Chapter 738

"Ha ha ~" after listening to Xiao Yao, many people at the scene laughed. Now more than 100 people are sitting or standing in this parking lot. Most of them are dressed in black and masked. If outsiders see them, they may really cause some misunderstanding.

"Wu ~ Wu!" Before everyone's laughter fell, two sirens came from the gate of the parking lot. Standing on the top of the bus, Xiao Yao turns around and finds that there is really a black-and-white patrol police car with a siren blowing and stops at the gate of the parking lot.

"Wow ~" people at the scene were surprised to hear the siren. But there was no fear on their faces, only surprise and excitement.

These guys are not afraid. Xiao Yao doesn't want to get into trouble. He says: "Nathan! Take your men to the bus under my feet! There are 24 people who have received my mail, also get on this car! Other people, who want to watch, get in their own cars, and we'll start right away! "

"OK ~" a group of people responded.

"Keith, please send someone to explain to the police officer at the door. I don't want the police to think that we have done something wrong and run away. There are a group of police cars following us on the way to the shooting site!" Xiao Yao jumped off the top of the bus and headed for Keith Craig.

"OK," Keith Craig nodded. "I know what to do."

Two uniformed patrolmen who came to check after being informed by the command center had already seen a lot of guys in black and masked gathered outside the parking lot. They were also surprised. As soon as they opened the car door and got out of the car, they saw the group of people getting into the car one after another. They looked like they were about to run. They were confused and nervous at the same time. Fortunately, before they could press the radio on their shoulders to inform the command center, a young man took the initiative to explain to them the situation in the parking lot.

It's said that the actors recruited by a MV crew gathered here. The black clothes and masked clothes were all role clothes. The two patrolmen were a little relieved. Seeing dozens of cars rushing out of the parking lot, the group of guys in black and masked soon disappeared, and the parking lot became empty. The two patrolmen then reported the situation to the command center, indicating that it was a false alarm and the police call was lifted here.

Two patrolmen parked the police car at the gate of the parking lot. As soon as they got off the car, they ran into the staff of the shooting team. They came forward to explain the situation and stood next to the police car. They didn't go in. This parking lot has only one entrance and exit, so people coming out of the parking lot have to pass by the police car and the two policemen. You can clearly see the expressions on the faces of the two policemen. Seeing the astonished expression on the faces of the two police officers, some guys could not help screaming in the car. I think it's worth their coming out this time just because I can see the expression that confused the two policemen!

A long line of motorcade drove out of downtown Los Angeles and headed for the shooting site introduced by Keith Craig. Xiao Yao also drove out of the car this time, but when he came out of the parking lot, Xiao Yao didn't drive by himself. He gave up his driver's seat to Keith Craig, who was more familiar with the road and had to go to the same car with him. He took a camera and sat in the co driver's seat.

"Keith, slow down a little bit!" Xiao Yao said to Keith Craig when the motorcade left downtown Los Angeles and drove onto the open road on the outskirts of the mountain. He opened the skylight on his head, stood up with the camera, drilled his upper body out of the skylight and photographed the road ahead.

"Hey, young, what are you doing?" Keith Craig, startled, slowed down and cried.

"Shoot some material." Xiao Yao bowed his head. There are some scenes on the road in the MV. Xiao Yao saw that the road in front of him was right. Their car was leading the way in front of him, and there was no traffic in front of him, so he took some photos by the way.

The scene in MV is not long. After shooting for a while, Xiao Yao sat down, closed the skylight and fastened his seat belt again.

"Do you even work as a cameraman?" Seeing Xiao Yao sitting back, Keith Craig raised his speed again and asked Xiao Yao, "if you're not the leading actor in this MV, do you even save the cameraman?"

"Yes Xiao Yao nodded and said, "in fact, there is no cameraman in my MV of" sing me to sleep ", which was shot by me and a few friends with hand-held high-definition cameras. And I'm the first photographer. As long as I'm not in the camera, the camera is in my hand. "

"You..." Keith Craig shook his head speechless.

In this MV, the scene with the most actors is not in the city, but in the mountains, so Xiao Yao did not enter the town at the foot of the mountain, but let Keith Craig take the team directly to the shooting point on the mountain.

After arriving at the destination, Xiao Yao quickly entered the working state, and ordered Pei Minyi to distribute clothes to more than 30 people who did not come here wearing role clothes. He began to investigate the scene himself, and instructed the staff to set up equipment and arrange aircraft seats.

After the preparations were ready, Xiao Yao called all the actors together to tell you the general story of the MV and the content to be shot in the morning. Since there are so many free actors, Xiao Yao has also made some minor changes to the plot in line with the principle of making the best use of everything, increasing the number of characters in several scenes. Especially in the last scene of a large group of people standing on the top of the mountain overlooking the town at the foot of the mountain, Xiao Yao simply put all the more than 100 people in the future into the camera.At the end of the collective scene, all the people pull down their face masks, but this is a long-range shot, and they can't see their faces clearly, so it's not much different from not showing their faces. But in this collective scene, apart from the long-range shot, there are also a few close-up shots of people pulling the hood, which will show their faces completely.

Xiao Yao first asked the actors who were willing to show their faces. As a result, few of them were shy and didn't want to show their faces. They all wanted close-up shots. So Xiao Yao picked a few handsome, beautiful actors from the 24 people he had replied to the email to take close-up shots. Xiao Yao stressed in the video that most of the actors would not show their faces. He had already said hello in advance. At this time, the person who was not picked by Xiao Yao for the close-up did not have any reason to express his dissatisfaction.

Except for the last collective shot, the shots of several members running on the mountain are relatively scattered. In Xiao Yao's own single shot, Xiao Yao explained the photographer's shooting angle and then went to perform in front of the camera. The photographer still had some room to play. When other people were running in groups, Xiao Yao explained the action to the selected actor, and then he stood beside the photographer all the time, directing the photographer's shooting.

Keith Craig didn't play. He just watched. Looking at Xiao Yao at work, Keith Craig could not help sighing: "God, this guy is more and more like a director!"

Xiao Yao once helped daydream design and participated in the material shooting of "sugar" MV. Keith Craig's family also participated in the shooting of Xiao Yao's music video "American Airlines broke my guitar". In those two times, Xiao Yao was a nominal director, but at most he explained when to shoot what, as for the specific angle and composition Ah, what's more, the cameramen at that time played it by themselves, which is very different from the performance of shooting MV today.

But it's not over for Keith Craig. After taking some shots, Xiao Yao moved a drone out of the trunk of his car.

"What is this for?" Keith Craig asked curiously.

"There are some aerial shots in the MV," Xiao said with a smile. "I can't afford to rent a helicopter, so I use a UAV equipped with a wireless HD camera to shoot."

"You said earlier, I'll rent it for you!" Keith Craig thought out, but he did not make complaints about it. He asked, "but you need professional skills to operate UAV to shoot. Have you brought people here yourself? "

"Me," Xiao Yao said with a smile, "I can operate myself."

"Is there anything else you can't do?" Keith Craig asked, glaring.

Xiao Yao smiles and doesn't answer Keith Craig's words. He installs a high-definition camera on the UAV and operates the UAV to take some simple overhead shots of the scenery.

Next, Xiao Yao explained the actions of several scenes of other selected actors, and then operated the UAV to start shooting from the angle of overhead. Now, even the cameraman has nothing to do.

After a busy morning, Xiao Yao finished shooting all the scenes on the mountain, and it was almost noon. Instead of leading the team back to Los Angeles, Xiao Yao took everyone to the small town at the foot of the mountain for lunch.

In a small town square, there is a dining car, which Xiao Yao asked Keith Craig to contact and prepare in advance. According to Xiao Yao's promise in the video, he will be responsible for the actors' lunch, and the dining car is the dining car to prepare lunch for everyone.

As Xiao Yao only expected to have 36 actors, plus some staff of the shooting team, a total of 40-50% lunch was prepared in the dining car. Although he prepared more for the unexpected, the number of extra people was limited, which certainly couldn't meet the needs of more than 100 people. Xiao Yao could only give priority to those actors who had been invited by e-mail, and the extra people would be given to those who followed him. As for the dozens of people who didn't receive lunch, they had to solve the problem by themselves.

In this regard, those who followed the onlookers had no complaints and went out to look for food. This makes a small profit for a few restaurants where the flow of people is not very large.

After lunch, Xiao Yao led the team to have a rest. He also waited for the onlookers who went to solve the lunch by themselves. When they got together again, Xiao Yao led the team back to downtown Los Angeles.

This MV is not only about the mountain, but also about the city. And parkour is originally a suitable sport in the city. Due to the limitation of environmental conditions, the action of the characters on the mountain is mainly running, and there are not many Parkour actions. The real Parkour action is mainly displayed in the lens of the urban environment.

After returning to Los Angeles, Xiao Yao took everyone to a parking lot again. But this time it's not an open-air parking lot, but an indoor parking lot in a relatively remote location with few people and cars.

"Next, we'll shoot in this parking lot." After getting off the bus, Xiao Yao stood on the roof of the car again, clapped his hands and announced to everyone, "in the afternoon shooting, I have no specific action design, so you can just play Parkour here, whose action is beautiful and wonderful, I will shoot whose action and put it into the MV."Because everyone is still wearing the clothes of shooting in the morning, so I have only two requirements," Xiao Yao pointed up two fingers, and then said, "one is that when you play, you should have a pause action, take out your mobile phone to have a look, but I don't have specific requirements for when to pause and how to look. You also heard me say the general plot in the morning. You should know that I need you to look at the mobile map. Second, try to work in groups of two or three with a little interaction. As for how to interact, I will not make specific requirements. This is also the need of the plot, and I think you can all understand how to do it. "

When shooting on the mountain, Xiao Yao also gave the actors some freedom, but the regularity of the action, the speed of running, the formation and the position of walking gave them a framework. And back in the city, Xiao Yao put forward two requirements, without any specific action design, let these Parkour fans free play.

Xiao Yao's decision immediately cheered the hundred people. Xiao YaoFa is looking for Parkour fans in the video, but he spent the morning running in the mountains, and there was no chance to show his Parkour skills. Everyone began to doubt why Xiao Yao had to find Parkour people to shoot this MV. At this time, I heard that parkour, which allows us to play freely, has the opportunity to show our Parkour actions in front of us. Naturally, we are all enthusiastic.

In the next two hours, more than 100 people showed their skills in this parking lot. Parkour's Park originally means parking lot. Parking lot is one of the most suitable places to play Parkour. The people who come here because of one video are enthusiastic Parkour fans, most of whom are also excellent. So during this period of time, Keith Craig and the staff of the shooting team were also eye openers, constantly exclaiming and admiring!

"Well, everyone should have a good time!" More than two hours later, Xiao Yao, who had shot far more material than the MV needed, stopped those people who had a good time.

"No!" Cried a crowd. The shooting of this MV can be regarded as a collective activity for Parkour fans. In addition to having a good time, we also met many new friends with similar ideals, and most of them felt that there was still something to be desired.

"Well, you can continue to play here," Xiao said with a smile, "but our shooting work in the afternoon is over. We're leaving!"

"Wait! Yang, you haven't told us whether you are the Y in yrf? " Hearing that Xiao Yao was going to leave, some people called again. In the process of shooting, many people have taken advantage of the gap between shooting to ask Xiao Yao, but Xiao Yao has been avoiding but not answering. At this time, hearing that he is going to leave, many people think of this again.

"You will know, but not now!" Xiao Yao shook his head with a smile.

"Xu ~" some people hissed discontentedly.

"Well," Xiao Yao raised his hands and began to change the topic. "The shooting of our MV has been basically completed, but it's not all over yet. Do you remember the story I introduced to you this morning? I also need self portraits of people operating computers in front of the camera with hats but no masks. I don't want to do this, you do it yourself! Those who are willing to show their faces in MV in this way, please send me the pictures of your self portraits within two days, or send them to the email announced in the video. Also, remember what I said, it's not guaranteed that everyone will show up, so I will still choose to use it from the videos sent by you. "

"Good bye, everyone. I've had a very good day with you today." Xiao Yao finally waved goodbye to the group and got into his car.

"I've never seen you take a video like this," said Keith Craig, who was in the driver's seat. Seeing Xiao Yao get on the bus, he laughed and joked, "leave a little for others to take pictures for you!"

"Ha ha, you don't see it now." Xiao Yao smiles indifferently.

"Is our filming all over?" Keith Craig asked, "where are you going now?"

"It's not completely over," Xiao Yao said, shaking his head. "I'm going to shoot some scenes where I operate my own computer to send summoning orders, but I don't need a shooting team. I can do it by myself."

"Also," Xiao Yao continued, "I don't want others to shoot this MV for me. There are also some scenes from other cities. I asked netizens from abroad and other cities to shoot them for me and send them to me. I have received several videos yesterday, but the effect is not ideal. I'm going to go out to do something in the evening, and take a sample to put on the Internet for their reference! "

"Let foreign netizens take videos and send them to you to make MV materials?" Keith Craig stares and repeats, "I've never seen you shoot a video like this
