The music center's studio was full, and the original more than 500 seats were already full, but there were still many fans with cheering cards entering the venue one after another. At a stage like a music center, which is not ranked, Fanclub fans of singers and groups are usually allowed to enter the stage, and they apply to MBC TV's music production department to get the number of attendees approved, and then organize a group to support their idols.

The singers and groups participating in the performance stage today are the most popular people in the Korean music industry today, including Girls' Generation and 2PM, which has soared in popularity, as well as the newcomer group 4minute, Lee Min-woo of the mythical group, and Moon Hee-joon, the captain of the former idol ancestor group H.O.T., and others. What's more important is that the first stage of international superstar Zixi will appear today.

Among the hundreds of fans present, there were more than 100 fans wearing uniform uniforms and holding Zixi support signs and slogans, all of them came with excitement to support their "prince", and many of them had gone to Huiya shopping mall in the morning to participate in the signing and participated in the charity sale, and now they are hurrying to the TV station to continue to support their idols.

A group of singers and groups who have a role in the music center took the initiative to visit Zixi in the waiting room of Girls' Generation, which exempted Zixi from the embarrassment of coming to the door in person, and exchanged CDs with many singers who had just released a new album, Zixi sat quietly in the waiting room and closed her eyes to recuperate. On the surface, Zixi doesn't seem to be nervous at all, but in fact, seeing so many fans entering the venue, and it is an official music program, Zixi doesn't want to mess up, and nervousness is inevitable.

The music center, like the music bank and popular songs, is clearly said to be a live broadcast, but in fact, because of some unexpected things, the live broadcast will be delayed for ten minutes. And in this kind of music program, the vast majority of singers and groups will choose to sing live, and will not play records and lip shapes.

Of course, there are exceptions to everything, the singer is sick, affects his voice or some unexpected things and can't really sing, and after communicating with the live PD, there are also CDs. There are also some newcomers who are worried that they will affect their performance because of the nervousness, and the agent will also ask for the CD.

The live CD has communicated with Zixi to see his personal wishes. When the song "Cold Noodles" was recorded in the "Infinite Challenge Song Festival", Park Myung-so was unable to sing it live because of a sudden accident, which led to the reason why he transferred the song "Cold Noodles" to Zixi to sing at the end of the year, which is no longer news in MBC.

"It's rare for me to have a live stage, of course I have to sing." Zixi rejected PD's kindness and decided to sing it for real. The song is not practiced much, but "cold noodles" is not difficult to sing, and the difficult parts have been modified. What's more important is the signing stage in the morning, which gave Zixi a lot of confidence.

One singer after another came to the stage, and a team of people performed perfectly, and the closer the time came, the more nervous Zixi became in the waiting room. I didn't even have the heart to chat with the members of Girls' Generation.,I've been sitting quietly with my eyes closed.。 The girls didn't hinder him, and they tried to keep their voices as low as possible when chatting.

"Zixi, Jessicaxi, and two more are up to you, please prepare." An FD came in to inform him.

“OPPA！ It's time for us to prepare. Jessica has changed into a sailor outfit, and she will change into a white navy suit as soon as she finishes today, and then sing "Whoever Wishes Wishes", and the stylist and makeup artist are ready to complete Sika's change as quickly as possible.

Approaching the stage, Zixi's heart beat even harder, more nervous than the first time he sat in the driver's seat of an airplane and held the joystick. Jessica, who was standing beside him, also felt Zixi's nervousness. chuckling and holding Zixi's hand, wet, "OPPA!" Don't be nervous, wouldn't the morning signing stage be great? The rehearsal just now was also very good, just do the same. ”

Zixi smiled bitterly, why didn't he know? But it was difficult to calm the nervous mood, far more nervous than during the rehearsal just now, and said helplessly: "Although there are many reporters and fans in the morning, I am not too worried about the camera lens." There were a lot of fans there, but there was no camera on it! But now it's different, it's a live TV show, but millions of people are watching it at the same time, and if something goes wrong, wouldn't it be a shame to be thrown home? ”

"Huh! I thought OPPA was not afraid of heaven and earth! It turns out that OPPA also has times when it is worried and scared. ”

"I'm afraid that my mistake will affect your performance." Zixi quibbled.

Jessica didn't appreciate it and said, "I don't have to worry about OPPA, let's manage myself!" ”

Moon Hee-jun walked down after the stage was completed, saw Zi-hee and Jessica standing in the aisle, smiled and patted the shoulders of the two, clenched his fists and encouraged, "Fighting!! ”

"Thank you!" It's finally them, and Zi Xi knows that no matter how nervous he is, he has to bite the bullet.

"Let's go!" After taking a few deep breaths, Zixi's face changed to her trademark confident smile. Although she was nervous to death in her heart, Zixi was so firm every step she took.

He has overcome countless difficulties and faced the camera for the first time, showing his talent for acting at a young age; Hold the helicopter's joystick and soar into the sky; stepped on the edge of Chinook for the first time and jumped into it; Alone in Los Angeles, self-sufficient; crossed the ocean to South Korea, where he was unfamiliar with life, to continue his dream acting career. Step by step, we have overcome all kinds of difficulties. Zixi believes that his life is just as his name suggests, as his father said: zachary, which means Hebrew for a person who is remembered by God. He will be like the illegitimate child of a lucky girl, and good fortune will always be with him.

It was noisy, and there were many people under the stage. Zixi didn't have the confidence to count them, but the applause and deafening cheers were infinitely amplified in the closed studio. Zixi couldn't hear the introduction of her songs by Yori and Tiffany, the two MCs today, and just passively followed the songs, singing and beating to the rhythm.

The lyrics of "Cold Noodles" are simple, catchy, and the beat is light and interesting. In addition, Zixi and Jessica are both wearing sailor suits and sailor hats, the image is very interesting, with funny dance steps and vivid noodle eating movements, the audience at the scene, whether they are Zixi's fans or fans of other idol singers, all applauded.

"It's cold, it's cold, it's cold; I feel that my teeth are cold, cold, cold, The heart is very cold, cold noodles, cold noodles, cold noodles; Looking at you and looking at you again, the cold body is trembling cold face cold face cold face; Very hard and tough cold noodles, cold noodles, cold noodles, cold noodles ....... "By the time the lyrics of 'cold noodles' were sung, more than half of the audience had already learned how to eat noodles with chopsticks with their fingers, and they all followed the lyrics in unison. The camera's lens is pointed at the viewer several times, and the interaction between the audience and Zixi is seen on the TV.

The applause was warm, and many viewers shouted "encore". All kinds of circumstances show that Zixi's first music program stage was a success.

Walking back to the backstage, Zixi felt his whole body relaxed, but his back was cold, he knew that his clothes must have been wet by his own cold sweat, he didn't expect that the live performance would be so different from the filming of TV series and movies. is also facing the camera, one will be seen by countless viewers in front of the TV immediately, and the other will need to be carefully crafted in the later stage to be broadcast, and the difference is obvious.

No wonder some people say that it is the actors who perform stage plays, and those in TV series and movies are stars, even if they are international superstars, who have been immersed in acting for decades, and their on-site adaptability may not be as good as that of newcomers in stage plays. The stage play is an impromptu performance, NG is not allowed, and the good and bad are clear at a glance.

“OPPA！ We did it. Jessica smiled and took Zixi's hand and said.

"Hmmm! The stage is really a place to exercise people, and it seems that I still have something to offer. Zixi laughed at herself: "It's been seven years since my debut, and this is the first time I've been so nervous in front of the camera." ”

"Huh! Then OPPA will be on the stage more in the future, and you will get used to it after a long time. Jessica said meaningfully.

"It's still free, with my level, sooner or later I will make a fool of myself on the stage." Zixi breaks Jessica's wishful thinking.

"Humph! If you don't go up, you can't get on Jessica pouted in dissatisfaction, shook off Zixi and walked quickly back to the standby room.

Zixi couldn't understand Jessica's thoughts, scratched her head, and wondered, "Where did I offend this eldest lady again?" ”

Zixi's first music stage certainly had its shortcomings, but it proved to be a success. First of all, in terms of ratings, Zixi and Jessica's stage was the highest in the entire music center time slot, far three percentage points higher than the stage of the most post-Girls' Generation. This is enough to prove that Zixi's popularity is unparalleled.

The other is that after it was broadcast in the music center, the ratings of the variety show "Infinite Challenge" soared, up nearly five percentage points from the previous issue, the main thing is that the audience is very interested in the song "Cold Noodles" and wants to completely purpose the entire song's creation process.

Another is that the song "Cold Noodles" has risen sharply in terms of search word rankings, clicks, radio on-demand rates, audio source downloads, and CD sales on the Internet, even surpassing the powerful Girls' Generation's mini-second album "Genie". Girls' Generation and 2NE1, which released albums at the same time, unanimously complained that Zixi had stolen all their popularity.

But these are all afterwords, after completing his first music stage, Zixi's whole body relaxed. Even when I ate with Kim Ha Na, I didn't feel so annoyed in the face of miso soup that I didn't like.

"I've read the proposal, what do you think?" Since Kim Ha Na has had a relationship with Zi Xi, she has rarely had the opportunity for the two to eat together. This may be because of the lack of a thief's heart, but it is not as casual as when we worked together with [My Savage Female Teacher] before.

Zixi drank a glass of water, diluted the long-standing taste of the sauce in his mouth, pointed to the plan and said, "Is this investment too little?" I'm shooting [IRIS] with an investment of more than 20 billion won, and this drama not only has war scenes, but also uses tanks and fighters, as well as countless extras, but the investment is only half of [IRIS], so it's still a question whether it can be filmed well. ”

Kim Ha Na retorted, "How is this the same? You and Tae-hee filmed [IRIS] in Japan, Hungary, and China, and this location fee can be used to shoot several war scenes. ”

"If you want to shoot war scenes well, if you want to shoot shocking scenes, you have to spend money. After all, this is a TV series about a war that lasted for several years and involved more than 10 million people in many countries, especially if it was filmed on the 60th anniversary of the 6.25 War, the audience's expectations will be high. But he is reluctant to spend money, causing the scene to be too simple, and the gains will outweigh the losses. ”

Zixi dissects things from the real situation, just like Hollywood wants to shoot a war movie, and the money is like water. But now this new drama, as you can see from the planning book, tells the story of the year after the outbreak of the 6.25 war, which not only contains love, friendship, and love, but also includes the cityscapes of Seoul, Pyongyang and Busan in the 50s, which runs through the scenes of many important wars. One can imagine how much of the production budget for these war scenes was shared.

War TV dramas are different urban love dramas, which can reduce costs in different ways, and can also make money by implanting various advertisements in the film. Guns, vehicles, uniforms, bombings needed for war. Medicine is indispensable, and even to have a plane, big. Cannons, tanks, etc., you can't get a penny less.

Zixi didn't see the complete script, and from the many war scenes described in the plan book, as well as the only investment of more than 10 billion, he was not very optimistic about this new drama of MBC. Even if the script is written by director Kang Digui, and director Lee Changxiu and director Lee Zhenmin have the best means, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and they can only shoot with limited funds, and the scene can be imagined.
