Chapter 138: Chapter 139: Fan-Attracting Ability_1
Mo Guanyu appeared somewhat startled, seemingly surprised by Qiao Xiaren’s powerful ability to attract fans. Shen Ruyin’s facial expression visibly stiffened, she feigned nonchalance and said, “Miss Qiao certainly has big ambitions, to conquer the world, truly a force to be reckoned with in her youth.”
She scrutinised Qiao Xiaren’s face, not expecting her to bravely appear without makeup.
Those crystal clear and bright eyes, as pure as snow-coloured jade. Without makeup, her face is flawless and clean, like a lotus flower washed clean by clear water, hard to take your eyes off.
In fact, Qiao Xiaren doesn’t need makeup to look refined before the camera lens at all. However, makeup simply helps her to portray various characters more expressively.
Qiao Xiaren lightly smiled and flipped her hair, striking a glamorous curve, “A soldier who doesn’t aspire to be a general isn’t a good soldier, don’t you think so, senior Shen?”
“Excellent, the youth are indeed frightening!” Li Li surprisingly approved.
The reporters naturally aimed their lenses and attention at Qiao Xiaren, who seemed to be a natural darling of the camera, looking perfect from every angle, not revealing any flaws.
“Miss Qiao, your look today is indeed very beautiful, however, it overall appears slightly too innocent. The Demon Immortal in ‘Slaying Immortal’ is seductive and enchanting, can Miss Qiao handle this role?”
A female reporter first threw out this sharp question. Indeed, the makeup-free Qiao Xiaren looked fresh. Even though she was wearing a resplendent red robe, she unfortunately failed to exhibit the temperament of the Demon Immortal.
The reporters silently wrote her off in their minds, thinking that this character setting was nothing special. Although Qiao Xiaren is indeed very beautiful, her beauty did not align with the Demon Immortal. Her current image would rather suit the portrayal of an innocent little fairy.
“It’s a pity. The moment the goddess made her appearance, there was quite a stirring. However, at this moment, she doesn’t give me the vibe of the Demon Immortal. For this character setting photo, out of a full score of ten, I give five, only out of regard for the goddess’s natural beauty.” A netizen couldn’t help but make a comment, and many others echoed it in agreement.
At the actual site, Qiao Xiaren listened to the reporter very politely. This won her a few more points of goodwill from them and they were thereby much friendlier.
“This lady posed a good question. However, today’s attire only represents fifty percent of the official character photos. As everyone knows quite clearly, the Demon Immortal role is truly demanding in terms of acting skills. I have seen all the controversies on the internet, everybody uniformly believe that I possess the face to portray the Demon Immortal, yet lack the ability to get the character right. Today, I want to tell everyone that even without my appearance, I can equally bring to life that lonely yet passionate, affectionate yet cruel unparalleled Demon Immortal.”
“Miss Qiao just mentioned that today’s look is only fifty percent of the authentic character photo, where is the rest fifty percent?” A reporter asked curiously.
“Well…” Qiao Xiaren slightly smiled, mysteriously saying, “The remaining fifty percent is naturally the makeup of the Demon Immortal. Today… I am simply here in my pure, makeup-free form. I believe that once I put on a slightly wicked makeup and with my acting skills, the Demon Immortal in your minds will come alive.”
The camera immediately zoomed in for a close-up shot of Qiao Xiaren. Under the high-definition lens, her skin looked delicate and flawless, like moon glow and lustrous like pearl, completely devoid of any trace of powder. Her pupil are large, her eyelashes long and curled, creating an effect as if wearing false eyelashes. Her rosy lips were as beautiful as a blooming rose.
It was just that Qiao Xiaren’s attire today was no different from usual, thus people didn’t immediately realise.
