About ten minutes later, Zhi Yao finally finished changing and emerged from the dressing room.
She was wearing another black gown, though this one was much more conservative than the previous one.
The sheer black fabric barely covered Zhi Yao's soft calf curves, adding a touch of elegance and mystery to her appearance. She looked truly stunning and radiant.
Everyone was momentarily stunned when they saw Zhi Yao walk out.
The moment the person in charge saw Zhi Yao, he couldn't help but take out his phone and start frantically snapping photos of the young lady.
She looked just... too beautiful! He was so glad he had made the decision to replace He Kaiting!
Perfect! It was absolutely perfect!
She was the perfect walking embodiment of this perfume!
Just looking at Zhi Yao like this, one could imagine how alluring the scent on her would be...
"Quickly, quickly, touch up her makeup," he urged.
Zhi Yao was bewilderedly pushed over to have her makeup retouched. Meanwhile, Pei Chiyao was examining the shooting plan.
However, the more he looked at it, the deeper his frown became.
Seeing this, the person in charge nervously asked, "God Yao, is there a problem with the shooting plan?"
Problem?
There was a big problem.
The advertisements Zhi Yao usually did were quite... wholesome?
Perhaps because Older Brother Sun knew he was rather possessive and didn't want others to see Zhi Yao's overly sexy side, she had only taken on advertisements for snacks, beverages, and the like. These types of ads were simple to shoot and required modest clothing.
Perfume ads, on the other hand, focused more on creating an atmosphere. Especially for high-end perfumes, they needed to convey a feeling to the audience and consumers through visuals, allowing them to imagine the scent of the perfume just by looking at the image.
Therefore, the clothing, makeup, and setting were all crucial.
The perfume Zhi Yao was to shoot today had several key descriptors - "noble, mysterious, sexy."
Although these words didn't quite match Zhi Yao's usual image, her adaptability was strong, as the fashion industry could easily see.
Especially her uniquely golden eyes, which complemented the golden bottle of the perfume perfectly. This was why the brand's director had chosen Zhi Yao at first glance.
The more Pei Chiyao looked at the plan, the more he felt as if a bottle of vinegar had been overturned in his heart.
He put down the plan and turned to the person in charge, saying, "Don't you think this plan is very unsuitable for her? If I'm not mistaken, you probably tailored this plan to He Kaiting's characteristics, right?"
His words were entirely accurate.
The person in charge looked a bit embarrassed. "Well... we were pressed for time. We didn't have a chance to modify the plan."
Pei Chiyao curved his lips slightly. "We don't need this plan anymore. We'll shoot according to what I say."
The person in charge was stunned.
Before he could react to the meaning of Pei Chiyao's words, that male voice spoke again, "If you don't mind, I can shoot together with Yao Yao."
What... what?!
Pei Chiyao shooting together?
The person in charge was nearly driven to ecstasy by Pei Chiyao's words!
Heavens, that was the entertainment industry's top star, God Yao! It was well known that Pei Chiyao had never endorsed any products, but his ability to drive sales was undisputed throughout the entire entertainment industry.
Once, in a candid airport photo of Pei Chiyao holding a bottle of a certain brand of mineral water, that image had been released for just an hour before that brand's mineral water sold out completely.
Since then, whenever anything around Pei Chiyao - be it on his person or in his hands - bore a brand name, that brand's products would definitely sell out.
This was Pei Chiyao's sales influence.
So when the person in charge heard that Pei Chiyao wanted to shoot together, he almost thought he was dreaming...
He was speechless for a long time. Pei Chiyao glanced at him, and he finally came to his senses and said, "Of course, of course we can!"
"Don't you need to consult your superiors?"
"No need!" He rejected the idea outright.
Indeed, there was no need! His superiors would be overjoyed if they heard about this. This kind of opportunity required no consultation at all.
"God Yao, if you have any other requests, please tell us now. We'll do our best to accommodate you." The person in charge was so excited he could barely contain himself.
Pei Chiyao pondered for three seconds before making a few more requests.
...
Half an hour later, the shoot began right on schedule.
Zhi Yao looked bewilderedly at Pei Chiyao standing with her in front of the camera and couldn't help but ask, "You... why are you here? Go away, I'm about to start working."
She was about to start making money! This annoying man shouldn't interfere with her money-making.
As the saying goes... with no man in your heart, you can wield your sword like a god! Right now, making money was the top priority in her heart.
But to Zhi Yao's surprise, Pei Chiyao suddenly leaned down, drawing close to her.
In an instant, their breaths intermingled. His lips were only a knuckle's width from hers, so close that every hair on Zhi Yao's body stood on end.
"Pei Chiyao, you..."
"Shh..."
He placed his index finger on Zhi Yao's lips. "Don't speak, baby."
His body shielded Zhi Yao completely, but the way he looked at her was particularly tender and affectionate. Especially from the photographer's angle, it looked more like... Pei Chiyao was worshipping the woman before him.
There was a sense of... a lofty flower being pulled down from its altar.
Pei Chiyao whispered in Zhi Yao's ear, guiding her, "Make your gaze a bit colder, lift your chin a little more. Yes, just like that. Good girl, you're doing great."
Throughout the entire process, the photographer barely had to say a word.
Pei Chiyao seemed as if he was born for the camera. With just a few words, he led Zhi Yao into the perfect state, guiding the young lady by hand to capture several groups of highly narrative photographs.
The onlookers, seeing the finished photos, couldn't help but exclaim how skillful Pei Chiyao was.
Only Older Brother Sun saw through Pei Chiyao's little scheme at a glance.
Bah! This pervert wasn't being kind-hearted or wanting to shoot an advertisement at all. He simply... simply didn't want others to see Zhi Yao, to covet Zhi Yao!
Hadn't he noticed that not a bit of Zhi Yao's skin was exposed? Except for her face, everything else was completely covered by Pei Chiyao.
Ugh! That cunning old man!
About an hour later, they wrapped up filming. Now all that was left was to wait for the editing.
Zhi Yao leaned in to take a look at the screen. After watching, the young girl couldn't help but express her disappointment: "Why is it only showing my face? My legs are so beautiful, aren't you going to film them at all?"
She had always known her figure was great! And since it was great, it should be shown off, displayed for others to see!
As soon as she finished speaking, a cold laugh came from behind Zhi Yao. The young girl immediately sensed trouble brewing.
