Increased budget

shooting officially begins. Andrew sits behind the camera and directs with a microphone.

"The lights, tilt up 20 degrees, I want their faces to be bathed in the sun!"

"The makeup artist arranged Kelly's hair, it's already messy!"

"Nelly, pay attention to her clothes, don't make them wrinkled "

In fact, Andrew not only changed the picture and structure of the MV, but also changed Nelly's clothes. In the original version, he wore a white uniform and looked more like a sports boy from the neighborhood than a rapper. Kelly Rowland stood together with a sense of dissonance.

But now he is dressed more maturely, with a black vest and black shirt, and the large silver chain being replaced by Andrew with a smaller style.

Coupled with the LV classic pattern hat on his head, he looks much more handsome now.

There weren't many scenes in the neighborhood because Andrew had cut them out, and the filming wasn't difficult either. It was just scenes of a man and a woman meeting each other for the first time, looking at each other, and then sending text messages.

But Andrew did not use ordinary shooting methods, but adopted shooting techniques more consistent with movies, such as one shot to the end.

When Nelly sings a love song to the window, the picture slowly moves away and up, and the character shrinks little by little, until he enters the window and continues to move away, and sees an overjoyed Kelly hiding behind the wall holding a mobile phone.

The entire scene was shot three times, and Andrew's angry voice echoed in the studio again.

"Left! Nelly, go left! Remember, you must take two steps to the left after the camera is far away!"

"Kelly! Don't be so cheerful like a silly girl! You have a husband, and you are both excited and confused. Keep it up when you're tearing off your clothes!"

"Jeff! Don't be so fucking slow! The car will move away from you! If you don't move any faster, get out of here! "

And Noda, keep the light on Nelly's face! Look where it is now. Do you want the audience's attention to be focused on Nelly's brother?

" Facing Nelly and Kelly, he did not weaken his voice at all. He was like a mighty lion, unleashing his ferocious power unbridled.

But no one dared to disobey him, because director Jose sat on the chair with a smile and said nothing, completely relying on Andrew's opinion.

Although Nelly and Kelly refuted several times, they stopped talking after seeing the video.

Whether it was the arrangement of the picture or the expressiveness of the camera, they all felt the power of Andrew, which was completely different from the ordinary MVs in the past.

And in the evening scenes, Andrew's advanced aesthetics and abilities were highlighted.

Nelly and Kelly stood in front of the burning vehicle. According to conventional lighting techniques, they should be given white light to show their normal skin color.

But Andrew did the opposite, letting the entire street be lit up with warm yellow lights, which complemented the flames behind him, and then sprinkled a little pink on the faces of the two people.

These pink colors are like the ambiguous atmosphere between the two people, and they also match the emotions in the song. The two people dance and sing to each other in such a scene.

Even with the naked eye, you can see the impact of this picture, so both Nelly and Kelly are very satisfied.

But when the filming was ending in the early morning, Andrew suddenly made a suggestion.

"Increase the budget?" Nelly frowned and hesitated.

"That's right, Nelly, as you can see, our standards are very high. The scene the day after tomorrow is the most important, because it is the main line of the song, so if the set is not sophisticated enough, it will not match the standards we are currently filming. "

Andrew explained, and then Kelly said with a smile: "Nelly, you are not willing to give up money."

"Shit, I don't need this money!" Nelly was shocked by the beauty. He retorted and called his agent.

"Increase the budget, listen to me, CAA will give you whatever budget they want, this MV is a blast! Trust me!"

He made a phone call and went out, leaving only Kelly and Andrew in the vanity van.

She slowly walked up to him: "You are really great. It is the first time I have seen a photographer as creative as you."

"Thank you for the compliment. It is also the first time I know that your voice is so charming. "So you haven't heard my song before?" Kelly was very perceptive.

"Indeed." Andrew spread his hands.

"Okay, oh, it seems I'm not very famous yet." Kelly smiled heartily.

Andrew waved his hand: "But this song will definitely make your name famous."

"Why are you more confident than me?"

Andrew smiled and did not answer.

Kelly then said: "Anyway, I'm looking forward to it even more!"

One day later, CAA received Nelly's additional budget and immediately rented a high-end hotel as a filming location according to Andrew's instructions.

One day later, filming continued.

This time the two people were photographed separately, one on the left and one on the right, in two corridors.

Andrew and the camera sat on the slide, being pulled by the assistants, filming the two of them in one shot.

"Kelly! Keep your expression natural. Don't be immersed in singing all the time. Just think of it as having an affair with Nelly! Meet him!"

"Touching the wall with your hands is like touching Nelly's breasts! Yes, that's what it feels like! "Keep your eyes on the camera, but don't give in!"

"

No! That's not right! Kelly

, do it again !" Use your brain to remember this feeling!"

"Yes! It's right this time! Let's continue to shoot the next scene!"

Andrew continued to guide Kelly until she finished filming. Fortunately, her attitude was very sincere. , didn't put on any airs and was very cooperative.

Things didn't go so well for Nelly.

"Nelly, don't look like a coward! You're here to have an affair, not to perform!"

"Stop holding that old hat with your hands! You're not Michael Jackson!"

"Camera problem? Don't make excuses, Nelly "It's your problem!"

"There's no point in staring at me! Nelly, think about your album, do you want it to be on the Grammy Awards stage?"

"I don't care about your threats, Nelly, I just want it! " The MV is responsible! Even if you want to shoot me, you have to wait until the MV is finished!"

In the end, it was Kelly who kept comforting Nelly to calm him down and complete the filming.

After the filming was over, Nelly said directly to Andrew: "I will never ask you to shoot a MV again, SHXT! You don't respect me at all!"

"No, Nelly, you should check the meaning of respect first." Andrew He said calmly: "No one is special here, everything is for the sake of the work! This is my philosophy!"

"Why do you think so?" Nelly has never seen anyone more attractive than a black hip-hop singer.

"Why? You'll find out, Nelly, soon."
