Chapter 55 Chapter 55 Promotional Video

"Promotional video?" Jiang Yiyun asked in surprise. "Why did you ask me to shoot a promotional video? Doesn't your company have a dedicated publicity department?"

The Cheng Group's publicity department is full of talented people. After the resort planning on the land in the western suburbs was approved, the pilot concept film has already generated high expectations. Now is the most important trial operation stage. A few days ago, Jiang Yiyu saw a commercial promotion in the media that was obviously carefully planned and filmed. Even if a second phase of promotion is needed, there is no need to contact her.

"I don't know how many layers of templates the Propaganda Department used in their films. They don't think they're old-fashioned. It makes me sick. The final projects of college students majoring in directing are better than theirs." Cheng Shuze pulled off his tie from under his shirt and threw it on the sofa.

Nonsense, if the film was really so bad, how could Cheng Shuze agree to release the promotional video? She had seen the film and it was not as bad as he said.

"It's just a promotional video. Director Jiang, you took the time out of your busy schedule. Just consider it a favor to me." Cheng Shuze loosened his collar with one hand, which had been tight all day because of the meeting.

Post-production for "The Little Mermaid" was completed the day before yesterday. After submitting it for review, we've entered a passive waiting phase. We have to wait for the review process to conclude before we can even begin soliciting investment and proceed to the next stage of the production process. This drama is a test run, and the studio's subsequent filming schedule will be adjusted based on the show's performance. It's a short break right now, with nothing much to do besides selecting interesting scripts. Wu Jun and his team have gone on a world tour. Cheng Shuze, knowing she has some free time recently, insists on using the phrase "in the midst of her busy schedule."

Don't think that just because her attitude has been nicer recently, she won't care about what happened before.

Back then, he acted like a millionaire and didn't even read her letter. As for those online scandals with female celebrities, just because she didn't ask doesn't mean she really didn't remember or care.

"You also said that Director Jiang has been very busy lately and has no time." Jiang Yiyu sat cross-legged on the sofa, flipping through the tablet in her hand without raising her head.

The tablet in her hand was suddenly snatched away, and Cheng Shuze sat down on the ash wood coffee table opposite her. Jiang Yiyu looked up angrily and met a handsome face with a half-smile.

"Director Jiang is really hard to hire nowadays. Even my face is useless."

If Cheng Shuze talks about face outside, he means his identity as the president of Cheng Group, which no one would underestimate. But at home, face is just a simple and rough literal meaning, and it all depends on his face to make his presence felt in front of her.

Jiang Yiyu put down her crossed legs, put her legs together and placed her hands on her knees. Cheng Shuze stretched out his long legs and calmly put Jiang Yiyu's legs between his slender thighs, and placed his hands on her hands on her knees.

The ambiguous factor increased and flowed little by little. Cheng Shuze held her palms with both hands. The touch of each other's body temperature was warm and numb. Cheng Shuze carefully stroked the lines on Jiang Yiyu's palms.

"Please beg me." Jiang Yiyu suddenly said this.

Cheng Shuze was speechless.

Their Cheng family's latest S-level project is estimated to generate billions of dollars in economic benefits every month in the future. Before it is open to the public, many people want to get an early experience but cannot get in. He asked Jiang Yiyu to go and shoot a film and he had to put aside his face as the president and humbly ask her for some free time.

"Please." Cheng Shuze said in a low voice without any hesitation.

Jiang Yiyun's eyebrows moved: "Not sincere enough."

Cheng Shuze leaned over and wanted to give her a kiss. Jiang Yiyu wanted to put her hands up to block him, but her hands were held by him, so she had to turn her head to let the kiss fall on her cheek.

"What are you doing? You asked me to do a promotional video and you're trying to take advantage of me?"

Cheng Shuze's laughter was muffled in his chest, vibrating with magnetism: "Jiang Yiyun, look at my face. Who took advantage of me kissing you?"

Jiang Yiyu turned her eyes away and resolutely refused to look at Cheng Shuze.

The naturally aggressive and strong complexion really gave Jiang Yiyu an advantage in some aspects. Cheng Shuze would always take advantage of the situation to kiss her before she could come to her senses. Fortunately, they had been together for a long time in the past few days and she had developed resistance. She returned to the state where she could remain calm and pushed Cheng Shuze away without changing her expression.

"My photography skills are very average, you should find someone else." Jiang Yiyu quickly recited two sentences of the Heart Sutra that she could barely remember in her mind and calmly refused.

"Director Jiang is too modest. Who can refuse a director who has won the Sais Award for Best Visual Effects to shoot a company promotional video?" Cheng Shuze murmured softly as he leaned in close, and the hot breath from his nose seemed to be stirring up fire.

Jiang Yiyun frowned suddenly: "How do you know I won this award?"

"...Have you been secretly following my updates?"

"Didn't we say at that time that we would cut ties and leave each other's ways?"

Cheng Shuze: “…”

During the period just after the breakup, he was indeed in a desperate mood, thinking that they would become strangers and no one would care about each other anymore. He didn't mean to check Jiang Yiyu's news. He just browsed the web and happened to see the award report from a foreign small media. Later, he saw Jiang Yiyu's own message of thanks for the award in the circle of friends. It's not his fault.

"Considering that I was actually very concerned about your situation at that time, can you give me a little more points in your impression of me?" Cheng Shuze said honestly.

"No!" Jiang Yiyun sneered, "It would only make your behavior of not picking me up at the airport seem even more abominable."

"Yes, I am extremely self-righteous, talking to myself, and arrogant."

These adjectives sounded a little familiar. Jiang Yiyun hesitated and recalled them, then was shocked: "You actually watched my interview."

"You did that interview just to show me."

Jiang Yiyun was speechless for a moment. "It was just a casual street interview. The host said at the time that not many people would watch it... How did you see it?"

That street interview looked very casual. Such a niche content would definitely not be circulated in China. She was just talking nonsense at the time. Who would have thought that someone would actually watch it, and that the person she was scolding saw it.

Cheng Shuze could see it, so it wouldn't be posted online...

It shouldn't be. If it gets to China, Tang Ya will definitely tell her. If she hasn't received any news, then it should be fine.

"Ms. Jiang, do you know how much effort I put into suppressing that casual street interview of yours?"

If such a genuine expression of his feelings reached China, the media would go crazy and attack Cheng Shuze. The entertainment media would have a year's supply of gossip and trolling about the wealthy.

"You deserve it, okay?" Jiang Yiyun was a little unsure, her voice tinged with guilt, "Are these words inappropriate to describe you?"

"It's quite suitable." Cheng Shuze looked at Jiang Yiyu with deep eyes. Jiang Yiyu couldn't help but cough lightly, and immediately interrupted him to say the next word.

"It's fine if you want to shoot it, but we'll go through the normal business cooperation process, and the cost of the shoot won't be reduced."

"Of course."

"Let me do the math. Our workload includes pre-production planning, copywriting, and mid-production filming..."

Seeing that Jiang Yiyu was about to take out her computer with her left hand and her calculator with her right hand, as if to draw up a forty-page contract first, this was not the intention of asking her to shoot the promotional video. Cheng Shuze quickly stopped her and said, "Don't take it so seriously. Just think of it as a vacation to the western suburbs."

What do you mean by not taking it seriously? This is Cheng Shuze's usual work attitude. Jiang Yiyu was about to refute when another voice interrupted.

"Vacation? Where to go on vacation? I want to go too."

Cheng Shuyi opened the combination lock with ease and entered the door, just in time to hear the last sentence.

Upon hearing this voice, Cheng Shuze clenched his back teeth and his temples began to throb.

Ever since Cheng Shuyi came over that day, she has become a frequent visitor to Yujiangyuan. She doesn't even go back to her dormitory. Jiang Yiyu even told her the password to her home without any hesitation, and asked Cheng Shuyi to come over and play when she is free.

This directly led to some of his and Jiang Yiyu's intimate behaviors being very restricted.

Sure enough, as soon as she heard that Cheng Shuyi had returned, Jiang Yiyu instantly pulled back the hand that Cheng Shuze was holding, and pulled her legs back to directly knock Cheng Shuze's knees away.

Although Mr. Cheng was mentally prepared, he was still caught off guard: "..."

"Aren't you going to school?" Cheng Shuze used up all his rationality in his life and repeatedly reminded himself that this was his biological sister with the same father and mother to suppress the anger that suddenly rose in his heart.

"Can I take a leave?" Cheng Shuyi tried to widen her innocent eyes. Why was her brother so angry recently? It was so rare.

"I'm planning to go to the Western Suburbs Resort to shoot a promotional video. Do you want to come with me? We can just treat it as a vacation."

"Okay, okay." Cheng Shuyi braved her brother's cold gaze and agreed with pleasure. "Come to think of it, I've never been to the western suburbs either."

The resort opened by her family's group was said to have started trial operation, but she didn't even have an invitation to experience the trial operation. If she didn't have Sister Jiang, her brother would definitely not let her go.

"I heard that you have been idle in Yunyi recently, eating, drinking and having fun." Cheng Shuze said coldly.

"Ah, no way." Cheng Shuyi's eyes obviously drifted away. "This is called combining work and rest. I worked too hard before, so I want to give myself a vacation this time. It's a good opportunity for me to go out and play with Sister Jiang." Cheng Shuyi waved his hand nonchalantly.

For a moment, Cheng Shuze wanted to kick his sister out of the group on the spot.

"Is this version of the plan okay? It was approved so quickly?" After hearing that the studio had taken on a new task of shooting a promotional video for a newly opened resort in the western suburbs of Linjiang, Wu Jun and his team had to end their tour of the world map early and return to Linjiang.

When working with a giant company like Cheng's, one was prepared for multiple revisions in the early planning phase. Unexpectedly, it was approved after only two drafts. This made one wonder what was going on. "Are we working with their publicity department?"

"Of course." Jiang Yiyu nodded without changing her expression.

Cheng Shuze's original intention was to take her to the Western Suburbs Resort under the pretext of shooting a promotional video. In fact, he didn't want to take care of the specific matters of the company's promotional video at all. Cheng's foundation was here, and he dared to post any version of Jiang Yiyu's filming on the official website. In the end, it was Jiang Yiyu who took He Yue to professionally coordinate all the specific matters of the promotional video.

Cheng Shuyi was nestled on the lazy sofa in the studio's small rest area, munching on snacks. "It doesn't matter. Just take as many photos as you want. It's a great opportunity to express yourself freely."

They really don't care about the positive publicity of their own industry at all.

"I just have a question," Wu Jun rubbed his hands, "Isn't Mr. Cheng going to come over to supervise the filming?"
