After completing all non-musical scenes, the crew began filming the musical parts. Both Wang Yang and Valery-Fister were inexperienced in this area, but luckily there was Annie Fletcher, the dance instructor for "Titanic," who had ample experience with filming musical scenes. She knew where to place the cameras and what frames to capture, serving as a guiding light in this respect.
Of course, the focus of filming was on the visuals—that is, the dance. As for the singing, it was sufficient to match the lip-syncing during close-up shots, and the actual songs could be added in post-production.
After swiftly signing the contract, David Lawrence quickly arrived in Salt Lake City with his songs. Once Wang Yang had chosen the songs he was satisfied with, Lawrence taught the leads how to sing them. Annie Fletcher choreographed dances matching the style and rhythm of the songs for filming.
