Chapter 468 You make it...
Early on the 13th, Xu Chen had some breakfast in the hotel and took a taxi to today's shooting location, the "Ancient City" shooting area of Huairou Film and Television Base.
"Huairou Film and Television Base" is also a very influential film and television shooting and landscaping site in China.
Because it is very close to the center of Beijing, it has become the favorite filming place for Beijing-based film and television companies in the 1990s and 2000s.
"The Mansion Gate", "Iron-Toothed and Bronze Teeth Ji Xiaolan", "The Letter of the Fame", and later generations of "The Legend of Zhen Huan", "The Legend of Miyue", etc. were all filmed at the Huairou base.
This place was first built in the 1990s. It has just been expanded in the past two years and has become the current "Huairou Film and Television Base."
As an assistant director of the Baidu project production team, he has contacted Xu Chen in advance.
Xu Chen followed the instructions and took a taxi to the entrance of the tall archway of "Star Mei Jinsheng Film and Television City".
As soon as the taxi got off, a girl wearing a pocket work suit and a walkie-talkie on her chest walked over:
"Is it Mr. Xiao Xu?"
"I am Xu Chen." "Hello Mr. Xiao Xu, I am the assistant director Hu Jiahui who contacted you by phone. Just call me Jiahui."
The assistant director has a little dark skin and looks like he often shows off the outdoor scenes with wind and sun.
"Teacher Amy is already on the set, and is still preparing for filming...
Let's go here."
Hu Jiahui took Xu Chen into the main entrance of the film and television city.
The doorman glanced at the work sign on Hu Jiahui's chest and did not stop him.
A sightseeing electric car was already waiting in the door, and Xu Chen followed him into the car.
"Our shooting area is on 'Mingqing Street', and we will arrive soon."
...
In fact, I just took a turn and entered the area of "Ming and Qing Street".
What you see on both sides are imitated streets and alleys of the Ming and Qing dynasties, as if you are traveling through time and space. I also saw many familiar movies and TV drama scenes.
There were not many people walking along the way.
The film and television city also collects tickets to welcome guests, but perhaps it has just been expanded and has not officially opened to the public, and no tourists have been seen.
I only met a crew filming in an ancient house, but I didn't look at what the show was, whether there were big stars, etc...
After a few circles, I came to the shooting area of the Baidu project.
The crew set up four large tents in the rented shooting area.
About a dozen actors have already put on makeup and rested on the "city wall" to be filmed later. Among them is a "foreigner" actor wearing a tuxedo.
"Tang Bohu" is also very eye-catching. In fact, when looking for an actor in the early stage, he specially found someone who was somewhat similar to Zhou Xingchi in terms of image.
In the later dubbing, we will also directly find Zhou Xingchi's official dubbing Shi Banyu.
This generation of netizens have experienced the golden period of Hong Kong movies in the 1990s, and they also have some filters and emotional imprints for Zhou Xingchi.
This advertisement uses the image of Zhou Xingchi and Tang Bohu in this advertisement, which is naturally for the sake of resonance and communication...
In a tent, five or six staff members are working together.
Xu Chen saw Aimi Sun from afar, holding the script and connecting with the photographer.
A tall and thin girl in the crowd was directing around with a walkie-talkie in her hand.
She turned around and saw Hu Jiahui bringing Xu Chen over, so she quickly put down what she was doing and greeted her with a smile: "Hello, Mr. Xiao Xu, I am Ba Yu." Director Ba Yu, with a high ponytail, high cheekbones and nose bridge, wheat skin color, and long pair of phoenix eyes.
She has no makeup, but her facial features are delicate and beautiful.
When I was having a conference call before, I knew that the other party was a mixed-race of Han and Mongolian. Now when you see each other in person, you can still clearly see the facial characteristics of ethnic minorities.
Xu Chen reached out and grabbed it: "Hello, director, I am Xu Chen!"
Amy Sun came over when she saw the "boss" coming over, and she was already well-behaved.
Xu Chen and Ba Yu had a brief greeting and greeting, and then said: "Director, please hurry up and don't call me deliberately.
If you need my help, just greet me at any time. "
Ba Yu showed a hint of apology, but nodded and said: "I am finally debugging the equipment and positioning rehearsal, and the computer will be turned on in about twenty minutes.
Mr. Xiao Xu saw something that was inappropriate, just tell Jiahui at any time, she will give it back and we will adjust it immediately. "
Xu Chen smiled and said:
"Don't worry, I will definitely tell you when I see the problem."
Ba Yu smiled and turned to Hu Jiahui and said:
"Jiahui took Mr. Xiao Xu to the surveillance rest area first, and the client A of the Party should be here soon."...
The director continued to work.
Amy Sun greeted Xu Chen and hurried to continue the storyboard script.
Xu Chen couldn't sit still, so he swayed in the busy crew, and then went to see the actors' outfits.
This film highlights creativity and does not pursue exquisite and elegant style. The key to success or failure is the acting skills and performance of these actors.
Xu Chen had not participated in the actor interview before, but he had carefully watched the audition video, especially the actors starring Tang Bohu and foreigners, who were also carefully selected by "Mr. Xiao Xu".
…
After a while, two sightseeing cars slowly drove over and actually got off a group of seven or eight people.
Xu Chen turned around and saw Zhao Ling and Miao Xiaoyu from Baidu, and knew that this was a party customer.
In the middle of the crowd, Zhao Ling was Li Yanhong's wife and Baidu's boss Melissa Ma Dongmin.
Ma Dongmin is petite and wears a black suit. She looks full of aura when walking in front of the crowd.
It is indeed consistent with the gossip rumors on the Internet. She is actually somewhat similar to Ma Yun in Hangzhou...
Where, Xu Chen and director Ba Yu have already warmly greeted her.
Zhao Ling quickly helped introduce: "This is MelissaMa, vice president of our Baidu Group.
This is Mr. Xu Chen from Dongchen Advertising, and this is Director Ba Yu..."
Ma Dongmin had a gentle smile and reached out to shake Xu Chen and Ba Yu respectively.
Simply say hello, then shifted his eyes to Xu Chen:
"Mr. Xu... is so young!"
A very unexpected expression.
Xu Chen joked: "To serve an innovative Internet company like our Baidu, we naturally need young and energetic creativity."
It seems that he talked about creativity, but it was also a pun.
He did not deliberately explain his "youngness", but he cleverly caught the confusion and doubts that might be hidden in his words.
Ma Dongmin was a little stunned and then smiled happily.
Xu Chen's simple reply was light but appropriate, which left a good first impression on Ma Dongmin.
The director's intercom rang.
She looked back and said, "
"Mr. Ma, Mr. Zhao, Mr. Xiao Xu, we are about to start shooting.
The three of you can go to the surveillance rest area. There will be two assistant directors there, just give them any feedback."
Zhao Ling: "Teacher Ba Yu, just go and do your business."
Ba Yu nodded, turned around and trotted away.
...
The shooting area has begun to be dispatched, and Xu Chen accompanied the two leaders of Party A to sit in the rest area.
Xu Chen originally wanted to find some topics and was close to the boss of Baidu, but he had already realized that Melissa is a very serious person at work.
When someone was serving food, Mr. Xiao Xu didn't deliberately pretend to be polite.
Ma Dongmin picked up the shooting script on the table and looked like Xu Chen was very natural and talked about some of the key points of today's shooting.
He did not talk about the shooting process, execution plan, etc. After all, as the vice president and boss, Ma Dongmin would not really pay attention to too trivial execution details.
What Xu Chen said is actually the strategic and core idea of this advertisement.
For example, why did you choose such a creative form? The settings and symbolic significance of Tang Bohu, foreigners, and audiences, and the clever implantation of several major selling points on Baidu search.
The most new ⊥小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小�
After all, I have never reported or proposed in person to Ma Dongmin before, so I took this opportunity to sell the manuscript again and connect the consensus on the strategy.
The strategy behind it is actually quite complicated to revolve, but Xu Chen is still concise and to the point.
Basically, two or three sentences can point out the key to the problem.
Ma Dongmin listened carefully and said nothing.
When Xu Chen finished speaking roughly, Ma Dongmin closed the script in his hand and said: "Very good!"
She only said three words, then turned her head to look at Zhao Ling behind her, as if she had exchanged some information with her.
Xu Chen was a little confused, but just smiled.
Ma Dongmin cleared his throat and said to Zhao Ling: "Have you heard what Mr. Xiao Xu said just now?
If Robin still has questions, just tell him the thoughts that Mr. Xiao Xu said just now!
He studies technology every day and knows what market and promotion? !
According to the plan he chose, this wave of promotion is a pure waste of money! "
Ma Dongmin's words were sharp and did not give any face to Baidu's founder Li Yanhong.
Zhao Ling was smiling beside her, but she did not dare to speak.
Xu Chen knew that it was actually involved in Robin Li Yanhong's side.
In the previous project comparison, Li Yanhong chose another company's plan.
But after Zhao Ling privately showed Ma Dongmin the plan, she changed it to Dongchen's advertising plan.
Perhaps in private, Baidu boss Li Yanhong still doesn't understand or accepts it.
It was just because of the boss's power, Melissa, that was forced to accept it.
Ma Dongmin turned to look at Xu Chen again, and said with a straight face:
"Our promotion at the beginning of the year is very important. In addition to this online advertising film, there are also a series of actions.
Mr. Xiao Xu should also understand the background of the project...
The current competition between Baidu and Google in the domestic search market has entered a positional war and a war of attrition.
The next six months to one year will basically be announced."
When saying this, Ma Dongmin still showed a clear confidence momentum in his tone.
Xu Chen, who was reborn, naturally knew that in a short time, Google, which was frustrated in all aspects of the country, would announce that it would "withdraw" from the domestic market.
This battle of "the first place in search engines" was indeed Baidu's last laugh and became the three giants of Internet official website BAT, which is as famous as Tencent and Alibaba.
It’s a pity that a few years or more than ten years later, Baidu gradually fell behind due to the public opinion crisis of medical advertising and a series of business decision-making mistakes.
As a person who has been reborn, Xu Chen does not want to really intervene in the future cause and effect of this Internet giant. After all, there is no clear benefit to him.
But you can establish a relationship first, and then take a look at it later...
Ma Dongmin continued: "Mr. Xu's creativity is the key shell for our critical decisive battle!
So, no loss!"
Xu Chen also deliberately showed a serious expression: "It is really an honor for me and Dongchen to participate in this Baidu project and personally experience this "Century War" in the Chinese Internet world.
If we can contribute to the Chinese people’s own search engine, we will definitely do our best and live up to our mission! "
President Xiao Xu is still very good at supporting the role and providing emotional value.
Although his words sound a bit too high, it can be seen from Ma Dongmin's expression that the "protagonist lady" is very useful.
Ma Dongmin smiled and praised it, and said: "President Xiao Xu, I feel relieved with you!
I don’t know how to shoot advertising, but I’m here this time, because I’m afraid that you and the production unit will not pay attention to it.
After all, this advertisement is too important to us. "
Xu Chen once again made a serious promise:
"Don't worry, Mr. Ma, there will be no problem with the quality of the film, and we will definitely do it well.
And I am very confident about the spread of the film after it is launched, and it will definitely be a big hit! ”
Ma Dongmin smiled with praise, but turned his head to look at Zhao Ling, who was beside him.
Zhao Ling was obviously a little cowardly in front of Melissa, and she always laughed and never took the initiative to say anything.
…
…
…
Filming is done step by step.
There are many actors involved, so it is still very troublesome.
The boss of the Party A is here, and Ma Dongmin just now "clicked" the channel, so the supervisor Xu Chen is naturally working diligently.
He stared at the monitor meticulously and directly pulled assistant director Hu Jiahui to his side.
Even with some minor shooting deviations and opinions, Xu Chen asked the assistant director to give feedback on the intercom.
This is naturally for the boss’s wife Ma Dongmin to see.
The assistant director cooperated very well, but probably he was speechless. After all, Xiao Xu was watching too carefully...
At noon approaching, Ma Dongmin cleared his throat slightly.
Zhao Ling, who was standing beside her, said, "Mr. Xiao Xu, I need to trouble you for the afternoon shooting!
Melissa and the group meeting have to go back to hold."
Xu Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Ma and Mr. Zhao, I will keep an eye on it."
Ma Dongmin praised her: "Supervisor Xiao Xu is very serious and professional. I am really relieved to have you here!"
As he said that, Ma Dongmin had already stood up.
Xu Chen put down his headphones and quickly sent Ma Dongmin and Zhao Ling out first.
Walking to the sightseeing car that came to pick up people, Ma Dongmin shook hands with Xu Chen again.
She smiled and said, "I admire Mr. Xiao Xu very much. I wonder if Mr. Xiao Xu is interested in joining Baidu?"
She inadvertently glanced at Zhao Ling beside her again, and said, "You come to be the vice president of marketing, Zhao Ling will report it to you."
Xu Chen: "Ah?!"
Zhao Ling: (O_O|||)︴…
