The shoot was originally scheduled for half a day, but Auston continued shooting until 9:30 in the evening and had not yet finished. However, the female editor had no complaints and was instead very excited. She stared at the dazzlingly beautiful samples and her face turned red with excitement. Lin Dan had been cooperating with Auston's requests, going into the water when asked and hanging in the air when asked, without ever complaining.
By the end of the filming, the staff were almost exhausted, but Auston was getting more and more crazy. He even made a phone call and asked his assistant to find a way to borrow a box of diamonds.
"Boss, what did you say? I think I was hallucinating just now. Can you please say it again?" The assistant was so scared that he spoke incoherently.
"I ask you to borrow a box of diamonds. Go to the bank, my partner, my father or mother, no matter who you go to. I want a box of diamonds now! Not the kind of box for jewelry, but a big box, a six-foot square box!" Austin said with emphasis.
Lin Dan sat beside him expressionlessly, but was deeply shocked. It was the first time she saw how terrible workaholics were. When they had inspiration, they would think of anything.
"Boss, are you crazy?" The assistant asked the question that everyone wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask.
"Find a solution for me immediately, otherwise you can quit tomorrow." Austin said word by word.
"Boss, please wait a moment." The assistant hung up the phone immediately because he still had a mortgage to pay.
"Mr. Dodge, I'm afraid no one can take out such a big box of diamonds in one go. You see, a loan contract needs to be drawn up, security personnel responsible for transportation need to be hired temporarily, and lawyers, accountants, appraisers, and bank vault managers all need to come together. It's a huge project. Why don't we just forget about it today? Anyway, we have taken a lot of wonderful photos, which are more than enough." The female editor spoke cautiously.
"No, I must realize this idea. I have a feeling that this will definitely be the most beautiful set of photos I have ever taken in my life." Auston did not give in.
His status in the fashion circle is too high, and the female editor has no way to compete with him and can only choose to remain silent. Lin Dan is just a model and has no right to speak.
The studio was very quiet, with the only sound being the sound of Auston clicking his mouse. He was checking several sets of photos he had taken earlier. His frown gradually relaxed and he looked very satisfied. Only beautiful things can make him feel happy. Since Zhong Yuxiu left, he hasn't been able to give full play to his inspiration for a long time.
While waiting for the assistant to call back, the female editor asked someone to buy a lot of coffee. She had a feeling that Auston would suffer a blow tonight. Which fool would be willing to lend a box of diamonds?
However, a miracle happened. Within half an hour, the assistant called and said excitedly, "Boss, wait a minute. The person delivering the diamonds will be here soon."
The coffee cup in the female editor's hand almost fell to the ground, and even Lin Dan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. There is actually someone willing to lend so many diamonds, could it be fake?
Another twenty minutes later, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, an oversized truck slowly stopped outside the studio. The rear door opened, and many mercenaries armed with live ammunition ran out. After reconnaissance of all the main roads and exits, a small trailer carrying a six-foot square silver metal box slowly drove out of the garage.
A Rolls-Royce came out from behind the truck. A mercenary ran over to open the door, only to see Baird step out expressionlessly. He was wearing an extremely luxurious haute couture suit, his hair meticulously combed back, revealing an extremely handsome face.
Everyone was staring at the silver box, but he was the only one searching for the beautiful figure in the crowd. Ah, I saw it. She was wearing a tight pink halter dress with many tiny silk flowers dotted on the hem. She also had a wreath on her head. Her black hair was tied into a lazy bun, and a strand of curly hair hung down on her cheek, which was caught by her plump lips when blown by the wind.
Baird's eyes flickered, and he suddenly felt a little jealous of that strand of hair. He glanced at his clothes inconspicuously, making sure there was nothing wrong before striding over.
"Hello, Mr. Adams!" The female editor looked at him at a loss, but found that his gaze passed through everyone and fell directly on Lin Dan. It was not until this moment that she understood where this box of diamonds came from. It was not because of Auston’s great power, but because Lin Dan’s suitors were too fanatical!
"Hello," Baird finally gave her a look with a cold tone, then nodded slightly: "Mr. Dodge, I brought what you wanted." Finally, he looked at Lin Dan again, his eyes were as deep as the sea, and his tone instantly became gentle: "Hello, Miss Lin, we meet again."
"Hello, thank you for supporting me on Instagram." Lin Dan smiled, his eyes bright.
Baird's ears turned red, and he whispered, "This is what I should do."
The atmosphere between the two was clearly unfamiliar, yet tacit and warm. For some reason, Auston felt a little uncomfortable. He frowned and said in a deep voice, "Go in. It's not safe to stand outside."
"Okay, okay, let's go in quickly." The female editor-in-chief was as if she had been pardoned, and hurriedly pulled Lin Dan into the studio. Wherever this person goes, the two gentlemen must follow, there is no mistake! After entering the dressing room, she looked at the two huge safes and gift boxes brought by Austin, and then looked at the silver metal box lifted up by eight mercenaries, and suddenly felt her legs go weak. She bet that tonight, her studio was worth more than a bank, absolutely!
"To ensure the safety of the diamond, let's start shooting as soon as possible. Lin, go change into that black dress, and I'll talk to Mr. Adams." Auston said decisively.
After Lin Dan walked behind the curtain, he could clearly hear the conversation between several people.
Auston said frankly: "My concept is diamond rain. Lin is wearing a black dress and standing in a dark studio. Only a spotlight is shining on her head. Countless diamonds are falling from her head..."
"Please wait a moment," Baird's assistant confirmed, "Do you mean to say that you are going to sprinkle our diamonds over Ms. Lin's head?"
Fortunately, the female editor was not drinking coffee, otherwise she would have sprayed it out. Even Lin Dan, who was changing clothes, almost lost her balance and fell out of the curtain on the spot. With so many diamonds scattered on the ground, it would be easy for them to roll into the corner and be lost. How could Auston dare to do that? A female star once took a similar photo, also using real diamonds, but she put the diamonds in a bathtub so that they were easier to keep. If Austin's idea is followed, the photos will definitely be beautiful, but no one can guarantee whether all the diamonds can be recovered. This idea is crazy!
The assistant immediately rejected the idea: "That won't work! Do you know how much the diamonds we brought are worth? It's 260 million US dollars."
The female editor couldn't help but shudder. She thought she was used to big scenes, but only today did she understand what luxury meant.
Auston sneered, "I know they are valuable, but so what? I only care whether Lin is beautiful or not."
As he spoke, Lin Dan had already walked out from behind the curtain. She felt that she needed to express her opinion. After all, those were diamonds worth more than 200 million yuan. If one was lost, she would be held jointly liable. So she decided to just forget it.
But before she could speak, Auston pointed at her and said, "See? She is wearing this long black dress, standing in the dark, with only a faint light above her head. The long skirt is like a black pool of water crawling at her feet. Countless diamonds are falling from her head, but she is looking ahead with an arrogant look. There are countless shining diamonds around her, but none of them can take away her brilliance. Isn't that a beautiful scene?"
Very beautiful, and very expensive! Lin Dan wanted to hold his forehead and sigh. She thought Baird would definitely reject this crazy proposal, but he looked at her deeply with his bright purple eyes, nodded and said, "It's beautiful, let's take the photo."
what? Are you crazy? Are you two crazy? The female editor wanted to strangle Auston and Baird by the neck and question them loudly. This idea is really wonderful, but what if the diamond falls and rolls into the corner and is lost? What should I do if someone picks it up and keeps it for myself? What should I do if someone robs me? Don't you guys consider the safety issue?
Lin Dan prided himself on being able to remain calm even when faced with a mountain collapse, but at this moment he couldn't help but reveal an expression of astonishment.
Baird walked up to her and whispered, "I want to see a scene like that. It doesn't matter what, as long as you are beautiful."
"No, please..." Lin Dan said hurriedly, but he bent down and picked up her long skirt for her, and smiled, "I will sprinkle diamond rain for you with my own hands, okay?"
Lin Dan: “…”
"Can I? Can I have that honor?" Baird asked very seriously.
Lin Dan finally gave in and waved his hand, saying, "No, this should be my honor."
Baird breathed a sigh of relief, then carefully helped her hold the hem of her skirt in her arms and walked her to the shooting location, constantly reminding her: "Be careful where you step, there are tracks and your heels may get stuck. This lamp will catch your hair, wait a moment, I'll move it a little."
Lin Dan kept thanking him, with a very reserved attitude, but for some reason, the tips of her ears felt a little hot.
As Auston adjusted his camera while staring at the two of them, his frenetic desire to work was slightly reduced. But the diamonds had already been delivered, and it seemed unreasonable to let someone else take them away. He could only suppress this strange feeling.
The boss has agreed, so there is no point for the assistant to worry. He could only lay a thick black soft carpet on the shooting site, move all the objects away, and erect a one-foot-high barrier around it so that he could quickly collect the diamonds when they fell.
Dozens of mercenaries silently loaded their guns, but they were quite expectant. They haven't seen diamond rain yet.
"Is this how you lay the skirt?" Baird helped Lin Dan walk to the black soft carpet, then squatted down and carefully arranged her gorgeous and wide skirt into a neat circle. Auston put down the camera and said impatiently, "Stand aside, I'll do it."
Baird did not listen to him and continued to squat beside Lin Dan, silently helping her to tidy up her skirt.
At the same time, the assistant opened the silver metal box, exposing countless dazzling diamonds to the light. The female editor stretched her neck to take a look and couldn't help but choke on her breath. She had a hunch that she would take the most dazzling and gorgeous set of photos in the history of Beauty magazine, and would also create a sales miracle!
