"What are you doing? I'll make you look cheerful, your smile is stiffer than a kid facing the camera for the first time! Rest for five minutes and then restart shooting after five minutes. Kim Sang-mo felt very helpless, he had been in the business of S.M. for so many years, and he had encountered all kinds of situations, but it was rare to find something as difficult as the boy in front of him.

When he first entered the studio, Jin Xiangmo didn't even notice the boy in the crowd, this boy's face was not at all as distinctive as his teammates Wu Yifan and Lu Han, and it could even be said that he looked very ordinary in this team. But when the boys came out after nearly an hour in the dressing room, Kim Sang-mo was amazed by the boy at first sight. After putting on makeup, he seems to be a different person, although he is still not a beautiful man, but there is an indescribable charm that catches the eye of Jin Xiangmo. This boy is very photogenic, and after putting on makeup, he is very suitable for the camera, and Kim Sang-mo came to the conclusion for the first time with his more than ten years of shooting experience - so he couldn't wait to call this boy to shoot first, but he didn't expect the result to be much beyond Kim Sag-mi's expectations - this boy is indeed very photogenic, and the results are very good, but he can't shoot the ideal smile, what is going on? It was rare for Jin Xiangmo to meet a model that he wanted to shoot very much, but when he encountered this inexplicable situation, he couldn't help but get annoyed and directly interrupted the shooting.

"Brother, it's terrible that you wear makeup, so I'll just call you a makeup man in the future. After the cameraman in charge of the camera angrily walked to the rest room at the back, Lu Han dared to run over and tease. He was also frightened by Kim Sang-m's black face just now, and now he wants to do something to help Wang Nanqian get back in shape.

Nearly two months have passed since the company confirmed the selection of the boy group, first the name of the group has changed from the rough temporary code name of M1 and M2 to the "extrasolar planet" EXO, and the company has even set up all kinds of magical superpowers for these so-called "alien visitors", these boys feel funny and have an urge to stand on the stage immediately and shoot various groups to promote themselves.

During the period that followed, they were given extremely intensive training every day, from the recording of their debut mini-album to the choreography of the dance, to the recording of a short film specially made for their debut, the twelve boys had almost only two or three hours of sleep a day. Physically they were exhausted, but mentally they were extremely excited, because it was their dream. After a long period of practice, they are no longer afraid of fatigue and busyness, and what they want is to be able to stand on the stage. They are willing to pay such a price in order to realize their dreams, and Park Chanyeol even forgot his birthday because his heart was full of dances and lyrics.

Wang Nanqian, like the rest of the group, has always maintained a positive attitude despite the extremely heavy training. During this period, the company confiscated all of their mobile phones, so except for the occasional time to go back to the dormitory to watch the news twice, he devoted all his energy to the production of his debut mini album. Five of the six tracks expected to be in the mini-album have been confirmed so far, including one that he wrote when he was in confinement, and although the arrangement has been taken over by the company, Wang Nanqian still squeezed out a little more sleep time that has been squeezed to the point of barely enough to make the final changes in the lyrics. With great enthusiasm for his debut, Wang Nanqian has been encouraging his teammates in the team with a smile and trying to fulfill his duties as the captain until the explosive news came last night and sank him.

They got the news two days late after their mobile phones were confiscated, and this was because they were busy with various debut preparations and didn't have time to move into the new dormitory, so Zhang Yixing was able to get the news from other Korean trainees living in the trainee dormitory.

Huang Zitao really left the company after gradually recovering his health, as he said in the hospital. During this time, Wang Nanqian and the others were too busy, and they were guarded by agents, and they completely lost any contact with the outside world, let alone being able to get news of Huang Zitao. As for where he went, there was no way to contact Huang Zitao's Wang Nanqian, they had no clue at all, they didn't expect this partner who had been with him for a year to disappear into his life so silently, Wang Nanqian felt uncomfortable and painful, and the feeling of wanting to do something for Huang Zitao but being unable to do anything made him feel deeply sorry.

With such a mood, how is it possible to make a natural cheerful expression?

The company specially invited senior stylists to make their debut looks, and arranged for them to shoot the first set of promotional photos of the EXO group early in the morning. The more he was emphasized and reprimanded by the photographer, the more he couldn't make a natural expression, until he finally angered Kim Sang-mi.

"What's so scary?" Knowing that Lu Han was here to help him get back in shape, Wang Nanqian didn't care much about the other party's jokes, he sat on a chair outside the studio in despair, annoyed that he had added trouble to the camera work.

"What's so scary? Brother, your charm value has increased more than three hundred times after you put on your makeup, isn't it scary? Lu Han walked behind Wang Nanqian and stretched out his hands to rub his shoulders for him.

Wang Nanqian had been napping when he was putting on makeup, because his phone was confiscated and he couldn't take a selfie, and he didn't know what he had become now. Enjoying Lu Han's massage, he sighed, closed his eyes and prepared to adjust his mood for the future photography.

"Brother, Zitao's affairs, we can't do anything about it. It's not your fault, why are you so self-blaming?" Lu Han and Wang Nanqian have been together for a long time, and they have long understood this brother's temper and personality, and they also know why he is in such a bad shooting state today.

"I don't know why, but I always feel indebted to him. This complicated mood can't even be sorted out by himself, let alone explained to Lu Han.

Lu Han patted the other party's back vigorously, as if he wanted to scatter all the unpleasant feelings: "Brother, in fact, Zitao's departure from the company is a good thing for him, and we should be happy." ”

Is it a good thing? Wang Nanqian didn't understand why Lu Han said this, he turned around and looked at Lu Han's smiling face in confusion.

"After our debut this time, the company will definitely not have any more men's group debut plans for two or three years, isn't it easier for Zitao to debut in other companies? Lu Han saw Wang Nanqian turn around and understood the question in his heart, so he gave him a big smile.

Why did she never think about this matter from this angle? Wang Nanqian suddenly felt clear in her heart that Huang Zitao's injury was an accident, and no one could change the outcome of this matter. If it is beneficial to Huang Zitao, it may indeed be the best choice for him to leave the company to find a new debut, he only feels that his beloved brother left the company because he did not take care of it. However, from Lu Han's point of view, making a better decision for the future on the basis of facts that can no longer be changed is indeed the path Huang Zitao should take.

Since the reality is already so cruel, you have to work hard to find hope, no matter how hard it is, you can only face it with a smile.

"NAN, COME HERE. ”

The cold voice sounded in the studio, Wang Nanqian couldn't help but shudder, although Lin Xuanjun, the agent, is usually smiling, but he is cold-blooded and ruthless when dealing with various things in the team, and the six people in the team are afraid of him to death.

Moved in front of Lin Xuanjun in an orderly manner, Wang Nanqian lowered her head and recognized her mistake first: "Brother Xuanjun, it's my bad state that has affected the progress, and I will work hard next." ”

"What are you doing? How much time do you think you have to waste?" Lin Xuanjun had a cold face, he was originally a newcomer who was about to make his debut, but he even provoked the photographer, what kind of agent would he do if he didn't reprimand?

"Brother, I was wrong, I'll adjust it right away. Wang Nanqian herself also knew that it was all her own problem that she couldn't complete the shooting, and coupled with her fear of her agent, her voice became quieter and quieter.

"You've been doing very well lately, the company has decided to return the phone to you, and is going to give you a half-day vacation after today's work. I'm disappointed with your kind of watch today, I'll give you another ten minutes later, and if you can't complete the photographer's request, don't think about your phones and holidays. Lin Xuanjun sighed in his heart, he saw how hard the oldest boy had worked hard for a while. In order to maintain his figure, in such a high-intensity fatigue battle, the boy ate almost less than one-third of the other members' portions at each meal, and had to stay up late after finishing a day's work to revise the lyrics - even Lin Hyunjun admired the boy's resilience a little. Lin Xuanjun couldn't bear to reprimand this boy, but his work was destined for him to fulfill his responsibilities, after all, he was doing things for the company.

"I'll do my best. Thank you, brother, for saying good things for us at the company. Wang Nanqian knew that their recent work would be reported to the company's senior management by Lin Xuanjun every two or three days, and he was willing to give them back his mobile phone because the agent wrote a lot of good things about them in the report.

Lin Xuanjun nodded, didn't say anything more, turned back to the lounge with a cold face, and it didn't take long for Kim Sang-gami to walk out of it again.

"I know you've been tired lately and haven't been in great shape. Is a newcomer debuting, this is all very normal. I don't know what Lin Xuanjun said to Kim Sang-ma, the photographer's tone is very gentle now, "Your other films are very good, it's just a smile, you adjust your state, even if you don't look at the camera, we can only shoot the side face, let's get started." ”

Wang Nanqian stood back in front of the green background curtain, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, after being enlightened by Lu Han, his heart was no longer full of Huang Zitao's affairs. I don't know why, at this moment, he suddenly recalled the last embarrassed shout Kim Taeyeon on the phone on the night he was drunk, this woman is really, crazy or so careless.

With a smile on his face unconsciously, Wang Nanqian felt as if he could face the camera, so he opened his eyes - and at this moment, he heard Kim Sang-m's voice of joy: "OK!
