Chapter 13: Darkness
Lin Xiao has seen the pictures in the Fantes store countless times, and he has been mentally prepared for a long time, but when these freshly baked photos appeared in front of him again, Lin Xiao was inevitably shocked.
Ugly, it's so ugly!
In other words, it is more appropriate to express it with "vulgar".
In fact, there is no big problem with the picture, and the composition and color matching are all very ordinary types, but the problem is that they are too ordinary.
The red walls of Foreigner's Street, coffee-colored floor tiles, and colorful flowers are placed next to them, and slender and petite models wear extremely delicate and slim clothes, and hold a cup of coffee in their hands. The smile is sweet and the demeanor is full of marks, which makes people can't fault it at all.
Open Taobao, eight out of ten women's clothing stores of the same age have a similar shooting style. Is it good-looking? In terms of people and photos, it's really good-looking. But it's too good-looking, and it doesn't have its own characteristics after the fat powder is too heavy, like a network map casually searched on the Internet.
Seeing Lin Xiao's expression of wanting to speak and stopping, Huang Lu, who was originally quite satisfied with this, gradually lost his face at this time, and after thinking about it, he coughed lightly twice and asked, "What do you think?"
Lin Xiao looked at him, and then looked at the almost identical "sweet" photos on the screen, and finally chose to say directly: "I don't think it's any better." "I've been using my voice too much in the past few days, and the few sips of water I drank just now haven't made her feel better, and she almost didn't succeed in making a sound when she first said this sentence.
Huang Lu didn't notice this detail, and his attention was all on the words "not good". From early morning to midnight, after a hard day's work, he finally got a fluttering "not good" evaluation, and he didn't get angry on the spot, Huang Lu felt that it was his own reason.
"What do you say?" Huang Lu took the cup from the side and silently poured himself a glass of water.
"Isn't this model good-looking?"
Lin Xiao shook his head.
Now the detail page doesn't just need photos, but also videos. Flat photos can be retouched, but if you want the clothes to not change color, the video can hardly make any unnecessary changes, and the models in the video are all good-looking, and the reality will only look better.
"Why is that?" Huang Lu dragged over the chair and sat down, and unwillingly clicked on a lot of photos and videos.
"It's so exquisite. Lin Xiao thought for a while and said, "The model's figure and appearance are completely impeccable, but they are too exquisite." ”
"Isn't it good to be exquisite?"
"Okay, but ......"
Before Lin Xiao finished speaking, Huang Lu crackled on the keyboard with both hands, and quickly searched for another store on the website.
Just by looking at the homepage, Lin Xiao recognized at a glance that this store was VENUS that Lin Fang often put them in advance.
VENUS is a local brand, taking the light luxury route, and has developed well in recent years. In Lin Xiao's previous company, many little girls who had just worked would go shopping every once in a while. With an offline physical store, it is natural that you will be more cautious in choosing models. VENUS has selected several models at the same time, and the main focus is on oil painting girly style, and it is difficult for other stores to imitate the same style, unless they also invite several models that are exactly the same at the same time. But in this way, it will also be obvious that it is linked to plagiarism, and everything can only be imitated.
Vantes is one of the many imitators who has done a very little obvious.
imitated, but did not copy and copy, but combined with their own actual situation, made certain changes.
Vantas walks in the British style, and every detail reveals exquisiteness. But after all, it's not a hard photo of a magazine, so on the basis of refinement, you also need to add the casualness that belongs to the online store.
Coming and going, at first glance, it is not much different from countless online stores. Even if there is, people who go to shopping websites are more likely to maintain a state of wandering, clicking on them when they look at them, and will not carefully study the differences.
Good looks are good-looking, but compared with too many exactly the same good-looking side by side, it will only look ordinary or even vulgar.
Lin Xiao tried to slow down the speed of speech word by word, so that his voice would not be too burdened all of a sudden.
But in Huang Lu's ears, he was like a person who has always been very fast and fast-talking, and he rarely opened the earnest teaching mode, which made him a little angry all of a sudden. Listening to it, I really listened to it a lot.
Of course, these are just my personal opinions. Lin Xiao took a sip of water, and then slowly continued: "You are professional in this area. ”
It is precisely because of professionalism that I look at a large number of similar things every day, and it is difficult to get out of the identity and perspective of a "professional", and simply comment on the good and bad and aesthetic advantages and disadvantages from the perspective of ordinary people.
Huang Lu fell into deep thought, Lin Xiao is just a newcomer who has just come into contact with online stores, and it is already very good to be able to give his own ideas, and he has no clue about his opinions on improvement.
Quite rarely, the problem is just raised, and there is no corresponding solution.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Huang Lu waved his hand and motioned for her to get off work first. Lin Xiao packed up his things, and after entering the elevator, he suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to say a suggestion he wanted to make before.
Thinking about it like this, Lin Xiao walked out of the elevator wrapped in a coat, and when he was taking the key to his bag, he caught a glimpse of a person in the afterglow.
The other party was standing next to the street lamp, looking down at his phone, and kicking the stones on the side of the road in boredom. Just looking at the back, it seems to be a bit like Xu Yuanhang's girlfriend, Qi Ji.
Lin Xiao subconsciously looked upstairs, the lights in Xu Yuanhang's room were still on, but the windows were tightly closed because of the cold wind howling outside.
Without much hesitation, Lin Xiao took a few steps forward, spoke tentatively, and shouted, "Qi Ji?"
It's just that the voice is too small, and as soon as he speaks, he is drowned in the wind.
Lin Xiao had no choice but to shout in a louder voice as much as possible, Qi Ji turned around when he heard the voice, with apprehension and joy in his eyes that had not yet dissipated.
After seeing that the person in front of him was Lin Xiao, his apprehension and joy instantly turned into doubts.
Lin Xiao: "It's really you?"
"Why are you here?" Qi Ji finished speaking, and subconsciously glanced at the residential building behind Lin Xiao.
"I'm ......" Lin Xiao glanced back at her line of sight and said, "I just happened to have something to come here." Although he knew that Qi Ji was not very curious, Lin Xiao still didn't want the other party to know that he had changed jobs, so he still came to such a store to do a "live broadcast".
After speaking, in the other party's more puzzled eyes, Lin Xiao hurriedly added, "I didn't come to find Xu Yuanhang, I went to the shop opposite him." ”
"Oh. Qi Ji's nervous expression suddenly eased a lot, and said, "I still run the factory at night." ”
There are a lot of small workshops here, and Xu Yuanhang always had to run the factory all the time, and sometimes he would delay until the evening. Qi Ji didn't know much about Lin Xiao's specific work, but she only knew that almost all of them were very good in the garment industry, so she thought that she, like Xu Yuanhang, also needed to run factories and the like often.
"Hmm. Lin Xiao didn't want to dwell on this topic, so after answering vaguely twice, he turned the topic around: "Why are you here?" After speaking, he consciously glanced sideways at the residential building behind him, and asked clearly: "Are you looking for Xu Yuanhang?"
"Well," Qi Ji nodded first, then quickly shook his head in denial, and said, "No, it's ......."
After talking for a while, he was about to say goodbye in a round, when he heard the other party say softly: "I went out with him today to take pictures, so I came with me." ”
The model in Xu Yuanhang's store turned out to be Qi Ji!
The moment Lin Xiao knew about this, anger ignited in his heart. Although it is said that the matter between the two lovers, the person next to him is not good, and he has no position to say something. But they all broke up, and it was really unreasonable to ask the other party to help them.
In the relationship between the sexes, it is usually the woman who is more soft-hearted.
Seeing Lin Xiao's expression, Qi Ji knew that the other party might have misunderstood, and hurriedly explained, saying: "This is not the last wave of new and group purchases before Double 11, so I want to help." ”
Lin Xiao was silent, Qi Ji's mood calmed down a lot at this moment, and his tone was much more relaxed than just now: "Even if you break up, it can't affect your work, after all, everyone still has to earn money." At the end, he even laughed softly.
Lin Xiao thought about it, too.
The Hanfu circle is small, and most of the shops are personally attended by the boss, whether it is a model or customer service, almost everyone in the circle knows it clearly. Not to mention, the love history of Xu Yuanhang and Qi Ji can be regarded as a "vigorous" fairy couple in itself.
When it came to the promotion, the two of them broke up and broke up, which was only harmful to the store business.
Between people who have been in love for many years, the lives and work of both parties are firmly tied to each other, and breaking up is not just a fluttering sentence or two and deletion and blocking. The longer you walk together, the more you need to take care of at the end of the day.
Sadly, the things that need to be taken care of in the end are mostly not emotional.
Lin Xiao didn't continue, looked around, and asked, "Then how are you going to go back later?"
There are many small workshops in the community that are still working all night, and there are generally no safety problems, but a long way out of the community is a relatively remote and deserted road, if Qi Ji is walking alone, Lin Xiao is really not at ease.
"I'm ......" Qi Ji paused for a moment, then raised his head to look at Lin Xiao and said, "I live in the city, can you take me down by the way?" She spoke a little fast, as if she had finally mustered up the courage to make a decision, if it was slow, it might not be this decision.
"Ahh Lin Xiao subconsciously responded, and after speaking, he pointed to the little electric donkey not far away, a little embarrassed: "But I don't have a car now, so it may be a little cold to ride back to the city like this." ”
"Well, it's fine. Qi Ji tugged at the corners of his mouth and smiled lightly.
The lights in the community, which had been dim for a long time, suddenly flashed, and there seemed to be tears flashing in Qi Ji's bright and bright eyes.
The night breeze blew in my ears and whined. Through the clothes of the two of them, Lin Xiao could clearly feel that the person behind him seemed to be trembling slightly.
She didn't ask Qi Ji why she was still standing downstairs at night after taking the photo, just as Qi Ji didn't ask her, where was the car that she had saved for a long time before she bought it, and took Xu Yuanhang and the three of them to run around the city excitedly.
Lin Xiao looked up at the dark front, and suddenly thought of the scene not long ago when she helped Xu Yuanhang move.
There was work, but she didn't feel the slightest excitement.
It was still rampage in the dark, accompanied by an unpleasant pain in the throat like a fire.
