Chapter 99 I'll Teach Him
The bus drove all the way and took the trainees to the shooting location.
The trainees jumped out of the car one after another, looking at the building in front of them with amazement on their faces.
"Is this where we're going to shoot today?"
"Wow, the sponsor is really rich!"
…
"You are the trainees for the filming of 'Star Journey' this time, right?"
A young lady who looked like an assistant came up, looked at her phone, then looked at the group of young and energetic trainees in front of her, and nodded.
"Come with me, I'll take you to the building - thank you, thank you Tinglan!" The young lady's tone suddenly rose.
She widened her eyes and looked at the last person who got off the bus in shock, and her voice was so shocked that it turned a corner.
She looked down at her phone, then looked up at Xie Tinglan who was getting off the bus.
No...the higher-ups hadn't told her that Xie Tinglan would be coming today! The person handing over the work to her just said, "Zhou Xubai can't come; the production team has replaced him with someone else." That was it. She thought the production team had replaced him with a new staff member to lead the team, but who would have thought it would be Xie Tinglan!
What’s the difference between this and opening a blind box and getting a hidden item!
The assistant looked around like a thief, and before the passers-by could react to what was happening, she quickly led a group of people into the building.
As she led the group into the elevator, she explained today's procedures to the trainees. However, as she spoke, her eyes kept darting to the elevator wall and Xie Tinglan's reflection.
"Ding—" the elevator arrived. The door opened, and the assistant stepped out first. "I'll take you to the dressing room first..."
The stylists were already waiting. Today's shoot for the trainees was just a flat photoshoot, so the content was relatively simple. The stylists had already obtained the trainees' profiles and designed their looks, and as soon as they arrived, they sat them down in front of the makeup mirror.
After everyone had packed up, the assistant led them through the corridor and into the studio.
The huge ring fill light has been set up and the color of the background cloth has been changed.
"Who will go first?" The photographer who was already waiting there looked around at all the trainees, his eyes revealing satisfaction with their appearance.
The trainees looked at each other, some not sure whether they should be the first to go up at this time.
At this time, a mentor is needed.
"Let's go in order of ranking..." Xie Tinglan called the name of the trainee who ranked first after the second public performance and joked, "You go up first and set an example for the rest of us..."
The top-ranked trainee went up with a smile on his face. The other trainees also breathed a sigh of relief.
I have to say, the first place deserves to be the first place!
Xia Linxing looked at the other person posing with ease under the guidance of the photographer, and a hint of envy appeared in his eyes.
"Are you nervous?" Shen Sibai walked behind Xia Linxing without knowing when, lowered his head and asked in a low voice.
"A little bit..." Xia Linxing watched the other trainees' filming without blinking and nodded slowly.
"Don't worry." Shen Sibai came over to teach Xia Linxing some shooting techniques. Although his actual shooting experience... well, it was also zero, his theoretical experience was still very rich!
"Then you just need to..."
Shen Sibai broke down the content of the training that the studio had given him bit by bit and explained it to Xia Linxing in detail.
Hearing Xia Linxing nodding repeatedly, he felt that he had become incredibly strong after inputting a wave of theoretical knowledge!
Then--
“Stop! Stop!”
The photographer poked his head out from behind the camera and looked speechlessly at Xia Linxing who was standing innocently at the shooting spot.
"Xia, Xia Linxing, right..." He rubbed his temples and felt a headache: "Are you too nervous..."
He looked through the photos he had just taken of Xia Linxing.
How should I put it? It's not ugly, after all, Xia Linxing's face is there. However, at first glance, Xia Linxing's photo looks exquisite, but if you look closely, you will find that although Xia Linxing's mouth corners are trying hard to rise, the smile only stays at the muscle level and does not reach the eyes at all.
It's like a puppet that has been forced to have a smiling expression painted on it, with no spirituality at all.
What's worse is that Xia Linxing's eyes are vague - his eyes are clearly facing the camera, but his pupils seem to be out of focus; if Xia Linxing had not reacted quickly and followed his instructions to complete every action he said, the photographer would have thought that Xia Linxing had lost his concentration halfway through the shoot just by looking at the photos.
He enlarged the photo of Xia Linxing a little.
His chin was deliberately tightened, and his fingertips were unnaturally tense due to excessive control... The photographer shook his head.
Such photos are not qualified.
"No, sorry..." Xia Linxing was also a little at a loss.
He is not too unfamiliar with the camera.
After all, he has already participated in two performances and has gradually become accustomed to having cameras surrounding him while singing and dancing.
But shooting this kind of formal print advertising... the experience is still different:
Because during the performance, he was completely focused on completing his performance without making any mistakes, and he didn't have the energy to pay attention to the camera lenses around him.
Moreover, during the performance, the camera will basically capture the images by itself, so Xia Linxing doesn't need to pay special attention to it, and the presence of the camera is not that strong.
But now it’s different—
The studio was surrounded by staff from the sponsor, and other trainees who had already finished filming were waiting to watch. All the lights were focused on him alone, and Xia Linxing couldn't help but get nervous.
Especially when the filming was still frozen action, every time he saw the black hole in the lens, he didn't know what expression to make, and the only thing in his mind was a stiff and ugly smile.
"Speaking of which..."
A trainee who was watching suddenly whispered, "I remember Xia Linxing...I think she became famous because she was shy in front of the camera..."
"Huh? Now that you mention it..."
The other trainees also reacted, as if this was indeed the case: when Xia Linxing was filming the theme song, she was shy and embarrassed when interacting with the camera. At that time, they were a little jealous of Xia Linxing's direct shot playback volume.
Wait, if you look at it this way... They looked at Xia Linxing, who was standing in front of the camera, so embarrassed that he didn't know where to put his hands and feet, with a look of shock on his face.
At that time... he wasn't just acting?!
They watched as the photographer adjusted Xia Linxing several times, but the results were still stiff.
As time passed, they all began to worry about Xia Linxing.
"How about this..."
Xie Tinglan, who had been silent and interrupting the filming, suddenly said, "Let the other trainees who haven't filmed yet do it..."
Xia Linxing slumped his shoulders in frustration and silently walked away from the camera. He knew he was slowing down everyone's progress, so Xie Tinglan was right to let the photographer skip him.
"Xia Linxing, let me teach him."
He heard Xie Tinglan continue.
