Chapter 212
Geniuses were the minority after all. Geniuses like Wen Yongwei had already surpassed ordinary people in many other aspects. People like her were extremely rare.
Luo Qi's expectations were too high.
"Why don't you try the dance rhythm?" Kang Cheng suggested.
Wen Yongwei immediately understood what was going on. She had been practicing dance since she was three years old, and it had been fifteen years since then. As a result, she was in good shape.
When she was dancing, she was very relaxed. If she were to immerse herself in the filming, would she really be worse than Shi Jin?
After thinking it through, she quickly found her composure. She stood up and walked over to Luo Qi's side. "Director Luo, can I try again?"
"Alright, let's get ready. Everyone, get ready!" He stood up and commanded the other staff members.
This time, Wen Yongwei's performance was indeed different.
She walked over in a dance step and faced the morning sun. She washed her face, patted her cheeks, and woke up her skin. It was done in one go and synced perfectly with the dance. It was really beautiful.
Luo Qi excitedly nodded.
Wen Yongwei was done quickly this time. She continued to work hard, and soon, she had done all the scenes that
Luo Qi needed.
She then proceeded to change into the outfit of a poor woman.
Shi Jin had also changed into the garb of an impoverished woman. Unlike the princess makeup, the impoverished woman's makeup was worn out and her hair was not too well cared for. Her entire being looked very rough.
Such a crude look was testing to an artist's facial features. If one was careless, they would just look ugly.
When Shi Jin came out, her makeup was rough and the foundation was three shades deeper, making her skin look dull.
As soon as she appeared, people could not recognize her. However, when she opened her eyes, the stars seemed to be reflected in them. They shone brightly and pushed away all the gloominess on her face.
This pair of eyes lit up her entire being. Luo Qi was pleasantly surprised.
This part of a poor woman was really not easy to film. No matter how they filmed it, it could easily lose its luster. At that time, they would be scolded by the company and would also be complained to by their managers and artistes.
Therefore, many directors would rather try an empty and beautiful scene rather than coming into contact with a soulful but unpleasant plot.
Luo Qi even complained that the plans for this advertisement were too difficult.
However, now that he saw Shi Jin appear in front of him, Luo Qi realized that no matter how difficult the content was, there was someone who could do it well.
Wen Yongwei was also done changing.
Under her dull makeup, she also felt like she was lost in the crowd. Fortunately, she was thin and tall, and the makeup artist had done her best to enhance the cleanness and transparency of her makeup with highlights. Only thanks to that did she look barely energetic. However, compared to Shi Jin, the difference was obvious.
Wen Yongwei could see the difference in ratings in Luo Qi's eyes.
She didn't know why Luo Qi was acting like this. Her makeup and Shi Jin's were almost the same, and there was no difference in their height. Although she had wasted some time during the shoot, her final product was even better than Shi Jin's. Why was Luo Qi looking at them like that?
Shi Jin had already closed her eyes, so Wen Yongwei and Kang Cheng naturally could not see her stunning talent.
Luo Qi really wanted to let Shi Jin film first, but he still asked politely, "Which of you wants to film first?"
Shi Jin happened to have something to do and was replying to someone.
Kang Cheng didn't like her attitude towards work and said, "Let Wen Yongwei go first. Shi Jin still needs to learn."
A few tutors followed Wen Yongwei around. This was a request from Kang Cheng and the Wen Family.
Seeing that Shi Jin was busy, Yao Jiahong didn't object and let them go first.
This time, Wen Yongwei continued to dance. She danced very well, and her moves were becoming more and more harmonious. Her performance was even more impressive than before, and she was
getting more and more into it, but Luo Qi made her stumble a few times.
"I didn't jump anywhere, did I?" Wen Yongwei asked, feeling a little tired.
"It's not that you didn't dance right, but you danced too well. Your dancing posture is too dignified, as if you've been trained professionally. You're a poor woman now, a poor woman shouldn't move like this," Luo Qi explained to her.
Wen Yongwei was momentarily unable to accept this. Couldn't she dance well?
Wen Yongwei had to take a few more retakes before she was finally done with the shoot.
She felt uncomfortable. Why was Luo Qi treating her like this? When she had been dancing just now, he had been saying that she should do the same dance, or even better, but now he was picking on her?
Was it because Shi Jin was around?
Noticing Wen Yongwei's emotions, Kang Cheng said, "Luo Qi's directing skills are average. Some of his requirements have always been weird. I'm used to it. Don't take it to heart."
He was an MV director himself, just like Luo Qi. Later on, he had felt that he had not had many breakthroughs in this line of work, so he had sought more opportunities.
Taking the initiative to volunteer to stay by Wen
Yongwei's side was also a new development in his career. Now that he had stepped out of the industry, he didn't think much of Luo Qi.
Wen Yongwei smiled and said, "Director Luo has some requirements for the shoot, but I don't think it's a big deal. It's all for work and the finished product. However, he only has requirements for me
and not for Shi Jin. Isn't that a little weird? I don't have any other issues, I'm just a little confused. If I dance too well, I have to do it again. Is this a strict requirement for me or something else?"
Kang Cheng naturally didn't like such double standards. He said, "Didn't Luo Qi ask you to dance? Then, during the filming, Shi Jin should dance too."
Wen Yongwei did not reply. That was exactly what she meant. She realized that Kang Cheng could understand her meaning very well. Or rather, his thoughts were often in line with hers.
It was rather convenient for her to have such a manager.
"I don't think that's a good idea. Shi Jin has never learned to dance before. It'll be too troublesome to shoot like this." Wen Yongwei shook her head.
Kang Cheng said indifferently, "She can learn. If Luo Qi has a request for you, he should have a request for everyone."
He walked over to Luo Qi and made this request.
"Make Shi Jin dance too?" Luo Qi felt that there was no need. "They each have their own strengths. There's no need for them to shoot the same scene."
"The two advertisements are obviously shot differently, which is unfair. Why don't we make Shi Jin give it a try?
If it really doesn't work out, it won't affect anything."
Luo Qi took a look at the clock. Because Shi Jin's filming of the princess part had progressed very quickly, there was still plenty of time. Since that was the case, he really wanted to see how Shi Jin would do when she danced.
There was no harm in trying.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
