Chapter 664: Everyone is an idol
At 10 a.m., drive from the hotel.
Lin Qingyuan met Richard Burbridge, the photographer in charge of the cover shoot in the studio, who is recognized as one of the world's top five photographers in the industry.
Lin Qingyuan had seen his works when he was making up for his knowledge of the fashion circle before, such as the group of black and white blockbusters that Victoria's Secret Angels collectively appeared in 17 years, which made him remember it vividly.
For no other reason, a group of Victoria's Secret supermodels wearing underwear and underwear and posing in various poses are too artistic.
The two naturally greeted each other.
First of all, Lin Qingyuan took the initiative to release his kindness, because he thought that Richard Burbridge was a fashion circle network worthy of his friendship.
Of course, Richard Burbridge was also happy to establish an initial interpersonal relationship with Lin Qingyuan.
Fashion icons and supermodels need to build a good relationship with photographers to ensure that they have more say in the process, and photographers also need to maintain friendships with these big names as much as possible.
After all, when the model cafΓ© is large to a certain extent, it is possible to directly decide whether a photographer will stay.
For example, Gong Huang took it upon himself to kick out the photographer arranged by Vogue before, but Zhang Yu felt that she was playing a big name, and directly stuck her cover for 20 years, which led to a significant stagnation in the development of Gong Huang's fashion route.
Lin Qingyuan actually used to shoot magazines, because his shooting style did not match his personal style, so he occasionally asked the magazine to change the photographer, but unlike Gong Li's situation, he succeeded.
The two walked inside the studio, chatting casually about the latest news in the fashion industry and the past works of both parties.
Soon, Lin Qingyuan met the fashion director of the American version of ELLE, Nina Garcia.
"Hello Lin, I'm Nina Garcia, nice to meet you! I watched last night's Met Gala, your debut was very eye-catching, and you are definitely the most fashionable Asian man I have ever seen in my life! β
Nina is the kind of typical middle-aged woman in the United States, but she feels very comfortable in conversation, at least on the surface, there is no arrogance, not as domineering as the editor-in-chief of VOGUE "Female Devil".
"Thank you, I have heard of the explosion of "The Pride of Heaven" in China." Lin Qingyuan politely praised it back, and then politely hugged her.
"I hope we can work together happily today and take a group photo? I can't wait to let everyone know that Lin is coming to shoot our ELLE October issue! Nina took out her mobile phone and looked at Lin Qingyuan with a smile on her face.
She has her own news channels, so she naturally knows that Anna Wintour will most likely let Lin Qingyuan serve as the cover character of this year's closed annual issue of VOGUE under her leadership.
Although ELLE and VOGUE have a very fierce competition with each other, they are competing for market share and the ownership of the models who appear on camera.
So naturally, Lin Qingyuan will not be rejected because Lin Qingyuan is currently closer to VOGUE.
"Of course, I was honored to be a part of the ELLE cover shoot."
Lin Qingyuan spread his legs apart, and then leaned slightly towards Nina, trying not to let himself and Nina, who is 1.6 meters tall, have too much difference in size in the photo.

Another group photo of a big name in the fashion circle was born.
This is not only a real network establishment, but also Lin Qingyuan's secret pet behavior.
It's easy to understand that some fans in the fan circle like to brag about their idols and a certain celebrity's photo together.
Although Erin doesn't care about this very low show superiority at all, it's better to have a group photo than nothing.
To be crushed, it is necessary to achieve all-round crushing.
Lin Qingyuan is domineering, and Erin is also very domineering.
"Thanks, Lin, you're such a gentleman." Of course, Nina noticed Lin Qingyuan's small action just now.
"No thanks, I don't think it's worth complimenting you for making the right moves for different occasions." Lin Qingyuan shrugged his shoulders and smiled politely.
The devil is in the details.
At a very young age, he learned a lot from his parents that might not have seemed useful at the time.
"You're so likeable!"
As for the rest of the cover shooting process today, as usual, there were no major problems.
Top fashion magazines, top photographers, top models, all these elements are matched together to present a top-notch effect.
Finally, I took a group photo with Richard, and after shutting down each other on ins, all the filming work today, including Mi Guoxing, is over.
But just as Lin Qingyuan and his party were packing up their personal belongings in the lounge and planning to leave the studio.
The phone in his pocket rang suddenly.
It's a private message sent by a friend on ins.
Tay: [I heard you're coming to New York, I just happened to be back in New York today, do you have any arrangements for all nights?] γ
Lin Qingyuan was a little surprised in his heart, he didn't expect Taylor to take the initiative to initiate an invitation, and as soon as he finished firing with Rose, he immediately became more well-known
He really couldn't find any reason to refuse.
Lin: [It just so happens that I also want to thank you in person for the post last night and the gorgeous forehead, is this song really written specifically for me?] γ
Lin Qingyuan quickly received a reply from Taylor.
Tay: [What about Haha? I thought my lyrics were obvious enough. γ
Lin: [Time and place.] γ
Taylor quickly sent the address, and it seemed to be an Italian restaurant with a decent reputation.
Lin Qingyuan found Yan Jun, who was holding his mobile phone and was about to make a call, to explain the situation to him, and then left the studio under his meaningful gaze.
Yan Jun knew that Taylor Swift was Lin Qingyuan's idol, because Lin Qingyuan had said it more than once before.
So this time he left the team and went to an unfamiliar place by himself, which was obviously not right.
Anyway, Lin Qingyuan has how many idols he has?
It was already half past six in the evening.
The name of the store is Via Carota, and there are many customers in the store, and there is a lot of traffic on the street outside the store.
It seems to be an Internet celebrity restaurant with good exposure.
Following the waiter at the door into the VIP box in the depths of the store that serves distinguished guests, and pushing open the oak door, Lin Qingyuan found that Taylor was already sitting inside.
Lin Qingyuan took off his mask and smiled at her.
"Let me think about it. How long have we not seen each other? β
"I don't know, but I feel like it's going to be a long, long time, so much so that when I see your face again today, I'll think that I didn't seem to be right to use the word gorgeous to describe your face, and that you deserve a better adjective."
Taylor quickly got up from his chair and greeted this friend he hadn't seen for a long time, with a particularly bright smile on his face.
"Very nice outfit." Lin Qingyuan raised his eyebrows.
"Not as good as you did last night!" Taylor trotted forward all the way and hugged Lin Qingyuan warmly.
She opted for a more conservative black knit with short sleeves and a pair of loose-fitting flared jeans tonight.
Her long blonde hair hung down naturally, accentuating her delicate makeup and flaming red lips.
As before, Ms. Thales really didn't have much sense of fashion, and she certainly didn't need it.
Because she's an era in her own right.
The two of them took their seats and began to order from the menu.
Lin Qing didn't know which of the restaurant's specialties and signature dishes were delicious, so he gave this burden to Taylor, a local "jack-of-all-trades" in New York.
But in fact, it was the first time she came to this popular restaurant, but this did not prevent her from acting like a veteran in front of Lin Qingyuan and getting his praise.
"The restaurant's Cacio e pepe is known as the best black pepper cream pasta in New York, and then this Italian dessert, Olive oil panna cotta, is said to be pretty good," Taylor temporarily put down the tablet he was using to order, and looked up at Lin Qingyuan, who was sitting across from him.
"Lin, is there anything you can't eat?"
"No, but I don't eat a lot." Lin Qingyuan put down his phone and shook his head with a smile.
He was just googling Taylor Swift and accidentally found out that she had broken up with Joe Alwyn.
How did it advance by two years?
Is this the butterfly effect I bring?
He didn't know if he should be so narcissistic
"Then I hope you don't blame me for ordering food later, after all, I haven't been good at making choices since I was a child."
"Swizzle, just look at it, I trust your choice." Lin Qing looked at Taylor fixedly.
"As much as I appreciate your trust in me, I thought you would call me sweetie." Taylor laughed uncontrollably, and her mood was particularly high right now.
"Are you sure you think it, not like it?" Lin Qingyuan deeply felt the enthusiasm and openness of Europe and the United States.
"Is there a difference between the two words?" Taylor raised an eyebrow, and asked rhetorically in a relaxed tone.
As if sensing Taylor's intentions, Lin Qingyuan couldn't help but smile, "It's really not much of a difference. β
The waiter knocks on the door and pushes the food cart in to serve the food.
Lin Qingyuan found out that Taylor, who said that he was going to have a treat, ordered almost all the popular dishes in this restaurant.
Lin Qingyuan looked up at this generous New York woman with some astonishment, only to see her shrug her shoulders with a smug smile on the corner of her mouth.
"You know, I'm not good at multiple-choice questions."
"So you just filled in all the options in the answer box?" Lin Qingyuan couldn't help but pout.
"Can't I do that?" Taylor asked rhetorically.
"Of course you can do that if you have money." Lin Qingyuan was laying out the napkin according to the dining etiquette he had learned before.
"Then I'm glad I have money." Taylor smiled brightly: "Life is about having fun in time." β
"I would venture to ask, you are so rich, will anyone pursue you for your money before?"
"Of course, how could it not be?"
"Do you think it's strange then?"
"Why do you think it's weird?" Taylor replied very seriously: "I have money, this is my ability, others don't have it, but I have, isn't it my merit?" β
"You have a point." Lin Qingyuan smiled and raised the goblet with wine, "Salute." β
βSaluteοΌβ Taylor likewise raised his glass.
"But why Salute?" She took a slight sip of the sweet red wine, then put down her glass.
"I don't know, but I have the impression that the Italian table toast is like Salute." Before Lin Qingyuan went to Italy to attend the event, Yan Jun specially asked him to take time to look at these things for a while.
"Salute what?"
"Good health, if memory serves."
"Well, in the future, there is a high probability that the theoretical knowledge that will not be used has increased. But I prefer love and career to health, Salute! Taylor raised her glass again, and her smile didn't stop tonight.
βSaluteγβ Lin Qingyuan raised his glass again.
The sound of glass colliding with glass echoes in the box, and the laughter is constantly being catalyzed by alcohol and music, and the interest of each other is gradually increasing.
Taylor felt that Lin Qingyuan was really an interesting man, and every time he saw him, he could give birth to an endless desire to create.
And Lin Qingyuan felt that the contrast between Taylor and the stage in private was really big, and he was a funny girl.
It may not be all that relevant, but it's easy for her to be amused by jokes that aren't so funny.
The two chatted while eating until eight o'clock.
Lin Qingyuan drank the last bit of red wine in the cup and proposed, "Transition or talk for a while?" β
"I think we've talked enough." Taylor supported his chin with both hands and looked at Lin Qingyuan with a smile, "If you transfer, where do you want to go?" β
"Then it depends on where you plan to take me." Lin Qingyuan was stunned, and then casually made a joke.
"Well, do you want to play music? I'm very creative now! Taylor raised his eyebrows and sent out an invitation: "My family is quite big, you can sleep directly when you are tired of playing." β
"I used to learn musical instruments for a while when I was a kid, but then it all fell into disuse." Although Lin Qingyuan was surprised by Taylor's Brother Jie's speech, he did not refuse.
"Then the primary purpose of tonight is to bring you back to your childhood memories!" Taylor first hung the metallic handbag on his arm, then got up and pulled Lin Qingyuan up in the seat opposite, "Let's go!" β
"Are you really in such a hurry?" Lin Qingyuan shook his head while laughing, but he was still packing up his personal belongings.
"Inspiration is fleeting!" Taylor walked to the door of the box and suddenly stopped, turned around and smiled at Lin Qingyuan.
"I can't understand why you're so excited, because I don't know what it's like to have a flash of inspiration." Lin Qingyuan put the phone in his pocket and smiled helplessly.
"So I'm a singer and you're an actor."
The two walked out of the box one after another, and after Taylor had paid the waiter's tip, the two walked out of the restaurant and stood on the side of the road waiting for the car to pick them up and return to Taylor's residence.
Because there is a lot of traffic on this street, and it is the time for people to come out to enjoy the nightlife at 8 o'clock, many passers-by saw Lin Qingyuan and Taylor without masks, and took out their mobile phones to take pictures.
βWTFοΌοΌ She's Taylor Swift! β
"Who? Taylor Swift is here?! β
"Even-bought karma! Taylor: I love you super, super! β
"Who's next to Taylor? Has she changed her appetite and is eyeing Asian men? But it does look handsome. β
"Lin, a Chinese actor, has a great sense of fashion, and last year's Gorgeous song was written by Taylor."
"But doesn't Taylor usually only write songs for his ex-boyfriend? It feels like they're going to have an interesting story."
"I really envy Taylor, no, I really envy Lin," a delicate man dressed in a somewhat fancy way quickly changed his words after seeing everyone around him looking at him.
Although it is a little embarrassing, Lin Qingyuan does kill both men and women, so much so that a few years ago, there were similar rumors such as "male fans who like Lin Qingyuan are gay".
In this regard, although Lin Qingyuan's team knew that this was most likely a deliberately brought rhythm to the family, in order to disgust Lin Qingyuan, affect the change of his fan structure, and make those male fans embarrassed to say that they are Lin Qingyuan's fans.
But there is really no good solution.
Because after an in-depth investigation, they were surprised to find that Lin Qingyuan seemed to have a lot of gay fans.
No wonder some people say that if Lin Qingyuan acts and delays reform, he is afraid that he will pack up the rotten circle fans and the base circle fans and take them away.
After all, this kind of appearance and sexual tension are both, simply put, a male artist who is full of desire and astringency is too rare among the eunuchs in the group of eunuchs in internal entertainment.
Five minutes later, the first car arrived.
Lin Qingyuan took the lead in getting in the car and leaving, and before leaving, he pretended to hug and whisper to Taylor for a while, creating the appearance of going back to their respective homes after dinner.
Immediately after, Taylor's car arrived, she smiled and waved at the onlookers, and then got in the car and left.
The two of them seemed to be leaving in completely different directions.
But the destination is actually the same, but Lin Qingyuan, who left first, needs to go around New York a few more times.
