Originally it’s simply a normal interview, but currently it has evolved to become top story for several days.
On the shooting day for Comforters Soap commercial, Shawn stays together with Jenny in the dressing room, having a discussion about the recent happening.
“After going through an internal discussion, our company replies that this is really a sticky business, even if both of you take the initiative to post your group photos on social media, in the end you’re still going to catch it.”
“It doesn’t matter to me.” Jenny frowns, trying hard to put on a brave front on.
“You have to rely on your fans and the audience to survive, say that you don’t care about them again if you dare!”
The voice of Shawn takes on a more serious tone.
Suddenly, the atmosphere of the dressing room grows tense.
After putting some essential oil on the hair of Jenny, the makeup artist leaves the room sensibly.
“Our set-up will be ready after ten minutes, the brand ambassador can come out in ten minutes and get ready for shooting.”
Jenny hitches up the bath towel wrapped around her breast, and for a moment she can’t find any word to say.
Actually, she’s a little nervous, this is not her first time to act in films or shoot for commercials, but this is her first time to shoot a nude scene. Even though only her back will be recorded, but she is not wearing any clothes now except that her nipples are simply covered by the pasties.
Shawn looks at Jenny in the mirror, breathing a sigh with helplessness. She pats Jenny on the shoulder gently. “Don’t be nervous, the spot will be cleared up by the time we start filming and it’s just the director and me. So, you’re just required to memorize your lines and do your best, don’t worry that you will be suffering a wardrobe malfunction.”
Jenny nods, regarding the fans matter mentioned by Shawn just now, even though she doesn’t say anything, but she has realized that her attitude is wrong, inwardly she feels ashamed of herself.
It occurs to Jenny that Shawn seemed to have something to tell her just now, then she asks, “Shawn, do you want to inform me about the approach that will be used by the company to deal with this crisis? Should I take a group photo with Jessica or attend an event together with her?"
Outside the door, the production assistant is urging Jenny to come out for shooting. Shawn hesitates for a moment, smiles, “It’s okay, let’s talk about it when you’re done. It’s not a big deal, even if the company don’t intervene in this matter, it will be settled down in a couple of days.”
Doubtfully, Jenny steps out of the dressing room with a bath towel wrapped around her.
Shawn looks at her back, letting out a sigh silently.
If Jenny know the decision of the company, Shawn’s afraid that she may not be able to concentrate on the shooting now, so it will be better to hide the truth from her.
The commercial for Comforters Soap will be shot indoors in the studio; a green scene is set as the background which will be edited during the stage of post-production; there’s a bathtub placed in the middle and Jenny has to sit in the bathtub, showing her naked back towards the camera while as the cameramen film a close-up shot of her profile and her back, she soaps herself from her shoulder to her waist.
The first scene is very simple, however, in order to get the best possible aesthetic effect, they have done a lot of retakes.
The line is only one sentence, “Comfortable home, Comforters.”
Until the director shouts “cut” for the first scene, all the tension that Jenny has managed to keep bottled up is relieved eventually. Suddenly, the cold makes her sneeze, Shawn quickly wraps her in the bath towel and pulls her out from the water.
Even though the air conditioner is turned on here, but in order to prevent the cloud of steam from hindering the desired effect, the bathtub is filled with the cold water. In winter, asking her to sit in a tub of cold water with a totally naked body actually is going to kill her.
“Well, thanks a lot to our actress. You can take a break for ten minutes, others get ready for the next scene…”
Shawn helps Jenny to put on a down coat, after handing her a hot-water bag and putting on a pair of snow boots on her feet, finally she has got herself in hand again.
