Today's episode of "Music Bank" is also the first stage of the girl group Exid's comeback. They released their fourth single "Hotpk" on the 18th the day before yesterday. It was very popular and won several music charts on the same day.
of one.
Exid, which has gone against the trend and become a trend due to last year's can-do shooting incident, has become one of the most popular girl groups in the past year. The sudden popularity of its group may have caused obscurity.
Exid's management company felt like it was a sudden fortune. This year, they continued to make the girl group come back while the iron was hot. If "Shang Xia" was recalled at the end of last year and at the beginning of this year to play songs and perform activities at the same time, it can be considered a comeback.
If so, exid has returned three times in a row this year.
It’s just that Chi Jingyuan watched the pre-recording of exid’s return title song and the subsequent live performance from the side of the stage. After listening to the song and watching the performance, I always had a very strange feeling in my heart.
He always feels that exid's return title song "hotpk" is particularly imaginative to their mid-year comeback title song "ahyeah", as well as the unexpectedly popular "Shang Xia", which always sounds like a lingering sense of familiarity.
.
The flow and rhythm of the three songs are very similar. The connection and transition of the chorus are almost the same. The homogeneity is extremely serious. It feels like three different songs written according to the same song template.
I heard that the producer of exid and the creator of the title song are both well-known musicians Xinsha Donghu. He is quite good in the music industry. I don’t know what the special ideas and concepts are behind this.
Anyway, Chi Jingyuan feels that there is nothing wrong with having similar styles for several consecutive comebacks, but the songs are still so similar, which consumes his own potential and the enthusiasm of his fans.
Everyone in Girls’ Generation knows that they change their clothes after a shot... The next day, Chi Jingyuan got up very early. Because he had to shoot a commercial, he went out before dawn. First, he went to the beauty salon to have his bottom painted.
Put on makeup, and then took the nanny car to the filming location of the advertisement.
This time, the LGV10 advertisement is divided into several editions. The print advertisement is relatively simple, while the TV advertisement has indoor backgrounds and outdoor shooting. The shooting will not only be in one place in Seoul, although each edition is not long, but it is also beautiful to shoot.
Quite complicated.
LG has always been wealthy and attached great importance to this advertisement. The studio was chosen in a large venue owned by CJE near Hongdae in Mapo District. It is considered to be the best in the industry in terms of professionalism and various supporting facilities.
The best batch. Chi Jingyuan has recorded several programs here before.
After arriving at the scene, I first went to say hello to the advertising director and staff. The director of this version of the advertisement is the same director as the first version of the advertisement. He is a well-known and powerful PD in the industry. He has already worked with Chi Jingyuan last time.
, which can be considered relatively familiar.
After a few words of greeting, he took his leave temporarily. The filming crew was still preparing, and the advertising actors also needed to do styling and change clothes. He took his agent into the large lounge next to the studio.
The door to the lounge was open. Maybe their footsteps attracted the attention of the people inside. When they first walked in, the people inside had already stood up to say hello.
"Anihasay..." The overall female voice made it difficult for people to focus on it. Chi Jingyuan glanced at it, and the three ice members came into view.
Zhou Ziyu, who has long curly brown hair, is closest to him. She has makeup on her face that looks pure and lively. She has her head slightly buried, and a pair of big watery eyes are looking up at him. I don’t know if it’s a reflection.
Under the lights in the lounge, it looks bright.
However, her clothes are relatively simple. She wears a dark jacket with jeans. Except for the lines of her pants that are bulging out due to her tight thighs, there is nothing special about her. Her legs are so thick that she still looks like an idol.
Next to me are also acquaintances, two other members of ice, Lin Nayeon and Yoo Jung-yeon. Both of them also have makeup on their faces, dressed in private clothes, and salute with a smile.
"Ah Niu, hello." Chi Jingyuan didn't put on any airs. He glanced at Zhou Ziyu and then bowed slightly and nodded in return.
At this time, a man in his thirties came up to him with a smile. It was ice's manager Jin Shangmin. Chi Jingyuan had met him on a singing show before, so he seemed to know him: "Jingyuan Xi is here..." Jin Shang
As Min spoke, he pointed at the two people behind him: "Except for Tzuyu, these are Nayeon and Jeongyeon. They also participated in the CF shooting..."
"I know." Chi Jingyuan nodded as he walked inside. In addition to the spokesperson and female partner, this time CF also has several characters with face scenes, and there are not too many scenes, because Zhou Ziyu's
The relationship reached a cooperation, and JYP used Zhou Ziyu to promote the other two members of the group into the commercial shooting. Chi Jingyuan already knew it when he read the information yesterday.
No problem, this kind of taking advantage of the opportunity to promote people is very common. In addition to the managers and assistants of the artists on both sides, there are also several crew members and dy in the lounge. After a brief greeting, Chi Jingyuan
Park Jae-hyun, the manager of Ice, took the initiative to chat with Kim Sang-min, while Chi Kyung-won sat down on the single sofa one meter away from the ice trio, and took out a stack of books that he had read yesterday from his bag.
It was very familiar information. I flipped through a few pages without looking at it carefully, but I felt that there were always eyes on me next to me, scanning me from time to time.
Chi Jingyuan raised his head and looked over, and happened to bump into Yu Dingyan, who was looking over. Seeing the smile on the other person's face immediately, he also laughed: "Why don't you feel like you haven't slept well?" Although he was wearing makeup,
But after getting closer, it can be seen that the faces of the three Zhou Ziyus are average, and the dark circles under their eyes are more obvious.
"Nay, we got up very early this morning to put on makeup, and we went to bed very late in the morning yesterday..." Because I have known Chi Jingyuan before, and because I am friends with him, and I have always been fond of Chi Jingyuan.
The impression was very good, so Yu Jung-yeon seemed more natural and a little approachable. She secretly glanced at her manager who was talking to Park Jae-hyun at the door, nodded and whispered.
"How long does it usually take you to put on makeup?" Chi Jingyuan happened to have nothing to do at the moment, so he closed the information in his hand and asked casually.
Yu Dingyan is the member he has the best relationship with in ice, besides Zhou Ziyu and Ming Jingnan. They have known each other for a long time and are relatively familiar with them.
Because there is a little spy, he knows a lot about ice. He also knows that the ice dormitory is on the first floor, and the basement has been directly transformed into a dressing room. When you come in every day, you can go downstairs to put on makeup. It is convenient and very convenient without going to a beauty salon.
save time.
But while saving time, it also allows the company to pick up more trips for them...
"It depends on the schedule. Today I only put on base makeup, which is a little bit simple. Normally, variety shows take at least an hour for everyone, so I often get up at two or three o'clock and line up to put on makeup..." Chi Jingyuan also asked in a low voice: "
Then have you not been able to get enough rest recently?"
"..." Glancing at the manager secretly again, Yu Dingyan held his tongue and nodded with a disgusted expression, but soon he also laughed and waved his hand: "But it's not like this every day..." These two
People gathered together and chatted quietly. Lin Nalian, who was sitting next to her, kept her head down while reading the information without interrupting. Her sense of presence was very low, while Zhou Ziyu kept looking here with big eyes flashing, and as the two of them followed
He also made small expressions while chatting, but remained silent.
She was still a little unaccustomed to the familiar communication with Chi Jingyuan in front of other members, and it always seemed a little unnatural.
"What are you doing..." When Zhou Ziyu glanced over again, Chi Jingyuan turned his head and met her eyes, frowning and complaining: "You haven't spoken yet, are you still pretending to be cold?
?" Zhou Ziyu, who was angrily criticized in front of the team members, did not dare to fight back, lowered his head, glared at Chi Jingyuan quietly, wrinkled his nose and pursed his lips without speaking.
But after a few seconds, I don't know what she was thinking about. Her expression relaxed, she lowered her head and started laughing secretly. She didn't know what she was laughing at.
"Haha..." Yu Dingyan laughed a few times, and Lin Nalian next to her also looked here inadvertently. Both of them could obviously feel that Chi Jingyuan and Zhou Ziyu were talking in a very familiar way.
feelings and attitudes.
After a while, the on-site staff came in, greeted Chi Jingyuan and the others and started arranging work: "...because we need natural light, we will shoot the exteriors first today, and then come back to shoot the interiors after the exteriors are finished, by the way.
Jingyuan Xi, just now the PD said that there are a lot of things going on today, and he may work overtime and shoot very late at night..."
"I understand, it's no problem." Faced with the other party's politeness, Chi Jingyuan quickly smiled and nodded.
"Then let's put on makeup quickly. It's getting late..." Although the sky was not completely bright at this time, the staff still urged after taking a look at the time.
...Because I have just debuted, I pay great attention to the way I get along with my seniors and staff, and my manager is always with me. Although they share the same lounge, the three ice people seemed a little reserved throughout the whole process, except at the beginning.
There wasn't much opportunity to chat, and everyone got into work mode without saying a few words.
Speaking of which, this was the first time Chi Jingyuan worked with them after ice debuted. Seeing Zhou Ziyu sitting in front of the dressing table, being played with on the head seriously, she honestly didn't dare to move.
While talking, his big and lively eyes would always pretend to be casual and look around from time to time, trying to see the situation behind him and Chi Jingyuan's expression through the reflection in the mirror. Chi Jing was looking at Chi Jingyuan with those tentative little eyes.
Yuan burst into laughter.
The girl obviously couldn't let go because of his presence. After putting on makeup and changing clothes, they set off with the filming crew. Taking advantage of the early dawn, they officially started shooting today's v10 commercial.
This second version of the mobile phone advertisement does not have a lot of plot, but more of a dialogue and interaction between the characters and some backgrounds to highlight and display the main selling points of the mobile phone.
Chi Jingyuan has tried the LGV10 mobile phone in private, and actually thinks it is quite good. Although it may not be as good as Apple, which is now in full swing, as the flagship model of the LGV series, it also has its own characteristics.
"Cut, what's going on?" The director stopped the shooting and started shouting loudly. After arriving at the location, he was ready to start shooting. At this time, he was shooting a scene of two people interacting. Chi, who had changed into a light-colored coat,
Jingyuan and Zhou Ziyu, who were dressed casually, were each using their mobile phones and looking at each other through the guardrail. They just started filming. As soon as their eyes met, Zhou Ziyu seemed to be stuck and did not follow the script. He immediately
The director shouted angrily.
This is not the first time. Not long after filming started, Zhou Ziyu already had several problems. Even her agent was criticized just now.
Before the director finished speaking or even finished his voice, Zhou Ziyu quickly began to apologize: "Mi ah na da, mi ah na da..." She kept saluting, her movements were at a very standard 90 degrees, and she said every time she bowed.
As he apologized, his brown hair flipped up and down in front of Chi Jingyuan's eyes as his body moved back and forth, and his voice sounded a little pitiful and dignified.
"PD do it again." At this time, just when the director was about to say something, Chi Jingyuan raised his hand and took the initiative to interrupt Zhou Ziyu's apology, and smiled bitterly: "Actually, I wasn't ready either. I was a little bit just now.
I was stunned, Tzuyuxi really jumped..."
"Uh." The director who was about to say something opened his mouth. After seeing Chi Jingyuan taking the initiative to apologize, he nodded without saying anything more and waved his hand: "Return the camera to its position and start again." The apology was interrupted.
After listening to the exchange between Chi Jingyuan and PD, Zhou Ziyu pursed her lips and turned her head to look over with a somewhat scornful expression. Although Chi Jingyuan glanced at her, he did not speak.
Because he was very close, Chi Jingyuan could clearly see Zhou Ziyu's ears, and even his cheeks were slightly red. After taking a look, he turned away, not daring to look at him.
This child is too nervous...the camera reset and started again. Not only Zhou Ziyu was nervous, but Chi Jingyuan, who was working with her for the first time, was actually a little uncomfortable. Seeing that familiar face,
When he puts on a arrogant, cold, pretty, pretentious expression in front of him, he can't help but feel very strange, and sometimes he just laughs.
"...Haha..." Maybe it's for some other reason, but it's really funny.
"cut!"
"Jingyuan..." Facing Chi Jingyuan, whom LG and the advertising agency valued most, the director's attitude and patience became much better. He was not as unscrupulous as when he was facing Ice.
He just looked at him helplessly and shouted.
"pdni, mi ah ne mi ah nei." Chi Jingyuan immediately took the initiative to apologize. Although his smile had not faded, his attitude was very sincere.
"Oh, let's start again..."
"start!"
"Cut, come again!" The filming of this commercial did not go smoothly at first. Zhou Ziyu kept having various problems at first. After the director's patience was exhausted, he yelled a few words, but later Chi Jingyuan also started to laugh.
Even when he made a mistake, he was a little embarrassed to say anything.
In advertising, this problem often arises at the beginning of a collaboration, especially when one of the actors does not have much CF shooting experience.
However, after a few ngs and a while of running in, everyone quickly got into the mood, the director's mood also stabilized, and the progress suddenly picked up.
After one scene was shot and it was time to change clothes and head to the next shooting location, Zhou Ziyu looked back.
Looking at Chi Jingyuan, who was following her agent towards the nearby parking lot, talking and smiling as he walked, she couldn't help biting her lower lip, as if she understood something, and complex ripples began to stir in her heart.
