I am a director, but I have the skills of an actor

Chapter 185 Liu Yifei

"Wan Dao!"

"Miss Liu, how are you?"

Wan Qingshan looked at the graceful Liu Yifei and was very surprised. Liu Yifei is very popular now!
"Legend of Sword and Fairy" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", two popular TV series, instantly made her the dream lover of many male viewers. This year she became the first Golden Eagle Goddess.

But her fame is still not as good as that of Si Dan Shuang Bing Yili. Why did Piaget Company choose her to be the image ambassador of China District?

Could it be because her biological father, An Shaokang, who was a diplomat, helped?
As for her godfather Chen Jinfei's help, Wan Qingshan didn't believe it. With Chen Jinfei's wealth and background, it would be okay to find some film and television resources for Liu Yifei, but I'm afraid she doesn't have the capital to become a brand spokesperson for Piaget Watch.

"Director Wan, Yifei is still young and doesn't understand many things. Please forgive me if she does anything wrong during the filming."

Liu Xiaoli's words made Wan Qingshan frown slightly. This was the second time he saw Liu Xiaoli and the second time he heard her say such words.

"You are such a good mother. Last year, you held a coming-of-age ceremony at the State Guesthouse, and you even took care of your daughter as a child."

Wan Qingshan muttered in his heart and said with a smile, "It's just an advertisement, not that much attention to detail."

As soon as Wan Qingshan finished speaking, the door of the conference room was opened, and a group of people from Earl's company walked in. One of them made Wan Qingshan a little dumbfounded.

After the Earl's company greeted them, everyone sat down.

Then, Wan Qingshan asked the person sitting next to him in a low voice,
"Director Zhang, what is this?"

Zhang Yimou smiled with his face full of wrinkles and replied in a low voice, "I'm here to shoot a commercial and make some extra money."

Wan Qingshan was a little dumbfounded. Although Zhang Yimou had shot advertisements for Vios before, wasn't Zhang Yimou busy with the Olympics now?
How much money did the Earl Company pay, so that Zhang Yimou could actually squeeze out time to shoot commercials, and Zhang Yimou was so happy that he didn't even hide it, he just said it was for money.

"Both of you, the company hired a Hollywood screenwriter to write several scripts for promotional short films.

The company has decided on the promotional video for the Huaxia District.I hope you two can help me take a look at the promotional short films from around the world and choose the one you think is most suitable from these three scripts. "

What people from the Earl Company said to Wan Qingshan and Zhang Yimou made Liu Xiaoli and Liu Yifei on the side very embarrassed.

This makes it clear that the promotional videos in China are not taken seriously by the people in the Earl Company.

Wan Qingshan took the three scripts and handed two of them to Zhang Yimou. He flipped through the script in his hand and started reading.

After Wan Qingshan and Zhang Yimou read the three scripts, Zhang Yimou spread the three scripts on the table and said with a smile, "Director Wan, let's choose at the same time to see if we choose the same one."

"Okay."

Then, Wan Qingshan and Zhang Yimou reached for the middle script at the same time.

"Director Zhang, it seems we have the same vision this time." Wan Qingshan retracted his hand and said with a smile.

"Haha, that's better, we don't have to discuss it anymore."

"OK, since you two have chosen the same script, let's use this script."

The people from Earl's company turned to Liu Yifei and said, "Ms. Liu, the promotional video for the Chinese region will not be filmed until the promotional video for the global region is completed.

After the company holds a press conference in the afternoon, you can go back first, or you can wait here.If you wait here, the company will arrange a hotel for you. "

Liu Yifei turned to look at Liu Xiaoli. Upon seeing this, Liu Xiaoli sighed in her heart and said, "Let's wait here!"

"OK, the company will arrange a hotel for you."

It was almost noon now. The people from Earl's company said a few polite words and had lunch with a few people.

Not long after the meal, the press conference held by Earl's company began.

Because Wan Qingshan had previously become the global spokesperson for Piaget Company, and this time Piaget Company invited reporters on the basis that Wan Qingshan would shoot a global promotional video, so most of the reporters who came were entertainment reporters.

After the reporter waited in the lobby for a while, people from Earl's company and Wanqingshan's group came out.

The reporter was immediately dumbfounded, why are Liu Yifei and Zhang Yimou here!
After a group of people came on stage, someone from the Earl Company said into the microphone,

"Everyone, the company will invite Ms. Liu Yifei to be the company's image ambassador in China. At the same time, Ms. Liu Yifei and Mr. Wan Qingshan will be invited to star in a promotional video for China.

The company's promotional videos in China and around the world are all directed by director Zhang Yimou. "

This statement surprised all the reporters. Didn't Zhang Yimou say before that he would prepare for the Olympics with peace of mind in the next two years?Why do you still have time to shoot a promotional video?

Also, how could Liu Yifei be the spokesperson for the Earl in China?
The reporter was so curious about these two things that when reporters asked questions later, they all directed them at Zhang Yimou and Liu Yifei.

"Director Zhang, if you take over the filming of Piaget Company's promotional video, will it affect the preparations for the Olympic opening ceremony?"

"Please rest assured that the filming of the promotional video will not affect the Olympic opening ceremony."

"Director Zhang, what can you do to reassure everyone?"

“Because Earl Company has already prepared all the preliminary work, and I think everyone should trust Director Wan’s acting skills.

Therefore, as long as Director Wan performs normally, the global promotional video can be shot in a day or two.The promotional video for the Huaxia District will also be shot within a few days, which will not delay preparations for the Olympic opening ceremony. "

Wan Qingshan frowned immediately.

Zhang Yimou pulled him out and assured everyone that if the Olympic opening ceremony did not go well, some viewers would definitely blame Zhang Yimou for filming a promotional video for Earl, and he would also be scolded accordingly.

After Zhang Yimou answered this, the reporter could not continue to ask, so he turned to ask Liu Yifei.

"Miss Liu Yifei, how did you receive the endorsement as the image ambassador of Earl China?"

"You have to ask Earl Company about this. I don't know either." Liu Yifei replied according to Liu Xiaoli's previous instructions.

This answer left the reporter unable to ask any more questions. He could only ask people from the Piaget Company. Then the people from the Piaget Company praised Liu Yifei and said that Liu Yifei was very suitable for Piaget Watches, so they asked her to serve as the manager of the China District. Ambassador.

Throughout the entire press conference, almost no questions were directed at Wan Qingshan. It was so relaxed that Wan Qingshan was still a little uncomfortable.

After the press conference, Wan Qingshan complained to Zhang Yimou.

"Director Zhang, what you just said hurt me. If something happens, I will be scolded by people all over the country."

Zhang Yimou looked at the people in Earl's company in front of him and whispered, "Director Wan, don't worry, nothing will happen.

To tell you the truth, the contract I signed with Earl Company has a time limit, and I will only shoot for five days.

After five days, whether the filming is finished or not, I will return to the Olympic team, so don't worry. "

The doubts in Wan Qingshan's heart were instantly solved. He had heard Zhang Yimou talk about making extra money before, and he had been thinking in his mind that Zhang Yimou is not so greedy for money. He is so greedy that he is not afraid of delaying the opening of the Olympic Games and is not afraid of being scolded by the people across the country. It turns out that There is a time limit.

Because Zhang Yimou's contract has a time limit, and Zhang Yimou also wanted to finish the shooting as soon as possible, after the press conference, Wan Qingshan went with Zhang Yimou, as well as the photographers and lighting technicians hired by Earl's company. Go to Shangying.

The promotional short script selected by Wan Qingshan and Zhang Yimou at the same time was only 2 minutes, and the plot of these 2 minutes was very concise.

Wan Qingshan wears a Piaget watch and feels as if he is traveling through time and space. After more than 100 years of development of Piaget watches, the world's first manual winding ultra-thin movement was launched, and the world's thinnest automatic winding movement was launched. These are major experiences.

These scenes could not be found in reality, so they had to be shot on a green screen, and the scenes relied on post-production special effects.

For Wan Qingshan, this kind of plot shooting was easy to perform even if he didn't have time to experience it in his dreams. He just stood there, looked at the camera, and made expressions of surprise from time to time.

Because it was too simple, the shoot was completed in one and a half days.

For the subsequent special effects production, Zhang Yimou only needs to tell Shanghai Film's special effects company what effect he wants, and he will come and take a look at it after the finished film is released.

The filming of the global promotional video was very simple, but for the promotional video in China, Wan Qingshan frowned after reading the script.

"Director Zhang, can this kiss scene be shot in a different position?"

The plot of the Chinese promotional video is a bit bloody. At the party, Wan Qingshan and Liu Yifei looked at each other differently because they both wore Piaget watches, and then the two went on a date, which ended with a kiss.

"Haha, Director Wan, you are also a director, do you think this can be shot out of position?"

Wan Qingshan sighed helplessly. He also knew that at the end, he and Liu Yifei had to touch each other's faces with their hands wearing watches to kiss. This was a close-up shot and there was no way to shoot it out of position.But he still asked Zhang Yimou with a glimmer of hope to see if Zhang Yimou could do anything.

"Humph!"

Liu Yifei, who was flipping through the script over there, snorted dissatisfiedly. When she saw the kiss scene, she was also a little resistant.

But none of her women asked for misplaced filming. Wan Qingshan asked first if they could take misplaced shots.

After knowing that she couldn't, Wan Qingshan was still very disappointed, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

"Yifei!"

"Director Wan, Director Zhang, I'm sorry, Yifei is not sensible, please forgive me."

"Yifei, apologize to Director Wan and Director Zhang quickly."

"I don't!" Liu Yifei glanced at Wanqing Mountain, wrinkled her nose, and raised her head.

Liu Xiaoli suddenly became anxious, raised her voice and yelled, "Yifei!"

"Ms. Liu, Ms. Liu, I said the wrong thing just now. It's not Ms. Liu's place to apologize. It's my fault that I should apologize."

When Liu Xiaoli saw Liu Yifei's triumphant smile, she sighed again in her heart, and then she smiled at Wan Qingshan,

"Director Wan, thank you for your understanding. Yifei is not sensible yet and just acted presumptuously."

"Ms. Liu, I just said the wrong thing."

Wan Qingshan's eyes moved to Liu Yifei, "Miss Liu, I'm sorry, I just said the wrong thing."

"It's okay, it's okay." Liu Yifei smiled happily and replied in a serious manner.

When Wan Qingshan and Zhang Yimou saw this, they couldn't help laughing.

Seeing this, Liu Xiaoli frowned and sighed in her heart, "It seems like it's time to give it a try. Otherwise, what will happen in the future if this continues."

After this episode, Wan Qingshan did not mention whether the script could be changed.

It was hard for Liu Yifei to mention it. Her behavior just now made her embarrassed to mention it.

No one mentioned it, so the script was decided.

Soon, a group of people arrived at the shooting location—the hotel lobby decorated like a party.

The crew was preparing, while Wan Qingshan and Liu Yifei walked to the dressing room.

When turning another corner, Wanqingshan turned to the side.

Liu Yifei glanced sideways, her eyes full of curiosity.

When she wanted to ask, Liu Xiaoli on the side quickly stopped her and pulled Liu Yifei quickly towards the dressing room.

In the corner, Wan Qingshan took out his mobile phone and called Chen Yumo.

"Qingshan, you should be filming commercials now, right? Why did you call me?"

"Uh, uh, um, Yumo, let me tell you first, there is a kissing scene in this advertisement."

After waiting for a few seconds, Chen Yumo's laughter came from the phone.

"Hey, just kiss, you don't have to tell me.

You don’t remember, but I told reporters that you are a man filming an intimate scene, so you won’t suffer, and I’m not worried. "

"Stop making trouble, I'm telling you something serious."

On the phone, Chen Yumo's tone suddenly changed, becoming gentle and sincere.

"Qingshan, when we were filming "The Golden Armor", you reported it to me because of the intimate scene, and now you report it to me.

I'm very touched that you can think so much for me.But you don’t have to tell me about this kind of thing in the future.

If you have changed your mind towards me, then this kind of reporting is just pretending, and then I don’t need you to pretend with me.

If you haven't changed your mind, then this kind of reporting is even more unnecessary. It means you don't believe that I will believe you. "

Wan Qingshan was stunned for a moment and said with a smile, "Okay, I won't report to you anymore, but you must not get jealous and cause trouble again.

What you said to reporters on the set last time caused some people to scold me online. "

After Chen Yumo's words were reported by reporters, there was a discussion on the Internet about what Chen Yumo said: men don't suffer in intimate scenes!
Wan Qingshan had long known that Chen Yumo's words would be hotly discussed after they were reported.

He was worried that the incident would have too much impact, so after the reporter left, he asked Chen Chen to keep an eye on the Internet.

Chen Chen saw that the online discussion was too heated, and it was all about gender equality, so he immediately called Wan Qingshan.

Therefore, Wan Qingshan asked Li Yancheng to organize a group of trolls to direct the conversation to him, scolding him for not allowing Chen Yumo to have an intimate scene with an actor, while he did an intimate scene with an actress.

This move caused him a lot of scolding, and many people are still scolding him online.

"Hey, okay, I won't mess around anymore."

"Then I won't tell you anymore. I will start filming soon."

"Okay, hang up then."

After hanging up the phone, Wan Qingshan quickly walked into the dressing room.

Soon, Wan Qingshan put on a dark blue suit, had a slicked back hair, and walked out of the dressing room wearing a Piaget watch.

After a while, Liu Yifei, who put on a white dress and a Countess watch, came out of the dressing room.

After Liu Yifei came out, she went to Wanqingshan at the urging of Liu Xiaoli.

"Director Wan, could you please help me correct my lines?"

Liu Yifei's polite words made Wan Qingshan couldn't help but glance at Liu Xiaoli who was standing aside.

"No problem, I just want to ask you to review the lines."

Suddenly, Liu Yifei's eyes curled up like crescent moons and she smiled.

Then, after a while, Wan Qingshan couldn't help but murmur in his heart.

"She goes to school at Nortel, doesn't she have any classes at all?"

There were only two lines for the party, and it was very easy to memorize them. Liu Yifei didn't say that she couldn't even memorize these two lines.

But when Liu Yifei read her lines, it was too bland and there was no emotion in it.

Wan Qingshan thought that if she said her lines like this, she would definitely not be able to pass Zhang Yimou's test.

So, listening to Liu Yifei's line, "You also use a Piaget watch!", Wan Qingshan couldn't help but said,

"Wait a minute, when you said this line, it was too plain. Your tone should have a sense of surprise and recognition."

Liu Yifei was stunned for a moment and said blankly, "I brought a sense of surprise!"

Wan Qingshan was dumbfounded, and then he didn't care. Anyway, the shooting was not going well, and the one who was most worried was Zhang Yimou. Let Zhang Yimou take care of this problem.
