Chapter 59 GQ Magazine Shoot
Early August.
As the photos of Jin Qixuan on the inside pages of Vogue Korea’s July new issue gradually become more and more popular in the fashion industry, the Angel Couple’s photography team also became famous.
In just one month, the Angel Couple's IG account has skyrocketed to 200,000 followers.
Of course, with this work, they successfully won the Best Fashion Photography Art Work in July and the nomination for Best Fashion Photographer of 2015.
Jin Qixuan also attracted a wave of attention in the industry with the title of "one of the pinnacle works of the Angel Couple".
Of course, just paying attention is equivalent to looking at someone.
Just when various fashion magazines were observing whether Jin Qixuan was a flash in the pan or at the peak of his debut, Chi Yadan, the editor-in-chief of GQ Men's Fashion Magazine, after careful consideration, first issued a shooting invitation to Jin Qixuan.
Originally, she wanted Jin Qixuan to be on the September cover of the magazine, but during the meeting to discuss it, she encountered opposition from everyone.
In the world of fashion magazines, there is a saying that gold is nine and silver is ten.
This is the time when seasons change, and major clothing brands will launch new seasonal products to promote in magazines.
As you can imagine, every star or model would fight for the opportunity to shoot this cover.
Therefore, in addition to being opposed, everyone even doubted whether their editor-in-chief had taken a liking to this handsome guy.
"Editor Chi nim, this is the September issue. Isn't this too risky?"
"Editor nim, although he is indeed very handsome and the inside pages were fine, but If you shoot the cover.”
"Yes, although we are also very optimistic about Jin Qixuan's fashion sense that he can control various styles, to put it bluntly, Jin Yongjun's work relies more on his unconstrained inspiration, as well as the atmosphere created during shooting and post-production. "
"Editor nim, Jin Qixuan's level of control over the details in the photos is not perfect..."
Listening to the obstructionist voices, Chi Yadan frowned slightly. After thinking for a moment, he tapped his knuckles on the table.
In an instant, the noise in the room stopped, and everyone looked at Chi Yadan.
Chi Yadan raised his eyes and scanned everyone's face, and said slowly:
"In that case, the cover page will be changed to an inside page, but Gucci's collaborative clothing will be photographed by him. Who has any objection to this? ”
As soon as these words came out, the designers, photographers and stylists in the room looked at each other, shook their heads and said:
“No.”
“Okay, then about Jin Qixuan’s inside page shooting , who of you wants to take a photo? ”
After the words fell, the three photographers in the room raised their hands at the same time.
"Yaxi...you kid! Didn't you just say that Jin Qixuan is not good at controlling details?!"
"So what, I have the patience to train him!"
After saying that, the photographer wearing glasses turned to Chi Yadan and raised his hand and assured:
“Editor-in-chief nim, I can’t guarantee that the results will be better than the Vogue group, but at least they won’t be. The difference is too big, I can definitely get more than 96.”
Another photographer quickly raised his hand and said:
"Chief editor nim! I can get more than 97!"
Seeing this, the photographer wearing glasses became anxious:
"Nu Na, I can get more than 98!"
"Ah, who allowed you to yell at Nu Na while working? You have been eliminated, editor-in-chief nim, choose me!"
While the three of them were competing for the shooting opportunity with red faces, Chi Yadan clapped his hands. , said:
"Okay, okay..."
"I'll give you 4 days to send me the moodboard. It's a blind selection. I'll only pick those that fit the content of this shoot."
"Guess!"
"The meeting is over, busy. Go!”
"Within."
……
……
August 12th, ten o'clock in the morning.
When Jin Qixuan arrived at the GQ shooting location and saw more than 20 people in the room, he was instantly stunned. This is wrong. Last time, only two people were responsible for the entire shooting process. Why are there so many this time?
"Jin Qixuanxi, don't be nervous."
Chi Yadan smiled and stretched out his hand to Jin Qixuan and said:
"I am the editor-in-chief of GQKorea magazine, Chi Yadan."
Jin Qixuan hurriedly stretched out his hands, leaned forward and said:
"Editor Chi, nim, Jin Qixuan is so cute."
"Nai, this is the cameraman, this is the stylist, this is the makeup artist, This is a reporter..."
Jin Qixuan bowed and said hello in turn. While returning the greeting, the other party was also looking at Jin Qixuan.
“This theme shoot is mainly for the promotion of Gucci clothing from season to season. I saw your magazine in Vogue. You have a great figure. We will also highlight your advantages and have two displays at the end. Photos of your body.”
“Nei, Kang Sang Mita”
"Let's do the styling first."
"Inside."
The stylist sister brought over a set of expensive-looking clothes, pointed in the direction of the fitting room, and said:< br>
"Jin Qixuan xi, let's go change clothes first."
"Inside."
After changing clothes in the dressing room and coming out, Jin Qixuan approached the stylist sister and asked cautiously:
< br>
"Is this dress just for wearing like this?"
The stylist sister glanced at Jin Qixuan doubtfully:
"Yes, do you feel uncomfortable in any way?"
>
Jin Qixuan pursed his lips, pointed to his chest, and said:
"Isn't the neckline a little too deep?"
The stylist sister was troubled by Jin Qixuan's conservative thinking. No, he looked closer at Jin Qixuan’s chest and said seriously:
"Is there a moment in your life when you suddenly want to break through yourself, for example, wear a deep V?"
Jin Qixuan: "..."
Soon, After being persuaded, Jin Qixuan started to officially shoot fashion blockbusters after styling.
Standing under the camera light, looking at a bunch of people watching him posing, especially wearing a deep V, Jin Qixuan felt very embarrassed.
After all, there were only two people shooting last time, and when I went to the Internet celebrity photo studio to practice, there were no more than four people watching.
More than twenty people appeared at once, which made Jin Qixuan’s movements very stiff during filming, and even his best facial expression management was unnatural.
But in fact, as a staff member of a fashion magazine, I have never seen any big storms, so there is nothing to be embarrassed about.
"Please relax, come on, take a deep breath, it's great."
The photographer naturally saw that something was wrong with Jin Qixuan's state, and he understood it. After all, this is a common problem for newcomers.
After helping to adjust the condition, the cameraman continued:
“Remember, you are the brightest boy, come on, put your hands in your pockets and pull up!”
The cameraman did indeed They are all good at mobilizing emotions. Within a few words, Jin Qixuan no longer felt nervous.
Recalling the method Jin Hannah taught him, Jin Qixuan relaxed his body, but in fact, every muscle under his clothes was tense.
Staring at the camera, his eyes drooped slightly, his hands were put into his trouser pockets to show his thumbs, and a half-smiling expression appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Seeing Jin Qixuan's state, the cameraman's eyes lit up and he was surprised. It's not as bad as they said.
And he has definitely practiced this state seriously in private!
After taking a few pictures, the cameraman waved to the staff while chatting with Jin Qixuan.
Seeing this, the staff held up a strong blower, and while Jin Qixuan was chatting with the cameraman with a smile, they suddenly turned on the blower and blew it on Jin Qixuan's hair.
The cameraman also caught this moment and quickly pressed the shutter.
“Crack!”
