Chapter 890: A PROFESSIONAL
"CAN you tell us now what kind of favor you want from me?" Luo Yan asked after he pulled Shen Ji Yun to sit on the opposite couch where Song Liuli and Uriel were sitting.
"It's nothing much, really. I just want you to do a promotional video of a product our team plan to promote," Uriel said. "Of course, you don't have to do it alone. You'll do it with Li Li here."
"Are you asking me to shoot some kind of commercial?" Luo Yan asked, a bit bewildered.
He knew that team Celestia get some of their funds from them doing promotional videos advertising a product. The ones who were mostly involved with that were Song Liuli and Li Xu Min. That's why Luo Yan couldn't understand why they needed him. If they only needed someone to partner up with Song Liuli, then Li Xu Min could easily do that. So, it didn't really have to be him.
On the other hand, that didn't even cross Shen Ji Yun's mind because he only thought of one thing when he heard what Uriel said. "If you're asking Ya- Noctis to shoot something in reality, then no, he won't go."
Song Liuli glanced at YUN, wondering if the other was joking. But when she saw his serious expression, she knew that that wasn't the case. She almost blurted out, 'what are you, his manager?'. It was a good thing that she managed to control herself. After all, she had to maintain her 'gentle image'.
"Then, you don't have to worry because we'll be filming it here in the game," she said in a gentle tone. "As Noctis and Jophiel," she added referring to their game account names.
"That's right. Aside from that, our team will be handling the script and the filming as well," Duan Yu said. "All you have to do is to act your part on the script."
"What exactly is this product you're planning to advertise?" Luo Yan asked.
Even if they would film this promotional video inside the game, it didn't automatically mean that they would advertise an in-game product. After all, there were products or brands in real life that also existed in the game.
Like carbonated drinks for example. Companies offered sponsorship and Moonlight Media would program their products in the game. It's like a form of advertisement in a way. One of the most common one was major fast food chains. They had branches in each of the four cities of Arcadia.
That's why Luo Yan wasn't sure just what kind of promotional video were they going to shoot. Because it could be anything, really.
"It's for a coffee shop that will open here in Arcadia on Christmas day," Uriel answered. "Since it will be posted all over Arcadia by Monday, we need to finish recording the whole promotional video by today, so we can edit it by tomorrow."
Luo Yan waited for a while for Uriel to say that he was only joking but no such thing happened. So, he had to say it himself. "Are you kidding me? If you have to finish the recording today, why did you only tell me about this now? You should have told it to me a few weeks ago!"
One of the things he hated was cramming. When it came to tests or projects, he always finished one week before the deadline. Because he didn't like the feeling of panicking at the last moment. That's how he maintained his grades at the top in his last life.
Duan Yu stared at Noctis' incredulous expression. He suddenly felt like a teacher was scolding him because he failed to pass his assignment on time. He couldn't help but make a guess that the other was probably a model student of some sort. Now, that's a bit surprising. Considering his character, he thought that Noctis would be the type who didn't care much about studying.
"Finishing the shoot today, are you planning to overwork Noctis?" YUN suddenly said on the side. The tone of his voice was very indignant as if they were planning to do something atrocious to Noctis. "And since this is a 'favor', I'm sure you're not even planning to pay him for his efforts, right? How ridiculous is that?"
Hearing what YUN said, Song Liuli was really on the verge of using one of her skills to throw the man across the room. Just what was this guy's problem? Was he some sort of warrior of justice solely dedicated to Noctis' well-being?
And how in the world would Noctis get even tired? This was virtual reality! Even if they asked Noctis to carry a hundred ton weights, he wouldn't get tired. Her first impression of YUN as someone who was cool-headed and smart was deteriorating every second that passed.
Duan Yu also felt a bit funny because of YUN's reaction. It's like someone finding faults just so Noctis wouldn't go through with it. Based on the glare that he was still throwing at Song Liuli's side from time to time, his gut feel that something was going on between the other and Noctis was quickly getting stronger.
Luo Yan, who had calmed down from his initial shock, glanced at Shen Ji Yun with a smile. "Brother YUN, it's fine. I don't need the money. I'm just worried that the quality of the video would be low because we have to hasten everything."
Since he would appear on the video, then the quality should at least be good.
"Oh then, you don't have to worry about that. We have a professional video editing team, as well as professional videographer. Aside from that, the promotional video is only about a minute or two long. It won't take that much time to shoot it," Uriel explained.
"I also apologize if you think that we're doing things without proper preparation," Song Liuli said with an apologetic voice. "It's all my fault. It's because I've been so busy that we only had time to do this now."
Looking at the other's expression as if she would cry at any second, Luo Yan suddenly felt like he was now facing a professional white lotus.
