On his third day in France, Wei Changfeng was still working.
After finishing the brand event yesterday, I have three magazine shoots to do today.
Fortunately, I was in great shape when I woke up, and the first shoot could begin immediately.
The magazine initially chose the Champs-Élysées area as the location, but considering that there were many tourists there and they wanted to shoot a series of photos with a serene atmosphere, they changed the shooting location at the last minute.
The location was in the private garden of the Ritz Hotel. The magazine submitted a shooting request to the hotel, which quickly agreed.
The hotel garden covers an area of 10,000 square meters, which is not too big but not small either.
Of course, judging size depends on the reference point. Compared to the Castel family's private residence on the outskirts of Paris yesterday, this garden is as small as a pigeon coop.
Makeup artist Xiaomin finally came in handy. As the company's exclusive makeup artist, she had worked with him many times before, so she was very skilled at doing Wei Changfeng's makeup and styling, and quickly got it done.
The editor selected three outfits: one was the haute couture gown he wore to yesterday's event, one was brought to him from China by his agent Zhao Hui, and the other was provided by the magazine, on the condition that the outfit could not be a high-end competitor of the French brand he endorses in the Asia-Pacific region.
Once the styling was complete and the clothes were on, the magazine's editors and photographers were very satisfied.
The photographer kept praising Changfeng while taking pictures, saying, "Changfeng, you're a natural clothes hanger!"
Wei Changfeng is the type of person who gets better the more he is praised. He received strong affirmation from the other party. Coupled with his confidence in his figure and temperament, he posed with ease, no less than a professional model, and rarely needed prompts or adjustments from the photographer.
Editors and agents review the photos on a nearby computer, filtering them as needed.
Because Wei Changfeng takes such good photos, the shoot was over in less than two hours.
The next shoot took place in front of the Paris Opera, very close to the hotel.
Just like the first shoot, it went smoothly, and the photoshoots for both magazines were completed before noon.
When the second shoot was finished, the editor asked Wei Changfeng for his personal WeChat account.
The other person's phone had already opened the QR code scanning interface, so he had no choice but to take out his phone as well.
Xiao Hao saw this and hurriedly said, "Sis, I'll add you, I'll add you."
The female editor, who appeared to be around thirty-four or thirty-five years old and had a sharp, professional look, glanced at Xiao Hao and smiled: "I have yours, and I also have Zhao Hui's."
"What, is Changfeng's WeChat contact information still being kept secret? You know, Professor Chen Ximing and Professor Liu Xihua from Hong Kong both give us their contact information."
These two individuals are undoubtedly top figures in the industry, both in terms of professional ethics and acting skills. What else would anyone dare to say?
Wei Changfeng narrowed his eyes and smiled, revealing his signature white teeth, before obediently handing over the WeChat QR code.
"Please scan this QR code. This is my personal account. I'll also send you the one the company account runs. The company account posts a lot of content, but I'm extremely lazy and rarely use my personal account."
Everyone in this industry is shrewd; they all understand the meaning behind these platitudes. However, the objective had been achieved, and Wei Changfeng was extremely polite, so the editor responded with a smile, "We'll confirm with you before publication, don't worry."
"That's right, that's right, you can rest assured." Zhao Hui also came over and said with a smile.
Compared to the entertainment industry, the media industry is generally more reliable. Wei Changfeng has the contact information of many reporters and editors, and many people also have his contact information.
But aside from work, they never bother each other, respecting each other and maintaining a polite distance.
Of course, people exchange greetings during the Lunar New Year, and the New Year's gifts that artists' studios send to major media outlets, especially editors-in-chief, are also quite valuable.
But the entertainment industry is much more troublesome, especially when it comes to people with significant status. You can't afford to offend them, but sometimes you have no choice but to, unless you don't even want to stick to your bottom line.
In particular, investors and advertisers have repeatedly arranged to meet with Wei Changfeng privately without going through his brokerage firm, under the guise of discussing important business deals.
Wei Changfeng's principles are very clear: he is not a sole proprietor; he has a brokerage company and agents.
Since it's business, let's talk it over a desk, not a dinner table, with the company and its leaders. He can't make the decisions on his own.
Another time, there was a very talented female producer in the industry with extensive social connections and networks.
Once, she invited him to dinner for her birthday, but she scheduled it for late at night.
Seeing that this man was not someone to be trifled with, the agency sent their boss, Wu Fei, to personally accompany Wei Changfeng to deliver a very valuable gift. Then, using the excuse that the director was still waiting on set all night, they took him away.
With the boss personally protecting them and giving them ample face and courtesy, the other party didn't make any further unreasonable demands.
However, it's unlikely that she can expect any more collaborations or investments in this area in the future.
Xiao Hao was well aware of these common occurrences in the entertainment industry, so if anyone wanted to add Wei Changfeng's private contact information, his first reaction was to take the blame himself and try to smooth things over.
Unlike some agencies and artists who are wary of each other and afraid that they will take on private jobs, Wei Changfeng and his agency have a very trusting relationship, so the company protects him very well.
After everyone had left, Xiao Hao said sullenly, "I couldn't stop you earlier. You already have my and Hui-ge's WeChat, why would you need to add me?"
Wei Changfeng patted his head and said with a smile, "You're overthinking it. There aren't that many people with ulterior motives in the world."
People add me because they want to communicate about work as soon as possible.
For example, the photos that the photographer and editor are most satisfied with may not be the ones that Hui Ge and I are most satisfied with.
