Chapter 432 Global Propaganda Pioneer (Ch 432)

The next day, Qi Jia just went downstairs and saw a group of people gathered in the warehouse and chattering about something.

His heart moved, and he quickly walked up, shouting,

“What’s wrong? What happened?”

Seeing him coming, the staff consciously made way for him.

Qi Jia walked into the warehouse and immediately pretended to be surprised and said,

“Why are there so many broken glass jars? What are they filled with?”

The props teacher came up with an embarrassed look on his face and explained,

“It’s nothing, Teacher Qi Jia, just a dozen jars of fireflies were broken.

There are also some snacks and popsicles missing. I am checking. Maybe a staff member came to steal some of the props and accidentally broke them. “

Qi Jia glanced at the three heads standing outside the door, tiptoeing and sneaking around. He smiled secretly in his heart, pointed to the small ventilation window on the wall, and said,

“No need to check. It’s probably a wild cat that came in to steal food and accidentally broke it. Besides, there are so many props, it’s okay to eat some. Don’t say they stole it. We are all family.”

As soon as these words came out, the staff members watching nodded in agreement.

“That’s right, we’re all family, so what’s wrong with eating chicken feet?”

“Yes, yes, yes. We’re going to eat it after the filming anyway, so what’s the harm in eating it earlier?”

“It’s so lucky to be in the same crew with Teacher Qi Jia.”

“Teacher Qi Jia is such a nice person. I love him so much.”

…

Leaving the warehouse, seeing that there was no one around, the assistant quietly gave Qi Jia a thumbs up.

“Brother, when it comes to doing bad things and plotting, it has to be you!”

Zhou Ye put his hands behind his back, thinking of Qi Jia’s righteous tone just now.

Seeing everyone fooled around, I couldn’t help but laugh secretly, and gave a thumbs up and said,

“He’s very eloquent and can inspire people. Great!”

Little Orange was chewing a chicken claw that he had just taken out during the chaos. Upon hearing this, he took the claw out of his mouth, raised it towards Qi Jia, and said with a greasy mouth,

“High, really high, really high! Brother, you are smarter than Baldy Qiang.”

…Qi Jiayi had a black line on his forehead. He really wanted to record it and let them hear whether this was a compliment.

As the sun comes out, a new day of shooting begins again…

Meanwhile, around the world,

In the past few days, with the video of the press conference showing their affection going viral at home and abroad, the popularity of Qi Jia and Zhang Ruonan has skyrocketed both at home and abroad.

On the other hand, thanks to Cheng Long’s relationship, the global release date of the movie “Vanguard” has also been confirmed.

It was scheduled to be released on June 25th. The original publicity team was still promoting Cheng Long as the main selling point according to the usual practice.

I also asked Qi Jia and several other leading actors to help forward it.

But the effect cannot be said to be bad, it can only be said that it is not as good as before, and the appointment data from various places have been mediocre.

However, as Qi Jia’s popularity grew around the world, the publicity and promotion team began to think about it.

After discussing with his eldest brother, Cheng Long made the decision to change! All the materials were to be redone. This time, Qi Jia and him would be promoted as the main selling point!

Soon, promotional posters with Qi Jia and Cheng Long in the center position spread to every corner of the world.

The effect was immediate. Since Qi Jia was introduced as the lead actor, booking data from all over the world has skyrocketed.

In China,

When new promotional materials appeared online, netizens became excited.

In the past few years, as generations of action stars have aged, the market for action movies in the mainland has been declining year by year.

Even though Cheng Long is the lead actor, netizens are not willing to buy it.

But when people heard that Qi Jia was going to star in this film, it immediately became a hot topic online.

[The Vanguard is set to release worldwide, Qi Jia and Cheng Long will work together to bring back the glory of Hong Kong films]

Countless netizens and various movie marketing accounts began to predict and analyze the box office data of “The Vanguard”.

Some are optimistic, some are pessimistic, and some are indifferent.

As the discussion becomes more heated, the number of movie reservations is also increasing. On Tao Piaopiao alone, the number of people who want to watch the movie has exceeded 2 million.

On the set,

The afternoon sun was very strong and the temperature today reached 28 degrees. Fortunately, we were filming indoors in the afternoon and didn’t have to go outdoors.

Qi Jia was lying on a bamboo rocking chair, rocking while checking the hot searches on his phone.

He only has one scene in the afternoon and can rest after that.

Zhang Jiajia saw Qi Jiayou’s gesture from the reflection on the monitor screen, turned around and waved at him.

“What’s wrong, Director?” Qi Jia stood up, put on his slippers, walked to Zhang Jia’s house, and asked,

Zhang Jiajia lifted his bangs and said, “A good actor can become a director. An actor who doesn’t want to be a director is not a good actor. Sit next to me and take a look. When you become a director in the future, it will be useful to me.”

There seems to be only one word difference between actor and director, but the professional knowledge required is very different. To be a director, in addition to being able to write scripts, photographic composition, editing, etc.

You also need strong leadership and team coordination skills. Of course, this refers to serious directors. There are not so many requirements for non-serious directors like Madou Media.

Although Qi Jia has no intention of becoming a director for the time being, what Zhang Jiajia said is quite interesting.

So I nodded, moved a stool over, sat next to him, and listened with great interest to him talking about how to shoot.

Soon, the second scene started shooting in the afternoon.

The story of this scene is that Wang Yingying, the grandmother played by Arya, asks Cheng Shuang to buy her a tape recorder so that she can leave a few words for Shisan before she dies.

Cheng Shuang didn’t find a tape recorder, but only bought a recorder. She was about to read the instruction manual to her grandmother.

Grandma took out the award-winning composition of Thirteenth Primary School and wanted Cheng Shuang to read it to her, but someone was shopping downstairs, so Grandma went downstairs.

Cheng Shuang read the entire composition by herself and found that Shisan was writing about wanting to find his mother. After reading it, Cheng Shuang shed tears sadly.

In the camera, Arya and Zhou Ye, one is a veteran actor and the other is a young actor. Their lines and acting skills are very natural and smooth, without any sense of disobedience.

Soon, the shouts of villagers played by staff members were heard outside the camera. After Arya answered, she hurried downstairs, leaving Zhou Ye alone in the room.

As she recites her composition, the camera gradually switches from a panoramic shot to a medium shot, and then to a close-up.

Looking at Zhou Ye’s face full of movie-like feeling in the monitor, Qi Jia couldn’t help but sigh in his heart that some people are really chased by God and fed by God.

Zhou Ye’s face seems to be born for the big screen. It would be a shame if she didn’t act!

Just as he was admiring it, Zhang Jiajia suddenly shouted “click” for no reason.

Qi Jia was a little confused. He felt that this scene was shot well. Why did they call for a stop? Zhou Ye also looked over in confusion.

But Zhang Jiajia did not explain, but said to the lighting engineer,

“Pay attention to the lighting. When Cheng Shuang is reading her composition, use side light to shine on her.

When you get to the part of your heart where you read ‘So, my mother is just as gentle,’ turn down the lights, get it?”

“Okay, director,” the lighting engineer nodded.

After explaining everything, Zhang Jiajia said to Zhou Ye, “Xiao Ye, let’s fast forward to the part where they were reading the composition and do it again.”

“No problem, Director.” Zhou Ye gestured, raised the composition paper, cleared his throat, and began to get into the state.

Soon, the second time began.

Following Zhang Jiajia’s instructions, the lighting technician moved the fill light to Zhou Ye’s side, and the warm yellow light shone on her.

It makes her stand out more in the environment, with obvious levels of light and dark on her face, making Zhou Ye’s facial contours and expression changes clearer under the camera.

Qi Jia’s eyes lit up with surprise. He had never expected that just by changing the position of the light, the image quality would be so different before and after.

The plot soon came to the part that Zhang Jiajia said that touched his heart. As the lights changed,

Qi Jia was surprised again. Under the contrast of the lights, Zhou Ye’s lines and acting skills were infinitely magnified. Everyone could feel a sad emotion spreading in their hearts.

In the monitor, as a tear rolled down Zhou Ye’s face, Zhang Jiajia shouted with satisfaction,

“Okay! Click!”

“Great!” Qi Jia couldn’t help but applaud.

Zhang Jiajia looked at him with a smile and asked, “Tell me, what have you figured out?”

“Movies are also an art of using light.” Qi Jia thought for a moment and said,

Zhang Jiajia was a little surprised. He didn’t expect Qi Jia to actually see something. This kid has a good understanding.

He had an idea, put the intercom in Qi Jia’s hand, and said with a smile,

“Since you figured it out, why don’t you try directing the next scene yourself?”
