There was hardly any rest time, and they practiced with the master tape for three hours over and over again before they could enter the next stage unsatisfactorily.
Xin Nanyi gave them a twenty-minute rest.
While drinking the milk that Xin Nanyi ordered, Q&P lay on the ground unsteadily to rest. Their clothes seemed to have been soaked in a downpour. The broken hair on the forehead was also wet with sweat, sticking to the face, sticky and uncomfortably sticky.
Xin Nanyi threw a towel to each of them and said, "Wipe your sweat, otherwise you will lose more than you gain if you catch a cold."
Q&P wiped his sweat obediently.
Xin Nanyi said: "In the future, you will get a few more sets of practice clothes from the dormitory before practice, and go to the small room to change when one gets wet." He pointed to the small door in the corner and said.
After the rest time, Xin Nanyi asked them to start training directly with the accompaniment.
Xin Nanyi listened to the original song with headphones while checking their performance, and it was indeed full of loopholes. In desperation, he recorded their contact video completely during Q&P practice. Let them check and correct by themselves after finishing the whole practice.
It was almost eleven o'clock when Xin Nanyi called the drowsy Wang Xiaoming and told him to drive Q&P back to the dormitory.
The next day's training was repeated like this, first training with the original song, and then training with the accompaniment.
A week later, the strength of Q&P has been greatly improved. After they got used to these two training methods, Xin Nanyi came up with new tricks
Xin Nanyi introduced in this way: "You first sing and dance to the original song, and then sing and dance to this double speed original song." Xin Nan raised another CD in his hand.
In less than a month, Xin Nanyi had to sharpen them into the sharpest swords. They were both newcomers and not newcomers, and it was difficult to position them properly, so they could only rely on their strength and not give outsiders the slightest chance to criticize them.
After practicing at double speed, there are still random dances, which still need to be practiced.
Xin Nan just watched them practice for a week before handing over the character to Qin Wenshu and Shen Che. As for himself, it's time to worry about shooting the MV.
Relying on the memory of his previous life, he silently wrote down the phone number of a MV director who had worked with him many times. But he was having trouble dialing the number. How was he supposed to explain how he got the number
After thinking about it, Xin Nanyi still planned to use his previous identity.
After the call was connected, a deep male voice came from inside: "Hi, hello, who is it?"
"Director Lu, my name is Xin Nanyi, and I'm the manager of a girl group."
There was silence on the other side of the phone, and then said: "I don't remember you working with me, how did you know my phone number?"
"Director Lu, this phone number was given to me by a deceased friend of mine."
There was another silence on the phone, and Xin Nanyi could imagine the man frowning and thinking.
"My old friend is called Ji Bu, and he introduced you to me."
Lu Yiyang's heart was shocked, and he said to himself: It really is him.
He smiled wryly and said, "I didn't expect him to remember me in there, I thought he forgot me after he went in to be happy!"
As soon as Xin Nan heard the deep embarrassment after he made a joke, he also said, "Yes! He has gone to a more free and clean place to enjoy himself now!"
"Mr. Xin, since he is willing to give you his phone number, it means that you are his important friend. If you have anything to do, just talk about it!"
"Okay, then I'll be straight. I just mentioned that I am the manager of a girl group. My girl group is going to release a new album recently, so I plan to invite you to direct the MV of this album."
"That's it! Are you in a hurry?"
"It's in a hurry. I will be back on the 15th of next month."
"... It's quite rushed, but it happens that my team is on vacation now, so I can get them together to finish the MV of this album first."
Lu Yiyang has a dedicated team for MV shooting, which can completely handle all the content of MV production, including MV content design, scene layout, lighting, editing, etc.
Xin Nanyi was a little hesitant: "You are on vacation, isn't this inappropriate?"
"No, they've been filming MVs for male singers throughout this year. They won't refuse a girl group after all."
Xin Nanyi: "..."
The next day, the two made an appointment to meet, signed a contract and discussed some matters related to the MV.
When Lu Yiyang saw Xin Nanyi for the first time, he saw the shadow of his old friend Ji Bu in him, and the calm and gentle temperament seemed to come from the same person. If Lu Yiyang hadn't been a staunch communist party member and a firm believer in the materialism of Marxist philosophy, he would have thought that Ji Bu had returned from the dead.
Or did Ji Bu undergo plastic surgery to become Mr. Xin and live anew? Lu Yiyang shook his head, shaking off the absurd thoughts in his mind. Ji Bu's body was brought back by him and He Xuanlong and sent to the crematorium for cremation, so how could it be possible that he was still alive
"Mr. Lu," Ji Bu ordered a cup of Blue Mountain Coffee and put the menu on it: "I also want to thank Mr. Lu for signing the contract so happily!"
Lu Yiyang came back to his senses, and said: "I don't like to procrastinate. Now that I have decided to cooperate with you, I should sign the contract neatly, so that we won't waste each other's time."
Xin Nanyi curled the corners of his mouth contentedly, while Lu Yiyang pretended to glance at him casually, and made a stroke of the word "正" in his heart, which looked like a smile.
But when the waiter brought the Blue Mountain coffee, Lu Yiyang wiped the brush off when he brought the coffee to his mouth. Ji Bu never drank Blue Mountain coffee, he thought it had a sour taste .
"Director Lu," Xin Nanyi naturally knew that he was secretly observing him, but he didn't expose it: "Have you heard the song demo I sent you? I don't know how you feel about it."
Lu Yiyang suppressed the messy thoughts in his heart and began to focus on work: "The style of those song demos is very special, which is different from most idol songs on the market. I think the content of this album can be mysterious. The fashion line, just like the name of your girl group Q&P, is to be a queen who overlooks all beings and a princess who is loved by all."
Xin Nan was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled. His old friend's mind was still as sensitive and delicate as before, and he guessed the meaning of Q&P's name before he even said it.
"So have you decided on a theme?"
"People from our team had a small meeting last night when they gathered together. According to the songs you sent and the photos of the girl group members, we think we can use the color tone and atmosphere of "Alice in Wonderland" and the atmosphere of the witch's assembly. Magic fantasy elements, and then shape the image of the members into gorgeous and noble mysterious nobles."
Xin Nan nodded. This is indeed a style that rarely appears in girl groups, and it is also very suitable for the style of the title song.
"So, we mind that Cody of Q&P mainly chooses the exaggerated, gorgeous and difficult-to-manage G family clothing when matching clothes for members. But if the budget does not allow, you can also choose clothes with similar styles as a substitute." After all, he is willing to spend on clothing Idol groups that spend that much money are extremely rare.
Xin Nan smiled wryly, he couldn't get around the "G family".
"Okay, I'll pay attention."
"As for this non-title song, which is more lyrical, we plan to take the route of apocalyptic desolation. It means that the scene of the MV is centered on the apocalypse with sparsely populated cities and deserted cities, and then let the members wear bright clothes and watch calmly. To create a stark contrast to the lonely city around you.”
Xin Nanyi nodded after listening to the themes of all the songs that needed to be shot in the MV. He didn't have any comments. It's best to leave these things to professional people. The ideas they put forward are both professional and thoughtful.
"Also, in the MV of the title song, we all have male protagonists, so you still need to find a handsome guy to fill this role."
"Naturally." He had already found it, and even if they didn't mention it, Xin Nanyi would bring it up.
After discussing the MV, Xin Nanyi took Cody to G's specialty store to buy clothes. Since he was choosing important stage and MV clothes, it was better to choose the best than the inferior ones.
The G family is an international high-end brand, and Xin Nanyi is already a regular customer there, but now that Xin Nanyi has lost weight, as if he has changed his face, the shopping guides there can no longer recognize him.
But the shopping guides of the G family are very well trained. Although Xin Nanyi and Cody Vivian are wearing ordinary-priced clothes, they have not received their "different perspective".
The shopping guide enthusiastically took them to the women's skirt area.
The decoration of G’s house is very gorgeous. There are only six sets of clothes for each theme, and often the clothes of that theme will occupy an entire showcase.
Because the clothes of the G family are expensive and difficult to manage, ordinary people will not come here to buy them.
Xin Nanyi and Vivian picked the five best-looking outfits out of the five themes, a total of 25 outfits, and only bought one or two limited sports cars of Xin Nan.
Vivian watched the boss swiping the money so happily, and said in her heart that she hugged the right golden thigh and followed the right person. She has been in the industry for ten years, and this is the first time she has seen her agent so generously give to her artists. buying clothes. The large string of numbers was swiped, and even the eyes did not blink.
Cody Vivian's studio and makeup artist Yumi's dressing room are next door to the Q&P practice room, which is also the site that Xin Nanyi snatched.
As soon as Xin Nanyi and the others moved the clothes to Vivian's studio, they called the Q&Ps who were practicing one by one to try on the clothes.
Xin Nan handed over a pair of large scissors to Vivian, and said boldly: "If you need to cut the hem of the skirt, cut it boldly."
Vivian's hand froze after taking the scissors, and she was also stunned when she was helping Yumi next to her, "Boss, all the scissors are cut is money!"
"Brother Nan, this is not appropriate!"
Xin Nan squeezed his chin and said, "It's okay not to cut it now, but it still needs to be cut after the MV is shot, otherwise it's not convenient to dance like those long skirts. These clothes will continue to be used as the stage after the MV is shot clothing use."
He didn't want to pay for a few more G's. Although he didn't show it on the face when he swiped the card, his heart throbbed with pain.
