Peninsula Asteroid

It is said that it is Mnet, but it is not the headquarters, but a studio broadcast studio under CJ\u0026EM. It is located in Sangam-dong, Mapo District. It is usually used for shooting and production of some variety shows. The recording of "sixteen" is in this place.

"Jing Yuanxi's side."

As soon as Chi Jingyuan and Park Jae-hyun walked in, they were squatted down by the JYP staff, and greeted him enthusiastically. Chi Jingyuan smiled and chatted with him, and then followed the other party who took the initiative to lead the way towards the elevator. He walked in the same direction, without responding to the sporadic curious gazes from around him.

Because he was going to record the show, he had already gone to the beauty room to have a hairstyle. His short and medium black hair was a little messy, and the bangs on his forehead were gently raised to reveal more than half of his forehead. Because it is a variety show, I didn't draw more delicate stage makeup, but simply covered it a little, and the overall look was refreshing and natural, without any unnecessary cumbersome feeling.

The dark blue hooded denim jacket is lined with a pure white crew neck shirt. The slightly longer hat rope dangles as you walk. The lower body is light-colored trousers and white sneakers. The overall style is casual and has a sense of fashion and movement. , It doesn't look like the most popular trending idol at present, but it looks a bit like a college student who is out for an outing.

In the middle of the T-neck shirt covered by the coat, a plump blue fat man is looking at the front seriously and saluting, which adds a contrasting sense of humor to the whole person.

This lined dress is one of his favorites. If it doesn't fit when we're going to record, it's OK to fasten the button of the jacket to block it.

"The recording of "sixteen" is in the studio built on the basement floor..."

"Jing Yuanxi should be familiar with this place."

Along the way, the staff actively introduced him. Facing the other party's accusation, Chi Jingyuan got off the elevator and glanced at the "sixteen" program stand in front of him, looked at the narrow corridor next to him, and tapped nodded.

This place is indeed very familiar, and I have come here many times for various programs over the years. Most of the places under ment have the same decoration style. The narrow backstage is their signature style, and the corridor with only three people’s width is the impression of Chijingyuan. the deepest place.

"President Park Zhenying is currently communicating with the program team, and will come over later."

"Nai, I see."

"Kangsang Mita."

Nodding to the staff to express his gratitude, Chi Jingyuan walked into the lounge and sat on the sofa. After closing the door, Park Jae-hyun took a bottle of mineral water from his bag and handed it to Chi Jingyuan. He looked around and took a look at the decoration: "JYP It’s quite warm over there.”

"Always been this way."

Chi Jingyuan responded, took a sip of the mineral water, took a sip, then took out the program materials from the bag, leaned on the sofa and turned over.

The program "sixteen" is a female idol selection survival program jointly planned by JYP Corporation and mnet. A total of 16 female trainees participated in various singing, dancing and other training and assessment.

At the same time, in each period, the trainees with good performance will be upgraded to the 'major group' according to the assessment results, and the trainees with poor performance will be reduced to the 'minor poor student group'. At the same time, one person will be eliminated from the 'poor student group' in each period.

In the end, the remaining seven members of the major group will debut as JYP's new girl group.

The program is quite cruel, but after all, it is to select a new girl group that can improve the company's bad situation. It is normal to be strict, and the overall process and model are quite novel.

"Bang bang."

Before reading the materials for a few minutes, there was a knock on the door of the lounge. Before Park Jae-hyun could respond, the door was pushed open. Pei Xiuzhi poked his head in and took a look. After seeing Chi Jingyuan, he became clear. With a smile, he nodded to Park Jae-hyun who stood up and said hello, then walked in sideways.

"Are you really here to be a judge?"

Chi Jingyuan raised his head and glanced at her. The blue plush sweater with clean face was paired with jeans and high heels. It was simple to wear, but it looked very comfortable when worn on Pei Xiuzhi's body with a sense of fashion. The drape is draped over the shoulders, the makeup is exquisite, and the garnet red lipstick looks feminine.

He pouted at the sofa next to him to signal to sit down casually, then put away the documents in his hand, and asked with interest.

The task that Chi Jingyuan participated in this period is that the members of the 'poor group' challenge the members of the 'major group' in a 1V1 solo challenge. Those who win can replace the opponent's position, and those who lose will fall into the 'poor group' and those who are eliminated risk.

And whoever wins is determined by the two judges and Park Zhenying, and the minority obeys the majority.

I heard Park Zhenying say that Pei Xiuzhi might be the judge of this episode, but during a private chat a few days ago, Pei Xiuzhi told him that he did not want to participate in this show, but he did not expect to come in the end.

"No way, you think I want to come, the company asked for it, I said it several times..."

Originally, after seeing Chi Jingyuan, she smiled quite nicely, but after hearing this topic, Pei Xiuzhi immediately restrained her smile, and waved her hand in a lack of interest, with an expression of 'I can't help myself in the rivers and lakes', leaning against the On the sofa, she curled her lips in disdain: "Not only will you not get any benefits, but you will probably be scolded by your fans after the broadcast, if it weren't for..."

Pei Xiuzhi didn't shy away from it, and complained a few words unhappily, but she didn't finish the rest.

Seeing her appearance, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help laughing, and nodded understandingly.

Pei Xiuzhi's mood during this period is probably not very good. MissA's return to the music source this time has achieved very good results, but it is still the old problem of the past. There are many passers-by but few die-hard loyalists, so they can't make much money. And this time, the song hit EXO all the way, even if the sound source exploded, it was still completely suppressed from the beginning to the end, just imagining it makes me feel uncomfortable.

Moreover, the new girl group from "sixteen" is clearly here to replace them. In JYP's current situation of "not as good as a Frappuccino", the resources themselves are not enough. As long as the new girl group debuts, it will basically occupy the company's Most of the resources, if Pei Xiuzhi can really participate in the recording with enthusiasm, it will be strange to pave the way for newcomers.

Thinking in another way, if it was Chi Jingyuan, he probably wouldn't even give him a good face when he saw those newcomers who were obviously going to replace him and grab his resources on the road.

But I heard that SM seems to have started a new boy group project recently...

After chatting for a while, the door was knocked again and then pushed open. This time it was Park Zhenying. After he opened the door, he saw that Pei Suzy was there, but he was not surprised at all, with a pair of small eyes smiling very kindly.

"Brother Zhenying."

"PD nim"

Seeing Chi Jingyuan and Pei Xiuzhi standing up from the sofa, they came over with a smile and patted him on the shoulder, then nodded to Pei Xiuzhi and said hello together.

President Park is wearing a simple and ordinary dark long-sleeved V-neck shirt with jeans today. If this face is not so recognizable, some people would believe that he is an uncle who sells fish cakes in Dongdaemun.

After sitting down, Park Zhenying exchanged a few casual greetings, asked about Chi Jingyuan's recent situation, then turned around and returned to today's shooting, saw the information bag he put aside, pointed to and said: "These Have you read all the documents?"

"Of course."

Chi Jingyuan nodded naturally, even if he hadn't seen it at this time, he must say he had seen it.

Not to mention that he really took the time to read it.

"How do you feel?" Hearing that, Park Zhenying became energetic, and looked at Chi Jingyuan asking questions with great interest. Seeing his appearance, he really wanted to hear the other party's real thoughts.

"Um……"

Chi Jingyuan didn't mean to prevaricate. After pondering for two seconds, he said simply: "I think the model of "sixteen" is very good. It is relatively new and competitive. When I first debuted, I was able to gain a large number of stable fans and attention... But I think there is also a fan voting session. Is the final girl group decided by fan voting? How to vote before the broadcast? "

"That's not true. The most important part of the fan voting session is to increase the popularity and popularity of the show. It is mainly used as a reference in terms of candidates. The specific personnel are still determined by the company."

"After the official broadcast and the opening of the voting window, each episode will be specially filmed and edited before the broadcast. You should understand this step."

Park Zhenying waved her hands and shook her head, but she didn't mean to be perfunctory or evasive, and she didn't seem to treat Chi Jingyuan as an outsider, so she said it very straightforwardly.

"Indeed, this is safer." Chi Jingyuan nodded and knew in his heart that whether JYP, which is in a desperate situation, can recover, it is impossible to hand over such an important girl group selection ticket to outsiders and audiences, of course the company personally to decide.

He even felt that although the recording of "sixteen" has just started and there are only two episodes, it is estimated that Park Zhenying has already thought about who will make his debut in his heart, and has already prepared a draft.

Pei Xiuzhi smiled and sat on the sidelines. Park Zhenying and Chi Jingyuan seriously discussed the advantages and disadvantages of the "sixteen" program for a while, and at the same time said that they need to be proactive when recording the program next time. Finally, they seemed to remember something. He took out his mobile phone to check the time, smiled and said, "After reading the information, how do you think the level and quality of our group of trainees are compared to your SM's... Forget it, the time is about the same." They should have finished the rehearsal earlier, and they will start recording later, just now I will take you to meet, Xiuzhi has already met."

"OK."

Chi Jingyuan and Pei Xiuzhi stood up together with Park Zhenying, pushed open the door and walked out of the lounge towards the studio. While walking, they listened to Park Zhenying's introduction to him with a slightly smug tone: "A few of them You should have seen the trainees before, when you worked with Suzy last year, you saw their performance in the company, remember?"

What Park Zhenying was talking about last year was when Chi Kyungwon collaborated on "some". That time when he went to JYP, he happened to meet Park Zhenying and the company teacher who were investigating the strength of the girl group 6MIX who was preparing to debut. A few words.

"Well, I have some impressions."

Chi Jingyuan nodded slightly.

He read the information of "sixteen" and found a very interesting thing, that is, among the JYP female trainees participating in this program, he actually knows almost half of them, or has met by chance.

In the trainee showcase held together by the two companies before, and in the 6mix that I met in the backstage of playing songs, I was very impressed with Rabbit Ya Lin Nayeon, and my friend Kong Shengyan’s younger sister Yu Dingyan. Only then did I know the name of Park Jihyo.

There are also some vague impressions at first glance, but it took me a while to remember the small Internet celebrity Kim Dahyun who once collaborated in the variety show "Raid High School", and the three Neon who passed to the police station after meeting by chance in the club The trio, Momo Hirai, Saka Minozaki, and...

As Park Zhenying pushed open the door of the lounge in front of him, his curious eyes swept out, and Chi Jingyuan's eyes just met. After a moment of surprise, Najing Nan whose pupils shrank instantly in surprise, and Mingjing Nan who opened his mouth slightly in the corner Zhou Ziyu seemed to think that he had misjudged the person.

...

To record the third phase of the SOLO competition today, Mingjing Mina got up early in the morning with the people in the same group, went to the beauty room to change the performance costumes and make styling, and then rushed to the studio and was busy with rehearsals.

Finally, I was promoted from the poor student group to the major in the last period. After the official elimination of personnel, Nai Nan, the trainee with the shortest practice time, felt very stressed. I was a little nervous and nervous today, but I just rehearsed in the studio. At that time, I also met Pei Xiuzhi, a woman, and after learning that she was actually today's judge, my mood immediately fell.

Although she is not very old, the girl's mind is also very sensitive and sharp. Through the previous few contacts, she has already felt that this senior seems to be not very pleasing to her eyes. Once or twice.

Although he didn't know the specific reason, Mingjing Nan had some guesses in his heart.

She didn't expect Pei Xiuzhi, a woman who didn't like her, to be a fair and just judge. She could only secretly think that it was bad luck, and at the same time, she became a little disappointed and anxious.

If one fails, it is really going to be eliminated...

Backstage after the rehearsal, the major and minor groups have separate rooms, the seven trainees of the major group are in the lounge, Sun Caiying and Somi next to them are very active, after chatting for a while, they face each other During the shooting of the behind-the-scenes scenes, laughter and melodrama were performed there. Even Zhou Ziyu, who had been sitting in the corner and didn't talk much, was amused, and the smiling seals sitting there clapped their hands.

But Mingjing Nan couldn't get into it because of his bad mood and unfamiliarity with them, but he stood in front of the mirror with a laugh and kept checking his makeup and clothes, recalling choreography and walking. While preparing for the stage, I tried my best to ease my emotions.

It's just that the more I think about it, the more nervous I get.

At this moment, the door of the lounge was knocked and pushed open. The tall and tall Park Zhenying walked in first, but Ming Jingnan who was standing in front of the mirror, and Zhou Ziyu who was in the corner didn't pay much attention to him. , Their attention was instantly caught by the figure behind Park Zhenying. After seeing the other person's face clearly, they looked at each other suddenly, and their minds went blank. jump up.

"Aniha Sai..."

"Senior, Aniha Sai."

Seeing Park Zhenying and the others enter the door, the lounge was strangely quiet for a while, and then all the girls immediately stood up and began to bow and salute non-stop. After stopping to look at her, Mingjing Nan glanced twice at her face, and finally stayed on Zhou Ziyu who was standing at the farthest side without missing a trace.

Seeing the girl opened her mouth slightly, her eyes were full of surprise and astonishment, and she even blinked her eyes for a while, as if she was worried that she might see the wrong person. The look you want to see.

"Jing Yuan, like Suzy, is also a guest of the judges for this episode." Facing the trainees, Park Zhenying's smile faded a lot, and she maintained her majesty and compulsion. After nodding her head, she started simple After talking for a while, then pointed to a few people: "Let's introduce myself first."

The surprise in my heart has not yet passed. After hearing that Chi Jingyuan is also here to be a judge, several people reacted differently. Mingjing Nan's eyes flickered. Much brighter.

I don't know if it was because there was one more judge to balance Pei Xiuzhi, or because she remembered the insignificant promise she had kept in her heart when they met last time.

And Zhou Ziyu on the far side was even more surprised, his mouth grew a little bit, and then seemed to reflect that his expression was a little exaggerated and he didn't manage it well, so he quickly closed his mouth and pursed it, a complex emotion came from his heart Yang Qi was a little surprised and offended, but more nervous and worried. Standing in a row with the others, she couldn't help but took a step back, her eyes were on Park Zhenying, but her peripheral vision was on Chi Jingyuan.

"Senior Naiha Saiyo, I am Yu Dingyan."

"Ha Sai, senior, I am somi."

"..."

"Senior Ha Sai, I, I am Tzuyu."

Looking at Zhou Ziyu who looked at himself with pitiful eyes and introduced himself with a slightly slow Korean, Chi Jingyuan nodded lightly, and blinked at her without showing any trace when his eyes met, but also Didn't say much, after Park Zhenying casually said a few more words, he followed him out the door, ready to go to the lounge of the 'poor students' group again.

It's just that although there was no special verbal communication during the whole process, Zhou Ziyu was inexplicably happy after seeing Chi Jingyuan's narrow eyes. The tension in his heart dissipated a lot, but he couldn't help feeling a little angry.

He must have kept silent on purpose, why are you so annoying...

"Ah, that's Ji Kyung-won, Yuan from EXO. I like him very much. Today, he and Suzy are the judges for us?" As Park Jin-young and others left and the door was closed, Somi couldn't bear it immediately. He stopped and lowered his voice and shouted in surprise.

"It's him, are you so excited?" Sun Caiying looked at her good friend and smacked her lips: "Oh, I remembered. I saw him and PD nim at MissA senior's showcase last month. He should be talking about today. It’s something about that.”

"..."

Whispered discussions started, and the chatter immediately filled the entire practice room.

Ming Jingnan's steps became a little brisk and she sat back on the sofa, and the seat happened to be next to Zhou Ziyu. Zhou Ziyu, who had been looking in the direction of the door in a daze, came to his senses immediately after feeling it. He glanced at Mingjing Nan without saying anything. He took out his mobile phone and seemed to want to send a message, but as soon as he unlocked the lock screen, it stopped again. He came down and gave up the idea after pouting very lightly.

Taking Zhou Ziyu's movements into consideration, Mingjing Nan blinked as if he thought of something, and couldn't help but take out his mobile phone as well, but the chain was not solved, and he just looked at the black screen in a trance.

…

Immediately afterwards, Chi Jingyuan followed Park Zhenying to the lounge of the 'bad student group' and met and greeted eight female trainees. He also received a room full of surprised looks and eight self-introductions with different tones.

When introducing herself, Lin Nayeon, whom she had met several times, even showed her front teeth and made a wink, which made Park Jinying laugh, and his attitude towards this girl was obviously better.

After waiting for a while, the trainees and Park Jin Young arrived at the backstage exit after being notified by the staff, waiting for the program team in front to make final adjustments. .

"Xiuzhi is okay, Jingyuan, you can't do this..."

It seemed that he was worried that Chi Jingyuan and Pei Xiuzhi were both first-time judges and had little experience. At this moment, he turned around and gestured to the two of them, asking them to try to make a casual comment.

After hearing Chi Jingyuan's somewhat perfunctory, non-offensive and substantive words like 'very good, great stage, very spiritual', he couldn't help but frowned and waved his hand: "Jingyuan, what you said There's nothing interesting about being so perfunctory. You should be more serious when doing shows. I heard from my friends that you got angry and often cursed when you were a producer for EXO. How come you have become so gentle here?"

The trainees next to me were secretly looking at this place. After hearing this, they couldn't help but look over with interest.

"How is that possible? Brother, where did you hear that?"

Chi Jingyuan looked innocent and quickly denied it: "How could I, the maknae, scold my brothers, and..."

"Okay, I don't know you yet?"

Seeing him like this, Park Zhenying waved his hand to interrupt Chi Jingyuan's words, patted his back, and said, "Don't pretend, I know you very well": "Politeness is for people who don't know you very well." People can see it, but you are not polite to acquaintances at all..."

Hearing this, Zhou Ziyu nodded quietly, looking very much in agreement.

Mingjing Nan blinked, as if he heard something interesting, and couldn't help but glance at Chi Jingyuan in front of him.

"Just treat them as trainees of your company. Now is the end of the month assessment. SM has asked you to be a judge. You can say whatever you think of, just say it according to your vision and feeling. It's not like we haven't worked together before. I still trust your vision and professionalism."

Park Jin Young's tone seemed a bit sincere, and it seemed that she had really put a lot of effort into this program: "Just tell the truth. Don't worry, no one will not be able to accept it. At this time, it is most important for them to improve their strength. Yes, don’t worry about anything inappropriate, anyway, it will definitely be edited before broadcasting, and your company will also send people to follow up on this aspect.”

"Hmm... I know, brother."

Seeing that Park Zhenying was so serious, Chi Jingyuan also put away some of his fishy attitude, pursed his lips and nodded before tentatively asking: "That is to say, I don't have a problem with whoever is good and suitable. I can choose whoever I want." who?"

"Just follow your own ideas." Park Zhenying nodded and did not deny it. Anyway, the final elimination and decision-making power rested with him. Even if the two judges gave unexpected evaluations and the result was a bit unexpected, he would still be the one to eliminate him in the end. That’s what you say.

"OK, Arathor."

Chi Jingyuan glanced at Zhou Ziyu, who had been staring at him, laughed and then gestured to express understanding.

"Then get ready to start."
