Accidental Mark

[Accidental Marks Chapter Sixteen]

The song "Memory Fragments" by Chen Yijun is an original song written, composed, and arranged by herself. The theme is first love, and the story takes place in the middle school era.

In this world, most children with Alpha and Omega genes begin to differentiate when they are about 16 years old. As their glands mature, they will have distinctive pheromone odors.

However, Beta still accounts for more than 70% of humans. They have no glands, no pheromone smell, and they will not be troubled by estrus and susceptibility periods.

Speaking of Beta, people's first reaction is: ordinary.

At present, most of the various film and television dramas and songs appearing in the entertainment circle will focus on Alpha and Omega-the mutual attraction of pheromone, the perfect fit of genes, it sounds like an incomparable fairy love.

Chen Yijun’s song is about two Beta stories.

She is a Beta girl herself, probably because of empathy, and the lyrics are very substituting.

The script design of the MV is also very interesting. Chen Yijun debuted at a young age and is now 25 years old. Fans who dress like a high school student also know that she is not a 16-year-old girl. Therefore, the script adopts the format of "dreaming back to high school" to allow Chen Yijun to travel through the dreamland. In this way, as long as the male lead is a teenager of about 18 years old, the female lead will not appear abrupt even if she appears as an adult.

The reason why the MV was postponed until now is that Chen Yijun has never found a suitable male lead. It wasn't until she saw Cheng Xia in the office that she felt "eyes brightened".

She boldly let Cheng Xia, Omega, come back to Beta senior, because Cheng Xia looks very sunny, she does not have the softness of Omega, fresh and natural handsome and not as aggressive as Alpha, which is very in line with the image of Beta seniors in high school. temperament. In the future, if fans know that Cheng Xia is actually an Omega, the contrast will still attract a wave of attention and topics!

Cheng Xia read the script several times in the car, and was very familiar with the plot.

The heroine of the story is very ordinary. In the first year of high school, she secretly liked a senior, and the other party was also a Beta, but the other party was the best student in the school's Beta, too outstanding and dazzling, the heroine did not dare to follow her until she graduated from high school. He confessed.

After adulthood, the heroine worked hard and finally succeeded in her career and created her own clothing brand.

The 100th anniversary of the school invited her back to give a speech. She returned to school and saw the senior who had a crush on. The past came to mind. That night, she had a long dream. In the dream, she seemed to travel back to her childhood. The senior who had a crush on her was very close but far away.

The handsome teenagers either play the piano in the music room, read carefully under the trees, or run wildly on the court. The pictures are as clear as yesterday.

The final scene returned to the auditorium where the two met. She had no time to reach out and touch the young man's fingertips. Then, the whole picture was instantly shattered like a mirror. She woke up suddenly from the bed and heard the alarm clock urging her to work.

A very simple story about "secret love" makes people feel sour after reading it.

The unspeakable likes when I was young can only be completely buried in memories. Although Cheng Xia has never had a crush on anyone, he feels that Sister Yijun's song will definitely resonate with a lot of Beta boys and girls.

When I was in high school, the school was full of rumors of "who split into Alpha" and "who split into Omega". It seemed that no one paid attention to Beta.

However, about 30 of the 40 students in a class are Beta, which is quite a high percentage. They seem ordinary, not like Alpha where they are the focus, and they are not protected by the school like Omega. But they will also secretly like someone, and they will be sad and sad because their secret love has no results.

As a popular Beta star in the entertainment industry, Chen Yijun, regardless of its intention, starting point, or the theme that it wants to express, is particularly in line with the psychology of Beta teenagers.

Cheng Xia likes Chen Yijun's new song very much, and she is especially looking forward to what the script of the MV will look like.

Director Zhang greeted Cheng Xia to come to the studio and briefly told Cheng Xia about the content of today's shooting: "Today, I mainly try on makeup and styling, and I only shoot some simple indoor pictures. I want to put the male lead in the music room to play the piano. After filming the part, look at the weather forecast, it should snow in the afternoon."

He gestured happily while squinting his eyes to imagine the scene: "Heavy snow outside the window, in the quiet music room, the handsome boy is playing the piano without anyone else, and the heroine passes by outside, looking at his silhouette, but not Dare to disturb you... when the time comes, the two cameras will shoot you clearly from different angles and edit them later!"

Chen Yijun excitedly circled Cheng Xia next to him: "Post-production must combine this picture with my lyrics, the effect must be first-rate!"

Cheng Xia was also driven by the emotions of the two and asked seriously: "Director Zhang, am I going to sit there directly later?" He pointed to the piano and stools already placed in the room.

"Yes, you don't have to walk around in this scene, just sit and play the piano from start to end." Director Zhang paused, then suddenly asked: "By the way, can you play the piano? Come, let me take a look at your hand."

"Yes, I have learned piano since I was a child." Cheng Xia stretched out her hands to show the director.

I don’t know if I stretched the joints from the primary school piano. The young boy’s fingers are white and slender. If you look at it up close, you are really flawless. Director Zhang couldn’t help but exclaim, “These hands are so beautiful. It’s okay to zoom in directly. Please replace it!"

Playing the piano requires a lot of close-ups of the male protagonist's hands. Director Zhang was a little worried at first. If the new recruits Chen Yijun finds are not good-looking, he has to ask another hand model to act as a substitute in this section.

Although it's only a few minutes of MV, but Zhang Dao's requirements are very high. People who don't know how to play the piano sat there posing for a photo, and when the professionals saw it, the keys were all played blindly.

Cheng Xia knows how to play the piano, and his hands are good-looking.

Director Zhang immediately decided: "Come on, let's try to take a shot, Cheng Xia, pay attention to the camera position." He pointed to the camera behind him, "The first camera will mainly shoot you later, and it will surround you. You turn, you don’t care about it, your expression is more natural, just focus on playing the piano."

Cheng Xia nodded, walked over and sat down on the piano bench, lifted the lid of the piano, and gently placed both hands on the keys.

Director Zhang returned to the position of director and gave an order: "Lighting, photography, props preparation!"

The staff prepared quickly.

Cheng Xia was a little nervous. After all, this was the first time he faced so many staff and cameras. The strong light above his head slammed, and the dazzling light made him a little dizzy.

He took a deep breath and adjusted his expression, trying to focus on the piano in front of him.

Zhang Dao turned to the photographer next to him with an OK gesture: "Cheng Xia plays a piece of music casually, and the first machine is in place!"

After Cheng Xia heard it, she stroked the keys with both hands and began to play a familiar piano piece.

***

At the same time, Ronghua Building diagonally across from No.17 Middle School.

Liu Xueyi was sitting in the VIP room. Seeing that it was almost 11:30, the person who had the appointment still did not come.

Xu Moran, the screenwriter with him, couldn’t help but complain: "Brother Yi, one of my classmates is one of Pei Shaoze’s hair children. It’s said that they went to the club every night to check in the other day, and they didn’t go back until five in the morning. How could he suddenly change **** in a few days? I guess he was forced by his father to take over Team C of Tianxuan, and he didn't even want to do it seriously. Is the drama he invested in reliable?"

Liu Xueyi frowned: "But I have also heard some rumors that he often works overtime recently and is serious about his work? Anyway, since he is looking for me personally, let's meet and talk."

As soon as the voice fell, the door outside was suddenly pushed open, and an Alpha walked in with an assistant.

The man is tall and slender, with handsome features and a trace of inaccessibility in his dark eyes. He is wearing a gray coat and a simple striped scarf around his neck. The heating was turned on in the room. After entering the room, he took off his scarf, took off his coat and handed it to the assistant behind him, then walked in front of the two of them, and proactively stretched out his hand: "Director Liu, Teacher Xu, it suddenly snowed outside and traffic jams at the intersection. , I'm so sorry for being two minutes late."

Liu Xueyi hurriedly stood up and shook hands with him: "Good Mr. Pei."

Xu Moran also smiled: "It doesn't matter, President Pei, we just arrived too."

Pei Shaoze said: "Sit down and talk." He leaned to Zhang Fan's ear and whispered in a low voice: "Xiao Zhang, go to the waiter to order, and we will serve it in half an hour."

Zhang Fan understood, hung up President Pei's clothes and turned and left.

Pei Shaoze sat down and took out a contract from his briefcase: "Director Liu, I have seen your previous dramas and appreciate your style very much. Therefore, this time Tianxuan invested in the campus drama, I am very sincere to talk to you. Cooperation." He pushed the contract to Liu Xueyi and said in a low voice: "This is the contract I asked the legal affairs department to sort out. You can check it out first. In addition to the fixed remuneration, the director can also benefit from the final income of the show. Get a certain percentage."

The box office share is usually the treatment that movie directors have, and the network drama share? Liu Xueyi thinks that this is the big pie that Pei Shaoze drew for him-youth-themed online dramas are already pretty good without losing money. Want to earn money and get the share? Don't be funny at the end of a few hundred dollars.

However, after seeing the contract, Liu Xueyi's face changed slightly: "Mr. Pei, do you want to hurry up to film and release it in the summer? This...the competition is fierce in the summer vacation. Small investment web dramas have to fight with those big IPs in the summer vacation, right? ..."

"Isn't it just killing myself, right?" Pei Shaoze raised his eyes lightly and looked at Liu Xueyi calmly. "Summer vacation files do fight fiercely, but don't forget that summer vacation files are also when the traffic is the highest. We are shooting campus dramas. The audience for campus dramas is mostly students. Students are at home on vacation and have a lot of time to follow the drama. As long as the drama is well filmed, the ratings will certainly not be too bad."

"This..." Liu Xueyi found that the other party looked serious, and he didn't know how to refute it for a while.

“In terms of publicity and distribution, I don’t want to invest too much money. We will use new starring roles this time. Excessive publicity will cause negative effects. The investment should be controlled within 10 million, and the money should be spent on the blade, and the script will be carefully polished. Achieve the ultimate-I believe that whether a drama can be popular is the quality and reputation."

"..." Liu Xueyi and Xu Moran looked at each other, both in shock. Mr. Pei’s remarks are simply a clear stream of investors. Unlike many employers who shout every day to find big-name celebrities and sprinkle tens of millions in publicity expenses. For some dramas with an investment of 100 million yuan, the actors' pay can be taken away Wan, that's a fart!

Quality and reputation are the foundation of a drama.

The Alpha in front of him is very young, but when he speaks, this kind of calm aura is really not something a rich second-generation can have. Liu Xueyi couldn't help but look at him with admiration. Xu Moran decided to turn around and scold his damaging friend, what kind of rumor he had spread! Is this Pei Shaoze in front of him like someone who goes to a bar to drink until four or five in the middle of the night?

"Director Liu, profit sharing is not an empty promise, but I think this show will definitely make money." Pei Shaoze paused, and then said, "As for the actors, we will have another audition when the script is changed. Tianxuan's newcomer will meet. Participate in the audition. When the time comes, we will go to the scene in person and decide whoever has the best acting skills. I will only give you your reference and will not force you to cram."

"President Pei, if you trust me so much, I must go all out!" Liu Xueyi's voice was trembling, and he was completely aroused by Pei Shaoze's words. He is an unfamiliar director. In the past, every time he talked about the contract, the investor would be arrogant and gesticulate, arbitrarily inserting actors into the play regardless of his opinion, and if he brought money into the group, he had to change the script and add the play. He could only endure .

This time, Mr. Pei not only gave him a very high remuneration, but also promised a revenue share, and let him participate in the audition to personally determine the actor-with such a great sincerity, he has no reason to refuse.

Such an investor is the best investor father in his mind!

After reading the contract, Liu Xueyi found that there was an official seal and Pei Shaoze’s signature on the last page of the contract. He admired Mr. Pei’s neat work style even more. He took out the pen and just wanted to sign his name. The moment he wrote it, he suddenly reacted. , Looked up and asked: "By the way, President Pei, who is the producer of this show?"

Pei Shaoze said calmly: "I will be a producer myself."

Liu Xueyi and Xu Moran: "..."

No, do you have this experience?

Pei Shaoze raised the corners of his lips to the two questioning eyes, and said: "Don't worry, I personally invested in the first online drama. If I lose my money, I will not be able to raise my head in the company-I will definitely Take this drama seriously."

Liu Xueyi was silent for a few seconds, then bit his toothpick and gave his name.

Just bet this time! If you win, you will earn blood, but you will not lose if you lose.

In the eyes of Liu and Xu, Pei Shaoze has no production experience. The producer is very important in a play. It is necessary not only to coordinate the various parties and supervise the filming progress of the entire crew, but also to follow up the process of publicity, submission for review, and screening schedule after the completion. A good producer can make a show go smoothly, can Pei Shaoze?

Liu Xueyi didn't know that in the shell of Alpha in front of him, Mr. Pei, who came from another world, made countless celebrities and was named "the most investment-sighted boss".

Produce a youth school drama? It's a piece of cake for Pei.

The contract was signed smoothly.

When Zhang Fan asked the waiter to serve, Liu Xueyi had already signed it.

Director, screenwriter, and producer, the three of them talked happily, and Zhang Fan looked dazed.

This, this is set?

President Pei is really quick and resolute. This is the fastest contract Zhang Fan has ever signed since joining the industry.

***

After eating, Pei Shaoze did not go directly to the garage, but stopped the elevator on the first floor and walked out of the hall.

Zhang Fan also tended to follow him: "President Pei, won't you return to the company?"

Pei Shaoze looked at the Seventeenth Lieutenant Colonel's gate diagonally opposite, and said, "Go visit the class first."

Zhang Fan was stunned for a moment, and then quickly realized: "By the way, Chen Yijun's MV was shot in Seventeenth Middle School!"

"Well, she greeted me specially yesterday." Pei Shaoze walked to the door of the building. Snow was flying outside, he held up a **** umbrella, walked towards the opposite Seventeen Middle School, and said, "After all, Chen Yijun has already signed a contract extension with Tianxuan. As the boss, I should also treat the newly renewed The artist about the appointment expresses his concern."

Chen Yijun, the investigator, was just an excuse. He even wanted to see Cheng Xia.

It's the first time facing a professional camera and a strict director Zhang, don't you know if the little guy is still adapting?
