Chapter 216: Spreading in Only Three Ways
It took more than a month to shoot an advertisement of only a few minutes. Is this reasonable?

Whether it is reasonable or not is another matter, but Party A’s father felt very comfortable.

For a director of Bai Youlou's level to spend so much time on filming, it naturally means he is very dedicated.

If he really finished filming in just a few days, it would be very frustrating for the client.

Zhao Miya, who came once at the beginning, came again later and was surprised to find that Zhang Xiaorong, whose acting was terrible at the beginning, actually acted quite well later.
Don’t ask, the only thing you know is that the director is a good director.

Training by the crew during the day and in the hotel at night, even if Zhang Xiaorong was really a piece of rotten wood, with such a simple plot and Bai Youlou being so attentive, he could carve something beautiful out of her.

Zhang Xiaorong didn't actually have much to say about what she said, and she still looked confused.

After Zhao Mia asked her this question, she turned around and asked Bai Youlou for the specific reason.

The result was a question back: "Where do you think acting skills come from?"

When asking the question, Bai Youlou had a serious expression and spoke seriously, which for a moment made Zhang Xiaorong think that he was asking a serious question.

So she thought about it seriously, "Through study and hard work?"

Bai Youlou shook his head and said, "Wrong~"

"How did that come about?"

"Maybe it's because you're not an actor and you've never been on a crew." Bai Youlou thought about it and changed his words, "Except for my crew, I've never been on anyone else's crew. In fact, there's a consensus in the industry that acting is like AIDS."

Zhang Xiaorong: ???

What disease? !
She suspected that she was hallucinating.

Bai Youlou grinned and said, "It's AIDS."

".Why?"

“It spreads in only three ways.”

At this point, how could Zhang Xiaorong not know that she was being teased again.

If it were her old self, she would probably just look at Bai Youlou with a slightly reproachful look.

But now their relationship has taken off.
So her face turned red.

Yes, when the relationship is not so close, she doesn't blush much.

If an unrelated person said such dirty words in front of her, her expression probably wouldn't change.

But now
It turns red when touched, and it becomes itchy when it turns red.

It looks like a fresh and ripe fruit, and you can tell it's full of juice.

In fact, Bai Youlou didn't expect that she was so sensitive now. After discovering it, he naturally liked to tease her.

".I hate it so much."

"I'm not kidding, I'm telling the truth." Bai Youlou continued to act serious.

If it was An Luning, he might continue to be deceived, then be asked to explain, and then be teased again.

But Zhang Xiaorong wouldn't do that. She just quietly moved closer to him, stuck close to him, and smelled his scent.

It seems to mean: Stop teasing, it’s already there.

Bai Youlou understood immediately and put his arms around Zhang Xiaorong's waist, feeling like he was hugging a ball of cotton.

She is obviously not fat, but she looks plump.

No, it's not cotton, it should be sponge.

It is soft and elastic, and has a completely different touch after absorbing water.

Look at the time, it's getting late.
"Then do you want to discuss something about acting?"

This time, Zhang Xiaorong trembled, but replied: "Director Bai, you, please guide me well."

After stammering out these words, Bai Youlou couldn't see her face at all.

All that was in sight was the red chin and neck.

Discuss acting and chat about scripts late at night.

Bai Youlou's nonsense does make sense in some ways.

How can I show good acting skills?
You need opportunities to let everyone know that you have good acting skills, and only then can the director show your good acting skills to everyone.

With a pair of big scissors in hand, even the best actor can be cut into a fool.

How does that opportunity come?
Of course there is a relationship, or there is a relationship~
Therefore, Bai Youlou was indeed "training" Zhang Xiaorong's acting skills.

This move is not his unique skill, there are so many people who know it!
The pearl is covered in dust, and only when it is enlightened by a "master" can it shine again.

After the filming of the commercial was completed, Bai Youlou was busy with post-production for more than a month.

Finally, I felt that the time was enough, so I handed over the finished film to the client.

"Thank you, Director Bai."

Seeing Bai Youlou looking a little tired and with dark circles under his eyes, the client's father confirmed that the money was worth it.

The cooperation between the two sides has basically come to an end here.

Of course, it’s just a collaboration with Bai Youlou.

Zhang Xiaorong also has to cooperate with a lot of work, such as the other party's new mobile phone launch conference, which requires her to be the spokesperson.

"That's what I do, how can it be considered hard work~"

Bai Youlou said something that was not quite right.

In fact, he did work very hard.

After working for a week to finish this thing, he went to work on "Dying to Survive" and Zhang Xiaorong.

What does it mean to be addicted to something after having tasted its sweetness? What does it mean to be clingy?

The first lesson that Teacher Zhang taught Xiaobai in bed was: Don’t judge a book by its cover.

Although she is gentle, Bai Youlou has suffered a lot due to the excellent physical strength and flexibility she has acquired from years of dancing.

She wouldn't act like some older women, acting as fierce and ferocious as a wolf. Okay, just name Liu Manli.

But Zhang Xiaorong would gently give Bai Youlou various hints and instructions.

It's even harder to refuse.
Fortunately, there is still strong control a few days a month to save lives!

Bai Youlou was so damn lucky that women all had this thing.

Some people think this thing is unnecessary and a bit of a letdown. This is typical because they have never encountered a good one, or they haven't seen it often enough.

At this moment, Bai Youlou felt as if someone was pinching his kidneys.

Fortunately, Zhang Xiaorong also has to go to work.

Full of energy and looking perfect!
Before leaving, she even helped Bai Youlou clean up.

Bai Youlou lay on the sofa with a dull look in his eyes, as if he was daydreaming.

"Sister Xiaorong, you look so good. It feels like your skin is in better condition than before!"

The assistant chuckled and gave a hint.

How could she not know how Zhang Xiaorong and Bai Youlou have been obsessed with each other recently?

And she was the one who bought the condoms several times.
The speed of consumption shocked the young assistant. Mr. Bai is too fierce!

After hearing what her assistant said, Zhang Xiaorong ignored it.

For a moment, the assistant thought that his joke had gone too far and made Zhang Xiaorong angry.

The result was that after turning a corner, her body tilted and she almost fell to the ground.

"Little Sister Rong!"

"My legs are numb." Zhang Xiaorong bit her lips and finally couldn't hold on any longer.

Not only her legs were numb, her hips were aching, and her whole body was uncomfortable. Bai Youlou felt like his waist was being pinched, and Zhang Xiaorong also felt like she was falling apart.

This was not a one-sided massacre, but a fierce battle in which both sides were evenly matched, and even Zhang Xiaorong was beaten back step by step.

It's just that she didn't show it, she is very resilient.

He breathed a sigh of relief only after his assistant helped him sit in the car.

"sister"

"It's okay~" Zhang Xiaorong pretended to be relaxed and just glanced out the window, looking at Bai Youlou's office, which was also the direction of her home.

I hummed a few times in my heart.

If that's the case, I don't believe he can find another girl!
She's right!

Can't find any.

Just now, Jiang Yuanchu came to ask Bai Youlou to go to his room to take medicine, but he said he had something to do.

Liu Manli asked him to have a drink with her, and Bai Youlou said that he wanted to edit a movie.

Even when host Xiao Liu came to see him secretly once, Bai Youlou behaved like a gentleman, making host Xiao Liu mistakenly think that his aunt had said something and he almost shed tears.

In the end, Bai Youlou had no choice but to look for a man.
Ahem, visiting the set!
The crew of "Old Boy".

This micro-film is considered a new project of the company, directed by Wu Muqun, starring Long Ziqiang and Zhen Dongjun.

Bai Youlou named their group the Stick Brothers~
The filming of this micro-film has come to an end. When Bai Youlou went there, he saw Long Ziqiang and Zhen Dongjun hugging each other and crying.

Really crying and holding my head.

When making a movie, it's normal to cry or laugh when the emotions are right.

When filming "Dying to Survive", the tears really flowed. Both human and ghost cried, and it even affected the filming of the movie at one point.

The micro-film "Old Boy" can also have the same effect.

When Long Ziqiang sang this song in the finals of "The Voice of China", many audience members couldn't hold their breath.

Shooting a movie is naturally more concrete.

However, Long Ziqiang and Zhen Dongjun's crying was a bit exaggerated.
Maybe it’s because the person who came with Bai Youlou is the person in charge of their online platform.

That is the client who bought this micro-film.

Since micro-movies cannot be shown in theaters, one of the best ways to monetize them is to sell them to online platforms.

So Bai Youlou was given the title of producer and screenwriter for this movie, but in fact this was his first time on the crew.

You really have to put your name on it.

Although this micro-film was intended to allow Wu Muqun to practice and test his abilities, Bai Youlou was actually not prepared to spend any money to gain publicity.

First of all, the production cost is very low, the pay of Long Ziqiang and Zhen Dongjun is not high, and none of the other actors are well-known.

Secondly, after adding the name of Bai Youlou, the effect in attracting investment and selling films was immediate.

Lao Zhou did some calculations and realized that it would be easy to make a few million from this thing.

“The theme of dreams will never go out of style!”

"Director Bai is right! Good works can really move people!" the person in charge of the video website exclaimed.

If a plot can move even the producers to tears, it must be easy to make the audience cry!

Old Zhou was trying to hold back his laughter.

Life is like a play.
Long Ziqiang and Zhen Dongjun acted well in the play and they also acted badly outside of the play.

Of course, it’s not completely acting, it’s half true and half false.

It was true that the performance was a bit overwhelming, but it wasn't as bad as crying.
But now it was Lao Zhou's turn to negotiate terms with others. Should the film be sold to multiple companies or just one? He would have to negotiate the final price.

Bai Youlou's appearance was just to give him a reason to raise the price.

The "white content" of this film can determine how much the premium is.

Even though Bai Youlou's face never appeared in the movie, he is everywhere.

Even when other websites release this micro-film, Bai Youlou will also be the main promotional object.

This is also an unspoken rule.
-
"Brother Lou, we've negotiated the price. After doing the math, we can't expect to make much from this film, maybe around 20 million."

Hearing what Lao Zhou said, the other people at the table almost burst out laughing, "More than 20 million is not enough?!"

"Damn, which movie of Brother Lou only made this much money?" Old Zhou said righteously.

Although this is a micro-film, it took almost two months to shoot.

In his opinion, he would definitely make more than this by making a movie for Bai Youlou in the past two months.

The unit is still tens of millions?

Lao Zhou said that the profits from the movies he is currently handling have to be calculated in billions!

Even for the movie Before Sunrise, the box office was not very high, but after it won an award in Berlin, the copyright sold like hot cakes, and the box office in other countries is also not to be underestimated.

Rounding it off, it's a profit of 100 million.
Long Ziqiang criticized: "Old Zhou, your vision has been spoiled by Brother Lou. I have never heard of any company that can make money on every movie. Most of them lose money!"

Zhen Dongjun nodded vigorously. When he took on the role, he actually didn't take it too seriously.

I feel like this is a film for little brother Takeki Gun to practice his skills.

Who would have thought that I could earn so much?

For many serious cinema movies that have invested tens of millions of dollars, it is considered quite good if they can make 20 or 30 million.

The vast majority of cinema movies really lose money and cannot recover their costs through box office revenue at all.

We can only recover the costs little by little through subsequent profits, which is really miserable.

The film investment and production industry has always been full of risks!
That’s why directors and creators like Bai Youlou are so popular in the circle.

Just two words: make money!
Wu Mugun, the genuine director, laughed. The fact that this kind of film could make money right after it was finished relieved a lot of the pressure in his heart.

Bai Youlou patted him on the shoulder and said, "I've seen the rough cut you made. It's pretty good. Once the post-production of this film is finished, you can prepare for the next one."

Wu Muqun's eyes lit up, "Brother Lou, is that the book?"

"If you want to shoot a book you wrote, that's fine. Show it to me first."

"No, no, no, I don't have that ability. It takes me a lot of effort to finish a half-finished script."

Although Wu Muqun had given Long Ziqiang a script in the first place to seduce him, he was actually not very good at being a screenwriter.

It's not difficult to come up with an idea, but it's very difficult to write a complete story.

That's why his book remains a work in progress.

Write your own script?
Now that he has relied on Bai Youlou, how could he still want to write on his own? Wouldn't that be pure idiocy?

"The next movie? When will Brother Lou shoot it?" Long Ziqiang asked curiously.

"Whenever he finishes post-production on Old Boy, we can start shooting. As long as you are not afraid of death, you can work non-stop."

Bai Youlou chuckled and said that you guys had better stay filming forever, so that he can lie in Zhang Xiaorong's arms and count money.

"I will definitely get it done before the New Year!" Wu Muqun nodded vigorously.

He is in high spirits now, and he is also young and full of energy!

He had no films to direct before, but now he can work non-stop?

I am so happy to code!

The next movie will be his first theatrical movie as a director!

What was that book called?

Oh yes, "Lost in Thailand".
