Chapter 521: Tempering and Decisiveness

Seeing Jin Li returned to the homestay. Not long after, Black Bear brought three large lunch boxes.

Black Bear not only prepared for Seeing Jin Li but also for her two assistants.

Chen Qin and Driver Xiao Cheng discussed the attitude of Black Bear's filming team toward Seeing Jin Li this morning, changing again and again.

Chen Qin smiled and said: "They were a bit dismissive when they first started filming, thinking that Seeing Jin Li was just famous in name but had average working ability."

"But after really filming, they found that Seeing Jin Li's ability was very strong, which instead made their filming team look a bit flustered."

Driver Xiao Cheng echoed: "Yes, flustered. They didn't have many props prepared, and there were fewer light-blocking boards. I don't know if they can prepare them in one noon."

Chen Qin looked at Seeing Jin Li and guessed: "Actually, the winter part was filmed long ago, but it seems that the props for the next spring scene were not prepared, so they could only keep letting you film winter."

"I plan to talk to Black Bear after eating, to compress your filming time a bit. I remember the filming time Sister Fang arranged for you doesn't allow it to be too long."

Seeing Jin Li thought for a while and said: "Yes, if Sister Fang were at the scene, she should be more aggressive."

Her words turned: "Originally I was going to film in the city. This time Black Bear accommodated my work arrangement and took the initiative to find the crew to take scenes in the crew. Black Bear can be considered to have taken me to heart."

"The filming time doesn't need to be pressed too tightly. Each season's dynamic and static filming can give them two hours."

"When you communicate with them, let them grasp the time, prepare everything properly first, and I can film directly after putting on makeup."

Actually, these should be written into the contract.

But because this filming was a bit urgent, everyone made concessions to each other.

The conditions in the countryside are not as convenient as in the city, and Black Bear's estimation of her filming efficiency was insufficient, so it is normal that the preparation was not so perfect.

Chen Qin called to communicate with Black Bear's filming team. After Lu Wanwan ended the call, she urgently found the photographer.

The photographer agreed immediately after hearing it.

"Two hours to film a season, filming hard photos and soft photos separately. With Seeing Jin Li's ability, she will complete it very easily. She gave us more time."

Lu Wanwan couldn't help but ask: "Is Seeing Jin Li's expressiveness really that good?"

The photographer smiled and said: "Your Black Bear hasn't invited spokespersons frequently, so you don't understand the filming efficiency of first-tier brands."

"However, this can't be blamed on you. The schedules of those popular stars are very tight, which leads to every filming time having to be pressed again and again. Stars don't have the patience to spend so much filming time on the brand."

"Even if it's a big brand, popular stars filming for three or four days for the brand is considered giving face."

The photographer continued: "Take magazines as an example, you know the first-tier magazine "Huayun" in China, right?"

Lu Wanwan nodded: "I know, I have also bought their magazine. Last year, Seeing Jin Li represented Fang Fei and went hard against Huayun."

Photographer: "I was once invited by Huayun to film hard photos for a first-tier star."

"With Huayun's scale, they have their own photographers, but why did they still invite me?"

Lu Wanwan guessed: "Because you are particularly excellent and capable, so they wanted to invite you?"

The photographer was happy and waved his hand.

"Don't praise me like that. I still have self-knowledge. There are too many excellent and talented photographers in the world; I was just happened to be known by you."

He didn't sell the pass and said: "It's because their internal photographers couldn't handle that star. That star's requirement standard was very high, requiring Huayun to finish filming within ten minutes."

"Because that star only gave Huayun ten minutes, their internal photographers felt it was too difficult, afraid that the quality of the filmed video would not be good, cowardly, didn't dare to go up, so they could only find me."

"I happened to have a little private friendship with that star and once filmed a set of photos for her, which became popular all over the internet. With me coming forward, that star was willing to give more twenty minutes, making up half an hour, and that half an hour was handled by me."

Lu Wanwan was shocked.

"Half an hour to film dozens of hard photos, and choose the most excellent ones for Huayun's inner pages. Wouldn't this be a bit too hurried?"

"That is Huayun, a first-tier magazine in China, which has fame internationally. I thought every photo would be carefully carved for a long time!"

The photographer said lightly: "What was filmed was not inner pages, but cover big issues."

Lu Wanwan:...

The photographer smiled: "Don't feel it's very hurried, but in fact, the effect of the filmed photos is not bad, and that issue of the magazine sold well, mainly because that star has a strong appeal in the fashion circle."

"For stars who are accustomed to the camera, the ability to capture the camera is very strong. The demeanor you feel is difficult to film, professional stars can do it very easily."

"So that half an hour is the star's most serious and focused attitude when filming. Half an hour looks tight, but stars can also complete it very excellently."

"If it weren't for me filming, that star could finish it in ten minutes. This is her ability. Her ability allows her to film high-quality photos in ten minutes."

"If the photographer films bad photos, it's not the star's problem, but the photographer's ability is not good. You don't know how procrastinating the brand personnel are on the set; stars have also had enough of the pain of delay."

Hearing him say this, Lu Wanwan suddenly remembered something and said hesitantly: "Then can our props for the afternoon be arranged properly?"

The photographer thought of this and also had a headache.

"The props you arranged are too few. Can you call someone to send them over at full speed?"

Lu Wanwan said shamefully: "We didn't expect Seeing Jin Li's efficiency to be so high, some props are still in production and haven't been made."

Photographer: "... You should hurry up and tell Seeing Jin Li this news."

Lu Wanwan picked up the phone, didn't call Seeing Jin Li, but called the president instead.

The president said in a deep voice: "I have already asked the efficiency of the prop team. They said they can't make it today, but they will work overtime through the night to rush it, and send it to Chitang Village tomorrow morning."

The president gave a definite answer, and Lu Wanwan dared to reply to Chen Qin.

Chen Qin answered the phone and received the problem of insufficient props mentioned by Lu Wanwan.

Chen Qin confirmed repeatedly, "Can the props be sent tomorrow morning?"

Lu Wanwan thought of what the president said and said with full confidence: "Yes!"

Having received a definite reply, Chen Qin hung up the phone and told Seeing Jin Li.

Seeing Jin Li said: "Call Ye Dao and tell him I can film tomorrow afternoon, let him arrange scenes for me."

Chen Qin hesitated: "But if Black Bear's props are still not made, what if the time is delayed?"

Seeing Jin Li smiled lightly: "That is Black Bear's problem. After all, we have already negotiated the filming time, and both sides recognize this filming time. It's not my reason, but Black Bear's delay, so it's not our fault."

Seeing Jin Li could have delayed the time to wait for Black Bear's props to be made, but that was just because she was easy to talk to.

If it were any other popular artist, they wouldn't give Black Bear so many opportunities.

She wanted to take this matter to train Chen Qin.

In the future, Chen Qin can be more decisive and firm in handling these aspects, instead of asking her for ideas on everything.

After Lu Wanwan hung up the phone, she went to ask the photographer again, knowing that the filming props were also insufficient, so she decisively sought the help of the crew.

"Borrow props?"

Ye Weijie was stunned, "What props do we have to borrow for you?"

Lu Wanwan: "Props for filming, Black Bear has some cameras that haven't been transported, and there are more light-blocking boards, and fill lights of this kind."

Ye Weijie thought for a while: "Okay, I'll take you to see, we put the unused props in the warehouse."

"However, the equipment you use for filming is different from the equipment we use for filming TV dramas. Think clearly when you take it, don't take it away and be unable to use it."

Lu Wanwan brought the photographer over and let the photographer pick what could be used.

The photographer was indeed worthy of having two brushes.

He had filmed small short films in college, so he grasped the camera lens, knowing what could be used interchangeably, and what could be used after adjustment.

Ye Weijie chatted with Lu Wanwan outside, and Ye Dao also mentioned that Black Bear didn't do well this time.

"Since it's you who are begging Seeing Jin Li to finish filming, don't let Seeing Jin Li specially extract time to film, and still have to wait for you to make props."

Lu Wanwan said embarrassedly: "Black Bear's adaptability in this aspect is not good. I didn't communicate with the prop team, didn't expect to drag the hind legs."

Ye Weijie frowned: "You are the person in charge of this filming, what's the use of finding the president? He can't stare at the details for you."

"You have to grasp your time, Seeing Jin Li has to return to the crew to continue filming tomorrow afternoon. If you delay here, she has no time to wait for you."

Lu Wanwan was stunned.

Seeing Jin Li only told her that she could continue filming tomorrow morning, but didn't say she had other arrangements in the afternoon.

She thought that Seeing Jin Li could film all day tomorrow.

But she thought of Chen Qin confirming the filming time again and again, and finally understood.

The reason why the filming time was determined so accurately was to vacate the schedule and let Seeing Jin Li return to the crew to film!

She had thought that Seeing Jin Li would be available for filming all day tomorrow.

She thought left and right, and finally patted her thigh: "I will return to Black Bear later, supervise them to make the props, and send them over in person."

Ye Weijie patted her shoulder: "This is what a person in charge should look like."

"Although I don't know why Black Bear sent an inexperienced person over, maybe it's to temper you, but you also have to stand up properly."

Lu Wanwan's face turned black: "Ye Dao, my working ability in the company is very strong!"

Take this co-branding matter, it was also her who pushed to invite Seeing Jin Li to co-brand.

Many senior executives in the company didn't look favorably on this cooperation with Seeing Jin Li.

But the result?

The result is that this bag co-branded with Seeing Jin Li sold out in the market, in short supply, and the factory works overtime every day!

If she wasn't the main promoter of the co-branded cooperation, this time Black Bear wouldn't have sent her over to continue to discuss subsequent endorsement cooperation with Seeing Jin Li, as well as advertising filming and other matters.

Ye Weijie responded casually, not taking it to heart.

"Yes, yes, your ability is strong, strong to the point that you didn't even know the props weren't finished, and you hurriedly shouted for Seeing Jin Li to film advertisements."

Lu Wanwan:...

Irrefutable, so angry!

She looked at the filming scene in the morning and thought that everyone had a clear division of labor, and the photographer could hold the scene.

So she made a decision.

Don't stare at the scene in the afternoon, but run back to Black Bear.

Seeing Jin Li and others didn't know.

After Lu Wanwan returned to Black Bear headquarters in the afternoon, she ran to the prop department and found that everyone was sitting and chatting leisurely, moving their hands while drinking milk tea, not taking it to heart at all.

Lu Wanwan grabbed an employee who ran to the toilet and asked: "I just received a notice that the prop department is going to work overtime through the night to rush the props. Did you receive it?"

This employee replied subconsciously: "Received, eh, are you from the prop department? Why have I never seen you before?"

Lu Wanwan: "Joined today, new here."

She asked: "Since you all received the overtime notice, why are you all so lazy? Aren't you afraid of staying up late until very late?"

That person smiled and looked Lu Wanwan up and down, saying: "So it's a new one. You don't know that our prop department is this kind of atmosphere."

"Staying up late, so what?"

"The benefits of staying up late are good, giving overtime pay, inviting you to eat late-night snacks, being able to blow air conditioning, and even being able to sleep in the company, just lay a floor mat, everyone wishes to stay up late, the longer the better."

That person conversely said earnestly: "Wait a while, just mix by my side when you go to the department, talk less, do less."

"The prop department is an idle job, usually only getting 2,000 yuan of dead wages. Relying only on this job, who can live?"

"We have to find opportunities to get more overtime pay, otherwise we would have resigned long ago."

"Although I don't know which leader you offended to send you to this department, I will teach you well. Why don't you call me master first and listen?"

Lu Wanwan pulled the corners of her mouth and said with no expression: "If you call me mom, I won't punish you lightly."

Just this afternoon, Lu Wanwan called several people and rectified the prop department with great fanfare.

If this batch of props wasn't made urgently, then don't talk about continuing to mix overtime pay, there might be a possibility of being dismissed!

One o'clock in the morning.

Lu Wanwan led the freshly baked props, had no time to chat with that group of old oilers who mixed overtime pay, and returned to Chitang Village overnight.

Eight o'clock in the morning.

Seeing Jin Li went up the mountain to continue filming.

This time all props were prepared, everyone had run-in, and entered the state quickly.

Chen Qin was originally worried that Black Bear was unreliable, but fortunately, the old brand was still very reliable. 【521

Seeing Jin Li went up the mountain to continue filming.

This time all the props were fully prepared, and since everyone had already gone through the adjustment period, they entered the state very quickly.

Chen Qin had originally been worried that Black Bear was unreliable, but fortunately, the old brand was still very dependable.

Otherwise, if the props hadn't been delivered smoothly, she would have had no choice but to refuse the subsequent additional filming.

At the very least, there would be no time to film this weekend, as Seeing Jin Li's schedule was already fully booked.

Two hours passed in a flash, and the filming came to a smooth conclusion.

Only then did Seeing Jin Li have time to greet Lu Wanwan, and she was startled by the dark circles under her eyes.

She asked with concern, "Are you alright? Why are your dark circles so heavy?"

Lu Wanwan shook her head: "I'm fine, I drank two cups of coffee and just feel very energetic."

"By the way, I'll have someone handle the advertisements and stills as soon as possible; I estimate they'll be out by the end of this month. At that time, I'll need to coordinate with your team so you can repost them."

Seeing Jin Li smiled: "This is what I should do."

After finishing the shoot, Seeing Jin Li returned to the homestay first to rest, and went back to work in the afternoon.

Many years later, whenever Lu Wanwan thought of this incident, she felt she had been truly wise and martial; it was a good thing she had run back to the company to supervise.

Because that very afternoon, Fanghua also released the spring clothing collaboration "Spring Floral Ripple" launched jointly with Seeing Jin Li, and the results sold out explosively.

It exploded even more fiercely than Black Bear's backpacks!

From then on, whenever she wanted to book Seeing Jin Li's weekend schedule, she couldn't get a slot.

Because those brands that had launched collaborative products with Seeing Jin Li all wanted to invite her to be their spokesperson!
