Since Baird posted the three fashion show videos online, Lin Dan has become busy. She receives countless work calls every day, some of which are invitations to appear on magazine covers, some are about advertising shoots, and some are about fashion shows. She originally thought she was just a model, but recently she found that she seemed to have become a traffic star.
Bolsa was almost crazy with joy. He would press left and right on a calculator every day, and then shout excitedly: "Lin, we can buy the most luxurious apartment in New York. Lin, we are rich, hahahaha!"
Lin Dan's savings increased day by day, but she just treated it as a string of numbers. When she had no money, she tried desperately to make money. Now that she had money, she became calmer and even transferred some huge sums of money to charity. She thought: I must have had enough money in the past, otherwise I wouldn’t have developed this habit.
That day, after she finished two shows, she received a call from the editor-in-chief of Jiaren magazine backstage. The other party sounded a little excited and said, "Lin, can you do me a favor? I want to teach the new executive editor a lesson."
Thinking of the time when he was stood up by Jiaren Magazine, Lin Dan asked with interest, "What happened?"
"It's like this," the female editor lowered her voice and said, "Didn't I tell you last time that the new executive editor disagreed with my suggestion of using you as the cover model and found a more famous model instead? Guess who that person is."
Lin Dan raised her eyebrows and asked, "Could it be Zhong Yuxiu?" Apart from Zhong Yuxiu and Kong Bangchen, she didn't seem to have offended anyone in the fashion circle, so it wasn't worth it for the female editor to call her personally to tell her the inside story.
"You guessed it right, it's her. The executive editor overturned my suggestion. When everyone voted at the meeting, except me, everyone voted for Zhong Yuxiu. But who would have thought that in just half a month, your popularity would completely surpass Zhong Yuxiu, and even Baird loves you so much. Oh my God, I watched the video he posted on Instagram. When you walked behind Zhong Yuxiu, she immediately became a transparent person. All eyes were on you. You are the well-deserved main show. You know, you have completely replaced her position. Although your income is far less than hers, one day you will surpass her. This year's supermodel rankings will start again. The judges are not blind. I think you will definitely be on the list."
Lin Dan said calmly: "Then what?"
The female editor-in-chief said smugly, "The executive editor abandoned you and chose Zhong Yuxiu. Now your popularity has completely reversed. The editor-in-chief doubts his business ability and asked me to take over some of his work. Honey, please help me shoot the cover of this issue. Let's replace Zhong Yuxiu."
"You want me to take Zhong Yuxiu's job?" Lin Dan repeated.
"Yes, is there a problem?" the female editor asked uncertainly.
"No problem, I'd be happy to." Lin Dan chuckled.
"Okay, we will shoot the cover in Milan. I've brought my team here. See you tomorrow morning at nine." The female editor was about to hang up the phone when she heard Lin Dan say, "Wait a minute."
"Is there anything else, dear?" The female editor was very patient.
Lin Dan flipped through Zhong Yuxiu's personal homepage and looked at the Instagram she posted a while ago about becoming the cover model of Jiaren magazine. She chuckled and said, "Can you post the news that I'm the cover model on your magazine's Instagram? I need to promote it."
"Of course you can. I'll do it right away!" Lin Dan was trying to take advantage of Baird's popularity, so there was no reason for the female editor-in-chief to refuse. She quickly announced the news, and Lin Dan forwarded it, then sent a private message to Zhong Yuxiu, with just two simple words - thank you.
It is impolite not to reciprocate. Lin Dan never takes the initiative to cause trouble, but he is not afraid of it either.
…………
The next day, Lin Dan walked into the studio and looked at the photographer with surprise. The photographer was concentrating on adjusting the camera, looking very professional.
"Mr. Dodge, why are you here?" she asked, taking two steps forward.
"In the early days, I shot all my own work. Believe me, my skills are very good," Auston said without looking up.
The editor-in-chief quickly explained, "Lin, Mr. Dodge is a very famous photographer in the industry, but his reputation as a designer is so great that most people don't notice this. Hearing that you are our model, he took the initiative to find us and asked to be the photographer. Lin, I am so grateful to you this time, you are my lucky goddess!"
"No, you should thank Mr. Dodge, and so should I." Lin Dan stretched out his hand with a sincere tone. She knows only too well how important a good photographer is to a model.
Auston immediately put down the camera, held her hand tightly, and did not let go until ten seconds later.
The female editor asked her assistant to bring all the clothes and jewelry needed for the photo shoot for Lin Dan and Austin to review. Lin Dan did not express any opinion, but Auston frowned and said, "No, these things do not match Lin Dan at all. You failed to capture her charm. My camera only takes pictures of the most beautiful people or things, never of defective products."
These things were already the best sponsorship the editor-in-chief could find, and she really couldn't do anything better. Austin didn't negotiate with her too much. He just called his assistant and asked him to transport his private collection over. In less than forty minutes, a truck drove up outside the studio, and a group of armed security personnel escorted two safes and several huge gift boxes into the dressing room.
"What is this?" The female editor was dazzled by the opened safe as soon as she finished speaking. It was full of dazzling jewelry, including ruby necklaces, sapphire rings, emerald brooches, diamond earrings, etc. The two gift boxes were filled with high-end dresses, each worth more than 100,000 US dollars.
Without a doubt, this is the most expensive photo shoot since the founding of Jiaren magazine, bar none. These things combined are enough to buy an entire block!
All the staff present stared at the jewelry and clothes with burning eyes, their mouths dry and their hearts pounding. Only Lin Dan had a calm expression and remained unmoved. For some reason, no matter how much wealth she has, it is just a string of numbers in her eyes.
Auston looked at her deeply, bowed and said, "Lin, please allow me to choose clothes and jewelry for you. I said that my camera only captures the most beautiful people and things in the world."
Such a humble and polite Auston really made Lin Dan a little uncomfortable. She lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then said bluntly: "Mr. Dodge, you flatter me too much. Do you have a request for me?"
"We'll talk about this later." Auston lowered his eyelids uncomfortably.
In this way, Lin Dan felt relieved. He walked to the dressing mirror and said, "Please come in, Mr. Dodge. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation this time."
"Yes, I will let you know how pleasant it is to work with me." These words seemed to touch Auston's heart, making his dark green eyes instantly become extremely clear.
He is very happy, Lin Dan thought silently.
Auston hung dresses one after another on the rack and asked Lin Dan to try them on. He kept the ones that fit him and put aside the ones that didn't. His emerald green eyes were fixed on Lin Dan, and he did not move away for even a second even when she went behind the curtain. He seemed to enjoy staring at Lin Dan, and the corners of his mouth, which were always pursed into a straight line, suddenly curled up. He would also personally take out the needle and thread to help Lin Dan correct the inappropriate parts.
After trying on the makeup, he took out the jewelry boxes one by one, placed them neatly on the dressing table, and then tried them on Lin Dan himself. He leaned over and got closer to see the effect of the jewelry against Lin Dan's skin, his eyes full of complete appreciation and pleasure. He was like a child who received a Barbie doll as a gift for the first time. He wanted to put the best jewelry and the most beautiful clothes in the world on Lin Dan. He even disassembled a sapphire necklace into small parts just to decorate Lin Dan's jet-black hair with them.
"So beautiful, my dear, you are so beautiful!" During the fitting process, he exclaimed more than once, his emerald green eyes filled with bright and joyful light. This was the first time since Zhong Yuxiu left that he felt what it was like to be filled with inspiration and have an explosion of creativity. He would stop from time to time and draw sketches of clothing in a notebook. Obviously, he is a genius at multitasking.
Lin Dan has always admired people who work hard and respected the fruits of their labor, so even though Auston always asked her to try on dresses and jewelry repeatedly, she did not show any sign of fatigue. She was very cooperative, constantly spinning, sitting, lying down, and posing in various styles, and even agreed to Auston's suggestion to cut her bangs.
They worked on it for several hours but hadn't yet entered the official shooting stage. However, no one urged them, because everyone gradually realized that after being carefully dressed up by Austin, Lin Dan actually exuded amazing charm, and she was already beautiful enough!
"Perfect! That's it! Those figures that appeared in my dreams were you!" Looking at Lin Dan who had finished trying on the clothes, Auston was stunned.
"Can we start filming now?" Lin Dan asked in a low voice.
"Ah, sure!" Aston woke up as if from a dream, and quickly picked up the camera, but then he thought of something, dipped his little finger in a little lipstick, and applied it on Lin Dan's lower lip. Feeling the warmth and softness at his fingertips, he stiffened slightly for a moment, and his emerald green pupils were unconsciously stained with a hint of ink.
However, Lin Dan's black and white eyes were looking at her. There was no trace of impurities in them, only the seriousness and solemnity in work, which made him sober up quickly.
"Start shooting." He withdrew his fingertips, his voice hoarse.
Lin Dan, wearing a transparent tulle, tight-fitting, backless fishtail long dress, slowly walked to an arched door in the interior studio. All the lights were dimmed, except for a soft light behind her. The faint white light shone through the thin gauze skirt, outlining her perfect body curves. The countless diamonds arranged on the gauze were like stars, and her loose black hair was also dotted with stardust faintly. It was dark all around, but she alone gathered all the colors and light.
Auston stared at her for a long time, then pressed the shutter. This is a star that will eventually shine, and it is also his muse.
