Chapter 139 Shooting a promotional videoWhen Yang Hao was in the crew, Liu Shishi didn't think there was anything wrong. But during these two days, Yang Hao took leave to attend the celebration party of "The Richest Tomato", and Liu Shishi felt uncomfortable all over, and the spirit in her eyes was three points less than before. He also seemed listless during filming, with Lu Yang cutting out a scene more than a dozen times in a row. As soon as Yang Hao left, Liu Shishi's acting condition declined so obviously. Lu Yang probably knew the reason. Liu Shishi was too immersed in the role. But even though he knew the reason, he felt helpless and had no way to deal with the matter. He could only pray that Yang Hao would come back soon. When the crew had lunch at noon, Liu Shishi sat in the nanny car, looking at the exquisite food on the table, which tasted like chewing wax. "When do you think Yang Hao will come back?" Liu Shishi asked the assistant beside her in a low voice. "Senior Sister Shi, you have asked this question eight hundred times this morning." When the young assistant heard Liu Shishi ask this question again, he could only cover his forehead with his hands, looking helpless. The young assistant was tortured by Liu Shishi with the same question for two consecutive days. Yang Hao finally returned to the crew. Fortunately, Yang Hao came back early, otherwise the young assistant would have gone crazy. With Yang Hao's return, who has changed the most? Of course, it is Liu Shishi.
During the two days that Yang Hao was on leave, Lu Yang completely understood why some people called Liu Shishi "Blind Sister". It was really just a wrong name, not a wrong nickname. There was really no light in their eyes. When filming "The Blade of the Assassin 1", Lu Yang originally wanted to ask Liu Shishi to play Zhou Miaotong, but unfortunately because of Yang Hao, Da Mimi was chosen. Looking back now, if the order of the two heroines in "The Blade of the Assassin 1" and "The Blade of the Assassin 2" was switched, the filming effect would probably be better. Fortunately, Yang Hao has returned to the crew now. Liu Shishi's eyes are full of light again. The look she gives Yang Hao is full of passionate affection that cannot be melted. This kind of eye acting will make anyone who sees it say "stunning". Today's scenes went smoothly because Liu Shishi returned to her best form. At three o'clock in the afternoon, a scene ended. Lu Yang came to the center of the crew with a loud speaker and shouted: "We're done for today. Everyone, go to bed early tonight." The reason why we finished work so early today was, on the one hand, that the crew's filming went smoothly today and the scheduled scenes were shot ahead of schedule, but the bigger reason was because of the cooperation with Maoyan. Things are always unpredictable. Previously, Lu Yang had planned to release "Knife of the Assassin 1" during the summer vacation, but because Maoyan wanted to use "Knife of the Assassin 1" as the first shot for ticket subsidies, it also wanted to promote the Maoyan app and attract users to register. Maoyan requires "Knife of the Assassin 1" to be released on April 4st, while "Knife of the Assassin 1" will be scheduled to be released during the summer vacation. The crew finished work today, but actually only the actors can finish work. The other photographers, lighting technicians and other behind-the-scenes staff of the crew cannot finish work yet because they have to shoot a promotional video for "The Blade of the Assassin 1". When Liu Shishi heard the news that the crew had finished work, she sat on a small stool and did not move. According to past experience, Yang Hao would come to her side as soon as possible, but she waited and waited but there was no sign of Yang Hao, so Liu Shishi was a little depressed. It didn't take long for Liu Shishi to realize that something was wrong. The crew had clearly said they were wrapping up work, but looking at the behind-the-scenes staff, it seemed that they had no intention of leaving. Seeing how busy they are, it seems they are planning to shoot something. Liu Shishi was not the only one who noticed something unusual. Actors such as Lei Jiayin, Xin Zhilei, and Zhang Yi also noticed that the crew was acting unusually at the moment. Several people who were originally planning to leave the crew stopped at the same time and asked their assistants to inquire about the news. After a while, Liu Shishi, Lei Jiayin, Xin Zhilei, and Zhang Yi realized that the crew was planning to shoot a promotional video for "The Blade of the Assassin 1." Now everyone was interested. They all know that the drama they are currently starring in is "Knife of the Assassin 2", and they also know that there is "Knife of the Assassin 1" before it. But they only knew that "The Blade of the Assassin 1" was starring Yang Hao and Da Mimi, and they were not aware of the specific filming details. Now they suddenly have to shoot a promotional video for "The Blade of the Assassin 1", how could they not be curious. This concerns his own vital interests. If "Knife of the Assassin 1" becomes popular, "Knife of the Assassin 2" will be popular before it is even aired. Isn't the reason why they agreed to star in "Assassin's Blade 2" so readily because they think this drama has the potential to be a big hit? Who would be willing to leave now when the promotional video of "The Blade of the Assassin 1" is being filmed? They all want to see how the promotional video of "The Blade of the Assassin 1" is filmed. "Director, can we stay and watch the filming of the promotional video for "The Blade of the Assassin 1"? " Liu Shishi, Lei Jiayin, Xin Zhilei, and Zhang Yi all asked Lu Yang.
Hearing the questions from several leading actors, Lu Yang glanced at Liu Shishi, Lei Jiayin, Xin Zhilei, and Zhang Yi, and saw that they all had curious expressions on their faces. Lu Yang thought about it. "Knife of the Assassin 1" will be released in less than a month, and the promotion work will begin soon. It would be okay to let them watch the promotional video. These leading actors have a lot of fans on their social media accounts, which will also come in handy for subsequent promotion. "You can stay and watch, but remember not to take pictures and don't talk nonsense everywhere." Although Lu Yang agreed to the other party's request, he also did not forget to remind the main actors. "Director, we understand this," Lei Jiayin said as he handed his cell phone to the assistant beside him. Liu Shishi, Xin Zhilei and Zhang Yi saw what Lei Jiayin did and tried to do the same. The shooting of the promotional video for "The Blade of the Assassin 1" began, and the first thing to do was to clear the scene. In the end, only Liu Shishi, Lei Jiayin, Xin Zhilei, Zhang Yi, as well as directors Yang Hao and Lu Yang, as well as the lighting technician and photographer, were present at the scene. All other irrelevant personnel were asked to leave. When all the preliminary preparations were completed, the promotional video for "The Blade of the Assassin 1" officially began shooting. Then I saw Yang Hao facing the camera and starting his performance. "Brothers, sisters, family members, and fans, today, in order to give back to the fans, I have specially brought you discounted movie tickets for "The Blade of the Assassin" "One, two, three," Yang Hao said as he stacked three movie tickets on the table one by one. "Usually, the ticket price for a family to watch a movie is close to 40 yuan, and three movie tickets cost 120 yuan. Are you reluctant to spend this money?" "Today's family package includes three movie tickets. It's not 120 yuan, nor 50 yuan. Three movie tickets are only yuan and you can take them home. In total, one movie ticket is only 13 yuan." “I can buy three movie tickets for the price of one.” "If you have nothing to do in the evening, it's a good choice to buy three movie tickets with your family and children and watch "The Blade of the Assassin" "Yang Hao, what if you don't have a wife and children?" Lu Yang said at the side. (End of this chapter)
