Chapter 629: Plain skirts flow with green shadows, jade temples adorned with frost-like splendor

The shooting location for Jin Li and Gu Cheng this time is the headquarters building of "Jin Se".

After the two uploaded the video, they didn't pay any more attention to the reactions on the internet; in any case, their good relationship is something even netizens are aware of.

The car is custom-made, with a partition in the middle.

Once the partition is pulled up, the people in the front seat don't know what the people in the back seat are doing, and the soundproofing is also very good.

Therefore, it was only after Jin Li had finished posting the video and was called by Sister Fang to inquire that Chen Qin realized belatedly that the two artists had produced a video.

Sui Lingfang's tone was calm, without complaint or questioning, but instead asked flatly: "Did you watch them film it?"

Chen Qin's expression turned stern: "No, they pulled up the partition after getting in the car; I don't know what happened."

She is very good at drawing inferences, and immediately asked: "Sister Fang, do you want me to go and remind Jin Li now?"

Sui Lingfang shook her head: "Forget it, no need, it's already posted."

She thought for a moment and then said: "From now on, let her post whatever she wants. Although the company has the password to her blog account, we have never managed her content; Jin Li knows her limits."

Chen Qin: "Then for today's shoot, do you need me to go and keep an eye on it?"

Sui Lingfang thought about it and continued to shake her head: "No need. The editor-in-chief of Jin Se invited Jin Li and Gu Cheng to shoot a dual cover precisely because they want to dig out the 'CP' chemistry between the two. The atmosphere on set will definitely be very harmonious; you just stand on the side and watch silently."

Chen Qin's mouth moved faster than her brain: "I know how to do this—shipping the CP on set!"

Sui Lingfang:...

She wanted to give some instructions, but after thinking about it, she gave up.

Some things are such that the more you care about them, the more likely they are to happen.

When you don't care and everything is open and aboveboard, perhaps others won't think there is anything between you two.

Now, Sui Lingfang can only pin her hopes on the latter.

After Chen Qin hung up the phone, she went on the blog to search for the two videos Sister Fang mentioned.

She couldn't help but click her tongue in wonder.

How to put it? The content is normal content, but just as the netizens said, it looks very much like a boyfriend and girlfriend perspective. How can they film each other so beautifully?

Never mind, this must be "beauty is in the eye of the beholder"!

The CP I ship must be real!

As they were about to arrive at the Jin Se headquarters, Chen Qin called the editor-in-chief of Jin Se, saying they would arrive in about 5 minutes.

This call was repeatedly requested by the editor-in-chief of Jin Se, Wei Ziang.

Whether it is Gu Cheng's team or Jin Li's team, they must call him in advance when the two artists are about to arrive.

The reason is that he needs to see the visual sense of the two artists getting out of the car for the first time, to see how the atmosphere between the two is, so he can arrange which theme to choose next.

The editor-in-chief's request is not hard to understand, and both sides also hope that this cover can be shot very well, so they jointly recorded it on their calendar schedules.

After Chen Qin finished the call, she sent a text message to Jin Li.

The partition's soundproofing effect is very good; at least she didn't hear Jin Li's phone emit an alert.

Before long, the partition in the car was opened. Jin Li sat in the back, looking radiant, and said in a very good mood: "Are we about to arrive at the Jin Se building?"

Chen Qin took this opportunity to quickly turn her head and look back.

In her eyes, Jin Li was sitting on the right and Gu Cheng was sitting on the left, with a very clear dividing line between the two.

Not seeing the expected scene, Chen Qin felt regretful in her heart, but answered professionally on the surface: "About 4 minutes left."

Jin Li looked at Gu Cheng with a smile: "Will you lead me down, or will I lead you down?"

Gu Cheng raised an eyebrow: "Rock, paper, scissors?"

Jin Li said with great interest: "Are you sure you want to compete with me on luck?"

Gu Cheng: "Hmm... not sure."

After saying it, he laughed himself.

"I'll lead you down; give me some face as a man."

Jin Li felt a bit regretful: "Actually, I quite wanted to lead you down; you look very soft today."

Gu Cheng hadn't done his styling yet, his hair soft and making one want to rua~

Gu Cheng suddenly glanced at her sideways and said somewhat arrogantly: "That's fine too. You can lead me down later, but in the shooting area, I can't guarantee what actions I will make."

But this threat was ineffective against Jin Li. Her eyes were as bright as stars, and the words she said were even naughtier.

"You couldn't possibly kiss me on set, unless you want us both to be watched by everyone."

Gu Cheng:...

He took a deep breath, a flash of helplessness crossing his face: "Sister Jin Li, don't always bully me."

Jin Li smiled and reached out to touch Gu Cheng's head. Gu Cheng cooperated by lowering his head and letting her touch it.

There were no very intimate actions between the two, but it just made people feel that pink bubbles were overflowing all around.

Chen Qin's eyes became shiny in the not-so-bright car.

I shipped it, I shipped it, I'm almost dizzy from shipping it!!!

Soon, the car arrived at the Jin Se building.

Editor-in-chief Wei Ziang was already waiting at the stairs.

Today's luck was on Gu Cheng's side, because when parking, the car door on Gu Cheng's side was just right facing the stairs.

If the stairs were facing Jin Li's car door, then it would be Jin Li opening the car door and getting out first.

Gu Cheng quickly opened the car door, as if afraid the car would run away.

After getting out of the car, he didn't scan the surroundings to observe the environment first, but looked into the car at the first opportunity.

Not long after, a pair of legs got out of the car first, and then a hand reached out. Gu Cheng hurriedly took it, and Jin Li came out of the car.

The two looked at each other and smiled, walking hand in hand toward the editor-in-chief of Jin Se.

Halfway there, the two also naturally changed their posture, becoming Jin Li's hand wrapped around Gu Cheng's arm.

Wei Ziang widened his eyes as he watched this scene, those sharp eyes seemingly transformed into a radar that could see through everything. It must be said that the atmosphere between the two was too strong; they were worthy of being the dual cover he personally designated!

Before the two stars could walk up the stairs, Wei Ziang walked up to greet them with a smile.

"Hello Jin Li, hello Gu Cheng, welcome to 'Jin Se', let's talk while we walk."

Wei Ziang had already determined a theme in his heart, but the necessary preliminary conversation was indispensable; he had to see the thoughts between the stars.

After the conversation, he once again confirmed that the theme he set was very suitable for the two—

Taking "Flower" as the theme.

Flower-like age, flower-like beauty, flower-like brilliance.

Flower-like, burning passion for life.

To be honest, before seeing the stars in person, the theme he favored was "Shao Hua" (Youth).

Both of them, whether in age or the career achievements they have attained, are very consistent with "living up to one's youth".

Moreover, the theme of "Shao Hua" leans more toward inspirational struggle, which can dilute the overly strong attraction between the two and make it more positive and uplifting.

But after seeing them in person, he found that "Flower" was the most suitable.

Countless ideas instantly popped into Wei Ziang's mind. What inspirational uplifting, what hard struggle—with the two's flower-like age and appearance, they should just show off the word "youth" to the end!

When beauty is taken to the extreme, that is the peak presentation of aesthetics. How is this not a novelty that opens up a trend?

Jin Li and Gu Cheng didn't know the twists and turns in the Jin Se editor-in-chief's mind; the two only felt that this editor-in-chief was quite kind and treated people quite cordially.

And after entering the Jin Se building, the editor-in-chief also stated the theme he wanted to shoot this time—taking "Flower" as the main focus. Neither of the two stars had any objections.

The two had quite a lot of experience in presenting flowers; after all, everyone's age is not very old, and they often use flower elements when taking photos.

Arriving at the dressing room, Wei Ziang quickly selected clothes for the two stars.

This dual cover was not stuck in the key months of "Golden September and Silver October", so there was no brand sponsor for the two stars to take the August cover of Jin Se; this was Jin Se's own proactive invitation.

This meant that when Jin Se took photos, they could freely and casually match clothes for the stars without considering the gold-master brands behind the stars.

Plus, neither of the two stars had specific brand makeup endorsements behind them. As for the second-tier makeup "Duomi" that Jin Li has always endorsed, that is simply not in the competing product agreement, so even the makeup could be left to the Jin Se makeup artists to play freely.

Wei Ziang's brain was brainstorming, and he quickly thought of suitable elements for the two.

"How about this: Gu Cheng wears a flower in his hair, and Jin Li holds flowers in her hands. Although we take flowers as the theme, our clothing elements do not need flowers.

Flowers are just a conceptual presentation. I want to create for you a look where there isn't a single flower on your clothes, but it is full of the shadows of flowers."

Lin Bu's "Mountain Garden Small Plum" describes plum blossoms like this: "Sparse shadows cross horizontally in the clear shallow water, dark fragrance floats in the dusk of the moon."

He didn't write about plum blossoms directly, but reflected the existence of plum blossoms through the environment of shadows, fragrance, and the moonlit night.

Similarly, using the technique of writing about flowers indirectly, there is Wang Wei's "Red Peony".

"Green beauty is leisurely and quiet, red clothes are shallow and deep."

"The flower heart is worried about breaking, how can spring color know the heart."

Although the peony is never mentioned in the text, the color contrast between "green beauty" and "red clothing" allows one to see the layers between the leaves and petals. Coupled with the personification in "the heart of the flower is sorrowful enough to break," it naturally leads the reader to imagine the peony's form and its state of withering.

And mentioning "green" and "red", there is another classic ancient poem, Li Qingzhao's "Ru Meng Ling", that familiar line: "Do you know? Do you know? It should be green fat and red thin."

This is a contrast formed by the lushness of leaves (green fat) and the withering of flowers (red thin), borrowing the changes in color and posture to secretly write about the appearance of crabapple blossoms after the rain.

The ancients were always subtle; they used flowers to express feelings, but very cleverly did not write out the flowers directly. The so-called "not using a single word, yet getting all the romance" is the thought that Wei Ziang wants to embody in this theme.

This is an aesthetic embodiment, pointing directly to the essence through metaphors, colors, natural changes, and senses.

What Wei Ziang wants to shoot is such a theme that sounds very high-end.

After listening, Jin Li and Gu Cheng looked at each other, both feeling it was quite difficult, but both were very willing to try and challenge it.

However, this was just a piece of nonsense without nutrition.

Since they were already here, they naturally had to meet the difficulty head-on; if they couldn't do it, they had to learn.

The two might not necessarily understand Wei Ziang's thoughts, but it didn't prevent them from presenting his thoughts.

Stars are such a magical group, turning decay into magic, bringing hope to lost people.

After putting on the gowns and finishing the makeup and styling, Jin Li and Gu Cheng waited together in the backstage area. The shooting venue in front was still being set up, and they needed to wait for a while.

Jin Li said in a low voice: "Why do I have a feeling that even Editor-in-chief Wei Ziang doesn't know how to express his theme? Although the clothes and makeup were set very smoothly, the time used for the set design is too long, right."

Gu Cheng turned his head, leaned over to her ear and said: "You are not alone; I have this feeling too. It's a bit like a plan thought up on the spur of the moment."

The two were leaning very close. Gu Cheng had a white gardenia pinned to his ear. Jin Li could smell a faint, clear, sweet, and rich scent. In the midsummer season, this wisp of fragrance appeared extremely penetrating.

She thought of the teenagers returning home from school, passing through alleys with gardenias, their whole bodies stained with the scent of gardenias.

It revealed a sense of vibrant vitality.

She pulled away a little distance and carefully examined Gu Cheng.

The man's somewhat cold and stern outline was set off by the bright white petals to be a bit soft. The white flowers made the boy's sense of clarity even more apparent, and even his skin seemed to become clear under the reflection of the flowers.

The clothes he wore were also very plain, a white shirt without any stripes, paired with black trousers, making the whole person look very fresh and clean.

Jin Li suddenly smiled: "I probably understand the editor-in-chief's idea a bit. You standing under the light is properly 'beautiful as a flower'."

Gu Cheng didn't speak, but seriously examined Jin Li.

In his view, Jin Li's look was even more amazing and could better express the intention of flowers.

She was wearing a green long dress with a very strong drape. There were no elements on the clothes; it was a simple plain design, using an asymmetrical slanted shoulder, revealing one side of her collarbone and shoulder line.

The fabric of the clothes used shimmering silk. Under the light, it could present subtle ripples, like flowing light and fleeting shadows, like the dark shadows of leaves rustling when the wind blows through the flower bushes.

She held a bouquet of white tulips in her hands and wore a beautiful small flower wreath on her head. The wreath used small flowers, but the colors were rich.

Gu Cheng exclaimed: "You are more like a flower than I am, like a fairy surrounded by flowers. When you walk, I feel like I can smell the fragrance of flowers."

Jin Li lowered her head to smell the tulips in her hands. The tulips in her hands had no scent, or even if they had a scent, it was very faint, completely covered by the gardenia scent beside her.

Jin Li asked curiously: "What fragrance?"

Gu Cheng: "Very sweet, and a bit sour, with a bit of astringency, but more is sweet, rich enough to reach the heart."

Jin Li frowned again: "What kind of fragrance is this? Why can't I smell it."

Gu Cheng smiled, leaned over to her ear and whispered: "A fragrance that makes me very moved by you; it has been seducing me to embrace you."

Jin Li:...

She glared at Gu Cheng. The brightness of this glance seemed to make the whole dress come alive. Gu Cheng smelled that flower fragrance that was so sweet it made him dizzy again.

Just at this time, the sound of taking photos came from the front. The two looked up and saw Wei Ziang looking at them with a bright smile.

"The expression just now was good. How about we take a few more? We can use them as behind-the-scenes footage to release." ===== CHAPTER 630 =====
