Chapter 53 Official Album Countdown
After completing the recording of the group variety show, Fang Langxing and his friends have to return to their busy daily lives.
Their first official album is about to be released, and the shooting of the MVs for the songs in it is the top priority at the moment.
Fang Langxing and the others have grown their hair long, and they made the change intentionally after the filming of the group variety show was completed.
Lin Jingmo's hair color didn't change much, except for the addition of golden ear-hanging dye. His hair had grown a little longer and could be tied into a small bun at the back of his head. His bangs were combed back, further highlighting his handsome eyebrows and eyes.
Hua Xinyi dyed his hair platinum, a very light color, which matched his golden contact lenses and his cool temperament, making him look more divinity.
Duan Hanyun's hair was dyed a wine red, which matched his delicate eyebrows and eyes. The casual curve of his mouth was full of endless temptation, making people fall into his trap unknowingly and unable to extricate themselves.
Mu Tianya and Mu Liunian's hair was dyed silver-gray, leaning more towards gray with a metallic texture. The two of them raised their eyes and a casual glance was like a sharp arrow that pierced directly through a person's heart.
Fang Langxing changed her hair to blue-black, which was not noticeable at ordinary times, but the color would show up once she walked under the sunlight. With the same blue contact lenses, she was a stunning beauty when standing next to Duan Hanyun.
Yun Zhao's hair remained black, but was permed. The soft curls were matched with a black cross-shaped single earring, making her look like a typical playful little devil.
Zuo Chi also has black hair, and his eyes are dim and unclear due to his bangs. He also wears a solid-colored collar around his neck, and there is a small red mole at the corner of his eye, adding a touch of brightness.
Ruan Tianxi's black hair was dyed with a few red strands and he wore golden-red contact lenses. He looked like a leaping flame that made people unable to help but keep their eyes on him.
They mainly have two sets of clothes in this MV. One set is pure white with gold patterns and jewels, which is shiny. The clothes are also white robes. The material is very flowing, and there are ribbons that flutter in the wind, which makes them look ethereal.
The other set is also pure black, with the same silver patterns and gems on it. The material is thicker, and paired with a dark makeup, the whole person looks like the king of hell, sitting on the throne.
The contrast between the two sets of clothes is huge, and so is the makeup. The white set's makeup is light, which just emphasizes each person's strengths, while the black set is more dark, and the eye makeup is particularly prominent, which is very eye-catching.
Before shooting the MV, Fang Langxing narrated to the director his own story for the song. The director thought the story was great, so he added some details based on his idea and started shooting.
The protagonist in Fang Langxing's story was played by a new actress who had not yet made her debut in the company. The girl had just turned 18 and debuted as a child star. She had previously played the childhood of the protagonists in many TV dramas or their children, so her acting skills were naturally impeccable.
The little girl was also cheerful, she greeted them all generously and smiled like a little sun.
Fang Langxing and the others also thought that he was a nice kid, so they bought him afternoon tea and chatted with him for a while.
Fang Langxing has experience from his previous life. Although he has never filmed any film or television works, his experience is more than enough for shooting MVs.
Lin Jingmo and the others were even better. Their acting skills were impeccable and the filming of the plot was completed very quickly.
The next part is the dance. Because the dance for this song is really physically demanding, Lin Jingmo asked everyone to try to get it done in one go, otherwise the result might get worse the more they shoot.
Fang Langxing lacks physical strength, and Lin Jingmo's suggestion is also to take care of Fang Langxing. After all, ignoring the physical condition of the members for the sake of shooting an MV, wouldn't that be losing the big picture for the small?
Needless to say, their dancing skills are amazing, and today’s cameras can capture very comprehensive footage, so they just shot once with one set of clothes and then it was over.
The MVs for the other songs in the album were simpler and quicker to shoot, and they were completed in a short time.
They were busy filming during this period and had no time to shoot the group variety show, but fortunately, the content shot previously was enough for Director Qin to edit two episodes full of sincerity, so the fans were very satisfied. Even people who were not their fans or even those who did not follow their idols became fans because of the show.
Fang Langxing and his colleagues worked overtime to produce the album, and they were not idle either. Everyone had their own work to do. Fang Langxing was either in class or in the studio every day. His mind was full of knowledge, and he wanted to compose a song for everything he saw.
Finally, nine days before the album was released, fans were surprised to find a short five-second audio clip posted on Starye’s official website.
The audio is really short, almost only one syllable, and fans are confused and full of question marks.
[Official? Where are the official people? What are you posting? ]
[Can you tell me what this thing is that ends in a snap? ! ! ]
[This is really a preview, I didn’t hear a thing!!!]
[My friend asked me, what am I doing with a single syllable? And he said I was a god!!!]
However, no matter how the fans asked, Starye’s official remained silent, only releasing a five-second audio clip every day, without saying a single extra word.
Fans who are trying to find joy in misery can only start looking for other entertainments, and even started listening to the daily audio to find out who the owner of the voice is. However, the official does not release the content in chronological order of age, so there is no way to guess, and people have started discussing in the comment section every day.
"What's the content of the new album?" Fang Langxing was doing a live broadcast in the studio that day.
Fans who are confused by the content released every day can only come to him to ask.
"No, no, I can't tell anyone. We have an agreement that if anyone reveals the secret, there will be punishment." Fang Langxing shook his head like a rattle, firmly expressing his determination not to reveal the secret.
【Just tell me? Just reveal a little bit! 】
Some fans started to act coquettishly in the barrage, but Fang Langxinglang was as hard as iron and remained unmoved.
Seeing that they couldn't persuade him, the barrage began to ask other questions.
【Then can you tell us what the punishment you set is? 】
"It's very scary. I'm afraid it will scare you when I tell you about it." Fang Langxing felt a chill on his back when he thought about the punishment. He shuddered and said, "We have to eat the meal that Brother Hanyun cooks! It has to be a feast with at least three dishes."
Although the previous program has been taken off the air, many fans have watched it, and Duan Hanyun's title of Hell Chef has become famous on the Internet.
Seeing all the shocked emojis in the comments, Fang Langxing laughed out loud.
[Then, Lang'er, who is in this audio that I posted today? ]
"Ah? What was posted today? I haven't heard it yet." Fang Langxing knew that the trailers posted on their account were very short, and he also knew that fans were guessing who the owner of the audio was every day. They had even discussed this matter together, but as the producer of the song, Fang Langxing was present throughout the recording process when the members were recording the song, so how could he not know who was in the audio?
Fang Langxing thought about it while opening today's audio, listened to it once and said, "Isn't this Brother Mo's voice?"
[You can hear it now? ]
[Wasn't it Momo's voice that could be heard from somewhere? 】
[Suddenly I wonder if my tweet was from Momo? I didn’t hear it. 】
[Did you really hear that? You weren't just talking nonsense, were you?]
"Of course I heard it. If you don't believe me, I'll call my agent to confirm it." Fang Langxing thought for a moment and said, "I also know that the names from the past few days were Liunian, Tianya, Zhaozhao, and Xinyige!"
[Really? Didn’t I tell you a long time ago? ]
[What do you mean? Isn't it normal for Lang'er to be able to recognize the voices of his own family members? What are you doing here?! ]
[I also think that they have lived together for such a long time, isn't it natural that they can hear each other? ]
"Stop arguing! I'll call Brother Xu." Seeing that everyone was about to quarrel again, Fang Langxing quickly tried to smooth things over.
"Lang'er? What's wrong?" Liu Xu's voice came from the receiver.
"Brother Xu, whose trailer is released today?" Fang Langxing asked casually.
"Today? Today is Jing Mo's." Liu Xu answered, and then asked in confusion: "Didn't you ask me not to tell you the order of release? Didn't you say you had to guess it yourself?"
"What about before that?" Fang Langxing chuckled and asked.
"Oh, the first day is Liunian's, followed by Tianya, Zhaozhao and Xinyi's." Liu Xu answered truthfully, and then asked: "Do you want me to tell you the next order?"
"No, keep some freshness." Fang Langxing looked at the screen in the live broadcast room and blinked.
