Accidental Mark

【Accidental Mark · Chapter 15】

After receiving Chen Yijun's message, Cheng Xia was not in a hurry to reply. He first called his agent Zhou Yan, and wanted to know what the agent would do tomorrow.

As soon as the phone was connected, Zhou Yan said in a hurry: "Cheng Xia, I was just looking for you. Chen Yijun's agent has already contacted me, saying that tomorrow is a makeup test and a final look, and the MV will be filmed within a week. Her schedule is very tight, we can only cooperate as much as possible. Do you have any questions tomorrow?"

Zhou Yan used the desktop WeChat version of the computer to communicate with the agent of the other party, and at the same time called Cheng Xia.

Cheng Xia nodded without hesitation: "I'm fine, Sister Yan, you can arrange it."

Zhou Yan typed a few words on WeChat to reply "no problem", and then said: "Chen Yijun is a very nice person, and offered to give you 2 yuan for the performance. I would like to ask your opinion, do we want this money?" money?"

Cheng Xia smiled and said, "I don't want the money, right? Sister Yijun is willing to take me as a newcomer. I should thank her. It seems too stingy to ask for the performance fee. It's better to act in friendship. Besides, I'm her fan. This time It's equivalent to following her to gain fame. If she chooses someone else, I won't have the opportunity to show my face."

Zhou Yan nodded happily: "It's good that you understand. Get up early tomorrow and find me at the company at 09:30."

"Ok Sister Yan, see you tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone, Cheng Xia politely replied to Chen Yijun and expressed his thanks.

At this moment, the office on the top floor of Tianxuan Group.

Pei Shaoze asked Zhang Fan who knocked on the door in a low voice, "What did Director Liu say?"

Zhang Fan took a contract and handed it to him: "I just called Director Liu to confirm, and I have an appointment to have an interview with you in Room 11 of the Western Restaurant on the 30rd floor of Longhua Building at 3:1 tomorrow morning."

Pei Shaoze nodded, took the contract from Zhang Fan and read it carefully.

He doesn't like to procrastinate. If he thinks it is suitable after meeting tomorrow, he can hand over the contract to the other party on the spot and finalize it as soon as possible.Only when the director and screenwriter are confirmed can the actors be confirmed, and the filming can be started as soon as possible.

Director Liu's full name is Liu Xueyi. He is a newcomer who graduated from the Film Academy's Directing Department. He is currently 26 years old, and he is relatively young among directors.Pei Shaoze sought him out because his price is affordable, the previous drama has already finished, and he has plenty of time.Not to mention the high fees of big-name directors, and there are no schedules.

Secondly, Liu Xueyi has been very active in the field of online dramas in recent years. He has filmed three low-cost youth idol dramas. More than 8 points, it is not shoddy, he is very strict about the quality of web dramas.

This director was decided upon by Pei Shaoze after reading the profiles of hundreds of directors.

Zhang Fan has been working overtime with Pei Shaoze recently, and he admires Mr. Pei's dedication.He has to carefully read the profile of each director, and also read reviews on the Internet, and even personally click on the representative works they have shot in the past to see the director's style.

The attitude of checking information is as serious as that of a graduate student writing a graduation thesis.

From the second generation of the idiot rich to a rigorous and neat business man, Pei Shaoze in front of him seemed to have completely reborn.

Pei Shaoze handed the contract to Zhang Fan: "Go to the legal affairs department to get the seal, and pick me up at the Lakeside Villa with the driver at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, and you and I will meet Director Liu." It's been a hard day, let's get off work early today."

Zhang Fan was overjoyed: "Thank you Mr. Pei!"

Cheng Xia started to read the original novel when she returned to the apartment, but she was so fascinated that she read it late into the night.He put down the book, went to the French window and rubbed his sore shoulder.

Suddenly, his eyes fell on a window diagonally opposite——

The 33rd floor of Tianxuan Building.

Since it was off-duty time, the lights of the entire Tianxuan Building were turned off, so the lights of the office on the 33rd floor were particularly conspicuous.

The people in the office seemed to open a window for ventilation. Cheng Xia saw the tall man get up from the desk and pour a glass of water from the side, and then came to the window with the glass.

He couldn't see the other person's face clearly across the street, but judging by his figure alone, he recognized Pei Shaoze at a glance, Boss Pei!

Are you still working overtime so late?

Mr. Pei is really a responsible and dedicated boss.

[Cheng Xia's favorability towards you +5]

Pei Shaoze who just picked up the cup to drink water: "?"

I didn't meet with Cheng Xia at all today, and I didn't even contact him at all.

Where does the favorability come from?

It feels like a small seedling planted in a flower pot, without watering or fertilizing, it just grows taller by itself.

Cheng Xia is a seedling that can grow by itself.

Pei Shaoze drank the water happily, took out his phone and sent Cheng Xia a WeChat message: "Are you going to shoot the MV tomorrow?"

Cheng Xia was taken aback by the message that popped up on the phone, and hurriedly replied: "Yes, Mr. Pei, do you know?"

"Chen Yijun told me. Director Zhang of the MV has worked with her many times. This director is very strict, and it is common to shoot a scene several times. You should be mentally prepared. The MV shooting this time may not be as expected. So easy."

"I understand." Cheng Xia replied, and then said: "Boss Pei, please rest early, don't work too hard!"

"Yeah. You too, go to bed early." Pei Shaoze was about to get off work, and after sending the message, he closed the window and went to the underground garage.

Cheng Xia saw that the lights in the office across the street had been turned off, so he turned and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

***

The next day, Cheng Xia got up on time at seven o'clock, and put on clean clothes casually after washing. Anyway, Sister Yijun said that the sponsor would provide the clothes, so he only needed to bring himself there.

Assistant Xu Rongrong came early in the morning to bring him a nutritious breakfast and carried a schoolbag. This schoolbag is like a treasure chest with all kinds of daily necessities.Cheng Xia couldn't help sighing: "Sister Rong, you are too well prepared!"

Xu Rongrong said: "I am your assistant, of course I have to take good care of you."

Cheng Xia smiled at her: "My sister has worked hard."

The young boy was sweet and polite, Xu Rongrong was very pleasant to hear him call sister.She was very glad that Cheng Xia was chosen when the assistant was assigned, and her attitude towards Cheng Xia became more and more gentle: "Eat breakfast first, and then we will go to the company to find Zhou Yan after eating."

When the two came to the company, Zhou Yan was ready, and told Cheng Xia some precautions, and the three of them went downstairs to the parking lot together.Originally, I thought that Chen Yijun was a famous star after all, so he might be late at ten o'clock.As a result, Chen Yijun's nanny car was quite punctual, arriving at the garage at exactly ten o'clock.

Chen Yijun wore a pair of cool sunglasses, put down the car window and waved to Cheng Xia: "Cheng Xia, come and take a car with me!"

Cheng Xia glanced at the manager and saw that Zhou Yan had no objection, so she walked over and sat in the back row with Chen Yijun, and the manager and assistant got into another car.

Chen Yijun's nanny car has a very spacious space, and the rear row can easily allow an adult to lie down and sleep.Chen Yijun closed the curtains of the car, turned on the lights, and handed Cheng Xia a stack of materials: "This is the script of the MV, please read it first."

Cheng Xia took it over and took a closer look, and found that the character he played in the MV had no lines from the beginning to the end.After all, this is the MV of the song, not a skit. It would be strange if someone suddenly appeared to speak in the middle of singing.No lines are normal.Acting without lines is no less difficult than with lines.

When there are lines, actors can express their emotions by controlling the volume and cadence of their voices. A good actor can even bring the audience in with one or two lines.However, this kind of "mute play" without lines has to rely on movements and eyes. For Cheng Xia, this is not a small challenge.

After Cheng Xia finished watching it, Chen Yijun said bluntly: "I just recorded this single last month, and I want to put it on the shelves on Valentine's Day. You are in a hurry for the meeting, and you will have to work hard these few days."

Cheng Xia said understandingly: "I understand that your song is about first love, so it would be more appropriate to release it on Valentine's Day. And this year's Valentine's Day and Spring Festival will not exceed three days, which is the time when the traffic of various music websites is the largest. "

Chen Yijun looked at Cheng Xia with gentle eyes: "There are a lot of singers who will release new songs during the winter vacation. It is not so easy to break through the siege during the highly competitive winter vacation. Letting you play the MV of this song is not a random decision. The first time I saw you that day, I thought you were especially suitable for this song. Cheng Xia, you have to work hard."

Cheng Xia nodded seriously: "Sister Jun, don't worry, I will cooperate well."

Chen Yijun patted Cheng Xia on the shoulder with a smile, took out his mobile phone, and took a photo with Cheng Xia.She wanted to post it to Moments, but she wrote a few words and deleted it, saying: "No, I have to keep it secret, and I will surprise everyone when the time comes!"

Soon, the nanny car drove to a nearby middle school.

Due to the recent winter vacation, the students all went home, so Chen Yijun simply borrowed the school's venue to shoot the MV.

Staff are already on site and ready.

As soon as Chen Yijun got out of the car, he dragged Cheng Xia to meet the director: "This is Director Zhang. This is the newcomer I told you about, Cheng Xia."

Director Zhang specializes in shooting MVs for singers. He has strict requirements and strives for excellence. He was a little unhappy when he heard that Chen Yijun had found a newcomer. As a result, when the boy came over and politely asked "Hello, Director Zhang", his eyes suddenly lit up——

A sunny and warm boy, the first love that will never be forgotten in memory.

Isn't this a fucking face suitable for first love!

Director Zhang excitedly dragged Cheng Xia to the dressing room: "Hurry up, fix the makeup and hair style, I'm going to take a few shots to try."

Cheng Xia who was being dragged away was a little confused.

Seeing Cheng Xia being dragged away, manager Zhou Yan and assistant Xu Rongrong followed nervously.

Cheng Xia was sent to the dressing room by the director to change clothes.

Since the MV was filmed at school, Cheng Xia had to change into her school uniform.The school uniform is provided by the sponsor, blue and white, sportswear that most people would look ugly in, but Cheng Xia looks like a cover model when worn on Cheng Xia's body.People with good proportions really look good in anything.If Cheng Xia endorses this school uniform, it is estimated that the school uniform will be sold out.

The director's eyes lit up, and he beckoned Cheng Xia to sit down in front of the makeup mirror. The makeup artist and stylist immediately began to toss his face and hair, and Cheng Xia felt that he was about to become a guinea pig on the test bench.

The makeup artist sister asked him to open or close his eyes, and he had to cooperate obediently.

After a while, the makeup, hair and styling were finally decided.

Simple short black hair and broken bangs, without extra modification, made him look fresh and natural.Cheng Xia's skin is fair, and she doesn't feel too heavy with foundation.The modification of the nose shadow makes the teenager's nose more refined and three-dimensional.The lipstick color chosen by the make-up artist for him is only a little darker than his own lip color, and it looks very radiant after applying it.

Daily makeup, coupled with a refreshing short hair, this is completely the school girl in middle school, right?Chen Yijun, who entered the dressing room, exclaimed exaggeratedly: "Ahhh, it's so beautiful! Cheng Xia, I want to be your number one little fan girl... No, little girl girl!"

People around were amused by her exaggerated acting skills.

Unexpectedly, the famous singer Chen Yijun actually had such an off-line personality in private.Cheng Xia looked at her and said seriously: "Sister Jun, you are my idol, so don't make fun of me."

Chen Yijun took a few photos of Cheng Xia with a smile.

Director Zhang rubbed his hands excitedly beside him: "Come on, let's try to take a few shots first!"
