Chapter 61: Shoot MTV and Start Getting Started

Located in Jiuxianqiao, Nine Trees Creative Park used to be a factory with many warehouses.

After the abandonment, many photography agencies remodeled their sets or studios on the basis of factories and warehouses, with different styles and full of artistic atmosphere.

Surrounded by rivers, woods and country parks, the scenery is pleasant and can be used as a natural landscape backdrop for filming.

Wang Xun and Yang Xiaomi's new album and many MTV scenes were filmed here.

On a June day, at 7 o'clock in the morning, the sky was bright and the sun was already high in the sky.

Wang Xun accompanied Yang Xiaomi to finish his morning work and sat at the table to eat breakfast.

Godfather Yang Xiaolin looked at the newspaper and said casually, "Smash, there will be news within a week, I will ask the apprentices to keep an eye on it."

Wang Xun bit the bun in his mouth, and said in a deep voice: "Godfather, I asked Brother Danchao to find a paparazzi, they are well-informed, and they will communicate with each other when the time comes."

Godfather Yang Xiaolin nodded.

Looking for her mother, Li Hong's eyes widened angrily, and she suddenly interjected: "Son, you are at ease, you can't be angry with any amount of money!" I'll leave this matter to your mother, do you want to go to CCTV or Yanjing? "Xiao Cui Says Things" or "Interview with Yang Lan"?"

Wang Xun's bun almost fell on the table, he was really a little dumbfounded, and said with a stumbling voice, "Isn't it possible to play both shows?"

Godmother Yang Chunling smiled beside her, and added: "The chief producers of these two shows are friends with your mother, and our Xunmi Group in the advertising department is definitely a big customer, so..."

The Versailles atmosphere in his tone simply made Wang Xun feel that he was the biggest plug-in he had crossed, as if he was his mother.

He shook his head and said, "It's not in a hurry now, I'll go to Ning Hao to connect with MTV later, and wait for the album to be launched before it is on the show."

Looking for her mother, Li Hong's eyes suddenly lit up, and she said with a smile, "Do you have to wear clothes to find honey?

Mom, there are a few styles here that don't sell well, you and Mimi can spread the word."

Wang Xun shook his head helplessly and said, "Take it, forget it if it's not good-looking!"

Looking for her mother, Li Hong continued with a smile: "You may not look good in it, but Mimi will definitely look good in it! A natural beauty!"

After that, all the adults began to make fun of Yang Xiaomi's appearance.

Wang Xun complained in his heart: "I, Nima, who is the kiss? The elbow is too outward!"

In the midst of laughter, Yang Xiaomi smiled proudly, covered her mouth and secretly said to Wang Xun, "You have picked up the treasure, you must know to cherish it!"

Wang Xun nodded obediently from the ground.

After breakfast, Master Qin drove Wang Xun, Yang Xiaomi and 50 sets of exaggerated unsalable summer clothes to Nine Trees Creative Park.

Last night, I agreed with Ning Hao to shoot in a studio renovated from a warehouse.

The interior is divided into many spaces of varying sizes.

There are large set stages, backdrop walls, and there are also separate small rooms.

Actors can use makeup and rest, staff work and rest, and store costumes and equipment.

When Wang Xun and Yang Xiaomi came in, the crew was still busy, in an open rest area, and there were many staff inside.

Wang Xun grabbed a staff member and asked, "What about Lao Ning, why didn't you see anyone?"

The staff pointed inside, and Wang Xun thanked him.

He pulled Yang Xiaomi and rushed in, and Master Qin and Xiao Li promised 50 clothes to follow.

I accidentally found an acquaintance, it was none other than the obscene Xiao Yang, and his temperament was still so outstanding.

After Xiao Yang found Wang Xun, he who was originally squatting on the ground for wiring, suddenly got up and said with a smile: "Xunzi, I haven't seen you for a while, come and ask my brother to see if you are handsome again?"

Wang Xun let go of Yang Xiaomi's hand, laughed and hugged Xiao Yang forward, how can he say that the horn he went to hold out is kind.

He opened his mouth and said, "Brother Yang, since "My Sassy Girlfriend", I haven't seen you take any role?

Xiao Yang's smile slowly disappeared, and he sighed and said, "Xunzi, brother has been a little bitter in the past two years!

When I became famous in a play, didn't this add up to studying to save some tuition?

took on two roles blindly, and the movie was all over!

None of them were released, and I didn't win awards overseas, and the two grandson directors ruined my reputation everywhere, saying that I didn't win awards because I didn't have good acting skills. I'm not good at acting, what is he looking for?"

Yang Xiaomi came out at the right time to enliven this sad atmosphere, and joked with a smile: "Oh, Brother Yang, you are behind the blame. How big things are to see the opening point, the edge of the sword is sharpened out, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold! Come on!"

Xiao Yang smiled when he heard this, arched his hand and said, "Come on, honey, your mouth is sweet, borrow your auspicious words."

Wang Xun hurriedly asked, "By the way, I forgot to ask why you are here?"

Xiao Yang smiled bitterly and said, "No one is looking for filming, Brother Qian's department wants a handsome guy."

My image is not suitable, but fortunately, I listened to his advice at the time, and now I am studying film and television advertising director in the Department of Fine Arts at the Film Academy.

Brother Hao has a job, isn't this here to practice?"

Wang Xun and Yang Xiaomi nodded in unison.

Suddenly, there was a burst of heroic laughter, and the three of them looked for it when they heard the sound, only to see Ning Hao with this big gold chain the thickness of a baby's finger shining like a bandit.

Wang Xun rolled his eyes, and hey, Ning Hao was fat again, and his head was big again.

I looked at the thin head from a distance, and I saw the posture of the big sweet potato up close.

Ning Hao came up and hugged Wang Xun, and said with a smile: "I received a call from you yesterday, this is a bureau that will be set up for you overnight, brother is particular!"

Wang Xun was hugged by the waist, and said helplessly, "That's necessary, Brother Hao is mighty!"

Ning Hao smiled and said solemnly, "Looking for a son, but you don't pay attention to it! Why don't you call me if you have a problem? Look down on me?"

Brother Hao is worthy of growing up in Mukden when he was a child, and this Northeast dialect is authentic.

Wang Xun was confused, and hurriedly asked, "You have given me a whole cover, I haven't encountered any difficulties!"

Ning Hao said in a deep voice, "What's going on in the newspaper? I can tell you, I have something to do with the Tang Dynasty, and I can help to make peace."

[In view of the general environment,

Wang Xun shook his head and smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Hao, let's do this!

It was Zhang Yadong's grandson, and he didn't talk to me about music and art.

Rock and pop are both forms of music that only entered the mainland in the 80s.

I'm out of luck lying down and being shot!

Uh, isn't that right?

I know Zheng Jun, how can there be anything about the Tang Dynasty?"

Ning Hao took out the newspaper pinned to the waistband of his trousers and read it to Wang Xun: "Wang Xun, that kid should listen to rock and roll more, I think rock and roll is spiritual, independent spirit, resisting the establishment, freedom, love, and courage!"

Wang Xun smiled angrily, and said with a cold face, "Was his brain kicked by a donkey, or was there too much medicine?

Don't even understand the broken sentence?

Is this the spirit of rock 'n' roll?

Is this something that is supposed to be like a human being can also be pulled into rock and roll?

Then if I don't listen to rock 'n' roll, I can't be called a human?"

Ning Hao's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "How else can you say that you are talented?

I want to have a fight with Zhang Yadong, how can I bully children?

It's a pity that my brother can't talk."

Wang Xun glanced at Ning Hao and complained, "Brother Hao, the age when I came out of my mother's body is 16 years old.

I came out of my dad's body at the age of 17.

Don't treat me like a child, I was a father at my age in ancient times!"

Ning Hao smiled and said, "It's the first time I've heard of such an explanation of the first year and the virtual year."

A group of old men began to laugh hey, hey, and laugh.

Yang Xiaomi felt that something was wrong, looked around, looked at the lewd smiles of this group of people to understand, and slapped Wang Xun***'s arm with a palm, and said shyly: "Make trouble, don't make a yellow mouth in front of me!" Be careful, I tell you my godfather and godmother...

king

Xun hurriedly covered her mouth and said in a panic, "Don't, don't! I didn't say anything! If you sue me, I won't admit it!"

He suddenly felt that his palms were moist, and he quickly moved away, and saw Yang Xiaomi sticking out her little fragrant tongue and making a grimace.

There's a kind of you in private, don't be public, it's easy to die, sister!

Yang Xiaomi saw that her prank succeeded, and she smiled heartily, and the laughter was directly integrated into the entire set.

Wang Xun said to Ning Hao with a dark face: "Brother Hao, don't delay your work, time is money, my friend!"

Ning Hao suppressed his laughter and shouted, "Hurry up and set up the scene, go into the house, and talk about the script."

Generally speaking, MTV shooting sequence, the recording studio records the song, and then according to the storyboard to develop a storyboard, select the scene, and it is best to sing each scene from beginning to end during the shooting, which is convenient for post-editing and selection.

The music should also be played synchronously while shooting, otherwise there is a high chance that the rhythm will not be right.

Of course, there are empty mirrors, but generally speaking, empty mirrors do not exceed twenty seconds.

The four of them laughed and walked into the actor's dressing room and sat down at a round table, Wang Xun took out the lyrics that had been prepared and sang "The Beauty of the World is Intertwined with You", "The Days of Bamboo Pole Hutong", and "I Want to Sing Me to You".

Yang Xiaomi's singles "Little Lucky", "Time to Cook Rain", "Tomorrow, Hello", "We Are All Good Children", "Fairy Tale Town".

also has his own singles "The Wind Rises", "Ten Miles of Spring Breeze", "Stubborn", "NeBoy", "Life Like a Summer Flower".

This year, filming mainland singers on MTV, there is no creativity, and the props are very simple.

It's just getting started, but if you think about the Xiangjiang pop music circle, when MTV was just popular, it was basically scenery with lyrics, even in the 90s, there were not many tricks!

The model of embarrassing singing is Zhang Weijian's song "High on the Top", just that "I am the Buddha Jade Emperor Guanyin Bodhisattva, designated to take the Western Scriptures to try, Huaguo Mountain Water Curtain Cave Monkey King, Monkey King, Monkey King, Monkey King, handsome to scum!"

is still singing with Andy Lau, MTV content, the two of them are singing awkwardly in the factory from beginning to end, and the camera directly scares about their big faces.

But the directors of Wanwan have a lot of fun, they are good at making MTV into sketch stories, and the pictures are exquisite and have a strong literary atmosphere.

The literary and artistic model is, "In the Name of the Father" in "Ye Huimei", MV director Kuang Sheng, he is good at film texture pictures, retro and delicate, perfect pictures, and directly made "In the Name of the Father" into a movie quality.

Of course, Wang Xun doesn't have many requirements now, he hasn't grown up at the age of 16, and there are many restrictions, such as not allowing him to shoot kiss scenes, and he will make up a version when he becomes an adult.

handed it to Ning Hao and asked him to look at it slowly, while Yang Xiaomi said on the side, "Brother Hao, I want a playground, a merry-go-round, and a Ferris wheel.

I also want a library, a staircase, a hallway, a green meadow."

Ning Hao nodded, pointed to the three duets and said, "These three songs can be filmed in the recording studio, you two can be recorded and sung, just insert some materials corresponding to the lyrics."

He scratched his head again and said, "The rest, let it go first, let's discuss, Mimi said that the playground is fine, but it definitely won't work today, you have to make an appointment!"

Yang Xiaomi said disappointedly, "Can't be today, Bai is excited."

Wang Xun shook his head, turned his head and rubbed her head and said, ""Time Cooks Rain" still has to find a few actresses to accompany you to play sisterhood, "Fairy Tale Town" can not be live-lived, just show it in animation. The rest has to be filmed."

Xiao Yang's eyes lit up and said, "Xunzi, I'm good at that animation, I'll leave this to me!"

Wang Xun nodded and said, "Brother Yang, just follow the lyrics, don't draw too ugly, don't look too similar, I'm afraid that Disney will ask me for copyright."

Xiao Yang was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "Isn't it still pulling out the copyright?"

Wang Xun sighed and said, "The lyrics are all foreign fairy tale images, you follow other people's paintings, you are not afraid of being accused!" Let's leave some word of mouth for us, so that foreigners don't have to find fault."

Ning Hao suddenly smiled when he heard this, and said, "You, you, even if it

It's different, people scold you!"

Yang Xiaomi said with a smile, "Yes, you can't control other people's mouths, do your best!"

Wang Xun sighed and said, "Mimi is right, so let's shoot?"

Ning Hao got up, patted his pants and said with a smile, "You guys sit down first, and I'll go draw a few storyboards."

You and Mimi choose your own clothes, don't be too flamboyant, be plain!"

Wang Xun waved goodbye to Ning Hao, took out his mobile phone and asked Master Qin to send the clothes in, put down the phone and said to Yang Xiaomi, "How about a white T-shirt with jeans?"

Yang Xiaomi thought about it, shook her head and said, "It's too plain, I'll take it myself in a while."

Wang Xun had no choice but to agree, but the hairstyle had to be said, and he said, "Mimi, do you want to have ponytail hair? Don't put your bangs together, it's too earthy, it's not atmospheric."

Yang Xiaomi glanced at him, tapped her fingers on her cheek and said confidently, "Sister, this face is suitable for all hairstyles."

Xiao Yang, who was drinking water on the side, almost choked to death, coughed and relieved his breath, and said with a flattering smile: "That honey is the most beautiful!"

This rainbow fart, if I hadn't seen your choking action, would have been perfect!

Yang Xiaomi's response to Xiao Yang was a sunny smile.

The corner of Wang Xun's eyes twitched.

It's really only good things to listen to and not bad words!

Half an hour later, Yang Xiaomi herself selected a white T-shirt from 50 outfits on the day of the audition, blue jeans underneath, and basketball shoes.

This combination made her smile at Wang Xun awkwardly, and explained, "No wonder it can't be sold, it really can't be controlled!"

Wang Xun covered his stomach after hearing this, and began to laugh wildly, until Ning Hao came out from the side and interrupted the scene.

Ning Hao waved his hand and dragged a sentence in English: "LET" SGO!"

The four of them came to the middle of the venue, and Ning Hao began to order, "Shoot this "Hello Tomorrow" first, and you will play the piano on the side.

Mimi lip-syncs and makes random movements, and I have two cameras to capture close-ups of the two of you.

What about the lights? After a while, the lights will be shining down from Mimi's head, and Mimi will remember not to look at the camera.

Props, a blower blows the curtains, and Mimi will loosen her hair without a ponytail."

Wang Xun really wanted to complain: "Brother Hao, I didn't find out that you would make women when I watched your movies in my previous life, I already knew that I was looking for Brother Qian!"

The rules on the set are to listen to the director, otherwise it will be difficult to take on the scene after your reputation is stinky, unless you are an actor of the level of Jiang Wen and Uncle Chen.

The MTV director is also a director, so he still honestly abides by the rules, and can't be arrogant just because he is Party A's father.

Master Qin handed the newly engraved CD to the recording engineer and told him to play it live.

After 5 minutes, the music stops.

Wang Xun ran to the monitor, looked at Yang Xiaomi's close-up, frowned, and whispered in Ning Hao's ear, "Brother Hao, it's too much! This camera level is a bit rough!"

Ning Hao said with embarrassment: "My junior brother, I'm not staring at the monitor, I don't have any experience for the first time."

Wang Xun continued to whisper, "The camera is too shaky, and the basic skills are unstable.

Let's go up to Stanley, it's all shaking and I get dizzy, and there's something wrong with his aperture! There's not even a change, the camera feels like it...

Ning Hao looked up at Wang Xun, his eyes were full of joy, and he asked in a relaxed tone, "Confidant, it's okay to find a son!"

Wang Xun shrugged his shoulders and said, "I usually read photography books, after all, I don't want to be fooled by your group!"

Ning Hao kicked Wang Xun lightly, and scolded with a smile: "Leave us something to eat, you big capitalist!"

Okay, I'll make it clear to you, this is a test shoot."

Wang Xun returned to his original position and continued to shoot for the second time.

Five minutes later, Wang Xun looked at the monitor with a frown, and suddenly thought of something, and whispered in Ning Hao's ear for a while.

Ning Hao thought for a while, patted Wang Xun's shoulder, and walked to the camera to take a close-up of Yang Xiaomi

Shi Xiaohao said beside him, "Senior brother, this is here to smash my field, I didn't listen well in class. Rest, I'll teach you!"

The cameraman Xiao Hao was not happy when he heard it, and retorted: "Senior brother, the actor's foundation is not good, it's not that my skills are not good!"

Yang Xiaomi was fried when she heard it, what is it? Am I not good at it?

Wang Xun suddenly heard someone questioning his aesthetics, he really couldn't bear it, and he didn't care about any rules and regulations!

He rushed to the cameraman Xiao Hao, and said with a head on his head, "What did you just say? Didn't your teacher teach you how to be polite?

I'm a customer, and I pay for it, so you treat your food and clothing parents like this?"

Ning Hao saw that it was not good, and quickly pulled the cameraman Xiao Hao away, and squirted Xiao Hao: ", what about saving your face, do you want to hear anything more ugly?"

If you hadn't begged me to give you a chance, you wouldn't even have the qualifications to stand, who would you be fooling?

Fuck off!"

Xiao Hao was furious, the green tendons on his neck flared up, and he said angrily: "It's just that the actor's foundation is not good, isn't it just a broken MTV, Lao Tzu won't do it anymore!"

With that, he pulled the work card off his neck, fell to the ground and turned to leave.

Ning Hao's face was flushed with anger, and he took out his mobile phone to call his mentor from Nortel's photography department, complaining all the time.

At this time, the whole group was silent, and the kind that could be heard when the needle landed.

He hung up the phone, turned his head to Wang Xun and patted his chest and said, "I'm sorry Xunzi, I'll take a picture of Mimi personally, rest assured that our ability to eat will definitely not be lost!"

Wang Xun nodded helplessly, walked to Yang Xiaomi, who was touching her head and was tightened, hugged her and said affectionately, "Don't listen to his nonsense, you are the best-looking!" Say, do you believe that neuroid or do you believe me?"

Yang Xiaomi forced a smile and said, "Of course I believe you! I'm not really angry, I'm used to it!"

Wang Xun had an idea, and said in Yang Xiaomi's ear: "I told Brother Hao, let's go to the playground at night to shoot, so that we can play as long as you want, okay?"

Yang Xiaomi finally smiled happily and nodded happily.

Wang Xun rubbed her hair and encouraged, "Come on! Brother Hao is in charge of the camera himself, and he will definitely be able to take a more beautiful picture of you!"

Yang Xiaomi smiled and said, "Well, Brother Hao can photograph Sister Li, I believe him!"

With that, the two parted and prepared separately.

Another 5 minutes later, Wang Xun and Ning Hao ran to the monitor like a race, staring at Yang Xiaomi's close-up together, obviously much better than just now, but it was not amazing enough, Wang Xun suddenly thought of why.

He raised his right index finger and said, "Use the filter to give Yang Xiaomi a soft light, and the effect of this shooting makes Mimi shrouded in a layer of hazy fairy energy, from dark to bright, and gradually changes with the lyrics!"

Ning Hao looked at Wang Xun suspiciously and asked, "Explain what it means to be shrouded in a layer of hazy immortal qi."

Wang Xun patted his head, Mom, this era is basically realistic, and it is not like later.

Crazy on the filter and playing soft light is a common trick in youth idol dramas, and later generations were even moved to martial arts films and historical dramas by Yu's mother.

He scratched his temples and said, "Like "Meteor Garden", the light is softer and looks youthful."

Ning Hao suddenly realized, and hurriedly turned around to look for the camera.

When he came back, he tried the lens first and shot it again.

He said, "It's been over!

Xunzi, you're right.

The shots are clean, the light is thorough, and the characters are fresh."

Wang Xun smiled, didn't speak, said a lot of mistakes, don't always interfere with professionals to do professional things.

Yang Xiaomi ran to the monitor, leaned over to Ning Hao's side to watch the camera playback, and said with a smile: "Who dares to say that I have a bad foundation, I buried him!" also waved two small pink fists, so cute!

Everyone in the crew was amused by Yang Xiaomi's actions, and finally swept away the haze and became cheerful.

A happy mood leads to efficient work efficiency

, Yang Xiaomi doesn't need to change clothes, but what is hard is a bunch of props and art, and she needs to change scenes frequently.

For example, in the picture of "Little Lucky", the classroom was full of thousands of paper cranes and wind chimes, and the wind blew the curtains non-stop, Yang Xiaomi hung her head back in the classroom, sometimes reaching out to play with the thousand paper cranes and wind chimes.

The picture flowed Yang Xiaomi holding a wildflower, sniffing and showing a sweet smile.

She walks on the grass or lies on the lawn.

For example, "We Are All Good Boys" is the graduation season of junior and high school, there is no need for a story, a lot of campus materials have been filmed, and Yang Xiaomi can appear in a white T-shirt when she transitions!

"The Wind Rises", "Life Like a Summer Flower" is Wang Xun sitting in the classroom, playing and singing by himself.

"NeBoy" played a trick, four Wang Xun, formed a band by themselves, drummer, bass, keyboard, and lead singer with a guitar on their backs, this thing looks very high-end, but in fact, it all depends on post-synthesis.

"Stubborn" is Wang Xun watching Yang Xiaomi stumbling by the window on a bicycle, and then he starts to play cool with an electric guitar, and adds some campus materials.

After one day of filming, there is only "Time to Cook the Rain", which requires the cooperation of rain and another little girl, Ning Hao's plot turned out to be the story of a pair of dancing little girls, and he was going to Beijing Dance to find a girl to shoot to assist Yang Xiaomi in filming.

"Ten Miles of Spring Breeze" has a lot of exterior scenes, and when I was going to go out to collect wind the next day, I still needed to shoot some shots of taking the subway and taking the bus.

When I got home in the evening, both of them were tired and paralyzed, and the playground was planned for another day.

After dinner, I didn't even want to move.

Yang Xiaomi and Wang Xun were lying on the sofa, chatting about the interesting things of the day.

Suddenly, I received a call from Brother Danchao: "Brother, get one!" You see, Lao Han already has some materials in his hands, and tomorrow you remember to read the "Yanjing Daily", hehe, they have to be skinned if they don't die."

Before Wang Xun could speak, the phone hung up, leaving Wang Xun and Yang Xiaomi looking at each other.

The next day, early in the morning, at the mouth of Shijia Hutong.

Wang Xun and Yang Xiaomi came back from running in Shichahai Park in sweat and stood in front of the newsstand.

Wang Xun stared at the "Yenching Daily" and wrote: "Why is drug abuse repeatedly banned in the rock music scene? β€”β€”In 95, the Tang Dynasty band Zhang Ju died in a drug accident, and today's "Cold-Blooded Animal" band lead singer Xie Tianxiao was arrested by the police for drug abuse."

Yang Xiaomi smiled and said to Wang Xun, "This is the beginning?"

Wang Xun shook his head and sighed, "If you take a cow, you will have to take a nose ring, and if you hit a snake, you will have to hit seven inches.

Bullets, I'm going to have to let him fly a little longer."
