Los Angeles is the pop culture center of the United States, and there's never been a shortage of entertainers. So when Sony recruited volunteers, it was crowded with applicants.

This also allowed Cui Zhengyuan to once again see the difference between the developed European and American entertainment circles and Asia, not only in the production of entertainment products. Even on the basis, there is a world of difference.

It's just that although the number of MV volunteers is large, it is still a drop in the bucket compared to the 100,000 Rose Bowl Stadium.

Fortunately, this situation was expected for a long time, so it was decided that these volunteers would be used for close-up shots before the filming of the music video began.

The all-round large shot also needs computer special effects to produce, and Spielberg can save a lot of money in this regard.

Not only that, but the MV is also interspersed with some classic shots of football over the years to enrich the football elements of "Cup of Life".

Overall, it's probably used for the shots in the MV, but it's only more than two. Even if the workload is very large, it is estimated that the shooting can be completed in three days.

Americans are very good at enjoying life, and it is impossible for the film crew here to stay up all night filming like South Korea.

There was no way, the employees of A.P had to follow the rhythm of the other party.

Fortunately, these film crews led by Michelle are professional enough, and although there is not much time, everything is arranged in an orderly manner. If you just look at the work efficiency, it is actually much faster than the Korean crew.

When Choi Jung-won finished preparing to stand on the stage, everyone was actually in place.

Since it was shot during the day and it was a sunny summer day, it saved on the arrangement of lighting effects and other aspects. In this way, there are a lot fewer programs.

And shooting during the day was also deliberate by Michelle.

According to him, recording songs in an all-natural situation can better reflect the artistic conception of "The Cup of Life".

It wasn't meant to be a colorful song. It's not hip-hop music that relies on curiosity and non-mainstream to win, the brighter and sunnier the better.

It's just that in this way, the requirements for the lens are high. If you don't pay attention to it, you may let the lens be spent.

Moreover, the summer sun is very poisonous, and these people have to work under the scorching sun for a long time, and the load is also very large.

In particular, Choi Jung-won only wore a vest, and even if he applied enough sunscreen, it is expected that his skin will be severely damaged after the filming is completed.

To this end, Li Shengming has contacted the most haode dermatology hospital in Los Angeles. When the shooting is over. will let Cui Zhengyuan receive physiotherapy as soon as possible.

Back at the MV shooting site, Michelle explained in detail to Choi Jung-won the key points that need to be paid attention to during the shooting.

Because you don't need to sing live, you only need lip-syncing, so you can save a lot of effort.

The only thing to note is that the beats of Choi Jung-won and the backup dance troupe should be in harmony and try to make as few mistakes as possible.

In addition, the requirements for movement are very high, and it must be remembered when the time point appears in which position.

As for other things, we have our own film crew to think about it.

Cui Zhengyuan has been practicing with the backup dance troupe for half a month. It can be regarded as a preliminary tacit understanding.

The reason why it is so fast is because everyone is a senior dancer, and their strength is extraordinary. I have a very haode comprehension of the beat of the music, when the action is familiar. Everything else is not a problem.

And "The Cup of Life" is won by the style of music, and there is no too wonderful choreography in terms of dance.

Originally, Cui Zhengyuan wanted to design a set of gorgeous dance steps for this song, but Margaret vetoed it.

The style of "The Cup of Life" is dazzling enough, and the song itself is enough to praise. What's more, the Latin style is too obvious. It's more difficult to design matching dance steps.

In addition, if the dance steps are too exciting, it will take the audience's attention away from the song itself.

This invisibly reduces the attention of the song itself. If you really want to do it, it will be more than worth the loss.

In this regard, Michelle and Margaret are experts, and Choi Jung-won is as good as a stream.

So he and the people in the backup dance troupe pondered for a while. Martin's music video took inspiration and choreographed a set of very simple movements.

The advantage of the simple steps is that for these dance masters, with a little practice, there will be no problems.

On the stage, in addition to Choi Jung-won's refreshing dress, all 17 members of the backup dance troupe came on stage, and there were also a few Korean backup dancers.

With such an opportunity to make his debut, it is impossible for Cui Zhengyuan not to take care of the people of his company. With this experience on stage, these backup dancers can learn more experience. After I go back, I will be able to teach more talents.

With so many people dancing at the same time, it is not only necessary to conform to the theme of the MV, but also not to cover up Cui Zhengyuan's edge, and the requirements for dressing up are very strict.

Michelle and Caroline thought about it for a long time, but they couldn't find a solution for Haode.

zuihou or Choi Jung-won had an idea, referring to the costume of the accompanying dancer in the hip-hop dance song "Pastoral Diary" of the T-ara squad in his previous life.

All the members of the backup dance troupe, in pairs of two with one color, wore football-style clothes, with shoes and stockings of the same color.

Such a neat dress is very haode will highlight Cui Zhengyuan, and because of the clothes, the elements of football are more prominent.

After listening to Cui Zhengyuan's opinion, Michelle and Caroline both lit up.

When everyone changed their clothes, after the two of them saw it, they admired his vision even more. Even Caroline, who has always been arrogant, gave him a thumbs up.

Cui Zhengyuan's amazing performance also made everyone in A.P Company shine in the limelight, and finally showed a little bit of evil anger that was ridiculed by Caroline.

Before the start of filming, Choi Jung-won gathered everyone around him and formed a big circle.

Stretch out a palm and look at everyone firmly. "Ladies and gentlemen, today is the day we set sail for the first time. There may be many thorns and bumps in the future, and there will be many unknown difficulties. However, I believe that we can all move forward without fear of difficulties and obstacles. Today, let's get off to a good start for the future. ”

Margaret's eyes have always been on him, and the preoccupied Choi Jung-won is so charming that the flamboyant white girl can't help but fall in love with Cocoa.

She was the first to respond, holding out her tender palm. On the palm of Cui Zhengyuan's hand. "Lance is right, we've been sidelined for a long time, and we've had to huddle down in that little world to entertain ourselves. From today, though, everything will be different. We must use our strength to make everyone feel our charm. Guys, come on! ”

One by one, everyone's hands were put together.

Under the scorching sun, their hearts also burned.

No one is destined to be nameless, no one is destined to achieve nothing. Even though they live well, the desire to succeed is just as strong.

When the opportunity comes. They vowed to shine.

As Margaret said, from today onwards, the Purity League will no longer be the fringe dance troupe that shrinks into a corner of Los Angeles and entertains itself.

They will be known to the world with the brilliance of Choi Jung-won. When the neon lights flicker, the mountains roar and the tsunami roars, it is the day when they soar into the sky.

When everyone's palms were stacked together, Cui Zhengyuan's gaze slowly turned from left to right.

He was slow and stayed on everyone's face for a long time. Everyone must feel his thoughts.

As he expected, everyone who was infected also responded positively to him. All eyes were on him, waiting for him to do Zuihou's mobilization.

"These days. Due to the tight schedule, we have all worked extremely hard. Now that the time has finally come to put it to the test, we can't let our efforts go down the drain. So please show your best state. Let's surprise the world and give ourselves an explanation. ”

Speaking of zuihou. Choi Jung-won's voice began to stir up. "So, letsgo, fighting!"

Finghting！ Everyone's emotions were mobilized to the brink of boiling. A loud roar resounded through the heavens and the earth.

Immediately everyone dispersed and returned to their positions, waiting for the order to begin.

In the hot and dreary weather, a breeze suddenly blew. Although it doesn't bring a trace of coolness, the force of caressing the skin is so gentle.

Jin Lin is not a thing in the pool, he will turn into a dragon when he encounters a storm, and he has been planning for many years today.

Michelle has been quietly watching the movements of Cui Zhengyuan and others on the stage until they are over.

He wasn't in a hurry, or rather not in a hurry. On the contrary, I still appreciate Cui Zhengyuan's practice of gathering morale.

This can be seen at the beginning of any group event. As an avid baseball fan, Michelle feels very close to seeing this.

When he saw Choi Jung-won's OK gesture, he knew he could start. picked up the walkie-talkie beside him and said in a deep voice: "Attention, all departments report the situation." ”

"The lighting team is ready, over!"

"The film crew is ready, over!"

"The track group is ready, over!"

"The recording crew is ready, over!"

"The group is ready, over!"

"The sound team is ready, over!"

"The stage team is ready, over!"

Seeing that all the departments were ready, Michelle settled down. Then the final directive was given. "Attention all departments, action!"

In the past half month, Cui Zhengyuan and the backup dance troupe have spent more than ten hours a day practicing. So when the music plays, dancing has become an instinct in their bodies.

The people in the backup dance troupe are the least demanding, because they don't need to sing together, so just manage the expressions on their faces.

And Cui Zhengyuan, as the protagonist, has too many things to pay attention to. Even if you don't need to sing live here, you can't make the slightest mistake in your position, mouth shape, expressions, and movements.

Michelle is a strict director at work, and as long as there is something wrong, he will immediately stop the reshoot.

There is never scenery behind the artist, except for endless sweat is endless fatigue.

Every MV that amazes and indulges fans is only boring and boring when filmed. Especially in this kind of weather that is about to suffer from heat stroke, it is extremely physically exhausting.

It took half an hour to shoot a tenth of the portion.

Every time Cui Zhengyuan and others are singing and dancing, they will be ruthlessly cut off by Michelle and start over.

It stands to reason that this kind of repeated situation is the most likely to make people bored and slack off. Also くオで is, when the people of the "Purity League" used to participate in the competition. I often have to cooperate with the recording of TV programs to be prepared for this kind of thing.

As for Cui Zhengyuan, not to mention, he himself is doing this job, and he has encountered situations that are more tiring, more painful, and more tormenting than this. I believe that no one will be better than him if it were forbearance.

So even if he was tired and soaked with sweat, and his throat was dry and could burst into flames, he didn't complain.

Seeing that he can endure hardships so much, Michelle also admires it.

According to the idea of Westerners, the family is so rich and powerful, it is not good to enjoy life. What is it like to come out to find sin?

Cui Zhengyuan not only did it, but did it thoroughly. Completely put yourself in the position of a newcomer, and diligently complete every request. It's not like those rich kids who just play tickets, and it's a great thing to go through the motions.

If such a person is not successful, there is really no heavenly reason. Thinking so, Michelle gave the order to rest for a while.

The weather was so hot that even he, the person standing under the pergola, couldn't stand it, not to mention that Cui Zhengyuan and the others were still jumping and jumping in the sun for nearly an hour.

As soon as the recording stopped, Caroline immediately commanded the styling team to rush up and take everyone to the air-conditioned dressing room. Change your soaked clothing. Touch-up is applied to the face that has already been spent.

Zheng Xinghuai and Li Shengming had already led the assistant team to prepare cold drinks for them to cool off.

The extreme heat will make the respiratory tract very uncomfortable, and Cui Zhengyuan has a feeling that he is about to vomit at this time. Qiang suppressed himself for a long time before he didn't make a fool of himself, took the water bottle handed over by Li Shengming, and poured it in one breath.

Let's see if he's going to drink it again. Zheng Xinghuai hurriedly dissuaded: "Zhengyuan, drink in small sips, pay attention to protect your throat." ”

Singers have strict taboos about things that enter the mouth, for fear that unscientific habits will damage their throats.

Generally speaking. If you want to replenish water, it is better to cool it and drink it in a big gulp.

It was really uncomfortable to see Cui Zhengyuan just now. Zheng Xinghuai deregulated. If he wanted to do it again, he couldn't sit idly by.

Cui Zhengyuan stuck out his tongue embarrassedly, indicating that he must pay attention.

He has not yet fully adapted to the life of a singer, and many times he has his usual habits. Although this restriction can be uncomfortable, his strength lies in his ability to listen to advice as if it were good.

Li Haoyu's exhortation made him come out of his obsession with S.M Company, which is a clear proof of this.

About half an hour later, Michelle walked in. "Lance, do you think we're going to start right away? The sunlight is a little offset, and if you don't hurry up, it is estimated that you will not be able to record today. ”

Cui Zhengyuan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled.

This is the first time Michelle has called him by his English name, and he has always called him "Cui, Cui" before. It seems normal, but it's not as intimate as Lance.

I can't imagine that today's hard work can still get the friendship of others.

In fact, Michelle has always kept a certain distance from Choi Jung-won.

In his opinion, a gentleman like Cui Zhengyuan is the master of fishing for three days and drying nets for two days. It is simply impossible to have long-term patience to cope with the boredom of acting life.

In the current situation, it is nothing more than a novelty. After seeing the endless itinerary of the artist, it is estimated that he will soon get bored.

Michelle is an ambitious director whose goal is to become a famous director in Hollywood, and the music video is just a springboard for him. So for those second ancestors who are not in tune, he keeps a distance.

Even filming the MV for Choi Jung-won is just working for money. He didn't want to ruin his reputation because he met someone unladylike.

But after seeing Choi Jung-won's perseverance today, he changed his mind.

In his opinion, Cui Zhengyuan is fundamentally different from those gentlemen. This is a person who really wants to make a career and has everything he needs to succeed.

Michelle firmly believes that this is a person who has the same habits as herself.

It is said that the same sex is exclusive, but there is no ideal between them. He felt that he should get to know this oriental boy with a beautiful appearance but a tough heart.

For this MV shooting, Choi Jung-won is more attentive than Michelle. Hearing this, he immediately got up and walked out, and at the same time beckoned: "Guys, have rested enough, we are going to start work!" ”

Looking at the still upright back, Michelle's gray eyes were difficult to understand. "Looks like we need to get to know each other, venerable Oriental boy." (To be continued.) )
