The day after Xiao Yao promised his father to record his first solo album, his senior year of high school officially started.

Compared with elementary school and junior high school, Xiao Yao was much more low-key and restrained in high school. At least since he entered high school, he has never done things like self-study other foreign languages ​​in Chinese and English morning reading classes, or reading fashion photography magazines in his arms during recess. On the one hand, the knowledge in high school is more difficult, not as basic as elementary school and junior high school, which have been imprinted in Xiao Yao's memory in his previous life, so he doesn't need to spend time re-learning. On the other hand, it is also because after entering high school, Xiao Yao did not have the same desire to learn other foreign languages ​​or photography knowledge as in elementary and junior high schools. So even though Xiao Yao entered high school as a star, in high school he behaved more like an ordinary student than in elementary and junior high school.

In school life, Xiao Yao behaved step by step, putting all his energy on his studies like an ordinary high school student. But in his free time on weekends, Xiao Yao put all his energy on his new album.

Xiao Yao himself has a lot of experience in the recording studio, and he arranges the lyrics and music arrangements by himself, and does not need to spend time memorizing the lyrics and music scores like other singers, so simple recording does not need to cost Xiao Yao Too much energy to prepare. His energy is mainly focused on the script creation of the MV.

When Xiao Siqi mentioned it so much, Xiao Yao was really interested in writing the script in his heart, and he wanted to write the script of the mv with great interest.

Eleven songs, of course not all of them will be filmed in MV. According to Xiao Siqi's idea, the initial plan is to shoot the MV of three songs, and then keep the video of "Lazy Song" that Xiao Yao released on Weibo before, and re-matched the official version of the sound effect , it can also be used as an mv after synthesis. Calculated in this way, an album with four songs in the MV is enough.

As for which three songs to shoot for the new MV, Xiao Siqi directly handed over the choice to Xiao Yao himself, and let him decide which three songs to shoot. In other words, it depends on which three songs he plans to or can write the script of MV for.

In this way, Xiao Yao had to think a lot about which three songs to choose for shooting. After some consideration, and with the inspiration from some mvs he had seen in his previous life, Xiao Yao finally selected three songs and wrote down his preliminary shooting ideas.

The first song selected to shoot the MV is the first song Xiao Yao wrote under his own name - "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky". This song is an inspirational rock song with a touch of melancholy. Since it is an inspirational song, Xiao Yao planned to use young people's struggle and feelings as the theme, and designed a small group of four with three men and one woman as the protagonists. The life and feelings of each stage from the student days to the society after entering the society are expressed. The inspirational taste of this song. At the same time, Xiao Yao is also preparing to play one of the small groups of four.

The second song selected is the most special and the most impressive song in the whole album - "New Drunken Concubine". For this very special song, Xiao Yao's mv script is not so special. Xiao Yao's MV did not intend to film an ancient story about Concubine Yang Gui. Because the most brilliant and eye-catching part of the whole song is the Jingyun singing, so Xiao Yao directly connected the MV of this song with Peking Opera. He is going to shoot some clips of Mei Qingchang's students learning Peking Opera, interspersed with some scenes of Tsing Yi performances in Peking Opera, in this way to express the connection between this song and Peking Opera, and at the same time, it can be regarded as doing some publicity for Peking Opera . In the MV of this song, Xiao Yao is planning to not show his face from the beginning to the end.

In the mv of the first song, Xiao Yao is one of the leading actors. In the mv of the second song, Xiao Yao does not participate in the performance at all. When it comes to the mv of the third song, Xiao Yao is ready to play alone.

The last song that Xiao Yao decided to make an MV was the folk song "Those Flowers". For such a song that reminds people of the era when white clothes fluttered, Xiao Yao plans to fully show his style of literary youth. The MV of the whole song has no plot, it is all spliced ​​by the singer, that is, the scenes of Xiao Yao himself playing and singing in various environments. It can be said that he is playing stream of consciousness. The most important thing in it is whether you can find a few scenes designed by Xiao Yao, and whether you can make the pictures beautiful and beautiful.

The Chinese name of mv is Music Video Tape, which involves music and performance at the same time. It is also a rare project that requires the cooperation of the music department and performance department of Qijia Studio. Therefore, when Xiao Yao took out the three mv shooting proposals that he spent a lot of time and painstaking efforts on, Xiao Siqi was no longer the only reviewer, Ye Jiaying was also one of them.

"This is the mv shooting plan I wrote." At this time, the three members of the Xiao family were sitting on the sofa in the living room at home, and Xiao Yao handed the things he wrote to Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying. Because the MV of one of the songs has no plot at all, so the word script was not used, but it was called a shooting plan.

"You're pretty fast. It's only been two weeks, and you've got ideas for the MVs of three songs." Xiao Siqi smiled, and opened a stack of papers bound in his hand.

"The recording of the album is almost finished, and the shooting of the mv should also be put on the agenda. I'm not too soon." Xiao Yao said, "You guys take a look first and talk about your feelings. If it doesn't work, you can I have time to make revisions, and if it doesn’t work, I have time to find a special MV screenwriter to rewrite it.”

After two weekends and a total of four days, Xiao Yao's new album has recorded eight songs, and now only the song "The Drunken Concubine" with the most complicated soundtrack and the most difficult singing has not been recorded yet. With the hands in place and the accompaniment already recording, Xiao Yao can finish it in at most one more day.

"No? No? It's not like you to say such unconfident words." Xiao Siqi teased Xiao Yao.

"Okay, let's take a good look at your shooting plan. It's the first time Bayi is doing this, so it's just a matter of caution." Ye Jiaying slapped Xiao Siqi and said.

"Uh...I don't feel like watching this, it's mainly up to you to judge. I can only judge good or bad from the finished product after filming. Read the script...Shooting plans are not suitable for me. I'm not as good as your actors. An imagination that turns words into clear pictures in my mind." Xiao Siqi spread his hands. Even so, Xiao Siqi lowered his head and looked at it seriously.

After a while, Ye Jiaying and Xiao Siqi finished reading, and looked up at Xiao Yao together.

"How?" Xiao Yao asked a little nervously. Whatever he did in the past, Xiao Yao had studied for at least a period of time, and only started to do it when he was fully prepared. This time writing the shooting plan, it was the first time for Xiao Yao to use his own imagination to do something he was not familiar with, so it was a reason why he was not so confident.

"Not bad," Ye Jiaying nodded with a smile, and commented, "The three MVs are completely different in style. The most special song "The Drunken Concubine" was shot in the most conventional way, which is quite satisfactory. But because of this The song is already special enough, so the MV doesn’t need to be shot in a special way. There’s nothing to be seen in “Those Flowers”. It’s pure stream-of-consciousness. It mainly depends on the scene selection, director and photographer’s shooting techniques. Can you make the screen Beautiful shooting is the key, and it’s only when the finished product is judged. Well...you need to find a director and photographer who are good at this aspect.”

Ye Jiaying picked out the shooting plan that most resembled the script, and continued: "However, what I am most interested in is the MV script of "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky". The theme is very interesting, and the plot design is also very attractive. I think You can expand this story, and even turn it into a movie or a TV series. Are you interested in turning it into a script for a movie or TV series? When the time comes, I will leave you with a main character to write and act on your own. It’s really cool to say it.”

"Mom, are you suffering from an occupational disease?" Xiao Yao smiled wryly, "We are discussing making an MV, why did you suddenly get involved in movies and TV shows?"

"I don't think there is any problem," Ye Jiaying said with a smile, "The shooting plan of these three mvs will be like this first, I will keep it for now, after we contact the director of the mv, I will show this to the director, listen to it The director's idea, but I don't think it should be a big problem."

"Si Qi, what do you think?" Ye Jiaying looked at her husband again and asked.

"I said I have no objection." Xiao Siqi spread his hands, "Anyway, I only participate in the post-production of the soundtrack and the final review. As for how to shoot the video, you can make a decision."

"Okay, then it's settled." Ye Jiaying clapped her hands, turned to Xiao Yao and said, "Now let's discuss the issue of adapting the script. Do you think it's better to turn this story into a movie or a TV series? Or One version for the movie and one for the TV series?"

"Mom, it took me a long time to write the mv script for just a few minutes. Now you ask me to write a movie script for one or two hours and a TV script for an hour or two? Let's not talk about it. Can I I can write it, I am a senior in high school this year, do you want me to spend all weekends in my senior year of high school writing scripts?" Xiao Yao smiled wryly and shook his head.

"It's true, study is very important, and rest is also very important." Ye Jiaying nodded.

Xiao Yao was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but Ye Jiaying did not expect that Ye Jiaying continued: "But I always feel that you have talent in this area, so you can't just waste it like this. Besides, your studies have always been very good. It's been half a month since the third year of high school. Seeing that you spend more time studying than usual when you are at home. In addition to going to the recording studio to record on weekends, you usually play musical instruments and photographic equipment at night. Why do I feel that you have become lazy? You used to What about the courage to try everything and the endless thirst for knowledge?"

"What?" Xiao Yao stared and complained in his heart, "This is still my real mother... well, it's not my real mother, but this is still the stepmother who has been pampering me for ten years, for fear that I will be tired ?"

"My son has a girlfriend now," Xiao Siqi said quietly from the side, "His thoughts are probably on Duo'er now."

"Oh." Hearing Xiao Siqi's words, Xiao Yao suddenly had a glimmer of understanding in his heart. Ye Jiaying's performance like this is probably related to her recent focus on music. In the past two years, in addition to participating in a variety show as a guest and taking a group of promotional photos for the national men's basketball team, whether it was forming a band to attend the Oscars when he went to the United States, or participating in "The Voice of China" and releasing an album after returning to China , are all about music. As for acting, I haven't filmed for several years. I haven't shown any obvious interest in acting recently, but if it's a script I wrote, would I not want to act? Just now when Ye Jiaying mentioned the words self-written and self-acted, it seemed to be very important.

After thinking about this, Xiao Yao was also speechless about his parents. He has long seen that the parents are secretly fighting over the direction of his future entertainment career. In the past, it was his grandfather Xiao Chengru and his father Xiao Siqi, and now Ye Jiaying is also on the same front as his grandfather Xiao Chengru. Since it was a secret war, they naturally said that they did not explicitly say or ask Xiao Yao what to do, they always used the way of guidance and discussion, so Xiao Yao also pretended to cooperate with them without knowing it. Now it seems that the more they play, the more interested they are.

"Actually, I didn't say that I will let you write all the scripts by yourself. I also know that you have never written scripts for film and television works before, and you have no experience in this field." Ye Jiaying and Xiao Yao discussed, "Do you think this will work?" , I will find a special screenwriter for film and television, and use your MV as the framework to adapt it, and the final screenwriter's name will also have your name on it."

"Is this letting me take advantage?" Xiao Yao frowned.

"Of course not. I know that you are not the one to take advantage of it." Ye Jiaying said, "I mean, you don't need to do the handwriting, but you, as the creator of the story, participate in the writing process of the script, and adapt and adapt at any time." Keep in touch with the screenwriter, such as providing some advice, or thinking about a plot, plot, etc., you tell the screenwriter your ideas, and he will make specific improvements. In this way, this script is completed by your joint efforts Yes, your final signature is justifiable. And in the process, you can also learn some scriptwriting knowledge and accumulate some experience from those professional screenwriters. In case you have a new story in the future, a good idea , when you want to write the script yourself, it will be easier, how about this idea?"

"It's really a very good idea." Xiao Yao was moved. I have a lot of plots and plots of excellent film and television dramas from my previous life in my mind. Just tell the screenwriter directly and let him perfect the content in the script. You don’t need to spend too much time and energy on your own. By the way, follow professional screenwriters to formally study the writing of film and television scripts.

"Okay, I agree." Xiao Yao thought for a while, and finally nodded, "But there is a condition, you have to wait until all the MV filming is over."

"Of course." Ye Jiaying said happily, "I'm not a pickpocket, I want you to keep going."

Xiao Siqi rolled his eyes helplessly. (To be continued.)
