How to become an ACE of a top boy group

Chapter 124 Courses and Filming 55

On October 28th, the good weather the director had mentioned finally appeared—a cloudy day with thick fog.

Their filming location was in the azalea nursery in full bloom in the park, and the green grass that stretched to the horizon in front of the nursery.

The hazy fog, like a white silk veil, covered the sky. The mist swirled among the dark green grass and trees, spreading out like dust that could not be wiped away, making all the green scenery indistinct and ethereal.

The azaleas in the mist, their blood-red petals blooming like a dream of dark green, as soft as woven silk, a dream of milky white mist.

This was the scene that Song Chuchu saw when she got off the carriage, and she was deeply attracted by it.

"It's so foggy today!" Lu Yun stretched his body.

Luo Xishi shivered: "It's so cold."

Gu Minxing said to Luo Xi, "I brought another piece of clothing. Do you want to put it on?"

"No need, Minxing-ge, I have heat packs inside my clothes." Luo Xi shook the black plastic bag in her hand and said with a smile, "I even brought extras, you can put them on later, aren't we going to change into thinner clothes?"

Gu Minxing nodded.

Luo Xi patted Song Chuchu, who was standing there blankly, and said, "Let's go."

The agent and the photography crew were talking. Rosie and the others greeted them and went into the makeup studio.

Lee Yong-hyun had already started getting his makeup done.

Luo Xi distributed all the hand warmers she had brought, changed into her outfit for the shoot, and sat down in a chair while greeting the makeup artist.

There was only one outfit for today's shoot. It was a light green, slightly stiff long-sleeved shirt and loose-fitting trousers of the same material. The overall color of the clothes had a distressed feel, and the shirt still had some tailoring and burning edge details.

Rosie's shirt was double-layered, with a fitted inner layer and a loose, pleated outer layer. The hem was irregularly ripped with a grey, burnt edge. A light, pale green silk strip was sewn onto the shoulders and collar, and she wore flat shoes.

Everyone else wore matching long-sleeved shirts and trousers in the same color scheme. Lu Yun's sleeves were cut in one direction and tied to his hands with green silk ribbons, and his trousers were also torn. Song Chuchu's shirt was elongated and tied with a green silk belt, making it look like a skirt.

Lee Yong-hyun wore a green ribbon scarf around his neck and a silk scarf on his wrist, while Gu Min-sung had his shirt collar open and the long sleeves had been designed with a cut.

The makeup and styling were the same as before. The makeup artist put green contact lenses on Luo Xi, and she looked at herself in the mirror for a long time. She felt it was very special. The light green pupils made her look much more innocent.

Yuan Yu brought her breakfast. While Luo Xi was eating, the photographer came in to film the behind-the-scenes footage. So Luo Xi started to introduce her breakfast to the camera, "Hi~ Good morning, I'm having breakfast~ Hot noodles and bananas. Boiled noodles, they're tasteless, it seems like they added salt but I couldn't taste it. After filming today, Sister Lili said she'd take us out for a big meal, so for now, I'll just have to bear with it for the sake of filming."

What are you talking to?

Lu Yun, having finished her makeup, walked over and put her face right up to the camera, saying, "Oh, oh."

"Did you put on that heat patch? This outfit is really a bit thin." Rosie was worried that he had forgotten to remind him.

"I've applied them all over my body, and now I feel hot because I've applied so many."

He moved closer to Luo Xi, saying, "I want a bite too."

"What about yours?" Rosie asked as she handed him the noodles.

"I've finished mine." Lu Yun slurped up a big mouthful. "The food in other people's bowls is still the best."

Gu Minxing, who was sitting on the other side and had just finished eating, asked, "If you're still hungry, do you want me to go to your manager's place to get some more food? They're still serving breakfast over there."

……

Finally, the makeup artist used a green silk ribbon to loosely tie her slightly longer hair into a small curl at the back of her head, and the entire makeup and makeup look was completed.

At the entrance of the dressing room, Song Chuchu, who had already changed her clothes, was playing with the camera, waving it up, down, left, and right.

Lee Yong-hyun has already begun filming his solo shots.

The music video for "Dream of the Azalea" is not as complicated as the previous three. The five people filmed one take in the grass and the azalea garden, and then filmed a few more takes to finish.

In the soothing and melancholic song "Dream of the Azalea," Luo Xi's vocal portions include the first and third lines of the verse, the first line of the chorus, and the latter half of the interlude. That's quite a lot of singing, giving it a rather royal feel.

Moreover, it's not just this song; in every song on her debut album, she either has the most parts, the most essential parts, or the most memorable parts. Even in the music video shoot, she was treated like royalty. Luo Xi can already imagine how badly she would be criticized if her debut music video and audio were not well done.

But she wasn't too scared; she felt she had done a good job.

After all, with the system data, she has already practiced her choreography to perfection, and she is confident that she can raise her singing ability to 50 before her debut, and practice her songs to perfection.

As for the music video shoots, with the exception of a few occasions, Luo Xi usually delivers a perfect performance, so it should be considered acceptable.

Before long, it was her turn.

Luo Xi wandered across the misty grassland, walking somewhat listlessly. As instructed, she made gestures of confusion, unease, and vulnerability, hugging her body tightly while lip-syncing to the song: "My dreams were too young..."

As the last one, Luo Xi's scene was followed by a group shot of the five people.

They were to lie on the grass where the azaleas were laid out, film one scene, and then change to a pose where the five of them were leaning against each other, and lip-sync the entire scene from beginning to end.

After finishing, Luo Xi checked her footage on the monitor and felt that her shots were pretty good.

The five of them lay on the grass, the camera focused on her face. Her hazy, confused expression, her green pupils looking at the camera, and then slowly closing her eyes, for a moment Luo Xi was also surprised by the look in her eyes. With the help of makeup, camera angle and scene, it did have a lot of story to tell.

"Brother Xi's photos are pretty good. Did you see the one I took last time where he was all teeth and eyes out? He looked really cool in it too."

"Grinning and glaring? You're not talking about that scene where you rapped while sitting on the table in the black and red film, are you?" Luo Xi was amused by Lu Yun's description, patted him on the shoulder and imitated Lu Yun's words, "Handsome! So handsome!"

"The story ends with us falling asleep again... We went from disappearing to being teleported to the manor, falling into an illusion of an endless abyss. The candlelight burned away the illusion, and we ended up walking on this white misty grassland, falling asleep again. Is that the story?" Song Chuchu clenched her fists. "Cool."

"We're done filming, can we go now?" Lee Yong-hyun said, arms crossed, looking somewhat bored.

Upon hearing this, Gu Minxing asked Director Nan Jing, who was sitting in front of the monitor, "Director Nan, do we have any other plans?"

"We'll take a few more photos to wrap things up, and then the shoot will be complete."

"Anything else?" Lee Yong-hyun's voice was filled with frustration.

"I want to take a couple photo with Xi-ge this time!" Lu Yun said energetically, wrapping his arm around Luo Xi's waist.
