Don't think I'm just a sheep

Zhuo Yijing needs to take a cover photo for a well-known fashion magazine today. If it goes well, he will become the first singer to appear on the cover of this magazine. Before this, except for models, there were only a few popular actors. With a good popularity and figure, he has been featured in magazines, among which Liu Xiyue is the only non-professional person published on the cover.

Apart from the identity of rival in love, even Zhuo Yijing has to admit that the other party is a very good and dedicated actor. The two have been in the same company for several years, and have met several times on various occasions. He always feels gentle and polite, full of the intellectual charm of a mature man, and he tried to comfort himself before, losing to such a person is not too embarrassing.

As for himself, when Xu Shunli told him about this job, he couldn't understand it at all. If there is still a little connection between an actor and a graphic model, taking his status as a singer for so many years, he really has nothing to do with fashion.

Even if he has a face that can still be accepted by the public, with his poor print advertisement shooting experience and his thin body in the eyes of outsiders, it is by no means enough to be listed in this heavyweight magazine in the fashion circle .

Even when he was on vacation for half a month and missed the originally agreed shooting time, the other party still insisted on using him as the cover character, so they did not hesitate to change the order of the magazine's topics and readjusted his shooting time.

It wasn't until the two of them arrived at the studio and met the photographer in charge of this shoot, who was also the global creative director of the magazine, Bernard, that Zhuo Yijing finally understood why he was the one to do this shoot.

Zhuo Yijing wrote a song when he first debuted. The song described the confusion of a lamb wandering alone in the world after the owner passed away. This song was not appreciated by many people at that time. Among the records that Zhang set the sales record for the first album of Chinese singers at that time, it can even be said to be the most inconspicuous one.

But Bernard likes it very much, and based on this, he extended his creativity, and this time the magazine theme - "Lonely Song".

Bernard showed them the inside pages taken by professional models before. The models wore simple solid-color T-shirts and boxers, with no extra decoration on the whole body. They only relied on posture and affection to show the loneliness and sadness of animals when they lost their owners.

"For the cover of this issue, we plan to use 'sheep' to interpret." Bernard looked at Zhuo Yijing and said: "I have listened to your song no less than a thousand times, and in my heart, no one is more suitable than you Create the image of this 'sheep'."

Bernard is of Chinese-French mixed race. At this time, the blue-green eyes that are different from Chinese are looking at him without blinking.

Zhuo Yijing nodded without showing too much emotion. After greeting politely, she quickly turned around and entered the dressing room.

Animals have always had a sharper perception than humans. When Bernard looked at him, he clearly noticed the flash of inquiry in the other's eyes, but he didn't know whether this interest was specific to him or to his works. .

The clothing prepared by the magazine for Zhuo Yijing is a milky white T-shirt, which is slightly different from the ones worn by the models on the inside page just now, perhaps because the 'sheep' does not need to show too strong a sense of strength, this one of his The T-shirt was so loose that one could even see a large white chest through the open neckline.

The lower body is the same as the others, and has prepared a pair of unopened boxer briefs, which are also milky white.

Not a professional model, Zhuo Yijing was unaccustomed to walking out of the dressing room dressed like this.

Seeing him coming out, Xu Shunli went up to meet him first, and whispered next to him: "This suit fits your temperament very well. I heard that Bernard personally chose the style and clothing for you. It seems that the title of the top photographer in the industry , and it’s a well-deserved reputation.”

Zhuo Yijing glanced at the mirror on the other side, but didn't express any opinion, but relaxed her body a little.

At this time, Bernard also ended his communication with another photographer, and walked towards this end, "How is it, does the clothes still fit?"

"Fit, I'll leave it to you, Ah Jing. The big photographer should take more care of our newcomers." After Xu Shunli finished speaking, he confessed to Zhuo Yijing: "Call me in advance when it's over, and I'll take care of you." You go to TV rehearsal."

"it is good"

A newcomer in the company who has not yet appeared in public is currently participating in a talent show held by Channel H. In the chorus part of the semi-finals, she won a classic song by Zhuo Yijing, and the company arranged for Zhuo Yijing to come on stage and compete with her. She sang in a chorus, which was regarded as supporting the newcomer, and also allowing him, who has not been working for a while, to show his face in front of the audience.

Zhuo Yijing frowned after answering, and silently calculated the time to go home at night, thinking that she would have to send Liang Yusheng a message later.

After Xu Shunli left, Bernard personally took Zhuo Yijing's dressing room, and said to the stylist: "According to the feeling I showed you before, keep it as simple as possible, and just highlight his own characteristics and temperament."

After the explanation, he himself didn't rush to leave, but sat down on the chair behind Zhuo Yijing, "You still have work at night, so I'll try my best here, and come to communicate before shooting, I actually I have nothing to tell you, because it follows the setting and thinking of your song, you should know better than me."

Bernard paused, looked up at him through the huge makeup mirror, and asked with great interest: "But I really want to know, where did you get the inspiration for when you wrote this song? I heard you Of all the songs in that album, I personally think that this one is the most emotional compared to the few hit songs."

"Thank you, actually, among that album, my favorite is also "Lost"."

Zhuo Yijing didn't answer his question, apparently he didn't want to talk more, but Bernard continued, "You're not actually singing about the relationship between an animal and its owner, are you? What I heard is clearly an unforgettable one. love."

Zhuo Yijing turned her head abruptly, not caring about the make-up artist's whisper because of his sudden movement, and asked, "Why do you think so?"

There are no words about love in the lyrics of that song, and it is sung in the form of ballads, which is hard to think of love.

"Because they listen with their ears, I listen with my heart. Love is the most difficult thing to hide in this world." Bernard stood up with a smile, "I'm still not here to affect your makeup, the studio is waiting for you."

Zhuo Yijing watched him leave, and couldn't calm down for a moment.

Song writing and singing are originally a way for him to vent his emotions. Almost every song and every sentence of his contains his emotions for Zhuo Lin. He never expected Liang Yusheng to understand these emotions. I understand, but I don't want this irrelevant outsider to be able to understand his deep affection buried in the song.

"Zhuo... Mr. Zhuo? Continue?"

The nervous voice of the young makeup artist made Zhuo Yijing put away all her emotions, and quickly finished the rest of the styling and pushed out the door, and everything in the studio was ready.

Zhuo Yijing knew that a photographer of Bernard's level must be very professional, but she never thought that the other party's work was so strict that it could almost be said to be picky.

It can be said that there was no progress in the shooting all morning, and none of the photos taken could meet Bernard's requirements.

Zhuo Yijing is not a professional model, and in the past when shooting commercials or promotional photos, he would not ask too much of him in this regard, let alone ask him to present a specific theme purely with his body.

Even if this image is originally his body, it is still very difficult to express it in a flat form in front of the camera.

During the short break at noon, Bernard stood in front of the camera and frowned. Zhuo Yijing took two boxes of lunch from the staff and walked over, jokingly said, "Do you regret insisting on using me to complete the shooting now?"

"How could it be? In fact, your shots are not bad, but you just haven't found the feeling I want." Bernard quickly left the serious work state, and smiled at him: "Why don't you shy away from me now?"

He naturally felt Zhuo Yijing's alienation in the morning.

"I see that you don't have any malicious intentions." Zhuo Yijing shrugged and said calmly.

It's no wonder that he is afraid, there is a mixed bag of good and bad people in this circle, since his debut, from the company's body instructor to the first MV director he collaborated with, to the 'senior' who is the best in underwear in the industry, because of this delicate face that is rarely seen among professional singers, he I don't know how many people have explicitly hinted at the unspoken rules.

Fortunately, Baiqi Media is different from other companies in this regard. It does not advocate its artists to obtain resources in this way. With the help of a manager like Xu Shunli, he was able to avoid all kinds of dirty things. means, but also learned to stay away from danger.

"Of course I have no malicious intentions. It's just that my professional habits make me prefer to explore deep emotions. The first time I saw you in your MV, I thought you must be a very rich person. Many people think that only dynamic Only images can express stories, but it’s not true, photos can sometimes show people’s emotions better than videos, because they are more focused and direct.”

Zhuo Yijing nodded, as if she agreed with his statement.

After the meal, I continued to shoot. After chatting with Bernard at noon, Zhuo Yijing's condition improved a lot. Even the camera assistants beside me couldn't help showing their approval.

It's just that Bernard didn't show satisfaction at all. During several breaks, Bernard kept adjusting the scene decoration and Zhuo Yijing's movements, which obviously didn't have any significant effect.

It was getting dark, and the shooting had to stop temporarily again. Bernard asked Zhuo Yijing to look through the photos taken that day, frowning and said: "I always feel that something is not right, but I can't find the problem. Come on Look, after all, this itself is the continuation of the emotion you want to express in the song, maybe you will have a new idea."
