Chapter 7 MV and Micro Movie

 October 1st, the first day of the National Day holiday.

However, the three people in dormitory 1205 had already gotten up at seven o'clock in the morning and came to the playground.

When Zhou Mu and the others arrived, quite a few people had already arrived. In addition to Wan Qian, there were also her classmate, the round-faced sister, and several other senior sisters whom Zhou Mu had no impression of.

There are also many people from Zhou Mu's class who come here, like a certain Han Hao who is so low-key that the whole world knows his background.

As well as Zhu Jie who later played the role of Lurking Mu Wanqiu and Xiao Ya in Snow Leopard, Gao Yixiang, etc.

Guo Jingfei also brought some sophomore boys over.

"Hey, our director is here, everyone is welcome."

When Guo Jingfei saw Zhou Mu coming, he hurriedly started making noises. Zhou Mu was also a little helpless.

After all, there are not many people in the performing arts department, so things can spread quickly.

The most important thing is that I originally wanted to borrow shooting equipment from a classmate in the photography department, but the other party refused.

Helpless, Zhou Mu found a teacher to help coordinate, and simply borrowed a handheld dv from the photography department.

Although in this era, digital photography cannot replace film shooting.

But TV dramas and music videos have already eliminated film.

After all, that stuff is expensive!

However, when he saw so many people watching, Zhou Mu had another idea in his heart.

How about shooting a short film?

Anyway, the script is ready-made. At worst, why not expand it yourself?

After all, the plot of Zhou Mu’s music video is basically plagiarized. No, it’s based on Lin Junjie’s Windblown Summer.

And this mv can be expanded and made into a short film of about ten minutes.

Of course, at this time, the concept of micro-movies has not yet appeared.

But this does not prevent Zhou Mu from shooting!

Thinking of this, Zhou Mu no longer hesitated and directly took out the script and started adding plot.

"Old Zhou, what are you doing?"

Guo Jingfei approached Zhou Mu and asked strangely.

"Seeing that there are so many of you, it's not a good idea to come over and have nothing to do. Why don't you add some drama and you can shoot together."

Zhou Mu said, but he kept thinking about the plot in his mind.

To put it simply, the whole story is a campus love story, from the meeting of the male and female protagonists to the final love.

The story is very cliche, but that's enough.

Zhou Mu spent more than 20 minutes writing the general plot. As for the lines, he will consider them during filming.

"Come on, come on, let's start dividing roles now, everyone who wants to participate in the filming raise their hands."

Naturally, everyone actively participated in this.

Very few people can go out for filming in their freshman and sophomore years, but now that they have gone to drama school.

Naturally, they all want to be on camera.

Although Zhou Mu’s place seems a bit unreliable, it’s still considered a one-time shoot, right?

Zhou Mu serves as the director and male lead, and Hu Ge serves as the cinematographer.

As for everyone else, at least they can have a chance to leave the country.

Originally, the first micro-film in China was generally recognized as the old boy nine years later.

However, due to Zhou Mu's time travel, the first online MV and the first micro-movie in China were filmed on the playground of the Shanghai Academy of Drama in the midst of a group of people playing around.

There are not many scenes used in the entire mv and micro-movie.

Playgrounds, paths, libraries, corridors of teaching buildings, student dormitories, etc.

The eight-minute plot took a total of four days of filming.

During this period, many teachers heard about it and came to provide guidance.

Among them, the filming of the mv part was the most time-consuming.

Because Zhou Mu had to film while lip-syncing, he had to film twice.

However, fortunately, it was completed perfectly in the end.

After filming was completed on the fourth day, Zhou Mu treated everyone to a meal.

On the fifth day, Zhou Mu went to the vicinity of Jiaotong University.

I hired a junior computer science student for 200 yuan.

I bought a domain name for 180 yuan, but it’s a pity that there are no Chinese domain names at this time.

It cost another 800 per year to rent a virtual host.

It took the other party two days to build a website that met Zhou Mu's ideas.

Entering the website, the first thing is Zhou Mu’s self-introduction, which can be updated every year.

Secondly, there are also music area, mv area, and video area.

Of course, so far, there is only one song, one mv and one video.

Simple web page, scarce resources.

In Zhou Mu's previous life, no one would have seen this thing.

But this was in 2001.

On the last day of National Day, Zhou Mu’s website was officially launched.

Back at school, Zhou Mu first looked for a group of classmates who were filming.

Everyone was unambiguous and spread the URL of Zhou Mu’s website among their QQ friends like a virus.

In this life, Zhou Mu has fulfilled his dream in his previous life and applied for a five-digit QQ number.

This can also appreciate in value in the future.

"Lao Zhou, let's take a look at the final result first!"

After the QQ message was spread, Guo Jingfei spoke, and everyone quickly agreed.

After the filming was completed, Zhou Mu did the editing himself, and no one has seen the finished product yet!

Even Wan Qian, who went to record later, only knew that she had recorded, but she did not know the content of the video.

"Okay, okay, I'll let you go now."

A group of people crowded behind Zhou Mu in the Internet cafe, and Zhou Mu clicked on the website.

It took thirty seconds for the website video to finally start playing.

"The first time I met him was that summer."

Wan Qian's voice was the first to be heard, and the commotion here gradually attracted other people in the Internet cafe.

At the beginning of the scene, Zhou Mu's hero and Wan Qian's heroine were sitting together under a big tree, looking at each other and smiling.

The next moment.

When the camera is raised, the blue sky is like a calm lake.

When the camera turned downwards, the scene had changed.

At the same time, two lines of text also appeared on the screen.

Love that never breaks up

Works directed by Zhou Mu

At a corner, Zhou Mu and Wan Qian met on bicycles.

The two looked at each other, with the corners of their mouths slightly raised.

"This was the first time I met him. Later I found out that he and I were from the same school."

Wan Qian's voice appeared again, and the screen turned.

In the music classroom, boys Guo Jingfei, Yuan Hong, Hu Ge, and Gao Yixiang were playing around, while Zhou Mu was sitting on a chair playing the violin.

Han He and the other girls dragged Wan Qian outside the classroom to peek at Zhou Mu.

After Wan Qian saw Zhou Mu, she immediately withdrew her gaze and left quickly.

Encounters are always unexpected.

In the library, in the corridors of the teaching building, on the playground.

As they met again and again, the distance between the two gradually became closer and closer.

Finally, the two sat on the playground, holding hands.

Looking up, the sky is still blue.

When the camera turned downward, it was still under the big tree. Zhou Mu and Wan Qian were leaning against each other with their eyes closed and a smile on their lips.

The next moment, the video ends and the cast and crew subtitles begin to appear.
