[Comprehensive] The Hundred Stories of Qingxingdeng

Chapter 61

The assistant director looked at the White Wolf and Kefir with trembling eyes and heaved a sigh of relief after they stopped. He was really afraid that these two people would be so involved in the fight that they would not be able to hear other people's voices.You must know that after these two people fought, not only did their actions look thrilling, but their own terrifying momentum kept increasing during the fight, so that no one else in the room dared to speak loudly.

However, although the assistant director looked lingering in fear, the director who had been keeping a straight face finally showed a slight smile and a very satisfied look on his face.He nodded to all the people present, and then said to Bailang and Kefir: "A lot of good shots were taken, you two go down to touch up your makeup first, and I will take some shots for others. After a while Come back and shoot the later part."

The directors who can be invited by the Propaganda Department of the Organizing Committee of the whole series of competitions are naturally not unknown people. The directors invited by the Propaganda Department of the Organizing Committee every year are all very well-known directors across the country. Not to mention that each of the works produced is phenomenal, but each of them has created box office miracles one by one.

Such big-name directors naturally have their own temperaments. If the director can make this director smile this time, it means that the filming is really good.

Seeing the smile on the director's face, all the other staff and "actors" who were shocked by the battle between White Wolf and Kefir also relaxed.

After the director's voice fell, Parka, the manager of the W team, appeared and led the white wolf out of the banquet hall. Others needed to shoot other shots.Afterwards, the work became smoother, the atmosphere became more relaxed, and there were some jokes in between.

But the rest of the people also know in their hearts that after the promotional film is released this time, the role of the white wolf in it must be one of the key points.This made other actors who wanted to use this promotional film to improve their reputation somewhat resentful and dissatisfied, and wanted to perform well to see if they could steal the limelight from White Wolf.

However, after the battle between White Wolf and Kefir, it was really difficult to steal the limelight from White Wolf. At least there are so many professional players who are physically fit and skilled, they can fight well. There are not many kefir ones.In this kind of situation where they are fully relying on their strength, if they want to steal the white wolf's limelight, they must first defeat Kefir.

Some quick-witted players quickly changed their strategies after thinking about it, and prepared to start from other aspects.

For example, some people who belong to the mechanism engineer profession in the game began to try their best to use existing resources to arrange organs around them in the shortest time to obtain close-up shots of themselves.Or a player who has the beast master profession chooses to hold a cat in his arms after communicating with the director. When the battle starts, he uses some special small gestures and voices to command the cat to perform meritorious deeds.

Because this is a promotional video for the whole series of competitions, so many contestants are invited not to let them serve as background boards. The director needs to consider allowing these people to reflect their "professional advantages" in reality through some means. So players who struggled to be professional in the game ended up getting close-up shots of themselves.

But there are still some people who are completely helpless. Looking at the performance of other people, the dissatisfaction in their hearts becomes more and more, and Rain God is one of them.

The reason why Rain God is called Rain God is because his occupation in the game is a mage type. Due to the game setting, Rain God is good at attracting heavy rain in the game to assist in the battle.

His professional skills are good, and he is also good-looking. Even if his temper is a little willful, fans who like him will only scream that he is cute and has personality.He has been going smoothly all the way, naturally he will not want to change his personality, and occasionally a large number of fans will comfort him when he hits a wall.

Being invited to shoot a promotional video is undoubtedly a good opportunity for Yushen to enhance his reputation, but who knew that the director would use such a method to shoot a promotional video?

Rain God also tried to communicate with the director, whether it is possible to add a special effect shot of outdoor rain, or indoor rain in the house.

But Rain God's proposal was mercilessly rejected by the director. After Rain God turned around, he could still hear some staff discussing with each other in incredible voices: "What is Rain God thinking? In such a scene, there is no rain at all. There is no way to play the role of supporting the battle!"

These whispered discussions stopped in Rain God's ears, not to mention how harsh they were, and looking at other people, the imbalance in Rain God's heart had reached its peak.Now no matter who he is looking at, Yushen feels that those people look down on him, and he also thinks that the director doesn't like him, otherwise why did the director refuse without mercy?So Yushen decided to do something, he raised his personal terminal, and sent out a message.

After a while, the director who was discussing with the two assistant directors suddenly stopped. He glanced at his personal terminal and frowned, but after thinking about it, he finally picked it up.

After all, the one who sent him the message was one of the investors.

The annual promotional filming of the competition organizing committee of the whole series still needs some investors, including the clothes and jewelry worn by the actors—except for those who have special endorsements—all of which are drawn by the organizing committee of the whole competition. come sponsorship.

Even if the holographic competition organizing committee is famous enough and there are many people who want to invest, considering the actual situation, the holographic competition organizing committee still has no way to pick and choose investors at will.What's more, the director himself is also the person invited by the organizing committee of this series of competitions to shoot, not the decision maker of the organizing committee.

He saw that some investors sent him information, and it was a very natural choice to pick it up.

But after the director got through the message, he regretted it not long after. In the eyes of others, he saw the director who was not easy to get in touch with.Many of the actors and contestants who were chatting happily closed their mouths and secretly glanced at the director, wanting to know if something happened.

They waited for a while, and the person on the director's personal terminal seemed to have cut off the message before the director had finished speaking.He raised his eyes to look at the assistant director, gave an explanation, and walked towards a door in the hall. When he came to his rest room, he sent a message to the person in charge of the Propaganda Department of the Holographic Competition Organizing Committee. , the information was quickly connected, and this time the director used a projection video call.

The Propaganda Department of the Holographic Competition Organizing Committee is a department that is often in contact with the entertainment industry, and the person in charge is naturally familiar with many important figures in the entertainment industry.This time the filming of the promotional film was able to invite this famous director because the person in charge of the propaganda department and the director are friends.

So the first time the information was connected, the person in charge of the propaganda department happily greeted the director, but the director here was not very face-saving.

"I want to ask one thing." The director cut to the chase.

The person in charge of the Propaganda Department saw the director's expression and knew that there must be something wrong, so he corrected his expression, "Tell me something, we are old friends, as long as I can do it, I will definitely do it."

"I don't need you to do anything for me, and it's not a big deal. I just want to ask if we agreed at the beginning that no one is allowed to interfere with my filming?"

The head of the Propaganda Department nodded: "Indeed, I know how rigorous you are about your work, so this time, even the selection of contestants, every contestant is personally determined by you after checking their information .And we also wrote this clearly in the initial contract, no one will interfere with anything you do during the filming process."

"Very well, then I would like to ask about the investors. An investor called me just now and specifically asked to add a play to the God of Rain, to film him as the protagonist, and also asked about the length of the close-up of the white wolf. But I don’t think Yushen has the potential to be the protagonist of this promotional film. How many close-ups I want to take for the white wolf is also my business. You can see, if anyone else intervenes in my business..."

"No!" The person in charge of the publicity department quickly interrupted the director. He knew the director's temper, so he didn't care even if the long passage just now had a taste of "excusing the teacher". He was just very fast. Said, "No, no, no! There won't be such a thing happening again! If there is any more, just tell me how you want to shoot or how to shoot, and I won't let these people bother you again."

The words from the person in charge of the propaganda department finally softened the director's overly serious expression. He was very satisfied with the guarantee made by the person in charge of the propaganda department, so the director's tone improved a lot, "Don't talk about these disappointing topics, let us Tell me something you'd like."

When the person in charge of the Propaganda Department heard this, he also laughed, "Oh? Is there any good news for my old friend?"

The director raised his eyebrows slightly, and said in a low voice, "This promotional video will definitely shock everyone."

Ever since Yushen found someone to put pressure on the director, he has been waiting for the director to subdue, but he waited for three full days until everyone's shots were shot, and he still didn't get the close-up shot he wanted.Not only that, Yushen also found that he seemed to be completely turned into a background board. Since he found someone to put pressure on the director, his shots have become less and less.

When the filming was coming to an end, Yushen finally arrived and got a little flustered. He kept sending messages to the investor he knew, but the investor didn't answer his messages at all, and he didn't reply to any of his messages. .

And the director acted as if he didn't exist during the whole filming process, and he didn't say a single word more.

After everyone's promotional video was filmed, everyone was told that work was over and they could go back. Only a few people were left behind for a private conversation, and White Wolf was one of them.

Yushen looked at those people who left one after another with a pale face, and he mustered up the courage to talk to Hate in person, but the director really completely ignored his existence.

Yushen was finally sure that he had offended the director, and in the end it was the assistant next to the deputy director who persuaded him to leave.

Compared with many other contestants without any background and influence, Yushen has a lot of energy, but his temper that can't be wronged and doesn't know what it means to be restrained makes him stumble here.

The Rain God is just an inconspicuous little passerby. After sending most of the people away, not many people stayed behind. All the people from the "Holographic Watch" individual competition left, only Bai Lang was left, and Bai Lang didn't know the others.

The director called White Wolf and the other three people together for a conversation. The content of the discussion was to make a separate short film for each of the four of them, and then they discussed with each other what kind of picture to shoot. .

Bai Lang's side is very simple. After talking for a while, the director has already decided on the shooting content for Bai Lang without any ideas from Bai Lang.

"You can just shoot the process of practicing on a daily basis." This director always does things quickly and neatly. After setting the subject of Bai Lang's shooting, Bai Lang has nothing to do for the time being. She can go back to rest and wait for a while before coming back. Shooting is fine.

Although the director's attitude that work is work will make many people feel uncomfortable, but for White Wolf, the director's attitude makes him feel more relaxed.

So the white wolf waited for a few days before coming again.

During the two days when she went back to rest, Xiaobai, who had been training at Team W's base, took the time to make several phone calls with Bailang.

Ever since the white wolf hugged Xiaobai, Xiaobai blushed a little every time he faced the white wolf, but what was written in those sparkling eyes was his liking for the white wolf.It's not the kind of liking between a man and a woman, but a liking that is entangled in a lot of appreciation and admiration, just like liking a big sister.

Because White Wolf has been waiting for the start of the all-professional individual competition on another planet, other members of the W team have had no contact with White Wolf during this period of time, but Xiao Bai and White Wolf have no feeling of unfamiliarity at all.After getting through the communication, he started chatting very familiarly, and his intimacy was not too fanatical, so Bai Lang accepted it relatively well.

Even if Xiaobai would say something not very nutritious most of the time, the white wolf would not get bored.

It's just that when Xiaobai was talking to White Wolf, he mentioned something about the Rain God.

"Miss Bailang, I heard that the Rain God also participated in the promotional video produced by the holographic competition organizing committee? Oh, oh, let me tell you, I heard some gossip recently, it seems that the Rain God wants to give this time The big director you filmed put pressure on to grab the scene, but it didn't work out."

"There is such a thing?" White Wolf has never heard of it, but she doesn't even know who the Rain God is.

"Yes, yes, Miss Bailang, you must be more careful. You have such a good personality, you will be bullied outside, do you know? If someone bullies you, you must tell us, we will definitely help You vent your anger!" Xiaobai is talking about us here, the men of the entire W team.

White Wolf is the only girl in Team W, and also the only girl among the professional players of "Holographic Overwatch". Even if she looks very independent, she is still a treasure in Team W. There is no one who doesn't like her - except that Hu Hu.

In the past days of getting along with other members of Team W and training together, White Wolf is very familiar with the people of Team W. Hearing Xiaobai say this, he couldn't help but smile, "Don't worry, no one can bully you!" It's mine, but you still have to work hard and train hard, I heard that other teams this year have become even stronger."

Xiaobai opened his eyes wide and blinked, and finally agreed, but he emphasized again and again, "In short, Miss Bailang, you must be careful. In fact, I am more worried that you are being bullied. Maybe you don't even realize it yourself. .”

White Wolf laughed, "How could this happen?"

For the care from others, the white wolf will also feel very warm.

The time agreed between the director and Bai Lang came soon, and when Bai Lang saw the director again, the director had just walked out of the cutting room.

Even though this is the future world, the requirements for the environment and props of video shooting have been greatly reduced, but such things as cutting and lens language are still not controllable by simple intelligent machines.

The director came out and took a look at Bai Lang, and then asked the staff to take Bai Lang to change clothes and do styling.

This time the staff prepared the clothes for White Wolf, which were completely made according to White Wolf's own description. After seeing the white long gown worn by archers who are very familiar to White Wolf and full of simple charm for the future world, White Wolf There are many sighs in my heart.

It feels like it's been a long time since the last time I wore clothes like this.

Without the help of others, Bai Lang put on the clothes one by one by himself.Fasten your belt, tie your leggings, and tie your hair high with a red headband.After Bai Lang came out of the dressing room, the people outside were stunned again, and it took a long time for someone to say: "It seems... Miss Bai Lang really fits this dress well."

"Yeah... It's as if Miss Bailang really walked out of the historical materials of the ancient earth."

"Is this the same as the clothes for practicing archery in the ancient earth? But it looks really good."

Everyone in the room was amazed. When the assistant director's assistant came here to check the progress, the make-up artists in the room quickly pushed Bai Lang on the chair and began to apply powder and thrush on Bai Lang's face. .

Although the white wolf looks really good now, it seems that there is no need for other makeup at all, but this makeup still needs to be painted after all, after all, there is still a certain gap between the things captured by the lens and the real people, plus With some light changes, these makeup looks are still necessary.

It didn't take long to draw the shape this time, and the white wolf came out of the dressing room very quickly. After seeing the white wolf coming out, the assistant director's assistant walked up to him with a look of admiration, and praised: "Miss White Wolf, look It looks really good, and the director will be very satisfied."

"You look good too." White Wolf rarely said something nice.

This made the assistant laugh all over, and waved his hand at Bailang: "How can there be, we have such a heavy workload every day and the clothes are very ordinary, Miss Bailang will come to shoot with me soon The room, the director is already waiting for you there. Let me tell you, that room is also well furnished~"

Because he felt that the relationship with White Wolf had become more harmonious, the assistant said something more to White Wolf.

Although the white wolf is not very good at speaking beautiful words, when others speak, the white wolf can always listen very carefully. This is a behavior that is extremely respectful to others, so it is also necessary for others to have a good impression of the white wolf. very simple thing.

As the assistant said, the room where the shoot was set up was fantastic.

The moment he opened the door and walked in, White Wolf had the illusion that he had returned to the past.

Just like what she talked about with the director, this is a very standard room for elaboration, but what hangs on the wall of the room is neither "Wu" nor "Meditation", but the same as the white wolf's own room. The word "no self" is the same in the meticulous room.

Everything was as Bai Lang said, even Bai Lang himself did not think that the director and the props team would do this.

After the director saw the white wolf coming, he did not start shooting immediately, but walked to the white wolf, looked at the room together with the white wolf, and asked at the same time: "Do you think there is anything that needs to be changed?" Because the director and the white wolf Bai Lang has emphasized more than once that it is necessary to shoot in the usual posture where Bai Lang looks the most relaxed, hoping that Bai Lang can show his usual self.

So all of this was indeed arranged exactly according to what White Wolf said.

As a monster, White Wolf also knows a lot of things between human beings, and it is not that simple to do a good job in many cases.And the director was able to restore everything from her clothes to this room according to what she said. This can only be said that the director is very "intentional".

This is a very good director.

White Wolf shook his head, "There is nothing that needs to be changed, it's very good." What she said at the time, including many small details, the director has already done everything.

After the director got the affirmation from the white wolf, he didn't have any expression on his face to ask for credit. To him, all this seemed to be a matter of course.

After talking about this, the director continued to discuss with the assistant director, including the adjustment of the angle of the camera ball in various places, etc., and then everything was ready, except for a white wolf.

……

The filming of the promotional video and the individual short videos of the four contestants went very smoothly, and White Wolf received the money paid to them by the holographic competition organizing committee in accordance with the contract not long after returning home.The release speed of these promotional films and personal short films is also very fast, which is much shorter than the production cycle of various film and television commercials that White Wolf saw in the 21st century, and the quality of the shooting is also very good.

That day the white wolf rarely went around the streets. Although the white wolf didn't mind staying in the villa and training alone, she still went out to meet other people every few days according to the requirements of the nutritionist and health doctor. isolated from the world.Especially the doctors and nutritionists who specialize in taking care of Bailang know that Bailang is not interested in Xingwang. There is not much time to really contact and communicate with others.

White Wolf also knows that doctors and nutritionists, including the manager and coach of Team W, are all for her own good, so White Wolf took the initiative to take over the work of going out to buy groceries—going out to buy groceries every few days.

In the future world, you don't need to go out of your room to buy things, and there will be special people who will deliver what you need to your door.

So going out specifically to buy things and visit physical stores has become a "leisure activity", and those who are really busy with their livelihoods have no time to waste on these things.However, there are not many people on the street. There are always many young men and women walking on the street for dates. The reality is still different from the virtual world.After all, in the virtual world, many things have been beautified, and people are still more willing to pursue the truth when dealing with communication.

Xingwang.com said that the model was made according to his original body, but completely different situations happen from time to time after meeting.Except for meeting under some special circumstances in Starnet, everything that people behave outside can be changed virtually.

The day when White Wolf went out to buy vegetables for "leisure", the weather was not bad. She walked back leisurely with the vegetables, and then saw a promotional video filmed by a group of them for Holographic Watch on the huge TV wall by the roadside.

The white wolf stopped, and many people stopped to watch with her, and everyone looked up at the huge TV wall.
