Chapter 59: Filming Again
When we started shooting the cover and promotional photos for La Pluie again, it was already the end of August and the end of summer was almost over.
When Qin Xiaoxi first received the shooting order from Jiang Yanyu, she was extremely scared and even thought about resigning. After all, as a retired wild model with no professional knowledge, how could she be qualified to shoot a cover photo?
Whenever Qin Xiaoxi faced the camera, she couldn't help but think of the past. It would take courage for her to go back to being a model.
What's more, she has to shoot with Qu Man, isn't this adding insult to injury? !
Seeing that she was backing off, Luo Qinglin persuaded her again and again, chatting with her all night long, asking her to seize this opportunity and make good plans for the future.
Before this, Qin Xiaoxi just wanted to muddle through, especially after being hit by the sudden salary from Yanyu Studio, she became even more lazy.
Qin Xiaoxi originally planned to retire completely after a year, move directly to a small town to open a coffee shop, and live the rest of her life in peace.
But when she met Luo Qinglin's concerned eyes, Qin Xiaoxi couldn't say no, let alone her decision to lie down and die.
"Xiao Xi, stop thinking about Qu Man. This concerns your career."
"If this shoot is successful, it will be a turning point in your life."
"We will go to the HF show next month. If you start to get in shape now, you will definitely get the chance to walk in the high-end fashion show!"
Under the continuous bombardment of Luo Qinglin's "career pie", Qin Xiaoxi's subconscious mind became inexplicably excited. She even dreamed of her holding flowers and becoming an international supermodel.
After dreaming of becoming a supermodel for several days in a row, Qin Xiaoxi finally decided to stand up and accept the task assigned to her by the capitalist.
Fortunately, Qin Xiaoxi has been practicing boxing for two months continuously, and her basal metabolism is high enough, so it is easier for her to lose fat than most people.
With Luo Qinglin's pre-shoot guidance and her hungry efforts, Qin Xiaoxi finally looked a bit like a model.
By the day of the shoot, Qin Xiaoxi's jawline had become very noticeably thinner. She had an aura even when she wasn't smiling, and her pair of almond-shaped eyes were sharp and heroic.
Before getting off the car, Luo Qinglin advised like an old father: "You need to keep a calm mind and don't lose your form just because you are filming with Qu Man."
"I know, I know." It would have been fine if Luo Qinglin didn't mention it, but as soon as he mentioned Qu Man, Qin Xiaoxi became nervous.
Less than half a month has passed, and the ginkgo leaves around the Moon Phase Studio have begun to turn golden from the edges.
The last days of summer are fading away, and autumn is approaching.
As soon as the two opened the door, Xiao Ruxuan rushed out of the building and ran straight towards Qin Xiaoxi.
She was wearing a La Forêt floral cape and running against the wind with her arms outstretched, like a giant butterfly.
"grass!"
Qin Xiaoxi turned around gracefully, hugged herself with her arms, and quickly hid behind Luo Qinglin.
Seeing Qin Xiaoxi dodging, Xiao Ruxuan braked the car quickly and stopped in front of Luo Qinglin.
"Mr. Luo, Xiaoxi, long time no see." Xiao Ruxuan said with a smile.
"What do you mean long time no see? Didn't we just meet yesterday?" Qin Xiaoxi leaned out and retorted.
yesterday?
Luo Qinglin smelled gossip and turned around and raised an eyebrow at Qin Xiaoxi.
Qin Xiaoxi frowned and accused:
"She suddenly went crazy a few days ago and ran to the gym where I have a membership to learn Muay Thai. The coach asked me to help her train, but before I even touched her, she pretended to be defeated and fell to the ground, like a weak willow."
"She insisted that I help her up, otherwise she would just lie on the ground!" Qin Xiaoxi became more and more angry as she spoke.
Imagining the scene described by Qin Xiaoxi, Luo Qinglin was not surprised, because this was what Xiao Ruxuan would do.
Xiao Ruxuan's way of pursuing people is truly unique and no one can match her.
"Alright, alright," Luo Qinglin stopped Qin Xiaoxi and said, "Ms. Xiao, shall we go in first? Xiaoxi still needs time to put on her makeup."
"Okay." Xiao Ruxuan reluctantly moved aside to make way.
Qin Xiaoxi glared at her warily, then moved towards the studio in small steps, close to Luo Qinglin.
Just as he was about to walk into the room, he suddenly heard a voice behind him: "Miss Qu hasn't arrived yet. You'll have to wait a long time, Qin Xiaoxi."
Qin Xiaoxi paused, then continued walking forward without looking back, "I don't care."
The wind gradually picked up, rustling the ginkgo leaves.
Xiao Ruxuan did not chase in, but stood where she was, put away her nonchalant look, and looked at the figure that was getting farther and farther away with a sullen face.
The two of them were talking in a charade, but Luo Qinglin understood the hint.
After greeting the other staff members and entering the dressing room, Luo Qinglin closed the door and asked hurriedly, "What did you mean when you said you didn't care?"
"I don't mean anything. I just said something harsh so that Xiao Ruxuan would stop bothering me." Qin Xiaoxi avoided his gaze and spoke vaguely.
Luo Qinglin stared at her for a moment and asked, "Are you going to wait until Qu Man turns gay? But she doesn't look like she can..."
"No," Qin Xiaoxi interrupted, "She is a big star. Even if she is gay, she won't fall in love with me."
"Don't worry," Qin Xiaoxi patted Luo Qinglin's shoulder and comforted him, "It's just a brief heartbeat. After the filming is over today, I won't have the chance to meet her again, and I will slowly forget it."
There is no chance to meet again...
But you will search for her information on the Internet, find her pictures, check her schedule, save all the photos, and even meet her in your dreams.
Thinking of his aborted confession and the more than 10,000 photos of Jiang Yanyu stored in the cloud, Luo Qinglin's mood also became depressed.
Seeing that Luo Qinglin didn't say anything, Qin Xiaoxi asked: "What's wrong with you? Are you having a conflict with Brother Jiang again?"
"No," Luo Qinglin said with his head down, "I almost confessed to him, but he interrupted me."
Qin Xiaoxi looked surprised and raised her eyebrows and asked, "When did this happen? Why didn't you tell me?"
"Last week," Luo Qinglin replied, "I was busy preparing you mentally and forgot to tell you."
Qin Xiaoxi looked at the time and saw that there were still more than ten minutes before the makeup artist arrived, so she said, "Let me make it short."
Luo Qinglin briefly recounted the scene that night and asked, "Do you think he had a premonition and knew what I was going to say?"
"It seems so, but it also seems not so."
Qin Xiaoxi pondered for a long time, but couldn't say anything definite. He only gave an ambiguous answer.
"Is he a little fed up with it? Or simply doesn't want to hear my confession?" Luo Qinglin asked anxiously.
Qin Xiaoxi waved her hands, "Impossible! I think he is just pushing and pulling on purpose so that you will think about him all day long."
"Look at how you look now, worried and having all kinds of crazy thoughts. It's obvious that you've fallen into his trap!" Qin Xiaoxi said solemnly.
Luo Qinglin said dejectedly: "He was obviously very anxious before, and he wanted me to 'bend' quickly, but now he is not anxious at all, and he doesn't ask me every day if I am anxious or not."
"At least you have some confidence in yourself!"
Qin Xiaoxi punched Luo Qinglin and encouraged him, "You are a popular photographer. If you get the capital... Hey, Brother Jiang, it's only a matter of time."
Luo Qinglin curled his lips, thought for a moment, and asked back, "Why are you talking about me?"
"As for you, don't be disturbed by Qu Man. The most important thing now is your career." Luo Qinglin said.
"Got it," Qin Xiaoxi said quickly, fearing that Luo Qinglin would continue to nag, "The makeup artists will be here soon. I'll go out to pick them up. You should also get ready."
After she finished speaking, Qin Xiaoxi ran out quickly, leaving Luo Qinglin alone in the dressing room who didn't need to put on makeup.
A few minutes later, the makeup artist hurried over, greeted Luo Qinglin, and started to put makeup on Qin Xiaoxi.
Qin Xiaoxi's appearance is inherently aggressive, so her makeup is not complicated. She only needs to apply a little foundation, emphasize her almond-shaped eyes, and apply bright red lipstick.
Since Qin Xiaoxi and Qu Man both have shoulder-length hair, they didn't even need to bring wigs for this shoot and could style their natural hair directly.
The clothing used for the shoot was no longer the ancient-style skirt from last time, but a new-style short cheongsam, embellished with a leather waist belt with ties.
In less than an hour, Qin Xiaoxi had finished her makeup.
Luo Qinglin first asked her to go to a designated spot to adapt to the lighting, and then took several pictures in succession to find her condition.
After getting used to the heat of the lighting and the sound of the shutter, Qin Xiaoxi quickly got into the state, not feeling as restrained as she did at the beginning.
Although her limbs were not as coordinated as before, Qin Xiaoxi's eyes were much sharper than before.
Right now, her aura is fully revealed, and she is even more malleable than most of the models Luo Qinglin has photographed.
"Okay, let's take a break and wait for Qu Man to come." Luo Qinglin put away the equipment with satisfaction.
As if she hadn't had enough of the filming, Qin Xiaoxi stood there and asked, "Are you done yet?"
"I'm just helping you find your form. The filming hasn't officially started yet." Luo Qinglin replied.
Qin Xiaoxi nodded, stepped out of the shed carefully, walked to Luo Qinglin's side, and asked hesitantly: "How was my performance just now?"
"It's much better than before," Luo Qinglin said with a smile, "I was worried that you would feel restrained, but I didn't expect you to adapt so quickly."
Hearing this, Qin Xiaoxi finally felt relieved, raised her chin, patted her chest and said, "After all, I was a model for a few years."
Seeing that Qin Xiaoxi was in good condition, Luo Qinglin felt relieved.
"When Qu Man comes, you have to maintain this state, okay?" Luo Qinglin reminded again.
"I know!" Qin Xiaoxi sighed, "You've said this dozens of times, please stop nagging me."
boom......
A huge roar sounded outside the building. The throttle sound was disturbing and exaggerated, obviously the throttle sound of a sports car.
Luo Qinglin and Qin Xiaoxi looked at each other and walked downstairs together.
When we reached the first floor, Xiao Ruxuan was lying unconscious on the bar, with a floral cloak covering her head and a high-proof glass of "Death in the Afternoon" beside her.
Qin Xiaoxi shook her head helplessly and continued walking out of the building.
Bai Shengyun's Lamborghini just stopped, the engine was turned off, and the engine sound stopped.
Luo Qinglin gave a formal smile, preparing to greet Teacher Bai, whom he hadn't seen for many days.
The driver's door was not open, so the co-pilot opened it first.
A pair of slender legs wearing black high-heeled shoes slowly stretched out and landed lightly on the ground with almost no sound.
The next second, Bai Shengyun opened the door and got out of the car, and the woman in the passenger seat also stood up swiftly.
When the woman's true face was revealed, Luo Qinglin's smile froze on his face.
Quman? ? ?
Why was she in Bai Shengyun's car?
The author has something to say:
Luo Qinglin: You must not...
Qin Xiaoxi: Master, please stop chanting 555!
