Taiwanese-Hong Kong actress Shu Qi is the next big name to star in JJ Lin's music video.
Titled "No Filter", the MV was released on Aug. 4, and racked up about 35,000 views within hours.
For almost four-minutes, the camera focuses on 44-year-old Shu Qi, who exudes elegance.

According to Lin's YouTube caption, the video aims for a dreamy and intoxicating vibe, and Shu Qi's "no-filter" beauty is drawn out through close-ups and slow motions.

Not a lot of storyline to the video though, and Lin (just his back view, technically) only appears for a few seconds at the end of the video.

Met at Miracle Coffee's opening
Although Lin and Shu Qi did not film in the same space, Lin prepared coffee and desserts from his own brand, Miracle Coffee, and had it delivered to Shu Qi during her shoot.
The actress reportedly praised the coffee that Lin made himself, saying that it was smooth and aromatic.

Lin also had good things to say about Shu Qi and her performance.
Not only did she bring the composition to the next level, he noted, but it is also many a boy's dream to work with a "goddess" such as Shu Qi.
"Besides Shu Qi, I really couldn't find anyone else suitable. Her beauty really needs no filter," Lin added.
The two had previously met at Miracle Coffee's opening.
Lin joked that Shu Qi drank three cups of coffee within two hours on that occasion.
The singer also found her personable and easy-going, which left a deep impression on him.

"JJ really is a creative genius after my own heart," she gushed.
