To keep the best for the finale, Bonnie made Ivana and Zhou Yun Sheng shoot last. This was also to prevent the boss form losing his patience and quitting after finishing Kitten's shoot. If he hadn't been lured in by Kitten, he absolutely wouldn't want to take pictures of people.
Whether it was the male or female players, they all had very awkward performances, one had to act feminine, one had to act masculine, but they had to use their body language to express it, so there was a lot of hilarious results. Bonnie and Jeffrey had completely forgotten that they were supposed to be guiding them, they were too busy holding their bellies and laughing.
When it was Emily's turn, she knew that if she didn't fight, she would soon be eliminated. Her net score was up against Romeo, it would no doubt fall to the lowest valley. So when she went up for her photo shoot, her pace was heroic and really masculine. Her look was also very unique, she had an eyepatch, glued on handle bar moustache, and handsome pirate clothes.
She had one foot up on the stool, while the male player was kneeling on her side, his hands posed in prayer, his jaw pinched and lifted up by her. Their appearance was not perfect, one could easily see who was the man and the woman, but the act was very funny. Anyone who saw this picture couldn't help but laugh.
Gustav took a quick look at the photos and didn't give an evaluation, but Bonnie and Jeffery were full of praise. So far, Emily's group was the most natural.
Finally, the ones they had all been waiting for went up. The players who had finished their shoots gathered around to cheer for the two. Now, Ivana was the recognized male god by the female contestants, and Romeo was the recognized goddess by the male contestants, this pair finally found their position.
Emily's grim gaze lingered on Romeo's delicate face for a moment, then moved away. She always knew that Romeo's appearance was very outstanding, in all the contestants, he could be ranked in the top, but she didn't expect him to be outstanding to this extent. No matter how strange his dress, he could easily control it, so nothing felt off. The model industry was most in need of this kind of talent.
How will the audience react when they see such a Romeo? She didn't want to think about it.
"Baby, go stand in the middle." Gustav smiled and opened.
Ivana reflexively pushed Romeo toward the middle. Gustav's eyes were glued to Romeo, she would never think that this 'baby' was referring to herself.
The lights hung over the boy's porcelain-white skin, making him look like a gem. Gustav looked a moment, then made Kitten adjust his position several times before starting the shooting, as for whether Ivana had enough lighting, as long as it doesn't affect the photo shoot, it was completely not within his considerations. His line of sight could only accommodate one person.
"Try and sit down. No, no Ivana you don't have to hug Kitten, stay in your own position, the photo will have an elegant sense of melancholy alienation. I like that a lot." He shot as he guided.
Bonnie curled her lip: Boss, don't make excuses for your stinginess. You just don't want to see Ivana be too intimate with Kitten, right? Even if it's just posing.
"Yes, that's it, hold on. Baby, look at me, gentler and deeper, like I'm your favorite person." His guidance was as gentle as words of love. Everyone thought it was the normal way a photographer acted when he found his inspiration, but actually, it was his true feelings. When the teenager stared at him with loving eyes, his soul trembled.
"Baby, smile at me." His voice was getting rougher, it was because he was thirsty. He was being seduced until even his mouth dried from all his sweating, but he didn't want to stop. It was a sweet torment.
Zhou Yun Sheng slightly smiled at the camera, his keen ear noticing the man's heavy breathing.
"Yes, that's right. Wonderful, baby you're an angel on earth, baby, you're excellent!" He warmly praised his sweetheart, the foolish personality hidden in such an elegant package stunned Bonnie. When she first witnessed Acheson during his photography, he was very quiet, like a cold passer-by, revealing a sense of alienation, as if he was a foreigner in the world. She'd thought Acheson's blood must be very cold, she didn't know he could boil up this crazily.
This scene needs to be commemorated! She lifted her phone to record, and after a few minutes, she cruelly reminded, "Mr. Acheson, you only have one shot left, you should stop and let them think about a better pose."
"….Only one left?" Gustav frowned and looked at the camera's screen to see that he had already taken 29 photos, time flied really fast. How could 29 be a lot? Even 2.9 billion isn't enough ah! He pushed back his hair, his expression was not affected, but his heart was very irritable.
It wasn't easy to get an opportunity to be close to Kitten, and he wasted it. Shit!
Seeing Kitten and Ivana discussing their pose, he walked over, sat in the regal chair and said, "You can do this. Baby come, lie on my lap."
It wasn't unusual for the photographer or the judges to guide the players on how they could pose, but it was the first time for the aloof Mr. Acheson to do it. The contestants were a little surprised, but they soon understood his feelings. Romeo was so beautiful today, to use Jeffrey's words, he was a beautiful comic book character.
Gustav was a photographer, everyone knew, photographers looked for the beautiful things in life. In order to shoot their perfect scene, they could wait hours, just so they could capture the most touching moment. His passion for female Romeo was not surprising, it was human.
Even the usually unfriendly to Romeo male players, after this conversion, could no longer be hostile to him. Because, just the sight of his face would remind them of the incarnation of their goddess.
Zhou Yun Sheng only hesitated for a second before walking over, lying over Gustav's stacked long legs. He'd sprinkled on some cologne, the smell was very pleasant.
Every time he had the opportunity to meet his Kitten, Gustav would stay in his dressing room for two hours, checking every button, every piece must be perfect, even his socks looked elegant and extraordinary.
At this moment, Kitten was lying on his lap, the heat from his cheeks traveled through the fabric to his skin, so he almost groaned in excitement. He nervously checked his lower body, found that there was no sign, and was quietly relieved. Then he looked at Kitten's profile.
He really wanted to hold his head like this and print countless kisses on his delicate little cheeks! As he fantasized, he naturally brushed his five fingers into Kitten's hair, gently caressing. The two were soothing, snuggling, the pose was extremely touching.
"Oh my God, this feels like real interdependence, too much love!" A female player covered her melting heart.
The others nodded and echoed her sentiments.
Ivana understood his guidance and felt that this pose was great. At least it was more romantic than the one she and Romeo had thought of before.
"I see, thank you, Mr. Acheson."
"Don't thank me, this is our final shot after all, it has to be perfect." Gustav reluctantly released Kitten and went back to the photographer's position. He subtlety mimicked the motion of twisting his hand into Kitten's hair, the silky texture seemed to be glued to his skin. He even wanted to bring his hand to his nose and sniff, to find out what brand of shampoo Kitten used, to figure out why it smelled so refreshing.
Zhou Yun Sheng didn't wear a wig because the Virgo [Virgos are picky/perfectionists] stylist despised unnatural wigs, plus it would affect the perfect shape of his head. So, he'd just given him a few layers of hair extensions, after the photo shoot, it could be directly removed.
So, when Acheson had caressed his scalp, he could clearly perceive it. The man seemed to be more and more intent on pursuing him, but he was uncertain whether it would be good or bad to let things continue this way.
This worry lasted only a second before he casually pushed it to the back of his brain. Ivana sat down and replaced Gustav's position. They quickly entered the photo shoot state.
"Baby, move back a little bit and look at my camera. Yes, that's right. Baby, your big blue eyes, if you can moisten them a bit, let me see longing in your eyes….OK, hold it!" Gustav focused his lens for a moment before pressing the shutter, then he walked over to embrace the teenager.
"Baby, you did great, I love you!" His tone was hoarse, his devotedness was leaking through.
Zhou Yun Sheng didn't lack for crazy admirers, but before the end of the game, he didn't want to stir up any trouble, so he smiled in thanks, treating it as a common compliment. Westerners always have 'I love you' on the tip of their tongue, saying it so often would eventually numb people.
Gustav was disappointed with his reaction, but in order to not affect his game mood, he simply hugged him again, then went to Bonnie and Jeffrey's side to observe all the photos that were taken today.
The contestants raced into the changing cubicles to remove their clothes- they'd had enough torture for today.
Ivana ran to her 'girlfriend's' side, glanced at Mr. Acheson, then put up two thumbs and slowly snuggled them together, making a vague loving action. John was behind them and their collar had a microphone, so they couldn't talk nonsense until they had privacy.
Zhou Yun Sheng immediately waved his hand to deny.
Ivana refused to believe that. She saw Mr. Acheson looking over, the tenderness and love in his eyes was so obvious. If he doesn't love Romeo, why would his eyes only focus on Romeo? No one knew how awkward she felt during the filming, Mr. Acheson hadn't paid any attention to what she was doing, he didn't guide her poses, he just filmed Romeo's most beautiful side.
He calls him baby, but the words didn't have the slightest casual or careless sense, nor was it to ease the atmosphere and deliberately create a sense of intimacy. He really regarded him as a unique treasure.
[Treasure – baby and treasure are the same characters. Sometimes, when reading with MTL, you might see the bad guy demand a baby. He's not demanding a little human, he's demanding treasure.]
Ivana didn't feel any jealously, she was just proud of her own intuition. Mr. Acheson was absolutely in love with Romeo, and she dared to bet all her possessions on it.
[T/N: I now know the Chinese characters for 'rage comic'. And oh God, not that "westerners hug and say I love you to everyone" thing again.]
