Chapter 154 The Fourth Shooting

Because of Bai Shengyun's hand injury, the fourth confrontation shooting was two days later than originally planned.

Fortunately, the theme this time is just as Jiang Yanyu had revealed, shooting a commercial for La Pluie in the studio, and the films of the top three models in the competition can be published on the inside pages of MODE magazine as promotional films for La Pluie.

The result of the last audience vote was that Luo Qinglin's team won. The result was stable and not unexpected. In the end, they accumulated 35 points, which was 15 points higher than Bai Shengyun's team.

In order to avoid any further trouble this time, the program team decided to let the audience vote to prevent Bai Shengyun from having any conflicts with the editor-in-chief and quarreling on the spot.

On the day of the official shooting, the barrage was bustling and full of CP fans who were eager to be fed.

[Where are the new brother and sister-in-law?] 】

[I’ve watched the new “We” special so many times.] 】

[Need a fresh brother and sister-in-law to satisfy your craving!] 】

[Hahahaha, Bai Shengyun's team is doomed to lose. They are 15 points behind sister-in-law. They can't catch up~]

[It's a pity for Qin Xiaoxi. Even though she ranks first in the ratings every time, she can't drag an aircraft carrier. 】

Occasionally, a few Meng Nan fans would come out to ask the CP fans to be quiet and stop flooding the screen with messages blocking people's view, but they were overwhelmed by the silent barrage of screams.

When the mentor appeared, the barrage froze for a moment, and then grew explosively.

Luo Qinglin was dressed differently today, wearing a pink campus-style windbreaker. The fabric looked thick and soft, and he wore a small floral bow tie on his shirt, making him look like a freshman college student.

After November, the weather gets colder.

Jiang Yanyu was worried, so she dressed Luo Qinglin herself at home and wrapped him tightly before letting him go out.

[I envy my brother for having a beautiful wife every day 555]

[How can someone be so cute in pink [holding face.jpg]]

[Sister-in-law, please be Mama’s son. Mama loves you. You are so good 555]

[Dream male fans might as well change to male mom fans. My sister-in-law is so cute, how dare you imagine dirty things? 】

[Who asked the director to make Linlin wear glasses and school uniform last time? When it comes to being perverted, who can be more perverted than CP fans? 】

Why don't you wear glasses this time! I want to see my sister-in-law wearing glasses! 】

After going through the routine process, the two teams separated and went to two studios and the live broadcast room to officially start shooting.

Because of his hand injury, Bai Shengyun used a tripod to shoot and sat in front of the display screen, like an old man, giving instructions with his mouth.

Jiang Yanyu sat on the other side, also wearing sunglasses in the studio. From time to time, he took the black tea handed to him by the staff and took a sip, just like a vacationer.

Different from the previous shoots under extreme circumstances, where they were in the sky and in the sea, this time they were shot only in the studio. There were no unknown factors to interfere with them. Bai Shengyun felt like a fish in water, and the atmosphere inside was rarely better.

[Fuck, Bai seems to have pretty good business skills. I thought he was just a talker. 】

[He has shot covers for several major and minor magazines, and seems to be quite famous in the industry. He also shot a set of photos for me. 】

[I heard that someone with the surname Bai would complain that the editor-in-chief’s aesthetic taste was rubbish and have a big argument with him, hahaha. 】

[Then isn’t my sister-in-law’s team in danger this time? 】

[Impossible, my sister-in-law will never lose. Except for Qin Xiaoxi, the rest of this team are too bad. 】

Luo Qinglin was indeed having a hard time. This was only his second time shooting a commercial in the studio, and the last time he shot a double cover for Qu Man and Qin Xiaoxi.

In my imagination, Luo Qinglin would be able to skillfully guide several team members and complete the task easily.

But when they really started shooting with the equipment, without the added bonus of storytelling and planning, all the theoretical ideas prepared by Luo Qinglin could not be perfectly expressed, and there was always something missing.

After taking pictures of Chu Shiyi for several minutes, Luo Qinglin still felt something was wrong. In the photo, La Pluie's necklace and the model had a strong sense of disconnection, stealing the limelight from each other and failing to blend into one.

"JL!"

Luo Qinglin waved to JL who was resting outside the camera, motioning her to come over.

"What's wrong?"

"Let me try taking a few pictures first. I don't feel something is right now." Luo Qinglin said in English.

"Okay." JL nodded, picked out an emerald and diamond necklace at random, put it on around his neck, walked to the shadowless wall and immediately started taking test photos.

Luo Qinglin thought JL would stretch his body lavishly, or express emotions with sharp eyes like in most blockbusters.

But JL did nothing but keep looking for angles, making small changes, and constantly asking Luo Qinglin what effect the necklace would have in the camera. He took the initiative to give the limelight to the diamond necklace, while he only played a supporting role.

After taking a few simple test shots, Luo Qinglin looked through the finished photos on the display.

There is no sense of disconnection in these pictures of JL. The model’s appearance is still perfect, but she has become the green leaves that set off the necklace, highlighting the dazzling parts of the necklace and focusing people’s attention on the diamond.

So this is how advertising campaigns should be shot?

Is it similar to what he does when shooting commercials? But it is completely different from the reference books he reads?

Then wouldn’t his first blockbuster film for La Pluie be a weird hodgepodge?

Luo Qinglin recalled the double cover he took.

It was a pity that he had gone to so much trouble to plan, make up stories, and spend money on dates to find inspiration, but what he came up with was a mess!

Why didn't Jiang Yanyu remind him at that time?

Also, during those internships at Yue Xiang, why wasn’t he arranged to try out shooting commercials?

Luo Qinglin was immersed in his memories, holding the equipment and daydreaming, and almost forgot that he was still in the competition until JL called his name.

"Lin, are you okay?" JL asked with concern.

"It's okay." Luo Qinglin came back to his senses, took a long breath, and continued filming.

Luo Qinglin changed the shooting order. After all, Chu Shiyi was the top 1 in his team. He wanted to finish shooting her in advance while she was in good condition, but Luo Qinglin couldn't take the risk now. He could only let Olivia go on stage first to try her hand.

Luo Qinglin knew that this was unfair, so he discussed it personally with each team member. After getting their consent, they re-arranged their order and then went on stage in reverse order of their last ranking.

Olivia is the freest. When in front of the camera, she becomes herself, not following instructions and expressing herself freely.

By the time Shan Qiu came, JL also came to help guide the models, and Luo Qinglin finally found some feeling and things gradually went smoothly.

The filming went more and more smoothly. Although Luo Qinglin's face was not very good, the success rate was greatly improved. When Chu Shiyi came on stage to shoot, Luo Qinglin's uneasiness was relieved.

"Teacher Luo, don't be nervous." Chu Shiyi smiled faintly, raised his eyebrows, walked in front of the camera, and was at ease.

In front of the camera, Chu Shiyi took off the necklace directly, wrapped it around her wrist, lay lazily on the ground, hung the necklace in the air, and played with it to appreciate it.

"Chu Shiyi..." Luo Qinglin wanted to remind her not to "fight for the limelight" with the products.

Chu Shiyi smiled calmly, glanced at him and said, "Teacher Luo, believe me, one of the five photos must be extraordinary. They can't all be normal."

Luo Qinglin was stunned for a moment, his inner uneasiness surged again, his face became worse, and he finally agreed: "Okay, you do it according to your own ideas."

By the fourth episode of the live broadcast, the audience did not flock to Bai Shengyun in large numbers like they did in the early stages. After all, if you watch too much cursing, you will get tired of it.

After the last disco shooting, most of the audience watched Qin Xiaoxi's shooting over there, and then quickly switched to Luo Qinglin's side.

[Family members, do you think my sister-in-law looks bad? 】

【+1, sister-in-law, are you feeling unwell? 】

[Summon my brother!] My sister-in-law is not feeling well! 】

[My sister-in-law seemed very dissatisfied with the finished film. She even tried taking several more shots. 】

[Sister-in-law won’t lose this time, right?] The model opposite seemed to be scolded by the man surnamed Bai. 】

【fart! @姜烟渚@姜烟渚 Your wife is not feeling well, come and see what’s going on! 】

The anxiety continued until the end of the filming. Chu Shiyi had just finished filming when the six-hour countdown arrived.

After the live broadcast was temporarily interrupted, Luo Qinglin put away the equipment, walked to the seat with a pale face, and sat down on the chair weakly.

"Brother Qinglin."

"Brother Qinglin!"

Gu Nanan shouted in Luo Qinglin's ear several times but got no response. He only got a glance when he shouted the fifth time.

Luo Qinglin slowly moved his gaze over and asked weakly, "What do you want from me?"

It was rare to see Luo Qinglin look listless, Gu Nanan was a little shocked, "Brother Qinglin, are you okay? Drink some water quickly, you haven't had any water for six hours."

After Gu Nanan's reminder, Luo Qinglin finally realized what was happening. He took the water, took a big gulp, and handed the water back without saying a word.

"Brother Qinglin, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" Gu Nanan squatted down, held his face with both hands, and moved in front of Luo Qinglin, as obedient as a domestic puppy.

"I..." Luo Qinglin opened his mouth slightly, wanting to speak but unable to, and forced a smile, "I'm fine, you go and do your own thing."

"But my job is to keep an eye on your condition! Brother Jiang told me that if you are not feeling well or are unhappy, I must come and cheer you up and report to him immediately."

Gu Nanan's eyes were obedient and droopy, with bright pupils. Now squatting, he looked more like a lovable little puppy.

Luo Qinglin sighed deeply, lowered his eyes and replied: "I didn't take the photo well just now, I think I will lose this time."

"What's wrong with the photo? I think it's good. Every model is beautiful. They will win this time too!"

Gu Nanan's comfort was of no use at all. It was not the right comfort at all. Luo Qinglin sighed again, turned his head and stared at the ground in a daze.

Gu Nanan said a few more words of comfort, but to no avail, so when Shen Yin came over with the cake, Gu Nanan turned his head away out of fear, and did not leave nor dare to look at him.

"Brother Qinglin, I bought some clafoutis cake. You didn't have lunch today, so have some cake first."

Luo Qinglin took the spoon, gently scooped a corner of the cake and put it into his mouth.

Butter and sugar are good medicines to relieve emotions. Luo Qinglin took a bite and all the disappointment in his heart was vented out and fell on his face.

"Thank you." Luo Qinglin thanked him belatedly.

The three of them were huddled in the rest area, one squatting, one sitting, and one standing. The other staff members gradually left the scene and followed the model back to the villa to continue the live broadcast.

Qi Lin walked over, sensed the low-pressure atmosphere, walked up to Gu Nanan and winked at him.

Gu Nanan shook his head slightly and made a quiet gesture, indicating her not to speak.

After a moment of silence, when Luo Qinglin slowly finished eating half of the cake, Shen Yin asked, "Brother Qinglin, are you worried about the outcome of this shoot?"

"Well," Luo Qinglin forced a smile, "I shouldn't have shot it like that just now. I made a mistake."

"What's wrong?" Shen Yin asked with concern, "I saw that you were fine before, why did your face change when it came to Chu Shiyi? The way she took pictures doesn't meet the requirements of a commercial. Are you regretting allowing her to take pictures like that?"

Luo Qinglin raised his head, surprised at Shen Yin's careful observation.

"no......"

"Luo Qinglin!"

Luo Qinglin was about to explain, but his attention was interrupted when he heard Jiang Yanyu's voice. He immediately stood up and looked towards the source of the sound.

Jiang Yanyu's face didn't look very good either, his brows were furrowed, as if he was worried and unhappy.

Jiang Yanyu walked through the crowd of workers leaving the site, nodded perfunctorily as a response to their farewell, and walked closer with quick steps.

"Where do you feel uncomfortable?" Jiang Yanyu walked in front of Luo Qinglin and put his palm on his forehead without saying a word to check whether the temperature exceeded the limit.

The palm of her hand felt warm, even cold, so Jiang Yanyu touched his face and the side of his neck wrapped in his collar to test the temperature.

"Luckily you don't have a fever," Jiang Yanyu asked Gu Nan'an to come over and turned on the flashlight on his phone. "Be good, open your mouth. I'll check if your tonsils are inflamed."

As she said that, Jiang Yanyu was about to open his lips.

Fortunately, Luo Qinglin interrupted in time and shook his head, "I'm not feeling unwell, I'm just in a bad mood."

"Are you in a bad mood? What's the matter?" Jiang Yanyu ignored the presence of others and directly hugged Luo Qinglin into his arms, touching his hair to comfort him.

Because of his height, Luo Qinglin's eyes were exposed outside Jiang Yanyu's shoulder, just enough for him to see the teasing looks from the people around him.

Looking down, I saw Gu Nanan still squatting on the ground, his eyes starry as if he was watching a show, with a suspiciously sweet smile on his lips.

Looking in the direction of Qi Lin again, Qi Lin pursed his lips and tried to hold back his smile, his eyes drifting in other directions, turning back from time to time to look at Luo Qinglin once, then holding back his smile and moving away again.

How could he be so indecent in front of his assistant?

Luo Qinglin struggled slightly but couldn't get free. He whispered in Jiang Yanyu's ear, "Let me go first, everyone is looking at us!"

"Just look, what's the big deal?" Jiang Yanyu tightened his arms and hugged you tighter, "Why are you in a bad mood? If you don't tell me, I won't let go."

Jiang Yanyu didn't shy away from it at all and kept talking in the same voice. Luo Qinglin clearly saw that Gu Nanan was looking like he was supporting the couple, with the corners of his mouth raised so high that they couldn't droop down.

Shame and embarrassment came over me and my scalp started tingling.

Luo Qinglin quickly warned in a low voice, "I'm unhappy about the filming. Let me go first, and let's go home first!"

"Tell me immediately when you get back?"

"certainly."

Jiang Yanyu then let go of his hand and untied the restraints. Luo Qinglin said a few words casually, said goodbye to the few people, asked them to be careful when returning to the hotel, then lowered his head and pulled Jiang Yanyu out of the shed quickly.

Luo Qinglin walked in a hurry and didn't notice that the half-eaten cake was being pierced by Shen Yin with a spoon, leaving countless holes in it before being put back into the box.

The elevator was also full of staff. When they saw the two of them, they all greeted them with ambiguous smiles. Once they got in the car, the glass windows blocked out their teasing gazes.

The interior of the car is different from when we set out in the morning. There were bars and small black curtains on the top of the windows, the curtains were wide open and the fabric didn't let any light in.

"Were these curtains installed in the afternoon?" Luo Qinglin was attracted by the curtains.

Jiang Yanyu snorted and replied, "Don't you dislike the lights at night? You leaned on my shoulder to avoid the light, and you didn't want to ride in another car, so I had to install curtains. What a hassle."

At this moment, Luo Qinglin really felt like a troublemaker, with his emotions always up and down, and he had to rely on Jiang Yanyu to take care of him and coax him.

It was just dusk now. After November, the sun became stingy and was unwilling to shine even a ray of light through the clouds.

The white light of dusk shone in and the car started.

Luo Qinglin did not close the curtains. Instead, he turned around and hugged Jiang Yanyu tightly, burying his head in his neck.

Jiang Yanyu was stunned for a moment, then put his hand on Luo Qinglin's back and coaxed him, "Are you unhappy that I called you a troublemaker? Then how about calling you a cute ghost instead?"

"It's not because of you," Luo Qinglin took the initiative to explain, "I messed up today and felt that our team was going to lose this time, so I was unhappy."

"Good boy, why do you feel like you messed up?" Jiang Yanyu asked in a gentle voice.

"I misunderstood. I thought this shoot was to highlight La Pluie's necklace. When Chu Shiyi came on stage, I realized that this was a competition. It was not the judges who judged, but the audience who voted. It should not be shot as a conventional advertisement."

Jiang Yanyu thought it was a big deal, but it turned out that he was just worrying about nothing. "Bb, this is just a photo shoot, there's no need to think so much. If we lose, we lose. It's not a big deal."

Luo Qinglin was unhappy to hear this and whispered back, "How is it not a big deal? Our team lost because of me, what should the team members do?"

"How many times have I told you not to take all the blame on yourself, but you wouldn't listen. Even if your team lost, it was because the model didn't perform well. What does it have to do with you?" Jiang Yanyu deliberately sighed.

"I made the decision. I directed them to shoot like this. How come it has nothing to do with me?"

Jiang Yanyu sighed softly and symbolically slapped the peach lightly.

"Luo Qinglin, you should put less things in your head and stop thinking about it every day. The voting hasn't even started yet and you already think you're going to lose. You're worrying about nothing."

Luo Qinglin whispered, "Then can't I compare myself? The double cover I took last time was clearly a mess, and you didn't even remind me. I thought I took a good one."

Canary had been carefully trying to correct his bad habit of blaming himself and feeling inferior for several months, but it still didn't work and the habit would recur intermittently.

Jiang Yanyu sighed, his tone helpless, "I am very satisfied, the release effect is also good, I don't think it is weird at all, why do you say you shot it badly?"

"You have a filter for me, and you think everything I take looks good," Luo Qinglin muttered softly, "I shouldn't have been angry with Bai Shengyun at that time. I should have asked him to supervise and give me suggestions."

"Yes, yes, yes," Jiang Yanyu said dissatisfiedly, "Of course white artists have better taste than a stinky capitalist like me, have better market vision than me, and understand what consumers like better than me."

Jiang Yanyu started to speak sarcastically, and Luo Qinglin knew that he had just said the wrong thing.

Luo Qinglin was not a person who would stick to his words, so he immediately apologized in a soft voice, "I'm sorry, brother, I just said the wrong thing, I was just talking nonsense."

"Hey, it's all my fault. If I hadn't interfered personally and let Bai Shengyun guide you in shooting that cover, you wouldn't be in a bad mood today." Jiang Yanyu imitated Luo Qinglin's self-blaming tone and deliberately talked nonsense.

"Hey, it's all my fault."

"If I hadn't asked Bai Shengyun to shoot 'Reverse Supermodel', you wouldn't be so discouraged now."

......

Jiang Yanyu spoke in a sarcastic tone, and as he spoke, he lowered his eyes and stole a glance at the expression on Luo Qinglin's face.

After countless sarcastic remarks, Luo Qinglin finally couldn't help interrupting and took the initiative to admit his mistake, "Okay, I was wrong! I shouldn't have worried about nothing."

"What else?"

"I shouldn't put all the blame on myself, be cranky and lose my temper."

"What if you do it again in the future?" Jiang Yanyu refused to give in.

Luo Qinglin coughed lightly, put his palm over the peach, and said tentatively: "Then I will be punished?"

Jiang Yanyu couldn't help but chuckle, and seemed to find it too funny, so he continued to laugh out loud. The slightly warm air flow hit Luo Qinglin's ears, causing a slight itch.

"What are you laughing at?" Luo Qinglin leaned his head out and asked doubtfully.

"Luo Qinglin," Jiang Yanyu said with a smile, "Is this a punishment for you? I think it's more like a reward, you scheming bastard."

"This is not a reward..." Luo Qinglin avoided her gaze and denied it awkwardly.

After this commotion, Luo Qinglin's depressed mood improved significantly, and his eyes became bright and lively.

After Luo Qinglin was embarrassed enough, Jiang Yanyu said in a serious tone: "Even if you lose this confrontation, you are not allowed to feel bad and think about it. Do you understand?"

"I see." Luo Qinglin hesitated for a moment and slowly asked, "Brother, I have a small request."

Jiang Yanyu raised his eyebrows and signaled Luo Qinglin to speak directly.

"After 'Supermodel' is over, I want to intern at another studio for a while."

Afraid that Jiang Yanyu would disagree, Luo Qinglin softened his voice and acted coquettishly, "Brother, can I take on a job and do an internship at the same time? I feel like I'm not qualified right now, and I'm not as good as Bai Shengyun."

Although Jiang Yanyu always said that he just lacked opportunities, he was indeed no match for Bai Shengyun in terms of talent and experience. His only advantages were "good temper" and "hard work".

If he only reads reference books and materials without much practice, he will not be able to move forward and will only feel helpless and uneasy when encountering a situation.

Jiang Yanyu didn't agree directly, nor did he refuse. Instead, he asked, "Which studio do you want to intern in?"

"You can help me arrange it. I can do anything." Luo Qinglin paused, glanced at him carefully, and added, "As long as I don't go to the Moon Phase Studio anymore."

Hearing this, Jiang Yanyu couldn't help laughing again, "Didn't you just say that he has more talent and experience than you? Why doesn't he want to intern at Yue Xiang Studio again?"

"He, he is not suitable to teach me," Luo Qinglin replied, "He is suitable for working, not for teaching others."

"Okay," Jiang Yanyu smiled and pinched Luo Qinglin's face, "I'll help you arrange wherever you want to go. This time I'll definitely arrange a studio that will satisfy you."

Luo Qinglin smiled, hugged Jiang Yanyu, and pecked him on the face to say thank you, "Thank you, brother."

As the car drove home, the sky was gloomy, half black and half white.

The weather is getting cold, and the petals of the sunflowers that bloomed out of season are gradually withering, with a layer of dark khaki on the edges of the petals.

After getting off the car, the iron gate of the house was ajar. Luo Qinglin thought Bai Shengyun had returned home first and raised his voice to call his name as he walked towards the door.

No one responded, so Luo Qinglin asked doubtfully: "Did your people take Bai Shengyun home?"

"I don't know," Jiang Yanyu answered indifferently, "He was just captured by his mother, what else could go wrong?"

Luo Qinglin didn't take it seriously. He held Jiang Yanyu tightly and walked into the iron gate without any precautions.

clang! !

The sound of iron rods colliding suddenly appeared, the decibel was so high that Luo Qinglin was startled.

Bai Shengyun got an iron rod from somewhere, held it in front of him with one hand, widened his eyes, stepped barefoot on the ground, and looked at the two people warily.

"Why are you crazy? Are you possessed?" Luo Qinglin asked with a frown.

"Fuck, why are you two here?" Bai Shengyun let out a long sigh, "I thought you two were going out on a date tonight, and you'd be making love all day tomorrow on his birthday, and you wouldn't be back until the day after tomorrow."

Rather than the dirty talk, Luo Qinglin was more concerned about the wolf-tooth iron rod with steel nails in his hand. It was covered with needles. Bai Shengyun was swinging it around, which was extremely dangerous.

"Throw away this mace first, it's too dangerous!" Luo Qinglin said as he stepped back, "Where did you get this thing from?"

"Don't worry about that for now."

Bai Shengyun threw away the mace, lowered his voice, and said mysteriously: "I think our house might be haunted!"
