Chapter 58: Little Angel (1/2)
They stayed there with Grandpa Tang until 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and Xia Ye took Tang Jinyu to visit Chen Suling workplace.
Chen Suling hasn't finished shooting yet. After a busy day, the whole group was filled with anxiety. The models and staff were standing opposite from each other, and they were sitting there taking a break while looking at the photos.
The weather was very hot today, and the company bought two boxes of cold drinks and kept them there. Even Chen Suling drank two bottles of iced mineral water to relieve herself from the heat.
At the beginning of the year, various companies have not yet been perfected, and the clothing industry is just in its infancy. There might be a model company, but they didn’t have a specific photography team. Generally, a company would have several photographers. After all, unlike ordinary photography, since they pay more attention to the clothing.
When Xia Ye walked over while holding Tang Jinyu's small hand, Chen Suling was sitting there looking at the cameras in the two photographers' hands. Her eyebrows were furrowed slightly, and was not very satisfied with the photos. ”This group, do it again.”
The photographer nodded, and got to work.
Another photographer asked: ”Mrs. Chen, we still need a female model here…”
Chen Suling said: ”Aren't they all there?”
The photographer didn’t know what to say, he looked up at the secretary. The secretary walked over, and said: ”These were the two female models that went on strike in the morning, and I told them to go back.”
Chen Suling nodded and said: ”Then let them go back. You call the modeling agency and find two more. We are in a hurry, I’ll double the cost, make sure they are here to shoot before tonight.”
Tang Jinyu ran over and hugged her arm and called to her mother. The sudden appearance of the child surprised Chen Suling. She hugged him and laughed: ”Why are you here? Mom was just about to call you, and say to wait for me in the evening, so when I finish work today, we can go and have dinner together.”
Tang Jinyu hugged her and looked at the professional camera that was in front of him curiously.
This photographer has taken Tang Jinyu photos before when he was at the company. He naturally knew that this was Mrs. Chen's youngest son. They had never heard of Xia Ye before, but they still greeted him with a smile.
There was a staff member who hadn't seen Xia Ye before, so Chen Suling got up while onto holding Tang Jinyu, and introduced them to them, and said with a smile: ”This is my youngest son and that is his eldest son, how about it? He looks good, right?”
The staff around saw that the boss finally showed a smile today, and they all relaxed a little, and laughed and praised them. Some said Tang Jinyu was cute, and some people praised Xia Ye good looks. The photographer was one of them and looked at Xia Yecarefully, and boasted sincerely: ”This young man is really good, tall and well proportioned. From now on, Mrs. Chen will no longer have to worry about not being able to find a model anymore. You have such a good looking guy by your side!”
Chen Suling laughed, ”He is still a student, so let him study first.”
The secretary came back soon, and whispered a few words in Chen Suling's ear. The people around didn't hear it, but Tang Jinyu was held in her arms, and heard some of it: ”Mom, who's not coming?”
Chen Suling said to the secretary: ”You don't need to be polite to them, just say it, this model agency is so untrustworthy, and deliberately taking their time sending new models over, we no longer will cooperate with them in the future.”
At the end of the day, they originally changed from their previous model company to a new one, but the second company had more male models than female models, and it just happened to be in time for the new shooting season. During the peak period of clothes, they ran into several clothing companies, and almost everyone wanted to grab it. It is precisely because of this that this model company was so bold, and doesn’t put their small clothing company in their eyes.
Chen Suling had done OEM for other companies before, and has changed the style of clothes on the spot, and changed all the other clothing just so they matched, but the profit here lies in the brand value.
Some large companies don't even have their own production lines, but are just responsible for coming to her for ‘purchase’.
This is also the reason why she insists on finding the best model to make the best commercial film this time. No matter what, she wanted to try to shape the brand and make it famous.
Most model companies cooperate with several companies at the same time, and Chen Suling didn’t think much of it after switching to this new model company, but now for the sake of the time of this matter. Chen Suling and along with some of her staff believes that someone is doing this on purpose, but some think otherwise.
Chen Suling led the team and insisted on finishing the filming, and couldn’t go out to eat while everyone was still working. They double the payment for the remaining models, and try to get the photographer to use the last of the remaining light from outside for the film. If it was night, she would have taken this shooting indoors, but now she could only work hard with what she had.
Xia Ye hugged Tang Jinyu and stayed there eating a lunch box, Chen Suling only ate two bites in a hurry, and was soon back at work.
Xia Ye was originally worried about the little guy being a picky eater, but when he scooped up some fried rice, the little guy stood in front of him with his mouth wide open and waited to be fed. Being fed a mouthful of food was delicious for Tang Jinyu, and he didn't lose his temper because of the harsh environment. After eating, he picked up a newspaper and made it into a small frog, and showed it to Xia Ye. Xia Ye also found a piece of paper and folded a small paper fan for him.
The little guy's forehead was slightly wet with sweat, with some of his hair sticking to his forehead, but that didn’t seem to stop him from playing. As long as he is around his loved one, he will always be happy.
The secretary came over and asked, ”Why don't you wait in the car first? There is air-conditioning over there, and it will be cooler.”
Tang Jinyu gave her the small folding fan that he learned to make, and his eyes curved and said: ”My brother and I are here to accompany my mother, sister, here’s a fan, fan it and you will cool off!”
The secretary also laughed and said, ”Okay, thank you Xiaoyu.”
Xia Ye asked in a low voice, ”Is it troublesome, how long will Aunt Chen have to be busy?”
The secretary sighed and said: ”Mrs. Chen doesn’t have it easy right now, I’ve been here for the whole day, and those people… forget it, we are trying our best, I just hope that we can finish this tonight.”
Tang Jinyu said: ”It's definitely possible!”
The secretary teased him, ”What do you know?”
The child resolutely said: ”Mom said, I have to wait for her so that we can have dinner together, so it will definitely take just a couple more pictures.”
Xia Ye was taken aback, glanced at the box lunch next to him, and asked, ”Xiaoyu, what did you eat just now?”
The child lowered his head, and continued to play origami, ”Snack, mom let me have a snack first, I’ll wait for her.”
Xia Ye: ”…”
No wonder Aunt Chen left after eating two bites, and the little guy didn’t even tell him. He used his meal as a snack, but he didn’t bother to tell the little guy this. He decided that it would be good to order a pineapple bun for him in the evening.
In the evening, Chen Suling's luck suddenly improved, just in time for a large red sunset. The photographer was very experienced and immediately urged the model to change clothes in a hurry to grab the shot. Such good natural lighting, and dark lighting are rare, just in line with their new season's clothes.
The other photos were all easy to take, but at the end there is a set of men's and women's couple's cotton clothes, but they only had one male model left.
The photographer was so anxious that his forehead became sweaty, and when he went back and forth to find someone, he immediately turned his sights on Xia Ye, who was carrying a child.
He ran over to Ding Yanzhao, the person in charge, but Xiaoding was also very busy. Xiaoding had been with Chen Suling for many years. Although Xiaoding had worked hard to create all of the men’s clothing department. He was an old man in the company, so he immediately went to ask Chen Suling for help.
Chen Suling was surprised and said: ”Xia Ye? He can't, he’s still a child. I’ve never photographed someone of his age before.”
