The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 76 Interview Opportunity
There were no clouds in the sky, the sun was scorching, and the whole world was dyed a gorgeous golden color. Even if I didn't raise my head, I could hardly open my eyes.

Bruce-Douglas couldn't help but squint his eyes, as if he had forgotten to wear his glasses when going out with a thousand degrees of myopia, and groped forward.

Push open the door of the warehouse where the studio is located, stand against the wall, light a cigarette, then slowly squat down along the wall and take a deep breath.

Slightly irritable.

If he could, he didn't want to stand under the California sun. It was unimaginable that it was still "spring". At least according to the calendar, summer still had to wait, but the sun was already so hot. He just stood outside for thirty seconds. I feel like I could evaporate at any moment.

but.

My head is still empty.

No ideas, no inspiration, a blank, and he needed to breathe some fresh air.

bother.

As a top fashion/people photographer, Bruce's job is to shoot fashion blockbusters to show the texture of the models and the colors of the clothes.

Today's filming is for Anson Wood, a newcomer who has caused a lot of discussion and attention recently due to his guest appearance on "Friends".

Logically speaking, it is almost impossible for such a newcomer to get a magazine shooting opportunity. Although "GQ" is not on the level of "Vogue" or "Elle", it is still a magazine coveted by male actors in North America. Even the inner pages are highly competitive.

Not to mention just a guest appearance in "Friends", even if you are the protagonist of a commercial blockbuster, you may not be able to win magazine shooting opportunities in the fierce competition that is coming in the summer season. There are dazzling works and countless actors lining up to wait for promotion. Chance.

"GQ" is undoubtedly an important battlefield.

but.

It is rumored that David Klein personally endorsed Anson, and the incredible ratings performance of "Friends" really made Anson gain a lot of attention. After careful consideration, the editor-in-chief of "GQ" let Anson appear on the inside page as a model. Anyway, The appearance and temperament are indeed outstanding.

Not an actor, but a model——

Commonly known as a vase.

Of course, there’s also a page of interviews, which is a bonus.

However, Bruce doesn't care about these things, he is just a photographer.

Shooting a magazine is just a job, not an artistic creation. You receive a task, complete it, and then wait for the next task.

this is all.

To be honest, when I heard that the subject of the photo was Anson, Bruce was a little curious but more worried, because he was not sure about Anson's performance in front of the camera. This is somewhat similar to acting but it is another matter, "good-looking" It doesn't mean you can take good photos.

Bruce has photographed countless actors, models and other public figures in his career, but good-looking does not mean that he will be able to make a film. Flat photography often requires capturing the fleeting temperament and look of the model——

However, not all models have such a temperament.

Models are different from models, actors are from actors, and people are different.

Like Josh Hartnett.

For example, Kate-Beckinsale.

First of all, they are very good-looking, very good-looking, the kind of good-looking people who are completely amazed after seeing them in person, the kind of good-looking people who can still stand out even in Hollywood where handsome men and beautiful women gather.

There is no doubt about this.

However, their flat photos have no "life", and the film cannot capture their spirit at all; or conversely, they do not know how to show their vitality in front of the camera.

Therefore, when the audience sees them in person, they are often amazed that real people look better.

Vases, mostly like this.

It is precisely because of this that fashion designers and photographers often don't like models who are too good-looking, not because they don't yearn for or expect them, but because they tend to have edges and individuality, so that they can show the color of their works.

Bruce is now worried that Anson may also have such a problem.

Although the praise about Anson has been particularly popular recently, they are not amateurs. They all know what these so-called trends are about. Those praises cannot calm Bruce's worries and considerations at all. Looking good is very important, but in Hollywood, it is the least important.

And, that's not all.

The shooting theme and fashion theme were discussed and positioned by the editor-in-chief and the editorial team, and they needed to match the content of this issue of the magazine. Finally, the theme they determined for Anson was:

The energy in the suit.

Bruce:…

Suit. Suit. Suit.

Eight out of ten male actors shoot in suits. The ever-changing core theme of "GQ" is formal wear, with nothing new at all.

For photographers, it’s almost like an assembly line operation.

If it's just like this, the assembly line operation is just an assembly line. Bruce doesn't mind. Work, get paid, and leave all at once. Don't take it too easy.

The problem is that!

This is already the third suit-themed shoot in just one week.

--Grass.

Bruce wanted to curse, he really had no inspiration, not a drop of it.

The first set of suits, from the "X-Men" crew, shot Huge-Jackman (Huge-Jackman), and also appeared on the cover of the July issue of "GQ".

Bruce is very satisfied with the success of the filming. Jackman has a unique charm of a mixed gentleman and a boxer, which is as surging as the Niagara Falls.

Worthy of being a cover character.

The second set of suits belongs to Brad Pitt. As the happiest man this summer, he is about to get married. "GQ" invited Brad to shoot a series of groom's dress themes to show the charm of men at the wedding.

To be honest, the filming process was not easy, but Bruce still thought of a way to show Brad's tough and tender charm. The inspiration came from "The Years of Love" and complemented the image of a happy man about to get married.

After the filming was over, Bruce felt that he had exhausted all his strength and the inspiration for the "suit theme" in the recent period had been exhausted.

result……

Bruce strongly suspected that the "GQ" editorial team was not satisfied with David Klein's fishing for a group interview on "Friends". Although they had agreed to Anson's inside pages and interviews, the group interview on "Friends" was still not finalized, so that The editorial team strongly suspected that they had been deceived, so they deliberately dug a hole for Anson and taught Anson a lesson.

Ba.

Bruce took a heavy drag on the cigarette, and he didn't even have the strength to curse. His mind was full of mush, but he still had no idea.

He didn't know how to proceed with today's filming. With Hugh Jackman and Brad Pitt behind him, how could the same theme be transformed into a flower? He didn't know if he should run away now?
For a moment, Bruce couldn't tell whether "GQ" was teasing him or Anson.

Gululu.

From far to near, there was the sound of rolling wheels, and Bruce looked along the sound reflexively, and then saw a young man coming in the wind on a skateboard, the sun and heat waves rolling under his feet like ocean waves.

Youthful and energetic, a wisp of breeze from the valley split the billowing heat waves and came towards him. Because of the backlight, he couldn't see his face clearly, and his facial features were hidden in a halo, but Bruce couldn't help but look at it, curious about that face.

subconsciously.

Bruce held a cigarette in his mouth, raised his hands, used his thumbs and index fingers to form a frame, and started composing the picture using his brain as the film.
