Chapter 44 Director Huang's First Filming
"Yes! Keep walking, don't stop!"
"Look at the camera, not at me, but at the camera in my hand."
"Good! Very good. Don't twist your waist too exaggeratedly, keep it natural. Yes, that's the range of motion."
"It's okay to make mistakes, you'll get the hang of it after a few more tries."
Huang Yiliang discovered that he really did have a talent for photography. Damn it, he chose the wrong major. This guy is really good at using DV cameras. Given time, he might steal Edison Chen's thunder.
Anyway, he has already decided to expand the hard drive capacity of his computer.
"Boss, can I see how the photos I just took turned out?" Wang Ou wiped the sweat from his forehead and walked over excitedly.
"I haven't even turned it on, what are you looking at?!" Huang Yiliang said irritably.
How to describe Wang Ou? She is indeed hardworking, but she lacks patience and is always looking for shortcuts.
"Ah—! Didn't you say that DV cameras don't use up film, can be used just by charging, and can be used to shoot as much as you want?"
Wang Ou blinked his big eyes; was he trying to flirt?
She's probably gone mad.
Little Potato is standing right behind Huang Yiliang. Don't let her small size fool you, she's a formidable fighter.
Of course, Wang Ou is no pushover either. These two live under the same roof, so they're bound to have some fights.
"Charging is such a hassle!" Huang Yiliang shook his head and sighed.
He has already asked Wang Zha to buy more batteries and chargers.
For Huang Yiliang and Zhou Mengdie, who were used to using mobile phones, the so-called latest high-definition DV camcorder in their hands was simply a piece of junk.
Their phones can be charged for five minutes and used for ten hours.
This DV camera takes ten hours to fully charge its battery, and it only lasts for a little over an hour of shooting before running out of power.
With all performance settings maxed out, a mobile phone can shoot 8K video, while this latest DV camera can only shoot 1080p video.
Not to mention advanced features such as super image stabilization, fast autofocus, and precise focus tracking.
Huang Yiliang was filming a panning shot just now, but he didn't control his movements well and went too fast, so the whole shot went blurry.
If this were filmed with a mobile phone, this is nothing; as long as your hand is steady enough, you could run and it would be fine.
This is also why Huang Yiliang told Wang Ou and the others to walk slowly, because if you walk too fast, the camera will lose focus.
However, DV cameras are not entirely useless. As Wang Ou said, they are inexpensive to use, and once you get used to their various flaws, they are quite good.
Huang Yiliang has already had several units purchased and delivered to Ning Hao.
Although he precisely controlled the script to be 90 minutes long, he couldn't help the possibility that Ning Hao might make a bad take. In the end, he would only get one take right after shooting ten, and it would still be Huang Yiliang's money for film.
Therefore, when the actors were testing the equipment, they were filmed with a DV camera. This made it convenient for everyone to review their performances. Only after they achieved satisfactory results were they filmed with a film camera for the actual shooting.
The money saved is better spent on tipping the girls at the bathhouse than on film.
After all, the film is made in Japan, while the girls are made in China. Huang Yiliang never patronizes imported foreign girls when he goes out to play.
Uh—unless you play for free!
After receiving the DV camera, Ning Hao was complaining to Yue Xiaojun and the others about Huang Yiliang's stinginess. But when they heard that the money saved was to spend 298 yuan at a bathhouse, these guys immediately betrayed him and firmly supported Brother Liang's wise decision.
"Boss, could you let me sing the songs in the music video too? I don't need extra pay, just my basic salary!"
Wang Ou had just finished speaking
Zhao Liying immediately retorted, "Even the teachers at East Asia Music Studio said your voice is just average. You still dare to sing? If the company loses money, can you afford to compensate them?"
Huang Yiliang nodded in agreement.
Although Zhou Mengdie provided a batch of songs that were all catchy pop songs, she still hoped that they would be sung by professional singers.
Wang Ou, who has absolutely no musical knowledge, was directly excluded.
However, Wang Ou can still participate in the MV shooting; her role is to be beautiful.
The main problem is that the girls who were responsible for singing were really not good-looking enough to satisfy the audience, the readers, or even Jia Ling.
Zhang Yadong insisted that they were all graduates of professional music academies with extremely high musical literacy, and that singing such pop songs was already out of respect for Dong Ge.
Moreover, even if you beg them, they are unwilling to appear on camera. They even gave up the right to be credited as the original singer, letting Huang Yiliang just pick any name and put it on.
Huang Yiliang was happy with this arrangement, since he would never pay for the records if these golden-voiced singers appeared in his music videos.
"You said I sing badly, but you're no different," Wang Ou glared at Zhao Liying, annoyed.
Does this young girl even understand that we're all in the same camp? The company will only have more and more artists in the future, so how can we compete for quality resources if we're not united?
Zhao Liying didn't really understand, but she did know that she used to live alone in a two-bedroom apartment, but now Wang Ou had taken up half of it, and Wang Ou's best friend had also taken half of her assistant job.
Three words: irreconcilable enemies.
"Hehe, Teacher Xu said I sing better than you." Zhao Liying made a victory sign.
Xu Gao was a music producer lent to Huangliangmeng Music by Zhang Yadong. This guy was experienced and worked very efficiently. In just a few days, he helped Huangliangmeng Music build a music production framework.
Huang Yiliang couldn't even poach him in time, as he had already returned to the East Asia Music Studio.
It would be nice to go to a bathhouse together for a foot massage!
"Alright, stop arguing and just follow the company's arrangements," Huang Yiliang interrupted the two men's argument.
He naturally sided with Little Potato, since Little Potato had recently suffered a great injustice.
"Wang Ou, go to the dressing room and try on the clothes. If they don't fit, tell Sister Zhang. Can you wear a slightly revealing outfit?" Huang Yiliang asked.
He was thinking that Wang Ou had participated in model beauty pageants and even worn bikinis, so what clothes could be more revealing than that?
"Boss, I'm fine with it, I'll absolutely obey the company's arrangements!" Wang Ou replied immediately.
His attitude was so upright that no one could find fault with him.
She even considered saying that she didn't need to wear it.
"Okay! You can also tell Sister Zhang if you have any ideas about clothing and appearance. Sister Zhang can teach you a lot."
Although Ms. Wang Ou is still a bit rustic, her work attitude is excellent, which makes Huang Yiliang very satisfied.
"Okay, thank you, boss!" Wang Ou quickly expressed his gratitude.
She knew Huang Yiliang was giving her a hint, but there was really no need for that. The modeling industry is so damn dirty, and Wang Ou managed to get fourth place. She knew all too well who in the company she could offend, who she couldn't offend, and who she had to please.
Unfortunately, Zhao Liying, who is at odds with her, is someone she absolutely cannot afford to offend.
Don't underestimate Little Potato just because she's just a lowly assistant running errands. She's incredibly close to the boss, and he even invites her to meals. She's definitely more than just an ordinary assistant.
Wang Ou saw from the balcony several times that the boss was driving Zhao Liying back to her dormitory, so the two of them were definitely having an affair.
I hope my good friend Xiaoxiao can lend a hand!
Logically speaking, with Xiaoxiao's figure and looks, she would completely outshine Little Potato, who has no breasts and no butt!
