Chapter 441 University
Although the audience was not allowed to use professional photography equipment to shoot during this concert, and there was no clear video of the fan shooting, but it did not affect the fans who watched the first performance and the audience went back to the fan club. Or promote and show off in your own small circle. Not long after the concert ended, several fanclubs of EXO immediately became lively.

"The first performance of the second tour was a complete success! I also watched the first tour last year. Both the lighting effects and the stage design have really improved a lot. The atmosphere on the scene is also very good. The support from Aili is super strong. I really enjoyed it! I really want to See it again……"

"The stage effects and atmosphere are particularly explosive, the Obamas are so handsome!"

"This year's second tour is indeed better than last year's first tour. In addition to the large screen, elevators, lighting and other equipment that have been significantly optimized, the main reason is that a lot of new songs released recently have been added. The comebacks of XO this year are very explosive. The songs are very popular, and the performance of these current hot songs in the concert can really drive the atmosphere, plus the previous classic hits, so it is basically high from the beginning to the end, it is really exciting."

"By the way, there are two new songs that have never been released. One of them is so hot that I want to jump up. There is also a teaser version of the title song of the last single album "L". Although it is not complete, it is really good. It sounds good, it's very addictive and I can sing it after listening to it once..."

"There was also the birthday celebration for Yuan at the end, it was really touching, I felt like I was about to cry when I saw Yuan, I cried myself, ahhh, it's been so long since the end, until now my mind is full of singing The picture of the meeting..."

"New song! There's also a new stage featuring the trailer! There's also Yuan Oppa's birthday celebration, ahh, I'm so envious..."

After watching the first show, the audience came back and told the general situation, which immediately caused a sensation among the fans. Many Aili who didn't buy the tickets for the first show, or didn't get tickets at all, were full of envy.

Tickets for the first performance are already the most sought-after, plus it happens to be Chi Jingyuan's birthday on May 5th, this is a very coincidental and special day, which makes all his fans excitedly looking forward to it.

It's a pity that compared with the huge fan group willing to pay and the number of passers-by audiences called under the name, the tickets for the first game of more than 1 are still too small, so many people who didn't grab the tickets for the first day Source fans were deeply disappointed.

Now being said by those who watched the whole scene at the scene for the first time, it is even more sour in their hearts.

"What about the new title, is there any audio..."

"It's really nice, the style is very distinctive, and the melody is very catchy. I can already sing the chorus."

"I really want to hear it, can you sing it?"

"Kkkk annoyance!"

……

After various announcements, reports, and revelations raised the expectations of the outside world, as well as the curiosity of fans and passers-by, EXO continued to hold a second performance on the 14th, except for the absence of Chi Jingyuan’s birthday celebration. Fans were a little disappointed, but it also ended successfully without any problems.

And on the 15th, the EXO group, together with their managers, appeared on the campus of Yonsei University in Seodaemun, Seoul.

May is the anniversary month of Peninsula University, and various colleges and universities will hold grand celebrations, bringing various colorful activities to college students, and the 5th happens to be Teacher’s Day, which is also the most important day for many school celebrations. The main stage will be set up in the widest place, and many popular artists will be invited to perform. Most of the school's students will come to watch. In addition, some schools will also open their doors to welcome guests from all over the world to join in the celebration. It was an extremely lively leisure carnival.

As the hottest boy group nowadays, especially among the younger generation of women, EXO has naturally received invitations from many schools. It’s a pity that the timing of several school celebrations coincides with the time of EXO’s concert. At the same time, because the problem of performance fees is also very realistic, after some consideration, the only vacant number 15 in the middle is naturally reserved for Yonsei University, the alma mater that Ji Jingyuan is currently studying.

Such a lively scene naturally makes people want to go for a stroll, but no matter how curious they are, it must be mainly for work. Chi Jingyuan and the others went to the main stage directly after finishing their styling in the beauty salon early in the morning. , After greeting the school, they started queuing up for rehearsal.

"The sun is so hot, but your heart is like still water."

"Whose fault is it, we used to love each other so much, babe..."

At the backstage entrance of the main stage, Chi Jingyuan stood next to several members who were chatting quietly, listening to the music of the rehearsal of the hip-hop duo Leessang, his body swayed slightly, and his hands clasped his chest to follow the rhythm and melody the beat.

He quite liked the song "The Woman Who Can't Break Up".

Today, Yonsei University invited a lot of popular artists to participate in the performance. Apart from EXO, which is more popular, there are also many familiar faces. Apart from the few who just said hello backstage, Leessang who is rehearsing is one of them.

Because of the stage built temporarily, the backstage setup is relatively simple, because the space itself is not big, there are many groups of artists and their manager assistants need to use, plus the school organizers and student volunteers who came to help , There are a lot of people coming in and out, and the sound is noisy and the sound insulation is relatively poor. Some artists are too lazy to stay inside and simply come out to join in the fun, such as their EXO.

While listening to the music, Chi Jingyuan looked at the venue of the main stage.

This is a large open-air theater inside the Yonsei University campus. It has a large area and is generally in the shape of a circle. The seats start from the stage in a regular ladder and continue to extend upwards. It is empty and vast at first glance. The ring shape allows the sound It also became very prominent, and the music played on the stereo was now coming and going in the theater, producing echoes.

At this time, the students hadn't come yet because it was too early, but the whole venue could accommodate a very large number of spectators. Chi Jingyuan, who once had a solo school celebration performance, had a deep understanding of this.

If there are no accidents in the Yonsei University celebration, the main stage will be here. He was invited once last year because of his status as a student, so he has some experience.

"I haven't participated in the university's celebration yet... How's the atmosphere here at Yonsei? I heard it's very lively."

After looking around for a while, Wu Shixun and Jin Junmian whispered a few words, then asked Chi Jingyuan a question.

This is the first time for EXO to participate in the performance of the school celebration since its debut, and many members basically have no experience as college students to join in the fun, so except for Ji Jingyuan, everyone else has little experience.

"It's very lively. When the afternoon starts, you will know how many people there are. It's not worse than a concert, and the atmosphere is even better." Chi Jingyuan nodded. He had the most emotions and time when he was a college student. The understanding is quite deep.

After answering a sentence, Chi Jingyuan's expression became weird, and he turned to look at Wu Shixun with a very curious look: "Brother Xiumin is preparing to take the postgraduate entrance examination, why didn't you think about taking the college entrance examination at that time? Didn't fans say that?" Can you get full marks in high school mathematics?"

The tone was full of jokes and provocations, and the brothers next to him couldn't help laughing.

This stalk made them, the insiders, laugh a little.

"..." What responded to him was a white eye and a raised middle finger.

"By the way, Jingyuan, I feel that Yonsei is very lively here. You are not a student, so you can take us to visit later." Jin Junmian seemed very interested in Yonsei, and after looking around, he made a suggestion .

Seeing that several people were a little moved, he directly gestured: "I will be free after the rehearsal is over, and then we will go around."

Speaking of which, although Chi Jingyuan's grades are mediocre, the number of times he came to school is not too much. In the past few years, the good times at the end of each year are outdated, but he is really not a good student.But he still has feelings for his alma mater. After all, it was the school where he studied hard and was admitted. He is also considered to be highly educated among a group of junior high school artists in the peninsula. He also has some pride. Will not refuse.

"XO, dress rehearsal!"

After waiting for about an hour, it was finally EXO's turn. The nine members in private clothes greeted the staff and walked onto the stage, which immediately attracted the attention of many college student volunteers.

Soon the music started, and EXO, who stood in formation, began to move along with the melody of the music, rehearsal.

Today they have a total of 5 songs on the stage. Counting the greetings and intervals, there is almost 6 minutes of performance time, which is already a very long performance.

The school celebration performances usually start from the afternoon to the evening. Because the time span is very long, there will naturally be a lot of time for each group of artists. For example, Leessang just now has nearly four to ten minutes of stage time. The ten-song stage is no different from a small concert.

Although in the case of school celebration performances, some economic companies will charge a part of the performance fee accordingly, but some companies will also care about this, and the fees charged by groups of different levels are naturally different. EXO is the most popular group at the moment. Naturally, the performance fee is also the highest one. I don’t know who released the news in the past two days. For the Yonsei University celebration, EXO has collected nearly [-] million won in performance fees for the stage of five songs. This figure In a performance case like a university celebration, it can be called a sky-high price.

To be honest, the performance fee for EXO’s first time to participate in the school celebration performance is indeed a bit high. This price can already invite three or four groups of first- and second-tier groups to come to the school to perform. Like the rehearsal of leessang just now, the performance of ten songs, I guess The performance fee is less than a fraction of EXO's, and the gap is still obvious.

It is estimated that few schools can afford this high fee, that is, Yonsei University is considered to be the rich group.

The reason why these top universities spend a lot of money every year to invite popular artists to perform is because the tuition and accommodation fees of peninsula universities are quite high and not cheap. Students actually have a say in the lineup for the school celebration. If you are not satisfied If the performance lineup invited by the student union can be directly protested to the school on SNS and other platforms.

If the invited team is very strong, it will naturally satisfy the students. While it can play a publicity role, it can also show the school's aggressiveness and wealth to a certain extent.

The fact that the school invites idols to perform on stage does not mean that everyone has the opportunity to watch idols for free. Some schools open their doors and let tourists come in for sightseeing at will, because they may invite people who are not very popular. A combination of three and four lines.

But on the other hand, some wealthy people can hire a luxurious lineup of performers, such as Uncle Psy and EXO. The schools of artists such as EXO may also be very strictly managed. They will not sell tickets or open to the outside world, and even strictly check their student ID cards, such as It is Sungkyunkwan University and Kyung Hee University, both of which only allow undergraduate students to participate, and will also remove the photo on the student ID card.

They are still alive.

The setting of the main stage is relatively ordinary, it is a simple 'soil' shaped stage, surrounded by various lighting and audio equipment, and a large LED display screen behind it, other than that, there are no fancy things, such as There are no fireworks, no lifts and the like.

The area of ​​the theater is very large, but the area of ​​the stage is quite small. It is better if there are fewer people. If there is a large group of nine people like EXO, they cannot stand in a straight line unless they stand in a row horizontally or diagonally. , In the end, one or two people were squeezed out.

Chi Jingyuan and the others discovered this problem when the rehearsal just started.

And because there are indeed a lot of equipment and lighting placed on the edge of the stage, the space for dancing is also backlogged a lot. When there are too many people, the formations and positions cannot be lined up, the formations are not aligned, and some dance moves cannot be arranged. Fully stretched, this actually affects the overall stage effect.

But the school celebration is not a concert. For many students, seeing artists is enough. This kind of performance...

The main thing is an atmosphere.

Of course, the attitude must still be serious.

"Let's go."

After the rehearsal was over, Chi Jingyuan greeted his manager and left the main stage with four interested members, ready to visit Yonsei's campus.

The five people were all wearing private clothes, hats instead of masks, and walked unsteadily beside the road. Except for Ji Jingyuan, the other four were Oh Se-hoon, Kim Jun-myeon, Do Kyung-soo and Byun Baekhyun. I am very interested in the scenery and cultural landscape here, and I keep looking around.

"The location of our school is good, but you can't go directly by subway...the affiliated hospital is on the right side of the school. I have been there once. The equipment is relatively advanced and it is considered a modern hospital. It is very convenient for students to see a doctor."

"The library is over there, and the school badge is hung on the building next to it. Yonsei's school badge is a pattern of a torch and a library, representing truth and freedom. It can be regarded as adhering to the basic spirit of Jidu religion, although I don't think it's interesting... ..."

In order to visit, Chi Jingyuan took a few people back to the place close to the school gate and started to walk in from the beginning, pointing to the surroundings as he walked and making introductions. He, a current student, transformed himself into a tour guide in front of several members, although He didn't know a lot, and some things were read in books or listened to by others, but it was enough to take a few low-educated high school students to appreciate the humanistic charm of well-known universities in the peninsula.

"There is a relatively famous scenic spot in the innermost place. It is one of the oldest buildings in our school. I remember it was built in 1922. I remember it was called 'Yin Dongzhu Dormitory Building'. It seems to be called that, but I have never been there. I don’t know him very well.”

"Don't you know Yin Dongzhu? A famous poet in modern times." Bian Baekhyun glanced at him, his tone and eyes were a little strange.

"I know Yoon Dong-joo, he has studied at Yonsei University before..." Wu Shixun couldn't help showing a mocking face immediately: "You still have the nerve to say that you are a student at Yonsei? How many times have you been here for two or three years?" ah?"

It was a little embarrassing to accidentally miss the stuffing, but Chi Jingyuan had already practiced it, so he continued to nod and walk ahead as if he didn't hear it.

The five of them are quite eye-catching. After all, their auras are obviously different from those of ordinary colleges. Some people on the road couldn't help but cast their gazes over after seeing their faces. Naturally, they were full of surprise after seeing their faces clearly.

However, Chi Jingyuan, as a very well-known student at school, is quite famous among his classmates. Every time he went to school, he would meet many classmates, so it did not cause any confusion.

"It feels... a bit ordinary." After walking for a while and looking all the way, Jin Junmian hesitated for a while, and smacked his lips a little disappointed.

As one of the most famous universities on the peninsula, the reputation here is still very big, but after walking around for a while, they didn't feel like the academic sanctuary they imagined. It was neither particularly elegant nor modern. No less, it is very ordinary.

"Indeed, if you look at the style of the single-wheeled building and the overall style, Yonsei is actually not very good. In terms of elegance and retro, it is not as good as Korea University, and in terms of modernization and hardware facilities, it is definitely not as big as Seoul."

Chi Jingyuan didn't deny it either, the facts were there, and he thought so at first.

He didn't explain much, but led a few people towards the second half of the school, crossed several roads, and came to the core of the campus from the depth. The teaching building suddenly quieted down a few people. The green vines and creepers walking on the wall added a deep sense of tranquility to the whole house and the surrounding environment, as if they had come to a medieval garden.

The breeze blows, the leaves tremble slightly, and there seems to be a layer of deep and heavy breath brewing in the fresh air.

In the deepest part of the core, the vicissitudes and antiquity of the school founded in 1885 are still preserved, and the sense of profound historical heritage slowly overflows, but it is only a few hundred meters away from the park in front, but it gives people a sense of A completely different feeling.

The sense of thickness that travels through time and space comes not only from the walls covered with green vines, but also from the verdant old brick walls and elegant and ancient window sills.

Chi Jingyuan looked back at the few people who were obviously shocked by the environment and atmosphere, smiled and did not speak.

This is the best part of the school he studied in.

It seems that because of the heavy feeling brought by the school's cultural landscape and cultural and historical atmosphere, the words of several high school students became less, and at the same time, they looked at Chi Jingyuan with a faint layer of envy.

It is indeed a very good place.

"It would be great if I could be a graduate student in Yonsei in the future." After turning around half a circle, he checked the time, Chi Jingyuan took a few people to eat something casually, and walked on the road after coming out. Bian Boxian watched The gradually increasing number of students around sighed and sighed.

"Excellent!" Chi Jingyuan gave him a thumbs up and praised him sincerely.

To be honest, he knows best how painful it is to catch up with studies when an idol has such a busy schedule. This brother and Kim Min-seok are still thinking about improving their education and taking the postgraduate entrance examination. awesome.

"The front is a small open-air theater. Usually, some activities are held here. During school celebrations, it will also be used as a stage to invite some artists to perform. However, in terms of excitement and level, it is not as good as the main stage."

Seeing an empty stepped square at the end of the road in the shade of a tree ahead, Chi Jingyuan briefly explained to the members.

During the school celebration, there will be cultural performances almost every day. Not only will the current popular artists be invited, but there will also be many programs rehearsed by the students in the school. Besides the main stage, which is the most grand and has the largest audience, there will also be other Some smaller open-air theaters hold some performances, and from time to time there will be well-known entertainers on stage.

"Is there a performance there today?" Jin Junmian asked casually, and then remembered the feeling of visiting along the way, and couldn't help but admire: "From this point of view, Yonsei University is really pretty good, with greenery, scenery and cultural sense. …Speaking of which, I remember that many TV dramas have been filmed here, right?”

"Well, there are quite a few, I remember the more famous ones like "If Love Has God's Will", "My Sassy Girlfriend", by the way, and "IRIS", Kim Tae-hee is really pretty in it. "

"Pity……"

Chi Jingyuan nodded, and after thinking about it, he mentioned a few familiar well-known TV series, and finally sighed lightly, not knowing what he was regretting.

"And the one played by Go Ara in "Reply 1994", I've seen it." Do Kyungsoo interjected at this time.

"Have you? I haven't seen that one. Brother, you still have time to watch these. Do you know Gao Ara?" Chi Jingyuan led them into the small theater. explain.

"We are from the same company, of course we know each other." Do Kyungsoo was a little speechless.

"I don't mean this kind of understanding, I mean...forget it."

"Jing Yuan, do you think that other people's "1994" is hotter than your "1997", so you don't want to watch it because of jealousy?" Wu Shixun speculated maliciously.

"How is it possible..."1997" is the pioneering work of the 'Please Answer' series, is it more popular than "1994"? Do you have eyes? And don't look at who the leading actor is."

A few people bickered and walked into this small open-air theater noisily. At this time, the auditorium was still empty, but there was some excitement on the stage. Several staff and volunteers were busy. There are also people who are suspected artists are rehearsing.

"There are performances here too."

While saying something curiously, several people were going to take a closer look, but they had only just approached a few steps, when a few tentative greetings suddenly came from behind.

"senior……"

Chi Jingyuan, who felt that the voice was slightly familiar, paused, and looked back together with the others. Just as he turned his head, several familiar faces came into view, which made him blink involuntarily, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. one time.
