Chapter 40 040 Transitional Group Joining Plan
Chapter Forty
If it were pure blonde, it would give Lin Yuan a strong sense of brightness under the sunlight, but if it were light blonde, it would inexplicably make people feel melancholy.
Lin Yuan's personal temperament is not clearly displayed in this set of photos, but it fits the background of the photos very well.
Under the bright sunshine, there is an abandoned railway and a bewildered young man.
Not far from him stood a figure in a sharp suit—the moment Li Mobei appeared, almost everyone thought this was a modern version of "Thousand Mountains".
In fact, Li Mobei and Lin Yuan look completely different in the same photo.
Gu Yilou is melancholic but not insane.
A corporate slave version of Qin Zhong.
The impression given was that Qin Chong was about to take Gu Yilou away from the edge of the city.
"So handsome, so handsome, so handsome..."
Sang Zi's mind was frantically repeating the words "so handsome". In her memory, Lin Yuan had always been a black-haired figure. With his light blond hair, he had a completely different temperament. Lin Yuan's indifferent glance was not empty, but rather had a sense of world-weariness, like a cat that had escaped from the city.
Sangzi couldn't help but recall the art films she had once watched—in those art films there was always a young man who, on the edge of the coastline, in an old mine, on a dilapidated second floor, or in the shadow of skyscrapers, looked up at the world with a bewildered expression.
If anyone else had filmed this scene, they probably wouldn't have been able to capture Lin Yuan's melancholy at that moment.
In this set of shots, he and Li Mobei have no similar temperament whatsoever, but from Sangzi's perspective, they are surprisingly harmonious.
Next set of photos—
Sangzi's eyes lit up.
It's a Reuters photo with a furry collar, very white fur wrapped around the neckline. If she wore it, her neck would probably be invisible, but it fits Lin Yuan perfectly.
This person has a very long and slender neck, which, when covered in fur, only makes his face appear smaller.
This group has a different style from the previous one—against a snow-white background, Lin Yuan squinted his eyes and revealed the warmest smile.
He didn't laugh heartily, but rather smiled somewhat conservatively, which revealed his shallow dimples. Lin Yuan was someone who had a very bright smile, and even his slight smile was enough to make people feel warm in this context.
This is a very everyday scene.
He and Li Mobei huddled together by the fire for warmth, or he would glance at each other defiantly—if Sang Zi hadn't seen the previous set of photos, she would hardly have believed that the two sets of photos were of the same person.
Sang Zi couldn't help but wonder if these photos were meant to convey that Gu Yilou, who had been taken away by Qin Zhong, was doing very well.
The brand may not think that way, but Sangzi insists on thinking that way.
"Can't Lin Yuan take a few more sets of photos? Just for me."
"The storytelling is so strong. When you enter a new scene, you're introduced to a completely new character."
"If you want the same outfit as Lin Yuan in the first set of pictures, then you don't need the second set, because you can't pull it off. But what's amazing is that even though it's GVM's outlandish clothes, Lin Yuan manages to style them very fashionably."
In the first set of pictures, Lin Yuan is only wearing a light gray T-shirt. It's unclear what he did, but the T-shirt is stained with engine oil. The only clean part of his body is his hair. Above the engine oil stain on the T-shirt is a row of silver necklaces of various shapes. It looks complicated, but it doesn't look superfluous on him at all.
Below the T-shirt were ripped pants with silver chains of varying thicknesses along the edges.
“GVM releases some ugly clothes every year, and Lin Yuan’s outfit is actually quite ugly, but he just manages to make it look good.”
Sang Zi felt that rather than saying Lin Yuan had great fashion sense, it was more accurate to say that the sense of story surrounding Lin Yuan overshadowed the strangeness of his clothes.
He is the one who controls the clothes, not the other way around.
Sometimes, the so-called "lack of fashion sense" is simply that people can't pull off the clothes.
When will the magazine be published? I want to buy a copy!
+1.
"By the way, I saw two people in this set of photos. Before, when I saw these kinds of photos of two people, I would only be attracted to one of them."
Sangzi couldn't help but save a lot of photos.
In short, Lin Yuan really suits the new look!!
Now that the behind-the-scenes footage has been released, the magazine should be out soon, barring any unforeseen circumstances.
This is where the advantage of Lin Yuan having a studio becomes apparent—she doesn't have to painstakingly search for resources in real time; the studio will provide reminders.
A few days later, Sangzi indeed received news that the magazine had been released.
Sangzi was sharpening his knives, ready to pounce, but as soon as he found the magazine's name, he discovered people in the live chat were actually predicting its failure.
"Is this issue of Lin Yuan's magazine not selling well?"
"Viewers might buy a few copies because of Li Mobei, but who would buy them because of Lin Yuan? He's not a big star."
"I completely don't understand why GVM would abandon Xie Yu and contact Lin Yuan instead. Even though Xie Yu's movie flopped, at least he has fans who are willing to buy his movies. Can someone like Lin Yuan really help GVM sell their products?"
Sang Zi: "..."
Yes, yes, yes, fans are willing to pay for the magazine, so why don't they pay more for the box office of "The Immortal"?
Does she really think she hasn't seen the fashion shoot Xie Yu did for GVM?
She had absolutely no desire to buy those photos, okay?
Fans' love for celebrities may be subjective, but their ability to distinguish between beauty and ugliness must be objective!
In short, she will definitely buy the magazine!!
Sang Zi doesn't consider herself a die-hard fan of Lin Yuan. She only plans to buy one copy of the magazine for her collection—even if the magazine's sales are as bad as those people expect, Sang Zi is willing to buy it because, in her aesthetic sense, Lin Yuan's photos are absolutely beautiful.
One set resembles the scorching summer sun, while the other is like a warm winter afternoon.
The artistic conception is beautiful.
Having probably read those comments online, Sangzi subconsciously began to doubt whether the magazine would sell out. She had originally planned to buy it at a set time, but when the alarm went off, she clicked on the page, only half a minute late.
Sangzi was absolutely certain that it really was only half a minute, 30 seconds.
After clicking on it, her phone screen kept spinning, and at that moment, Sangzi had a bad feeling.
She quickly exited, intending to try again, but at this moment, only three words remained on the page—
Sold out.
Sang Zi: "?"
Isn't that wrong? Didn't they say no one was buying it?
Sang Zi didn't completely believe the online comments, but... after Lin Yuan's studio released those photos, there weren't as many people leaving comments as she had expected.
In my memory, the magazines of top celebrities that sell out incredibly fast get hundreds of thousands of likes and shares as soon as behind-the-scenes photos are released. Only under these circumstances can a magazine sell so quickly, right?
Lin Yuan is...
Sangzi refused to believe it and clicked in again.
The words "Sold Out" were still large, as if mocking her foolishness.
Sang Zi: "..."
Who exactly struck first?
At this point, Sangzi clicked into Lin Yuan's studio account and found that there were already people posting pictures of their purchases in the comments section.
"This is an absolute must-see, such a stunning set of photos!!"
"Hilarious! Even though I'm not a fan of Lin Yuan, I still bought a copy of the magazine to use as a reference for my model. These photos are just too good."
"This fan of 'Thousand Mountains' has arrived in style. Although I don't ship any couples, the photos are so amazing that I have to buy them."
Sang Zi: "..."
They're not fans anymore, why should they buy anything? Let her have the chance!
Goodbye, you cold-hearted people, she will never forgive you.
It was half a month later when Sangzi finally managed to buy the magazine. The previous batch was probably not enough printed by the magazine publisher, and she finally managed to buy the new batch.
Then Sangzi discovered that after she bought them, there were still people complaining that they hadn't managed to snag one.
A strange sense of satisfaction welled up inside her.
This also made Sang Zi more cautious in her future life—anything related to Lin Yuan, whether it was a magazine or a concert ticket, she had to frantically try to get it, putting in 100% of her energy, although that didn't mean she could get it smoothly.
...
Lin Yuan's studio was set up very quickly, with Feng Zeng handling all the materials, because Lin Yuan was about to join a film crew to shoot a TV series.
This drama was in his plans long ago; it was a script that Lin Yuan himself chose. Therefore, no matter what opinions Feng Zeng had, he would stick to his own ideas.
“I know about this drama.” The agent was not surprised. “The script was sent to DA Entertainment, but no one there was willing to take it.”
After all, it's a historical drama with a long filming period and a wide range of roles, so the actors from DA Entertainment can't afford to waste their time.
Moreover, this kind of drama is too formal and doesn't attract as many fans as historical romance dramas.
Feng Zeng's current job is simple—to communicate with partners and select suitable activities and business opportunities for Lin Yuan.
There's also the script selection process.
After "Thousand Mountains", Lin Yuan received many offers. He skimmed through the scripts and, objectively speaking, there weren't many that he felt comfortable acting in. He looked down on almost all of them. However, Lin Yuan was worried that he might have overlooked a good script, so he asked Feng Zeng to help him review it again.
Feng once said there was no problem, as he had previously managed actors at DA Entertainment.
Lin Yuan has very few works to date, but Feng Zeng specifically went to see "Thousand Mountains" and "Tomorrow's Tomorrow". He has been in the entertainment industry for a long time and used to manage actors, so he is quite familiar with screenwriting and directing.
He wasn't very good at currying favor with the higher-ups at DA Entertainment, but Feng had one advantage—he always managed to find suitable roles for the artists he was in charge of.
Although those artists, after their careers improve, are tempted by better offers and switch to other agents at DA Entertainment.
Those people are better at securing business deals and endorsements, which is where Feng Zeng is at a disadvantage.
His plan was this: once Lin Yuan's studio was on track, he would assign someone specifically to handle business negotiations, while he would only be responsible for the film and television part.
Feng Zeng was able to pick suitable roles for two reasons: first, he had been an actor himself, and second, his method of selecting roles for artists was different from others.
Some agents look at the scale of production, whether the director has successful experience, and the character design. Feng Zeng also looks at these things, but he prefers to look at the style of the director and screenwriter.
Lin Yuan knows what kind of roles he's good at, and he'll find scripts that match those roles.
Instead of forcing Lin Yuan into the role, we found production teams that could have handled the filming of Lin Yuan well.
While watching clips of "Thousand Mountains", he racked his brains to think of directors who could create similar styles. Of course, Feng Zeng gradually realized that although Lin Yuan was good at portraying gloomy characters like Gu Yilou, it did not mean that he was not good at other types of roles.
Lin Yuan himself has a sunny and cheerful face, but he hasn't taken on many sunny roles yet!
This greatly broadened Feng Zeng's options.
