The controversy over not inviting Li Hyuk to the Spring Festival Gala became more lively after Dragon TV hosted the Spring Festival Gala on the third day of the Lunar New Year.
After finally hiring Li Hyuk and spending so much money, Dragon TV will definitely make the money back. So Li Hyuk performed for more than 40 minutes by himself, and it almost became a solo concert.
The most amazing thing is that they were so impressed that when Lee Hyuk left the stage, the audience was still not satisfied and kept shouting for an encore to let Lee Hyuk return.
This made the guests who came later very embarrassed, and it also showed that Li Hyuk's performance was indeed great.
It was because of Li Hyuk's concert-level performance on Dragon TV that the audience who watched the local station's Spring Festival Gala complained even more about the main station's Spring Festival Gala.
You are not required to give Li Hyuk more than 40 minutes of performance time like Dragon TV, at least one song is fine!
However, the Spring Festival Gala is over, and there is no point in discussing these anymore. It is better to focus on whether Li He can attend next year's Spring Festival Gala.
The New Year is gradually passing, and people's lives have returned to normal. It's time to go to work and go to school. And Li Hyuk's album production has also entered the MV shooting stage, and he specially went to Italy to shoot the MV.
MV director Kuang Sheng plans to shoot in Rome, Milan, Naples and other famous Italian cities.
He also specially invited the famous Italian actress, actress and model Elisa Servina to star in the "In the Name of the Father" MV. The only Italian actress Li Hyuk knew was Monica Bellucci.
But at Monica Bellucci's age, Li He probably wants to call her aunt.
Eliza Severna was born in 1987. Although she is not as well-known as Monica Bellucci, she is not bad at all in terms of appearance and figure.
The MV was filmed in various cathedrals in Rome and Milan. When filming in Naples, the MV crew even encountered difficulties from the local mafia.
"We are shooting a music video." The Italian translator who communicated with the crew and the local people was a Chinese student studying in Rome. When he saw the Mafia, he felt that something was wrong.
Several mafia members wearing hats and black suits looked at the crew, recognized Eliza Severna, and waved to her: "Come here..."
Eliza Servina was panicked. There had been rumors before that mafia bosses would often find female celebrities to accompany them to spend a "pleasurable" time. Eliza Servina thought she had been chosen.
But Eliza Severna thought too much. These mafia gangsters just didn't trust yellow people and wanted her to answer.
"What music video are you filming?" a leader asked.
"Well, it seems to be a story about the Godfather of the Mafia." Eliza Servina answered carefully.
"The Godfather of the Mafia? Who sang that?"
Eliza Severna pointed at Li He: "It's that Chinese..."
The mafia leader came to Li He again, asked Eliza Servina to translate, and asked Li He: "Why do you want to sing the role of the mafia leader?"
Li Hyuk had no choice but to explain that he wrote this song because he was inspired by the movie Godfather series.
The "Godfather" series is very famous in Italy and is even the bible of the Mafia. When the Mafia leader saw that it was actually a song by a foreigner paying homage to the Mafia, he was no longer embarrassed and asked Li He if he needed help.
Li He thought for a while and said: "We need a prayer recitation in Italian, and we also need to go to the Cathedral of Naples for filming."
The purpose of coming to Italy, besides shooting the MV, Li Hyuk also wanted to record an Italian prayer at the beginning of the song. He was not satisfied with the part that had been added to the song before.
However, this selection has not been smooth, and no matter how much money is given, it will not work. There is also the Cathedral of Naples. This ancient church was built in 1247, and the application of the MV crew was rejected.
Li He just wanted to give it a try to see if these mafias could help. After all, compared to other places in Italy, Naples is known as a city controlled by the mafia, and with their help, the trouble would be much less.
The Mafia left, and a few days later, someone was sent to tell the crew that they could go to the church for filming, but the content of the filming had to be reviewed, and there were some places that were absolutely not allowed to be filmed.
In addition, after communication, the bishop of the Cathedral of Naples was willing to help.
A double blessing, the crew quickly completed filming in the cathedral and also completed the prayer recital in a recording studio.
Eliza Severna thought she was going to be doomed. She would not end well if she was targeted by the mafia. Unexpectedly, a dramatic reversal occurred, which scared her and said it was so thrilling.
This is also Eliza Severna's first MV trip, and the result is still very good.
In addition, the mafia boss and his subordinates also kindly joined the filming of the MV and became actors. It is ironic to think about the mafia playing the role of the mafia.
When filming, Kuang Sheng was afraid that these mafia gangsters would cause trouble and be dissatisfied. But as it turned out, these mafia gangsters were very dedicated and attentive to the filming.
Acting in his true colors does not require any acting skills.
"Okay, one, two, three, let's start..." Following Kuang Sheng's shout, Li He, Eliza Servina, the boss named Mike, and the mafia gangsters walked on the streets of Naples.
The MV is composed of mixed shots of the church, with Lee Hyuk wearing sunglasses and a gangster-like shot in a black suit, creating an epic feeling.
After this filming, Mike's MV guest appearance tour ended. Before leaving, Mike hugged Li He: "You are great. If you were not born in China, you must be a pure mafia man."
"Thank you for your help, Mike, but I think it's better not to be this mafia." Li He said with a smile.
"Man, you are biased against the Mafia." Mike said, handing the business card to Li He.
Li He was still hesitant whether to accept it or not. Eliza Servina took Li He's arm and said, "Take it. In Italy, it is more useful to go to the mafia than to the police."
"She's right, this is my kindness, you can't refuse it," Mike said.
Li He had no choice but to accept it and decided not to come to Italy in the future.
After the MV shooting ended, the crew did not dare to stay and quickly bought air tickets to fly back to China. This wonderful journey scared everyone in the crew into cold sweats.
But it's also quite strange. Because of the mafia's relationship, the filming of the MV went very smoothly.
Returning to Shang Hai, the MV was edited soon. Li Hyuk had no impression of Jay Chou's version of the MV, but this version of the MV can be said to be a big deal, and with some expansion it could be made into a movie.
At the same time, Li Hyuk also added the prayers of the Italian priest to the song, officially completing the production of "In the Name of the Father".
Xu Song and Xue Zhiqian both came to see Li Hyuk's album production. After watching it, they only had one comment, and that was that it was perverted and extravagant.
When making an album, usually only one to three songs are the title song, and the quality of the other songs is much worse than the title song.
But after listening to Li Hyuk's entire album, you will find that the entire album does not matter at all as the title song, because everything can be used as the title song, and there is no longer a title song.
This kind of luxury is something no other singer has ever had.
Perhaps only a pervert like Li Hyuk would do this.
The most terrifying thing is that this guy is actually releasing albums at a rate of one a year. It seems that his creativity and talent are inexhaustible.
