In the end, everyone succumbed to Li Sin's authoritarianism.
Liu Qin and others had expressions of taking it for granted. Li Qing had always decided the direction of the company's general policy. He just put his autocratic hobby into shooting music videos.
After Zhang Zitao heard about this incident, he was speechless for a long time, and finally agreed to let the entire film crew focus on Li Qing's opinions.
Because there is no other way.
Soon, all shooting resources were prepared.
In the video studio, Li Qing was dressed as a clown.
Although the face that was originally extremely handsome was completely painted white, in the eyes of many people, it was difficult to conceal the perfect face shape revealed by his facial contours.
At this time, he was standing under the spotlight, thinking about the characteristics of Chaplin's acting skills.
In fact, the so-called characteristics of Chaplin's acting skills are not actually his own characteristics.
Because many people in later generations know that most of Chaplin's movements and expressions in "Modern Times" were caused by photography technology.
In the past, cameras were hand-cranked, and the speed was entirely controlled by the photographer.
A photographer who was working with Chaplin at that time slowed down the shooting speed in order to save film.
So when the sample is played back at normal speed, the movements of the actors in the film will speed up.
At that time, everyone else on the crew felt that the film was a waste.
But Chaplin thought it was not interesting, so he decided to shoot it at a slow speed.
It was such a small decision that made Chaplin on the screen a symbol of an era with far-reaching influence.
In Li Qing's view, imitating Chaplin is not an easy task.
It is said that after Chaplin became famous, a Chaplin imitation contest was held in New York.
Chaplin disguised himself to compete, but he only came in third place.
When the awards were presented, the organizers of the competition enthusiastically invited Chaplin himself to speak on stage, but at that time Chaplin was half-hearted and said: "Let the champion do the talking. I don't play myself as well as he does."
Even Chaplin himself only finished third in the imitation contest...
This incident caused an uproar in the industry at the time.
Therefore, the biggest factor that determines the popularity of Chaplin's series of films is not Chaplin's excellent physical acting skills, but the speed of the camera when shooting.
After Li Qing told the music video director his idea, under the careful study of the entire shooting team, everyone soon came up with a complete shooting plan.
Referring to the lyrics of "Long Time No See", Li Qing will transform into a "clown" in the film, waiting alone in the park for his lover whom he has not seen for a long time.
The core content of the music video shooting is Li Qing's simple waiting.
Because he is dressed as a clown and his face is covered by a fake beard and dye, when shooting, what Li Qing needs to consider is not the facial expression, but his own body language and changes in his eyes.
The body language is very simple. According to the impression of watching "Modern Times" in his previous life, Li Qing showed some suitable movements.
In addition, he also added various butt-twirling movements himself, which looked even more ridiculous, but the effect on the scene was not very impressive.
It was not until the entire MV was shot that everyone was impressed by the various funny performances of the "clown" in the picture.
But when it comes to shooting eyes, Li Qing went to the other extreme.
His body language is very rich. To sum up, the shooting took probably less than two hours.
However, because several eye scenes were not up to standard, the shooting time was extended by four hours.
Six hours later, the "Long Time No See" MV was officially shot. What needs to be done after that is mostly post-editing.
"At first I didn't understand it, but now I understand."
While listening to the song "Long Time No See", the MV director looked at the MV sample that had just been shot, and said with admiration: "The funny body language, placed in this sad love song, makes the contrast more obvious and looks more beautiful."
It makes people feel desolate and has a profound artistic conception.”
After experiencing this day of filming, Li Qing also gained a new understanding of acting skills.
An actor, no matter how good his acting skills are, will never be able to make a perfect film without the lens of an excellent director.
…
The next day, Li Qing started filming the sixth music video "The Love of My Life".
This song is a film and television episode of "Westward Journey". Without the interpretation of the film, this song can only be regarded as a good song.
Because the artistic conception of the song was obscure and difficult to understand, the film crew decided to follow Li Qing's advice and shoot the entire music video in the Universal Music recording studio.
All the shots are of Li Qing singing this song in the recording studio.
As for other screen filling, it is something that the post-production team needs to consider.
The filming of this MV was the simplest and cost the least money and time.
In one hour, the filming of "The Love of My Life" was completed.
At night, in order to rush for time, everyone decided to shoot the seventh music video "Breaking Point".
In the music video of this song, a TVB actress who had been waiting hard during the filming of "Dusk" finally came into use.
Her name is Zheng Xiuwan, she is 25 years old, an actress signed by TVB, she has been in the industry for two years, and her popularity is neither high nor low.
But because she was born as Miss Hong Kong, even if she didn't make a splash in the film and television industry, she never lacked opportunities to accept various commercial announcements.
Her portrait can often be seen in advertisements for skin care products of some medium-sized brands in Hong Kong.
When she received this announcement from the music video director, she was completely overjoyed.
Several actresses who were sent by the company came forward and blessed him.
But Zheng Xiuwan saw the jealousy in their words and the disappointment in their eyes.
Zheng Xiuwan cherishes this opportunity very much,
When I heard that I was going to play Li Qing's girlfriend in a song's music video, I was so nervous that I trembled all over.
Who is Li Qing? Hong Kong residents have a deeper understanding of this name than mainlanders.
As a loyal viewer of "The King of Masked Singer", Blind Monk can be said to be Sammi Cheng's favorite contestant.
Therefore, when the company said they needed candidates for Li Qing's album shooting, she was the first to step forward, and for this opportunity, she would rather not take any pay.
Who knows, there are many people who have the same idea as her.
Fortunately, she came out on top in the end.
After arriving at Universal Music's Hong Kong branch, Sammi Cheng was placed alone in a secret room and listened to the song "Breaking Point" on a loop.
This song talks about a man's reluctance to leave after a couple breaks up.
When she heard, "Every time I passed by, it was always a sunny day, and when I thought of the past we had, my tears started to spread little by little." Zheng Xiuwan was a little touched.
"Breaking Point" is a song known for its melody, which is unforgettable the first time you listen to it.
But the lyrics of the song are equally memorable. When you carefully understand the meaning, you will understand the forbearance and heaviness in the song.
The feeling the whole song brings to Jung Soo Wan is quite amazing.
The soothing style of music, coupled with Li Qing's melancholy singing voice, instantly touched Sammi Cheng's heart.
So much so that when she actually stood in front of Li Qing and started rehearsing the play, her eyes were filled with bright luster——
Thanks to Kill the Character, Haijiao for the reward (to be continued.)
