"But I don't want that."

Nan Mingjing's voice was soft, and he didn't seem to have any momentum, but his tone seemed a little resolute.

The two neon friends glanced at each other and didn't speak, after more than a year of getting along, they have almost understood this fellow, although they can't see it on the outside, but they are actually very assertive in their hearts.

It's hard to change a decision about something or someone you like, and it's a good proof that a person in his teens persuaded his family to come to the Peninsula alone as a trainee.

After eating, a few people stood up and walked in the direction of the company, as if they felt that the atmosphere had become a little silent because of themselves, but Mingjing Nan put away the somewhat depressed appearance just now, stretched out his hand from his sleeve and brushed the hair hanging down from his sideburns behind his ears, and the corners of his mouth smiled, and a small tooth of flesh was revealed on his white teeth, and he waved his hand naturally to the two friends next to him:

"Don't stop talking, don't worry about me, don't talk about it recently......"

"Let's take part in the company's survival draft seriously, whether I can make my debut depends on this, I'm almost tired of practicing the opening dance in the past two days......"

As she changed her emotions and took the initiative to adjust, some of the solemn atmosphere was relaxed, and the two friends glanced at her and chatted about the competition.

The back is getting farther and farther away, but the voice is not clear anymore.

…………

On March 11, SM Entertainment officially announced through social networking sites that its girl group Red Velvet will release their first mini album "Ice Cream Cake" on the 18th of this month, and announced the addition of new member Yeri.

After the announcement was released, it attracted a lot of attention, time can dilute everything, and the senior fans who attacked in a group last year when Red Velvet first debuted now have lost the passion for fighting at the beginning of so long, after all, there were no real contradictions and conflicts before several combinations.

Up to now, except for FX fans who still hate Ryder Beibei because of what happened to their idol and the current situation, the meals of several other families have almost died down, and the previous grand occasion of the whole network black no longer exists.

It's not right, EXO's Ellies still bring up the lively Yuan and Irene scandal in a mocking and contemptuous tone from time to time, and ridicule the shamelessness of this pasty team leader and the moon landing porcelain with a condescending attitude.

There are a lot fewer people scolding, and there are many people who have expressed high expectations for Ryder Bebe's return, after all, it is a new generation of girl groups launched by SM Company, and the company's brand and reputation are here, so red velvet has its own heat.

Even if the first two debuts and returns are not a splash, in fact, whether it is family fans or ordinary passers-by, many people are quite interested in the development of this new girl group, and even black fans are concerned about when they will disband, whether this is their last album and other survival issues.

But what's interesting is that in addition to those who are looking forward to the album, there are many people who claim to be old fans of red velvet who came out of nowhere, and firmly oppose the addition of the fifth member Yeri on the Internet, they are very dissatisfied with SM's practice of adding people to the group, they are emotional, use difficult words, and say a lot of ugly things.

Even Ji Jingyuan was a little puzzled and surprised when he saw it, it turned out that Red Velvet actually had so many old fans before, and he felt that although it was far less than the number of Ellie, it was not much different from those second- and third-tier groups.

It's so deep hidden, I thought they were very confused before, I really underestimated them.

During this period of time, through two weeks of accumulation, EXO, which has fully gained momentum in this return, is constantly carrying out various itineraries, and is also mercilessly harvesting all the music programs that can be obtained.

"This week's M! Countdown's glory is ...... EXO！ ”

"Congratulations EXO! Won the hit song of this week's "Music Bank"! ”

"Today's "Music Center" one of the trophies belongs to...... EXO！ Rough Kamida! ”

“EXO！ Rough Camida, won one place in the third week of March's "Popular Ballads". ”

This week, except for "the show" EXO, which still did not cause the program group not to issue trophies, all of the other five singing programs were completely covered by EXO, and the comparison of scores is extremely strong, and there is almost no suspense in every selection, especially in "Music Bank", which has a relatively dominant record sales score, the record score alone has exceeded the total score of the opponent.

This week, last week's main opponent VIXX has been weak and began to fall behind, Chi Jingyuan and their opponents have also been replaced by the group myth of the return of the same period, the response and songs of this senior men's group are really good, it can be regarded as a very wonderful and sincere return, and the results have actually exceeded expectations.

It's a pity that in the song show that is very important to idol, it hit EXO, resulting in no harvest since the return.

Although a trophy cannot fully represent the overall result of the group's return, after all, the gold content of playing a song in this year is still very sufficient, and the number of winners can intuitively show whether the results are good or bad, and many fans and passers-by can easily see how the combination is performing.

I can only say that EXO himself probably didn't expect "call me baby" to be so strong this time.

……

"Snowflakes are falling."

"Little by little, it's going away."

"I miss you."

"I miss you."

Today is March 16th, and EXO has just finished a week of singing and activities, and at this time, the title song "Spring Day" of the unreleased single album "X" is playing in SM's practice room, and the nine members of EXO are sweating profusely practicing the dance of this song.

As the title song, even if it is a lyrical song, the company and Ji Jingyuan still choreographed this song for the expressiveness of the stage, although it is not as complicated and intense as "Call Me Baby" in terms of action frequency, but it also has its own difficulty and characteristics.

Compared with the fragmented and crisp movements of "Call Me Baby" and the large body wave, the overall amplitude of the choreographed body of "Spring Day" is not too large, and the work is not so intense, some movements are more melodious and euphemistic, which is more in line with the characteristics of lyrical music, and attaches great importance to the rhythm, frequency and neatness of the footsteps, especially the chorus.

Panting and jumping several times in a row, under the clapping signal of the dance teacher, nine people formed a circle, and several members glanced at VJ who was shooting in the corner of the practice room without missing a trace, and then retracted their gaze and began to listen attentively to the guidance of the dance teacher.

As Chi Jingyuan said to that fan during the previous campus raid at Hanlin Art High School, because the behind-the-scenes footage editing of the former regular album "XOXO" received a very good response after it was released, not only absorbing the views of many passers-by, but also playing a very good role in fixing fans for the newly popular EXO, so this time the regular second series SM repeats the old tricks, starting from the very beginning of the preparation and planning, including recording, dancing practice, private rest, and being criticized in EXO. Even when there is a meeting, there is a VJ next to the shooting.

Chi Jingyuan: They have long been used to it.

"I have already emphasized the key point of the stage, there are not too many difficulties in choreography, the most important thing is the rhythm of the footsteps."

The dance teacher stood in the middle and commented on the practice they had just done: "Especially in the chorus, in the second section of the chorus, there are two consecutive large-scale movements on the stage, from left to right, and then from right to left. ”

"As I said before, when moving in a circle in a large group, you should use the members of the center as the base point, and use their positions to judge whether your beat is right, the first time back and forth is Yuan, the second time is suho, the third time is Yuan, the formation must be neat, not fast and not slow, follow the beat, don't rush the fastest or fall to the end."

The teacher pointed out the current problems of EXO very sharply, and the members listened attentively.

In fact, they have been practicing for a long time for the dance pool of the song "Spring Day", and they have even studied earlier than "Call Me Baby", but because it is not the first release but the main track of the second single, plus they are busy after returning, and there are still some small flaws in the proficiency of dance.

But it's all about the details, and there's basically no problem on the whole.

"Take a break." After that, EXO danced several more times, and focused on practicing the choreography of the chorus part, and finally entered the break time at the teacher's signal after being tired enough, and the VJ next to him also turned off the camera in time to stop shooting the tidbits.

"Hmm~"

As busy, Chi Jingyuan and Wu Shixun took the initiative to go to the Xiaoice box to get drinks and mineral water to the other members, each took a bottle back to their place and sat on the floor, and after pouring a few sips of water, Chi Jingyuan let out a pleasant sigh.

"Where are you going to eat at noon?"

"There are still activities in the afternoon, it won't be long, just find one nearby......"

"But I want to eat barbecue......"

Listening to the members next to him already chatting about lunch, it happened that it was okay at this moment, Chi Jingyuan took out his mobile phone to open the webpage and looked at the dynamics of Red Velvet's return.

It has been announced that Ryder Bebe, who will return on the 18th, has begun frequent warm-up and promotion, and the video of the live broadcast trailer was uploaded on the 13th, and the MV of "Automatic", one of the double main hits of this mini album, has been released on the 14th, and the MV of another title song "Ice Cream Cake" will be released at noon today, and all the sound sources of the entire album will be released tomorrow.

To be honest, after the poor results of the first two returns, the first mini album adopted the form of a double title song, and the company actually quite valued Red Velvet.

However, one of the title songs, the MV of "Automatic", has already seen the previous Tianchi Keiyuan, how to say it......

The style of the song and choreography is somewhat similar to their cover of "be nature" last October, but the style is softer and more Urban-oriented.

Overall, after reading it, he felt quite average.

But there are also highlights, at least Bae Joo-hyun has a few shots in it that are very eye-catching, one is the big wave of blonde hair at the beginning, which looks amazing, and then there is a shot of pink blonde hair sitting in the driver's seat holding the steering wheel in the middle, which is also quite good-looking.

In addition, Jiang Shiqi, Sun Shengwan's makeup and other members are also OK, at least compared to "Be Nature", which sounds a little similar, Cody is really careful in terms of styling this time.

Although this title song Chi Jingyuan feels that it is not ordinary and not popular enough, there is also a title song "Ice Cream Cake" in the album, which can represent the same name as the album, and the latter should be the main recommendation, speaking of which, he is still quite looking forward to the MV that will be released soon.

After thinking about it, Ji Jingyuan took out his headphones and put them on, and clicked on the video screen of a live broadcast trailer of Red Velvet in the video list.

This video is about Ryder Bebe and several people who got the notice from their agent and knew that they were going to do a live broadcast of their return on the 18th, so several people began to think about what to say during the live broadcast and how to introduce themselves at the same time.

This video uploaded on the 13th Ji Kyung-won has already watched it once, and the last few people in the video also gave a birthday cake to Kim Taeyeon, who made a cameo, and asked for some experience and guidance from the seniors.

Speaking of which, at the birthday party on the 9th, Taeyeon mentioned that she had just seen Bae Joo-hyun, which should be the filming of this video.

The whole video is actually nothing to watch, the funny level of several people in Red Velvet is actually average except for Sun Shengwan, who looks quite talented, and the reason why Chi Jingyuan clicked in and rewatched it was ......

After he clicked on it, he directly pulled the video progress to a third of the way, and Bae Joo-hyun was showing his personal skills - imitating Dorae's voice to say it......

"Dear."

A hoarse voice came into his mind through the headphones, and Ji Jingyuan couldn't help laughing when he looked at Bae Joo-hyun on the screen.

Doraemon's voice itself is very distinctive, and the hoarse and low voice is said through Bae Joo-hyun's deliberate imitation, which is very comedic, and with her helpless golden thick bangs that she doesn't know how to design, it looks silly and silly and makes people want to laugh.

She laughed shyly after imitating herself, obviously knowing that she looked stupid now.

Not to mention, the imitation is really a bit similar.

God knows how she would regard this thing as her own personal skill, and I don't know if she came up with it herself or designated by the company, this personal skill is not the same style of painting as her own face and gentle temperament, but Chi Jingyuan feels that it sounds very magical.

It may be that he himself likes Doraemon.

It could be something else......

It's okay anyway, he just sat there drinking water, constantly pulling the progress bar to look back, and Bae Joo-hyun's voice kept repeating in his ears:

"Dear."

"Dear"

“……”

……

"If you say you want to eat barbecue, why is it still bibimbap in the end."

Park Chanyeol complained a little disappointed after digging a few spoonfuls of bibimbap.

"I said that there will be something to do later, how can I have time for you to eat barbecue, let's talk about it after I get off work in the evening." Bian Boxian, who was sitting opposite, glanced at him, pursed his lips and said angrily: "If you don't want to eat bibimbap, why don't you follow Brother Min Xige and them to eat pizza?" ”

"Forget it." Park Chanyeol sighed, remembering that he would be busy until the evening, so he honestly picked up the spoon and continued to eat.

Because the time is relatively short, I can only deal with it casually near the company, and today's lunch EXO divided two groups of people to choose bibimbap and pizza respectively.

They have already figured out a few stores around the company, and many of them usually have some surrounding idols and even trainees eating there at noon, and it's no surprise that they can meet EXO from time to time, and occasionally there will be fans who come to squat and look forward to a chance encounter or something.

On the contrary, the most interesting thing is that they would rather come out to eat bibimbap than eat in the company canteen.

"Jingyuan, are you full?" After taking a few bites, Park Chanyeol's eyes swept and saw Ji Jingyuan put down the spoon and picked up the phone, not knowing what he was looking at.

"Well, almost."

While operating the mobile phone, Chi Jingyuan wiped his mouth with a tissue.

To be honest, he doesn't really want to eat bibimbap, so he can barely pad his stomach.

opened the mobile phone webpage and directly boarded SM's official YouTube channel, at this time, the MV of red velvet's second title song "Ice Cream Cake" has been officially released, Ji Jingyuan put on headphones and clicked in directly to start watching.

Basically, every time EXO returns to the title song MV is released, friends who are close to each other, such as Bae Joo-hyun and Jiang Shiqi, will watch it for the first time and give him some feedback and encouragement.

And Ji Jingyuan also knows that this return is also very critical for red velvet, it is related to whether this group can continue to go on, and in terms of importance, it is not lost to the return of EXO at this time, as a parent, he has always been concerned.

“la la la la la la la la~~”

"Please give me that sweet taste."

“Ice Cream Cake”

After watching the MV again, the last continuous English rap is still echoing in his ears, Ji Jingyuan blinked, and he was surprised that he still felt quite good.

Whether it's the makeup of the five people, the style and melody of the whole song, and even the choreography and MV shots and sets, it's OK.

At least it feels a lot better than Automatic.

"The MV for "Ice Cream Cake" was very good, and there were a lot of highlights." Looking up at the few members who were still eating, Ji Jingyuan took the initiative to send a message to Bae Joo-hyun.

In less than a minute, the other party's reply came, and apparently Bae Joo-hyun had been holding his mobile phone to guard the release of the MV: "Jinjia? Is it really good? ”

In just a few words, it seems to reveal the uneasiness in Bae Joo-hyun's heart, as well as the joy and excitement in his heart after learning Ji Kyung-won's evaluation.

The two often talk about some songs of their own group and other groups in their private text message chats, and Chi Jingyuan's sensitivity to this aspect is still very accurate, and many times his judgment of a song is not too bad.

"Well, the looks and costumes of several of you are very good-looking, the choreography is also very distinctive, and the melody of the song is quite good, which is obviously much better than the last return, and there will definitely be many people who like it." Ji Jingyuan saw that Bae Joo-hyun was a little apprehensive in her heart, and specially typed a lot of words to praise the MV of "Ice Cream Cake" to encourage her.

This will be Bae Joo-hyun may be fine, and the reply is very fast: "kkkk can get praise from Kyung Wonxi, it's not thanks to our hard work in the cold weather of LA (smiley)"

The MV for "Ice Cream Cake" was filmed in LA in the United States, and at that time, Bae Joo-hyun complained to him that the temperature there was very low, and the costumes of the MV were very thin, and it was really cold during the shooting, and people who were freezing were shivering.

Remembering the two MVs he had watched, Ji Jingyuan followed another one: "I see that the MVs of your two title songs have scenes of driving, do you like driving a lot?" ”

"I just sat in the driver's seat and held the steering wheel in "Automatic" and didn't start, "Ice Cream Cake" kkkkk...... It looks like I'm driving, but it's just like the camera, it's actually a foreigner wearing a wig and pretending to be driving...... I can only watch (sadly) from the outside. ”

"But I actually like to drive (laughs)."

Seeing that the emotions expressed in the text were obviously a lot more cheerful, Chi Jingyuan laughed and then sent: "The swimming pool scene is also good." ”

What he said was that in the middle of the MV, there was a shot of Bae Joo-hyun wearing a one-piece swimsuit, lying on an inflatable mat and floating in the pool, although it was fleeting, but it left a deep impression on him.

(blushing)"

"I hated the most when I was filming this scene of the pool, the inflatable cushion was too small, I kept sinking as soon as I lay down, and I couldn't shoot it several times, and finally I let a female staff member dive, and I barely ......finished filming with the mat under the water."

“…… Don't say I'm sinking, I'm not heavy on yourself (glaring). ”

Ji Kyung-won's encouragement and recognition of the title song MV obviously made Bae Joo-hyun seem to let go of a lot of new crampedness, at this time she was obviously very interested in talking, and sent several text messages in a row, happily saying a lot of details during the MV shooting, which can be seen between the lines, she not only wants to distract herself from her worries about the results of this album, but also wants to share the joy and excitement of finally returning again.

As for whether she is heavy or not......

Chi Jingyuan recalled the feeling of picking her up at that time, and nodded to certify, it is indeed not heavy.

On the other side, Pei Zhuhyun was sitting on the edge of the sofa in the dressing room at this time, leaning on the armrests, holding the mobile phone with both hands, looking at the text on the screen seriously, pursing his lips, a thick and brisk smile on his face, showing a happy mood in his heart, his legs were folded together in a different position, the corners of his mouth were raised, and he began to type: "You just said that we are all good-looking, kkkkk, so who do you think has the best look?" ”

"Shiki."

Ji Jingyuan replied quickly, but unfortunately it was not the name she wanted to see.

Before Pei Zhuhyun could reply, the other party then sent another message: "And Kim Yilin." ”

Pouting, Bae Joo-hyun snorted lightly, sat up a little, and quickly tapped on the screen with both hands, but before the long string of words that were typed out was not completed, he received a message from the other party following him:

"Let's not talk about it yet, I'll work right away."
