"If you watch the performance in the MV, you can feel that we are trying to express a new feeling..."

"No matter what kind of stage it is, or what kind of color it will be, I will think it through beforehand... I hope that the fans and audience who come here will not regret it, and keep the picture in their memory forever."

Chi Jingyuan is dressed in simple black short-sleeves, facing the camera with a calm expression, speaking his feelings in fluent Japanese.

"CUT!"

"OK." Finally, the PD who was in charge of filming stopped, and then waved his hand to signal the end of today's filming.

At this time, Chi Jingyuan is filming EXO's new group series, "EXO Channel". This is the first time that XO will record and broadcast a regular program in Neon. It is SM's special preparation for their debut in Neon in the second half of the year. of a program.

But it’s not so much a group show, it’s more like a documentary, the main content is from the debut a few years ago, until this year, some handsome footage of all XO’s album "MV", plus interviews and thoughts of some members . The recording is very simple, and the editing does not require members to participate, just face the camera and answer some questions, and you don't even need to go to the neon.

The first episode was broadcast on TV Tokyo on August 7th. The duration of each episode is only about 3 minutes, and the content is not too nutritious to be honest. It's not a big plan.

"Thanks for your hard work."

"Kangsang Mita."

At this moment, Chi Jingyuan just finished the next two phases of filming. After the PD announced the end, he stood up and saluted the PD and all the staff with a smile, and then talked with the other members who were waiting beside the filming After saying hello, he left the studio with his assistant.

The filming crew had communicated before, the day after tomorrow is the final performance of "Gayo Festival", and he will go to the final practice with Li Zhien and the others later.

"boom."

"Brother, let's go eat something first, and then go after eating"

Sitting in the nanny's car, Chi Jingyuan lowered his head while holding the mobile phone, and at the same time said to Cui Zhichang in the driver's seat.

"Okay, Jingyuan, what would you like to eat?"

"Just find one next to the company that you often go to."

"OK."

The engine sounded, and the car pulled out from the parking lot next to the SM building, while Chi Jingyuan was sitting in the back of the nanny's car, looking at the text message Pei Zhuxuan had just received on his phone.

"The recording of "Idol Games" is over, I'm really exhausted!"

The tone seemed to be coquettish, and she was also complaining. Obviously, the recording experience of "Odd Games" for the first time after debut did not bring Pei Zhuxuan a very good experience.

red velvet went to participate in the recording of this program yesterday. I heard that they rushed to the scene before dawn, and the recording did not end until midnight. If they return to Seoul and return to the dormitory to rest and sleep, the time should be Just got up.

She obviously felt a lot of emotion, and immediately sent another message: "I know why you and XO didn't go!"

"It's really tiring, but the recording in the middle is actually quite interesting, and it's very lively with so many people together...By the way, did you get the first place in the few projects you participated in yesterday?" Chi Jingyuan looked up. He glanced at Cui Zhichang's driving route, and then focused on replying.

"No...the wrestling that Seulgi and the others signed up for, kkkkk Yerin was no match for anyone else, she was pushed to the same level, Seulgi persisted for a long time without winning, and in the end she was directly defeated by 2:0, and Xiurong didn't even play ...Thanks to the fact that they practiced seriously for a long time the day before yesterday, I laughed to death hahaha...'

"Then there is group archery. We made it to the finals, but we still lost... But I am very accurate. You will know when the time comes when you watch the broadcast."

Speaking of this, Pei Zhuxuan seemed to be cheerful all of a sudden. Obviously, yesterday's recording left her not only a bad impression, some projects were actually quite interesting to play.

"Who is your wrestling opponent?"

"Apink."

Seeing the name, Ji Jingyuan immediately understood that wild women like Zheng Eunji are the best at fighting. The youngest member, Wu Xiarong, is tall and burly. Big, just those small arms and legs of red velvet, it's normal for them not to be opponents.

"By the way, we were not the only ones in the company to participate in the recording yesterday. Yuta and Jaeho from ROOKIES also came to participate. I heard it was also arranged by the company...they haven't made their debut yet."

As he said that, Pei Zhuxuan specifically mentioned this news, feeling a little pointed.

The two she mentioned are members of SM ROOKIES, and they are also the reserve members of the boy group that is scheduled to debut next year.

This boy group has not officially debuted yet, SM has already started all kinds of preheating and preparations, SMTown has their stage, last year they let a few people show their faces in EXO's group show and collaborate on songs, and gave it back last month I took yuta's popular variety show "Non-Summit Talks" as a fixed guest position, and this time let them directly go to "Occasionally Games".

It is not an exaggeration to say that they are the royal family with so many resources showing up before their debut. It can be seen that the company seems to be really optimistic about this boy group project with unlimited additions.

Chi Jingyuan of course understands what Miss Sister means, obviously she also thinks that the resources of this boy group are a bit too good, and she is a little worried that they will seize the resources of Chi Jingyuan and their XO after their debut.

This kind of ass is directly on your side, and it feels good to stand in your position and care about you.

"It's okay." Chi Jingyuan didn't take it too seriously: "Let's talk about it after they make their debut."

The current level of EXO is really not something that can be achieved by giving a few cases and a few more variety shows, and Chi Jingyuan is not worried that someone will rob him of his resources.

"Well... by the way, I finally understand why I heard them say that "Occasionally Games" is a bit like a dating show for idols. Yesterday, several male idols asked our members for numbers, some sent notes, and I came here directly during the break, it's really..."

Seeing that Chi Jingyuan didn't care, Pei Zhuxuan didn't take it seriously, and instead talked about the thing that impressed her the most when she was recording yesterday: "I met a few, but I just ignored them... Seul and the others Also, by the way, there is also Yilin, don't look at her young age, she is really popular."

"It's like this. On that occasion, we recorded together for more than ten hours, we ate and rested together, and we sat so close together. It's normal to see each other in such an atmosphere."

"Have you ever met before?" Pei Zhuxuan said a few words and then tried to see her again. In fact, she was most interested in this, and what she wanted to know was this.

"Would you like to listen to the truth, or lie?"

Chi Jingyuan was very calm, he raised his legs and swayed, and didn't find it difficult to answer this question at all.

"What do you say? (winks)"

"Nonsense, I still need to ask, of course I have encountered it, and the number is beyond your imagination."

"Cut, I knew it!"

"I know you still ask?"

"Hmph, just ask."

…………

While having a fun chat with Pei Zhuxuan and feeling the squeamishness under the young lady's face, Chi Jingyuan not only completed the daily work, but also seriously carried out the final practice with Li Zhien and Zheng Hengdon. The songs are very satisfying and the expectations are high. At the same time, I have worked hard to prepare for such a long time, and it is impossible to miss at the last and most critical place.

But speaking of it, ever since Zhou Ziyu asked him what song he was going to sing in "Singing Ballad Festival" that day, and he replied perfunctorily, there was strangely no sound afterwards, and I don't know if he was being stingy or something. There was no contact between the two for several days.

And two days passed in a blink of an eye, until August 13th, the day when the last concert of "Infinite Challenge Song Festival" was held, and the day of serious preparations for many days finally came to the day.

Because the location of the event and recording is not in Seoul, but in normal times, Chi Jingyuan got up early today, and after a brief tidying up, he took a nanny car and drove nearly two hours to the scene.

After the MC and guests gathered and prepared, at about half past nine, everyone stood on the grass outside the venue.

"Yao Luoben, all the audience, Aniha Sai."

"Unlimited challenge!"

Facing the camera, the MC and the guests together stood in a long row of 15 people. They first bowed and saluted to say hello, and then under the leadership of Liu Jae-shik, they shouted the slogan of Wuchao and made a sign sexual action.

Although the focus of this issue is the concert, there are also many other things to be recorded, including pre-hosting, chatting, stage construction, rehearsals and other scenes, plus the final performance, which together constitute this year's "Infinite Challenge Song Festival" "The last core issue.

Chi Jingyuan was dressed in a casual patterned short-sleeve paired with denim trousers. He stood on the left side of the team, and Li Zhien followed Liu Zaishi's field control. Because the sun was a bit glaring at this time, he even wore a baseball cap for shade.

"Ah Qingjia! The 50-day Great Long March is finally coming to an end today. I really don't know how the time passed."

"How is everyone's preparations going? Wuli Jingyuan?" Liu Zaishi, who was in the middle, had small but bright eyes under the black-rimmed glasses. He looked around and presided over the recording of the show.

"Well, preparations for the performance went well."

Chi Jingyuan, who was caught by the cue, pulled down the brim of his hat, stretched out his hand and gestured: "As of this morning, the condition has been pretty good."

"Why until this morning?"

"Because as soon as I came here, I immediately became nervous when I saw such a large venue and the audience waiting outside..."

The camera gave a close-up, his eyes were on his face, Chi Jingyuan squinted his eyes, pointed to the performance venue behind him, and then pointed to the audience queuing outside the venue: "Now my legs are shaking a little."

He was taken aback when he came in the morning. There was a long line outside the venue where the Song Festival concert was held. The temporary shed stretched along the road for a kilometer or two. When he came in by car At a glance, it was full of people, and it was impossible to count how many there were.

After coming here, I heard from the people in the program group that according to their statistics, there are already more than 20,000 people queuing outside at this time. When you get here, put up a tent and wait here.

While it is surprising that the audience is so enthusiastic and crazy, it is also somewhat moving and stressful.

Although they did this, there are some reasons why this song festival concert is free for the whole audience, and even the food and drink are free, but it also shows that this year's song festival is really hot, the heat, discussions, the number of audience and enthusiasm Far beyond previous years.

"Ah, indeed, there are already 20,000 people outside..."

After hearing the words, Liu Zaishi was also quite emotional. After introducing the situation outside, he pulled everyone together and shouted: "In this scorching heat, we waited regardless of this discomfort. Once again, to the audience who came to the celebration, Sincere thanks."

"Kangsang Mita!" Everyone saluted at the same time.

After bowing, Liu Zaishi turned to the next topic: "Then, by now, the team names of all the cooperative teams have already been decided?"

"Yeah." HAHA nodded, pointing at ZION.T: "We are 'so hot and warm'."

"Where are these two?" Liu Zaishi looked at Yin Shang and Zheng Junhe.

"Shang Junhe!"

"OK, Shang Junhe, what's your name for IU xi?"

"It's not like a reason." In front of the camera, Li Zhien was not as grand as when he was drinking in private two days ago. He looked a little shy and said the name of their group.

Chi Jingyuan smiled, but sighed helplessly in his heart. ,

Every group has to think of a name, and the same is true for their three-person group. He actually thought of several cool group names before, but after he said it, he was denied by the other two, and ended up messing around. , came up with such a ridiculous group name that hurts the literary style.

This name was thought of by Li Zhien.

Although it sounds ugly, it doesn't matter, anyway, it's just a day like today.

Except for them, Wu He's group hasn't decided on a name until now. After everyone randomly arranged a group name for them, the recording weight here is almost enough. After Liu Zaishi shouted "Infinite Challenge Lingdong Expressway Song Festival, the stage is open", everyone followed the camera and entered the venue for today's performance.

The venue for today's concert is quite large, with a capacity of more than 30,000 spectators. I heard that this is also one of the venues used for the Winter Olympics skiing competition in a few years.

The entire stage and all the equipment were temporarily built on site. The program team has been busy with it since a few days ago, and it has not been completed until now, but basically there are still some equipment left. There are still eight or nine hours before the performance starts, and there is still plenty of time.

After browsing the entire venue and visiting the stage, today's rehearsal officially started.

There is no backstage behind the stage, the lounge is indoors in the middle of the venue, and during the rehearsal, except for the performers, all the other guests sat in the shed directly below the stage, facing the VJ with a camera next to him, filming Various reactions.

Facing other people's rehearsals, this is also the first official appearance of the songs of this song festival. Of course, other people have to give all kinds of reactions such as surprise, joy, praise, etc., doing shows is like this, reciprocating courtesy, blowing some rainbow farts to each other, Viewers love to watch it too.

Although it was a bit hot, he watched the other groups rehearsing on the stage with interest during the preparation period. He didn't pay much attention to it before. This was the first time he saw the songs and stages of other groups in this song festival. After a while, I felt that the quality of this song festival was really good, and the songs of each group sounded very distinctive.

For example, Park Jin Young and Yoo Jae Suk's "Im Sexy" performance was really interesting. He couldn't help laughing and clapping all the time watching it. It was the most sincere and sincere reaction from just now to now.

There are also songs by the band zion.T and hyukoh, it can be seen that they are made with great care.

Don't look at the combination of Ji Jingyuan and IU that is the most anticipated and concerned by all outside audiences. This time the song festival exploded and they also have a lot of credit. But so far, the final song has not yet been officially performed. The ones who gained the most from this show are actually zion.T and hyukoh.

These two groups of people showed their faces fiercely by relying on this year's popular ballad festival. Although these two groups of people could not be said to be unknown before, they were a little niche, but they were very popular in their own small circle, but This time, because they participated in the song festival, they directly stepped out of the small circle, and their popularity among passers-by and the people rose sharply during this time. It can be said that they became popular in just one month.

Zion.T released the single "Yanghua Bridge" in September last year. The response was mediocre at the time of its release. In the core, "Yanghua Bridge" made a crazy counterattack on the music source chart, directly rushed to the top of the chart, and became one of the hottest songs nowadays.

Not only passers-by are listening, many artists and even many variety shows often cue to this song during this period.

Chi Jingyuan also went to listen to this song, it was really good.

After "Ryan", it was the turn of "Rooftop Room". After the rehearsal of "Rooftop Room", after the other MCs and guests cheered and rainbow farts, the trio of Chi Jingyuan sat in the shed below , taking the stage video taken by the assistant just now and studying it to see if there is any room for improvement.

"It doesn't look like a problem overall, after all, I have practiced so many times..."

"However, I think there can be more impromptu interactions to stir up the atmosphere... For example, here, when I get to this part, I give IU xi a high five, and the effect should be very good."

"I think so too, just do it!"

After a whole round of rehearsals, it was noon, and everyone took a short break to enter lunch time. Chi Jingyuan sat in the shed, holding the hamburger provided by the program group, and eating with some difficulty.

Not because it was unpalatable, but because it was too hot and stuffy.

The open-air venue has this problem. Without the help of air-conditioning, it is easy to be affected by the temperature. Today's temperature is already high, and it just rained for a few minutes. Stuffy and damp, people feel uncomfortable.

Moreover, they still set up seats and sheds on the grass, and there are often small insects like grasshoppers jumping around, which is quite disgusting to watch.

Chi Jingyuan really hates bugs.

"Jing Yuan, drink some ice water."

Seeing that Chi Jingyuan was sweating and panting, and looking hot and uncomfortable, his assistant Cui Zhichang hurried to pick it up and was handed over by ice water.

"Thank you bro."

Chi Jingyuan thanked him, took it directly and took a big gulp, exhaled comfortably, feeling that his vitality had returned a lot.

Having no appetite, Chi Jingyuan didn't want to eat any more after barely swallowing a hamburger. He took out a small electric fan and blew it on himself. At the same time, he took out his phone and checked to see if there was any news today and if anyone had sent a message.

It's just that he just turned on his phone, and when he saw the top push content of a news item, all his attention was immediately diverted:

"Singer and actor Lee Seung Gi and Girls' Generation's Yoona end their 22-month relationship and announce their breakup"

"It was confirmed by Girls' Generation's management company SM: 'The members Lim YoonA and Lee Seung Gi got together less and more because of work. It is true that they broke up, but they will continue to get along with each other with a good relationship between senior and junior."
