I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 29 MV shooting
Zhao Lusi has a good family background...

The entertainment industry is all about connections!
Of course, she has done a good job herself. "The Rumored Chen Qianqian" is actually just an A-level drama.

This drama has no popular starring actors, it is not a big production, and it does not have a big IP. It is a sweet drama with three nothings, but it has created high topics and high popularity, surprising many people.

Because of the huge benefits it brought, the star's status also rose sharply...

So, red is really a metaphysics!
She has been the leading actress since 18...

She played the leading female role in four dramas in a row, including "The Most Beautiful Thing", "The Legend of Qing Cang", "Spring Flowers and Autumn Moon", and "Three Thousand Crows", all of which were exclusively broadcast on Youku, or jointly broadcast on Youku and Mango TV...

You said no one supported...

is it possible?
There is a high probability that they belong to the second generation of rich people or the second generation of capitalists with their own capital - at least they are born in a wealthy family!

There is a line in "Parasite": Rich people are simple and have no worries. Children from rich families don't even have wrinkles on their clothes. Money is like an iron, it irons everything flat, and all the wrinkles are ironed flat!

Indeed, Shen Liang has met many people, and many of them are really simple-minded...

In the entertainment industry, there are of course innocent people, but innocent people can only survive cleanly in the 18th tier...

She came to Qingdao for five days to shoot three music videos...

Shen Liang simply took her to visit the studio of "The Wandering Earth"...

As for the underground city community, Shen Liang asked while explaining, "How does it feel?"

“…Wow, this is really eye-opening!”

"Director Guo Fan is a man who does big things... We invested 1.3 million yuan in the entire drama, and he spent 60% of the funds on filming!"

"I heard you talk about The Wandering Earth the other day, so I went back and bought a copy of the original novel and read it... It was quite shocking!"

"You haven't seen it?"

"without…"

"Liu Cixin, don't you know?"

"not sure…"

"What about The Three-Body Problem?"

Zhao Lusi continued: "I know "The Three-Body Problem"... but I haven't read it..."

Shen Liang glanced at her, then said: "Read more books when you have nothing to do..."

Zhao Lusi retorted: "I saw it..."

"Reading online novels?"

“…It counts as reading, right?”

"It counts... Why not..."

After walking around, Shen Liang took her out of the studio and took out the script - the script for the MV...

Actually, it’s not really a script, just some storyboards…

The most important thing in MV production is a good rhythm.

There must be relaxation and relief, slowness and speed.

When the music is lyrical and narrative, the shots should be soothing. Conversely, when the music is intense and fast-paced, the shots should be short and compact, and the scene switching and content should have a strong sense of action.

Generally, when there are strong rhythms and drum beats, the camera will use a quick push shot or a hard push shot.

Where the glissando is played, you can use push-pull shots to create a soothing and smooth feeling…

In addition, the length of the shots in the MV generally does not exceed 5 seconds!
Depending on the rhythm of the music, the length of the shot will change accordingly.

Where the music rhythm is slow, the shots will be longer accordingly, where the rhythm is fast, the shots will be shorter, and the switching scenes will be richer...

Zhao Lusi needs to shoot "Last Summer", "The Sun" and "Take You to Find Nightlife"...

As for the cost, the package price for three songs is 12!
Basically, I took advantage of the crew and borrowed a whole photography team from them... I also recruited a lot of extras to be extras in "Take You to Find Nightlife"...

Shen Liang paid 8 yuan, and the remaining 4 yuan was for the rental of venues, props, and costumes...

Oh, and I'm also going to give Zhao Lusi a little reward...

Li Wei didn't mention money, but he had to give a symbolic amount.

How can you let people work for nothing?
……

"Brother Liu Yin? You came in person?" "To make some extra money!"

In the middle of the night, Shen Liang thought Zhao Lusi couldn't bear it anymore...

You're overthinking it. It's Liu Yin.

Liu Yin is the director of photography for The Wandering Earth…

His resume is very impressive. Not only is he the exclusive photographer for director Guo Fan, he has also collaborated with director Gao Qunshu on "The Knife's Edge", with director Tsui Hark on "The Taking of Tiger Mountain by Strategy", saved Jia Ling, and filmed half of "Hello, Li Huanying".

Belongs to the top young generation photographers in the industry!

Shen Liang has seen him work, he is a detail freak...

It is really detailed, with a complete cycle plan to implement the shooting progress for each day.

There are also things in his own field, such as the movement and scheduling of light and shadow machines. When scouting locations, he will tell the lighting team in detail where he wants to put a certain light, where to park the generator truck, how many meters of power lines to prepare, and how to prepare for rain, etc.

With such a slow-paced personality, it’s no wonder that he can get along well with Guo Fan!

Shen Liang poured him a cup of tea: "So what do you think about the script?"

“…I listened to “Last Summer” and it felt like a high school girl’s crush?”

"Almost, 'Summer comes and goes, but people are no longer here'..."

"Then let's talk about campus stories, okay?"

"Hmm...what about The Sun?"

Liu Yin was not sure: "Ex-girlfriend? I think it's quite inspiring..."

"It can be understood as a couple graduating from college and parting ways, and the boy's blessing to the girl..."

"Oh," Liu Yin nodded, "So I remembered it correctly... "Take You to Find Nightlife"... I thought it was a nightclub song at first..."

"No, this song is not about love, it's about freedom..."

"free…"

Liu Yin was thoughtful...

"Don't think too much. I came up with the melody first and then wrote the lyrics based on the melody... maybe some parts are not appropriate..."

"Then... let's shoot 'Last Summer' tomorrow... who did you choose as the female lead for the MV?"

"Zhao Lusi...I'll call her over now..."

"No, calling a little girl over in the middle of the night will have a bad influence if it gets out..."

"Too…"

Shen Liang put down his phone and was about to say something when it vibrated. It was a WeChat message from Zhao Lusi: "I can't sleep..."

Can't sleep?

This is not a hint, it is a statement!

As a veteran, Shen Liang certainly knew how to respond, which was nothing more than "Can't sleep because the night is too charming? I'll go out for a walk with you?"

But Liu Yin was still there, so Shen Liang couldn't leave and decided to deal with him first!
Liu Yin noticed Shen Liang's actions and quickly asked, "Is anyone looking for you?"

"…Um, personal matters…"

"Then I won't bother you anymore..."

"See you tomorrow..." Shen Liang stood up and prepared to send him off. Then he thought of something: "You come with me to the MV. What about the crew's photography?"

"It's okay. Guo Fan has been busy fighting with the props team these days. It will probably take more than a week... Besides, I just took some time to come here to shoot..."

Shen Liang understood instantly: "I understand!"

This means that Liu Yin will not be present at all the MV shoots, and will basically leave it to the team to take charge of the camera.

In fact, Liu Yin's so-called earning extra money should be a joke, and it is more to express the crew's support for Shen Liang.

After seeing Liu Yin off, Shen Liang looked at his phone and replied, "Want some midnight snack? I'll be waiting for you at the door!"

Then I changed my clothes and went downstairs...
