Chapter 123: A Little Bit
Translator: Zayn_
Jiang Zhihan tried to stop Song Qingyou and Yu Muhuai from working together, but failed.
The main reason was that he didn’t want to interfere too much with Song Qingyou’s work.
In the end, Song Qingyou agreed after reading the script.
The next morning, Chen Lan came to pick her up.
Jiang Zhihan followed her without a second word.
Qingyou was already used to bringing her cat with her wherever she went, so she didn’t feel that anything was wrong.
“Sister Lan changed her car?”
“The previous car was assigned to me by Jiayi. This one is mine.”
Then, she changed the topic. “But compared to getting a car, I prefer a higher salary.”
Shengshi’s salary for hiring her was slightly higher than Jiayi’s.
“Sister Lan, you don’t have to force yourself to comfort me.” Song Qingyou smiled.
“I’m serious.” Chen Lan said firmly, “It’s not like it’s a sports car. It’s not a big burden for Jiayi… Do you know how much those bosses were offering you to accompany others to eat?”
“The price of a car?”
“Yes.” Chen Lan raised three fingers. “Someone offered 300,000 yuan. You’re the most expensive among the guests.”
Not only was it the most expensive, but they couldn’t even get an appointment.
Song Qingyou didn’t want to make this kind of money.
She knew that many artistes in the industry had a clear price tag, and some of them were more unscrupulous and might even quietly quote a price for sleeping with the clients.
“Then I’m quite expensive.”
“It’s just so-so. I’ve also asked around. Gu Xingchen’s price is basically ten times yours. Moreover, someone offered ten million before, but he didn’t agree.”
Ten million just to have Gu Xingchen accompany them for a meal… Only those who took money like paper could do it.
“Gu Xingchen isn’t worried about offending people?” Song Qingyou looked up.
Chen Lan shook her head. “I don’t know about that. There’s a rumor going around in the industry that Gu Xingchen has a powerful background and can’t be provoked. I don’t know if it’s true.”
“But he’s already one of the top celebrities in the country. At that point, as long as he doesn’t make any mistakes, what’s there to worry about?”
That was true.
The two of them chatted for the entire journey, from the price of food to Gu Xingchen’s path to fame.
Ten minutes later, they finally arrived at the filming location for the MV[1].
Most of the scenes in this MV would be shot indoors. If they were efficient, it would probably be finished in a day.
The one with the most scenes was the priest played by Song Qingyou.
As soon as the two people and the cat arrived, Song Qingyou was dragged to the dressing room.
When she came out again, she was already wearing the white ancient costume that the priest wore in the music video setting. She wore a white wig and a gold-red beaded crown.
She looked just like the beautiful state preceptor described in novels.
All the staff members were stunned.
Su Rong, who had always been work-oriented and very rational, covered her chest and subconsciously blurted out, “Isn’t this too beautiful?”
Jiang Zhihan, who was locked outside by the makeup artist, instinctively looked up.
This glance was like the light of the day after a long night, as if all the good things were gathered at this moment.
His cat eyes were filled with unconcealable amazement.
Yu Muhuai was also stunned.
Song Qingyou has always known that she was not bad-looking, but she really didn’t have much self-awareness about how good she was.
Seeing that everyone’s eyes were fixed on her, she couldn’t help but smile.
“Why don’t I go and change my style?”
“Don’t!”
Su Rong, Yu Muhuai, and the others almost said in unison.
The few of them wanted to praise her more, but they heard a voice from the door.
“This style is good. You don’t have to change.”
Everyone turned to look.
Chen Lan moved to Song Qingyou’s side. “This is Director Feng Yan, who is filming the MV.”
There were directors who specialized in filming TV series, movies, and Short videos. Naturally, there were also directors who specialized in filming MVs.
Feng Yan was one of the best MV directors.
Was the MV important? It wasn’t really important. As long as the song was good, almost no one would care about the music video.
It was not important, but a good MV could turn a song around and make it popular!
This was also the reason why Feng Yan was so famous.
If he hadn’t known Su Rong very well and Jiang Xuyan’s song was outstanding, he probably wouldn’t have filmed an MV for a small singer like Yu Muhuai.
Even so, when he saw Song Qingyou, his eyes couldn’t help but light up.
Because in Feng Yan’s view, for a music video to be outstanding, it must either have an attractive plot or be beautifully shot.
Whether it was the scenery, the composition, or the characters, they all had to be beautiful.
Therefore, Song Qingyou would definitely become the highlight of this music video!
Feng Yan walked towards Song Qingyou without hesitation.
Su Rong introduced, “Director Feng, this is Song Qingyou.”
“I know.”
“Yes.” Feng Yan nodded. “Do you know how to dance?” He asked before the other party could greet him.
Just when Chen Lan was about to answer no, Song Qingyou jumped in and said, “A little bit.”
Feng Yan: “It would be better if we could add a dance scene in the music video. You can try performing a scene first.”
“Qingyou?” Chen Lan looked worried. After all, she had never heard of Song Qingyou learning to dance.
Song Qingyou calmly gestured for her to play the music.
“Take a picture with your phone later,” Su Rong whispered to her assistant.
The scene quickly quieted down. Everyone took a few steps back to make space.
Song Qingyou stood in the middle.
Following the melodious sound of the flute, she started to move.
Song Qingyou’s dance was called “Rainbow Dress”, which she had learned from another world.
As she hadn’t danced for a long time, she felt that she might be rusty when it came to dancing, so she said that she knew a little.
However, in the eyes of others, ‘a little bit’ was clearly Song Qingyou being humble.
Look at the flowing hand movements, then look at the lotus swing, jump and turn…
With such excellent body control and skills, this was pretty much what professional dancers could do, right?
The white figure that was leaping around stunned everyone.
When the song ended, Feng Yan took the lead in clapping.
Song Qingyou took the tissue from Chen Lan. “Sorry, 1 haven’t danced for a long time, so I’m a little rusty.”
Everyone: —>
So Song Qingyou was this amazing?
Feng Yan nodded. “Then I can add a dance to the music video without worry. I saw you dancing classical dance. You should know how to do sword dance too, right?”
“A little.”
Upon hearing the familiar ‘a little’, the others didn’t want to continue listening.
Su Rong confirmed with Chen Lan with a smile and asked her assistant to post the video on her Weibo.
Soon, a Weibo user with the name ‘Flowers Grow Above Your Head’ posted a video with a caption:
[ MV test scene! How many more surprises does Sister Qingyou have that we don’t know about? In order to prevent the video from being deleted, everyone should keep a low profile!]
He said that he wanted to keep a low profile, but in less than half an hour, there were tens of thousands of likes, reposts, and comments.
The comments section was full of ‘Aaaaahhh’s.
[ Sister, you should be stepping on the ground when you dance, not on my heart!]
[ Sister Qingyou is too all-rounded. Is this even ‘a little bit’?]
[ Hahaha, look at the expressions of the people at the back. Sister Qingyou’s ability shocked them speechless.]
[ It’s Yu Muhuai’s MV filming site, right? I’m ready, release your new song!]
As Su Rong had expected, the MV gained popularity before it was even released.
