The photographer in charge of Ye Chu's shoot was Wei Sen, a familiar face to her. Ye Chu wore a new dress from the season and, under Wei Sen's guidance, skillfully changed poses for the shoot. Because of their long-standing and familiar working relationship, the shoot progressed quickly.
She changed clothes several times, taking a set of photos for each outfit. After the shoot, the rest was handed over to post-production editing, then selected, and finally sent to Ye Chu's team for review and selection.
"All done?" Changji asked, somewhat puzzled. Although she was skilled, this shoot had taken at least ten minutes faster than the last one. And it seemed there was still one outfit that hadn't been filmed yet, judging from the clothes the staff had brought.
"No, no," David replied while checking the photos. "There are also photos of the two of us." He then shifted his gaze from the camera to Ye Chu's face, winking at her. "Little Chu, hurry up and change into the last outfit, don't miss this opportunity!"
Even after changing clothes and returning to the studio, Ye Chu still didn't understand what the other party meant. Just as she was about to ask, she heard several female employees at the studio entrance suddenly make a commotion, their faces showing some excitement.
Next, a pair of long, slender legs came into view, leading up to a perfectly proportioned waist… the person's figure was practically model-perfect. As for the face… Ye Chu was stunned. Gu, the renowned movie star?!
"Holy crap." Chang Ji muttered a curse under her breath, but Ye Chu had to admit that those two words were also her true feelings at that moment. The living, breathing Gu Da Yingdi was really right in front of her!
"Actor Gu, you've worked so hard. Even with such a busy comeback schedule, you still found time to accept our photoshoot invitation." The magazine's manager and editor-in-chief appeared out of nowhere and showered Gu Yu with praise.
Gu Yu glanced at them, gave them a standard polite smile, and said businesslike, "It's my pleasure."
"Not at all. Come, let me introduce you to Actor Gu. This is Ye Chu, who has been working with our magazine for a long time." Upon hearing the person in charge introduce him, Ye Chu quickly ran forward and respectfully greeted him: "Hello, Actor Gu. I am Ye Chu. Please take care of me."
"Hello, Ms. Ye. It's a pleasure to do business with you."
"Uh, it's a pleasure to work with you." Ye Chu was stunned as she felt the warmth from Gu Yingdi's palm. Gu Yingdi actually shook hands with her! My idol shook hands with me! And he even took the initiative to extend his hand!
They shook hands almost mechanically, and then there was a slightly awkward atmosphere. Fortunately, Wei Sen finished fiddling with the camera and said to them, "You can prepare to film!"
"Shall we go?" Gu Yu smiled and nodded to Ye Chu. The girl in front of him was just up to his shoulder and had been in a daze ever since they shook hands.
He took the lead and walked over first, and Ye Chu behind him quickly came to his senses and followed.
It was their first time working together, and with her crush being no less. Ye Chu was a little stiff at first, but Wei Sen corrected her for a while before she finally got into character. Was the collaboration actually quite pleasant?
After the shoot, Ye Chu followed her manager and quickly slipped into their van, finally able to catch her breath.
"Sister Ji! Am I dreaming? That was Gu Yu just now, right? Right!"
"At first, I felt like we had the same dream." Changji said excitedly, "Oh my god, the real person is so charming. As a mother fan of my age, I almost had my maternal love turn into something else."
However, both of them had extremely high professional ethics, and after a moment of excitement, they returned to normal.
"At first glance, the movie star only shot one outfit, probably just for a cover and a special feature section. But that outfit is from the same series as the one you're wearing, a matching couple's outfit," Changji analyzed. "Logically, that shouldn't be the case. Isn't the movie star worried that we'll use this opportunity for marketing and create a lot of rumors?"
"No, no." Changji thought for a moment and then denied it to herself: "Actor Gu is a veteran in the industry. Even if we do marketing, more people will probably say that you are just trying to ride his coattails."
"Maybe he's just interested in the topic," Ye Chu said. "Not everyone is... a bad person. Gu Yu is clearly someone who's committed to his career. Besides, he's confident that even if we create scandals for marketing, he won't be affected. With his current seniority and status, he's not someone that can be easily shaken. He has the capital to back it up."
"That's true. Never mind, I don't want to think about it anymore. We still have a long way to go to reach that level, and we won't have many opportunities to interact with Actor Gu in the future. I'll contact the company first, and if any trolls try to stir up trouble when the magazine comes out, we'll deal with them immediately." Chang Ji skillfully carried out the follow-up operations. After all, she had been in this industry for some time, and she saw things more clearly than others.
Once this magazine is released, no matter what, some people will definitely say Ye Chu is trying to ride on the coattails of the magazine's popularity. After all, many netizens just enjoy entertainment gossip and don't care about the truth. Most people will praise or criticize the magazine, with only a minority being rational. Therefore, it's still very necessary to control the comments and deal with some of the negative remarks in a timely manner.
However, Changji made a mistake in one thing. At this moment, neither she nor Ye Chu could have imagined that their opportunities to meet Gu Yingdi would gradually cease to be opportunities and become routine.
"Beep beep." Ye Chu's phone rang with a message notification. She quickly took it out to look. The message was from the crew of "The Escape," congratulating her on passing the audition. From today onwards, she would be Cheng Lu, the female lead in "The Escape."
"Sister Ji!" Ye Chu's eyes lit up as she winked at Chang Ji, "I passed the audition!"
"Ahhh! My darling Chuchu, you're so amazing! I'll give you an extra chicken leg for dinner tonight!"
The van drove smoothly on the highway. Outside, the sun was setting, and the orange glow of the sunset made the whole ground feel warm and cozy.
The clouds in the sky were also tinged with the colors of the sunset, just like the blush on the faces of the people in the car who couldn't hide their excitement, carrying a unique and enchanting beauty.
