He went undercover on the set and was discovered. The key thing is that he did an exclusive interview with Li Qian not long ago.
Shame on you!
What a shame!
It's embarrassing, but the key point is that there is no useful information at all. I only know that there are product placements and things like car sharing that I have never heard of.
They were all insignificant scenes. The only important thing was probably that the tramp-like Li Baotian appeared in front of Deng Chao and was immediately taken away.
The only useful scene was carefully analyzed by Lu Chao on the train back to the capital.
At the launch conference, Li Qian said that Li Baotian played Deng Chao's father.
But Li Baotian appeared so slovenly, and as soon as he appeared, he was taken away by some people nearby who seemed to be monitoring the Deng Dynasty.
There seems to be a conspiracy!
Unfortunately, I was discovered before I could figure out what the plot was about.
Not to mention how embarrassing that scene was.
However, by the way, Lao Wang and the remaining two colleagues were also exposed, and the four people were embarrassed together, so it was not so embarrassing.
As I was thinking about it, my phone suddenly rang, and it was the editor-in-chief calling.
After the call was connected, the editor-in-chief's voice on the other side of the phone was not gentle, "Where are you now?"
"I'm on the train, arriving in Beijing in the evening."
"You're coming back, there must be some good news?"
"Editor-in-Chief, I found nothing. I was discovered by Li Qian."
"I don't care whether you have been discovered or not. Where is the news I want?"
"There is nothing found in the news." Lu Chao answered bravely. It is estimated that the hotel expenses will not be reimbursed in the past two days.
"Have you gone on a trip?"
The editor's voice suddenly shouted, "The news from Tengxun has been sent out, and the video is also included. What's the use of you? There's no need to come back!"
There was a "pop" sound and the phone was hung up.
"?????"
Lu Chao looked at his phone in confusion, what's going on?
He quickly opened the laptop movie and clicked on Tengxun News.
Sure enough, the main business is right at the center, a big topic, I am afraid that my short-sighted people can't see it clearly.
"Exclusive reveal of the filming location of "The Truman Show", Li Qian's new film is suspected to be a commercial!"
Advertisement?
Could it be?
As I read on, the news first introduced "The Truman Show" and then began to reveal the secrets of the set.
First, something that doesn't hurt or itch, just a few photos near the square.
Next are two videos of more than ten seconds, with relatively small frame and limited definition.
It was exactly what Lu Chao saw at the filming site, the scene where Deng Chao was stopped by two extras and said he was considering buying insurance.
Both videos are the same, but they are not the same shot because the store has changed.
Deng Chao was pressed against the wall by his shoulders, and the posters on the wall of the two videos were Wallace and Yonghe Doujiu respectively.
In the movie, the camera is a close-up, but this video is not. The original close-up is two seconds, and this video is more than ten seconds from when Deng Chao was stopped to when the two people left.
Under the news, just like the title, it was pointed out that Li Qian was suspected of selling advertisements, and that the same plot also sold two advertisements and implanted two products.
"I'll wipe it!"
Lu Chao took a photo of the train window bitterly, and happened to be seen by a passing police officer, who stared at him for a long time.
"There are mosquitoes," Lu Chao said with some embarrassment.
After the policeman left, Lu Chao cursed again, "Wipe it!"
Without even thinking about it, this news must have come from Lao Wang.
As expected of a veteran who has been in the industry for many years, he was just kicked out by Li Qian and wrote a five to six hundred word press release so quickly.
But where did the video come from?
It looked like this was filmed across the street, where all the extras who didn't have a part in the scene were watching. Could it be that he brought a very secret camera.
That's not right. Reporters don't use that stuff, let alone big media like Tencent. Only paparazzi use it.
Are those the other two colleagues?
This makes sense. Lu Chao felt at that time that the other two were paparazzi.
Paparazzi and reporters are different professions, and you can probably tell this after two years in the industry.
In other words, it is very likely that the two paparazzi entered the set with a very secret camera, captured the footage and then sold the film to Lao Wang.
"Rip, old fox!"
Lu Chao let out a long sigh. He was still a little too young. After being kicked out, he went straight to the train station to buy a ticket and get on the train. Unexpectedly, someone else had already completed a dirty deal, and even the news came out.
At this time, the train broadcast station began to broadcast station information, and it was about to arrive at Zhengzhou East Station.
Unwilling to do so, Lu Chao stood up and walked to the door, waiting to get off the bus. He wanted to return to Jiangning.
At this time, Tengxun revealed the news that "The Truman Show" was a movie selling advertising, which immediately attracted the attention of many netizens.
"What's going on? Penguin's exclusive reveal? Didn't this just start?"
"Selling ads? Penguin eats and drinks in fake bars. Li Qian earns 500 million from one movie, so there is no need to sell ads."
"It seems that "If You Are the One 2" has 20 advertisements embedded in it. The implantation fee alone is 60 million, which is not a small amount."
"It shouldn't be the case. Li Qian is not short of money, and there is no need to ruin his reputation."
"Hey, I'm an employee of Wallace. I heard that our company gave Li Qian 10 million in implantation fees."
"Shall I rub ten million? Just ten seconds?"
"It didn't last more than ten seconds. I don't know who filmed it. There shouldn't be that many close-ups in the movie."
"Ten million for an advertisement, which is more expensive than a CCTV advertisement. No wonder Li Qian accepted it. You really gave too much!"
"Actually, it's okay to sell advertisements. It's normal for movies with modern backgrounds to have product placement. But in the same location, with the same actors, and in the same scenes, two types of ads are actually implanted. How can it be any more crazy?"
"I wiped it, and then I realized that these are two different videos, but one is a Wallace advertisement and the other is Yonghe Soy Milk!"
"It's exactly the same. The two people stopped Deng Chao and said something, chatted for a while and then left."
"Just to sell two advertisements, he shot two identical scenes. Is Li Qian crazy?"
"No, you didn't notice the key point. This is exactly the same shot, but Deng Chao seems to be a little different. Other than that, it seems to be a repeat of the previous video. Could it be that the protagonist has traveled through time and space and returned to the past?
Will you experience two identical scenes one day?"
"Damn it, I didn't expect this. Is this ultimately a science fiction movie?"
"No, no, that store has changed, from Wallace to Yonghe Soy Milk. This means it's not the same day. Li Qian wouldn't make such a low-level mistake."
"So, is it to deliberately switch to two stores? Does this section have a profound meaning?"
"Come on, let's break it down. First of all, the characters and the plot have not changed, but the background has changed a bit, which means it is not like "Groundhog Day", where the same day keeps repeating, or traveling through time and space to return to the previous day.
But the two actors are repeated. Deng Chao looks a little different, so he is not repeated, and the time is not repeated. This means that there is no time travel. There is no problem with Deng Chao. The problem is with those two actors.
Do they keep repeating it?”
“Big Brother 666, it’s simple and clear when you put it this way.”
"Pass tea to the boss, your analysis is so right!"
"Then how do you explain the repetition of those two people? The time has changed, the place has not changed, and the behavior has not changed. It doesn't make sense."
"I understand, there is only one situation, only the program will keep repeating. Those two people have been set with a certain program, so they will repeat the same behavior at different times and in the same place!"
"Oh no, is it a robot?"
"It may also be that people have been implanted with some kind of chip and are controlled."
"If I think about it carefully, I'm afraid that except for the protagonist, everyone else is controlled by others, and only the protagonist is normal."
"It's all right, it's all right. Li Qian said that "The Truman Show" is the real world. It is an inspirational story, a story about pursuing the true self. In other words, except for The Truman Show, everyone in this world is controlled by someone.
People controlled by this kind of power are implanted with some kind of program, so this story is the story of Truman saving the world?"
"Yes, that's the only way to understand it, otherwise it won't make sense."
"Hahahaha, we finally guessed it right. It's not easy! It's not easy!"
"Except for the first one, one of the 5 movies was guessed in advance, 1:4. Come on, brothers, let Li Qian have nowhere to hide!"
"How proud and elated! I wonder if any of our netizens who have been around for 5,000 years and are proficient in astronomy and geography, both ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, can still be stumped by Li Qian!"
"Li Qian has been keeping it secret from us, but now he can't hide it anymore as soon as the filming starts. I really want to see what Li Qian's expression looks like now, haha."
"I guess I must have been frightened, and I won't dare to lie about it in the future."
"It must be constipation. Li Qian will be depressed for a while."
Just as netizens guessed, Li Qian now looks constipated. He really wants to shout: Come out, you are just thinking!
It would be more appropriate to have a Poké Ball, throw it on the ground, and then shout out.
However, it is still good enough for the second grade.
"hehe"
"Boss?" Guo Fan was confused and looked at Li Qian who was laughing.
The assistant director in charge of casting the extras was already trembling with fear. Seeing that Li Qian was not only not angry, but also smiled, he became even more trembling.
It's a sign of the coming storm. Finally, Director Li needed too many assistant directors this time. There were seven or eight assistant directors just to arrange the extras on the spot. After working with Li Qian for six movies, he was finally promoted from a set worker to a handyman.
As an assistant director, I didn’t expect to encounter such a thing when I first took up the position!
Li Qian stopped laughing at the right time and shook his head, "Go and do your job. The crew also lacks professional workers like you."
Although this does not have much impact on the crew, if you do something wrong, you will be punished. Depending on your subsequent performance, if you are not complaining or angry, and work steadily, you can still bring it up.
The assistant director immediately felt like he was mourning and almost burst into tears.
I finally got promoted to assistant director, and this is Li Qian's assistant director. Guo Fan is a role model, and he may become a director in a few years.
But now, it's all over!
However, he did not dare to say anything if he did something wrong.
"Director Li." Another assistant director from the crew came over.
"What's up?"
"The reporter who was sent away before is here again. He wants to see you."
"Which one?"
"The one with Xinlang."
"Forget it, let him come over."
The news came from Tengxun, so it probably has nothing to do with him. In the previous interview, he looked like a fan, and he was also a loyal fan of his.
Besides, these netizens are crazy about thinking, how can Li Qian not pour a bucket of cold water on them?
