Chapter 417
After the official announcement, the various teams successively received notices from the crew to take official costume photos. [Qin Wei] had class in the morning and was unavailable, so all the work was arranged in the afternoons and evenings.
The first class also ran into [Ye Jiahe]. Since it was an unimportant elective, [Ye Jiahe] let her rest her eyes for a bit, knowing that later she would be going to take photos, which would take up the entire day.
Previously, she had only felt that [Qin Wei] would only need to wear beautiful clothes and casually pose in front of the camera, after all no matter what [Qin Wei] looked good.
But after following Director Yuan for this period of time, she gradually came to understand that hair and makeup and styling takes several hours; posing according to requirements and taking photos is also no easy task. Behind every usable photo are hundreds of shots, taking up several hours, while also facing lights and flashbulbs, having to maintain one's composure and cooperate the entire time.
With such tight schedules and heavy tasks, costume photos require shooting several outfits in one day, changing clothes back and forth, redoing hair and makeup and styling taking up several more hours each time.
Come to think of it, it really is quite tiring, but as a little fan in the past, [Ye Jiahe] had never heard [Qin Wei] complain about it in public.
"Aren't you tired at all? Or are you cultivating immortality?"
[Ye Jiahe]'s suggestion was rejected, and she couldn't help but ask [Qin Wei].
[Qin Wei] was already very used to this kind of pace, breezily responding:
"I'm not tired. I'm paying to attend school, so I can't waste it and have to listen attentively. Whenever I have free time I sleep, I'm not cultivating immortality. I have a unique skill for catching up on sleep...
But what exactly is the teacher saying in this New Media Operations class? I can understand every word, but strung together in sentences I can't understand at all?"
[Qin Wei] looked at the words written on the blackboard, at one point suspecting it was her own problem. She put on her glasses, but still did not understand.
[Ye Jiahe] said:
"It's teaching you how to operate your own social media accounts, how to choose an attractive headline, copywriting, shooting and editing videos, then gain followers and bring traffic to yourself."
[Qin Wei] was silent for a few seconds before asking her:
"Oh, so I'm learning how to be an influencer?"
[Ye Jiahe] could not deny it, but still had to tell her it wasn't so absolute:
"Including but not limited to being an influencer. Some short video bloggers and the like are also included."
The teacher had finished the main lecture and began assigning homework for the term—
"What you all need to do this term is register an account on a short video platform, personally operating it the entire time, posting at least one short video every day without limitation on subject, no plagiarism or reposting, anything else is fine as long as it's legal.
The above are the basic requirements. The goal that needs to be met is gaining 500,000 followers, posting no less than 100 short videos, videos with less than 100 likes do not count toward the total. Buying followers is not allowed and will be considered cheating if caught.
This makes up 80% of your final grade, the remaining 20% goes to those who gain over 500,000 followers."
The students in the classroom sighed:
"What about you?"
[Qin Wei] thought for a bit:
"I'll just casually shoot some plants and whatnot..."
[Ye Jiahe] sighed:
"I guess so. This assignment is no challenge for you. As soon as you open an account you'd instantly gain millions of followers. Casually posting a wall would get over ten thousand likes...But I feel doing the bare minimum like that would be too dismissive of your fans and the class..."
"I'll give it more thought then."
After [Qin Wei] finished speaking, she reached out to [Li Liang] for earplugs and an eye mask and started napping.
Asleep in just a few minutes.
[Ye Jiahe] looked to [Li Liang], who just nodded without a word:
"Mm-hmm, catching naps in every available moment is always how it is."
...
By the time [Qin Wei] arrived, it was about time for lunch. [Qiao] was also there, but had already been shooting for a whole morning, much further along than her.
From six in the morning til now without any break for a drink of water.
[Xiao Wang] had prepared herbal tea and a vegetable salad, half of which was snatched by [Qin Wei].
[Ye Jiahe] said she shouldn't eat anymore and to eat after finishing shooting.
[Qiao] didn't say anything and set it down in front of her to eat.
[Xiao Wang] found an excuse to pull [Ye Jiahe] away to help with something so she'd leave.
[Xiao Wang's Diary: My gradually increasing mastery of my sister's protective instincts allowed me to very cleverly pull away Director Yuan's little assistant right as she was about to go into protection mode, thereby avoiding my sister getting angry and yelling at someone as well as a youngster getting hurt. Perfectly defusing a disaster. I'm so awesome!
This kid is also something. A qualified assistant needs to keep an eye on their surroundings while also playing a bit dumb and deaf. The most important thing for an assistant is emotional intelligence!
It's obvious that when the silly sweetheart wants to eat, my sister will scold her. But if you scold her, she will definitely get angry! Protect the baby! She is super protective of this roommate!
Why be so oblivious? Can't you see that when my sister is around no one else is allowed to say anything to the silly sweetheart? Although she herself scolds her all the time, just because she can scold doesn't mean others can scold as well! Isn't this common sense?
It's like if your kid studies poorly and you scold them every day, but if others also come scold them, would you be happy?
She definitely wouldn't be happy! And if she's not happy then things get really difficult for me. This intern really is hardheaded, corporate slaves need to stay away from them!]
