Chapter 98

The creativity behind the advertisement is actually quite simple, not as complicated as it seems; however, since Kate has never been involved in filming ads before, she is quite nervous and finds it difficult to get into the right state. The most challenging part is that although the gorillas are very smart, it's clear they don't fully understand the filming process, which adds to the difficulty!

"Kate, you did a great job earlier, I asked the director. You don't need to worry about the cameras or anything like that. Just be your most natural self, and I believe you can do it." Qi Ping is now acting as the assistant director because he is the only one who can communicate with the 'novice actors' at this moment, which is quite a challenging task.

"I know, but when I notice all the cameras and people watching me, I feel uncomfortable and find it hard to get into the right state." Kate was a bit troubled, and the repeated NGs made her feel a bit embarrassed. Being an actor is not an easy job, and she now admires those with good acting skills even more.

"No problem, your performance has already improved a lot. The key is that you haven't had an excellent partner; they always disrupt your state." Looking at the gorilla sitting majestically on the ground, Qi Ping gritted his teeth in frustration; although the gorilla is very smart, it's not cut out to be a star.

"I think the gorilla is doing a good job. As long as I can get into the right state, I don't think we'll have any more NGs. I can do it, dear, believe in me!" Although there is some pressure, Kate also finds this experience really interesting and enjoyable, so she doesn't want to miss this rare opportunity.

After a short break, Kate found some of her emotions. Although there were repeated NGs earlier, it wasn't entirely without effect. At least Kate now knows some of the tricks and isn't as nervous or uncomfortable in front of the camera as she was at the beginning.

Kate is now quite tired because her partner is not very reliable. For example, the first ad features the gorilla, which is smarter than its younger siblings. The hope is that the gorilla can set a good example, which is very important.

Kate is picking tomatoes, a very simple task. Of course, for an ad, a bit of artistic flair is needed. Qi Ping couldn't take his eyes off Kate; he thought she looked incredibly beautiful, fresh and lovely, and absolutely charming.

Kate's performance also relieved the ad director, as this was the most difficult ad to shoot because the main actors were not cooperating. Now, at least, they've made a good start, which is enough to make the director breathe a sigh of relief. He is also looking forward to the rest of the shooting going smoothly.

Patted the gorilla, signaling it to come on. Although the previous few takes were NGs, the gorilla now knows what to do.

It approached Kate cautiously, the cute gorilla seemingly watching her. Then it picked a tomato and put it in the basket, earning a bright and sunny smile from Kate.

Continuing to pick tomatoes, that was the next task. At the end of the ad, Kate naturally hands a tomato to the gorilla, and the gorilla happily accepts it.

"OK, done! Now we just need to wait for some post-production. The first ad is a success!" After chatting with the director, they confirmed that the ad was fine, which made Qi Ping very happy.

Kate was also very happy, hugging the big hero gorilla and accepting praise. However, most of the praise came from her family. Clearly, Kate is a novice, and such a shooting pace is unacceptable for professionals. But it doesn't matter; as long as she is happy.

"Next is Black Coal. I hope this guy will cooperate." Black Coal's big head kept burrowing into Qi Ping's arms. Although this playful guy is usually very proud, he also loves to be affectionate.

"No problem, this is Black Coal's natural performance. Just help me keep an eye on Black Coal so it doesn't really run away. Black Coal has accepted me, and it can act in the ad with me. I can play with it." After shooting one ad, Kate felt she was now very capable, so there was no need to worry.

Indeed, this is Black Coal's natural performance, so there's no problem. In fact, the little ones are all performing naturally. As long as they don't get too hyper, there's no issue. Qi Ping is somewhat confident about this, otherwise, he wouldn't have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on the ad.

Ideally, things should be smooth, but reality is often harsh. Qi Ping feels that Black Coal's existence is more to give him high blood pressure, as he is constantly frustrated by Black Coal.

Originally, Black Coal was supposed to stand to one side while Kate slowly approached with a bunch of lettuce, and Black Coal was supposed to retreat cautiously and 'shyly' until it couldn't resist the temptation of the lettuce.

But now, seeing Kate holding the lettuce, Black Coal immediately ran over. There was no shyness, just the appearance of a glutton. It had already eaten four bunches of lettuce and repeatedly buried its big head in Kate's arms to show affection, completely losing its usual proud demeanor!

Feeling a mix of frustration and amusement, Qi Ping also thought Black Coal had made some progress. Apart from Qi Ping and Kate, Black Coal doesn't allow anyone else to get close.

It was a bit bumpy, but they finally completed the shooting with Black Coal. The guy finally knew what to do, possibly because it was full, so it was more cooperative. This relieved Qi Ping, as he didn't have to worry about the ad's budget increasing again.

Winnie's performance was the most delightful. Although he is the smallest and possibly the 'dumbest,' Winnie is definitely the one who saves Qi Ping the most money. His natural performance was true, and the ad was completed smoothly in just two takes, making Qi Ping very happy as he hugged the little hero Winnie.

Kate brought a cute, chubby little black bear to the celery field. Winnie was overjoyed, running into the celery field in one go. The running process was captured in slow motion, highlighting Winnie's happiness and joy as he ran towards the field. When he emerged from the field with a celery stick in his mouth and his chubby little paws holding another celery stick, he looked incredibly adorable.

"I'll teach you again, no, no, no!" The two seemingly proud parrots were once again instructed by Qi Ping. It was simple dialogue, not a problem for Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, who could already speak a few words. "Then, I want the Fairyland Forest!"

"Home!" Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai were initially listless and unenthusiastic, very unhappy about being repeatedly taught by the boss. But when they heard 'Fairyland Forest,' they immediately perked up and shouted loudly, clearly knowing where their home is.

Qi Ping was truly amused and very proud. Although Liang Shanbo and the others weren't very cooperative, these little guys now knew where their home was, which was enough to make Qi Ping incredibly proud. The crew members also acknowledged that although the little guys were a bit troublesome during the ad shoot, they were the smartest little animals they had ever seen.

Proudly standing on the cucumber trellis, turning their heads to the left and right; this is something Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai always like to do, just for show. They look very proud and aloof, but as soon as someone tries to play with them, they reveal their true nature.

"No!"

Seeing Kate holding an apple, the two parrots turned their heads in unison.

"No!"

The sunflower seeds that the parrots like were met with cold glances, and they turned their heads again, pretending not to like them.

"No!"

Seemingly exasperated, their voices grew louder. Seeing Kate holding a handful of nuts, the two parrots performed perfectly.

When Kate pointed to the cucumber trellis, the two proud parrots immediately flew down, shouting 'Home!'

A perfect ad, this shoot was really great. It highlighted the quality of the vegetables and the beautiful scenery of the field. The little guys' performance was completely adorable.

Qi Ping was very happy. This ad was really great and very interesting!
