Chapter 550: Old Driver

"Attention all, Meteor Garden, shot No. 1, get ready... bang!"

The sun is shining brightly and the sea breeze is gentle.

carpet of green grass.

Xie Bing was holding a book, smiling, and walked from a distance. She was wearing a knee-length school uniform and her skirt was slightly rippling. Her smile was pure and incomparable. It matched the blue sky and white clouds, the red brick school building, the straight road, and the road. The big trees, grass, and benches on both sides don't need any explanation. Everyone knows that this is a high school student at school.

"Crack! It's over!"

Many people cheered.

But Jin Han couldn't help frowning, turned his head and said to Li Qian who was standing aside: "She is too nervous, you can tell at a glance that she is tense!" While speaking, he couldn't help sighing.

As early as when he decided to use Xie Bing as the heroine, Jin Han knew it would not be a simple matter. Facts have proved that his judgment was correct——for the first shot, the opening is auspicious, he has tried his best to choose an extremely simple The scene came to be filmed, but Xie Bing's performance was still terrible.

It is conceivable that when faced with those "slightly difficult" scenes, some are easy to teach!

At this time, Li Qian just smiled and said: "It's her first time filming a TV series. There are so many people around, it's normal to be a little nervous, and it will get better slowly. You can call him more!"

Jin Han sighed, "It's up to you!"

After the first shot was finished, the staff of the crew moved quickly, and the crew ran over to coordinate with the cameraman and the four-person team of F4 to determine the location for the next shot.

Here, Xie Bing ran over, with a shy and begging look on his face, like a kitten clapping his hands, and said to Li Qian and Wang Jingxue: "Please go quickly, don't watch me take pictures, I'm so nervous!"

Li Qian smiled when she heard the words, Wang Jingxue also smiled, and went to comfort her. Speaking of which, Wang Jingxue has filmed "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" anyway. Although there are only a few shots, she has more or less a little bit of experience.

Here, Han Shunzhang came back after answering the phone and gave Li Qian a wink. Li Qian walked over. The two of them were a few steps away from the filming location. Han Shunzhang said: "Porsche agreed to provide us with a sports car for filming, but not Agreed to give additional sponsorship, so it seems that we can only choose Volkswagen and Audi. TT, or the S8 they just released last year?"

Li Qian frowned when he heard the words, and said helplessly: "Porsche is really awesome!"

As we all know, urban film and television works have always been the easiest to attract sponsorship, because it is the easiest to implant, "Meteor Garden" is an urban romance drama, of course Li Qian will not miss the opportunity to attract sponsorship - you know , put it in another time and space around 2010, there were even a lot of film and television dramas that had already paid a lot of advertising fees and sponsorship fees before they were shot, and the filming hadn't even started yet. Just a single sponsorship contract had already cost earned it back.

The characters F4 in the play are all sunny and handsome rich second-generation aristocrats. Besides school uniforms, they all must wear famous brands. This is to attract sponsorship. The heroine can also find a civilian brand to attract sponsorship. In the play, they will use The mobile phone you get can be used for sponsorship, and of course the car can also be used!

It’s just a pity, as soon as people heard that Minghu Culture was casting for the film, they immediately expressed their interest, but when they heard that the director was not Li Qian, their interest immediately lost half, and then they heard that most of the actors in the play were newcomers. The lack of interest is even more lacking-fortunately, Xie Bing is popular enough. Although Zhu Yukun, the leading male actor, has not yet graduated, he can be regarded as a well-known niche actor in China in recent years. Liao Min was able to speak eloquently, and he patted his chest to ensure that not only was Li Qian's script, but that Li Qian would oversee the whole process, and finally persuaded many companies to agree to give certain support and sponsorship.

However, the strength is very small.

In terms of clothing, a luxury brand plus a civilian brand, a luxury brand, and mobile phone Nokia, they only talk about free support for props and a small amount of sponsorship, while for cars, Porsche, which Li Qian likes most, is only willing to provide A sports car was used for filming. Apart from that, they were unwilling to give even a penny of sponsorship fees. Volkswagen was willing to give some money, but they were bitten to death and only gave 600,000 yuan, and they were unwilling to add any more.

It's just that people made it very clear, especially the person in charge of Porsche China said that if Li Qian and Wang Jinglu were to play the leading roles, the other party would not only provide a car for free, but also be willing to sponsor 2 million yuan! If it was directed by Li Qian and Wang Jinglu played the heroine, he would still give 1 million!

So, that's it.

The planned production cost of this film is 10 million Chinese yuan, and it has already won about 1.8 million sponsorships. If it is finally chosen to shoot with Audi sports cars, it will be 2.4 million sponsorships.

In the current market environment, the effect is not bad, at least Han Shunzhang thinks it is already good, but Li Qian is a little dissatisfied - he has seen the madness of later generations.

At this time, after thinking about it, he finally shook his head and said, "The grade of Audi is still a little lower. The Du family is still very powerful in TV dramas. The young master of their family only drives a TT or S8... Well, well, for the sake of money... what about Mercedes?"

Han Shunzhang smiled, "It still means that, if you are the director..."

Li Qian waved his hand, "Stop it, let's use Audi, S8! You can talk about these things to Lao Jin to stimulate him! By the way, doesn't Audi have an R8?"

"Ah? I don't know much about cars. I just heard from their general manager that the S8 is the most high-end Audi sports car in the current series. Then... can I make a phone call?"

Li Qian thought for a while, then shook his head, "Forget it, S8 will be S8!" Because he couldn't remember exactly when the R8 concept car was released in another time and space, and when it was officially launched. If Han Shunzhang called to ask, the other party might be shocked——huh? How do you know about the concept car we are still developing in secret?

…………

After discussing with Han Shunzhang about sponsorship for a while, Li Qian came back. At this time, the crew was filming a scene with four boys. Except for the wind and the actor's lines, everyone held their breath. Xie Bing saw When he came over, even though it was difficult to do intimate actions in front of so many people, he still couldn't help looking over pitifully, clasped his hands together, and looked begging.

Li Qian had no choice but to raise her hands in surrender, and she smiled slightly.

Halfway through this shot, Jin Han couldn't help shouting "Ka!", got up and went over to talk to the four big boys, Li Qian looked over there and smiled, thinking, Jin Han has always been demanding His style, coupled with such a group of amazing and extremely rich raw melon eggs, it seems that he has to prepare a few catties of gunpowder in advance.

At this time, Wang Jingxue came over and asked in a low voice, "How about, let's go?"

Li Qian turned his head and met Xie Bing's pitiful little eyes again, so he nodded, "Okay, okay, let's go, I'll go now, I won't watch your performance!"

Wang Jingxue smiled.

This drama was originally planned to be handed over to Jin Han. With Han Shunzhang assisting, Li Qian had nothing to worry about. Xie Bing came with the crew a few days in advance, and he and Wang Jingxue arrived only yesterday afternoon. He was just planning to stay here for two more days to accompany Xie Bing to participate in the opening ceremony, and to cheer up the crew. Now that she was rushing out, Li Qian decisively decided to return to Shuntian Mansion in advance. Already—there are many things waiting for him over there.

After explaining a few more words to Han Shunzhang, Li Qian quickly bid farewell to Jin Han, got in the car rented by the crew, and prepared to go straight to the airport. : "Sister Jingxue, are you not leaving?"

Wang Jingxue smiled rarely, and said: "Xiaobing is not afraid of me, but I will stay with her for two days before going back."

Li Qian nodded, shrugged, and turned around to get in the car.

But at this time, Wang Jingxue suddenly said: "How about... I'm fine if I'm free, I'll take you to the airport? Just come back by car."

Li Qian was slightly surprised, but still nodded quickly with a smile, "That's right, that's..."

Without waiting for him to say anything, Xie Bing nodded, with a look of approval, and smiled at Wang Jingxue: "It's just right for you to see it off. You are not here. I can also get used to the feeling of filming first."

Li Qian shrugged, said nothing, and got into the car first.

…………

The rented business car was running smoothly. The driver, Lao Zhao, was brought over from Shuntian Mansion. He was also an old employee of Minghu Culture. He would not be excited because there were two big stars in the car. He drove steadily all the way. Driving in the car, without squinting.

Wang Jingxue sat side by side with Li Qian on the second row of independent seats. She didn't speak for a long time. She didn't speak until the car was about to leave the urban area, and said, "I suddenly remembered when we were filming the Three Kingdoms together. At that time, I would not know anything."

Li Qian smiled, "Have you become addicted to drama?"

Wang Jingxue's mood today should be rare. Hearing this, he smiled again and said, "No way!" After a pause, he continued, "Actually, I'm quite afraid of the camera, I don't like filming!"

Li Qian nodded.

Many laymen may not believe it, perhaps in this place in the entertainment industry, there are really many people who really like the excitement and prosperity, like the feeling of spotlights hitting their bodies and cameras pointing at themselves, but there is really Many people especially dislike being in the spotlight and stepping in front of the camera.

Even, there are not many such people!

Of course, enjoy this more. For example, He Runqing, she said herself, she enjoys the spotlight very much, and Zhou Mo, she is actually very low-key, even very low-key, but she also personally told Li Qian that if one day she has the opportunity, she would like to I want to try to be an actor.

Whether you enjoy the feeling of being sought after by others, or you are afraid of the camera, in fact, it is just a matter of personal character, and has nothing to do with morality.

…………

Seeing that it was almost time to arrive at the airport, Wang Jingxue began to turn her eyes slightly from time to time to glance at Li Qian.

Actually... quite helpless.

She really wanted to talk more with Li Qian, even if it was about the weather or something, but she seemed to be born with an aura of coldness, as long as she was around, no matter how enthusiastic the atmosphere was, the atmosphere would slowly cool off. What's more, there are only two people - she knows what she wants to say, but she just doesn't know what to say!

Then, the airport arrived.

The driver, Lao Zhao, stabilized the car, pressed the electric sliding door, and then got out of the car himself. Although Li Qian had no luggage, he still asked, "Mr. Li, wait a moment, I'll go and park the car. Let's buy you a plane ticket!"

Li Qian waved his hand and said, "No need, you go back directly! I can just buy the ticket myself!" He waved at Wang Jingxue who was about to get off the car, "Go back!"

Wang Jingxue was a little stunned.

Old Zhao seemed to notice something, so he didn't say much at this time, just nodded to Li Qian, walked back quickly, opened the door and got into the car, continuing to keep his eyes fixed.

In fact, as one of the first few drivers in the company, he has driven almost all the singers and executives in the company over the years, and his ears are full of various chats Records, those who don't look at it, have seen countless ambiguous eyes and hesitation.

Even, he knows much more than many people himself.

Wang Jingxue got out of the car, still wanting to speak.

After a while, she raised her head, looked at Li Qian, and said, "Then, you wait for me for a few days, and I will accompany Xiaobing. When we go back, we will finish the recording." Unspeakable annoyance, what kind of work are we talking about at this time! But, apart from this, she hardly knew what to say.

Li Qian smiled and nodded when he heard this, and said, "Okay, you are still three songs short, and she is one song short, soon! Don't worry!"

Wang Jingxue pursed her lips, and wanted to say something, but in the end she just smiled, "Give me when you get off the plane...you can also send a text message to Xiaobing."

Li Qian nodded, "OK."

…………

Li Qian, wearing sunglasses, entered the airport alone, without attracting any onlookers or sensation.

It wasn't until his figure completely merged into the crowd that he couldn't see the shadow anymore, Wang Jingxue returned to the car with some reluctance and remorse, sighed, and said, "Brother Zhao, let's go!"

"okay!"

Lao Zhao agreed, quickly started the car, and drove out of the airport along the traffic flow.

The car was driving on the high speed, and it was very stable. Old Zhao glanced at the interior rearview mirror inadvertently, saw Wang Jingxue was in a daze, hesitated several times, and finally couldn't help but said: "Miss Jingxue, your sister I have ridden in my car several times, she is a very nice person, she looks like a big lady! It’s not that I praised your sister in front of you, but I really have to say, Mr. Li has a special eye for people. Accurate! If your sister looks like a big woman in this way, can Miss Liao, Miss Zhou and Miss Xie be accommodated?"

Wang Jingxue raised her head and forced a smile. She was a little surprised just now: Why did this old Zhao, who is usually silent, suddenly talk about this? But soon, she showed a thoughtful look.

But when I looked at it again, Old Zhao was already concentrating on driving again. It seemed that he had just babbled a few words in his sleep. Now that he woke up, he had no intention of speaking again.
