Chapter 165: Shooting a music video
Following.
At Chuncheng Airport, Li Zi'an and his entourage walked out of the VIP channel, got into the pre-arranged business car, and rushed to the main base of Huaying City.
In the last world, the eldest son of the republic of Spring City, with the advent of the 21st century, from the original big brother, to the final economic weakness, the former old industrial base can only survive for a long time.
This world is different, Spring City began to transform from heavy industry to the film industry 30 years ago, and after decades of development, the film industry has become more and more mature, and finally launched the brand of Huaying City.
The car drove on the highway, and after about half an hour's drive, Li Zi'an and others came to the main base of Huaying City.
The total base of Huaying City covers an area of more than 60 kilometers and has 27 large-scale scenic spots and film and television shooting bases.
As the business car got closer and closer, looking at the skyscrapers with high-rise buildings and the antique ancient buildings in the distance, Li Zi'an and others felt very curious.
"Good style......
Li Zi'an looked at such a grand scene, and he muttered with emotion.
Hearing Li Zi'an's emotion, Han Qian completely understood, because when she first came here a few days ago, she also felt that this place was extraordinarily magnificent.
"Qin Chao and the others are already on the side of the green screen base, and the person in charge of the special effects company is also on the other side, shall we go to the hotel first to settle down, or go straight to the green screen base?" Han Qian asked.
When Li Zi'an heard this, he groaned slightly, and responded: "Let's go directly to the green screen base, the time is tight, the task is heavy, so let's put the luggage in the car for the time being." β
Hearing Li Zi'an's plan, Han Qian nodded, and then sent the address of the green screen base to Pei Xiong, who was driving in front.
......
Ten minutes after entering the main base of Huaying City, Li Zi'an and his party arrived at the green screen base.
The design of the huge semi-circular building is full of art, and it shines in the sunlight.
In front of the semi-circular building, there is a wide garden fountain.
After a brief look, Li Zi'an followed Han Qian into this semi-circular building.
"Director Li!"
In the No. 3 green screen shooting area, Li Zi'an met many acquaintances.
Executive director Qin Chao, director of photography Xu Zhenlin and others were all there, and they all greeted Li Zi'an quite warmly.
And reunited after a long absence, Li Zi'an stepped forward and hugged them, and exchanged a few words of greeting.
"Zi'an, let me introduce, this is Qian Zhicai, the project manager of Aigu Film and Television Production Company, and he will be responsible for the production of our music MV special effects. β
Han Qian introduced a man to Li Zi'an, who was about forty years old, wearing glasses with thick lenses, and looked full of the sense of a technical IT man.
"Hello Manager Qian. β
"Hello, Mr. Li. β
Li Zi'an and Qian Zhicai shook hands with each other.
"Mr. Li, our project team has carefully studied the design and concept of the special effects you sent, and according to the budget of two million given by Ms. Han, we can achieve 70% of what you expected. Qian Zhicai said straight to the point.
When Li Zi'an heard this, his brows suddenly frowned: "Is it only seventy percent?"
Qian Zhicai nodded: "Although your music MV is only six minutes, most of them need special effects, and two million can do 70 percent, this is because you are shooting the theme of Journey to the West, and we have relatively mature templates for many things, otherwise the cost will need more." β
Hearing Qian Zhicai's explanation, Li Zi'an pondered for a moment and asked, "Then if I want to meet my 100% expectations, how much more money do I need to fill?"
"A million!"
"So expensive?" Li Zi'an raised his eyebrows: "Manager Qian, I may make films with similar themes in the future, don't kill me, if we cooperate happily this time, we will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future." β
When Qian Zhicai heard this, he smiled bitterly: "Mr. Li, I understand what you said, I really didn't kill you, this price is very sincere, there are so many special effects film and television companies here in Spring City, you can go out and inquire about the price." β
"That'...... Add a million and you'll be able to do 100 percent of the results I want?"
"Almost, not 100 percent, 98 percent, 99 percent is still completely okay!"
"How long will it take?"
"A month. β
......
Li Zi'an and Qian Zhicai chatted for more than ten minutes, and Han Qian had already discussed the specific things before he came, and now after these small details were confirmed, Li Zi'an asked Guan Yue to check that the contract was correct, and he immediately signed a contract with Qian Zhicai.
After the special effects were done, the shooting was well solved.
The whole crew moved quickly, and since many of them were acquaintances, Li Zi'an quickly became familiar with them.
......
"I play Yang Jian?" Zhao Yuchen got the script, looking at the only two thin pages, he nodded: "Okay." β
Neither Zhao Yuchen nor Song Changxun have acted, and they have at most filmed some music MVs or something before, like such a professional, and they have never tried it.
However, Li Zi'an said that they have very few scenes, and basically they don't need any acting skills, just a few scenes, as long as they can play handsome, so Zhao Yuchen and Song Changxun should come down.
After giving him Zhao Yuchen's script, Li Zi'an turned his gaze to Song Changxun.
"Brother An, what am I playing?"
Song Changxun happily came to Li Zi'an's side, just now he heard Zhao Yuchen playing Yang Jian, and he was immediately envious.
This is a character who can fight with Sun Wukong for 300 rounds, super handsome!
"Ouch, here's your script. β
Li Zi'an handed Song Changxun's preparation to Song Changxun, which was also thin with only two pieces of paper.
Song Changxun took the script and couldn't wait to read it.
"Tianpeng?" The smile on Song Changxun's face gradually stiffened, and he raised his head to look at Li Zi'an a little dumbfounded: "Zhu Bajie?!"
"Poof......
Looking at Song Changxun's expression, Zhao Yuchen couldn't help but be happy, and Song Changxun's resentful little eyes suddenly glanced over.
"It's Tianpeng, not Zhu Bajie, you play the Marshal Tianpeng who is in charge of the 100,000 water army in the Heavenly Court, holding the Baoqin Golden Palladium, super handsome. Li Zi'an smiled and comforted.
"Really?"
Hearing Li Zi'an say this, Song Changxun was a little skeptical, and simply looked at the script, and found that it was really as Li Zi'an said, and he immediately became happy.
"Brother An, what are you playing?" Song Changxun asked curiously.
"Me?" Li Zi'an replied with a smile: "Of course it's the Monkey King." β
When Song Changxun heard this, he blinked his eyes, suddenly straightened his stomach, and pretended to be naΓ―ve and said, "Senior brother, the master has been captured by monsters!"
"Hahaha......"
Li Zi'an and Zhao Yuchen were amused by Song Changxun and laughed.
......
Following.
The music MV officially started filming.
Li Zi'an got up from bed at four o'clock in the morning and came to the lounge of the green screen film and television base, and Xiao Qianru began to put on special effects makeup for him.
Looking at himself in the mirror, he changed his appearance little by little, and Li Zi sighed with peace of mind.
You get what you pay for, and this sentence makes sense at all times.
Xiao Qianru's skills really didn't say anything, and the money was too well spent.
It took three hours for special effects makeup, and by the time Li Zi'an put on his costume and walked out of the lounge, it was already eight o'clock in the morning.
With Li Zi'an's order, the entire crew quickly moved.
......
"Split!"
"Stay safe!"
"Very good!"
......
"Prop ready!"
"Let's go!"
......
"The canopy is in place!"
"Yang Jian is in place!"
"Be careful!"
......
"This shot should be layered!"
"Hurry up and lay the shooting track!"
......
The busy crew life makes time fly.
While busy filming the music MV, Li Zi'an, Zhao Yuchen and Song Changxun did not forget the rehearsal of the fourth phase of the kicking stadium match.
In the past two weeks, Li Zi'an seems to have screwed on a clockwork, and he is busy every day, and the workaholic energy makes Zhao Yuchen and Song Changxun a little frightened.
Finally, on the 12th day of coming to Spring City, the music MV was officially completed.
