Xu Zhiyou had no mind to care what she said and started climbing up the drainpipe. Kim Ji-soo, seeing this, quickly went to grab her.
"Are you crazy? What if you fall?"
Kim Jennie also came over and hugged her, seeing the situation. That brat really dared to climb. "You can't go. If you fall and don't die, that would be even more terrifying!"
Kim Ji-soo's forehead was covered in black lines. This was how she gave advice.
"Let go of me! I'm going to kill her, she's driving me crazy!"
"No need, really no need. Filming Kim Jennie's part first is fine too. I'll go teach her." Kim Ji-soo signaled Kim Jennie to quickly drag her away.
"What's wrong with you? This is the twelfth time. No wonder Zoe is angry, it makes me mad just watching." Park Chaeyoung was quite speechless too.
This was only because they knew each other and that she wouldn't mess around with serious matters, otherwise, she would fully suspect Lisa was just toying with Xu Zhiyou.
"I can't film it. How do I know what the despair of being dumped feels like? I really can't do it!"
"What, for an MV, you have to go and get dumped once? How about you pick a guy on the spot and get it over with quickly? Is ten days enough?"
Xu Zhiyou was truly speechless. How could there be such a idiotic person? All those acting classes for nothing, just an expression, and she's making it so difficult, she's even worse than herself.
"Pfft! Hahaha ~" Park Chaeyoung knew she shouldn't laugh, but she couldn't help it.
"Yah! Zoe, are you sick? Am I that kind of person?"
"You brat, shut up. With your level, how dare you talk about my acting? Where's your face?"
"Uh!!!"
Lisa's acting scores were never good, just average to below average, but then again, Xu Zhiyou was last back then.
"Hahaha ~" Kim Jennie couldn't stop laughing.
Kim Ji-soo was filming "BP TV," and her hands involuntarily started trembling. Why were these two idiots arguing like elementary schoolers?
"I don't care, I can't film it. Can I just not have this close-up shot?"
"Sure, then when fans question it, you can come out and say, 'Oh, it's not like that, I asked for it myself, don't blame them, it's all my fault, really...'"
"Hahaha ~" Everyone on set burst out laughing at her overly sweet and cutesy tone. She was undoubtedly the queen of white lotus.
"Zoe, don't be like that, I'm going to die laughing, haha!" Kim Jennie laughed so hard her stomach hurt.
Lisa, standing high up, almost fell from laughing, "Am I that 'tea-like'? Don't falsely accuse me."
"Hehe! If you don't do this, your toxic fans will explain it that way, and then your public image will be ruined, and you'll have something to cry about."
"Arasso, I'll film it, okay? But I can't find that feeling."
Xu Zhiyou thought for a moment. Lisa was usually a cat lover. She had an idea. "Are you sad if your cat kicks the bucket?"
"Yah! Your cat kicks the bucket! Don't talk about my cat."
"Right, right, that's the state! Just imagine your cat kicked the bucket because of your negligence, and you're very sad."
Watching her brewing emotions, she turned to the assistant director and said, "Get ready, we'll do some quick shots, and then piece them together."
"This trick works! It has to be you, Zoe." Kim Ji-soo admired her for this, always finding the key to solving problems.
"Of course! Next time there's a shot like this, bring her cat and drop it on the spot. That'll save trouble." It had to be her, Xu.
"Are you a devil? Did her cat offend you?"
"Its owner offended me, and your Moon Bear too. If you make me unhappy, I'll take it clubbing, hehe!" Devilish You was online.
"Don't you dare touch my son, or I'll fight you to the death. Go find Kuma, don't touch my Moon Bear."
Kim Jennie got angry hearing this, "Yah! Jisoo, don't go too far, did my Kuma offend you?"
"Shut up, if you keep babbling, I'll send both of them to be neutered."
"Uh!!!"
Both of them wisely shut their mouths. This devil Xu Zhiyou might actually do it. Neutering might be a stretch, but taking them clubbing was highly possible.
"Good thing I don't have any pets!"
Before she could gloat, Kim Jennie said, "Fish!"
"Uh! Then I'll shut up too."
After Lisa finished all her shots, the shattered feeling was truly amazing; it felt like her cat really died.
"Oh, not bad, you deserve encouragement." When she did well, she should be praised.
"That's right, my part is done, isn't it? I'm exhausted." Lisa was completely relaxed now.
"It's done. Just need to touch up the group shots."
The subsequent shots also went smoothly. It took a total of two weeks to finish both MVs. After aligning the audio tracks, they planned to submit their work to YG.
"We haven't seen them yet?" Park Chaeyoung thought Xu Zhiyou would show them like last time, but she just left.
"There are backups on the computer, you can watch them yourselves."
After she left, Park Chaeyoung opened the files, and the four of them started watching.
"Lisa, did someone really dump you? This shattered feeling is truly amazing." Park Chaeyoung looked at the heartbroken Lisa in the shot. This shot would definitely attract a lot of fans.
"I didn't expect it either. At the time, I was thinking how sad I would be if Zoe climbed up and then fell and died with a splat. I didn't expect the result to be so good."
"Uh!!!"
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Lisa felt uneasy under their three gazes.
"Good thing Zoe isn't here. If she heard you, you'd be screwed." Kim Jennie patted her shoulder.
...
After submitting to Yang Hyun-suk, the next step was dance practice. After their debut, they gradually adapted, and each of them could identify their own problems.
Artists who have been tested by the market are different; they know how to find their own problems, saving her from having to tell them.
"Take a break!"
After the MV was filmed, they repeatedly practiced "Play With Fire," always the same few moves, almost making Xu Zhiyou throw up.
"We have about a week left until our comeback, so let's take our time. We have plenty of time." Kim Ji-soo knew she was under a lot of pressure.
"It's fine!"
The other three also felt quite sorry for her. This time, they were too rushed. They were notified in late September that they would make a comeback on November 1st, and they had to handle all the songs, choreography, and MVs themselves.
This whole situation was so surreal that sometimes the four of them felt like YG was doing it on purpose. Who arranges tasks like this?
...
The five of them were frantically practicing their dance, while the outside world was also promoting their comeback schedule.
"Irene, what is Zoe trying to do?! Why does she have to clash with us?" Kim Yerim had a headache. They clashed again this time, making her feel sad and want to cry.
"She already announced in September that she would make a comeback in November. We only decided in late October, so we're probably clashing with them."
"Wendy *oni*, whose side are you on? We're going to get rubbed again! Aren't you upset?"
"Of course I'm on your side, but our song this time isn't bad, okay? What are you afraid of?"
