NOVEL NEXT Chapter 289 Fans_2
"No need, I'll do it myself, I believe I can do it."
Before the director could finish speaking, Yang Xiaoxiu shook her head firmly.
Seeing this, the director and the photographer exchanged glances, then nodded and said, "Alright, Teacher Yang, you must be careful.
Everyone else will be right beside you making all the safety arrangements, ensuring nothing unexpected happens."
Right after, once Yang Xiaoxiu cautiously climbed onto the high stool and struck a pose, the photographer quickly pressed the shutter, capturing this brilliant moment.
Looking at the finished shot, the director nodded in satisfaction and whispered to the assistant beside him:
"She must have practiced this move at home, otherwise, it couldn't be so natural."
"Yeah, it's rare to see such a young star treating their work in our field so seriously."
Upon hearing this, the director sighed with emotion, "Indeed, some celebrities are so quick to worry about getting hurt, crying out over the smallest touch.
I have a feeling that this Yang Xiaoxiu might carve out a niche for herself in the entertainment industry..."
...
In the waiting area of the first-floor lobby of the advertising company, several tables and chairs were set up for people to rest and wait.
Li Jing, feeling refreshed after leaving the massage parlor, checked the time and realized it would be a bit before Yang Xiaoxiu finished, so he waited in the lobby.
"Hey, is anyone sitting here?"
A crew-cut man pointed at the sofa opposite Li Jing and asked, "Mind if I sit here?"
Li Jing glanced at him and checked around to confirm the other seats were occupied, then nodded and said, "No one's here, go ahead."
"Great, thanks."
The crew-cut man removed his backpack and placed it to the side, then started to survey the surroundings after sitting down.
After a few minutes of silence, feeling it was awkward to sit opposite Li Jing without talking, the crew-cut man glanced at Li Jing who was on his phone and initiated a conversation: "Hey, are you waiting for someone?"
"Yeah."
Li Jing nodded slightly, continuing to look at his phone, not intending to say much more.
However, the crew-cut guy seemed to be a chatterbox and had no intention of stopping there, continuing: "I'm also waiting for someone, I just passed the interview at this company, waiting for their photographer to take me out for some outdoor shots today."
Regardless of whether Li Jing was listening or not, he remarked, "It's a pity that the photographers I'm following now are shooting commercial ads for shops or enterprises.
I applied here because this ad company often has celebrities coming in, but according to what they said, I might not get to photograph celebrities for another one or two years."
Perhaps feeling bored from waiting, Li Jing glanced at him and said, "Isn't photographing celebrities the same as photographing anything else?"
"That's different. Celebrities are much better looking, especially female stars. I wouldn't feel tired even after shooting for a day, and might even strike up a conversation with them."
Talking about female celebrities, the crew-cut guy's eyes sparkled with excitement: "And having contact with them, just posting something casually on social media could make many people envious."
Upon hearing this, Li Jing raised an eyebrow: "So you like more than just photography, you like interacting with female stars?"
"Not really, I do love photography, but I love photographing female stars even more. Compared to ordinary people, female stars are just much more photogenic, really ignite my creative impulses."
While speaking, the crew-cut guy curiously eyed Li Jing's outfit: "Hey, your clothes don't seem cheap. Are you a client here or waiting for a friend?"
"Just waiting for a friend; she's got a shoot here, and I'm waiting to leave with her."
"Oh! I figured. You don't look like the staff here."
The crew-cut guy acted as if he guessed right: "Your friend works in the industry too, right? You could ask her later; I'm sure she prefers shooting female stars too.
Compared to shooting buildings and sceneries, female stars are like already-dressed artwork, making for great pictures."
Hearing this, Li Jing just smiled and said nothing.
"By the way, I heard there might be a big star shooting here today."
The crew-cut guy glanced towards the elevator, nodding mysteriously at Li Jing: "Do you know who it is?"
"Big star?" Li Jing frowned, then shook his head indicating he didn't know.
"Well, I got inside info and thought I'd share since we got to chatting."
The crew-cut guy leaned closer proudly: "Today, Yang Xiaoxiu is shooting here. Don't go spreading this and draw a crowd."
"Yang Xiaoxiu?"
Li Jing raised an eyebrow: "She's not a big star, right?"
In Li Jing's eyes, Yang Xiaoxiu was just a newcomer who hadn't graduated yet; when did she become a big star?
"Of course, she may not be a true superstar yet, but among the newcomers, she's already quite renowned!"
Upon seeing Li Jing question Yang Xiaoxiu, the crew-cut guy became dissatisfied: "She's my newly acknowledged first-love goddess. Haven't you seen her on short video apps?"
When Li Jing shook his head, the crew-cut guy whipped out his phone to prove his point, opening the short video app for Li Jing:
"Look, the first video I open is a clip of Yang Xiaoxiu on a variety show."
"And this, look, is her performing a dance skill on a show. This dance even trended, absolutely stunning."
"This one, this one, is behind-the-scenes from her movie shoot. See, she's helping the crew move props too, no airs at all..."
Watching the videos on the guy's phone, Li Jing was a bit surprised: "There are so many people posting clips of her already?
Could it be because you follow this stuff, that's why you see it?"
"Not at all, why won't you believe me?"
Upon hearing this, the crew-cut guy became increasingly indignant: "She's been trending recently; those variety show clips really went viral. Though she can't compare to genuine big stars, she's absolutely one of the hottest young stars being talked about!"
