<shooting MV>

When James was about to get out of the car...

After thinking for a while, Abel still took the initiative to mention the secret that was no longer a secret.

When he was talking, his eyes flickered and his fingers were tensely clasping the steering wheel. He thought he was acting calm and composed, but in fact he was more like a pitiful sparrow standing on a telephone pole in the middle of winter and about to freeze. , asked with embarrassment and embarrassment: "You, you won't talk about it everywhere?"

James just opened the car door, stepped out with one foot, and was about to get out of the car.

But after hearing this sentence, he stopped again, turned his head, and looked over with a pair of green eyes half a smile, but paused for a few seconds on purpose, waiting for Abel to become more nervous and apprehensive. , and then triumphantly and arrogantly smirked: "It depends on how nice you are to me in the future, buddy!"

You deserve a beating, you little bastard!

But this answer is more effective for Abel than any similar promise [you can rest assured that I will not say it].

Because this word reveals two meanings.

One layer of meaning means [don’t worry, I won’t break up with you because of this matter]; followed by another layer of meaning is naturally [since we don’t break up, then we are partners, and it’s not good for me to talk about it ].

In the world of adults, the relationship of combining interests is often more trustworthy than empty words.

Abel suddenly relaxed.

He watched the little green-eyed bastard bouncing away, and soon new troubles flooded his mind.

Because, from his emotional point of view, James is really a huge temptation.

He is young, healthy and full of energy, even if he looks like a little hooligan who occasionally swears and causes trouble, he also has a wild animal-like sex appeal and an almost dangerous allure.

But once emotions and work are related, it is not a good thing.

Abel thought irritably but calmly: "I seem to have put too much energy into this band. Maybe, I should sign some other artists?"

He silently decided to keep a safe distance from James as much as possible from today on.

But James knew nothing about Abel's inner struggles.

In other words, even if he knew about it, he probably wouldn't be able to understand it, otherwise, he wouldn't have openly 'provoked' his fans on the TV show back then.

And, seriously...

He hated Abel very much at first, and his attitude was often a bit bad.

This can be seen from the words and deeds that he always provoked the other party repeatedly at the beginning.

Because Abel looked so much like some of the nasty people who had been in his life.

Suits, leather shoes, watches, cars, carrying a serious briefcase, the middle-class elite who thinks that they can be superior by being in the upper class, open their mouths with a contrived BBC radio accent, and their status may have just been promoted for a long time, and they immediately start hypocrisy. Look down on the people at the bottom, and keep saying, 'You are poor because you don't work hard'.

...Go to hell!

Dude, don't judge others by yourself, okay?

Everyone faces a different battlefield!

You won, you were great...

But don't fucking show your superiority in front of others!

This is a bit angry, and the concept is also very extreme.

But if you don't like it, you don't like it.

However, after getting along for a long time, James realized that he had misunderstood.

Abel was not the hypocrite he imagined.

This guy knows how to play tricks, and he also thinks about some commercial deception and hype routines. Apart from the old-fashioned and traditional way of thinking, he lives quite calmly, with clearer goals. He wants to sign the best artist, wants to make money, Want to be famous, want to be a leader in the industry...

Success!

This can be played together.

James especially likes to divide people into two types, those who can play together and those who can't.

As for whether the friends who play together like Japanese men, Japanese women, Japanese horses, Japanese donkeys, Japanese dogs, or Japanese cats, it doesn't matter.

Even if this person likes to cuddle with pigs and roll in shit, he will probably only say, "Go take a shower first, wipe off the shit on your hands, and then shake hands with me."

Lance's evaluation of him is: "The brain is too simple to think about complicated things."

But in any case, Abel's little secret passed away completely silently.

James, who has always been full of trains, has always kept his mouth shut and never leaked a word.

However, when they went to shoot the music video the next day, Abel was nowhere to be seen.

James didn't think much of it at all.

At this time, music videos, that is, MVs, did not have as many fancy tricks as later, and were filmed purely for the promotion of records.Therefore, the shooting process is often not too difficult, and the finished product will be relatively simple.

And because the song I filmed this time is <She is 16 years old this year>.

So, when filming this music video, they inevitably met an actress who was in charge of playing the 16-year-old girl.

At first, James didn't notice the MV's heroine at all.

After all, in his opinion, the music video is still about expressing the music in the final analysis, what kind of plot, the heroine, in the end, it can only be regarded as a lace decoration on the dinner plate.Of course, if the decoration looks good, it can also attract the audience.Can be music!Music should be the focus!You can't lose everything.

But the bass player who is not doing business all day long and has no seriousness noticed the heroine at a glance.

He quietly bumped James with his shoulder, and asked in a low voice, "Tell me, if I go after this girl later, what are my chances of winning?"

Usually when people ask this question, what they want to hear should be encouragement.

Similar to 'Dude, you are the best, don't worry about chasing, you will succeed in no time'!

But James looked up and glanced over there first...

As a result, he was stunned.

Bros!

Do you know who that girl is?

O Kate Winslet! 【Note】

The most beautiful bird flying out of Berkshire, England!

In a few years, she will play a magnificent noble beauty.

On a large ship that was about to sink, the beauty burst into love with the little boy played by Leonardo. They were lingering and lingering until death. Afterwards, because Xiu Enai died so quickly, I could only watch heartbroken. The little boy sank into the sea, and then flew away with his ex-fiance's heart of the ocean.Decades later, she came back again, her silver hair was still elegant, and she brought a granddaughter who was as beautiful as she was back then, and came to tell people a love story. …

The world is amazing!

If it was before being brought back by the angel, James would never have dreamed that he would still be able to come into contact with such a powerful person.

Now, although this girl vaguely has a shadow of a future beauty, she is still just a fledgling young girl.

Her resume is very simple. She has only participated in a few stage performances and filmed a few unknown advertisements. She doesn't have the aura of a superstar around her. It's an amateur part-time job.

But because of the memories of the past, James couldn't control himself at all during the shooting, and couldn't help but keep looking at her...

This caused a little misunderstanding for everyone.

Theo was a little annoyed by this: "Hey, isn't it too much? I just asked you to help me see, but I didn't want you to fall in love with her too!"

"I'm not, I don't! Oh, oh, what do you want me to see? Odds? No, you don't!"

James said sincerely: "Brother! I think it's useless for you to chase her, you don't deserve her at all. Don't stare at me, I really don't want to rob you..."

But when he said that, he couldn't help but look over again.

This performance made Theo blow up: this bastard is too deceitful!

The plot of the MV is very simple (in Lance's opinion, quite retarded).

In order to match the song, the content is that the heroine is over 16 years old.Then, the four members of the band began to court her one by one, trying to find ways to take her out to play, and in the end, the one who succeeded was the character played by Lance.

"Why not me?" James suddenly couldn't help protesting.

Theo immediately snorted coldly at the side, and responded with a vengeance: "Obviously, you don't deserve it."

James just pretended not to hear.

He didn't want to pick up girls, he just wanted to show off, besides, having such an intersection with a future big star, it would be pretty cool to talk about in the future.

But the director resolutely refused: "No, the second half of the song is very gentle, but you don't look like a good man!"

James immediately felt aggrieved and angry: "What the hell are you talking about? I am the best and the best, and I wrote the second half! I don't care what I want."

Theo also followed suit: "Why, I still want it! I want it too."

Baldwin was annoyed by this group of teammates: "Can you stop arguing about everything? What the hell am I joining? A band, or a circus?"

Then, Lance couldn't bear it and yelled: "Shut up the fuck!"

Kate next to her was almost amused by the boys.

At first, she really thought that the band was as rebellious and willful as the media reported. When she came to film MTV, she felt even more uneasy.

But obviously, never trust the gossip media.

The boys were noisy, but when they were working, they honestly finished filming the entire MV according to the director's arrangement.

Many years later, Kate, who has become good friends with the band members, recalled this experience and said: "Jimmy, who seems to be the most difficult to get along with, is actually the best talker. On the contrary, he looks gentle. Lance, although he treats people politely, there is always a sense of cold distance. The black-haired guitarist Mr. has a separate world of his own, and he is very strong in refusing others to enter... Well, but Jimmy Probably an exception. Because, he seems to have a special pass signed by Lance himself?"

<really important>

After filming the MV, James was lucky enough to get on the phone with Kate Winslet and managed to get a phone call.

For this, he looked particularly happy.

Theo was already staring at him angrily.

Of course he doesn't like Kate very much at the moment, but James' behavior is too disrespectful to him, as if the girl he likes, this guy can snatch it at will, without being polite at all.

Of course, James did not take the initiative to call Kate later.

This made Theo mistakenly think that he still valued his brother, so he calmed down again.

But in fact, James' behavior of asking for a phone is a bit like a movie fan asking for an autograph, and it means nothing from the beginning.

As for Theo... he is simply a fool.

In short, after a busy day, the four of them returned to the apartment that the company had rented for them very tired, and went back to their respective rooms, preparing to rest.

But when James was changing his pajamas in his room, he suddenly heard someone talking behind him: "Meet someone you like?"

He turned around in surprise, looked at Lance who was standing at the door who didn't know when he came over, and asked with a puzzled face, "What did you say?"

Lance repeated monotonously with no expression: "Have you met someone you like? The blonde girl who was shooting the MV with us today, you have been staring at her, everyone saw it, didn't you?"

"I just wanted to get to know her..."

"Then, turn her into a girlfriend?"

"Sounds nice, but alas, it's not."

James replied with regret: "We are not the same kind of people, that is a good girl."

Lance looked at him, as if confirming the truth of his words, and finally said, "Remember what you said."

Then, he added a few more explanations: "I don't want to see you and Theo getting into trouble because of women, and I don't want to see other things interfere with our career development. By the way, if you are done, come to my side Come on, I have a few songs I want you to sing."

"Wait, are you kidding me?" James automatically ignored Theo's matter, because robbing women would never happen.

He was shocked by another thing: "Come on, boss! Do you know what time it is? It's almost twelve o'clock the fuck, and you asked me to sing to you? What are you singing? Baby, go to sleep, go to sleep, don't go to sleep Fuck strangle you lullaby?"

Lance burst out laughing: "Okay, you can just sing."

Then James just shut up and there was nothing he could do.

When the black-haired guitarist laughed, his blue eyes looked like a sea in the sun, making people want to jump into it willingly...

There is absolutely no way to refuse.

After another week or so, the finished MV began to be played by a music program on TV at that time.

At this time, naturally no one knew that the young girl in the MV would become an international superstar in the future.

Therefore, everyone paid more attention to the four members of the Planetary Band, especially the blonde lead singer and black-haired guitarist who played a relatively heavy role.

Although in the MV plot, the two acted anxiously as a pair of rivals in love.

But every time they appear together in the scene, the scene is very harmonious and interesting.

For example, there is a scene where...

Lance was wearing a suit and walked forward very calmly on the street.James came out from behind and ran all the way in front of him. Then, while turning around to talk to him, he went around from left to right, and occasionally jumped onto the roadside steps, jumping up and down lively. It sounds so funny...

Especially at the end, it was obvious that the two walked forward side by side, but there was still a clear difference in their backs.

When the black-haired guitarist walks, he always walks steadily, and his upper body seldom shakes; as for the blonde lead singer, he is like a rabbit, jumping once and then jumping after taking two steps.

But the magic is that the atmosphere between the two people is so good.

The two of them have no acting skills at all, but there is an atmosphere inexplicably, the kind of good friends who seem to be super tacit understanding at first glance, and they don't feel like rivals in love at all.

Therefore, although this scene only appeared for less than 30 seconds, most fans still like to watch it.

What's more, instead of watching them sing and whistle to the MV heroine they don't know, it's better to just watch them chatting on the main road and walking forever.

As for the other two members...

Drummer Baldwin, as always, hid himself behind everyone. Because those drums were too troublesome to move, there was only one handsome drumming shot, and he didn’t appear again in a low-key manner at other times; Theo had relatively more shots this time , from time to time squatting at the door of the heroine's house and playing the bass, he looks like a pervert, but he is really handsome.

Such a good-looking band as a whole, the songs are beautiful, and the scene is wonderful...

Fans from all over the country started a new wave of enthusiastic letters.

The Mixer company was almost overwhelmed by these letters, but it was not an option to always pile them up in the company.

Therefore, the staff had to help them do some preliminary sorting, and then drove all the letters to their homes.

Lance had the most indifferent attitude towards letters.

Although he wouldn't throw it away casually, he didn't bother to look at it, and threw it all into a pile in the utility room.

Baldwin and Theo are somewhat similar in this respect.

The two of them open a few envelopes when they are interested, and throw them aside when they are not interested.

The person with the best attitude towards fans is James.

Not only did he often open letters to read, but occasionally he wrote a reply clumsily.

For a dyslexic, it is really difficult to write a reply letter with correct typos.

But he went to write anyway.

Until one day, Abel, who wanted to keep a distance from the little bastard, came to the door exhausted physically and mentally.

He said frantically, "Please, Jimmy, can you stop giving the fans advice?"

Lance and the others looked at him in confusion: "What? What happened? What's your idea?"

Then, Abel pointed at James angrily and told everyone: "This bastard wrote a letter to instigate fans to fight in groups!!"

"Is there such a thing?" James blinked innocently, looking completely unimpressed.

Abel immediately angrily mentioned a name to remind him.

James bowed his head and thought for a long time before pulling out something from the depths of his memory: "Oh, there is such a person. He said that he has been bullied at school. I seem to have introduced some of my experience to him."

"What experience have you had?"

Lance repeated in a strange tone.

James naturally began to introduce: "Actually, it's just a little gimmick. For example, when you are beaten, remember to scream, how miserable it is! You know, it's usually fools who do it. When you start screaming, as long as you are not a perverted murderer, the other party will definitely feel guilty and afraid, thinking anxiously, 'Fuck, nothing will happen', thinking like this, you dare not do it again. However, next That's the point..."

He said excitedly: "After successfully passing this level, you have to find a way to get revenge, or you will continue to be bullied. At this time, it is best to find some friends to do it together. If there are brothers and sisters in the family The best, that is the most natural ally. Don’t be afraid if you don’t have one, just find a way to make friends. If you have good academic performance, you can help people with their homework; if you don’t know anything, try to tell jokes; Spend money to buy thugs... Anyway, don't be cowardly! Find more people to fight back together! Fuck him! Fuck him! After he bleeds a few times, he will never dare to mess with you again in this life!"

Abel choked on hearing this.

But he found sadly that he might not be able to criticize this kid at all.

Because every word of James is not made up or made up.

He grew up savagely since he was a child, but what he said was all his real life experience and life experience.

If someone says, "This is wrong, it shouldn't be."

He didn't understand: "Why is it wrong, shouldn't it be? That's how I survived?"

You reason with him...

It's almost like telling a feral cat: "Hey, stop catching mice, mice are too dirty, let's eat nutritious cat food instead."

Then, the feral cat will stare at you silently with round green eyes, thinking you are a big fool.

In the end, Abel silently took away all letters from James' fans: "Okay, I'll help you write back, and you'll pretend it's nothing like this in the future!"

"I believe you can take it away, but you have to give me the chocolate you sent me later."

"……chocolate?"

"Yeah, we agreed. There's Ellie, and I'll send her ten autographs, and she'll have to send me a box of chocolates."

"...you fucking have the face to ask fans for chocolate!!!"

"I didn't want it, it was an equivalent exchange."

"..."

Abel later bought him ten boxes of chocolates in exchange for the occasional shut-up.

However, the saddest thing is...

This band has never been alone in its problems.

The next day, a reporter praised their performance in the MV and praised them for being handsome...

However, Lance asked back unexpectedly: "Excuse me, is the name of our band still Planet?"

"what?"

The reporter was immediately bewildered and asked inexplicably.

"Oh, it seems I misunderstood."

Lance said calmly, "I just thought we'd been renamed P-Boy!"

James immediately burst out laughing.

He stretched out his arms, put his arms around his guitarist's neck, and kissed him hard on the cheek!

Sober up guys!

Don't worry about the recent gossip anymore.

We're a rock band, not some fucking idol singer.

The MV can be shot, the publicity can be done, it doesn't matter if the hype is necessary!

Everyone is not so noble!

but……

music!music!music!

That is what should be valued, the only thing that cannot be given up, the one that must be adhered to, the existence for which the blood flows and the heart beats.

Everything but the music...

None of it matters!

The author has something to say:

[Note] Kate's age is wrong. In this article, she is a little two or three years younger. You can only read it as a parallel time and space.

Some plots of real people are purely made up, please don't research (for example, I think Kate, the goddess of drama school, probably doesn't like MTV).

PS. The character of the main character in the article is flawed. Well, those who know me well know that I like flawed characters (I wrote about the protagonist’s bad attitude towards Abel in the previous article. At that time, some readers saw it and asked me 23333, I did not answer).
