Chapter 94 Two Enemies
Originally, both of them wanted to go to the director to change the script, but when they got up at the same time and saw each other at the same time, they both gave up this idea at the same time-why should I show weakness in front of you?
Sharapova sat down first, followed by Chen Yingxiong.

It's just that the expression on his face is a bit indignant.

It's no wonder—they were enemies before, and suddenly they want to play a couple together, thanks to the screenwriter who figured it out...

Could it be that the screenwriter came up with this idea after watching the entertainment gossip these days?

If that's the case...Chen Yingxiong might strangle him to death.

Both of them stubbornly refused to go to the director, unwilling to show weakness and bow their heads in front of each other.

The director took the initiative to come to the door.

He went in front of Sharapova first.No way, who made her the world's number one tennis actress, the highest-paid female athlete, and her fame?

Of course, Sharapova would not miss this opportunity to protest to the director: "Why do we play couples in this film?"

The director found this question quite strange.Is there anything wrong with playing a couple?The name of this film is "Couples", so what is it if it is not a couple?
"Can it be changed?" Sharapova secretly asked the director.

The director poured out bitter water with a bitter face: "This won't work, we have thought about this idea for a long time, and I have finished the script for the scenes. The shooting time is only one day, and it will be on TV in a week... If it is changed, Too late in time..."

Sharapova frowned.

She lowered her head and looked at the script again, not noticing a sly smile flashing across the corner of the director's mouth.

Of course, the director is the one who knows about the relationship between Sharapova and Chen Yingxiong. This matter has been hyped up by the media for a few days. Everyone knows about it. How could he not know about it?

The idea of ​​couples in this film was actually influenced by gossip news. The director felt that this was a perfect opportunity to spread the product brand.The two rumored men and women in the news get together to shoot an advertisement, how many news media will become volunteer propagandists for this advertisement? !

There is no better opportunity than this, and of course it is impossible for him to allow the two protagonists to change the script without authorization.

Seeing Sharapova looking down at the script, the director said to her: "You study slowly, I will talk to the other party..."

After speaking, he got up and walked towards Chen Yingxiong.

Chen Yingxiong was complaining to Dracula: "Isn't this too coincidental? A coincidence doesn't seem like a coincidence!"

Dracula could only shake his head: "It's really a coincidence..."

At this moment, the director came up. "Hi, hero."

They had already greeted the director before they came in, so there was no need to introduce themselves this time.

"Hi, Mr. Director. This notebook..." Chen Yingxiong picked up the notebook and handed it to the director.

The director lowered his head and pretended to flip through it, then returned it to Chen Yingxiong with a confused look on his face: "What's wrong with the book?"

"Playing a couple...uh." Chen Yingxiong didn't know how to explain it to the person in front of him. "Well, I haven't talked to a girlfriend before, I don't have any experience, I'm afraid I can't act like that..."

Dracula was drinking water next to him, and when he heard Chen Yingxiong's words, he almost spit out the water. It took him a long time to hold the water in his nose, but he choked and coughed in the end.

Chen Yingxiong turned his head and glared at the agent who didn't give him face at the critical moment.

The director also looked at the somewhat embarrassed Dracula.

"It's okay, just treat her as the woman you like... Never met a girlfriend, have you always had a dream lover? You can just do that..."

The director persuaded.

joke!Who doesn't know that your hero is the famous nightclub little prince in St. Petersburg?How could it be possible for you to fool me with such a poor excuse?
The essence of this advertisement is not in the script at all!And on your gossip!Take advantage!Take advantage!This is the most brilliant propaganda!
The director has always been proud of himself for being able to come up with such a brilliant way to promote the new product of Clear Shampoo, how could he allow two people to change the script?
As for whether Chen Yingxiong and Sharapova are really a couple, he doesn't really care.Anyway, there is this scandal.

But looking at it now... these two people are so nervous, are they really a couple?Otherwise, why are you so afraid of acting as a couple?Are you afraid that the real feelings will be revealed during the performance, and then those sharp-eyed people will find out the clues when the advertisement is broadcast?
The director doesn't care, he is not the guardian of these two people, although he is surprised that Sharapova and Chen Yingxiong are a couple due to the huge disparity in their status.But does this have anything to do with him?

After appeasing the two people, he turned and left, and began to communicate with his assistants to confirm how the preparations were going.

After Sharapova found that she could not change the original intention of the director, she could only immerse herself in the study of the script to see what was going on—up to now, the two of them just saw the title of "Couple Chapter" and started to shoot the case. As for They don't even know how to act as a couple.

The content of the advertisement is very simple, it is the small details of flirting between male and female friends.The woman shook her head in front of the man, her long hair fluttered, and the fragrance wafted in. The man looked intoxicated, and stretched out his hand to caress, but found that the hair was as smooth as silk, and it slipped through his fingers very easily. gone.He looked at his girlfriend in surprise, and the woman smiled back and said to him, "Today, I am using the clear and smooth series shampoo!"

Then the product introduction, that is the matter of computer animation.

At the end of the advertisement, it returns to the male and female couple. The woman is nestled in the arms of the man, and the man gently sniffs the woman's hair with the tip of his nose. Both of them look happy.

happy face...

Sharapova gritted her teeth.

Snuggling myself in the arms of that goddamn bastard... and making a happy face... I can't do it!
snuggle in my arms?
Chen Yingxiong frowned.

If I want to hold such an ugly monster and smell her hair, I won't do it!Who knows how many pungent and unpleasant perfumes she has sprinkled on!

Dracula looked at Chen Yingxiong with a look of anxiety and unwillingness, but he was leisurely drinking coffee beside him with his legs crossed.As if it wasn't his business at all - but it wasn't his business in the first place.As an agent, he has no control over the player's private life.

But they didn't have time to ask the director for advice. The assistant director and the production manager found Sharapova and Chen Yingxiong respectively and asked them to wash their hair.

"Shampoo?" Chen Yingxiong was a little surprised. "I just washed my hair before going out..."

He thought to himself that today is the day for commercial shooting, so of course he needs to have a good image, so he took a shower, washed his hair, and shaved off his beard.It looks youthful.

Sharapova, who was passing by him, couldn't help but sneered when she heard Chen Yingxiong's stupid question.She has already cooperated with Qingyang, and it is not the first time to shoot a shampoo commercial, so she naturally knows these procedures.

Since it's a shampoo advertisement, if you don't wash your hair to make it shiny and soft, how can you show the power of shampoo in front of the camera?Those celebrities show off their flowing hair in commercials, but they definitely don't usually look like this.They were all improvised on set.

Chen Yingxiong knew that he was ridiculed by Sharapova. He waited for Sharapova who laughed at him, but didn't say anything. He followed the drama manager to the hair washing place—the two happened to be sitting next to each other. .

Sharapova tilted her eyes and looked up at Chen Yingxiong, and Chen Yingxiong also turned his face away from Sharapova.

Seeing the emotions shown by these two people, the assistant director sighed in his heart: What kind of bad idea did the director come up with... Although your idea is good, but look at the emotions shown by these two people, how could they play a good couple? How do you feel?If they behaved like killing their father and enemy in the commercials, the devil would believe that they still have an ambiguous relationship!

It is very difficult for him now, because he is responsible for talking to the actors, but how can he tell these two stars who are like enemies, "You have to act like a couple"?
"That..." He planned to tell the two of them.

"I know, acting as a couple, I know!" Sharapova waved her hand impatiently, obviously not wanting to listen to the assistant director's words.

"I'm fine. Don't worry." Chen Yingxiong smiled.

Seeing the fake smile on his face, the assistant director murmured in his heart: It's no wonder you don't worry!

He's out of luck, so he can only hope that these two have some professionalism.

But he forgot that these two are professional athletes, not professional actors...

"Card!"

"Card!"

"Kaka!"

"Kakaka!"

"Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka!"

……

"Card……"

The director didn't know how many times he yelled, and this yell was weak - his voice was hoarse.

In front of the camera, neither Sharapova nor Chen Yingxiong can perform at their best. They don't look like a couple at all.Taking a shot [-] times is considered a small number, and the key shots are even more stuck.Either Sharapova's smile was too fake, or Chen Yingxiong had a bitter face.

The stumbling along the way made the entire film crew so angry that they dared not speak up, and finally came to the last scene - Sharapova snuggled in Chen Yingxiong's arms, Chen Yingxiong lowered his head and sniffed her hair, holding her hand Still holding a strand of hair, Chen Yingxiong made an affectionate gesture, while Sharapova raised her head and closed her eyes with a happy expression.

It's good now, no one can make the feeling the director wants.

The director turned his head to look at the painful camera, lighting and other staff members, and had to shake his head: "Take a break for 15 minutes!"

No one cheered, and many people simply sat on the ground.They thought it was a very relaxing and pleasant job, but they didn't expect it to be the most difficult hours they had ever experienced.It was estimated that if it goes well, it should be done in two hours. This is a conservative estimate. The problem lies with Chen Yingxiong, a rookie who has never acted before. Sharapova has already shot an unknown number of commercials. You know the road well, nothing to worry about.

Unexpectedly, Sharapova's condition is also very bad today, so the filming is so hard.

Chen Yingxiong and Sharapova went straight back to their respective areas and sat down to rest, ignoring each other, their faces even uglier than before the filming.

The director is confused now. If the two people wanted to revise the script before, he thought that the two people were trying to cover up their real relationship.Now the director doesn't think so.If they are really a couple, but show bitterness and hatred in front of everyone, it can only show that the acting skills of these two people are too good!It's a waste to shoot commercials, and you should definitely compete for the Oscar statuette.

Did the couple quarrel last night?Sex life is not harmonious?
The director shook his head and put aside these random thoughts, he felt that he still had to communicate with the two of them, otherwise the film would not be able to be shot, the task would not be completed, and the salary would be affected.

He got up and frowned as he looked at a male and female lead actor who was at the easternmost end of the studio and the other was at the westernmost end of the studio.

How can we talk like this?
He first went to Sharapova: "We should have a good talk, Maria." He said to Sharapova with a serious face.

Who is the biggest on set?Director Max!
Sharapova still understood this point, she nodded.

"Very well, follow me." The director waved his hand, signaling Sharapova to follow.

Seeing the director walking towards Chen Yingxiong, Sharapova hesitated for a moment, but followed him—absolutely must not show weakness in front of this kid!
Sharapova, who was born in the alternate days of winter and spring, has both the gentleness of spring and the stubbornness of winter. She is not willing to admit defeat easily, just like she does on the tennis court.

The director walked up to Chen Yingxiong: "If you still want to go home early, then let's talk alone."

Chen Yingxiong looked past the director and saw Sharapova walking over.Chen Yingxiong, who was also unwilling to admit defeat, did not want to show weakness in front of a woman, so he stood up: "No problem."

"Very well, let the three of us talk - I don't care what happens between the two of you..." The director pointed to Chen Yingxiong and Sharapova. "Now it's work! I hope you have a bit of professionalism! You are all professional players and have achieved success in your respective fields, so I don't need to tell you the truth?"

The director scowled.He was tossed about by these two people for an entire afternoon, even a clay bodhisattva still has a temper, let alone him?What's more, he also has to think about his team, so many people are angry, if he is not in the top, how will these people cooperate with him in the future?

In fact, both Chen Yingxiong and Sharapova knew that fighting like this would be bad for others and that it was a waste of time, but they just couldn't save face.

After saying this, the director got up and left.He also knows that these two are not ordinary people, they always have a bit of a temper, and they are trying to save face. I am afraid that it is not convenient for them to communicate with each other...

Although he really wanted to eavesdrop on the gossip between the two.

After the director left, the two still sat facing each other without saying a word.

Chen Yingxiong glanced at the camera pump, where there was only the background, the lights were much dimmed, and all the staff were resting.

Sharapova also tried to find somewhere to watch to distract herself.

But who told her that the place she was facing was a dark wall... nothing!

It's impossible for her to stare at the wall in a daze, right?
Her gaze naturally shifted to Chen Yingxiong.

The other party was staring at the studio obliquely behind her in a daze.

Looking at this man, she suddenly thought of the first time she met him, not in that bedroom, but in the bar.This was the first meeting between the two of them who had been neglected by her intentionally or unintentionally.

The negative emotions she had accumulated for a long time that day were so large that she could hardly breathe, and there was no one around her who could let her confide to her heart's content.

She chose to go to the bar to get drunk and use alcohol to relieve her worries.

There, she met Chen Yingxiong for the first time, holding a wine glass, looking lonely and planning to find a girl to spend the long night with him.

She could even remember their opening line, that... tasteless "lime".

It's really strange, she was so drunk that she forgot many things, she couldn't even remember how she got from the bar to the hero's apartment, but she still remembered these things clearly.

If it wasn't for the inexplicable quarrel, she would have a good impression of Chen Yingxiong, a cheerful and lively young man, and most importantly... At that time, when she was depressed, there was such a person carrying The wine glass appeared in front of her, and tried to make her happy.

What a good person, why did you end up in this one?

Sharapova stared blankly at Chen Yingxiong and thought.

Chen Yingxiong actually feels very uncomfortable now, because he has been staring at the studio for several minutes, and his neck is almost stiff-he can't turn back, he feels that Sharapova is staring at him.

What the hell is this woman doing...

Chen Yingxiong cursed in his heart.

If I want to turn back, I will definitely look at Sharapova - how embarrassing it is!

So he can only maintain this posture, pretending that he has been staring at the studio in a daze.The problem is that one minute of ecstasy can still pretend to be deep, but a few minutes of ecstasy is a burden...

How did he know that Sharapova was staring at Chen Yingxiong in a daze, because she was thinking of her first meeting with him?

As for the quarrel the next day, it was actually because of her—if she could pull back the quilt and look at herself, maybe there wouldn't be so many misunderstandings.

At that time, she was too impulsive and wrongly blamed the person in front of her...

And no matter how I say it, she is also No.1 in the world's women's tennis world, and she is still so childish, it really can't be justified...

Sharapova is not the kind of unreasonable person. In the final analysis, this matter was caused by her misunderstanding of Chen Yingxiong at the beginning.

She thought again of the scene when Chen Yingxiong blocked the bedroom door and angrily asked her to apologize that day.

I really owe him an apology...

Thinking of this, she couldn't help opening her mouth and calling out, "That..."

Chen Yingxiong glanced at her first.

"……sorry……"

Sharapova's voice was so soft that Chen Yingxiong couldn't hear it clearly for a while. He turned his head to look at her, a little puzzled.

"I mean... I'm sorry!" Sharapova said, now that she had said it all, she was desperate. "I misunderstood you, and I apologize to you."

Chen Yingxiong looked at Sharapova in surprise, he didn't expect that he would hear such a show of weakness from the mouth of this big-name star...

His original plan was that if Sharapova was hard with him to the end, then he would also be hard with her to let her know whether he was incompetent or not.

Who would have thought that the other party would be soft...

Chen Yingxiong is a bit soft rather than hard, if you are hard with him, he will be hard to the end, unless you can break him.If it is tough, Chen Yingxiong has many ways to defeat the opponent.But in the face of Sharapova who suddenly softened, he didn't know what to do.

Yes, he was helpless.

"Uh……"

Saying "I'm sorry", Sharapova's heart suddenly lightened, and she could look at the boy in front of her without any burden.The expression on his face changed very wonderfully in a very short period of time.Panic, surprise, bewilderment... and a little bit of shame!
God testifies, Sharapova really saw the shy expression on Chen Yingxiong's face!
When she accused him of being a hooligan and quarreled with him, he never felt guilty at all!But now, he was actually shy!
Sharapova suddenly felt that the boy in front of her was very interesting.

Chen Yingxiong realized that Sharapova was indeed apologizing to him!
All the other girls took the initiative to apologize. As a man, he shouldn't be too narrow-minded, right?
Besides, it was just a few quarrels, and the other party didn't really do anything to me...

So he tried his best to make the smile on his face look natural and said: "Forget it, I am also at fault for this matter... If my attitude can be better... But I am like this, sometimes I lose my temper , you are easily agitated...don't take it to heart. In addition, I said you, uh, you are..."

Sharapova knew what he was going to say, and quickly stopped him: "You don't have to repeat it again!"

Chen Yingxiong was amused by her anxious appearance, but didn't say the last words.

Seeing Chen Yingxiong smile, Sharapova felt that her behavior just now was a bit...that.So she laughed too, a little embarrassed.

Chen Yingxiong took the initiative to extend his hand to Sharapova: "Let's shake hands."

Sharapova took each other's hand.

This was actually her first conscious physical contact with the other party.That time in the bar, she drank too much and couldn't remember if she had any physical contact with Chen Yingxiong.

The same goes for Chen Yingxiong.

The palm he held gently was not soft, and even calloused, which must have been worn out by swinging a tennis racket for a long time.

Hiding in the shadows, the director finally smiled when he saw two people holding hands together.

Well, the real meat of the campaign is about to begin!

There is no need to wait for the ad to be launched. I have so many acquaintances in the media circle. Of course, those entertainment reporters will not know that Sharapova and Chen Yingxiong have collaborated to shoot a Qingyang commercial, right?

Then...hehe.

You don't need to spend too much on advertising, but you can achieve amazing results!

This is the real ad!

What is shooting a commercial?

It is the greatest advertisement that can involve the whole society, news media and fans to promote the product brand!
