Exclusive photographer

After the filming of “When the Wind Rises”, Lu Yan went back to re-shoot a few commercials for the newly endorsed M company.

At the filming site, he accidentally saw Ren Yanfei again.

“Hi, Lu Yan, we meet again.” Ren Yanfei greeted with a smile.

Lu Yan was a little surprised, “Ren Yanfei? Why are you!”

“The photos I took for you last time, the executives of M company said that they felt very good. So, I was officially invited to be the chief photographer this time. Therefore, please continue to give more advice.” Ren Yanfei gave a funny salute as he spoke.

Lu Yan smiled, “Why, finally decided to settle down? Are you going to sign a contract with M Company?”

“That’s not true,” Ren Yanfei shrugged, “I still prefer the feeling of freedom. Besides, M Company doesn’t need a dedicated photographer.”

Then Ren Yanfei looked Lu Yan up and down, and joked, “Well, if you invite me, I might consider giving up a little freedom.”

Lu Yan laughed, “It’s an honor! It’s just a pity that I can’t afford an exclusive photographer right now.”

“It’s a matter of time. You will be able to afford and need a dedicated photographer one day.” Ren Yanfei was not just complimenting.

Lu Yan’s eyes flashed, “According to your auspicious words, if there is such a day, I will definitely invite you to be my exclusive photographer.”

Ren Yanfei smiled and said, “Then let’s talk about it first. But the ugly words are ahead. Even if you are an old acquaintance, I will not be polite to you. My selling value is not low.”

The corners of Lu Yan’s mouth curled up, “Don’t worry, it will definitely be worth your worth.”

To be honest, Lu Yan was still very moved by Ren Yanfei’s casual suggestion.

He had always liked photography, and as a successful actor, how to make himself better in the camera was also a knowledge. And every good photographer had his own style, the same scenery, the same people, the angles and effects of different photographers were not the same. If he could work with a photographer who had a good fit, the effect would naturally be better.

As a freelance photographer, Ren Yanfei’s works could often appear in influential magazines like National Geographic, which could already demonstrate his level. After the last cooperation, Lu Yan felt that they were in good harmony. At least Lu Yan felt that the photos he took for himself were better than the professional photography team hired by M Company. Of course, it was not a technical problem, but a feeling problem. Apparently, M Company also felt the same way, so this time, Ren Yanfei was specially invited to be the chief photographer.

If there was such an exclusive photographer, it will definitely do more with less. After all, an artist was a profession with a high appearance rate.

However, Lu Yan was also very clear that such thoughts could only be thought about now. With his current wealth, he couldn’t afford a dedicated photographer, but there was still a chance to cooperate occasionally.

So, Lu Yan took advantage of the situation and left Ren Yanfei’s contact information. Ren Yanfei also promised that when Lu Yan needed it, if he had time, he would be there with him.

Sure enough, it was really comfortable to work with a photographer who was highly compatible. Ren Yanfei was especially able to capture the better side of Lu Yan. Every angle of the cut, the softness of the light, all highlighted Lu Yan’s aura and temperament. It was three hundred and sixty degrees without dead ends.

After watching the samples, Lu Yan also felt very satisfied, and secretly made up his mind that he must reach that height as soon as possible and have his own exclusive photographer.

In three days, the rest of the commercials were filmed. In the past three days, except for sleeping, Lu Yan spent all his time in the studio. He didn’t even leave during the meal time, and he didn’t complain about the intensity of his work.

Ren Yanfei admired his professional attitude, and at the same time began to take his casual advice seriously.

In fact, not only the subject needed a photographer who understood them, but a good photographer also needed a good model to create a good enough work. Ren Yanfei liked to travel around, and his works were mostly landscapes, and the characters who enter the frame occasionally had their own characteristics. Before, he was invited by Gavin to help take a set of photos. He was not very willing, but he couldn’t resist the request of a friend who had known him for many years, but he had an unexpected surprise.

Lu Yan was a very good model. He had a good grasp of the lens and understood the photographer’s requirements. For the first time, Ren Yanfei felt that photographing people was so interesting, much more interesting than sceneries that could not speak. So, when M company invited him again, and knew that the subject of the photo was still Lu Yan, he agreed immediately. Originally, he had planned to go to the African savannah to shoot big cats.

The exclusive photographer he mentioned jokingly with Lu Yan before was really just casual talk at first, but Lu Yan seemed to be quite interested, and he also believed that Lu Yan had this ability, coupled with his dedication and hard work, one day he would be able to stand at that height, so Ren Yanfei also began to seriously consider this proposal.

Many years later, when Ren Yanfei became a world-renowned photographer, looking back on that year, he was very fortunate that he made that suggestion at that time.

After the commercial was filmed, Lu Yan was taken into the recording studio by Qin Feng before he had time to take a good rest.

On the way, Qin Feng explained to Lu Yan, “Didn’t I tell you to prepare yourself mentally and find an opportunity to release an EP? During this time, I asked someone to write a song for you, and now it’s finally done. It just so happens that you are all free today, let’s go to the recording studio to try singing together to see the effect, and if there are any deficiencies, we can make corrections in time.”

Lu Yan nodded, of course he remembered Qin Feng’s promise to make him a real superstar, and he also remembered that Qin Feng said that a real superstar needed to thrive in multiple habitats. In fact, Lu Yan’s biggest interest was still in movies. His dream was to one day make a movie that would attract the attention of the world. But he knew how difficult it was to achieve this goal, especially in his current capacity, so whether it was filming TV dramas, receiving commercial endorsements, attending various events, or making records, it was all in order to get closer to that goal. Lu Yan knew that for the sake of his dreams, he had no right to be willful.

Since the goal was the same and a consensus was reached, Lu Yan handed over all the work arrangements to Qin Feng. He believed that no one was better than Qin Feng in this regard, and he believed more that Qin Feng will arrange it for him. But it wasn’t until he entered the recording studio that Lu Yan really realized how well Qin Feng had arranged for him.

When Lu Yan and the others arrived, there were already two people waiting in the recording studio. The two were young, probably only in their thirties. One was dressed casually and unkemptly, and the messy hair made Lu Yan think of Li Ran; The other was completely the opposite, neatly packed and dressed in a white Tang suit. At first glance, he thought he was a scholar who came out of ancient times, full of flavor.

As soon as Qin Feng saw the two of them, he greeted them with a smile and apologized, “Master Xi, Mu zi, I’m sorry for making you wait so long.”

The man in the white Tang suit glanced at them and said slowly, “The time is just right, we arrived early.”

The man with messy hair waved his hand impatiently, “It’s alright, don’t talk nonsense, bring the person” With this tone, someone who didn’t know what was going on thought that he had encountered a triad.

Qin Feng let Lu Yan move forward and said with a smile, “This is Lu Yan.”

Lu Yan smiled and nodded to the two of them.

Qin Feng pointed to the two and said to Lu Yan, “These two are very famous. You may not have seen them, but you must have heard of their names. This is Bai Xi, known as Master Xi; this is Lin Mu, but he prefers to be called Mu zi.”

The man in white Tang suit was Bai Xi, and the messy hair was Lin Mu.

Of course, Lu Yan had heard of them. In fact, when Qin Feng opened his mouth just now, Lu Yan was already moved, and he did not really confirm it until Qin Feng officially introduced it.

As long as there was a certain interest in popular songs, there was no one who did not know the two of them.

One of them was the most well-known lyricist in the country, and the other was the most well-known composer.

It was rumored that Bai Xi had written songs for ten years, and had written more than 2,000 songs in total, with an average of 200 songs a year, and almost one song in less than two days. And of his more than 2,000 songs, one-third were well-known, and more than 300 of them were very popular.

And Lin Mu, although the time spent composing music was not as long as Bai Xi’s writing lyrics, but in the past five years, half of the top ten golden songs selected by the most authoritative organization were Lin Mu’s works.

These two people, no matter whose works were hard to find, and their cooperation, which was also called “dream combination”, was the dream of all singers. It was just that in recent years, there were not many people who could ask them both to operate at the same time.

Lu Yan knew that no matter who sang this song today, it was destined to be a big hit. What Lu Yan didn’t know was how much Qin Feng had paid in order to invite these two people.

Lin Mu looked Lu Yan up and down, and handed him a piece of paper with a handwritten song on it.

Obviously, Lu Yan’s outstanding appearance did not add points to him, but made Lin Mu frown. He had seen many artists who perform and sing well. Generally, the more outstanding their appearance, the more unbelievable they sing, his attitude was particularly arrogant, “Familiarize yourself with it first, and try to sing it later. Can you read the stave? Would you like me to change it to a numbered notation?”

“No, I can understand.” Lu Yan smiled humbly, “Thank you, Mr. Lin.”

Lin Mu was a little surprised by his attitude, and his tone softened, “Hey, don’t call Mr. Lin, it’s weird, just call me Mu zi.”

“Okay, Mr. Mu zi.” Lu Yan smiled, being kind.

Lin Mu was obviously very satisfied, “Then you look at it first, and ask me if you don’t understand anything.”

Bai Xi just watched coldly, without saying a word.
