Chapter 372 Survival Draft
Even though the shooting progress of the personal preview was very fast, the time was a little bit rushed. When I arrived in Seoul by plane in the early morning of the 21st, I still hadn’t settled for the scene shooting in Europe. After attending the award ceremony, I guess it would be I have to do it again.

However, Ji Jingyuan, Kim Minxi and other members who have finished filming their personal trailers don’t need to follow, they just need to wait until later to go to Xiaguo Yunnan to shoot the final 9-person combined video.

And while EXO was busy preparing for the shooting of the album teaser video, another piece of exciting news came from the peninsula in the past two days.

This 'countermeasure' is to improve the employment treatment of contract workers similar to the protagonist Zhang Klai in "Misheng", which was broadcast some time ago but has aroused great repercussions on the peninsula.

"Countermeasures" include that employees can receive severance pay if they have been employed for more than three months. The number of appointments is limited to 35 times in 2 years; the payment of unemployment subsidies is extended to 3 months, etc., which are closely related to the personal interests of professionals.

The last episode of "Misheng" had finished broadcasting on the 12th of December last year. The ratings of the last episode broke through the peak of 20%. Excellent, surprising ratings results, even if it is placed on a wireless TV station, it can be regarded as quite satisfactory.

And the most important "Misaeng" has caused huge social repercussions during its broadcast period until now, which is far beyond what ordinary TV dramas can match. This special project for the [-]th anniversary of tvN's opening can be said to have achieved great success.

Originally, because of the end of the broadcast, the popularity has dissipated a lot, but as soon as the news came out, the finished "Misheng" was on the hot search again along with the new regulations, and it came into the field of vision of many people again.

This is another example of changing laws or regulations and finally bringing actual benefits to vulnerable groups after movies such as "The Melting Pot" and "The Defender", because the film and television works revealed real social problems and attracted the attention of the government. Excited fans of the drama called it the "Unborn" effect, and for a while it aroused netizens' enthusiasm for discussing this drama again, and discussions on the Internet were in full swing.

Among the drama reviews of "Misheng" on the largest film and television website, the comment that was ranked the highest quoted the news of the launch of "comprehensive countermeasures for irregular jobs". The value lies in surpassing all drama reviews', which has won the approval of countless netizens.

This TV series pioneered the workplace drama of Peninsula Film and Television and produced a huge response. It brought great glory and considerable benefits to the main creators and many leading actors. Although it has ended, its influence is still spreading.

For Chi Jingyuan, in addition to the benefits that are visible to the naked eye, the biggest gain of participating in this drama is that he has greatly improved his reputation among the white-collar office workers of the [-]th and [-]th generations of the peninsula. Reputation.This group itself basically doesn't pay attention to idol groups at all. It is very difficult for ordinary idols or actors to gain popularity among them, but this time Chi Jingyuan relied on "Misheng" The leading actor Zhang Klai did it.

Although these passer-by drama fans may not pay much attention to EXO, nor will they buy any albums, but Chi Jingyuan's influence is really engraved on it, in terms of his overall image improvement, as well as commercials and endorsements It has been of great help to me, and the many cases I have received continuously during the TV series broadcast and after the end are the best proof.

This time they were obviously in Europe, but they were led by a TV series that had already ended and were hotly discussed for a few days, which is considered lucky. It is a good sign for them who are closely preparing for their comeback.

After returning to Seoul, they had a rest for the night. In the morning of the next day, all members of EXO went to the meeting room of the SM building. The company announced the news and general plan of EXO's second world tour this year.

Originally EXO’s second tour was already in the scope of the company’s discussion, and I heard that the beginning was actually very early. I wanted to confirm it at the end of last year, but the company officially confirmed the official second tour of XO. After returning to the mode, the concert plan was postponed for a while. After all, this time EXO’s new song will be released in four months. There was no essential difference from last year's tour.

The company said in the meeting that the time for the second tour is expected to be in April and May. At present, the overall performance process of the concert has not been fully determined, and several production meetings will be held with the stage effect planning company to discuss. All EXO members are required to participate and put forward their own opinions,
Concerts are the favorite itinerary for the idol group of the Peninsula, because to a certain extent, most of them are based on overseas concerts, and every member of EXO is very happy to be able to start the second tour. Bobo participated in many discussions.

But it didn't take long for them to be happy. After the meeting, they went back to practice dancing in the practice room in the afternoon. It didn't take long for them to be severely taught by the teacher again.

"Yuan, and DO, why don't you put your hands in the right position in this hip thrusting action, and always put your fist on the leg next to you, do you feel embarrassed to do this kind of action? Then what about doing a more mature and sexy dance? "

In the practice room, a group of EXO had just finished dancing the title song, panting slightly and sitting on the floor next to the wall, while the dance teacher and manager stood in the middle, frowning and getting angry.

Chi Jingyuan didn't look down at the floor after being called, but just pouted slightly, without speaking.

The choreography of the song "call me baby" is very characteristic and handsome. There are no problems in other aspects, but the choreography of pushing the hips is a little too much. Every time the rhythm or formation is switched, the hips should be pushed once. .

Chi Jingyuan was a little unimpressed with this movement. Once or twice was okay, but he felt a little awkward after going through too much of the whole process. Later, he simply clenched his fists next to him while jumping, and his hands were out of position.

Do Kyungsoo, who had always felt uncomfortable, immediatly imitated the example, the two of them acted a little differently from others every time.

But to be honest, Chi Jingyuan thinks that after a small change, this action is quite handsome, not worse than the previous hip-topping.

The dance teacher saw that the two of them didn't talk, and didn't criticize them too much. The action of pushing the hips was a small problem. Even if it wasn't standard, it didn't look too abrupt. He quickly locked his eyes on the two members sitting in the middle again, with an expression on his face. And the tone suddenly became strict:

"Suho, and Baekhyun, are you unable to dance this crab-step choreography? Aixi, how many times have I told you that you can't change it? The MV is about to be filmed, and it still looks like this. Do you want to watch it? Just started practicing the dance of the new song and are you ready to get by like this?"

"It's still like this after so long, did you guys do it on purpose? Have you practiced hard?"

The dance teacher and manager seemed very angry. During this period of time, EXO has not only practiced "call me baby", the rest of "Spring Day" and "love me right" and several non-core songs with choreography They have all started practicing.

In fact, the preparations for "call me baby" have come to an end. Immediately after the personal teaser is over, the MV, makeup photos and pictorials will be shot, and then the final preparations for the comeback will start while practicing other songs.

It’s just that up to now, "call me baby" is still an old problem, and the other parts have already been very proficient and very good, but the last part of the crab dance is still unsatisfactory, especially Kim Junmyeon and Byun Baekhyun , It’s almost as if you are deliberately against the teacher. From the beginning to now, you have taught them several times, but you still can’t change your own way.

"The MV will be filmed next week, what do you guys want to do?" Lee Seung-hwan also lost his temper rarely, criticizing the usually reliable captain.

The entire practice room was very quiet, the slight panting just now could no longer be heard, only the stern reprimand lingered in the period, and the atmosphere in the whole room was a bit dignified.

As for Kim Junmian and Byun Baekhyun, one stared at the texture of the floor and the other played with his fingers. They didn't reply but their faces were also very ugly.

After scolding for a while, the two left a few harsh words and walked out first, leaving EXO to practice in the practice room by himself.
"Is this movement so difficult?" After the dance teacher and manager left, it took a while for Park Chanyeol to take the initiative to break the stiff breath, but his tone was slightly complaining, but it made everyone's emotions a bit complicated when he stopped in their ears. .

Chi Jingyuan glanced at this brother from the corner of his eye, and thought it was quite interesting.

In the last part of the crab dance, Park Chanyeol's dance is actually very ordinary, with rigid movements, but Kim Junmyeon and Byun Baekhyun are too conspicuous, covering up this brother.

In fact, Chi Jingyuan thinks that this dance move is not too difficult, but it requires a little more balance and rhythm of the body, and I don't know why these guys can't dance well all the time.

"...let's practice" Everyone was silent for a while, Jin Junmian stood up and said something, saw that other members also got up, and then went to the sound system to play the accompaniment, and the nine formed and started to dance again .

The muffled sound of the soles stepping on the floor, the panting during violent beating, and the dynamic music accompaniment mixed together, making the air in the entire practice room a little dull.

EXO is really busy recently, not only busy with the new album such as dance practice, recording, filming preview, etc., they also have to do some commercial promotion and filming, even Park Chanyeol, Do Kyungsoo and Baekhyun The lead actor also has to take care of the filming of the web drama "My Neighbor is EXO", so he is very tired every day and has to go to bed very late.

It’s just that as the comeback date is getting closer, but there are always some unsatisfactory things happening now, which makes EXO, who is a little out of balance because of this very important comeback for the group, seem even more anxious .

They didn't stop practicing until dinner time. Everyone wiped off their sweat and drank some water before going to eat. When Chi Jingyuan and others were going out together, Do Kyungsoo turned around and saw Kim Junmyeon and Baekhyun drinking. After finishing the water, he stood in the middle of the practice room, and asked curiously as if he was about to continue dancing, "Brother, are you going to eat?"

"...You guys go first, let's practice for a while." Bian Boxian remained silent while Jin Junmian forced a smile and waved at them.

They also know that these two brothers are in a bad mood. First, it is really embarrassing to be taught in public, and second, this comeback is too important, and they actually don't want to hold back.

Chi Jingyuan glanced at the two of them, didn't persuade them much, just nodded and said: "Then we'll bring you some back later."

After making gestures to Jin Junmian and the others, Chi Jingyuan and the others closed the door and left for dinner.In the practice room, only Jin Junmian and Bian Baekhyun were left walking sideways in the room, dancing the crab step from left to right over and over again.

Because there was something to do at night, Chi Jingyuan and the three found a restaurant nearby to deal with it, and came back after eating in a while. Wu Shixun took the fried noodles, bibimbap and miso soup for them. He opened the door and walked in, but seeing that the two brothers were still practicing, he didn't intend to eat at all, so he pursed his lips and put the food on the floor next to him, and Chi Jingyuan, who was following behind, glanced at it Afterwards, he didn't speak, walked in and sat on the floor, took out his mobile phone and recalled the news. When he just came back, he received a text message from Zhou Ziyu:
"Our company seems to be launching a new girl group!"

Ji Jingyuan is not surprised to see this news. JYP is in such a dying situation. Last year's girl group project was stranded due to various reasons. The results of GOT7's debut are far from being successful. If there is no It is estimated that the action will soon fall out of the ranks of the "Big Three" in the music industry.

Zhou Ziyu's face seemed to appear in front of his eyes. After thinking for a while, he tapped the screen to reply, and smiled while sending: "What does it have to do with you?"

Chi Jingyuan could imagine that Zhou Ziyu would feel a little upset after seeing this reply, maybe he was wrinkling his nose and looking at the screen right now.

Sure enough, she quickly replied in succession:

"(angry!)"

"Why are you doing this? It doesn't matter! I've been practicing for so long!"

"I heard from a friend that our company seems to be holding a survival talent show for female trainees. The seniors who were in the debut group of the girl group 6mix before seem to have gotten the news, and they are practicing hard recently... …It’s just that the rest of us haven’t been officially notified.”

'Survival talent show'

Chi Jingyuan looked at this and read it silently, and he understood it.

Although it is quite new, it is not the first time that this kind of program has introduced newcomers. Last year, YG’s rookie boy group winner made their debut by relying on the survival competition variety show "WIN:WHO IS NEXT" launched by the company itself.

For newcomers launched in this way, if the ratings of the show are good, they can gain a group of fixed fans and exposure before they debut, which is a very beneficial method for newcomers.

But speaking of it, Chi Jingyuan remembered that Zhou Ziyu seemed to be a trainee in Peninsula at the end of 12 or early 13, so she has practiced for more than two years, and there is no problem with her debut at this practice time.

I just don't know how strong she is, but when chatting, I often hear Zhou Ziyu boasting to him there. Every day, she has made great progress, and the teacher praised her. It should be pretty good.

Unless it's all her bragging.

Based on this calculation, it is time for Zhou Ziyu to make her debut, but she has always been a bit of a brat in Chi Jingyuan's impression. Suddenly facing this fact squarely made him a little unresponsive for a while. Yu linked up with idol who debuted.

"Then when will your company choose the right person for that program?" After thinking for a while, he turned back.

"I don't know yet, it should be soon."

"I'll do my best!"

Two more posts in a row, it can be seen that Zhou Ziyu is quite excited to know the news.

With a chuckle, Chi Jingyuan also cheered up the little girl:

"Then come on! If you are selected, I invite you to dinner."

"Hee hee, then it's done! I want to eat delicious food then!"

"You are so fat, you will be exposed as soon as you try it, and you still want to debut..."

…………

The 24th Seoul Music Awards was officially held on the evening of January 1nd at the Seoul Olympic Park Gymnastics Stadium. The reason why EXO interrupted the European filming trip was to come back early to participate in this awards ceremony.

At this time, the ceremony has already started, and all the idol artists present are sitting in the artist seats directly below the stage. This time, the artist seats are designed with round tables, and each round table sits a group or several groups of idols. And a solo singer.

Chi Jingyuan was wearing a dark blue straight suit, and was sitting at the second table in the middle with EXO. From the beginning to now, the camera has been cut to them many times. The on-site PD and director obviously understand the essence of holding a party. Tip: As long as the scene is cold, give the camera to EXO.

On their left, the outermost table is this year's newcomer GOT7, and the table in front is the seniors from the same company, SJ's Eunhyuk and Donghae, and Shinee's Taemin, the seniority cards of these three brothers Still big, three people occupied a table.

On the right are Girls' Generation TTS and red velvet, while Apink, AOA, beast and other artists are farther away.

The lineup of guests present today is very luxurious, and the fans who are packed with seats are also very hard-working and screaming for support. Whether it is the design of the stage and artist seats, as well as the overall atmosphere in the venue, it is better than the Golden Record Awards a few days ago. Being in place also made this awards ceremony a lot more formal.

Moreover, the number of Ariel present was clearly superior, as long as the big screen cut to the pleasant screams of EXO members, there would be a response, and the atmosphere in the venue would be ignited instantly.

Coincidentally, today's MC is still an old acquaintance, Jun Hyun Moo and Leeteuk paired with Sistar's Soyou, the former two brothers do not know why they are so favored by the organizers of major award ceremonies, Ji Jingyuan from the end of 14 to the beginning of 15 Have met them many times on such occasions.

At this time, the award presenters on stage are presenting the newcomer awards. There are three groups of artists who won the newcomer awards this year. The first two groups of got7 and Eddy Kim have already received the awards, and now the last one is being presented.

I don't know why the winner with the best debut performance didn't come, obviously it couldn't be them.

Normally speaking, with the winner's performance, he would definitely be able to win the rookie award. I don't know how their company YG communicated with the organizer.

Chi Jingyuan propped his elbows on the table, resting his chin on the back of his hands, and looked at the big screen lazily. He didn't seem to be very worried, but he glanced around and found that Jin Junmian and Park Chanyeol who were at the same table were almost Everyone looked very nervous at this time, they put their hands together around their mouths and closed their eyes slightly as if praying. They looked more anxious and worried than the red velvet candidates at the next table, which made Chi Jingyuan momentarily I also don't know what to say.

Brother, did the family romance play out a little bit?Or are you two sitting at the wrong table?
"The final newcomer award is..."

“Red velvet thick camida!”

Following the loud announcement of the award presenters, the audience cheered with pride. Jin Junmian and Park Chanyeol even jumped up, cheered, laughed and applauded happily, making Chi Jingyuan think that these two seemed to be going directly. It's like walking up to receive an award.

Speechless, he also stood up with a smile and applauded lightly, watching Lede Beibei and the others standing up in surprise, bowing and saluting to the senior next to him, Pei Zhuxuan and Chi Jingyuan who applauded He returned the same glance, blinked his eyes lightly, and turned around. In the words of MC's introduction, he walked briskly up to the podium with the members.

"Thanks to Teacher Li Xiuman, our staff, and the seniors who have been supporting us and giving us advice, and our parents who are watching TV..."

As the captain, Pei Zhuxuan had obviously prepared before, and expressed his gratitude very skillfully, but he paused suddenly after speaking, as if he was a little hesitant.

After a pause of less than a second, she quickly continued to thank her, and at the same time glanced vaguely in the direction of the artist seat: "Also...always by my side...always by our side, let me, we realize that we are Lovers... red velvet fans, thank you very much."

She didn't seem to be ready for this part of the speech, and it was obviously stuck, and the subject changed in the middle, as if to avoid suspicion or to look more natural, specifically changing from "I" to "we".

But the audience didn't think there was anything unusual, at most they thought she might be a little nervous.

It's just that Chi Jingyuan seemed to feel something, leaning on the back of the chair, pursing his lips and smiling, looking at the girls on the stage, knowing it in his heart, but couldn't help but complain.

Although what Pei Zhuxuan said was very sincere and touching, her makeup today is honestly a bit average. The long black hair that sticks to the scalp looks weird, not as good-looking as her own private server hairstyle.

Cody is fully responsible.
