atypical romanticism

"SHINE" is a magazine brand that gradually emerged after being acquired by Rookie.

In the circle, although they are not as good as the old-fashioned "five big and two small", they still have their own place, but it is really embarrassing to be in the same position.

In order to change the status quo, "SHINE" has been actively cooperating with traffic stars over the years to increase sales, and on the other hand, it has made great efforts to "improve itself". , Looking back at "two hundred and five".

It stands to reason that Zhou Yu has only been in the company for three years, and it is not up to her to be in charge of a plan of this level on the cover of the first issue of the New Year. She specially handed over a letter of recommendation to Zhou Yu, and she could be regarded as "the crown prince has ascended the throne".

Zhou Yu doesn't have big ambitions, but he's not the kind of idiot who pushes his chances away.

A thing that spends all of money and material resources can't afford to splash a little bit of water, either the stone is thrown into the stagnant water, or the person throwing the stone is not good.

New Year's First Issue There are plenty of lively fish in this pool of water, and those who have problems are undoubtedly the sticklers.However, it is impossible to replace all the people regardless, so Zhou Yu thought for three days and decided to try to cooperate with the new photography team this time.

But in this situation, who can tell her why she can run into Xiang Sheng no matter what she does!

"Miss Zhou," Xiang Sheng asked softly, "Can we start?"

Zhou Yu regained his senses, got up and walked to the front of the stage, just about to speak when he heard a few chuckles coming from his side.

She frowned and looked at Xiang Sheng: What are you laughing at?

The black fountain pen was twirling deftly between Xiang Sheng's fingers, and Xiang Sheng looked at her innocently, with deer eyes full of steam, and the whole person looked pitiful and quite innocent.

Zhou Yu looked away in embarrassment, and soon felt that something was wrong—with her as the center, everyone on her side was facing Xiang Sheng with social smiles.

She suddenly admired Xiang Sheng, if she faced this row of embarrassing but polite smiles, she would want to find a piece of frozen tofu to kill her.

Looking at Sheng instead, he was sitting upright like a mountain, as steady as an old dog, calmly staring at the PPT behind her, with a calm smile on his face, like a beautiful mascot.

Zhou Yu bit the bullet and finished the last sentence, just returned to his seat and sat down, the "mascot" said unhurriedly: "Mr. Zhou, do I give you a bad impression?"

It's really great that you can realize this, Zhou Yu complained.

It is one thing to slander, but it is another thing to speak out. Zhou Yu smiled socially and asked, "Of course not. This is the first time Teacher Xiang and I have met. How could we have such an idea?"

"Oh, that's it." Xiang Sheng was thoughtful, and Zhou Yu suddenly had a bad feeling, "I understand, it must be because my green-faced fangs scared Teacher Zhou and everyone present, but at the beginning It was Mr. Zhou who first sent me an email to flirt with you, you can’t just give up in chaos!”

Zhou Yu was stunned by these words: What did I do?How did things go in this direction!

The originally silent crowd roared with laughter, and Emily laughed even more, jokingly said: "There is such a thing, Xiao Zhou, give us an explanation!"

"I'm not that capable." Zhou Yu smiled wryly.

She looked at Xiang Sheng from the corner of her eye, she was sitting among the laughing crowd, with a shallow smile, quite a bit of "everyone is drunk and I am alone" leisurely.

——Xiang Sheng was trying to ease the atmosphere from embarrassment, but what's the deal with her?

Zhou Yu followed Xiang Sheng's words, and said leisurely: "Teacher Xiang, I didn't do anything, how can I be regarded as a rebellion and abandonment?"

Xiang Sheng was stunned, Zhou Yu pretended to be helpless, and sighed: "I didn't get any benefits, so I was labeled as a 'scumbag' first, what a loss!"

As soon as the words were finished, Zhou Yu shook his head helplessly, and suddenly felt that the breath stuck in his heart was much smoother.

Zhou Yu just wanted to drag the topic back, Xiang Sheng seemed to do it on purpose, and slowly brushed his long hair, and said, "Then I understand, Teacher Zhou thinks I am as beautiful as a fairy."

"What?" Zhou Yu was at a loss.

Xiang Sheng put his arms on the table, and said earnestly: "Look, what I'm asking is, do you think I'm ugly so you ignore me? You didn't answer my question directly. Instead, it's a pity that you didn't get anything. , let’s be fair, if I look like a Yasha, you would say that against your will.”

Zhou Yu didn't understand: "So?"

Xiang Sheng looked up at her, and brushed the long hair that was scattered around her neck to her back. In an instant, the faint scent of roses danced on the tip of Zhou Yu's nose, and she unconsciously lost her mind—this time The human hair was beautiful, a cascade of light chestnut-colored waist-length hair that glistened in the sun.

Xiang Sheng leaned on the back of the chair and said, "We are all real people who can't lie, so I reasonably think that you just praised me for being good-looking, and,"

Zhou Yu was dragged back to reality by this "and", and his heart raised his throat, for fear that she would say something surprising again.

Xiang Sheng's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, hiding all the amorous feelings in his eyes: "And, let's talk about something serious."

Zhou Yu heaved a sigh of relief, and replied with a half smile: "Yes, let's get down to business."

Although Xiang Sheng looked like an unreliable bastard, but when it came to work, he seemed to be taken away seriously.

"The theme this time, we think about destruction and life."

Xiang Sheng frowned slightly, and Zhou Yu explained: "This theme is inspired by Mr. Xiang's award-winning work "Life". This is also one of the opportunities that we really want to cooperate with Mr. Xiang."

She leaned on the back of the chair, squinted at Zhou Yu, and tapped her fingers rhythmically on the table: "It is also my honor to cooperate with "SHINE", but I am just a photo shooter, so I would like to eat more beef at night." It can be painful for several nights, and the whole body is worth a lot of money except the camera, and this concept is worth three melons."

"For creators, works are like their own children. No one wants their children to call the old Wang next door daddy."

There was always a non-aggressive smile on the corner of Xiang Sheng's mouth, but every word was like a thunderbolt, and Zhou Yu's mind went blank, "Some people don't mind re-creation, some people don't mind, I'm not talented, it's the latter .”

There was silence in the meeting room, Zhou Yu unconsciously clenched the corners of her clothes, she raised her eyes to meet Xiang Sheng's, and said word by word: "Teacher Xiang, I didn't copy your concept."

He nodded to Sheng, signaling her to continue.

"I don't think the theme this time is the second creation of "Life," Xiang Sheng sneered, but didn't mean to interrupt her, Zhou Yu continued, ""Life" emphasizes the living Great, and what we want to highlight is the 'ruin' grandeur."

Xiang Sheng suppressed his smile, and it took him a long time to regain his carefree "uncle" demeanor.

"Your concept is too artistic, and I, a vulgar optimist, may not be able to do it."

Zhou Yu subconsciously clenched the infrared light in his hand.

There was a dead silence in the conference room, Xiang Sheng stretched leisurely: "Happy cooperation is based on the same concept. From the current point of view, it may be difficult for Mr. Zhou and I to get along with each other," she stood up and waved her hand , "If this meeting continues, I'm afraid there will be a quarrel. Everyone is a decent person. It's so ugly to blush and have a thick neck. I'll take my leave first. Let's talk about it another day."

"To..." The "squeak" from the shaking door sealed her mouth.

Zhou Yu has been in the industry for more than three years, during which time she has come into contact with many people.

Whether it is a smiling tiger who is polite on the surface and stabs a knife in the back, or a tendon that writes emotions on his face, they have one thing in common: that is, the center of all behaviors is to serve tangible interests.

Unlike Sheng, she seemed to be purely for her own happiness.

But she is not a heartless fool, Xiang Sheng is very smart, a few words can make others follow her thoughts and integrate into her way of doing things.

It can be said that he is a "wonderful man" who combines the essence of the sun and the moon and the contradictions of ancient and modern times.

"We're about to start work, the cameraman has left. This is the end!" Zhou Yuxun raised his head, and Xiao Xiao, who was also an "old comrade" in the planning team, was talking.

At first glance, these words are blaming Xiang Sheng for not having the spirit of contract, but who invited this "big Buddha" who has no spirit of contract?

"I'll go talk to her again," Zhou Yu said calmly, although he didn't have a clue in his heart, but he couldn't show timidity on his face, "Young artists have more personality and are easy to get ahead."

"That's right," Emily echoed, "she's not the only photographer in the world."

"However, one of the promotional banners we put out this time is 'new photographer Xiang Sheng joins'!" Xiao Xiao said with her forehead supported.

She knocked her knuckles on the table and said, every word seemed to be extraordinarily loud: "I didn't agree to change the team at the time. Is the temper of picking someone up and leaving if there is a disagreement, is it reliable?"

Speaking to this extent, it is no different from cursing people in public.

The atmosphere in the conference room dropped to freezing point. Although the others were silent, their thoughts were very similar to Xiao Xiao's. Zhou Yu felt that he was pushed to the opposite of everyone.

Zhou Yu took a deep breath, and said slowly: "I'll go talk to Xiang Sheng again, if it doesn't work, I'll contact a new photographer, we also had backup photographers at the time, the publicity has not been fully rolled out yet, and there are room for redemption."

Just as Xiao Xiao wanted to refute, he was interrupted by Zhou Yu: "The photography team must be changed, otherwise this year's cover will still be 'out of everyone'. I don't think you all want to work hard for half a year, and finally get nothing in return."

She looked at Xiao Xiao, and at this point, her attitude was very clear - either change the filming team, or change you, choose.

Xiao Xiao threw the folder away, snorted coldly, and sat back down again.

Zhou Yu heaved a sigh of relief, tried his best to put on a smiling face, and said, "I'm sorry everyone, I'll treat you to coffee this afternoon as an apology."

After the others left, Zhou Yu looked at the swinging door, his feet seemed to weigh a thousand catties, but he couldn't take the first step in the short distance of a few meters.

Outside the door, everyone has endless work, and no one will take her affairs to heart, but she is still timid.

She wanted to do a good job in this project more than anyone else, but it seemed that things backfired again.

Zhou Yu raised her head and fanned her eyes with her hands, but the tears still fell down uncontrollably. She laughed at herself and murmured: "I seem to be almost meaningless in everything I do."

She let out a breath, rubbed her sore temples, and opened Starbucks.

Twelve cups of Starbucks cost nearly 400 yuan. After deducting the rent, utilities, and additional medical expenses, there is a total of 800 yuan left this month.

If I could save the money for going to the doctor, I wouldn't have to live so poorly.

-

In the evening, the neon lights and the setting sun co-exist in the sky, and another bustle of the city quietly wakes up.

Zhou Yu walked through the lively neighborhood, and walked past the exit of the subway where people were coming and going.From the spacious asphalt road, back to the not so smooth concrete ground.

Downstairs in the unit, Xiang Sheng covered his eyes with a red cloth, mixed among the children, and shouted with a smile, "Don't run, my old grandson is here!"

The street lamps and the setting sun echoed each other, reflecting on Xiang Sheng, Zhou Yu was so engrossed in watching that Xiang Sheng forgot to dodge when he walked towards her in a daze.

After Xiang Sheng realized that he had bumped into someone, he quickly tore off the red cloth strips from his eyes, and helped Zhou Yu up, "Zhou Yu? Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Zhou Yu withdrew his hand, and the two fell into an awkward silence.

Xiang Sheng leaned against the wall directly opposite Zhou Yu, looking at the children playing not far away, with a bright smile.

Zhou Yu admired Xiang Sheng's face openly. The first meeting was too hasty, and the meeting in the morning was not pleasant. Only then did her dull nerves realize that Xiang Sheng's boasting of her beauty is not narcissism, but self-awareness at best. .

She had a face full of classical gentleness, but perhaps because of her occupation, she was surrounded by pure and natural wild beauty.

The fiery orange tore through the sky, and unexplainable feelings of unknown origin spread across the wilderness.

"Xiang Sheng."

"Huh?" Xiang Sheng looked at her.

Zhou Yu looked at her and said sincerely, "You are really beautiful."

Xiang Sheng was taken aback, chuckled lightly, and replied, "Thank you."

"Not only am I beautiful, but I'm also an easy-going young artist."

The young artist above?

Zhou Yu's face burned—how did she know?

She wanted to explain, but everything she said seemed to be sophistry, and finally she smiled wryly: "I'm sorry, I was in charge at that time."

Xiang Sheng glanced at her, nodded casually, and took another photo.

"I'm more interested in taking photos than talking about whether young artists like to show their temper." Xiang Sheng put away his camera and said.

"How about," Zhou Yu raised his head and met the fireworks reflected in Xiang Sheng's eyes, "Teacher Zhou fooled me again?"
