Chapter 7: Meet the old man again

Views:

A week later, Chu Muyu took Nolan to the magazine office to shoot the inside pages of the magazine's supplement.

As one of the "Five Women's Journals" in China, BIZZER has been influenced by the preference of the female market in recent years. Every time it is published, it invites several popular or stylish male models and artists to shoot the inside pages and covers. For male models and artists, being featured in the "Five Women's Magazines" is definitely one of the best options to increase popularity and earn word of mouth. It was also out of this consideration that Chu Muyu tried his best to let Nolan take Zhou Xue's boat.

In the magazine, the staff came and went in a hurry, and everyone handled the work at hand efficiently with a stopwatch. Nolan, who was shooting a magazine for the first time, was a little nervous.

The staff who docked with them stood at the door of the studio and greeted them warmly.

"Come this way, please."

The size of the studio is not very large, but there are quite a lot of people in the work area. This time, Nolan is not only on the camera for the inner page shooting, but also has another new female model as his partner.

"The theme of our shooting this time is called 'salvation', and the source of the story is Andersen's "The Wild Swan." The staff took out a printed document with the original fairy tale and handed it to Nolan, "Ann will play the role of saving brother Alisa, Nolan plays the prince brother who is turned into a swan. Of course, we will make some changes to the setting for artistic processing to fit the new McQueen products that will be shown in this shooting.”

Chu Muyu took the information in Nolan's hands and flipped through it, frowning slightly, and asked the staff, "Alyssa's proportion in the story is too heavy, will it cause the two models' conflicts in the final film?" The proportions are not equal."

The staff member smiled, "Don't worry, you'll know later after finishing the makeup."

Nolan was ushered into the dressing room. On the makeup mirror was a hand-painted picture of makeup by a makeup artist. The person in the picture was wearing thick smoky makeup. His bangs were combed behind his head. The feathers are integrated, the skin is pale, but the contours of the facial features are very three-dimensional due to the aggravated silhouette. Paired with the black feather custom robe that the stylist has prepared for a long time, the whole shape is like a sickly black swan.

Nolan's outfit was so successful that when he reappeared in the studio after finishing the styling, everyone let out a low exclamation, and even Chu Muyu was stunned for a moment.

Nolan wore heavy and seemingly casual eye makeup, his face was sickly, his pale lips covered the blood on his face, which made him look fragile and crazy, even the usual purity in his eyes was overshadowed It was stained with some deep meaning.

This is a black swan that is gradually being polluted from the outside to the inside. He was forced to change from a prince to a swan, full of the contradiction between human nature and animal nature inside and out.

The photographer was very satisfied with the plasticity of Nolan's appearance. He came over and patted Nolan on the shoulder to tell him to wait. Ann's shape was more complicated and she hadn't finished her makeup yet.

Chu Muyu looked at Nolan, and couldn't help swallowing hard. He took a deep breath and planned to go out to get a glass of water.

"Where are you going?" Nolan, who was unfamiliar with this place, was extremely nervous about his every move, and quickly stopped him.

"I'm going out for a glass of water," Chu Muyu said.

"I'm going too." Nolan quickly got up and followed.

Walking around the corridor with the stunning Nolan, Chu Muyu managed to get two glasses of water and a circle of staff to inquire. Nolan is not as cold and unreasonable as other models Stinky problem, always respond to what I have to say, answer every question, and then my mouth gets more and more dry.

"Go back, don't be there when everyone is ready and you are not in place." Chu Muyu threw the disposable paper cups that the two had emptied into the trash can, turned and walked back.

Everything went smoothly, but when they were about to enter the shed, Chu Muyu and Nolan met an unexpected person in the corridor.

Chu Muyu really wanted to pretend he didn't see it, but his eyes froze when he touched him, and all the muscles in his body couldn't help becoming stiff.

"Muyu?" Qi Chuan also saw Chu Muyu, and he walked over with a calm expression, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "Long time no see."

"Long time...no see." Chu Muyu twitched the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, and lowered his eyes not wanting to look at him.

"Is this the newcomer you brought? It's pretty good." Qi Chuan looked at Nolan behind him.

Nolan felt a strange atmosphere, he took the initiative to reach out his hand to Qi Chuan, "Hello, my name is Nolan, you are..."

"Don't you know me?" Qi Chuan opened his eyes slightly in disbelief, and then couldn't help laughing, "Yes, I have been abroad for several years, so it's normal if you don't know me. My name is Qi Chuan , used to be a model brought by Muyu."

Qi Chuan? This is Qi Chuan? Nolan's unspoken words were stuck in his throat. He looked at the beautiful and slightly feminine man in front of him, and his heart ached.

"When did you return to China?" Chu Muyu asked suddenly.

Qi Chuan thought for a while and replied, "It's been almost three months. The domestic market is so big, it would be a pity to give up completely."

Chu Muyu gave an emotionless oh, and Qi Chuan said with a smile, "Dasun and the others all know that I'm back, but you actually don't care about me at all."

should i care about you Chu Muyu found it a little funny and mocking. He blocked all the news about Qi Chuan long after the two broke up.

Nolan couldn't see the loss of soul in Chu Muyu's eyes the most. He took Chu Muyu's hand and said to Qi Chuan, "Didn't Mr. Qi switch to another company a long time ago, and Muyu has no obligation to treat you You know the dynamics like the palm of your hand."

Qi Chuan took a look at Chu Muyu's held hand, and when he raised his eyes again, there was some unclear provocation in it, "Without the relationship of working partners, Muyu and I have many other things. It doesn't matter, you've only been here for a short time, so I'm afraid you still don't understand."

Nolan was angry, but he didn't know how to refute. He snorted and said, "What can you do with him? It's you who don't cherish people, not him."

Qi Chuan still had the same smiling face, but his feminine facial features revealed a bit of gloom. He ignored Nolan and said to Chu Muyu,

"Would you like to go out for a drink or two after work is over, and I'll call Dasun and the others?"

Just at this time, the scene reporter poked his head out from the door of the studio and shouted to Nolan, "The filming has started, come in and get ready."

Chu Muyu came back to his senses, calmed down his emotions, and said to Qi Chuan indifferently, "Next time, I've been very busy lately." He grabbed Nolan with his backhand, turned around and walked towards the studio without hesitation go.

When leaving, Qi Chuan showed a playful smile, which happened to be seen by Nolan who turned his head. Nolan stared back fiercely like a beast protecting food.

Nolan and Ann stood in front of the background cloth, listening to the photographer explaining the shooting content and the emotions needed to them, while Chu Muyu stood behind the lighting, looking over there with erratic eyes.

Everyone was immersed in their work status, but Chu Muyu was disturbed by the episode just now. Although he may have never loved Qi Chuan, it is inevitable that he will feel complicated when he meets Qi Chuan again.

Especially when they broke up, Qi Chuan's words just used him as a springboard, which really made him sad for a long time.

Chu Muyu felt a emptiness in his heart, so he raised his legs and walked out.

Filming went well.

The contrast between Nolan's own aura and his personal sense of contrast allowed the photographer to take many wonderful pictures.

After taking off his makeup, Nolan searched for Chu Muyu in the studio for a long time, and finally saw him on the rooftop after being reminded by the working girl beside him.

Chu Muyu was lying on the railing looking at the sky in a daze, his body was full of cigarette smell, and there were cigarette butts lying around his feet.

A gust of wind blew and made Nolan feel a little chilly. He walked over and patted Chu Muyu's shoulder, "How long have you been standing here, why don't you stay in the studio?"

Only then did Chu Muyu notice that there was someone standing beside him, and he replied indifferently, "Your mouth is itchy, if you want to smoke, come out and walk around."

"Are you... in a bad mood?" Nolan bit his lower lip.

Chu Muyu helped Nolan smooth his long hair that was blown by the wind, and said with a smile, "I'm in a good mood, let's go, it's freezing here."

It was probably because there was too much wind blowing on the roof during the day and it was cold, and when I got home at night, Chu Muyu had a fever. He collapsed on the mattress with a blushing complexion, his eyes were tightly closed, and he couldn't stop humming. When Nolan put his hand on his forehead, he felt that it was terribly hot.

"What should I do? I'll take you to the hospital." Nolan turned around anxiously. He helped Chu Muyu up, trying to put a coat on him and carry him out.

"Don't go... I hate hospitals the most..." Chu Muyu hid his hands behind his back like an unreasonable child, unwilling to let Nolan dress him.

Helpless, Nolan could only use a wet towel to physically cool down Chu Muyu according to the method found on the Internet, and went downstairs to the pharmacy to buy him antipyretics. However, Chu Muyu, who was rarely sick, did not drop his body temperature after taking the antipyretics. On the contrary, he became dizzy and half awake due to the fever.

Nolan was so distressed that he went to prepare some ice packs. His tall body squatted short and squatted beside Chu Muyu's bed, his eyes were flushed, and he wished he could replace Chu Muyu's fever.

He stretched out his hand to touch Chu Muyu's hot cheek, and Chu Muyu let out a comfortable sigh at the moment of skin contact, and Nolan remembered that he was a low-temperature animal, and his body surface temperature was lower than that of ordinary people Not a lot.

"Cool..." Chu Muyu rubbed against Nolan's palm, like a cat looking for comfort.

Although Nolan felt that Chu Muyu's high body temperature made him a little uncomfortable, the pity in his heart was far more uncomfortable than the physical heat. Nolan decisively stripped himself naked into Chu Muyu's bed, hugged him tightly, and used his cool body to cool him down.

The burning body temperature has been relieved, and the person who posted it is like an oasis in the desert, allowing the extremely thirsty self to get a little relief and coolness.

Chu Muyu buried his face in Nolan's arms, skin to skin, and he had a long, long dream in his groggy state. In the dream, he was floating in the deep sea, and the light on the surface of the sea was refracted into the water and sprinkled on his face shimmeringly. He felt as if his body weighed a thousand pounds, and when he was sinking a little bit, there was a reliable chest attached to him. His back, take him out of the sea...

He vaguely recalled a shattered memory five years ago. When he sank into the sea, it seemed that such a person hugged him tightly in the water and gave him a breath of life-saving air when he was about to suffocate. .
