Peng Fei finally sent a WeChat voice message at 11 p.m., which was about his work schedule for the past two days. He was really busy and really tired, which is why his voice was slurred.
Oh, the reason why Peng Fei sent such a voice message was actually at Xu Qian's request. The male lead of his food drama was a senior IT guy before he left his job, and Xu Qian thought that Peng Fei was the only suitable person to refer to.
And so time passed, spring turned to autumn, and November in China was already filled with chilly winds.
Xu Qian has secured his second official endorsement since entering the entertainment industry: IZU, a menswear brand that's easy to wear!
Although this endorsement deal was snatched from the previous tainted male star, being able to get it is a skill in itself!
Because of this endorsement, Xu Qian even took a leave of absence from the film crew to go to Beijing for filming, which took two days. Fortunately, he is usually a good person, and there was a reason for his leave request, so the director quickly agreed.
On his way back to the film set, Xu Qian received a sample video from IZU, demonstrating the high efficiency of a big star.
Of course, he himself had no say in the matter; the other party was just sending it to him out of politeness.
Yes, I'm satisfied, OK!
After he gave a token nod, the rest was up to them.
Within a week of that, all IZU stores across China quickly updated their autumn/winter collections, and the brand ambassador's posters were changed to Xu Qian.
Compared to previous years, IZU's new product launches this year were a little slower. Consumers might not notice this detail, but for countless competitors, it means they have to be more careful.
It's important to understand that choosing a spokesperson carries risks, so caution is advised.
Take, for example, the endorsement that Xu Qian picked up. The previous spokesperson was Huo Zhizhi, a man who consistently ranked in the top three of search results. In the end, he was involved with drugs and his career collapsed. IZU had already finished shooting the new product and was just waiting for the update, but in the end... all that was left was a bitter smile.
In short, this is not the first time, nor will it be the last, of endorsement mishaps. It's not just celebrities who are gambling; brands are gambling too.
However, after this incident, the clients have started looking for actors who are not popular. Although the benefits brought by popular actors are considerable, the risks are also enormous. This year's market is somewhat sluggish, so seeking a steady and cautious approach may be a good choice, at least it won't result in a loss!
With IZU's good start, Yan Lang received even more letters of intent. He has grown over the past year, and even when he is happy, it is only in private.
The topic then shifted back to the film crew.
Filming for "The Four Seasons: Winter" officially started a week ago. As the title suggests, "The Four Seasons" will be filmed for a full year. The pace is a bit slow, but slow and steady wins the race!
The film "Four Seasons" was shot in Xishui Village, Licheng. All the scenes after the male protagonist resigned and returned to his hometown are condensed in this small village.
Returning to his long-lost hometown from the bustling city, Lin Xuan (played by Xu Qian) is actually somewhat lost. He is unsure whether he made the right decision to leave his job. The experiences of the past two or three years seem to have worn away his resilience, and he appears unsteady in both his steps and expression.
The first day back home was overcast, and the cold wind made people shiver even more.
His eyes were finally opened when his mother appeared at the village entrance.
The first meal I had upon returning to my hometown was cooked by my mother.
There was a small dish of pickled radishes on the table. They were a pale pink color, and the radishes were sliced into pieces. They were very appetizing.
The first dish was spinach freshly picked from the garden, stir-fried with lard, and it smelled especially delicious.
The second dish was my mother's specialty, stuffed pork with tiger skin. Each green pepper was stuffed with meat filling, and every bite was full of fresh and delicious flavor.
The third dish was bean cakes, something Lin Xuan had eaten since childhood. He moved his lips, picked up a bean cake, which contained sugar and crumbly red beans.
It's extremely sweet.
But in that instant, Lin Xuan's eyes reddened. He looked at his mother and smiled for a long time, a smile that was a mixture of grievance and relief.
His mother didn't say anything, but instead, just like when he was a child, she reached out and gently patted his back.
"If you're tired, let's go home," the mother said.
“cut——”
"Pass--"
It took Xu Qian a while to recover from his daze. He had accidentally projected his image onto his parents. His parents had left when he was very young. In the 21st century, he still had two photos of them, but here, he had almost forgotten what they looked like.
Xu Qian turned to the actress playing his mother. She had a gentle look in her eyes and just smiled when she saw him looking over.
"Aunt Lin, thank you for your hard work," Xu Qian said with a smile.
"You've worked hard too, go home and rest after you've finished work."
To film this scene that night, the director made revisions again and again, and when he finally got through it, it was already 11 p.m.
Yan Lang quickly covered Xu Qian with his coat, then touched his hands; they were quite warm, so that was fine.
"Where's the water?" Xu Qian had just eaten two pieces of bean cake, and his mouth was now sweet.
"Here." Yan Lang handed him the thermos again.
After drinking the water, Xu Qian stood up and stomped his feet before walking over to the director. He first watched the footage again and then listened to the director explain the shot. Only after this back and forth did the day's filming come to a complete end.
