Chapter 115: The Queen! The Queen!

  An artist may not necessarily have talent, but he must have a peculiar temperament.

  Kinder, who was deeply invested in the shoot, was extremely dissatisfied with the interruption, even if it was his client. After shouting "Cut!", he handed the camera to his assistant, who had been helping him with lighting and props, and walked up to Lian Qingshan with a scowl on his face. "Mr. Lian, is there something else? We've already discussed everything beforehand. This interruption will disrupt the continuity of the shoot. Later, the same set of photos will have two different effects. Whose responsibility will that be?"

  "I'm sorry," said Lian Qingcheng with a smile. "But I still want to ask you to listen to this friend's suggestion."

  "Him?" Kenderick's gaze finally rested on Qin Luo's face, but only for an instant. It quickly shifted to somewhere else.

  "What kind of advice can he offer? Manager Li, I've always thought that we should let professionals do what they're good at."

  "It doesn't matter if you listen," said Lian Qingcheng.

  Qin Luo didn't get angry because of others' disdain, he knew that in this world, if you can't show enough strength, you can only be a stepping stone for others to step on.

  The law of the jungle is survival of the fittest, regardless of good or evil, and no one can change it.

  "I think your Urban Beauty series design is not eye-catching enough. Or to put it another way..." Qin Luo paused for a moment before saying, "It conflicts with the product's concept."

  Being evaluated by Qin Luo like this, Jin Derui felt that his authority was being challenged. He said with a difficult expression: "Not enough to grab people's attention? What do you know? Are you the expert or am I the expert?"

  "Of course you're an expert. I don't even understand the principles of advertising studies. But experts can't represent everything." Qin Luo retorted, "You think from a professional perspective, but I'm standing from the audience's point of view to appreciate the pictures you took. Don't audiences have the right to speak? The ultimate audience for your work is the audience, not your university lecturers, right?"

  "Moreover, no one understands the special effects of Golden Collagen Powder better than me. If we position it in this way, it will only become another moisturizing cream or nourishing cream like others. This is not the unique effect that we want."

  "Unparalleled? You think being unparalleled is that easy to achieve? Since you have so many ideas, then find an unparalleled method and show it to me." Jin Derui opened a can of beer as his drink, saying coldly.

  Qin Luo smiled and said, "I think so. Since this Jinwa nourishing cream is a purely natural Chinese herbal beauty product, we should focus on that aspect. The background shouldn't be set in the city, but rather in a forest, preferably an ancient one with some age to it. Of course, finding such an ancient forest around Yanjing would be difficult, so using an old building where royalty used to live would also work."

  Qin Luo originally wanted to say that it's best to go to Yun Duan Mysterious Forest, where the photos taken are absolutely impressive.

  But thinking of the hardships on the way and the danger in the shooting process, he can only dispel this crazy idea.

  "Also, Jin Yun Yang Rou powder is made according to an ancient prescription, I think it would be more suitable for the model to wear traditional Han clothing or a cheongsam?"

  Jin Derui furrowed his brow and thought for a moment. He asked: "Wearing Hanfu to take pictures? Is this your creativity?"

  "Yes. We need to make some adjustments in terms of dress. Add some fashionable elements on top of the original elegance." Qin Luo thought for a moment and said, "Right. The queen. We want to find a queen-like feeling. We want an image of a high-and-mighty yet charming queen."

  Qin Luo said as he imagined such a scene in his mind.

  In a room with an antique flavor, a woman wearing a phoenix coronet and a Han Chinese dress is making up in front of a copper mirror. The bright light comes from the open window and shines on the hem of the woman's long skirt wrapped with golden threads.

  The whole person is like being inlaid with a layer of gold, elegant and noble, with a thousand charms.

  How beautiful!

  Deep down, Qin Luo is still a very traditional man. He loves some of the ancient cultures of China very much.

  For example, brush calligraphy, guqin, ancient Chinese women...

  "Your taste is really not to be complimented." Jin Derui said with disdain. "I still insist on my creativity. Urban beauties, your audience is them."

  Thus, branching occurs.

  Qin Luo turned his face to look at Li Jing City and asked: "Am I a major shareholder of Jing City International?"

  "Yes." Lian Qingcheng nodded.

  "Then let him do as I say." Qin Luo said. Grandma, this is really not giving face. Is there still someone who understands the characteristics of this product better than me?

  The feeling I want can only be given by myself.

  Lian Cheng rarely saw Qin Luo being so overbearing and firmly forcing others to execute his own ideas.

  She was delighted to see Qin Luo's change.

  "Director Jin, this is our major shareholder of Qincheng International. The big boss. Ha ha, what he says goes. We dare not disobey. Why don't we try it out in the direction he said?"

  Jin Derui was shocked and did not expect that this young man who didn't look impressive would be the big boss of Qingcheng International.

  However, the principles one insists on cannot be lost. Moreover, taking out such works would not be smashing one's own brand?

  Besides, you just said this idea is terrible, now you're going to take a shot at it? Where's your dignity?

  "I won't shoot this. This rotten idea, let others go and shoot it." Jin Derui refused to say.

  "You can refuse to shoot, but you can't say my idea is bad." Qin Luo said somewhat displeased. This was his brilliant inspiration after all. Even if you don't like it, don't belittle me in public.

  "You must take the shot." Lian Qingcheng said with a gloomy face. The charming and lovely smile on his face suddenly disappeared, as if he had changed into another person in an instant.

  Can't help but sigh, this woman's change of face is faster than flipping a book.

  "Jin Zong, we have a contract," Lei Qingcheng reminded him. "The contract clearly states that the shooting should be done according to the customer's intention. We are your customers, so you should shoot according to my intention."

  "I'll return the advance payment to you. I'm not going to film it." Jin Derui said with a cold smile.

  "I don't accept the return of the prepaid fee. The contract requires completion of the filming task within a month. If it can't be completed, I will have to compensate for ten times the liquidated damages as stipulated in the contract." Lian Qingcheng's brain was very good, and he remembered the internal records on the contract clearly.

  "You..." Jin Derui's forehead was covered in cold sweat. He only now realized that he had been trapped by this woman from the moment he signed the contract. All possibilities had been taken into account, and now it was impossible to resist.

  "And besides, my work takes priority. If you don't take pictures that satisfy me, I'll have someone come and bother you every day. For the next few months, you won't need to take on any other jobs either. Yes. I'm making myself very clear. That's a threat."

  Jinder's face was unpredictable. He couldn't have imagined that a sexy woman who had previously chatted with him, making people imagine non-existent things, would suddenly make people fear her like a snake or scorpion?

  Jin Derui sighed inwardly. These rich people are really hard to serve. When they're happy, they put you on a pedestal in the sky. You put on a cultural person's airs and throw small tantrums, and they all listen and obey.

  But once you've angered them, they immediately turn against you and treat you like a beast of burden. If you run even slightly slower, they'll whip you with a lash.

  "Take Miss Chen to change into Hanfu. We're going for an outdoor shoot." Jin Derui said gloomily to his assistant.

  When Jinder went to prepare the equipment for outdoor shooting, Qin Luo asked Lian Qingcheng in a low voice, "Will this have the opposite effect and make him slack off?"

  "He didn't dare to slack off, he could only work hard to finish the piece. Let's just be satisfied and not bother him again. Power comes from the barrel of a gun, and under high pressure, one can achieve results. Don't you understand this principle?" Lian Qincheng said confidently. This woman was a demon, with a grasp of human nature that was pure and flawless.

  However, after slapping someone in the face, you should also give him a piece of candy. Otherwise, he will remember to hate you. Li Qingcheng said with a smile. I'll have someone send him a little gift later. If he's smart, he should understand my meaning.

  "How terrifying." Qin Luo said with a wry smile. Compared to this woman, his own life experience was indeed too shallow.

  "Are you saying I'm terrifying?" Lian Qingcheng glared at Qin Luo and asked.

  "I'm referring to the terror of human hearts." Qin Luo replied. What's so terrifying about humans? But human hearts are sinister.

  "If we can't make people love us, then let's try to make them fear us. Those who love you won't hurt you. Those who fear you won't dare to hurt you." Lian Qingcheng said in a low and mysterious tone.

  One must experience a setback in order to gain wisdom. To cultivate into an old demon like her who is immune to all poisons, the difficulties she has experienced are far more than just 99 tribulations.

  No one is born evil. No one is born to abandon goodness. When a person is just born, their mind is like a blank sheet of paper. In the course of growing up and living, whatever color life stains on that piece of paper, that's what their life will be.

  "What do you think of my idea?" Qin Luo asked.

  "You're asking me now? You've already made up your mind anyway. Whether you lose or gain, it's all your own business." Li Qiancheng said with a smile.

  "Right. Little brother, are you a queen fan?"

  "It's fine." Qin Luo hypocritically replied.

  "Hmm. Next time I'll wear a queen's outfit for you to see." Li Jing Cheng whispered in Qin Luo's ear.

  "Queen's attire?"

  "Not that kind. The one with leather jacket and skirt, fishnet stockings, wearing a pirate hat and holding a whip - you must have seen it before?"

  "No." Qin Luo shook his head.

  He immediately conjured up an image of Lian Qingshan wearing a tight leather jacket, revealing her plump and round breasts like soccer balls. The sexy leather skirt barely covered her buttocks, exposing black or white underwear underneath. Long stockings that reached the crotch, long hair scattered over her shoulders, and a pirate hat slanted on her head - holding a whip in hand, she pointed at herself and said: From today on, you are my slave.

  Qin Luo thought about it and felt an urge to have a nosebleed.
