America: Child stars start with The Shining

"Excellent! This angle is perfect!"

"Try a different position... Yes! That's the feeling! It's really nice!"

"Hold on, don't look away... Excellent, fantastic, Ciel!"

The flashes went off one after another as the photographer frantically pressed the shutter button, constantly adjusting the angle and position for the shots, all the while showering the photographer with praise.

He didn't dare to stop for a moment, afraid of missing any shot.

This was the first time in all his years in the industry that he had encountered such a compatible model.

He has met countless child models, but none of them have been able to present their most perfect on-camera appearance without his guidance, just like Charles.

In the past, whenever I photographed these kids, I would either freeze up from nervousness or overdo it with excitement, which was completely unsuitable for the GG style.

Moreover, it takes a long time just to get the kids into character, let alone actually start filming.

He had to teach the movements and correct the eyes over and over again, basically spending the whole day there, and he still might not be able to pick out a few usable photos.

But Ciel was completely different. He hardly needed any guidance, and often, before Ciel had even finished speaking, Ciel would have already naturally moved on to the next action.

"Yeah, that's it... Relax your shoulders a little more, okay, don't force it, just be natural... Fuck, that's fucking perfect!"

Click!

Another series of camera shutter clicks went off.

At that moment, he suddenly felt that this money was fucking too easy to earn.

With just a tap of your finger and a press of the shutter, the captured image can be used directly as a professional film, requiring no further adjustments.

Fuck, this is... so fucking easy!

The photographer had a great time, but the staff on the sidelines had a much tougher time.

Charles's photoshoot progressed unexpectedly quickly, almost like that of professional models.

Therefore, the lighting assistant could only run back and forth in the studio with a reflector, frantically adjusting the angle, all while being constantly urged by the photographer, until he was exhausted and out of breath.

"Hurry up, hurry up! Don't mess up your hair! And the hem of your shirt, press it down!"

The makeup artist quickly stepped forward to tidy up the stray hairs on Xia Er's forehead. She had only taken two steps back when the photographer had already taken more than a dozen photos.

The costume designer was exhausted.

He ran back and forth between the dressing room and the warehouse several times, and eventually he simply pushed a small cart over and transported all the clothes he would need to the photography studio at once, otherwise he simply couldn't keep up with the photographer's pace.

Almost every few minutes, he would immediately hand Charles a new outfit.

Just then, Brooke Shields arrived at the studio after changing into a new outfit.

She wore a thin brown shirt with the hem hanging down naturally, revealing a glimpse of skin, and CK's upcoming women's jeans.

She was resting in the dressing room when she suddenly received a call saying she could come back to continue filming.

She was initially a little surprised, but as soon as she arrived, she was drawn in by the constant clicking of camera shutters and the photographers' excited, almost uncontrollable praise.

There wasn't this much noise when she was filming.

So she quietly went inside and stood behind the monitor.

The image is frozen on a photo that was just taken.

Against a light-colored background, the boy stands in the center of the light, the soft light perfectly highlighting his fresh and refined temperament.

Brooke Shields' gaze lingered briefly on the image.

"Is this the original footage?"

"Yes, this guy is simply a natural-born model, he's amazing!"

The photographer didn't even turn his head, his tone filled with barely concealed excitement.

He didn't notice who was talking to him at all; his eyes were only on the boy in front of him, and he clearly couldn't care less about anything else.

Brooke Shields raised an eyebrow, said nothing, and simply continued to stand beside Ciel.

Soon, the filming on Charles's side was completely finished, much earlier than expected.

Although he has already made two movies and had quite a few male roles, the requirements for print models are completely different.

Thanks to the effectiveness of the equipment, he performed very naturally in front of the camera. Otherwise, without any modeling experience, he would not have been able to handle such a situation with ease.

Just as Ciel stepped aside to rest, Brooke Shields walked straight over to him, smiling and praising him:

"Not bad. They didn't look like this when they were filming me earlier. Looks like you're even more popular than me."

As she spoke, she subtly gestured to the side with her lips, her tone carrying a hint of feigned girlish jealousy.

Not far away, the photographer was staring excitedly at the sample photos in his camera.

He couldn't wait to start selecting his photos, seemingly very satisfied with the results he had just taken.

Charles looked at Brooke Shields's feigned envy and gave a wry smile:

"How could that be? You're the leading lady today. I can't compare to you at all."

Although the photos he just took turned out very well, CK won't easily adjust their subsequent promotional strategies because of this.

The focus will likely remain on Brooke Shields, with him playing a supporting role at best.

Brooke Shields smiled sweetly after hearing this, took a business card from her assistant, handed it to Ciel, and said:

"This is my business card. I think highly of you, kid. I hope we'll have more opportunities to work together in the future."

Charles reached out and took the business card. Before he could say anything, Brooke Shields had already turned and walked towards the center of the studio. It was almost time for her to be photographed.

Compared to Charles, her shooting style is clearly more mature and more versatile.

After all, she follows a highly distinctive and glamorous style, and her target customer group is more inclined towards young girls who are passionate about fashion.

People like them are most easily attracted to Brooke Shields's charisma.

In addition, her mother had previously arranged a Playboy illustration shoot for her.

The primary readership of such magazines is self-evident...

Brooke Shields' filming speed was also very fast.

After all, she started out as a print model and had participated in this kind of work countless times.

Immediately afterwards, she seemed to say a few words to the person in charge beside her, and then waved to Charles.

Charles walked over, and the person in charge spoke directly:

"Ciel, we're very satisfied with the shots you just took. Brooke Shields just suggested we do another set of photos of you two together. What do you think?"

Ciel paused for a moment, then subconsciously turned to look at Brooke Shields.

The other person smiled slightly at him.
