What Zhou Jingyi thought in her heart, Paul and TJ couldn't guess, but what they could see was that Zhou Jingyi was indeed very serious in helping Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting rehearse the sweet pas de deux in the past two days, and even helped them modify and improve some of the movements designed by Xiao Yao, so that the effect of this dance was better.

Two days later, the group arrived at the filming location they had found in advance, and the MV for the song started filming smoothly.

It is a room that looks like a performance hall in a European-style palace. The surrounding walls are decorated with very delicate patterns, simple and elegant wall lamps, and there are many prominent semicircular terraces on the opposite walls. Under the terrace, there are curtains with small light bulbs, and when the yellow bulbs are lit, the sporadic lights on each curtain create a picture of a boy and a girl doing intimate movements together. The ceiling, which is hung with a set of huge ornate European chandeliers, has many frescoes.

The entire floor of the performance hall is covered with a cyan carpet with elegant patterns, and in the center of the carpet, a square with a side of about six meters is made of wooden floors. This smooth and flat square wooden floor is the stage for two people to dance. Around the wooden stage, there are also some classical European-style wooden sofa chairs and small tables. On the small table, there are also antique European-style small table lamps.

When Xiao Yao and the others arrived, the preparations for the scene were almost done. In addition to the apparently extra square timber floors, each terrace is topped by a fixed spotlight that falls diagonally downwards, casting two rows of oval dots on the edges of the timber floors. On the walls of the two adjacent corners, two movable spotlights are installed. There are a total of three cameras on the scene, one of which is a camera that is hand-held by the cameraman on his shoulder, one is erected on the slide rail trolley on the side of the wooden stage, and the slide rail laid on the ground is arc-shaped, which can basically ensure that the camera on the slide rail trolley can be adjusted to the shooting direction of about 150 degrees, and the third camera is installed on a rocker arm erected on the scene to ensure the shooting angle from top to bottom. As for the sound equipment, it is of course also essential.

All the crew of the filming team have also arrived. It's just that it doesn't seem to be in a neat configuration for this team. It is understandable that there is no sound engineer in charge of live recording when shooting the MV, but there are only cameramen, prop masters, lighting engineers, scene recorders and technicians who operate the rocker arm and slide trolley, no costume artists, no makeup artists, and most importantly, no directors.

The makeup artist was naturally made a cameo by Xiao Yao's assistant and personal makeup artist Pei Minyi, and the work of the costume designer and director was made by Xiao Yao himself, who was the leading actor. Yes, Xiao Yao's MV is written, directed and acted by himself, and he has the experience of shooting the short film "Tuner", and now he is already familiar with it.

After entering the shooting location, Xiao Yao gathered the cameraman, gaffer and technician who operated the rocker arm and slide trolley and explained his shooting plan to them. Three cameras are filmed at the same time, and each camera should shoot at what angle, when to push the lens closer, and when to zoom out. How the gaffer should adjust the brightness of the on-site lights, when to turn on the wall lights, and how to hit the chasing lights, Xiao Yao had to explain to these people in detail one by one.

After the shooting plan was explained clearly, Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting went to change their costumes and makeup.

Xiao Yao is dressed in a white shirt, black vest, and black trousers, but the sleeves of the shirt are rolled up to his forearm, which is basically similar to the appearance of Boss Huang in the original MV of his previous life, the difference is that there is an unbroken black tie around his neck, but this dress is exactly the same as the last time he performed the guitar song with a shovel guitar on the singer's stage. Sun Tingting's costume is more conservative than the female dancer in the original MV in her previous life, but it looks just as soft and elegant. The pale cyan gauze oblique one-shoulder long skirt does not highlight the curve of Sun Tingting's chest, but the light and soft fabric of the lower body and the slightly transparent fabric of the skirt and the diagonal cut of the hem of the skirt can also highlight Sun Tingting's beautiful leg lines during the dance.

At the beginning of filming, the official version of the song music that Xiao Yao had recorded began to play in the sound of the scene. Compared with Xiao Yao's previous live version of the music, although this version of the music is still dominated by the soundtrack of electric guitar and drums, the proportion of piano sound is greatly increased, making the whole song less of a folk flavor, but more classical and elegant taste, which is more compatible with this environment and the whole dance.

The lights dimmed and the diagonal lines of the two spotlights hit the wooden stage, forming two bright cone-shaped pillars of light. Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting walked slowly towards each other from the darkness on both sides of the stage with elegant modern dance steps, starting from the two figures walking into the pillar of light, the spotlight also began to swing with the figures of the two, when the two slowly approached together, the two spotlights on the stage on the stage cast oval light points slowly stacked together, but the light points did not completely coincide, but spelled out a heart-shaped pattern on the stage.

At the beginning of the dance, Xiao Yao made a relatively large modification, the two did not have physical contact at the beginning like the original dance, but borrowed from the scene of Silly Meng and Elena dancing in the previous life "Vampire Diaries", and danced a short section of Mescolanzas in the square dance, the two each stretched out a palm to face each other, but they did not touch, but the eyes of the two looked at each other affectionately during the step and rotation, which already made the spectators looking at the monitor feel so sweet.

This dance as a whole is still a modern dance, not a ballroom dance, so Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting did not turn three and a half times in a circle like Cute and Elena in the American drama in their previous life, with their right hand, left hand, and then their hands facing each other but not touching, but just stretched out their right hand and turned around, Sun Tingting put down her arm and turned around to make a move to leave, Xiao Yao grabbed Sun Tingting's hanging wrist and pulled it inward, Sun Tingting tiptoed into Xiao Yao's arms with a spinning action in modern dance.

After raising her head from Xiao Yao's arms, Sun Tingting took the initiative to raise Xiao Yao's hand, put her right palm in Xiao Yao's palm, gently picked Xiao Yao's chin with her left hand, and pushed the head of Xiao Yao, who was shy and embarrassed to lower her head, up, and the eyes of the two met again.

"Ha~" Looking at Xiao Yao's shy appearance in the close-up of the monitor, several onlookers couldn't help but laugh softly. This kind of Xiao Yao seems to have never been seen by anyone. Fortunately, the shooting of this MV did not need to be recorded on the spot, and the laughter of several people was not loud, as long as it did not interfere with the performance and dance emotions of the two actors on the field, there was no problem.

The next dance moves are similar to the movements in the original MV in the previous life, and several groups of people such as Paul, Fang Yi and Mei Fang, who were watching from the sidelines, have also seen it many times during the rehearsal process in the past two days, but in such a scene, with the effect of lighting and music, everyone feels that this is simply a sweet dance.

In addition to the lingering movements of the two people who are tired of being together, there are also many difficult professional movements in the whole dance. However, the more difficult movements are basically Sun Tingting, a female dancer, and the difficulty of Xiao Yao's movements is only reflected in the strength, accuracy and cooperation with Sun Tingting required in those lifting movements. Therefore, the whole dance is more outstanding, and it is Sun Tingting, a female dancer, not Xiao Yao.

However, when both of them were on the floor, Sun Tingting's feet passed under Xiao Yao's armpits, Xiao Yao grabbed Sun Tingting's left ankle with his left hand, pulled it into his arms and stretched Sun Tingting's left leg diagonally upward, and at the same time held his right hand weakly on the outside of Sun Tingting's bent right leg thigh to pluck the strings, and used Sun Tingting's legs to simulate the fun action of playing the guitar, the focus of the onlookers was inevitably focused on Xiao Yao's body, and his face also showed a smile of "I have convinced you". In the design of dance moves, you have to add the appearance of playing the guitar, and others are not convinced by such choreography.

In the end part, when the two of them lay side by side on the floor with their fingers clasped, and then Sun Tingting leaned sideways on Xiao Yao's chest, the two chasing lights could be seen in the overhead lens of the camera on the rocker arm and deliberately moved again, and once again spelled out a heart-shaped light point pattern on the floor, placing the two lying people in the center of the heart-shaped light point. Everyone watching from the sidelines felt the urge to turn off all other lights in the scene and leave, leaving them alone to linger.

At the end of the dance, Xiao Yao lay on the floor for a while, not only to take a little breather and rest, but also to take a moment to withdraw himself from the emotions of this dance, and then stood up and stood in front of the monitor to watch the footage replays taken by several cameras.

This dance-based MV is basically a long shot, and the occasional camera switch is only due to the angle relationship and switch between several cameras on different cameras, so when shooting, Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting danced the whole dance in one go, and arranged all three cameras to shoot all one shot from beginning to end with a long shot of nearly five minutes. Wait until the dance is all done, and then watch the replay to judge the shooting effect.

Whether it is filming a movie, TV or MV, there are very few shots that can be passed at one time, let alone a long shot that is close to five minutes in length, so when watching the playback, Xiao Yao inevitably found some problems. Some are flaws in the dance between the two of them, some are the lighting master's lighting control and the coordination of the dance, and some are the cameraman's angle and camera movement. Xiao Yao pointed out and recorded all these problems, discussed them with the cameraman and lighting engineer, discussed ways to improve, and then prepared to start the second shooting and recording.

This dance is nearly five minutes long from beginning to end, and it takes Xiao Yao about a quarter of an hour to watch all the footage of the three cameras, plus the time of discussion, which adds up to more than half an hour. Sun Tingting has been sitting on the wooden sofa next to her to rest during this time, although Xiao Yao seems to be busy watching the replay and discussing the shooting method or something, but physically is also resting, and the physical strength of the two is very good, so it is not a problem to start jumping for the second time immediately.

Although the cameramen, gaffers and other staff invited by TJ and Paul to help Xiao Yao are not too famous, their own skills and experience are still very good, and they are also considered to be first-class in the industry in the United States, but Xiao Yao himself has very high requirements for MV shooting materials, and the difficulty of five-minute long shot shooting is indeed a bit high, so the dance materials of this MV, Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting still danced ten times, and a group of people also filmed for a whole day, which can be regarded as barely meeting the quality requirements expected by Xiao Yao.

The reason why it is said to be barely achieved is because even if it is filmed for the tenth time, the picture shot by the three cameras is not flawless and perfect from beginning to end, but Xiao Yao did not delete the shooting materials of the first nine times, with these ten dance picture materials, Xiao Yao, who has a strong memory, is confident that through post-editing, these ten materials can be re-cut and spliced to create a complete dance picture that is perfect from beginning to end, which is enough for Xiao Yao, who aims to make the song MV.

The post-editing and soundtrack of the MV, Xiao Yao still plans to complete it himself, but this is definitely not done on the spot, but the materials are sorted out and packaged, and slowly made after returning to China.

However, after the filming of the MV dance was completed, Xiao Yao did not announce the end of work, but asked Sun Tingting to change her clothes and continue filming.

Sun Tingting, who reappeared in front of everyone, not only changed into an elegant and solemn red dress-style dress, but also her hairstyle and makeup were obviously re-managed, without the lightness when dancing, and the whole person looked particularly demure and dignified.

"Give!" When Sun Tingting went to the locker room to change clothes and style, Xiao Yao ran to the car outside and got her violin case. At this time, Sun Tingting was greeted by the violin handed over by Xiao Yao.

"What are you doing here?" Mei Fang looked at Sun Tingting, who was holding the violin on her shoulder, and asked Xiao Yaodao, who had retreated behind the cameraman.

"I'm going to record a video for the next 'Singer' competition. I didn't plan to take Doll back to China, I was going to replace it with an image of her playing the violin. Xiao Yao explained to Mei Fang.

"What?" Mei Fang said in surprise, "Xiao Yao, you came to the United States, filmed the MV for several days, and used a video to send away the next competition?
