Three days later, Monday, 8 am.Zhang Xiaohua held an early meeting in the company to prepare for the tasks of the day.
The company had two projects. One was to shoot the music videos with Yang Kun and the other was to record Ling Ming"s energy drink advertis.e.m.e.nts.
At the request of Zhang Xiaohua, the TSD Troupe and Ling Ming had began rehearsing two days before in order to prepare for shooting the advertis.e.m.e.nt.
Today, Zhou Yi brought over two film crews, all of which were currently in the conference room, waiting for Zhang Xiaohua to arrange the tasks.
"Big head, Emma, Xiaohai, Haozi, Jimmy and Jack, you guys are to work on making these four songs." Zhang Xiaohua took out the notation of the four songs written last night. They were distributed to the group.
"Now our company has always relied on Ming"er alone to support the company. It is time to help relieve her of this burden." Zhang Xiaohua glanced at Yuan Datong and said: "I will give the music department a week to complete these songs, I think this should be enough time?"
"Don"t worry, our music department can handle it. Within a week, we promise to complete the task!" As the music director, Yuan Datong, on behalf of the entire music department accepted the task.
Zhang Xiaohua nodded with satisfaction and turned to Zhou Yi: "Today I will be personally responsible for shooting Ming"ers advertis.e.m.e.nt. As for Yang Kun"s music video, you are responsible for it. I have laid out all the scenes, just follow the instructions. Let"s take a split action and work together to get all the work done."
After that, Zhang Xiaohua gave plans for the "Indifferent" music video to Zhou Yi, the plan was divided into several shots, several scenes and the location of the shoots were clearly laid out. The whole music video was quite simple, only two scenes, so even without Zhang Xiaohua"s on-site guidance, Zhou Yi and the film crew could easily film it.
Zhang Xiaohua was very pleased. Now that he had so many capable cadres, the company could flourish.
Zhang Xiaohua said: "Emma, help me to ask the TSD Troupe to meet me at the business plaza, also inform Ling Ming to get ready."
After speaking to Emma, Zhang Xiaohua told Xiong Zhuang: "Take people to the business plaza, and arrange security around it."
"Got it." Xiong Zhuang took the lead and then led the entire security department to the business plaza.
"Manager Xu, how did yesterday"s tasks go?" Zhang Xiaohua asked Xu Fengnian.
"I have already asked the leaders of the Cultural Affairs Bureau to lend us two fire trucks, he agreed, we can call for them when we need." Xu Fengnian reported back.
Zhang Xiaohua didn"t want to use state-owned resources, but the energy drink company was an international brand and he wished to build his reputation on the international level. He would probably cooperate with this company again in the future, this advertis.e.m.e.nt had to be filmed well. The scene they had envisioned required a lot of water, so pumps and sprinklers simply wouldn"t work in this situation.
In desperation, Zhang Xiaohua could only use the fire truck. But in return Zhang Xiaohua would help the fire station by donating a generous amount for their services.
"Okay everyone, let"s get busy. After we are finished, I will invite everyone out to dinner tonight."
With Zhang Xiaohua"s order, the entire conference room suddenly burst into movement, everyone left the company in a rush to complete their tasks.
"Uncle Xu, you can come with me. Let"s go to the business plaza." Zhang Xiaohua smiled at Xu Fengnian.
Zhang Xiaohua had slowly grown a sense of dependence on Xu Fengnian and the company had achieved great success through Xu Fengnian"s help.
Xu Fengnian smiled and nodded. After that, the two men led the film crew to leave the company. They talked and laughed along the way to the shooting location.
.....
An hour later, Zhou Yi led the film crew to an abandoned warehouse located in the suburbs, the environment was pretty good, surrounded by green leaves, birds and flowers, very quiet it was a good shooting venue.
However, compared to Ling Ming"s arrangements, the environment here was simply not worth mentioning and the whole music video was only a total of two scenes anyway.
Yang Kun thought that Zhang Xiaohua would give him a top-level music video, using the best scenes, the best dance troupe and the best equipment.
He didn"t want the music video shooting site to be an abandoned warehouse far away from the city. He didn"t even have dancers. Apart from the film crew staff, there were only two ordinary cameras and spotlights, even a makeup artist and stylist weren"t provided.
Looking at the simple environment Yang Kun suddenly sighed and asked Zhou Yi: "Why hasn"t Boss Zhang come yet?"
"Boss Zhang Da has gone to another shooting scene. It"s up to us to get it right here. You can rest a.s.sured, we are all professionals." Zhou Yi said with a smile.
"Pros my a.s.s!" Yang Kun couldn"t help saying in his head. He still asked quietly: "Who is Boss Zhang guiding?"
Yang Kun thought that Zhang Xiaohua would personally come and guide the shooting of the music video but it was clear that Zhang Xiaohua didn"t put this music video in his heart, which made Yang Kun feel uncomfortable!
"Ling Ming is shooting a advertis.e.m.e.nt for an energy drink company today and it needs a lot of arranging. At present, almost half of the company"s people are going to help."
Having said that, Zhou Yi patted Yang Kun"s shoulder and encouraged: "You can also cheer up. I believe that as long as you work hard, you will have the same attention as Ling Ming sooner or later. Boss Zhang only chooses true talents. Since he signed you, it means that you have a bright future, okay? Let"s get to work now!"
Although his heart was unwilling, Yang Kun was helpless, he rea.s.sured himself that once his own songs were released, his fame would definitely overshadow Ling Ming and he would become the pillar of the company.
Because Yang Kun thought that Zhang Xiaohua would arrange makeup artist and stylist for him today, he didn"t dress up and he still came wearing a dirty white s.h.i.+rt and jeans.
Fortunately, he brought an electric razor with him.
When he saw the film crew was ready, Yang Kun quickly took out the razor that he carried with him, he was about to shave quickly. Zhou Yi, seeing what he was about to do, hurriedly shouted: "Stop, don"t shave!"
Yang Kun was shocked and his movements stopped. He said: "Aren"t we gonna start shooting soon?"
Zhou Yi suddenly became serious and explained: "Boss Zhang said you don"t need to make any changes in clothing or image. What he wants is your natural vicissitudes, this image fits the mood of the song the best, so you don"t need to make any changes."
In Zhang Xiaohua"s view, Yang Kun"s image was already perfect. The deep and hoa.r.s.e voice and his vicissitudes of life were the most perfect combination. There was no need to change anything.
Since this was Zhang Xiaohua"s order, Yang Kun didn"t dare to confront him.
But if the beard couldn"t be shaved, at least his clothes should be changed?
"That"s fine, I will go to the car and change then."
"No need. Your clothes are good. Besides, we haven"t prepared clothes for you."
When Zhou Yi said this, Yang Kun almost cried.
He had been wearing these clothes for several days now.
I thought that Zhang Xiaohua would give him a few sets of clothing. He didn"t expect Zhang Xiaohua to not even spend money on clothes!
"I am so dirty, how can I shoot?" Yang Kun was crying with a face, a look of anger.
"Do not worry, this music video is in black and white, even if you climb out of the mud, you can"t see it." Zhou Yi explained with a laugh.
