Chapter 161 Obscure and ambiguous filming
"C'est bon, fais—moi du bien..." Ye-eun looked at Kwon Ji-yong, who was laughing so hard that he fell on the table because of her tongue-tiedness, and her face began to get hot because of shyness, "Wait, let me record it again."
She put her hands on her hips and shouted to Mai Li, "Kwon Ji-yong, stop laughing! You said you wouldn't laugh, and now you're laughing at me."
Kwon Ji-yong, who was sitting in front of the surveillance microphone, was shaking with laughter because of Ye-eun's occasional French stuttering. "I'm not laughing anymore, hahahahaha, but it's really, very funny."
Ye-eun couldn't help but glare at him through the glass, and CL, who was sitting next to Kwon Ji-yong, couldn't help but curl her eyes.
Really, what's so funny about this? GD Oppa probably wants to laugh when he sees Ye Eun. She was secretly complaining.
Last time, Ye-eun said that GD Oppa was fierce in the recording studio. How fierce was he? ? He was incredibly patient with Ye-eun.
The melody of this song "Baby Goodnight" is romantic, with TOP's deep voice and Kwon Ji-yong's natural transition between true and false voice. After listening to the demo recorded by Kwon Ji-yong and TOP, Ye-eun loved it.
So when Kwon Ji-yong asked her if she wanted to be involved, she immediately agreed. However, she didn't expect that the participation the other party mentioned meant speaking French in it!
Yeen cleared her throat, took a sip of water and repeated, "I'm so tired, so alone..."
I had studied French with CL many times before the recording, so during the recording, I not only had to recite it fluently, but also had to recite it in a gentle and ambiguous manner to match the style of the song.
She was almost frightened by the various liaisons. When the last "avec toi" was pronounced, Ye-eun wondered, "Isn't the last toi pronounced a bit harsh?"
Kwon Ji-yong supported his chin and looked at Ye-eun in the recording studio. She was wearing headphones and looked serious as she tilted her head slightly to ask questions into the microphone.
He couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth and pressed the button to listen to the result of this recording. Although it was just a voice-over, both of them were very serious.
Kwon Ji-yong doesn't speak French, but he knows Ye-eun. When he heard the emphasized "toi" at the end, he knew that she was really mad at herself for not being able to match a few sentences properly.
He couldn't help but laugh, his eyes full of smiles, "Yes, a little, but it's okay."
Ye-eun listened to it herself. The first part was good, but the last note was particularly heavy. She hesitated for a while, but finally shook her head and said, "Record another version and see which one is better then."
"Yes, then try recording another version." Kwon Ji-yong's eyes were curved, and he was almost itching to see Ye-eun working so hard.
So cute...
When CL caught a glimpse of Kwon Ji-yong's expression, she couldn't help but roll her eyes secretly. Here it comes again! Stop smiling silly at our Ye Eun. How can you still be so clingy to her after dating for almost two years?
She shook her head and gave up the idea of going to watch them filming the MV tomorrow. If she went, she would be the only one who would get hurt.
The shooting site of the MV "Baby Goodnight". The photo shoot was held in a European-style villa. In November, Ye-eun's long black hair was curled into big waves. Her long eyelashes and retro and elegant makeup weakened her childish look, making her look as sexy and elegant as a Hong Kong girl from the last century.
The black suspender skirt makes her fair and delicate skin look more lustrous due to the color contrast, and her two slender legs are faintly visible under the slit skirt.
"It's cold, right? We have to wait a while before the shooting starts, so put on your coat first." Kwon Ji-yong held Ye-eun's arm and stuffed her into a long down jacket. He lowered his head and zipped up, wrapped a scarf around Ye-eun's neck, which was covered with goose bumps, and put her hands into the fully charged hand warmer in his hand.
Ye-eun, who instantly warmed up, breathed a sigh of satisfaction, "TOP oppa is not well yet?"
Kwon Ji-yong wore a gray knitted jacket over his white shirt and gray and white plaid pants. His hair was casual and lazy, and he looked no different from when he was at home.
He glanced at the messy scene and nodded, "It will probably take him half an hour to drag the clothes..."
Kwon Ji Yong stroked his chin and sighed, "One of the two unsolved mysteries of Big Bang is what is under TOP's clothes."
Although Bigbang has a dormitory, everyone has started solo in the past two years and their careers have different focuses. If they don't make a comeback, they actually have very little time to spend together. However, even when they lived together in the first two years, TOP almost never took off his clothes in front of the members.
He raised his hand and placed his arm on Ye-eun's shoulder, his face serious: "Let's make another plan next time and explore it."
Seeing the messy and busy scene of the staff in front of her, Ye En couldn't help but roll her eyes and said, "No."
They once devised a plan to solve one of Bigbang's two unsolved mysteries: "When does Daesung go to the bathroom when he never goes to the bathroom in front of the members?" The two secretly hid in Bigbang member Kwon Ji-yong's room and prepared food for a whole day, just to observe when Daesung went to the bathroom.
As a result, Dasheng in the dormitory still didn't go to the bathroom that day, and the two people who were eating and drinking in the dormitory almost suffocated themselves to death.
"Stop thinking about those bad ideas of yours." Yeen couldn't help but sigh.
Quan Zhilong said, "Tsk, are you really not curious? The members of Bigbang are really weird..."
He was just about to say that even Do Hyun was observing the world like a philosopher every day for gossip, but then he saw TOP coming out wrapped in a bathrobe.
"Puchi." Quan Zhilong couldn't help laughing. As expected, he had a black inner wear under his silk bathrobe. The black fabric tightly covered his chest which should have been exposed.
The extremely weird yet very suitable outfit made Quan Zhilong couldn't help laughing, "Ah, you are too outrageous."
TOP, who had dyed his hair white, looked down at his outfit and felt very satisfied, "They agreed."
After arguing for half an hour, the stylists were finally overwhelmed by the other person's handsomeness because of his exquisite and three-dimensional facial features: "..."
Indeed, they agreed to dress like this.
Who would refuse a male artist who looks like this! What's wrong with him just wanting to wear one more piece of clothing! ?
Just as Quan Zhilong was about to continue speaking, there was a noise behind him.
He turned his head and almost screamed out in shock at the sight.
The stagehand was holding a cage, and in the cage was a black and white snake, coiled up in boredom, its cold and terrifying eyes sweeping over the humans in front of it who were beginning to panic because of its appearance.
The snake's owner followed the staff, and there were medical staff behind him to prevent any accidents. Seeing that everyone was a little scared, the snake's owner said soothingly: "It's okay, Xiaohua is very well behaved, it won't bite, and it's okay if it bites, it's not poisonous."
Ye-eun finally understood why the president strongly recommended her to shoot this MV...
When the president said that there should, might, perhaps, there would be a small, cute snake, you called that cute! Yien stared at the snake spitting out its tongue, and a rare look of pain appeared on her face.
"Shit! I haven't talked about it for so long!" When TOP said this in a low and trembling voice, Quan Zhilong's face looked a little bad.
He looked at the more than one meter long snake with a hesitant look, "This snake looks scary, is it really not dangerous?"
Ye-eun's heart was also a little trembling. Looking at the snake coiled in the cage, she secretly cursed the president in her heart, saying that there was an MV in Zhilong and TOP Oppa's team that was very suitable for her to shoot, and they needed a beautiful, good-looking, and courageous female artist to star in it.
At that time, Ye-eun felt something was wrong and wanted to refuse, but the president said that he really couldn't find a female artist who met the requirements, and because it was considered as a favor, she would not share the profits from this filming with the company.
No profit sharing with the company! Ye-eun was instantly taken aback by this sentence and now she really regrets it. She actually used a real snake for filming. This director is really bold...
The snake seemed to notice that everyone's eyes were focused on it. Being stared at by so many blazing gazes, it couldn't help but move its coiled body and spit out its tongue at the noisy people in front of it.
The red forked tongue seemed to be attacking, and several people couldn't help but take a step back. TOP, who was arranged to be the first to take a photo with the snake, cursed in a low voice: "Ah, this pattern..."
The MV director of "Baby goodnight" is a director who specializes in shooting art films. In recent years, he has been shooting various art short films abroad. He just returned to Korea this year and was invited by YG to be responsible for the MV shooting of the entire album.
After hearing the two singers' completely different singing styles in this song that day, he quickly discussed the plot with the screenwriter, and some of the content that could not be presented directly was implied by using snakes.
There is no substantial contact, but all kinds of taboos are expressed in an oblique and ambiguous way, which is exactly the favorite shooting technique of literary and artistic directors like him.
He glanced at the three actors. He could understand the expressions on TOP and Ye Eun's faces since they had to come into direct contact with the snake, but for GD... you don't have to come into direct contact with the snake during the filming, so why is your expression so ugly?
"That's him, um, maybe his girlfriend?" Unlike the director who has been abroad for many years, the screenwriter has been living in Korea. She naturally knows about the scandal between the two. She glanced at GD who was hiding behind Ye Eun with a smile in her eyes, "So I asked you if you wanted to switch the two actresses."
The director suddenly realized and took a look at Ye Eun-xi's jacket, which seemed to be on GD in the front. He seemed to be at a loss: "Ah, but there is nothing I can do. The other actress is afraid of snakes."
When Kwon Ji-yong heard the director's words, he looked up at him silently. Really, our Ye-eun is scared too!
Our Ye-eun looks brave, but she is also a little girl. He sighed in his heart, tugged at the corner of Yien's clothes, and asked in a low voice: "Do you really dare?"
He had already started thinking that if Ye-eun didn't want to shoot, he would go and apologize to the staff, pay the penalty fee, and then treat everyone to a meal... Although everyone had worked hard for a day, this snake was indeed different from what they imagined...
"Let's give it a try..." Ye Eun sighed, saying that it was definitely impossible for her not to be afraid at all, after all, it was such a long snake, and it had to wrap around her legs and crawl all the way to her chest. However, the contract had already been signed, not to mention that this song had her participation in any case.
TOP, who was the first to take the photo, froze and asked, "Do you want to ask me first?"
I am the one at greatest risk.
However, no one suggested not to film it, as TOP leaned against the sofa, watching the snake owner open the cage with a cautious look on his face. The snake immediately snaked up along his arm. The owner patted the tip of the snake's triangular head and said in a doting tone: "Oh my god, so good, now go to this oppa."
Oppa... why do you talk to a snake like that? Everyone couldn't help but grit their teeth and look at the scene in front of them.
When his arm was entangled by the snake, TOP's back teeth were almost broken. However, after hearing the director's calm instructions, he still pinched the bottom of the snake's head with trembling hands.
"Yes, let it get closer to you, and don't be so stiff, you are the one in control!" The director calmly watched the scene in the surveillance video. The black and white patterned snake was pinched by TOP's slender hands. His cold golden pupils met the godly appearance of a human sculpture. The forbidden and exciting scene made him nod with satisfaction.
"Keep your expression relaxed and gentle, and play with it like you're flirting with a snake."
Everyone except the director and the snake's owner looked at the snake with distorted features.
And flirting with snakes...
Yi Eun couldn't help but feel her legs go weak, and she supported Kwon Ji-yong, her eyes a little dazed. Be dedicated, be dedicated! You have to take the photo once you get the money!
She was screaming in her heart, but when she saw TOP's relaxed face but his legs completely tense where the camera couldn't reach him, she couldn't help but feel like vomiting out of fear.
Quan Zhilong frowned and held her hand. When he noticed the cold sweat on her palm, he was stunned for a moment, then lowered his eyes and looked at her worriedly, "Are you scared? Don't look at it for now, let's go sit over there."
"Okay..." Ye'en nodded. She couldn't help but feel scared when she thought about waiting for the snake to crawl on her body, and she didn't even know how many times it would have to crawl before she could capture a picture that would satisfy the director.
The two found a small corner among the crowd. Quan Zhilong lowered his head, held her hand, and said softly: "If you are really scared, don't shoot. Let's see if we can find other people."
"...Zhilong, I want to drink hot tea." She pinched the sweat on her palms, looked up at Quan Zhilong and acted coquettishly, "I also want to eat a small cake."
It seems that they have decided to shoot. Quan Zhilong sighed, turned to Jin Nanguo and raised his hand: "Hiong, can you come over here for a moment?"
Jin Nanguo was also forced to hide aside by the snake and did not dare to move forward. "What's wrong?"
"Everyone must be very scared during this shoot, please ask the staff on site to eat something." Quan Zhilong called up the delivery number of Li Zhen's aunt's house on his mobile phone and sent it to his agent, "You take care of the rest. For Ye Eun, order this jasmine tea and this peach cake."
The agent nodded and understood immediately, and suddenly said something like "Everyone has worked hard, please treat us to something to eat", but Ye Eun just wanted to eat.
He made an OK gesture, and just as he walked out of the shooting site, he heard TOP's terrified cry behind him. Even though he was afraid of snakes, he curiously leaned over to take a look.
TOP, who always looks unruly but is actually very fond of crying, was frightened by the snake that suddenly approached him, stretched its head out and spit out its tongue, and burst into tears.
“Ah! Ah!” His eyes were filled with physiological tears of fear, and he was still cursing, “You scared me to death!”
Ye-eun heard TOP's uncontrollable scream and couldn't help but turn her head to look. Quan Zhilong also leaned over slightly and sighed, "Ah... I was scared."
They felt both amused and worried as they watched the Big Bang eldest brother cursing and crying in front of so many staff members.
"TOP Oppa's personality..." Ye Eun hesitated to speak.
People who play rap are all very personal. However, it seems that because he came from an underground rapper, TOP's personality is actually very straightforward, and he never hides it even in front of the camera.
For example, the two of them were actually afraid. Even if they cursed in their hearts, they would never curse out loud in front of all the staff like TOP did.
In this circle, one needs to always put on a mask. Ye-eun supported her chin and looked at TOP over there. Thinking about how well they got along with Yokan, she couldn't help but feel a little worried.
This kind of personality that is not concealed in front of everyone actually seems to be particularly susceptible to the influence of other people. Ye-eun looked over there thoughtfully.
Quan Zhilong immediately knew what she was worried about, and touched her head with a smile, "Don't worry, I will take care of him and will not let the last incident happen again."
Yien looked up at him and curled her lips, "That's good. By the way, I heard that Yokan seems to like the president's bar."
"Ah?" The topic suddenly changed. Quan Zhilong was stunned for a moment. Seeing her half-smiley eyes, he nodded thoughtfully, "I see."
After all, there were so many people around them. Even if they only needed one sentence to be understood by the other party, they were still afraid that outsiders would hear something. The two of them stopped talking about this topic and just sat quietly aside waiting for the next shooting.
Until the "Zhentian" dessert was served, Ye Eun sipped the jasmine tea. As the warm tea entered her stomach, she looked at the director who greeted her, took a deep breath, and handed the tea in her hand to Kwon Ji-yong.
Because the filming was in the bedroom, most of the staff were just waiting in the living room. The director looked at GD, who had not even looked at his own members' filming before, and now he was staring at the filming intently.
Well, even the members were scared just now and didn’t come over. The director couldn't help but smile. In front of directors like them who were into art and often analyzed characters, GD's "double standard" was too obvious.
The coat was put on him again. Kwon Ji-yong held the jasmine tea that Yi-eun had drunk in front of him. Looking at Yi-eun lying on the bed with her long legs exposed, he had no distracting thoughts in his mind. Instead, he lowered his head and took a sip of jasmine tea because of nervousness.
After all, you are young and you can’t hide it at all. The director raised his eyebrows, looked at the lying girl and waved, "Don't be afraid, we're going to release the snake now."
