Chapter Eighty-Nine: MTV Shooting Plan
On Monday afternoon, a phone call from Zhou Fang caught Ye Zi on the TV station.
Ye Zi hurried over, he was afraid that there would be something inside the TV station. It turned out to be a good thing, Zhou Fang decided to personally take action to produce the MTV of the two songs "The Sound of the Waves" and "Late Autumn" Chinese version for Ye Zi, and needed to discuss the specific shooting plan with Ye Zi.
Zhou Fang now likes Ye Zi more and more. If she had a daughter, she really wanted to marry her daughter to Ye Zi, but unfortunately she only had two sons.

"Teacher Zhou, this plan γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»" Ye Zi thought for a long time before he hesitated.
Zhou Fang smiled: "Stinky boy, if you have any ideas, just say it as soon as possible." Afraid of what? Will I eat you again? β
For Ye Zi, Zhou Fang is really doting.
As soon as she saw Ye Zi's attitude, she knew that he was not very satisfied with his plan, and if it were someone else, Zhou Fang would have told him to get out of here. It's enough for the old lady to shoot MTV for you personally, right? You still dare to chirp crookedly there, boy, you don't want to mess around, do you?
But for Ye Zi, her attitude was completely different, and she was much more tolerant.
First, the two sides are looking at each other. There is still a fate between people, and I like this talented young man very much from the first time I met her. In subsequent contacts, the young man always respected her and helped her more than once. In the biggest test of Zhou Fang's career recently, this young man also made a lot of efforts. Moreover, Ye Zi is Sun Yun's disciple, and this thrilling pass is completely Sun Yun's contribution (Zhou Fang's own opinion), helping his disciple can be regarded as a little reward for Sun Yun.
Therefore, Zhou Fang was not dissatisfied with Ye Zi's attitude. And after such a long time of contact, she already knows the talent of this young man, maybe he has any unexpected ideas?

Zhou Fang's shooting plan is not bad, of course, this is to be seen in the current era. But from Ye Zi's point of view, such a plan can be summed up in one word: soil.
Yes, it's the word "soil".
Zhou Fang's plan is very simple, she plans to spend two days to lead the film crew to Hanshan Temple in Suzhou City, Suzhou Province to shoot, directly borrow the scenery depicted by Zhang Ji's "Fengqiao Night Park", and shoot the MTV of these two songs together nearby.
There is no problem with the location, and there is no problem with the set of shots, and the artistic conception of the two songs has a lot in common. The problem is the MTV of these two songs, Zhou Fang's shooting plan is the scenery + Ye Zi himself singing lip-syncing + a camera, and that's it. If there is a change, at most it is for Ye Zi to change a few more outfits.
Is this also called MTV?
That's right, this was the most popular method of shooting live MTV at the time. Moreover, this kind of shooting method has only been spread from the Xiangjiang River and the Taiwan Strait in the past two years.
This is a more advanced approach. There is also a way to save money, which is to set up simple sets in the TV studio, and use things like tables and chairs, stairs, barbed wire, or wooden squares for the singers to sit, stand, walk, or lip-sync with barbed wire. Sometimes, for the sake of effect, a large industrial electric fan will be used to blow at the singer and the dry ice sprayed all over the ground, artificially creating the so-called special style of the singer "standing in the wind, ethereal, and fluttering". This kind of shooting method has been very popular for a while, Ye Zi has tried it in his previous life, that kind of tasteγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» you will know if you try to sing loudly with a smile on your face in the wind one day!
Of course, Ye Zi didn't like such a shooting plan, but when the words came to his lips, he hesitated again.
If you deny such a plan, you have to give a new plan, does Ye Zi have a new plan? Of course there is, and there are a lot of them. But the question is, can the new solution be realized? In this day and age?
ββββββββββ
In later generations, MTV shooting plans were nothing more than several types, plot-type, artistic conception-type, stunt-type, on-site type and micro-film type. These can be divided into live-action versions, animated versions, live-action and animation combination versions, funny versions, subversive versions, and so on.
Ye Zi first vetoed the micro-film type, the on-site type, and the stunt type, which are completely unrealistic and will not be considered. The animated version or something will be put aside for a while, and I'll talk about it later.
What can be considered now is the live-action version of the two schemes, the plot type and the mood type, and it needs to be closer to the plot type. This is also the most used genre in later generations, using a short and simple storyline to shoot the content of the whole song, so that the audience has a more sense of substitution, and the effect achieved is definitely much better than the current "landscape film with lyrics".
But the biggest problem is that although Ye Zi knows this, he doesn't understand the professional technology of photography at all. He didn't know if he could get the kind of effect he wanted now, and if the photography couldn't keep up, it would all be empty talk.
So he kept thinking about it, and he was still hesitating when he spoke.
However, since Zhou Fang said so, of course he was not polite, and directly threw out his thoughts.
ββββββββββ
"γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» Mr. Zhou, I can write about the simple plot of the song, but I don't understand the photography aspect at all." Ye Zi said his thoughts in detail, and then confessed directly: "So whether this plan can work or not, I want you to help me check it, Mr. Zhou." β
Zhou Fang has been thinking seriously since Ye Zi began to talk about his plan, and sure enough, this little guy has a new idea. If this idea is to be perfectly realized, it is indeed closely related to photography. Without a good camera and photographer, the MTV will be very effective.
However, Zhou Fang's perspective is completely different from Ye Zi's, and the first thing she sees is the novelty in Ye Zi's plan. Using a simple storyline as the content of MTV's filming, such a plan is really clever compared to the original plan. And the main thing is such a scheme, I haven't heard of a single song that MTV filmed like this. If you add the beautiful scenery near Hanshan Temple, these two MTV shoots will definitely attract wide attention from the music world, and it is very possible to even lead the trend.
Is it difficult to implement such a solution? It's not that hard at all! You can find a random TV drama crew in the station and you can do it. If you want the finished product to be of a higher grade, then you can spend some money on the relationship, go to the Shencheng Film Studio and invite a film crew to come over, and shoot it on film film. But if you do this, the shooting budget will be a little tight. Taking 10,000 steps back, even the film crew of the Ministry of Literature and Art can complete this plan, and the difference is nothing more than the effect that comes out in the later stage.
The problem of filming is very difficult in Ye Zi's opinion, but in Zhou Fang's eyes, it is just the difference in the effect after MTV comes out, and the amount of shooting funds. Zhou Fang clearly realized that the most difficult thing was actually such a way of thinking and planning. Such an idea is not something that anyone can come up with casually, and such an opportunity is not something that can be easily obtained at any time.
For Zhou Fang, such an opportunity should not be missed!
"Xiaoyezi, you don't have to worry about these things." Zhou Fang smiled: "In this way, because it involves changes in the plan and funding issues, we will consider your plan." I'll give you a reassurance first, I'm personally very satisfied with your plan, and I'll fight for it at the meeting. It's a big deal, we use the film crew in the ministry to shoot, and at most the effect is a little worse. β
"Wait for my good news." Zhou Fang said affirmatively.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhou, then I'll go back first."
"Well, you wait for my call."
ββββββββββ
As soon as Ye Zi left, Zhou Fang immediately called Zhang Wenliang and Cai Jianjun over.
"What do you think?" Zhou Fang introduced Ye Zi's plan and asked. Both of them are his right-hand men, and their opinions are also important.
Zhang Wenliang has always been Zhou Fang's echo worm, but this time, he rarely hesitated.
"Director Zhou, at a time like this, if MTV's broadcast effect is not good, it will definitely give someone with a heart to grab the handle, I'm more worried about this." Zhang Wenliang did not hide it in front of Zhou Fang, and directly expressed his concerns.
Zhou Fang smiled and asked again, "Then what do you think of Ye Zi's plan?" β
Zhang Wenliang nodded affirmatively, but what he said was not sure: "There are new ideas, but what the effect isγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» to be honest, I don't have any bottom in my heart." I have reservations about whether the new and surprising can be accepted by the audience. β
"Hmm." Zhou Fang nodded lightly and turned to Cai Jianjun: "Xiao Cai, what do you think?" β
"I fully approve of Ye Zi's plan." Cai Jianjun has long known Ye Zi's ability from recent contacts, but he has another concern: "But Director Zhou, if this plan wants to achieve more perfect results, I am afraid it will be difficult for our film crew to do it." If external requests are required, this funding is a big problem. Taili is still very strict with our funds, and I'm worried about this. β
"I'm going to discuss this plan at the meeting, what do you think?" Zhou Fang directly threw out his own opinions.
"Meeting?" Zhang Wenliang asked.
"Yes, yes." Zhou Fang gradually became serious: "I estimated the budget of these two songs, if you want to achieve the best effect, it is inevitable to invite outsiders." In this case, the budget should be based on 100,000 yuan. This number must be decided by the meeting. β
"Then γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»" Zhang Wenliang hesitated for a moment, and cautiously proposed a plan: "Then can you let Ye Zi bear a little expense?" Looks like this kid still has some money. β
"Nope." Zhou Fang immediately rejected Zhang Wenliang's idea: "If you change people, this plan is feasible." But Xiao Yezi has other plans, and I'll tell you later. β
"In this way, Xiao Zhang, you go to find a few people, and first get the storyline framework of these two songs, which should be more refined and the plot design more ingenious."
"Xiao Cai, you can brush up the backbone of the film crew, we still use our own team to use it, plus the photographers invited to form a film crew. In this way, the cost can also be saved. β
"Okay, Director Zhou." Cai Jianjun's mind turned quickly: "This can also train our own team, and I will do this when I go back." β
"Well, let's do it first." Zhou Fang finished the assignment and immediately ended the exchange.
