Braised Eggplant with Minced Pork

Chapter 114 Commercial Shoot

“An ad? Sure!”

Sure enough, when Tang Tian told Olsen about doing a cake commercial together, Olsen agreed without hesitation.

After falling out with her sister, she hadn't dared to tell her parents and had been using her savings. Although she had a lot, it wasn't a long-term solution to only spend and not earn. Tang Tian's call came at just the right time.

With Olsen settled, Tang Tian then gave the news to Fagan.

Fagan replied in just one day. The new compensation was negotiated: $30,000, six times the original.

Fagan's negotiation skills were on full display, which also showed the influence of American socialites in the United States.

After Olsen's movie *Love, Peace and Misunderstanding* flopped, she was just a completely unknown actress, but even so, her family status still allowed her to get a good return.

Two days later, the two appeared together in New York. Olsen looked to be in a very good mood, her face full of smiles.

"Elizabeth, have you ever done a commercial before?" Tang Tian couldn't help but ask curiously, seeing Olsen so excited.

"No." Olsen shook her head.

Tang Tian laughed after hearing that. No wonder, it was both of their first times, and they had run into each other.

The people from the advertising company were already in place. After they arrived, they put on makeup for them, and they could start filming directly.

This commercial was only 30 seconds long, and the plot wasn't complicated. The content was about the female lead sending different cakes to the male lead, who was a basketball player, every day. In the end, the male lead successfully won the championship and proposed to the female lead after winning. The female lead was moved to tears, and finally, an advertising slogan was added: "If you love him, send him XX cake."

Although Olsen wasn't very famous, she inherited the genes of the Olsen sisters after all, and looked a bit like them. The audience recognition was very high. In addition, Tang Tian had just helped UConn win the championship, and many people knew about eating cake during the game, so the advertising effect of this wave of hype should be very good.

The early filming went smoothly. As an actress, Olsen's acting skills were still good. As for Tang Tian, he basically just had to be responsible for eating and looking handsome, which was not difficult at all.

However, they encountered some problems in the last step. Perhaps Olsen was in too good a mood. She tried many methods, including using eye drops, but couldn't cry to the desired effect.

Because all the previous shots had passed, it was a bit difficult to get stuck here.

And after trying a few times, Olsen's eyes were a little swollen, so she could only use a towel to reduce the swelling first.

"Why don't we shoot again next time?" Tang Tian suggested. He didn't expect this to happen. It seemed that being an actor wasn't easy either.

"Let's try again later." Olsen insisted.

Tang Tian nodded.

After more than half an hour, Olsen's eyes were better, and the commercial shooting continued.

"I still can't find that feeling, the feeling of being moved." Olsen couldn't help but say before starting.

"Why don't I tell you a story?" Tang Tian thought for a moment and said.

Generally, established actors have their own way of brewing emotions, but Olsen has little experience and is still a bit tender in this regard.

"A story?" Olsen looked at Tang Tian suspiciously.

"Yeah, a father is 75 years old, his spirit and mind are not very good, he doesn't remember many things, and can only live in the hospital. The son will come to accompany him for a while every day. As time goes by, the son gradually gets a little bored." Tang Tian really started telling a story, and Olsen listened very carefully.

"One day, a crow flew outside the window, and he asked his son: What is that? The son said: It's a crow. After a while, the father asked again, and the son roared: I said it's a crow, what's wrong with you! The father was afraid to speak after being yelled at by him," Tang Tian continued.

"Later, the father passed away, and when the son was sorting out his belongings, he suddenly found a diary written by his father 40 years ago, which read: 'Today my son is three years old. A crow flew outside the window, and he pointed at the crow and asked me: What is that? I told him, it's a crow. He asked again, and I answered again. He asked 11 times, and I answered 11 times.'"

After Tang Tian finished speaking, Olsen's eyes were red, and tears quickly flowed out.

"That's it, that's the state." The director on the side shouted excitedly after seeing it.

The crew frantically started filming, and soon, this last scene was finally successfully filmed.

The commercial was successfully completed, and Tang Tian also received about 18,000 US dollars in after-tax compensation.

When he got the money, he opened the system and saw that there were indeed about 18,000 more krypton points, which, including the previous ones, totaled 23,000 krypton points.

He couldn't help but smile when he saw the krypton points.

As he had expected, as long as it was related to basketball, the system would default to valid krypton points.

And this commercial was filmed with him and Olsen, and he took a loophole, and went to collect it alone. The system defaulted that it was the money he earned alone.

However, judging from the increase in krypton points, it still deducts taxes, only counting the money received.

"Here, half is yours." Tang Tian directly gave Olsen nine thousand US dollars.

"No need to give me money." Olsen instinctively refused.

"No, this is what you deserve. The amount of money doesn't matter, what matters is your first commercial income." Tang Tian said. He went to get the money alone just to get more krypton points from the system. He didn't really care about the money.

"And don't you want to pay your sister back? This is a good start."

"Okay." Olsen finally accepted the money Tang Tian gave her.

"Let's go, we've made money, let's have a good meal and reward ourselves!" Tang Tian said, patting his bulging wallet.

"Let's go!" Olsen also imitated him and patted her bulging wallet.

The two then laughed out loud.

If a passerby saw them at this time, they would definitely think they were two fools.

The two found a revolving sushi restaurant. They had eaten Western food last time, and Olsen hadn't tried Chinese food before, so eating Japanese food was a very good choice.

This sushi restaurant was very high-end, and the prices were not cheap, but the seafood inside was very fresh and tasted quite delicious.

"This feeling is really different." Olsen had completely recovered from her previous sad emotions, and said with a smile at this moment.

"What feeling?"

"The feeling of earning your own money, and then spending it, feels very happy." Olsen said with a smile, turning her head.

"You didn't get paid for your previous movies?" Tang Tian asked suspiciously.

Olsen shook her head.

Tang Tian smiled wryly. It seemed that the Olsen sisters really treated their younger sister as a money-making tool.

No wonder Olsen's emotions were so broken that day. She was such a good-tempered person, it was probably the result of years of accumulation.

"Then you will always be happy, in the future." Tang Tian said.
