The MV director of "Lost Wings" hired Yang Jiyao, a famous advertising director in China.

Advertising directors are different from film directors. The former's work is not long, usually only ten seconds, while the latter's each work is as short as ninety minutes, and can be as long as three hours. The advertising director pays more attention to the stimulation of the picture and the beauty of the colors, and does not have high requirements for the overall story type. Yang Jiyao is one of the best.

Yang Jiyao, who studied photography, is born with a keen understanding of color. He has shot many advertising blockbusters and has become famous in the industry for his rich and brilliant colors. This time, Zhao Chuyun invited her to shoot the MV for "Lost Wings", which was actually overkill. After all, Yang Jiyao has just recently received an advertisement invitation from a top international luxury brand, and she is also a hot new star in the director's world.

However, when Rong Xu had just arrived on the set, the director approached affectionately and held on to his hand.

Yang Jiyao is thirty-two years old this year, dressed in a fashionable and beautiful fashion, with short hair, dyed a dazzling blue-gray. This color has not even been tried by Rong Xu, but it is suitable for this avant-garde director.

At this moment, Yang Jiyao carefully observed the young man in front of her, and after watching for a while, she said with a smile, "I have seen you. Sister Yun told me about this the day before yesterday, and I hope I can help "Lost Wings" Find a director friend you know, as soon as I hear that you sang it, it will come. Rong Xu, give me an autograph, come, come, let's take a photo! "

Having said that, Yang Jiyao took out her mobile phone and prepared to take pictures.

Such an enthusiastic director... This is the first time Rong Xu has met. Although Yang Jiyao is the youngest director Rong Xu has ever met, normal directors should be objective and serious on the set like Director Guo, Director Zheng and Director Liang, and it is impossible to laugh and play.

How did you put it in Director Yang's place... it's completely changed? !

Not giving Rong Rong a chance to react, nor giving Luo Zhentao a chance to separate the two, Yang Jiyao took Rong Rong's small hand with one hand, and moved closer to take two photos together. Originally, Rong Xu was a little surprised, but when Yang Jiyao said "eggplant", his professional professionalism made him reflexively show a perfect smile, his eyebrows and eyes slightly curved.

After taking the photo and getting the autograph, Director Yang finally calmed down.

Rong Xu smiled calmly and did not seem to have much reaction. Yang Jiyao stared at this calm and calm young man, a dark color flashed in his eyes, and then explained with a smile: "Actually, I have heard of you a long time ago. Meng Lan and I are good friends, and she told me about you. , said that you have good acting skills, a good personality, and are very dedicated... Yes, you also like to eat green peppers!"

Hearing the name "Meng Lan", Rong Xu was slightly taken aback, and soon thought of Tang Menglan.

Yang Jiyao is still emphasizing: "Meng Lan said that you are very helpful and gentle. Today, I am better than seeing a hundred times. It is really like what she said, very helpful."

The teenager smiled even brighter: "Are you willing to help others eat green peppers?"

Yang Jiyao laughed and spread her hands: "I didn't say that. Before, I watched a few episodes of "Chasing the Deer" for Meng Lan's sake, but I have watched all of your scenes. Rong Xu, look, you are in "Chasing the Deer" My name is Wan Zhaiyao here, my name is Yang Jiyao, we are both Yaoyao, and it is fate that we can shoot the MV together today."

Only actors have always been close to the director on purpose, and I have never seen a director so close to an actor.

Rong Xu believes that although he is still popular and has some popularity, Yang Jiyao is so enthusiastic that he also has doubts.

It always felt like... something was wrong.

Burying the confusion in their hearts, Rong Xu and Yang Jiyao talked for a while, and then began to exchange related matters of this shooting. The content of the filming is very simple, just some series of scenes, Rong Xu will sing alone in the picture, and the rest will be handed over to the actors to perform.

This song "Lost Wings" will be directed to fans in the form of a story MV. The MV script is about a pair of good friends who have grown up together since childhood. The two have their own dreams and have experienced many heartaches and hardships. They work together and slowly reached the pinnacle of life. Among them, the two also had a lot of differences, almost parted ways and fell into a cold war. The decade-long Cold War finally came to an end when one person died.

When we parted, you and I condemned each other, thinking that the friendship was lost.

When we say goodbye, it is already covered by white cloth, and we will never see each other again in eternity.

This MV is about pure bamboo-horse friendship, a friendship that grew up together from childhood to adulthood. Although we quarreled and bickered and experienced ups and downs, in the end, we were still attached to each other.

The purpose of the MV is to call on every fan to cherish the people around them, and not to know how to cherish them until they are lost.

Rong Xu has seen this script, and it is told in flashbacks. It is a quite satisfactory MV script. The effect of the film depends on the director's technique and strength. Presumably, Yang Jiyao will use montage techniques to add gorgeous colors to create a dream world that is both real and fantasy for fans.

After confirming the general shooting content, Rong Xu went to do makeup under the leadership of the field staff.

When leaving, Rong Xu always felt that something was wrong, turning his head from time to time to look around on the set. But there are only busy staff around, so what's wrong. With such a strange mood, Rong Xu finally entered the dressing room.

But the moment he entered the door, he didn't know that Yang Jiyao suddenly took a few steps to the side excitedly, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and quickly sent a message to his best friend.

[nice! It's really nice! It looks better in real life than on TV! Meng Lan, what you said is really good, I actually liked it even more after seeing the real person. Wan Chengyao is really too suicidal. In the future, if you have such little fresh meat, you have to introduce it to me. Do you know? ! !]

After a while, Tang Menglan replied speechlessly: [Don't you like girls?]

Yang Jiyao replied with a crackle: [What are you doing, I can't appreciate it anymore? This tender and well-behaved little fresh meat is my favorite. I really envy you, you can film with the little fresh meat and eat more tofu every day. It's not like me, all I see are models, models, models...]

This time, Tang Menglan was too lazy to reply, she curled her lips while she was doing makeup and filming, and complained to her agent: "I see so many beautiful models every day, and I keep complaining. Tell me, is she really? Lala? Shouldn't she just rush to see so many beautiful long legs, and like little fresh meat all day long."

This is probably similar to Tang Menglan also having many female fans, and homosexuals can also worship heterosexual idols. Yang Jiyao is right in what she said, she was originally trying to save Tang Menglan's face, so she forced herself to watch such a BG-oriented strategy film, but she was pulled down even if she didn't watch it, it was incredible—

As a Lala, she is not obsessed with the heroine Xiao Xiang or the second female lead, but instead is obsessed with a male character: Wan Chengyao!

This time Yang Jiyao took over the MV of "Lost Wings" for Rong Xu. Of course, high remuneration is definitely required, but if there is no Rong Xuzai, unless the song is sung by a king-level person, she is likely to take it. Otherwise, other first-line singers, she will never agree to be the director.

Soon, Rong Xu finished her makeup and changed into a red coat.

The bright red was worn on the boy's body, and with a few strands of red hair that were specially dyed, it looked a little strange and beautiful. Rong Xu rarely wears such brightly colored clothes, but once the fair-skinned and handsome young man puts on such a coat, it suddenly lights up. Everyone in the crew can't help but glance at him several times, especially Yang Jiyao. Nodding happily.

Phoenix eyes thin lips, glittering eyes, obviously wearing a fashionable leather jacket, but it looks like a horse in fresh clothes, which is enviable.

This is also the first time Rong Xu wears this kind of makeup. After coming to this world, the roles he played were either an elegant and outdated hermit, or an indifferent and cold domineering young marshal, and there was a movie "Black Clouds" that was not released, and Ling Xiao in it was a concert. , and did not wear too heavy makeup.

But this time, the makeup artist used cinnabar to draw an arc-shaped hook pattern along the corner of his right eye. The gorgeous cinnabar made these clear eyes a little more charming, which was very different from Rong Xu's image in the past, but this sense of difference made him even more amazing.

Without further ado, after putting on makeup, Yang Jiyao asked Rong Xu to shoot directly.

There is no plot, just singing, let alone Rong Xu, any singer without acting skills can do it easily. But doing it well is one thing, doing it well is another.

The MV was directed by Yang Jiyao, who was also in charge of filming.

At work, Yang Jiyao looked serious and said loudly: "Standing next to that window, you just imagine that you have just arrived in a big city and are ready to realize your dream of becoming a rock star. Bring a little passion and blood, and mainly express your singing. , it doesn't matter if the emotions are not rendered well enough. Action!"

"If you say, there is tomorrow."

"Will you appear tomorrow?"

"When the breeze blows by our window, who will remember that memory..."

Qingyue's peaceful voice sounded in the empty studio, and the makeup was obviously heavy on the stage, but when the voice came out, no one would think it was not pure enough.

Yang Jiyao, who was holding the camera, was also stunned for a moment. She quickly reacted and continued to stare at the scene in the camera. But when she looked at the camera, she found that Rong Xu was standing right in the center of the camera. He was standing in a position where the breeze outside the window could slowly blow over and lift up the messy broken hair.

The bright but not dazzling light hit him, from the right side of his face, and cast a nice shadow on the left side of his face. It seems that he was interrupted by the time gap. He sang quietly in the picture by himself. When the chorus of the first part was finished, he slowly opened his eyes and looked at the camera deeply.

Just as a ray of sunlight fell on the red cinnabar evoked by the right eye, it suddenly shone brightly.

Yang Jiyao was slightly startled, and the scene was over.

After hesitating for a moment, looking back at the video just shot, Yang Jiyao thought for a long time, then nodded and said, "Yes! Next!"

Then there is singing at the stairs, at the door, at the fountain. Rong Xu has been wearing this red coat all the time. In Yang Jiyao's lens, his gorgeous clothes are contrasted with the environment. The rich colors are like oil paintings, which are eye-catching.

Then, the morning shots were shot.

Next, Rong Xu went to change his second look.

In the MV of "Lost Wings", he has only two looks in total, this time it is a simple and elegant look of a white shirt.

At the beginning of the MV, it shows the ambition and mutual support between the two friends, but in the later stage, when the news of the other party's death comes, Yang Jiyao will design a picture. The picture of Rong Xu in red just singing by the window will suddenly shatter and become a picture of Rong Xu wearing a white shirt.

All the prosperity in the world has disappeared. In fact, what I really care about is you who used a broom as a guitar and a desk as a drum set with me when I was a child.

- This lens expresses such a moral.

Before I had you, I was a butterfly with wings, fresh and arrogant, unstoppable. After losing you, I returned to my original self. The most important thing in this world is not fame and fortune, or even illusory dreams, but the person who is by your side and always with you.

The same series of scenes, the same clear singing.

When Rong Xu entered the lens, he could pinpoint his position at the fastest speed and find the perfect intersection of light and shadow. The young man in the camera has a strong aura, when he is in a white shirt, he is as gentle and elegant as clear tea, and when he is in a red coat, he is as exciting as spirits.

"Okay! That's it, next to the stairs, move on to the next shot!"

This kind of temperament made Yang Jiyao applaud again and again, and she subconsciously treated Rong Xu the way she treated models.

Yang Jiyao often shoots hard photos for big-name magazines and top luxury brands. Those models are professionally trained and can even create five or six shapes in one second. The speed of changing movements and finding lenses is faster than the shutter speed of the cameraman.

Therefore, when working with models, Yang Jiyao can use no words, and the two sides speed up the speed very tacitly. But when working with Rong Xu, she even reached the speed of shooting model videos and photos.

One after another, the applause sounded on the set. After more than 20 scenes were all shot, Yang Jiyao realized that it was only 3:30 in the afternoon! The corners of her mouth twitched slightly, seeing that Rong Xu was ready to remove her makeup, change her clothes, and end the MV shooting, Yang Jiyao immediately said loudly, "I think I can change my look and try it out."

Hearing this, Rong Xu stopped and looked at Yang Jiyao in surprise. After a while, he smiled and nodded: "Okay."

Although this proposal was made privately by Yang Jiyao, which was not in line with the original shooting plan, when Rong Xu walked out of the makeup artist wearing a black cardigan, Yang Jiyao suddenly felt a shiver in her heart.

Really... so pretty! ! !

"Okay, let's take pictures in the room again. The props team spread a layer of white rose petals on the ground... What? No white roses? Find me in half an hour! There is a shopping mall next to it, there must be a flower shop in it, hurry up go!"

This time, the filming of "Lost Wings" did not end until eight o'clock in the evening. For a MV crew that only needs to shoot cross-scene scenes, they shot long enough. Rong Xu's mission was all over, but the next day they had to continue filming the story of the MV, and invited two little-known 18th-tier fresh meat in the circle to play.

Rong Xu invited the entire crew to have supper, and Director Yang took them a few times to take a group photo before letting Rong Xu leave.

Early the next morning, Rong Xu left City B by plane. The propaganda plan for "Black Clouds" has changed. Rong Xu rushed to S City ahead of schedule to meet with Liang Dao and Yu Siyu. Coincidentally, he met several acquaintances on the same flight.

Tang Menglan happened to be shooting a modern workplace film, and she was also going to S City. The two laughed and chatted for a while. When they got on the plane, before Tang Menglan had time to turn off the phone, she received a message—

[Fraud! Totally fraudulent! What about the little fresh pork? The two people who came today only have one face, what kind of shit acting is that, I'm so mad! Not aura at all! I don't want to be as good as the cute and beautiful sweetheart Xiao Rongrong, but you don't want to be too different. Meng Lan, Zhao Chuyun, she lied to me, she just asked these two actors to fool me, please help me teach her a lesson! ! !]

Rong Xu, who accidentally saw this content: "..."

Tang Menglan, who never expected her friend to send such a message: "..."

After a long time, Rong Xu smiled slightly: "Director Yang is really lively."

Tang Menglan smiled dryly and said, "...It's quite lively."

The two laughed twice, stopped smiling at the same time, and stopped talking.

-You are the sweetheart, Rongrong! ! !

The plane took off in such an awkward atmosphere. Rong Xu silently closed his eyes and recited in his heart "I didn't see anything, I didn't see anything, I didn't see anything". At the same time, the crew of "Black Clouds" also relaxed the second wave of luxurious lineup on their official blog, causing a sensation again.

There are still two weeks to be released, and the powerful publicity storm of "Black Cloud" is officially coming!

The author has something to say: Qin Chengcheng: ... (does not want to speak)

Fuwa: Be good, maybe you will have a role in the next chapter~
