Chapter 83: Mandela
Shao Dacheng is Chinese New Year's Eve years old today, and like most students who graduated from the directing department of the film and television academy, after graduating from college, he joined a TV crew through the introduction of the school. But one radish and one pit, so many directors in China graduate from school every year, but the number of crews in China cannot increase by the same amount.
In the directing industry, talent does not mean that your future is bright, but the background you need more is the opportunity and the ability to grasp the opportunity. Shao Dacheng knew that he had been working in the TV crew, maybe he could become an assistant director at the age of forty or fifty, which was not what he wanted, so he chose to give up and joined Dynasty Entertainment as the assistant director of the MV shooting.
Although the director at the same time, the status of the director is also different, the most basic criterion for measuring the influence of a director is how much wealth the director can create, and with this standard as a measure, the director with the largest fame income is naturally the film director, and they can create hundreds of millions of movie box office at every turn. The second is the director of the TV series, like Director Chen Xiaolong, an episode of the TV series can be sold for a price of one million, and his reputation may not be as big as that of a film director, but he is definitely the top in the director circle.
And the most unqualified of directors are MV directors, and their existence is entirely for the sake of vassal singers. The reason why Shao Dacheng was able to become an assistant director at the age of 30 was precisely because he changed his career from the original TV director to be an MV director. has several years of experience in the filming of TV dramas, and he is from a professional background, so he was quickly promoted to assistant director.
"Director Shao, this MV is roughly like this, but I have never been a director, and I am a layman professionally, so I asked you, a professional, to help me express the effect I want." Nanfeng explained to Shao Dacheng very politely.
"Of course, you are the director, I am the assistant director, and my job is naturally to help you shoot the film." Shao Dacheng is not a person with a very strong desire to control, and it can even be said that he is not a motivated person, otherwise he would not have jumped from the TV industry to become a MV director, and he naturally did not refuse to accept Nanfeng's requirements.
After all, Shao Dacheng has been engaged in the shooting of TV dramas, maybe he was just a miscellaneous person at that time, but after all, he has been in the crew for a long time, coupled with the experience of occasionally holding the camera in Dynasty Entertainment in the past two years, which is enough to make him qualified for the position of MV director.
"Nanfeng, do you see, the director's job is not as simple as you think, the same work is completed in such a short time in the hands of professionals, you have been busy all day and still have no clue." Song Jiajia seized the opportunity to strike.
"Miss Song has won the award, in fact, Nan Dao's preparation work in advance has been done well, and you can shoot directly when you come, and the sense of picture is very strong, Nan Dao thinks very clearly about every step of the picture, I just took what he said." Shao Dacheng modestly shirked a sentence and secretly praised Nanfeng.
"Did you hear that, this is what Director Shao said, I didn't say it, I haven't studied directing, if I have studied I'll definitely be able to shoot a good MV!" Nanfeng said proudly.
"Just you? Come on! Song Jiajia despised it!
"Miss Song, I still agree with Director Nan's words, the most important thing for the director is the imagination of the picture. When the director is making a film, he must have an overall imagination of the picture in the film, so that when shooting specifically, they know what kind of lens to use and what kind of color effect to shoot. In fact, the biggest difference between a good director and an ordinary director is their imagination, and in this regard, Director Nan is much stronger than me. ”
"If Director Nan accepts systematic learning, masters certain directing skills, and has some experience, I dare not say anything else, shooting MVs is still very powerful, at least much better than me." Before Nanfeng could explain, Shao Dacheng began to help Nanfeng defend himself.
"Did you hear that, if I had received systematic learning, I would be able to shoot TV series!" The south wind was stiff.
The cooperation between Nanfeng and Shao Dacheng is undoubtedly very tacit, the details of the MV are determined by Nanfeng, Shao Dacheng is not good at considering the MV scene, but he has rich shooting experience, and he can often send out the desired effect very faithfully according to the requirements of Nanfeng, and with the sincere cooperation of the two, the shooting of the new album MV has been put on the right track.

"Nanfeng, haven't you watched the news in the past few days, Mandela passed away yesterday, and you also posted a blog post to mourn." Song Jiajia suddenly found Nanfeng and asked.
"Mandela, who? Why is he dead, I want to post a blog post to mourn? Nanfeng was confused and asked inexplicably.
"Mandela is the most famous proletarian revolutionary in the world, he has been fighting for the rights of the proletariat all his life, you also know the nature of our country, his death even the United Nations flag was lowered at half-mast, and the leaders of our country have also publicly expressed their condolences, and now many celebrities and artists have posted condolences, whether you know Mandela or not, at least you have to mean it." Song Jiajia replied patiently.
"Well, okay, I'll post a blog post of condolences when I get back." Nanfeng actually doesn't like this kind of show-style performance very much, but that's the case in the entertainment industry, don't mix in the entertainment industry if you don't know how to show.
Since he wants to post a blog post to mourn this great man, Nanfeng naturally wants to find out in advance what is great about this great man, fortunately, Mandela's death is also a big news in the world, and the content about Mandela is everywhere on the Internet.
"Good boy, so fierce!" Looking at Mandela's resume, Nanfeng was stunned, he has won more than 100 international awards and published more than 500 articles in 40 years, many of which Nanfeng learned in politics class when he was a student.
"Worked all his life for the word equality, was sentenced to 27 years in prison for opposing ethnic segregation, 17 years in prison for helping the proletariat fight for its legitimate interests, and another three years for fighting for equality for blacks......"
Looking at Mandela's tragic life, what can Nanfeng say except to say a sigh, although he lived to be 95 years old, he was a student in the first 20 years, and he was arrested in prison 14 times in the next 75 years, and the cumulative prison time reached 50 years, so it can be said that prison is his second home!
"There are only two kinds of people who can do this level, the first is a saint, the second is a fool, whether he is a saint or a fool, he has been dedicated all his life, and he should indeed express respect for him!"
Nanfeng didn't know about Mandela beforehand, and Song Jiajia asked him to post a blog post, and he was a little resistant, but now that he knows Mandela's life deeds, Nanfeng also respects this person who has been dedicated all his life from the bottom of his heart.

"Director Nan, how should the MVs for the remaining songs be filmed?" Shao Dacheng consulted Nanfeng's opinion.
"Let's put it off for the time being, I haven't thought about it yet, anyway, I'm not in a hurry, I'm going to participate in the original musician contest this Saturday, I haven't prepared yet, you can help me think about it in the past two days."
The shooting of the MV went very smoothly, but there were still a few songs left that could not be filmed. For example, the song "Da Lang Laughing Jianghu", the content in the MV looks like an excerpt from a movie, and it will inevitably feel weird if you copy it directly, in addition, the MV of the song "Long Time No See" is like a silent movie, and it is impossible to copy it, and the content of the MV must be replaced.
"The MV of the song "Long Time No See" will be filmed according to the story in that novel, and you will arrange for someone to contact Xiaowei and Xiaoxia to see if they are willing to help shoot the MV as the hero and heroine, if they are unwilling, you are going to choose someone, Director Shao will work hard in the past two days, and go to the field to choose a few shooting scenes." Nanfeng thought about it and felt that the filming of the song "Long Time No See" could be done in accordance with the article "My Love is Perfect".
"Okay, then I'll be busy, Nandao come on, I wish you good results!" Shao Dacheng said with a smile.
"Xie Lu Xie ......"
The theme of the next game is rock, compared with the previous theme, this theme has no table ball to wipe, no matter what you sing, but the song must be rock, the previous four games can find a way out from the lyrics, but this time the title is directly aimed at the song.
Rock 'n' roll is not something that anyone can sing well, and some people's voices are inherently unsuitable for rock 'n' roll. Nanfeng's voice is still very good, it can be soft when singing tender songs, and it can soar up when singing high notes. Singing rock and roll can barely be controlled, so he didn't plan to hire a singer.
However, if South Wind is not invited, it does not mean that others are not invited, and it is conceivable that some of the other people will definitely invite rock singers to help. Whether rock songs are good or not, the singer has half the influence, and Nanfeng doesn't think he can win in singing, so he has to find a suitable song to participate in the competition.
"The song 'Being' has a bit of rock 'n' roll, but it's not very distinctive; The song "Princess" has a very rock feeling, but it is not very easy to sing, to be determined first...... "Nanfeng began to seriously consider the song to sing.
"Huh? Cantonese song, Mandela? Looking at the MV, Nanfeng suddenly knew what to sing!
(This is the second shift, and yesterday I promised a third shift, so although it's late now, I will do what I promised!) )
