peninsula asteroid.

Chapter 394
The warm touch disappeared quickly, and he bowed deeply to thank the audience. After straightening up, everyone naturally let go of the holding hands. After the temperature in the hands suddenly disappeared, Pei Zhuxuan stretched his left hand back and put it in front of him to make a fist. There were all kinds of screams and cheers, but there was a strange feeling of sadness in my heart.

Just glanced over from the corner of the eye and saw Chi Jingyuan showing no nostalgia, smiling and waving, Pei Zhuxuan hummed in his heart and forcibly suppressed those feelings, and imitated the other party's behavior as if nothing happened. laughed, and turned to say his final goodbyes to the audience.

After the closing ceremony, the performance officially ended. Artists walked off the stage and flocked to the backstage. Dozens of people crowded together. Chi Jingyuan and Pei Zhuxuan coincidentally walked together in the crowded crowd.

"Are you guys going to rest at the hotel later?" He asked casually, while turning his head to look over, the first thing that caught his eyes was the thin beads of sweat on Pei Zhuxuan's forehead under the blond hair, and the dazzling incandescence in the backcourt. It is particularly conspicuous under lighting.

"Well, I guess we'll go out to have dinner together later, and then go back to the hotel to stay." Pei Zhuxuan nodded, looked up and blinked, and looked at him with a smile: "What about you?"

red velvet has only debuted for six or seven months, and is still relatively strict in the rookie period. If he wants to be as free as other seniors in the company, he will have to wait at least two or three years later.

"They might go out to play for a while, maybe it's a club or something." Chi Jingyuan glanced at Park Chanyeol and the others who were chatting happily not far ahead, boldly guessed the content of their conversation, and then took out his phone I looked at the time: "But I already went out to eat local food yesterday, and I may rest in the hotel room tonight."

Pei Zhuxuan nodded, and the two followed behind the crowd, talking in a low voice.

Just as Chi Jingyuan expected, just after returning to the hotel after the concert, several members of XO talked to their manager and then went out to play together. Judging from their high spirits, it is estimated that they had already had fun beforehand. I don't know where I found out about the destination.

In other words, can they understand other people's speech, relying on Jin Zhongda's half-baked Chinese?

Chi Jingyuan lay happily on the bed in the room and played the game all night, and hatched several Pokémon eggs with specific personalities very enjoyable.

Full of harvest!

In the early morning of the next day, all the artists who had no local activities took the bus to Taoyuan Airport and chartered a flight back to the peninsula. After landing in Seoul, they went back to the company to fix up and then separated. Several other members of EXO went to run the schedule, while Ji Jingyuan was taken Called to the company's small conference room.

"..."

"Wait until the flowers bloom."

"Just wait there for me."

"Wait for me there."

In the small meeting room, several producers of EXO's album, the company's records, and the staff of the publicity department were all on the line, and they all looked intently at the high-definition screen connected to the laptop and playing the "Spring Day" MV.

Although this song has not been released to the public, everyone here has actually heard it many times. At this time, it has reached the end of the MV. The last clear and soft sound combined with the harmony of the background sound can still be heard by many people in the conference room. Nodding lightly to the beat, they obviously sank into it a little bit.

"How about it."

After watching it three times in a row, Li Xiuman signaled his assistant to pause the MV, and saw that the video played on the monitor was frozen at the 'SM' logo, nodded and looked at the surrounding staff, and asked: "Do you think the MV of "Spring Day" How is the finished product, what are your comments and ideas?"

The people around bowed their heads and whispered to each other, and discussed in a low voice. Chi Jingyuan also thought for a while, and exchanged opinions with the producer next to him.

The MV of the song "Spring Day" has been filmed in early February because it needs a lot of snow scenes as the background. Some of the shots were even captured and shot when the company snowed heavily in January, but the focus of the previous action It has always been on "call me baby", the main focus of the first single is naturally more important, so some related work has been pushed back a bit, after the finished product of the MV yesterday, as the chief producer Li Xiuman immediately held a discussion meeting.

However, as the title song of the single album "X", "Spring Day" is naturally very valued by the company, and as a title song with a lyrical style, the MV is one of the important channels and means to express and condense emotions. It needs special attention.

"I think the rendering of the picture can be softer..."

"Is the editing and splicing of several shots in the middle too fast? The face was switched before it was clearly seen, and the key point was not highlighted..."

After some discussion, several people expressed their views one after another.

Li Xiuman glanced at the assistant who was recording, nodded after thinking for a few seconds, and then looked at the member sitting next to him: "Jing Yuan, what do you think?"

Chi Jingyuan, who was caught by the cue, actually had an idea in his mind when he just watched it. He just said that he glanced at the VJ who was standing in the corner of the conference room with a camera on his shoulder and had been shooting from the corner of his eye.

I don't know what Li Xiuman and the company are thinking about. Such an important internal meeting has even arranged for a special person to shoot. It seems that after editing and coding, it may be arranged in the behind-the-scenes footage of EXO's official second album production that will be announced later.

Chi Jingyuan organized his language briefly, looked at the paused big screen, pursed his lips and said: "I feel that the ending part is a little rushed, and it plays a slightly weaker role in sublimating the important emotions. "

This is his most intuitive feeling after watching the MV three times.

He participated in the whole process of the MV of "Spring Day" from planning to shooting, and provided a lot of opinions.

Because of its lyrical features and vagueness, this song does not specify the lyrics that are full of hints, so many people who hear it will have some different feelings and understandings, so the main emotional points to be expressed and reflected in the shooting MV were originally It has also been discussed a lot.

Some people think that this is a song written for an ex, a sad song, and it should express the reluctance and nostalgia for the relationship that has passed away.Some think that it is about the departure and growth of youth, and some sad emotions need to be shown, but in the end they have to return to the positive, expectant and grateful.

Some people even want to express some metaphors in the MV, hints and memories of certain events.

After research and consideration, finally under Li Xiuman's decision, Chi Jingyuan's opinion was adopted as the main body, and the main emotion expressed in this song's MV was determined to express youth as the theme, which also just fits EXO's comeback this time styles and concepts.

It was only after watching the finished product that Chi Jingyuan found a problem: "The MV of our song is mainly about the passing of youth, it reflects a person's growth and maturity while remembering the past, but after I watched it, I feel that the final ending of this version of the MV has a sense of a sudden end, the arrival of 'spring' and the flavor of hope are not reflected, and some emotions held in the chest have not been sublimated, and there is no way to express them."

"The end at the station was a bit abrupt. It should be at the end of the part that everyone should get off the train. The nine members were in the open and desolate spring day at the beginning of the day, but were shrouded by the warm sun that was gradually rising. Walking in the bright wilderness where the ear becomes bright, wandering freely, then the camera gradually zooms up and turns into aerial photography, and finally freezes. While suggesting a summary of the past youth, it can also express some hopes and longings for the future... "

"...Such a scene should be edited later, this is my first reaction and the most real thought after watching this version of the MV."

After entering the working state, Chi Jingyuan didn't bother to care about the VJ filming next to him. He described his intuitive feeling in a more detailed language and made suggestions at the same time.

After Chi Jingyuan took the initiative to remove some hints and metaphors, the MV shooting plan set before is actually a little different from the picture Chi Jingyuan saw in his dream, but now he really feels that the current version of SM The finished MV was a little flawed.

"..."

After listening to his suggestion carefully, Li Xiuman's long and narrow eyes lit up a little, and he seemed to nod his head in agreement, which was obviously much larger than before, and seemed to agree with Chi Jingyuan's opinion.

And the others looked at the monitor with some thought, as if they were also thinking about it, some nodded in agreement, and some frowned.

"Look at it twice."

After another quiet discussion, no consensus was reached. Under Li Xiuman's signal, the assistant quickly played the MV again, and the melodious melody reverberated in the quiet conference room:
"I miss you."

"After I said it, I missed you even more..."

…………

"Hey Yigu, why do you suddenly have to reshoot the MV scene? Isn't "Spring Day" already finished filming?"

"Could it be that the data of our MV has also been damaged?"

Stepping out of the nanny car, the chilly morning breeze instantly made several members of XO in unlined clothes hug themselves and beat their bodies to keep warm. Baekhyun looked up at the dark sky where the moon was still hanging, There was also a strange grumble in his mouth.

Last night, EXO suddenly got a notification from their manager, saying that the company has made a decision to temporarily change the itinerary. They need to make up a set of MV shots for "Spring Day" this morning, and because they want to capture the light of the sunrise So get up early.

I slept very late at night, and I was picked up and rushed to the beauty salon for styling before I went to bed for two hours.

And now it's less than five o'clock in the morning, everyone in EXO has already arrived in the outskirts of YZ City, Gyeonggi-do. The cold wind was blowing loosely, and the staff who set up the camera equipment were in a daze as they looked at the busy side.

However, there are also energetic people such as Byun Baekhyun and Park Chanyeol. They have even thought of the glorious deeds of Girls' Generation's "MR.MR." due to data damage and the night before their comeback.

"Jing Yuan is the producer, you should know."

Jin Junmian looked at Chi Jingyuan, and found that he was about to fall asleep with his eyelids drooping at this moment, and poked him with his elbow to make Chi Jingyuan jolt back to his senses, and then repeated the question in his mouth .

"Well, there were some problems with the previous version of the MV. The final ending was too hasty and needed to add a few shots. After watching it yesterday, we held a meeting to discuss whether the company might have made a decision."

Chi Jingyuan nodded, probably because he didn't have a good rest, his voice was a little hoarse.

"Ah, why is it "Spring Day" again..."

Park Chanyeol couldn't hold back and complained in a low voice.

I said it was a complaint, because many people in EXO complained a lot about the MV shooting process of the song "Spring Day", leaving a bad impression.

Because the song describes 'spring day', the clothing during the MV shooting included warm clothing such as turtleneck sweaters, but overall the clothing was a bit thin, and some members even wore long-sleeved shorts collocation.

However, the shooting of the MV was in February, when it was snowing in the winter, and it was really cold when I was shooting in that outfit. To manage expressions as if there is nothing to do.

So even though the MV does not have any dance scenes, many members still feel that it is much more tiring than filming "call me baby", cold and tired.

After exchanging a few words with EXO in a low voice, I was called to go to the car to change clothes. Now in late March, the temperature has risen a lot, not as sad as before. After changing clothes, I waited for a while. After the PD explained the shooting process and general location Just start rehearsing ahead of time.

Unlike the "call me baby" MV, which is almost a pure dance version, which was shot purely indoors, the MV of "Spring Day" is much more complicated. It took a lot of trouble to go to many places for scene shooting, such as the abandoned swimming pool of Seoul National University , Seoul Forest Woodland Playground, Tongque Bridge, Donghe Bridge and other places.

Among them, there are two with more shots, one is the seaside of Jumunjin, Gangneung City, Gangwon-do, where many seascapes were shot, and SM specially set up a station at the seaside to shoot the scene.

The other is Yangzhou Ilying Station, which is a railway station located in YZ City, Gyeonggi-do, near the outskirts of Seoul. However, the mission of the passenger station here has been abandoned long ago, and now there are only occasional trucks passing by.

EXO took a lot of shots of railway tracks and trains here, which is considered one of the most important shooting locations.

When the sky was getting dark and the sun was about to rise, under the direction of the PD, the re-shooting of the MV shots officially started.

It is said to be a small reshoot, but in fact, they shot for several hours in order to achieve a better final effect. As for the aerial shots mentioned by Chi Jingyuan, the company also specially used drones for shooting. For the final effect, it can be said that all aspects have been done relatively well.

"Card."

"OK, done!"

"Thanks for your hard work."

"Thanks for your hard work."

When the sun rose gradually, the PD finally announced the completion of the reshoots. Everyone at the scene breathed a sigh of relief. After the EXO members kept thanking the staff, they first went to change their clothes, and then returned to Seoul in a nanny car.

Maybe it's really because I got up too early today and didn't have a good rest. Most of the members were closing their eyes to rest or catch up on sleep. No one talked quietly along the way.

Chi Jingyuan was resting on the back of the chair with his head half pressed against the window, when suddenly the phone in his pocket rang, he recovered and quickly took it out to adjust the vibration, then squinted his eyes and looked at the screen, and found that It was Zhou Ziyu who sent me a message:
"Are you a star?"

Neuropathy.

After seeing it, Chi Jingyuan cursed inwardly, casually typed 'nonsense' and then closed his eyes.

But when he was about to put the phone back, it vibrated twice again.

"This is the title of the first episode of our program, what do you think it means?"

"Nonsense?... I didn't talk about you, this is our topic!"

Maybe Zhou Ziyu, who didn't know that he was scolded just now, had an innocent tone and hurriedly explained.

"Then you won't send them together? Do you have to develop them separately?"

After glancing at the message, Chi Jingyuan frowned, and replied a little speechlessly, and then let out a "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh", after stretching his waist, he didn't seem to be as sleepy as before.

He pulled himself together, ignored Zhou Ziyu's "hey hey" message that wanted to be perfunctory, and carefully looked at the topic she said before:
"Are you a star?"

"Are you a star?"

After silently reading the question twice, he thought for a while and then tapped the screen to start typing: "Is it your president's question? I think it should be to show your stardom."

"Yes, the title released by PD Park Zhenying...what is starness?" Zhou Ziyu replied quickly, seeming a little confused.

"Starness is a lot of things. Excellent appearance, cheerful and likable personality, generous and not stage fright, and even great singing skills or dancing feel."

"This topic should allow you to show your own characteristics, the kind of strengths that can attract the audience's attention at a glance."

I don't know if it's because I'm afraid she won't understand, but Chi Jingyuan replied in more detail.

"If it were you, what would you perform?" Zhou Ziyu asked curiously.

Seeing this question, Chi Jingyuan curled his lips in disdain, and replied with a chuckle: "If it's me, I just need to stand on the stage, and I don't have to do anything."

"Cut (vomit)"

Not surprisingly, she didn't see any reference value from this answer.

After this time, Zhou Ziyu didn't reply quickly, and he didn't know whether he was thinking about what he just said or was delayed by something. Chi Jingyuan, who was gradually waking up, looked out the window a few times. The fences on both sides flashed in the eyes and passed backwards continuously, and the fields in the distance went back and forth, and every time I looked at it, I felt a little similar.

"snore……"

There were a few snoring sounds from the back seat, Chi Jingyuan glanced back, Jin Zhongren's voice was the loudest, and Bian Baekhyun and Jin Junmian, who were sleeping in their own seats, almost moved together.

At this time, the phone finally vibrated:
"...Then what characteristics do you think I have?"

Black and dumb.

When Chi Jingyuan saw this text message, he had a conditioned reflex and wanted to send the words that came to his mind, but thinking that this was a very important thing for this child to debut, he forcibly suppressed the desire to complain in his heart.

But speaking of Zhou Ziyu's characteristics...

Chi Jingyuan suddenly hesitated, he found that he really didn't pay much attention to this aspect.Because she was only thirteen or fourteen years old when we met, this girl has always been a kid in his impression, and her advantages and strengths have been covered up under this impression, even if two or three years have passed Still nothing changed.

She said it so suddenly...

Inexplicably, Chi Jingyuan fell into a moment of thinking.

"If you don't want to say it, forget it! (angry)"

It seems that a long time passed without receiving a reply, and Zhou Ziyu, who couldn't wait, sent a message first, with a muffled tone obviously dissatisfied, but Chi Jingyuan paused when he saw it, and glanced at the screen that he hadn't seen anything yet. After entering the words 'shape, figure, and personality...', I shook my head and laughed.

He didn't go back, but put it in the draft box. Chi Jingyuan thought about it and checked the time, then sent a text message casually: "Isn't it still in the morning, you don't have to go to class?"

"In order to participate in "sixteen", I have already asked for leave from the school, and I have already discussed with my mother that I will take a break from school and wait for the show to end before returning to class. She will come to Seoul in a few days to help me with the formalities."

"...Do you think it's appropriate to suspend school?"

Although Zhou Ziyu said that he had made a decision, there were obviously some worries and apprehensions in his words, and he asked Chi Jingyuan for his opinion as if he wanted to seek affirmation.

After Chi Jingyuan saw it, he pursed his lips, and couldn't help but look up again at the scene outside the window and the scene that had hardly changed before. He turned back after dozens of seconds, and didn't say whether it was suitable or not, just sent a message. Past two words:

"come on!"

…………

All the way back to Seoul, I drove directly to the parking lot of the SM company building.

For this MV reshoot, the company also specifically canceled the recording of "Music Bank" that was supposed to participate today.

But fortunately, "Music Bank" as a big TV show has its own fairness and gold content. Without the company's deliberate injection of water, as long as you have achievements, even if no one is present to play songs, but a trophy should be given out. , not as low-end as "the show".

With EXO's current momentum and the results of "call me baby", even if they don't get a trophy, they are still very sure. The only competitor this week, Shinhwa, is indeed far behind them.

When he entered the company building and walked towards the practice room, the mobile phone in Chi Jingyuan's pocket suddenly vibrated again. He took it out and saw the caller's name and couldn't help blinking, thinking that it was quite interesting for a moment.

The person who just mentioned it actually called.

After saying hello to the members, Chi Jingyuan found a deserted place at the stairs, and clicked to connect:
"Aren't you stuck, brother Zhenying?"
