【New Red Mansion】Perfect World

Episode 101 Pure and natural, unpretentious, as if born for the camera

Li Shuirong felt a little uncomfortable being held in his arms. He paused for a moment, carefully held Lin Pin'er's hand, and signaled King to lead the way.

As soon as they entered the conference room, He Yichen, who was pacing back and forth, immediately stopped and looked up at the two of them. He stared at them like a wolf that had been hungry for a long time, as if he had seen his prey.

"Director He, I picked these two for you." King knew there was a play as soon as he saw the look in his eyes.

Pin'er felt a little uncomfortable being stared at like this, she looked at Shui Rong with a look of seeking help, but Shui Rong gave her a look of don't worry.

In an instant, the look between the two touched He Yichen. It even gave him a lot of inspiration, including how to shoot and how to move the camera. He immediately figured out how to shoot and move the camera. His previous anxiety also disappeared immediately.

He hurriedly urged, "That's the feeling. Go and try out the lens quickly and take the final makeup photo."

Shui Rong stood there motionless, looking for King, and then whispered: "What do you mean? The interview is over already? Did you use any backdoor? We haven't even introduced ourselves yet." Shui Rong had made some plans in the car before coming here. He knew that this kind of interview required self-introduction and display of talents, and he even thought about what to say for a while.

King immediately turned around and happily led them to the studio, saying as they walked, "I didn't do anything. Director He wants someone who can bring him inspiration. He doesn't even have a specific script when shooting MVs. Everything depends on the actors to give him inspiration. He doesn't know what to shoot until the shooting starts."

Shui Rong stopped again and said, "That won't do. My little girl won't take any messy photos. She is a lady from a famous family. Not to mention that her family doesn't agree, I can't agree to it either."

King immediately smiled and consoled her, "I don't know what the filming is about, but I can guarantee that it's not messy. You guys are going to show the innocent first love on campus, how can there be any mess? Besides, it won't pass the review if it's messy!"

Shui Rong believed him for the time being and observed carefully.

They were taken to a large studio where a ballad by Tina was playing. A set of white high-legged tables and chairs were placed under a large white backdrop.

King first took the two of them to the dressing room in the studio suite and arranged for two makeup artists to come in and do their makeup.

Shui Rong took the opportunity to ask Pin'er: "If you feel bad, tell me, we can leave anytime."

Pin'er was very quiet. She felt that everything was new and the interview went smoothly. She didn't think anything was wrong. She just nodded to Shui Rong.

Two makeup artists, a man and a woman, came in. Shui Rong asked the girl to do makeup for Pin'er, while the boy did makeup for himself.

The makeup was very light, just a base application to cover the oily shine on their faces to match the lighting during shooting, and there were almost no other changes.

After quickly putting on their makeup, the two were taken back to the studio.

He Yichen was already standing in front of the computer behind the camera, and an assistant came over to give the two of them instructions:

"After the shooting starts, you just need to introduce yourself: Hello, my name is so-and-so. That's it. Turn left 45 degrees, then right 45 degrees. Step back and turn around towards the camera, then walk in front of the camera. Try to avoid blinking during the whole process, and just smile naturally. I will also be there to guide you in a while." The assistant was very friendly and demonstrated to the two people as he spoke.

Pin'er nodded to show that she understood. Shui Rong felt relieved when he saw that she was not at all nervous. Instead, he was a little nervous.

When the filming officially started, the music stopped. Lin Pin'er was taken to a fixed position under the white background and prompted to show it to the camera. The assistant stepped aside to assist.

The cameraman adjusted the position of the front light according to her body shape, and when everything was ready, He Yichen gave the order to start.

Lin Pin'er calmly introduced herself to the camera: "Hello, my name is Lin Pin'er." Then she turned left, then right, then stepped back, turned around, and then took two steps forward. It took only a dozen seconds to complete the audition.

He Yichen looked at the feedback on the computer with great satisfaction, then made some freeze frames and recorded something on the large freeze board next to him.

Shui Rong couldn't help but watch the playback on the computer. Her frown looked extremely photogenic, pure and natural without a trace of affectation, as if she was born for the camera.

He Yichen recorded it here and told Shui Rong to change it. Shui Rong started to get nervous again. But fortunately, Pin'er took the photo first, and her every smile and frown was imprinted in Shui Rong's mind. He just had to follow it once.

It’s just that Shui Rong’s expression was a little stiff, so we had to shoot it three times before it was acceptable.

Next, the assistant arranged for the two to sit at the high chairs and tables, gave them a magazine, and then said:

"After a while, you can study like you normally would in the classroom. You can set up a scenario: for example, one person explains a question to another, or friends share something interesting with each other. You don't need to look at the camera, and it should feel like you're alone. The more natural it is, the better."

Pin'er noticed Shui Rong's nervousness and teased him: "We are most familiar with this, right, Teacher Li!"

Shui Rong immediately had a picture in his mind. This kind of scene must have happened countless times. He was the best at it.

At this time, the music sounded again. He Yichen arranged for them to sit over there, without filming first. He just instructed them to adjust the lighting. Then he let them listen to the music and feel the atmosphere.

In fact, I had already been filming secretly, but I was afraid that Shui Yu would be nervous, so I wanted to help them get into the mood gradually.

As soon as the two sat down at the table, Lin Pin'er began to flip through the magazine, and then she really found an interesting part, which she pointed out to Shui Rong, all to ease his nervousness.

When the shooting officially started, the two of them had already entered the atmosphere just now. In addition, they looked at each other with admiration, so the shooting was completed quickly.

He Yichen no longer frowned, and he was drinking iced Americano while talking to his assistant, who was recording the scenes in a large notebook.

King saw that it was basically done, and then he turned around and left the studio. Seeing that the people who came for the interview had not left yet, he quickly arranged for the staff to go over and inform them that the interview was over.

The girl from before came over twisting her body and said delicately, "Brother King, why is the interview over so soon? Are those two people here?"

King hurriedly hugged her waist and coaxed her: "This MV is not suitable for you, next time, next time I will arrange a better role for you."

"Ah? I'm not suitable yet? Don't you want to coax me?"

"Really, I promise to arrange one for you." King coaxed her and sent her to the elevator. He watched her get in the elevator before returning to the studio.
