Chapter 39: Shooting a Promotional Video
Lin Zheng naturally didn't know that the decision he made to use a pen name unintentionally would help him in the future.
After everything was negotiated, Chen Xiayu signed an agreement with Lin Zheng on behalf of Phoenix Publishing House, which included various matters such as the publication, publicity, and other aspects of Dream of Red Mansions.
The three of them had lunch together again, and Lin Zheng said goodbye and left.
As for the second half of Dream of Red Mansions, Lin Zheng is not in a hurry, anyway, there is the existence of memory extraction milk tablets, and he can toss it out at any time.
And Chen Xiayu and Li Chaoyang don't seem to be in a hurry.
After all, it's not for nothing that a book should be released first to warm up the situation in the first half.
At the same time, they also believe in Lin Zheng very much. Someone who was able to write such a novel in such a short period of time, is there anyone who doubts that he could not write the second half of the content?
After settling the matter of publishing, Lin Zheng did not wander around the streets, but returned to the Ziyu Theater. After all, no matter what, he is now a theater person, and he is always running outside, which is too unusual.
As soon as he entered the theater, he met Zhou Zijing, who was anxious, and when he saw Lin Zheng, he immediately said: "Where did you go, we looked for you in the theater for a long time, but we couldn't find you." ”
"I went out to do something, look at your anxious face, what's going on?" Lin Zheng asked.
Zhou Zijing said angrily: "The drama will be officially staged in the theater in a few days, so there will be a rehearsal of the drama this afternoon, who knows that your kid will disappear early in the morning, and now everyone is waiting for you." ”
Lin Zheng was a little embarrassed when he heard this, and immediately said: "I'm sorry, I'm delaying everyone's time, let's go quickly, it's still too late, right?"
"Hurry up to Hall 2, change your clothes and go to the stage to find the others, I'll go get something now. After Zhou Zijing finished explaining, he left in a hurry, and he didn't know what to get.
Lin Zheng didn't dare to delay any longer, he rushed to the second hall non-stop, and came to the stage after changing his clothes, the others had already changed their clothes and dressed up and were ready, it seems that Zhou Zijing was right, the big guys were waiting for him alone.
"I'm sorry, I went out this morning for something, so I've kept you waiting. It's his own problem, and Lin Zheng won't run away from it, and he took the initiative to apologize.
"It's okay, it's still too late. ”
"yes, it's still early. ”
The other actors in the drama have basically been in the Ziyu Theater for several years, and they have long heard the rumors that the theater is going to praise Lin Zheng as a signature artist, so they naturally dare not easily offend Lin Zheng.
And putting this aside, if with the help of Lin Zheng, Ziyu Theater can really be promoted to a second-level theater, then for them, there will only be benefits and no harm, at least the treatment will rise a lot.
It didn't take long for Zhou Zijing to return to the No. 2 performance hall out of breath, holding a record crystal in his hand, he looked at everyone and said, "Temporary decision, there will be no rehearsal this afternoon." ”
"What's wrong?" Qin Guanyu asked.
Yu Xi also looked at Zhou Zijing with a surprised expression, and asked puzzledly: "Didn't you already arrange the rehearsal this afternoon, why should you suddenly pay attention?"
Zhou Zijing waved his hand, meaning that everyone should not be in a hurry, and then said: "Although there is no rehearsal today, the task is also very heavy. ”
"In the afternoon, we mainly want to shoot a few clips with recording crystals, and then put them in major restaurants for publicity. Zhou Zijing said.
Lin Zheng couldn't help but show a look of surprise when he heard this, he didn't expect Zhou Zijing to be able to think of such a place.
Indeed, if there is such publicity, the more people will know about this drama. And the drama is really good, shooting a few classic scenes can also attract more people to watch.
The only fly in the ointment is that recording crystals are consumables after all, and they are expensive, so it is impossible for Ziyu Theater to spend too many recording crystals to promote the drama.
"Everyone has made promotional videos before, the only one who has no experience is Xiaolin, I won't say much about the others, get ready, and I'll tell you which pictures to shoot for publicity later. ”
After Zhou Zijing finished speaking, he looked at Lin Zheng again and said, "Xiaolin, come over for a while, let me tell you about the precautions for shooting a promotional video." ”
"In fact, there is no difference between a promotional video and a normal drama, that is, a fragment is taken from the drama. However, the plot and lines lack the key points of connecting the previous and the next, so it is a test of your memory and line skills, do you have any problems in this regard?" asked Zhou Zijing.
Lin Zheng shook his head and said, "Brother Zhou, don't worry, I'm fine." ”
"Okay, then you try it first. Zhou Zijing nodded and said: "Let's play the opening of the third act, the first time, let's not open the recording crystal, you can find a feeling." ”
"Okay. Lin Zheng nodded again.
After hearing this, the relevant performers also stepped onto the stage one after another.
After Lin Zheng thought about the lines for a while, he calmed down and devoted himself to the drama.
"The actors are in place, the lights are in place...... because there is no Zhou Zijing in this scene, Zhou Zijing plays the role of "director" under the stage, and when he finishes speaking, the lights on the stage instantly turn on.
Everyone knew that the recording of the shooting flat began.
However, before Lin Zheng could start to say his lines, Zhou Zijing frowned and shouted: "The lighting stage is dark, this is a promotional video, not a normal performance, such a dim light, no!"
"Do it all over again!"
"It seems that Lao Zhou is really a strict person...... Lin Zheng thought silently in his heart, a talent like Zhou Zijing, if he is in the yang world, definitely has the potential to become a first-line director.
After solving the lighting problem, the shooting continued, but fortunately there were no problems this time, the actors' emotions were also in place, and Zhou Zijing under the stage also showed a satisfied look.
"It's the first time, yes, keep it up, and I'm going to open the record crystal. ”
"You don't have to feel pressure, just play as usual. ”
After Zhou Zijing finished speaking, he let everyone rest for a while, and then started shooting. In the afternoon, the entire rainstorm drama crew was in Hall 2, and Lin Zheng was the same.
It wasn't until it was dark that the filming ended, and the group was also tired and paralyzed, compared to the normal acting, in fact, it was more tiring to shoot the promotional video.
Just when Zhou Zijing led everyone to go to the theater canteen to have a good meal, a handyman ran to Hall 2 in a panic, and finally shouted loudly: "Oh no, no, the law enforcement team is here......"
"What are the people from the law enforcement team doing here?" Zhou Zijing asked with a frown.
As soon as his words fell, black and white impermanence had already appeared on the stage, and the two completely ignored the others, only stared at Lin Zheng and said, "Mr. Lin Zheng, you are suspected of tax evasion, please come with us." ”
