Quest Description

In the Court of Fontaine, you meet a group of people from Liyue...

(Approach Ms. Qiu, Xingye, or Yifeng): Xingye: What're we gonna do now, Boss? The filming's not done and the Kamera's lost...; Ms. Qiu: Alright, stop sighing. Didn't we go post a commission at the Adventurers' Guild?; Ms. Qiu: There's only one thing we got left to do today, and that's to wait...; Yifeng: Yeah, but our half-finished film is still in the Kamera.; Yifeng: Even though the machine's pretty hardy, if the film gets damaged...; Ms. Qiu: Then...; What Film Kamera?; What's wrong?; Ms. Qiu: Well, well! Didn't I say help was coming? As I said, all we had to do was wait!; Yifeng: When did the Adventurers' Guild get this efficient?; Xingye: Hmm, it seems like some Fontainians aren't that slow-going after all.; Ms. Qiu: Hello there, adventurer. You must be here for the commission to help us get our Film Kamera back, right?; Ms. Qiu: We were attacked by monsters over there, can you please hurry...; I didn't accept any commission.; I was just passing through.; Xingye: Oh...; Yifeng: Then...; Ms. Qiu: That's fine! It's all fine. I knew the Adventurers' Guild wasn't reliable...; Ms. Qiu: Adventurer, would you like to accept an emergency commission? The pay's real good.; That sounds fine...; As long as the pay's good.; Ms. Qiu: Great! Fantastic! I need you to go over and help us get our Film Kamera back! We'd be in your debt!

(Talk to Xingye again, optional): Xingye: *sigh* When will I get to go back to Qiaoying Village...

(Talk to Ms. Qiu again, optional): Ms. Qiu: Please, adventurer, please go get us our Film Kamera back.

(Talk to Yifeng again, optional): Yifeng: This shoot has been nothing but disasters...

(After defeating monsters): Ms. Qiu: Great! The Film Kamera is intact, and the film hasn't been destroyed...; Ms. Qiu: Thank the Archons. I thought we were gonna have to start shooting all over again.; Why are you filming here?; Seems you aren't from Fontaine either.; Ms. Qiu: It's a long story...; Ms. Qiu: Let's keep it brief. We three are from Qiaoying Village in Liyue.; Ms. Qiu: Most people there are in the tea business but we... don't have any interest in tea...; Ms. Qiu: So, we changed professions and started filming dokumentari films to help promote tea vendors in the village.; Yifeng: In truth, there are too many people in the tea business, and we just couldn't compete.; Xingye: The skilled helpers we had at the store left one by one to work elsewhere, so if we just stuck to making tea, we'd be starving.; Ms. Qiu: Can't you two... not make things sound so depressing!?; Ms. Qiu: We've made plenty of Mora shooting these tea dokumentaris in the village.; Yifeng: But recently, some others in the village have also started to shoot their own promotional films.; Xingye: Some of them are even performing an opera in them. They're making a real big show of it.; Ms. Qiu: So that's why we're in Fontaine. We're trying to seek advice from master filmmakers!; So, you're here to learn about filmmaking in Fontaine?; Ms. Qiu: Yeah. We found this "lighting expert" called Geisert.; Ms. Qiu: He's real good at using lighting to film... what was it again?; Yifeng: "Narratives."; Ms. Qiu: Yeah! Applying lighting to his "narratives."; Ms. Qiu: With Mr. Geisert's advice, we can definitely shoot the best films in all of Qiaoying Village!; Xingye: Boss, last month you said we were going to shoot the best films in Liyue.; Ms. Qiu: You have to adjust your expectations realistically when doing business... What do you know?; Ms. Qiu: Anyway, thanks for your help, Traveler. Here, take this Mora.; Ms. Qiu: Xingye, Yifeng, pack that up quick! We gotta finish shooting our sample and show it to Mr. Geisert.; Ms. Qiu: Watch the lighting! The Kamera's gotta be angled toward the light source in this way. We gotta capture that... high-definition lighting!; Ms. Qiu: You all read that book, right? The lighting's gotta have a sense of texture? You get what I'm saying?; Xingye: Boss, we might've read Mr. Geisert's book...; Yifeng: But with what we got, we're not going to be able to capture that high-definition lighting tactility you want no matter how much we struggle...
