The superstar starts from the termination of the contract

Chapter 417 Directing an MV for the first time (third update)

No matter how Chen Jie tried next, Lu Fan could say he was indifferent.

But Chen Jie couldn't be too obvious, he had to give up in the end.

"I had a very speculative chat with you, why don't you go out for a drink later?"

Lu Fan shook his head, then smiled and said, "How can we go out to drink like this? And I don't know how to drink, so let's talk about it later, anyway, there are plenty of opportunities."

At this time, all the staff responsible for contacting them came over, and Chen Jie followed them slowly as if pretending to be fine.

Lu Fan found it strange that the No. [-] homeless man seemed a little too enthusiastic!

But he didn't think too much, and followed Xiao Li to his room No. [-]. Xu Qing had been waiting for a long time, and after tidying up, the two left with Xiao Li.

It was sent to the hotel by a special car, and then changed back to normal clothes in the hotel, and then booked a ticket to Hongcheng, and the recording of the first episode of the program was completed in this way.

Waiting for the broadcast to see the response.

Because Lu Fan sang an original song, and it was more pleasant to listen to, and at the same time, it was more in line with political meaning.

But it can't be said that it's so stable, because these other people are actually very strong, such as the number one contestant Sunflower, her performance is almost perfect, the four judges unanimously applaud her, and the votes for her by the audience are not low.

These players are all experienced, and if Lu Fan makes a slight mistake, they will probably overtake him immediately.

Back in Hongcheng, the production of the album has entered the final stage, and there is at most a week before it can be promoted and released.

Now that the physical album industry has faded away, almost all singers place more emphasis on the sales of electronic albums.

However, this is Lu Fan's first album, and he definitely hopes that the physical album will sell well.

He wanted to take a different path.

I want to be like those famous singers in the past, relying on the popularity of physical albums to make the word Lu Fan a household name.

Xu Qian's first album only sold more than 20 copies, which is not a bad result in today's era, but it still did not meet Huanyu Media's expectations.

Because they invested too much in Xu Qian, even if the album didn't lose money, it didn't make them a lot of money.

What's more, not even a yell was earned.

Except for Xu Qian, the total sales of physical albums of all the famous singers who were once popular will not exceed 50 copies.

And Lu Fan's first album really wants to break through this threshold.

He put a lot of effort into it.

There are no other important things at the moment, so Lu Fan directly purchased a few director-related skills in the system, preparing to shoot the MV of the album.

Directing is actually a very wonderful profession. It doesn't mean that you can make good movies if you have all the skills.

To give a simple example, in terms of music creation, even if Lu Fan is very familiar with all musical instruments, he may not be able to create very beautiful music alone.

It's all about talent.

And so does the director.

If you want to make a good movie, you must have a good script, actors with excellent acting skills, and unique shooting techniques, among other factors.

Therefore, the director alone cannot fully control all the quality, he will only choose better things as much as possible.

So Lu Fan learned some skills related to directing in the system, just saying that he is familiar with the following things, and all the processes will not go wrong.

To explain in Lu Fan's own words, what he bought was just some relevant experience.

This thing must be tried continuously, the longer the time, the more rewards, if it is not a system, Lu Fan must take it step by step.

He asked Xu Qing about his upcoming job, and after confirming that there was nothing to do, he pulled a group of people to start filming the album's MV.

The first title song of the album is "Nocturne". In fact, any song in his album can be used as the title song.

Lu Fan considered that the style of "Nocturne" is different from other songs, and it can be said that there is a new breakthrough in creation and style, so he chose this song.

In fact, songs like "Fairy Tale" and "Ten Years" can also be used as the main songs of the album.

These two songs are more prominent in their melodies, but their styles are similar to those of Lu Fan's previous releases, so they will not be considered as the main songs for the time being.

According to Lu Fan's analysis and judgment, the two songs "Fairy Tale" and "Ten Years" may be more widely sung than Nocturne.

So the first song MV that Lu Fan shot was "Nocturne". There are similar video materials in the system. Lu Fan looked at it, but it didn't have any reference value, so he decided to rewrite the plot and shoot it himself.

If you don't write a plot, you only need Lu Fan to pose a few random poses, and then lead a group of people to sing and dance. In fact, the MV of the song can be produced.

But Lu Fan felt that doing so would not leave a deep impression on people, so he had such an idea.

Lu Fan's is a story about missing his ex-girlfriend.

At the beginning of the story, the protagonist fell in love with a girl, but later they broke up for some reason, and then the protagonist could never forget her.

Then came the sad news that the girl had been in a car accident. The protagonist was heartbroken when he learned about it, and every year on the anniversary of the girl's death, he would visit her grave.

After all, a MV is only more than four minutes long, and it cannot incorporate too much plot. What everyone pays attention to when listening to music is relaxation. If it is too complicated, it will lose its direction.

The story is very simple. Although Lu Fan is the first time to get started with this kind of thing, he has already purchased a lot of relevant experience in the system, and arranged an assistant director to assist him, so this MV took about three days to shoot. Even if it's all done.

Lu Fan also learned some post-production experience. He discussed with these staff and finally came up with a good plan. The post-production of this MV will be carried out according to this plan.

Lu Fan thought there was nothing difficult, it seemed very simple!

It's really easy to say.

Because the MV has no lines, as long as there are no serious logical errors in the plot, Lu Fan can leave the country, even if an 18-line director comes to shoot, it can be done easily.

That night, after discussing with the staff, Lu Fan called it a day and went back.

Now he lives in the community that Wang Hai rented before, and he is considering whether to buy a house. Anyway, there is nothing to do these few days, so it would be better to settle this matter earlier, but at this time the phone rang.

ps: This chapter is a transitional plot, preparing for Lu Fan's future filming. I will briefly mention the MV shooting process of other songs, because it has nothing to do with the main storyline.
