Chapter 552

Paul and TJ can't figure out what Zhou Jingyi thinks, but what they can see is that Zhou Jingyi really helped Xiao Yao and sun Tingting rehearse the sweet duet these two days, and even helped them modify and improve some of Xiao Yao's designed movements, so as to make the dance better.

Two days later, the group arrived at Paul. They found a good shooting site ahead of time, and the MV of the song also started shooting smoothly.

This is a room that looks like an auditorium in a European palace. There are very delicate decorative patterns on the walls, simple and elegant wall lamps, and many prominent semicircular balconies on the two opposite walls. Under the terrace, there are curtains with small light bulbs. When the yellow light bulb lights up, the little lights on each curtain spell out a picture of a boy and a girl doing intimate actions together. Hanging a group of huge and gorgeous European style chandeliers on the ceiling, there are many murals.

The whole floor of the performance hall is covered with cyan carpets with elegant patterns. On the carpet in the center, a square with a side length of about six meters is made of wood floor. This smooth square wooden floor is the stage for two people to dance. Around the wooden stage, there are also some classical European Wooden sofas, chairs and tables. On the small table, there are antique European style table lamps.

When Xiao Yao and others arrived, the preparations for the scene were almost done. In addition to the obvious extra square wooden floor, a spotlight is also installed above each terrace, which is fixed under the syncline. Two rows of oval light spots are cast on both sides of the wooden floor. On the walls of two adjacent corners, two movable tracking lights are installed. There are three cameras at the scene, one of which is taken by the cameraman on his shoulder. One is set up on the slide rail car on one side of the wooden stage. The slide rail laid on the ground is arc-shaped, which can basically ensure that the camera on the slide rail car can adjust the shooting direction of about 150 degrees, while the third camera is set up on the scene Arm, ensure the shooting angle from top to bottom. As for audio equipment, it is also essential.

All the staff of the shooting team have also arrived. It just seems that the configuration of this team is not neat. It's understandable that there is no recording engineer in charge of on-site radio in shooting MV, but there are only cameramen, props engineers, lighting engineers, recording technicians and technicians operating rocker arm and slide car, no costume designers, no makeup artists, and most importantly, no director.

Naturally, Xiao Yao's assistant and personal make-up artist, Pei Minyi, came as a guest star. The work of costume designer and director was Xiao Yao himself. Yes, Xiao Yao wrote, directed and acted this MV by himself. He had the experience of shooting the short film "tuner". Now he is familiar with it.

After entering the shooting site, Xiao Yao called together the cameramen, lighting engineers and technicians who operated the rocker arm and slide rail car to explain his shooting plan to them. The three cameras shoot at the same time. When is the shooting angle of each camera, when to push the lens closer and when to pull it away. Xiao Yao has to explain to these people in detail how to adjust the brightness of the lighting, when to turn on the wall lamp, and how to turn on the tracking lamp.

After the shooting plan was explained clearly, Xiao Yao and sun Tingting went to change their clothes and make-up. As like as two peas shovel,

unexpected winner is basically dressed in a white shirt, black vest and black trousers. The shirt sleeves are on the arm, basically the same as the boss in the previous MV. The difference is that a loose necktie is found on the neck, but this dress is exactly the same as the last song on the stage with a spade guitar playing guitar. Sun Tingting's costume is more conservative than the female dancer in the original MV, but it looks as gentle and elegant as before. The light cyan yarn slanting one shoulder long skirt does not highlight sun Tingting's chest curve, but the light, soft and slightly transparent fabric of the lower body and the diagonal cutting of the skirt hem can also highlight sun Tingting's beautiful leg lines in the process of dancing.

At the beginning of shooting, Xiao Yao's recorded official version of music began to play in the audio. Compared with Xiao Yao's previous live music, although this version of music is still based on the music of electric guitar and drum, it greatly increases the proportion of piano sound, making the whole song less folk flavor, but more classical and elegant flavor, which matches the environment and the whole dance better.

The light of the scene dimmed down, and the slanting lines of the two tracking lights hit the wooden stage, forming two bright conical light columns. Xiao Yao and sun Tingting walk slowly to each other from the darkness on both sides of the stage with elegant modern dance steps. Starting from their figure walking into the light column, the light tracing lamp also begins to swing with their figure. When they slowly get close to each other, the elliptical light spots cast by the two light tracing lamps on the stage also slowly stack together, but the light spots are not completely different Coincidence, but on the stage to spell out a heart-shaped pattern.

At the beginning of the dance, Xiao Yao made a big change. They didn't have physical contact at the beginning, just like the original dance. Instead, they learned from the dancing scenes of diemeng and Elena in the previous life "Vampire Diaries", and danced a small section of the square dance "messolanzas". Each of them held out a palm to face each other, but they didn't touch each other, just they were walking and spinning In the process of turning, the deep look in each other's eyes has already made the bystanders who are looking at the monitor feel sweet.The whole dance is still a modern dance, not a social dance, so Xiao Yao and sun Tingting don't turn three and a half times with their right hand, left hand, and then their hands opposite but not touching each other as they did in previous American dramas. They just stretch out their right hand for a turn. Sun Tingting puts down her arm, turns around and makes a move to leave. Xiao Yao grabs sun Tingting and hangs down As soon as she pulled her wrist inward, sun Tingting jumped into Xiao Yao's arms with the rotation of modern dance.

After lifting her head from Xiao Yao's arms, sun Tingting takes the initiative to raise Xiao Yao's hand, puts her right palm in Xiao Yao's hand heart, gently picks Xiao Yao's chin with her left hand, and pulls up Xiao Yao's head, who is shy and embarrassed to lower her head. The two people's eyes meet again.

"Ha ~" looking at Xiao Yao's coy appearance in the close-up of the monitor, several of the onlookers couldn't help laughing. It seems that no one has ever seen such Xiao Yao. Fortunately, there is no live radio for the shooting of this MV. The laughter of several people is not loud. As long as there is no interference with the performance and dancing mood of the two actors on the scene, there will be no problem.

The next dance moves are almost the same as those in the original MV of the previous life. Several groups of onlookers, such as Paul, Fang still and Mei fang, have seen it many times during the rehearsal in the past two days. However, in such a scene, with the effect of lighting and music, we all think it's a sweet dance.

In addition to the touching movements of two people, there are also many difficult professional movements. However, the more difficult movements are basically those of sun Tingting, a female dancer. The difficulty of Xiao Yao's movements is only reflected in the strength, accuracy and cooperation with sun Tingting. Therefore, it is sun Tingting, the female dancer, rather than Xiao Yao, who makes the whole dance more brilliant.

However, when both of them are on the floor, sun Tingting's feet pass through Xiao Yao's armpit. Xiao Yao grabs sun Tingting's left ankle with his left hand and pulls it to his arms, which makes sun Tingting's left leg stretch straight above the slant. At the same time, his right hand holds the outside of sun Tingting's curved right leg thigh to make a plucking action. When sun Tingting's legs are used to simulate the fun action of playing guitar, people watch The focus is inevitably focused on Xiao Yao's body, with a smile of "convincing you". In the design of dance movements, the appearance of playing guitar should be added. This kind of choreography is not acceptable to others.

In the end, when the two people lay side by side on the floor, and then sun Tingting leaned on Xiao Yao's chest, the top-down lens of the camera on the rocker arm could see that the two spotlights moved a little bit, and once again spelled out a heart-shaped light spot pattern on the floor, placing the two people lying in the center of the heart-shaped light spot. All the people watching have the impulse to turn off all the other lights and leave them alone.

At the end of the dance, Xiao Yao lay on the floor for a little longer. He not only took a break, but also took some time to extricate himself from the emotion of the dance. Then he stood up and stood in front of the monitor to watch the playback of the shots taken by several cameras.

This MV with dance as the content is basically long shot, and occasionally several camera shots are switched only because of the angle. So when shooting, Xiao Yao and sun Tingting dance the whole dance in one breath, and arrange three cameras to use the long shot of nearly five minutes from beginning to end It's all done. When a dance is finished, watch the playback to judge the shooting effect.

Whether it's shooting a movie, TV or MV, there are very few shots that can be shot at a time, not to mention the long shot of nearly five minutes. Therefore, when watching the playback, Xiao Yao inevitably found some problems. Some of them are the movement defects in their dance, some of them are the lighting control of the Lightman and the coordination of the dance, and some of them are the shooting angle and lens movement of the cameraman. Xiao Yao pointed out all these problems and recorded them. He discussed them with the cameraman and the lighting engineer and worked out ways to improve them. Then he was ready to start shooting and recording for the second time.

The dance is nearly five minutes long from the beginning to the end. It takes Xiao Yao about a quarter of an hour to watch all the three cameras. Together with the discussion time, it takes about half an hour. Sun Tingting has been sitting on the wooden sofa beside her for a rest this time. Although Xiao Yao seems busy watching the replay to discuss the shooting methods, he is also resting physically. Their physical strength is very good, so it's not a problem to start dancing for the second time immediately.

Although the photographers and lighters TJ and Paul hired for Xiao Yao are not well-known, their own technology and experience are still excellent, which is the first-class level in the industry in the United States. However, Xiao Yao's requirements for MV shooting materials are also very high, and the difficulty of shooting with a five minute long lens is also a little high, so the dance element of this MV is very important However, Xiao Yao and sun Tingting repeatedly danced for ten times, and a group of people also filmed for a whole day, only then they could barely meet Xiao Yao's expected quality requirements.

The reason why it is barely achieved is that even if the tenth time is taken, the pictures taken by the three cameras are not flawless and perfect from beginning to end, but the shooting materials of the first nine times have not been deleted by Xiao Yao. With these ten pieces of dance picture materials, Xiao Yao, who has a strong memory, is confident that he can cut and splice these ten pieces of materials again through later editing It's enough for Xiao Yao, who aims to make a song MV.Xiao Yao is still planning to finish the editing and soundtrack of the MV by himself, but it's definitely not done on the spot. Instead, he packed the materials and took them back to China.

However, after the shooting of the MV dance, Xiao Yao did not announce the end of work, but asked sun Tingting to change her clothes and continue shooting.

Sun Tingting, who reappeared in front of everyone, not only changed into an elegant and solemn red dress style dress, but also had her hair and makeup taken care of again. She didn't dance as light as before. She looked very quiet and dignified.

"Here you are!" When sun Tingting went to the dressing room to change her clothes, Xiao Yao went to the car outside and brought her violin box. At this time, it is Xiao Yao's violin that greets sun Tingting.

"What are you doing?" Mei fang looks at Sun Tingting, who holds the violin on her shoulder, and asks Xiao Yaodao, who retreats behind the photographer.

"I'm going to record a video for the next singer competition. I'm not going to take dor home. I'm going to take her violin instead Xiao Yao explained to Mei fang.

"What?" Mei fang was surprised and said, "Xiao Yao, you came to the United States and filmed MV for several days, and the next competition was finished with a video? You actually came to America for that MV, for that sweet dance just now, right
