Zhou Yiyang spent a total of three days in Havana before he finally came up with the theme and plan for the MV shooting.
After Zhou Yi Yang rented the area for filming, Yue Shao and his three companions also flew to this tropical city in the Caribbean region.
"Do we really have to dress like this?" Su Yin asked after putting on sunglasses. "Will it be too hot?"
"I'm feeling hot too," Lin Xuan'er spread her hands. "But Brother Yang said we're quite popular here, so we'd better listen to him. If we get recognized later, with their enthusiastic style, we might not be able to leave here today."
"I seem to see us..." Wang Xingrui suddenly said, raising her head.
Tang Yue, who was beside her, was stunned for a moment, obviously not understanding what Wang Xingrui wanted to express: "What are you talking about, seeing us? You saw the mirror, right?"
Su Yin followed Wang Xingrui's gaze and immediately understood what she meant: "I understand, Ruirui is referring to our advertisement!"
Lin Xuan'er also took a look and immediately opened her eyes wide in surprise: "It really is us! And in such a conspicuous place at the airport!"
"This should be the advertisement we made for Yves Saint Laurent," Tang Yue said excitedly. "I've only seen it a few times in China. I didn't expect it to be launched here first."
After saying this, the four of them disguised themselves very cleverly, fearing that they would be recognized.
It wasn't until they walked onto the street that they realized their presence was everywhere in the city.
Everywhere you look, you see advertisements for the products they endorse. Every store plays "Havana." Children line the streets, phones in hand, watching their dances on TikTok and imitating them.
"We're surprisingly so popular." Su Yin was actually a little excited watching this scene. She had thought she had long been immune to it. "Before, when Sister Liu used all kinds of data to explain it, I didn't really feel anything. But after coming here and seeing all this, I realized that we became famous overnight thanks to this song."
"Yeah," Tang Yue said with a sigh. She suddenly remembered that when she was little, she would listen to European and American pop music in China and be crazy about their artists. In junior high, she would also listen to Korean boy bands and Japanese pop music. Who would have thought that the songs sung by the four of them would become popular abroad as well? "If we can shoot the music video well this time, the popularity should be even higher."
"Well, after we become more well-known overseas, we can also export the Chinese songs we sing to them." Lin Xuaner said with emotion.
"Then we have to speed up and meet up with Brother Yang first." Wang Xingrui said with a smile.
After Zhou Yiyang arrived, he observed their expressions and said with a smile, "It seems that you are aware of your popularity here?"
"Yeah." Su Yin nodded and said, "Brother Yang, let's stop talking nonsense and start filming!"
Zhou Yiyang was shocked by their spirit: "Are you guys crazy? Don't worry, it's going to rain here tonight, let's shoot tomorrow."
"Shoot at night?" Tang Yue touched the back of her head, unable to guess what Zhou Yiyang's theme was.
However, based on their understanding of Zhou Yiyang, this MV is definitely not just about them dancing and lip syncing.
"Of course," Zhou Yiyang said with a smile. "We'll also be filming during the day. Don't worry, the song's popularity is still growing, so we have time. Once the MV is released, coupled with your on-site promotion, it should be at its peak popularity. If we don't win by then, we won't force it."
"Indeed," Lin Xuan'er nodded solemnly. "A list without any credibility should just be treated as an unofficial list."
"So what are we going to do today?" Wang Xingrui asked curiously.
"Let me show you around," Zhou Yiyang snapped his fingers. "First, I'll take you to the old town. There are quite a few ancient buildings there. Oh, and I heard that Havana's Chinatown is the largest in Latin America. You can go see it, too."
The four of them naturally followed Zhou Yiyang's pace with joy.
For Su Yin, traveling to an unfamiliar city and tasting its local cuisine is definitely the part she looks forward to most.
Zhou Yiyang also knew this, so he took them to a place that looked like a food stall.
"There are so many people here!" Tang Yue didn't expect this unassuming food stall to be so crowded. "Brother Yang, you didn't see this internet-famous place on TripAdvisor, did you?"
"Of course not." Zhou Yiyang shook his head calmly and said, "It was recommended by the locals. They said the food here is delicious."
They didn't ask which local person it was.
Su Yin was standing at the door, staring intently at the boss grilling the meat. Hearing the sizzling sound of the meat and smelling the aroma of oil in the air, all of this made Su Yin feel excited.
After they found a seat and sat down, Zhou Yiyang generously ordered one of everything on the menu.
Fortunately, this restaurant specializes in various barbecue and fried foods, so they should be able to finish what they ordered.
Su Yin's favorite dishes were the grilled prawns and roast suckling pig, which were different from anything she'd ever had before. Perhaps it was the special spices used, but the first bite gave her the feeling of strolling through the streets of a foreign country.
Wang Xingrui tried the fried pork skin. Although it looked greasy, it tasted amazing.
When they were halfway through their meal, they unexpectedly saw a few young people starting a street dance battle in the open space.
It wasn't until they heard the familiar melody that everyone's face showed an unconcealable smile.
At this time, many people in the store stood up and twisted their bodies.
The sea breeze blew across everyone's face, taking away the day's fatigue and anxiety, leaving only the carnival that melted into the night.
The four of them couldn't help but stand up and mingle with the crowd to dance along.
This happy atmosphere is contagious. Zhou Yiyang turned around, took out his camera and took a picture of this scene.
After leaving the food stall, Zhou Yiyang took them to taste Havana's desserts.
After tasting it, Su Yin was amazed and wished she had another stomach.
When they returned to the hotel, each of them still had a smile on their face.
"How do you feel about this place?" Zhou Yiyang suddenly asked.
"That's pretty wild." After Wang Xingrui said that, everyone laughed.
"Well, remember this feeling and use it when you shoot the music video."
Perhaps because of this unique perception, the filming of their MV went very smoothly and they just had to wait for it to be released on Saturday.
When Zhou Yiyang officially announced on Weibo and Twitter that the MV for "Havana" would be released soon, it once again boosted the song's performance on streaming media.
