Miss Witch Doesn't Want to be a Diva-Chapter 454 - 171 Black Swan and White Swan
After finishing the story, the music video’s short film script was roughly set, and Audrey’s music company quickly sprung into action. First, a part of the team took the script to the building’s filming floor to prepare the set, followed by ordering the costumes, and then continuously adjusting the lyrics and music score.

With nearly a hundred people bustling about, the entire music video shoot was finally ready before darkness fell in the afternoon. It must be said that the efficiency was very high, which was also due to the fact that ’Agleya District’ was an area of high industrial density. It was very easy to find costume designers, set decorators, sound engineers, composers, and other related professionals. Even if the company’s own staff was insufficient, they could quickly find external support to fill in the gaps.
"Is everything about ready?" Audrey stood in front of the makeup mirror, giving her clothing and appearance one final check, and asked her assistant.
"No problem, Miss Second, we’ve already checked the site. It’s the familiar 28th-floor filming location. All we need to do is wait for Miss Tilan to change into her outfit, then we can head over," replied her assistant, dressed in a professional suit dress, looking very capable at about 28 years of age.
"OK, I’m going to check on Tilan." Smoothing out her intricately ornate white ballgown, Audrey walked over and knocked on the door of an adjacent compartment.
"Tilan, are you ready, or do you need help?"
"Um, I need help." Inside, the black-haired girl sat at her makeup vanity, looking somewhat troubled at the complicated black ballgown in front of her, unsure where to begin.
After entering and closing the door, Audrey found Tilan’s indecision about how to handle the dress amusing and walked over to help explain each step.
"You need to wear this inner lining first; that one is the petticoat, and this part needs to be secured with invisible tape. As for the wings on the side, have a staff member help you attach them after you’re fully dressed."
"It seems very complex."
"It’s like this, but you’ll get used to it. If Tilan isn’t too shy, you could ask a staff member for help, it would be much faster."
"Uh, let’s not." The girl felt somewhat uncomfortable about changing in front of others, even if they were the same gender, and declined Audrey’s suggestion.

"No worries, I’ll help you dress. You’ll get used to it eventually. Speaking of which, this must be Tilan’s first time shooting a music video, right? Suddenly, I feel very honored. If someone writes about Tilan online in the future, the very first line will definitely be about the song we shot together~" Audrey chuckled as she helped Tilan dress in the elaborate and elegant Black Swan gown, and proceeded to share some amusing anecdotes from a songstress’s life.
"In the Central Star Domain, there are quite a few songstresses, and we occasionally meet for various shows and get-togethers."
"Because we’re songstresses, we’re quite adept at reading emotions, so our conversations can sometimes be awkward. For instance, some segments aren’t really that interesting, but for the sake of the show or reaching a certain plot point or joke, we have to play along."
"It’s usually fine, but when there are songstresses present, that unwillingness and inner monologue of annoyance is something that the others can sense. And sometimes, you have to collaborate and act it out together, hahaha, it feels so ridiculous that you just want to laugh."
"Some of the veteran songstresses control their emotions and expressions very well, making it hard for others to tell. But some of the newer generation, like me, or even younger ones like ’Azure Bubble’ Merulu, can’t help but laugh on the spot or fail to manage their expressions, forcing the production team to improvise."
"That’s what it’s like on official shows, and private gatherings are the same. You can’t have too many people, especially multiple songstresses together, it gets weird."
"Why is it weird?" asked the girl, curious.
"Because it’s too straightforward. For example, if a group of us goes out to eat, under normal circumstances, there might be someone who doesn’t like that particular restaurant or isn’t interested in that kind of food. But out of consideration for others, they would typically remain silent or hide their opinion."
"However, songstresses can’t hide these feelings from each other, so it turns into a kind of hell where you can only speak the truth. If someone feels dislike or aversion, the other songstresses can sense it, and you can’t ignore such disagreements. You can’t just drag someone along knowing they don’t want to go; that would be too impolite."
"It seems that’s really the case." Tilan nodded thoughtfully, then looked at Audrey in front of her, who was filled with a gentle joy at the moment.
"But there are benefits too. For instance, songstresses who share similar temperaments and interests can grow closer more easily. That kind of mutual understanding and resonance goes far beyond what ordinary friends experience."
"That’s right. Like right now, I really like Tilan. Do you know how I feel?" said Audrey, winking at Tilan in the mirror, her blunt emotions causing the black-haired girl in the reflection to feel shy and embarrassed.
She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but not knowing what to say to alleviate the awkwardness.
"Alright, alright, I won’t make things difficult for Tilan, hehehe~ I know what you’re thinking. Probably feeling embarrassed and clueless, right? But you certainly don’t dislike me, and knowing just that makes me very happy."
As the two grew more familiar with each other, Audrey gradually returned to her usual self rather than the dignified, gentle, polite young lady she was when they first met.
It turns out she and Feng Jianxue really were siblings; they often bickered and teased each other, but their relationship was indeed very close.
"All set, ta-da-da~ The magnificent Black Swan Singer Hexia, makes her appearance~"
