Chapter 247 Forest Spirits
After briefly trying out the game that Gao Min introduced to her, Ye Wanxi ultimately decided to accept the endorsement.
The game company seemed to have already decided on Ye Wanxi, and even though it took more than a month, they never changed their minds and chose another artist.
Upon learning that Ye Wanxi had agreed, he prepared the contract overnight, as if he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to deliver the money.
This overly attentive behavior made Ye Wanxi and her companion a little scared, and they even wondered if they had fallen into a trap.
After the contract was signed, the game company immediately inquired about their schedule, their words conveying an unmistakable message: the sooner the better.
Ye Wanxi could understand this, as she had been the subject of a lot of random and nonsensical discussions lately.
Considering the game company's fair offer and the fact that she did need some exposure to prove she was truly safe and sound, Ye Wanxi was happy to cooperate with the game company's promotion, and they agreed to film that weekend.
Beforehand, the game company sent Ye Wanxi a copy of the day's advertisement shooting content so she could familiarize herself with it.
This time, she needs to play a carefree elf princess—yes, the kind of legendary creature with pointed ears, blonde hair, blue eyes, and curly hair.
The main content of the advertisement shoot focuses on this princess, who is favored by nature, walking, running, swinging, dancing, and even shooting arrows in the lush jungle and on the grassland.
It sounded easy, but on the day of filming, Ye Wanxi and the others realized that this advertisement was indeed... a bit of a trap.
To ensure the visual appeal and saturation of the advertisement, the filming crew spent a significant amount of money to find a particularly beautiful forest.
Ye Wanxi was dragged into the RV early in the morning to do her makeup. Not only did she have to clip her ears to make them look like an elf's pointed ears, but she also had to wear green contact lenses and a golden wig.
When she came downstairs after changing her clothes, everyone was stunned.
Ye Wanxi's eyes are relatively long, with very obvious double eyelids. The inner corner of her eyes is sharp, while the outer corner is thin. Every time she raises her eyebrows, the outer corner of her eyes always has a charming look. They are truly captivating eyes.
With the makeup and green contact lenses, combined with her already excellent nose bridge, her features became much more defined, and her whole face inexplicably had a more realistic CG feel.
Even Gao Min, who was arguably the person most familiar with Ye Wanxi at the scene, didn't dare to recognize her when they first met.
"Wan... Xi?"
"Is it me? Doesn't it look good?"
Gao Min's heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively covered her face, exclaiming in panic, "Don't look at me, don't look at me! With your current attire, making eye contact with you and speaking to you would be like blasphemy against the gods!"
Gao Min wasn't the only one with this idea.
When Ye Wanxi came before, a few staff members dared to approach her and talk to her.
Now that she's dressed up, everyone is speechless. Some people even subconsciously took a few steps back, afraid of offending this elf who came out of Conghua.
The photographers who followed were even more excited, praising the boss for his discerning eye and feeling their inspiration surge. They immediately announced the start of the shoot.
Walking and running through the jungle is not difficult, and the swing was set up overnight, just waiting for Ye Wanxi, the protagonist, to come and enjoy it.
The challenge was that the photographers wanted to capture the kind of dynamic beauty that blends with the natural scenery, so they even caught a cage full of colorful butterflies.
Imagine that when Ye Wanxi runs, spins, or even swings on the swing, she can chase butterflies over, adding a touch of fantasy.
"..."
When Ye Wanxi and her companion saw the cage full of butterflies fluttering around like a swarm of moths, their first thought was...
"Your boss probably watched Wanxi's previous variety show, which is why he's so determined to have her endorse your game, right?"
The planning department member who came with the filming crew chuckled sheepishly, "We didn't know at first, but then we got interested in Miss Ye's image and did some research..."
Several photographers nodded in agreement: "The episode where Miss Ye went to the zoo was really full of high-energy moments. Especially that 'Hundred Years of Phoenix' scene, I've never seen such a shocking scene. It's a real pity I wasn't there at the time, otherwise I could have taken a hundred or eighty photos of that scene in no time. I could even edit them and submit them to an international competition to scare those foreigners who have never seen the world."
"You talk like you've seen it all before. That kind of scene is something you can only come across once in a lifetime, okay? But Miss Ye was able to attract so many birds last time, I wonder if you can attract these butterflies this time too?"
These words struck a chord with everyone present, and instantly all eyes turned to Ye Wanxi.
"..."
Ye Wanxi felt a chill run down her spine from being stared at: "Um, I'll give it a try, but I might not succeed. Don't be disappointed if I fail."
"No, no." Everyone watched with shining eyes as Ye Wanxi walked to the swing not far away, sat down, and hurriedly opened the cage containing the butterflies.
At first, the butterflies in the cage didn't know to fly out, but as soon as Ye Wanxi's swing swung, the butterflies, which had only lazily moved their wings, suddenly seemed to be guided by something and rushed out of the cage.
"Absolutely amazing! Wanxi, keep this up! Quick, quick, all cameras, keep shooting! Get me a 360-degree shot from every angle!"
"Alright, alright, that's enough for the swing part. Run, run, and let the butterflies follow you. Yes, that's it, very good, very good."
Several assistants from the production crew who were standing nearby with Gao Min couldn't help but whisper among themselves as they watched this scene.
"Seeing is believing, and I was really impressed by that variety show. I thought it was amazing, but it felt a bit unreal through the screen. I never imagined it would actually be real!"
"To be honest, before today, I thought those were photoshopped. After all, who's that kind of person who can make so many animals like them? When I came over just now, I was discussing this with Sister Yang, and we both thought those videos were most likely fabricated. But we were proven wrong in less than an hour. Ouch, that really hurt!"
Gao Min listened intently to their discussion, secretly feeling quite pleased with herself.
Ha, you know nothing about the mysterious power of my artists!
"Pfft, seeing these butterflies reminds me that the earliest plan of the planning team was to photograph fireflies, right? Because fireflies fly relatively slowly, don't move much, are easy to control, and at night they cluster together, flashing with beautiful fluorescence. Later, it seems that it was canceled due to considerations of lighting and nighttime safety."
Gao Min paused for a moment, silently imagining Ye Wanxi covered in fireflies, transforming into a little luminous person in the night.
I was so scared I shivered. There was no need for that!
