Chapter 72 Sister-in-law joins the MV

Chapter 72 Sister-in-law joins the MV
"Yesterday I heard from Lenny that you encountered some bottlenecks when filming the music video. Is that true?"

Beyoncé's eyes swept over the crowd until they landed on director Old Mike.

The old pervert had taken artistic photos for thousands of women in his life, but even so, he still felt a huge sense of oppression when being stared at by the queen of pop.

Both in temperament and physically.

Old Mike swallowed and said: Fxxk, only Superman can withstand sitting down like this.

Even though it was just a fantasy, Mike still responded with a gentlemanly expression, "Yes, Ms. Beyoncé, because 'Demons' is the title song of the album."

"We want to make it as unique as possible so that the audience will never forget it after watching it once."

Beyoncé stared at Li Ang with a smile as bright as the sun: "Very good, this is why I came here."

What purpose?
Li Ang was confused when he heard this: Does sister-in-law want to increase the budget?
Although it is unnecessary to do so, without inviting superstars to join, the remaining $20 is more than enough to produce a high-quality MV.

Of course, if Beyoncé insisted on increasing the budget, he had no reason to refuse.

By then, we will join forces with Old Mike and inherit the glorious tradition of the US military.

A five-dollar prop will be reimbursed directly for five hundred dollars.

Just take the kickbacks.

However, Beyoncé's next answer was much more explosive than the additional budget.

She looked at Li Ang with lustful eyes, her eyes were drawn: "I want to join your MV."

"What?!" Everyone looked at each other in surprise.

"You heard me right, let me be the heroine of your MV this time~"

Upon hearing this, both Phil and Mike fell silent.

Since 06, Beyoncé seems to have not appeared in anyone else's music video except for her husband JAY-Z's music video.

The significance of this cannot be measured by money.

For the "Venus in Gold", even the highest bid would not be enough to impress her.

"Are you serious, Ms. Beyoncé?" Li Ang still felt a little unbelievable.

With the top queen of the music scene appearing in her own work, it’s hard for this MV not to take off.

"Of course it's true~ I hope you can provide some interesting ideas."

Beyoncé just sat down next to Li Ang without any airs of a diva.

Everyone talked about their ideas for the MV.

According to Lao Mai’s previous idea, a large number of CG special effects will be used in the MV, and Li Ang only needs to stand in front of the green screen and constantly change his shape.

In the initial stage of the MV, Li Ang will appear in front of the camera with his upper body naked as a redeemer.

Then, during the chorus of the song, the CG special effects will transform him into a demon covered in black liquid with fire spurting from his eyes.

There was no female lead in this idea, and Beyoncé's participation would have caused the entire filming plan to be scrapped.

After hearing Mike's idea, Beyoncé said happily: "I think this idea is cool. The image of the devil is simply great. It does not need any changes."

"But then we won't be able to arrange your role, Ms. Beyoncé."

"Why?" Beyoncé suddenly took Leon's arm. "I can appear as the redeemer and help the fallen Lucifer return to God's heaven."

Old Mike's eyes lit up when he heard this.

In the lyrics of "Demons", there is a paragraph before entering the last chorus.

I want to save their light
I want to catch those lights
I can't escape this now
I can't break free
Unless you show me how
Unless I get your guidance!

According to lyricist Li Ang, this is humanity's last weak struggle in the face of inevitable degeneration.

However, in the original MV shooting plan, Old Mike ignored this detail.

Leon's image fell from an apostle to a demon smoothly without any struggle.

There is a lack of depth and thought, which are key factors in whether a work can be nominated for the MTV Music Awards.

Old Mike quickly modified the script according to Beyoncé's idea. When Beyoncé walked out of the fitting room, all the staff on the scene were dumbfounded.

Old Mike was so excited that he almost couldn't hold the camera steady.

Beyoncé wore a one-piece white tight latex suit that covered her entire body, with only the bottomless Mariana Trench visible at her chest.

The upper half of her face was covered by a white hood, revealing her bright red lips.

The amazing S curve is clearly revealed against the backdrop of the latex suit.

Especially the slender and toned thighs, and the historically domineering taillights.

"How about it?"

When Beyoncé started speaking, Li Ang couldn't see her expression because of the headgear, he could only see the upward curve of her red lips.

Instead, it seems even more bewitching.

"Great!" Li Ang's eyes unconsciously looked at Beyoncé's taillights, "This is the real Texas Style."

A muscular physique, a tall figure, a confident smile, and a butt like a pickup truck.
That's a real Texas girl.

Lao Mai coordinated the on-site staff as quickly as possible.

The lighting technician nervously adjusted the position of the fill light, and the position of the reflector could not be wrong even by a centimeter.

The makeup artist makes the final fine-tuning on every detail of the protagonist.

With Beyoncé involved in such an important event, no one dared to make any mistakes.

Everyone knows that JAY-Z is the king of ROC, and Beyoncé is the queen of this company!

Even this queen has more power than the king, as JAY-Z almost completely obeys any instructions from Beyoncé.

"Action!" With Old Mike's command, the shooting officially began.

The first half of the film has not changed much compared to the original script. Li Ang appears shirtless and poses in front of the camera in various ways in front of a green screen.

"Le Ang, be more expressive. Show that you're struggling!"

"Photographer, hurry up! I need a close-up!"

"That's right, that's right!"

"Zoom in slowly, very good!"

Most of the shots in the first half were taken in one take.

Only the transition phase where Li Ang's image transforms into a devil during the chorus required five takes because I couldn't quite capture the emotions.

As the song entered its final stages, Beyoncé suddenly appeared in the camera.

With a height of 1.7 meters and 12 cm high heels, she looks a little taller than Li Ang.

She was like a loving mother, an angel, gently holding Li Ang's face.

Their bodies were pressed tightly together, and Leon felt that the pair of incredibly elastic breasts were suppressing his breathing.

Then, in front of everyone's astonished gaze, Beyoncé held Li Ang's chin and kissed him affectionately.

"WTF"

Everyone, including Li Ang, was stunned.

This part was not included in the original script design.

"Shxt, this is bad."

Old Mike scratched his head. Although this design was effective, he wondered what his boss JAY-Z’s expression would be when he saw the finished film.

'None of my business'

According to Old Mike, as a director, he cannot control the queen's willfulness.
