Promotional video

  Thanks for the reward from Black Magic Master 588 and also thanks for the reward from Wenxin!

  "What's going on?" Ye Sumang asked as she walked side by side with Cui Li towards the directing department's teaching building.

  "It's simple, the college is about to start recruiting again, so I want to find you to shoot a promotional short film."

  "Promotional short film? Isn't that the responsibility of the college's instructors?" Ye Sumeng was shocked, her eyes wide with surprise. The film academy's promotional video actually wanted to find a newcomer like herself to star in it?

  If it's really like that, then he must admire the college's boldness.

  "You misunderstood, of course not to find you as a director!" Cui Li saw Ye Su Mang's surprised look and knew he had understood it wrong: "I'm looking for you as an actor. Letting you act, not direct."

  Choi Li's explanation only made Ye Su Meng more confused, he had never systematically learned acting before.

  "Mentor, I think you should also understand my situation. Although I can take pictures, acting seems to be really not my forte," said Ye Sumang with some difficulty.

  "It doesn't matter, it's just a shot, every department will find some well-known alumni on campus to participate, you don't want the directing department to be absent from this year's promotional video, do you?"

  Cui Li said that, and Ye Su Mang also nodded in understanding. Since it was just a three-second shot, he was happy to help his instructor out, especially since it represented the directing department he belonged to.

  Kyoto Film Academy has its own studio, which is usually used by students of the acting and cinematography departments.

  This place is often used to shoot some student-made short films or rehearse small plays, temporarily setting up some small scenes and the like. When Cui Li took Ye Su Mang in, she found that there were already many people gathered inside.

  Ye Su Meng's sudden appearance attracted the attention of many people in the scene. One girl, looking at the two who walked in, also had a sparkle in her eyes.

  "Leaves, here, leaves!!!"

  "Huh?" Suddenly hearing a familiar voice, Ye Sumeng immediately looked over and saw a girl waving her arms, and smiled as she called out: "Dandan! Long time no see."

  Yè Sūmáng also recognized herself when she saw her, and the girl immediately responded with a brilliant smile. She was none other than Wáng Luódān, whom she had not seen for a long time.

  This time back to Beijing, Ye Sumang had originally contacted her and Dong Xuan, but Dong Xuan was already far away in Wuxi Film and Television City in Jiangnan due to filming on location, while Wang Luodan also couldn't be found because of a phone call that didn't go through, unexpectedly running into each other again here.

  "Yèzi, when did you return to Kyoto? You didn't even contact me, it's so heartbreaking!" Wang Luodan excitedly patted Ye Sumang's chest and asked with a mix of joy and complaint.

  "You're really wrong this time, who told you not to turn on your phone, every time I call it's always turned off!"

  "Oh dear, my phone was damaged a while back and I left it at the repair shop, but I completely forgot to pick it up." Looking at Ye Su Mang's slightly resentful expression, Wang Luo Dan suddenly realized what had happened and scratched the back of her head in embarrassment.

  Ye Sumeng sighed and indeed this young lady was still very careless.

  Fortunately, Ye Sumeng was already used to her horse, and after explaining a sentence to Cui Li beside her, she was taken by Wang Luodan to meet her classmates.

  On weekdays, Wang Luodan often bragged to her classmates about knowing Ye Sumang. Now that the real person had arrived, she naturally wanted to show him off to her good sisters and boast a bit.

  As expected, when her classmates heard that the handsome boy Wang Luodan was pulling was Ye Sumang, the legendary director who created a box office miracle, they all surrounded him enthusiastically, as if they had seen a giant panda, with a mixture of curiosity and admiration, their eyes turned to Wang Luodan, with undisguised envy.

  This made Wang Luodan even more pleased.

  Suddenly, with Ye Sumang's joining, Wang Luodan's sister circle topic also shifted to Ye Sumang for a while.

  "Yeh classmate, Dandan told us you're her good friend, good buddy, is that true?"

  "Junior student, I wasn't at school when interviewing actors for [Nightclub], what a pity."

  "Director Ye Da, when are you preparing for your next movie? Can I participate in a role or something?"

  A group of girls chattered incessantly, asking him endless questions, some about movies and others about his relationship with Wang Luodan. Many of the female students occasionally flirted with him while also inquiring about their next film project. In just ten minutes, Ye Sumang's head had grown a full circle from all the questioning.

  "Ye Sumang, come and try on the costume..." Just as Ye Sumang was thinking of a way to escape, Cui Li suddenly shouted at Ye Sumang from not far away. It turned out that the promotional video was about to start shooting and they were looking for Ye Sumang to go to the dressing room to try on the costume.

  "Yeh, I didn't know you were here to film a promotional video! I'm so envious!" Wang Luodan was shocked, not expecting that Ye Sumang wasn't there to watch the play, but to act in it. Her words also spoke out for many of her classmates, as these promotional videos usually only feature well-known alumni, especially those from their performance department, where competition is fierce.

  "Aren't you here to take pictures too?" Ye Sumang was somewhat puzzled, thinking that everyone present was the same as him.

  Wang Luodan shook his head somewhat helplessly and quickly explained it to him.

  "What's with the formality? We're all just here to help out and maybe get a chance to play a passerby, unlike you who's so serious..." Wang Luodan said with a slightly sour tone, this little junior brother always manages to crush her confidence whenever he appears.

  Ye Su Man only then knew how important this opportunity given by Cui Li was for these performing arts students.

  The staff over there started urging again, and Ye Sumang could only hastily bid farewell to Wang Luodan and ran to the dressing room. At this time, Cui Li was already inside discussing with the costume designer about the matching of clothes.

  "This kid looks great in a shirt, you just need to match him with something clean and refreshing, but don't lose the stability." Cui Li still remembered that day at the school gate, the Ye Sumang who made her feel incredibly amazed.

  The dresser made an OK gesture and happened to see Ye Sumang walking in, her eyes lit up instantly.

  "Let me introduce you, this is Ye Sumang." Cui Li also saw Ye Sumang at this time and immediately introduced him to the costume designer.

  After shaking hands with the two men, the tailor helped Ye Sumang measure his body proportions and waist circumference again, then dived into the pile of clothes to pick out some clothes.

  Soon, the dresser picked out a pure white fitted shirt and a beige suspenders pants from a pile of clothes and handed them to Ye Sumang's hands, while also holding a pair of dark brown leather shoes. At the same time, he pushed Ye Sumang into the dressing room and placed the shoes at the door.

  The door of the dressing room opened soon, and Ye Sumang, who had a golden proportion body shape, looked good in whatever clothes she wore. This carefully selected set was no exception, with a youthful yet steady temperament, and a unique sense of fashion that drew everyone's attention in the makeup room involuntarily.

  "Come on, bring this glasses too."

  Ye Sumang had just put on her leather shoes when the makeup artist brought over a pair of vintage round-framed glasses.

  Ye Su Mang took it and put it on the bridge of his nose, feeling a bit unaccustomed to it. But Cui Li beside him was already applauding and praising: "Very good, this style is just right, makeup artist, give him a light makeup..."

  Half an hour later, Ye Sumang finally walked out of the dressing room.

  It wasn't long before and after, but he had completely changed his appearance. He was youthful but not lacking in stability, fashionable with a hint of retro style, instantly captivating the attention of everyone present.
