NOVEL FROG Chapter 9
Everyone present is a senior film and television person.
Although they don't understand art like Fan Rilin, they immediately discovered the trick after taking a closer look.
Assistant Director Xu Feng stared at the paper in his hand in disbelief.
Didn't TMD say it was an advertisement?
I thought the script was awesome enough.
Unexpectedly, this storyboard script directly raised the charm of the original text to a higher level!
He looked away and glanced at Chen Xiao.
Director Chen must have communicated with the screenwriter for a long time to draw such a vivid shot , right? Not bad!
But then again, who is that screenwriter who I have never met?
Cai Ji was so impulsive that he didn't even take a closer look.
……
On the other side, Cai Ji walked out of the building angrily.
As soon as he went out, he met a little girl who walked towards him.
"Wow! Director Cai, why are you here? I’m your fan! Can I have an autograph?
Cai Ji’s anger subsided a little, and he said cheerfully,"No problem.""
"Are you here today for a new play?"
Cai Ji felt something was wrong, but he couldn't help but blurt out,"What new play? It's just an advertisement.""
……
In the conference room.
Chen Xiao touched his chin and glanced at Cai Ji's seat.
When leading a team, the most important thing is not the ability of the members, but unity.
It's good to leave.
He looked up and glanced at the members who were reading the script.
The casting director, art director, and executive director are all here, so it won't affect the progress.
Next, just make normal preparations.
I'll go to survey the venue and hand over the work of setting up the venue and supervising the production of props to the art director.
Casting will be on the agenda.
Once the actors and props are in place, we'll start shooting!
……
Half a month later.
Early in the morning, seven or eight nanny cars drove into the film and television city one after another and stopped outside the filming area of "Titanic".
This action immediately caught the attention of reporters and paparazzi. They quickly surrounded the crew with long guns and short guns and hidden weapons.
So, before the casting began.
A big news in the business circle broke out on the Internet:
【Jiahe Diamond and Jiahao Films jointly spent 150 million to shoot a 3-hour diamond advertisement! 】
As soon as the news came out, it instantly caused heated discussions on the Internet
"Three hours of advertising, 10,800 seconds of advertising"
"Mind-blowing"
"Where are you going to put this? Damn it, leave my TV alone!"
"I guess it will be played on a large screen in a shopping center?"
"Diamond Company is brainwashing again"
"Super long lasting, if you change the promotional product, I will go to see it!"
"Is Jiahe planning to transform and blackmail Diamond? What a vicious business war"
……
Originally, netizens just wanted to have fun and just say a few words.
It's just an advertisement, so what can you do to me as long as I don't watch it?
This is just the appetizer given by reporters and paparazzi.
The crew is casting.
Chen Xiao spent a lot of time to get to know the actors during the casting. The actors perfectly matched the roles and the audition process went extremely smoothly. In just half a day, all the roles were confirmed!
Except for the actor who played the role of elderly Ruth who refused to act. The rest of the roles were all consistent with Chen Xiao's plan.
There is no impenetrable wall in the world.
In a place like a film and television city, there is not even a veil, let alone a wall.
As soon as the crew confirmed the casting, the reporters and paparazzi who were squatting in the film and television city dug out the casting results and released the latest news directly on the Internet.
【Popular actresses Leo and Wins turned down variety shows and movies to star in diamond commercials! As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused an uproar on the Internet.
The two are not traffic stars, but acting talents with great popularity.
Netizens who originally complained about it quickly split into two camps.
"Wins is very picky about scripts, and it is impossible for him to actually perform a three-hour commercial. This shows that the commercial script may be good."
"The commercial center scrolls to play these two handsome men and beautiful women, I can!"
"Where is it? I'll squat and watch it hahaha!"
"Leo is a great actor, it is impossible for him to act in a bad movie. I guess this ad won't be too bad."
"Tsk, if the money is right, what can’t be performed?"
"If it takes 15 minutes to shoot, I can still think it's a good commercial. 3 hours? I guess it's just the two of them standing there enjoying the breeze and taking a few shots to play back!"
Amid the discussions and speculations of countless netizens, the news that the two would star in"Titanic" directly became the number one hot search.
Soon, an interview video broke out.
It was Cai Ji in the video.
A young girl asked,"Director Cai, are you going to shoot this commercial?"
Cai Ji waved his hand with disdain on his face.
"What are you shooting! Jiahe let a young man who has never been heard of be the chief director and give random orders. I want to make a good work and don’t have time to fool around with them!"As soon as he said this, he seemed to realize that something was wrong.
He coughed quickly, put away the anger on his face, and said:"Dear fan, I am joking with you, don't take it seriously. I am here to see an old friend today."
The video ends here.
The short 20-second video gives enough information.
The young man gave random orders.
He wants to make a good work and doesn't want to stay.
Combined with the 150 million investment, netizens instantly made an association...Whose pocket did this money go into?
Netizens who were still arguing directly united their front.
Bloggers from various websites immediately started writing articles and shooting videos.
Just half an hour later, a blogger with a million fans posted a video on a short video website.
【150 million yuan for an advertisement?! The secret behind it】
The eye-catching title instantly attracted countless netizens.
In just 15 minutes, the number of views exceeded one million!
In the video, the blogger faced the camera and asked passionately:
"Isn’t 150 million enough to hire a qualified director?"
"Where did the money go?"
"Why does it take three hours to shoot an advertisement?"
"I once said that a movie with an investment of several billion yuan is likely to be just a waste of money!"
"These people are getting more and more arrogant now! They actually shot a three-hour commercial"
"Do you know why it is three hours long and is still called an advertisement instead of a movie?"
"Not because they really want to promote the diamond company"
"But the advertising cost is low!"
"The lower the cost, the worse the quality, and the more money they make!"
"I got inside information that this crew wants to shoot a scene of destroying a 200-meter-long ship."
"This is the method!"
"Let me give you an example. They spent 2 million to build a ship and claimed that the materials cost 5 million. After the ship was destroyed, there was no evidence! They only got 3 million."
"This is Xi Qian! Do you understand?"
The video ends here.
The number of comments soared rapidly, and it has exceeded 20,000 at this time! The number of shares has soared to 400,000.
"Protect!"
"You told the truth, it's dangerous!"
"Don't say that, bro. Your account is going to be lost."
"It’s definitely a bad movie!"
Leo and Wins fans went directly to the two leading actors’ Weibo to protest and cordially greeted Jiahao Films.
"Boycott bad dramas!"
"The boss of Jiahao takes kickbacks and uses us, Xiao Li, as guns. Are we fans stupid?"
"Xiao Li definitely did not do this voluntarily. Boycott Jiahao! Boycott Jiahe Diamond!"
"Wenwen, please refuse to act!"
"If my Wenwen makes a bad movie, I will protest offline!"
"Jiahe exploded on the spot and Jiahao was buried alive!"
"@Jiahao Films, do you know that ruining someone's future is equivalent to killing someone?"
Netizens even scolded the two leading actors.
……
In the afternoon, a black business car slowly drove into the film and television city.
In the back seat,
Wang Zhan put down his mobile phone and rubbed his eyebrows.
Jiahe has been established for more than 20 years and has been criticized a lot. But this is the first time it has experienced such a serious storm.
In the final analysis, the problem lies with the director.
An unknown young man is the chief director of a 150 million advertising film. Everyone will suspect that there is something fishy.
There is really nothing fishy!
However, the facts are not important. What is important is what the masses think.
If the masses think you have something fishy, even if the supervisory agency says there is no problem, they will still think you have something fishy.
The quality of this film must not have any problems.
Otherwise, it will be confirmed that they make money by shooting advertisements and will be infamous forever!
The car slowly stopped and the driver opened the door.
Wang Zhan put on a mask, got out of the car, and walked quickly towards the studio of"Titanic".
