Chapter 225 "Rose No. 404" MV shooting completed
After finishing the two-person shot with Gu Yan, it was almost ten o'clock in the evening.
However, Xie Qingyu's work is far from over. He still has a solo shot and two two-person scenes with Bai Yan and Wei Liangchen waiting to be completed.
The shooting progress of other members is roughly the same. According to this pace, they will not be able to officially finish work until 1 a.m. at the earliest.
This is because the production team took into consideration that the members had to continue filming early the next morning, so they deliberately compressed the working hours to ensure their condition.
"Very good, Mr. Xie, don't be nervous. Just take another small step forward... Yes, this is the spot."
At this moment, Xie Qingyu was standing on the suspended wooden corridor on the second floor, his eyes covered with thick black cloth, and a wire rope wrapped around his waist.
Although he was not sure which link caused the character to go blind, it didn't matter. The editing team had their own narrative logic.
Years of shooting experience told him that as long as the general direction follows the main storyline of the process, there will be no problems. After all, they will be able to see what the finished product looks like later. At present, they only need to do their job and give the best performance.
Shooting an MV requires a sense of faith. You must firmly believe that every shot that is focused on has its best place.
Just like performing on stage, you have to be determined to create a great picture!
With so many high-definition cameras, any subtle expression can't be hidden~
Combining the director's instructions with his own understanding, Xie Qingyu slowly bent his knees and knelt on the creaking corridor bridge.
He lowered his head, perfectly interpreting the posture of a "person on trial".
Suddenly, a strong light came from the front and a faint burning sensation came from the back of his hand. This was a warning signal given to him by the outside world.
The boy's expression remained unchanged, but he raised his face in an almost innocent manner.
Although he couldn't see, his movements were not at all flustered. He even stretched out his fingers tentatively, as if to touch something invisible.
The director behind the monitor held his breath: the young man kneeling alone in the picture wore a jeweled laurel crown and gorgeous clothes. Although he was blindfolded with a black cloth, he seemed to be able to accurately sense the position of the camera.
His fingertips moved closer and closer. Under the strong light, his whole body was glowing with an illusory halo, and his skin was so translucent that the veins could almost be seen.
Even the black cloth covering his eyes seemed to no longer exist, giving people the illusion that he was looking through the cloth and looking at the person outside the camera.
Just as his fingertips were about to touch the camera, the boy suddenly stopped.
The next second, a "net" woven from rose petals sprayed out from outside the screen.
The young man raised the corners of his lips, calmly withdrew his hand, opened his arms frankly and let himself fall into this long-planned capture.
His smile became more charming in the rain of petals. Who will be the next sacrifice?
Is it all the people watching and watching him? Or is it...
“Click——”
When the director's voice sounded, Xie Qingyu immediately regained his composure.
This one should have been passed, but as usual, in order to have more options for post-editing, we must definitely keep a few more.
Sure enough, after just a moment, the staff came forward to clean up the rose petals scattered on the bridge.
Since it is a high-altitude shoot, you only need to sweep it down and then clean it up after all the shooting is completed.
While cleaning, she also whispered to him, "Teacher Xie, are you feeling unwell? Do you need to untie the black cloth and rest for a while?"
Xie Qingyu shook his head, indicating that it was not necessary.
He would rather finish shooting in one go than indulge in this brief visual recovery. Repeatedly falling into darkness can easily make people feel uneasy and affect the shooting state.
After taking a few more takes, the director called for a stop. This time, no staff members came over and there was no other movement on the scene.
Xie Qingyu hesitated for a moment, then raised his hand, hooked his fingertips around the black blindfold, and gently pulled it.
The sudden onset of light made him squint subconsciously, his eyelashes trembling slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes after adapting to the light.
However, at this moment, he suddenly heard the director clapping his hands vigorously and shouting excitedly: "Good!"
Xie Qingyu was stunned and turned to the director blankly, only to see that the indicator light on the camera facing his face was still red - the machine was still running.
But I clearly heard a “click” just now...?
The director was already waving at him excitedly: "Qingyu! Come and see!"
Xie Qingyu got up, went downstairs and walked closer to the monitor. He looked down at the screen, was startled at first, then laughed and shook his head.
——In the picture, the moment when he took off the cloth, squinted his eyes, and raised his eyes was accurately captured by the camera.
The moment the boy took off the cloth, his pupils contracted slightly due to the stimulation of the strong light, and his eyelashes trembled like butterfly wings.
When he opened his eyes again, there was still moisture in his hazy pupils, but a hint of surprise flashed across his face the moment he saw the camera clearly.
There was a layer of hazy mist in his eyes, like a god waking up from a long night, with a trace of confusion from being ignorant of the world, but regaining clarity in the next second.
The director patted him on the shoulder, his tone unable to conceal his excitement: "Masterpiece! This is absolutely a masterpiece!"
Xie Qingyu smiled and nodded. He had to admit that the professionals' on-the-spot reactions and shooting sense were indeed amazingly sharp.
The simple action of removing the blindfold was given the shocking power of rebirth under the director's lens.
After this shot is finished, Xie Qingyu will change his clothes and move to another shot. This is also the last set of clothes for today. The scenes where he will compete with Wei Liangchen and Bai Lang will all be in this set of clothes.
The style remains breathtakingly gorgeous, with intricate silk lace interwoven and sparkling rhinestone jewels embellishing it. Every inch of fabric exudes a luxurious atmosphere.
Almost all of Xie Qingyu's clothes today were of this kind of heavy design, which was very oppressive.
The dark purple dress in front of you is the highlight. This color is extremely picky, and if you don’t wear it well, it will be an epic fashion disaster.
But... as the old saying goes, purple is the most charming, right?
"My benefactor, the flowers in our family have been waiting for you until they've wilted!"
Before Xie Qingyu stepped into the shooting room, Wei Liangchen's excited voice was heard. The excitement that could not be concealed made Xie Qingyu's alarm bells ring instantly.
Sure enough, as soon as I entered the door, I saw Wei Liangchen playing with the prop rose chain. The silver chain swung back and forth, forming a dangerous arc between his fingers.
When he saw Xie Qingyu come in, he immediately showed a malicious smile.
"Goodbye!"
Xie Qingyu turned around and was about to leave, but Wei Liangchen, who was prepared, rushed forward and stopped him.
"Don't go~"
Wei Liangchen tugged at his sleeve and shook it, then began to act innocent. "It's super fun, why not give it a try~"
Dear, please don't make such expressions to tease decent women and men with your handsome face. It's so incongruous that it makes me want to touch you.
Xie Qingyu raised his hand to support his forehead. The previous slap was too early. There was someone here who deserved it more. Could he still apply for permission now?
“How to shoot it specifically?”
Xie Qingyu had seen a lot of storms after all, so he would naturally not be scared by such a small prop.
But you still have to maintain a sense of shame, after all, you are a serious idol, right?
While the two were joking around, the assistant director had already adjusted the camera position.
She stared at the monitor and her eyes suddenly lit up. "Teachers, we need to swap roles. Let's have Teacher Xie kidnap Teacher Wei."
“Hahaha… Huh?!”
Wei Liangchen's exaggerated smile froze in an instant.
How could the scene he had been looking forward to for so long go from kidnapping someone to being kidnapped in the blink of an eye?
The smile in Xie Qingyu's eyes almost overflowed. This was such a pleasant surprise.
He really prefers the role of the superior controller to being bound by constraints.
Being tied up or something, go to hell.
"Why...why?" Wei Liangchen's voice trembled as he was still making his last struggle.
The assistant director pursed his lips awkwardly: "Maybe it's... an aura problem?"
She couldn't just say that Wei Liangchen's way of swinging the chain was like a night market vendor throwing flying pancakes, right?
What a waste of this handsome face. I clearly wanted to design a thrilling scene, but standing in front of Xie Qingyu, he looked like a little Karami.
It doesn't look like he can tie the other person down at all.
The original plan would definitely turn into a comedy, so it had to be adjusted.
Without waiting for Wei Liangchen to continue his sophistry, Xie Qingyu elegantly extended his hand: "Leave it to me."
Suddenly remembering something, he imitated the other person's previous tone and said with a smile: "It's fun, let's try it~"
Seeing that Wei Liangchen was still holding the chain tightly and refused to let go, Xie Qingyu patted his shoulder helplessly: "Don't worry, I will be very gentle~"
So, let him do the "hard work" of kidnapping people. Although he may have to suffer, it doesn't matter if he makes some sacrifices for the sake of art.
Seeing that there was no room for improvement, Wei Liangchen accepted his fate and listened mechanically like a zombie as the assistant director explained the plot and action techniques.
Although the body is still there, the soul has long been away from the body.
Seeing this, Xie Qingyu raised her hand and gently touched the back of his neck with her fingertips, which did not mess up the look and could also bring him back to his senses.
Isn't it just being tied up once?
What's the big deal? We have to know that if we are kidnapped once, we may be kidnapped countless times in the future (crossed out).
The most important thing is to keep a steady mind. If you can't withstand this little blow, you may never get back on track.
From Xie Qingyu's perspective, as long as Wei Liangchen can restrain his silly temperament, he still has a great chance with this face.
In fact, the action design is quite restrained, after all, it is an MV for the general public.
Even the death scenes are handled extremely obscurely, not to mention these things.
The rose chain is just a symbol of emotional bond in the story line. The focus is on showing the tension between the two people, without too many ambiguous hints.
"Shall we try one first to see how it goes?" asked the assistant director.
Xie Qingyu and Wei Liangchen looked at each other and nodded in tacit understanding. Joking aside, they couldn't be careless during the formal shooting.
As the red light on the camera came on, Xie Qingyu's aura suddenly changed.
He kicked the door open, and the sound of his boots hitting the ground echoed in the empty room.
He glanced around coldly, finally locking onto the figure huddled in the corner.
He strode forward, grabbed the man's hair, and forced the pale yet handsome face to look up.
When he was about to remove the gauze from the man's right eye when his fingertips tapped the man's cheek, his wrist was suddenly firmly grasped.
"Heh..." Xie Qingyu sneered and slowly pulled off the gauze with force.
There was a mixture of pleading and fear in the other person's eyes, but deep down there was an infatuation that was difficult to conceal.
This discovery made Xie Qingyu smile even deeper. Let him uncover the truth of this betrayal and see who was the first to sink in this game?
