Chapter 357

But merely deploying three anti-paparazzi jammers is not the end; it is only a starting point.

After Jin Li's RV arrived at the back door of Fang Fei, she saw that Fang Fei had already set up an anti-peeping enclosure, which looked somewhat like tent material from the outside.

Sui Lingfang whispered in her ear, "This uses metal fiber material to block electromagnetic waves. It is commonly used for important meetings or closed-set filming for film crews. The daily rental alone exceeds 20,000 yuan. Since Fang Fei built it this large, it must have cost even more."

Jin Li asked with a straight face, "Is Fang Fei being too cautious? Aren't I just here to shoot a cover for the October issue?"

Sui Lingfang smiled bitterly, "I knew the procedures at Fang Fei beforehand, and I also felt it might be too exaggerated, so I asked Zhang Guang in a roundabout way and only then learned that a solo cover by an A-list artist can trigger 270 million in invisible consumption."

However, this is the money-making power that an A-list magazine cover can exert. It is very clear that Fang Fei is challenging the industry hegemon, "Huayun," so they attach great importance to your shoot this time.

If you can win over "Huayun" in the cover battle and trigger the overseas market, I have made a speculative budget, and the artificial intelligence big data model believes that you are highly likely to be promoted to become Fang Fei's global spokesperson in two years."

Jin Li:...

Suddenly feeling a bit of pressure.

The car drove directly into the tent, someone opened the door, and Jin Li stepped out.

Sui Lingfang ran over specifically to help her down, and Jin Li asked in a low voice, "So this shoot is no longer just a simple cover shoot, but also highly likely to affect whether I can increase cooperation with Fang Fei in the future?"

Sui Lingfang: "From the prediction of future results, yes."

Jin Li thought for a moment: "So what should I do later? Should I actively express my thoughts and opinions on the photos?"

Sui Lingfang shook her head gently: "No, Fang Fei is very aggressive. The brand wants to create a major magazine publication that belongs entirely to them.

If I am not mistaken, Fang Fei's chief designer, Ms. Dai Xueling, will also come to the scene to supervise this shoot."

Jin Li nodded imperceptibly. With Dai Xueling there, she was full of confidence in this shoot.

As soon as the Chenxi Entertainment car appeared at Fang Fei's back door, it was immediately captured by the paparazzi on the scene, who quickly sprinted to the back door.

Two long fences blocked them first.

But the paparazzi, carrying their shooting equipment, vaulted over the fences with the agility of flying, displaying a sports spirit comparable to a 100-meter hurdle sprint.

Soldiers are raised for a thousand days to be used for a moment; exercising more in ordinary times is just to exert excellent physical fitness at this moment.

Paparazzi who could not cross the high fence could only stomp their feet in anxiety on the spot, quickly asking their companions to squat down to help them flip over.

But crossing the high fence was only one line of defense; the second line of defense was a human wall built by the security guards themselves.

The security guards stood at the entrance like iron towers, each holding a transparent shield in their hands. No matter what the paparazzi said, they would not let them through.

With people guarding here, the paparazzi could no longer continue to advance. Some paparazzi, not knowing what they thought of, quickly opened their cameras.

They could still control the cameras to zoom in from a distance, but the next second, the electronic equipment signal was blocked, and the mobile phones could not transmit information.

A paparazzo immediately cursed, "They used anti-peeping jammers! Go report them for not having a filing!"

Another paparazzo arrived and said upon hearing this, "Stop it, it's useless. Since Fang Fei dares to deploy here, they must have registered and filed in advance."

Some paparazzi suddenly turned their heads to look behind them, scanning for something.

There are many high-rise buildings around Fang Fei headquarters. Their companions must have already stood in a room in some high-rise building, using cameras to shoot some footage.

Inside a room in a high-rise building in the distance.

A paparazzo who was using a remote camera couldn't help but curse after seeing the anti-peeping enclosure built by Fang Fei.

If he knew the inner thoughts of his teammates at close range, he would definitely reply very aggrievedly: "We can't shoot either. Jin Li's car drove directly into the anti-peeping enclosure."

His companion beside him couldn't help but say: "What Jin Li wears today does not indicate Fang Fei's subsequent shooting theme. Why take such strict confidentiality measures?"

The paparazzo who looked more mature glanced at him and said: "You're a newcomer, right? How long have you been in the industry?"

That paparazzo smiled shyly, "I've been in the industry for three months, but this is my first time following Jin Li's magazine schedule. I've followed several celebrities' activities before, and none of them took such strict confidentiality measures."

The mature-looking paparazzo said: "Then now you have seen what the process of a top-tier A-list celebrity shooting a magazine is like. What's more, this shoot is not simple; it involves the cover battle between Fang Fei and Huayun for the October issue.

Whoever can win in this battle is highly likely to lead the trend for the next year. Originally, these were the discourse rights that only A-list magazines could master, but the conflict between Jin Li and Huayun gave Fang Fei an opportunity to intervene."

The newcomer paparazzo asked: "Why?"

Another paparazzo said with hatred for iron not becoming steel: "Why are you so stupid? Brands and magazines have always been based on cooperation. Having cooperated for so many years, the relationship is intertwined. It's not easy to overthrow it suddenly because of interests.

But this time Fang Fei took the initiative to intervene in the battlefield, and no party would think it went too far. If Huayun hadn't been too aggressive towards Jin Li, Fang Fei wouldn't have had to compete with Huayun.

Jin Li is, after all, Fang Fei's image spokesperson in the China region, representing Fang Fei's face, and Huayun only launched a provocation this time in the capacity of the China region.

Everyone is equally limited to China, not counting international influence, so it can be considered fair competition."

The mature-looking paparazzo also said at this time: "In the past, brands could appear in magazines as the financiers behind the celebrities—brands sponsored celebrities to wear their products on the cover of major magazines, and brands paid celebrities high sponsorship fees.

But now that Fang Fei is doing this, it is equivalent to using Jin Li to tear open a gap, moving from behind the scenes to the front, letting celebrities shoot specifically for the brand.

As long as the influence of Fang Fei magazine in October can exceed Huayun, then countless profits can be made from it, and the benefits behind it all start at hundreds of millions. Do you think Fang Fei will be nervous, and will Jin Li's team be nervous?"

The newcomer paparazzo figured it out and let his face fall: "So our squatting here this time is an impossible task. Neither Fang Fei nor Jin Li's team will give us a chance to shoot."

The old man said leisurely: "That's true, but our superiors always feel that we can create miracles. Not being able to shoot is common, and shooting it is a stroke of luck. Everyone hopes that we can have a stroke of luck.

Young man, listen to an old man's advice: don't be too serious about doing things, just muddle through. If it's meant for you to shoot, you can shoot it; if it's not meant for you to shoot, you can't shoot it no matter how hard you try. Everything depends on fate."

Newcomer:...

He still wanted to do a sit-up, declining to lie flat.

Jin Li walked into Fang Fei's shooting room, and the time came to 7:30.

Fang Fei had sent the makeup and hair requirements for this time to Jin Li's team in advance, and there was no need for adjustment on Jin Li's side.

Because Jin Li has never feared trolls and rumors since her debut, many black materials that other celebrities think are not established on Jin Li's side.

For example, after taking photos, some celebrities will worry about being called 【silicone feel】, 【menstrual fatigue feel】, 【greasy】 by netizens... so they will try their best to avoid these adjectives during shooting and have requirements for the photos.

At the same time, many celebrities have created their own styles. For example, some celebrities like to take the big heroine self-improvement series, so they like the makeup and shooting covers to be atmospheric, the more atmospheric the better.

Some celebrities take the light and ghostly style, so they will prefer the photo style to be fresh and natural, such as the fairy girl style...

But Jin Li's style is never limited.

Whether it is Gothic dark style, ghostly girl, or big heroine style, she can do it.

Jin Li's team has two requirements for Fang Fei: one is not to over-edit, P-ing away the facial features exclusive to the celebrity, which is too fake.

The second is that there is no need for koi good luck elements to consume the "good luck" concept.

Fang Fei accepted the invitation to Jin Li in full and designed it according to the celebrity's needs.

Before the official shooting, Fang Fei had sent the concept map to Jin Li's team, and now it is to make the makeup and hair like the concept map.

The makeup and hair test is for two hours, during which adjustments can be made at any time.

Dai Xueling came over when Jin Li was doing makeup and hair. The makeup artist was applying makeup preliminarily, applying the base first.

Dai Xueling took a look and couldn't help but frown, "Who allowed you to change the makeup plan without authorization?"

The makeup artist lowered his head nervously and didn't speak.

Dai Xueling said: "Although the shooting time this time is not very long, I require her makeup to use foundation with better durability. Tell me your reason for changing it."

The makeup artist said in a low voice: "Her skin base is very good. If I use foundation with too strong durability, it will dilute her good skin instead. I use a thinner one, wanting to set off her skin tone more."

Dai Xueling didn't even look at her, saying indifferently: "The idea is good, don't think about it next time.

If you have any questions after the makeup and hair plan comes out, you should raise them at the first time, instead of changing the makeup without authorization during the shooting process.

You can leave, call your supervisor over, and let him apply makeup to Jin Li himself."

The scene, which originally had some noise, suddenly became silent.

Even though Dai Xueling had already left the scene, the effect she caused was still continuing.

The makeup suddenly stopped, and Fang Fei's people were all called to the other side to listen to the person in charge of on-site scheduling.

Sui Lingfang took the opportunity to whisper to Jin Li: "That makeup artist should have received money from another makeup brand. As long as he can use their products on this cover, he can get a large rebate."

Jin Li asked: "Is changing the foundation without authorization a very serious matter? I actually don't care."

Sui Lingfang: "I also don't think it's serious, and I also think this makeup artist's idea is good. Your skin base is indeed excellent. Using foundation that lasts longer is a bit burying your base."

"But—" she changed the subject, "considering it from the brand's perspective, maybe Fang Fei has already reached a cooperation with that brand of long-lasting foundation.

You used their products in this shoot, then in the subsequent October promotion, that brand will spend millions of funds to drive traffic to Fang Fei, which is also uncertain."

Sui Lingfang came with her personally to gain knowledge, and couldn't help but sigh:

"Don't look at magazine shooting as if it doesn't take much time, and the photographer just presses the shutter to get the picture, but in fact, the details inside are all discussed repeatedly.

Behind a magazine shoot, there are countless capitals playing games.

Every small accessory you wear now, the makeup on your face, the clothes you wear... all represent capital behind them."

Sister Fang said while her eyes rolled around.

Before shooting started, she had already learned a lot from Fang Fei.

Jin Li saw her like this and knew she had new ideas.

But no matter what the agent does, it is not to pit the celebrity.

After Dai Xueling's beating, every member of Fang Fei strictly followed the established plan to style Jin Li.

The time came to ten o'clock, and Jin Li started the first group of shooting.

This shooting is mainly for lighting debugging, because the makeup has just been completed, and the fit between the makeup and the face has not reached the best. The afternoon session is the core shooting.

Although it is mainly for lighting debugging, it does not mean that this group of shooting will not produce good films. Jin Li still takes a professional attitude to do it.

After shooting for ten minutes, she will change a posture. After shooting for half an hour continuously, Sui Lingfang will help her call a break.

Fang Fei's makeup artist came to touch up makeup, but as soon as he saw Jin Li's skin condition, he couldn't help but stop his hand opening the box.

This makeup artist is the teacher of the previous one, speaks very easily, smiles with lying silkworms, and looks very approachable.

She originally wanted to chat with Jin Li, but seeing Jin Li picking up paper and pen to calculate problems during the break, she couldn't help but stop her steps and turned to chat with Sui Lingfang who was staying behind.

She smiled and whispered to the agent: "I was far away just now, and watching Jin Li shoot, I only felt that her facial condition was very good. I thought there would be some mottled flaws when looking closely, so I had already opened the loose powder cover, intending to touch it up for her.

But looking at it at close range, her skin base is even more shocking, very clear and bright. Now it is not the foundation that modifies Jin Li's skin, but Jin Li's excellent skin base that sets off the foundation to have this effect."

The makeup artist said with great interest: "Have you considered letting Jin Li shoot with a bare face once? With her skin condition, if she can shoot a group of photos without makeup, it will make more brands notice."

Sui Lingfang was a little moved. The company would let Jin Li shoot some personal life photos for business from time to time, but those photos were all with makeup.

If she shoots without makeup, would it make people feel more like life?

Sui Lingfang asked: "How do you usually shoot this kind of thing?"

The makeup artist took out her mobile phone, "Let me add you on WeChat. It's not clear in a few words. Even if it's a bare-face shoot, it doesn't mean no makeup at all. Some parts still have to be revealed by adjusting shadows."

Sui Lingfang saw the purpose of this makeup artist, but she didn't care.

After adding WeChat, the break time was up, and she walked over to remind: "Jin Li, it's time to shoot."

Jin Li, who was immersed in the learning state, took a deep breath and did not let the focus state break away, looking at the photographer and others as if looking at problems.

Her eyes were sharp, and these people were all difficult problems she had to overcome!

On the other side, "Huayun" also received news from the paparazzi.

Jiang Xiangxue received the report and just glanced at it before putting it aside.

The report was just text information and did not capture any useful photos. It only knew that Fang Fei and Chenxi Entertainment were hiding it very tightly. What reaction did she need to make?

Without seeing the real photos, she could not make a judgment.

However, she also learned one thing, that is, Fang Fei is probably trying to be real this time.

Jiang Xiangxue couldn't help but sneer, Dai Xueling would definitely not think that Huayun had obtained what foreign aid this time.

Want to exceed Huayun in a professional field?

Go dream!
