Dominating Hollywood: Starting with Scarlett

Chapter 44 Magazine marvels
  T Magazine is still busy today.

"Dres, finish the layout quickly! I'm already going to do trial printing here!"

"Bring me the model's photos! I'll send them in for review!"

"Damn it, why are there still typos! Can you pay attention when you write the manuscript?"

"Sorry, editor, I forgot to change it."

Looking at the mess in front of her, Njeli couldn't help but hold her forehead and sigh, then continued working. As the editor-in-chief of a magazine, the most difficult stage is before the release of each new issue.

After almost finishing all the content in her hand, Njeli checked the new issue again and found that there were two pages that had not been typed with photos.

"Dress! Why is it blank here! Where are the photos! Where are the photos of the models!"

She couldn't help losing her temper and yelled in front of her office.

Dres hurried over and whispered: "Editor-in-Chief, it's Ashara's photo!"

"What's wrong with Ashara?" Njeli's initially angry tone softened at the last few words.

Well, this cost money, it was the sponsor, and Njeli couldn’t be too harsh on that generous fee.

"Didn't it say that her photo has been taken? Why hasn't it arrived yet?"

"It's here, it's here, I just received it, it's at the fax machine and it's being printed." Derleth
  "That's good. Get it quickly, for God's sake, don't take too bad a picture."

However, just as she was praying, there was a sudden exclamation from the fax machine.

"What's wrong?" Njeli stood up subconsciously. Could it be that the photos Ashara took were too ugly?

Then I can't make fun of the magazine's reputation. Fortunately, I have photos of other models that I can replace.

Derleth hurriedly ran over for the editor-in-chief, only to find that several editors were watching in front of the fax machine.

"What happened?" He squeezed into the crowd, frowned and grabbed the photo: "What are you all doing here?"

"Dress, who took this photo?" Fashion editor Niles asked him curiously.

"Who took the photo? How do I know? Let me take a look..." Derleth picked up the photo and glanced at it, but the next second he was stunned as if he had been frozen.

Njeli saw that Dres never came back and the crowd continued to grow, so she had to walk out of the desk and come behind the crowd.

"Give way." She shouted, but it was covered by the wows of the crowd.

Njeli's chest rose and fell, and she increased her voice: "Give me a moment!"

After someone heard it, they quickly told others: "The editor-in-chief is here."

Everyone got out of the way, and Njeli walked into the center step by step, and saw Derleth and Niles analyzing the photos with excitement on his face.

"What happened?" Njeli was puzzled. How could it be that just a photo had such great magic power to attract everyone?

"Editor, come and take a look!" Derleth excitedly handed the photo to Njeli: "I think this photo can even be a candidate for our magazine's best of the year!"

"How is it possible, Ashara's?"

Njeli picked up the photo nonchalantly, but when she saw it for the first time, her eyes widened.

"Is this really Ashara?"

She turned to look at Dres, who nodded: "Of course! That's her!"

Njeli received a positive reply and looked at the photo again.

In the black and white photo, Ashara was lying on the ground wearing sexy lingerie, holding a T-shaped light stick that emitted purple light, with a pitiful expression.

In the shadow next to it, there was a shadow that was darker than black, and it seemed to be holding a gun in its hand. The combination of movement and stillness makes people hold their breath, as if someone is really shooting at Ashara. In addition, there are black and white levels to make photos more colorful.

Black-and-white photos lack color, so they pay more attention to the progression of black, white and gray. With the eyes of Editor-in-Chief Njeli, he immediately discovered that the focus of this photo is deep black, such as the shadows and underwear, while the lighter layers It's the skin, and then there's the background.

So just looking at the photos makes people feel that they are rich in detail, even enough to participate in an art photography exhibition.

Not to mention the intention of this photo, the black skin, the gunshot, the frightened expression and the unique body language, every part of it was worthy of her careful consideration.

This is why editors are crowding around here. Generally speaking, a photo can become a classic photo if it can achieve outstanding conception and color.

And this one not only has the concept and color, but also matches the expressions and body parts. Njeli looked at this photo and thought about the cover of the new magazine, and felt that that photo was not worthy of this one.

"Dres! Where are the others?"

She realized the value of the photo and immediately asked Dres to hand her the second photo.

"really!"

It was still a perfect performance, but this time Ashara adopted a stance of resistance.

"Isn't this the best cover!" Njeli said excitedly, holding up the photo: "Quick! Take down the original cover and replace it with this one!"

"Ah! Editor-in-Chief, do you really want to do this? But we have already made an agreement with Anne Hathaway!" For the cover of this issue, they found Anne Hathaway who just turned 20 years old, although she has not yet Notorious, but due to the broadcast of "Princess Diaries", it also gained some popularity in the United States.

"Then move it to the next issue! Just tell Annie that our computer is broken and the photos cannot be exported. She will forgive us."

"Okay." Dres couldn't help it. Njeli was completely obsessed with the new photos at this time, but this was normal.

It is common for the fashion industry to do anything for a good cover. After all, the most important thing for anyone buying a magazine is the cover, and a good cover can often overwhelm everything else.

Especially now that "T" magazine has just been launched, if nothing unexpected happens, Njeli will ask him to find the photographer of this photo.

Sure enough, Dres only rested for three minutes before he heard Njeli's call again.

After walking up to her, I immediately heard Njeli's powerful voice: "I want to find this photographer and ask Ashara! I must let him join the job! No matter what the cost!"

"Okay, I'll go right away!"

"Drip...drip..."

Ashara, who was sitting on the sofa at home admiring her beautiful photos, answered the phone: "Hello? Who is this?"

"Dres, how's it going? Are my photos okay?"

"........."

"What? Cover! FXXK! Great!" When she heard that the editor decided to use her photo as the cover, Ashara cursed excitedly without caring about maintaining her ladylike status.

"Oh oh oh, I didn't say bad words, I was just... just a little happy, just a little bit. Why did you decide to use my photo as the cover?"

"Because the color processing is great? The postures and expressions are harmonious? The concept is high-end?"

Every time Ashara repeated a sentence, her mind recalled the scene where she was abused and controlled by Tang De, and she couldn't help but feel a little complicated.

And this complicated mood reached its peak when she heard Derleth ask the photographer's name.

"Is he that important? Even the editor-in-chief invited him?"

"With him, can we really take "T" to the next level?"

"Art photography...master level? Tang De?"

"Okay, okay, I'll ask you guys. But I'm not sure if he will be willing. Well, it's not that he has joined another company, but... how should I put it, in fact, his job is to shoot music videos."
