Huayu 1995

Chapter 100: It's Your Coconut Tree! (Bonus Chapter 16 for First Subscription)

"I'll go change my clothes first, then we'll go over the plot together."

While in the car, Zhang Guoli had already discussed the plot design of the advertisement with Su Chao.

Su Chao gave some suggestions regarding the dialogue.

He discovered that the system's claim of not being able to remember any of his past works did not mean it would completely destroy him.

At the very least, the system doesn't care about small things like advertisements.

With his memories from his previous life, he could easily come up with some advertising tricks, which would be a game-changer for Zhang Guoli.

Why the hell don't you become an advertising planner?!

In this advertisement, Su Chao plays a young man selling drinks and desserts from a mobile beverage and dessert cart.

Qu Ying came to buy things.

The coconut trees naturally ended up in the frame.

Qu Ying is a veteran actress, so understanding these things has no problem at all.

However, she had other things she was curious about.

"Why are you the one giving me acting instructions? Isn't the director Brother Guoli?"

"The plot was his idea..."

Zhang Guoli felt somewhat helpless.

It's incredibly embarrassing to admit you're not as good as other men in front of a beautiful woman.

"You can even write stories?"

Qu Ying thought Su Chao was a good-for-nothing. She didn't know why, but almost all the handsome men she had met were good-for-nothings.

“I understand a little bit~”

Su Chao is still quite reserved.

I don't know what's wrong with Li Yapeng, all the women he dates are flat-chested.

How do you plan to film it?

Perhaps due to a lack of family education, Qu Ying started working at a relatively young age, making her more direct compared to Jiang Qinqin.

"Can you ride a skateboard?" Su Chao asked.

The brand required the advertisement to project a youthful and energetic image, primarily targeting a young demographic.

Skateboarding is youthful and energetic.

A bright and stylish short-haired punk girl, riding a skateboard into the frame, definitely has a great vibe.

Moreover, the prop vehicle already contains the necessary items, so there's no need to search for a skateboard separately.

"Of course~"

Qu Ying answered very decisively.

That makes things easier. Just like this morning, we'll rehearse once more.

They'll rehearse with just the two of them for now.

The extras will appear in the shot later when the actual filming begins.

Unlike the morning shoot, this time it was an outdoor shoot, and some extras were also arranged as passersby.

They were mostly staff members.

Lu Bu also joined in to make up the numbers.

There's no pay, but everyone can share the drinks on the bus later.

The brand representative, a middle-aged man with a receding hairline, didn't say much this time.

But he followed along the whole time, like a silent overseer.

They didn't offer much guidance on the specific details of the advertisement.

Leave the content-related matters to the professionals; the main focus should be on verifying the final presentation.

Whether it's the brand or someone from the brand.

They all look very serious.

It's hard to imagine this brand going down an extravagant path in the future.

However, despite its extravagance, the aesthetic sense is still on point.

Along with South Korean chaebols, Tokyo fashion shows, and Shanxi coal bosses, it is known as one of the four major aesthetic standards.

It blows away that art academy.

Qu Ying approached on her scooter.

No wonder she can be a model, and a supermodel at that; her figure is truly remarkable.

"When you stop, could you step on the skateboard like this, so that it rolls down into your hands?"

Su Chao thought that would be cooler.

As for whether anyone will break their head after trying the technique after the advertisement airs, that's none of their business.

These days, advertisements don't need to include warnings like "Dangerous actions, do not imitate".

"Come and try!"

Qu Ying was a little angry. She was a model, and if she got hurt, it would interfere with her work.

"so……"

Su Chao took it and gave a demonstration.

He has never skateboarded in his life, but he knew a little bit in his past life. Most importantly, he has amazing coordination in this life. The moves that he couldn't do in his past life, he can now do with ease.

"Not bad~"

Qu Ying never expected that Su Chao was such an athletic guy.

Actually, if she had filmed the Safeguard commercial with Su Chao in the morning, she would have seen Su Chao with his upper body exposed.

Jiang Qinqin secretly swallowed her saliva several times at that moment.

A young girl and a young woman would definitely react differently to a naked man.

Jiang Qinqin's boyfriend, Li Dawei, was attracted to her after watching the TV series "Xi Shi". "Xi Shi" was filmed when Jiang Qinqin was a sophomore in college. Now it is the summer vacation of her freshman year, and she will be a sophomore when school starts.

In other words, the TV series hasn't even started filming yet.

Qu Ying has had more than one boyfriend.

They're experienced drivers.

"It's not difficult at all. Do you want to give it a try? If you can't, you don't have to force yourself."

Su Chao cannot afford to take responsibility for the other person's fall.

As for playing the hero and saving the damsel in distress when the other person falls, Su Chao couldn't do it even from across the food truck.

"Why don't you do the exercise, I'll handle the sales, and then you can seduce me?"

Qu Ying thought about it and felt unsure. However, Su Chao's choreography was indeed very cool, and it would be better to retain it for the advertisement.

The Mediterranean-looking man next to him nodded repeatedly.

Zhang Guoli had no choice but to have them change their clothes again.

The prop truck has a variety of clothes available to fit different sizes.

Su Chao approached on his skateboard, and when he stopped, he stepped on it hard, flipping it up and landing it in his hand. He tucked it under his arm and then flashed a smile at Qu Ying in the food cart:
"Hello, could you please get me two cans of Coconut Palm Coconut Juice?"

Qu Ying smiled back and took out two cans.

But in his heart he was cursing:

Damn, this little bastard's smile is so handsome, I almost fell for him.

I am a married woman!
Su Chao took a can, opened the cap, tilted his head back and took a sip, then waved to Qu Ying and got back on his scooter.

The other can was left on the bar.

"Hi, your coconut tree~"

Qu Ying quickly picked up the can that Su Chao hadn't taken and called him back to get it.

"No, it's your coconut tree!"

Su Chao turned around on his skateboard and made a beautiful drift out of the frame.

Qu Ying flashed a sweet smile at the camera, opened the coconut juice bottle, tilted her head back, and took a sip.

This advertising slogan was actually something Su Chao stole from Yida (a popular Chinese chewing gum brand).

Hey, here's your Extra gum!

"No, it's your Extra gum!"

These two lines are more colloquial and concise compared to the original script.

Memory can be repeatedly stimulated through daily advertisements.

Zhang Guoli was so badly beaten by Su Chao that he became depressed.

Even if he worked himself to death, he couldn't possibly come up with such a great advertising idea.

The brand's Mediterranean-looking man was also very satisfied with this.

While filming, he even took out his mobile phone to report to his superiors.

These two seemingly simple sentences are truly profound.

Even the most incompetent leader can tell the difference between the added value these two sentences bring to an advertisement.

Su Chao's situation, however, was not so smooth.

The filming was much more difficult than in the morning, and there were also quite a few extras in the shot.

We also need to consider the continuity of the plot.

They finally finished shooting all the shots in one go when the sun was setting in the west.

Su Chao is incredibly skilled at skateboarding.

The original owner's stance training from childhood made everything he did twice as effective with half the effort.

The Mediterranean-looking man called Su Chao over.

They expressed their gratitude to him for revising the advertising slogan to "It's your coconut tree".

It's not just about verbal thanks.

When Su Chao held the three thousand yuan in cash in his hand, he thought this bald uncle was even more attractive than the woman who looked like Rei Akasaka that morning.

Therefore, good looks and money can be mutually exclusive.

"Hey kid, you have to treat me!"

Zhang Guoli saw it.

Actually, I didn't avoid him. He's the client, and he doesn't care what you, the director and producer, think.

The money that was due has already been given; this money is a reward for Su Chao.

"Absolutely, a karaoke bar?"

Su Chao wouldn't be that petty.

Moreover, Zhang Guoli at least did not take credit for his work.

If he insists that he came up with the advertising slogan, can Su Chao really afford to turn against him?
"A karaoke bar...that's not a good idea."

Zhang Guoli felt a little... embarrassed to go.

"It's summer now, and the girls inside are dressed very lightly."

Su Chao urged.

"What's refreshing?"

Qu Ying only heard half of what was said.

I thought they were discussing her figure.

When she arrived, she was wearing denim shorts, which showed off her long legs.

"We were talking about karaoke bars. We were planning to go to a karaoke bar after dinner with the brand representatives, where I would be a resident singer."

There's nothing wrong with Su Chao; he doesn't have a wife to keep him in check.

"I am coming too!"

Qu Ying was a regular at karaoke bars and nightclubs.

Those in their line of work often go to bars and nightclubs to conduct business.

"Didn't you have something to do?"

You used to act so aloof, but now you're all smiles the moment someone suggests going out.

"I...I...I'm fine now."

Qu Ying is actually aloof, but now that she knows Su Chao is capable, she can't maintain that aloofness anymore.

Moreover, Su Chao said he would treat everyone.

Why not go?

Su Chao didn't forget to call Sister Safeguard.

He also called Jiang Qinqin.

Anyway, we'll use Zhang Guoli's mobile phone.

He's paying for the meal, so there's nothing wrong with him using the phone.

He accidentally hung up after a minute and a half of the game, and Zhang Guoli, the phone owner, had a rather interesting expression.

These days, you're at a disadvantage if you don't make a phone call for at least fifty seconds!
