"hahaha... I found this young man in a shoot around a week ago!", Senior Su responded with gusto, his meaning clear, he had found another gem!
Everyone was taken aback because Senior Su had very high standard even if he allowed new faces, but looking at this man... the old man was still good at his job!
YuTang finally got a chance and directly bowed, " I'm grateful for this chance, Senior Su... I'll give my best today...", it was simple, but contrary to unnecessary flattery these few heartfelt words were much better.... everyone present had an approving look.
YuTang then turned to the other photographers and bowed again, " I will give my best to not hinder the progress...", he did lower his value a bit, but that came out due to his habit of submitting to others throughout this past year, but his eyes spoke another story and were twinkling with passion.
Senior Su frowned at his words, but he couldn't say anything because he was partially aware of him being blocked... but when he looked at his eyes that held an unusual light, very different from the slightly dim eyes the last time he saw him, he spoke, " Something good happened...?"
YuTang was slightly taken aback, but didn't hide it, well, it was a photographer's nature to get the subtle hints from their subject and they were very sensitive to the air around others, considering this man was a veteran it wasn't unusual for him to feel a change, he replied with a blinding smile, "Yes!", after this, he took a step back and bowed again before leaving... he would not like to hinder them.
Just after he left, "What's his name?", the same question came out in unison from all present including the veteran actress, who has been silent...
They all had the same thought, '... if luck favoured him a little and he got a chance, this man was going a long way up!'
.....
ChunHua who was enjoying some free time after three consecutive meetings by going through her album with thousands of YuTang's candid and sneak shots: Achiu~!
She cutely sneezed, ' is someone talking about me... hah~ being born with this face, fame and money is a sin.. ah~!'
...
Anyway, just the fact that he hadn't introduced himself to them, spoke tonnes about his high EQ... he was humble and at the same time, his pride didn't let him speak of something he wasn't asked... more times than not, young people become over-enthusiastic and try to break into the conversation of others to get attention and to these old veterans, it wasn't always pleasant.
Contrary to those starlets, this man had simply stood there and waited till someone noticed them and his only reason to come here was to probably show his gratitude, in the same line, he faced these huge names and had to greet them... but everything he did was just right!
Introducing himself would have been a great choice, considering these people had some good feelings about him after they knew that he was recruited by Senior Su, but him not doing it, in contrast, had a better effect...
As for YuTang himself, he just had the thought that he was not at the stage to introduce himself, but he will get into that position where people take time to find more about him!
....
The shoot commenced on time and some of them were outdoor shots with the night sky over an artificial lake as the backdrop... It was a little around 18:30.
Outdoor shoots were a bit tricky and if you add another condition like the 'night sky with the lake reflecting the moon' to it, they had to be critically fast... they were fighting against time here, the area made it such that, they could only shoot a single person at a time so, everyone who among this group was walking on a thin rope...
YuTang happened to be in this group of 10... well, he was not famous and these pics will have more shadows and they just needed a cloth hanger-of sort. The old man may be influential, but in the end, these magazines needed more of a 'star' effect than a 'nobody' like him, to be here was already a great achievement for a newbie at his level of exposure and this was the salty truth, not that he cared... he was here for a job and he will do just that...
His turn was around the middle, but as said before, this shoot was tricky and the ones in this group were fairly an amateur bunch, the photographer gave some advice at first, but with the time flowing away and the things not going his way... he was in a bad mood and was throwing expletives...
By the time, it was YuTang's turn, he was the 8th on line by the way... well, he had doned on a unisex fiery red shirt with three top buttons undone showing the pale and sturdy expanse of his beautiful skin even in this dim light condition, the material itself was on the shiny side as a thin slit ran all the way from the top of his shoulder joint to the cuff-links of his shirt, his body was in very good condition with emacuately tight muscles so, as he moved and the cold air from the lake flew by, one could see a glimpse of his perfect arms inside that shirt... even in this cold weather, he was asked to damp his hair so that they could shoot a dripping effect and he has asked to constantly wet them till it was time for his suit... his satiny black hair now held the water droplets and under the moonligh, it was as if, someone was put pearls on them... his pants which were of a darker shade were tight enough to show the beauty of his trained muscles, as for the shoes... he didn't have any of them...
Well, this was kind of absurd, no matter how godly he looked, the condition was harsh... but somebody had to do it and he was chosen as the scapegoat for this particular shoot because he was the youngest among that group and didn't have any weight to throw around and because he was near the end, the photographer was already blowing some fuse and got extremely irritated when YuTang sneezed because of the cold air...
