Chapter 56: The Little Apple (Part II)
The drink of pride, the drink of pleasure, the staggered planning, the cup is changed!
After watching the first two episodes of The Voice of China, the atmosphere returned to a cheerful origin, after all, everyone present has made great achievements recently, and they are all proud, how can it be possible to let that sad atmosphere shroud for too long?
In addition, there were no outsiders present, all of them were Xiao Jiaban's own brothers, everyone drank happily and played freely, after all, after more than ten years of getting along, they had already been harmonious with each other like a family.
During the banquet, the second senior brother Lei Xiaolong put his arm on Xiao Ran's shoulder and said: "Xiao Ran, you are so talented, you wrote a few songs that made Xiao Xiao and Tang Yun popular, and casually filmed a promotional MV and made Sanmao popular, and now there are many crews waiting to invite him to make a movie, can you see if you can also help the senior brother operate it, let me also be popular?" ”
As soon as he said this, he was directly knocked on the head by his biological brother Lei Xiaohu: "You drank too much, right?" Do you think Xiao Ran is a superman? Just operate it can make you angry, and you don't look at your virtues? ”
Because he is cheap-mouthed on weekdays, Lei Xiaolong has not been blamed by his brothers and sisters, but when others say his words, Lei Xiaolong dares to refute a few words, but when he meets his master Xiao Yuanshan and his own eldest brother, he has no choice, and he can't speak for a while.
Xiao Ran stood up to help him out and said: "Senior brother, don't blame Brother Long, everyone is a little vanity in the film industry, and it is actually a good thing to want to be popular, otherwise where will you have the perseverance to persist in this circle?" Don't say that I really have a concept now, it's also in the form of a song MV, I'll show you the lyrics and tunes later......"
"Really? That's great! ”
Hearing Xiao Ran say this, Lei Xiaolong happily turned a few times on the spot, and fortunately, the place where they drank was in the practice room in the house, so the venue was very large.
Lei Xiaohu also patted Xiao Ran's shoulder at this time: "Xiao Ran, don't worry about you kid, you have to participate in the voice competition next, let's deal with your own affairs first." ”
Xiao Ran shook his head and said, "It's okay, senior brother." In fact, I have completed all the works of the next competition of The Voice, and the song MV I told the second senior brother was actually ready to be filmed long ago, and now the promotional MV of "Kung Fu STYLE" is an instant hit, and it is indeed the right time. ”
Hearing Xiao Ran's affirmative tone, Lei Xiaolong was already laughing from ear to ear, but Xiao Ran's words blinded him: "But second senior brother, this song MV requires you to dress up as a man, is there a problem?" ”
As soon as Xiao Ran's words came out, everyone burst into laughter.
Lei Xiaolong's face flushed and said, "You mean you want me to pretend to be a woman?"
Xiao Ran nodded, so he saw Lei Xiaolong silent for a moment, and then shouted loudly: "Damn, as long as you can be popular once, pretend to be a woman, pretend to be a woman, Lao Tzu has never been afraid!" ”
Xiao Ran knew that Lei Xiaolong must know that he didn't look good, and he knew that it would be difficult to have a chance to get ahead in this circle, so he cherished the opportunity, thinking that Xiao Ran's previous works could basically cause a great sensation, and the promotional MV of "Kung Fu SYTLE" won more than 500 million hits in less than a month!
So he is willing to believe Xiao Ran, just pretending to be a woman, what is he afraid of if he can be popular once? Who in the film and television industry doesn't want to have the opportunity to be the protagonist once in their lifetime? No one wants to be a trickster all their lives, even if they know that they are not as good as others, but they will not be willing in their hearts!
Seeing Lei Xiaolong's serious expression, Xiao Ran immediately saw through his thoughts, and immediately lost the urge to tease him, just patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Brother Xiaolong, as long as you dare to sacrifice, I guarantee that you will be on fire!" ”
……
The next day, still in Huaxia Film and Television City, Xiao Ran borrowed an assistant director and a whole team of professional staff from Director Xu, and then began to prepare for the MV of "Little Apple".
After handing over the written storyboard script to the assistant director of Struggle Film Company, and explaining what the song wanted to express and the style clearly, Xiao Ran watched the shooting from the side.
Because this assistant director has actually been following Xu Guangwen for nearly ten years, this time he is acting as a director alone, and he still shoots a song MV that is no more than five minutes long, so it is not difficult for him.
However, he is still very serious, because he knows that all the concepts of the movie MV "Kung Fu STYLE" filmed by the eighth master before are from the young man in front of him, and in the end, "Kung Fu STYLE" is unprecedentedly hot, and even the value and number of fans of the eighth master have been doubled.
At this moment, with such an opportunity for cooperation, the assistant director naturally didn't want to let it go, and took the initiative to ask Ying to come over to help, and treated Xiao Ran very politely, obviously not having the slightest contempt because of his age.
However, Xiao Ran didn't interfere with the shooting, but just told the assistant director that he hoped he could shoot strictly according to the storyboard script he wrote.
The assistant director also agreed to this point, you must know that even the great director Xu Guangwen's current filming of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" is based on the script written by Xiao Ran, as well as the sub-shot script that Xiao Ran added in the later stage, and Director Xu also filmed in strict accordance with Xiao Ran's intentions, without the slightest change, and he naturally has no need to modify Xiao Ran's things.
At the beginning of the MV of the whole song, the handsome Lei Xiaohu and an average-looking girl met in a restaurant, because she felt that her appearance was not worthy of Lei Xiaohu, so the woman decided to go for plastic surgery.
As a result, under the operation of the plastic surgeon, she was made into Lei Xiaolong, so the woman collapsed, and then the camera fell and it was the turn of the Lei brothers who had completed plastic surgery to dance under the apple tree together half-naked and mosaic.
And the dancing girl who appeared in the middle is naturally based on the principle that Xiao Ran's fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, and continues to be played by Xiao Xiao, who has already played the heroine in "Kung Fu STYLE" before.
Then the story that comes down is actually to imitate the story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, and after stealing the small apple that represents **, there are various scenes and fragments of chaos, and there is the dance that is integrated with the song.
In fact, from a professional point of view, the lyrics and choreography of "Little Apple" are all on the simple side, but it is this simplicity that is destined to have a wider audience, basically people who have seen the song MV can easily sing this song, and can also dance out of the dance steps.
This also allows the public to imitate lightly, and everyone can participate in it, which is actually a way of dealing with the simplicity of the avenue, everyone can fully understand and participate, and it also leads to the birth of the Divine Comedy!
