Chapter 99 Shooting Commercials



Cheng Hao has watched Andy's game.

Andy, whose full name is Andy Maltz, is a handsome white man who won the gold belt more than once in the mid-1980s. Because of this, he was once very popular and had countless fans.

However, he had a hobby of abusing people and did some other illegal and criminal things. Later, he spent the rest of his life in prison. The entire boxing world was ashamed to talk about him and thought he was a scum among boxers.

It was said that there was something fishy going on in the match between him and Claude.

Now I have to shoot a commercial with this guy...

Cheng Hao looked at the contract carefully.

The beverage company that invited them was not very famous. The sports drink they produced this time was their company's new product. Because they planned to place an advertisement on the sports channel, they planned to find a boxer to shoot the film.

But they couldn't afford the expensive boxers, so they decided to hire a more special boxer and found Cheng Hao.

The contract seems to be fine, but the problem is that the cooperation partner is OC Company.

Old George's brow furrowed further and further: "Damn it, this company is really haunting!"

He kept cursing, and after a while, he said, "Cheng, you have to perform well when the time comes! You have to perform better than that guy named Andy!"

"Okay." Cheng Hao agreed.

The company has already accepted the contract, so he must go to shoot the film. Besides, he can't be afraid to deal with Andy just because he knows that Andy will be very powerful in the future.

After resting for a night at the company, Cheng Hao and his team took a bus to the city where they needed to shoot the commercial the next day.

When Cheng Hao went there, he brought Old George, his new assistant Galen, and his original assistant Bob. Actually, there didn't need to be so many people, but Old George felt that there should be more people to support him.

After they arrived, the beverage company arranged a car to pick them up, and then Galen went to discuss matters such as travel expense reimbursement with the other party, while Old George checked the procedures with them.

Cheng Hao was doing nothing nearby, and it was at this time that he saw Andy.

Cheng Hao had watched Andy's boxing matches before. Perhaps because the video was old, he thought Andy was very good-looking and handsome. But now that he saw him in person, he found that he was not that good-looking anymore.

The main reason is that he has a lot of acne on his face and his skin is not good.

When the camera was filming, these were not very obvious, and when compared with other boxers, he looked very handsome, but when you look at him face to face, those pimples are really unattractive.

Cheng Hao actually had a lot of acne during adolescence in his previous life, but it was not as severe as the person in front of him.

"Violent boy?" Andy walked towards Cheng Hao and smiled. "I really enjoy watching your games. You're amazing. I'm so glad to be able to work with you today!"

"Me too." Cheng Hao said lightly. He could feel that the person in front of him said that he liked him, but there was actually a hint of contempt in his eyes.

"When we're filming the commercial later, you'd better be gentle with me. I'm just an amateur boxer." Andy added, "I think if you hit me too hard, I'll be knocked out!"

Someone once said that it is a crime for a professional boxer to fight against an amateur boxer, because professional boxers are much stronger than amateur boxers.

This may not be entirely true, because many professional boxers, even those who have become boxing champions, were amateur boxers at the beginning. Although top amateur boxers are not as good as top professional boxers, they can beat ordinary professional boxers.

But generally speaking, professional boxers are stronger than amateur boxers, so what Andy said is not wrong.

If Cheng Hao hadn't known that Andy would make a splash in professional competitions this year and win the boxing championship next year, he would probably have believed it.

"I will." Cheng Haoman nodded casually: "Don't worry, I will give in to you." Since this person said so hypocritically, he might as well respond hypocritically.

Andy smiled and said, "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Cheng Hao looked at his junior like a senior.

Andy finally couldn't say any more: "Then I'm going to go find my agent first!"

With that, he left.

When he was facing Cheng Hao, there was still a smile on his face, but when he turned around, there was only coldness left.

His assistant, who was walking towards him, couldn't help but shudder when he saw his expression.

Cheng Hao didn't know this. He waited for a while, and when Old George handed over everything, he followed Old George to the shooting location.

The beverage company hired a director who was good at shooting commercials to shoot the commercial and rented a gymnasium as the shooting location.

When Cheng Hao arrived at the gymnasium, he smelled a smell of paint. He noticed that the area around the ring, which was a bit old, was now painted with some red paint. This should make the shooting effect better.

Cheng Hao and Andy came together. When they arrived, the director in charge of shooting the commercial was already there. He had several cameras set up, all facing the direction of the ring, and had a background set up behind the ring, with a huge advertisement for the drink added to the background.

This wasn't Cheng Hao's first time filming, so he was well-adapted to the situation. He immediately walked towards the director and said, "Hello, my name is Cheng Hao."

"Hello!" The director looked at Cheng Hao with a satisfied expression: "You look good... Young man, go take off your clothes and get ready for the shoot!"

Cheng Hao: "..." You're clearly changing clothes, why are you talking about taking off clothes?

The director of the commercial was a white man, about sixty years old, with long hair and a beard.

His gray hair was tied into a braid at the back of his head, and his beard was combed neatly. He looked very literary. After Cheng Hao and Andy changed their clothes, he called them over.

"You all have great bodies! Especially you, Cheng, your muscles are very beautiful." The director looked at Cheng Hao and the others with admiration for a while, praised Cheng Hao a few times, and then began to explain how to shoot this commercial.

Wait, Cheng Hao and Andy will first be filmed drinking drinks, then looking full of energy, and then filmed fighting in the ring until both are injured.

The entire advertisement is about two boxers fighting in the ring until both are injured, and then they shake hands and drink drinks together. They suddenly feel refreshed and back to their best condition.

This idea is not new, but to be honest, the audience still likes it.

Cheng Hao and Andy are not professional actors. They repeatedly filmed the scene of drinking drinks and becoming energetic after drinking for several times. Only then was the director satisfied. Next, they started filming the competition scene.

The director said, "You guys are going to have a fight here later. Please use some beautiful moves. I will film all your fight scenes and then edit them."

"You have to fight beautifully, okay?"

"By the way, put some oil on your skin first, it'll look better in the photos! It'll be great when it sweats... Don't worry about the sweat. If you don't sweat, I'll have someone sprinkle you with water!"

"Come on, you can start now!"

The director said a lot before letting Cheng Hao and Andy officially start the competition.

Cheng Hao and Andy stood on the ring, bumped fists with each other, and waited for the assistant next to them to blow the whistle before starting to fight.

They only needed to play a friendly match and didn't need to give their all, so they played very easily at the beginning, and the strength Andy showed was a bit weak.

However, seeing him like this, Cheng Hao became even more alert.

Sure enough, during the fight, Andy suddenly punched Cheng Hao in the neck.

In formal competitions, hitting a weak spot like the neck is not allowed. Andy hit Cheng Hao in this area, which was a sneaky way of using force.

If Cheng Hao had continued to treat this game with the relaxed attitude of "shooting a commercial", even if nothing happened after being hit, he would have been in a miserable state.

Fortunately, Cheng Hao had been prepared for this. Not only that, fighting with Claude day after day had made him particularly good at dodging punches - if he didn't dodge and got hit by Claude's iron fist, it would be really uncomfortable.

Moreover, Cheng Hao not only dodged, but also punched Andy in the stomach with all his strength.

Andy was knocked back several steps. He had been pretending to be good, but finally he stopped. He looked at Cheng Hao with an extremely fierce expression. At the same time, his punches were not as soft as at the beginning, but he used all his strength.

At this point, Cheng Hao would not hold back. The fight between the two sides became more and more intense, and they were evenly matched.

"Good! Very good!" the director of the commercial said excitedly, constantly capturing the boxing scene: "This part is very good, great!"

“That’s it!”

"What a beautiful fight!"

"Give them a close-up of their expressions!"

"Oh! That drop of sweat on my nose is so cute!"

The director and the surrounding staff did not notice anything unusual, but Old George and Galen had already realized that something was wrong.

The two people on the stage were not acting at all, they were really fighting!

Moreover, their actions were not excessive at the beginning, but as time went on, the two men became more and more violent.

This is no longer a normal filming requirement, and they should be asked to stop.

But old George didn't want to stop from his heart.

He hated the people in OC Company, and he hoped that Cheng Hao could defeat his opponent in OC Company.

As for Andy's agent on the other side, he had no intention of stopping it.

As a result, the fighting between the two sides became more and more intense.

Finally, the director said, "We've got enough footage for editing. Come on, darlings, fall down together and we'll film a scene where both of you get hurt."

Cheng Hao and Andy were fighting enthusiastically at the time, and no one paid any attention to what the director said.

"That's enough material for boxing, dear..." the director said again, and then Andy punched Cheng Hao in the face, making his face swollen.

Cheng Hao followed suit and punched Andy in the stomach.

director:"……"

If the director was a little confused at first, by now he knew exactly what was happening: "What are you doing?! Oh my God! You even hurt his face! That's his face!"

"Well, you're boxers, you don't care about your looks..."

“Actually, this works pretty well.”

The director filmed for a while longer, and finally decided it was time to stop. He looked at Old George and the others and said, "Shouldn't you tell them to stop? We should film the ending!"

"They're boxing," Andy's agent said. "Boxers need to have a competitive spirit. Once they're in the ring, they have to face the competition well and strive to win."

"Yes." Old George followed up, "My boxer will knock his opponent down!"

"A yellow man?" Andy's agent sneered, "George, you're really getting worse and worse. Now you can only find a boxer like this to fight you."

"My boxers are the best. You'd better warn your boxers to be more careful!" Old George said, "You're actually trying to use dirty tricks... Be careful not to get your eggs broken!"

"Andy is the strongest, your boxer, go to the hospital and lie down!" said Andy's agent.

The argument between the two sides became more and more intense, and finally old George couldn't bear it anymore and punched the agent in the face.

"Shit!" the agent shouted and started beating old George.

The shooting scene became chaotic. The director: “…”

He really had little experience. So all boxers were like this? Fighting during commercials was one thing, but even their agents would get into fights.

Actually, there was nothing wrong with the fight, except that… the director shouted, “Quick! Someone stop them! Don’t let them touch my camera!”

“Don’t stop filming…keep filming the game!”

"Hey! Those two agents! You better stop! If you break my camera, you'll have to pay for it!"

Perhaps the words "compensate for money" are intimidating enough, and the "competition" between the two agents actually avoided the cameras. Of course, this may also be due to their poor fighting skills - they are no longer fighting, but wrestling, and there are assistants and others beside them to persuade them.

But as they kept persuading them, the assistants also got angry and started taking action.

The director stroked his pigtails and asked the people from the beverage company who had followed him, "Should we call the police in this situation?"

Someone from the beverage company said, "...security will be here soon and should be able to stop them."

"That's good!" said the director, and then he continued to film Cheng Hao and Andy faithfully.

Cheng Hao was under a lot of pressure at this time.

Andy is not very famous now, but he should be the trump card hidden by OC Company. In fact, he is very strong. If Cheng Hao is not careful, he will not be able to withstand it.

Because the opponent's punches were too frequent and he was always using dirty tricks, he didn't even have the chance to enter a special state.

However, he is not weak either.

He has never slacked off in training. During the Chinese New Year, Claude rested for many days, but he did not rest for a single day. Even on Christmas Day, he did two hours of training.

He is in very good shape now.

But Andy is worthy of being a boxing champion. His punches are very powerful. Many parts of Cheng Hao's body have turned purple and his face is also very painful. Many times, Cheng Hao has to find ways to avoid the opponent's punches.

Fortunately, although he is not as strong as Andy and lacks explosive power, he has good endurance.

As the fight went on, Andy's face was covered in sweat and he couldn't hold on any longer.

Yes, normally during a game, they would stop for two or three minutes and rest for one minute, but now, they have been playing for more than twenty minutes.

Andy's speed inevitably slowed down, but Cheng Hao played steadily and gradually gained the upper hand.

Cheng Hao threw a punch and hit Andy's nose.

With another punch, Cheng Hao hit Andy in the stomach.

Andy was able to hold on at first, but now he couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed.

"Great!" the director couldn't help but say, "It doesn't have to be a loss for both. It's also good if one defeats the other..."

He never watched boxing matches before, but now... he suddenly became interested in boxing matches!

Such an intense collision made his inspiration keep coming out!

Especially that Oriental girl, she made him feel unique! She was simply his muse!

Even though he was bruised and battered, his victory pose was still very handsome!

By the way, he is not watching the game now, he is shooting a commercial.

But now this scene...

The director didn't know what to do.

He wanted to tell the two men how to shoot next, but he was a little afraid of them and worried that they would beat him.

The director squinted his eyes and raised his long beard, looking a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, Cheng Hao saved him.

After winning, Cheng Hao raised his hands in a victory gesture, then picked up the drink next to him, opened it, and pulled Andy up from the ground and gave him a can.

Andy was dizzy from the beating and didn't even take Cheng Hao's drink. Cheng Hao poured him a little, then picked up another can of drink and drank it himself. As he drank, the drink flowed out from his mouth and down his body, mixing with sweat and falling to the ground.

After drinking, Cheng Hao raised the hand holding the drink and smiled.

He has done a lot, the director...should be able to edit a commercial?
