After walking out of the house, Xu Meijin glanced at me, "Jiaolong, why is your sister talking so unpleasantly to your aunt?"
I twitched the corner of my mouth and said, "You'll be fine if you get used to it. I won't be used to being able to say nice things."
With that said, I took out the business card Wang Xinli gave me and dialed the number directly. After thinking about it for a long time, just when I was about to give up, the other party finally answered the call.
"Hey, who's there?"
"Oh, hello, I'm Ma Jiaolong. That's right. Sister Li gave me your phone number and said you could help introduce..."
"Oh, Jiaolong, this name is impressive. That's right. I'm in Fangtoushan now. I'm taking a few models here to take photos. You can come directly to me. I heard that you have good conditions. I'll take your models by the way.
I'll take a picture of the card for you."
"Model card?" I frowned: "What is a model card? I'm sorry, did you take the photos? Aren't you the model's agent?"
"I'm an agent, but you don't have to know everything these days. Photography is a part-time job. Why, you don't believe in my skills."
"Oh, it doesn't mean that. Let's go to Fangtoushan now. We can find you when we get there, right?"
"Yes, I'm right here at Shanmen. You can go to the subway first and then take the dedicated line. It's quite far here. I'll drive back to you when you get back."
"Okay, let's go there now."
It is indeed not close. If I want to use a more precise word, it should belong to the countryside near the city.
However, Fangtou Mountain is also one of the more famous scenic spots in the city. It is named because of the square shape of the mountain.
The mountain is not high or steep, but the scenery is beautiful. There is a spring at the foot that gushes water all year round. This is rare, so many city people like to drive to Fangtou Mountain for recreation.
When I took the special train there, I saw a large chimney pointing toward the sky. I didn’t need anyone to explain it to me. I knew it was the chimney of the crematorium. Plus, the chimney was emitting smoke, which meant that the body was being cremated.
So I have some taboos in my heart.
When we arrived, we didn't see any other models at all. Only Hong Yang was playing with his camera and taking pictures among the flowers at the foot of the mountain. He sounded quite young, but when he saw him, he actually kept his face.
The beard may be for good looks, but it also makes me look older.
When he saw us, he introduced himself very enthusiastically: "You are Ma Jiaolong, I am Hong Yang. Sister Li has already said hello to me."
I hummed, stepped forward and shook his hand: "Hello, weren't you talking about taking photos? Why didn't you see anyone else?"
He laughed twice and shook hands with Xu Meijin: "Actually, I just came here to have fun and take some pictures for them. I didn't expect that they would all leave after waiting for you for so long. Come on, take advantage of this.
The light is pretty good. I’ll take some full-body and half-body shots for you. Let’s go to the studio to take the headshots, which will be used later.”
I said yes and pulled Xu Meijin: "This is my friend, can we shoot together? Can we both do this job when the time comes?"
"Maybe I can't do it, I'm short." Xu Meijin immediately said from the side: "Jiaolong, I'd better forget it."
I winked at her and signaled her not to say these things. To put it nicely, they are called models. In fact, they are all half-baked and not professional. They are not so particular.
Hong Yang looked at Xu Meijin and smiled: "Who said you can't do it? You have to have some confidence in yourself. In fact, being a little shorter is more suitable for flat photos. The main thing is image. I can recommend you to read in magazines, or, if you
If you don’t choose, I can recommend you to work as a fitting model in some online stores. Of course, I have to agree in advance about the income. I can’t guarantee your income. How much you earn depends on your own opportunities, but maintain
Life must be okay.”
"Is it formal?" Xu Meijin looked at Hong Yang and couldn't help but ask.
"Don't worry, it must be official. I haven't been in this circle for more than a day or two. If possible, you can take photos today.":
"Well, formal ones are fine. Then, let's take pictures."
Xu Meijin had no objections. Taking pictures was pretty simple. Hong Yang said that these were interview photos, which meant that wherever models were needed, he would send photos of me and Xu Meijin for recommendation. If he was chosen, he would do some urgent training. Press
Make money regardless of size.
Of course, a rookie like me will definitely not earn as much as a professional, but Hong Yang said that the most attractive thing about this industry is its uncertainty, because it does not affect the standards, or it can be said that it just depends on the employer's eyes.
Depending on the fate, people think you are suitable for you, but Hong Yang also said that my advantage is that I am relatively tall. I may be able to get some big shows, and maybe I can transition closer to a major.
I didn't think that far ahead, but I followed everything Hong Yang said. No matter what I did, I had to give people a good impression of working seriously.
When the sun was about to go down, Xu Meijin pointed to the top of the mountain and looked at me: "Jiaolong, if we are on the top of the mountain, the sunset will be particularly beautiful."
With a sigh, I followed her finger and looked towards the top of the mountain. With a click, I turned my face and looked at Hong Yang looking at us with a smile: "The expression just now was very natural. I think the most successful photo of this day was
Come here, take a look at this." As he said that, he pulled out the photo he had just taken for us: "Ah, how did you do this?"
I leaned over and frowned. In the photo, there was a white shadow floating behind me and Xu Meijin.
"Here I go, is this the legendary supernatural photo?"
Hong Yang said to himself, looking at the nervous expressions of Xu Meijin and me, he suddenly laughed: "It's okay, don't be afraid, I'm just teasing you, it might be a problem with the camera or the light."
I kept my eyes fixed on the photo that Hong Yang had just taken of us on the camera. Just as Hong Yang was explaining what he was saying, the white shadow gradually became clearer in the photo, and finally it was vaguely visible.
It was a humanoid figure, standing behind me and Xu Meijin.
Hong Yang also saw the changes in the photo on the camera, and his smile faded: "Damn, it wasn't someone who pranked it. Is it some new software?"
Xu Meijin was a little scared and held my hand beside her: "Jiaolong, what's going on? What's in the photo? Could it be that there's someone standing behind us all the time."
"Impossible, there are no other photos, only this one does. Don't be afraid, someone must have manipulated me. I'll call and ask now. I borrowed my camera yesterday." As he said that, Hong Yang took out his camera.
He took out his phone and pressed the number while frowning: "What's going on! Why is there no signal yet!"
I looked at the sky and saw that the sun was going down soon. "Let's go back quickly. Let's go!" (To be continued)
