Gu Li was scheduled for a variety show recording tomorrow, so she would be flying to another city this afternoon. Meng Yinglei took advantage of the situation and arranged an airport street shoot for her.
The so-called airport street shooting is an airport fashion show. As long as the celebrities are popular in the circle and have a high fan base, they will usually be sponsored by the brand to ask them to bring some goods. They will wear clothes and shoes from a certain brand and carry something from a certain brand, for example, pretending to take a few beautiful photos casually, to attract fans’ purchasing power and boost that brand sale.
Airport street shooting is a must-see for celebrities’ private server PK. In addition to being more fashionable and more popular than anyone else, one should have a strong ability to carry goods and clothes.
Many fans are Yankong, meaning as long as you are good-looking, well-dressed, stylish and beautiful, they will love you and spoil you, and won’t hesitate to spend money for you like running water. 1[TL Note- (颜控) Yán kòng means Fans of a high scoring face; to give someone’s face a score, for example, 高颜值 is beautiful]
To a certain extent, celebrity street photography is equivalent to a trend guide in the fashion industry. Now young netizens like to watch these and follow the trend to buy the same style of celebrities.
As a popular star, Gu Li had a natural ability to pull off these shoots and in her past life, as she would often fly around, making airport street shoots twice a day once in a while was very normal for her.
“How about this? Isn’t it beautiful?”
Before going to the airport, Gu Li, Ming Yinglei and her assistant visited the studio to decide the airport attire for Gu Li, a whole row of floor-to-ceiling hangers were covered with clothes sponsored by major brands.
What the stylist chose for Gu Li was a white dress with a one-neck collar, and its length was below the thigh.
Although the dress would go well with Gu Li’s looks and figure and will definitely have a sultry feeling, it is not appropriate for a airport shoot.
Clothes should be worn according to the occasion (situation), and time. Gu Li directly rejected it.
Comfort should be the main focus while taking a flight. How could a strapless dress be comfortable? Though Fans bring their filters, other netizens are not stupid or blind. 2[TL Note- (粉丝自带滤镜) Fěnsī zì dài lǜ jìng or Fans filter means – When fans regard their favorite artists and idols, they often bring their own soft lights and special effects, which will automatically filter out their shortcomings or faults.

Gu Li stood up from the couch she was sitting on and walked towards the clothes rack, and chose a fruit green color T-shirt, paired with black hot pants and then pointed towards the white shoes, she gently smiled and said, “This is the trend of comfort and fashion.”
Afterward, She chose a pair of sunglasses that matched her face. She decided to let her long curly hair open which casually dangled, giving her the feel of lazy youthful taste.
She acted like the pure white civet cat in the summer, walking an air-conditioned room, stepping gracefully against the glass and yelling at the master, of course, the cat’s appearance looked very noble.
After changing, Gu Li looked quite different than what she looked like a few minutes ago, seeing this Xiaoyu admired her for a moment, then with some uncertainty, she said, “ You look so pretty, but this….this style is far from your usual style. ”
In the past, the original owner liked to carry the sweet and sexy style, although the style now chosen by Gu Li looks much better than the previous one, the personal style has completely changed, this was a neat and generous taste of youth.
Gu Li didn’t care, in her past, she used to change her style every few months, as she believed that no celebrity should carry one style for an extended period of time, as it tends to make netizens feel that certain celebrities look good in only that particular style they carry every time.
“I wanted to change my style and will be doing the same in the future. There are already too many sweet and sexy female celebrities in the circle. If I need to stand out I have to choose a different approach so that fans don’t get bored.”
If it weren’t for Gu Li’s outstanding appearance and great sense in fashion, she wouldn’t have become a popular star in her last life, just by relying on her beauty.
Xiaoyu looked at Meng Yinglei, indicating that it was his call to make a decision. The styling is determined by the stylist, it’s not that it couldn’t be changed, but the image change this time would be too sudden, she was afraid that Gu Li’s fans will not be able to adapt it.
Noticing the change in Gu Li’s behaviour, Meng Yinglei had a feeling that something was wrong. As from the past few days her hobbies and personality had changed, but decided not to give it much thought as young girls are always fickle. For example, his sister liked this male star today, then a few days later, she started to fawn over another one and even code-named those celebrities, which always gave him a headache.
Just like, last month his sister asked him to give her a limited-edition handbag, after finally receiving the order, she said that she didn’t want it anymore and used it only twice before not touching it ever again.
So, in his view, he didn’t think too much about Gu Li’s changes. After all, when it comes to women, fickleness is their true nature.
But today, for the first time he carefully looked at Gu Li, feeling that something was different, like there was something in her that he hadn’t seen in her before. He saw that Gu Li’s legs were very beautiful and slender, they looked like they were toned by a chisel without a trace of fat.
Her skin was very white. This whiteness was not pale or white, but translucent white, with a tint of peach-like pink in it, she had red lips, white teeth, and bright eyes.
Her skin has no blemishes, spots, or acne, even the pores she had were small, almost invisible.
The new curly hairstyle gave out a different kind of charm. The fruity green T-Shirt lined her with youthfulness. This is what a girl in her early twenties should be with a peach-like fragrance, and fresh pleasant lime feeling.
Meng Yinglei looked at Gu Li, and got a little lost in her eyes, but quickly recovered.
“It’s pretty good-looking, so let’s go with this look.”
After objectively evaluating from a male perspective, he felt that the attire looked good, but if one had asked if the person is beautiful or the dress, it can only be said that each has its own beauty, one is a delicate beauty with a sense of distance, while the other one is the more intimate youthful beauty.
Can’t both look good?
On the surface the clothes Gu Li was wearing looked like an ordinary one, but in reality the T-shirt is from the C letter brand, which had more than 1,000 pieces, the pants she is wearing is also from a famous fashion brand, costing 9800¥ (Yuan), white shoes 2600¥(Yuan), shoulder bag 6800¥(Yuan), sunglasses 2000¥(Yuan).
It’s normal for stars to be good-looking, but Gu Li’s beauty was on another level and was piled up with the money from head-toe.
…
After getting done with Gu Li, all of them also changed their clothes and went to the airport. Due to the rush of time, they didn’t make any more stops on the way to the the airport.
They quickly took some photos of Gu Li, took their boarding passes, and went to the security check.
After boarding the plane, Xiaoyu used the company’s Weibo account to post Gu Li’s freshly released airport photo.
This time, the caption was something like this, “ Good to go, Green goes well with summer, Sydney, see you in Beijing (Love).3” [TL Note- (雪梨们) Xuělímen or Sydney means snow pear, a way to address her fans]
The company usually published Gu Li’s work plan and Reuters posted all kinds of public events and photos of her. Most of Gu Li’s die-heart fans pay attention to that account.
Therefore, after the post was released, she soon received a reply from Rock Sugar Sydney.4[TL Note- Rock Sugar Sydney means a name for her fans.
P.S – that’s what I was able to understand.]
[Li Li’s new look is really super beautiful, and her leg looks so perfect.]
[Gu Li’s look has changed, and even her dressing style too. I feel that this style is very suitable for Gu Li. It has a small and fresh feeling, the same as a university flower.]
[I’m feeling very bad saying that our school does not have such beautiful school flowers.]
[School flowers are fireworks in the world, and Gu Li is an unattainable fairy]
[I love this outfit a lot, this kind of ordinary collocation is very every day, but it looks particularly good on her.]
[Every day? Are you afraid of a misunderstanding of daily life, first please find out how much does her clothes on her body costs before talking.]
[Li Li’s legs look so amazing, Straight, and long. With a one-foot-seven waist, men will have nosebleeds when they see it.]
[I am male, not only does my nose bleed but I’m…., I hope you understand]
[Li Li is really becoming more and more beautiful. Has the company changed her stylist?]
[Good hairstyle, Awesome style, and great body!]
[Do you know what brand of sunglasses are?]
[No need to find it, the clothes on her body are all branded and not at all affordable for ordinary people]
[Is Li Li coming to Beijing?]
[Welcome to Beijing!]
[Wait for me, Li Li I’m coming!]
After posting on Weibo, Xiaoyu turned off the mobile phone. Fans responded, but there was no time to pay attention to hot online discussions.
The plane took off soon, and Gu Li decided to rest and put the headrest she had brought, cover herself with the blanket and went to sleep.
She had slept very late last night and got up early. She was seriously lacking her beauty sleep. It was okay when she got up in the morning. But after running for a day, her body felt sore all over.
She didn’t ask the flight attendant for the meal and slept until the plane landed.
