Chapter 10 MV Shooting
After the theme song re-evaluation was completed, the atmosphere in the dormitory finally warmed up and everyone's tense nerves relaxed.
They started talking and laughing, and even made jokes. At the same time, Ding Zai's fun-loving nature could no longer be concealed.
Ding Zai collapsed on the bed with lifeless eyes, mumbling to himself as he wanted to cry but couldn't, "My mother told me since I was little that when I grow up I'll raise pigs. The pigs eat three meals and I eat five. I sleep when the pigs sleep and I wake when the pigs wake.
I didn't listen to my mother. When I grew up, I embarked on the road to star dreams. From then on, I ate three meals a day when the pig ate, I didn't sleep when the pig slept, and I still didn't sleep when the pig woke up.
Ah—I was wrong, my mother!
Your dearest son, the bags under his eyes are almost falling to the corners of his mouth. This has undoubtedly plunged a deep and sharp knife into your heart..."
Xie Qingyu and Gu Yan were cleaning up the dormitory garbage left behind after practice. When they heard Ding Zai's words, they both couldn't help but smile.
"Heaven, earth, if I were given another chance to choose, I would say——"
Ding turned over and sat up, raised his left hand slightly, covered his mouth with his right hand, and began to act.
"Yo! Yo! Sing and dance, sing and dance, I want to diss you. Sing and dance day and night, I want to diss you"
Everyone in the dormitory could no longer hold back their laughter.
Then Ding Zai quickly got out of bed and ran to Wei Liangchen's bedside, staring at him. Wei Liangchen had some idea of Ding Zai's style, so he raised his eyebrows and signaled Ding Zai to say whatever he wanted to say and fart whenever he wanted.
Ding Zai held Wei Liangchen's hand tightly and asked earnestly: "Brother, can you give me magic skills so that I can become as handsome as you?"
Wei Liangchen raised his chin slightly and looked at him through his nose, saying that it would be best if he gave up his desire to compare with others!
Ding Zai was stunned for a long time, turned around and buried his head in Xie Qingyu's shoulder, and began to cry and complain: "Wuwuwuwuwuwuwu, Brother Qingyu, no..."
He realized something was wrong halfway through shouting and changed his words again.
"Wuwuwu, my brother Qingyu, that man has such a cruel heart. How could he hurt an innocent young heart like this?"
Xie Qingyu took over the role, patted his shoulder, and looked at the unreasonable Wei Liangchen with an "accusing" look.
Wei Liangchen turned her head coldly like a proud young lady!
Gu Qi also became interested. He put his hand on Ding Zai's shoulder and looked at him with a sad look. He wanted to say something but hesitated, and finally let out a long sigh.
"well----"
Weiran did not join them, but just sat by the bed, looking at them quietly with a smile.
After playing around for a while, Ding took out a deck of Werewolf cards from his suitcase and enthusiastically suggested, "Come on, let's play a game of Werewolf and relax!"
In the dormitory, except for Liu Xiu who had gone to look for his teammates, the other five people were all there. Ding Zai looked at the number of people and frowned: "We are still short of people. Not enough to play with."
At this moment, Leo just poked his head in from the door, and when he saw Xie Qingyu's face light up, he was about to squeeze in.
When he heard that he was going to play games, he immediately ran back to his dormitory excitedly and called his roommate You Jinzhao over.
Seeing this, Ding Zai simply went out to visit the dormitories and randomly pulled two people over to make up the number.
"Okay, everyone's here!" Ding Zai clapped his hands, smiling smugly. "I'll be the host. Let me explain the rules to everyone first."
“Werewolf is divided into two camps: the villagers camp and the werewolf camp.
The goal of the villagers is to find the werewolves, and the werewolves' goal is to eliminate all villagers or clergy.
Balabala (200 words omitted)
Okay, everyone understands?"
Ding blinked and scanned everyone present one by one.
Everyone nodded. Although some people were not familiar with the rules, they were still eager to try.
At the beginning of the first game, Xie Qingyu got a werewolf identity card.
He is not very good at playing, but he is lucky and has a nice face.
He put on an innocent look, as if he knew nothing.
Damn it, everyone knew it wasn’t him at first glance.
As for the result, I can only say it was just so so, it was a relatively easy win.
In the second game, Xie Qingyu got the prophet's identity card, but he was killed on the first night.
However, our camp has Gu Qiong and Wei Liangchen, both of whom are very good at playing, and they finally successfully cast the werewolf Wei Ran.
After playing a few more games, Liu Xiu returned to the dormitory. He first glanced at the cameraman behind Gu Qiong, but didn't say anything. He just sat back on his bed with a bad look on his face.
The atmosphere in the dormitory was a bit awkward. The two people Ding Zai had called over looked at each other and said it was too late and they should go back to rest. You Jinchao also took Leo, who was reluctant to leave, back to his own dormitory.
Ding Zai saw the stagnant atmosphere and scratched his head, but still explained to Liu Xiu, "Well, I went to your teammate's dormitory, and their roommate said you guys were out."
Liu Xiu looked at Ding Zai innocently, but turned to the camera and said, "I didn't say anything, right? I practiced for too long and was too tired, so I didn't perform well in the official evaluation.
Let's go to the practice room together to prepare for tomorrow's theme song music video shoot. And you don't have to ask me to play games. I don't usually play these games. If..."
Wei Liangchen was too lazy to listen to his chatter, so he took his toiletries and went out to wash up.
Xie Qingyu looked at Ding Zai with amusement as he was almost confused by Liu Xiu. He took the initiative to interrupt Liu Xiu and said gently: "You must be exhausted from practicing today. Then rest early and prepare for tomorrow's MV shooting."
Liu Xiu just said that he was practicing for the MV shooting, he can't just say that he is not tired when others care about him, wouldn't that be contradicting himself?
After finishing the performance with a sense of reluctance, I took my toiletries and went out to wash up.
Ding Zai turned around and looked at Xie Qingyu with gratitude with his back to the camera. Xie Qingyu shook his head slightly.
It was indeed getting late, and Gu Yan signaled to the cameraman that everyone should rest. The cameraman nodded, turned off the camera, and left the dormitory.
Then, Xie Qingyu and others also went to wash up, turn off the lights and rest.

The next morning, the announcement came on time. The athletes were already accustomed to this rhythm, getting up, washing up, and changing into training clothes, all in one go.
After the broadcast stopped, Qu Qinghuan's voice rang out again: "Good morning, contestants! Please go to the cafeteria for lunch as soon as possible. After lunch, gather outside the cafeteria. We will be filming the theme song music video today."
Xie Qingyu and Leo went to the cafeteria together. Today's breakfast seemed to have a much richer variety than usual.
Usually there are only simple steamed buns, porridge, eggs and pickles, but today there are also pancakes, soy milk, fried dough sticks and steamed dumplings.
Leo's eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "Brother, today's breakfast is so rich!"
Xie Qingyu smiled and picked up a pancake and a cup of soy milk, while Leo took a basket of dumplings and a bowl of porridge.
The seats in the cafeteria were almost full. The two saw that there were two empty seats next to Gu Yan and Bai Lang, so they walked over and sat down.
"Good morning." Xie Qingyu greeted softly.
Gu Qi nodded and replied softly, "Good morning." He had almost finished eating.
Bai Lang simply said "hmm" and continued to eat his breakfast with his head down.
While eating his soup dumplings, Leo said excitedly, "I'm shooting the music video today. I'm so excited! I wonder what the scenes will be like."
Gu Zheng leaned on the edge of the table, supporting his chin with his hand. He couldn't help but want to tease Leo. He frowned slightly and said in embarrassment: "Don't get too excited. Filming is a physical job."
Asking Leo, a man with a brother complex, only yielded one result. He raised his lips confidently, looked at Xie Qingyu sitting opposite him, and boasted, "As long as my brother is here, I'm not afraid!"
Gu Zheng looked at Leo with a smile on his face, and the smile in his voice could not be concealed.
"Are you a puppy? Do you need a guardian wherever you go?"
Leo nodded as a matter of course and said, "I am just my brother's puppy."
Gu Yan slammed the table and laughed. Bai Yan grabbed the tissue beside him and wiped the smile from the corner of his mouth.
Xie Qingyu coughed twice and gave Leo a look, signaling him to stop.
Leo didn't understand what Xie Qingyu meant. He thought he was choking and hurried to get him some water.
Xie Qingyu had no choice but to stand up and hold Leo. She was exhausted and didn't want to talk anymore.
(Xie Qingyu: Don’t say anything out loud, got it?)
(Leo: [Puppy nods] Okay, bro)
(Leo: My brother won’t let me call me his puppy anymore)
(Xie Qingyu: [:])………)

After the meal, the program crew’s bus had already arrived at the cafeteria entrance.
The contestants lined up to get on the bus one by one. Leo still sat next to Xie Qingyu, looking around excitedly along the way.
After arriving at the shooting location, the staff took everyone to change into the uniform student uniforms for the shooting.
The uniform is a silver slim-fitting suit with tassels on the shoulders. It is well-tailored, looking both fashionable and dignified.
After putting it on, Leo spun around excitedly: "Brother, do you think I'm handsome?"
Xie Qingyu raised her eyebrows slightly, and after a quick look, she gave him a thumbs-up in affirmation: "Super handsome."
After changing clothes, everyone lined up to put on makeup.
The first scene was shot indoors, and the production crew rented a gymnasium.
The contestants are arranged one by one according to their ratings, and the teams form a triangle.
Xie Qingyu stood in the front and led the group, with Gu Yan and Bai Lang beside him, and Leo behind him.
Leo poked Xie Qingyu gently with his finger from behind and whispered, "Brother, I'm right behind you!"
Xie Qingyu turned around and smiled, then responded softly, "Perform well."
Gu Yu found it interesting and poked Xie Qingyu, whispering, "Xiao Xie, I'm on your left."
Xie Qingyu didn't want to bother with this person with bad taste anymore. Gu Qiong was the kind of person who looked gentle, good-tempered and nice, but he was actually a bit sinister at heart.
Within two seconds, someone poked him from behind again. Xie Qingyu turned to look at Gu Yan. Gu Yan looked at him innocently and pointed at Bai Yan on the right.
Bai Tang on the right also whispered: "I'm on your right"
Even Bai Lang was led astray, and Xie Qingyu turned back with despair. What kind of people are these!
The cameraman in the front looked at the camera, frowned, and signaled the staff to adjust the positions of several people.
Gu Zheng was moved slightly back, while Bai Lang was pushed forward a little.
The cameraman nodded with satisfaction and motioned for everyone to get into position and get ready to begin.
The cameraman yelled "Action" and the music started.
Xie Qingyu raised his chin slightly following the rhythm, looking directly into the camera, his eyes blazing with a fierceness that seemed to control the entire situation.
In an instant, it releases its unique aura without reservation, as if declaring its absolute home court.
The cameraman's heart sank and he couldn't help but take a close-up shot.
The boy's smile is bright and confident, as if it can penetrate the screen and touch people's hearts.
After the first round, the cameraman asked the staff to adjust the positions of several people and hide the contestants who did not perform well in the camera behind.
Then, the shooting continued over and over again.
Although the cameraman did not call for a stop, the contestants' movements became smoother and their expressions became more natural, not as exaggerated as the first time.
The last time, Xie Qingyu's head was already slightly sweaty, but his eyes were still bright and there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
When it came to the aerial beat of the chorus, he winked and smiled at the camera again, his movements were neat and his expression management was impeccable.

After the shooting was over, the cameraman did not shout "Action" again, but asked everyone to rest aside.
After he finished pulling the images on the monitor, he notified the staff to ask the contestants from Class A to come out for some close-up shots, and also called a few contestants with good looks.
Among them, of course, there are tough and handsome types like Wei Liangchen.
After the close-up shots were completed, the contestants ate some boxed lunches prepared by the production crew, then packed up and prepared to go to the next scene.
Many fans and supporters had already come to the outside of the stadium after hearing the news. They were holding up their mobile phones and cameras and taking pictures of the players crazily.
"Jiangbao! Jiangbao! Mommy is here to see you again ahhhhhhhhhh"
"Ahhh look at the camera, they are all so handsome."
"Gu Yan! I love you!"
"Good morning, my dear! My baby is so beautiful!"
"Xie Qingyu! Leo! Look here, cat and dog cpszd ah ah ah ah!"
"Qian Song!"
The fans screamed one after another, and the contestants waved and greeted with smiles on their faces.
Xie Qingyu was about to get on the bus when he suddenly heard a familiar voice calling his name. He turned around and waved in that direction before getting on the bus.
Lin Lulu finally squeezed to the front row and happened to see Xie Qingyu's back as she was about to get on the car. She had seen the news online and drove more than 20 kilometers from home without stopping.
He raised his camera and shouted at Xie Qingyu's back without any hope: "Xie Qingyu!"
Unexpectedly, he actually turned around and waved at her with a smile. Lin Lulu almost shed tears, and her hands holding the camera were shaking.

The afternoon shoot was a real-life shoot, taking place in a wetland park.
The director asked the contestants to imagine the wetland park as a grassland and run on it.
Xie Qingyu looked at the scene in front of him, speechless and wanting to laugh, but at the same time a little relieved: "Fortunately, we haven't put up four green screens yet."
However, as predicted, the green screen shooting began that evening.
The contestants stood in front of the green screen and performed various actions according to the director's instructions. Although it was a bit funny, everyone was very serious.
---
After a day of filming, the contestants were taken back to the base dormitory.
The contestants were exhausted and fell asleep after a simple wash.
In the dormitory, Ding Zai lay on his bed and grumbled softly, "I feel more tired than training. It really is like a mountain that is more tiring than the other."
Xie Qingyu smiled and said softly, "Rest early, you still have tasks tomorrow."
The lights in the dormitory dimmed, and everyone's breathing mixed together.
