Chapter 417 Stop Laughing

"...Axi, you don't even know how irritable I was at that moment, but I couldn't show it, it's really..."

"It made me a little afraid of marriage..."

He just took a shower and his hair was still dry. He changed into pajamas and walked out of the dormitory. At this moment, except for the members who took a shower and the members who were on the phone with the female ticket, the other EXO members were watching TV in the living room. While chatting, Chi Jingyuan heard Park Chanyeol's somewhat exaggerated complaints before he reached the living room.

"Is it that exaggerated?"

"If you go there, you will know that the finished film of "Superman Returns" has been edited, and every child in the broadcast looks very cute, but it is not like this when we are shooting, those people The kids don’t cooperate at all when they’re upset, and even the program crew can’t say anything when they’re crying and fussing, it’s really troublesome.”

"I think it's okay, isn't that what children look like?" Bian Baekhyun ate a biscuit, and expressed his objection in a vague voice.

After seeing Chi Jingyuan walking to the side, he took the initiative to pass one over, moved his buttocks to the right twice, and made room for a seat on the sofa.

As soon as I heard Chi Jingyuan, I knew what the two were talking about. Park Chanyeol and Byun Baekhyun went to the recording of the parent-child reality show "Superman is Back" today. The former probably got some stimulation during the recording. Kushui, the latter is cheerful, as if he likes children very much.

Chi Jingyuan took a bite of the biscuit, sat down on the sofa, and was caught by the cue just before he sat down and watched what was broadcast on TV clearly.

"Then hurry up and get married, give birth to a child and take care of yourself..." Bian Baekhyun refuted a bit, and Park Chanyeol said angrily, and then saw Chi Jingyuan who was sitting down, and looked over as soon as his eyes lit up : "Jing Yuan, how did you feel about the JYP variety show you recorded today?"

Although no one will take the initiative to yell about what case they have received, in fact, everyone’s personal itinerary members are roughly clear to each other. Before Chi Jingyuan went to record JYP’s trainee program, XO fell into a hot discussion , Many people are curious about how he was invited over.

"It's pretty good, the recording went very smoothly." Chi Jingyuan answered with a blink of his eyes while chewing on a biscuit, his gaze was like that of a child who doesn't know much about the world.

The brothers next to him immediately showed disdainful eyes: "What are you pretending, who asked you this? Didn't it mean that it was a JYP girl group audition, so the participants must be the company's best trainees, do you think JYP's How is the quality of the person, is she pretty?"

This group of people is not interested in whether his recording is going well or not, male idols are naturally interested in female idols, if not, they are trainees.

"Oh, that's right." Park Chanyeol looked up as if thinking of something, and then looked at Chi Jingyuan: "Are there any trainees recorded from Xia Guo?"

"It's not bad." Chi Jingyuan recalled the fifteen trainees he saw during the recording today. Some of them, including Zhou Ziyu, were really eye-catching, but he didn't bother to say anything, so he just talked casually One sentence, then looked at Park Chanyeol who asked the question and nodded: "Yes."

He knew what the other party meant, Park Chanyeol was the only one in EXO who had seen Zhou Ziyu, and in the other party's heart, he probably felt that the relationship between Chi Jingyuan and Zhou Ziyu was not normal.

"Oh, let me tell you why you went to record this..." He understood as soon as he heard it, and raised his eyebrows at Chi Jingyuan with a smile, with a look of 'good brother, I understand you'.And Chi Jingyuan also shrugged, neither admitting nor denying it.

"What do you mean?" Being tickled by the riddles of the two people here, Wu Shixun looked around and asked curiously, but rolled his eyes in displeasure after being ignored.

"...How many sales of "X"? I haven't watched it for two days."

"The last time I saw it was more than 50. It's almost like this number has not risen very much, and it has dropped a lot compared to "E"..."

"Let's fall back normally."

"Do you want to go to Bigbang's concert in two days? The Seoul concert on the 25th is very popular."

"Don't be ridiculous. Now fans are feuding with each other and scolding every day. You go to the concert and you are photographed, and you don't think you are a traitor? We fans have no confidence in scolding each other..."

"By the way, the fifth episode of "My Neighbor Is EXO" airs today, have you watched it?"

Every time when returning to the dormitory early after get off work, EXO usually gathers in the living room to watch TV and chat for a while, and they can talk about any topic.From time to time, I will order some supper to eat together, and it is very lively.

It's just that as soon as the topic of the last sentence was brought up, the scene suddenly became strangely quiet.

After "My Neighbor Is EXO" was broadcast on the Internet some time ago, it was welcomed by many fans as they expected, but it is a pity that ordinary viewers sneered at this completely fan-oriented TV series, and the evaluation was not very good.

Even after EXO watched the first two episodes, he didn't watch it much.

Seeing the silence, Jin Junmian hastily changed the subject a little bluntly: "Aren't you going to attend the opening ceremony of the Nature Republic Myeongdong flagship store at noon tomorrow? I heard that there is a new neon restaurant nearby. Do you want to have a taste after it's over?"

"Row."

"OK, I like to eat the food from Neon."

"What about you, Jing Yuan?"

"Me? I may not be able to go to the opening ceremony tomorrow."

"what happened?"

Chi Jingyuan ate a lot of biscuits, and Chi Jingyuan took a sip of water: "I just accepted a case today, the regular MC of "Music Bank". Go to a meeting."

"Fixed MC, you?"

As soon as this sudden news came out, the curiosity of the people around was immediately aroused. First they glanced at him in surprise, and then they asked questions in a hurry. explained.

"To partner with a female idol in the company, who, it can't be..." Hearing the last sentence, Park Chanyeol and the others were stunned for a moment, they all thought of a name and stared at Chi Jingyuan in disbelief.

Chi Jingyuan, surrounded by several gazes, tried his best to speak casually, turned his gaze to the TV, shrugged his shoulders and did not speak, but his expression and movements had already answered.

"Jinjia?"

"Axi..."

"Is it really Pei Zhuxuan? Oh, you two? You can see each other steadily every week. Isn't this a public-funded relationship?"

Even though it was somewhat expected before, but after getting the answer, it still caused an uproar. Although EXO didn't know whether the two were in a relationship, they basically knew that their relationship was unusual and unusually close. Knowing that it was the two After co-hosting "Music Bank", I was full of surprise and some dissatisfaction, especially some members who were flirting with or dating other female idols, and their voices were unspeakably envious and sour.

"Love at public expense? How is it possible, not to this extent."

Chi Jingyuan waved his hands with a smile, and sternly denied this statement: "It's all for work, for the promotion of our XO coming back soon..."

It's just that he was interrupted before he finished speaking, and the whole living room was filled with howls of displeasure and jealousy:
"Axi, I also want to have a relationship at public expense!"

…………

"...the style of hosting will change, starting from your generation, it will no longer be hosted in the mode of partners as before, but in the form of close friends above AUO, and our writers will create Write some appropriate verbal interactions that you guys will show through the intervening segments of each broadcast..."

"...To put it simply, it's a common form of loveline hype in variety shows, but it's not too direct like those shows, considering your career and fan base, so there won't be any too intimate in the hosting process. Contact and ambiguous lines, it is best to show a sense of intimacy through eye contact and interaction..."

In the conference room of the "Music Bank" program group on the third floor of the KBS building, director PD Han Jingzhe is enthusiastically talking about the needs of the program and the change of MC's hosting style. Besides the main creators of the program, the two newcomers confirmed to star Fixed MC Ji Jingyuan, Pei Zhuxuan and their managers were all present, and they were listening carefully with their notebooks.

Han Jingzhe is in his forties. He is of average height. He wears black-rimmed glasses. With his small eyes, he looks a little serious. He has been the director of "Music Bank" since the year before last, and he is quite experienced.

He talked for a while, glanced at Chi Jingyuan, who had just confirmed to be the regular MC not long ago, and then glanced back and forth between him and Pei Zhuxuan who was sitting next to him.

Ji Jingyuan in the jacket and shirt, and Pei Zhuxuan in the exquisite ponytail, just sitting there and looking at it makes people feel seductive.

He nodded in satisfaction, and continued:

"This kind of non-disgusting, can attract the attention of passers-by and create a sense of substitution. The relatively advanced close interaction will test the MC's ability to control. In addition to the script provided by the writer, there is also a certain degree of tacit understanding between you. Certain tests, especially the high requirements for MC's appearance... Simply put, it is to be good-looking. Standing together at first glance, it must look very good and make people feel good. Yuan xi and Irene xi are It fits our needs perfectly.”

"really……"

"It's rare to have this appearance in idols."

The staff next to them looked at the left side of the conference table, and the two sitting together nodded in agreement.

"Kangsang Mita." Pei Zhuxuan seemed a little apprehensive in the face of the compliment, and quickly bowed slightly to express his gratitude.

To be honest, she has not received a few personal resources since her debut. At this time, she is a little nervous to hold a production meeting by herself after leaving the team. exposed this.

Especially when the other partner is sitting next to her at this time, even more so when she is very close.

"Kangsang Mita."

Far from being as cramped as the newcomer Pei Zhuxuan, Chi Jingyuan, who has seen many such occasions, looked very relaxed. He first thanked him politely, and then made a joke with a smile: "Irene may have no problem with the requirements PDnim said. I guess it's a little bit closer."

"Hahaha..." Han Jingzhe and the others laughed lightly when they heard the words, and the atmosphere in the meeting room became more harmonious.

As the director of "Music Bank", he has a good impression of Chi Jingyuan, not only because the other party is a very suitable candidate, and the program crew pinned their hopes of improving the ratings of the program on him, but also because he learned from his colleagues. The school seniors heard something about this young man.

"...The contract has been almost negotiated and should be signed today. Junxu xi and Paula xi have already confirmed that they will get off after the end of the period on the 24th, so the time for you to officially get on the car is set to be May 5. The issue of the number... Speaking of which, your XO seems to be coming back on that day, right, the first stage happened to be our "Music Bank", what a coincidence."

After talking about some other matters, it was almost the end. Han Jingzhe finally began to make a summary: "There are less than ten days left and it is already quite urgent... In addition, the announcement stage of the newcomer MC will be set as "One "And [-]/[-]" song, the specific part that needs to be adapted and the connection with the stage should be prepared in the next few days, it happens that the two MCs belong to the same company, so it should be more convenient to practice."

"Nai, I see."

"Kang Sang Mita..."

…………

Because of this fixed MC case, the company has vacated Chi Jingyuan’s time for the past two days, but fortunately during this period, EXO itself focused on behind-the-scenes things such as concerts, comeback stages, and album preparations. The itinerary is not much, and the time is relatively easy to deploy.

Pei Zhuxuan's side should be similar. Although "ice cream cake" is still playing songs, the popularity has dropped a lot, and the corresponding promotional activities have also decreased.

After returning from KBS, under the arrangement of the company, Chi Jingyuan directly discussed with the dance teacher the adaptation and effect of this MC announcement stage "One and One Half".

The song "One and One Half" is a classic track released by two two two in 1994. The lyrics revolve around the phrase 'because you took half of me, so you can be two people' , tells the process of friends or lovers changing from unfamiliar to close. It is a relatively warm and sweet song. Since its release, it has often been quoted by various variety shows or covered by idol artists. It is a very well-known song. song.

It's just a pity that this mixed voice group debuted in 1994 and disbanded in 1996, and what's even more pity is that their male lead singer Jin Zhixun passed away due to depression in 2013.

The original arrangement is very good and there is no need to change too much. At most, a little chords or drums are added, and there is no need for too much choreography. The main thing is to design the movements and interactions of male and female MCs on stage.

Since it is to echo the style requirements of the program group, some interactions will be a little pinker.

This kind of adaptation is not difficult. After a few hours of work, the two sides started practicing after notifying Pei Zhuxuan's manager.

"When I came out, Irene's hand was on Jing Yuan's, and I didn't have any embarrassment to be a little carefree... Uh, that's right."

They are all from the same company who often meet and work together, so there are not so many red tapes. When Chi Jingyuan and Pei Zhuxuan both arrived, the dance teacher began to teach the newly choreographed stage flow after a few simple words.

The first opening action required physical contact. The teacher originally thought that Pei Zhuxuan would be a little uncomfortable, so he made a special voice to comfort him, but he didn't expect that before he finished speaking, he saw Pei Zhuxuan stretching out his hand to put Chi Jingyuan on it. arms together.

Her expression was very natural, as if this was a normal action and contact. After getting on it, she looked at the teacher and blinked her big eyes, as if she was waiting for the follow-up action.

Seeing this scene, the dance teacher couldn't help but paused, glanced at the faces of the two, pursed his lips and said, "Well, it's pretty good, but Irene remembers to wear high heels when she's on the formal stage."

Although Pei Zhuxuan is not tall, she prefers flat shoes in daily life, and of course she doesn't wear high heels when practicing in private, so the two of them stand side by side at this time, and the height contrast looks a little eye-catching.

As soon as these words came out, Chi Jingyuan keenly felt that Pei Zhuxuan was obviously tightening his hand, and smiled secretly in his heart, but there was no change on his face, as if he hadn't heard it.

"...Look at this central axis, look at each other here after taking two steps, and then separate to the two sides, beckoning to each other..."

"At the end of the chorus, standing together with your hips akimbo, leaning your upper body closer, yes, that's it!"

"The ending, Irene, hold Jing Yuan's hand and turn around in a circle, a Latin-like movement..."

"You have all seen the original stage. In fact, there are only some small changes in the chorus part. There is no choreography itself. They are very simple movements. The difficulty is very low. The focus is still on your eyes. And interact with..."

"These interactions are actually not rigid. The main thing is to convey a feeling of sweetness and intimacy. If there is a tacit understanding, it will be good to play better on the spot."

After working for a long time, looking at the two people who were already sweating and starting to pant slightly, the dance teacher nodded, looked at their faces, and remembered the practice process, and couldn't help but sigh: "I think the tacit understanding between you two is really good, During the official performance, some impromptu interactions may have better effects than what we made up."

"Let's take a break first..."

After clapping their hands, the dance teacher and Chi Jingyuan exchanged glances, announcing the break time. Pei Zhuxuan glanced at Chi Jingyuan and walked out, probably to the bathroom, while Chi Jingyuan went to the small refrigerator next to him to get a bottle Beverage walked to the corner, found a place, sat down, took out his phone and casually swiped.

After a few minutes, there was the sound of the door being pushed open, but he didn't look up. Footsteps came from far to near. He sat down about [-] meters away, glanced at him and then twisted open the bottle and took a sip.

When I went to the KBS meeting in the morning, I just met a few times and didn't make much eye contact. After returning to the company, I have been busy until now. Speaking of which, this is the first private meeting between the two of them after they both confirmed to be the regular MC of "Music Bank". Get along and communicate.

"By the way, why did you accept this case?"

Suddenly a soft voice came, which diverted Chi Jingyuan's attention from a black EXO post he was reading with relish, and he couldn't help turning his head to look at it.

Pei Zhuxuan's light-colored tight-fitting long-sleeves are paired with sportswear and white shoes, her long hair is tied with a ball on the back of her head, and the few missing air bangs hang mischievously on both sides of her forehead, flickering with the movements of her master. Lively.

Although she took the initiative to speak, she was looking at the mineral water bottle in her hand seriously at this moment, as if she was studying the production formula of this bottle of water with a very focused look, until she felt that Chi Jingyuan was watching Then she turned her head around, blinked her eyes, and met his with curious eyes, as if she really didn't know the reason.

"..."

Seeing her expression, Chi Jingyuan was speechless for a moment, he pretended to be like a little white rabbit, but he didn't believe that this sister didn't know why he picked up this regular MC.

But seeing Pei Zhuxuan's serious pretentiousness, Chi Jingyuan didn't want to cooperate with her. After pondering for two seconds, he replied in a very serious tone: "Are you talking about this MC? It's mainly because of the company's consideration of our EXO, because The exposure of this show is good, which just happens that we need more publicity for our next comeback."

"It's also because the program group is more optimistic about me and is very sincere..."

"Maybe it's because they want me to exercise a bit, and I may develop more in the direction of variety shows in the future..."

"By the way, I think it might be..."

As he said one legitimate reason after another in an official tone, the expression of Pei Zhuxuan, who had never heard the sentence he wanted to hear, became a lot more depressed, and Bling Bling's eyes were not so good when he was pretending just now Lively.

"The last reason is...you."

Seeing that the other party wrinkled his nose very lightly and was obviously dissatisfied, Chi Jingyuan smiled in his heart and didn't bother to play, and said it directly, and then leaned against the wall and looked at the other party, frowning in a bad mood Said: "No, Zhu Xuanxi, what are you pretending there? You really don't know?"

"……Ha ha ha ha."

Finally, he heard the answer he had always wanted to hear. Pei Zhuxuan puffed up his mouth and held back his patience. However, after a few seconds, he still couldn't beat the joy in his heart and giggled. The pleasant atmosphere surrounded the two of them. Surrounded, even if he covered his mouth, it was difficult to conceal his cheerful emotions, even if Chi Jingyuan looked at him with disgust, he was not annoyed at all.

Of course she knew why Chi Jingyuan came here, even the moment Quan Huiying hung up the phone and told her she knew the reason.

But I just want to hear it from his own mouth.

"It doesn't look like it at all... Don't laugh, it sounds terrible... Take your hands away!"

"Giggle..."

…………

While Ji Jingyuan was preparing for the MC stage and EXO's comeback and concert, on the day of April 4th, several hot news appeared one after another since the morning, and the first one was SM He and YG successively released the promotional photos of EXO and bigbang's comeback, and at the same time announced the time of comeback to the first stage.

The two announcements were one after the other, and it seemed that the latter was waiting for the former, which made people feel very obvious about the rivalry.
