Chapter 184
In a building in the Shenzhen Art Park, a woman with long, purple hair stood in the first-floor lobby, pacing back and forth. She looked nervous, glancing toward the main entrance periodically, as if waiting for someone.
"Sister Ouyang, please stop wandering around in front. It makes me dizzy," the girl at the front desk couldn't help but speak when she saw Ouyang Yue wandering around in front ten minutes ago.
Ouyang Yue sighed, slumped onto the sofa in the lounge area, and said, a little overwhelmed, "What a jerk! I've seen artist crews arrive two hours late, but I've never seen one arrive two hours early! They're all making urgent calls, but they might as well make me wait a few more hours!"
The receptionist gave her a sympathetic look, thinking to herself, "I can tolerate her wandering around the lobby for another five minutes, if that's the case! Any longer, and she'll definitely not agree." Thinking of this, she became curious, "Why is she leaving so early this time?"
"We said we should get started shooting now while we're still feeling good, because we'll have to deal with jet lag afterward." Ouyang Yue rubbed her face vigorously, hoping the photographer would arrive soon. Otherwise, if the boss finished applying makeup and the photographer still hadn't arrived, the client's impression of the studio would definitely be negative.
In the car, the young taxi driver expertly navigated the campus. When they arrived at their destination, they saw a luxury car parked at the entrance and instinctively whistled. Zhou Xiao, sitting in the back seat, followed the driver's gaze and seemed to realize something. After exiting the car, he quickly walked inside the building.
The modernist studio door had already been opened, as if eagerly awaiting someone's arrival. As Zhou Xiao stepped onto the steps, he saw the front desk staff turn and shout to the left, "Someone's coming! Check to see if it's the photographer you're waiting for!"
Soon, a girl with slightly messy hair appeared in Zhou Xiao's sight. She even took a few more glances at the bag she was carrying, then hesitantly asked, "Excuse me, are you Teacher Zhou Xiao?"
Although Ouyang Yue knew from her boss, Shen Lin, that the photographer in charge of today's photo shoot was very young, she felt that he was much younger than herself. However, the young photographer was very generous. He didn't get angry when he heard her question. He nodded and let her lead the way.
"Teacher Zhou, I'm so sorry!" Ouyang Yue held the elevator door and spoke again after the two of them entered. "Teacher Shen should have explained the artist's temporary schedule adjustment to you. I hope it didn't delay anything for you, right?"
Zhou Xiao shook his head. He'd received a sudden call from Chen Lin while he was at the hotel. She'd apologized repeatedly, and neither of them had anticipated this minor hiccup in their collaboration. Luckily, Zhou Xiao had arrived in Shenzhen a day early, and the hotel wasn't far from the studio. He packed up and rushed over after receiving the call.
Seeing Zhou Xiao shake his head, Ouyang Yue breathed a sigh of relief. She hadn't expected him to come so soon, and to be so friendly! If it were some photographers they had worked with before, these low-level employees would be in trouble. Although the other party appeared to be getting along well with their boss, he was extremely sarcastic when interacting with them.
"Sister Lin is helping Teacher Yuan with her makeup. Is it okay for me to take you to the studio?" Ouyang Yue asked cautiously.
Zhou Xiao thought for a moment and asked, "Is the studio ready?" This time the photo shoot was done directly in Shen Lin's studio. Because of the artist's requirements, the arrangement was very simple, but he didn't know if the other party had prepared in advance.
"Yes, teacher, don't worry about this." Ouyang Yue quickly clicked it. The two of them had already come to the corridor. She pushed open the door on the right and there was a small studio inside.
The studio was simply decorated, practically unchanged save for a large canvas hanging in the background. Zhou Xiao didn't seem to mind, setting down her backpack and adjusting the lighting. She glanced up and saw the staff member who had led her was still standing at the door. She raised an eyebrow, asking if there was anything else she could do.
Ouyang Yue hurriedly waved her hands. After quietly closing the door, she breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest. She silently prayed, "God bless you, please ask the boss to work with more photographers like Mr. Zhou!" Just spending some time with him, I felt like my nodules had faded a little!
An unknown amount of time passed before Zhou Xiao had already set up the props and computer. She was standing in the middle of the venue, fiddling with her camera. She heard a creaking sound behind her. It was Shen Lin. She was standing outside the door, half-poking her head in, asking if she could film.
Zhou Xiao held the camera in his left hand and waved at her with his right. Chen Lin understood this as a sign of approval, so she said "OK" and closed the door, as if she was going to go and bring the artist over personally. Zhou Xiao thought about Yuan Yili, who was coming to shoot this time, and it seemed that his status was quite high.
When the door opened again, Zhou Xiao saw Yuan Yili, standing like a star among the crowd. Her appearance and name were both classic, a rarity in the industry. Her hair had been styled by Chen Lin into a classic low bun, and a piece of transparent organza dangling from a wooden hairpin matched the couture gown she was wearing.
Seeing Zhou Xiao, she smiled faintly, handed her cloak to the agent beside her, rubbed her exposed arms, and walked straight towards the center. Although Shenzhen is in the south, it is still cold to wear such thin clothes in this weather.
Yuan Yili's movements were impeccable and purposeful, a stark contrast to her usual public demeanor. Zhou Xiao subconsciously wondered if this was influenced by her life abroad. After all, this was different from her previous preparation. The artist's current state had changed, and naturally, she had to be flexible during filming.
"Teacher Zhou, let's get this over with," the agent, clutching her shawl, turned and smiled at Zhou. She glanced at the blower props on a tray and gestured for the staff to open them, appearing to be quite familiar with the studio.
Chen Lin, standing nearby, briefly described her styling choices to Zhou Xiao and shared the artist's desired results. They had previously discussed makeup, and this time the focus was on the new wooden hairpin idea.
Under the lights, the beauty of haute couture is unreservedly on display. The naturally luminous silk organza appears light and agile under the refraction of light, and under the woman's skilled swaying and the environment created by the blower, it looks like an ethereal fairy.
While Zhou Xiao was filming, Chen Lin exchanged a glance with her manager, Yuan Yili, who was sitting at her computer. The couture organza was incredibly beautiful and photogenic, but capturing that beauty wasn't easy. Especially in recent years, organza has become so overused that capturing even more stunning photos is a real test of a photographer's skill.
Looking at the finished photos on the computer and her agent nodding as she reviewed them, Shen Lin couldn't help but smile. If she hadn't said she was looking for Zhou Xiao, the first photographer who would have come to her mind when she saw Yuan Yili's couture gown would have been Zhou Xiao. Thanks to Ji Shao's brilliant interpretation of the previous WP event, she had been flooded with work during that time. However, the difference between her subsequent photographers was noticeable.
Just as she was lost in thought, Zhou Xiao, who was supposed to be filming, came over and touched her arm. Shen Lin came back to her senses and looked at Zhou Xiao, who was holding the camera. She was now looking at the original film on the screen carefully, thinking about something.
After a while, Zhou Xiao clicked on Yuan Yili on the computer, "Do you feel that there is something not good enough?" She looked at her agent and Shen Lin who were sitting on the chairs and shaking their heads at the same time, sighed in her heart, and then looked at Shen Lin and said, "Do you want to try combing your hair straight? And take off your earrings as well?"
Yuan Yili's organza dress featured longer ribbons than her previous organza gowns. Driven by the wind from the blower, the long, flowing organza ribbons drifted to one side, creating a dynamic and beautiful scene. However, Zhou Xiao's photos often had strands of hair obscuring her eyes, a result of the blower's force. While the resulting photos added a touch of softness and beauty, Zhou Xiao felt that the mood and dress were somewhat out of place.
One thing Chen Lin admired about Zhou Xiao was his communicative nature during work. When the photographer relayed this information to her, she pondered Zhou Xiao's idea and quickly agreed. This time, even the loose strands of hair weren't spared. After removing her earrings, she also removed the organza that held the wooden hairpin.
When the visual focus shifted from the head to the gauze dress, the agent who had been sitting quietly listening to the two people's discussion suddenly slapped his thigh while looking at the computer screen, "That's it! Absolutely amazing!"

The next day at noon, the highly anticipated red carpet segment of the "Blueberry Starlight Gala" was about to begin. The celebrities participating in the red carpet were extremely enthusiastic, with some artists even taking three sets of departure photos. As various studios were preparing to release their second set of studio photos, Yuan Yili's fans noticed an update from their own studio.
Some longtime fans first noticed the studio, often known for its Buddhist health regimen, had updated, and then were stunned speechless when they saw the photos. They secretly rejoiced, wondering if my sister was finally returning to China to conquer the world in the new year? Taking back everything that belonged to her?
——【Entertainment Forum】——[January 13, noon]

The simple fairy style that has been missing in the domestic entertainment industry for a long time, just these few organzas that seem to have aura are enough to make people beautiful to the peak. It’s really amazing [tears.jpg]

Friends... Chenlin Styling Studio posted a blog claiming Yuan Yili's look. Then, can you guess who the photographer is this time?

Although I was shocked, but thinking about the teacher's past achievements, it seems natural. By the way, someone must be very regretful, right? I personally cut off the future cooperation with this teacher.

I saw some stock-buying fans scolding Zhao Yitong... Honestly, I'd do the same. Why is it that every time a studio releases a photo, someone keeps scolding the photographer? Isn't it because good photos are hard to come by?

Meanwhile, Sun Manping, about to have her assistant send out the second set of departure photos, paused for a moment when she saw the blog post on the studio plaza. She followed the link to the post from Chen Lin Modeling Studio, carefully examined the photos Zhou Xiao had taken, and sighed.
The assistant on the side was still a little confused, "Sister Ping, what's wrong? Aren't you going to post pictures anymore?"
Sun Manping thought for a moment and waved her hand, "Post it!" Then she added, "Pay close attention to the videos of this event. Post them immediately when you get a good one! Also, please upload the side-shot videos of the two departure photos!"
