Fu Chi wanted some of Chunxilou's daily video materials for reference, and some of these materials might be edited into the main film of the advertisement. Lu Yao asked Ba and Dieqi to set up cameras at the entrance, lobby and top of Chunxilou early in the morning to shoot from multiple angles.
In order to obtain enough materials, she also placed machines in the kitchen of Chunxilou.
The old chef and the assistant chef heard that it was a movie theater that was filming, and a group of people gathered in front of the machine to watch.
The lights were dim, the candles flickered, and the scene in the kitchen could still be seen through the small screen. After that, the chefs felt a little uncomfortable doing things.
It's not that they hate it, but they just can't be as relaxed as usual, especially when they heard that the images taken by the machine might be played on the big screen in front of the cinema, like the Mid-Autumn Festival Yuguizhai, the old chefs couldn't help but muster up their spirits and want to perform better.
The chefs hurriedly fetched water, scrubbed the stove and utensils, and washed the ingredients more diligently than usual.
Lu Yao shook his head, and felt that these chefs were too simple and cute, so he smiled and comforted: "Chefs, don't be too nervous, just be like usual."
As soon as he finished speaking, the chefs' movements seemed to be more stiff than before.
This feeling is probably the same as an open class in school. Both teachers and students are on edge. Even if they keep reminding themselves to be more natural, it is difficult to be as relaxed as in normal classes.
But from another perspective, this is actually a kind of naturalness. After all,
for the staff of Chunxilou, it is the first time to come into close contact with the products of modern civilization.
Lu Yao did not persuade them anymore, adjusted the angles of several camera positions, turned around and walked out of the kitchen, and went to the lobby to see the scenery.
This advertisement was planned by Lu Yao and Fu Chi. It’s
just that Fu Chi cannot come here, so all the shooting processes are controlled by Lu Yao, and then they have to give them to Fu Chi for inspection and adjustment, or to reshoot the shots.
In order to shoot this advertisement, Lu Yao and the digital trio also received emergency training from Director Fu.
There are too many things to pay attention to, such as setting up the scene, lighting, camera movement, directing the actors... The time is very tight, and the training only touches on the basics.
Lu Yao is too mobile. Several people who have just learned to use a camera have to shoot an advertisement, and several digital people are more aggressive than the store owner. Fu Chi is worried and anxious, but he can't persuade them.
Just as a little light appeared on the horizon and the night had not completely dissipated, two carriages drove one after the other on the bluestone road.
The carriage in front was hung with a green curtain, and a sign was hung on the carriage, with the three characters "Bai Xiang Yuan" engraved on it, and a green tassel hung from the bottom, swinging back and forth as the carriage moved forward.
The carriage behind was more luxurious than the carriage of Bai Xiang Yuan, with brocade curtains, pink scented balls hung on the carriage, and a short piece of cloth hung from the bottom, with the three characters "Jing Hong Pavilion" embroidered with gold thread, and the fragrance wafted along the way.
The two carriages drove into Song'an Street, and stopped in front of Chunxi Tower one after the other. Passersby looked sideways, wondering why the actors from Bai Xiang Yuan and the girls from Jing Hong Pavilion came to drink tea so early?
In the carriage with green curtains, there were two men and a servant.
The man in green clothes was tall and slender, with a delicate face and a gentle look between his eyebrows.
His name was Xuanli, an actor in Baixiang Garden.
The man in white clothes next to him had red lips and white teeth, a handsome appearance, a pair of big and bright eyes, but the tails of his eyes were elongated and upturned, revealing a hint of charm for no reason.
This was Wangsheng, also an actor in Baixiang Garden.
The day before yesterday, the movie theater owner Lu Yao went to Baixiang Garden and selected Xuanli and Wangsheng from the actors in the garden and invited them to participate in the advertisement of Chunxi Tower.
The two did not know what an advertisement was, but they did not think much about it after hearing Lu Yao's explanation that it was similar to acting.
After the carriage stopped, the two were not in a hurry to get off.
Xuanli reached out and lifted a corner of the curtain, and looked at Chunxi Tower quietly.
Wangsheng also came over and saw some people gathered at the entrance of Chunxi Tower. He could hear some discussions and became suspicious. "Today's stage is too small. We are not allowed to put on makeup. Are they kidding us?"
Xuanli glanced at him and said, "The owner of the garden said that we should follow the orders of Lu the shopkeeper today." Wangsheng
lowered his head and suppressed his emotions. "I didn't say much. There is no need to use the owner to pressure others."
Behind Baixiang Garden was the carriage of Jinghong Pavilion. Sitting in the carriage was the courtesan Chen Lianlian.
Chen Lianlian was only fifteen years old and had a beautiful face. Even if she didn't put on makeup in the morning, her face still made people feel pity.
The maid Xiaotao lifted the curtain and looked, "We have arrived at Chunxi Pavilion, but in front is the carriage of Baixiang Garden."
Chen Lianlian held a round fan in her hand, looking lazy, "Lu the shopkeeper won't let me put on my makeup, I can't show myself in this state. Let them get off first."
Die Qi saw the carriage stopped at the door, reported to Lu Yao, and asked Ku Ba to come out to pick them up.
Xuan Li and Wang Sheng got off the carriage one after another, Xuan Li walked in front with a zither in his hand.
Wang Sheng followed behind slowly, his steps were leisurely, and passers-by blushed when they saw him.
Lu Yao was on the second floor. Seeing the two people coming up, he stepped forward and said hello: "You two, please sit in the cloud for a while. I will do your makeup for you later."
Xuanli and Wangsheng had seen Lu Yao in Baixiang Garden. After hearing what she said, they realized that it was not that they would not put on makeup, but that they would put on makeup in Chunxi Tower.
After entering the cloud, Xuanli carefully placed the zither on the table and looked around.
It was just an ordinary teahouse private room. There was no powder or eyebrow pencil for makeup, not even a mirror. I don't know how to put on makeup for them later.
Wangsheng walked to the window and saw the movie theater next door. His eyes widened slightly: "That's the movie theater. It looks like this."
Baixiang Garden is the best theater in Liangjing City. It is located in the tea archway in the West Market and is several streets away from the movie theater.
But recently, guests who come to the garden to watch plays often mention the cinema in the East Market, and the actors in the garden have also shown an interest in the cinema.
However, since the cinema was built, the business of Baixiang Garden has deteriorated a lot, and it is getting worse day by day.
Only the owner of the garden has been to the cinema. The actors practice and perform in the garden every day and have never been to the East Market.
Yesterday, the shopkeeper of the cinema found the owner of the garden and proposed a cooperation, and the owner agreed without saying a word.
Xuan Li also came over and saw someone moving on the glass screen of the cinema, but the distance was a bit far and it was not clear.
He vaguely remembered that when Lu Yao talked to them in detail yesterday, he mentioned that he wanted to put some short film on the advertising screen of the cinema. Could it be that place?
Wangsheng held onto the window sill with both hands, almost leaning out half of his body, "People are lining up outside, are the movies in the cinema so good? I want to see it, too."
...
In the next room, Dieqi led Chen Linlin and Xiaotao in. Lu Yao
was sitting on a chair waiting for them, and immediately stood up when he saw them coming.
Chen Linlin lowered her head and covered her face with a round fan. Only after the door was closed did she slowly put down the fan and bowed to Lu Yao: "Linlin meets the shopkeeper."
Lu Yao thought that she was indeed an otaku, with a beautiful figure, a beautiful face, and a graceful and elegant demeanor. She was a classical beauty.
She stepped forward and gently helped Chen Lianlian up, "Please call me Director Lu today."
Not only is she a director, she is also the screenwriter, makeup artist, lighting director, and photography director today.
In short, Director Lu has a heavy workload.
Chen Lianlian didn't understand why, but she obeyed and called her "Director Lu" softly. Lu
Yao looked her up and down, "Go to the inner room to change clothes first, and I'll put on makeup for you when you come out."
This advertisement is mainly to promote Chunxilou, and the picture must be exquisite and textured, and also fit the scene.
Although the courtesan has come in the plainest clothes, there are still a lot of colors, but fortunately Lu Yao has prepared clothes and jewelry.
Chen Lianlian went to the inner room and saw that the shopkeeper had prepared a pink and white dress. The style was simple and fresh, but the fabric was excellent. The satin felt smooth, and there were dark patterns on it if you looked closely.
Xiaotao was a little dissatisfied after seeing it: "I think the courtesan's dress is better looking than this. This one is too plain and doesn't match the lady's beauty at all."
Chen Lianlian touched the dress, but her face showed some joy: "I think this dress is good, plain and low-key."
Xiaotao helped Chen Lianlian change her clothes, and when she came out, she saw many small items she had never seen before on the table, and Lu Yao was sitting on a stool fiddling with a wig.
Chen Lianlian walked over quickly, "Little... Guide, what are these?" Lu Yao
stood up and pointed to the stool in front of him, "Come and sit down, I'll comb your hair first, and then put on makeup."
After sitting down, Chen Lianlian realized that the oval object in front of her was a mirror. Unlike the copper mirrors they usually used, it was bright and clear, and the person in the mirror was clearly visible.
Chen Lianlian's hair was thick, good quality, black and smooth.
Lu Yao helped her comb her hair and joked: "It would be a pity not to shoot a shampoo commercial with this hair."
Chen Lianlian wondered: "What is shampoo?"
Lu Yao: "It is something used to wash hair, similar to soap locust and plant ash water, with cleaning ability. No The shampoo is easier to use than soap and water. After washing, my hair is fragrant and soft."
Xiao Tao couldn't help but said, "We girls don't use soap and water. We only buy the good hair cream from Rouge Tower, so our hair is so good."
Chen Lian took a look at Xiao Tao.
Xiaotao shrank her head and didn't dare to speak anymore.
Lu Yao didn't pay attention and was focused on combing Chen Lianlian's hair.
She had good hair and lots of hair, so she didn't use the wig she had prepared earlier. She just used a few horns to support her hair and inserted two pearl hairpins, and that was it.
Lu Yao: "The hair is done."
Chen Lianlian raised her hand to support the hair bag, a little uncertain: "Is it too simple?"
Lu Yao pulled her sideways, picked up the moisturizing spray beside her, and shook his head gently, "You are beautiful, this is enough. Close your eyes, I'm going to start putting on makeup for you."
The cool mist sprayed on her face, and Chen Lianlian shuddered.
"Okay, open your eyes."
Chen Lianlian opened her eyes and saw Lu Yao took a bottle from the table and pressed the black cylinder on the top of the bottle. Something that looked like water but was not water flowed out of the small hole in the middle.
Lu Yao saw that she was curious and held it out to show her, "This is a pre-makeup lotion, a kind of powder, used before applying powder to make the skin moist and soft."
Chen Lianlian had never heard of this term, but this thing called lotion smelled of a light, pleasant fragrance, completely different from the strong perfume she had touched before.
After applying the pre-makeup lotion, she applied primer, sunscreen, foundation, eyeshadow, contouring, highlighter, eyebrow powder, blush, lipstick... Many of these products were cosmetics that Chen Lianlian had never seen before. Some of them had similar names to the powders she usually used, but the texture and makeup feeling were indescribably good.
For example, the foundation should be similar to the pearl powder she usually used for facial mask, but it was light and natural on the face, and she didn't feel any tightness or dryness at all. Lu Yao
put on makeup very quickly. In less than half an hour, he had finished all his makeup. He stood up and pushed the mirror over, "Take a look."
Chen Lianlian looked in the mirror, raised her hand to touch her face, and stopped when she was about to touch it, "Is this... really me?"
The woman in the mirror had smooth and white skin, and there was no trace of powder on her face. She had pink lips and black eyebrows, and her eyes were bright and lively. She looked like a little girl who lived in the countryside but was raised by her parents.
Xiao Tao came over, her eyes full of disbelief: "Madam, you look like a little girl when you dress like this, but... you look very beautiful." Lu
Yao packed up his things and replied: "You are naturally beautiful, so you don't need heavy makeup. You do it first, I'll go next door to do makeup for Xuanli and Wangsheng."
The door opened and closed, and Chen Lianlian sat for a while, and couldn't help but get up.
The mirror and the useful cosmetics were taken away by the shopkeeper. There was no copper mirror in the room. She poured a glass of cool water, slowly moved closer, and looked at the reflection in the water. She was not tired of looking at it.
Xiao Tao saw it clearly from the side, and she was a little jealous.
The cosmetics smelled good and were easy to use. Moreover, the shopkeeper was very good at makeup. Such plain makeup and clothes could make the lady look more beautiful and extraordinary.
In the next room, Lu Yao put on makeup for Xuan Li first.
Wang Sheng sat aside, his eyes fixed on the cosmetics scattered on the table, and he couldn't help but reach out to touch the opened eyeshadow palette. He put his fingers in, it was soft and sticky, and a little bit of it was rubbed on the back of his hand, and it was a beautiful color.
"Where did you buy this powder, little shopkeeper?" Wangsheng couldn't hide his surprise and tried several colors in succession. "The color is beautiful and can be spread easily with a light rub."
"You can't buy it here." Lu Yao's hands did not stop. He applied makeup quickly but his hands were very steady.
The man's makeup was simple, and the important thing was the base makeup, eyebrows, eyes and lips.
Lu Yao personally selected the two people with the best figures and faces in Baixiang Garden, and their skin was not bad.
After applying makeup on Xuanli, Lu Yao asked him to look in the mirror himself, and turned around to continue applying makeup on Wangsheng.
Xuan Li looked at himself in the mirror. He was originally an actor, a toy for people to amuse themselves, but today's makeup was a little distorted.
A person like him actually looked a bit elegant and refined.
"Okay." After finishing the last stroke of lip makeup, Lu Yao stood up straight, took a step back to take a look, and nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad, that's it."
Wang Sheng came to Xuan Li's side and pulled the mirror over, "Let me see."
Xuan Li turned his head and saw Wang Sheng's face, and was stunned again.
Wang Sheng was also stunned when he saw himself in the mirror.
He had good facial features, and originally had a regular and delicate appearance, but the tail of his eyes was naturally upturned, adding a bit of charm.
After the shopkeeper put on makeup for him, his face was as handsome as a jade, his eyebrows were clear and upright, and he looked handsome without the coquettishness. Lu Yao
put away his things and looked at his watch. This busy schedule took a lot of time. He turned and walked out the door, "Let's go. The shooting location is in the flower room with the best lighting."
Chen Lianlian, Xuanli, and Wangsheng came out of their rooms and met in the corridor. When they saw each other, they were all surprised.
They were all from the lowest class, but they didn't wear heavy makeup this time, but they were all beautiful.
The scenery of the flower room has been completed. Ku Ba is responsible for lighting, and Die Qi holds a makeup bag, ready to touch up the actors at any time.
Ye Xiao was working on the machine, while Lu Yao was also the cameraman and director, and was also responsible for mobilizing the actors.
Le Han was there too, and when he saw Lu Yao coming in, he was about to speak, but then he saw Xuan Li, Wang Sheng, and Chen Lin Lin behind her, and stopped, "Who are these people?"
Lu Yao glanced at him and introduced them again: "Xuan Li and Wang Sheng from Bai Xiang Garden, and Chen Lin Lin from Jing Hong Pavilion."
Le Han knew all of these people, and when there was no cinema, he often visited Bai Xiang Garden, and occasionally went to the cruise ship at Jing Hong Pavilion for a few drinks.
But when he saw these people today, his eyes lit up.
It seemed that no matter what, once it was handled by the cinema, it would become a brand new look that had never been seen before.
This advertisement mainly promotes Chunxilou, and chooses two entry points: confidant and beauty. It has an elegant style and creates some imagination about encounter.
Act 1: Wangsheng plays a rich young man from Jiangnan, who is proficient in music. He comes to Beijing by chance and hears the sound of the zither coming from the teahouse. He can't help but be attracted. He goes upstairs and meets his confidant in this life.
Xuanli plays the zither player, with plain hair and a beautiful appearance. The sound of the zither flows from his fingertips, clear and quiet.
The wind blows the curtains, and the confidant comes to the music.
A zither, a pot of tea, a confidant, no regrets in this life.
Act 2: Chen Lianlian plays a scholarly daughter who secretly comes to Beijing to look for relatives. She stops and enters the teahouse. It happens that everyone in the teahouse is discussing a game of chess.
Others could not figure it out. Chen Lianlian thought for a moment and then solved the chess game, which attracted the attention of the rich young man who was drinking tea on the second floor. He took the initiative to invite her to play a game.
The filming in the beginning went smoothly unexpectedly. In the second half, the scholarly lady and the rich young man developed feelings for each other during the game. Chen Lianlian and Wangsheng acted very stiffly. Lu
Yao looked back and forth several times and was not very satisfied. He stood up to help the two adjust their state.
She first sat down next to Chen Lianlian and told her the play, "Lianlian, the eyes in this place are surprised and a little happy, and there is a little shyness in the joy, and there is unconscious expectation in the shyness. The eyes are pure and true, don't show your timidity."
Chen Lianlian held her head and said in pain, "Director Lu, I don't understand."
What is surprise, joy, shyness, and expectation? Can there really be so many emotions in a pair of eyes at the same time?
Lu Yao pulled her up and sat on the cushion himself, "You go to the machine and watch. I will rehearse with Wangsheng. Pay attention to the changes in emotions."
Wangsheng and Lu Yao rehearsed the play. The two played chess first, and then their eyes met, and strange feelings secretly grew.
Chen Linlin saw the change in Lu Yao's expression through the machine and was surprised. She could really read the meaning in her eyes.
In front of the camera, Wangsheng's ears were red and his hands were shaking while playing chess.
Lu Yao raised his hand to stop and looked at Wangsheng, "You are showing your weakness."
Wangsheng was more painful than Chen Linlin. His brows were furrowed and his cheeks began to turn red: "Shopkeeper, your eyes... are too explicit."
Lu Yao was speechless. It was obviously a simple eye contact. What's wrong with these people?
Lu Yao asked Xuanli to try, but Xuanli couldn't catch it either.
As soon as the cold young man arrived in front of the young shopkeeper, he became stiff and closed, unable to move.
This segment was shot repeatedly several times, but there was no improvement.
With no other options, Lu Yao asked Ku Ba to come and try.
Ku Ba shook his head and stepped back, "Shopkeeper, I can't do it either."
Lu Yao: "..."
Unexpectedly, he would get stuck on this little plot. Lu Yao was in a dilemma. He turned around and saw Ye Xiao standing behind the machine. His expression changed, "Ye Xiao, come over and try?"
Ku Ba thought that the little shopkeeper was crazy and didn't even let the blind man go.
Xiao Jiu couldn't see since she was a child, but her five senses were sharper than ordinary people.
But if the line of sight doesn't match, how can he act with her?
Ye Xiao didn't refuse. He walked straight to the table and sat down accurately. The large black sunglasses on his face were particularly abrupt. Lu Yao
asked directly: "Can I take off my glasses?"
Ye Xiao slowly raised his hand.
Die Qi and Ku Ba blinked and took two steps forward silently.
For so many years, no one has seen Xiao Jiu's eyes under the black cloth.
Later, he took off the black cloth and put on the sunglasses given by the shop owner, and he has never shown his face until now.
What does Xiao Jiu look like under the sunglasses?
Die Qi and Ku Ba moved closer and closer.
Under the sunglasses, the young man's eyes were tightly closed.
Ku Ba & Die Qi: "..."
Did he pick a loneliness?
The next second, Ye Xiao slowly opened his eyes, his pupils were light gray.
Ku Ba lay in front of the table, lowered his head and stared at Xiao Jiu, muttering in a low voice: "There is no light, so I really can't see." Lu Yao
exhaled quietly. The man looked different from the one she saw in the depths of the deep sea. Even the color of his pupils had changed. But when he blinks, a faint red halo will appear on the outermost circle of his pupil, which is almost invisible and difficult to notice without careful observation.
Lu Yao felt that there was nothing wrong. This person must be A, but he was just disguised.
She raised her hand and waved it in front of Ye Xiao's eyes.
No reaction, what a drama queen.
The next moment, his wrist was suddenly caught, and Ye Xiao looked over with gray eyes, "Shopkeeper?" Lu Yao
withdrew his hand and slowly sat back on the cushion, "Listen to the voice and adjust your eyes. It feels like what I just said. Let's try it."
Starting from playing chess, the two people played against each other by twisting the chess pieces in their hands.
Then, Lu Yao tapped the chess piece in his hand, and Ye Xiao adjusted his gaze.
Mingming's eyes are dim and he can't see.
And judging from the camera, his eyes did meet the shop owner.
The young man had clear eyes, straight shoulders and back, calm and self-possessed, and his indifferent eyes concealed a hint of repressed emotions.
Chen Lianlian couldn't help but cover her face, feeling a little hot.
Lu Yao waved his hand and called for a stop, "Wangsheng, just press This feeling comes. If you don’t understand, ask Teacher Ye Xiao more. "
Teacher Ye Xiao: "..."
After adjustments, Wangsheng and Chen Linlin’s acting is still a bit stiff. Lu Yao decided to shoot the third scene first and make up for it tomorrow. The three acts are connected.
When Miss Shuxiang and the rich man were drinking tea together, they met the zither player. Miss Shuxiang realized from the way the zither player brewed tea that he might be the brother she was looking for. In the end, the brother and sister recognized each other.
After a whole day of filming, Lu Yao took the footage back to Fu Chi for screening. Any parts that did not meet his expectations had to be re-filmed. The second scene that was not filmed smoothly had to be re-filmed the next day
. When it came to the scene where Lu Yao and Ye Xiao were acting together, he narrowed his eyes slightly and thought that if it really didn't work, he could just use this scene.
However, Lu Yao objected and even the acting material was confiscated.
After a whole night After repeated practice and thinking about the roles and situations, Chen Lianlian and Wang Sheng finally accepted the role settings completely. The second day's shooting went much more smoothly. After a few adjustments, they achieved the effect that satisfied Lu Yao
. I spent half a day to add more shots.
I was busy until the evening and finally finished shooting all the content.
The next step is editing and post-production. The material shot in the cinema cannot be brought to this world and can only be edited backstage, which takes about three to five days.
Fu Chi suggested that if commercials are to be shot later, it would be best if the cinema had a professional team. Post-production team.
Lu Yao actually considered it. Snack bars and furry shops can both find people who are good at editing, but communication is inconvenient. If
you want to find professional post-production, you probably have to look for them in this world.
Lu Yao sent a message to Ji Zhixin, Ask the post-production team he helped edit before if it was possible to work in the shopping mall and need to sign a confidentiality agreement.
Ji Zhixin might be busy and did not reply for the time being. Lu
Yao waited for a while, turned off the screen of his mobile phone and put it in his pocket. .
The filming of the commercial is over, and the cinema is closed. Fu Chi has to stay in the cinema to work overtime on post-production, and Lu Yao is going to help at the furry shop.
[Lu Yao's Super Time and Space Cinema is extremely popular, and it has been upgraded to a three-star cinema. Popularity value +3000, screening room + 3, entertainment equipment +1, please keep working hard! 】
The news of the star upgrade came unexpectedly. Before Lu Yao even stepped out of the cinema, she was shocked. Finally, there was a new theater.
She opened her portable warehouse and saw the so-called new entertainment equipment. A claw machine.
It turns out that this kind of equipment can also give rewards, which seems to be quite good. It can be tied to the surroundings to add fun to the cinema.
Lu Yao typed into the system: "I want to upgrade the three theaters upstairs this time."
The system said weakly: [Is it too early to upgrade upstairs now?]
Lu Yao: "Continue to expand the internal space. It will definitely cause suspicion, and it is more appropriate to expand the second floor. And I think the planning of the downstairs is already sufficient. "
There are two screening areas on the first floor, a canteen, a rest area, and two advertising screens.
There are too many elements . , there is no place to put the newly added claw machine.
The system hesitated for a while, [You can upgrade, the upgrade fee is 500,000 popularity points. Lu Yao
did not bargain with him for the rare opportunity and readily agreed, adding: "The new screening room will be divided into three central halls that can accommodate 40 people and a small hall that can accommodate 30 people. It will be upgraded tonight and will not be open for the time being. Open, place an expansion no-entry notice board. Wait until the task is officially completed, then open the upstairs area. "
The system knows that it is not so easy, but there is nothing it can do. The popularity value has been collected, and I don’t want to make her unhappy recently. This expansion Compared with the previous plan, it was not too much.
Lu Yao was busy in the furry shop for a while, and then went back to the nail salon to catch up on sleep.
At 5:30 in the afternoon, Fu Chi came to call her.
Lu Yao and Shen Sisi had an appointment in the evening. It's 7 o'clock, and it takes a while to drive from the shopping street.
I'm afraid of traffic jams, so I set out a little earlier.
