"Jingyuan, your style is really amazing. The ash hair color suits your temperament very well. You look really fashionable. After the MV is released, if I are your female fans, they will probably want to fall asleep after seeing it. No, I'm here to be your illegitimate meal."
cody Jin Youna put down the hair dryer and started to do the final finishing work. While taking care of Chi Jingyuan's temples, she looked in the mirror and exaggeratedly praised.
SM's stylists Cody and EXO have been working together for a long time. Kim Yoona alone has done Chi Kyung-won's hair many times, and they have become quite familiar with each other after chatting a few words. Come more casually.
These well-known Cody in the industry are not just modeling for the EXO group. Within SM alone, they have collaborated with Girls' Generation and Red Velvet. Artists from outside the company, IDOL, will also take on projects. Last time, Kim Yoona was still smiling. I brought Chi Jingyuan a note with contact information that a female idol asked her to pass on as a messenger, which was really straightforward.
Chi Jingyuan just took a look and didn't save it.
"It's not just fans. I feel like even the debuting female idols can't handle it. Are some of the male idols in the industry really superior in appearance or do they just rely on makeup? We can tell at a glance..." A person next to him was giving a speech. Wu Shixun's stylist Cody also intervened after hearing this, but he probably didn't continue talking in the middle of the sentence because he was afraid that the news would have a negative impact. In the end, he seemed to have thought of something, and added: "It's all Who in the industry doesn’t know who… By the way, Sehun’s look is also very handsome this time.”
"Nei, Noona, Kang Sang Mita." Wu Shixun, who had been acting as an invisible man, thanked him stiffly.
"Can't even female idols handle it? It's so exaggerated. Why do I think you could handle it easily, Nu Na?" Just as he finished styling, Chi Jingyuan stood up from the chair and shook his head in the mirror to check. , joked with a smile.
Chi Jingyuan has had this kind of fluffy and broken hair many times, but this is the first time he has tried the smoky gray hair color. He also thinks this new style is quite eye-catching, and it does have a strong sense of fashion when paired with the outfit. Wow, it looks really eye-catching.
"Who said that? If I hadn't known it was impossible, I would have really wanted to be your deputy, Jingyuan..." Sister Cody was very excited when she heard this, and she raised an eyebrow at him greasyly: "Yuan Xi, do you want to Don’t you want to exchange contact information?”
"Haha..." Chi Jingyuan and Sister Cody looked at each other, and both of them laughed. He and Jin Youna nodded to express their thanks. He walked behind Wu Shixun and looked at it for a while. After realizing that his appearance was not very eye-catching, he sat back. We sat on the sofa in the dressing room and started chatting with several other members who had finished their styling.
Not long after, the dressing room door suddenly opened, and Nam Jae-seok, the director of "Call Me Baby" this time, walked in.
Nam Jae Suk is a music video director who often collaborates with SM. He has directed the music videos of many of its groups, and he is considered a member of the company.
He nodded in response to the salutes of the people in front of him. He glanced at Chi Jingyuan and walked over directly. A smile appeared on his face and he approached and said in a familiar voice: "Jingyuan, this MV is really thanks to you. Wow, these cars are really great. You probably won’t find a few sports cars of higher quality than this in the whole of Seoul. They are much better than the cars we contacted and borrowed before.”
Ignoring the curious glances coming from all directions, Nan Zaixi, who was already in his forties, patted Chi Jingyuan on the shoulder vigorously, like a kind and friendly friend: "There are some cars that have been modified." Very handsome and really helped a lot.”
"Ani, I'm overly complimentary. After all, we xo use it ourselves. It's just a trivial matter." Chi Jingyuan narrowed his eyes with a smile and gave a polite salute. He didn't seem to take it to heart at all.
"Haha, I know." Nan Zaixi laughed, patted Chi Jingyuan hard on the back, nodded, looked around and walked out.
He didn't communicate with anyone else, as if he came in specifically to express his gratitude to Chi Jingyuan.
He came and went as quickly as he came, staying for less than two minutes. But after he came in and went out, the dressing room that was a little lively just now fell into silence. Except for the members of EXO, even the people next to him fell into silence. The standing assistant and makeup artist Cody couldn't help but secretly look at Chi Jingyuan, who was already sitting on the sofa. He was thinking about what director Nan Zaixi said just now. After he understood it, he felt unbelievable for a while.
"Those cars parked outside are all your cars, Jingyuan?"
There was a strange silence. Jin Zhongren looked Chi Jingyuan up and down in surprise. He looked a little awkward in his eyes before he asked in surprise. As soon as he spoke, he immediately drew the attention of everyone around him to Chi Jingyuan. Even Cody, who was blow-drying Wu Shixun's hair, couldn't help but turn the blow-drying setting to the minimum.
When they came in, they saw several luxury sports cars parked outside that were worth a lot of money at first sight. Hanging in front were all exaggerated car logos that could only be seen at car shows, magazines and TV. Anyone who knows about it At a glance, you can tell that the prices are all starting at one billion and upwards. Some of them have obviously been specially modified, and their looks are so exaggerated that Kim Jong-in and others couldn't help but run closer to take a closer look.
At this moment, they unexpectedly learned from Nan Zaixi that these cars were lent to the company by their maknae Chi Jingyuan?
No...
"It's not really mine..." Chi Jingyuan and Jin Zhongren looked at each other, shrugged their shoulders, and those around him breathed a sigh of relief when they spoke. However, he seemed to have done it on purpose, and after a pause he added... He said: "It belongs to the family...it should be considered my brother's."
"..."
Several members nearby choked for an instant, looked at each other, and stopped talking. A strange atmosphere began to spread. Only a few assistants and Cody were left looking at Chi Jingyuan with strange eyes, and looked around. It was quiet again, and all you could hear was the noisy sound of the hair dryer.
"Why aren't you surprised at all? I feel like you already knew this?" Seeing Wu Shixun finishing his styling, he walked over naturally and stretched out his hand to signal Chi Jingyuan to move to the left to make room. After the other party did so, he got up Sitting on the sofa looking normal, Kim Jongin looked at him strangely and asked.
"What's the point? I've been used to it for a long time. We've been living together for almost three years. Don't you understand him yet? Forget it if people outside don't know. We ourselves don't understand that 'royal family' is really not just a random talk."
Wu Shixun curled his lips and slumped lazily on the sofa, looking like a man who had experienced the world. He glanced at Chi Jingyuan with disdain and said: "Don't be so surprised in front of him, don't look at this bitch's face. There is no expression on my face, I can’t tell how happy I am in my heart, and I’m still secretly calling you pabos, you have never seen the world.”
Chi Jingyuan turned to look at Wu Shixun in surprise, wondering how this idiot suddenly became so much smarter.
"And isn't his Mercedes among the cars parked outside? Didn't you see it when you came in?" Wu Shixun seemed to be imitating the way Chi Jingyuan looked at him in the past, and looked at him with the same eyes. After looking at the brothers next to them, Jin Junmyeon, Park Chanyeol and others felt angry for a while when they looked at the arrogance and arrogance of the brothers next to them, as if they were seizing the IQ high ground.
"... Miahnai, pretend I didn't say anything." Seeing the brothers looking at him with unkind eyes, Wu Shixun, the maknae, quickly raised his hands to apologize and surrender. Chi Jingyuan almost burst out laughing at the slanderous look. come out.
However, his gags also made the members look a lot more natural, and what he said made sense. After all, after living together for so long, they all knew who Chi Jingyuan was and what kind of family he probably belonged to. 13 years That call to call the representative director of SBS was really unbelievable. There is actually nothing surprising about the few luxurious sports cars now.
But those Cody who witnessed what happened still had ups and downs in their hearts, as if they had heard some secret, and their eyes were always looking this way inadvertently.
In a somewhat weird atmosphere, the styling was finally completed. After all the members changed their clothes, the MV shooting officially started.
This time the MV for "Call Me Baby" doesn't have any plot. It just involves changing into a few different costumes and dancing in front of the set set up in the parking lot. Overall, it's not much different from the ordinary dance version of the MV. At the same time This time I still used a pseudo one-shot shooting technique to increase the texture and smoothness of the MV.
In fact, to be honest, the design of the MV for the first title song "Call Me Baby" is actually a bit average, and it seems a little unworthy of the huge trailer video. But the advantage is that the song has a nice melody and the choreography is cool. At the same time, Chi Jingyuan is also very satisfied with the look of this comeback. In addition to himself being very eye-catching, all the members' makeup is also above the level. The company and stylists It is indeed a matter of effort.
Coupled with the few supercars in the background, it adds a lot of color to the ordinary MV.
Because there is no plot and only dance, the MV shooting progressed very quickly. It took less than three days to complete the shooting with overtime work at night. Chi Jingyuan and the others started shooting the return cover and personal pictorial non-stop.
The official comeback will be in less than a month. In addition to perfect preparations, there are also several title songs for other singles that need to be practiced. Time is really tight.
By the way, Park Chanyeol and the others are also filming "My Neighbor Is Exo", and they probably have to work late at night in the past two months.
While EXO was busy shooting music videos and pictorials, SM officially released the DVD of XO's first world tour in 2014 on January 29.
This tour DVD contains 3 high-definition DVDs and six pictorial albums, four of which are individual and two group, but there are no member photos.
The configuration can only be said to be average, the number of small cards is too small, and there are no postcards, support fans, support sticks and other supporting items, so the overall price is not high. At the same time, it received orders from many fans as soon as it was released, and it immediately reached the top. Top of the DVD sales list.
It can only be said that fans have been waiting for EXO for a long time, and their wallets are already ready. They even have DVDs to quench their thirst.
"You turned down the invitation to "Idol Games"?"
On February 4th, EXO was shooting a comeback pictorial in the studio. At this time, it was Kim Jong-in's turn to take a personal photo shoot. A group of other members were wrapped in clothes and sitting on the stools nearby, drinking drinks and chatting quietly. Xiu glanced ahead and asked Chi Jingyuan.
"Ah Ni, I didn't push it. I don't have the ability to do it. The company pushed it because it didn't have time..." Chi Jingyuan quickly shook his head to show his innocence.
Today is the recording day for the Spring Festival special episode of MBC's "Idol Games", but none of exo's regulars in the past went this time. The company considered the invitation sent by the program team a few days ago and asked the members for their opinions. I declined politely.
"Didn't the company ask for your opinion?" Wu Shixun, who was standing next to him, looked over with a speechless expression: "When you said you didn't want to go, I was sitting next to you and heard it with my own ears."
"..." Seeing that he couldn't pretend anymore, Chi Jingyuan simply didn't bother to act, and spread his hands: "The recording of the show lasted one day. The temperature has been so low these two days and I don't know how cold the venue is. Recently, we have been Very busy, and..."
He seemed to want to say something else, but hesitated for a moment but did not finish. After thinking about it, he added: "But the production team of that show was really enthusiastic, and I was a little embarrassed about it. I will do it next time." Let’s go again if we get a chance…”
"As long as you go and sign up for the archery event, it will definitely be a hot topic. It will greatly promote both the ratings and the topic. If I were the program team, I would also support you." Wu Shixun snorted disdainfully. , then remembered something and looked at Kim Min-seok who had been listening next to him: "Didn't you say that a new football event was added? Are you going to sign up for it, Brother Min-seok? Why didn't you go later?"
"If you don't go, why should I go alone..." Jin Minxi shook his head, feeling a little disappointed.
"You represent our exo, you are the eldest brother, wuli hiong!" Chi Jingyuan chuckled and patted his shoulder.
"Forget it, let's do it next time." He sighed and waved his hands repeatedly.
It's really a pity to see Jin Minxi's appearance. He usually likes playing football. Before Luhan left, the two of them often took time to play football. Now that he is alone, he has not changed his original intention.
Chi Jingyuan found it very interesting. Why does this guy want to participate in the "Idol Games" so much? He doesn't really want to play football, right?
But he didn't pay much attention to it. A few people just sat on the chairs and watched Kim Jong-in posing in various pretentious poses in front of the background, drinking tea and chatting comfortably.
While talking, Chi Jingyuan remembered something for some reason. He took out his mobile phone from his pocket, found Zhou Ziyu's name in his address book, and proactively sent a message: "Is your talent show staff confirmed? Have you been selected?"
Speaking of which, Zhou Ziyu told him about this matter last month and there has been no follow-up. Some time ago, the other party occasionally sent some messages. In the past two days, he felt that there was suddenly no sound. I don’t know what happened. Condition.
Although Chi Jingyuan was very busy every day during this period, he was actually a little concerned about this matter. Then he suddenly remembered it and simply sent a message to ask.
"Jingyuan, get ready, you will be here soon."
Before waiting for a reply, the assistant came over and reminded him loudly. Chi Jingyuan quickly responded and put the phone in his bag, got up and followed the assistant to change clothes nearby.
By the time Chi Jingyuan finished his work, it was already dinner time, but it was definitely impossible to disperse and go to dinner in the middle of filming. Everyone naturally entered an overtime state and could only wait until it was completely over before filling their stomachs.
After changing people to shoot, Chi Jingyuan put on his clothes and walked down. He took a few sips of the water handed to him by his assistant, then sat on a chair and took out his phone to look at it. He found that Zhou Ziyu had replied an hour ago.
There was only two words in the reply: "Not yet."
There was no other expression in these two short words. What was revealed in them was far from the liveliness of the past, and seemed to be a little decadent.
Chi Jingyuan knew what was going on at the first glance. He glanced at Wu Shixun who had just started filming. After thinking about it, he stood up and told the members, "I'm going to the bathroom." Then he left the scene and looked towards the side. He walked to the bathroom and dialed Zhou Ziyu's phone number as he walked.
It took two calls before I was connected. "Hello." came out from the phone. It sounded a bit low and lifeless.
There was some background noise as she spoke, which seemed to be the cell phone being connected in the practice room, but the noise was obviously getting quieter. It seemed that Zhou Ziyu came out of the room and walked to the corridor alone.
"Didn't choose?" Chi Jingyuan didn't make any detours and spoke in a natural voice.
Chi Jingyuan was still a little unsure just now, but Chi Jingyuan immediately became convinced after the call was connected and he heard the tone of the other party.
Judging from Zhou Ziyu's character, who usually has to fight with him when he is praised by his dance or vocal teacher, this time the selection for the survival talent show must have been a bad start.
"Well..." Zhou Ziyu responded dully on the phone, which sounded a little pitiful, but for some reason Chi Jingyuan felt inexplicably want to laugh after hearing it.
But he still tried to hold it back. The girl was probably feeling very sad now. If she really laughed out loud, she would definitely be really angry.
"What's going on? Tell me." Chi Jingyuan paused for a few seconds and then asked after listening to the other person's breathing.
"..." It seemed a little difficult to say, Zhou Ziyu paused for a long time, and then said in a low voice: "The trainee director has officially announced the news a few days ago, and the company is still conducting interviews among the trainees. The first round of selection, but... I was not selected..."
After a moment of silence, she added: "Now I heard that more than a dozen trainees have confirmed their participation. I don't know how many people will be selected in total... but I feel that the company doesn't seem to think highly of me."
Her voice was obviously a little disappointed and aggrieved, and it was no longer as lively as it was some time ago.
'Don't you make great progress in strength every day, and the teacher is happy to praise you? Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but complain in his heart, but he still suppressed the impulse in his heart, thought for a moment, and asked: "Have you finished selecting the people, or will there be more members later?"
"I don't know... I heard that there should be a few more people added." Zhou Ziyu was also a little unsure.
Also, this kind of thing is the company's decision and will not be communicated to young trainees like them. The news she learned was probably passed on to each other by the trainees who didn't know where they found it.
"That's it..."
Feeling that the temperature in the bathroom was a bit low, Chi Jingyuan tightened the down jacket he was wrapped in. He raised his eyes and thought for a few seconds. After recalling tomorrow's itinerary, he said "Hmm" and proactively asked, "Are you free tomorrow night?" ?”
