Chapter 1083

The official version of the songs of the women's troupe has been recorded. Naturally, they will be released.

Xiao Yao is a wonderful work in the music world. Although Xiao Yao is not the only one who throws new songs out on various programs or other public occasions, most of the songs have a live version first and then a formal version. Xiao Yao is absolutely the only one.

Although Haiyan entertainment and the brokerage company plan to let the 101 women's group perform Korean songs at Chinese and Korean star concerts, they have no plan to let them learn from Xiao Yao and make the concert the premiere stage of new songs. Haiyan entertainment wants to let the 101 women's group fight for face for the company in the concert, and it has quite high requirements for the effect of the scene. It's self-evident that a new pop song or a new song that hasn't been released will achieve better results in the concert. After all, the 101 women's League is not Xiao Yao.

Haiyan plans to release the new Korean song created by Xiao Yao for the women's group on the Internet before the concert, so publicity is also essential.

But publicity has nothing to do with Xiao Yao.

Xiao Yao is always not interested in music promotion activities. After the release of their own album, they don't run publicity, let alone write a new song for others. Last year, I agreed to write songs and choreographers on the public stage. What I negotiated with Haiyan was also to write songs and choreographers, not including cooperating with Haiyan to help the women's troupe do publicity.

Haiyan also understands Xiao Yao's character and style, and knows that it's impossible for Xiao Yao to show up and run various publicity activities with the members of the women's League, so she comes up with Xiao Yao's idea behind the scenes.

MV is a propaganda means to cooperate with the release of songs. Xiao Yao wrote, directed and performed his own songs by shooting MV, and the standard and popularity of MV are quite good, so he has made great achievements in shooting MV. Although two films directed by Xiao Yao have made great achievements at the box office in the past two years, Xiao Yao already has the title of film director, but in terms of Xiao Yao's character, it seems that he is not the kind of person who doesn't shoot MV after being a film director.

Xiao Yao is the director. Haiyan is sincere. After the recording of the official version of the song, Haiyan officially invited Xiao Yao to direct the MV shooting of the song, and the conditions given were quite favorable. It's up to him to decide how to shoot and what to shoot. The screenwriter can write by himself or ask someone to write. Haiyan pays for it. It has a high degree of freedom and power, and there are plenty of human and material resources. But unfortunately, Xiao Yao did not agree.

It's not that Xiao Yao can't watch the work of making MV after making the film. After learning about the conditions offered by Haiyan, Xiao Yao was still moved. However, when it comes to shooting MV for this song, Xiao Yao thinks of the original MV of the song in his previous life.

Xiao Yao has seen the original MV of this song. To tell you the truth, at first glance, I feel pretty good, but after watching too much, Xiao Yao thinks that the MV is just like that. The story of a few beautiful women stealing diamonds doesn't fit well with the song itself, and the effect after shooting is relatively general. Xiao Yao's impressions are the scenes of climbing ventilation pipes, throwing whips and passing infrared rays. In addition to the appearance and figure, it is nothing to watch.

More importantly, the original singing group is a group of seven. A few minutes of MV has seven main female characters and one male character, which is enough. Now it's 11 female characters. It's more difficult to assign shots to a few minutes of MV. A gang of eleven to steal diamonds? Unless it's made into a movie like "eleven Arhats" in the previous life, it's better to tie the leading actor to the robber just because everyone can beat the male bodyguard in the MV!

If you want to write a new script, it's not impossible to shoot a completely different MV. However, there are still many new songs that Xiao Yao hasn't shot in the past two years. How can you be interested in writing a MV script for this idol group?

In the live performances with earphones and dancing while singing, there are few people who really open the whole wheat, most of them are half open, especially for idol groups. When the official version of the song is recorded, the girls' main task is to practice dancing.

In music, Xiao Yao is not only a good composer, but also a good vocal music teacher. In dancing, Xiao Yao is a good choreographer, but not a very good dance teacher. When the main training task of the women's group was put on the dance, Xiao Yao's task became much easier. After determining all the dance movements and the movements during the performance, Xiao Yao seems to have changed from an instructor to an error corrector, telling them where they didn't dance right, but rarely telling them how to dance better. And if it's just error correction, it seems that girls can do it by looking in the mirror while practicing.

At this time, Xiao Yao suddenly found that his expected practice time of one month seemed too long. In the third week, that is, the fourth full practice class, Xiao Yao brought Pei Minyi to see the complete performance of the women's troupe. After Pei Minyi designed the stage shape and costumes for them, Xiao Yao finished the singing and dancing practice guidance for the women's troupe ahead of time.

After finishing the work of the women's League ahead of time, Xiao Yao focused his work on the preparation of the film project.

Xiao Yao first went to the casting studio entrusted to help him choose actors and looked at the candidate list of actors prepared by the casting studio for him. There are about ten main characters in this film. In addition to the three that Xiao Yao has decided, there are seven more important characters.These seven roles, casting studios have had contact with many actors, there are some options. Looking at the information of the candidate actors, we found that most of them are experienced but not well-known actors, and many of them are drama actors. Xiao Yao is quite satisfied.

However, because Xiao Yao told casting studio that there was a month in the early stage of casting, the audition time that casting studio told these actors was at least a week later. Xiao Yao is not in a hurry. In addition, some actors have problems with their current schedule, so Xiao Yao, who is free ahead of time, doesn't plan to audition ahead of time. He came here this time to see the candidate list prepared by casting studio. After seeing it, he felt quite satisfied, and Xiao Yao left.

The actors in front of the screen have the casting studio to help him screen in the early stage. Most of the staff behind the screen are Xiao Yao's own. Of course, such people as field work, drama work, lighting and props are all entrusted by experienced producers in the company to help him find them. However, Xiao Yao is still responsible for the head of some major technical departments.

Now that she has finished the work of the women's troupe ahead of time, and the casting of the cast is going smoothly, Xiao Yao has started to look for the behind the scenes staff of the cast.

The first job Xiao Yao is looking for is art director.

The fine arts department is a very important department in the composition of modern film, and it is also a big department next only to the director department. It not only needs to do the most fundamental art design for the color sense and scene of the film, but also includes the three sub departments of clothing, chemistry and Taoism.

Before shooting MV and short films, Xiao Yao didn't ask for a special art director. He came here all by himself. There is no animation film "Wali", because all the things about art design are basically based on the original version of previous life. Parkour movies have been directed by art directors, but Mu Ying found them in the United States and completed the art design by three people. This time in China to shoot their own live action film, Xiao Yao can only find their own.

When it comes to art guidance, Xiao Yao finds that Lin Qisan has great potential in this aspect. Before shooting Parkour movies in the United States, Lin Qisan did a lot of things in this regard. However, on the one hand, Lin Qisan is not a student of fine arts, and he still lacks some experience in this field. On the other hand, he has to be busy with the TV drama troupe of Shen opera students. He said that regardless of Xiao Yao's film, he certainly can't help this time.

Although Huaxia does not have as strict and meticulous trade unions as Hollywood, there are also various associations or societies in the film and television industry. Although Xiao Yao's works are few and he doesn't know many behind the scenes workers in the film and television industry, since he is in this circle, he can't find anyone.

According to the type of the film and the effect he wanted to present, Xiao Yao quickly screened out the art directors who met the requirements in his mind, and then contacted them one by one.

Among these people, Xiao Yao's favorite is a famous art director named Lin Jingliang. Lin Jingliang is from Hong Kong Island. He is in his 40s. He has worked with many famous directors. He has won many awards in art design and fashion design of films. At present, he has also transformed into a director. However, he has only made short films for the time being and has not made long films.

Although Xiao Yao has two box office blockbuster films, as a director, he is still a complete newcomer. Generally speaking, Lin Jingliang's art director of this level is inferior to Xiao Yao's new director. Xiao Yao is to see the other party's schedule is free, just hold a try mentality to contact with the other party, did not expect that the other party received Xiao Yao's invitation, unexpectedly did not directly refuse, but asked to see the script first.

Although not directly rejected by the other party, Xiao Yao did not hold too much hope. Because judging from the experience of the original version of the previous life, this film has not won any awards at all in terms of technology. It seems that it has not even won the nomination. Xiao Yao also does not think that the script alone can move this famous art director. However, this time Xiao Yao didn't plan to play any tricks to deceive others. When the other party wanted to see the script, Xiao Yao happily sent it to him.

The day after the script was sent, Xiao Yao received a call back from the other party, saying that he was interested in the film and wanted to meet and talk about it in detail.

For such a reply, Xiao Yao is certainly overjoyed. After learning that the other party was at home on Hong Kong Island recently, Xiao Yao refused to let the other party work hard. On the pretext that he had not been to Hong Kong Island, he flew to Hong Kong Island the next day to meet Lin Jingliang. Of course, Xiao Yao has not been to Hong Kong Island, but he has never been to Hong Kong as a star because of his work, so this reason at least makes sense.

Xiao Yao really seldom goes to Hong Kong Island. He has been to Hong Kong Island less than one-third of the times he has been to the United States. Most recently, when he was in junior high school, he took advantage of the holiday to take photos with Chen Xuan on Hong Kong Island for a fashion brand. Now, over the years, great changes have naturally taken place on Hong Kong Island, but Xiao Yao has no mind to explore the changes that have taken place in this city over the years.

Arriving on Hong Kong Island, Xiao Yao goes to the hotel and puts down his luggage. After contacting Lin Jingliang, Xiao Yao learns that he is at home, and then goes directly to Lin Jingliang's residence to visit him.

Lin Jingliang has won the world-class art design award. He is a well-known art design master in the world. His residence on Hong Kong Island is located in the famous Banshan villa area. Xiao Yao also took this opportunity to see the Banshan villa area on Hong Kong Island for the first time. He heard about it many times in Hong Kong opera.Although the mainland of China is developing rapidly and many Hong Kong Island film and television people are going to the mainland for development, as far as the rich are concerned, the top rich on Hong Kong Island are still very good. All the way up the mountain, Xiao Yao saw almost all the top luxury cars on the road.

Since he hasn't been familiar with the routes of Hong Kong Island for many years, and the cars on Hong Kong Island are right-hand drive, he is not used to it. So this time, Xiao Yao didn't rent a car, but asked the hotel to call a taxi for him. Sitting in a taxi, looking at all the luxury cars on the way back and forth, Xiao Yao unconsciously remembered that when he was an exchange student in the United States, he took a taxi to visit Keith Craig's house on Beverly Hills.

"My friend is rich now. Do you want to buy a villa in the mid levels of Hong Kong Island?" Looking up at the villas on the mountain through the taxi glass, Xiao Yao couldn't help feeling his chin.

"Forget it. Now that all the filmmakers on Hong Kong Island are going north, there should not be many opportunities to work on Hong Kong Island in the future. If you really want to invest in real estate, it's better to ask Keith to help you buy a house on Beverly Hills. Isn't it better to say that? " However, as soon as this idea arose, Xiao Yao gave up on his own.

"Here we are, sir! Do you think it's funny? " When the taxi stopped, the driver turned back and asked, which also interrupted Xiao Yao's thoughts.

"Tie it!" Xiao Yao looked at the name plate on the doorpost, nodded to the driver, took out the fare and said, "no, please wait! If my friend is not in the real estate company, please take me back! "

It's not easy to call a taxi in the middle of the mountain. If Lin Jingliang goes out, Xiao Yao doesn't want to wait here!

"Well! No problem The driver took the bill and nodded with a smile.

Xiao Yao got out of the car and rang the doorbell. Soon, Lin Jingliang's voice came from the phone at the door: "Mr. Xiao is coming. I'll come out right away." As Lin Jingliang's voice fell, the big iron gate also rang, and then slowly slid to both sides.

That's when someone's home. Xiao Yao turns back to say hello to the taxi driver and asks him to leave.

When Xiao Yao turned around again, he saw a middle-aged man in his forties coming out of the main hall. It was Lin Jingliang who was slightly fat and wore a pair of rimless metal glasses on his face. He was gentle and elegant.

"Hello, Mr. Xiao, welcome Walking near, Lin Jingliang reaches out his hand to Xiao Yao.

He worked with mainland directors almost 20 years ago. Although he speaks Mandarin with a certain Hong Kong accent, it is relatively standard and sounds very comfortable.
