Teacher Xu’s husband, Director Zheng, is the director of the advertising department of the provincial TV station. He watched the camera.
That day, he approached Qu Songsheng and asked, "I have an advertisement that needs a child to appear in it. Can you let your daughter Manman come to shoot the commercial?"
In case Qu Songsheng didn't understand, he explained: "It's the kind of commercials you see on TV promoting products, the kind that are broadcast on various TV stations in turn after they're filmed."
Qu Songsheng knows about advertising, but should he let his daughter appear on TV?
He hesitated a bit and replied, "I need to ask for Manman's opinion on this."
Director Zheng was very surprised: "Manman is so young, shouldn't you parents make the decision on this matter?"
Qu Songsheng: "No, our family is very democratic. No matter how small the matter is, we have to ask for Manman's opinion."
After saying that, Qu Songsheng went to ask: "Manman, a director wants to find you to shoot a commercial. The kind that will be shown on TV in the future. Are you willing?"
"Shooting a commercial?"
Qu Manman is so willing.
Shooting commercials in this day and age is a rare opportunity.
It also means giving yourself another path!
Who knows, maybe in the future she’ll get tired of other jobs and try her hand in the entertainment industry.
After all, in this age where advertisements are rare, an advertisement that people can remember can be mentioned for many years to come.
If the response is good, it will be the key to entering the entertainment industry.
In addition, she has been chosen by the director to star in commercials.
Is it possible to ask the director for some favor and shoot a commercial for our company?
An interview in a city daily newspaper can lead to the opening of a Mai Kenmai franchise store in the provincial capital.
What if the provincial TV station specially produces TV commercials and broadcasts them on TV in turn?
That influence...
Qu Manman herself couldn't imagine how big it was!
"I do!" Qu Manman agreed immediately and asked, "What type of advertisement is it?"
Director Zheng smiled and replied, "It's a kind of health-preserving wine produced locally, and we need the elderly and children to appear in the film."
Qu Manman: "I'm fine, but my parents have to go back to their hometown to look after the store. They don't have much time to stay in the provincial capital, so if you want to take pictures of me, you'd better hurry up."
"Of course, of course..."
Director Zheng looked at Qu Manman's clever little appearance and liked her more and more.
She went back to the TV station to make arrangements that day, and Qu Manman went directly for the audition in the afternoon.
The audition scene was very simple: an old man sitting on a chair in the yard and massaging his legs.
The child ran over with the wine in his arms and handed it to the old man, saying, "Grandpa, Dad said that if you drink this ginseng and antler wine, your legs will be better!"
The young actors Director Zheng had previously invited all looked bright and lively, but they became at a loss as soon as the filming started.
Either they walk too stiffly or they speak in an unnatural and stammering manner.
Some children even handed the wine to the old actor's arms, but the old man let go before he could catch it.
Smashed a good bottle of wine into pieces...
The station only gave me 300 yuan for each commercial.
It took a long time to find a suitable child actor, and the filming was not done well, which was a waste of energy and manpower.
Director Zheng was also anxious.
Compared with the previous children, Qu Manman is the youngest.
She was wearing a newly dressed up white dress with ruffled collar and red dress, and stood in front of the camera.
The staff's first reaction was: "What a pretty and lovely girl."
Then I thought, "Isn't this kid too young? Can she really do it?"
Director Zheng thinks Qu Manman can do it.
I was still a little nervous: "How about letting Manman get familiar with the old man first?"
"No, we're in a hurry. We have to go home after the shoot."
Qu Manman smiled and went over to pick up the wine used for the commercial, holding it in her arms and said to the old actor: "Grandpa, when I run towards you later, you have to smile happily."
"Let everyone think that I am your granddaughter."
"Oh my god—" the veteran actor was surprised and immediately praised: "This kid is so outgoing! That's good, he's not stage-frightened, he's sure to do well in the film."
"Of course!"
Qu Manman made a face at the old man.
Patiently stand in the designated position, wait for the equipment to be in place, and Director Zheng calls for the start...
The old man pounded his legs a few times with an uneasy look on his face.
She appeared in time with the bottle of wine in her arms, and ran towards the old man with ease, light steps and a little urgency.
Before the person arrived, a clear, sweet and slightly childish voice was heard.
"Grandpa, Dad said..."
She ran to the old man's legs, leaned her small body forward, stood on tiptoe, and struggled to lift the bottle of wine in her hand and put it into the old man's arms.
He raised his head, looked at the other person with a pair of sparkling eyes, and said sincerely and innocently: "Drink this ginseng wine, and your legs will be fine!"
"Oh, my dear granddaughter...
Infected by Qu Manman's emotions, the old actor couldn't help but say an extra line.
"Okay—click—"
"Hahaha……"
The audition result was definitely passed without a doubt.
And in the camera, Qu Manman has a beautiful and tender face, and a small figure as nimble as a butterfly.
Even the voice of the speaker sounded particularly beautiful and pleasant.
The little child looked like an elf that had fallen into the mortal world, so attractive that people couldn't open their eyes.
The bottle of ginseng and antler wine in her arms seemed a little big compared to her small body, and it was also particularly eye-catching.
This image immediately left a deep impression on people...
The filming of the advertisement went extremely smoothly. After reshooting some shots the next day, we finished filming.
When Qu Manman and her family took the train home, Director Zheng personally gave her a small red envelope.
Tell her: "Little Manman, this is your reward."
