After Chen Minhao and Kang Hui took their seats, Wu Hongrong called the waiter and said, "We are all here. Please start serving the dishes."
The main dish of this restaurant is Kyoto roast duck, but other Kyoto specialty snacks are also available, and the service quality is good and the food is served very quickly.
"Well, this thing is delicious. What is it called?" After Director Xu An ate one, she immediately picked up the second one.
Wu Hongrong smiled and said: "This is called donkey rolling."
Xu An adjusted her glasses and praised: "This donkey roll is delicious. Every time I come to the mainland to shoot, I always feel that I have gained a lot of weight." After saying that, she immediately went to pick up the third one.
Wu Hongrong laughed and said: "No matter how delicious the donkey roll is, don't eat too much! We mainly eat Kyoto roast duck for this meal. If you eat too much now, you won't be able to eat it when the Kyoto roast duck is served."
After Xu An swallowed the third donkey into his stomach, he nodded slightly and said, "You are absolutely right! That's the truth. If you eat too many desserts before a meal, you will not be able to eat the main meal. Let's eat one meal It is necessary to clearly distinguish the priorities, especially when shooting!
Although I have never shot a MV in the past, I also know that the MV itself is to serve music. Music and shots must be used to impress and influence the audience. If we add too much plot and dialogue, it will become a micro movie. Isn't it just like this meal? I was supposed to eat Kyoto roast duck, but ended up eating too much and was full. This is putting the cart before the horse! "
Wu Hongrong was stunned and crying in his heart: I'm just afraid that you won't have the stomach to eat roast duck. How can you "attack" my thoughts with a meal and unlimited divergence
Chen Minhao silently picked himself up a donkey and rolled around. He decided that he would eat more and talk less during tonight's meal. Xu An's divergent ability is too deep, and he will be led into a ditch if he is not careful.
Wu Hongrong opened his mouth for a long time without spitting out a word. He suddenly couldn't think of how to refute. He turned his head and saw Chen Minhao who was eating deliciously. He snorted softly in his heart and said:
"Xiao Chen, do you still remember what I told you about my dad before you recorded the song yesterday? 'Father's love is like a mountain, and I will never forget to love you even if I forget the world.' I think this is a good starting point. What do you think
Xu An and Kang Hui put down their chopsticks and looked at Chen Minhao with burning eyes. Chen Minhao felt that the temperature in the private room had suddenly increased several degrees, and he felt that his back was starting to sweat.
"The story told by Teacher Wu really touched me, but I think what Director Xu An said is also reasonable. Generally speaking, MVs do not have any dialogue scenes."
Wu Hongrong cast a contemptuous look at Chen Minhao and secretly cursed "white-eyed wolf" in his heart.
Chen Minhao thought for a moment and then added: "But I think for ordinary MV shooting, you can't hire a great director like Director Xu An, and we also found Xing Xi and Teacher Xing to star in this MV. The two teachers' I am very happy to join, and I feel very lucky. I think this may be the highest standard for MV shooting, and the quality of the final MV will definitely not be bad.
But it is precisely because of the two famous teachers joining the team that I feel it would be a pity to shoot and produce the MV according to the conventional methods in the past. After all, our production lineup now far exceeds the average MV team.
Maybe if we choose to add a little plot, there may not be good market feedback. After all, innovation means risk. But I feel that as an artist, it is necessary to make some innovations when conditions permit. "
Xu An frowned, thought for a while and said: "Although Xiao Chen is very young, this sentence is right. As an artist, it is necessary to make some innovations when conditions permit. Then let's be a Just try it boldly.”
Wu Hongrong gave Chen Minhao a chicken foot. He nodded with satisfaction, thinking: Although Xiao Chen looks ugly, he talks like an old sow wearing a bra, one after another.
Kang Hui silently gave Chen Minhao a thumbs up in her heart. She knew that the artist she led, Chen Minhao, was better at pulling strings, but she never thought that he could pull it off to this level. If she hadn't understood his nature, she would have I almost believed him. Well, you can also bring him with you to meet with some investors in the future, maybe it will work wonders.
Xu An took a sip of water and added: "To be honest, I have never shot a MV myself, and I never thought I would shoot a MV. The reason why I agreed to shoot this time is, on the one hand, because I owe Xiao Wuzi a favor , on the other hand, this song really moved me.
Since you said you want innovation, then we will add a small narrative segment, but it is up to me to decide how to shoot, Xiao Wuzi, if you dare to point fingers, I will leave immediately. Did you hear that? "
Wu Hongrong said happily: "Okay, okay, okay!"
Xu An looked at Kang and asked: "What is your company's approximate budget for shooting this MV? I am here to help myself, and it is an experimental shooting. I will not charge you this time. You are responsible for food and drink." That's it.
But like other actors, lighting, theater management and venue fees all cost money, and this money cannot be saved. "
Kang Hui flipped his hair: "You came all the way from Hong Kong to shoot. It's because of your enthusiasm, but we can't let your help go in vain. As for the cost, you don't have to worry about it, because we hope this MV can become a high-quality product. We are concerned about the return on investment of this MV, but we value the social impact of this MV even more."
Director Xu An said excitedly: "You are a very good agent and have a strong sense of social responsibility. Unlike many of our entertainment companies in Hong Kong, which only care about profit."
Kang Hui smiled like a flower. Chen Minhao felt that this was the first time and possibly the only time in her life that she heard such a compliment. It was due to a wonderful misunderstanding. The social impact Kang Hui said should be the improvement of her visibility and popularity. , and Xu An thought she was talking about social responsibility.
However, Xu An's excitement is not unreasonable. Her main focus is literary and artistic films, most of which are well-received but not well-received. She has won numerous awards and has "trained" countless movie stars and actresses, but her box office has never been able to increase and she is not favored by investors.
Kang Hui smiled and said: "Please give me the contact information of your assistant. If you need us to make any preparations, ask your assistant to tell me. We will fully cooperate with you if we can do it."
Xu An waved his hand and said: "You can just call me. I usually don't need an assistant. I can take care of myself. After I go back to the hotel to sort it out, I will send you the preparations for the shooting. We will do it tomorrow Let’s start work.”
