Black Secret still doesn't know if those designs are really valuable, or if Eric himself is valuable.

That kind of special donation activity, of course, Heimichi heard about it.

In the previous Hunger Games, it didn't happen for nothing, but most of them were women, no, all women, and they were all women.

You can't ask to face death and not allow people to struggle.

But the scale of such activities is very small, and the people of the capital look down on people in other districts from the bottom of their bones.

So in the end, the funding in exchange is very small, and the key is that if you put your mind on this aspect rather than training, the end result is that you might as well train hard without these funding.

Therefore, the teams in each district will not hint at this aspect to the "tribute" in the future.

It's not a promotion, it doesn't make sense.

It's different for Eric, first of all, Eric is a man, and he has a natural advantage over previous female players.

What's more important is the talent bonus, and this talent is still the talent that women are most obsessed with, making them more beautiful and attractive.

This way it doesn't turn into a transaction, it's more like a friendly interaction of business partners......

Hearing Black Secret say this, Katniss was depressed again, people really can't be compared together.

Katniss even had a momentary impulse to use this funding method.

Not for myself, for my mother and sister, but unfortunately I am too ordinary and ordinary.

Of the group, only Effie was the most interested, and in any case, it seemed that District 12 had won.

Katniss thinks of her boyfriend Gail again, will he support whatever choice he makes?

Katniss never doubted Gail, but he had to be suspicious of Eric.

Of course, this comparison is not entirely fair. Because Gail and himself have never been thrown into an environment where they need to compete with each other to survive.

And Eric, as well as himself, both know very well that the survival of the other party means his own death.

How can this question be avoided?

Even if he scored eleven points and attracted the attention of the audience, he was far from being Eric's opponent.

The one who held my hand in the chariot at the opening ceremony, the one who covered me up in front of the redhead girl's betrayal, the one who helped my sister and family. But you can't make me fully trust?

……

The next day, the training plan changed, and Ning Yun and Katniss learned etiquette with Effie in the morning and afternoon, and interviewed with Hei Miqi, respectively.

It's time for Katnis and Effie to learn etiquette in the morning, and Katniss first changes into a floor-length dress and high heels.

This outfit is not really what you are going to wear during the interview, but it is used to practice your walking posture.

Katniss in both the long skirt and high heels were uncomfortable, and it took a long time to barely qualify.

The most annoying thing is the skirt, it always stumbles, and Katniss simply lifts the skirt up.

Effie swooped down like an eagle when she saw it. Slam Katniss on the back of her hand: "The skirt can't be higher than the ankle!" ”

Then you have to learn how to sit and stand, and it's clear that Katniss likes to keep her head down.

Learn eye contact, gestures, smiles.

A smile is mostly a matter of how to keep it.

Smile at the beginning, smile as you speak, and smile at the end.

By the time it was time to eat, the muscles in Katnis's face were still twitching.

"Alright, I've done my best." Effie said with a sigh of relief, "Remember, Katnis. You want the audience to like you. ”

"Do you think they won't like me?" Katniss asked.

"If you keep staring at them, you won't. Why don't you save that sharp gaze to the arena? Right now. You have to feel like you're with friends. ”

"They're going to bet how long I'll live!" Katniss couldn't stand being called a friend like this, "They're not my friends!" ”

"Hey, give it a try, pretend it is." Effie interrupted, then smiled calmly at Katnis, "Look. Just like that, even if you me off, I'm still smiling at you. ”

"Yes, quite sincerely. But I'm going to eat! Katniss kicked off his heels and ran to the restaurant with a thud. Lifted the skirt to the big. Leg. Root.

After lunch, in the afternoon Black Secret took Katniss to the reception room, directed her to sit on the couch, and looked at her with a frown for a few moments.

"How?" Katniss asked, a little apprehensively.

"I'm wondering what to do?" "In what posture should you be attractive in front of the public?" Arrogant? Ferocious? So far, you're a new star. You've volunteered to rescue your sister, Eric's look has made you memorable, you've got a high grade, you've piqued the interest of the audience, but no one knows who you are. I want you to make a strong impression in tomorrow's interview so that you can be sponsored. ”

Katniss had seen countless interviews with "tribute" before and knew that what Black Miche said made sense.

If a contestant can attract the audience, whether it is humorous, murderous, or quirky, he will be loved by the audience.

"What is Eric's way? Can't I ask? Katniss said.

"He's the cute type, and he's got a natural self-deprecating sense of humor," Black Miche smiled.

Katniss wasn't sure if she should agree, but Eric didn't give her the impression that way.

In his own mind, Eric's image was not clear at all.

Black Michi didn't want to comment too much on Eric: "But when you speak, it comes across as dull or hostile. ”

"I didn't." Katniss diligently denies it.

"Well, I don't know how you were so sunny and lively that day in the chariot, anyway, I haven't seen you like that before or since." Black Miche had never seen a Mary Sue movie.

"But you didn't give me much reason to be happy." Katniss retorted.

"You don't have to please me, and I won't sponsor you, just assume I'm a spectator." "Find a way to make me happy." ”

"Okay!" Katniss was reluctant.

Black Secret pretends to be a reporter, and Katniss tries to answer questions in a way that is beneficial to him.

However, when it came time to answer, there was only one thought that lingered in Katnis's mind, and it was all that. The Hunger Games, how unfair it is.

Why be like a clown who hates you?

The longer the interview dragged on, the more Katniss could not hide her anger.

"Alright, that's enough," Black Miche waved his hand, "Looks like you can't play angel." You are not only hostile. And by now, I don't know anything about you, I've asked you dozens of questions, but I'm still scratching my head about your life, your family, the things you love, and the audience wants to know about you, Katniss. ”

"But I don't want them to know about me! They have deprived me of my future, and they can't get the life that used to belong to me! ”

"Then lie! Make up some stories! "Black Michi is a little helpless.

"I'm not good at lying."

"Well, you'd better learn it quickly. Eric is a good guy, you don't know he's telling it. Black Michi shook his head. Your charisma now is not much different from that of a bug that stomps on your feet. ”

It was too hurtful to say this, and Hei Miqi also realized that he had overspoken, and his voice softened: "I have an idea, you pretend to be humble!" ”

"Humble?"

"You say, I can't believe that a kid from District 12 can behave so well. It's all far beyond your imagination. Talk about the costumes designed by Sinner and Portia, and note that it's not Eric, how nice the people are. How amazing you are with this city. If you don't want to say yourself, at least praise the audience. As long as it's not cold. All right? You just have to gush and talk! ”

The remaining hours were so painful for Katniss.

It didn't take long for Katniss to realize that she couldn't go on and on.

Black Micher tries to portray Katniss as arrogant, but Katniss is not so arrogant.

Thin and small, apparently unable to show a murderous appearance.

At the same time, Katniss is not intelligent, funny, sexy, or mysterious.

Towards the end of training, Katniss still hadn't done anything.

Black Michi had already started drinking. The words were also slightly mocking and weary: "I gave up, dear. When the time comes, just answer the questions directly, and don't let the audience see how much you hate them. ”

Katniss ate dinner in his room, and asked for a lot of food until he almost vomited.

Early the next morning. Katniss is surrounded by a team of image designers, and the classes with Black Michi and Effie are all over, and Katniss has nothing left to learn.

Now Eric has become his last hope, not the sharing of funding, and Katniss does not report that hope.

Maybe Eric designed clothes to make him look mentally beautiful, so that no one cared about what came out of my mouth.

Yesterday Sinner told Katniss that all of today's looks were from Eric and Portia's collaboration.

The makeup artist kept busy until late in the afternoon.

After applying makeup, Katnis's skin resembled shiny silk, and her arms were painted with cut-out patterns.

Hands and feet, twenty perfectly shaped nails are also painted with flame patterns.

Paint your face white with a thick foundation and then draw lines on it.

Big dark eyes, full red lips, thick long eyelashes.

Finally, the whole body is smeared with gold dust to make it sparkle with a golden glow.

Sinner walked in, holding what was supposed to be the costume in his hand, but it was covered under the cloth and Katniss couldn't see it.

"Close your eyes." Sinner said, "That's Eric's order, too. ”

Katniss obediently complied, and by this time she had nothing to lose.

Even if Eric wants to harm himself, he can only bear it.

Katniss had a voice in his heart, he wouldn't, Eric wasn't that kind of person!

As he dressed, the silky liner hung down Katnis's smooth nudeness, but then Katniss felt that the garment was heavy, and it should weigh forty pounds, and Katniss held on to the table next to her, fumbling to put on her shoes.

Katniss was pleased to find that the shoes were two inches lower than the ones she wore when she practiced with Effie.

Katniss was unsteady on his feet at first, but it took a while to adjust.

Next, there was silence.

"Can I open my eyes?"

"Yes," said Sinner, "open your eyes. ”

The man standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror must be an alien creature!

She has shiny skin, sparkling eyes, and pearlescent clothes.

Katniss shouted inwardly.

My dress, oh, my dress was studded with sparkling gems, red, yellow, white, blue, jewels set in flames.

The slightest movement of my body gives the impression of being surrounded by raging flames.

I'm not pretty, I'm not pretty, but I'm shining like the sun.

For about a minute, everyone was watching Katniss.

"Thank you, Eric!" Katniss said to herself.

"Take a turn and let's see." Sinner said.

Katniss raised her arms and spun them around.

The entire image design team cheered with great admiration.

"Let's go and try." Sinner Road.

Katniss walks around indoors in clothes and shoes, which are much easier to walk in than in Effie's.

The skirt droops naturally, so you don't have to carry it when you walk, which makes Katniss much more comfortable.

"Where is he?" Katniss asked, standing in front of a floor-to-ceiling mirror.

Without waiting for Sinner's answer, Ning Yun and Bothea walked in.

Katniss looked excitedly at Eric with a relieved smile on his face, dressed in a black suit with a flame pattern, which was also set with red gemstones.

Shiny, concise, elegant, and beautiful.

Without having to stand together, Katniss knew how harmonious he and Eric were.

Katniss struggled to resist the urge to throw herself into Eric's arms, and in a high-pitched voice, "Thank you, Eric!" ”

In fact, it's more to Posia that she really knows what the people of the capital like.

Inspired by the excellent costumes of another world, Bothea was given a lot of inspiration to design such clothes that were in line with the appreciation of the people of the capital and were not vulgar.

But humility is not a virtue.

"So, everything is ready for the talk show?" Ning Yun asked with a smile.

"It's terrible, the worm that Black Michi told me to trample on my feet, no matter how hard I tried. I can't do it, I can't be the kind of person he asks me to be. "Katniss has never been more candid than ever.

"Then why not be yourself." Ning Yun looked at Katniss encouragingly.

"Myself? That's not good. Black Secret says I'm too serious and hostile. ”

"I don't think you're like that, a lot of people like you, maybe when you don't know, including Black Secrets, including Effie. The people on the image design team also like you. You've even earned the judges' approval. As for the people of the capital, if you pay attention to the show, you will know that they are all talking about you, and everyone admires your spirit. Not everyone, no, only a very small number of people, have the courage to sacrifice for their families...... Make choices like you do. ”

My spirit, Katniss wasn't sure what that meant, but it was like saying that he was a fighter and brave.

I don't think I mean to be unfriendly, do you?

Well, maybe I can't give love to everyone I meet, maybe I don't smile much, but I do care about some people.

Katniss placed her cold hand in Eric's warm hand.

PS: Jennifer Lawrence sells herself for funding routes, and blackens the protagonist routes, which are embarrassing to use.

So, it's great love.
