Chapter 376 I Want to Make a TV Series

"Lighting OK!"

"Radio OK!"

"Photography OK!"

"Get ready..." Li Qian took a deep breath, then let it out slowly, and then said loudly, "Start!"

"Crack!" As soon as the board was hit, the camera was already rolling.

The lighting was soft and beautiful. Liao Liao was wearing a small suit, with long hair fluttering and delicate eyebrows and eyes.

Her eyes seemed lifeless and energetic, staring at the target on the side of the camera with a little confusion, while the camera accurately captured the melancholy temperament revealed on her body.

She sang slowly: "I have a flower, planted in my heart, budding and waiting to be released. Morning and evening, I am eagerly waiting for someone with a heart to fall into the dream..."

In fact, her expression is a little bit wrong, too melancholy, almost resentful, not to mention that it will not fit the emotional tone of the song "Women's Flower", and it is in line with Liao Liao's long-standing The image is also very incongruous, so this article will definitely be invalidated——when she was talking about the play and the request, she still performed quite well, and I don't know what happened. At the beginning, she On the contrary, I immediately lost my tune.

However, Li Qian still shouted decisively, "Crack! It's over!"

Suddenly there was a burst of applause.

Even Liao Liao himself applauded like everyone around him.

During the summer vacation, there are as many as 30 or 40 songs MVs to be shot by Minghu Culture. Today is just the beginning, and it is not too important. But today, especially the importance of this shot just now, is that This is the first shot Li Qian took after picking up the guide tube!

Li Qian directed, Jin Han took the shot himself, Yu Bojun, Cao Zhan, Chu Bingbing, Wang Jinglu, Wang Jingxue, Xie Bing, Sun Ruoxuan, Zhou Mo, Qi Jie, Sun Meimei, Zou Wenhuai and others were all present to witness the birth of this shot.

However, those who know how to do it, especially Jin Han, who took the shot himself, of course know that this shot is already blind. However, this is Li Qian's first shot after all, so even if he is blind, he still has to shout "Pass".

But after applauding, he handed over the camera, walked over to give Li Qian a high-five, but still smiled and said: "Not bad, looks decent! It's just..."

After a pause, he glanced at a large group of people over there, especially the group of women soldiers, and couldn't help laughing: "Shall I help you deal with this first, and you go and get rid of the few in your house first? "

Li Qian turned his head and glanced over there, smiled and shook his head, "I can't fight!"

Then, ignoring Yu Bojun, Wang Jinglu, Xie Bing, and Zhou Mo over there, he directly beckoned Liao Liao over and asked, "What's wrong? How you felt just now..."

Liao Liao shrugged with a smile, interrupted him before he finished speaking, and said: "I understand, I understand, in fact, I think it should be fine, but I don't know why, when I thought it was your director, I would Unknowingly, I was a little nervous…”

Li Qian looked at her helplessly, "I'm the newcomer, okay? I'm the one who is nervous, okay?"

Liao Liao raised his hands as if begging for mercy, "Okay, okay, okay, one more, I promise I won't make a mistake!"

Li Qian nodded, "Then find out how you feel!" While speaking, he shouted to the audience: "Every department is ready!"

"Lighting OK!"

"Radio OK!"

"Photography OK!"

Li Qian raised his arms and was about to shout, but only heard a "puchi", and Liao Liao actually laughed.

Then she hurriedly raised her hand apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I couldn't hold back..."

Seeing Li Qian standing there with his hips akimbo, she couldn't help but smiled again, and then said with great guilt: "I just... just saw your director, and I feel so weird!"

For an actor, this is of course a very unprofessional live performance, but Liao Liao is not a professional actor in the first place, not to mention that this is Li Qian's first time in charge of directing, even if he has a temper, he can't lose his temper.

So, he didn't speak, just stood there, looking at Liao Liao calmly.

In fact, Liao Liao laughed, and the group of onlookers outside, especially the Women's Army, also found it strange and awkward, and many of them also laughed softly.

But soon, Liao Liao couldn't laugh anymore.

Because although Li Qian's face is calm, it is easy to feel that Li Qian is not very happy when he is familiar with them. director!

His temper is like this, although his usual words have become less and less in the past two years, but he usually doesn't get annoyed when acquaintances make jokes about him, let alone Liao Liao. But when it comes to work, for him, he has to be serious, so even Liao Liao dare not joke with him at work.

So, Liao Liao quickly put away the smile on his face, and apologized seriously, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll adjust it right away, just give me a minute!"

Li Qian didn't say anything, just nodded, and then sat back behind the monitor.

Unknowingly, the smiles on the faces of the bystanders gradually disappeared.

Li Qian picked up the small speaker in his hand and shouted: "Everyone is paying attention, there is another shot from just now! All departments are preparing..."

After a while, Liao Liao seemed to have adjusted himself, turned his head and made an "OK" gesture to Li Qian, Jin Han exchanged a look with Li Qian, and then looked at the set——

"Lighting OK!"

"Radio OK!"

"Photography OK!"

"ready, go!"

The camera started to rotate immediately, and the staff slapped the board. This time, Liao Liao in front of the camera really performed much better than before. Singers are not so strict when shooting MVs, and Liao Liao is not lacking. The experience of filming MV, as long as the attitude is correct, of course it is not difficult.

So, for the second time, she sang slowly: "I have a flower, which is planted in my heart, and it is ready to be released. Morning and evening, I am eagerly waiting for someone with a heart to fall into the dream... "

"Crack! It's over!"

…………

After taking four shots in a row, it took more than half an hour before Li Qian called for a break, got up and walked over to Yu Bojun and the others. After being far away, Yu Bojun smiled and applauded him, and when he walked over, he said, "That's right, it's the first time you look so decent, you really deserve to be a professional film student!"

I didn't bother to think whether he was praising or teasing, so I turned around and looked at Qi Jie and Wang Jinglu, and said with a smile, "I said, if you are watching the fun, you should leave first?"

"cut!"

"Just like whoever thinks it seems, we have long wanted to leave, okay?"

"Yes, I was afraid that you would be embarrassed, so I held back and didn't leave!"

Everyone couldn't help complaining, the leaders were Chu Bingbing and Sun Meimei, Yu Bojun and Cao Zhan all laughed loudly.

Today is the first time in history that Liao Liao, Zhou Mo, Wang Jinglu, and Xie Bing appeared together at the same time. Therefore, outsiders may not understand, but Yu Bojun and Cao Zhan have been holding back their laughter for a long time. Look at the joke.

However, I have to say that Li Qian managed to avoid the next embarrassment by driving people out so lightly.

And everyone was very sensible, Zhou Mo left first, Qi Jie, Sun Meimei, Zou Wenhuai and Wang Jinglu also left later, Xie Bing, Wang Jingxue and Sun Ruoxuan also followed them.

In the end, only Yu Bojun, Cao Zhan, and Chu Bingbing remained, and Chu Bingbing had a teasing expression on his face, "I said, there will probably be more and more scenes like this in the future, you can't Are you sending them off like this?"

Li Qian shrugged his shoulders, put on an attitude of treating everyone equally, and said, "I'm not entertaining you anymore, feel free!" Then he turned his head and walked back to the monitor. Chu Bingbing couldn't help but "cut" again.

…………

Liao Liao's "Grateful Heart" last year, and He Runqing's "Dream Chaser" last year, the MVs of the two albums were all outsourced to Jin Han to shoot and produce. The response afterwards was also very good - Jin Han's level is definitely overkill for shooting a MV.

This year, Liao Liao's "Women's Flower", He Runqing's "The Price of Love", Rose Power's "super-star", and the three title songs in each of the three newcomers' albums are all going to shoot MVs. It's almost forty. Even now, many fans are strongly demanding on the Internet that the MV for "Fake Monk" by the Four Beauties should also be released. Qi Jie is very excited. If that album is also released, it will have nearly 50 songs.

Among the nearly 50 MVs, Li Qian only planned to write three to practice his skills, and left the rest to Jin Han, who himself acted as the assistant director, observing and learning from the sidelines——In the previous life Although he has not directed any works independently, the assistant director has done many times, and he has also independently directed some not-so-important shoots. After several years of detailed preparation and professional study at Suncheon Film Academy, he believes that he can already start to direct something independently.

It's just that before he actually does it, he needs to leave people with the impression that he has "had a little experience". That's why he came to direct the MV, but he didn't expect to be able to make it real by directing these three MVs. Accumulated too much experience.

Jin Han has made a few films in the industry over the years, although they haven't sold much, and he rushed to the street to avoid them, but after all, he still pulled together a small team with considerable technical strength. During the MVs of the two albums, he was pulled over to start filming, earning a lot of quick money, and now the MVs are going to start shooting again, of course Li Qian directly borrowed his team.

Of course, apart from Jin Han's crew, since "Love in Scallion" is in the later stage, most of Yu Bojun's usual crew are idle, and he has easily pulled over the job. Together with his good buddies at Suncheon Film Academy, such a slightly bloated filming team was established.

But fortunately, although it was a bit bloated, Jin Han personally served as the producer on the set and helped Li Qian hold the lineup. Therefore, once the filming entered the correct rhythm, it went quite smoothly.

In just one and a half days, all the materials needed for the MV of "Women's Flower" have been completed.

Then it was the turn of Rose Power's "super-star", which was even better than "Women's Flower", because they have choreography, and they only need to cut certain scenes and stories into the dance, and it's OK!

Immediately afterwards, He Runqing returned to Shuntian Mansion after finishing the first round of publicity. Li Qian and Jin Han immediately split up their respective work. With the rest of the people, He Runqing filmed the MV of "The Price of Love" - ​​the MV of three songs. Although Li Qian was only the first director, it only took four days to win all of them. Then, throw everyone and all the team to Jin Han, and let him continue to lead the team to shoot one by one, while Li Qian himself ran to cut out the several MVs that had been filmed.

(Insert here, please understand, I really dare not write some paragraphs, even though I feel that the writing is very obscure, but I have been warned many times, so, there should be a paragraph in the middle, there is no That's it, you can just take a picture of your heart, and make up your mind as you like.)

At half past nine, in the bedroom.

After taking a shower, Wang Jinglu pushed the door in wearing a bath towel, but she smelled a smell as soon as she came in. When she turned her head and saw that Li Qian was smoking, she couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and asked, "Why are you smoking again?"

Li Qian took a long puff of cigarette, stifled the cigarette butt in his hand with his backhand, and lay down with his head in his hands, "Just a cigarette afterwards!"

Wang Jinglu couldn't help giving him a blank look when he heard the words.

Opening the closet to find a new pair of pajamas, she turned her back to Li Qian and untied the bath towel and put on the pajamas. Li Qian caught a glimpse of it inadvertently, and couldn't help but said, "It's so hot, why do you keep covering it?"

Wang Jinglu ignored him, put on her clothes, and then sat down on the edge of the bed. Seeing that his hand was about to come in, she quickly pushed it away, "Don't touch me again today, or I will really move!" Can't even move."

Li Qian lowered his hands helplessly, and resumed the posture of resting his hands under his head.

Wang Jinglu looked at him, "Aside from that, you're not interested in anything else, are you?"

Li Qian raised his head to look at her in surprise, smiled, and put his arms around her, "What about you? Don't want to?"

Wang Jinglu pushed him, smiled and said angrily: "Usually everything is fine, but when I get on the bed, I become a hooligan!"

Li Qian smiled, and kissed her on the chest, which caused her to laugh and annoy, then turned around and lay down again, with a slightly dazed look in his eyes. Then, he turned sideways and grabbed the stack of papers on the bedside table.

It was a typed script, quite thick.

Li Qian took a deep breath and opened it again.

As the bedside person, Wang Jinglu had already noticed Li Qian's absent-mindedness since the evening, seeing him picking up the script that he had read countless times, after thinking about it, she grabbed it for him.

"Shall I chat with you?"

Li Qian looked up at her in surprise, then smiled and said, "Okay, what do you want to talk about?"

Wang Jinglu also smiled and said, "It's not me, it's you. What do you want to talk about?"

Li Qian opened his mouth slightly, and the two looked at each other for a moment, Li Qian smiled and looked away.

After a while, Wang Jinglu asked: "Didn't the MV shoot go well? Are you not satisfied with the cut?"

Li Qian shook his head, "Everything is fine, there is nothing dissatisfied."

"Then why are you listless today, always distracted?"

Li Qian looked up at her, and said with a smile, "Did I lose my mind just now? I remember you kept saying 'I'm dying', 'I'm dying'! I was very focused just now..." I didn't finish speaking , she took a hit.

Wang Jinglu pouted, "Can't you be more serious?"

Li Qian spread his hands.

Wang Jinglu thought for a while, and asked, "Have you edited the MV?" Seeing Li Qian nodding, she asked again, "Haven't anyone seen it yet? Are you worried that your filming is not good?"

Li Qian thought for a while, then shook his head, "That's not true, it's just a few MVs, even if the filming is not good, how bad can it be!"

Wang Jinglu rolled her eyes when she heard the words, picked up the script in her hand, and shook it at Li Qian, "Then, because of this?"

Li Qian took a deep breath, looked at her for a moment, and said: "I haven't found someone to give a careful estimate. I have roughly calculated it myself. Even if I use the most economical method to shoot, try to shoot as few waste shots as possible and shorten the shooting as much as possible. Time, try to reduce going out to choose locations, and try to put most of the shots in the film and television city to shoot, but... at least 23 million. And, as long as there is a little waste, or some actors are paid a little higher One point, that's 30 million! Even 30 million can't beat it!"

Wang Jinglu looked at him, feeling the uneasiness in his heart, couldn't help but put the script on the bedside table, leaned over, held his face, looked at him with clear eyes, and asked: "You give the script to Brother Cao Yu and the others?" seen it already?"

Li Qian shook his head, "Not yet. In two days, when I finish processing these three MVs, I'll call them together to watch them. I'll show them to them then."

Wang Jinglu thought for a while, and said: "How about... just invest in this movie? Find someone you like, such as Brother Jin, let him direct, and you watch another movie?"

Li Qian shook his head with a smile, "How can I do that? I have been planning this drama for two or three years from the story, to the script, to the shooting. I won't give it to anyone. I will finish it myself!"

Wang Jinglu smiled, held his face and kissed him, and said with a smile: "Then it's over, since you want to do it, then do it, this is your dream! The worst thing is to lose it, if you become a pauper It's even better, I'll support you then!"

"Yo!" Li Qian looked at her amusedly, "You raise me?"

Wang Jinglu raised her head proudly, "Of course, I recently signed two contracts in one go, worth more than one million in total! No problem raising you!"

Li Qian laughed, "Okay, okay, if I really want to lose everything, I'll let you support me!"

Wang Jinglu also smiled.

Joking aside, she knew what Li Qian was worried about, so she said again, "Even if the 30 million is lost, it's really nothing, at worst, you can go back and make two more albums for Sister Liao and the others!"

Li Qian smiled and nodded upon hearing this.

"Yes, you can take on the show. Both Liao Liao and Zhou Mo can make money by making records. Besides, the 30 million is profit. If you really lose it, you can make it all over again!"

After all, after finishing talking, Li Qian still couldn't help sighing.

That's 30 million!

Although he has full confidence in himself, and even more in this story, he still can't help but struggle a bit before making a move—his biggest wish in his previous life was to get an investment of 8 million yuan. It's just a small-budget online drama, but it has never attracted investment. Now suddenly want to spend 30 million to smash a TV series, the feeling is really full of agitation and anxiety.

But soon, he turned his head to look at the script on the bedside table that he had read countless times by himself, and secretly said to himself in his heart: "It will definitely work! This play will definitely work, and so will I." OK!"

As he thought about it, his eyes gradually became firmer.

Turning his head to look at Wang Jinglu, he said, "I will definitely do it!"

Wang Jinglu smiled and held his hand, "I also believe you can do it!"

After finishing speaking, the two smiled knowingly.

…………

"Let's go, let's go, people always learn to grow up by themselves,

Let's go, let's go, life will inevitably experience pain and struggle,

Go, go, find a home for your heart,

Also wept sadly,

I was also heartbroken,

This is the price of love. "

On the screen, the light and shadow fluctuated, and He Runqing's whole body was filled with a touch of sadness in warmth.

One of the most important principles in the MV shooting standards is executed very carefully: the light must be bright, and the singer must be beautiful!

In short, unlike movies and TV dramas that need to convey complex stories, characters, and emotions through the lens and screen, the MV screen basically has one requirement, that is, the singer must be beautifully photographed! If on this basis, the emotion that this song needs to be expressed can be expressed, then it will be a proper work!

And this is also an important reason why Jin Han's movies always hit the street because the pictures are too complicated and the story is too obscure, but the MVs are unanimously praised by fans: the theme of the MV In itself, there is no room for Jin Han to show off his skills at all. All he can show off in the MV is the exquisite picture!

As the song came to an end, Cao Zhan in the viewing room couldn't help turning his head and muttering to Yu Bojun: Not bad!

Yu Bojun smiled and nodded.

"The Price of Love" ended, and the picture faded to black.

Li Qian had already got up and prepared a small copy, and when the playback stopped, he immediately replaced the next MV.

Unlike the previous two songs that have already been released, the next song is still an absolute secret at the moment, and it is a commercial secret worth tens of millions, so it is conceivable that from the very beginning, the MV of this song is It is not suitable for broadcasting in front of many people, and even when filming, all the people involved in the filming signed a non-disclosure agreement.

And in the small auditorium at the moment, there were indeed only a few people sitting there.

Li Qian, Qi Jie, Cao Zhan, Yu Bojun, Xie Bing, Wang Jingxue, Sun Ruoxuan.

As soon as the screen was opened, the explosive music followed.

Yu Bojun's attention was still on the picture, but Cao Zhan was directly attracted by the music and took all his attention away.

On the screen, the three girls are beautifully dressed, singing and dancing vigorously, which is too beautiful to behold.

Once again, the director Li Qian has maximized the effect of highlighting and shaping singers, and the use of high-quality movie-grade cameras and movie-grade film at no expense has also made the picture quality far exceed the clear standard of ordinary MVs, thus Let the light shine brighter and the beautiful more beautiful.

Amidst the vigorous singing and dancing, the MV ended and the screen went completely dark.

After a while, Li Qian turned on the light.

He leaned on the back of the chair, looked at several people in the room, and asked with a smile, "How is it? Can you give me some comments?"

Cao Zhan was the first to speak, but he asked, "Have their albums been finished yet? Give me a copy first!"

Li Qian nodded and said, "I'll give it to you later! Tell me how I did in these three sections first?"

Cao Zhan thought for a while, and said: "The song is definitely no problem. The route matches the images of the three of them, and the five elements and my elements in the past. It's too close. There's nothing to say about the fire! MV, what's with this thing? Evaluable? Oh... If I have to say it, I think the shots are beautiful, and your editing... is not bad either, basically showing the tension that the melody of the song should have!"

Yu Bojun couldn't hold it in for a long time, and he laughed "hehe".

When Cao Zhan finished speaking, he smiled and said, "Old Cao's mouth is worse than mine!" After he finished speaking, he thought for a while and said, "The MV is shot like this, so I will just say: You have studied photography in college for the past two years. , I really didn’t learn in vain, I look decent!” Then I couldn’t help asking: “I’ll start the next play later, you really don’t want to give me a hand?”

Li Qian smiled and said nothing, but turned to look at Qi Jie.

Qi Jie spread his hand, "Don't ask me, I'm not a technical school, I'm not an artist! I'm just a businessman! As long as you think it's OK, then I'll be responsible for signing contracts with people, producing it, and then distribution, and start Sell! Uh...well, I think it's pretty good, the picture is beautiful, and the three of them are even more beautiful...other, what else?"

Li Qian smiled helplessly and shook his head.

At this time, Sun Ruoxuan has already anxiously raised her hand, but Li Qian waved her hand, "Okay, I don't want flattery!"

Sun Ruoxuan was stunned for a moment, and unexpectedly said "Oh" very cooperatively, and smiled sweetly, "Then I won't say more." After she finished speaking, she laughed first, and Xie Bing and Qi Jie also laughed afterward. stand up. Even Wang Jingxue made the two of them purse their lips into a smile after saying this.

Li Qian patted the back of the chair and said, "Okay, then let's do this, each go about his own business!"

So everyone talked and laughed and got up and left one after another. Before leaving, Xie Bing gave Li Qian a warm look, and Li Qian also beckoned her to stop - originally Li Qian was going to accompany her after cutting the MV. I went to Jinan to go to the hospital for an examination, but two days ago, her menstrual cycle, which was more than ten days late, suddenly came unexpectedly. After consulting a doctor, the other party thought it was an endocrine disorder caused by excessive dieting and excessive dance training.

After the others had left, Li Qian whispered to Xie Bing to go to his office to make tea first, and then he called Cao Zhan and Yu Bojun to drink tea in his office.

When the three of them entered the office, Xie Bing's tea came out just in time. She poured three cups of tea, and she obediently delivered them to Cao Zhan and Yu Bojun one by one, and obediently called "Brother Cao" and "Brother Yu".

Both Cao Zhan and Yu Bojun took the tea, and Xie Bing got up to leave.

Why did Xie Bing come over to make the pot of tea, and handed the tea to his hand, Xie Bing didn't ask, Li Qian didn't say, Cao Zhan and Yu Bojun knew it, everyone was silent.

After Xie Bing left, Li Qian got up and took the two printed scripts and handed them over, saying, "I want to make a TV series."
