"I……"
Hearing this question, Pei Zhuhyun blinked.
In fact, she really wanted to go. She originally wanted to go when EXO was on tour last year, but the tickets for the XO concert were really hard to get. The window was sold out in less than half a second after it opened.
She didn't get any tickets for the first show or the extra show. At that time, her relationship with Chi Jingyuan wasn't as close as it is now and she was too embarrassed to talk about it. She didn't make her debut either, so she could only give up with regret.
There will be no problem with this second tour this year, and the premiere performance on the 13th is still a very memorable day for Chi Jingyuan, and it is also very interesting to her.
Because the reason she wanted to go there was actually not the concert.
But now that she has made her debut, the two of them were still co-hosting "Music Bank" and were criticized by many viewers. At the same time, they are still in the stage of being angry and anti by Aili. If they are photographed or seen by fans, it will be easy. Cause misunderstanding, and then arouse fans' greed and desire to attack.
And even if I want to go, I will definitely go with the members of red velvet. This topic was brought up when the group was chatting before. Bae Zhuhyun could see that several members were obviously very interested, especially Jin Yelin, the lively sister born in 1999. She has a high enthusiasm for handsome guys, excitement, and even participating in social circles. .
If someone is seen alone, it's really hard to get rid of not only the love rumors, but also the news of discord within the company.
"Your performance is about to start and the tickets have been sold out for a long time. Even if the time is so close, even internal tickets should have been distributed..." Pei Zhuxuan looked expectant, but he hesitated and glanced at him with raised eyes.
She is right. A popular concert company like EXO will reserve a lot of internal tickets for staff and members to allocate themselves. However, as the start is approaching, if they still have not been sent out, the company will make arrangements for these. , will not allow many gaps in those high-quality positions.
"If others buy it, it will definitely be gone. If you guys..."
Chi Jingyuan blinked when he heard this, always feeling as if he had been slighted. He pursed his lips slightly at Pei Zhuxuan to show off, and then suddenly laughed:
"nor."
Without looking at the other person's expression or saying anything more, he quickened his pace a little and waved his hand casually: "Let's go, it's time to get off work."
"..."
Hearing this, Pei Zhuxuan couldn't help but curl her lips, snorted and glanced at Chi Jingyuan's back, chuckled and followed quickly.
…
As expected, after the second episode of "Music Bank" was broadcast, Ally's slightly weaker attack on Bae Joo Hyun immediately ignited again, and the heat instantly overshadowed yesterday's victory and fight incident. After that, the number of ugly pictures of Bae Joo Hyun exceeded that of Choi Seung Hyun’s emoticons, making her the TOP1 fan-favorite picture today.
They really got angry when they saw this dead aunt being hosted by their own OP with a smile on TV, and making physical contact and ambiguous glances from time to time. They really wanted to rush up and tear this woman's mouth to pieces.
It can only be said that up until now, she has only been scolding her online without any offline anti-unti activities. Bae Zhuhyun's luck is actually quite good.
But correspondingly, in addition to fans of the two companies, fans of other groups and ordinary viewers are becoming more and more fond of this pair. Where did the two of them go today, with different styles but inexplicably similar hairstyles? It highlights a sense of being on the right track and is so eye-catching that people don’t want to change channels. Some people even feel a little impatient when they see those confusing stages when watching the live broadcast. They wish that these boring stages can be passed quickly and the MC can come on stage as soon as possible. on the link.
There are also more and more positive reviews on some forums, especially on the official account of "Music Bank".
It's not about praising the stage, but most of them are praising the hosting style and excellent appearance of this pair of regular MCs. Especially the tacit understanding and ambiguity during the combination is really sweet.
After just two episodes of the show, there were already fans of the pair of MCs on the Internet. They were given CP names just like in "We Got Married" and they immediately started fighting. They had several nicknames such as CP within the agency. By clicking on some of these CP fans' posts, you can see screenshots of Ji Kyung-won and Bae Joo-hyun looking at each other and interacting with each other, making people think that "Music Bank" is some kind of love variety show. However, there are still many people who like this pair of CPs and this tone very much, and there have been several hot posts in a short period of time.
Although I still can't beat the black pictures that fill the screen, compared to last week, at least there are a lot of splashes that I can resist a little bit.
It can only be said that people in the Peninsula really like love and CP.
Especially watching others engage in CP.
The ratings also prove this. During the meeting just now, PD Han Jingzhe announced happily that the average ratings of this episode reached 1.7%. At the same time, the peak ratings were still hosted by two MCs in addition to EXO's stage. fragment.
Compared with the average ratings that have been stable at around 0.7% for more than a year, the effect brought by the new MC is immediate.
If the skyrocketing ratings of the first episode were due to the attention brought by EXO's return and the debut of the new MC, then it is obvious that the new viewers and ratings brought by this episode have stabilized, and are obviously rising steadily.
After reading the statistics and evaluation, Han Kyung-cheol praised Ji Kyung-won and Bae Joo-hyun very much during the meeting. The attitude of the entire program team was so enthusiastic and kind. Bae Joo-hyun was so complimentary that he saluted and thanked them repeatedly, with a shy and embarrassed look on his face, and smiled. The teeth are all exposed.
If the ratings of "Music Bank" can continue to rise, it is estimated that the reputation and treatment of these two MCs at KBS will be much better, and various resources may be slightly tilted at some point.
Chi Jingyuan didn't care, but it was a very important thing for Bae Zhuhyun, who was still a newcomer, and it would be of great help to her future activities.
EXO won the first place, and Bigbang was ridiculed by Ally and some passerby fans on the Internet for not coming today. In the collision between the two major boy groups, they were somewhat at a disadvantage.
Just one loss cannot change BigBang's strong music performance. Nearly ten days after the song was released, the two songs from the album "M" still occupy the top two on the melon chart. The top position of "Loser" is very stable and has never been lowered. This is also In the face of headwinds, .P talked about comfort and the basis for quarreling.
.P's tone has gradually changed and his words have become unified very soon. Various rumors and posts have begun to belittle the gold content of current singing programs, saying that the gold content of this kind of thing is no longer what it used to be, and it is not as good as before. The sound source is important.
Moreover, BigBang has been a senior for so many years, and they no longer care about whether they are one or not. A few years ago, some of us were still in junior high school when we were one. Now, performing on singing shows is all to give back to the fans. That’s it. This is proven by the fact that you and we, Oppa, have not arranged a few singing stages when we return to the company this time.
"And we, the Oppas, are so busy doing world tours to make money. I heard that G-Dragon Oppas are planning to buy a house. How can they be like some groups that don't even know the number of members and just watch singing shows every day? Now that we have shown our faces, we should leave these things to the younger generations to fight for. We don’t care anymore. To put it bluntly, idol groups still have to make money.”
Words like this quickly became popular in .P, just like the crazy call for sisters to vote together a few days ago to get the first person who won the first place, and it was not them.
If you can't compare with appearance, you should compare with style; if you can't compare with sales, compare with sound source; if you cannot compare with personality, compare with seniority and revenue.
Anyway, there is one thing that can win you. Even if I can't win everything else, I can still say that my company is a niche, and what wins is style.
It can only be said that some fans really never go against the grain.
But what they said is actually reasonable. The ultimate goal of idol groups is to make money. No matter what sales, music sources, songs, variety shows, etc., the ultimate goal is this. So seeing that they have an advantage, SM immediately posted it on SNS the next day. It was announced that EXO will be absent from the rest of this week and most of the singing activities next week, focusing on the preparation of the new album and the upcoming concert.
It's exactly the same as last month, but fans also expressed their understanding. Ellie also knows that Obamas are very busy, and the second concert tour is coming soon.
After understanding, he and P continued to fight passionately.
…
"Isn't the hair color in our MV this time a bit... bright?"
After giving up today's singing competition, EXO was called by their manager early on Saturday morning and went directly to the studio where the background had been set up. After lining up and styling, they were ready to start today's MV shooting.
What I was shooting this time was the MV for the title song "boy with love" from the last single album, "L".
"Boy with Love", as the final ending of the four-volume single album, is highly valued by SM. Both the company and the members have placed high expectations on it, even more than the first release "Call Me Baby" which swept the entire month. Be optimistic.
Because although this song is a dance song, its style is very novel, the choreography is unique, and the catchy chorus is really catchy and very addictive. At the same time, the lyrics can be understood as a confession and confession to the fans. No matter which aspect, according to their understanding of the music industry, it fully meets the standards of a hit song.
Moreover, the performance was performed by EXO, who are now very popular and have returned to the top. In addition, the huge popularity generated by competing with Big Bang made the company can't help but slightly raise their expectations. At the same time, they also raised their expectations for all aspects of the production of this song. Very serious.
Speaking of which, 'boy with love' is not actually the official name of this song. It is just the English name. The official song title in Korean and Chinese should be called "Poetry of Bits and Pieces".
Or, more romantically, it could be called "Poems in Praise of Small Things."
Chi Jingyuan feels that this name sounds much better than 'boy with love', 'boy with love', 'boy with love', but it sounds uncomfortable.
Because I have been busy with various things and preparations before, I have not taken time to shoot the MV until now. According to the time, it is already a bit tight, and I have to go to the field to rehearse the concert on the 11th, so these two days The shooting was probably going to be day and night again, and at this time, the nine members who had just finished styling were standing in the studio, looking at each other's clothes and styles before it officially started.
"The color is definitely a little brighter."
Jin Junmyeon looked at the various hair colors of the members around him, combined with their white and pink clothing. He felt like he was standing here as if he were in a garden, bright and eye-catching.
After doing the styling, they discovered that the hair color of many members this time had changed a lot. Although there were some special hair colors in the previous comebacks, they were only a few. But now, at a glance, except for a few A few have darker hair colors of black and brown, but most of the others are bright and gorgeous, extremely eye-catching.
"I think it's quite handsome." Park Chanyeol buried his head and tugged at his pure white hair, his tone was very satisfied, but he added at the end: "But compared to white, I actually want to try the prospect." The smoky gray color of the source should have a pretty good effect. "
He has been coveting Chi Jingyuan's cigarette ash look for a long time, from the time when the "Call Me Baby" MV was filming until now.
Wu Shixun also shook the bangs on his forehead, glanced around and nodded: "This time's look is indeed quite distinctive, and it feels okay."
He is light gray.
Although the color is eye-catching, the overall look is quite pleasing to the eye. Idols themselves want to try a variety of different styles and hair colors. The style will definitely be different every time they come back. Maybe they will come up with a unique style and become a fan. The focus of discussion, the popularity of the crazy scenes immediately caught up.
Chi Jingyuan's ash-grey hair color caused such a big reaction among the fan base before. Everyone saw how many fans he attracted and climbed up the walls. Although he didn't say it, he was very envious in his heart. He might be thinking what if it were him. If you do, you will definitely not lose too much, and your popularity will also increase a lot.
"Axi...I think your looks are pretty good, but why do I have pink hair?"
But others were fine, but Baekhyun frowned, looking left and right at a mirror not far away, complaining with some dissatisfaction: "This color looks so weird, how did Cody design it?" Such a color, am I suitable for this color?”
Among the nine people in the entire team, two people stood out the most. One was the pink-haired Byun Baekhyun, and the other was...
"Because this MV does not have a plot or special effects, in order to highlight the style and characteristics of the entire song, the colors of the clothing and distribution need to be brighter and more eye-catching. With specialized post-production rendering, the overall effect will look like a The warm and comfortable feeling is pleasing to the eye, and it is in line with some of the meanings of "Poetry of Bits and Pieces"."
As one of the producers who was fully involved in the production and MV design of this song, Chi Jingyuan stood up and briefly explained: "The company is still very professional in styling. Some of the designed shots require background and our hair." Only when the color combination creates a color foreshadowing effect will the appearance look better. Many colors were actually discussed in meetings, and not everyone is like this. For example, Minseok's hair color specifically uses primary colors. Used to create a contrast in tone while making it less boring for the viewer.”
At the end, Chi Jingyuan also smiled bitterly, lowered his head and brushed the bangs on his forehead twice, and said helplessly to Bian Baixian: "And brother, you are not alone. I have this hair color." ...Actually, I think it’s quite average and not very suitable.”
Turning the perspective, Chi Jingyuan's half-length hair was textured and layered. After processing, it looked fluffy and stylish. The sideburns on both sides stopped abruptly at the cochlea. Fragmented bangs covered his forehead and were arranged in random patterns. The skin underneath varies.
It's completely different from the boyish look of "Love Me Right" this time. This time, his style in "Poetry of Bits" is completely different. It was actually the same as yesterday's "Music Bank" host because of Bae Joo Hyun's words. The shape of the bangs is somewhat similar, but more refined.
The most eye-catching thing is the hair color. The dyed blue hair is as eye-catching as the sky and sea water. Compared with the rich dark blue color, it is a little lighter, fresh but profound, and looks completely different. Temperament and feeling arise spontaneously.
However, Chi Jingyuan seemed a little dissatisfied with the hair color. He also frowned and raised his eyebrows a few times, curling his lips slightly.
He felt that the look of his comeback this time was quite ordinary. The blue color was too conspicuous and a bit exaggerated. If the lighting was suitable, it would be okay, but if the lighting was not good, it would look a bit dim.
At the same time, the bangs should not be messed up. Cody said that this style should either use the messy overlay bangs like now, or make them look like commas, otherwise it will look very awkward.
Compared with the smoky gray look that he was very satisfied with during the "Call Me Baby" period, Chi Jingyuan felt that the blue this time looked a lot different, and this color can only be used on stage or in MVs. Zhong Neng might have a good effect after using it for a while, but in real life he really doesn't want to get infected, which is so strange.
It was really troublesome to do at the same time. Even dyeing a one-time color took Cody a long time.
"Isn't it suitable? I think it's okay! For Baekhyun, a lighter skin and makeup would look good. For Jingyuan, it looks really handsome and feels good with your appearance."
Listening to the complaints of the two people, Jin Junmian next to him observed carefully for a few times before he finished speaking. Then he sighed slightly dissatisfied: "If you are really dissatisfied, we can exchange, I would rather dye you." Their hair is at least eye-catching."
Like Kim Min-seok, he has a primary color that is close to black. Among all the colors, it is not ugly, but just a bit ordinary.
And being an idol is not afraid of weird shapes or exaggerated colors.
Idol is afraid of being ordinary.
After everyone complained about their looks for a while, the staff got ready and started the official shooting.
Except for EXO's 2013 album "XOXO", which had the title song "Wolf and Beauty" and specially invited the heroine to do special effects and filmed a plot version of the MV like a TV series, they have never produced any other returning title songs. For such a big action, I usually just dance in a few scenes and then edit everything, and at most add some special effects and rendering to make the picture look better.
The reason why I no longer make any plot version may be because I spent so much effort in the beginning, but the response was not as good as expected except from fans, so I am too lazy to do these things anymore.
This time "Boy with Love" also has no plot, and is somewhat similar to "Love Me Right". In addition to dancing in studios with different scenes, there are some close-up shots to show the charm of each member.
"It feels a little more ordinary..."
It was just that something went wrong as soon as the shooting started. After the director PD shouted "stuck", the people with EXO looked at the pictures captured on the monitor and frowned slightly.
At the beginning of the MV and choreography, the nine people have their backs to the camera. After making a few waves, they turn around and start walking. When they are halfway turning, in the MV, Chi Jingyuan, who is standing in the C position, is given a super close-up view of his face. close up.
I only shot it a few times, and the effect is handsome enough. However, PD always felt that it was missing a bit of flavor.
"The choreography of this song and the style of the MV are meant to be flirtatious. To put it bluntly, it is meant to be sultry. You must not be serious. I hope you will smile so brightly."
After watching it for a while, the PD pointed out the problem after thinking about it: "The introduction of the opening will give people the first impression, so it is very important. Just smiling will have a too ordinary effect... This close-up of the face when turning around, Yuan you Try adding a little expression or movement, like blinking or raising an eyebrow, it should be better if it's more vivid."
"Um, let me give it a try, PDnim."
Chi Jingyuan listened carefully to the PD's instructions. He glanced at the VJ with a camera next to him who was filming the production behind-the-scenes at them, and nodded to express that there was no problem.
Isn't it just to tease fans? It's a trivial matter for idols.
This is what they do, professional skills.
"Here, try again."
Chi Jingyuan briefly considered what to do, and soon everyone returned to their seats. After getting ready, under the command of the PD, the music accompaniment started playing.
"wooo~~~woo~~woo~~woo~~woo~~"
As the prelude sounded and they followed the rhythm for several consecutive beats, all the members half-turned around to face the camera while stuck to the beat. At this time, the VJ walked in quickly while holding the camera steadily, and the camera focused on the C position. A close-up of Chi Jingyuan's face began.
At this time, Chi Jingyuan no longer had the same 'sunny and ordinary' smile as before. He half turned around, the bangs on his forehead swayed slightly, and his delicate eyes looked directly at the camera with a little smile. , at the same time, his lips were slightly opened, and his tongue clicked on the left corner of his mouth and passed quickly, with a slight flash like a sudden glance.
Then the corners of his mouth turned up, and he turned back quickly with a slight smile, making the shot blank and unfinished.
At this time, the PD in front of the monitor did not stop as before, but waved his hand in surprise and shouted excitedly:
"Nice, this is how it feels!"
