At 5:30 in the morning in Hangzhou, the sky was just covered with a veil of gray, and Tong Kasha was already riding a shared bicycle to the studio in Binjiang District. There are two bags in the basket of the car - a black backpack stuffed with a laptop and accounting documents, and a beige canvas bag containing contact lenses, makeup remover wipes for shooting, and a half-eaten piece of whole-wheat bread.
The studio is in a cultural and creative park that has been transformed from an old factory. When you push open the rusty iron door, it's already dazzlingly bright inside. "Sister Kasha, you're here!" Assistant Xiao Zhou ran over holding up a teal-colored improved skirt made in Song Dynasty. "The model of the 'Yanliu Ferry' set mentioned yesterday cannot come at the moment. The boss asked you to take over for re-shooting, and you have to rush for the 10 a. M. Release link."
Tong Kasha nodded and went to the dressing room to change clothes without saying anything. She has been a Taobao model for three years. From the beginning, she only shot basic T-shirts, and now she is able to take high-end orders in the Chinese style and affordable luxury categories. She relies on "not being picky and being able to deal with emergencies." She put on her skirt and sat in front of the makeup mirror. The makeup artist was applying eyebrows to her. Her phone vibrated on the dressing table. It was a voice from her part-time accountant client, Boss Zhang: "Kasha, can you give me the quarterly report I asked you to calculate last time? I need to show it to shareholders this afternoon. Urgent!"
