Chapter 135 - Lotus Flowers
Chapter 135: Chapter 135. Lotus Flowers
At this moment, the photographer was brainstorming in his mind. Unlike his previous worries, when he saw Ding Shan’s new look, his mind burst with countless inspirations.
In the entertainment industry, he was used to meeting the requirements of all the artistes step by step. It was almost the same, and he was gradually becoming stereotyped.
But now, the photographer felt that he had a desire to create something that he had not thought about for a long time. Retro, traditional culture, nature, returning to the basics…countless keywords kept appearing in the photographer’s mind.
The photographer could not help but look at Ding Shan repeatedly. He took one look and then ordered people to look for something. After another look, his eyes lit up, calling people to look for another prop.
After a flurry of work, the scene for the shoot was finally almost completed.
Xiao Zhao and the makeup artist were dumbfounded as they watched the scene unfold. The execution of the shooting team hired by Director Yin was unbelievable! In such a short period, the studio’s background had changed drastically, and several lotus flowers had even been brought over! Even this was possible?
Ding Shan raised her eyebrows with great interest as she looked at the newly set of scenes.
The photographer carefully adjusted the position of the lotus prop a few more times and doused a few more drops of water on the fresh lotus flower, making it look even more alluring.
The photographer nodded in satisfaction as if he wanted Ding Shan’s affirmation. He could not wait to discuss his thoughts with Ding Shan, “Do you know why I use the lotus flower? First, the lotus flower can represent a different kind of collaboration and an attitude that can not be underestimated! Moreover, the lotus flower is not tainted by mud, isn’t it just like you?”
The photographer never forgot to make his work closely related to Ding Shan’s character, “Look, this is your first program since the scandal of your family. It’s your comeback, so you must express your attitude. I use a lotus flower, which just so happens to echo your image of a native family that just got rid of the mess, blooming alone and standing tall and graceful! How is it?”
The photographer excitedly expressed his thoughts and looked at Ding Shan with anticipation.
Ding Shan smiled. This photographer was dedicated and thoughtful. He thought about her well. It was hard for him to come up with so many ideas in such a short time.
Ding Shan smiled and nodded, giving the photographer an affirmation, “I think it’s perfect. Lotus flowers are often drawn in ink paintings, matching my style today. Your inspiration is not bad. You even considered my situation. Thank you.”
The photographer was delighted. “It’s your choice of style that gave me the inspiration!” Then he paused and looked at Ding Shan’s dress. He said in a low voice, “But I feel something is missing. The color tone of your dress is intense, and it feels like a rich ink painting. Just the lotus flowers and the background are too thin. What other elements feel like ink paintings?”
The photographer was in a dilemma. Having such a good inspiration was not easy, so he had to make it perfect. He had a feeling that Ding Shan’s photos would be published!
Ding Shan stood in the same place politely and waited quietly. She was not in a hurry to disturb the photographer’s train of thought.
Xiao Zhao was straightforward. After thinking for a while, he said directly, “Why do you need to find other things? Why don’t you add a few ink paintings? As the background, isn’t it just right?”
The photographer looked at the venue and shook his head after thinking for a while, “No, although ink paintings echo with the dress, it’s easy to steal the limelight. The background is too much, and it’s messy. It doesn’t have that cold feeling. It’s tacky!”
Xiao Zhao didn’t have a choice this time. He wanted to look for an ink painting element, but it couldn’t be an ink painting. What else could it be?
Ding Shan spoke softly, “What about calligraphy? Some elegant calligraphy could be placed at the back without any pattern. Does it have the same feeling as what you said? The rice paper is white so that it wouldn’t affect anything. If the calligraphy was a little messy, it shouldn’t be too overwhelming.”
The photographer clapped his hands hard. “That’s right! An ink painting skirt, a lotus flower, and calligraphy! These three should be a perfect match. How could I be so muddle-headed? I forgot about this!”
When Xiao Zhao saw that the problem had been solved, she was pleased. However, after thinking for a while, she still asked, “Then where can we find the calligraphy works now? Can we use the finished products directly?”
After saying that, she looked at the other staff members with anticipation. After all, they had already found the lotus flower. The calligraphy works should be very easy to find as well. They had wasted some time. The program team’s staff would come to fetch sister Shan to the recording location in a while. Time was tight!
The staff member replied swiftly, “I’ll get it right away!”
