She became a heartthrob among internet celebrities.

Promotional video shooting (23)

Lan Liting (All Media): @Everyone, hurry up and gather at the Student Activity Center, we have a meeting today~ Don't be late!

Jiang Lai from the Business School: Received!

Tian Yuhuai, School of Architecture: Received!

Jiang Lai tidied herself up and then arrived at the student activity center at the appointed time. There weren't too many people there when she arrived. Wen Zhi and Lan Liting saw her and nodded to her as a greeting.

When Xie Qian saw her, he greeted her cheerfully, "Junior Sister Jiang is here? Come and sit down!"

Jiang Lai hesitated for a moment, then sat down between him and Wen Zhi.

After a while, everyone arrived, and Xie Qian stood up and turned on the projector.

"Here's the thing, this filming project is being handled by our video department, and the general plot is as follows..."

Jiang Lai listened and took notes at the same time.

"To highlight the school's characteristics, meet the needs of candidates and parents, and reflect visual aesthetics, the first point is to highlight the school's characteristics. We need to show the school's more than 100-year history, use historical language to unfold the overall appearance of the campus, fully reflect the school's scholarly atmosphere, and increase the historical weight of the school's development process. For this part, we may need to change the student uniforms from the Republican era."

After Xie Qian finished speaking, Lan Liting added, "Basically, it's just a matter of changing clothes once, going to the school history museum, and filming a scene in the old arts building. If all goes well, we can finish it in just one morning. The photography department will handle the rest, so everyone can relax. Is there anything else you want to ask?"

Everyone else shook their heads, indicating that they were fine.

Lan Liting looked at Wen Zhi: "Does the photography minister have anything to say?"

Wen Zhi reminded everyone, "When it's time for the photoshoot, I hope you all will pay attention to your appearance."

-

The shoot was scheduled for Saturday, when everyone was available.

Jiang Lai changed her clothes, then grabbed another set of clothes and hurriedly went to the old arts building.

When I arrived, there were already quite a few people there, men and women, making it very lively. The men who were to be photographed were wearing black Zhongshan suits, while the women were all wearing light blue short jackets with sleeves extending past their elbows, black midi skirts, white socks, and black shoes.

Wen Zhi and the others in the photography department were setting up equipment, and Xie Qian and the others were also busy.

Jiang Lai stood there by herself, not speaking to anyone else, but looking around at herself. The old arts building had blue brick walls, and there were quite a few yellow sandalwood trees planted in this area, which were now blooming lushly and fragrantly.

"Hi!" A bespectacled, handsome boy greeted her.

Jiang Lai smiled at him, "What's wrong?"

"We'll be reading in pairs for a while, do you have a partner?"

Jiang Lai shook her head.

"Would you like to be in my group?" the boy asked.

"Okay, my name is Jiang Lai, what's yours?"

"Tian Yuhuai".

"Oh! From the architecture school, right!"

"Yes, this name sounds very much like an architecture school, doesn't it?" the boy laughed.

"Haha, that's right."

The two chatted and laughed for a while, and then Xie Qian reminded everyone that they could start filming. Their video team had arranged positions for everyone and instructed them to perform the actions as previously instructed.

Jiang Lai and Tian Yuhuai stood under the trellis of the yellow sandalwood tree. Tian Yuhuai was holding a book in his hand, while Jiang Lai stood beside him, her upper body slightly close to his, looking down at the contents of the book.

Her long, glossy black braid on the left side fell onto Tian Yuhuai's arm. When the wind blew by, he smelled a fragrance, not the scent of yellow sandalwood, but the unique fragrance of a girl.

"But that fragrance, carried by the wind, is so unsettling; you must find the culprit." Suddenly, Tian Yuhuai thought of this sentence.

He was indeed flustered and wanted to turn his head away to ignore the fragrance, but as his gaze wandered, it fell on her face again. Her face was smooth, radiant and flawless. When he looked down at her, he could see her curled eyelashes and moist lips, which were a light pink.

"Is she wearing makeup or not? I can't tell at all," Tian Yuhuai thought to himself.

"Turn the page."

"what?"

Jiang Lai gently reminded her, "Turn the page."

"Oh!" He quickly turned to the next page.

In the distance, a young boy and girl are harmoniously reading a book together, creating a very beautiful scene.

The filming lasted for two hours, including everyone sitting together to discuss issues, or walking hand in hand in the corridor.

I don't know how the student council selected the members, but everyone seemed to have a good sense of camera presence, so there were very few times when we had to reshoot.

After filming the Republican era scenes, everyone immediately changed back into their everyday clothes to prepare for filming the modern scenes. This was much simpler; all they had to do was walk around the teaching building, interact with the teachers, and read and write in the classroom.

Jiang Lai took off her braids, letting her hair fall loosely down her back, and then changed into a green dress.

As required by the photography department, she walked back and forth along the wooden boardwalk by the lake several times, and had to pretend to look at the camera casually during the process.

Mr. Qian also made an appearance, with Jiang Lai following behind him, writing and drawing in a notebook.

The filming took all morning to complete, which was indeed very quick and took less time than originally expected.

Lan Liting announced the end of filming, then ordered desserts and milk tea for everyone. During the break, the video team confirmed that all the footage was usable, and that marked the end of the shoot.

-

A few days later, Lan Liting posted the finished promotional video in the group chat.

Lan Liting: The results are in! Thank you to everyone in the video department for your hard work these past two days! And thank you to everyone who did the filming beforehand! [Video]

Jiang Lai opened the video, which began with a shot of the sun rising and setting, and the stars shifting. The sundial was moving forward, and its distinctive features made it clear that it was near the iconic building of Imperial University.

"The phoenix cries out, on that high hill. The parasol tree grows, facing the morning sun."

"Here, you can't put into words how it makes you feel. Under the quiet blue tiles, the power that belongs only to young people is gathered."

"The gentle surface of the lake carries a vast expanse of poetry and romance, witnessing the arrival and departure of generation after generation..."

"Come here to experience the most cutting-edge intellectual exchange and the most enthusiastic academic atmosphere."

……

We're waiting for you here!

For a promotional video that's only a little over six minutes long, it's truly amazing how well it's done. The cinematography is exquisite, the post-production is superb, and the script is inspiring. To be honest, it's really captivating.

The group chat was full of praise.

Xie Qian from the video department: Our post-production team is exhausted!

Lan Liting, All-Media: Thank you for your hard work!

Ding Zihan from the School of Physics: Thank you so much, senior students!

Jiang Lai from the School of Business: Thank you for your hard work, seniors! The promotional video is fantastic! It's so inspiring!

Video Department Xie Qian: Everyone was great!!

While the group chat was buzzing with discussion, the promotional video was also posted on the forum.

[The latest promotional video is in its initial draft stage. Feedback is welcome!]

—Xie Qian was involved in the video editing, right? Then there's no problem. No wonder it's so well done.

……

Sun Zhengyang forwarded the video to the group chat.

Sun Zhengyang: Come see our junior, Jiang!!

Jiang Sen: I saw it, but you really look like a pervert, you know that?

Ye Minglong: The junior is great, but you... you're like a pervert.

Sun Zhengyang: Don't you guys really think the junior looks a lot like Yuriko Koike? She was my childhood anime goddess!!

Jiang Sen: Now that you mention it, it does seem a bit like that, but that's not an excuse for your perverted behavior.

Sun Zhengyang: Bah! My feelings for my junior are pure and innocent! You're disgusting!!!

Shenyi:

Sun Zhengyang: Wow! Look at this junior, isn't she pretty?!

Sun Zhengyang: My junior looks so beautiful in that green dress! Her slightly curly hair is gorgeous! Right?!

Ye Minglong: Going Mad

Sun Zhengyang: Get out!

……

Tang Li also saw the promotional video and then promptly shared it in the class group.

The Finance Class 1 Family (41)

Tang Li: Look! She's the pride of our Finance Class 1! @Jiang Lai

Jiang Lai saw the message on her phone, then looked at Tang Li sitting next to her, "Do you have to do this?"

Tang Li chuckled twice, "Don't be shy! You look absolutely gorgeous in here! I want everyone to see!"

Li Xiangyue also said, "That's right! Also, I contributed to this copywriting, wasn't it good?"

Jiang Lai clapped her hands and praised, "Awesome!"

Zhao Ying exclaimed excitedly, "I'm going to the group too!!"

A group of people who had been lurking in the class group chat quickly appeared.

"Class beauty #666 is amazing!"

"She's leveled up! She's now the school beauty!"

"What did the others say?"

"She's a school beauty too! Who says you can't have many school beauties?"

"You're awesome too."

Unable to refuse everyone's enthusiastic compliments, Jiang Lai replied to everyone's praise in the class group chat, then quickly went offline. She hadn't thought much of it while taking the photos, but feeling a little embarrassed after everyone saw and commented on them.

001: "Don't worry! It's mostly positive feedback! And I've even gained a lot of goodwill points~"

Jiang Lai remained completely unfazed: "As expected."

This version of the promotional video is not the final product yet, and there will definitely be some revisions later, but that has nothing to do with Jiang Lai anymore. The promotional video project is temporarily put on hold.
