Magnate Tycoon: How Did Simply Enjoying Life Make Me a Male God?-Chapter 571 - 401: Underwater Photography (Part 2)

Her speech was a bit rushed, her expression clearly somewhat flustered, looking like her secrets had been exposed.

Then, Shi Yang began selecting outfits for Li Jing to wear during the shoot.

The theme for this shoot was playboy, and Shi Yang meticulously chose a pair of powerfully designed tight diving pants for Li Jing, his upper body bare, with skin covered in runes that emitted a captivating glow under the light.

On his head was a crown woven from shells and vines, long fake hair draped down naturally, and he held that trident in his hand, as if he were a ruler who'd just emerged from the deep sea.

Having changed into the outfit, Li Jing stood before Shi Yang, slightly raising his chin, his eyes filled with confidence.

"How is it? Can we shoot like this?" His voice was deep and had a hint of inquiry.

Seeing Shi Yang's lack of response, Li Jing gave Shi Yang a puzzled look, only to find the latter staring at him blankly, a flash of amazement in her eyes.

"What? You're spellbound by my look?"

Upon hearing Li Jing's voice, Shi Yang snapped back to reality, her cheeks flushed bright red, as if her secret had been discovered, she hurriedly looked away.

"Who's spellbound by you? I'm just thinking about something, okay?" Her voice slightly lacked confidence, fingers nervously tugging at the corner of her clothes.

One must admit, Li Jing's over 180 cm height paired with this outfit looked exceptionally majestic.

Especially the firm muscles of his upper body, which complemented the runes on his skin, making him look like a real iron-blooded warrior.

Those specifically designed model accessories enhanced his charisma, making him seem like the reigning lord of the ocean.

For a moment there, Shi Yang was indeed captivated by Li Jing's appearance, even felt a slight flutter in her heart.

However, having had her thoughts exposed by Li Jing, she would never admit it.

Feigning indifference, she spoke with a stiff tone:

"Stop being narcissistic, hurry up and get in the water, we don't have much time. I'll film from outside."

Li Jing's lips curved into a wicked smile as he deliberately approached Shi Yang, "What, not taking a few more looks at me?"

Shi Yang's heart suddenly raced, and she forcefully pushed Li Jing, "Stop the nonsense, quickly get in the water!"

Li Jing laughed, turned around, and strode toward the swimming pool, leaving Shi Yang standing there with her heart still pounding.

The task of underwater shooting went as per Shi Yang's plan, with Li Jing entering the water tank to pose various moves, while she was responsible for filming from outside the tank.

This water tank was not small; it spread horizontally covering around twenty to thirty square meters, and was more than two meters deep.

Crafted entirely from transparent glass, standing outside the tank, one could have a clear view of the scenes within.

The shooting task posed a high level of difficulty—the model not only needed to stay in the water for a prolonged period but also had to precisely execute various complex moves while holding breath.

Previously, Shi Yang had tried several male models for this theme but none delivered satisfying results.

Some models were poor swimmers, panicking once in the water; others didn't aesthetically align with the underwater filming style, failing to deliver the mysterious charisma of a "playboy".

But Li Jing was different; he was born with a rugged face with distinct features, and his physique was fluid and powerfully aesthetic.

Once in the water, with the lighting, he appeared like a splendid sculpture emerging from the deep sea—every frame was likely to be visually striking.

However, Shi Yang herself had previously attempted getting into the water, and each time, she could barely hold breath for one or two minutes after executing moves, having to swim up for air, which was indeed exhausting.

Thinking of this, Shi Yang felt a complex emotion.

Initially asking Li Jing to be a model somewhat had a mischievous purpose, but now watching him potentially endure hardship, she felt a twinge of concern.

She furrowed her brows and shouted toward Li Jing, "Hey, practice holding your breath and changing airs before you dive in. If something goes wrong, I can't save you."

Li Jing was confident in his physical fitness, boldly walked to the ladder by the tank, raised his brows at Shi Yang with a relaxed tone:

"No worries, it's a small matter for me."

Shi Yang scoffed, although her words showed disdain, her feet unconsciously moved closer to Li Jing, keeping a keen eye on his every move, fearing an accident.

Li Jing stepped onto the ladder, reached the entry of the tank, and stretched his hand to feel the water surface, surprised to find the water temperature pleasantly warm.

"Indeed a professional underwater shooting base," he muttered.

An appropriate water temperature brings greater comfort and friendliness to the shoot for the model.

After confirming the water temperature was suitable, Li Jing slowly descended the stairs inside the pool.

The pool was slightly taller than him, though there were multiple spots to grasp inside, facilitating balance.

With his excellent swimming skills, Li Jing had no worries about changing airs.

With his height of over 180 cm, in this more than two meters deep pool, just a gentle push from the bottom of the pool with his feet could easily propel him out of the water for breath.

After repeatedly trying holding breath and changing airs, adapting to the underwater feel, Li Jing finally officially entered the center of the pool.

When he slowly opened his eyes underwater, the scene before him became blurred, yet relying on his far superior physical abilities, he could still respond composedly.

"Remember, hold each pose for at least 10 to 15 seconds, don't move randomly!"

Shi Yang had almost half her body leaned into the edge of the tank, shouting loudly.

After her voice fell, she ran back behind the camera, quickly adjusting ISO parameters on the waterproof SLR with her fingertips.

Li Jing was submerged, enveloped by warm water flow.

Thanks to his notable physical abilities, not only was his vision sharp, but he could also clearly capture the muffled sounds transmitted through the water.

As Shi Yang's silhouette moved closer to the glass, her serious look and tight-lipped expression were slightly twisted by the water's refraction but still discernible.

He raised his chin outside, lifted his arm to signal an OK gesture, his chest illuminating under the pool lights.

With the trident just gripped in his palm, striking the first group of pre-designed poses, Li Jing caught sight of Shi Yang swiftly operating the camera shutter with her fingers.

Though he couldn't hear the shutter click, seeing her closely examining the viewfinder with a serious look meant the shoot had commenced.

As he readied to surface for air, suddenly recalling Shi Yang's prior emphasis on the rhythm of shooting, he swiftly transitioned into the second pose.

Shi Yang was astonished, not expecting Li Jing to not only excel at swimming but also adapt swiftly to the rhythm of underwater filming in such a short span.

Her fingers reflexively clicked the shutter, in the viewfinder, Li Jing's stretched form combined with the swimming fish creating a marvelous dynamic composition, dark gold runes faintly visible in the water flow.

After over two minutes, Li Jing broke the surface, water droplets cascaded down his hair strands.

He wiped his face, about to talk, but heard Shi Yang's excited shout penetrating the water, "Nice! It's better than I expected!"

She was seen dashing toward the control panel, her ponytail swinging with a sharp arc behind her, swiftly adjusting the angle of the light with her fingertips, even measuring the tilt of the reflector personally with a tape measure.

Supporting himself on the side to breath, Li Jing watched Shi Yang's bustling figure outside the tank.

Her half-kneeling on the ground adjusting the reflector was in stark contrast to her previously pretentious cool demeanor.

Those eyes that always carried a bit of temper now sparkled with focus, even the gold dust on her hair softly trembled with her movements.

"How is it, rested enough? Let's shoot the second set!" Shi Yang returned with the camera, her forehead still glistening with sweat.

Li Jing gazed at her flushed cheeks, suddenly feeling that the focused Shi Yang held a different charm.

He took a deep breath and dove back into the water, reaching for the coral prop suspended at the bottom.

With the refraction of light, every pose he struck seemed like an ancient ritual of a deep-sea lord, and outside the tank, Shi Yang held her breath, capturing those images one by one on the camera.

As the shooting duration kept extending, Li Jing's fingertips had become pale and wrinkled, but his moves grew increasingly smooth and natural.
