Chapter 23 MV [Please continue reading]
Loen Entertainment, top floor, president's office.
Shen Yuanxiu stared at the documents in her hand, rubbing her eyes in disbelief. "Are you sure Lin Yuan asked you to show these to me? Or are you just having someone else make these up?"
Secretary Kim replied with a smile, "How could I dare to lie to you? It really was Lin Yuanxi who gave it to me, instructing me to make sure it's delivered to you."
Shin Won-soo still couldn't believe it. Could this kind of music video really have a market? Wasn't he sure he wouldn't get torn apart by fans?
What was originally intended to boost Lee Ji-eun's popularity has now become a "double whammy." One single has been turned into two versions, and the music video is just as novel.
Shen Yuanxiu rubbed his temples wearily. "Let's just film it like this. Find the best crew and make sure it's online before the end of the month. We've already been delayed for a long time because Lin Yuan was hospitalized."
"Yes, I'll take care of it right away."
......
"Oppa, I...I can't do it."
Huang Lizhi was almost in tears. How could a 15-year-old girl film such a thing? Would her mother beat her to death if she saw it?
Lin Yuan was at a loss for what to do, so he turned to Li Zhi'en and gestured for her to give it a try.
Lee Ji-eun was also in a dilemma. As a senior actress, she couldn't bring herself to force a girl to film a kissing scene with her.
However, the script has already been written, the company has agreed, the publicity process is underway, and even SM Entertainment has agreed to Bae Joo-hyun's filming. Only Hwang Ye-ji's side remains unresolved.
Thinking of this, Li Zhi'en gritted her teeth and decided to go all out. She gestured for Lin Yuan to go outside and wait, while she would do the ideological work on Li Zhi.
Lin Yuan was happy with this, as it would be easier to communicate with the girl. He shrugged and went out to guard the door, while also taking a smoke in the stairwell.
Lee Ji-eun slowly sat down next to Hwang Ye-ji, organized her thoughts, and said softly, "Litchi, I'm sorry to have put you in such a difficult position, unnie."
Huang Lizhi was about to speak when she covered his mouth with her hand.
"But this is a decision your oppa made after thinking about it for a long time, and it's also to help you gain fame. Didn't you want to become a trainee?"
Lin Yuan told her this last night. The reason he invited Huang Lizhi was for this reason: to take this opportunity to promote her. After all, Lizhi is so well-behaved and obedient.
Huang Lizhi's face stiffened.
Yes, she wants to become a singer like IU, and now the opportunity is right in front of her, yet she's still hesitating. IU is a senior artist, and so many newcomers can't even get a chance to meet her.
However, the thought of filming a kissing scene with her older sister made her extremely nervous.
"Unnie, I...I've never done a kissing scene before, I'm scared..."
Lee Ji-eun realized the problem only after hearing her say that. "Don't worry, unnie has never filmed a kissing scene before, and... if your first kiss is with Lychee, unnie will be fine."
......
Lin Yuan was leisurely swallowing in a corner when he suddenly heard footsteps behind him.
Without turning his head, he said, "Lizhi agreed?"
How did you know?
Lee Ji-eun asked in confusion.
Lin Yuan stubbed out his cigarette, patted his bottom, and stood up. "She prefers to be with you rather than me."
...What kind of bullshit logic is that? It's like you're talking about dating.
Bae Joo-hyun always felt that someone was manipulating her from behind. She had never seen a singer release a song or shoot a music video without contacting their own company, but instead contacting a rival company. Wasn't that a joke?
"Unnie, what are you looking at?"
Kim Ye-rin stared at her unnie for a while, holding a few sheets of paper, seemingly lost in thought.
Bae Joo-hyun was just looking for someone to discuss this with when Kim Ye-rin arrived at the perfect time.
She pulled Kim Ye-rin to sit down with her and handed her the documents, saying, "Take a look."
Kim Ye-rin took it curiously, looked down at it, and her expression changed from calm to curiosity to surprise.
"Unnie, t-t-t-is this real?"
Bae Joo-hyun nodded. See? Even Ye-rin wouldn't believe it, but it actually happened. Who can we complain to now?
"Wow, this is IU's MV! Unnie is so lucky."
Forget it, this isn't a normal person.
Early the next morning.
Today marks the official start of the music video shoot. Lin Yuan, Lee Ji-eun, Bae Joo-hyun, and Hwang Ye-ji, along with the director and the production team leader, are all present.
As a fitness instructor, Li Lizhen also participated in the entire filming process. At this moment, she was chatting quietly in a corner with a woman who looked similar.
Lin Yuan had just learned that Nuna Li Huizhen, whom he had only known for a short time, was actually the sister of Teacher Li Lizhen. Upon closer inspection, their facial features did indeed look somewhat alike.
Perhaps due to years of dance practice, the older sister, Li Lizhen, has a gentle personality and speaks softly, like a gentle breeze.
My younger sister, Li Huizhen, is different. She has a straightforward personality, and I still vividly remember the time she swore on the street like a volcano erupting.
The only thing they have in common is that they are all very good-looking.
Once everyone had arrived, manager Bae Yong-joon distributed the materials and then found a quiet corner to wait.
The company originally wanted to assign Lin Yuan a manager, but he refused, saying that a group should have only one manager.
"Well, let me give you a brief description."
Lin Yuan coughed lightly and turned on the projector.
"This music video will be filmed in two versions, based on my part and IU's part, which can be simply referred to as the 'male version' and 'female version'."
The male version was filmed with me and Bae Joo-hyun from SM Entertainment. It mainly deals with breakups between men and women. I'll need the director's guidance on this part, since you're the professional.
Director Jin smiled and nodded. He was Minister Jin Dayong's cousin. Before coming, his uncle had vaguely mentioned Lin Yuan's background and told him not to offend him.
Upon hearing her name, Bae Joo-hyun quickly stood up and greeted her, "Annyeonghaseyo, I'm Bae Joo-hyun, nice to meet you."
Everyone was very accommodating, showering him with compliments. After all, his face was quite convincing; otherwise, how could he be called the undisputed "one of the four beauties," a title he was universally acknowledged for?
"Now let's talk about the female version. Compared to the male version, this version is filmed with IU and non-celebrity Hwang Yeji. Of course, the level of intimacy must be carefully controlled." Lin Yuan paused after speaking, "Lizhi, say hello to everyone."
Hwang Ye-ji was a little shy, but she still stood up awkwardly. "Annyeonghaseyo, I...I am Hwang Ye-ji." Then she quickly sat down.
"Does anyone else have any questions?"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than the screenwriter immediately raised a question: "Lin Yuanxi, since you're a couple, why aren't there any kissing scenes?"
I also want to have a kissing scene, but IU won't allow it. She immediately changed her expression when Bae Joo-hyun was mentioned, and deleted the kissing scene overnight to appease her.
"I think kissing scenes are unnecessary. On the one hand, it doesn't fit the theme, and on the other hand, Lizhi is still young and might be criticized by the authorities, which would be counterproductive."
Seeing that even the company's top female writer had spoken, what could the screenwriter say? Helplessly, he sat back down, muttering to himself, "It's only interesting when handsome men and beautiful women kiss."
Saying "west Ba" makes you seem like you know how to talk.
