Xu Qiao raised his eyes and swept his gaze across Mo Chenghong's slightly stiff and rigid face.
This guy is so serious when he jokes, he can really scare people.
With a smile on his face, Xu Qiao flipped open the document and read two lines: "Shower gel?"
Looking at the brand again, it is still a big beauty brand.
Mo Chenghong took out a stack of brand-related information and pushed it in front of Xu Qiao: "Hecate used to focus on beauty products, and last year expanded a fragrance series called 'Desire'. This shower gel is a product from the same series."
Hecate, the brand name comes from the goddess of the underworld in Greek mythology, representing the dark side of the world. The brand proposition is that we hope every woman can follow her heart and face her own heart.
The target users are young and mature ladies.
The resulting advertisements often feature exquisite and beautiful images, full of sensuality.
"Although it's just an endorsement of a single product line, it's a big brand after all. Your popularity is still unstable, and you don't have any other representative works except for the low-quality online drama "Liao Jiang". This kind of advertising is not too little, not too much."
Xu Qiao had no objection to shooting the commercial, but he still had some questions.
“Perfumed shower gel, users should all be women, right?”
Mo Chenghong heard the implication of his words and glanced at him: "Is there any problem? There are also male celebrities endorsing sanitary napkins."
Xu Qiao: “…”
Mo Chenghong added: "But now the new advertising law stipulates that advertising spokespersons cannot recommend products that they have not used, so you will most likely not see male stars endorsing sanitary napkins in the future."
What does high probability mean? Xu Qiao always felt that there was something strange about what Mo Chenghong said, as if there would be another one in the future.
After looking through the document and making sure there was no problem, Xu Qiao signed his name.
Mo Chenghong put away the document signed by Xu Qiao and raised his chin towards Li Feifei who was standing beside him.
Li Feifei received his gaze and immediately took out a thick notebook from her bag and handed it to Xu Qiao: "Brother, this is the script that Director Hu sent today. He said it will take some time before you can join the crew. You should try to figure out the role when you have time."
Xu Qiao took it and responded.
Hundred Ghosts is a large-scale fantasy costume drama with 60 episodes. Hu Zhenghua insisted on using real scenes wherever possible, with relatively few studio shots, striving for perfection. The entire shooting period took nearly a year.
Because it is a series, the stories are basically independent of each other and the shooting time is long, so there is no need for Xu Qiao to rush into the crew.
There are five independent story chapters. Xu Qiao will star in the fourth chapter "Water Ghost Volume", with about twelve episodes. It is estimated that it will take another month to join the crew. If everything goes well after joining the crew, it can be completed in less than two months.
There was nothing to do afterwards, so Fei-Fei Li sent him home and also helped Xu Qiao move the letters and gifts that fans had sent to the studio back home.
In the spacious and bright living room of the duplex, there were two large cardboard boxes. One box contained letters, and the other was full of gifts sent by fans, and the packaging boxes were still intact.
Xu Qiao sat cross-legged on the carpet, opened a few letters, and read the fans' passionate confessions on them. His eyes and brows softened.
There are too many letters to read all at once, so Xu Qiao plans to read them slowly and reply to a few when he has time.
His eyes fell on the large cardboard box containing gifts next to him. Xu Qiao took out a paper cutter and opened them one by one, while Li Feifei helped to clean up.
As he was unpacking, Xu Qiao's brows began to frown.
In addition to small gifts made by fans and some local specialties, there are also many luxury goods in the gifts.
Watches, high-end jewelry, and designer bags.
Li Feifei was a little surprised when she saw it: "Brother, you have a lot of fans... Rich sisters. This watch costs 260,000 yuan, and this bag is new, and it costs more than 100,000 yuan."
Even though my brother’s popularity is unstable and his status is not high now, his fans are still willing to give him up, and it seems that he has quite a few loyal fans.
"Everyone go back."
"ah?"
Xu Qiao continued to unpack the boxes and put the expensive ones aside: "These should be returned to the address they were sent to. In the future, the studio is not allowed to accept gifts that are too expensive."
Li Feifei hesitated: "Brother, this is all from the fans..."
Besides, the total value of these gifts is really not small. Li Feifei felt it was a pity to return them like this: "Brother, you can't afford to buy clothes now. With these-"
Xu Qiao shook his head and interrupted him: "We can't take it back, and we can't set this precedent."
The fans' kindness is one thing, and principles are another. If I really accept these expensive gifts, I'm afraid things will get worse in the future.
After thinking about it, Xu Qiao opened Weibo and posted:
I have received all the letters and gifts from Xu Qiao. Thank you for your love and support. I will accept all the letters and handmade gifts. If the value exceeds one Mao Zedong note, I will return it. I will accept the kindness. Thank you (heart)
Ah, Qiao Qiao, don't give up! ! I have plenty of money, trust me!
Woohoo, brother, just accept it. No more than one Mao Zedong note. Oh my god, where should I spend my money
I'm going to learn how to make handicrafts to make a gift for my brother.
+1 for clumsy people
Xu Qiao put down his phone and repacked the ridiculously expensive gifts with Li Feifei. Li Feifei sighed, packed them up and took them back to the studio, contacting the courier company to send them back one by one.
After Li Feifei left, Xu Qiao took out his drawing board and started to draw. Gao Ming was pushing him like he was dying, so he felt embarrassed to delay any longer.
Dianxing Game Company is not big, with less than 30 employees in total. The staff is not very regular, and the division of labor is not as detailed and clear as that of large companies. Often one person has to take on multiple duties.
But it's small but exquisite, and has great storytelling abilities.
Xu Qiao had previously spent several nights organizing the doomsday world, worldview, and ability system that he had experienced. Gao Ming and his subordinates quickly constructed the main theme and story development of the game based on the worldview provided by Xu Qiao.
Xu Qiao also provided sufficient support in terms of relevant subject background information to ensure that the game would not have major bugs in the content.
Speaking of it, when making a game, the most basic planning, art, and programming, Xu Qiao can almost be said to have provided a general framework for the first two. What Gao Ming has to worry about is to slowly fill this framework with flesh and blood.
The road has been paved, and the rest is up to Gao Ming.
I have done map and character designs before, and what Xu Qiao is going to draw today is the promotional picture.
The beauty promotion is different from the original painting. The original painting is the concept design of the overall art style and the characters, scenes and props, and focuses on accuracy. The beauty promotion picture is for publicity, and the key is "beauty". It must be expressive, eye-catching, and detailed enough.
It takes a lot of effort to draw.
After painting at home for two days, it was time to shoot the commercial.
Mo Chenghong brought Li Feifei and Nicole to pick him up early in the morning. When they arrived at the studio, the venue and cameras had already been set up.
After entering and greeting the director and staff, Xu Qiao was then led to the dressing room to change clothes.
Hecate is indeed a big name, the costumes and props it prepared are extremely exquisite.
A green satin robe with a superior drape makes Xu Qiao's skin look even whiter.
After Nicole discussed the shooting concept with the director, she applied concealer from the middle to the end of Xu Qiao's eyebrows. Xu Qiao looked through the mirror and saw that Nicole only left him two short eyebrows, which looked a bit strange at first glance.
Apart from that, the makeup on her face was very light and plain, even deliberately concealing some color.
The only bright color was on the lips. Nicole used her fingers to smudge a layer of lipstick on him. After completing the makeup, she used a curling iron to style Xu Qiao's hair. The small curls were scattered in a messy way, which looked a little casual and cute. If you look closely, you can see a lazy and seductive curve.
The director looked at Xu Qiao who had completed the styling and nodded with satisfaction, as he saw that all the expected effects had been achieved.
The first thing to take is the promotional photos.
The ground was covered with dewy red roses and surrounded by layers of thorns.
Xu Qiao stepped barefoot on the roses, and under the director's guidance, he looked through the gaps between the thorns. The boy's plain face turned around in the shade of the rose thorns, with a kind of seductive beauty like a demon.
After the lighting, every frame is incredibly beautiful.
The simple and bland makeup looks like a black and white photo, but the red lips and roses all over the body add layers of charming colors to the black and white photo.
Several staff members in the studio looked at Xu Qiao with excitement on their faces.
White, really white.
She had a great figure, really great. The satin material wrapped around her body made every tiny undulation visible, so that when Xu Qiao stood there, the fabric stuck to her body, revealing the outline of her legs.
The spotlights kept clicking as the director instructed Xu Qiao to pose in different positions.
"Come on, lie down, put your wrists next to your cheeks, show some vulnerability, oh that's right!"
The director was very pleased with Xu Qiao's expressiveness and photogenicness.
Some people are beautiful, but when they are in front of the camera, they are not as beautiful as they look in real life. This is what makes them unphotogenic. However, Xu Qiao looks good in front of the camera, and after being magnified by a high-definition lens, her face becomes even more eye-catching, which is even more rare.
He lay on the ground with his eyes closed, his slightly curly hair scattered around his cheeks in a messy manner, his lips were unusually rosy, and against his dull face, there was an urge to fuck him hard.
The more accurate description would be that it's like a caged forest spirit.
Hecate's users are all women, and inviting male stars to shoot commercials is just to sell male sex appeal. In this regard, the director feels that none of the male stars Hecate has invited in the past can compare to Xu Qiao.
This expression, this action, is so alluring.
Not to mention that he is a straight man, he was already feeling very excited, and those girls must be so dizzy.
The assistant came over with a bath ball, dipped some bubbles in it and rubbed it along Xu Qiao's slightly curly hair. Finally, he rubbed a layer of bubbles on his fingertips, especially between his fingers, paying more attention to it.
"Put your fingers on the thorns and hold them loosely."
Xu Qiao did as he was told.
The camera focused on the milky white bubbles between his fingers, and the onlookers looked puzzled. Li Feifei swore that he saw similar obscene expressions on the faces of several girls.
The thin, white fingers covered with white foam were loosely placed on the thorns, and the fingernails were pink, looking like they were holding something indescribable.
The director seemed to be enjoying the filming and asked, "Are there handcuffs?"
assistant:"… "
"Director, don't go too far. It can't be too radical." The assistant reminded quietly, with a hint of regret in his voice.
Feeling the low pressure emanating from Mo Chenghong who was watching from the side, the director saw that the promotional photos were almost finished, and coughed dryly: "Okay, it's almost done, let's change the location and shoot the main film."
The author has something to say: Everyone says I am short, tomorrow I will fuck you right here.
