46 THE TRUE ORIENTAL TREND
The makeup artist, as well as other staff, were endlessly praising Mo Yurou''s beauty. Because of
her charming and energetic personality, Mo Yurou demanded everyone''s attention. Whereas, in
comparison, when not working, Tangning was quiet and peaceful; she didn''t like talking. This kind of
introverted personality, especially whenpared to Mo Yurou, made it easy for people to overlook
her presence and beauty.
"Miss Mo, since you are ready, please make your way into the studio to get your solo shoot taken
first."
As well as the front cover shoot, there were also solo photos inside the magazine, so Mo Yurou
entered the studio ahead of Tangning. As she got up from her seat in front of the mirror, a provoking
look went across her face apanied by a confident aura - it was like she was sure she would
win. This confidence definitely could not be found on Tangning. As a result, based on a favorable
impression, all the staff had faith in Mo Yurou more.
Inside the studio. The set was ready. Under the traditional wooden window stood an old table. Atop
the table, sat a delicate blue and white porcin vase and appearing out of the vase was a beautiful
pink rose that had recently bloomed. Beside the table sat a Taishi chair; Mo Yurou''s task was to sit
on this chair and take a photo.
Upon seeing Mo Yurou enter the studio, the photographer was captivated by her look. All this
Oriental beauty had to do was sit on the chair and she would be as beautiful as a painting. If she
could utilize her skills to take it a step further, the Oriental Trend would definitely be ignited in the
Western market.
"It''s rumored this model isparable to Huo Jingjing," the photographer''s assistant praised, "She
must be very professional."
"I have high hopes." The tall handsome photographer reminded everyone to get in position before
telling Mo Yurou, in a friendly manner, that the shoot would be about to start.
As Mo Yurou was very ambitious, she understood, apart from putting in extra effort for the shoot
with Tangning, she also could not treat this solo shoot casually.

"Let''s take a few shots from the side," the photographer instructed Mo Yurou. With the help of the
trantor, Mo Yurou understood the photographer''s expectations, so she immediately turned her
body to one side. She then used her right arm to lean on the back of the chair and ced her left
hand on her dress - revealing the left side of her refined face as she smiled seductively.
The photographer furrowed his brows - he was expecting an Oriental beauty, not an Oriental
temptress... The photographer captured a photo regardless. He thought maybe she hadn''t gotten
into the momentum yet, so he directed her to express the intellectual beauty of an Oriental woman
by holding a traditional red basket. This time, Mo Yurou sat up straight; the angle was right,
but...she had her head down...all the photographer could see was her wide forehead.
The photographer again took a few shots, his expression was unimpressed. How could this model
bepared to Huo Jingjing?
Worst of all, throughout the entire shoot, although Mo Yurou''s personality stood out, she could only
pull off one smile and one facial expression...
The photographer was silent, he just wanted toplete the job at hand. When the shoot was
finally over, Mo Yurou was shameless enough to approach him and ask how she went.
The photographer didn''t respond while his assistant turned to Mo Yurou, gave her a thumbs up and
said, "Very good..."
Mo Yurou gave a proud smile. Underneath her refined appearance was a model with no self-
awareness - it suddenly felt so easy to hate her.
"Pfft!" The photographer let out a sound of digust behind her back before turning to his assistant
and asked, "Is there still one more?" At this moment, Tangning gently entered the studio. She
started off by greeting the photographer politely.
Her smile didn''t seem forced nor unfriendly, but because of Mo Yurou''s shoot, the photographer was
currently in a bad mood, so he could only respond to Tangning in an expressionless manner.
Deep down he thought, even though the model that just left wasn''t skilled, at least she had a bright
personality. Whereas the model in front of him, was quiet and dull - he was expecting her to be even
worse.
Because of his expectations, his attitude towards Tangning was very casual. He casually prepared
and casually started the shoot without giving Tangning any directions. All he mentioned to her were
the underlying themes of each photo.
"I really don''t know how these women can be called models," the assistant next to the photographer
also did not have high expectations for Tangning.
Theme l: The gentleness of an Oriental woman.
The photographer wasn''t worried at all about this theme because Tangning just had to be herself
and the task would bepleted. However, she did something he did not expect. Indeed, she did
not need to do anything fancy, she just had to maintain her usualposure and simply sit on the
chair, but...she added in one important factor...
...her eyes...
Unlike the calm, emotionless expression she originally had, Tangning''s gaze was now focused in
front of her; alert and clear. Her eyes were slightly watery with a tinge of red - like she was looking
at something she loved, but had to resist... This was exactly the shy, reserved personality of an
Oriental woman!
Most importantly, Tangning didn''t only bring attention to her eyes, she also led onlookers with her
emotions to focus on the clothes on her body...she looked like a woman that had dressed up for the
person she loved, only to find...the person she loved was with another person. Therefore, she felt
her appearance was disgraceful and a joke...
Emotion and setting blended together; her gaze and the product became one...
Wow...
The photographer couldn''t contain his excitement. Throughout the entire shoot, he endlessly
shouted, "Perfect!"
He had never seen such a skilled model. His heart was so excited it was about to burst...
In a mere 5 minutes, Tangning managed to portray a story, and most importantly, this story was
rted to the clothes she was wearing!
This was how a professional model should be. No matter how beautiful she was, she was meant to
be an essory for the product she was presenting. Most models had the capability to show off
their clothes, but how many could be one with it?
This time, the photographer was filled with excitement. He finally felt he found a chance to show off
his photography skills. Most importantly, Tangning was a model that knew how to pick her own
poses. She didn''t require much direction, every pose she pulled was exactly what was required and
every photo she took would make one not willing to delete it...
Thinking about it, the previous modelpared to Tangning...waspletely overshadowed.
The difference between ''just-a-pretty-face'' and a ''real model'' was like the difference between the
sky and earth.
Afterwards, the photographer asked Tangning to pull off a few more looks. What made him even
more surprised was the fact that no matter what he requested from Tangning, she would be able to
respond within a second. Flirtatious, sad, innocent, seductive - she could pull it all off with a simple
gaze and her detailed approach. He couldn''t help but apud her...
This type of modelpletely epassed the true Oriental Trend!
