Chapter 430 Shooting MV

"This time when we come to Seoul, we really want to interact with fans who like us, and we also want to increase our fans in Korea."

At the press conference, Wen Xia smiled and answered questions from reporters.

Because this interview was screened and greeted in advance, the reporter did not ask any particularly sensitive topics.

In addition, Girls' Generation has not had any bad spots since their debut, so the atmosphere at the press conference was quite harmonious, with reporters asking questions and each member of the girl group answering in turn.

The topics they talked about were nothing more than their impressions of Seoul and South Korea, which Korean celebrities they liked, and where they wanted to check out first this time.

Everyone had done their homework on these things before coming to Korea, so they answered questions fluently.

After the brief interview, everyone finally returned to the hotel where they stayed.

International stars took the initiative to find me, of course, the presidential suite. Goose Factory booked five rooms for ten people this time, two people per room. Wen Xia and Luo Quan lived here together.

Luo Quan did not participate in Girls' Generation's interview, but stayed alone in the room typing on the computer.

She is not playing games, but seriously creating content.

"Come back?" Luo Quan heard the door opening and looked up to see Wen Xia walking in.

"It's done, flying makes my back hurt." Wen Xia flicked her feet, her shoes disappeared, and she lay on the bed.

"Luoluo, what are you going to sing next? Have you finished it?" Wen Xia buried her head in the pillow and asked in a dull voice.

Luo Quan clicked and saved the file, closed the computer and said, "The lyrics and music are done, the script is also done, and now we are dealing with the shooting of the MV."

"MV!" Wen Xia smiled in surprise, "You are finally willing to shoot a MV!"

In the digital age, generally capable singers will shoot music videos when releasing new albums to deepen the content of the songs.

But Luo Quan has almost never filmed a MV for her own songs since her debut. In her words, she just listens to the songs instead of watching movies, so why shoot a MV?

The truth seems to make sense, but in fact it is still too lazy.

But this time she wanted to shoot a MV for the first time, and she didn't know what kind of evil wind was blowing.

Luo Quan explained: "Isn't it true that South Korea has always popular some touching stories in MVs? Many songs themselves are not particularly good, but they can still become popular due to their excellent MVs. When I write them, it can be regarded as following the local customs."

"What, are you thinking of making a Korean tear-jerking sadomasochism MV?" Wen Xia is very familiar with this aspect.

As we all know, there are three treasures in Korean dramas. Cancer and car accidents cannot be cured. Every one of them can be deeply touching and make the audience cry.

Although with the progress of the times, this kind of bloody plot has been criticized countless times, it can still earn the audience's tears as long as it appears.

But at the same time, it is possible to harvest a huge amount of blades, which is a double-edged sword. If you don't grasp it well, it can easily cause backlash.

"I never abuse the audience." Luo Quan categorically denied this. "If necessary, my works will never abuse the protagonist or the audience. Like most people, I have always been I like happy endings.”

Now Wen Xia didn't understand: "Then what are you going to shoot?"

Luo Quan turned on the computer again and clicked on a document on the desktop: "Look, the MV I want to shoot this time is an inspirational, tear-jerking story that also reflects the current social situation in South Korea."

"I don't see that you are quite critical, Luo Shuren." Wen Xia smiled and looked at the document intently: "The girl has made a huge turn..."

Gradually, Wen Xia was attracted by the story. After reading it in silence, she exclaimed: "Lolo, this can be a movie! The creativity, selling point, and storytelling are all excellent!"

Luo Quan smiled and shook his head: "It takes too long to make a movie. I don't have so much time."

This script is actually adapted from a movie script, so of course it can be made into a movie.

However, in order to take care of the length of the MV, Luo Quan will streamline it, retaining the outline and most essential parts of the story.

Although most MVs are around four or five minutes long, there are also MVs that are eight or nine minutes long.

As long as it's shot well, this kind of long MV will be very popular with everyone.

"I'm already in contact with the filming team. We can start work tomorrow. If we're lucky, we can finish filming in two days." Luo Quan showed a confident expression, "By the way, what are your next plans?"

Wen Xia replied: "First go to SBS to list the new songs, and then go on tour."

Before coming this time, Luo Quan composed a new song for Girls' Generation. Because it was released in Korea, the lyrics were first written in Korean.

The itinerary has basically been decided and there won’t be many changes. As mentioned before, the plan to unite Luo Quan and Girls' Generation will have to wait until half a month later. After all, variety shows are filmed a week to half a month in advance, and the plan cannot be changed for the time being.

"Then I wish us all the best." Luo Quan patted Wen Xia on the shoulder, closed the computer and returned to his bed, turned on his phone and turned on the fishing mode.

News of Girls' Generation's arrival in Seoul has been trending on domestic Weibo.

Many photos and videos of the airport pick-up scene have been sent back to China, arousing admiration from many parties.

If the video title hadn't mentioned that this was Incheon International Airport, everyone would have thought it was an open-air concert when they saw the huge crowds of people.

The fans in the video are so enthusiastic and professional. Not long after Girls' Generation and others came out, the fans started chanting her name, led by the leader, starting with Wen Xia.

One name after another, cadenced, powerful, and catchy.

This is a support method unique to Korean idol culture. In terms of spectacular scenes, it is much better than those domestic support methods that only involve brothers and sisters shouting.

In addition, fans also made a huge banner for the idols and held it above their heads when they arrived.

The Korean translation on the banner is: This era is called Girls’ Generation!

It sounds very impressive upon hearing it.

All in all, this time the Girls' Generation fan club's Incheon airport pick-up operation was a good way to support their idols.

Not only did it spark heated discussions in South Korea, it also made many fans in China feel a great sense of pride.

How long has it been since Chinese celebrities enjoyed this kind of welcome?

In the past, it was domestic fans who wanted to kill Korean celebrities, but this time they finally turned around.

Of course, not all fans are so generous to their idols.

Looking back at Luo Quan's fans, there were quite a lot of people during this pick-up operation, but it was highlighted that they were unorganized and undisciplined, with few words of encouragement and few props.

In terms of celebrity status, Luo Quan is much bigger than Girls' Generation, both in Asia and the world.

However, the popularity shown was a bit embarrassing, which made this pick-up operation a joke on Korean entertainment forums.

However, there is nothing that can be done about it. Luo Quan really has no fan organization.

Not long after she debuted, various things called Luoquan Fan Support Clubs were banned on Weibo, so that even now her fans on Weibo do not have a unified organization.

This is true at home, let alone abroad.

There are many fans of Luo Quan, but they are basically all fans of their own, and they don’t have much contact with other people.

This is why the scene looks relatively loose.

Although the airport pick-up did fail, she was not someone who cared particularly much about such face-saving projects, and even passers-by would never question Luo Quan's popularity because of the loose performance of the airport pick-up.

So everyone just thinks that fans of Luo Quan are as Buddhist as their idols, and they try not to move as much as possible.

The next day, Luo Quan started shooting the MV.

She asked Goose Factory to contact YG to find this studio. It used the venue where YG usually shoots music videos for its own groups, and all the staff were also the last ones from YG.

"Luo Quanxi, this is a silicone prop costume customized according to your requirements." The prop master came to Luo Quan with a large pile of prop costume that looked like fat and said with sweat on his head.

According to the setting in the script, the heroine she played was a heavy tank weighing more than 200 kilograms at the beginning, with a beautiful singing voice and bright eyes.

In most ordinary romance novels, this is the standard outfit of the heroine, excluding weight, of course.

More than two hundred kilograms is definitely over the limit even in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, which is considered fat.

Of course, this is just a setting, and real props and costumes are certainly not that heavy.

However, in order to pursue authenticity, Luo Quan used silicone as the material, which still weighed thirty or forty pounds in total.

Normally, it would be difficult for a girl to move when she wears this kind of clothes, but Luo Quan looks very relaxed. A group of senior men saw this and sighed that her physical fitness is really excellent.

After changing into costumes, Luo Quan, with the help of a makeup artist, put "flesh" all over her face. Half an hour later, she became a huge irregular cube.

The makeup was put on, the lights and machines were in place, and under the command of the assistant director, the MV shooting started...

"CUT!" the assistant director shouted.

From the time when the sun was shining in the sky, everyone was busy until the moon was above the willow branches, and now the last shot was finally finished.

"Thank you all so much. Thank you so much Smecta." At this time, Luo Quan had already taken off his props and clothes, and sincerely thanked all the staff who participated in the filming.

As expected of YG's best MV photographer, it only took one day to complete the job, which was so smooth that she was a little surprised.

The assistant director smiled and said, "Luo Quanxi is so polite. This is just our job. What's more, it's such an outstanding MV. It will also be an extremely outstanding page on our resume in the future."

Others also nodded.

Others' work is over, but Luo Quan still has to edit the MV.

She sings and records the songs live. With her level, there is no need to modify the sound, she can just play the original sound.

The MV can be edited according to the plot development of the original movie, which is not difficult for her.

After working until eleven o'clock, Luo Quan finally finished all the work.

The edited MV is 9 minutes long, and the song is only four minutes long, and is basically concentrated in the second half, which is very rare in most MVs.

So after Luo Quan sent the MV to YG's sex department, they thought Luo Quan had sent it wrong.

However, after watching the entire video, the person in charge directly expressed that he was shocked.

Soon, the MV trailer became a hot search topic in Korea.

Among the hot searches, the slogan produced by YG and Goose Factory is very eye-catching: "Luo Quan's new song MV is carefully produced, subverts tradition, and is more exciting than you imagine!"

Just a few paragraphs piqued everyone's interest.

Luo Quan's work has never disappointed everyone. Since it can get such a high evaluation, it means that the quality of this MV is indeed quite good.

The only fly in the ointment is that it is just a trailer and does not have any substantive content, including the name and style of the song.

What makes fans even more uncomfortable is that the MV release time is set at noon the day after tomorrow, which means they have to wait a full day and a half!

This is really difficult.

Fortunately, on the afternoon of the next day, Girls’ Generation took the SBS singing stage with their new songs.

In South Korea, performing on the singing stage is a compulsory course for all male and female groups.

This process is a bit like the first test push after the release of Qidian’s new book.

Whether he becomes a god or becomes a street person depends on the data after testing the waters.

In the same way, if a girl group brings a new song to the singing stage, whether it will be popular depends on the ratings and overall evaluation of the show after it is broadcast.

Although South Korea's new song data has a very complicated rating system, the singing stage is almost the most important resource and link. If it can succeed on this, the song will basically be half popular.

The new single brought by Girls' Generation this time is also produced by Luo Quan, and the song is titled "Kill this love". (Original singer Fenmo Group)

The appearance of Goose Factory's own daughter must be extraordinary. The first time she came, she landed directly on the axis, which was the last one to appear.

The moment the accompaniment started playing, all the guests and the audience watching the live broadcast knew that this song was going to be so popular.

Let’s not talk about the lyrics and music. The accompaniment at the beginning of this song has already set off the momentum to an extremely high level.

The nine people on the stage were like empresses enthroned, with calm expressions and beautiful looks.

Their singing also reflected the domineering power of being empresses, without any stage fright.

This stage, which controls the life and death of countless girl groups, has now become a show that belongs exclusively to them. They should be the only ones in everyone's eyes.

Their dancing postures are uniform and their movements are free and neat. Their dancing is as exciting as any popular girl group.

This song is Girls’ Generation’s announcement to the Korean girl group world.

They came here just to ascend the throne.

But now it seems that they do have such strength.

After the first release of "Kill this Love", the sales of the physical single album that was released at the same time exploded. In less than an hour, various music data also topped the major music charts in South Korea.

Girlhood is so scary!
