Shenhao with a learning panel

Chapter 252
Because of having an assistant, he now only puts forward general requirements for many chores outside of study, and then hands them over to Zhang Huijing for specific execution.

For example, he didn't think deeply about the difficulty of finding mannequins aged 40 to 50. Although he knew that he would make a specific request, it would definitely be more difficult than finding those young models, but Zhang Huijing didn't expect it to be so difficult. Call to report the level with yourself.

Li Shi asked: "Tell me specifically."

"Boss, it's like this. Those agents said that there are actually a lot of old mannequins, and the prices are cheaper than young and beautiful ones. There are men and women, of all weights and shapes."

"The age group of four to 50 years old is quite special in the mannequin industry. It is the age group with the least number of employees. There are also people who come to this industry at this age. Very poor, and people with poor economic conditions..."

When Zhang Huijing said this, Li Shi immediately understood.

People with poor economic conditions are running around for a living every day, so there is no way to talk about maintenance.

And 50 to [-] years old is the age when aging is hard to avoid even if you are born beautiful, so it is indeed difficult to find the requirements that you put forward in professional mannequins, or even ordinary models.

He pondered for a while, and said, "Try to look for it, the price can be slightly higher, and I hope to find at least one."

Zhang Huijing said: "Good boss, but I think there are other ways to try. For example, posting information about recruiting private models on platforms such as Weibo and Xiaohongshu may be useful."

Li Shi was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and suddenly remembered the experience of finding models on these platforms to make appointments when he was learning photography.

He immediately said: "You are right, you should take care of this matter."

Then I asked about the arrangement of sketching in the afternoon.

Zhang Huijing quickly replied: "Two models have been contacted, and the time to be notified is to arrive at the studio at 01:30 in the afternoon. In addition, the costumes and props have been rented according to the data of the two models. I am going to pick up the costumes now. "

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Li Shi got up and went to the tea table beside the bed, took a sip of tea, still thinking about what Zhang Huijing said on the phone just now.

In fact, even if you don’t draw 50-year-old and [-]-year-old human body sketches, it’s just that there is a lack of sketching experience for this age group in the human body material library, which will not affect his impact (proficient-).

But this kind of lack will make him feel that he is not perfect, he will "miss", and he will always feel that he is almost meaningless.

"I am now studying, and perfectionism and obsessive-compulsive disorder seem to have become serious."

"But it's about learning, it's about the ultimate goal of the learning panel, it's about the height you can achieve in your future evolution, and you really shouldn't be sloppy at all."

"It's right to strive for perfection in this area!"

Li Shi smiled, took another sip of tea, picked up his phone, and sent a message to Wu Yuan: "Sister Yuan, what are you doing?"

Wu Yuan responded to his message as quickly as ever: "Just finished the meeting, and now I'm going to Pudong to see the storefront of the second store in Shanghai. (Laughing happily)"

Her first Hunan restaurant in Shanghai became a hit after it opened on New Year's Day, and the business was very good.

She is very ambitious, so she wants to take advantage of this momentum to prepare another branch and open it before the Chinese New Year.

It was also because of this that she did not return to Tanzhou to see Li Shi.

Otherwise, with Wu Yuan dreaming of going back to Dali for seven days a week, if the time is not so tight, even if Li Shi didn't call her, she would have found an excuse to rush back to learn photography skills.

When Li Shi learned that she was going to open a second branch in Shanghai so soon, he was actually a little worried that she was too hasty, but he didn't want to interfere with their business, and sometimes being too hasty is not necessarily a bad thing.

He has experience, and for some things, he has to go in and out quickly, so that he can go straight to Qingyun in one breath!

Slowly, only tepid.

It is difficult to have an explosive harvest!

The so-called "one bang" is the truth.

After Li Shi was a little dazed, the other party sent two more WeChat messages and they had already arrived.

Wu Yuan: "Ms. Li, I want to play with you, can I? (Weak and weak)"

Wu Yuan: "I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss you, and recently my photography skills are rusty, I want to talk to you in depth (shy)"

Li Shi couldn't help but smile after reading the message, this Ms. Wu is indeed her.

Click to open the input box, and replied: "Don't run away, I will go to Shanghai to find you within three to five days, and I will paint for you when the time comes, you should prepare more clothes."

Wu Yuan: "Really!"

Wu Yuan: "Okay, then I'll buy new clothes and wait for you! Last time it was Lolita, how is Catwoman doing this time?"

Li Shi, who wanted to talk about another serious matter, was stunned.

Catwoman?

The costume of Catwoman in that movie appeared in my mind, and I couldn't help but look forward to it.

Tsk, Ms. Wu is tall and plump. Wearing that black leather jacket, she is naturally extremely sexy.

Li Shi thought to himself, she was originally an attractive peach, but in the past, she was more of an Asian maiden style. If she dressed up as a catwoman and added a bit of mysterious and exotic style, it would be quite suitable for her to paint.

Well, not bad not bad.He smiled and typed: "Then you have to prepare well, when I arrive in Shanghai, I will check."

"Okay, Teacher Li!"

Li Shi finally brought the topic to the main topic: "By the way, do you have any female friends in their 50s and [-]s who want to take private photos or draw pictures of their own houses?"

He told Wu Yuan about the matter and his request for the model.

The reason why I told her was that when I was talking on the phone with Zhang Huijing just now, I remembered that I took pictures of Wu Yuan's private house at the beginning, and later she wanted to continue to introduce her girlfriends to take pictures by herself.

She knows a lot of rich women, maybe she can find one that meets her requirements?
Li Shi also had the idea of ​​hitting a shot with dates or no dates.

Wu Yuan replied quickly: "As soon as you said it, a person immediately appeared in my mind. She should be around 45 years old, but she is very well maintained and looks good... I just don't know if she is willing, and because Because of family reasons, she is usually decent and traditional, so I don’t know how to tell her, I have to think about it first.”

Wu Yuan: "Is this urgent?"

Li Shi immediately typed: "No hurry, tell me about her situation first."

Wu Yuan: "Her name is Shen Jie. She is a high school teacher who teaches history. She doesn't like to take pictures and never post them on Moments, so I don't have any pictures of her here. She is a little shorter and thinner than me. Very good..."

After listening to Wu Yuan's words, a traditional and conservative image of a woman appeared in Li Shi's mind.

I feel that it is unlikely that such a person will agree to take private photos or draw private paintings.

But now that I know that there is such a person who meets my requirements objectively, it would be a pity not to give it a try, so I typed: "Then on the premise of not affecting your relationship as much as possible, you should find a chance to ask, if you don't want to It doesn't matter."

"Yeah, okay, I'll ask her when I figure out what method to use."

After chatting with Wu Yuan for a few more words, she went to see the store.

End the chat.

Li Shi put down his phone, took another sip of tea, and looked out of the floor-to-ceiling windows. Today's weather is fine, and the sky above the city is very blue and clean.

"Today there is a theme of girls who were studying, and the sketching in the afternoon can be arranged outdoors."

"If it is outdoors, according to today's weather, you must fully consider the brightness of the light when painting."

Li Shi thought for a while, and was about to go out to see if Wang Yuelan's lunch was ready. When he walked to the door of the study, he suddenly remembered something, returned to the desk, picked up his mobile phone and called Zhang Huijing: "Xiao Zhang, you Have you done the aforementioned job of posting recruitment information on various platforms?"

The person on the phone walked out of the elevator, and Zhang Huijing, who was going to find a car, stopped quickly and said, "Not yet, I want to finish my afternoon sketching first, boss, do you need me to do it right now?"

Li Shi originally wanted to ask her if she had released the information about finding a model. If she had released the information, he would forward the recruitment information to Wu Yuan and let her use it to tell that teacher Shen Jie, as a way to bring out the topic.

However, at the end of the day, I felt that if Zhang Huijing wrote the recruitment announcement, the content about the model in it might be misunderstood as being aimed at her, so I changed my mind and said: "No, you can continue to go to the costumes and props now, and wait until it is finished." Work in the afternoon, don’t be late if you’re free.”

After hanging up the phone, Li Shi turned on his laptop, created a new document, thought about it, and started editing the copy:
"Appointment Painting/Private House"

I am a freelance painter, good at sketching female portraits.

……

Li Shi quickly wrote a copy of the appointment with no specific requirements for the model, and then posted it on Xiaohongshu.

Then the screenshot was sent to Wu Yuan.

"You just say, you know the artist who made the appointment, and you want to ask me to paint, and ask her if she is interested in working together... You can do your work first, and then reply to me when you are done."

Then I found two photos of the work and sent them over.

In just three or four minutes, Wu Yuan's message came back:

"After reading it, today's store is obviously not as good as the place I saw the day before yesterday. In my opinion, the shortcomings are obvious, so I don't need to look at it after a short walk. There is no need to waste time."

"Ms. Li, you didn't write on the screenshot whether it is charged or free. Your drawing is so beautiful, you should charge for it (呲牙)"

When Wu Yuan reminded him, Li Shi's eyes lit up.

Yes, there is a fee!

And it can't be cheap.

It's not that he lacks that little money, but most people nowadays believe in "cheap goods are not good" and "expensive is expensive". I think your level is too low, or you have other purposes.

"Wait a minute, I'll change it and take another screenshot."

Li Shi clicked on the document and re-edited the copy:
"High-end custom painting / private house"

I am a freelance painter, good at sketching female portraits.

……

Charges: not less than [-] sheets, depending on the specific situation.

After editing, I sent it to Little Red Book again, this time adding a sketch of my previous work.

Delete the previous one, take a screenshot, and send it to Wu Yuan.

After it was over, Li Shi temporarily put the matter aside.

The reason why he did this was mainly to give Wu Yuan a good excuse not to froze her relationship with her friend because of his own affairs.

As for whether it will be successful, I don't have high expectations.

Just cast a wide net.

I went out and played with Wang Yuelan who was cooking in the room for four or ten minutes, then had lunch together, and took a nap for a while,
At 01:30 in the afternoon, Li Shi drove a Bentley to the studio and met Zhao Lu and Chen Yun.

According to the requirements, they came wearing masks and hats without makeup. After arriving here, let Li Shi observe first, and then communicate the specific makeup details.

He had seen photos of these two female college students without make-up in the materials before, but Li Shi was a little pleasantly surprised when he saw them in person. Both of them looked better than in the photos.

Both of them are 19 years old, exactly the age of Shui Lingling, without makeup, and their skin is in very good condition, especially Zhao Lu, who has very beautiful facial features.

Chen Yun's facial features are not as exquisite as Zhao Lu's, but she is also very good-looking, and she is tall and slender. Apart from a pair of slender and straight legs, her chest strength should not be underestimated.

While observing, Li Shi first sketched them with pen and paper.

Then communicate the specific makeup.

Half an hour later, they put on their makeup and changed into the clothes prepared by Zhang Huijing.

Li Shi observed again, and after a while, he turned to Zhang Huijing and said, "The weather is fine today, and the temperature has risen a lot. We won't go to the activity base later, and we will find a suitable place in the city."

After a while, everyone came to the parking lot downstairs.

Zhao Quan didn't come today, so there are only four people, and one car is enough.

When getting into the Bentley Flying Spur, Zhao Lu and Chen Yun couldn't help but feel a little nervous looking at the luxurious interior.

The two sat in the back row, looked at each other, took out their mobile phones at the same time, and chatted on WeChat.

"Boss, where are we going now?"

Zhang Huijing got into the driver's seat and asked Li Shi in the co-pilot.

Li Shi thought for a while, and said, "Go to the University City."

I drove all the way around the university town, turned around, found a place with few people, and parked the car.

Draw Zhao Lu first.

Li Shi guided her to take a few looks, but she was not particularly satisfied, and always felt that something was missing.

After thinking for a while, he looked around, and then walked towards the shared bicycle not far away.

Scan the QR code and push one back.

"Zhao Lu, try holding this bicycle with your hands."

"Well, lean on your side and lean your back against the cushion."

"Lift your chin up a little bit, and look at me again, okay, that's it!"

Li Shi looked at Zhao Lu who was leaning on the bicycle in front of him, and a surge of excitement rose in his body.

I saw that she was dressed in a school uniform at the moment, with a white shirt, a black suit, and a plaid skirt. Her fair face glowed white under the reflection of the sun, her eyes were big, her eyebrows were bright and her teeth were bright. She looked youthful and sweet. It seems that the heroine in the campus TV drama came to the front from the screen.

The index finger and middle finger of his left hand tapped his thigh briskly a few times in succession. He was about to get the paintbrush and drawing book when the phone in his pocket rang. own friend.

He clicked to open it, and the other party directly wrote: "Little Red Book made an appointment to draw."

Li Shi ignored it and put away his phone.

"You move around, and then try to keep this position as still as possible."

After giving Zhao Lu an order, he turned around and took the drawing book and pen from Zhang Huijing, then observed for a while, and after a few minutes of deliberation, he began to write.

Not long after painting, the phone in his pocket rang again.

Take it out to unlock it, it's still a WeChat message, click on it, and your eyes widen.

There are actually people who have asked me to draw on Xiaohongshu who are applying to add my trumpet as a friend!

This……

What's the situation?
