Chapter 64 Chapter 64
"chocolate?"
"eat!"
"Afternoon tea, milk tea and a small cake?"
"I want full sugar and milk cap!"
"Isn't it choking?"
"I think it's all right."
Maybe she went too far in dieting at the resort. As soon as the filming was over and she returned to the city, Cheng Shuyi just ate to her heart's content, filling the studio with all kinds of high-calorie snacks. In order to prevent her from overeating, Jiang Yiyu had to bring her colleagues in the studio to help her eliminate the culprit that caused her weight gain.
For a moment, the only sounds in the studio were the clacking of snacks and the clicking of mice and keyboards.
The post-production work for a promotional video was much less than that for a TV series. Wu Jun even had so much free time that he made three different versions of the story about the dragon chasing the princess, but they were all decisively rejected by Director Jiang one after another.
"No, sister." Cheng Shuyi was watching the video with the same gusto as if it were a blockbuster movie, but when it came to an abrupt halt, she couldn't help but groan. "I think this is a great idea. Why don't you continue editing?"
"Because your brother's shot will appear in the next second. Do you still want to continue watching?"
"Forget it then." Cheng Shuyi's excitement instantly died down when she thought that the male lead was her brother. Suddenly, she no longer found the unfinished promotional video romantic.
Jiang Yiyu was adjusting the hotel lighting effects in post-production. The lights of the Central Hotel spiraled up into the sky at night, radiating brilliance. From the rising aerial camera, they tumbled into the leaves of the sea of flowers, and then returned to the princess dress with a long skirt.
In order to shoot the aerial shot of rushing into the sea of flowers in the clouds, they lost control of the direction of the aircraft the first time and crashed directly into the woven, layered and orderly bouquets, scratching the wings to pieces. They had to replace it with a new one and start shooting again. It was not until the evening that they asked the staff to remove the bouquets hanging outside and finally picked out the stuck fragments.
"Didn't you say you would deal with your drama when you came back?" Cheng Shuyi didn't look anxious at all.
Cheng Shuyi chuckled twice. "Sister, I've come up with a better idea. Once your promotional video is edited and released, no one will dare to delete my scenes. Why should I waste time negotiating now?"
Indeed, once the Cheng family's promotional video is released, Cheng Shuyi's status will skyrocket. She won't need to use her status as the eldest daughter of the Cheng family to pressure others. As long as the director of that film has any sense, they will just add more clips of Shuyi and won't delete any more. Even if others want to provoke Shuyi again, they must first consider their own weight.
In order to catch up with the editing schedule of Cheng Shuyi's film, Jiang Yiyu picked out the shots she was most satisfied with from the massive amount of shots in 2T, and finally finished editing the six-minute promotional video for the Xijiao Resort within a week after returning from the resort.
After the film was completed and before it was sent out, colleagues in the studio sat together to watch it. After the six minutes were played, no one spoke for a while.
It was Tang Ya who took a deep breath and broke the silence: "Awesome."
Jiang Yiyu's best skill is the ultimate picture construction. The opening scene is that the camera is embedded in the mud and sand at the bottom of the water. The suspended particles floating in the blue to transparent sea water rise and fall, until the gentle ripples rise, and the fluttering soft gauze skirt passes in front of the camera. The gradually rising camera is exposed to the water surface, breathing slowly in the setting sun. The princess who has strayed into the world has delicate tassels and round pearls on her dress, with soft colors. The charming little princess tilts her head and looks at the orange and yellow hanging high above, her eyes bright and clear, shining like stars.
"It took us four consecutive days to shoot this one shot."
The sunset only lasts for a few tens of minutes every day, and it needs to be shot from various angles. It is very efficient to shoot all the required shots in four days. The only problem is that Cheng Shuyi has to change clothes and stand in cold water for several hours every day, which is quite painful.
"Keep watching, keep watching."
The camera turned at the boundary where the sky and the sea overlapped, and then fell into a bottomless dark color. The girl's fluffy skirt swung freely in the wind, stretching out in a long line on the bluestone road in front of the hotel in the center of the park. This rotating shot was taken through the whole shot, thanks to Mr. Cheng who took the trouble to go off-road at high speed in the sightseeing car late at night.
Until it ascended to the sea of flowers in the clouds, and the straight and slender back of the faceless man appeared in the camera, and then the little princess's wedding dress. After post-production fine-tuning, the difference between the two dresses was barely visible, and it was basically impossible to tell that the actors and costumes had been changed. The camera stopped abruptly at the end of the hug, and finally a panoramic view of the resort was taken with a fancy aerial camera.
Jiang Yiyu used only real scenes and real shots, without adding any foggy filters. The natural luster is rich, the colors are distinct, and it is eye-catching.
"Do you think we should add a welcome to the Western Suburbs Resort at the end?" Tang Ya rubbed her hands.
"No!" Jiang Yiyu and Cheng Shuyi said in unison.
It originally had the texture of a Hollywood blockbuster movie, but adding these few big words at the end suddenly turned it into a welcome banner for the village. Jiang Yiyu decisively refused.
"But without it, it would easily be mistaken for a movie trailer."
"Or maybe it's someone else's proposal special." Wu Jun paused for a few seconds and pointed to the small clip at the end.
In the beginning, Cheng Shuze and Cheng Shuyi each had their own deep affection, but neither was directed at each other. Except for the last few seconds when Jiang Yiyu appeared and the feeling of real love was created, the rest of the story relied entirely on magical editing techniques and perfect BGM matching.
In addition, as for some issues with the story line and logic, please look at the camera. Aren’t beauties and skirts good enough? Why should we focus on logic? The thing this kind of movie lacks the most is logic.
"Overall, it's not a big problem." Although she had originally thought about cutting out the love line between the princess and the prince, but considering the actor issue, she decisively deleted a lot of it on the premise of keeping the good-looking pictures. Jiang Yiyu is still very confident in her own picture creation, and nothing else matters.
"Send it to their publicity department first, and then make changes if there are any problems." Jiang Yiyu made the final decision, and after a few clicks, sent it directly to the project manager of Cheng's publicity department.
When Yun was having dinner that night, Jiang Yiyun casually asked Cheng Shuze, "How was the promotional video?"
Cloud dining means that Mr. Cheng has to make some free time in his extremely busy daily life to have dinner with Jiang Yiyu via video.
What sounds quite absurd about this matter is the serious incongruity between a powerful business tycoon and something that only young people in love would do, such as video chatting about eating.
Mr. Cheng was on a business trip and rejected all invitations to dinner. He left all the eager reception staff behind and returned to the hotel alone early just to have a video call with Jiang Yiyu for dinner.
No matter whether there will be rumors the next day that Mr. Cheng is on a business trip and still forgets to have an affair with his lover in the hotel.
If it weren't for the fact that the round trip took too long and it was really too late, Mr. Cheng, who has always been a workaholic, would have been so determined to rush back for dinner because of his love for love.
Mr. Cheng, who is now stuck in the hotel and can only communicate with Miss Jiang remotely, looks a little aggrieved.
"What's there to feel wronged about? Do you feel wronged eating the boxed lunch in a five-star hotel?" It's called a boxed lunch, but how could the boxed lunch provided by the hotel to Mr. Cheng be an ordinary one? All they delivered were exquisite side dishes and hot stir-fries. The six dishes and one soup were more nutritionally balanced and richer than the golden millet and seafood porridge that Jiang Yiyu cooked when she got home from get off work.
"I want to drink the porridge you cooked." Cheng Shuze sighed with a resentful tone.
Jiang Yiyun scooped the orange-yellow, rich, and fragrant seafood porridge from the clay pot into a small bowl, a gentle smile on her brow: "Who said before that I was about to vomit? I never want to drink it again."
Mr. Cheng's handsome face approached from the other side of the raised phone screen: "Who? Who said that?"
"It's not you, is it?" Jiang Yiyu moved the small bowl in her hand closer to the camera, allowing each distinct grain of rice to appear on the screen.
I don't know why. They were together when we were learning how to make soup and cook, but Cheng Shuze seemed to be born without the talent for cooking. After learning from her for so long, he is still a novice in the kitchen. No, even a novice would not mess up the kitchen like he does.
Last time, he sent her a long way to the film and television base under the pretext of making the soup himself. Later, it was confirmed that he had hired a chef to make it at home. In the end, he just asked Mr. Cheng to add some salt. Such a simple step could still lead to a small accident.
It was too surprising for her.
Mr. Cheng, who is so powerful and decisive outside, was scolded by Jiang Yiyu when he returned home and didn't dare to say a word.
"Is the promotional video ready?" Cheng Shuze raised his eyebrows slightly. On the first day after Jiang Yiyu returned to the city, he sent Jiang Yiyu to work in the studio. On the way, she was very unhappy about the heavy workload of editing the footage and got angry.
Jiang Yiyun: "..."
To be honest, the reason why she lost her temper on the road was because Cheng Shuze had been too much the night before, causing her back to ache in the morning and she almost couldn't get up. He still had the nerve to say that.
Mr. Cheng was on a business trip and was busy with many things, so he hadn't seen the news about the promotional video. Jiang Yiyu opened the video on her tablet and showed it to him directly.
Cheng Shuze finished his observation with a sharp eye that could stir up market volatility, and then raised an extremely important question: "Why don't we have any frontal shots of either of us?"
"Because we are not important at all. The focus of the promotional video is the resort," Jiang Yiyun thought for a moment and added, "and Shuyi."
"If you show your face, won't you be creating a CP relationship with your sister?"
There are elements of wedding dresses and rings in the promotional video. Once it is released and becomes popular, there will definitely be a couple. For the sake of work, she has no objection, but this matter is somewhat unethical and moral.
"Don't want her. Replace all her parts." Cheng Shuze said ruthlessly, not caring at all that the promotional video might be the key to his sister's career advancement.
Cheng Shuyi's part was redundant to begin with. In his opinion, the promotional video could just delete all the unimportant content in the beginning and leave only the last part where he and Jiang Yiyu proposed to each other.
"This is a promotional video for the resort! It's not a video of our actual wedding! Why don't you just put up photos on the resort's official website showing Cheng Shuze and Jiang Yiyun visiting?"
Cheng Shuze keenly grasped the key point he heard: "Are you willing? I'm going to hang up now!"
