Off camera

Hao Feng brewed coffee, poured a cup and handed it to Su Wei, who had just arrived.

After the video conference ended yesterday, Shang Yu immediately plunged into the second wave of work, holding a meeting with the Propaganda Department to draft an official response, and then sent the press release to major websites.

This incident is different from the previous scandals, those specious ambiguities, even if you don't respond, it won't have any adverse effects. In many cases, the exposure rate maintains a stable curve in these true and false scandals.

And this time, no matter how they deal with it later, they must first come up with an attitude.

Clearly and firmly otherwise, and maintain the right to pursue it. This notice should not be long, it is just a statement, but the stakes are so important that a group of people wrote it almost word by word.

Su Wei took a few sips of coffee, first turned on the computer to read the statement, then went to major websites, and finally clicked on Ruan Chengze's Weibo. As she had expected, as time passed, the situation got worse. More and more people are participating, iron fans supporting, black fans are scolding, passers-by are watching dramas, all kinds of scolding posts, and voting posts are emerging in endlessly.

The ranking on the hot search list has been far behind the second place, as long as you can surf the Internet, you basically know this news. The rest of the seniors who don't have access to the Internet will soon learn about it on television, in newspapers and magazines, and by word of mouth among friends and relatives in the neighborhood.

As the proverb goes, good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles.

Su Wei sighed, closed the laptop, and asked Hao Feng, "Did he eat breakfast?" ”

"Came here so early to see if I had breakfast?" A languid voice came from one side, and the protagonist of the incident, who had not been present until she left, was now wrapped in a white bathrobe, leaning against the kitchen door and drinking milk. He seemed to have just finished taking a shower, his black hair was still wet, and when he saw her look over, he smiled at her, but his tone was still sarcastic, "Are you too idle?" ”

Where did Hao Feng dare to talk, pretending not to hear and continuing to pour coffee.

Su Wei put down the cup and came to him, his quiet eyes made him unhappy for a while, "Look at what!" ”

"Looks like you're in pretty good shape." She smiled, and suddenly reached out to pinch his chin and looked left and right, "I've had enough sleep, and my complexion and skin have improved." ”

In Hao Feng's eyes, this scene is actually a bit funny, Ruan Chengze is still holding a milk cup in his hand, but he is judged like a commodity by a woman who is only as tall as his chin, and it happened the day after his news event.

Looking at his face, Hao Feng just wanted to say to Su Wei - congratulations, you successfully angered him!

She spun back before the other could knock her hand off.

"Haofeng!" Su Wei picked up the coffee cup again and said slowly, "Please call Shang Yu, just say that I don't need to wait for others here, and I will start shooting in the next few days." For more details, please come to my studio today to talk about it. ”

"You...... Are you sure? "In this situation, even Haofeng understands that it is not a good time to start a new job.

Su Wei looked back at Ruan Chengze with an unpredictable expression again, and replied, "I'm OK, and the protagonist's state is OK." So, there's no need to wait any longer. ”

Haofeng didn't know how Shang Yu and Su Wei talked that day, anyway, after that day, the shooting plan was put on the agenda. It just so happened that Ruan Chengze was originally a holiday in the past few days, and with the rumors from the outside world, it was not suitable for other announcements, so two days later, a group of people started filming in Su Wei's studio.

Su Wei is a minimalist, and the villa, like her apartment, has very little furnishings. The first floor of the villa is largely empty, with only an island kitchen and bar counter. The living room was covered with a white carpet, with a large floor-to-ceiling mirror against the wall, and not even a sofa.

In a few rooms on the side, there are rows of wardrobes, jewelry cabinets and shoe cabinets, which are neatly arranged in the colors of men's and women's clothing, as well as different years, seasons and brands.

The studio is on the second floor of the villa, which is divided into two rooms by black glass sliding doors, and each studio has its own dressing room and a darkroom for photographic development. When the group arrived, Su Wei was wiping the camera lens at the long table in the studio on the left, and was arranging the background wall, adjusting the lighting, and doing some preliminary preparations.

There were two less people, and Su Wei was not ready to cooperate with unfamiliar people, so their workload naturally increased. Looking at Shang Yu's side again, except for Hao Feng and the two assistants who followed Ruan Chengze for a while, he didn't bring a few more people.

This shooting, compared with Ruan Chengze's previous ones, is very deserted.

"Let's go to the locker room over there and sit down, there's a coffee machine in it, you can do it yourself, I'll be right here." Su Wei commanded lightly, and lowered her head to fiddle with her baby camera.

In this regard, Hao Feng added in his heart: Compared with before, the treatment of this shooting is also down an unknown number of levels. Shang Yu didn't seem to care, but Ruan Chengze didn't have a seizure unexpectedly.

In the past few days, his mood has been normal. Nothing seems to have changed except that you don't have to work, and you can't be in public.

At first, Hao Feng thought that this was due to his strong psychological quality, and his attitude towards this incident was no different from what he thought. But in the past few days, he faintly felt that something was wrong.

Although he had only been with him for five or six years and had not witnessed the scene of that year, he had talked to him about it alone after he had been recognized by Shang Yu for a year.

At that time, Shang Yu told him that he encountered this kind of thing at the beginning of his entry into the entertainment industry, and he was betrayed by a trusted person, which had a great impact on him. It's just that this kind of influence, he himself refuses to admit.

Since then, Haofeng has always thought that this influence refers to his attitude towards female artists and female staff in the circle.

But it wasn't until this incident was exposed, and the past was misinterpreted and slandered by various rumors, that he understood that the impact of that incident on him was far more than that.

It's like a psychological disorder that is not easy to detect, which is fine every day, but when a certain point is touched, problems arise.

And his problem is that he doesn't want to talk about that incident at all - even after the photos were exposed and the whole world knew about it, even if Shang Yu opened his mouth, he always just smiled back.

This is not in front of the media, he doesn't need to cover it up, whether he is thunderous, emotionally anxious and scolding, there must be a way to vent. But just laughing, such an attitude, is even more worrying.

Nguyen Chengze and the others were left in the locker room for half an hour.

Half an hour later, Su Wei came in. Probably because of her work, she wore a very casual dress today, a large loose over-the-knee T-shirt, white sneakers, and a few black leather accessories wrapped around her slender wrists.

Ruan Chengze leaned on the corner of the sofa, supported his forehead and closed his eyes, and when he heard the footsteps, he opened his eyes and cast his gaze, coldly like looking at a stranger.

"Okay, styling first." Su Wei gestured to the back to come in, he smiled at Ruan Chengze, and after he sat down in front of the makeup mirror, he helped him wash his face as quickly as possible.

Because it was not a public event, he did not apply makeup, and the speed of cleaning his face was extraordinarily fast.

After applying lotion and lotion, he didn't put on makeup, but began to take care of his hair, and the black strands were all pushed up, revealing beautiful but sharp eyebrows, and then made an unintentional messy feeling.

looked at the man in the mirror, and was once again impressed by his all-no appearance and temperament, and then said that he had done it.

"That's it?" Haofeng was dumbfounded, the whole process took less than ten minutes, and he didn't even put on makeup, just kidding!?

At this time, Su Wei took a very ordinary white casual shirt and motioned him to change into it.

Ruan Chengze's eyes moved from the shirt she was carrying to her face, and he stood up without saying a word, raised an eyebrow at the woman in front of him, and then spread his hands. The meaning of that action was very obvious, asking her to help him change his clothes.

This is obviously against her. Hao Feng silently bumped his elbow, and the latter gave him a reassuring smile before going out.

Su Wei hung his shirt on the back of the chair and stepped forward to help him undress. He wore a black T-shirt today, with a gray hooded vest on the outside, and the clothes were still easy to take off, but he was too tall, and he himself was not very cooperative, so he couldn't get rid of the clothes stuck on his arms when he helped him take off the T-shirt.

Hao Feng wanted to help, but was stopped by Shang Yu on the side with his eyes.

What's the situation? Hao Feng was stunned, why is even Shang Yu weird today? He was thinking about it, but he saw Shang Yu send the two assistants out, and then gestured to him, signaling him to go out with him as well.

When Su Wei was still fighting with the T-shirt, the people in the locker room had quietly retreated.

When she saw that everyone was gone, and the guy in front of her looked down on her with an expressionless face, she unceremoniously pushed the person towards the chair, and the height gap was gone, so she pulled off his clothes and threw them away.

The man in the chair was wearing only a pair of frayed jeans, revealing the upper half of his body with smooth and jade-like skin, tight abdominal muscles, elegant and strong lines, and she looked at the jewelry belt around his waist, and then reached out to untie it.

The woman's fingers groped back and forth for the buckle on the belt around his waist, and his expression, which had no gaps, gradually cracked.

He finally couldn't hold back, grabbed her hand, and gritted his teeth in his voice, "That's how you used to change other people's clothes?" ”

There were three men who needed to do this for her, and besides, the people she was photographing weren't accompanied by a few assistants, but now she didn't want to explain it to him.

So she looked at his somewhat blue face, smiled lightly and patted his cheek with her other hand, and said in a low tone, "Be good, be quiet, when I work, I don't like models to ask questions." ”

"You-"

Before he could speak, she had leaned over, the faint breath of a woman penetrated into her nose, and as her cheeks approached, his words stopped for a moment, and for a moment, he seemed to see only the soft diamond lips in his sight.

Soon, however, she pulled out the shirt that was tucked between the back of the chair and him, and said to him, "You took the belt yourself, do you need me to help you get dressed?" ”

"Go away!" He tugged at his shirt and got up to put it on himself.

Inside the studio, waiting for Nguyen Chengze is a black mattress in the background.

Su Wei took his camera from the side, put on the black-framed glasses he used for work, and said to him while dimming the light, "Today's main task is to remove everything that the outside world has put on you, I need to see the original you." I don't care what other people do for you, I don't have a habit of getting the job done in one go. As for what the final film will be, I don't know yet, maybe it's today's return to basics, or maybe it's a completely subverted shape later. ”

For so many years, Su Wei was the first photographer who dared to talk to him like this, and Hao Feng found that Ruan Chengze's endurance was actually better than he imagined, and when he heard this, he just wrinkled his eyebrows and glared at people.

Filming has finally begun.

Brought Su Wei a wooden high-legged round chair, and after she sat down, she condescendingly looked down at the person lying on the black mattress below.

The biggest difference between an artist and a model is that the artist's photo focuses on the person itself, while the model is a tool to highlight the clothes. Depending on the emphasis, the requirements for the characters under the camera will also be different.

Most artists with average appearance need to use a lot of styling, makeup, and clothing backgrounds to assist in shooting, and artists like Ruan Chengze, whose facial features are originally like works of art, can actually shoot no matter how they are.

It's just a matter of looking at different periods and what kind of styling is needed to match the publicity.

Therefore, over the years, he has taken countless hard photos, but he has never encountered any pickiness in shooting. Many photographers are proud to work with him, such as Jun Chae.

Soon, however, Nguyen was about to encounter the first questioning from a photographer in his life.

"I really don't want you to make any deliberate expressions, but what are you trying to express with this cold face? Are you being forced to #on&bed? ”

“……”

"Unbutton the shirt twice! Both up and down, just leave two in the middle. ”

“……”

"Forget it, buckle it up, this expression and this collarbone look like you're being raped by the camera #raped."

“……”

……

On the side, Hao Feng and the two assistants were already messy in the wind.

They couldn't even sigh.

Sister, are you sure you're not playing with him?

Ten minutes later, Su Wei, who was extremely dissatisfied, jumped out of the chair, rode directly on him, and began to shoot close-ups. After a series of shutter sounds, she removed the camera and reached for his face, then delicately discerning the subtleties between the left and right faces.

Her breath was close, and her golden brown curls hung down her shoulders and landed on his forehead, causing an unbearable □□.

The artist, who endured it for more than half an hour, finally burst out of anger, "You used to take pictures of others like this?!" ”

"What's wrong with that, what's wrong with you?" Su Wei stood up half-straight, still kneeling on him with his legs apart, and looked at him with raised eyebrows, "Before you are dissatisfied, I suggest that you reflect on your cooperation, do you really think that you can be invincible in the world with this face alone?" ”

"Su Wei, you're enough!" He scolded angrily, and some pent-up emotions finally exploded, "It's nice to see me at your mercy like this, isn't it?" Yes, there are some things I can't do about it, but that doesn't mean you can deny all my efforts! I've been in this business for eleven years, and I've never thought about relying on my face once! If you want to believe those pictures, I don't care what you think! I can think whatever the love of everyone out there wants, I don't live for anyone! Never! ”

He erected himself and pushed her away, got up and strode towards the locker room.

The door to the locker room was slammed shut, and after a moment of silence, the sound of smashing things could be heard inside. Shang Yu frowned slightly, and asked a little uneasily, "Are you sure there are no glassware?" ”

"Don't worry, the cups are all plastic, it doesn't matter if the hanger or anything like that, he can't move the coffee machine, and I'll clean up other fragile items long ago - unless he picks up a chair and smashes the makeup mirror, but it shouldn't be like this!"

Sure enough, after a while, the locker room was quiet again, Su Wei waited for a while, came to the door of the locker room silently, twisted the doorknob and walked in.

Inside the door, he was sunk in the couch. There was no light on inside, only the light on the makeup mirror was still half a circle, the soft light was faint, and his cheeks were sunk between light and shadow, with the silence and loneliness after the outbreak.

She hadn't seen him look like that since she'd known him.

Nguyen Chengze has always been domineering, young, willful and flamboyant, and he lives arbitrarily. No matter how many scandals were heard before, even if he was occasionally criticized by the media, he never cared. Because he knows very well that those are just hype, for the sake of exposure, just the right amount of scandal is just a play outside of his life.

But this time, he was really injured.

Those people and media who don't know the truth just because of a few photos of him being framed, wantonly evaluate his life, tear open his scarred wounds alive, treat his hidden pain as a topic and pastime, and criticize him with righteous words. It's as if things they've never seen before their eyes are actually happening right in front of their eyes.

He's been in the business long enough to know better than anyone else the consequences of those pictures – he's really going to be at a loss for words. So hard to get to this day, a few photos are completely negative.

Even if time passes and people are no longer interested in the topic, this stain will remain in his acting career forever, and once the colored label is attached, it will be difficult to remove it. People will always only care about him in the camera, regardless of whether he is real or not.

And for those truths outside the camera, no one can see them. After all, the public does not live with him, is not in the same circle, and will never know what the truth is.

People always only believe what they want to believe.

It is precisely because he knows too much about what is about to happen in the future that he suddenly feels that everything is meaningless, and refuses to communicate even to the people around him. This is a very dangerous state, she feels it, and Shang Yu also feels it.

So the conversation in the studio that day was extraordinarily smooth, and the two had the same purpose, just to give him a way to vent. It just so happens that Su Wei is particularly good at "how to provoke him", so there is today's scene.

She walked over and sat down beside him, "Still angry?" In your heart, are you more angry at me for being Ensa, or are you more angry at what I did to you? ”

He ignored her, and she didn't care, just continued slowly, "Do you want to know where I went after I was sixteen?" ”

He folded his arms without saying a word, still deaf to her words. She didn't want him to respond, so she slowly said it by herself.

"Before I became Enza, there was a time when I was very lost. You know, the reason why I modeled was because of the original promise. When that goal was lost, I had no idea how I was going to live my life. I quit my apartment in Paris, took all my savings, didn't inform anyone, and started a solo trip. ”

A sixteen-year-old rebellious girl needs a walk-and-go trip to unload the heavy glamour and return to the simplest ordinariness.

In retrospect, it was a really blind decision.

But at that time, no one told her right or wrong, she didn't know where the direction of life was, and wanted to see if she would find it on the journey. 166 Reading Network
