Chapter 4, Shoot Your Sister's MV!
The final scene that requires Wang Jiayu to audition is that of the female lead in the music video just before her death. She lies on the floor, extending her hand, allowing non-existent light to seep through her fingers. Although her face bears a smile, it is mixed with a sorrow that suddenly tugs at the heart. "Ha, you said you would come to get me, you big liar"
Wang Jiayu quickly skimmed through the script and roughly understood what needed to be done. The fact that she would be filming the MV with Lin Guangyou made her exceptionally excited; however, she immediately slapped her own face hard to snap out of her excitement
BOSS, I really don't want to be a star!" Wang Jiayu said tearfully as she flipped through the script
However, in just a moment, as Wang Jiayu opened the script, she seemed to transform into a different person, instantly entering a peculiar state. She paced back and forth while murmuring to herself, continuously trying out different positions.
What kind of mirror should I try?
It would be better not to offer any rewards at all, *slams table*
... including both principal and interest. Wang Jiayu suddenly bumped her head against the table, her mind engaged in a fierce internal struggle. Not to mention including both principal and interest, she couldn't even cover the principal amount, sob sob sob
Here, Wang Jiayu tasted the best twice-cooked pork she has ever had in her life, which nearly brought her to tears.
No, or rather it is not talent, but the accumulation of her efforts in acting under the dream of wanting to be a director
Li Shuhe remained unmoved, "If you wish to miss such a good actor, then be my guest."
At this moment, she finally understood how merciful her previous standard of losing five pounds in two weeks truly was, and how much it reflected the BOSS's humanitarian concern
Before Li Shuhe could finish speaking, Wang Jiayu immediately presented the script with both hands and pushed it back, saying, "BOSS, I had no idea that the original weight loss service was buy one get one free, but I'm not a celebrity; I just want to study hard and become a director"
Wang Jiayu was in tears
Wang Jiayu was stunned for three seconds, then immediately looked at the pale-faced Li Shuhe and the one who seemed to be ready to watch the show...
If at that time you can truly repay both the principal and the interest, I would not mind at all
Wang Jiayu blinked her eyes, hesitating whether to tell Lin Xiaotian that she actually weighed 150 jin.
Will I return it to you when I become a director in the future
BOSS! When Wang Jiayu rushed to the studio, panting, Jiang Youyi was crying softly nearby
Lin Guangyou chuckled and leaned in front of Wang Jiayu, revealing a meaningful smile, "I look forward to your success in losing weight, little chubby girl"
Can you take me there, BOSS
OK, the next scene
Wang Jiayu glanced at Jiang Youyi, then took a look at the script and said directly: "You are not suitable for this role"
The temperament is a hundred thousand miles away. Wang Jiayu blinked her eyes, as if this were an obvious fact
After the shoot, Li Shuhe fulfilled his promise and took Wang Jiayu to a private dining restaurant
"Really?" Wang Jiayu immediately fell silent, "Really?"
You Mingkai truly has quite the air about him
Half an hour passed quickly, and the camera, lighting, and other equipment were all set up. Wang Jiayu took a deep breath and walked in front of the camera
Then let us do some calculations. Li Shuhe changed to a more relaxed posture and said, "My salary is calculated on an hourly basis. The hourly rate varies depending on the cooperation partner, but the minimum standard is one thousand per hour. I will calculate based on this standard. You tell me, in these four months, how many hours have you spent with me?"
This is indeed the Feast at Hongmen! How could that treacherous person, Li Shuhe, truly agree to bring her here to enjoy delicious food!
... ... ! The slight worry and discomfort made Lin Guangyou's smile instantly fade away. The plot he had painstakingly conceived was actually evaluated as slightly worrying and uncomfortable ? !
This restaurant operates on a membership basis, and you cannot enter without being a member
Lin Guangyou? ! '' Wang Jiayu covered her mouth and screamed
Watching Wang Jiayu eat with a look of complete satisfaction, Li Shuhe couldn't help but smile slightly at the corners of his mouth, as if he had inadvertently discovered an excellent method to subdue Wang Jiayu
The MV was shot even more smoothly than expected. Since Wang Jiayu is a student in the directing department, she has certain experience in how to position herself and stand in a way that allows the camera to capture better angles. This saved the director a lot of work, and correspondingly, the editing process became much easier.
Wang Jiayu counted on her fingers and revealed a look of terror
Wang Jiayu
Of course, of course! Excitement shone in Wang Jiayu's eyes
Wang Jiayu posed with a bouquet of flowers in her hands, gazing into the void ahead, as if her beloved youth truly stood there. She revealed a smile as fresh and gentle as the first ray of summer sunshine, and her eyes seemed to shimmer with a faint light. "Hey, Xiaoguang, you promised to come pick me up tomorrow in summer, no backing out now"
If you do not sign the contract, you will have to return the money, and you will never be able to enjoy such delicious twice-cooked pork again
"You ungrateful fool!" Jiang Youyi, who had been crying incessantly, suddenly jumped out, "This was originally my job opportunity, taking advantage of it and then pretending to be virtuous, how shameless!"
Thus, Wang Jiayu, who had just escaped from the tiger's den, once again returned to that devilish weight-loss villa that sent shivers down her spine at the mere thought of it, facing the brutal challenge of losing five pounds in a week
Li Shuhe abruptly grabbed Wang Jiayu, who was about to escape at the speed of light to her idol, and said, "Come over for an audition"
Li Shuhe tucked the script into her bosom, "It starts in half an hour; if you can't make it, don't expect to see the sun tomorrow"
Li Shuhe displayed a look of approval, indicating that she had not been swept away by emotions
Wang Jiayu shook her head vigorously, "Once you become a star, you lose your freedom; I do not wish to be entangled in rumors and intrigues every day"
Signing a contract can make one a star, although it would be extremely troublesome for her personality, and she would definitely struggle to get by. However, it provides an opportunity to accumulate experience in acting and build connections within the industry, which would make it easier for her to pursue her aspiration of becoming a director. The key point is that she would also get to enjoy delicious food frequently
Either you repay this sum of money, or you sign this contract
Would you like to come and eat here often in the future
A week later, Wang Jiayu, who was so hungry that her eyes were filled with stars, stood on the scale and was overwhelmed to see the dazzling "54.5". This was undoubtedly the most accomplished thing she had ever done in her life! Losing 5 pounds in a week, 20 pounds in a month, and 120 pounds in a year; the calories from the fat she lost could be converted into potato chips that could circle the Earth!
He did not expect that this chubby girl, who was a bit unconventional and did things out of the ordinary, would truly have such a talent for performing
There is no such thing as a free serving of twice-cooked pork, Wang Jiayu
There is so much nonsense, let's go back and lose weight
BOSS, what will happen after filming this MV
Due to the need for rapid progress, Wang Jiayu is faced with an unimaginable amount of exercise and a proportionally small amount of food.
Wang Jiayu suddenly stopped, looking at the contract with a pained expression, "BOSS, you cannot be so cruel"
Even after becoming a star, one can still be a director
Li Shuhe had no doubt that if Wang Jiayu were a dog, she would be wagging her tail joyfully at this moment, "Of course, there are conditions; I need a dog that can also guard the door for me."
Wang Jiayu reviewed the terms and did not find any particularly harsh clauses at first glance, and elegantly signed her name at the end.
Li Shuhe took out a contract and pushed it in front of her, "Become a signed artist of Ming Kai, with a contract period of five years. Within these five years, I will make you the most popular actress, and in return, you need to fully obey my commands"
Li Shuhe was quite satisfied with this result and immediately rewarded Wang Jiayu with a small tomato
Why do my eyes often brim with tears? It is because of my profound love for the twice-cooked pork that I cannot have
Li Shuhe pulled her away and strode out of the studio, saying, "You can eat once the MV is finished"
Then Li Shuhe looked at the gloomy Lin Guangyou and said, "Adjust the schedule a bit; we will shoot the MV for the main track next week"
If it can be said that Li Shuhe called her over for an audition just on a whim, wanting to see what she was truly capable of, now the thought of properly nurturing Wang Jiayu has completely taken root.
Li Shuhe revealed a faint smile, took a fountain pen from his suit pocket, and handed it to Wang Jiayu, saying, "Those who know how to adapt to the times are the true talents"
However, Wang Jiayu would never tell them that she had imagined Lin Guangyou as a plate of fragrant twice-cooked pork, which allowed her to perform with such deep emotion, despair, joy, and profound pain
After Lin Guangyou left, Wang Jiayu immediately hugged Li Shuhe and cried out: "BOSS, I feel that my current weight is just right, I really don't want to lose any more! I want to eat twice-cooked pork! I really, really want to eat twice-cooked pork!"
... it is indeed true that those who can discern food are the true talents.
Wang Jiayu leaned in front of Li Shuhe, blinked, and said, "BOSS, I have finished the test, can I leave now?"
As soon as the director shouted "cut," Wang Jiayu immediately jumped up from the floor and brushed off the dust from her clothes, saying, "This story is quite a bit of a micro-woe, isn't it, director"
Lin Guangyou walked over slowly with his hands in his pockets, revealing a playful smile, "Why is she not suitable for this role?"
What conditions?
The poor little chubby girl does not realize that this is merely an illusion caused by her not having eaten twice-cooked pork for too long
Then she turned around, took a few steps back to cover her face, and said, "Don't take pictures, I'm so ugly!" Then she made a gesture of laughing while trying to snatch the camera.
The director called for the segment that Wang Jiayu needed to audition for and shouted "Action"
Li Shuhe and Lin Guangyou stared blankly at Wang Jiayu, who had become engrossed in her role, and the same thought flashed through their minds: genius
Of course, it is about debuting as ... ...
Lin Guangyou did not provide a clear answer
After a painful struggle and decision, Wang Jiayu finally nodded in humiliation and said, "I sign"
Wang Jiayu hurriedly swallowed the food in her mouth and asked, "What happened, BOSS?"
"Don't even think about it," Li Shuhe said as she took a dress from the hanger and stuffed it into Wang Jiayu's arms. "Lose another 5 pounds within a week. If you can't fit into this dress, then come to see me with your head in hand."
Jiang Youyi let out a cold snort, "Putting on airs," and then revealed an incredibly sweet smile, turning to Lin Guangyou, who was observing with great interest nearby, "Guangyou, you wouldn't want this chubby girl to play the lead role in your MV, would you?"
"Enough with the nonsense, show me the script so I can prepare for the audition!" Li Shuhe impatiently tossed Wang Jiayu into the corner
