Chapter 184 Stop shooting
Originally, Xu Xian's hairstyle was to be made into a high square on the head, but now it is much more pleasing to the eye. Two braids are tied behind the head, and the bangs on the forehead are also pulled up, revealing a smooth forehead.
Although the overall look of the album is to be retro, Seohyun is so young, so retro also requires a retro student hairstyle. After spending more than an hour quietly, the girls' styles were completely completed.
Next, the group of people rushed to the MV shooting location. The three girls got into the nanny car, and Lee Menglong followed behind in Lee Soonkyu's Hyundai.
The shooting location was a rented studio in the suburbs of Seoul. Several scenes had been set up, including a dressing room, piano background, stage background, etc.
Because Li Menglong knew that he was going to shoot the MV today, he reviewed his homework in advance. According to his relatively simple understanding: Korean idols' MVs all have to incorporate dance into it.
Companies without money simply perform two or three sets of dances with different costumes and backgrounds, switching back and forth. Those who have more money will build some luxurious scenes and try to fill in as much plot as possible. Today's girls are obviously in a more luxurious stage.
Li Menglong, who had seen movies and Lao Luo's variety shows, was a little surprised to see that so many people were needed to shoot a music video, but he immediately knew that he had been cheated.
One-fifth of the people at the scene were dancers, one-fifth were in costume and make-up, and one-fifth were people like Seohyun who came to perform seriously, so the actual staff of the mv team were just that. Just a dozen or so, small scale is fine.
It's also because Li Menglong doesn't understand the market. In Korea, if it wasn't for a movie or TV series director who owed him a favor, he wouldn't come to shoot the MV even if he killed him.
Correspondingly, once you fall into the MV circle, even if you are too poor or something, it will be difficult for you to come ashore again.
Therefore, it can be said responsibly that the directors who shoot music videos in Korea are the bottom workers in the industry who cannot support themselves and make movies.
Li Menglong had nothing to do here. He was just following Xu Xian. Wherever she went, Li Menglong would follow her. However, when he walked into a certain room, he was pushed out by Kim Taeyeon and pointed at the "dressing room" at the door. Three people showed him.
"I didn't mean it. Besides, the door was closed just now!" Li Menglong muttered quietly and could only stand at the door boredly. However, when the girls finished changing, all the waiting was worth it.
She is wearing an eye-catching retro sequined outfit, which is really reflective, but it is digested by the girl very well. The lower body is naturally a short skirt that will remain unchanged for thousands of years, so there is no need to discuss it.
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen Lee Mong-ryong look a little silly. Kim Taeyeon was once again confident of her charm: “Sure enough, it’s because she doesn’t wear makeup at all times!”
When passing by Li Menglong, he turned around in confusion. His long golden wavy hair brushed Li Menglong's cheek, and an intoxicating fragrance hit him thickly and lingered for a long time.
When Li Menglong got rid of his stupid state and found the girls, he found that they were saying hello to the director of the music video. Naturally, their attitude was silent, but the director's tone was a bit questionable.
"I'm in a hurry. You'd better do it all at once. Don't delay, you know? You have to work hard to dance!" The director kept looking at his watch while speaking, as if he was really anxious.
Kim Taeyeon and even Lee Menglong are used to being scolded by several people. This does not mean that it can be avoided through anyone's efforts.
After all, idols are just treasures in the hands of fans. In the big environment of the entertainment industry, what does it matter if you are a girl? You are still an idol after all.
So the PD of the variety show can train you, the staff can ignore you, and even the director of this kind of music video can manipulate you. In short, Li Menglong really can't do anything about this situation, it can only be said to be a bad habit.
But relatively speaking, the girls are doing a lot better. After all, they have high status and beautiful people. But occasionally they can only tolerate it when they encounter such a director.
After the three people bowed and said hello, they walked to the rented Rolls-Royce nearby, looked at each other and curled their lips, and then quickly adjusted their mentality and expressions.
Li Menglong hid behind the director's monitor, watching the girls' performances, nodding secretly.
This director's level is still there, from the use of lenses to the control of the scene's rhythm, everything is on the average, but except for this temper.
"Are your feet pampered? Don't you know that the first shot is to shoot your feet first? Show them boldly!" He didn't even shout cut, but just stormed Kim Taeyeon.
Because the team was all temporary, there was no one acquainted with the director on set, and Park Xiangmin was scared away by Li Menglong, so we could only wait together for the director to vent his evil anger. Li Menglong stood behind and swayed for a while, but he still held back. After all, the idea was good. As a mature man, even if he was with Kim Taeyeon day and night, when he saw the lotus feet, he was a little confused. The urge to step forward and play.
The ability of girls who have experienced many battles to adjust their emotions is first-rate. A scene from inside a car is passed through in one shot. Of course, in Li Menglong's eyes, there are still many flaws. After all, he learned from Li Zhouyong, who strives for excellence.
However, Li Menglong and the makeup artist on the side gathered around him at the same time. They were touching up the makeup of the girls, and he pushed aside the candies and stuffed them into them. At the same time, he whispered in a low voice: "The effect is still very good. Yes, please be patient!”
The one who answered him was a roll of eyes from Kim Taeyeon. What they experienced back then was much more exciting than what they are experiencing now, and being scolded a few times didn't make them need comfort.
Next was a member of a male group named Chanyeol, who pretended to be a reporter and took a few solo shots, pretending to take pictures of the girls. It was obvious that this person was another highly praised figure in the group.
Three girls stood on the steps, and several dancers came from behind. Li Menglong finally saw the dance of the ribbon version of this song.
Li Menglong just wanted to say that compared with the version in the practice room, it is like the difference between a celebrity and a square dancer. Even with the dance, the melody sounds a lot better.
Of course, there are a lot of embarrassing parts, because this song has a lot of twists and turns. Basically, every few sentences have to be revealed at the end, so the girls’ few brain cells are burned so hard that the only thing they have to write more about is The youngest is still focused on studying.
Sure enough, Li Menglong couldn't stand it anymore, and the director couldn't stand it anymore: "You guys are still not stars? You can't even pose, right? Why are you releasing a new album?"
There was another round of dirty words, and this time he had a good reason to curse even more fiercely. Li Menglong stared at the back of the other person's head behind him, unable to hold back his fingers.
Fortunately, the boy stopped again and rested for a few minutes before reshooting. This time the girls performed well, but the director received a call midway.
Li Menglong's eyes were fixed on the monitor, but his ears were listening to the director's grandson-like dialogue: "Nene, brother, please wait for me, I'll go over now!"
Although I couldn't hear the voice of the other party on the phone, judging from the director's answer, there must be some great opportunity that conflicted with the girls' music video shooting, and it seemed that this boy was going to choose that opportunity.
So the director directly kicked the monitor over and threw down the script in his hands to several girls in the distance: "What kind of things are they acting? Did the **** cultivate a girl group like you? It's almost impossible to shoot a MV for you. It’s just discrediting my existence. Go back and give me a good look before you come over. No more photos!”
After saying that, he was about to walk out. No one at the scene spoke, but Li Menglong couldn't watch this blame being thrown on the girls.
So he jogged two steps and stopped the other party directly. When he saw that he was about to get angry, Li Menglong directly slapped his shoulder: "I'm not an employee of **, so you don't have to use that method against me!"
The director was stupid, things were so weird, he could use his identity as a director to manipulate the staff of Girls' Generation and **, but why did Li Menglong pick on him?
"Let's just talk about the matter. I'm not unreasonable. I can scold them if they don't shoot well. No one can say anything. But what's going on with your move? ** Didn't they sign a contract with you? Is there liquidated damages? Can you afford the compensation?" Li Menglong said clearly, without arguing with the other party about the girls. After all, it would be difficult for the girls.
Instead, he held on to the details of the contract. No one would care how angry you wanted to be. You couldn't leave anyway. If you left, you would have breached the contract, and if you breached the contract, you would have to pay money!
The fact that the director can be called to shoot the girls' music video proves that he is a top person in the music video industry, which means that he has the capital to shoot a TV series. Today's opportunity is just like this. He is going to make a temporary agreement with an investor. Business meeting.
In the end, it was all his responsibility, but he originally wanted to leave the responsibility to the girls. As long as he could just walk out of this door, he could continue to come back tomorrow to scold the girls and shoot the MV at the same time. After all, it was all Kim Taeyeon and the others. wrong.
But now, as he looked at everyone who was gradually understanding, he hesitated again and again, but still felt that the opportunity for the TV series was more important. If the worst happened here, he would just lose money: "Get out of the way, I will deal with it with the police, not you! ”
Li Menglong was really being reasonable. People were willing to pay the money and leave. Why did he stop him? So he smiled and smoothed the wrinkles on the other person's shoulders: "I'm sorry just now. Come on, try not to shoot the MV again!"
Ignoring Li Menglong's intention at all, the director left in a hurry, leaving a bunch of staff standing there at a loss as to what was going on.
"A few people will come with me to carry the drinks. Girls' Generation will treat everyone to a drink. Let's take a rest. There should be news from the company!" Li Menglong stood up and called a few people to distribute the drinks to everyone.
I found a few more clothes and handed them to the girls, and then they stared at each other with big eyes, "What is going on!"
