China Entertainment 1997

On March 10, Cao Xuan and Zeng Li started filming the MVs for "Those Years" and "Love Is Not a Last Resort". At the same time, he also had to film "Gong Xi Fa Cai" and "First Dream" alone.

After these four MVs were filmed, it was almost time for him to report to the crew of "The True Colors of a Detective".

When he comes back from Hui Province, he will shoot the remaining MVs for "Did Someone Tell You" and "Love Because of Love" with Hu Jing.

The director of the MV is still Chen Hanzhu. Cao Xuan worked well with him last time, so he found him again this time.

Chen Hanzhu was very happy to receive the invitation, so he came right away.

The last time he filmed the MV for "Fairy Tale", he got a lot of credit. Not only did he become famous, he also received job offers one after another, including several MVs for top-tier singers.

However, Chen Hanzhu had no intention of being inflated in front of Cao Xuan, but his attitude became more and more flattering.

He clearly understands where his current career comes from, and he also understands better that if he can reach a long-term cooperation with Cao Xuan, who is currently popular, and even become Cao Xuan's royal MV director, then his career will reach a higher level.

Not to mention, Chen Hanzhu accidentally learned that Fanxing had the idea of ​​​​entering the film and television industry, and had even participated in the investment of a film and television drama.

From then on, Chen Hanzhu wanted to hug Cao Xuan directly and call the sponsor dad, hoping to achieve a level jump with the big boss.

From advertising director + MV director to a real film and television director...

Cao Xuan probably understood Chen Hanzhu's little thoughts, and he really considered it.

If Fanxing enters film and television in the future, he has not yet considered whether to start an artist management business, but directors, screenwriters and other behind-the-scenes personnel will definitely need to sign some.

When Fanxing signs contracts with directors, they will definitely give priority to those who are famous or not yet famous, but they will also need a few ordinary directors like Chen Hanzhu.

After all, it is impossible for all the movies and TV shows produced by Fanxing to be high-quality. For many relatively ordinary movies and TV shows, if they are shot by famous directors, they will be overqualified.

For example, Chen Hanzhu, if you ask him to shoot those hit classics, he may not have the ability.

But for some films and TV shows that do not require high directorial standards, such as urban romance, costume dramas, historical dramas, etc., after some training, he can basically do it.

Cao Xuan felt that Chen Hanzhu had certain abilities, was knowledgeable, and most importantly, obedient.

He has a pretty good impression of him. If he has the chance, he can try to cultivate him.

Chen Hanzhu didn't know that he had been included in Cao Xuan's inspection list, otherwise he would have to perform well.

In fact, he's not bad now either.

In order to leave a good impression on Cao Xuan and deepen cooperation, Chen Hanzhu used the standards for movies to shoot these MVs, and also paid attention to cost and time control. It can be said that he used all his energy.

Not to mention, Chen Hanzhu's actions not only improved the quality of his MV, Cao Xuan also raised his evaluation to a higher level.

From an ordinary director to a director with potential that needs to be tapped...

………

The best of the four MVs is "Gong Xi Fa Cai", which requires almost no other scenes.

Cao Xuan put on a Tang suit and stood in front of a green screen, holding a few blessing words and lip-synching while making gestures.

There is almost no difference from Liu Tianwang's original MV. The only change is that at the end, Cao Xuan wears the God of Wealth uniform, throws gold ingots and coins at the camera, and then hands over the little easter egg to wish Gong Xi Prosperity.

The design of "First Dream" is not complicated either. It's basically Cao Xuan lip-syncing to the camera, but there are more scenes, and he even went to Jinmen to shoot a scene of walking on the sea.

The filming of these two MVs took a total of 3 days, and the rest of the schedule was moved to "The Love Is Unavoidable" and "Those Years".

"Love Is Unavoidable" is a story about secret love. It is probably that the male protagonist Cao Xuan once met the female protagonist Zeng Li, and fell in love at first sight and fell in love with her.

Zeng Li is the leader of a fighting club in a university. He and a few little sisters train and compete with the fighting club every day, cheering them on.

In order to get close to the goddess, Cao Xuan trained in fighting privately, dreaming of knocking down all the members of the fighting club, shining brightly, and gaining the goddess's favor.

Of course, this was just a delusion. Later, the male protagonist also figured it out and decided to confess directly.

On the day of the confession, the fighting club happened to catch up with the competition and failed miserably. The goddess was very sad. Cao Xuan took the opportunity to sing to make her happy and gained favor.

At the end of the story, Cao Xuan joined the fighting club and had a sweet smile with the goddess during training.

It is worth mentioning that in this MV, Cao Xuan specially invited Qin Hailu and Wu Jinglai to guest star.

The former plays Zeng Li's best friend, and the other best friend is the makeup artist on the crew, mainly to fill in the numbers.

Qin Hailu was able to play this role because she was curious about what the MV shooting scene was like, so she came to visit the cast, but was captured by Cao Xuan.

Otherwise, the 300 yuan remuneration would not be enough for Mrs. Qin to buy a dress, so she would be too lazy to take the job.

Wu Jingze was specially captured by Cao Xuan.

The two got along well during the "Little Li Flying Knife" episode, and even went to each other's homes to pay New Year's greetings during the Chinese New Year this year.

Years ago, Wu Jing suffered a slight injury while filming "New Shaolin Temple" and spent the entire Spring Festival at home recovering from his injuries.

Now that he has just recovered and is about to start filming the new drama "Desperate Mandarin Duck", Cao Xuan was invited to guest star as a member of the fighting club and is also Cao Xuan's love rival in the MV.

In the play, there is a scene where Cao Xuan fantasizes about violently beating up a combat team member, and he "cleans up" Wu Jing.

Wu Jingya was so filled with hatred that he vowed to create a crew in the future, let Cao Xuan be the villain, and himself be the protagonist, and beat Cao Xuan violently to avenge today.

Cao Xuan laughed at this, the young man was too naive.

When he has the capital to build a crew, he will use his financial ability to defeat Li Lianjie, Zhen Dan, Tony Jaa, Olympic boxing champion, sumo yokozuna...

That's what they said, but Wu Jing made a cameo appearance for two days, was "beaten", confiscated half a penny, and left Beijing to film his new drama.

With such a friend, Cao Xuan felt that it was not impossible to consider playing a villain and being "beaten" by him.

He was used to it anyway.

He was beaten to death by Wu Song, and was beaten to death by Shangguan Jinhong. Although he did not die in "The True Colors of a Detective" that was immediately filmed, he was honored to be given a public meal.

It's hard to say who the protagonist is, but Cao Xuan is definitely experienced and skilled in his role as the villain who is hammered to death.

After finishing filming the MV for "The Last Resort", all that's left is the highlight "Those Years".

In order to shoot this MV, Cao Xuan rented a classroom and a special hotel set, used hundreds of actors, and more than a dozen scattered scenes, and spent nearly 100,000 yuan.

This scale of shooting is nothing for a regular film and television project.

But for a MV, especially a MV of this era, it is definitely top-notch.

Many short films and micro-movies produced by directing students may not have such luxury.

Director Chen Hanzhu is gearing up to produce a masterpiece that will surpass last year's "Fairy Tale" and establish himself as a famous director in the music MV field.
