Chapter 579: 579 Dragon Sing Phoenix Cry, High Preorder First Explode! [1 More]

Even though Shen Xinghe spent most of the past half-year expanding into new markets at the Global Center, she kept a close watch on the news from Shenzhou.

The name Ye Wanlan burst onto the scene like the sudden appearance of the Ziwei Star, making it difficult for anyone to remain unaware.

Especially at the end of June, when the college entrance exam results came out, the title of perfect score in liberal arts became a huge topic of discussion online.

The influence of the Youth Calligraphy Finals may have been lesser than the Shenzhou High School joint exams, but it still brought more attention to Ye Wanlan.

However, as Ye Wanlan’s fame on the internet grew, so did the speculation and calls for her to enter the entertainment circle.

After all, even if Ye Wanlan wasn’t skilled in anything else, with just her face, she could dominate in the entertainment industry.

Indeed, this made actresses taking a similar path, and even some male actors, feel a very strong sense of crisis.

Shen Xinghe, however, felt no such thing; if Ye Wanlan truly entered the circle, she would only lament the loss of a prodigy from the academic world.

At that time, across the distant oceans, Shen Xinghe wondered what kind of person Ye Wanlan was. It was as if there were layers of mysterious veils surrounding her, waiting for someone to unveil them.

But she never imagined that Ye Wanlan would turn out to be the new chairman of Shengshi Entertainment!

Last year, Shengshi Entertainment underwent a round of executive personnel changes, which at the time made some of Sheng Entertaiment’s artists anxious, as no one knew how these changes might negatively affect their work.

After the new chairman took position, a series of policies were issued, including sending artists to the Global Center for further training.

Shen Xinghe was very grateful for this policy, and her return this time was also to thank the company.

"Chairman Ye... Chairman Ye!" Shen Xinghe quickly regained her composure, pushing down the shock in her heart, she paused, then couldn’t help saying, "I really didn’t expect it, you... I’ve heard of your great reputation long ago, and I am very thankful for the opportunity to go to the Global Center."

At eighteen, she had won the Best Actress award with a single movie, and was also called the youngest Best Actress of the twenty-first century in Shenzhou.

But Shen Xinghe knew where her weaknesses lay, which was the great and difficult distance from the international performing arts circle.

As Shenzhou’s film and television industry started late, the top resources in the circle were firmly controlled by the Global Center, which did not allow Shenzhou Beilu to have a share.

One can imagine how much effort Sheng Entertaiment must have made to send her to the Global Center.

And she would certainly not let down Sheng Entertaiment’s expectations.

"There’s no need for such formality, this is what Teacher Shen deserves," Ye Wanlan said with a light smile, "But to have Teacher Shen remain in obscurity during the prime of your career has led to negative opinions from the outside world."

"The outside world is the outside world, and I am me," Shen Xinghe shook her head, "If those kinds of criticisms could shake me, then I wouldn’t have gotten to where I am now."

The more one stands in the public eye, the more scrutiny and judgments one has to endure.

"I quite like Teacher Shen’s temperament and disposition," Ye Wanlan said, pushing a document forward, "But to be out of the spotlight for half a year within Shenzhou was also an oversight by the company, and I hope Teacher Shen will like this gown."

Shen Xinghe was somewhat surprised.

She had been striving in the film industry for a long time, and her fashion resources indeed far surpassed those of her peers.

However, last year, due to a luxury brand she was contracted with intending to divide the map of Shenzhou, she terminated her contract.

But this luxury brand was also a local brand of the Global Center, and her action was tantamount to challenging the entire Global Center’s fashion industry.

Hence, after the incident, Shen Xinghe’s fashion resources dropped significantly.

However, she never cared much about anything other than acting; she preferred to focus solely on her performances.

"This is..." Shen Xinghe flipped the document open, visibly shocked, she abruptly looked up, "Pulling the Sky’s haute couture for this year?!"

The document contained pictures of the gown, a new fusion of traditional Shenzhou culture and modern trends, which was Pulling the Sky Company’s specialty.

Combining ancient Shenzhou culture with today’s trends not only allowed for the promotion of Shenzhou culture but also made it easier to break out of Shenzhou and venture into the whole world.

"Blue Sea Tide..." Shen Xinghe steadied her mind, "I may not understand design, but this gown looks like a goddess who has stepped out of the sea."

"This is the ’Bihai’ collection for this season, and this is one of the three haute couture outfits," Ye Wanlan nodded, "The ’Blue Sea Tide’ suits Teacher Shen’s temperament very well."

Shen Xinghe almost couldn’t help but burst into tears, clutching the document and slowly releasing a breath, "Chairman Ye, I heard that even international stars are vying for Pulling the Sky’s haute couture. It must have taken the company a great deal of effort to get this outfit, right?"

"Pulling the Sky is a Shenzhou company; naturally, we should first serve Shenzhou’s actors," Ye Wanlan raised an eyebrow, "Even if those foreign A-list celebrities have higher popularity than you, none of them is more suitable than you."

Shen Xinghe expressed her sincere gratitude, "I really like this dress."

"Good," Ye Wanlan nodded, "Someone from Pulling the Sky will take you to try on the dress later. It’s not been publicly announced yet, remember to keep it a secret."

"Certainly," Shen Xinghe gave her a slight bow, "I’ll step out first then."

After handling a few more documents, Ye Wanlan also stood up and left, returning to Pulling the Sky Company.

The timing was quite delicate, as Yan Tingfeng had just arrived.

Upon seeing her, he blinked gently, "Xiao Wan, you seem eager to find me; is there something urgent?"

"I want to give you a suit," Ye Wanlan said, "Come on, let’s go to the fitting room."

The women’s haute couture collection is named "Bihai," while the men’s is "Yuntian," comprising six haute couture outfits in total.

All six outfits were exclusively designed by Jiang Xulin.

Jiang Xulin had been working tirelessly for several days and was now dozing off on the couch.

"Yuntian Fengming?" Yan Tingfeng looked at the white, gold, and blue entwined suit, thoughtful, "That’s a nice name."

"Hmm, go try it on," Ye Wanlan nodded, "See if it fits."

Jiang Xulin was still napping, his head nodding off.

Five minutes later, Yan Tingfeng emerged from the fitting room.

In that moment, it was as if a radiant splendor had descended from the heavens, gracing the earth.

He wore no accessories, nor any makeup; his silver-white hair gently cascaded from his shoulders, and he was incomparably beautiful.

But suddenly, his gaze changed, and the whole aura about him became sharp.

This time, Jiang Xulin snapped awake, excitedly exclaiming, "Yes! This is the effect I wanted, it’s perfect!"

As a designer, there were only two things that could thrill him.

One was to bring the designs in his mind to reality, and the other was to find someone who could perfectly exhibit his creations.

Jiang Xulin never expected that Yan Tingfeng could display both a fierce and gentle temperament so flawlessly, without any incongruity.

This was precisely the design concept of "Yuntian Fengming," a phoenix standing proudly above the clouds.

"So perfect," Jiang Xulin leapt up and circled around Yan Tingfeng, "Very good, it’s excellent!"

"Does Xiao Wan have a suit too?" Yan Tingfeng’s eyes narrowed slightly, "I wonder what the name of Xiao Wan’s outfit is?"

"Bihai Dragon Roar," said Jiang Xulin, "Like Yuntian Fengming, it’s a lead work in the series, perfect!"

Yan Tingfeng nodded slightly, a smile breaking on his face, "It is perfect."

"Then the selection is decided," Ye Wanlan said, "I’ll have the publicity team start with the first announcement."

At two o’clock in the afternoon, Pulling the Sky announced the new "Bihai" and "Yuntian" haute couture series on various social media platforms.

[Ah! Why did they only reveal two haute couture outfits? Where’s the most important one?]

[Insider info, guaranteed, the most important outfit named ’Bihai Dragon Roar’ has been given to Wei Qingyao. Truth will be out in three days, if not, I’ll eat trash while standing on my head.]

[Shen Xinghe really doesn’t cut it anymore, huh? After half a year of silence, why are they pairing her with Wei Qingyao, who is two years her junior?]
