Ask him to shoot a commercial?
Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?
Su Ling put down his teacup, put away the surprise on his face, and said with a smile: "Thank you Director Dou for your appreciation, but everyone has their own expertise. I don't know anything about shooting commercials, so I'm afraid I can't do it."
Everyone knows that Lin Yun is involved in a drug scandal. The filming of today's commercial did not start as scheduled. Su Ling was not surprised. Director Dou and Ruan Wenya came to him early in the morning, probably because of this matter.
However, what surprised Su Ling was that Director Dou actually set his sights on him?
Director Dou thought Su Ling would refuse, but he didn't expect him to refuse so quickly. He sighed and said, "Mr. Su must have seen the trending search on Weibo yesterday? After Lin Yun's incident, our advertising can only be suspended."
Ruan Wenya continued, "The owner of the B&B called the police last night, and Lin Yun was taken away by the police. He hasn't returned yet."
Su Ling was startled: "Lin Yun was taken away by the police?"
He thought that the trending search was enough to ruin Lin Yun's reputation, but who knew there would be a sequel?
Ruan Wenya said solemnly: "At one o'clock this morning, the police issued a notice."
"What announcement?" Su Ling asked in confusion. He went to bed at ten o'clock last night, and didn't check his phone when he got up in the morning. He didn't know that Lin Yun was once again on the hot search today.
"Lin Yun's urine test was positive." Ruan Wenya frowned, "That means he took drugs once in the last two or three days."
Director Dou shook his head: "How can such a young man be so depressed?"
Originally, the news of taking ecstasy pills when he was in his teens could be explained as being young and ignorant at the time, and the team tried to cleanse themselves a few more times, perhaps they could turn things around. However, last night's urine test came back positive, and the police issued a notice, and Lin Yun was completely sentenced to death, with no possibility of a comeback.
Su Ling was really surprised this time.
Sure enough, if you don't seek death, you won't die.
It can only be said that Lin Yun had brought the current consequences upon himself.
After taking two sips of tea, Su Ling asked, "So... you want me to shoot a tea mountain commercial?"
He could understand that Director Dou and Ruan Wenya were anxious because their co-actor was gone, but Su Ling felt that they were just trying the wrong thing to set their sights on him.
Director Dou pushed up his glasses and said seriously, "Mr. Su's appearance is very good, so I hope you can consider it."
Ruan Wenya said embarrassedly: "I know this is a bit difficult for you. If I wasn't really anxious, I wouldn't have asked this question. We only signed a half-month filming time contract with the advertising company, and now we don't have enough time to find suitable actors."
If she couldn't find the actors, the advertisement would fail. Not only would she lose money, but she would also fail to complete the task assigned by General Manager Qi. As a sales manager, she could just pack up and go home.
Su Ling did not answer immediately. He slowly finished the tea in his cup and asked, "Do you have any special restrictions on the gender of the actors? Must they be male actors?"
Director Dou's eyes flashed, and he felt that there was something going on. "What does Mr. Su mean?"
Su Ling smiled and said, "I can recommend someone to you, but she is still a student at the Film Academy."
Director Dou said excitedly: "It doesn't matter if they are students in school. As long as they meet the requirements, it doesn't matter if they are male or female, everything will be fine!"
As for popularity? It's no longer a consideration.
Once Lin Yun's drug abuse incident came to light, everyone now knew that he was detained for shooting an advertisement in Fenghuang Mountain, which invisibly brought immeasurable popularity to Rain Dew Tea. His current advertisement was the icing on the cake. As long as he could capture the beauty of the tea mountain, show the history and culture of Rain Dew Tea, and let the audience feel the color, aroma and taste of tea through the actors' performances, he would have accomplished his mission.
Ruan Wenya breathed a sigh of relief and asked curiously, "Who would Mr. Su recommend?"
Su Ling's peach blossom eyes curved into crescents, and she smiled brilliantly. "My sister, Su Qi, is an undergraduate student at the BJ Film Academy."
Su Qi received a call from her brother just after finishing an acting class.
When she learned that her brother had taken a commercial for her, she couldn't help but exclaimed, "Ah? Me? Shooting a commercial? Really?"
When she shouted, all the students around her looked over.
Ji Fang grabbed her arm and asked excitedly, "Wow! Xiao Qiqi! Someone asked you to shoot a commercial? That's great!"
Su Qi felt dizzy from her shaking. She raised her finger and pointed at her, then continued to confirm with her brother.
Su Ling explained to her in detail on the phone that due to Lin Yun's accident, the tea merchants terminated the contract with him and the advertisement was in urgent need of actors. As the owner of the tea mountain, he recommended his sister to them. The director saw Su Qi's photo and made the final decision. He was very satisfied with her appearance and temperament. The Tea Merchants Association had no objection and was willing to pay 5 million yuan for the film after negotiation.
Five million?
Su Qi was stunned.
Some of her classmates took on extra work and earned only a few tens of millions at most, but her first commercial was worth five million?
"Originally they wanted to offer 2 million, but I managed to get 5 million for you." Su Ling said, "They offered Lin Yun 10 million for the film, and I asked for 5 million, which saved them half of the money."
Su Qi: ...
My brother’s logic is simply perfect!
"Of course, there are certain risks in accepting this advertisement." Su Ling said seriously, "Lin Yun is in trouble, and his fans are going crazy. If you accept this advertisement, it is equivalent to accepting a hot potato. You may be attacked by Lin Yun's fans. If you are afraid, we won't accept it."
"I'm not afraid!" Su Qi said firmly. She was admitted to the film school and determined to become an actor. She knew what she would face if she entered the entertainment industry. If she was cautious and missed the opportunity, she might achieve nothing in the future.
"You are worthy of being my sister." Su Ling praised, "I will send someone to pick you up this afternoon, and he will bring you to Phoenix Mountain."
"Okay...thank you brother!" Su Qi hung up the phone, feeling as happy as if she were dreaming.
I can see my brother today, I'm so happy!
"Xiao Qiqi, what's going on? Tell me quickly. How come I didn't know you had a brother?" Ji Fang asked curiously, holding her shoulders.
Su Qi was brought back to her senses by her loud voice and said sweetly, "My brother introduced me to an advertisement. It has been negotiated. I can just go over and shoot it."
"Wow! Does your brother still need a sister? Look at me." Ji Fang recommended herself.
Su Qi raised her chin slightly and raised her eyebrows: "No shortage."
Ji Fang was instantly disappointed. "Why is that? Wuwuwu~ I also want to have a good brother!"
Su Qi happily packed up her things and let Ji Fang pretend to cry.
"Tsk, isn't it just shooting a commercial? What's the point?" A harsh voice rang out, making people feel uncomfortable.
Ji Fang looked at the girl sitting in the front row, curled her lips and said, "No matter how bad she is, she is better than those who fail every audition."
The girl's face changed, and she turned around and glared at Ji Fang: "Who are you talking to?"
Ji Fang rolled her eyes and said, "Whoever takes the seat can take it~"
"Ji Fang, who do you think you are? How dare you talk to me like that?" The girl slammed the script down and cursed with contempt.
Su Qi frowned: "Lan Wei, we are all classmates, please be polite."
Lan Wei snorted coldly: "How dare you two, poor people, be my classmates? When I become a big star in the future, you must not try to get close to me!"
Ji Fang said with a smile: "Wait until you become a big star, right? Haha~"
Lan Wei is a second-generation rich girl. She has been high-profile since she entered the school. She brags every day about how rich her family is, how they live in a villa and drive a Mercedes-Benz. Her father has connections in the entertainment industry and often finds auditions for her. Unfortunately, she is a half-baked talent and fails every time. She is almost becoming a laughing stock among her classmates.
She didn't deny being scolded for being poor, after all, her family was ordinary and couldn't compare to the rich second generation, but it wasn't necessarily the case with Su Qi. Although she rarely talked about her family, Ji Fang guessed from her dress and temperament that her family background should be better than Lan Wei's.
After all, not everyone can afford the international brand "Alice". Ji Fang was so moved that she almost burst into tears when she was generously given a bottle of the 5,000 yuan essence cream.
Lan Wei was ridiculed by her and trembled with anger. "You...just wait, I will definitely teach you a lesson!"
"Childish." Su Qi was too lazy to argue with her, so she pulled Ji Fang and said, "Let's go. The next class is in Building 5. We're going to be late."
Ji Fang picked up her bag, stuck out her tongue at Lan Wei, and followed Su Qi out of the classroom.
Lan Wei stamped her feet, picked up her phone and made a call.
"——Dad! Someone is bullying your daughter at school!"
The other students who had not yet left the classroom could not help but laugh secretly when they saw this.
She is 19 years old, and she complained to her parents when she was wronged? Moreover, she was the one who started it. She is the one who started it first. She is arrogant in school because her family has some money. She looks down on everyone and offends others without knowing it. She is not worthy of sympathy at all.
After Su Ling finished calling his sister, he said to Director Dou and Ruan Wenya, "My sister has agreed. She should be in the village in the evening. You can rest assured."
Nguyen Van Nga said gratefully: "Thank you so much, Mr. Su."
Su Ling smiled and said, "You're welcome. After all, Mr. Qi and I are partners. I will help you if you encounter any difficulties."
Director Dou stood up and said cheerfully, "Then we won't bother Mr. Su anymore."
I haven’t had breakfast yet, and now that the problem is solved, my stomach is growling with hunger.
Suddenly, a strange sound was heard in the hall, and Director Dou covered his stomach embarrassedly.
"You haven't eaten yet, right? I'm about to make breakfast, why don't you stay and eat together?" Su Ling said.
"Ah? How can I do that?" Director Dou said this, but his face was full of anticipation.
Ruan Wenya politely declined. "There is breakfast at the B&B. We can just take care of one bite. Sorry to trouble Mr. Su."
Su Ling tried to persuade them to stay: "It's not a big deal to have an extra pair of chopsticks. Besides, after breakfast, I have something else I want to ask you to do for me."
Ruan Wenya said: "Then... I'm sorry to bother you."
Su Ling asked them to wait in the living room while he went to the kitchen to make breakfast.
Ruan Wenya and Director Dou had nothing to do, so they took out their phones to check Weibo.
The news of Lin Yun's drug abuse is still gaining popularity. Fans, haters, passers-by, marketing accounts, and major media outlets have all come out to comment, and Weibo is about to collapse.
Director Dou shook his head and sighed.
The entertainment industry is like this, when you are popular, you are admired by thousands, but when something goes wrong, you are despised and even attacked when you are down. Fans thought that the rivals were deliberately making trouble and digging up the idol's dark history, but Director Dou knew in his heart that the person Lin Yun really angered was Mr. Su, or rather... Mr. Su's partner, Mr. Feng, the helmsman of the Lu Group.
Just as I was thinking about it, a tall man with wet hair came down from the stairs and walked into the living room with a cold and majestic aura.
Director Dou's hands trembled and he stood up to say hello. Lu Feng nodded to him indifferently and walked towards the restaurant.
Ruan Wenya realized it later and looked at Director Dou in surprise.
Although Mr. Su was very enthusiastic in inviting them to have breakfast, they seemed to have forgotten that there was a big and restrained person in the room!
Su Ling was frying eggs when she felt someone enter the kitchen. She turned around and found it was her husband.
"Are you done with the bath?" he asked as he turned the egg over with a shovel.
"Well." Lu Feng asked, "How did the discussion go?"
Su Ling took out the toast from the toaster, put it on the chopping board, put ham, fried eggs, lettuce, and squeezed salad dressing on it. "They want me to shoot an advertisement."
When Lu Feng heard this, he frowned.
Su Ling shrugged. "I rejected it."
Lu Feng relaxed his brows.
After finishing one sandwich and putting it on a plate, Su Ling winked at him while continuing to make the second one. "Then I introduced my sister to them."
"Su Qi?" Lu Feng seemed a little surprised as well.
"Yes." Su Ling squeezed the salad dressing and said, "They couldn't find an actor temporarily, and they wanted me to shoot a commercial. I'm not a professional, so they asked a professional to do it. Although Xiao Qi is only a freshman now, she has good grades and can definitely do the job. Oh, by the way, are your two assistants free? Can you ask them to help send Xiao Qi over?"
"I'll let Zhan Yang answer it." Lu Feng took out his cell phone from his pocket and called Zhan Yang.
Su Ling felt relieved and continued to make breakfast. Soon, four plates were placed on the table. Each plate contained sandwiches, vegetable salads, fruits and grilled sausages, as well as a cup of milky cereal, which was rich and nutritious.
Director Dou and Ruan Wenya swallowed their saliva and sat there stiffly without moving.
Su Ling greeted them warmly: "Eat quickly, only when you are full will you have the strength to work."
Director Dou was stunned for a moment: "What are you doing?"
Su Ling forked a cherry tomato and said, "The crew hasn't started work yet. Instead of sitting around and getting bored, why don't we go experience rural life together?"
"Experience... rural life?" The two looked at Su Ling in confusion as he gracefully stuffed the cherry tomatoes into his mouth.
Rui Feng picked up the cereal, took a sip, and a hint of fondness flashed in his eyes.
After eating the cherry tomatoes, Su Ling wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin and smiled gently: "Today we are going to catch rice fish in the fields and do a live broadcast. You guys can come and play!"
Director Dou: …
