Chapter 36 Increasing the Budget

The shooting officially began, and Tang De sat behind the camera while holding the microphone to command.

"The lights, tilt up 20 degrees, I want their faces to be bathed in sunlight!"

"The makeup artist has tidied up Kelly's hair, it's messed up!"

"Nelly, watch out for your clothes, don't get crumpled!"

In fact, Donder not only changed the picture and structure of the MV, but also changed Nelly's costume, the original version of him wearing a white jersey, looking more like a sports boy in the neighborhood than a rapper, and standing with Kylie Loren is full of disobedience.

Now he was dressed more maturely, with a black waistcoat and black shirt, and a wide silver chain that had also been replaced by Tang De with a smaller style.

Coupled with the LV classic pattern hat on his head, he now looks much more handsome.

Because the scenes in the neighborhood were cut by Tang De, there are not many, and the content of the shooting is not difficult, it is the first meeting of a man and a woman, looking at each other, and then sending text messages and the like.

But Tang De did not use ordinary shooting methods, but adopted shooting techniques that are more in line with the movie, such as one shot to the end.

When Nelly sings a love song to the window, the picture slowly moves away from the elevation, and the character shrinks little by little, until she enters the window and continues to move away, and she is overjoyed to see Kelly hiding behind the wall with her mobile phone.

The whole scene was shot three times, and Donde's angry voice echoed on the set again.

"Left! Nelly, to the left! Remember, be sure to take two steps to the left when the camera is far away! ”

"Kelly! Don't be a silly girl! You have a husband, you are in a state of excitement and entanglement, and you have to keep it when you tear your clothes! ”

"Jeff! Twice! Don't be slow! That car is going to drive away as the camera moves away! The whole picture has to be done in one go! If you slow down, you'll get out! ”

"And you, Noda, keep the lights on Nelly's face at all times! Look where is it now? Are you trying to keep the audience's attention focused on Nelly's brother? ”

Tang De, as always, did not reduce his voice even in the face of Nelly and Kelly, he was like a mighty lion, unleashing his ferocious power unscrupulously.

But no one dared to disobey him, because director Jose sat in his chair with a smile and didn't say a word, completely based on Donde's opinion.

And although Nelly and Kelly have refuted it a few times, they don't speak after seeing the video being filmed.

Whether it is the scheduling of the picture or the expressiveness of the shot, they all feel the power of Tang De, which is completely different from the expressiveness of ordinary MVs in the past.

And in the evening scenes, it highlights Tang De's advanced aesthetics and ability.

Nelly and Kelly stood in front of the flaming vehicle, and according to the usual lighting technique, they should have painted the two of them with a white light to show their normal skin tone.

But Tang De did the opposite, lighting up the entire street with warm yellow lights, complementing the flames behind him, and then dotting the faces of the two people with a little pink.

These pinks are like the ambiguous atmosphere of the two people, and they also match the mood in the song, and the two people keep dancing and singing in such a scene.

Even with the naked eye, you can see the impact of this image, so Nelly and Kelly are particularly satisfied.

However, when the shooting ended in the early hours of the morning, Tang De suddenly made a suggestion.

"Increase your budget?" Nelly frowned, a little hesitant.

"That's right, Nelly, you can see, we're very specious. And the scene the day after tomorrow is the most important, because it is the main line of the song, so if the set is not good enough, it will not match the specifications of our current shooting. ”

Tang De explained, and then Kelly smiled and said, "Nelly, you won't be reluctant to pay for it, will you?" ”

"Shit, how could it be! I'm not short of that money! Nelly was provoked by the beauty and immediately retorted, and turned around to call her agent.

"Add the budget, listen to me, CAA will give you as much budget as you want, this MV is very explosive! Believe me! ”

He went out on the phone, and only Kelly and Donde were left in the van.

She slowly paced up to him: "You're really great, it's the first time I've seen a creative photographer like you. ”

"Thank you for the compliment, it's the first time I've known that your voice is so charming."

"So you haven't heard my song before?" Kelly is sharp.

"That's true." Don De spread his hands.

"Well, oh, it looks like I'm not too famous yet." Kelly laughed heartily.

Tang De waved his hand: "But this song will definitely make your name a household name." ”

"How can you be more confident than me?"

Tang De smiled and did not answer.

Kelly continued, "Anyway, I'm looking forward to it more!" ”

A day later, CAA received an additional budget from Nelly and immediately rented a high-end hotel as a filming location according to Donde's instructions.

A day later, the shooting continued.

This time the two were filmed separately, one on the left and one on the right, in two corridors.

Tang De and the camera sat on the slide, pulled by the assistants, and filmed the footage of the two of them from the end of the shot.

"Kelly! The expression is natural, don't be immersed in singing all the time, you just think you're cheating on Nelly! To meet him! ”

"Touching the wall with your hand is like touching Nelly's pecs! Yes, that's how it feels! ”

"Keep your eyes on the camera, but don't keep your eyes on it! If you want to back down, think of Nelly standing in front of you! ”

"That's not right! That's not right! Kelly again! ”

"One more time! Kylie, use your brain to remember this feeling! ”

"That's right! That's right this time! Let's move on to the next shot! ”

Tang De continued to guide Kelly until her camera was finished, but fortunately, her attitude was very sincere, she didn't put up any shelves, and she was very cooperative.

Nelly's side didn't go so well.

"Nelly, don't look like a dick! You're here to cheat, not to show! ”

"Don't keep holding that broken hat with your hands! You're not Michael Jackson! ”

"Lens problems? Don't make excuses, Nelly, it's your problem! ”

"It's useless to stare at me! Nelly, think about your album and do you want it to stand on the Grammys stage! ”

"I don't care about your threats, Nelly, I'm only responsible for the MV! Even if you want to shoot me, you'll have to wait until the MV is finished! You know what! ”

In the end, it was Kelly who kept comforting Nelly to let him lose his anger and finish the shooting.

After the filming was over, Nelly said directly to Donde: "I won't ask you to shoot the MV again, SHXT!" You don't respect me at all! ”

"No, Nelly, you should first look up the meaning of respect." Tang De said calmly: "In my place, no one is special, everything is for the service of the work!" That's my philosophy! ”

"Why are you?" Nelly has yet to meet anyone more dragged than a black hip-hop artist.

"Why? You'll know, Nelly, not long after. ”
