Xiao Yao''s first task in the new year is to shoot the MV of sing me to sleep.


    The music style of this song and "faded" is similar, and the MV style of the two previous songs is the same. In terms of plot and story, the two can be said to be a continuation. After Xiao Yao brought these two songs to the world, no matter the music or the MV, there was no change in the style. What changed was only the singer and the shooting location of the MV.


    The previous MV of "faded" was shot abroad. Xiao Yao didn''t want to go abroad. In order to shoot an MV, he changed the shooting location to Yanjing. The previous MV of sing me to sleep was shot in Hong Kong. Although Xiao Yao is not unable to go to Hong Kong Island in this life, he has no intention to go to the original place in the previous life to shoot. Instead, he put the shooting location of this MV in Shencheng. On the one hand, it is convenient to be nearby. On the other hand, Xiao Yao thinks that Shencheng is no worse than Hong Kong Island. Whether it''s the bright night view of the modern city with skyscrapers, or the old-fashioned, civilian life and street view, there is no shortage in Shencheng. He believes that in Shencheng, he can also photograph the feeling of confusion, exploration and search.


    On the first day of the new year, Xiao Yao strolled around the streets of Shencheng, looking for suitable shooting scenes. Although he has studied and worked in Shanghai for more than ten years in his previous life, and now he has spent more than four months in Shencheng, including taking photos, taking art exams and studying in Shenxi opera recently. He is absolutely no stranger to this city, but in order to find all the suitable scenes in the MV, Xiao Yao spent a whole day. Next, Xiao Yao is to complete the shooting part of this MV in the remaining two days of new year''s Day holiday.


    The MV of "sing me to sleep" in Xiao Yao''s plan is the same as that in previous lives. It has only one version, unlike "faded", which has two versions of MV: the special string version and the pure electronic version. The plot of MV continues the story of "faded" audio version of MV, and the theme is still searching. Although there is no singer and chord player in the picture like "faded" string version MV, it is not his solo play like the electronic version MV.


    The MV of this song is replaced by three protagonists, two men and one woman, wandering in different places of the city, and gathering together according to the clues given to them by three people of different occupations in the city. So in terms of actors, in addition to himself, Xiao Yao also has to find two leading roles and two or three long Tao actors.


    As for the heroine, Xiao Yao plans to let Gong Chen play. Anyway, the faces of several leading characters in the MV screen are not completely and clearly exposed, so it doesn''t matter who uses them. As for the other leading actor, Xiao Yao simply asked Lin Qisan for help. Brother, it''s unnecessary.


    In addition, there are three people who provide clues, that is, the three actors in the MV. In the original MV, these three people are beggars on the footbridge, taxi drivers and Fu, a teacher from a printing factory. Xiao Yao found it difficult to find the actor and scene of the old master of the printing factory, so he changed the three people who provided clues into a busker, a taxi driver and a young old-fashioned grocery store clerk. Xu Yuan, Sha Zhou and Nina aiguli, who are free during the new year''s Day holiday and still stay in Shencheng, play the roles of the three dragon Taos.


    In the original version of MV, the three protagonists are masked, the beggar wears a hat with his head down, the taxi driver only shows an arm that has passed the clue paper, and only the printer shows the whole face. In Xiao Yao''s shooting plan, the three protagonists are still masked, but all of them show their faces. He thinks such a comparison is more interesting.


    In shooting, because most of the scenes of the whole MV are in the bustling street, Xiao Yao doesn''t want to contact the relevant departments to seal the road and field on the street, and finds a group of mass actors to act as passers-by for special shooting. He wants the actors to mix into the real passers-by, pretend to be tourists with handheld high-definition DV, and use the behavior similar to sneak shooting to get what they need Street shots.


    Most of the shots of the three protagonists are separated, and each protagonist in the middle is only in contact with a dragon role. The last one with the largest number is that the three protagonists gather together. In the whole plot, six actors will not appear in the same frame. The six actors Xiao Yao is looking for, including himself, are three students from the performance department and three singers. Although there is no serious professional photographer, there is no problem for them to operate the handheld DV.


    So Xiao Yao even saved the shooting team this time, so he and others took turns shooting with DV. Although there will be some shaking in the shot, what Xiao Yao wants is a more realistic effect.


    On a pedestrian overpass on Fengyi road in Shencheng City, Xu Yuan looked at the people coming and going, and said to Xiao Yao nervously, "do you really want to perform in the street here?" When Xiao Yao asked her to help shoot the MV, she agreed without saying a word, but she really wanted to start shooting, and she was inexplicably worried.


    "Aren''t you afraid?" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "you''ve seen a lot of big scenes. You''ve been singing in bars before. Are you scared on the street?""But I have never done such a thing before!" Xu Yuan some wronged cry way.


    A star singer acting as a busker on the street? Not everyone has no psychological barrier like Xiao Yao.


    "Or we''ll change roles." Shazhou suggested, "I''ll play a busker, and Xu Yuan will play a taxi driver."


    "Teacher Shazhou, have you ever seen such a young and beautiful taxi driver as Xu Yuan?" Gong Chen looked at Sha Zhou and said with a smile, "you just want to take the opportunity to play Xiao Yao''s hand dish, don''t you?"


    Since it''s a busker, Xiao Yao just put his hand disc in. The busker who arranged for Xu Yuan to perform is playing hand disc in the street. Xu Yuan can play musical instruments. After the new year''s Eve, Xiao Yao gave Xu yuan a lot of playing skills and methods. On January 1, Xiao Yao went to see the shooting scenes everywhere, while Xu Yuan practiced in the hotel room for a day. Although he was not as skilled as Xiao Yao, he played a few songs that he had heard in the past completely, which was quite a model.


    "Ha ha, I really want to play, but mainly Xu Yuan dare not?" The sandbank that was seen through was not embarrassed. He just looked at Xu Yuan and said, "Xiao Yao said that we can''t just spend two days shooting, can we?"


    "Who said I didn''t dare?" Excited by the sandbar, Xu Yuan finally got up his courage, took the handplate to the middle part of the overpass near one side of the railing, sat on the ground with his knees crossed, put the handplate on his legs, pulled the hat on the sweater on his head with both hands, and played with his head down.


    "All right!" Xiao Yao watched as Xu Yuan began to perform in the street. He said to Lin Qisan and Nina, who were holding high-definition DV, "are you clear about the position and camera angle just now? Let''s start! " With that, Xiao Yao pulls the towel on his neck back to his face and puts on the hat on his clothes.


    Lin Qisan and Nina aiguli both nod their heads. Nina stands by the railings of about a quarter of the overpass, leaning against the railings and lifting her DV, while Lin Qisan stands three or five meters in front of Xiao Yao with her DV. As Xiao Yao starts to walk towards Xu Yuan from one end of the overpass, Lin Qisan holds the DV and walks back to shoot Xiao Yao, while Nina aiguli stands with the DV lens to follow Xiao Yao''s figure for fixed-point shooting. Lin Qisan is wearing a black sweater, no mask, but sunglasses. Nina is wearing casual clothes, even no disguise. The two people holding DV look more like young tourists taking DV to shoot city travel records.


    Xiao Yao looks around and passes by Xu Yuan. When he sees Xu Yuan, Lin Qisan''s DV camera captures a trace of doubt in his eyes. Xiao Yao also stops and returns to stand in front of Xu Yuan. At this time, there are two or three passers-by attracted by Xu Yuan''s performance in front of Xu Yuan. However, Xu Yuan has been playing the musical instrument with her head down regardless. When she sees Xiao Yao''s shoes, she suddenly raises her head, takes a close look at Xiao Yao, then stops her performance, takes out a folded piece of paper from her clothes and hands it to Xiao Yao.


    Lin Qisan''s DV shot not only shows Xu Yuan''s face when he looks up, but also gives a close-up of the Chinese characters on the paper. Xiao Yao took the paper and looked at it. After putting it away, he turned and continued to walk towards the other end of the pedestrian overpass. Lin Qisan stopped, did not continue to shoot in front of Xiao Yao, but took a picture of Xiao Yao leaving.


    "What is this for?" This kind of strange behavior of several people naturally caused some curiosity of passers-by. Some people even looked at Xu Yuan and Xiao Yao who had left and began to murmur.


    "Withdraw!" Lin Qisan saw that Xiao Yao''s confession had been completed, closed the preview screen of DV, gave Xu yuan a look, and followed Xiao Yao quickly to the stairs on the side of the footbridge.


    Xu Yuan''s reaction is not slow, watching the two people leave one after another, he immediately stood up, picked up the handplate and ran to the stairs at one end of the footbridge.


    Nina aiguli on the other side also puts away the DV, joins Shazhou and Gong Chen, who are watching at the other end, and quickly leaves the pedestrian overpass from the stairs over there.


    "Do you feel that the musical instrument played by that girl just now is very strange, as if you haven''t seen it before?" Some passers-by looked at Xu Yuan''s back and asked his friends.


    "I don''t think I have... No, I have!" My friend patted his thigh and said, "I remember. That''s the hand dish that was played at the new year''s Eve party."


    "That''s true!" Another passer-by who had also seen Xu Yuan''s performance also said, "but Li Hai said at the party that the handplate was invented by Xiao Yao. Are there only two in the world? Why did another one fall into the hands of a street entertainer? Did someone come out of the Shanzhai in two days? "


    "Just now the entertainer raised his head. I saw it. It''s very beautiful. It looks like I''ve seen it somewhere." Said a boy in a pair of obvious lovers.


    "What do you mean? You know all the beautiful girls when you see them, don''t you? " The girl beside is not happy, two fingers on the boy''s arm.


    "I don''t mean that," the boy said hastily. "I mean, I think I''ve seen it on TV."


    "On TV? Is that a star? Other people''s stars will be performing in the street? ""I really feel that I have," the boy said, suddenly clapping his hands, "I remember that the girl is Xu Yuan. She was dressed in rags just now, which was far from the image on TV. I didn''t think about it for a moment. But her face is really like Xu Yuan. "


    "Ah The girl suddenly screamed.


    "What are you doing?" The boy plugged his ear canal with one finger.


    "Xiao Yao Girls excited way.


    "Xiao Yao? Where is it? " The boys began to look around.


    "Stupid, run away!" The girl said, "the one with the hat and mask just now! Since the performer is Xu Yuan, the one with the hat and mask must be Xiao Yao. You see, his image is the same as the image in "faded" MV. Didn''t you see anyone holding a DV next to you and running with you? Xiao Yao must be playing some new tricks. Maybe he is shooting a new song MV? I don''t know if we were photographed just now. "


    "Shoot MV? How can I get a DV to shoot MV on the street? It''s the same as making TV series and movies. It''s made with a special crew, actors, and venues Boys don''t believe me.


    "Other people are shooting like that, Xiao Yao is not sure." The girl reminds the boy that "daydream" is Xiao Yao''s idea to run to the real wedding scene and record it to make a MV. He takes a DV to take pictures of the real situation on the street. He can definitely do it


    "That''s true!" Boy a listen, also can''t help nodding, immediately picked up the railing to look down, "they must continue to shoot, see if you can see them, I take you to watch!"


    "Yes, yes!" The girl jumped.


    It''s just that after chatting for a long time, when they look down, where can they see Xiao Yao and others.


    When the six returned to a seven seater SUV borrowed by Lin Qisan, Lin Qisan suddenly said, "what would happen if Xu Yuan or Xiao Yao were recognized just now and surrounded by fans and passers-by?"


    In the past, Xiao Yao was photographed alone in deserted streets and alleys. There''s nothing to worry about. The scene of pedestrian overpass is the first scene of passers-by who don''t know the inside story today, and some people think of it. You know, it was six of them who took part in the shooting today, none of them had an assistant.


    "Anyway, I don''t need to worry. I don''t think many people know me." Nina said with a smile, "what we need to worry about are the big stars who have just attended the new year''s Eve party, right?"


    "There were only a few people just now. It doesn''t matter if they are recognized." Xiao Yao said with a smile after watching the pictures taken by Lin Qisan and Nina, "but at night, especially when Gong Chen is on the pedestrian street, that''s the test. Let me remind you, if you are recognized, run quickly. If anyone is surrounded by passers-by, he will find a way to get away. "
