God's New Clothes

As soon as Xu Shi'an left, Zhou Mo came over to find Tong Yan: "The makeup and hair team has arrived, and now they are going to try makeup on the models, so go and have a look."

The makeup director this time is an Asian-American who can speak a little Chinese.He said that he was very happy to take over the makeup work for this fashion show. He has always been looking forward to Chinese culture. After learning about the design theme of this time, he also did a lot of preparation work, so he wanted to design a Tsing Yi for the model similar to Peking Opera. Such a hairstyle.

Tong Yan and Zhou Mo looked at each other, Tong Yan put his head next to Zhou Mo's ear and whispered, "It reminds me of a certain version of "Dream of Red Mansions."

Zhou Mo made a shuddering gesture, and smiled without saying a word. Let the chief designer talk about such offending things.

Tong Yan said to the makeup director in English: "Neil, I know you have done a lot of preparations for this fashion show, and your creativity is also very good, but this makeup looks too much like a Beijing opera. Our costumes have elements of Peking opera. But rarely, if I go on stage with this hairstyle, I worry that the audience will think it's weird."

Disappointed, Neil knit his eyebrows together and said, "OK, I respect your opinion, so do you have any suggestions?"

Tong Yan thought of Ding Xiao's big wavy hairstyle when he was trying on clothes. He thought it looked good that way, and used a feminine hairstyle to dilute the sense of strength brought by some oversized coats.So he said to Neil, "How about a big wave?"

"Big waves? It seems to be a good choice. I see that many women in Peking Opera have red eye makeup. Can we do this? Let's make red eye makeup and a big wave hairstyle?" Neil's mind was spinning quickly. Another plan was immediately proposed.

Tong Yan thought about it and thought it was okay, so Neil immediately arranged for someone to try makeup on a model.

The overall effect is not bad, the makeup and hair are settled, and tomorrow all the makeup and styling of the models will follow this.

Because of too much work, they only ate some sandwiches for lunch to satisfy their hunger. After the fitting rehearsal and makeup, it was already dinner time. Xu Shian specially asked Tina to order Chinese takeaway. Twice-cooked pork and rice, almost weeping with joy.

Tong Yan brought a box of Kung Pao Chicken and was eating and chatting with Zhou Mo when he saw Xu Shi'an walking over with two lunch boxes.He opened one of the lunch boxes, put it in front of Tong Yan and said, "Don't you like this? How about a taste?"

When Tong Yan saw the braised pork, his eyes were straightened: "Why is there still braised pork!" He was about to pick it up, then looked around vigilantly at the people around him, and retracted his chopsticks.This is a "small stove" that he only had, and he was embarrassed to eat it. Xu Shi'an saw his thoughts, so he said, "Don't worry, everyone has it. I asked the restaurant to add it later."

Tong Yan laughed, immediately took a piece and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing hard.

Xu Shi'an asked, "Is it delicious?"

Tong Yan hesitated and said, "It's okay, but it's too sweet. How do you know I like braised pork?"

Xu Shi'an saw that his mouth was sticky from eating, and said, "Your grandma told me."

Zhou Mo originally lowered his head to eat, but now he looked up at the two of them, feeling that he was too redundant, so he found an excuse and left decisively.

"Hey..." Tong Yan still wanted to keep him, but Xu Shi'an had already sat at Zhou Mo's original place, and said, "Hurry up and eat it, it won't taste good if it gets cold. Why don't we eat it differently, mine is twice-cooked pork." "

Tong Yan looked at Xu Shi'an and couldn't explain it, why did the cold and iceberg suddenly become a sticky bug?I can't stand it.He was afraid that Xu Shi'an would talk nonsense again, so he hurried to find something to say: "What, there will be no guests on the show tomorrow?"

"A few of them, not as many as in China, have found a crew to shoot in the United States. Most of them are some media and international buyers."

Tong Yan asked again: "Is it going to be very late today? Our work here is over, and I see that the live broadcast is still being debugged."

"It's not a big problem over there. Go back and rest early when you're done. I'll watch over here."

"You still want to watch yourself?"

"Well, this live broadcast is too important to make any mistakes." Xu Shi'an didn't have the nerve to say that if something went wrong with the live broadcast, he would lose all his wife's money, so how could he dare to lick his face and go to Tong Yan's side.

After dinner, Tong Yan, Zhou Mo and others went back to the hotel together.

It was quite cold in New York at night, and there were few pedestrians on the road. Tong Yan shrank his neck and pulled up the scarf knitted by his grandma.While walking, Zhou Mo suddenly pushed him from behind, Tong Yan staggered a few steps forward and almost fell down.

He stabilized his steps, turned around and questioned Zhou Mo: "Why are you pushing me?

"Zhou Mo walked up to him, put his hands in his pockets, and turned his elbow away from him. Tong Yan took a few steps back: "You are sick, let me kiss you again!" "

Zhou Mo finally spoke: "You can do it, your parents have seen it, do I have to prepare a dowry for you?"

See parents?

During the meal, Xu Shi'an said "Grandma told him that he loves braised pork", which probably caused Zhou Mo to misunderstand. Tong Yan seemed to have been exposed to a little secret, and said shyly, "What, I just met grandma by chance. , let’s have a meal together.” While speaking, he rubbed his shoe against a raised stone.

The old driver pretends to be so fresh!Zhou Mo really couldn't stand him like this, and teased: "My God, can you stop being shy? You're not a boy, and your expression is as if you've never been in a relationship before!"

The kiss at the Empire State Building could make Tong Yan throw away all hesitation and fetters, he couldn't control himself at all, the sweetness in his heart pulled the corners of his mouth to bend upwards, and he couldn't pull it back.

Zhou Mo couldn't stand it anymore, and asked, "What do you like about him?"

Tong Yan looked up at Zhou Mo, then lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Well, you're handsome, have a good figure, and have a good talent."

Zhou Mo became angry when he heard it: "Are you sincerely angry with me? I can't talk to you today!"

Tong Yan hurriedly coaxed: "Don't be angry, I was joking."

In fact, since the two met, except for the time when he eavesdropped on the father and son's conversation, Xu Shi'an has been very kind to him most of the time, because he has a knot in his heart, so he feels that this kindness is nothing more than hypocrisy. In order to convince others, you must first convince yourself, which is very difficult.

He said to Zhou Mo: "I think he cares about me, knows what I want and is willing to achieve it with me, except that he is a little arbitrary occasionally."

After all, the relationship is a matter between two people. No matter how good the relationship between Zhou Mo and Tong Yan is, it can't replace him.Seeing that it was rare for Tong Yan to have a good talk, Zhou Mo was embarrassed to scold him again: "At least he should have something to say to you, what's the point of always being so vaguely tired of being together? You don't intend to Ask him, would you be willing to be led by him and lead you to the ditch later?"

"I...I really want to ask. I was about to ask last time, but you called me and told me to go back. I didn't succeed."

"You can ask anytime you want, what does it have to do with me? Are you afraid? I don't know why, so I dare not ask?"

"Ask must be asked. After the press conference is over, how can I take care of it when I am so busy now." Tong Yan said, "If he has no long-term plans, we can keep our distance and never get tired of it, okay?"

Zhou Mo sighed, and said to Tong Yan earnestly, "I just want you to live in peace and stability, nothing else."

Tong Yan walked over and hugged Zhou Mo: "I know, it's not easy for you to be both a father and a mother. Don't worry, I can live well with him or without him."

Zhou Mo: "..."

The two returned to the hotel, washed up early and went to bed.

Because there is a [-]-hour time difference with China, the press conference was scheduled to start at [-]:[-] pm the next day, which is [-]:[-] am Beijing time, which gave the front team more time to prepare.

Tong Yan arrived at the show after ten o'clock in the morning, checked everywhere, and had a working meal with his colleagues at noon.

After lunch, the models and hair and make-up crew arrived on set to begin prep work.There were more and more people in the backstage, but Tong Yan never saw Xu Shi'an's shadow, and he didn't know where he went.

Xu Shi'an didn't show up until all the models had put on their makeup and changed their clothes.Tong Yan helped Ding Xiao get dressed and went backstage to find someone. He didn't see Xu Shi'an but saw Hao Xintong running towards him in a panic.

"Tong, Teacher Tong, yes, there is trouble!"

Tong Yan looked around and said, "What's the trouble? Tell me what's going on slowly, don't stutter!"

Hao Xintong was so nervous that his forehead was sweating, Tong Yan took out two pieces of paper from the dressing table to help him dry, Hao Xintong pulled Tong Yan up anxiously and left: "You better come here!"

He brought Tong Yan to a model. The model was wearing a black cashmere coat. Tong Yan noticed something was wrong when he saw it, and asked, "Where's the belt?"

Hao Xintong said with a bitter face, "The belt was still there when I was arranging the clothes yesterday, but it disappeared when I put on the clothes today. I searched all over the backstage and couldn't find the belt. Teacher Tong, what should I do?"

Tong Yan could see that the child was really frightened, and he couldn't be more nervous than him, so he deliberately said lightly: "Then look for it again, I'm sure it's not lost."

"I've searched everywhere, but I can't find it. I'm going to be on stage soon... What, what should I do?" Hao Xintong started wiping tears as he spoke.

"Why are you crying?" Tong Yan took him to a corner and comforted him, "It's not your fault. Let's think of a remedy first and see if we can find the belt."

Hao Xintong nodded.

"I remember that there is a show piece in front of the belt of this dress. Now you can bring me some fabrics of various colors. It should be thicker. I remember they brought it."

Hao Xintong acted immediately, and Tong Yan was on the sidelines directing: "Cut the fabrics of these colors into 1.5-meter-long strips, with raw edges, and you need nine pieces." Hao Xintong did so, and Tong Yan said, "I'll get you some Then, weave three strips of cloth of different colors into twists, and then weave these three twists together to make it looser." Hao Xintong finished, waiting for Tong Yan to make the next arrangement, Tong Yan rummaged through the basket of accessories , found two fist-sized show pieces, he picked them up and put them on the model's waist for comparison, and they looked good: "These two patterns are put on the front, the belt is sewn with the embroidered piece, and two invisible trouser hooks are added to the embroidered piece Isn't it just a belt?"

Hao Xintong hurriedly followed what Tong Yan said, not daring to be sloppy at all, and put it on the model after sewing, and it was actually quite harmonious.

Tong Yan said: "Look, isn't this resolved? Don't panic."

On the one hand, Hao Xintong has seen Tong Yan's ability to remain calm, on the other hand, he is also grateful that he did not criticize himself. After all, this is a change from the original design. If it is another designer, even if he has ten layers of skin, it may not be enough.

"Teacher Tong," Hao Xintong said pitifully, "Thank you, I'm really sorry, I will definitely pay attention in the future."

Tong Yandong rummaged around and looked around, wondering if he could find the original belt. Seeing that the child was terrified, he hugged him as he walked and said, "It's nothing, I'll tell you something even worse. When I was in school, I did a graduation design conference with Zhou Mo, but I didn’t know what happened. I lost a pair of pants. I can’t let the model go on stage with bare buttocks. Zhou Mo and I hurriedly put the model’s own The jeans were scribbled on, and he went up and down the stage."

Tong Yan laughed loudly: "Fortunately, our style at that time was relatively secondary, otherwise I really don't know what to do. The key is that there is a teacher who likes that pants very much, and keeps commenting on how ingenious those pants are. Gu, Zhou Mo and I almost died from laughing." Hao Xintong inexplicably laughed too, he found that Tong Yan's smile was very good-looking, with red lips and white teeth, and an indescribable youthful air, and he was fascinated by it for a while.Tong Yan was still telling him interesting stories from his school days, but Hao Xintong couldn't listen to anything, his eyes were full of Tong Yan's beaming expression.

Tong Yan supported Hao Xintong's shoulders and was out of breath laughing. When he looked up, he suddenly saw Xu Shi'an who hadn't shown up all morning, standing beside him at some point, with his hands in his coat pockets, his face was so cold that it was about to freeze of the lake.
