Chapter 282: Chapter 282: One Strike Pass

“Three, two, one… click!”

The moment the shutter sounded, Ye Xian looked up.

In front of the camera, even the director’s heart trembled upon meeting her gaze.

The beautiful young vampire had captured a wing-broken angel, a cunning triumph and rebellious charm interwoven in her gaze, burning through her fiery red eyes as though it could set the person in front of the lens ablaze.

That look of hers was just too powerful.

So powerful that it completely overshadowed Mo Qianying’s presence, leaving one to see nothing but the young, handsome, and deviously proud vampire; one could almost read the arrogant words in her eyes: “Be the most ruthless vampire, drink the noblest blood.”

The charm of photography lies in the fact that sometimes, a static image can express a person’s emotions better than a moving video, or extensive text.

Because it captures the most intense emotions in a single moment.

Director Wu slowly took off the camera, looked at the incredibly stunning photo in the viewfinder, and his heart thudded for a long time before he could utter, “Perfect! Absolutely perfect!”

Mo Qianying had worked with Director Wu a few times, but it was the first time she saw him praise a photo so much. She was about to go have a look but was stopped by Ye Xian, “Let’s finish the next photo and look at them together.”

“Okay.”

The two quickly posed for the second photo.

Director Wu initially had modest expectations for Ye Xian, thinking if she didn’t hold them back, it would be enough; unexpectedly, she gave him a tremendous surprise, prompting him to hurriedly lift the camera for the second shot.

The second photo was of the vampire buried in the angel’s neck.

In this one, the vampire’s eyes weren’t visible, and Director Wu thought he couldn’t capture the same spectacular moment as the first shot; however, as he pressed the shutter, Ye Xian’s mouth curved slightly, sketching a breath-taking smile on her exquisitely beautiful profile.

This smile, vastly different from the vampire’s previous ferocious ambition, was childlike longing and genuine affection, as if saying, “Angel sister is the best, I can’t bear to bite you.”

This smile was like the finishing touch; it was damn amazing!

What a treasure of a boy Ye Xian is, how could he be so spirited, with such powerful expressiveness! No wonder his popularity has surged recently!

Director Wu was so excited he almost swore, “Good, good, good! Especially good, especially good, a perfect shot in one try!”

A perfect shot in one try?

Mo Qianying was surprised, disbelieving as she walked over to look at the camera in Director Wu’s hands.

What she hadn’t expected was that the artistic conception of these two images was so beautiful, so full of feel.

Especially Ye Xian’s eyes and smile, which were incredibly lifelike. He had only read the script for a few minutes, yet he managed to convey two entirely different vampire emotions?

Charming yet childish.

Arrogant yet adorable.

Mo Qianying was astounded.

Her impression of Ye Xian completely changed.

At first, she thought he was just a young, handsome lad, a refreshing contrast to Meng Jin; but now it seemed…

Meng Jin simply wasn’t in the same league as him.

Ye Xian may appear to be just a minor boy band idol, but the potential and energy he harbored within were immense; his qualities and expressiveness were not of the common run.

“Ye Xian, your performance was fantastic, absolutely perfect, beyond my expectations!”

Director Wu praised Ye Xian uncontrollably; he took the camera and casually flipped through the photos. It had been a long time since his last shoot, and he hadn’t expected the results to be quite this good…

“Thank you for the compliments, director. Shall we continue to shoot, then?”

“Shoot! Of course, we shoot! How about we take a few solo shots next, to be given as autographed photos as a bonus for the fans?”

Originally, their task for today was just to shoot the June cover of “FRONT,” but Director Wu thought Ye Xian and Mo Qianying’s styling was too appealing, and their expressiveness too strong. He could almost foresee the popularity of this issue of the magazine. A promotion where buying the magazine includes a signed photo of the stars would undoubtedly cause a frenzy.

“Okay.”
