Chapter 148: Heading to Paris
The song "Five Hundred Miles", although it is a Chinese folk song, does not necessarily have to go to the United States to shoot.
After all, crooked nuts are about the same length, and they can be filmed in any European country.
recalled the plot MV of this song when it was used as the theme song of "Drunken Country Folk", and He Xiao began to prepare.
Take out a notebook and write and draw on it, and start making a list of the things you need.
Although it has not yet reached the day of filming abroad, everything is planned and planned in advance.
And for the remaining eleven MVs, the filming process will also be accelerated.
Fortunately, most of the songs can be filmed indoors.
For example, in the original video MV, the singer just stood in front of a wall and sang into the microphone.
The photographer uses black and white colors to highlight the pompous feeling.
The cost of filming has been reduced a lot.
So over the next few days, the filming process began to move forward significantly.
In the blink of an eye, two weeks have passed.
The shooting of the Chinese song MV in the first album has finally been completed, and only the last song "Five Hundred Miles" has not yet been produced.
The location of the filming also adopts Huang Jun's plan, which will go to the world's most famous romantic capital - Paris, France for shooting.
He Xiao gave the crew three days off, had a good rest, poured the jet lag in advance, and will leave on time in three days.
......
......
Yanjing.
He Xiao typed the correct answer on the combination lock, and with a ding-dong, the door opened.
The sweet potato is squatting at the door, watching, meowing.
The cat's sense of hearing and smell is quite sensitive, and it heard it when He Xiao opened the door.
However, it thought that it would be Zhang Xuran who came in, because the landlord's sister was taking care of the cats these days, and it didn't expect that it was his little master who came back.
In the world of felines, there is no such thing as going out to work, they regard their owners as their parents, and usually when the owner goes out to work, they will think that they are going out to hunt.
And if the shovel officer doesn't come home for a few days, then the cat will be very sad.
They will think that the shoveler has failed in the hunt and died outside.
So after seeing He Xiao "come back from the dead" at this time, the chubby cat face of the sweet potato was full of shock, with a slumped expression.
It wasn't until He Xiao changed his slippers and hung up his clothes that the stupid cat came back to his senses and sniffed around He Xiao's trouser legs, as if to confirm his identity.
"Sweet potato, do you miss me?"
He Xiao took it in his arms, and suddenly the fragrance of shower gel wafted into his nostrils.
He Xiao was shocked at the time.
Sweet potatoes have never been so fragrant since they were adopted!
So much so that He Xiao was extremely surprised at this time, wondering if he had hugged the wrong cat.
He buried his whole face in the sweet potato's body, greedily smelling the fragrance of the shower gel on the sweet potato's body.
It's a familiar taste, a bit like ...... Zhang Xuran?
Putting the sweet potato on the ground, He Xiao came to the cat paradise on the balcony to take a look, the automatic drinking fountain and cat food bowl were clean, and there was a fresh and delicious imported cat food inside, and there was an open box of canned cat food next to it.
"I can't see that Zhang Xuran, this guy is quite good at taking care of small animals. ”
He Xiao had a smile on his face, girls are just different from men, even if it is a girl who is full of foul language, she is far more careful than boys in taking care of small animals.
Just as I was thinking about visiting the landlord and thanking my landlord sister, there was a sound of the door opening.
I saw Zhang Xuran walking in in pajamas with excitement written on her face.
"Sweet potato baby, look at what flavor of cat fresh strips I bought you today......"
Her face revealed a strange aunt's smile, as bright as a chrysanthemum blooming in autumn, until her eyes met He Xiao's body, and the whole person froze.
"When did you come back?"
Zhang Xuran's face turned red, put away the appearance of the tram idiot-girl just now, and looked at He Xiao with disgust.
A "you are not welcome in this home" expression.
This made the corners of He Xiao's rather speechless mouth twitch a little.
Which brain did I get on the wrong side to give birth to the idea of thanking this woman......
Silently shaking his head to throw this terrifying thought out of his mind, He Xiao sat on the rocking chair and said, "I just came back, and I will leave the day after tomorrow." ”
Most of the artists' schedules are relatively compact, and Zhang Xuran is also used to seeing the head and the end of his star tenant, so he didn't say much.
She only has sweet potatoes in her eyes now.
With a face full of disgust, he passed by He Xiao, and then hugged the sweet potato and stroked it wildly.
He Xiao basked in the sun, looking at this scene, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise a smile.
The cat is still alive, the old friend is still healthy, and his career is thriving.
Life is so wonderful.
took out his black mobile phone and opened the English learning software in it, He Xiao lay on the rocking chair and memorized grammar words.
Although his English is good now, he is self-taught, and there are still many places to continue his education.
Now that I am about to go abroad, I will definitely not have time to learn French, so I can only improve my English level.
Grinding guns in battle, if it's not fast, it's light.
With the grammar of words in his mouth, the passage of time began to speed up imperceptibly, and in a blink of an eye, it was dark.
Zhang Xuran had already left and didn't disturb him studying, while the sweet potato was sleeping at his feet.
The interior of the house was not lit, it was a little dim, only the street lamps outside the window reflected in, illuminating several corners of the living room.
In the empty room, the sound of He Xiao reading words alone was left, and after a long time, there was a protest in his stomach, and He Xiao withdrew from the state of study.
This black phone is simply so easy to use, just by virtue of the fact that it is not forgotten, it is enough to call it an artifact, which can make thousands of students blush.
Learning is like hanging up, and you can't stop.
And as the black phone was in He Xiao's hands for longer and longer, he learned more and more techniques, and he dabbled in a wide range of techniques.
Starting with the drum kit at the beginning, and then moving on to acting skills, singing skills, spoken English, piano skills, guitar skills......
Even in his spare time, He Xiao read several books and learned a lot of writing and script writing skills.
Now that he is knowledgeable, he is afraid, and when it comes to music, he can definitely be called a master.
The only thing missing is an opportunity to take off.
It's like "The Voice of Dreams".
He Xiao wanted to go to the next level, and he could only find one such pedal again.
Otherwise, you can only slowly boil up your qualifications, rely on releasing records, appearing in variety shows, and winning music awards, and improve your status little by little.
It's hard to get ahead without three or five years.
It may even take about ten years to become a king.
And before that, no one would pay attention to him, just like Fu Jinglong, who always regarded him as a newcomer.
This place in the entertainment industry is too particular about seniority, although the master is the teacher, but if you don't have a decent resume, others will not admit that you have real skills.
Fu Jinglong's appearance made He Xiao realize that his coffee position was not big enough, he was only standing at the starting point of the vast star journey, and the road ahead was still long.
"I can't eat when I stop throwing cups, I draw my sword and look around!"
Standing in front of the window and looking at the bright moon, I felt a sudden sigh of emotion in my heart, and muttered a word to the sky very gently, then cooked a bowl of noodles, and went back to the bedroom to sleep obediently.
......
......
The English special training of grinding guns in the battle has increased He Xiao's self-confidence abroad.
And in the past three days, He Xiao's jet lag has also adjusted.
Early in the morning, assistants Bao Yuanyuan and Shi Dazhui came to Yanjing to help He Xiao pack his luggage, and then rushed to the airport together.
Huang Jun and several other crew members were already waiting there early.
Their flight this time was from Yanjing Airport to Paris Daygo Airport, a total of 11 hours of flight.
This journey is not exhausting, He Xiao They are all rough people, and they have even taken the green train that has been running for more than 20 hours and has a difficult environment, so this is naturally not a problem.
Of course, in terms of duration, this is indeed the longest plane He Xiao has ever ridden.
However, the comfort level of the business class he took was okay, and the price of a ticket was about 20,000.
As for the first class, it is more expensive, more than 60,000 yuan, He Xiao felt a little distressed about the money, so he didn't let Bao Yuanyuan buy it.
He is rich now, but he can't be such a loser, more than 60,000 is indeed too expensive, it is purely for the enjoyment of money.
If a piano costs more than 60,000 yuan, he will buy it without saying a word, because it can be used for a long time.
But the ticket is still counted, just one flight, 11 hours, it's not worth it.
There were a lot of international friends on the plane, and He Xiao got together with Shi Dazhui and Huang Jun, playing poker in a low voice, so as not to be said by others that he had no quality.
The excitement and anticipation of Paris when I first got on the plane has dissipated a lot with the rush of the long journey.
There were many people in the cabin, and He Xiao didn't dare to take out his black mobile phone to play, so he had to kill time by playing cards.
Although there is no difference between a black mobile phone and an ordinary mobile phone, the content inside is indeed different, and for the sake of insurance, He Xiao rarely takes it out in public.
"Pair two. ”
"King Bomb!"
He Xiao looked up at Shi Da Hammer, and said with a puzzled expression: "He is the landlord, we are in a gang, why are you blowing me up?"
"I forgot......" Stone Sledgehammer scratched his head and said with a look on his face.
Huang Jun burst out laughing, he could already see that He Xiao, a stupid big driver, couldn't play landlord fighting, and he had already won hundreds of dollars in this moment.
"Xiao He, stop playing, brother is afraid that you will lose your wife. ”
Huang Jun patted He Xiao's shoulder, looked at the last 50 yuan pressed under his card and comforted.
"Brother Huang, you underestimate me too much! I often said one sentence back then: Chen Daozai can win 37 million yuan with 20 yuan, and I He Benwei can win you bankruptcy with 50 yuan today, it's not a problem!"
He Xiaolai lost his temper, rolled up his sleeves, shuffled the cards, and snapped his fingers to the passing waiter: "This flight attendant, please pour a cup of cappuccino for my friend's sledgehammer." ”
This sentence He Xiao said in English, which was quite standard and authentic, so that the blonde flight attendants couldn't help but be impressed.
Huang Jun didn't understand what He Xiao said about "Chen Daozai", his attention was on He Xiao's fluent English, and he was surprised.
Although he knew that He Xiao went to Paris this time to give him the English song "Five Hundred Miles", he had never heard He Xiao speak English in reality, and this was the first time.
It's so authentic!
In the current domestic entertainment industry, stars who can speak English so fluently like He Xiao are even rarer than giant pandas.
The nickname given to him by netizens is really right, this is indeed a treasure boy, and there are always different surprises to present to everyone.
The boring journey on the plane gradually passed in the boring pastime of He Xiao and a few others.
At 5 p.m. local time, after a long journey of eleven hours, the plane finally entered the French confines and landed at Charles de Gaulle International Airport in Paris an hour later.
This year's Europe has been exceptionally cold, with minimum temperatures reaching minus 10 degrees Celsius and even a few heavy snowfalls.
When He Xiao and the others walked out of the airport, a cold wind blew, dispelling the heat on their bodies, and they instantly felt a lot of energy.
"This is Paris, it's beautiful!"
The little assistant Bao Yuanyuan spun around on the ground, very excited, and his beating pace was the same as Angela who stole the blue buff.
Shi Dazhui, Huang Jun and others also lit up, and began a man's effective braggadocio move - pointing the country.
In particular, the middle-aged man Huang Jun is one of them, and no matter what he sees, he can point out a few words of past history, giving people a very knowledgeable appearance.
In fact, everyone was so immersed in the novelty of his first arrival in Paris that no one paid any attention to him.
Only Shi Dazhui listened very seriously, no matter what Huang Jun said, he kept nodding on the side.
He Xiao let out a sigh of relief, when he arrived in Paris, he finally didn't have to cover his face with a mask, and no one knew him in this place.
Walking on the street, the return rate is basically zero.
Compared with China, the popularity here has been directly emptied.
The first time I went abroad, I didn't understand anything, He laughed at their team of more than ten people, and they kept tossing and turning at more than nine o'clock in the evening before they successfully checked into the hotel.
The location is good, close to the Arc de Triomphe and the Eiffel Tower.
Everyone was tired from the journey, and He Xiao gave a two-day vacation, one to rest, and the other to contact the extras and learn about the local filming situation.
It wasn't until the third day of arriving in Paris that the filming of the "500 Miles" MV was officially launched.
He Xiao decided to shoot according to the version of "Drunken Country Folk", which happened to have two heavy snowfalls in Paris recently, and the environment fit well with the original MV.
The filming went so smoothly and the local actors were very cooperative, and it took less than a week to complete the whole thing.
Before leaving, He Xiao gave everyone another three days off, so that they could relax and relax, and don't come in vain and leave regrets.
Bao Yuanyuan was the first to jump on his feet happily and spent two days walking through all the attractions in Paris, such as the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe, the Louvre, Notre Dame Cathedral, the banks of the Seine and so on.
He Xiao took the camera and played in Paris alone.
Here, he doesn't have to worry about the paparazzi's tailgating, and he doesn't have to cover up, and he has a rare self-release.
After walking through many attractions, he came to Paris's Chinatown, which is also the largest and most Chinese Chinatown in Europe.
Not only are there many Chinese shops here, but you can also see eye-catching Chinese characters everywhere, as well as red lanterns that symbolize Chinese traditions.
Not long after the Spring Festival, Paris's Chinatown is lit up in a festive and peaceful atmosphere.
Not only can you buy a variety of Chinese favorite food, but also traditional Chinese buildings, and even the newly built apartments look like Chinese apartments, which is in stark contrast to Parisian-style buildings.
He Xiao strolled through the middle of the street and was eventually attracted by a Chinese bar.
There's an event going on inside its store titled "Chinatown Concert."
The following introduction states that this bar is a gathering place for overseas Chinese music lovers, and everyone who loves music is welcome to visit.
As a musician, He Xiao is naturally quite interested in gatherings in the circle.
In addition, he was born as a bar singer, so he had a feeling of meeting a soulmate in a foreign country, so he took a step and walked in......
Zhang Xuran
"Paris, I've only seen it in movies. ”
He Xiao also has the same longing, he has lived for more than 20 years, he has never been abroad, and he is full of curiosity about life abroad.
