Chapter 200 The stylist opened his black suitcase, which had folded shelves .
What? What are you talking about? This is Japanese! Not Chinese! Japan used to have the most advanced fashion industry among all Asian countries . Their fashion magazines held a great share in Asia . The strict chief editor was pursuing perfectness in all aspects . Qin Guan had the impulse to give her a thumbs-up . VOGUE had hired a male model for its first issue in China . It was a bold idea that ELLE dared not copy . To meet the demands of their readers, most of whom were women, the covers of fashion magazines were mainly occupied by female models or actresses . Through their elegant style, professional, matching clothes and aesthetic shooting methods, their readers could experience the effect of top fashion magazines . That was why clothing, bag and watch advertisements in magazines could promote sales . They were trend leaders, who could guide readers into pursuing a more fashionable style .
Therefore, a cover with a male model did not match ELLE’s conservatism . Qin Guan knew that he would have to take only one picture for the cover . After a series of fussy steps though, he was shocked . The lenses were good, but the frames were bad . The chief editor of VOGUE had to be the most insane person in the industry . This was not a man-oriented magazine, and the sales volume of the first issue would be enough to decide the fate of the chief editor and the whole continent . The photographer was an American who had been sent in advance to make arrangements with the chief editor, and the prop master was French and filled with romantic ideas . The cover would be a black-and-white picture, far different from the colorful covers of other magazines . Thus, the chief editor had set high standards for the photo, which had made the photographer and prop master quite nervous . Tens of magazines would appear in newsstands and bookstores during the same period .
The magazines would be arranged in one line on the same shelf . The order was decided by the retailers according to their experience . The nearer to the readers though, the better it was . How could one publish the most striking magazine and attract readers at first glance? Extreme beauty was required! France was called the fashion capital of the world for a reason . Their keenness and pursuit of beauty was too far ahead from other nations . Qu's brave effort was not just about shooting a black-and-white cover, but also taking a close shot of Qin Guan's face . It was a testament to photography as well as the model itself .
The prop master was prepared . He gave Qin Guan an elegant mask weaved with ancient mooring ropes . Lotuses were blooming on it, and there was a sense of harmonious conflict to it . The mask covered Qin Guan's cheekbones, but exposed his beautiful eyes . His eyelids flapped down naturally, his long eyelashes covering his clear black pupils . His eyes looked really mysterious . He lifted his jaw to expose his Adam's apple . His thin lips would tempt anyone to commit a crime . It was a photo of high taste, quite different from the superstars of famous brands . The audience would admire Qin Guan’s god-like beauty . Qin Guan held the mask up for more than ten minutes, keeping his body still . After countless small adjustments, the final version came out . It had a literary, reminiscent style to it . Qin Guan went to the dressing room with a stiff neck . The excited assistant put the photos on Qu's desk as soon as they were ready . The receptionist was sitting outside the chief editor's suite . Qu had assigned her to be her second secretary, so she was in charge of everything concerning Asian models . It was like a god-sent gift!! She was really glad, not just because of the salary and position, but also because this was the job of her dreams . From then on, she could file all the paperwork of famous models and hand in the final data . Her dream had come true . The chief editor looked at the pictures and finally pointed at one of them . "Tell the publishing group that this will be the cover of our first issue . " Her assistant nodded silently and sent out the picture . The brave decision had come to a temporary close . They could only wait for the day of the release now . Qin Guan went out of the fitting room and was hugged by the crew . They had been working in the industry for many years, yet they’d unexpectedly found a shining gem in a mysterious country .
