Chapter 742 This is called being prepared for a rainy day
She swallowed her words and silently accepted it all.
A short while later, a staff member knocked on the door: "Brother Tong, the set is finished, we can start filming."
Liu Tong gave an OK sign and smiled as she called to Wang Ziyu, "Let's go, Ziyu. Isn't the script much simpler after the changes? Perform well in a bit."
Wang Ziyu forced a smile.
Good acting?
Where is there any room for her to perform with those few lines?
Upon arriving at the film set, everything was ready. Liu Tong clapped his hands and walked confidently to the center of the set, loudly announcing, "The director isn't here this morning, so I'll be filming the morning scenes. Thank you all for your cooperation, and let's finish filming as soon as possible to wrap up."
It's standard practice for assistant directors to film on behalf of the crew. They usually film according to the script and the director checks it out at the end as long as there are no problems.
Even if there are problems, the footage can be removed and reshot, which greatly reduces the director's workload.
"Someone as charismatic as Director Li An would actually have someone else film for him?" Tan Yue couldn't help but mutter under his breath upon seeing this.
Shen Li pursed her lips, clearly also a little surprised.
"Ah Li, it's your scene, get ready."
"Chang Erke'er, turn on the snow machine now, pull up a long shot from the snowy sky and slowly descend to the playground, the bell rings for the end of get out of class."
"The extras start to pour out, and Ali comes out with the flow of people. Camera number two cuts to a close-up of Ali's face, and then follows the script. When the scene arrives, cut out Ali's last line. Do you understand?"
Liu Tong carefully explained the play. As Li An's assistant director, his professionalism was evident from the moment he opened his mouth, and he explained each shot and step clearly and concisely.
Everyone nodded in agreement: "Got it, Brother Tong."
The stagehand yelled, "Everyone, quiet down!"
As soon as the camera started rolling, the scene instantly went into filming mode. Everyone fell silent as the snow machine whipped up a flurry of snowflakes.
Glory was excited and subconsciously took out his phone to record a video, but before he could raise it, someone reached out and pressed it down.
He turned his head and saw Wang Ziyu shaking her head slightly at him, clearly indicating that he could not take pictures.
Glory nodded in understanding and gave an OK sign to indicate that he understood.
"Click!"
As Liu Tong shouted "Cut!", he poked his head out from behind the machine and clapped his hands: "Not bad, Ali, let's do it again."
Because the assistant director was in charge of filming, Liu Tong would usually shoot a single shot two or three times. Even if he was satisfied with the first take, he would still shoot two more takes to reduce the chance of making a mistake and ensure that the director could choose the one he was satisfied with.
Shen Li nodded, and all the actors began to take their positions again.
During this brief moment, Xu Ke'er noticed Wang Ziyu not far away. She was staring blankly into space, looking as if she had something on her mind.
Xu Ke'er curled her lips into a smile, put on her coat, and walked over.
"Hello, beautiful lady."
"Teacher Ke'er." Wang Ziyu stood up straight to greet her when she saw that it was Xu Ke'er.
Xu Ke'er scrutinized her face, which required no makeup, a meaningful look creeping into her eyes: "I noticed there were some changes to our previous scenes. What about your lines?"
Wang Ziyu lowered her eyes and explained truthfully: "Teacher Liu Tong said he made some changes, deleting some unnecessary ones and leaving some for you to discuss."
"Huh?" Xu Ke'er looked surprised and asked with feigned concern, "Can you adapt to this last-minute change?"
"I can do it, I will play Teacher Ke'er well."
Xu Ke'er smiled slightly: "As actors, we ultimately serve the script. Since the screenwriter made these changes, they must have their professional considerations. We just need to do our job well."
"Yes, I understand, thank you, Teacher Ke'er."
"Good luck later!"
After saying that, Xu Ke'er turned around, her expression changing instantly, a sneer tinged with a hint of triumph.
Yes, what's the use of just being pretty?

That day, Shen Yingying finally came to her sister's company. She had promised to come and help when Guangrong went abroad with Ali.
Shen Jingjing took her younger sister on a tour of the company, visiting each department.
“Our company is not big, and our business is currently concentrated in the two central areas of Longcheng. Precisely because the company is small, the work of each department is not too heavy. After all, our company currently only provides cleaning services and has not yet expanded into other businesses.”
Specialization and excellence are what "Pure Realm" and Shen Jingjing pursue.
Shen Yingying looked around. She couldn't go to the finance department; she didn't know how to do the accounting. She wasn't too good at the after-sales department either; she had a bit of a short temper.
The operations department is too professional, and she knows absolutely nothing about it.
"Sister, your company is too professional. I'm afraid I can't be of much help. How about you let me do the cleaning?" Shen Yingying couldn't help but say.
Shen Jingjing laughed upon hearing this: "What are you saying? Would I let you work as a cleaner in my company? If I'm bringing you here, there must be a reason for it."
As she spoke, she led Shen Yingying to Tao Fei's office.
"Sister Jingjing." Tao Fei quickly stood up to greet Shen Jingjing when he saw her. He had also met Shen Yingying before and knew that she was Sister Jingjing's younger sister.
"This is Manager Tao, who is currently in charge of the company's branch." Shen Jingjing introduced Tao Fei to Shen Yingying: "Manager Tao is my business partner, and he has helped me a lot from the very beginning."
Upon hearing this, Tao Fei quickly smiled modestly and said, "Sister Jingjing, please don't say that. I was unemployed at the time, and without you, I wouldn't know where to find a job."
“You should have met my sister before.” Shen Jingjing instructed Tao Fei, “I want her to stay at the company to help me in the future, but she has no experience and probably doesn’t know anything about it. Manager Tao, could you please help me train her?”
“Okay, no problem, leave it to me, Sister Jingjing.” Tao Fei nodded readily.
Shen Yingying listened ambiguously from the side, then blinked at her sister and asked, "Sis, what do you want me to learn from Manager Tao?"
"Study management, what else?"
"Management? Me? Who can I manage?" Shen Yingying instinctively resisted. She had never been a leader since she was a child, and she only managed her husband and children at home.
She has no idea how to manage others.
"It's not about letting you manage anyone," Shen Jingjing said, both amused and exasperated. "It's about letting you follow Manager Tao to understand how the company operates and what your daily work as a person in charge entails. It's okay if you don't understand yet; you can learn slowly. If you're quick, it'll take two or three months, or even half a year if you're slow."
“I didn’t know anything at first either, and it was Manager Tao who taught me. He’s very experienced.”
"Because we only have two stores right now, I'm in charge of the main store and Manager Tao is in charge of the branch stores. I'm thinking of opening a third store in the second half of the year, and then I'll have you go there to be in charge. I'm just being prepared for the future and training you first. Just focus on learning and don't think about anything else."
