376 magazine shooting
Walking into the studio, you can see that three different scenes have been built in front of you, each with a theme, one is the ruins of the end of the world, the broken buildings and the smoky scorched earth have a large sense of déjà vu; One is a modern city with a white background, and the image of a capable and neat city is eye-catching; There is also a retro study, with an old fireplace, dark brown furniture, yellowed books, delicate oil paintings, and a thick British breeze blowing in the aroma of black tea...... Each theme is rich and complete, grand and formal, which makes Lance raise his eyebrows slightly.
The interview with Us Weekly was not planned by Chaos Pictures, but was arranged by the innovative artist agency in order to "apologize". So, Lance thought the whole interview would be relatively simple, taking two hard photos of the suits, and then launching a short interview about the content of "Sin City" - in short, giving enough respect but only going through the scene.
But now it's completely different, "America Weekly" has built three complete scenes, and at least sixty sets of clothes are hung on the gantry next to it. This also means that this is not a formality of interviews, but a formal interview in which "Us Weekly" has spent a lot of effort, and the ultra-high standard of treatment is impressive.
The relationship between "USA Weekly" and Chaos Pictures is not very good, on the contrary, "Entertainment Weekly" is closer to Chaos Pictures; Moreover, "America Weekly" is still the first choice of innovative artist agencies, and now they are suddenly putting on a dragon gate array, I don't know if it is their own meaning, or the meaning of innovative artist agencies.
At this moment, a graceful/suave middle-aged man approached, with slightly curly medium-length hair hanging casually over his shoulders, gently flowing with his steps, and his neatly trimmed beard had a strong masculine charm. Simple black jeans with a red and black checked shirt, the sleeves rolled up casually to the elbows, the top three buttons scattered out, revealing a strong chest with a little chest hair, a pair of black square-rimmed glasses on the bridge of the nose, and a professional DSLR camera in his right hand. Uninhibited sensuality radiates perfectly from toe to fingertips.
With a lazy smile on his face, he combed the curls that fell on his forehead with his free left hand, "Good morning, Mr. Strello, it's a pleasure to meet you." I'm Soranti, the photographer in charge of today's work, and you can call me Mario. ”
Lance politely greeted the other and smiled and shook his left hand. "Mr. Soranti, I hope we have a happy cooperation today."
The handsome Italian guy in front of him is called Mario-Soranti (Mario-Sorrenti), he is completely self-taught, and he became famous in the world of photography at the age of twenty-one, and then created the myth of Kate-Moss, under his lens, tobacco, alcohol, nightlife, freckles, and over-skinny style carried forward in Kate. It brought the top supermodel a fashion myth that has stood for twenty years. And this year, Mario is only thirty-three years old, and he is already at the top of the industry.
This side once again confirms Lance's conjecture: "US Weekly" took great pains to present today's interview. But. Lance calmed down instead, dealing with the media is one of the jobs of an actor, both positive media and negative media, and it is enough to cover up the water and soil when the soldiers come.
"Today we're going to split it into three themes, one is the tough guy style of the end times, and I want to show a feeling similar to 'Mad Max.' Rough, bloody, dirty, intense; One is a modern urban feel, a bit of 'Tiffany's Breakfast' style, casual with a bit of formality, detached from everyday work life but not too relaxed, and the last one is the style of the British aristocracy, 'Richard III' or 'Pride and Prejudice'. Luxurious, elegant, abstinent/sexual. Mario stood in front of the three scenes and took the initiative to introduce Lance, but in just a few words, he could sketch the magnificent scene in his mind, and then he turned his head, "How is it, do you have any opinions?" ”
What Mario didn't say was that in order to prepare for today's shooting, he specially watched Lance's only appearance on TV, "The Tonight Show", and after watching the show, he refined Lance's temperament according to his own understanding, and then created these three shooting scenes, which is also his direct sense of Lance. Mario is confident that this shoot is likely to be his most satisfying work so far this year – because he has a great model and a great idea.
Lance pursed his lips, "I think I have a limited say here. "It's not that he doesn't have an opinion, it's that he knows that it's not his specialty, and even if he does, the photographer won't necessarily take it." So, I guess it's best to keep your mouth shut and give yourself over to the professionals. ”
Mario laughed and patted Lance on the shoulder - which made Lance a little uncomfortable, the American had far less physical contact than the Italians, "I thought, how about giving you to the stylist and finishing your look, while I adjust the lighting and then we get to work?" ”
"Perfect!" Lance's answer was succinct and clear.
Led by his assistant, Lance walked into the locker room with a helpless smile on his lips. The so-called locker room is actually a square space where the curtain is pulled, and anyone can lift the curtain in all directions, and then it is easily exposed. The team had time to set up such a tedious backdrop for a photoshoot, but they didn't even bother to set up a board for a dressing room.
But Lance has also heard that many professional models change their clothes directly in front of everyone - even with their whole body uncovered. It seems that in the world in front of the scenes, Lance still has a lot of things to adapt to.
Quickly undressed, passing the changed clothes through the gap in the curtain to Percy, and then taking the clothes to be worn. Percy hugged the navy blue shirt and jeans that Lance wore today, and inexplicably felt a sense of joy, and made up for the chaotic scene after Lance fell directly without standing firm, and he didn't hold back, and laughed out loud.
Lance stood inside, pausing in his movements, but he still changed his clothes neatly. After opening the curtain and walking out, Percy was stunned and laughed again, but seeing Lance's speechless expression, he held back forcefully, only to choke on his own saliva and began to cough violently.
Lance ignored Percy directly, and Shi Shiran walked in the direction of the dressing table, then sat down calmly, waiting for the makeup artist to come and start working.
Different from movie shooting, on the set of a movie, the actor will make up according to the needs of the role, and sometimes even the actor needs to be photogenic without makeup, and the actor's face will also change slightly in the camera, so there is the saying "photogenic face" in the circle. However, in the case of magazine shoots, in order to achieve better results, most of them will put on some makeup, from the most basic makeup to heavy makeup, which is possible.
For example, in the first post-apocalyptic scene, Lance had to make up and create the effect of wasteland, and he needed to create the effect of mud or oil or blood on the cheeks and body, or even wounds, but it didn't affect the overall look - after all, this was a shooting based on people, not costumes.
But after Lance sat down for a while, he found that the makeup artist had not appeared for a long time, and he was not in a hurry, so Shi Shiran picked up the magazine on the table and began to flip through it.
Katy-Williams was startled when she noticed a voice coming from her side, and she subconsciously turned her head away, and took a step back to the side, and then realized that it was actually her assistant, "Katie, you should be over, I think, he should be waiting for your work." This made Katie stunned, and then suddenly realized, and subconsciously rolled up her sleeves, but found that the sleeves had already been rolled up, so she could only lick her lips to hide her embarrassment and take a step.
Katie isn't a rookie on her first day on the job, on the contrary, she has been in the makeup industry for almost five years, and she has been a senior makeup artist for more than a year, and many major magazines are now willing to work with her - for example, today's "American Weekly", the next step is naturally to cooperate with high-fashion magazines.
However, when she saw Lance in front of her, she couldn't help but be a little stunned.
At this time, Lance was wearing a white ripped short-sleeved T-shirt with black jeans, and a pair of dark brown double-lace high-top boots on his feet. Other than that, there is no superfluous matching, and it is a tough guy dress that is concise to the extreme.
No one can deny that even the simplest shirt with suit pants can be worn by Lance to a dazzling effect, with broad shoulders, a well-proportioned figure, slender legs, and perfect proportions, all of which are coveted. But in addition, the strength and toughness of that kind of iron-blooded tough guy are impossible to pursue, and it can even be said that they are far from it. Katie is no exception.
It's just that Katie didn't expect that when Lance changed into this outfit, the effect would be so good. It's not just the relationship between the natural hangers, but also the well-proportioned and strong muscles that can be vaguely glimpsed from the tattered T-shirt, sitting on the chair with a golden knife, waiting without impatience, and the tough guy atmosphere exuded from the whole body is rushing to the face.
This led Katie to be stunned for a moment - she even suspected that it was not Lance in front of her, but Lance's twin brother, and the change in temperament was eye-catching.
Taking a deep breath, Katie walked up to Lance, "Good morning, I'm Katie, and I'm in charge of your makeup today." Katie tried to stay calm and professional, keeping her eyes on Lance's eyes and not peeking at the large expanse of flesh/color, "For the first set of photos, uh......" But Katie found that the blue eyes didn't make things easier, "You know the setting, right?" We need, uh, some dirty and dusty makeup on you. ”
"It's your specialty." The corners of Lance's mouth tugged slightly, and the casualness and chic between the understatements made Katie's heartbeat uncontrollably accelerated. (To be continued.) )
