How to become an ACE of a top boy group

Chapter 108 Is it just an illusion that the world revolves around me?

The second-floor restaurant still has a row of buffets, which are smaller in quantity and more oily than the meals shown on the show, and are for the staff to choose from.

The five of them, including Luo Xi, received their own meals, which were prepared by a nutritionist based on calories and energy levels and the weight they wanted to achieve. Their three meals a day were completely different.

The nutritionist will give them a form so they can choose what they want to eat from a list of foods with the same calorie count.

Luo Xi chose oranges, a bowl of multigrain and meat porridge, and a packet of various powdered medicines of unknown ingredients. The nutritionist had prepared it for her after she mentioned her desire to get fit, and she was to take it to the training room to drink.

The three of them collected their breakfast trays and first saw Gu Minxing sitting at the entrance, and then found Li Longxuan in a corner in the distance.

It's just one place, why do they have to sit so far away? Luo Xi found it inexplicably funny.

"Minxing, Longxuan, are you two in the North and South Poles? Come on, Minxing." Lu Yun handed the plate to Luo Xi, acting both shameless and coquettish, and pushed Gu Minxing to Li Longxuan's table. In the end, the five of them sat together.

Then, Luo Xi started by saying, "I woke up late today. It's really easy to be late if no one wakes each other up. It would be great if we could all eat together." With the help of the three of them, they got the other two to agree to eat together from now on.

This needs to be done gradually, Luo Xi thought, at least the two of them now have more opportunities to spend time together.

After finishing their meal, the five of them went to the practice room on the third floor.

This floor has now been converted into their exclusive practice area, with a large dance studio, two dedicated karaoke rooms, and a small conference room.

The agent usually works in the conference room, supervising their practice and occasionally coming over to patrol and check on their practice progress.

As the five of them passed by the conference room, they greeted their agent, Lily, who was already working inside.

Lily reiterated the recent arrangements she had mentioned yesterday, saying that after a week of song and dance practice, they would start filming the music video. She also mentioned the filming schedule and that they needed to master the dance before filming.

To be honest, after experiencing the challenge of the concert, Luo Xi felt that the current difficulty was much lower than before.

They then began practicing the song on their own.

At first glance, it's clear that many people were involved in the arrangement and lyrics this time. Hua Ni Studio, the creators of One Origin's hit songs, participated in the production of the title track "Fatal Thirst" and the production of "Red and Black".

The song "Missing News" was reportedly produced by a new producer, and Luo Xi really liked its melody and novel arrangement.

The final piece, "Dream of the Azalea," was produced by migo, and Luo Xi felt that its arrangement did indeed have a dreamlike quality reminiscent of the previous piece, "Twilight."

The song's parts are already fixed, and the few lines that Luo Xi was assigned to have a small proportion but a lot of weight.

The lyrics were divided into many parts that seemed very important for connecting the parts, including the chorus... Is it just my imagination? Her parts are all the essence of the melody, or the climax.

The title track features a deep, rap-like lyric. Lu Yun sings the first part, while Luo Xi sings the second part. There's even a high note in the title track where Lu Yun sings the first part before Gu Minxing sings the second part, which is even higher.

She can't even hit those high notes anymore; you're overestimating her. Fortunately, Gu Minxing has been helping her practice warming up her voice, and when Lily came to check on her, she also said she would contact a vocal coach to come and tutor Luo Xi tomorrow.

For the first time, Luo Xi felt deeply valued.

"041, I feel like they're intentionally making me a very important part of their strategy. Do you feel the same way?"

[041 believes, Queen Rosie... Rosie, your value has finally been discovered! Congratulations!]

After singing practice, the subsequent choreography class was quite standard, and we followed the teacher's instructions. Perhaps because the song was divided into parts, she was assigned to an important part, and Luo Xi felt that she had a lot of center positions in the choreography, and the memorable moves were all in the center position.

The afternoon filming took place in the recording building.

Rosie saw some new sets being made for filming, such as a large pile of candle props on the ground and a space with broken mirrors.

The music video was filmed in several locations, including the recording building and the Azalea Manor, totaling seven scenes, mostly indoors, except for "Dream of the Azalea," which was filmed outdoors, and apparently that was also dependent on the weather.

Their costumes for the photoshoot are already made, using body measurements taken during the concert. There are four new outfits in total.

There are also three sets of clothes from before: the ones they wore for the "Missing News" shoot were the casual clothes they wore on the day they arrived for the show, and the two uniforms they wore during the show's production.

As for their hairstyles, since the overall tone of the album leans towards a classical style reminiscent of the Republic of China era, they weren't given many different hair colors. Since "Red and Black" is set in the Republic of China era, they all need to have black hair, and Song Chuchu will also wear a black wig. "Red and Black" will be the first segment filmed.

During the filming of "Missing News" and "Fatal Thirst," Lu Yun had to dye his hair red, which he had previously dyed, and pair it with green-blue contact lenses.

Song Chuchu maintained her original white hair and eye color.

Gu Minxing's black hair was styled into a short, slightly permed style that exposed his forehead, exuding an aggressive and flamboyant air. Li Longxuan, on the other hand, had long, black hair parted in the middle, and coupled with his nonchalant demeanor, he had a scoundrel-like quality.

The design for Luo Xi was to have long, black hair, and hair extensions were also given to achieve this.

The final result that Luo Xi saw in the mirror was a slightly longer, choppy hairstyle. The hair was shiny and smooth, and it looked like a style that girls could also wear. The thin hair lay close to her jawline and had bangs. The bangs were irregular and flowed down from the top of her head in a choppy style. They wouldn't cover her eyes, and if she turned her head slightly to the side, a few strands of hair would sweep across her face, making her look more refined and also more gloomy.

The deep-set under-eye bags, meticulously groomed eyelashes, and dark eyes enhance the sense of gloom. The lips are deepened by layering grapefruit and red shades, creating a moist and sexy red. The color of the mole under the lip is then added with eyeliner.

A dark villain was born.

The main shoot will also feature her with dark red highlights and red contact lenses, while "Dream of the Azalea" will use green contact lenses.

To be honest, Luo Xi also felt that she was the main focus of the design in terms of makeup and styling.

This afternoon's shooting session involved all five of them completing their makeup and hair, changing into several outfits, and then taking various promotional photos in the recording building setting.

When shooting with five people, she stood in the center position; when the basic formation was fixed, she also stood in the center position. During a break, the director of photography talked about the shooting structure of their future music videos, and Luo Xi realized that she still had many important solo shots.

What's going on? It's like the whole world revolves around her.

Was it just her imagination?
