Looking at the spacious and bright space in front of me, on one side is the modern city with high sky and vast sea, and on the other side is the dense green forest. In an instant, it seems that I can clearly feel my own insignificance, crawling in front of nature; in an instant, It feels like standing on the top of the world, with a panoramic view of the mountains and small mountains.
Taking a deep breath of fresh air, the whole chest becomes refreshed.
Standing aside, Laihe watched Lu Ke quietly, catching the excitement and excitement between Lu Ke's brows and eyes, and nodded secretly to express satisfaction. He knew that Lu Ke would like it here.
"From now on, this will be your home." Lech said with a smile, and then further explained, "I have arranged for hourly workers to clean the house, every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, after ten o'clock in the morning , she will come over and take care of the cleaning, so you don’t need to worry about the cleaning and maintenance of the house.”
Lech's thoughtfulness can be seen from the timing. At ten o'clock in the morning, generally speaking, Lu Ke has left the house and gone to the training base; even if he occasionally rests at home, the time after ten o'clock is to avoid disturbing Lu Ke's rest.
"If you occasionally encounter a party or special circumstances and need to cancel the next day's cleaning to avoid interruption, just tell me one day in advance. I will leave the staff's contact information for you afterwards, and you can also contact her directly." Lech has obviously taken all situations into consideration, "In addition, I have already contacted the security of the house, and they will come over tomorrow to install alarms and monitors."
"Monitor?" Lu Ke showed a surprised look: He is just a rookie, not a top superstar. Monitor, is this too exaggerated?
"For the sake of news, the paparazzi will do anything. The best case scenario is that we are of no use." Lech has his own considerations, especially after experiencing the series of negative news bombs from Ben Roethlisberger. After that, he needs to be more cautious. "Don't worry, it won't affect your private life, it's just installed around the house."
Looking at the serious Laihe in front of him, Lu Ke felt deeply that he couldn't keep up with the rhythm.
Laihe chuckled and patted Lu Ke on the shoulder. Without further explanation, he changed the topic, "Now, you first unpack your luggage, tidy up the room, and then get familiar with your new home. If it is too complicated or... If the work is too hard, just put it aside for the time being, and leave it until tomorrow or the next day to sort it out in detail. The taste of home is slowly leaving its own mark day by day. "
Lu Ke laughed happily, "Don't worry, I haven't forgotten my afternoon work. However, shooting commercials is not a physical job. Isn't it just standing in front of the camera and posing? There is no need to worry too much. Worry about too much work in the morning?" It’s hard work, it sounds like we’re going to join the Bear-Grylls team.”
That brisk joke made Laihe lower his jaw meaningfully. Without making too many excuses, he just said with a smile, "You should be busy first. I need to sit down and take a good rest. I am older and cannot stand for too long. "
Today is the first day of the offseason, but Lu Ke's life has not stopped, but has entered another busy mode.
In the morning, he will move into a new house; in the afternoon, Lu Ke will devote himself to Under Armour's first round of advertising promotion.
Three weeks ago, Lu Ke signed a contract with Under Armor and received his first advertising sponsorship.
However, during this period, the regular season games were in full swing. Lu Ke could not find time to complete Under Armor-related shooting, which was mainly for print ads. In addition, he also needed to complete the shooting of a short video. Officially It was announced that Lu Ke had joined the Under Armor family.
Tomorrow, Lu Ke will have a series of interviews, including magazines, radio stations and newspapers, as well as some inside page shooting for magazines. On the one hand, it was an official interview from the NFL, which officially established Lu Ke's foothold in the league as a rookie quarterback; on the other hand, it was the aura of attention after five wins and one loss, which further exposed him to the spotlight. under.
The day after tomorrow, Under Armor will hold an official press conference to formally introduce Lu Ke's debut.
In just sixty hours, Lu Ke's work was already overflowing, leaving him no time to breathe.
The reason why the work is arranged so urgently, so intensively, and so turbulently is not because of quick success, but because of time management.
This week is the offseason for the San Francisco 49ers. The real meaning of the offseason is to allow the team to relax and adjust; but there is really too much work surrounding Lu Ke and there is no time to complete it.
For other rookie players, there are two months before the preseason to complete the frontline work of entering the league, but Lu Ke, who was appointed before the regular season, did not have such space. If Lech and San Francisco 49ers team manager Trent Baalke hadn't kept a clear mind and set up a blockade, Lu Ke would have been overwhelmed by work as early as the regular season.
Now, with the bye week finally here, the accumulated work is pouring in.
But in order to leave enough rest time, and to avoid affecting the training plan and preparation rhythm for the next week, Lech concentrated as much work as possible on the first half of the offseason week, and then left the second half of the offseason week on. To Lu Ke, relax and adjust well to avoid further interruption. In the final analysis, competition and training are the focus.
As a result, Lu Ke faced the most difficult period after entering the professional league.
…
At two o'clock in the afternoon, accompanied by Lech, Lu Ke came to the studio in Castro District.
This is an abandoned warehouse, which looks like a dusty cement wall on the outside. Even the abandoned pickup truck parked in the parking lot next to it has accumulated a lot of dust, as if it has been a century; after entering it, lift From the beginning, you can see the exposed pipes and graffiti all over the walls, which are full of randomness and art on the street.
This made Lu Ke couldn't help but think of the scene where Candice worked. It turned out that those beautiful blockbusters were created in such an environment, with a strong post-modern decoration style, and the artistic creation was Freedom and spontaneity are on full display.
Next, everything entered a completely unfamiliar stage. Compared with the morning, this was the real Alice in Wonderland.
Shooting is not just as simple as standing in front of the camera, the model striking a pose, and the cameraman pressing the shutter.
Before the official photo shoot, it only takes at least thirty minutes to change clothes and put on makeup. If it is a female model, three hours is normal; in addition, the photographer also needs to meter, adjust, and determine The entire photo shoot theme, the placement of the background board, and further communication with the model, those professional processes also take a lot of time.
After entering the photoshoot, it is definitely not enough to stand still and pose. For a specific action, the photographer needs to capture the inspiration for the shooting. The model may need to maintain a posture for three or five minutes, and then make adjustments bit by bit. The point is, the process of artistic creation, the so-called adjustment Not math.
"More eyes, more eyes... slightly tilt towards me, okay, a little more, a little more, wait, it's too much, go back some more, the eyes are still not enough, a little more, sharper, find the point of the game State, no no, murderous aura, what I need is murderous aura...not a frown, but murderous aura, murderous aura...
Lift your body up a little more, tighten your abdomen and lift your chest, just like a little white poplar... Come on, come on, raise your chin five degrees, only five degrees is enough... Retract your arms a little, and at the same time press your shoulders back a little, and you will feel Just like the breeze in March suppresses the ears of wheat, it is enough to push it back slightly..."
Standing in front of the camera lens, Lu Ke felt that his body was no longer his and he had completely lost control. He understood every word the photographer said, but when they were all put together, he couldn't understand a word of it, such as "more eyes", "how are fifths measured", and then "small What is Bai Yang’s condition?”
Lu Ke wasn't quite sure how "murderous intent" should be expressed, but he was sure that if this continued, he might actually develop murderous intent.
I originally thought that it was too difficult to freeze the action in place, and I couldn't control the fine-tuning of those details, and I couldn't even understand what the photographer's words meant; then, the dynamic postures of movement would inevitably be simpler. But soon, Lu Ke realized that he was still too young and naive.
"Run, yes, from left to right, do it again, run back... Start passing the ball, no, no, don't really pass the football, freeze at the moment when the football is about to be released... This posture is not good-looking, slow motion It’s the same as the playback, making a long pass of the bow and eagle shooting, with the chest raised a little more, and the steps of the feet a little wider... Well, good, the whole person moves, give me a little movement, give me a little sunshine ...eyes, don’t forget eyes!”
Lu Ke bit his gums tightly, feeling deeply that he might smash the football directly into the photographer's face in the next moment.
This is not taking pictures, it is complete torture.
Now, Lu Ke finally understood what Laihe meant.
Photography work is definitely physical work. In just one hour, they didn't even finish shooting the first set of costumes. During this period, because Lu Ke was sweating profusely, he had to change one set of costumes and then shoot again.
In comparison, Lu Ke would rather run for an hour or practice passing for an hour. Standing in the studio for an hour is simply more difficult than a century. Lu Ke expressed his admiration for Candice's work. This is simply not a job that ordinary people can do.
Sure enough, given his specialization in the art industry, he is still suitable for playing on the rugby field, not in a photography studio.
After seventy minutes, the shooting of the first set of clothes was finally over. Lu Ke was sweating profusely, as if he had just been fished out of the water. He dragged his exhausted body to the rest area. After a short rest and adjustment, he went into the second set. Second costume shoot.
Then, Lu Ke saw Stephen Curry sitting in the rest area.
