Chapter 145 Shooting the MV storm(1/2)
Shanghai Film and Television Base was founded in 1992.
It is a comprehensive tourist area that mainly uses film and television shooting services and has functions such as sightseeing, culture and entertainment, leisure and vacation.
When He Xiao got out of the car, he saw ancient bluestone roads leading deep into the depths. There were various antique buildings on both sides of the street, including from the Republic of China and ancient ones.
The little assistant Bao Yuanyuan came over and put on a coat for He Xiao, and led him to the film and television base.
This season, the holiday has not passed, there are not many people traveling, and the Shanghai Stock Exchange is still in an "empty city".
There are only a few crews in the base filming, most of which are anti-Japanese war dramas and spy war films.
He Xiao walked through an old Shanghai-style street. The buildings on both sides were full of the style of the last century. There were rail cars in the middle of the road, as if he was traveling back to the stormy beach in the Republic of China period.
"This street looks so familiar. Is this... in the world of black mobile phones?"
He Xiao stood in front of a police station and felt that the scene in front of him was quite familiar. Then he suddenly remembered that this was the place where the axe helper killed the enemy at the beginning of the movie "Kung Fu".
The saying "I'm out and clean the floor" is shouted here.
It seems that this is another place parallel to the black mobile phone world.
The movie "Kung Fu" is very good. Whether it is the plot design or the actor's skills, they are definitely not comparable to those of the young and handsome guys today.
If you have the chance in the future, you may be able to remake it in this world.
Walking past the police station, He Xiao came to the agreed location with Director Fu Jinglong.
In front of an ordinary dilapidated house.
The staff had already laid the site, and several vans were parked next to them, containing various equipment.
In front of the house, a comfortable rocking chair was placed, and Fu Jinglong was sitting on it to rest.
He looked in his early fifties, with a little white temple, but his whole body was big and round, with long slanted eyelids, and his eyebrows were flying upwards.
From the face alone, this person is very fierce and seems to be difficult to get along with.
"Is it Xiao He? Let me introduce myself. I am Huang Jun, the deputy director of filming MV today."
Just as He Xiao was standing on the edge of the crew and looking at him, a middle-aged man in a leather jacket came up and said politely.
"Hello director, I'm late, sorry."
He Xiao took off his sunglasses and shook hands with him politely.
"It's okay, we just arrived."
Huang Jun didn't care much, his face was full of smiles, and he looked in the direction of Fu Jinglong: "I'll take you to see Director Fu."
"good."
He Xiao followed the deputy director and waved to the assistant at the same time. The other party took a few steps and put the tea in He Xiao's hand.
"Director Fu, He Xiao is coming!"
Huang Jun bent down and introduced with his ears.
He Xiao carried the tea leaves and stepped forward two steps, "Director Fu, the first time we met, the small gift was not respected."
Fu Jinglong sat steadily on the chair, drooping his face, glanced at the tea leaves in He Xiao's hand, and huhed with his nose.
The attitude is the same as that of 80% of the directors in China, full of arrogant meaning.
The scene was a bit awkward, so He Xiao had to put the gift awkwardly on the small table next to him.
The deputy director quickly smiled and rescued: "Xiao He, I'll take you to change your clothes."
"Please trouble you Brother Huang." He Xiao nodded. In contrast, the deputy director's attitude was much more kind.
The two left Fu Jinglong's territory one by one, and then Huang Jun explained to He Xiao in a low voice:
"Brother Jing is a big director, so it's normal for him to be a little arrogant. Don't take it to your heart, just be more accommodating."
While speaking, he handed He Xiao a soft China in his hand.
"I know, as a director, I must be a little majestic."
He Xiao expressed his understanding and rejected the cigarettes from the assistant director.
Since signing Le Jia, he has been strictly controlled by Yu Xiao and has basically quit smoking.
Even if you can't stand the addiction to cigarettes at any time, you can only take a few e-cigarettes to satisfy your cravings. If you can, try not to touch them.
Only self-disciplined people are true freedom. Only by separating their bodies and souls can this person succeed.
Seeing that He Xiao didn't smoke, Huang Jun didn't force him. After thinking about it, he pinched his cigarette, and then led He Xiao into a house at a film and television base, with a row of clothes hanging inside.
"You change your clothes first, I'll go out and set up the scene. We'll start shooting later."
Huang Jun put a manuscript on the table, then told He Xiao again, and said, "This is a small script, you can read it later."
"good."
He Xiao nodded, and after Huang Jun left, he closed the door and prepared to start changing clothes.
In fact, the embarrassment of the hot face and cold butt just now made He Xiao feel a little uncomfortable, but he had no choice.
After all, people are directors, and most of the people with this status have a arrogant personality or a weird temper. It is rare for directors as kind as those of the Yanjing Spring Festival Gala.
Moreover, Yu Xiao took a lot of effort to invite him from the Film and Television Department. Judging from Yu Xiao's face, he will just bear it.
Life is not easy, and it is not the first time He Xiao has encountered such a thing. Just get used to this kind of thing slowly.
Take the prepared clothes from the hanger, which is quite long and hung in a gray color, with a few buttons on the side.
He Xiao frowned.
Isn't this a clothes from the Republic of China?
If he remembered correctly, today's MV filming of "Old Boy", why did he get it to the Republic of China? What script is written here?
He Xiao was not wearing that dress, grabbed the small script left by Deputy Director Huang Jun, and squinted his eyes and started reading it.
Shooting MV is different from movies, and most of the main storylines are performed with the lyrics of the song.
So the small script is not an adjective, but is really small. It only takes half a page of paper, a few hundred words, and you can finish reading it in just one eye.
Then, He Xiao became stupid.
The scene he was going to shoot today was actually a story of traveling back to the Republic of China, playing a low-level little person, climbing up step by step.
In order to show shock, there is even a spy war scene in the middle.
Isn't this a big deal?
It's completely different from what the Old Boy wants to express!
He Xiao frowned. He couldn't film such a script.
I don’t want to be able to make new ideas, but I can’t be so sloppy? It’s far from the original song MV of the black phone.
Holding this small script full of perfunctory smell, He Xiao came out of the changing room with a calm face and walked towards the center of the venue with big strides.
Fu Jinglong was still lying on the rocking chair, eating cherries absent-mindedly, and a drama agent next to him helped him pinch his shoulders and massage his back.
"Hey? Xiao He, why haven't you changed your clothes yet?"
He hurriedly passed by He Xiao with an assistant director who had no idea of what machine he had, then was stunned for a moment, and took a step back and asked.
"Brother Huang, I can't film this plot! It doesn't mean the same as the emotions I want to express!"
He Xiao's fingers clicked on the script and put forward his own ideas.
"Stop making trouble, Director Fu personally shoots you MV, what else do you want? He said he can shoot whatever he wants."
Huang Jun stopped He Xiao, for fear that he would touch the big director's bad intentions.
But He Xiao did not give Huang Jun face this time and would never give in to the trail:
"Mr. Fu Jinglong is indeed a senior director in the industry, but I always have the right to participate in the creation of my songs, right? Can't I mention any opinions?"
"Old Boy" is He Xiao's starting work. He can't watch this song that carries his dreams and is treated perfunctorily.
It was originally a dream song with a modern city as the background, but it was turned into the rise of a small figure in the Republic of China, and it was completely different.
The adaptation is not a random script, the joke is not a nonsense, and Fu Jinglong does this to apologize like fans across the country.
He Xiaobuqiu can shoot the depth in the original MV, but he cannot tolerate being destroyed like this.
So this time, I didn't give the deputy director face and went straight to Fu Jinglong, who was still resting.
"Director Fu, I think there is something wrong with this script!"
Hearing He Xiao’s questioning voice, Fu Jinglong, who was slowly drinking tea, glanced at him with his eyelids, "What's the problem?"
"My song is set in modern cities, not the Republic of China. In addition, this is a song with dreams as the theme. What I want to express is the little life of every ordinary little person, and his longing and expectations for the future."
"I think your script has a big problem!"
He Xiao seriously discussed the theme of "Old Boy" with this senior director in the industry, but the other party just looked at him without reaction: "What do you mean is that the crew has been preparing for so long, and you will ask us to change places and shoot again in one sentence?"
"Director Fu, I respect you, but I hope you can also respect my works and your profession. Do you have to continue shooting the wrong scenes? I haven't heard of any big director who will shoot the wrong works. Instead, they can shoot repeatedly for more than ten days for one shot, just for excellence."
He Xiao responded that he was not willing to be outdone. He could not give in to his own works.
