Speaking exercise

It is about the actress who is aged over 30. It talks about the charisma about aged women.
usually the public likes the young girls.
Usually we will choose the girls aged at 20-25 to make them be the famous stars and we have ageism about older actresses but after this reality show the public gives the huge support and focuses on those women
and finally we find that women who has their career and their lives can be very charming and so next week I will have a shoot about one of the actress and I will go to Changsha and I am very expected to the shooting

this time the talent is very famous actress so I want to find what different about her .
I found that she is the one who can very focus on her work and forget everything other when she is making the film and she has the passion of the film. when she was shooting she will forget everything so I think that is her destiny to e very popular finally.
We need to decide the scene and we need to decided what is the decoration is more fit for the shoot.
We can do at Changsha because they don’t have good photographer studio so we need to decide what is possible for us.
we need to check her schedule because she is very busy.
We need to be very efficient

We need some portrait focus on her face and some close up and maybe some full body shots with the emotions

We want to show the different styles of her, one is very lazy and gentle and the other one is show her passion. show her the the style which looks like the man.

the people think it is racism to asia.

that is very different because our magazine has their cover/ but when you put 2 magazines together the US one the star still has wrinkles and they are not very fit but they look real as who they are but in China’s cover everyone is perfect. They look always like the young girls and don’t have anything on their face.

usually we want to have artificial lights but it is hard because you can have the equiment
When we have the shoots in other countries that is the most important problem for us because we cant rent the equipment at budget because we cant find the producer.
we fly the equipment to the location.
Usually for the video shoot only maybe 50k but maybe 500k or more. for our light group only 1 or the photographer he can do the light.
