Chapter 211
The higher-ups didn't have any objections to the idea, but when they returned the plan, they had circled the word 'Princess' and written Shi Jin's name.
Luo Qi came into contact with the first-hand creative manuscript. He had to trust in it even if he didn't in his heart.
He confirmed, "This is what the higher-ups want."
The higher-ups? Who?
Kang Cheng was a little unhappy. He knew that he could not lose his temper with Luo Qi, so he just said, "Director Luo, please wait for a while. I'll go talk to the higher-ups."
Wen Yongwei bit her lips frustratedly. It wasn't like she couldn't act as a poor girl, but if she was working with Shi Jin, where would she be as the champion?
Moreover, this didn't match her character profile. She had yet to gain a foothold in the entertainment industry, so it was impossible for her to break her character profile so quickly.
She looked at Kang Cheng expectantly.
Kang Cheng naturally wanted to fight for her, so he went to make a call.
Shi Jin was also preparing her makeup and hair. According to the advertisement's plan, she would act like a princess. Yao Jiahong had already borrowed a princess dress based on the plan's sketches, even though the filming team would provide costumes for normal advertisements.
However, if the manager was good enough, she would communicate with the director and filming crew beforehand to prepare suitable costumes for a better effect. Shi Jin changed her clothes quickly and came out.
Luo Qi was waiting. When he saw Shi Jin, his eyes lit up.
She wasn't wearing a luxurious dress. On the contrary, it was a simple white princess dress. There weren't many decorations, but the original color was outstanding enough. It matched Shi Jin's age of just 20 years old.
Pure white was the hardest color to wear, but if one wore it well, they could truly look like an angel falling into the mortal world, or a princess falling from the heavens. Shi Jin was the best example of this.
Luo Qi couldn't help but give Yao Jiahong a thumbs up. "Brother Yao, you really know your artist well!"
Yao Jiahong smiled, but didn't say anything. After Deng Yufei's incident, he had made everything for Shi Jin and had thoroughly matched her unique style.
For a period of time, he had had to listen to Shi Jin's song all night to suppress the regret in his heart before he could fall asleep. This had given him a deeper understanding of her mentality.
When he worked with her, he naturally felt that it was very easy.
Wen Yongwei was not done yet, so Luo Qi communicated with Shi Jin first. "What we want the most from our advertisement is a feeling of beauty. It's the feeling of taking care of a woman."
"1 understand."
"Let's try it first." Luo Qi made an 'OK' gesture.
Shi Jin stood in front of the camera. Initially, Luo Qi had thought that she would be a little rusty and would at least need to try a few times before she could get a feel for filming. After all, she was only a talent show singer and did not have much experience with acting.
However, she was a natural. As the camera moved along its trajectory, she adjusted her movements and positioning. She was always able to appear steadily in frame. Moreover, her movements were graceful and gentle. It was exactly what Luo Qi wanted.
"Very good!" The first scene flashed across the screen, stimulating Luo Qi's working state. "This time, you've used the skincare product. It's very tiring to do it in the morning, but you used the Grace product, making you feel a hundred times more energized. Just do as you please."
Very quickly, Shi Jin followed Luo Qi's instructions and finished her actions. Her movements were smooth and her microexpressions were perfect. Everything was great.
After changing a few scenes and positions, Shi Jin was able to get into the right state of mind and meet the requirements.
Yao Jiahong looked at her with a deep gaze.
Of course, this was not difficult for Shi Jin. When she had been at her lowest point in her previous life, how many supporting roles had she acted in to earn a living?
At that time, her acting skills had already reached their peak and been highly praised by her collaborative director. It was a pity that she no longer had a place in the entertainment industry. Her acting skills were only so-so in a lousy film, so who could see her?
Today was not challenging at all.
Wen Yongwei stood to one side, and the more she looked, the more shocked she became. She had thought that she was on par with Shi Jin, but when she saw her performance, she realized that she couldn't act so smoothly and so flawlessly.
Even though Kang Cheng had brought her here two days ago to get used to the camera and set.
How was Shi Jin doing it?
She finally remembered that in order to pursue Chu Ling, Shi Jin had gone to the movies and television shows she was in to gain experience.
With this kind of experience, it would indeed be easier to get started than for a noob like her.
It seemed like she had underestimated Shi Jin.
Kang Cheng was finally back. Wen Yongwei was a little nervous. "Director Kang, how's it going?"
Although he was her manager, she still called him Director Kang respectfully.
"We've communicated. Shi Jin and you will not film together. You will each film your own parts," Kang Cheng said. "Each of you will film an advertisement and in your own advertisement, you will each play the poor girl and the princess."
He had argued for a long time, but the higher-ups refused to budge. They insisted that the Big Boss had approved Shi Jin to play the princess, and no one could change it.
Kang Cheng had come up with this plan. He couldn't possibly stop Wen Yongwei from acting as a princess, could he?
If Wen Yongwei acted poor from the start, how would she survive in this industry in the future? The anti-fans would definitely trample her to death.
She heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing that. This outcome was better than she had expected. Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
She was already experienced at watching Shi Jin's shoot. If she were to film with her, she might be suppressed by her until she couldn't lift her head. However, this problem wouldn't exist if the two of them filmed alone.
It was pretty good to do it separately.
"Director Kang, you're the best." Wen Yongwei was very grateful. "I'll get to filming now."
Kang Cheng nodded at her words and waved her off.
Luo Qi finished filming Shi Jin's princess scenes very quickly. While Shi Jin went to change her clothes, he started filming Wen Yongwei.
After Shi Jin, Wen Yongwei's performance did not satisfy Luo Qi.
Wen Yongwei took a few bad shots in a row.
Luo Qi said to her, "Just be natural. There's no need to be so reserved. If you're too reserved, it won't feel real. You should stop and think about what you're best at. What's your state of mind when you're doing what you're best at?"
Wen Yongwei was under a lot of pressure. Luo Qi said, "You should rest for now. We'll film later."
Wen Yongwei sat down to one side. Kang Cheng walked over and said, "Don't be nervous."
"It's my first time filming and I'm still not used to Director Luo's pace."
Kang Cheng also felt that her performance was not bad.
