Chapter 759: A New Interpretation of the Runaway Princess

For this shoot, the set constructed by Tiangong Jewelry was undeniably comprehensive.

To film the products for the new endorsement, they had built a full 20 sets!

Jin Li was quite surprised when she found out.

She had shot so many brand endorsements, promotional posters for events, and both hard and soft photos... she had seen many sets built by brands, but she had to admit.

Among all the sets, only Tiangong Jewelry had built so many for a single shoot.

This was enough to show how much Tiangong valued this shoot, and it also showed how much they valued Jin Li.

For this reason, Tiangong had also prepared many sets of clothing to match the scenes.

But Jin Li would shoot at most six sets, so there might be over a dozen sets left idle.

Once she had selected the clothes, the Tiangong staff went to arrange the relevant matters.

Seeing this, Chen Qin couldn't help but whisper: "Sister Jin Li, don't you think Tiangong is very well-prepared for this collaboration?"

Jin Li nodded, "It's not as chaotic as I expected. Whatever clothes I choose, they arrange the corresponding scene for me. It's as if they've made a dozen plans; everyone looks very composed and at ease."

Compared to a messy shooting scene, who wouldn't prefer an orderly environment?

Just because Tiangong was so organized, Jin Li couldn't help but want to shoot two extra sets for them.

A thoughtful look flashed in her eyes. She mentioned this to Chen Qin and instructed:

"Keep an eye on the time for me. I feel that based on their efficiency, we should finish earlier than the working hours stipulated in the contract.

If we can spare two hours, I'll shoot 1-2 extra sets for them. Don't mention it for now; let's finish what's stipulated in the contract first."

Chen Qin nodded, her tone slightly excited: "If you're willing to shoot two extra sets for Tiangong, I think they'll be crazy with joy!"

The two extra sets, naturally, wouldn't be done for charity.

If you shoot a few more sets, you naturally get paid for a few more.

But Tiangong's shooting fee for Jin Li this time was already high, so Jin Li wasn't here for the money.

She just saw that Tiangong arranged the time reasonably, and she was willing to make things convenient for Tiangong without wasting time.

If she could help them shoot one or two more sets without increasing the working hours, Jin Li was quite happy to do so.

The afternoon shoot was about to begin.

At noon, Jin Li had chosen the equestrian outfit and the princess dress. Tiangong helped her match them with two scenes: one was naturally the horse farm, and the other was a lush, flourishing forest.

She shot the horse farm scene first.

The sunlight spilled onto Jin Li, bringing with it a sacred halo; that was the "inviolable" and "sacred majesty" of a princess!

She wore the dashing equestrian outfit, and the clean tailoring and crisp material revealed her good figure, adding to her heroic spirit.

Jin Li had learned to ride a horse while acting, so after putting on the Tiangong jewelry, she rode a horse in the arena.

The script only required her to ride one lap, and the photographer would naturally find angles to shoot.

Jin Li rode a lap, and she herself felt that the photographer might not have enough footage, so she rode another lap.

Gradually, her riding became less awkward. She leaned forward slightly, and at one point, she suddenly patted the horse's body gently, as if communicating with the horse.

She looked exactly like a "beast whisperer" who could communicate with horses.

The emerald necklace around her neck was mysterious and cold, and the edges of the gemstone were inlaid with intricate silver rose-blade patterns, tightly wrapping the gem.

The emerald danced with Jin Li's movements, appearing to carry a sharp edge during the escape.

Many people, upon seeing it, felt that this necklace was mysterious and dangerous, as if it were some kind of item possessing mysterious power.

Jin Li rode for several laps, slowed down, and slowly came in front of the photographer's lens.

But she didn't stop; instead, she suddenly lowered her head, picked up the necklace with her hand, and kissed it gently.

This action was an improvisation, not in the script, but it made the photographers on site scream.

"So handsome!"

"So cool!"

"It feels like the princess shook off her pursuers by riding, and then kissed the necklace to celebrate her victory!"

The staff saw this scene and were excited.

The temperament Jin Li just gave them was very Slytherin—

Mysterious and dangerous, yet noble and supreme.

Not only the employees, but some Tiangong executives who came specifically to watch Jin Li's shoot were also shocked by the charm she displayed.

They sold jewelry, and this was the effect they wanted!

Compared to using jewelry to set off a person, Tiangong certainly hoped that a person could endow the jewelry with more charm, so as to attract people to buy it.

Those executives suppressed their voices and said ecstatically: "I didn't expect Jin Li's expressive power to be so terrifying. If the subsequent advertisements are of this quality, do we still need to worry?"

Another executive said proudly: "I came in the morning and was immediately shocked. As expected of a top actor, her expressive power is strong!

Especially the dynamic footage; that ambitious spirit seems to burst through the lens. It's a pity to use her expressive power just for static photos.

Static photos are far less than half as expressive as dynamic footage!"

Other executives breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, we are grabbing both dynamic and static this time, and shooting both."

"I suggest taking fewer static photos and shooting more dynamic ones. We can edit short videos of a few seconds to over ten seconds and put them in every Tiangong store.

Anyway, every store is now equipped with promotional TVs. Just let the TVs play these images, so that everyone can feel the flowing light, mystery, and beauty of the jewelry in a flowing state!"

Every piece of jewelry has a different temperament and aura.

But many celebrities shooting jewelry often only homogenize the jewelry, as if it makes no difference which one they wear.

Or they just treat jewelry as an accessory to match the day's clothing style.

Since Tiangong wants to enter the luxury brand market, it must endow jewelry with more attributes.

Not only the preciousness of raw materials, but also feelings, stories, and beauty.

The executives looked at Jin Li's second shoot, and only one thought remained in their minds:

Inviting Jin Li to shoot this time was the right choice!

After finishing the horse farm scene.

Jin Li immediately moved to the forest scene and quickly changed her clothes and makeup.

She glanced at the script for this scene. The screenwriter didn't describe the actor's mood in detail, only the movement path.

Therefore, under this movement path, Jin Li could perform whatever expression she wanted to endow the character with.

She tilted her head slightly, looking at a cluster of beautiful wildflowers in the distance, lost in thought.

After receiving the "runaway princess" theme at noon and choosing her clothes, she had been thinking about a question.

Must a "runaway princess" be very sad?

During her escape, was she harboring anger, sorrow, panic, or some other emotion?

Because the screenwriter only designed the movement path and did not perfect the script background, everything depended on Jin Li's imagination.

Whatever story she wanted to present, she would shoot that story herself.

Ever since she knew that the shooting was so free, she had been thinking about how to perform a "runaway princess."

Until she saw the colorful flowers on the grass, the sunlight spilling onto her skin like broken gold, and also onto the grass that was as soft as a cotton blanket.

Jin Li looked at the lush, vibrant forest and suddenly had the answer.

She did not want to play the conventional, widely familiar "runaway princess."

Who said that a runaway princess must be sad?

Is there a possibility that the princess is actually very happy?

For her, running away is not an escape from hardship or rejection, but a yearning to welcome a new life and an expectation to embrace new things?

Therefore, when Jin Li wore the princess dress and ran on the grass, her smile was happy and bright.

She was still wearing that emerald necklace around her neck, but it no longer became mysterious and powerful; instead, it reflected the lush forest.

The emerald also turned into a part of the forest, as if condensing the most intense vitality together.

At this moment, the emerald necklace turned into a carrier of the forest, dancing with the wind along with Jin Li's laughter, full of infinite vitality, as if it could bring infinite hope!

Seeing Jin Li's performance, everyone present was stunned again.

"This is the happiest runaway princess I've ever seen. I have a hunch that once the advertisement is played, netizens will definitely discuss her interpretation!"

"She has once again endowed the emerald necklace with a different charm!"

"Oh my god, where is this a princess? She is simply a little elf born for the forest. I finally know why the seven dwarfs liked Snow White so much. It turns out that some people can really be beautiful enough to become beauty itself!"

Undoubtedly, Jin Li's interpretation once again conquered Tiangong's photographers.

After shooting two scenes in the afternoon, Jin Li's work was finished.

She would continue shooting tomorrow, just like today: two sets of clothes in the morning, two sets in the afternoon, and different jewelry worn in the morning and afternoon.

Each piece of jewelry would be displayed using two different scenes.

So according to the contract, she would finish shooting tomorrow morning.

After Jin Li finished work, she removed her makeup in the car and asked Chen Qin: "Did today's shoot end early?"

Chen Qin nodded: "Yes, you were an hour ahead of schedule, including the scene shot in the morning; you also rested an hour earlier than the time stipulated in the contract."

Jin Li raised her eyebrows: "Meaning, I finished Tiangong's requirements two hours early in total today."

Chen Qin: "You could say that."

She exclaimed: "This is also the most efficient brand shoot I've ever encountered. It's good enough if other brands can follow the time stipulated in the contract, and most of them will be delayed."

Jin Li thought for a while: "You can contact Tiangong. I can help them shoot an extra set of jewelry as a backup."

According to the contract, she only needed to shoot three sets, and there was no need to shoot backup jewelry commercials.

However, luxury brands generally have two plans.

That is, they often prepare backup plans.

So while Jin Li is shooting here, the brand will also find other celebrities to shoot backup jewelry commercials.

Backup commercials are for emergencies, to prevent the artist's reputation from having problems and their image from collapsing when the promotion is about to start.

At that time, the backup commercial can be used to fill in.

This will not affect the brand's original promotional plan.

Now Jin Li's momentum is in full swing, without any black material, and the brand trusts her very much.

So the backup Jin Li is shooting here is not for filling in after a reputation collapse, but to give the brand an extra choice.

If one of the jewelry products set during the promotion period has problems, then there is backup jewelry promotion that can fill in, without having to temporarily dismantle other celebrities' jewelry promotions for other series.

Chen Qin looked at Jin Li and smiled: "I can already imagine how Tiangong will scream when they know you are willing to shoot an extra set of jewelry!"

Jin Li also smiled: "They are efficient, and I am willing to shoot more for them. After all, it doesn't waste my time."

At the same time, Tiangong and Chenxi Entertainment were discussing the renewal of the endorsement contract for the next year.

The general direction had been negotiated, but there were still many detailed clauses that needed to be discussed bit by bit.

So this group of people from Tiangong had already prepared to go on a business trip to Nancheng for a week to a month.

Suddenly, the person in charge of Tiangong received the news that Jin Li was willing to shoot an extra set. During the break, he took the initiative to walk to Sui Lingfang and thanked her sincerely:

"Thank you for telling me before that Jin Li likes efficient shooting and doesn't like to be delayed."

Sui Lingfang's movements paused, and she said meaningfully: "Listening to you, could it be that Tiangong has gained some benefits in this shoot?"

The person in charge smiled: "To tell you the truth, Jin Li is willing to shoot an extra set of new season jewelry commercials for us.

This is already outside the scope of the contract. She originally only needed to shoot three sets, but this time she is willing to shoot four sets for us.

The reason is that Jin Li feels that our shooting site is efficient and saves her a lot of time, so she is willing to help us shoot an extra set!"

Sui Lingfang's smile deepened: "Congratulations, Tiangong has an extra set of jewelry shooting, so there is more room for choice in promotion."

The person in charge said: "I still have to thank you. If it weren't for you revealing Jin Li's preferences to me, things wouldn't have progressed so smoothly. I wonder if you are free tonight? Can I invite you to dinner?"

Sui Lingfang thought for a while and shook her head regretfully: "I'd love to, but I don't have time. There are too many things on my hands recently."

Not only Jin Li's, but the plans for Xi Mengze and Qiguan Mingzhu also need to be done.

Thinking of the other two artists, Sui Lingfang had a headache.

Both are in love, but Jin Li actually became the one with the strongest career ambition. Clearly, Jin Li was the most laid-back before.

These two love-brained ones want to take a vacation as soon as they fall in love!

Fortunately, Zhang Guang also has a headache about the other two love-brained ones, otherwise she would want to grab his artists and scold them severely.

If they don't participate in announcements this time, the first half of the year will be wasted.

The next day, Jin Li spared an extra hour and finished shooting two sets of jewelry in the morning, totaling four scenes.

Similarly, there was no story background, only movement planning was arranged. What kind of story to express and what kind of emotion to interpret were all left to Jin Li's free play.

Jin Li's performance did not disappoint others, interpreting very cliché scenes into brand-new effects.

As soon as she finished shooting, everyone present couldn't help but applaud her spontaneously.

And that afternoon, "insiders" on the internet couldn't wait to break the news. ===== CHAPTER 768 =====
