"Nice, that's great!"

“…… Very good, it's just this look, a little sharper, a little more cold! ”

"This light is not right!"

THE DIRECTOR'S SHOUTS, SHUTTER CLICKS, AND FLASHES WERE CONSTANTLY HEARD IN THE STUDIO WHERE GUCCI WAS SHOOTING, AND EVERYONE WAS BUSY AT WORK.

Director Sovey Sandpo, who was the director of the advertising and poster campaigns, was a standard Italian, but he spoke English very well, so there was no language barrier when shooting.

Ji Kyung-won had read some of his materials before, and after listening to some anecdotes from Park Jae-hyun, he thought that this director was a gay...... According to him, this is very common in the fashion industry......

It was a little awkward at first, but after meeting, I found that Sandbo was a man-looking person, a very neat and well-groomed scumbag bald man, although he was dressed more fiercely, but his speech and style were very gentle, which made people feel good after contact.

After working together for a few days to shoot an advertisement, Chi Jingyuan feels that compared with the local photographers who cooperate on the peninsula, there is actually no big difference from the technical level, but Sanderpo is better at the use of character demeanor and light and background, and many clothes look uncharacteristic, but after a series of operations with the background and light, the finished product is a very elegant and high-end texture.

He may have something to do with Ji Jingyuan, who is a model, but he is indeed a very powerful and thoughtful fashion photographer.

And the team from top to bottom here is obviously more elite than the peninsula, and the work is very efficient.

In the past few days, there are five product lines to shoot, but the most important thing is fashion, GUCCI provides all the latest fashion of the season for him to shoot, and as a spokesperson, he will also enjoy a high salary after returning to the peninsula, as long as there is demand, Peninsula GUCCI and even the Italian headquarters will provide him with the fastest fashion and dresses of the season, and even beyond the season.

But let's be honest...... After replacing Michele as the design director, GUCCI's overall style has undergone a great change towards youthfulness, and the colors used in fashion in the past year are very bright and bold, and the wardrobe looks colorful at a glance, including the installation, which is not very in line with the aesthetics of Chijingyuan on the whole......

But, that's fashion.

However, other glasses and accessories are very good, compared to ordinary jewelry, it does have a unique sense of design and preciousness of top luxury, Ji Jingyuan not only let Park Jae-hyun spend money to buy some, but also used his identity as a spokesperson to ask for a few latest styles of glasses and jewelry, ready to be sent back as a small gift to his daughter or other friends.

"Y Nive, take a break for the time being, and get ready to go to the next studio."

After changing dozens of sets of clothes, glasses, handbags and even ring jewelry in a row, after shooting for a few hours, he finally entered a short break, even Ji Jingyuan, who was already familiar with shooting advertisements, was already a little tired and numb, and after changing clothes in the locker room, he took the drink in Park Jaehyun's hand and poured a few sips, breathing a long sigh of relief.

"The working schedule of the fashion industry in Italy is really tight enough." Park Jae-hyun glanced at the staff who were rushing up and starting to pack up their things, as if they had turned clockwork, and sighed in a low voice: "And the atmosphere is actually quite serious...... I thought they would have a lot of ease in this fashion category. ”

"I've heard that there's a lot of pressure on them to compete." Chi Jingyuan put down the water glass and licked the corners of his mouth comfortably.

"By the way, your phone ......" Thinking of something, Park Jae-hyun handed Ji Jingyuan's mobile phone over: "It vibrated a few times just now, you can take a look." ”

"Hmm."

Chi Jingyuan nodded and took the phone, opened it, and sure enough, there were several unread text messages in the inbox, all of which were sent when he was just working.

"You said you had an overseas trip, why haven't you come back for so long, is there anything wrong?" This was sent by Zhou Ziyu.

Chi Jingyuan only casually told her that she had an overseas trip to go out for a few days, but she didn't say what she was doing, and the girl didn't care about it for the first two days, and she didn't know what she saw at this time, so she took the initiative to ask him with some worry.

In addition to Zhou Ziyu, some other friends also sent a few inquiring text messages, as if Chi Jingyuan, who had been away from the team activities for nearly a week, seemed to have become a topic of discussion.

"I went to the audition again yesterday and it felt pretty good... However, it is still not confirmed, but today "Arbitrary Attachment" premiered. ”

This was sent by Pei Xiuzhi, who spoke very bluntly about the progress of the competition for the heroine of "Ghost".

Well... There are also some hints of suggestion.

"(Selfie) This is a new look made today, what do you think kkkk" This is the female kiss Bae Joo-hyun, the tone and words are much more natural in comparison, with the beautiful selfie, at first glance with a kissing eager taste.

Ji Jingyuan browsed it, and when he was about to pick up a reply, he suddenly saw that there was an unread message below, and when he clicked on it, it was actually sent by Park Xiuna.

Park Xiuna is one of his big fans, and he squatted at the door of the company before Ji Jingyuan's debut, and he is the earliest batch of only fans of Ji Jingyuan.

I heard that she closed her small bubble tea shop not long after she became a fan of Chi Jingyuan, and now she runs a fan station of Chi Jingyuan, and she has a very good reputation among his fans.

Idols and some big fans are very close to each other, and they may have contact information with each other, and even convey some more secret insiders from time to time.

And the same is true of Ji Jingyuan, he also has a few familiar fans, these fans also know him very well, and some also know that his family background is very good, living in a well-known luxury villa area in Yongsangu, and even like Park Xiuna, and even vaguely know that he is in a relationship with someone......

It's just that compared to other members of EXO, he doesn't usually have a lot of contact with fans, and big fans know his personality very well and rarely bother him.

Chi Jingyuan clicked quickly and saw the text message:

"Have you read the latest news about Oba? You've been absent from the event for a week, but SM hasn't made any announcements. Now there is a lot of discussion outside, and the fan base is starting to be a little flustered...... Would you like to explain? ”

At the request of the brand, Ji Jingyuan's coming to Italy to sign a contract and shoot advertisements has always been kept secret, except for EXO, few people even inside SM know about it, Bae Joo-hyun still told her because of her intimate relationship Ji Jingyuan, in the face of Ji Jingyuan's sudden absence from the event, the usual well-informed fans were also black-eyed at this time.

No, I took the initiative to ask at this time

"Is it hot on the peninsula about my absence?"

Seeing what she said, Ji Jingyuan, who hadn't paid much attention to the news on the peninsula in the past few days, took out his mobile phone and clicked on several web pages on the peninsula, and asked Park Jae-hyun strangely.

Before the other party could answer, he casually clicked on a well-known Kppop forum, and immediately saw a shocking post title:

"Internal information, the reason why Ji Jingyuan was absent from EXO group activities for no reason was because he accompanied his girlfriend to the United States to give birth to a child"

Below, this whistleblower uses the taste of SM insiders, the very mysterious reason for Chi Jingyuan's absence, and also describes in detail the shock and helplessness of SM after knowing it, saying it vividly, just like the real thing.

The Aili who flocked to the reply post had already scolded him, and because it was so outrageous, even black fans didn't believe in this revelation very much, and watched it purely for fun.

Ji Jingyuan held back a strong sense of speechlessness, continued to look down, and finally knew why he could receive so many inquiry text messages from friends.

A Kpop swept away at this time, and there was not much to discuss the songs, but a considerable part of them were discussing the reasons for his absence, all kinds of speculations, what was sick, there were conflicts, fights and injuries, refusal of unspoken rules, and even plastic surgery recovery period......

Not to mention, compared with several other conjectures, the market for the theory of plastic surgery recovery period is really not small, and many people have left messages to express their belief and feel that this guess is very reasonable.

After watching it for a few minutes, Chi Jingyuan was full of tiredness and even a little injured......

Everything else is okay to say, what illness, contradictions, injuries and the like are reasonable guesses, and even going to the United States to give birth to a child he thinks a little bit, but ...... Facelift?

Although, it seems to be a reasonable guess, but no matter how he looks at it, Chi Jingyuan, who has always cared about the remarks of black fans, actually feels like he has been attacked.

Assi!

This is the worst time he has been hacked.

"What's wrong?" Feeling that Ji Kyung-won's mood was fluctuating, Park Jae-hyun asked strangely.

"Nothing ......"

Gritting his teeth, Ji Jingyuan touched his face, and then shook his head to soothe his emotions.

For the sake of the timeliness and popularity of the news, the cooperation with GUCCI is to be kept secret, and his itinerary in Italy cannot be made public, SM doesn't know what reason to find, and he has withdrawn from team activities for so long at once, no wonder there are all kinds of strange speculations outside, and fans are also a little worried.

"Let's shoot it...... After I went back, these remarks naturally disappeared. ”

Talking to himself, Chi Jingyuan closed the forum and prepared to reply to these text messages.

It's morning here in Italy, and it should be early in the morning to midnight in Seoul, so I haven't slept yet, right?

………………

After a total of 11 days in Italy, I finished shooting all the commercials and finishing all the work, and after seeing the shooting effect of the advertisement, the brand made a few suggestions and made changes, and expressed satisfaction with the final product. Next, they will begin to make all the necessary preparations and preparations for the official opening in September.

After having another meal with pizza, Ji Jingyuan also officially said goodbye to GUCCI and boarded a plane to Seoul with his team.

Speaking of which, this is the first time he has been away from the team for so long when the group is in the return period, not to mention the outside world, he actually feels a little too much.

"Ah......h

Stepping down the boarding ladder, Chi Jingyuan, who was standing on the ground again, stretched out as if relieved, the more than thirteen-hour flight was really torture for him.

"What do you say now? How did the company arrange it? ”

Putting on the mask and hat, Ji Jingyuan looked at Park Jae-hyun, who was carrying a bag next to him, and asked.

The agent has obviously contacted the company, and while pulling the box forward, he said fluently: "It has been arranged over there, go back to the dormitory to put things away, take a rest, and then go to the company for a meeting, hand over the work of GUCCI, and talk about the rest of the itinerary when the time comes." ”

"Let's go......"

Nodding, Chi Jingyuan walked out with a somewhat soft step...... The news of his return to Seoul was not revealed, and at the same time, there seemed to be no general trend of men's and women's groups entering and leaving the airport today, and there were few reporters and fans squatting at this time.

Otherwise, the heat generated after he disappeared a few days ago probably wouldn't have been able to get out so smoothly......

The company was actually not in a hurry, and knew that he was very tired when he flew back, so he was given plenty of rest time, and after Chi Jingyuan returned to the dormitory, there was no one else, he took a shower and slept for a while before returning to the company.

……

Sitting energetically in the conference room of the high-rise, at this time it was not yet the appointed time, and the people had not yet arrived, so in the boredom, Chi Jingyuan simply took out his mobile phone and directly swiped the news to see what interesting news there was in the Peninsula music industry recently.

First of all, the company's new generation of boy group, NCT 127, finally officially debuted on July 7. Unlike NCT U, which has a small team and a limited combination nature in the past few months, NCT 127 is a new generation of large boy group of SM Company.

I heard that the momentum is not bad, and the debut album won the top spot on the iTunes comprehensive album chart in Asia and South America as soon as it was released......

But it's still far from EXO.

And just like EXO was angrily abused by SJ and shinee fans when he debuted, what was the ugliest and most money-losing boy group, and when red velvet debuted, he was attacked by FX and Girls' Generation fans to the fullest, what a four-colored parrot, quickly disbanded.

Inheriting the excellent tradition that SM newcomers will be attacked by senior fans when they debut, the Ellies are very unhappy with this newcomer combination who obviously came to grab the resources of the Oba and want to replace their own Obas, and recently attacked this newcomer boy group on the Internet, all kinds of foul language, appearance attacks can be seen everywhere, with the huge size of Ellie now, it has brought great pressure to this little brother of EXO in the company.

Chi Jingyuan didn't know what to say about it.

All I can say is...... The company's good habits cannot be broken, and every combination is like this, just get used to it.

At the same time, EXO's three-album activity lasted for a month and officially stopped the day before yesterday, this time the title song "monster" swept most of the song industry in this month, both the sales and the results of the music source have been completely broken, and there is basically no group in their return period to compete with them in the song, whether it is the former music source Dawu sister, or Kim Taeyeon who returned with a new album, none of them are opponents.

This kind of coercion is proudly nicknamed the 'big devil' of Kpop by fans.

As of the day before yesterday, "Monster" has won a total of nine places in all three major TV stations in the past month, and the rest depends on whether the follow-up stamina of "Music Bank" can get a few more.

And after EXO ended the event, the current trend in the Peninsula music industry is Gfriend - after they soared to the sky with "Time Lapse" at the beginning of the year, they released the group's first full-length album on the 11th, and the title song "You and Me" was of excellent quality, and immediately became the new favorite in the music industry as soon as it was released.

I don't know if it was specially selected by the brokerage company at this time, just waiting for EXO to release the song after the end of the event, and there are no too strong opponents in the near future, so it directly stopped most of the heat and attention

Previously, relying on the two big hits "Time Lapse" and "cheer up", Gfriend and Twice have obviously formed a competitive trend on the track of the new generation of No. 1 girl groups, and the overall is flat.

And with the momentum of this return, Gfriend is one position ahead of Twice.

The reason why Ji Jingyuan pays more attention to Gfriend's return this time is because the name of their official album this time is eye-catching and very impressive:

It's called "LOL".

In addition, it is a little regrettable that Kim Taeyeon, who released a mini second album at the end of June, did not meet expectations this time, and Ji Kyung-won's opinion was somewhat similar to the original opinion, and a considerable number of fans from "I" could not accept the style of this album, which made the return of this time, especially the evaluation of the title song, somewhat polarized.

Of course, not meeting expectations is compared to herself, compared to last year's "I", if you compare horizontally, Kim Taeyeon's results are still the top among all female solos, and she is completely disconnected except for IU.

These disturbing news didn't make Ji Jingyuan linger for too long, and he soon saw the most heavyweight news: the third brother lay's new TV series "Old Nine Gates" was officially broadcast!

After seeing the news, he nodded expectantly, put down his phone contentedly and started the meeting.

…………

This meeting was mainly about the work of GUCCI and a brief description of the experience in Italy during this time, and now this groundbreaking cooperation has made everyone very happy, and it has been opened into a performance conference.

The atmosphere was very good for more than an hour, and after Ji Jingyuan smiled and talked for a while, he followed his agent Li Chenghuan to his office.

"Hey, Jingyuan, I'm finally back."

Li Chenghuan's eyes narrowed with a smile when he saw Ji Jingyuan, took the initiative to pick up a cup of coffee and handed it to him, patted him on the shoulder closely, and sat on the sofa next to him: "I went to Italy, how do you feel over there?" ”

"It's okay, that is, I visited it two days ago, and I was in a hurry to shoot commercials later." Chi Jingyuan took the coffee and thanked him, and briefly explained his ......

"You don't know, in the past few days since you left, there has been a lot of discussion with fans outside, because you need to keep it secret, and the company doesn't know how to explain it......"

Lee Seung-hwan sighed, obviously bothered by these various speculations from the outside world during this time, but soon laughed again: "But it's okay to come back, as long as you start public activities again, those speculations will soon pass." ”

"We've already arranged your itinerary, because you've just come back, so take a good rest, return to the team in the evening to practice with the children, and start shooting the MV for the title song of the re-release album tomorrow...... The set over there has been reserved for you for a long time, and you are already familiar with the process and progress of the MV, right? ”

"Well, I've seen it before."

Seeing Ji Jingyuan nodded, Lee Seung-hwan smiled and said: "Because the return period of the third series is over, there are not many team activities in the past few days, and recently I have been mainly preparing for concerts, including your third tour and SM Town."

Then there's your personal itinerary, "Idol of a Week" is going to record a 5th anniversary special, and I want to invite all the artists who have been MCs to come back and shoot the special, because you didn't substitute for a few episodes last year, and they have already sent you several invitations.

But because you're in Italy, we don't know the exact time, so we all pushed it off, and they had no choice but to let someone else replace you...... I heard that the recording has not officially started yet, if you are interested, we can also communicate with the program team. ”

"Idol of the Week?" Hearing this, Chi Jingyuan recited the name again.

"Well, the program team is really optimistic about you... I heard that this 5th anniversary special invited several groups to shoot together, which is a big project, and they also invited the EXO group...... However, you also know the company's setting for EXO, so you refused. Lee Seung-hwan added two sentences with a smile.

"......" thought for a few seconds, and Chi Jingyuan shook his head: "Everyone has found a good person, forget it." ”

"Okay... I guess you're too lazy to go. ”

With a smile that didn't matter to him, Li Chenghuan nodded, his expression became a little excited, and he mysteriously sold it: "And then there's good news...... Jingyuan, you have another endorsement? ”

"New endorsements? Which brand? ”

Chi Jingyuan didn't get very excited when he heard it, anyone who has dozens of endorsements and advertisements on his body is like this, this kind of thing is too common for him, if it is not a very high-end brand, he will basically not be too excited.

"Guess!"

Li Chenghuan was still selling Guanzi, and immediately made Ji Jingyuan frown speechlessly and glanced at him: "Brother, why have you become so naïve?" ”

"Haha......" smiled wryly, Lee Seung-hwan stopped playing, got up and took out a document from the cabinet again, and said happily in a general tone: "It's Mercedes-Benz!" Mercedes-Benz, the brand of the car you usually drive, has decided to choose you as the spokesperson for this side of the peninsula, and will officially sign a contract soon. ”

"Mercedes attaches great importance to the endorsement of the new model this time, and the brand asked us to release an advertising song for the sake of publicity...... The company has agreed to this project, and is ready to hand over this project to you, and if it is suitable, it can also be released as the 'subway song' you have scheduled this year...... Haven't you always decided what song to choose for the subway song? ”
