Entering 2013, the weather in Dalian is still very cold, and the daytime is often about minus 10 degrees.

The entire crew members of "Dalian by the Sea" are gritting their teeth and insisting, the big guys understand the current situation and want to complete the filming work on the set as soon as possible and efficiently.

On this morning, the cold wind was howling, ice slag was flying in the air, everyone shrunk into a ball, not daring to be careless, let alone mouth, nose and ears, like they didn't want to show their eyes, and many people wore goggles.

Outside the set of "Dalian by the Sea", hundreds of young girls still gathered.

These girls come from all over the country, they are all fans of EXO, and most of them are still in school, and they come here just to see their idols.

There are more followers today than the other day.

At about nine o'clock, the actors' bus came, and four people got off the bus in turn.

Lu Han, Sign, Taozi, and Zhang Yixing, the four EXO Huaxia members, all came over.

The four of them collectively faced the fans for the first time, and then waved their hands in unison.

"Ahh Yes! Yes! ”

The fans immediately screamed like chicken blood.

The cold wind could not stop their cries.

Seeing this, he squinted his eyes, wanting to see the appearance of the fans on the other side and see if he could find a few beautiful girls.

However, the wind and snow were too big, his eyesight was not very good, he couldn't see clearly, and he couldn't choose beautiful fans, so he could only withdraw his gaze, and then follow the others into the set.

Before, SM Company wanted to recommend the sign to Li Shengyao, but Li Shengyao refused, and Li Shengyao chose Lu Han.

Then Lu Han almost stopped team activities and devoted himself to preparing "Dalian by the Sea" in Dalian, which made the other EXO team members envious.

The sign is even more so, he still thinks that he has no chance with "Dalian by the Sea".

However, "Sight and Sound" and "Cinema Handbook" both named "Parasite" the best film of 2012.

Lee Shengyao is not only in the mainland, but also in the peninsula, and many actors and directors in Zhongmuro have touted Lee Shengyao.

This gave SM a new idea, and they felt that they could recommend Sign, Taozi, and Zhang Yixing to Li Shengyao, and let these three people follow Lu Han to act in "Dalian by the Sea".

In this way, it can better reflect EXO's forced style and better hype.

In "Dalian by the Sea", Lu Han plays the role of the second male lead, a member of the school football team, and several scenes portraying teammates.

SM Company has taken a fancy to these shots.

Among them, Taozi's acting skills are even worse, only appearing in one shot, that is, Lu Han playing football on the court, and several of his teammates showed their faces, for a total of only five seconds.

And Zhang Yixing has a little more shots, the father of the second male died, and on the first night, two friends, a man, two women, and two friends went to his house and accompanied him through the first night of his father's death.

Zhang Yixing plays this "male friend", with a slightly more camera, with two lines, which can appear for about a minute.

In this way, several people came to the crew of "Dalian by the Sea".

The more people they came, the more fans they naturally came to support them.

Although the sign didn't see the beautiful girl, she was very proud when she heard the shouts of the fans.

Taozi and Zhang Yixing are relatively more low-key and humble.

The sign looked in his eyes and pouted disdainfully.

Li Shengyao agreed to the cooperation of SM Company this time because the three of Sign, Taozi, and Zhang Yixing really brought capital into the group.

Three people, three characters, one million.

SM said that several of them wanted to follow Lee Shengyao's progress.

In addition to money, Li Shengyao also asked them to practice football in their spare time, so that Zhang Yixing could ponder those two lines.

Under such circumstances, Li Shengyao reluctantly agreed.

Taozi and Zhang Yixing both felt that this matter was not glorious, so they were more restrained.

He didn't take the sign to heart, he felt that the entertainment industry was like this, it was normal to bring money into the group, and he hoped that more people would see him, and more film and television companies would see him.

After a while, the four of them came to the set and saw Li Shengyao, who had come over a long time ago, and Zhang Songwen.

The four of them immediately went over to say hello.

Try to squeeze out a smile and make yourself look genuine.

Li Shengyao chose Lu Han at the beginning, and then gave the role with lines to Zhang Yixing, and the sign was really unconvinced.

However, he didn't dare to question Director Li, he only hoped that Director Li could see his advantages, and if there was a corresponding role in the future, he would keep it for himself, not the two dwarfs.

Li Shengyao explained a few words, and then asked the four of them to prepare.

The four of them went to put on makeup, he sat in the dressing room, and through the gap in the curtain, he saw Li Shengyao standing outside and walking around, just like a nervous disorder.

What's going on?

The sign was puzzled and at a loss.

After putting on makeup, the four of them got together, and Lu Han explained that Li Shengyao was in a position, and said that Li Shengyao arrived on the set early every day and had to move in advance.

Hearing this, the sign shrank his neck, walking around on such a cold day, it was not an easy task.

He was very surprised, they are all international directors, do they still have to fight so hard?

Acting is not very easy, there are hand substitutes, foot substitutes, martial arts substitutes, do you have stand-ins for everything?

The director is more relaxed, just sit behind the monitor.

Li Shengyao: What is this for?

Not long after, Li Shengyao waved his hand to let the four of them pass, and then took the four of them to move, not only Lu Han's position, but also the position, orientation, and expression of the three people, Li Shengyao explained.

Signage thought it was quite simple, and when he followed it a few times, and then rehearsed, he noticed the position of the camera, and then realized that the direction of the four of them could ensure that all four of them showed their faces.

Although except for Lu Han, no one else has lines.

However, he was still a little excited to think that he could show his face in the movie.

The plot of this drama is simple, that is, the father of the second male is dead, he is training, and someone comes to inform him.

Rehearsals ended quickly, and filming began.

Signage soon found out that something was wrong, although he had studied acting at SM, but the content of the teacher's lecture had already entered the left ear and left ear and left ear out.

He can't even show the most basic expressions now, and he feels very awkward.

Li Shengyao let the three of them be normal, just like they usually look like when they exercise, and he doesn't know what he usually looks like.

He usually likes to be cool, with a cold face and a high head when he plays basketball, can he do that now?

The sign hesitated in his heart, and on the outside, he was very stiff.

Li Shengyao then walked over and explained to the sign, Taozi, and Zhang Yixing again.

Seeing that the other two people were performing just as badly, he was a little relieved, he didn't dare to underestimate the performance anymore, listened carefully to Li Shengyao's words, and then performed seriously according to Li Shengyao's request.

This scene has no difficulty, because the three of them are "rookies", and it took a morning to shoot.

"Okay, pass."

Li Shengyao gave a thumbs up, and when he heard the words, he couldn't help wiping the sweat from his forehead.

He felt that it was not easy to perform, and Li Shengyao was too demanding, and the three of them were required to make correct expressions, which was really difficult.

Zhang Yixing said in a low voice at this time: "Director Li is worthy of being an international director, and I feel a lot better when I play him." ”

When he heard this, he couldn't help but roll his eyes, he felt that Zhang Yixing was patting on the back.

However, thinking of Li Shengyao's status, he couldn't help but think, "Should I buy a copy of "Actor's Self-cultivation", with Li Shengyao's high requirements, if I have such acting skills, I am afraid that I will not be able to play an important role in my life." ”

……

Zhang Yixing's acting was still relatively wooden at this time, in Li Shengyao's previous life, Zhang Yixing cooperated with the men's gang, led by Sun Honglei and Huang Bo, and then gradually opened up.

The afternoon play was simple, but it still took three hours to complete.

Li Shengyao had expected it, and he didn't say much about the 3 million sponsorship, and praised Zhang Yixing with a smile for his acting talent.

After work, the actors leave first, and the field workers and assistant directors leave last.

Li Shengyao did not take the crew bus, he took two assistants and got into a car and went to the Shangri-La Hotel in Dalian.

If I have an appointment tonight, I won't eat at the crew hotel.

Soon after, they arrived at the Shangri-La Hotel, where the temperature was even lower, and the cold wind was like a shrew, and the sound was terrible.

The pedestrians on both sides of the street all craned their necks, and each one was three centimeters shorter than usual.

Even the lights of the street lights have tightened their hands and feet, and they are a little dimmer than usual.

At the gate of the hotel, there were several dwarfs in suits and leather shoes, waiting for Li Shengyao.

The leader of the dwarf is called Tanashita Tojiro, who is the manager of the marketing department of the Greater China District of the island country of Okamoto.

"Sight & Sound" and "Cinema Manual" both listed "Parasite" as the No. 1 film of the year in 2012.

This has made more companies pay attention to Lee Shengyao's new film.

Although he announced that he was preparing three new movies at the same time, he still did not discourage the company from wanting to cooperate with him and rub off on the popularity of his films.

Among them, there are not only a lot of clothing, electronic brands have found Li Shengyao, but also several small umbrella brands want to carry out advertising placement in "Dalian by the Sea".

The second male lead in "Dalian by the Sea" has a plot with his girlfriend, which flashes by, but he can advertise a small umbrella.

Li Shengyao is not Mr. Morality, since people are willing to pay, he will not be polite.

So here he is.

"Li Jun, hard work, please come with me, we have prepared a table of delicious food."

Tanashita Tojiro was very happy when he saw Li Shengyao, and quickly stepped forward to greet him, and then led Li Shengyao towards the restaurant box.

Soon after, the group arrived at the restaurant box and began to eat and drink.

Many people think that Chinese people like to talk about business at the wine table, in fact, the island country and the peninsula people like it the same, and the businessmen of these two countries are not happy to talk at the wine table.

The food prepared by Jiro Tanashita is not bad, he should have investigated Li Shengyao and knew that Li Shengyao's preferences were all dishes that Li Dadao liked to eat.

Forty minutes later, after dinner, the waiter quickly cleaned up the table and served melons and fruits.

Tanashita Tojiro waited for the waiter to leave, pondered for a moment, and then said: "Li Jun, we are looking for you once, in order to carry out advertising placement in "Dalian by the Sea", and I hope you will give us Okamoto this opportunity." ”

When Li Shengyao heard this, he smiled and did not answer.

Knowing the rules, Tojiro Tanashita immediately continued: "Our advertising sponsorship fee is 7 million yuan, and we can also choose a beautiful male artist to become the global spokesperson of our brand with a three-year contract. ”

The words fell, and Tanashita Tojiro lowered his head a little proudly.

This is how island countries do business, they like to inquire about the conditions of their competitors, and then according to the terms of their competitors, they raise the contracts on their side.

Tanashita Tojiro has already inquired clearly, and Jieshibang's sponsorship fee is also 7 million, but the global spokesperson given by Jieshibang is designated as Hu Ge.

And Hu Ge is just right now, and he doesn't want to accept the small umbrella advertisement.

And they Okamoto will not be so greedy, as long as they are gorgeous male artists.

Anyway, it was to give Li Shengyao face, and Tanashita Tojiro felt that this was the attitude of cooperation.

He believed that Lee would not refuse.

In fact, for this cooperation, they prepared four conditions, but he didn't plan to pour them out all at once.

With such benefits, why should it be cheaper for Chinese people?

Li Shengyao heard the words of Tanashita Tojiro and frowned slightly, he immediately realized that the conditions of Jie Shibang were heard by Okamoto Tan.

He resented such behavior, after all, it was a trade secret.

He was silent for a moment, then shook his head, "Mr. Tanashita, your conditions are not enough. ”

"Not enough?"

Tanshita Tojiro didn't expect Li Shengyao to be unsatisfied, thought about it, and then slowly said the third condition, "Li Jun, I can also guarantee that our Okamoto will promote the release of "Dalian by the Sea" in the island country, and there will definitely be no trouble. ”

The island film market is relatively closed, even Hollywood blockbusters are not very popular, and only some animated films can sell high box office.

Even if "Dalian by the Sea" is released in an island country, there is no money.

Li Shengyao then shook his head, "It's not enough. ”

Tanashita Tojiro's eyes widened, "Li Jun, we have shown enough sincerity, as far as I know, the small umbrella brand, there is no such company, there are such rich conditions as ours." ”

Li Shengyao smiled, and then made up a reason, "What you said is right, but it's still not enough, my movies have always been more serious, if you arrange your brand advertising placement, it will inevitably trigger negative discussions, and this loss is not small." ”

Li Shengyao is unhappy with Okamoto's behavior of probing the trade secrets of competitors, and he wants to suppress the momentum of the other side.

When Tanashita Tojiro heard this, he felt a little embarrassed.

Okamoto is the second largest brand of small umbrellas, second only to Jieshibang, they are not a shameful brand in the island country, they don't think it's something to be ashamed to discuss, he doesn't understand what Lee Shengyao said.

What's the negative discussion about that?

He felt that this was Li Shengyao's excuse, if it was an island director, he wouldn't say a word, get up and leave, but Li Shengyao's status is different.

Lee Shengyao's films can not only cause great influence in Asia, but also in Europe and the United States.

It's not easy.

Before thinking of coming to Dalian this time, Tanashita Tojiro swore to make a military order on the board of directors, and then planned to come up with the ultimate conditions for his preparation, "Li Jun, I have a painting of flowers and birds by Shen Zhou here, I don't know if you are interested." ”

"Shen Zhou?"

Shen Zhou was a great painter of the Ming Dynasty, and his landscape paintings, flower and bird paintings were very famous.

Tanashita Tojiro didn't want to send paintings, he liked Chinese calligraphy and paintings, and wanted to intercept them, but now the situation has changed, and he has to make a move.

"Yes, Li Jun, I'm sure you'll like it."

"I'll show it."

Since it is an ancient Chinese painting, it naturally cannot fall on the island country, and Li Shengyao's interest in this painting is greater than seven million.
