To put it bluntly, "Reply 1997" is just a low-budget TV series on cable TV. Even the shooting costs are already stretched thin, and there is not much publicity. In the summer season, the other three major channels have a lot of hot dramas and big productions.
, and is not valued at all.
The main creative staff of this drama basically produced variety shows before this drama. Director Shin Won-ho and screenwriter Lee Yoo-jung had never had any experience in producing TV dramas, so colleagues in the industry did not have any hope for this drama from the beginning.
In addition, the male and female protagonists all have no acting experience. They are members of an idol group who are acting in a TV series for the first time. The combination of inexperienced creators and idol protagonists is even more laughable. There will be no splash after the show is released.
disappeared from sight.
Both the creative staff and the actors in the crew are very clear about their own positioning, and they are not very confident in this drama. Many people just hope that the ratings will be better after the TV series is released, so that it will not be canceled after being released halfway.
Simply cutting off the TV stations would have achieved the goal.
Of course, except for Chi Jingyuan, he naturally had his own reasons for choosing this drama. Now he only hopes that his participation can make this "Reply 1997" more successful.
It will be officially broadcast on July 24th. The atmosphere among the crew has become tense a few days before the broadcast. Many people are unable to concentrate due to worry. Fortunately, the filming required for the broadcast has been enough.
The two days of shooting were very relaxing.
After the official broadcast, the shooting task will become arduous again.
However, Chi Jingyuan was not with the crew these two days. He asked for leave and went to Xia Kingdom with his team. There were many interviews and stages that required the exo-k team to come together.
Along with Team M, several members of Team K accepted interviews from several media and magazines, and also took some pictorials.
In the entire exo-k team, only Chi Jingyuan, who lived in Xia Kingdom for several years when he was a child, is the only one who knows Chinese. Although several other members have learned Chinese, their level is still far behind.
Nihao, have a rest.'
Because of the language, Ji Jingyuan became the focus of interviews and attention during the activities of Team K. This should be Kim Junmyeon's business in the peninsula, and it will be his turn after arriving here.
Only after they came to Xia Kingdom did they realize that EXO was so popular. Even Team K, who had hardly any activities here, had dedicated fans to pick them up when they got off the plane. When they came in and out to catch up with announcements, there were fans waiting for them.
They screamed loudly when they appeared.
The other members of Team K are okay. Chi Jingyuan is the most popular. You can see many fans holding his posters and name tags in the crowd. There are many fans who look young and cry immediately when they see him.
When he came out, after Chi Jingyuan cast his gaze, he couldn't control himself with joy. He cried and raised the poster in his hand higher.
The crowd involuntarily moved towards the front, and the security and staff had a hard time stopping the enthusiasm of the fans.
Chi Jingyuan, who was originally in a relaxed mood, didn't know what to feel when he saw it. He stopped walking directly into the venue, turned around, bowed deeply to the enthusiastic fans, and then took a sip.
He kept waving his hands to the crowd to express his thanks.
It lasted for a while before the agent pulled me in.
"The fans here are really enthusiastic, I like them so much."
In the lounge, Jin Junmian remembered the scene just now and sighed.
"..." Chi Jingyuan nodded and said nothing.
"It would be great if we could be so popular on the peninsula."
Do Kyungsoo also sighed.
"There is a chance."
…
They then appeared on the stage of "xx Base Camp" on July 21 and performed bilingual versions of "History" and "Mama" with the exo-m team.
In the bilingual version, Team K comes on first and sings Korean lyrics. After the first chorus, Team M comes on again and sings Xavier lyrics. Finally, the two teams join the stage and sing Xavier lyrics together.
This is also their exclusive performance method for EXO.
During the recording, the response from the audience below was very good, with a lot of goodwill and enthusiasm for the boy band EXO.
After recording "xx Base Camp", Team M was left to continue their activities in Xia Kingdom. Team K flew back to the peninsula overnight. They will also participate in the Olympic Fighting concert hosted by KBS TV station on the 22nd.
Still performing "mama".
It was already the early morning of the 23rd when we returned to the dormitory after all this work. We were tired and tired, and the members of Team K had no energy to communicate or interact at all, so they crawled directly onto the bed and fell asleep.
At this time, it was less than a day before Chi Jingyuan's first TV series was broadcast.
…
July 24, before the broadcast of "Reply 1997".
"Shanmei, why don't you go to bed? You have to go to school tomorrow."
As a mother, Cui Ma looked at her daughter Cui Shanmei, frowned and shouted.
Cui Shanmei hugged a bear doll, sat on the sofa and stared at the TV. She changed her sitting position and scratched her hair, looking very anxious and waiting for something.
Mother Cui had been observing her daughter for a long time, and after looking at her watch several times, she finally couldn't help but speak.
"Oh Mom, today is the day when the TV series starring my Oppa is premiered. As Oppa's most loyal fan, of course I will stick to the show."
Cui Shanmei turned around, her tone was completely reasonable, and she was a little impatient.
The girl is about fifteen or sixteen years old, looks a little fat, and wears a bow hairpin on her head. From her tone of voice, she can tell that she is very popular in the family.
"You Oppa...are you in that combination?" Cui Ma thought for a while.
She naturally knows about her daughter's star-chasing behavior. After all, Cui Shanmei has covered her entire bedroom with posters of boys. It's so obvious that as a parent, she doesn't even want to know.
My daughter had saved her pocket money for a long time and bought ten exo albums in one go, but she didn't get the signed photo card of Yuan that she wanted most, so she cried secretly for a while.
After coming back, I secretly put the album at the bottom of the bedside table, like a treasure, and secretly took it out to take a look when my parents were not around.
Naturally, these behaviors cannot be hidden from the alert parents, but they both love their only daughter, and star chasing itself is a culture in Peninsula schools. As long as they are not idols with a bad image, they can support their daughter.
