I returned to Seoul on the 13th. I went back to the dormitory and took a nap to get jet-lagged. When I woke up at noon, Chi Kyung-won came to SBS with team leader Kim Jun-myeon to record a radio program. He was there because of the recent hit "Signal" preview.
Hot, and Kim Jun-myeon was there to promote his movie "Glory Days."
If EXO wants to promote, other variety shows may not be available much, but radio stations are definitely fully booked.
"Do you have any plans for the evening?"
"No, but don't you have to go back to dance practice later?"
After recording the radio station, the two of them said goodbye to the MC and PD of the program team, walked out of the studio with their bags on their backs, and were about to leave. They walked in the corridor and chatted casually.
Because he came directly from the dormitory before, the footage of this radio program was relatively blurry, so Chi Jingyuan didn't wear much makeup, just wearing a white peaked cap and a black frame to cover his eyes. Kim Junmyeon was similar.
, but he had a specially styled hairstyle because his hair was relatively long.
"Let's go get something to eat?"
"Okay, do you have any recommendations?"
"You are right to ask me this. Let me tell you, there is a restaurant in Dongdaemun..."
When it comes to places to eat, Jin Junmyeon is the best, and he immediately introduced them in a eloquent manner.
He likes to study restaurants and treat guests to dinner. He is the catering captain that is loved by all XO members.
"I'm a little thirsty. Let's buy a glass of water first..."
As they talked, the two passed by the self-service convenience store inside SBS. At Jin Junmyeon's suggestion, they went in and randomly picked a bottle of drink each, and then started queuing up to pay.
There were two or three people in front of them who were making payments at this time. They were wearing field management hats and looked like they were SBS internal operations personnel. Chi Jingyuan and the two of them were a few steps away from them, chatting quietly.
"I really envy my brother for being able to make movies."
He looked at Jin Junmian, who had a haircut and was obviously much more energetic, and clicked his tongue and said with envy.
But Jin Junmian didn't feel like he was being praised at all. Instead, he frowned and looked at him: "Axi, do you think that I, one of your female fans, will be happy if I just give you a compliment? I can't tell that you don't mean it?"
"Arnie, it's true. I heard that there is a big difference between making a movie and making a TV series... Brother, how do you feel about making a movie?"
"If you put it like that... it's quite tiring, especially when the PD is very strict with his requirements, but I don't know how to fulfill his requirements. It's very torturous at that time, and everyone on the crew is watching.
Looking at you..." Jin Junmian recalled what happened during the filming, shook his head and looked frightened. It seemed that he did not have very good memories of the career of a movie actor.
"It's okay bro, it's your first movie to be a very formal drama like this. It's better to work with Kim Ji-soo and Ryu Jun-yeol... It's better than "Flower Boy Horror", right?"
"Hahaha, that's right." Kim Junmyeon couldn't help but laugh when he mentioned this SM-produced legendary movie, which directly cut off half of SJ members' film and television career.
At this time, everyone in front had left, and it was their turn to pay. He scanned the code and asked: "What about you? "Signal" is so popular, and the company will probably receive a bunch of scripts next. Let's take a rest as before.
One year?”
"Not necessarily. "Signal" started filming last year. If this year..."
"Oppa, Anihasay..."
Before Chi Jingyuan could finish speaking, a voice saying hello came from behind. When he looked back, he found that five people from Twice had come to the back at some point. Lin Nayeon, Yu Jeongyeon, Park Jihyo, Zhou Ziyu and
Kim Dahyun, the one who took the lead in greeting Oppa was Kim Dahyun. She looked sweet with a side ponytail.
In addition to her, several people next to her also looked at Chi Jingyuan with somewhat surprised eyes. They were obviously very surprised to meet Producer Chi here. At the same time, some of them looked at him without revealing anything.
cap and black-rimmed glasses.
After twice also said hello to Jin Junxian, Chi Jingyuan turned around and looked at them after paying the money, and asked with a smile: "Are you a few? Are you here to buy drinks too... Is there a stage at SBS today?"
At this time, the five people in Twice were all wearing colorful clothes, and it was obvious at a glance that there was a stage to perform.
Zhou Ziyu was also wearing a midriff-baring outfit, and her exposed waist skin color became darker against the snow-white short sleeves. And she seemed to feel Chi Jingyuan's gaze, and instantly understood something from his eyes.
He involuntarily pursed his lips, took a step back slightly, and inadvertently stretched out his hand to pull down the hem of his clothes.
"Hey, we have a special collaboration stage on "Gaye Daejeon" today." Park Jihyo responded with a smile.
"What are you dancing about?"
"What do you think?" This was what Lin Nalian said. She blinked and looked at Chi Jingyuan, but she also gave it a try.
Chi Jingyuan glanced at him and felt that after recording the sound, Tu Ya was not so afraid of him. He even treated him to potato chips last time, and took the initiative to talk to him this time.
He glanced at the girls' clothes again and raised his eyebrows: "GEE?"
Except for Lin Nalian, who was wearing super shorts, the other four of the five wore letter short-sleeves and colored pencil pants. This set of clothes matched their special imitation makeup of SNSD. At first glance, they felt like they were stuck in the last century.
It smells like decay and outdatedness.
"Gui..." Lin Nalian stuck out her tongue in laughter.
Obviously they are not in the comeback period, and there is still more than a month before the release of the song. Twice is also a member of the group, and they are performing one special stage after another. A new girl group is really busy.
"Okay, you go ahead and buy it. Let's go first..." After paying the bill, Chi Jingyuan chatted with them for a few words without saying much. He nodded and left before preparing to leave with Jin Junmian.
"Wait a minute..."
But just when he glanced back, waved his hands and was about to leave, he suddenly stopped. He looked at Zhou Ziyu who was hiding behind, his eyes were on the chest of her clothes, and his brows furrowed.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Twice also noticed Chi Jingyuan's abnormality. They looked at each other and didn't understand what was going on. Zhou Ziyu, whose eyes were locked, blinked a little.
At a loss, he looked down at his chest - where Chi Jingyuan's eyes were locked, and he mumbled a few times without making a sound.
"..." Chi Jingyuan made a waving gesture, indicating to Zhou Ziyu to lift her hair away from the front of her clothes. After she did so carefully, Chi Jingyuan saw the complete picture printed on the chest of her clothes.
I arranged the English letters and laughed a little angrily: "Who chose the clothes for you?"
"Sister Cody from the company chose it." The other four people in Twice also looked over. After looking for a long time, they didn't find anything wrong. Lin Nalian even put her face directly on Zhou Ziyu's chest and observed her makeup.
After a while, he turned around and asked strangely: "What's wrong?"
"Do you know what this sentence on your clothes means?"
"..." Zhou Ziyu glanced down and shook his head.
Seeing her confused look, Chi Jingyuan pointed at her speechlessly and said: "'Hoes take off your clothes', 'take off your clothes' means to take off your clothes, and 'Hoes' in English lingo means X female
It means, so what is written on your clothes is..."
Girl, take off your clothes...
He didn't say the complete translation, but of course the two people understood it after listening to it, and looked at Zhou Ziyu in horror.
After reacting, Zhou Ziyu immediately frowned, and her face turned ugly. Knowing that there was such a humiliating sentence on her clothes made her feel very ugly for a moment, and she immediately pulled her hair back.
Covering it in front, and then reaching out to cover the text on the chest.
Chi Jingyuan could understand seeing her with a sad face, feeling aggrieved and not knowing what to do.
A little girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, even if she is more mature, must be a little overwhelmed wearing this kind of clothes. She remembered that she was walking around in this kind of clothes just now, and maybe some people who saw it would laugh secretly.
It doesn't work, and the rehearsals have been completed, and we will go on stage in a while. If it is actually broadcast, wouldn't it be more embarrassing?
The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt.
Especially being pointed out in front of Chi Jingyuan would make Zhou Ziyu feel extremely embarrassed at this time. The only thing he could do was to cover up the words and hide his ears.
Chi Jingyuan's expression was normal. He looked at them and asked, "It hasn't been recorded yet, right?"
Several people around him shook their heads, and at the same time they all looked down at the words on their clothes with great vigilance.
After receiving the reply of shaking his head, he continued: "Then go back quickly and let your cody change Zhou Ziyu's top before it's too late... I really don't know what you cody do for food, how can no one notice such simple English? Even if it's too late...
I don’t understand the lingo of ‘Hoes’, but I think junior high school students can understand the sentence after that. You JYP employees don’t have academic requirements, right?”
SM's entry requirements are very high. Many positions are not from prestigious universities, and people with certain qualifications will not even apply for them.
"Kang Sangmida..." Several people sincerely saluted Chi Jingyuan and thanked him. They were not in the mood to buy drinks, so they took Zhou Ziyu and said goodbye: "Then Oppa, let's leave first."
When leaving, Zhou Ziyu still clutched her chest and glanced back at Chi Jingyuan, looking a little sad.
"You will definitely be scolded if you wear such clothes on stage, right?"
Jin Junmian didn't know Twice very well, so he stood by and watched the whole process without saying much. At this moment, he watched Twice and the others leave the gloomy backs, and then he shook his head and sighed with emotion.
"Of course, everyone from the company to Cody to the idol will be scolded."
Chi Jingyuan shook his head and complained with some disdain: "Too amateurish."
"Let's go and eat."
…
When he and Kim Junmyeon were looking for a grilled beef tongue restaurant for dinner, Chi Kyung-won took his mobile phone to watch today's live broadcast of "Inkigayo". The timing was perfect and he arrived within two minutes of watching it.
Twcie's special stage, this stage is a collaboration with five people from Twice and four Gfriends. The dance is youthful and full of vigor.
He also paid special attention to Zhou Ziyu. She did not change into pencil pants on the stage, but her short-sleeved top had been replaced by an ordinary white one with a heart drawn on it, and her waist was not exposed.
, with the corners of his clothes tucked neatly into his pants.
She smiles sweetly in the camera, and although her skin is slightly darker, she still has a sense of innocence. I guess no fan would have imagined that there would be such an interlude before performing on stage.
While eating, Chi Jingyuan also received a call from Twice's manager Jin Sangmin, to express his gratitude for the afternoon's clothing incident. Chi Jingyuan didn't say anything, and hung up after a few casual greetings.
This kind of thing is definitely not a company explosion-proof thing. This kind of slut-humiliating clothes is worn by a minor Zhou Ziyu to perform. Except for those anti-fans who already hate her, most of them will definitely just scold the company.
So it must be a mistake by Cody.
But JYP has too many episodes and mistakes. The previous school uniform endorsement incident, this time's clothes, Twice has encountered it several times since their debut. It can only be said that although JYP is known as one of the top three companies in the music industry,
It's big, but it has a small workshop and informal feel everywhere.
If Twice doesn't become popular in the next one or two comebacks, or if it doesn't become popular to a satisfactory level, Chi Jingyuan estimates that they won't be able to hold on for much longer.
When he returned to the dormitory at night, he received a text message from Zhou Ziyu as expected.
"……Thank you."
Her tone was coy. She was obviously grateful and wanted to tell him, but she still couldn't save her face. She was still like this even though she was already a high school student.
"Thank you for what?" Chi Jingyuan was bored and the conversation with his roommate next to him was boring. He suddenly wanted to tease her.
After all, I also changed my clothes at the back, so nothing happened anyway, otherwise I would probably have to give him some words of comfort.
"What are you doing?" Although Zhou Ziyu has long been familiar with Chi Jingyuan's routine, he still can't help but complain every time at this time.
She sometimes enjoys Chi Jingyuan's habit of teasing a child every time he talks to her, but sometimes she is distressed by it.
I obviously wanted to complain to him about what happened in the afternoon, vomit some bitterness and then be comforted, but it ruined the atmosphere every time.
"You don't think what I said this afternoon is just talking about JYP staff, do you? You can't understand such simple English?"
"I just put on the clothes that Sister Cody gave me out of habit, without looking carefully...and I'm not the only one who didn't recognize it. Oppa, the manager, and other Ernies didn't notice it either...everyone looked like him.
You speak English so well."
Chi Jingyuan actually saw a hint of complaint in her tone, and sneered and asked directly: "This is from a junior high school. Even junior high school students can recognize it... What is your score in the English test?"
"You...why are you so cool?"
Obviously Zhou Ziyu's academic performance is average, and every time Chi Jingyuan bullies her for grades, it makes her feel uncomfortable. After this reply, she probably got angry again, and there was no movement for a while.
Just when Chi Jingyuan took back her phone with a smile and was about to do something else, she was shocked and she sent it again:
"I'm going to take a shower, I won't tell you anymore...Thank you, I'll treat you to dinner next time!"
Chi Jingyuan curled his lips, hummed and threw the phone aside.
qi~Who cares?
…………
In the next two days, apart from preparing for the final encore of the upcoming second tour concert, EXO spent most of their time practicing for the album, especially "fire" which has been changed to the prelude song
》
"fire~~~ohh"
"fire~~ ohh ei ohh~"
At this time, not long after lunch, the music of "fire" was playing continuously in EXO's practice room. The members gasped and began to practice along with the music over and over again. There was a special dance teacher watching beside them, trying to find out their
Correct the mistakes and give some suggestions on stage effects.
Originally, EXO mainly practiced monster, and they were almost ready to start the next steps. However, due to a change in plans two days ago, they suddenly switched to practicing "fire". I have been exhausted these past few days.
The choreography of the song "Fire" is in line with the overall standards of EXO's third regular album. It is a type of dance with difficult movements. Not only are there a lot of fragmentary movements, but the movements are also very frequent.
Some position changes even rely on jumping. This kind of movement requires proficiency and tacit understanding between members. If you don't pay attention or make a mistake, you can easily collide with the person next to you. From the beginning of practice to the present situation,
This has happened many times. One time, Baekhyun stepped on someone else's foot while jumping and sat on the ground, almost getting injured.
Even Chi Jingyuan himself, who participated in the choreography, was like this. He collided with people and stepped on his feet many times during practice. After another jump, he lost his position and fell down.
It’s quite annoying, and because there are so many little bits and pieces, sometimes I forget them.
The choreography of this song is indeed a bit difficult. It is really difficult to keep the rhythm of the whole group while also making the whole group dance neatly. It is in a different world from the cute garden dance like "Cheer Up" where you hold your head and act cute.
Chi Jingyuan, who was sometimes criticized by the teacher for making mistakes and forgetting movements, actually considered whether to change to Yuanqi style...
"This movement uses force from the waist and abdomen. Don't you think it's weird when Jongdae, Xiumin and you are dancing?"
"There is also the 'Crazy One' part, which is a very impactful killing part. This continuous stomping on the ground requires strength. You have to be strong to look good. Look in the mirror.
The way you dance..."
After practicing several times, the teacher began to correct their problems: "At present, in the entire team, only Zhongren dances very well and feels good, Jingyuan is a little worse but still OK, and the others are having big problems now."
"
"Chanyeol's limbs are too stiff. Why are you dancing with your head down? It looks very ugly and you don't feel anything at all. Just dance in front of the mirror and see for yourself."
"Sehun is also very awkward. His steps are obviously a little slower, and he is not on the same beat as the others. You are still standing in the front and leading the dance. It seems very obvious."
"The others, where is your strength? So soft, ah qingjia..."
"Baekhyun danced well. I already have that feeling. It would be OK if I could be a little stronger."
From now on, most EXO members have quite a lot of problems with the dance of "Fire". Except for a few who are slightly better, there are a lot of others.
SM dance teachers are very professional.
Generally speaking, many dance teachers in various entertainment companies are people who have been eliminated from the practice room to idol. Because they are definitely unable to debut, they can only rely on their previous skills to become a teacher.
Although they were eliminated as idols, basically the dancing skills of dance teachers are much higher than those of idols, and many of them later transformed into professional dancers.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Many of the skills of idols are developed during the trainee period. Most idols have no time to hone their skills after their debut.
In terms of dancing or other abilities, in fact, many idols who have been around for a long time are relying on the gains they made during their trainee years. After dancing for many years, they may not even be as good as their trainee days, and then they are praised by fans as
'Always making progress'.
There are very few idols who have truly improved themselves over time since their debut and made progress.
Byun Baekhyun is one of them. From his shortcomings in dancing in the team when he debuted due to too short training time, now his dancing ability has obviously caught up. He is not as good as the main dancer, but at least he is not lagging behind.
In terms of popularity, it has also jumped from being average in the past two years to becoming one of the top lines in EXO except for Ji Kyung-won. It was only after falling in love and becoming a fan. This change is not unobvious.
He is obviously a very ambitious person and is willing to work hard for his ambition.
In the face of criticism from the dance teacher, all the members are very modest. There are no outsiders here, and there are no beautiful female idols, so there is no face problem. They just point out the problems and correct them.
I practiced for more than two hours before entering the break time. The ultra-high-intensity dance made everyone sit on the ground and drink water while sweating profusely.
"Is your dance choreography a bit too difficult?" Wu Shixun complained as he looked at Chi Jingyuan after gulping down two sips of water.
"You're still leading the dance..." Chi Jingyuan glanced at this so-called dancer with great disgust, and sneered unceremoniously: "It doesn't matter if you can't dance well. Just stand at the back during the group dance, anyway.
Can not see you……"
"Axi..."
Amidst Wu Shixun's angry and unhappy voice, Chi Jingyuan suddenly remembered something, stood up and ran over to talk to the agent next to him:
"Brother, I have an idea about the dance of "Fire". This song pays great attention to the stage effect. The atmosphere at the end has been heightened. If there are only nine of us on the stage, the momentum will be a bit weak. I think we can add some backup dancers.
.”
This was his thought during the past two days of practice. EXO rarely brings backup dancers on stage because it has so many members, but he felt that the song "Fire" was very suitable.
"No problem, you have the final say in this regard. How many backup dancers can we add?" Chi Jingyuan himself will participate in the production of "Fire", and his manager will not put any obstacles in this.
"It's a little bit too much. I imagine there will be about... thirty to forty people. They need to fill up the entire stage. Only in this way will it look more powerful and the effect will be better... The backup dancers don't need to come on stage in front, and the last part is subtitles."
Just come up during the song... We can also design a special scene..."
While Chi Jingyuan was talking, he suddenly felt inspired again and became excited and started talking more and more.
"……no problem!"
…
While the idols are working hard for their respective jobs, a few days have passed by. With the anticipation of many red velvet fans, it finally arrived on March 16. The original trailer of red velvet’s second mini-album "The Velvet"
