Chapter 70 Video Shooting
Within the wool tips group.
Zhao Caihua, a female boss in the small town, saw the message.
"Oh, the Three Little Bees shop has new items."
Zhao Caihua suddenly remembered her previous experience of making a fortune at the Three Little Bees shop. She bought a total of 60 boxes of small bread, which brought her a profit of 800 yuan.
After all, it was a shop that had given her meat, so even if the shop's newest offering was a manure cart, she was willing to try it.
Zhao Caihua entered the shop through the link, and then looked at the bread covered with a black cloth with a question mark on her face.
Why can't she understand? It's just selling bread, why all the fuss?
But it's only one dollar anyway.
Immediately, she used 10 different accounts to place 10 orders. Soon after, the shop owner added her to a Qianniu (Alibaba's money market fund) group.
In the group chat, the administrator greeted everyone: "Hello new friend, here's your coupon, please accept it."
Zhao Caihua received a 5 yuan coupon from the administrator in her card wallet.
The 5 yuan coupon can be used if you spend 5.01 yuan or more, which is almost equivalent to a no-minimum-spend coupon.
The Qianniu group was quite lively. Zhao Caihua glanced at the group's members; the Qianniu group, with a maximum of 1000 members, already had about 800.
She did the math and was surprised: This was all in one day! In just one day, she had attracted 800 potential customers.
If her physical stores had this kind of foot traffic, wouldn't they take off on the spot?
Of course, Zhao Caihua also knew that online and offline were different.
The group chat was buzzing with activity, with someone asking the administrator, "When will the bread be available? How much will it cost? Is it really good?"
The administrator patiently answered each question: "New products will be available in about half a month. The price is very attractive and will definitely satisfy everyone. If you don't like it, you don't have to pay."
Zhao Caihua felt a glimmer of hope.
Some time ago, her batch of goods sold out, and many parents asked her if she still had any stock.
However, she simply can no longer find bread that is so cheap and delicious. Now, as long as the quality of the new bread from the Three Little Bees shop is up to par, she will buy it at the normal price and sell it.
……
On the set of a GG (Girls' Love) film.
Lin Mu crossed his arms, frowned, and watched the cooking video filmed by the so-called professional team.
A sophisticated and mature woman, Sheng Mingyue, wearing an apron and flashing her signature smile, faced the camera and slowly began to read from her script: "Hello everyone, this is Little Sheep Cuisine. Today, I'm going to teach you how to make a delicious dish."
Lin Mu looked at the items laid out on the table: flour, cream, a professional whisk and separator, various seasonings, and even food coloring. He suppressed his displeasure and patiently waited for Sheng Mingyue to finish filming the first take.
Then, Sheng Mingyue went to the effects unit and looked at the finished product playing on the screen, and Lin Mu followed her.
The video begins with Sheng Mingyue's self-introduction, followed by her casually teaching viewers how to make soft white bread.
During filming, multiple cameras were used to continuously switch between close-up shots.
When the director on set saw Lin Mu coming over, he quickly stepped forward and said, "Mr. Lin, we will add some soothing music in post-production, and we will also edit in a few close-up shots of the ingredients."
Lin Mu glanced at him and asked, "Are you satisfied with the final product?"
The film crew director was taken aback, not understanding Lin Mu's meaning, and thought to himself: Does Mr. Lin want a kickback? He quickly smiled ingratiatingly and said, "Mr. Lin, please give me some pointers."
Lin Mu took a deep breath and said, "Didn't I give you a little notebook? It has the specific effect I want written down in it."
The director on set was taken aback, then looked embarrassed. He had indeed received the notebook, but hadn't even opened it to take a look.
Sheng Mingyue was just a washed-up, third-tier actor, and this was a soft-core gay film that a small company owner wanted to shoot, so he didn't take it seriously. After all, he had some fame in the gay film industry, so he wasn't worried about not getting work.
Of course, Lu Yuan, the director on set, still had professional ethics. Even if he didn't respect Lin Mu, he still had to respect the final payment for the project.
He said awkwardly, "Mr. Lin, I've seen that script, but from my own professional perspective, I think it would be better to film it this way."
Hearing Lu Yuan say that, Lin Mu laughed in anger.
He was certain that Lu Yuan hadn't even seen that manuscript. If he had, he would know that the two were completely different.
In his previous life, Lin Mu was a senior executive at Alibaba and was in charge of the GG business line for a period of time. He spent money and resources to cooperate with KOLs on video websites, so he had some understanding and experience in this area.
Therefore, the scripts he provided were all mature solutions that had been highly iterated over in later generations, referencing the style of Sheep Cuisine, a popular blogger with millions of followers on Bilibili.
Of course, Lin Mu was also aware that his plan was far behind Sheep Cuisine at its peak in terms of both filming techniques and content production, but it was more than enough to crush the video bloggers of this era.
Lin Mu restrained his anger, realizing that getting emotional was pointless.
His first thought was whether to change directors, but then he felt it was unnecessary. Although this director was lying through his teeth and had a problematic attitude, at least he respected money.
Most importantly, Boss Gu only gave an advance payment, and the final payment for the project has not yet been made. For the sake of the final payment, Lu Yuan has to listen to him, the client.
Moreover, if a new person is brought in, there's really no guarantee that the new director won't be obedient.
After thinking it over, Lin Mu made a decision: to confront him directly, to make Lu Yuan respect him, to let him know that he was not easily fooled, and to make him take this GG film seriously.
So he said, "Director Lu, stop lying through your teeth. I'm pretty sure you haven't even glanced at that script. I'm not satisfied with this film; it's all going to be scrapped and remade."
Lu Yuan's face darkened when he was caught out. However, being a seasoned veteran of the workplace, he quickly composed himself and asked, "President Lin, what exactly are you dissatisfied with?"
He couldn't help but feel contempt for Lin Mu, thinking it was an amateur instructing an expert.
The reason he didn't look at the script was that he felt the opinions of laymen were meaningless. Besides, he really put his heart into this cooking-themed video; everyone makes cooking-related videos like this now, so what's wrong with his?
Lin Mu said, "First of all, we're not making a pornographic film, but a film with substantial content."
"A video that makes viewers feel entertained and have fun, and feel like they've made friends with the blogger. It's an emotional consumption video using cooking as its subject matter."
"So, remove all those fancy things from your desk. We don't need any professionalism."
"At the beginning of the scene, the camera focused directly on Sheng Mingyue's face. Then, Sheng Mingyue walked directly to the dining table and got straight to the point, introducing herself as 'Hello everyone, I am Little Sheep Cuisine.'"
