Chapter 130: Post-Production
Three weeks of recording, two weeks of shooting the MV, when Xiao Yao completed the shooting of the second MV, the rare five-weekend month of September had also come to an end. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ The MV of the last song of info was arranged for the final shooting because the actors, scenes, and even props and costumes involved were much more complicated than the first two songs, because it was already the National Day holiday at this time. Xiao Yao has a whole week's vacation, and he doesn't have to deliberately rush to complete it in two days.
At the same time, Zhedong Satellite TV's "The Voice of China" also broadcast the penultimate episode of the final four seats. TV viewers have already seen Xiao Yao with a song "Courage" that performed on the same stage with Sun Tingting to abuse a dog and a handsome erhu "Flower Field Wrong" successively eliminated two beautiful female students and entered the final finals. The final finals will be broadcast on October 5 during the next weekend, that is, during the National Day holiday, and there will be countless viewers waiting in front of the TV to enjoy the final showdown of the four students who entered the finals.
At the end of the last episode, Xiao Yao jokingly told the host Chen Nan that he would try to use his own original songs in all the later competitions, but not too many viewers took it seriously. Because many viewers noticed the two words of try in Xiao Yao's words. But when this episode of the show came out, and the two songs sung by Xiao Yao were all original songs that they had never heard, the audience felt that Xiao Yao would probably have to participate in the competition with original songs in the finals.
Everyone still remembers that when the matter of Xiao Yao's girlfriend broke out during the blind audition, although Xiao Yao officially announced the fact that he already had a girlfriend with a picture of a "childhood sweetheart" on Weibo, there was still a debate about Xiao Yao's girlfriend on the Internet. At that time, some netizens talked about the question of whether Xiao Yao and his girlfriend were compatible, and even involved Zhu Zitong, who had never met Xiao Yao at all. Xiao Yao didn't respond at that time, but look at this song "Courage", is there a better response than this?
Let's not talk about how the two of them openly abused the dog on the stage in alternative couple costumes with interlaced colors, and how Sun Tingting, who played the violin, and Xiao Yao, who sang on the stage, looked at each other affectionately. Just listening to the lyrics "Love really needs courage to face gossip," is enough to represent Xiao Yao's counterattack against their relationship skeptics. At the same time, it also represents from another aspect, this song was written by Xiao Yao in the twenty days between the blind audition broadcast and the recording of the semifinals. With his ability to speak with songs in real time, it is completely expected that two or three more original songs will come out in the finals.
In the eyes of the media, in these two episodes of the program, except for one choral song in Xiao Yao's five songs, the remaining four solo songs are all original songs, or Chen Yuhan's self-exposure of Xiao Yao helping her save her words and then offering a grateful hug, as well as Sun Tingting and Xiao Yao's co-performance and eye interaction on the stage of the show, no matter which point is extremely topical, so it is normal for a wave of intensive reports about Xiao Yao's wonderful performance in the show to appear again after the blind audition broadcasts Xiao Yao's three musical instruments played at the same timeγ
However, no matter how hot the media and the Internet were, Xiao Yao continued his work as planned. After the National Day holiday, Xiao Yao devoted himself to the MV shooting of the third song - "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky".
The content of this MV is roughly about four friends who have been close since high school, who have embarked on different life paths after graduation, in their respective societies, rushing around for life, experiencing the highs and lows of life, and getting together again when they are most lost, drawing strength from each other, rekindling their fighting spirit, and facing life with hope.
The protagonists are three men and one woman. Although the three boys have a good relationship, their respective characteristics are very different, one is a gentle and elegant scholar, the other is a talented musician, and the other is an extraordinary basketball player. When Ye Jiaying read the script, she once laughed and said that Xiao Yao had divided his three skills into three different roles. Generally speaking, the latter two are the types that girls like more in school, but here it is the top student and the gentle and generous girl who like each other. The music talent and basketball player did their best to help the school bully chase the girl, and the two were brought together.
Throughout high school, there were not only romantic and sweet scenes of school tyrants and girls studying together, but also scenes of the other three cheering off the court when basketball players were fighting on the court, and the other three shouting loudly in the audience when the music talent participated in the campus singer competition.
The camera changed, Xueba was admitted to a prestigious university as he wished, and after graduation, he entered the workplace, and he also reaped the success of his career after working hard, and after a period of time, he also started his own business, but while focusing on his career, he also ignored the relationship between the girl who had been with him all the way since high school, and the girl proposed to break up with him. The departure of his girlfriend did not shake Xueba's determination to struggle, but unfortunately the world is impermanent, and Xueba's career has also suffered a huge blow, and a rash mistake in decision-making not only brought the company he founded to the brink of bankruptcy, but also made him stand on the edge of the roof.
The music talent impressed the record company with his outstanding performance in the campus singer competition, and after graduation, he signed a contract directly into the entertainment industry. With his excellent musical talent, he soon became a popular fried chicken in the music world, released albums, held concerts, and was in the limelight for a while. However, after a period of time, he also encountered a low point in his life after encountering a creative bottleneck, and the whole person was also decadent.
The performance of basketball athletes on the campus court is not enough for him to become a professional player, and he has no choice but to engage in coolie work at the bottom of the society, as a hard-working decoration worker, delivered couriers, and also worked as a takeaway brother who shuttles through the wind and rain.
The plot does not tell about the ups and downs of the girl's career, but it uses her perspective to string together the three boys after graduation. Girls have seen fans chasing musical talents from afar, and they have also staggered with basketball players who deliver food on the road. At the end of the MV, the girl who had broken up for a while inadvertently wandered to the school of the year, and sent a text message to the three of them asking for a party. It was this text message that pulled back the school bully standing on the edge of the roof, and also brought back the decadent music talent who was nested in his music room, and the basketball player who had been worried about his livelihood also showed a long-lost smile after seeing the text message.
Later, the four of them sat in Xueba's car together and galloped to the outskirts of the city. The four of them laughed and talked in the car, as if they had returned to the carefree life on campus. Xueba seems to have regained his self-confidence, the decadence on the face of the musical genius has disappeared, and the basketball player's brow, which is locked because of deep sadness, finally stretched.
In the end, the four of them parked the car on a wilderness, and the four people who got off the brisk car also had sunny smiles on their faces. At the end, the four of them stood next to the car, looking up at the brilliant starry sky overhead.
There is friendship, love, the pursuit of dreams, the struggle in career, and the ups and downs of life. A song that is more than four minutes long, even if some of the scenes in the opening part do not add the music of the song, the whole MV is only stretched to more than five minutes. To express so much content in such a short period of time, the only way to take a jumping shot editing and explain some of the most important pictures with the most concise shots is no wonder Ye Jiaying wanted to adapt it into movies and TV series as soon as she saw this plot.
Among the three boys, Xiao Yao plays the basketball player, and he is also the most difficult actor among the three boys. Whether it is the need to show standard basketball movements in basketball games when they are students, or the working state of low-level manual workers after entering the society, they are all more demanding than the performances of the other two roles.
For the other two roles, Ye Jiaying invited two young newcomers in the entertainment industry who are very good-looking to perform, although Xiao Yao doesn't know each other, but he has seen their names in entertainment news. And the actor who plays the heroine is Xiao Yao's old acquaintance.
"Cheng Xi, aren't you already a new popular little flower now, why do you still deign to come to shoot the MV?" Xiao Yao looked at Cheng Xi who appeared at the MV shooting site in great surprise.
"What kind of popular little flower, I'm still early," Cheng Xi said with a smile, "How can you use the word 'condescension' to describe me in front of you." Didn't I see that I happened to be free recently, so I came to pat the ass of your prince, and by the way, I borrowed your MV to boost your popularity. I recommended myself to Sister Jiaying and came to help for free. β
"It's free, my mother isn't so picky, is she?" Xiao Yao smiled, and then his face changed, "Wait, your name is sister, I'm called mother, aren't you taking advantage of me?"
"That can't be helped, who made you her son. Cheng Xi smiled and spread her hands, "She said she didn't like me to call her boss, I can't call her aunt, right?"
"Uh..." Xiao Yao was speechless for a moment.
The director of this MV has changed again. This director was originally born in MV, but in recent years, he has been successfully promoted to a TV series director. Therefore, it is easy for him, who has both TV drama shooting experience and MV shooting experience, to direct this plot-based MV. Of course, if it weren't for Ye Jiaying and Xiao Siqi using their personal relationships, I'm afraid I wouldn't have asked the director, who has already gained a firm foothold in the TV drama circle, to come back and shoot the MV again.
The director is professional enough, among the four actors, Xiao Yao is needless to say, Cheng Xi is now also a quasi-Xiaohuadan with good acting skills, and although the other two leading actors are newcomers, they are not pure vases without acting skills, so although this MV is more complicated, after all, because of the overall length of time, no matter how many shots there are, there are no more, so the shooting went smoothly.
In just three days, Xiao Yao completed the shooting of this last MV. Due to the large number of shots that need to be edited, the post-production time of this MV is also a little longer than that of the first two. After spending two days with the director to participate in the post-production of the MV, Xiao Yao's three newly filmed MVs were finally completed.
For the three MVs, Xiao Yao all participated in the post-production. Following three different directors, editors, and soundtrack artists to observe and learn the post-production of the MV, Xiao Yao also started the post-production of the MV with the reset audio of the selfie video "Lazy Song" by himself. This video is shot with a high-definition camera, there is no problem with the picture quality, Xiao Yao has the video file in his own hand, and he doesn't need to re-edit, just reconfigure the audio with better sound, so it is not difficult for Xiao Yao to do it, and he took the opportunity to put into practice the knowledge and techniques he learned about how to match audio and video.
