I've work with countless stars thus far, but this is the first time I've received so many calls from acquaintances who wanted to visit the photoshoot site. Their popularity is amazing. Not just people in the 10s, but also in the 20s, 30s, they had an explosive reaction from them. The 11 youth selected from 101 people. A day in June as the hot summer sun was setting, we spent the leisure summer time laying on fresh lawn. They showed their excited side entering the studio. “I'm worried”, “nervous”. Nervouness, heart-fluttering and anticipation, a complicated mix of subtle feelings could be heard in their voices as they are about to shoot their first photoshoot. When the photoshoot started, the 11 youths quietly spread out, moving shyly when they hear the sounds of camera shutters. They meticulously monitored the results of their first shooting, and did not forget to give each other advice. My question of “how can you guys be so close?” was returned with an answer that overshadowed it. “They have endured the same period didn't they. Even if they have competed fiercely, thinking about the reasons for their actions, they have formed a strong comradeship.” Looking at the photos that came up on the monitors throughout the photoshoot, I thought, as expected, the keen eyes of Nation's Producers are exceptional. This early summer night, the 11 selected people and their still pure, unpolished form were beautiful and glowing.
