I, the traveler, will guide me directly in the Mi Universe.

Ying didn't care whether Pella believed it or not, she believed it anyway.

However, before Ying hung up the phone, perhaps because her exclamation had disturbed Alicia, the other party actually came closer and muttered a sweet voice: "Well...I I’m so sleepy, I was so tired last night, why don’t I let you sleep a little longer~?”

Hearing this, both Ying and Pella on the other end of the phone fell silent.

Chapter 29: A guest appearance by a time-traveling girl who is worse than a beast

The silence didn't last long before Perla on the other end of the phone said, "I didn't expect that the mice in Director Ying's family were so extraordinary and could actually talk."

Before she could quibble or explain, she heard a busy tone from the handset of her mobile phone. Apparently Pera over there mistakenly thought she was being disturbed and quickly hung up the phone.

Looking at Alicia sleeping soundly next to her, Ying scratched her short golden hair a little frantically, until she turned the hair that the other party had taken care of last night into a chicken coop. Just stopped.

Now she was too lazy to think about what Pella was thinking about. What she wanted to find out was, what happened last night?

After checking her clothes and finding that they were not much different from when she was asleep on the sofa, Ying breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that she had not been poked (?).

Then, Ying turned to look at Alicia.

It was summer at this time, and although the air conditioner was always on, everyone still dressed very coolly, and Alicia was no exception.

I saw that the other party was wearing a pink silk nightgown. Although the air conditioner covered most of his body, some of his beauty could not be avoided.

Although Alicia's nightgown no longer covered her delicate body obediently, Ying still confirmed that it was caused naturally by sleeping, rather than something she did unconsciously after falling asleep. something.

After the situation on both sides was confirmed, Ying let out a long sigh of relief. It seemed that neither she nor Alicia did any animal behavior last night.

Of course, according to some jokes, if you do it, you are a beast, and if you don't, you are worse than a beast.

In other words, Ying also made a guest appearance as a time-traveling girl who is worse than a beast.

After secretly snickering for a while, Ying put back her divergent thoughts, got up directly, ran to the closet and took out a set of regular clothes that she would wear later, and went into the bathroom to wash up and change clothes.

She was just worried that Alicia next to her was still sleeping, so she moved very lightly at this time, for fear of disturbing her.

What Ying didn't notice was that when she walked into the bathroom, Alicia, who was still sleeping soundly on the bed, opened her eyes directly.

Judging from the look in those eyes that is a bit clearer than Ying's, it can be seen that Alicia spends a lot of time awake than Ying.

In this way, when Alicia moved on the phone with Pera just now, and then muttered after that, it was obviously intentional.

If Eden had been present at this time, he would have definitely seen the clues at a glance. Alicia's old habit of liking to see beautiful girls in embarrassment has returned.

However, this can only be said to be self-inflicted. Who told her to agree to Alicia's request to stay overnight last night?

After Alicia opened her eyes, she had no intention of continuing to pretend to be asleep.

The screen in the bathroom was still in use, so Alicia thought for a moment, walked into the kitchen, and started making breakfast for two while humming a song.

When Ying came out of the bathroom, she didn't see Alicia on the bed. At the same time, the noise from the kitchen made her immediately understand what was going on.

"Why does it feel a little weird..."

Ying scratched the golden hair that she had just brushed in the bathroom. When she woke up early in the morning, there was a beautiful girl sleeping next to her. After she went to wash up, the beautiful girl had already gotten up and made breakfast for herself. …

Wait, Ying finally realized what was wrong.

A happy cohabitation life between me and the national idol?

After Alicia's fans find out, I'm afraid they will pick up the 40-meter-long machete in their hands and let her run 39 meters first, and then angrily chop her to death with the knife!

Thinking of that scene, Ying's thin little body couldn't help but tremble.

However, after recalling the deliciousness of the bowl of egg drop lean pork porridge that seemed to have been enchanted last night, Ying felt a little more courage in her heart.

Apart from anything else, you still have to eat the food Alicia cooks.

In fact, Ying was completely worried.

As long as they are a long-time fan of Alicia, who doesn’t know that her favorite thing to do is to tease beautiful girls?

Even Alicia's fans have learned to judge whether the other female artist will "turn over" by Alicia's attitude towards other female artists.

Speaking of which, this can be regarded as a coincidence, that is, in the entertainment industry, male and female artists have become very serious in recent years. When Alicia's fans read some articles and videos on the frontline of Qiguafront that took stock of the male and female artists in the entertainment industry, male artists also That's all, but they were shocked to realize that none of the female artists who fell over had never been 'fortunate' by Alicia.

So, Alicia fans who had nothing to do began to dig into the idol’s previous public materials. After digging through, they found that all the female artists that Alicia had expressed her affection for in public could not be said to be the best. They are both talented artists, but at least negative news about tax evasion, cheating, and mistressing are not relevant to any of them.

Furthermore, a strange trend has emerged in the entertainment industry, that is, female artists, regardless of whether they are familiar with Alicia or not, always like to flaunt their close relationship with Alicia during interviews.

It even happened that a certain female artist met Alicia by chance while shopping abroad. She turned around and posted a photo on WeChat that Alicia took because she couldn't refuse, with the caption "Today" The text "Shopping with Alicia at xxxx" made people mistakenly think that she and Alicia had a friendship that allowed them to go shopping abroad together, which won fans a lot of praise for her character.

Alicia was also very helpless about this, but that was her character, and her ears were extremely soft. There was not much problem with the female artist's own moral character, she just wanted to gain a position too much. This kind of behavior must be dealt with. It wasn't too bad, it was better than those colleagues who tried their best to crawl into the investor's bed, so she forgave her.

But since then, Alicia rarely gets too close to those unfamiliar female artists. According to such a request, it doesn't matter if she refuses, her assistant will naturally step in to help her block it.

However, after Alicia's active screening, the rumor that the female artist with whom she has a good relationship has no problem with her personal ethics has become more and more valuable, so much so that many female artists in the industry have sharpened their skills before. The capital tycoons who want to climb into the entertainment industry now have another way out, and that is to desperately want to become a member of Alicia's "harem group".

Alicia doesn't do things like staying at other people's homes once or twice. They are all members of the harem group anyway, and her fans will not yell at her because of such a 'little thing'.

Chapter 30 Alicia: I’ll give it to you

In short, Ying, who was ready to face the storm in the future, was driven by the desire for delicious food and no longer cared about so much. She ran to the dining table early to sit down, knocking on the bowl and waiting for breakfast.

Alicia also moved quickly, and soon she brought out two steaming bowls of noodles on a tray.

"It's better to have a lighter breakfast, so I'll give it to you."

Alicia put the tray down and took out two bowls of noodles.

Because there are no related memes in this world, she has no idea how bad such an ordinary sentence sounds to Cyber ​​Old Si Ji.

Of course, Ying would not act like a greasy uncle and give Alicia such useless knowledge. Just smelling the bowl of plain noodles with only a few green vegetables in front of her made her index finger move.

She won't think about lust in advance before the food is in her mouth.

However, Ying did not move her chopsticks immediately. Instead, she raised her head, looked at Alicia who seemed to be about to go to the bathroom, and asked the question quite seriously that she had not asked last night because she was too sleepy: "Why are you doing the same thing?" The food you make is so delicious, but I can’t do it? It’s obviously the same ingredients, the same ingredients, and the same water source!”

Alicia didn't expect Ying to ask such a question.

To give a serious answer, of course the order in which the ingredients are processed, the heat during cooking, and even the ratio of ingredients all play a role.

However, that kind of answer was obviously not Alicia's style.

So, after pondering for a while, Alicia quickly found an answer that suited her style: "Well... of course it's because... the food I make is full of the things I love you that have nowhere to bloom. Love~?”

Having said that, she saw that Ying's face turned red under her verbal attack. Alicia thought to herself, "Ying is really cute," and then hummed a song from the new album and headed towards the bathroom. .

And after Ying was shy for a short time, he resolutely worked hard and finished the bowl of Yangchun noodles made by Alicia, not even the soup was left.

Looking at the porcelain bowl that still looked like it had been licked, Ying fell into a brief thought.

However, this time she did not choose to destroy the evidence.

After all, noodle soup is no better than porridge, and it is indeed possible to eat it so cleanly.

Of course, the most important thing is that if she doesn't leave, she will really be late.

So, Ying ran to the bathroom door to tell Alicia, confessed her crime, and promised that she would take care of all the dishwashing work in the future. Then she hurried out and rushed towards St. Freya Academy, and finally We arrived at the set before ten o'clock.

Arriving outside the set, Ying saw the neatly parked commercial vehicles equipped by Tianming Film and Television Company for the crew. They were also the means of transportation for everyone to go out for supper last night.

At this time, staff from each group were moving their equipment into the studio.

After Ying entered the set and showed off her face, she also ran outside to help.

The crew members are all professionals and know the crew's work flow.The photography team, lighting team, and sound recording team unpacked their equipment, and then each found a place to sit down and wait for the actors to arrive.

If the actors are not present, various departments have to wait.

Although "Honkai Academy" is a web drama, the entire process is shot according to the movie process.

Film shooting has a standard process. Only by following the process can the efficiency of film shooting be ensured. This is also the reason why Yingying made this choice. In addition to considering quality, we also need to consider speed.

Film shooting can be divided into five steps: positioning, lighting, rehearsal, fine-tuning, and shooting.

The first step is to move. The so-called positioning means that the actor simply performs the content of the scene roughly to determine where the actor moves during the performance and the actions of the characters.

The step of positioning is very important. Only by determining the actor's position can the photographer determine the camera position, scene and movement method according to the actor's performance area, and then determine the starting and ending angles, the focal length and height of the lens. Position, etc.; at the same time, the lighting engineer can determine the light position according to the performance area to arrange the lighting; the artist can also set up the scenery according to the location of the performance area.

As for where are the actors now?

Of course it's not late.

The actors even arrived half an hour early, and with them were the makeup artists from the crew. Now they were applying makeup in a classroom that was temporarily transformed into a makeup room.

In today's scene, Kiana once again put on that tight-fitting battle suit with a special photography style. The name in the game was used in the play, and this suit of armor was named Bai Lian. It is the third generation female developed by the Destiny Organization. The Valkyrie Armor is designed to be an advanced armor that can only be equipped by Valkyries of B rank or above.

And this set of armor will accompany Kiana for a long time both on and off screen.

In the dressing room, Kiana looked in the mirror wearing a so-called battle armor that perfectly outlined her outstanding figure, her face turned slightly red.

Especially the large area of ​​skin exposed from the collarbone downwards to the chest upwards made her feel a little at a loss.

She couldn't help but murmured in a low voice: "The Valkyrie in this world dresses like this to fight. Is there something wrong somewhere?"

However, now that things have happened, it is impossible for Kiana to say anything about quitting.

If she really had to raise an objection, she should have raised it when she was filming the footage needed for the promotional video.

At that time, she put on this 'costume', and behind it she also put on a trial version of the fourth-generation Valkyrie God-killing Armor named White Knight Moonlight.

Oh, yes, Kiana has read the script. Near the end of the first season, she will put on that armor again, but judging from the description in the script, it seems that it will be slightly different from that in the promotional video.

However, now is not the time to consider this.

She took a deep breath, forced down her shyness, and after confirming with the makeup artist that the makeup and costumes were fine, she came to the set.

At this time, Theresa was also ready. Today was mainly about filming the scene where the two of them were in Theresa's special training room.

In addition, there is another protagonist here, who is almost the most famous actor in the entire "Honkai Academy" crew. Sakura is already a second-tier popular actor.

She will make a guest appearance today as the No. 1 enemy that Kiana encounters in the training room after putting on the Bailian armor, a mysterious miko named Yae Sakura who wears a pink miko uniform and has long fox ears.

In fact, with Sakura's appearance and professional skills, she should have been a first-line actor long ago, but most of her thoughts are on her rather frail sister Suzu, and she can't even take on one movie all year round. In addition, she has never encountered a role that is particularly suitable for her... However, even so, she has taken root at the top of the second line, which shows her acting skills and popularity.

Chapter 31 Director at work~

So the question is, if Sakura is so difficult to hire, how did Ying sign a contract with her when the crew was not even popular at the time?

Of course, it was because the poor health of Sakura's younger sister Suzu was a thing of the past, and because the other party saw that Yae Sakura's character didn't have too many roles, he agreed.

At least in the first season of "Honkai Academy", the character Yae Sakura only appeared in the second episode. This is very suitable for Sakura to send a signal to the film and television industry that she is starting to take roles.

At the same time, Yingying also needed an already popular actor like Sakura to add weight to the official launch of the "Honkai Academy" project, so the two parties hit it off.

Sakura, who was waiting for the filming to begin, felt the same as when Kiana looked in the mirror in the dressing room. She wondered whose miko costume would expose all of her shoulders, and wear a short skirt that didn't reach her knees and a black top. Half-knee socks?

Not to mention that the pair of long ears are actually described as fox ears.

What breed of fox has ears like this?Are you sure it's not the rare pink donkey ears?

As for the shrine maiden not wearing a bow, but wearing a traditional Far Eastern katana, that’s not a bad point. After all, it’s not that mikos don’t wear swords (swords) in traditional Far East movies and TV shows, they just wear more bows.

Seeing the scene being filmed today, the three main actors: Kiana, Teresa and Sakura all put on makeup and costumes. Ying stood up from the plastic armchair next to the monitor and shouted loudly. Shouted: "The actors are already in place. Let's take a seat first. All groups are ready and work will start immediately!"

Hearing Ying's shout, the lighting, photography, art, and boom operators all came over, waiting to determine the actor's performance area.

Yingze called Kiana, Theresa and Sakura to the front. In this special training room, which was mostly built with green screens and awaited post-production synthesis, and converted from a multimedia classroom, the three of them walked roughly for two days. Go through the play and determine the performance area.

The photography assistant immediately followed up. According to the actor's movement, he put tape on the ground and marked it. This was a reminder to the actor to prevent him from walking outside the camera while acting.

Immediately afterwards, Ying took the three of them outside the performance area, and she gave them a detailed analysis of the characters' motivations, psychological states, performance requirements, etc. in the scene, which is what is usually called drama telling.

At the same time, the camera operator leads the camera crew to place the camera, lay out the track, and rehearse movements according to the photographer's requirements; while the photographer himself cooperates with the lighting engineer to start lighting.

Lighting is a very complicated process. It requires a light meter to measure the brightness of the light and the color temperature of the light. Only when the various parameters of the light are accurate can the best picture be taken.

Therefore, lighting is the slowest of all departments and takes the most time. Under normal circumstances, it takes about 45 minutes to arrange a panorama and 15 minutes to arrange a close-up.

Yingying has strict requirements on the quality of the drama, so even if it is in a hurry, it will not be careless in these aspects.

While the lighting engineer is busy, other departments are also busy. The recording assistant begins to install wireless microphones for the actors; the art staff will work with the operator to clean the venue, add and organize props according to the range seen by the camera lens.

After the lighting was roughly completed and Ying's narration was over, the three actors were asked to return to the performance area, and Ying began to guide the three of them to rehearse in the performance area.

The rehearsal at this time is mainly to adjust the details of the performance and explain what emotions, eyes, expressions, and tone the actors will use in the next scene or shot. Most directors will put forward clear performance requirements or Tell the actor the true state of the character, and some directors such as Jiang Wen who are actors will not give the actors too many restrictions and let them play freely. A very small number of directors who are particularly good at guiding actors' performances, such as Ang Lee, will directly make demonstration suggestions.

Strictly speaking, Ying belongs to the latter. She is not an actress, but she can be regarded as one of the directors who is particularly good at guiding actors to perform.

In particular, she already has the complete character arcs of all the characters in her mind. Therefore, she often has very specific requirements when guiding Kiana and others, almost completely embodying the game characters in her mind. Kia The three of them just need to act out the feeling she described.

Rehearsal is very important for the crew of "Honkai Academy" because the scenery and lighting take a lot of time, so the actors must not stretch their hips when performing, otherwise it is very likely that these preliminary preparations will be disrupted. It would take a lot of time to overthrow and start over. In this way, it would be impossible to keep up with the filming progress of the last broadcast.
