Rebirth in 2011: Starting as an Advertising Genius

"Senior Zhou, you can pose like this!"

"Yes, that's it! Lift your left leg forward and lean your body forward slightly!"

"Lift your lower leg back a little!"

"Laugh, then cover your mouth!"

"Place your palms outwards on your forehead!"

Xia An and Zhou Xueer: ...

You just said you didn't have any requirements,

And how come you seem to know how to pose even better than girls?

Xia An was stunned.

"Junior, where did you learn these poses? And I must say, the photos turn out really well!"

Zhou Xueer and Xia An lay together, looking at the pictures on the camera, as if they had opened the door to a new world.

Most popular portrait photography nowadays still focuses on unconventional poses, so the poses Chen Jianghe mentioned, while relatively simple, are indeed quite novel for many people.

Zhou Xueer changed clothes several times, and Xia An gradually found her rhythm. The two became more and more comfortable filming, and later they basically didn't need Chen Jianghe to give any guidance.

Around 10 o'clock, Chen Jianghe felt he had enough materials, and Xia Anyue's photography club members also arrived.

"Holy crap, Jiang He, you've gone all out! I'm starting to feel a little nervous."

Although Tian Ke knew she was going to film a video today,

But I didn't expect there to be seven or eight people together, and the female lead is quite pretty!

"Wow, our clothes are so beautiful!"

Tian Ke had never paid much attention to her own products before, only to discover that her own clothes were actually so tasteful.

No wonder they weren't selling!

This outfit only looks good on beautiful women!

"Alright everyone, get ready, we're going to film. After filming, the boss said he'll treat us to barbecue at SM Plaza!"

Xia An, as the organizer of this event, was both the photographer who contacted Chen Jianghe and the organizer of the photography club members.

These photography club members have taken many videos and photos before, but this is the first time they've acted in a film or TV show, so everyone is quite excited.

[Act One: Working Women]

As the lead actress, Zhou Xueer walked through the office corridor in a business suit, and the male colleagues around her looked at her with a hint of mockery in their eyes.

Her eyes seemed to say that she got to where she is today by selling her body.

You can only smell my perfume.

With the curtains drawn, Zhou Xueer was diligently typing away at her keyboard alone in the late-night office.

To finish tomorrow's proposal, she might have to spend the night at the company.

But they didn't see my sweat.

During the presentation of the proposal, the client tried to take the opportunity to touch Zhou Xue'er's hand, but she slapped it away and walked away.

You have your rules.

I have my own choices.

"Tian Ke, it's your turn!"

Xia An showed the first scene, which had just been filmed, to Chen Jianghe, and there were basically no major problems.

In fact, as far as I remember, the video that Chen filmed to endorse himself was rather rough. He probably just wanted to save on production costs at first, so he had the boss appear in the video himself. But unexpectedly, it was this simple scene and story, coupled with the caption, that made the video go viral.

The core of this piece is the copywriting, not the visuals.

Even a decade or more later, such copywriting still has a certain influence, and its brilliance is by no means outdated.

"Jiang He, I'm a little nervous, what should I do?"

Many people are like this; they feel obviously unnatural in front of the camera. This kind of thing requires rehearsal.

However, their video is relatively simple because it doesn't require any dialogue.

"What's the rush if you don't have any lines?! Bullshit!"

"You might be filming even more epic movies in the future, with bigger scenes, so you'll need to train!"

"Huh? You'll film again in the future?"

Tian Ke was just unaware that Chen Jianghe's video was going to be posted all over the internet, otherwise she would have been even more panicked.

The same applies to students from other photography clubs.

"Being an actor doesn't seem that special! Easy!"

"It's actually quite fun. For some reason, the feeling of being watched by a camera makes me consciously try to adjust my posture!"

Seeing that everyone was getting more and more distracted, Xia An immediately stopped them.

[Act Two: A Dream Misunderstood by His Father]

The father slapped his son's drawing board away.

This prop is readily available; their art school has no shortage of drawing boards.

The actor who played Tian Ke's father was a canteen uncle whom Chen Jianghe hired for a pack of cigarettes. He only had two or three scenes, but he came running over happily after getting a free pack of cigarettes.

You deny my present.

The admission notice from the Central Academy of Fine Arts arrived, and Tian Ke carefully accepted the university notice.

I decide my own future.

The subsequent filming plan is proceeding smoothly. Basically, all the scenes needed can be found on campus, which saves a lot of time.

However, there were still many takes along the way. Xia An had high standards for herself, and she redid every shot she wasn't satisfied with.

Everyone enjoyed it immensely, treating it like a game.

Until Tian Ke punched the void, it seemed as if there was an invisible glass in front of him.

I am Tian Ke, and I speak for myself.

The End!

"Hey junior boss, the footage for this video is basically finished. I'll edit it tonight. Should I find someone online to do the voice-over?"

The junior's boss?

Strange and unusual names!

But in his previous life he was Xia An's boss, so is he going to become her boss again in this life?

That seems like a good idea!

Chen Jianghe shook his head: "Don't find it online, just use Tian Ke's voice acting!"

The core of this video is to attract young people and compete with older audiences for customers; the younger the audience, the more it resonates with them.

Xia An thought for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, I'll record him later!"

Chen Jianghe suddenly remembered something and said:

"Senior, can I borrow your DSLR camera the day after tomorrow?"

He had arranged to have his advisor take photos on Saturday, but he didn't have the resources to buy a DSLR camera, so he had to borrow one temporarily.

Xia An did not hesitate.

"I'll export the footage tonight and give it to you tomorrow night!"

She didn't know Chen Jianghe's photography skills, but she felt that he definitely knew how to take photos. Otherwise, during the shooting process, he wouldn't have been able to improve the quality of the picture so much with just a few casual suggestions.

Filming complete.

All the extras, except for the cafeteria worker, enjoyed a delicious barbecue at the commercial plaza next to the school, arranged by Chen Jianghe.

After finishing her meal, Xia Ran prepared to go back and edit the video. She planned to finish editing the video and give it to Chen Jianghe tomorrow, and then collect the remaining 1000 yuan.

Chen Jianghe also returned to his dormitory.

My roommates are planning to record new video footage, and they're very enthusiastic.

Chen Jianghe then remembered to check how many views the video he posted last night had.
