Chapter 495 New job (for Ji Moxue 7/9)
Jiang Xiaobai was still eating someone else's melon, when Dong Ran called her.
"Xiaobai, I have a new job." Dong Ran said the key point in one sentence.
"What job?"
"It's...an endorsement."
Jiang Xiaobai felt that something was wrong with Dong Ran's tone when she spoke. It was not like her previous straightforward tone, but rather hesitant. She couldn't help but wonder, "Is there something wrong with the endorsement?"
"There is no problem with the endorsement, but..." Dong Ran hesitated in his voice, and then said: "Let me tell you directly, this endorsement is an advertisement for Byron's women's perfume."
Jiang Xiaobai was stunned.
byron?
"Is it really Byron? Sister Ran, are you kidding me?" Jiang Xiaobai felt that he was probably hearing hallucinations.
Byron is a world-class luxury brand that mainly deals in women's clothing, men's clothing, jewelry, perfumes, cosmetics and other high-end consumer goods. Perfume is byron's most famous and most sought-after product.
Not only is the quality good, the bottle is also the most exquisitely made, like a piece of handicraft.
It can be said that no one among the female stars does not own Byron's perfume. At least everyone has one, and some even prepare a perfume cabinet to display Byron's perfume.
And if ordinary girls want to buy perfume, as long as they have enough money, they will be the first to consider Byron.
This kind of brand is now looking for a spokesperson to find itself?
No wonder Dong Ran's tone was such that even Jiang Xiaobai couldn't believe it.
"I thought I had read it wrong, but the call did come to me, and the contract sample has been sent to my mailbox." Dong Ran gradually came to his senses, and his tone returned to normal, "It's just that our contract is a little bit...
Specially, it’s only a half-year contract.”
"Why is it so short?"
Jiang Xiaobai felt confused.
Brand spokesperson contracts usually start from one year, and some are longer, ranging from two to three years or even five years, but the most common ones are one or two years, like this half-year...
Could it be that you were teasing her?
"I think they are trying to test the waters. They will see how you perform after being endorsed and then consider the follow-up. If you perform well, you will renew the contract," Dong Ran said.
"Is there anything else like this? This..."
Jiang Xiaobai was stunned.
This situation may have happened before, but it is definitely rare.
Only a top brand like Byron would make such a weird contract.
But Jiang Xiaobai didn't quite understand.
If they don't appreciate themselves, why do they appoint themselves as spokespersons? If they do, why only half a year?
Moreover, when a brand like Byron launches advertisements in China, don’t they hire super A-list celebrities? When will you be qualified?
"The price they gave is quite high, and I also found the official website's phone number and called the headquarters to verify. It's true, and the time to shoot the commercial is around the corner, in ten days," Dong Ran said.
Jiang Xiaobai was speechless now.
The endorsement time is inexplicable, and the filming time is also in a hurry.
Could it be that the brand originally appointed her as a spokesperson, but something went wrong, and then she was hired as an emergency substitute?
But that doesn’t make sense either…
"Although this endorsement is a bit strange, we can't miss this kind of opportunity. Let alone half a year, even half a month has to be accepted. So if you don't have any questions, I will reply. They will also prepare an advertisement for you.
Please report the size of the dress you are using."
Hearing what Dong Ran said, Jiang Xiaobai had no objection, "Okay, I'll ask Director Ren for leave now. How long is the specific number of days?"
"About four days."
After getting the numbers, Jiang Xiaobai called Director Ren.
Unfortunately, when Director Ren heard that she was asking for leave, he was silent for a moment, and then said with sadness: "You also have to ask for leave, but Chen Chengcheng has work to do in a week and needs to ask for leave. The time limit is five days. If you also ask for leave in ten days,
Taking four days off means that almost all the scenes of the male and female protagonists have to be put on hold."
Director Ren is not strict with actors, and he will not deliberately withhold approval for things like asking for leave, but the key point is that Jiang Xiaobai's time conflicts with Chen Chengcheng!
Sometimes the male lead is absent, and sometimes the female lead is absent. In total, it takes 7 days, which means that during these 7 days, the male and female protagonists cannot be filmed opposite each other, and personal scenes are also delayed a lot.
Director Ren is worried that this will affect the progress.
"Director Ren, why not take advantage of Chen Chengcheng and I being on the set these few days and shoot our scenes in advance? There is no problem with my personal scenes. I can shoot them anytime, and I can work overtime," Jiang Xiaobai said.
It was related to work, so she had no choice but to ask for leave. It was unprecedented for the Byron brand to come to her. She couldn't ask them to delay recording an advertisement for her, right?
As a result, the spokesperson for the past six months may also be in trouble.
Then we can only work hard on the crew.
"Work overtime? Even if you work overtime, your physical strength is limited, so you can't take any more pictures." Director Ren touched his head sadly, and there was another broken hair on his hand, and his face turned dark, "Forget it.
Let’s talk about it tomorrow when you get to the set.”
After saying that in a bad tone, he hung up the phone.
Jiang Xiaobai was stunned.
Is Director Ren angry?
It seems that the crew's tasks are really tight. In this way, she will have to work extra hard and overtime in the next few days!
Nothing can be said to hold back the crew!
Jiang Xiaobai, who has already had overtime experience in other crews, said——
I can work overtime!
The next day, Director Ren called Jiang Xiaobai and Chen Chengcheng together and told them about asking for leave.
"You need to ask for leave because you have other work to do. I can understand it, but our crew also has work. I can grant you leave, but you may have to work harder these days. If we have spare time, we will work overtime.
Come catch up on the progress..."
Jiang Xiaobai and Chen Chengcheng both listened carefully.
After hearing this, Chen Chengcheng smiled and said gently: "Director Ren, since it is the inconvenience caused to us, then we should do this as well. Don't worry, I will obey the arrangements of the crew."
Only then did he find out that Jiang Xiaobai was also asking for leave, and the time partially overlapped with his. The combined time was indeed quite long. No wonder Director Ren said this.
But in Chen Chengcheng's opinion, it's not a big deal. If you work overtime, just work overtime. He must take time off.
Besides, I am an actor and my physical strength is much better than Jiang Xiaobai's. As long as she can bear it, so can I.
So working overtime? Fear not!
Jiang Xiaobai also said: "Okay, Director Ren."
Director Ren nodded, "Okay, then we will add two more scenes today, which happen to be at night. You should prepare in advance."
After completing the normal shooting tasks for the day, the two began to work overtime.
ng is unavoidable. Sometimes ng is not only the actor's mistake, but also takes into consideration the photogenic effect. However, Jiang Xiaobai and Chen Chengcheng's ng is already very small, and they save a lot of effort compared to other actors.
