Xia Yingluo smiled and looked at her. “Lunatic? Help me bring these two words to Gu Jinxiu, thank you.”
Tang Yuan was dizzy for a while. She didn’t expect Xia Yingluo to be so arrogant. Seeing that she couldn’t shoot today... if the schedule was delayed and Xia Yingluo’s version was broadcasted, how was Gu Jinxiu going to punish her! Tang Yuan felt terrible just thinking about it, and chaotically ordered in a trembling voice. “Go! Go and get the person in charge of styling! Tell them to work overtime and get the armor done!” Qiang Zi went quickly.
Xia Yingluo looked at all this with a smile and slowly walked away with her own people.
She didn’t care if Qiang Zi went to see Jerry. Anyway, Jerry had no time to talk to them. As a stylist, she believed that Jerry’s interest in the armor improvement plan was higher than everything else. Even if he was forced to help Tang Yuan build another armor, he would give it to his assistants or postpone it to after he learned the new technology.
In any case, it was impossible for Tang Yuan to make an armor quickly and well.
She returned home in a good mood, and the next day, Jerry brought a gift to the door to discuss the improvement of the armor.
Xia Yingluo was also direct. She pointed out several places that could be improved, and it was all based on the consideration of cosmic dynamics—what characteristics should the equipment have to fight under different gravity parameters. Jerry was so in awe that he said, “Ms. Xia, you are amazing. This set of armor theory is almost like a real one, as if it’s not just for a movie. It feels like we humans can really fight on an alien planet! It’s like real science!”
Xia Yingluo smiled. “It’s still far from being able to fight.”
The improvements she had told him were understood by human IQ, and several of them also used the learning curve that had long been eliminated by other races in the universe in order to take care of human aesthetics. This was also to prevent Wei Lingnan from seeing the clues, and the impure style looked like an imaginative work of a high-end Earth designer, instead of the perfect battle armor brought by the real combat star out of experience.
Jerry was stunned by her words, then he rubbed his hands and said, “Yes, you’re right, Ms. Xia. How could there be a real Star Wars? These are just science fiction imaginations, who knows how effective it is? However, it’s really great... Once the design background of this armor is released, it’ll definitely cause a stir among the science fiction fans!”
What Xia Yingluo wanted was this effect.
Therefore, no effort was spared in every detail.
Her father told her that for the most popular works of the world, in addition to the work itself, its background structure and the extension of every detail were also very important. At the same time, it would arouse the fans’ huge excitement and debate, so that the work would have infinite vitality. She deliberately blended several real and fake cosmological theories with the existing science fiction genres on Earth—whether right or wrong, she didn’t leave any of it out. Presumably, the conflicts triggered alone would be enough to generate a global discussion.
And her popularity would soar in the discussion.
Xia Yingluo was very satisfied with her plan.
Jerry drew the design drawings according to their discussion plan. He was so fascinated that he kept changing it, and didn’t even notice when Xia Yingluo left.
Xia Yingluo left him alone in the studio, and told the servant to remember to prepare dinner and a bed for him—she knew how delicate and complex this armor was, and to integrate all the points in it, using human IQ, no one could accomplish it within a few days and nights. As for Tang Yuan? Hehe, she just had to wait slowly.
She was in a good mood and asked Tan Ying, “How’s Tang Yuan? Is she crying with anxiety?”
Tan Ying raised her eyebrows slightly. “What wicked taste.”
“How is it wicked? I spare no effort to suppress competitors.” Xia Yingluo smiled innocently. “Uncle Tan, hurry up and talk about her unhappiness to make me happy.”
“You...” Tan Ying couldn’t handle her and said, “Jerry left a few assistants to help Tang Yuan re-do your set of armor, which was the burnt version, but what the assistants made was unsatisfactory. The commercial has been filmed again and again all day long, and it’s far worse than yours. The boss of Huanisi’s advertising department will vomit blood after watching it.”
Xia Yingluo gloated. “Who made them substitute me? Oh, how’s the negotiation going?”
Tan Ying said, “I used Skyart’s forces to oppress them. They don’t seem to want to offend us, but they don’t want to offend Gu Jinxiu either. I was curious, how could a small company like the Gu family compete with Skyart? It took me a while to realize that it’s Wei Lingnan who’s supporting her from behind the scenes.”
He said, glancing at Xia Yingluo.
Xia Yingluo was slightly surprised, and her heart felt empty.
It seemed that Wei Lingnan really cared for Gu Jinxiu and must help her no matter what. But what did it matter to her? Why was she so down?
Xia Yingluo shook her head gently, trying to shake away the strangeness in her heart.
“Tell me more,” she whispered to Tan Ying.
Tan Ying didn’t keep anything from her and didn’t even think that he might be disturbing her thoughts. In fact, he thought that as a lady from the Li family, she should face these bleak feelings of frustration and not escape from them. After sorting out his thoughts, he said, “Huanisi is a cosmetic manufacturer. The core ingredients of their cosmetics were purchased from the Wei Family Biopharmaceutical Group. It’s because of these core ingredients that their cosmetics are different and they can do such a big business. They won’t be able to do it without the Wei family. In this case, if the Wei family asked them to replace an endorser, no matter how outstanding you are, you won’t be able to win over the Wei family who holds Huanisi’s lifeline.”
So that was why.
Xia Yingluo nodded, indicating that she understood.
She didn’t expect that even a group like Huanisi had business dealings with the Wei family. In the past few years, how long had Wei Lingnan’s hand stretched out?
“Do you have any suggestions?” she asked Tan Ying.
Tan Ying understood what she meant, and gave her the next step directly. “The pre-promotion of the movie ‘Star Wars Era’ has already begun. Everyone knows that the cosmetics in it are sponsored by Huanisi. Temporary change of sponsorship isn’t suitable under these circumstances, it’ll only make people want to gossip. If you don’t change the sponsor, you must get this spring advertisement for the same reason—everybody knows that you endorsed the brand already. If they change the endorser suddenly, the masses would gossip about your failure, which isn’t good for you.”
