Kyoto Airport.
Xu Jingshu took an international flight from the United States to China and arrived at 9:47 am.
Zhang Mingyun, who was standing at the airport pick-up gate, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw on the big screen that flight AD3748 had arrived.
The flight was not delayed.
Xu Jingshu and Chen Minhao both have full schedules. If the plane is delayed, the shooting time may need to be compressed, which will inevitably affect the final shooting effect.
Xu Jingshu's itinerary has always been kept strictly confidential, and she covered her face tightly with sunglasses and a mask. No one in the entire airport recognized her identity.
However, Zhang Mingyun, who was standing at the pick-up gate, saw a tall girl wearing sunglasses and a mask walking out looking around, with an assistant following behind her.
He immediately recognized that this was Xu Jingshu. He took a step forward, smiled and waved to her.
Xu Jingshu was stunned when she saw Zhang Mingyuan waving.
When Xu Jingshu's development focus was still in China, she had cooperated with Valentino, so she knew Zhang Mingyuan.
But she heard that Zhang Mingyuan had just been promoted to VP recently, so he must have a lot to do, so Xu Jingshu never expected that Zhang Mingyuan would pick her up at the airport in person.
In fact, Xu Jingshu's guess was not wrong.
Zhang Mingyun has just been promoted, his butt is not yet settled, and many relationships have not been straightened out yet, but now is the time when he needs to work hard to achieve results the most.
Zhang Mingyun is indeed very busy recently. He goes home after 12 o'clock every night, but this morning he still postponed some things and went to the airport to pick up Xu Jingshu in person.
Because he realized that Xu Jingshu was very important to him.
The male protagonist of the advertisement has been determined, and there is no doubt that he is Chen Minhao. Zhang Mingyun speculated that if there are no accidents, Chen Minhao has been the main force in promoting Valentino in China in recent years.
Then the heroine must find someone who looks more compatible with Chen Minhao.
In China, although there are not many female stars who can promote Valentino and demand celebrity status, there are definitely many.
At present, female celebrities in China are roughly divided into two types, the gorgeous ones and the innocent ones.
Gorgeous actresses are actresses who can handle heavy makeup. They have a sense of glamor that makes them stunning and unforgettable.
The small white flowers hanging in pure style are pure in appearance and not stunning, but the more you look at them, the more attractive they become.
From a man's perspective, a simple distinction can also be made: those who are innocent want to protect, and those who are gorgeous want to conquer.
But these two types of female stars are not suitable for Chen Minhao.
Female celebrities who are gorgeous and flamboyantly beautiful are accustomed to putting themselves as the center of gravity in photos or video advertisements, and it is easy for them to regard male celebrities as the background wall.
The result of this is to offend Chen Minhao and at the same time cause dissatisfaction among his fans.
This obviously goes against the star's plan to tilt resources towards Chen Minhao and allow him to renew his contract with Valentino next year.
So gorgeous female celebrities are not suitable.
And innocent female stars can only match the same idol male stars.
When they stand next to Chen Minhao, especially Chen Minhao in a short-cut state, the difference in temperament is relatively large, and they will appear nondescript.
When domestic female celebrities could not meet her needs, Zhang Mingyun expanded her horizons to include international supermodels.
And Xu Jingshu is neither a gorgeous person nor a pure person.
Her eyes are not big and she has single eyelids. Judging from the facial features, it is not exquisite. If that were the case, it would be difficult for her to become an 18th-tier star.
But her facial lines are particularly natural and smooth, and she is very expressive. The aura can be powerful and neighborly. People can't help but be attracted to her! She has a strong aura, but she doesn't feel oppressive.
Overall, she is very photogenic.
There are many people in the industry who are very beautiful or handsome, but they lack a touch of temperament, expressiveness and camera sense, and are not very photogenic.
There is a variety show in the United States called "America's Next Top Model." The winner of each season is not the most beautiful, but the most special, expressive and photogenic!
In other words, from the perspective of hardware conditions, Xu Jingshu was born to eat this bowl of rice.
From a soft point of view, Chen Minhao's fans are grateful to Xu Jingshu and like her quite a lot.
Therefore, looking at different dimensions, Xu Jingshu is almost the most suitable person to cooperate with Chen Minhao.
Therefore, under this situation, Zhang Mingyun felt that it was necessary for him to have a good relationship with Xu Jingshu.
After all, it’s easier to talk if we have friendship.
There has been a precedent before: Xu Jingshu didn't want to cooperate with Valentino at first, but didn't Cindy get her by relying on her own friendship
Zhang Mingyun's heart went back and forth a thousand times, but Xu Jingshu had already passed.
Zhang Mingyun smiled and reached out to take the suitcase from her hand and asked, "Do you need a rest?"
Xu Jingshu shook her head and said with a smile: "Go directly to the shooting location."
Xu Jingshu is a model worker among supermodels.
She often participates in catwalk shows in different countries and participates in cover interviews for fashion magazines in different countries within a short period of time.
Therefore, she often has to fly around the world, but for her, there is no such thing as "jet lag".
She always catches up her sleep directly on the plane, so that she can face work in the best condition after getting off the plane.
Xu Jingshu's approach is not uncommon among supermodels, so Zhang Mingyun is not surprised by this. He nodded and said with a smile:
"Okay, your junior brother Chen Minhao should have arrived at the filming site, so let's go there quickly."
Xu Jingshu nodded and said, "Let's go."
The two walked side by side and went down to the parking garage. Both of them were sitting in the back row. Zhang Mingyun slapped his forehead, as if he suddenly remembered something, and asked:
"Have you had breakfast? How about I ask my assistant to buy some for you?"
"Thank you and no, I ate it on the plane." Xu Jingshu asked directly: "Can you briefly introduce the theme of the photo? Let me brew my feelings before taking the photo."
Zhang Mingyun took out a folder from his bag and handed it to Xu Jingshu.
After Xu Jingshu looked at it twice, she said in surprise: "There are three themes in total?"
Zhang Mingyun nodded and said: "Yes, there are 3 themes in total. And we plan to make full use of online marketing technology this time and update a set of photos online every day for three days."
Xu Jingshu glanced at Zhang Mingyun in surprise and said nothing.
She didn't expect that a top international luxury product would use this kind of hunger marketing method. But then she thought about it. Every luxury product has limited editions every year. Which of these brands is not a master of hunger marketing
When Zhang Mingyuan and Xu Jingshu arrived at the shooting location, Chen Minhao had already started putting on makeup.
After Xu Jingshu briefly greeted Chen Minhao, Xu Jingshu also started to put on makeup.
Twenty minutes later, Chen Minhao put on makeup.
Chen Minhao discovered a pattern: junior makeup artists spend less time putting on makeup;
Makeup takes a long time, but top make-up artists make it shorter.
When Chen Minhao told Pu Niang's makeup artist about this discovery, Pu Niang's makeup artist smiled and said, "Less is more."
Chen Minhao smiled and thought: "This makeup artist is quite interesting."
After Xu Jingshu heard the conversation between the two, she thought of something else: "Oh, man! It's sad that Teacher Wu Yue likes him so much. Chen Minhao's mouth is too sweet! What he just said was just a disguised compliment to this makeup artist. Is the teacher top-notch? He talks sweetly and has strength. No wonder he can reach where he is today so quickly."
Xu Jingshu was so focused on thinking about Chen Minhao that she didn't notice that the make-up brush on the hand of the make-up artist who applied her make-up had sped up a bit.
Ten minutes later, Xu Jingshu's makeup was finished.
The two makeup artists checked each other's work. After finding no problems or flaws, they called Zhang Mingyuan to inspect and accept it.
"It's great! You guys will definitely surprise them when you get to the studio." Zhang Mingyuan changed the subject and said apologetically: "But the photographer hasn't arrived yet, so you two have to wait for a while. "
After Chen Minhao and Xu Jingshu said there was no problem, the two makeup artists and Zhang Mingyuan left the dressing room.
Before leaving, Zhang Mingyuan said with a smile: "You senior sister and junior brother can use this opportunity to have a good chat. I believe you will have a lot to say."
"Snapped"
Zhang Mingyuan closed the dressing room door very considerately, leaving Chen Minhao and Xu Jingshu staring with big eyes.
Many people in the industry think that the two have a good relationship, but in fact, there is almost no communication between Chen Minhao and Xu Jingshu in private.
Both of them were silent at the same time. The atmosphere was a bit awkward.
Chen Minhao was the first to speak: "How have you been lately?"
Xu Jingshu nodded: "It's okay."
The dressing room fell silent again.
Xu Jingshu smiled and asked, "What about you?"
Chen Minhao: "It's not bad."
Xu Jingshu: "That's good."
Chen Minhao is not a person who is not good at words. He feels that he can talk about many things now, such as weather, news and gossip.
But there were so many things to talk about, but Chen Minhao was like a dog biting a hedgehog, unable to start. In other words, one plan after another in his mind was killed by himself.
After more than ten seconds of silence, the atmosphere became increasingly awkward.
Chen Minhao now very much hopes that a phone number can come in and save this embarrassing situation.
Xu Jingshu actually found that it was not that she disliked Chen Minhao, but that the netizens had an inexplicable misunderstanding at first, and later the inexplicable relationship between senior sister and junior brother made her wonder how the two should communicate when they were alone.
A shameful escape, but a useful one.
It's just that Xu Jingshu didn't expect that she would escape failure.
After more than ten minutes passed, the two of them didn't say a word. They had a very tacit understanding and pretended that someone was looking for them on their mobile phones and responded to WeChat.
When the dressing room door was suddenly pushed open, Chen Minhao and Xu Jingshu stood up impatiently, preparing to go to the studio to shoot.
But unexpectedly, the photographer didn't come, but Zhang Mingyuan walked in with a phone in his hand.
"Xiao Zheng, you are calling the photographer and telling him that if he can't come yet, then he doesn't have to come. Let's find another photographer. Xu Jingshu has already flown from the United States, and he is just waiting in Kyoto to return. Can’t get there.”
Chen Minhao said with a smile: "With the traffic conditions in Kyoto, there is no day when it is not blocked. Besides, it rains today, so we will be fine if we wait a little longer."
Zhang Mingyuan seemed a little less angry, but he still frowned and said, "Hey, this photographer is really too much."
Chen Minhao smiled and said nothing. When Zhang Mingyuan saw that Chen Minhao and Xu Jingshu were not angry, he comforted them and went out.
Chen Minhao suddenly thought that Zhang Mingyuan's play just now was not only performed for him, but also for Xu Jingshu.
And his own response just now represents Xu Jingshu in a sense.
Chen Minhao was worried that Xu Jingshu would misunderstand that he was a virgin, so he explained: "Actually, Zhang Mingyuan just scolded us."
Xu Jingshu smiled and said, "I know."
The two looked at each other and smiled, as if they had a little secret in common, and the atmosphere in the dressing room relaxed for a moment.
Chen Minhao said: "You just came back from the United States on a plane. You should be a little sleepy now. Just close your glasses and rest for a while."
Xu Jingshu nodded and agreed obediently.
Chen Minhao originally wanted to lower his head and scroll through his phone for a while, but when he saw Xu Jingshu closing her eyes, she began to look at Xu Jingshu mysteriously.
He felt that Xu Jingshu was a rather strange person. She showed unfamiliarity when they met, but she helped him again and again.
Chen Minhao watched for less than 2 minutes before Zhang Mingyuan came with the photographer.
Chen Minhao saw that the photographer turned out to be his old acquaintance Li Li.
Li Li was fair and fair, wearing a peaked cap, and looked well-behaved and sensible. As soon as he came in, he bent down and apologized, saying, "I'm really sorry, I'm late."
Chen Minhao smiled and said, "It's okay."
Chen Minhao has taken many covers and still photos, but the photographer who impressed me the most is Li Li.
The reason why Chen Minhao was deeply impressed by him was not only because of his really good photography skills, but also because of his personality, bad temper, and very venomous tongue.
Chen Minhao is very confident in Li Li's shooting skills, but he is more confident in Li Li's hatred.
His historical achievements will never be forgotten by Chen Minhao.
Before Li Li went abroad, he almost had a fight with the female star Huang Feifei in the studio.
After he returned to China, when he shot a double cover for Chen Minhao and Liang Hui, he spent an hour making Chen Minhao the most hated male star by Liang Hui.
A photographer with such ability should be unprecedented and unprecedented.
Chen Minhao has such confidence in Li Li.
Chen Minhao was wearing a black suit today. He should have looked fresh and handsome, but his short haircut and his sunglasses added a touch of domineering to him.
Xu Jingshu, on the other hand, is wearing a black trench coat, wild yet exquisite strong red lips, coupled with her tall figure and long legs, she is full of aura.
After the group of people arrived at the studio from the dressing room, the staff in the studio immediately started whispering:
"So handsome. What an A."
"This set of pictures will definitely explode."
"Mr. Zhang is really good at selecting people. Both of them are very suitable for the first theme. I can't wait to see the finished film."
Li Li took out his camera from his bag and looked around: "You have to go out and talk. Don't make buzzing noises here and interfere with other people's work."
It’s still a familiar recipe, it’s still a familiar taste, it’s still a familiar transformation.
