After a simple discussion, Ding Sheng finally decided to start by filming two girls watching TV in the living room.
Fully showcasing their beauty and cuteness.
Then let Qi Hao enter the shot, first feeding Gao Yuanyuan a stick of spicy gluten.
Gao Yuanyuan didn't take her eyes off the TV screen, simply relying on her senses, she exclaimed:
"Wow, it's Little Flying Stick spicy gluten!"
Then An Feng protested, shouting that she wanted some too.
Qi Hao, having no choice, also fed her a stick of spicy gluten.
In the script, the relationship between the characters assumes Qi Hao and Gao Yuanyuan are a couple. As for whether the big sister An Feng is a sister or sister-in-law, Ding Sheng is asking for opinions from others.
"How about letting Miss An try calling both titles?"
The factory director, as the client side, indeed has the qualification to give opinions.
An Feng and Gao Yuanyuan are both actresses he likes, today is truly the most dreamy time of his life.
An Feng's mother, Ms. Liu, didn't say anything.
Firstly, because the client paid two million, which is definitely not a small amount.
Secondly, she rarely interferes in her daughter's work, and even if she sees her daughter suffering during filming, no matter how much she feels for her, she wouldn't disrupt the director's filming rhythm, unless her daughter faced unfair treatment.
Whether calling "brother" or "brother-in-law" is a serious matter.
"Ahem," An Feng brewed her emotions and spoke affectedly, "Brother~"
"Pfft~" Gao Yuanyuan couldn't help it.
Qi Hao also rubbed his arm, but seeing An Feng is only twenty years old, he decided not to laugh at her.
"Oh, you guys... you guys are really annoying." An Feng was greatly embarrassed, she admitted she exaggerated a bit, but it shouldn't be that funny, right?
"Actually, it's quite nice, such a cute voice, really envy you~" Gao Yuanyuan quickly remedied.
In this circle, one wrong word could easily offend people.
"I think it sounds great too!" Ding Sheng instead thought the effect was especially good.
An Feng rarely made such a sound, if it could be presented in the commercial, it would definitely bring great traffic to the ad.
"Then I'll try calling brother-in-law~" An Feng was easily coaxed.
"I suddenly got an inspiration," Ding Sheng paused her, saying, "Actually, we can shoot it the other way around, let Qi Hao watch TV in the living room—yes, watching a game, Gao Yuanyuan and An Feng come playfully, seeing Qi Hao so focused, they decide to find a way to distract him from watching the game..."
"Wouldn't it be too R-rated?" The factory director was quite anxious.
He really wanted to see Gao Yuanyuan and An Feng seduce Qi Hao, making him unable to focus on the game, but if it can't be aired after shooting, wouldn't it need to be re-shot?
Others were surprised looking at him.
This client has quite a dirty mind.
"They are all top celebrities, impossible to shoot that kind of thing. Let's just shoot something sweet and fresh."
Ding Sheng quickly whispered a few words in the client's ear.
Though the shooting result is decided by him and the actors, the client's opinion cannot be ignored.
"Right, right!" The client nodded repeatedly.
Wondering if the big boss plans to step into the entertainment circle, otherwise, he could invest and let the three of them shoot a film together.
"Gao Yuanyuan can feed a piece of cake to Qi Hao, and when Qi Hao eats, his eyes shouldn't leave the TV, Gao Yuanyuan shows annoyance, then An Feng comes over with spicy gluten, has to shout, Little Flying Stick is here, using the same tone as before, what do you guys think?"
"Wouldn't that get captured and used as a phone ringtone?" Gao Yuanyuan mused.
She is known as the nation's goddess and wife, belonging to the pure and generous type, but she also knows how much everyone loves this kind of high-face-value, cute big sister.
Not only guys love it, girls have no resistance to cute things either.
If An Feng used that voice again, she'd want to hug An Feng and cuddle her.
"I'm actually fine with it."
Whether feeding spicy gluten to others or having others feed it to her, as long as the commercial shoot is finished.
"Then let's start setting up, actors change clothes and do makeup!"
Ding Sheng saw there were no objections from either side, so he urged them to finish filming quickly.
The filming location was already set up, only needing slight modifications, while the main work was in makeup.
To present the best state on screen, makeup is essential.
This is also a respect for the profession from the actors.
Even Qi Hao had to wear makeup.
An Feng and Gao Yuanyuan have their own makeup artists, while Qi Hao used the studio's makeup artist.
After everyone was ready, they rehearsed twice to familiarize themselves with the plot.
Then, Qi Hao sat on the living room sofa.
The director helped pose him to show the most handsome angle.
Even the client was praising, amazed at how someone could look so handsome watching a game.
Moreover, Qi Hao's state wasn't tense.
He was in a state both good-looking and relaxed.
The commercial doesn't actually require much acting skill, but Qi Hao's facial expression in the camera still showed his concern for the game.
Only without shouting.
However, the camera didn't start with Qi Hao, but with Gao Yuanyuan and An Feng playfully coming down the stairs.
Their clothes were both homey and able to highlight their slim waist and long legs.
Moreover, it was shooting the scene from the stairs, this angle made the beauty even more breathtaking.
"Action~"
Before the two could come down, the director shouted to stop.
Although Ding Sheng is just a commercial director, he has always maintained high standards for the camera.
"You two, you're not intimate enough. Show the kind of closeness you have with your best friend. Also... tone down the smile a bit."
The second shoot was much better.
Gao Yuanyuan and An Feng may not belong to the top tier of the acting faction, but they definitely don't lack talent in performance. At least they can portray their characters without causing the audience to break immersion.
This seems not difficult, yet many actors and stars haven't met this requirement.
After they were done, the camera shifted to Qi Hao.
Qi Hao immediately got into shooting mode.
His acting skills are much better than An Feng and Gao Yuanyuan's, smoothly handling every scene from start to finish.
Gao Yuanyuan smiled and exchanged a glance with An Feng. She was the first to take a small piece of cake from the box on the table, then adjusted her clothes and walked past Qi Hao, looking both innocent and seductive.
After circling to the other side, she leaned on his shoulder and fed him the pastry.
The process was filled with plenty of feminine allure.
The ad's concept was that seduction has no competitive edge over Little Flying Stick.
Even though Qi Hao ate the pastry, his attention didn't stray from the ball game at all.
Next up was An Feng's turn.
Her attire was even more innocent-looking, and she ran over with a stick of spicy strip, shouting:
Little Flying Stick is here!
Indeed, she was cutely unstoppable.
Nevertheless, even though she was adorable to the point of being irresistible, Qi Hao remained fully focused on watching the game.
He was even excited and clapped when a goal was scored.
If seductive and cute didn't work, the only option left was Little Flying Stick.
An Feng fed the spicy strip to Qi Hao.
Qi Hao instinctively ate it, suddenly opened his eyes wide, and shouted, feigning anger:
"You guys stole my Little Flying Stick spicy strip again!"
"OK, that's great!" Ding Sheng clapped and praised, all three of them performed well.
Actors are indeed actors, much easier than shooting with amateurs.
After filming the Little Flying Stick spicy strip commercial, the crew treated everyone to a meal, and after eating, the group went to a KTV to sing.
An Feng's mother knew these were normal entertainment industry social events, and the client was well-behaved, so she did not object.
Besides, she followed the whole time, so there was no chance of anything going wrong.
After everything was completely finished, Qi Hao chose to confirm, and soon received a system notification of task completion.
[Task 2 completed, reward: Stamina +10, script "Married the Right Man (Xi Juan's Original)"]
[Completed task, gain training opportunity]
[Choose one NPC for training: Gao Yuanyuan/An Feng/Liu Dehua]
[Now releasing a new task]
[Task 3: Congratulations on completing the tasks of acting in a speaking role in a bit part and shooting a small commercial. You must be experiencing some minor success by now, right? Now take a bold step forward: step onto any stage, hold your guitar, and sing a song. Task difficulty: 2 stars, time limit: 7 days]
[Task completion reward: Singing skill +10, song "Faith"]
[Task failure penalty: Receive three electric shocks]
You must have achieved some minor success, right?
Right... right... I swear I feel like slapping myself.
Qi Hao was genuinely torn over this evaluation. He is one of the four top rising stars and just won Best Actor, with a film co-starring Li Lianjie and Liu Dehua about to be released.
To be told he has just some minor success?
But, he is also utterly resigned to the idiosyncrasies of this system.
Fortunately, although the system is ridiculous, the training space it comes with is very convenient to use, and the bonuses of acting skill +10, stamina +10 can definitely be felt as improving.
This gives Qi Hao, whose personal development was at a bottleneck, hope for a breakthrough.
Don't even mention the current top four rising stars.
Even past ones, like Lu Yi, Li Yapeng, Chen Kun, are all stuck at a bottleneck.
Taking even one step forward might help you leave other rising stars behind.
Either advance to Celestial King Star, or advance to Acting Faction.
If you stay stuck, you have to worry about being replaced by the new emerging stars.
The only headache is that each of these system tasks is more nonsensical than the last.
Going busking with a guitar?
No matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem like something a normal person would do.
Qi Hao is an actor, he's never sung on stage before.
He's been all about honing his acting skills, unlike Huang Xiaoming or Lu Yi, who also release albums.
Qi Hao despises precisely this kind of unclear primary and secondary development strategy.
His Best Actor win, apart from some luck, is also tied to his focused research.
To think he is now forced by the system to do something he used to look down upon the most.
Looks like everyone will eventually become what they once disliked.
As for the reward, a singing skill +10 is undoubtedly valuable, allowing Qi Hao's KTV-level singing to rise a notch.
"Faith", huh...
Let's just say, if this system hadn't taken ten years to load, and was able to issue tasks and rewards back in 1997, with "That Man, That Mountain, That Dog", "Married the Right Man", and this highly popular song by Zhang Xinzhe, "Faith", it'd definitely be riding high in that era.
Self-proclaimed "Big Star" system, the system is not really exaggerating too much.
