"Baby, forty-five degrees to the left, okay, put your right hand in your pocket, raise your chin a little, okay!"

"Click, click......"

In Yanjing City, in a high-end studio, Peng Xiangming stood there struggling to pose.

The flashes in front of him were connected into a film.

The warm lamp of the school light has been baking two meters away.

But I still have to wear a thick suit and tie, and my hair is oily.

Even if there is air conditioning in such a large studio, Peng Xiangming still sweats non-stop, and he has to touch up his makeup every two or three minutes, which is really a painful job for him.

But the pain also has to endure.

That's it, including renting a studio, including high-end photographers, makeup artists, and costume rentals, with a total cost of more than 60,000 yuan for three hours of shooting.

The studio needs to pay for it itself, and Daqi Records is just contacting it on its behalf.

After changing several poses in a row, and being asked to laugh several times, the photographer finally said, "OK baby, next look, Pony, make up your makeup!"

Peng Xiangming breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly left the highlight area, and Kong Quan hurriedly came up to take off his tie and coat.

Then, go to the changing room and change into a loose plaid shirt, with jeans, high-top sneakers, come back to the makeup artist to wipe off the sweat, quickly touch up the makeup, and immediately start the next one.

Zhao Jianyuan was wearing loose and comfortable jeans and a T-shirt, and he kept smiling and watching from the side.

Chen Guo, the distribution director of Middle Banner Records, seems to have been here again.

It can be seen that although the matter is small, he still attaches great importance to it.

I was busy until half past five in the afternoon, and finally ended the shooting, Peng Xiangming was in good health, but he was already too tired, so he quickly changed his clothes and went to the matching bathroom to take a shower.

When he came out with a T-shirt and shorts, Zhao Jianyuan handed over a cigarette, he thought about it, took it, lit it with the lighter in his hand, took a puff, and said, "Smoking is not allowed here." ”

Zhao Jianyuan himself clicked on it and smiled, "If you are fined, you will be fined, and if you want to smoke, you can draw!"

Peng Xiangming laughed.

This is Zhao Jianyuan's logic.

Suddenly, the makeup artist named Pony actually came in, and when he entered the door, he smelled the smoke, and he didn't squeak, but smiled, a little feminine, but not too girly, and walked in, "Hello Mr. Peng!"

Peng Xiangming hurriedly got up, "Hello Pony!"

"That's right, I often take some big show orders, and a lot of model agents can also be, just now I saw you take pictures, I think your body shape, very suitable for the catwalk, especially your facial features, look particularly tough, I think you are very suitable for some high-end shows, so I want to ask you, do you have any intentions in this regard, if you have this intention, I can recommend you to the past...... Here's my business card!"

Peng Xiangming took it, "Oh...... Thank you! Thank you, I'm ...... for the time being."

Kong Quan came in suddenly, and he didn't know if he heard two sentences, but he saw Peng Xiangming holding a business card in his hand, and seemed to immediately understand what was going on, so he hurriedly walked over and smiled, "Hello Pony, my artists don't walk the catwalk, at least not now, thank you!"

Pony shrugged, looking very regretful, but still said to Peng Xiangming: "You have my business card, if you have an idea, you must call me, you can do it at any time, it's a waste if you don't go on the catwalk!"

Then, he patted Kong Quan on the shoulder and went out.

Seeing him leave, Kong Quan sighed, quickly took out a small handkerchief, and wiped his sweat - he didn't have to wear thick clothes, and he didn't have to stand in front of the fill light, it wasn't so hot, but this afternoon, he was also busy working back and forth, sweating almost non-stop.

"Jiao'er, Mr. Zhao, let's withdraw too?"

So Zhao Jianyuan put out his cigarette and stood up as well, "Withdraw!"

When he got to the car, Peng Xiangming asked him, "What do you think of the photographer just now?"

Zhao Jianyuan smiled and said, "That's it, what else?"

Peng Xiangming laughed.

Photography is certainly not the main direction of study for a directing student, but if you want to be a qualified director, it is also necessary to know some photography, because film is originally the art of sound and light.

So Peng Xiangming and Zhao Jianyuan must have a certain understanding of photography.

No matter how awesome they are in the fashion circle, what high-end photographers and the like, they find that it is this kind of awkward style with a click on the lamp, and it is impossible for them to really give anything too high a rating.

Of course, the basic skills of others must be passing, or even relatively high, so there is nothing to criticize - the key is that the order you place requires people to do so.

At this time, Kong Quan patted his ass, "Mr. Zhao's photography skills must be very good, how about helping us take a few more street photos another day?"

Zhao Jianyuan smiled, "Okay!"

So Kong Quan immediately said: "Oh, you are here, I feel much easier all of a sudden! You don't know how busy I have been lately, how much pressure I have, I can do other things, no problem, but I really don't know anything about getting a film crew, choosing a venue, and making a script or something, I really don't know anything, and I can't even make any suggestions, and I have to rely on your help in this regard." Here you are, well, you see, I'm relaxed all of a sudden!"

Zhao Jianyuan smiled, "Let's drive your car!" and asked Peng Xiangming again, "His mouth was not so broken! Why is he now making sycophants, more and more set of sets?"

Peng Xiangming laughed.

In the evening, the two of them looked for a place to eat together, and Peng Xiangming inquired about his "prospective girlfriend" again.

It's really curious, because I've seen this kind of joke in TV series before, but I didn't expect it to be in reality, and it's not far from me.

As soon as Zhao Jianyuan returned home from vacation, he was forced to participate in a blind date.

And it's the kind where both parents all appear, and it's very formal.

The woman's family runs a high-end hotel, it is said that there are two or three five-star hotels alone, and the assets are not to mention billions, and the family background is not half a point weaker than the Zhao family.

The key family is still an only daughter, and marrying a girl is basically equivalent to marrying someone else's property.

I heard that the girl has six or seven half-sisters, but they are obviously illegitimate daughters, and compared with the big house, there is no combat power at all.

The only thing to worry about is that Zhao Jianyuan's future old father-in-law is still not dead, and he is still continuing to create people, maybe he will really be able to give birth to a son one day.

Once a son is born, even the big house is estimated to be unable to compete for the only son.

It seems that the big families are almost like this.

Zhao Jianyuan is the only son in the family, and his mother is also quite strong, but as Zhao Jianyuan knows, he has three younger sisters and a younger brother outside, and it is said that the youngest brother has just entered kindergarten.

It's just that Zhao Jianyuan is here, and his younger brothers and sisters will never be able to come to the front desk, basically they won't see the light of day in this life.

Liu Mi has a brother who has the same father and mother, so his father is outside, no matter how many women he raises and how many children he has children, he has no combat effectiveness at all.

In this situation in China, when men are not short of money, few people can really restrain the desire to sow seeds, but when it comes to family inheritance, they immediately sober up.

These families are private, Zhao Jianyuan usually doesn't want to say more, at most he chatters with Peng Xiangming, Qi Yuan knows a little bit, and he doesn't even say Chen Xuan. It's just that this time it involves a blind date, Peng Xiangming asked a few more words, and he also said a few more words.

The girl is three years older than him, has been working for two years, and works as a front desk manager in a hotel below their home, it is said that she talks and acts vigorously, and the meaning of the parents on both sides is to let them get along with each other, if there is no contradiction in the big difference, as soon as Zhao Jianyuan graduates, they can get engaged.

Zhao Jianyuan said that he didn't have any feelings for that girl, but he was not dissatisfied, if the girl didn't have any big opinions about him, there was a high probability that she would get engaged next year.

Peng Xiangming sighed with emotion after hearing this, "In this era, you big families still have arranged marriages! How dare poor people like us think of such a good thing!"

Zhao Jianyuan let out a "hum" in his nostrils, as if he was smiling, and he didn't pay attention, "You still use the bag?"

As soon as he said this, Peng Xiangming couldn't reply, so he laughed.

After a few sarcastic words with each other, the topic quickly turned to the MV.

Peng Xiangming told him about his idea of the MV of "Dream Chaser".

In fact, since the first MV appeared in this world, its only shooting direction is the fancy show singer - there is nothing wrong with this, it is to sell songs, and the show singer is of course reasonable.

Therefore, a MV, with a duration of three or four minutes, is generally a singer's awkward styling, lip-syncing, and various skin grinding and lighting, regardless of men and women, they are all pink and tender when they are filmed one by one.

Those who are good at dancing add dance, and those who can't dance are purely posing.

Most of the interior scenery is solved, and a small part of the real scene is interspersed and cut in, and it is completed.

Even a few years ago, the pop music scene had a hard time, in order to increase the publicity point and topicality, the MV had to be filmed, and many singers finished filming two or three scenes directly in order to save costs.

He sang from the window, he sang from the corner of the mottled wall, he sang from the flower bed.

After filming, mixed editing, lip-syncing, subtitles, and that's it.

I can't even spend tens of thousands.

MVs of this level are really easy to shoot, and directors with a little strength and experience can play it relatively easily.

Because of this, many directors start by shooting MVs and commercials when they can't find a job for the time being, but once they become famous, they are easily and absolutely unwilling to go back to shoot this again.

Because it's almost artistic.

For the director, it's purely something to make quick money and earn some living expenses, not to mention accumulating some qualifications for himself, and even asking for anonymity after filming, I'm embarrassed to take it out and say that I made it.

And the slightly more high-end MV will shoot a short story in it according to the meaning of the lyrics.

This has certain requirements for the script.

And once you have a story, you will inevitably have to add complex scenes, as well as invite some professional actors, group performances, etc., and the cost of all aspects will surge.

In fact, judging from the meaning of the current Daqi Record Distribution Department, Peng Xiangming only needs to shoot the simplest level of MV, which is enough to satisfy them - their requirements are simply one meaning, showing Peng Xiangming's appearance and long legs in all directions of 360 degrees.

Because they need to attract that part of the fans, they like to watch this.

But Peng Xiangming felt that since he wanted to shoot, of course he had to shoot something.

Not to mention that the better the shooting and the more content there is, the easier it is to attract everyone's widespread attention, thus forming a topic point, simply saying that as a student of the directing department, if he shoots a personal appearance show with grinding skin and lighting, he will feel a little unable to pull his face.

What's more, he is going to make his graduation short film next, and after the graduation short film is filmed, he even has a little ambition in the film and wants to prepare to make his own movie.

So for him, the MV of "Dream Chaser" should not be shot more simply, but should be more complex, because this is an excellent opportunity to practice.

Preparation, group building, scouting, casting, shooting plan, on-site scheduling, camera shooting, editing, ...... From beginning to end, although the story is small and the amount of filming is not large, every step can be done.

With this shooting experience and experience, when I go to shoot a graduation short film, or even when I make a movie in the future, it will be easier to form a small team of my own, and everything will be easier to adjust, so that I know it well and can be at ease.

For this reason, Peng Xiangming also specially wrote a script, planning to make this MV into a story with characters and plots, as well as flesh and blood, a beginning and an end.

Preliminary shooting plans, it may even be as long as seven minutes.

For a music video for a pop song, this is definitely an extravagant duration.
