VIP Class Notes (JJ)

Some years ago —> A few years ago

Now, she is the leader of my former company/she is leading my former company

About 8 years ago, I worked on a project which was a tvc for a shampoo.
The director is Taiwanese. He is bad-tempered . He always shouts at the staff when he feels unhappy. We shot for 3 days, during this time, he got angry so many times , and he left twice when we was shooting. All the staff and clients waited for him to come back. It’s a very childish behaviour I think , even though he was famous. The producer begged him to stay and to continue the shoot , I thought the best idea was to let him go and change a director, that way, he won’t leave again for the next project.
