Chapter 7 chapter07
During the filming, Han Yang mentioned the fact that Mi Ke was leaving the crew to shoot commercials and endorsements. Chen Yichuan did not object. He only asked to come back as soon as possible after filming, so as not to affect the progress of the crew.
The filming location was in City S for three days. Mico left the filming early on Wednesday morning, returned to the hotel to pick up his luggage, and rushed directly to City S without any rest.
The highway in the early morning was empty and quiet. Miko had been filming night scenes for the past two days, and he slept for less than seven hours in total. The car was driving smoothly, and he couldn't help but fall asleep.
Lexia picked up the small blanket and carefully covered him.
When we arrived in City S, it was almost six o'clock. Miko woke up, and Lexia curled up next to her with a pillow and fell asleep. The driver drove all night, and now he started to feel sleepy and yawned one after another.
Mico sat up, looked out the window, and said, "Master, stop the car outside the breakfast shop in front. You go down to eat something and take a rest."
The driver had been driving for so long that his body was stiff. Hearing Mi Ke's words, he was happy and said, "Okay, okay."
There were not many people on the street now, so Miko didn't need to worry too much. He got out of the car, stretched his body, and ran across the street to buy the pan-fried buns he had wanted to eat for a long time, and also bought one for Lexia.
When I took a bite of the hot buns, my mouth was filled with the aroma of meat and oil. The seasoning of the filling was a bit sweet, but Mico grew up in S city, so it suited the taste.
He ate five in one go.
After an hour's rest, the driver felt refreshed.
Lexia also woke up and asked while eating breakfast: "Brother, should we go to the hotel first?"
Mico shook his head and said, "If you don't have time, go directly to the shooting location."
He added: "When we get there, go and buy me an American cup, without sugar or milk."
His eyes and face are a bit swollen due to lack of sleep. Black coffee can reduce swelling and refresh him.
What Miko is going to shoot today is a car commercial. The brand is a sub-brand of a big brand, and its target audience market is young people. By hiring Miko as a spokesperson, he is interested in Miko's traffic.
Advertising Department Manager Yang Qing came to the scene in person.
Yang Qing is in her thirties, wearing a white business suit with a light pink inner layer that makes her whole body look brighter. She is not tall, but has a strong aura. She steps on the marble floor with her stiletto heels and emits "
There was a "click" sound, and she looked Miko up and down, then she stretched out her hand and said, "Hello, Miko."
Mico shook hands with her and said, "Mr. Yang."
After a brief exchange of greetings, Yang Qing turned the topic to work, "The location has been set up. You are an actor and you don't need me to teach you how to shoot. I only have one requirement: make it look good and be brilliant."
"I will." Miko smiled.
In fact, 70% of the car commercials shown on TV are completed in post-production, and there are very few scenes that actually require actors to shoot.
Advertising does not require acting skills, but the beauty of the camera.
This is Miko's strength.
After drinking half a cup of black coffee, within half an hour, the swelling on Miko's face was reduced a lot. After covering it with foundation, he became a delicate and handsome boy again.
The makeup artist helped him put on makeup, and Miko went into the fitting room to change clothes.
Wearing a white suit, the well-cut suit fully highlighted Mico's slender waist and long legs. The silver-rimmed glasses on his face were elegant and intellectual. When he came out of the fitting room, he stunned everyone.
There is also a marketing director beside Yang Qing. When Yang Qing selected Mi Ke as his spokesperson, he voted against it, but now, he finally agrees with Yang Qing's idea.
Mico is indeed suitable. His face alone can attract people to watch the advertisement.
—
The exterior scene was shot in a car club. The car that Miko and I were filming with was already parked on the road. It was all blue, with smooth body lines and a very good-looking appearance.
In terms of performance, Mico personally tested it when accepting the advertisement, and the experience was very good. At least it is excellent in the same price range, and the price/performance ratio is very high.
When the director saw that Miko was ready, he signaled to the staff that the commercial shooting would officially begin.
Mico sat in the car, looking straight ahead, with his slender white fingers on the steering wheel, and a smile on his lips. His smile was like the spring after the ice and snow melted, when everything revived, warm and beautiful.
The photographer took the camera and advanced the lens to record Miko's expression and zoomed in on the monitor. Yang Qing folded his arms and looked aside, nodding his head with a satisfied expression.
After the post-production of this commercial, it only lasted 45 seconds, and Mico would only appear for 15 seconds. But for these 15 seconds, Mico shot for a whole day and ended at 5 p.m.
After declining Yang Qing's dinner invitation, Miko couldn't hold on any longer and planned to go back to the hotel to sleep.
The hotel was set in the city center, and there was still a long drive. Mico leaned back in his chair and fell asleep. Suddenly Lexia exclaimed, and he opened his eyes, "What's wrong?"
Le Xia's eyes wandered for a moment, "No, it's nothing."
Miko looked at her.
Lexia whimpered and said honestly: "My friend helped me get Teacher Lu's signature."
"Are you a fan of Lu Yansheng?"
Lexia's eyes were bright: "Yeah!"
She immediately expressed her feelings quickly, "But I still like you the most!"
"It doesn't have to be like this," Miko couldn't laugh or cry.
With his eyes bent, he added, "If I have a chance to see him in the future, I'll get an autographed photo for you."
Lexia was so happy, "Thank you, brother!"
After shooting the car commercial, Miko shot two more short-term endorsement materials, working non-stop until the afternoon of the last day, when he finally had a few hours to spare.
He had asked Lexia to prepare gifts for the children in the orphanage in advance, including books, stationery, sporting goods and toys. He also bought a ukulele for Lingling alone.
Without letting Lexia follow, Miko drove himself and went to the orphanage with gifts.
The orphanage is far away from the city center and is considered a suburb of S. Fortunately, there was no traffic jam at this time. Mico only drove for more than an hour and arrived at the place.
A few years ago, the government allocated funds to renovate the orphanage. The once "old and shabby little school" has been given a new look. The classrooms are bright and spacious, the tables and chairs are clean and tidy, and there is a music room, a chess and painting room, and a computer room. The facilities are very complete.
Dean Chen knew he had arrived and hurriedly came out of the office.
Seeing her, Mi Ke naturally shouted and walked over quickly, "Mother Chen, I'm back."
Dean Chen responded happily, looked at him again, saw the cyan color in his eyes and the tiredness that couldn't be hidden in his eyes, and frowned, "Did you not get much rest?"
"No, it's just that I'm in a rush these days and I'm quite busy. It'll be fine after a while." Miko reported the good news but not the bad news, and then changed the subject, "Speaking of which, can you adapt to the new prosthetic leg you got? Can you walk?
Will it scratch the wound?"
"The prosthesis is very good. It's very comfortable for me to wear. It's just too expensive. I can just use the ones that cost tens of thousands. Your money doesn't come from strong winds."
After saying that, Dean Chen sighed, brought up the topic again, and said with concern: "If you are unhappy and tired of your job, I won't do it. Your body and health are more important."
Mico put his hands on her shoulders and patted her gently, "I know, you don't have to worry about me."
The gifts were handed over to volunteers to carry, and Mico only took away the ukulele. Dean Chen said: "Lingling and the other children are in the music room. A very handsome boy came just now and he was playing the piano for everyone."
The music room is on the second floor. Dean Chen takes Mi Ke up.
The classroom door was open, and the sound of the piano came from the classroom and could be heard clearly in the corridor. Miko was not familiar with classical music, so he didn't recognize what the music was, but he just thought it sounded good.
Walking to the back door of the music room, Miko looked in through the window. A dozen children of five or six years old were sitting obediently on small benches, listening to the music attentively.
In front of the left front, in front of the upright piano, sat a tall figure with his eyes closed, his chiseled profile blending in the orange-hued sunlight of the evening, looking particularly quiet and peaceful.
Mi Ke didn't expect that he and Lu Yansheng would meet again so quickly.
"What's wrong? Do you know him?" Dean Chen asked.
Mico said "Yeah" and subconsciously lowered his voice so as not to disturb the tranquility. "He is my high school alumnus and a very good actor. His name is Lu Yansheng."
"He is also a star, no wonder," Dean Chen said with a smile, "He is so good-looking and has a very different temperament."
Mi Ke didn't walk into the classroom with Dean Chen until the music stopped.
As soon as they saw Dean Chen, the children all jumped up and ran towards her happily, surrounding her and talking in all directions.
Mi Ke looked at Lu Yansheng and did not miss the flash of surprise in his eyes when he looked up and saw him.
"meet again."
Mi Ke said hello with a smile, walked up to Lu Yansheng, looked down at him, "Why are you here?"
Lu Yansheng took out a handkerchief from his pocket to wipe his hands, closed the piano cover, and said in a calm voice, "Aren't you here too?"
Mico said: "I grew up here. It's rare that I have free time today, so I came back to take a look."
Lu Yansheng was startled for a moment. Although he knew that Mi Ke was an orphan and grew up in an orphanage, he didn't know which orphanage it was. Unexpectedly, it was such a coincidence that the orphanage he walked into today was it.
"I was collecting news nearby and accidentally discovered this orphanage, so I bought some things to see them." Lu Yansheng nodded his chin in the direction of the children.
Miko leaned on the upright piano and asked curiously: "What piece of music did you play just now?"
"Spring Sonata."
"It sounds very good." Miko commented.
On the other side, Dean Chen asked the teacher to take the children downstairs to receive gifts, leaving Lingling alone.
Lingling is seven years old this year and looks cute. She knows Mi Ke. She doesn’t need Dean Chen to help her. She has already run up to Mi Ke and signs to Mi Ke with a smile: “Brother Mi.”
Because she was born hard of hearing, Lingling was not very good at speaking, so she used to use sign language to talk to people.
Squatting down, Mi Ke looked at her levelly and replied in sign language: "After the operation, do you feel any discomfort?"
"No."
"Can you hear me now?"
Lingling nodded vigorously, smiled sweetly and happily, "I can hear a little bit, I heard a puppy barking yesterday."
Touching her hair tenderly, Mico handed her the ukulele, "When you had the surgery, you said you wanted to learn guitar after your hearing recovered. You were still young and the guitar was too big for you. You can
Learn it first, it is also called 'four-string guitar'."
Lingling was so happy. She hugged the ukulele lovingly, opened her mouth, and tried very hard to make a sound, "Thank you, thank you, brother, brother."
Lingling was taken away by Dean Chen, and only Mi Ke and Lu Yansheng were left in the music room.
Mico walked around the classroom, returned to Lu Yansheng, sat down on a bench, rested his elbows on his knees, rested his chin on his palms, and said with bright eyes: "Can you play "Spring Sonata" again?
