Half an hour later.
Wei Xuâs back was soaked with cold sweat. The cold wind blew and reached her down to her bones.
The photos that she took were saved in her camera. Director Zhou looked over the photos. He was disappointed. None of them could be compared to the ones taken for Ji Jin. Some were even unacceptable.
âUncle Zhou, Iâm sorry. Iâm too nervous.â Wei Xu found an excuse for herself.
âDid you do well when you were shooting for Ji Jin?â Director Zhou sighed. However, she was his friendâs daughter so he couldnât be too harsh on her.
Most young peopleâs standard was not stable.
Yu Xiaohan posed for such a long time only to be told that the photos couldnât be used. However, she just smiled gently and followed her assistant to take a rest at the side.
Director Zhou wanted to return the camera to Wei Xu but someone snatched it from him. The person used a slight force and the camera landed in her hand.
âSenior Sister Jiang Qiao...â Wei Xu got a shock. She wanted to take the camera back.
Ming Shu took a step back and dodged Wei Xuâs hand. She flipped through the photos quickly. âJunior Sister Wei Xu, your difference in standard is really huge.â
Wei Xuâs heart was lifted. âI... I might not have performed well today. Senior Sister Jiang Qiao, give me back my camera.â
âIs this a problem of not performing well? Ming Shu smiled. She returned the camera to her. As she walked past her, she said softly, âThese are two different styles.â
Wei Xu froze on the spot. She hugged her camera tightly.
She could not have found out her secret.
She definitely would not have found out her secret...
â
Ming Shu didnât bring her camera along so she asked the production team to get one for her. The production team was stunned too. Why would they have such professional cameras?
In the end, the production team borrowed Su Nanfengâs camera.
Other peopleâs habits were different from hers so Ming Shu needed some time to adjust the camera. Yu Xiaohan finished resting and Ming Shu nodded her head to show that they could start.
Before they started, Ming Shu asked Director Zhou for a pile of snacks.
Director Zhou was confused but Ji Jin asked someone to prepare them.
Ming Shu slowly finished a pack of snacks before asking Yu Xiaohan to go to the location of the shoot.
Yu Xiaohan was wearing a fairy dress that looked really dreamy. She was already very pretty so with the makeup, she looked like a fairy from heaven.
Ming Shu used the lens to get a feel of the shoot. She suddenly turned and asked Director Zhou.
âDo you have dry ice?â
âDry ice is not edible,â Director Zhou said this for some reason.
Ming Shu: â...â Did the director have a misunderstanding about her?
I know that dry ice is inedible! It is common knowledge!
The production team definitely had dry ice since it was a common prop. Ming Shu ordered them to set up the scene. The mist couldnât be too strong. It must not cover up the peach blossoms on the ground.
Yu Xiaohan was standing in the mist. Her features were a little blurry but they could still see the outline of it. This vibe fitted the drama perfectly.
âOkay, okay, once I ask you all to fan later, turn on the fan,â Ming Shu said to the person not far away who was controlling the fan.
The crew signaled OK.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The rest of the people were still confused. They didnât know what kind of photos Ming Shu wanted to take.
âMiss Yu, are you ready?â
Yu Xiaohan nodded her head. âYes.â
âWe aim to shoot well the first time,â Ming Shu said. âLetâs get ready.â
Yu Xiaohan turned around and walked into the distance for a while. She stopped. The mist hovered near her dress.
Ming Shu signaled Yu Xiaohan to walk forward.
The beautiful lady walked over from the mist. Her faint features started getting clearer. Her expression was pure and innocent with a hint of curiosity.
The audience couldnât help but hold their breaths. They were afraid of disturbing her.
âFan.â
The wind carried the mist and the ladyâs dress. The peach blossoms on the ground started fluttering too.
When Yu Xiaohan got close, Ming Shu stopped shooting. She looked at the camera. After a while, she said, âOne more time.â
Yu Xiaohan was used to getting NG while filming. Hence, she returned to her original position quickly and get ready.
Ming Shu started again.
Everyone looked at Ming Shu. She was not like the other photographers who would take a lot of shots. From the start till the end, the sound of the shutter only sounded a few times.
Third time...
âDone.â
Ming Shu stuffed the camera into the hands beside her.
Director Zhou took it quickly and looked at the photos.
The gentle wind blew and mist flowed to the back of the scene. There were petals in the air and the mist around the ladyâs eyes clear. It instantly got brighter and clearer.
A beautiful lady appeared as one cleared the mist away. This was the vibe that the picture gave.
The mist dispersed in a natural manner. Time seemed to fast forward as the mist moved away but the person was still there.
The effects of the photo would be much better after you exported it out and Photoshopped it. However, even in its raw state, the director was really happy.
âMiss Jiang Qiao...â Director Zhou felt that once these publicity photos were released, the advance publicity of this drama was more or less settled.
âItâs my turn now, right?â Ji Jin interrupted Director Zhou. He looked at Ming Shu provokingly. âDirector Zhou, I am rushing for time.â
Director Zhouâs words got stuck in his throat. âMiss Jiang Qiao, could you shoot for Ji Jin first?â
Ming Shu glanced at Ji Jin. âHim?â
Her tone was a little weird. You could tell that something was going to happen.
Ji Jinâs heart jumped. He had a bad feeling.
As expected, Ming Shu rejected him directly. âNo.â
Director Zhou was stunned. âMiss Jiang Qiao, didnât you say that you would shoot Little Xuâs photos?â
âYes, Iâm done.â Ming Shu smiled innocently. Her tone was light and happy. âYou didnât say that I must shoot two people.â
Director Zhou: â...â F**k!
Ming Shu packed up her snacks and walked out with them.
Director Zhou chased after Ming Shu. âMiss Jiang Qiao, please reconsider it. We can negotiate the price.â
Ming Shu shook her head. âItâs not about the money.â
Director Zhou asked, âWhat is the problem then?â
Ming Shu turned and smiled. âThere is no problem. I just donât want to shoot for Ji Jin.â
What a joke, if I shoot for him, who will give me my Hatred Points!
Ming Shu purposely raised her voice so that Ji Jin could hear her.
Reject a famous person... Ji Jin is a famous person, right?!
If he is not a famous person, the Harmony System is most probably broken.
Director Zhou: â...â
He looked at Ji Jin. How did you provoke her?
Ji Jinâs expression was really bad too. He wanted to explode and find Ming Shu for trouble. His manager blocked him to prevent anything else from happening.
If you donât stop someone like Ji Jin, he would break a hole in the sky.
âWhy are you stopping me? I want to deal with her!â Ji Jin gritted his teeth.
The manager held his forehead. âHow are you going to deal with her? She is not in the entertainment industry. Even if you use your influence and stop her from getting jobs, she could send in applications anonymously. Can you stop her? Are you planning to send someone to follow her every day?â
This was a good thing about being a photographer. No matter how big the competition was, they allowed people to participate anonymously. Can Ji Jin stop her from doing it?
âWhy not!â
Ji Jin argued with the manager and tried to persuade his manager to let him fight with Ming Shu.
Director Zhou was holding onto the camera at the same moment. His heart was bleeding. There were only photos of the female protagonist. He couldnât upload it like this.
The rest of the people were stunned. They were all curious about the photos that Ming Shu took. How good must they be to for Director Zhou to have this expression?
