The King of Advertising

Qiu Xu accompanied his parents to dinner, sent Lin Xi home, and walked into a cafe on Jianshe East Road at nearly ten in the evening.

Qiu Xu saw Liu Yue sitting in the deck at the southeast corner.

He came to sit down opposite Liu Yue, ordered a cup of black tea, and asked with a light smile: "Director Liu, is the contact with the actors going well?"

Liu Yue stirred the coffee in the cup, shook her head, and said bitterly, "Not ideal."

"In the past month, I personally visited seven actors with good abilities and reputations, sent scripts and invited them."

"It's just that, except for one, the other six either declined, or the request for cooperation was too high."

Qiu Xu comforted: "It's not that there is another person who accepted the invitation, this is still fruitful."

Liu Yue stared at Qiu Xu for a while, and said, "The actor who accepted the invitation is named Yi Siling."

"She told me bluntly that it was because of you that she accepted the invitation to join the crew."

Yi Siling?

Qiu Xu recalled for a moment, only to remember that she was Jin Dongxiao's girlfriend, and some abruptly said: "Her boyfriend owes me a favor. She should be paying back the favor for her boyfriend."

He then asked, "Director Liu, are you planning to openly recruit actors?"

Liu Yue shook her head again, and said, "I just want to understand these two days..."

She took a sip of coffee and slowly said, “I’m in such a hurry and tried my best to get in touch with the few famous actors. From the bottom of my heart, I’m not confident about myself and the script.”

"I am afraid, but also an escape."

After a pause, Liu Yue looked at Qiu Xu with piercing eyes, and said firmly: "Since this is my self-testimony, I should abandon external forces as much as possible."

"So, I decided..."

Liu Yue said word by word: "As far as actors are concerned, suitability and acting skills are the first priority, and their fame is no longer considered."

"The money saved is spent on props, daily shooting and post-production."

Qiu Xu also said: "Director Liu, this TV series focuses on you. As long as the production cost does not exceed the budget, I will strongly support your decision."

Liu Yue, who made the final decision, stretched her eyebrows a lot, and said with gratitude, "Mr. Qiu, thank you."

"Your strong support is also one of the important reasons why I dare to break the boat."

She sighed again: "Nowadays, the performance market is more polarized."

"An actor with a reputation and exposure has a constant film schedule."

"And most of the third- and fourth-line actors move around in order to get a weighty role."

"More unknown actors are asking for opportunities."

Liu Yue sighed lightly: "Don't hide Mr. Qiu, during this time, I have received no less than 20 or 30 copies of the actor's materials sent to me either through self-recommendations or through various relationships."

"Mr. Qiu, I prepared the main actors in the play, so I chose them from these people."

Qiu Xu reiterated: "As for the actor, you have to decide."

"Cui Fuxing."

Liu Yue mentioned the name first, and then continued: "I have seen his performance in the Haitong Electronics commercial. It is great."

"My team also told me that this person performed quite well during the filming process and had high demands on himself."

"His scenes are basically shot once or twice, and there are no bad habits."

"I want to... let him play the leading role..."

Seeing that Qiu Xu had no objection, Liu Yue went on to say: "About several heroines..."

"In addition to Yi Siling, I also recognize Mo Mo's acting skills. Given her age and appearance, I want her to play the young single mother in the play."

Qiu Xu nodded gently, indicating that he had no problem.

Just listen to the other party continuing: "Mr. Qiu, there is an important female character. I want you to come forward and invite someone."

"Which role? Who?" Qiu Xu was curious.

"The actor's sister, the real female number one, Shen Ling."

Qiu Xu asked puzzledly: "She? Director Liu, she is a singer, but she has no acting skills."

Liu Yue smiled and said, "Is there really no acting skills?"

"That unexpected fall, I have studied slow motion many times."

"She fell in a graceful posture."

"The facial expression after falling to the ground is controlled by the appropriate benefits."

Hearing this, Qiu Xu sighed inwardly.

This is what the wind has left, and the geese have left marks. There are no clues about everything that has been done.

"Also, Shen Ling became the first song of "The Moon Represents My Heart". This song is a scheduled theme song."

Liu Yue persuaded: "Shen Ling's charming image and the male protagonist and sister in my mind basically coincide."

"Mr. Qiu, you can persuade her to come and try."

"If the audition passes, I have a lot of confidence that her role will become a highlight in the play."

Qiu Xu pondered for a moment, and said, "Well, then, I will persuade, but there is no guarantee that she will agree to perform."

He thought about it again, and said: "Director Liu, there is not a twelve or three-year-old girl in the play. Leave this role for me!"

Liu Yue nodded and said: "Ok, no problem..."

The two discussed some things about the shooting location and advertising sponsorship, and they didn't leave the cafe until nearly twelve o'clock...

The next morning, Qiu Xu was awakened again.

Waking up one after another, he naturally got up full of breath.

Just facing the lady in front of him, Qiu Xu quickly sat up, laughed with him, and said, "Mom, you just came back yesterday, so why don't you sleep longer?"

"Are you still sleeping? You don't even check what time is it?"

Qiu Xu turned to look at the clock. It was almost half past eight.

At this time, he noticed that the weather outside was gloomy, and there seemed to be signs of snow.

Qiu Xu got up slowly while yawning, listening to his mother nagging while tidying up the room.

"Look at your house. There is dust everywhere. How many days have you not cleaned it properly?"

"Also, I found that there is no less oil at home."

"Have you and Xiao Ran not eaten a few meals at home?"

Qiu Xu smiled happily and said, "Most dinner is eaten at Aunt Hao's house."

Meng Ying gave a light hum, and then told: "Try not to eat in restaurants."

“Although the restaurant’s food is delicious, it contains a lot of spices and seasonings, which is not as healthy as home-made.”

"understood!"

Qiu Xu responded perfunctorily, and suddenly heard his mother ask mysteriously, "Son, Shen Ling won the championship this time as he wished."

"You said, she spent five million to buy you a crown rush strategy."

"But my dad and I watched the entire game and didn't notice anything special."

"Son, isn't that strategy useless?"

Qiu Xu smiled happily, and said with some contentment: "I've used it."

"If it's so simple to be seen by you and dad, is it worth five million?"

"But, your father and I have been staring at..."

Meng Yinghu paused, and asked uncertainly: "Son, did it happen when you fell?"

Qiu Xu nodded and said, "That's it."

"It was originally planned to be used at a critical moment, but Shen Ling felt that the quality of the song was not good, so he used it in advance."

Meng Ying nodded clearly, and said to herself that she couldn't believe it, "A wrestling suggestion is worth five million?"

After breakfast, Qiu Xu accidentally received a call from Lulu.

On the phone, the other party was surprised to say that she had just received a call from Legendary Pictures, informing her that she had passed the role of the female third in an urban fashion TV drama auditioned some time ago.

"Mr. Qiu, there is too much competition and no qualifications. I had no hope at all."

"I guess I guess, it's possible that the other party just let me pass because of your face..."

After hanging up Lulu's phone, Qiu Xu couldn't help but think of the upcoming meeting with Li Jeju.

This is to give first, then take, give a benefit first, so that it is convenient to discuss the next cooperation?
