Fan Qi was deeply fond of a powerful figure from a Hong Kong novel—a man whose turbulent early life had shaped him into someone irresistibly charismatic.
But admiration was one thing. Fan Q...
Today's filming was mainly in the evening and night. In the morning, we tried on makeup and discussed the script. In the afternoon, we filmed a scene where the male and female protagonists met in the workplace.
Fan Qi and Chen Zhiqian sat there putting on makeup and listening to the staff interpret the script.
This TV commercial has no dialogues, but more eye contact, and the requirements for the women are not high at all, it is all one-sided eye following by the men.
Chen Zhiqian was always asked to show love at first sight in his eyes and to express surprise when they met again...
"Are you showing off the clothes, or are you aiming for a movie effect with this short film?" Chen Zhiqian asked.
"We have discussed this advertising script with Boss Feng many times, and we have made changes according to Boss Feng's wishes."
Feng Xueming walked in and heard this and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I feel that this ad shows fewer clothes and focuses more on the story itself. Even if we want to shoot an ad with a bit of artistic conception, it feels like putting the cart before the horse." Chen Zhiqian said, "My personal opinion, if you don't agree, we can just shoot it according to the original script."
"you say."
"In the first scene, the two meet on the beach. You can give the male protagonist a hobby. He is a photography enthusiast. The girl walks into his lens. In the second scene, he develops the photo, looking thoughtful. In this scene, the male protagonist has two sets of clothes, and the female protagonist has one set of clothes. Then it leads to the second scene. From the glass window of the male protagonist's office, you can see the door of the office building opposite. He often sees the girl walking out of the office building in different clothes. This is cross-dressing. The female protagonist changes clothes one after another in a hurry. On the contrary, the plot of meeting in the office can be shortened. It is enough to just push the door open and enter, and the two look at each other from a distance. Don't waste time on ineffective plots."
"That's right! Look at the heroine through the hero, show the clothes, and fully integrate them into the plot." The staff of the advertising company nodded.
"That makes sense." Feng Xueming said.
"My suggestion is that you can't put the cart before the horse. The core is to show the clothes, and the story is just to support the clothes. Even if there is emotion here, it is very subtle and extremely restrained, just like your clothes, simple and tasteful. I think if the last scene is a kiss, the focus will be off." Chen Zhiqian called Fan Qi, who had already put on makeup, "Stand up, let's do some gestures."
Fan Qi stood up, and Chen Zhiqian told her to look forward: "Don't laugh, just stand there."
He stood beside her, crossing her path, and turned his head slightly. He didn't smile, but his eyes were full of affection. "I think this action is enough, just like calligraphy and painting, leaving blank space. It can give the audience a sense of taste, but it doesn't let the audience focus too much on the story, and the focus is on the costumes. What do you think?"
Fan Qi was angry. This guy must have thought about it long ago and didn't tell her. He made her worry for so many days? And he even said he wanted to practice kissing with him. How abominable.
It's over, it's over, it's over! He didn't think I was deliberately trying to kiss him, did he?
In fact, the people in the advertising company also had this idea. The kissing scene was not very appropriate, but Feng Xueming insisted on doing it at the time, saying that he wanted to show romance.
Now that Chen Zhiqian had said that, the person from the advertising company asked Feng Xueming, "What do you think, Mr. Feng? I think what Mr. Chen said makes a lot of sense."
Feng Xueming originally wanted this scene to make Chen Zhiqian uncomfortable, but now it was Chen Zhiqian who was filming. Why would he want to see them kissing?
Unexpectedly, Chen Zhiqian would seriously give him suggestions for his commercial. He nodded and said, "It will feel much better if we change it this way. I'll listen to you."
The matter was settled. They were going to shoot the second scene in a building under Tianhe in the afternoon. Fan Qi sat in Chen Zhiqian's car: "Why didn't you tell me? Have you figured it out? You would have told me everything else first? Why did you lie to me?"
Seeing her angry look, Chen Zhiqian teased her: "Some people are silly and very interesting."
"Huh?" Fan Qi felt his blood vessels throbbing. Seeing his hand on the gear, Fan Qi couldn't control himself and stretched out his hand to twist his arm, "Chen Zhiqian..."
Chen Zhiqian's face
