One Useless Rebirth Chapter 136: What Do You Want for Christmas 1

…Di Qiuhe was definitely a menace!

He took the camera bag and walked to the dressing room.

Mrs. Yu, or Yu Hui, was the chief actress of Jia Sheng. During her 20-year career in showbiz, she had been awarded with numerous “Movie Queen” and endorsed for famous brands. In her heyday, even foreign fans worshipped her as goddess. Now she established a small studio to help emerging actors, of course, just for fun. Even though she was half retired currently, she could still be on the cover of C Studio's international-edition magazine. However, she offered to take photos for the cover of domestic edition, as a substitute for an emerging movie queen. That indeed stroke them dumb.

As a super star, Yu Hui had fans everywhere, including the make-up artist of C Studio. Currently, she was applying make-up for her idol, which was so thrilling that her hands began to shake. She almost ruined the eyeliner due to her nervousness.

“Relax.” Yu Hui said slowly and amiably with mild eyes. She was sitting at ease wearing plain dress and a loosely tied bun, “I want you to give me a wonderful make-up. These wrinkles, see? Cover them up.”

The make-up artist got even more excited by Yu Hui's words. She nodded vigorously with a red face, “Of…of course…No, no, your skin is good, I don't see any wrinkles, it's easy to apply make-up for you! Your natural look is also wonderful! Perfect!”

Yu Hui seemed to be pleased by her flattery. She looked at the side of her face and asked mildly, “So, Which kind of make-up do you think suits me most? What's the theme of this shoot? Is it interesting?”

“You can pull off any style! The theme is snow, super interesting. We will make artificial snow while shooting.” The make-up artist was diverted to answer her goddess's questions, full of excitement. She quickly explained the setting of this shot.

Yu Hui listened to her and chimed in occasionally. When the girl completely relaxed, Yu Hui began to lead the topic to make-up. The make-up artist followed her and finally returned to her profession. She came to herself and did the make-up calmly.

He Bai leaned against the door, observing the model that he would shoot soon. He overthrew all the plans for He Fenwei and rearranged everything for Yu Hui.

Maybe Yu Hui noticed his gaze, she suddenly turned to him and blinked at him as she was about to get changed. She winked at him and left with staff members to change clothes, leaving He Bai baffled.

He Bai gazed at her receding figure with confusion, with hand touching his face.

'Why did this mild goddess's smile looked meaningful…That's strange.'

About half an hour later, Yu Hui was all set, a beauty with white-red gradient dress was presented by the staff member. The lighting still needed some adjustment when the model arrived, while He Bai walked to Yu Hui, communicating with her about the shoot affairs. “You are indeed a meticulous and polite kid, as Di Qiuhe told me.” Yu Hui said after their communication with a mild, intimate, but a little bit kidding tone, right before the shoot began.

He Bai didn't know how to respond to her change and got baffled again.

“Your baffled, rounded-eyes face is also cute.” Yu Hui suddenly pinched his face and patted his shoulder quite intimately, saying, “I'll hold a small party at Christmas. You and Qiuhe can come around and have fun.”

The artificial snow was in place. The staff member signaled them to begin.

He Bai came to himself, wondering what Di Qiuhe had told her, while Yu Hui was walking to the camera, ready for shooting.

He Bai was a little bit speechless. He looked at that smiling Yu Hui and walked to the camera provided by C Studio. It seemed that this goddess was a little different from what he had heard of.

The theme was snow, so it would be on the special edition for Christmas. In order to match the atmosphere of Christmas, the costumes for the model were either red or white, featuring “rakish and sweet”.

He Fenwei, a delicate and cute girl, was perfect for the costumes this time, while Yu Hui was elegant, magnificent and dignified. Meanwhile, she was much more seasoned than He Fenwei, so the sweet costumes could not suit her.

Fortunately, the manager of C Studio was capable enough. He got some new costumes specially delivered for Yu Hui thus the problem was solved. However, a new problem emerged. Although these new costumes suited Yu Hui, the backdrop was totally mismatched, especially when the snow was falling.

The mature and classy model against sweet and dreamy backdrop, absolutely a clash.

He Bai looked at Yu Hui through the lens and sighed is his heart. He put down the camera. The effect was exactly as he had anticipated, mismatched. Even though they had gotten rid of unnecessary decorations, the situation did not take a turn for the better.

The staff also began to notice it and stopped their work, looking at the director. He frowned, also helpless.

The whole crew got distracted by the change of the actress and ends up paying no attention to adjusting the backdrop. Now the model and photographer were in position while the backdrop was not satisfactory. That was indeed unprofessional and awkward.

'What's next? Replace all the backdrops? Even a day was not enough for that work.'

“Of course, Christmas is a day full of happiness, but the overwhelming sweetness may make people satiated.” As everyone was stumped, He Bai stepped forward and broke the silence.

He pointed at the backdrop, which was white and decorated with stars while he looked at the staff member responsible for the sets and asked, “Can you change the color into black and remove all these stars? All of them. And do we have any lights? I mean the multi-colored lights, bring me a string of them please.” The staff member looked at him with confusion, “Huh?”

He Bai then pointed at the few sweet-style props and continued, “The light color decorations are not necessary, take them away. We just need as less things here as possible. And bring some black and red chiffon please.”

Then he looked at Yu Hui and asked, “Do you mind changing your make-up?”

Yu Hui considerately accepted it, as she liked to try different styles.

Now, He Bai turned to the make-up artist who had got ready and said mildly, “Can you do a heavier, glamorous make-up for Mrs. Yu?”

She looked at the elegant, smiling and amicable Yu Hui and recalled all the loving characters she played. She imaged a glamorous and bewitching goddess, but that scene really shocked her. She dared not to say anything.

“Follow his lead.” The manager suddenly appeared. He clapped his hands to draw their attention and raised his voice, “We have to trust our photographer, now move! Time is ticking.”

The staff understood something, taking a look at He Bai and Yu Hui and began to work.

It would take a while to arrange the backdrops and sites, so Yu Hui and He Bai came back to the dressing room.

The new make-up was finished within 10 minutes. Yu Hui appreciated her “villain” make-up that she rarely wore and looked at He Bai with a smile, “I guess you have a lot of questions to ask.”
