Becoming a Global Superstar Starting as an Idol Trainee

In early May, a green screen shooting base in the suburbs of Kyoto.

"All departments please be in place! Photography? Lighting?....... Mr. Chen, are you ready?"

"I can start here anytime."

"oK, Action!"

Because the shadow is difficult to make a map, in order to make the later map simple, the green screen studio lights are all open.

A young man in a shirt slid slowly from the corner of the green screen, and the camera slowly retreated in orbit, but the focus of the lens always followed him.

The director saw through the monitor that the young man’s expression was dignified and his face was sad. He looked down, his eyes wide open, his eyes hollow, as if he was reminiscing.

He looked up and breathed and sang: "The rain is full of old and deep, and I hear that you are always alone, the mottled city gate, the old tree roots, the slate echoing, wait."

Director Hu Defa felt that the filming of this scene was enough, and he shouted decisively: "Card."

Director Hu Defa waved to Chen Minwei and said, "Come and come and see."

Chen Minxi saw his performance just twice. Director Hu Defa praised Chen Minjun from various aspects of expression, movement, demeanor, and walking, and then discussed the next move with the crew's lights and photography.

That's right, I am shooting the MV of Chen Minzhen's "Fireworks and Cool" today.

At present, many domestic singers' MVs are taking pictures of some sings and interspersed with some singing pictures, and Chen Minjun does not want to perfuse his own album.

He hopes that his MV has a movie-like texture. In order to make the audience of the song more substitutable, he hopes that his MV can create a vicissitudes of history: the stupa is standing, the sky is smashing, the sword is shining, and the sea is sang.

After comparing the two methods of real-life shooting and post-production, Chen Minjun finally decided to adopt the method of adding special effects later. Although the cost is higher, the effect will be better.

The reason why Chen Minxi was filming in the green curtain shed was to “small maps”. The map refers to the separation of actors or objects from the ordinary scenes and the synthesis into the scenes required by the plot.

A good post-effect is inseparable from the green screen, but it is even more inseparable from the superb performance skills of the actors - the actors need to rely on imagination to perform physical performances.

The story of Chen Minzhen's "Fireworks and Cold" is not complicated: a young general and a young woman fell in love at first sight, and they were privately appointed. When the general planned to go ahead, he was recruited to fight in the frontier.

When the generals returned, they accepted the canonization, and when they went to the woman when they took the reward, they learned that the personnel was wrong, and the dust had already been done: the woman had fallen to Ni, and now she has passed away.

In the end, no longer young generals, standing outside the temple where the woman was married, the drizzle fell. He recalled the experience of the people in the past, and could not help but sigh: the beauty of the world, but like fireworks, easy to cold, easy to divide.

Director Hu Defa is the director of "Detective". The "Detective" editing has been completed, waiting for the release of the propaganda. When Hu Defa heard that Chen Minhao was going to shoot the MV, he volunteered to contact Chen Minjun to help him shoot a MV.

For Hu Defa's participation, Chen Minjun naturally welcomed. Although Hu Defa did not have the experience of shooting MVs, but the director has had several box-funding dramas at the box office. The narrative's skills are naturally strong, and Chen Min's MV is mainly narrative.

The other crew members of the crew, Chen Minjun, are no strangers. They are all Hu Defa's team. This means that the MV not only has film-level directors, but also film-level lighting, film-level photography, and film-level editing.

Although Hu Defa is a commercial film director, he is very good at grasping the details. The whole MV looks delicate and smooth. A novel story is not enough to make him a visual enjoyment and an emotional impact.

Chen Minxi was very satisfied after watching the film of "Fireworks and Cold" MV. He said with a smile: "Mr. Hu, you have taken a great shot, so it is a bit overkill for you to shoot MV."

Hu Defa took a sip of cigarettes and said with a smile: "As long as you are satisfied with yourself, which song do you plan to shoot next MV?"

"Ah, you didn't say that time is limited, can you only take a MV for me?"

Hu Defa smiled and said: "There is a little change over there. I coordinated the time myself. I found that I can help you take the MV of two songs."

It is human instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm. Hu Defa originally wanted to help Chen Minjun to shoot a MV as a reward, and Chen Minjun helped him to solve the problem in the film--the role of Siyuan.

However, after listening to Chen Min's album "Fireworks and Cool", Hu Defa found that Chen Minxi was more talented than he thought, and listening to other people's meaning, "Fireworks are cold" is not the main song in the album, it is said that in the album Several other songs are comparable to "Fireworks are cold."

Therefore, Hu Defa decided to invest further in Chen Minjun - spending two weeks to help Chen Minjun get the MV of another song.

For Hu Defa's initiative to help him shoot a second MV, Chen Minxi did not refuse. In the past and present, one of Chen Minxi’s most important life experiences is: Never reject the goodwill of others.

Chen Min's second MV chose "SeeYouAgain". There is no "speed and passion" in this world, and naturally there is no accidental death of Paul Walker. However, Chen Minxi believes that the world of music is a solution. He believes that this song can still impress many people even if it does not reach the height of previous life.

Hu Defa spent two weeks to get the MV, from the MV plot design, shooting, editing is his full responsibility.

The progress of Chen Min's album is: the current progress of writing songs is 6/6, the progress of recording songs is 6/6, and the progress of MV is 2/2.

The next album mastering, looking for manufacturers to make, poster design, album cover production are basically no need to directly participate in Chen Minxi.

Chen Minyi stretched out and said to Kang Hui: "Then I can finally relax. I didn't go home during the New Year and I plan to return to my hometown next week."

Kang Huisong loosened his shoulder and said: "You can go back to your home in the gap of "Detective" road show." After that, she handed the schedule to the Chen Minzhen.

Chen Minxi looked at the schedule and revealed a look like "Are you teasing me?": "Is this schedule wrong? There are too many roadshows! I want to run 30 cities in 25 days?"

The road show was originally the name of the investment field, but I don't know when the concept of "road show" frequently appeared in entertainment news - it is a general term for the film's creative staff, stars and media, audiences and fans to meet online and promote new film activities. That is, the stars you have seen in cinemas or shopping malls have created activities for new films.

Kang returned to his mouth and said: "I confirmed with the film crew, there is no problem. The rehearsal of the school can only be taken off. On the one hand, the contract stipulates that you must participate in the film promotion activities, and, with the crew confirmed, know The movie has more than one hundred million box office, and the excess will give you 3%. If you have 200 million at the box office, you can get 3 million, 300 million, 6 million, and so on. You don't have to spend money with it."
