I became famous in the entertainment industry by burning incense

Chapter 618 The odds were like winning the lottery, but I stumbled upon it!

Filming is out of the question; Gu Cheng and Jin Li aren't that brazen.

This greatly disappointed the editor-in-chief, Wei Ziang. He regretted not using the camera with the flash, but instead using a regular mobile phone to take more pictures.

The interaction between the two is so wonderful!

Seeing that neither of the two celebrities was cooperating anymore, Wei Ziang put away his smile and said, "The scenery is all set up. Let's go out and take pictures now. Let's take individual covers first to test the waters, and then we'll take double covers."

Jinse put a lot of thought into the set design. They set up a total of 5 sets, and not all of these 5 sets will necessarily be used, but they cannot be missing.

A solid color background is the easiest to set up; you just need to change the color scheme behind the celebrity.

Jinli and Gu Cheng first shot against a solid-color background to help the artists get a feel for the shoot, and also to help the photographer get a feel for it.

Although the editor-in-chief, Wei Ziang, was holding a camera, he did not step forward to film against the plain background, but instead stood aside and observed.

Jinli noticed that the editor-in-chief really liked to observe.

Rather than personally taking photos and analyzing the finished product to find areas for improvement, he prefers to first conceptualize everything in his mind before taking the final, satisfactory photos.

Therefore, Wei Zihang doesn't take photos lightly when he's actually working, but once he does, that photo is sure to be one of his favorites.

However, Jinli and Gu Cheng didn't pay much attention to Wei Ziang, because as the editor-in-chief, photography was an extra task for him. There were plenty of professional photographers available, and the two of them had to meet the photographers' requirements and make all sorts of gestures.

Gu Cheng believes he has a lot of experience in still photography. As an idol, he often collaborates with various fashion magazines and media outlets, contributing one stunning photo after another. Jin Li, on the other hand, doesn't have much experience in still photography.

But once filming actually began, Gu Cheng realized that he was the frog in the well.

Why is it that some people can still capture that vibrant soul in still photography?
Even though the poses in the photos are fixed, Jinli manages to create a sense of dynamism.

It seemed to have torn apart the rigid image and emerged from the painting, vividly greeting people.

You can tell her mood and state of mind at the time just from a single photo; it's as if a scene has been captured in a photograph.

You don't know until you compare, and once you do, you're shocked.

Gu Cheng initially thought he did a pretty good job filming and got into character quickly, but his expression immediately turned serious when he saw Jin Li's filming location.

He couldn't do the kind of filming Jinli.

But there's no reason to demote Jinli and make her as rigid as him, so he can only observe carefully and see how to shoot her so that her image can become more lively in the photos.

This way, the two will look more natural together; otherwise, it will look very awkward.

The two artists' state during the shoot was also noticed by Jinse's photographer and editor-in-chief.

After filming for half an hour, Wei Ziang called a pause to let everyone rest and relax, and find inspiration for the next background.

The artists did not linger in the filming room but returned to the dressing room to rest.

Jinli returned to the lounge and saw that Gu Cheng's forehead was covered in sweat. She asked in surprise, "Is it hot today? Why are you sweating?"

Gu Cheng hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Can't you notice anything at all?"

Jinli was stunned: "You noticed something? I was very focused on my work and didn't pay attention to the outside world."

Gu Cheng sighed softly, "I'm a little out of your rhythm, so I'm nervous and trying to figure out how to keep up with you."

Jinli still looked puzzled, so Gu Cheng explained, "I'm different from you. After I've finished shooting a series of photos, I personally communicate with the photographer to see how well I've performed."

Jinli takes taking photos very seriously, but she doesn't look at the negatives afterward because she feels there's nothing she needs to adjust.

If so, the photographer can tell her on the spot, and she can make adjustments accordingly.

She had to keep herself focused and attentive at all times, without getting distracted by other things.

If she's preoccupied with looking at the negatives, she won't be able to concentrate while taking the photos.

But Gu Cheng is different; he can't completely ignore it.

The problem was immediately apparent; the two photos clearly had very different styles.

Jinli's solo photos are more lively, while his are more rigid.

Actually, judging from the photos, Gu Cheng's photos are not bad, but he met Jin Li, a very expressive artist, and that vigorous sense of vitality almost bursts out of the photo.

It has to be said that this put a lot of pressure on Gu Cheng.

After realizing the problem, he kept thinking about how to adjust it, but it seemed that the more he adjusted, the worse it got. Gu Cheng found that he seemed to have lost his way of filming.

Jinli heard his question and smiled, saying, "Actually, your question is very easy to solve."
-
"So, have you come up with a solution yet?"

At the same time, Jinse's editor-in-chief, Wei Ziang, was also asking the photographer questions.

The photographer frowned, looking serious. "It's a bit difficult to solve. The two celebrities' expressiveness in the images is too different."

He scratched his head in frustration. "I actually hope Jinli is a little less attractive, so she'll be a better match for Gu Cheng."

Wei Zihan rolled her eyes. "How can excellence be made worse? Look at Jinli's solo cover shoot, it's so expressive and atmospheric."

There are very few female celebrities these days who can take such impactful and evocative photos. Some of her photos, after some editing, could probably even be award contenders!

The photographer said with a distress, "Yes, but she just took such good photos that Gu Cheng's photos turned out to be mediocre, stiff and lifeless."

You know, it's very difficult to suddenly make an ordinary artist very expressive; it takes a sudden flash of inspiration.

But if you want to make a good artist look bad, it's very simple. Jinli can act, right? Why not have her act out the poses of an ordinary artist taking photos?

Before Wei Ziang could speak, the photographer said, "Think about it, the difference between the solo covers is already so obvious. What will happen when we shoot a duo cover? It will only be more obvious and they won't match!"

Wei Zi'ang hesitated; this was indeed a problem.

"Perhaps after the two shoot the duo cover, Jinli's energy will also influence Gu Cheng's energy and carry him to new heights?"

The photographer said speechlessly, "Do you believe it's like winning the lottery?"
-
"Do you believe me?" Jinli looked at Gu Cheng.

Gu Cheng blinked and said without hesitation, "I believe you."

Jinli asked curiously, "Don't you think my method is unreliable?"

Gu Cheng laughed: "I've never been able to find a match for you, so I'm just trying anything as a last resort. I'll believe whatever you say."

Jinli thought of the footage Gu Cheng would take later, and a hint of excitement flashed in her eyes. She couldn't wait to see what other people thought of those photos.
After the break, the two went back into the filming room.

This time, we'll start by shooting individual covers to get a feel for things.

Following Jinli's advice, Gu Cheng changed her mindset when filming.

Well, to put it simply, he treated all the people filming as students, and he was the most admired, one in a million academic genius.

Filming is like doing a math problem. Relax, the problems are all very simple, and you can solve them easily. With this mindset, as long as you treat filming as doing a math problem, you can easily dominate those underachievers no matter how you film.

Both the photographer and Wei Ziang noticed that Gu Cheng's demeanor had changed during this reshoot.

Although it's unclear how he managed to adjust his mindset, his unruly, calm, and confident demeanor, along with a touch of arrogance, was still evident even through the stiff still photos.

Oh wow, yet another "painting-tearing man" who can tear open a photo and walk out of it.

They were a little puzzled: how could an artist's aura change so quickly?

He was a rather humble young man before the break, but now he's become the arrogant and domineering Tianliang Wangpo.

Although both the photographer and Wei Ziang felt that Gu Cheng's temperament did not match Jin Li's gentle and graceful temperament, at least Gu Cheng's expressiveness was up to par, so they could still take a look.

At least the photos don't look so stiff anymore.

Seeing that both artists were in good spirits, Wei Ziang decisively had them film together!
I originally thought that after the two of them took a photo together, they would need some time to adjust to each other against a plain background, since their temperaments were too different and not harmonious.

But when the two appeared together in front of the camera, a strange sense of fusion emerged—

Jinli possesses a gentle yet fierce quality, while Gu Cheng, though arrogant, also has a tender look in his eyes when he looks at Jinli.

The photographer frantically pressed the shutter button, thinking: "No way, he actually hit the jackpot! How come these two look so good together in a photoshoot?!"
No, I absolutely have to buy a lottery ticket after get off work today!
Not only were the photographers snapping away, but Wei Ziang also couldn't resist picking up his camera to film as well.

Even with just a plain background, the two of them are so in sync. Imagine if the background were changed to grass—a high blue sky with white clouds, a sunny day with a gentle breeze, you and I holding hands.

That's it, just thinking about it is exciting.
-
The filming ended very quickly.

In just one morning, the two of them finished taking all the photos.

The afternoon and noon hours unexpectedly became free time for the two celebrities. Gu Cheng didn't want to go back to the villa, so he simply hitched a ride with Jin Li and they went back to the dormitory at Chenxi Entertainment together.

They euphemistically called it "looking for you to play with."

Jinli, seeing her younger brother acting cute, was completely powerless to resist...

Yes, we took him back.

Sui Lingfang was a little stunned to see the two of them return so quickly.

"Weren't you supposed to film for a whole day? You finished in just one morning? You filmed so fast?"

Jinli shrugged: "Editor-in-Chief Jinse said that we performed very well and have filmed to the point where we can't film anymore."

Sui Lingfang still looked puzzled.

Gu Cheng added, "What I mean is that enough photos have already been taken, and they are all perfect, so there's no need to take any more."

Sui Lingfang watched the two of them silently. As artists, even when they were dating, they rarely saw each other. It was a rare treat for them to be together.

Well, at least she's not disliked anymore.

Sui Lingfang asked casually, "Are you going out for dinner together tonight, or should we order takeout to be delivered upstairs?"

Jinli glanced at Gu Cheng, who winked at her without saying a word, only smiling slightly.

Jinli smiled and said, "Let's order takeout."

Sui Lingfang: "Okay, call me if you have any questions."

She left, intending not to come up to see her since there was nothing else to do today.

As for how Gu Cheng will get home tonight, that's not her concern. The person who should be worried is the other party's agent.

No support, no response, no responsibility!
Sui Lingfang steadfastly implemented this policy, but what did she see? She saw nothing!
The two of them getting together was actually quite ordinary, not as exciting or thrilling as people might imagine.

After all, the room was still inside Chenxi Entertainment Company, so even if they indulged themselves, there were limits. Gu Cheng was just able to relieve his lovesickness by snuggling close to Jinli.

Jinli is quite relaxed when faced with her clingy younger brother.

He can do whatever he wants, and she will fully cooperate.

Well, when there's another person in your life, even the most mundane things seem to become meaningful.

One afternoon, the two cleaned the room together, changed the sofa cover, and even played games together.

During breaks, Gu Cheng would hold Jinli in his arms and read books to her.

As he was reading, he suddenly thought of something and said, "Isn't there a book that lists a hundred or so little things lovers should do? Let's buy a copy and then do all the things listed in it when we have some free time."

Jinli said with interest, "I've heard of this kind of book before. Great, I'll try it out when I have time."

Gu Cheng: "We probably didn't have time before, but once we start studying, we'll have more time for ourselves."

Jinli asked, "Now that you've enrolled in directing, will you be busier than before?"

Gu Cheng said, "That's just a way of experiencing life. I think it's time to slow down a bit. The most beautiful years in life are only a few years. As for my career, I've already passed the peak, so there's no need to be so nervous anymore."

Jinli understood. "I get it. You want to start retiring too!"

Gu Cheng smiled, couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her forehead, and whispered, "I envy you every day. You have so few engagements and so much free time."

Jinli patted his shoulder and said with a hint of smugness, "Don't compare yourself to a retired old man like me."

"Also, I'm in poor health, and the company is understanding and doesn't dare to give me too many gigs."

Gu Cheng seemed to be deep in thought for a moment.

Jinli asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Gu Cheng: "I'm wondering if it's too late for me to get a certificate for being physically weak?"

Jinli laughed heartily.

Good times are always fleeting. At 11 p.m., Gu Cheng left Chenxi Entertainment.

Zhang Guang, weary from his journey, arrived overnight and took him away before dawn; otherwise, this man would have shamelessly stayed overnight at Chenxi Entertainment.

Zhang Guang said speechlessly in the car, "If this continues, I wouldn't be surprised if Chenxi Entertainment kidnaps you and makes you one of their artists."

Gu Cheng smiled and said, "Brother Guang, don't worry, I won't run away. After all, I'm still a shareholder of Guangyue Media."

Zhang Guang's lips twitched. Did this mean that if he weren't a shareholder, he would really run away?
Zhang Guang wanted to say something, but finding that this brat was unyielding, he kept quiet.

Forget it, what's the point of talking to one of the most popular celebrity couples on the internet? Whether their relationship is public or not seems to make no difference.

Couples who are paired up have a different way of doing things, and it seems that their earning power is not necessarily worse than those who don't promote themselves as a couple.

In addition, Gu Cheng's girlfriend is Jin Li!
The most popular female celebrity on the entire internet, in the end, is still Gu Cheng who married above his station.
