Li Chenghuan looked at Chi Jingyuan walking over and asked worriedly.
"Hey, Seunghwan-hyung, I looked at the schedule of the show. Our EXO stage will be on stage at about 102 minutes in the first stage of the ceremony, which is at the end of the first half."
"Indeed." Li Chenghuan looked at the program list and nodded.
"But there is an award presented in front of our stage, which is the 'Best OST Award'. If there is no accident, it should be the OST of "Reply", "All for You". If we win, I will go up with Jung Eun Ji to receive the award.
.”
"That is to say, when EXO was getting ready to go on stage, I was still on top giving my acceptance speech. It only took ten or twenty seconds between the speech and the official stage. I had to run backstage and change into singing clothes, which was too late.
impossible."
Chi Jingyuan looked at the program schedule with a smile. He just glanced at it casually at first, and then he discovered the problem.
His award was completely connected with EXO's stage, so there was no time to prepare at all.
"Indeed, there is no time at all."
Li Chenghuan nodded: "This may be a mistake by the organizer's staff. They did not consider that you would win the award before going on stage. Fortunately, you found out in advance. I will go and tell the company now and let the company communicate with the organizer. Let's see.
Can it be staggered? The staff will notify you when you wait here for the rehearsal."
After saying that, Li Chenghuan closed the door and walked out in a hurry, leaving the members looking at each other in a daze.
Chi Jingyuan was not in a hurry. This was obviously an arrangement error by the organizer and had nothing to do with them. He could just wait and see how to solve it.
After waiting for about half an hour, Li Chenghuan quickly walked into the lounge, took a breath and said to everyone: "I have already communicated with you. The organizer admitted that it was their problem and they did not consider Jingyuan before the stage.
Will go on stage to receive the award."
"Now the order of each program has been determined and cannot be changed. Jingyuan also has to go on stage to receive the award and cannot go backstage to prepare in advance. "Reply" CP's combined stage to receive the award is a hot topic that has attracted much attention, and the organizer is not willing to give up
.”
"The final plan is that after Jingyuan receives the award, an artist will come on stage to chat with the audience for a while, and then you can take advantage of this time to go backstage to change clothes. Assistant
I will be waiting at the entrance to help you, and after changing your clothes, you will go directly to the stage where you will appear and play with the members."
Li Chenghuan looked at Chi Jingyuan and showed a wry smile: "Including the transition time, it's almost a minute and a half."
"This... I should run faster, I should be able to make it in time." Chi Jingyuan shrugged.
"We have been notified over there and have already communicated. We will go to the second rehearsal in advance now. Jingyuan will run over to check the time. If it is really too late, we will have to negotiate with the organizer."
Li Chenghuan sighed and nodded, and then told the makeup artists Cody who was following him: "The company told Jingyuan not to wear thick stage makeup and eyeliner this time because he has to receive an award.
It’s not very suitable. The makeup should be clean and atmospheric, and should reflect the advantages of the facial features.”
"Nai, Jingyuan Xi's foundation is very good and her makeup is easy to apply. Don't worry." Several cody nodded with a smile and glanced at Chi Jingyuan.
"Let's go."
Under the leadership of Li Chenghuan, everyone walked towards the stage again, preparing for the second rehearsal.
The organizer has obviously communicated with them. There are no artists rehearsing on the stage at this time, but there are a few people waiting nearby. It seems that this was originally their rehearsal round, but it was postponed due to unexpected circumstances.
When they saw their exo coming, they immediately moved their eyes over.
"Anihasay." Seeing him, the EXO members quickly bowed and said hello.
This person is Park Jin Young, the founder of JYP, which is one of the three major management companies along with SM. Next to him are several assistants and backup dancers who should be on stage with him.
This time Mama Park Jin Young also had a stage performance, and together with the collaboration stage with 2pm, the performance time was almost more than 6 minutes.
As a senior executive of Park Jin Young's agency, people at the same level as him only occasionally appear in interviews or variety shows, mostly as judges, and they all have great airs.
The person who can still be active on major stages as a president and come back with new songs every once in a while is Park Jin Young.
"Aww." Park Zhenying nodded to a few people, his tone was quite friendly, and he scanned everyone in EXO with one swipe of his eyes. When he saw Chi Jingyuan, his eyes lit up.
He stood nearby, watching EXO walking on the stage with interest, and asked, "What seems to be the problem."
"Hey, there are some mistakes in the organizer's program arrangement..." Manager Li Chenghuan took the initiative to talk to Park Jinying and explained it to Park Jinying in a respectful manner.
EXO did not start the rehearsal directly. They first asked Chi Jingyuan to try out the time for him to leave the stage, run backstage, change clothes, and prepare for the stage to see if the coordinated time reserved was enough.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Chi Jingyuan left the stage quickly. About a minute later, he ran up breathlessly and nodded to Li Chenghuan.
If he ran fast enough, had someone to help him change his clothes, and made no mistakes, the time would be barely enough.
Li Chenghuan breathed a long sigh of relief, it was enough and there was no need to coordinate anymore.
The awards ceremony will be broadcast live in the evening. Coordination at this time is very troublesome and will cause a lot of problems.
Next, EXO rehearsed again. After Chi Jingyuan finished rehearsing the cover of "Spell", he and several members got off the stage and stood nearby, watching the other team members rehearsing above.
"Chi Jingyuan?" After Chi Jingyuan left the field, Park Zhenying took the initiative to take a few steps to the side and asked with great interest.
Park Jin Young is wearing a black sports suit, his eyes are narrowed into slits, his slender hands and feet, and his face look a bit like a primate. When his face is expressionless, he looks very imposing and majestic.
But at this moment, his eyes were squinted... I couldn't tell whether it was because he was squinting or because his eyes were small. Anyway, he looked at Chi Jingyuan with a kind expression and smiled softly.
"Hey, Park Jin Young pdnim, I am Ji Kyung Won from EXO." Chi Kyung Won, who was suddenly called, immediately saluted and smiled at Park Jin Young.
"Ani, there's no need to be so polite. I've heard about you a long time ago."
Park Jinying shook his hand with a cordial attitude, and reached out to pat Chi Jingyuan on the shoulder: "You almost joined our jyp at that time."
Chi Jingyuan showed doubts at the right time.
"When your brother helped you contact your debut agency, he also contacted us at JYP. He promised to come to our place to take a look after going to SM, but unfortunately he was intercepted by SM before he came."
Park Jinying narrated what happened at that time. He was a little irritated when he mentioned SM. He looked at Chi Jingyuan with regret and sighed: "If Jingyuan comes to our place, I will immediately arrange for your debut, no matter it is
It doesn't matter if you are in a group or as a solo. Hey Yigu, I haven't seen such an outstanding young talent like you for a long time. SM is really lucky..."
"pdnim, you and my second brother..." Chi Jingyuan asked tentatively.
"Nay, I have had some interactions with Director Chi..." Park Zhenying nodded and spoke for a while but didn't say much.
