Zhou Ziyu, who was sitting on the bed in the dormitory, applying a facial mask and not missing any opportunity to whiten her skin, saw the words displayed on the screen stagnant for a moment. The next second, she wrinkled her nose and spat softly. The originally flat blue
There were some wrinkles on the mask, and I stared angrily at the phone. I quickly tapped the screen with both hands and entered a line of words: "Why are you so smart..."
But halfway through typing, her hand stopped. She paused and then quickly clicked back to erase all the words she had just entered. After thinking for a few seconds, she pursed her lips softly and typed another reply.
Past: "Do you want me to ask for you?"
Although she didn't know it very well, Zhou Ziyu felt that her mother should know it. After learning that Chi Jingyuan went to Wanwan to find a place to eat supper, as a half-host, she suddenly felt a passionate sense of mission in her heart.
, I feel that I should play some active guiding role in Chi Jingyuan’s winding journey.
It's a pity that two pieces of news came out a few seconds later, which made her excitement flow out like a flood:
"Forget it, the members checked online and found the place,"
"Let's not talk about it for now."
"cut."
Some cold words instantly dampened the enthusiasm in her heart. Even though she was wearing a facial mask, Zhou Ziyu couldn't help curling her lips. She hummed softly and threw the phone on the quilt aside as if to vent her anger. She picked up a fat man lying on the bedside.
The Din doll started to play with.
In less than two minutes, she glanced at the phone not far away from time to time. She always had the urge to pick up the phone and send a message to ask Chi Jingyuan what he was eating now.
Twenty minutes later, Zhou Ziyu took her phone to the bathroom, took off the mask and gently washed her face. Just as she was wiping her face with a towel, the phone next to her suddenly rang twice. She quickly picked up the phone.
, as expected, I found that the message was from Chi Jingyuan.
In the photo, Chi Jingyuan is looking at the camera, holding a round dumpling and eating it with a smile. His expression is enjoying the delicious food, which makes people salivate.
"Yeah, what do you think (smiley face)?"
"..."
After red velvet smiled and said hello to the seniors and chatted for a while, Pei Zhuxuan took the initiative to take two steps and sat down next to Chi Jingyuan. Chi Jingyuan glanced at her because her bangs were pushed aside, leaving her empty.
He only rubbed his hairy forehead a few times and asked casually.
It's really simple, just one shot, without any difficulty standards and very low. The only requirement is to look crazy, the crazier the better.
But having said that, the music industry in Peninsula is so cruel. Only a few ordinary people can enter a big company as a trainee, and only a handful can persist in the trainee career for several years and successfully debut. Even if they successfully debut, they can
With a name and popularity, it is very rare to become a first-line group or even a top Top group, and it has a lot to do with the company's operation and luck.
It seemed that Zhou Ziyu was under a lot of pressure. At this time, he obviously had some desire to talk. Chi Jingyuan happened to be happy and okay. He raised his head and glanced at the side. Park Chanyeol and Bian seemed to be arguing over who was better at playing "League of Legends" last time.
Baekhyun complained with contempt in his heart, crossed his legs and tapped the screen: "Group?"
As one of the main members, EXO's stage performance is no different from last year. In addition to the many collaborative performances by the members, the XO group also has a six-song stage. The only difference is that this year, "Addicted" has been replaced by "Call Me"
"Baby" is all.
"You know, brother, we have practiced it in private." The child prodigy looked really funny, and several people laughed.
Chi Jingyuan silently recited the names of the two groups, tasted the elimination rules of this survival show, and couldn't help but nod to confirm Zhou Ziyu's statement. In each episode, people must be assigned to the "poor student group", and they must also
Eliminating someone is indeed quite cruel.
Chi Jingyuan's true senses did not satisfy Zhou Ziyu, but perhaps annoyed her a little. After returning his expression, she couldn't say a word for a long time.
Among them, the prodigy was carrying a video camera and was dressed like a VJ.
As she watched, a warm smile appeared on her face, her dimples popped out mischievously, but her eyes were slightly absent-minded as if she was lost in memories.
"No problem, pick a good place to eat whatever you want, and just call Eunhyuk to pay for it after eating." Li Donghai made a gesture and helped Eunhyuk to take care of the meal without saying a word.
"..."
Chi Jingyuan's reply was quick, but still not as she expected. Zhou Ziyu snorted again after seeing it, but it was obviously much happier than the previous one.
‘minor, a few minor ones?’
"Hey Yigu, why are you sitting here? We walked around for a long time before we came up..."
"I know." Chi Jingyuan smiled and made two gestures.
Amidst the music, EXO divided into several groups and walked off the main stage. When they got to the middle, they sang and waved and interacted with the audience. Chi Jingyuan's screams continued wherever he went, and countless fans held their hands.
He stretched out his long arm across the fence and kept shaking, wanting to give me a high-five.
"cut."
To be honest, EXO's solo showcase has almost as many stages. After a normal performance, both Chi Kyung-won and other members are very tired. After "Call Me Baby" ended, they seemed to feel relieved and ate big food backstage.
Drink water and breathe.
"I won't give it to you."
"Ah Ni, Ah Ni, that's too exaggerated." EXO burst out laughing and quickly shook his hand to deny it. Jin Junmian was overwhelmed and lifted the prodigy's arm from his shoulders, and hurriedly explained.
Two sentences.
"Why does it feel so vulgar? Is this the original aesthetic of JYP?"
This is the first SM family concert held in 2015, but it is still one of the fourth SM town world tour concerts held last year. Both the program and the process are actually the same as before.
period tour.
"And one person will be eliminated from the minors in each round, and only the few who survive to the end can debut. It's super cruel!"
Chi Jingyuan ignored her and looked at the selfie photo she sent her.
Click on it to see a lot of pictures of late night snacks.
Today's red velvet performance outfit happens to be the one in "ice cream cake". Bae Zhuhyun, who has already changed clothes, has a golden ponytail that sways as she walks, and her plain blue sweater has
Wearing yellow and blue striped sleeves, a pair of smooth legs under white shorts, and a pair of white shoes under blue and white striped waist socks, she looks refreshing and has a youthful and lively feel.
Chi Jingyuan looked at the text message she sent before and replied casually: "Start recording?"
But after all, SJ is a senior who has been in the industry for so many years. He is no longer a newcomer who can do whatever the company says. The company does not provide resources and they do it themselves. They mobilize many friends they know in the company to become actors. They have always been very interested in photography.
The child prodigy, who was always interested in studying, acted as the director, formed a grassroots team and started filming.
Just now, Zhou Ziyu took the initiative to mention their survival talent show. After such a long time of preparation, the official recording has finally begun.
"Well, the rules of the show have come out..."
It seems that Chi Jingyuan came to Wanwan. Zhou Ziyu became a little lively and enthusiastic after knowing it. After making her angry and greedy with delicious food last night, she took the initiative to send a message this morning, but just now
EXO has been rehearsing and has no chance to reply. Now they are finally free.
Hearing this question, Zhou Ziyu seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then quickly sent another message: "There are a total of sixteen people. The name of our show is called "Sixteen". It seems that there will be seven people in the final debut. I remember the room
I’ve always said so.”
"Is this the look that JYP's cody made for you?"
It's a pity that SM Company is obviously not very optimistic about their team. They don't invest much in various resources, and they didn't even agree to the application for reshooting the MV.
After walking only two steps, Bae Zhuhyun, who was originally ranked second, seemed to notice something, obviously slowed down a bit, and soon fell to the last one.
To be honest, in the MV of "Ice Cream Cake", Ji Kyung-won thinks that Bae Joo-hyun's best-looking outfit is this outfit.
Sure enough, Zhou Ziyu was a little dissatisfied after seeing "Don't watch" and sent an emoticon:
"(glaring)."
The song came to an end amidst the music, and the idols returned to the stage to prepare for the curtain call. All the idols were divided into several directions to stand in a row, holding hands with each other and bowing to the audience.
"Those precious people who are always by my side."
"Indeed, it's really a trend." Li Donghai also praised him somewhat, and also complained a little: "That's why we don't have any of them until now."
"The scenery is nice, and the wind is very comfortable." Chi Jingyuan and others stood up and said hello to these brothers with a smile, then glanced at the prodigy in full uniform and said curiously: "Brother
, will you shoot it here?”
An SM family concert in 2015 officially started at Hsinchu County Stadium at 4 p.m.
As the most popular group under the company today, EXO performed "Lucky", "I need you", "MAMA", "Roar", "Wolf and Beauty" and "Call Me Baby" throughout the performance. Among all the groups today,
It has the largest number of stages, not counting other individual collaboration stages.
Just when he was complaining that this little kid couldn't hear the truth, several familiar but slightly panting voices and some heavy footsteps came from a distance at the same time, interrupting the argument next to him that was presenting facts, reasoning, and data.
The endless chat about Park Chanyeol and Byun Baekhyun also attracted Ji Kyungwon's attention.
When Chi Jingyuan read the first two text messages, he was still thinking that the name "sixteen" was really random. It was named after the number of people. At the same time, he was also thinking about the mechanism of choosing seven out of sixteen, which had a relatively high chance. Zhou Ziyu finally
A message was sent.
D&E, a small unit composed of SJ Donghae and Eunhyuk, released their first mini-album on March 9 and made their comeback at the same time as EXO. However, the response can only be said to be mediocre, and it was basically completely covered up by EXO's "Call Me Baby".
Early the next morning, a large team of SM companies rushed to the Hsinchu County Stadium to conduct advance rehearsals and positioning drills.
"Don't just praise me, brother, please invite us to have a meal together when you have time." Jin Junmian did not accept this, and made the request with a smile.
In the photo, after putting on makeup, she opened her eyes hard at the camera, turned her face slightly to one side and pursed her lips, smiling, as if she was trying hard to make herself look prettier in the photo and at the same time look like an idol, but I don’t know why Chi Jingyuan
You can always feel a sense of stupidity on her face.
"OK!" The prodigy made two hand gestures nonchalantly, looked at Chi Jingyuan and continued: "Then Jingyuan, you will appear in front of the camera from the left and cross across. You don't have to jump, just make gestures with your hands on your head.
Already."
Braised pork rice, meatballs, and oyster omelette are all familiar local delicacies, and they are all things Zhou Tzuyu often ate before coming to the peninsula.
A few seconds later, another message was received, which was a selfie.
"It's very simple, it's Chen, Chanyeol, the four of you just stand here and dance, it's the one I demonstrated to you before..." A few people found an open space next to the stands and started filming, PD
The child prodigy explained the process. At the same time, he put both hands on his head, stretched out his index fingers and shook them constantly, and gave them a demonstration by jumping his body twice.
Park Chanyeol's somewhat excited voice came to his ears and Chi Jingyuan came back to his senses. He turned his head and glanced at the two people who were fighting more and more fiercely and seemed to be about to fight, as well as Wu Shixun who was standing next to him and kept fighting, as well as
Do Kyung-soo was smiling and watching the excitement.
Shindong waved his hand and said that this was all secondary, and then looked at the EXO people with some exaggeration: "Wuli
Already."
Chi Jingyuan and several members found a seat in the stands on the left side of the stage and sat down. While looking down at the busy staff on the other side of the stage and the scenery in the venue, they fiddled with their mobile phones and texted Zhou Ziyu.
.
If you want to send it, just send it. Why bother asking? It's really unnecessary.
"I heard from the director that it should be officially broadcast in May. One or two episodes may be recorded before the broadcast."
Almost every performance on this show is related to several years of hard work and sweat. Once you are eliminated, your chance to debut will disappear instantly. Just thinking about it is quite torture.
Each filming lasted only a minute or two, and after only two or three takes, the Prodigy PD called out. After looking at the shot with Donghae Eunhyuk and others, he smiled with satisfaction and began to pat hard with thanks.
Chi Jingyuan stood on the shoulders of others and praised their acting skills greasyly.
"...There is absolutely nothing wrong with my Amumu, Axi, but your Ezreal will hide behind and watch, unable to kill anyone at all. Do you blame me?"
"The location doesn't matter, it can be anywhere, as long as people come."
She followed Park Soo-young in front, her back tightly blocked. She lowered her head and quickly moved her hands in front of her head twice. She pushed the thick golden bangs that had gathered in front of her forehead to both sides of her cheeks, and held her forehead.
After shaking vigorously, he raised his head again and walked over at a faster speed.
A few people laughed and chatted in the stands for a while. A few minutes later, there was another crisp sound of footsteps. Chi Jingyuan turned his head and saw five people from Red Velvet walking towards this side in a row.
Five dazzling blond hair seemed to be shining in the sun.
The concert, which lasted for more than an hour, came to an end. After the performance of "Catch Me" by TVXQ, which was the last one on stage, it came to the end of the concert. The last song was "Hope", which was performed by all members on stage.
I have participated in four shows last year. The specific stages and procedures are very different and everyone is already familiar with them. The rehearsal in the morning was quickly completed. During the break, all the idols gathered together in twos and threes and waited for a while.
Lunch and second rehearsal in the afternoon.
"(angry)."
Several people from SJ came to EXO to help shoot the MV.
Thinking of his 'little' friend, Chi Jingyuan's previously free and easy heart became a little dry. He looked at the screen of his mobile phone for a few seconds and fell into silence.
"By the way, my makeup photos have been taken. Do you want to see them?"
And Chi Jingyuan did not disappoint the fans. He squinted his eyes and stretched out his hand to quickly run across the fence in front of him. He touched the hands of most of the fans and it was considered a high-five. In an instant, the fans were so satisfied that they even exploded.
Deafening cheers.
Especially the trainees who are participating are all teenage trainees. For example, Zhou Ziyu who was born in 1999 is only sixteen or seventeen years old this year. I heard that there are also post-00s who are several years younger than her. Such little brats are suddenly selected.
Come out to compete with each other and then be brutally eliminated one by one.
"Sixteen, didn't I tell you?"
EXO was selected from the many younger generation male trainees of SM. Although Ji Jingyuan did not experience the suffering and hardship at that time, he could hear members remembering and complaining about the period of selection and competition from time to time.
You can imagine how cruel it must be from his tone.
After watching them quietly for a few seconds, Chi Jingyuan lowered his head and typed: "How many people will participate in your show? How many people will be able to debut in the end?"
They asked EXO to shoot a song called "Can You Feel It (Touch)". They had already told Chi Jingyuan and the others a few days ago, but EXO was very busy at the time and didn't have time.
This H.O.T. classic song has become like "Unforgettable Tonight" for SM family concerts. Without exception, every time SM town ends, all the idols will appear together, singing this song while singing on the stage.
Dispersing to interact with the audience is both a farewell and a thank you.
To be honest, it is actually good for these female trainees to be exposed to the reality of the industry earlier. If they are eliminated or realize that they are not suitable for this industry, they should change companies earlier to seek other opportunities to debut or simply leave the industry to change careers or go to school.
, it can also be regarded as an early stop loss.
"I've always been around, but I didn't realize how important it is."
He smiled when he saw it, and without thinking, he sent the message "don't look at it". Unexpectedly, he just sent it one second, and the other party sent the photo the next second.
"Wow, the other girls are really amazing. There are a few girls who are obviously valued by the company and teachers. Some of them have been practicing for ten years! Ten years...but there are also some who have only practiced for one year.
, I think I should be considered average..."
The light during the shooting was a little distorted. He couldn't tell whether Zhou Ziyu's obviously dyed hair color was red or brown. She was wearing a black vest with a navel exposed, and two metal chains hanging around her neck. He didn't know what to hang.
What is the style and intention?
But if it is Zhou Ziyu...
"Yes, senior, please help me." Pei Zhuxuan nodded, then looked at Jiang Seulqi and others who had jumped up next to him, and stretched out his index finger to make signs on his head twice, and chuckled twice:
"The choreography of this song is really interesting."
I heard that they not only searched for EXO, but almost all the groups in the company, including the senior BOA and the newly debuted Red Velvet.
"This survival talent show will divide all participating trainees into two groups, the major group and the minor group. Then there will be a task for us to complete in each episode. PD Park Jin Young will regroup them according to each person's performance.
Those who perform well go to the major, and those who perform poorly go to the minor.”
This is also the reason why Chi Jingyuan has just joined the company, because his status as an "airborne soldier" is very disliked by some people. The more he has that experience, the more he hates this kind of relationship.
No one would refuse such a small thing like a casual help from a senior in the company, and it was only for one or two shots anyway.
Chi Jingyuan glanced over and found that the three people from red velvet came over and stood next to him under Park Chanyeol's greeting. Park Chanyeol noticed Chi Jingyuan's eyes and said, "You don't need to thank me."
He raised an eyebrow at him, with a hint of obvious narrowness in his sunny smile. After looking at him, he took the initiative to stand at the edge of the queue. On the right side of Park Soo-young, he also started waving.
"Indeed." When Chi Jingyuan saw this, he gestured twice to blend in with the environment, put his hands on his head, looked at the two rabbit-like people, looked at each other, and smiled.
EXO's people were not completely together. Ji Jingyuan and the four members stood at the front left side of the main stage, waving to the bottom while waiting for other idols to come over and prepare for the final farewell. At this moment, the person who was originally standing
Park Chanyeol, who was on his right, seemed to have seen something and took the initiative to give up his position. He also smiled and waved to the place next to him, as if asking someone to come over.
At this time, everyone also changed into family short-sleeves of the same style. The white mirrored short-sleeves had a pink bear pattern printed on them, and the words '2015 SMtown live' were written on the bear's belly.
Chi Jingyuan had been interacting with the audience and didn't pay attention at first. A few seconds later, a faint fragrance came and he realized that someone had changed to his right. Pei Zhuhyun with golden ponytail was standing next to him, seemingly
I didn't see him waving to the audience below.
"You were also called to shoot the MV?"
This is also the uniform that I change into at the end of every session. Chi Jingyuan remembers that the last time he wore this outfit, it said '2014' on it.
Zhou Ziyu knew at a glance that he was eating roasted mochi, a common street snack in the Wanwan area.
The smile returned to her face. She picked up her phone and typed quickly: "It looks delicious. I want to eat it too (drooling)."
He was rather fat and jumped up on the spot, with the fat on his body and face swaying. His index finger was waving on his head like a rabbit's ears, but his expression was very serious, which looked awkward no matter how you looked at it.
‘major, professional’
"Yes, after selecting the people a while ago, the company started special training, and then we have been practicing the opening dance. The day before yesterday, we finally started taking the makeup photos and recording the opening dance. After the opening, we will start the formal recording of the program and grouping.
"
The competition is really fierce.
Perhaps because they like it, or perhaps to give back to their fans, these two brothers want to shoot MVs for some of the songs included in the album and put them online to promote the reissue of the album released on the 24th.
When I looked up, I saw several members of the senior group SJ. Donghae, Eunhyuk, Shindong and Leeteuk were all there. Kim Junmyun and other EXO members were also with them. The group of people were chatting and laughing towards them.
Come this way.
Ji Kyung-won still has a duet with Son Seung-wan in "All for You" and a stage collaboration with Son Seung-wan, Luna, and Henry.
"Hahaha……"
…………
Chi Jingyuan knew what he meant and smiled secretly in his heart.
When the final music ended, countless silver sequins began to float from the ceiling of the venue, like a combination of snowflakes and moonlight, rendering the sparkling stage a touch of beauty. At the same time, all the idols of the SM family on the stage and the idols next to them
People held each other's hands and bowed deeply to the audience to express their gratitude.
The hands of Chi Jingyuan and Bae Zhuxuan also held each other naturally, but judging from the wrinkles of the fingerprints and the extent of the fit, they seemed to hold a little tighter than others.
Bae Zhuhyun, who was bending down and bowing, showed no emotion on her face, but her heart was beating fast. Not only that, some embarrassing comments and thoughts that made her cheeks blush suddenly appeared in her heart for no reason:
