Peninsula Asteroid

Because there was a performance the next day, Park Jin Young did not prepare for a dinner party after discussion. Instead, he directly asked all the artists to go back to their homes and rest early to prepare for tomorrow's performance.

Twice looked very lively in the nanny's car when they returned to the dormitory. This is the first time they have participated in such a large-scale concert since their debut. They have prepared for so long and put in so much effort and finally reaped the results today. I think of what they just did on the stage. With the feeling of being cheered by tens of thousands of fans, many members couldn't help but chatter non-stop.

However, the harmonious atmosphere also had some incongruities. Mingnan, who was sitting in the middle by the window, had not spoken much and occasionally glanced behind him casually.

Zhou Ziyu, who was sitting in the middle of the back row, seemed even more silent. She was holding her phone but not looking at it. She either lowered her head or looked out the window. In the middle, she even looked at someone in front of her with unkind eyes while others were not paying attention. Ernie rolled his eyes. .

However, none of the members who were busy in the front noticed the weirdness behind. Only Kim Dahyun, who was sitting next to Zhou Ziyu, seemed to have noticed something was wrong with his roommate. In just a few minutes, he turned his head to look at the maknae several times. .

She opened her mouth as if she wanted to ask something, but it seemed inappropriate.

After a while, the nanny car stopped at a red light. At the same time, Zhou Ziyu's hand had been useless. The phone she held in her hand like a brick suddenly lit up. She reacted and picked it up to take a look. She couldn't help but feel... He frowned.

Then he held it in his hand and tapped his fingers a few times without pressing on the screen, as if he was hesitating on how to reply.

"This is……"

Jin Daxian didn't know what was going on just now, but this time she understood it... because he had seen this kind of thing several times before... Finally, he came over and asked Zhou Ziyu in a low voice: "Se Yong Ou Tomoe wants to introduce you to senior again?"

It's different now that they are popular. When they first debuted, there weren't that many people around, and there weren't that many people who wanted to know them. The seniors in the company didn't treat them either warmly or lightly.

But this kind of thing is different after Twcie became popular this year. It seems that they suddenly became beautiful, their popularity became better, and more and more people wanted to know them. Some time ago, I have met them many times so far, some from outside the industry, and many from seniors in the same company who took the initiative to introduce me.

Some members are the most popular, including Zhou Tzuyu.

Zhou Ziyu looked at the text message she received but didn't think about it. Her thoughts were still lingering on before, and now she seemed very irritable. She didn't say anything when she heard Kim Dahyun's words, but just nodded silently:

"..."

…

At the same time, Chi Jingyuan was eating with his second brother in the club they had booked, laughing and chatting with several friends introduced to him by his second brother.

This group of people didn't have any arrogance in front of Chi Jingyuan. On the contrary, they seemed to be very interested in idols and the entertainment industry. They kept asking some related gossip and questions. Judging from their expressions, they seemed to want to find out tomorrow. It’s like joining a boy band to debut.

Halfway through, Chi Jingyuan's cell phone placed aside suddenly vibrated. He didn't bother to care about it at first, but just glanced at it casually. When he saw the sender, he was stunned for a moment, and then quickly picked up the cell phone to read. got up.

It was actually Pei Zhuhyun who sent it.

"Taeyeon Unnie asked me to go out with you tomorrow... You didn't ask her to do it, right?"

After no contact for a long time, the young lady's tone seemed a little unfamiliar... but the taste was still the same. Chi Jingyuan could roughly guess the worries and entanglements in her heart at a glance.

Looking at the words on the screen, Chi Jingyuan seemed to be able to picture her hesitating while holding the phone.

He chuckled and typed quickly:

"You know me so well, don't you think so?"

There seemed to be some hesitation there, or maybe it was because I hadn't texted my boyfriend for a long time, so the reply was a little slow: "...I don't know."

"really do not know?"

"...Probably, no."

I have to say that the young lady really knows Chi Jingyuan very well and knows that he will not find anyone to be a lobbyist... But when she thinks of the reasons and experiences of being close and familiar with Kim Taeyeon, she feels a little grand.

"You are Irene, be more confident..." Do you know Taeyeon's reaction after knowing something about us? "Chi Jingyuan responded to his second brother's teasing and stopped eating for a while. He sat there with his cell phone and sent a message.

"What?" Obviously, Pei Zhuxuan was still very curious.

"She scolded me severely, and the scolding was very unpleasant. Now she doesn't pay much attention to me anymore. She even looks disgusted when we meet her occasionally... It's obvious that I have such a close relationship with her."

After this message was sent, there was no movement. Chi Jingyuan thought that Pei Zhuxuan fell silent again and did not want to talk. After waiting for a while, he sighed inwardly and put down the phone to end this long-lost short-term contact.

However, after a while, the phone finally received a reply and lit up again, with only two short words:

"Deserve it!"

Although the tone was not very good and had a depressing sense of relief, a reply was better than silence... Chi Jingyuan looked at the concise and clear text message and shook his head.

You are beautiful and everything you say is right!

…………

Early the next morning, a group of people wearing ball caps, wearing work name tags, and holding long guns and short cannon photography equipment poured into SM's new building in Cheongdam-dong. After communicating with EXO's manager, they entered They entered their dedicated practice room, began to set up various camera positions, and began to communicate about the shooting process of today's program.

This group of people are from the staff of MBC TV station's "Infinite Challenge" program team. They are here today to officially start the filming of the most important special episode of "Infinite Challenge" in this period, the cooperation project of Yoo Jae Suk \u0026 EXO.

This special episode comes from the "Letter" special episode of "Infinite Challenge" at the beginning of the year. In the program, a group of MCs put "challenges they must do this year" into the mailbox. Among them, Huang Guangxi's mission to Yoo Jae Suk was "it must be completed with EXO within 2016" Stage collaboration. ’

This episode caused a huge response among fans after it was broadcast. It was just a letter for the effect of the program. It had attracted countless eyeballs and heat even before the news was officially confirmed. The program team and SM also hit it off. , agreed on the follow-up cooperation plan.

...In fact, before the "Letter" special episode was aired, SM, the program team, and Yoo Jae Suk had already had an intention to cooperate, otherwise the scene of assigning the task would not have been aired.

After discussion, the specific cooperation plan has been finalized. Simply put, EXO and Yoo Jae Suk will collaborate on a new song and perform together on the official stage at EXO's concert in Thailand in September.

In other words, it’s not something you do casually. Just singing a song or something like that, Yoo Jae Suk really wants to join the EXO team, become one of them, practice the dance of the new song together, and also go on a real stage to perform together.

You must know that it takes a lot of time and sweat to practice a dance song from learning to dancing to performing on stage. This is true for an idol, let alone a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties, and There will be recording in the middle, so this cooperation is not just for fun for Yoo Jae Suk and the "Infinite Challenge" program team. On the contrary, it is very serious and is treated as the most important project in the second half of the year.

At the same time, this song will be specially shot for MV and audio recording, and will be officially released as the 32nd song in SM's "Station Subway Project" this year.

And "Infinite Challenge" will also make a special issue for this, and will follow and film all their preparations for a long time. From learning dance, to dance practice, rehearsal, and formal performance, all the processes will be filmed, and finally form this issue. Special episode of "EXO \u0026 Yoo Jae Suk Dancing King".

What's important is that after negotiation, all proceeds generated from this song will be donated to help charity.

In this era where Kpop always likes to talk big and issue some exaggerated and eye-catching titles, in this era where everyone can say that they are the 'best, the highest, and the most popular', this collaboration between EXO and Yoo Jae Suk is truly real. A well-deserved 'special collaboration'.

It can be said that this is a truly topical collaboration song. It has been noisy from the beginning of the year to the middle of the year. In the meantime, fans and show viewers kept mentioning it, without the company hyping it up, and the topic and popularity never disappeared.

Countless fans have been looking forward to it since the beginning of the year, and today we are finally launching this project.

When the camera opened, Yoo Jae Suk was dressed as an MC as usual, walking around EXO's practice room with a water glass in hand. He seemed not in a relaxed mood and was a little anxious.

The first episode of the show will be filmed soon, the first meeting of the collaborators from both sides.

"You seem a little nervous." A voiceover came at this time.

"Of course."

Liu Zaishi, who was walking around, seemed to have suddenly found an outlet for venting. He immediately looked at the camera with a matter-of-fact expression: "This is XO, XO!!"

He kept waving his hands with an exaggerated expression, as if he wanted to use actions to show EXO's status in the music industry today... If it were to be officially broadcast, a VCR would probably be inserted here, using various exaggerated tones and vocabulary. Describe some of XO's achievements.

"Of course we know EXO." The voice-over sounded very calm: "Is this your first time to collaborate with XO?"

"...Well, that's not it either."

Hearing this, Liu Zaishi was stuck, and then he laughed: "We have done programs together before..."

As he spoke, he looked like he was reminiscing, squinting his eyes slightly and full of enjoyment: "And we just participated in the Song Festival with Yuan last year. We felt very happy at that time. Today we have to cooperate again." Yes, really, tsk tsk..."

"But you and Yuan Xi were not in the same group at last year's Gayo Festival." However, the voiceover directly exposed him rudely, and before Liu Jae Suk could refute, he stabbed him again:

"Their group's "Rooftop Room" also defeated your and Park Jin Youngxi's "So Sexy" in the final vote."

"Hmm...ah haha..."

Liu Zaishi, who originally wanted to start a relationship, was speechless for a moment and laughed awkwardly.

At this time, the door to the practice room was opened, and EXO members filed in. Many of them looked lazy, as if they had just woken up. Some of them didn't even put on makeup, and just came in private clothes and hats. .

But there are also some people who have their hair blown up and their eyeliner exquisite, showing off their scheming.

"Anihasay..."

The eight members shook hands with Yoo Jae Suk and greeted him one after another. Soon a group of people sat on a row of chairs and began their first introduction.

"Kai Xi, are you injured?" After saying hello and taking a seat, Yoo Jae Suk looked at Kim Jong In who had just walked in on crutches and was still wearing a plaster on his leg and asked with concern.

"Sorry, I was injured at the concert before." Kim Jong-in looked at his feet and nodded.

"Can we still catch up with the song this time?"

Kim Jong-in smiled bitterly: "I don't know yet. It depends on the recovery situation... No, I will participate in the whole process and try to stand on the stage with hyung."

"You must pay attention to rest... Oh, yes, 1, 2, 3, 4..."

Liu Zaishi raised his head and circled around as if counting. After counting, he found that there were only eight EXO people present. After thinking for a long time, he realized that one person was not here: "Why didn't Yuan Xi come?"

He looked for a long time but didn't see the most familiar Chi Jingyuan.

"Oh, Yuan has something to do today. He went to the crew for a meeting." When he asked, Jin Junmian quickly explained the reason with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Yoo Jae Suk immediately understood and sighed with envy: "Hey Yigu, he is already a successful actor."

"Hehehe..." The EXO group laughed in agreement, and the atmosphere seemed to be great.

Then, Liu Zaishi asked worriedly: "But aren't we going to learn dance later? If Yuan Xi doesn't come with us, doesn't the progress matter?"

"Don't worry, brother." Jin Junmian smiled and waved his hand:

"He will work overtime by himself at night."

…

At this time, in the large conference room belonging to the "Goblin" crew in the tvN building, the main actors and managers of the crew were all seated. The main creative staff were also present. Director Li Yingfu had just finished talking about some matters about the formation of the crew and his requirements for filming.

Today, the crew of "Ghost" held a meeting, and all the actors who had signed contracts and were confirmed to appear came here to meet and get to know each other, and then began to announce the progress of the crew's formation and filming plans.

Chi Jingyuan sat at the head of the left side of the conference table, and Pei Xiuzhi, who was sitting next to him, exchanged glances.

This woman looked particularly pure in her long plain dress, and the director was very serious when he spoke just now.

From Chi Jingyuan's point of view, you can see that the script in her hand is full of traces of writing and drawing. Various annotations she made have covered the entire page. The script that was originally made of hard paper has been replaced by her. It turned a little soft.

It can be seen that she really attaches great importance to her role this time, and her attitude is extremely correct.

As far as Chi Jingyuan knows, Bae Suzy has indeed been studying her script very carefully recently and put in a lot of effort after her role was officially confirmed.

The ratings for the tenth episode of "Wandering Attachment" aired at the same time have dropped to 8%. Various negative reviews and dissatisfaction have flooded all discussions about this TV series. This previously highly anticipated episode Two TV series released simultaneously in China and South Korea can already be declared a failure.

The resources in the Peninsula film and television industry are very tight and in demand. The failure of any work of a leading star will have a great impact on the actors, directors and writers. If there is no company to vigorously supply follow-up resources, there will be a long period of time. There is not enough time to receive new dramas, and if you make two movies in a row, you can almost say goodbye to mainstream resources.

Of course, some people are exceptions.

The failure of "Any Attachment" this time had a big impact on Bae Suzy. Even if he hadn't seized the right opportunity to win the role, if the situation were to continue according to the current situation, even with the help of Ji Jingyuan, it would probably be a big deal. Difficulty...

So this opportunity is extremely important to her... I wonder if there is any reason why she didn't even attend a family concert like JYP Nation... She seems to know that her acting skills are still a bit weak. He devoted himself to studying the script, and even flirted with Chi Jingyuan less frequently.

Only when she turned her head and gave her a very flirtatious look while no one was paying attention, did she reveal a hint of her well-hidden nature.

Chi Jingyuan ignored her and turned to look opposite, where the other leading actors of the crew were sitting.

Li Yingfu has just announced that preparations for "Ghost" have begun and will be officially completed by the end of the month, and the time for everyone to join the team for filming will be between the end of August and the beginning of September.

And now, the actors for most of the roles have been confirmed. The second male lead, Wang Li, who has many scenes opposite Chi Jingyuan in the play, is played by Li Dongxu.

This guy has a lot of experience as an actor. He debuted as an actor in 1999. He once became famous through the drama "My Girl" and became one of the Hallyu stars. He was still very popular at the time.

It's just that there haven't been any big hits in the follow-up. In recent years, his career has shown a clear downward trend. He even took part in many regular variety shows without hesitation as an actor. The most recent TV series he filmed was "" with tvN" last year. "Bubblegum" has an average viewer rating of almost 1%, which can only be said to be neither boring nor popular.

It seems that a lot of effort was put into competing for the role of "Goblin" this time. Chi Jingyuan heard that his agency and he had been active for a long time some time ago, but he was finally selected because he was more suitable for the role. Just now it seemed that he was treating the tasks of the crew Shi Ye also seemed very serious, and obviously regarded this drama as an important factor in becoming popular.

This guy was born in 1981 and debuted in 1999. Chi Jingyuan was still in elementary school when he debuted as an actor. The two of them are not from the same era. In addition, he seems to not like talking very much. Although he greeted him politely, But Chi Jingyuan didn't communicate much with him.

But one thing is very interesting. After the two leading actors were confirmed, the crew discovered that the character of Wang Li played by Li Dongxu was somewhat similar to that of Ji Jingyuan's Jin Qian... Li Dongxu did a really good job in maintenance, although it was not as good as the one played by Li Dongxu. Chi Jingyuan is more than one year older, and he and Girls' Generation are both born in the 80s, but after makeup, he looks about thirty years old. When he and Chi Jingyuan stand together in the drama, they are somewhat similar and cannot express the image of the character. Features.

After discussion, it was decided to assign the "uncle" role of the original protagonist to Wang Li, and add five to ten years to the appearance of the character in the play so that he can play his true self and the uncle can truly play the role of the uncle.

The second female lead is Yoo In Na, who is also a very famous actress. She is also older than Ji Kyung Won by more than one round... but one is 81 and the other is 82, which matches well with Lee Dong Wook.

Chi Jingyuan has never worked with this sister before, and is not very familiar with them... But I heard that this sister has a good relationship with Li Zhien, and Li Zhien likes to introduce friends.

Among the actors, Yook Sing-jae, who plays the male supporting role of Yoo Deok-hwa, is the most familiar with Ji Kyung-won among everyone. They are both idols of a boy band, and they debuted at about the same time. They have seen each other in various places and activities over the years. Many times, there have been many exchanges.

He had previously participated in "We Got Married" with Park Soo-young, and Bae Joo-hyun had mentioned it to Ji Kyung-won many times...

"The actors will be announced gradually tomorrow." As he said that, Li Yingfu looked at Bae Suzy: "The heroine Suzy will be the first to be announced."

In addition to the meeting today, there is another important matter: discussing with the actor's agency the casting situation of the public role, and cooperating with publicity and warm-up.

Apart from Chi Jingyuan, he was the first to make it public.

Today was just a meeting, and the formal script study meeting was held before joining the group, so it didn't take too much time. By the time it was almost noon, it was almost done, and the actors stood up to say goodbye.

Pei Xiuzhi gave Chi Jingyuan a look, and then left with her manager. After everyone else left, Chi Jingyuan stayed.

"We've already listened to the demo you sent over, Jingyuan."

Jin Enshu raised her eyes and looked at the man in front of her with admiration. She couldn't help but nod as she felt like listening to the song before it started playing: "It's really good. This intro is really great. I already liked it as soon as it started playing." This song was played, and director Li Yingfu and others thought it was very good, and it fit the atmosphere of the script very well."

Such a straightforward compliment made Chi Jingyuan laugh, and he also felt a touch of pride in his heart. The intro to this OST is a highlight in the entire song, and it is also a place where he is very confident.

As for the demo, he recorded it himself after returning home yesterday, and it was his voice throughout.

"It's just that I felt a strong sense of anticipation after hearing the intro, but after the follow-up vocals came out, I felt..."

Jin Enshu said, but suddenly changed her tone. After a moment of hesitation, she said tentatively: "I feel a bit, um, not very suitable... Jingyuan, do you think it would be better if it was changed to a female voice?" ?”
