Chapter 360: Striving for every inch, compressing shooting duration

Jin Li wore a wine-red dress with a small V-neck and backless design. The back was not a large area of bare skin, but used a lace-up form to layer and weave, which was sexy and cute.

This dress was also the early spring haute couture dress that Fang Fei would only launch next year. This was an unlisted style, and Jin Li was the first person to wear it.

Red is a color with great impact, which can give people a kind of enthusiastic, bright vitality.

And Jin Li wore a wine-red dress. When the makeup didn't change, it made people feel enthusiastic, and also had a noble, elegant, atmospheric, and solemn temperament.

But when the makeup changed, the makeup artist specifically made a dark style, increasing the effect of eye smoky makeup. Jin Li instantly changed from noble and elegant to dark and decadent.

Not only that, the makeup artist also increased the shadow on her cheekbones. The sharp facial contours made her have a decadent and extreme feeling, as if she would explode if suppressed to the extreme.

It was also because of the increased shadow treatment, so Jin Li's face looked a circle smaller, which also made people feel that she was forced to the extreme by pressure.

Suppressed to the extreme, then there must be an explosion.

To make someone perish, one must first make them crazy.

And the scene preset for Jin Li this time was that she was tied with iron chains on her wine-red dress. Her whole body was bound by iron chains, and her whole body was stiff and unable to move, as if she were a marionette controlled by others.

Jin Li didn't stop brushing problems while doing makeup. One second she was brushing problems, and the next second the photographer shouted "start," so she was still in the state of brushing problems to carry out the shooting.

After a morning of running-in, shooting again in the afternoon, everyone had a certain experience and knew how to command to speed up the shooting progress.

Every person in the Fang Fei team, after Jin Li's performance in the morning, had already regarded Jin Li as a mature actor in their hearts.

As long as a complete scene was preset for Jin Li, she could express the effect they wanted.

Although there were no special props on the scene, as long as they saw Jin Li's expression, everyone could imagine how beautiful it would be after adding special effects in their minds.

Even the photographer, when seeing Jin Li make a perfect expression during shooting, would subconsciously hold his breath, fearing that the tremor of his hands would destroy this perfect composition.

"No, I don't agree with the 8-hour shooting time!"

In a lounge, Sui Sui Lingfang finally found the person in charge of shooting after inquiring from many parties and strongly expressed her request.

The person in charge said nicely: "This shooting duration meets the normal working hours of the celebrity. We have set many themes, and each set has a complete concept to express."

"You have seen our plan. I guarantee you that the effect of each set will definitely be amazing. Fang Fei also wants to present Jin Li's photos in a more perfect way."

Sui Sui Lingfang was unmoved and said lightly: "If you have to shoot for eight hours for each theme, it's not the celebrity's problem, it's definitely your problem."

"I remember that a certain international movie star went to shoot the first-tier magazine 'Huayun' last year, changed three sets of makeup in 27 minutes, and finished shooting all the photos in three hours."

"If it exceeds three hours, there is a high overtime fee for each hour. At the same time, I remember that some celebrity teams specifically requested that if each set of photos exceeds 200, they are not allowed to continue shooting."

Her sharp eyes shot at the person in charge, with deep condemnation in her eyes.

"Jin Li is Fang Fei's brand ambassador, so she doesn't have requirements for Fang Fei's shooting team, but it doesn't mean you can treat her as a newcomer!"

She emphasized: "Jin Li is a first-tier celebrity, a female actor with 1.6 billion box office this year. Don't you think Fang Fei's attitude is even better than a second-tier celebrity?"

The person in charge had cold sweat on his forehead: "We don't mean to look down on Jin Li, we just want to make the photos better."

Sui Sui Lingfang looked at him deeply and suddenly said: "If you still refuse to reduce the shooting duration, I think I need to communicate with Ms. Dai Xueling."

The person in charge immediately pulled her and said hurriedly: "Don't be impulsive, I will try my best to solve things that can be solved on the spot. The shooting duration is not impossible to discuss."

He wiped the sweat on his face with a tissue and said anxiously: "And it's really not that I want to make things difficult for Jin Li. You also know that we have to compete with 'Huayun'."

"'Huayun' is specifically for magazines. Although Fang Fei is an international luxury brand with strong influence, it may not be better than 'Huayun' in magazine promotion."

"So we can only start from the quality of the photos and try our best to shoot photos of higher quality than Huayun, so that it is possible to suppress the other party."

"We are also sincerely wanting to do this project well, and there is absolutely no intention to make things difficult for Jin Li!"

Judging from the anxious look of the person in charge, Sui Sui Lingfang believed it, but the 8-hour shooting duration was too much for a celebrity.

Especially since she watched for two hours in the morning, it was really impossible to touch fish the whole time.

Although it is said that you can rest for ten minutes after shooting for half an hour, the rest time is not strictly implemented, and often the photographer continues to shoot when he has inspiration.

Shooting for forty or fifty minutes, the celebrity may have ten minutes of free time, and that is still requiring the celebrity to change postures relatively large, and the photographer is willing to stop.

It's okay once or twice, but after four or five times, it's definitely unbearable.

If other celebrities also have an 8-hour shooting duration, she wouldn't say anything, but everyone shoots for such a short time, but Jin Li has to shoot for such a long time, doesn't it seem like she is a big sucker?

The person in charge wiped his sweat with a tissue again, his heart was incomparably tangled.

The magazine department was entrusted with a heavy responsibility this time. This is likely to be a good opportunity for the unknown magazine department to fight a turnaround!

If this opportunity is grasped, the magazine department can also have a name in the Fang Fei headquarters system, so he is definitely more hopeful of achieving results than anyone, even the president!

But no matter how good the decision and plan are, the celebrity must execute them well.

Before, he had inquired with friends in the entertainment industry, and everyone who cooperated with Jin Li praised her, thinking that she had professional ethics and was one of the few dedicated stars in the entertainment industry.

It was also because of Jin Li's good reputation that he set an 8-hour shooting duration, wanting to be perfect.

Unexpectedly, the start was good, and the progress was okay, but the result couldn't pass the agent's side.

Seeing that he was still hesitating, Sui Sui Lingfang turned and walked out.

The person in charge hurriedly pulled her, "Don't, don't! The time is easy to discuss, how about shooting for 7 hours?"

Sui Sui Lingfang glared at him, and the person in charge said again: "Then 6 hours."

Sui Sui Lingfang glared at him again, but the person in charge really didn't want to compress the shooting time anymore. In his eyes, good photos need to be polished.

The longer the polishing time, the more the celebrity can enter the state, just like polishing raw stones.

The person in charge was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, his face was red: "The time cannot be compressed anymore. If it is compressed further, the quality of the photos cannot be guaranteed!"

Sui Sui Lingfang said: "How about this, you go to see Jin Li's shooting room with me. You see her performance, and you will know why I want to compress the shooting time for her."

The person in charge only felt mysterious in his heart. Even if he went to the scene, he couldn't change his decision.

And isn't it just taking some photos? What's so hard for a celebrity?

But after the person in charge came to the scene, he couldn't help but fall into a silence.

The shooting room was quieter than he imagined, so quiet that he could hear the sound of others carrying equipment, and some idle gossip was also transmitted very clearly.

"Too amazing! I have presided over the shooting of so many celebrities, first, second, and third tier, but I have never been so refreshed in this shoot!"

The photographer said while shooting, sighing in amazement.

The onlookers also couldn't help but whisper: "With Jin Li's state, I'm afraid this theme of 【I can't sing】 doesn't need to be shot until night, and it can be finished in the afternoon."

"Yes, it's only three o'clock now, and the second set of clothes is about to be finished. Maybe it can be changed to the third set before four o'clock."

"Will the photographer ask for repeated shooting?"

"No way, with Jin Li's performance, let him shoot repeatedly, isn't this tossing people?"

Sui Sui Lingfang stood at the very back and watched for a few minutes before coming out.

The person in charge stayed for a few minutes longer than her and soon came out, not speaking for a long time.

She took the initiative to open her mouth: "It's not that I want to find fault with Fang Fei. You have also seen Jin Li's work attitude. Other celebrities will be inattentive and have wandering eyes, but there is no such problem with Jin Li at all. She is shooting very efficiently."

The person in charge first said affirmatively: "Jin Li's attitude is no problem."

A celebrity can have poor ability, but absolutely cannot have poor attitude. If you want to be a celebrity, you must have a serious attitude.

He watched the scene and couldn't say with a clear conscience that Jin Li's ability and attitude were not good. The attitude was there, and the ability was even more there.

Sui Sui Lingfang: "So I want to compress the celebrity's shooting time to four hours."

Person in charge: "This..."

Sui Sui Lingfang interrupted: "You are also a person who has followed the scene, knowing that a lot of time is spent on setting up lights, which is a waste of time."

"What I require is just that the time you spend debugging equipment does not occupy Jin Li's working time."

"Four hours of working time per day, a total of three days of shooting, is enough to deal with Fang Fei's three themes of shooting requirements. With my celebrity's efficiency, if Fang Fei didn't require three days of shooting, I think she could get it done in two days!"

Finally, she also used her trump card: "If you can't find a reasonable reason to convince me, then it's better to let Ms. Dai Xueling solve it."

The person in charge was finally convinced.

If he hadn't seen Jin Li's performance on the scene, he would never have agreed to this condition.

But precisely because he had seen the scene and had confidence in Jin Li's shooting expressiveness and infection power, he finally decided to let her shoot for only four hours.

Ruiyu Entertainment contacted the director's assistant of "My Mediocre Life" and finally determined that there was a third female lead quota for the company.

Once this news came out, the artists of Ruiyu Entertainment were going crazy, desperately asking their agents to hurry up and inquire about the news.

Since it is the third female lead, it is destined to have no fate with the company's first-tier artists.

The status of first-tier artists is there, and it is impossible to play a third female lead role. The second female lead of an explosive drama is barely acceptable, but the third female lead is absolutely impossible.

This also means that this big cake is destined to be produced among second-tier artists.

As long as the performance is grasped well, with the influence of the explosive drama, maybe a new first-tier artist will be born in the company!

Such temptation, which second-tier actor can resist?

At least the artists of Ruiyu Entertainment cannot resist.

Not only are the artists anxious, but the agents are also desperately urging the company to come up with a competition plan, and must do it fairly, justly, and openly.

This big cake that is highly likely to jump the class, no matter which second-tier artist it is given to, many people will be unconvinced.

If it is not openly selected and directly designated, and then the second-tier artists in the company are separated from the company, it will not be good.

After all, first-tier artists are only a minority. Companies like Ruiyu Entertainment, which are second-tier companies, have such strong vitality because they have a huge foundation of second- and third-tier artists supporting them.

This big battle of Ruiyu Entertainment did not hide from other companies.

After they determined that they could have a third female lead quota, they showed off to their peers with high spirits, and the only thing they didn't reveal was the source of the role.

Ruiyu Entertainment's "prestige," let alone second-tier companies, even some first-tier companies were very envious.

Lian Lian Baozhi heard this news and discussed it with her agent Lv Shanjie.

She felt that in recent years, Ruiyu Entertainment's momentum in the industry has become more and more powerful.

Lv Shanjie agreed: "Now the general economic environment is not good, the cultural and entertainment industry is shrinking comprehensively, and many large-scale TV series cannot be made. Instead, many people have turned to web dramas with relatively low costs."

"Although web dramas cannot be broadcast on satellite TV and cannot expand their influence, they don't need to rack their brains to open up satellite TV channels, and they don't need to spend too much manpower, material resources, and financial resources."

"The policy set by Ruiyu Entertainment a few years ago is very correct. Web dramas have developed very rapidly in recent years, and their family has also cultivated several second-tier little flowers who became popular by relying on web dramas, and they have faintly had the momentum of reaching the first tier."

Even so, Lian Lian Baozhi thought about it and still couldn't understand.

"But Ruiyu Entertainment being able to win the third female lead of 'My Mediocre Life' is still very unexpected. Do entertainment companies that engage in web dramas now also have channels to engage in serious dramas?"

"It's not that I look down on it, if Ruiyu Entertainment had such connections early on, they wouldn't have to keep doing web dramas, right?"

Lv Shanjie also felt puzzled.

After all, there is more than one family that does web dramas well in the industry, and there are many companies that can do both web dramas and serious dramas. The status of those companies in the industry is higher than Ruiyu.

But "My Mediocre Life" just gave this cake to Ruiyu, and the crew didn't even give it to Chenxi Entertainment where Jin Li is!

Suddenly, Lv Shanjie thought of something and said: "Could it be because of Qiu Qiwen?"

"Qiu Qiwen?" Lian Lian Baozhi was stunned.

It's no wonder she didn't think of Qiu Qiwen. After the turmoil of the leak before "Dream Builder" started shooting last year, Qiu Qiwen has been very low-key.

It is said that she took two more plays later, and they were released, but there was no splash.

Netizens all said that Qiu Qiwen deserved it, but people in the industry didn't think so. Qiu Qiwen has such a relative as Zhong Zhong Wentai, how could she lack resources?

The low-key in these two years is just wanting to suppress her negative public opinion, so that netizens don't guess about the relative relationship.

After the wind has completely passed, Qiu Qiwen will definitely be high-profile and high-spirited.

Lian Lian Baozhi suddenly realized: "It is possible, Ruiyu Entertainment doesn't have the opportunity to contact serious dramas, but Qiu Qiwen has it. Maybe it was introduced through Zhong Zhong Wentai's channel."

It has to be said that beautiful misunderstandings are born in rounds of reliable guesses. ===== CHAPTER 361 =====
