Shanghai, at this moment.
"Hello, I'm Mia."
Facing the friendly girl in front of him, Wen Liang also showed a hearty smile, and the two of them held their hands gently in mid-air.
"I'm Wen Liang, nice to meet you."
Li Lan on the side watched the two girls introduce themselves to each other, with a strange look in his eyes.
"Sister Lan, it's not like your style if you don't sign Mia to our company as an artist."
Wen Liang teased, and just when Li Lan was thinking about how to respond, a stylist not far away had already pushed a rack of clothes over, and he interrupted everyone's chat.
"Teacher Wenliang, please come over and try on clothes."
"Okay, okay, let's go, everyone, let's get started!"
Wen Liang said hello and turned back to the dressing room. The two assistant girls left behind her.
Li Lan looked at the girl named Mia next to him. After getting off the plane, he received news from Bai Wenyu. It was not unusual for a right-hand man to replace the leader, but Li Lan, who has been working hard in the workplace and entertainment industry for a long time, Still sensitively smelled something strange.
He Tianran valued Wen Liang very much, and at least he deliberately wanted to praise her in the drama "In the Wild". This can be said to be known to all the artists and employees in the company.
And this kind of praise has also spread on the Internet that Wen Liang is actually having an affair with Mr. He. Even Li Lan, who has taken Wen Liang for several years, is a little doubtful. After all, she knows very well the temperament of Wen Liang, a wild girl. , it was obvious that this girl's attitude towards He Tianran was completely different from other friends of the opposite sex.
Of course, Li Lan wouldn't mind if this young, rich and topical company partner had something to do with his artists. In fact, she was eager for it, because it would not be a bad thing for the company, not to mention the talent and good looks. It is easy to form a long-term and benign exposure point.
But she didn't expect that even when she was doubting the relationship between He Tianran and Wen Liang, Bai Lingye was sober enough. She told herself that even if there was an ambiguity between the two, there would be no result, because He Naturally, there is a secret lover studying in England, and he is very loyal to her.
England, secret lover, Bai Wenyu's assistant, the girl named Mia in front of her...
If many coincidences come together, there is a high probability that it is not a coincidence.
Thinking of this, Li Lan tried a sentence:
"I'm sorry, Mia. I didn't have time to formally introduce you to Ah Liang just now. She thought you were an assistant who came to our company for internship. It was a joke."
"No Sister Lan. Anyway, I came here to help temporarily. The nature is the same. I thought Wen Liang would recognize me."
The girl looked away and smiled.
Li Lan asked doubtfully: "You two... know each other?"
The girl tilted her head slightly and thought for a moment:
"We were classmates in high school, but Wen Liang often took time off to study performances outside school to prepare for art exams. We focused on cultural classes in school, so we had very little communication. If she hadn't become a star now, she could be seen online , I don’t think I would recognize her at first sight.”
"Oh, it turns out you still have such a relationship. By the way, Mr. He and Wen Liang are also high school classmates. If you put it that way..."
The other party nodded: "Yes, we were all in the same class at the beginning."
With this said, Li Lan finally made up his mind.
She thought to herself that this girl was here to inspect the work. She was clearly Mr. Kuo's real lover who came to declare his sovereignty...
And since Bai Wenyu can greet him personally, many of these things are self-evident.
This girl Wen Liang is not destined to be a wife after all...
Li Lan thought about this in his heart and asked again:
"That's it. Mia, may I ask what your Chinese name is...?"
"Cao Aiqing, Sister Lan, just call me Mia when you are working."
"Ah, okay, okay... you... don't want Wen Liang to know, right?"
Cao Aiqing shook his head and said with a smile:
"I never thought of hiding it deliberately, but it's okay. I will find an opportunity to tell her. By the way, Sister Lan, do you need me to do anything now?"
"Uh...it's nothing actually...well, come with me."
Li Lan struggled for a moment. By the end of the chat, the other party's intention was obvious. He probably wanted to make the mistake and approach Wen Liang as the actor's assistant. After all, compared to the boss's cronies, his assistant was easy to win over. At close range, there is less vigilance.
As for when Cao Aiqing will show off...
Well, Li Lan just hoped that Wen Liang would not have any deep friendship during this period. It was clear that a moment ago she was hoping that something would really happen between He Tianran and this wild girl, but now...
"Inside the Wild" will be released soon. He Tianran mentioned the issue of corporate and personal image in the first meeting with everyone. He cares so much about his family's reputation. If something really happened between the two of them, the real person will know about it. If a quarrel breaks out, based on her relationship with Mr. Bai, it is not impossible that He Tianran would give up his car to save the handsome man...
…
…
This magazine shoot was based on the reshaping of the characters' backgrounds and personalities, so the three protagonists in the shoot retained some ancient style in their outfits and scenes, but also had some modern elements, such as Sui Chulang's black and gold moire trench coat looks free and unrestrained, but also has the nobility of the prince in the play.
As the female lead, Gu Qiaoman's costumes are not that complicated. After all, she is a widower in the play. The modern costumes are mainly white, which is more to reflect her sophistication. She has a sassy side, so she is more like a chivalrous woman who has traveled to modern times, which coincides with the concept of independent women being promoted now.
As for Wen Liang, in terms of visual sense, she is undoubtedly the most eye-catching one. In the play, Yu Wen goes from the daughter of the Duke to the Crown Princess, and finally fails because of love. She plans to seize the country and usurp the throne. Every step is away from desire. The abyss is a little closer, and this kind of character is very malleable in shape.
Some people say that filming and taking pictures are two different things, because there are two directions: one is still and the other is moving.
But a good actor can always find a suitable balance between movement and stillness, and Wen Liang is like this.
She is wearing a black and white gradient backless Tang skirt. This is the latest summer haute couture from "Legend of Gaia" this year. This brand focuses on a national style element, but in order to meet the needs of modern people, so The tailoring will not stick to the old style.
For example, the hem of this skirt is entirely made of black and white gauze. As the lotus steps sway, appearing and disappearing, the just right slit of the skirt sets off Wen Liang's proud white and slender legs. Extraordinarily ostentatious and eye-catching.
The beauty moved and lay on her side on the ancient wooden couch. From the side, it looked like a beautiful undulating landscape. She used her elbows as support and rested her forehead against her side. Part of her hair was randomly tied up with two bright red hairpins. , part of it falls naturally.
Several red transparent curtains were specially hung on the top of the studio, separated symmetrically on the left and right, leaving a view of the beauty's bed in the center. The light and shadow effects on the scene were also specially made into rippling waves, which danced gently. Moving between her skin that can be broken by blowing, it shows grace and laziness.
A black cat walked slowly from the end of the bed, and finally stopped in front of the beauty, and lay down obediently.
The green onion-like fingers were placed on the top of the black cat's head, and then gently slid over the cat's head, neck, back, and tail little by little, as if teasing. The black cat stretched its waist comfortably, raised its head and called out to the woman, At this moment, I suddenly heard a sentence coming from the front:
"Come on, come on, look at the camera."
In an instant, the beauty raised her eyes, and the black cat's pupils were upright, all looking at the photographer not far away. At this moment, there was both coquettishness and amorous feelings, animality and desire bursting out. The flash flashed, and there was a click from the camera, freezing the frame. The beauty and the black cat interact with each other for a second.
"Beautiful, beautiful!! Come on, hold on, one more, one more."
This situation keeps the photographer inspired to create, trying to capture all the fleeting beauty. After the camera takes the original photo, it is immediately transmitted to a display device not far away for other people present. Appreciate and correct.
"It's so beautiful. This photo was taken really well. The overall composition, imagery, and Wenliang's performance are all great!"
Cao Aiqing looked at the photo and admired it sincerely, and the two assistant girls around him also agreed. Even the editor-in-chief present and Sui Chulang who had finished the shooting were full of praise for the stunning performance of the warm and cool photo.
There is no doubt that the warmth and coolness in front of the camera at this moment is the embodiment of style and desire, perfectly interpreting the character who has conquered the country, brought disaster to the country and the people, and is also extremely ambitious.
"It seems that once your drama is released, Xiao Wen will definitely be very popular in the future."
On the side, Zhang Yu, the editor-in-chief of "VOGUE" who is known as the "Fashion Devil" in the industry, commented this way.
This sentence made Li Lan overjoyed, and even Gu Qiaoman, who had been getting close to the editor-in-chief just now, was stunned.
You must know that today’s domestic artists, especially popular young idols, their promotion channels are largely linked to fashion resources, and many of today’s active young people are from the contents of these fashion magazines. Those who came out of the big page include Sui Chulang and Gu Qiaoman who are present now. In a sense, these inner pages are the weather vane for future idols.
Not many people can get such a comment from Zhang Yu. After all, she has been deeply involved in the fashion industry for many years and can be said to be standing at the top of the pyramid in this industry. How awesome is she? When Gong Li, who has been famous for many years, came to shoot "VOGUE", Since he brought his own personal photographer, Zhang Yu quarreled with her on the spot and refused to take the photo. It was not until Zhang Yu resigned a few years ago that he moved to the investment industry. Only after 25 years did Gong Huang appear on the domestic " The cover of VOGUE magazine.
After Zhang Yu resigned, the status of "VOGUE" in the domestic industry continued to decline. It was not until last year that Zhang Yu came out again to take over as editor-in-chief that it regained its strength.
Gu Qiaoman is very fond of Zhang Yu. In fact, she is not the only one. All female artists in the industry, especially the generation who debuted after 2000, must treat Zhang Yu with respect when they see her, and they want to call her "godmother".
After all, until now, no young beauty born after 2000 has been able to appear on the cover of the official issue of "VOGUE". Therefore, in the battle to be the leader of their generation, it is still unclear who will win in the end.
"Okay, let's take a rest."
With the photographer's greeting, this stage of shooting was completed. Wen Liang held the cat in one hand and held up the cat's paw in the other, saying "Thank you, thank you for your hard work" to the staff on site.
Before the other two assistants could react, they were still looking at the photos in front of the laptop with everyone. Cao Aiqing had already walked over, took off his coat and handed it to Wen Liang.
"This cat is so cute, give me a hug~"
"Okay~! Be careful not to get caught by it. This cat is quite wild."
Cao Aiqing took the cat and held it in his arms; Wen Liang got the clothes and put them on his shoulders.
In Shanghai in June, it was definitely not cold at night, but the back of Wenliang's Tang skirt was more exposed. In order to avoid certain sight lines at the scene after work, it was covered.
Cao Aiqing was the first to discover this detail. This move made Wen Liang's affection for this equally beautiful and attentive girl double.
Seeing the little black cat in Cao Aiqing's arms with half-closed eyes and curled up comfortably, Wen Liang stretched out a finger and teased:
"Okay, you scumbag cat. When I hugged you just now, you almost caught me. Now that Mia is hugging you, you look like you're enjoying it, right? You little rascal~!"
"Maybe I have a cat at home, so I know more about cats' habits."
Cao Aiqing lowered his head and stroked the cat's chin with his hand, and explained softly.
"No wonder it kissed you so much. Maybe it smelled a similar scent on you~"
Wen Liang retracted her hand, and not far away Li Lan stood beside the editor Zhang Yu and the photographer, waving to her.
"Please help me take care of Xiao Hei for a while. He will be needed for the next shooting. I'll go say hello to the editor first."
"Okay~"
After Wen Liang finished explaining, she pulled the clothes on her shoulders and walked towards Li Lan. Everyone looked at the photos she had just taken, talking and laughing.
Seeing this, Cao Aiqing looked around. This was her first time in a place like a studio. Remembering that when she was still studying at the University of Hong Kong, He Tianran had not established her ambition to be a director or make movies. Come to think of it, He already goes in and out frequently and works in these places, right?
Thinking of this, she took out her mobile phone from her bag, found a few better angles, and took a few photos of everyone at work. Then she found a secluded corner to rest with the cat in her arms without disturbing her.
After more than ten minutes, the filming continued, but the person being photographed was replaced by Gu Qiaoman, not Wen Liang.
Just when Cao Aiqing was confused, Wen Liang saw her sitting alone with her cat in her arms, away from the crowd, so she came over.
"Have you finished filming?"
"No, it's rare for the editor-in-chief of the magazine to come to watch the scene today, so Qiao Man just wanted to show off. The scene is the same anyway, so let's change the shooting. Don't worry about it."
After Wen Liang explained, he sat down next to the other party.
Cao Aiqing nodded, looked at the editor-in-chief who was still surrounded by Li Lan and other agents not far away, and asked:
"Why don't you go...social?"
Wen Liang shook his head and touched the cat's head:
"I'm not very good at this kind of thing. After introducing myself, it's enough for everyone to get to know each other. Let the agent do the rest."
Cao Aiqing smiled and said:
"Are you not good at it or just don't like it?"
Wen Liang stopped stroking the cat and raised her eyes to look at Cao Aiqing. After two seconds, she also laughed and started talking:
“I really don’t like it.
Mia, you know, you are not familiar with the person in front of you, but you know that he has a high status in the industry. When you meet him, you must be enthusiastic enough, be respectful, and talk about some things that are not available in the industry, such as The design creativity of a certain piece of clothing in this year's Chanel show is really good. Teacher, look at my photos. Is there anything I need to improve? Teacher, what brand of cosmetics do you usually like? I know that the foundation of such a big brand is very good. use……
Anyway, it’s just these miscellaneous things, intended to hit the other person’s points of interest and leave a good impression on others..."
Cao Aiqing couldn't help but nod:
"I understand, I understand. Anyway, it's just to make others feel that you are in the same circle, have like-minded interests, and have common topics. But in this case, if you don't really understand, or you don't have the desire to share and discuss with others, then Talking like this will make people feel very tired...
And how can I put it... Just like when people who make movies get together, they don't always talk about movies, and people who do architectural design don't just talk about Baroque and Rococo. After all, there are more professional people around them. There are more opportunities to talk, so when people like us go up to chat with others, we inevitably feel like we are forcing the chef to cook even after he returns home.
So instead of going up and having an awkward conversation for the sake of worldliness, it's better to just do your own thing like Wen Liang. Anyway, if you work hard, you won't be annoying. "
Wen Liang looked at the other party, her eyes twinkling, and she said happily:
"Yes, yes, that's how it feels! If we don't talk well, the gains will outweigh the losses. Mia, you are so considerate~!"
"Hehe, no~ But Wenliang, have you always been like this?"
"Normally..."
Wen Liang adjusted to a more comfortable sitting position, turned his head, moved his neck and said:
"I'm not an introvert. Although I don't like this kind of social interaction, I certainly won't reject it. After all, in my line of work, it is inevitable to participate in these activities.
It’s just that today my energy is focused on another thing, that is, our company’s director He’s mother is coming to inspect the work. She will definitely be the new leader in the future. I have been thinking about it. Just now, Sister Lan told me When she said she wasn't coming, I suddenly felt relaxed, so I felt a little tired and too lazy to socialize with anyone. "
Cao Aiqing listened quietly, stroked the cat's back, and said calmly:
"Just come when others come. It's the same principle. Just be yourself. There's no need to be so nervous. Or do you think they will..."
The quiet girl spoke in a longer tone. Wen Liang turned her head and saw that the other party was looking at her as well. She raised her palm and said "Ouch~" while her fingers were slightly bent into claws.
"Eat you?"
"..."
Wen Liang was stunned for two seconds, then slowly opened his mouth, and couldn't help but said in a disgusted voice:
"Oh my god~~~Mia, you are so cute~~ah~~~"
As she said that, she couldn't help but want to pinch the other person's face that was deliberately pretending to be fierce, but luckily Cao Aiqing dodged it.
Regarding the opponent's dodge, Wen Liang also pretended to be angry, puffing out her mouth and rounding her cheeks, like a small bun.
Seeing Wen Liang looking like he was angry, Cao Aiqing said "huh~", couldn't hold it back, and finally laughed out loud.
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……"
Afterwards, Wen Liang, who had lasted for only a few seconds, was also infected by the childish behavior between the two and started laughing.
The staff who were filming looked towards them, knowing that it was affecting the work of others, and the two girls simultaneously put their index fingers on their lips, making a "silence" gesture.
And under such a tacit understanding, the knowing smiles of each other were reflected in their eyes as they looked at each other.
Let me make sure again, there are people who really want to see "River of Blood", right?
