The fact that Lin Chaomu was chosen for the cover this time was something only they knew internally. The photographer who came to shoot this magazine was even asking his assistant if this was a fashion cover shoot for "FV Vision" magazine. This magazine was founded in the 1980s and has always been a benchmark magazine in the fashion industry. However, in recent years, "FV" has been declining, but even so, it has not reached the point where top-tier magazines look down on it. In the past, every issue they collaborated with, even if it wasn't a top-tier magazine, was still one of the most popular ones. So why can't they recognize many of the people in today's issue?
The assistant was also called over by the magazine's editor-in-chief at the last minute and given a brief explanation of the situation. The little-known artist who was assigned the cover was portrayed as a very promising newcomer who was also very suitable for this issue's theme. In just a few words, the assistant understood what the editor-in-chief meant: this cover was assigned by a big shot. You should try to do something to your boss. They will find a way to ensure the magazine's sales will not tarnish your boss's reputation. They might even give your boss more money than usual for this issue.
The assistant looked at the photographer nervously, unable to speak for a moment. The photographer immediately understood what was going on. He laughed and said, "That's all there is to 'Visual' magazine. No wonder we didn't see any A-list celebrities. They're all unfamiliar faces."
"Boss, shall we still film?"
"Why not take pictures? They brought over these perfunctory people, so let's just do the same and take some casual pictures. Why not do something for money? Double the money! Rich people will do anything to please their mistresses, pulling all sorts of tricks to make women happy." The photographer smoked in the hallway.
The assistant seemed to have thought of something and said, "It seems that one of the people who came this time is quite famous."
"Famous? They're all nobody, not even a few hundred digits." The photographer scoffed.
The assistant paused for a moment before reminding him, "There is one, she's really popular right now, named Ye Yingying. She plays an important female role in Yu Shishu's new drama, and Yu Shishu has defended her several times when there were comments that were unfavorable to her."
“Yu Shishu? How could that be? I know him well. He’s an art fanatic, very picky about these artists. He specifically seeks out unpolished newcomers in order to pursue the most perfect character image.” The photographer was surprised. “You just said what kind of artist he was.”
"Ye Yingying".
"I've never heard of this artist before." The photographer suddenly realized, "I've forgotten. Yu Shishu only likes to find newcomers. When did he ever speak up for artists? Isn't he only focused on his dramas? I've worked with him a few times before. He is indeed a talented and gifted person, but his personality is not very suitable for the entertainment industry. If it weren't for his family's wealth and connections in the entertainment industry, how could he be so idealistic? However, he is indeed a genius. Even if others had his family background, they could not achieve what he has."
As if remembering something, the assistant whispered in the photographer's ear, "By the way, it seems that the person who has booked the cover this time is Mr. Yu Shishu."
"Wow, what a show!" the photographer exclaimed with great interest.
At his assistant's prompting, he spotted Ye Yingying standing in the corner. After hearing his assistant mention some details about Ye Yingying, the photographer carefully examined her. "She has a rather innocent look, but this kind of innocent look is rather limited... It's hard to say. I don't know what Yu Shishu saw in her. She just seems rather bland."
The photographer didn't have much of a feeling for Ye Yingying. In the end, the magazine arranged for him to try shooting some photos first to get a feel for the style. Since Lin Chaomu was the pre-selected artist, the photographer had Lin Chaomu try shooting a short clip first. The others didn't need to go through the motions. He would then say that this pre-selected artist was more in line with the theme, and that since someone had been chosen, the others could leave.
Because of Yu Jingchen behind Lin Chaomu, the photographer was quite polite to Lin Chaomu, letting her pose freely in the studio. Actually, there wasn't really a theme for this shoot; it was basically tailor-made for Lin Chaomu, depending on what kind of theme suited her.
The makeup artists were also ready to change Lin Chaomu's look at any time.
The whole atmosphere became serious, but Lin Chaomu faltered at the crucial moment. She had been so focused on Yu Jingchen that she hadn't been in the entertainment industry for a long time. Although she had done some magazine shoots before, they were all similar to street photography, where she could just pose like an ordinary passerby. This was the first time she had seen such a large-scale event, and even when the photographer told her to relax, she was still a bit stiff.
The photos are too stiff. There's a problem with them from the start; both the expressions and movements are stiff.
The photographer frowned slightly, but with Yu Jingchen and the sponsor of this magazine cover present, he couldn't directly reprimand the chosen artist. He took a deep breath and said with a smile, "Teacher Lin, you're too nervous. This kind of shooting won't capture your charm. Is it because you're the first one to go on stage that you're a bit stiff? How about this, Teacher Lin, you can rest first and Ying Xi'ai, and we'll try the others."
He asked his assistant to give Lin Chaomu some temporary guidance on how to film, and now he's just grabbing someone to go through the motions.
Because he had just talked to Ye Yingying's assistant among these people, and he also wanted to see Ye Yingying's ability to adapt to changing circumstances, he directly pulled Ye Yingying over. He neither allowed the makeup artist to change Ye Yingying's look at the last minute, nor did he suggest that the female lead of this theme needed to be a glamorous and sexy character. Anyone with eyes could see that this photographer was making unreasonable demands.
But Ye Yingying wasn't angry. When the makeup artist wouldn't do her makeup, she just messed up her hair. Since she had just been pulled over after the college entrance exam, her clothes were simple, and she was even bare-faced without any makeup. She didn't care much, she just messed up her hair and tried to get into the right mindset.
Because they could see that the photographer was making things difficult for Ye Yingying, everyone had no expectations for this magazine photoshoot and just thought it was a formality. The main thing was to take good pictures of Lin Chaomu, who was brought by Yu Jingchen, and promote her. Little did they expect that Ye Yingying's appearance would quickly attract the attention of the previously listless staff.
Ye Yingying had been personally cared for by Yu Shishu before. She treated every look as a close-up shot. Despite her pure and innocent appearance, her expressive eyes and charming demeanor transformed her from the initial blandness to a captivating allure.
Her eye acting is superb; she exudes sexiness even without any makeup.
Yu Jingchen was originally just talking to the person in charge next to him, but his gaze was quickly drawn to Ye Yingying, who was suddenly stopped and made difficult. Despite her clean and beautiful appearance, her eyes revealed a charming and alluring style. This contrast reminded Yu Jingchen of the new drama trailer in the video that Yu Shishu edited before, where she used bright red lipstick to seduce Wen Zhaolin.
