Chapter 55: Picture Sense
The air conditioner in the nanny's car is probably broken, and the weather in Seoul, which is approaching the end of June, is already a little hotter, and the sun hanging in the sky is baking Wang Nanqian, who is sitting by the car window, is very sad: he feels that his back has begun to sweat constantly, and if he continues like this, the makeup on his face is estimated to be washed by sweat soon.
SHINee is obviously a very popular senior, why are the conditions still so difficult? Didn't you repair the air conditioner in the nanny car if it broke down? Although I wanted to complain a few words to Cui Minhao sitting in the front row, but seeing that the woman sitting next to her had maintained a very ladylike posture and didn't say anything about complaining, Wang Nanqian had no choice but to continue to endure it hard: If it weren't for Wu Zhimin, how could he take the initiative to do this side of Xiangyang? Since he has to be a gentleman, he has to taste the bitter fruit himself.
"Nan Qian Oppa, here you go. Oh Jimin smiled and took out a tissue from her bag and handed it to the restless man next to her, she had already seen that the other party was embarrassed by the hot weather: Originally, today's work arrangement had nothing to do with this person, but I don't know why he didn't go to China with the other members of EXO who continued to carry out promotional activities after ending MAMA's singing activities, but was arranged by the company to accompany her and Choi Min-ho to participate in the preparatory meeting of the SBS TV series.
Nodding gratefully to Oh Jimin, he took the tissue and gently wiped the sweat that gradually oozed from his forehead and behind his ears. It's been almost a week since he came back from Taiwan, and during this time, Wang Nanqian has been repeating the "dormitory-company-dormitory" action mode every day like the trainee era, holding back in that small studio that temporarily belongs to him, and he puts all his energy into the creation of songs: only in this way will he forget that the other members are about to meet fans in China, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia, and they have lost such an opportunity because of their own mistakes- That feeling of regret and powerlessness is not something that everyone can bearβat least Bian Boxian's guy didn't come out as quickly as he did.
Thinking of the scene where Bian Boxian locked himself in the dormitory room every day, Wang Nanqian couldn't help but have a headache, after the members left South Korea for China, he tried to pull this younger brother to talk, but the other party put on a look of not wanting to talk to others at all: that guy would only force a smile and say to himself, "Brother, I'm fine, don't worry about me" This kind of thing, although the fool knows that Bian Boxian is absolutely impossible to really be okay, but what can he say to him? Yes, after all, he has been recognized by the company for his talent in composing, but what about Bian Boxian? With the past of being temporarily removed from SHINee's debut plan, Wang Nanqian can fully feel the feeling of loss and helplessness in the other party's heart.
At such a time, when encountering such a thing, probably no matter who it is, there is no way to really help him, and a person can only come out on his own.
"Brother, what are you thinking?" Choi Min-ho is going to audition for the actor today, although he keeps telling himself to be calm and calm, but the tension still inevitably fills his body and mind. After debuting for so many years, this is the first time that he has such a good opportunity to realize his dream of becoming an actor, and Choi Min-ho, who felt that his hands were trembling, heard that the two people sitting behind him broke the sultry silence in the nanny car before, and he couldn't help but turn around and talk to the brother who was closer.
"Hmm? I'm thinking, Jimin's seniors and I just collaborated on an OST together, is this your audition? This kind of preparatory meeting for a new drama that hasn't even been decided yet, why does the company want the two of us to accompany you?" Wang Nanqian, who has been "observing words and feelings" recently, has long been sensitive to Choi Minhao's strange feelings, and he tried to use ridiculous words to make this younger brother who should have been a teammate with him relax.
"I'm too idle, and I don't have any other itinerary, but what about you, Nanqian, why didn't you go to China?" Although he didn't dare to ask, since he talked about this topic, Wu Zhimin couldn't help but ask out with curiosity. EXO has received tremendous support since its debut, and although the man around him is not as explosive as Lu Han of the same team, his good reputation in the meal and his unique positioning in this group still make him a popular member of the M team second only to Lu Han: such a person, and a member from China, how could the company let him stay in South Korea? Is it really because the injury from the last fall from the stage has not healed? But now it seems that this man is no different from a normal person?
"Me?" Sneaking a sneak glance at SHINee's agent who was driving in the driver's seat, Wang Nanqian didn't dare to tell Wu Zhimin and Choi Minhao the real reason, so he had to play a serious official tone, "Mainly because the injury last time was not all healed, if the injury worsens on the overseas stage, it may affect the activities of the next official album, right? β
Is it really because of the injury? The company is famous for never thinking too much about the physical condition of the artists for the sake of activities and stages, and this reason is reasonable to explain to the media and the fans, but Wu Zhimin doesn't believe this official statement: "Nanqian Oppa, is your injury so serious?
"Brother, after finishing today's work, let's treat you to a meal, right? When this kind of thing happened, Taemin blamed himself for a long time, give us a chance to apologize, right?" As a member of SHINee, Choi Min-ho has always been sorry for the incident that happened on the stage in Taiwan last time: Wouldn't it be nice for them to walk up from the side of the stage? Why do you have to use the lifting platform to create any "surprises"?
"What is there to apologize for?" Although such an unlucky thing happened to him, Wang Nanqian never felt that a few guys from SHINee had anything to be sorry for him: he himself was going to pull Lee Taemin, and if anyone was at fault, that person should also be himself, "It's not your fault, but if you have to invite me to dinner, is it okay to eat Korean beef?"
Listening to the big mouth of this brother lion who was supposed to be a member of SHINee but ended up becoming EXO, a smile appeared on Cui Minhao's face: "No problem, anyway, it's all paid by Brother Wenliu and Taemin's kid, and my brother can eat whatever he wants." β
"I can understand Taimin's payment, why do you still get Wenliu involved?"
"Who made Brother Wen Liu the captain? The captain should be a man who stands up at this moment. β
Sure enough, whether it is EXO or SHINee, it is the most unlucky person who is the captain everywhere: thinking that those bastards of Team M have always used such and such reasons to treat themselves, Wang Nanqian couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"We arrived, it's 10 minutes later than expected, you guys hurry up and prepare, don't leave a bad impression on Director Quan and screenwriter Li. Let's do it, let'sgo" Just as a few young people sitting in the back row were talking, laughing, and chatting happily, the nanny car stopped without warning. SHINee's agent is not the same style as Lim Hyun-kyun and Lee Seung-hwan at all, and his enthusiastic style and words made Wang Nanqian, who has been accustomed to the cold temperament of the EXO agent, still a little uncomfortable for a while: after a few seconds of stunned speech, he was pushed out of the nanny car with a smile by Oh Jimin.
Although it's not the first time I've come to SBS TV, Wang Nanqian, who actually walked in the corridor and followed SHINee's economists to bow to the various staff who came and went, was originally just a "supporting role", and it was just to show the importance and sincerity of the S.M. company to this TV series called "To the Beautiful You". Could it be that he was infected by Choi Min-ho?
"Brother. β
Finally walked to the conference room with the door closed, Choi Min-ho's heart was raised in his throat, and the opportunity to realize his dream of being an actor was finally in front of him, which made him feel a little like he was back before SHINee's debut: he subconsciously grabbed the arm of the brother next to him, who was supposed to be a member of SHINee and was the most trustworthy of the six people back then, and called softly.
This kid is really the same as back then, although he always looks like a cool expression, but in his heart he is just a big boy who is very easy to shake. Looking at this younger brother's application, which seemed a little flustered, he stretched out his hand to the other party's shoulder as he did when he was practicing with SHINee and preparing to debut together, and gave him a big smile: "Minhao, you have proven how good you are over the years, don't be afraid, you must be fine, that dinner in the evening, let's book it as your celebration." β
As the director, Jeon Ki-sang, ran to the bathroom to solve his personal problems before the official meeting, and then walked back to the conference room along the corridor "physically and mentally", and happened to see this loving scene: Choi Min-ho's hesitant expression on this cool face is simply perfect, and he is simply the first choice for the actor in the film: but who is the person next to him? He has been a director for so many years, and when he sees these two people standing together, a picture full of camera sense has automatically appeared in his mind.
The boy next to Choi Min-ho should also be from S.M. Company, right? Years of directing experience made Jeon Ki-sang notice this kid at once: although he didn't look very handsome at first glance, his smile and that delicate, soft-line face would definitely give people a full impact in front of the camera.
Is S.M. asking for a role in the drama for this kid? Jeon Ki-sang's faint sense of unhappiness: even if you cooperate comprehensively, you can't ignore your feelings as a director, right?
"Hello Director Jeon, this is Choi Min-ho from SHINee. SHINee's agent recognized the identity of the white-haired Mediterranean man who walked over at the first time, and he quickly pulled Choi Min-ho to take two steps forward, bowed and greeted.
"Hello, I'm Jeon Ki-sang, the director of this film, and the two behind you are also artists from S.M. Company? Aren't we just going to take a look at Min-ho at this meeting? The male and female No. 1 have already been arranged by your company, and this is to add some new content to it?" Nodding his head, Jeon Ki-sang grabbed his director's shelf and quietly asked the question in his heart. The drama "To the Beautiful You" is an idol drama adapted from the comics, and in order to make this new drama a complete "idol" drama, SBS has already reached many agreements with S.M. in private: not only in the selection of the hero and heroine, it was determined that the artists of S.M. would play from the beginning, and even OST was all thrown to S.M. for production early.
"Oh, this is NAN, a member of our company's rookie EXO, who just debuted this year, and this is our company's J-min, and this time the OST was created by these two together. In order to show the company's importance and sincerity in this cooperation with all directors, we also brought the OST that has been preliminarily completed this time, hoping to get some opinions from the directors and screenwriters. β
"Is it an OST of male and female duets?" Sure enough, it was an artist from S.M. Company, but it didn't look like he was going to forcibly add something to his new work this time, which greatly satisfied Jeon Ki-sang's self-esteem: when he saw this child at first sight, he felt that this person was very appropriate to the image of a character in the play, and if it wasn't for the deliberate arrangement of S.M. Company, he wouldn't mind asking for an audition on his own initiative.
"No, this OST is sung by J-min. β
What the hell is this boy singing? I've been recuperating lately, and I don't know much about what's going on in the new idol world, except that it seems that S.M. has indeed launched a new group called EXO, but Jeon Ki-sang, who doesn't know anything about the members of this group, is confused and looks at the boy who has been standing there in a proper manner.
Feeling the gaze of this man who looked like he was just a middle-aged man, but his hair was almost white, Wang Nanqian quickly bent down: "Hello Director Quan, I am the lyricist and composer of this UST, please give me a lot of advice." β
Lyrics, Composer, So Young, Is S.M. Crazy?
Jeon Ki-shang looked at the boy incredulously, and his eyes widened subconsciously.
