235: Chapter 235, "Hair Like Snow," MV Officially Released.

The two of them sat in the rest area for a while longer.

It wasn't until the staff notified them that they could leave that they stood up, packed their things, and walked outside.

As they walked out of the theater, the night breeze blew towards them.

There were still puddles on the street, reflecting the light of the streetlamps.

Lu Li stood on the steps and took a deep breath of the chilling air.

"Hoo... It feels like time passes so fast. Back during the competition, I was as busy as a top, and now that things have suddenly quieted down, I'm still a bit unaccustomed to it."

Shen Qingxue stood beside him and also looked up at the night sky.

"Then take this opportunity to enjoy this downtime a bit more, because there will be even busier times ahead."

"That's true."

The two of them exchanged a glance and burst into simultaneous laughter.

Afterwards, the two walked side by side down the steps, hailed a taxi, and headed towards the hotel.

After returning to the hotel, Lu Li didn't rush back to his own room, but instead followed Shen Qingxue into hers.

"Sit down, don't rush off just yet."

Lu Li sat down on the small sofa in her room, took out his phone, opened Douyin, and entered the backend of the "Rock Sugar Pear" account.

Shen Qingxue also sat down next to him, naturally leaning over and resting on his shoulder while looking at the phone screen.

Lu Li pulled out the official version of the "hair like snow" MV sent by Jiang Cheng and quickly went through it from start to finish once more.

The visual texture in the footage had improved by another notch compared to the rough cut, and the transition of color tones and rhythm was even smoother.

"It's good, there's nothing left to change. Just post it directly."

After watching it, Shen Qingxue also agreed with Lu Li's idea.

Lu Li exited the playback interface, opened the publishing page, imported the video file, and then lowered his head to edit a piece of copywriting.

[The official version of the "hair like snow" MV is now live! Thank you to Director Jiang Cheng for the strong support, and thank you to all the friends who support us.]

He handed the phone to Shen Qingxue.

"Take a look, is there anything that needs to be added?"

Shen Qingxue took it and quickly read through it.

"Just post it like this, there's nothing to modify."

"OK."

Lu Li took back the phone, his fingertips landing on the publish button, pausing for a fraction of a second before pressing down.

After the prompt indicating the video was successfully published popped up, he placed the phone on the coffee table and leaned back against the sofa.

"Alright, now we wait."

Sitting beside him, Shen Qingxue also took out her own phone, opened Douyin, and refreshed the homepage.

The latest video was already displayed on the homepage of the "Rock Sugar Pear" account.

The comment section was instantly flooded with a large number of messages.

[Holy crap? An MV?! And it's the official version?!]

[First row, first row! Grabbing a seat before watching!]

[The goddess looks way too gorgeous in this MV. Is this what a great beauty from ancient times looks like?]

[Family members, it's another day of envying Lu Li.]

[To be frank, a good MV should be filmed with good-looking people. This must be advocated!]

[Lu Li is alright too, he just looks rather charismatic.]

[You upstairs really don't have a single nice thing to say.]

[Although there's a gap compared to other MVs, considering the scale of Lu Li and the goddess, this quality is indeed quite good.]

[Suddenly a bit curious, who is the director of this MV? They definitely have some skills!]

[As long as the vibe is completely right, it's even better than a major production.]

Lu Li scrolled through the comments one by one, the curve of his lips unable to be suppressed no matter what.

No wonder ancient emperors loved listening to the words of sycophants; with one compliment after another like this, who wouldn't love hearing them?

On the other side, Shen Qingxue was also browsing on her phone.

Occasionally, when she scrolled across a particularly interesting comment, she would quietly tilt her phone towards him so they could look at it together.

Outside the window, the night grew deeper, and only a single lamp was lit inside the room.

After a while longer, Lu Li put his phone aside.

"Oh right, tomorrow after finishing the MV for "blue and white porcelain", there should still be time in the afternoon. I plan to take advantage of that gap to record the demo for "boundless oceans, vast skies". Do you want to listen to it together then?"

"Of course."

Shen Qingxue hardly hesitated.

"It'll also be a good chance to help you listen if there's any part of the arrangement that needs adjusting."

Lu Li nodded, silently rearranging tomorrow's schedule in his mind once again.

Shoot the MV in the morning, record the demo in the afternoon, and in the evening... we'll talk about the evening later; let's see if there's time to invite Xu Ran and the others out for a chat.

"Alright, it's getting late. I'll head back to rest first; I have to wake up early tomorrow morning."

Lu Li stood up from the sofa and lowered his gaze to look at her.

Shen Qingxue also stood up and walked him to the door.

"Good night."

"Good night."

Lu Li walked out the door, casually pulled it shut for her, and then walked back to his own room along the corridor.

After returning to his room, he didn't rest immediately and started getting busy again...

The next morning.

Just as the sky was fully brightening here, Lu Li woke up.

He pulled open the curtains and took a look. Fortunately, it was a rare occasion without rain, though the sky looked somewhat dim.

Shen Qingxue quickly sent a message telling him to go downstairs for breakfast.

Lu Li finished washing up and changed his clothes.

When he arrived at the restaurant, Shen Qingxue was already sitting by the window with breakfast laid out in front of her.

He walked over, sat down, picked up a pan-fried dumpling, and took a bite.

"The weather is pretty good today. Although there's no sun, at least it's not raining. It's just right for shooting an MV."

Shen Qingxue raised her head and glanced out the window.

"Yeah, this kind of lighting is actually better, not too harsh."

The two of them finished breakfast quietly, tidied up briefly, and hailed a taxi to head to the agreed-upon shooting location.

When they arrived at the riverside, Jiang Cheng had already arrived.

She was squatting on the stone steps by the riverbank, holding a camera in her hands and framing the water's surface.

Hearing footsteps, she didn't even turn her head back, just casually asked a question.

"Did you bring the clothes? Don't be like last time."

"Rest assured, I brought them."

Shen Qingxue shook the paper bag in her hand, which contained the two sets of outfits prepared for "blue and white porcelain".

Hearing this, Lu Li instinctively touched his nose.

How did things inexplicably become a bit awkward?

Only then did Jiang Cheng stand up, pat the dust off her pants, and turn around.

"That'll do. You guys go change first; I'll adjust the camera positions here a bit more, and we can start filming directly once you've changed."

Lu Li and Shen Qingxue didn't delay further and went off to change clothes respectively.
