Chapter 380 Bianca Might Look Docile, But She Has A Sharp Tongue!
T Corporation advertising department.
The interior shooting location was beautifully decorated, and all the employees were busy at work.
The shoot was for a commercial of T Corporation's latest Queen series perfumes which would be launched after the new year. It
was fragrant, long- lasting, and epitomized feminine charm and allure.
The theme of the commercial this time was "obsession."
When Bianca stepped into the location, she could see that everyone was busy in their roles.
Leia was in a see-through outfit and smokey eye makeup. She was in the middle of a shoot.
The crew members were busy attending to her.
They took a short break during which the cosmetician touched up Leia's makeup. After that, she returned to the scene.
Josef, the director, sat behind a high shutter speed camera. He was talking through the walkie-talkie, telling the lighting
technician to turn up the brightness.
After the lighting was adjusted, he got cameras 1 and 2 to change their positions. Then, he spoke loudly into the walkie-talkie, Til
need everyone’s cooperation to get the shoot to work this time!"
Josef was an internationally renowned director. Two of his movies, ' A Beautiful Soul" and "Magic Arrow," have earned him the
Best Director award in the Oscars. He had directed commercials for other major perfume brands like Chanel and Dior.
"Roger that," All the crew members replied.
"Action!" Once Josef gave the command, the gaffer, lighting technicians, and camera crew became serious.
Cameras 1, 2, and 3 all pointed at Leia to capture the perfect angle.
The camera crew pressed the record button.
Leia held a perfume bottle in her hand. She changed various seductive poses, including lying on the floor, facing the camera with
her back, or using her arm to cover half of her face. In any case, they all looked awkward.
Bianca could not help but shake her head.
Leia had always maintained a pure image. Now that she had to flaunt her seductive charm, she could not help but be reserved.
The seductive poses turned out stiff and awkward.
"Cut!" In only a few minutes, Josef gave the command to stop.
He looked at Leia disappointedly and said coldly, "You don't seem like you're in your element, Ms. Norman. How about we take a
ten-minute break and continue. Our theme for this shoot is 'obsession,' and you should be overbearing as a queen. Your gaze
was hollow and innocent, and you should be more seductive. Try and figure it out."
Leia was feeling discouraged. She noticed Josef's disappointed gaze on her.
She had tried her best to look as seductive as possible!
To complete the shoot, she had tried her best to devote herself to the role, even forgetting to eat. The shoot had gone on for
almost a day, and it was not done yet.
Previously, all her commercial shoots were done in one take.
She had given her best to the shoot. What more did the bad-tempered director want?
She thought that the director was deliberately being troublesome, but she maintained her composure and said, "Thank you for
your pointers, Mr. Josef. I'll pay more attention next time."
After Leia stepped away from the scene, Josef sat behind the camera reviewing the footage. He spoke to his assistant
helplessly, "This actress is pretty, but she doesn't have any soul. Her performance was stiff, and her bearing isn't suitable for this
brand at all. Mr. Crawford has always been a good judge of character. I wonder why he would pick her as the spokesperson..."
The people in the shooting location surrounded Leia.
An assistant handed Leia a bottle of water. She daintily sipped from the bottle, cursing the director to hell under her smiling face.
Everyone tried to flatter Leia because of her status, and no one had directly criticized her acting skills in front of her, even though
her skills were subpar.
Josef had criticized her skills in front of everyone, disregarding her status.
That made Leia feel very aggrieved, but she could not vent it out.
"Ms. Norman."
Bianca walked in front of Leia. "When I was working, my department lead said that the advertising department needs my help,
and Ms. Norman had specifically requested me to come. Now that I'm here, there doesn't seem to be a shortage of personnel."
Bianca's tone was calm.
Leia put her water bottle down and turned to look at Bianca. "I'm sorry to have disturbed your work, Ms. Rayne. You should know
that one of my two assistants had a small accident at Blue Honors, and she had to go back to her hometown to recuperate for a
period. The other assistant happened to take a few days off too, and they can't be by my side today. I'm not too familiar with T
Corporation, and I tend to become nervous in new environments. I thought that you can become my temporary assistant since
we're acquaintances. Maybe you can help me adjust to the environment so we can finish the shoot as soon as possible. Surely
you wouldn't mind that, right?"
The excuse was rather far-fetched, but Leia put on a humble face while speaking earnestly. That left a good impression on the
surrounding crew members.
They knew that Leia came from a family of politicians, but she did not put on any airs at all. Her kind and understanding
character made her popular among the employees of the advertising department.
Bianca smiled superficially. "It's an honor to serve you, Ms. Norman. This isn't part of my job scope as a designer, but as an
employee of T Corporation, I'll have to do whatever my superior tells me to."
She might have said that it was her duty to serve Leia, but the implication was that Leia should not have gotten Bianca's
department lead to ask Bianca to cross departments.
Leia could hear the implications in Bianca's words.
As she looked at Bianca, she remembered how she had nearly become a victim of her own scheme at Blue Honors.
Percy had extorted a large sum from her, which made her extremely unhappy. She would not have to lose so much money if not
for Bianca.
She was going to torment Bianca while doing the commercial shoot at T Corporation.
However, she did not expect that Bianca had such a sharp tongue, despite her docile appearance...
Leia was smiling on the outside, but she was cursing on the inside. 'This woman doesn't know what's good for her. I'll make her
suffer!'
