Chapter 354: Filming MV with IU (Subscribe)
This live broadcast was quite successful, and IU’s live broadcast room now has 80 followers.

Her social media account also gained more than 50 followers, making her an instant hit.

After the live broadcast ended, she was stunned.

“Oppa, was my live broadcast successful this time?”

At this time, there were only Meng Chao and Lee Ji-eun in the live broadcast room. The staff had all left, and An Yifei and the others had also gone upstairs.

“It’s very successful, you became an overnight hit. I knew you would become very famous, so there is no need to worry at all.” Meng Chao said happily.

“It’s Oppa and Sister Xixi who brought me popularity.” Lee Ji-eun said very modestly.

“No, this is your strength. In the future, your music will definitely shine.” Meng Chao said confidently.

After all, in another world, Lee Ji-eun is a very powerful female singer from Peninsula with strong abilities and amazing achievements.

When Li Zhien heard this, her eyes flashed with a mixture of gratitude and determination. She bit her lip lightly, as if digesting the affirmation and encouragement given by Meng Chao.

Then, she took a deep breath, her tone full of seriousness and determination: “Thank you, Oppa, I will work harder and live up to your and everyone’s expectations. Music is my only dream, I want to touch the hearts of every listener with my singing.”

Meng Chao looked at the humble yet motivated girl in front of him, and his heart was filled with relief.

He gently patted Li Zhien’s shoulder with a warm and encouraging smile: “Ji Eun, you have done what many people dream of, but this is just the beginning. Remember, keep your original intention and keep making progress, and your future will be even brighter. And I will always be here to support you and witness your every growth and breakthrough.”

“Okay, let’s go upstairs and rest. We are tired today.” With that, Meng Chao prepared to go upstairs to rest.

This live broadcast is expected to continue to gain momentum, as slices of the live broadcast will be posted on the platform.

At the same time, their duet songs will also be uploaded to major platforms.

Li Zhien nodded and followed Meng Chao to the lounge upstairs. Although she was a little tired, her heart was full of unprecedented motivation and passion. She knew that this night’s success was just the starting point of her music journey, and there was still a long way to go, but she was ready to meet all challenges.

When they arrived at the lounge, Meng Chao asked Li Zhien to sit down first, and then he poured her a glass of warm water. Li Zhien took the cup, thanked him softly, and then drank it in small sips, feeling the warm water moistening her dry throat.

“Oppa, do you think our duet song will be popular?” Lee Ji-eun suddenly asked, with anticipation in her eyes.

Meng Chao smiled and nodded: “Of course it will be popular. With your voice, my production, and the publicity we have given this time, it will be hard not to be popular. However, more importantly, we have to continue to launch more high-quality works, so that we can truly consolidate your position.”

After hearing this, Li Zhien became more determined. She knew that Meng Chao was telling the truth, and she had to work hard to gain a foothold in this fiercely competitive industry.

“Yes, I will. I will practice singing harder and take every performance and work more seriously.” Lee Ji-eun said solemnly.

Meng Chao nodded with satisfaction, then patted Li Zhien on the shoulder: “Okay, don’t be too tired. Have a good rest tonight, we still have a lot of work to do tomorrow.”

Li Zhien nodded and lay down on the bed obediently. Meng Chao covered her with a quilt and turned off the light in the room.

In the darkness, Li Zhien closed her eyes and silently recalled everything that happened tonight.

She felt extremely happy and satisfied because she knew that she was on the right path, and this path would lead her to a brighter future.

At the same time, on the other side of the Internet, live clips and duet songs about Lee Ji-eun and Meng Chao were spreading rapidly.

Netizens left messages saying they were moved by the two’s singing and expressed their admiration for IU’s humility and talent.

That night, Lee Ji-eun’s name became a hot topic again, and she gained more attention and love because of it.

When everyone woke up the next day, they found that Lee Ji-eun had become an internet celebrity.

Of course, there is also An Yifei.

Both of them gained a lot of fans because their duet touched many people.

The next morning, the sunlight shone through the gaps in the curtains and gently sprinkled on every corner of the lounge.

IU slowly opened her eyes and felt an unprecedented sense of relaxation and anticipation.

She got up and sat on the bed, looking at the bright sunshine outside the window, her heart filled with infinite longing for the future.

Meng Chao had already woken up and was busy in the kitchen preparing breakfast. Hearing Li Zhien’s movements, he leaned out and shouted with a smile: “Zhien, are you awake? Come down and have breakfast, I prepared it especially for you.”

Li Zhien responded with a smile, tidied up briefly, and walked out of the room briskly. In the kitchen, Meng Chao was busy flipping the spatula, and the aroma of food filled her nose, which greatly increased her appetite.

“Oppa, aren’t Sister Xixi and Sister Bingbing here?” Lee Ji-eun asked curiously.

She got up a little late today, so she doesn’t know the situation.

“The two of them went to find the director and wanted to shoot a MV,” Meng Chao explained.

IU nodded, not knowing when her MV would be filmed.

So, she planned to ask while eating.

At the dining table, the two of them ate and chatted, and the atmosphere was warm and pleasant.

Meng Chao has made detailed plans for his work schedule for the next few days, including recording new songs, shooting MVs, and participating in upcoming variety shows, each of which is full of challenges and opportunities.

“Oppa, I will do my best.” Lee Ji-eun said seriously, with a determined light in her eyes.

She knows that every exposure is an opportunity to consolidate her position, and she must seize every possibility to let more people hear her music.

Meng Chao nodded with satisfaction and encouraged: “I believe in you, Zhien. Your talent and hard work will definitely allow you to go further and further on this road. Remember, no matter what difficulties you encounter, I will always be by your side to support you.”

After breakfast, the two started their busy day.

First, they headed to the studio to do the final recording and adjustments for the new song.

IU devotes herself to music, pouring her heart and soul into every note.

Meng Chao provided careful guidance to ensure that every line of lyrics and every scale were presented perfectly.

After a morning of hard work, the recording of the new song was successfully completed. Meng Chao listened to the perfect sound quality coming from the headphones, nodded with satisfaction, and gave Li Zhien a thumbs up: “Ji Eun, you did a great job! This song will definitely become one of your masterpieces.” Li Zhien’s face was filled with a bright smile, and her eyes were shining with a sense of accomplishment: “Thank you, Oppa, this is all your credit. Without you, I would not have been able to complete it so well.”

Afterwards, the two drove to the studio to prepare for the upcoming MV. In the studio, the director and team members were ready, and all kinds of photography equipment and lighting were arranged in an orderly manner.

When the director saw Li Zhien and Meng Chao, he greeted them warmly: “You two are finally here. We have been waiting for a long time. The creativity of this MV is very good. I believe it will open the eyes of the audience.”

Meng Chao responded with a smile: “It all depends on the efforts of the director and the team. We will definitely cooperate with them to the fullest.”

During the filming, Lee Ji-eun showed her excellent acting skills and expressiveness. Whether it was affectionate eye contact or dynamic dance moves, she got it just right.

Meng Chao also gave advice and guidance from time to time to ensure the quality of the MV.

After a whole day of busy shooting, the MV was finally completed successfully.

When they saw the images replayed on the monitor, IU and Meng Chao both smiled with satisfaction.

They know that this work not only embodies their hard work and sweat, but will also become an important milestone in their musical career.

Li Zhien didn’t expect that Meng Chao had made so many preparations for her.

But what she is most looking forward to is the MV of the title song.

Because the male lead is Meng Chao, and he needs to play a couple with her in the MV.

Li Zhien knew that in reality, it was unlikely that she and Meng Chao would become a couple.

Because Meng Chao already has a lover, An Yifei and Meng Chao are still very much in love.

Moreover, An Yifei was not only very kind to her, but also very charming.

She didn’t think she had any qualifications to compete with An Yifei.

While filming the MV for the title song, Lee Ji-eun was both excited and nervous.

This is the first time she and Meng Chao play a couple in a MV. Although they have a close relationship like siblings in private, this is the first time they have performed love in front of the camera.

The story setting of the MV is a love that transcends time and space. Lee Ji-eun plays a modern girl who accidentally establishes an emotional connection with an ancient scholar played by Meng Chao through an old diary.

In order to create this dreamy and romantic atmosphere, the studio was carefully arranged into two completely different worlds: one side is a modern urban street, and the other side is an antique courtyard study.

On the first day of filming, Lee Ji-eun wore simple and fashionable modern clothes, standing in front of an urban background, showing her fresh and refined style to the camera.

Meng Chao changed into exquisite ancient costume, with his long hair neatly tied up. Holding a brush, he wrote attentively in the study, as if one could hear the rustling sound of the pen tip scratching across the paper.

With the director’s shout of “Action”, the two began their emotional journey.

Lee Ji-eun accidentally found the diary in the modern world. As she flipped through it, the camera slowly switched to the ancient scene where Meng Chao was. The two people’s eyes met in the intersection of time and space, as if they had thousands of words to say.

During the filming process, Meng Chao showed another side of him as an actor. His delicate emotional expression and deep eyes made it easy for Li Zhien to immerse herself in the role.

Whenever the two looked at each other, the emotion that transcended time and space allowed everyone present to feel the sincerity and affection.

Lee Ji-eun also devoted herself to the show, interpreting her desire and persistence for this love that transcends time and space in her own way.

Whether it is the solitary search in a modern city or the silent waiting in an ancient courtyard, she interprets the emotional changes of the character vividly.

During the filming process, there are many scenes that require a high degree of tacit understanding, such as two people reaching out to touch each other at the same time in different time and space. Although they are actually separated by a long distance, through precise lens switching and the tacit cooperation of the two, it presents an effect that seems to be within reach.

One night, we were filming a farewell scene in the rain.

Meng Chao and Li Zhien stood in the constructed rain scene, letting the artificial drizzle fall on their bodies.

This scene required the two to express deep reluctance and helplessness. Following the director’s command, the two slowly walked towards each other, their eyes full of reluctance.

When Meng Chao whispered, “No matter how time and space change, my heart will always be with you,” tears welled up in Li Zhien’s eyes. At that moment, all the emotions were concentrated in front of the camera.

During the breaks in filming, the two would encourage each other and share their feelings.

Meng Chao would patiently guide Lee Ji-eun on how to better get into the role, and Lee Ji-eun would also give feedback to Meng Chao on her understanding of the role, and the cooperation between the two became more and more tacit.

After several days of intense filming, the MV for the title song was finally completed. When all the crew members sat in front of the monitor to watch the finished film, Li Zhien and Meng Chao were deeply moved by the work they presented.

Every shot and every line of lyrics in the MV seem to be telling of the special emotional bond between them. Whether it is friendship or some emotion beyond friendship, it is moving.

“Oppa, your acting is really good, and you can even bring me into the role. Don’t you really want to consider acting?” Lee Ji-eun looked at Meng Chao and asked curiously.

She knew that Meng Chao’s acting skills were taught by An Yifei.

But what I didn’t expect was that Meng Chao not only learned it, but also surpassed An Yifei.

She felt that Meng Chao’s acting skills were superb and he was definitely worthy of the Best Actor award.

“If there is a chance in the future, your acting skills will be very good and you can develop in this direction. As for hosting, I think you can also be capable of it.” After saying this, Meng Chao couldn’t help but think of Lee Ji-eun in his own world.

She is just like that, she does all kinds of business well and is a very hard-working and talented artist.

Hearing Meng Chao’s praise and encouragement, Li Zhien showed a bright smile on her face and her eyes sparkled with excitement.

“Really, Oppa? Do you think I can also act and host?” she asked in disbelief. After all, she had always focused on the music field before and had never tried other forms of artistic expression.

Meng Chao smiled and nodded, his tone firm and full of trust: “Of course, I see your talent and hard work. Whether it is music, acting or hosting, as long as you are willing to try and work hard, I believe you can achieve excellent results. You have unlimited potential, don’t be constrained by your own limitations.”

After hearing this, Li Zhien felt an unprecedented motivation and confidence. She has always been eager to challenge herself in different fields and show her multifaceted talents. Now with Meng Chao’s affirmation and encouragement, she has strengthened her determination.

“Thank you, Oppa! I will work hard and live up to your expectations.” She said solemnly, with a determined light in her eyes.
