CHAPTER XVII
After I arrived in Shanghai, I drank high for the second time. I'm just a little later in my sensitivity to alcohol than normal people, but I'm still drunk, and of course these things are not visible to others. This time, Gao Xiang sent me home, but this time I was really tall, and my mind was still very clear, but my limbs and tongue did not obey me.
Gao Xiang threw me on the sofa again, sat down and gasped, "Silly girl, what are you doing so hard?" ”
Hearing his words, I smiled, "Boss, help me collect the money...... Haven't you put it away? "At this time, I was still thinking about the 39,312 yuan and three cents that I won by gambling on wine.
Gao Xiang smiled, I couldn't take my eyes away, but I knew he smiled and patted my head, "You didn't drink too much?" ”
"I'm not drunk, but I'm drinking too much." I raised my hand and touched it on the coffee table, but I only knocked over one teacup and didn't touch anything else.
A cool teacup was placed on my lips, and it was a cold liquid that touched my lips, and I didn't have time to think about it, so I opened my mouth and drank it, the cold liquid slid down the hot internal organs, and I felt much more comfortable.
"Go to bed! It's so uncomfortable to sleep here. Gao Xiang pulled me up, dragged me to the room, put me down on the bed, helped me take off my coat and socks, and covered me with the quilt.
"Sleep! When you wake up, you'll be fine. He patted me on the cheek and whispered softly in my ear.
So I fell into a deep sleep with peace of mind, not even dreaming.
Because of the overtime during the Spring Festival, the company approved my one-week vacation in the first month, and I arranged the vacation to about fifteen, so I wanted to accompany my parents at home and have a good holiday together.
However, before I could get home and get a foothold, the company turned on the phone, and Yang said that he had won a few places to study in the Japanese headquarters, and he was planning for Valentine's Day, and the strategy department dispatched the famous master Kuji and asked me if I wanted to go.
Such a good opportunity is difficult to encounter again, and I don't blame my parents for complaining, I kissed them the face, and the next day I flew straight to Hokkaido with my passport to report for duty.
Hisaharu Harada is a well-known planner in the advertising industry, and he is responsible for one-third of the planning in Japan. But this person has a very strange temper and is also very hot, and there are very few people who can work with the whole project. This is my first day in Hokkaido, and Inoue Senpai told me.
Mr. Inoue took care of me during my interview, and he helped me during my internship at the Japan headquarters, which made me trust him a lot. This time, he is the leader of the planning team, and he can be regarded as half of my top boss.
Hokkaido was very cold this season, and the temperature was a little lower than that in Tohoku, but when I came, my mother filled my backpack with a lot of thick clothes, so I was able to handle it. The place of residence is in a hot spring homestay, living in a Japanese-style room, no bed, sleeping is not customary, but it is very warm, and the quilt has the smell of sunshine.
In the evening, after I soaked in the hot springs, I turned on my computer, did my homework, and read the project materials sent to me by Inoue's seniors. Master Kuji's planning is very good, the professional advertising four-grid diagram, the content he wants to show is clearly expressed, and the plan also notes some details, which I have never seen, although I am a layman in this area, but I can also see it very clearly.
"That's amazing!" I couldn't help but sigh at his creativity, this time it was for chocolate - Valentine's Day to do a promotional program, the content of an angel fell in love with a mortal, but in the end they couldn't be together, when the angel left, he left his heart, turned into chocolate, and gave it to his beloved on Valentine's Day, hoping that in this way, he could be with him forever.
There is always a market for poignant love stories, this is the law of the ages. But the time is very tight, the shooting time is only three days, and it is necessary to insert the report a week before Valentine's Day, after all, this is different from what we usually see, and what we seize is a business opportunity, otherwise we will miss the time point, and all the efforts will be in vain. Because of this, my whole body felt nervous.
At four o'clock the next day, I was called up, I was going to the top of the mountain today to shoot the snow scene, and I had to reach the top of the mountain before the sun rose. Because I was in a hurry, when I was in the car, Inoue gave a brief introduction to me and everyone, and there were three people who came to study at the same time, the other two were girls from the planning department of the Beijing branch, and one was a newcomer to the strategy department of the Japanese headquarters, Sasaki.
It's just a few of us, and we quickly got acquainted. The rest of the staff also got to know each other, but unfortunately Master Kuji was not in the car, and I heard that he went up the mountain last night and waited there directly, so we didn't see this legend. There was a car behind us, and I heard that the actors of the commercial were sitting in it.
"Ah~ When will I be able to play an advertisement!" Zhu Xiaoxue said that she is a native of Baoding, and in the strategy department of the Beijing branch, she is a newcomer in the same period as me.
"Don't dream, just your head, you still want to shoot commercials?" Yang Ping interrupted her daydream, Zhu Xiaoxue is a northerner, but she looks more petite than a southerner, only 1.53 meters tall, but she is very beautiful.
"Aren't Japanese people tall? I'm a standard size here. Zhu Xiaoxue said in Chinese, and looked around as she spoke.
I shook my head as the car swung and closed my eyes, it was about an hour's drive to the top of the mountain, and I had better rest for a while.
By the time the car stopped, I had just come to my senses, and the top of the mountain had already arrived. The sun hadn't risen yet, but there were already a lot of staff members coming up, and the set was all set up.
"Kuji, come here." Inoue shouted at several dark shadows in front of him, and one of them walked over.
"Let me introduce, these are newcomers who have come to study, and the three girls are all from the Chinese branch." Inoue introduced us, "This is Kuji Harada, you can call Harada-sensei." ”
When I got closer, I realized that the legendary Kuji Harada was almost forty years old, his hair was not long, but it was very messy, a little curly, and his face was extremely arrogant, even a little evil, I don't know if anyone who is engaged in creation is like this. But to be honest, I don't like him like this, a bit like the legendary angry youth.
"Didn't I say I didn't bring any new people? What trouble are you giving me, looking at their appearance, they can't endure hardship at all, so send me away quickly. "Sure enough, I don't think I'm wrong, as soon as Harada opened his mouth, he had a mouthful of * taste.
Inoue senpai pulled Harada aside and said a lot of good things, and Harada finally agreed to let us stay, but we could only watch from the sidelines, fight and leave, if we got into any trouble. In this way, we kind of stayed, were divided into different groups, and were assigned some work.
I was assigned to the props team to help the No. 1 prop master, I guess Harada did it on purpose, and asked me to do this job that only men in Japan do, the purpose is to make us retreat, Zhu Xiaoxue was assigned to the costume group, and ran around with clothes longer than her, Yang Ping and the male staff became the actors' nannies, and they ran non-stop for a while.
"Xia, you'll be blowing snowflakes here for a while, got it?" The prop master told me, "When the master says to start, you turn on the fan, and then pull down the cloth bag with the snow, and let the snowflakes inside be blown into the sky. The speed of the fan can control the size of the snowflakes, but be careful, when the fan rotates, the snow will also fly to you, it is best to wrap your face and wear goggles, so as to play a protective role. He said and gave me a tryout.
I memorized everything he said, divided the scarf around my neck to cover the part below my eyes, put on goggles, hat, turned on the fan, and tried it with the prop master a few times, I felt that I could get started, and the prop master left.
After a while, the shooting began, and an "angel" wearing only white gauze, barefoot, shivering from the cold, came on the stage. I didn't use snowflakes to shoot the scene before sunrise, so I jumped down and stood by and watched. There was music playing in the snow, angels dancing, their faces were frozen red, and when they gasped, it was all white mist.
"Nope." Harada stood up, "The panting white mist has blurred the picture, start over." ”
But the white fog phenomenon still exists, and it can't come down a few times, so Harada also stood up, "Don't breathe yet, bear with it for a while." ”
The "angels" were about to cry, and their breathing stopped when they danced, and finally there was no white fog, and after several shots, they finally met Harada's requirements, and everyone stopped.
Next is the dance in the snow, I stood on a platform more than three meters high and blew snowflakes down, seeing the girl who played the angel trembling, I really couldn't bear it, although fame and prestige are important, but the sacrifice is too great.
"Hey! Didn't the one who made the snowflakes eat in the morning? Why don't you have any strength at all! "I was holding a snow bag in one hand and a fan in the other, which was really difficult, and if I wasn't careful, I was scolded by Kuji Harada.
"Snowflakes, if they are bigger, they will feel like heavy snow." Kuji picked up the microphone and shouted.
Not only did I have to increase the snowflakes, but I also had to endure the cold feeling of the snow blowing back from the fan.
"No, no, no." Master Kuji stood up, "It doesn't feel right. I want the feeling that the snowflakes are going to fly at first, then they are going to get bigger and bigger, and finally they become a violent snowstorm. Do it all over again. ”
This time I did as he said, starting with a small wind and snow, then increasing the fan and making the snow bag bigger, and finally almost completely toppling the snow bag and letting the fan blow wildly and create a blizzard. It took nine bags of snow for Harada to be satisfied, and he changed the strip. The prop master came to help me clean up my things, and asked me if I was tired and my arms were almost gone, but I shook my head and shook my arms to see what was going on for them. I'm here to learn, and I can't let up at all.
