Lin Yu did not directly request to change the heroine, but entered the filming state first.
Several special effects shots were shot in the studio, such as the shot of Lin Yu leaping over a speeding car. Another example is the last scene of the promotional video, where Lin Yu meets the heroine's eyes, and then the whole street suddenly becomes deserted.
The lens all needs to be backed by a green screen to capture the picture, and finally cut out the image for special effects.
In front of the green screen, Lin Yu first shot a few shots of flying cars. He hung the wires and made a few handsome poses. There was no technical content, and the shooting was completed quickly.
Then, John Lee shouted behind him: "Who is the heroine? Ian, call the heroine here, we have to shoot the last scene first!"
"I'm coming!"
Ashley Greene was still touching up her makeup with the help of a makeup artist. After John Lee called out, Ashley Greene hurriedly patted a few powder puffs on her face to cover up a few freckles between her nose.
He trotted up to John Lee.
"Lin, your task is very simple. Just hold the props and stare into this lady's eyes. Don't make any strange expressions or movements."
Lin Yu nodded and showed an unknown smile.
John Lee called behind him again: "Where are the props? Bring the props!"
Soon, the staff on site handed Lin Yu a Hermès bag.
John Lee had already turned to tell Ashley Greene: "Ashley Greene?"
Ashley Greene nodded, and John Lee continued: "Your scene is a bit difficult. Look at Lin with your eyes and be sure to show your love for him."
Ashley Greene responded: "No problem, sir."
"Okay, let's start shooting!"
The camera was focused on the green screen. Lin Yu held the Hermès bag in his hand, turned around handsomely, and then met the eyes of Ashley Greene.
Ashley Greene gave a timely response. She stared at Lin Yu closely with eyes full of love.
Standing opposite Ashley Greene, even if he doesn't like the heroine in front of him, Lin Yu can't help but admire her acting skills.
There was a puff, and before the shot was finished, Lin Yu laughed out loud.
"Click!"
John Lee stopped and asked Lin Yu from a distance: "What's wrong, Lin?"
Lin Yu waved his hand and motioned to John Lee to retake the scene.
Lin Yu's plan has just begun, and the time is not yet mature, so he has to wait, at least to shoot this scene two or three more times.
So, in another shot, Lin Yu repeated his old tricks, and he couldn't help but laugh again.
"Hey, Lin, you can't do this. Let's do it again. Don't laugh again."
While John Lee was talking, Lin Yu was still laughing in the third scene.
John Lee felt something was wrong, so he walked up to the front and asked Lin Yu: "What's wrong? Lin, you can't keep laughing like this. We can only shoot this shot five times at most. Any more budget will be dangerous."
Originally, the advertising video was a relatively simple task. Most of the shots were taken in one shot, and a few shots required a second shot. Generally, it would be successful after three shots at most. It is rare to fail three times in a row like Lin Yu.
The shots we are shooting now still require special effects in post-production, which are expensive and John Lee can no longer afford them.
Lin Yu controlled his smile, raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, and explained: "Okay, okay, John, I'll tell you the truth, I think the lady in front of me looks a little happy, and when I see her
The look in his eyes always makes him laugh out loud."
"Can't help it?" John Lee frowned.
Lin Yu shook his head: "It's difficult. I have a very high sense of humor."
"What should we do?"
John Lee's frown deepened, and Tony on the side jumped out at the right time: "Change the heroine, let Mr. Lin choose by himself, there will be no laughter."
Tony played the role of wingman. Lin Yu secretly gave him a thumbs up. John Lee nodded helplessly: "That's the only way it can be."
Then, John Lee called Ian: "Ian, ask all your actresses to come over!"
"What? Change the heroine?"
Shorty Ian was not happy when he heard that the heroine was to be changed. He jumped a little.
John Lee looked directly at him with a warning look: "What, what's the problem? Ian."
Ian reacted immediately: "No, of course there is no problem."
John Lee is just a small advertising director. Even so, he is still Ian's bread and butter. Ian does not dare to offend John Lee.
Shorty Ian can get to this point in the studio of Universal Pictures, so he has a certain IQ. John Lee is changing the heroine now. I am afraid that the Asian just fell in love with one of the white girls who were playing part in the movie.
.
"Is it Amber?"
Ian guessed, and at this time, Lin Yu had already sat in the director's exclusive seat. The group of actresses brought by Ian passed by Lin Yu one after another, auditioning one after another.
This made Lin Yu feel like he had gone to Wan to play in the past. The difference was that now standing in front of him was a group of white girls of much higher quality.
Although the white girls in front of me are all bit parts, where is Hollywood? Even if they are bit parts, their looks are not that bad.
The white girls who passed by Lin Yu were each more beautiful than the last, but Lin Yu had only one goal.
Soon, the white girl he was eyeing walked up to Lin Yu, a pair of charming eyes that kept shining at Lin Yu, but Lin Yu only noticed the purity on her face.
He immediately called a halt.
"It's her."
Lin Yu pointed at the white girl in front of him, and the dwarf Ian not far away cursed: "fxxk, it is indeed Amber!"
Ian was very angry, not because his person had been replaced, but because he had been hanging on this white girl named Amber for almost half a month. He seemed to be close to success, but someone else took the lead.
And judging from the other party’s status, it’s obvious that Amber will never come back after this shooting.
Amber Heard was pleasantly surprised. After her two sisters explained, she had already given up.
As a result, the tall Asian man in front of her with an angular face laughed one after another, which gave her a chance to be chosen again.
Of course, it's just an opportunity.
At first, Amber didn't think Lin Yu would choose her, but when Lin Yu blurted out the words "It's her" just now, Amber felt that happiness came too suddenly!
It had only been half a month since she came to Hollywood to look for opportunities. She never imagined that just half a month later, the position of a commercial heroine would be right in front of her.
For a moment, Amber felt that Lin Yu in front of her looked like Prince Charming from a fairy tale, so handsome that it was indescribable.
"Okay, let's re-shoot the last scene. Madam, please be prepared."
John Lee's voice interrupted Amber's fantasy, and then the filming of the last scene of the promotional video resumed.
This time it went well, Lin Yu didn't laugh anymore, and Amber Heard's performance was average, but advertising videos don't really require high acting skills.
John Lee didn't force it, he passed it in one shot.
Then it was announced that the remaining scenes would be shot on the streets of Los Angeles.
