Chapter 280 Black Swan and White Swan
After writing the story, the plot of the MV short film based on the story was roughly determined. Odney's music company also took action quickly. First, some staff took the script to the building's filming floor to set up, followed by the ordering of clothes, and then the constant adjustment of lyrics and music scores.
With the busy work of nearly a hundred people, the entire MV shooting work was finally completed before dark in the afternoon. It must be said that it was very efficient. This is also due to the fact that the "Aglaia District" is a place with highly concentrated industries. It is very easy to find costume designers, set designers, tuners, composers, and a series of related professionals. Even if the company is short of staff, it can quickly find foreign aid to fill the gap.
"It's almost ready." Odney stood in front of the dressing mirror, checked her clothes and dress for the last time, and asked the assistant beside her.
"No problem, Miss Second, we have checked the scene, and it is still the familiar filming floor on the 28th floor. Now we just need to wait for Miss Tilan to change her clothes and we can go over." She looked about 28 years old, wearing a professional suit, very capable.
"OK, I'll go check on Tilan." After smoothing out her snow-white and complicated dress, Odney walked to the side compartment and knocked on the door.
"Is Tilan ready? Do you want me to come in and help?"
"Yes, I do." The black-haired girl inside sat in front of the dressing mirror, looking at the complicated black dress in front of her with a little distress, not knowing where to start.
After entering and closing the door, Odney found it funny to see Tilan holding the dress and hesitating, and then walked to her side to help Tilan explain one by one.
"This part of the lining should be put on first, that is the bustle, and this piece needs to be fixed with invisible tape, and the wings on the side are for the staff to help you put on after you are done."
"It feels very complicated."
"It's like this, you'll get used to it. If Tilan is not shy, you can ask the staff to help you put it on, which will be much faster."
"Oh, forget it." The girl was still a little uncomfortable with putting on and taking off clothes in front of outsiders, even in front of the same sex, and rejected Odney's proposal.
"It's okay. I'll help you put it on. You'll get used to it later. Come to think of it, this should be Tilan's first time shooting a music MV. I suddenly feel very honored. If someone writes about Tilan online in the future, the first line will definitely be the song I shot with you~" Odney helped Tilan put on the complicated and elegant black swan dress, and then talked about some interesting things in her life as a singer.
"There are quite a few singers in the Central Star Region, and they occasionally meet and get together for some shows."
"Because they are singers, they are very good at reading minds and emotions, so chatting is sometimes very awkward. For example, some segments are actually not that interesting, but for the show effect, or to achieve a certain plot and plot, they have to act."
"It's okay normally, but when there are singers in each other's presence, the other party can feel your reluctance and inner complaints and dislike, and sometimes you have to cooperate in acting together. Hahaha, that feeling, sometimes I really want to laugh."
"Some senior singers control their emotions and expressions very well, and people can't tell. But some of the new generation, like me. Or 'Blue Bubble' Mei Lulu, who is younger than me, can't help but laugh on the spot or fail to manage their expressions, forcing the program crew to save the situation temporarily."
"It's like this for public shows, and it's also the case for private gatherings. There can't be too many people, especially when there are multiple singers together, it will be weird."
"Why is it weird?" the girl was curious.
"Because it's too straightforward. For example, when everyone goes out to eat together, under normal circumstances, some of them may not like this restaurant or are not interested in this type of food, but in order to consider everyone, they will remain silent or hide this opinion."
"But the singers can't hide it, so it becomes a hell where only the truth can be told. She feels that she doesn't like it and hates it, and other singers can feel it. This kind of disagreement cannot be ignored. You can't force the other party to go with you when you know that the other party doesn't like it. That's too rude."
"It seems to be true." Tilan nodded thoughtfully, and then looked at Odney in front of her. The other party was filled with a faint joy at this moment.
"But there are also benefits, for example, singers with similar personalities and hobbies will have a closer relationship with each other. The experience of mutual understanding and mutual resonance is far beyond that of ordinary friends."
"That's right, for example, I like Tilan very much now. Does Tilan know about this feeling?" As she said, Odney blinked at Tilan in front of the mirror. This straightforward emotion made the black-haired girl in the mirror feel shy and embarrassed.
She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but she didn't know what to say to resolve the situation.
"Okay, okay, I won't embarrass Tilan, haha~ I know what Tilan is thinking, maybe she's embarrassed and ignorant, but she really doesn't hate me, I'm very happy about that."
After the two gradually became familiar with each other, Odney gradually returned to her daily nature, instead of the dignified, gentle and polite appearance of a lady from a noble family when they first met.
Speaking of which, she and Feng Jianxue are indeed siblings. They often bicker with each other and make fun of each other, but their relationship is indeed very good.
"Okay, the makeup is done, ding ding ding~ The gorgeous black swan girl Heshia, appear~"
The two stood in front of the mirror, one black and one white, wearing the same style but complex swan dresses of opposing colors. The dress exposed their shoulders, and the V-neckline had delicate pleated floral decorations, in which the white and delicate collarbones of the two could be vaguely seen. The interlaced rope waist made the slightly immature body curves of the two stand out, and with the feather wings behind them, there was a fairy tale style far away from reality.
After carefully comparing each other's makeup and cheeks, the two of them took up their makeup foundation and touched up each other's makeup, thus adjusting the contours and shadows of the lower face again, and then their appearances moved closer to the middle direction.
Finally, the two people who had finished dressing up stood in front of the mirror, like natural twins, and the collision of the two people with the same appearance but different temperaments created a different kind of impact.
"This is simply wonderful. It's like a peerless and beautiful woman standing in front of you, but with double, no, it's a higher level, more amazing joy, this black and white impact, this damn sense of fate, oh, the fairy tale princess in my dream, you finally walked out of that distant and hazy dream and came in front of me, so clear that it makes my heart beat uneasily, as if I was holding a fragile and priceless crystal treasure in my hand, I dare not shake it easily, ah, my princess, the person of my dreams, my lifelong wish, I am willing to die at this moment, just because I have no regrets in my life~~"
When the two came out, everyone present was amazed by the appearance of the two singers, and some of them were particularly fanatical, even talking without thinking, falling into a state of madness, and began to talk nonsense.
"Okay, don't embarrass yourself." Odney smiled and walked to the costume designer who was kneeling on the ground and mumbling non-stop. She lifted the shoe with white wings, stepped on the back of his hand, and twisted it gently.
"Ah--" A burst of pain finally made the costume designer dressed as an artist sober up.
Seeing that he had recovered, Odney retracted her foot and turned back to Tilan's side.
"It's getting late, let's start preparing. We have to finish the MV today. Tilan has to go back tomorrow."
"Understood!" Everyone was also full of excitement and enthusiasm at this time, and they acted quickly.
"Camera No. 1 is in place."
"Camera No. 2 is in place."
"Camera No. 3 is in place."
...
"Camera No. 15 is in place."
"The lighting technicians are in place.
" "Adjust the light source and turn on the fill light."
"The simulation environment is being set up and details are being refined."
"The props are being set up."
"After the environment and props are set up, start isolating external noise."
"Turn on natural wind generation."
"Turn on white noise from birds, insects and animals."
"Musicians are in place and the sound check has begun."
"The sound check is complete, the two lead singers are entering."
At this time, Tilan and Odni entered the prepared venue, with the background of a classical boudoir in a castle palace.
At first, the camera only shows the back of the girl. Several maids are combing her hair and putting on various accessories for her. Then the camera gradually moves away, revealing the whole room. You can see a bed covered with white rose petals, elegant and luxurious furniture in the room, and even the pearl pendant on the girl's ear is priceless.
Then the camera turns again, and the center gradually moves closer to the beautifully carved and slightly weird dressing mirror in the room.
The girl's face is clearly shown in the mirror. She has a delicate nose, slender and slightly upturned eyebrows, and long white and light gold hair, which is particularly beautiful.
Suddenly, the girl in the mirror blinks her eyes, showing a completely different hair color from the girl outside the mirror. The snow-white princess dress also turns black in the mirror.
The princess in front of the mirror is not surprised or surprised by this phenomenon, but shows a mysterious smile, presses her fingers lightly on the mirror, and matches her palm with the mirror.
The weirdness in this scene was not noticed by the maids. Perhaps in their eyes, the girl in the mirror at this moment is still exactly the same as before the mirror.
After finishing her makeup, the maid lifted the girl's skirt and walked out of the room with her. Then the scene rotated and they came to a magnificent hall.
There were distinguished guests in gorgeous clothes. They each wore masks and danced in pairs on the dance floor, spinning from time to time, like plump and blooming roses.
Along the way, the princess talked with the guests in the hall one after another, and various mirrors appeared from time to time in the picture. Some were stereoscopic mirrors in the corners of the hall, some were small mirrors on the table, some were reflections of wine glasses, and some were silhouettes on exquisite porcelain plates.
In these mirrors, girls in black and white dresses kept alternating, and the girl walking in the hall sometimes had white hair and white dresses, and sometimes black hair and black dresses, and would keep alternating according to the guests and objects she faced.
After talking and greeting many distinguished guests along the way, the princess finally came to the king and his wife, but because of the camera, only half of the king and his wife were shown here, and their faces were not shown.
Later, under the guidance of the king, the princess looked forward, and a prince wearing a striking white dress and a white butterfly mask appeared. He had an exquisite crown, which contrasted with the beautiful silver crown on the princess's forehead, suggesting that they were equal in status and were destined to be partners.
Standing on the dance floor, the princess had black hair and a black dress, and then white hair and a white dress. She looked at the prince opposite her with hope, and then walked over step by step. The shadow of her half body brushed across the table, and the reflections in the porcelain plate and wine glass kept changing until the two of them held their fingers and froze. The
princess in a white dress embraced the prince and then danced together. They spun on the dance floor, and the snow-white skirt fluttered like swan feathers, so beautiful that it became the center of everyone's attention.
In the corner behind the audience, in the standing mirror on the corner of the wall, another girl with black hair and a black dress watched this scene silently.
Later at night, the princess returned to her boudoir and stood in front of the dressing mirror again, but this time she was the only one in the room, without any other maids.
Looking at themselves in the mirror, the two girls began to argue, and then the girl in the white dress in front of the mirror lowered her head and remained silent, then suddenly picked up a pair of scissors and smashed it heavily on the mirror.
The mirror broke, blood flowed from her fingers, she covered her face and cried, and then fell asleep.
The next day, she met the prince again, the two took a walk together, dated together, time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was their wedding.
Under the attention of everyone, the prince put a crown on the princess, and then the two hugged and swore, holding their fingers together, and everyone cheered, lively and joyful.
But in another gray world, the girl with black hair and black dress sat under the broken mirror with her knees hugged, and could only see the world outside the mirror through the only small fragment in front of her, feeling extremely lonely.
The married life was happy and joyful, and the princess in the white dress and white hair gradually forgot her other self and seemed to have completely entered a brand new life.
However, another girl of low status but charming and cunning began to approach the prince.
She first fell in front of the prince, causing the handsome prince to pity her, and then she showed her delicate side, which made the prince unable to bear it, so he picked her up and sent her back to his residence.
In this way, the two gradually became familiar with each other. The girl who liked to act like a spoiled child and obeyed the prince began to win the prince's heart, while the princess, who was originally the legal wife, was gradually neglected.
Until one day, the princess finally couldn't help it, found the girl and slapped her, and this was also used by the girl who had planned it.
The prince arrived in time and saw the beaten girl and the arrogant princess, and began to accuse his original lover of cruelty and jealousy.
The relationship between the two began to deteriorate, and then under the design of the cunning girl, one misunderstanding after another unfolded, and the relationship between the princess and the prince became worse and worse.
Finally, one night, after the princess drank the wine handed by the prince, she vomited blood, and then her body lost strength and was in great pain. She wanted to ask, but she couldn't speak. She reached out to grab the prince's clothes, but was thrown away by the other party in disgust.
Only then did the princess understand the prince's coldness and determination, but there was no one around her who could help her.
The dying princess rolled and struggled in the room, but the door was locked and she couldn't knock it open. Tears of despair kept flowing down.
Perhaps only at this moment did she remember the other self she once was, the self in the mirror.
But the new dressing mirror in the room was no longer the magic mirror. She could only knock on the mirror in vain, but there was no response.
Annoyance, remorse, pain, despair, hatred, and overflowing emotions tortured her, making her body twisted and her snow-white dress gradually stained red.
Finally, she cut her wrist with a sharp weapon, letting the blood flow on the mirror, and then wrote curse words one by one until her eyes slowly lost focus, slowly closed, and lay in front of the dressing mirror, as if asleep.
The bloodstained mirror now glowed slightly, and the patterns on the corners of the mirror became twisted, like dark vines stretching out. The originally polluted mirror became clean again, and a girl with long black hair and long dress was reflected in it.
The girl lying in front of the dressing mirror slowly raised her head, and her long hair and dress began to change color, while the girl in the white dress in the mirror fell asleep forever.
The new wedding was held in the church again. Just as everyone was celebrating the union of the prince and the girl and cheering for them, the door suddenly opened, and the princess in a black dress slowly stepped into the scene.
Her appearance surprised the guests and the prince, while the girl in the prince's arms showed contempt, as if she was laughing at the struggle of a loser.
However, soon everyone stopped laughing.
At the wave of the dark princess, knights in black full body armor walked into the scene. They held long swords with black swan patterns and pierced and chopped down the guests who came to congratulate them. Screams and panic spread everywhere.
Soon, the entire interior of the church turned into a dark and beautiful place. The guests fell to the ground and the dark red blood bloomed like red roses on the snow-white marble floor.
The prince hugged the girl beside him and trembled, kneeling on the ground to beg for mercy, while the girl in the black dress approached step by step until she stopped in front of the two of them.
Just when the prince thought that the girl in the black dress forgave her, the girl in the black dress reached out to the knight on the side.
A bloody long sword was placed in her hand, and then in the prince's enlarged and horrified eyes, the blade swung down, and the blood splashed on the girl next to her. She struggled, her fingers fumbling in the blood and corpses, and then kept shrinking back like a mouse.
Seeing her like this, the black-haired girl's mouth twitched slightly, and then she turned and left without looking back.
Seeing the black-haired girl leave, the girl curled up in the corner breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she had escaped this revenge and trial.
But three days later, in the square in the city, this cunning and scheming girl was tied to the stake and burned to death for the crime of murdering the prince.
After all this was over, the princess with long black hair and dress stood in front of the tombstone, staring for a long time, until finally, she placed a bouquet of black roses and white roses on it, and turned and left.
The picture gradually darkened, and the whole story ended here. At the end of
"Dark Fairy Tale: White Swan and Black Swan"
, this line of title in artistic font slowly appeared, and the picture froze here.
