Chapter 222: Episode 222 Taking Wedding Photos is a Physical Job 2

However, the answer Zhou Xueyin got when she asked was that they couldn’t arrange it because there was no precedent and they didn’t know the men’s sizes...

"Seriously, so stubborn, no precedent so they don’t know how to make an exception? It’s strange how they survive with such a rigid operation mode..." Zhou Xueyin was really pissed off by their business philosophy.

"Let it go, let it go, after all, not everyone can accept men wearing wedding dresses. If they don’t understand, just forget it, we’ll have our own fun later." Li Jiniang comforted Zhou Xueyin, "Don’t be mad, smile a bit, it’s your and Xiaojing’s turn to shoot."

"Alright..." Zhou Xueyin moved her facial muscles around, she had to keep a fake smile until the photo shoot was over.

Compared to Kang Siyin, who didn’t know how to smile or pose, Zhou Xueyin and Wei Jingzhu were obviously doing better. The two had a tacit understanding and struck the poses the photographer wanted to see, and smoothly completed a set of photos.

Next up were Li Jiniang and Li Ranxu; these two were practically putting on a fashion show.

Li Jiniang had informed the photographer in advance that they would be continuously changing poses, and the photographer just needed to be ready with the camera and capture them.

It must be said, they really did look like professional models, effortlessly pulling off various intimate poses, and the photographer snapped away delightedly.

"If every couple that came here for a photoshoot could do like you two, we’d save a lot of breath and even water bills," the photographer joked playfully.

Of course, this comment made Kang Siyin somewhat unhappy. People are different after all; she herself didn’t like taking photos much. Just participating in this wedding package experience was already a rarity; she didn’t want to leave behind any unhappy memories.

After changing outfits, they took photos again, this time against an even more dreamlike backdrop.

The photographer also became more familiar with everyone and wasn’t as stiff as before: "Just have fun, I’ll capture your movements! Yes! Like that, good! Very good!"

Click, click, the shutter of the camera continually sounded. What started as couples’ photo sessions turned directly into a group photoshoot, and frankly, the results were better with everyone in the frame.

Changing clothes, taking photos, taking photos, changing clothes, it had indeed been a whole day of hustle until they finally took off the makeup and felt completely liberated.

The girls were all aching in their backs and legs, and the boys had also been tormented enough.

The photographer, by the end, was too lazy to even speak a word, just waved his hands signaling, nodding when the pose was right, and demonstrating himself when it wasn’t.

"I really understand the hardships of models now... I mean, why do I feel that taking wedding photos is even more tiring than our previous cosplay outdoor shoot... Ouch, my poor back..." Yao Shanshan rubbed her own back.

Kang Siyin was so tired she didn’t even want to talk; if you gave her a bed at that moment, she would probably sleep better than anyone. Her constant insomnia was probably because she wasn’t very tired during the day.

In contrast, Li Jiniang and Zhou Xueyin didn’t seem to feel very tired; after taking off the makeup, they still helped others tidy up the wedding dresses.

Zhou Xueyin was also checking the wedding dresses that were scheduled to be displayed in front of Church Square in a few weeks, along with some gowns worn by their own staff.

"Yinyin sure is a hard worker; took photos all day, posed all day, and now still wearing high heels, tallying merchandise, admirable indeed!" Yao Shanshan admired Zhou Xueyin who was in the wedding dress area."

"Yeah, how could you guys work so comfortably if someone else wasn’t working hard? You really should thank Yinyin!" Guo Yu reminded Yao Shanshan.

"Of course! Haven’t you seen me working overtime to get those photos out..." Yao Shanshan shrugged her nose at Guo Yu.

"Ladies, come pick your photos." The photographer had dumped all the photos into the computer and called everyone over to look.

"Can we take all the photos with us?" Yao Shanshan asked curiously.

"Sorry, ladies, but the company rules state that each original photo costs 50 yuan..." The young photographer regretfully told her.

"What? 50 yuan? What can you do with our photos? We own the image rights! Are you saying that just because we paid you to take photos, you now own our image rights? Are you kidding? Who made that rule?" Kang Siyin got furious as soon as she heard the price of the originals.

"Ladies, don’t rush, don’t rush... Look, you as customers did indeed pay, but the clothes are ours, the cosmetics and the makeup artist are also ours, and so are the settings; you guys just provided the people..." the young photographer argued cunningly.

"Nonsense! The cosmetics, makeup artist, settings, and costumes, that’s what we’ve paid to rent! You can’t say that just because the camera is in your hands, we don’t own our image rights, can you? That’s unreasonable! You guys are just... just..." Kang Siyin struggled to find the right words to describe the situation.

"It’s just thuggish behavior... I didn’t want to say it, but as a fatal chain bridal photography brand, these kinds of actions are really unacceptable..." Yang Ye wrapped his arms around Kang Siyin and confronted the young photographer with her.

"But... it’s tough for us too, if you take all the originals, I’ll be the one getting penalized." the other party said with difficulty.

"What’s going on? I just finished dealing with work and you’ve turned it into this mess?" Zhou Xueyin came over, completely confused.

Several people hurriedly explained the issue regarding the ownership of the originals to her, and Zhou Xueyin frowned, "Although we came here for a consumer experience, surely you can’t just take our money for the originals and profit from it, right? Didn’t your boss tell you to give us all the originals?"

"Hold on... I’ll call the store manager..." That young man was indeed honest, reporting everything up the hierarchy.

Soon, the young man returned with an apologetic face to make amends: "Sorry, sorry, we weren’t paying attention in yesterday’s meeting... You can take all the originals, and we’ll also throw in the ampoules used during the makeup, fake eyelashes, and double eyelid stickers... but..."

"But what?" Zhou Xueyin watched him warily.

"On the experience report, please don’t mention any of these issues, just praise our good points..." the young man pleaded with them.

"We know what should and shouldn’t be said. After all, this time we’re taking your money to host your exhibition, and once the photos are picked, make them into an album as quickly as possible, don’t delay the live exhibition in a few weeks!" Zhou Xueyin repeatedly warned him.

"Okay, okay! Rest assured! We will arrange it as soon as possible!" the young man promised, ensuring no negligence.

After the photos were selected, Wei Jingzhu got all the originals back.

They had considered creating an electronic photo album for display, but the venue’s limited conditions that day meant it was probably not feasible to display the photos outdoors, so the digital imaging part would just have to be promoted online after the event.

Without experiencing it, one wouldn’t realize just how many tricks are in a bridal photo studio; Zhou Xueyin and the others were truly relieved that they were only there to experience it for making a business proposal, otherwise who knows how much money they might have lost.
