Chapter 976 Misplaced Life
As soon as I stepped out of the vehicle, I received warm cheers.
However, in order to avoid confusion, Jiang Yuan asked his assistant to help receive the letters, and he quickly ran into the VIP entrance.
During the time he joined the crew, many fans knew where Jiang Yuan was filming, but they were more obedient and did not disturb him.
After entering the waiting room, Jiang Yuan lowered his head and read the script of the commercial.
This time the crew had about four days of rest, and the studio also took advantage of this break to arrange two trips for them.
One of them was the shooting of an endorsement advertisement, and after the advertising schedule ended, Jiang Yuan went directly to participate in the recording of Li Xiaoyue’s new variety show.
Although it was just a short advertising film, it fell into the category of creative advertising and a short script was specially written for it, which required Jiang Yuan to demonstrate certain acting skills.
While in the waiting room before boarding the plane, Jiang Yuan also carefully thought about the script.
Unlike the recently filmed "Wandering Blue Planet", the script of the movie has always been in Jiang Yuan's mind, and he also prepared for a long time before joining the crew.
Advertising endorsement is a brand new scenario for Jiang Yuan. It also requires Jiang Yuan to take a break from the role he has recently been involved in, which is still quite challenging.
Once on the plane, even though it was a short flight, Jiang Yuan, Zhang Qing and other studio employees all got into work mode.
After preliminarily confirming cooperation with Jiang Yuan on new endorsements, there is still a lot of work to be completed behind the scenes before relevant cooperation can be achieved.
In addition to studying advertising scripts, Jiang Yuan would occasionally open his mobile phone memo and start thinking about the script adaptation of "La La Land".
After all, this was the big plan that Jiang Yuan had prepared for Fu Yunshen a long time ago.
The two MVs he collaborated with Fu Yunshen recently became a huge hit, which made Jiang Yuan think about this script. He found that it is quite complicated to adapt it, and there are many things that need to be considered.
However, Jiang Yuan started working on the adaptation of the script, and was also prepared to synchronize the progress with Fu Yunshen in the short term to show that he was serious about it.
Because I was always busy with things to deal with, I hardly noticed the passage of time before the plane arrived at the destination city of this trip.
Whether it is the shooting of commercials or the recording of variety shows, the imperial capital was chosen.
Jiang Yuan has been to the capital city many times.
Whether it is previous tours, in which the imperial capital is an extremely important stop, or some daily work, I often come to this city.
"There were too many people today, so we could only drive around, say hello, and leave."
While waiting for their luggage in the lounge, Zhang Qing shared the situation with Jiang Yuan.
Just like when they set out, many fans came to the airport to greet them, and since it was daytime, it reportedly attracted quite a few passers-by to watch.
Despite the huge momentum, the studio quickly prepared a response plan.
"Okay, should I shoot a vlog? I haven't been able to shoot for you guys lately because I'm on the set."
Jiang Yuan was already accustomed to the situation at the airport and was mainly thinking about another problem.
After all, the previously updated vlog programs have gained good reputation and response among the fan groups. Even some passers-by like the atmosphere of Jiang Yuan's vlog, attracting some new fans.
"I feel like we can shoot a small special about the life on the crew." Zhang Qing thought about it and gave his suggestion.
“After all, we probably won’t be able to shoot too much content during these two days. It would be better to add some footage of the crew’s life, edit it, and then release it after the film is finished.” Zhang Qing shared her thoughts.
"You have a point." Jiang Yuan nodded upon hearing this and decided to pat himself a little when he remembered it.
For example, this is such a moment. After the luggage was loaded into the business car and it took a detour to the exit to pick up fans, Jiang Yuan turned on the camera of his mobile phone to take a photo and record it.
From the airport, Jiang Yuan's vehicle went directly to the hotel.
It was already afternoon when they arrived, and Jiang Yuan hadn't even finished her makeup, so it was impossible for her to start filming right away.
The shooting of the commercial was scheduled for the next day.
When they arrived in the imperial capital that day, Jiang Yuan went out with the team to find a restaurant to eat, which was also the place Lu Qingge had introduced before.
After dinner, we strolled around the street for a while and then returned to the hotel to rest early.
The next morning, Jiang Yuan set out with the work team. She first met with the styling team arranged by the brand and had her makeup done before heading to the shooting location.
The sports brand's advertisement was filmed in a local community with a very European architectural style.
Because it is a relatively new community that is just about to hand over the houses, it is quite quiet as a shooting location and you won’t be disturbed.
"I've seen the movie you directed before and I really liked it. Can I add your contact information after the filming is finished?"
The director of the commercial is an emerging international director arranged by the brand, who has shot many excellent short films.
However, when he met Jiang Yuan, he still showed a respectful attitude, basically because Jiang Yuan had previously filmed a movie directed by him.
Seeing the director's attitude, Jiang Yuan felt somewhat fortunate and thought that it was a good thing that he had prepared the script seriously the day before.
Otherwise, if you encounter a director with this attitude on the set, if you don’t handle the situation well during filming, you will feel a little embarrassed.
But for Jiang Yuan, such filming cooperation is also a good channel to expand his social network.
After a young director named Li Zao finished filming the commercial, Jiang Yuan also confirmed the pictures and felt that the brand had a good vision in choosing him as the director of this commercial.
So after the shooting was over and the contact information was added, Jiang Yuan thought about it and tried to extend an olive branch.
"Have you ever filmed a MV before?" Jiang Yuan asked after thinking for a while.
"I have filmed several." Li Zao was still not able to react when answering.
“Can you send it to me to take a look? I still have a few MVs for the songs in my new album that haven’t been shot yet.” Jiang Yuan continued.
After watching the short film shot by Li Zao, Jiang Yuan did have the idea of inviting him to be the director of his MV.
Although the MV shot together with Fu Yunshen was also very good, but in the same album, Jiang Yuan would also think about trying a change of style.
After Jiang Yuan had said it so clearly, Li Zao also realized Jiang Yuan's intention, and his mood immediately became excited. Although Li Zao admired Jiang Yuan because he had seen his plays, it was impossible for Li Zao not to have heard of the album "Healing" which had become a hit recently.
Now that such a cooperation opportunity has suddenly emerged, although it has not yet been settled, I have a feeling of being recognized by Jiang Yuan.
"I'll find it now. I have shot several MVs before, and some of them don't have my name on them." Li Zao said and immediately took out his mobile phone to start searching.
At the same time, he also shared with Jiang Yuan some of the dark experiences he had in his early years.
For example, if you work for some well-known studios and do most of the MV work yourself, the name of the studio will still be signed at the end.
This is also an operation that some well-known studios often perform. When excellent works are produced, it is the credit of XX studio.
But if the work causes controversy, people like Li Zao will be pushed to the forefront and take the blame.
Taking the opportunity to chat a little more, Jiang Yuan also looked at several MVs with Li Zao's name on them.
These signed MVs should be able to better illustrate Li Zao's current level.
Before starting to watch, Jiang Yuan also paid attention to the data of the MV. There were also two non-main MVs of popular European and American singers, which had good results.
This also made Jiang Yuan feel a little relieved, and he felt that his invitation to Li Zao was not a wrong decision.
After watching the MV, Jiang Yuan also confirmed the feasibility of the cooperation.
"Then I'll contact you when my script is ready." Jiang Yuan explained to Li Zao that he was currently filming the movie "Wandering Blue Planet".
Li Zao was obviously aware of Jiang Yuan's recent situation and was also very interested in the movie "Wandering Blue Planet", so he chased Jiang Yuan and asked about it.
Jiang Yuan selected some information from the film's hidden scope to share with Li Zao.
This mode of cooperation was preliminarily agreed upon, and Jiang Yuan said goodbye to Li Zao and left the filming location.
Although the cooperation was only agreed upon verbally, Li Zao was not worried that Jiang Yuan would cancel the cooperation because of his trust in Jiang Yuan.
After leaving the scene, Jiang Yuan also told Zhang Qing about this incident.
"Please remember it for me. I'm afraid I'll forget it because I'm so busy lately." Jiang Yuan told Zhang Qing.
After all, it will probably take some time for me to complete the script for the next MV.
Moreover, for Jiang Yuan, even if he had not cooperated with Li Zao, if he wanted to shoot an MV, many well-known teams would still come to him, so there is a possibility of forgetting.
"Li Xiaoyue has booked a restaurant and said she wants to treat us to a meal."
When Jiang Yuan started to think about what to eat for dinner, Zhang Qing spoke.
"Then let's go." Jiang Yuan stopped hesitating after hearing that.
When filming the variety show "Yuanyouhui" previously, Li Xiaoyue also followed along with her team members.
So the relationship between the entire team and director Li Xiaoyue is pretty good.
It just so happened that they were going to record each other's new variety show the next day, and Jiang Yuan thought it would be appropriate to have dinner together in advance. After all, they hadn't seen each other for a long time.
"Okay." Zhang Qing also greeted the driver, and the car began to turn and head towards the restaurant that Li Xiaoyue had booked.
"It's this place. It's quite expensive." When Jiang Yuan arrived at the restaurant, he took a look and felt that it looked familiar. Then he remembered that this was the restaurant he and Lu Qingge had been to together.
It is a relatively expensive restaurant, but considering the high price, the quality of the ingredients and the chef's skills are quite good.
As the memories came flooding back, Jiang Yuan had a pretty good impression of this restaurant, so when he thought that he was going to eat at this restaurant later, he felt pretty good.
Although it was called a dinner party, Li Xiaoyue actually only invited Jiang Yuan, Zhang Qing, and an assistant with whom she had previously gotten along very well.
After all, if there are too many people, there won’t be enough space in the box.
What's more, although this dinner was for catching up, there was definitely a need to discuss the filming of the next day's program. If there were too many people, it would be difficult to start a conversation.
Jiang Yuan followed Zhang Qing and the assistant into the private room that had been booked in advance. Li Xiaoyue was already waiting there.
After not seeing each other for a long time, Jiang Yuan also found that Li Xiaoyue had undergone some changes.
You can clearly feel that his whole aura has changed. Compared with the "Yuanyouhui" period, he looks more like a mature program director.
From this, we can judge that he should have achieved good achievements after that, including the program that Jiang Yuan is about to record, which has also achieved good results. This is similar to the principle that fame nourishes people.
We hadn't seen each other for a while, but there were enough people there, and with someone to liven up the atmosphere, we quickly became familiar with each other again.
After ordering the dishes together, Li Xiaoyue began to introduce her own program to Jiang Yuan and others.
As a variety show, although it may not have a script, it definitely has its own core selling point, which is also the main point that Li Xiaoyue explained to Jiang Yuan and others.
"I named this program "Misplaced Life"."
"The concept of the program is based on the fact that many people, in the process of growing up, would have thought whether their lives would be completely different if they had chosen another path."
"Our program is to help everyone experience different identities and lives in two days, and record them." Li Xiaoyue briefly explained her program.
"It sounds interesting." Jiang Yuan's evaluation was the same as when he learned about the program before, but he was still a little curious, "What kind of profession and identity are acceptable?"
"Of course, anything too exaggerated can't be achieved. An artist once told us that his childhood wish was to become an astronaut." Li Xiaoyue smiled and shook her head.
"Since I haven't watched the show, I want to know what the artists who have experienced it before felt in the end. Have they achieved anything in these two days?" Jiang Yuan continued to ask, wanting to understand the extent to which the show could reach.
“Because everyone ultimately chooses areas that they are relatively confident in, and they have more or less achieved some of what they wanted to achieve. Overall, there are both satisfaction and regrets,” Li Xiaoyue said after thinking for a while.
Then he looked at Jiang Yuan and asked, "What about you? If you don't want to be an artist, what path would you choose?"
Hearing Li Xiaoyue's question, Jiang Yuan also fell into deep thought.
