A small pane of glass had fallen off in one corner of the stained glass window. The blazing sunlight streamed in through the gap, shining unadorned light onto Ye Chu's back, landing squarely on her heart.
This beam of sunlight was bright and sharp, like a white iron chain, piercing right through Ye Chu's heart!
Ye Chu's face was reflected in the baptismal pool. Because of the ripples in the water, it appeared slightly distorted and indistinct.
This double-page spread features a rare, steeply overhead angle. Such an angle is extremely difficult to capture and could easily exhaust a photographer. Fortunately, the final product made all the hard work worthwhile.
The entire cast and crew of "Half the Sky" were invited, practically turning the magazine into a special edition for the TV series. Qi Ming, the eldest and most esteemed, followed closely behind Shang Yechu. Dressed in a dark green evening gown, she exuded elegance and grace. Her white hair did not diminish her charm; rather, it added a touch of sophistication to the magazine.
Following Qi Ming, Shi Shan was dressed in a classic earth-toned outfit that never goes wrong. He looked relaxed and at ease. Shooting Shi Shan was quite easy; he had been invited by Muse magazine more times than everyone else in the crew combined, so he was already very familiar with the process.
As for Xue Haodong, Ou Yang, and others, they didn't receive such good treatment. They were all filmed in small groups of two or three.
Photos of Ye Chu with everyone are scattered throughout the magazine.
Qi Ming sat in a chair, while Ye Chu sat diagonally on the floor, resting her head on Qi Ming's lap. Qi Ming lovingly stroked Ye Chu's hair, while Ye Chu closed her eyes, feigning a slightly relaxed expression.
Xue Haodong and Ye Chu stood facing each other, face to face, each extending one hand and making a pinky hook gesture with the other. In TV dramas, this gesture signifies "a deal is done." However, the two did not look at each other. Ye Chu looked down at Xue Haodong's pocket; Xue Haodong, on the other hand, looked up at the void above Ye Chu's head, as if observing some being.
The photo of Ou Yang, who plays Cheng Daiqing, and Ye Chu is also quite interesting—the two are walking back to back, one heading south and the other north. However, their facial expressions, body movements, and even the amplitude of their arm swings are identical. The image has a strange sense of symmetry. Apart from their different clothing, they are practically mirror images of each other.
Chu Zixin, who plays Di Ting, is sitting in a chair, reading a book with his head down. Ye Chu stands behind him, reaches out a hand, and covers Chu Zixin's eyes, but only one.
However, the most surprising thing was the photo of Shi Shan and Ye Chu together.
Ye Chu and Shi Shan stood embracing, and Shi Shan bit Ye Chu's shoulder. This gesture was already daring in a magazine photoshoot. *Muse* magazine accompanied the photos with three different angles, showcasing the action from multiple perspectives.
From an outsider's perspective, Shi Shan buried his head on Ye Chu's shoulder, and Ye Chu gently embraced him, a very intimate pose.
From Shi Shan's perspective, he could see Shi Shan biting Ye Chu's shoulder tightly, his face contorted in pain and despair, like a vampire sucking frozen blood.
From Ye Chu's perspective...
Ye Chu frowned slightly, a look of pity on her face. She embraced Shi Shan, like the Virgin Mary holding the infant Jesus.
The illustrations in this magazine are all of high quality, each with its own unique charm. However, the photo of Shi Shan and Ye Chu together still manages to leave a lasting impression. It received the green light from the magazine editorial staff and went straight to the final draft.
Storytelling, visual appeal, dramatic tension, artistry, and style are all perfectly blended in this issue of *Muse* magazine. Combined with the popularity of *Half a Day* and Ye Chu's fame, a massive hit is not out of the question.
However, the sales of this issue of Muse magazine still exceeded everyone's expectations!
Within one minute of going on sale, sales exceeded 80,000. Ten minutes later, sales had surpassed 260,000. Countless people flooded the sales mini-program for "Muse" magazine, crashing the app.
The price of "Muse" is 40 yuan per copy, which means that in just ten minutes, the sales volume has exceeded 10 million yuan!
In an era of declining print media, such sales figures are nothing short of miraculous. Moreover, offline sales figures haven't even been included.
The first batch of fans who managed to buy Muse magazine in physical stores immediately started posting reports online, sparking a frenzy that swept the entire internet!
