Chapter 10 Launch Conference = Commercial Promotion
Don't blame the reporters for being too selective, because Lin Yicheng and Huang Shengyi are the only famous people in the crew. How can you get any attention by asking questions to others?

Without popularity, there will be no sales and no click-through rate!
Lin Yicheng and Huang Shengyi also praised each other in various ways.

One said that he was a fan of the other's books and had bought the genuine copies of every book to read. He also liked the character of Yu Zhouzhou and was very happy to be able to play the role this time.

One said that she admired the other's performance very much and had paid attention to her when she was watching "Red Apple Paradise". The other was the only choice for Yu Zhouzhou in her mind.

The colorful sedan chair is carried by everyone to promote it and avoid being tarnished.

It can be seen that Huang Shengyi has considerable experience in dealing with the media.

Another reporter asked her about Stephen Chow's new movie, and Huang Shengyi evaded the question by saying that the crew needed to keep it confidential.

After all, this is the launch conference of "Hello, Old Times", and we can't mention other movies too much.

The other questions were not too serious and the two of them handled them easily.

After asking questions, Zhou Chenggong gave travel expenses to each reporter, and these people left satisfied.

Before the era of self-media, it is better not to offend these writers.

……

"I just realized that you are so famous."

I knew Lin Yicheng was a writer before, but I had never read his works. After I accepted the role, I only did some research and still didn’t read the novel.

After all, there is a deep generation gap.

"Hey, that's two different things. I'm still a novice in TV dramas. Teacher Wang, please give me some guidance."

"It's not about giving instructions, everyone just wants to make the show a good one."

After chatting with Uncle Dong for a while, Lin Yicheng walked over to Senior Huang.

Senior Huang has already put on her makeup, and the well-fitting school uniform looks a bit eye-catching on her.

Lin Yicheng's eyes lit up. This was the feeling, the feeling of first love.

"Senior, how are your preparations going?"

"No problem, you can start anytime."

Huang Shengyi is not a novice, and after being trained by Stephen Chow, the role of Yu Zhouzhou is indeed not difficult for her.

Compared with the four great Tang Dynasty poets, Huang Shengyi's acting skills are almost as good, if not better.

……

Lin Yicheng went to the photography, lighting and sound departments respectively and took a look, but found no problems.

I took a look at the overall environment and compared it with my storyboard script, and there was no problem.

He sat behind the monitor and picked up a handheld speaker, "Attention all departments, take your positions, and prepare to start filming."

“Photography in place.”

"The lights are in place."

"The recording is in place."

Several people responded.

After thinking for a while, Lin Yicheng said,

"Wang Liming, when Yu Zhouzhou opens the door and comes in, I want a long lens, gradually focusing on her upper body and face as she moves."

"Senior, please pay attention to your facial expressions later."

"OK, director." Wang Liming cooperated very well, and Huang Shengyi also nodded.

"Ren Xingyu, your co-pilot should shoot Yu Zhouzhou's profile the whole time. After she gets to her position, I need you to take a surround shot of the entire classroom. Don't shake, hold it steady."

"No problem." Ren Xingyu replied. He was brought here by Lao Wang. He is a classmate from the photography department and this time he is Lao Wang's assistant.

"Everyone else, especially you guys, Mi Qiao, please read the book and look at the people. Don't make stupid mistakes."

The few people who were named also nodded in agreement.

After giving his instructions, seeing that everyone understood what he meant, Lin Yicheng made a gesture to the script supervisor and production manager.

The other party slapped the board.

"First scene, first act."

"Action!"

Lin Yicheng watched the monitor carefully as Yu Zhouzhou pushed the door open and walked into the classroom, then came to her seat...

Lin Yicheng frowned but said nothing.

When Yu Zhouzhou took the book out of her bag and put it down to take her close-up shot, "Click!"

Everyone looked at Lin Yicheng, wondering what had gone wrong.

"Props, pull the south curtains up a bit, it's not bright enough!"

"Lighting," Lin Yicheng called the lighting engineer over and pointed at the monitor, "The lighting needs to be completely revised."

You get what you pay for. I couldn't see this during the interview, but today I had problems as soon as I got started. The pictures I took were completely different from what I expected.

He suppressed his unhappiness and said, "Look here, there is such a big shadow on the heroine's face. Are we making a youth film or a horror film?"

"I'll give you five minutes. I want soft and warm light."

The lighting engineer was also a little embarrassed and quickly assured, "Don't worry, I'll adjust it right away."

"Okay, everyone, get back to your feet, put on makeup and see if any touch-ups are needed, and the stagehands will check the props."

After 5 minute, filming continued.

There were no problems this time and the footage passed in one go.

We shot two more shots and then it was time for lunch.

The lunch standard is not bad, two meat dishes, one vegetable dish and a bowl of soup for 10 yuan. Paired with the drinks sponsored by Wahaha, it is quite rich.

Huang Shengyi was just trying to find some time to chat with Lin Yicheng, but she found that the other party had already gone to the backstage staff.

With a slight sigh, Huang Shengyi entered a tent accompanied by her assistant.

This is a lounge specially prepared for her.

Lin Yicheng talked to Ren Xingyu, the lighting staff, and the sound engineer one by one, and put forward his own requirements for the afternoon shoot.

At this time, the stage manager came over with a notebook, opened it and showed it to Lin Yicheng, "The interview for this morning's press conference is out."

Lin Yicheng took a look at NetEase News, and found it in a prominent place in the entertainment section.

One of the "Three Musketeers of the Post-80s Literary World", an oriental fantasy flag bearer - "Hello, Old Times" starts filming today

There are three pictures in the article, including a group photo of all the main creators, a solo photo of Lin Yicheng, and a solo photo of Huang Shengyi.

The content is quite detailed and true. The first half talks about the start of filming of "Hello, Old Times", the theme and general content of the drama, and then the questions and answers of the interview.

In the middle are listed the current works of Lin Yicheng and Huang Shengyi.

Finally, it expresses expectation.

After watching it, Lin Yicheng felt as if he had drunk a glass of plain water, feeling a little bland.

That's it? Not even a shock!

How big a splash can such content make?

Lin Yicheng wondered in his heart whether he should find an opportunity to introduce the example of UC Shock Department to his uncle later.

After lunch and a short break, the filming was still bumpy.

Because it was the first day, in order to coordinate the crew as quickly as possible, Lin Yicheng did not arrange his own role and concentrated on directing.

However, the progress was not satisfactory.

Either there's a small mistake here or there's a mistake made by that person.

Sure enough, cheap things are not good.

I only took a dozen shots in the afternoon.

Including the photos taken in the morning, the progress is less than two-thirds of the expected level.

After dinner, the crew packed up and returned to the hotel.

Lin Yicheng gathered several people behind the scenes together again, asked them one by one, and answered them one by one. Finally, the arrangements were completed, and it was almost 9 o'clock.

Lin Yicheng walked out of the hotel and prepared to return to his residence.

When he needs to think, he doesn't like noisy environments.

Huang Shengyi, who happened to be going out, opened her mouth but said nothing as she watched Lin Yicheng leave.

From the time we met until now, it seems that this junior has never talked to me about any personal topics other than work.

They didn't even exchange cell phone numbers.

This caused her, a "star girl" at Beijing Film Academy, to feel deeply confused.

Is it because I am not attractive enough? Or is it because my junior is not interested in the right thing?
