In addition to the external sales of EXO's concert tickets, a part of them has also been reduced as an internal increase in tickets, in addition to the management personnel of various departments of the company, each member of EXO has been allocated some, so that they can give some of their circle or amateur friends, which is also a small benefit.

In addition to the free tickets, the company also prepared the best rows of seats in the infield on the first day of the concert, and specially invited the parents and relatives of all 12 members to be there, so that they could see their children and brothers at close range The first solo concert after their debut, and watching them go to a brilliant peak in their careers, is also a very meaningful thing.

Chi Jingyuan's parents definitely can't come in the United States, and the eldest sister has also gone over to run errands recently, and she is definitely not available, as for the second brother Chi Jingxu, he doesn't know if he will come.

According to the second brother's narrow character, he should come over to watch his brother's liveliness, but to be honest, Chi Jingyuan doesn't really want him to be there, and he feels a little awkward when he performs in front of his relatives.

As for the free tickets given to him by the company, there are a few relatives with whom he has a good relationship, but he is too lazy to take the initiative to send tickets or something.

However, if a friend takes the initiative to ask for it, Chi Jingyuan is naturally willing to give it, and it is not a very precious thing, and others are willing to support them, which is to save face.

"Which day do you want, how many do you want?"

After drinking the water, Chi Jingyuan did not return to his original position to sit, but walked out of the practice room, closed the door and leaned against the wall next to him.

"Of course, it was on the 23rd, and the first concert must be the most meaningful and beautiful."

Zhou Ziyu replied without hesitation, then dulled for a moment, and his voice became a little quieter: "I want a ...... Two...... Three. ”

Her tone grew weaker and weaker, sounding a little embarrassed. Chi Jingyuan Music could also hear other voices next to her on the phone, as if someone was directing her.

"Okay...... Tomorrow, tomorrow at noon, you come to our company, and call me when you arrive. ”

Chi Jingyuan thought about it and made an appointment: "You shouldn't know how SM Company is going, right?" It's very close to your JYP, just a few corners away. ”

"Of course I know, I've also been to the door of your company with my friends......"

Zhou Ziyu felt that he was underestimated, and hurriedly refuted that he was already familiar with the nearby road conditions, and then happily responded: "I'll go over after school tomorrow, but it may be a little later." ”

"Then say so, bye-bye."

"Bye-bye, see you tomorrow."

Before he hung up the phone, Ji Jingyuan heard a female voice screaming from over there, as if she was saying something 'amazing' or something.

Then the phone hung up, Ji Jingyuan looked at the screen and shook his head with a smile, and walked back to the practice room.

…………

During the lunch break, Chi Jingyuan walked out of the side door of the company wearing a gray sweatshirt suit and board shoes, plus a three-piece camouflage suit with a ghost hat, black-framed glasses and a mask, and a shoulder bag on his back.

After exiting the door, we walked south, turned a few corners, passed through an apartment complex, and arrived at the agreed place.

Walking through an intersection, he saw Zhou Ziyu standing next to the street sign from a distance, she was standing there birdishly, looking down at the ground while gently rubbing her feet with her feet, the long black hair hanging down covered half of her face, revealing the bridge of her nose and eyebrows, and when the wind blew, her long hair floated up, and her whole face became a little faint.

As if sensing Chi Jingyuan's gaze, Zhou Ziyu raised his head and looked over, blinked after seeing his figure, and immediately recognized Chi Jingyuan, who was fully disguised, grinned, and waved his hand vigorously to this side.

Ji Jingyuan also smiled and quickened his pace.

From a distance, I have to say that this child's demeanor is very good, and there is no one to supervise, standing there with straight legs, straight body, no hunchback and other problems, it can be seen that the habit is very good.

After walking in, Chi Jingyuan glanced up and down, Zhou Ziyu seemed to have just come back from school and had not gone to the company to change clothes, at this time he was wearing a blue school uniform jacket, stepping on a pair of white sneakers, and carrying a small black schoolbag.

It's just this complexion......

"Has your mother been deceived?"

Walking in front of her, Chi Jingyuan glanced at her smiling face, and spoke directly without saying hello.

"Ah, my mother, what's been deceived?"

Zhou Ziyu, who was still thinking about how to say hello, was a little confused by this question, and his mouth opened slightly.

"Face mask."

Ji Jingyuan nodded her chin and gave her a hint.

"........." Zhou Ziyu reacted after two seconds of dullness, his face suddenly became bitter, and the joy of seeing Chi Jingyuan disappeared immediately, only to feel a sullen breath erupting from his chest.

"I hate it......"

She hesitated for a moment, but she still couldn't help but directly raised her foot to give Chi Jingyuan's calf and stomach, and then stretched out her two hands to cover half of her face, only glaring at him with big eyes and frowning.

"You said it yourself before, I was quite expecting some changes in you before I came, and I ...... it for a long time."

Ji Jingyuan looked innocent and shook his head a little disappointed.

"You're ......"

Zhou Ziyu was so angry with his scoundrel appearance as a victim that he wanted to scold him for a few sentences, but after organizing the language for a long time, he found that there were no suitable words in the thesaurus, and after holding himself half to death, he couldn't help but amplify the volume: "I'm not lying, it's easy to use." And even if the mask is very useful, the effect is not something that can be achieved in a day or two. ”

Tried hard to explain, and finally she emphasized: "And I'm not dark at all, my friends around me say that I have good skin, just what you say there every day......"

"Very good, very good."

Seeing that Zhou Ziyu was a little aggrieved, Chi Jingyuan didn't tease her anymore, and while taking out the concert ticket from his shoulder bag and handing it to her, he nodded and agreed, "Very good, very good." ”

Seeing Chi Jingyuan's perfunctory appearance, Zhou Ziyu couldn't help but wrinkle her nose, and she was almost used to being told so many times, after glancing at him, she no longer blocked her face, and reached out to take the ticket.

It's just that after taking it, her hand still stopped there, and she didn't take it back directly, looking at her expression, it seemed that she was a little embarrassed to take it for nothing.

"Okay, it's not very valuable."

Seeing her appearance, Chi Jingyuan smiled and waved his hand casually,

"Next time you have time to invite me to dinner as a reward...... Just the stinky tofu you talked about last time. ”

"Good!"

Zhou Ziyu glanced at him, responded with a smile, and then put the ticket into the schoolbag.

"Have you eaten?"

Watching her put the ticket away, Ji Jingyuan glanced around.

He had already eaten before, so he asked politely.

"I've eaten it at school."

"You're coming to us...... Let's have a drink, there is a good shop next to it, and our members often buy drinks here. “

Ji Jingyuan beckoned, and then walked towards a drink shop next to him that had a good reputation among EXO.

Zhou Ziyu put the schoolbag back on his back, held the schoolbag strap in both hands and obediently followed him step by step, and at the same time looked at him curiously and asked:

"Do you come here a lot, too?"

"I haven't been here much."

"And how do you drink it?"

"Are you stupid?" Chi Jingyuan looked back at her with the same eyes as Wu Shixun: "I'll find someone to take it......"

"Uh...... Hehehe. Glanced at by the other party with the same eyes as a retarded person, Zhou Ziyu smiled at him a little embarrassedly, and when he saw the other party shaking his head, he turned around and sped up his steps to leave, and then quickly trotted to follow.

"What to drink?" Standing in front of this drink shop called 'Brigde', Chi Jingyuan looked at the dazzling drink illustrations on the signboard at the door, and asked Zhou Ziyu beside him.

There were just not many people in line, only a few or two guests.

"I can do it all." Zhou Ziyu looked at the menu for a while, looked up and said.

"Then let's make red bean milk tea." Chi Jingyuan nodded, took out the card from his bag and was ready to go to the counter to order, but as soon as he took a step, a somewhat weak voice came from behind.

"That, I don't like to eat red beans very much...... Zhou Ziyu looked at him timidly.

"That Ziyuxi, what do you mean by 'all right'?" Chi Jingyuan smiled angrily, turned around and looked wonderful.

"Hehe......" Zhou Ziyu tried to squeeze out a smile and lowered his neck.

"It's ugly to laugh at...... What exactly to drink? ”

“………… Same with you. ”

"Let's lemon tea...... Big cup? Half sugar? OK。 Chi Jingyuan exhaled, and after confirming it, he went to the counter to order, and after a while, he walked over with two cups of lemon tea, handed Zhou Ziyu a cup, and the two walked away while holding straws.

Walked to the intersection of an alley and stopped, Chi Jingyuan stuffed the straw into the mask and bit it, and took two sips comfortably, the sweet and sour taste seemed to dispel some of the fatigue.

Glancing at Zhou Ziyu next to him, he was ready to say goodbye, and after a while, EXO will start working in the afternoon, and Zhou Ziyu will definitely go to the company to practice.

At this moment, a man and a woman walked over from the corner not far away, and as soon as he showed his head, the man saw Chi Jingyuan, he observed for two seconds and then sped up and walked over, patted Chi Jingyuan's shoulder and said, "Jingyuan? ”

"Brother Chanyeol?" Although the other party was also wearing a mask and a hat, Ji Jingyuan also recognized at a glance that the person who came was his teammate Park Chanyeol, and immediately took out his habit and said hello with a smile.

Park Chanyeol disappeared as soon as he had a break just now, but he didn't expect to meet him here at this time, which was really a coincidence.

"Jingyuan, you're here to buy a drink too?" Park Chanyeol looked at the cup in Ji Jingyuan's hand and smiled cheerfully, looking like he was in a good mood.

"Inside." Ji Jingyuan nodded.

At this time, the woman next to Park Chanyeol looked at Ji Jingyuan very enthusiastically, and took the initiative to say hello to Ji Jingyuan with a smile: "Yuanxi, I've always wanted to see you, I'm Jin Yajing, Anihassai." ”

Jin Yajing looks like she is in her twenties, but the bright makeup on her face is not accurate, her facial features are exquisite, she is tall, and she looks quite eye-catching overall, very urban fashion beauty.

"Nice to meet you, Neanihasai." Ji Jingyuan also nodded and saluted, then looked at Park Chanyeol and asked with his eyes: "Brother, this is ......"

"......" Park Chanyeol didn't say anything, but he raised an eyebrow at him with bent eyes, and the meaning was already clear.

It seems that Jin Yajing is the makeup artist that Wu Shixun said that Park Chanyeol is dating, although she may be a little older than them, she is indeed very beautiful and has a good temperament.

I just didn't expect Park Chanyeol to come out for a meeting during the lunch break, which is really enough to hurry up...... Of course, Chi Jingyuan himself is not qualified to say that others are it.

Chi Jingyuan and Jin Yajing politely exchanged a few words, Park Chanyeol saw Zhou Ziyu next to him who didn't know what to say and was very cramped, looked at Chi Jingyuan with narrow eyes, and said in a strange tone: "This is Jingyuan, your ......"

The final tone is deliberately elongated, and the playful intention is obvious.

"Ani, it's a good friend of mine, and I'm working as a trainee right now."

Zhou Ziyu pursed his lips and laughed a little embarrassed, and Chi Jingyuan shook his head and explained.

"Anihassai, I'm Zhou Ziyu." She looked a little nervous and saluted in greeting.

"Anihassaiyo...... Trainee? Our company? ”

"No, I'm from JYP."

Hearing that it was Ji Jingyuan's friend, Park Chanyeol and the two of them also returned the gift with face, and took the initiative to chat with Zhou Ziyu with a smile, and Jin Yajing kept praising her for plopping and plopping, which made Zhou Ziyu's shy words unfavorable.

This little girl is really too young, she is really a little young, and she is also a little recognized.

"Then let's go first......" After chatting a few words, Park Chanyeol and the two took the initiative to wave goodbye, and when they staggered by, he also gave Ji Jingyuan a look and secretly gave him a thumbs up.

Looking at the back of the two leaving, Chi Jingyuan knew that this brother probably misunderstood something.

But it doesn't matter.

"Okay, let's go first, get the ticket, I won't reissue it if I lose it."

Turning his head, Chi Jingyuan exhaled and said goodbye to Zhou Ziyu.

"Got it." Zhou Ziyu nodded, glanced at him, and then looked at the ground.

"By the way, I remember that you didn't say before that there were a few male trainees who have been courteous to you? What's the situation now, why didn't they help you grab a ticket or something this time? ”

Chi Jingyuan thought of something, and asked curiously before parting.

The life of a trainee is really exciting.

"Do you remember...... Not to mention that they are really super naïve. ”

"You're a little girl who says people are naïve...... Forget it, let's go. ”

"Bye-bye."

…………

“saywaht”

“saywowo”

"Absolutely, absolutely, absolutely."

It's been less than a week since the return, and at this time, in SM's practice room, several members of the EXO-K team have seriously danced the stage of "dope" in a complete way.

The members all wore their own name tags, such as Ji Kyung-won who had a sign in front of him that read 'Yuan' in Korean, and the other members were the same.

All the processes were rehearsed according to the formal performance stage, and the company's professional VJ followed the whole process.

The purpose of filming this is to hand it over to the production team of the TV station's singing program, and the director and VJ of the production team will set up the camera position according to the video that has been sent, and when the song is recorded, they will also shoot according to the process in the video.

This is very necessary, because if you don't have this thing, the production team of the singing program will not know how your stage shots are designed, what special arrangements are there, when to shoot the C position, when to cut the close-up, and when to shoot the dance with a black eye.

That person can only shoot according to their own experience and preferences......

Basically, in order to achieve the expected stage camera effect, each group of idols will shoot this image and hand it to the TV station when they return to play, and EXO has filmed "wolf" and "Roaring Filial Piety" before.

And with the name tag is to recognize people, so that the PD and VJ of the program group can recognize who is in the video as soon as possible, after all, there are so many groups of idols participating in each issue, and it is normal for some faces not to know each other.

Although they are industry insiders, in fact, many TV station staff do not have a deep understanding of idol, and only know some popular artists.

During the rehearsals of some large-scale galas, the artists will also wear name tags to let people know who they are.

However, there are some very famous and highly popular idols who no longer need to wear name tags to tell others their identity at this time, such as Girls' Generation.

At the end of last year, during the song war, Chi Jingyuan remembered very well that several groups of artists went to the stage to rehearse together, including their EXO, all wore name tags with their names written on them for the director to recognize people, and only a few sisters when they were young stood up in front of them in private clothes, with nothing on them.

But everyone knows them.

After a full performance on the official stage, several members of the K team were a little tired.

But there was no time to rest now, so they immediately followed the staff to see the process video they had just taken.

Although there is only one stage for the precursor, it also plays a role in the appearance and precedent, and the overall effect is still very important. And this time, the stage design members also watched it, and they were all very satisfied, and they were looking forward to the effect after the stage broadcast.

To be honest, when the members talked privately about the return plan, a few people really felt that the song "Dope" had too few stages and was a bit buried.

Like Ji Jingyuan, they also like the concept and style of this song.

"The effect is very good, this is the version of Team K, I'll leave it to the ment side later."

After watching it twice, and discussing it with the company's stage planning teacher, Lee Seung-hwan clapped his hands and explained: "The children hurry up and change their clothes and prepare, and we will go to the studio to shoot VCR immediately, and we are already waiting there." ”

"Inside, got it."

A few people who had just drunk a saliva hurriedly responded, took off the name brand, changed their clothes, went downstairs and got into the nanny car, and rushed to the shooting location.

As soon as I arrived at the studio, I saw an acquaintance.

"Senior Anihasai Yo ......" met Jiang Shiqi who had been waiting for a long time as soon as he entered, and after seeing them, he quickly got up and smiled and bowed, and his every move was very standard.

In addition to Ji Jingyuan and Wu Shixun, the other members of EXO basically know Jiang Shiqi, a trainee who has been practicing for almost seven years, but some of them are not very familiar.

The members who walked in front nodded in return, and when they got to the back, Ji Jingyuan and Wu Shixun looked at her in surprise: "Shiqi, are you here to shoot our concert VCR?" “

"Inside." Looking at them, Jiang Shiqi smiled brightly.

They needed to shoot several VCRs for this concert, and Jiang Shiqi participated in one of them, but the camera time was very small, only about 5 seconds.

But again, any opportunity to show your face before your debut is very important and precious for trainees.

Except for the royal family, which has no shortage of resources at all.

After that, the members went to make up and change clothes in batches, and Chi Jingyuan, who was at the back of the line, pulled Jiang Shiqi to sit on the stool next to him and chatted.

“…………”

"There are more than a dozen people in the candidate group, and they have to be evaluated once a week, and after a while, someone will be eliminated, and there may be new people coming in."

"The teachers are very strict, and they have to be taught a hard lesson after making mistakes, but these are secondary, and it really doesn't matter if you can't make your debut compared to being eliminated, like I've been scolded many times."

"I have to practice for more than ten hours every day, from morning to night, even if it's early in the morning, no one wants to go, for fear that I will be eliminated if I make slow progress."

"But everyone really doesn't care about that, and now I don't have any other ideas than to practice hard for my debut......"

Jiang Shiqi and Chi Jingyuan kept pouring bitter water, telling some things after entering the SM new girl group project recently, it can be seen that she is really hard, her skin is a little dry, her face is average, and she has obviously not rested very well recently.

id=wzsy>

But her spirit was really full, even though her face was tired, but her eyes were shining brightly, and her whole body was full of motivation, as if nothing could stop her from continuing to work hard.

Even though he complained, he did not complain, but there was obvious expectation and longing in his tone.

Chi Jingyuan sat next to him and echoed from time to time.

He felt that the energy in his own body was very influential.

"It's really hard, we were like this when we were in the debut group, practicing hard every day, for fear of being eliminated."

Wu Shixun sighed with emotion, and his vision flashed, as if he had returned to the time when EXO debuted more than two years ago, when they were exactly the same as Jiang Shiqi now.

"yes, they were all in the practice room at that time, and they were later than anyone left." Du Junxiu also answered: "I couldn't sleep every day at that time, and after going to bed, I had to be in a daze for a long time when I looked at the bed board on my upper bunk, and I didn't dare to imagine what my expression would be if I was eliminated." ”

When entertainment companies select debut groups, they like to use this elimination method, first pull a vote of people to form a preparatory group, and then after a long time of practice and screening, they keep passing some people, and finally those who remain are qualified to debut.

From Girls' Generation, to EXO, to this year's new girl group, it has always been this routine.

This method can maximize the potential of trainees, allowing them to practice hard to improve their strength to meet the standards of debut, and at the same time, the fear generated by this high pressure is also easier to be managed by the company.

But it's also really cruel.

Chi Jingyuan was a little reluctant to interject on this topic, and as an airborne soldier, he was indeed not suitable to discuss this issue.

After listening to it for a while, after a few people's sense of reminiscence went down a little, he said with concern: "How are Seungwan and Zhu Hyun Xi doing?" “

"Shengwan has really been ruthless recently, she was selected for her singing skills, and her dancing strength has always been a little lagging behind, and she has been trained by the teacher a few times recently, and now she is almost living in the practice room after crying a few times."

Jiang Shiqi shook his head, a little distressed about his own relatives, and after pursing his lips, he talked about Pei Zhuhyun:

"Zhu Hyuni Oni is the same, her appearance evaluation is the best one, but she is only average in the selection of other strengths, and she is the oldest of all the races in the preparatory group, and she has always been very stressed, and she has frequent insomnia."

There seemed to be an image of Jiang Shiqi and their efforts in his mind, and Chi Jingyuan was silent for a while, and sighed slowly:

"Debut, ......"
