After they separated from Zhou Ziyu and the others, Chi Jingyuan sent a message to Park Jae-hyun. Park Jae-hyun arrived not long after, and then the two of them went to have a meal together and arrived at the commercial shooting location in Samseongdong at the agreed time.
The commercial was shot at three or four in the morning. After forcing himself to salute and thank the staff and say goodbye, he returned to the dormitory without stopping, barely washed up perfunctorily, then lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
At dawn the next morning, they were dragged up again by their manager.
How handsome Chi Jingyuan looked when he casually pushed back the announcement, but how embarrassed he looked when he was following behind Li Chenghuan with sleepy eyes.
After finishing the work, I slept for less than 3 hours. Apart from lazing around in the nanny's car, I was busy with things all day long and had no time to rest. I had to stay up until tonight.
However, although he was very tired, Chi Jingyuan had already gotten used to it, which meant that he felt a little uncomfortable when he first got up. It would be much better when the situation passed.
After getting up, the members went directly to SBS to prepare for the singing stage of "The Show"'s "December Miracle".
"The Show" was originally meant to be played in the evening, but EXO had a concert tonight and couldn't come, so we had to rush over early in the morning to record it in advance.
This time is Chi Jingyuan's first and only "Miracle in December" singing stage, which is actually quite memorable, but it's a pity that it was recorded and not broadcast live.
However, because the recording and broadcasting had been arranged before, the company announced the news in advance. During the recording stage, there were all EXO fans below. They came much earlier than Chi Jingyuan and the others, and they have been guarding here.
The recording went very smoothly, and it only took three recordings in total to get it done.
Chi Jingyuan's singing skills are improving day by day, even if the mic is turned on at the scene, it is no problem. "Miracle in December", a high-quality ballad, becomes even more touching after the addition of Chi Jingyuan, the lead singer Line
, I heard that the planet fans below were a little intoxicated by it.
After thanking the fans for coming so early, EXO quickly got into the nanny car and arrived at KINTEX in Yishan, which is also the venue for this time's "SMtown week".
This family concert is on its fourth day, and today it’s EXO and FX’s turn.
Chi Jingyuan and the others have been practicing for this concert whenever they have free time these days, and it can be said that they are quite well prepared.
By the time EXO arrived backstage, FX had already arrived. They had been rehearsing for a while and were currently taking a break.
"Jingyuan!"
As soon as she saw EXO walking into the lounge, Cui Shirley took a quick look and immediately jumped up when she saw Chi Jingyuan behind her, smiling and waving to him.
There were many people in the lounge at this time, including agents and assistants from FX and EXO, Cody and other staff.
With her being so enthusiastic, it's easy for some bad rumors to arise.
However, Cui Xueli didn't seem to care about this at all, and took the initiative to say hello in front of so many people.
Chi Jingyuan also smiled and waved in response, and the agents on both sides pretended not to see it.
FX's agent has spoken out against Cui Shirley many times, but she has this kind of personality. He either ignores her or talks back to her, and there is nothing she can do if she refuses to change despite repeated admonitions.
Li Chenghuan, on the other hand, never treats Chi Jingyuan with the same attitude as ordinary members, and the difference in treatment is very obvious.
"Yeah, you've been in Xia Kingdom some time ago, so you didn't participate in any of this collaboration stage. I've been thinking about collaborating with you once."
After Chi Jingyuan sat down, Cui Xueli came over and said with some regret.
"I was too busy at the time and there was nothing I could do. I'll give it a chance next time." Chi Jingyuan reassured, and the two of them didn't talk much. EXO soon went out for rehearsals under the guidance of their manager.
After two smooth rehearsals, the members went backstage to do some styling, and then grabbed something to eat until the concert officially started at 8 p.m.
The box office of this new concert brand was very good. It was held for nine days in total and the tickets were basically sold out during the pre-sale. The total number of people mobilized by the company reached more than 100,000, and the audience basically exceeded 10,000 every day.
.
Today's concert was even more packed. Immediately after the official opening, there was an earth-shattering cheer. Almost everyone in the audience confused the name of 'EXO', making it look like they were having a private concert.
Recently, EXO's popularity is much higher than that of FX, especially in terms of fan support. Most of the boy bands are female fans, which inherently has a great advantage, and today a lot of fans are directed at them.
.
However, FX is also very popular, and there are also many fans of the SM family. They were not left out much, and the cheers were still loud during the performance.
After all, it is a family concert, and overall the atmosphere is very good, and the normal audience is always excited.
There are some differences from the usual concerts. This time SMtown Week is more active in the interaction between idols and the audience. In addition to many cooperation stages, a lot of interactive sessions with fans have been added.
After more than an hour, the concert entered its final stage. All members of EXO and FX appeared on stage together, holding big bags containing various small gifts, and threw gifts on the stage towards the fans below.
Chi Jingyuan held the bag and walked slowly towards the left side of the stage. While smiling and waving to the fans, he took out small gifts from the bag and threw them at them from time to time.
They are not very valuable items, but are some commemorative key rings, postcards and small cards, many of which are signed by the members. For fans, getting them is like a treasure.
Seeing Chi Jingyuan walking towards her, the nearby fans immediately went crazy and screamed loudly at her. Some even started crying immediately, unable to control themselves with excitement.
"Kangsangmita..."
"Don't grab..."
"Thank you guys...
Chi Jingyuan kept saying words of thanks while handing out gifts. Sometimes he would squat down and give a high-five to a few fans who were close to him, which made them very excited.
Seeing Chi Jingyuan here, Cui Xueli also came over with this bag and stood nearby to interact with fans.
And not long after, Zheng Xiujing also came closer. She had finished handing out the gifts. She was standing there with an empty bag, smiling and waving below, glancing at Chi Jingyuan next to her from the corner of her eye from time to time.
She is not as self-centered as Shirley. She always had the opportunity to talk to Chi Jingyuan backstage, but now she couldn't help but get close to her on the stage.
But when people like this are on stage, they certainly can’t say anything. The most they can do is smile at each other and show family love.
After the gift distribution was completed, today's concert ended here. It was already past ten o'clock. Everyone simply repaired and went back to their homes to take time to rest. There will be another one exactly the same tomorrow.
After a tiring day, Chi Jingyuan finally touched the bed again, lay down on it and immediately fell into sleep.
The concert on the second day started two hours earlier, at six o'clock, and the process was basically the same as yesterday.
Although we had already performed once yesterday, as an idol, we must use our fullest enthusiasm to bring joy to our fans. All the members performed as if it was their first concert, and everyone was very involved.
The concert ended at 8 o'clock. All the members of EXO and fx, together with their managers and assistants, and the concert staff found a nearby barbecue restaurant and had a meal together to celebrate for two days.
of complete success.
A group of people who hadn't eaten much in two days had a great meal and drank a lot. After that, they didn't have time to talk much. They were too busy with their schedules at the end of the year these days, so they said goodbye to each other and returned to the dormitory.
…………
"Yuan Xi, don't stand there, stand in the middle."
The PD in charge of the scene directed everyone's position. After looking around, he focused on Chi Jingyuan.
Today is the 26th. EXO, who just finished their concert schedule yesterday, rushed to the SBS TV station today to record the special song "You are a miracle" for this Gayo Daejeon.
This song is the biggest stunt of this year's 2013 SBS Gayo Daejeon. In addition to the VCR shot by Son Na Eun and others, in order to attract the audience's attention, the station also directly invited 34 groups, a total of 125 idols and singers to participate in this song recording
.
These include many of the most popular and discussed groups in the past two years, such as Girls' Generation, Bigbang, EXO, IU, 2PM, etc., all of them participated.
This should be regarded as the biggest social project in the music industry in recent years. SBS promised to donate all the proceeds from the song, directly standing in an invincible position.
At this time, the large recording studio of SBS was already full of people. Dozens of idols stood in several rows, arranging their positions under the command of the PD.
Of course, more than a hundred people will not come all at once. Today is the recording of the most popular group. In addition to a few popular groups, such as Park Jin Young, missa, kara, blue, girlsday, fx, etc. are also present.
Each stood in his own place at the back.
And some less popular idols showed up during the later filming, which proved that they also participated.
EXO is divided into two teams. Team K is on the far right of the first row, and Team M is in the middle of the second row. They are both in one of the most conspicuous positions. They are still half-new, how can they stand in such a large-scale project?
This kind of place is also a reflection of their current popularity and status.
It’s just that PD seems to be a little dissatisfied with the location of Chi Jingyuan Station.
"Well, PDnim, it's good for me and the members to stand together..."
Chi Jingyuan stood at the position of Team K, his body hidden behind Wu Shixun. After hearing the PD's words, he hesitated, raised his hand and said.
"Ani, all the members of XO are here, so it's nothing special for you to stand in the middle. It's such a waste."
"You are now a member of XO and the actor of Jin Tan. You are very popular both in terms of gimmicks and topics. This kind of popularity cannot be let go just like this."
The PD frowned and waved his hand, pointing to the middle position in the first row and giving orders: "Yuan xi will stand here, yes, right here, next to IU xi, that's fine."
"Gui, I know."
Chi Jingyuan was a little helpless, looked back at the members, and followed the PD's guidance to the middle of the first row of the entire team.
On his left is IU, on his right are two members of 2PM, and on the right are four members of Girls’ Generation.
This time, SNSD did not come to the recording, but Sunny, Huang Miying, Kwon Yuri and Seohyun came.
"Senior, Aniha Saiyo."
After Chi Jingyuan stood still, he softly greeted IU next to him.
All the artists participating in the recording have naturally finished their styling. At this time, IU has short brown curly hair and a headphone on her head. Her face looks quite dazzling with suitable makeup.
"Why are you so polite, Yuan Xi?"
IU glanced at him angrily, her tone sounded very familiar, as if she was talking to an old friend.
But in fact, the two of them had met a few times before and had not spoken much, let alone being familiar with each other.
"Haha..." The other party was so enthusiastic that Chi Jingyuan did not show a cold face. He smiled in agreement and exchanged a few simple greetings in a low voice.
Not far away, the four SNSD sisters also saw Chi Jingyuan. With so many people there, they didn't say anything. They both smiled at each other and said hello.
After Chi Jingyuan, PD adjusted for a while.
Although it is not stated explicitly, the most popular ones are basically in the front row, and the less popular ones are in the back row, and everyone knows it.
After everything was ready, everyone started the official recording.
As the two people standing in the middle, Chi Jingyuan and IU naturally have some interaction when singing. When they sing their parts, they will look at each other and clap softly.
Both of them are experienced artists. Although they were not familiar with each other before, they can easily interact with each other at this level. When they look at each other and smile, they look very natural. The effect makes PD very satisfied.
Actually, it's not right to say it's a recording, because the audio has actually been recorded before. The important thing today is not the recording, but the filming of their recording, just like shooting a MV.
With so many artists present, apart from the chorus, each group basically only has one line.
When it's the group's turn to perform a part, the camera will show them a close-up, and then the artists will show their dedication and seriousness in singing in the camera. During the chorus, they will zoom into a long shot, and it will be considered complete.
It sounds simple, but the recording lasted from noon until dark.
Being able to gather so many popular groups together to record together gives SBS a lot of face. Of course, the gimmick of charity songs also plays a large part in this factor.
After it was over, everyone bowed to each other and said goodbye. Park Jin Young, the four people from Missa, and Sunmi came over to say hello to Chi Kyung Won, patting him on the shoulder cordially and talking about their cooperation in the future.
When Chi Jingyuan and Park Jinying were chatting, their eyes met Pei Suzy for a few seconds. They both nodded towards each other, and Pei Xiuzhi raised her eyebrows at him lively.
After chatting for a while, Park Jin Young left with the others, and after Chi Kyung Won talked to Sunny for a while, he followed the members and opened SBS.
It was still early, so of course they would not go back to the dormitory to rest. After running two more trips, they returned to the company's practice room to do the final practice for the stage of the KBS Gayo Daejeon, which will start tomorrow.
It's this annoying time again, the year-end stages of the three major TV stations are coming one after another, and considering EXO's popularity, none of them can escape.
In the practice room, preparing for tomorrow's stage, Chi Jingyuan cursed in his heart while dancing. After experiencing it last year, he was a little afraid of the heavy schedule that Peninsula artists gather together at the end of the year.
And this year, it seems that in addition to continuous performances, he will also participate in the SBS Acting Awards...
"Alas." He sighed softly in his heart and comforted himself with those words.
There is no way, who can make me angry?
Let’s just write each chapter as it is. We won’t divide it into separate chapters. No matter how many chapters there are, there will be almost 7,000 words of updates every day.
