Pei Shaoze came to Director Liu's side and waited for a while before Pei Shaoyan sluggishly followed. He leaned into his brother's ear, smiled and said softly, "Brother, I finally understand."
Pei Shaoze frowned: "Understand what?"
Pei Shaoyan smiled meaningfully and looked at his brother with admiration: "You have a good eye."
Pei Shaoze: "?"
Just as Liu Xueyi turned around and looked curiously at the strange young man in front of him, Pei Shaoze ignored his brother's smile and introduced to Director Liu: "Director Liu, this is my new assistant, his surname is Yan, you can call him Xiaoyan. In the future, let him help in the crew, and he can do whatever Director Liu asks. Intern, learn something along the way."
Director Liu nodded: "Oh, Xiao Yan, right? You've been following me to learn how to film for the past few days." He has seen many investors who put actors in the crew. What's the situation with a small assistant? Director Liu was at a loss, but he intuitioned that this little assistant had a close relationship with President Pei, so he was very kind to the little assistant.
Pei Shaoyan went to stand beside Director Liu, looked at the small screen in front of Director Liu, and was extremely curious: "Director Liu, what is this?"
Liu Xueyi explained with a smile: "On the monitoring screen, the pictures taken by the photographer will be displayed here in real time. If multiple cameras are shooting at the same time, several screens can be divided, and you can intuitively see whether the shooting effect is good or not."
Pei Shaoyan suddenly realized: "Oh, I understand, very advanced!"
The guy who came to the crew for the first time was full of curiosity about everything around him. Pei Shaoze thought to himself that it would be better to let this unsatisfactory younger brother follow the crew to learn the filming process of a drama than to let him go back to school and fool around with that group of friends every day.
At this moment, the person in charge of the propaganda department hurried over, holding a laptop, and said to Pei Shaoze, "President Pei, Director Liu, the makeup photos have been repaired, do you want to take a look?"
The colleague in charge of the promotion of this drama was also called by Pei Shaoze to the scene today. Everyone rushed to work and posted the photos of several leading actors to make six posters.
Pei Shaoze and the director sat next to each other and looked at the computer screen together.
The retouched photos are even better than those taken directly by the photographer. Everyone's faces are flawless. There are six protagonists and supporting actors. Uniform dark blue small print, the overall tone is consistent with the school uniforms worn by the actors.
Among them, Cheng Xia's makeup photo chose a frontal photo. The teenager in the photo is standing in front of the blackboard, holding a high school mathematics textbook in his hand, smiling brightly, his face full of youthful vigor that almost overflows the screen.
Pei Shaoze looked at Cheng Xia's makeup photos with a faint smile in his eyes, nodded and said, "It's very good."
Director Liu also praised: "The style of this poster fits well with our campus drama, and I also think it's good."
Pei Shaoze looked back at the girl in the propaganda department: "Give these photos to the media reporters who are here today, and prepare to publish the articles on major websites." The other party nodded immediately: "Okay, Mr. Pei, if there is no problem, I will send it. "
Pei Shaoyan carefully looked at Cheng Xia's one of the six posters, and couldn't help whispering: "Cheng Xia is so good-looking, and there is nothing wrong with his face. I have seen many Omegas, and his temperament is indeed unique. of."
Pei Shaoze turned to look at his brother and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Do you like this type?"
Pei Shaoyan's desire to survive instantly exploded, and he immediately assured: "No no, I like that kind of gentle and gentle bird, and a sunny Omega like Cheng Xia is not my thing! However, he is really handsome, and I like his Man, you have a good eye."
Pei Shaoze: "??"
Was the younger brother provoked, smiling strangely, and speaking out of context
Pei Shaoze ignored him and continued to focus on his work.
After half an hour, the news that the Folding Paper crew started up spread all over the Internet.
The Propaganda Department did not buy Hot Searches according to President Pei's instructions. After all, President Pei gave them very limited funds, so everyone posted a circular on major websites-very "Buddhist" propaganda, which seemed to be just to tell netizens: This is The show is about to start.
However, the original novel of "Folding Paper" has a certain popularity after all. After the author Lemongrass forwarded the official blog, it caused a great response among the fans of the book. The comments on her Weibo quickly exceeded 10,000, and half of the people said, "The house It collapsed, ruining my original work", and the other half of the readers thought that "the appearance of the main character looks okay, you can look forward to it."
Lemongrass took the initiative to express its position: "Thank you for your concern. I have joined the group and will personally participate in the adaptation of the script. Several leading actors are very serious, and we will try our best to present an excellent film and television work to everyone."
When the author said this, fans of the book immediately rejoiced. Lemongrass personally joined the group, at least it won't make the novels into a mess, and the plot is still very reassuring. It's just that Cheng Xia is a newcomer with no works, and Shen Kai is not well-known. What everyone is most worried about is that the two eighteen-line small transparent acting skills can't play the double protagonists in the book
In any case, the news that Lemongrass personally acted as the screenwriter comforted the book fans. Most of the book fans were more rational. Even if they questioned, they would ask questions under Lemongrass Weibo, and no one climbed to scold actors such as Cheng Xia and Shen Kai.
Cheng Xia became popular a few days ago, and he also gained some fans who liked his appearance after watching the MV. When they saw the news of the launch, these scattered passers-by fans hurriedly left a message to encourage Cheng Xia: "Xia Xia is very professional at playing the piano, I look forward to your support. New drama!" "I think your image is quite in line with Qin Nian, come on, look after you!"
There are also some lovely fans who came to encourage him: "Congratulations on winning the role of Qin Nian, Qin Nian is the white moonlight in my heart, I must play it well, I am looking forward to it!" "You look good, come on!"
Cheng Xia finished taking the makeup photos, turned on the phone and saw that most of the fans and passers-by had a mild attitude towards him. Of course, there are very few people who rush over and start swearing or even attacking them personally. They are likely to be black fans, and they can be completely ignored.
Just at this moment, a message from President Pei popped up in the crew group: "The announcement of the official blog of the crew, please forward it to all artists and cooperate with the publicity. Don't worry about the disputes of netizens. Although this drama has a large number of new actors, But several main creators will take care of it carefully and strive to shoot a high-quality product."
President Pei's words were like a reassurance for the entire crew.
Cheng Xia immediately reposted Weibo actively: "The comedy group is on! I am also a fan of "Folding Paper". I have read the original book many times, and I like Qin Nian very much. I will definitely try my best to play the role of Qin Nian! [Come on] [come on]"
Other actors followed suit.
Shen Kai has several online dramas based on it, and has more fans than Cheng Xia. After forwarding, many people left messages to express their congratulations.
The most popular of the entire crew is actually Ye Mingqian. His Weibo has more than four million followers, which is more than ten times that of Cheng Xia. When he acted in the literary film "Little Light", he attracted countless fans of his mother with his distressing crying scene. Because of this, his fans are very loyal. I heard that the idol has a new drama filming. Fans A joyous occasion.
As for the fact that he played the second male lead but did not play the male lead, many fans below are in the popular science "Folding Paper" novel plot, everyone knows that the male lead of this book is a sunny and cheerful young handsome guy, and the second male is a gentle Omega man. God, everyone also thinks that Ye Mingqian's temperament is more suitable to play the second male lead, so there is nothing to question.
The comments section is harmonious.
Pei Shaoze glanced at the messages posted by several artists on Weibo. At present, the publicity has achieved its effect. He only wanted to tell everyone that the show has started, and for the follow-up promotion, he will wait until the whole drama is finished. keep up.
After turning off the phone, Pei Shaoze came to the shooting studio.
Director Liu has rich experience in filming online dramas. For the two scenes this afternoon, he arranged for Cheng Xia and Shen Kai to play solo in the snow. Cheng Xia and Shen Kai just met after all, so it would be easy for them to act directly against each other. It takes time for the leading actors to get in touch, so Liu Xueyi brought up all the single-acts a few days ago, and let the two leading actors find their feelings first.
Both scenes were simple with very few lines, so the filming went very smoothly.
The afternoon passed quickly. Pei Shaoze looked at Cheng Xia who was smiling brightly after entering the state on the set, and then he felt relieved and took Zhang Fan and his younger brother back to the company.
During this time, he let his younger brother eat and live with him to facilitate his discipline.
After returning to the villa in the evening, Pei Shaoyan rubbed his brother's side and whispered, "Brother, tomorrow is my buddy's birthday, and we have long agreed to spend it together. See if you can give me a chance and let me participate. A birthday party?"
Pei Shaoze asked calmly, "When you were with those friends, did you spend less money?"
Pei Shaoyan looked proud: "That's right! Every time I go out to play, I pay for it. It's normal to spend a few thousand at a time."
Pei Shaoze said: "You send them a WeChat message now, saying that you are in some trouble and need money urgently, and ask them to borrow 20,000 yuan. If they are willing to lend it to you, I will let you go to the class reunion tomorrow."
Pei Shaoyan frowned: "Borrowing money? What a shame..." Facing his brother's calm gaze, he had to quickly type and make up a few WeChat messages and send them to his best friends.
Soon someone replied, "Brother Yan, I'm in a tight spot recently, and I don't have that much money. I'm really sorry!" "My card was frozen by my dad, and I can't get any cash, why don't you ask Ah Cheng?"
One message after another came back, and Pei Shaoyan's face gradually became ugly.
Pei Shaoze said calmly: "You think they are good buddies, but they only think of you as an ATM paying the bill. Shaoyan, a true friend, will definitely help you when you are in trouble. They usually compliment you, Holding you in your arms and calling each other so affectionately is because you care about their food, drink and play, and are willing to give them money. Once you get into trouble, none of these so-called 'friends' will stand up to help you, you See clearly now?"
It was this group of people who seduced his younger brother to become addicted to drugs in the later period of the original novel. Pei Shaoze didn't have the slightest liking for this group of friends. He naturally hoped that his younger brother would be as far away from them as possible. He wanted to let Pei Shaoyan see the true colors of this group of "brothers" as soon as possible.
Pei Shaoyan became angry: "Maybe they are just short of money and have no money!"
Pei Shaoze said: "People who can spend tens of thousands of dollars on a KTV visit can't get 20,000 yuan, do you believe it?"
"..." Pei Shaoyan was silent for a moment, a trace of loss flashed in his eyes.
Big brother is right, they just don't want to help, because they don't really think of him as a friend in their hearts, they just pull him every time they go out to play, and someone pays the bill. He's a fool who takes credit and pays for these people! Once he runs out of money one day, it will be more decisive for these people to abandon him than to throw away a rotten leaf!
Pei Shaoze threw the three scripts picked out by the Copyright Department to his younger brother: "In the past few days, read the script I gave you first, and then look for dramas with similar themes on the market, carefully read the market reviews, and write me an analysis report. ."
Pei Shaoyan grimaced: "I can't write the report materials..."
Pei Shaoze gave him a template: "Follow the writing, and check it yourself if you don't know how."
Pei Shaoyan bowed his head and opened his laptop and started to read the materials. Such days are really more difficult than the third year of high school. The head teacher in the third year of high school treated him with "stocking management", but now this brother is actually sitting next to him and staring at him to do his homework!
A spacious study room, a large desk, and two computers.
The two brothers worked face to face, and Pei Shaoyan occasionally raised his head to secretly observe the elder brother on the opposite side. Compared to the cynical older brother who used to work all day, such a hard-working older brother is indeed more attractive.
Maybe because Pei Shaoze was too serious, Pei Shaoyan didn't dare to disturb the other party, so he could only focus on the script on the computer. After watching it for a while, he found that the script was well written, and he gradually became interested in it.
The room fell silent, except for the sound of two people tapping the mouse.
It was not until eleven o'clock in the evening that Pei Shaoze rubbed his temples, stopped his work, got up and came to his brother's side, and asked, "How is it, do you think this script has the potential to become popular?"
Pei Shaoyan raised his head and said, "The story is pretty good, should it be popular?"
Pei Shaoze: "I will ask you again after you finish reading the three scripts."
Pei Shaoyan scratched his head in doubt: "It's pretty good, will I come to a different conclusion after watching the three?"
Pei Shaoze: "No, you will only think that the three scripts are pretty good."
Pei Shaoyan looked blank.
The next moment, I heard Pei Shaoze say: "There are many good-looking plays, but good-looking plays don't necessarily make them popular. If one day, you become a powerful investor, and you have three equally good-looking plays in front of you, but the funds are only allowed. You vote for one of them, and how to choose the most suitable one is the key."
Pei Shaoyan seemed to have listened and looked at his brother seriously.
Pei Shaoze patted him on the shoulder, his voice rarely softened: "Investigate the films of the same theme in the market, read the comments of netizens, and find out the audience's preferences. This is only the first step. What I asked you to do is also the most basic market analysis. Research, this is a key factor in deciding whether you invest in a drama, understand?"
Pei Shaoyan nodded seriously: "I probably understand, but... I don't know much yet."
Pei Shaoze said: "If you don't, just ask me. You've grown up, and when you know enough about this industry, I'll make you an independent producer. If you have the vision to invest, it's no problem to make hundreds of millions of dollars. Earn it yourself. The money is more secure to spend, what do you think?"
Although the elder brother also has an "educational tone", it is strange that Pei Shaoyan does not feel disgusted. Compared with the big truths of "what should your life be like" from teachers and fathers, Pei Shaoze's practical education method made Pei Shaoyan have to obey - after all, the pocket money is in the hands of the eldest brother, and if he is not obedient, he will have no food!
In this semi-coercive and semi-voluntary situation, Pei Shaoyan began to devote himself to the work arranged by his brother.
Pei Shaoze was very satisfied with his younger brother's change.
This child is not stupid, but the environment has had too much influence on him. Stay away from those friends and learn slowly with him. Pei Shaoze believes that his younger brother will slowly correct himself and become a proud son of the Pei family.
