Chapter 64: The Mysterious 'XC'
The completion of the preliminary work of the crew's preparation means that filming can start at any time. As the planner and producer of micro-films, Lin Xingchen is naturally the busiest person. Fortunately, he also has three roommates who can share a lot of work for him.
Just when Lin Xingchen was busy preparing for the crew, an unexpected call made him have to temporarily put down the work at hand. began to pay attention to the dynamics of the music industry, the reason is that Lin Junjie's album has begun to sell on the charts.
Lin Junjie, who began to be busy promoting the album again, said proudly on the phone: "Xingchen, you have to be careful recently!" Now reporters in the entertainment industry seem to be asking about you, a mysterious composer! ”
Facing the little smugness in Lin Junjie's words, Lin Xingchen thought for a moment and said, "JJ, you won't sue me, have you revealed the situation about me?" You know, I'm still a student, so it's not suitable for me to get too much attention from the media! ”
Lin Junjie smiled and said, "You like to be low-key, I naturally know it." It's just that this time the album is selling very well, and other music companies are also promoting your talent as a mysterious composer at the right time.
I dare say that with the songs you wrote last year, they are coming out this year. You, the mysterious 'XC', are bound to become the focus of attention of reporters from all walks of life. Of course, as a token of appreciation, I also revealed a little bit about you. ”
When Lin Xingchen listened to Lin Junjie on the phone, he said that when he participated in several music talk shows, he was mentioned in the lyrics and composition column of the title song 'Cao Cao', since the name of the same person appeared.
This kind of thing that the outside world is quite concerned about, when asked. In order to create some news for Lin Xingchen, Lin Junjie revealed slightly: "I can't say too much about XC. All I can say is that he is a very talented musician.
I had a contact with him before recording the album and we had a lot in common about music. To my shame, this Mr. XC is younger than me. To avoid his life being disturbed, I can only say so much. ”
The cutting-edge music talent who can make Lin Junjie, who is popular, comment so much, has naturally become the focus of media attention. And other companies that received Lin Xingchen's lyrics cooperated with Lin Junjie in a timely manner to promote this mysterious Mr. XC.
If you say, at the beginning, they just felt that the songs that Lin Xingchen wrote for their singers were really good. I didn't think about using Lin Xingchen's fame to hype up the popularity of his singer's album by the way.
So with the popularity of Lin Junjie's album, these music companies will naturally not be stupid to offend people. A cutting-edge music talent who has really received media attention, who dares to say that he will not become the next music star in the future?
It is very clear that Lin Junjie is doing this in order to improve his status in the music industry. Lin Xingchen was also very moved and said, "JJ, thank you!" Rest assured, from the moment I entered this circle, I was actually prepared.
Anyway, I'm staying in the academy now, and even if they learn about me through other channels, I believe they won't be able to get in. By the way, I was preparing for the recording of a music short film recently, and the official version of the song has not yet been recorded.
I plan to go to the capital after a while and find Mr. Bi to borrow a recording studio. If you have time to be interested, why don't you choose a time that is convenient for you, and I will go to the capital when I arrive, and we will meet and talk again, how about it? ”
Hearing that Lin Xingchen had a new work, Lin Junjie was naturally very curious and said: "You guy, you are really amazing, you have started to play movie recording." Okay, I'll call you again when I get to the capital that day. ”
Ending the call with Lin Junjie, Lin Xingchen also began to enter some search websites to inquire about news about himself. I found that there were a lot of news materials that could be found, but there was no report for the time being, and his identity information was searched.
It seems that his guess is right, and with the works sold last year coming out one after another, his popularity in the music industry can continue to ferment. Eventually, his information will definitely be known to the outside world. In recent years, the reporter's investigation is still very strong.
In fact, for Lin Xingchen, his mentality towards being famous is still very contradictory. The reason is very simple, how can you become a star if you are not famous? But after becoming a star, his behavior will receive special attention from media reporters.
Think about the current popular king Chou Dong, didn't he also produce a song last year to mock those paparazzi who are ubiquitous and pervasive and unscrupulous in the news?
got the news from Lin Junjie, and Lin Xingchen also knew that the shooting of the music micro-film seemed to be about to be started. For this reason, looking for a weekend, Lin Xingchen gathered the crew members and held a relatively relaxed meeting.
It is also clear that Zhang Mingzhou and Lu Xiaojun, who will be very precious on weekends in the future, have already found the first shooting location. Early the next morning, Lin Xingchen waited at the gate of the college early to greet the students involved in the recording to get on the bus.
In order to save time and transport photographic equipment, Lin Xingchen specially rented a bus. But this is also very rare for the students who participated in the filming.
In their opinion, if they are involved in the filming of other crews, in their current status. I'm afraid that they will have to bear the fare of the commute. At the moment, there are buses to pick up and drop off, which is naturally good.
Maybe they are all young people, but as they get along a few times, these seniors who participated in the filming have become much more casual with Lin Xingchen. Many seniors smiled and said, "Isn't this treatment too generous?" ”
Facing the jokes of the seniors, Lin Xingchen smiled and said: "Time is money!" If we can get you to the set as soon as possible, we can start filming earlier. Therefore, it is more convenient to rent a car to go back and forth. ”
Regarding Lin Xingchen's answer, Sun Yizhou, who led the students of the acting department to the bus, also smiled and said: "It seems that we have misunderstood the kindness of the junior." He's trying to squeeze our precious rest! ”
Along with the seniors who participated in the filming, the equipment needed for filming was also specially sent by the college to transport. Under Lin Xingchen's nod, the driver quickly left the school gate of the play.
Watching the bus leave, many students who went in and out of the theater also felt very envious. For them, isn't it just to come here to study so that one day, they can enter a certain TV and movie crew?
Although the division of labor has been agreed, Lin Xingchen still took the microphone and said while the car was driving: "Although today is our first day of shooting, we hope that we can complete the set shooting tasks today."
I believe everyone knows that because of the filming time, most of them are chosen on weekends, so counting the time of post-production, in fact, the shooting time of our micro-film is a bit rushed. And a good start is good for our next shooting.
Therefore, according to our previous division of labor, after getting off the bus, I hope that everyone will enter the working state as soon as possible. If the shooting task cannot be completed and the delay of one day may delay the completion of the project by a week.
Next, if there is anything you can't do during the shooting, please be considerate of the seniors. After all, the junior's wallet is limited, and one more day of delay will require increased expenses. Now when I go home, I know that it is not easy to be in charge! ”
Understand that when you enter the working state next, you can't be so casual. Public is public, private is private, Lin Xingchen is also a person who has a clear distinction between public and private. Take a preventive shot in advance, and I hope that these seniors will understand that he is the leader of the crew.
If it really affects the filming progress of the crew because of someone, Lin Xingchen will also change people at any time. Perhaps this is a bit too disregardful. But Lin Xingchen knows that when these people graduate, they will face such a severe workplace test every day.
Fortunately, the people who participated in the filming this time were reminded by the tutors and directors of the department. Let them treat this micro-film shooting with the mentality of graduation work. If you think it's an academic work, you can deal with it casually, but I'm afraid it will surprise them.
When Lin Xingchen asked these department heads for excellence, Lin Xingchen said. If there is someone who does not cooperate during the filming, he will directly kick them out of the crew. This practice is also normal in the eyes of these directors.
Compared to these students, they still don't understand the cruelty of the workplace. As mentors, as department heads, how can they not know. Will newcomers face being eliminated at any time in any position in the crew?
If you let them feel it in advance, what kind of mentality should the real crew face it. It may be more beneficial for these outstanding graduating students to understand the cruel workplace they will need to face in the future.
After speaking, Lin Xingchen sat back next to Zhao Siji. For this girlfriend, Lin Xingchen is also clear. Compared with other boyfriends, there are sweet words every day, and even find weekends to go out shopping.
And Lin Xingchen really didn't go out alone with Zhao Siji because of the preparations of the crew, and the relationship was determined during this time. Even if I have time, I just walk hand in hand on campus occasionally.
Fortunately, Zhao Siji is not the kind of superficial girl, and she also knows that Lin Xingchen is indeed busy. For Lin Xingchen's dedicated attitude, Zhao Siji actually still appreciates it. After all, love is only maintained by the romance of the moon before the flower, and it can't go to the end!
It was also Zhao Siji's support that made Lin Xingchen feel that he was actually lucky to find such an understanding and tolerant girlfriend. As long as he has free time, he will chat with Zhao Siji and enjoy the sweetness of love between the two of them!
