I found a cell phone from ten years ago.

Chapter 73 Heroine

On Sunday, around 9 o'clock in the morning, Li Xu came to the McDonald's near the south gate of Normal University.

As soon as I walked into the store, I saw Liu Xin wearing McDonald's work clothes behind the counter.

She had a bright smile on her face and looked lively and full of energy.

That’s right, this is the heroine he is looking for.

Seeing Li Xu, Liu Xin smiled in surprise and said, "You came here to eat alone today?"

The last time the two met was more than a month ago.

Li Xu smiled at her and said, "I'm not here to eat. I came here to see you today."

"Looking for me? What do you want to talk to me about?" Liu Xin was even more surprised and asked with a smile.

Li Xu restrained his smile, nodded and said, "Well, I have something to talk to you about. Can I talk to you alone for a while?"

Liu Xin thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then wait for me."

After that, she went to talk to the manager on duty, then walked out from behind the counter and said to Li Xu, "Then let's go out and talk."

"Why don't we talk in the store?" Li Xu suggested.

Then, he ordered two set meals and found a seat by the window and sat down with Liu Xin.

"What do you want to talk to me about?" Liu Xin asked with a smile.

Li Xu did not answer directly, but instead asked: "Do you have a boyfriend?"

Liu Xin was stunned for a moment and said, "Why are you asking this?"

Then, she smiled jokingly and said, "You're not trying to chase me, are you?"

"I have a girlfriend." Li Xu said with a bit of amusement.

"What I'm going to say is based on the assumption that you don't have a boyfriend. If you do, forget it."

Liu Xin became even more curious after hearing this. "I don't have a boyfriend yet. Can you tell me what the matter is?"

"I'm going to shoot a love vlog video about a couple's daily life, and I'd like to invite you to be the heroine..."

Li Xu briefly explained to Liu Xin what a couple vlog video is.

When it came to choosing the heroine for the couple's vlog, Li Xu immediately ruled out his official girlfriend, Luo Jiahui. First, she didn't meet the requirements, and second, he wouldn't use his girlfriend to make a living.

If you want this kind of couple vlog to become popular, the prerequisite is that the heroine must be popular with the audience - she must be beautiful but not aggressive, and she must look well-behaved, likable, and harmless.

The personality should be outgoing, lively, cute and expressive.

Simply put, it means "silly and sweet".

Li Xu considered all the girls he had met since arriving in Jiangning: Xiao Yu, Yu Enxin, Guan Jiayu, Li Yajie, Fu Linlin, Sun Wenjing, Jiang Jingni, Su Youyou, Liang Hui...

In the end, we found that only Liu Xin was the most suitable, and she could be said to fully meet the requirements.

She is pretty, lively, cute, and likable. She especially likes to laugh, and looks a little silly when she laughs. She is harmless and not aggressive at all.

After hearing what Li Xu said, Liu Xin's eyes lit up instantly, and she asked with interest, "Are you asking me to take a couple video and then upload it online?"

"We are just acting as a couple in name only," Li Xu emphasized.

The reason why he asked Liu Xin if she had a boyfriend first was because few people could accept their girlfriends filming couple videos with other boys, even if it was just acting and there was no intimate contact.

Anyway, he definitely couldn't accept Luo Jiahui filming a couple vlog with other boys.

"Then are you willing to be the heroine?" Li Xu asked.

Liu Xin smiled and nodded vigorously, "I do! Why would I refuse such a good thing?"

Then, as if she had thought of something, she said, "Will your girlfriend have any objections? Why don't you ask her to be the heroine?"

"Don't worry, she has no objection at all." Li Xu made the decision for Luo Jiahui directly, and she had to accept it even if she didn't want to.

Besides, he had a clear conscience. He was just shooting the video and had no other thoughts.

Liu Xin is quite pretty, lively and cute, but she's too girlish and lacks a bit of femininity. To describe her in a more than a decade's time, she'd be called a "little kid."

He doesn't hit children.

Li Xu looked at Liu Xin and explained, "Although this kind of couple vlog may seem simple, not everyone can be the heroine. You have to meet certain conditions.

I'm looking for you because you have the right appearance, but I'll have to try it to know if it's possible.

I won't be on camera during the shoot, so it's quite difficult to perform in front of the camera alone."

Liu Xin smiled and nodded, "Okay, then I'll give it a try."

"Then let's shoot a few videos first to try it out. If they get a good response online, we'll officially collaborate. If not, forget it."

Li Xu paused, then continued, "The pay is calculated based on the length of filming. 15 yuan an hour, is that acceptable to you?"

"I still get paid?" Liu Xin said in surprise.

"Of course there is pay. I can't let you work for free. You can get eight dollars an hour for your part-time job here. Just don't think it's too little." Li Xu said with a smile.

15 yuan an hour is really low pay, almost the same as the price of extras.

Liu Xin quickly shook her head and said, "It's not too little. I didn't even think there would be a salary. I'd be willing to do it even if there's no money."

"You will definitely be paid. This is just the beginning, so the money is relatively small. If the video becomes really popular and generates income, not only will your pay increase, but you will also get a share of the profits."

After Li Xu finished speaking, he asked, "Do you have any other questions?"

Liu Xin smiled and shook her head, then said, "When do we start filming?"

"That depends on when you have time. When are you free these days?"

"I have time today."

"Today? Don't you still have to work?" Li Xu was a little surprised. This Liu Xin seemed to be quite concerned about this matter.

"I'll just take a leave," Liu Xin said with a smile, then explained, "It's the end of the semester, I need to review for the exam, and I don't plan to continue working part-time."

"Okay, since you have time, let's start shooting today." Li Xu nodded.

"Then I'll go ask the manager for leave." Liu Xin said, standing up and going to find the manager on duty.

"Wait a minute, don't be so anxious, eat first." Li Xu called her with a smile and pointed to the hamburger and Coke on the table that had not been touched.

Liu Xin is quite impatient and impetuous.

"Yeah, I was so busy talking that I forgot to eat." Liu Xin smiled embarrassedly, picked up the burger and started eating.

When she smiled, her silly side came back.

After finishing her meal, Liu Xin asked for leave from the manager on duty, changed her clothes, and left McDonald's with Li Xu.

"Before the shoot, I need to make some preparations. Do you think this outfit looks good on me?" Liu Xin stopped and said to Li Xu.

Li Xu looked Liu Xin up and down. She was wearing a windbreaker and jeans today. She also tied her hair into a ponytail, probably to make it easier for work.

"Then go back to the dorm first, change into something nicer, let your hair down, and put on some light makeup. The standard is to make sure that no one can tell you're wearing makeup."

He wanted to shoot a vlog of a student couple, so there was no need for Liu Xin to dress up deliberately, a student style would be fine.

Liu Xin nodded to show that she understood.

"Give me your phone number. When you're done packing, call me. I'll get the filming equipment and call the photographer and assistant director over. We'll meet in your school cafeteria."

Li Xu took out his cell phone and said this. He didn't have Liu Xin's cell phone number yet, otherwise he wouldn't have come to McDonald's to find her.

"There are also photographers and directors?" Liu Xin also took out his mobile phone and said in surprise.

When she first heard Li Xu say that he wanted to shoot a video with her, she thought he just bought a DV and wanted to shoot for fun.

In the end, not only was she paid, but there were also photographers and assistant directors, and it felt quite professional.
