Two days later, Quentin called and said that the crew and studio were ready and asked Shania to go over to shoot the MV. Duca also got up in the middle of the night and drove to the beach to wait for the sunrise.

The weather conditions last night were average. At three or four o'clock, the sky was covered with dark clouds and the sky was very dark. Shooting under this background requires a film with a higher sensitivity.

At around three o'clock in the morning, the crew officially started shooting the "yellow" MV.

Shania wore a white lace dress with long black hair draped over her shoulders. She sang and lip-synced to the camera while walking, and the sea breeze blew her dress. Her beautiful face and pure temperament made her even more eye-catching.

Since this MV only lasts four or five minutes, and there is a transition of two or three hours from before sunrise to sunrise, Shania needs to use extremely slow movements step by step during these two or three hours.

, like slow motion in a movie, it’s not easy.

At around three o'clock, the wind at the beach was a bit strong and the temperature was a bit low. Duka was also a bit cold in a sports sweater, but Shania took several photos and her face became paler.

After shooting for forty to fifty minutes, Quentin called a pause. Shania's assistant immediately gave him a coat and hot coffee, and Duca also went over to say hello.

"Xenia, are you okay?"

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

Shania put on her coat, took a sip of coffee and smiled.

"When I conceived it, I thought it was not difficult. I didn't expect it to be so troublesome to shoot."

Duka said apologetically.

"As long as you know, writing scripts and making movies are two different things. They are not as simple as you think."

Quentin interjected from the side.

"But I think it's okay. Last time I shot a few MVs that required singing, dancing, and jumping around. I prepared for two weeks and shot for a month. This MV is not bad. It's just walking on the beach. It's not troublesome at all.

.”

Shania also sat on the beach, crossed her legs and said next to his shoulder.

"I heard from Nancy that you are a very hard-working singer. When shooting music videos and recording songs, you work hard without complaining. You don't have the airs of a star at all. In the past, she was worried that you would be like those stars and lose yourself after becoming famous.

, but you didn’t, she was very happy, and so was I.”

Duka helped her pull her coat and said.

Shania laughed and touched his shoulder, "Duka, don't be too happy, and don't overestimate me. I'm just not popular enough to put on airs. Maybe after some time, I will be lost when I become popular.

, how about you remember to remind me?"

"no problem."

Duca smiled.

Quentin glanced at the two of them and suddenly felt that these two guys were an amazing match.

"Hey, don't move. How about I take a photo of you?"

he asked, holding the camera.

"Okay, let's take a few more pictures as a souvenir."

Duca smiled.

"Yes, this morning is very memorable."

Shania turned slightly to him, holding coffee in one hand and making scissor gestures with the other, with a smile on her beautiful face.

Duca also gave a heart sign to the camera ღ(´･ᴗ･`).

Kakaka~

Quentin took several photos in a row, and his posture was quite professional.

"Duka, what kind of gesture is this?"

Shania asked.

“Simplified version of love!”

Duca smiled.

"Then I'll make one too."

Shania put down the cup and stretched out her slender finger to refill the pen.

Kaka~

After taking a group photo of the two of them, I asked my assistant to take a few more group photos of the three of them. Duka is tall and handsome, with a clean and masculine temperament. Shania is wearing a white dress, with her hair down, looking very pure and beautiful without makeup.

The smile showing eight teeth is also very contagious.

Quentin in the middle sometimes grins his lips, sometimes raises and lowers his eyebrows, resting on the shoulders of the two of them, constantly acting funny.

After taking the group photo, the crew continued to shoot the MV, from about 3 o'clock to sunrise at about 6 o'clock, about 20 times. Shania also walked more than 20 times. After the shooting, Shania's long hair

I was almost soaked by the sea breeze, and there was moisture on my face, but I didn't wipe it off just to keep it original.

"Duka, I didn't expect it to be so cold on the beach in the morning. Look, my hands are almost frozen."

Shania spread her palms and said.

Dukara held her hand, which was indeed very cold.

"Fortunately, it's finished. Quentin, are those shots enough?"

"That's enough, but the clouds are too thick today and there is no morning star. It would be better if we could take pictures of a few stars."

Quentin looked at the camera video and said.

"How about we continue filming tomorrow, that's fine with me."

Shania smiled.

"It may not be possible to take the picture tomorrow. There need to be dark clouds in this shot. It is rare to see the morning star in cloudy weather. We can't stay at the beach every day, or we can point a few stars in the sky during post-processing.

.”

Duca asked.

"That's the only way. It's troublesome to wait for the stars every day. It's not bad to use special effects."

Quentin nodded slightly.

“Would it be expensive to use special effects?”

Shania asked.

"Don't worry, it's just a few stars, it doesn't cost much."

"That's right."

Quentin nodded.

After filming the MV, it was around nine o'clock in the morning. Everyone had breakfast and went home to catch up on their sleep.

——

After two days of editing and production, the new MV for "yellow" was completed. Everyone watched it twice in the screening room of Andromeda Agency and felt very good.

"How about it, let's talk about it."

Quentin crossed his arms and smiled.

“It’s great, it looks simple, but it’s very meaningful.”

Ms. Nancy Josephson clapped her hands and said.

Others in the office nodded.

"Duka, you wrote this script. I didn't expect you to write music video scripts."

Nancy said in surprise.

"Yes, do you need to be so surprised?"

"Of course, I used to think you were just a carefree rich second generation, but I didn't expect you had some talent."

"Haha~"

Shania covered her mouth and laughed.

Duca shook his head, "The MV is good, not only because I wrote the script well, but the key is that Quentin shot it well and Shania acted well. Without the two of them, the quality of the MV would not be as high."

"Duka, you are too modest. Just like before, you only said that your shooting skills were good. I didn't expect you to win three gold medals and three world championships. You are so amazing."

Shania patted his shoulder.

"Okay, I'm not bad."

Duca smiled.

Nancy looked at the two of them and rubbed her forehead helplessly.

After everyone saw the MV and thought it was good, Nancy took the MV to BMG Records and asked the management responsible for promoting Shania Records to take a look. Everyone thought it was good and the quality was very high.

So in the second week, the MV was posted on the music channels of many TV networks one after another. The MV video could also be seen on projection screens in large squares and business centers in many places. This made Shania and "Yellow

"The single became very popular, and the sales of the album of the same name increased significantly. In the past, weekly sales in North America were around 120,000 copies, but this week sales exceeded 200,000 copies, almost doubling.

The ranking of Shania's album also jumped from 56 to the top 30 on the Billboard, and the ranking of the single "Yellow" rushed into the top 10. The best result was fifth, which also became a fairy.

Among Nia's songs, it is currently the highest-ranking song.

It's a pity that Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, and Guns N' Roses are also releasing new songs during this time. The competition on the charts is fierce. If you want to win the championship, you still need to continue to work hard.

"It doesn't matter. I am confident that I will win the championship with my next album."

Shania said with her fists clenched.

"I believe you too. When will the next album be released?"

Duca turned off the TV and poured her a cup of tea.

"I am still collecting songs, and BMG is also collecting songs for me. Once I have collected more than ten songs, I will start recording, probably in the middle of next year."

Shania thought for a while and said.

Duka nodded, "Xenia, there is something I want to discuss with you."

"Oh, what is it, so serious?"

Shania stared at his cheek and smiled.

"It's a matter of the songwriter's signature."

When the song "Yellow" was released, the album had "Mr. King" written after the songwriter. But he was not in the music industry, and he didn't want to become famous and make money by copying songs, so it didn't matter whether he wrote "Mr. King" or not.

It doesn't matter.

"Shania, I'm going to give up my signature. As the songwriter of these two new songs, please stop using Mr. King and write your name directly."

"How can this be done? This is your work of art. Of course you have to write your name on it."

Shania retorted.

Duka shook his head, "Xenia, we are partners with related interests. Using your name can maximize our profits. Isn't that good? I heard that this kind of operation is very common in the music industry."

"No, the songwriter is the most important person in a song and no one can replace it. This is a matter of principle."

Shania said seriously.

"No, singers and production talents are the most important. They can often elevate an ordinary song to a classic level, so it doesn't matter if I don't sign my name. No one except you knows who Mr. King is anyway."

"But I know."

"Yes, you know that I don't sign my name. Well, this matter is settled, otherwise I won't tell you next time I write a song and send it directly to Nancy anonymously."

Duka spread his hands and smiled.

"I really don't understand why you are doing this. Isn't it good to be a famous songwriter?"

Shania said angrily.

"If I played music and had multiple names, it would be cool, but I'm not. I'm a businessman. We can make more money using your name. Do you think I'm vulgar?"

Duca smiled.

"Don't worry, I think you are just a vulgar guy."

Shania said jokingly.

"Well, I am."

Duka smiled carelessly.

"Hey~ I have a question I've been wanting to ask you, can you answer me?"

Shania asked as she crossed her legs and adjusted her sitting posture.

"explain!"

Duca smiled and took a sip of coffee.

"From the first time I met you, I felt that you were very kind to me and wanted to help me sincerely without asking for anything in return. Why? To be honest, friends don't lie to their friends."

Shania pointed at her eyes and then at him, "I'm staring at you."

Duka smiled softly, "I like your songs, I am your die-hard fan."

"No, I didn't sing that time, so you asked me to perform on stage. Don't get the order wrong."

Shania pursed her lips and said.

Duka scratched his face, "But I saw you carrying the guitar, watching the performance on the stage seriously, and saying that they don't know how to cherish it. I agree with you, so I want to see your performance, and

You performed very well and gave me a big surprise, so I wanted to keep you singing in the bar."

"Is it just that? Is there no other reason?"

The corners of Shania's lips trembled, a look of disappointment appeared on her face, and her eyes became moist.

"Of course, we are good friends, aren't we? Good friends naturally help each other."

"This is not the answer I wanted."

Shania raised her head and stared straight at him, "Duka, have you ever liked me, even just a little bit?"

Duka was a little embarrassed to answer. Girls like Shania are beautiful, gentle and generous, and no one dislikes her. If Monica is not here, she is the most suitable girlfriend. But now that he has given Monica a promise,

He can't delay other girls, let alone he and Shania are still good friends.

"Yes, I have liked you, but..."

Shania reached out to cover his lips, stared at him and said,

"That's enough. I like you too, very much. I've fallen in love with you since the first time I saw you, and I've fallen in love with you more and more since then, whether you're the bartender, the athlete, or the playboy.

You, you who love money, I like you all, because of you I refused everyone’s dates, do you know?"

Duka nodded slightly. Although he was not good at chasing girls or falling in love with them, he could also tell Shania's thoughts from his daily interactions.

"Then do you want to kiss me?"

Shania pursed her red lips and closed her eyes. Her long eyelashes were trembling slightly, and there were water stains on her face.

Duka reached out to caress her cheek, lowered his head and kissed her.

"Hmm~"

Shania put her hands on his neck and responded to him enthusiastically.
