Xiao Yao's first task of the new year was to shoot the MV for "SingMeToSleep". Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The music style of this song is similar to that of "faded", and the MV style of the two songs in the previous life is also the same, and in terms of plot and story, the two can be said to be a continuation. After Xiao Yao brought these two songs to this world, whether it was music or MV, there was no change in style, only the singer who sang and the shooting location of the MV changed.

In his previous life, the MV of "faded" was filmed abroad, and Xiao Yao didn't want to go abroad to shoot a MV, so he changed the filming location to Yanjing. The MV of "SingMeToSleep" in his previous life was filmed in Hong Kong, although Xiao Yao can't go to Hong Kong Island in this life, he also did not plan to shoot in the original place in his previous life, but placed the filming location of this MV in Shencheng. On the one hand, it is for the convenience of the vicinity, and on the other hand, Xiao Yao feels that the current Shencheng is no worse than Hong Kong Island. Whether it is the dazzling night view of the modern city lined with skyscrapers, or the old-fashioned, civilian life and street scene, there is no shortage of Shencheng. He believes that in Shencheng, he can also shoot the taste of confusion, exploration and searching.

On the first day of the new year, Xiao Yao wandered around the streets and alleys of Shencheng, looking for suitable shooting scenes. Although he studied and worked in Shanghai for a total of more than ten years in his previous life, and in this life, including his previous visits to take pictures, art exams, and recently studying in Shenju, Xiao Yao's total time in Shencheng has also exceeded four months, and he is definitely not a stranger to the city, but in order to find all the suitable scenes in the MV, Xiao Yao still spent a whole day. Next, Xiao Yao wants to complete the filming of this MV as much as possible in the remaining two days of New Year's Day holidays.

The MV of the song "SingMeToSleep" planned by Xiao Yao is the same as in the previous life, there is only one version, unlike "faded", which has two versions of the MV, a special string version and a pure electronic version. The plot of the MV continues the story of the electronic music version of "faded", and the theme is still searching. Although there are no singers and string players in the video for the strings of "faded", it is not a one-man show like the electronic music video.

The music video for this song has been replaced by three protagonists, two men and one woman, wandering around different locations in the city in search of them, and bringing them together according to the clues given to them by three people of different professions in the city. So in terms of actors, Xiao Yao has to find two more protagonists and two to three actors in addition to himself.

In terms of the heroine, Xiao Yao plans to let Gong Chen act, anyway, the faces of several protagonists in the MV picture have not been completely and clearly exposed, and it doesn't matter who you use. As for the other actor, Xiao Yao simply asked Lin Qisan to help, brother, don't use it in vain.

The other is the three people who provide clues, that is, the three actors in the MV. In the original MV, these three people are a beggar on a pedestrian bridge, a taxi driver, and a master at a printing shop. Xiao Yao felt that the actors and scenes of the printing shop master were difficult to find, so he made some changes to the three people who provided clues and replaced them with a street performer, a taxi driver and a young old-fashioned grocery store clerk. Xu Yuan and Shazhou, who happened to be free and stayed in Shencheng during the New Year's Day holiday, and Nina Aiyiguli played these three roles.

In the original MV, the three protagonists are masked, the beggar wears a hat with his head down, the taxi driver only shows an arm that passes the clue paper, and only the printer shows his whole face. In Xiao Yao's shooting plan, the three protagonists are still masked, but these three dragon sets all have face-showing shots, and he thinks this comparison is more interesting.

In terms of shooting, since most of the scenes of the entire MV are on the bustling streets, Xiao Yao doesn't want to or have the energy to contact the relevant parts to close the road and seal the venue on the street, and find a bunch of extras to play passers-by for special shooting, so he wants the actors to mix in with real street passers-by, pretend to be tourists with handheld high-definition DV, and shoot the street shots he needs with an act similar to candid shooting.

Most of the shots of the three protagonists are separated, and each protagonist in the middle is only in contact with one character, and in the end, the largest number of characters is the three protagonists gathered together, and in the whole plot, the six actors do not appear in the same frame. The six actors Xiao Yao looked for, including himself, are three students of the acting department and three singers, although there is no serious cameraman majoring in photography, but operating the handheld DV is no problem for them.

So Xiao Yao simply didn't even save the shooting team this time, so he and others took turns to shoot with DV. Although the footage shot in this way will be a little shaky, Xiao Yao just wants this kind of effect that looks more realistic.

On a pedestrian bridge on Wilmar Road in Shencheng, Xu Yuan looked at the pedestrians coming and going, and said to Xiao Yao a little nervously: "Do you really want to perform on the street here?" When Xiao Yao asked her to help shoot the MV, she agreed without saying a word, but when she really started filming, she was inexplicably a little apprehensive.

"Aren't you scared?" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "You've seen a lot of big scenes, and you've sung in bars before, so it's scared of you on this street?"

"But I really haven't done this kind of thing before!" Xu Yuan exclaimed with some grievances.

A celebrity singer pretending to be a street performer performs on the street? Not everyone is as unmentally barrierfree as Xiao Yao.

"Why don't we both change roles. Shazhou opened his mouth and proposed, "I'll play the street performer, and Xu Yuan will play the taxi driver." ”

"Teacher Shazhou, have you ever seen such a young and beautiful taxi driver as Xu Yuan?" Gong Chen on the side looked at Shazhou and interjected with a smile, "You just want to take the opportunity to play with Xiao Yao's handset, right?"

Since it was a street performer, Xiao Yao happened to put his own hand disc in again, and the street artist who arranged Xu Yuan's performance was to play the hand disc on the street. Xu Yuan himself can play musical instruments, after the New Year's Eve party, Xiao Yao gave Xu Yuan a lot of performance skills and methods, on January 1, Xiao Yao went to see the shooting scene, Xu Yuan practiced in the hotel room for a day, although not as skilled as Xiao Yao, but it is okay to play a few songs that can be heard completely, and it can be regarded as presentable.

"Hehe, I really want to play, but the main thing is that Xu Yuan doesn't dare?" Shazhou, who was seen through, was not embarrassed, just looked at Xu Yuan and said, "Xiao Yao said that it will only take two days to shoot, so we can't just waste it, right?"

"Who said I wouldn't dare?" Excited by the sandbar, Xu Yuan finally mustered up the courage, carried the handpiece to the middle of the overpass to the railing on one side, sat cross-legged on the ground, put the handbag on his lap, pulled the hat on the sweatshirt to his head with both hands, and played with his head down.

"Okay!" Xiao Yao watched Xu Yuan start to street performing, and said to Lin Qisan and Nina, who were holding high-definition DVs, "You all know the position and camera angle you just said, right? Let's start!" As he spoke, Xiao Yao pulled the face towel around his neck back to his face, and put on the hat on his clothes.

Lin Qisan and Nina Aiyiguli both nodded. Nina stood on the railing about a quarter of the way to the overpass, leaning on the railing and raising the DV in her hand, while Lin Qisan was holding the DV three or five meters in front of Xiao Yao. As Xiao Yao started to walk in the direction of Xu Yuan from one end of the overpass, Lin Qisan held the DV and stepped back to shoot Xiao Yao, while Nina Aiyiguli stood and followed Xiao Yao's figure with the DV lens for fixed-point shooting. Lin Qisan was wearing a black sweatshirt, not masked, just wearing sunglasses, Nina was dressed in casual clothes, not even camouflage, and the two people holding the DV looked more like young tourists who took photos of city travel records with the DV.

Xiao Yao looked around and passed by Xu Yuan, and when he saw Xu Yuan, Lin Qisan's DV lens captured a trace of doubt in his eyes, Xiao Yao also stopped and turned around and stood in front of Xu Yuan. At this time, there were already two or three passers-by in front of Xu Yuan who were attracted by Xu Yuan's performance, but Xu Yuan kept his head down and played the instrument regardless of it, but when she Yuan saw Xiao Yao's shoes, she suddenly raised her head, glanced at Xiao Yao carefully, and then stopped playing in her hand, took out a folded piece of paper from her clothes, and handed it to Xiao Yao.

Lin Qisan's DV camera not only captured Xu Yuan's face after looking up, but also gave a close-up of the Chinese characters on the paper by the way. Xiao Yao took the piece of paper and glanced at it, put it away, turned around and continued to walk towards the other end of the pedestrian bridge. Lin Qisan stopped and did not continue to shoot in front of Xiao Yao, but took a picture of Xiao Yao's back.

"What is this for?" The somewhat strange behavior of several people naturally aroused some curiosity among passers-by, and some even looked at the backs of Xu Yuan and Xiao Yao, who had already left, and began to mutter.

"Withdraw!" Lin Qisan saw that Xiao Yao's confession had been completed, closed the preview screen of the DV, threw a look at Xu Yuan, and followed Xiao Yao quickly towards the stairs on the side of the pedestrian bridge.

Xu Yuan's reaction was not slow, watching the two leave one after another, he immediately stood up, picked up the hand disk, and ran to the stairs at the end of the pedestrian bridge.

Nina Aiyiguli on the other side also put away the DV, joined Shazhou and Gong Chen, who were watching from the other end, and quickly left the pedestrian bridge from the stairs on the other side.

"Do you feel that the instrument that the girl played just now is very strange, as if you have never seen it? A passer-by looked at Xu Yuan's back and asked his friends around him.

"I don't think I've seen it before... No, I've seen it!" said a friend next to him with a lap on his thigh, "I remember, that's the handpiece played at the New Year's Eve party the day before yesterday!"

"That's true!" another passer-by who had also seen Xu Yuan's performance also said, "But didn't Li Hai say at the party that the hand-discs were invented by Xiao Yao, and there are only two in the world? Why did the other one fall into the hands of a street performer? Could it be that someone came out of the cottage in two days?"

"The showman just now raised his head, and I saw it, and it looked very beautiful, as if I had seen it somewhere. A boy who looked like an obvious couple said.

"What do you mean, you know all the pretty girls when you see them, don't you?" The girl next to her was not happy, and put two fingers on the boy's arm.

"That's not what I mean," the boy said quickly, "I mean, I think I've seen it on TV." ”

"Did you see it on TV? That's a celebrity?

"I really feel like I've seen it," the boy said, and suddenly clapped his hands and said, "I remember, that girl is Xu Yuan." She was dressed in tatters just now, and it was so far from the image on TV that I didn't remember it for a while. But her face... It's really like Xu Yuan. ”

"Ahh

"What are you doing?" said the boy as he plugged a finger into his ear.

"Xiao Yao!" the girl said excitedly.

"Xiao Yao, where?" the boy began to look around.

"Stupid, ran away!" the girl said, "The one who wore a hat and a mask just now! Since it was Xu Yuan who was a performer, the one who wore a hat and a mask must be Xiao Yao." You see, his image is the same as the image in the MV of "faded". Didn't you see that there was someone next to me holding a DV shooting, and then ran with it? It must be Xiao Yao playing some new tricks again, maybe he was filming a new song MV? I don't know if he filmed us just now. ”

"Shoot MVs? How can anyone take a DV and shoot MVs on the street like this? People are all like filming TV dramas and movies, using special crews, actors and venues, and clearing the scene to shoot. The boy didn't believe.

"Others shoot like that, but Xiao Yao is not necessarily. The girl reminded the boy, "The "Daydream" band ran to the real wedding scene held by others, and it was Xiao Yao's idea to record it and make it into a MV. He took a DV and shot some real things on the street to do the MV, he can definitely do it!"

"It's really!" When the boy heard this, he couldn't help but nod, and immediately grabbed the railing and looked down, "They must continue to shoot, see if you can still see them, I'll take you to watch!"

"Yes, yes!" said the girl.

It's just that the two chatted for a long time, and when they looked down again, where could they still see the figures of Xiao Yao and others.

When the six of them returned to a seven-seater SUV borrowed by Lin Qisan, Lin Qisan suddenly said: "You said that if Xu Yuan or Xiao Yao were recognized just now, what would happen if they were surrounded by fans and passers-by?"

Before, Xiao Yao was filmed alone in uninhabited streets and alleys, there is nothing to worry about, the scene of the pedestrian bridge is still the first scene today with passers-by who don't know the inside story, and some people remember this stubble. You must know that the six of them participated in the filming today, and no one brought an assistant.

"I don't need to worry about it anyway, I don't think anyone knows me. Nina smiled and said, "What you need to worry about is a few of their big stars who just participated in the New Year's Eve party, right?"

"There were only a few people just now, and it doesn't matter if they are recognized. Xiao Yao, who had finished watching the pictures taken by Lin Qisan and Nina, said with a smile, "But at night, especially the shots of Gong Chen on the pedestrian street at night, that is the test." Let me warn you, if you are recognized, run. If anyone is surrounded by passers-by, find a way to get out by themselves. ”
