Chapter 81: One pass
According to the plan listed by Ding Century Yuan Media Company, the MV shooting with the Friday band is preliminarily scheduled for three days, with a total of three scenes, namely the sea of flowers, the downtown and the wedding scene, corresponding to the three key love nodes of love, marriage proposal and wedding.
The sea of flowers and troubles are concentrated on the first day of shooting, the wedding scene is arranged on the second day, and the third day is reserved, if there is any special reason in the first two days that affects the recording of the MV, the third day can be used.
As for the shooting of some interior scenes, there is no need for Liu Jingxin's cooperation.
The night before the official shooting of the MV, Shi Yuan, as a representative of the company, invited the director and Liu Jingxin to a fairly high-grade restaurant, and communicated some details of the MV shooting while eating.
The director's surname is Cheng, he is not very old and has little qualifications, but he is from a professional class, and one of the elders in the family is still an old-timer in the film industry. After graduating from Beiying, he followed the elder for more than a year, and his level was actually not bad. He is currently planning to make a big online movie, and the reason why he is willing to take over this MV is not only because he wants to practice, but also because Liu Jingxin's song "Must Be Forever" moved him.
Liu Jingxin thought that the director would be difficult to communicate with the top, but he didn't expect the other party to be quite humble, he called the teacher to everyone, and did not steal words, did not interject, his words and deeds were very decent, and at first glance, he was an excellent tutor.
We didn't eat much at this meal, and considering that the official shooting would start tomorrow, no one was drinking, so the conversation went very efficiently.
Liu Jingxin doesn't know much about shooting MVs, and he is not ready to study them in depth. Professional things naturally have to be handed over to professional people to do, and he just needs to follow the arrangement.
However, Liu Jingxin raised his own objections on one matter, and he insisted.
According to Director Cheng's preliminary plan, Liu Jingxin and they just need to pretend when shooting, because this will be more flexible when shooting, and adjustments will be made during post-editing, and the final effect will not be too bad.
But Liu Jingxin was reluctant to do this, he hoped that he could bring the whole set of equipment with him, and he would play and sing on the spot.
This is the first MV shot by the band Friday, Liu Jingxin hopes that everything is perfect, they have no acting experience, and the emotional mobilization is not so easy. He didn't want to shoot at the end when each of them was lazy, or their expressions and movements stiff.
Director Cheng felt that it would definitely be good to be able to really perform on the spot, but it would be a waste of time to set up equipment or something at that time, and he was worried that it would affect the filming progress. But after all, Liu Jingxin is equivalent to the "gold master", since Liu Jingxin is so insistent, Director Cheng can't say anything more, so he agreed.
After a night of silence, early the next morning, Liu Jingxin took his brothers to move the equipment of the rehearsal room to the car they had agreed, and then rushed all the way to the first shooting location - Huairou Lavender Manor.
There are patches of lavender flowers, a gust of wind blows, the undulating sea of flowers is like purple waves, very beautiful.
The scent of lavender filled the air, refreshing and refreshing for everyone present.
Liu Jingxin didn't care about enjoying the beautiful scenery, so they immediately moved the equipment from the car when the car stopped, and then went to the selected location to place the equipment.
Almost simultaneously, in another area not far away, filming had already begun.
The heroine stands alone in the sea of flowers, with her eyes closed and her arms open, as if she is embracing nature with a face full of enjoyment.
This heroine is very beautiful, she has a very good figure, she looks very sweet, she wears a long white dress, and she looks like a fairy of flowers in a sea of purple lavender.
Liu Jingxin saw that the other four brothers were staring at the heroine from afar with wide eyes, and frowned: "Don't look at it, I've seen the storyboard, they don't have many shots here, it is estimated that it won't be long before the shoot will be completed, let's not hold back!"
Everyone else scratched their heads and smiled embarrassedly, then looked away from the heroine and continued to be busy.
As Liu Jingxin said, there are indeed not many storyboards that do not require the cooperation of the band in the scene shooting on this side of the sea of flowers.
But the temperature in this season is really very high, and there are a lot of mosquitoes in the sea of flowers, the hero and heroine didn't play for a while, they were sweating profusely, and they had to keep touching up their makeup, and there were a lot of small red bumps bitten by mosquitoes on the exposed skin, which directly led to the state of the hero and heroine getting worse and worse, and they were filmed until noon, but they did not meet the effect required by Director Cheng.
Originally, Liu Jingxin thought that it would be a waste of time for them to install and debug the equipment and delay the filming progress, but the result was that they had prepared everything properly, and the filming over there was not yet finished.
After lunch, everyone took a break for a while, avoiding the time when the light was strongest at noon, and then continued shooting.
With the experience of the morning, after the adjustment at noon, the shooting in the afternoon was relatively smooth, and the part of the male and female protagonists appearing alone was finally filmed smoothly, followed by the cooperation of the male and female protagonists and the band.
The content of this scene design is: the hero and heroine are holding hands and walking in the sea of flowers, and suddenly see Liu Jingxin singing, so the male and female protagonists run over and follow the whole band to jump happily in the music and in the sea of purple flowers......
It stands to reason that the more people there are, the more difficult it is to shoot, and if there is a problem with one person, the director will shout "click" to reshoot.
With the experience of the morning, the director team was already ready to fight a protracted battle, who would have thought that when the melody of the song came out through the stereo, the exhausted hero and heroine were actually in good spirits, and they entered the state in the blink of an eye.
The two of them hooked their fingers half a meter away in the sound of music, the female protagonist was very energetic and strode while talking about something, and the male protagonist kept smirking "hehe" with a red face.
Suddenly, the heroine stopped as if she had discovered a new continent, stared ahead with wide eyes, and then she let go of the male protagonist's hand and ran happily like a rabbit to Liu Jingxin's area.
The male protagonist was stunned and chased after him.
Next is the seven people in the camera, jumping and swaying together.
In fact, not only them, but even the other people present were gently swaying their bodies to the sound of music, Director Cheng stared at the small screen, his frowning brows gradually relaxed, and he nodded gently to the rhythm of the drums.
From the prelude of "Forever and Forever" to the end of the last electric guitar Solo, Director Cheng never shouted "click".
"OK! Everyone has worked hard, let's move on to the next one!" Director Cheng stood up and folded his hands to express his gratitude to everyone, secretly glad in his heart for Liu Jingxin's persistence.
In a specific scene, if there is enough atmosphere rendering, it can really mobilize the state of the actors. After all, not all actors can enter the play in one second.
