Chapter 401: – Documentary
The Love Welfare Institute didn’t seem to have any major issues. At least from how the children were acting, even if there were any problems, it didn’t seem to be affecting them.
Lin Jin didn’t want to make a promotional video specifically for this welfare institute.
But after thinking it over, she still asked Xia Tian to add the name and address of the welfare institute during post production, and also mention some of the institute’s negative reports in the video. This way, those kind hearted people who only know the name and address would definitely go there to visit or volunteer. They would also make donations if they felt like it.
In the following days, Lin Jin just repeated the trip from the previous three days. As a powerless college student, although she wanted to find out whether there were shady dealings going on, this kind of thing was impossible for her to do anything about. All she could do was have Zhu Dong record her visits every day, and then let Xia Tian slowly edit it.
Xia Tian’s editing skills were pretty good. Even though he seems to have only graduated a year ago and was just two years older than Lin Jin, his fundamentals were really good. Plus, he had learned a few things from working. While professionals might still find some issues with his videos, there were at least no problems with the flow.
On Saturday, the video was uploaded.
Lin Jin once again promoted it on Weibo, then calmly waited for the video to slowly gain traction.
Well, even though Lin Jin had one to two thousand followers on Weibo, it seemed only about a hundred or so of them actively used Weibo. Every time she made a Weibo post, it would only get one to two hundred views and ten or so comments. Plus, her followers were scattered across various platforms, so they didn’t really do much to boost her video’s views.
With the promotion on Xia Tian’s live stream, around half a day later, the number of views on A Site broke a thousand.
Of course, this wasn't all because of Weibo and live stream promotions. Most of it was probably due to her last dance video, which had caused many users of A Site to start paying attention to Lin Jin’s account.
Without paying too much attention to the comments, Lin Jin changed into her everyday clothes and stepped out of the house.
It was already seven o’clock in the evening.
Today, Qiu Yufei had almost got the basics. At the very least, she had no trouble with the ballet leg presses and stretching exercises.
Lin Jin was considering whether she should have Yufei start learning some basic ballet dance steps or something like that tomorrow.
It seems ballet’s usually danced on tiptoes, right?
Although she was teaching ballet, Lin Jin didn’t actually know much about it. She thought that once Qiu Yufei started school, if she had some spare money by then, she would enroll her in a proper ballet training school. Otherwise, with her amateur training, such a promising seedling like Qiu Yufei would be ruined sooner or later.
As she was thinking about all sorts of random things, Lin Jin leisurely walked to Xia Tian’s rental apartment.
Speaking of which, Lin Jin’s weight was getting lighter and lighter. Before, the 160cm her actually weighed 60kg. Later, she gradually slimmed down. It wasn’t until yesterday when she went to a pharmacy to weigh herself did she realize that her recent diligent exercises had brought her down to 50kg.
Hmm, 100 kg at 160 cm should be okay, right?
Lin Jin wasn’t entirely satisfied with her figure. Her buttocks were too full, and her thighs were also a bit thick. Look at the other girls, their thighs and calves were basically the same size. So envious.
Lin Jin felt she should probably lose another 5 kg. In that case, her figure would be just right. Since she had been practicing dance for so long, as long as she didn’t have any extra fat, her figure would look quite nice.
She slowly arrived at the door of Xia Tian’s apartment, stretched out her hand, and gently knocked twice. She didn’t wait long before Xia Tian, with a noticeably happy expression, opened the door.
What the hell’s with that happy face?
Although Xia Tian’s face was expressionless and looked as much as an iceberg as usual, Lin Jin could clearly tell that he seemed to be in a good mood.
"Why do you look so happy?" Lin Jin, who visited often, didn't feel like a guest at all. She sat her butt down on Xia Tian's bed, yawned, and casually continued "Oh right, the video’s been up for half a day yet I haven’t seen it yet."
Xia Tian closed the door and sat down before his computer to organize some documents.
"Why are you ignoring me?" Lin Jin rolled her eyes.
"I start work on Monday" Xia Tian stored the documents on his desk in a drawer, then began clicking on his computer screen. Expressionless, he talked about the thing he was happy about "Today, I went for an interview at a game company, for 3D modeling. Work six days with one day off. During the trial period, I’ll get four thousand a month."
"Wow! So awesome!" Lin Jin immediately put on a starstruck expression, her eyes shining as she looked at Xia Tian, showering him with praise. "With such a talented and handsome guy like you, Xia Tian, that game company really hit the jackpot!"
"But I'll have to work overtime a lot, so I might not have time to help you with your videos anymore." Xia Tian added, "Game companies are really busy."
"Tch" Lin Jin immediately reined in her expression and turned her head away with a disdainful look "If you don't want to do it, there are plenty of people who would love to help me!"
Lin Jin didn’t have any particular reason for coming over to Xia Tian’s place tonight. She was mainly just bored and had nothing better to do, so she decided to come over.
Xia Tian started the live stream. Just like last time, Lin Jin directly took over his spot and began showing the viewers her video.
This time, the video was more like a documentary. It used five days' worth of footage, the original ten or so hours of footage was compressed by Xia Tian into a ten minute video.
Clicking on the video, the intro was similar to the dance video last time, an anime style drawing.
This drawing was clearly a work in progress, with somewhat messy lines and colors. The contents depicted a panoramic view of the activity room on the second floor of the welfare institute. There were at least twenty characters in the scene, mostly children playing around in the welfare institute. On the right side of the scene, Lin Jin's tall figure stood out among the group.
Of course, saying she was tall was only when compared to the group of children.
In the bottom right corner of the image, four small words read: “Art By: Xia Tian.”
So it seemed that the intro for the last dance video was also drawn by Xia Tian, right? No wonder the drawing captured her so well, so it wasn’t just some random image from the internet.
The intro gradually faded and the main content appeared. The first shot showed the backs of three people and the somewhat rundown welfare institute that looked more like a neglected kindergarten in the distance.
The backs of the three people were Wu Min, Lin Jin, and Xia Tian. The cameraman Zhu Dong didn’t appear in the video at all.
Then, the background music softly began to play as the main part of the video started. This ten minute video beautifully showcased the daily lives of the children at the welfare institute. It also captured scenes of Lin Jin playing with the children and teaching Yufei how to dance.
The ten minutes of content was very short, but the stuff that needed to be shown was all shown. At the end of the video, text appeared telling the negative reports of the welfare institute along with the address and stuff.
Well, it could be considered a good documentary video, right? Although it was only ten minutes long.
