Chapter 64: It's too ordinary
"I ......"
Hearing this question, Bae Joo-hyun blinked.
Actually, she really wanted to go, originally I wanted to go when EXO toured last year, but the tickets for the XO concert were too difficult to grab, and the window was empty in less than half a second.
The tickets for the first and extra games were not grabbed, and the relationship between her and Chi Jingyuan at that time was not as close as it is now, and she was embarrassed to speak, and she herself did not make her debut, so she could only regret her sullen behavior.
There is no problem with the second tour this year, and the debut performance on the 13th is still a very memorable day for Ji Jingyuan, and she is also very interested.
Because the reason she wanted to go to the concert was not actually the concert.
But now that she has debuted, the two of them are still co-hosting "Music Bank" at this time, and they have been knocked CP by many audiences, and they are also in the stage of being angry by Aili, if they are photographed, or if they are seen by fans, it is easy to cause misunderstandings, and then arouse fans' glass hearts and desire to attack.
And even if I were going to go, I would definitely go with the members of Red Velvet. This topic was mentioned when the group chatted before, and Bae Joo-hyun could see that several members were obviously interested, especially Kim Yilin, a lively sister in 99, who had a high enthusiasm for handsome guys and liveliness, and even participated in social interactions.
When a person goes to be seen, it is really unwashable, not only love rumors, but it is estimated that the news of discord within the team will come out.
"Your performance is about to start, the tickets have already been sold out, and the time is so close, even the internal tickets should have been distributed......" Bae Joo-hyun looked forward to it, but hesitated for a moment and raised his eyes to glance at him.
She's right, a very sought-after concert company like EXO will reserve a lot of internal tickets for the staff and members to allocate themselves, but near the beginning, if it still hasn't been sent out, the company will also make arrangements for these acts, and will not allow a lot of vacancies in those high-quality positions.
"If someone else buys it, it will definitely be gone, your words ......"
Ji Jingyuan blinked when he heard this, and he always felt as if he was being despised . He gently snorted at Pei Zhuhyun, and then suddenly laughed:
"Not either."
didn't look at the other party's expression and didn't say more, he directly sped up his pace a little, and shook his hand casually: "Let's go, I'm off work." ”
“……”
Hearing this, Pei Zhuxun couldn't help but purse the corners of his mouth, snorted lightly, glanced at Ji Jingyuan's back, chuckled and followed quickly.
……
Unexpectedly, after the broadcast of the second issue of "Music Bank", Aili's attack on Bae Joo-hyun, who had just been a little weaker, immediately ignited again, and the popularity instantly overshadowed yesterday's victory and fight, and after the show was broadcast, the number of Bae Joo-hyun's ugly pictures surpassed Choi Seung-hyun's emojis, becoming today's fan black picture TOP1.
They really saw this dead aunt smiling and grinning on TV, and from time to time they were furious when they made physical contact and looked at each other ambiguously, and they really wanted to rush up and tear this woman's mouth apart.
can only say that until now, he has only scolded on the Internet, and there are no offline unti activities, and Bae Joo-hyun's luck is actually quite good.
But correspondingly, in addition to the fans of the two families, the meals of other groups and ordinary audiences are getting more and more fond of this pair, and today the two of them go to that station, and the different styles but inexplicably similar hairstyles highlight a sense of pairing, which is eye-catching and reluctant to change the channel, and even some people are a little impatient when they see those pasted stages when they watch the live broadcast, and they wish that these boring and boring stages would hurry over and hurry up to the MC appearance.
On some forums, especially under the official account of "Music Bank", the praise has gradually increased.
is not praising the stage, most of them are praising the hosting style and excellent appearance of the fixed MC, especially the tacit understanding and ambiguity when combining, which really makes people feel sweet.
After just two episodes of broadcasting, there are already CP fans of this pair of MCs on the Internet, and they are named CP like "We Are Married", and they are directly knocked up, what are the CP in the company and other several nicknames, click on some of these CP fans' posts, you can see screenshots of Ji Jingyuan and Bae Joo-hyun's various eyes and interactions, so that people who don't know will probably think that "Music Bank" is a love variety show after seeing it. However, there are still many people who like this pair of CP and this tune very much, and several hot posts have appeared in a short period of time.
Although I still can't beat the black picture on the screen, compared to last week, at least there are a lot of splashes to resist a little.
It can only be said that Peninsula people really like to fall in love and like CP very much.
Especially watching others engage in CP.
The ratings also prove this, and at the meeting just now, PD Han Kyung-chul had already announced that the average rating of this episode had reached 1.7%, and at the same time, the peak of the ratings was still a clip of two MCs appearing and hosting, in addition to EXO's stage.
Compared with the average rating, which has been stable at around 0.7% for more than a year, the effect on the newly appointed MC is immediate.
If the ratings of the first episode skyrocketed because of the attention brought by the return of EXO and the appearance of the new MC, it is clear that the new viewers and ratings brought by this episode have stabilized, and it is clearly rising steadily.
After reading the statistics and evaluation, Han Jingzhe praised Ji Jingyuan and Pei Zhuhyun fiercely during the meeting, and the attitude of the entire program team was so enthusiastic and kind that it was not good, and the praised Bae Zhuhyun saluted and thanked him again and again, with a shy and embarrassed face, and his smiling teeth were exposed.
If the ratings of "Music Bank" can continue to rise, it is estimated that the reputation and treatment of these two MCs on KBS will be much better, and various resources are estimated to be slightly tilted at some times.
Ji Jingyuan doesn't care, but it is a very important thing for Bae Joo-hyun, who is still a newcomer, and it will help her a lot in her future activities.
EXO won one place, and bigbang was ridiculed by Ellie and some passers-by on the Internet because he didn't come today, and he fell into a bit of a disadvantage in the collision between the two boy groups.
Just the loss of one can not change bigbang's super sound source results, nearly ten days after the song was released, the two songs of the album "M" still occupy the top two on the melon chart, and the top position of "loser" is very stable and has never come down, which is also in a headwind. P talk to comfort and tear the roots.
. P's tone has gradually changed and soon the rhetoric has been unified, and various rumors and posts have begun to belittle the gold content of the current singing program, indicating that the gold content of such a thing does not have to be in the past, and it is not as important as the sound source at all.
And BIGBANG has been a big senior for so many years, and I don't care about one or the other for a long time, some of us were still in junior high school when we ruled one a few years ago, and now we are performing on singing shows to give back to our fans, which is proved by the fact that you and Oba have not arranged a few singing stages when they return to the company this time.
"And we Oba are making money on a world tour, and we're so busy, I heard that GD Oba is ready to buy a house, how can it be like some groups that don't even know the number of members, they show their faces every day on a singing show, these things are still left to the younger generations to fight for, we don't care, idol groups still want to make money to put it bluntly."
Words like that soon followed. P is popular, and it's the same as the crazy call for sisters to vote together to get the first person to hit the first person a few days ago.
If you can't compare the appearance, you can't compare the style, if you can't compare the sales, you can't compare the sound source, and if you can't compare the one, you can compare the generation and revenue.
Anyway, there is one that can win you, even if all of them can't win, I can still say that my family is a minority, and what wins is style.
It can only be said that some fans really never go against the wind.
But what they said actually makes sense, the ultimate goal of idol groups is indeed to make money, no matter what sales, music sources, songs, and variety shows, the purpose is ultimately this, so seeing that there is another advantage, SM immediately announced on SNS the next day that EXO will also be absent for the rest of the week, as well as most of the singing activities next week, focusing on the preparation of the new album and the upcoming concert.
It's the same as last month, but fans also expressed their understanding, and Ellie also knows that the Oba are very busy, and the second tour is coming soon.
After understanding, it is in full swing and. P continued to tear up.
……
"Isn't it a bit ...... for the hair color of our MV this time? Bright, huh? ”
Gave up today's singing, EXO was called out by his agent early on Saturday morning, and went directly to the studio where the background had been built, and after queuing up to do the styling, he was ready to start shooting today's MV.
This time I shot the MV for the title song "boy with love" of "L", the last single album.
"boy with love", as the final finale of the four-piece singles, is very valued by SM, both the company and the members have high expectations, and even more optimistic than the first release, "Call Me Baby", which swept through January.
Because although this song is a dance music, the style is very novel, the choreography is unique, and it is really good, the catchy chorus is also very toxic, and the lyrics can be understood as a confiding and confession to fans, no matter which aspect according to their understanding of the song industry, it is completely in line with the standards that a big hit song should have.
In addition, the performance of EXO, who is now enjoying the momentum and returning to the top, and the huge popularity generated by the competition with bigbang, the company can't help but raise their expectations a little, and at the same time, they are very serious about the production of various aspects of this song.
Speaking of which, 'boy with love' is not actually the official name of the song, this is just the English name, and the official song title in Korean and Chinese should be called "Poem of Drops".
Or, to put it more romanticly, it's called "Poems in Praise of the Small."
Chi Jingyuan feels that the name is much better than 'boy with love', 'boy and love', 'boy with love', it doesn't feel good when you hear it.
Because I have been busy with various things and preparations until now, I have not found time to shoot the MV, and I am already a little nervous in terms of time, and I will go to the field to rehearse the concert on the 11th, so the filming of these two days is estimated to be a continuous rotation of day and night, and at this time, the nine members who have just finished the styling are standing in the studio, taking advantage of the fact that they have not officially started, looking at each other's costumes and shapes.
"The colors are indeed a little bit brighter."
Looking at the various hair colors of the members around him, with the matching of white and pink clothing, he felt that he was standing here as if he was in a garden, bright and eye-catching.
After styling, they found that the hair color of many members of this time has changed a lot, although there are also cases of dyeing special hair colors in the previous few returns, but only a few, and at this time, at a glance, except for a few black and brown darker hair colors, most of the others are bright and magnificent, extremely conspicuous.
"I think it's pretty handsome." Park Chanyeol buried his head and pulled at his pure white hair, and his tone was very satisfied, but he added later: "But compared to white, I actually look like the smoky gray in the foreground when I tried it, and the effect should be quite good." ”
He has been coveting Chi Jingyuan's soot style for a long time, and he has been hungry since the shooting of the MV of "Call Me Baby".
Wu Shixun also shook the bangs in front of his forehead, glanced around and nodded: "This time's style is really distinctive, and it feels okay." ”
He's light gray.
Although the color is eye-catching, the overall look is very pleasing to the eye, idol itself is to try a variety of different shapes and hair colors, and the style of each return will definitely be different.
How much repercussions Chi Jingyuan's soot hair color caused in the fan base before, and how many passers-by climbed the wall were also seen in their eyes, not to mention it, in fact, they were very envious in their hearts, and they probably thought that if it was themselves, they would definitely not lose too much, and their popularity would also increase a lot.
"Assi...... I think you're all pretty good-looking, but why do I have pink hair? ”
It's just that the others are okay, but Bian Boxian frowned, looked left and right at a mirror not far away, and complained with some dissatisfaction: "This color looks so strange, why did Cody Nuna design such a color, is it suitable for this color?" ”
Among the nine people in the entire team, two people are the most conspicuous, one is the pink-haired Bian Boxian, and the other is ......
"Because there is no plot and special effects in this MV, in order to highlight the style and characteristics of the whole song, the colors of the costumes and releases need to be bright and eye-catching, and the overall effect will produce a warm and comfortable feeling after special post-rendering, which is pleasing to the eye, which is in line with some of the meanings of "Poems of Drops".
As one of the producers who participated in the production and MV design of this song, Ji Jingyuan stood up and explained simply: "The company is still very professional in the styling part, and some of the designed shots need the background and our hair color to produce a color foreshadowing effect to appear better, many colors are actually discussed in meetings, and not everyone is like this, such as Min Xige's hair color is specially used to use a heavy primary color, which is used to form a contrast of tones, and at the same time make the audience look less tired." ”
In the end, Chi Jingyuan also smiled bitterly, also lowered his head and flicked his bangs in front of his forehead twice, and said to Bian Boxian helplessly: "And brother, you are not alone, my hair color...... Actually, I think it's quite average, not very suitable. ”
Turning the perspective, Chi Jingyuan's half-length hair has some textured layers, which look fluffy and shapely after treatment, the sideburns on both sides stop abruptly at the cochlea, and the fragmented bangs cover the forehead in a staggered arrangement, and the different shades penetrate the skin underneath.
is completely different from the juvenile feeling of "Love Me Right" this time, and this time his style in "Poetry of Drops" has completely changed, and it is actually somewhat similar to the bangs specially made because of Pei Zhuhyun's words when he hosted "Music Bank" yesterday, but it is more refined.
And the most conspicuous is the hair color, the hair dyed blue is as eye-catching as the sky and seawater, and compared to the rich dark blue color is a little lighter, fresh but with depth, looking at a completely different temperament and feeling spontaneously.
It's just that Chi Jingyuan seems to be a little dissatisfied with this hair color, and he also frowned and teased a few times, and pouted lightly.
He felt that the shape of his return this time was quite ordinary, the blue was too conspicuous and a little exaggerated, if the lighting was appropriate, it would be okay, but if the lighting was not good, it would look a little dim.
At the same time, the bangs can't be messed up, Cody said that this shape will either make the current messy covered bangs, or make it into a comma style, and the others will look very awkward.
Compared with the smoky gray shape that he also felt good and satisfied with during the period of "Call Me Baby", Chi Jingyuan felt that the blue color this time was a lot worse, and this color could only be used on stage or in the MV, and the effect was okay, but in real life, he really didn't want to dye it, it was too strange.
At the same time, it's really troublesome to get it, even dyeing a disposable color has taken Cody a long time to operate.
"Isn't it appropriate? I look okay! Baehyun's skin makeup is very good, and Jingyuan's words are really handsome with your appearance, and it feels very good. ”
Listening to the complaints of the two, Jin Junmian next to him carefully observed a few times before speaking, and then sighed slightly dissatisfied: "If you are really dissatisfied, we can exchange, I would rather dye the hair of both of you, at least eye-catching enough." ”
Like Kim Min-seok, he is a primary color close to black, which is not ugly among the colors, but a little ordinary.
And when idols are not afraid of strange shapes or exaggerated colors.
idols are afraid of the ordinary.
After complaining about the styling for a while, the staff was ready and began the official shooting.
In addition to the 13-year-old "XOXO" album title song "Wolf and Beauty", EXO also specially invited the heroine, did special effects and filmed the drama version of the MV like a series, all the other return to the title song has never done such a big action, generally just dancing in a few scenes and then editing everything, at most adding some special effects and rendering to make the picture look better.
The reason why I don't make any plot versions anymore may be because I spent so much effort at the beginning, but the response was not as good as expected except for fans, so I didn't bother to do these things anymore.
This time, "Boy With Love" also has no plot, and it is somewhat similar to "Love Me Right", except for dancing in the studio with different scenes, it is some close-up shots to show the demeanor of each member.
"It feels a little more ordinary......"
It's just that the filming just started a little unsmooth, and after the director PD shouted 'card', the person with EXO looked at the picture shot in the monitor and frowned slightly.
The MV and choreography open with nine people facing away from the camera, making a few waves and then turning around and starting to move, and when half-turning, in the MV, a super close-up of Ji Jingyuan's face standing in the C position will be given.
It's only been filmed a few times, and the effect is handsome enough, but PD always feels a little less flavorful.
"The choreography and MV style of this song is to be a little flirtatious, to put it bluntly, it is to be a little angry, you must not be flat, Yuan, the sun of your laughter."
After looking at it for a while, PD thought about it and pointed out the problem: "The introduction of the opening scene is very important because it will make a first impression, and the effect is too ordinary just to smile...... This close-up of the face when you turn around, Yuan, you try to add a small expression and small movement, blink or raise an eyebrow or something, it should be better to be more vivid. ”
"Well, I'll give it a try, PDnim."
Ji Jingyuan listened carefully to PD's instructions, and Yu Guang glanced at VJ, who was carrying a camera next to them and was filming production tidbits at them, and nodded to indicate that there was no problem.
Isn't it just flirting with fans, it's a trivial matter for idols.
That's what they do, expertise.
"Come on, try again."
Ji Jingyuan briefly thought about what to do, and soon everyone returned to their positions, and when they were ready, under the command of PD, the musical accompaniment sounded together.
“wooo~~~woo~~woo~~woo~~woo~~”
As the prelude sounded, after making a few consecutive rhythms left and right with the rhythm, all the members of the beat half turned around to face the camera, and at this time, VJ walked in quickly with the camera steadily, and the camera focused on the face of Chi Jingyuan in the C position and began to close-up.
At this time, Chi Jingyuan was not as 'sunny and ordinary' as he was just now, I saw him half-turn around, the bangs in front of his forehead shook slightly, his delicate eyes looked directly at the camera with a little smile, and at the same time, his lips opened slightly, and his tongue quickly crossed the corner of his mouth on the left side, flashing lightly like a glimpse.
Then the corners of his mouth curled, and he quickly turned back with a light smile, making the shot blank and unfinished.
At this time, the PD in front of the monitor did not stop as before, but waved his hand in surprise and shouted excitedly:
"Nice, that's how it feels!"
