Chapter 430: Filming MV

"This time we came to Seoul, we really want to interact with fans who like us, and at the same time, we want to make more fans in South Korea."

At the press conference, facing the reporter's questions, Seeing Wen Xia answered with a smile.

Because this interview was screened in advance and greeted, the reporters didn't ask any particularly sensitive topics.

Plus Girls' Generation hasn't had any black spots since their debut, so the atmosphere at the press conference was quite harmonious. Reporters asked questions, and the members of the girl group answered in turn.

The topics discussed were nothing more than what impressions they have of Seoul and South Korea, which Korean stars they like, and where they want to check in first this time.

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

The short interview ended, and everyone finally returned to the hotel where they stayed.

International stars naturally find presidential suites. Goose Factory booked five rooms for ten people this time, two in one room, and Seeing Wen Xia and Miss Luo Quan lived together.

Miss Luo Quan didn't participate in the interview of Girls' Generation, but stayed in the room alone, typing on the computer.

She wasn't playing games, but was seriously making content.

"Back?" Miss Luo Quan heard the sound of the door opening, looked up and saw Seeing Wen Xia walking in.

"Finally done, my waist hurts from sitting on the plane." Seeing Wen Xia threw her feet, her shoes disappeared directly, and the whole person lay on the bed.

"Luoluo, what are you going to sing for your next song? Have you finished it?" Seeing Wen Xia buried her head in the pillow and asked muffledly.

Miss Luo Quan clicked save on the file, closed the computer and said: "The lyrics and music are all done, and the script is also done. Now I am dealing with the MV filming matters."

"MV!" Seeing Wen Xia smiled happily, "You finally decided to film an MV!"

In the digital age, singers with a little strength will film MVs when they release new albums to deepen the content of the songs.

But Miss Luo Quan has almost never filmed an MV for her songs since her debut. In her words, songs are for listening, not for watching movies. Why film an MV?

The reason seems to be reasonable, but in fact, it is still too lazy.

However, she unexpectedly decided to film an MV this time, and I don't know what kind of evil wind blew.

Miss Luo Quan explained: "Isn't South Korea always popular with some touching little stories in MVs? Many songs themselves are not particularly excellent, but they can still be popular by virtue of excellent MVs. I am just following the customs."

"Why, are you thinking of filming a Korean-style tear-jerking abusive love MV?" Seeing Wen Xia was too familiar with this aspect.

As everyone knows, Korean dramas have three treasures: cancer, car accidents, and incurable diseases. Any one of them can be touching and make the audience shed tears.

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

But it may also harvest a huge amount of blades. It is a double-edged sword. If you don't grasp it well, it is easy to cause backlash.

"I will never abuse the audience's things." Miss Luo Quan flatly denied this, "My works, if necessary, will absolutely not abuse the master or the audience. Like most people, I have always liked happy endings."

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

Miss Luo Quan opened the computer again, clicked on a document on the desktop: "Look, the MV I am going to film this time is an inspirational, tear-jerking story that also reflects the current social status of South Korea."

"I can't see that you still have critical spirit, Luo Shuren." Seeing Wen Xia smiled and stared at the document: "Girl's Big Turnaround…………"

Gradually, Seeing Wen Xia was attracted by this story. After reading it silently, she exclaimed: "Luoluo, this can be a movie! The creativity, selling point, and story are all very excellent!"

Miss Luo Quan shook her head with a smile: "The time to film a movie is too long, I don't have so much time."

This script is actually a movie script change. Of course, it can be filmed as a movie.

However, in order to take care of the duration of the MV, Miss Luo Quan simplified it, only retaining the outline of the story and the most essential parts.

Although the duration of most MVs is about four or five minutes, it is not that there are no MVs with a duration of eight or nine minutes.

As long as it is filmed well, this kind of long MV will also be very popular.

"I have already contacted the filming crew, and I can start work tomorrow. If I am lucky, I can finish filming in two days." Miss Luo Quan showed a confident expression, "Speaking of which, what is your next plan?"

Seeing Wen Xia replied: "First go to SBS to hit the charts for the new song, and then it's a tour."

Before coming this time, Miss Luo Quan made a new song for Girls' Generation. Because it was released in South Korea, it was first filled with Korean lyrics.

The itinerary is basically set, and there won't be too many changes. As for the plan for Miss Luo Quan and Girls' Generation to combine, it will have to wait until half a month later. After all, variety shows are filmed one week to half a month in advance, and the planned ones can't be changed for the time being.

"Then I wish us all the best." Miss Luo Quan patted Seeing Wen Xia on the shoulder, closed the computer and returned to her bed, opened her mobile phone and started the fish-touching mode.

On domestic Weibo, the news of Girls' Generation arriving in Seoul has been on the trending search.

Many photos and videos of the pick-up scene have been passed back to China, causing exclamation from all sides.

If the video title didn't point out that this is Incheon International Airport, everyone would have thought this was the scene of some outdoor concert when they saw this sea of people.

These fans in the video are really too enthusiastic and professional. Not long after Girls' Generation and others came out, the fans started to shout Seeing Wen Xia's name under the leadership of the leader.

One name after another, with cadence and rhythm, full of momentum, and also catchy.

This is the cheering style unique to Korean idol culture; in terms of sheer spectacle alone, it is far better than the cheering style in China where people only know how to scream blindly for their idols.

Besides this, the fans also made a huge banner for the idols, which they held above their heads when they arrived.

The Korean on the banner translates to: This era is called Girls' Generation!

It sounds very imposing just hearing it.

In short, this airport pickup action by the Girls' Generation fan club in Incheon really gave their idols plenty of face.

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

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

In the past, it was always domestic fans going crazy over those Korean stars; this time, they finally turned the tables.

Of course, not all fans give their idols such face.

Looking at Miss Luo Quan's fans, although quite a few came for this airport pickup, they stood out for being unorganized and undisciplined, with very few cheering slogans or props.

In terms of star power, Miss Luo Quan is much bigger than Girls' Generation, both in Asia and globally.

However, the popularity displayed was slightly embarrassing, which also made this airport pickup a laughingstock on Korean entertainment forums.

But this is something that couldn't be helped; Miss Luo Quan truly has no fan organization to speak of.

Not long after she debuted, she banned all sorts of things on Weibo called "Miss Luo Quan Fan Support Clubs," so even now, her fans on Weibo don't have a unified organization.

It's like this domestically, and it goes without saying for abroad.

Miss Luo Quan has plenty of fans, but they are basically all fans in their own way, without much connection to others.

This is also the reason why the scene looked relatively loose.

Although the airport pickup was indeed a failure, she was never someone who particularly cared about this kind of face-saving project, and even passersby would absolutely not question Miss Luo Quan's popularity because of the loose performance at the airport.

So everyone just assumed that Miss Luo Quan's fans are as laid-back as their idol, preferring not to move if they don't have to.

The next day, Miss Luo Quan began the MV filming work.

This set was found by her through Tencent contacting the YG company; it used the venue where YG usually films MVs for their own groups, and all the staff were also from YG.

"Miss Luo Quan-xi, this is the custom silicone prop suit you requested." The prop master came to Miss Luo Quan holding a large lump of prop suit that looked like fat, sweating profusely as he spoke.

According to the script's setting, the heroine she plays is a heavy tank weighing over 200 jin at the beginning, possessing a beautiful singing voice and bright eyes.

In most ordinary romance novels, this is the standard setup for a heroine; of course, not including the weight.

Two hundred jin is definitely overweight, even in the prosperous Tang Dynasty which valued plumpness.

Of course, this is just the setting; the actual prop suit is definitely not that heavy.

However, in order to pursue realism, Miss Luo Quan used silicone as the material, which still added up to thirty or forty jin.

An average girl would find it difficult to move while wearing this kind of suit, but Miss Luo Quan looked very relaxed, and the group of grown men watching couldn't help but marvel at her truly excellent physical fitness.

After changing into the prop suit, Miss Luo Quan, with the help of the makeup artist, covered her face with "flesh," and half an hour later, she became a huge, irregular cube.

With the makeup done and the lights and equipment in place, under the direction of the assistant director, the MV filming began...

"CUT!" the assistant director shouted loudly.

From the sun shining brightly until the moon climbed over the willow branches, the last shot was finally finished.

"I really thank everyone, thank you so much, *samida*." At this time, Miss Luo Quan had already taken off the prop suit and was sincerely thanking all the staff who participated in the filming.

As expected of YG's best MV filming crew, they finished the work in just one day, which was so smooth that even she was a bit surprised.

The assistant director smiled and said, "Miss Luo Quan-xi is too polite; this is just our duty, and it's a truly excellent MV; it will be an extremely brilliant page in our resumes in the future."

Others also nodded one after another.

Others' work was finished, but Miss Luo Quan still had to edit the MV.

She recorded the songs live on set; with her level, there was no need for pitch correction, just playing the original audio was enough.

The MV just needed to be edited according to the plot development of the original movie, which was not difficult for her at all.

Busy until eleven o'clock, Miss Luo Quan finally got all the work done.

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

So when Miss Luo Quan sent the MV to the department responsible for distribution at YG, they once thought Miss Luo Quan had sent the wrong one.

However, after watching the full video, the person in charge was directly stunned.

Soon, the MV teaser hit the Korean trending searches.

In the trending search, the promotional slogan produced by YG and Tencent together was very eye-catching: "Miss Luo Quan's new song MV, meticulously crafted, subverting tradition, more wonderful than you can imagine!"

Just a few sentences piqued everyone's interest.

Miss Luo Quan's work has never disappointed everyone; since it can get such high praise, it shows that the quality of this MV is indeed quite good.

The only drawback is that this is just a teaser, and it doesn't have any substantial content, including the song's name and style, which haven't been revealed at all.

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

This is really too hard to endure.

Fortunately, on the afternoon of the second day, Girls' Generation took their new song to the SBS music show stage.

In South Korea, appearing on music show stages is a required course for all boy and girl groups.

This process is a bit like the first trial recommendation received after a new book is released on Qidian.

Whether one becomes a god or flops depends on the data after the trial recommendation.

Similarly, when a girl group takes a new song to the music show stage, whether they can become popular depends on the ratings and overall evaluation after the show airs.

Although South Korea's new song data has a very complex evaluation system, the music show stage is almost the most important resource and link; if one can achieve success on this, the song is basically already half popular.

The new single brought by Girls' Generation this time is also produced by Miss Luo Quan, titled "Kill This Love." (Original by Blackpink)

The appearance of Tencent's own daughter is bound to be extraordinary; coming for the first time, they directly parachuted into the finale position, which is the last one to appear.

The moment the accompaniment started, all the guests on site and the audience watching the live broadcast knew that this song was going to be red-hot.

Not to mention the lyrics and music, the opening accompaniment of this song had already set the momentum to be immensely surging.

The nine people on stage were like empresses ascending the throne, with calm expressions and stunning beauty.

Their singing voices also embodied the domineering spirit of empresses everywhere, without the slightest stage fright.

This stage, which holds the life and death of countless girl groups, had now completely turned into their own exclusive show; in everyone's eyes, there should only be their figures.

Their dance moves were neat and uniform, their actions were free and sharp, and the brilliance of the dance was not inferior to any popular girl group.

This song is a declaration by Girls' Generation to the Korean girl group industry.

They came here to ascend the throne.

And now it seems that they indeed have such strength.

After the first music show performance of "Kill This Love," the sales of the physical single album sold simultaneously exploded, and the various music data also parachuted to the top of major Korean music charts in less than an hour.

Girls' Generation, terrifyingly powerful!
