Bab 39: Design Shoot (3)
As Xu Anyi was about to grab onto the white dress, Xia Yiwei suddenly grabbed onto her arm, stopping her, "No. I want the white dress."
Xu Anyi and the worker both turned to look at Xia Yiwei, who grabbed onto the white dress with her other arm and smiled fakely, "That's okay, right?"
The worker looked between the two models and pressed her lips together, "Well. . ."
Xu Anyi looked at the black dress and then looked at the worker, who looked very troubled. She smiled and took the black dress, looking at the worker, "It's okay. I can wear the black dress."
Hearing this, Xia Yiwei smiled as she turned around and walked behind the divider to change.
Anyone who had eyes could tell that the white dress was much more eye-catching! Why would she wear a black dress in a spring set shoot?
She needed to stand out in this shoot and beat Xu Anyi, and the manager had told her that they were going for an innocent feeling in this shoot. A white dress would be best for that, so of course she couldn't let Xu Anyi take that advantage!
After changing, she stepped out and Xu Anyi walked in to change, and as they walked past each other, Xia Yiwei smirked triumphantly as she flipped her hair and walked out of the room.
Xu Anyi ignored her and began changing. As she put on the black dress, a small grin appeared on her face.

A few minutes later, the shoot was beginning as the two of them stood in front of the camera.
All the workers came around to watch the shoot and Eric quickly explained the idea and feeling behind the shoot before they began.
Eager to show herself, Xia Yiwei immediately began moving around, twirling around in the white dress with a bright smile on her face.
As the workers watched from the side, a few exclaimed how beautiful and innocent she looked in the white dress. She was perfect for this shoot!
On the other hand, Xu Anyi stood there, not moving for a while, closing her eyes to get into the scene right away. When she reopened her eyes, she looked lost as she looked straight into the camera, tilting her head slightly.
She stretched one leg out and the short dress that ended at her thighs made her legs appear even longer. The dress hugged her body perfectly, and it brought out her own curves, but Xu Anyi moved in a way that brought everyone's attention to the dress itself.
In the beginning, Eric frowned as he watched Xia Yiwei twirl around, and he was just about to open his mouth to scold her when his attention was drawn to Xu Anyi, who did not move much but had the ability to draw your eyes onto her.
His lips turned up into a smile as he exclaimed, "Perfect! Yes, keep it up. This is exactly the feeling I want!"
Xia Yiwei smiled as she thought that photographer was talking about her and she used her hands to lift the sides of her long dress up, looking like a little girl in the plain. She indeed brought out the innocence aspect of the shoot very well.
However, it was too simple and when comparing it to Xu Anyi on the side, who had more to her than just innocence, the simplicity in Xia Yiwei's modeling immediately dampened her presence.
To the side, the workers watching were also quickly drawn to look at the other model, and many of them gaped in all at her beautiful figure but also her overbearing presence.
"Wow. . ."
"She looks so beautiful."
Hearing all the exclamations, Xia Yiwei's smile widened as she took a step forward closer to the camera, continuing to pose as she looked into the camera.
However, what she failed to realize was that no one was paying any attention to what she was doing anymore, including the photographer himself.
"Yes, try to interact with the background more," Eric commented, moving side to side to try and get a better picture of Xu Anyi.
Hearing this, Xia Yiwei stupidly looked around and bent down, grabbing onto one of the flowers laying on the ground as she pretended to sniff it, playing around with it in her hands as she looked into the camera.
Usually, this would look like a perfectly normal thing to do in a shoot, but her dramatic movements made her look incredibly ignorant and stupid in the moment.
Behind her, Xu Anyi paused for a moment, considering the photographer's words. Then, she tilted her body slightly to face the light more and she threw her arms back behind her, closing her eyes as she let her hair fall back.
Although there was no wind, the pose itself made it seem like she was embracing the wind, and everyone was drawn into the scene in the background right away, like they were standing right there in that open plane.
"Amazing! Perfect!" Eric smiled brightly as he continued to take pictures, and at this scene, he even zoomed the camera in to just get a picture of Xu Anyi alone, ignoring the flower-picking girl to the side.
After several minutes, Eric finally reluctantly finished the shoot, and he looked through the images happily, "Amazing! Perfect! These will be the cover pictures. Go change to the second set of clothes."
There was another set and this time, it was two matching dresses, both with the same colorful flower pattern on it. However, one was longer and had flowy sleeves, and the pattern was in a darker shade. The other dress was very short and was sleeveless, and the base color of the dress was a lighter color.
Xia Yiwei quickly grabbed the sleeveless one and entered the room to change, looking at Xu Anyi with a triumphant smile.
She was known as the best model among the actress circle, partially because of her large and supportive fanbase, but she liked to think of it as because of her amazing modeling skills. There was no way a nobody like Xu Anyi could beat her in her talent!
The next shoot went by successfully as well, as everyone just paid attention to Xu Anyi.
For this set of clothes, Xu Anyi focused on bringing out the innocence of the dress more. The darker shade of the dress was more evident in the bright backdrop, whereas the light color of Xia Yiwei's dress almost seemed to blend in with the background slightly.
And because Xia Yiwei did not know how to show off the clothing piece itself properly, the dress quickly got lost in the background.
This time, a fan was used as fake wind to blow the dresses up slightly and create movement, but because Xia Yiwei's dress was so short, she had a hard time moving around and her movements seemed small and rigid.
Eric looked back at the pictures and nodded with satisfaction, but as he looked toward the other model to the side, his smile diminished slightly. He sighed and looked at the two models, deciding to let it go.
The other model wasn't too bad, and he did not want to waste these beautiful pictures, so it was fine.
"Perfect! The shoot is over."
Xu Anyi smiled and bowed down, thanking all of the workers. The workers began clapping, all of them still watching Xu Anyi and not noticing Xia Yiwei to the side, who also bowed down slightly, accepting "her" applause proudly.
After they had finished, Xia Yiwei went in to change first and Xu Anyi walked over to Eric, wanting to ask him if there is anything she could improve in.
Eric patted her on the shoulder excitedly, "Xu Anyi, right? You are amazing! Absolutely wondrous! I can't believe this is your first time modeling!"
Xu Anyi broke into a bright smile as she clasped her hands together, "Thank you."
"I would love to work with you again sometime in the future, possibly for an individual shoot. Who is that other model today?"
Xu Anyi raised an eyebrow, "Xia Yiwei?"
"Yes, her. She. . ." He paused and then shrugged it off, "I will talk to the manager about it and see if I could arrange another shoot with you. I think you are perfect for Design!"
Xu Anyi placed both hands over her chest and nodded, "Thank you very much. I look forward to seeing the pictures."
Eric nodded and took his camera and walked away, going to look for the manager.
After changing, Xia Yiwei left first, saying goodbye to the workers happily. Of course the workers knew that Xia Yiwei had a stronger background than the other model, so they all politely complimented Xia Yiwei, although no one really paid any attention to her today.
Xu Anyi also changed quickly and left as well, as it was after noon time already and Si Mu had texted her and told her he was cooking lunch already.

She entered the house and saw Si Mu walk out of the kitchen, holding two plates of food. He looked over at her and set the plates down, "Come eat."
Xu Anyi went into the kitchen to wash her hands, and she excitedly told him about how successful the shoot was today. Si Mu took off his apron and looked at her with a smile, not surprised. Of course, he knew that she could do it!
The two of them sat down to eat, but as they sat down, Xu Anyi received a notification on her phone that someone had tagged her on the new public social media account she had created.
She frowned when she saw that it was Xia Yiwei.
