Chapter 2 filming in progress
The web series "A Rare Good Time" is a campus romance film. The male and female leads are both unknown minor stars, but they are definitely more famous than Ling Xia.
The script tells the story of the male and female protagonists who are childhood sweethearts and bickering lovers.
The two got into the same university. During their university years, the male protagonist had a crush on the aloof campus beauty, but she wasn't interested in him. He kept his crush a secret as a friend.
The female lead learns about the male lead's feelings through a diary. She instantly transforms into an emotional mentor, offering him heartfelt guidance and helping him emerge from his grief.
After spending time together, the male protagonist realized that his feelings for the goddess were just admiration, while his true love was for the female protagonist. In the end, the two lived happily ever after.
Ling Xia plays the role of a cool and aloof school beauty. She has only a few lines in one scene, and all she needs to do is maintain her cool demeanor and not smile. She acts as a catalyst for the relationship between the male and female leads.
"Would anyone watch such a mindless web series?" Ling Xia wondered, sitting in the dressing room.
"My dear little beauty, your makeup is done."
Hearing the sound, Ling Xia looked up at herself in the mirror and opened her mouth.
She wore an off-the-shoulder white dress, and her long, black, wavy hair was styled into a high ponytail to show off her youthful vibe; her bright eyes seemed to speak volumes; her skin was fair, and her cheeks were flushed—she was definitely a goddess.
"As expected of an artist, her looks are definitely on par with top-tier stars," the stylist gave Ling Xia a thumbs up. "She's even prettier than the female lead in this drama. If it weren't for the investors' handpicked choice for the female lead..." He paused for a moment... The two exchanged a knowing smile, knowing what was going on, and left it at that.
Ling Xia commented that the entertainment industry is indeed full of scandals.
The stylist is a woman around 40 years old. She has no competitive relationship with the actresses like Ling Xia.
Seeing young people is like seeing one's own children, and because of her professional habits, she pays special attention to beautiful things. She thinks that Ling Xia is beautiful, with skin so smooth that she hardly needs to wear makeup, and that she is simply blessed by God.
Finally, the two happily took a group photo to commemorate the occasion.
Years later, when Ling Xia became a popular celebrity, her stylist would tell her colleagues that this was the most beautiful work he had ever done. Of course, that's another story.
The web series was filmed smoothly. The reason why Xia was injured unexpectedly became a trending topic. Although it was outside the top 30, the director was very happy. He was able to get on the trending topic without spending any extra money, which saved on publicity costs.
The director was so pleased that he decided to postpone all of Ling Xia's scenes until later in the filming. Ling Xia didn't have many scenes; she was mostly just a background character. When her face was shown, she just needed to maintain a cool demeanor and not look at the male lead.
The male and female leads were also very friendly to Ling Xia because of the popularity of the blog, and did not cause trouble for Ling Xia just because they needed to cooperate with her during filming.
After a week of filming, Lingxia officially wrapped up her shoot.
When filming wrapped, since both the male and female leads were present, the director ordered a simple wrap ceremony plus a buffet.
While Sister Zhao was chatting with the director and screenwriter, Ling Xia took the opportunity to grab some fried chicken and kebabs from the buffet.
While eating kebabs, her eyes kept drifting towards the director. When she saw Sister Yang coming over, she immediately put down the lamb kebabs and put a few broccoli florets on the plate.
The crew members who were having a buffet were completely dumbfounded when they saw Ling Xia's actions.
Ling Xia was quite satisfied with her speed. She winked at the staff member, as if to say, "This is a secret, don't tell anyone."
Staff: ...
Sister Zhao and Ling Xia bid farewell to all the staff with great satisfaction, announcing the official end of their work.
......
Those who follow the "Rare Good Times" production team are mostly fans of the male and female leads. Although the number is small, they deserve the respect due to fans. After more than a month of filming, the 16-episode web series has been completed and is now in post-production.
In order to capitalize on the hype, the director and post-production team finished editing the trailer in just two working days and immediately posted it on the official Weibo account.
The PR team is really good at creating buzz [Shocking! The blood-covered person on set was actually her].
This prompted a large number of unsuspecting passersby to click on the video.
One passerby clicked on the video and commented, "This is a case of mistaken identity."
An insider (a crew member) pointed out the key point: "The woman in the last shot was covered in blood."
Passerby [Shocked.jpg, she's gorgeous! I need all her information in one minute!]
Beautiful women naturally generate buzz, with many people moving from the official Weibo account to Ling Xia's Weibo to follow her.
Lingxia's official Weibo account has seen its number of followers rise from 200 to 1, and it continues to rise.
Ling Xia initially thought that the fans were bought by her manager, Sister Zhao. She whispered to Sister Zhao, "You might as well give me the money you spent on buying fans." Sister Zhao rolled her eyes at her.
……
The woman in the trailer only shows her profile for about 3 seconds, but it reveals all of Ling Xia's strengths.
With eyebrows like green mountains, eyes like autumn water, a high and straight nose, striking features, and an enviable figure.
Many netizens have complained that the video has bugs and that the director is inhuman.
The director couldn't stop laughing when he saw the number of videos under the official Weibo account increasing rapidly and a large number of netizens following the account because they were asking whether Ling Xia was a blood person.
While the hype is still going strong, the director has decided to hold a video conference tonight for promotional activities.
The staff immediately notified the male and female leads, as well as Ling Xia's agent, to arrange the live broadcast task.
Upon receiving the news, the male and female protagonists immediately agreed.
The more buzz an actor generates, the more popular the show becomes. A good show benefits the actors. The two are mutually reinforcing.
They understand this principle perfectly well and have no reason to disagree.
The official Weibo account of "A Rare Good Time" announced that they will be chatting with the cast and crew about interesting things that happened on set tonight at 8 PM on the Silver Fox live streaming platform. (Photos of Lu Xinghe, Chen Keke, and Ling Xiajia are included.)
The three immediately retweeted the official account:
Lu Xinghe V: Forwarded [Tonight at 8 PM, join the Silver Fox live stream platform to chat with the main cast and crew about fun things that happened in the theater @Lu Xinghe @Chen Keke @Ling Xia] Looking forward to seeing my friends again.
Chen Keke V: Forwarded [Tonight at 8 PM, join the Silver Fox live stream platform to chat with the cast and crew about fun things that happened in the theater @Lu Xinghe @Chen Keke @Ling Xia.] Let's step into some good times together, smile.jpg
Lingxia V: Forwarded: [Tonight at 8 PM, join the Silver Fox live stream platform to chat with the cast and crew about fun things that happened in the theater @Lu Xinghe @Chen Keke @Lingxia.] Looking forward to it.
Fans of the male and female leads were making lively comments on Weibo.
[Lu Shuai is so handsome, my brother loves me]
[We've caught a live fairy!]
Ah, my little fairy Coco is the most beautiful!
The comments section on Weibo, "Why do I think Ling Xia is the most beautiful?" was overwhelmed by the male and female fans.
[Oh, that beautiful girl's name is Ling Xia! I'm so excited! *smiles*]
Upon receiving the news, Sister Zhao immediately notified Ling Xia, who was currently unemployed and being forced to do yoga by her agent, to prepare for a live talent show. Sister Zhao sensed that this was an opportunity.
Ling Xia: ?
Does being an artist require talent?
Ling Xia thought to herself, "I am not worthy."
"At 8 PM, on the Silver Fox live streaming platform, the director of 'Happy Times' will connect with you. Of course, you're just the side dish; the main course is still the male and female leads."
I've gone on to explain the live streaming process and things to keep in mind.
Do you understand?
After finishing her sentence in one breath, Sister Zhao looked at Ling Xia.
She could have accompanied Lingxia on her live stream, but another artist under her management ran into some trouble. She had to rush to the next event to resolve it, so she decided to hire an assistant for Lingxia tomorrow.
"I understand," Ling Xia replied obediently.
Sister Zhao: ?
The more obedient Xia was, the more uneasy I felt, and I gave her another piece of advice before leaving.
After Sister Zhao left, Ling Xia began to think about how there are many forms of live streaming, but she didn't seem to know many of them.
With the male and female leads present, I can just play a minor role throughout the whole thing.
Hmm~, Lingxia seemed to remember something, her eyes sparkling.
