Chapter 68 Dating and Filming
The focus of the music commercial MV is mainly on the song "Gray Avatar".
The company only gave us a production budget of over 200,000 yuan, so we can't expect it to be as exciting as a commercial blockbuster.
The script is nothing more than a cliché story about two netizens meeting in person, but eventually having a conflict and breaking up. The woman chooses to go abroad, leaving the man alone and sad.
This script is pretty standard. It's unlikely to become a hit, but there's nothing wrong with it either.
However, in the eyes of Zuo Ziyan, who had always planned to be admitted to a prestigious school and also study abroad, it seemed that Fan Wumian's asking her to accompany him to shoot a commercial today had some other meaning.
She always felt that this song and the MV plot were more than a little targeted.
It’s no wonder that Zuo Ziyan would think too much. Everyone thinks that these new songs whose origins cannot be found were written by Fan Wumian himself.
Maybe it was out of guilt for not being able to make a long-term commitment to him.
After sitting in the cafe for a while, Zuo Ziyan took the initiative to suggest going to the top of Victoria Peak. The two of them strolled along the mountain trails and arrived at the observation deck just as it got dark to overlook the night view of the city.
Fan Wumian just thought that she wanted to relax and it was a rare date alone, so of course there was nothing to complain about.
Although he would rather go home earlier and contact a design company to make an album cover to be used on the album released by Yaomei Culture, the delay would not be a problem at all.
We chatted during the walk and the topics were varied.
Although in the eyes of others, the two of them are not a good match, it's like a pig eating a cabbage.
But Fan Wumian was not worried about his future, so there was no need for him to be restrained during their time together. It was true that he envied Zuo Ziyan's family's wealth, but he was not obsessed with it.
After all, even if he only made an album of all the pop songs he knew and released it, he would have a chance to become a "god" in the Chinese music scene.
It is already pretty good for other singers to have a few representative works, but Fan Wumian may have dozens or even hundreds of representative works.
When today's fans grow up and have the ability to pay for his concerts, he will be able to live a comfortable life just by holding concerts.
The songs I recorded recently are like “long-term meal tickets”.
At this moment.
Lying on the observation deck fence made of tempered glass, Zuo Ziyan turned her head to look at Fan Wumian and asked curiously, "Why do you like to eat from the bowl and look at the pot?"
Fan Wumian was shocked.
I thought the news that he had been getting a little close to Zhuang Muxi recently had reached Zuo Ziyan's ears.
Followed by.
He heard the school beauty Zuo add:
"You are so talented in singing, but you are always thinking about making movies. Just now, when we were hiking together, you said that you have been working hard to make money recently in preparation for your movie. I am a little worried that it will all go to waste, and I am afraid that you will not be able to bear the stimulation."
Hearing this, countless old memories came to his mind and almost made Fan Wumian EMO.
He did not give a direct answer, but only said:
"Some time ago, I met a middle-aged man who graduated from Beijing Film Academy. He said that the directing department of Beijing Film Academy only admits a dozen candidates every year, and he is one of them."
"After graduation, some of my classmates successfully changed careers and became well-known actors. Some of my classmates became famous at a young age and raised investment in their twenties, and the movies they made were box office hits. Some people changed careers in despair and went to open an inn in a scenic spot, or went to work at a local TV station."
"He worked hard in various crews and waited for many years, just wanting a chance to prove himself and realize his dream. Unfortunately, when he is middle-aged, he will be laughed at if he talks about his dream again, so he just goes with the flow and muddles through day after day."
"He has been waiting for so many years but it has not come true. Do you think I should give it a try since I have the opportunity now and I am still so young?"
The evening breeze ruffled Zuo Ziyan's hair.
The ends of the hair hit Fan Wumian's face and it was quite painful.
Since she was born, Zuo Ziyan has been pampered. With her family background and personal conditions, it is easy for her to be surrounded by the kindness of the whole world, and she does not have many real worries.
Put yourself in the perspective of a bystander.
She just thought that it would be safest for Fan Wumian to keep moving forward on the path of being a singer, because there were not many people who possessed two specialties at the same time. If one took a big step, he would easily run into obstacles and take a detour. But Fan Wumian had obviously made a decision, so she stopped trying to persuade him. She looked at the ships with lights on in the Victoria Harbor and sighed:
"I envy those of you who have dreams. I just want to get into a good school. I don't know what to do beyond that. I'll probably go home and help my parents manage the business. Every day is boring, so my mom likes playing mahjong so much."
If Fan Wumian hadn't seen that she was really upset about this, he would have thought this was Versailles.
After drinking the mineral water in his hand, he comforted her:
"Landlady, this is the dream of many people. When you go to college, you still have time to think about it slowly. It's not bad to start your own business."
Zuo Ziyan immediately smiled and said:
"Don't let my dad hear you saying this, he will beat you to death."
"When I was very young, he told me that our family had more money than we could spend on food and drink, but if we used the money to start a business, we would easily go bankrupt and become poor."
"But he is also investing, which is really annoying. He always treats me like a little girl who has not grown up. It's really annoying."
Some wealthy families in Hong Kong have been rich for many years.
Making money is something that ordinary people should worry about, but these wealthy families are more concerned about how to pass on their wealth safely.
Fan Wumian agreed:
"Your father is really smart. No wonder he trained you to be so outstanding. What is he investing in recently?"
She casually explained:
"It's just a building. Last year, I partnered with a friend to acquire a piece of land and planned to build a 37-story office building. Construction has just started."
----------
The filming location of the music commercial MV was arranged near Tsim Sha Tsui.
The next day, around 8 o'clock in the morning.
Fan Wumian walked over by himself and entered a photography studio with a very atmospheric decoration. Zuo Ziyan came soon after he arrived.
The two of them put on makeup and changed their clothes, then went to separate locations for filming.
Fan Wumian took a car ride for a while and was taken to a luxurious apartment.
The content of the filming is probably about making a cup of tea, holding the cup, then sitting in front of the computer, opening QQ to chat with the online love partner, and making an appointment for an offline meeting place.
Almost no acting is required, at most he just needs to smile with love in his eyes. When the camera is pointed at him, he has already entered a familiar working state.
In the past, when he was on the crew, he often had to help the actors explain the scripts and direct the plays, and over time he became an expert himself.
I took two shots in a row and passed this one directly.
Change into a sweater and continue shooting, and also put on black-framed glasses to represent changes in time.
Slightly change the apartment setting, and shoot the scene in the script in advance where the two people break up, the avatars turn gray, and the chat history is forever frozen at the sentence "Well, this time it's really goodbye."
When I saw Zuo Ziyan again, it was already past 11 o'clock in the morning.
After filming the scene where they met in person after an online romance, they happened to have lunch in a western restaurant, and then went for a walk on the beach hand in hand.
Seeing that Zuo Ziyan was a little nervous, Fan Wumian joked:
"It's rare. Who would have thought that the first time we held hands would be during filming. If I had known, I would have begged the director to add a kissing scene yesterday."
Zuo Ziyan smiled happily after hearing this and replied, "Then guess, does he listen to you or me?"
Seeing her smug look, Fan Wumian said again:
"I feel that just walking hand in hand is too boring and the picture is not flexible and vivid enough. I want to devote myself to art and chase me."
"What are you chasing?"
Just as Zuo Ziyan finished asking, she found that Fan Wumian suddenly lowered his head, pecked her on the face, and then ran away with a smile.
This is not in the script.
She was frightened, and with the determination to beat Fan Wumian to death today, Zuo Ziyan really ran after him.
