Huayu: Starting from intercepting Duan Yu

Chapter 32 Ning Hao calls "Brother"

The next day, Xu Yi came to the Photography Academy under Beijing Film Academy.

Shooting a music video is definitely not possible without a director.

It’s just that his current directing skills are only at entry level, so he can definitely shoot ordinary MVs.

But if the requirements are too high, it won’t work.

What's more, he has to be the male lead in the MV, which would be even more difficult if he directed and acted in it himself.

However, he rejected the director recommended by Warner because he thought of someone who was very suitable.

That is Ning Hao, who is now a sophomore at Beijing Film Academy of Photography!

Strictly speaking, Ning Hao is not a student of Beijing University of Electronic Science and Technology.

Because the photography college he attended was just a second-level college under Beijing Film Academy.

And he has a junior college degree, not a bachelor's degree.

So in Xu Yi's previous life, he only studied at the Photography Academy for two years before graduating.

However, art is something that cannot be measured by academic qualifications.

Besides, everyone knows the academic performance of art students.

Even someone like Xu Yi, an undergraduate who was admitted to Beijing University of Electronic Science and Technology.

My college entrance exam results aren’t that great!
At this time, Ning Hao had already gained a certain reputation in the Photography Academy.

Some time ago, I spent half a month with a few classmates to shoot my first movie in my life - "Incense".

Later, this film won the Best Feature Film Award at the Tokyo Ginza Film Festival.

Therefore, Ning Hao's directing skills were already very good at this time.

At least it’s definitely enough to shoot a music video.

Not to mention that this is his old profession.

Before entering photography school, I often shot music videos for others.

"You want me to shoot a music video? No problem!"

In the dormitory, Ning Hao was very surprised to see Xu Yi coming to him on his own initiative.

But he agreed immediately!
Didn't even ask the price!

He didn't even want to know why Xu Yi came to him!
Because he had just finished filming his first movie in his life, he almost had no money to eat!
If someone asks him to do a job now, why would he care about you?
You must take on the job first!

And he also knows Xu Yi.

I know that Xu Yi is very popular on the Internet.

Still a student of Beijing University of Electronic Science and Technology.

So he was not worried that Xu Yi would lie to him.

"I plan to shoot 10 music videos, and the salary will be yuan per video. Is this acceptable to you?"

Xu Yi said again.

He had already learned about the MV director's salary before.

Generally, someone will take it if it costs two to three thousand yuan.

If you have higher requirements, it will only cost five or six thousand yuan.

But he must be shooting a masterpiece, so ten thousand yuan a film is not expensive.

It is also impossible for him to take special care of Ning Hao just because he will become a big director in the future.

I asked Ning Hao to shoot the MV just because I was impressed by his directing skills.

It's not about making friends with him before he becomes famous.

Of course, the most important thing is that it is very cost-effective to ask Ning Hao to shoot the MV at this time.

Although Xu Yi is not short of money.

But under the same conditions, it is naturally better to spend less money.

What's more, in Xu Yi's opinion, in terms of director's level.

The directors introduced by Warner may not be as good as Ning Hao at this moment!
At least it’s definitely not okay to let them make a movie!

Not to mention winning awards!
"I can accept it! This is absolutely acceptable! Don't worry, Brother Xu, I promise to shoot the MV according to Brother Xu's requirements, and there will be absolutely no problems!"

I heard that the pay for this film is 10,000 yuan per film!
Ten more films to be made!
Ning Hao almost jumped up with joy!
He didn't care that he was older than Xu Yi and even called him "Brother Xu"!
You know, when he was filming "Incense", someone invested 40,000 yuan in him, and he was so excited that he couldn't sleep the whole night!
Now you can earn 10 by shooting MVs!
Don’t even mention calling “Brother Xu” for such a good thing.

Even if you call him "Master Xu", he would agree!
It won’t hurt you to scream anyway!

Before entering the photography school, he had been in society for several years.

I have lost all my shamelessness!

But then, he revealed a look of embarrassment... "Um, Brother Xu, can I bring a few assistants with me?"

In addition to a director, lighting, scenery and props are also essential for shooting an MV.

So he naturally hoped to make money with his roommates.

When he was filming "Incense" before, several roommates helped him a lot for free.

Although this kind of thing is very common in film schools.

Compared with salary, everyone needs an opportunity to exercise more.

But he was still very grateful in his heart!
"Except for the makeup artist, you can handle the rest as you wish. Your salary will be calculated based on the normal market price."

Xu Yi nodded and did not refuse Ning Hao's request.

There are only a few assistants, and their daily salary is at most one or two thousand yuan.

It’s only tens of thousands of yuan a month.

Even if the requirements are a bit high, 10 MVs can definitely be shot in a month at most.

And as long as the director's level is up to par, it doesn't matter if the other behind-the-scenes people's levels are a little lower.

They are shooting a music video, not a movie.

Although the requirements may not be lower than making a movie.

But in a music video of just a few minutes, you can slowly adjust the lighting and scenery.

If it really doesn't work, just change someone else when the time comes.

But it’s different for makeup artists.

This concerns Xu Yi’s own image, so he must not be careless!

Xu Yi also contacted a famous makeup artist in the circle through Wang Jinghua's relationship!
Then Xu Yi took out a contract and an envelope.

The contract is a normal director's contract.

The content is also very simple, and you can tell whether there are any pitfalls at a glance.

The envelope contained 20,000 yuan in advance payment for the film.

This is not because he knows Ning Hao is short of money.

Instead, he asked Ning Hao to use the money to buy two decent clothes.

No matter what, Ning Hao was the director he personally selected.

If his image is too bad by then, he will also lose face.

Others thought that Xu Yi couldn't afford the film remuneration!

After signing the contract, Xu Yi left.

Ning Hao and several roommates looked at each other.

Then they immediately cheered loudly!
Ning Hao couldn't help but take out the hundred-dollar bills from the envelope and counted them on the spot!

When Xu Yi was here before, he felt a little embarrassed.

There was no verification of the amount of money.

I just think the thickness is about right.

But now that Xu Yi has left, there is naturally nothing to worry about!
"yeah!!!"

"Brother Hao, it's done now!"

"Thank you Brother Hao for helping us get rich together!"

Looking at Ning Hao who had counted the money, several roommates immediately congratulated him.

Ning Hao was not stingy and simply waved his hand: "Let's go, I'll treat you at noon, let's celebrate together!"

Then he walked out with a few roommates, feeling refreshed!
Of course, he didn't forget what Xu Yi said.

I decided to buy myself two high-end clothes after dinner.

For example, there is a brand called Baleno, which seems to be quite good.

And you can tell it’s a high-end brand as soon as you hear it!

At this time, Xu Yi left Ning Hao's dormitory and went to a coffee shop near Beijing Electric and asked for a private room.

People say there are many coffee shops in Shanghai, but the same is true in Beijing.

Especially near art colleges like Beijing University of Electronic Science and Technology.

Then Xu Yi ordered a lunch set and sent another text message to Liu Yifei.

Then, about an hour later, Liu Yifei and another strange beauty pushed open the door of the box and walked in.
