Chapter 250
Jiang Ning raised her head and gave the two of them a bright smile.
When screenwriters Yuan and Tang saw that it was Jiang Ning following Director Li, they suddenly understood who Director Li's apprentice was and were surprised for a moment. After all, when they were on the crew, although Director Li showed his appreciation for this junior, they could see that it was purely recognition of his professional ability and political sensitivity. When Jiang Ning was on the crew, she did not show any difference in her attitude towards Director Li and them. It was precisely because Jiang Ning did not have the kind of flattering attitude that wanted to get close to them and take advantage of them that made them willing to get along with her further.
Unexpectedly, within just one Chinese New Year, Jiang Ning became Director Li's apprentice. It was unknown whether Director Li took the initiative to propose this or Jiang Ning went to see Director Li privately.
Their eyes only glanced at Jiang Ning, without showing any strangeness. They came over with a smile, greeted Jiang Ning warmly, and gave Jiang Ning a light hug.
Others were also surprised to see that Jiang Ning had such a good relationship with the "White Snake" crew. Their first reaction to Jiang Ning was that this girl was not simple and was definitely not as well-behaved and obedient as her appearance suggested. Otherwise, she would not have been recognized by Director Li and screenwriters Yuan and Tang at the same time.
After meeting everyone in front, Director Li took Jiang Ning to the animation production department. Along the way, wherever Jiang Ning went, Director Li introduced everyone to her, and wherever she went, she attracted attention.
The production of the animation film "White Snake" has reached the end. This is the first time that Jiang Ning has seen an animation adapted from his own work.
The production of an animated film requires not only a script or a producer or distributor, but also cooperation with an animation art company.
The producer of this cartoon is still Director Li, but the chief animation supervisor and director are someone else.
The first thing Producer Li showed her was the image of the animated characters. Taking the target audience into consideration, the characters were drawn in some cute Q-version images. The image of the little white snake was a Q-version little girl wearing white clothes, who looked fairy-like, naughty and cute. It must be said that the painter was worthy of being a member of the national team. His painting skills were so strong that Jiang Ning could not find any fault at all. The picture quality was very exquisite.
Because she provided the script herself, the plot is cute, funny and simple. It is basically about fighting monsters and leveling up. Although the little white snake herself is a "monster", as soon as she appeared in the first episode, she fought against her natural enemy, the eagle. The scene of her jumping up and down while being chased by the eagle is very vivid and funny.
The second episode is about a girl who ate herself and turned into a "little white turtle". She was laughed at by the flowers, plants and small animals who had just gained intelligence but didn't know that they had become monsters. The little white turtle became autistic and cried loudly. When she woke up, she turned into a Q version of a little girl and went to cause trouble for the eagle that almost ate her before.
The eagle also ate the Emperor's Juice and turned into a monster. It can be said that it is the first monster that the heroine fought in the early stage. However, because it is her natural enemy, she wants to fight the monster on the one hand, but is afraid on the other hand. In short, the whole process is full of jokes.
The animation teachers at CCTV are worthy of being on the national team. The cartoons they produce are more interesting than her scripts, and the pictures are also very beautiful.
Because it is made for children, the plot is not complicated at all. It is mainly about comedy and fighting monsters. Then the little white snake starts to make good friends, and her good friends help her to find trouble with the eagle.
When she was writing the script, she added some elements of her hometown into it. Such elements did not appear in the animation in the early stage, but when the heroine and her good friends heard other little demons say how fun the human world is and how many delicious foods there are, they decided to go down the mountain to see the human world.
Arrived in Hangzhou city.
Jiang Ning discovered that many of the animation materials in the cartoon were derived from the scenes of the TV series "White Snake Cultivation". Many of the scenes in the cartoon were directly restored from the scenes shot by Producer Li along the way. Some were used in the TV series, and some were not used, such as the scene of Wucheng Street full of locust trees.
This scenery was not actually used in the TV series, but after watching the materials shot by Producer Li, the animation teachers processed it artistically and the scenery in the ancient city became as beautiful as a fairyland. Anyone who sees such a beautiful scenery would find it hard to imagine that this is a real scene.
Jiang Ning suddenly thought of the cartoons from a certain island country, where such beautiful scenes often appeared to create an atmosphere.
Even the Wugong Mountain and Huolu Mountain appeared in the cartoon. The first scene where the little white snake and her good friends go down the mountain was actually created by the animation teacher who mixed the blooming lotus in Jiang Ning's hometown with the ancient city of Wucheng, and then some famous scenes of the normal Hangzhou city were included.
Even 'Wugong Tea' appears in the street scenes in the cartoon.
This really surprised Jiang Ning. Even though the main audience of the cartoon is not adults but children, if children can feel the beauty of Wucheng and Huolu Mountain and want to come to Huolu Mountain to play, then the artificial beach that Jiang Guotai is still building and some projects suitable for children on it can attract a large number of tourists who bring their children out to play during the summer vacation.
The Huolu Mountain in the cartoon was imagined and processed by the animation teachers and written into the image of a volcano. There was also a little fire demon who wanted to cause a volcanic eruption. In order to prevent the volcano from erupting, the little white snake and her friends went to find the little fire demon. After a fight with the little fire demon, they finally became friends with the little fire demon and stopped the eruption of the volcano.
Jiang Ning spent the entire morning in the animation department's screening room, watching the cartoon "White Snake Cultivation" with great interest.
The teacher from the animation department came in with a smile and asked her, "How is it? Did you draw the image of the little white snake in your mind?"
The cartoon was actually recreated and modified based on her script. Jiang Ning praised it sincerely: "The teachers drew very well. It simply brought the image of the little white snake in my mind into reality. The plot is also smoother and more suitable for children to watch!"
Jiang Ning has an adult mindset after all. When writing the script, although he had made it humorous and interesting enough, he had been in the system for a long time in his previous life and couldn't help but want to add value to his work. This is basically a professional habit, but for a cartoon for children, it actually doesn't make sense.
This is just like "Journey to the West", another god-level animation produced by CCTV at the same time last year. Just telling a good story is enough.
The animation project of "Journey to the West" was actually launched earlier than "White Snake's Cultivation of Immortality". It was launched in 1992, but it was not completed and released until last year. The animation team of "White Snake" launched the project when the production of "Journey to the West" animation was completed. They used the original team of "Journey to the West" to create "White Snake", but the character design is more fairy-like and beautiful.
The director of the animation department smiled and said, "I'm glad you're satisfied. This is a cartoon produced under the personal supervision of your teacher. We have also seen your teacher's efforts in promoting the local tourism economy. In terms of framing, we also referred to your teacher's opinions and incorporated some of the local scenery he photographed into the animation." The director of the animation department came over and handed Jiang Ning and Producer Li a cup of tea. The tea leaves in the tea were the Wugong tea that Director Li gave him after he returned to Beijing.
Jiang Ning hurriedly stood up and took the tea to express his thanks. After just one look at the tea leaves and a sniff of the aroma, he knew it was the Wugong tea from his hometown.
The director of the animation department even asked Jiang Ning with a smile: "Can you tell where this tea is from?"
The teacup was a little hot. Jiang Ning placed it on the table, sat upright and said with a smile, "It is the Wugong tea from our hometown."
The director of the animation department smiled and said, "Not bad, he really likes drinking tea."
If you don't like drinking tea, it is difficult to distinguish where a tea comes from among the various green teas. Only people who drink tea regularly can judge whether the tea is Longjing or Biluochun, whether it is the tea before or after the Ming Dynasty, and whether it is this year's new tea or last year's old tea based on its buds and leaves, soup color, aroma, etc.
Jiang Ning said modestly: "I only drink our own Wugong tea. I've been used to it since I was a child."
As for other varieties of tea, she really can't tell them apart.
In the morning, Director Li took Jiang Ning to the animation department to watch the animation "White Snake Cultivation". In the afternoon, he took her to the production crew of the children's drama "Star Mecha". In fact, he took the opportunity to take her to meet people.
Jiang Ning behaved very well and was very sweet and sweet. When she met people with positions, she would address them by their titles, and when she met people without positions, she would treat them all as brothers and sisters.
A successful person in the past life summed up an experience: "If you call everyone brother when you meet them, you will naturally get more benefits. If you call everyone sister when you meet them, your relationship will naturally be close."
This may not apply to everyone, but it has to be said that it does make sense in communication.
Those under sixty are young ladies, and those over sixty are old sisters.
At the end of the day, Jiang Ning had become a familiar face in CCTV. Next time if she came to CCTV alone, everyone would know that she was Director Li's apprentice, and at least they would not stop her outside the gate and not let her in.
You have to know that CCTV is a ministry-level unit and the security is very strict. You can't just enter casually.
After this was over, Jiang Ning went to thank Director Li and his master's wife again. His master's wife held her hand and asked her to come often. "Your brother is still studying in the United States. When he comes back, I will introduce you and your sister to each other."
The more the master's wife looked at Jiang Ning, the more she liked her. It happened that Song Peifeng was not here this time, and she really wanted to introduce Jiang Ning to her son. With this well-behaved, smart and sensible little girl to chat with, the master's wife felt that she had become much younger. What was more important was that Jiang Ning could always follow up on whatever she said and they could chat very well. She could also clearly feel that Jiang Ning was not just agreeing with her, but was expressing her opinions on many things. That was what she thought.
Of course, there is also a crucial point. Jiang Ning's cooking skills are really good. This little girl doesn't think that going to someone's house and cooking for them is an humiliation to her. She really likes cooking. Of course, the master's wife will not really let her do it alone. She always accompanies her in the kitchen, one cooking and the other washing vegetables, and they chat. The master's wife held Jiang Ning's hand while chatting, and she was reluctant to let her go.
Jiang Ning originally came to visit her master, Director Li, but after a few visits, she and her master's wife became close friends regardless of age.
After that, the master's wife would call Jiang Ning from time to time, asking her out for dinner, tea, or to come to her house to play. Director Li was very busy at work and often had to travel all over the country. The master's wife had nothing to do at home, so she called Jiang Ning. The two of them would put on pearl powder masks on their faces together, and they got along like best friends.
Later I learned that she now has to write 12,000 words of "Star Mecha" manuscript every day, and practice hurdles at school every day. Knowing that she is training hard, the teacher's wife actually made soup at home and sent it to Jiang Ning's school.
The relationship between the two of them is actually even closer than that between Director Li, the real master. They really are like mother and daughter, and best friends.
A few days later, the big package Jiang Guotai sent to her arrived. When she opened the package, she found that it was full of "local specialties" prepared by Jiang Guotai for her as gifts.
Jiang Guotai and Jiang Ning both understand the essence of gift-giving. For some people, giving these things is useless. They just like valuable things like real gold and silver. But for some people and some relationships, those things cannot be given.
For example, if Jiang Ning really gave something of high value at this moment, it would seem too opportunistic. If she wanted to give the gift naturally and not seem opportunistic, and make people feel that this girl is genuine, it also requires some knowledge.
The local specialties are real local specialties. This year's Mingqian tea has not yet grown, and all Jiang Guotai sent were wolfberries, pearl powder, water chestnut rice, etc. If it were not the season for eating crabs, Jiang Guotai would probably have wanted to send her a large basket of crayfish and crabs as a gift.
Jiang Ning naturally didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he saw this.
Jiang Ning wanted to share some with Song Peifeng, but Song Peifeng took a few packets of wolfberries and gave them to his roommates, and the rest were all taken to school by Jiang Ning.
On the first day of school, Jiang Ning brought New Year gifts to everyone in the dormitory. The gifts were all the same: a bag of wolfberries, a bag of water chestnut rice, and half a pound of pearl powder.
The Pearl Factory had too much pearl powder to sell. When Mayor Jiang asked for pearl powder, the Pearl Factory immediately gave him a large amount. Mayor Jiang distributed it among the people, and the ones given to Jiang Ning were all the best ones.
It was the first time for the roommates in the dormitory to receive New Year gifts and they were all very excited, especially Yu Qianqian who fell in love with dressing up.
Yu Qianqian was overjoyed when she saw several recipes for pearl powder mask beauty and skin care on the pearl powder packaging bag.
Especially the whitening mask mentioned above, which is made of pearl powder, egg white, milk and lemon juice, made her very excited.
Her dark yellow skin color has always been a point that she is dissatisfied with herself. She always feels that she is not pretty enough and it is because her skin color is too dark. Otherwise, look at her round eyes, small and straight nose, and small mouth. There is no reason why she would not be pretty.
Every time she looked in the mirror, she thought that it would be good-looking if she was as fair as Jiang Ning and Shen Xinlan. Even if she couldn't be as fair as Shen Xinlan and the others, it would be good to have Zhang Min's healthy and rosy complexion, which made her look full of energy and blood.
She really likes Jiang Ning's cold white skin and Shen Xinlan's smooth and translucent skin like white porcelain.
Her good friend Zhang Min was naturally also very excited.
Egg white and lemon juice are common ingredients and are easy to buy. After the Spring Festival, everyone in the dormitory has money.
She and Zhang Min bought eggs respectively, and lemons respectively. Even Liu Yan joined in with great interest and bought some lemon juice. The remaining egg yolks could be used to make instant noodles, which was really killing two birds with one stone.
In the evening, the girls in Room 401 took a clean white porcelain bowl, used pearl powder, egg white, milk, lemon juice, etc., to make a whitening mask and applied it on their faces.
Even the dark and thin Xi Weilu was pulled over by them. They lay on the bed like corpses, not daring to move, and let Jiang Ning apply a facial mask on them.
Xi Weilu was like a child who was dragged in by Zhang Min. She was dragged over without knowing what was going on and lay with Zhang Min. She was so nervous that she didn't know where to put her hands and feet. Her two little hands were placed on her belly very obediently. Her pair of big black eyes were wide open, looking at Jiang Ning helplessly.
Zhang Min watched Jiang Ning applying the ointment to Liu Yan and Yu Qianqian, and quickly learned how to do it. She took the back of the spoon and told Xi Weilu to lie still: "I'll apply it for you!"
I have to say that Zhang Min is really good at hands-on work, just like when she was learning to put on makeup, she quickly got the hang of it and painted Xi Weilu's little face smooth as if she were painting a wall.
Shen Xinlan, who had been used to using all kinds of big brands since she was a child, watched them tinkering with their faces curiously, and asked Jiang Ning curiously: "Why don't you do it yourself?"
Jiang Ning was stunned by the question, touched his face and asked Shen Xinlan back: "Do you think I need to do it?"
Several people looked at her, their faces pale and they shook their heads at the same time: "No need!"
Jiang Ning's skin is dry in winter, so she could use a hydrating mask, but she is afraid of causing allergies on her face. In addition to her daily hydrating and skin care, the most important skin care routine she follows is sun protection, and she applies sunscreen on herself every day.
Because it was pearl powder applied on the face, such a good thing, after 20 minutes, Yu Qianqian was reluctant to wash it off. Then she heard Jiang Ning say that it should not be applied for too long, so she had to wash it off. After washing, I don’t know if it was Yu Qianqian’s illusion, she really felt that her skin seemed to be whiter, not as dark as before, and she was surprised. With a plain face, she asked everyone in the dormitory: "Look carefully, am I really whiter?"
It was not enough to ask in his own dormitory, he also went to the next dormitory to ask.
Well, everyone knows that Jiang Ning brought pearl powder for them.
Fortunately, Jiang Ning really brought a lot of pearl powder. I also gave some to the girls in the next dormitory and told them: "This is pearl powder produced by the pearl factory in our hometown. I haven't tried the specific effect. You can try it. If you have allergic reactions, stop using it immediately. If you think it works well, you can tell me and I will call back and ask the pearl factory to mail it to you. Don't worry, the factory directly supplies it, there is no middleman to make a profit, and it will definitely be given to everyone at the cheapest price. By the way, if you want to buy some pearl jewelry for yourself or give pearl jewelry to your family, you can also contact the manufacturer yourself. The pearl factory's phone number is on the pearl powder packaging bag. If you have language barriers, you can also come to me and I will help you contact and communicate."
In addition to these classmates, Jiang Ning also gave each of her substitute teachers, department heads, counselors, and teachers and professors whose classes she attended as freeloaders a piece of "local specialty from her hometown" as a New Year gift. Her reasons were all: "These are all wolfberries and gorgon rice grown by our village. They are pure natural and have no additives. Teachers can put a few grains in the water when soaking them daily. If they think they are good, they can promote our wolfberries by saying that they are pure natural and have no additives from Wugong Mountain in Wucheng. Professors, teachers, and counselors can eat our wolfberries from Wugong Mountain. It's because of you, Professor, that Wugong Mountain has benefited from you!" As she spoke, she smiled shyly: "These are grown by the villagers under the guidance of experts from the Agricultural Bureau in our hometown. There are really no additives, so the color may not be as good-looking as the wolfberries sold on the market. Please don't dislike it, teacher."
The teachers and professors were amused by Jiang Ning's New Year's gift, but the gift was not expensive, just some local specialties. They thought it was the unsalable wolfberries produced in Jiang Ning's hometown, and they really thought of Jiang Ning when they were soaking the wolfberries in water. When people around them wanted to buy pure natural wolfberries without additives, they thought of the wolfberries from their village that Jiang Ning had given them, and helped her promote and recommend them to their relatives and friends. In the future, they really received a lot of orders for wolfberries from her hometown.
If Jiang Ning didn't have only one package that couldn't hold too many things, she would really send it to the entire class or everyone she knew.
However, Jiang Guotai sent a lot of pearl powder. She gave a share to everyone she knew, including the girls who had gone to the disaster area with her to provide relief. Some boys also wanted it as a joke, but as long as she had some, she gave them all. She even gave a bag to Cui Yujie, who moved out of the dormitory because of a conflict with her, to her as well.
Cui Yujie was suddenly stuffed with a bag of New Year's gifts, and was numb. She thought, don't I have a grudge or conflict with her? Why did she bring me a New Year's gift?
But in Jiang Ning's opinion, it was such a small matter and she had received the punishment she deserved. She had sent almost all the girls she knew from the same and different grades to the same place, so why should she leave Cui Yujie behind? However, I couldn’t sell all the bags back home, so there was a lot of pearl powder piled up in the warehouse.
On the contrary, it was her behavior that made Cui Yujie feel upset and uncomfortable.
Do you want to throw away the pearl powder?
I also know that pearl powder is very effective in beauty and skin care.
There was nothing wrong with her appearance except that her skin color was somewhat similar to Yu Qianqian's, which was dark yellow, making her look dull and lifeless.
She held the bag of pearl powder, not knowing whether to throw it away or not. She even suspected that Jiang Ning had poisoned the pearl powder in order to disfigure her.
It's no wonder that she thought so darkly about Jiang Ning. It was really because of the two poisoning incidents in the past few years that made students from Tsinghua University and Peking University a little wary. Others were fine, but Cui Yujie had been secretly trying to make fun of Jiang Ning. She used her own psychology to substitute for Jiang Ning's, and the more she looked at the bag of pearl powder, the more problematic it seemed.
She had kept the pearl powder in her drawer for a long time without using it.
But in the department, starting from dormitory 401, there suddenly became a trend of applying pearl powder masks on oneself.
I have to say that pearl powder does have some effect, not to mention when it is paired with egg white, milk and lemon juice. The VC content in lemon juice has a whitening effect in itself. The effect may not be visible once or twice, but over time, a more obvious effect will appear.
The most obvious effect is achieved by Yu Qianqian, who applies it on her face once or twice a week and persists in doing so, in order to whiten her skin and become more beautiful.
A few months later, her skin tone was noticeably better than last year, and it was so obvious that it immediately stood out.
