Leisure is leisure, work is work, Lu Chen clearly distinguishes the two.
No matter how beautiful the scenery of Jinling is and how moving the scenery of the Qinhuai River is, they cannot make him linger and neglect his work.
On the second day after arriving in Jinling, Lu Chen got up early.
Classmate Li Feiyu was still sleeping soundly. He quietly left the hotel and ran outside to exercise.
After returning, Lu Chen woke up Li Feiyu, and the two went to the hotel restaurant to have breakfast.
After breakfast, Lu Ze arrived just then.
Today is the day to shoot the commercial. According to Yinma's arrangements, if the shooting can be completed smoothly in the morning, he will go to Senqi headquarters in the afternoon to take photos of promotional posters, and then he can return to the capital in the evening.
Of course this is the most ideal situation.
Film and television shooting is never simple. Even for the simplest commercials, there is no guarantee that there will be accidents and twists and turns. For example, errors in costumes and props, actors in poor condition, etc. will affect the shooting process.
Under the leadership of Lu Ze, Lu Chen first met with the shooting team of the Silver Horse advertisement.
Although it was just a commercial shoot, there were quite a few people in the shooting team, including directors, photographers, camera assistants, recorders, art designers, lighting engineers, lighting assistants, prop artists, makeup artists, plus field workers responsible for doing chores, pushing tracks, and handling.
, as many as a dozen people.
This also demonstrates the strength of Silver Horse Advertising. If it was that kind of grassroots team, maybe the director and a few photographers could handle it, and it would not be possible to arrange such a large battle.
In addition, it can also be seen that Senqi attaches great importance to and invests in this advertisement.
The filming location is on Xiangjiang Road in Jinling Film and Television City.
Jinling Film and Television City is a joint venture between the government and enterprises, with tens of billions of investments invested in it. It has already become one of the famous tourist attractions in Jinling City.
This Xiangjiang Road is built to imitate the Kowloon Commercial Street in Hong Kong. It is surrounded by high-rise shops, and there are also commuter trams and real subway stations. It is not much different from the real scene.
Many domestic movies and TV shows are shot here. Interestingly, it is said that even Hong Kong film and television companies have shot Hong Kong-style movies on Heung Kong Road.
When Lu Chen arrived, the filming team had just arrived.
According to the plan, the outdoor part of this commercial will be shot first. After completion, the indoor part will be shot. The plot is not complicated.
The plot of this advertisement tells the story of the male protagonist played by Lu Chen who overslept with the female protagonist who lives with him. The latter rushed to attend an important meeting in the company and accidentally left documents at home.
After the hero found out, he immediately put on Senqi sportswear and Senqi sneakers and ran out to catch up, only to find that the heroine had already left in a taxi.
So the male protagonist ran all the way on the street, climbing over many obstacles in the process. When the heroine arrived at the conference room but found that she did not bring the documents, the sweating male protagonist was like a magic weapon descending from the sky!
The moved heroine kissed her on the spot, causing everyone in the company to applaud and cheer.
Finally, the camera focused on Senqi’s logo.
Lu Chen had read the advertising script a long time ago and has memorized several lines in his mind.
The role he plays does not require high acting skills. The only difficulty is that during the running process, in order to show the brand's sports characteristics, there are several scenes involving parkour.
As for Silver Horse's advertising, we plan to use a stand-in, that is, a professional parkour enthusiast.
Lu Chen arrived a little early. With Lu Ze's introduction, he chatted with the director of the shooting team and listened to the latter's explanation of the key points of shooting. After all, the main shots of this commercial were all on Lu Chen.
The director also introduced Lu Chen's stand-in.
The stand-in is a professional fitness instructor. His surname is Wang and he looks nearly 30 years old.
He is slightly shorter than Lu Chen, but his muscles all over his body appear to be very strong. He is a bit shy when he speaks, and he obviously has a straightforward personality.
The director told Lu Chen that this fitness instructor was a soldier and loved parkour. He once won fifth place in a national parkour competition.
After understanding the director's intention, Lu Chen thought for a while and asked, "Director, can you not use a stunt double? Let Coach Wang demonstrate those parkour moves to me first, and then I can complete them myself?"
"No need for a substitute?"
The director was immediately startled and looked at Lu Chen with disbelief: "Are you going to complete the action yourself?"
The photographers, lighting technicians, makeup artists and coach Wang next to me all looked a little strange.
Of course, professional things need to be done by professionals, although using a stand-in is more troublesome. Post-production editing and modification are required to avoid distortion, and it greatly increases the difficulty of shooting.
But it’s better than Lu Chen taking the risk!
One of the shots in the commercial requires the male protagonist to flexibly climb over a railing and then jump over a 3-meter-wide flower bed. Without sufficient jumping ability, it is impossible to complete. If you don't understand the skills, you may even get injured.
The director felt that Lu Chen was a little ignorant, but of course he concealed his disdain very well.
The director of the commercial is not a film and television director. There is such a gap in celebrity that even celebrities and artists cannot afford to offend.
So he could only explain it nicely: "That's too dangerous. We can't take such a risk. Please understand."
Lu Chen smiled, but did not insist on his own ideas and chose to respect the director's arrangement: "Okay then"
The director was secretly relieved.
He has shot many commercials and knows how difficult some celebrities are!
Lu Chen is obviously not that kind of person who is easy to talk to.
After comforting Lu Chen, the director raised his wrist and looked at his watch, frowning.
He turned around, pointed at his watch and asked his assistant: "Look at what time it is now. Why hasn't Miss Sun Shan come over yet? Why don't you call and hurry up? What are you doing here?"
The assistant shrank his head after being scolded and quickly took out his cell phone to contact him.
The director then said to Lu Chen: "Mr. Lu Chen, I'm so sorry. Please be more patient. Miss Sun Shan may have encountered something over there. Can you please sit here first?"
Lu Chen smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, I'll wait a little longer."
Sun Shan is Lu Chen's co-star in this commercial, a third- and fourth-tier film and television star.
Lu Chen searched the other party's information on the Internet and knew that the other party had appeared in several movies and TV series. Although they were all supporting roles, he was quite popular on the Internet. It was said that he was very good at hype and had won one or two unknown awards.
Sun Shan is quite beautiful, but her reputation is not very good.
Of course, Lu Chen didn't care about the other person's character. Anyway, he just collaborated on an advertisement.
But he soon realized that his thinking was too simple!
After the assistant made the call, he timidly came over and said, "Director, Miss Sun Shan is still in the hotel and said she will be there in about an hour. What do you think we should do?"
"An hour more?"
The director was so angry that his eyes widened: "So many people are waiting for her."
He suppressed his temper and didn't let it out. He waved his hand vigorously and said, "Forget it, don't wait any longer. Let's shoot the male protagonist's part first. Everyone, hurry up and get ready!"
As soon as the director gave the order, the filming team got busy immediately.
The photographer set up the camera, the makeup artist rushed over to put makeup on Lu Chen, and the lighting assistant ran around holding the reflector.
The on-site recorder led the crew to isolate the curious tourists who came around to watch the fun, so as not to interfere with the filming work.
The first person to start filming was not Lu Chen, but his stand-in.
Coach Wang put on a full set of sportswear and sneakers. After the warm-up, he started the first filming, which was mainly about climbing over obstacles.
This professional coach was very capable. After running for more than ten steps, he suddenly jumped up and easily jumped over several boxes stacked on the roadside. His movements were very smooth and vigorous.
The camera installed on the rail followed his footsteps and captured the entire process.
The first time it went smoothly.
The director was very satisfied and passed directly after watching the replay.
The next second parkour scene is much more difficult. It requires the stand-in to climb over the railing and then jump over the flower bed and land on the grass. Since the jump distance is relatively long, there is a certain degree of danger.
While trying to be a substitute, Lu Chen received a call.
An unexpected phone call.
"Sister Fei?"
The person who called him turned out to be Filia Chen: "Lu Chen, where are you?"
Lu Chen was confused: "I am currently filming a commercial in Jinling. Sister Fei, do you have anything to do with me?"
Filia Chen chuckled and said, "I can't call you if I have nothing to do?"
Lu Chen: "Uh"
Filia Chen smiled and said: "I'm not kidding you, you filmed in Jinling Film and Television City, right?"
Lu Chen said: "Yes, I am on Xiangjiang Road now."
Filia Chen said: "I have filmed there and am more familiar with the place than you, so I will give up first."
Lu Chen was stunned: "Oh, goodbye, Sister Fei."
After the call with Filia Chen ended, Lu Chen felt a little inexplicable.
"ah!"
Just as he was thinking about it, suddenly a painful scream came from in front of him.
Lu Chen was immediately taken aback and rushed over with several on-site staff.
Then it was discovered that something happened to his substitute, Coach Wang!
It turned out that when filming the scene of jumping over the flower garden, Coach Wang did not handle it properly when he landed. As a result, he twisted his foot and was so painful that he could not stand up.
Everyone helped to lift him up and brought him a stool to sit on.
When I took off my sneakers, I saw that Coach Wang’s ankle had begun to swell!
Although it is not known whether Bones is okay or not, with him looking like this, it is definitely impossible to continue filming.
And the shots in the front were shot in vain.
Because someone needs to be replaced.
The problem now is where to find replacement personnel temporarily. You must know that these actions are quite difficult and not just anyone can complete them.
The director's sadness is almost like a river flowing against the current!——
