Entertaining Children

  Chapter 369 Four Versions

  Three days later, Gong Chen and Xiao Siqi recorded the two songs separately, and Ye Jiaying also delivered the two songs to the director and producer of the crew on time.

XY’s works have a reputation. The quality of the songs is excellent and well matched to the plot. Xiao Siqi and Gong Chen are veteran singers in the music industry, and the other is a powerful newcomer with high topicality recently, so these two songs are also very smooth. Was selected by the director and producer of the TV series "Golden Sword and Fairy" and became the opening and closing songs of this TV series respectively.

  At this time, the filming work of the crew has been completed, and the whole drama has begun to enter post-production. After determining the two songs as the opening and closing songs, the producer and director also used the already filmed material as the basis, and added some video clips provided by Qijia Studio that they recorded in the studio. , Accompanied by songs, made two MVs, which were first released on the Internet in the form of trailers.

This is the first time that Xiao Siqi has sang for a film and television work. Gong Chen is also a very topical character recently. In addition, since the filming of the show has already done enough publicity work, these two MVs have come out. After that, it was also very eye-catching and attracted a lot of attention.

The producer took advantage of the good response of the two MV promotional films, and also took advantage of the opportunity to invite Xiao Siqi and Gong Chen to join the promotional lineup of this TV series, and invited them to participate in a lot of the main roles of the actors in the series. Publicity activities.

In addition to Xiao Siqi and Gong Chen, the producers of this show were also very interested in XY, the creator of the two songs. They also mentioned that they wanted XY to show up and participate in some publicity activities. As a result, Xiao Siqi was directly involved. Refused.

Gong Chen is able to sing the ending song of a TV series that has received much attention nowadays, and he also appeared on various shows to promote the TV series with the boss Xiao Siqi and the stars and actors in the play. Those Gong Chen fans who made dissatisfaction with Qijia Studio naturally also There is no more to say. It is important to know that China’s most popular audience is TV series, and being able to sing the ending songs of popular TV series is not much worse than that of albums for her.

  Xiao Siqi and Gong Chen went to promote the TV series, and Xiao Yao, who had nothing to disturb him, finally set up his own MV shooting crew and started his own MV shooting and production.

  Since Gong Chen was pulled by the TV series producer to do a promotion, Xiao Yao changed the original filming plan and filmed the electronic music version of "faded".

  The two versions of the MV of "faded" in Xiaoyao's plan are based on the original version of the previous life. He is the only actor from the beginning to the end of the electronic version, and Gong Chen and violinists will appear in the string version.

In the plot, the electronic music version of the MV is that the protagonist searches for the house on the old photo in his hand based on various scenes such as empty streets, houses, warehouses, empty fields, and railways, but only finds a broken wall. The ruined process.

  In addition to the plot, Xiao Yao's dressing up in the MV also continued his dress up in a black hooded sweater and hooded mask from his previous life Alan Walker during his live performances. But in the scene, Xiao Yaoke could not fully replicate the buildings and environment in the previous MV. However, whether it is abandoned houses and warehouses to be demolished, or empty fields and abandoned railways, similar scenes are not lacking in China, even in the remote suburbs around Yanjing. After a period of hard searching, Xiao Yao also succeeded in finding those scenes that gave him a similar feeling in the original MV of his previous life.

  The overall style, scene and plot are roughly the same as the original MV of the previous life, and most of Xiao Yaohua’s thoughts are placed on the details. The first is the detailed application and processing of light, color and picture composition in the MV. As a photographer, Xiao Yao is very experienced and knowledgeable in these aspects. The pictures taken are more beautiful and appealing than the previous one. The MV is much stronger. Secondly, compared to the slightly monotonous running action of the protagonist in the previous MV, Xiao Yao, who brought parkour to this life, also added some more ornamental parkour actions without affecting the overall style of the MV. Although due to the style of the MV, slow motion is used in many of the action images, which cannot reflect the speed and fluency of parkour, the elegant beauty of the action alone is enough to make people's eyes bright.

  After the filming and production of this electronic version of the MV, Xiao Yao did not upload it to the domestic video website or the music channel of the TV station, but directly uploaded it to the international video website of PV. Because of the parkour action in the MV, Xiao Yao also reposted the MV video on his own channel with the account of his parkour veteran team YRF.

After Xiao Yao completed the filming and production of the electronic version of the MV, and uploaded it to a foreign video website, the publicity work of the TV series that Gong Chen participated in also came to an end temporarily, so Xiao Yao contacted him without stopping. Good violinists and Gong Chen started shooting the string version MV together.

Different from the many scenes in the electronic version, the string version basically only has two scenes where the pianist plays the piano and Gong Chen and the string player perform together, and they are all indoors, so Xiao Yao rented an empty old man. The old warehouse, after some decoration and care, put the entire MV in that warehouse for shooting.

  The plot and overall style of this string version of the MV is still consistent with the original version of the previous life. Xiao Yao still made some adjustments in light, color, composition and other details according to his own ideas. There is no running action in this MV, so Xiao Yao can't add parkour action. In terms of dressing, Gong Chen’s chord musicians still maintained the same look they had in the show. Xiao Yao himself is no exception. Even the pianist playing the piano in the original version originally showed his face, and Xiao Yao also It was changed to a masked finish.

After the   string version was completed, Xiao Yao temporarily held it in his hand for a while, and did not rush to make it public like the electronic version. He intends to wait for the electronic version to be fermented first, and then send the string version to those who are not used to listening to electronic music. Similarly, Xiao Yao’s string version of the MV is not going to be released in China, but is going to continue to be uploaded to foreign video sites such as PV. The song in the previous life was popular and popular all over the world, and Xiao Yao's vision was also aimed at foreign countries from the very beginning.

  From the production to the release of this song, Xiao Yao did not intend to use any of the studio's resources. The two versions of the MV he made also used the money on his private account to cover the expenses. He wants to use his own way and strength to push this song to the world.

  In addition to the two official MVs for electronic music and string music, Xiao Yao’s development of the "faded" version has not yet ended. Just considering that he has already used his own money to shoot two MVs in a row, the cost is not small, and he has plans to make short films during the summer vacation. He has to reserve some financial preparations for the summer vacation short film plan. The follow-up new version Xiao Yao The cost is much less.

  The guitar is a very powerful instrument. In a previous life, a Singaporean girl once became popular on the Internet with a cover of Uncle Bird’s "Jiangnan Style". In addition to her appearance, the novelty, fun and good-sounding of the pure guitar version is a more important factor. Since she can sing "Jiangnan Style" purely with a guitar to create a novel and special taste, Xiao Yao believes that playing "faded" with a guitar alone should also be a very special and fun thing.

  So, Xiao Yao shot a pure music video of the guitar solo version of "faded" to the camera at home. Of course, Xiao Yao in the video is still the only one in black, dressed in a hood and mask, because I posted "The LazySong" that I shot on Weibo, and some of the furnishings in Xiao Yao's room have been exposed on the Internet. Xiao Yao This time the self-portrait "faded" was also specially changed to my piano room.

  In addition to the pure guitar version, Xiao Yao also tinkered with an electronic drum performance version. Electronic drums are only a rhythm instrument, but they cannot play the melody of "faded" alone like a guitar. Therefore, Xiao Yao’s electronic drum performance version is based on the original "faded" as background music, and there is an electronic drum performance show. This version of Xiao Yao also intends to present it as a self-portrait video, but this version of Xiao Yao did not intend to shoot at home, but moved the electronic drum to a yellow grass surrounded by woods, and aimed at him with two fixed cameras. Filming, and then editing and stitching the drum shots taken by two cameras at different angles, and then adding them to the sound of the performance at the time.

Among the four versions, only one of Gong Chen’s figure appeared, and only two of his voices appeared. This also reflects that Xiao Yao said that this song was not Gong Chen’s, but his own, and he wanted to put this song on himself. Branded intent.

  After producing four different versions of MVs and videos in a row, Xiao Yao’s enthusiasm for the song "faded" in a short period of time finally dissipated. At this time, it's May, and it's a long holiday, the May Day holiday.

Throughout April, Gong Chen first had a scandal and then involved the termination of the contract to change the club, and then released a new single for various promotions, followed by singing the ending song of the TV series and promoting the TV series, and also helped Xiao Yao make a MV. The above is so busy. In contrast, whether it is popularity and popularity, Gong Chen's rate of improvement is also quite fast.

  The development momentum was good this month, and Gong Chen did not relax and rest afterwards. At the end of April, the studio received another invitation to Gong Chen from a music reality show. In addition to Gong Chen, Xiao Siqi and Xiao Yao also received another invitation from this program group, hoping that they can participate with Gong Chen.

  This is a competition music program. In each issue, singers will be eliminated and left, and new singers will join midway. In view of Gong Chen's popularity in the media and entertainment circles in April, the program team also temporarily decided to put Gong Chen on the list of singers halfway through.

  Before the recording of the show started, the show team had sent out invitations to Xiao Siqi and Xiao Yao to participate in the show, and they were already on the list of candidate singers for the show. Xiao Siqi himself is not very interested in participating in reality TV shows, but Xiao Yao is not very repulsive to participating in reality TV shows. But at that time he was writing songs, recording songs, going to school, and filming MVs, so naturally he didn't have the energy to participate.

  Now the program team has decided to invite Gong Chen to join in midway, so it took the opportunity to once again invite Xiao Siqi and Xiao Yao. Xiao Siqi's situation and attitude have not changed much, but Xiao Yao's writing songs, recording songs and shooting MVs has come to an end, which happens to be another May Day holiday. Just to participate in this episode recorded on May 3rd, Xiao Yao should have no problem in terms of time and energy. Therefore, Fang Still, the agent who has already entered the role, asked Xiao Yao conscientiously whether he was willing to go to the show with Gong Chen for the previous episode.
