Huayu: Traffic is king

Chapter 55 Game Endorsement
On the first day of the holiday, Gu Jingyi was woken up at eight o'clock in the morning by his agent who opened the door with a spare key.

"Gu Jingyi, get up quickly. We have a lot of schedules today, and if you don't get up now, the filming will be delayed."

Seeing that Gu Jingyi was still a little confused, Lin Ze directly took the quilt away.

"Okay...I'll get up now."

The warm quilt was taken away, and the cold air touched his skin. Gu Jingyi's tiredness was instantly swept away. He got up, washed up, and got into the nanny car.

The driver had been waiting there for a long time. As soon as Gu Jingyi got in the car, he opened the thermos and took a sip of hot coffee.

"A Chinese Ghost Story" has released a PC game, and Gu Jingyi, who has been extremely popular and talked about recently, is the spokesperson who best meets the game's requirements.

Gu Jingyi was born in Huace and has a close relationship with Kiwi. Her looks are also among the best, and she was early on featured in the top five women's magazines by the blue-blooded luxury brand Dior.

No one doubts that Gu Jingyi cannot become the next top star.

As soon as the big IP game "A Chinese Ghost Story" backed by a big company was released, Gu Jingyi was selected from a long list of spokesperson candidates.

Today, Gu Jingyi went to shoot the micro-film "A Chinese Ghost Story".

The wealthy "pig factory" directly produced a micro-film of more than ten minutes to promote the game. Through soft product placement, it promoted the game to the audience.

Gu Jingyi will play a doctor, and the story develops with his female partner who plays a patient around the game "A Chinese Ghost Story".

He continues the setting of "A Little Thing Called First Love" and is still a doctor. He begins a wonderful love affair with a patient named Xuyu, who is addicted to games and often forgets herself.

The plot is a bit clichéd, but it is well-made.

At the end of January 2018, few people would make short films to promote upcoming games.

In addition, Gu Jingyi will also need to livestream the game when it is first released. He will need to go to a recording studio to record his game voice, which will be included in the official WeChat account as a "hidden benefit."

Only players with sufficient activity can hear Gu Jingyi's voice.

As expected of a major gaming company, the process is complicated and they are well versed in fan culture.

When we arrived at the shooting location, the makeup artist was already waiting there.

When Gu Jingyi first entered the venue, he greeted the staff, exchanged a few simple words, and then sat on a chair waiting for the makeup artist to do his makeup.

The makeup artist was very professional and didn't even bother to talk to Gu Jingyi during the whole process. Gu Jingyi also happened to be resting his eyes, so he closed his eyes and quietly accepted the makeup artist's care.

About thirty minutes later, when all the makeup and looks for the photoshoot were ready, Gu Jingyi stood up, thanked him, and walked towards the studio.

There were about twenty people in the studio, all busy setting up the venue and debugging the equipment. Gu Jingyi nodded and greeted each staff member who looked at him, then walked up to the photographer responsible for this advertising shoot.

Another protagonist of this advertising shoot is Bai Lu, who greeted Gu Jingyi with a smile when she saw him coming.

"Wow, you're 'Jiang Chen', right? I've been seeing you on social media a lot lately, and I've been voting for you every day on 'Idol Producer'."

Bai Lu, another protagonist of this advertising shoot, stood beside the photographer and greeted Gu Jingyi with a smile.

At this time, she was still playing supporting roles to Wu Jinyan. Her career was still in its infancy, and she was only able to participate in the New Year's Eve concert.

Being able to shoot an advertisement with Gu Jingyi is already a very good resource.

"Hello, Gu Jingyi."

Gu Jingyi smiled and greeted her, and the photographer said:

"Okay, now our leading actors and actresses have met today. They've also finished their makeup, so we should be able to start filming soon."

The photography teacher looked to be in his forties and had a kind smile on his face.

"It's fine on my end."

Gu Jingyi said.

He had changed into a doctor's attire and was wearing a stethoscope.

"Me too!"

The white deer grinned.

Next came the final preparation stage before filming. Gu Jingyi sat quietly aside and adjusted his shooting state.

He closed his eyes and immersed himself in the plot, trying his best to ignore the footsteps of the staff moving back and forth in the studio to set up the scene. He followed the photographer to the camera position and made the gesture of entering the scene.

Gu Jingyi also entered the venue wearing a white coat.

In the dim corridor, footsteps were heard.

The camera starts with the leather shoes and then extends upwards as the scene changes.

Finally, the shot was directed to Gu Jingyi's face, and a close-up shot was taken of his face.

"Good morning, Doctor Gu."

A voiceover sounded, and his colleagues greeted him, and Gu Jingyi nodded.
He pushed open a door and walked to the bed.

"Xuyu, what's your temperature?"

Gu Jingyi opened the work log and prepared to record.

After waiting for a long time without hearing any response, Gu Jingyi raised his head and frowned and continued to urge:
"Whisper? What's your temperature?"

Still no one answered, so he opened the quilt. As expected, there was no one there, only a teddy bear.

The camera also turned to the wall, where a portrait of Gu Jingyi, a cute version of himself, was pasted. A label read, "No Games Allowed."

Someone deliberately added a modification to that label, "No games allowed."

The background of the story has gradually become clear, and the patient seems to have a somewhat eccentric personality.

"It's not hiding under the bed, is it?"

A nurse pushing a cart passed by and noticed Gu Jingyi's stunned look and reminded him.

"She's been here all these years, do you think she'd still be hiding under the bed?"

Gu Jingyi put the pen in the pocket of his white coat and walked out with the work log.

His self-narration also echoed, "I have a strange female patient who is very troublesome."

"It's always the patients who look for doctors, but as a doctor, I'm always looking for patients."

Gu Jingyi walked to the corridor and followed him. Other doctors and patients passing by also made gestures to remind Gu Jingyi where the person he was looking for was hiding.

Press the elevator button and follow the prompts.

Gu Jingyi found "Xu Yu" in the lounge.

She sat in the ocean ball, bent her legs and played games with two children.

Gu Jingyi pursed his lips, pulled her ear and asked her to go back to the ward.

There are too many mysteries surrounding Xuyu, and only as the plot slowly unfolds do the mysteries become clear.

It turns out that Gu Jingyi is a player and Xuyu is just a game NPC.

Bai Lu’s crying scenes are still as powerful as ever, even the immature version in 18 is still gripping enough.

At the end of the story, Gu Jingyi traveled through mountains and rivers to see the white deer.

The two met in a snowy mountain, and Bai Lu recognized him with tears in her eyes.

Gu Jingyi's voice rang out again, "I used to not believe in relationships in games, but now I do. We play and joke around like real couples, and occasionally we worry about little things at home."

"Finally, I don't have to rush to find you, because I believe everything will be fine in the end."

The more than 7-minute micro-film ended here with a "Cut"!
After Gu Jingyi finished filming and exchanged WeChat with Bai Lu, he got on the studio's car and went to the recording studio.

He also needs to proceed to the next step, recording the voice.

After endorsing "A Chinese Ghost Story", he earned 500 million yuan after tax after sharing the profits with the company. This amount is indeed a considerable income for a child born in a middle-class family.

Gu Jingyi's promotional advertisement and audio recording today lasted until 5:30 in the afternoon.
