Chapter 33, Fate, Wonderful
"I'll drive it."

"Do you have a mainland driver's license?"

"Yes, I have driving licenses from Mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and an international driving license. I used to travel a lot, and it was inconvenient to travel without a driving license. I also lived in Yanjing for a while, so I am quite familiar with the roads in the city."

Shen Lang looked up to Du Ting even more.

At first he wondered why Chen Yaochuan assigned him a Hong Kong agent. Firstly, the communication was a little poor, and secondly, the agent was not familiar with the mainland circle.

It turned out that he was worrying too much. Chen Yaochuan had already thought of all this and made clear arrangements for him.

"Filming commercials and doing endorsements will play a big role in your career advancement at this stage. The two commercials you are going to shoot this week are both good. As you know, our company is just starting out in the mainland, so we have fewer resources. But don't worry, we are in talks with three big brands for endorsements, and there will be news soon."

Today's job is to shoot a commercial.

Chen Yaochuan gave Shen Lang the best treatment, and it was certainly not just talk. There would be no shortage of resources in the company in the future.

As an agent, although Du Ting has a basic salary, she gets more commission and also looks for various resources.

"I have a request."

Shen Lang has his own ideas and plans, including advertising, endorsements, and variety shows: "Don't take every advertisement and endorsement. First, you need to fully understand the product's qualifications, quality, market reputation, and other information. Then, ask the brand for the product to try out and ensure the authenticity and compliance of the endorsed product..."

Is this so professional? Du Ting was stunned and asked, "Are you afraid of problems?"

Shen Lang did not elaborate, only said: "It is better to be safe than sorry. I have just debuted and have not built up a good reputation. If I am not careful, all my previous efforts will go to waste."

Indeed, a successful brand can enhance a star’s popularity, influence and commercial value, and help create emotional resonance between the star and his or her fans.

However, once a brand fails, it will have a great impact on the celebrity's image.

Since we have a prophet, we can avoid whatever can be avoided.

He loves money, but he makes it in a legitimate way and never does anything against his conscience.

Du Ting talked with Shen Lang for an hour, and her impression and appreciation of him continued to grow. It was hard to imagine that this was a 22-year-old newcomer who had just debuted for a few months, but was more skilled than many veterans in the entertainment industry: "Okay, I will select the subsequent advertisements and endorsements according to your requirements."

Half an hour later, we arrived at a photo studio.

The first advertisement was for Uni-President Green Tea.

The five musketeers of advertising in this era are toothpaste, shampoo, beverages, instant noodles and pig feed.

Uni-President is a big brand with good quality and reputation.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Shen, please take a rest here for a while. The actress who will shoot this commercial with you hasn't arrived yet." The director said with a smile.

"Should I say something? If so, please recite it to me first." Shen Lang asked.

"There are a few sentences. I'll ask someone to bring them to you," the director replied.

"Mr. Shen, this is your slogan." A girl came up to him.

"Thank you." Shen Lang said with a smile.

There were only four sentences, with less than 50 words in total. With Shen Lang's super memory, he remembered them after reading them twice. But when he saw the girl, he asked, "What's the matter?"

The girl glanced at the director who was directing the arrangement of the filming location in the distance, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I'm your fan, I like your songs very much, can... can you sign an autograph for me?"

When Shen Lang heard this, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Of course."

He took the paper and pen from the girl and signed his artistic signature on it in a flamboyant manner.

The girl was very happy to get the autograph of her favorite singer. She carefully put it away and said, "Thank you."

Du Ting, who was standing by, looked at her watch and was about to say that being late was not a trivial matter.

A girl rushed in breathlessly, "Director, I'm sorry, I'm late."

Hearing a familiar voice, Shen Lang looked up and said in surprise: "Yuanyuan!"

The girl was Gao Yuanyuan. Seeing Shen Lang was there, she trotted over to him and asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"

"We're here to shoot a commercial." Shen Lang shook the Uni-President Green Tea in his hand and said with a smile, "The director said that the actress who will be shooting with me won't be you, right?"

Gao Yuanyuan raised the corners of her mouth and asked, "Hehe, is it my fault?"

Shen Lang blinked at her and said with a smile: "That's good, it's best to keep the wealth within the family."

Hearing this, Gao Yuanyuan's cheeks flushed and she changed the subject, "When did you arrive?"

Shen Lang raised his eyebrows and said, "What are you talking about? You're so late. I'm getting sleepy waiting for you."

Gao Yuanyuan stuck out her tongue cutely and explained, "The car I took broke down on the way, and I waited for a long time before I could stop another car."

Shen Lang didn't wait long, and since he was waiting for her, he didn't say anything else. He just said, "Yanjing City is big, but it's also small. I always run into you."

Gao Yuanyuan smiled sweetly and said, "This is fate."

The reason why Uni-President Advertising Department asked them to shoot this advertisement.

One is because of Shen Lang’s current popularity.

Another reason was that he was attracted by Gao Yuanyuan's beautiful image as a "clean mouth girl". "I forgot to introduce you, this is my agent Du Ting, Sister Du, and this is my good friend, the non-famous actress Gao Yuanyuan."

"Hello, Miss Du."

"Hello, pretty girl."

Gao Yuanyuan, with her exquisite shoulder-length hair, delicate makeup, fair skin and a white dress, caught Du Ting's eye.

She has been in the entertainment industry for more than ten years and has seen too many female celebrities from Mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Gao Yuanyuan's beauty is not stunning, but she has a very unique temperament, gentle, sweet and fresh, giving people a feeling like a spring breeze, especially comfortable.

With her professional vision and career acumen, it is certain that Gao Yuanyuan will have a bright future in the entertainment industry.

At this time, the director saw Gao Yuanyuan arrived and wanted to scold her, but when he saw that she knew Shen Lang, he stopped immediately and said, "Mr. Shen, Ms. Gao, let's have a simple rehearsal first."

Studio photography, green background.

Shen Lang and Gao Yuanyuan sat side by side.

Gao Yuanyuan: "What do you think is on the other side of the lake?"

Shen Lang: "There is a mountain across the way. There is a large forest on the mountain, and there are fresh dewdrops on the leaves."

Gao Yuanyuan: "Then, what is a lake?"

Shen Lang: "It's also fresh."

Gao Yuanyuan: "Then, what am I?"

Shen Lang: "You are my freshness."

Gao Yuanyuan: "I came quietly, just like I took a sip of Uni-President Green Tea quietly."

Shen Lang held a bottle of Uni-President Green Tea. After the commercial ended, he took a few sips. After swallowing, he made a refreshing expression to the camera and said, "Uni-President Green Tea, get close to nature."

"Okay!" The director clapped his hands and said, "Mr. Shen, Ms. Gao, you guys act according to this, and we'll start shooting."

Shen Lang and Gao Yuanyuan nodded.

It's too simple.

It’s much easier than shooting a music video.

"Photographer, lighting engineer, sound engineer..."

"Prepare……"

"start!"

Shen Lang and Gao Yuanyuan maintained the same rhythm.

A loving conversation.

A crisp and pleasant advertising slogan.

Perfect ending!

But before Shen Lang and Gao Yuanyuan could be happy, they heard the director shout, "Ms. Gao, please smile a little sweeter. Let's do another one."

Gao Yuanyuan responded: "Okay, director."

After another take, the director looked at the monitor, shook his head, and shouted, "Mr. Shen, open the first button of your shirt, and tilt your head slightly when you drink the drink so that the camera can capture the picture of your Adam's apple rolling."

Shen Lang nodded and said, "No problem."

Just like that, various problems arose during the shooting of a simple 30-second advertisement.

“Why is there a black line in the upper left corner of the green screen?”

"Where did the noise just now come from?"

"Brighten the light!"

Good guy.

One after another.

Gao Yuanyuan was fine, she just said the words and didn't need to drink the beverage.

Shen Lang took a few big gulps at a time and has already finished two bottles.

"Good, perfect." The director was finally satisfied and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Shen, Ms. Gao."

Shen Lang frowned slightly and asked, "Where is your bathroom?"

The director smiled awkwardly and pointed, "Just turn left and walk a few steps and you'll be there."
