Chapter Thirty-Five MV Shooting

  Time flies and a month has passed; in this month, Chen Shao is diligent from dawn till dusk; every day is basically spent in the recording studio or practice room.

  Three songs have been recorded, except for the MV of the title song "Baby", the other two are already completed.

  "Little Wine Dimples" and "Thinking of One Person" were originally just recorded as audio, but later added simple MV shooting; this way also didn't waste too much time, one song could be shot in a day.

  "I'm so tired, a whole month of recording and practicing, it's really not something a human can do" At this time, Chen Shao was lying on the big bed at home, with a lazy look of just waking up and not wanting to get out of bed.

  "I'm tired now, if I were to debut officially, what would you say then? Alright, hurry up and get up, we have an MV shoot today, don't keep the director waiting, you're a newcomer, you know?" Chen Shao's sister had become a qualified manager and had moved in with Chen Shao; while Chen Shao had also moved from that villa to a nearby mansion, the interior design of which was exactly the same as the villa; there wasn't much difference; the only difference was that it didn't have a swimming pool or a spacious courtyard.

  "Older sister, I found out that you're really suitable to be a manager; no wonder they made you study financial management for so long; now that you've become a manager, you're actually quite competent! Can you please take a look at what time it is now? It's not even 7 o'clock yet, right? The most important thing is that the MV shooting is this afternoon; what are you getting anxious about?"

  Really, Chen Shao had a lot of complaints towards her older sister; after being tired for a whole day, she was finally able to sleep in for half a day, but her sister came over so early on her first day as a manager, either because she was too excited or because menopause came earlier than expected.

  "What's with all the nonsense? Can't you get up any earlier? Haven't you heard that the early bird catches the worm? Hurry up and make me some breakfast!" Maybe it was because he had hit a sore spot, or maybe it really was true, but in any case, Chen Ning wasn't going to let Chen Shao continue sleeping;

  "I don't know! All I know is that the early bird gets eaten by the bird; besides, are you my agent or am I your agent? You actually made me waste my sleep time to get up and make breakfast for you? This is... If you don't leave, how can I get out of bed? I'm only wearing a pair of underwear now, please go out first." Despite the numerous complaints, he still sat up and said to Chen Ning:

  "Now I'm your sister, so it's only right that you make me breakfast; hurry up and get out of bed, if I don't see you in ten minutes, you know what will happen. What are you being shy about? We've bathed together before, haven't we? That place on your body, I've never seen it before, is it just a bit more flesh or something? Do you think I want to look at it? Honestly..." Chen Ning said as she walked out of Chen Shao's room, her tone still laced with disdain.

  Chen Shao is now ashamed and humiliated. "Don't want to think about it, back then I was still playing with it for so long" Those painful days Chen Shao can't bear to recall, back then he was too young, his sister dragged him in to take a bath together, as a reborn person, Chen Shao of course didn't want to; but there's no way, he was too young to resist; in the end it became Chen Shao's shameful history.

  "Whatever, I don't want to think about it anymore, the more I think about it, the more tragic it feels; I'd better get up, or else she'll come in again and torment me later; I wonder if it was right or wrong to let her be my agent back then; If only I had known, I would have let her go work as an assistant for Yun'er and Xiao Xian instead; At least that way, she wouldn't be causing trouble for me. Chen Shao got out of bed with a bad temper and went out to wash up."

  Making breakfast won't take long; it's a piece of cake for Chen Shao's culinary skills; before long, she and her sister were enjoying a delicious breakfast together.

  "Hmm, as expected; it's great that I moved in with you, I get to taste such delicious food every day; but why do you cook so much, can the two of us finish eating it all?"

  "Just eat yours, do you think only you get to eat? Don't your two younger siblings get to eat too? Honestly, all you care about is yourself." Yun'er and Chen Shao's relationship has already been made known to the three families; surprisingly, none of them have raised any objections.

  "After asking your mom and dad, I finally knew that 'we actually already knew there would be such a day, and with your current ability, one woman can't satisfy you; we just hope you don't disappoint Yan'er and Xiao Xian; my mom and Uncle Lin are not those traditional kind of people, it's just Xu Auntie who is a bit troublesome; however, after our conversation, they all agreed, they were thinking the same way before, but were afraid of hurting Xiao Xian; you little brat must not disappoint others, got it? You two handle your own affairs"

  What can Chen Shao say now? Happy! In the evening, no one said anything, and he went to cook by himself. Others were also very excited after hearing that they had only eaten once before, and everyone's mouth was hooked up by Chen Shao; those who hadn't eaten yet were even more eager to try it out; just like this, Xiaoxian and Yuner's problem was completely solved.

  "Alas, how would I know? I was just asking casually. Alright, I'm full now, let's go." Time is almost up too, Chen Ning said to Chen Shao;

  "Alright, I'll be ready once I've packed; oh, and can you go up to my room and get my driver's license for me? Today we won't ride the motorcycle, let's take a car instead." Chen Shao said to his sister while busy with something else. Just last week, he had gotten his driver's license through connections, so from now on Chen Shao could ride that BMW KG less often.

  "Whatever, I'll just take it; I've had my eye on that red Lamborghini Gallardo of yours for a long time; I don't care about you, this car is mine now, and as for the Lamborghini Reventon, I don't want it anymore." Chen Ning's eyes lit up when he saw the several world-renowned concept cars in the garage when he moved in, and he had always wanted to ask Chen Shao for one, but just hadn't found a good opportunity yet.

  "Don't ask me, go ask your younger sister Xiao Xian. Those cars, except for the KG which is mine, were all bought in Xiao Xian's name; if you want to know, you can ask her yourself, I don't care." Chen Shao wasn't saying he didn't want to give it, but rather felt that this car already belonged to Xiao Xian, so she should be the one to decide.

  "I'll just ask myself, and Xiaoxian will definitely agree; she's still a few years away from adulthood, so it's not like she can use it for now, and leaving it there to collect dust is no better than me driving it myself." The two of them already have a great relationship, and now they're both going to be Xiaoxian's older sisters in the future, with this weighty identity, then there's even less of an issue.

  "Alright, if you want to drive it then go ahead. I'll take the Lamborghini Reventon and you can use the Gallardo."

  "Alright, I was waiting for you; let's hurry up and go, I'll drive today."

  (PS: The two Lamborghinis I personally like the most. Since I can't own them myself, I'll definitely write them for the protagonist.)

  "Wow, sis, did you really get your driver's license yourself? You didn't buy it, did you? I'm still afraid you'll crash the car;" Chen Shao called out to Chen Ning, who was still in the car, as soon as she got out of the company; just now on the way here, Chen Ning drove so badly that it scared Chen Shao half to death, driving like a highway killer.

  "I haven't driven since I got my license, have I? Today just happens to be a good opportunity to practice." Maybe it was really like that, or maybe it had been a long time since he last drove, but when Chen Ning heard Chen Shao's complaint, his face also turned red.

  "Sister, you're really my sister; using a Lamborghini Gallardo to practice driving, you're the only one in the world who can do it"

  "You're welcome"

  The two of them quarreled with each other, and after sending breakfast to Yoon-ah and Soo-young, they picked up Yuri and headed straight to the filming location this afternoon.

  "The music video for "Baby" tells the story of a night when the main character meets a beautiful girl at a bowling alley and becomes infatuated with her; he goes after her, but she initially rejects him. Later, he and his friends perform an impressive dance routine, and eventually wins her over with his dancing skills."

  The requirement for the female lead in MV is to be a bit sexy; Chen Shao also saw that Yuri was very suitable for this character and took the initiative to ask her to perform.

  "Hello, director. I'm Chen Shuo, the male lead of this MV and also the singer of this song; The girl next to me is the female lead, and this is my agent; Please give us your guidance from now on." Chen Shuo and his team arrived at the filming location and introduced themselves to the director in advance. This is a kind of implicit rule in Korea where newcomers show respect to their seniors.

  "Oh, hello, I'm Li Zai Xi; don't be so formal, just relax" Director Li said to Chen Shao and the others.

  "Inside, we will; then when do we start?" Chen Shao replied and continued.

  "If you're all ready, we can start, but River East Xuan is delayed due to notification issues and will arrive later," said Director Li.

  "Alright, we know that. Why don't I start our part first? It doesn't overlap anyway; we can film HaHa's part when he arrives; what do you think, director?" Chen Shao said after some thought; in Baby's song, there is a RAP section in the middle, so they invited HaHa, whom they got to know because of Infinite Challenge.

  Haha's real name is He Dongxun, he plays reggae style; his rap skills are also good, enough to handle the rap part in "Baby"; Chen Shuo also thought of him and among the artists he knew, only Haha could do it, so he invited him to collaborate.

  "It's settled then; all staff, get ready, we'll start shooting in half an hour;" Since it's been decided, let's get started, Director Li Zixi said, turning to face the staff behind him.

  The whole afternoon was spent in the shooting studio, and Chen Shao and Yu Li's parts were also NG repeatedly; especially when a two-person intimate forehead-to-forehead shot was NG'd more than 20 times.

  Both of them had their own reasons. Chen Shao was initially hesitant, after all, she was his girlfriend's sister; but later on, he let go and became more open-minded; having lived in the US before, he knew that with a few adjustments, he could quickly get used to it.

  The problem now lies with Yu Li; she can't get into character for various reasons.

  It's not her fault, after all, it's her first time acting and she's bound to be nervous. The previous scenes were okay, but when it came to this intimate scene, she just couldn't do it. After all, she's still a young girl, even if she has a bit of sex appeal, it's just a little; previously, she had never done such an action before, so she was a bit shy; however, there is a reason that everyone doesn't know, only Chen Shao and Yuri herself know.

  That's when Yuri was electrocuted by Chen Shao's gaze in that shot; although she only saw one eye, the killing power was still very strong.

  "Yuri, relax; it's just a few seconds of eye contact; you're going to have to film kissing scenes later, aren't you? Can't even do this right?" Chen Shao said to Yuri after another NG; he knew he had his own reasons, but could he be blamed for that? It wasn't his fault that his eyes could electrify people, so he comforted her.

  "Uh, let me take a break and continue later? I'm still finding my state." Yuri is now afraid to even look at Chen Shao, she's worried that she'll sink in too deep, after all, he's her sister's boyfriend.

  "Director Lee, can you take a break? Let Yoo-ri find her state," Chen Shao also knew and walked up to Director Lee In-sik to ask; in this half day, Chen Shao had also found out that Lee In-sik was not an unreasonable person.

  "Uh, it's not early anymore, I think we'll continue tomorrow; today will end here. Earlier, River East Xian's assistant also called to say that he couldn't make it today and would only be able to come tomorrow. Since we still need to shoot tomorrow, let's just wrap up for today and continue tomorrow morning." Lee Jae-suk also had the same intention, since both main actors were not in a good state, they might as well rest for a night and adjust before continuing; after all, there was plenty of time.

  "Alright, Director Li worked hard today; see you tomorrow then."
