"Feng, I miss you so much!" After not seeing him for a month, Wilson could actually speak Chinese quite well. Although his accent was heavy, at least you could understand what he was saying.
After filming "A Bite of China", Wilson has become a well-known director. Many of his unique perspectives in this film have been praised by people, but he has not stopped.
While working hard to learn Chinese, he also worked as an assistant to other directors through his connections in Jiangdu Entertainment.
Today he heard that Feng Xiaoyun and Yan Zi were going to shoot a music MV, and since he happened to have nothing to do, he volunteered to be the assistant director.
The other assistant director is Tian Xiaopeng, an animation film director who was invited to Jiangdu by Feng Xiaoyun because this MV will use a lot of special effects shots and even CG.
Tian Xiaopeng also came up to say hello. Feng Xiaoyun had been out of contact for the past month. He had received a huge investment from Jiangdu Entertainment, but he felt uneasy, as if the money was burning his hands. Now that Feng Xiaoyun was back, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
I came here today to record this MV, on the one hand to serve as assistant director, and on the other hand I also wanted to discuss some issues about the film with Feng Xiaoyun.
The male lead of the MV, Feng Xiaoyun, did not look for anyone else this time and did it himself.
Because there are a lot of action scenes in the MV, many of which were designed by him. If he wants to find another actor, he may have to explain the movements and even find a stunt double.
With his fighting skills and physical condition, he can basically handle everything.
"How is it? Handsome, right?" Feng Xiaoyun showed his costume to a few people. He was wearing a flowing white robe, which matched his tall and straight figure, and he really had an otherworldly air.
"Yun, can you use your kung fu?" Wilson knew a little about Feng Xiaoyun's strength, but usually Feng Xiaoyun was reluctant to perform more. Today he finally had the chance to see it.
"Wilson, these moves are not kung fu, they are just a performance. Of course, you can also say that they evolved from some traditional kung fu moves."
I didn’t expect that after being in China for so long, Wilson still couldn’t figure out the authenticity of Kung Fu.
At this moment, many people in the studio suddenly exclaimed. Feng Xiaoyun turned around and saw that it was Yan Zi who had changed into his costume and came out.
She was wearing a six-pin headdress, a light blue shawl on her shoulder straps made of satin with auspicious cloud patterns, and a colorful necklace on her jade-like neck that reflected rainbow-like light.
Every gesture, every smile, every step she takes exudes the aura of a fairy.
"Feng Xiaoyun, what kind of shoes are these? They are so difficult to wear?" As a result, the first thing Yan Zi said when she walked in was to complain about her shoes.
It seems that the graceful steps she took just now were forced.
"These are heavy stage shoes. Let's change them after we finish shooting the static poster."
The costumes and props for this MV were all designed by Feng Xiaoyun, who specially invited a folklore researcher as a consultant. At that time, he did not take into account that Yan Zi would need to do a lot of movements, and such shoes would be inconvenient.
Because Feng Xiaoyun didn't need a body double, Yan Zi also insisted that she didn't need one. She had a good dance foundation, a flexible body, and could perform many of the designed moves. In addition, wires were needed in many places, so she just let him do it.
"Boss Yan, can we start filming?" The director was from Jiangdu Entertainment Company, so he had to respectfully ask his boss for permission.
"Director Mu, you're the director and you have the final say. There's no Mr. Yan on this set, only one actor, so you don't need to ask me."
"Okay, okay, let's get started then."
Of course, Director Mu said this, but he definitely didn't take it seriously.
Shooting such a scene with a lot of special effects shots is actually very boring. The two people often jump around in front of a green screen, which is almost like monkey show in Yan Zi's words.
Or it's a performance without props. Sometimes the actors are still trying their best, but there are always people on the side who can't help laughing, and then they laugh with Yan Zi or Feng Xiaoyun.
The two people's rival scenes, which were originally thought to be able to be filmed smoothly, were often filled with laughter. The one who laughed was not Feng Xiaoyun, a non-professional, but the professional actor Yan Zi.
"Sorry, I'll adjust it."
Feng Xiaoyun just started to tease Yan Zi, and she couldn't help it anymore and could only shout to stop.
Director Mu was also helpless. If it were any other actor, he would have been scolded to death long ago, but this was his boss, so what? He could just tell her not to laugh.
Yan Zi also knew that this was her own problem. The key point was that this was her first time acting with Feng Xiaoyun alone, and Feng Xiaoyun was usually very playful when he was with her. Now when she suddenly saw his serious face in front of her, she couldn't help but want to laugh.
"Actually, this MV is based on a story. How about I tell you that story?" Feng Xiaoyun walked over and sat down next to her.
"story?"
"Yes, actually, this is a very sad love story. My character is a genius cultivator in a sect of immortals, and your character is actually the young master of the demon world. This sect of immortals is determined to become immortal, and they need to rely on the spiritual power of the demon world..."
The story is not very long, and Feng Xiaoyun omitted a lot of minor details, but he has a good eloquence and the story is very vivid. When Yan Zi heard that the demon world was out of danger in the end, the heroine also left with the demon world, leaving the hero alone in the human world, his eyes could not help but turn red.
"How is it? Do you feel more involved?"
"Hate it! Who wrote such a sad story?" Afraid that her makeup would be smudged, Yan Zi tried hard to hold back her tears and gently wiped the corners of her eyes with the corner of a tissue.
"Hey, of course it's me. I have several more stories like this. I'll tell them to you slowly when I get back."
"No, it makes me uncomfortable to listen to just one story!" I said no, but in my heart I felt it would be a shame not to listen to such a good story, and I was very conflicted.
"Is that all right? Everyone's still waiting?"
Yan Zi then remembered that the entire crew was still waiting for him. He stood up and apologized to Director Mu, and said that he would treat all the employees to a big meal after work, which caused everyone to cheer.
However, this time when the two were acting, Yan Zi put herself into the shoes of the heroine in Feng Xiaoyun's story. As expected, she was more invested and the progress became faster.
Even so, it took two days to finish shooting all the shots of the two people.
Then Yan Zi and Feng Xiaoyun split up, Yan Zi went to record the songs, and Feng Xiaoyun worked with Tian Xiaopeng and others on the post-production. After all, he wrote the script, and he was the only one who controlled many details. After more than half a month of hard work, the MV was finally completed.
The crew also organized a small preview meeting, and everyone was amazed at the final effect. Wilson, whose vocabulary was not rich enough, watched the entire MV using only one word.
"Fuck~~"
