At the end of the corridor leading to the stage, a few people from Team K started chatting with two people from Apink. Hong Yu-kyung didn't say much and seemed a little shy. And Zheng Eunji was very cheerful and seemed to be quite sociable. He kept laughing while chatting and never opened his smiling eyes, which quickly brought them closer to each other.
Chi Jingyuan, who was just standing at the back of the team, leaning against the wall and looking at the stage, always felt that the two Apink members would glance at him from time to time.
Just watch it, he's used to it.
The cover stage was not long, just over a minute. Soon the other Apink members finished their rehearsal and walked down in a row.
Seeing this, EXO-K also cheered up. After Kim Junmyeon and Jung Eunji said "fighting" to each other, they led the members towards the stage.
The members of the two groups lined up in a line, bowing and saluting each other as they passed each other, without much communication.
When Oh Ha-young, who was second in the line, saluted, his eyes widened when he saw that it was EXO-K. He looked directly at Ji Kyung-won, who was at the end of the row, and at the same time, he lightly patted Son Na-eun behind him with his right hand.
Other Apink members also spotted Chi Jingyuan and couldn't help but look at him from the corner of their eyes while saluting.
After the two teams passed each other, Chi Jingyuan, who was walking at the end, always felt like someone was staring at him from behind.
This discomfort made him look back in confusion.
I saw several members of Apink walking towards the backstage as if nothing happened.
Without thinking much, he walked a few steps quickly and stood in his place. The music of "MAMA" started playing and they began to rehearse.
There is no need to turn on the microphone during the rehearsal. The main thing is to familiarize yourself with your stance and dance moves, as well as some scheduled activities after the official debut.
Normally, you don’t need to wear singing clothes for rehearsals of singing shows. Usually you don’t even need to put on make-up, you just wear private clothes and just come up directly.
But this time it was a dream concert, which was a little different from usual.
…
"I know why the production team's PD said that."
Backstage, seven people from Apink walked towards the lounge. Sun Naen, who was walking in the middle, thought about the encounter with Team K just now and said something with some approval.
"Yeah! That's enough."
"He is really handsome and has a very good temperament, but the difference is not that big."
Zheng Endi frowned, and she felt a little recognition in her heart, but it was very embarrassing to say it out loud.
She saw Pu Chulong in front of her and nodded slightly, asking for help: "What do you think, Ernie?"
"..." Pu Chulong, who was suddenly called, was stunned for a moment, turned around and bit his lip, with innocent eyes, he clenched his fist and gestured to Zheng Endi:
"fighting!"
…………
Time passed quickly, and as the audience all entered the venue, the Dream Concert officially began.
This time the MCs are three popular idols, 2PM’s Ok Taecyeon, Kara’s Han Seungyeon, and ZE:A’s Im Siwan.
EXO-K’s stage is in the first half, and the “MAMA” stage is third after the opening, behind APINK’s performance.
The cheers received after taking the stage were also quite good. The audience who entered the stage were very considerate, and the cheers for each group were very strong.
Chi Jingyuan saw his team's fan base.
On the third-floor stands facing the stage, the names of SM's groups - EXO-K, Girls' Generation, SM Town, and TVXQ - are written all over the floor. 'Several signs are lined up in a row, and fans of all SM groups are sitting here in an organized manner.
It feels good to have someone supporting me, even if the number of people is not that large compared to the fan base of my senior next door.
After the "MAMA" performance, several people quickly went down to change out of their singing clothes. Everyone put on a suit, three wore bow ties, and three wore ties, and then went to the stage to wait.
To be honest, Chi Jingyuan felt that this suit was a lot better than their "MAMA" singing outfits.
After APink's cover stage ended, under the signal of the staff, several people walked onto the stage. After taking their positions in the center, the music of "sorry, sorry" sounded.
The response and support for this stage was much more enthusiastic than the previous "MAMA". This explosive cover stage has its own flow and support.
After the stage ended, they had nothing to do. After returning to the backstage, they continued to wait. Finally, there was a stage where all the artists appeared together.
After all the shows are over, all participating groups will come on stage to sing the closing song "Butterfly".
This song can be regarded as the classic closing song of the dream concert.
There were several members who couldn't sing this song before, so they memorized the lyrics and learned how to sing it. Chi Jingyuan was one of them.
When the performance ended and everyone got on stage to sing, he realized that his efforts were in vain.
The popular senior group was the first to appear, and they immediately occupied the first row of seats. When EXO-K came on stage, the first few rows were already full of people, and there was no gap left.
They could only stand two or three rows back, completely blocked by the wall of people in front of them, just like when they were on a singing show to give awards.
The chorus is even more funny. It’s called a chorus, but the people behind them don’t even have a microphone and can’t do anything except applaud.
Amid their enthusiastic and sincere applause and as dazzling fireworks flew into the sky, the concert officially came to an end.
…………
"Card!"
"Very good, take a rest." Director Shin Won-ho shouted.
He was wearing shorts and short sleeves, wearing sneakers, a director's hat, and a pair of black-rimmed glasses on his chubby face, showing a satisfied smile.
Following his order, the crew, which had been silent just now due to filming, became lively and chatted in twos and threes.
Shen Yuanhao gave Chi Jingyuan a thumbs up, his eyes full of obvious appreciation.
After Chi Jingyuan saluted several creative staff and senior actors, he walked a few steps to his seat, borrowed the small handheld fan handed over by Park Jae-hyun, and blew it hard on himself while constantly panting. .
It's really hot.
It is now late June, almost a month has passed since the dream concert.
The crew of "Reply 1997" was formed half a month ago. First, a script study meeting was held to get to know the main actors of this TV series.
Chi Jingyuan also joined the group for filming at the same time.
