After Xu Junrong hung up the phone, he couldn't help touching his forehead, the two brothers of the Zhou family are really completely different.

The big boss Zhou Hong looks relatively cold on the outside, and when he communicates with people, he has very few expressions on his face, and some people even give him a nickname in private, calling him Zhou Mutou.

But when Zhou Hong started to do things, he knew how to be flexible very much, and he didn't look like a wood at all.

It may be too much to say unscrupulous, or it can be said to be "informal".

As for the second boss Zhou Yan, he is usually amiable with everyone, and he seems to be the kind of sleek person, but after contact, you will find that he sometimes adheres to principles to the point of stubbornness.

Take today's incident as an example, Chen Hong is their actor of the Zhou family, and he helps their brothers make money, and Zhou Yan himself is the director, isn't it easy to arrange a little more scenes for Chen Hong?

But Zhou Yan just won't do it.

He also knew a little about Zhou Yan, so he just asked tentatively, and didn't say anything further.

……

The next day, Zhou Yan received a call from Panasonic, and the other party told him that he had already confirmed it with Chen Hong.

Zhou Yan didn't say anything else, only said that they were ready to start filming the advertisement.

After another two days, Zhou Yan pulled the team up, everything was ready, and made an appointment with the people of Panasonic to start shooting commercials.

This advertisement is very simple, the general content is a woman at home at night when she closes the curtains, and suddenly through the window she sees a man in the opposite building in a house, holding a guitar.

The music is good, the men are good-looking, and the women are attracted.

After the man finished playing the tune, he suddenly looked up and smiled and waved in the direction of the woman, and the woman waved in response with shame and joy.

At this moment, the curtain on the opposite side was suddenly blown open more by the wind, and a hand appeared holding the remote control to change the channel.

The woman realized that the man she saw playing the guitar was not a real person at all, but a picture from the TV opposite. By this time, the TV had changed its channel and turned into a football game.

After finding out that it was an oolong, the woman was also very embarrassed, and hurriedly closed her curtains.

That's the end of the advertisement.

The reason why it was shot like this is to reflect the clarity and color reproduction of Panasonic's new TV.

But in fact, if you really use a TV set to shoot like this, it will definitely not work, because the current TV set cannot achieve such an effect at all.

So Zhou Yan prepared to shoot in the room with a real person first, and finally used editing to splice the TV picture with the real picture.

The filming location Zhou Yan didn't look for other places, so he arranged it in the studio.

Building 3, which I just rented, is exactly face-to-face with the warehouse, which is exactly what the situation is, as long as you arrange two rooms on both sides.

The layout of the room was very simple, the official shooting took place in the evening, and it was all done in the morning of the day of the shooting.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Hong, who was supposed to be at the scene, was delayed.

Zhou Yan found Ryosuke Kawabata of Matsushita Electric and asked him: "What is the situation of the actress, why hasn't she come yet?" ”

Ryosuke Kawabata was also confused, "We have already docked with her, tell her to be there before two o'clock this afternoon, Mr. Zhou Yan, don't worry, I'll contact you now." ”

"As soon as possible, I don't want to affect the progress of our entire team because of one actor."

The official filming started at seven o'clock in the evening, but before that, Zhou Yan must communicate with the actors first, and then the actors have to put on makeup and rehearse.

The five hours set aside in the middle are used to do this, and if the time is delayed, their shooting will definitely have to be postponed.

Ryosuke Kawabata nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, I will communicate as soon as possible." ”

After speaking, he hurriedly ran to contact Chen Hong.

After more than forty minutes, Chen Hong was late.

When she arrived at the scene, Chen Hong had a good attitude and apologized to the staff at the scene again and again.

In the team of this shooting, many people followed Zhou Yan to make movies, such as Hong Xin and Hong Ben, two brothers and sisters.

Hong Xin and Hong Ben are actually not brother and sister, but both of them are surnamed Hong, and they look a little alike, so everyone jokes that they are brother and sister.

They themselves like to joke like this, and they are brother and sister to the outside world.

Hong Xin and Zhou Yan are old acquaintances, starting from the first movie that Zhou Yan participated in, and they have been cooperating since then, and Hong Ben started from "The Sixth Sense", and the previous cooperation was very pleasant, and this time I heard that Zhou Yan wanted someone, and he also responded as soon as possible.

Whether it is Hong Xin or Hong Ben, they are very familiar with Chen Hong, and when they filmed "Journey to the West" before, Chen Hong had a lot of contact with these people in Chang'an Studio.

In Hong Xin's eyes, Chen Hong and them are their own people.

Therefore, seeing Chen Hong apologize, Hong Xin also smiled and helped to play the round, "It must be a delay on the road, Hongmei, the traffic in Yanjing is not very neat." ”

Then Hong Xin looked at Zhou Yan again, "Director Zhou, since the actress is here, let's start quickly, don't waste time, you talk to her while I put on makeup." ”

Zhou Yan was about to say a few words about Chen Hong, but Hong Xin blocked his words, so he glanced at Chen Hong and said in a deep voice, "Give you fifteen minutes, let's try on clothes first." ”

Seeing that Zhou Yan didn't scold Chen Hong, Hong Xin took Chen Hong's hand and went to the dressing room.

When she arrived at the dressing room, Hong Xin smiled and said, "Sister Hong, what are you doing today, I know that Director Zhou hates people the most and is not punctual, and you are still so late." ”

Chen Hong didn't explain why she was late, but just thanked Hong Xin, "Sister Xin, thank you, if it wasn't for you just now, I would definitely be scolded miserably." ”

"Hey, it's nothing to be scolded, none of us have ever been scolded by Director Zhou, he's just more strict. You're okay, when you met him, he was already Director Zhou. When I met him, he was still a student, so I only regarded him as a younger brother, and I was a little uncomfortable when I was scolded by him. ”

Chen Hong walked to the edge of the hanger, and while choosing clothes, she asked Hong Xin, "Sister Xin, how is his preparation for his new movie this time?" ”

"The school is about to start building, anyway, we are all here, and we don't actually have anything to do during this time, so it's a practice to shoot an advertisement. What about you, after "Journey to the West", did you make any scenes? ”

"I made a TV series, and it's almost over."

"It's good that there has always been filming, you are still young and so beautiful, there will definitely be great development in the future."

Chen Hong sighed slightly, "There are so many beautiful girls, how many can have a good development?" ”

Hong Xin laughed, "You are so beautiful, you can still have this trouble, if I look as beautiful as you, I will wake up laughing every morning." When you came, the men's eyes were straight. ”

"Some people's eyes aren't straight." Chen Hong muttered in a low voice.

Her voice was too low for Hong Xin to hear clearly, "What? ”

"It's nothing, I said I don't know which dress to choose."

Hong Xin looked up at the clothes on the hanger and said with a smile, "Huh, isn't this simple?" One is white, one is sky blue, you can choose one of these two dresses. You look best in white, and blue, Director Zhou likes it the most. ”

"Then I'll choose the white one."

If it was before, Chen Hong would probably choose blue, because she wanted to please Zhou Yan, but now that she has figured it out, instead of pleasing Zhou Yan, she is better to be beautiful.

……

Fifteen minutes later, Zhou Yan took the storyboard to the dressing room.

Seeing Chen Hong wearing a white dress, his eyes lit up slightly, and he had to say that Chen Hong was indeed suitable for this kind of simple and plain clothes.

I haven't seen her for some days, Chen Hong seems to have lost some weight, and the smile on her face is a little less than before, but she has more and more oriental classical beauty.

Hong Xin was doing Chen Hong's hair, and when she saw Zhou Yan coming in, she said with a smile, "Director Zhou, is it okay for Hongmei to wear this dress?" ”

"Okay." Zhou Yan's tone was indifferent, but he didn't say it sincerely.

Hong Xin pouted, "It's so good-looking, it's just okay, why don't you change that blue set to take a look?" ”

"No need to toss, just set it." Zhou Yan looked at Chen Hong's face through the vanity mirror, "The eyebrows are lighter, thinner, and the lip color is lighter, her complexion is white enough, and she doesn't need too much powder." ”

"Roger."

Zhou Yan nodded, approached and handed a storyboard to Chen Hong, "Let's take a look at the sub-shots first, there are not many shots in the advertisement, so there is no difficulty." ”

Chen Hong looked up at Zhou Yan, and quickly withdrew his eyes, "Well, I know." ”

After a while, when Chen Hong had read the storyboard, Zhou Yan asked her, "Is there anything you don't understand?" ”

Chen Hong asked, "Will the two sides of the play be going on at the same time?" ”

"No, shoot your shot first, then mine."

"Oh." Chen Hong thought for a while, and then asked: "Who recorded this narration advertising sentence?" Are you or me? ”

"It's you, so I'll arrange for you to record when my camera starts."

In this advertisement, the two actors did not have a single line in the whole process, only at the end of the advertisement, there was an advertising slogan "Panasonic TV, bigger and clearer", this advertising slogan was originally recorded by the actress.

"Well, I see, nothing else."

"When you're done with your makeup, go to the opposite spot B to rehearse, and in half an hour, I'll be waiting for you over there."

After speaking, without waiting for Chen Hong to respond, Zhou Yan came out of the dressing room.

After Zhou Yan left, Chen Hong was stunned in the mirror, and Hong Xin asked with a smile, "What's wrong?" ”

"Sure enough, Director Zhou is not very satisfied with my clothes."

"Haha, I see that you still don't know enough about him, if he is really dissatisfied, he will definitely let you change it directly, there will be no other possibility, he pays great attention to these details, and he will not compromise at all. Since he didn't let you change it, it means that he is satisfied. ”

"Then ...... him"

"I guess it's because you're late, let's give you a little look, it's all normal, it's nothing."

Half an hour later, Chen Hong put on makeup and went to the B point room.

Zhou Yan did not waste time, and directly took her to familiarize herself with the position and position.

It wasn't until six o'clock that the machine was set up on site to make the final preparations before shooting.

By seven o'clock, the shooting began on time.

There were not a few shots, and Zhou Yan took Chen Hong to get familiar with it many times in advance, so it took less than an hour to shoot all the shots of Chen Hong.

When Chen Hong's footage was finished, Zhou Yan asked her to record the advertising words, while he himself took the team to the room at point A to shoot his own shots.

He has to play the guitar more shots, so the shooting is also more difficult.

The most important point is that he has to take into account the difficulty of post-editing when shooting, so the part of the TV recording must fit perfectly with the background of the room, and it cannot be exactly the same.

And at the beginning of shooting, you can only reserve space for a TV, otherwise the post-editing effect will be very poor.

In addition, because you want to shoot the picture of the TV video, you have to put the real picture shot in the early stage on the TV and play it, so after the first part of the filming, you must quickly wash, cut and blow to get the video out.

This process is very time-consuming.

It wasn't until half past twelve that all the shots on Zhou Yan's side were completed.

After Zhou Yan said the sentence "call it a day", the staff at the scene were relieved, although it was only an advertising film, it was no different from a movie, and Zhou Yan's requirements were very high.

Fortunately, the commercial is relatively short, if it is more than a minute, they will inevitably have to stay up all night today, and they may not be able to finish filming.

Ryosuke Kawabata, the representative of Matsushita Electric, has been watching from the side, as Party A, he can't pick out any thorns in Zhou Yan's shooting, many times he feels that the shooting is already very good, but Zhou Yan is still not satisfied.

When all the filming was over, he was also relieved.

At the end of the work, Zhou Yan instructed them to put away the film and send it to the printing room, and said to Hong Ben, "You go and tell the canteen to start preparing for dinner, and after this side is cleaned up, everyone will go to eat." ”

In order to get this commercial out, most of the people didn't eat at night, and they insisted until now, and Zhou Yan also made the kitchen work harder, and followed the overtime until now.

"Director Zhou, aren't you going to eat with us?"

"Don't eat it yet, I'll go to the printing room to see the films that have been washed out."

"Or we'll wait ......"

Zhou Yan waved his hand, "Don't wait for me, you can go back and rest after eating." ”

"Okay then."

Looking at the back of Zhou Yan leaving, Hong Ben sighed deeply, otherwise Director Zhou could succeed, the passion of this work is not comparable to ordinary people.

has been in the industry for so long, Hong Ben has only seen one person who is more passionate than Zhou Yan's work, and that is Zhang Yimou.

Of course, compared with Zhang Yimou, Zhou Yan is still a normal human being, Zhang Yimou is not a human at all, and Hong Ben has never seen Zhang Yimou sleep.

After Zhou Yan arrived at the printing room, he said a few words to the staff in charge of printing, and then took the film to the editing room, and he started editing by himself.

He's not a professional editor, but it's okay to cut a commercial.

The line track recorded by Chen Hong has come out, and several versions have been recorded, and Zhou Yan has also listened to them one by one.
