2023-11-21 00:04:14
“May all your delulu become trululu…” Just earlier, creative genius Liu Boxin (hereinfollowing referred to as Lexie Liu) released a very special new song “Delulu” on Apple Music. What is interesting is that this time she once once more invited director Qin Ziming to shoot the new song MV, and tried to shoot with iPhone 15 Pro Max for the first time. Lexie Liu, born in Changsha City, Hunan Province, is a very powerful singer-songwriter. Anyone who listens to her music will be captivated by her songs. Before she participated in “China New Rap”, she became the first Chinese female singer to appear on SXSW, a large music festival in the United States. She was nominated for the Best Newcomer Award at the 30th Taiwan Golden Melody Awards for her first solo music album “2029”. This year (2023) ) At only 24 years old, in addition to being nominated for the 34th Golden Melody Award for Best Chinese Female Singer with her album “Happy Star”, she is also the only Chinese musician invited to Japan’s FUJI ROCK, and will be on stage in Taipei for the first time at the end of the year. Singing at “Simple Music Festival”. I think Lexie Liu’s music has a magic that makes you listen to it once more and once more, regurgitate her lyrics, and then enter her musical mood through her lyrics. When I listen to her music for the first time, I will be looking forward to which part she will sing in Chinese and which part in English, or maybe I will find some resonance in her music. The same goes for “Delulu” this time. Just like the dialogue between Delulu and Trululu in the MV, and the “It’s all just fantasy” throughout the song, the only one who saves or destroys oneself in the end… After listening to a few songs, you will find this It’s a very “Lexie” life, and it seems to be in line with everyone who reads it. Talking regarding the reason for the creation of this song, Lexie Liu said: “It is a song regarding mental state. It is not like what I usually do, where I want to make a song that is beautiful and that can sing into people’s hearts. . More like an emotion, it is a romantic fantasy regarding a sad girl. In fact, in my daily life, there are often various moments that make me experience whether I am a little bit in my mind. I think everything is too beautiful, which is actually a kind of “Delulu”. Then some memes and pictures on the Internet will write “May all your delulu, become trululu”. I feel like this is A theme that everyone resonates with.” The filming of “Delulu” took regarding 2 days this time, using 3 to 4 iPhone 15 Pro Max. Just like the directors who used iPhones to shoot MVs in the past, “Delulu” MV director Qin Ziming also agrees that because the iPhone is a compact device, it has more space to play and can do things that traditional cameras might not do in the past. For example, in traditional shooting, if you want to change to the next lens position following shooting one shot, it may take the entire crew 5 to 15 minutes to adjust. However, all the lenses of the iPhone 15 Pro Max are in the same machine and can be switched directly. You can shoot by adjusting the lens, angle or position. This has two advantages. One is high shooting efficiency and less manpower required. Another benefit is that the emotions of the person being photographed can be coherent. Lexie Liu fully agrees with this. She is an intensive user of the so-called “Apple Family Bucket”. She uses iPhone to shoot, arrange using GarageBand, switch to Logic Pro on iMac to complete arrangement, produce vocals and post-production creation. Therefore, the iPhone is a very familiar machine to her. This time, shooting with the iPhone 15 Pro Max can help her express and express her emotions. In the past, it took a while to change scenes with a large machine. This time she used an iPhone. 15 Pro Max has been improved in efficiency and emotionally coherent. “We have been trying new ideas in the past, and the iPhone has given us new inspiration… We will be very keen to try new styles and challenges, but if it weren’t for this device, we might not make these attempts.” What surprised Qin Ziming In addition, the iPhone 15 Pro Max’s shooting quality is not inferior to that of the cameras used on the past studios. It can also be directly connected to the shooting equipment used on the past studios. Even the post-production adjustment and video editing software can be seamlessly connected. This makes him start to think regarding the future. I may continue to use iPhone to shoot music videos. Talking regarding being more flexible in trying out ideas, Qin Ziming said that in the past when shooting on the set, everything had to be executed according to the pre-planning. There was absolutely no way to do whatever came to mind at the last moment. This time I used iPhone 15 Pro Max. , he can even try various new ideas that day, and try ultra-wide angle, 1x, 2x, 5x zoom and other focal lengths to see what impact different perspectives have on the story he wants to express, and try them during the shooting process its difference. Qin Ziming also found that the iPhone 15 Pro Max can effectively reduce the pressure and time of shooting, because it can not only shoot in 4K@60p Apple Log, but also can record and access in real time by inserting a USB-C hard drive, which allows the team to have less worries. Shooting place. Lexie Liu also praised the “flexibility” mentioned by director Qin Ziming: “After reading the storyboard before shooting, I had a preliminary imagination. After the finished film was released, I felt that there were still some editing methods that I had not imagined before, such as in The clips of the gray space audition are interspersed with the clips of the official performance, as well as the connection between the candles on the cake and the burning house, etc. These are all the director’s ingenuity!” Lexie Liu believes that using iPhone 15 Pro Max You can really try some new methods in shooting, such as in the MV, the phone is picked up from a room from a first-person perspective. In addition to using the main lens to simulate the movement of the phone, this part also allows Lexie Liu to take a selfie In the past, the action of taking selfies may have been simply posted in the community, but now it has become a commercial work. It feels really amazing. Finally, talking regarding the changes brought regarding by the iPhone 15 Pro Max, Qin Ziming believes that because everyone’s iPhone can take professional images, this means that the volume of sound produced by everyone is the same, and everyone can capture what they see. What you hear has become a very core tool to express yourself. This is of great significance to everyone. Photography is no longer just an additional function of mobile phones, it has become a device for users to record their lives. Lexie Liu said, “When we can really use the mobile phones we often use in our daily lives to create production-level MVs, it means that all iPhone users can realize their artistic ideas on their mobile phones, which sets the threshold for creators’ requirements and restrictions. It has become very low, and everyone can make the works they want to do.”
