Chapter 145: Filming the MV Storm

Shanghai Film and Television Base was founded in 1992.

It is a comprehensive tourist area that focuses on film and television shooting services and has the functions of sightseeing, cultural entertainment, leisure and vacation.

He Xiao got out of the car and saw a series of bluestone ancient roads leading to the depths, and on both sides of the street were all kinds of antique buildings, some from the Republic of China period and some from ancient times.

The little assistant Bao Yuanyuan came over and put on a coat for He Xiao and led him towards the film and television base.

At this time, the holiday has not passed, there are not many tourists, and the Shanghai market is still in an "empty city" state.

There are only a few sporadic crews in the base who are filming, most of which are anti-Japanese war dramas and spy war films.

He Xiao walked through an old Shanghai-style street, the buildings on both sides are full of the style of the last century, and there are trams in the middle of the road, as if traveling back to the Republic of China, the stormy Shanghai Tang.

"This street is so familiar, it's ...... What is the black phone in that world?"

He Xiao stood in front of a police station, feeling that the scene in front of him was quite familiar, and then suddenly remembered that this was the place where the axe gang stabbed the enemy at the beginning of the movie "Kung Fu".

That's where the phrase "come out and wash the floor" was shouted.

It seems that this is another place parallel to the world of black phones.

The movie "Kung Fu" is very good-looking, whether it is the design of the plot or the skills of the actors, it is by no means comparable to the current little fresh meat.

If there is a chance in the future, maybe I can remake it in this world.

Walking in front of the police station, He Xiao walked all the way to the place agreed with Director Fu Jinglong.

In front of an ordinary dilapidated house.

The staff was already setting up the venue, and a few vans were parked next to them, loaded with various equipment.

In front of the house, a comfortable rocking chair was placed, and Fu Jinglong was sitting on it to rest.

He looked to be in his early fifties, with a slightly pale temples, but he was born with large shoulders and a round waist, a single oblique eyelid, and a pair of eyebrows flying upward.

Judging from his face alone, this person is very fierce and seems to be difficult to get along with.

"It's Xiao He, right? Introduce yourself, I'm the assistant director of today's MV, Huang Jun. ”

Just when He Xiao was standing on the edge of the crew and watching, a middle-aged man in a leather jacket took the initiative to greet him, and politely stretched out his hand and said.

"Hello director, I'm late, I'm sorry. ”

He Xiao took off his sunglasses and shook hands with him politely.

"It's okay, we just arrived. ”

Huang Jun didn't care too much, his face was full of smiles, and he looked in Fu Jinglong's direction: "I'll take you to see Director Fu." ”

"Good. ”

He Xiao followed behind the assistant director, and at the same time beckoned to the little assistant, who walked a few steps quickly and put the tea in He Xiao's hand.

"Director Fu, He Xiao is here!"

Huang Jun bent down and introduced in his ear.

He Xiao took two steps forward with the tea leaves, "Director Fu, when we meet for the first time, a small gift is not a tribute." ”

Fu Jinglong sat firmly on the chair, drooping a face, and after glancing at the tea in He Xiao's hand, he snorted with his nose.

That attitude is the same as that of 80% of directors in Huaguo, full of the meaning that there is no one in their eyes.

The scene was a little embarrassing, and He Xiao had no choice but to put the gift on the small table next to him.

The assistant director hurriedly smiled awkwardly: "Xiao He, I'll take you to change your clothes." ”

"Excuse me, Brother Huang. He Xiao nodded, in contrast, the assistant director's attitude was much kinder.

The two of them left Fu Jinglong's territory one after the other, and Huang Jun explained to He Xiao in a low voice:

"Brother Jing is a big director, it's normal to be a little arrogant in your heart, don't go to your heart, be accommodating. ”

As he spoke, he also handed He Xiao a soft Chinese in his hand.

"I know, director, it must be a little majestic. ”

He Xiao expressed his understanding and rejected the assistant director's cigarettes.

Since he signed with Lejia, he has been strictly controlled by Yu Xiao and has basically quit smoking.

Even if you can't stand the addiction to smoking, you can take up to two puffs of e-cigarettes to satisfy your cravings, and you usually try not to touch it if you can.

A self-disciplined person is truly free, and only by separating his body from his soul can he succeed.

Seeing that He Xiao didn't smoke, Huang Jun didn't force it, thought about it, pinched his cigarette, and then led He Xiao into the house of a film and television base, where a row of clothes was hung.

"You change your clothes first, I'll go out and set up the scene again, and we'll start filming later." ”

Huang Jun put a manuscript on the table, instructed He Xiao again, and said, "This is a small script, you can read it later." ”

"Good. ”

He Xiao nodded, closed the door after Huang Jun left, and prepared to start changing clothes.

In fact, the embarrassment of the hot face and cold ass just now made He Xiao feel a little uncomfortable, but he didn't have the slightest solution.

After all, people are directors, and most of the people with this status are high-spirited or have weird tempers, and it is still rare to find such a kind director as Yanjing Spring Festival Gala.

And this was invited by Yu Xiao from the film and television department with a lot of effort, for the sake of Yu Xiao's face, he should bear with it first.

Life is not easy, and it is not the first time He Xiao has encountered this kind of thing, this kind of thing, just get used to it slowly.

I took the prepared garment from the hanger, it was quite long, gray-colored, and there were a few buttons on the side.

He Xiao frowned.

Isn't this the clothes of the Republic of China?

If he remembers correctly, today's shooting is the MV of "Old Boy", why did he get it to the Republic of China? What kind of script is this?

He Xiao didn't wear that dress, grabbed the small script left by Deputy Director Huang Jun just now, squinted his eyes and read it.

Shooting a music video is different from a movie, and most of the main story lines are carried out in accordance with the lyrics of the songs.

So the small script is not an adjective, but really small, a total of half a page, hundreds of words, and I can read it in two eyes.

Then, He Xiao was stupid.

The scene he is going to shoot today is actually a story of traveling back to the Republic of China, playing a little person at the bottom, and climbing up step by step.

Even in order to show shock, there is a spy war scene in the middle.

Isn't that?

It's exactly what "Old Boy" wants to express, donkey lips are not horses' mouths!

He Xiao frowned, he couldn't shoot such a script.

I don't want to be able to shoot something new, but I can't be so sloppy, right? It's far from the original song MV of the black phone.

Pinching this small script full of perfunctory taste, He Xiao came out of the changing room with a calm face and strode towards the center of the venue.

Fu Jinglong was still lying in the rocking chair, eating cherries absentmindedly, and a drama attendant next to him helped him pinch his shoulders and beat his back.

"Eh, Xiao He, why haven't you changed your clothes yet?"

Xingse, an assistant director who didn't know what machine he was carrying in his hand, hurriedly passed by in front of He Xiao, and then was stunned for a moment, took two steps back and asked.

"Brother Huang, I can't shoot this plot! it's not the same as the emotion I want to express at all!"

He Xiao's finger clicked on the script and put forward his own ideas.

"Don't make a fuss, what do you want to do with Director Fu personally shooting the MV for you? ”

Huang Jun stopped He Xiao, for fear that he would touch the moldy head of the great director.

But He Xiao didn't give Huang Jun face this time, and he never gave in:

"Mr. Fu Jinglong is indeed a senior director in the industry, but I always have the right to participate in the creation of my songs, right?

"Old Boy" is He Xiao's starting work, and he can't watch this song that carries his dream being treated perfunctorily.

It was originally a dream song set in a modern city, but it was made into the rise of the little people in the Republic of China, which was completely different.

The adaptation is not a random fabrication, the joke is not nonsense, Fu Jinglong did this to apologize to fans across the country.

He Xiao doesn't want to be able to shoot the depth in the original MV, but he can't tolerate being ruined like this.

So this time I didn't give face to the assistant director, and went directly to Fu Jinglong, who was still resting.

"Director Fu, I think there's something wrong with this script!"

Hearing He Xiao's questioning voice, Fu Jinglong, who was drinking tea slowly, glanced at him with his eyelids slipped, "What's the problem?"

"My song is set in a modern city, not the Republic of China, and this is a song with the theme of dreams, what I want to express is the life of every ordinary little person, and the vision and expectation of the future. ”

"I think your script is very problematic!"

He Xiao seriously discussed the theme of "Old Boy" with the senior director in the industry, but the other party just looked at him without any reaction: "You mean, the crew has been preparing for so long, and you want us to change places and shoot again?"

"Director Fu, I respect you, but I hope you can also respect my work and your profession, do you want to continue to shoot the wrong scene? I haven't heard of any great director who will shoot the wrong work, but for a shot that can be repeatedly shot for more than ten days, just to keep improving. ”

He Xiao responded not to be outdone, in his own works, he could not make concessions.

Fu Jinglong was stimulated by this sentence, his wrinkled old face shook and slapped the table heavily.

"You are a newcomer to the company, and you dare to teach me a lesson? When I cooperated with Wang Yusheng, you hadn't made your debut yet!"

Fu Jinglong is actually cold and irritable in addition to his own personality, but also that he has some anger today.

Because since three years ago, after he filmed Wang Yusheng's first MV, he became famous and became a model in the industry, and his reputation started at that time.

Since then, he has become Wang Yusheng's queen MV director and reached a long-term cooperation.

During this period, he also filmed works for many kings of the same level, so invisibly, his status was also established, and the people who corresponded with him were all top celebrities in the circle.

And this time, the task assigned to him by the company turned out to be a director for a yellow-haired boy who had just debuted, or during the Spring Festival, and the New Year would not stop, and he was naturally dissatisfied.

As a top director in the industry, how could he not understand the meaning of the song "Old Boy"? The reason why he is filming like this is purely lazy, or that he does not pay attention to He Xiao.

It's okay to want to shoot the breath of life, but I'm too tired, and I can't finish it without three or five days of filming.

And thirteen songs, if the premiere shoots like this, I don't know how many months after this work is over.

So he found a local film and television base in Shanghai to shoot and shoot, planning to fool around casually.

The theme of Shanghai's film and television base must be related to Shanghai Beach, so it is all the architectural style of the last century, and he wrote a script for the Republic of China.

In his opinion, he, a director who cooperates with the king of heaven, is willing to bend down to write the MV for a newcomer, how can the other party have an opinion? How dare he have an opinion?

It's an honor to be willing to shoot for you!

Therefore, now when he saw He Xiao refuting him, he suddenly felt frustrated and angry.

He Xiao can understand his feelings, some people are indeed like this, after making achievements in an industry, they are not interested in newcomers who have just entered the industry, they will not take it seriously at all, and they will always rely on the old and sell the old with the attitude of their predecessors, and guide the country.

But if Wang Yusheng and Zhang Ya are here, not to mention the ninth day of the new year, it is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve to let Fu Jinglong shoot the MV, and he has to come!

In the final analysis, it is still not big enough for my coffee seat.

He Xiao looked at the irritable Fu Jinglong in front of him, and said calmly: "Director Fu, I respect you as a senior, so I put forward my opinions on your kind words, not to mention that this is my song, as an original, it is very reasonable and reasonable for me to participate in the adaptation of the MV, right?"

Fu Jinglong sneered, "That's you from other directors, in my place, you are not qualified! You can act how I shoot, don't ask me to shoot if you are not convinced!"

In fact, he also knew that he was too perfunctory today, and He Xiao was telling the truth, but how could he admit this kind of thing?

So at the moment, he put down such a sentence like a scoundrel, trying to make He Xiao dumbfounded.

He is the director, the soul of the crew, and he can't shoot when he's gone.

Fu Jinglong flicked his sleeves and turned around, and it happened that Bao Yuanyuan passed by with half a cup of hot water in his hand, and the two collided directly by surprise, which made him, who was already in an unhappy mood, immediately pointed to his nose and scolded: "Little girl, she doesn't have long eyes when she walks? Which department are you? I opened you!"

Fu Jinglong's five big, three thick and one big man, although he collided with Bao Yuanyuan, but he didn't have anything to do with himself, but the petite Bao Yuanyuan directly let him hit a heel, and the water was sprinkled on himself.

At this time, when he heard Fu Jinglong's fierce words, his eyes immediately turned red with fright, and he stood up and kept bowing and apologizing.

She is just a little assistant, she is a famous director, and she can't afford to offend.

Although the mistake itself is not her, it is Fu Jinglong who walks carelessly, but he is stronger than others, and she can't help it, and her tears are falling down.

When He Xiao saw this scene, he suddenly burst into a nameless fire.

He doesn't believe that a MV director can still go to the sky?

After immediately walking over and pulling Bao Yuanyuan down, a pair of sharp eyes swept over Fu Jinglong.

"Director Fu, she's my assistant, if you open your mouth, you're going to fire her, it's a little unreasonable, right?!"

Fu Jinglong saw He Xiao doing it against him everywhere, and he was also angry, pointing at He Xiao's nose and scolding: "Housheng, are you determined to fight against me?

"Then you don't have to bother. ”

He Xiao's body was in front of Bao Yuanyuan's body, not giving an inch.

People who don't respect others don't get the respect they deserve.

The MV of "Old Boy" must not be treated perfunctorily, this is the principle and the bottom limit.

"Okay, I'll see how you shoot when I'm gone!"

This MV must not be able to be filmed, Fu Jinglong turned around angrily and left, and the crew members who stayed behind looked at each other and were silent.

"Alas, Xiao He, what do you say you are provoking him? ”

Huang Jun saw that things had come to this point, and he also sighed, and walked over and said with a sad face.

He Xiao usually doesn't offend people, and his temper is quite good, but now he really can't see it, and people like Fu Jinglong deserve to be scolded.

Besides, isn't it just a MV?

Countless pictures of the original MV of "Old Boy" flashed in his mind, He Xiao was determined and looked back at Huang Jun.

"Brother Huang, are you interested in becoming the chief director?"
