"This idea is not bad!"
Li Xiucheng nodded: "But why did you come to me? Is it so simple that any actor can play the role?"
"You have to ask Miss Chen!"
Jiang Meihua pointedly said: "I found several male actors but they were not satisfied. They said they didn't match her aesthetics and couldn't be cast in the film. They also suggested that you were more photogenic than them and more suitable for the theme of the film.
Moreover, they are here to help, and I want you, the savior, to act in this commercial, which makes it more meaningful. "
When she said the last sentence, the acid in her heart was already coming out one after another.
This reason made Li Xiucheng scratch his head.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "Let's go and see the filming location first."
The shooting location was outside the new middle school in the town. Since the heroine is set to be a teacher, it was more realistic to use the background of the school to shoot.
When the Rolls-Royce parked at the filming site, the film crew who had been waiting a little impatiently immediately put on smiles.
The well-known young director Zhuo Zhuo came up to him with a smile on his face: "Manager Jiang, is this Mr. Li?"
"Li Xiucheng, thank you for your hard work, Director Zhuo!" Li Xiucheng reached out and said.
"No, no, no, work comes first and work is the biggest thing. If we take this job, we must do it until Mr. Li is satisfied."
Next to her, the female assistant Jiang Meihua who was following her pouted. She had a big head just because of the urging, but now she immediately changed her face when she saw the boss. It was so shameless.
Li Xiucheng looked at Chen Huixian who was touching up her makeup and asked, "What do you mean, Miss Chen?"
"Well, Priscilla mainly felt that the male actors did not match the temperament of the commercial. In fact, at first I thought it could be improved a bit with makeup and cameras."
The young director explained, then looked at Li Xiucheng with an exaggerated expression and said, "But, seeing Mr. Li himself, I felt that Priscilla's opinion was correct.
Mr. Li... your appearance, figure, and temperament make you look more like a big star than the big stars in Hong Kong.
Really, if it were you, I feel that the effect of this commercial would be absolutely outstanding. "
Everyone likes to hear flattery. Li Xiucheng listened happily, but he did not make a decision immediately. Instead, he asked: "Is there a test shoot?"
“Yes, there were five actors, and we did three test shoots.
Mr. Li, come and see. "
Director Zhuo led Li Xiucheng behind the camera and put down the film he had taken previously.
In fact, it is a very simple clip. The male protagonist is a salesman, running around in coastal cities, and calling the female protagonist from time to time after working hard.
But after watching the test shoot, Li Xiucheng understood what Chen Huixian meant by not feeling anything.
Chen Huixian's makeup is very fashionable and trendy, and the clothes of these actors are also very avant-garde, but their words and deeds have a strong "local flavor", which is the flavor of the times.
This kind of temperament cannot be erased by ordinary acting skills.
"If it were an ordinary pager advertisement, I think this would be fine, but our pager is a fashion element, which is a bit inappropriate."
At this time, Chen Huixian came over and said.
Li Xiucheng looked up and found that she was wearing a white knee-length dress, her hair was permed into small waves, and she was wearing a pair of high-heeled crystal sandals. She looked beautiful and fashionable.
I have to admit that some of the male actors in the test shoot were indeed worse.
When Li Xiucheng looked at Chen Huixian, Chen Huixian stood in front of him generously and continued: "Actually, you can also find someone from Xiangjiang, but I don't think it is necessary. Mr. Li's image and temperament are excellent, completely Can meet the requirements of the film.
In this way, you can increase Mr. Li's popularity without wasting everyone's time, which is also beneficial to Mr. Li's career development. "
"It's awesome. No need to shoot, I can already imagine how great the quality of the commercial will be!" Director Zhuo couldn't help but praise.
"Well, if you don't agree to it, I will be so praised by you that I will be confused!"
Li Xiucheng smiled and said that he was not a coy person and understood that what the two people said was the truth.
Because his special experience makes his temperament unique, he is indeed more suitable than those actors.
"Come on, this is the first time I've been an actor in my life. Tell me what I want to do."
Seeing that he agreed, Director Zhuo was overjoyed and shouted: "The makeup artist is here quickly..."
.....
The commercial was successfully shot before dark. The young director was full of praise after watching the finished film, saying that Li Xiucheng had great camera skills and outstanding talent. If he was willing to become a film and television star, he would definitely be a hit.
Li Xiucheng just smiled at this. In his previous life, he had been interviewed on TV and made newspaper headlines. Shooting this kind of advertisement was not difficult for him. It was a fresh and interesting experience.
In the evening, as a landlord, Li Xiucheng invited the executives, film crew and others to dinner.
Director Zhuo approached Li Xiucheng with a wine glass, toasted with a glass of wine and asked, "I wonder if Mr. Li has any plans to develop in Xiangjiang?"
"Oh? Why do you ask this?"
“Mr. Li is very powerful, and the E-type I product is so amazing. It will definitely become popular in China, but IMHO, with domestic consumption levels, there are still great restrictions on the development of such high-end electronic consumer products!
Why not consider getting out there!
Xiangjiang is the financial center of Asia, which is perfect for a beautiful product like the Era Type I! "
After listening, Li Xiucheng was a little surprised that this young director actually had some business acumen. Indeed, the current situation of the domestic pager market is so tepid.
Based on the memory of his previous life, he estimated that even if the Generation I model was very topical, it would not be possible until at least the end of next year to really explode in sales.
Logically speaking, he would certainly be able to make a fortune by going to Xiangjiang now, but he had no intention of doing so.
Because the market in Xiangjiang is occupied by groups such as MOTO and Panasonic, the market size is large and it is valued by several giant companies.
Touching this piece of cake now will definitely arouse the other party's reaction, and the domestic market is not taken seriously by the other party yet. He must first occupy the domestic market, which exploded in 1991.
By then, with this base area, it will not be too late to compete for the Xiangjiang market.
He smiled and replied: "Yes, I have such a plan, but due to production capacity and policy reasons, the plan for external sales may not be formed in a short time."
Director Zhuo's eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "Then Mr. Li must also know that the film and television industry is very prosperous, very profitable, and very promising.
Is Mr. Li interested in investing in a film and television company and making movies? "
Li Xiucheng laughed. This guy has been preparing for this relationship for so long just to attract investment to make a movie.
In response, he declined with a smile: "Director Zhuo's proposal is actually quite good, but the company is currently busy with affairs and has no extra funds to develop other projects."
Director Zhuo looked disappointed when he said this, and he comforted him: "But in the future, the company will definitely establish a branch in Xiangjiang and develop other businesses. If we are destined, we can continue to cooperate."
"OK!"
