Just two days before the Berlin Film Festival, that is, on the afternoon of February 5th, Johnny sent an invitation. The costumes and jewelry had already been re-produced.
After repeated applications from Michael, Danny finally agreed to this new planning plan on January 31st, and based on the advertising shoot, he added one more group as a preview for the "magazine" cover.
Photographed for publicity.
Under Johnny's strong recommendation, anny decided to use [god of wealth] as the [special guest] for this advertising shoot and paid a fee of up to 600,000 Chinese coins - as for whether he could become donner's subsequent "celebrity endorsement cat"
, after all, it depends on the response of all parties, this is the safest decision!
Because using a "cat" as a spokesperson, even as the person in charge of the Huaxia District, this "ahead of the times, ahead of the times" decision still requires the headquarters to go through multiple investigations, discussions, and final voting.
Not only God of Wealth, but also every spokesperson of Donner. From brand friends to brand ambassadors, they all come up step by step, and data is the most obvious way to influence decision-making.
This "special" agreement was expected by Xia Yu. Tao Tang had previously analyzed Annie's character for her. She was a Chinese-French mixed race, with the frankness and romance of France, but also the caution and humility of Chinese people.
"Michael's inspiration is very good. She will definitely be tempted, but she will not immediately ignore a plan that may "shock the industry." She will definitely give it a try and rely on data to judge. Once it is feasible, she will add it.
Big horsepower!”
As for whether Yuanbao can become Donner's first "endorsement cat", Xia Yu has an indifferent attitude. If it does, that's okay, if it doesn't, it doesn't matter. She had no intention of making money from this little thing.
The day after the agreement was signed, a special team came to measure the genre of the little guy. At the beginning, it was two young staff members. The little guy immediately quit and started showing off his hair and teeth. Even Xia Yu couldn't suppress it.
They stayed there until the leader, a seventy-year-old "old craftsman" took over. Although he was not happy, he endured it.
I'm afraid I'll be scratched.
This rare "quality" has also won high recognition from team members.
With this compliment, the little guy's tail almost lifted to the sky, but his whole demeanor was still arrogant and world-weary.
It took a few days to finally finish it.
Xia Yu's costumes have not changed much from before. There are four sets in total, but they are all pure black long skirts. They are sexy and at the same time add a reserved and elegant nobility and the mystery that Michael wants to create as the theme of this shooting.
The four pure black long skirts are similar, but not complicated. After all, they are based on jewelry.
This kind of simple and wide dress may seem simple, but it can really bring out the essence. But the moment Xia Yu puts on this dress, her tall body and crystal white skin almost make it look like she is wearing it.
The dress was pressed down.
This set of jewelry with the theme of "Green Peacock, Peacock Feathers" is divided into four parts: earrings, links, bracelets, rings - 18k white gold, colorless diamonds. Needless to say, the highlight is the emeralds!
Each part is a key group, with matching jewelry to complement it;
For example, the pair of earrings that look like peacock feathers,
There is no connected matching, which easily steals the limelight of the earrings. It is paired with a simple ring with a peacock head;
When taking photos of the necklace that resembles a peacock tail feather, other decorations will be discarded to avoid overpowering the subject!
Each part of the shooting has different styles and makeup, whether it is pulled into a bun, parted to the side, or let down naturally and casually——
And if Xia Yu's figure and temperament slightly overshadowed the elegance of this dress, when she put on earrings and rings, and when her long hair was slightly curled by the stylist and draped down the side, the whole state was extremely harmonious.
!
"Xia, you are so beautiful, I can hardly control my heartbeat, it's so sudden!"
Xia Yu used to wear light makeup before, but now she put on heavy makeup. Her dull temperament was suppressed by the makeup, and her own tough and intellectual royal sister temperament suddenly seemed to burst out of her shell.
At the same time, the little guy also took a bath and blew himself clean. This time, because it was a "test", the jewelry for him was mainly simple, with four parts - earrings, links, and bracelets.
, tail circle.
They are all very simple, and there are no bells. After all, cats are not suitable for wearing bells, as they can easily cause damage to their hearing——
When the little guy suddenly jumped up and landed on Xia Yu's shoulders, the staff on the side were a little surprised, fearing that the little guy would accidentally scratch the dress; Xia Yu was also helpless, although she knew that the little guy never made mistakes, but others didn't know
, I can only help apologize.
But at this moment, the little guy suddenly turned his head, put his forelimbs on Xia Yu's shoulders, and hooked his tail on Xia Yu's arms. Michael was inspired and immediately signaled, "The shooting can begin!"
Michael couldn't wait, and Johnny was also very nervous. After all, it was about whether he could be promoted early——
The lighting in the studio was adjusted, Michael adjusted the lens, and the picture quality immediately entered the state.
The first thing to shoot was the earrings and rings. As the shutter clicked, inspiration pictures kept popping up in Michael's mind, "Xia, your eyes can be more careless and slightly lowered -"
"Xia, can you communicate with God of Wealth? Let him raise his paw with the bracelet and lick it, but his eyes should look straight ahead, a little mysterious, and indifferent to everything!"
The two worked together for ten days and quickly re-established a tacit understanding. Here, Xia Yu expressed to the little guy - in fact, the little guy had already understood, but Xia Yu had communicated with him before and let him react accordingly.
Not so fast.
It's okay to be smart, but you have to keep it to a certain level and don't exceed the level of your pet's intelligence, otherwise it will easily cause trouble!
The shooting of the first group and the key group was also very smooth. It took one day to complete the shooting; and the second group was the group that was to be promoted in the magazine. Compared with the previous group, the "
"Mysterious, noble" means it is even more mysterious.
The previous group was of great importance. After all, anny didn't completely let go. He didn't use "darkness and silence" as the theme, but the addition of "god of wealth" was a sure sign.
This series with the theme of "darkness and silence" was freely used by Michael. The jewelry piece also uses "dark eyes" as the theme, and they are not particularly expensive, worth hundreds of thousands or millions.
Yes, it’s a special customized model costing tens of millions of dollars - throughout the entire shoot, Michael was completely open to expression!
The filming of these two groups ended exactly at 6pm on February 6th——
"I'm very happy to be able to work with you. You have simply subverted my perception of 'girls' - I believe you will be able to become a great actor!" Although he said this, Michael still loves Peach Girl more.
What's more, he feels that he doesn't have the power to win Xia Yu's heart. This is all beside the point.
"It's also a pleasure to cooperate with you god of wealth!" He extended his hand.
But it was obvious that Yuan Bao disdained this photographer who had had bad thoughts about Xia Yu. Even though he was very talented, God of Wealth said: It’s none of my business? He gave him a look of disdain and then slowly turned his head.
.
Michael didn't feel embarrassed and angry after being looked down upon, and laughed loudly, "What a little naughty guy!"
"I hope there will be another chance to cooperate!" Xia Yu said goodbye.
Johnny sent Xia Yu and his group to the airport. He knew that Xia Yu was going to participate in this Berlin Film Festival. Although he knew very well that with Xia Yu's age and qualifications, there was basically no chance of winning the award, but he still expressed his congratulations and said, "Bon voyage!"
Stepping into the airport heralds the successful conclusion of this shooting mission, at least for Xia Yu.
Zurich is not far from Berlin, only an hour's flight away, and it's only 8:30 pm when we board the plane and land -
As early as May 6th, Xia Yu's parents couldn't wait. They had been on the phone having fun in Hainan, but as soon as they had some free time, they started talking about their good daughter and wished they could call her three times a day.
After Xia Yi signed with the new club, he also went back to Huliang. After all, he no longer celebrated the Chinese New Year in Huliang. It was very likely that he would return to Huliang on the Double Ninth Festival or the Spring Festival of next year, and go back to help chat with Grandpa Xia Yu.
Although Xia Yi doesn't have much connection with his elders, he knows that his grandfather has always taken good care of his siblings, especially Xia Yu, so compared to his parents, he respects his grandfather quite a bit.
On February 5th, I flew straight to the Imperial Capital. First, I visited Mr. Zhuang, had a meal at the manor, and stayed in a hotel;
No way, Xia Yuzhen hasn't decided which location to buy the house in - whether to buy a location with a loan, which has a relatively good area, or full payment. Xia Yi just got the signing fee a few days ago, and all of it was transferred to her account.
Up.
Finally decided to wait until the box office release of "The Cure"!
At the same time, Wen Sui, who was doing research in Italy, originally had no plans to celebrate the New Year with Xia Yu today, but after learning that Xia Yu and his family were going to spend the Spring Festival in Berlin, she immediately changed her mind and changed her visa directly, returning on the 8th.
The flight ticket from Shanghai to Shanghai will be changed to Berlin on the 6th!
Therefore, when Xia Yu got off the plane, she was surrounded by these individuals.
Ms. Yu Heng was also influenced by young girls like Wen Sui and Meng Dong, and became less and less interested in Xia Yu.
Come back and see me when you see me!"
Xia Yu stared and muttered, "I don't know who it is. Instead of visiting the class during the holidays, they secretly went to Hainan for vacation!"
"What did you say?" Her mother glared unkindly, and the mother-daughter atmosphere that she managed to create suddenly dissipated.
It’s been a long time since I last saw Tao Tang and Meng Dong. Ms. Yu Heng let Xia Yu go and got close to them.
Wen Sui was really tired of praising her emotional intelligence. This time, she waited for Xia Yu's mother to finish the intimacy with Xia Yu, then she pouted, hugged her and whispered, "Damn woman, we haven't seen each other in almost two months. I
I miss you so much!"
Xia Yi on the side looked at this scene and could only stare. After all, he was old and couldn't be a clingy little girl like he did when he was a child.
He hugged her gently.
"You little brat, you're so tall again!" Xia Yu compared Xia Yi and himself. This kid must be 1.88 meters tall.
Xia Yi smiled happily. Only his sister was able to notice his changes for the first time. Then he turned his attention to the little Yuanbao. The little guy was so scared that he kept shrinking into the cat bag to minimize his presence——
As it gets smarter and smarter, it becomes more and more wary of Xia Yi, 'Oooh, ow, ow, this is a little devil!'
Finally, there was Comrade Xia. Looking at his biological father, Xia Yu smiled slightly and said, "Dad!"
Her father nodded lightly, but it was better than in previous years, and added, "Thank you for your hard work this year!"
Mr. Zhuang and Mrs. Zhuang did not come this time. One was because the two old people were quite tired after an eight-hour flight. The other was because of Ms. Yu Heng's words, "There is no reason to ask teachers to pick up students!"
Because I knew that with the theme of "Jinling Festival", I would definitely not be shortlisted for the main competition.
So in addition to Xia Yu, the old man also invited Gu Mingtao, Zhang Yunze, Tong Chengping, and Zhao Xinhui plus Xia Yu as the five leading actors. The screenwriter Zhao Jinhong must be the same, so there are so many people in total.
This hotel trip was arranged by Mr. Zhuang.
A small hotel, not too big, was also booked to avoid being harassed by domestic reporters.
According to the information given by Tao Tang, there are many Chinese films participating in the Berlin Film Festival this time. In addition to three films from the mainland, there is also one film from Xiangjiang and two from Wanwan. They are all arranged by famous directors and professional actors.
Among them is the film of the literary goddess "Fu Yijun" who had previously gone to Gu Zhao Studio to audition.
Under normal circumstances, directors who fly domestically to the three major film festivals are arranged to stay in a hotel or a nearby hotel. Zhuang He used to do the same, but as he got older and he was the chairman of the jury this time, he avoided suspicion.
At about half past nine, we arrived at the hotel where we were staying, a small hot spring hotel - an artificial hot spring.
When we arrived at the hotel, everyone was suffering from jet lag. We hadn't seen each other for a long time, so we had a lot of emotions when we saw each other again. The three male actors were fine, but the little girl Zhao Xinhui was more uncomfortable, even though she had a "Zhuang He Movie Starring" certificate.
She is famous, but due to her age and learning problems, her development in the industry has not been optimistic for more than half a year. She is not used to the social interactions in the entertainment industry, and in terms of appearance, she is younger, let alone similar to
Compared to actors like Xia Yu who are on the first level of good looks, many second-tier actors are better looking than her.
So this time, when chatting with Xia Yu, he made it clear.
"Sister Xia Yu, I may want to withdraw from this circle!"
Xia Yu didn't say anything, "Why don't you come to my studio" or "I recommend you to go to Great Wall Film and Television", but Zhuang He said, "The little girl has good talent, but she is still too young. She is sixteen or seventeen years old. If she has this
My idea is, you can go to film school first and then talk about other things!"
Because it’s not easy to get ahead in this circle. How many people can survive Xia Yu?
So Xia Yu only said, "Study hard first, and pass this year's college entrance examination first, and then talk."
After chatting with these acquaintances, Wen Sui took Wen Sui to the small courtyard where Mr. Zhuang lived. Mr. Zhuang had closed the door to rest, but he would definitely not refuse the student Xia Yu.
I haven’t seen him for a month.
She hadn't eaten well during this period, so saying she had lost weight was a bit exaggerated, but Mrs. Zhuang still felt distressed when she looked at her face, "I have lost weight!"
Mr. Zhuang curled his lips, "Why didn't I see it?"
Wen Sui was snickering on the sidelines. Actually, it couldn't be called snickering. It was quite upright.
After a while, Tao Tang also came in.
At this moment, Mr. Zhuang began to make arrangements for tomorrow.
