Peninsula Asteroid

"Very good, thanks for your hard work."

The staff sent by SM in advance are all the company's elites, and they are still very reliable in their work. Chi Jingyuan asked a few more questions about the preparation work. After knowing that there were no problems, he nodded in satisfaction, and after a word of praise, he started Last reminder before shooting:

"As I said before, the theme of this MV is 'Find Yourself'. There will be two Taeyeons in the MV, one represents a dream, free and pure Taeyeon, and the other represents reality, hard work and hard work. Yan, in addition to the two main colors of black and white to distinguish the clothing, I need the former to have brighter makeup, and the latter to be a little more mature and dark, is it okay?" He looked at the couple who accompanied the team this time. A makeup artist cody.

"Guess, there's no problem." Sister Cody gestured, indicating that it was just a small case.

"The plot of the MV is very simple. It is a dream that Taeyeon conveys signals through butterflies, awakening the real Taeyeon who is working hard for a living and being made things difficult by the bar owner, and makes her embark on the pursuit of her own dream. Dream and freedom, find the self I once hoped for, and finally meet an ideal and beautiful self..."

"Also, it's already been confirmed. I won't let you show your face during the rap stage. It's all about the scenery and close-ups of Taeyeon." Speaking of this, Chi Jingyuan specifically mentioned it. He only confirmed this idea not long ago. What came down, some people don't know yet.

"Are you sure you don't show your face?" Taeyeon only knew it, and looked at him in surprise.

As the feat and producer of the song "I", in the previous MV's idea, Chi Jingyuan would specially appear in the rap stage, with a handsome rap in the blurred background, which not only expresses his feat identity, but also It can be regarded as using my own popularity to add some heat and gimmicks to this MV.

But this idea was rejected by Chi Jingyuan himself.

"Well, I won't be in the rap part. The insertion of the rap in this song is a bit blunt. At the same time, this section is placed at the beginning. If I appear just after you guide me, it will make people feel very blunt. There will also be a sense of distraction... I think it is more appropriate to overdo it with the scenery and your close-up, and I believe that your fans, they would rather look at you than at me."

Chi Jingyuan nodded, and explained it seriously. After the few people he knew just now accepted it, he continued: "But it's not completely faceless, I will work in Taeyeon xi In the bar, she plays a cameo as a waiter, who will appear in the form of side and background in several shots, and will have a high-five interaction with her..."

"Also, when Taeyeon Xi decides to resign and leave, there will be a shot taken from outside the bar, and I will look at your back with surprised and envious eyes until you leave..."

"..." Closing her eyes and imagining the scene, Kim Taeyeon nodded her chin and looked over in amazement: "It sounds very good, but isn't there a little less scene?"

"There are rarely only two or three shots, but it is enough. After all, this is your MV and I am just a cameo, and I think this kind of small easter egg appearance is the most surprising to fans and audiences. It is better than singing out to disrupt the rhythm. , will leave a deeper impression on people.”

Chi Jingyuan smiled and waved his hands. He also felt that the plot and scene he had set up were much more exciting than showing his face and singing rap before.

"For Jin Zhixiong Xi, I'll just make a guest appearance as a customer who is spending money at the bar. Then I will give a special shot. It's very simple and doesn't require any acting skills..."

"I took a look at the scenery I took before. The effect is good, but there are still some shortcomings. Let's divide into two groups later, and one group will continue to shoot the scenery. Except for those iconic police officers, the focus is on the aerial photography taken by drones. shot, and the other group went to the rented bar to shoot the scene..."

After confirming all the preparations, they began to assign tasks, and finally Chi Jingyuan clapped his hands and made a final summary: "This time the MV has very little plot, just to express the theme and core, The most important thing is the close-up of the scenery and Taeyeon, to fully show the beauty of the scenery and the beauty of the people."

"My hope is that the final product we shoot, whether it's a person or a scene, every frame, every pause, every screenshot, can be used as a poster."

"Fighting!"

...

Shooting the MV in Auckland, a foreign country, is of course not as comfortable as in the local studio in Seoul. If the staff had not hired two local tour guides to guide them, they would not know the way to go.

And fortunately, New Zealand speaks English. Apart from Chi Jingyuan, the staff of SM has almost no communication problems, which is a lot more convenient.

The other group carried a camera and took a drone to take pictures of the scenery, while Chi Jingyuan was shooting the plot. The shooting location was rented by them before. On Kingsland Xinbei Road, a family named Two-story wet bar at 'Portland Apartments'.

What made him a little excited was that he was recognized by someone after he got here. Several passers-by were surprised to see him and called out the name of 'XO' and 'Yuan'. They were in love with each other before the filming started. Come up and ask for an autograph.

I can see my fans in New Zealand. Although there are not many of them, it also makes Chi Jingyuan feel an unspeakable sense of excitement and satisfaction.

But at this moment, his mood was not so good, because they encountered a little problem with the filming.

"stop……"

The filming team surrounded the entrance of the bar, Chi Jingyuan looked at the clip just shot, frowned and commented: "It's still a bit ordinary..."

They are currently filming the scene where Kim Taeyeon decides to pursue herself, resigns from the bar, and leaves the bar relaxed and unrestrained, but Ji Jingyuan feels that it is not in place after taking several shots, no matter how concave this sister Kim Taeyeon is, she walks on catwalks , There is no feeling of 'breaking out of a cocoon and becoming a butterfly'.

"Do you want to change your hairstyle?" Kim Taeyeon, who had already walked several times in a row, stood by and watched, and at the same time raised her opinion with her eyes wide open.

"Um……"

From the corner of the eye, he glanced at the assistant who was holding a DV and was filming extras, Chi Jingyuan pondered for a few seconds, then shook his head: "Try again, this time walk a little slower."

Although this sister's shape and makeup are very beautiful now, she still doesn't have that kind of feel,

SM company is enjoying the sweetness now. No matter what job they do, no matter whether it is public or not, they always arrange special personnel to follow behind to take pictures, and this time Kim Taeyeon's solo is no exception.

Everyone reset and started again, Taeyeon slammed the door hard, walked out of the bar, and walked to the designated place step by step under the close-up shooting of the camera.

"How is it?" After calling cut, she trotted over and stood beside the monitor.

"Still normal."

Chi Jingyuan replied but didn't raise his head. He continued to stare at the monitor, looked at the samples just shot, pursed his lips and lost himself in thought.

And the few people next to him, including Kim Taeyeon's manager, Jin Zhixiong, etc., all looked at each other in dismay. Although they thought the shot was already great and beautiful, they couldn't see anything 'ordinary', but I dare not make a sound at all.

Chi PD will do what he says.

"so……"

Staring at the monitor for a while, Chi Jingyuan seemed to think of something, raised his eyebrows, looked at Kim Taeyeon and said with some surprise: "Nu Na, you will come out later, halfway through, put the hair on your braid Take off the hoop, let the hair spread out, then shake the head, flick the hair, and flick it a few times, anyway, it's how handsome, how it looks..."

"Um, OK, I understand." Taeyeon froze for a moment, then quickly nodded to show that it's okay, this kind of handsome and stinking is not difficult for her.

Immediately afterwards, Chi Jingyuan looked at VJ and explained: "At this time, we will give two shots, one close shot and one medium shot."

"OK, do it again."

Personnel reset, re-shoot.

But this time, when Taeyeon slammed the door out of the bar and walked on the sidewalk in Yanbian, crossing the scattered but busy crowd retrogradely, she took off the headband tied to her braid.

Seeing that Zhi took off his headband in the camera, his golden-gray hair spread out brilliantly, and as his head swayed from side to side like a brocade blowing in the wind, he seemed to break free from the cage of reality, swaying all over his body with ease, Chi Jingyuan's eyes lit up for Kim Taeyeon, who exuded wanton charm, and he couldn't help clenching his fists, and secretly shouted in his heart.

Nice! That's what it feels like.

Not only him, but the other onlookers in the team also had their eyes lit up, a sense of amazement suddenly rose in their hearts, they felt that Kim Taeyeon was a bit outrageous at this time, and at the same time felt a little surprised, just took off his hair Hoops, brushed hair, the feeling of shooting, the style revealed immediately changed.

Like Taeyeon's manager, he looked at Chi Jingyuan's back with surprised eyes from behind.

As expected of Chi PD, he really has skills.

"This time it was really good..."

Seeing Kim Taeyeon walking over after the filming stopped, Ji Jingyuan smiled and applauded, and greeted him.

No matter what others say, Chi Jingyuan is really satisfied with this shot.

It can be regarded as the most outstanding shot in the entire MV shooting so far.

Kim Taeyeon's sister was so good-looking in his photos, she couldn't do without inviting him to dinner when she went back.

…………

The filming in New Zealand lasted for two days. Because the progress was smooth, it was completed earlier than the scheduled three days. Chi Jingyuan finally took all the team members to see the European and American petty bourgeois commercial streets and restaurants in the Kingsland community at night. After taking some photos at the bar, the whole team also set off for Seoul the next day.

And he also worked overtime in the company with SM's team, and started to work on the last series of work for the "I" album. He was busy in the dark for a few days, and he was relieved until September 17th.

Although he was very tired after being busy for several days in a row, so far some work has finally come to an end, so that Chi Jingyuan, who has been busy for several months, can breathe a sigh of relief, just these two days EXO There are no team activities. Apart from a few personal schedules, he himself has relatively free time. He can take this opportunity to take a short vacation.

After returning to the dormitory at 8 o'clock in the evening, Chi Jingyuan found that half of the entire group was absent, but as he expected, he went to take a shower after saying hello to the other members.

"A rookie boy group's sound source can rank so high, it's menacing."

"And I heard that they directly skipped the debut showcase, and directly held a concert, which seems to be an audience of 10,000 people..."

After Chi Jingyuan changed his clothes and came out of the bathroom, he didn't take two steps towards the living room when he heard some members talking in a strange tone. He wiped his head with a towel and approached, leaning against the armrest of the sofa Looking at the few people next to him, he asked curiously, "What are you talking about?"

Apart from him, there are only three people in the dormitory, Jin Zhongda, Jin Junmian, and Wu Shixun. They are all sitting on the sofa watching TV and chatting, and they don't know what topic they are so interested in.

"I'm talking about ikon, the rookie boy group that debuted the day before yesterday." Jin Zhongda raised his head and glanced at him: "Jing Yuan, haven't you heard of it?"

"I've heard of it, you're a monster newcomer."

Chi Jingyuan flipped his hair twice, and said naturally.

On September 15th, YG's rookie boy group ikon released the prelude song "airplane" and officially announced their debut. While ranking at the forefront of the main music charts, it also caused a lot of enthusiasm and repercussions in the peninsula. It has only debuted for two days. In this kind of press release, all kinds of congratulations and bragging from the company's seniors can be seen everywhere, and the popularity and popularity are frighteningly high. It doesn't look like a rookie group at all, and they are directly given the title of 'monster newcomer'.

What best reflects this title is that they did not hold a debut showcase, but directly scheduled to hold a 'debut concert' on October 3rd, which was a venue with more than 10,000 people, which is truly unique in the peninsula music industry.

This kind of real box office hit was even more astonishing than the previous monster rookies who got one in 5 days.

However, Chi Jingyuan didn't care much. Every year there would be one or two rookie groups that were very strong when they debuted, but this kind of rookie group didn't have a few hit songs to help them, and they didn't have the accumulation of popularity over the years, so it was difficult to treat them What threat does XO pose.

The momentum is very strong, and there is still an essential difference from the real TOP group.

By the way, last year's 5-day winner was also called a monster rookie. They were also YG's boy group. They were very popular at that time, but it seems that Chi Jingyuan hasn't heard from them for a long time.

what's the situation? Disbanded?

"There are also members of ikon who were the champions of last year's "Show Me the Money". I heard that rap is very good." Wu Shixun interjected at this time: "If you are so strong, you can become a rapper and come to be an idol. On the same stage, you won't be trampled by their fans..."

"Kim Jiwon, you forgot what we met backstage at mama in 2014, and Kim Hanbin... Several members of ikon have been active before their debut."

After hearing this, Chi Jingyuan reminded him, then smiled, and sat on the armrest of the sofa very casually: "And even if you are pulled and stepped on, it is you and brother Chanyeol who are the two raps who are ashamed, and who have nothing to do with our lead singer Line What's the matter, isn't it, bro?"

He and Jin Zhongda raised their eyebrows in a tacit understanding with each other, and laughed together: "Our XO lead singer, Line, has never been afraid of anyone, and we won't be the ones who get trampled on."

Compared with the ordinary rap line, EXO's four main vocals can be said to be top-notch among all idol groups.

Wu Shixun was so stunned that he didn't know how to respond. Although Chi Jingyuan also had a rap role on him, if it wasn't for songs with too much rap, he would generally not be assigned to rap arias. Most of them would be Park Chanyeol and him. Sing.

But even though Chi Jingyuan said so, the momentum of ikon does look quite scary, and it is inevitable that XO members will discuss it in private.

"Huh~"

While chatting, Chi Jingyuan watched TV, and found that the same face had appeared in several advertisements in a row, and blinked a little strangely: "Why are they all Jin Xuexuan's CF? When did she become so popular?"

Looking at it this way, he remembered that during the past two days, when he occasionally ran the schedule, he often saw Jin Xuexuan’s posters and advertisements on the road. He didn’t feel that there were so many in the past few months. After returning from the information, he felt that this girl It seemed to catch fire all of a sudden.

"It's been popular for a long time, okay? How long has it been since you paid attention to the news?" Jin Junmian looked over strangely.

"No, I often read the news. I remember that she wasn't so popular before. Didn't FNC keep marketing her as 'Suzy No. 2' in the first half of the year? I bought a lot of drafts, and many people hated her because of this. ..."

Chi Jingyuan was a little puzzled. In his impression, Jin Xuexuan was an ordinary popular member of AOA. The company always wanted to promote it but the effect was not obvious. He didn't expect that he didn't pay attention to it for a few days, and he became so popular.

"Hahaha, why do you always remember these things, but it is true that she is still the 'Second Suzy', and there are quite a lot of people who scold her." Wu Shixun couldn't help laughing when he heard it, thinking that Chi Jingyuan This person is really annoying.

After laughing, he shook his head: "Although it can be seen that a lot of it is part of the company's marketing, but she has indeed become a trend during this period, the resources are very good, she has received a lot of CF, and she can see it on TV every day... And recently her 'human figure stand' became popular, haven't you watched "Late Night TV Interpretation" a few days ago? The picture of Kim Seolhyun cosplaying her own advertising stand has become a hot topic of discussion on the Internet after it was broadcast."

"I did not see……"

He didn't bother to watch this kind of variety show whose name makes people sleepy, but Chi Jingyuan still took out his mobile phone and searched for "human figure standing sign", and nodded after looking at it twice: "The figure is really good."

Although the skin is indeed a little darker, but it can be called sexy and well-proportioned, with a protruding front and a raised back. Combined with that somewhat pure face, it can really make many people's eyes shine.

They are also dark-skinned, and some people can't look at others...

"correct."

Although it's sexy, it's okay to appreciate it. Chi Jingyuan suddenly remembered something, and turned to look at the three members next to him who initiated the invitation: "I don't think there is any schedule tomorrow, right? Do you want to go and see together?" Movie?"

"I have nothing to do, but what movie are you watching? Is there a new blockbuster released recently?" Wu Shixun seemed a little moved when he heard it, and asked, taking out his mobile phone to check.

"I have no schedule..." Jin Zhongda also followed suit.

"You don't need to look it up, I've already thought about it, just watch this year's Doraemon theatrical version, "Nobita's Heroes of the Universe"."

Chi Jingyuan beckoned and waved his hand to signal that they don't need to check, and while making gestures, he enthusiastically introduced Amway to his members: "I wanted to watch this movie a long time ago, but it's a pity that it hasn't been released on the peninsula. I want to go I watched it in the cinema, so I haven't looked for resources... Today is the first day of the show, but I have something to do today... Let's go together tomorrow. I read the film reviews on the forum over there. I heard that the filming is very interesting, and this movie It's still the theatrical version of Doraemon's 35th anniversary, and there should be some surprising easter eggs..."

This movie was released in Neon in March. When he went to see "Jurassic World" with Kim Junmyeon and Wu Sehun, Chi Jingyuan really wanted to see it at that time, but unfortunately he never had the opportunity. Now Finally, it was released on the peninsula.

Chi Jingyuan used both hands and feet, and the two brothers next to him, who were the same age, were watching this animation movie. When he talked about his favorite things, his eyes shone brightly, and he tried hard to think of all kinds of words of praise. Ann, I hope to arouse the interest of my members and let them come and join me.

Unfortunately, his enthusiasm did not get a good return.

"Hahaha……"

Wu Shixun burst out laughing before he finished listening, his tone full of teasing and sarcasm: "I knew...haha, 'Nobita's Heroes of the Universe', the name sounds like a child's reading, or the kind of seven or eight-year-old My kid, my cousin in junior high school is probably not interested, that's you..."

"Hahaha, you really should let your fans know how naive you are... I definitely won't watch it, I might as well sleep in the dormitory to watch this kind of cartoon."

The hanging man finally got a chance to avenge the speechless revenge he had received countless times by Chi Jingyuan before. He slapped his thigh exaggeratedly and forcefully, wishing he could slump back on the sofa, making presumptuous jokes. You can hear it all the way down.

Chi Jingyuan's brows and eyes trembled twice, he didn't bother to pay attention to him, and looked at Jin Junmian.

"Uh, it's good to watch a movie, it's this cartoon..." Jin Zhongda was obviously more tactful, and he made a suggestion with a smile: "How about Jing Yuan, let's change to another one?"

Chi Jingyuan is here for this, if he doesn't watch this, he would rather sleep or play games in the dormitory.

Finally, he looked at Jin Junmian again.

"Sorry, Jing Yuan, I have a schedule tomorrow, and I want to record "Hidden Singer 4"."

Jin Junmian spread his hands to express that he was helpless, but remembering the name "Nobita's Heroes of the Universe", he added a little teasingly: "And even if you are free tomorrow..."

He didn't finish the rest, but of course Chi Jingyuan could understand.

There are 9 people in EXO, but there is no one member who has the same hobbies as him.

Although Chi Jingyuan regrets that the members don't want to watch this cartoon, he certainly won't force it, after all, everyone has different hobbies.

Although his enthusiasm was extinguished by cold water, he was a little disappointed by Amway's failure, but he didn't say any more, nodded and gave up, and glanced at Wu Shixun who was still slapping his legs and laughing. He pouted, lowered his head and picked it up. cell phone.

After thinking about it, although he knew that Pei Zhuxuan was 99% free during the comeback period, he still tentatively sent a message:

"Are you free tomorrow?"

It's a pity, I got a reply very quickly, Pei Zhuxuan has a full day's itinerary tomorrow, red velvet has been crazy busy recently.

As expected.

Chi Jingyuan flipped through the address book, trying to find a familiar person to go with him.

She must be very happy to be called by Pei Xiuzhi, even if she doesn't like any animation theater version at all, she probably doesn't know who is playing in it.

But she went overseas to shoot pictorials in the past two days.

Zhou Ziyu?

Forget it, it's not suitable to ask her out to be alone now, the little brat is honestly preparing to debut.

After looking around for a while, Chi Jingyuan found that there were not many relatives who he could make an appointment to watch a movie with.

Because he is only used to watching movies with people who are close to him, and for some friends who are not very close, it is not very suitable for him to ask others to come out to watch cartoons. After all, there are really few people who like this kind of things like him. .

He won't let him ask Zheng Xiujing, Sun Naen, etc...

never mind.

Chi Jingyuan couldn't be bothered to turn around, so he directly locked the phone screen, and then glanced at the three idiots beside him who actually talked about the topic of 'is it childish to like watching cartoons', the corner of his mouth twitched.

I go by my own!

...

In the morning, in the broadcasting hall of CGV Cinema in Apgujeong, Chi Jingyuan, who just came in, wore a mask and a baseball cap, walked along the aisle with his head down to the last row, and found his seat number in the middle and the back seat down.

This movie theater is the one I visited with Jin Junmian last time, because it is relatively close to their EXO dormitory and company, so Chi Jingyuan chose this place again this time.

Because he didn't want to be recognized, he bought a ticket for the last row.

After glancing at the commercial being broadcast on the big screen, and seeing Jin Seol-hyun appearing miraculously again, he turned his gaze to the theater in front of him noncommittally.

Because it was morning or a weekday, and the movie was probably not very popular, the movie was almost played, and there were only six or seven people in the entire theater, and two were adults with children, all scattered Sitting scattered in the middle and the front, there is a little boy who is still chattering.

And there was no one within three rows around Chi Jingyuan.

This is just right, and I can take off the mask and eat popcorn later.

He first took out his mobile phone to check the time, then turned it to silent, and then sat quietly in his seat and waited for the movie to start. A few minutes later, the advertisement ended. As the screen went black, the lights of the movie theater also dimmed.

And just when he was about to cheer up and start watching the movie, a figure caught up with the last time before the broadcast, walked into the theater from the outside, walked along the side aisle all the way to the last row, and then groped in the dark As he walked forward, he looked for his seat number.

Seeing someone coming, Chi Jingyuan sighed helplessly in his heart. Although it was a little strange that this person also chose the last row, but when the figure walked in, he naturally retracted his legs to make room for her go through.

"Thanks."

At the same time as he walked by, there was a soft thank you sound, if it wasn't for the fact that the surroundings were really quiet except for the barking boy, he really almost didn't hear it.

This person seems to be a woman, not very tall, with a low head and wearing a baseball cap, she can't see her face clearly, but her hair looks like brown or yellow, reflected in the flickering lights.

But why does this voice sound familiar...
