Last night, the media company was rocked by a major upheaval. Vice President Mei Jiaojiao held an emergency meeting to rectify the atmosphere and distributed Lu Feng's photo to everyone, telling them that no matter if they were capable or had connections, they should behave themselves when they saw him.
Although there weren't any major problems within the media company, which company doesn't have a troublemaker?
Yuan Yi'an went in, which is a short-term pressure for Mei Jiaojiao, but after the pressure passes, there will be a huge opportunity. The filming location upstairs from yesterday has been removed, and colorful background paper has been laid out all around.
A dozen or so people were standing not far away, all of them handsome men and beautiful women. Several cameramen had already set up their equipment, and the lighting technicians were ready. The director stood there somewhat nervously because they had heard that this boss had a bad temper and had already sent the boss of a subordinate company to jail.
He doesn't even have a script right now, and he has no idea what he's going to film. All he knows are two things: Andy Lau and commercials!
This is probably the biggest challenge of his career.
As Lu Feng went upstairs, he was greeted by a constant stream of greetings. He responded to each greeting. Mei Jiaojiao was in her thirties, not very tall, less than 1.6 meters. She was dressed in a business suit and looked quite capable.
"President Lu, this way please. Everything you instructed is ready and we can start filming at any time. We just contacted Andy Lau's agent, and they are already at the port and should be on their way within half an hour!" Mei Jiaojiao said as she walked. "Regarding Yuan Yi'an's matter, we have been holding more meetings internally these past few days, and at the same time, we have been thoroughly implementing the corporate culture. We are also conducting self-examination and self-correction."
"Like I said before, make money in the entertainment industry, but don't get involved in entertainment industry affairs, understand?" Lu Feng gave her a clear definition.
“Understood, I will definitely emphasize this in the meeting!” Mei Jiaojiao introduced to Lu Feng: “This is Director Wang, the director of commercials and music videos that our company often collaborates with.”
"Hello, Mr. Lu!" Director Wang shook hands with Lu Feng.
"Hello, hello. This advertisement is probably in a bit of a rush, so let's hurry up and try to shoot all the scenes that need to be reshot today. Post-production will take several more days," Lu Feng said to Director Wang.
"Mr. Lu, I just wanted to understand what kind of scene this advertisement is mainly set up, and what you're trying to emphasize? I looked at the set setup, but I'm not very familiar with it, especially since you just brought out a bunch of flowers." Director Wang asked awkwardly, "Is there a script?"
Kevin grabbed a chair from the side and sat down. He wanted to see what kind of fool Lu Feng would make today. Someone who knew nothing about filming was bound to cause some kind of trouble.
“There’s no script, but I have a general idea. It’s a youth-oriented theme. We’ll find some dancers, you know, they’ll dance, but it can’t be too cliché. It needs to be high-end and international, understand?” Lu Feng said to Director Wang.
Director Wang didn't quite understand!
"Mr. Lu, how about we find a template and film Andy Lau's parts first? After all, he's quite busy, so this would be better," Director Wang suggested.
"No, no, no, what I want is... um... you understand?" Lu Feng looked at Director Wang.
Director Wang looked at Vice President Mei. He understood? Understood my foot! He knew these bosses too well. They might be very capable in business, but they always wanted to show off their artistic talents, and the result was always a mess.
"Mr. Lu, I've been shooting commercials for many years. Generally, commercials highlight the product. We don't have a script right now, but the overall direction is similar. The simpler the commercial, the better. For example, we could have Andy Lau just hold the product and pose for a photo." Director Wang explained the philosophy of simplicity.
"No, no, no, I think long-term promotion is through dance and songs, especially simple and catchy ones." Lu Feng waved to a few dancers and said, "Come here for a moment, let's design a dance move on the spot."
Director Wang was completely speechless upon hearing this. On-site design?
"Mr. Lu..."
"Don't rest. You'll be mainly in charge of shot design and storyboarding in a bit." Lu Feng waved his hand, gesturing for him to sit down.
Du Guoying wanted to step forward to help, but he didn't understand these things at all and couldn't get involved by standing aside. Kevin said to Du Guoying, "Xiao Du, come here."
Du Guoying walked over, and Kevin gestured for him to sit on the chair next to him, saying, "Let him do whatever he wants. I want to see what he can produce in two or three days. Does he really think just anyone can make a commercial?"
"We can't just watch President Lu make a fool of himself, can we?" Du Guoying said, somewhat embarrassed.
“It’s not that we’re laughing at him, it’s that he’s deliberately making himself a laughingstock.” Kevin patted Du Guoying on the shoulder and said, “Don’t worry!”
Director Wang didn't want to get involved anymore, so he sat there without saying a word, leaving only Lu Feng and Vice President Mei, a bunch of people who didn't know anything about the business, to do the work.
Lu Feng called all the dancers over, looked them over, and said, "The movements are relatively simple: one is a gesture for making a phone call, and the other is a gesture for riding a horse. Yes, just these two movements. Everyone, try practicing them."
Now not only the director was confused, but the dancers were also confused. They gestured and tried to imitate the actions of making a phone call and riding a horse, which seemed a bit strange. Is this dance?
"That light!" Lu Feng shouted towards the light source, "I want a more textured feel, that kind of dark gray, you understand?"
"Black gray?" The lighting technician was dumbfounded, almost ready to turn off the lights on set and quit.
"I want that kind of rich, textured feel, like in international blockbusters, where it appears gray against different colored backgrounds, creating a strong visual contrast, understand?" Lu Feng asked the lighting technician. "Understood?"
