Chapter 1696: Chapter 1697: Lin Zhiya Ordered Clothes for Her
The day after returning from Chu Garden, Rong Yan and Fu Yi met up and discussed the details of their collaboration.
She spent the following days busy finalizing a new project with Estelle and Zhu Zhu, getting the cast and director set up one by one.
Zhou Chen heard about their new project and called specifically to ask if they needed more people. He could make his schedule available. Rong Yan politely declined his offer, but Zhou Chen was persistent, repeatedly saying he would participate as a favor without any compensation. Eventually, Rong Yan couldn’t resist his insistence and agreed to give him a guest role.
Since Lu Hanguang’s role became popular, Zhou Chen skyrocketed into one of the top stars in the circle, and his schedule was packed tight with constant invitations.
Rong Yan felt that Zhou Chen was eager to take on a role in the new film, not to ride on Bright Starry Sky’s popularity. Instead, it might be to repay the gratitude from being discovered by Bright Starry Sky in “Little Luck.” Another reason could be his sense of guilt for not stepping up when his agent caused trouble backstage last time, and he wanted a chance to make amends.
An artist’s schedule is not solely at their discretion. There’s also a team behind them.
Given Zhou Chen’s current level of fame, his insistence on offering free labor to Bright Starry Sky left his team helpless. A team’s inability to influence an artist doesn’t mean they won’t deliberately cause issues on set. She didn’t want to waste a perfectly good script on trivial disputes…
But she appreciated Zhou Chen’s thoughtfulness.
…
The new drama was in full swing.
As the year-end approached, various award ceremonies were gradually scheduled.
As the boss of Bright Starry Sky, Rong Yan received numerous invitations. She rejected as many as she could, and for those she couldn’t, she had Zhu Zhu help arrange her schedule.
Invitations like the one from the AQ platform were not easy to decline. This year, AQ was partnering with several fashion media to host an award banquet.
Since “Little Luck,” a Bright Starry Sky production, was invested in by AQ and aired on their platform, Rong Yan couldn’t turn down the invitation.
In the evening, Rong Yan finished her work and arranged to meet Gaia. After putting aside her tasks, she drove to the mall.
The mall housed several luxury brands. Rong Yan typically dressed simply and wasn’t fond of shopping. Many T-shirts were directly bought online, and she seldom visited this area.
It took her a while to find the agreed-upon store by asking around.
This mall targeted high-end clientele, and compared to the city’s main shopping center, the foot traffic was low. However, those who came were usually dressed extraordinarily, clearly not ordinary people.
She got up late in the morning, threw on a shirt and jeans, and went out without makeup, blending into the background.
It wasn’t until she reached the entrance that any of Gaia’s sales associates paid attention to her.
“Hello, is this Gaia?”
“Yes, it is.”
“Is your director in the store?”
Gaia, known as a rapidly rising national style brand in Capital City in recent years, often designs only one piece per style, making it extremely scarce. Because of its rarity, many celebrities and socialites favored the brand.
Rong Yan initially planned to grab something from her wardrobe. However, when Lin Zhiya learned she was attending the award ceremony, she called to tell Rong Yan that she had a custom outfit made for her here, so Rong Yan had no choice but to pick it up.
