Chapter 463: Chapter 465: Is it still okay? No way

”Fei’er, I still need an advertisement shooting team here, do you have any good suggestions?”

After signing the contract and paying the money, Qin Tian asked Liu Fei’er.

Hearing this, Liu Fei’er pondered for a moment and said, ”There is one, a photography studio where I did an internship before. It’s very small, but I think the owner’s photography skills are really good. I went there to take my portrait photos before, the prices are affordable, and the results are very good.”

”Oh, you’ve done portrait photography?” Qin Tian smiled.

Liu Fei’er immediately blushed with embarrassment, ”We who study acting take portrait photos to self-recommend to various crews and directors for internships and part-time jobs, in hopes of getting acting opportunities, so...”

As she spoke, Liu Fei’er thought of something, ”However, sigh, all my portrait shoots were in vain. Aside from playing a maid with only one line once, I never got any other opportunities. It’s too hard for students like us with no connections to make a name in acting...”

Hearing this, Qin Tian chuckled, ”It’s okay, maybe you’ll become famous after shooting this advertisement for me?”

Liu Fei’er smiled and said nothing more.

She was not familiar with Qin Tian’s pharmaceutical company, so she thought Qin Tian was just joking. As for becoming famous, she hadn’t really considered it.

Becoming famous from a single advertisement was so improbable; besides, she didn’t even know where the advertisement would be promoted... Thus, Liu Fei’er felt it was highly unlikely.

”Then first take me to that studio to have a look. If it’s not suitable, we can find another one. As long as the shooting results are good, I don’t care about fame,” said Qin Tian.

Liu Fei’er took a taxi and brought Qin Tian to a small studio named ”Starlight Photography Studio” outside the Fourth Ring of Beijing.

This studio was indeed small, probably about the size of two storefronts, and seemed a bit run-down.

Liu Fei’er had worked part-time here before, so she was quite familiar with the place and confidently walked inside, calling out, ”Brother Tao, Brother Tao.”

”Oh, Fei’er? What brings you here!”

A middle-aged man immediately greeted Liu Fei’er enthusiastically upon seeing her.

Behind the middle-aged man was a woman in her thirties, who appeared to be a staff member of the studio.

After exchanging pleasantries with Liu Fei’er, the middle-aged man’s gaze quickly turned to Qin Tian.

Liu Fei’er promptly introduced, ”Brother Tao, this is the boss of Qin Pharmaceutical from Zhonghai City... Qin Tian. Brother Tian, this is the owner of the studio, Rui Hongtao, and this is his wife Chen Hong, Sister Hong.”

After the introductions, Rui Hongtao immediately shook hands with Qin Tian warmly, saying, ”Boss Qin, hello, hello!”

Chen Hong quickly offered tea and water, inviting Qin Tian and Liu Fei’er to take a seat.

The couple wasn’t foolish; they could tell at a glance that Liu Fei’er was there to introduce a client. Fei’er had introduced her classmates to take portrait photos at the studio before, so Rui Hongtao thought that this time Liu Feifei had brought a boss, and there might be a big business opportunity worth tens of thousands. He felt a little thrill inside.

”Mr. Rui, Fei’er says your photography skills are good, so I came to check it out. Mainly, my company is preparing to shoot an advertisement and since we don’t have a specialized publicity department, I’m planning to outsource this task...”

”Mr. Qin, rest assured, my photography and filming skills are well-known to Fei’er, and I absolutely don’t brag... Sigh, to tell the truth, I’m also a graduate student from the director’s department of the Beijing Film Academy. But with no connections and no money, I have never found a good job, so I started my own business...”

Rui Hongtao spoke with a heavy sigh and great excitement, even having Chen Hong retrieve his graduation and degree certificates to show to Qin Tian.

”Showbiz has too many unwritten rules. I worked as an intern director for a few days after my graduation, but I couldn’t stand the socializing, stuffing red envelopes, and facing discrimination and other rules, so in a fit of anger, I came here with my wife and opened a photo studio. In the blink of an eye, three years have passed. I was fully focused on becoming a director, but now, heh, being a photo studio owner isn’t bad either.”

Rui Hongtao said it with such emotion, his face streaked with tears and snot, which made Liu Fei’er and Qin Tian both feel somewhat awkward.

”Let’s do this. I won’t say much more. With Fei’er here, take a few pictures of her and then make a three-minute video short on ’health preservation’ for me to see. If it’s good, we’ll work together; if not, I’ll find someone else. That’s fair, right?” Qin Tian said straightforwardly.

”That’s absolutely fair, Mr. Qin. How about this, I’ll plan it out, and you can come see the video and photos tomorrow afternoon?” Rui Hongtao said excitedly.

Qin Tian agreed to Rui Hongtao’s request, and then, Liu Fei’er also stayed at Starlight Studio to help Rui Hongtao with the shoot.

After wandering around Beijing for a day, Qin Tian received a call from Rui Hongtao the next afternoon and immediately took a cab to Starlight Studio.

”Mr. Qin, the photos and video are ready, please come this way.”

As soon as Qin Tian entered the studio, Rui Hongtao received him enthusiastically, and then showed the portrait photos of Liu Fei’er and the short video about ”health preservation” on the computer.

It must be said that Rui Hongtao, indeed a graduate of the director’s department of the Beijing Film Academy, had his own unique insights when it came to filming.

For example, the portrait photos of Liu Fei’er, where he had her in ancient attire, sitting by a small pond full of lotus flowers, playing the zither. The color balance and lighting of the entire photo were simply perfect, and matched with Liu Fei’er’s light aqua-colored ancient dress, it looked completely natural. Qin Tian couldn’t help but glance at Liu Fei’er beside him after viewing the photos, praising, ”I never thought Fei’er would look so stunning in ancient attire.”

The three-minute video on ”health preservation,” a topic Qin Tian had casually suggested, was given a vintage charm by Rui Hongtao’s flexible choice of setting.

In the video, Liu Fei’er, in a white gown, danced among the verdant bamboo groves. The clear mountains and beautiful waters were refreshing to the viewer, complemented by the flowing water-like music, making the short film look exquisite.

At the end of the video, Liu Fei’er settled onto a bamboo raft on the green river and started practicing yoga, with a clear voice uttering the slogan, ”Healthy living starts with health preservation.”

Seamless transition, perfect!

”What do you think, Mr. Qin?”

After Qin Tian finished watching, Rui Hongtao couldn’t wait to hear his opinion.

”How did you manage this in one day?” Qin Tian asked curiously.

Rui Hongtao chuckled, ”The actual shooting didn’t take much time; it’s mainly the post-production work, using computer technology for processing. Heh, my undergraduate degree was in a relevant field, so I pulled an all-nighter last night and had the bulk of it finished by this morning. Mr. Qin, can we work together?”

Qin Tian raised an eyebrow and uttered just two words that changed the expressions of Rui Hongtao and the others.

”No way.”
