Chu Ming gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.
He had made up his mind. No matter how Mr. Shen tried to plead for Chen Guang, he had to be perfect. He couldn't afford to make any mistakes!
If you have any objections, I'll just get someone else to do it.
I won't be able to handle such a difficult male lead anyway.
I, Chu Ming, have been directing commercials for more than 20 years. I have my own professionalism. Even if you guys are willing to make do with it, I'm sorry, but I, Chu Ming, live by three words: never make do with it!
"Old Chu, don't pull a long face. You don't know how hard it was for us to invite Chen Guang. I know you're under a lot of pressure, so please bear with it."
It wasn't the first time Shen Yuliang and Chu Ming had worked together. One look at Chu Ming's face and he knew that he was angry.
Actually, Shen Yuliang didn't say it out loud. Even he felt that Chen Guang was too much and knew how to put on airs.
Because of you and Brother Bai Hua, as well as the importance the elders have placed on you, we want to improve our relationship with you. That's why we're rushing to give you money.
That being said, we're willing to give you money. We also know that you're a busy man. You can't be like other celebrities, who don't care about endorsement contracts.
So, if you don't want to move around and follow the director's orders, we'll accept it.
To make it easier for you, we've even gathered all 12 companies to shoot in one company. But you want to shoot 12 commercials in one day?
To be honest, Brother Chen Guang, you're a little hurtful.
Shen Yuliang thought that, but he didn't show any dissatisfaction on his face. He even comforted Chu Ming.
Chu Ming sighed. "President Shen, I'm not trying to nitpick. I've seen people shoot three commercials in one day, but they're all great actors. They're famous in the industry for being able to move quickly and work well with each other. But as for Chen Guang, I admit that he's great in other aspects, and I also admit that he's very popular in the country recently. But what did he do in the past have anything to do with filming? "
Shen Yuliang wanted to say something but stopped. Chu Ming interrupted him again, "Don't use his scenes in 'Tears for a Country' to comfort me. I know what happened. Back then, when they filmed that scene, Big Beard Deng almost fainted from anger. Why do you think he can take twelve pictures a day? He's slapping the faces of all the bosses! How could he be so arrogant! President Shen, what kind of background does he have? Is it worth it? "
Shen Yuliang sighed. What kind of background could Chen Guang have?
He really couldn't say anything about this matter. If he did, he was afraid of scaring people to death.
"Old Chu, please bear with him. Anyway, don't ask too much of him later. Let's try our best to finish filming today."
"Impossible! CEO Shen, you know me very well. Anyway, I'll leave it at that. The films that I, Old Chu, produce have never been bad! "
"Hi! Why are you so stubborn? "
"I have my own principles too! You let me take this job because you think highly of my ability. I can't fool you! It's no big deal, it's no big deal, you can just replace him! "
"Hey, Old Chu, why are you being so stubborn?"
"I'm not being stubborn. I'm just stating the facts!"
After waiting for a while, people from the other 11 companies came one after another. Shen Yuliang was the only one who was at the level of Shen Yuliang. The other companies at most only sent the manager of the publicity department or the manager of the marketing department.
Although no one said anything, they didn't seem to be very happy.
Shen Yuliang still wanted to comfort Chu Ming, but it was useless. While the two of them were arguing, Chen Guang, accompanied by Yang Xi, Yue Hong, and Lu Xiaoliang, came from the entrance of the advertising agency.
"So this is Chen Guang? He looks so young. Honestly, he's more handsome in real life than on TV. "
"Little lass, are you yearning for love?"
"Pfft! Screw you!"
"You'd better save your breath. Look at the people around him. They don't like small models like us."
Maybe because his bald head was too dazzling, Chen Guang was recognized from afar. Of course, he didn't think so. The Old Man walked with a dignified manner. When he walked, the aura of the Nine Five Five Elements would dissipate naturally. Of course, he was quite different from the others.
"CEO Chen, don't you think we are too arrogant?"
Lu Xiaoliang saw many familiar faces that he had seen before when he signed the contract. He felt a little guilty.
Chen Guang pretended to be ignorant. "How are we arrogant?"
"How about we shoot two or three films today? Can we continue tomorrow? "Lu Xiaoliang finally said what was on his mind.
Chen Guang said with a smile, "Buttface, I've told you not to try to figure out me, your boss, with the mentality of an ordinary person. Otherwise, you won't be able to keep up with me sooner or later. Don't you think so, Brother Yang? "
Yang Xi rolled his eyes. To be honest, he used to be a TV commercial director. He knew Chen Guang's acting skills were excellent. However, he really didn't think Chen Guang would succeed today.
He also felt that Chen Guang was being a little too careless. Even if you're good at acting, how can you guarantee that the person you're acting with will be fine?
"Brother Chen Guang, you're finally here. Do you want to take a break? Then you can shoot my first one? "Shen Yuliang walked over with Chu Ming beside him.
Chen Guang waved his hand carelessly. "It doesn't matter. Let's just shoot. There are so many people here. How can we waste our time?"
"You also know that it's a waste of time to call everyone here? Mr. Chen, you're really extravagant, "Chu Ming said sarcastically.
Turning around, Chen Guang looked at Chu Ming. This old man looked to be in his fifties with a grizzled beard. He wore a pair of brown spectacles, and his goatee was tied into a whip. He looked somewhat artistic, and he should be the director of this advertisement. However, the words that came out of his mouth weren't pleasant to the ears.
Ignorance is bliss. He must have thought that I'm going to mess things up today. That's why he's not happy with me.
What a pitiful guy. He's trying to figure out the Old Man's acting skills with the mentality of an ordinary person.
Shen Yuliang felt a headache coming on. If it weren't for the fact that Chu Ming had written all the scripts, he would have kicked this stupid director away.
You're the only one who's not happy?
You think you're the only one who's not happy?
I'm the one who's not happy!
Can't you see that I'm holding it in?
Do you think it's easy for us to maintain our relationship?
It's hard to provide help in times of need, but it's easy to add flowers to brocade. Chen Guang didn't lack money right now, and if he angered the other party, what could he do if the other party decided to break the contract?
Sue the director of the Guangding General Bureau for breaking the contract?
No way!
Other companies can just change their spokesperson, but I'm in big trouble!
Where am I going to find such a suitable spokesperson?
Shen Yuliang was holding the thousands of taxi booking forms that Chen Guang had made in the past. He was just waiting for the TV commercial to be shot. Then, the company's resources would be focused on him. That way, he'd be able to get the company's image back on track.
The more crucial it was, the more afraid he was of something going to go wrong.
"Brother Chen Guang, Old Chu didn't mean it that way …"
To his surprise, Chu Ming waved his hand. "Mr. Shen, don't give me a way out. That's exactly what I meant. Mr. Chen, I know you're famous now. I'm just a small director. I don't have much influence. I think you might have a misunderstanding about TV commercials. You think it's as simple as holding the product and posing according to the script. No, no, no. I have to tell you, it's not that simple. I don't know what makes you think you can finish all twelve in a day, but I can tell you clearly that if you don't meet my requirements, you won't get a single one today! "
Shen Yuliang pinched his forehead. I can't take it anymore. My heart, liver, stomach, and kidneys are all hurting.
At the same time, Chen Guang was furious. Isn't this Chu Ming a little too full of himself? Fine, if you're really that capable, then let's get someone else. I've been slapping your face too many times recently, and you're trying to act cool. If I don't teach you a lesson, you won't know why flowers bloom.
"Mr. Chu, don't be like this. Chen Guang's acting is very good." Yang Xi spoke up at this time. He also felt the tension in the air, so he quickly stepped forward to smooth things over.
"Yang Xi, why are you here?" Chu Ming clearly knew who Yang Xi was.
Yang Xi looked at Chen Guang apologetically. His eyes were saying, Big Bro, please give me some face and don't get mad.
Looking at Su Tao's pleading appearance, Chen Guang's heart softened. Consider yourself lucky that someone is pleading for you. Otherwise, Chen Guang would really have followed your wishes and sent you packing.
Yang Xi saw that Chen Guang had finally calmed down, so he said, "Isn't Chen Guang going to act in 'Women'? Director Deng asked me to follow Brother Chen and explain the script to him."
Chu Ming snorted. "Come on, I've seen directors' assistants guiding scenes, but I've never seen anyone like you following around 24/7. You even came to my place. Don't try to fool me. Mr. Chen's acting is really good. Do you think Mr. Deng would let you guide him? "
This time, it was Yang Xi's turn to have a headache. He quickly turned to Chen Guang and blinked. He pretended to introduce, "Brother Chen Guang, when I was in school, Mr. Chu taught me a few photography courses. He's very famous in school, and he's very good at making commercials. A good commercial will help you build up your image, um …"
Seeing that Chu Ming was on the verge of tears, Chen Guang understood Yang Xi's intentions. It seemed that Yang Xi really respected this old fella. Forget it, I owe you a favor since you helped me when I was still a burden in Wujing Film City, so I'll give you some face.
"Alright, Brother Yang, you don't have to say anymore. I understand, I understand. Um, Director Chu, I know why you have such a big problem with me, but I have to make this clear. I'm not trying to act like a big shot today. Let's cut the bullsh * t and shoot the scene the way we're supposed to shoot. Let's just read the script and see how it goes, alright? "
"Alright, alright, let's go get our makeup done."
Shen Yuliang was afraid that the two of them would quarrel if they continued talking, so he immediately came over and dragged Chen Guang away.
