Multiple Personalities

Time was limited, and Lin Xiaocan immediately began shooting the cover for her single album.

"Xiaoxiao, we need to start now."

Shen Jingqi looked at Lin Xiaocan's calm demeanor.

Lin Xiaocan was wearing a shimmering long dress, the hem swaying gently, like a bright light in the Milky Way. She stood in front of the mirror, carefully scrutinizing herself, her emotions mixed. This photoshoot was not only a display of her musical talents but also a remolding of her personal image. She took a deep breath, trying to calm the waves in her heart: "I'm ready."

In the photo studio, the lighting technician was adjusting the last spotlight, and the entire space was shrouded in soft and mysterious light. On the backdrop, a vast starry sky scene was painted with special materials, as if foretelling that "Silver Light" would lead listeners through to an unknown and brilliant world.

"Lighting's OK, the camera is ready." The photographer's voice came through the headset, calm and professional.

Xiaoya walked to Lin Xiaocan's side and gently patted her shoulder: "Xiaoxiao, remember, you are the soul of this song. The you in front of the camera is the 'Silver Light' itself. Relax, and be your most authentic self."

Lin Xiaocan nodded. She slowly walked to the center of the shooting area, standing under that starry sky, closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and let herself fully immerse in the power about to burst forth.

"Three, two, one, action!" With the photographer's cue, the sound of shutters clicked incessantly. Lin Xiaocan displayed a variety of poses and emotions in front of the camera. At times she gazed at the starry sky, her eyes filled with curiosity and longing for the unknown; at times she looked down in thought, as if searching for some kind of answer deep within; at times she gently touched the hem of her dress, as if caressing the distant starlight.

During the shoot, the photographer kept giving prompts and guidance. "Xiaocan, a bit higher, yes, just like that, perfect!" "Tilt your face slightly so the light better outlines your features." Shen Jingqi pondered on the side, each suggestion of the photographer was spot on, retaining Lin Xiaocan's natural beauty while skillfully integrating the thematic elements of "Silver Light."

As the shoot progressed, Lin Xiaocan gradually found her rhythm, beginning to enjoy the process, each shutter sound seemed like applause cheering her on. Her expressions became increasingly natural, her movements smoother, as if she became one with this starry sky, this song, and this studio.

With the photographer's cue, the shutter clicked again, this time capturing Lin Xiaocan's most perfect moment. Her smile was radiant and warm, her eyes sparkled with endless anticipation for the future. At that moment, she was not only the singer of "Silver Light" but also the soul of the song, the invisible bridge connecting music and listeners.

After the shoot, the entire team was immersed in a wave of joy. They knew this shoot was not just a successful attempt but also an important milestone in Lin Xiaocan's musical journey.

And Shen Jingqi's name, due to his identity as the music producer, became closely associated with "Silver Light."

"Xiaocan, you did an amazing job! This shoot will be the most dazzling page in your music career," Xiaoya praised sincerely.

Lin Xiaocan looked at Shen Jingqi, her eyes shining with gratitude: "None of this would be possible without you, Brother Jing. Without you, there would be no 'Silver Light' today."

The two exchanged a smile.

Shen Jingqi and Lin Xiaocan stood in front of the large screen, flipping through the photos just taken, each capturing Lin Xiaocan's brilliance and beauty. However, when they reached a certain photo, their gazes froze simultaneously.

"What is this?" Lin Xiaocan's voice carried a trace of disbelief as she pointed to a blurred figure in the photo, standing behind her, dressed in a long black robe, with half a mask on their face, revealing only one deep-set eye.

Shen Jingqi moved closer to the screen, scrutinizing the figure, his eyebrows furrowed: "This... couldn't be a glitch during the shoot, could it? Mu, are you sure no one else entered the studio during the shoot?"

The photographer Mu's expression also grew grave, having never encountered such a bizarre situation in his many years of experience: "I'm certain, Mr. Shen. During the shoot, besides Xiaoxiao and our team, no one else entered the studio. And I distinctly remember not noticing this figure during the shoot."

Lin Xiaocan felt a chill run through her, instinctively leaning closer to Shen Jingqi: "What... what on earth is happening? Could it be... something supernatural?"

Shen Jingqi gently patted her shoulder, trying to soothe her: "Don't say that, Xiaocan. There must be an explanation we haven't discovered yet."

However, no matter how they checked the equipment and reviewed the shooting process, they couldn't find a reasonable explanation for the appearance of that figure. The art department tried using various techniques to remove the figure, but each attempt ended in failure. That deep-set eye seemed to possess some kind of magic, steadfastly anchored to the photo, staring at everyone who saw it.

"This is too eerie," the graphic designer Li wiped the sweat from his forehead, having never encountered such a tricky problem in his years of work, "I've tried everything, but that figure seems like it crossed over from another dimension, impossible to remove."

Shen Jingqi pondered for a moment and decided to conduct another photoshoot to verify whether the figure would appear again: "Mu, get ready, let's do it again."

Mu nodded, quickly adjusting the equipment, preparing for a new round of shooting. Although Lin Xiaocan was anxious, she understood that only by finding the truth could she dispel her fear. She took a deep breath, once again standing in the center of the shooting area, striking a pose.

"Three, two, one, action!" With the photographer's cue, the shutter clicked again. However, once the photos were developed, they were shocked to see the figure still appeared behind Lin Xiaocan, identical to the previous photo.

"How... how is this possible?" Mu's voice trembled slightly, unable to believe his eyes.

"Don't be afraid, I'm a psychiatrist."

Shen Jingqi firmly gripped the photo, his eyes filled with determination: "No matter where this figure comes from, we must find the answer. Mu, let's shoot again, this time I'll personally oversee the entire process."

Mu nodded and adjusted the equipment once more. Shen Jingqi stood in a corner of the studio, monitoring the entire shoot with a small camera. Lin Xiaocan took a deep breath and struck her pose again, ready for the shoot.

"Three, two, one, action!" The shutter clicked again, Shen Jingqi kept a close watch on the monitor screen, afraid of missing any detail. However, when the photos came out, they found that the figure stubbornly remained in the photo.
