048 “AV Shooting Guide” Chapter 47

47: Interview

WAWA’s film promotion period is always very tiring.

Qiao Qiao has been very busy these days, because “Lianlian” has squeezed out the promotion schedule of other films. Many actors and producers are watching eagerly, and time has become particularly precious. Song Qiyan transformed into the Demon King of Song, with high standards and strict requirements, which made Qiao QiaoThe small spinning top was spinning around. After the cover shoot, there were still several sets of behind-the-scenes videos lined up behind. Qin Ruicheng came to visit the team several times, but he couldn’t keep up with the shooting team. As soon as the front foot arrived, they had already moved on to the next venue, so they could only catch an empty shot.

“Ms. Qiao, there will be an interview temporarily added in ten minutes. We will reshoot the footage another day. You have to go change clothes immediately. The makeup artist is already waiting.” Fang Tong trotted up from behind and said as he ran.

Fang Tong was Song Qiyan’s temporary assistant to Qiao Qiao. After all, Song Qiyan had eight dramas instead of ten that he was filming. He was busier than Qiao Qiao and couldn’t handle everything in detail, so Song Qiyan sent Fang Tong over. He usually contacted Qiao Qiao through Fang Tong for anything.Fang Tong was brought out by Song Qiyan. He was full of energy and smart, and he was quick and good at doing things. Qiao Qiao always felt that he must be more than just an ‘assistant’ as Song Qiyan said.

“Ten minutes later?” Qiao Qiao was a little confused. “I’m in such a hurry that I don’t have time to read the interview transcript.”

“This is already a coordinated time, and the other party’s schedule is also very full – but I’ve said hello in advance and won’t ask too tricky questions.”

Qiao Qiao nodded, and during the short few dozen steps from the corridor to the dressing room, she began to silently think over the items and sensitive points that needed to be paid attention to during the interview.The truth that disaster comes from the mouth is an irrefutable saying in the entertainment industry. Many artists are ruined by an unintentional word. Qiao Qiao must pay special attention to this if he wants to make a name for himself.

In fact, after these days of hell-like training, Qiao Qiao has gradually begun to get used to this operating mode that she has never been exposed to. Although she has been in the industry for two years, most of the time she has appeared as an unknown supporting role. The job is easy but there is no future. Qiao Qiao does not say it, but she is actually a little depressed in her heart.This year finally started to turn around, and I filmed two films with exciting scripts in succession. I was able to get a glimpse into the real work and life of upper-class artists. It was tiring, but it also gave me a special sense of accomplishment.

She was still too nervous to prepare for an interview in ten minutes. The makeup artist was so anxious that she was sweating profusely. Even when Qiao Qiao was changing clothes, she didn’t miss it and applied every opportunity to add a layer of powder to her.

Although he had done a lot of mental preparation before going on stage, when he actually sat on the high chair, the lights turned on, and he was faced with an unfamiliar interviewer and unfamiliar questions. Qiao Qiao suddenly became tense, involuntarily tightened his hands, and took several deep breaths to calm down.

Sitting across from her was a mature woman in her thirties. She was lowering her head and playing with the microphone attached to her collar. Her shoulder-length hair was permed and curled outwards. She was capable but somewhat charming.Qiao Qiao looked at her and felt she looked familiar, but he didn’t have time to do his homework. He really couldn’t remember her name and which TV station she came from, so he had to take advantage of the gap before turning on the phone to smile politely to show friendliness.

“Start, start!” the director ordered from the audience.

“Time is precious, let’s get straight to the point.” The woman showed a rather kind smile, and then began to ask questions to Qiao Qiao, “What is your relationship with Song Qiyan, the chief director of WAWA?”

Qiao Qiao was stunned. She imagined several personal questions that the other party might ask, but she didn’t expect that the other party would ask them as soon as they came up, and ask such a question that caught people off guard.She subconsciously looked down the stage. The lights were too bright and she couldn’t see other people’s expressions clearly. She couldn’t receive any hints. Qiao Qiao had no choice but to bite the bullet and try to get through: “…he is my superior at work, and we are friends in private.”

“What kind of friend?” the other party asked reluctantly.

“Just friends.”

“But as far as I know, that’s not the case.” The woman’s face still had that kind face, but the words she spoke were extremely sharp, “I checked your works and found that Song Qiyan never participated in the first three works you made when you first entered the industry. From the fourth one onwards, he was included in the director of almost every film. The “Serial” that is being promoted recently was directed by him himself. I think your relationship should be more than just friends, right? What made Song Qiyan start taking care of you like this overnight?”

Intentionally or unintentionally, I emphasized the word ‘one night’.

Qiao Qiao was speechless. He moved his mouth, but still didn’t know what to say. The situation was a little awkward for a while.

The woman waited patiently with the microphone in hand, obviously not intending to take the initiative to help Qiao Qiao.

“Sister Lin.” Finally, Fang Tong stood up, regardless of the fact that the camera was still on, “Qiao Qiao is a newcomer, and Director Song should give her more support. Let’s focus the interview on the new drama.”

The woman glanced at Fang Tong, and Qiao Qiao thought she would be unhappy. Unexpectedly, she really respected Fang Tong as a little assistant, and she didn’t dwell too much on the topic of Song Qiyan. The remaining questions were all asked around “Lianlian”. After all, it was an AV movie, and the scale of the questions was a bit larger. Several questions made Qiao Qiao feel embarrassed. At the end, her cheeks were flushed, and the color could not be faded.

“Are you okay?” Fang Tong helped Qiao Qiao remove the microphone and lowered his voice and said, “Lin Yu had a brief relationship with Director Song before. The team thought it was okay after such a long time. Unexpectedly…”

“Is she Lin Yu?” Qiao Qiao was surprised, then patted his forehead, “Oh, I should ask her for an autograph.”

This made Fang Tong laugh. He put a blanket on Qiao Qiao and said, “If you ask for it, she won’t give it to you. I’ll get one for you later.”

Lin Yu is actually considered a legend in the industry. She made her debut in AV filming in her early years. When she became successful in filming, she transitioned to become an actress. However, her good luck in AV filming did not extend to the entertainment industry. She filmed several works but was still unknown. Later, the domestic film and television industry reformed., she seized the opportunity to become a host while the TV station was expanding its recruitment. Unexpectedly, she became an instant hit. The celebrity talk show she hosted has always been highly rated, and her previous movies and AVs were also dug out and became popular again. It is a good example of the successful transformation of the AV industry.

After knowing who the other party was, Qiao Qiao was a little confused. Her new drama hadn’t been released yet. To be honest, she was still an 18th-tier AV actor. Although Lin Yu was not at the top level in the industry, he was still quite famous. As Qiao Qiao, it was definitely not worthy of her to be interviewed in person. So who arranged for her to come here?

Qiao Qiao didn’t hold back. After hesitating for a while, she still asked Fang Tong. She felt that the most likely candidate was Song Qiyan. If it was Song Qiyan, Fang Tong would know.

Unexpectedly, this time it was Fang Tong’s turn to look confused: “Director Song? No, if it was Director Song, he would definitely not invite Lin Yu.”

“Why?” Qiao Qiao’s attention was successfully sucked away.

“Lin Yu made the matter big, and almost everyone knew it at the time.” Fang Tong rolled his eyes and seemed unable to hold back his complaints, “I think that woman is a lunatic.”

After the interview, Qiao Qiao went to the studio to shoot a few more shots before officially leaving get off work. Fang Tong returned to Song Qiyan’s office to report on work. Qiao Qiao walked to the 15th floor by himself. As soon as the elevator door opened, Lin Yu was standing alone inside.

Qiao Qiao was a little embarrassed. She didn’t expect to run into Lin Yu, but she couldn’t turn around and walk away, so she had to step in and say hello politely.

Lin Yu glanced at Qiao Qiao and said nothing.

Two people stood in such a small space. The elevator was surrounded by mirrors. You could see the other person’s figure in any direction. In fact, Qiao Qiao didn’t feel embarrassed at first, but now that she knew about Lin Yu and Song Qiyan, plus her relationship with Song Qiyan, she felt a sense of embarrassment like her current girlfriend bumping into her ex-girlfriend.

“How is he doing lately?” Lin Yu suddenly spoke in a confused tone.

Qiao Qiao knew who she was referring to, but he didn’t know how to answer, so he could only say vaguely: “It’s okay…”

“Oh.” Lin Yu looked at Qiao Qiao with a half-smile, “Cherish the good times now. After all, there are not many days when you can get whatever you want in your life. If someone is willing to support you, use all your strength to make him support you for a longer time.”

As soon as the elevator floor arrived, Lin Yu walked out first, regardless of Qiao Qiao’s reaction.
