Chapter 107: Hands-on
Hollywood equipment and personnel were soon in place, and Zack Schneider, the cameraman and his assistants were in the F150 trailer, driving a huge film camera, slowly gliding through the streets of the South City at ten o'clock.
"A little unstable......"
The car stopped, and Song Ya, who was in the passenger seat, opened the door and got out of the car, hearing the photographer muttering to the monitor.
"LET'S DO IT AGAIN, APLUS, CAN YOU PICK A BETTER SECTION?" Zack Schneider asked.
"It's okay, it's okay if it's unstable, it can still be a bit documentary......"
Song Ya got back into the car and said to Delai, who was driving: "Go back and walk again, slow down, be steady, but be careful not to violate traffic rules." ”
DeLay turned the car around.
After the second walk, Song Ya asked Delai to drive the car directly outside the door of the underground nightclub.
The crew has set up the equipment, and some of the 'related households' who learned through various channels that there are MV shoots are scattered on the side of the street, most of them are black, more men and fewer women, and they look at the black pressure in the dim night, and those who don't know think that the gang is assembled, Lao Qiao and a few flower turbans of hell bobtails leaned against the corner and chatted, and by the way, they were in the field.
"Hey! APLUS! ”
Eric, who had been with Song Ya, handed over a large stack of papers, "I listened to your new song, really, it's so X, it's amazing!" ”
"Thank you." Song Ya casually flipped through these portrait authorization documents, "Have you signed them all?" ”
"Pretty much, but it's a lot of people...... "Eric replied.
Song Ya knew that the black people at the bottom didn't care much about this kind of right, and if they signed it or not, they would go through the form, just like AK had told him before, no one would care about these small details.
"Okay, thanks, Eric." Song Ya bumped fists with him.
"I would have continued to mess with you if I had known...... I regret it. Eric turned his back to the others and whispered, "There will be such a good thing to find me in the future, I feel that I sing better than Dilley." ”
"Haha, no problem bro."
Song Ya responded casually, threw the documents into the car, and went to find Lao Qiao, "Old Qiao, it's all up to you here." ”
"No problem."
"It's time to start!" Old Joe stood in front of the crowd and shouted, Song Ya pushed Zack Schneider in front of him, "This is the director, be clever later, let you do whatever you want!" He shouted at Zack Schneider.
"Guys, let's take a panoramic view first...... Don't even look at the camera. "Zack Schneider went to get busy.
"The new song is very good, why not increase the publicity? Boy, this song is so much better than your last sissy. ”
Old Qiao hugged Song Ya and walked back to the corner, "Is Colombia treating you badly?" ”
"No, it's okay." Song Ya shrugged, he didn't want to tell Lao Qiao too much about Sony Columbia Records, "There will be your drama later, right?" I'll ask Zach to give you a close-up. ”
"Yay." Old Joe pointed to the extended Lincoln parked on the side of the street, "I'm going to be in the mirror with it later." ”
"It's up to you."
Zack Schneider filmed for more than an hour, quickly getting the close-up of the group part and Lao Qiao and others, and adding some shots of nearby buildings and scenery.
"It's my turn." Song Ya said goodbye to Lao Qiao, took out the red and black hat of the Bulls in the car and put it on crookedly, and changed into a new black short-sleeved T-shirt.
Zack Schneider began to instruct his subordinates to sit down and prepare, and rehearsed the route with Song Ya and the photographer a few times, "Action! With his command, DeLay pressed the tape recorder button on the car, and the Remember the Name prelude sounded.
Song Ya stepped forward, lip-syncing to the music while occasionally learning to make hip-hop gestures while keeping his eyes on the camera, the cameraman and assistant slowly backing away in front of him with heavy cameras and Steadicam equipment.
"Cards! Do it again! ”
In one shot, Zack Schneider commanded as he looked at the monitor.
In front of so many people, the director still had to be respected, Song Ya returned to his original position, and Dele played the accompaniment again......
In the last shot, the photographer followed Song Ya all the way to the door of the underground nightclub, and from this point on, the rest of the MV part will be transferred to the A+ record shooting, and Zack Schneider will use editing skills to make the MV not lose its coherence.
was busy until the early hours of the morning, ending the filming outside the underground nightclub, and the next day, Song Ya held a party at A+ Records.
The A+ Records space was too small, so Song Ya asked Goodman to get the landlord of the building, and rented half of the common space on the fourth floor from him, still at night, after all, there were other companies working here during the day.
“YO!” Big A and they all have a share, and he and his little brother have deliberately taken a good look at it, "What time will the shooting start?" He rubbed his hands excitedly, looking like he couldn't wait, "I didn't have many girls today, you said you don't want too many people." ”
"Thanks, no way, it's too small." Song Ya bumped fists with him, "Wait a minute, I'll let you know when filming starts." ”
He first walked to the rented public space on the fourth floor, where the professional service company he had worked with had already set up a bar, and many men and women were hooking up while drinking, and when he saw Song Ya come in, the crowd was in a commotion.
"HEY, APLUS!"
"Hi~"
Everyone greeted him warmly.
"Are you still satisfied?" Song Ya chatted with them nonsense, "What should you do when filming starts, don't look at the camera?" ”
After getting a satisfactory answer, he walked to the A+ record, whether it was Big A's radio station or his own record company, there were people standing there, each holding a wine glass and twisting his body gently with the music, seeing him, the same greeting continued.
Song Ya kept repeating the instructions just now, there was no way, he praised Haikou from the producer, and when the film was used too much, the budget was overrun, and everyone didn't look good.
"Andrew, Henry!" He walked into the control room, and the two technical nerds were very calm, and at this time they were still sitting in front of the computer discussing something, "Have you read all the scripts?" ”
After receiving an affirmative reply, he said, "We'll come in and shake hands with you when the shooting starts......," he said, "It's not this kind of handshake, it's like this." Teach the two to shake hands in a way similar to a wrist wrench in a black way, "You first look at the computer screen and pretend to be busy, wait for me to stretch out my hand and then look back and smile and shake hands, such a handshake, remember?" ”
"We're really busy." Andrew laughed.
"Rest, it's a lie today." Song Ya also smiled.
After communicating with the two, he walked outside his office, the original furnishings in the small space were all moved into the office and stacked, and the billiard table that Big A originally placed against the wall was put back again, and several men and women were playing billiards.
"Ferge, ...... you" Song Ya was satisfied with their concentration, and out of the corner of his eye, he swept to Fergi, who was standing in front of the arcade playing Pacman, and he walked over, and Fergi's sister was holding a wine glass, watching from the sidelines.
"Why are you dressed like this?" He asked the two dissatisfied.
Fergie wore a polka-dotted butterfly sleeve shirt today, while his sister Dana was still wearing it at home, with an old-fashioned light green thin coat over it.
"You ask her." Becky twisted the joystick with an unhappy face, and replied quietly, as if she was not satisfied with the current outfit.
"What are you doing here?" Song Ya pinched the coat of this ordinary woman who was almost thirty years old and trembled, "Are you from the United States?" This is a body, how will you two wear this and wait for my MV? Look at the other people......" He pointed to the girls playing billiards over there, all of them were showy, and one girl had a short skirt so short that whenever she leaned down to hit the ball, the people behind could clearly see the briefs inside.
"She's still ......," Dana said unconfidently.
"Xiao didn't wear it like this, I don't believe you haven't seen the body over there in Hollywood? Let's go for a change! Song Ya said sternly, "There is still time, I'll wait for you." ”
Dana couldn't help it, so she took Fergie's hand and walked out.
"Don't make me dissatisfied!" Song Ya shouted at their backs, "Otherwise, Fei Ji won't want to be better with me!" ”
Phygie turned back behind her sister and winked at Song Ya with a snicker.
"Boss." Mawota found Song Ya, holding an extinguished leaf roll in her hand, "Someone is secretly smoking this in the bathroom." ”
“FXXX!” Song Ya rushed to the bathroom, where a young black man was cursing.
"I'm clean! Didn't I notice? ”
Song Ya shouted at him on the forehead, and the other party quickly coaxed, lowering his head and avoiding his gaze uneasily.
Song Ya reached directly into his pocket, found a small bag, and threw it into the toilet bowl and flushed it along with the one that Mawota 'captured', "Don't make a fuss with me, I don't want to see anyone take this out when the MV starts filming!" ”
After taking care of all of this herself, Song Ya finally calmed down a little and informed Zack Schneider that filming could start on time.
Not long after, the Ferge sisters also returned, her sister wore a slightly conservative evening dress, but it was okay, Fergie was a low-cut dress, in order to make up for her height, she stepped on a pair of high heels with high heels, which more and more highlighted her sexy figure beyond her age. It's a pity that there is a thin shirt with a base in it, and she still pouts dissatisfiedly, and asks Song Ya for help with a bitter face.
"Come into my office and take off this one." Song Ya spoke directly.
"MR. APLUS." Dana whispered in protest.
"I don't need to add Mr. after APLUS, Dana, singers, especially female singers, have always been at the forefront of fashion, and I don't want people to say that my record company can't even pack its artists. After the MV comes out and is played, are you happy to see the entertainment tabloids laughing at Fergie's rustic? And I'm actually not satisfied with this short skirt, so I'll forget it today, I'll find an image designer to buy her a few sets when I go back. Song Yayi finished teaching the other party a stern lesson, took out the office key from his pocket and handed it to Fei Ji, "Go inside and change it." ”
"Thank you." Fergie took the keys and happily trotted into the office.
Not long after, she appeared in front of Song Ya again, the fair-skinned mountains towering under the low-cut skirt, and she was squeezed out of a deep ravine.
"That's right."
Song Ya took the key she returned with satisfaction, gave a thumbs up to Zack Schneider, who signaled outside that he was ready, and slapped a few more times, "Everyboby!" Draw everyone's attention, "Remember the name!" MV shooting has officially begun! ”
