Chapter 2223 - 2223 Twins
2223 Twins
Qiao Weiyang’s performance was very good. Without needing the cameraman to say anything, she put on a proper expression and generously began posing.
The cameraman kept pressing the shutter to capture all the scenes.
After filming this set of photos, the editorial department came up with a new plan. After Qiao Weiyang’s selection, she chose a few more sets of clothes to shoot.
Due to Qiao Weiyang’s professional performance, today’s shoot went very smoothly. Although filming started a little late, it ended earlier than everyone had expected.
Everyone in the editorial department was watching the shoot today. Almost everyone had become Qiao Weiyang’s fans.
After the shoot, Qiao Weiyang changed into her own clothes and came out.
She saw everyone sticking their heads out to look around.
Qiao Weiyang smiled generously and said, “Do you want to take a photo with me?”
The young lady standing opposite her was an intern editor. She was afraid of causing trouble for the magazine company, so she did not dare to take the initiative to come over. When she heard Qiao Weiyang’s words, she quickly nodded.
“Come on.” Although Qiao Weiyang had a cold personality, as long as she was willing to show kindness, people would feel that they could be close to her.
With the young lady leading the way, the others in the editorial department also rushed over.
“I have ten minutes. I can give you my autograph after taking photos.”
“Sure, sure.”
Hearing this, everyone hurriedly took out the pen and paper in their hands.
When Qiao Weiyang was giving her autograph to the young lady, the latter asked in a low voice, “Can you dedicate it to me?”
“Sure. Tell me your name.”
“My name is Ling Ling. This is my first year of work. I haven’t become a full-time employee yet. I hope you can wish me success so that I can pa.s.s my interns.h.i.+p. If it’s too troublesome, you can just write something short.”
“It’s no trouble.” Qiao Weiyang picked up her pen and wrote down her blessings.
Ling Ling was overjoyed. “Thank you!”
After giving everyone her autograph, Qiao Weiyang turned around and left.
Lu Mingjue waited for her to get into the car before saying with a smile, “Celebrities have to be cold to make their fans more loyal.”
“Although that’s the case, celebrities are also humans with emotions and desires. Rather than putting on a cold persona, I choose to be respectful.” Qiao Weiyang didn’t care what her fans thought of her. She only cared about her heart.
“It’s up to you, Sister-in-law. You’re not the type to hype yourself up anyway.”
…
At night, World’s Garden of Scenery posted a few Weibo posts about Qiao Weiyang. They posted photos and videos taken of her to gather excitement for the next issue of the magazine.
The shoot this time was very good. The cameraman did not need to edit the photos much. Once he changed the filter, the photos were perfect.
Qiao Weiyang’s appearance could withstand the close-up shots, so there was naturally no problem with the shoot.
After the content was released, everyone could tell that the previous rumors of her acting like a big shot and refusing to shoot the cover of Feng Shang were fake.
The fans’ words were very reasonable. [They said that Qiao Weiyang acted like a big shot and didn’t shoot the cover of Feng Shang. Don’t you know that Feng Shang is a first-tier magazine while World Garden is a second-tier magazine? Who would act like a big shot to such an extent?]
Many people agreed with this statement.
The fans and general public argued and came to the unanimous conclusion that Qiao Jierou had intercepted the job halfway and s.n.a.t.c.hed Qiao Weiyang’s job.
The arguments and curses against Qiao Weiyang returned to Qiao Jierou.
The chief editor of World’s Garden of Scenery also posted a photo on her Weibo. [Qiao Weiyang is a very cooperative, punctual, and kind artiste. She deserves to be more popular! She’s much better than some unprofessional artistes I’ve interacted with.]
These words were deliberately mocking Qiao Jierou.
Later on, the chief editor probably felt that it was a little too much and did not want to start a war, so she deleted the last sentence.
However, Qiao Jierou still saw it.
“What’s wrong with her? Does she think she can be like this after being the chief editor for a long time?” Qiao Jierou knew at a glance that Chief Editor Ling was referring to her.
Jiang Lin advised, “We did stand her up today. It’s normal for her to want to vent her anger. Anyway, she said that and praised Qiao Weiyang, but she didn’t dare to directly call out your name. She must feel exasperated.”
Qiao Jierou asked, “Why hasn’t Feng Shang released any photos or videos yet?”
Jiang Lin had just asked Feng Shang, and Feng Shang said that they were still editing the content.
They had also shown Jiang Lin the unedited photos and videos. There were a lot of photos to edit, and some of the frames in the video had to be edited frame by frame. The workload was indeed a little heavy.
“Well, they said that if they want to strive for perfection, they have to edit the photos to make them look better. The photos will be out tomorrow night at the latest.”
“What kind of speed is this? A first-tier magazine can’t even compare to a second-tier magazine?”
“I’ll try my best to rush them again. Perhaps their efficiency is compromised because there was a last-minute change today.”
Jiang Lin didn’t dare to tell Qiao Jierou the truth, afraid that Qiao Jierou would fall out with her.
Actually, every artiste had flaws. Their photos needed to be edited. The artistes themselves knew this very well.
For example, Qiao Jierou’s skin was not very good. There were many fine lines, and the shape of her face was subpar. Her legs were shorter and thicker too. Although she looked like a great beauty in real life, these shortcomings were very obvious under the harsh test of the camera.
Editing her flaws was a test of the staff’s skills in the later stages.
Usually, it was normal for photos to be released in a day or two or even a week.
In the past, Qiao Jierou was also very used to this timeline, but she was going against Qiao Weiyang this time.
She could complete a photoshoot in record-breaking time. There was basically no need to edit her photos either. The staff just needed to edit the background. Naturally, the other party was fast to release content.
Qiao Weiyang’s speed naturally made all the processes on Qiao Jierou’s side very slow.
…
In Feng Shang, the photos were being edited urgently.
The chief editor also urged everyone to work overtime. They couldn’t let a B-list magazine like World’s Garden of Scenery release the photos and videos from their shoot while their own company hadn’t. It really didn’t make sense.
As the chief editor, her KPI was also very strict. She had to maintain a good relations.h.i.+p with the artistes and get more sponsors.h.i.+ps for the magazine. Maintaining the magazine’s good operations was her performance indicator.
As a first-tier magazine, Feng Shang’s compet.i.tors were not only other first-tier magazines but also second-tier magazines. She was under a lot of pressure.
“Everyone, you must work overtime tonight. Otherwise, we won’t be able to publish any photos tomorrow night,” the chief editor said to everyone.
Everyone replied helplessly.
Seeing that the chief editor was still busy, no one had any complaints.
The chief editor was communicating with the advertisers. Nowadays, those who were willing to put advertis.e.m.e.nts in magazines were fas.h.i.+on brands as well as jewelry, skincare, and cosmetic brands. The more famous the artistes they invited, the more expensive the advertis.e.m.e.nt fees would be.
