Transmigration to a Beautiful Man
Adjusting the Mood

“You and Ryan are co-workers, right? Seeing the way you stood, it must have become a habit. By the way your posture is wrong because this is modeling, not the posture of the restaurant waiter that is needed at this time.”

A Western restaurant where you have to work really knows how to train its employees. All the servants stood tall and had an extraordinary temperament, but what Lina wanted was not etiquette and spirit, but decadence and sorrow.

Lina frowned and said, “It's not like that. The photos won't be great if you do it that way. Try to imagine feelings of lethargy and sadness that do not make spirit or anything like that. Don't stand up straight. Actually, the feeling I was aiming for wasn't really lethargic. It's more like a negative, more frustrated, darker, that kind of thing.”

Lina spoke for a while but realized that she herself was not too sure how to explain it.

“You know, like there's no hope in life, feeling like that. A kind of despair.”

Haris understood a little. For some time, he was stuck in a very dark place. She has been in this condition for almost two years, where she is lonely at home alone. He felt tired even when he moved his fingers. Even now, he often has bouts of depression because he feels lonely.

It was easy for him to slip into such a mindset. He just needed to imagine how he was in his bleak times.

The effect was felt immediately. The whole person looked gloomy. His shoulders relaxed, his legs slightly bent, and he leaned against the wall. He looked exhausted as if there were no spirits in his body. He lifted his chin indifferently and asked, “Do you have a drink? Beer or vodka?”

"You drink like that?"

"You really surprised me. I guess you don't drink booze. Bring him vodka." 

Lina actually intended to give Haris a vodka after the shoot was over, intending for it to be a gift to give Haris to Ryan who had recommended Haris to her. Well, he could give another drink to Ryan later. That doesn't matter now. He opened the gift box and handed a bottle of liquor to Haris.

Haris saw it, it turned out to be —— vodka.

Haris went ahead and opened the bottle and gulped it down. Some vodka slid around his neck and settled on his collarbone.

The room suddenly became quiet. Regardless of whether they were models or other staff members, they all fell silent staring at the beautiful Haris.

The makeup artist and the people in the room were stunned for quite a while, and their faces slowly turned red.

The makeup artist offered Haris a seat.

“Come here, I'll apply eyeshadow for you. I'll apply makeup.”

The makeup artist spent a long time putting on makeup for Haris. He was very careful not to lower the level of Haris beauty with his make-up. The models and staff nearby began to leave the dressing room and enter the film studio one after another. When he finished, the studio that served as the dressing room was basically empty. Almost everyone is in another studio, starting shooting.

Only Lina, Haris Reynaldi, and the makeup artist were left in the room.

The lighting in the studio is not very good. It was somewhat dim due to the lack of light from the lamp.

Lina then reminded him not to get drunk. “Nak, don't get drunk. You will be the last person to take the photo. I'll see how they used to be, once it's your turn, I'll call you directly.”

Haris nodded, "Ok."

As Lina left, she also dragged the makeup artist away, leaving only Must in the studio room alone.

As soon as Lina and the makeup artist left, Haris sat on the sofa with her legs raised upward leaning against the edge of the sofa's rim. Haris leaned his back on the sofa, still holding the vodka in his right hand. Sometimes he swallows vodka.

On the other hand, the live streaming variety show Treasure Hunt is in full swing. Many viewers are online watching the live version.

The variety show has four hosts, and four guests will be invited to participate in the game each episode.

The two hosts will serve as captains of the teams leading their respective teams. One of them was a rising famous artist, and he would serve as the captain of the blue team. The TV shows he starred in were all rated very well, and his reputation in the industry was not bad either. He is a national older brother figure.

There was also an idol from a famous boyband, and he served as the captain of the red team. He debuted through a talent show. She is knowledgeable, good at singing and dancing, and has a good sense of humor in the variety shows she previously starred in.

The live broadcast room had a staff member who gave a comment on the side.

“The blue team is getting further out of line. They were heading in the opposite direction from where the clue was located and were about to exit the designated treasure hunting area. Will they get lost?”

“Well, although there are still a few studios ahead, you all know that our program crew is quite poor, ah, actually we are quite rich, just not managed to rent an entire movie studio. Right now the area that the blue team is going to go to is the studio that we didn't rent. If they stray into that area, their team will drop points and will probably suffer a loss to the red team.”

There was a buffer sofa in the middle of the studio room where Haris was waiting. He stretched his legs and leaned against the sofa, one hand wrapped around the vodka bottle loosely.

Haris had never been a model before, she was a little unsure about how to do it, so whatever advice others gave her, she would remember everything and apply it straight away. After all, he indeed had no experience at all!

What Lina said was right. Emotions are crucial to how people present themselves on camera.

However, it is not that easy to just cry when told to cry and laugh when told to laugh. Generally, models will use body language and face management consciously to enter the right conditions. Haris was adjusting her mood. The reason he drank vodka was because he wanted to drown in the dark atmosphere needed in this photo shoot.

Haris was imagining how to display her facial expression when later photographers asked her to pose. As for body language, it will only follow the directions given.
