A not small amount of money, it fell from the sky............

Without waiting for me to wonder where it came from, a call came in as soon as I looked at the caller's name and understood it completely.

On the other end of the phone, there is no doubt that Jiang Xijun has a tough voice. He said - he had already paid the rent.

That's right, from my honorarium. It was the first harvest in my entire life. SPEED's MV shooting, my personal remuneration is 120,000 yuan, plus 14,000 yuan in November, and after deducting the rent, it is 123,000 yuan that has entered my account at this moment.

Holding the phone in his hand, his thumb hanging over the screen shakes slightly. A long breath of cloudy breath was exhaled by me.

Raise your hand, call the busy PD in the group, and give him your card. Before the afternoon work begins, I think everyone needs a warm cup of Americano.

In the morning meeting, in front of the heads of each group, I analyzed my shooting ideas in more detail. Presumably, they have already passed on the general idea of what I was going to shoot and how to shoot it to their respective team members. Then it's time for more specific operations.

The construction of the scene is ongoing. The writers' group started a brainstorming session around my shooting idea. As for the art team, I took them directly to the place where the scene was built.

As I said before, the set we were going to build was six rooms and an empty space around it. And that's the purpose of the art team here. It is necessary to discuss in detail the professional design of each room.

Real idea. It doesn't have to be stubborn in the pursuit of innovation. When shooting a music video, there are actually only a few important elements. As long as I take the basic expressive elements to the extreme, I feel that I can also create a feeling that makes people shine.

If the previous part of Speed is a strong embodiment of color and dance. So this time, I plan to hedge the color system to the extreme!

――――――――

A glass of americano moistened my throat, and my mind cleared up a little. With the help of a few field workers, a modest office area was erected next to the set. The art team that was called before was all in place at this time. The so-called art group, in fact, there are only four artists who really have professional titles. This is not an easy position to get. Most of the remaining members of the art group are in the learning stage.

Artist, formerly known as Set Designer and Artist. The concept and name of the current stage are all from the United States. They exist to cooperate with the director and strive to embody the overall creative intention in various forms.

They use costumes, costumes, sets, props and other modeling means to create the external image of the characters in the play and the spatial environment of the film. It also provides more action fulcrums for the activities of the characters, and is conducive to scene scheduling and shooting. Artists generally need to have a high level of literary and artistic literacy and painting and modeling ability, and be able to master the unique rules of the visual embodiment of the film.

When my will began to pass on, the art team in place quickly entered the working state. They started with 3DMax 3D modeling on a computer. The whole set needs to be perfectly reflected on the computer. And after that. It is an environment scene model design.

The six rooms are numbered one after the other, and I'm standing in room one with a blank artwork in my hand and a paintbrush in my mouth. Bring headphones. Keep your eyes closed.

In my mind, many images flashed at the speed of light. Room One, continuous build.

"Park Mi-jong. Room 1 is set to be a dark dark red color palette with a crystal chandelier in the center. What material are the walls and floors made of? You can discuss it, but it's better not to use tiles. And then. Then notify the on-site supervisor and ask them to complete the basic decoration of room No. 1 as soon as possible. Also, be sure to remember that the entire set is made of polished building materials. ”

"Han Xiuya, contact the field workers and the headquarters, I need a pure white piano, and after contacting, I will temporarily put it in the props room of the headquarters. In addition, I need four of Jacobson's egg-shaped chairs, remember to use the red ones. If you get stuck in the accounting department because of the price, ask FD to contact Jiang Xijun and say that I said it. ”

"Also, someone else modeled Room Two. I'm going to put a round table in this room with a zebra tablecloth. Discuss what props you need to place to complement this point. ”

A series of incorrect instructions blurted out, and the entire art team immediately ran at high speed. If there is anyone who will be with me for the next period of time, it will be the art team.

As a director, the so-called hands-on work does not mean that everything needs to be done by you. It means that everything needs to be arranged by you, and every problem that comes back needs to be solved by you.

When the team of 43 people all started to do things, the problems that arose were naturally chaotic.

The choice of wallpaper and floor building materials, this problem is the first to feedback back. Because my requirements are a bit special, the polishing degree is even set to the point that it is a bit strict. So the supervisor who was notified by Park Meigong came directly to my side. He said that although there are many materials on the market, if you consider the cost and the degree of reflection of light, it is better to look at the materials on the spot before choosing.

After listening to the overseer's proposal, I pursed my lips and took out my phone to check the time. Then he waved his hand to call the person in charge of the coordination team and the busy PD, and then took a few members of the art team to get on the bus and set off.

The building materials market, which is mixed with thousands of colors and textures, is a place that tests people's aesthetics very much. At the same time, it is also an extremely easy place for people to confuse the ideas in their heads.

Looking at the various building materials, the established picture in my mind was a little confused for a while. The first room is a dark crimson room, the second room is a zebra tablecloth, etc., what kind of background should the zebra tablecloth match? Black? Gray? Purple!

The same space as the cold and the dye room, resulting in a lack of sensory depth. I had a headache with coffee before, and this will start coming out to me again. The building materials that should be chosen here are even a little unclear for a while.

He took a bottle of aloe vera juice from the busy PD and filled half of the bottle in one go. Then let them walk around here first, and I walked out of the building materials market alone. Pause at the doorway and smoke a cigarette to gather your thoughts.

Last night's three-hour sleep caused me to dare not close my eyes at this time. I just twitched my eyes one bite at a time, occasionally moving my neck and looking up at the sky.

The time for a cigarette soon ended, and he went back to join the crowd. Thinking about the key to this trip, I tried to take my attention away from the color of the building materials. Just keep your eyes open and stare at the reflectivity of the materials. Today's weather is not good, and the sky is cloudy, so I turn on the light source of my mobile phone to shine it. This is not the reason why I am making such a big fuss and wasted so much effort to find the right materials, all because the background and color are extremely important parts of my whole MV.

After nearly two hours of roaming, my eyes were sour when I left the building materials market. But finally, the first problem was solved. Yes, that's just the first question.

Next:

The writers' group, who had been listening to the song for a long time and brainstorming, gave me a lot of concrete ideas. Then, we have to hurry up and gather the remaining members of the FD and PD groups to have a second meeting non-stop. The plan I wrote by hand was just a craggy skeleton. Now, we're going to have to go through multiple meetings like this to quickly flesh it out into a few scripts.

What I got from S&M was the right to shoot two MVs. For a music video, I've decided to challenge Oake's shooting techniques. In other words, the script of this MV will have a large degree of integrity and coherence. Strictly speaking, it only takes one script to shoot it from start to finish. The other MV, in addition to the overall script outline, also requires multiple storyboard scripts.

It was destined to be a very time-consuming job, and it was also destined to be a work that I had to participate in all the time. The purpose of the writers' team is simply to make suggestions to me, and the purpose of my existence is to review those suggestions. Then inlaid into their own overall shooting and walked towards the central area.

The second meeting lasted a bit longer, probably until about nine o'clock in the evening. Today's dinner was really casual, and I still couldn't eat much.

After the script-related meeting, I returned to building the scene. It's as if you're going back and forth between your mind and reality. A lot of exhaustion is getting deeper, but there is no way. Because these two, organically combined, it is an MV!

In another hour, most of the team will be off work. However, the previous notice was not entirely unreasonable. The art team, which brought daily necessities, had to stay here to stay up late with me.

The most pressing issue at the moment is not to write all the scripts. The construction and layout of the scene is the most important problem that needs to be solved quickly. Because the dancer only gave me four days.

Only after the set is solved first, can the dancer choreograph the dance steps as soon as possible. Only after choreographing the dance steps can the members of SJ start the line dance. When the rehearsal begins, the shooting can be said to be a formal touch.

As for the script, this question is much simpler for me, who already has a lot of pictures in my head. (To be continued......)
