Chapter 216: Old Sow Wears Bra (1/2)
After Chen Minhao and Kang Hui took their seats, Wu Hongrong beckoned the waiter and said, "We're all here, please start serving." ”
The restaurant's main dish is Kyoto roast duck, but other Kyoto specialties are also available, and the service is good and the service is served quickly.
"Well, this thing is delicious, what is it called?" After Director Xu An ate one, she immediately went to clip the second one.
Wu Hongrong said with a smile: "This is called donkey rolling." ”
Xu An lifted his glasses and praised: "This donkey rolling is very delicious, every time I come to the mainland to shoot, I always feel that I have to gain a lot of weight." With that, she immediately went to clip the third.
Wu Hongrong laughed and said: "No matter how delicious the donkey rolls, don't eat too much! We mainly eat Kyoto roast duck for this meal, if you eat too much now, you won't be able to eat it when the Kyoto roast duck comes up." ”
After Xu An rolled the third donkey into his stomach, he nodded slightly and said: "You are very right! That's the truth, if you eat too many pre-dinner desserts, it will lead to not being able to eat the main meal.
Although I have never made a music video in the past, I also know that the MV itself is for music, and we need to use music and camera to move and infect the audience, and if we add too many plots and dialogues, it will become a micro-film. Isn't it like this meal, I was supposed to eat Kyoto roast duck, but because I ate too much donkey rolling, I was overeating, and this is putting the cart before the horse!"
Wu Hongrong was dumbfounded, crying in his heart: I'm just afraid that you won't have the stomach to eat roast duck, how can you fight with points and infinitely diverge to "attack" my idea of using a meal?
Chen Minhao silently caught himself a donkey and rolled around, he decided that he would eat more and talk less for this meal tonight. Xu An's divergent ability, the routine is too deep, and he will be taken to the ditch if he is not careful.
Wu Hongrong's mouth was open for a long time, he didn't spit out a word, he couldn't think of how to refute it all of a sudden, he turned his head and saw Chen Minhao who was eating fragrant, and after snorting lightly in his heart, he said:
"Xiao Chen, do you remember what I told you about my dad before you recorded the song yesterday?'Father's love is like a mountain, and if you forget the world, you won't forget to love you' I think this is a good starting point, what do you think?
Xu An and Kang Hui put down the chopsticks in their hands and looked at Chen Minhao with their eyes like torches, Chen Minhao felt that the temperature in the private room suddenly increased by several degrees, and he felt that his back began to sweat.
"The story told by Mr. Wu really touched me, but I think what Director Xu An said also has some truth, and there will be no dialogue scenes in ordinary MVs. ”
Wu Hongrong cast a contemptuous look at Chen Minhao, and secretly cursed "white-eyed wolf" in his heart.
Chen Minhao thought for a moment and added: "But I don't think that for ordinary MV shooting, we can't invite a big director like Director Xu An, and we also found Xingxi and Teacher Xing to star in this MV." I am very happy and feel lucky to have the two teachers join, I think this may be the highest specification of the MV shooting, and the quality of the MV will not be bad in the end.
But it's precisely because of the joining of two big teachers that I think it would be a pity to shoot and produce MVs according to the conventional methods of the past. After all, our production lineup now is far beyond the average MV team.
Maybe we choose to add a little plot into it, and there may not be good market feedback, after all, innovation means risk. But I think that as an artist, it is necessary to do some innovation when the conditions allow. “
Xu An frowned, thought for a while and said: "Although Xiao Chen is very young, this sentence is good, as an artist, it is necessary to make some innovations when conditions permit. Let's take a bold attempt. ”
Wu Hongrong gave a chicken paw to Chen Minhao, he nodded with satisfaction, thinking: Although Xiao Chen is not good-looking, he talks like an old sow wearing a bra, one set after another.
Kang Hui quietly gave Chen Minhao a thumbs up in her heart next to her, she knew that the artist Chen Minhao she brought was more capable of pulling, but she never thought that he could pull to such a point, if she didn't understand his temperament, she would almost believe in his evil. Well, you can also bring him to meet with some investors in the future, maybe it will work wonders.
Xu An took a sip of water and added: "To be honest, I haven't filmed a MV myself, and I never thought I would shoot a MV. The reason why I agreed to shoot this time is because I owe Xiao Wuzi a favor, and on the other hand, this song really touched me.
Since you said that you want to innovate, then we will add a small narrative fragment, but how to shoot it is up to me, Xiao Wuzi, if you dare to point fingers, I will leave immediately. Did you hear that?"
Wu Hongrong said happily: "Good, good, good!"
Xu An looked at Kang Hui and asked, "What is the budget of your company to shoot this MV?" I am here to help, and it is an experimental shooting, I will not charge this time, you can just eat and drink."
But like other actors, lighting, drama and venue fees all cost money, and these money cannot be saved. ”
Kang stroked his hair: "You came all the way from Xiangjiang to shoot, you are enthusiastic about the ancient road, but we can't let you help in vain, as for the cost, you don't have to worry, because we hope that this MV can become a high-quality product, the return on investment of this MV is what we care about, but we value the social impact of this MV more." ”
Director Xu An said excitedly: "You are a very good agent and have a sense of social responsibility, unlike many entertainment companies in Xiangjiang, who only know mercenary. ”
Kang Hui smiled like a flower, Chen Minhao felt that this was the first time she had heard such a compliment, and probably the only time in her life - from a wonderful misunderstanding, Kang Hui said that the social impact should be the increase in her popularity and popularity, while Xu An thought she was talking about a sense of social responsibility.
However, Xu An's excitement is not unreasonable, her main direction is literary films, most of which are popular or not. She has won numerous awards and "trained" countless actresses, but her box office has not been able to go up and is not favored by investors.
Kang Hui smiled and said, "Please give me your assistant's contact information, if you need us to make preparations, let your assistant tell me, we can do it, we will fully cooperate." ”
Xu An waved his hand and said, "Just call me directly, I don't usually need an assistant, I can take care of myself." I'll wait until I go back to the hotel to sort it out, and then I'll send you the preparations for the shoot, and we'll start work tomorrow. ”
