It was inevitable that once the public was talking about it, rumors about the combination would once again spread like wildfire, especially Fang Juexia, who was known for his bloodthirsty nature. However, compared to before, he received more support and support from fans. For the first time, there were more clarifications on Weibo than there were rumors. Many haters criticized him for being a masochist.
Fang Juexia, who was at the center of the whirlpool, was not in the mood or time to pay attention to these things. After the live broadcast incident, Kaledo's commercial activities soared. Brands and major program groups extended olive branches to them. They had much more to do than pay attention to the public opinion on the Internet.
The other members had their own personal schedules. Fang Juexia's recent work was to shoot a double magazine cover with Pei Tingsong. This cover was his first fashion resource, and it was one of the five major magazines. If the effect was good, it would unlock a new circle. If the effect was bad, it would crash.
At half past five in the morning, Cheng Qiang came to the dormitory to wake Fang Juexia and Pei Tingsong up for the magazine shoot. The weather was getting colder, and it snowed heavily at night.
Pei Tingsong woke up grumpily. She pulled a long face when she went to the styling room to choose clothes. She did not even want to pretend to be a kind and dedicated idol. She was like an evil spirit from hell who was sent to punish others but overworked. Fang Juexia thought of this strange analogy.
"Morning ~" The door was pushed open, and a tall and strong man wearing a fluorescent down jacket came in. His rough voice was sharp. "Hi ~ I'm today's styling director. You can call me Andy." His fingernails were very long, and they were covered with sparkles and broken diamonds. Fang Juexia smiled politely at him. "Hello."
"Are you bare-faced, dear?!" Andy spoke in an exaggerated manner, like an actress in a musical. He suddenly came closer, and Fang Juexia unconsciously leaned back. "Wow, you have the fairest skin among all the male artists I've worked with. Many artists like to set up a fair-skinned image for themselves, but in fact, they have to put on three layers of makeup in private." As he spoke, he suddenly noticed the birthmark at the corner of Fang Juexia's eye. He reached out to rub it. "G, I've always been curious. The one on your face …"
"Don't be curious, it's true." Pei Tingsong grabbed his hand and took it away from Fang Juexia's face. Pei Tingsong had a fake smile on his face. "Brother Andy, isn't it time to find clothes for us?"
When Andy saw Pei Tingsong, his expression suddenly became a little shy. He patted Pei Tingsong's sleeves and said, "Aiya, yes, yes, yes, look for clothes. Tingsong is so tall. You should be a model. "Pei Tingsong was rarely called that. He got goosebumps and immediately let go. Andy took off his jacket, revealing the slightly slim-fit black knitted sweater inside. He reached out to fan himself. "Jojo, take out the styling proposal."
Fang Juexia didn't have a good impression of Andy. He was used to the staff looking down on him. Most of the time, he looked worse with makeup than without. Idols were different from other artists. They cared a lot about styling. The status of a stylist was only high in this small circle. This Andy was very famous, but he didn't put on airs. It was already very good. He glanced at Pei Tingsong. He felt that his reaction was much more obvious.
It seemed that he really wasn't gay, Fang Juexia thought.
Jojo, the styling assistant who distributed the materials, was a girl who spoke quickly. "It's going to be spring soon. This time, the magazine has decided on the concept of Spring with Flowers. That's because the location of the studio is in a greenhouse. Our styling will be done with natural scenery like flowers and plants."
At this time, Xiao Zhou, the photographer's assistant who was in charge of communicating with the styling department about the makeup, came in. He discussed with Andy for a while and confirmed the makeup design again.
Fang Juexia flipped open their proposal. There were some abstract design drafts and color matching plans. It looked good, but his memory was too good. He remembered that the role of the male actor who intercepted the male lead was a florist. This proposal seemed to be tailor-made for him.
He flipped to the back. Sure enough, whether it was the concept or the overall style, it was born out of the florist theme. From the description of the concept, the relevant parts of "spring" seemed to be added later. It seemed very temporary.
However, Fang Juexia knew in his heart that with his qualifications, he couldn't ask for too much. If this was work on the stage, he would definitely not let it go. Even if there was a slight flaw in the headset, he wouldn't accept it. But other than that, he wasn't very enthusiastic about work. Naturally, he wouldn't fight for it.
The photographer's assistant also cooperated. "Yes, the magazine also thinks that the image and temperament of the two of you are very compatible with the concept of spring. The style of the flower boy has been enduring for a long time, and the two of you have been very popular recently. So, we are inclined to use the similar style to create the concept of twins."
It seemed like they wanted to make it convenient and simple, so they let the two of them use the previous florist's proposal. Fang Juexia closed the proposal. He was vaguely worried that this kind of florist makeup on his face would make him look feminine or tacky.
"So, we will highlight the similarities between the two of you in the makeup …"
"Sorry." The assistant's words were interrupted.
Fang Juexia turned around and saw Pei Tingsong slowly raise his hand. "Can I join the discussion?"
It was common for artists' teams to interfere with filming. He had seen many rude requests before, so the surprise on the photographer's assistant's face only flashed for a moment. "Of course."
However, Fang Juexia knew Pei Tingsong's personality. He definitely didn't just want to join the discussion. From the beginning, his expression didn't look very good.
"Then I'll say it directly. This proposal is very good." Pei Tingsong sat on the sofa and raised his head with a smile. "But it doesn't suit Juexia Ge at all."
Fang Juexia was a little stunned.
"Also, I don't look like him at all. The concept of twins will be very difficult to create. "
His words weren't tactful. Everyone present had different expressions. Cheng Qiang, who had been checking the interview outline, felt the atmosphere was awkward. He raised his head and glanced at everyone, then immediately laughed. "Our Xiao Pei is like this. He grew up abroad and says whatever he wants. You don't have to take it seriously."
Coincidentally, the door was pushed open. This time, it was the photographer Lin Mo who had arrived late. His position in the industry was extraordinary. He was best at discovering and magnifying the shining points. No matter how ordinary a model looked, he could shoot a beautiful blockbuster.
The only problem was that this photographer had a strange temper and was difficult to work with. He also took jobs based on fate. They were lucky to have been able to hire him this time. A famous overseas actor had canceled his shoot due to scheduling issues, so they were able to get Lin Mo's free shot.
"Xiao Zhou? Is the lighting ready? "His tone wasn't very good. He roughly glanced around the room." What's the problem? "
Assistant Xiao Zhou laughed dryly. "Ah, it's nothing. I'll go find the lighting engineer now."
"There's something." Pei Tingsong looked at Lin Mo and said in a neither servile nor overbearing tone, "Teacher Lin, I just read your assistant's proposal. To be honest, it doesn't seem like your style."
This job was just a fill-in job for Lin Mo. His assistant had volunteered to do the planning, so he had agreed. On the other hand, he was also biased against the profession of idols.
In his opinion, pretty faces often didn't have a story. The films they shot didn't speak and had no soul. Moreover, these pretty faces often asked for "please make me more beautiful." This made Lin Mo unable to realize the value of his work.
At first, he also thought of the two members of the boy band who had been extremely popular recently. When he heard Pei Tingsong's criticism of the proposal, his view was even more solidified. Lin Mo laughed and looked at Fang Juexia, who didn't have any reaction. "You think so too?"
Just by looking at him, he felt that Fang Juexia was more like an exquisite doll than a human being.
Fang Juexia had always been indifferent to expressing himself.
However, he inexplicably had a subtle tacit understanding with Pei Tingsong. Just like when Pei Tingsong interrupted his assistant, he immediately understood what Pei Tingsong meant by "not suitable." Originally, he wanted to compromise, just like many times before, because he felt that it wasn't important. Being perfunctory and being perfunctory were mutual.
However, Pei Tingsong refused to bow down. He wanted to stand up and lift the white cloth that was tacitly agreed upon.
As a teammate who debuted with him, Fang Juexia didn't like this kind of solitary courage. Therefore, he chose to express himself this time. Even Cheng Qiang was surprised.
"When Xiao Pei said that it wasn't suitable, he didn't deny the proposal. It's very good and very suitable for Pei Tingsong." Fang Juexia maintained a polite smile. "It's just that … if it's in line with the recent trends on the Internet, it might not be the best idea to simply assimilate the two of us. There's a big difference between us. "
Lin Mo nodded thoughtfully. His eyes swept back and forth between the two unfamiliar members of the boy band. Then, he took a proposal from the table and casually flipped through it.
"As soon as I received this proposal, I knew it wasn't from you." Pei Tingsong directly exposed him. "After all, you're a photographer who doesn't like assembly line pictorials."
Hearing this, Cheng Qiang's heart broke out in cold sweat. This was equivalent to directly slapping his studio in the face. He wanted to speak, but Fang Juexia, who was standing next to him, gently tugged on his arm to stop him.
Lin Mo stopped flipping through the book. He raised his head and squinted at Pei Tingsong. Then, he stood up and walked towards him step by step.
The atmosphere dropped to the freezing point. Even the smart Andy didn't dare to breathe loudly.
When he walked in front of Pei Tingsong, Lin Mo finally opened his mouth. "You're pretty good."
Fang Juexia silently breathed a sigh of relief.
"Xiao Zhou." Lin Mo turned around. "You're so perfunctory about this proposal. Do you think I'm also perfunctory about this job?"
These words were smooth and slick. Not only did he separate himself from the matter of the proposal, but he also expressed his work attitude.
Xiao Zhou answered submissively. His boss had a bad temper and scolded him almost every day. It was lucky that he only gave him pointers today and didn't scold him. Besides, he was indeed lazy. When he found out that the popular proposal had been retained, he went to discuss with the styling team to change it and use it again.
Lin Mo walked up to Pei Tingsong and asked in a volume that only the two of them could hear, "You can be outstanding in this shoot. Why do you want to stand out?"
"Isn't this a two-person magazine?" Pei Tingsong raised his eyebrows.
Lin Mo smiled and nodded. "You're just as your sister said."
Pei Tingsong smiled. "It's definitely not a good thing."
Lin Mo turned around. "Xiao Zhou, we're changing the proposal now. The concept of spring will only be retained in the shooting of Pei Tingsong. " Xiao Zhou hurriedly sighed and took out his laptop. He saw his boss walk up to Fang Juexia and size him up. He spoke slowly. "Just … don't make it spring. Fang Juexia's facial features are too exquisite. It's too tacky and won't be distinctive." He then asked, "What do you think?"
Fang Juexia was so silent that he didn't seem like an artist. When he heard the question, he didn't seem to have much emotion.
"Winter."
Lin Mo's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise. "Why?"
He thought of something and his slightly pursed lips suddenly curved into an imperceptible smile. However, it was completely different from his previous professional smile. It came from the bottom of his heart.
"Someone said that I look like ice."
