Xiao Yao agreed to his father to record his first album the day after that, and his senior year of high school officially began. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Compared with elementary school and junior high school, Xiao Yao is much more low-key and restrained in high school. At least since he was in high school, he never taught himself other foreign languages in his Chinese and English morning reading classes, or read fashion photography magazines in his arms during recess. On the one hand, the knowledge of high school is more difficult, not as basic as elementary school and junior high school, and it has been imprinted into Xiao Yao's memory in his previous life, and he does not need to spend time learning again. On the other hand, it is also because after entering high school, Xiao Yao does not have the same desire to learn other foreign languages or photography knowledge as he did in elementary and junior high school. So although Xiao Yao entered high school as a star, in high school, he behaved more like an ordinary student than in elementary and junior high school.

In school life, Xiao Yao behaved step by step, focusing on his studies like an ordinary high school student. But in his free time on weekends, Xiao Yao focused all his energy on his new album.

Xiao Yao himself has a lot of experience in the recording studio, and the lyrics and arrangements are all handled by himself, and he doesn't need to spend time memorizing lyrics and scores like other singers, so simple recording does not require Xiao Yao too much energy to prepare. His energy is mainly focused on the script creation of the MV.

was mentioned by Xiao Siqi, Xiao Yao's heart was really interested in writing the script, and he wanted to write the script of the MV by himself with great interest.

Eleven songs, of course, not all of them will be filmed in the MV. According to Xiao Siqi's idea, the initial plan is to shoot the MV of the three songs, and then retain the image in the video of "Lazy Song" that Xiao Yao released on Weibo before, and rematch it with the sound effect of the official version, which can also be used as an MV after synthesis. In this way, the MV of four songs on one album is enough.

As for which three songs to shoot in the new MV, Xiao Siqi gave the choice directly to Xiao Yao himself, and let him decide which three songs to shoot. In other words, it depends on which three songs he plans to write MV scripts for.

In this way, Xiao Yao also had to think hard about which three songs to choose to shoot. After some consideration, and the inspiration he got from some of the music videos he had seen in his previous life, Xiao Yao finally selected three songs and wrote a preliminary shooting idea.

The first song he chose to shoot the MV was the first song he Xiao Yao wrote under his own name - "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky". This song is an inspirational rock song with a bit of melancholy. Since it is an inspirational song, Xiao Yao is ready to take the struggle and feelings of young people as the theme, and design a small group of four people with three men and one woman as the protagonist, from the student days to the various stages of life and feelings after entering the society to express the inspirational flavor of this song. At the same time, Xiao Yao is also preparing to play one of the small groups of four.

The second song selected is the most special and the most impressive song on the entire album - "The New Concubine Drunk". For this very special song, Xiao Yao's MV script is not so special. Xiao Yao's MV does not plan to shoot an ancient story of Yang Guifei. Because the most brilliant and eye-catching part of the whole song is the singing voice of the Beijing rhyme, Xiao Yao directly linked the MV of this song with Peking Opera. He plans to shoot some clips of Mei Qingchang's students learning Peking Opera, interspersed with some pictures of Tsing Yi performing in Peking Opera, in this way to express the connection between this song and Peking Opera, and at the same time, it can be regarded as doing some publicity for Peking Opera. In the MV of this song, Xiao Yao is ready to show up from beginning to end.

In the MV of the first song, Xiao Yao is one of the leading actors, and Xiao Yao, the MV of the second song, does not participate in the performance at all, and in the MV of the third song, Xiao Yao is ready to play alone. The last song Xiao Yao decided to make an MV for was the folk song "Those Flowers". Such a song that can remind people of the era of fluttering white clothes, Xiao Yao plans to fully show a young style. The MV of the whole song has no plot, it is all spliced together by the singer, that is, Xiao Yao, who plays and sings by himself in various environments, which can be said to be a stream of consciousness. The most important thing in it is whether you can find a few scenes designed by Xiao Yao, and whether you can shoot the picture beautifully.

The Chinese name of the MV is a music video, which involves both music and performance, and is also a rare project that requires the cooperation of the music department and the performing arts department of Qijia Studio. Therefore, when Xiao Yao took out the three MV shooting plans that he had spent a lot of time and effort polishing, the reviewers were not only Xiao Siqi, but Ye Jiaying was also one of them.

"This is the MV shooting plan I wrote. At this time, the three members of the Xiao family were sitting on the sofa in the living room of the house, and Xiao Yao handed what he wrote to Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying. Because the MV of one of the songs has no plot at all, the word script is not used, but it is said to be a shooting plan.

"You're very fast, it's only been two weeks, and the idea of the MV of the three songs is available. Xiao Siqi smiled and opened the stack of bound papers in his hand.

"The recording of the album is almost finished, and the shooting of the MV should be on the agenda, so I'm not too fast. Xiao Yao said, "You take a look at it first, talk about your feelings, if it doesn't work, you have time to make revisions, and if it doesn't work, you have time to find a special MV screenwriter to rewrite it." ”

After two weekends and a total of four days, Xiao Yao's new album has been recorded with eight songs, and now only the most complex soundtrack and the most difficult song to sing, "The New Concubine Drunk", has not been recorded, but in the case that the musicians have been contacted in place and the accompaniment has begun to be recorded, Xiao Yao can take up to one more day to complete.

"No, no, such unconfident words are not like what you say. Xiao Siqi teased Xiao Yaodao.

"Okay, let's take a good look at your shooting plan, it's the first time Bayi has done this, and it's also for the sake of prudence. Ye Jiaying slapped Xiao Siqi and said.

"Uh... I don't feel this anymore, it's mainly up to you to judge. I only judge the quality of the finished product after it is photographed. Read the script... Shooting planning is not for me, I don't have the imagination of you actors to turn words into clear images in your mind. Xiao Siqi spread his hands and said. But having said that, Xiao Siqi still lowered his head and looked at it seriously.

After a while, Ye Jiaying and Xiao Siqi finished reading it and looked up at Xiao Yao together.

"How's it going?" Xiao Yao said a little nervously. In the past, Xiao Yao studied for at least a period of time and started to do it when he was fully prepared. This time Xiao Yao wrote the shooting plan, but it was the first time to do something that he was not familiar with his own imagination, so it was understandable that he was not so confident.

"It's not bad," Ye Jiaying nodded with a smile and commented, "Three music videos, completely three different styles." The most special song "The New Concubine Drunk" is filmed in the most conventional way, which is decent. But because the song is special enough, the MV doesn't need to be particularly surprisingly filmed. "Those Flowers" doesn't see anything, it's a pure stream of consciousness, it mainly depends on the selection of scenery and the shooting techniques of the director and photographer. Whether you can shoot the picture beautifully is the key, and this is good to judge when you get the finished product. Well... You have to find a director and cinematographer who are more powerful in this area to shoot this. ”

Ye Jiaying pulled out one of the shooting plans that most resembled the script, and continued: "But what I am most interested in is the MV script of "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky", the theme is very interesting, and the plot design is also very attractive. I thought I could expand the story a little bit, or even make it into a movie or a TV series. Are you interested in changing it into a movie or TV script? When the time comes, I will leave you a main character, write and act by yourself, and it will be very good to say. ”

"Mom, are you an occupational criminal?" Xiao Yao smiled bitterly, "We're discussing making an MV, why did you suddenly get involved in movies and TV series." ”

"I don't think there's a problem," Ye Jiaying said with a smile, "The shooting plan for these three MVs is like this first, I'll keep it first, and after we contact the director of the MV, I'll show this to the director again and listen to the director's thoughts, but I don't think there should be any big problem." ”

"Siqi, what do you think?" Ye Jiaying asked again, looking at her husband again.

"I said I don't have a problem. Xiao Siqi spread his hands and said, "Anyway, I only participate in the later production of the soundtrack and the final review." On the question of how to shoot the image, you can just make a decision. ”

"Okay, that's it. Ye Jiaying clapped her hands, turned to Xiao Yao and said, "Now let's discuss the issue of adapting the script, do you think it's better to change this story into a movie or a TV series? Or a movie and a TV series each have a version?"

"Mom, it took me a long time to write the MV script for these few minutes, and now you let me write a movie script or two hours and I don't know how many hours of TV script? Not to mention whether I can write it, I am a senior in high school this year, do you want me to spend all the weekends of my junior year of high school writing scripts?" Xiao Yao shook his head with a wry smile.

"It's also important to study, and it's important to rest. Ye Jiaying nodded.

Xiao Yao was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but he didn't expect Ye Jiaying to continue: "But I always feel that you have talent in this area, and you can't just waste it." And your studies have been very good, it's been half a month since the start of the third year of high school, and I haven't seen you spend more time studying than usual when you're at home. Except for going to the studio on weekends to record, I spend the same time in the evenings playing musical instruments and photographic equipment, how do I feel that you are getting lazy?

"What?" Xiao Yao glared and complained in his heart, "This is still my own mother... Well, it's true that it's not my own mother, but is this still the stepmother who has been cherishing herself for ten years and is afraid that she will be tired?"

"My son is now a person who has a girlfriend," Xiao Siqi said faintly on the side, "His current mind is probably on Duo'er." ”

"Oh," Hearing Xiao Siqi speak, Xiao Yao's heart suddenly had a hint of understanding. Ye Jiaying's performance is probably also related to the fact that she has been spending her time on music recently. In the past two years, in addition to participating in a variety show as a guest and taking a group of promotional photos of the national men's basketball team, whether it is forming a band to win the Oscars when he goes to the United States, or participating in "The Voice of China" and releasing an album after returning to China, it is all related to music. In terms of acting, he hasn't filmed for several years. I haven't shown any obvious interest in acting recently, but if it was a script written by myself, would I not want to act? When Ye Jiaying said the words of self-writing and acting just now, it seemed that she was talking very seriously.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yao was also speechless for his parents. He has long seen the secret war between parents in the direction of his future entertainment career, it used to be his grandfather Xiao Chengru and his father Xiao Siqi, and now he has added a Ye Jiaying, who is also on the same front as his grandfather Xiao Chengru. Since it was said that it was a secret war, they naturally said that they had not clearly said or asked Xiao Yao what to do, and they always used the way of guidance and the tone of discussion, so Xiao Yao pretended not to know and cooperated with them. Now it seems that the more they play, the more interested they become.

"Actually, I didn't say that you should write all the scripts alone. I also know that you haven't written a script for a film or television before, and you don't have much experience in this area. Ye Jiaying and Xiao Yao discussed, "You see if this will work, I will find a special film and television screenwriter to adapt it with your MV as a framework, and the final screenwriter will also have your name on it." ”

"Is this to let me take advantage of me?" Xiao Yao frowned.

"Of course not, knowing that you are not the one to take advantage of such a situation. Ye Jiaying said, "I mean, you don't need to do the writing by hand, but you participate in the writing process of the script as the original creator of the story, and keep in touch with the adapted screenwriter at any time, such as providing some advice, or wanting to bridge together, the plot or something, you tell the screenwriter your thoughts, and he will make specific improvements." In this case, the script is also completed by you, and your final signature is justified. And in the process, you can also learn some knowledge of writing scripts from those professional screenwriters and accumulate some experience. In the future, if you have a new story, a good idea, and then you want to write your own script, it will be easier, how about this idea?"

"It's a really good idea. Xiao Yao's heart was moved. I have a lot of plots and episodes of excellent film and television dramas in my previous life, tell the screenwriter directly, and let him improve the content in the script, so that you don't need to spend too much time and energy on your own, and you can also follow the professional screenwriter to learn the writing of film and television scripts by the way.

"Well, I agreed. Xiao Yao thought about it for a while, and finally nodded, "But there is a condition, you have to wait until the filming of the MV is over." ”

"Of course. Ye Jiaying said happily, "I'm not Zhou Papi, I want you to spin around." ”

Xiao Siqi rolled his eyes helplessly on the side. (To be continued.) )
