Chapter XVI Signatures
In the entire Chinese film and television circle, the influence of Hairun and Tang is undoubted, especially in the TV drama industry, which is the leader of modern dramas and costume dramas in the industry.
If it was two years ago, when he just came out of school, even if it was a standard newcomer contract or even if it was a little harsh, Lu Yan would not have the slightest hesitation.
Backed by a strong large company, there are always more opportunities to get ahead than to go it alone.
The position determines the head, it is applicable everywhere, the current situation can be said to be different from the past, he is a hot young student and a popular actor in the mainland, the most critical point is that he has not signed an endorsement before this.
Public figures endorse brands, to put it mildly, and serve as image ambassadors, which is the general trend of the advertising industry in recent years.
On the other hand, the cost of endorsement and commercial performance is the main source of income for artists, and the main source of income for singers is to sell records, but because of the popularity of the Internet, the record industry is getting worse, and the release of new records, it is a very dazzling achievement to sell forty or fifty thousand copies, and concerts are only the treatment of singers with a certain fan base, and the artist's usual expenses are very large, food, clothing, housing, transportation, eating, drinking, and Lazar, and there are more places to use money than other professions, just like Lu Yan before, although he is not famous, but the round-trip air tickets, Tickets are a big expense, in terms of input, actors are better than singers, because they are paid, they will not reach the point where they can't live without commercial performances or endorsements, but if they want to live a better life, they simply rely on filming and making records, if they are not pure first-line artists, the high salary is outrageous or the records can be sold every time, or they have a rich family background, and choosing to be an artist itself is a matter of interest, even if they are as introverted as Wu Jian, they have also received a lot of endorsements when they are popular, between personality and life, There isn't much of a choice.
Therefore, for artists, no matter how many brands they endorse, it will not be too much, because each endorsement can be converted into the most intuitive income.
Different angles will have different ideas, and from the perspective of the position of the business, the situation is just the opposite, they prefer artists who are popular and do not have endorsements on them.
There is a quite vivid saying in the industry, artists receive endorsements, just like women getting married, first marriage, second marriage, or even third marriage and fourth marriage, whether it is a "dowry" or a variety of formal etiquette in all aspects, there will be a lot of differences, that is, "one woman marries multiple husbands".
At the beginning of filming, most of the crew knew that the male number one of the crew was called Lu Yan, who was a little famous in the circle, and he couldn't say that he was popular, but when the media paid attention to it and the crew gave him a car, most people realized that Lu Yan was going to be popular, but because the crew was relatively closed, how popular was he going to be and how long could he be popular? Everything is still unknown.
When Li Lifei sat outside the set and waited together, even if he was not very sensitive to this aspect or was immersed in his work on weekdays, he also noticed that Lu Yan was really different.
To be able to make the company to the point of Hairun and Tangren, even if in hindsight may have made unreasonable or even quite stupid decisions in a certain period of time in the past, even if the company's decision-makers can not be described with lofty vision, they will never do things to kill chickens and take eggs, and it is one thing to grab profits from him, and it is an indispensable part to invest money in continuous publicity and packaging.
Therefore, in terms of the specific attitude towards him, whether it is the leader of the crew or the actors he cooperates with on weekdays, there have been unclear but real changes intentionally or unintentionally.
Where there are people, circles and clear and strict hierarchies will be formed, and before that, most people were very polite to Lu Yan, because he was Chen Baoguo's apprentice, and he didn't look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha.
But now, in addition to politeness, it is mixed with a bit of deference or flattery.
Lu Yan is very familiar with the eyes of others in the crew, and he also had a similar mood with Hou Yong during the filming of "The Great Dyeing Workshop" and Jiang Yu in "The Last Imperial Princess".
"Do you want to rest?" After taking a few shots, Zhang Zien squinted his eyes, smacked the rivalry between Lu Yan and Wu Jian for a while, raised his head, and saw that Lu Yan was slightly sweating on his forehead, and was stunned, before he asked with a smile.
Lu Yan also responded with a slight smile: "Hehe, thank you director, I just ran for a while, and my body is still warm, so I can take advantage of it to shoot a few more." ”
Zhang Zien's change in attitude towards him seemed natural to outsiders, he first asked assistant directors Huang Feng and Yin Xiaohui to be the mouthpieces, indirectly expressing goodwill, and in the process, he also saw the expected response from Lu Yan.
After more than ten days of foreshadowing, the relationship between Lu Yan and Zhang Zien feels more like the process of two people from strangeness to familiarity, as for what the real situation is, only Lu Yan and Zhang Zien, who were people at that time, know in their hearts.
Zhang Zien nodded, and said to Qi Zhizhi, the makeup assistant on the side: "Xiao Qi, hurry up, make up the makeup, let's just follow what Lu Yan said, strike while the iron is hot, if the location scene is filmed in advance, on New Year's Day, I will take everyone on a half-day holiday." ”
"Okay" Qi Zhizhi was already waiting aside, but Zhang Zien didn't speak just now, she didn't know whether to continue filming, so she didn't go up.
The actor's makeup, there are not many people who want Chen Hongling to get started in person, usually a few assistants are busy with makeup on the set, Qi Zhizhi is very short, has a round face, and doesn't like to talk much, but no matter who she is, she maintains a kind smile, she is usually responsible for the makeup of Lu Yan, Zhao Wei and Qiu Qiwen, but she had a quarrel with Qiu Qiwen two days ago, and now Qiu Qiwen has changed to another makeup assistant.
"I'm sorry for you" Lu Yan sat down, she was short, if he was standing, she couldn't reach his face.
She shook her head with a smile, revealing her two iconic front teeth, and said, "Hehe, you're welcome," paused for half a second, and then continued: Your skin is so good. ”
Lu Yan knew that she didn't like to talk much, except for a few people in the makeup team, she basically didn't have much communication with other people, and she got along with the two crews, and even if she usually spoke, it was just a simple communication at work, so she was a little surprised, and because he didn't like to talk about his face very much, he didn't answer her words.
Lu Yan finished making up her makeup, Wu Jian also cleaned up, and he was about to get up to film, Qi Zhizhi suddenly took out a notebook with a pink cover from her bag, looked around and said, "That... Can you sign it for me? ”
Perhaps thinking that this was abrupt, she explained with a slightly embarrassed face: "A friend of mine likes you very much, and I have to ask you to sign it, that... If you find it troublesome, I can wait. ”
Lu Yan was stunned, looked at the other party's flushed cheeks, and said with a smile: "Heh, what's the trouble, by the way, did you bring a pen", took the signature pen she handed over, and said while trying his best to write his name on the title page neatly: "It's the first time I've signed someone, and it's really honorable for me to say it." ”
