CHAPTER 76: THIRD LEG

Thus, the Nalan Prince in the drama also innocently got scolded for being blind and lacking taste, for not falling for Princess Xiangxiang but instead for a broken princess. Both the male and female leads felt that this definitely wasn’t their fault.

The makeup artist shouted from over there, "Director Zhang, can you blame me for this? This is an inherent flaw in looks and temperament, makeup can’t fix it."

Everyone laughed, and Wen Nuan also smiled. Such a drama crew, without any scheming and getting along so happily, was rare. When filming this drama, she was very happy. During breaks, Wen Nuan and Zhuo Bingbing simply didn’t remove their makeup and ran to Lin Ning’s crew in their flowing costumes. His film was nearing its end in the next few days and wasn’t very busy.

Director Lin, upon seeing Wen Nuan’s look, quickly had his own photographer take pictures and also asked the stylist to study it. Wen Nuan was bewildered. Tang Mandong also took pictures with her phone, planning to show them off when she returned to school.

Chen Xueru’s scenes had also recently finished, and she was planning to take on another script.

"Director Lin, have you also taken a liking to our Princess Xiangxiang?" Zhuo Bingbing asked coquettishly.

Director Lin said, "Your princess is too ethereal. A mortal like me wouldn’t dare to think about it. Even if I did, my third leg would be broken."

Third leg? Wen Nuan was confused. Where did the third leg come from?

The male actors on the crew, familiar with Director Lin’s roguishness, said, "Director Lin, stop teasing the young lady. Look, even the princess doesn’t understand."

"Sigh, someone’s education is too much of a failure. I’ll have to talk to him later," Director Lin sighed dramatically. Wen Nuan still didn’t understand, but Zhuo Bingbing understood and couldn’t stop laughing.

Wen Nuan asked what’s that meant. Director Lin said mysteriously, "Ask your man when you get home."

Wen Nuan was even more confused.

Everyone laughed. Director Lin looked at Wen Nuan up and down with interest "Speaking of which, your looks are truly suitable for both ancient and modern times."

"That’s right!" Wen Nuan blinked her peach blossom eyes and very narcissistically struck a beautiful pose in her flowing white dress. "Director Lin, look, do I look like a flower bud?"

"You and that Ye fellow are indeed a match made in heaven."

"Get lost!"

The posters and trailers for "Princess Qinglian" had all been released, and the internet was full of praise. Those who were originally eighty percent against the drama now all claimed they wanted to see it as soon as possible.

The drama hadn’t even aired yet, but it was already a hit.

Moreover, with the old version of "Princess Qinglian" as a hook, Director Lin said that even if it was garbage, the ratings wouldn’t be bad. Zhuo Bingbing and Chen Hang were powerful actors, all the hardware was up to par, and their temperament was also suitable. Plus, there were veteran actors like Peng Yuming and Cheng Ying. It would be hard for it not to be a hit.

The most popular character was Princess Xiangxiang.

In the first trailer, Director Zhang was incredibly biased. The four-minute trailer had almost two minutes of just Wen Nuan, forcefully editing her to be like the female lead, on par with Zhuo Bingbing. The two male leads were forcefully turned into supporting characters.

Wen Nuan had recently become very fond of browsing Tianya Forum and Mop. Why?

Some time ago, Tianya and Mop were full of hatred, scolding Wen Nuan terribly, hurting her delicate self-esteem. She even went to find posts scolding Zhuo Bingbing to balance her wounded heart.

But now, the internet was flooded with posts praising Princess Xiangxiang for being very fairy-like, ethereal, elegant, lively, breathtakingly beautiful, and stunning. Wen Nuan felt a sweet joy in her heart, like a blooming flower bud.

Her parents also watched the posters and trailers and praised them endlessly, making Wen Nuan even happier. She was cheerful all day long, like a little bird, completely forgetting the scene in Casablanca.

In short, Wen Nuan was very much in the limelight recently.

Moreover, the 5203 series perfume was launched with a bang, quickly ranking first in sales among similar products, becoming the new favorite of young girls and married women. And the ambiguous and sentimental advertisement for the 5203 series perfume immediately blanketed all the major TV stations in A City and the exterior walls of shopping malls and buildings were all short advertisements for the 5203 series, featuring a woman’s half-naked butterfly shoulders.

The advertisement also began to display the model’s name: Wen Nuan!

Anning International’s Ye Feimo officially announced that Wen Nuan had become the spokesperson for this perfume.

Next, the 5203 series jewelry was about to be launched, and Wen Nuan was also the sole spokesperson for this jewelry. This news was shocking in the entertainment industry. Anning International’s jewelry had always been endorsed by foreign superstars because it was a globally best-selling jewelry brand. From the beginning, Anning International had never used any Asian female star to endorse Anning International jewelry.

But this time, Wen Nuan became the only Eastern female star spokesperson for Anning jewelry.

And it wasn’t just an endorsement for the Asian region, but the sole global spokesperson.

Cai Xiaojing was also a bit stunned when she received this news. Second Young Master Ye, you’ve instantly raised Wen Nuan to such a height.

When the former president of Anning International, Third Young Master Ye, was selecting jewelry spokespeople, he considered the global sales of the jewelry and the jewelry itself. He believed that no Eastern artist could bring out the aura that Anning jewelry required. Therefore, he had never used an Asian star, and this had become a tradition. Second Young Master Ye’s views were very much in line with his father’s.

Therefore, Wen Nuan was the first Asian face for Anning jewelry.

Wen Nuan was expressionless, her heart very conflicted. Was this the benefit of being kept?

Once this was reported, Wen Nuan quickly became the darling of advertisers. Countless advertisements and endorsements flocked to her, overwhelming Cai Xiaojing. Wen Nuan’s advertising value also increased several times over.

Cheng Anya, watching Ye Feimo announce Wen Nuan as the spokesperson at the jewelry launch event at home, twitched the corner of her eye. "The benefit of supporting your own family is great. You can make them popular without spending money. Feimo’s mind works really fast."

Third Young Master Ye: "..."

Ye Kelan pouted. "Grandpa, Grandma, have Second Uncle promote me too! Promote me! Baby is well-behaved and cute, beautiful and clever, loved by everyone, flowers bloom when they see me. There are many benefits to promoting me, too! I won’t even charge for endorsements!"

Ye Kelan even struck a very ladylike pose.

"Let you film milk powder commercials?" Ye Tianyu asked with a smile.

Third Young Master Ye: "..."

Cheng Anya: "..."

"No! Let Little Uncle come and film a couple’s series of commercials with me, Grandma..."

Xu Nuo covered her face, utterly speechless at this daughter.
