Chapter 6: New York is so small
After a long pause, Jimmy suddenly complained: "Damn, why didn't you tell me earlier that you were so awesome, and if you knew that I would have asked the director to arrange me to be a photographer directly!" You and I can control the whole set! Jimmy, Donde, Donji brothers, wow, that's so cool! ”
Tang De couldn't cry and laughed, and reached out and beat his chest: "Shit, Jimmy, you didn't ask me at all!" ”
"Well, I didn't ask." Jimmy sighed regretfully and put his arm around his shoulder: "But next time if you are sure, you have to tell me in advance, and the two of us will cooperate and strive for a better position from the director!" Definitely get ahead! ”
As he was talking, there was a sudden commotion outside the studio, and then a fat old man wearing a red shirt and a felt hat walked in from outside.
He was hugging a young girl with heavy makeup and talking about it, and the girl was also looking around excitedly, with a smug look on her face.
After the old man sat in the director's chair, the girl sat directly on his lap and didn't seem to shy away from it at all.
"So she is?" Tang De seemed to have guessed the girl's identity.
"I haven't seen it, maybe I just chosen, and it will be like this when the two of us become a little famous on the set in the future, look at that guy Dudley!"
Jimmy's Dudley is today's photographer, and he is chatting with a group of girls outside the door at this time, and from time to time he reaches out to touch each other's size, as if he is planning to find a model to take some private photos.
Just when Jimmy's eyes were full of envy, a young blonde woman wearing a dark green skirt over a brown coat and sunglasses walked into the set with high heels.
Jimmy whistled and looked excited: "Look, it's a female star, it seems to be called Kongari Johnson." ”
Tang De corrected: "No, it's Scarlett Johansson." ”
At the same time, the smile on his face was a little playful.
As he said, America, anything is possible, isn't it?
In addition to Scarlett and the director, several people walked in through the door.
One of them, dressed in a gray coat and holding a briefcase in his hand, stared around with a cautious gaze.
When Scarlett sat down, he sat beside her like a flower messenger.
Obviously, that's her agent.
The other was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, with a hooked nose and triangular eyes, his face was full of wrinkles, and his gray hair was neatly tucked back to the back of his head and fixed with hair oil, which looked oily and shiny.
He stood behind the director, not smiling, and made people panic.
Jimmy wanted to go up to the director to say hello and prove his connections to Donde, but he stopped when he saw the old man chatting with the director.
"Let's just wait here." Jimmy has been on the set for so long, and what he has learned the most is not to show up when he shouldn't, especially in front of the director.
So the two of them didn't come over, they just stood and fiddled back and forth next to the light.
Until director Apollion clapped his hands, called them over, and formed a small circle.
"Jimmy!" When the two approached, Apollion patted Jimmy on the shoulder, "How is it?" Is the lighting difficult? ”
"No problem, Director." Jimmy replied aloud.
"Alright, Dudley, what about you, are the cameras ready?" Photographer Dudley, with his curly brown hair and fair skin, looks quite melancholy.
"It's ready."
"Awesome, then you talk to Jimmy about the lighting effects later, listen, guys, don't have any problems. Domino's boss is right behind us! Apollion's jaw shook slightly, and everyone looked at the stern old man.
"He's harsh, so don't let him get his hands on anything......"
After Apollion explained the advertising idea again, he let everyone take their places.
Dudley followed the director's orders, looked at Jimmy and Donde, and said, "This ad needs to create a depth of field effect, to make the whole environment look real, Jimmy, got it?" ”
"Don't worry, I understand!"
Jimmy winked at Don after finishing speaking, it was really the same as what the good brother said.
After Dudley left, Tang De and the others directly turned on the lights one by one.
"Buzz!" The light instantly shines through the softbox that fills the background of the poster, and the light source on the side casts a rich shadow of the mountains and forests, and when viewed from the front, it looks like the real mountains.
"Huh?" Dudley, who had just set up the camera, opened his eyes wide, and secretly said in his heart that he had just finished speaking, why did this kid Jimmy arrange the lights?
He looked down at the viewfinder again, and sure enough, it was perfect. In the picture, the shadow of the forest is lighter, overlapping like a fence. The shadows of the mountains are tall and blurry, giving the illusion that there is no end in sight.
Dudley raised his head and looked at the scene again, it was obviously just a pile of cardboard, how could it be no different from the real environment under the lighting?
It was the first time he had met a gaffer who was so fast, and he used to take a long time to set up the lights every time.
"I didn't think Jimmy, this kid really has some skills." Dudley retracted his opinion that Jimmy was uneducated and only drank and patted on the back, and made an OK gesture to the director.
And Apollion was also talking to Scarlett at this time.
"Honey, today's ad is simple, all you need is to hold it!" Apollion smiled and picked up the pizza prop on the table: "Hold it up next to you and read a slogan." ”
"Hmm......" Scarlett nodded, feeling that it was really not difficult, and she should be able to leave work early today.
But when the serious old man saw Apollion's movements, he walked over and stood beside the two of them: "Sir and Madam, I need to change the original outdoor advertising creative. ”
"What?" Apollion frowned, "Mr. Monagan, we've already made it before. ”
Monagan shook his head: "Just putting it on his side doesn't show the huge size of our pizza at all!" I need more impactful performances, like ......"
He picked up the pizza and slammed it straight in front of Scarlett's head, slamming it into the tip of her nose because it was too rude.
"Oh!" Scarlett snorted softly, but didn't complain.
Apollion's brow furrowed even more at this, but he couldn't think of anything to refute it.
Scarlett's agent, Brian Lorde, stepped forward: "With all due respect, it's not good-looking, and Scarlett's face is not revealed, which doesn't match the advertising content we agreed upon!" ”
"Shut up, boy." Monagan looked dismissive: "I spent money, it's my product, my advertising." I don't need you to tell me if it's good! ”
Seeing that the atmosphere between the two of them was tense, "Okay, then that's it......" Apollion had to speak to ease, he really couldn't think of any new and strange ideas, so he could only persuade: "Scarlett, dear, you just just raise the pizza to cover your face." ”
"Okay, that's it." Scarlett was a little depressed, went to the locker room to change into a denim suit, and walked directly to the poster, waiting for the shooting.
Apollion also sat down at his director's seat and picked up the microphone: "Okay, everyone is ready, let's start shooting." ”
