Huayu: When the director changed his major

Chapter 78 Give Me a Beat

After Xu Dongdong thanked Cheng Xi, the evening shooting plan began immediately.

Since the advertising copy was compiled temporarily, Cheng Xi and Dapeng also stayed here.

See how the shooting goes. If the effect does not meet your expectations, make temporary adjustments.

After struggling for a long time, we still felt that the quality of the filming was not captured.

In other words, it did not meet the requirements of Cheng Xi and Dapeng.

You have to know that this ad is to be inserted into the drama. If it doesn't fit in with the aura of "Diaosi Men", it doesn't matter if the ad is almost ineffective.

I’m afraid it will ruin the overall feeling of the show, which would be a big waste.

Finally, Cheng Xi looked at Xu Dongdong's cleavage, and memories of his later life came flooding back.

I thought of that classic line, and it also fits the movie "Diaosi Man".

So the line "I've been drinking since I was a child" was released in advance.

When the crew and Xu Dongdong heard this line, they all felt that Teacher Zuibai’s idea was absolutely amazing.

As expected of the writer of "Wanwan" and "Diaosi Nanren", his thinking process is completely different from that of ordinary people.

Listening to everyone's compliments, Cheng Xi could only sigh that the 200 million yuan spent by the Coconut Group was well worth it.

Yes, the wealthy Coconut Tree Group directly bought the advertisement in the middle position of the two episodes.

I created such a great creative advertisement for you so many years in advance. How should you thank me?
Later, Cheng Xi personally guided Xu Dongdong to strike that classic pose, with his arms wrapped around his neck from behind and holding the bottle of coconut juice with both hands.

Of course, physical contact was inevitable, but Cheng Xi swore that he did not do it on purpose.

He is still a very serious person during working hours.

It's just that he's not a human being sometimes during non-working hours.

Then Cheng Xi taught Xu Dongdong to say the classic line directly to the camera, and also used some of the lines he could remember later.

This made the filming of the commercial much faster.

After all, it was already very late, and all the filming crew members, including Cheng Xi himself, wanted to get off work early.

I'm exhausted today.

Then Xu Dongdong was photographed under different lighting, in different positions, with different coconut milk products, different styles, and multiple camera angles.

When the time comes, we can summarize these materials and let Dapeng choose the best angles.

The final edit of the two episodes' worth of material took less than twenty seconds, which should be enough.

While watching Xu Dongdong posing with Coco Tree coconut juice, Cheng Xi couldn't help but think of the Coco Tree internet celebrity KK War God who also became successful in his career.

Cheng Xi thought: I wonder how old she is now and what she is doing.

The reason why he thought so was because Cheng Xi was a live broadcaster before, and at that time he really wanted to sign KK God of War.

Of course, his purpose was very pure. He felt that KK War God was a girl who was very suitable for live streaming.

Unlike other girls, she is someone who can liven up the atmosphere in the live broadcast room without making people feel awkward.

This is called having audience appeal, which is very important in the live streaming industry.

This is the case with Zhou Shuyi, Weiqi Zhanying, etc. Audience appeal is very important, and it is one of the most important factors in whether one can become popular.

Of course, the former also has the bonus of being a teacher from an island country, which further deepens her appeal to the audience.

As for the fact that she later became a venom devourer, Cheng Xi really didn't expect that.

In the end, the attempt to sign KK War God failed because the Coconut Tree Group was too wealthy, and he couldn’t make the decision on the live broadcast company alone.

So in the end it just came to nothing.

The filming lasted until nearly 11 o'clock in the evening before we finished shooting all the materials needed for the two episodes.

The crew began to pack up and prepare to go back.

At this time, Dapeng came to Cheng Xi and said tiredly:

"Um, Mr. Zuibai, I have to go back to Sohu to edit an advertisement, so I can't join you guys."

"If it's Dongdong, just follow Mr. Zuibai and ask him to take you there. I remember you live nearby, right?"

Cheng Xi looked at Dapeng's tired face. He still had to go back to edit the film, which was indeed not easy, so he said:
"Dapeng, thank you for your hard work. We are fine here, you can go ahead and do your own thing, you don't have to take care of us."

Then Xu Dongdong also spoke:
"Teacher Dapeng has worked so hard! You should also remember to rest early after your haircut!"

After all this trouble, Cheng Xi felt embarrassed to just leave, so he took on the job of sending Xu Dongdong back home.

The Coconut Tree Group is very generous. In order to make it convenient for Xu Dongdong to shoot commercials, they helped her book a luxury suite in a nearby five-star hotel.

That's why Dapeng said that she lived nearby and asked if he could deliver it if it was convenient.

I don’t know whether Dapeng deliberately let him and Xu Dongdong chat more, or whether he saw the spark in Xu Dongdong’s eyes.

Could it be that Dapeng has also learned bad things from Mr. Zeng?
So the two of them walked and talked.

Mainly about her recent life and her transformation after the broadcast of "The Diaosi Man".

She has been very happy recently because her dream of becoming an actress seems to be about to come true.

"I'm especially grateful to Mr. Zuibai for giving me this opportunity."

After listening to her experience, Cheng Xi felt that it was indeed not easy.

The path of an actor, especially for female actors, is very cruel.

It was only through chatting that Cheng Xi found out that Xu Dongdong was actually a professional actor.

Moreover, he graduated from the 04 drama major of the PLA Academy of Arts. Cheng Xi only knew that the PLA Academy of Arts produced many handsome boys, such as Sha Yi, Yang Yang and Shen Teng.

They are all famous school idols of the PLA Art Academy.

Cheng Xi had always thought Xu Dongdong was an amateur, because it seemed that no one paid attention to her acting skills. Everyone paid attention to her career line.

Xu Dongdong then talked about how she had recently received many scripts and said that she had never been so popular before.

He said this with a smile as he squeezed towards Cheng Xi.

Feeling the soft touch on his arm, Cheng Xi felt too embarrassed to hide to the side.

People have already used their best to entertain you as a guest, so don't be so reserved.

Feeling carefully is the right way.

The two walked for about ten minutes and arrived at the hotel where Xu Dongdong was staying.

Then Cheng Xi said:
"I'll just drop you off here. It's getting late, so you should get some rest."

But just looking at Xu Dongdong's eyes, it seemed as if he had made some decision, and he said to Cheng Xi:
"Teacher Zuibai, I know you're a top screenwriter. Could you help me choose a script? I'm not very knowledgeable about this."

"Well, please send it to me."

Cheng Xi thought about it and thought that it was not easy for the little girl, so he decided to help her again.

"The scripts are all on paper. They are in the hotel. Could you please go up with me to get them?"

After Xu Dongdong said this, if Cheng Xi didn’t understand, he would be a fool.

But as a screenwriter, it's reasonable for me to help people look at the script, right?
So he nodded and agreed.

On the way to the hotel room, the two of them seemed to have a tacit understanding and did not speak.

With a "ding~" sound, the door opened.

"Teacher Zuibai, please come in."

The room that Coco Tree rented is really nice and spacious. The round bathtub in the room alone takes up more than ten to twenty square meters.

Xu Dongdong came to the table, sorted out several scripts that he thought were good, and handed them to Cheng Xi.

Just as Cheng Xi was about to leave with the script, Xu Dongdong poured Cheng Xi a glass of red wine brought by the luxury hotel.

Teacher Cheng Xi has worked hard, so why not have a glass of red wine and take a rest before going back.

There are not many scripts, so there is no need to trouble Teacher Zuibai to run around.

Cheng Xi thought about it and felt that what she said made a lot of sense. He would have to make two more trips to get it back and forth.

So Cheng Xi sat on the sofa recliner and started reading the script.

Cheng Xi flipped through the scripts roughly, and the ones given to Xu Dongdong were all stereotyped roles that showed off their bodies.

That’s right, including the role he played in his own movie “Diaosi Man”.

The script was terrible and looked particularly boring, and the lighting in the room was warm yellow. Cheng Xi, who was tired after a day of work, slowly began to droop and fell asleep.

Seeing this, Xu Dongdong did not disturb Cheng Xi. He walked quietly into the bathroom and started taking a shower.

When Cheng Xi slowly woke up, he felt his shoulders inexplicably comfortable.

It turned out that it was Xu Dongdong who was massaging his shoulders from behind.

Not only that, he also felt an indescribable softness.

I’ve been really tired recently. I even fell asleep while reading a script. I really need to exercise more!

To survive in the entertainment industry, a man must be in good health.

"Teacher Zuibai, I see you look very tired. I've learned a little bit about massage before, so I'll massage your shoulders to relax you."

When Cheng Xi heard Xu Dongdong say this, he thought that she just wanted to use me to practice massage. Since I like to help others, it should be reasonable for me to agree, right?

We're very tired today, so it's normal for the two of us to have some wine and chat.

It’s true, Xu Dongdong’s massage skills are really good.

But now her hands are stretched a little too far.
As the process progressed, the atmosphere became more and more unpredictable.

At this time, Xu Dongdong suddenly ran in front of Cheng Xidi again.

Cheng Xi took a look and saw that she was wearing a wine red chiffon pajamas, which seemed to be looming.

Then she whispered in a seductive voice:
"Teacher Zuibai, let me give you a massage to relax you. I've researched this on my own."

Is it a secret recipe? You should try it briefly.

This hotel is really grand and is worthy of being a five-star luxury suite.

There is a large round bathtub, a separate dressing room, a table, a mirror, and a toilet.

Slowly, traces were left behind.

"Dongdong, can you say 'I'll give you a beating'?"

Cheng Xi spoke as if his whole body was floating in the air, his voice trembling.

Xu Dongdong smiled charmingly when he heard this:
"Teacher Zuibai, let me teach you a lesson, okay?"

Oh, how can I not agree?

She negotiated head-on while also burying her face in her career.

This breath of fragrance is indeed refreshing.

So Cheng Xi's pace could not help but quicken.
I am really tired, and I can only relieve my fatigue by drinking tea.

At this moment, he couldn't help but think of Cao Ze's famous saying:

The only way to relieve worries is to guide them.
