Chapter 288 Shooting an Advertisement

Zhuo Lin entertained them.

After brewing tea and presenting candy, he asked with a smile, "Student Cui is a film student. Do you have any opinions on commercials?"

Cui Zijian took a sip of tea, it tasted quite good.Authentic Fujian white tea.He cleared his throat and said, "I dare not say anything condescending. In fact, whether it is movies, TV, or commercials, they are all forms of artistic expression. And I think that short commercials can be shot wonderfully, and the short commercials can be shot well." Word of mouth in the streets and alleys is also a great success."

Zhuo Lin smiled and nodded, looking at Gu Kaiyan.

Gu Kaiyan interjected: "Zijian is right. The overseas advertising industry has developed relatively maturely. The domestic one is still vacant. As a photographer, I don't want to miss this rare opportunity."

As he spoke, he picked up a candy from the crystal plate: "Xianyun brand. Excuse me for guessing, are we going to shoot an advertisement for this brand?"

Zhuo Lin nodded, showing approval: "Not bad. Our company wants to promote the brand to the whole country. Therefore, the requirements for advertising are also relatively high. It is best to have a relatively new idea, which can make people memorable and effectively promote the brand .”

Cui Zijian immediately said: "Then we need to find a screenwriter." He recommended himself, "It just so happens that I also like to write some scripts. But we have to determine the duration and theme of the advertisement in advance."

Zhuo Lin looked at them: "Can you show me the two previous works?"

Cui Zijian sighed: "The conversation is getting better, why did you forget this?"

He and Gu Kaiyan just collaborated on a short film a while ago.It's called "Love in Fragrant Hills" and it's only 15 minutes long.But the relationship between the hero and heroine is quite delicate, and the plot is smooth.Boys and girls who grew up under the Fragrant Hills have gone through a youthful love affair on campus.They meet again at the foot of Xiangshan Mountain many years later.The story came to an abrupt end.Although simple, the introverted emotion is extremely moving, and the scenery of autumn leaves in Xiangshan Mountain is extremely beautiful.

After watching the video, Zhuo Lin pondered for a moment and asked, "If this story is shortened to 3 minutes, change the background and implant our brand into it. Is it feasible?"

Cui Zijian thought about it seriously for a while: "A 3-minute advertisement is too long, isn't it?"

Zhuo Lin asked with a smile: "Will it be filmed into two episodes?"

Cui Zijian was dumbfounded.

Gu Kaiyan exclaimed secretly: "The advertisement is made into a series. It's a big deal."

Zhuo Lin revised the script together with them.

The background will of course be moved to Xianyun Mountain in Fujian.When the protagonist and heroine first appeared on the stage, they were twelve or thirteen-year-old young people in a mountain village. Their love turned into friendship, and the heroine relied on growing strawberries to earn money to support their family.The male protagonist left his hometown after being admitted to university, and often misses the strawberry planted by the female protagonist.

One day, he accidentally ate the "Xianyun Brand" strawberry jelly candy from his hometown, which touched his feelings, and he returned to his hometown without hesitation. .

Cui Zijian wrote the script until his arms got goosebumps.Zhuo Lin, right? It's a pity he didn't study screenwriting.

After repeatedly streamlining and revising the script, Zhuo Lin finally nodded in approval.

Next, there is the issue of male and female protagonists.

It's not difficult, the film school has everything from pretty girls to handsome guys.But Cui Zijian introduced several people, but Zhuo Lin didn't like them.It's not that the hero doesn't have that temperament, or the heroine is not beautiful and simple enough.

Gu Kaiyan was speechless: The girls at the Capital Film Academy are still not satisfied, is he looking for a fairy?
This weekend, when the three of them were interviewing the protagonist again, Ling Mei came back from school.Just after entering the door, he happened to bump into Cui Zijian who was out to work, and he froze for a moment, astonished.

It took a while to react, and a few steps flew forward and asked excitedly: "Student, which department are you from? You are also here to compete for the leading role in the commercial, right? Come with me, and I will take you there."

Lingmei explained: "No. I live here."

Cui Zijian was stunned: "Do you live here?"

Ling Mei sized him up: "Director Cui, right? Mr. Zhuo mentioned you to me."

Cui Zijian suddenly understood.

No wonder Mr. Zhuo doesn't like this one or that one.With such a fairy-like person by his side, of course I can't look down on it.

"Student, what's your name?"

-

After a while, Cui Zijian ran into the room, and said to Zhuo Lin and Gu Kaiyan, "Don't interview, don't interview. I have found the best actress."

The two asked curiously, "Who?"

Cui Zijian chuckled: "Xiao, Ling, Mei."

Zhuo Lin coughed violently.

"Who is Xiao Lingmei?" Gu Kaiyan didn't remember that there was a girl named that in the school.

"Mr. Zhuo." Cui Zijian stared at him, "There is nowhere to be found if you break through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it. You told me that there is a natural heroine like Xiao Lingmei, so I don't have to spend so much effort." He said Blinking his eyes, he slapped the table and said, "I also found the male lead."

Zhuo Lin had a bad feeling: "Who?"

"You!" Cui Zijian laughed. "Perfect match!"

Zhuo Lin stroked his forehead.

After seeing Ling Mei herself, Gu Kaiyan agreed 100% to Cui Zijian's suggestion.

"I couldn't find a more suitable actor than the two of you."

One is gentle and handsome, and the other is a celestial being descended to earth.

The two standing together are pleasing to the eye.

When Lingmei heard their request, her first reaction was to resist.

"I'm still a student. This advertisement is going to be on TV again. It's too ostentatious. It's not suitable. Mr. Zhuo, you can do it. You have an outstanding appearance and temperament, maybe you can become a hit."

Zhuo Lin laughed and couldn't help hesitating.

Cui Zijian was in a hurry: "You count the time. After the commercial is filmed, it needs to be edited and released. At least it will take a month or two. If you miss the New Year's Eve, you will lose a lot."

Gu Kaiyan also persuaded them: "It can also save two actors' fees. It's a good deal."

Zhuo Lin thought a little more: "Lingmei, you are the founder of Xianyunshan Enterprise. If you shoot the advertisement yourself, the benefits to our company should be maximized."

Cui and Gu thought they had heard wrong: the founder of the company?who?Xiao Lingmei? !

Lingmei still has concerns: "But I'm studying. It's inconvenient to come and go."

"It's okay, it's okay. The plot of the two of you will be filmed in the capital. Just edit it together afterwards." Cui Zijian hammered the final word. "That's it."

Ling Mei was driven into battle, so she took the script and studied it with Zhuo Lin.

The thought of filming an emotional scene with Zhuo Lin inevitably made Mei embarrassed.Zhuo Lin comforted her: "Just imagine me as your little bamboo horse."

When Lingmei thinks of Junxiao, her heart is sour and sweet.

Since Junxiao went to study in the United States, he has not stopped writing letters.I also bring her some small gifts from time to time.A lip balm, a skin cream, and pretty little jewelry.Of course, what he sent the most were books on agriculture and forestry.

Ling Mei couldn't help but her thoughts scattered: If he was in the capital, he would be the hero of this ad.

Gu Kaiyan quickly borrowed a studio and a camera.The two picked an auspicious day and officially started filming.

Lingmei changed into a blue cotton gown, her long hair was combed into two braids and hung on her shoulders, and a little powder was applied on her beautiful face, which already made people marvel at her natural beauty.

The appearance of adulthood, Lingmei has long hair and a shawl, and is wearing a strawberry red dress. She suddenly looks back after hearing the male lead's call.

Gu Kaiyan, who was holding the camera, had his heart beating wildly and his palms were hot: Close-up, it must be a close-up!Such a beautiful face cannot be wasted!

The heroine's plot took only two days to finish filming.The male protagonist has more roles, and it will be OVER in three days.

After the filming was successfully completed, Ling Mei changed her clothes and Zhuo Lin just walked out of the studio when a person appeared in front of them.

"Hello, both of you."

The two were slightly startled.The strange woman in front of her had a bumpy figure, her dyed yellow hair was permed into big waves, and she had an oval face, which was very beautiful.
