After the audition started, all the invitees entered the studio, including Yin Chang and Wang Chen, there were a total of five stars present.
When they are separated, they are very dazzling compared to ordinary people, but when they stand together, it is clear at a glance which is better.
Among the five, Yin Chang's overall image and temperament completely crushed the others, including Wang Chen.
It stands to reason that Wang Chen also grew up pampered since he was a child, but when the boys stand together, their body shape, posture and body proportions can all reflect a person's aura. When a few people meet, they still don't feel much. Waiting to stand side by side, Everyone found that almost everyone was a full circle smaller than Yin Chang, and they didn't look so conspicuous at once...
Moreover, Wang Chen's overall look is a little bit Korean-he has light blonde hair dyed on the top of his head, three diamond stud earrings on his left ear, and his clothes are a bit loose and fancy-compared with Yin Chang, who has black hair, black shirt and black trousers, Not like a star, but like a little internet celebrity.
However, apart from Wang Chen, the others are all mentally prepared to play supporting roles, only Wang Chen is not. He debuted at position C in this year's "Absolute Idol". He is a person who wants to be the protagonist. At this moment, Yin Chang who appeared out of nowhere steals the limelight, and his mentality has already collapsed into a mess.
Fortunately, he has a strong ability to manage facial expressions. Even if he is so angry that his stomach hurts, he still smiles like a spring breeze on the surface.
Afterwards, several people put on VI's watches and went up one after another to take a group of photos according to the poses and movements specified by the photographer.
When the photos came out, Wang Chen and Yin Chang looked about the same again. After all, Wang Chen was more experienced than Yin Chang when facing the camera, and he knew how to show his best side, and the most important thing was... no comparison. There is no gap.
Every time the photographer finishes taking a group of photos, they will be sent to the later stage for simple color correction, and then directly passed to the jury in the next room.
The photos were projected onto the big screen by the projector, the art director Luca sat in the main seat facing the screen, and several managers sat on both sides, playing photos and discussing at the same time.
"I think Wang Chen's single photos are very expressive."
"Not bad, especially when he smiles, he is very sunny and energetic, which perfectly reflects the youthful fashion sense we want for this watch."
"Compared to Wang Chen, the clothes Yin Chang chose today seem to be at a disadvantage."
"Yeah, all in black, it looks a bit cold."
"Uh, although he is not as energetic as Wang Chen, but he has a sense of high class."
"I also have this feeling. The market price of a K-series watch is around 6,000, right? I always feel that wearing it on his hand seems... more than this price?"
Manager Xie couldn't help looking at Luka who was on the main seat, and asked, "Luka, what do you think?"
From the very beginning, Luka didn't say a word, as if he was deaf to other people's discussions, he just crossed his index fingers and looked at every photo that passed before him seriously.
Hearing Manager Xie's words, he raised his hand as a gesture of calm down, and then continued to stare at the screen.
The atmosphere in the discussion room suddenly became a little dignified, and the managers stopped interjecting, and only introduced who this one was, what resume he had, who that one was, and what background he had.
After Luka looked at the photos of the five people over and over again, he lowered his head and picked out the two files of Wang Chen and Yin Chang from the five files, and said, "This is what you mentioned in the email. Two, right?"
The marketing manager immediately said: "Yes, we were more inclined to choose Wang Chen before, that is, the boy with light blonde hair."
Luca nodded, and motioned the staff to replay Wang Chen's photo, and commented slowly while putting it on: "His image is very good, VI's watch matches his shape, but his photo is too personal, our watch is worn on the He looks like an ornament, and there is a substitute for ornament...”
This evaluation stunned those who supported Wang Chen.
Luca looked down at Wang Chen's information again, and said, "Maybe this person is relatively famous in your country, and maybe he has a better promotional power in the market. These have to be considered in conjunction with your suggestions."
The marketing department, which has been publicized by Wang Chen's team, was relieved to hear the news, and reported a bunch of data in favor of Wang Chen.
Manager Xie asked anxiously again: "What about Yin Chang?"
The staff cooperated and replaced Yin Chang's photo. Luca looked up at the screen and said four words: "He is perfect."
Everyone: "..." Perfect? With such a high evaluation all of a sudden, is this going to directly choose Yin Chang
"And he pays great attention to details," Luca said admiringly, thinking of the young man who had just finished washing his hands in the bathroom and didn't forget to fold the towel. , he chose a sea blue watch and saw his photo - we will pay attention to those special colors on him at a glance, such as the watch on his wrist."
The room was quiet, except for Luka's voice full of praise for Yin Chang, those who supported Wang Chen already sighed "coolness" in their hearts.
But while Luka was talking, he suddenly shook his head regretfully and said, "But, he is so beautiful."
Everyone: "???" What do you mean
Luca: "No matter how deliberately he weakens himself and embodies our products... But my eyes will still be attracted by his face in the end, and I will want to pay attention to him and know who he is... Just like someone said just now Yes, he is too advanced."
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, only Manager Xie dared to ask: "Senior... isn't it good?"
Luka regretted: "He made me feel that our watches are not worthy of him."
Everyone: "..." What kind of perverted evaluation is this? Dislike the cheapness of your own products because the spokesperson is too good? But Yin Chang is just a newcomer, no matter how high-level he is, he still has a celebrity position. Is it possible that he should directly endorse Si Wenqi's BG brand or Patek Philippe
Manager Xie asked tremblingly: "Then do you think Yin Chang is not suitable?"
Luca was also very conflicted. He looked at the profiles of the two of them again, and said, "Isn't there a short film in the afternoon? Let's make a decision after the short film is finished."
A group of people went out with different expressions.
During the lunch break, the VI public relations department arranged hotel lunches for several celebrities. While eating, Manager Xie called Yao Manhuai to the bathroom, and quietly revealed, "I feel that Yin Chang's hopes may not be great."
Yao Manhuai frowned: "How?"
Manager Xie: "Our art director thinks that Yin Chang is too advanced, and he said that our watches are not good enough for him."
Yao Manhuai has been in this industry for so long, and this is the first time she has heard such an evaluation...
Manager Xie comforted her again and said, "However, Luka has a very high opinion of Yin Chang personally. When he sees the real person this afternoon, he might change his mind."
Yao Manhuai nodded. She was afraid of affecting Yin Chang's state, so she didn't tell him the situation after she went out.
In fact, taking pictures has a greater advantage for Yin Chang. At any rate, he has taken a lot of magazine and fashion photos during this period, but Yin Chang has no experience in making short films.
After reading the script, Yin Chang didn't even know how to perform such an embarrassing action of "slowly put on the watch, and make an expression of intoxication and enjoyment in the process, and finally touch his arm and close his eyes"... During filming , Yin Chang felt his whole body was stiff.
And Wang Chen's performance in the short film project is much better than him, and the effect of the shooting is obvious to all.
In the end, VI Company took into account the opinions of all the judges and decided to make Wang Chen their new spokesperson for the next two years.
When the manager of the marketing department went to announce the good news to Wang Chen, Wang Chen stood up proudly, all the grievances he had suffered today were swept away in an instant. Just like winning the championship in the absolute idol not long ago, he felt that there was a great light shining on him at this moment, and the guy named Yin Chang could only stand in the shadow behind him, envious of him, jealous of him...
So what if he looks more handsome than himself? So what if the popularity is high? In the end, everything depends on strength! Hahaha…
Several other managers of VI company also filed in, thanking all the stars for auditioning. In addition to the audition fee, they also prepared a sumptuous dinner and planned to invite everyone to enjoy it together.
The last one was Luca, looking for someone in the room through the crowd.
Obviously, Wang Chen also found out about Luka's background through his own channels, knowing that the other party has a very important position in this selection. He straightened his clothes, raised a confident smile, and wanted to solemnly thank this discerning art director.
Unexpectedly, Luka's eyes went directly past him and looked at Yin Chang behind him.
Then, Luka walked towards Yin Chang, ignoring the eyes of others: "Hello, Yin Chang."
Yin Chang: "Huh? Hi..." That foreigner you met in the bathroom
"I'm the art director of VI, Luca," Luca smiled gently, "I'm sorry, I didn't choose you today."
He spoke English, fearing that Yin Chang would not understand, he specially called his translator just now, and the translator followed behind him, and was about to relay, when Yin Chang also answered Luca in fluent English: "Ah ,It doesn't matter."
After filming the short film, Yin Chang was mentally prepared to lose the election. He won't be proud of the victory or complain about the defeat. He has a good attitude and tolerance for such things.
Luca's eyes lit up when he heard that he could speak English, and continued: "But I want to tell you that it's not that you are not good enough, but that the VI product is not suitable for you. Our BG brand under Si Wenqi is preparing for the second half of the year. Launch a young elite watch, the grade and price of that watch are much higher than VI... I want to recommend you to be the spokesperson of that watch in the past, I wonder if you would accept it?"
Yin Chang nodded while listening, and was caught off guard at the end: "This..." He glanced at Yao Manhuai, wanting to ask Yao Manhuai for his opinion.
Yao Manhuai's English is not bad, she already understood what Luca meant, and immediately stepped forward and said, "Hi Luca, I'm Yin Chang's manager Samantha, we are very willing to accept this invitation, and feel very honored."
…
Wang Chen anxiously poked the manager beside him: "What are they talking about?"
With Wang Chen's resource background, the agent assigned to him by the company is naturally also a decathlete. After listening to the conversation between Luka and Yin Chang, she was dumbfounded: "Luka invited him to be the latest watch of Siwenqi BG. Spokesperson... "
Hearing her translation, everyone in the room was dumbfounded.
...BG under Si Wenqi's banner? ? That BG that costs tens of thousands of dollars for a watch!
They really plan to invite a newcomer like Yin Chang to be Dangdang's spokesperson! ? ? Σ(°△°)︴
Wang Chen: "...!!!" Damn it! Why should he! ! (╯‵ ′)╯︵┻━┻
