Chapter 746: Filming in progress, Xi Sister Meng Ze's relationship officially made public

Seeing Jin Li knew that Yajun Watches hired her as the global spokesperson for ladies' watches, and they made a great determination.

A five-year endorsement contract of over one billion is not something that every brand can take out.

If they hadn't made up their minds, they wouldn't have taken out another profit-sharing contract, which shows that Yajun attaches great importance to this filming.

It is also because she knows that Yajun attaches great importance to it, so Seeing Jin Li also attaches great importance to this filming. She specifically designed a set of emotional expressions for this watch filming.

She also tried this filming method for the first time. She didn't know what

The result was obvious; the photographer for Yajun was very satisfied.

During the break in the middle of the shoot, the photographer specifically came over to ask Seeing Jin Li, "How did you think of using this method to express the watch?"

Seeing Jin Li's way of expressing it wasn't difficult to say, but it wasn't simple either.

She objectified herself.

The term "objectification" is easy to understand when contrasted with "personification."

Many people personify objects, giving them emotions, while Seeing Jin Li objectified herself, treating herself as a watch.

So the watch she wore on her hand was no longer a foil for a person, but a part of the person.

With the watch on Seeing Jin Li, it didn't feel abrupt at all; instead, it made people feel that it should have been that way.

Seeing Jin Li said, "In the advertising world, I heard a saying that a celebrity's expressiveness is not as strong as a model's, because a celebrity's beauty is too powerful, which makes the product a foil.

So I watched many endorsement works by supermodels, pondered how they shot products, and thought about how to highlight the product.

But I am a celebrity, not a supermodel, so I couldn't fully do what they did, so I used a clever idea, using the method of objectification to substitute myself as a watch to embody the emotions of the watch."

Seeing Jin Li specifically said, "This is the first time I've used this method to shoot. If there's anything wrong, remember to tell me, and I will change it immediately."

The photographer shook his head quickly, "No, I think it's too good. I was very excited during the shoot. You weren't as prominent as I thought; instead, you blended in with the watch.

I believe Yajun will be very satisfied with the photos taken. Your screen presence is so good; it's a real pity not to take a few more sets of photos for you."

The photographer said with great regret.

In fact, he still felt a bit unsatisfied with the shoot.

The opportunity to work with Seeing Jin Li was rare, and he cherished this opportunity very much, thinking that if he encountered any major problems midway, he would definitely carry on, and Seeing Jin Li could shoot however she wanted.

He didn't expect Seeing Jin Li to be so cooperative, and the shooting techniques she pondered had such strong expressiveness.

How many such figures can a photographer meet in a lifetime?

He also wanted to shoot a few more times; perhaps this set of photos would be his legendary moment.

Seeing Jin Li smiled without saying a word, not replying.

Now she could no longer easily make promises like she did in the past.

Before, when she was just starting to get popular, she would make promises because they wouldn't necessarily be fulfilled.

But now, the greater her fame, the more cautious she had to be with her words, because they would definitely be fulfilled, and others would definitely take them seriously.

The morning shoot ended, and Seeing Jin Li entered her lunch break.

She didn't go to the hotel, but rested in the lounge provided by Yajun.

Although the hotel was very close to the headquarters, she was too lazy to bother.

During this time, Chen Qin had been on the phone, helping her handle work matters, while Xiao Cheng was promoted to her life assistant and driver.

Regarding this, Xiao Cheng was quite regretful.

She still had a racing dream.

Seeing Jin Li said with a grin, "Since you're my assistant, you'll need to keep an eye out for scripts for me in the future. You can specifically look for scripts related to racing.

I'll go film one for you, and then let the director give you a role as a racer, so you can have a blast."

Xiao Cheng's eyes lit up, "Okay!"

Chen Qin came back after her call, not forgetting to close and lock the door, and reported to Seeing Jin Li with a surprised expression.

"Sister Seeing Jin Li, do you know? Sister Meng Meng is going to make her relationship public, and it's with Yan Xingdong!"

Seeing Jin Li nodded, "I know, Meng Meng told me yesterday. What's wrong? Are you going to handle this too?"

Chen Qin breathed a sigh of relief, "So you knew. I thought I had gotten the first-hand scoop."

"It's not that they asked me to handle it. I'm not Sister Meng Meng's assistant. Sister Fang asked me to join the meeting to discuss how to handle public relations together and contribute PR plans.

If you're not busy this afternoon, I'll have a meeting with my colleagues in the PR group."

Seeing Jin Li recalled the morning's work process, "Yajun is strictly following the rhythm we provided, so there shouldn't be any problems.

Go ahead to your meeting. Xiao Cheng will keep an eye on things this afternoon. It's time for you to learn these things too. If you're going to manage me exclusively in the future, you'll need to know all of this."

Sister Fang is getting busier and busier, and she also needs to cultivate a few capable people.

After all, the development of all members of Pink Girls is actually already restricted.

Being an agent for a mature artist is very easy.

Some mature artists will even dismiss their own teams, feeling that they can handle most things themselves and don't need an agent at all.

They even think that the announcements the agent gets for them aren't necessarily considered from the celebrity's perspective, but are various interest exchanges, treating the celebrity as a commodity.

If Sister Fang still wants to continue developing in the position of an agent, what she needs to do most is not to manage artists who are already mature; that's more like retirement.

Instead, she needs to manage newcomers, dig into their potential, and push them to the first tier; this is what reflects an agent's ability.

Or she could be like Zhang Guang, jump ship, and start her own company.

Xiao Cheng said, "Sister Chen Qin, don't worry and go to the meeting. I'll keep an eye on the scene."

Xiao Cheng is even better at bluffing than Chen Qin, calm in the face of danger, and both Seeing Jin Li and Chen Qin are very relieved.

Chen Qin said, "Okay, I'll try to finish as soon as possible."

The afternoon shoot began.

In Studio 1, adjacent to Studio 2 where Seeing Jin Li was, a celebrity also entered and officially started shooting.

The one entering Studio 1 to shoot was Gu Cheng. He had just gotten off the plane and hadn't even had a chance to rest before heading straight to Yajun headquarters to shoot.

While Seeing Jin Li was having lunch, Gu Cheng was getting his makeup and styling done.

Coincidentally, the shoot he started first also had to show the three emotions of a watch, just like Seeing Jin Li's shoot at the beginning.

He had to show the watch's rigor, absolute rationality, and tenderness and romance from a male perspective.

The wristwatch he wore was a different model, not a couple's watch, just similar in color and style to the watches of the three themes Seeing Jin Li was shooting.

Studio 1 and Studio 2 started work at the same time, one side with a male celebrity and the other with a female celebrity. Everyone was very professional, which made the onlookers very happy.

These people were all internal staff of Yajun; some were shooting staff, and some had come over from other floors specifically to watch.

"One is beautiful and one is handsome, and they have such a huge CP fan base. Is Yajun really not considering launching a couple's watch? I feel like it would sell out."

"How do you know Yajun doesn't want to make a couple's watch? Maybe they've already asked for the two celebrities' opinions, but they were all rejected."

"Ah, why? I see the atmosphere between these two celebrities is very strong, and aren't Seeing Jin Li and Gu Cheng already living together privately? Although it hasn't been made public, the fans all know."

"The usual material is already enough for CP fans to enjoy; there's no need to get too involved with each other in business. Let business be business, and romance be romance. It's also considering the feelings of some fans."

"That makes sense too. In case the relationship goes bad later, getting too involved in business can easily cause a lot of trouble."

"The more I watch, the more I want to ship them. How are they both so professional? Even though they are in two different studios, I can still see the feeling of heart-fluttering."

Celebrity shoots require attention to many details, and once they get busy, they easily forget the time.

By the time Gu Cheng finished, the lights were already on, and it was 7:00 PM.

He turned his head and specifically looked at Studio 2, finding that all the lights were off.

Gu Cheng asked his assistant, "Did Studio 2 get off work so early today?"

His shoot wasn't over yet; he estimated he would be busy until 9:00 PM.

The photographer's efficiency was a bit slow, always nitpicking and striving for perfection, shooting the same angle hundreds of times.

The assistant smiled and said, "Brother, if you asked about other things, I wouldn't know how to answer, but since you asked about this, I happen to know.

In the afternoon, I was idle and chatted with Sister Seeing Jin Li's assistant, Xiao Cheng, and found out that the contract Seeing Jin Li signed specifically stipulated that the shooting time for each action cannot exceed 10 minutes.

So their actions are passing by very quickly. We can do this next time too."

Gu Cheng thought for a moment and shook his head, "The reason Seeing Jin Li does this is because she has absolute confidence in the camera. She can control the camera and knows what she looks like under the lens.

But I can't; I'm not that confident yet.

Rather than suspecting the photographer's professionalism is insufficient, I'm more likely to suspect that my own expressiveness in front of the camera isn't strong, so I'm willing to listen to the photographer's guidance."

The assistant asked suspiciously, "Do celebrities also doubt themselves in front of the camera?"

Gu Cheng raised his eyebrows, "Of course. The more celebrities there are without works or affirmation of professional skills, the more they doubt themselves.

But I'm okay. As long as I treat it as a job, it's no big deal. After all, the hourly rate for this job is so high."

And a celebrity's confidence also depends on who they are compared to.

Facing Seeing Jin Li, he always lacks confidence.

The assistant suddenly thought of something and asked, "By the way, Brother, when I was asking for news in the afternoon, I heard one more thing.

Yajun asked you and Sister Seeing Jin Li if you wanted to launch a couple's watch, and you both refused.

Is it because you are considering the feelings of your career fans, so you decided not to be too tied up in business?"

Gu Cheng was surprised, "We did refuse, but is that what those people think?"

The assistant nodded, "Yes, I heard several people say that, and they even praised you and Sister Seeing Jin Li for having great professional ethics."

Gu Cheng smiled, "That's putting a high hat on us."

He said lightly, "Yajun did propose launching a couple's watch, but after Seeing Jin Li and I discussed it, we unanimously agreed it wasn't appropriate.

This inappropriateness isn't because we are both a couple and celebrities and need to avoid suspicion in business, but because we feel that with Yajun's current image, they can't launch a couple's watch yet.

Yajun's women's watches have just developed, and rushing to launch a couple's watch doesn't fit Yajun's style, so we refused.

We also told Yajun that their current image positioning can't handle couple's watches yet. At the very least, they need to raise the status of their women's watches again, making them an unignorable product of their house, before we talk about couple's watches."

The assistant suddenly realized and said, "You and Sister Seeing Jin Li are quite kind. No wonder Yajun is so active in seeking cooperation with you. Which celebrity would say so much to a brand? They only care about making money."

At night, Gu Cheng finished shooting and headed to the hotel.

He didn't return to his own room, but went to Seeing Jin Li's room.

Both of them were a bit exhausted after a busy day, mainly Gu Cheng was very tired, and he needed to find Seeing Jin Li to recharge, and by the way, share some gossip.

"Regarding the captain dating, Brother Guang only vaguely knows a little.

He knows the captain likes someone, but hasn't caught up with her yet, and isn't sure who the woman is. Although he suspects it's Xi Sister Meng Ze, he still isn't sure, because none of us told him.

As a result, the captain went to Brother Guang yesterday and said he wanted to make the relationship public, and Brother Guang's face exploded."

Seeing Jin Li imagined the scene and felt it was very funny.

"I thought he was already mentally prepared, after all, Chen Lin had already run out before."

Gu Cheng added, "He was prepared for the captain to date, but not prepared for the captain to go all the way, skipping dating and announcing it directly."

"Today, from the time I left the crew until I got off the plane and rushed here to Yajun to shoot, he didn't send me a single message.

In the past, when I participated in announcement schedules, he would send some precautions to remind me. This is the first time he hasn't sent any; I guess the impact was too great."

Seeing Jin Li thought of something, "Oh, right, Chen Qin also had a meeting with the PR group in the afternoon to discuss Meng Meng's relationship being made public. Brother Guang should have been in the meeting too."

Gu Cheng suddenly smiled, "I think Luo Yi's days won't be easy from now on."

Seeing Jin Li blinked, "How so? Isn't he the safest one?

So far, there haven't been any rumors of relationships, and he doesn't look like he has any plans to date. He has already entered the health-preserving stage at a young age."

Gu Cheng spread his hands, "Just because he is too safe, he will get Brother Guang's key attention, focusing on his career."

He hugged Seeing Jin Li and told her about his arrangements after shooting the Yajun photos.

"After shooting, I have to fly back to the crew to continue filming until I return on New Year's Eve. Will I spend the Spring Festival with you then?"

Seeing Jin Li's eyes were watery and bright, and she said with a smile, "Okay."

The next day, Seeing Jin Li and Gu Cheng continued shooting.

The morning shoot proceeded in an orderly manner, and there was no big movement in the entertainment industry; everything was calm.

It felt like the calm before the storm.

At noon, Seeing Jin Li and Gu Cheng's phones both received a "ding-dong" sound at the same time.

The two were eating and opened their phones upon hearing the sound, and both popped up the latest and most explosive push notification on the blog—

#Xi Sister Meng Ze and Yan Xingdong make their relationship public! #
