Chapter 186: Can't take it
Shiseido's efficiency was fast, and when Zhou Yan and the orchestra first arrived in Nagoya, their advertising script was delivered.
Zhou Yan spent a minute reading the advertising script, and then called Zhang Youan, saying that he couldn't accept this endorsement.
The entire advertisement is twenty seconds, of which fifteen seconds are shots of Wang Zuxian swinging, and five seconds are close-ups of Wang Zuxian washing his hair.
And Zhou Yan is responsible for pushing the swing for Wang Zuxian in the back.
In the advertising script, the specific information of each shot is reflected, including the scene, camera movement, duration and lines.
In the whole advertisement, whether it is Zhou Yan or Wang Zuxian, there are no lines, only the narrator introduces Shiseido's new shampoo.
It doesn't matter if the advertisement is not creative, the main reason is that the scene and the camera movement are too pale, Zhou Yan thinks that this advertisement can be shot by any person.
Under normal circumstances, a twenty-second ad will not reflect anything, and it is necessary to seize the time to reflect the product, and it is understandable that the script is simpler.
But when Zhou Yanguang looked at this script, he knew that the advertisement was definitely not good-looking, and there was no way to make people look good.
In addition, there is nothing special about the song "The Street Where the Wind Lives" in this commercial, and it is completely used as background music.
Zhou Yan originally thought that Shiseido spent so much money because he had some special ideas in music, but he didn't expect that.
Hearing Zhou Yan say that he was unwilling to take it, Zhang Youan was not surprised at all, because he had also read the advertising script, and it was indeed very ordinary.
"There is still a difference between advertising and movies, and you can't be too demanding, or ...... I'm going to talk to them, change the script? ”
Zhou Yan shook his head, "Don't toss, people's scripts are well written, I'm not a screenwriter or a director, it's not good to just put your beak casually." ”
Hearing Zhou Yan say this, Zhang Youan did not persuade again.
"Okay, I'll call them back directly, saying that I will only give them the music authorization for "The Street Where the Wind Lives", and as for the endorsement, forget it."
"Well, so be it."
……
After Zhang Youan and Zhou Yan talked on the phone, he contacted Jiro Hattori.
"Mr. Hattori, it's a pity that this cooperation can't be reached, Zhou Yan takes into account that he has been busy recently and can't spare time, so let's cooperate next time."
As soon as Hattori Jiro heard this, he knew that it was a pretext, and if Zhou Yan was really busy with his schedule, he would not have said that he wanted to read the script of the advertisement before.
Now after reading the script, I said that I didn't have time, it must be because I was not satisfied with the script of the advertisement.
Jiro Hattori asked directly, "Mr. Zhang, is Zhou Yan dissatisfied with the advertising script this time?" ”
Since Jiro Hattori had already guessed the reason, Zhang Youan also said with a smile, "Zhou Yan is a director after all, and it is normal to have a pursuit of the camera." Of course, your advertising script is already very good, Zhou Yan himself is making movies, and he doesn't know much about the shooting of advertisements, so there are some errors in using the standards of movies to require advertisements. ”
Zhang Youan didn't say that Shiseido's advertising script was bad, but he still saved face for them.
Jiro Hattori still didn't give up, "Zhou Yan has any opinions on the script, can you tell us?" ”
"He didn't say anything specific about this, you know, although I am his agent, I can't control him."
"Is it convenient for me to talk to Zhou Yan?"
"Then I'll have to ask him what he means."
"Then please ask Mr. Zhang to help me ask."
"Okay, you wait for my news."
After that, Zhang Youan called Zhou Yan again and told Zhou Yan about it.
Zhou Yan also gave face and agreed to talk to Jiro Hattori again.
After a while, Zhou Yan received a call from Jiro Hattori.
In this call, Jiro Hattori was next to the translator, so the conversation between the two should be smoother.
"Mr. Zhou Yan, if you have any opinions on our advertising script, you can directly put it forward." Jiro Hattori gets straight to the point.
"Actually, the script of the advertisement is not bad, but I think this advertisement, as long as Wang Zuxian is alone, it seems strange to add me."
This is Zhou Yan's true thoughts, this advertisement is not bad to say, and the advertisements have been like this all these years.
However, in this advertisement, Zhou Yan's position is very embarrassing, and he has not improved the advertisement at all.
Jiro Hattori muttered, "Mr. Shuhiko, what are your thoughts on advertising, can you tell me?" If we can, we can change the script according to your ideas. ”
"There's no need for that, if I make a random suggestion, it will disrupt your plans."
Hattori Jiro understood when he heard this, if Zhou Yan wanted to change, it would definitely be a big change.
"It doesn't matter, anyway, the advertisement has been changed several times, I don't care about changing one more version, please be sure to give advice. Of course, if your suggestion is accepted, we will pay you accordingly. ”
"It doesn't matter if you get paid......"
Zhou Yan still has some ideas about this advertisement, not only because of the endorsement fee, but also because of Wang Zuxian.
If he can, he also hopes that his girlfriend can shoot a better commercial.
"Although the advertising time is not long, it is not without room for operation, since you have bought the license of "The Street Where the Wind Lives" and want to invite me, you naturally want to take advantage of it. Combining the elements of me, Wang Zuxian, and "The Street Where the Wind Lives" may have a better effect. ”
"Actually, we do have such an idea, but the time is relatively tight, and there is no better plan, Mr. Zhou, do you have any specific ideas?"
Zhou Yan thought for a while and said, "I'll write out my thoughts, and I'll look back at you." ”
Jiro Hattori said happily, "No problem, then it's troublesome, but I hope you can be a little faster on your side." ”
"I know, I'll let Zhang Youan show it to you tomorrow."
On the phone with Hattori Jiro, Zhou Yan found a pen and paper and wrote out his thoughts roughly, he didn't write too carefully, he didn't mention anything about the scene arrangement and camera movement, he only wrote some general ideas.
The reason why this is so is also taking into account the emotions of the main creators, there are too many interventions, and no director will like it.
……
The next day, Jiro Hattori saw the things written by Zhou Yan, and then took the things to Takuya Takahashi, the director who was in charge of filming the commercial.
Takuhashi Takahashi is also a well-known director in the neon advertising industry, and many well-known brands will ask him to shoot commercials.
When he saw Hattori Jiro, Takuya Takahashi was still smiling, but when he heard Zhou Yan put forward some opinions, his face turned cold.
He didn't even look at what Zhou Yan wrote, so he said coldly, "Mr. Hattori, it's not just you Shiseido who asked me to shoot an advertisement, I've been delaying your project for a long time. If you, your company's planners, and the actors, everyone comes up and gives a little feedback, then I don't know when the project will end. Zhou Yan is a very good musician, I admit that, but it doesn't mean that he is good at everything. Maybe he knows a little bit about movies, but advertising is not the same thing as movies. ”
Hattori Jiro didn't expect Takuya Takahashi's reaction to be so big, he smiled and comforted Takahashi Takuya, "Director Takahashi, I think Zhou Yan's opinion is quite meaningful, you might as well talk about it after watching it." ”
Stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling man, seeing that Hattori Jiro was gentle and kind, Takahashi was not good to have another seizure, so he frowned and took the paper from Hattori Jiro's hand.
After reading it, Takuya Takahashi's eyebrows wrinkled even more, and he patted the paper in his hand, "Does Zhou Yan think that we are making a movie?" The point of the ad is to be simple and clear, so that the viewer can pay attention to the main message at a glance, and remember that he wants to pile up so many elements that it will only clutter the ad. This ad is only twenty seconds, not twenty minutes, not two hours. ”
"So, there is no way to realize these ideas of his?" Jiro Hattori asked.
Takuya Takahashi shrugged his shoulders, "At least I don't have this ability, maybe, a big director can do it." ”
These words were insinuating, and as soon as I heard it, I knew that he had a lot of opinions about Zhou Yan.
In fact, Jiro Hattori is not very accurate, after all, he is a pure layman in this regard.
The key Takuya Takahashi does have some fame in the advertising industry, and what he said, Hattori Jiro must not ignore.
Perhaps, as Takuya Takahashi said, these opinions of Zhou Yan are too idealistic and cannot be implemented in the advertisement?
Although Zhou Yan is a director, after all, he has only made movies and has no experience in advertising.
It's true that movies are more advanced than commercials, but that doesn't mean that film directors are guaranteed to be able to shoot commercials well.
Seeing Hattori Jiro hesitating, Takuya Takahashi said again, "If you think these ideas can be realized, it is better to find him to shoot, anyway, he is a film director, and there should be no problem at all in shooting commercials." ”
This is a bit of a forced palace, which means to let Hattori Jiro make a choice between him and Zhou Yan.
Hattori Jiro didn't want to give up, he said, "Maybe Zhou Yan has a better idea, Director Takahashi, you can talk to him directly, maybe ......"
Before he finished his words, Takahashi Takushi slapped the paper in his hand on the table, "This is impossible, Mr. Hattori, I still have something to do today, so I'll go back first, and then contact me when you make a decision." ”
After saying that, Takushi Takahashi also turned around and left.
Looking at the back of Takuya Takuhashi leaving, Jiro Hattori shook his head and sighed, Takahashi's temper was too big.
The reason why the first version did not pass before was also because of Takahashi's stubbornness, when they clearly put forward their opinions, but Takahashi was unwilling to adopt them, and they were not satisfied with the final film.
originally thought that if Takahashi didn't listen to the opinions of his laymen, Zhou Yan was also a famous director after all, Takahashi might be able to adopt his opinion, but he didn't expect the situation to be similar, and even Takahashi's reaction was a little more intense.
It's clear that they are Party A, but they still have to suffer from this.
If Zhou Yan was willing to shoot, he really wanted to replace Takuya Takuhashi.
But Jiro Hattori didn't have hope for this, the film director came to shoot the commercial, which is a downgrade, unless there is any special reason, it is impossible for the average film director to take the job of the advertisement.
Zhou Yan doesn't look like a person who can compromise for money, and they have already spent a lot of money, and it is impossible to spend a lot of money on the director's fee.
Hattori Jiliang tapped his fingers on the tabletop, frowning and pondering.
After a while, Jiro Hattori picked up the phone on the table and dialed it.
After the phone was connected, a smile appeared on his face, "Miss Wang Zuxian, is it convenient to chat?" ”
"Mr. Hattori, is the commercial about to start shooting?"
"No, now we have encountered a little problem, we originally wanted to invite Zhou Yan to shoot the advertisement with you, but Mr. Zhou Yan was a little dissatisfied with the script of the advertisement."
"Uh...... Mr. Hattori, I'm afraid I can't help you with this, and Zhou Yan and I are just ordinary friends. ”
Wang Zuxian was afraid that Jiro Hattori would ask her to help persuade Zhou Yan to shoot an advertisement, so he blocked Jiro Hattori's later words in one sentence.
She knew that if she spoke to Zhou Yan, Zhou Yan would definitely agree to her.
But even if Zhou Yan was willing, she was unwilling.
Of course, she also wants to shoot commercials with Zhou Yan, but she doesn't want Zhou Yan to wronged herself for her, which will make her very uncomfortable.
Besides, she is a spokesperson, and she is not obligated to help Shiseido.
After Hattori Jiro's words were blocked, he didn't say anything about it, he thought about it for a while, and said, "The advertisement should not be filmed in the past two days, but Miss Wang, don't worry, we will pay you the fee for this period according to the standard stipulated in the previous contract." It just so happens that Zhou Yan is holding a concert in Nagoya the day after tomorrow, and if you want to go to see it, I'll ask someone to get you a ticket. ”
Wang Zuxian smiled, "It's okay, no." ”
"yes, okay."
Here, after Wang Zuxian hung up Hattori Jiro's phone, she shook her fist happily, she was worried that she didn't have time to go to Zhou Yan's concert.
As for the tickets, she went to see Zhou Yan's concert, and she asked someone else to get her a ticket?
After that, she began to pack her things and prepare to rush to Nagoya.
……
After Zhou Yan wrote the advertising opinion, he didn't care about it anymore, but prepared for the concert in Nagoya with peace of mind.
Although the process of the concert was basically the same as the first one, Zhou Yan did not slack off, and still led the members of the orchestra to prepare carefully.
They are not only responsible for the audience who comes to the concert every time, but also for themselves.
Every concert is not only a high-quality performance for the audience, but also an opportunity for the orchestra members to improve their skills.
If you don't take the concert seriously because the process is the same, then these members of the orchestra will never improve.
Every concert, before the start of the meeting, they will hold a mobilization meeting, and after the end, they will also hold a review meeting, which is how the strong soldiers and strong generals are trained.
That day, he rehearsed with the orchestra in the concert hall until more than eight o'clock in the evening, when Zhou Yan returned to the room, it was already early nine o'clock, he called Wang Zuxian first, but he didn't answer for a long time, and then he didn't think much about it, so he went to take a bath, and was going to make a call after taking a shower.
When he came out of the shower and was about to change into his pajamas, the doorbell rang.
"Who?"
Zhou Yan asked.
No one answered outside the door, but the doorbell rang again.
Zhou Yan frowned, slowly walked to the back of the door, looked outside at the cat's eyes, and didn't see anyone.
The doorbell is still ringing.
Faced with such a strange situation, Zhou Yan walked over and copied the bench in his hand, and then shouted, "Who?" ”
If no one answers, Zhou Yan will go to the front desk.
But at this time, Wang Zuxian's voice sounded outside, "Third brother, it's me." ”
Hearing her voice, Zhou Yan breathed a sigh of relief and opened the door.
Wang Zuxian was tightly wrapped, standing outside the door like a thief, looking around, and when Zhou Yan opened the door, she quickly got in.
After entering the house, seeing Zhou Yan holding a bench in his hand, Wang Zuxian was stunned for a moment, "Third brother, you don't think there are bad guys, right?" ”
Zhou Yan put down the bench and rolled his eyes, "You sneaky look is no different from a bad guy, if you don't speak again, I'm going to call the police." ”
Wang Zuxian took off his scarf and hat, and said with a smile, "The members of your orchestra all live on this floor, of course I have to be careful, are you happy to see me?" ”
Zhou Yan didn't answer, he directly pressed Wang Zuxian against the door and answered the question with a warm kiss.
(A few hundred words omitted here)
Looking at Wang Zuxian, who was flushed, Zhou Yan nodded, "This dress is good today." ”
"Huh?"
Zhou Yan smiled evilly, "It's easy to take off." ”
(A few more words omitted here)
……
After the clouds and rain, Wang Zuxian shrank in Zhou Yan's arms, and his fingers traveled along Zhou Yan's muscle lines.
Zhou Yan's muscles are not very large, but the body fat is kept relatively low, so the muscles are obvious.
And these muscles are very useful, which Wang Zuxian feels very deeply.
Zhou Yan stroked Wang Zuxian's long hair, lowered his head and smelled the fragrance in her hair, and then remembered the shampoo advertisement, so he asked, "What is the current situation of your advertisement?" ”
Wang Zuxian shook his head, "I don't know, I don't care, anyway, I'm going to stay in Neon for a while longer, and wait until your concert is over." During my time in Neon, they still had to pay me a salary. ”
"They have asked me to speak for me, but this matter has not yet been decided."
"Well, I heard Jiro Hattori say that."
Zhou Yan looked at Wang Zuxian, "Did he let you be a lobbyist?" ”
"Yes, but I refused directly, I don't want you to wronged myself because of me."
Zhou Yan smiled and said, "Silly girl, if I really go to shoot an advertisement because of you, it can't be a grievance, can I also feel wronged if I do something for my girlfriend?" I just feel happy. ”
Hearing this, Wang Zuxian felt a little hypoxic in the brain, Zhou Yan usually doesn't say meaty love words, but coaxing people doesn't pay for her life, just this paragraph just now made her feel so happy that she was about to faint.
She put her head on Zhou Yan's chest and said coquettishly, "Then I also hope that my boyfriend won't do things he doesn't like." ”
Zhou Yan rubbed her head, "Your advertising script is very bad, it should be something that was made temporarily, and I don't really want you to shoot such an advertisement, but since it's going to be filmed, it's better to let them change the script." I gave them some advice, but Jiro Hattori hasn't replied to me yet. If they're willing to change the script based on my input, then I'll take their endorsement. ”
"What advice did you give them?"
"It's nothing special, I just want to be able to connect me, you, and the song "The Street Where the Wind Lives". I believe that if the director is really capable, he will definitely be able to find a solution. ”
Wang Zuxian didn't have any special ideas about the advertisement, for her, it was just a simple job, that is, Shiseido didn't write any scripts, and it was no problem just to let her stand in front of the camera and read the advertising slogan.
In fact, some of the commercials she has shot are as simple as that, she doesn't have to do anything, she changes her clothes and makeup, stands in front of the camera and reads an advertising slogan, and that advertisement is over.
As for the effect of the later presentation, she didn't care at all.
This is also the idea of most spokespersons, the brand gives money, and they just do their part.
There are a bunch of people who pick up bad movies, and bad ads are not a big deal.
After that, the two didn't talk about work, and began to talk about some trivial things in life, chatting and chatting, Zhou Yan suddenly said, "Xiaoxian, I'll take you to meet my family when I have time." ”
Wang Zuxian's body suddenly tensed.
She has seen a lot of Zhou Yan's family, but of course she also understands what Zhou Yan means, this is to disclose their relationship to the family.
Feeling Wang Zuxian's physical reaction, Zhou Yan asked, "Don't you want to?" ”
Wang Zuxian hurriedly said, "Of course I do, it's just ...... I was a little nervous. ”
"What are you nervous about, you've seen my younger brothers and sisters, and my second brother, I'll take you to meet them first, but this time it's different, it's as my girlfriend. As for the rest of the family, I'll see you slowly when I find a chance in the future. ”
Wang Zuxian nodded obediently, "Well, I really miss Jiu'er and them." ”
……
The next morning, Zhou Yan and Wang Zuxian stayed in the hotel without going out.
However, because he was worried that the students would come to him and meet Wang Zuxian, Zhou Yan opened another room for Wang Zuxian on the same floor of the hotel, and the two stayed in the newly opened room.
In the afternoon, Zhou Yan went to the concert hall to rehearse, and Wang Zuxian stayed alone in the hotel, waiting for him to go home after work.
Although staying in a hotel, Wang Zuxian feels like a wife waiting for her husband to come home.
Another day passed, and the Nagoya "Voices of the East" concert arrived.
The Nagoya concert, like the one in Tokyo, was sold out for a long time, and many people had to pay a lot of money to buy tickets from others.
Before the concert began, the scene was no worse than in front of the Suntory Concert Hall.
Shu Nomura and the photographer stood on the side of the road in front of the concert hall, observing the situation outside.
The concert in Nagoya had nothing to do with their TV station, so he had no privilege and could only squat outside like other reporters. But when the concert is over, he may have the opportunity to say a few words to Zhou Yan.
Just after six o'clock, there was a sudden shout from the crowd.
This time, Nomura Shu moved quickly, and the place where the cry came from was very close to him, so he walked over in a few steps.
After arriving at the place, Nomura Xiu found that it was a well-known actor who had arrived at the scene.
Guan Bo should be the first local artist to publicly appear at Zhou Yan's concert, and there were no neon stars in Zhou Yan's concert last time.
However, the appearance of the museum did not cause much of a sensation, he was not very popular, and he was a native of Nagoya, and he was a man, so he lacked topicality.
After a while, there was another commotion at the scene, and Nomura Shu hurriedly ran over there.
Before Nomura Shuto could squeeze in front of him, he heard someone shouting, "Shizuka Kudo!" ”
He hurriedly jumped to look ahead, and sure enough, the beautiful and moving Shizuka Kudo was standing in the crowd, constantly waving to the people at the scene, and flashing lights from all directions converged on her, as if a stage had been set up temporarily.
Unlike the museum, Shizuka Kudo is now very popular in Asia, so the sensation is even greater.
The most important thing is that when Shizuka Kudo held a concert in Xiangjiang in the summer, a reporter asked her which male star she admired most in Xiangjiang, and she said Zhou Yan.
And before on Neon's own TV show, she also expressed her appreciation for Zhou Yan.
Such good material, of course, reporters will not let it go easily, and for a while, there were many news reports on Neon's side that Shizuka Kudo showed her love for Zhou Yan in the air.
When Zhou Yan held a concert in Tokyo a few days ago, many people were concerned about whether Shizuka Kudo would be at the music scene.
After all, she expressed her appreciation for Zhou Yan twice in public, and Zhou Yan went to her hometown to hold a concert that time, and it stands to reason that she would come to the scene to cheer, but to everyone's disappointment, Shizuka Kudo did not appear that day.
But what people didn't expect was that Shizuka Kudo didn't go to the concert in Tokyo, but she came to the concert in Nagoya.
As soon as Shizuka Kudo appeared, a group of reporters surrounded her, and several microphones almost hit her in the face.
"Shizuka, did you come to the scene today because you received an invitation from Zhou Yan?"
"Miss Kudo, why didn't you show up at the "Voices of the East" concert in Tokyo before?"
"Do you know Zhou Yan privately?"
……
Faced with the questions that came from reporters like a tide, Shizuka Kudo was not in a hurry, after all, she had seen a big scene, and since she was here today, she expected this to be the case.
"Although I really wanted to receive Zhou Yan's invitation, unfortunately, no. As for the last concert in Tokyo, I couldn't be there because I had arranged work in advance, but fortunately Zhou Yan didn't do more than one concert at Neon. ”
Reporter: "Come over today, will you go backstage to see Zhou Yan?" ”
Shizuka Kudo: "If I have the chance, of course I want to meet with Zhou Yan." ”
Reporter: "Have you ever thought about cooperating with Zhou Yan?" He has also written some pop songs. ”
Shizuka Kudo: "I've answered this question publicly before, and I very much hope to be able to sing the song "Forever Together", but it doesn't seem that this word has reached Zhou Yan's ears yet, so you have to work hard and let him know quickly." ”
Reporter: "Don't you want him to write a new song for you?" ”
Shizuka Kudo: "I don't think there is any singer who doesn't have such an idea, but Zhou Yan rarely writes songs for people, so as long as I can sing "Forever Together", I am already satisfied. ”
Reporter: "Would you consider finding a foreigner as a boyfriend?" ”
This is tantamount to asking if Shizuka Kudo is willing to find Zhou Yan as her boyfriend.
Shizuka Kudo replied very generously, "If two people are suitable, why not?" ”
Hearing Shizuka Kudo's answer, many onlookers at the scene began to heckle.
The reporters also hurriedly wrote down Kudo Shizuka's words in a small notebook, and the scandal of handsome men and beautiful women is the audience's favorite to watch, and it is also the media's favorite to write.
……
On this side, Shizuka Kudo was dealing with the reporter in the crowd, and on the other side, Wang Zuxian had slipped from the side to the backstage in disguise.
However, before entering the door, Wang Zuxian still glanced in the direction of Shizuka Kudo, and she had also heard the news that Shizuka Kudo publicly expressed her appreciation for Zhou Yan.
Alas, audit
