Around noon, they had already shot the fourth commercial out of the twelve.
Chen Guang performed perfectly the entire time. He was always able to get into character in a second. Whatever Chu Ming wanted, he could give it to him.
Chu Ming was the first to make a mistake. The other actors in the last eight commercials didn't even talk about their scenes. That wasn't all, but even the props were off.
Chu Ming was in an awkward position.
"This … this is really unexpected, unexpected."
Chen Guang patted him on the shoulder and said, "Director Chu, shall we go for lunch first then? Time is of the essence, don't screw up! "
"I won't, I won't."
Chen Guang and Shen Yuliang left for lunch with the other eleven companies. Yang Xi stayed behind to help Chu Ming.
When everyone was gone, Yang Xi wanted to say something, but Chu Ming waved him off. "Yang Xi, shut up! I'm embarrassed enough today, please let me go. What the hell, where did he learn his acting skills from? Could it be that this person is really born with knowledge? "
Yang Xi scratched his head as he looked at his teacher. Actually, he wasn't too sure what happened to Chen Guang. "I don't know either. Maybe Big Bro Chen Guang is self-taught?"
"Do you know what I want to say right now?"
"Bastard!"
"I think so too."
Yang Xi chuckled.
They busied themselves for the whole afternoon. Around 5 pm, all twelve commercials with Chen Guang were finished.
Chu Ming and the rest of the crew were in a daze until the announcement that they were done.
During the day, Chen Guang, who was supposed to be a rookie, had become the leader of the crew.
This kind of efficiency was unprecedented in the entire advertising industry, and it seemed that there wouldn't be anyone who could surpass it for a while.
"Take care, Chen Guang!"
Shen Yuliang's face nearly cracked from smiling as he waved his hand at Chen Guang's car.
The people in charge of the other eleven companies weren't any better. There were some words that they didn't say. According to the current situation, Chen Guang's fame would continue to soar as long as nothing unexpected happened.
Previously, when he signed the contract, it seemed like the endorsement contract of 150 million yuan from 12 companies was a gift to him.
Now that they thought about it, it was a huge bargain.
"What a scary guy. I've been in his shoes a few times."
Chu Ming said with a sigh.
Yang Xi also nodded his head. "I've always felt that Chen Guang ge has a sort of spirit formation on him. Anyone who is enveloped by his spirit formation wheel will involuntarily become the character they want to become."
That day, the entire advertising company's outlook on life had been flipped upside down.
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes and participated in it, who would've thought there was really someone in this world who could shoot twelve commercials in one day?
When they first started filming the online car rental commercial, everyone was shocked and impressed by Chen Guang's acting skills. They were also conquered by his strange ability to bring others into the character.
But as the filming went on, things became stranger and scarier.
Especially after a period of intense preparation in the afternoon, the prop team finally got serious and finished what they should have done in the morning.
As for the participants of the other commercials, whether they were relatively low-level models or other celebrities, who wouldn't be touched after watching the fairy one after another for a whole morning?
At noon, Chen Guang and the others went for lunch. None of them dared to leave the set. They stayed and tugged at Chu Ming and Yang Xi, trying to figure out their roles.
When they returned to work in the afternoon, everyone was more professional than they had been in the morning. They were in a more perfect state.
The result of working together was that the efficiency in the afternoon was even higher than in the morning.
If Chen Guang's performance in the morning was like a fairy floating in the air, then in the afternoon, when they watched Chen Guang's performance, it was like he had flown into outer space.
The higher the efficiency of the others, the more it showed how scary he was.
It seemed like he didn't need time to immerse himself in the character. The others beside him could also drag him in for a second. Originally, the female model was known to be the worst at acting and had a cancer of awkwardness, but in the end, she was still brought into the character in an instant.
He was a bottomless pit with no limit.
After the first scene, it was time for the next one. Just a second ago, Chen Guang was still discussing palm reading with a girl, but in the next second, he was already immersed in his character. He didn't even take a breather in between.
The commercials were shot one after another. The efficiency was so high that Chu Ming almost couldn't keep up.
In the end, he didn't even bother to look at the results. He just followed the preset camera and walked one round. Then, he said, "Pass!"
As he watched Chen Guang's car disappear into the distance, Yang Xi waved his hand. Suddenly, he snapped back to reality, "Hey, I haven't gotten in yet!"
With a yelp, Yang Xi ran after him. "Wait for me!"
He was brought into the character by Chen Guang. Originally, he had been following Chen Guang around to guide him, but after an entire afternoon of work, he felt like he had returned to his old school days. He treated himself as Chu Ming's student, and followed behind him to help him out.
Meanwhile, at the National Gallery of Art, although there were still two hours until the piano performance, the crowd outside had started to grow.
There were scalpers, and there were ordinary audiences.
No matter how good the ticketing system was, it couldn't stop the enthusiasm of the scalpers. People died for money, and birds died for food.
Outside the gallery, there were people selling toys, glow sticks, and snacks. Their shouts rose and fell, and the place was bustling with noise.
Most of the people who came to the piano performance were Chen Guang's fans, especially the famous bald group.
Yes, that's right, the poor bald leader was once again 'kidnapped' by his good friends, the 'anti-light alliance members'.
Sometimes, he felt sad. He was the most senior anti-fan of Chen Guang, but when he thought about it, he was always the one who supported Chen Guang's activities.
The bald leader raised his head and looked at the clouds in the sky. If I tell others now that I'm actually a Chen Guang anti-fan, no one would believe me.
"Hey hey hey! President Baldy! I'm also Brother Almighty's hardcore fan! Everyone in our class admires you very much! Can we take a picture together? "
See, there it goes again. That familiar tone.
Forget it, seeing that you're cute and obedient, I'll make a V sign with my hand.
"Hey, Brother Baldy, I'm sorry, I have to stand a little further away. Brother Almighty said that you're very lecherous, and I already have a boyfriend."
The smile on the president's face froze.
After the photo, the girls scattered like birds and beasts. They were attracted by the handsome foreign guys on the other side.
They didn't expect that Chen Guang had already embarked on the international path, and his fan base had spread all over the world.
The group of girls went over to ask and found out that these handsome foreign guys were actually students from a foreign pilot school. They had just graduated and came to China for a vacation. They heard that the owner of the Association's Hero's Medal who turned the tide was actually going to have a piano performance, so they immediately came over to watch the fun.
Wu Tong was wearing casual clothes and mixed in with the crowd. She walked around aimlessly, and from time to time, she whispered into her collar. She also listened to the constant reports from her subordinates through her earphones. She had a complete grasp of the situation nearby.
Although everything seemed so calm, as a top police officer in China and an outstanding student of Shunde's special training camp, her intuition told her that things weren't so simple.
She tried her best to not be so conspicuous. Her sharp eyes scanned the crowd, trying to find every suspicious person, especially foreigners, who were in her range of surveillance.
Apart from Wu Tong, the Guangding Police Headquarters had recently expanded more than ten non-staff personnel. They were experts with internal strength, and they were also disguised as ordinary people. They served as hidden sentries in the crowd.
In the tall buildings near the National Gallery of Art, there were more than thirty snipers densely packed together.
There were also many police elites mixed in with the staff of the Gallery of Art.
In a sense, this was probably the public performance with the highest level of security in China in the past ten years.
Wu Tong gritted her teeth. I don't believe that there will be any trouble like this.
At around 6: 30, Chen Guang and the others arrived first. The people lining up outside to enter the venue had already filled the entire square.
Chen Guang first met with the staff of the major live broadcast platforms and Tomato TV, and they exchanged a few simple greetings.
Xiao Cong didn't come today. It was said that he was recently working on a show called "HIGH Goddess!" He was so busy with his online variety show. God knows if he was busy with proper business or doing something shameless with his internet celebrity beauties.
The official performance would start at 8: 00 pm. Before that, Chen Guang was prepared to meet the five masters that Tianguang Brokerage had spent a lot of money to invite.
It was Chen Guang's first time meeting them.
In order to invite these five masters, Tianguang Brokerage had spent a total of 1.2 million USD, which was almost half of the total investment for the piano performance.
In the words of the others in the company, this was purely burning money.
With Brother All-Rounder's fame as a foundation, and so many resources piled up in the early stage, there was no need to worry about ratings and attention. It was really not worth it to spend at least 200,000 USD per person on these arrogant so-called masters.
Although these masters were famous in the piano industry, on a global scale, in the minds of ordinary people, they actually weren't that famous. It really didn't help with the box office and attention.
Although art had no boundaries, people who paid attention to art had boundaries.
Everyone could listen to piano music, and there were countless people who could play it, but how to play it was considered good was a matter of the benevolent and the wise.
There was a saying among music aficionados, "Listen to music under 10,000 USD." This sounded ridiculous, but it wasn't without reason.
The same principle applied to the art of piano. People who didn't know the art heard a classic pop song, no matter how many mistakes they made during the performance, ordinary people couldn't hear it at all. They could only shout along, "It's good, it's good, it's really good."
But if it was a Great Master, his perfect performance of a Prime Minister's eccentric tune for a minority audience would also give people a good scolding. What the heck was he playing?
Because they didn't understand, they only knew how to judge based on their feelings. But without training, their feelings were often biased and inaccurate.
The result of this phenomenon was that real masters, because they were immersed in research, they didn't have time to promote themselves. They really weren't famous among ordinary people.
But in the eyes of people who were in the industry, it was different.
It was because they knew the art that they could understand the power of these masters.
People standing outside the circle didn't really understand, but people standing inside the circle could see through the fog and see the achievements of the masters.
Chen Guang didn't hesitate to spend a lot of money to invite five masters. In the eyes of other people in Tianguang Brokerage, it was too extravagant, and it didn't help the company's profits.
But their objections were useless. The boss had a big butt, so the boss had the final say.
"Chief Chen, I don't understand, I really don't understand, why do you have to find them? You don't know how difficult it is to deal with these five people. At first, I coaxed them to come, and they thought we were going to hold a special concert for them, so they talked to me nicely. But then they heard that each of them only had time for two songs, and the rest of the time was yours, and they immediately fell out with me. "
Fang Tianyu followed beside Chen Guang, desperately pouring out his grievances.
He couldn't help but feel wronged. In the beginning, these masters didn't actually offer more than 200,000 USD, and each of them didn't even offer 100,000 USD.
But once they realized that they had become the background, these people immediately shook their heads like a rattle drum, and those with bad tempers were ready to leave.
Of course, masters had their reservations. Even if they didn't want to earn money, they couldn't lower themselves to be the background of others.
In the end, Fang Tianyu had no choice but to raise the price crazily, and in the end, each person offered more than 200,000 USD. Then, one by one, he persuaded them with kind words, and he took out videos of Chen Guang's previous performances, saying that this concert was more of an exchange and learning experience, and this group of people finally relented after some discussion.
As the marketing manager, something that could have been settled with 500,000 to 600,000 USD became 1.2 million USD in his own hands. This was his mistake at work, and he felt guilty for making the company spend too much money.
Chen Guang ignored his grievances. How can I tell you that I invited these masters to come to slap their faces?
With their status in the industry, those who understand will naturally understand. They came all the way here to be slapped in the face by me, and I feel that paying each of them 200,000 USD is not a loss.
That's right, this is a face-slapping fee!
Why is it that after playing the piano so many times in public, the production of faith in the piano world still hasn't increased?
Chen Guang has actually been thinking about this question.
The reason is actually not complicated. There is no first place in literature, and there is no second place in martial arts. The level of playing the piano is a particularly subjective matter. It is really a bit difficult to convince others in playing the piano.
The so-called masters are all accumulated over time, with gorgeous performances again and again, or have extremely high attainments in the arts. They teach people their skills, and they have students all over the world, so that they can slowly be recognized by the world.
At the very least, they should at least win a few international awards.
It is ridiculous to want to be recognized by others with just a few public performances. It is useless no matter how beautiful and gorgeous you play.
Therefore, this time, Chen Guang did not hesitate to invite five publicly recognized masters, just to have a reference for his performance, so that others will be convinced.
"Little Fang, uh, Fang Tianyu, I can't explain the reason behind this to you, but I have my reasons for doing this."
In the end, Chen Guang still comforted Fang Tianyu.
