"You are my orientation sniper, my orientation sniper..."
Humming a song, Chi Jingyuan walked into the building and walked familiarly to the studio of "Music Bank". Now dozens of people had come in scatteredly, including the person in charge of the idol support fans and The staff are available.
His seat was in the third row. After a casual glance, he walked over and sat in his seat. At this time, there was no one on the left and right of Chi Jingyuan, but there were two girls who looked like fans sitting behind him. I know how they got in so early.
Ordinary viewers do not need to buy tickets to watch "Music Bank". They only need to apply on the KBS official website one to two weeks in advance. The fanclubs of participating artists and idol groups in each episode will also be divided into tens to highs. Hundreds of places are available for entry, allowing them to support their idols.
The cooperating companies will also have some internal tickets. Chi Jingyuan came in this time to ask for one from his agent. "Music Bank" officially starts recording at five o'clock in the afternoon. Ordinary viewers have to wait until around four o'clock to enter. Chi Jingyuan, who has an internal pass, does not need to wait that long and can just come in and watch.
This time is idol rehearsal and pre-recording time. The MC is still doing lyrics and interviews. The fan group has not entered the venue and there is no atmosphere of support. In fact, there is nothing interesting to watch.
However, EXO will fly to Xia Kingdom at seven o'clock tonight, and he will return to the company to meet the members at around four o'clock. Ji Jingyuan didn't have time to watch the scene. Watching Jiang Seulgi and the others' rehearsal or pre-recorded stage in advance could be regarded as witnessing their significant debut moment.
Chi Jingyuan has participated in countless recordings of singing shows and is very familiar with it. Depending on the situation, a round of rehearsals should have been completed by now. Now SM staff are building the scenery on the stage. The color of the background can be seen at a glance. red velvet.
Moreover, the big colorful mouth that had been built in the background really impressed Chi Jingyuan.
Wearing a mask and hat, he sat on his seat and looked at the staff who were setting up the scenery above, waiting for Bae Zhuhyun and the others to appear soon.
Although there were not many people at the scene, he did attract a lot of attention when he came in because of his conspicuous figure and temperament. However, after he sat down and most of his figure was blocked by the chair, those who looked at others stopped looking at him.
For example, the two fans from other fans sitting in the back who didn't know how they got in had been staring at Chi Jingyuan when he came in. When they saw that he was sitting right in front of them, they had the idea of going up to strike up a conversation. They wanted to know this. Whose family is this handsome guy with such a good figure?
The two of them hesitated for a moment and then realized that the handsome guy in front of them had no intention of communicating with anyone, so they gave up. However, one of the girls always glanced from behind from time to time. Although she was wearing a mask and a hat, she always I think this handsome guy looks very familiar.
However, they didn't really take any action. The two of them looked back and started chatting about the idols who participated in the show today and the recent news in the industry. They were obviously very senior fans and knew everything about idols.
"Did you say that Bom actually read it? YG clarified some time ago that she only asked someone to deliver medicine for treatment without her knowledge."
Bom is Park Bom's stage name.
"She must have read it. Who doesn't know about YG's ethos? Do you believe their clarification? Don't worry, even if she didn't read it, it is still illegal. We are definitely right to oppose her."
But it happened to be okay at the moment, and the two people's voices were not quiet. Chi Jingyuan listened in front and found it quite interesting.
"Oh, I quite like 2ne1. After this incident, I guess it will be difficult for them in the future... By the way, do you know that SM's new girl group will officially debut on "Music Bank" today?"
"Of course I know. Those four parrots are very popular now. I left a message against them on SM's official account the day before yesterday."
"Parrot?"
"Because there is a parrot at the beginning of their trailer video, and everyone's hair color is very funny, they look like four parrots, and now many people are calling it that... To be honest, the makeup of several people in the video is really ugly. Damn it, the girl group SM released this time is much worse than the previous ones."
"I also think it's so ugly. If they hadn't insisted on debuting to grab resources, Luhan and Oppa wouldn't have left."
"Aren't you a fan of b1a4? Do you like xo too?"
"Of course……"
Chi Jingyuan in the front didn't know what to say when he heard the two people's comments about Red Velvet. One of the two girls seemed to be a fan of their EXO.
Fans are maintained by their admiration and love for their idols, and the overall age is also young. Therefore, many people in this group are relatively blind and only believe in what they want to believe. They are also more easily excited. In order to protect their idols, they often Conflict breaks out online.
Even if red velvet is attacked by many XO fans, Chi Jingyuan, one of the members, cannot blame them, because these fans actually have a lot of motivations for EXO.
Even though some of their practices are actually of no benefit to Chi Jingyuan and the others.
It can only be said that SM chose the right time for Lai De Beibei to debut. It pushed them directly to the forefront, as if they were roasted on the fire.
Chi Jingyuan waited while listening to the two female fans at the back complaining about various idols. After a while, the dance set was completed. Within five minutes, he saw the four people from Pei Zhuhyun, led by the assistant, from He walked out from the background and stood on the stage.
At this time, a photographer in the first row who was probably used to take photos of the debut also started filming them with a camera.
Contrary to Chi Jingyuan's expectation, when the four of Pei Zhuhyun came on stage, a burst of cheers and cheers erupted from the audience. Although there were only a few people and the sound was not loud, it was good to have someone supporting them.
I don’t know if it was really Bae Zhuhyun and the others who sucked the food, or the atmosphere team hired by the company.
Chi Jingyuan felt very interesting looking at the four red velvet people on the stage.
At this time, they had put on stage clothes and put on makeup. Bae Zhuhyun, Park Sooyoung, Son Seungwan and Kang Seulgi were lined up in order. Their hair tail dyes in four colors of pink, green, blue and orange looked very conspicuous.
They stood there, listening to the low-pitched cheers, and feeling so many eyes staring at them. Everyone's expressions, movements, and even eyes all showed the tension in their hearts that could not be concealed.
After Bae Zhuhyun stepped on the stage, she kept stroking her hair on the left and right sides, stroking her hair every once in a while. When she didn't move her hair, she didn't know where to put her hands. They were placed stiffly in front of her, and her eyes were blank. They were a little afraid to look at the audience in front of them.
Pu Xiurong stood there motionless, covering his face and looking at the people in front of him with his peripheral vision.
Sun Shengwan clenched his hands tightly in front of him, opened his mouth slightly, and his eyes kept swaying from side to side.
In the end, Jiang Seulqi kept laughing from the moment she stood up, puffing out her cheeks and chirping in a naive manner, which made Chi Jingyuan want to laugh.
Even though the four of them have participated in many showcases before and performed many times on the public stage, when they stood on the debut stage that they dreamed of, everyone still performed very grandly, that kind of performance from the bottom of their hearts. The confusion reflected can be felt by anyone who takes a quick look at it.
They stood like this on the stage for almost a minute, their expressions almost frozen and unable to stand anymore. When the PD finally signaled to start recording, the four people quickly walked over and took the opening pose.
The music of the debut song "happiness" started playing immediately, and the stage that had been practiced countless times was displayed in front of everyone.
"lalalalalalalalalala, happiness!"
“lalalalalalalalalala, I want it!”
“lalalalalalalalalala, dream.”
Sitting in the audience, Chi Jingyuan tilted his head and looked at the four people performing on the stage seriously with his clear eyes.
He found that when the music started, the expressions of several people and the youthful feeling they had just given people immediately changed, and the dances and songs that had been practiced countless times for this stage were displayed in front of everyone.
The hard work, sweat and gains of several years of being a trainee seemed to be integrated into every movement, smile and wink at this moment.
In fact, it can be seen that they are still quite nervous. Everyone's movements are very vigorous. Chi Jingyuan also heard Jiang Seulqi's voice trembling obviously.
But the way they radiate their charm on stage is like a debut idol.
Looking at the entire stage, the one that impressed him the most was Son Seung-wan's last part.
She stood in position C, dancing and singing in a high-pitched voice: "shi shine on me yeah~". The bright and steady voice made Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but his eyes lit up. She didn't make any movement on the surface, but she was secretly cheering in her heart. He slapped his palm.
He had never heard Sun Shengwan sing before, so he knew that her selection into the group was mainly due to her singing skills and good voice. Unexpectedly, hearing it live this time actually made him feel a little surprised.
Moreover, based on Chi Jingyuan's aesthetics, among the red velvet debut looks, Son Seung-wan should be the best-looking one. She can digest this kind of ordinary makeup very well.
Bae Zhuhyun's eyeliner looks a bit awkward.
The first pre-recording was not used due to some small mistakes. After a short break, the recording quickly resumed.
Problems also occurred the second time, and the third time started.
This kind of important pre-recorded stage will usually be recorded several times even if there are no mistakes. Finally, the one with the best effect will be used for playback. The one with the most exo was last year when they recorded the stage of "Wolf" because the dance was too It was difficult and there were always various mistakes. It took a total of six or seven recordings and everyone was exhausted before it was completed.
By the time of the third recording, during the last chorus, Bae Zhu Hyun stretched out her hands and danced her part. She looked at the camera and the audience below with a smile on her face. When her eyes were scanning among them, she suddenly stopped suddenly. .
She recognized the man wearing a mask and baseball cap sitting in the middle of the empty third row as Chi Jingyuan at a glance.
Even though she was wearing a mask, she was so familiar with Chi Jingyuan that she could easily recognize him just by looking at the upper half of his face. With the conspicuous Poke Ball logo in the middle of the white hat, he was 100% the same person she was in the background just now. The person who also said that unfortunately he didn't have time and couldn't come to witness their debut today couldn't be wrong.
Chi Jingyuan's smiling eyes and Pei Zhuhyun's eyes collided in the air, and he felt the surprise in the other's eyes.
Immediately afterwards, Pei Zhuhyun quickly withdrew her gaze and moved quickly as if she hadn't seen her. However, Chi Jingyuan noticed that the rhythm of her dancing was obviously slightly messed up.
Unable to resist squinting his eyes as if he was playing a prank, Chi Jingyuan blinked innocently at the angry look that Pei Zhuhyun sent him next.
This recording was okay, but I decided to record it again for better results.
During the last pre-recording, Bae Joo-hyun, who was still surprised and joyful before, had already adjusted. Except for the fact that during the performance, her eyes would glance over and look at him, then look away, and then glance over again and then look away again. Apart from making small movements, there was no other abnormality.
The recording effect this time was great. After discussing with the on-site PD, SM decided to complete the stage pre-recording. They danced four times in a row. The four girls who were already sweating and tired all breathed a sigh of relief and stood together to work. Personnel and spectators bowed in thanks.
Chi Jingyuan looked at Bae Zhuhyun and inadvertently glanced at her after bowing. He raised his hand and made a fist sign to cheer her up, and then clapped his hands gently and watched them walk off the stage and exit.
After Red Velvet finished recording, Chi Jingyuan tightened his mask and hat, stood up, carried his bag and walked out, leaving the studio of "Music Bank". The two female fans behind him stared at him with frowns. until the back is completely invisible.
I always feel that this person looks so familiar...
"Hey Yigu, when I first came on stage, I felt like my heart was about to jump out."
"Me too. I've been practicing for so long, but when I stood up, I was totally confused."
As soon as she returned to the lounge backstage, Jiang Seulqi breathed heavily and kept patting her chest, and several other people also agreed.
They now really realize that the debut stage is completely different from the previous month-end assessments, showcase stages and the like.
From now on, they are already debuting artists. From now on, they will officially start their idol careers in the Peninsula entertainment industry with the stage names of irene, wendy, seulgi, and joy, and the group red velvet.
"Unnie, why are you laughing?" Jiang Seulqi looked at Bae Zhuhyun for a while, and found that this sister had not said much. She was sitting there looking forward in a daze, with a faint smile on her face, and she didn't know where she was. Think about something.
"Ah." Pei Zhuxuan screamed when she was woken up. She immediately reacted and smoothed the hair next to her left ear. She smiled and said casually: "No, I remembered the stage just now."
Except for her, the other three members didn't seem to notice that Chi Jingyuan came to watch their pre-recording... Pei Zhuhyun suddenly felt a strange sense of tacit understanding in his heart.
Let's talk to them after we go back in the evening.
At this time, Park Xiurong suddenly remembered something, sighed and his face darkened a lot: "I don't know if the comments on the Internet will improve after our first stage broadcast..."
Mentioning this, several people fell into silence.
They are not blind or deaf. Even if their mobile phones are controlled during events, they always have opportunities and channels to read online comments.
Moreover, idols who have just debuted generally care very much about their online evaluations. The freshness of their debut, as well as their desire for fame and popularity, make them care more about the current reputation and want it almost all the time. See if there are any new fans supporting them.
It's a pity that in the past two days, there has been nothing but curses and all kinds of obscenities on the Internet.
Seeing that several sisters were a little sad, Pei Zhuxuan, who actually felt uncomfortable in her heart, pursed her lips and smiled, cheered up and took the initiative to pump her fist to cheer them up, her tone was full of determination and longing:
"Most definitely!"
………………
"Aren't you dizzy today?"
The plane took off from the airport and flew into the clouds. Wu Shixun, who was reading a book, casually glanced to the right and found that Chi Jingyuan, who was sitting next to him and usually wore a blindfold to avoid being afraid of heights, was actually holding a After looking at several documents carefully, I couldn't help but ask curiously. At the same time, I leaned over and took a quick look: "What are you looking at?"
"A few newly received scripts."
Chi Jingyuan stared at the information in his hand and responded without turning his head: "Actually, it's quite sad... but it's not a big problem if you look at it for a while."
"Script? Hey Yigu, are you ready to take on the role again? Actor Chi?" Wu Shixun immediately lost interest after hearing the script. The current planning and positioning given to him by the company did not mean to rely on actors at all. Now exo is in the company Only Ji Kyung-won and Do Kyung-soo were interested in such an arrangement, and Do Kyung-soo was just starting out.
He was very interested, but the company didn't give him the resources. Chi Jingyuan was lazy and didn't take any roles for a year, so he sent the scripts to the company one by one. Thinking of this, he felt a little angry and said angrily.
"Yeah." Hearing the strong sour smell, Chi Jingyuan glanced at him, then withdrew his gaze and nodded: "Marvel plans to fire Robert Downey Jr. and ask me to play Stark in "Iron Man 4." They said I was born for this role and if I refused Marvel would shelve the series and seal the character forever."
Seeing Chi Jingyuan's serious nonsense, Wu Shixun's mouth twitched a few times in a speechless manner. The sourness was also blocked and disappeared without a trace. He sneered angrily: "Then I'll wait and see what you do. It’s Iron Man 4, Chi Tucker.”
"Easy to say."
Chi Jingyuan nodded without any abnormality, which made Wu Shixun purse his lips again. It could be seen that he had something to do now and didn't bother him anymore. He sat back and read a book by himself.
Chi Jingyuan didn't actually talk nonsense. He was really studying the script now.
The company handed him several scripts a few days ago. Afterwards, he asked Park Jae-hyun to inquire about them and fill in some contents and secrets that were not originally recorded in the materials.
However, SM's company has also done a pretty good job. Basically, the information about the filming to start in the next few months, the lineup and the input into the production to meet the standards are all collected in the information given to him by Lee Seung Hwan.
After a few days of deliberation, Chi Jingyuan passed the scripts that were not suitable. Now there are only two scripts, "Pinocchio" and "Unborn", waiting for his decision.
Chi Jingyuan has some impressions of these two TV series in his mind. According to his previous experience, there should be no danger of failure.
No matter how you choose, you won't end up with the same ratings failure as so-and-so.
Moreover, these two are the crews who have submitted the scripts and invitations to the company and actively invited Chi Jingyuan to star, and they are very sincere.
Among them, the creative team of "Pinocchio" is very strong. The director and writer are Jo Soo-won and Park Hye-ryun respectively. The two collaborated on the annual hit drama "I Hear Your Voice" last year. They must be full of confidence to collaborate again this year. , and because of the great success of the previous one, SBS will definitely invest enough resources and filming costs this time.
It is said that the heroine has been confirmed to be Park Shin Hye. If Ji Kyung Won plays the male lead, it will definitely be a good gimmick for the male and female protagonists of "The Heirs" to collaborate again. The crew must have considered this aspect when inviting him.
"Pinocchio" is expected to be released in November, and is still in early preparation.
It's just that Chi Jingyuan took a rough look at the script of this drama. Generally speaking, it still belongs to the ranks of idol love dramas, but the writer added many other elements to it, which he didn't particularly like.
On the other side, director Kim Won-seok and writer Jung Yoon-jung, the main creative team of "Misborn", are also old friends. They collaborated on the TV series "Mo and TVN" last year, a musical TV series that premiered together. The ratings were very average, and overall, they were "Hear Your Voice" falls far short.
However, the drama "Misei" is a special project for the eighth anniversary of the cable television station tvn. There is absolutely no problem in terms of investment and publicity support. Moreover, the script is adapted from a famous webtoon on the peninsula, which has its own popularity. and gimmicks.
The script that was sent broke away from the traditional romance drama. The overall story is about the white-collar workplace. It tells the story of a rookie in the workplace from confusion to maturity after entering the company, and the many colleagues and superiors with different personalities around him. It can be regarded as a movie. A relatively typical workplace drama.
Chi Jingyuan has never tried this kind of drama before, and is quite interested in this genre.
But he inquired about it and found out that "Misborn" had shot a ten-minute short film last year, and this time the TV series was a follow-up series to the short film. Chi Jingyuan heard that Park Jae-hyun said that the original crew was planning to directly use the male actor from this short film. The protagonist, Im Si Wan, a member of the idol group Empire Sons, did not know what happened to make the crew send an invitation to SM and Chi Jingyuan.
According to information, this drama is scheduled to be released in October. Now the crew has been formed and several main supporting roles have been selected.
If he had to choose one of the two, Chi Jingyuan prefers the later "Misheng". Whether it is the script, setting or even the classification of workplace dramas, it is quite attractive to him.
However, Chi Jingyuan plans to wait until the concert is over to return to the peninsula and take the initiative to communicate with the crew before making a decision.
After making up his mind, Chi Jingyuan put the information away as the feeling of dizziness continued to rise, put on his eye mask and began to take a nap to get through the torturous flight.
The day before yesterday, the Seoul District Court officially accepted the termination complaint submitted by Luhan's attorney and announced that a court hearing would be held on a certain date, but it is still in the mediation stage.
The popularity of the news about this incident on the Peninsula has begun to gradually decline. After all, for fans of the Peninsula, Luhan is only one of the members of EXO's popular circle, and he is far away from the faulty Chi Jingyuan.
Although his departure is sad, it is not unacceptable as time goes by.
In other words, it can only be accepted.
However, there is still a lot of trouble in the Xia Kingdom. All kinds of monsters and snake gods take turns to reveal the truth. The true and false secrets are never stopped on the Internet. What about 'Luhan being interviewed by overseas media and crying about SM's oppression', and what about 'exo team' There is serious internal discord and so on, which really makes those people who eat melons really addicted.
However, Luhan asked someone to issue a clarification statement yesterday, stating that he, his family and friends have never been interviewed by any overseas media. The statements about him in these reports are not true, and he hopes that the media will not reproduce them to mislead.
It can be considered a little responsible.
Although the popularity on the peninsula has subsided a lot, it is still a topic of concern to many fans and passers-by. Some variety shows have also come forward to feature Luhan and EXO, digging out many relatively true and eye-catching secrets.
For example, the three Xia Guo artists who sued to terminate their contracts and ran away, Han Geng, Wu Saike, and Luhan, all invariably entrusted the same legal firm.
No one would believe it if there was no connection.
For another example, the media discovered that Luhan earned less than 800 million won last year, which is equivalent to less than 5 million summer dollars. Compared with the revenue that the EXO group brought to SM, it can be said that it is not worth mentioning.
After seeing the news of being moved back, many Xia Guo fans and media also said that this number was too low: "This is not as good as the income of Xia Guo's third-tier actors from filming two youth idol dramas."
I have my reasons, and he has his reasons.
There was a mixed bag of things for a while, and to a certain extent it was no longer possible to tell whether this matter was right or wrong.
The concert on August 2nd ended successfully at the Provincial Stadium in Hao City. After Chi Jingyuan returned to the peninsula with the team on the morning of the 3rd, he directly contacted the crew of "Misborn" through the company and had already received Chi Jingyuan's response. The long-awaited director Kim Won-seok made an appointment to meet.
