Perfect Superstar

Leisure is leisure, and work is work. Lu Chen clearly distinguishes the two.

No matter how beautiful the scenery of Jinling is, no matter how moving the scenery of Qinhuai River is, it cannot make him linger and neglect his work.

On the second day after arriving in Jinling, Lu Chen got up early.

Li Feiyu was still sleeping soundly, so he quietly left the hotel and went outside to exercise.

After returning, Lu Chen woke up Li Feiyu, and the two went to the hotel restaurant to have breakfast.

After breakfast, Lu Ze came just in time.

Today is the day to shoot commercials. According to Silver Horse's arrangement, if the filming can be successfully completed in the morning, then he will go to Senqi headquarters to take photos of promotional posters in the afternoon, and then he can return to the capital in the evening.

Of course this is the ideal state.

The filming work of film and television has never been easy. Even the simplest commercials, there are no guarantees that there will be accidents and twists and turns, such as mistakes in costumes and props, actors in poor condition, etc., which will affect the shooting process.

Led by Lu Ze, Lu Chen first met with the filming team of the Yinma advertisement.

Although it is just a commercial film, there are not many people in the filming team, director, photographer, camera assistant, scene reporter, artist, lighting engineer, lighting assistant, prop artist, make-up artist... in addition, they are responsible for doing chores, pushing tracks, and transporting There are more than a dozen workers in the field.

This also shows the strength of Yinma Advertising. If it is that kind of grassroots team, maybe the director and a few photographers can handle it, and it is impossible to arrange such a big battle.

In addition, it can also be seen that Senqi has attached great importance and investment to this advertisement.

The shooting location is Xiangjiang Road in Jinling Film and Television City.

Jinling Film and Television City is jointly built by the government and enterprises, and has invested tens of billions of dollars. It has already become one of the famous tourist attractions in Jinling City.

This Xiangjiang Road, which was built in imitation of the Kowloon commercial street in Xiangjiang, is surrounded by high-rise shops, and there are commuter trams and real subway stations, which are not much different from the real scene.

Many domestic movies and TV shows are filmed here. Interestingly, it is said that even Xiangjiang film and television companies have shot Hong Kong-style films on Xiangjiang Road.

When Lu Chen arrived, the filming team had just arrived.

According to the plan,

The outdoor part of this commercial was filmed first. After the completion, I will shoot the interior. The plot is not complicated.

The plot of this ad is about the male protagonist played by Lu Chen overslept with the cohabiting female protagonist. The latter rushed to attend an important meeting of the company, but accidentally left the documents at home.

After the hero finds out. Immediately put on Senqi sportswear and Senqi sneakers and ran out to catch up, only to find that the heroine had already taken a taxi and left.

So the male protagonist ran wildly on the street, overcoming many obstacles in the process. When the female protagonist arrived in the meeting room but found that she did not bring any documents, the sweaty male protagonist descended like a magic soldier!

The moved heroine sent a sweet kiss on the spot. Everyone in the company applauded.

Finally, the camera focused on Senqi's Logo.

Lu Chen had read the commercial script a long time ago, and had already memorized the content of a few lines in his heart.

The role he plays does not require high acting skills. The only difficulty is that during the running process, in order to show the brand's sports characteristics, there are several shots involving parkour.

In terms of the Yinma advertisement, it is going to be replaced by a stand-in, that is, a professional parkour enthusiast.

Lu Chen came a little early. Under the recommendation of Lu Ze, he chatted with the director of the filming team and listened to the latter explain the main points of the shooting. After all, the main shots of this commercial are all on Lu Chen's body.

The director also introduced Lu Chen's double.

The stand-in is a professional fitness trainer. His surname is Wang, and he looks about 30 years old.

He is slightly shorter than Lu Chen, but his muscles are very muscular, and he is a bit shy when he speaks, obviously belonging to the straightforward type.

The director told Lu Chen that this fitness instructor was born in the military, and he usually likes parkour. He once won fifth place in a national parkour competition.

After understanding the director's intentions, Lu Chen thought for a while and asked, Director, can you not use a stand-in? Let Coach Wang demonstrate those parkour moves to me first, and then I can do it myself?

No substitute?

The director was startled, and looked at Lu Chen with incredulous eyes: Are you going to complete the action yourself?

The photographer, lighting engineer, makeup artist...including Coach Wang all had strange expressions.

Of course professional things need to be done by professional personnel, although it is more troublesome to use a substitute. Post-editing and modification are required to avoid confusion, and it greatly increases the difficulty of shooting.

But it's better than Lu Chen going on an adventure!

One of the shots in the commercial requires the male protagonist to flexibly climb over the railing and then jump over the 3-meter-wide flowerbed. Without enough jumping ability, it is impossible to complete it. If you don’t know the skills, you may even get injured.

The director felt that Lu Chen was a little ignorant, but of course he concealed his disdain very well.

The director of the commercial is not the director of film and television. There is too much difference in coffee positions, even celebrities and entertainers can't afford to offend them.

So he could only explain well: That's too dangerous, we can't take such a risk, please understand.

Lu Chen smiled, but did not insist on his own ideas, choosing to respect the director's arrangement: Okay then...

The director secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He has shot many commercials, and he knows how difficult some celebrities are!

Lu Chen is obviously not that kind of person, he looks easy to talk to.

After appeasing Lu Chen, the director raised his wrist and looked at his watch, frowning.

He turned around, pointed to his watch and asked his assistant: Look at what time it is now, why hasn't Ms. Sun Shan come over yet? Why don't you just call and urge me? What are you doing here?

The assistant shrank his head from being scolded, and quickly took out his mobile phone to contact.

The director said to Lu Chen again: Mr. Lu Chen, I'm really sorry. Please take care of me. Ms. Sun Shan may have encountered something. Would you like to sit here first?

Lu Chen smiled and said, It's okay, I'll wait a little longer.

Sun Shan is Lu Chen's partner and heroine in this commercial, a third- and fourth-tier film star.

Lu Chen searched the other party's information on the Internet, and knew that the other party had appeared in several film and television dramas. Although they were all supporting roles, they were quite popular on the Internet. It is said that they are very good at hype, and have won one or two unknown awards.

Sun Shan is quite beautiful, but her reputation is not very good.

Of course, Lu Chen didn't care about the character of the other party, anyway, it was just an advertisement.

But he soon realized that his thinking was too simple!

After the assistant made the phone call, he timidly came over and said, Director, Ms. Sun Shan is still in the hotel and said she will be there in about an hour. What do you think?

An hour more?

The director was furious, his eyes widened: So many people are waiting for her...

He insisted on suppressing his temper so as not to explode, he waved his hand vigorously and said, Forget it, then don't wait, let's shoot the male lead part first, everyone hurry up and get ready!

As soon as the director gave an order, the filming team immediately got busy.

The photographer set up the camera position, the makeup artist rushed over to put on Lu Chen's makeup, and the lighting assistant ran around holding the reflector.

The field recorder took the field workers to isolate the tourists who were curious and gathered around to watch the excitement, so as not to interfere with the filming work.

It wasn't Lu Chen who started filming first, but his stand-in.

Coach Wang put on a full set of sports clothes and sneakers. After warming up, he started the first shooting, which was mainly an action of climbing over obstacles.

This professional coach is very capable. He jumped up suddenly after more than a dozen steps in the run-up, and easily jumped over several boxes stacked on the side of the road. His movements were very vigorous and smooth.

The camera installed on the guide rail followed his footsteps and filmed the whole process in its entirety.

It went well the first time.

The director was very satisfied, and passed it directly after seeing the replayed screen.

Next, the second parkour shot is much more difficult. The stand-in needs to climb over the railing and then jump over the flowerbed and land on the grass. Because the jumping distance is relatively long, there is a certain degree of danger.

While trying to stand in, Lu Chen received a call.

A phone call that caught him out of the blue.

Miss Fei?

The person who called him was actually Chen Fei'er: Lu Chen, where are you?

Lu Chen was puzzled: I'm shooting a commercial in Jinling now, Sister Fei, what can you do for me?

Chen Feier chuckled and said, I can't call you if I have nothing to do?

Lu Chen: Uh...

Chen Fei'er smiled and said, I'm not joking with you anymore, you were filming in Jinling Film and Television City, right?

Lu Chen said, Yes, I'm on Xiangjiang Road now.

Chen Fei'er said: I have filmed there, and the place is more familiar than you, so I will hang up first.

Lu Chen was stunned: Oh, goodbye, Miss Fei.

After finishing the call with Chen Fei'er, Lu Chen felt a little inexplicable.

what!

He was thinking about it when suddenly there was a painful scream in front of him.

Lu Chen was taken aback immediately, and rushed over with several on-site staff.

Then I found out that it was his substitute, that is, the coach Wang had an accident!

It turned out that when shooting the scene of jumping across the flower garden, Coach Wang didn't handle it well when he landed. As a result, he twisted his foot and couldn't stand up because of the pain.

Everyone helped to lift him up and move a stool to sit on.

Taking off his sneakers, he saw that Coach Wang's ankle had begun to swell!

Although I don't know if there is anything wrong with the bones, but he looks like this, it is definitely impossible to continue filming.

And the shot in front of it is tantamount to being shot for nothing.

Because it has to be replaced.

The problem is where to find a replacement temporarily. You must know that these actions are a bit difficult, and not just anyone can do them.

The director's sadness is almost like a river against the current!
