72: Comeback MV shooting

“What, the first thing a dog does is bite me?! What grudge, what hatred, do you really have so much resentment towards me?”

“Pfft!” Someone on set almost couldn't hold it in.

“Hahahahaha~” Park Chaeyoung didn't care and let out a burst of laughter with her powerful main vocalist voice.

“I'll bite you to death, ah-ssi!”

Lisa couldn't beat Xu Zhiyou, but dealing with Park Chaeyoung was easy.

… …

After a bit of playful bickering, the filming resumed. Park Chaeyoung might have been teased too much, as she still couldn't get past it.

“Chaeyoung! What are you so worried about? It's just an arm around the neck, not asking you to strip naked, you…”

“Yah!”

Park Chaeyoung's face instantly flushed red when she heard that. With so many people watching, such words were truly unbearable.

“Sigh!”

Seeing her dejected look, if this dragged on, she probably wouldn't even finish her part today.

“Assistant Director, come over and take a look. Let the male actor step down, I'll take his place!”

“Nae!”

She tied her hair into a bun, then found a jacket to put on, and turned to the assistant director, saying:

“Change the script. The arm around the neck stays, but change the deep gaze into her lying in my arms! Then film my side profile, and we'll fix the hair later.”

“Nae!”

She turned around and saw Park Chaeyoung staring at her with wide, rolling eyes. “Why are you looking at me? I'll act with you, is that okay now?!”

“No problem! I guarantee I'll complete the task.” If it was Xu Zhiyou, since they were both women, there would be no awkwardness about certain body parts touching.

“Are you ready?”

“OK!”

“Action!”

The camera zoomed in again. Could Kim Ji-soo miss this opportunity? She picked up her PD and pointed it at the two of them, narrating as she filmed.

“Yeorobun, this is the filming set for the 'Play With Fire' MV! We're zooming in, oh! See that? Zoe and Rose are kissing, and…”

Her narration only went unnoticed by Xu Zhiyou because she was busy; otherwise, she would definitely teach her a lesson. She really loved to stir up trouble.

Xu Zhiyou's shot was from behind, creating a blind spot. It really looked like a kiss, all because Park Chaeyoung was shorter than her.

“Jennie-oni, why do these two look so much like they're really doing this? Look at Chaeyoung's expression, it really looks like she's in love, so sweet!”

“Tsk tsk tsk, that expression has the right vibe! Hehe~” Kim Jennie bit her finger, her face showing an auntie smile.

As for whether they suspected the two were gay, that was absolutely impossible. They had been together for so many years, and they were clear about that aspect.

“Cut!”

Hearing “cut,” Xu Zhiyou immediately pushed her away and rushed to the camera to check. This shot mainly highlighted Park Chaeyoung and was filmed very well.

“This take is great, good job! Next, we'll film Lisa with the flaming railing. The props can be prepared!”

… …

“Hehe! Next time, I'll find another chance to do it again.” Park Chaeyoung whispered to herself. It was her first time being held in Xu Zhiyou's arms, and she only had one feeling: so soft!

Lisa looked at Park Chaeyoung, who was giggling foolishly after the shoot, a bit confused. “What are you doing, Chaeyoung, you look like a pervert!”

“Lisa, I'm telling you, Zoe's arms are really soft. You'll know if you try it next time.”

“Really?!”

“Why would I lie to you? If the assistant director hadn't called cut, I wouldn't have wanted to get up. Tsk tsk tsk, her figure is top-notch!”

“I'm going to try!” She was so tempted. Her Lalisa was someone who acted on impulse, full of initiative.

She walked over and hugged Xu Zhiyou, which left Xu Zhiyou a bit bewildered. What was this girl doing? “Are you having a fit?”

Lisa pulled Xu Zhiyou's hands to wrap around herself. Kim Ji-soo and Kim Jennie were also a bit confused. What was going on? Had she been beaten or was she unhappy?

Before they could ponder further, Lisa suddenly said, “It really is comfortable. Why didn't I realize it before?”

Xu Zhiyou almost had a brain hemorrhage. Damn it, she thought something had happened to Lisa, but it was just to take advantage of her.

She pushed her away and kicked her butt. It was infuriating. Damn it, her teammates were too mischievous; she couldn't handle them at all.

“What's wrong with just a hug? You only allow Chaeyoung to hug, but not me? Oh~ do you two have a thing going on?!”

Xu Zhiyou was too lazy to bother with her. “Show Ge, drag this unknown species out to change clothes. It's her turn.” She finished speaking and went back to her own business.

Lisa heard it was her turn and stopped playing around. She would deal with serious matters first. She obediently went to the dressing room to change.

This was real fire, and if too much was applied accidentally, it could be deadly. So she went to check again and only relaxed after confirming it was safe.

“Lisa, pay attention to your expression, understand? Try to shoot as few of these scenes as possible. Inhaling too much smoke isn't good.”

“No problem!”

“Remember the theme of this MV, don't go crazy, control yourself a bit!”

“Arasso, you're so naggy!” She kept saying she was crazy. She just liked to play a little, she wasn't actually sick.

“I…” Damn it, when she directs a drama in the future, she will definitely not use acquaintances. For every word she says, five more are waiting for her. She has no authority.

Seeing her pose, she still felt uneasy. If she got burned, she couldn't afford it, so she went to check carefully again.

“Jisoo, isn't Zoe being a bit too cautious?” Park Chaeyoung felt her repeated checks were a bit excessive.

“It's good to check. What if Lisa gets burned? It's quite far here, and if we don't save her in time, she'll be disfigured. Although she's not much to look at, don't drag Zoe down!”

Lisa was initially a little touched that she was so concerned about her safety, but the latter part, “although she's not much to look at,” really made her angry.

“Yah! Jisoo, am I ugly?!”

“Not as pretty as me, anyway.”

After checking, Xu Zhiyou directly slapped Lisa on the head. They had to argue about whether they were good-looking or not. Being good-looking couldn't feed them, and when they were criticized, it was still terrible.

“Control your expression. The fire oil will flow. Finish filming quickly. Be careful not to get it on your body.”

“Sigh!”

Lisa sighed. Life was not easy. She then quickly adjusted her state. Although she wasn't afraid of fire, it was almost November in Seoul, and wearing so little was truly freezing.

“Ready, action!”

… …

In the end, it took two takes to pass. The MV, which could have been finished in a few days, was prolonged because Xu Zhiyou was a novice and had to learn as she filmed.

“Ah-ssi, LaLisa, it's you again! 'Stay' conveys devotion to love and dependence on a partner, don't you know that?”

“I know!”

“You look so nonchalant, can you show some emotion, please?!”

“I care about that stuff, let me calm down and find the feeling!”

“Yah!”

Damn it, she should beat her up to let off some steam. What does she mean, “I care about that stuff”? She's not being asked to fall in love, so why the deadpan expression?

“What are you doing? I'm warning you, many people are watching here. Hitting people is illegal.”

Lisa was also very helpless. Asking her to reminisce about a past boyfriend, she hadn't even been in a relationship, nor had she watched many TV dramas. How could she possibly reminisce?
