The king of all people

Chapter 71

On February [-]st, Xiangshan Menggan Spring, a well-known maple viewing spot in BJ City.

Li Xian met with the staff of the Shanda Company's Legend Propaganda Department. "Legend" is a multiplayer online oriental fantasy online game. In order to ensure the enthusiasm of the promotional advertisement, the company decided to shoot it on the spot.

A gentle and refined middle-aged man followed by a young and beautiful female secretary.The man was dressed in a straight and neat black suit, and the silver mirror frame on the bridge of the nose reflected a natural and generous self-restraint.Seeing Li Xian coming, the man habitually extended his right hand: "Hello, Mr. Li. I'm Hou Ze, Marketing Manager of Shanda Company. Nice to meet you!"

The other party is his "golden master". Since he wanted to shake hands so enthusiastically, Li Xian naturally couldn't refuse.The two politely exchanged a few words with each other, and then sat in the temporary recording studio to discuss the distance shooting content of the legendary commercial.

""Legend" is not yet on the market. I wonder if Mr. Li knows something about it? Do you need me to introduce it briefly." Hou Ze has been a marketing manager for some years, and he is quite tactful in dealing with people. When this kind of partner talks, there is not much taste of a businessman in his tone.

As for the game "Legend", to put it bluntly, Li Xian probably has a better understanding than the so-called marketing manager in front of him.After all, in the previous life, this was an online game that had turned him upside down day and night, and he was deeply involved in it.Unexpectedly, the production film that used to require him to charge money to play has now become his "cash cow". This change has to make him surprised and moved.

In 2001, domestic online games were still in their infancy, and Shanda Company caught this untapped gold mine with its unique vision.Purchased the operating rights of "Legend" from South Korea, opening up a new situation in the future of video game networking.

"No need, I'm usually a computer game enthusiast, and I'm familiar with the information and background of this game." Li Shishi said honestly that he didn't need to hide the truth.

"In this case, please read our advertising copy now, Mr. Li. I will go and order the staff to carry out the final equipment adjustment. Later, a designer will take you to change clothes. I believe this cooperation will be a pleasant one. Experience."

After handing over the advertising plan to Li Xian, Hou Ze took the female secretary to arrange work. "Legend" will be released soon, and the company has already sent people to urge them to complete the filming today. After post-production, this first commercial will be put into publicity to create momentum for the game's public beta.Every minute and every second in commercials is a valuable figure, unlike TV dramas, where the longer the time, the more you earn.

Li Xian looked through the advertising plan carefully. The script is not complicated. After all, it is only a short film of a few minutes, which is definitely much simpler than when shooting "Legend of Sword and Fairy".

In the short film, Li Xian will play Galen, a passionate and righteous warrior who lives on the mysterious Marfa continent in the legendary world.However, a group of magicians with supernatural abilities suddenly came to this land, plundered their homes and destroyed their lives.

One day, the leader of the mages, Ryze, fell in love with the female doctor Sona whom Galen had a crush on, and wanted to take it for himself.Unbearable, Galen picked up the sword and shield, and vowed to fight the devil to the end to protect the holy goddess in his heart.

Li Xian felt that this advertisement copy was like a bloody soap opera, but he didn't say much.When the manufacturer paid him, he was obliged to shoot the advertisement well.As long as it is not an unscrupulous product that violates conscience, he can accept it.

"OK, when will the shooting be?" After reading the script, Li Xian nodded to Hou Ze who was not far away.

"Okay, let's change the costume now, and then we can officially start." After receiving Hou Ze's understanding, the designer took the prepared costume props and began to transform Li Xian, trying to create a masculine armored warrior. .

Shooting commercials is different from shooting TV dramas and movies. The time for commercials is short and concise. It is necessary to exaggerate and magnify the actor’s body language, actions, and facial expressions as much as possible, to show the psychological changes of the characters with the highest efficiency, and to highlight this commercial. The general content you want to convey.

Li Xian entered the "Astrology" system and exchanged points for a few advertising videos, wanting to figure out some of his predecessors' shooting experience.Although he was cramming, it was not the first time he had filmed commercials, and he had rich experience in filming, so he had the effect of sharpening his guns before the battle, making himself happy when he was unhappy.

A quarter of an hour later, Li Xian, wrapped in a silver-white heavy armor and holding an imitation iron sword, appeared under the skillful skills of a makeup artist. With his clumsy armor and mud all over his face, he really revealed the essence of "the man is in the tower" Swear to die hard.Under the leadership of Hou Ze, they came to the shooting site built next to Menggan Spring.

"Mr. Li, this is Han Li, the director in charge of today's filming."

"Director Han, he is Li Xian, who has been a hot topic in the entertainment industry recently. I think you should know him." Hou Ze introduced the two of them separately. Speaking of which, Han Li is not a famous director, and he has nothing to show for it. masterpiece.However, today is just a short film, Shanda company chose him mainly because of his low price.

"Hello, do you know the general plot of the advertisement? Let's try to shoot it as soon as possible. Anyway, the film doesn't need too complicated acting skills. You try to express the kind of enthusiasm that matches the game. It will only take a few minutes. Clock time, no problem, right?" Han Li seemed to be a practical and action-oriented guy, he didn't talk too much nonsense, and cut directly to the topic.

This is the fourth year that Han Li has been in the directing industry, but what is frustrating is that he hasn't had a complete film and television work so far.He asked himself that his shooting skills were solid, but he still couldn't meet Bole who admired him.Forced by the helplessness of life, now he can only look around for some simple shooting jobs, and his enthusiasm for life has gradually faded away.

Li Xian could hear the fatigue from Han Li's tone, but he couldn't go any further.After all, they are just a one-sided person, and doing their own work well is the primary goal. "Okay, I will try my best to save time for everyone."

At this time, a staff member came over. "Director Han, the props are all arranged, and we can start shooting anytime."

……

"Get ready! Start!" With the director's order, the recording of the first commercial of "Legend" officially started.

Li Xian was wearing heavy armor and walking on the bank of Menggan Spring, making a "dongdong" trampling sound from the soles of his feet.His thick eyebrows were tightly wrinkled, and his mouth opened as if he was shouting to charge forward again.Pieces of falling maple leaves fluttered around him, exaggerating the eerie tranquility before the storm...

"Galen, give up! In terms of force, you can't beat me! Sona's heart will eventually belong to me!" The situation suddenly changed, and the guest actor who played the role of the Great Demon Lord Ryze appeared on the other side of the camera holding a magic book, naked The top of his head was extremely abrupt in the bleak cold wind.He provoked angrily, as long as he kills this stupid ass, he can enjoy Sona's graceful and alluring body without any scruples!

"Let the horse come here! Anyone who offends my Mafa Continent will be punished no matter how far away! Sona is the most holy doctor in the hearts of our thousands of people, how can I allow you to defile me wantonly!" Li Xian roared not to be outdone, although this line Why, the more it sounds, the more it sounds like it came from his favorite game "League of Legends" before rebirth...

This scene is fairly simple, and the bravery and courage shown by Li Xian really match the style of "Legend".Han Li, who kept adjusting the lens, was also very satisfied with this.

After a short break, the next scene, the Holy Goddess Sona, who caused the war, will make her final choice between two men who are fighting each other for her life and death.
