Chapter 52 filming in progress
The BabyMons, who are still aspiring artists and bring a bunch of clothes to work, were given a day off by Shen Yu today.
He was filming a music video, and there wasn't even a production assistant available; Xu Youqing wasn't there either.
Shen Yu had no choice but to use child labor.
Fortunately, the children got along very well.
"Canny, don't yell!"
Li Charen looked helpless and grabbed Canny, who was chasing Pharita, and pulled her back.
Although his lover was not present, he still contributed his efforts.
The location we have now was found with her help; there was a fantasy TV series filming studio nearby that hadn't been demolished yet.
Xu Youqing then helped borrow it.
"Hmm, this big cauldron is placed in the middle, yes, it's like a potion-making witch, with some spider webs added around it. Oh, they brought their own here, are they made of silk threads? It's alright."
Shen Yu directed the staff to help move things around. It was unrealistic to expect him to set up the set by himself, so they had to pay to rent the studio staff.
Ruka and Ya-Hsien are helping Enoki Ansa get ready for her outfit. The potion witch is dressed like a candy shop, and her clothes will be covered in exquisite candy decorations.
Knowing that the company's team could handle the post-production special effects, Shen Yu felt more confident and daring during filming.
Thankfully, he doesn't need to keep making cheap special effects.
In that case, shooting a music video is much simpler than shooting an original story.
The directing skills I learned to enter the film and television industry can now be put to the test.
Once the filming location was set up, Shen Yu began filming.
The photography PD who came from the company to help with the recording initially thought that Shen Yu only intended to shoot the kind of short videos they had seen before.
Unexpectedly, Shen Yu made the whole shoot very formal. Apart from the girls being a little too excited, the rest of the process went very smoothly.
This is a music video shoot, even though it's low-budget, it's still a music video for a song.
"Hahaha, why is Teacher Shen Yu wearing makeup again!" Canny laughed non-stop, she's been very cheerful ever since she arrived at the photo studio.
"Okay, this time it doesn't look as much like Jeon Jungkook." Jung Ya-hyun looked at Shen Yu and felt that the makeup and styling he did for her had deviated a bit from the original style.
At the beginning of the music video, Shen Yu plays the male lead, and Enoki Ansa is a couple who are about to break up.
Shen Yu originally planned to find a famous boy group member to film the movie, but YG really doesn't have many teams left now.
Given the recent controversy surrounding the Gem Box, it's not suitable to have other members play the male lead.
Fame also played a role, so Shen Yu could only direct and also act as the male lead.
Fortunately, I don't need to pay extra for myself.
"Hold back your laughter, you need to look a little sad. This is a breakup! You should be angry at what I just said."
Standing opposite Shen Yu, Anza Enoki felt no sadness at all.
Thinking that Shen Yu was her boyfriend, she even wished that the filming was just between the two of them.
"You're a professional, Anza, show me some acting skills."
"Teacher, why don't you wear a mask? I don't think Xing Sha can really immerse herself in the role." Canny was quite close to Shen Yu, so she dared to say anything.
Li Charen immediately covered Canny's mouth, and together with Ruka, they dragged the noisy child away.
Both being Thai trainees, Canny is like a little devil, while Pharita is like a beautiful young girl.
He sat upright and well-mannered to the side, his back straight, clearly showing his good upbringing.
His fair complexion was completely different from that of the Thai trainees who usually had a slightly healthy skin tone.
This was also the first time Shen Yu had met Shen Xialan. The girl had a very good vocal ability and a quiet personality.
Finally, returning to Xingsha, the little girl finally seemed to be in the right frame of mind. She looked like she was about to cry, as if she had thought of something.
"Okay, stop crying. Keep this emotion in mind. OK, action!"

"PDnim, the shots just now were all good. Now let's shoot some close-ups. Ruka, I'd like to ask you to play Anza's witch version."
"Okay, Professor Shen Yu!"
For the parts that don't require showing their faces, Ruka, who has a similar body type to ASA, will play the roles.
The photography PD thought today would be a day of playing around with the "celebrity" and trainees in front of this representative, but the shooting progressed very quickly and even he was very surprised by the final product.
So the photography PD went from being perfunctory at first to becoming more serious, and even came to understand the personal charm that Shen Yu himself hadn't realized.
……
"Shen Yu-nim".
"Hmm? What's wrong?"
Ignoring the group of playful girls, after a day of filming, Shen Yu finally finished shooting all the parts needed for the MV and TikTok. He was copying the files, planning to stay up all night to edit them.
"I'm sorry, there are some things I don't know whether I should say or not."
Looking at the photography PD with thick eyebrows and big eyes, Shen Yu felt that when you don't know whether you should say something or not, it's better not to say anything at all.
But since they spent the whole day with me, they are very skilled and worked very hard, so I should treat them gently.
"What's wrong? Since you're already here, just say it."
"Leaving aside your musical talent, I also witnessed your filming abilities today. If you're so talented, why would you deliberately..."
The photography PD described Shen Yu's cosplay of Jeon Jungkook without hurting anyone's feelings.
"Oh, those short videos, right?"
"Yes."
"Teacher, do you think those short videos are easy?" Shen Yu asked the cameraman.
"With your professional eye, you should realize that those short videos that go viral are not as simple as just acting crazy or silly."
If acting crazy and silly can get you traffic, then why bother becoming an internet celebrity?
Shen Yu smiled and said, "You can try filming a video like that; you might understand more then."
Ansa Enoki's looks are stunning, and the other members, acting as her makeup artists and managers, are incredibly helpful. After a busy day, Shen Yu decided to end the day with barbecue.
"Alright, alright, Ruka! Bring them all back and tell everyone we're all ready to go to the barbecue restaurant."
"I've booked a barbecue restaurant; it's all booked for today. Everyone, come along!"

Although celebrities under 20 are not allowed to drink alcohol, the staff still went too.
Especially that cameraman/PD with thick eyebrows and big eyes, who looks kind and gentle but is actually ruthless.
He raised his glass of beer and toasted with Shen Yu. One glass of beer after another, Shen Yu was completely unable to keep up.
His dream of editing late at night was shattered, and the next day, with the combined attack of his biological clock and alarm clock, he finally managed to get out of bed.
"Ding-dong."
The doorbell rang.
Shen Yu dragged his tired body to open the door.
Xu Youqing opened the apartment door and walked into Shen Yu's apartment carrying her things.
"Oh, it's very clean. Okay, are you done washing up?"
"Just came out of the shower, ugh, my head hurts so much."
"Ha, serves him right."
Xu Youqing placed the dried pollack and bean sprout soup on the table, went into the dressing room to find a hair dryer, and had Shen Yu sit at the dining table. She then used the hair dryer to blow-dry Shen Yu's hair.
If he hadn't sent a message to Xu Youqing during the brief moment he was drunk and passed out yesterday.
Shen Yu was curious about where he would end up.
