"When you watch the performance in the video, you can feel that we are trying to express new feelings......

"No matter what kind of stage it is, or what kind of color I want to wear, I will think about it before I can...... I hope that the fans and viewers who came will not regret it, and that the picture will always be in their memories. Chi Jingyuan was dressed in a concise black short-sleeved shirt, looking calm in the face of your camera, and he was familiar with Japanese and said his feelings.

“cut！”

"Okay." Finally, the PD in charge of filming stopped, and then waved his hand to signal that today's shooting was over.

At this time, Ji Jingyuan is filming EXO's new group show, "EXOchannel", which is the first time that XO has recorded and broadcast a regular program on Neon, and it is a program specially prepared by SM for their debut in Neon in the second half of the year.

However, it is not so much a group show, but a documentary, and the main content is some handsome footage of all XO's albums "MV" from their debut a few years ago until this year, plus some interviews and thoughts of some members in the middle.

It's very easy to record, you don't need to be involved in editing, you just need to answer some questions in front of the camera, and you don't even have to run to neon.

The first episode has been broadcast through TV Tokyo on August 7th, and the duration of each episode is only about 3 minutes, and the content is honestly not too nutritious, that is, to make neon fans recognize their faces, it is not a big project.

"Good work."

"Consanmida." At this time, Ji Jingyuan had just finished filming the next two episodes, and after PD announced the end, he stood up and saluted PD and all the staff with a smile, and then said hello to the other members who had not finished filming and were waiting next to him, and left the studio with his assistant.

has communicated with the filming crew before, and the day after tomorrow is the day of the final performance of "Song Ballad Festival", and he will have to go to the final practice with Li Zhien and them later.

"Bang."

"Brother, let's go eat something first, and then go after eating" Sitting in the nanny car, Chi Jingyuan lowered his head with his mobile phone, and said to Cui Zhichang in the driver's seat at the same time.

"Okay, Jingyuan, what do you want to eat?"

"Find a random one next to the company that you usually go to."

“ok。” The engine sounded, and the car drove out of the parking lot next to the SM building, while Ji Kyung-won was sitting in the back of the nanny car, looking at the text message that Bae Joo-hyun had just received on his phone.

"The recording of "Idol Games" is over, I am really tired!" The tone is like a coquette, and he is also complaining, obviously the recording experience of the first "Occasional Games" after his debut did not bring Bae Joo-hyun too good experience.

Redvelvet went to the recording of this show yesterday, and I heard that they arrived at the scene before dawn in the early morning, and then the recording was not over until midnight, and if they returned to the dormitory to rest and sleep after returning to Seoul, it should be just time to get up.

She obviously felt a lot of emotion, and then sent another one: "I know why you and XO didn't go!" ”

"It's really tiring, but the recording in the middle is actually quite interesting, and it's also very lively when so many people get together...... By the way, did you win first place in any of the projects you participated in yesterday? Chi Jingyuan glanced up at the route Cui Zhichang was driving, and then replied attentively.

"No...... The wrestling that Shiqi signed up for, kkkkk Yilin is not someone else's opponent at all, and the same one was pushed to, Shiqi insisted for a long time and didn't win, and in the end it was directly 2:0, Xiurong didn't play...... Thanks to the fact that they practiced seriously for a long time the day before yesterday, they laughed at me hahaha......

"Then there was team archery and we made it to the final and we still lost...... But I'm shooting accurately, you'll know when you watch the broadcast. Speaking of this, Bae Joo-hyun seemed to be cheerful all of a sudden, obviously yesterday's recording left her not only a bad impression, but also some projects that were actually quite interesting to play.

"Who are your wrestling opponents?"

“apink.” As soon as I saw the name, Ji Jingyuan immediately understood, Zheng Endi, a wild woman in the countryside of Busan, is the best at fighting, and Wu Xiarong is a tall man, and he feels that he can sit Jin Yilin over with one ass, and I heard that Yin Pumei also has a lot of strength, and it is normal for those few small arms and legs to be not an opponent.

"By the way, we didn't just participate in the recording in the company yesterday, but Yuta and Jae Hao from Rookies also participated, and I heard that it was also arranged by the company...... None of them have debuted yet. Saying that, Bae Joo-hyun specifically mentioned the news, a little meaningful.

The two she said are members of smrookies, and they are also the preparatory members of the boy group that are scheduled to debut next year, this boy group has not officially debuted yet, sm has already started all kinds of warm-up and foreshadowing, smtown has their stage, not to mention, last year also let a few people show their faces in exo's group variety show and cooperate in songs, and last month also gave yuta the position of a fixed guest on the popular variety show "non-summit talks", and this time they directly went to "even games".

There are so many resources that show their faces without debuting, and it is really not too much to say that it is a royal family, and it can be seen that the company seems to be really optimistic about this infinite men's group plan.

And of course the young lady understands what the young lady means, obviously she also thinks that the resources of this boy group are a little too good, and she is a little worried that they will seize the resources of Chi Jingyuan and their xo after their debut.

It's nice to have this kind of ass tilted directly to your side, and it feels good to stand in your position and care about you.

"It's fine." Ji Jingyuan didn't pay much attention to it: "Let's talk about it when they debut." "The current level of EXO is really not something that can be achieved by giving a few cases and a few more variety shows, and Chi Jingyuan is not worried about someone grabbing his own resources.

"Hmm...... By the way, I finally know why I heard them say that "Even" is a bit like an idol blind date show, and yesterday there were several male idols who asked for our members' numbers, some passed notes, and some came directly during the break, it was really ......" Seeing that Ji Jingyuan didn't care, Bae Joo-hyun didn't take it to heart, and instead talked about the most impressive thing when she recorded it yesterday: "I met several, but I didn't pay attention to them...... Shiqi and them too, by the way, and Yilin, don't look at her young age, she is really popular. ”

"That's the case, on that occasion, recording together for more than ten hours, eating and resting together, and sitting so close, it's normal to look at each other in this atmosphere."

"Have you met it before?" After Bae Joo-hyun said a few words, she was actually most interested, and what she wanted to know was this.

"Do you want to hear the truth, or do you want to lie?" Chi Jingyuan was very calm, and he swayed Erlang's legs, not feeling that this question was difficult to answer at all.

"What do you say?"

"Nonsense, this still needs to be asked, of course I have encountered it, and there are more than you can imagine."

"Cut, I know!"

"I know you're still asking?"

"Hmph, just ask." ………… While chatting with Bae Joo-hyun and feeling the squeamishness under the young lady's face, Ji Jingyuan not only completed his daily work, but also seriously carried out the final practice with Lee Ji-eun and Jung Hyung-don, everyone was very satisfied with the two songs of the group this time, and they also worked hard to prepare for such a long time, it was impossible to miss in the most critical place in the end.

But speaking of which, since Zhou Ziyu asked him what song he wanted to sing in "Song Ballad Festival" that day, and was perfunctory by him, there was no strange sound in the back, and I don't know if he was angry or something, and the two of them have not been in contact in the past few days.

And the two days passed in a blink of an eye, and on August 13th, the day of the last concert of "Infinite Challenge Song Festival", the day of many days of serious preparation finally came to show.

Because the venue for the event and recording was not in Seoul but in normal times, Ji Kyung-won got up early in the morning today, and after simply packing up, he took a nanny car and drove nearly two hours to the scene.

After the MC and the guests gathered and prepared, it was almost half past nine o'clock, and everyone stood on the big grass outside the venue.

"Hello, spectators, Anihassai."

"Infinite Challenge!" Facing the camera, the MC and all the guests together stood in a long row, first bowed and saluted to say hello, and then under the leadership of Liu Zaishi, he shouted a slogan and made a signature move.

Although the focus of this episode is on the concert, there are also many other things to be recorded, including the pre-hosting, chatting, stage construction, rehearsals and other scenes, plus the final performance, which together constitute the final core of this year's "Infinite Challenge Song Festival".

Ji Jingyuan was dressed in casual patterned short sleeves with denim pants, standing on the left side of the team, and Li Zhien followed Liu Zaishi's control next to him, because the sun was a little dazzling at this time, and he also wore a baseball cap to shade the sun.

"Ahh The Great Long March, which lasted for more than 50 days, is finally coming to an end today, and I really don't know how the time passed. ”

"How's everyone going? Wuli Jingyuan? Liu, in the middle, has small but attentive eyes under the stone-black-framed glasses, looking left and right, presiding over the recording of the show.

"Well, the performance is well prepared." Chi Jingyuan, who was cue, pulled down the brim of his hat and stretched out his hand to gesture: "As of this morning, I have been in good shape." ”

"Why this morning?"

"Because as soon as I came here, I immediately became nervous when I saw such a large venue and the audience waiting outside......" The camera gave a close-up, his eyes were on his face, Chi Jingyuan half-squinted, pointed to the performance venue behind him, and then pointed to the audience queuing outside the venue: "Now my legs are a little shaky." He was startled when he came in the morning, there was a long queue outside the venue where the concert was held, and the makeshift shed stretched along the road for a kilometer or two.

After I came, I heard from the people in the program team that according to their statistics, there were already more than 20,000 people queuing up outside at this time, all of whom came to queue up all night last night, and even many of them arrived here three days ago, put up tents and waited here.

It is really surprising that the audience is so enthusiastic and crazy, but at the same time, there is also some emotion and pressure. Although they did this, there are some reasons why this ballad festival concert is free for all, and even eating and drinking are free, but it also shows that this year's ballad festival is really very popular, and the popularity, discussion, audience number and enthusiasm are far more than previous sessions.

"Ah, indeed, there are already 20,000 people outside......" Liu Zaishi was also quite emotional after hearing this, and after introducing the situation outside, he pulled everyone and shouted: "In this scorching heat, we have come to wait despite this discomfort, and we once again express our heartfelt thanks to the audience who came to participate in the celebration." ”

"Consanmida!" Everyone saluted and thanked at the same time. Bowing, Liu Zaishi moved on to the next topic: "So now, the team names of all the cooperative groups have been decided, right?" ”

"Hmm." Haha nodded and pointed, "We're 'hot and warm'." ”

"What about these two?" Yoo Jae-seok looked at Yoon Sang and Jung Jun-ha.

"Sangjunha!"

"Ok, what is your name as Sangjunha, then iuxi?"

"It's not like a reason." In front of the camera, Li Zhien was not as atmospheric as when he drank in private two days ago, looking a little shy and shy to say the name of their group, Ji Jingyuan smiled, and sighed helplessly in his heart.

, Every group has to think of a name, and the same is true of their trio, he has actually thought of several cool group names before, but after saying it, they were denied by the other two people, and in the end, they got around and gave such a ridiculous group name that hurts the literary style.

The name was thought of by Lee Ji-eun. It's ugly, but it doesn't matter, anyway, it's just a day like today.

Except for them, Wu He's group has not thought of a name until now, and after everyone casually arranged a group name for them, the recording weight here is almost enough, and Liu Zaishi shouted

After the "Infinite Challenge Lingdong Expressway Song Festival, the stage is open", everyone followed the camera and entered the venue of today's performance.

Today's concert venue is quite large, with a capacity of more than 30,000 spectators, and I heard that this is also one of the venues that will be used for the Winter Olympics ski competition in a few years.

The whole stage, and all the equipment are temporarily built on the spot, and the program team has been busy with this since a few days ago, and it has not been completed until now, but basically there are some equipment construction finishes left, and there are still eight or nine hours before the start of the performance, and there is still plenty of time.

After browsing the entire venue and visiting the stage, today's rehearsal officially began.

There is no backstage at the back of the stage, the lounge is in the middle of the venue, and during the rehearsal, except for the performers, all the other guests sit in the shed directly below the stage, facing the VJ who carries the camera next to them, filming various reactions to face other people's rehearsals, and it is also the first official appearance of this ballad festival song, of course, other people have to give all kinds of surprise, joy, praise and other reactions, doing the show is like this, courtesy exchanges, blowing some rainbow farts to each other, the audience also likes to watch.

Although it was a little hot, but during the preparation period, he looked at the other groups rehearsed on the stage with great interest, and he didn't pay special attention to it before, this was the first time he saw the songs and stages of several other groups of this ballad festival, and after watching it for a while, he felt that the quality of this ballad festival was really good, and the songs of each group sounded very distinctive.

For example, the performance of Park Jin-young and Yoo Jae-seok's "Imsexy" is really interesting, and he can't help but laugh and applaud all the time, which can be regarded as the most sincere and sincere reaction from just now to now.

There are also songs with the two groups of hyukoh bands, and it can be seen that they are all made with great care.

Don't look at the combination of Chi Jingyuan and IU is the most anticipated and concerned by all the audiences in the outside world, this time the song festival explosion also has a lot of credit, but so far, in the case of the final song has not been officially performed, the biggest gain from this show is actually and hyukoh These two groups of people have relied on this year's popular song festival to show their faces, although these two groups of people can't be said to be obscure, but they are a little niche, but they are very popular in their own small circles, But this time, because of their participation in the song festival, they directly strode out of the small circle, and their popularity among passers-by and the public skyrocketed during this time, and it can be said that they became popular rapidly in just one month.

The single "Yanghua Bridge" released in September last year had a mediocre response when it was first released, but during this time, under the effect of his soaring popularity, and relying on the excellent quality and touching core of this song, "Yanghua Bridge" made a crazy counterattack on the music source list, directly rushed to the top of the list, and became one of the hottest songs nowadays.

Not only passers-by are listening, many artists, and even many variety shows have often cued this song during this time.

Chi Jingyuan also went to listen to this song, which is really good. After the rehearsal of "House Tower", after the rehearsal of "House Tower" ended, and after receiving a burst of screams and cheers and rainbow farts from other MCs and guests, the trio of Chi Jingyuan sat in the shed below, holding the stage video that they had just asked the assistant to shoot and were studying to see if there was anything that needed to be improved.

"It doesn't look like a problem overall, after all, I've practiced so many times......"

"However, I think there could be more impromptu interaction to heat up the atmosphere...... For example, here, when it comes to this part, Iuxi and I have a high-five, and the effect should be very good. ”

"I think, that's it, too!" After a full round of rehearsals, it was noon, everyone took a short break and entered the lunch time, Chi Jingyuan sat in the shed, holding the hamburger provided by the program team, and ate with some difficulty.

Not because it's unpalatable, but because it's too hot and stuffy. The open-air venue has this problem, without the help of air conditioning is easily affected by the temperature, today's temperature is already very high, and it has just rained for a few minutes, not only does not dispel the heat, but makes the surrounding air stuffy and damp, and people are uncomfortable.

And they still build seats and sheds on the grass, and there are often grasshoppers and other small insects jumping around, which is quite disgusting to look at.

Chi Jingyuan really hates bugs.

"Jingyuan, drink some ice water." Seeing Chi Jingyuan sweating and panting, looking hot and uncomfortable, assistant Cui Zhichang hurriedly took the initiative to pick up the ice water and handed it over.

"Thank you, brother." Chi Jingyuan thanked him, took it directly and poured a big sip, exhaled comfortably, and felt that his vitality had come back a lot.

I didn't have much appetite, and after barely swallowing a hamburger, Chi Jingyuan didn't want to eat it anymore, so he took out a small electric fan and blew it at himself, and at the same time took out his mobile phone and swiped it to see if there was today's news and whether anyone had sent a message.

It's just that he just turned on his mobile phone and saw the top push content of a piece of news, and all his attention immediately shifted to the past: "Confirmed by SM, the agency to which Girls' Generation belongs: 'The reason why members Lin Yuna and Li Shengji are working together is less and more separated, and the breakup is true, but they will continue to get along with each other with a good relationship between seniors and seniors. ”
