PNB Chapter 143 The Camera is Expensive
Chapter 143 The Camera is Expensive
I saw that the number of likes for the vlog I shot surpassed the report on suing the black community and defending rights, reaching as high as five million. The number of comments also exceeded one million, and the number of clicks was even greater.
Xiao Cen was so anxious that he kept asking Qin Xi what to shoot next.
"Xiao Cen, don't be so anxious, relax." Qin Xi comforted her while putting on makeup.
It swayed back and forth, giving her a headache.
"Weibo is a sharing platform. If you treat it as a task, then you lose the original intention. Besides, the platform doesn't ask me to give out benefits every time I reach 10 million followers. Let's just let it go..."
"But the fans are pushing hard..." Xiao Cen scratched his head.
Qin Xi smiled calmly, "Xiao Cen, you have to understand that I don't make a living from fans, I make a living from my works! The essence of taking on this Weibo business is to make it easier to promote in the future so that more people can see my works. Don't put the cart before the horse..."
"My most important task is to make the film well. As for the materials, I always carry a camera with me to shoot. Who knows when I will have a flash of inspiration and come up with a good idea?"
Xiao Cen nodded seriously, patted his chest and said, "You are right, filming is the most important thing! Leave the ideas to me, I will go watch videos to find inspiration!"
Lili looked at Xiao Cen's disappearing back and couldn't help but shake her head and sigh.
"You are young after all, and you care too much about gain and loss!"
Qin Xi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Why does it sound so strange coming out of your mouth? You seem to be two years younger than Xiao Cen, right?"
Lili pinched her waist and said, "I'm talking about my age when I first started working here! And the length of time I've worked with you! I'm considered a senior anyway~"
Qin Xi smiled and raised his hand, "Okay, then what do you think, senior?"
Lili was calm and composed. "I think that platforms like Weibo are too easy to imitate and have a low threshold. It is almost impossible to maintain a hit. Users will get tired of it one day..."
"But Sister Xi, you have seized the initiative, which is really powerful. I guess those who come after you will try their best but still cannot gain as many followers as you have in the past two days on Weibo!"
Qin Xi was very surprised, "Lili, your vision is getting better and better now, and your growth rate is amazing!"
Lili raised her head and smiled, saying proudly, "That's right, don't you see who trained me!"
The crew of "It Happened to Be You" was very rich, and spent tens of millions of dollars just on the actors' costumes. This is quite rare in modern dramas of this era.
Of this huge amount of money, 80% was spent on the styling of Qin Xi, also known as the female star Jiang Mei. The crew was very rigorous. The male protagonist Yan Mu, a workplace rookie who could barely afford to eat, wore the same piece of clothing for several episodes. Later, he made some money and things got better.
But with Gu Chenxing's face like this, no matter what clothes he wears, it won't affect his stunning looks.
Qin Xi is different. As a superstar with a flamboyant personality, Jiang Mei wears all kinds of clothes in a variety of styles, just like a cross-dressing show. Qin Xi is like a clothes rack. No matter how exaggerated the color or style, it will never look bad on her.
As the styling director, Yin Yiren felt very relaxed. The master was right. With Qin Xi's qualifications, she would have a place in the fashion circle sooner or later.
The scene to be filmed today is the first time Yan Mu acts as a photographer to shoot a large seascape for Jiang Mei. This scene has a lot of scene changes, and Qin Xi has to change more than ten sets of clothes.
I don’t know how well Gu Chenxing’s photography skills have improved. I don’t know if the pictures he takes are acceptable. Maybe the photographer will have to come out and do it again.
Qin Xi just arrived at the scene and found that Gu Chenxing had arrived earlier, fiddling with a camera in his hand.
Gu Chenxing keenly noticed that Qin Xi was here, and looked at Qin Xi's clothes carefully, then smiled gently, "You are here, you are beautiful today too."
Qin Xi found that Gu Chenxing was getting more and more skilled. It was like he had installed a radar and could always discover him first.
The blushing and immature look when she first teased him was gone. Because Qin Xi had many costumes in this play, Director Wu also gave her a task, which was to quickly get familiar with Gu Chenxing. Qin Xi liked to open the topic by asking, "Does my outfit look good today?"
Over time, Gu Chenxing became ptsd, and whenever he saw Qin Xi, he would first praise her for her good looks today. The key point was that he didn't look perfunctory at all, he would carefully observe what was different about Qin Xi today, and answer her fluently.
Qin Xi couldn't help but sigh, this kid is too smart, thoughtful, not the kind of straight man at all. If this is a young girl who has not experienced much of the world, she will be fascinated and rush to him.
Fortunately, I am not an ordinary little girl, I have strong self-control! But sometimes I still get teased inadvertently, and my heart flutters.
"You're getting sweeter and sweeter. You're going to take pictures of me all day today. I wonder how your skills are improving. Ah! You... this camera!!!"
Qin Xi glanced at the camera in Gu Chenxing's hand. She was shocked to find that it was the latest model of L. L brand is the Rolls-Royce of cameras and the luxury of cameras. This one looks like a limited edition and you may not be able to buy it even if you have money.
Qin Xi doubted her life. "Is the crew crazy? They have so much money but nowhere to spend it? They even equipped them with L's camera..."
Gu Chenxing stared at Qin Xi's lively expression, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he said calmly, "Oh, it's not provided by the crew, I bought it myself to practice..."
Qin Xi: “…”
Rich people are rich people, they want the most expensive cameras!
Qin Xi said with difficulty, "L's camera...is not suitable for beginners."
Gu Chenxing didn't care. "It doesn't matter. I will be more of a novice sooner or later. Besides, you like to take videos recently, so this will come in handy."
"Can you give it to me? Really?"
Qin Xi was a little tempted. Although she could afford it, it was not cost-effective. But when she really got it in her hands, she couldn't help but want to try the feeling of a "Rolls-Royce".
"Of course, I wonder how this camera compares to yours..."
Qin Xi fiddled with the camera and immediately replied, "That's not even close. The one I have is an old model..."
What Qin Xi didn't notice was that Gu Chenxing's smile gradually widened, his eyes shone with dazzling stars, and were filled with all kinds of tenderness.
After filming at the beach for most of the day, Qin Xi didn't dare to go into the water because she was afraid that the crew's clothes would get wet. Finally, the filming was over, Qin Xi changed into her own big shirt and planned to play in the water.
The weather in X City in early October is not very cold, and the evening sea breeze is very comfortable. The crew finished work, and the staff left with their equipment. Qin Xi took off her high heels that she had worn all day and gave them to Lili, and ran barefoot into the tide.
"Be careful, don't fall!" Gu Chenxing's voice came from behind.
Qin Xi was wondering why he hadn't left yet?
When Qin Xi turned around, she saw Gu Chenxing recording herself with a camera.
Qin Xi was startled and subconsciously blocked it, "Hey! Why are you still filming after the show is over?"
"Smile..."
Qin Xi was about to frown, but after all, she was still filming, so she curved her brows and smiled slightly.
Suddenly, he became frightened and scooped up some water and splashed it towards Gu Chenxing, who was caught off guard and got wet.
There was a sly smile between Qin Xi's brows, and two shallow dimples appeared on her cheeks. The gorgeous sunset glow floated on Qin Xi's face, making her look extremely charming.
Gu Chenxing said faintly, "The camera is very expensive~"
Oops, forgot, quickly withdrew a smile.
This time it was Gu Chenxing who let out a low laugh, as faint as the breeze, but it lasted for a long time...
