Meng Chang called Ding Xiyao aside and took a look at her.
She can't be said to be particularly beautiful, but she has a round face, short hair, regular facial features, big eyes, and slightly chubby cheeks, which naturally gives people a friendly feeling.
Wearing professional attire, this is what Meng Chang specially ordered yesterday, after all, he must highlight his identity as an agent.
Meng Chang had seen the photo before, and was a little worried that the photo was photoshopped. Now that he saw the real person, he found that there was not much difference from the photo, and he was a little relieved.
Appearance is quite important.
Although Meng Chang has made it clear that he does not want celebrities, but only down-to-earth ordinary people, the image of ordinary people also has requirements. If the audience is particularly disgusted at first sight, then Pei's propaganda method has collapsed from the beginning, and it will not be fun.
Went down.
The two of them came to sit down on the sofa next to the model room of the Sloth Apartment, and Meng Chang handed the script to Ding Xiyao.
The script is very thin, only a few pages long, and most of the content is about setting, action, and expression. There are almost no lines, only narration.
Ding Xiyao quickly scanned the script.
These scenes are quite familiar to her: working hard at her work station, screening housing listings; walking through alleys and nooks and crannies to see houses; introducing the features of the house to her client Ren Zhen, but the client turns around and goes
After renting another place, I hung up the phone with a disappointed look on my face; I was not understood by the customer, and was even pointed at and scolded. I could only bow my head and apologize, then go home and wipe my tears secretly...
On the surface, this seems to be a promotional video emphasizing how hard and difficult it is for intermediaries. It takes a warm-hearted approach and hopes to use these daily life clips to arouse people's tolerance and understanding.
The only thing that made Ding Xiyao feel a little bit more familiar with reality was the settings related to the store and workstations. The script was not written in detail, but there was a picture.
The picture shows a very small store. It does not have many workstations like other agency stores. Agents come and go. Instead, it only has a relatively high front desk, two high chairs, a coffee table and a single person.
A living area composed of sofas.
From all aspects, this small store can only accommodate one person. In reality, such an intermediary store will never exist.
But Ding Xiyao didn't think much about it. She felt that this was a promotional video after all, and the promotional video must beautify the actual situation.
Just like many movies and TV series, filming the workplace cannot be exactly the same as the real workplace, right? Various workstations are crowded together, and the people working are sleepy-eyed and low-spirited. It seems real when filmed, but the audience does not buy it.
This promotional video was probably taken into consideration that if it were shot realistically, other colleagues would appear redundant and the scene would be chaotic, so we simply cut them all off and only retained the shot of the protagonist.
Ding Xiyao didn't quite understand this, but he simply speculated that it should be the reason.
After all, promotional videos are nothing more than propaganda and beautification, so what other complicated tricks could there be?
Meng Chang said: "There is something that must be said first. After this promotional video is released, you may be scolded."
"But it's only possible. This possibility is relatively small, and even if you are scolded, you will be cleared of it soon."
"I'm just reminding you that although such a risk is not big, it does exist."
Ding Xiyao was a little confused: "Being scolded?"
"Isn't that true?"
"I saw that the content in this promotional video is quite normal."
"And I'm just an actor. There should be no reason for it to affect me."
Meng Chang smiled: "So I said the risk is not big. Some extreme people may attack you. Is there a Weibo account? If so, for safety reasons, please turn off private messages first."
Ding Xiyao was a little relieved: "I don't think there is any problem."
This promotional film paid a lot of money to the leading actors. Ding Xiyao felt that this was not an unconscionable thing. Even if someone scolded this promotional film because of the stereotype of the agency, it would not affect her.
Even if there are some extreme people, it won't have a big impact.
When she was working as a real estate agent, she also experienced stereotypes and cold looks, and she still had the ability to withstand this.
"So, Mr. Meng, does this promotional video have any profound connotations? I'm afraid I don't understand it well. Can you briefly explain it to me?"
I have never eaten pork, but I have always seen pigs running away.
Although Ding Xiyao has never made a promotional video before, the principles of making a promotional video and making a movie should be similar. The drama is just the surface, and the whole film has some deep connotations. This is grasped by the director and screenwriter.
As a non-professional actor and a complete layman, Ding Xiyao didn't understand this at all, so he asked Meng Chang so that he could better grasp the script and act in a way that met the requirements.
Meng Chang shook his head: "There is no connotation. Oh, no, it should be said that even if there is connotation, it has nothing to do with your performance."
"As for your acting skills, all I ask is that you show your true colors."
"Try to act out the feelings you had at your previous job. Just make it real. You don't have to worry about other things."
Ding Xiyao nodded: "Okay, then I will feel it and brew it."
Meng Chang asked Ding Xiyao to hold the script to prepare her emotions, while he went to check the layout of the scene.
After about half an hour, I came back.
"Okay, then let's officially start filming." Meng Chang looked at the time and saw that it was almost time.
Ding Xiyao was a little panicked: "Ah? I haven't memorized the script yet?"
Meng Chang smiled slightly: "It's okay, just take pictures, I know it well."
"Attention all departments, everyone is in position and ready to start shooting!"
…
At the same time, Chaolu Game Platform.
Yan Qi is worrying about what to make for the new game.
After experiencing an initial series of twists and turns, Chaolu Game Platform has completely established its foothold and occupied a place in the domestic game channels.
Platform games are bug-free, players make the decision, and they are game connoisseurs. These are all the unique memory points brought to players by the Chaolu Game Platform, which are very clearly distinguished from other game channels.
If there was still controversy at the beginning, now more and more players and developers have recognized Chaolu Game Platform.
At first, Yan Qi was worried that the Chaolu Game Platform would go out of business and was ready to find another place, but now he has no such thoughts at all.
Because he found that after the Chaolu Game Platform stabilized, it was not only a very comfortable place, but also had very good development prospects!
Some time ago, a batch of excellent independent games from the Qiu Tu Project were put on the shelves, further enriching the game library of the Chaolu Game Platform.
Some other outstanding manufacturers have also begun to seek cooperation.
The only thing that makes Yan Qi feel a little pity is that Chaolu Game Platform never seems to take the initiative to seek cooperation with those big companies. It has almost never signed any exclusive or first launch of super masterpieces, and it is completely a passive waiting attitude.
This also makes Chaolu Game Platform temporarily stop at being a niche platform.
Although players on the platform have a strong sense of belonging and identification with the platform, it is ultimately a pity that there are not enough significant and phenomenal masterpieces.
Many game platforms quickly became popular because they signed a contract with a certain super-hit game, starting from XX Game Launcher and developing step by step.
Without the support of super popular games, the platform will always lack some confidence.
It stands to reason that with the current size and financial resources of Chaolu Gaming Platform, it should be possible to negotiate cooperation with some major companies and proactively make some concessions.
But Chaolu Game Platform has never done this.
Yan Qi felt a little pity, because if the Chaolu game platform became more popular, his games would naturally gain more glory.
But then I thought about it, maybe this is the special feature of Chaolu Game Platform, it always does something unexpected.
If he really wants to contact those major companies to discuss cooperation, Chaolu Game Platform will definitely have to make some compromises, and it may not be able to maintain its current status.
It's not bad to play steadily as we are now.
After Chaolu Game Platform became popular among game connoisseurs, it did not increase publicity, raise funds or cooperate with other major companies while the iron was hot. It did not make any big moves, but continued to deepen the content of the platform.
There are more and more games on the shelves, and the difficulty of review is becoming more and more difficult. In order to ensure a bug-free reputation, it is natural to screen more carefully.
Of course, the so-called bug-free is just that. In fact, it means that there are no vicious bugs that seriously affect the operation of the game. It is still difficult to completely eliminate the smallest bugs.
But no matter what, it is fundamentally different from other game platforms.
Yan Qi has been very busy deciding which platform to use, because the game "Blade of the Empire" is like his own flesh and blood and cannot be trusted to other people. This has also seriously affected his development to some extent.
The energy of the game.
But now, he has made up his mind that it is enough to only go to the Chaolu game platform and the official platform. For other platforms, he can go to them if he can. If he can't, he won't force it.
With Chaolu Game Platform as a guarantee, you can come up with new games without any worries.
Although "Blade of the Empire" is still being updated and making money, Yan Qi doesn't want to continue it indefinitely.
Because the game "Blade of the Empire" is still a krypton gold mobile game in the final analysis. Even if it charges more conscientiously, it is not what Yan Qi wants to do most.
During this period, as he watched one independent game after another being put on the Chaolu Game Platform, Yan Qi suddenly felt that he should make something more meaningful.
In the past, the purpose of making money by doing krypton gold games was to support the company. There was really no better way.
But now that "Blade of the Empire" can make money, support the company, and have a good platform, why not make some games that you like more?
