Chapter 0246 - The two crews go hand in hand
Huang Yiyun happily didn't know what to say after learning that Mr. Meng and Du Zhongming didn't know each other and had been reconciled, and the gauze scarf wrapped around her head to stop headaches like the Samurai was also removed, because the most troublesome thing for her had been satisfactorily resolved.
What's even more strange is that Du Zhongming, a person who has always regarded himself very highly and never cooperated with others, actually agreed to cooperate with four new directors, and also accepted them as closed disciples, Huang Yiyun's first reaction when he heard the news was that Lao Du was really eaten to death by Mr. Meng this time, alas, the industry leader who has been in the Asian music circle for 20 years has finally planted a heel in a young junior.
Carefully recalling the cause and effect, the process in the middle and the final effect, Huang Yiyun couldn't help but admire Meng Xinghui and threw herself to the ground, it was difficult for her to understand how a student in his early twenties could have such an accurate grasp of people's surnames, he had already decided at the beginning that Du Zhongming would compromise in the end, and he was sure that Du Zhongming would be moved by his works, and in the end he had to agree to all the conditions, even if it violated Lao Du's code of conduct.
In any case, such a person is her boss, her partner, not her competitor, her enemy, which is undoubtedly quite a lucky thing.
Whether it is Huang Yiyun or Du Zhongming, they are both vigorous workaholics, once everything is negotiated, there are no more differences and contradictions, then it is the common desire of both parties to start work immediately.
Du Zhongming, Zhu Heping, Pan Yunjia and other four young directors also met, talked together for a long time, and were very satisfied with their solid theoretical foundation, in fact, if you only talk about theory, Du Zhongming is not even as good as these four graduate students from the class, but when it comes to actual shooting experience, Du Zhongming can get rid of these young people seventeen or eighteen streets.
The people of Huaxia are like this, the ability to engage in theory behind closed doors is absolutely the first in the world, Yenching Film Academy is a world-renowned institution, every year in Europe and the United States, including Hollywood, have to send a large number of international students to the film academy to study theory, but once it involves practice, we can only look up to others, because it is one thing to say, it is another thing to do, once it is involved in doing, it is complicated for us, there are many reasons for this, there are institutional, cultural, psychological, etc., etc., I won't go into too much detail here, every Chinese person is very clear in their hearts.
Du Zhongming feels that these young people have a very solid basic knowledge, and they also have the ability to actually work, and their artistic sense of smell is also quite good, otherwise they would not be able to enter the director department, which is known as the most difficult to get into the film academy, but they still lack the kind of practical ability to perfectly realize their imagination, which is not something that can be achieved in a short period of time, and needs to be accumulated continuously during the filming process, because now he and Meng Xinghui can talk very well, so they love the house and Wu, and they also look very pleasing to the eye for these four young people. So when I was with them, I didn't put on a show at all, I knew everything, I didn't know everything, I didn't understand the theoretical knowledge, and I was able to ask questions without shame and ask Pan Yunjia for advice, which made the four young people feel strange, is this still the rumored Boss Du who is difficult to be a thief and difficult to serve? It's completely a mentor and friend of both virtue and art.
What they don't know is that Du Zhongming was not like this when he first came, but he was just cleaned up and subdued by Meng Xinghui's soft and hard tricks, but Meng Xinghui is not a frivolous person, and now the relationship with Lao Du is in the honeymoon period, so naturally he will not show off this kind of thing everywhere, so what he knows is limited to a few people present that day, and there is no rumor.
Meng Xinghui and Du Zhongming discussed the script of the MV together for a long time, Meng Xinghui respects Du Zhongming's professional level very much, if it is a creative idea that coincides with two people, then it must be preserved, if the opinions of two people are different, then follow Du Zhongming's creativity, as the saying goes, there is a specialization in the art industry, Du Zhongming has been in the wind and cloud for 20 years in the night, and it is definitely not in vain, most of his ideas are indeed more practical than Meng Xinghui's ideas, and they can cater to the market better, After all, even if it is art, it still has to face the audience in the end, and it still needs people to pay for consumption, so it is not possible to be sloppy at all when it takes care of the audience's appreciation level.
It's just that Du Zhongming is really professional in art, if he thinks Meng Xinghui's creativity is better than him, then he will also choose to support it, and in such an atmosphere, the final draft is also very fast.
What Du Zhongming admires the most is that Meng Xinghui wrote the MV of his love song series into the form of a series of movies, such as "Leaving the Injury", "Watching", and "Two People's Land", these three songs are combined into a movie, the first part is about the separation of two people, the second part is waiting, persistent for love, and the third part is because of persistence, so meet again, get together again, these three songs are the three stages of a movie story, after the movie of a song, there is suspense, and you will look forward to the next story, Then move on to another song, like this...... Meng Xinghui's script for this musical movie is very well written, and it is the only story that Du Zhongming has not changed in the slightest, because he feels that if it is filmed according to this script, it will be very touching and shocking, and it is undoubtedly more impressive than just listening to the song itself...... The director is in place, the script is in place, the staff is in place, and the next question is the hero and heroine of the MV.
This time I want to shoot all the songs of Star Entertainment, including the five songs of Jin Yufei and the fairy tale last year group, although Jin Yufei and the fairy tale last year group do not need to release an album for the time being, but it is not easy to invite a big name like Du Zhongming once, anyway, sooner or later in the future, take this opportunity to shoot together, you can upload the MV at the same time when the TV station hits the charts, or when it is released on the Internet, which can increase popularity and make the audience more impressed.
All of Meng Xinghui's songs, Huang Yiyun is planning to shoot MV, this album Huang Yiyun is ready to come out of several versions, there are gold versions, platinum versions, collector's editions, and ordinary versions, the ordinary version is naturally only songs, nothing else, the gold version will come with signed photos, some small gifts, the platinum version in addition to the photos and gifts that the gold version has, there will also be some creative mood stories recorded by Meng Xinghui himself, and the MVDVD of the title song will be attached, as for the collector's version, In addition to all the gifts of the platinum version, it will also come with all the songs MVDVD discs, of course, the price of each type is also different, the collector's edition will definitely be very expensive, unless it is financially strong, and it has to be a hardcore fan of Meng Xinghui, most people will not choose to buy it.
But the current consumer market is like this, all classes have the purchasing power of all classes, for some consumers, their eyes are staring at the goods with the words "out of print" and "treasured", they are not bad for money, what they are looking for is the kind of psychological experience that is different from ordinary consumers, if you are cheap, they are not rare to buy.
The male protagonists of the MV of the two songs in the last year of the fairy tale, naturally the five of them themselves, and then only one girl is needed, Star Entertainment is currently not short of actresses, in addition to a few beauties filming in the crew of "Police Flowers and Future Thieves", there are also potential stocks that have been tapped in the starry sky reality show, and now they are all being trained in the artist management department, these people can be picked at will, as long as they feel suitable, they can be called over to audition, in fact, like the style of the last years of fairy tales, as long as you choose a youthful one, Just a girl with a pure temperament, such a person is still among the new artists of Star Entertainment.
Jin Yufei's MV heroine is naturally played by herself, there is no more suitable heroine than the fairy sister to be the heroine of her own songs, as for the male protagonist, it is naturally played by Meng Daguanren, this is hand-picked by Jin Yufei, of course, Du Zhongming is also absolutely in favor of such a combination, whether it is appearance or temperament, Meng Xinghui and Jin Yufei, the golden boy and girl, can definitely detonate anyone's eyeballs at any time and place, and their combination to perform a poignant and moving love movie will definitely kill all audiences.
As for the casting of Meng Xinghui's twenty songs, it is more complicated, love songs are easy to choose, Jin Yufei is completely competent, and the rest of the inspirational songs feel different, there are many songs that are only performed by men and women, and it is difficult to match the artistic conception of the song, sometimes other actors are needed, and even children are needed, but this is not difficult for Meng Xinghui, anyway, Hengdian Film and Television City is not far from here, and now there are many filming crews, with the connections of director Zhao Baogang, There are no problems at all in the crew to pull some extras to save the scene, even the crew of "Police Flower and Future Thief" also has a lot of extras, who can be requisitioned at any time when they are idle.
For example, the background of the MV of the song "Lonely Smoke in the Desert" needs to go to the desert, and the crew of "Police Flower and Future Thief" also happens to have scenes that need to be filmed in the desert, so it is necessary to wait until the crew of "Police Flower and Future Thief" goes to the desert, and the two crews set off together, which not only saves money, but also integrates the largest human resources and does the work of both parties well.
I used to think that MV was just a good thing, but once I went to shoot it myself, I realized that it was not the case at all, if you want to shoot well and shoot wonderfully, you have to shoot it as a movie, in fact, Du Zhongming has always done things according to the requirements of making movies, and even pursues details more than making movies, after all, MVs are much shorter than movies, but there are a lot of things that need to be elaborated, which has higher requirements for those who control the camera.
The two crews went hand in hand, everything was in full swing, and people like Meng Xinghui, Jin Yu, and Scarlet Jinge who needed to run separately from the two crews became extremely busy.
