The Birth of the Best Director

Chapter 11 Wow! Beautiful like a hazy poem!

……

Lu Zhiyuan worked for three days and finally finished the post-production of the MV.

"Brother Kun, I leave it to you."

It was agreed that Lu Zhiyuan would be responsible for technical matters, while Xin Yukun would be responsible for business matters.

"Ayuan, thank you for your hard work."

"I've seen your music video, it's absolutely amazing. You'll definitely be able to win over Miss Jing Tian in one fell swoop!"

"But I hope you promise me one thing. From now on, don't write songs or music videos for other female stars. I'm afraid Sister Tiantian will take her anger out on me."

There is no doubt about Lu Zhiyuan's skills.

But the problem is that too much technology is sometimes not a good thing.

Being with a rich woman is a shortcut to their career.

But if Lu Zhiyuan relies on his good skills to flirt with other female stars in the entertainment industry, would Miss Jing Tian be happy if she knew about it?

Lu Zhiyuan has good skills, and Miss Jing Tian may not be willing to deal with Lu Zhiyuan, but can't she deal with Xin Yukun?

"Don't worry. After this, we'll both be big movie directors. Why would we bother shooting music videos? I won't let myself get so low."

Not only will you not make much money by copying songs and shooting MVs, even if the MV wins an award, you probably won't gain any good talent.

Lu Zhiyuan is not a fool. It's okay to do this kind of thing that puts the cart before the horse. It's okay to do it once in the initial stage, but how can he do it every day?
"I feel relieved that you have this awareness."

Xin Yukun thought so too.

Now that he's a famous film director, it would be embarrassing to shoot music videos again.

Unless, you pay more.

"By the way, I asked a friend to buy you a latex pillow. I heard it's very comfortable to sleep on. She'll deliver it to your door later. Remember to open the door."

Xin Yukun did not forget Miss Jing Tian's instructions and prepared a thoughtful bedtime gift for Lu Zhiyuan.

"Thanks."

My broken pillow is indeed a bit uncomfortable.

As for the friend Xin Yukun mentioned, Lu Zhiyuan didn't take it seriously. What kind of friends could Brother Kun have?
I guess he is a tea lover.

……

Starry Star Company.

Xin Yukun was in Zhao Shanshan's office, complaining to her.

His words hinted to Zhao Shanshan that the final payment for the MV and the 10 yuan travel expenses should be transferred to her.

Inadvertently, he suddenly saw a beautiful figure appear in front of him. He immediately stood up with a hint of flattery.

"Sister Tiantian, are you here too?"

Xin Yukun was a little surprised when Jing Tian appeared in the company.

At this point in time, shouldn't Jing Tian still be at Jiaozuo Film and Television City, filming her historical drama?
"Come back for the final exam."

Jing Tian replied simply, then looked at Xin Yukun with a hint of anticipation in her eyes: "Is my MV, Ayuan, ready?"

"it is done."

Xin Yukun smiled and nodded, then glanced at Zhao Shanshan: "If the product wasn't finished, I wouldn't have the nerve to ask Mr. Zhao for the balance."

Upon hearing this, Jing Tian suddenly became impatient: "Hurry up, find a multimedia conference room so I can take a look."

Xin Yukun knew better than anyone how beautiful Lu Zhiyuan took the photo of Miss Jing Tian.

At this moment, he said very tactfully: "I think it would be better to call everyone in the company and check together to fill in the gaps."

What is filling in the gaps?
Lu Zhiyuan's MV shooting skills are likely to make everyone stunned, and then marvel at Jing Tian's beauty.

That's right.

Xin Yukun just wanted to flatter Miss Jingtian.

To be honest, they didn't make much money from filming the MV this time.

I almost lost money.

The photography team spent all the money saved on props and art.

The pink artificial flower bed that Jing Tian took pictures of on the first day cost him several thousand dollars. Jing Tian was happy about it, but he didn't know that his heart was bleeding.

"Alright."

Zhao Shanshan, the experienced one, instantly understood what Xin Yukun wanted to do.

But she didn't think of stopping it, instead she fully supported it.

In the past few days, Jing Tian suffered a lot in the crew of "The Biography of Sun Tzu" and complained to her every day.

In order to avoid being idle, she ran back to the company.

If she didn't make Jing Tian happy, she wouldn't be able to explain to her superiors.

……

Multimedia conference room.

Xin Yukun was stunned when he saw that the staff members came in one after another and quickly filled up the conference room.

Good guy.

Jing Tian is indeed a top-notch white, rich and beautiful woman.

The company that serves only her actually employs hundreds of people.

The conference room is so big that it can hardly accommodate everyone.

This made Xin Yukun even more determined to be with the rich woman.

"This is the finished product of the 'Maybe' music video produced by our company for Sister Tiantian. Everyone, take a look and give me some valuable feedback. I'll find someone to revise it later."

"Our company's principle is that any work must be done with the utmost care and attention to detail until the customer is satisfied."

Xin Yukun spoke the polite words very beautifully.

But he thought to himself, even I, an expert, can't point out any shortcomings, so these laymen will probably just say "awesome".

"Brother Kun, let's start."

Seeing Jing Tian sitting upright with an expectant look in her eyes, Zhao Shanshan nodded to Xin Yukun. Xin Yukun turned off the lights and turned on the projector.

The next second, the prelude of the song slowly sounded.

……

“Maybe the sunshine in the south shines on the wind in the north.”

"Maybe time was blown away and never left a trace."

Along with the singing, the pictures of the MV also appeared.

Under the backlit lens, the whole scene is warm and bright. The sunlight shines through the glass windows and refracts into the house, presenting a bubble-like colorful halo.

Full of fantasy.

A pair of slender hands took out a yellowed invoice from the photo album.

The camera gave a close-up.

The date on the invoice is [July 31, 2004].

"Ah, this?"

Others may not understand the significance of this time, but Jing Tian has heard Lu Zhiyuan's story.

I still remember the encounter I had on the Xi'an city wall 5 years ago.

It's fine if you just keep thinking about it, or write a song about it, but you even made a music video for it?

Ah.

the man.

Thinking she had noticed Lu Zhiyuan's little thoughts, Jing Tian proudly loosened the scarf around her neck, but the corners of her mouth inadvertently curled up.

——My damn charm really has nowhere to go.

She continued to read.

At this time, the camera turned to a wall clock.

The hour hand suddenly stopped, then began to rotate counterclockwise. As time went back, the sun outside the window hid back into the valley.

The past invoices, the reversal of the clock, and the montage editing techniques clearly imply that the story will go back to 2004.

"Let's see what tricks you can come up with."

Jing Tian felt that she had seen through Lu Zhiyuan's little thoughts.

But other people don’t understand.

This secret, known only to the two of them, suddenly struck her as very interesting.

……

“Maybe there are many wandering souls in BJ’s Houhai.”

“Maybe there’s a group of lonely people in a tavern in Chengdu.”

As the song started, Jing Tian finally saw herself, wearing a beautiful and exquisite ancient costume, strolling on the streets of the city.

It doesn't fit in with the city scene.

However, it is easy to imagine that she is a tourist.

While Jing Tian was walking through the crowd, the editing inserted some scenes of Houhai and the bustle in the tavern... and she was always moving forward.

While waiting at a traffic light.

The crowd moved like a machine, and she passed by a young man in school uniform carrying a drawing board.

Suddenly, a piece of drawing paper fell down.

She picked up the drawing paper and saw a picture of an ancient city wall and two dolls broken in the wind.

At this moment, the picture suddenly slowed down.

The camera gave Jing Tian a close-up.

Warm yellow tones, soft focus against the light, sunlight shining through the tips of her hair, and in the distance a fallen maple leaf dotted on the pond, rippling the water slowly.

As if on cue, ripples began to form within her.

“This picture is so beautiful.”

"What kind of lens is this? Why is it so clean and transparent? The perfect amount of white space and lingering sound makes it feel like I'm appreciating a prose poem."

"No, I think I've seen something similar. It's from Shunji Iwai's film 'Hana to Alice.' But it's not a copy, it's even better."

"This director is really good at taking portraits. Even better than Iwai Shunji, his portraits have that kind of flavor. There's a hazy poetic quality to them."

In the conference room, many people began to whisper.

As professionals, they have naturally seen a lot of MV shots.

At this stage, domestic MVs are basically of a dark style, or are shot indoors with monotonous and simple pictures.

It's rare to see an MV like Lu Zhiyuan's, which is full of freshness, naturalness, hazy artistic conception, and is specifically designed for portraits.

In particular, Lu Zhiyuan's shots often feature a warm atmosphere where sunlight shines through gaps in the leaves.

The changes in light and shadow make Jing Tian's pure beauty stand out very brightly.

In this era, it is unique.

"Are you dumbfounded?"

"I knew it would have this effect."

Hearing the discussions in the conference room, Miss Jing Tian could hardly suppress her smile, and Xin Yukun felt very proud.

Ayuan is really awesome.

People make MVs for the effect of the song.

Lu Zhiyuan, purely for the purpose of photographing Jing Tian.

In the MV, all the narrative shots are designed to highlight Jing Tian’s pure beauty.

From the very beginning, Lu Zhiyuan's starting point was not simple.

However, customer satisfaction is the most important thing.
