Huayu 1992, my entertainment era

Chapter 55 Advertising Shooting
Zhou Ziheng didn't expect that the heroine of his first advertisement was actually an acquaintance.

Li Xiaoran, an actress who has been lingering in the second and third tier in later generations.

Zhou Ziheng’s deepest impression of her should be the eldest princess in Joy of Life.

Then there is no more.

……

"Mr. Zhou, you will need to run from here to there in a moment. Please be careful and keep an energetic mood. Also, I need you to show your teeth.

After all, this is a toothpaste advertisement, and we need to let the audience see its effect.”

When they arrived at the filming location, the crew started to chase people away and pushed the onlookers aside, and then the director began to explain the scene to Zhou Ziheng and Li Xiaoran.

"Ms. Li, we need you to dance, that should be no problem, right?" Liu Yang looked at Li Xiaoran.

"No problem, this is my strong point." Li Xiaoran nodded.

She studied at the Beijing Dance Academy, and dance was her major.

"OK! Then let's get ready and start shooting." Liu Yang clapped his hands.

In fact, there is nothing to prepare for.

It's nothing more than pulling out a few extras from the crowd to cooperate with the performance.

As for the rest.

This is not an award-winning film directed by Zhang Yimou, it's just an advertisement, it's not that particular.

"Brother Ziheng, I heard that Guangdong celebrities often collaborate with Hong Kong and Taiwan celebrities. Have you met Wang Jiawen?"

While Liu Yang was arranging the camera, Li Xiaoran began to pester Zhou Ziheng to ask about some interesting stories between celebrities.

Although Zhou Ziheng believes that his life is no different from that of ordinary people.

But it is different in the eyes of ordinary people like Li Xiaoran.

Ordinary people in this era have fewer opportunities to come into contact with celebrities, unlike in later generations, when they can learn about them through the Internet and television.

And Li Xiaoran is actually someone close to the celebrity circle.

She herself is studying at a dance academy and often shoots commercials, so she has frequent contact with celebrities.

However, relatively speaking, she has less contact with stars from Hong Kong, Taiwan and Guangdong like Zhou Ziheng.

"I haven't worked with her, but I have worked with Chow Yun-fat," Zhou Ziheng replied.

"Chow Yun-fat! I've seen his A Better Tomorrow, it's a very good movie."

"If you want to meet Wang Jiawen, you can come with me to a party tomorrow. It's organized by Cui Jian, and Wang Jiawen should be there." Zhou Ziheng said, turning his eyes.

Cui Jian told Zhou Ziheng yesterday that he was organizing a small party tomorrow and invited some colleagues.

Among them was Dou Wei.

And if there is Dou Wei, there will obviously be Faye Wong, also known as Wang Jiawen, whose stage name at that time was still Wang Jiawen.

"Tomorrow? Sure, I'm free tomorrow." Hearing this, Li Xiaoran nodded immediately.

……

The advertisement shot by Zhou Ziheng is a toothpaste advertisement called Celebrity Toothpaste.

It is one of the most famous toothpaste brands in China.

In addition to shooting commercials for them, Zhou Ziheng was also invited to serve as their brand spokesperson.

One hundred thousand a year, signed for three years, a total of three hundred thousand.

For Zhou Ziheng, this is his first advertisement and also his first brand endorsement.

Therefore, he personally attached great importance to the shooting of this advertisement and tried his best to cooperate with the director in the shooting.

The filming will begin soon.

The first scene required Zhou Ziheng to run quickly on the street, climb over the railing, rush into the supermarket, buy a toothpaste, and then quickly rush to Li Xiaoran who was dancing and say the advertising slogan to the camera, "Celebrities are dedicated to lovers."

This scene is also the only difficult part of the entire advertisement.

Zhou Ziheng needs to climb over the railing.

Not only must the movements be fast, but they must also be handsome.

Fortunately, Zhou Ziheng was in good physical condition and passed the test in one try.

Acts 2 and 3 are easy.

After Zhou Ziheng handed the toothpaste to Li Xiaoran, she would happily hug Zhou Ziheng and then say her advertising slogan, "Lovers will become celebrities sooner or later."

At the end, the two of them said to the camera, "Celebrity, for lovers all over the world."

From the perspective of Zhou Ziheng in later life, this advertisement is really good. In particular, the slogan is very creative and has the feeling of classic slogans in later generations.

The filming took more than four hours in total, and the crew finished filming around three in the afternoon.

Everyone found a restaurant together and had a good meal treated by the advertising company.

By the time we finished our meal, it was already around seven o'clock.

Zhou Ziheng volunteered to take Li Xiaoran home.

He was born and raised in Beijing and his home is in Chaoyang District.

"Last year, Director Zhang Yimou approached me and wanted me to play a role in Raise the Red Lantern, but I was a little scared and worried that I wouldn't be able to play the role well, so I refused."

"Actually, I don't really like dancing, but my mom does. I guess I'm fulfilling her dream!"

"After graduation? I don't know what I'm going to do after graduation. Maybe I'll find a dance troupe to join!"

Zhou Ziheng was not sure what Li Xiaoran was like in later generations, as he had never met him.

But Li Xiaoran during this period was very talkative.

As they communicated, she directly told Zhou Ziheng all her information.

The two chatted as they walked, and soon they arrived at Li Xiaoran's house.

"You should have a good rest first, I will come to pick you up tomorrow."

Zhou Ziheng stopped.

"Yeah!"

……

"Let me tell you gently"

"The stars in the sky are waiting"

"Share your loneliness and your happiness"

……

In the car, the driver was listening to Yang Yuying's "Tell You Gently", the song was sweet and beautiful.

Listening to the song, Zhou Ziheng felt a little uneasy.

It’s not that the song is bad.

It was mainly the driver who sang along.

His singing voice is so shocking that it can even kill people.

Amid the driver's tormenting singing, the car finally returned to the hotel and Zhou Ziheng got off quickly.

"My friend, you look familiar to me. Have we met before?"

When paying, the driver couldn't help but asked a question.

As early as when Zhou Ziheng got on the car, he felt that this guy looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who he was for a moment.

"I'm a singer, maybe you've heard my songs!"

Zhou Ziheng replied with a relaxed look on his face, no longer having to suffer any more.

There is nothing to hide about being a singer.

Although celebrities are rare these days, the mainland has not yet started a star-chasing craze, so it doesn't matter even if people know about it.

Moreover, the hotel he stayed in was arranged by the Spring Festival Gala program team, and all the media in Beijing knew that he was staying there.

Just as he got off the car, two men with cameras came over.

"Mr. Zhou, I heard that you were also invited to participate in this year's Spring Festival Gala. Can you tell me what song you will be singing?"

"Mr. Zhou, have you seen Aaron Kwok in the hotel? Are you familiar with him? What is he like? Is he easy to get along with?"

Although journalists of this era were not as shameless as those in later generations.

But it's still annoying sometimes.

Especially when one star asks about another star.

Zhou Ziheng has been asked several times by reporters in Beijing about Aaron Kwok in the past two days.

But, what does he know! When Aaron Kwok and his group of Hong Kong and Taiwan stars arrived, they were arranged to stay in the most luxurious room. He had never even met them, so how could he know if they were easy to get along with?

However, reporters should not be offended.

He could only suppress his depression and said, "I have no contact with Mr. Guo, so I don't know exactly what kind of person he is, but I think he should be easy to get along with!"
