Min Zhenghang answered for Huang Yongkun: "Our director used to be a professional photographer for the Philharmonic Orchestra. A cameraman who can follow the group, just like the curtain puller in the Peking Opera troupe, requires at least seven years of opera study experience. It also requires in-depth understanding of the opera.

Knowledge of music.”

Later, Huang Yongkun added: "Later, as my shooting experience accumulated year by year, I was transferred to the current unit, because I am a talker in music, the kind who talks without practicing, and I am more interested in photography!

Mr. Liu, tell me, I mean your music video plot idea."

Liu Qingshan nodded, approving of the other party's pragmatic work attitude, and his interpretation was also lengthy.

"The first is the scene inside the Forbidden City, with red walls and green tiles, and no one on the corridor except yourself. Then you may suddenly see a Forbidden City cat squatting on the roadside, and then it will be like imagining hundreds of years ago."

"There may be patrolling guards walking on this road, eunuchs and palace maids passing by in a hurry. There may be a certain concubine living in the palace, who may have only seen the emperor's concubine once when the concubine was granted the honorary title."

"That feeling of emptiness, loneliness, and the loneliness that time has passed and the world has changed suddenly sweeps over you. This is also the unified feeling we have when we go to all the places that were once glorious and glorious but are now deserted."

"In this scene, you will feel that time is the most ruthless and sentimental. It takes away people and leaves traces. We cannot trace the people who have passed away, but we can appreciate the traces left behind."

"I will be fixed in one position throughout the entire scene. It happened to be dusk when the parliament was officially shot. I had to capture as much sunlight as possible through the gaps between the roof ridges, and then I just edited it in and used it as an interlude between the scenes!

"

"The key question now is how to find the cat. It may be the only uncertain factor in our shooting process. The other parts are all the rays of sunlight that I cast from the side to the eaves of the roof.

It’s just lip-synching!”

Huang Yongkun raised his thumbs as soon as he finished speaking: "You should be the director. You are worthy of being a great director who has made many excellent films. I am very impressed by your planning ability. I am very impressed."

It’s an immersive feeling!”

Liu Qingshan smiled and shook his head: "It's just an MV. It doesn't have a rigid sense of script. What really touches people's hearts is the song and the refraction of various light colors, as well as the infinite sense of imagination that the empty Forbidden City compound brings to people."

"That cat's problem is easy to solve! I asked about it when I came here. Many of the staff here have experience in feeding cats. There are many wild cats in the Forbidden City, and they are not afraid of people. Find one with a better appearance and hold it to solve the problem.

Not big."

"Then there is no problem on my side. I composed the lyrics and music. Even if there is no final recording version yet, I know where to sing and what angle to shoot to enhance the integration of the melody and the soundtrack!"

In fact, as early as when Liu Qingshan first arrived, the staff of the Forbidden City immediately passed on the news.

They are currently working closely with him, especially the scientific research units here, and regard his arrival as a major event related to their future livelihood.

After all, once a topic related to the geological research of the Yuhua tree is first broken through by them, the country's attention and financial investment will be biased towards the Forbidden City.

Moreover, the highest salary for scientific researchers is not only to be recognized by national-level institutions, so this scientific research team has now been set by the Forbidden City as a top priority outside of daily work.

However, in the process of scientific research, immeasurable losses of jade have to be expended. Without Liu Qingshan's follow-up jade tree supply, no matter how promising the project is, it will only become an empty joy like a mirror in the mirror.

Therefore, everyone in the Forbidden City treated this person's arrival with the highest standards. Before he could finish communicating with the director team, a group of senior managers rushed over to meet him.

At this time, it happened to be the clearing time of the day, which was when managers at all levels were extremely active, so there was such a grand welcome team.

It would be impossible to say that Liu Qingshan was not flattered. After all, who among the people who can protect and manage this unparalleled masterpiece of ancient buildings here is not a true expert or scholar.

There are even scientists from various industries among them, and these people have always been the kind of people Liu Qingshan respects the most.

However, due to the jade tree, Liu Qingshan did not show his true state, but only acted in a polite manner.

Because he knows that in fact, more serious intellectuals are the most difficult to deal with, especially after knowing that you have the materials they urgently need. If you dare to give him a casual promise, they will pester you every day until they reach their goal.

achieve.

This kind of work attitude may seem persistent and unyielding to others, but for him, the client, it will be endless distress.

Why bother?

The jade tree in his hand, just take out a fingernail and it will be the top jade ring surface, and what he got in exchange was not a normal business transaction, but selfless dedication under various names.

Because even if Liu Qingshan is willing to sell, no one can afford those jade stones.

Just imagine him giving selflessly for no reason. How many people in the world can do it from the bottom of their hearts without any regrets?

Sun Qishang, the deputy director of the Forbidden City, was the first to bear the brunt. He called Mr. Liu from a distance and ran all the way. His attitude was extremely enthusiastic.

The full-time dean has not been in Kyoto recently, and there are several deputy deans ahead of him, but Liu Qingshan was the one who made him contact him first. Regardless of psychological or project reasons, he has the upper hand.

Liu Qingshan did not dare to be reserved and hurried forward to greet him: "It seems that we are really destined. We just met the day before yesterday, and we met here again today!"

Sun Qishang was not in a hurry to introduce him to everyone, but gave some official expressions on behalf of the Forbidden City: "Last night we received calls from two major ministries and our immediate superiors, saying that comrades who actively cooperated with the National Television

And your shooting mission. As I haven’t said yet, as long as you feel that we need our convenience, the Forbidden City is unconditionally open to receive you!"

Then came his introduction one by one, without even waiting for Liu Qingshan to express anything.

Liu Qingshan pretended not to notice his little thought, and shook hands with everyone politely but eagerly.

One of them, Dean Mou, was the real second-in-command, and his attitude seemed to attach great importance to Liu Qingshan.

"Last night, our Dean Sun called back and suggested that we invite you to be our Forbidden City's ancient architecture and cultural promotion ambassador. He also asked me to apply for a special pass for you, including the vehicle you use most often, so that you can come to us in the future.

There is no access control here!"

This right still makes Liu Qingshan very happy. Although he may not be able to visit for a few years, this is Kyoto, and the phenomenon of status comparison between the upper and lower social circles is very serious.

And the Forbidden City

It is also a check-in place that foreigners must visit. Except for the staff, only a very small number of people have the right to enter and exit freely.

So he doesn't care how many times this privilege can be used. At least it is very respectable in this city. After all, no vehicles are allowed to enter the square outside, let alone the inside of the building complex.

Moreover, this place is guarded by armed police. They are responsible for their duties. They only authenticate documents but do not recognize the young men or nobles in the city. Don't let them turn a blind eye regardless of their identity.

As for the Forbidden City's status as the ambassador for ancient buildings and cultural promotion, he also knew that it was just a false name. Maybe he didn't need to be involved in anything, just to get some connections between him and the Forbidden City.

However, Liu Qingshan is still a young man at heart, and of course he still values ​​this kind of vanity: "Thank you to the leaders of the Forbidden City for the preferential treatment. I will remember it in my heart!"

Seeing that he did not refuse, staff members immediately took Jiang Yuze, who had arrived with Liu Qingshan, aside to discuss the purchase procedures.

Liu Qingshan saw all this, but did not say anything, but quickly changed the topic. After all, it was already evening, and if there was any further delay, he would have to make another trip tomorrow.

Those people didn't dare to delay, because they received orders from their superiors to treat this shooting as a political mission.

Therefore, without waiting for anyone to give orders, powerful figures from relevant departments crowded over to ask about ways to cooperate.

When someone mentioned the need for a cat, a leader in charge of general affairs laughed: "When the museum is cleared, all kinds of small animals will appear from every corner. Among them, the Forbidden City cat is the most popular one."

At most, there are more than 200 of them. It cannot be said that they can be seen everywhere, but it is too easy to capture them!"

Liu Qingshan asked in surprise: "Besides cats, are there other animals?"

"Yes, there are crows flying in the sky, wild pigeons that come from nowhere, weasels, mice and so on occasionally. They are more familiar with every plant and tree here than humans, so it is difficult to eliminate them!"

I don’t know who asked: “Why are there such unlucky things as crows?”

The man smiled and said: "There are a lot of crows here, especially in winter. There will always be a few parked on top of any palace. Because they are black, scream sadly, and like to eat animal carcasses, they have always been regarded as unlucky by people.

Bird. But in the eyes of the Manchu people, this bird is particularly auspicious and is a sacred bird."

"The origins of those cats are not simple, right?" Liu Qingshan asked another question.

Dean Mou replied with a smile: "These cats are all relatives of the emperor. They have no worries about food and drink, and their bloodlines are very unusual. Most of them are the descendants of cats raised by concubines in the harem during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. They are genuine royal cats."

.”

He then further introduced that these Forbidden City cats know the rules very well, and because of these cats, there is basically no mouse in the Forbidden City, so they will not cause damage to the cultural relics inside.

They are agile in their movements, and they will even deliberately avoid cultural relics to prevent unpredictable damage from encountering them. This is really gratifying.

In addition, the cats in the Forbidden City love to be clean and will go to specific places to go to the toilet so as not to cause trouble to the staff.

The Forbidden City cats are not only as cute as ordinary kittens at home, but they also have super mouse-catching abilities.
