Entertaining Children

  Chapter 261 Post Production

  Three weeks of recording and two weeks of MV shooting. When Xiao Yao finished shooting the second MV, it was rare that five weekends in September had come to an end. The MV of the last song was much more complicated than the previous two because of the actors, scenes, and even props and costumes involved, so it was scheduled for the final shooting, because this time has entered the National Day holiday. Xiao Yao had a whole week of vacation, instead of deliberately rushing to complete it in two days.

  At the same time, Zhedong Satellite TV’s "The Voice of China" also aired the penultimate contest for the top four seats in the finals. TV viewers have already seen Xiao Yao's performance of "Courage" with Sun Tingting on the same stage as "Courage" and a handsome "Huatian Mistake" with erhu, which eliminated two beautiful students and entered the final total. finals. The final finals will be broadcast on October 5th during the National Day holiday next weekend. There will also be countless viewers waiting in front of the TV to watch the final duel of the four finalists. Xiao Yao is undoubtedly what the audience is looking forward to most.

  At the end of the previous episode, Xiao Yao jokingly told the host Chen Nan that he would try to compete with his original songs in all subsequent competitions, and there were not too many audiences taking it seriously. Because many viewers have noticed the word try in Xiao Yao's words. But when this program came out, Xiao Yao’s two songs were all original songs that he hadn’t heard before, and the audience felt that Xiao Yao would all take part in the competition with original songs in the finals.

Everyone still remembers that when Xiao Yao’s girlfriend broke out during the blind election, although Xiao Yao officially announced the fact that he already had a girlfriend with a picture of a "childhood boy and bamboo horse" on Weibo, it still appeared on the Internet. There was a controversy about Xiao Yao's girlfriend. At that time, some netizens talked about whether Xiao Yao and his girlfriend were compatible, and even involved Zhu Zitong who had not met Xiao Yao at all. Xiao Yao didn't make any response at that time, but look at this "Courage" again, is there a better response than this?

  Let’s not talk about how the two men blatantly abused the dog on the stage wearing alternate couple costumes with interlaced colors, nor how affectionately they look at each other between Sun Tingting, who is playing the violin, and Xiao Yao, who sings. Just listening to the lyrics "Love really needs courage to face the rumors," is enough to represent Xiao Yao's counterattack against those who question their relationship. At the same time, it also represents from another aspect, this song was written by Xiao Yao in the 20 days between the blind selection broadcast and the recording of the semi-finals. With his ability to speak with songs instantly, it is quite expectable to get two or three original songs in the finals.

In the eyes of the media, in the two episodes of the show, whether it is Xiao Yao's five songs, except for one chorus, all the other four solo songs are original songs, or Chen Yuhan's self-exposure Xiao Yao helped her save her forgotten words. A grateful hug, the co-acting of Sun Tingting and Xiao Yao on the stage of the show and the eye contact, no matter which point is extremely topical, so after the blind selection and broadcast of Xiao Yao’s three instruments at the same time It is normal that a wave of intensive reports about Xiao Yao's wonderful performance in the show will appear again.

  However, no matter how hot the media and the Internet are, Xiao Yao continues his work as planned. After the National Day holiday, Xiao Yao devoted himself to the MV shooting of the third song-"The Brightest Star in the Night Sky".

The content of this MV roughly tells about four close friends who have been close since high school. After graduation, they have embarked on different life paths, rushing into the society in their own way, rushing around for life, and experiencing the ups and downs of life. And get together again at the most lost time, draw strength from each other, rekindle fighting spirit, and face life with hope.

  The protagonist is three men and one woman. Although the three boys have very good feelings, their characteristics are very different. One is a gentle student, the other is a talented musician, and the other is a basketball player with extraordinary skills. When Ye Jiaying read the script, he once said with a smile that Xiao Yao assigned his three skills to three different roles. Generally speaking, the latter two are the more popular types among girls in school, but here it happens that Xueba and the gentle and generous girl like each other. The talented musicians and the basketball players tried their best to help the schoolmasters chase the girls and bring the two together.

Throughout high school, there were not only the romantic and sweet scenes of schoolmasters and girls studying together, but also the scenes where the other three were cheering off the court when basketball players were fighting on the court, and the other three were in the audience when the music talent participated in the campus singer competition. The picture of shouting loudly on the table.

The camera changed, Xueba entered the prestigious university as he wished. After graduation, he entered the workplace. After working hard, he also reaped career success. After a while, he also started his own business, but he focused on his career and ignored him. Since high school, the relationship between the girl and the girl who came along with him, the girl proposed to him to break up. The departure of his girlfriend did not shake Xueba’s determination to struggle. Unfortunately, things are fickle, and Xueba’s career has also suffered a huge blow. A rash decision-making error not only brought the company he founded to the brink of bankruptcy, but also made him stand on the edge of bankruptcy. To the edge of the roof.

  Music talent impressed the record company with his outstanding performance in the campus singer contest. After graduation, he signed a contract and entered the entertainment circle. With his excellent musical talent, he quickly became a popular fried chicken in the music world. He released albums and held concerts, and he was in the limelight for a while. However, after some time, he encountered a bottleneck in his creation, and he also encountered a downturn in his life, and his whole person was also decadent.

The basketball player’s performance on the campus is not enough to make him a professional player. After failing the college entrance examination, he has no choice but to engage in coolies at the bottom of the society. He has worked as a hard-working decoration worker, delivered express delivery, and traveled through wind and rain. Although the takeaway boy of, although he finally opened a small milk tea shop, he still needs to stay in the shop all day to worry about business.

  The plot does not tell about the ups and downs of the girls' career, but it uses her perspective to link the three boys after graduation. The girls have seen fans' pursuit of music talents from far away, and they have also crossed the street with basketball players who deliver food. At the end of the MV, after a period of breakup, the girl accidentally wandered to the school of the year, and sent a short message to the three groups requesting a gathering. It was this text message that brought back the school bully who was standing on the edge of the building, and also brought back the decadent music talent in his own music room. The basketball player who has been worrying about his livelihood after seeing the text message, also He gave a long-lost knowing smile.

  Later, the four of them got into Xueba’s car together and Benz moved away from the outskirts of the city. The four people laughing and chatting in the car were like returning to the carefree life on campus. Xueba seems to have regained his self-confidence, the decadence on the face of the talented musician has disappeared, and the brows of the basketball player who have been frowning because of the thick melancholy finally stretched out.

  Finally, the four people parked the car on a wilderness, and the four people who got on and off in the brisk car also showed bright sunny smiles on their faces. At the end, four people stood by the car, looking up at the brilliant starry sky above.

  There are friendship, love, the pursuit of dreams, career struggles, and life's ups and downs. A song of more than four minutes, even if some scenes at the beginning did not include the music of the song, the entire MV was only stretched to more than five minutes. To express so much content in such a short period of time, the only way to take a jump shot editing and explain some of the most important images with the most concise shots is no wonder Ye Jiaying, after seeing this plot, was the first time I just want to adapt it into movies and TV shows.

   Among the three boys, Xiao Yao plays the basketball player, and relatively speaking, he is the most difficult performer among the three boys. Whether it is the need to show standard basketball moves in basketball games during the student period, or the working conditions of the lower-level manual workers after entering the society, the performance requirements of the other two roles are higher than those of the other two roles.

  The other two roles, Ye Jiaying invited two young newcomers from the showbiz with good looks to perform. Although Xiao Yao didn't know him, he could be considered to have seen their names in the entertainment news. And the actor who plays the heroine is Xiao Yao's old acquaintance.

   "Cheng Xi? Aren't you already a new and popular Xiaohuadan, why did you condescend to come to shoot the MV?" Xiao Yao looked at Cheng Xidao who appeared on the MV shooting scene in amazement.

"What's so popular? I'm still early," Cheng Xi said with a smile, "How can I use the word "condescend" to describe me in front of you. I don't think I happen to be free recently, so I came to pat you on purpose. This prince’s flattery, would you like to use your MV to mention the popularity? I and Sister Jiaying recommended myself, and come here to help for free."

"It's free? My mother is not so stingy, is it? Your artist is still exploiting?" Xiao Yao smiled, then his face changed, "Wait, your name is sister, my name is mom, don't you take advantage of me? "

   "That's no way, who made you her son?" Cheng Xi smiled and said, "She said she didn't like me calling her boss, I can't call her an aunt?"

   "Uh..." Xiao Yao was speechless.

  The director of this MV changed another person. The director was originally a MV shooter, but in recent years he has been successfully promoted to a TV drama director. Therefore, it is easy for him, who has both TV drama shooting experience and MV shooting experience, to direct this plot-based MV. Of course, if Ye Jiaying and Xiao Siqi hadn't used their personal relationship, I'm afraid that the director, who has already established a firm foothold in the TV drama circle, would not be able to come back to shoot the MV.

The director is good enough and professional. Among the four actors, Xiao Yao is self-explanatory. Cheng Xi is also a quasi-Xiaohuadan with good acting skills. In addition, although the other two leading actors are newcomers, they are not pure vases without acting skills. So this Although the MV is more complicated, after all, because of the overall length of time, no matter how many shots there are, the shooting went smoothly.

  In just three days, Xiao Yao completed the shooting of the last MV. Since there are more shots that need to be edited, the post-production time of this MV is also longer than the previous two. After spending two days in the post-production of the MV with the director, Xiao Yao’s three new MVs were finally completed.

  Three MVs, Xiao Yao participated in the post-production. Following three different directors, editors, and soundtrackers to observe and learn the post-production of the MV, Xiao Yao also started his own Selfie video "Lazy Song" to reset the audio to do the post-production of the MV. This video was shot with a high-definition camera. There is no problem with the image quality. Xiao Yao has the video file in his own hand, so he doesn’t need to edit it again. Just reconfigure the audio with better sound effects. So Xiao Yao can do it. It's not difficult. I took the opportunity to put into practice the knowledge and techniques I learned how to mix audio and video.
