Beijing Film Academy.
As an internationally renowned photographer, Wang Hao's photography course at school has attracted a lot of attention.
Just getting this course is a highlight for many people.
Today, Wang Hao certainly could not have imagined that one of his teachers would become a hot topic because of a photo.
He cleared his throat and glanced at the students below the stage, a hint of relief in his eyes:
"Hello everyone, it looks like you're all doing well, and you all seem pretty positive."
When he said this, the students below suddenly quieted down.
Everyone stared at this professor, who had both reputation and honor, and finally expressed their doubts:
"Teacher, there is still one thing we are unclear about."
"You said there are no rules in my class." Wang Hao said with a smile.
"Well, the cover photo of Harper's Bazaar has been released. I wonder if you could tell us about it?"
After this student finished speaking, it immediately attracted many people's appeals and support.
Wang Hao laughed. As a teacher who paid close attention to new media, he certainly knew about what the students mentioned.
He had also worked for Marie Claire before, so he was naturally aware of how different the preferences of the editors-in-chief of these five major magazines were in different regions.
He cleared his throat.
"So the cover is already out? Okay, in that case, the content of our class will be this photo."
He did not rush to look at the photos, but asked his students questions first:
"Before that, I'd like to ask you a question. Do you know about the preferences for these fashion magazines in different regions?"
After he asked this question, many students fell silent.
They are just like those netizens who are just watching the fun. In fact, they have no idea why the move of "Bazaar" has caused such a stir in the fashion circle.
Wang Hao laughed. Their reaction was within his expectations.
"Okay, if that's the case, then I'll explain it in detail. For example, in France, Harper's Bazaar's biggest fandom is definitely supermodels, while in Italy, it favors actors and artists. In America, there are more singers and athletes. In our country, singers are the most looked down upon."
"This campaign actually managed to unify the covers of all these countries, which shows just how much concessions Harper's Bazaar has made. This is unprecedented. As for Moonlight Girls, they've already covered all five major magazines in China, and the next step is to conquer overseas."
After saying so much, the students finally understood that this opportunity was quite rare.
In a few years, many people will definitely bring up this matter again and again.
This cover photo will also appear in various inventories.
"Well, let's analyze the photos!"
…
Tang Yue suddenly pressed the pause button on her phone: "Why am I a little nervous?"
After she got up, she found that Yue Shao had been in the top three trending searches for six hours.
Their cover photo also completely broke through the fashion circle and caused huge discussion among netizens.
The most widely circulated one is Wang Hao’s explanation video.
"I remember this video was praising us." Su Yin said softly, "And everyone's controversy seems to have nothing to do with us."
Tang Yue hummed and played the video again. Wang Hao's rhythmic voice immediately echoed in the room:
"Group photos are often considered the simplest. If you look back at your own group photos from elementary school to work, you'll find that, aside from the people changing, the entire composition is almost identical."
"However, for fashion magazines, the key isn't whether the photos look good or not, but whether they're unique enough. So trying to manage over ten artists while not being able to prioritize them is very difficult."
Soon, the photos appeared.
This is a photo that is difficult to find the main point at first glance.
Everyone carries a musical instrument, and their positions are scattered like stars in the sky.
"I see." Wang Hao smiled and continued, "Who is the first person you see after seeing this photo?"
The students in the audience said completely different names:
"Su Yin!"
"Tang Yue!"
"Fendi!"
"Pingcheng Jing..."
"See," Wang Hao shrugged. "This is the photographer's deliberate arrangement. To avoid disputes over ranking, he wants everyone to start from the same starting line."
"Look at the instruments in their hands. Our Moonlight Girl and Wen Yuan, as Chinese artists, are holding our country's traditional instruments. There's nothing wrong with that."
"The controversial point is that some countries don't have their own musical instruments, so they have to choose what they are good at or what they like."
"This has led to a lot of dissatisfaction among many people, who feel they are not worthy of representing this instrument."
"Another opposing voice came from fans of Yue Shao and other popular contestants."
"In this set of pictures, some highly popular contestants stand at the edge, while some less popular contestants occupy a more central position because of their musical instrument reminders."
"Of course, for the netizens who were just watching the fun, they were even more surprised by the fact that the covers of the five major magazines, which are usually hailed as the best, are actually not as good-looking as those taken by many internet celebrities."
The students nodded one after another. This was the most popular thought after the cover came out.
Like the previous Yue Shao, their cover photos were always stunningly beautiful. But this time, they didn't have enough space to express themselves, which made the finished product look a bit mediocre.
"Many people may not know that the Big Five magazines are never about the best photography, but rather about their close relationships with luxury brands. They truly represent prestige, that mysterious thing."
"From a photographic perspective, this photo is just average and above average. But from a meaningful perspective, it's probably one that we won't be able to avoid for many years to come."
After listening to the analysis, Tang Yue immediately felt relieved.
It seems that no one is scolding them, but there are some more extreme fans who think that this event is just other contestants trying to take advantage of the popularity of these four people.
"But I saw someone say that this cover was over-hyped, and the final result was too ordinary." Lin Xuan'er said softly, "Thankfully, no one scolded us."
"But don't I look beautiful holding my pipa?" Su Yin said helplessly, "It can only be said that there are too many people."
"Yeah," Wang Xingrui said softly, "but if there weren't so many people, I probably wouldn't get such treatment."
"However," Tang Yue smiled, "they certainly couldn't imagine that our focus this time is actually a fashion blockbuster, right?"
