Chapter 11 Work

Chen Dong doesn't really care if he can get the role, or maybe he's used to it...

What he can do has been done, as an actor, a rookie actor in the singles gang, life has long taught him the most important thing, that is, the word "acceptance"!

Many times, you audition and perform very well, even one step away from signing a contract, and then the role is replaced by someone else;

Chen Dong is lucky, he has never encountered a situation where he signed a contract, but he was overpowered...

Of course, he didn't get to that level - he played small roles...

Think about Deng Chao, "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance 2", he has been in the group for three days to shoot, and then he was replaced, and he generally enters the group to shoot, which means that the contract must have been signed!

That's it, can it still be replaced?

The producer of that drama is Xiang Huasheng, Xiao Ming's godfather...

Of course, Deng Chao is not easy to mess with, "Painting Wall" cut off Huang Xiaoming...

Chen Dong, a gang of runners, encounters a situation where investors want to stuff people, of course they have to stand aside!

There is no sense of humiliation!

If you can't stand it, you can stop being an actor.

The road is chosen by himself, all industries are the same, Chen Dong used to work in state-owned enterprises and was often picked by superior leaders...

……

Li Dawei was born as a photographer and a second-generation director, and was assigned to Beijing Film Studio after graduation.

If an ordinary photographer wants to be a director, he has to temper and follow several scenes, because of Liu Guoquan's relationship, only three years after graduation, he has the opportunity to direct a TV series, his first work is called "Kyoto Detective", and in 99 he filmed "Blue Tulip"...

"The Family of Gold Powder" is his third play, and he will serve as the chief director this time.

He and Chen Dong have known each other for a long time...

How to say it, who among the students of the film school is particularly outstanding, the circle has known for a long time!

Although Chen Dong is obsessed with rehearsing dramas, he is not the kind of scholar who doesn't understand the world at all, and occasionally takes on some small commercials, and the two have worked together a few times...

In those years, the best way for film school students to make extra money was to take on single-film commercials...

One advertisement, two months of living expenses!

Chen Dong didn't go to Li Dawei as Liu Guoquan said, they chatted on the phone and made an appointment to meet, and then Chen Dong took a car to Houhai, and Ding Sheng called him and asked him to come over quickly.

Obviously, this is asking him to shoot commercials.

It just so happened that Chen Dong was running out of money in his pocket...

Urgent advertisements like this are priced at least 3,000 yuan!

By the way, to explain, most of the advertisements shot by Chen Dong will not appear on satellite TV, and will generally appear on local satellite TV!

In the past few years, the operation of TV stations has been like this: media companies will charter advertising time for a certain period of time of the TV station, and then bid for it themselves, so the small screen is filled with a bunch of unsightly advertisements...

However, when the TV station learns how to operate and absorb advertising investment, it will unload the grind and kill the donkey...

The TV station is very strong!

Ding Sheng: What they want to shoot is an advertisement for instant noodles, Hualong instant noodles.

The actor designated by the advertiser couldn't come because of something, so Ding Sheng hurriedly called his little brother...

Speaking of which, Hualong is also a big brand, when Zhao Wei was not popular, he took over the advertisement of Hualong instant noodles, and two years later, "Returning the Pearl" became popular, and Hualong directly hit the advertisement to CCTV...

simply signed Zhao Wei as the image spokesperson!

Not to mention, it's quite suitable, Hualong originally focused on the low-end market, and Xiaoyanzi's appeal in 2 and 3 small cities is definitely comparable to that of a first-line diva!

……

After arriving, Ding Sheng was really there, and there was still sitting next to him - Zhao Wei!

"Brother Ding... Teacher Zhao Wei!"

"What's your name?"

"The master is the teacher!"

“… I can't say you, Director Ding, the actors are all together, let's hurry up. ”

Zhao Wei is Chen Dong's senior sister, the two have met and are not very familiar, after all, Zhao Weihong is too early...

With a big name like this, it's good to have a few words with Chen Dong...

Ding Sheng carried the camera and said hello to a few staff members standing next to him, and the group went to the rented location - an empty room around Beihai...

Of course, it must have been refurbished before.

Ding Sheng looked at Chen Dong: "You auditioned again?"

“… Yes. ”

"What play?"

"I ran two crews today, "Jade Guanyin" and "The Family of Gold Powder"..."

“… It's a big project!"

"You know again?"

"Nonsense, don't look at me making commercials now, I will definitely enter the film and television industry in the future, of course I have to pay attention to it!"

It's not good to talk about this deeply...

Ding Sheng is a graduate of Beiying 94, and he went to Hainan to do business the year he graduated, and it turned out that he was not a businessman, and he returned to Beijing in 98 to work as his photographer again...

This person is very lucky, in 98, he made a fortune as an iron buddy, invested in him to make the first movie in his life "Fuss", and then lost 2 million...

I'm quite guilty, after all, it's his iron...

So in 99, Ding Sheng went back to Beijing Film Academy for a one-year director training class. Because of the painful experience of the failure of "Fuss", after graduating from the advanced course, he did not rush to make a movie, but became an advertising director...

The wind and water are booming, and more than 50 commercials were filmed last year...

For the time being, I don't see that he has any plans to enter the film and television industry...

So Chen Dong took the initiative to change the topic: "... How much can I get this time?"

"Because it's urgent, I can get 5,000 yuan!"

“… That's good. ”

5,000 yuan, almost catching up with the salary of the last TV series...

Shooting commercials, if it goes well, it can be solved in half an hour, Ding Sheng is not the kind of director who strives for perfection, his advertising is just one word - fast!

So, basically Chen Dong will be able to get the money tonight!

……

The advertisement is very simple, there is no plot, and the main shots are Zhao Wei and instant noodles.

Chen Dong's role is to cooperate with Zhao Wei, and then come to the sentence 'Hualong noodles, see you every day'

This can be done by a fool, and the reason why Chen Dong was chosen is probably because he is handsome and a professional actor...

Of course, the main thing is that Ding Sheng likes to use him.

"Let's get started!"

Zhao Wei sat on the sofa, reading the newspaper in his hand, and then Chen Dong knocked on the door, Zhao Wei hurriedly walked over, opened the door, and took the things in his hand: "What did you buy? instant noodles? Hualong?"

"Yes, Hualong instant noodles!"

Then the two stared at the camera and spoke together: "Well-off family Hualong noodles, double sauce buns taste good, and the price of a single package is more realistic; good sauce with beef, good noodles with eggs; Hualong noodles, see you every day." ”

According to the pattern of the advertisement, when it is shown on TV, there must be thirty seconds to beautify how delicious the instant noodles are... No, according to Hualong positioning, it should emphasize the sufficiency...

This advertisement, without logic...

Forget it, just give the money!

And not an artist...

"Well, it was perfect!"

Zhao Wei was a little surprised, this is the end?

Chen Dong has long been accustomed to this buddy's efficiency: "Finished shooting?"

"Well, it's done!"

"That's good, if it's okay, I'll go first..."

This is what it means to make people hurry up and give money...
