Chapter 68 – #12. Joanna (6) – Fix
‘Prezak is making a pictorial with the theme of oriental beauty?’
Freezak is a typical westerner’s luxury clothing company.
As a company that sells luxury clothing and accessories, it has branch offices in many countries.
It was hard to believe that such a company would make the East Asian main in the July issue.
‘How? No, what happened?’
I found out that Joanna’s design made that possible.
I thought it was great.
And at the same time, I thought I wanted to try it.
[I thought you were the right person. Isn’t Mei Lin the best at capturing oriental beauty?]
Yes, that’s right
I’m the best
[So I want you to do it. If not you, who would you ask? You are the right person.]
Right.
There is no photographer other than himself who can shoot the July issue of Prezac.
Mei Lin had no choice but to agree with Joanna’s words.
She knew that here she would not feel at ease with a refusal.
Another photographer taking care of the July issue?
From the moment she heard about it, she was restless and angry and wouldn’t be able to sleep.
Because she wouldn’t have been able to acknowledge it as a writer other than herself.
‘In the end, Joanna fell for his trick.’
Reluctantly, she accepted the collaboration with Frizak.
The problem was then.
She thought she would properly show off her skills she had accumulated over the years.
For that to happen, everything from one to ten must have been carried out according to her own plan.
But embarrassingly, Joanna has already decided on the model for the July issue.
She’s not even a real model, but a rookie male idol group.
‘To model for a rookie who just made her debut? Even if she dribbles on her self-name, she is oily and suzy… I will never accept this!’
In order to properly express the beauty of the East, a proper model was needed.
But her Joanna’s reputation was so good that her staff trusted her opinion.
She had to think of another way before taking on a wildly upstart male idol group as her main model.
‘In the end, she decided to add another model and decide on the main one based on the results.’
With this, she thought that this July issue would go her own way.
It’s not going to happen that a rookie group called ‘Airplane’ becomes the main model.
She intended to make it herself.
That was until I saw the boy group called Airplane with my own two eyes.
‘I think I know why Joanna fell for me.’
After seeing Joanna’s muses in person, she understood why she recommended them as her models.
A man named Jin Hae-sol had a face that made him want to be photographed.
He was a man with something that touched the soul of an artist, to the point where it was unfair that he hadn’t been able to take a picture of that face until now.
‘The problem is that the moment to take that face is now. No matter how good a face a model without skills is, it’s just wrapping paper piled up to look good.’
It seemed like he had been preparing hard.
All of them had different charms, and it was seen that they had lean bodies.
It meant that I took care of my body properly to shoot as a model.
I’m proud of it, but that doesn’t solve the problem.
What she needed was a proper model who knew how to contain her soul rather than her outstanding shell.
‘You know how hard it is to work with incompetent models… Joanna, I’ll keep this debt tight.’
Doesn’t she know that she’s grinding her teeth inside of her?
Joanna had come to her hotel room since morning and was putting on her salt.
“What are you doing in the morning?”
“I have so many questions. How do you feel about the models?”
“Everybody said they didn’t know anything, right? Thanks to you, I’m going crazy now. The future is bleak.”
“Lie. If she didn’t like it, she would have said she couldn’t die.”
Flinch!
‘Oops.’
The words that struck her at the moment didn’t immediately come out as a rebuttal.
It would be a mistake to convince Joanna that she had to continue to show reluctance.
“Are you going to keep coming out like this even though you’re not a beginner who thinks that only her face is good?”
“In the end, she will have no choice but to admit Rin too. He is not an ordinary man.”
“If the guy is really special, you’ll know when he’s working. You don’t even have to show off in front of me.”
Swish-suck-suck-suck-
Joanna’s hands were very busy talking to Mei Lin.
Costume designs are being created in her hands at an incredibly fast pace.
It’s ridiculous that she’s at work while he comes to her room to talk.
“Fufufu, excuse me. It’s such an exhilarating experience that I keep getting inspired. It’s too precious to stop.”
“I have a dark future, but you do things that hurt your stomach out of envy. I wish I could get that thrilling inspiration too.”
It is the charm of photography that makes a fleeting moment last forever.
A moment once captured never comes back.
In the end, the shooting will proceed according to my will from beginning to end, and it will happen.
‘It’s just a beginner, even if it’s special. If you stand in front of the camera, you won’t be able to do anything or strike a silly pose.’
Models who can capture their charm in photos are not common.
So Mei Lin did not put any expectations into Joanna’s words.
If you don’t expect anything, you won’t be disappointed.
「 「 「
On the day of the photo shoot.
The last time I came, the studio, which had nothing, was full of equipment when I came back after a long time.
“Wow, pretty.”
“There are so many props.”
“There are too many lights, right?”
Indeed, the props were huge enough to make me think it was a pre-jag.
Gulp-
“I must have heard a lot of money…”
“I know.”
Dig-! Dig-! Dig-!
Then, the lights turned on.
‘Ugh, it’s snowing.’
I was just looking around, but my eyes go blank.
Since I was going to be standing under that light soon, I already felt like my skin was heating up.
“Oh, you are here. Hello. Author!”
-The preparations are almost over, so I change my clothes and come out.
Writer Mei Lin, who received our greetings insincerely, urged her to change her clothes and come out.
We stood dumbfounded and rushed into the waiting room to check the clothes hanging on the hangers.
“Wow, it’s more comfortable than last time.”
As I moved around, I could feel that this suit fit me perfectly.
I think that’s why I like custom-made clothes.
“Uh~ I’m nervous. I shouldn’t be scolded.”
Having experienced Mei Lin’s prickly eyes, we studied poses really hard for the rest of the time.
While discussing and helping each other on better poses.
However, our efforts were useless than we thought.
-Give your body more strength! What are you going to do with such a weak pose?
“Yes yes!”
Throughout the photoshoot, photographer Mei Lin kept yelling at me.
The poses we worked hard on were all criticized by the artist.
They even warned me not to let go of complacency, asking if I thought I would get a satisfactory picture by roughly imitating the poses of other models.
‘Who knew that all the poses I prepared would be rejected. Thanks to that, everyone has a mental breakdown.’
While he criticized the poses he had practiced, the pose at the moment the shutter was pressed was not special.
I pressed the shutter in a sloppy pose that I wanted to take a picture of, and there were times when I didn’t press the shutter, and there were times when I kept asking for another pose.
I was very nervous and endured under the light for a long time, so when I came down, the members’ stamina was on the verge of being discharged.
‘Should I use the stamina bag?’
This is not the end of the filming of the kids, but I thought I should use a stamina bag because I have to go into the camera again.
Personal shooting is not everything.
After that, I had to take a group photo with the members.
But when I saw the kids drooping down, I felt like I was about to wither and collapse if I started taking group shots.
“Why are you so droopy?”
“It’s too hard, brother.”
“Can you see I’m sweating?”
Not one or two members had to reapply makeup because of sweat.
Somehow, I was the last in the order.
Unlike the members who hated it because they waited for a long time, the moment they went under the lights was rather enjoyable.
‘I wanted to quickly check how effective it would be by raising the model’s ability with coins.’
One thing I learned while watching the cuts the kids took was that the artist Mei Lin has great skills.
The pose that looked awkward when I saw it with my eyes was giving a surprisingly different feeling when I saw it in a photo.
I could understand why writer Mei Lin criticized the poses we practiced.
‘A normal pose must have looked very boring.’
She’s an expert, so if you just do what she says, she’ll have no problem. She voluntarily felt her head heat up in the hot light, and she caught her breath lightly.
Currently, my body has hidden talent as a model.
Since he had grown a lot with coins, all that was left was to experience real battles and blossom his talents.
In addition, the various abilities that had been raised with coins were helping at this moment.
‘I think it would look better if I moved my body like this.’
In line with the theme of ‘Oriental Beauty’, the atmosphere of the clothes I was wearing was similar to that of Hanbok.
Standing holding a fan with fancy Chinese characters written on it, I folded the fan and held it to my chin.
At first, the poses that were not neatly moved naturally and became tidy.
The motion was so natural that the staff watching the shoot did not notice.
However, the photographer Mei Lin who was taking her picture must have noticed something and was about to press the shutter, but she hesitated.
And the moment when you pose and become complete after some time, click! She does and she presses the shutter.
A few times, it was pressed after a brief delay.
Of the two, the first to run out of patience was writer Mei Lin.
She lowered the camera and said to me, Mei Lin, scolding me with her fierce eyes.
– What are you doing now? Are you kidding me?
-Yes?
-Why are you hiding your skills? Do you think you can finish it quickly if you do it right from the start, but do you run out of time? You keep standing sloppy at first and then belatedly striking a pose. It’s not just once or twice, it’s annoying when you keep doing it.
-Uh… Sorry.
It took time for her talent as a model to be fully established.
Just like how you have to practice after raising your dancing ability to fully demonstrate your skills.
However, it seemed that it was very annoying to writer Mei Lin.
– I’m not good at it, so it seems to take some time to adapt.
– Anyone can see that you are posing perfectly, but you are not good at it? Are you hiding your skills now? No, if you want to hide it, hide it until the end. It keeps changing in the end
-Not really…Uh…I don’t know how to explain this.
I can fully understand Mei Lin’s angry position.
Since she was in a position where she was working seriously, my behavior must have looked even more playful.
But…
‘I can’t say that my skills are improving in real time, right?’
I wonder if she should have raised her abilities as a model by earning coins earlier.
However, in a situation where there were so many things to upload, I couldn’t afford that luxury.
She also owes Pony, but she was reluctant to raise her stats, which she wouldn’t use often.
