Chapter 188 Why Is Our Topic Now All About Work?
6. Address B during the night
The drug dealer shook hands and talked with the gangster.
The undercover agent put his hands in his pockets and looked around like the other boys.
The black boss waved, and the undercover agent tested the poison and gave a thumbs up.
7. Night, suburban dirt road, inside the car
Lao Dong heard a "beep beep" sound coming from the radio in the car, stopped the car urgently, and then turned.
The camera goes outside the car and the convoy all turns around.
8. Address B during the night
The gangster who completed the deal was clinking glasses and drinking with the drug dealers.
The drug dealer boy broke in and said something anxiously.
Swords were drawn, and with the sound of gunshots the birds and beasts dispersed.
9. Road outside at night
The undercover agent ran wildly with the black boss.
The black boss suddenly stopped and turned around, pointed his gun at the undercover, and motioned for him to take out the contents of his pocket.
The undercover agent took out a bunch of keys with a small Rubik's Cube hanging on them.
Boss Hei took it and threw it to the ground. At the same time, the undercover pounced on him.
Gunfire.
The camera showed the cracked Rubik's Cube, revealing the circuit board inside, which was a miniature CW QRP transmitter, with bright red blood flowing on it.
Mr. Hei cursed and continued running. Then he was surrounded by the police who arrived and shot him in the wrist.
Old Dong stared blankly at the body lying on the ground.
At this point, the undercover story of about one and a half minutes ended, and subtitles appeared in the middle of the MV, showing the number of anti-narcotics police officers who died.
Several time periods + locations coupled with real capture videos.
A shot of a police officer looking at his colleague’s death expression;
Shots of family members lying on the corpse and crying;
Unmarked tombstone;
Text description for siren reactivation;
Finally, the police badge is shot through the flowers.
After working together, Yang Lingyue straightened up and looked at the script he had written in one go. He was very satisfied because his eyes were a little moist.
If this was paired with "The Lonely Warrior" and there were a few shocking shots in the chorus, all I could say was: "Cry!"
There are not many shots required to shoot the entire MV, and the script shooting is 1:1 with the blurry, shaky, and real recorded content.
I looked at the time, it was already 5pm.
Yang Lingyue continued to immerse himself in writing the lyrics and music of "The Lonely Warrior".
The more I write, the more strange it becomes. For example, replacing "this tattered cloak" with "this navy blue cloak"; replacing "with the humblest dream" with "with the most sacred dream" and so on.
The meaning has been achieved, but the meaning of the song has weakened. The reason why this song resonates is the spirit of the little people at the bottom who are eager to succeed and rise up.
Every lonely hero, whether in a dark alley or in despair, whether against the wind or in a desperate situation, can fight for himself and his dreams.
Forget it, let’s just send the original version. Countless people will make second copies anyway.
After sorting out the MV script and lyrics, Yang Lingyue had no intention of sending them to Wang Bin now. In that case, another phone call would be needed to communicate. After all, Zeng Li was already back.
"Where's the editing?"
Zeng Li asked after seeing her boyfriend come out of the study.
"No, I wrote a song."
Yang Lingyue stretched out and said, and then before Zeng Li could speak, he said, "I'll get it for you."
Zeng Li smiled with satisfaction that her boyfriend was so discerning.
"My dear, sing it again."
After reading it once, Zeng Li said with bright eyes.
So Yang Lingyue sang a few lines in a primary school-like voice.
"Annoying, sing well." Zeng Li was so amused that she twitched on the sofa.
"Okay, we need to find a popular singer to sing this song in the future." Yang Lingyue said.
"Liu Huan?" Zeng Li raised her eyebrows.
"That's the popular godfather, but he's still not suitable." Yang Lingyue shook his head.
"Oh, you have to look for it carefully. Don't ruin such a good word." Zeng Li said seriously.
"Well, how are you today?" Yang Lingyue asked.
"The only thing missing is the selection of the director of the nursing home. My fellow stewardesses, I plan to invite all my classmates to come over and Bao Jianfeng will be the captain." Zeng Li said with a wink.
"Should the flight attendants have to find a group of young people to complement the older and more aura of your flight attendant?" Yang Lingyue shook his head and said.
"What did you say?" Zeng Li looked at her boyfriend expressionlessly.
"I said it's okay for the captain to make a guest appearance, but not for fellow stewardesses." Yang Lingyue repeated.
"That's not the case." Zeng Li shook her head.
"I said Zeng Damei, we are here to discuss the issue of actor selection. There is also a plot in the film where you marry someone else and have children. What's wrong?" Yang Lingyue raised her eyebrows.
"Strong words." Zeng Li scolded with a smile.
"Huh?" Yang Lingyue made a nasal sound.
"Okay, what you said makes sense." Zeng Li nodded helplessly.
"Also, when it comes to cameos, one cannot have two. This is not a stamp collecting movie, so the audience's attention must still be on the main character." Yang Lingyue added.
"Well, I understand. Do you have any candidate for the nursing home director?" Zeng Li asked.
"Liu Jia and Yue Hong, please contact both of them." Yang Lingyue said after thinking for a while.
"No, I can understand Yue Hong. Liu Jia, she has always acted in serious dramas. Ren Changxia, is it appropriate to play a villain?" Zeng Li asked in confusion.
"Suitable, very suitable, with a pair of rimless glasses." Yang Lingyue said with a smile.
"Okay, you are the director, you have the final say, I will contact you tomorrow." Zeng Li responded.
"Have you noticed that most of our conversations now are about work?" Yang Lingyue sighed.
"Isn't this normal? Our work overlaps. I don't take on scripts or business now. I'm busy with the company and the preparation of the movie. You're the big boss. What else can we talk about?"
Zeng Li certainly understood her boyfriend's meaning, but she didn't think there was anything wrong with it. It's better than having no common topics after a long time. It's better to live a plain life like this.
"Let's talk about something 18+."
Yang Lingyue laughed and reached out to embrace him.
"Just talk?" Zeng Li leaned over and smiled.
"I haven't eaten yet." Yang Lingyue grabbed a steamed bun and said.
"I'll cook you a dish. Can you swallow just the steamed bun?" Zeng Li was still smiling.
"Forget it, you've been tired all day, take a break, I'll do it myself." Yang Lingyue shook her head.
Bamboo shoots and pork, with big white steamed buns.
Yang Lingyue's dinner was just a bite.
The next day, Sunday, Zeng Li went out.
Yang Lingyue worked from home. He first sent the lyrics and the MV script to Wang Bin's email, but did not call him to notify him. He had to give him a weekend. If he found it by chance, don't blame him, haha.
Then he started editing the commercial.
Although Liu Dingye said he wanted to try, Yang Lingyue still had to keep a backup plan. If it was not suitable, he would use his editing version.
But I think it won't be too bad. Du Xiaoyu and Wang Zizhao will definitely participate.
