At this time, it had been temporarily rented by the MV crew for two days and used as a shooting scene.
Cao Xuan, dressed in a simple white shirt, sat in front of a piano and played. Hu Jing lay on the sofa behind him with her legs crossed, her calves swaying slightly to the sound of his piano.
Cao Xuan studied vocal music for three years in high school. According to school regulations, everyone must learn an instrument. Cao Xuan's family had no money, so he bought a harmonica to make up for it.
In addition, because Uncle Cao Xuan had worked in prostitutes in his early years, he was also very interested in suona. After failing the college entrance examination, he almost joined the local drumming class in his hometown.
Cao Xuan is the most familiar with these two instruments and his level is acceptable.
As for other musical instruments, Cao Xuan only knows guitar and piano. Cao Xuan learned the guitar from singing in a band when he was performing in a group performance, and the piano because he had special piano lessons in high school.
Cao Xuan's level of these two instruments is average. It can only be said that he is just getting started and is limited to being able to play.
In order not to expose his secrets, Cao Xuan specifically asked the band to try several instruments every time he played accompaniment in the recording studio, and finally decided which instruments to use after "considering it left and right."
These experiences also reminded Cao Xuan that even if he is copying songs, he still needs to accumulate a certain amount of capital.
You need to learn and understand all kinds of basic music theory knowledge and musical instruments. You don’t need to be proficient, but you need to know something about all aspects. You need to be able to speak meaningfully at critical moments, and you need to be familiar with common sense issues.
If there is another Dr. Zhai CNKI incident later, how happy Cao Xuan is copying now, how miserable it will be if he overturns in the future...
So these days, Cao Xuan has not neglected to recharge and learn music.
Because the "Fairy Tale" MV requires the male protagonist to play the piano, he even took several lessons from a teacher and practiced frequently in the recording studio.
Now I can’t say that I have mastered this piece of music, but I can say that I am proficient in one line.
After filming this section, Cao Xuan and Hu Jing went to the bathroom to change clothes and then directly filmed the following plot.
The two of them were sitting on the sofa, and on the VCD TV connected in front of them, the last part of the movie "The Love of Heaven" starring Liu Tianwang was playing.
The male protagonist was hacked to death, and the female protagonist Wu Qianlian ran staggering down the street wearing a wedding dress and crying.
According to the plot, Hu Jing was tortured by the movie and burst into tears. Cao Xuan comforted her, and then the two looked at each other, moved, and started kissing.
Cao Xuan was worried before that Chang Li would stop Hu Jing from filming the kissing scene.
However, she was very professional and knew that actors were familiar with similar scenes and had no intention of interfering. She even encouraged Hu Jing, who was a little nervous.
Later, Chang Li took Zeng Li away from the filming scene to relieve Hu Jing's pressure because she was worried that Hu Jing would not be able to save face in front of acquaintances.
After Chang Li left, it was not only Hu Jing who relaxed, Cao Xuan also breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, it’s too stressful to have relatives and students in front of the teacher, not to mention Zeng Li, who has an overwhelming presence next to him...
………
Chang Li and the two left, and Hu Jing began to make preparations. When the crew officially started shooting, she burst into tears.
It has to be said that this girl's more than one year in the drama was not in vain. She has very solid basic skills. She can do the crying scene directly, and the crying is not ugly, and she even has a pitiable frailty.
Cao Xuan didn't even need to act, and instinctively reached out to wipe Hu Jing's tears. The two looked at each other silently, and Hu Jing leaned forward slightly and took the initiative to give her a sweet kiss.
"Hmm."
Cao Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then immediately entered the state.
Previously, Hu Jing asked Cao Xuan how it felt to film a kiss scene with Wang Siyi, and Cao Xuan deliberately said it plainly. Although the intention was to divert Hu Jing's attention, he was also somewhat sincere.
At that time, Cao Xuan really didn't have any thoughts, all he could think about was filming and cooperating.
After filming, there was no so-called aftertaste or nostalgia, it was just like any other ordinary scenes.
But this time with Hu Jing and Cao Xuan, I had a different feeling.
I forgot all about filming and MV, and devoted myself wholeheartedly to it, feeling it seriously.
Soft, like jelly.
Moist, slippery.
Sweet, damn, it made me bleed from my bite!
Cao Xuan withdrew his mouth, pursed his lower lip, and looked at Hu Jing dumbfounded: "Sister, this is not pot-baked meat, so you don't need to be so vigorous."
Hu Jing's face was as red as a layer of blood. When she saw the smiling staff around her, she clenched her pink fist and gave Cao Xuan a hard punch.
"Stop talking."
"I forgive you this time, but I won't do it again next time."
Cao Xuan stopped when he saw that it was good, and trotted to the monitor to watch the replay. Chen Hanzhu's face was filled with emotion.
"Do you want to keep one more thing?"
"No, this will do."
Cao Xuan still has some sense of integrity and can just do a normal kissing scene. If he deliberately shoots it extra, it's just a hooligan act. Even if Hu Jing agrees, he doesn't want to do it.
The days are long!
After confirming this, the makeup artist dropped some artificial blood into Hu Jing's nose, and then smeared some on Cao Xuan's face.
The two kept kissing at first, then turned on the phone and separated. Hu Jing looked at the blood on Cao Xuan's face and laughed at him happily.
And Cao Xuan looked at the two dazzling blood marks under her nostrils, his eyes unable to suppress the panic and helplessness.
After filming this part, the scenes in the MV were almost over, and the crew moved on to shoot the next set of scenes involving medical treatment and farewell.
………
After all, the MV is a video that goes with the song. Even if it is longer than the song, it is only about five or six minutes at most.
Almost 1/3 of it is Cao Xuan playing the piano alone, and the real scene of Hu Jing is only about three minutes.
In addition, the MV does not need to be exquisite and detailed, it just needs to be passable, so the shooting speed is very fast.
The "Fairy Tale" MV was shot for a total of eight days, including one and a half days of meetings and crew adjustments, and another day for reshoots.
After that came "Twilight" with Zeng Li.
In this MV, Cao Xuan and the heroine have very few scenes opposite each other, and there is no kissing scene. Except for one scene where the male and female protagonists break up, the rest were shot separately. The heroine once escaped to heal her wounds, and the male protagonist is alone and missing her.
In addition, there are a lot of dusk scenery. For this reason, Cao Xuan spent three days traveling all over the mountains and rivers near the capital to photograph a person singing solo in the dusk scenery.
When Zeng Li was filming, the Chinese drama school had already started. Chang Lite granted her a week's leave and then escorted Hu Jing back to school.
After Chang and Hu left, Cao Xuan clearly felt that Zeng Li was hiding from him and would never be alone with him.
Seeing this, Cao Xuan did not force contact with her, which made the girl so angry that she could not even be friends with her in the future.
The famous emotional coach Wang Ganniang also said in her "Five-Word Strategy" that you can't rush when it comes to relationships, you have to be patient, hide the needle in the cotton, and figure it out slowly.
On February 20, the "Dusk" MV was completed.
Cao Xuan spent his money to treat the crew to a break-up meal, and specially invited Chang Li to attend.
During the filming process, the old lady gave a lot of guidance and help. Cao Xuan specially asked Chang Li's name to be included in the post-production process, and marked a special thank you at the end.
Chang Li, a Chinese opera professor, obviously would not feel honored to have his name appear on two MVs.
But seeing Cao Xuan being so sensible and thoughtful, my impression of him has improved a lot.
If Cao Xuan hadn't been thinking about the cabbage in his class, Professor Chang might have given him a few smiles...
Chang Li is here, not to mention the two female leads Hu Jing and Zeng Li, and several other Golden Flowers from the 96th China National Opera Troupe are also here to join in the fun.
Cao Xuan also saw the future international chapter for the first time.
This famous three-time Best Actress was still a young, yellow-haired girl, and she was so good that she deserved to be nicknamed "Little Steel Pao" in the dormitory.
Although he is still young, his ambition is already evident.
At the banquet, she half-jokingly recommended herself, saying that Cao Xuan could look for her to shoot a music video next time, and that she was willing to star in the role at a low price, even for free. She just wanted to put it into practice.
In response to Zhang Ziyi's probing, Cao Xuan also gave a half-joking and half-serious reply——
In the beginning, Hu Jing and Zeng Li came to help her despite pressure. Cao Xuan will always remember this friendship. If he becomes prosperous in the future, he cannot let them down.
In the future, his music videos will only feature Hu Jing and Zeng Li as the female leads. This is his personal gratitude to them.
As soon as Cao Xuan's half-truth and half-false words came out, Zhang Ziyi would be cornering his roommate if he thought about it again, so he could only keep silent.
Hu Jing gave Cao Xuan a look of satisfaction and encouragement. Zeng Li looked at him with a somewhat complicated look, but also with a hint of happiness.
But what Cao Xuan was a little confused about was Zhang Tong and Yuan Quan.
The former had a gossipy look on his face and had to move to a small bench to eat melon seeds, while the latter's eyes were full of scrutiny and scrutiny. Cao Xuan almost suspected that the other party had taken a liking to him.
Although she is also very beautiful, she is not the type that Cao Xuan likes, so she should leave it to Brother Xia Yu...
