Chapter 727: Master Of Photography (4)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
There was only one person shooting today. It was the man who came up with Director Shang.
The popular movie king of the entertainment industry: Ji Jin.
After filming his first movie, this movie king got really popular. What was more amazing was that this movie was a modern war film. It was not an idol movie.
After that, Ji Jin started to gain popularity. By now, he was enjoying great popularity and even got the title of the movie king this year.
He was one of the most popular people in the industry now.
However, there was much gossip about him too. There would be rumors about him every few days and he changed his girlfriends as often as he drank water.
Director Shang grabbed Ming Shu and reminded her, “Little Qiao, Ji Jin’s time is very hard to acquire. He only has an afternoon for us. You must shoot him nicely.”
Director Shang passed his stress to Ming Shu.
“My time is precious too.” As a genius photographer, Jiang Qiao had many people looking for her.
It was hard to acquire the time of a good photographer, much less those that had a weird temper who rejected a deal just because they didn’t want to.
Jiang Qiao must have agreed to help because of Director Shang.
“... I will give you more money this time,” Director Shang promised.
Ming Shu and Director Shang made an agreement. She took out a packet of small mantou from her bag and found a place to sit down.
Ji Jin was still in the dressing room. The people in the studio walked back and forth. Ming Shu seemed to be the only one that looked very free.
“Wow—”
The people in the studio gasped. Ming Shu raised her head and looked over. Ji Jin had come out of the dressing room.
He wore a pure white suit and his sunglasses covered half of his face. However, from his chin and the shape of his lips, you could tell that this person was really handsome.
There seemed to be an aura around him. No matter where he stood, he would be in the limelight.
“Little Qiao, let’s start.” Director Shang saw Ming Shu resting at the side and called her hurriedly.
Ji Jin was listening to the manager telling him about the theme for the shoot.
He saw Director Shang pulling a girl over and pulled his sunglasses down with his forefinger. His tone was doubtful. “Why is it a girl? And why is she so young? Can she shoot properly? Find another person for me. I don’t want a girl.”
His voice was filled with contempt at the end.
“If your photos aren’t good, blame yourself for being ugly.” So what if I’m a girl? Is your girlfriend not a girl?
The place turned silent for a few seconds.
Director Shang and the manager both looked as though they saw a ghost.
They hadn’t started shooting and both parties were already unhappy with each other? What would happen later then?
“Are you saying that I’m ugly?” Ji Jin took off his sunglasses and pointed at Ming Shu. “Did you hear her? She dares to say that I’m ugly?”
The last sentence was directed at his manager.
“I didn’t say it. You said it yourself.” Ming Shu finished her small buns and raised her eyebrows slowly. She smiled brightly. “Are you shooting? If you’re not shooting, I will leave. I’m very busy.”
Ji Jin wanted to go over and make trouble with Ming Shu, but he got stopped by his manager.
Ji Jin glared at Ming Shu and put his sunglasses back.
With the professional knowledge from the Host, Ming Shu managed to get the hang of it really quickly. She found out how to use these things in just a moment.
Yes, before this, she didn’t know about aperture, focus, depth of field, the position of light...
Ming Shu learned things very quickly, especially things like this which were stored in the Host’s memory.
She tried a few times and started after a while.
[...] This is too casual. This is not fighting, you can’t just win after you knock out the other person.
Ji Jin was really photogenic. The person in the photo would look really handsome even if she just took a random photo.
Ji Jin always took photos like this so there was no need to emphasize on his posture and gaze. He could just do it on his own.
However, Ming Shu took it really casually. She didn’t seem as serious and precise as the other photographers.
Sometimes, after shooting for a while, she would rest and eat some food. There was no professionalism in her actions at all.
“Director Shang, is this the professional photographer that you found for us?” Ji Jin bore with it for a while and finally couldn’t control himself anymore.
He had seen many photographers but never met someone like this.
Director Shang hurriedly went forward to console him. “Mister Ji, you can rest first...”
Commercial photographers were different from freelance photographers like Jiang Qiao. Freelance photographers had a weird temper, but they had the techniques and abilities.
“So what if you have the abilities? If I want to destroy her, she will not be able to...”
The pleasant voice of the girl sounded behind them. “If I want you to look really ugly, you will look really ugly.”
Ji Jin turned his head back and met the clear eyes of the girl.
His eyes darkened. “What did you say?”
Ming Shu didn’t reply to him. She just took her camera.
There was a photo in it. It was him talking just now. He didn’t know how she took it but he looked really ugly.
The photo was still in the camera so it could not be the result of Photoshop.
“Delete it!” Ji Jin slammed the table. He was furious. “Delete it for me!”
How could he look so ugly?
“If you dare to do anything to me, I don’t mind helping you advertise yourself.” Ming Shu paused and smiled as she continued, “Who doesn’t have dark secrets? You do not have to worry, Movie King Ji. You might just be laughed at for a while. After all, there are so many rumors in your industry. It will be fine after a few days.”
An artist never wanted to provoke a stylist.
However, Ji Jin never expected that he couldn’t provoke a photographer too.
“You, you, you, you...” Ji Jin was so angry his finger shook. He pointed at Ming Shu for half the day, but nothing came out of his mouth.
Ming Shu smiled and took back the camera. She glanced at the rose on the side and placed it in Ji Jin’s suit pocket. “Movie King Ji, let’s continue shooting. If you waste my time, you will not be able to bear the consequences.”
Ji Jin looked at his manager. “Look at her attitude! No way, show me all the photos she took before this. Who knows what she took for me! This photographer is not good at all!!”
The manager was worried too. This photographer was from different from other photographers.
“Director Shang, you...” The manager discussed with Director Shang.
Ming Shu felt that Ji Jin was being too troublesome. However, Director Shang was really easy to talk to so she still showed them the photos.
Besides that one weird photo, the rest of the photos were normal. You could even say that she made Ji Jin look really handsome. Some photos could even be published without editing.
“You still have some ability...” Ji Jin muttered. He seemed a little angry.
He couldn’t understand why a young girl like her would have such good techniques.
“Fine, hurry up and shoot. We still have an event in the evening.” The manager reminded Ji Jin of his schedule.
Ji Jin returned to the set again.
A pure white suit with a blood red rose. The imagery changed immediately.
“Move to the left a little... put your hands down. Raise your chin. Your gaze...”
Photographer Ming Shu started ordering him around.
Ji Jin wanted to explode. Do I not know how to pose? Do I need you to teach me?!
“Take off the outerwear and hook it on your finger. Fling it back. Stylist, mess his hair up a little. Sprinkle some rose petals on the ground. Not too much, a few pieces will do the job...”
The workers quickly prepared the set according to what Ming Shu said.
“I asked you to mess up his hair a little. Is this called messing up?” Ming Shu walked over and before Ji Jin could react, she grabbed his hair and pulled it. “This is called messy. Messy but beautiful. Not bad.”
The stylist: “...” Are you kidding me?
Ji Jin: “...” Drag this woman out for me!!
“What are you smiling at?” Ming Shu shifted her gaze from the camera. “Be more fierce... Do you know how to be more fierce? Did you buy your movie king title?”
