Chapter 176 Asking for Help
Ling Xiaoyue was not surprised to hear what Bai Jingke said. Among those in the entertainment industry, how many would not want to show their faces and become famous? After all, this was just a variety show and he was just a guest to help. The home court was still theirs.
Since the person who invited external help had put forward his own ideas, Ling Xiaoyue couldn't be so tough in the crew and make it his own decision.
He thought about it and felt that if the dance design was good, it would not affect the display of artistic effects, and adding dance elements was actually not a bad idea.
Ling Xiaoyue nodded without thinking too long, agreeing: "This kind of natural landscape, combined with classical dance, will indeed be a visual enjoyment. Your idea is very good, so which part do you want to dance?"
Bai Jingke has been ignored a lot in the past few days, and the guests on the recording didn't tolerate her either. So Ling Xiaoyue agreed so readily that she couldn't believe it. But when Ling Xiaoyue mentioned classical dance, she was dumbfounded.
Bai Jingke does have some dancing skills, but she studied Latin. Later, after becoming a model by accident, she hasn't danced for a long time.
"But I only know how to dance Latin. Is Latin dance not okay?" Bai Jingke asked tentatively.
Ling Xiaoyue shook his head and said regretfully: "Latin dance is also very beautiful, but it doesn't match this scenery. For a Jiangnan water town like this, classical dance is the most suitable."
Seeing the situation at a standstill, Ouyang Ruo hesitated for a long time, but finally mustered up the courage to speak: "I am a classical dancer, I can give it a try. Teacher Bai has a good dance foundation, and the promotional video only needs a few suitable shots, and there is no need to dance the whole segment."
Hearing Ouyang Ruo say this, Bai Jingke felt mixed emotions. She originally thought that it was an opportunity she had fought for, but she didn't expect that it was a wedding dress for someone else. Ouyang Ruo has been learning classical dance since he was a child. Although he is an actor now, he still has a foundation in dance.
What Ouyang Ruo said is not impossible. There can be only a few fleeting shots in the promotional video, but this is a live variety show, and the difference can be seen during the recording.
Bai Jing was afraid that she would become a control group to highlight Ouyang Ruo's excellence. When Bai Jing thought of this, she looked at Ouyang Ruo with unfriendly eyes. Ouyang Ruo didn't know how she had offended her again and felt a little puzzled.
"If Mr. Bai thinks this method is inappropriate, then forget it. We are just discussing the filming method anyway."
Who doesn't have a temper? They had a grudge against each other on the first day. Although it was not her intention, she has always been trying to ease the relationship between the two. But Bai Jing saw that not only did she not back down, but she also kept getting ahead of herself. Who is pampering her?
Bai Jing saw that Ouyang Ruo showed impatience towards her for the first time, and thought that she could no longer pretend. But then she changed her mind and thought that filming was one thing, and if the effect shown in the promotional video was good, it might be an opportunity to show her face.
She has always been a very goal-oriented person. She is eager to gain a foothold in the mainland. What is happening before her seems to be an opportunity, so she must seize it.
"I'm not dissatisfied, I just think that if I only do a few dance poses, it will affect the filming effect. But I'm afraid I won't have enough time to learn the whole thing, so I'm wondering whether I should try it or not."
Ling Xiaoyue spoke at the right time: "My team can handle the filming. Both methods are fine. What we want is the display effect in the final shot."
Seeing that Ling Xiaoyue said so, Bai Jing agreed without much hesitation. Therefore, although the shooting plan for Building B was tortuous, it was finally finalized.
When Ji Huaian went to contact the three shadow puppetry inheritors, things went much more smoothly than Yuanluo had imagined. Ji Huaian used complete businessman's mindset, and he did not think of impressing the three artists with emotions or money.
He directly took an investment plan and, with the introduction of someone, knocked on the office of a local person in charge. The plan was real. Ji's family would support some regions every year, and this time they just decided to support Changshui.
Because of his status as a member of the Ji family and the real money he brought, after the cooperation was agreed upon, Ji Huaian politely proposed that he wanted to help Changshui shoot a promotional video and wanted to invite several shadow puppet inheritors for help.
Of course, the teachers’ work will not be in vain, and they will definitely be rewarded generously.
Ji Huaian showed enough sincerity and his attitude was always humble. He asked for help in order to help with local publicity. This was not an unreasonable request. It was clearly a small favor from the God of Wealth.
Therefore, with the help of the local person in charge, Ji Huaian soon met three shadow puppetry inheritors. The three of them did not look like artists in the traditional sense, but rather looked rather simple.
After the person in charge told the three people what Ji Huaian had said, the three people immediately said that this was a great opportunity to help the development of their hometown. How could they have the nerve to ask for money when others came to help them?
The three of them immediately expressed their willingness to help free of charge, and Ji Huaian said a lot of compliments, saying that they had a sense of justice, were both virtuous and talented, were selfless, and had boundless love.
The three descendants were confused by the praise. Was this really about them? Were they really so morally upright? It was embarrassing.
As Ji Huaian said, things went unexpectedly smoothly as they expected, and that night, Ji Huaian brought the three successors back to the inn.
Yuanluo didn't expect that the eldest brother was so reliable. She thought she was giving a multiple-choice question with three choices, but the eldest brother directly invited all of them back. Now, with these three people here, the matter is 90% stable.
Su Yijun, Cheng Bohui, Si Ran and Wang Zhe looked at the three somewhat reserved middle-aged men and guessed that this was the brother that Yuan Luo mentioned going to get help.
Su Yijun reacted the fastest and said directly: "The three teachers have come from afar and have worked hard. With your help, we feel at ease."
Although the few of them were not fans of the star, Su Yijun was quite popular among the public and the three of them knew her. When they met the big star in person, she greeted them without any airs, which made them somewhat flattered.
Cheng Bohui noticed that some people were feeling uncomfortable, so he came out and asked them to sit down.
"You haven't had dinner yet, right? It's just right, the food is ready, you guys are in for a treat, just in time for dinner, eat first, and then we'll talk about work."
After having dinner together, everyone became less reserved. Si Ran and Wang Zhe went to invite an old man from the village who was good at shadow puppetry to discuss the details.
There are eight steps in making shadow puppets, and it takes about four to five days to complete all of them. In addition, the materials needed to make shadow puppets must also be carefully selected.
After hearing this, Ji Huaian said that they would make a list of what was needed and he would arrange the things. The problem of raw materials had been solved, and people who could make shadow puppets had been found. All that was left was new lyrics and music.
Wang Zhe also joined the discussion, expressed their ideas, and followed them to learn. The decisions were mainly made by several successors. Wang Zhe went there with the intention of learning from the beginning.
