peninsula asteroid.

Chapter 390

"But I don't want to."

Najing Nan's voice was soft and didn't seem to be weak, but his tone seemed a bit firm.

The two Nehong friends looked at each other without saying a word. After more than a year of getting along, they have almost understood that although this fellow could not be seen from the outside, he was actually very assertive in his heart.

It is difficult to change a decision made for something or someone you like. A person who persuaded his family to come to the peninsula alone as a trainee in his teens is a good proof.

After eating, a few people stood up and walked towards the company. They seemed to feel that the atmosphere had become a little silent because of him, but Mingjing Nan put away his depressed look just now, and stretched out his hands from his sleeves to shake his temples. The drooping hair was brushed behind the ears, and the corners of the mouth parted into a smile, with a small amount of flesh showing on the top of the white teeth, and he waved naturally to the two friends next to him:

"Don't keep talking, don't worry about me, I won't talk about it recently..."

"Let's seriously participate in the company's survival audition first. Whether you can make your debut depends on this. I've practiced the opening dance for the past two days. I'm almost exhausted..."

As she changed her mood and took the initiative to adjust, the somewhat dignified atmosphere relaxed. The two friends glanced at her and chatted about the competition.

The figure walked further and further away, but the voice could not be heard clearly.

…………

On March 3, SM Entertainment officially announced through social networking sites that its girl group red velvet will release its first mini-album "ice cream cake" on the 11th of this month, and announced the addition of new member Yeri.

After the announcement was released, it attracted a lot of attention. Time can dilute everything. Last year, when red velvet first debuted, fans from all walks of life gathered together to attack. Now it has been so long and they no longer have the passion to fight at the beginning. After all, several combinations In fact, there were no real contradictions and conflicts before.

Until now, apart from FX fans who still hate Ryder Beibei because of their idol’s past events and current situation, the fandoms of the other companies have almost died down.

That’s not right, EXO’s allies still bring up the vivid Yuan and Irene scandal from time to time in a tone full of sarcasm and contempt, and ridicule this shameless team leader with a condescending attitude.

There are a lot fewer scolding people, and many people have expressed high expectations for the return of Red velvet. After all, it is a new generation of girl group launched by SM company. The company's brand and reputation are here, so red velvet Comes with heat.

Even though the first two debuts and comebacks were not splashy, they are considered a hit on the street, but in fact, whether they are family fans or ordinary passers-by, many people are quite interested in the development of this new girl group, even black people. Fans are concerned about when they will disband, whether this is their last album and other survival issues.

But the interesting thing is that apart from those who are looking forward to the album, there are many people who claim to be red velvet old fans who came out of nowhere and firmly opposed the addition of No.5 member yeri on the Internet. They are very dissatisfied with SM's way of adding people to the group , was emotional, used difficult words, and said a lot of ugly words.

Even Chi Jingyuan was a little puzzled and surprised when he saw it. It turned out that red velvet had so many old fans before. It feels that although the number is far less than that of Aili, it is not much different from those second and third tier groups.

They actually hid it so deeply. I thought they were very confused before. I really underestimated them.

During this period of time, through two weeks of accumulation, EXO, whose comeback has fully taken off this time, is mercilessly harvesting all available music programs and playing songs while carrying out various schedules. .

"This week's "M! countdown" is honored...EXO!"

"Congratulations to EXO! I won the No. [-] hit song on "Music Bank" this week!"

"Today's "Music Center" trophy belongs to...EXO! Crude Kamida!"

"EXO! Chu Kamida, won the first place in "Inkigayo" in the third week of March."

Except for "the show" where EXO still didn't go and the program group didn't give out trophies, all the ones in the other five song-playing programs were completely taken over by EXO, and the comparison of scores was extremely strong. Every time the selection was almost There is no suspense at all, especially in "Music Bank" where the record sales score is relatively dominant, the record score alone has already surpassed the opponent's total score.

By this week, VIXX, the main opponent of last week, has been exhausted and has begun to fall behind. Chi Jingyuan and his opponents have also been replaced by the group Shinhwa that returned at the same time. The response and songs of this senior boy group are really pretty good. Yes, it can be regarded as a very exciting and sincere comeback, and the results have actually exceeded expectations.

It's a pity that EXO ran into EXO in a song playing program that is very important to idols, resulting in no success since the comeback.

Although a trophy cannot fully represent the overall performance of the group's comeback, after all, the gold content of the first place in this year's song is still very high, and the number of won can be very intuitive to tell whether the performance is good or bad. Shown, many fans and passers-by can easily see how this combination is doing.

I can only say that EXO probably didn't expect that "call me baby" could be so strong this time.

……

"Snowflakes are falling."

"It's going away little by little."

"I miss you."

"I miss you."

Today is March 3th, EXO has just finished a week of playing songs and activities, and at this time in the practice room of SM company is playing the title song "Spring Day" of the unreleased single album "X", EXO's nine A member is sweating profusely practicing the dance to this song.

As the title song, even if it is a lyrical song, the company and Ji Jingyuan still choreographed this song for the expressiveness of the stage. Although the movement frequency is not as complicated and intense as "call me baby", it is still It has its own difficulty and characteristics.

Compared with "call me baby"'s fragmented and crisp movements and larger body waves, the choreography of "Spring Day" does not have a large body when dancing, and it is not so intense. characteristics, and attaches great importance to the rhythm, frequency and order of footsteps, especially the chorus part.

Panting and dancing several times in a row, nine people formed a circle under the clapping signal of the dance teacher. Several members took a glance at the VJ who was standing in the corner of the practice room, and then turned their eyes back and began to concentrate Listen to the instructions of the dance teacher.

Just like what Chi Jingyuan said to that fan during the raid on Hanlin Yigao campus before, because the behind-the-scenes editing of the regular series "XOXO" was released and the response was very good. The newly popular EXO played a very good role in solidifying fans, so this time the regular second album of SM repeats the old tricks. From the very beginning of preparation and planning, EXO includes recording, dancing, resting in private, being criticized, and even During the meeting, there will be a VJ on the side to shoot.

Chi Jingyuan and the others have already gotten used to it.

"I have already emphasized the key points of the stage. There are not too many difficulties in choreography. The most important thing is the rhythm of the steps."

The dance teacher stood in the middle and commented on their practice just now: "Especially the chorus part, in the second section of the chorus, there were two consecutive large-scale movements on the stage as a whole, from left to right, and then from right to left. Whether the dance is neat or not will greatly affect the overall effect of the stage."

"As I said before, when moving in a large group in a circle, the members in the center should be used as the base point, and their positions should be used to judge whether your tempo is correct. The first round is Yuan, and the second round is Yuan. Suho, the third time is Yuan, the formation must be neat, neither fast nor slow, follow the rhythm, don't rush the fastest or fall to the end alone."

The teacher pointed out the current problems of EXO very sharply, and the members listened very carefully.

In fact, Chi Jingyuan and the others of the song "Spring Day" have been practicing for a long time. They have been working hard and even learned earlier than "Call Me Baby", but because it is not the first song but the main title of the second single , coupled with the busy schedule after the return, there are still some small flaws in the proficiency of dancing.

However, there are some problems in the details, and there are basically no problems on the whole.

"Let's take a break." After that, EXO danced several times again, and focused on practicing the choreography of the large group movement in the chorus. After being tired enough, they finally entered the break time under the teacher's signal, and the VJ next to him also The camera was turned off in a timely manner to stop the shooting of the extras.

"Hmm~"

Chi Jingyuan and Wu Shixun, who are the youngest members, took the initiative to go to the small refrigerator to get drinks and mineral water for other members, each took a bottle back to their seats and sat down on the floor, took a few sips of water, and then Chi Jing Yuan let out a sigh of satisfaction.

"Where are you going for lunch?"

"There are activities in the afternoon, it won't be long, just find one nearby..."

"But I want to eat barbecue..."

Hearing that the members next to him were already chatting about lunch, and it happened that there was nothing to do at the moment, Chi Jingyuan took out his mobile phone and opened the webpage, looking at the news of red velvet's comeback.

It has been announced that Ryder Beibei will come back on the 18th and has already started frequent warm-up and promotion. On the 13th, he uploaded the video of the live preview. The MV of "Automatic", and the MV of another title song "Ice Cream Cake" will be released at noon today, and all the music sources of the entire album will be released tomorrow.

To be honest, when the previous two comebacks were not good, the first mini-album adopted the form of double title songs, and the company actually still values ​​red velvet.

However, Tianchi Jingyuan has watched the MV of one of the main songs "Automatic" the day before, how should I put it...

The style of the song and choreography are a bit similar to their cover of "be nature" last October, but the style is softer and more urban.

After reading it overall, he felt that it was quite ordinary.

But there are also bright spots. At least Pei Zhuxuan has a few shots in which the appearance is very eye-catching. One is the blonde with big waves at the beginning, which looks amazing, and then there is a blonde in pink sitting in the driver's seat and holding the steering wheel in the middle. The lens is also pretty good.

In addition, Jiang Seulqi, Son Seungwan's makeup and other members are also OK, at least compared to "be nature" which sounds a bit similar, Cody really put his heart into the styling of this comeback.

Although Chi Jingyuan thinks that the title song is ordinary and not popular enough, there is also a title song "Ice Cream Cake" in the album, which has the same name as the album, which means that the latter song should be the main recommendation. He is still looking forward to the MV.

After thinking about it, Chi Jingyuan took out his earphones and put them on, and clicked on a live preview video of red velvet in the video list.

This video is about the fact that Ryder Beibei and the others were notified by their manager that they were going to do a live broadcast of their comeback on the 18th, so they began to think about what to say during the live broadcast and how to introduce themselves at the same time.

Ji Jingyuan has already watched the video uploaded on the 13th. At the end of the video, a few people even gave a birthday cake to Kim Taeyeon, who played a guest role, and asked for some experience and advice from the seniors.

Speaking of Taeyeon's mention at the birthday party on the 9th that he had just met Pei Zhuxuan, he should be referring to the filming of this video.

The whole video is actually nothing to watch. Except for Sun Shengwan who seems to be very talented, the funny level of red velvet is actually average, and the reason why Chi Jingyuan clicked in to watch it again...

After he clicked on it, he pulled the progress of the video to one-third, and Pei Zhuxuan was showing his personal skills - imitating Doraemon's voice and saying...

"Darling."

A hoarse voice came into his mind through the earphones, Chi Jingyuan looked at Pei Zhuxuan on the screen and couldn't help laughing.

Doraemon's voice itself is very characteristic. The hoarse and deep voice is a bit comical through Pei Zhuxuan's deliberate imitation. Coupled with her helpless golden thick bangs that I don't know how to design, it looks It looks so silly that it makes people want to laugh.

She kept laughing shyly after imitating herself, obviously knowing that she looked stupid now.

Not to mention, the imitation is really a bit similar.

God knows why she regards this thing as her own personal skill, and she doesn't know whether she came up with it or appointed by the company. This personal skill is completely different from her own face and gentle temperament, but Chi Jingyuan It sounds magical.

It may be that he himself likes Doraemon very much.

There could be other reasons too...

It's all right now, he just sat there drinking water, kept pulling the progress bar to look back, Pei Zhuxuan's voice kept repeating in his ears:

"Darling."

"Dear friend"

"..."

……

"I promised to eat barbecue, but why did I still eat bibimbap in the end?"

Park Chanyeol complained a little disappointed after scooping out a few spoonfuls of bibimbap.

"I said I have something to do later, how can I have time for you to eat barbecue? Let's talk about it after get off work at night." Bian Baekhyun who was sitting opposite glanced at him, curled his lips and said angrily: "If you don't want to eat bibimbap, why don't you follow Minseok and the others to eat pizza?"

"Forget it." Park Chanyeol sighed, remembering the schedule that he would probably be busy until evening, he honestly picked up the spoon and continued to eat.

Because time is running out, we can only deal with it casually near the company. For lunch today, EXO divided two groups of people and chose bibimbap and pizza respectively.

They have already figured out the several stores around the company. There are many stores where idols and even trainees around the company usually eat there at noon. It is not surprising to see EXO from time to time, and occasionally there will be special Fans came to watch and wait for a chance encounter or something.

On the contrary, the most interesting thing is that they would rather go out to eat bibimbap than eat in the company cafeteria.

"Jingyuan, are you full?" Park Chanyeol swept his eyes after eating a few mouthfuls, and saw Chi Jingyuan put down the spoon and picked up the phone. He didn't know what he was looking at.

"Well, it's almost there."

While operating the phone, Chi Jingyuan wiped his mouth with a tissue.

To be honest, he doesn't really want to eat bibimbap, so let's try to fill his stomach.

Opened the mobile webpage and went directly to SM's official YouTube channel. At this time, the MV of red velvet's second title song "Ice Cream Cake" has been officially released. Chi Jingyuan put on his headphones and clicked on it to start watching.

In the past, basically every time after the MV of EXO’s comeback title song was released, close friends like Bae Joohyun and Jiang Seulgi would watch it immediately and give him some feedback and encouragement. It just so happened that EXO was relatively free at noon today. , he is reciprocating the favor.

And Chi Jingyuan also knows that this comeback is also very important for red velvet. It is related to whether this group can continue to go on. In terms of importance, it is not inferior to EXO's comeback at this time. I am also very concerned.

"la la la la la la la la la~~"

"Give me that sweet taste, please."

“Ice Cream Cake”

After watching the MV, the last continuous English rap still echoed in his ears, Chi Jingyuan blinked his eyes, surprised that he still thought it was pretty good.

Whether it's the makeup of the five people, the style and melody of the whole song, or even the choreography and MV's shots and scenery, they are all OK.

At least it was much better than what "Automatic" gave him.

"The MV of "Ice Cream Cake" was shot very well, with many highlights." Looking up at the members who were still eating, Chi Jingyuan took the initiative to send a message to Pei Zhuxuan.

The other party's reply came in less than a minute. Obviously, Pei Zhuxuan has been holding the mobile phone to watch the MV release: "Jinjia? Is it really good?"

A few short words seemed to reveal the uneasiness in Pei Zhuxuan's heart, as well as the joy and excitement in his heart after learning Chi Jingyuan's evaluation.

The two often talked about some songs of their own group and other groups in their private text message chats. Chi Jingyuan's sensitivity to this aspect is still very accurate, and often the judgment of a song is not too bad.

"Well, the looks and costumes of the few of you are very good-looking, the choreography is also very distinctive, and the melody of the song is also quite pleasant. It is obviously much better than the last comeback, and many people will definitely like it." Chi Jing Yuan could see that Pei Zhuxuan felt a little uneasy, and specially typed a lot of words to praise the MV of "Ice Cream Cake" to encourage her.

Pei Zhuxuan may be fine at this time, and she replied very quickly: "kkkk can be praised by Jing Yuanxi, thanks to our hard work in filming in such cold weather in LA (smiley face)"

The MV of "Ice Cream Cake" was filmed in LA in the United States. At that time, Pei Zhuxuan complained to him that the temperature there was extremely low, and the clothing in the MV was very thin. It was really cold when shooting, and people were frozen All trembling.

Thinking of the two MVs I've seen, Chi Jingyuan followed up with another one: "I see that the MVs of your two title songs both have scenes of driving, Joohyun xi, do you like driving?"

"In "Automatic", I just sat in the driver's seat and held the steering wheel without driving. In "Ice Cream Cake", kkkkk...it looks like I'm driving, but it's just what the camera looks like. In fact, it's a foreigner wearing Wigs, pretending I'm driving...I can only watch (sad) from the outside."

"But I kind of like driving anyway (laughs)."

Seeing that the emotions expressed in the text were obviously much happier, Chi Jingyuan laughed and sent: "The scene of the swimming pool is also good."

What he was talking about was that in the middle of the MV, there was a shot of Pei Zhuxuan wearing a one-piece swimsuit, lying on an inflatable cushion and floating in the swimming pool. Although it was fleeting, it left a deep impression on him.

"(blush)"

"The swimming pool scene was the most annoying when shooting. The inflatable cushion was too small, and it kept sinking as soon as I lay on it. It didn't work after shooting several times. In the end, I asked a female staff member to dive and hold it under the water all the time. I barely finished filming with the mat..."

"...don't say I'm heavy, you know if I'm heavy (stare)."

Chi Jingyuan's encouragement and recognition of the MV of the title song obviously made Pei Zhuxuan seem to let go of a lot of new embarrassments. At this time, he was obviously very interested in talking. He sent several text messages in a row, and happily talked about a lot of things during the MV shooting. The details can be seen between the lines. She not only wants to distract herself from her worries about the performance of this album, but also wants to share the joy and excitement of finally being able to come back again.

As for whether she is heavy...

Chi Jingyuan recalled the feeling of hugging her at that time, and nodded to confirm that it was really not heavy.

On the other side, Pei Zhuxuan was sitting on the edge of the sofa in the dressing room at this time, leaning on the armrest and holding the mobile phone in both hands, carefully looking at the text on the screen, pursing his lower lip, and a thick and light smile on his face showed inner joy In the mood, the legs changed positions and stacked together, the corners of the mouth raised and hair began to type: "You just said that we all have good looks kkkkk, so who do you think has the best look?"

"Seulgi."

Chi Jingyuan replied quickly, but unfortunately it was not the name she wanted to see.

Before Pei Zhuxuan could reply, the other party sent another message: "There is also Kim Yerin."

Cursing her lips, Pei Zhuxuan snorted softly, sat up a little, and quickly tapped on the screen with both hands, but the typed out a long string of text was not completed, and received a message from the other party:

"Let's not talk about it, let's go to work right away."
