As soon as the door opened, he saw Bae Joo-hyun sitting on the sofa with his legs on his side and fiddling with his mobile phone at first sight, and the other party obviously heard the movement, and he looked over as soon as he raised his eyes.

The eyelashes trembled mischievously, and the jet-black and translucent eyes rippled like a pair of shining black gems.

Before he could speak, his eyes met first, and after Ji Jingyuan glanced at him, he looked at the agent Quan Hyeying who was sitting next to him, while Bae Joo-hyun did not avoid it, and kept watching Ji Jingyuan slowly walk in.

I haven't seen her for a few days, and the young lady's face is still the same face, and the breath is still the same breath, although there has been some abnormal contact in the past few days, but at a glance it is still so familiar, that pretty look.

"Come so early......"

I have seen each other countless times through "Music Bank" for more than half a year, and I am familiar with it, so I directly omitted the standard greeting, Ji Jingyuan looked at Quan Huiying with a smile and took the lead in saying hello.

"We haven't been here for a long time, Jingyuan, have you just returned to Seoul?" Jeon Hye-young stood up and showed a big smile.

"Well, the members had some accident and rushed back overnight last night." Ji Jingyuan nodded and said a few simple greetings, then glanced at Pei Zhuhyun, looked around left and right, and said directly: "I forgot to say it before, there is no equipment in the practice room, and there is no choreography for this song, let's go directly to the music room to practice." ”

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Of course, Jeon Hye-young and Bae Joo-hyun would not object, the two got up and cleaned up, and after putting the bag on their backs, several people walked out of the practice room together.

The music room is downstairs, and a few people didn't take the elevator and went downstairs directly, and chatted casually about recent things along the way, Jeon Hye-young cared about Kim Jong-in's injury and began to ask about the time of this stage, Ji Jingyuan briefly talked about it while walking, and soon arrived at the destination.

"So this time the stage is a very simple stage for men and women to sing, there is no choreography in the middle, and I originally wanted to bring a guitar to the stage, but after thinking about it, I still forgot it...... It's mainly about some cooperation and interaction between me and Irene...... It's here. ”

Ji Jingyuan said, opened the door of the music room and led a few people in, and after some preparations, he and Bae Joo-hyun sat close together, and the two agents acted as bystanders on the sofa on the other side, swiping their mobile phones to look at the documents, and glancing over there from time to time, but they kept quiet.

"How's it going?"

Before starting, Ji Jingyuan asked casually, and Bae Joo-hyun nodded lightly, looking quite confident.

He could see that Bae Joo-hyun might be a little thoughtful, but because he was working, he also said that the two of them didn't talk much and quickly practiced together.

As Chi Jingyuan just said, the song "Dream" is a very simple duet between men and women, without any special positioning, just two pairs sitting together, looking at the audience, or watching each other chant and sing.

The main thing is to arrange some small interactions to set off the atmosphere, and this is actually what they are best at, and they don't even need to practice, sometimes just a look or a look, and another person can connect with a ...... In the past six months, this kind of thing has happened countless times.

They have practiced this kind of cooperative stage twice before, the MC's boarding stage and the Christmas stage, and this third time they got off the bus.

However, in terms of the difficulty of the performance, this time is the easiest.

"It's a little bit low, a little bit of a ...... Well, that's good. ”

"This time it's ...... Pretty good. ”

Although Ji Jingyuan knows that Pei Zhuhyun's quality as an idol is very good in all aspects, except for being a little shorter, some other skills, such as singing and dancing, have almost no shortcomings.

But during the practice, he unexpectedly found that this sister sang this song "dream" unexpectedly well, and when she practiced for the first time, she could already be said to be familiar with it, the melody and lyrics were already in her chest, and the score didn't need to be read at all, and even the expression of feelings was very in place, as if she didn't need to practice at all.

I don't know how many times she has practiced this song in private in just a few days.

It's actually a little embarrassing to say, although Ji Jingyuan is guiding the two to practice, he feels that he hasn't sung well yet, and he has been busy touring these days, and he hasn't practiced a few times after writing songs and recording demos.

I sang it several times in a row, and I also designed and rehearsed several interactions, and the practice went smoothly, and after about an hour, I entered the break time.

No one went to the bathroom, the two of them each drank some water and sat in place, not far away the two agents saw that they entered the rest, and they couldn't hold back for an hour of silence, chatting quietly.

Ji Jingyuan and Bae Joo-hyun sat together but were a little quiet.

The sound of rustling came to this side and was faintly inaudible, one of them lowered his head, as if he was looking at the music score in his hand, and the other was holding a water cup, looking at the bubbles of the liquid inside, but he didn't take a sip for half a day.

After ten seconds of silence, without warning, the two of them suddenly spoke together.

"Singing so well?"

"Write a new song?"

Different voices emerged at the same time to break the quiet atmosphere around them, and the two voices of the man and woman collided tacitly together without discussion.

Coincidentally, when Ji Jingyuan and Pei Zhuhyun were talking, they all kept the same movements just now, one lowered their heads, the other looked at the water glass, although they were talking to each other, they didn't mean to look at each other, but after hearing the voice, they all raised their heads in surprise and looked at each other, their eyes and eyes touched, and a subtle feeling slowly brewed and quickly raised.

"Haha......"

They looked at each other and winked at each other, then laughed together, one putting down the papers in his hand, and the other placing the water glass on the table.

The temperature around me seems to have risen quite a bit all at once.

"I've had time to practice a few times in the past few days......"

The laughter dissipated, Bae Joo-hyun first glanced at the agent's side, and after finding that there was no situation, he looked at the score in front of him again, and pouted at him: "I, I like this song a lot, well, the lyrics are very well written......"

She actually got the score, and after reading it, she knew that this song was a new song written by Chi Jingyuan, in addition to the lyrics and thoughts are very appropriate, the title of the song is like writing her name directly.

The heart is naturally happy, but more than that, it is a little complicated.

Such a beautiful song, a sweet melody, and longing lyrics......

But it was used on the stage of getting off the car,

However, although she had mixed emotions in her heart, she didn't want to show too much in front of Chi Jingyuan for many reasons.

And Chi Jingyuan listened to her easily, but the level of practice just now was not something that could be sung casually by taking the time to practice a few times, Chi Jingyuan estimated that this sister had spent all her free time practicing this song in the past few days.

"Isn't the song title also good?"

Ji Jingyuan tilted his head slightly, looked at Bae Joo-hyun's eyes and blinked.

Because it's an exercise, I don't need to wear much makeup, and it's a simple but well-fitting coat that catches my eyes, with long golden bangs hanging down to my chin on both sides of my cheeks, and the curls on the back of my head are braided like a ball, like a bud, and a dull hair has grown up under a closer look.

The face is protein-white, like a high school student.

"Poof......" The young lady couldn't help but laugh again when she saw him like this, held her mouth and puffed out her cheeks and trembled a few times, then nodded and looked at him, with a playful tone: "Inside, it's very good!" ”

The smile is good-looking, exactly the same as usual.

"Hehe......" Chi Jingyuan also laughed, raised his eyes and thought about it: "It was a sudden inspiration a few days ago, my brother and I went to a friend's wedding together, and then went to a Qing bar together in the evening to sit for a while......"

He spoke briefly, and then was interrupted by Bae Joo-hyun during a pause.

"The day you fed the stray cats?" The young lady looked at him with a smile.

"Well, that's the ...... that day" Chi Jingyuan hesitated for a moment, and nodded helplessly.

What he didn't expect was that he and his second brother seemed to be recognized when they were walking on the side of the road that day, especially in front of the building, he suddenly emotionally took out the jerky and fed the stray cat casually, and the scene was filmed by someone who didn't know who took it on the Internet, which attracted a lot of attention.

However, because of privacy issues, he is the only one in the photo, and the figures appearing in some other angles are all mosaic, and there are no scandals, all of them are rainbow farts blown by fans, such as what:

"Wow, although I'm wearing a mask and a hat, this eye and figure look like Yuan, okay? It's so superior. ”

"Yuan really feels like feeding stray cats, I feel like the whole person is crying."

"The way Oba bends over to feed the cat is already one of the compositions of my life, and kind people are the most handsome."

Even some passers-by expressed their good feelings, and Chi Jingyuan, who was blowing, couldn't stand it anymore.

He's actually in a good mood to feed it, and to be honest, he really doesn't like cats and dogs very much.

Next time, if he doesn't feed it after seeing it, he won't be said to be a collapse of the personality, right......

Of course, there are also many black fans who say that they will make a show that it is disgusting, and that the laughter is fake and so on, which has contributed to a lot of heat in the quarrel with fans.

"At that time, I happened to meet a stray cat, and I just brought snacks and fed it, but I didn't expect to be photographed...... The couple singing in that Qing bar feels really great, the inspiration for the song "Dream" was generated at that time, and some of the design of the stage of this song also has some references......" Ji Jingyuan looked at Bae Joo-hyun, whose eyes were crooked, and with an aftertaste, he told about what he encountered a few days ago.

There was one sentence he didn't say, that is, he felt that the tacit understanding and natural feeling of the resident couple was a little similar to the two of them.

"Is it really that romantic?" The young lady's eyes were bright, and she seemed to be a little longing.

"It's in Hannam-dong, let's just go together next time we have time." Chi Jingyuan has a good impression of that bar, and he doesn't mind taking someone to go again next time.

"Good!"

Bae Joo-hyun nodded lightly in response.

After a while, Pei Zhuhyun became a lot more natural, and the two approached and whispered while resting, talking and talking, as if she remembered something, her tone changed, with some regret and complexity:

"In the past two days, the fan response on the Internet has been really fierce......"

A few days ago, January 8th was the time for the broadcast of "Music Bank", and it was also the penultimate episode of Ji Kyung-won and Bae Joo-hyun as MC, but this issue was not a live broadcast, but was recorded in advance on the 6th.

In this episode, the duo also recorded a VCR in which they thanked the audience for their support for so long and teased the news that they would officially get off the bus after the next episode.

After the show was broadcast, it immediately caused an uproar and directly appeared on the hot search.

Although less than a year is not a long time, because of the super high topic degree and passer-by, the names of "Yinyin CP" and "Friday Couple" have already penetrated into the hearts of the audience of "Yinyin", it can be said that most of the audience at this stage are coming to see the two of them, and they have accumulated a large number of CP fans for most of the year.

As soon as the news of getting off the bus came out, it caused a wail, and the audience and fans called for not getting off the bus under the official account of the show, and many people even ran to SM's account to leave crazy messages, cursing the company for not being a person, letting such a good pair of fixed MCs get off so early, leaving questions such as 'garbage company hurry up and die' 'Why is it so early?' Please don't get off, I love this pair of MCs so much, "I can really watch it for a lifetime" and many other remarks.

The reaction was quite intense,

Of course, there are also many fans of the two of them who happily beat gongs and drums after hearing the news of getting off the car, happily celebrating that their Oba husband/sister and wife are finally freed, and begging to get off the car quickly, and never see each other in the future......

However, regardless of the disturbances from the outside world, whether the audience is in favor or against, it is difficult to change what has been determined, and no matter how long it takes, sooner or later, there will be such a day, and now what Ji Jingyuan and Bae Joo-hyun can do is to try their best to record the last episode and not leave regrets for their fixed MC career in the past eight months.

And the music bank on the 15th of next week has naturally become the focus of many audiences' waiting and attention.

"Indeed, don't talk about them, in fact, we are ...... ourselves" Of course, Chi Jingyuan also saw it, and he nodded slowly in response.

Seeing that the fans and the audience are so supportive and reluctant, he is actually quite moved.

But then when he saw Pei Zhuhyun, whose expression remained unchanged but her breath was lost a lot, Ji Jingyuan looked at her eyes and smiled lightly: "But this also shows that we are doing a good job, doesn't it?" ”

Hearing this, Bae Joo-hyun also looked at him, frowned, and laughed:

"Hmm."

…………

After practicing for a morning without any problems, the two of them recorded a demo together as the background sound and cushion sound of the stage, even if it was done, because of their respective schedules, they should not practice together together before the official rehearsal.

The two said goodbye to each other, Bae Joo-hyun and their Red Velvet were recently preparing for a new album and return, while Ji Kyung-won returned to the crew to film.

“CUT！ , Chen Hsong's sitting posture is more casual...... This way, you your leg directly onto the other leg. “

"Jingyuan, you raise the wine glass further, and you want to touch it...... Then smile a little. ”

"Okay."

Ji Jingyuan and Zhao Zhenxiong both responded and changed their movements according to the director's instructions.

At this time, they were not filming a formal scene, but were filming the cover poster of the drama "Signal", and the location of the shooting was chosen in this barbecue restaurant called Shuangdapo Salt Barbecue, located in Qingpodong, Yongsan-gu.

This barbecue restaurant is a more famous place, because the slightly old and retro decoration is more distinctive, many TV series have been filmed here, the more famous ones are like last year's "The Producer", and at this time their "Signal" crew also chose to shoot the promotional cover here.

At this time, the three leading actors of Chi Jingyuan, Kim Hye-so and Zhao Zhenxiong sat around the small round table, there were many dishes with side dishes on the table, the white smoke of the charcoal fire rose gently, Ji Jingyuan was wearing a black suit on the far left, Kim Hye-so was in the middle, and Zhao Zhenxiong was on the right, the three of them were either brilliant, reserved, or shy smiles, holding a small wine glass containing sake in their hands, their arms stretched forward, and they held the posture of clinking glasses in the center of the round table.

Under the dizzy yellow light above their heads and the dilapidated red brick walls behind them, even if they don't need to do any post-processing such as color grading and rendering, the poses and expressions they freeze at this time are already very tasteful.

The scenes of three policemen in different eras, but working side by side, meeting, partying, and sitting here made many people in the crew who knew the plot feel very good after seeing it.

"CUT, very good!"

Jin Yuanxi looked at the finished product in front of the display, touched his chin and examined it for a while before nodding with satisfaction, and at this time, the three leading actors of Ji Jingyuan also walked behind him, looked at the monitor and discussed together.

"It's a good shot."

"This composition looks really good......"

"Do you want to take another picture? I think it would have been better if I had a little more of my expression. ”

After a few days of overtime efforts, coupled with the extremely fast filming progress with the cooperation of the actors and crew in excellent condition, by today, January 13th, the first few episodes of "signal" have been filmed, and the current work has actually entered post-processing, broadcast publicity, and OST and other aspects.

The singer of the first OST "Memory" chose Zhang Fanjun of the group Busker Busker, and his voice is very suitable for this kind of song with some vicissitudes and a touch of sadness, which is much more suitable than the OST singer Chi Jingyuan that the crew first considered.

The pace of the crew has also slowed down, and in the next few days, except for some actors who need to reshoot and dub for sporadic scenes, other actors can stay in the crew all the time and wait until the day before the official broadcast to come back again.

At the same time, the premiere time of "Signal" has also been set, and it is confirmed that it will take over the Jintu drama schedule of "Please Answer 1988", which is about to end, and will premiere from half past eight in the evening on Friday, January 22, and will be broadcast for two consecutive days a week, with one episode per day.

Before that, the 16th will also broadcast the edited filming footage and some interview footage as a special to warm up.

Jintu dramas are almost the best time for tvN to broadcast TV dramas, and almost all dramas that are valued by TV stations will be broadcast at this time, such as last year's "Unborn" and this year's "Please Answer 1988".

Although the cast of "Siganl" is strong, the TV stations of various resources are also very sufficient, and the crew and actors are also very confident. But to be honest, their broadcast pressure is actually quite large, because "Please Answer 1988", which they want to take over, is a phenomenal TV series that is unimaginably hot.

The sequel to the 'Please Answer' series has been almost universally popular for two months, with ratings climbing from 6% in its premiere to 17% in episode 18, which aired on January 9, which is an unbelievably high score for a cable TV.

Complemented by the ratings is a higher degree of popularity and discussion, and recently the Internet has been full of news about this drama, speaking of TV series, it is it, and even makes people think that this is the only drama that has been broadcast recently.

At the same time, this drama also instantly became popular with several leading actors, and before it was finished, the heroine Girls Day Lee Hye-ri changed from an ordinary idol to the most trendy advertising queen, and the future was instantly brightened while being popular among the whole people, favored by advertisers, and the popularity and commercial value of the single exceeded that of the group I don't know how many streets.

Several other leading actors are also famous and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, that is, when the celebrity lists of Gallup or Forbes were counted last year, "1988" had not yet exploded, otherwise there must be the names of these main actors in the top ten.

Chi Jingyuan, who watched all kinds of popularity and benefits, was a little surprised, but unfortunately, as the leading actor of the pioneering work of the "Please Answer" series, he was not suitable to participate in the main role of the follow-up play.

Taking over such a drama is really stressful for the crew of "Signal", because the average ratings such as 5% and 6% are very good for cable TV stations, which are already very successful in normal times, tvN can't produce a few films a year, but it will be a little bleak in front of "1988".

With such a strong cast and excellent script for "Signal", of course, you don't want to be a foil for others, and the pressure naturally comes.

After shooting the cover, today's work is almost over, and when Ji Jingyuan packed up his things and said goodbye to his seniors and the staff and was about to leave, Jin Yuanxi also specially grabbed him and instructed: "In a few days, the press conference before the broadcast, Jingyuan, you remember to get ready, you are one of the key points of publicity." ”

Although a lot of resources and materials have been released, and the popularity and attention of "signal" are also very high, in order to better promote the effect, the program team will hold a press conference the day before the official broadcast, and the three leading actors will be present to introduce the plot and answer various questions at the same time, and the whole process will be broadcast live with V APP.

Kim Won-seok didn't know if he hadn't done this before, and he seemed a little nervous.

"I know, don't worry, PD." Chi Jingyuan waved his hand and smiled to pack the ticket.

For Ji Jingyuan, Jin Yuanxi was still very relieved, his expression looked much better, patted him on the shoulder, and waved his hand to signal him to hurry back.

"Then I'll go first."

……

After returning to the dormitory, I didn't stay up much late, because there was an important trip tomorrow, and the EXO members rested early.

Everyone got up early the next morning, and after a brief fix, they followed their agents to the venue for rehearsals in preparation for tonight's Seoul Awards.

The biggest suspense and gimmick is that EXO, which has won the award for two consecutive years for 13 years and 14 years, can set a record and become the first artist group to win the first song award three times since the Seoul Music Awards were held.

The Seoul Song Awards, formerly known as the 'Seoul Music Awards', has been held since 1990 and was renamed along with the city in 2005. T., Cao Chengmo, after modern times, there is only the only girl group in Girls' Generation.

It can only be said that it is worthy of girlhood.

But no matter how brilliant these people are, at most they have only won the big award for two consecutive years, and none of them have three consecutive years.

So many people are still quite concerned about whether EXO can break through history.

But propaganda is propaganda like this, saying so, but in fact, there is really no suspense......

Because as far as 2015 is concerned, there is really no one who can compete with EXO, and the other combinations are obviously inferior.

The only competitive BIGBANG is that it has announced in advance that it will not attend, but even if it comes, it will be the same...... Because the organizer of the song is biased towards SM......

So a lot of fans and viewers really just want to see the historic scene of EXO standing on the stage to receive the award, to witness the history, and then cheer for them.

Sure enough, in the final session of the Seoul Music Awards on the evening of January 14th, under the watchful eyes of all the audience and fans in front of the live and TV sets, as well as more than a dozen groups of artists sitting in the live audience, the two award presenters, Lee Sung-il, president of "Sports Seoul", and actor Ji Cheng announced the final award winners:

"The 25th Seoul Music Awards, Winners of the Grand Prize......"

"Who is it? Do you want to make it public? ”

"Grand prize, XO, rough Kamida."

Triple Prize, Achieved!
