After EXO, who was the winner of the Grand Prix, was interviewed by the organizers separately and took a group photo with the award presenter, Seoul Sports CEO Kim Kwang-rae, today's trip was officially over.

"Thank you (smiley)."

When Ji Jingyuan followed the team to the nanny car and returned to the dormitory, he received a text message from Bae Joo-hyun.

The members who had just won the big prize were very excited, chatting enthusiastically in the car, Ji Jingyuan leaned on the back of the chair, leaned his head against the window and looked at the message on his mobile phone, chuckled and gave her an exact same expression: "(Smiley)."

"How many big prizes have we won this year? MMA doesn't, but Kyung Won and Suzy have a song of the year, barely half of it, two MAMA, one gold record, one song, a total of four and a half, more than last year." Park Chanyeol was very interested in counting the results of their EXO year-end award ceremony, and the more he counted, the happier he became.

"Don't get too excited, there are so many big prizes because our mini two last year was very successful, but ...... It would be nice to have this result at the end of this year's 15 years." Jin Junmian felt that his buddy seemed to be a little floating, and he reminded him tactfully.

In fact, all the members of EXO know that the results of 2014 can be the same as last year's regular album period, largely because the return of the mini second album "Addiction" in May is very good, and the award ceremony at the end of the year is actually only based on the results of the mid-year return, and does not take into account the dilemma of EXO members after the continuous withdrawal, so that they will get so many big awards.

Even if they don't want to admit it, in fact, they know it in their hearts, and they all know that XO has actually declined a lot compared to the same period last year, three members quit the group, and the experience of a detachment almost collapsing can already be directly announced by an ordinary men's group, and thanks to EXO's thick blood, the decline is not obvious until now.

But if this return can't maintain last year's results, or even if the decline is very severe, then all the negative feedback will immediately come and make them fall off the altar in an instant.

It's just that it's clear and clear, and I'll talk about it later, and they still want to celebrate it now.

"Alas, why do you keep mentioning this, don't be disappointed by the gold leader, can't you be happy for two days if you get a big reward?" Hearing Jin Junmian's words, Park Chanyeol looked a little dissatisfied, tilted his head to look at him and complained.

"Well, while you're happy now, I propose to go back and order a few pizzas and barbecue takeouts in the evening to celebrate!" Bian Boxian also coaxed a sentence.

"Seconded the proposal, give Oh another cup of pineapple milk tea."

"OK, when I didn't say it......" Jin Junmian saw that the general trend was irreversible, and directly raised his hand to cover his mouth to express that he had no opinion,

Seeing Jin Junmian raise his hand to say that surrender was no longer a disappointment, several people immediately cheered twice as if they had won the battle, and began to chat happily again.

"Good singing tonight."

After a while, Bae Joo-hyun's message came again, and Ji Kyung-won understood at a glance that she was referring to EXO's stage "Let It Be" at night.

"That's a good thing tonight." He also replied quickly, and the other party must be able to understand in seconds what he said was a hint from Bae Joo-hyun when he gave his acceptance speech when he won the newcomer award tonight.

"(smiley)."

"(smiley)."

…………

The news of the Seoul Song Awards has been on the hot search that night, and after a night of fermentation, it has become a hot topic of discussion among major entertainment sections and group fans, and most people don't have much controversy about EXO's award, after all, before the members quit the group last year, their results were there, and the mini two is another extremely faulty million sales, which really makes black fans can't say much, except for making two sour words, they can only pinch their noses and say that they have no opinion.

This time, the focus of the discussion was on the bright stage of the re-performed "Let It Be", and all of them focused on the news that EXO is preparing for the upcoming return of the new album revealed in Ji Kyungwon's award acceptance speech.

"The Ground Regiment is coming back? I thought they were going to disband."

"It's not going to be disbanded, but the return of the group this time is estimated to be really going to see life and death, not to mention that the results this time are a bit down, once there is no obvious improvement compared to the last time, they will definitely be hopeless to reach the top, and I don't know if I wrote a song this time to try to save it."

"EXO, hurry up and die, the boys' group of three people has retired, and the fans can still be so arrogant and dance so arrogantly on the Internet every day, I'm really convinced, I objectively predict that the probability of their return this time will decline significantly, the celebrity fans will become, the performance fans and the group fans will go directly, and then the whole group will return half-dead once a year, hanging on to their lives, and the most profitable place will fly directly solo."

"Dituan" is the meal of some other families nowadays, or anti is a black name for EXO, which is still derived from the name of Xia Guo. EXO was called "Heavenly Group" by fans at the hottest time in 13 and 14 years, and I was very proud. And now that the popularity and popularity have declined significantly after withdrawing from the three in a row, many people think that this boy group must be flop, and the black fans over there directly forcibly jumped their faces to say that EXO is no longer worthy of being called "Tiantuan", and directly called the antonym "Dituan".

Then many black fans shouted that EXO members don't call their names anymore, and it feels like shouting their names is helping each other publicize. They now directly use the black name of the combination plus the superpower of each member to refer to the members, for example, Ji Jingyuan has more than one black name, because his superpower is light, so he is called "earth light" by some sunspots, and at the same time, because he is very successful in transforming into an actor, he is also called "ground acting".

The black fans of the world are a family.,I don't know when this title flowed into the peninsula from the outside.,It's been quoted by fans who are unhappy with EXO.,Widely in the discussion.。

So even black fans need to do their homework in advance to understand the actual situation of the combination they are anti for, if they don't understand the concept of EXO and everyone's superpowers, they probably won't even be able to shout the black name.

However, this kind of black name with "earth" will definitely not be used by Ellie, on the contrary, many Ellie will be angry when they see this title, because in their hearts, even if they run three times and quit the team, EXO is still the hottest celestial group in the peninsula and even Asia, so for this name, they will often set off a scolding war on the top.

"Does Yuan mean that XO is finally coming back? It's the best news I've heard lately, and I've really been waiting for it for too long."

"This time it should be the second regular album, I hope to be able to replicate the glory of the regular first album, Yuan should also provide some self-composed songs this time, the previous regular one and mini two, and then the winter single a few days ago is his self-composed music is very popular, this time it would be nice to have a song like "Roaring".

"This time XO must be big, and slap those idiots in the face!"

"Baribari! Hurry up and make it official, I can't wait, the money to buy the special has already been saved, EXOfighting!"

The ellipse were obviously very excited to see the news and expressed their excitement and expectation, but according to the overall trend of the above comments, in addition to EXO's own fans, most passers-by are actually not optimistic about EXO's reinstatement of the glory of only 9 people.

In addition to the malicious curses of those black fans and the deliberate infinite underestimation, a more objective evaluation is generally that the results of EXO's return this time should remain the same or decline slightly compared with the last time, and it should be impossible to make a big improvement. And then there will be a significant decline in each subsequent return, a return to mediocrity step by step.

The mainstream view is that EXO2014's mini-second album "Addiction" is the pinnacle of their group.

This is actually the mainstream view of industry insiders, even if EXO's fan base is still very strong, but the withdrawal of members is a big blow to any group, let alone three people in a row.

The comments from the outside world and the expectations and worries of fans, in fact, all the members of XO also see it, although it can't have a substantial impact on them, but it will actually affect the mood quite a bit.

However, this time, all the members are very confident in the return of the official second album, including the four title songs, all of which are high-quality songs, and even the included songs are above the level

Not inferior to the title song, coupled with excellent planning and production, as well as a lot of resources invested by the company, everyone believes that this return will definitely surprise fans and everyone.

After the Seoul Music Awards, the members who didn't finish filming their personal trailer the next morning boarded the plane with the team and rushed to Europe, and a few days later the Americas group also left Seoul and flew to the United States for filming, and finally Ji Kyung-won also flew to Yunnan in the summer country to meet the members, and the nine of them filmed the teaser video of the last region together.

It took nearly a week, and there wasn't much time for filming, and most of them were rushing back and forth on the plane, which was very torturous, but after so many days of hard work, this huge teaser project was finally completed, and it was almost the end of the month after the members returned to Seoul from Yunnan.

At this time, everyone gathered in the practice room to rehearse the MV that would start shooting immediately, and the company had taught them the specific shooting process and storyboard design of the MV before, for which they had practiced many times.

Just finished jumping, Ji Jingyuan panted and took a bottle of mineral water and was pouring it violently, there was a sound The door of the practice room suddenly opened, Li Chenghuan walked in from the outside and stood at the door, swept aside, looked at Chi Jingyuan and beckoned: "Jingyuan, come out...... The others will rest for a while."

「……」

At this time, Chi Jingyuan was still drinking water with his cheeks puffed, and he was stunned for a moment when he heard this, quickly swallowed the water in his mouth, wiped it with the back of his hand, put the bottle aside and followed out quickly.

Lee Seung-hwan took him out casually, walked a few steps, stopped at the corner of the corridor, pondered for a short time, and said, "That's the case......

……

An hour ago, in a small conference room in the company building, Lee so-man, the chief producer of EXO's comeback album, was listening to the work reports of the heads and staff of several departments.

I had already talked about other aspects of the preparations, but at this time, the head of the communication department in charge of the record department took the initiative to ask a question: "The parking lot where the director niEXOallbaby was filmed has been rented beforehand, and the set that needs to be built has been prepared. However, according to the previous extremely bad opponent, there were some problems with the negotiation of several luxury sports cars that need to be used to shoot the MV."

"......" The words of the head of the room attracted everyone's attention, and Li Xiuman also cast his gaze.

The head of the room smiled bitterly and introduced the situation: "Because the background of EXO's MV design requires the use of multiple luxury cars, we have contacted several car owners before, and it just so happens that these car owners seem to be fans of EXO, but although they agreed to sponsor the car for free, they put forward a lot of requirements, including watching the whole process during the shooting of the MV, not allowing any friction and damage to the car, and also putting forward the condition of taking pictures with XO members, At the same time, I may want to bring my friends to watch the MV shooting......

"Is that a fan?"

"These conditions can't be agreed, and the MV shooting itself can't be open to outsiders, so what if the car mainly discloses the photos taken in advance without permission? And will there be other requirements at that time? For example, let XO members, like Yuan or Sehoon, accompany her to dinner or something? Shall we agree?"

"Let Yuan accompany her to dinner? Jokes, no, absolutely not."

Hearing these conditions, several people present couldn't help frowning, and you complained about the excessive requirements of these car owners.

The head of the room who just raised this matter spread his hands: "But this kind of billion-dollar supercar itself is a supercar of the billion-level There are not many people in Seoul, most of them are members of wealthy families, and it is also troublesome to communicate with people who need to connect, and the MV is about to start filming, and the car rental company may have resources, but even if it is a supercar of this level of car rental company, it must not be a rare resource in number, and the corresponding cost will also increase, because the car owners who are currently contacted are all agreed to sponsor for free."

After hearing this, everyone was silent for a while, and they discussed it one after another, and put forward a lot of suggestions, but in the end, there were only a few imaginables.

「……」

Li Xiuman was silent for a moment and then tapped lightly

knocked on the table, making the whole conference room quiet, and looked at Li Chenghuan squinting his eyes and smiled: "That's it, you go and ask Jing Yuan to see if he has any suggestions over there."

「…… Jingyuan?" Lee Seung-hwan was slightly flustered when he heard this name, and felt that the director's thinking span seemed to be a bit large.

"That's right, you tell him about it, just say what I said." Li Xiuman didn't explain in front of everyone, picked up the teacup and took a sip, looking quite relaxed.

"Uh, okay." Li Chenghuan nodded and responded directly.

"By the way, if Jingyuan has a way, remember to take the initiative to tell him about the cost of the rental, if he is willing to help, he will not have to sponsor for free, and the company will pay for it...... But I guess he doesn't bother to ask for it."

「…… I see."

…………

"Is that so?"

Ji Jingyuan nodded after listening to Li Chenghuan's words, he didn't seem to have any pressure, he thought for a few seconds, and asked a little casually: "What brand and price car do you need to shoot the MV?" Do you have any requirements for the car model?"

......Seeing that Ji Jingyuan was so relaxed, it seemed to be just a small thing, Lee Seung-hwan opened his mouth and paused, feeling that he had a deeper understanding of the member he managed: "Actually, I don't know much about this, but it should be the kind of sports car that looks very valuable and luxurious, the more expensive and handsome it is, the more it can improve the style of EXO and MV...... By the way, that Mercedes you parked under the dorm should be fine."

Chi Jingyuan didn't think much about it, and nodded directly: "Then I know, I'll tell my family, brother, you ask the PD to send someone to take a look, if you think the model is suitable, you can lend it to the company for a few days, it's no problem, anyway, it's also for us to shoot a MV."

"Okay, I'll get in touch with the director right away."

Li Chenghuan was a little surprised when he heard this, but he didn't show it on his face, and after nodding his head, he looked at Ji Jingyuan, who felt that the matter had been resolved, turned around and was about to return to the practice room, and remembered what Li Xiuman had explained, and quickly stopped him: "By the way, about the rental fee......

"Brother, this can't be what Teacher Li Xiuman asked you to ask, right?"

Ji Jingyuan, who had already taken two steps, looked back at the agent, as if he was smiling, although he was asking a question, his tone seemed a little firm, and he didn't need Li Chenghuan to answer, he glanced at the other party's expression to understand, and then waved his hand casually: "It's better for the company to send someone to see if it's appropriate first......

After speaking, without waiting for Li Chenghuan to reply, Ji Jingyuan turned around and walked towards the practice room, and Li Xiuman squinted his eyes and smiled in front of him, and shook his head helplessly:

"I feel like I've seen through it......

……

On January 31st, in a second-floor underground parking lot in the *** district of Seoul, the staff of SM Company were busy at this time, confirming the lights and radio, and setting up cameras at the same time, and the entire parking lot was a lively scene.

This is the filming site of the EXOallbaby MV, and the members of XO are doing their costumes in a makeshift beauty salon next to the set.

At this time, the styling dy Kim Youna was holding a hair dryer and putting the finishing touches on Ji Jingyuan's new look, while Ji Jingyuan was sitting on the makeup chair looking at his new image in the mirror.

As an idol, every time I come back, I must have a different style, a new look to show my charm and the concept of the album, from the rainbow head of "Wolf and Beauty", to the silver hair of "Roar", to the red under the dark light of "Addiction" and "Dope", Ji Jingyuan's return look is also constantly changing.

And this time he returns to styling, even if it is more mature, avant-garde and fashionable.

At this time, his hair in the mirror, which had grown a lot, had been cut short, and the medium-length broken hair was specially fluffed, stacked and overlapped on the head to look very layered, and the sideburns on both sides were on the cochlea and the cochlea came out abruptly to reveal a clear jawline.

This time, I didn't do it completely to show my forehead

Under the operation of DY, the bangs that specially made a slightly air style hung messily in front of the head, the loose hair shook gently under the action of the hair dryer, and the smooth forehead below was faintly exposed in the loose gap.

The biggest highlight is the hair color this time, the primary color black hair that Chi Jingyuan has been keeping before has already undergone a huge change after bleaching and dyeing, the combination of silver and gray smoky gray hair and fluffy and messy design highlights a strong sense of fashion, and with Chi Jingyuan's facial features, he looks very conspicuous in the entire beauty room.
