Chapter 937 Do You Want to Shoot It?

"Okay." Liu Yifei picked up a pomegranate and ate it slowly. She followed her mother's wishes on Mid-Autumn Festival. Look, what a filial daughter she is.

Zhang Hongyi was eating an apple and felt it was good, but when he saw his mother eating a pomegranate, he suddenly felt that his apple was not fragrant.

"Mom, I want to eat." He pointed at the pomegranate in front of Liu Yifei and shouted.

"You should have told me earlier that you wanted to eat pomegranates. Here you go." Liu Yifei saw her beloved son coming to make trouble, and smiled as she put the pomegranates in front of him, but she kept one in her hand.

Mother Liu already knew what her daughter's attitude was. She had been prepared for having a second child, but why was there no movement yet?
Is it because of Zhang Yang’s problem?

"Zhang Yang, you should eat some pomegranate too." Mother Liu pointed at the fruit and said to him with a smile.

"Yeah." Zhang Yang nodded. He didn't care at all about Mrs. Liu's thoughts.

He reached out and took the pomegranate and started eating it. Zhang Hongyi saw that three people in the family were eating pomegranates, but her grandmother was the only one sitting there. She looked really different.

As the saying goes, happiness is better shared than happiness alone. The little guy took the initiative to pick up a pomegranate and handed it to Mother Liu: "Grandma, you eat it too."

After he said this, he showed an expression that seemed to be asking for praise. In his opinion, he was the only one in the family who was still thinking about his grandmother.

Zhang Yang and Liu Yifei were really convinced by their trouble-making son. Mother Liu took the pomegranate with a helpless look on her face. She couldn't let her grandson down with such good intentions.

A family of four eats pomegranates on Mid-Autumn Night.

Liu Yifei looked up at the sky, pointed at the moon and said to her son, "Yiyi, you have memorized so many poems, now recite one that suits the occasion."

Think about it, in the past, on Mid-Autumn nights, it was always her or Zhang Yang who recited, and now it’s so interesting to let the little one do it.

Zhang Hongyi started memorizing ancient poems in mid-July. It has been more than two months now, and he has memorized most of the 300 Tang poems. He is not afraid of his mother's questions at all.

He thought for a moment, put down the pomegranate and spoke in a rhythmic manner:
The two cities face each other, and a river flows eastward.

Tonight the moon is white, when will the Yellow Crane Tower appear?

The orchid boat sails leisurely in the evening, and the reed flowers bloom faintly in autumn.

I am helpless and heartbroken, and I am always worried about the mountains and rivers.

"Pa pa pa." Zhang Yang and the other two applauded Zhang Hongyi. Not only was he reciting poems faster and faster, but his recitation was also becoming more and more poetic.

Zhang Hongyi laughed out loud when he heard his family applauding.

"What does this poem mean?" Zhang Yang suddenly asked after he finished applauding.

The little guy was already accustomed to the big devil's sudden attacks. He said confidently: "Let's climb up the Yellow Crane Tower on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival..."

He followed suit and explained the meaning of the poem in detail. Zhang Yang nodded, very pleased with his son's performance.

The family chatted for a while, and then Mother Liu felt that the weather was getting colder, so she took the little one back to the east yard to rest.

After Zhang Yang and his friends saw Liu Ma off, they did not return to the pavilion, but stood side by side in the courtyard and looked up at the moon.

The black night is dreamy and deep. The moon embedded in the night sky is round and bright, and the moonlight it sheds is clear and gentle.
The shadows of Zhang Yang and Liu Yifei are reflected in the moonlight, as if telling a mysterious story.

"I watch it every year and the feeling is different every year." Liu Yifei looked at it for a while and said quietly.

Zhang Yang looked at Liu Yifei. The silver moonlight shone on her, as if covering her with a layer of veil, making her look even more ethereal.

"That means you are more mature."

"Really?" Liu Yifei smiled. She put her arms around Zhang Yang's and leaned her head on his shoulder.

The two of them stood there quietly. After a while, Zhang Yang suddenly laughed because he felt Liu Yifei's body trembling a little. She was only wearing a short-sleeved shirt.

"Let's go. Don't waste the Mid-Autumn Festival. You've caught a cold." Zhang Yang pulled Liu Yifei towards the hall.

"You're such a killjoy, ruining such a great mood." Liu Yifei said stubbornly while being pulled by Zhang Yang.

The two returned to the room to wash up. While rinsing her mouth, Liu Yifei asked Zhang Yang vaguely, "Why do I suddenly have so many thoughts during the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

"Because you're old."

"You are old. I haven't seen much of the world, so how come I'm old?" Liu Yifei glared at Zhang Yang unhappily. How dare he say that a woman is old?
Fireworks in the human world? When Zhang Yang heard this word, he suddenly thought of a song, a song that was well-known.

She was Zhang Yang's biggest victim, and he was almost screwing her bald.

After Zhang Yang washed his face and put the towel away, he held Liu Yifei's cheeks with both hands while she was rinsing her mouth, and said lovingly, "Since you want to see fireworks, I'll give you a song called 'Fireworks in the World'."

Plagiarist Zhang Yang is online again.

Liu Yifei reached out and knocked Zhang Yang's arm away, picked up the cup of water to rinse her mouth, and asked expectantly: "Is it suitable for me to sing?" Now she only wants to sing what suits her and doesn't force anything else.

"Of course." Why does he always pull out the wool of Xiang Xiang? Isn't it her catchy song? Isn't Liu Yifei the most suitable?

Speaking of it, the song "Human Fireworks" has some connection with Liu Yifei. Many people in the original time and space used the video of "Dream of Splendor" to make an MV for it, which looks pretty good.

Liu Yifei became interested when she heard Zhang Yang say this, and she was particularly looking forward to tomorrow.

Around 11 o'clock the next morning, after Zhang Yang finished writing the song in his study, he sent a message to Liu Yifei.

After a while she walked into the study in a hurry.

"Take a look." Zhang Yang stood in front of the printer and handed the printed music score to Liu Yifei.

Liu Yifei reached out to take it and read the lyrics first.

She was at a loss of what to think when she heard the boats rowing their oars, and the sound of flutes and drums on the painted boats singing a few heart-breaking songs... Out of her professional habit as an actor, she subconsciously began to imagine the scene in her mind.

As a result, Liu Yifei felt like she had discovered a new world. "The lyrics of this song have a strong sense of imagery, like describing a person missing his loved one in the misty rain of Jiangnan, and also revealing the reality and beauty of life." Liu Yifei said with a little excitement.

"Its melody doesn't have any special features, at most it's catchy. The essence lies in the lyrics, how can it be bad?" Zhang Yang said in a complacent tone, pointing to the music score.

“It would be a shame if we don’t make a music video for this song.” Liu Yifei looked at Zhang Yang with her bright eyes without blinking. She wanted to make a music video.

Zhang Yang raised his hand to support his chin and fell into deep thought. Liu Yifei would never play a TV series like "Dream of the Red Chamber" in this life. It was a pity to think about it.
It seems like a good idea to let her shoot a MV like "Dream of Red Mansions".

Liu Yifei had just mentioned it tentatively, but when she saw that Zhang Yang was actually thinking about it seriously, she knew there was hope.

"Look, we can go to Jiangsu and Zhejiang and find a place with small bridges and flowing water to change into ancient costumes. I haven't worn ancient costumes in public for many years." Liu Yifei grabbed Zhang Yang's hand and shook it.

"You are an adult, yet you still act like a spoiled child." Zhang Yang looked at her and said unhappily.

"So are you going to take a picture or not?" Liu Yifei asked with a pout.

"Shoot, how can I not agree to Madam's request?"

Liu Yifei immediately smiled happily, this was her good master.

"But your idea of ​​just shooting ancient style is too simple. We need to come up with a story."

"Okay, take your time to think about it, I won't disturb you," Liu Yifei said as she picked up the music score and was about to leave.

"Do I need to think slowly about a MV story? I've already thought of it." Zhang Yang calmly walked to the sofa and sat down.

Liu Yifei stopped, walked back to the sofa, sat down next to Zhang Yang and complimented him, "You are indeed a genius."

Zhang Yang didn't tease her and immediately told her the story he had thought of.

To accompany the song "Human Fireworks", we must use a story that is both beautiful and sad.

The story outline is: In ancient times, a lady from a noble family and a scholar met by chance. They fell in love at first sight, and then they dated secretly, went shopping, boating, and watched fireworks, leaving behind many beautiful moments.

But the good times did not last long. The scholar suddenly had to leave for another place. When the lady knew about it, she went to see him for the last time, but she only saw the shadow of a carriage.

But the scholar still saw his sweetheart, so he shouted to her, "Wait for me."

Thus began the days of waiting of the lady. Sometimes she would go boating alone on the lake, sometimes she would lean on the railing and gaze into the distance, sometimes she would play the pipa to relieve her boredom, silently waiting for her lover to return.

"What's the result? Did she wait for it?" Liu Yifei asked impatiently after listening to Zhang Yang's story.

"do not know."

"You don't know the story you want?"

"It's not important. At least it doesn't need to be reflected in the MV. This way, it can leave room for the audience's imagination."

Audiences are sometimes like this. If you tell a perfect story, they will forget it after a while, but if you leave some flaws, they will remember it for a lifetime.

"Isn't this lady from a wealthy family too pitiful?" Liu Yifei felt that she was really stupid.

“Look at the lyrics. You once blossomed among the fireworks in the world, and engraved several people in my heart and made them live alone from then on. With beautiful memories to support her, how could she be pitiful?” The lady in Zhang Yang’s story is waiting with the yearning for a better life.

"Who knows if a scholar will change his mind? Those who are loyal are usually butchers, while those who are unfaithful are usually scholars." Liu Yifei muttered in a low voice.

Women are sometimes really strange creatures. They have to worry about such an illusory thing.

"So, at the end of the MV, add a scene where a lady from a noble family is leaning against a railing, gazing into the distance, and suddenly smiles." This gives everyone a psychological hint that the scholar is back.

Liu Yifei nodded in satisfaction. She remembered something and grabbed Zhang Yang's hand and asked, "Scholar, will you play the role?"

"No, just find a tall woman in your studio and let her wear men's clothes. I don't plan to let a man show his face in the MV." Zhang Yang rejected her proposal without even thinking about it.

"If you don't show your face, there's nothing to say. If you act, I can perform even better." Liu Yifei persuaded Zhang Yang.

They struggled for more than half an hour, and Zhang Yang ate a lot of lipstick. Finally, he fell under the temptation of beauty. It turned out that he was a world-renowned director who was awarded the three major awards, but he was also a lustful man.

After lunch that day, he went to the studio and asked his assistant to communicate with Hengdian. It would be most appropriate to go to Hengdian to shoot such a costume MV.

There are buildings from the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, and the production team also has to go there in advance to take a look.

After giving instructions to his assistant, he went to the recording studio. When these people knew that their boss wanted to record a song, they were so happy. They were almost bored to death.

It wouldn't take long to record this song, but the arrangement would take time. Considering their 9-to-5 work schedule with two days off a week, it would take a week.

On the morning of the 26th, Zhang Yang and Liu Yifei came to the recording studio and began recording songs.

"When I go in to record the song, remember the emotions in the story I'm telling."

Liu Yifei nodded. This was not difficult for her.

She walked into the recording studio, put on headphones and started recording.

Liu Yifei's voice has a congenital defect in terms of timbre, and it cannot be changed.

On the contrary, it is Cheng Xiang, her voice is a bit magnetic and very recognizable.

But she has a problem with singing, her pronunciation is not clear. I heard that her idol is the unpopular singer Sun Yanzi. It seems that she needs to work harder.

Unexpectedly, the recording of this song was not finished until noon. When they were having lunch in the studio lobby, Zhang Yang looked at Liu Yifei from time to time.

"My singing skills haven't deteriorated. It's just that it's a little difficult to integrate my emotions this time." Liu Yifei saw Zhang Yang's eyes and knew what he was thinking. She quickly defended herself. No, it was an explanation.
