Chapter 191 - In Pursuit of Perfection (2/2)

The associate director responsible for the dancers was confused as he asked Meng Fan. “Were the previous two videos by you as well? It’s totally on a different level!

If director Sun had thought the last two videos were average, then the two new ones made him give two thumbs up. This was top-notch in the industry!

He then lifted his head and looked again. It doesn’t make sense, he’s too young.

Meng Fan, however, maintained his honesty. “The last two were just for fun. When I heard Shan Jin bro and sister Bai wanted me to perform at their rehearsal, I had to focus and record a few good videos to bring here.

Director Sun had no choice but to accept this explanation. “Are you a student? Who’s your teacher?” He asked curiously.

“I go to Hua xia art academy, and my sand painting instructor is Wen Wan.”

“Wen Wan?! No wonder. A famous master always has incredible disciples!”

Director Sun not only knew of Wen Wan but has also collaborated with her on a few occasions before. Then he muttered to himself. ” Two months ago I needed a sand artist for an event and asked her for a recommendation. Your name wasn’t on the list she gave me. She’s been hiding you deeply!”

It was just talked though, as he didn’t call her to inquire about the matter on due to their previous collaborations together.

“Then let’s begin.”

Director Sun instructed the staff to plan accordingly, and personally explained in detail some techniques vital for a good performance to Meng Fan. There was more than one projector at the event, and the different positions and directions they are set at would create differences in the effect of his sand. Meng Fan had to know this.

Bai Zhi’s duet partner hadn’t arrived yet, so Su Qing Cen rehearsed first.

She finished in one take with unquestionable singing and dancing expertise. Meng Fan’s sand painting performance went smoothly as well, but there were some angles that still had to be figured out.

In about half an hour, Bai Zhi’s duet partner arrived and they went over it again. Meng Fan’s sand painting was still very refreshing, receiving several nods of approval from the director.

He’d absorbed so much performance experience from Wen Wan yesterday, and practiced it hard for the entire night. Now Meng Fan’s drawing skill transfer was at +18. In addition to his imagination and storytelling attribute, and terrifying hand speed, he had already exceeded Wen Wan in terms of visual effect.

Director Sun was touched by this. In two runs, he felt that Meng Fan’s performance was even more attractive than Wen Wan’s.

Here before him was a superstar in the sand painting world!

They then went over both performances, and after some discussion, the director’s crew decided Su Qing Cen’s performance would best suit the sand art. They didn’t give a reason, but everyone could guess it was because Bai Zhi’s duet partner sucked too much.

From a collaboration perspective, Su Qing Cen’s performance was better for the overall visual effect.

Of course, the directing crew also considered another reason. The event had to be explosive, and since Su Qing Cen was already an explosively popular personality, they had to add more extravagance to her performance. The best and most extravagant addition at this point was Meng Fan’s sand painting performance.

Bai Zhi was a bit regretful by this but didn’t say much. She could speak to them when they return. No matter what, Meng Fan was going to collaborate at least once with her, no, at least seven times!

The male actor was also pretty upset that they received nothing after working for so long, but maintained a smile and expressed his remorse as well.

To be honest, he wanted to be accompanied by this sand art as well!

After confirming, they rehearsed the routine two more times before leaving.

On the evening of November 9th, the official dress rehearsal began.

Only about half of the celebrities participated in this dress rehearsal since the rest of them were only planning to appear on the morning of the 10th for the final dress rehearsal.

“What? You want to switch it up again?

The next day during the second round of dress rehearsal, director’s Sun’s eyes almost popped out of his head when he heard about Meng Fan’s request right before Su Qing Cen’s rehearsal.

Meng Fan was a little embarrassed, but he was at a 20+ transfer rate with his drawing skill and wanted to express his bold thought. We should always pursue perfection, right?

“We’re already at the dress rehearsal, are you kidding me? I can’t make the decision, go ask the head director!”
