CHAPTER 701: CHAPTER 691: CAR BRAND OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCES SPOKESPERSON

After finishing shooting the car advertisement, Jiang Lingxi was taken by Tong Yue to shoot the jewelry advertisement after only one day of rest.

Changning and Huzi, who were temporarily assigned as bodyguards for Jiang Lingxi, were on high alert throughout the process.

However, since the entire jewelry advertisement was shot inside a studio, even when people gathered around to help with putting on and arranging the jewelry, everyone was extremely cautious to avoid any damage, so there wasn’t any intense confrontation.

From start to finish, everything went smoothly.

The most repeated warning they heard was from the person in charge of escorting the jewelry: "Be careful!"

After all, once the shooting was completed, the jewelry had to be sent back in its original condition, and even the slightest damage would mean the person in charge would have to bear the responsibility.

After finishing the shoot and returning to the nanny van, Jiang Lingxi noticed everyone collectively breathed a sigh of relief. Changning and Huzi seemed a little disappointed, "There’s no need to be so tense."

"After the last failure, even if the person behind the scenes wants to make a move again, they’ll probably need to reassess my capabilities. It’s unlikely they’ll take the next step so quickly."

"What if that person is impatient?"

"Acting rashly will only lead to another failure."

Tong Yue, who had maintained a calm demeanor beside Jiang Lingxi the entire time, quietly reflected, "I might have overreacted a bit."

"Sister Tong is just concerned about me and everyone else, I understand."

Tong Yue collected her thoughts, opened the itinerary on her tablet, marked off the ’Jewelry Ad Shoot’ task, and while scanning the upcoming events, reminded everyone: "Next up is the promo for the new series on National TV. I’ve turned down those variety show invitations you didn’t like. Also, after the car and jewelry ads are released, remember to share them on your own account. That’s about it."

She glanced at the team members sitting in the car, "Thanks to our artist, we might get a proper end-of-year holiday this year."

In the entertainment industry, there’s no such thing as an annual leave; even many artists work on New Year’s Eve or during the Spring Festival, recording shows or filming, so managers and assistants naturally accompany them, leaving little room for vacation.

Lu Zhengzheng feels this most deeply.

This year, especially the second half, her vacation time has been more than all the past few years combined.

It’s as if she’s getting all her previous holidays back at once.

In the past, going to work felt like torture to her, but now she feels a little regretful that Xixi’s work isn’t enough for her to be with her as the Number One Assistant all the time, occasionally getting a day or two of rest.

Hearing about a holiday now, she feels a bit at a loss.

"Why aren’t you happy to hear about a holiday?"

Lu Zhengzheng tilted her head to look at Fang Yao, the second assistant next to her, "Sister Xi has fewer engagements now, maybe it’s just sudden downtime, and I’m not used to it yet."

"But the quality of the engagements has improved significantly."

Lu Zhengzheng thought for a moment and agreed.

Thinking about what she was doing last year with Sister Xixi.

Playing brainless supporting roles in web dramas, participating in various variety shows regardless of their popularity, fighting for endorsements from fast-moving consumer goods.

As for starring in serious dramas like "Empress Yuanzhao," attending international fashion events, securing endorsements for internationally renowned car brands and high-end jewelry, she wouldn’t even dare to dream so ridiculously at that time.

If she were to write a year-end summary or create a year-end PPT summary report this year, she could easily write several thousand words or make a hundred-page PPT.

And include all the beautiful photos of Sister Xixi she accumulated over the year!

But Sister Xi might not require that.

But that’s okay; she can secretly write on her Sister Xi No.1 Assistant account, just enjoying on her own without reporting.

*

The day after filming the jewelry advertisement, the internationally renowned car brand RG, known as Red Dragon in Hua State, released the official announcement of their new product ambassador on their official account early in the morning.

Besides the promotional images of the person and the car, there was also a three-minute short video advertisement.

Having started in Hua State, the century-old brand RG Red Dragon has now expanded its customer base worldwide, becoming a truly internationally known brand.

Before this, countless people awaited the official release of the brand’s new series models.

As soon as the announcement came out, it immediately attracted a frenzy of car enthusiasts, followed by the ambassador’s fans and some bystanders.

Jiang Lingxi received a message from Tong Yue while having breakfast, only then realizing that the car advertisement shot a few days ago had just been officially announced.

The speed was indeed quite fast.

The announcement specifically tagged her as the ambassador, making it easy for her to share it with one click.

After taking a bite of a dumpling and refreshing the page, both likes and comments skyrocketed to over ten thousand and beyond within moments.

Sitting across, Shen Yunqing saw her holding a cup and drinking soy milk with one hand while excitedly looking at her phone with the other. He quietly picked up his own phone from the small table beside him.

He had registered an account before, of course just a small one without verification.

The followers were sparse, just a few dozen initially given by the platform.

His follow list only had one lonely entry.

After skillfully saving the promotional picture, he opened the video.

The three-minute span quickly passed, and on the second watch, he opened the floating comments displayed from the bottom-left of the video.

Text in various colors scrolled densely across the top of the video.

[Red Dragon actually chose Jiang Lingxi as the ambassador this time!]

[I was surprised to see it was Jiang Lingxi; this was really unexpected.]

[Has Red Dragon lowered its standards this time, choosing big stars and famous actors in the past.]

[Is Red Dragon also following trends now, picking whoever is currently popular?]

[Everyone, please check out the brand slogan of Red Dragon’s new series before commenting.]

[For this new series from Red Dragon, they made some youthful changes to their traditionally steady style, and the colors are a lot more vibrant, which is more appealing to young people, so choosing a younger star as an ambassador is understandable.]

Initially, the floating comments focused on whether Red Dragon’s new model and ambassador were a good match, but the discussion shifted abruptly when the video reached the scene of two cars chasing on the highway.

[I replayed this segment several times, forgetting all about the congee beside me which went cold!]

[The feeling after watching: thrilling!]

[I just want to ask the directing team what they were thinking, putting such a big movie-making attitude into a mere advertisement video?]

[When I was watching, my dad passed by and asked me which action movie clip I was watching and to recommend the movie name to him.]

[I can’t stop laughing! Hahaha!]

[The car collision and tire-screeching effects feel so real and add extra points to post-production!]

[I have a low sense of safety, and the feature I love most about this car is when the blue car gets waterlogged, the intelligent control system senses it and instantly opens the doors and windows to let people escape.]

[The budget must have been burning here; they genuinely submerged the blue car and even shot diving scenes in the winter, I wonder if the guy in the black work suit got insurance before shooting.]

[The fight scenes between the two are also intense; I hadn’t expected any follow-up, but it made the story more complete.]

...

The director observing the feedback: "..."

Can he say he didn’t do much in post-production, merely edited to make the scene more exciting and intense?

The thrill was inherent to the shooting experience itself, okay!
