Psychological Control

Chapter 102

"I think you should have known from Jonathan before that I am an artist. I prefer pure art, oil painting, rather than designers designing products for various brands." Sophia looked at her At that time, the eyes are bright.It felt very much like Abid when he sketched out his design concept.

"What I want you to do is to be my painting model," she gracefully raised her hand and brushed the ends of her hair, "and the working environment is very relaxed, you don't need to go to the wild to shoot, your working place is Our villa. There I have my own studio."

"The current market price of my paintings is at least hundreds of thousands of dollars. After the cooperation is over, in addition to the commission, I can also give you an oil painting with yourself as the protagonist. I think it will be more meaningful than a photo?"

After she finished speaking, she also seemed to be competing with Abid, and also reached out to touch my face.The degree of self-centeredness of these two couples is simply impossible to ignore.In their eyes, I may be like a toy they are fighting for.

But curiosity killed the cat. In order to satisfy my curiosity, I closed my eyes slightly and let this woman press her index finger painted with bright red nail polish on my eyelids, gently stroking my eyes. Eyelashes, then from the nose to my lips.

When I opened my eyes again, I unexpectedly saw Abid who was sitting directly opposite me, with resentment flashing in his eyes.Strangely, Abed's dissatisfaction with Sofia's action is more serious than Sofia's dissatisfaction with him.Seems like a legacy issue.

If it is judged based on the existing situation, and my guess is correct.Before me, they were fighting for toys, maybe the victory was more in favor of Sofia.The feeling that you can't completely control the other person in your own hands, especially when it should be your turn to play, but the toy is more inclined to play with another person.

The dissatisfaction and jealousy that were neglected like a child gradually rose to a backlog of resentment in his heart, and this kind of dissatisfaction and resentment was forced to be suppressed in his heart by Abid.It seems that I finally found the entry point where these two couples are out of step, which is really interesting.

Thinking of this, I smiled and squinted my eyes, raised my hand to support Sophia's hand and gently opened the distance from my face.Sure enough, when Sophia was reluctant to let go, Abid's eyes flashed with satisfaction.

"I don't know what your respective schedules are like?" I directly led the topic to the next stage, "You must know that I will start school in one month." The said cooperation has been promised.

"I started preparing for this shooting project very early, and Sofia can start creating at any time." After I agreed, Abid regained control of the conversation among the three. "So if you want, we can start preparing to start tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

……

Back at the hotel, I told Dillon that I would take over the result of this filming job.It was obvious that Dillon didn't agree, but in the end because it was my decision, he still didn't force me to give up.It was just a step back and the request was that he would stay with me in Los Angeles until my shoot was over.

The next day, I went directly to Abed’s studio in West Hollywood to try on the outfit, and at the same time discussed with him in more detail the details that need to be paid attention to in the shooting and the feeling he wants to present in the still photos, and more importantly, Sign a work contract.

Although most models are not paid to help designers take concept photos, Abid promised at yesterday's dinner that this is a paid job, so it is a necessary procedure for the client and the client to sign the work contract before the start of work.

"This will be your fishtail in the shooting. The width may be a little inappropriate. I need you to try it on now and we will modify it to the most suitable state." After signing the contract, Abid did not let his The assistant is responsible for my actions, but personally took me to try on makeup.

The way Abid enters the working state is like those tech lunatics in American superhero comics, and they are the kind that eventually become villains because of their obsession.He was so absorbed in that he didn't care about the actions and thoughts of the people around him that he put his arms around my shoulders and held the back of my neck with his palms, almost manipulating me to follow his steps.

This is a subconscious move to show his paranoid desire to control. It is estimated that most models will be uncomfortable at this stage, but I am very aware of Abed's mental state, so I did not make any resistance.This made the other assistants who followed us have unconcealable surprise and curiosity on their faces from time to time.

I ignored their gazes, but seriously looked at the mermaid tailgear displayed by Abid in front of me.The translucent yarn-like material will reveal different neon colors with peacock blue as the main color under the sunlight from different angles.

But compared with ordinary yarn, this material looks softer and more suitable for the skin. The gradual connection with the mermaid line of the model is the fusion of pendants and lace. The size of each piece is not exaggerated. Colorful crystal ornaments And the tattoo-like lace that melts into the skin after wearing it, with a rococo style of the sixteenth century.

But it is not accurate to say that it is a complete Rococo style. The complicated style is not matched with deep colors. Abed chose relatively fresh and cool colors, which makes it more elegant.Noble but not tacky, there is no excessive decoration in the middle of the fish tail, because the caudal fin of the fish tail is the key point of the whole fish tail.

Perhaps it was because of being suspended in the air and having gravity, the gauze-like materials did not have the elegant and dreamy feeling in the design draft that Abid showed me.But looking at the pendant on the edge of the caudal fin and the crystal jewelry at the gradient of the mermaid line, I can easily imagine its posture in the water, and the whole design is completely perfect.

"Before putting on this fishtail suit, I hope you have a thorough hair removal on your legs." Abed looked at my focused expression looking at the fishtail suit, and said with a satisfied smile.

Now that the contract has been signed, I naturally have no need to refuse for such a trivial matter.But when I saw him wave away those assistants and subordinates who were obviously accustomed to what he did, and lead me into his office and close the door, I subconsciously raised my vigilance.Even if I know, the time has not come for him, and nothing further should happen.

"Don't you want to go to the bathroom for hair removal?" I frowned and said.Not to mention that I haven't fully understood the details of Abid, just to prevent him from doubting my purpose. Most people will definitely open their mouths to question under such circumstances.

"That's right," Abed smiled and nodded, walked two steps in front of me, turned around and smiled at me: "But that doesn't mean you need to use the public toilets of the employees outside. I have prepared more toilets here. A convenient place for you to lie down." Abid's office is huge, but that's not all there is to this room.

I saw him pick up a small remote control from the corner of the desk, and after he pressed a button, the double rows of bookshelves on the side of the office opened like doors.Inside turned out to be a combination of a luxurious and complete dressing room and dressing room.

Row after row of neatly arranged clothing series he designed in the past and jewelry sets displayed in glass cabinets beside the wall, and there is an entire wall displaying models he has worked with in the past and hard photos taken.

On Abed’s model wall, almost every model has a different type of appearance, there are Cubans with black hair and black beard and deep silhouette, there are traditional Germanic blondes, and mulattos with chocolate complexion. Everything is like a collector.

"Oh, look at those cheesy works!" Abed noticed that my eyes fell on the photos of the models, and there was a hint of disdain and flattery in his tone. "Before I met you, I didn't even know how soulless those works were. Those models were simply a failure of my previous aesthetics!"

"I'm pursuing perfection, and I'm making unremitting attempts..." Abid waved his hands as if preaching, and he showed the paranoid perfectionist to the fullest. "But every time I shoot a model, it feels more and more wrong! I tried all the different types, but I couldn't find the right one at all!"

As he spoke, he walked forward quickly, tore off a photo of a male model mounted in a glass photo frame, and threw it to the ground forcefully. With a "clang", the glass photo frame shattered from where it hit the ground like a cobweb.I noticed that the photo Abed was holding was obviously the latest one, and maybe the one that caused him and Sophia to clash.

That was also the last "toy" that he and Sophia played with before they came to me. I don't know what was so special that caused their dispute?I focused my eyes on the hard photo that was thrown on the ground... Then I found out, what really made me feel like a stick in my throat.

This model is not only ginger like me, but also has waist-length hair like the mermaid in Abed's design concept!His hair looks exactly like the long straight hair Abed blurted out at dinner last night, the same color as mine.My intuition gave me a bad premonition. Could it be that the hair that Abed planned to add to me during the shoot came from this model?

So, is the hair the model herself is willing to sell?Or...and Abid's obsession with the red-haired ginger, doesn't it seem familiar?

How similar it is to David Vincent who was sent to prison by my own hands... The thoughts in my mind rolled for several times before calming down.I can only comfort myself not to be so unlucky, maybe I can ask Dillon to help me check how the model is now when I go back today.
