As soon as Ji Li and others reached the door of the dressing room, they heard exaggerated discussions coming from inside.
"If it weren't for the high price paid by Party A, I wouldn't have listened to your instigation and come all the way here to shoot the commercial."
"I don't know what they were thinking. They invited a newly popular Chinese celebrity to shoot a perfume commercial, and they said they believed that he and I could create a new classic? What was his name? Ji, Ji Li? A tongue-twisting Chinese name."
"Back then, when I was shooting a commercial for Goddess Audrey, she was already a popular actress."
"Do they think anyone can shoot a perfume commercial? Perfume is a luxurious and exquisite product. If you don't have that unique temperament, it will be difficult for me to find beauty even if I have an eye for it."
"...I really hope that I am not lowering my own status in this shoot."
Before the sound faded, a heavy sigh was heard from inside, as if the voice was worried about the next shoot.
Although the other party spoke English, he had a strong French accent and his identity could be identified from his words and actions.
Ji Li stood there in a daze, unsure for a moment whether he should push the door and enter.
Suddenly, Qin Li approached him from behind and whispered to comfort him, "Don't worry, Adolf is a man of few words and is always harsh to everyone."
Qin Li is very confident in the young man's ability.
Many advertising actors were moved to tears by Adolf's sharp tongue when they took on roles in his commercials. Even so, every time I heard that the latter had new advertisements to cast, I would still rush for an interview.
The reason is simple——
Adolf's aesthetic ability is completely online. All actors can reach a new level of beauty under his advertising lens.
Over the years, every commercial he shot has been a hit, and he has won many major awards in the advertising industry.
"Believe me, he will apologize to you for saying this later. You have the ability to do so."
Qin Li's comforting voice rang in his ears, and Ji Li's mood was depressed for only a moment before he broke free.
The man's deep voice fell into his ears, and the slightly hot breath brought up a tingling sensation that made him completely unable to worry or care about anything else.
After the TV series was broadcast, netizens praised Xie Yan's voice for his nice lines, but Ji Li felt that Qin Li's voice was the best.
When Ji Li thought of this, a faint blush appeared on his ears.
The next second, Qin Li pushed the door open before him and said, "Adolf, I haven't seen you for two years, but you are still so easy to offend people with your mouth."
The conversation inside stopped abruptly.
Barry Adolf stood up from his chair in great surprise, changing his previous harsh look and taking the initiative to stretch out his hands to Qin Li, "Qin, why are you here? Did you come to see me specially?"
“…”
Qin Li was silent for a moment. He thought of the young man behind him and had to respond with a tone that was not in his mind, "Of course I came to see you. Long time no see, Director Adolf."
The two hugged each other briefly before separating.
Adolf saw three figures behind the man and his eyes froze.
Soon, he noticed the young man standing in the middle.
Under the illumination of the ceiling light at the door, the other person's skin without makeup was surprisingly good, so white and tender that it seemed as if it could be blown away. Against the backdrop of her fair skin, the black mole on the bridge of her nose seemed to be glowing with a lively light.
The young man's eyes were dim, and there was a hint of strangeness in them, as if he was meeting a stranger.
He was with Qin, and he heard the conversation just now?
Adolf realized this fact, but his heart was replaced by a special emotion - this man's temperament is so great! Her appearance is pure and sexy, which completely fits the advertising character image he wanted!
As an advertising director with a keen eye for aesthetics, Adolf is a real lover of beauty. In less than thirty seconds of seeing the young man, he fell in love with his appearance.
"Qin, is this the protagonist of our advertisement today?"
Before he could get a positive answer, Adolf had already made up his mind.
No, the young man in front of you must be the protagonist of the advertisement.
Even if the 'Ji Li' he was collaborating on the filming with was someone else, he would definitely convince Party A to change the subject of the filming.
If Party A refuses to agree, he will have to find a way to get this young man to shoot another advertisement for himself!
Ji Li was stunned by Adolf's sudden burning gaze. He paused for several seconds before stepping forward at Qin Li's signal.
Qin Li took the opportunity to gently put his arm around the young man's shoulders and brought him to Adolf, his tone slightly raised, "Adolf, you guessed right. This is the protagonist of today's advertisement, Ji Li."
"He is a great actor, you will definitely like him, so please stop saying such hurtful things."
As the distance shortened, Adolf was able to confirm that Ji Li's skin was truly fair and tender, even his pores were almost 'invisible'. His bone structure hidden under his exquisite skin embodies the top aesthetics of Oriental people.
Ji Li came back to his senses and greeted Adolf in standard French, "Hello, director. I'm Ji Li. I'm honored to be the leading actor in your advertisement. Thank you for your guidance, as this is our first meeting."
How to express the most sincere greetings to a foreign director? In his opinion, it is necessary to use the other party's native language.
As soon as the young man's greeting came out, not only Adolf and the styling team behind him were surprised, but also Qin Li and a group of people who were familiar with the young man.
Yu Fuya and Qi An, who were standing at the end, looked at each other. They obviously didn't expect that a young man who grew up in the countryside could speak such fluent and standard French.
Qin Li fixed his gaze on Ji Li without any expression, and a smile that could not be suppressed burst out from his deep eyes——
Young people never try to show off, but they are far better than they think.
Adolf rubbed his hands excitedly, overjoyed, "My dear, your appearance is my biggest surprise today. To express my welcome to you, I am willing to communicate with you in Chinese throughout the whole process."
Adolf once studied at the China National Academy of Fine Arts for two years and also minored in Chinese. He is actually a scholar with in-depth research on the aesthetics of various countries.
After that, he gave Ji Li a hug in a familiar manner, "I apologize for offending you with what I said just now."
Adolf decisively admitted his mistake and put it out of his mind before the "nonsense" he had just spoken.
Let him slap her in the face, he likes this new cutie.
Adolf walked around Ji Li and said, "I strongly suspect that you are the muse I'm looking for. I'm full of inspiration for the next shoot."
The French are always enthusiastic in expressing themselves, and at this moment Adolf had clearly praised Guili to the utmost.
Ji Li paused for a few seconds before adapting to the other party's speaking rhythm.
"Little cutie, have you read the ad script?"
He held up the script in his hand and said, "Mr. Adolf, to be honest, I just got the script and was planning to read it while putting on makeup."
"Don't be nervous, just look around casually. I can grasp your beauty." Adolf poked the young man's chest with his confident fingers. It was soft through the clothes and felt particularly good.
Qin Li saw his action and his eyes darkened for a moment. He changed the subject inconspicuously, "Adolf, you have to give them time to put on their makeup."
"Of course, I have to rush to the shooting site to check it out. There can't be any mistakes." Adolf's enthusiasm increased significantly, and before leaving, he did not forget to take Qin Li away with him.
Ji Li breathed a sigh of relief without showing any expression, then turned around and met Yu Fuya's gaze.
The latter, who was watching the whole scene, smiled and praised proudly, "I told you, your face is your greatest weapon in the entertainment industry."
As soon as he finished speaking, the makeup team in the room invited him.
"Mr. Ji Li, please sit down. We have to change your hood."
Because it is a Chinese style perfume, everyone unanimously decided to use the advertising image of "Chinese style handsome man" to present it. This ancient costume headgear is naturally indispensable.
"OK."
Ji Li responded calmly and sat down.
Ancient costume styling has always been troublesome, but Ji Li is very accustomed to this established process.
After nearly two hours, the advertising makeup was finally completed.
The costume designer brought out a light yellow satin nightgown that was modeled after an ancient open-collared garment. The fabric is very thin and slightly transparent.
When Ji Li saw the clothes, he was obviously surprised.
This dress...isn't it a little too tempting?
The costume designer looked at him, then looked at Yu Fuya, the agent, and explained with a smile, "Don't worry, nothing will be exposed. This kind of hazy beauty is what we want."
Advertisements are made for the target audience.
Yingshi mainly markets women's perfumes, and as the spokesperson, Ji Li must use beauty to attract and conquer this audience.
What do girls like? Any extreme beauty.
The shot composition must be beautiful, the advertising background must be beautiful, and the advertising character image must be beautiful; none of them can be missing.
Yu Fuya had obviously seen a lot of things, and she jokingly advised, "As an actor, you have to take on roles if there is demand for them. Don't worry, our company team will review the commercial."
Ji Li took a deep breath and went to the changing room to get his clothes. Fortunately, his pants looked normal, just a little bit short, exposing his ankles.
…
Ten minutes later.
Ji Li arrived at the studio on the tenth floor. The shooting scene had been arranged into a bedroom with an ancient charm, with a large wooden carved bed and a circle of light yellow silk gauze curtains around it.
As the candlelight flickers, the light and shadow exude incomparable beauty.
On the bed, from left to right, there were sandalwood incense burner with agarwood, small and round pineapples, fruit wine of the same color, and glass cups. Beyond that, the ground was littered with fresh yellow-and-white flowers.
Everything around has an enticing sweet scent.
"Yesterday, the banquet in the deep palace was filled with fragrance, and the aroma of goose pears spread under the tent." (*)
Ji Li had read the script of the advertisement. The general content was about a prince and nobleman who, after attending a grand banquet, returned to his bedroom in a daze and drunken state, and fell asleep soundly to the fragrance and fine wine in the tent.
Because it was late winter, Ji Li put on a down jacket over the advertising clothes.
Ji Li's ancient costume looks have always been stunning, as evidenced by the recent popularity of Xie Yan. So, even though he only showed his makeup and hair, he still attracted the attention of the foreign team.
Some staff members burst into praise for him the moment they saw him.
"Oh my god, is this the protagonist of today's advertisement? She is so beautiful."
"Can I go up and get his contact information?" a male staff member was eager to make a move. "He looks very delicious."
Ji Li's forehead twitched when he heard this.
Very delicious? What kind of weird compliment is this?
Just as I was thinking about it, a group of people came out from the lounge next door. In addition to Qin Li and others who were familiar to Ji Li, there was also an elegant middle-aged woman who followed Ying Yuanjing closely.
Qin Li met Ji Li's gaze and was about to step forward, but was overtaken by Adolf beside him. The latter saw the young man's ancient costume and shouted "perfect" with an obsessed look on his face.
Qin Li's face tensed for a moment, and a trace of displeasure surged in his heart——
If he hadn't known that Adolf was married, and if he hadn't been aware that his enthusiasm for young men was just a pursuit of beauty, he would definitely have stepped in to stop him.
When Qi An saw his friend's reaction, he concealed the corner of his mouth and kept silent.
Ying Yuanjing walked over with his wife in his arms, looking very proud, "Ji Li, let me introduce you, this is my wife, Sun Linqiu, and she is also the core developer of this goose pear tent fragrance."
Ji Li smiled and nodded, "Hello."
"Madam Ying, I didn't lie to you, did I? Doesn't the cute Ji Li meet our perfume needs? With this face and this temperament, she is clean and unique, sexy and seductive. She can make people taste the sweetness of pure innocence, and she also has the ability to make people fall in love."
Adolf was gesticulating and talking nonsense, and in just a short time, he seemed to have become Ji Li's exclusive master of flattery.
It turns out that foreigners' compliments are more impactful.
Ji Li's cheeks felt a little hot when he heard this.
Ying Yuanjing shook his head, obviously unable to understand it for the time being.
His wife Sun Linqiu smiled knowingly and encouraged him warmly, "Keep going in the filming. I believe you can interpret the feeling we want."
Ji Li nodded, with confidence and calmness in his eyes.
He had done his homework in advance and found out that Yingshi mainly promotes two main notes of perfume - pear and agarwood.
The top note is a sweet but not greasy pear scent, representing the pure feeling of youth. The base note is heavy but not strong agarwood, which represents the mature feeling after going through many hardships.
"Ji Li, just follow the plot in the script. Our cameras are all set up. I'll have someone capture it in real time."
Adolf has his own understanding of shooting commercials——
As long as the preliminary work is in place, the actors' one-time performance can give people the greatest sense of reality.
"Don't be nervous, little cutie. If it doesn't work the first time, we can do it multiple times until you get the hang of it."
"Okay, Director Adolf."
After Ji Li finished speaking, he walked to the shooting set on the side.
In front of everyone, he took off his down jacket, revealing the gauze 'nightgown' he wore for advertising shoots, which immediately caused a burst of strong gasps from the audience.
The middle part of the robe was tied with ropes, and the close-fitting fabric outlined the young man's well-proportioned body, long legs, thin waist, and vague traces of well-trained abdominal muscles.
Further up is the delicate clavicle. How’s the saying going, can you raise fish in the clavicle? This arc is so beautiful.
The most eye-catching thing is the carefully made-up face...
At this moment, Ji Li is a beauty that completely transcends gender!
Yu Fuya looked at the exclamations caused by her own 'child', her face full of pride.
Four or five months ago, Ji Li was not satisfied with her figure, and would hire a personal fitness trainer to give her training after filming. No matter how hard or tiring the filming was, he would never miss any class.
Self-discipline will naturally be rewarded with praise.
If every artist in the entertainment industry could be so motivated and worry-free, then being an agent would definitely be one of the happiest professions.
"Oh my God, Qin, if I didn't already have a wife and daughter, I would want to pursue him!" Adolf was so fascinated by Ji Li that his eyes were about to pop out. Of course, these words were just his exaggerated way of praising her.
Unfortunately, the man next to him didn't hear his words at all.
Qin Li's attention was fixed on the young man who was about to take pictures, and his eyes gradually became gloomy.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Ji Li, and no one noticed that the man's eyes were filled with an almost rare possessiveness.
…
At the command, the much-anticipated shooting finally began, with three cameras starting at the same time.
After the grand banquet in the deep palace ended, the young noble marquis finally returned to his bedroom. After bathing, he only wore a silk gauze robe as thin as a cicada's wing and walked slowly towards the big bed.
The body-worn camera moves down from the young man’s back and around to a close-up of his ankles.
Under the robe was a slender and snow-white ankle, which was a little cold pink due to the cold. The young man was stepping on the ground covered with fallen flowers, and his round and small toes were still stuck with a few petals that were reluctant to leave.
Just with this simple shot, the photographer behind the camera held his breath.
Oh my god, it's so charming!
Even though he was not a foot fetishist, he wanted to hold the young man's ankles to prevent his feet from getting wet and cold on the ground and give him the most delicate warmth.
Ji Li walked to the bedside, and the flickering candlelight shone through the bed curtains, casting a hazy light on his delicate and flawless face. He half-knelt on one knee on the edge of the bed, lifted the veil that blocked his view, and slowly crawled to the edge of the bed.
He lay on his side on the soft quilt, holding up his superior chin with one hand, and his nightgown slid down like silk, revealing half of his shoulder that was slightly wet.
The fragrant mist of the agarwood burning on the couch mixed with the fruity aroma of the sweet pears on the table, which was refreshing and charming.
The camera freezes.
The young man narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at the camera casually, and smiled faintly.
She was in the most indulgent and seductive posture, but she had a pure and innocent face that looked harmless to the world. He can arouse the most primitive impulses in people, but they dare not get close to him for fear of defilement.
Ji Li grasped the complexity of this contradiction very well.
He stretched out his fingertip to pick up a drop of wine, put it to his nose and sniffed it, revealing a satisfied and intoxicated look. Then he picked up the glass cup filled with fruit wine, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.
The wine that could not be swallowed in time slid down the graceful curve of the neck, and was finally covered by the clothes and hidden in the attractive body.
The visual impact is immediate and extremely strong!
All the female staff at the scene were irritated by Ji Li and their cheeks turned red. Many male staff also breathed heavily.
Foreigners have always been open about sex, and such etiquette makes people want to have sex with him right there!
Adolf stared at Ji Li on the monitor with burning eyes and never stopped praising him.
What other instructions do you need from this director?
Every frame of youth is perfect! Shocking! Impeccable!
Even though this was not the first time I watched Ji Li’s filming, the feeling he brought me each time was unique.
Qi An sighed and shook his head, his eyes shifting to his good friend beside him——
Qin Li stood there like a sculpture, his eyes never leaving the young man being filmed from beginning to end. The veins on his forehead bulged slightly, and even his breathing was hot.
Qin Li always felt that his rationality was superior to his sensibility.
This is how it is to shape a character during filming, getting into the role quickly and getting out of it even faster; this is also the same when it comes to what others call "love", it is better to have nothing than to have something that is not good enough.
For the first time in so many years, Qin Li had a profound understanding - Ji Li had a fatal attraction to him since the day she appeared.
Up to this moment, he had no other thoughts and accepted defeat completely.
The filming continues.
After just a few glasses of fruit wine, a hazy look of drunkenness appeared in the young man's eyes. His eyelids drooped twice, but as if he was not satisfied yet, he slowly propped himself up, revealing his lazy demeanor.
The young man picked up the jug and poured it out, but there was not a drop of wine left. He sighed in dissatisfaction and threw the empty wine jug at his feet.
That willful temper when drunk makes him even more adorable.
Under the candlelight, the young man's skin was glowing with a beautiful luster. He picked up the round and lovely pear beside him, sniffed the sweet fruit fragrance, and then put it to his lips.
Sweet pear juice burst at the corner of his mouth, and the young man licked it contentedly. His thin lips were dyed a red and seductive hue, so gorgeous that people wanted to come closer to take a bite.
Ji Li ate half of a pear, then curled up on the soft quilt and fell into a sound sleep.
The fragrance on the bed continued to spread, and the camera slowly retreated and ended.
…
This is the end of the content on the advertising script.
But Adolf was so engrossed that he didn't even shout "Cut". Not only him, but almost everyone was immersed in the visual feast that Ji Li brought them and couldn't pull themselves away.
Sun Linxiang glanced at her husband, her eyes bright, "Our company has really found the right spokesperson."
There is no detailed description of perfume in the advertising script directed by Barry Adolph, but there are traces of fragrance everywhere.
The beauty lies on the bed, and the brocade curtains add fragrance.
In just three minutes, Ji Li expressed her thoughts vividly. The research and development of this goose pear scent perfume took her seven or eight years of hard work, and she values it more than anyone else.
Before this, Sun Linxiang had never thought that someone understood her hard work so well.
The aesthetic director understands her perfume, and so does the spokesperson Ji Li. Sun Linxiang is a woman, she understands how bewitching this video of the latter is!
Ji Yunzheng stood at the door of the studio, watching everything silently.
He was a little late because he had to take a business call. But now, looking at the expressions of the staff around him, he understood everything——
This advertisement may become the most successful and sensational film in the Chinese perfume industry!
Ji Yunzheng thought of Ji Yunqi's solemn promise, patting his chest, and a relieved smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
My younger brother has a really good aesthetic sense.
…
Ji Li waited for a long time, but the advertising director didn't tell him to end the show.
He propped himself up and climbed up in a daze, only to find that the burning gazes around him were gathered together, as if they wanted to look a hole in his body.
Almost instantly, Ji Li understood the implicit meaning of the staff's eyes, and a blush quickly rose on both sides of her cheeks.
Before he could take a step, he saw Qin Li approaching quickly with a coat in his hand.
"Brother Li?"
Qin Li stood in front of him, accurately blocking the inquiring gazes of the others, "Adolf has gone crazy, and is dragging Sister Yu to ask Party A to shoot another perfume commercial for you."
When Ji Li heard this, he finally understood——
Why didn’t I hear the end of the advertisement just now, and why did my coat appear in the man’s hand?
Just as he was thinking about it, Qin Li helped to zip up his clothes to the top.
Suddenly, the young man's attractive body was completely covered.
Maybe it was because of shooting the commercial, Ji Li still felt a little dizzy.
He raised his neck and tried to pull the zipper down a little, saying in a low voice, "Brother Li, the zipper is too tight, it's a bit tight."
But Qin Li suddenly grabbed the back of his cold hand and stopped him.
The man's palms were very hot, and his voice was unusually dry and hoarse. "You'll get used to it after a while. Be good and don't catch a cold."
