Chapter 640 You Can Also Use

"Why is it so cold today..."

After getting off the car at the parking lot of the gymnasium where Twice's MV was filmed, they met JYP staff waiting for them. Under their guidance, Chi Jingyuan, his agent and assistant walked quickly towards the stadium. He felt a cold wind blowing on his face before he took two steps. Combined with the chilly air in the morning, he felt a chill that penetrated his bones. He couldn't help but shrink his body and put his hands in the pockets of his sweatshirt.

"It has been raining for a while, and the temperature has dropped a lot. Although it is spring, the temperature these two days is no different from winter." Park Jae-hyun explained casually, and then looked at Chi Jingyuan's clothes and added: "And what you wear is too thin."

"Is it very thin?"

Chi Jingyuan looked down at his clothes today, the gray sweatshirt and jeans with a sweater lining exposed at the collar, and asked without feeling.

He doesn't look like a producer at all, but no different from an ordinary college student.

"There is only one reason for feeling cold, that is, you are not wearing enough."

"That's right..."

After a while of chatting, several people walked out of the backstage of the stadium and came to the side of an empty football field.

The MV of "Cheer Up" requires a lot of venues, including football fields, basketball courts and green screen venues. These venues need to be rented specially. We need to shoot neat and smooth group dances in different venues. In addition to being used as materials, they can also be used as dance versions of MVs.

After shooting the group dances in different backgrounds, we will shoot one of the themes of this MV, the nine members' imitation clips of film and television dramas, and finally edit and piece together all the things shot in all places and backgrounds, which is the final MV product.

It is actually quite complicated to shoot, and it requires a lot of backgrounds. Some need to be shot in real scenes, and some are built by themselves. Even some shots need to use green screen special effects. JYP has indeed invested a lot in the MV of Twice's main song this time.

The whole MV shooting takes about three days. The specific process, lens design, and even the highlights have been discussed and determined in the previous production meeting. The scene is directed by the MV director who cooperates with JYP. Chi Jingyuan does not need to follow all the time. He will only come to see it at the beginning of today, and then supervise it again when the members are cosplaying and shooting at the end to see the effect.

In fact, to be honest, he doesn't need to come today. He just comes to see the effect with a serious attitude of working seriously and the idea of ​​making Zhou Ziyu and the others' title song better.

At this time, many people have come to the football field. The MV shooting team is setting up the camera, and the JYP staff are busy going back and forth in the field. The members of Twice have also arrived early and changed into the cheerleading costumes for the shooting. It's just that it's too cold today, and everyone is wearing a down coat and rubbing their hands.

Their styling has also been done, and it is indeed convenient that the beauty salon is located in the basement of their dormitory.

After the official start of MV shooting, Twice's styling style that had been used since their debut until recently also changed naturally. Everyone changed their styling according to the theme and style of this comeback.

I still remember that when Ji Jingyuan was in a meeting at JYP, he specifically emphasized the sentence "The song is important, but the styling is also very important."

Although it feels that JYP's Cody is extremely amateur, Ji Jingyuan does not know much about the styling of girl groups and is not a professional stylist, so in the end he still has to rely on JYP's Cody to do it himself.

However, it can be seen that JYP should take it seriously, and it may be that the Cody who styled Twice is not a group of people. This time there was no frowning blush and meaningless scalp sticking, and many members really made people shine after changing their new styling.

Especially Mingjing Nan.

Ji Jingyuan had always thought that Ming Jingnan's burgundy long hair that was close to her scalp during the "Like OOH-AHH" period looked like a strand of listless seaweed growing on the riverbed, especially when Cody curled the ends of her hair, which made it look even more like it.

He always thought that Ming Jingnan didn't look as good after her debut as she did during the "Sixteen" period. She was obviously a trainee and idol with excellent external conditions that Ji Jingyuan recognized... Otherwise, he wouldn't have given her his phone number at the time..., but after her debut, she has been a background board in the team, with mediocre popularity and no highlights. The problem with her appearance is really big.

Ji Jingyuan looked at Ming Jingnan, who was waving at him and smiling with her gums showing, and nodded slightly in his heart.

At this time, Ming Jingnan completely changed her style. Her long hair became short, her burgundy hair became light gold, and her hair close to her scalp became a little airy. In order to match her hair volume and head shape, she also curled her ears and hair ends outwards. The whole person suddenly became refreshed, and with her gummy smile that looked a little silly, it was easy to make people like her.

From the perspective of producer Chi, Minami Minami is one of the people who has made the biggest improvement in the appearance of this new album. From being inconspicuous in the team before, she relies solely on her facial features and temperament to not be ignored by everyone. He suddenly transformed and became one of the most eye-catching members. The way he stood smiling and waving to him, it really felt like first love in movies and TV dramas, and it’s no wonder that Chi Jingyuan gave him the best performance in this MV. She chose "Love Letter" as her role-playing subject.

It is worth mentioning that the nine members of Twice played roles in film and television dramas in this MV. Some of them were chosen by JYP, while others like Mingjing Nan and Zhou Ziyu were suggested by Chi Jingyuan.

"Anihasay...ha..."

When Mingjing Nan saw Chi Jingyuan, she originally waved her hand to salute him. When she saw the other person approaching, she still raised her hand and waved it. She bent her eyes and leaned over slightly to gently greet Chi Jingyuan. High five.

Not only her, but several Twice members standing nearby also happily took photos with Chi Jingyuan after saying hello.

After a surprise birthday collaboration, most members felt a lot closer to Producer Chi when they saw him in private.

After Chi Jingyuan said hello to them, he took the initiative to chat with the director and the photography team for a while, and exchanged information on today's process and shooting start time. After exchanging a few words, he turned back again. With a glance, his eyesight He was attracted by Saka Minazaki who was standing nearby.

He looked up and down the girl's look with strange eyes, and asked in a low voice: "Have you offended the stylist?"

"Ha ha……"

Zhou Ziyu, who had been standing not far away from him, laughed when he heard it, and several other members followed suit.

Today, Minatozaki Saka's style is very novel. Her golden hair is combed into two side ponytails, and the ends of her hair are specially permed. It looks like two broomsticks are tied to both sides of her head, with a little Weird reggae style, no matter how Chi Jingyuan looked at it, she felt that her style was different from others.

With this hairstyle, it doesn't feel out of place for her to suddenly do some free style when she goes out on the street.

"Why are you talking about it, Oppa..."

Feeling a little embarrassed by the laughter of the members next to her, Saka Minatozaki looked at Chi Jingyuan and complained in a high-pitched voice. She lowered her head and patted her braids with her hands. She seemed a little shaken: "I think it's very distinctive. Ah...is it really ugly?"

"It's ugly but not that ugly..."

Chi Jingyuan glanced at Zhou Ziyu next to him, who was trying hard to hold back his laughter, with his whole face wrinkled like a tomato. He shook his head and said comfortingly.

Of course it doesn't look good either.

He thought for a while and added: "Well...it's very unique."

Even if he felt that Minatozaki Saka's look was extremely ordinary, there were no dressing tables and tools in the football stadium, and there was no time to change it as the filming was about to start.

Fortunately, this look will only be used in the background of the football field, and will not appear in too many shots in the MV.

And even though it doesn’t look good, I have to say that it is very distinctive and eye-catching... This is what idols want, so that people can see you at a glance.

"One in a million, Anihasay, we are twice, please take care of us."

About half an hour later, after all the preparations were completed, nine people from Twice lined up on the football field. Before filming started, they bowed to all the action crew and said hello loudly. .

Cheerleading uniforms, waist exposed, shorts,

"Huai Ting!"

With a cheering sound, the filming of the MV for "cheer up" officially started.

The temperature is still very cold now. Many of the Rabbit Gas members who took off their down coats and only wore cheerleading uniforms couldn't help but tremble. Even if they started dancing, they couldn't resist the chilly feeling, especially if they were sweating. , and the rest of the filming work is still very heavy, so everyone wants to finish it quickly.

But the official version of the MV can be edited, but the dance version requires one shot to the end. Even though Twice has practiced the dance for a long time and is very proficient, recording it in one shot without making any mistakes is still not that good. Simple.

Every time they take a shot, they will stop for a while and move to the monitor to see how they are dancing. After a few dances, they will take a break to replenish their energy. At this time, several members will take the prepared cameras and start interviewing themselves. , take some behind-the-scenes footage.

Chi Jingyuan stood behind the director the whole time, with his hands in the pockets of his sweatshirt, watching the nine people in front of him dance over and over again, occasionally chatting with individual members.

"What are you doing?" Chi Jingyuan went to get a glass of water during the break. When he came back, he saw Zhou Ziyu bending over and taking off his shoes alone, standing beside him with his head tilted and looking at her.

"There was a stone in my shoe, and it just made me sick for a long time."

Zhou Ziyu took off her shoes and said in a loud voice. Her long dyed black hair was tied into a braid and dangled on the right side of her face. After taking off her shoes, she straightened up and put the shoes upside down while shaking them hard to look at her. The frown on his little brow was obviously because he was so uncomfortable with the stone when he was dancing just now.

She had no shoes on one foot, so she slightly raised it up. On the foot covered with black stockings, you could see her toes curled up. At the same time, she stood there with only the other foot. When she shook her shoes hard, she was a little unstable and tilted to the side. She reflexively supported herself with her hands on Chi Jingyuan to avoid falling.

Chi Jingyuan did not stretch out his hand, but just took a step closer to let her hold on more steadily. After she shook the stone out and put on her shoes again, he immediately stepped back and frowned: "You touched my feet and then touched me. You danced for a long time in such thick socks. It stinks!"

As he said that, he also made a fanning gesture, looking at Zhou Ziyu who had just put on her shoes and blinked her eyes to look at her with some disdain.

"No, I'm not sweating!"

Zhou Ziyu, who was about to say something, frowned when she heard it. She looked at Chi Jingyuan angrily with great dissatisfaction, and even switched to Chinese without honorifics.

She felt that this attack was too vicious... and too embarrassing.

When she saw Chi Jingyuan retreating and preparing to leave without listening to her explanation, she chased him angrily and rubbed his back twice with her hands.

You said I stink? Then I will make all your clothes smell like this!

After rubbing twice, she took the initiative to speed up her pace, snorted and passed by Chi Jingyuan, and trotted towards the members not far away.

After passing Chi Jingyuan, Zhou Ziyu, who had her back to him, suddenly smiled, not knowing whether it was because of revenge or because she remembered something happy. She took two steps at a time and trotted to the side of the members.

Chi Jingyuan rolled his eyes at her, looked at the pigtails swinging behind Zhou Ziyu, shook his head and smiled and returned to the director's side.

The interlude during the break cannot change the fact that the filming of the opening of today's MV was not very smooth. After dancing for so long, there are always various problems in the one-shot dance version. Some people make mistakes in their positions, or someone forgets the movements. Moreover, it is still a formal MV, and there are also requirements for the members' smiles and expressiveness. It is not enough to just dance in a team.

Every time there is a problem, it will be sorted out a little, and then everyone will face the camera again with a smile on their faces.

Just when everyone was holding the low temperature and panting and insisting on dancing for who knows how many times, there was finally a time that made people's eyes light up from the beginning, whether it was the movements or the expressions, they looked very good.

Chi Jingyuan, who has shot MVs for who knows how many times, can see that the feeling is coming, and this time should be OK.

It was just a song "Cheer Up" that was halfway through the dance. There were no problems before, and everyone's expressions were happy. One of the styling decorations worn by Mingjing Nan, a light yellow needlework hat, suddenly slipped from the back of her head when she was moving, and it was about to fall to the ground and make a mistake.

But she reacted quickly, and took off her hat while moving. Her position happened to be on the far right of the team. She smiled and threw the hat to the side without any distortion. Her smile was very natural.

It was just that the hat appeared a little abrupt in the camera. The VJ quickly zoomed in a little, and then the staff next to her ran over to pick up the hat, and then the focus returned to normal.

"This time is really great, there are no mistakes, and everyone's expressions are also very good. It is the most expressive of the recent shots."

After recording this side, all the people of Twice gathered next to the PD to look at the monitor. The PD nodded in approval, and then pointed to the several shots in the monitor where the hat was thrown out and fell to the ground and said with regret: "But Mina's hat is really too much of an impact, alas, it still doesn't work..."

Mingjing Nan, who was named, stood by. The smile in front of the camera just now had disappeared. At this time, her face was not good, biting her lips hard, and her fingers were twisted together under her body.

She listened to the director's regretful and blaming tone, as well as the waves of gazes from the side, and felt extremely embarrassed and somewhat self-blaming.

Everyone was very tired after filming until now. Today's filming tasks were fixed. The slower the progress, the later they had to stay up at night. It was finally about to be done, but in the end, something went wrong with her, and she dragged down the entire team.

She cared about this the most.

I thought I handled it well...

"I think it can actually be used."

At this time, Chi Jingyuan came over and looked at this section carefully again. After thinking about it, he suddenly spoke.

When Ming Jingnan and others looked over, he pointed at the monitor and pursed his lips, saying with a hint of nostalgia: "When XO was shooting the MV for "Growl", they also danced many times. When everyone was exhausted, they finally did it smoothly once, but an accident happened. Jongin's hat fell to the ground..."

"Hmm..." He looked at Ming Jingnan who was burying his head but secretly looking up at him nervously, and couldn't help laughing: "At that time, his expression was exactly the same as yours now, Mina, he was afraid that we would beat him..."

"Heh..."

A slight laugh came from the side, instantly easing the tense atmosphere a lot, and Ming Jingnan forced a smile and took the initiative to distinguish himself from Kim Jong-in.

"We really didn't have the energy at the time, so we discussed with PD to just use this. But after the MV was released, many people heard about it, and this missed shot became a classic... So I think this will not affect the overall effect of the MV. In fact, the small mistakes and episodes will not reduce the quality of the MV, but will deepen the audience's impression of the scene and the members, and even become one of the topics that fans will talk about in the future..."

Chi Jingyuan explained his thoughts seriously: "Mina actually responded to this unexpected situation very well. Her movements and expressions were not deformed. The effect this time was really good. It was indeed the best one today. Discarded What a pity."

He didn't say this because it was Minami who made the mistake, but he really felt that sometimes such small mistakes would not affect the overall effect, but in some ways would add color and become a memory point and topic of discussion.

EXO's "Roar" is the best example. In the past few years, I don't know how many fans have watched the scene of Kim Jong-in dropping his hat on the ground and quickly picking it back up over and over again. At that time, he was too tired to continue filming and made the decision to achieve success. A classic.

It may not be very suitable to switch to twice, but at least it has a certain possibility.

only……

Chi Jingyuan glanced at the way Ming Jingnan looked at him from the corner of his eye.

It’s just that this girl has misunderstood something...
