I want to take a set of beautiful photos to commemorate my eighteenth birthday.
Seeing two beautiful sisters coming in, she was the first to greet them: "Hello, my name is Qi Fei."
Meng Zhen quickly entered the service state, the corners of her mouth moved, and she smiled sweetly: "Hello, welcome to our Red Star Shining Photo Studio. Please take a look at the sample photos first. What style would you like to shoot?"
"Okay, thank you." Qi Fei took the sample photo album and looked down at it.
Boss He and Zhou Xinyue on the side were a little touched.
Studying secretly.
Think about the arrogant attitude of the waiters every time you go to a state-owned store or other place to shop.
Look at Meng Zhen again, he always smiles when he sees customers, his attitude is very warm and he speaks softly. This is the feeling of being worshipped by others when you pay money!
How can the customers not be unhappy?
Putting their knowledge into practice, the two of them took the initiative to communicate with customers.
Meng Zhen had trained Boss He before, telling him that he must communicate more with customers before shooting and fully understand their needs.
For example, if the customer wants to take more aesthetic photos, but the style you are good at is documentary style, then you have to find a way to adjust to the customer instead of shooting according to your own preferences.
Avoid acting like an artist and always thinking that customers don't understand aesthetics.
Because business is business. Since customers have spent money, we must do our best to satisfy them.
After Boss He finished communicating, Zhou Xinyue pushed over the clothes rack next to her and showed Qi Fei several sets of clothes from the sample films.
Soon, Qi Fei decided on the style of shooting she wanted.
Then Meng Zhen began to put makeup on her.
Zhou Xinyue was an apprentice on the side.
Meng Zhen opened her black suitcase and placed her makeup tools on the dressing table.
A variety of primers, foundations in different shades, lipsticks, concealers, and eyeshadow palettes with a full range of colors.
There was a long row of makeup brushes, of different lengths and with different brush heads.
There are also makeup auxiliary tools, such as rechargeable curling irons, hair spray, U-shaped clips and wigs of different styles.
These things are enough to replace someone's head.
Even though Boss He doesn't know anything about makeup, just looking at these many strange tools makes him feel that they are extremely professional.
It was also the first time that Qi Fei had seen these things. She was so curious that she kept asking Meng Zhen questions.
Meng Zhen was not annoyed: "I will explain it to you while I draw, otherwise you will get tired if the shooting takes too long."
It just so happened that Zhou Xinyue needed to study, so Meng Zhen took the opportunity to help her solve her problems.
The tools the art troupe brought this time are more complete than last time.
Zhou Xinyue watched intently, her mind racing, and she carefully memorized the functions and techniques of each tool.
Qi Fei was eighteen years old, at the time of her youthful unrestrainedness. Meng Zhen did not give her the kind of templated heavy makeup that was used in photo studios. Instead, he played to her strengths and avoided her weaknesses based on her own facial features.
The whole makeup is clear and girlish, with eyeshadow and blush both apricot pink, similar to the Japanese oxygen beauty makeup of later generations.
The makeup was almost done, and Qi Fei became familiar with them.
"Sister Meng, you made me look so beautiful!"
Meng Zhen responded with a compliment: "No, it's just that you have a good foundation, I'm just the icing on the cake."
This answer is indeed a bit greasy, but... when she took on filming before, other makeup artists also praised her in this way.
Maybe I just listened to it so many times that I learned it casually.
The environment is so terrible!
Thinking about dealing with those brand public relations in the future, I was forced to become a black lotus from a naive person.
From then on, she understood that business is business and work is work, and anyone who takes it too seriously is a fool.
Putting his thoughts aside, Meng Zhen took Qi Fei to the studio.
The samples Qi Fei selected include indoor and outdoor.
The outdoor scene is a school, and you can borrow a shooting location from a nearby middle school.
After each photo was taken, Boss He would show the result to Qi Fei.
The little girl kept smiling and nodding, looking very satisfied.
He Zhigao began to understand what Meng Zhen meant by the true meaning of understanding customer needs.
As they were filming, Meng Zhen reminded Zhou Xinyue: "Makeup artists need to be on-site at all times and pay attention to the customer's makeup and hair. If it's not right, they need to touch up the makeup in time."
The fixed template shooting process really saves time, and the indoor scene was completed in a short time.
Several people moved outside.
After a while, I found that the shooting progress was obviously not as smooth as indoors.
The reason is that Qi Fei is a little restrained when she is outdoors.
Especially when there are other people watching, her movements always become very stiff.
Meng Zhen had trained He Zhigao in this situation before.
The photographer needs to fully mobilize the customer's emotions, and even personally guide the actions when necessary.
He Zhigao imitated the movements in the sample film and demonstrated them to Qi Fei.
The sight of a grown man pretending to be a lesbian by lifting the hem of her skirt and looking back and smiling in public is indeed hilarious.
The crowd watching around burst into laughter.
Qi Fei was also very happy and was not so nervous anymore.
I feel much more relaxed when posing.
In addition, every time she did a pose, He Zhigao always gave positive feedback: "Very good! Very good!"
"Yes! That's it!"
“It’s so beautiful!”
The more praise she received, the better Qi Fei's condition became.
In the middle, Meng Zhen helped her touch up her makeup and praised her.
The shooting progress jumped immediately and was completed in an hour or two.
When leaving, many onlookers came up to ask for advice.
Meng Zhen distributed a small promotional card he had with him to each person.
"Everyone is welcome to make an appointment by phone or visit our store to schedule a photo shoot!"
Zhou Xinyue also learned from her how to do it. When she saw someone showing curiosity, she would take the initiative to step forward and expand her customer base.
A military jeep pulled over in front of the photo studio.
A man and a woman got out of the car.
The middle-aged woman had short hair, a round face, a black handbag in her hand, and was wearing short-sleeved shirt and long pants. She was obviously a female cadre from some institutional unit.
The young man was wearing a sky blue uniform. He was in his twenties, tall and handsome, and it was obvious that he was from the army.
The woman said to the man anxiously, "You finally got back from vacation, but you didn't pay more attention to your sister. What if she got scammed?"
The man put his arm around her shoulders and walked her towards the photo studio nearby, comforting her: "Mom, my little sister is already eighteen years old. She has her own judgment. If you keep worrying about her like this, she will never grow up."
"I'm not worrying about anything. You said taking a picture would only take a few minutes, but she's been out all afternoon and hasn't come home yet. Of course I have to come and see her."
…
The middle-aged woman is Qi Fei's mother Zhao Meijuan, and the young man is her brother Qi Yang.
As they talked, they stepped into the photo studio.
Meng Zhen is the receptionist at the front desk.
Looking at the man and woman coming in, he smiled with eight teeth: "Hello, how can I help you?"
She was wearing a black suspender dress, with black hair, red lips, and delicate eyebrows and eyes.
With her hair tied loosely behind her head, she looks lively and refreshing, with a hint of laziness.
When she smiles, her two dimples appear, which is so sweet that it touches people's heart.
Qi Yang looked at the girl in front of him, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his breathing seemed to slow down for a beat.
