The straight man in the entertainment circle

"Youth Idol" is a magazine from Fulan Xiangzhou and has a good cooperative relationship with Mango Channel.

It is precisely because of this that the top three contestants of "The Voice" in the past three years will appear on the cover of an issue of "Teen Idol" magazine.

Last year, I originally wanted to invite Wen Xin for the annual cover of "Teen Idol" magazine. However, Tianyun used all the company's connections to find Wen Xin a cover for the annual issue of a quasi-first-tier magazine. She was featured in a quasi-first-tier magazine just six months after her debut. The cover of the annual magazine is something that makes many A-list celebrities jealous. Over the years, only Wen Xin has become more popular.

Therefore, "Teen Idol" only invited a second-tier star to appear on the cover last year, which was not a big splash.

Lin Li is much more popular this year than Wen Xin last year, but Wen Xin has Tianyun to help with crazy publicity and momentum, so from the outside world, Lin Li and Wen Xin, the two "The Voice" champions, have about the same influence.

This year, Wen Xin was still on the cover of the annual issue of a quasi-first-tier magazine. "Teenage Idol" invited Lin Li this year, and she thought there was little hope, but she didn't expect that Lin Li actually agreed, with some conditions.

After Lin Li won the championship, he appeared on the cover of an issue of "Teen Idol". That issue of the magazine set a new sales high for "Teen Idol" magazine, so the magazine was naturally very happy that Lin Li could shoot the cover.

"Teenage Idol" magazine is headquartered in Xiangzhou and stands in Kyoto. Since this is the cover of the annual issue, the magazine also attaches great importance to it. Editor-in-chief Hou Haisen personally led the team to Kyoto.

Hou Haisen and the others made an appointment with Lin Li directly at the photography studio, and the two parties went directly to the studio to meet.

Lin Li put on his leather jacket and followed Song Wenjie to the photo studio designated by Hou Haisen. The photo studio was on Guanghua Road in Kyoto and there were many magazine studios nearby.

Hou Haisen and the others had arrived long ago and came downstairs to pick up Lin Li.

Hou Haisen said: "Lin Li, long time no see."

"haven't seen you for a long time."

"This is the owner of this photo studio and today's photographer. His name is Niu Zheng. He has cooperated with our magazine many times and his skills are not outstanding."

Hou Haisen introduced a middle-aged man next to him.

Lin Li shook hands with Niu Zheng, and Niu Zheng said: "I have admired my name for a long time, let's go upstairs."

After entering the photo studio, Niu Zheng took Lin Li and the others directly to the reception room on the second floor of the photo studio.

A few people sat down, and someone from the photo studio poured tea for everyone.

"It's like this. The cover of our "Young Idol" New Year issue this year wants to show the attitude of the idols of the new era. As for how to shoot and how to do it, I have a contract before, so I can listen to you, Lin Li." Hou Haisen said.

Niu Zheng looked at Lin Li and said: "As a photographer, my advice is that based on Lin Li's image and the positioning of the magazine, it is best to choose a cool look this time. I will take your cool personality into account." Show her your side, we also have professional makeup artists here, so there will be no problem."

Lin Li said: "There's no need to put on makeup. Just do a little hair styling. And there's no need to choose clothes. Just the one I'm wearing will be fine."

Niu Zheng and Hou Haisen were stunned for a moment and looked at each other.

"Lin Li, this... New Year's cover issue, should we make it a little better?"

Hou Haisen had some contact with Lin Li. Although he saw a lot of news about Lin Li being difficult to get along with, Hou Haisen still felt that Lin Li could communicate.

Lin Li smiled and said: "I know you are worried, but I have my own thoughts. Doesn't your magazine want to express the different attitudes of idols in the new era?"

Hou Haisen nodded.

"Usually when talking about attitude, you will think of being cool, or take a picture of my unruly face, but that is more of my image, and it is not the impression left by your magazine."

After Lin Li analyzed it, Hou Haisen felt that it made sense.

"You have an idea, can you tell me?" Hou Haisen said.

Lin Li said, "Why don't you... let's take some photos and you can take a look at them first?"

Although Hou Haisen was a little worried, he could only nod his head and said, "Okay."

"Then...how do you want to shoot?" Niu Zheng didn't know what he was doing.

Lin Li stood up and said, "Get your hair done first!"

After Lin Li finished speaking, he went to the dressing room, and the hairstylist from the photo studio began to style Lin Li's hair.

The stylist worked on Lin Li for a long time and teased Lin Li's front very carefully.

Lin Li said: "Don't worry about the front, just make the back look better."

Stylist: "??"

Stylists have also styled some celebrities, but they are all dissatisfied here and there and have many demands.

Lin Li wasn't that picky, but his request was really special. He didn't care about the front but the back!

"Mom, get a mirror and let me look at the back of my head."

Song Wenjie felt a little strange after hearing this. She took a mirror and took a look at Lin Li.

The stylist didn't work on it for a while, but Lin Li looked at it and seemed quite satisfied and said, "Okay, okay, that's it, thank you."

It was the first time that the stylist had styled a star so easily. He was a little surprised and said, "Is this... okay?"

"Okay, okay." Lin Li stood up.

Hou Haisen and Niu Zheng in the back were both a little embarrassed.

Although Lin Li is good-looking and has a good temperament, he just had a hairstyle without makeup. He only did it at the back and the front was basically untouched. How could he take a cover photo like this!

Lin Li looked in the mirror, then turned around and looked again. He seemed to feel something was wrong.

Hou Haisen and Niu Zheng both raised hopes, hoping that Lin Li would also realize that this was not good and reorganize the situation.

"Um...is there a red headband here?" Lin Li suddenly asked.

Niu Zheng was stunned and said, "Yes, do you want it?"

"Yes, I want it. The tailband needs to be longer."

Niu Zheng also thinks that Lin Li's look is much better if he wears a red headband. Otherwise, he is all black. It looks cool when photographed, but it is too serious.

"I'll find it for you."

Niu Zheng went to the clothing room to search for a while and found a red headband.

Lin Li was quite satisfied after seeing it and tied the headband in front of the mirror.

After the binding, Lin Li looked in the mirror again and was satisfied this time.

"Okay, let's take pictures."

Niu Zheng looked at Hou Haisen and then at Lin Li: "Just shoot like this?"

"Yes, just shoot it like this."

Hou Haisen was not very satisfied either, but when he signed the contract a few days ago, he agreed to leave it to Lin Li to decide.

"Shoot it, we'll talk about it later."

Hou Haisen felt that if it didn't work out, he would have to resort to post-production editing if he and Lin Li kept talking.

"Then come to the studio."

Niu Zheng took Lin Li and the others to the studio. This studio was not big, but most of the magazine covers were half-length photos, and there was basically no need for backgrounds. This studio was enough.

There were several big lights and reflectors in the studio that formed a shooting area. After Lin Li entered, he didn't go into the shooting like ordinary people. Instead, he walked around and looked around.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?" Niu Zheng asked.

Lin Li didn't answer. He stared at the shooting area, as if he was thinking about something.

After a while, Lin Li walked aside, closed the curtains, moved the other headlights and reflectors away, took only a single light, placed it in front of the shooting area, and turned on the single light.

"Turn off the lights." Lin Li said.

Niu Zheng didn't understand what Lin Li was going to do, but he still listened to him and turned off the lights in the room.

The curtains are very effective in blocking light. Only the front of the room is illuminated by a single lamp, and the rest of the room is already very dark.

"Do you have brown background walls?" Lin Li asked.

"have."

After Niu Zheng finished speaking, he went up and put away the white background wall. Behind it was green, orange, and then brown.

Lin Li adjusted the position of the light, brought a large baffle and placed it not far in front of the light, blocking part of the light. Suddenly, part of the brown wall was covered in shadow.

Lin Li gestured with his hands, and then said to Niu Zheng, "Just shoot here."

Niu Zheng was stunned for a moment, then realized, Lin Li had been doing this for so long, was he just doing his job as a photographer?

Niu Zheng brought the camera and compared it to the position Lin Li mentioned. He was a little surprised. This thing that Lin Li seemed to be playing around with seemed to be full of composition and lighting design. It was obvious that he was not messing around just now. Everyone The steps all make sense.

"I...I can do it." Niu Zheng said, suddenly feeling a bit of anticipation for the shooting.

Lin Li walked into the shooting area and stopped about two meters in front of the wall.

However, Lin Li did not turn around, but tilted his head slightly and just stood there.

Niu Zheng was still waiting for Lin Li to turn around and take a picture of his face, but Lin Li just stood there.

"Lin Li...you...don't you turn around?" Hou Haisen asked in surprise.

Even Song Wenjie is a little strange. Her son has been on a cover before, so he doesn't understand this.

Lin Li smiled and said, "Just shoot like this, I won't turn around."

Niu Zheng: "..."

Hou Haisen: "..."

Song Wenjie: "..."

None of them expected that after Lin Li had been doing this for a long time, he would actually want to take a picture of his back!
