Chapter 380 Bianca Might Look Docile, But She Has A Sharp Tongue!
T Corporation advertising department.
The interior shooting location was beautifully decorated, and all the employees were busy at work.
The shoot was for a commercial of T Corporation's latest Queen series perfumes which would belaunched after the new year. It was fragrant, long- lasting, and epitomized feminine charm and allure.
The theme of the commercial this time was "obsession."
When Bianca stepped into the location, she could see that everyone was busy in their roles.
Leia was in a see-through outfit and smokey eye makeup. She was in the middle of a shoot.
The crew members were busy attending to her.
They took a short break during which the cosmetician touched up Leia's makeup. After that, shereturned to the scene.
Josef, the director, sat behind a high shutter speed camera. He was talking through the walkie-talkie,telling the lighting technician to turn up the brightness.
After the lighting was adjusted, he got cameras 1 and 2 to change their positions. Then, he spokeloudly into the walkie-talkie, Til need everyone’s cooperation to get the shoot to work this time!"
Josef was an internationally renowned director. Two of his movies, ' A Beautiful Soul" and "MagicArrow," have earned him the Best Director award in the Oscars. He had directed commercials for othermajor perfume brands like Chanel and Dior.
"Roger that," All the crew members replied.
"Action!" Once Josef gave the command, the gaffer, lighting technicians, and camera crew becameserious.
Cameras 1, 2, and 3 all pointed at Leia to capture the perfect angle.
The camera crew pressed the record button.
Leia held a perfume bottle in her hand. She changed various seductive poses, including lying on thefloor, facing the camera with her back, or using her arm to cover half of her face. In any case, they alllooked awkward.
Bianca could not help but shake her head.
Leia had always maintained a pure image. Now that she had to flaunt her seductive charm, she couldnot help but be reserved. The seductive poses turned out stiff and awkward.novelbin
"Cut!" In only a few minutes, Josef gave the command to stop.
He looked at Leia disappointedly and said coldly, "You don't seem like you're in your element, Ms.Norman. How about we take a ten-minute break and continue. Our theme for this shoot is 'obsession,'and you should be overbearing as a queen. Your gaze was hollow and innocent, and you should bemore seductive. Try and figure it out."
Leia was feeling discouraged. She noticed Josef's disappointed gaze on her.
She had tried her best to look as seductive as possible!
To complete the shoot, she had tried her best to devote herself to the role, even forgetting to eat. Theshoot had gone on for almost a day, and it was not done yet.
Previously, all her commercial shoots were done in one take.
She had given her best to the shoot. What more did the bad-tempered director want?
She thought that the director was deliberately being troublesome, but she maintained her composureand said, "Thank you for your pointers, Mr. Josef. I'll pay more attention next time."
After Leia stepped away from the scene, Josef sat behind the camera reviewing the footage. He spoketo his assistant helplessly, "This actress is pretty, but she doesn't have any soul. Her performance wasstiff, and her bearing isn't suitable for this brand at all. Mr. Crawford has always been a good judge ofcharacter. I wonder why he would pick her as the spokesperson..."
The people in the shooting location surrounded Leia.
An assistant handed Leia a bottle of water. She daintily sipped from the bottle, cursing the director tohell under her smiling face.
Everyone tried to flatter Leia because of her status, and no one had directly criticized her acting skills infront of her, even though her skills were subpar.
Josef had criticized her skills in front of everyone, disregarding her status.
That made Leia feel very aggrieved, but she could not vent it out.
"Ms. Norman."
Bianca walked in front of Leia. "When I was working, my department lead said that the advertisingdepartment needs my help, and Ms. Norman had specifically requested me to come. Now that I'mhere, there doesn't seem to be a shortage of personnel."
Bianca's tone was calm.
Leia put her water bottle down and turned to look at Bianca. "I'm sorry to have disturbed your work, Ms.Rayne. You should know that one of my two assistants had a small accident at Blue Honors, and shehad to go back to her hometown to recuperate for a period. The other assistant happened to take a fewdays off too, and they can't be by my side today. I'm not too familiar with T Corporation, and I tend tobecome nervous in new environments. I thought that you can become my temporary assistant sincewe're acquaintances. Maybe you can help me adjust to the environment so we can finish the shoot assoon as possible. Surely you wouldn't mind that, right?"
The excuse was rather far-fetched, but Leia put on a humble face while speaking earnestly. That left agood impression on the surrounding crew members.
They knew that Leia came from a family of politicians, but she did not put on any airs at all. Her kindand understanding character made her popular among the employees of the advertising department.
Bianca smiled superficially. "It's an honor to serve you, Ms. Norman. This isn't part of my job scope as adesigner, but as an employee of T Corporation, I'll have to do whatever my superior tells me to."
She might have said that it was her duty to serve Leia, but the implication was that Leia should nothave gotten Bianca's department lead to ask Bianca to cross departments.
Leia could hear the implications in Bianca's words.
As she looked at Bianca, she remembered how she had nearly become a victim of her own scheme atBlue Honors.
Percy had extorted a large sum from her, which made her extremely unhappy. She would not have tolose so much money if not for Bianca.
She was going to torment Bianca while doing the commercial shoot at T Corporation.
However, she did not expect that Bianca had such a sharp tongue, despite her docile appearance...
Leia was smiling on the outside, but she was cursing on the inside. 'This woman doesn't know what'sgood for her. I'll make her suffer!'
