Chapter 278: Shooting Commercials
Zhuo Lin entertained them.
After making tea and giving candy, he smiled and asked, "Cui, a student studying film. Do you have any insights into the condescending counter-shoot advertisement?"
Cui Zijian took a sip of tea, and it tasted pretty good. Authentic Hokkien white tea. He cleared his throat and said, "I don't dare to say anything condescending. In fact, whether it is film, television, or advertising, they are all forms of artistic expression. And I think it's a great success to be able to shoot a short advertisement and spread it on the streets and alleys."
Zhuo Lin nodded with a smile and looked at Gu Kaiyan.
Gu Kaiyan said, "Zijian is right. The advertising industry in foreign countries has developed relatively maturely. There is still a vacancy in this part of the country. As a photographer, I don't want to miss out on this opportunity."
As he spoke, he picked up a candy in the crystal plate: "Xianyun card. With all due respect, are we going to shoot an advertisement for this brand?"
Zhuo Lin bowed his head and looked approvingly: "Not bad. Our company wants to promote the brand to the whole country. Therefore, the requirements for advertising are also relatively high. It's better to have a new idea that is memorable and effective in promoting your brand."
Cui Zijian immediately said, "Then you have to find a screenwriter." He recommended himself, "Coincidentally, I usually like to write scripts. But we have to decide on the duration and theme of the ad beforehand."
Zhuo Lin looked at them: "Can you give me a look at your previous works?"
Cui Zijian sighed: "It's a good conversation, why did you forget this stubble?"
He and Gu Kaiyan just collaborated on a short film a while ago. It's called "Xiangshan Love", and it's only fifteen minutes long. But the feelings of the male and female protagonists are quite delicate, and the plot is smooth. The boys and girls who grew up at the foot of the fragrant mountain have experienced a young love on campus. Many years later, they met again at the foot of Xiangshan. The story comes to an abrupt end. Although it is simple, the restrained feelings are extremely moving, and the scenery of the autumn leaves of Xiangshan is extremely beautiful.
After Zhuo Lin watched the video, he pondered for a moment and asked, "If this story was shortened to three minutes. Change the background and put our brand in it. Is it possible?"
Cui Zijian thought about it seriously for a while: "Three minutes of advertising, it's too long, right?"
Zhuo Lin smiled and asked, "What about the filming of the first and second episodes?"
Cui Zijian was stunned.
Gu Kaiyan secretly exclaimed: "The advertisement was made into a series. It's a big deal."
Zhuo Lin then worked with them to revise the script.
Of course, the background has to be moved to Xianyun Mountain, Fujian. When the male and female protagonists first appeared, they were twelve or thirteen-year-old young people in the mountain village, love was changed to friendship, and the heroine made money by planting strawberries to support her family. The male protagonist left his hometown after being admitted to college, and often misses the strawberries planted by the female protagonist.
One day, he occasionally ate the "Xianyun brand" strawberry gummies of his hometown brand, which touched his feelings, and returned to his hometown without hesitation.
Cui Zijian wrote the script so that his arms were straight and goosebumps were raised. Zhuo Lin is right, it's a pity that he didn't learn screenwriting.
After repeated streamlining and revisions of the script, Zhuo Lin finally nodded in approval.
Next, it is the question of the casting of the male and female protagonists.
It's not difficult, there are all kinds of beautiful girls and handsome guys in the film academy. But Cui Zijian introduced a few people, and Zhuo Lin couldn't look down on them. It's not that the male protagonist doesn't have that temperament, or that the female protagonist is not beautiful and simple enough.
Gu Kaiyan was speechless: The girls of the Capital Film Academy are still not satisfied, is he looking for Tianxian?
On this weekend, when the three of them were interviewing for the protagonist again, Ling Mei came back from school. When he entered the door, he happened to bump into Cui Zijian, who came out to do something, and he was stunned for a moment.
It took a while to react, and he flew forward in a few steps and asked excitedly, "Classmate, which department are you from?" You're also here to compete for the advertising heroine, right? Come with me, and I'll take you."
Ling Mei explained, "No. I live here."
Cui Zijian was stunned: "You live here?"
Ling Mei looked at him, "Director Cui, right? Mr. Zhuo mentioned you to me."
Cui Zijian suddenly understood.
No wonder Mr. Zhuo can't look down on this and that. With such a fairy-like person by his side, of course he can't look down on it.
"Classmate, what do you call it?"
——
After a while, Cui Zijian ran into the house and said to Zhuo Lin and Gu Kaiyan, "Sensei interviewed, Sensei interviewed. I've found Best Actress."
The two asked curiously, "Who?"
Cui Zijian smiled: "Xiao, Ling, Mei."
Zhuo Lin coughed heavily.
"Who is Xiao Lingmei?" Gu Kaiyan doesn't remember that there was a girl in the school with this name.
"Mr. Zhuo." Cui Zijian stared at him, "There is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get them. You told me that there is a natural heroine like Xiao Lingmei, and I don't have to think so much." He blinked his eyes and said, "I also found the male protagonist."
Zhuo Lin had a bad premonition: "Who?"
"You!" Cui Zijian smiled. "A perfect match!"
Zhuo Lin stroked his forehead.
After Gu Kaiyan saw Ling Mei herself, he agreed 100% with Cui Zijian's suggestion.
"I can't find a better actor than the two of you."
One is polite and handsome, and the other is a fairy with Zhong Lingyu.
The two of them are pleasing to the eye when they stand together.
When Ling Mei heard their request, her first reaction was to resist.
"I'm still a student. This commercial is going to be on TV again, and it's too public. Square peg. Mr. Zhuo, you can. You have a great appearance and temperament, and maybe you can even become an instant hit."
Zhuo Lin smiled and couldn't help hesitating.
Cui Zi was anxious: "You calculate the time. After the advertisement is filmed, it will be edited and then released, to say the least, it will take a month or two, right? If you miss the end of the year, your losses will be great."
Gu Kaiyan also advised them: "You can also save two actor fees." It's a good deal."
Zhuo Lin thought a little more: "Ling Mei. You are the founder of Xianyun Mountain Enterprise. If you shoot commercials yourself, the benefits to our company should be maximized."
Cui Gu and the others thought they had misheard: the founder of the company? Who? Xiao Lingmei?!
Ling Mei was still worried: "But I'm studying. It's not convenient to come and go."
"It's okay, it's okay. The plot of the two of you was filmed right in the capital. Just edit it together afterwards." Cui Zijian hammered the final word. "So it was decided."
Ling Mei was driven into battle, took the script and studied it with Zhuo Lin.
The thought of filming an emotional scene with Zhuo Lin inevitably embarrassed Mei. Zhuo Lin comforted her: "You can just imagine me as your little bamboo horse."
When Ling Mei thought of Jun Xiao, her heart was sour and sweet.
Jun Xiao has been studying in the United States since he went to study, and his letters have not been broken. I also bring her some small gifts from time to time. A lip balm, a skin cream, and pretty little jewelry. Of course, the books he sent the most were books on agriculture and forestry.
Ling Mei couldn't help but think away: If he was in the capital, he would be the male protagonist of this advertisement.
Gu Kaiyan quickly borrowed a studio and a camera. The two picked an auspicious day and officially started filming.
Ling Mei changed into a blue cotton gown, her long hair was combed into two braids and hung down on her shoulders, and her beautiful face was slightly powdered, which already made people marvel at her natural beauty.
As an adult, Mei has long hair and a shawl, and she is wearing a strawberry red dress, and she suddenly looks back after hearing the male protagonist's call.
Gu Kaiyan, who was holding a camera, was pounding in his heart, and his palms were hot: close-up, it must be a big close-up! You can't waste such a beautiful face!
The plot of the heroine was filmed in only two days. The male protagonist has more scenes, and he will be OVER in three days.
After the filming was successfully completed, Ling Mei changed her clothes and Zhuo Lin just walked out of the studio, and someone came in front of her.
"Hello two."
The two were slightly stunned. The strange woman in front of her has a bumpy figure, her dyed yellow hair is permed into big waves, and she has a goose egg face, which is very standard.
