Chapter 407 Who is the Shortest

Calling so late, with a choked tone, all Chi Jingyuan can think of is that this girl was eliminated by JYP's survival talent show "sixteen", which decides whether she can make her debut. After all, she said it a while ago The first episode has already started recording.

It's just that although Chi Jingyuan knew that Zhou Ziyu had told him about her "strength improvement" and "teacher's praise" before, it was vanity and wanted to make a small fuss. Her strength was far from what she boasted, but this first time It's a little too fast to be eliminated in the first phase.

"No, I haven't been eliminated."

Hearing Chi Jingyuan's guess, Zhou Ziyu's self-esteem suddenly flared up as if she had been guessed right and stepped on her tail, and she immediately said something excitedly, but she let out a lot of confidence after she finished speaking with a straight neck. The voice also lowered visibly to the naked eye: "But it's just a little bit."

Immediately afterwards, before Chi Jingyuan asked, she sniffed and took the initiative to tell what happened today in a sticky voice, which probably meant that her stage performance was poor during the recording of today's episode, not only did Park Zhenying comment on her They were very average, and they were criticized by the dance teacher who was in charge of their training after they came down.

She was originally in the minor poor student group, but this time not only did she not stand still, she even seemed to have stepped back a lot.

Seeing the faces of the teacher and Park Zhenying, the girl felt deeply hopeless in her debut. Although she didn't show it in front of other people, she was actually sad and lost in her heart, and it was very uncomfortable all night.

"It means, if PD Park Zhenying didn't say that because it's the first round, he would give you a chance and not select the eliminated ones, or you would have already been eliminated?" Chi Jingyuan pondered for two seconds after listening, and sorted out Take a look at the information you just heard, and then ask a tentative question.

"Ok!"

"Then I should be, more than half a year, less than a year."

"Who have you been on the phone for so long?" Li Caiyan, who was on the upper bunk beside him, saw Zhou Ziyu coming in, and asked curiously.

The soft breathing sound from the earpiece indicated that Zhou Ziyu was still listening carefully, maybe he was still looking for something to record it.

"How did you know?"

"Okay, I'm scaring myself for things that didn't happen. I was right when I said you were crazy."

"Hey Yigu, have you already become the producer of your own group at such a young age?" Kyuhyun stood up in shock and walked to the front, putting his hands on Chi Jingyuan's shoulders and pretending to beg him: "Next time Yuan xi can You can’t give us SJ a producer, you don’t even know how envious the members are when they see XO being so popular now!”

"This is not."

"Beauty Trap."

It is unclear what was said before, but at this time the members of EXO on the screen are all wearing black suits and sitting on the high stool above the stage. Chi Jingyuan is speaking with a microphone, and seems to be answering the host's question.

According to the previously announced process, the live broadcast is divided into three parts, which are introducing EXO's comeback album and some tidbits, promoting the web drama "My Neighbor is EXO" which will be officially launched tomorrow, and looking back at the time before and after their debut three years ago. Some impressive things, while revealing some secrets of members that fans are interested in.

"Everyone knows that XO's comeback model this time is very innovative. It adopts the form of releasing single albums every month for four consecutive months. But since I joined SM, I have never seen those juniors or seniors use this method. Those who have come back, I am really curious, who proposed it? Or did the company specially arrange it like this?"

Chi Jingyuan glanced out of the window for the last time, stretched out his hand to close the window, saw that Zhou Ziyu's mood had recovered and became much better, and finally explained something when he was about to say goodbye and hang up, and suddenly added another sentence: "By the way, in a few days I may..."

What Kyuhyun was talking about was the suspenseful and cinematic trailer that was filmed in ten regions of the world. So far, this big-budget trailer has been often mentioned and discussed by Allie, and it has become 'EXO crushing other ordinary boy groups, Not a level' important argument at all.

"..." After listening to his words, Zhou Ziyu seemed to be choked, some rapid breathing came, and after several seconds, he replied sullenly: "Why do you say that."

You are so weird, if you don’t eliminate them, who will you eliminate?

"because……"

In the past, EXO's debut was besieged by groups, surrounded by all kinds of ridicule and insults, but now EXO has really stood at the top of Kpop after being bullied. Many fans who witnessed this comparison couldn't help feeling a wave of The epic sense and sense of accomplishment of "the former boy will eventually become king", and even some sense of vicissitudes of life.

These clips of the members are also in stark contrast to the EXO members in suits and leather shoes in the lower left corner of the screen. Obviously, they are still the same people, with the same faces, but the situation and temperament are too different.

"Speak a few more words with Oh Mom."

Although no one was eliminated after the recording of the first episode, the two groups were reshuffled. Except Zhou Ziyu, Yu Dingyan, and Li Caiyan who remained in the "poor group" Several people from the 'major outstanding group' also dropped out, such as Lim Nayeon, Song Minying and other old faces.

"...To show your characteristics to the greatest extent, you should be more generous in your words, and just show your advantages straightforwardly."

Zhou Ziyu reacted after hearing a few words, and immediately found a seat nearby and sat down, took out his mobile phone and connected the earphones, tapped the screen a few times in quick succession, and opened Naver's live web page.

Zhou Ziyu turned around with a smile on his mobile phone, looked up at all kinds of clothes hanging on the balcony, waved away the two clothes in front of him, opened the glass door of the balcony and returned to the dormitory.

What's interesting is that the three members of the neon line switched positions. Nai Minami and Hirai Momo who were originally in the 'excellent group' went to the 'poor group', while Minazaki Saka, who was originally staying here, went up.

"4."

He didn't realize that the members were still eating until he sniffed lightly, and a smell of barbecue came from the corridor in the distance. After recalling what he said just now, he suddenly realized that he had said so much.

Chi Jingyuan also laughed, shook his head and scolded her, then slowed down and said in a serious tone: "I haven't seen how well you sing and dance, and maybe your brain is not very smart, but in terms of appearance They are considered excellent, even in our company they are among the best, this is very important for idols, even more important than strength."

"Hahaha..." The XO members next to him applauded immediately.

It's just that he stopped in the middle of speaking, and a curious question came from his ear:
"What could you be?"

When the call was connected just now, he still didn't speak, his mood was obviously not very good and his tone was a little choked up, but after calling for a while, Zhou Ziyu seemed to be in a good mood at the moment after being unceremoniously retorted by Chi Jingyuan. After a while, the sticky nasal sound faded away.

Several people raised their hands one after another to tell their year of practice, but for some reason they felt a little sad when they heard it.

"Ah..."

Following Kyuhyun's question, the fans below also looked over curiously.

There was such a big change in just the first session of recording, and it was related to such an important thing as whether I could make my debut. These young female trainees, most of whom were only seventeen or eighteen years old, couldn't accept it for a while, and felt sad and lost. Inevitably.

"Ah!"

And Najing Nan, who just moved in, also cast his gaze over, and there was something deep in his dark pupils.

"not him."

The phone was hung up on the opposite side, and Chi Jingyuan's unhappy thoughts still echoed in his ears. Zhou Ziyu stood quietly on the balcony and looked at the blacked-out screen of the phone for a long time, then burst out laughing. The balcony, which had become quiet and cold because of choking, seemed to have entered the spring day at this time, and Shu Er became warmer.

Chi Jingyuan smiled twice to express his surrender, and Kyuhyun sat back after joking, seeing that the audience was very interested, and then asked: "Then Yuan xi, what makes you feel good about being a producer this time?" Impressive thing?"

After playing a few small games and performing a simple live stage, the first part of introducing the album came to an end, and began to promote "My Neighbor is EXO".

"Hey, liar."

"By the way, the large group EXO is a boy group project carefully prepared by the company. I knew many of the trainees in it before." Kyuhyun paused, and then said: "How long have the members practiced in the company respectively?" You just joined XO to debut?"

Chi Jingyuan thought about it for a while, showing a hint of fear: "The song selection process really gave me a headache. This time, there are more than 100 candidates for the title song of XO's comeback. We have to be serious about each song. Listen to it many times, and then discuss and judge the marketability and popularity of the song, and whether it fits the image of the members and the style of the album..."

Today’s [-]rd anniversary event was held at SM COEX Arium in Samseong-dong, Gangnam-gu. Hundreds of fans were selected through EXO-L fan club registration and lottery to participate. At the same time, the whole process will be broadcast live on NAVER’s live terminal under the title of “EXOCAST” .

"It's an official debut."

Chi Jingyuan shook his head and denied: "This is a project proposed by the company's record department. After I saw it, I was very surprised and liked this project. It's just that the proposal was almost rejected at the time."

"Chinese song?"

"Well, I see...thank you."

Zhou Ziyu just explained softly and didn't say much. He sat on the bed and pulled himself up before lying down. He connected the earphones to his mobile phone and began to listen to the voice that Chi Jingyuan had secretly recorded just now, explaining to him the pictorial shooting.

The other members looked at each other, and finally looked at Chi Jingyuan.

And she seemed to be a little worried that Zhou Ziyu would be eliminated before he could be a guest, so she got involved here without knowing it, talking a little bit more.

"Hee hee..." Hearing that, the corners of her mouth turned up, and after a while, her head was buried in the quilt, and there was a burst of dull but cheerful laughter.

"For pictorials, it's not just about looking good."

"Hahaha..." The members and fans laughed together, and couldn't help but nod their heads after laughing.

"This kind of thing must be said later..."

"Does it mean joining XO's debut group, or the time of official debut?" Bian Baekhyun hesitated for a while and asked back.

"Why? Why did you pass such a good project?"

"Because when the production meeting was held... I was one of the producers this time... I learned that the company's original plan set our comeback this time as the original version, and then re-released each of the double titles, a total of four title songs. After I came down, I thought about it for a while, and felt that if the four songs were double titles, it would be better to release them in four months, and I could meet the fans twice more..."

"It's good enough to take a break and watch the live broadcast, and I'm still complaining."

Three years ago, one by one was still a little green, and the ignorant faces reappeared in everyone's sight, wearing the fancy singing clothes from the "MAMA" period, with exaggerated hair like a broom, it looked a little funny , but it caused countless fans to surge up, and a wave of turbulent emotions rolled in their chests.

Hearing this idiot-like question, Chi Jingyuan shook his head helplessly. Seeing that the window in front of him had been opened to the maximum, he stretched out his left hand to blow the air. Looking at the deserted street outside, he said angrily: "I saw it, I was watching from the side when you called."

Hearing Chi Jingyuan's uncharacteristically solemn praise, Zhou Ziyu held his breath for a long time but still didn't hold back, and suddenly let out a giggle. The joyful laughter seemed to clear away the gloom and loss in his heart just now, revealing It's not as good as you to raise the corners of your mouth when you pass the phone to this side.

Zhou Ziyu smiled slightly after hearing this.

After Ji Jingyuan, Kyuhyun specifically asked the other members a lot of interesting things during the filming, and everyone talked about it, all kinds of funny little things made the Allies laugh non-stop, the atmosphere was very good .

"Who secretly..." Zhou Ziyu first denied his words, and then asked in surprise, "How do you know?"

Kyuhyun, who is the SJ of today's live broadcast MC, sat on the stool on the left, holding a teleprompter, and looked curiously at the EXO members sitting in two rows in the center.

On the second day, Zhou Ziyu sweated profusely in the practice room with the colleagues of "sixteen"'poor student group' under the guidance of the teacher. After practicing hard for several hours and finishing the behind-the-scenes filming of the show, it was finally time for a break , the nine female trainees immediately divided into several groups and sat on the wooden floor in the practice room.

"It's coming out. The task of the second phase is to shoot a pictorial. It should be to see who looks better in the pictorial." Zhou Ziyu seemed to feel Chi Jingyuan's mentality from the phone call. For a moment, his tone became a little cowardly.

"5."

Maybe these teenagers on the screen at that time, and the fans who have followed since their debut, can't imagine their situation today at all.

Chi Jingyuan sneered, and suddenly felt a little tired: "So in fact, it didn't happen at all. Maybe there are people who are worse than your stage. It's all because you scare yourself and hold yourself back all night. ?”

"I don't know if there are any more interesting things mentioned earlier. I read on the Internet that this live broadcast will talk about some more private and more secret tidbits."

"………whee."

"I didn't finish my meal just to answer your phone call. I'm sure I'll be gone now when I go back. Damn, remember to treat me to dinner next time..."

"For team pictorials, it is more important to fit the theme and atmosphere. You can't be too abrupt and stand out in the whole picture. This is a kind of deduction..."

"Wow, it's really emotional to see that."

After the introduction and publicity of the system, we entered the final process, which is also the link that fans are most interested in and moved the most.

After the break time, Zhou Ziyu went out to the bathroom alone, and when she came back, she found several dialers in the practice room holding a mobile phone and looking at something together, like Lin Nayeon and Yu Dingyan's good friends , and the two neon people Mingjing Nan and Hirai Momo were watching, she got a little closer with some curiosity, and heard the discussion in their mouths:

"More than 100 songs? It's still a candidate for the title song, isn't it so exaggerated?"

Chi Jingyuan's experience in shooting pictorials can be said to be very rich. He can't remember how many times he has filmed since his debut, and he has actually mastered a lot of tips and points.

"Then, before the comeback with "E" last month, the trailer that aroused widespread discussion among fans and even appeared on the trending searches was Yuan your idea?"

Time flies like a white horse, and three years have passed in a flash. A group of naive teenagers who were just fledgling have also become seniors and started to hold anniversary activities.

…………

After hearing this, Yu Dingyan looked at Lin Nayeon in surprise, with an expression of disbelief.

"7."

Obviously, when I was on the phone with my mother just now, I was still sad, sobbing and acting like a baby for a long time before I felt better.

"Um…"

With a deep answer, Zhou Ziyu said that Chi Jingyuan seemed to have heard a nodding sound coming from the phone, and he didn't know if it was an illusion.

"...to show your characteristics to the greatest extent, and you should be more generous..."

The camera of the stage in the live broadcast began to zoom out to one side on the screen, and began to play the edited video of the showcase held in the Olympic Hall before EXO's debut three years ago.

Chi Jingyuan watched from the side with a smile, applauding and cheering from time to time, completely substituting the audience's perspective and watching it very happily.

Although the other party's voice sounded quite pitiful, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help laughing, and then he sighed and asked: "It means, in fact, it was not announced who will be eliminated. Do you think that your stage performance Very bad, so you think that if you are eliminated, it must be yourself?"

The cost of this trailer is indeed high, and the location of the viewfinder and the texture of the shooting can be seen with the naked eye.

"I don't know..." Lin Nayen also felt a little unimaginable, curled her lips and said in a low voice: "If we make our debut, I will be very happy to choose one of five of us."

Zhou Ziyu pursed his lips and looked at it intently.

""Beauty Trap"? Whose song is it, an OST?"

"Where's Baekhyun?" Seeing Baekhyun kept silent, Kyuhyun took the initiative to cue him.

"It's been more than ten minutes since the beginning, and I didn't even see it at the beginning."

"Huh...it's over anyway." Chi Jingyuan took a deep breath, suppressed the sense of humor in his heart, and then asked: "Then the second phase of the task has come out, and what is the assessment?"

The protagonists of the promotional part of the online drama became Park Chanyeol and the others. Several leading actors talked to the audience, and tried their best to promote this completely fan-oriented SM masterpiece to fans.

"...It belongs to Cai Yilin."

"When you were recording today, what stage did you perform on?" Chi Jingyuan completely ignored her emphasis, and asked casually after thinking about it.

"Forget it, you'll know when the time comes." Chi Jingyuan curled his lips and made a fool of himself, and then he remembered that he had been on the phone for so long, and those hanging people would definitely not leave anything for him, in his heart I am a little dissatisfied with this little wonder:

After the video was played, the live broadcast screen returned to the original appearance. Kyuhyun felt some complicated emotions in the venue, and took the initiative to break the calm: "Unknowingly, XO has grown to this point."

Hearing what she said, Chi Jingyuan shook his head, thinking that this girl was on the verge of being eliminated from the show at any time, he patiently told her some precautions and techniques about shooting pictorials: "For personal pictorials, I believe Comparing the poses you pose, you need to pay more attention to your posture. Your posture should be correct. Even if you bend over, you should not be loose. At the same time, your expression and eyes should match the theme of your shooting, be colder and more arrogant , or be more gentle..."

Chi Jingyuan explained briefly, and the girls below waved their fluorescent sticks and screamed at the right time. He smiled and said, "Then I wrote a planning report and handed it over to Teacher Li Xiuman. It barely passed after the second time."

Unexpectedly, after hanging up the phone now, my whole body suddenly became much more relaxed, and the low and uncomfortable emotions before inexplicably disappeared in my heart, leaving only a small tail.

She remembered that there was a live broadcast of EXO's [-]rd anniversary of debut today, and now the time has passed for a while, she was too busy all afternoon and forgot about it.

"That's all. Shooting pictorials doesn't depend on the stage ability, but has a lot to do with appearance. I don't think you will be eliminated, at least not in this issue."

"It should be very cumbersome. Many aspects need to be discussed in a meeting, including the concept of the group, the overall style, the time of comeback, styling, publicity, etc., or the selection of songs..."

At this moment, some behind-the-scenes things about album preparation that Chi Jingyuan talked about in the live broadcast are not only interesting to the fans, but even the trainees who yearn for their debut also find it very interesting. Quiet discussion.

She smiled awkwardly for a while, and when she was happy, she emphasized a bit: "I'm very smart."

Forget it, I blamed you, if someone really wants to be eliminated in this first issue, then I guess you really guessed right.

"Jinjia? Has he debuted in more than half a year?" Kyuhyun was astonished as if he heard the news for the first time, and couldn't help looking over: "Then Baekhyun should be the member with the shortest practice time in XO, right? "

"It should be, I proposed it." Chi Jingyuan took the microphone and nodded with a smile.

After hearing the answer, Chi Jingyuan was stunned for a moment, and a deep sense of helplessness came to his heart after a few seconds, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

He put it off, and after a few seconds, he sighed softly, and looked at the camera helplessly, "Because the cost of filming is really high, so high that even Teacher Li Xiuman would feel pain."

Sitting down and waiting for loading, Zhou Ziyu raised his eyes and glanced to the side, and found that Mingjing Nan was two meters away from her left by coincidence. She and the other party's eyes collided in the air, and after smiling At the same time, he lowered his head tacitly and looked at the live broadcast that had already been loaded in for a while.

Chi Jingyuan ignored her and guessed with a positive tone: "Then you secretly called your mother to seek comfort and cried for a long time?"

"Ani Ani Ani..."

Today is April 4th, three years ago today EXO with their first mini-album and title song "MAMA" and K, M two teams were on the stage of SBS "Inkigayo" and Xia Guo's "Music Billboard Annual Ceremony" officially debuted.

Kyuhyun took advantage of the situation and asked, "How did you come up with that?"

Unexpectedly, everyone shook their hands to object, their faces were full of expressions of 'you are wrong' and 'you are too naive'.

"Isn't half a year the shortest? Then who has the shortest practice time?" Kyuhyun's acting skills are really good. Looking at the expressions of EXO members with a shocked face, people can't help being surprised.

The practice time of half a year is really too short, and I didn't expect it to be even shorter.

No one answered him, but the other eight members of EXO reached out their index fingers to Chi Jingyuan who was sitting in the back row in a tacit understanding.
