"By the way, you've already been recording that violin piece and the piano piece, right? Do you want a short video, like an MV?"
Zhu Zhichang, who had been typing non-stop, suddenly remembered something and looked up and asked.
Lu Qingfeng turned his head from the scenery outside the window.
"It's all up to you. How do you want to shoot it?"
"While you're recording, let Niu Shiyu shoot the footage and edit it. It's simple and convenient."
"Okay."
It's not a big deal either.
Both songs were agreed upon beforehand. The piano piece was the "Starry Sky" that he performed on "Travel with the Wind" a long time ago. It was also this piece of music combined with the scene of the sky that made him popular for the first time.
Because the original version is a piano piece, even though there is a lot of demand online, he still plans to release the single after he has mastered piano skills.
The violin piece was suggested by the middle-aged agent.
The song was actually written in December, but because I had to rehearse for the Forbidden City concert and then the college entrance examination, it has been put on hold until now.
So I just released both songs together.
Zhu Zhichang has also contacted the channel, and it’s Penguin Music.
"We've already contacted 'Crossover Singer'. We'll go to the TV station the day after tomorrow to discuss the styling, the repertoire, and the first stage rehearsal."
Because it was winter vacation, Lu Qingfeng, who didn't have to go to school, had a very full work schedule.
We chatted about work along the way and the vehicle soon arrived at a large studio. The surrounding environment was pretty good, with mountains and water.
Inside, the photography team arranged by the magazine was making final preparations.
Zhu Zhichang went over to communicate, and soon a man with a slight beard and wearing a scarf came over.
"Hello, I'm Hu Yue, the photographer for this trip."
The man reached out his hand and looked Lu Qingfeng up and down with a satisfied look in his eyes.
"Hello, Mr. Hu, it's a pleasure to work with you."
On the way here, Zhu Zhichang introduced this photographer in detail.
He is an absolute big name in the field of graphic design. He has started his own company and has collaborated with many fashion magazines. He is also the exclusive photographer specially invited by many brand fashion shows.
He has also won international visual arts awards.
What’s interesting is that this person is a latecomer. He used to be an editor at a fashion magazine, and later he started learning photography. It was also because he didn’t find his talent in the early stage, and it took him some time to find the right field.
Lu Qingfeng specially found some of his works for viewing.
He may not have been able to see it before, but his new talent has given him a different feeling in this kind of visual works. After all, although photography and painting have different forms of expression, they have similarities in creative concepts.
Both are visual arts, both convey the creator's ideas through images, and have similar requirements in composition, light and shadow, and color.
"Although I only heard of you before coming here, after seeing your work, I really like it. Your use of color and light has an artistic quality like oil painting. Your lens language is very unique, and the portraits you capture are smart and full of life. I'm very happy to work with you."
Hu Yue's face immediately brightened with a smile.
"As expected of a writer, you're different from those celebrities. Don't call me teacher anymore. Just call me Brother Hu or Brother Yue. I'll call you Classmate Lu just like I do online."
"That's great, Brother Yue."
Zhu Zhichang watched from the side, feeling both relieved and a little frustrated.
The artists I manage have high emotional intelligence, which can save the agent a lot of trouble. I am just afraid of those who are stupid and brainless and have to clean up the mess.
However, having too high an EQ can easily make agents feel like they are not being used.
Hu Yue has a high status in the industry, and because he suffered too much in his early years, his temper is a bit weird after he got promoted, and there are rumors that he scolded artists and made them cry.
Who would have thought that his boss would become a close friend with the other party after just a few words.
Zhu Zhichang recalled and found that almost no one who had met the boy had a bad impression of him.
From Lao Jia at the piano store to Hu Ziming, the director when shooting the commercial, both people he knew praised it highly.
Thinking back to the first time I met the boy, I seemed to have a similar feeling, so I later gave him information about CCTV variety shows for free.
What is this, a humanoid succubus?
wrong!
Thinking about the boy's eyes, he should be a human-shaped vixen.
With all these random thoughts in their minds, the three of them came to the photography set, and Hu Yue began to explain the theme of this shoot.
"What we are going to shoot this time is Chinese aesthetics: the gentleman."
Before they arrived, the photographer hand-drew a few simple positioning diagrams to show his ideas for what to do next.
"This inspiration also comes from a movie I saw a while ago in which Mr. Lu starred. His appearance in ancient costume was very stunning. In addition, Mr. Lu's recent work as a writer and musician reminds me of the gentleman praised by our ancient scholars."
"For clothing, I chose a Dior coat with a stand-up collar and buttons, paired with a sweater from the same brand. For pants, I chose drapey, casual, old-fashioned trousers. I forgot to wear shoes, and went barefoot to convey the free and easy character of ancient scholars."
"In terms of styling, I will dye Lu's hair once, the white kind. As for the background, it is winter now, with plum blossoms as the scenery, and the freehand painting of ancient ink landscape."
Hu Yue’s introduction was very detailed.
Magazine shoots are very important to an artist’s image.
It doesn’t mean that the photos published in magazines will definitely look good. There are also many cases where fans don’t like the cover photos taken.
The reasons behind this are complicated. It may be the photographer's fault, or it may be the aesthetic problem of the artist team.
The previous conversation made Hu Yue feel that Lu Qingfeng had aesthetic taste, so even though he had communicated with Zhu Zhichang before, he still mentioned it again this time.
Lu Qingfeng nodded in approval.
Then comes the makeup stage.
The concept is the concept, but the final concrete effect depends on whether the artist himself can present the photographer's ideas.
Those who understand the cutting-edge designs of luxury brands will understand, but sometimes artists with slight flaws in their facial features or body shapes cannot handle them.
Flat photos, especially full-body photos, are particularly demanding on the artist's figure.
Three and a half hours had passed, but when Lu Qingfeng, with a head full of white hair and a change of clothes, walked back into the studio, everyone present subconsciously looked over.
The staff members are all employees of Hu Yue's own company, working with his boss. He has photographed countless celebrities and entertainers, including many from abroad.
I still think Lu Qingfeng's figure and appearance are among the best, and his elegant feeling sets him apart from other artists.
Gray hair is very sensitive to skin color. Most male artists who dye their hair gray need to use makeup to brighten their skin to make up for the flaws caused by the hair color.
But the boy is different, his skin is really good, which can be seen from his hands.
"Because of his eyes, I heard some people online call him a vixen."
"Hehe, looking at it this way, they really do look like them, but they're still the same as when they were little."
There were female staff members whispering.
