Sheng Min lived not far from the filming base, but there was some traffic on the road, so it took a quarter of an hour longer than the normal half-hour journey. Fortunately, the original time plan was sufficient, so he made it in time.
Zhang Zhihua had indeed gone there, sitting in the lounge playing with his phone, his eyes always glancing at the door. When he saw them come in, he subconsciously wanted to stand up, but in the past, whenever Sheng Min had an announcement, he always sat aside like a big shot.
If I stand up now, will it seem like I am afraid of him? Zhang Zhihua thought, and he sat back down halfway through. He was too hasty and almost lost his balance, which looked a little funny.
However, Li Xuan paid no attention to his thoughts and sat down on the chair without even blinking.
"Why do you arrive at this late hour? The shooting will start soon." Zhang Zhihua was dissatisfied with his negligence and started to pick on him.
Li Xuan was thinking about company matters and was too lazy to pay attention to him.
"Yang Xu." Zhang Zhihua got even angrier when no one paid attention to him, and he vented his anger on someone else, "Didn't I tell you to pick her up earlier? Look at the time now, how can you do anything?"
Yang Xunuo didn't dare to argue and whispered that there was a traffic jam on the road.
"Traffic jam is the excuse. You have no sense of time. If there is another traffic jam, you don't need to come." Zhang Zhihua felt even more proud of himself for winning back a victory, and he was about to pursue the victory. But Li Xuan couldn't stand his noise.
"If you want to argue, go outside and argue." Li Xuan lowered his head and replied to the message, saying in a cold voice, "It's better to come up with a plan to solve the traffic congestion and submit it to the municipal government. If you have the ability to do this, you don't have to be my agent."
Zhang Zhihua looked a little embarrassed, and he was still looking for trouble with Sheng Min: "It's too late to say anything. Why did you bring these messy people to shoot the commercial?"
Sheng Min felt bad.
"Don't be angry." He quickly whispered to Li Xuan.
It's useless.
The next second, Li Xuan put down his phone, turned around and looked at Zhang Zhihua for the first time today: "He is my assistant, how can he come?" He smiled coldly, "But you, are you looking for trouble so early in the morning?"
His tone was very calm, and Zhang Zhihua couldn't tell whether he was looking for trouble or looking for death. He just felt a breath of inspiration rushing up, and wanted to curse, but when he met Li Xuan's cold eyes, it was like a spoonful of ice water was poured on his head, and his anger was suppressed.
It's really different from before. Zhang Zhihua recalled the scolding he received at Sheng Min's house that morning, and he actually felt a little afraid of him. How could it be possible? How could a person be reborn in such a short time
The scene froze. Sheng Min raised his hand to the makeup artist who had been standing at the door watching the situation and said, "Come in and put on your makeup."
The makeup artist was afraid that they would quarrel again, so she didn't dare to come in. Sheng Min had no choice but to poke Li Xuan gently. He was standing and Li Xuan was sitting, so he poked him right on the waist.
"Itchy." Li Xuan frowned, but turned his face away without saying anything else.
Zhang Zhihua finally regained some of his senses and stopped being so presumptuous. He said to the makeup artist, "I have a bad temper now."
The makeup artist smiled awkwardly and didn't respond. Zhang Zhihua was so annoyed that he left the lounge with a face that was neither a nose nor a face. Yang Xu followed him out to meet with the brand owner.
The makeup artist was a middle-aged woman in her forties. She had done makeup for Sheng Min before and was familiar with his skin and face shape. She was calm and usually didn't talk much, but after today's commotion, she moved more quickly. She took the brush and set the makeup, packed up her makeup bag and left.
"What the hell is this?" Li Xuan half-closed his eyes and raised his hand to fan randomly, "I can't breathe."
In fact, Sheng Min had a good foundation, and her foundation was only light. Li Xuan was just not used to it. Sheng Min held his arm and said, "Don't touch it, your makeup will be smudged. I'll remove it after the shoot, it'll be quick." She glanced at the watch and thought there was still time, so she asked him, "Do you want to take another look at the advertising plan?"
In fact, they had already looked at it once on the way, but Li Xuan just glanced at it roughly for two minutes, just like he did last night, which made Sheng Min a little worried.
Hearing this, Li Xuan turned his head to look at him and lazily raised three fingers.
"What?" Sheng Min was puzzled.
"It's three pages in total. In addition to the company profile, there is the advertising strategy. Do I need to memorize it?" Li Xuan said, paused, and began to read in a flat tone, "In 1878, this brand was established in Switzerland. After a century of development, it has become a world-renowned high-end watch and jewelry brand... The product style is..."
Sheng Min suddenly realized that he was reciting the contents of the plan and asked in surprise, "You memorized it? ... Okay, okay, I know you remembered it."
"The product style is classical and sophisticated, simple and beautiful." Li Xuan insisted on reciting the last point before stopping and glancing at him.
Sheng Min looked down at the plan, which was exactly the same. She was surprised: "You memorized it all? You only looked at it for a short while..."
"First you said I have a bad temper, and now you think I'm not serious." Li Xuan interrupted him, took a sip of the water, and said calmly, "You are very arrogant today."
"You know that's not what I meant." Sheng Min said. Seeing that he didn't seem really angry, she was curious, "Did you really memorize it all?"
"What do you think?"
"Why do you always make me guess?" Sheng Min said in a low voice.
Li Xuan found his expression interesting and smiled: "Of course I..."
"Teacher Sheng." Before he finished speaking, someone knocked on the door frame. It was a staff member from the brand. "The shooting is about to begin."
"Okay." Li Xuan stood up and prepared to leave, and Sheng Min also stood up: "You just said you are what."
Li Xuan glanced at him and gently hooked his finger.
"Hmm?" Sheng Min leaned over obediently.
Li Xuan leaned his head to his ear, too close. Sheng Min wanted to move away, but was held down by the shoulder. Li Xuan's voice was full of laughter, and his breath swept across his ear like a gust of wind: "Of course I only recited the first sentence. Are you stupid?"
Sheng Min felt like a few ants crawling across his skin, and his ears were itchy. When Li Xuan walked out the door, he hurried to follow.
"You're blushing?" Li Xuan saw that half of his ear looked like it was dripping with blood, and turned back and smiled, "Then wouldn't you stutter when you talk to a little girl?"
Sheng Min pursed his lips when he heard this and said nothing.
After turning the corner, they arrived at the studio, where the staff were finishing up the props. Sheng Min took advantage of this moment to quickly explain to him how to view the camera position. Li Xuan nodded, indicating that he understood. Sheng Min could only believe that he remembered everything, and briefly mentioned some points to pay attention to. The director on the other end shouted to start shooting.
Sheng Min stepped aside nervously. A female staff member saw that he was a unfamiliar and handsome face and thought that he was a newly signed star who followed his senior to join in the fun, so she approached him tentatively.
Sheng Min was really nervous and didn't have the mood to say much to her. He just smiled and dealt with it, staring at the center of the set.
It turned out that this worry was justified. After all, Li Xuan had never been involved in this before, and the director just assumed that he should be familiar with it, and did not give much guidance. After filming for a while, he felt something was wrong.
"Teacher Sheng." The director called a stop. "You're not in a good state today. Do you need to rest for a while?"
Li Xuan did not respond immediately, and Sheng Min was a little worried. Then he saw Li Xuan step over the silver decorations on the ground and walk to the director: "Let me check the monitor."
His tone was very calm, he didn't seem embarrassed or annoyed by being pointed out for not doing it well, nor did he seem worried that he couldn't solve the problem. He bent down and carefully watched the content he had just filmed for a while, then stood up and looked around at the cameras around him.
Sheng Min came over, not caring whether the staff would find it strange, and wanted to tell Li Xuan again. Li Xuan noticed his intention, waved his hand gently, and looked at the monitor again, frowning slightly, as if thinking about something. His expression was serious, just like when he was sitting in the study facing the computer.
"Teacher Sheng, what are you looking at? Is the light wrong today?" asked the director.
"No." Li Xuan said, straightened up and glanced at Sheng Min, signaling him to be at ease, with a calm look. Sheng Min's heart was strangely settled in his eyes. Then Li Xuan walked back to the curtain: "Let's start."
It actually got much better after we started filming again.
Of course, Li Xuan is a novice after all, his body is somewhat stiff, and his expression is always cold when facing a group of strangers. But this is an advertisement for high-end watches, and such coldness actually fits the tone of the brand. The result of the photo is not perfect, but it is still good.
"Okay. Pass." The director took two takes and added some more detailed expressions, and finished the filming before Li Xuan ran out of patience.
The staff came over and said thank you for your hard work. Sheng Min was afraid that he would be impatient, but Li Xuan nodded reluctantly, saying that everyone had worked hard, and then he breathed a sigh of relief when he returned to the lounge.
Sheng Min handed him the water and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
"It's hard." Li Xuan snorted.
"Why are you treating me differently?" Sheng Min laughed, "Just sit for a while and the makeup artist will come to remove the makeup, and then we'll go back."
Li Xuan hummed. After wearing makeup for a long time, it wasn't so uncomfortable anymore.
He glanced at the mirror, and the circle of lights next to the makeup mirror illuminated the face of the person in the mirror. Her face was smooth, her jaw was delicate, her eyebrows were gentle, she had a pair of slightly upturned peach blossom eyes, a small bead on her lips, and a high and straight nose, which neutralized the softness and femininity.
Both her appearance and features were good. Li Xuan recalled what he had just seen on the monitor. There was no angle that was not beautiful.
Li Xuan had never observed a man so carefully before. In fact, he didn't even look at women. For a long time in his life, he was alone and didn't bother to look at others.
"you... ... "
"how?"
Li Xuan spoke subconsciously and didn't want to say anything, but Sheng Min waited for what to say next without blinking.
"You are really pretty." Li Xuan coughed.
"Ah." Sheng Min didn't expect this sentence, and didn't know how to respond. After a while, his ears turned red again. "Thank you."
Even more strange. Li Xuan grabbed the cup and took a sip of water, then said casually, "Where did Yang Xu go again?"
"I don't know." Sheng Min answered honestly.
It doesn’t matter if I don’t know. Li Xuan thought, I don’t really want to ask.
The air seemed to be awkward for some reason, but luckily Sheng Min's phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the caller ID and said, "I'm going out to answer the call."
Li Xuan saw that he looked unhappy: "Well, remember to turn on the voice changer."
