Inside the studio.

Hearing He Xiao's words, Huang Jun was stunned.

He is a director from Yeluzi, not a professional class, and he does not have the professional knowledge of Fu Jinglong, but fortunately, he has been in the industry for a long time, and over the years, he has learned the basic techniques of shooting, otherwise he would not be able to mix with the position of assistant director.

And usually lives in the shadow of Fu Jinglong, is ignored by the company's leaders, and naturally wants to get ahead.

Now that Fu Jinglong is gone, he has become the only director in the crew.

At this time, when I heard He Xiao's words again, my heartbeat suddenly accelerated involuntarily.

If he can really shoot a high-quality MV, his reputation in the industry will naturally be like Fu Jinglong three years ago.

Is this an opportunity?

"Brother Huang, come on, I believe you!"

He Xiao patted him on the shoulder and said with a look of entrustment.

He had watched the MV of "Old Boy" and knew what kind of picture he wanted, but he didn't have the professional knowledge as a director, and he didn't learn any of these things, so he couldn't shoot them.

It's like cooking, he doesn't know anything about cooking, but he has a cookbook in his hand, he knows how to do it, and if he finds another chef to cooperate, then the dish will be done.

After hearing He Xiao's words, Huang Jun's heart was quite moved, no one wanted to be an assistant director for a lifetime, people go to high places and water flows low, he also wants to climb up and get out.

But although Huang Jun was moved, he still had concerns in his heart, the opportunity to get ahead was in front of him, and he had to have the corresponding strength in his hands.

He, the cook, didn't know that He Xiao was holding a recipe in his hand, so he didn't know the bottom of his heart, after all, in terms of talent, he really didn't have the two strokes of Fu Jinglong.

Without this diamond, how dare you work with porcelain?

Seeing Huang Jun's inner struggle, he sighed and said: "Xiao He, I'll be your director, but I don't have the knowledge of Director Fu, so I'm afraid I'll smash you." ”

He Xiao knew Huang Jun's concerns, and was afraid that he was not as good as the small script that Fu Jinglong created casually, so he put his arm around this old brother's shoulder and gave him a reassurance.

"Don't worry, Brother Huang, I know how to shoot my works, I have that picture in my heart, you can help me take the helm, and the wind will come to me. ”

Hearing this, Huang Jun's face softened slightly.

Since he didn't let him take the blame if he smashed it, he naturally had no worries.

"Cheng! Xiao He, how you say to shoot, I will shoot how I want!"

Huang Jun gritted his teeth, looking like he was out of the way.

After all, this is the first time in my life to shoot a MV, and the company has also invested tens of millions of funds as expenses, so it is a little pressure to put it on anyone.

An investment of 10 million, a full eight figures, he may not be able to earn it in his life.

It's hard to make up your mind now, but at the same time there's a little excitement.

It's finally a good idea.

Even if he can only be the chief director for one day, it will be enough for him to be comfortable.

A smile bloomed on He Xiao's face, his eyes looked around the film and television base, and he said loudly.

"Brother Huang, let's pack up our things, let's change the place to shoot. ”

The style of the Shanghai Film and Television Base is too old, and there are no people in the city, they are all crew members filming, and filming "Old Boy" here is nonsense.

He wants to go to the streets and alleys outside, looking for the most vibrant places, and record the life pictures of ordinary people.

At noon, it was a little overcast.

He Xiao led the crew to retreat, and five vans made a mighty move out of the film and television city.

Shi Da Hammer, who was listening to Xiaoqu sleeping at the door, was woken up by this noisy sound, and his eyes narrowed a gap to look out, and he was suddenly frightened.

"Brother Xiao, why did you finish filming so quickly?"

He wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, got down from the driver's seat, and asked He Xiao by pulling the car door.

"I haven't filmed yet, the director asked me to run away, let's change the location for filming. ”

He Xiao said with a smile, and at the same time let go of his position and invited Huang Jun into the nanny car.

Stone Sledgehammer was stunned.

What's that?

Drove the director away?

Damn, what's going on?

He listened to He Xiaofeng say such a sentence lightly, and he was confused.

But he didn't dare to ask more, put away his gossip heart, and quickly started the car and drove to the location pointed out by He Xiao with the five vans.

in the back seats.

He Xiao took out four bottles of soda from the refrigerator in the car, opened them with a bottle driver, and then distributed one bottle to each person in the car.

Bao Yuanyuan had stopped crying, but his eyes were still red and swollen, and he sat in the back row of the seat with his head down and didn't dare to speak.

Fu Jinglong really scared her, because with Fu Jinglong's status in Lejia, as long as she casually mentioned a few words to the company leaders, her little assistant could directly carry her bag and get out.

It was not easy to find such a job, Bao Yuanyuan has always taken it very seriously, and he can't believe what a blow it will be to him if he is fired.

He Xiao glanced back at her and comforted: "Don't worry, no one can fire you." ”

"Yes, it's not your fault, Director Fu was angry just now, girl, you don't have to be afraid. Huang Jun also answered on the side.

After following Fu Jinglong for so long, he knows too well what kind of temperament the other party is.

There is nothing wrong with this sentence from the heart, Fu Jinglong is fortunate to be a director, otherwise he will be a scourge sooner or later in society.

Maybe one day, you will see the lace news on TV that the "Brother Long of the gang-related group" was arrested.

After touching the Arctic Ocean drink in his hand with Huang Jun, He Xiao bypassed the topic of Fu Jinglong and began to tell him about the pictures he wanted to shoot.

The reason why "Old Boy" is popular is that its original video MV is too down-to-earth, and it vividly expresses the unattainable dreams of ordinary people, which has touched tens of millions of netizens.

He Xiao wanted to shoot the feeling of the original video, so he explained it to Huang Jun very carefully, and the other party gradually understood what He Xiao wanted to express.

To be honest, this is the first time that Huang Jun has encountered an actor telling a play to the director.

But while feeling absurd, he had to admit that He Xiao's thinking was too advanced.

Most MV style shoots pay attention to an artistic sense, and try to highlight the forced style, like He Xiao, who specializes in telling about market life, is really the first time I have seen it.

The convoy eventually stopped in front of an alley.

This is the alley, which is the hidden ordinariness behind the glamorous metropolis of Shanghai.

Some people say that this is a gathering place for the poor, and when He Xiao walked in, the air of the alley was interspersed with clothes poles, and the clothes on them fluttered like flags.

A group of people walked down the alley and saw the ordinary life of people at the bottom.

The tattered bricks were trampled underfoot, the old windows that opened outwards were filled with unfinished operas, the plain-faced woman was standing in front of the door shaking her freshly washed clothes, and her child was squatting on the spittoon in the doorway to pee.

Full of the smell of fireworks in the world.

Seeing He Xiao's group of people carrying video cameras coming, the neighbors all looked over with their heads probed.

"Hello neighbors, we are from the crew, come and borrow our small alley to shoot a scene, and if you cause trouble to the neighbors, we will pay you as compensation. ”

He Xiao took a horn from Huang Jun's hand and said as he walked.

Hearing that there was money to take, the alley resounded with a murmuring of shouts, and the neighbors all started talking excitedly.

"Anyone else came to our place to film?"

"I've seen this guy on TV, it seems to be a singer!"

"Whatever, just give the money anyway. ”

A noisy voice sounded in his ears, but no one objected, which made He Xiao and Huang Jun both happy.

Very smooth framing!

Everyone began to evacuate the neighborhood and busily set up the scene, and nothing happened in the whole process.

The sky was completely dark, and layers of dark clouds gathered overhead.

At four o'clock in the afternoon.

He Xiao was wearing a school uniform and holding a guitar in his hand, ready to shoot his first scene.

With one foot on the chair, the sound of the guitar resounded in the alley.

This shot is only five or six seconds in the MV, but He Xiao has to shoot for a few minutes, and then choose a piece of it to take a screenshot.

"Xiao He, look at it. ”

After filming, Huang Jun handed He Xiao a bottle of water, and the two of them lay in front of the monitor to watch the replay of the performance just now.

For a few minutes of footage, five or six seconds are enough to select one of the segments.

But He Xiao frowned, and his performance in this section was a little inadequate.

At least in the expression, there is no such feeling as I want.

"I'm going to shoot another one. ”

He Xiao shook his head and denied this.

"This ...... Okay. ”

Huang Jun hesitated for a moment before agreeing.

In his eyes, this section is actually very good, after all, it's just a MV, and it's not a serious movie, so there's no need to compete so hard.

But now the real speaker of the crew is He Xiao, and he can only listen to other people's arrangements.

I was not satisfied with three or four shots in a row.

Although all these shots add up to only a few dozen minutes, if you remove the time to set up the scene and restart shooting, it actually takes more than half an hour.

It's just that He Xiao didn't shout, and everyone didn't dare to complain, so they could only start over again and again.

It was getting darker, with dark clouds and thunder.

"Xiao He, let's leave it like this today, it's not a good day, it's going to rain soon. ”

Seeing that He Xiao was still dissatisfied with the shot he had just shot again, Huang Jun couldn't help but persuade.

Although it is located in the south, the temperature in winter is also very low, only two or three degrees above zero.

In addition, there is a torrential rain today, and the wind is cold, and the temperature may be even lower.

After He Xiao heard this, he stood there and was stunned for a moment, and then looked up at the sky, where lightning staggered above, shaking up most of the sky.

said that it was too late, and the raindrops the size of beans had already fallen with thunderbolts.

The little assistant Bao Yuanyuan appeared as soon as possible, held an umbrella for He Xiao, and handed it to Huang Jun by the way.

The machine is covered with cloth, which does not affect the operation, and the machine is still on at this time.

Everyone looked at He Xiao, waiting for his orders.

After all, it's raining, and it's very likely that this scene won't be filmed.

He Xiao looked up at the sky, looking at the thick lightning bolts, but the corners of his mouth slowly showed a smile.

"This rain is just in time!"

He Xiao took the bullhorn and shouted to everyone: "Take the last one, remember to shoot the thunder and rain for me." ”

After speaking, he had already rushed out immediately, and the school uniform on his body was instantly penetrated and wet on his body.

Huang Jun showed surprise for the first time, looking sideways at He Xiao.

In this era when Xiao Xianrou has to post on Weibo to ask for attention when he cuts his fingers, and he can't wait to be numb when he cuts his head, He Xiao doesn't even need a stand-in, and he drills into the rain by himself, this kind of behavior is really impressive.

You know, this is not artificial rain shower, but real rain, which is far less clean than the former.

"Attention Departments, Act 1, Scene 1, Shoot 6 Begins!"

Huang Jun knocked down the black-and-white clapperboard, which is called "playing board" in the jargon, to notify everyone to be in place.

The crowd responded, the gaffer held up the reflector, and the cameraman pushed forward.

He Xiao stood under the rainstorm, his face was full of stubbornness, rubbed his "face", and continued to play the guitar.

This time, with the help of the rain, that mood and feeling was finally created.

The first scene is considered finished.

I filmed for an entire afternoon!

Everyone didn't complain, took off their raincoats, hid under the eaves of alleys, or houses to take shelter from the rain, and waited for the sun to clear up and start filming the second scene.

The MV of "Old Boy" is divided into two parts, one is the good memories of the school days, and the other is the cruel life of the present and the vision for the future.

And the protagonist is not only He Xiao, there are also a large number of shots of ordinary people.

An office worker eating instant noodles, a barbecue stall owner wiping sweat, and a foot-washing girl crying alone......

The lives of ordinary people will be shown in this MV.

That night, there was still water on the road after the rainstorm, and He Xiao had already left the alley with the crew and went out to shoot again.

Under the bustling metropolis, their figures appear on various streets, recording every bit of life until dawn.

After a day and a night, Huang Jun couldn't hold it anymore, glanced at He Xiao, who was sitting in front of the monitor, and fell asleep in the car in a daze.

The directors are all resting, and the staff are naturally starting to get off work.

Of course, their off-duty time is the same time as someone else's work-time.

After a week like this, the shooting of the old boy's MV was finally completed.

Even Huang Jun couldn't help but praise He Xiao, a desperate young artist like him is too rare.

"Xiao He, your body is important. ”

Huang Jun looked at the finished film, and while admonishing He Xiao, he was also proud from the bottom of his heart.

Although He Xiao instructed the whole process, he also contributed a lot, after all, without him as a cook, this dish would not be possible.

With honor!

This is the first music video he directed in his life, and looking at the picture on the computer, he can already imagine what kind of sensation this video will cause after the editing, accompanied by the song "Old Boy".

Such a MV full of life is definitely the first in the industry.

Besides, this is just the first song, we have to speed up the progress, and there are still twelve more songs!"

He Xiao stretched his waist and said with a smile.

In the past few days, the crew has been running around with him, but he is tired.

It's just a MV, but it's more professional than other people's movies.

Just here when the filming of "Oldboy" is finished.

Fu Jinglong was angry and left, and finally reached Yu Xiao's ears......
