Chapter 77 Chapter 77 Pretty Face Vogue
This time, Vogue invited Jeon Seong-ae to shoot the theme "Pride of Korea," inviting six prominent figures from various fields of the entertainment industry to pose for five covers. These included supermodels Lee Joo-hyuk and Park Soo-joo, Kwon Ji-yong, the K-pop king, Jeon Ji-hyun and Son Ye-jin, the rising star of the new generation, Jeon Seong-ae.
With the exception of Lee Joo Hyuk and Soo Joo, who are on a double cover, the other four all have individual covers, all shot separately. However, in addition to the model covers, which were originally collaborations, Vogue also collaborated on special features with four artists from the two major categories of K-pop and actors. For example, Jeon Ji Hyun and Son Ye Jin, who are often jokingly called the "King Who Meets King," the "Queen of Starlight," and the "Queen of Literature," Vogue prepared a special feature on "Female Filmmakers Who Influence the World," planning interesting shooting content such as the story of a wild girlfriend encountering the eraser in her mind.
The same goes for Kwon Ji-yong and Jeon Star-ae. Their inside page feature is "The trendsetting creators who lead the world." The inside pages will feature the two of them collaborating on a photoshoot. The young couple will transform into a senior creator and a junior new creator to conduct interviews and photoshoots, so today they are destined to spend the entire day in the Woogua studio.
All 6 covers are paid for by high-end luxury brands. Kwon Ji-yong and Jeon Star-ae will shoot special editions for Chanel and Dior. Yes, although there is no title, Dior still pays for the cover of Jeon Star-ae, and even adds jewelry from Chaumet. The content of the two editions is the same, but the photos are completely different.
In the Chanel version, the two are a playful and rebellious rock duo. Their rainbow gradient hair was dyed back to black, and they both wore rebellious smoky makeup. They were dressed in full Chanel. From head to toe, both of them were full of tacit understanding.
"Okay, both of you make a face at me." The photographer was Hong Changxian, a good friend of Kwon Ji-yong who had worked with him for many years. He was chewing gum while shooting, and the atmosphere was very relaxed.
Kwon Ji-yong made his signature grinning face, and Jeon Seong-ae suddenly stuck out her tongue to lick the tip of her nose, and her eyes became very smart. The two people who were so cool in the camera in the last second instantly became brainless and unhappy.
"Oh my, these two pictures put together are just amazing. The sparks between you two are about to fly." After taking the photo, Hong Changxian laughed and asked the two to come over to see it for himself.
The two people on the left side of the screen are both wearing the new 2021 autumn and winter tweed coats. It looks like a casual street shot, and the camera is slightly tilted from above. Quan Zhilong puts his arm around Xingai's neck, strides forward, half-closes his eyes, slightly tilts his head and blows smoke rings at the camera. In his other hand, he holds the microphone to Quan Xingai's mouth. The girl is wearing a Chanel miniskirt and long boots, with a screaming expression as if she is shouting into the microphone.
On the right, two people are standing side by side, looking at the camera, and it becomes a close-up shot from above. One of them makes a "cross-eyed and licks the tip of his nose" gesture, appearing to be brainless, while the other one stretches his mouth and bares his teeth, appearing to be unhappy.
"Hahahaha Xingai, what's your expression!" The Vogue staff all burst into laughter.
"This is a unique trick. Most people can't lick the tip of their nose with their tongue." Quan Xingai said this excitedly, and the result was that everyone in the studio was licking the tip of their nose with their tongue.
"Oh my, you guys..." Quan Zhilong made a speechless expression. As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone was confused about what he had just done?
"You've all been infected by Star Love, right? The mindless virus."
"So Oppa is unhappy?" Quan Xingai cooperated by making a silly expression, then returned to his normal self and said, "But this rock and roll shoot always feels really stupid and unhappy. You're always trying to be cool and handsome, while I'm just being funny and cute?"
Hong Changxian looked through the photos and nodded, "But it looks very harmonious this way."
In every photo, GD shows his lower chin or looks at garbage, while Jeon Seong-ae is completely like the mischievous Chanel elf, with a pout, or dimples on his face, or squatting next to Kwon Ji-yong with his head raised and a puzzled look on his face.
"Kiyo, Naomu Kiyo, our Xingai, you are actually very suitable for Chanel." Kwon Ji-yong hugged Quan Xingai openly, without hiding anything.
"Oh my, Zhilong said he was in love when we were in Paris before, and his girlfriend is Xingai?" Hong Changxian realized belatedly that the two of them had such a tacit understanding when taking photos, and they looked like a couple. It turned out that they were already a couple.
"Jangxian, aren't you curious why Jiyong had to be changed to May when it was originally scheduled for June?" Editor-in-chief Shin Kwang-ho became the first male editor-in-chief in the history of Korean Vogue at the end of last year. He advocates localized content innovation and likes to explore and plan content that combines social issues. He had thought of the planning of "Light of Korea" in May very early on, and Jeon Seong-ae had always been the first choice. He didn't expect that after he told GD about the plan, he would not even give up his personal block and insisted on joining the planning for May.
Tsk tsk, Zhilong is still so childish.
"Oh, I see. But you two are indeed a good match. Both of you are rare creative geniuses in the circle." Hong Changxian gave a thumbs up.
"Brother, why are you here?" Kwon Ji-yong greeted Shin Kwang-ho.
"I'm curious about the girlfriend you finally got after so long." The editor-in-chief teased with a smile. Those of them who were close to Quan Zhilong had already heard that Zhilong had completely fallen for a junior this time.
"Hello, editor-in-chief nim, I am Jeon Seong-ae." The legendary charming junior smiled and shook hands with Shin Kwang-ho.
"Stop teasing me, but Xing'ai is indeed the treasure that I have been chasing for a long time and finally found." Quan Zhilong touched Xing'ai's hair with a smile, and even hugged her and kissed her cheek without any shame.
"Oh my, oh my, what a great relationship. But the next Dior style won't be so couple-like." Hong Changxian laughed.
Cody took the two of them to change their styles. After coming out, they changed from the playful Chanel mode back to the minimalist style commonly seen in the fashion circle. Even the shooting scene showed a strong opposition between two A's, as if they were lion kings occupying their own mountains.
Both wearing sunglasses and standing opposite each other with their chins raised, the atmosphere instantly shifted from romantic to rivalry, like a stare-down between two powerful figures. Jeon Byeong-ae, wearing a red Dior autumn/winter gown and high heels, looked as tall as Kwon Ji-yong, who was dressed in a black suit. The two of them were truly a South Korean version of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith."
This made Hong Changxian very happy. The expressiveness, fashion sense and tacit understanding of these two people are perfect!
After the filming was finally finished, the editor took the camera and started shooting the welfare interview video. The two were still wearing red and black Dior dresses, sitting on either side of the sofa, looking at the camera expressionlessly while being interviewed.
How should I put it? This picture and this posture look similar to the scene in Mr. and Mrs. Smith where the two people are receiving marriage counseling.
"So how did the two of you become friends?"
Quan Zhilong thought for a moment and said, "I listened to that song "Evil Girl Virus" before and thought it was very interesting. After changing companies, I met Xing Ai while writing songs in the production room and found that she was a genius in writing melodies. Then we gradually became familiar with each other."
"The president has been saying that he was trying hard to invite a super senior. I thought it was a joke until the company meeting introduced the new boss as senior GD. I was almost scared to death at that time. I had previously vowed to my teammates that the company's new boss might be senior Li Xiuman. I'm sorry, sorry, Mr. Xiuman." Quan Xingai couldn't hold back the cold expression and smiled completely.
“Will the two of you work together in the future?”
This time, Jeon Seong-ae spoke first: "Everything is possible. It must be the dream of every creator to be able to work with GD."
After hearing this, Quan Zhilong couldn't hold back his cool expression and laughed, "Don't say that. Xing Ai is an excellent songwriter. I like to communicate with different musicians, and I also like to make friends with people from different fields to create sparks."
“So becoming friends with F1 drivers was also a coincidence?”
"I've known Charles before, but we never had the time to meet up. This time we finally got together in Paris. Besides meeting up, we also wanted to collaborate on some new things. You can look forward to our collaborations."
"I visited the Monza circuit in advance, and then fell in love with F1 just like Zhu Hege. I like the feeling of adrenaline rush. Let's look forward to Oppa's new song. He is full of energy now." Quan Xingai raised his eyebrows and revealed the news suggestively.
"Wow, so it's really coming back this year, huh?"
"Yes, I will meet you all this year."
"My solo album is also in production, but it's hard to say when it will be released. After all, no one wants to clash with the sound source Dawu." Quan Xingai pointed at Quan Zhilong.
"Hey, aren't Xing Aixi's three songs also called the trilogy to the top? Looking at Xing Aixi is like seeing my past self." Quan Zhilong showed an uncle-like expression and said jokingly with the tone of an experienced person.
After that, we talked about a few topics related to creators, and the filming was actually finished at 9 o'clock in the evening.
"Thank you everyone. Let's have dinner together tonight. We have booked a restaurant." Kwon Ji-yong and Jeon Xingai said to everyone while shaking hands with the staff, taking photos and signing autographs.
"Yeah, GDxi is always so generous, Kang Sang Mida."
"Thank you both. Xing Aixi, please come to Vogue to shoot your feature next time."
"Oh my, this address, I thought it was a barbecue restaurant or a bar, but it turned out to be a high-end restaurant."
"Are you two planning a party?"
When the Vogue staff saw the address of the dinner, they were surprised. They thought it was just a place for drinks and dinner, but it turned out to be a high-end Michelin restaurant. They heard that the whole night was booked, so some staff members laughed and joked.
Unexpectedly, Quan Xingai generously admitted, "Yes, it's a party. It's all our friends. If you have time, let's come together."
Shin Kwang-ho patted Zhilong's shoulder and asked with a smile, "Isn't this to celebrate you two being together?"
Quan Zhilong smiled and shrugged: "I just want to share this happiness with all my friends. I won't announce this to anyone. Brother, just treat it as a party."
After arriving at the restaurant, everyone found that it was really a party as Xingai said. The staff from Neon Company who were familiar with her also came, and all the members of RD were present. Upon closer inspection, Park Jinri and He Ra, who had not been seen for a long time, were also there. Oh my, I heard that these two have retired and are living in seclusion in Japan.
"Oh my God, it's 2021, and you...you two have finally figured it out and want to be together?" Zhenli and Hela stood together and spoke in disbelief, their expressions full of admiration.
"Are you two playing the elementary school push-pull game?" He La said as she punched Zhi Long.
"Ouni, it's mainly my fault, not Zhilong's problem." Quan Xingai spoke quickly. Everyone thought that the two of them had been pushing and pulling each other for more than a year, but in fact, Quan Xingai had been avoiding it for more than a year.
"Tsk tsk, you're already defending me, Xingai. I didn't expect you to be so love-brained." Zhenli shook her head. "But as long as you're happy, I was really worried when I saw you being profiled by The Sun. Luckily, the outcome wasn't too bad."
"Yeah, are you two doing this on purpose? Being together openly in the name of friendship?"
"It wasn't intentional. We were photographed accidentally, but this result was actively guided. From the first day we were together, I wanted to stand with Xingai openly, so I said we were just friends and let the fans accept it slowly." Kwon Ji-yong held his girlfriend's hand and coquettishly leaned his head on Xingai's neck.
"Oh, these two are still so annoying." Zhenli and Hela shook their heads exaggeratedly.
"Ouni, are you planning to go back to Korea? The guy from Samsung was put in jail at the beginning of the year, and the current public opinion environment is much better than before." Quan Xingai pushed Quan Zhilong away, pulled Zhenli to the corner and asked her.
Zhenli shook her head. "Forget it. I've already told them everything I can offer. I'm not interested in the entertainment industry. I feel safe in Kagoshima with Hela."
"That's good. It's also a way to protect yourself if you don't get involved in these messy things. My lawyer told me that he has investigated a lot of inside information about water army companies. I think the day when I fight back is not far away." Quan Xingai smiled with gritted teeth. Although she didn't care about those negative comments, the harm those people had done to Xiao Xingai in the past was real, so she was waiting for an opportunity. This F1 cooperation was an opportunity, but there was still a way out, so she had to wait a little longer.
Zhenli and Hela stayed at the party quietly for a while and then left. That night, everyone tacitly agreed not to upload their photos or mention them, as no one wanted to disturb the two girls' peaceful lives.
Quan Zhilong sighed as he looked at Nu's stubborn face. "Are you really planning to sue the online troll company? Many of them are backed by large companies. It will be difficult for you to stop them like a mantis trying to stop a chariot."
"Arasso, I know, so I didn't plan to hold out any hope at first. After reading the lawyer's report and the evidence, I realized I couldn't forgive Xiao Xing'ai for the past and heal the hurt. I have to do something. Even though I can't do it right now, I'll save my strength and prepare slowly."
"So the reason you suddenly became so hardworking and ambitious is because you wanted to stand higher, become more powerful, and then judge those people, right?" Quan Zhilong felt a little distressed.
"Yeah, aren't you the same? You're still blaming me. Don't think I don't know. Someone has submitted materials for President Yang's tax case again. What did you provide?" Quan Xing'ai smiled and looked up at Quan Zhilong.
"I just anonymously reported some documents to the prosecutor. He won't know it was me. He thought no one in the company knew about this. The scandal back then was also fabricated by the president. I should also do something for Xiaoxing's love." He hugged Nuna and sighed in his heart.
"We have the same goal. I told you that I found out who is behind the water army company..." Quan Xingai leaned close to his ear and they whispered secrets.
The party was truly just a regular gathering of friends, with people gathering in groups to chat and take photos. The four RDs finally made it to the group, with Kwon Ji-yong sitting in the middle. Their initial reaction to the news that Xing Ai was finally with this veteran was: "Finally, the push and pull is over."
"I've discovered that there's meat to be had if I follow the captain. Xing'ai goes to Europe, and when she comes back she has a lot of good news and work." Jin Enmei said generously.
"I never thought that after 5 years since debut, we'd finally be going overseas!"
"It's not just my credit. It's also thanks to you guys who have been participating in variety shows and programs to maintain the popularity. It's the result of everyone's hard work." Quan Xingai hugged his teammates and skillfully said, "Five years to debut is nothing. We have accumulated a lot of experience and will conquer more people sooner or later."
"If it were in the past, I would think Xing Ai was nonsense, but now, I completely believe you." Yin Yanzhen nodded.
After the new album became a hit last year, the popularity of the other three teammates also skyrocketed. Coupled with the addition of the new Cody team, not only have all of Xingai's resources reached a new level, but the teammates' endorsements, variety shows, and personal information have also been greatly improved. For example, Yanzhen threw the first pitch for an MLB baseball when Xingai went to the fashion week a while ago, Eunmi is also preparing a new solo song, and Jinwen is almost becoming a professional variety show female MC.
"So it really took you more than a year to get her, senior. Is it because of that previous incident that Xing Ai..." Park Jinwen asked Xing Ai in a low voice, looking quite gossipy.
"I'm curious too!" Even Yanzhen, who is usually a cool girl, came over.
The teammates looked at their senior Kwon Ji-yong not far away in an ambiguous way. He laughed out loud and was pulled over by Lee Joo-hyuk and Park Soo-joo to be teased by his friends in the fashion circle. He looked embarrassed, but actually he was enjoying it. The situation on Jeon Seong-ah's side was not much better. The teammates were gossiping with their eyes half closed, and their respective assistants were also gossiping with Ji Myung-jin not far away.
"As for this question, oh, it's my fault. I didn't think there was a possibility of being with him because of some things before, but now I've figured it out. It's better to have tried and worked hard than to do nothing." Quan Xingai said with some emotion while holding the wine glass.
"Why are you pretending to be so mature? Xingai is a girl full of energy." Jin Wen pinched Xingai's cheek.
"Our Xingai is so cute." The teammates looked at Quan Xingai who was pretending to be mature and pinched her face to break her mature and sophisticated expression.
"Hey, let's celebrate that our captain is finally in love. It's finally not just talk, long live!" The three girls raised their wine glasses and squeezed Quan Xing Ai in the innermost part. Then the four pretty faces gathered together, winking and making faces at each other and took a group photo.
@RIOT_DOLLS: Welcome back our captain! We look forward to the return of our producer. Let's go further together.
