China Entertainment 1997.

Chapter 230 The first cooperation with the European and American little days

After being busy with a lot of company affairs, Cao Xuan can finally put most of his energy on the new album "Chinese Style".

However, at the end of July, he will fly to Hawaii to shoot a Pepsi commercial with Britney Spears.

Cao Xuan still attaches great importance to this advertisement, it can be regarded as his throwing stones to ask for directions before entering the European and American circles.

On the other hand, Britney is already very popular in the European and American music circles, and even as a representative of the American dream, she has been established as a model of the new generation by the American music circle, and she is so popular.

However, because the current information is not smooth, Britney has only been popular for a few years, and her background is insufficient, so her influence in Asia is still relatively weak. Circle a wave of powder.

Under the matchmaking of Pepsi, the two parties hit it off and quickly reached this advertising cooperation.

On July 7, Cao Xuan got off the plane and set foot on the land of Hawaii.

Well, I don't think the air in the United States is so sweet, but the smell of the sea is quite strong.

Hawaii, the only archipelagic state in the United States, is located in the central Pacific Ocean, with an area of ​​1.67 square kilometers, which is approximately equal to 0.28 ton.

Thanks to those Hong Kong movies, the main character went to Hawaii for vacation every now and then. This is a foreign tourist destination that Cao Xuan was familiar with when he was a child.

Before he took a middle school geography class, he always thought that Hawaii was a coastal city in the United States. Later, he realized that it was in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, and he also learned part of the history of Hawaii.

Tsk tsk, it is indeed a country of lighthouses of freedom and democracy...

The location of the advertisement is called Honolulu, which is the capital and largest city of Hawaii, but the Chinese call this city more Honolulu because it used to be rich in sandalwood.

In the hotel arranged by Pepsi, Cao Xuan met Britney, the European and American queen.

The standard American sweetheart, with blonde hair and blue eyes, and a figure that is not overbearing, but definitely curvy.

Just 20 years old this year, at the peak, exuding youthful vigor all over her body, with an innocent and lively smile, no wonder she is called Xiao Tiantian.

"Hello, Miss Spears."

Cao Xuan took the initiative to shake hands, but Britney gave him a warm hug: "Cao, I've heard your song, it's great."

Hearing the awkward and weird "Cao", Cao Xuan was full of black lines, and corrected him. "

"Don't call me Cao, my English name is Chris, Chris Tsao."

"Chris, full of confidence, great name, you seem like a confident person."

This little sweetie seems to be suffering from a socially obsessive disorder, and she is very familiar with Cao Xuan as soon as they meet. Cao Xuan thinks that he is also a person who is good at talking, and he is not used to her enthusiasm for a while. .

Seeing her like this, Cao Xuan was very suspicious of how she got tricked so badly later.

Although he doesn't know much about the European and American entertainment circles, and Goldfinger has limited information, Cao Xuan also heard that this girl seems to be abused by his father or boyfriend in partnership, and she is almost tortured into a psychopath.

Before I came here, I thought this girl was not easy to get along with, but she looked very optimistic and lively, and the smile on her face didn't seem to be faked.

But it's normal to think about it, if he becomes famous at a young age and is proud of himself, if he is happy every day, even if there are problems, it will all happen later.

"Have you heard my songs, where did you hear them, and which one do you like?"

""Blue Lotus" and "500miles", don't you know, your new adaptation of "500miles" has been listened to by many people in the United States. I especially like your voice, and I listen to it every night to sleep."

blue lotus?
Cao Xuan was a little confused at first, but later realized that it was a literal translation of "Blue Lotus".

Good guy, Cao Xuan is very curious, how to translate this if it is "Bright Stars".

"Many Shining Stars"?
What about "Don't Call Heroes", translate "Unrecognized Heroes"?
How about "East Wind Breaks" and "Fireworks Are Easy to Cold", "Broken by the East Wind" and "Fireworks Are Easy to Freeze"?
Cao Xuan made up his own mind, but he didn't care much about what Britney said about "500 Miles" becoming popular in the United States.

After all, it was his own song, and he paid more attention to it than Britney Spears. Frankly speaking, this song is not unpopular, and it did attract attention in a certain small area in the United States, but it only attracted attention.

After all, the original "500miles" ballad has been circulated in the United States for decades, and there are countless covers. Cao Xuan's version has its own characteristics, but it is not to the point of crushing all other versions.

Of course, the most important thing is that Warner didn't push the show. This is an era of underdeveloped information. There is no company promotion to hit the charts, and it is a cover song. It is difficult to become popular only by the tap water of the song itself.

So Britney's words were a bit watery, and they belonged to commercial flattery. Cao Xuan knew it well, so he replied sincerely.

"Thank you, I also really like your "First Confession of Love"."

As a professional actor, Cao Xuan's acting skills are definitely much better than Britney Spears. The girl really thinks that Cao Xuan has listened to his famous works many times.

But in fact, the number of times Cao Xuan listened to this song can be counted on two hands, and most of them are crazy make-up lessons in the past few days.

But no matter what, the two of them got acquainted with each other because of the business bragging, and then they filmed commercials together.

The creative of the ad was created by PepsiCo. The general outline is that Cao Xuan traveled to buy Coke, but he didn't bring any money, so Britney made a rescue.

Playing on the beach the next day, Britney offended a few gangsters for some reason, they chased her, Cao Xuan rescued the beauty, and then returned a can of Pepsi to Britney, and walked away.

How should I put it, the American stereotype thinks that all Chinese people know Chinese kung fu.

The four most popular Chinese male stars in the United States are Bruce Lee, Cheng Long, Li Lianjie, and Fa Ge. The top three are action stars, and the last one is a martial arts star.

So even if Cao Xuan is most famous for singing, he still has to give up singing and join martial arts, a hero to save the beauty.

Cao Xuan was also thankful that he was not a Brazilian, otherwise he should have played football.

But frankly speaking, it is beneficial for Cao Xuan to shoot this advertisement in this way, at least he can remember him, so he readily agreed.

But when the filming officially started, Cao Xuan couldn't help but make a suggestion.

According to the original shooting plan, the director asked Cao Xuan to knock down the gangsters like Cheng Long.

But Cao Xuan felt that it was too monotonous, mainly because he was similar to Cheng Long, and he didn't have a big nose, so there was no memory for this kind of shooting, so he proposed to add a little Chinese element.

The director didn't want to at first, but when he saw Cao Xuan holding a sword like Zhang Chong bought from the Chinese district, and skillfully wielding a few sword flowers, his eyes lit up immediately.

"That's good, martial arts, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", I like it."

Cao Xuan laughed. He is definitely not as good as Cheng and Li in martial arts and fighting moves, but he has acted as a swordsman twice. He has been practicing swords since "Little Li Fei Dao", and he can hardly leave his sword in "Swordsman".

This experience has made him very proficient in sword-style tricks. Lian Jiazi is definitely not as good as Lian Jiazi in his beautiful showmanship, but he can be regarded as a veteran in amateurs, and the photos are definitely good-looking.

Therefore, Cao Xuan made a temporary guest appearance as a martial arts instructor for a group of crew, performing tricks for a few gangsters, letting them know how he fights and how they fall.

The director of the film crew is very good at playing. The female protagonist of this commercial is an American sweet girl, the male protagonist is a Chinese master, and the gangsters are black, Latin American, Turk and a dark ass.

It can be called the great unity of the nations of the world, that is to say, there are everyone in Hawaii, otherwise it is not easy to get together.

Both Cao Xuan and Britney Spears are popular stars, and their schedules are tight. After confirming the shooting plan, they hurriedly started shooting.

.........

A small shop by the beach, the whole store was filled with Pepsi, Cao Xuan was wearing beach shorts, shirtless, took a bottle of Pepsi, wanted to pay but found that he was shirtless and did not bring any money.

The obese black lady proprietress stared at Cao Xuan with piercing eyes. Cao Xuan looked embarrassed, and Cancan put back the Coke, ready to leave.

Seeing this, Britney next to her bought two bottles of Coke, took one away and left the other at the cashier.

Cao Xuan thought she had forgotten, so he took a Coke and yelled, "Hey, your Pepsi."

Britney turned around and smiled brightly and sweetly: "No, it's your Pepsi."

Holding the Pepsi in his hand, Cao Xuan looked at the back of the girl leaving lively, with a gentle smile on his face.

That's right, Mr. Cao "referenced" again, and he is not to blame. This scene is too similar to that advertisement, so he mentioned it. Unexpectedly, the director and the person in charge of Pepsi thought it was good, and immediately signed the lines.

Cao Xuan's filming of this part went very smoothly, and there was almost no difficulty for him in this scene. Instead, Britney was pulled back and kept reshooting.

The director wanted her to be amazed, to be intoxicated with laughter, to match the situation, to fall in love at first sight.

The following fight scene is almost Cao Xuan's highlight. Whether Britney can shine in this commercial depends on this smile.

After all, Britney is a singer, so she is not good at expressing emotions and controlling facial expressions. After a long time, she finally satisfied the director.

At this time, Cao Xuan had already finished filming the scene of beating up the gangsters, and Britney was molested and chased after the reshoot.

The next day, after Cao Xuan beat the gangster away with a sword, he came before Britney, who was still a little panic-stricken.

Don't ask why you have to carry a sword with you on the beach, advertising, what logic are you talking about.

Cao Xuan took the sword, and the gangster also took out a baseball bat casually, I don't know where he took it out...

Holding the sword neatly behind his back, Cao Xuan turned his head to look at the flustered and adoring white girl.

"Are you ok?"

"Thank you, you are a hero."

Cao Xuan smiled and said nothing, turned around and left gracefully. When he left, a bottle of Pepsi was suddenly "tactically dropped" in front of the girl.

The girl picked up the Coke and asked in a slightly crying voice, "Hey, your Pepsi."

Cao Xuan turned around, pointed at her, and smiled brightly with a bit of slyness: "No, it's your Pepsi."

The girl finally laughed through her tears, and chased after her with a Coke.

"Good, you guys did a great job Chris."

The director danced happily, Britney leaned over, and saw that she also turned around to leave a message, Cao Xuan's performance was more vivid than her own, more impressive, and very handsome.

Looking at the back of the handsome leaving in the camera, Britney got the face of this handsome Chinese guy for the first time.

"Chris, do you have time to find a bar for a drink?"

"No, I have to catch a plane back home."

Cao Xuan didn't notice what Britney was thinking, he was just regretting that this commercial was not filmed well.

In fact, in his opinion, the last paragraph is a bit redundant, just leave after playing, the rhythm is more straightforward, and the effect may be more brilliant, but the sponsor Pepsi disagrees.

To put it bluntly, he and Britney Spears are both supporting roles in this commercial. The real protagonist is the little blue jar. They don’t need to have a plot, but the blue jar must have enough shots, so this paragraph must be added to echo back and forth. .
