[unexpected signs Chapter 15]

After receiving the news from Chen Yijun, Cheng Xia didn't rush to reply. He first called Zhou Yan, the agent, and wanted to know how the agent would arrange tomorrow.

As soon as the phone was connected, Zhou Yan said angrily, "Cheng Xia, I just wanted to find you. Chen Yijun's agent has already contacted me, saying that it's going to be a make-up test and styling tomorrow, and the MV will be shot in a week. She has a busy schedule, so we can only try our best to cooperate. Do you have any questions tomorrow? "

Zhou Yan uses the wechat version of the computer desktop to communicate with the other party's agent, while calling Cheng Xia.

Cheng Xia nodded without hesitation: "I have no problem, sister Yan, please arrange it."

Zhou Yan replied "no problem" by typing a few words on wechat, and then said: "Chen Yijun is very good. He offered to give you 20000 yuan for the performance. I want to ask your opinion. Do we want the money?"

Cheng Xia said with a smile, "don't you want money? Sister Yijun is willing to take me as a newcomer. I should thank her. It's too stingy to ask for the performance fee. It's better to play in friendship. Besides, I'm a fan of her. This time it's like following her. If she chooses someone else, I won't have the chance to show my face. "

Zhou Yan nodded happily: "you can understand. Get up early tomorrow and come to my office at 9:30. "

"OK, sister Yan, see you tomorrow."

After hanging up, Cheng Xia politely replied to Chen Yijun and expressed his thanks.

***

At this time, Tianxuan group's top floor office.

Pei Shaoze asked Zhang Fan who knocked at the door in a low voice: "what does Liu Dao say?"

Zhang Fan took a contract and handed it to him: "I just called director Liu to confirm that I will have an interview with you at 11:30 tomorrow morning in private room 1 of the western restaurant on the third floor of Longhua building."

Pei Shaoze nodded and took over the contract from Zhang Fan.

He doesn't like procrastination. If he thinks it's appropriate to meet tomorrow, the contract can be handed over to the other party on the spot and settled as soon as possible. Only when the director and screenwriter are appointed can the actors be determined and the shooting be started as soon as possible.

Liu Xueyi, the full name of director Liu, is a newcomer who graduated from the film academy's Department of editing and directing. At present, he is 26 years old. Among the directors, he is relatively young. Pei Shaoze came to him because he was cheap and had plenty of time. Big name directors charge a lot, and they don't have time.

Second, in recent years, Liu Xueyi has been very active in the field of online drama, shooting three low-cost youth idol dramas. Although he is not well-known, and the dramas he made are not so well-known, his dramas are warm in style, and the scores of film and television forums are all above 8, which is not a shoddy one. He is very strict with the quality of online drama.

The director was decided by Pei Shaoze after reading the materials of hundreds of directors.

Zhang Fan recently worked overtime with PEI Shaoze, and he admired Pei's dedication. He has to read the information of every director carefully, and also read the comments on the Internet. He even points out their representative works in the past to see the director's style.

The attitude of checking materials is as serious as that of writing graduation thesis.

From the second generation of rich grass bags to a rigorous and agile career oriented man, Pei Shaoze in front of him seems to be reborn.

Pei Shaoze handed the contract to Zhang Fan: "go to the legal department to seal it. Pick me up at the lakeside villa with the driver at 9 a.m. tomorrow. You can go with me to see Liu Dao." He raised his eyes to the assistant in front of him. Wen Yan said, "it's hard these days. Let's leave work early today."

Zhang Fan was delighted: "thank you, Mr. Pei!"

When Cheng Xia returned to his apartment, he began to read the original novel. As a result, he was so fascinated that he saw it late at night. He put down his book, went to the French window and rubbed his sore shoulder.

Suddenly, his eyes fell on a window diagonally opposite——

33rd floor, Tianxuan building.

Due to the off hours, all the lights in Tianxuan building are off, so the lights in the office on the 33rd floor are particularly conspicuous.

People in the office seem to open a window for ventilation. Cheng Xia sees a tall man get up from his desk, pour a glass of water, and then come to the window with the cup.

He couldn't see each other's face clearly across the street, but judging by his figure, he recognized it as Pei Shaoze, President Pei!

Working overtime so late?

Mr. Pei is really a responsible and dedicated boss.

[Cheng Xia's liking for you + 5]

Pei Shaoze, who just picked up the cup and was ready to drink water

Today, I didn't meet Cheng Xia at all, or even have no contact at all.

Where's the favor?

It's like a small seedling growing in a flowerpot without watering or fertilizing.

Cheng Xia is a seedling that will grow by itself.

Pei Shaoze happily finished drinking water, took out his mobile phone and sent a wechat to Cheng Xia: "do you want to shoot MV tomorrow?"

Cheng Xia was startled by the pop-up message on his mobile phone. He replied in a hurry: "yes, Mr. Pei, do you know?"

"Chen Yijun told me. Director Zhang of MV has cooperated with her many times. The director is strict. It's common to shoot a shot several times. You should be prepared. The shooting of this MV may not be as easy as you think

"I understand." Cheng Xia replied and then said, "Mr. Pei, you should have a rest early. Don't work too hard!"

"Well. You too. Go to bed early. " Pei Shaoze was about to get off work when he closed the window and went to the underground garage.

Cheng Xia saw the lights out in the office across the street, and then turned to the bathroom to take a bath.

***

The next day, Cheng Xia got up on time at seven o'clock, and after washing, she casually put on clean clothes. Anyway, Yijun said that the sponsor Association provided clothes, and he just had to take himself there.

Assistant Xu Rongrong came early in the morning to give him a nutritious breakfast. He also carried a schoolbag, which was like a treasure chest with all kinds of daily necessities. Cheng Xia couldn't help sighing: "sister Rong, you are too well prepared!"

Xu Rongrong said, "I'm your assistant. Of course I'll take good care of you."

Cheng Xia Dynasty, she showed a smile: "sister hard."

The young man is sweet and polite. It's very pleasant for Xu Rongrong to hear him call her sister. She was very glad that she chose Cheng Xia when she was assigned by the assistant, and her attitude towards Cheng Xia became more and more gentle: "eat breakfast first, and then we'll go to the company to find Zhou Yan."

When they came to the company, Zhou Yan was ready and told Cheng Xia some precautions, so they went downstairs to the parking lot together. Originally thought that Chen Yijun is a big star after all, said ten is likely to be late. As a result, Chen Yijun's nanny car was quite punctual and arrived at the garage at ten o'clock sharp.

Chen Yijun put on a pair of cool sunglasses, put down the window and waved to Cheng Xia: "Cheng Xia, come and take a car with me!"

Cheng Xia takes a look at the agent. Seeing that Zhou Yan doesn't object, she goes to sit in the back row with Chen Yijun. The agent and his assistant get into another car.

The space of Chen Yijun's nanny car is very spacious, and the back seat can easily let an adult lie down and sleep. Chen Yijun pulled up the window curtain, turned on the light, and then handed Cheng Xia a stack of materials: "this is the script of MV, you have a look first."

Cheng Xia then took a closer look and found that his role in MV had no lines from beginning to end. After all, it's the MV of a song, not a short play. It's strange when someone comes out to talk in the middle of singing. It's normal to have no lines. Performance without lines is no less difficult than performance with lines.

When there are lines, actors can express their emotions by controlling their voice size and cadence. Powerful actors can even bring the audience in with one or two lines. However, this kind of "dumb play" without lines has to rely on the actions and eyes. For Cheng Xia, this is a big challenge.

After Cheng Xia finished watching it, Chen Yijun said bluntly, "I just recorded this single last month. If I want to put it on the shelf on Valentine's day, the MV will be finished in a week, and there will be post production, so I will be in a hurry. I have to work hard these days."

Cheng Xia said with understanding, "I understand that your song is about first love. It's more suitable to be on the shelf on Valentine's day. And this year's Valentine's day and Spring Festival are no more than three days, which is the time when all kinds of music websites have the largest traffic. "

Chen Yijun looks at Cheng Xia with gentle eyes: "there are so many singers who want to release new songs in winter vacation. It's not so easy to get out of the tight encirclement in the competitive winter vacation. It's not a casual decision to let you play the MV of this song. The first time I saw you that day, I thought you were especially suitable for this song. Cheng Xia, come on. "

Cheng Xia nodded seriously: "sister Jun, don't worry, I will cooperate well."

Chen Yijun smiles and pats Cheng Xia on the shoulder. He takes out his mobile phone and takes a group photo with Cheng Xia. She wanted to send a circle of friends, wrote a few sentences and deleted them, saying: "no, I have to keep it a secret. I'll give you a surprise then!"

Soon, the nanny car drove to a nearby middle school.

Due to the recent winter vacation, the students all went home. Chen Yijun simply borrowed the school's venue to shoot the MV.

The staff are ready at the scene.

As soon as Chen Yijun got out of the car, he took Cheng Xia to see the director: "this is director Zhang. This is the new person I told you, Cheng Xia. "

Director Zhang is very strict and keeps improving. He is not happy to hear that Chen Yijun has found a new singer. As a result, when the boy comes to him and politely asks "director Zhang is good", his eyes suddenly light up——

The sunshine warm youth, in the memory forever cannot forget the first love.

Isn't this a face for first love!

Director Zhang excitedly pulls Cheng Xia to the dressing room: "fast, fast, set make-up and hairstyle, I want to take a few shots to try."

Cheng Xia, who was dragged to run, was a little confused.

See Cheng Xia dragged away, agent Zhou Yan and assistant Xu Rongrong also a face nervous with the past.

Cheng Xia is sent to the dressing room by the director to change clothes.

Because the scene of the MV is at school, Cheng Xia has to change into his school uniform. The school uniform is provided by the sponsor. It's blue and white. Most people wear ugly sportswear, but it looks like a cover model on Cheng Xia. People with good proportions really look good in everything. If Cheng Xia speaks for this school uniform, it is estimated that the school uniform can be sold out of stock.

The director's eyes shine and asks Cheng Xia to come and sit down in front of the mirror. The makeup artist and stylist immediately begin to toss his face and hair. Cheng Xia feels that she is becoming a mouse on the test bench.

Make up artist sister let him open eyes, close eyes, he must obediently cooperate.

After a period of time, make-up and hairstyle are finally determined.

Simple black short hair and broken bangs, no unnecessary modification, let his whole person appear fresh and natural. Cheng Xia himself has white skin and painted foundation. He will not feel too heavy. The modification of nose shadow makes teenagers' nose more delicate and three-dimensional. The color of lipstick selected by the makeup artist is only a little darker than his own lip color, which makes him look better.

Partial daily make-up, coupled with a refreshing short hair, this is completely the school grass of middle school, right? Chen Yijun, who walked into the dressing room, cried out with exaggeration: "ah, it's so beautiful! Cheng Xia, I want to be your number one little fan sister... No, little fan sister! "

People around her were amused by her grandiose acting.

Unexpectedly, Chen Yijun, a famous singer, has this kind of off-line personality in private. Cheng Xia looked at her and said seriously, "sister Jun, you are my idol. Don't make fun of me."

Chen Yijun smiles and takes a few photos of Cheng Xia.

Director Zhang rubbed his hands excitedly: "come on, let's try to take some shots first!"
