"Haha~" After listening to Xiao Yao's words, many people at the scene laughed. Now more than 100 people are sitting or standing in this parking lot, most of them are still dressed in black and masked, and outsiders may really cause some misunderstandings when they see them.

"Woo~woo!" Before everyone's laughter fell, two sirens sounded from the gate of the parking lot. Xiao Yao, who was standing on the roof of the bus, turned his head to look and found that there was really a black-and-white patrol police car with a siren and drove to the door of the parking lot and stopped.

"Wow~" Hearing the sound of a siren, the people at the scene shouted in surprise. However, their expressions were not afraid, only surprised and excited.

These guys are not afraid, Xiao Yao didn't want to cause trouble, so he hurriedly greeted: "Nathan! Take your people on the bus under my feet! And the twenty-four people who have received my emails also get on this bus! The others, who want to go to the onlookers, get into their own cars, and we will leave immediately!"

"OK~" a group of people responded.

"Keith, please send someone to explain to the police officer at the door, I don't want the police to think that we have done something bad and run away, there is a group of police cars chasing us on the way to the filming location!" Xiao Yao jumped off the roof of the bus and said to Keith Craig.

"Okay," Keith Craig nodded, "I know what to do." ”

When the two uniformed patrol officers who came to check after receiving a notification from the command center drove outside this parking lot, they had already seen a lot of black-clothed and masked guys gathered here, and they were also shocked. As soon as they opened the car door and got out of the car, they saw that the group of people had gotten into the car, looking like they were about to run, and they couldn't help but feel a little nervous while looking confused. Fortunately, before they could press the radio on their shoulders to report to the command center, a young man took the initiative to explain to them the situation in the parking lot.

I heard that an actor recruited by a MV crew gathered here, and those black-clad and masked costumes were all character costumes, and the two patrol officers breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing dozens of cars rushing out of the parking lot, the group of black-clothed and masked guys quickly disappeared, and the parking lot became empty.

The two patrol officers parked the police car at the door of the parking lot, and as soon as they got out of the car, they ran into the staff of the filming team who came forward to explain the situation, and they also stood next to the police car and did not go in. There is only one entrance and exit to this parking lot, so everyone who comes out of the parking lot has to pass by the police car and the two police officers, and you can clearly see the expressions on the faces of the two police officers. Seeing the stunned expressions on the faces of the two police officers, some guys couldn't help but scream in the car. I feel that just by seeing the expressions that confused these two police officers, it is worth it for them to come out this time!

The long line of motorcades drove out of downtown Los Angeles and headed for the filming location introduced by Keith Craig. Xiao Yao also drove out by himself this time, but when he came out of the parking lot, Xiao Yao did not drive by himself, and gave up the driver's seat to Keith Craig, who was more familiar with the road and was going to drive with him, and he sat in the co-pilot seat with a camera.

"Keith, slow down a little!" As the convoy left downtown Los Angeles and drove onto the open road on the side of the mountain in the suburbs, Xiao Yao said to Keith Craig, pressed the skylight overhead, stood up with the camera, drilled his upper body out of the skylight, and filmed the road ahead.

"Hey, Young, what are you doing?" shouted Keith Craig, startled, slowing down.

"Shoot some footage. There were some shots on the highway, Xiao Yao saw that the road in front of him was suitable, and their car was leading the way in front, and there were no vehicles in front of him, so he took some pictures by the way.

This scene in the MV is not long, Xiao Yao sat down after filming for a while, closed the sunroof, and re-fastened his seat belt.

"You even do the work of a cameraman?" Seeing Xiao Yao sitting back, Keith Craig raised the speed again and asked Xiao Yao, "If you are not the starring actor in this MV, you will not even save the cameraman?"

"Yes!" Xiao Yao nodded, "Actually, there is no cameraman for my MV for "SingMeToSleep", which was shot by myself with a handheld HD camera by myself and a few friends. And I'm the number one cameraman, and as long as I'm not in the lens, the camera is in my hands. ”

"You—" Keith Craig shook his head speechlessly.

In this MV, the scene with the most actors is not in the city, but in the mountains, so Xiao Yao did not enter the town at the foot of the mountain, but asked Keith Craig to take the team directly to the filming point on the mountain.

After arriving at the destination, Xiao Yao quickly entered the working state, instructed Pei Minyi to distribute costumes to more than 30 people who came without character costumes, and began to survey the scene himself, directing the staff to set up equipment and arrange the camera.

After the preparations were ready, Xiao Yao gathered all the actors and told everyone about the general plot of the MV and the content to be filmed in the morning. Since there are so many free actors, Xiao Yao has made some small changes to the plot in line with the principle of making the best use of things, and increased the number of characters in several shots. Especially the last scene where a large group of people stood on the top of the mountain overlooking the town at the foot of the mountain, Xiao Yao simply put all the more than 100 people in the future into the camera.

At the end of this collective scene, everyone collectively pulls down the masks on their faces, but this is a long shot, and it is impossible to see everyone's faces at all, so it is not much different from not showing their faces at all. But in addition to the long shots of this group scene, there are also close-ups of a few people pulling down their masks, which will completely expose their faces.

Xiao Yao first asked the actors who were willing to show their faces, but it turned out that there were few people in this group who were shy and unwilling to show their faces, and they all wanted close-ups. So Xiao Yao picked a few handsome, beautiful, and different actors from the twenty-four people he replied to emails to shoot close-ups. Xiao Yao had emphasized in the video before that most of the actors would not show their faces, and they had already said hello in advance, and those who were not selected by Xiao Yao for a close-up at this time had no reason to express their dissatisfaction.

Except for the last group shot, the shots of several members running on the mountain are relatively scattered. When Xiao Yao took his own shot, Xiao Yao explained the angle of the cameraman's shooting and then went to perform in front of the camera, the cameraman still has a certain amount of room to play, when other people were running in groups, Xiao Yao explained the actions to the selected actors, and he kept standing by the cameraman's side, directing the cameraman's shooting throughout the process.

Keith Craig didn't act, he was a spectator the whole time. Looking at Xiao Yao at work, Keith Craig couldn't help but sigh: "Oh my God, this guy is really looking more and more like a director!"

Xiao Yao once helped the "Daydream" band design and participated in the material shooting of the "Sugar" MV, and Keith Craig's family also participated in the shooting of Xiao Yao's music video for "American Airlines Broke My Guitar".

But that's not the end of the story. After shooting some footage, Xiao Yao moved a drone out of the trunk of his car.

"What is this for?" asked Keith Craig curiously.

"There are some overhead shots in the MV that look down from the air," Xiao Yao laughed, "I don't have the money to rent a helicopter, so I use a drone with a wireless HD camera to shoot." ”

"You said earlier, I'll rent it for you!" Keith Craig complained in his heart, but he didn't say anything, just asked, "But you also need professional skills to shoot with a drone, right?

"I," Xiao Yao said with a smile, "I'll do it myself." ”

"Is there anything you wouldn't do?" asked Keith Craig, glaring.

Xiao Yao smiled, did not answer Keith Craig's words, installed a high-definition camera on the drone, operated the drone to take off, and first took some overhead shots that were just landscapes.

Next, Xiao Yao explained the movements of some other selected actors in a few shots, and then operated the drone to start shooting aerial overhead angles. At this point, even the videographer has nothing to do.

After a busy morning, Xiao Yao finished shooting all the shots on the mountain, and the time was almost noon. Xiao Yao did not lead the team back to Los Angeles, but took everyone into the small town at the foot of the mountain for lunch.

In one of the town's squares, there was a food truck parked, which Xiao Yao asked Keith Craig to contact in advance. According to Xiao Yao's promise in the video, he will be in charge of the actors' lunch, and the dining car is the dining car that prepares lunch for everyone.

Since Xiao Yao is expected to be only thirty-six actors, plus some staff members of the filming team, a total of forty or fifty lunches were prepared in the dining car. Although he prepared some more in case of accidents, the number of extra ones was also limited, and he would definitely not be able to satisfy the more than 100 people, Xiao Yao could only give priority to the actors he had invited in replying to the email, and the extra ones would be given to those who came with him, as for the dozens of people who did not receive lunch later, they could only solve it by themselves.

In this regard, those who came to watch by themselves did not complain, and went out to forage for food by themselves. This made a few restaurants that didn't have a lot of traffic make a small profit.

After lunch, Xiao Yao led the team to take a short rest, and by the way, he waited for the onlookers who went to solve the lunch by themselves, and waited until everyone regathered, Xiao Yao led the team back to Los Angeles.

This MV is not only in the mountains, but also in the city. And parkour is originally a sport suitable for the city, due to the constraints of environmental conditions, the characters' actions on the mountain are mainly running, parkour action is not much, the real parkour action is displayed, mainly in the lens of the urban environment.

After returning to Los Angeles, Xiao Yao took everyone to a parking lot again. However, this time it is not an open-air parking lot, but an indoor parking lot with a relatively remote location and relatively few people and cars.

"Next, we're going to shoot in this parking lot. After getting off the car, Xiao Yao stood on the roof of the car again, clapped his hands and announced to everyone, "For the afternoon shooting, I don't have a specific action design, everyone just plays parkour here, whoever has beautiful and wonderful movements, I will shoot down whose actions and put them in the MV."

"Because everyone is still wearing the costumes they wore during the morning shooting, I only have two requirements," Xiao Yao raised two fingers and continued, "One is that everyone should have a pause in the middle when playing, take out their mobile phones and take a look, but I don't make specific requirements for when to pause and how to look." Everyone also listened to me talk about the general plot in the morning, and you should know that I need you to look at the map on your phone. The second is to try to work in groups of two or three, with a little interaction in between. As for how to interact with each other, I don't have specific requirements. This is also a plot need, and I think you can all understand how to do it. ”

When filming in the mountains, although Xiao Yao also gave the actors some freedom, the neatness of the movements, the speed when running, the formation, and the movement still gave everyone a rough framework. And back in the city, Xiao Yao didn't have any specific action design except for two requests, allowing these parkour enthusiasts to play freely.

Xiao Yao's decision immediately made the hundreds of people cheer. Xiao Yao posted a video looking for parkour enthusiasts, but he was running in the mountains in the morning, and he didn't have any chance to show his parkour skills, and everyone began to wonder why Xiao Yao had to find someone who could parkour to shoot this MV. At this time, I heard that parkour was free for everyone to play, and when I had the opportunity to show my parkour moves in front of everyone, everyone was naturally enthusiastic.

In the next two hours, the park originally had the meaning of parking lot, and the parking lot was one of the most suitable places to play parkour. So during this time, Keith Craig and the staff in the shooting team were also eye-opening, and they were amazed and amazed!

"Okay, everyone should have had a good time!" More than two hours later, Xiao Yao, who had filmed far more material than was needed for the MV, stopped those who were having fun.

"No!" shouted a crowd. The shooting of this MV can be regarded as a group activity for parkour enthusiasts, in addition to having fun, everyone also met a lot of like-minded new friends with each other, and most of them felt a little unsatisfied.

"Okay, then you can continue to play here," Xiao Yao smiled, "but our afternoon shooting is over, and we're leaving!"

"Wait!Yang, you haven't told us yet, are you the Y in the YRF?" Hearing that Xiao Yao was leaving, some people shouted again. In the process of filming, many people have taken advantage of the gap in filming to ask Xiao Yao, but Xiao Yao has been avoiding answering, and when he heard that he was leaving, many people remembered this stubble again.

"You'll know, but not now!" Xiao Yao smiled and shook his head.

"Huh~" Some people booed in dissatisfaction.

"Okay," Xiao Yao raised his hands and began to change the topic, "The filming of our MV has basically been completed, but it is not all over yet. Do you remember what I told you this morning? I also need selfies of people in front of the camera wearing hats but not masks and operating computers. If you are willing to show your face in the MV in this way, please send me the picture of your selfie within two days, or send it to the email address published in the video. Also, as I said, there's no guarantee that everyone will show their faces, so I'll still choose from the videos you send me. ”

"Goodbye, everyone, it's been a great day with you today!" Xiao Yao finally waved goodbye to the group and got into his car.

"I've never seen you shoot a MV like this," Keith Craig in the driver's seat saw Xiao Yao get into the car, and joked with a smile, "I still have a little left for others to shoot for you!"

"Hehe, you won't see it now. Xiao Yao smiled indifferently.

"Is all of our filming done?" asked Keith Craig, "where now?"

"It's not completely over," Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "I still have to shoot some shots of me operating the computer to issue summoning orders, but this doesn't need a shooting team, I can do it by myself." ”

"Also," Xiao Yao continued, "I didn't leave a little bit of this MV for others to shoot for me, there were some shots from other cities, I asked netizens abroad and other cities to shoot it for me and then send it to me." I've received a few videos yesterday, but the results are not ideal, I'm going to go out at night to do something, take a sample and put it on the Internet for their reference!"

"Let foreign netizens shoot a video and send it to you to make the material for the MV?" Keith Craig glared and repeated, "I've never seen you shoot a MV like this!"
