There is still a week before the official start of the festival, and two weeks before Lee Kyung-won leaves South Korea.

Two weeks is not too long, but it is not too short, and if you hurry up a little, you can still finish the preliminary work of the song "Gangnam Style" before Li Jingyuan leaves.

If it really doesn't work, you can also change the way of working, use the master tape that has not yet been recorded as the accompaniment to shoot the MV first, and then let the PSY who sang the song find another time to go into the studio to re-record. It's a little more troublesome, but if you do it, it's definitely enough time.

Although it was just an idea that came up while drinking, after Lee Kyung-won sobered up, his mood to complete the MV of "Gangnam Style" ahead of schedule became more and more determined. There is no other reason, it is because he wants to have a good time before leaving, after all, he is going to make a movie next, and then he will come back to prepare for the Olympics, maybe he will not have the opportunity to play so happily again in half a year or even a year.

Some people may say, isn't it a job to shoot a music video? How can it be said to be playing?

Actually, if it's another song to shoot the MV, it's really an authentic working time. But now that I'm going to shoot the MV for "Gangnam Style", the situation is completely different.

In the original history, as the MV was broadcast, PSY also put some tidbits of shooting the MV on the Internet, and Lee Kyung-won had also seen these tidbits shots. In the camera, almost everyone, including the staff, goes to work with a smile on their faces. Not to mention PSY and the few unchallenged members who made cameos, they didn't mess around during the filming.

The original version was filmed while playing, so it was replaced by Li Jingyuan. If you don't make sense, you will become very serious. If you think about it, you can understand that PSY was shooting a music video for his new song at that time, and no matter how casual he was, it was impossible for him to completely ignore the quality of the work. And what about Li Jingyuan? The angle he was standing at would have been much easier than PSY had at the time. To put it irresponsibly, he has no direct stake in whether the MV is filmed well or not, and under this premise, it is almost inevitable to play bigger.

Hurry early, not late. The day after the 'intermediate check' was over, Lee Kyung-won made a phone call to PSY and made an appointment with him. and brought "Gangnam Style" that he drove out.

This song was originally written by PSY, and of course it is the most in line with PSY's style. So, after watching the song, PSY immediately started to get excited. One is because the quality of the song itself is good. The second is because this song is really suitable for me. PSY doesn't know the origin of this song. thought that it was really written by Li Jingyuan himself, so in his opinion, Li Jingyuan, who can write songs that are completely suitable for him, can already be regarded as his 'bosom friend'.

Such a good song will be rare at any time. PSY's mood is even more eager than Lee Kyung-won, and he really wants to make this song right away.

Of course, if you think about it, you can't be in too much of a hurry. After all, we still have to prepare for the unprovoked song festival. You have to put your mind, at least a large part of your spirit, on the preparation stage. Otherwise, you might mess up the stage of the festival, and something really will happen.

Lee Kyung-won discussed it with PSY, and finally put the shooting time of the MV a week later, that is, after the end of the Unprovoked Song Festival. It just so happened that in the week leading up to the festival, PSY was able to take advantage of the opportunity to record the song of the festival with Ha Luha, and by the way, he recorded the song of "Gangnam Style" in the studio.

This is just the most general plan, and there are a few other details that need to be perfected. After lunch, Lee Kyung-won and PSY went to MBC together and found Kim Tae-ho, who was doing editing work.

"Brother, are you busy?" Li Jingyuan is already familiar with all the studios of Wujiao. Compared with the other members, he also has the identity of a planner, so he usually not only goes to the waiting room and conference room, but sometimes comes to the recording studio and editing room because of some behind-the-scenes work. is already familiar with the way, and without being led, Lee Kyung-won took PSY directly to the editing room, and after seeing Kim Tae-ho, who was directing the work, he naturally said hello.

"Why are you here? Hello PSY West. It was a little unexpected, but Kim Tae-ho was not angry that he was interrupted from work, and he also said hello kindly.

"Brother, we have something to discuss with you." Time is precious, and Kim Tae-ho still has work to do, so it's not good to delay too much time, so Lee Kyung-won didn't rub it off, and directly said to Kim Tae-ho: "Brother PSY and I are going to make a MV for a song, and we want to let our unchallenged members participate together." Personally, I think that this may be used as a theme to shoot two episodes of the show, so I'll discuss it with you. ”

"You're with PSY West? Wait, aren't your partners Krystal and Shirley, PSY West and Haluha in a group, right? Why did you two get together again? Listening to Lee Kyung-won's words, Kim Tae-ho was a little surprised, and he thought that the song these two people were talking about was a song to be performed at the Unprovoked Song Festival.

"Brother, you think badly, it's not like that." As soon as he heard it, he knew that Kim Tae-ho had misunderstood, so Lee Kyung-won quickly explained: "Actually, it's like this, I wrote a song before, and I haven't taken it out." Didn't you drink with everyone yesterday? At that time, I chatted with Brother PSY for a while, and I felt that this song was very suitable for him, and I was ready to let him sing this song. ”

"You know PSY's style, he's very playful." As he spoke, Li Jingyuan pointed to PSY on the side again, and PSY also cooperated and showed a slightly embarrassed smile. After that, Li Jingyuan continued: "My song is the same, it has a lot of playfulness. Since it's playing, let's just let it go. Didn't this happen to coincide with the song festival, so I thought that a sheep should also be herded. The two sheep are also in a hurry, so it is better to simply call everyone together and come to make a cameo appearance in the MV performance. ”

"There's no problem on my side. Appearing in a guest music video special may sound appealing, but don't you need to discuss it with others? ”

Kim Tae-ho's words were not finished, but Lee Kyung-won and PSY understood what he meant. The filming of the MV for the members of the guest music video can be viewed from two different angles.

The members of the Unchallenged have also made guest appearances in TV dramas before, and at that time, it was the Unchallenged program team that took the initiative to find the crew and asked for a few cameo opportunities. In this case. The cameos of the unchallenged members are not paid much. To put it bluntly, the TV crew didn't invite you to come, you insisted on plugging in to make up the numbers. It's polite enough to confiscate your ticket money, let alone want to get the performance fee from the TV crew, at most it's a boxed lunch or something.

From another angle, if you put aside the non-striking factors. It's just about inviting people to act. It's a different story again. Although he is a funny artist, he is also an artist's identity in the end, and as long as he is an artist, his appearance will inevitably involve an acting fee.

Isn't there a saying called 'talking about money hurts feelings', and that's what Kim Tae-ho is worried about. In the name of the program team, the shooting of the MV is assigned as a task and the members are allowed to carry it out directly without getting paid, which is not impossible for Kim Tae-ho, the main PD of the show. But. Things are not so simple, participate in the MV. It's also a contribution to the song, and if the response to the song is not big, it's fine, but what if the response is very good? How would people react if they made a contribution, but there was no real financial return at all? You may say, 'It's okay, it's okay,' but is that really what you think in your heart?

"That's right, it's really a matter of discussion." After listening to Kim Tae-ho's words, Li Jingyuan also nodded: "Then I'll call everyone." ”

"Don't be in such a hurry." Seeing Lee Kyung-won take out the phone, Kim Tae-ho hurriedly stopped him. Lee Kyung-won was a little puzzled, and Kim Tae-ho explained: "Everyone's situation is different from yours, they are not professional musicians, and if things are piled up together, it is estimated that they will not be able to deal with it, so don't tell them at this time, let's talk about it when the song festival is over." ”

It's right to think about it, anyway, there is still a week to shoot the MV after the festival is over, and no matter how rookie the members are, a week is enough time. There really is no need to rush too much.

If you are not in a hurry, you are not in a hurry, and you can't do nothing, the members are all artists, and there are still problems with the schedule. If they don't say hello in advance, maybe they will have a conflict in their schedules and won't be able to participate in the MV shooting.

"Well, I'll let you know first, so that they can make the next week as free as possible." It's still Kim Tae-ho who is powerful, and it's not the first time he's said to the members, 'Don't ask what it's about, just empty the time', and it's just right to take it out and use it again.

That's pretty much the end of the matter, and the next thing is to wait for a week to pass and talk about it after the festival is over.

PSY needs to familiarize himself with the song and record the sound source as soon as possible. Different producers have different requirements when recording, and the finished product will feel slightly different. The song "Gangnam Style" may lose a lot of luster without PSY's characteristics, so Li Jingyuan is not ready to interfere in the recording of the song, but plans to let PSY complete the recording by himself, so that the song can be filled with his own characteristics to the greatest extent.

Coming out of the unchallenged editing room, Lee Kyung-won left MBC with PSY, but instead of going to PSY's recording studio with PSY, he didn't rush home, but started the car and set off towards the MBC branch library in Ilsan.

Today, the program "Music Center" is being recorded at the Ilsan MBC branch, and in this program, the MCs are Girls' Generation's Taeyeon, Tiffany, and Seo Hyun.

Usually, Li Jingyuan rarely goes to the scene of music programs to visit the class, so why would he suddenly do this today? Actually, he went to these girls because he had something to do, to be exact, to find Tiffany.

It's still related to the MV of "Gangnam Style".

In this MV, there are several female characters to be played, and Lee Kyung-won has promised Xiao Crystal and Shirley before. Let them play two of the unimportant roles, the two girl characters who were harassed by PSY in the riverside park in the original MV.

There is also a more important role, which is the role originally played by Hyuna. In the final analysis, there is a difference between intimacy and intimacy. Although the relationship with Hyuna is also very good, the relationship with Girls' Generation is better, and now Li Jingyuan has the ability to call the shots, of course, he wants to leave this role to the girls closest to him.

Of the nine members of Girls' Generation, there aren't many people who are suitable for the role. Taeyeon, Little Sun, and Hyoyeon are too short, Jessica, Seo Hyun, and Yoona don't have the right temperament, and Suyoung is too tall and thin. Only Yu Li and Xiao T are more suitable for this role.

Two to one, in contrast, Li Jingyuan still thinks that Xiao T is more suitable for this role.

It's not that Yori isn't sexy enough. In fact, Yu Li's figure is even better than that of Little T, otherwise he would not have become the sexy person in the Girls' Generation team.

The reason why he gave up Yu Li and chose Xiao T, Li Jingyuan still took a fancy to the facial expression of Xiao T. At first glance, you may not be able to see it. But let's compare carefully. Xiao T's expressions and movements still carry some habits she has developed since childhood, which is more Westernized. The song "Jiangnan Style" is destined to be a hit in Europe and the United States, for those Europeans and Americans, it will be more cordial for a girl like Xiao T, Li Jingyuan also took this into account, so he thought about choosing the girl Xiao T.

While thinking, I drove the car, and after about twenty minutes. Li Jingyuan came to the Rishan MBC branch. can already be regarded as his own person, and the staff will not come forward to stop him after suddenly seeing him. Li Jingyuan wandered to the filming site of "Music Center".

As it seems to have been explained in a section a long time ago, a song show like "Music Center" will be divided into two parts: recorded and live.

The recorded part is very different from the live broadcast, not only in the stage background, but also in the recording process.

If it's not a live broadcast, you have a chance to do it all over again, so of course, you have to do it to the best degree. After going on stage, if the singers are not satisfied with their performance once, they will come back several times until they pick out the best one.

A song lasts for several minutes, and if you come and play it a few times, the time will last for a long time, and there is no need for the MCs to wait all the time. And then again, there is no need for MC to host the series when recording and broadcasting, the actual situation is that the MC posts the song title on the live broadcast time, and then the program team adjusts the line and inserts the stage video that has been recorded.

In other words, Xiao T and the three of them did not stay in the studio hall at all, even if Li Jingyuan patrolled back and forth for a while, it was impossible to find the three of them.

"Jing Yuan OPPA, why are you here?" In the end, he is an artist, and he feels different from other staff, and Li Jingyuan feels different from the staff when he walks back and forth behind the camera, after all, he is not doing things like others. Therefore, after a while, Li Jingyuan was discovered by others.

"It's a good flower." When I turned my head, it turned out to be Secret's Han Shanhua. Li Jingyuan and she are both regular members of "Youth Undefeated", they have been together for a lot of time, and they are already old acquaintances, so they are naturally very relaxed when they speak: "What? You're alone? ”

"No, the kids are here, but they're not as sharp as me, and they don't recognize OPPA."

Glancing in the direction of Han Shanhua's finger, the other three members of Secret were more than ten meters away, and they were all staring at the performance of others on the stage at this time, and they didn't notice Li Jingyuan's side at all.

"OPPA, I'll call them~." Li Jingyuan is very familiar with the senior OPPA, and he also takes good care of Sceret, and writes several hit songs for them, at this time, it is impossible to be rude, Han Shanhua immediately opened his mouth towards the other three team members, ready to call their names.

"Shh~~~!" Han Shanhua opened her mouth, but she scared Li Jingyuan half to death. hurriedly stretched out his hand to cover this girl's mouth, Li Jingyuan couldn't help but count it down: "Ah~!" Do you really have a blank slate in your head? Do you know where Lu Dao is now? Do you want to shout that? Not afraid of being picked up? ”

The music is very loud, and speaking at the usual volume will not interfere with the performance on the stage, nor will it affect the recording of the show, but Han Shanhua obviously wanted to shout out loudly just now, so the situation is different.

If she really makes her shout, it will definitely affect the filming work, and the initiator Han Shanhua will definitely be taught a lesson by the PD of the show, and Li Jingyuan will inevitably be muttered. Li Jingyuan didn't want to be dragged down by this brainless girl, so he made the action of covering her mouth.

He didn't shout, but his hand was already waving. Han Shanhua's actions may not attract the attention of others, but it is impossible for her teammates to ignore them.

As soon as Quan Xiaosheng turned his head, he saw Han Shanhua being covered with her mouth and waving. Well, Li Jingyuan is indeed dressed casually today, at first glance he looks like an 'ordinary person', and Quan Xiaosheng didn't see his identity at first glance. The second is because of Han Shanhua's waving action, and in Quan Xiaosheng's opinion, Han Shanhua is not waving, but 'struggling', after all, she was covered by someone.

"Yah~! What are you doing~! Let go of the good flowers~~!! (To be continued......)
