Five cameras, tens of thousands of dollars of film, just to shoot an advertisement, which is enough luxury in 20 years. The reason why Wang Zijun wants to shoot instant noodle advertisements so complicated is not only to enhance the publicity effect, but also to find someone to practice his skills.

If he wants to build a film studio, he has to have a few people who can use it well.

Lai Chengying's Golden Horse Award photography doesn't have to think about it, it's not something that Wang Zijun can control, so he retreated to the next best thing, so he found Lai Chengying's nephew Chen Kunhou to come over.

Chen Kunhou is in his early thirties and has been working as an assistant cameraman for many years, and only this year did he start mastering the lens on his own. Since the last time he filmed "Caiyun Fei" and Wang Zijun had an exchange about photography, he went back to continue to explore and gained a lot. This time, as soon as Wang Zijun asked him to shoot something, he immediately agreed without even asking the price.

The filming venue Wang Zijun has long been rented, and it is on the set of Cathay Pacific Company. Cathay Pacific is now in a state of semi-bankruptcy, with a large number of staff waiting to eat, whether it is a technician or an actor, whose salaries are extremely cheap.

When Chen Kunhou came to the set, he helped Wang Zijun find a few photographers and gaffers, all of whom he thought were good peers. These people are either depressed, or they have no job because Cathay Pacific is facing bankruptcy, anyway, they are very miserable, and when they hear Chen Kunhou say that they have work, they immediately rush to the market.

"This is Zhang Feng, this is Liu Duyang......" Chen Kunhou introduced the people he brought one by one.

Wang Zijun took a look and found that none of them had an impression of him.

Those people were mixed in the entertainment industry, and they recognized Wang Zijun at a glance. Among them, Zhang Feng, a photographer about forty years old and with a beard, asked Chen Kunhou: "What about the director?" What kind of film? ”

"I'm the director." Wang Zijun said with a smile, "I invited everyone to come, mainly to shoot a TV commercial." ”

"What a joke!" Everyone was in an uproar, they just thought that Wang Zijun was an actor.

What does advertising look like at this time? For example, the advertisement for the washing machine is basically a housewife holding the washing machine in her hand and saying: "xxx brand washing machine, the housewife's favorite!" ”

This kind of professional photographer looks down on it at all, and thinks that as long as it is a person, it can be photographed, and there is no technical content.

"Chen Kunhou, are you making fun of us? Shoot an ad and call so many people, neurotic! A photographer said and patted his ass and left.

Wang Zijun didn't go to keep him, and said to the remaining people: "100 yuan a day, if you want to leave, you can leave." ”

The current ordinary salary is only more than ten yuan, and 100 yuan is sky-high for this group of "artists" who have no jobs. Even those who are high-ranking have stayed in the mood of mixed wages.

"Do any of you know an action actor, it's the kind of stuntman who can make two gestures in front of the camera." Wang Zijun asked the remaining people.

"Do you need a stand-in for commercials?" Liu Duyang, who was wearing a pair of glasses, said strangely.

Wang Zijun said mysteriously: "Everyone will know when the time comes." ”

These people are all familiar with the set, and soon attracted more than a dozen actors, Wang Zijun saw one of them, and immediately smiled - it was Ke Shouliang.

"Hello!" Wang Zijun greeted him.

Ke Shouliang has a special impression of Wang Zijun, mainly because he made a small profit by reselling Wang Zijun's posters and concert tickets.

Wang Zijun asked these tricks again: "If you can dance with guns and sticks, please raise your hand." ”

Of the more than a dozen people, three raised their hands.

"If you've ever been a martial arts stand-in, please raise your hand." Wang Zijun said again.

Five more people raised their hands, including Ke Shouliang.

"Very good, the three of you will play villains No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 for a while, and the five of you will play a little less than them, and the others will play ordinary people, pretending to be injured and pretending to be dead." Wang Zijun said and handed out advertising scripts.

When everyone was reading the script, the makeup artist and field staff invited by Wang Zijun also arrived.

A large number of ronin costumes and katanas were brought over, and the photographers and gaffers were dumbfounded: Is this an advertisement?

Chen Kunhou is holding a storyboard script, and the general content is that Huo Yuanjia punches the crowd and calls it this ronin. There is almost no plot to speak of, that is, Huo Yuanjia went to Yue himself's dojo with a signboard of "The Sick Man of East Asia" to smash it, and then beat Yue himself up. However, there is also a description of the use of the lens, including camera position, angle, lighting, and shooting frequency...... The list goes on and on, and it's outrageously detailed.

Just when the scene began to set up and the actors put on makeup, Wang Zijun said: "These shooting ideas are just an idea of mine, and it is impossible to be perfect, so let's discuss it together when the time comes." ”

After getting the script, no one despises Wang Zijun anymore, and they are all thinking about what Wang Zijun wrote.

Wang Zijun also changed into a long shirt and began to talk to the actors, and each of each action was explained in detail.

Martial arts instruction is still in the exploration stage in Hong Kong, and it is even more scarce in Taiwan. For the various actions designed by Wang Zijun, most of these actors are a little embarrassed and feel that this is too much. Ke Shouliang and another young man named Ji Shaogang were very interested, and kept asking Wang Zijun all kinds of questions.

In fact, Wang Zijun is also half a bottle of water for photography and martial arts, but he has seen a lot of filming in his previous life, and he is determined to be a director, so he usually pays more attention to it, and occasionally asks professionals for advice, so it is still a piece of cake to bluff people decades ago.

The only problem is that these actors don't know karate or karate, and some people haven't even seen it at all, so it's difficult to perform the taste of Samurai. Wang Zijun had to make corrections again and again, and performed himself to let them imitate.

I saw a group of people holding katanas charging towards Wang Zijun, Wang Zijun suddenly jumped up with a loud shout, and directly kicked several people away with the help of coercion volleys three consecutive kicks.

“cut！” Chen Kunhou, who is a part-time assistant director, pointed at one of them and shouted, "Who is who, what are you doing, you flew out before you kicked it." ”

The man was dissatisfied: "I used to act like this, why not?" Besides, he kicked so hard, what if he got hurt? ”

"Don't worry, I'm measured." Wang Zijun explained that he kicked people far away, which seemed terrifying, and his strength had already been unloaded.

"That's it," Ke Shouliang patted the dust on his ass and got up from the ground, "I was kicked away, but the place where I was kicked didn't hurt at all, it just hurt from my butt." ”

"Come again!" Wang Zijun clapped his hands and said.

Everyone finally saw Wang Zijun's harshness, and he couldn't tolerate the slightest flaw, so he had to reshoot. And sometimes, for the sake of the smoothness of the picture, the whole group of shots is reshot together, and the film is so wasted that even the photographer feels painful. After a few minutes of advertising, they actually filmed for nearly a day, and countless times with N cameras, and they all vomited the cameraman and actors.

During this time, Wang Zijun has been observing everyone's performance and looking for talent for the film studio he will soon establish. Needless to say, Chen Kunhou naturally has photographers Zhang Feng and Liu Duyang, the lighting is Zang Qinglan, and the actors Ke Shouliang and Ji Shaogang are relatively good, and everyone else is embarrassed.

After the filming was finished, Wang Zijun took the money to settle the bill and let these guys leave, saying that all the filming had been completed. However, Chen Kunhou, Zhang Feng, Liu Duyang, Ke Shouliang, and Ji Shaogang were left behind, and they were invited to eat in a hotel near the set.

After drinking the wine, Wang Zijun was already familiar with several people, and Zhang Feng couldn't help asking: "We filmed for a day today, really just to shoot an advertisement?" ”

Chen Kunhou said: "I guess Zijun experimented with his camera concept by shooting commercials, anyway, I benefited a lot today." ”

Zang Qinglan said: "The picture is absolutely perfect when it comes out like this. ”

Liu Duyang said: "Perfect is perfect, if you make a movie like this, it is estimated that it will go bankrupt before the filming is finished." ”

"That's right." Chen Kunhou said regretfully. Today he was dazzled, like a high school rotation shot, a super slow-motion effect, which shocked him for a moment.

Wang Zijun laughed and said: "It's cheaper than I expected, and the film cost today is less than 5,000 yuan." ”

Several people rolled their eyes when they heard this.

After eating, Wang Zijun stopped Ke Shouliang and Ji Shaogang: "I want to make a movie recently, are you interested?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes." The two heard Wang Zijun specifically tell them that it was naturally impossible to be a dragon role, which made them happy all the time as stuntmen actors.

"Then it's decided, I'll contact you when the time comes." Wang Zijun said.

In order to act, Ke Shouliang and Ji Shaogang both lived in rented houses near the studio. When the two young men returned, they were so excited that they couldn't sleep.

Ji Shaogang asked: "What do you say he will let us play, will it be the starring role?" ”

Ke Shouliang struck and said: "You are so beautiful, I will be satisfied if I can have a few lines." What do you think, with the level of Wang Zijun's performance today, coupled with his fame, the things that are photographed will be a big hit. If we can show our faces in it, or even have lines, we will have more opportunities to take on the scene in the future. ”

"yes." Ji Shaogang also figured it out when he heard it, turned over and got up, and began to practice acting skills by himself in front of the mirror.

The advertisement had not yet been filmed, and the next day Wang Zijun only invited Chen Kunzhong to come over and went straight to the kitchen of the Regal Hotel.

The kitchen has been renovated and a handsome chef is brought in, dressed in a clean and tidy chef's suit. Then let Chen Kunzhong keep filming the chef's ramen, the shot below, and finally bring a bowl of soaked instant noodles, drizzled with beef juice on top.

Wang Zijun was wearing a long gown, eating noodles over and over again, with hot air on his head and a delicious expression on his face.

"I really don't understand you, it's really an advertisement." Chen Kun saw Wang Zijun wearing a long shirt and eating noodles again, so he connected the content of yesterday's shooting with today's shooting.

Wang Zijun said with a smile: "You will know if you stare at the TV in a few days." ”

Seeing that Wang Zijun said mysteriously, Chen Kunzhong was really curious.
