Chapter 129: Secret Story
"I think we can adopt this model when we come back this time......"
As soon as the tidbits of the first section of the video opened, this picture appeared, and Chi Jingyuan on the screen had a serious expression, and his tone was serious and he was explaining and introducing something to the other people around him.
This clip is estimated to be filmed relatively late, even though the heating may be turned on in the conference room, but everyone in the camera is wearing warm clothes for autumn and winter, among which Ji Jingyuan is wearing a black casual jacket and only a section of dark jeans, which is slightly abrupt in a group of company elites who mostly wear professional clothes.
Especially, a little too young.
At the same time, perhaps in order not to disclose the situation in the room, and not to expose the identities of the surrounding staff, many places in the picture have been mosaic and blurred, and the faces of the staff in the room, that is, Ji Jingyuan and Li Xiuman, can be seen more clearly.
"What is this doing?"
Many viewers who watched the beginning didn't react and didn't understand what it meant.
"Could it be ......?"
However, many people saw this posture and scene, and after listening to the first sentence, they immediately had some guesses in their hearts.
The next picture quickly answered the doubts in their minds.
"The return method that we used to release original and reissued albums most often would work well in normal times, but when it comes back to XO next year, it still feels a little weaker...... So much has happened this year, and now we know a lot about the group, so next year's full-fledged album is particularly important, and I think we need a more novel or grand comeback project in terms of form and momentum......
"Everyone, please look at ......"
In the video, Chi Jingyuan picked up the remote control, turned on the projector, and the PPT that had been made in advance appeared on the screen of the conference room, he walked to the stage, while operating the PPT, while introducing it in detail, many things became clear at a glance.
“…… I thought it was great to have two remissions to their respective titles in the previous project, but instead of going for the 'original reprint' model, my suggestion was to split the four title songs and use them as the core to produce four singles albums, each of which included two high-quality non-title songs in addition to the title song......"
"Then it will be released in four months, such as March, April, May, June, or May, June, July, and August, and each month will be released on the same day and will be released at the same time as the song......"
“…… I also have an idea of the album name, which is named after the official fan name of our XO, so it is the last regular second album, and the four letters are exactly four single albums, which can be regarded as a kind of gratitude to the fans for supporting us, idols and fans are one, I believe that many meals will be very happy after seeing it......"
Speaking of this, Chi Jingyuan, who was standing in front of the conference room, paused, glanced back at the large projection screen behind him, his eyes stayed on the words clearly written in black font on it, and pursed his lips, with a smile in his eyes, which seemed to contain some expectations.
"We ...... It's a pleasure indeed. ”
Seeing this place, countless Aili immediately replied silently in their hearts, they looked at the pool scene source in a dark casual dress on the screen, and the pool scene source was slightly blurred in the slightly gray light, but they only felt that the idol at this time was shining all over their bodies, so that their bodies bathed in it were warm everywhere.
It turned out that the name of the album, which was regarded as a masterpiece by all fans and thought that SM finally had a conscience once, was proposed by him......
There are even some fanatical fans who are more sensitive in their hearts and can't hold back directly and wipe away their tears.
And some passers-by, and even insiders who were watching this tidbit video, focused on what Chi Jingyuan said, and looked at him in amazement as he gave a lecture, introducing his ideas to a group of elites of SM Company, and always felt that this scene looked a little funny: "It's been a long time, EXO's return mode this year, is it really proposed by Yuan?" Make no mistake, can any of his members decide on their own group's comeback plan? ”
"Could it be for hype, it feels a bit exaggerated......"
"EXO's current popularity and popularity, does it still need to be so hyped? And SM will let Li Xiuman and several director representatives of these company executives get together to pose for you for the sake of the pose you said? Can you talk with a little brain? Is it so hard to admit that Yuan is just powerful? ”
"This is my own plan, and I also bring my own PPT? Whether he's an idol or a producer, he's really powerful. ”
"Didn't look at the list? Yuan Oba is one of the producers of the second album of XO this time, and he is responsible for several songs. ”
Because of the popularity of XO and the huge success of this album, the national popularity is different from last year, and after uploading these tidbits to the official YouTube account in the morning, in addition to fans, it also attracted a large number of ordinary viewers.
“…… I think it's more suitable to be the first title song than the style or pop. ”
“…… The previous promotional video proposal was quite good, choose ten cities or regions in the world, and the initials are connected to the name of the song......"
The first few scenes of the album planning meeting are the highlights of the album planning meeting that many people have seen for the first time, including the return mode, the discussion of the theme, and even the discussion of the song selection and the promotional video, all of which were edited with the participation of Ji Jingyuan and other members, although there are not many, just a few sporadic shots, but many viewers feel that it is very novel.
Because many people are seeing this kind of idol album for the first time and the behind-the-scenes production footage when they return, most companies will not make these things public, even SM still added a lot of mosaics this time, and at the same time, after a lot of editing, some very important things were not put in it.
But it still makes most people watch it with relish.
Some passers-by who have only heard the name of EXO, but have not paid much attention and understanding, can't help but feel a feeling of being uplifted in their hearts after watching the beginning of this tidbit, and always feel that this boy group and this member look really special.
This time, EXO's highlight album is very long, from the return project to the preparation of the four single albums, and then until the release of the second album, from the company's high-level meeting Ji Jingyuan speaking in it, to the choreography and practice of the songs, and then to the on-site shooting, many of the scenes and shots that EXO himself didn't care about were all faithfully recorded by the VJ who followed the shooting.
And it's not just all positive, but also some negative and frustrating clips.
“Callmebabycallmebaby.”
“Callmebabycallmebaby……”
At this time, the video entered the next P.,At a glance, you can tell that it's in EXO's practice room.,The accompaniment was turned off by the agent before it officially ended.,The surviving music stopped abruptly with some harshness.。
“…… Aren't you just dancing the crab at the end of the most important ending and killpart in the whole choreography, and you still can't dance neatly......"
"I'm a ......"
"Suho, and Baehyun, see for yourself what you dance, you're about to shoot a MV or this level, I ......"
The members who had just finished a dance practice stood in place panting, some lowered their heads, some pinched their waists, silently listening to the angry criticism of the agent and the dance teacher.
In order to be able to play these clips, some of the words spoken by the agent and the teacher were silenced with dirty words and words that were too harsh and not suitable for fans to hear.
Otherwise, it will be controversial after many fans see it.
But even if these are played, people can still feel a heavy sense of pressure.
"Do you know how the current combination is...... Forget it, let's go eat first. The agent calmed down after the fire, and after a little helpless and anxious, he walked out of the practice room with the teacher after saying a final word.
The lower left corner of the screen also gives the date in real time, January 1, 2015.
When many fans saw this date, they couldn't help but wonder in their hearts, and they all knew very well what it was like to be in time.
This is when the whole group has changed from 12 people to 9 people to announce a new start, and it is in a stormy situation, the future is bleak, and the outside world is in decline.
Everyone knows how important this regular second album is to them, including EXO himself.
The practice room in the video fell silent, but the frozen atmosphere did not last long, and after a while, the others left to eat, after all, after practicing for so long, they were already hungry and had no strength.
It's just that Jin Junmian and Bian Boxian, who were named just now, didn't go together, they stayed alone in the practice room, and after being silent for a few minutes, they stood up and began to practice again.
Then the video began to be processed at double speed, and what happened after that was shown to the audience at dozens of times speed.
In the practice room, the two of them repeated the crab steps of the last section over and over again, walked from left to right in the practice room, and kept correcting their movements in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror.
After half an hour, Chi Jingyuan and Wu Shixun came back with food for them, and after a short bite, several people did not rest, and continued to practice together.
When the other members came back, they didn't say anything else after seeing the brightly lit practice room and the constant repetition of the music, but just looked at it twice and silently joined in.
The team in the video went from two to four, to seven, and after a while it was back to nine.
With dozens of times the acceleration, everyone only saw the video of EXO dancing this dance tirelessly and indefinitely, as well as the picture of practicing the crab step at the end.
At the same time, the time marked in the upper right corner is constantly changing, from 18:00, to 20:00, until 22:00, 0:00, 2:00......
The continuous repetition of the exercise looks like a replay, but the time displayed in the upper right corner reminds everyone that this is not the case.
This tidbit really brought quite a lot of shock to the audience, as well as a lot of inexplicable emotions.
Not to mention that fans are moved and distressed when they see this kind of fan abuse footage, some passers-by can't help but sigh in their hearts after seeing it, no one's success is achieved overnight, idols look very beautiful in front of the camera, but the sweat paid behind the scenes is indeed real.
However, in the world of Peninsula songs, hard work is the least worth mentioning, and if you want to succeed, this is just the most basic quality.
“…… Ani Hasaiyo, I'm Chanyeol, we're on the MV shooting site right now, I've just finished styling, now I'll take you around the venue we shot today, you need to use several luxury chartered cars today, look over there, wow, it's really handsome...... Sitting on the sofa over there is Jing Yuan, he is the first to finish the modeling, let's go say hello...... Shhhhh......hh Well, the members are really tired during this time, and they haven't rested much......"
In the picture, Park Chanyeol, who was shouting and filming tidbits, lowered his voice at the right time, and after approaching, he took a small picture of Ji Jingyuan with the camera, only to see him sitting on the sofa at this time, his legs naturally spread out, his hands clasped in front of him, his head bowed and his eyes closed, and he was already asleep.
The closed eyes, the smooth contours of the cheeks and the bridge of the nose, the sound of long, gentle breathing, and the freshly made smoky gray hairstyle form an elegant and beautiful picture of relaxation, which is eye-catching.
"Ahhhhh
"I was very tired when I saw my expression, and I fell asleep when I sat there on the shooting site, and I really felt sorry for Oba."
When a young lady saw this scene, she was a little distressed but reflexively pressed the screenshot, carefully took a few screenshots, and after watching the tidbits, she was puffed up.
There are a lot of tidbits on the debut single album, from the beginning of dance practice, to the shooting of pictorials and music videos, to the shooting of the 'cinematic' trailer that has made fans show off so far and made others feel SM's wealth, and the most important one, and the preparation of an album that opened the prelude to this year's EXO summit was displayed in front of all audiences.
Through these close preparations, professional album production, and the hard work and cooperation of all the members, many people unconsciously seem to understand why this year's EXO's regular second album will burst out with such a strong and dazzling light.
"Just wait for me right there."
"Wait for me there."
Enter the next P,A picture turns and appears in a room similar to a music room.,A group of people are holding a monitor and looking at it seriously.,Through the accompaniment of BGM,A lot of people know it's when they hear it.
“…… Jingyuan, what do you think? After asking for the opinions of the surrounding circle, the only two people who showed their faces, Li Xiuman looked at Chi Jingyuan and asked.
"I think ......"
Ji Jingyuan frowned slightly, looked at the monitor that had just played the MV several times, and said after a few seconds of silence:
“…… At the end, the end at the station is a bit abrupt, and it should be that everyone should get off the train at the end of the part, and the nine members walk in the empty and desolate wilderness at the beginning of the day, but the ears are brightened by the gradually rising warm sun, and then the camera gradually zooms up to aerial photography, and finally freezes. While hinting at making a summary of the past youth, it can also express some hopes and longing for the future......"
“…… I should make up such a shot in the back and cut it in, this is my first reaction and the most real thought after watching this version of the MV. ”
Although Ji Jingyuan, who was watched by everyone, looked young on the outside, he was overbearing at this time, and he didn't have the smile he usually showed, and his serious and serious expression seemed to make people ignore his appearance and age, which looked very convincing.
This kind of occasion, and this kind of performance, formed a great contrast with the appearance of idol in front of the camera in the past, but it made people experience the charm of his other side.
This scene ended with Li Xiuman slowly nodding his head and making a thoughtful gesture, and as soon as the camera turned, the picture appeared on the moving nanny car, at this time Bian Boxian was holding a small camera, asking himself a tidbit of the photographer.
"Ah, Anihassai, good morning, everyone...... We're sitting in the babysitter car right now, what are we going to do next? ”
"That's right, we're going to reshoot the MV footage later...... Ahh Speaking of this, he couldn't help but shout, and complained to the camera: "Because of the use of snow scenes, the MV was actually filmed a long time ago, but in the middle of the night last night, the agent suddenly notified us to go to reshoot today, and we got up before three o'clock......"
"How could it be so sudden......" Bian Boxian was a little hysterical as he spoke, and he roared twice in a muffled voice to vent.
At the edge of the picture, Chi Jingyuan, who was sitting against the window, seemed to have twitched the corners of his mouth at this time, and turned his head to look out the window.
"Do you think Yuan is holding back a smile?"
His small action did not hide from the audience and fans who were amazingly observant, and soon the following comment area began to be lively:
Yuan was holding back a laugh, and Yuan almost couldn't hold back...... The other members of the relationship didn't know that the reshoot MV was proposed by Yuan? Being complained about in front of people really laughed at me. ”
"But the original MV didn't have the last part at the beginning? Although many people are saying that the MV is very good and beautiful, I feel that the last part, where all the members get out of the car and walk in the wilderness, soak up the sun and smile away together is the most classic, all the emotions before have been released, completely sublimating the feelings of the entire MV, and every time I watch it, I feel particularly healing. ”
"Indeed, although the front shot is very beautiful, but the expression of feelings is still a little insufficient, the last few shots really let the previous feelings be released, I have watched the MV dozens of times, and every time I watch it, I will still be very moved...... I really didn't expect it to be added by Chi Jingyuan? ”
"I can only say that without the last paragraph, the word-of-mouth, especially the MV evaluation, would definitely not be as good as it is now."
The enthusiasm for this segment was high among both fans and passers-by, and the interludes and events behind the production of these albums were extremely interesting to everyone.
The original MV didn't have a final shot at the beginning?
It turned out that the amazing shot at the end of the MV was proposed by Ji Jingyuan to be reshot, and even the shooting process was designed by him?
These little secrets not only satisfy the audience's curiosity and desire to snoop, but also can't help but feel that the male idol does his part, and there is really no one.
