Entertaining Children

Xiao Yao's first task in the New Year is to shoot the mV for "singmeTos1eep". W? W? W I. 81 ZW. COM

The music style of this song is similar to "faded", and the mV style of the two songs in the previous life is also the same. In terms of plot and story, the two can be said to be a continuation. After Xiao Yao brought these two songs to the world, no matter the music or the mV, there was no change in style, only the singer who sang and the location where the mV was shot.

The mV of "faded" in the previous life was filmed abroad. Xiao Yao didn't want to go abroad just to shoot an mV, so he changed the shooting location to Yanjing. The mV of "singmeTos1eep" in the previous life was filmed in Hong Kong. Although Xiao Yao can't go to Hong Kong Island in this life, he also didn't plan to go to the original place to shoot in the previous life, but put the filming location of this mV in Shanghai. On the one hand, it is for the convenience of being nearby, and on the other hand, Xiao Yao feels that the current Shencheng is not worse than Hong Kong Island at all. Whether it's the bright night view of a modern city lined with skyscrapers, or the old-fashioned, civilian life and street scene, Shanghai City has it all. He believes that in Shanghai, he can also capture the taste of confusion, exploration and search.

On the first day of the new year, Xiao Yao wandered around in various streets and alleys in Shanghai, looking for a suitable shooting scene. Although it took a total of ten years to study and work in Shanghai in the previous life, including taking pictures, art exams and studying in Shenxi in this life, the total time Xiao Yao stayed in Shanghai has also passed four months. This city is definitely not unfamiliar, but it took Xiao Yao a whole day to find all the suitable scenes in the mV. Next, Xiao Yao will try his best to complete the filming of this mV within the remaining two days of the New Year's Day holiday.

The mV of the song "singmeTos1eep" in Xiao Yao's plan is the same as the previous life, there is only one version, unlike "faded", which has two versions of the mV, the string version and the pure electronic version. The plot of the mV is a continuation of the story of the electronic music version of "faded", and the theme is still searching. Although there are no singers and string musicians in the screen like the string version mV of "faded", it is not his one-man show like the electronic music version mV.

The MV of this song has been replaced by three protagonists, two men and one woman, wandering around in different locations in the city to search for them, and gathered them together based on the clues given to them by three people of different professions in the city. So in terms of actors, besides himself, Xiao Yao had to find two more protagonists and two to three extra actors.

As for the heroine, Xiao Yao planned to let Gong Chen play the role. Anyway, the faces of the protagonists in the mV screen have not been fully and clearly revealed, so it doesn't matter who they use. As for the other male protagonist, Xiao Yao simply asked Lin Qisan to help, brother, it's not for nothing.

In addition, there are three people who provided clues, that is, the three actors in the MV. In the original mV, the three people are a beggar on a pedestrian bridge, a taxi driver and an old printing factory worker. Xiao Yao felt that it was difficult to find the actors and scenes of the master printing factory worker,

So the three people who provided clues were modified and replaced with a street performer, a taxi driver and a young old-fashioned grocery store clerk. Xu Yuan, Shazhou and Nina Aiguli, who happened to be free during the New Year's Day holiday and were still in Shanghai, were invited to play these three supporting roles.

In the original mV, the three protagonists are all masked, the beggar is wearing a hat with his head down, the taxi driver only shows an arm passing the clue paper, and only the printing master shows his entire face. In Xiao Yao's shooting plan, the three protagonists are still masked, but the three actors all have scenes showing their faces. He thinks this kind of comparison is more interesting.

In terms of filming, since most of the scenes of the entire mV are on the bustling streets, Xiao Yao didn't want to and had no energy to contact relevant departments to close the roads and venues on the streets, and find a bunch of extras to act as passers-by for special shooting , I want the actors to mix with real street passers-by, pretend to be tourists with a hand-held high-definition dV, and shoot the street shots they need with behaviors similar to candid shots.

Most of the shots of the three protagonists are separated, each protagonist in the middle is only in contact with a character, and the last one is the three protagonists who gather together. In the whole plot, the six actors will not appear in the same frame. of. The six actors Xiao Yao found, including himself, are three acting students and three singers. Although there is no serious cameraman professional in photography, it is no problem for them to operate the handheld dV .

So Xiao Yao simply saved the shooting team this time, and he and others took turns to shoot with dV. Although the shots shot in this way will be a little shaky, what Xiao Yao wants is exactly this kind of effect that makes people feel more real.

On a pedestrian bridge on Fengyi Road in Shencheng, Xu Yuan watched the pedestrians coming and going, and said to Xiao Yao nervously: "Do you really want to perform on the street here?" Xiao Yao asked her to help shoot the mV At that time, she agreed without saying a word, but when she really wanted to start filming, she felt inexplicably nervous.

"Aren't you scared?" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "You've seen quite a few big scenes, and you've also sung in bars before, but this street scares you?"

"But I really haven't done this kind of thing before!" Xu Yuan exclaimed with some grievances.

A star singer pretending to be a busker performing on the street? Not everyone has no psychological barriers like Xiao Yao.

"Why don't we switch roles." Sha Zhou suggested, "I'll be a street performer, and Xu Yuan will be a taxi driver."

"Mr. Shazhou, have you seen such a young and beautiful taxi driver as Xu Yuan?" Gong Chen looked at Shazhou and interjected with a smile, "You just want to take this opportunity to play with Xiao Yao's hand, right?"

Since it was a street performer, Xiao Yao happened to put his hand disc in it again, and the street performer who arranged for Xu Yuan to perform was to play the hand disc on the street. Xu Yuan knows how to play musical instruments. After the New Year's Eve party, Xiao Yao taught Xu Yuan a lot of performance skills and methods. On January 1st, Xiao Yao went around to watch the shooting scenes, and Xu Yuan stayed in the hotel room After practicing for a day, although it is not as proficient as Xiao Yao's, it is still not a problem to play a few acceptable pieces completely, and it can be regarded as decent.

"Hehe, I really want to play, but the main reason is that Xu Yuan dare not?" Shazhou, who was seen through, was not embarrassed, but just looked at Xu Yuan and said, "Xiao Yao said that the shooting time is only two days, we can't just do it like this Are you wasting it?"

"Who said I wouldn't dare?" Xu Yuan finally plucked up his courage after being provoked by Shazhou, and walked to the middle of the overpass near the railing with the hand plate, sat cross-legged on the ground, and put the hand plate Put it on your lap, pull the hat on the sweater to your head with both hands, and play with your head down.

"Okay!" Xiao Yao watched Xu Yuan start performing on the street, and said to Lin Qisan and Nina who were holding high-definition dVs, "Are you clear about the positioning and camera angles just mentioned? Let's start!" Xiao Yao said. Haruka pulled the face scarf around her neck back to her face, and put on the hat on her clothes,

Both Lin Qisan and Nina Aiguli nodded. Nina stood by the railing about a quarter of the overpass, leaning against the railing and raised the dV in her hand, while Lin Qisan held the dV and stood three to five meters away in front of Xiao Yao. As Xiao Yao started to walk towards Xu Yuan from one end of the bridge, Lin Qisan held up the dV and walked back while patting Xiao Yao, while Nina Aiguri stood and followed Xiao Yao with the dV lens Take spot shots. Lin Qisan was wearing a black sweater, no mask, just sunglasses, and Nina was wearing casual clothes, not even camouflage. The two people holding the dV looked more like young tourists who used dV to take pictures of city travel records.

Xiao Yao looked around and passed by Xu Yuan. When he saw Xu Yuan, Lin Qisan's DV lens caught a trace of doubt in his eyes. Xiao Yao also stopped and turned back to stand in front of Xu Yuan. . At this time, there were already two or three passers-by in front of Xu Yuan who were attracted by Xu Yuan's performance, but Xu Yuan kept his head down and played the musical instrument regardless, but when she saw Xiao Yao's shoes, she suddenly lifted her head. He started, took a careful look at Xiao Yao, then stopped playing, took out a folded piece of paper from his clothes, and handed it to Xiao Yao.

Lin Qisan's DV lens not only captured Xu Yuan's face when he looked up, but also took a close-up shot of the Chinese characters on the piece of paper. Xiao Yao took a glance at the paper, put it away, turned around and continued walking towards the other end of the pedestrian bridge. Lin Qisan stopped, and instead of continuing to shoot in front of Xiao Yao, he took a picture of the back of Xiao Yao leaving.

"What's this for?" The somewhat strange behavior of several people naturally aroused the curiosity of passers-by, and some even started to mutter as they looked at the backs of Xu Yuan and Xiao Yao who had already left.

"Withdraw!" Lin Qisan saw that the scene Xiao Yao had confessed to had been completed, closed the dV preview screen, gave Xu Yuan a look, and followed Xiao Yao to the stairs on the side of the pedestrian bridge.

Xu Yuan's reaction was not slow either. Seeing the two leave one after another, she immediately stood up, picked up the hand plate, and ran to the stairs at the end of the pedestrian bridge.

Nina Aiyiguli on the other side also put away the dV, joined Shazhou and Gong Chen who were watching from the other side, and left the pedestrian bridge from the stairs over there.

"Do you feel that the instrument played by the girl just now is very strange, as if you have never seen it before." A passer-by looked at Xu Yuan's back and asked a friend around him.

"I don't think I've seen it before...No, I've seen it!" The friend next to him slapped his thigh and said, "I remembered, it was the hand disc that was played at the New Year's Eve party the day before yesterday!"

"Really!" Another passer-by who had also seen Xu Yuan's performance also said, "But didn't Li Hai say at the party that the hand disc belongs to Xiao Yaoming, and there are only two in the world? Why is the other one lost to a street performer? Has someone got it? Could it be that someone came out of the cottage in two days?"

"The busker raised his head just now. I saw it. He looks very beautiful, as if he has seen it somewhere before." A pair of boys who looked like a couple said.

"What do you mean? You know all the pretty girls when you see them, right?" The girl next to her was unhappy, and put two fingers on the boy's arm.

"That's not what I mean," the boy hurriedly said, "I mean, I seem to have seen it on TV."

"Saw it on TV? Is that a celebrity? Do other celebrities perform on the street?"

"I really feel like I've seen it before," the boy said, clapping his hands suddenly, "I remembered, that girl is Xu Yuan. She was dressed in tatters just now, and she was too far from the image on TV. I didn't remember it. But her face...really resembles Xu Yuan."

"Ah!" The girl suddenly screamed.

"What are you doing?" the boy plugged his ear with a finger.

"Xiao Yao!" the girl said excitedly.

"Xiao Yao? Where is it?" The boy began to look around.

"Stupid, run away!" the girl said, "The one wearing a hat and mask just now! Since that performer is Xu Yuan, the one wearing a hat and mask must be Xiao Yao. Look at his image and "faded" mV The image in the movie is the same. Did you see someone holding a dV to shoot, and then ran along with him? Xiao Yao must be playing some new tricks, maybe he was shooting a new song mV? I don’t know just now Did you shoot us in?"

"Shooting a mV? How could anyone take a dV and shoot a mV on the street like this? People do it just like filming TV dramas and movies, with a special crew, actors and venues, clearing the scene to shoot." The boy didn't believe it.

"Others shoot like that, but Xiao Yao doesn't have to." The girl reminded the boy, "The band "Daydream" went to the real wedding scene held by others, and it was Xiao Yao's idea to record it and make a mV. He took part of the dV in the He can definitely do it by filming some real situations on the street and making MVs!"

"Really!" The boy couldn't help but nodded when he heard it, and immediately looked down from the railing, "They will definitely continue to take pictures, see if they can still be seen, I'll take you to watch!"

"Okay, okay!" the girl said excitedly.

It's just that the two chatted for a long time, and when they looked down, they couldn't see the figures of Xiao Yao and others.

When the six of them returned to the seven-seat suv borrowed by Lin Qisan, Lin Qisan suddenly said, "You said what would happen if Xu Yuan or Xiao Yao were recognized and surrounded by fans and passers-by?"

Previously, Xiao Yao was shot alone in deserted streets and alleys. There is nothing to worry about. The pedestrian bridge scene is the first scene today where there are passers-by who don't know the inside story. Some people think of this. You must know that the six of them participated in the filming today, and none of them brought an assistant.

"Anyway, I don't need to worry. I guess no one knows me." Nina said with a smile, "The ones who need to worry are the big stars who just attended the New Year's Eve party, right?"

"There were only a few people there just now, so it doesn't matter if they are recognized." Xiao Yao said with a smile after watching the pictures taken by Lin Qisan and Nina, "But at night, especially the shots of Gong Chen on the pedestrian street at night, that's the truth. A test. Let me remind you, if you are recognized, run quickly. If anyone is surrounded by passers-by, find a way to escape."
