Chapter 26 - The Glamorous Men
Chapter 26 - The Glamorous Men
No matter how much Su Cenxi understood about this new model competition, the program process was progressing at a rapid pace.
After a while, Su Cenxi was called to a film and television center to take promotional photos.
Other programs just do whatever they want and make it look pretty, but this program can't do that. It's not that the program team explicitly requires that you can't be too casual, but everyone knows that this program is full of supermodels. Anyone who dares to complete the task perfunctorily in any photo session may be ridiculed by others in private later. Fortunately, the studio had already discussed the plan before Su Cenxi came. Therefore, no matter whether he is standing or sitting, shooting a single person or shooting a group to be composited in post-production, he can handle it with ease.
But when it came to the second set of shots, Su Cenxi suddenly felt uncomfortable.
Because Duan Yunhong inexplicably appeared in the studio.
Su Cenxi was stunned when she saw him out of the corner of her eyes: My solo photo shoot, what is he coming to see? Even if ST is filming next door, can't he just stay there and concentrate on it?
Well, after being targeted by Duan Yunhong several times, Su Cenxi had a bit of PTSD towards this ST director.
Ning Fei noticed Su Cenxi's sudden nervousness, then glanced at Duan Yunhong who stopped next to him, opened his collar and took out a pack of cigarettes. He opened the lid of the cigarette, knocked out the cigarette, then shook the cigarette in front of Duan Yunhong and turned his head to gesture to the door.
The two of them walked out of the studio together tacitly, as if they were going to smoke a cigarette together.
In fact, as soon as he went out, Duan Yunhong said, "I don't smoke, go by yourself, the smoking room is over there."
"Nonsense, I didn't know you didn't smoke?" Ning Fei put away his cigarette, "I don't smoke either, I just called you out, otherwise you would scare Su Cenxi into a robot."
Duan Yunhong sneered: "Are you scared after just one look? If I ask him a question directly on the show, won't he faint?"
"You propose it, Judge Duan." Ning Fei leaned against the windowsill in the corridor and said with a smile, "When he is timid and can't express his ideas clearly, you will say 'Let me test you' in a fatherly way, which may become a popular emoticon. You must keep your word."
Duan Yunhong sneered again.
He did serve as a judge on this show. After Ning Fei found out about this, he teased him countless times.
"Seriously, what are you doing here?" Ning Fei looked at the door of the next shed. "You ST have so many supermodels, but why do you have to keep an eye on Su Cenxi? He is at least in the top 50 of MDC. Do you think he would ruin you just for taking a promotional photo?"
After a pause, Ning Fei looked strange again: "To be honest, you keep paying so much attention to Su Cenxi, I almost suspect that you like him."
"…What the hell?" Duan Yunhong was so shocked that his eyes widened. "I like him? How is that possible!"
Ning Fei was happy: "If it's not, then it's not. Why react so strongly? Aren't you afraid of attracting others?"
"You are the one who said those things!" Duan Yunhong said unhappily, "You know that I don't have a good impression of him, so why do you have such a ridiculous guess?"
Ning Fei: "Who knows? What if you are targeting him on purpose to lower his value, and then buy out Chenxi when he becomes cheaper?"
Duan Yunhong: "...Your imagination is too rich!"
Ning Fei: "Then what are you here to see? You are not here to see me, are you?"
"..." Duan Yunhong sneered, "You're overthinking it. I just came to make sure he won't make any mistakes."
"Even if you don't trust him, you should believe in my professional ability, right?" Ning Fei was a little amused. "Even if you don't trust me, there are still a lot of people on the scene, such as stylists, photographers, and program directors. Can't we trust them?"
Duan Yunhong directly asked back: "Why, I'm the host of the show, I can't come to watch the photo shoot?"
"Yes, yes, yes, then I'll stand at the door with you and we can watch quietly, okay?" Ning Fei said helplessly, "If you go in, it will affect his filming, won't it still ruin your show? Oh, and the promotional photos all wear brand D. If the photos are not taken well, it will offend the sponsor. So, let him do his best."
Duan Yunhong narrowed his eyes and asked, "Is he your artist or your son? Why do you protect him so well?"
"Hey, many agents are called 'mom' or 'male mom', which is really no different from taking a kid to school." Ning Fei shrugged, "But didn't Mr. Duan also worry about ST? I just concentrated the love that Mr. Duan had distributed to so many supermodels on one artist. It's normal, isn't it?"
Duan Yunhong: "I don't share my love with those supermodels."
Ning Fei: "Then who did you give your love to?"
Duan Yunhong: “…”
Ning Fei was happy, she reached out to him and hugged him: "Okay, I was just kidding. Anyway, you gave us a job, so you don't need to employ people? Go and do your own thing, there's nothing good about a photo shoot for a little model like us."
Duan Yunhong tensed his body and looked down at him: "Are you not afraid of being seen like this by others now?"
"Boss Duan has given us Xixi a chance. It's normal for partners to hug each other." Ning Fei smiled in his ear, then let go of him and stepped back. "We haven't seen each other for almost two weeks, right? You must be very busy recently, so I won't disturb you. Waiting for your message?"
Duan Yunhong moved his fingers, and finally let them hang down by his legs, and replied, "Okay."
Ning Fei nodded and was about to say goodbye when Duan Yunhong asked again, "Are you going to watch the filming of ST?"
Ning Fei: "Can outsiders see it?"
Duan Yunhong: "Staff members are walking around, what can't we see?"
Ning Fei smiled: "Okay, let's go and take a look."
So the two of them walked to another studio together, and Duan Yunhong even talked about work topics with a serious face as he walked: "Do you really want me to ask Su Cenxi questions in the competition?"
"You can ask for it. It doesn't matter if it's a little difficult..."
***
The news that Su Cenxi became a guest of the new model competition really sparked a wave of discussion.
Mainly, many people still remember that he was embarrassed by ST's director and supermodel, and finally fainted in public. Now he has unexpectedly become one of the important guests in the competition hosted by ST. Everyone is kind of there to watch the fun, waiting for the gossip about him making a fool of himself in the program crew to be exposed. However, this is just one of the smaller concerns of the audience about this competition. What everyone cares more about, of course, is the competition itself, which is full of publicity gimmicks.
World-renowned streaming media, large multinational model agencies, top luxury brands, fashion magazines, and a large number of dazzling supermodels and famous models... It can be said that the best fashion resources in Greater China, or even the world, are all gathered here. What kind of luxurious variety show can be produced with this configuration, and whether the effect is worthy of these top resources, people inside and outside the circle are waiting for the results.
The program started filming in such an atmosphere of great anticipation.
On the first day of recording, the program team set up a red carpet session outside the studio, where all the judges, guests, and sponsor spokespersons had to make their debut. N media and large screens on site broadcast the entire red carpet live. Major media outlets crowded the media area, and fan groups and audiences also surrounded one side of the red carpet. There are also autograph areas, interview areas, and mobile high-speed cameras on site to capture charming slow-motion shots of the guests. It can be said that the program crew has equipped it with all the things that are available on today's luxurious red carpets.
Su Cenxi mainly wore Y brand today, and the rest of her accessories were basically all provided by the luxury brands that the program cooperated with. ST did not make it difficult for him when selecting products, so his outfit went smoothly and he looked radiant, fully worthy of his MDC ranking and the title of topical supermodel. He did well today. Ever since the door of the limousine opened, all his movements were smooth and handsome. Not only does she walk with a pair of long legs like a supermodel, but she is also in perfect condition when taking photos and interacting with fans.
Ning Fei was standing in the staff area at one end of the red carpet. When he looked up and saw Su Cenxi's beautiful face on the big screen, he couldn't help but take out his phone and take a picture of the screen.
Su Cenxi's face is both an advantage and a disadvantage for him to be a supermodel. It depends on how he makes use of it and highlights it. It was obvious that the performance went very well today. As one of the decision makers for the styling, Ning Fei smiled as he felt that he had made the right decision.
Playing good cards even better is his favorite game with a favorable wind.
After most of the models walked the red carpet, it was the judges' turn. The first one was Duan Yunhong. When he got out of the car, the sound of flash lights clicking was no less than that of a supermodel appearing. This is not surprising, after all, he has always been very low-key and rarely appears in public. Now that he has so many titles and is standing under the spotlight, and he looks pretty good, he will naturally be favored by the camera.
"If they say I can make my debut, then you should be able to make your debut too..." Ning Fei muttered, then raised his phone and took a few close-up photos of Duan Yunhong on the screen. In such a close-up shot, this director is actually not inferior to his supermodel. Ning Fei couldn't help but sigh: I ate really well this time...
——How about taking a break and coming back to this world?
Ning Fei was just thinking about it when he suddenly heard a loud shout from the noisy crowd behind him: "Fei Fei——!!!"
It was very clear, but Ning Fei didn't take it seriously. On such occasions, there are many fans who scream crazily for the celebrities. He was about to send the photo he took of Duan Yunhong to him with a teasing comment when he heard several girls behind him continue to shout: "Fei Fei! Ning Fei Fei! Turn around, turn around!"
Ning Fei then realized something and when he turned around, he met the gazes of several excited girls outside the fence.
Ning Fei looked left and right, then pointed at himself: Me?
The girls nodded, raised their hands and waved quickly, signaling Ning Fei to come over.
Ning Fei hesitated for a moment, but still walked to the fence: "What's the matter?"
"It's like this, we originally wanted to send flowers to Xixi to congratulate her, but there is no chance for close contact today, so can you pass it on for us?" The girls handed out two bouquets of flowers, one large and one small. "The large flowers are for Xixi, and the small flowers are for you!"
Ning Fei looked at the two bouquets of flowers. Even though they were small, they were bright and beautiful enough. Not to mention the big bunch, which was directly packed in a bucket. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "How come I have one too?"
"We are Xixi's career fans! Xixi's career took off again as soon as you came back, that's great!" The girls were so excited that they were a little incoherent, "Gu Hechen, that stinky man, is really a hindrance, please let Xixi walk on the flowery path more!"
As they spoke, they held up a half-human-high teddy bear doll and explained, "This is a collaboration between Teddy and Brand Y. The bear's clothes are all from Brand Y. It matches Xixi perfectly! Please give it to him as well!"
Ning Fei understood that this was the rich woman coming to support.
"You can accept the flowers, but forget about the teddy bear. Such a beautiful and precious bear is more suitable to be your bedside knight. But I still want to thank you on behalf of Xixi. Thank you for supporting Xixi's career." Ning Fei called his assistant and took the flowers. "Don't bring gifts to the scene in the future. It's a small matter if you get squeezed, but it's a big matter if you get hurt, and it's easy to cause chaos. Next time there's a chance, let Xixi sign for you on the spot."
Jaslin followed the assistant to see what was going on. When she heard that Ning Fei, who was always sharp-tongued, could still use such coaxing words, she looked at him with a little surprise.
The girls nodded and wanted to chat a little more, but Ning Fei had already made the excuse of going to work and said goodbye neatly. The assistant next to him was holding a flower bucket that made it almost impossible to see the road ahead. Ning Fei was holding the small bouquet given to him in one hand and operating his mobile phone with the other. Jaslin suggested that she could help him get it, but he didn't give it to her.
They walked away without noticing that, in the distance, on the stairs at the end of the red carpet, a man who was dressed brightly and handsomely was silently withdrawing his gaze.
