This time, the school invited students back to shoot the video, including Jiang Se, as well as several other students who performed well in the college entrance examination.
Faced with the makeshift studio, everyone was a little nervous.
Jiang Se was the first to finish her makeup. Because she was still a student, the makeup artist only applied a light layer of foundation on her, and the makeup was not heavy.
But even with light makeup, she is still stunningly beautiful under the light.
What surprised the photographer was that Jiang Se did not flinch at all in front of the camera, and his eyes did not flicker, as if he was not afraid of such a situation.
He tried taking a picture first, and asked someone to adjust the angle, then he made an 'OK' gesture, and everyone's eyes fell on Jiang Se who was sitting in the chair.
At this moment, the light was on her, the camera was aimed at her upper body, her facial expression looked very relaxed, and her eyes were facing the camera.
The head teacher took a piece of paper that had been printed long ago, stood beside the camera as instructed by the photographer, and raised it to Jiang Se:
"Just read from the paper."
There were some words written on the paper to thank the school for its training. Jiang Se read them silently twice and when he felt it was about right, he signaled that filming could begin.
The photographer had been prepared for a few NGs, but he didn't expect that she had such a good sense of the camera and got it right in one go.
After the shoot, the photographer went back to take a look at the finished film. Although the makeshift studio was very simple, there was only a piece of black velvet hanging behind Jiang Se as a backdrop.
But her outstanding appearance neutralized the dull colors in the studio and livened up the atmosphere.
A simple video of her saying a few words for the school actually had a certain texture because of her performance and appearance. Except for some surrounding scenes, Jiang Se looked very good without any editing.
The photographer was a little excited and asked her:
“Have you ever made a video before?”
Jiang Se smiled and nodded.
She had been to Shenzhuang before and played a role in Zhang Jing'an's "Rescue Operation" and had faced the camera before.
Although I don’t have much experience in shooting, I don’t get nervous when I see the camera.
After the video was taken, the head teacher walked towards her with a smile and said: "You performed very well."
"Thank you." When Jiang Se came here today, she was wearing the uniform prepared by the school. The simple school uniform looked much better on her than on others. Her waist was slender and the head teacher took a look at her. He really didn't expect that this student would give him so many surprises.
She has taught several graduating classes, but among the students she taught, there were not many who were as beautiful and had good grades as Jiang Se.
"The photographer Tan Ming who was invited back praised your photos and even wondered if you had faced the camera before."
The head teacher didn't pay much attention to Jiang Se before, he only knew that she was very close to Lu Baobao. This time he didn't expect that they were classmates, one performed outstandingly, while the other didn't even step into the threshold of university.
"You performed well in the college entrance examination this time, which shows that you have worked hard in the past. It's a pity that Lu Baobao is close to you but doesn't focus on studying."
Jiang Se thought about the changes that had taken place in the more than one month since his rebirth. Just as he was about to speak, the principal tiptoed over and made a gesture to keep quiet.
There were students filming a video over there, and the photographer signaled them to keep the noise down.
The filming for the remaining students was not so smooth and there were many NGs.
Fortunately, although the photographer looked impatient, he did not get angry. After shooting for a long time, the video was finally completed. The principal led the students out of the photo studio, encouraged them a few words, and gave each person an envelope before everyone left.
After leaving the campus, Jiang Se opened the envelope and saw that there was two thousand yuan inside. She found a bank nearby and originally wanted to deposit the two thousand yuan into her bank card, but she remembered the meaningful words Zhou Hui had said to her recently.
Since the college entrance examination, she has not left the house except for the audition day and two visits to school later.
Zhou Hui reminded her vaguely about her work and complained that the living expenses and water and electricity bills were too high recently.
Jiang Se thought about it and deposited fifteen hundred yuan into the card, keeping five hundred yuan on himself, preparing to give it to Zhou Hui for his living expenses.
As soon as the money was deposited into the card, a text message was received on my phone, and the balance on the card suddenly became three thousand one.
The crew of "Fake It Comes True" still has 4,200 yuan in salary to go to, plus the remaining several thousand yuan, her current total assets are more than 7,000 yuan.
This amount of money should be enough if it was just for tuition, but after college, she didn't plan to live in the Du family anymore.
The First University does have student dormitories, but you have to pay to move in, which is another expense over the year.
She glanced at the balance text message she received on her phone and sighed. It seemed like it was time to find another job. This little money was not enough for her even if she lived frugally.
It was already early July. When she went to audition for the set of "Fake It" the crew said that filming would start in mid-July, but Jiang Se didn't have many scenes and she didn't know when it would be her turn. She was thinking about whether she could find another part-time job during this time, but then the crew called her.
They agreed to shoot at the Capital Film and Television Base early in the morning on the 18th, so Jiang Se got up before dawn.
Du Changqun hadn't left yet. The lights in the living room were off. Only Zhou Hui was busy in the corner of the kitchen.
The only sound that could be heard in the room was Du Changqun drinking porridge. Du Honghong and Du You, brother and sister, were still asleep and had not gotten up.
Jiang Se went to the toilet to brush her teeth. Just as she connected the water, Du Changqun threw the dishes in his hands onto the table with a bang and asked loudly:
"How much is the water bill this month?" He slammed the dishes and chopsticks.
The Du family lived a tight life, and Jiang Se was used to taking a bath and going to bed every night. Especially in the summer, her room was as stuffy as a pigeon cage.
Every night before going to bed, Zhou Hui would remind her to turn off the fan, not to mention that when she was taking a bath, the Du family would always bring up the water, electricity and gas bills with cold faces.
While she was wringing out the towel to wash her face, she was wondering whether she should go out and rent a house to live in under such circumstances.
When she came out of the toilet, Du Changqun had already left. Zhou Hui glanced at her eldest daughter and sighed:
"Shouldn't you find a job?"
She knew that Jiang Se had done well in the college entrance examination this time. The day his class teacher found out the results on the 23rd, he called home to tell her the good news.
But what does it matter if Jiang Se does well in the exam? Given her family's financial situation, she needs to pay for college, and Du Changqun has clearly stated that he will not pay for her tuition. (To be continued)
