Espionage: I Have Photo Editing Software

"Last year, two-piece swimsuits appeared and became a hit in Europe and America. Based on that, I invented the swimsuit you have in your hand, which I call a three-piece or bikini. The innovation of clothing reflects the liberation of thought. Just like Western oil paintings and sculptures of the human body, do you think that's sex? No, that's art."

Art is a load of rubbish.

Wei Renming did it all for fame.

Even if it's controversial.

That's quite famous.

"I guarantee that bikinis will soon be all the rage in Europe and America. As long as you wear one and take a picture, European and American magazines will be scrambling to publish it. Your fame will no longer be limited to China. At that time, all kinds of newspapers will definitely call you an international star."

Wei Renming gave a whole speech, trying to fool everyone.

In fact, even in Europe and America, even ten years later, when the bikini first appeared, it was highly controversial.

"Whether you take the photos or not is your freedom. I fully respect your choice. Also, I want to state in advance that I am not responsible for any praise or criticism arising from the photos."

Wei Renming leaned back in his chair, waiting patiently.

"Miss Bai, you can't take this picture! If you take this photo, everyone will think you're a porn star," the makeup artist advised.

"If I don't film, they won't say those things about me anymore?" Bai Yuhua asked.

"If we don't film, at least we'll have a way out."

The makeup artist refrained from saying certain things because Wei Renming was present.

Bai Yuhua was only twenty-four years old and was a popular actress. Although she was famous for her beauty, she had never been involved in any scandals. This resulted in her suitors lining up all the way to France, including many from prominent families.

But once the film is made, given the current social climate and prejudice against women, it would effectively cut off her chance to marry into a wealthy family.

"Ha, what is there to fear!" Bai Yuhua scoffed. "My body is not for anyone else to decide."

Wei Renming neither advised nor stopped him.

"So, what's your decision?"

"I'll take the picture!" Bai Yuhua is a person with her own opinions.

"First, put on heavy makeup, change clothes, and see how it goes."

Wei Renming drew the curtains to isolate the photography studio.

After a short wait, a voice came from the studio, "Mr. Wei, please come in."

Wei Renming lifted the curtain and went in. With just one glance, he thought to himself: Sure enough! Being coy is more alluring than being open!

"I believe any photographer seeing such a beautiful view would be inspired to create something truly stunning. Ms. Bai, let's not delay, let's begin."

Bai Yuhua's expression was quite unnatural, and her movements were stiff.

"Miss Bai, don't put your hands in front of you to protect yourself, I can't take pictures!" Wei Renming said speechlessly.

"Okay, I'll adjust it."

Bai Yuhua adjusted the treatment for about ten minutes, but there was still no improvement.

"Does the beauty of West Lake need to be hidden away?"

Does physical beauty bring shame?

Beauty is universal.

If you can't even face your own beauty or dare not show it.

Then you are a woman living in the old era, whose mind was imprisoned.

Relax, stretch your body, and show the world your beauty!

In his previous life, Wei Renming had encountered many guests who were unable to let go, and guiding them had almost become his required course.

Upon hearing this, Bai Yuhua's condition improved slightly, but she remained stiff.

Wei Renming was too lazy to waste his breath and just did the post-production editing.

The filming ended more than an hour later.

Even after changing into normal clothes, Bai Yuhua still couldn't hide her shyness.

"Mr. Wei is truly a gentleman. During the shoot, he was so professional, without a trace of desire in his eyes. I don't understand why someone like him would design a bikini," the makeup artist whispered.

"Perhaps in his eyes, this is just work." Bai Yuhua breathed a sigh of relief. Wei Renming's politeness made her feel less embarrassed.

The two whispered to each other for a short while before leaving the photography studio.

"The photos turned out great. Getting them on the cover of 'Good Friends' shouldn't be a problem," Wei Renming said with a smile.

"Thank you, Mr. Wei." Bai Yuhua took out an envelope and handed it over.

Wei Renming smiled slightly and accepted it readily. He then put his hands behind his back, squeezed the envelope, and found it wasn't thin.

"That's very thoughtful."

"Of course," Bai Yuhua smiled sweetly.

The end of filming doesn't mean anything.

The darkroom is the final step in determining the final cut of the film.

Paying journalists for their writing is already commonplace.

Giving photographers red envelopes is also quite common.

"I'll get the photos tomorrow."

"Mr. Wei, thank you for your hard work. I will repay you handsomely once I am featured on the cover of 'Good Friends' magazine."

After exchanging a few more meaningless words, the two parted ways.

……

Japan has numerous and diverse intelligence agencies.

Some of these organizations are also responsible for cultural infiltration into China.

Examples include the Cultural Affairs Division of the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the South Manchuria Railway Company (Mantetsu) active in the Tohoku region, and the yet-to-be-established Asia Development Board (ADB).

For example, the East Asia Tongwen Academy, the Shanghai Institute of Natural Sciences, and the Sino-Japanese Manchurian Culture Association, all established with the support of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, are all using the guise of peace to wholeheartedly promote the idea of ​​"same language and same race" between China and Japan. In reality, they are attempting to reduce anti-Japanese sentiment among the people, split China, or even use this as a pretext to undermine China's unity.

Military aggression is indeed terrible, but it is something that can be seen and heard.

Cultural invasion, however, is a war without gunfire.

What's even more frightening is that even after the victory in the War of Resistance against Japan, it still didn't end.

The International Settlement, Huangpu Beach Road, Yokohama Specie Building.

The infamous South Manchuria Railway Company (Mantetsu) had its Shanghai office located here.

In December 1932, the South Manchuria Railway Company's Shanghai office was upgraded to a directly subordinate agency of the president. After more than three years of development, it had grown to more than seventy people.

"Kobayashi-san, both of the candidates you recommended are very suitable. But how should we choose?" Director Sato Jiro asked.

"I think white jade flower is more suitable," said Councilor Ryosuke Yamakami.

"I would like to hear the details."

Ryosuke Yamagami organized his thoughts and said, "Hu Die is too famous, and we are likely to suffer a backlash. On the other hand, Bai Yuhua has a sexy screen image, is known for her rebellious nature, and comes from a poor background with no connections, making her easier to control."

"Hu Die's image is more approachable and perfect; wouldn't it be easier for Chinese people to accept her if she were to represent them?"

"She's just too perfect, so even the slightest flaw in her is magnified infinitely. Bai Yuhua is different; her on-screen image means that Chinese people will be more tolerant of her. If they can tolerate her, they can tolerate the empire."

Jiro Sato pondered for a moment, then said:

"Then try to contact her and test the waters to see what her attitude is."

"Yes!" Yamagami Ryosuke lowered his head, his eyes filled with barely concealed excitement.

Hu Die was already married, which he disliked.

The white jade flower, however, is like a pure white lotus, untouched by human hands.

How could this not excite him?

"Have they started contacting Wei Renming yet?" Sato Jiro opened the document to read it; it contained detailed information about Wei Renming.

"not yet."

"Hurry up. I've heard some people in the Ministry of Culture are very interested in him. If we can win him over, it will benefit both of us. Understand?"

"I'll contact him as soon as possible."

"Hurry up, don't let the people from the East Asia Tongwen Academy beat us to it."

"yes!"
