Chapter 208: Keep the clouds open and see the moon
The music video for "Not Yet Lovers" was filmed for two days at the Northern Conservatory of Music.
Originally, the required content could be filmed in one day, but Fang Hui felt very good and added additional scenes. As a result, she shot several more scenes. In the end, she still had more to say, regretting that she was not fully prepared this time.
Lu Chen didn't care. Shooting a music video was a very new experience for him. Even Mo Ran in the dream world had never made a music video before, let alone himself. He found it very interesting.
His biggest gain was not that he found the feeling of filming, but that he got to know Fang Hui.
Fang Hui is a very distinctive female director. She is in her 40s, looks ordinary and even a bit ugly, but has a very delicate heart and a unique understanding of the hazy youthful love.
The plot content of the mv is not much, and Fang Hui grasped it very well.
She is not very well-known in the industry, but her director's strength and talent are beyond doubt!
Flying Stone Records was undoubtedly right to invite this artist to shoot MSN's first major music video.
During the filming process, Lu Chen had exchanges with Fang Hui and was greatly impressed by her.
And Fang Hui had a good impression of Lu Chen, which was like Bole discovering a thousand-mile horse or a carver discovering a peerless jade, so she couldn't help but reveal her thoughts.
At present, the domestic film market is showing a trend of change. After more than ten years of baptism and impact from foreign commercial blockbusters, domestic audiences have begun to get tired of the kind of popcorn movies that rely on stunts and stunts.
The wealthy life brought about by economic prosperity cannot satisfy spiritual needs. When "visual feast" becomes synonymous with boredom, people long for higher-level pursuits.
As a result, many distinctive and connotative films, such as nostalgic films, youth films, and comedies, have gradually seized a part of the market and are thriving and promising.
Fang Hui is targeting the youth film market.
She wants to shoot a small-budget youth film at the end of this year or early next year, and release it in time for Valentine's Day in 2016.
But the problem is that Fang Hui was able to build a team and attract several investments, but she could never find a suitable theme.
Or to be more precise, a script that can make her heart beat!
Fang Hui felt that if she could finalize the script, Lu Chen would be one of her ideal male protagonists.
Fang Hui was extremely satisfied with Lu Chen's appearance and acting skills.
Of course, her idea is still on paper for now. Maybe she gave up because of one reason or another. Maybe she found a suitable script, but Lu Chen may not be a suitable protagonist.
Fang Hui did not promise anything to Lu Chen, and the two parties happily exchanged contact information.
Lu Chen kept this incident in mind.
But for Lu Chen now, making movies or anything else is not important. What is important is that he is going home!
The day after filming the MV for "Not Yet Lovers", Lu Chen and Lu Xi returned to Binhai together.
Returned to his real home.
"ah!"
Fang Yun, who was cutting vegetables in the kitchen, turned her head when she heard the sound of the key opening the door. When she saw Lu Chen and Lu Xi coming in, she couldn't help but scream in surprise: "Why are you back?"
The kitchen knife almost cut her finger.
Lu Chen, who walked in first, smiled and said, "Mom, my sister and I are here to give you a surprise!"
In fact, it's not just a surprise. There will be a platter concert in Hangzhou on October 18th. He will be an invited singer on stage to sing 2 songs. The contract for the performance was signed last week.
The so-called platter concert is a concert where many singers and artists are organized by performance companies or brokerage companies to jointly hold concerts. Remuneration is calculated based on the number of performers.
Compared with high-end solo singers, the risks of group concerts are much lower. They are also more recognized by the audience.
The pie in this market is huge at present. Basically, most singers have participated in one or more platter concerts. Some artists even specialize in "grabbing platters" and make a lot of money.
The amount of the performance contract Lu Xi signed for Lu Chen was not high, only 150,000, but it was relatively in line with his current status in the industry. It was slightly lower.
However, because the performance was held in Hangzhou, it was half of Lu Chen's home stage, and the organizer included East Zhejiang Satellite TV, so Lu Xi made the decision without much hesitation.
In fact, during this period of time, many performers have found Lu Chen's studio. Lu Xi just didn't make excessive calls.
Lu Chen's position is not that of a second- or third-rate singer.
Since I am coming to Hangzhou to start singing, I must first go home and have a look, so here is today’s surprise!
"elder brother!"
Lu Xue came out of the room, screamed and flew into Lu Chen's arms.
Her relationship with Lu Chen is much better now than before.
Because Lu Chen secretly gave Lu Xue a lot of pocket money, and as Lu Chen's fame grew day by day, and she was beautiful, she almost became a star in the school, and even the teachers looked at her differently.
"Look, look, this is Lu Chen's sister!"
"Who is Lu Chen?"
"You don't even know, Lu Chen? He's the one who sang "My Deskmate", "Those Flowers" and "Night Sky"
"Ah, she is Lu Chen's sister!"
These discussions greatly satisfied the little girl's vanity.
Not to mention how nourishing her life has been lately, she has a smile on her face every day.
Although Lu Xue is not a superficial girl, she has experienced family changes and understands that these good things are hard-won.
She hugged Lu Chen tightly like an octopus, as if she was hugging the whole world.
Lu Xi behind him couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Lu Xue stuck out her tongue at her sister with a proud look on her face.
Lu Chen hugged his sister: "Well, I've gained a lot of weight."
"No way!"
Hearing these words, Lu Xue was like a kitten whose tail was stepped on, and jumped down quickly: "How can there be!"
Lu Chen hehehe.
Lu Xue felt guilty: "I only gained two pounds at most, not that much!"
She angrily stretched out her hand to Lu Chen: "Where is my gift?"
The two brothers and sisters were playing around here, while Fang Yunxing hurriedly took off her apron and came out, saying: "I went to the supermarket to buy some more food. You two really didn't even call me when I got back!"
Lu Chen and Lu Xi looked at each other and smiled.
Lu Xi originally wanted to call, but Lu Chen refused.
Because Lu Chen wanted to give his mother a surprise, a huge surprise!
Lu Xi said: "Mom, I will go with you."
For Lu Chen, there is nothing happier than getting together as a family and eating the food cooked by his mother.
With Lu Xi's help, Fang Yun cooked a full table of dishes.
By the time we started eating, it was already dark.
Lu Xi opened a bottle of red wine bought from the supermarket and poured it for Fang Yun, Lu Chen and herself. Even Lu Xue had half a glass.
Fang Yun's eyes were red.
Only when you have lost can you understand how precious it is. In the past, it was common for a family to eat together all day long. Now Lu Chen and Lu Xi are working hard in the capital. In the foreseeable future, there will not be many days like this.
The atmosphere in the small living room is a bit gloomy.
Lu Xue was very smart and quickly said to Lu Chen: "Brother, if you want to sign a few more names for me, my classmates want them too!"
Lu Chen smiled and said, "You've told me ten times, I brought a lot of music back this time, just give me records!"
For the recording and discovery of the d album "My Deskmate", Lu Chen left it all to Feishi Records. Before he came to Binhai, d had been fully produced, and the peripheral products were also in the process of production.
So he brought back dozens of them.
Lu Xue was overjoyed: "That's great!"
She came to her lips and kissed Lu Chen on the face: "Brother is so kind!"
Lu Chen was disgusted: "It's all oil!"
Fang Yun and Lu Xi both laughed, and the depressing atmosphere just now disappeared.
Lu Xue glared at her brother and asked curiously: "Brother, are you and Filia Chen real?"
The scandal between Lu Chen and Filia Chen made the entertainment headlines, and of course Fang Yun and Lu Xue also knew about it.
Fang Yun was quite happy, but in the end her joy was in vain.
But Lu Xue refused to give up, thinking that if she had a diva as her sister-in-law, she would be so handsome!
Lu Chen couldn't laugh or cry: "Didn't you refute the rumors a long time ago? I just have a cooperation with Filia Chen. It's all about your children. Just take care of your own studies and don't ask about adult matters!"
Lu Xue muttered: "I am already over 18 years old."
Lu Chen was afraid that she would be nagging her again, so he said to Fang Yun: "Mom, I made a lot of money by selling my shares, so I came back this time to pay off all my family's debts!"
Snap!
The chopsticks in Fang Yun's hand fell on the dining table. She said in surprise: "What did you say?"
She couldn't believe her ears!
Lu Xi said softly: "Mom, this is true. Lu Chen cooperated with others to open a company. Now the company has increased its value and sold shares. The money earned can not only pay off our debts, but also redeem our villa.
Come."
Fang Yun was completely speechless.
Lu Qingsheng borrowed a total of RMB 15 million from relatives and friends because of business difficulties. Later, she went bankrupt and spent all her money to repay only RMB 5 million, leaving her and her three children with a huge debt of nearly RMB 10 million.
Fang Yun gritted her teeth and shouldered this debt.
She once thought that her family would never be able to repay it in her lifetime, but she didn't expect that Lu Chen would suddenly embark on the path of an acting star within a year of going to the capital, and would receive more than 2 million yuan from him.
As of now, there is still a debt of 7 million, and Lu Xi knows the situation.
Now Lu Xi actually said that he can pay it all off and redeem the villa that was taken away by the bank.
How much did Lu Chen earn?
Fang Yun really couldn't believe it, it felt as unreal as in a dream.
Lu Xue was innocent and jumped up: "Really? Can we move back in?"
In that villa, she had the most beautiful memories of her life.
Lu Chen touched his sister's head lovingly: "Of course it's true, we can go home!"
This has been his dream all along.
I originally thought it would never be possible, but then I firmly believed that it could be completed in two or three years at most. Now
Watch until the clouds open and the moon shines brightly! ——
