The richest person in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 136 You want me to give you face again?
On April 4, in the 11 World Cup Oceania qualifiers, the Australian team slaughtered their opponents with a huge advantage of 02:31. The huge gap of 0 points also set a record for the largest split in international competitions. At the same time, Australian players also set a personal single-game goal record of 31 goals.

A youth training ground in the capital
"Where did you find these people from?" Zhang Chen looked at the group of boys in front of him who looked familiar but whose names he couldn't remember.

"Most of them were found through connections, or they are young actors with some performing experience." Li Xiaoping came today to take care of these children.

"Will Coca-Cola agree?"

It's not that it's not allowed to be a relative of the company, but Coca-Cola will have to be careful about whether it's a good fit or not.

Look at these little boys in front of me. They are all fair and clean. They don’t look like the kind of teenagers who would play football under the scorching sun at all.

"I was only responsible for giving them information about young boys of the right age who had some knowledge of football. I was also surprised that they chose this group of people in the end."

After listening to Li Xiaoping's explanation, Zhang Chen was speechless.

But the financial sponsor was Coca-Cola, and he was only responsible for writing songs and cooperating with the filming. He really had no say in the specific casting.

Fortunately, he saw a child who should be from South America, and he felt a little comforted.

"What's your name?" Zhang Chen squatted down and looked at the little boy who was less than 4 meters tall.

"You can call me Neymar." Neymar was still a little excited when facing the big star Zhang Chen, and kept pulling the corners of his clothes with both hands.

After hearing his self-introduction, Zhang Chen confirmed his guess.

This is the last dancer of the Samba Army.

"What about you? What's your name?" Zhang Chen asked Neymar, looking at a little boy next to him who looked Asian.

"My name is Wu Lei."

"What about you?"

When Zhang Chen started asking about their ages, the group of little boys gathered around him and Zhang Chen could only ask them one by one.

"My name is."

"My name is Lu Han!" This self-introduction was particularly loud.

Zhang Chen looked in the direction of the voice and saw a fair-skinned, handsome little boy.

Is this the one who "fired at me"?
This guy's acting skills
"Can you play football?" Zhang Chen couldn't help but ask.

"I can! I like watching football games, too!" Lu Han felt that his idol was doubting him, and hurriedly explained.

Forget it. We don’t expect these little guys to be very good at playing football. There are only a few scenes of them playing football in the commercial. There are plenty of opportunities to give them another chance. At worst, we can just shoot a few more takes.

"Leon, we are all ready, can we start?" The director invited by Coca-Cola is Chris Columbus, who is also an acquaintance of Zhang Chen.

The two had several exchanges when casting for "Harry Potter".

"Chris, I'm ready to start anytime."

"Then let's start with the simplest scene and get used to the rhythm."

After Chris finished speaking, he asked the assistant director to notify each department to prepare for filming.

"nervous?"

After Chris left, Zhang Chen looked at Liu Yifei, who seemed a little embarrassed, and asked.

The entire commercial is approximately 5 minutes long.

Most of the scenes are of children from all continents and all colors running to the football field from all directions and playing football.

During the half-time break, I would go to the nearby store to buy iced Coca-Cola.

The young players had to drink Coke in front of the canteen.

Liu Yifei is the sales girl, and her exposure shot is about 10 seconds.

The other one is Jing Tian. "Tian Tian, do you remember what you are going to do?" Jing Tian has even fewer shots, just a side profile of him handing towels to the young players, which lasts about three seconds.

"Yeah!" Jingtian nodded heavily.

Before Zhang Chen could continue to help the young players calm down, Chris took the baton and started announcing:
"All departments get ready, 23rd shot, first time, action!"

"Leon, your lip movements didn't match. Let's do another one. Everyone, raise your hands higher and act happier!"

"Crystal, stop looking at Leon! You're treating him like a passerby!"

"Hey, whoever it is, put some mud on that fair and clean little boy's face. He's too clean!"

The time for the commercial shoot passed quickly, and a week went by in the blink of an eye. For all the actors, the most difficult part of the shoot was running outdoors in short-sleeved shirts and shorts in the April weather.

During this period, you will also need to get wet in the rain and wade through mud.

Fortunately, each shot is not long, and after each shooting is completed, the logistics team composed of Morning Light Entertainment will also take measures to keep the actors warm.

In addition to the scenes of the football field and the convenience store, Zhang Chen personally also needs to go to some places with better scenery to shoot some scenes of singing.

These images will be interspersed throughout the advertisement, showcasing Asia's unique style to football fans around the world.

One day during the filming, the crew welcomed an unexpected guest.

"Zhang Chen, arrange the players of our team to appear in the advertisement." The man came in a domineering tone, as if asking Zhang Chen to do things according to the rules.

"Who are you?" Zhang Chen looked at the person sideways.

"I'm."

"Oh, you are not important." Zhang Chen interrupted him directly, "Xiao Xue, don't let any cats and dogs in."

"Zhang Chen! Do you know who you are talking to?" The man was a little exasperated.

"Xiao Xue, see you off!"

Even though Zhang Chen didn't know the person's name, he could guess where he was from.

He didn't want to have anything to do with any of them.

It is true that he was shooting a promotional advertisement for the World Cup, but it has nothing to do with them.

"Okay, okay, you are so young but you don't know how to respect your elders. Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you have achieved a little success."

Before he could finish his words, the bodyguard Brother Wang, who had rushed over after hearing the news, "politely" asked him to leave Zhang Chen's lounge.

After the lounge returned to calm, Xue Yining said with some concern: "Boss, it's not a good idea to treat him like this."

"Don't worry about him. If he doesn't give us face, then we don't have to give him face either."

"Besides, we are not on the same path to begin with, so why bother with him?"

He is in charge of football, how can he manage the cultural industry himself?

"But after all"

"Xiao Xue, face should be given to each other. If he came to me to ask for help, I might consider giving them a few shots to deal with it. But since he came to me, I have been very polite."

Zhang Chen just treated this matter as a minor episode and didn't take it to heart at all.

But sometimes the wind wants to calm down but the trees don’t stop.

"Zhang Chen, someone passed the message and asked us to give him some face."

　Chapter 2 is here. Some daily or shooting details really cannot be omitted, otherwise I would find that the protagonist is either receiving an award or on the way to receive an award.
