Every year, the four major fashion weeks attract a huge number of media, artists, fashion editors, brands, buyers and guests, who will gather in these fashion cities during this time period to perform the most lively show in the fashion industry.

This year's Milan Fashion Week started on the 23rd, and Chi Jingyuan arrived here two days in advance, and before he stayed in the hotel that he had booked before, he already felt the kind of noisy, quiet, classical, and modern temperament that the city showed from the inside out.

Maybe it's a fashion for a city.

Because of the shortage of resources, SM's team actually doesn't have much experience in the preparation and design of artists coming to participate in fashion weeks in Europe and the United States, so a few accompanying staff are a little nervous in their seriousness and enthusiasm, but the artists of SM at Fashion Week in Seoul are also frequent visitors, and they will not be at a loss if they learn from each other. In addition to helping Chi Jingyuan screen the brand invitations they received, they didn't know where they saw the experience of some seniors watching the show, and they kept giving him some knowledge of popular science.

For example, the venue for watching the show is generally very crowded, there are many people and few places, so it is best to tightly put the calves together when watching the show, or clamp the legs tightly, and the same is true for men.

Especially if you're sitting in the front row, remember to keep your feet in and don't block the camera.

For example, Chi Jingyuan was actively invited by the Gucci brand, and he is considered to be the group with the highest gold content among the invited artists, so if there is no problem, you can chat with the brand's designers and design directors.

For example, as an artist, even when he is watching a show, he must always maintain a straight sitting posture and perfect expression management, because there will be cameras from nowhere to shoot him all the time.

Especially when sitting with other artists, or taking a group photo, you should pay more attention to these, because as long as you are a little careless, the expression management is slightly poor, plus the other party may not be able to retouch, and the four corners of the lens are distorted, you will look ugly when you look back in the photos of other artists, and become the object of group ridicule, glamorous pressure, and being trampled on by the same frame.

This one is the most important thing to look out for......

After two days of preparation, the Spring/Summer 2016 Milan Fashion Week officially began, and at that moment, the whole city seemed to come alive.

Walking on the street and in the venue with his agent, Chi Jingyuan also looked at the crowd of participants who came and went around with great interest, although he didn't really know much about fashion, but he knew how to read people.

These people attending Fashion Week can clearly tell what they are doing by what they are wearing, how they look and what they are looking at.

For example, most designers wear more casual and comfortable, usually the kind of cotton T-shirt, a pair of old sneakers on their feet, an unconventional hairstyle and oversized sunglasses are a must, they like to hold a mobile phone with a coffee in their hands, move back and forth between the various workbenches in the venue, and talk to you from time to time.

And have an absolute height advantage, most of them wear dark clothes that show their body curves very closely, they must be models, black, yellow, white all kinds of skin tones, if not the day after tomorrow to prepare for the catwalk, generally either smoke in the corner, or only in the hurry to eat a little fruit and salad to replenish energy, usually most of them have a cold face to maintain a high-level misanthropic temperament, only when chatting privately with the little sisters of the same industry can you see some smiles and warmth.

And the extremely fashionable and beautiful clothes, as soon as they appear on the stage, they murder all kinds of films, they must be star artists from various countries, they face various cameras with a standard sunny smile or a standard cold expression as soon as they show their faces, whether it is expression management or eye posture, they can't jump out of the problem, compared to watching the show, they pay more attention to showing themselves.

The rest of the bags are stuffed with invitation cards for various brand launches, media people who are updating SNS every second, holding various materials in their hands, busy with brand public relations that do not touch the ground, purely to watch the show, dressed fashionably and luxuriously, enjoying the meticulous care of the brand, and going to that cup of drink has a top VIP customer who has a special position on the brand.

There are even a lot of fashionable passers-by who wander outside the show in fancy clothes and never go in, just to be photographed by street photographers.

Under the responsibility of everyone, this show is very prosperous.

I don't look at the clothes, but I feel really wonderful just by looking at the people.

Chi Jingyuan also met his eldest sister Chi Xianjing, as a top VIP customer, the eldest sister will receive a fixed invitation from the brand every year when she has this kind of show, but although she is a loyal customer of these luxury brands, she used to be too lazy to come because of work, but this year it may be because of Chi Jingyuan, she also flew over to watch the show with a few friends she knew this time.

After the eldest sister arrived in Milan, Chi Jingyuan went over to have a meal with her and chatted for a while, and met with the noble ladies and friends who came with her under her introduction, and was teased for a long time.

However, he also has his own job, and Ji Xianjing also has his own arrangements, and after making an appointment to have a meal together next time, the sister and brother will go separately and go their separate ways.

GUCCI as a heavyweight brand of Milan Fashion Week, this time the opening show is them, but also the main purpose of Chi Jingyuan's visit, when waiting at the venue, unexpectedly, at the invitation of the brand, he met the new design director of GUCCI, and this once he took office, the brand has undergone great changes, and the man named Alessandro Michele, who has been widely praised in the industry, chatted for a while.

The design director's shawl hair and beard stand out, and with a bright contrasting tweed coat, you can tell at first glance that he is a professional in the fashion industry.

From the attitude, Chi Jingyuan can see that Michele may be really optimistic about him as rumored, but because there are too many people to communicate, many people are queuing up behind, so he didn't talk for too long.

In fact, in addition to completing the work of the brand, the biggest purpose of the three-day fashion week show is to take pictures and send them back to the peninsula for SM people to send out to fans and passers-by over there, but

And on Chi Jingyuan's side, he was dazzled, colorful, and saw countless pieces of various hunting styles of clothes, and he was a little dizzy when he sat in the show now.

To tell you the truth, he really doesn't have much interest in fashion and these clothes, in fact, most of the time he is looking at people.

The most impressive thing about Ji Jingyuan in the past two days was that on the second day of Fashion Week, he participated in a big show of a brand, and when he sat in the second row and waited for the show to open, a blinding Asian girl walked in from outside.

She was dressed in an extremely bright red suit, and she was wearing curious heart-shaped sunglasses in the dimly lit room of the show, and she immediately became the focus of the audience as soon as she came in. She walked to the VIP area in the first row, greeted the guests one by one, attracted the reporter's camera with greasy gestures and very exaggerated laughter, and then hugged the guests one by one, took a group photo, took a bunch of photos, and finally disappeared before the catwalk began.

Chi Jingyuan, who watched a series of actions, was amazed, and the guests didn't know if they knew each other with this woman, but they were socializing like celebrities.

It is worthy of the fashion circle, and it always creates an atmosphere of 'everyone is famous'.

As for this woman who rubbed the camera, she must have said on her SNS in a few minutes that she would take pictures with big coffees, or be invited to participate in such and such a fashion week.

In addition, he has seen a lot of well-known stars, and there are many artists in Asia, some are invited by the brand, some are invited by the media, and some come to show themselves at their own expense.

But anyway, standing here and taking pictures is a victory.

CHI JINGYUAN DID NOT PARTICIPATE IN THE SEVEN-DAY FASHION WEEK, AFTER WATCHING GUCCI'S OPENING SHOW, HE WAS ACTUALLY FINE AFTER COMMUNICATING WITH THE SIDE IN PRIVATE, AND THEN STAYED FOR TWO DAYS, WATCHED A FEW SHOWS OF OTHER BRANDS, AND AFTER SHOWING HIS FACE, HE BOUGHT A PLANE TICKET AND LEFT MILAN IN ADVANCE.

After returning to Seoul, I took a short break, spent half a day being interviewed by several fashion magazines, and then returned to the company for a meeting, and after discussing and checking the progress of the work, it was also officially determined that Kim Tae-yeon's solo debut time was set for October 14.

Originally, the company expected to make his debut a little earlier and choose a time in the first week of October, but there were some delays in the progress of the post-album work, which caused it to not be completed as expected, so after discussion, Taeyeon's debut was postponed by a week.

But the impact is not big, after the 'romance' promotion a few days ago, the popularity and expectations of this solo album have been pulled to a very high level, and postponing it for a few days is nothing more than hanging the appetite of fans for a few more days.

After the album has been produced, the follow-up series of work no longer needs to be bothered by Ji Jingyuan, and his task as a producer has been completed, so he doesn't need to be too involved in the next related work.

After the discussion, Chi Jingyuan, who had just landed not long ago, boarded the plane again, flew to Fiji, and joined the EXO group that had been here two days ago to start shooting the photo album that the company planned to launch after a while.

Because of the popularity of the popularity, fans are eager for all the peripherals of XO, and the call for a photo album has been noisy for a long time, and this time it is SM who saw the fans' urgency and made a plan after the market was good.

This time the photo shooting time is not tight and loose,In the eyes of EXO members,This photo shooting itinerary is half work,Half holiday travel,It's actually similar to team building.,Take pictures every day.,It's very pleasant to swim.。

Although it is really uncomfortable to take a plane, but the scenery and climate of this place in Fiji are really good, and the seaside villa set by SM for EXO is also very stylish.

Ji Jingyuan also had a good time with the members for four days very casually, and at the end of September, he got the photo and returned to Seoul, after such a relaxing trip, as expected, EXO was going to start getting busy, and after putting things in the dormitory in Seoul, everyone was pulled to the company for a meeting.

EXO's Winter Special project for this year is about to start in earnest.

The Winter Special has become a signature of EXO, and it has not been interrupted since the second year of its debut, and this year, XO's momentum is so hot, it is natural that it will not be absent.

Because this year has completely reversed last year's decline, and the popularity is high with the intention of reaching the top, the company will naturally strike while the iron is hot, unlike last year's perfunctory, from last year's winter single, back to the winter special, that is, back to the scale of mini albums.

In fact, the preparations began more than a month ago. However, it is not like last year's winter single, Chi Jingyuan took the initiative to come up with such a sincere work as "Let It Be", this time in terms of song selection, Ji Jingyuan did not join after the company asked, so all the songs were selected by SM's team, and the members of EXO did not participate much.

"Pick up my worn-out guitar and the unspoken confession."

"And the words that choked in the throat, but did not speak."

“……”

"You're not fair!"

"Is it selfish? Just stop it. ”

“……”

Before going into detail about the album plan, all the members listened to all five songs from the company that the company had already selected, and some of them had already been heard and commented on before, while others were songs that had only been included in the album and had not been heard much before.

The most important of these are, of course, the twin titles that have been confirmed for this winter special, "sing for you" and "Unfair"

"Unexpectedly good."

After listening to the demo of all the included songs, especially the two title songs, Chi Jingyuan's eyes lit up, and he nodded his head and couldn't help but praise: "The style is completely different, one is warm and melodious, and the other is lively and bright, both are great." ”

EXO's winter special has been of high quality since its appearance, and the winter album in 13 years has included several popular songs, such as "December Miracle", "First Snow" and "Christmas Day" have become classic songs in the minds of fans, and they have been sung very well to this day, especially "First Snow", which has been released since 13 years, according to the Peninsula people's habit of listening to songs according to the season, and then it will return to the music source list every winter.

The same is true of "Let It Be Natural" in '14, and its popularity overseas is even greater than that at home.

And this year's collected songs did not live up to EXO's good reputation in the previous winter college, at least Ji Jingyuan felt that several songs were of the highest quality.

"Yes, that's good."

"Wow, I feel like the song "Unfair" is so cheerful, and the stage must be very interesting...... "Several other members were also a little surprised, and expressed their opinions one after another.

"Jingyuan, which of these two title songs do you prefer?" Kenzie, who was sitting at the top, looked at Chi Jingyuan and asked curiously.

Kenzie is also part of the production team of this winter album, and she wrote the lyrics for the title song "Sing For You".

"If you like it, I think it's "Sing for You", the melody and lyrics are excellent."

Ji Jingyuan said after a little silence for two seconds, and after watching Kenzie laugh when he heard this, he added: "But if you talk about the stage effect, I think Unfair (eccentric) may be better, I also like this style, it makes people happy when they hear it......

"Okay......"

After the small talk, the representative in charge of supporting the meeting clapped his hands and began to get down to business: "This time the XO Winter Special contains a total of five songs, the double title songs "sing for you" and "Unfair", as well as "Girl x Friend", "LIGHTSABER", and "on the snow".

"The title of the album is tentatively 'Sing for You', which is the same name as the title song."

"Among them, the song "LIGHTSABER" is the official promotional song prepared for the company's cultural cooperation with the American movie "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" for its release on the peninsula, so it will be the first to be produced, and the lyrics of this song in the rap stage have not yet been determined, and I am going to leave it to you for publicity considerations, Jingyuan, Chanyeol, which of you is interested?" The representative looked at Ji Kyung-won and Park Chan-yeol, who were sitting next to him and listening attentively.

There are a lot of people in EXO who like to write songs, but they are the only ones who have rap responsibilities and creative desires.

"Brother Chanyeol, come on." Ji Jingyuan glanced at Park Chanyeol, who was obviously a little moved on his face, and took the initiative to recommend the other party.

If it's a whole song, he's still a little interested, just write a rap lyric and forget it.

"Okay, then Chanyeol come, I'll let the agent inform you later, let's go watch the original movie first and find inspiration ......":

Park Chanyeol nodded at him with gratitude in his eyes, and then it was formalized.

"In addition to "Sing For You", this song will also be specially filmed in order to match the movie promotion, and it will be announced when the movie is released in November, and the promotion and release time will not be shared with the winter special, but it will be included in the album as a song......

"By the way, in two days' Busan Film Festival, we will arrange for us to have an exchange with the crew of "Star Wars", suho, you remember to take a few photos and upload them to SNS, which is considered a gimmick and warm-up, and it depends on your agent's arrangement."

"Got it."

"As for the other songs......"

"This winter special, as usual, there will still be two versions Chinese Korean, so the task is very heavy......

"The scheduled release time is in mid-December, and you will debut in Neon in November, and there will be a lot of trips on the peninsula at the end of the year, so the time is still very tight, and the production of the album will officially start after the conference, so I hope everyone will participate in the work with an urgent heart, come on."

"Inside!"

……

After the meeting, the work of the winter special officially began.,Before September, I was idle for more than half a month.,EXO also began to work hard after the time entered October.,Regain the busyness that top idol should have.。

In addition to the winter special, there is also work on the neon debut album at the same time, and the preview version of the Japanese version of "love me right" was also released on the neon website on October 2nd, and a series of other warm-up work, such as the neon group "EXO Channel", the pictorial and the introduction magazine "EXO JAPAN OFFICAL BOOK VOL.2" are also being released on Neon according to the predetermined plan.

In addition to the 20th Busan Film Industry at the beginning of October, there are several platter concerts that require EXO to perform on stage throughout the beginning of October, such as the AFF Hallyu Festival on the 4th, the ONE K concert on the 9th, the EXO-L concert on the 10th, and the Busan Asian Music Festival on the 11th......

It can only be said that EXO's popularity and status have come to that, and now as long as there is a large-scale Kpop event such as this kind of concert, if you don't invite EXO, it will always make people feel that something is missing, and it will make people unconsciously think that this event is not high......

But this kind of activity is the most time-consuming, as long as there is this kind of concert to participate, basically the whole day time is gone, you have to go to the scene in the morning to step on the stage and wait, rehearse after makeup in the afternoon, perform in the evening, and then go back to the company to work overtime.

It is worth mentioning that the concert on October 10th was not a platter concert held by the outside world, but EXO's own solo performance, the full name of which is "EXO-Love CONCERT in DOME", as the name suggests, this time it was held to thank and repay XO fans EXO-L for its long-term support to idols, and it is a special thank you performance, not part of the ranks of the second tour.

The special feature of this performance is that the concert will be held at the Takachi Dome Stadium in the Kuro District of the Peninsula, commonly known as the Takaku Dome.

The tall dome is the first large-scale domed stadium on the peninsula, that is, the first 'dome', but it is said to be a dome, and the full capacity is only more than 20,000 people, which is slightly smaller than several well-known domes in other countries.

But the giant egg is the giant egg, and it's already very powerful when you say it.

After EXO was completed on September 16 this year, it has not officially opened to the public, and the Kpop boy group that held a solo concert here can be regarded as creating an amazing history of Kpop idol groups.

The work in front of the screen and the work behind the scenes are carried out at the same time, and Ji Kyung-won, who is busy every day, only feels that time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is the evening of October 13th, which is the day before Kim Taeyeon's solo debut and the release of the sound source.

At this time, he followed his agent to SM COEX, a studio that the company had set up.

Wait a while, Kim Taeyeon will have a live broadcast event before her official solo debut on the V APP, and as the producer and title song feat, Ji Kyung-won will be the guest of one of the links.
