Because it was a reality show, Lauryn did not stop Rhianna from continuing her series of lessons. After all, to excel, one must hone their skills, and to become an outstanding entertainer, talent is indispensable.
Before the recording of the first episode, the production team interviewed several participants individually.
For the sake of keeping the show's effects a secret, Rhianna didn't even know who else would be participating. She only heard from Lauryn that two of them were amateurs.
Although it was a reality show, there was still a script, but it allowed the entertainer more freedom to improvise.
The location for Rhianna's first shoot was Central Park in New York.
Central Park's beautiful scenery in spring.
Although the filming season wasn't the most beautiful for Central Park, the production team arranged for a natural encounter.
After the makeup artist meticulously designed her look, Rhianna's already delicate features became even more enchanting. Each episode's styling was designed to convey a specific feeling to the audience, and Rhianna, who was naturally alluring and charming, unexpectedly stood out in this episode with her sweet and fresh makeup and outfit.
Looking at herself in the mirror, Rhianna suddenly remembered the past when she always dressed herself up to look particularly "pure." Because Arely was just like that, resembling a delicate white flower swaying in the wind, unlike her, who was a rose with thorns.
Nowadays, reality shows always included task cards, and unsurprisingly, Rhianna received a card from the director, which read, "Meet your intended one at Bow Bridge, Your destined soulmate's knot has already been tied."
The camera followed Rhianna as she walked and ate her way to the West Side. Since the filming took place during the off-peak tourist season, and the production team had made prior arrangements with the relevant authorities, this segment also served as a travel guide. Rhianna, who always enjoyed eating, tasted many American snacks along the way.
New York hot dogs, full of sausage flavor, one was never enough.
Apple pie, sweet but not greasy, with an aroma that filled the air, tasted best when warm.
Before filming, Lauryn had reminded her that nowadays, audiences have sharp eyes, and she must act natural and not forced in front of the camera.
Rhianna, who had heard this advice countless times, kept it in mind and restrained her inner foodie nature.
She finally arrived at Central Park. Since Rhianna wasn't very well-known yet, there weren't many onlookers. Additionally, there had been many shows filmed there before, so people were used to it.
However, the production team did a great job with the location arrangement and security, ensuring that the scene captured the heart-fluttering moment of the first meeting.
Early autumn in New York, the sky high and the air crisp.
Rhianna didn't know who her "interaction partner" would be. To make the show more natural, the production team didn't reveal any information to her, only giving her the task card hinting at Bow Bridge and the knot.
The production team wanted her to find her "destined one," probably related to the various love story involving Bow Bridge.
Rhianna wasn't in a hurry to find anyone. She cycled along the paths, feeling the gentle breeze of early autumn, which always gave a sense of spring.
However, the bike ride was only a short part of the journey. Afterward, Rhianna strolled along the lakeside, encountering various vendors with hints about her "destined one." However, to get these hints, she had to complete some challenges and puzzles, adding to the show's fun.
Rhianna finally reached Bow Bridge after passing through many challenges.
She slowly walked onto the bridge, the breeze gently blowing, her skirt swaying with the wind. She stood on the bridge and saw that person turn around.
"Hello." She heard his voice.
The man was dressed in a simple white shirt and a well-tailored navy suit, without a tie, with a
silk knot tied around his right ring finger.
A person of outstanding elegance, unparalleled in the world.
Seeing that familiar face, Rhianna's smile became even more radiant, "Hello."
The man was Javion.
Many years later, whenever Javion won a film award late at night, he would always think of that year, that girl by the edge of Central Park, on Bow Bridge, her white dress fluttering like willows in the wind, and how his heart, like a boat on the lake, could never find its destination.
