My Dreamy Old Husband
Chapter 353

So it was Cooper Mitchell! No wonder he looked so familiar!

Apparently, the director and Cooper had worked together on the video. After its release, the entirestudent crew was amazed. They whispered amongst themselves, with the focus of their gossip beingCooper.

"Oh, so he's Cooper Mitchell! My god, he’s so handsome!”

“So that's Natasha's uncle! He received his double Ph.D. from Bayside University at just 18 years old.God, how can there be such a talented person in this world?!"

“I'm so jealous! If only I could have such an amazing and handsome uncle!”

Natasha heard everyone's whispers and her lips moved into a confident smile, but she was sneeringsecretly in her heart. What a bunch of peasants! What wishful thinking! However, being CooperMitchell's biological niece, she was naturally proud about it. Thus, she couldn't help but straightenher back and enjoy the looks of envy people threw at her.

After watching the videos, everyone dispersed. Sophia and Gemma exited the School ofCinematography’s building and decided to take a look at the Alumni Corridor. The Alumni Corridorwas also one of Bayside University's well-known spots; it was where the best students of theuniversity were displayed along the corridor. The long corridor was continuously expanding, withnew “Best’ students being constantly added.

To be displayed in the corridor, one had to be the top student of Bayside University. On average, anew student was added to the corridor every few years. From its establishment until the present, atotal of over 60 students have been added to the Bayside University Alumni Corridor.

Sophia had never visited the corridor before, and today was her first time. In the corridor, as she waswalking, she stopped when she saw Michael's portrait. When Michael was studying in the university,he attended under the name Taylor Murray’. So now, the name under the portrait was also “TaylorMurray’.

With that one portrait of his handsome face in the corridor, instantly, the whole corridor becamemore star-studded.

Bayside University had many other campuses and amongst them was the Bayside University ofNational Defense. It was a military academy and from its name alone, it seemed to have nothing incommon with Bayside University.

However, they both operated under the same academic systems and were both under BaysideUniversity management. Thus, alumni from the Bayside University of National Defense were alsopresent in the corridor, including Joel Fletcher and Irene Weber.

Finally, she came across Cooper Mitchell's portrait, which had his accomplishments listed beneath it.He was 18 when he received a double Ph.D. from Bayside University in music and economics. Hereally was a rare talent. In the hundred years of Bayside University's history, he seemed to be theonly one with such gifts.

Other alumni often only got their portraits put up in the corridor upon graduating and making adifference and a name for themselves in the world. For example, Michael Fletcher only got his placein the corridor after becoming the first actor from Cethos to receive an Oscar.

Even Joel only had his portrait recently hung, whereas Cooper was the first alumni to ever befeatured in the corridor while still an actual student.

Looking at the timing of it, he must have been 17 when he was given a place in the Alumni Corridoras he looked 17 in the featured portrait. Cooper's childhood face carried a carefree smile butaccording to his list of accomplishments, he wasn't just a Bayside University Ph.D. graduate. At thatpoint, he had also taken over the family business and was the junior president.

Cooper Mitchell, seemed to Sophia like a tall mountain that lay in front of her. A tall mountain thatshe would not be able to surpass. No, he was everyone's tall mountain!

Sophia raised her head to look at Cooper, trying to envision him experiencing the past 20 years. Shetilted her head and looked at it for a long while before subconsciously holding onto the pendantthat lay on her chest. Who knew when would she be able to be like Cooper and be featured in thecorridor?

Sophia followed along with the crew of the promo video, shooting for several days straight until itwas done. After that, it didn't take long for everyone to get the sample of the promo video. Shehappily took the samples home to show Michael. After all, this was her debut role!

Michael played the sample tape on the living room television. After watching it once, his eyebrowscrinkled; he felt as though something wasn't right so he watched it again. What the hell kind ofvideo is this?! The entire video was filmed very well—its pacing was appropriate and the soundtrackto it was emotional. Everything was of high quality and the editing was excellent too. The onlyproblem was Sophia.

Whenever Sophia was featured in a scene, the entire film's composition and color grading changedcompletely. Her makeup didn't match the style of the video. While others had on light makeup thatgave them an elegant and suitable temperament, Sophia had heavy makeup that did not match herclothes. The composition, angle, and positioning of the camera were also huge issues.

Amateurs, as a whole, wouldn't be able to tell what the problem was. They'd only get one feeling—she was ugly! She had essentially been portrayed as Bayside University's number one flirtatious golddigger trying to fish for a man!

Sophia might be a greenhorn who didn’t know how to make movies but she had a husband athome who did this professionally. Two days ago when Sophia was at home researching andpreparing for the promo video shoot, Michael had also glanced at it.

He noticed that it was the same situation as last year wherein the whole crew revolved around oneperson, deliberately filming them beautifully and making the others seem ugly.

It was evident who that one person was. One only had to see who was the nicest to watch in thesample and who seemed to be problematic. Who knew that one could use a promotional video tocreate so many new avenues? He had really underestimated Natasha!

Michael directly told Sophia, “All of your scenes need to be reshot. Those close-up photos too;retake them!” Not only were the visuals in the video ugly, but the photos to be posted on theofficial website were shot particularly ugly too. There were major issues with the composition andthe angles of them. They had tried to shoot the pictures from below but it was typically reallydifficult to get good pictures from that angle.

When Sophia watched the samples, she did feel that something wasn't quite right, and now shefinally saw what was wrong. She never thought Natasha would be so bitter as to deliberately makeher seem ugly! And not only her, but everyone else was shot to seem ugly too! She frowned.

“But if we were to reshoot everything—seeing that they could make me look ugly the first time—they'd do it again the second time. After all, the senior director is one of Natasha's people.”

Michael set down the remote control. “Leave this to me. I'm the professional.”

With that, he took away the samples. The next day, he invited a team of professionals to reshootSophia's scenes. Michael personally supervised the entire production. Although Sophia only had afew scenes, he ensured that they were the most beautiful shots.

And sure enough, it was professionally done. The new sample arrived within a few days and the newscenes had been perfectly edited into the original sample. Sophia now looked like a dynamite. Allher angles and the composition of the frames were now first-class, and her make-up was perfect.Everything achieved the original artistic concept.

However, it was already too late. At that point, the original promo video had already been uploadedonto the university's official website

Michael glanced at the website. In the promo video, Bayside University and Natasha lookedbeautiful. Everyone looked really energetic and portrayed the university well. Everyone exceptSophia, who just looked ugly. Because of this, Sophia was a little discouraged. After the hectic pastcouple of days, with Michael sacrificing his own time to accompany her and personally oversee theproduction on the two-day shoot, it was still too late. The promo video crew had done all thisdeliberately!

The college entrance exams were over and it was time to release the results. These next two dayswould be when Bayside University's official website would gain the largest amount of traffic. Whowouldn't want to appear on the homepage looking stunning?! Things had already progressed untilthis point. Although it was a little regrettable, it ultimately was not a big deal. If Natasha liked beingso smug about it, Sophia could only let her be!

However, this matter wasn't a small issue to Michael. His wife's issues were never a small matter! Ifhis wife was unhappy, then it'd be a huge issue! If his wife was unhappy, then he'd be unhappy!
