"Mr. Shi, according to your wishes, our Shinhwa brand electric bicycles have been advertised in major quotation magazines!"
Yan Xiong stood next to Shi Zhijian with information in hand to report.
Shi Zhijian was dressed in white, with his hands behind his back, listening to Yan Xiong's report on advertising in newspapers and magazines, and watching Michelle on the stage filming an advertisement for an electric car.
On the stage, Spielberg, as the director, was concentrating on filming. Michelle's beautiful blond hair was styled into two pigtails and she was wearing suspenders. She jumped up to the electric bicycle and pulled out the stick in her mouth.
Tang, facing the camera, smiled and said: "The Shinhwa electric car will take you soaring!"
"Stuck!" Spielberg stopped, "This is not good, dear Michelle, your expression is very inconsistent with your movements!"
Spielberg explained: "Your character is an innocent and romantic girl. Holding a lollipop represents your yearning for a sweet life. Jumping up and down represents your liveliness and activity, so when you read your lines, you should be excited.
It’s sincere, not as casual as usual!”
While Spielberg was explaining, Shi Zhijian heard the staff muttering to the side: "It's not like we're shooting an Oscar blockbuster, do we have to be so serious?"
"Yeah, it makes him look like a super director!"
This commercial short film has been going on for a week from the polishing of the lines to the filming. Spiegel is very demanding and strives for excellence, which makes those who work with him a little overwhelmed and even more resentful.
Although Michelle didn't understand why Shinhwa Company invited an unknown director to direct this commercial, she was relieved when she heard that the director was introduced by Shi Zhijian.
For her, Shi Zhijian was a man she could never dream of. She was satisfied to be able to perform well in front of this man.
The filming continued.
After shooting for more than two hours at a stretch, Spielberg stopped, then played the sample footage and pointed out the areas that needed improvement. This time, even the photographer couldn't hold it back: "Director, I think the shooting is OK.
You’re pretty good at dimming the light, but many viewers can’t tell! They’re not from an aesthetic background!”
It turned out that Spielberg felt that there was a problem with the lighting, so he was preparing to improve the shooting.
"You're right, Shrek, but the audience also knows how to appreciate beauty! If we don't modify the lighting, then this advertisement will be a failure in their eyes! In addition, light can not only affect the look and feel of a short film
, and may also affect their desire to buy! Gentle light will give people a sense of closeness, while cool colors will give people a sense of distance. The electric vehicle we sell is a new product. It is originally far away from everyone, and no one is there.
Knowing this kind of product, if you use cool colors with a strong sense of distance to deal with it, the psychological implications will be obvious! You don’t want no one to see our advertisements and not even one electric car can be sold, right?”
The words left photographer Shrek speechless.
Other staff members were also dumbfounded. This was the first time they knew that they had to study marketing and psychology to shoot an advertisement!
Michelle was originally just being patient and working hard to complete the filming for Shi Zhijian's sake. At this moment, her beautiful eyes couldn't help but shine, as if she was meeting Spielberg for the first time.
"Very good, Mr. Shi!" Yan Xiong smiled and flattered Shi Zhijian, "This ghost director seems to be very capable. Look at how he talks to all the staff and makes them all nod!"
"He will become a super director in the future." Shi Zhijian said calmly, "Maybe in the future many people will line up to fawn over him for filming!"
"Really? Then we have to tie him up first! It's a pity that such a talent runs away!" Yan Xiong said.
Shi Zhijian looked at Yan Xiong with a smile.
Yan Xiong said hurriedly: "Did I make a mistake? Mr. Shi, what do you think I am doing?"
"Yan Xiong, do you know what I admire most about you?" Shi Zhijian put his hand on Yan Xiong's shoulder and said with a smile: "Two words, so treacherous!"
"Haha, thank you for the compliment, Mr. Shi. I haven't done enough! I will learn a lot from you in the future!" Yan Xiong knew that what Shi Zhijian said was a compliment, and he smiled from ear to ear.
"Then you help me rape --" Shi Zhijian said, pointing at Spielberg, "No matter what method you use, you must tie this ghost guy to the chariot of our Shinhwa Group. How about it?"
Can you do it?”
Yan Xiong immediately expressed his position: "Of course it can be done! Even if he kills people and sets fire, I will help you get rid of him! It's just a ghost guy, I only need to use three points of my power——"
"Hey, don't talk big! If you succeed, you will be rewarded! If you fail, you will be punished!"
"Mr. Shi, you always know rewards and punishments, I know that! Then just wait and reward me!" Yan Xiong said, but his triangular eyes looked at the ghost Spielberg, his eyes rolling around.
It happened that at this time, after Spielberg had finished watching the sample film and explaining his opinions, he turned around and saw Shi Zhijian and Yan Xiong.
Spielberg smiled at Shi Zhijian, and then said to the people around him: "You guys go about your business first, I'll be back as soon as I can!"
Spielberg walked up to Shi Zhijian, stretched out his hand and said: "Thank you, Peter Jian, I wouldn't have gotten this job if it weren't for you."
"No, you fought for all this by yourself!" Shi Zhijian smiled and shook hands with him, which showed that Spielberg was still very grateful to him.
"This is -" Spielberg looked at Yan Xiong.
"Oh, this is a senior executive of Shinhwa Company and a good friend of President John Hong - Luo Bayan! His Chinese name is Yan Xiong!"
Yan Xiong was stunned, when did he become Luo Bayan? Mr. Shi was so boastful that he didn’t even draft a draft!
"Hello, Luo Bayan, Yan Xiong!" Yan Xiong took the initiative to reach out to Spielberg.
When Spielberg heard that the other party was a senior executive of Shinhwa Group, he immediately reached out to shake hands with Yan Xiong and said, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Luo Bayan!"
"Ahem, if you can, please call me Yan Xiong. I'm not used to English names."
"OK!"
"Mr. Spielberg, I just watched the commercial short film you directed. To be honest, I am very impressed by you!"
"Oh, really?" Spielberg was very happy to receive such comments from Shinhwa executives.
"That's right," Yan Xiong put his hands behind his back and made a gesture with an enigmatic look, "We have an entertainment company under the Shinhwa Group. We are currently expanding into the British market and are mainly engaged in music production. Miss Michelle is ours.
A newcomer highly praised by the company!"
Yan Xiong paused deliberately to give Spielberg enough time to think.
Shi Zhijian smiled, as soon as Yan Xiong was given the task, this guy started acting like a monster.
The reason why Shi Zhijian did not personally win over Spielberg and take him under his wing was because he was too young.
In terms of age, Shi Zhijian can be the "boss" of Gates' classmates, but he cannot be the "boss" of Spielberg.
In addition, Gates is a man in science and engineering, so it is easier to grasp his personality.
Spielberg is a pure literary and angry young man, a sentimental animal. If Shi Zhijian takes action personally, it will be self-defeating!
Yan Xiong is different. This old fox is a real actor. Except for being slightly inferior to Shi Zhijian when it comes to deception, he can be said to be invincible.
"But while we are exploring the European market, we at Shinhwa Entertainment are also preparing to fully explore the American market!"
Yan Xiong blinked and looked at Spielberg up and down with his triangular eyes. Spielberg was embarrassed by his look. Just when he was about to ask, Yan Xiong said: "And I heard that you happen to be an American. We at Shinhwa Entertainment are almost the same in terms of music."
We have achieved a small amount of success, but in terms of movies, we are still blank—"
"Mr. Yan, what do you mean-"
"I mean, I admire you very much and I am very optimistic about you! I hope you can join our Shinhwa Entertainment and be the director and producer of our Shinhwa Entertainment. If possible, you will be our pioneer in entering Hollywood in the United States, and also our
A trump card!”
Spielberg was overjoyed at first, then hesitated when he thought of something.
Who is Yan Xiong? He can tell the other person's thoughts right away. Spielberg felt that Shinhwa Entertainment was not famous, so he immediately said: "Although our Shinhwa Entertainment is not famous now, isn't this an opportunity for you to make contributions? If we are a big name here
Yunji, what else do we need from you? Besides, our company doesn’t just hire anyone. Those who are talented can stay. If they are too bad, we will kick them out!"
Yan Xiong's move was so powerful that he immediately blocked Spielberg by seven inches!
"Don't worry, Mr. Yan, I am very confident in filming! I am willing to represent your company in Hollywood, USA!"
"Very good!" Yan Xiong adjusted his posture, and then looked at Shi Zhijian with his hands behind his back, "Is that so and so so and so, Mr. Shi Zhijian? I heard that you are talented, good at singing and dancing, oh no, you are good at creating - I wonder if you can
You can't help us write a script for Spielberg so that he can represent our company in Hollywood!"
Damn it, this old guy wants to rebel?!
Shi Zhijian glared at Yan Xiong. Yan Xiong pretended not to notice, and just coughed and puffed out his chest, but the cough showed that he was uneasy and lacked confidence.
"Well -" Shi Zhijian's mind was racing, thinking that whether it was filming "Jaws" or "Jurassic Park", it was a big deal and the investment was too big. He was afraid that Spielberg wouldn't be able to hold on at this time.
.As for "Schindler's List", not to mention, it is a big scene and a big production, which is completely expensive. I don't know if the filming can shock the Oscars like the previous one.
The safest way is to give Spielberg a low-budget movie and let him try it out first.
"I have a story here that you can refer to." Shi Zhijian pinched his chin and said, "It is said that three film school students went to the small town of Blair, Maryland to shoot a documentary about the Blair Witch. However, during the filming process, three students from the film school went to the town of Blair, Maryland.
All the people disappeared. A year later, people found the film footage they left behind, recording everything that happened before they disappeared..."
Shi Zhijian was talking leisurely, while Spielberg was listening casually.
In Spielberg's view, every line is like a mountain. Even if Shi Zhijian is super good at composing songs, writing scripts is different from writing lyrics. There is a big difference between the two.
"In the town of Blair, there has long been a legend about the Blair Witch who killed children. The concentration of children's cemeteries here, as well as the ancient stories that almost everyone in the town knows, all confirm the existence of the witch. Mike and the other three
Two classmates began to pursue Blair's story on a peaceful Sunday. However, as they went deep into the jungle, the curse began to befall them..."
Shi Zhijian relied on his memory from the previous time and space to tell the story of the famous dark horse movie "Blair Witch" in detail in his previous life.
As Shi Zhijian's story unfolded, Spielberg's expression changed, becoming a little surprised and a little curious.
Yan Xiong didn't expect Shi Zhijian to be so talented! He just wanted to make a joke, but he didn't expect Shi Zhijian to actually tell a story!
Michelle and others heard that Shi Zhijian was "creating" for Spielberg, so they all came over to join in the fun.
But when Shi Zhijian's story got to its climax, the laughter disappeared and was replaced by astonishment at Shi Zhijian's talent and shock at the story.
Michelle felt it the most.
As a girl, I am very sensitive to horror movies and horror stories. Coupled with Shi Zhijian's vivid descriptions, I was immediately frightened! I couldn't help but move closer to Shi Zhijian, as it seemed that this was the only way to get protection!
In fact, the reason why Shi Zhijian chose this historical dark horse movie "Blair Witch" was also due to investment cost considerations.
You must know that in the past time and space, this film will be remembered in film history as a dark horse in the Hollywood film industry. Its groundbreaking value is far greater than the entertainment value of the film itself. In 1999, as a low-cost and high-box office model, "The Blair Witch Project"
" still gives people a lot of surprises. The cost of tens of thousands of dollars is exchanged for hundreds of millions of box office. It has to be said that this is a myth and the realization of a real American dream in Hollywood.
"Blair Witch" deliberately wanted to create a sense of 100% purity of reality, so that long after the film was released, the producers insisted on announcing that the film was edited based on real footage purchased from the police.
They also deliberately faked the authenticity of the film through movie programs and websites. The effect is of course very outstanding. People's curiosity is easily aroused. Everyone has implicit or explicit voyeurism. This film
At first it was only shown in dozens of cinemas, but later expanded to thousands of cinemas, and the film copies were washed like crazy, which shows how popular it is.
At this moment, except for Shi Zhijian's voice telling the story, the surroundings were so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
As Shi Zhijian led the story to the climax at the end, Spielberg's eyes widened! Yan Xiong was breathing rapidly! Michelle covered her mouth in fear! Everyone else was also nervous!
"Ghost!" I don't know who shouted.
The scene immediately exploded!
Yan Xiong and Spielger huddled together!
Michelle hugged Shi Zhijian directly!
The others were also scared out of their wits!
Looking at the person I called before, I apologized very much: "Sorry, I called it wrong! There are cockroaches, not ghosts!"
"SHIT!" A group of people gave him the middle finger.
