Chapter 168 The three-minute date embedded in the plot
"Preview trailer? This early in the morning... is too... too sudden... are you serious?"
Her tone was obviously filled with distrust. Weng Huaijing lowered her head and glanced at the scripts and storyboards in her mailbox. She couldn't understand why she had just hinted that Yan Qing would deliver food to her, but why she suddenly changed to filming a pilot trailer.
——
Ni Ni, a newbie in the workplace, was lucky enough to be chosen as a personal assistant by Wen Er'er, the big devil and the editor-in-chief of the top fashion magazine "Vogue". Her rapid rise to the top attracted the covetousness of countless people. She worked diligently and diligently to prove herself, and thus became
Very busy, I only have a few minutes of free time every day to go downstairs to buy food at noon.
Ni Ni, who is not afraid of difficulties at work, actually has other concerns. She is very afraid that her boyfriend Ethan will gradually alienate her just like Wen Er's previous assistants described their breakups.
Ethan is a moderate star with a full schedule. Originally, the two of them didn't have much time together. After she was promoted to the editor-in-chief's personal assistant, she had even less time to fall in love.
The pressure of work has overwhelmed her, and Ni Ni is reluctant to let go of this relationship, but she is helpless.
Keenly observing Ni Ni's thoughts, Ethan came up with an unforgettable "Three Minute Date".
The three minutes include all the things a normal couple should do, such as chatting, eating, watching movies, drinking coffee, driving, driving on the road, and even kissing goodbye.

"Of course I am serious. I have sent the entire script to Su Meng for internal review..."
Yan Qing explained honestly: "Over at the magazine, Mengmeng, the property manager of the W1 office building in Imperial Oriental Plaza, will contact me. The venue should be available for us to use for thirty minutes to an hour after four o'clock in the afternoon."
"Time is too tight..."
On the phone, Weng Huai's tone was doubtful: "Without any warning, why didn't you say anything yesterday..."
"I didn't understand what you were implying yesterday..."
Muttering in his heart, Yan Qing explained sincerely and carefully: "We really need to make a trailer, not only for the needs of Whisper Pictures and HMG, but this plot can also be used to convince Anna Victoria.
side."
"Huh... don't do this..."
Without the influence of the external environment, the voice on the phone sounded like a girl next door: "I've already called Anna."
"I know, Su Meng said that without you, Ms. Victoria would not have given the green light to this project so smoothly..."
Yan Qing's voice suddenly became serious: "If possible, I would still like to go to New York to shoot this film. After all, this is a film about the mainstream Western fashion circle. If, like Ms. Victoria suggested, the story is set in the imperial capital,
It’s somewhat nondescript.”
"Su Meng really told you everything..."
Weng Huaijing poured cold water on her: "It's probably difficult to be photographed in the main issue of Vogue. It's not like you don't know that Anna is very serious...she separates fashion and entertainment very well."
Yan Qing brought the topic back to its original point: "So I want to use the trailer to tell her that this is actually a very beautiful love movie."
"You really don't want to take advantage of the opportunity..."
He vaguely guessed Yan Qing's feelings for Sima Zhao, but Weng Huaijing was still a little shy about speaking out.
"Yes! I really want to date you too..."
Yan Qing admitted frankly: "After all, you are so busy, so you can take this opportunity to kill two birds with one stone and get the best of both worlds."
"But... we don't have enough manpower now."
Weng Huaijing continued to make excuses. After all, the program team was on vacation, and most of the crew members that Yan Qing had used smoothly had returned to Shanghai.
Yan Qing was naturally well prepared early in the morning. He said calmly: "Lao Zhang will be back in the afternoon and can be the coordinator. Tan Sen didn't go back at all. He will give us live shots and props the day after tomorrow.
As for the teacher, I just communicated with Shao Qing and Luo Bing, and they can find people from Whisper Pictures, including drivers."
"But you can't be in the camera. This is a commercial movie."
Weng Huaijing's voice was a little proud, and she felt that she had a hold on Yan Qing's fate.
Yan Qing thought about Weng Huaijing's cute appearance, and he couldn't help but laugh: "My role rarely appears."
Tsundere is extremely strict: "That's also going to be on camera..."
The first love Qingzhizhu is in hand: "I plan to wear a Pandaren suit and not show my face the whole time."
Tsundere longs for sweetness but dislikes it: "Pandaren, what the hell is the name Ni Ni!"
My first love was innocent and cute: "I also like pandas, Ni... because my assistant who happens to be cute is named Sijia Ni..."
"Since it's work..."
Weng Huaijing turned his back and spoke slowly into the phone: "Then I can probably spare thirty minutes this afternoon."
…
4:30 p.m.
No. 1 East Chang'an Street
Imperial Capital Oriental Plaza W1 Office Building
…
Zhang Yameng, the first-time coordinator, was quite handy in arranging the location set. Since she didn’t have an assistant director, she raised the director’s microphone and said gracefully:
"The first shot of the New York version preview trailer of "The Devil Wears Lu", action!"
The young scene manager who was supported by Whispering Pictures made a clear call, and the temporarily formed crew responded very quickly and started running at high speed.
Weng Huaijing was wearing a white shirt and a high-waisted skirt that are common in the neighborhood OL, with a "Vogue" magazine social worker badge hanging on her chest. She hurriedly came out of the revolving door of the lobby carrying a neonoe handbag with a checkerboard pattern from the Lu family.
After stopping for a moment to take a look at the weather, Weng Huaijing was about to continue walking to the street on the right when he was stopped by a loud voice in English.
“nini…hold on please!”
Weng Huaijing... and Ni Ni turned around at the sound, and a man in a plush panda suit chased after him.
Although the man's voice muffled by the hood was a little distorted, Ni Ni still recognized that it was her boyfriend. Her expression was one part surprise, one part confusion, and two parts shy.
Wearing high heels, Ni Ni is nearly 180cm tall. She reaches out her hand to gently touch the panda's head without stepping on her feet, and speaks fluent American English: "Ethan, why are you here and dressed like this?"
"I'm here to date you. I'm dressed like this because..."
Pandaman Ethan was so naive that he spread his hands and said, "I don't want to cause a commotion among the fans."
"Are you hot?"
Ni Ni was moved and helpless. She shook her head and said, "But..."
Ethan interrupted her quickly: "You only have three minutes, right?"
Ni Ni pursed her lips and nodded: "Yes."
It was obvious that the panda was well prepared. He handed his furry hand to Ni Ni, who was dressed in professional attire, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, dear, do you want to have a three-minute date with me?"
Ni Ni held the panda's paw playfully, her beautiful eyes moving: "Okay, what should we do with the remaining two and a half minutes?"
Suddenly being fooled by a pornographic joke, the Pandaren fell silent: "..."
Ni Ni smiled and gently hammered Ethan's plush chest: "just kidding..."
Panda Hanhan tried to scratch his head but failed. He took Ni Ni with his other hand and walked towards the street.
Worried about Ethan's safety, Ni Ni kept up the pace, but she refused: "Stop it, I have to buy lunch. If I'm late, our editor-in-chief will fire me."
"There's really only two and a half minutes left now... let's start
The panda ignored his girlfriend's objections and waved to the road, shouting: "taxi!"
However, a Lincoln sedan in yellow New York taxi livery immediately stopped in front of them.
Opening the left back door of the taxi, the panda man half pushed and half hugged Ni Ni into the car, and then jumped around to the right side of the car.
Ni Ni sat down helplessly, and reminded her: "Ethan, be careful, and I really only have two and a half minutes left."
"Don't worry, I know your friends have always thought that I am not romantic enough~ I have carefully prepared this date today."
Pandaman climbed into the back seat easily and struggled to fasten his seat belt.
Ni Ni said seriously: "Two and a half minutes, which is one hundred and fifty seconds."
Of course the taxi driver is Shao Qing, who speaks fluent Asian-accented English: "Where are you going?"
The panda man fastened his seat belt with the help of Ni Ni. Without moving his head, he kept urging: "Master, please come to 213 West 42nd Street. Please hurry up, we are in a hurry."
Ni Ni looked at the work badge on her chest in surprise, and murmured: "213 West 42nd Street, isn't that..."
Lincoln drove less than ten meters ahead and stopped again.
"We're here, please..."
Quickly opening the car door, the panda man walked around to the outdoor dining table prepared on Ni Ni's side of the road with great difficulty. Ethan politely pulled out a stool for her.
Ni Ni looked at the surrounding environment, brushed her skirt and sat down elegantly. She was pleasantly surprised and said: "It's actually here. I've always wanted to come here to try it, but it's a pity..."
“Signature Salad.”
Soon Luo Bing's cameo appearance as a waitress came into view. She was wearing a vest, trousers, and a bow tie. She brought two plates of cold dishes to the table, left a few words, and left.
The panda picked up the lemonade glass on the table, bit the straw and asked, "honey, what's the gossip in the office today?"
"Don't you hate hearing me complain about this?"
Feng Qingwan rolled her eyes, and Ni Ni picked up a piece of avocado and started chewing it slowly.
The Pandaren shook his head greatly and said in a deep voice: "No, I will spend more time with you in the future."
Ni Ni finally swallowed the food and began to complain to her boyfriend doubtfully: "Does it count that Wen Er fired two more editors today..."
"Haha~"
The panda people laughed in agreement: "No, it will only be news if she doesn't fire people..."
