Boys and girls in love hope to be together all the time. After completing the task of recording the album, and the MV shooting has not yet started, Xiao Yao, who rarely had a full day of rest after school started, of course chose to stay with Sun Tingting.

Sun Tingting is not the kind of girl who likes to play around crazy, nor is she a shopaholic who has a strong obsession with shopping. Considering Xiao Yao's hard work in recording some time ago, she considerately set the date for the two at the The place where they feel most relaxed - the "Grandpa's Secret Garden" that Sun Tingting will never forget after visiting once.

Sitting in Xie Di's small courtyard, Xiao Yao also told Sun Tingting Ye Jiaying's intention to invite Sun Tingting to participate in the MV filming, and at the same time brought Sun Tingting a script for the MV.

"What do you mean?" After reading the simple MV script, Sun Tingting looked up at Xiao Yao and said.

"Hmm..." Xiao Yao hesitated for a moment, but said honestly, "Actually, I don't really want you to participate in the performance of this MV."

"Oh?" Sun Tingting gave Xiao Yao a strange look.

"It's just a few minutes of mv, but it's not of much value to an actor, and he won't have much performance experience," Xiao Yao explained, "If this is not the mv of my own song, I am I have no interest in acting. For you, you are not going to enter the entertainment industry now to find a chance to make your debut. There is no need to join the MV. This is different from the last time I asked you to come on stage to help me play "Courage". It's your specialty, the best violinist I've ever seen."

"You mean I'm not good at acting." Sun Tingting pouted her lips pretending to be wronged and said, "You haven't seen me acting before."

"No," Xiao Yao quickly shook his head and said, "This mv doesn't have high requirements for acting skills at all, or my mother wouldn't want to ask you to act without even watching it. She has never seen you before. Acting. I don’t want others to say that you are with me because you want to be famous because of me. If you really want to make your debut now, that’s fine. I don’t even mind creating a work specially tailored for you to praise you, but now you It’s not that I really want to be famous, why bother to do this for no reason. You don’t know, my parents’ attitude towards me has changed recently. They basically ignored me before, but now they just want to squeeze me out of their minds. I have a lot of things on me, I don't want you to be squeezed by them like me."

"How can you say that about uncle and aunt?" Sun Tingting was still very happy to hear Xiao Yao's protection and love for her, but Xiao Yao's final treatment of Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying made Sun Tingting disagree, "You Don’t you think it’s because you have grown up that your uncles and aunts have changed their attitude towards you? I think they just pay more attention to your career development. To be honest, as a capable second-generation star, you used to It's enough to live leisurely, don't you want to live so leisurely for the rest of your life?"

"What do you mean?" Xiao Yao asked a little confused, "I'm still a student, so let's talk about career now?"

Sun Tingting sighed helplessly and said, "Look at how brother Shitou has come over these years. He has appeared in more than twenty works, almost every year. You are also a star who has already debuted. As an actor who has won the Newcomer Award, you haven’t acted in a show for three years. As a singer, it’s been more than two years since you released a single, that is, after participating in the program now, uncle seized the opportunity to let you release an album. Don’t use your studies as an excuse. Everyone knows how good your grades are. You went to the United States for a year, and after you came back, you went directly to the third year of high school and didn’t see any discomfort in you. Uncles and aunts are already enough for you to live happily Now, it's going to be another family, how can there be such a good thing?"

Xiao Yao thought about it, and found that what Sun Tingting said really made sense. In the entertainment circle, a newcomer becomes popular,

Where the old man is out of breath, although he has golden fingers with the memory of his previous life, he is not worried at all, but his parents don't know this, and it is really rare to let him play until now. And even though I am now an adult, what my parents have changed is only their mentality. They just want to participate in more work. In terms of doing things, they still fully consider their own opinions. I didn't force it. Thinking of this, Xiao Yao's resentment towards his parents immediately disappeared without a trace.

"Well, what you said makes sense." Xiao Yao smiled and said to Sun Tingting, "Girls are still delicate, or they say that daughters are parents' caring little padded jackets. If I want a child in the future, I must also have a child." daughter."

"Ah?" Sun Tingting blushed at Xiao Yao's extremely thought-provoking words. Somewhat annoyed: "What are you talking about, you are only so old, and now you are thinking about the child's problem, are you embarrassed?"

Xiao Yao was amused by Sun Tingting's embarrassment, and deliberately teased: "I'm shameless, why are you blushing? It's not because you want to..."

"Ah!" Sun Tingting was furious at this moment, she reached out and grabbed a piece of the rose pancake in front of her and threw it towards Xiao Yao who was across the table: "You're talking nonsense!"

Responding quickly, Xiao Yao shortened his body, opened his mouth, and even caught a small piece of rose cake thrown by Sun Tingting with his mouth. Sun Tingting was speechless for a while.

Seeing that Sun Tingting had reacted, he stretched out his hand and wanted to throw it again, Xiao Yao quickly swallowed the food in his mouth, stretched his left hand forward and made a stop gesture, pointed to the rose cake in front of Sun Tingting with his right hand and said seriously: "No Throw it away, I can't guarantee that I can still catch it. Sister Di will be angry if you throw food and waste things here!"

"You..." Seeing Xiao Yao like this, Sun Tingting suddenly couldn't laugh or cry.

After a day of playing around with Sun Tingting in "Grandpa's Secret Garden", Xiao Yao seemed to be fully charged with electricity. In the following week, the studio also arranged various preparations for the MV shooting, and on the weekend, Xiao Yao also devoted himself to the MV shooting with great enthusiasm.

The first filming was the MV of "The Drunken Concubine". The filming location was the old house where Mei Qingchang lived and a Peking Opera Theatre. Besides Xiao Yao, a ten-year-old disciple and grandson of Mei Qingchang was invited. and an apprentice in his twenties.

The content of the mv of this song is probably about a child who has great enthusiasm for Peking Opera since he was a child. He was obsessed with Peking Opera Tsing Yi since he was a child. The story on the Peking Opera stage. There will be some shots of Xiao Yao singing in modern clothes interspersed in the middle, roughly playing the role of a narration in the whole story. It is roughly similar to Li Yugang's version of the mv in the previous life, except that Xiao Yao was not interested in actually painting Tsing Yi makeup and wearing Tsing Yi costumes to dance that Peking Opera, so he invited an apprentice of Mei Qingchang to complete the children's growth The more professional Peking Opera makeup and action shooting of the part after adulthood.

In essence, this mv is also a positive publicity for Peking Opera practitioners. Whether it is the dedication and hard work of children to Peking Opera, or the beauty on stage when they grow up, they are all the inheritance of the national quintessence of Peking Opera. Therefore, Mei Qingchang showed great support for the filming of this mv, not only providing great convenience in terms of venue and personnel, but also enthusiastically serving as a professional consultant for some plots involving Beijing opera in this mv and art direction.

In this mv, Xiao Yao only needs to shoot a few scenes of standing in Mei Qingchang’s yard and singing to the camera. Since the mv must have sound effects in the later stage, there is no need for on-site recording, so Xiao Yao doesn’t have to worry about singing by himself. How is it going, or even don't really sing it at all, just lip-synthesizing. This can be regarded as extremely easy for him. Therefore, among the three actors, Xiao Yao's shots were also the first to be filmed.

Xiao Yao, who finished shooting his own shots, did not leave, but stayed in the film crew very actively to help. Xiao Yao has worked with Xiao Chengru in many film and television crews since he was a child, and has a certain understanding of the work of various departments in the crew. However, Xiao Yao never understood how to coordinate and direct the director work of these departments. This time, Xiao Yao focused on learning and understanding how the director directs these different departments to realize his ideas.

When Xiao Yao was a child with Xiao Chengru in the crew, Xiao Chengru also asked Xiao Yao if he wanted to be a director when he grew up. At that time, Xiao Yao's first reaction was to refuse, and when he answered Xiao Chengru, he said the same thing: "It seems that the whole crew has to take care of everything. It feels so tiring and troublesome." But now Xiao Yao has grown up, and also It has been determined that he will continue to develop in the entertainment industry in the future, so Xiao Yao, who likes to control everything by himself, naturally directs is also a career he wants to try. Of course, being a director is not so easy, nor is it so easy to be a director. Then it is a very good choice to start learning from the mv director who needs to control less things. After all, apart from commercials, mv should be the simplest, much easier than controlling a film and television crew.

With a strong memory, Xiao Yao's learning ability has always been beyond doubt. In the middle of the morning on Saturday, Xiao Yao's own shots had already been filmed. From then on, Xiao Yao started to fight with the mv director who is said to be well-known in the industry and has his own style. For more than half a day after the first day, Xiao Yao was basically another scene reporter of the MV crew. And when he started shooting Peking Opera scenes the next day, Xiao Yao had already become the assistant director of the entire film crew.

After all the shooting tasks were over, Xiao Yao enthusiastically followed the director, editor, and soundtrack engineer into the studio to watch and learn the post-production work such as editing and soundtrack of the entire MV.

A week later, Xiao Yao started filming the MV for another song "Those Flowers". Xiao Yao is the only actor in this MV, and all of them are shots of him playing and singing in a natural environment and walking through various old streets in the old city. The whole mv has a nostalgic style of folk songs in the 1990s, so it also changed to a director who is famous for his romantic and beautiful picture style. But this time, every time Xiao Yao finished shooting a shot, he ran to the director's side and watched the replay of the shot just shot on the monitor together, and dared to point to the monitor to express his opinions and opinions to the director.

It is actually very taboo for such a teenage young man to run in front of the director and point fingers. But the mv is for the song after all. Xiao Yao also has an identity as the songwriter of the song, and he is the clearest in expressing the meaning of the song. In addition, this shooting idea was also proposed by him, and he may have to add He is the son of the producer, so Xiao Yao is also qualified to discuss the shooting of every shot in the MV with the director. Xiao Yao has been a human being for two generations, and his emotional intelligence is quite testable, so it did not arouse the director's disgust, and the director even took the initiative to teach Xiao Yao a lot during the lively discussion.
