"Jingyuan, how do you feel about joining the team for filming again today?"
Li Chenghuan patted Chi Jingyuan on the shoulder, hugged him while walking, and said with concern with a smile.
They were currently in the green room backstage, and the members were performing the encore stage on stage and had not returned yet.
"It's pretty good. The main reason is that the director and screenwriter are easier to talk to and there aren't that many things to worry about."
Chi Jingyuan pursed his lips, thought for a while and then said something.
In fact, he could tell that some actors on the crew were dissatisfied with the focus on filming his scenes, but they just didn't say it outright.
"That's good. Director Kang Shin-hyo and screenwriter Kim Eun-sook really think highly of you, and they are very considerate when coordinating time between the company and the crew..."
Li Chenghuan nodded, and after briefly speaking with some luck, he took out his notepad, looked at it and talked about the business: "Jingyuan, it doesn't matter if you don't participate in some of the schedule because of the filming, but there are a few commercial shootings because of your LA The overseas filming has been postponed several times, and the advertising company is already urging us."
"I understand. As long as the crew agrees to coordinate the time, it doesn't matter to me."
Chi Jingyuan said OK, and then asked curiously: "Can't we just let other members go for some advertisements? I must come with them."
"Inside, the other members of the unspecified commercials have already finished filming, but there are a few that manufacturers and advertising agencies specifically named to require you to participate. After all, you also know that you are very important to the advertising agencies."
"..."
Chi Jingyuan nodded lightly. He had been favored by advertising companies and manufacturers since his debut last year when his popularity was not obvious, and he had accepted many advertisements. His image and temperament are also very popular among passers-by. After his advertisements are aired, basically manufacturers will see a significant increase in sales.
In the field of advertising, Chi Jingyuan among idols should be one of the most popular people whose commercial value is recognized. The members cannot compare with him in this aspect.
Many companies ask EXO to be the spokesperson. In fact, a large part of the reason is because of Chi Jingyuan. Some advertisements cannot be filmed without his participation.
"The three cases that I am waiting for the most urgently are the cosmetics brand NatureRepublic, which is a collaboration with Girls' Generation's Taeyeon. The second one is the endorsement of SK Telecom's LTE Infinite Energy, together with Sydney and Yoona."
"The last one is an old friend. This year's new advertisement for IVYclub, the school uniform endorsed by EXO, is with a new model named Seo Ruizhi."
Li Chenghuan looked at the notepad and introduced in a calm tone.
"Newcomer? Are you such a highly praised newcomer? Just after debuting, can we and XO shoot an advertisement together?"
Chi Jingyuan just listened silently in front, and became a little curious when he heard the last news.
"That's right. This newcomer's agency must have invested a lot of resources and given some benefits. Otherwise, our company would not agree to EXO's cooperation with the newcomer."
Lee Seung Hwan said of course that with EXO's current popularity and the newcomers co-producing commercials, the celebrity status of both parties is not equal.
"On the 10th, the kids are going to Kuala Lumpur to participate in this year's MTV World Stage, so they will come directly after the singing stage tomorrow. Of course, you don't have to attend because of your overseas schedule for filming."
"We will be back on the 12th and we will start shooting the commercial then. Jingyuan, please make preparations."
"I understand. Don't worry, Brother Chenghuan. You know me. Shooting commercials is just a small case for me."
Chi Jingyuan said nonchalantly, looking like there was no problem at all.
"Of course, you are now a famous actor who starred in SBS's major drama, writer Kim Eun-sook's new drama."
"Hehehe..."
…………
Chi Jingyuan and the members worked overtime that night and practiced for several hours on stage with 12 people.
Although we haven't practiced together for more than half a month, after all, we have practiced for a long time before, that is, after getting familiar with each other, there will be no problem.
The next day, all EXO members participated in the recording of "Music Center". This was also EXO's reunion after more than half a month.
This is also the last twelve-member singing stage for the return of "Roar". After today, EXO will officially end the one-month singing activity of this comeback.
"Jingyuanxi!"
"Nei, Anihasay."
"Can you sign an autograph for me? You didn't come to "Music Center" several times before. I have the autographs of other members. I am a big fan of XO and you. "Roar" is really cool. You How was it written?"
"Uh, Kangsangmita."
Chi Jingyuan looked at Kim So-hyun, who looked like a fan, like a fan girl in front of him, and signed the album handed to her with a smile.
Just now, several MCs came to the backstage for an interview. After the interview and the cameras were turned off, Kim So Hyun, one of the MCs, immediately came to Ji Jingyuan's side and started chatting with his eyes sparkling.
The other members were not surprised to see this. It seemed that they had all been asked for autographs, but compared to before, Kim So Hyun seemed to be more sincere and more like a fan when facing Ji Kyung Won.
This little girl born in 1999 made her debut in 2009 and is considered a senior, but she looked fascinated at this moment and kept asking Chi Jingyuan various questions. She was completely fan-like for a while. Only then was he called away by the staff to continue the interview.
"Jingyuan's charm is still great. In the first few issues, although people asked for autographs, they were not so enthusiastic about us."
"Oh, fans also have differences when it comes to idols..."
After the MC and staff left, several members immediately complained.
"Jingyuan, don't you want my contact information?"
Wu Shixun walked to the side and asked jokingly.
"Are you mistaken? She was born in 1999, and she is just like a little sister. Why do I need my contact information? To take care of the children?"
Chi Jingyuan glanced at him and looked a little speechless at Wu Shixun.
However, when it came to being born in 1999, he suddenly remembered someone he hadn't seen for a while...
…………
"My breathing is always short, and you come towards me."
“EXO-K!“
"You look at me and smile, you must be attracted to me too."
"EXO-M!"
"…………"
More than half a month later, Chi Jingyuan stood on the stage again, feeling a surge of excitement in his heart.
Especially after hearing the loud and enthusiastic cheers below.
EXO's explosive popularity is reflected in all aspects. The stage performances are becoming more and more intense and tidy, and organized support is one of them.
Now on the stage of "Roar", the planet fans already have a unified slogan to cheer for. Every time the members sing a line, they will shout a slogan together.
By the last chorus of 'I Eu-Reu-Reong You', all the fans sang together, the loud voice echoed throughout the recording hall, and the screams couldn't stop at all.
Half a month later, EXO reunited. Many fans were very excited to see Chi Jingyuan again, and they were particularly enthusiastic in supporting him.
The fan support on the XO stage was unique among all the artists participating in the singing show. It made the atmosphere of the entire scene extremely hot, and other fans and idols couldn't help but look at them constantly.
"Today's alternate Sunmi will face off against EXO. Who will be the winner of the trophy?"
"Please make the results public!"
Before the results were announced, Lee Sun Mi, who was standing to the left of the MC, already had a wry smile on her face. She pursed her lips and looked a little sad. However, when the camera came, she quickly managed her expression and showed a somewhat awkward smile.
She made her solo comeback after several years. Because the quality of the songs was very good, she originally wanted to prove herself with a few singles to increase her popularity, but who knew that a hit song with such exaggerated popularity would appear.
Before Park Jin Young's comeback, after watching the MV for "Roar", she felt that she was a bit hung up this time, and now she is indeed like this two weeks after her comeback.
Lee Sun Mi's hit song this time is "24 Hours Is Not Enough", and the music performance is very good. However, because it is a digital single and not an album, her album sales score will only be 0 points when the song is released.
When faced with EXO's "Roar", which has a powerful sound source and monster sales, I was completely crushed and lost my temper.
"Congratulations to EXO for winning the "Music Center" first place trophy for the third time in a row!"
As expected, after the MC's announcement, Lee Sun Mi looked relieved and started clapping vigorously.
EXO has graduated after three consecutive championships. No matter what happens next week, it will not be EXO, so she can look forward to the trophy next week, which can be considered as comfort.
As the MC, Kim So-hyun handed the trophy and microphone directly to Ji Kyung-won next to him without hesitation. He looked at him expectantly with a smile on his face, as if waiting for him to make a speech.
The corner of Chi Jingyuan's mouth twitched and he handed the trophy microphone to Jin Junmian.
This girl is a bit too enthusiastic and sincere, but it’s just that he usually doesn’t do such things as testimonials.
In less than a month, Kim Jun-myeon has given one of his speeches more than a dozen times, and he has become very proficient. He took the trophy and took the microphone and started to thank everyone, from Lee Soo-man to the assistants and makeup artists.
After the speeches were quickly finished, the idols bowed to each other and the others left.
On the encore stage afterwards, EXO made moves that made all the audience and fans scream.
During the encore, all 12 members of EXO lay down on the ground at the front of the stage, forming a long row, with their legs raised behind them, one arm raised to support their chin, and the other hand holding a microphone and singing.
The stage itself was higher than the auditorium. When they lay down, they were at the same height as the fans and audience members in the front row. They looked directly at each other and were very close. The fans in the front row covered their mouths in disbelief. The fanatic screams resounded through the eardrums.
In front of the camera, the twelve members were lying on the ground, each with a happy and lively smile on their faces. Several members who were closer, such as Chi Jingyuan and Wu Shixun, were still smiling and singing. They interact with each other by bumping their bodies, which makes people feel funny and warm at the same time.
The picture was frozen, and this shot that countless planet fans will recall and be moved by when they see it in the future was born.
And this classic shot also officially brought a successful conclusion to EXO's glorious singing career in "Roar".
