Because there was a performance the next day, after discussing it, Park Jin-young did not prepare a dinner, but directly asked all the artists to go back to their homes and rest early to prepare for tomorrow's performance.

Twice's nanny car back to the dormitory looked very lively, this is the first time they have participated in such a large-scale concert since their debut, they have been preparing for so long before, and they have finally reaped the results today, remembering the feeling of just receiving cheers from tens of thousands of fans on stage, many members can't help but chatter.

But there is also a discordant atmosphere in the harmonious atmosphere.,Mingjing Nan, who was sitting by the window in the middle, didn't talk much.,Occasionally glance behind with casual eyes.

And Zhou Ziyu, who was sitting in the middle in the back row, was even more silent, holding the mobile phone but not looking, either lowering his head, or looking out of the window, and in the middle, while others were not paying attention, he glanced at a certain Ernie in front of him with an unkind eye.

However, the members who were busy in front of them didn't notice the weirdness in the back, only Kim Daxian, who was sitting next to Zhou Ziyu, seemed to have noticed something wrong with his roommate, and he had already looked sideways several times in just a few minutes.

She opened her mouth as if she wanted to ask something, but she seemed to feel that something was wrong.

After a while, the nanny car stopped in front of the red light, and at the same time, Zhou Ziyu had no effect in her hand, and the mobile phone in her hand suddenly lit up like a brick, and she reacted and picked it up to take a look, and couldn't help frowning.

Then he held it in his hand, and his fingers clicked a few times but did not press on the screen, as if he was hesitating how to reply.

"It's ......"

Kim Dahyun didn't know what the situation was just now, but this time she saw it...... Because he'd seen this kind of thing several times before...... Finally, he came over and asked Zhou Ziyu in a very small voice: "Seyon Oba is going to introduce you to your predecessors again?" ”

It's different when someone is popular, there weren't so many people who didn't have it when they first debuted, and there weren't so many people who wanted to know them, and the company's predecessors were not salty to them.

But this kind of similar thing is different after Twcie became popular this year, as if they suddenly became beautiful, their popularity became better, and there were more people who wanted to know them.

Some of the members are the most popular, including Zhou Ziyu.

Zhou Ziyu looked at the text message she received but didn't think about it, her mind was still left before, and now she seemed a little irritable, she didn't make a sound when she heard Kim Daxian's words, she just nodded silently:

“……”

……

At the same time, Chi Jingyuan was eating with the second brother in the club they had set, laughing and chatting with a few friends introduced to him by the second brother.

This group of people has no arrogance at all in front of Chi Jingyuan, on the contrary, they seem to be very interested in idols and the entertainment industry, and they have been asking some related gossip and questions, looking at their expressions, it seems that they want to find a boy group to join and debut tomorrow.

Halfway through speaking, the mobile phone that Chi Jingyuan put aside suddenly shook, he didn't bother to care, he just glanced at it casually, and after seeing the sender, he was stunned for a moment, and then quickly picked up the phone and looked at it.

It was actually sent by Bae Joo-hyun.

"Taeyeononi called me out tomorrow...... You can't ask her, right? ”

There has been no contact for a long time, and the young lady's tone seems a little rusty...... But the taste is still the same taste, and Chi Jingyuan can roughly guess what she is worried about and entangled in her heart at a glance.

Looking at the words on the screen, Chi Jingyuan seemed to be able to think of her hesitation with her phone.

He chuckled and typed quickly:

"You know me so well, don't you think?"

There seems to be some hesitation over there, or it may be that he hasn't sent a text message to his man for a long time, and the reply is a little slow: "...... I do not know. ”

"I really don't know?"

“…… Probably not. ”

I have to say that the young lady really knows Chi Jingyuan very well and knows that he will not find someone to be a lobbyist...... But thinking of the reason and experience of her closeness and familiarity with Kim Taeyeon, she felt a little dignified in her heart.

"You're Irene, be confident...... "Do you know how Taeyeonuna reacted when she learned something about us?" Chi Jingyuan coped with the ridicule of the second brother, stopped eating for a while, and sat there with his mobile phone to initiate a message.

"What?" Obviously, Bae Joo-hyun is still very curious.

She scolded me severely, the scolding was so ugly, and now she doesn't pay much attention to me, and occasionally she looks disgusted...... Obviously, I have such a close relationship with her. ”

There was no movement after this message was sent, and Ji Jingyuan thought that Bae Joo-hyun was silent again and didn't want to speak, so he sighed in his heart after waiting for a while, and put down his phone to end this long-lost short contact.

However, after a long while, the phone finally received a reply and lit up again, with only two short and crisp words:

"Well deserved!"

Although the tone is not very good, and there is a sense of depressing relief, it is better to have a reply than silence...... Ji Jingyuan looked at the concise and clear text message and shook his head.

You're pretty, you're right!

…………

Early the next morning, a group of people wearing ball caps, wearing work badges, and holding long guns and short guns and camera equipment poured into SM's new building in Cheongdam-dong, and after communicating with EXO's agent, they entered their dedicated practice room, began to set up various camera positions, and began to communicate the filming process of today's show.

This group of people is from the staff of MBC TV's "Infinite Challenge" program team, and they are here today to officially open the most important special feature of "Infinite Challenge", the filming of Yoo Jae-seok &EXO's collaborative project.

This special comes from the "A Letter" special of "Infinite Challenge" at the beginning of the year, in which a group of MCs put "the challenge that I must want to do this year" into the mailbox, in which Hwang Kwang-hee gave Yoo Jae-seok the task of "I must complete the stage cooperation with EXO in 2016." ’

After this episode was broadcast, it caused a huge response among fans, but it was just a letter for the effect of the show, and the news had attracted countless eyeballs and heat before the official confirmation was made, and the program team and SM also hit it off and agreed on a follow-up cooperation plan.

…… In fact, before the "A Letter" special was played, SM and the program team and Yoo Jae-seok already had the intention of cooperating, otherwise the scene where the task was given would not have been played.

After discussion, the specific cooperation plan has been decided, in short, EXO and Yoo Jae-seok will collaborate on a new song, and they will perform together on the official stage at EXO's concert in Thailand in September.

In other words, it's not just a casual mess. Singing a song or something like that, Yoo Jae-seok wants to really join the EXO team, become a member of it, practice the dance of the new song together, and perform together on the real stage.

You must know that it takes a lot of time and sweat to practice a dance music from learning to practicing and then to going on stage, which is true for an idol, let alone a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties, and there is also a recording in the middle, so this cooperation is not the nature of playing tickets for Liu Zaishi and the "Infinite Challenge" program team, on the contrary, it is very serious, and it is treated as the most important project in the second half of the year.

At the same time, this song will be filmed and recorded as the 32nd song of SM's 'Station Project' this year.

And "Infinite Challenge" will also make a special feature for this purpose, and will track and shoot all their preparations for a long time, starting from learning dance, to dance practice, rehearsal, and formal performance, all the processes will be filmed, and finally form this "EXO & Liu Jae-seok Dancingking" special.

The important thing is that after negotiation, all proceeds generated by the song will be donated to help charity.

In this era when Kpop has always liked to talk big and give out some exaggerated and eye-catching titles, in this atmosphere where anyone can say that they are 'the best, the highest, and the most powerful', this collaboration between EXO and Yoo Jae-seok is a real and well-deserved 'special collaboration'.

It can be said that this is a truly infinitely topical cooperation song, which has been noisy from the beginning of the year to the middle of the year, and there are fans and show viewers who continue to mention this matter in the middle, without the company's hype, and the topic and popularity have never disappeared.

Since the beginning of the year, countless fans have been looking forward to it, and today it is finally time to start this project.

The camera turned on, and Yoo Jae-seok was dressed as usual as an MC, carrying a water glass and walking around EXO's practice room, looking not relaxed and a little anxious.

The first episode of the show will be filmed in a while, and the first meeting of the collaborators on both sides will be filmed.

"You seem to be nervous." At this time, a voiceover is heard.

"Of course."

Liu Zaishi, who was walking around, seemed to have suddenly found an outlet, and immediately looked at the camera, with a look of course: "This is XO, XO!" ”

He kept waving his hands and his expression exaggerated, as if he wanted to show what status EXO is in the music industry now...... If it is a formal broadcast, it is estimated that a VCR will be inserted here, using various pompous tones and words to describe some of XO's achievements.

"Of course we know EXO." The voiceover is very calm: "Is it the first time to work with XO?" ”

“…… Well, that's not either. ”

Hearing this, Liu Zaishi was stuck, and then snorted: "I've done shows together before......"

As he spoke, he made a look of reminiscence, squinting slightly and full of enjoyment: "And I only participated in the song festival with Yuan last year, I felt very happy at the time, and today I am going to cooperate again this time, really, tsk......"

"But you and Yuan xi weren't in the same group as last year's Song Festival." But the voiceover unceremoniously and directly debunked him, and without waiting for Liu Zaishi to refute, he then poked him again:

"Their group's "House Tower House" also defeated you and Park Jin-young's "So Seny" in the final vote"

"Hmm...... Ahaha......"

Liu Zaishi, who originally wanted to climb the relationship, was speechless for a while, and laughed a little embarrassed.

At this time, the door of the practice room was opened, and the members of EXO rushed in, many of them looked lazy and lazy, as if they had just gotten up for a short time, and some of them didn't even wear makeup, and came directly wearing private clothes and hats.

But there are also some people who have fluffy hair and delicate eyeliner, showing their scheming.

"Anihassaiyo ......"

The eight members shook hands with Yoo Jae-seok in turn and greeted him, and soon a group of people sat down on a row of chairs and began the first meeting and introduction.

"Kai xi, is this hurt?" As soon as he took his seat after greeting, Liu Zaishi looked at Kim Jong-in, who had just walked in with a cane and was still wearing a plaster cast on his legs, and asked with concern.

"Inside, I was injured at the concert before." Kim Jong-in looked at his feet and nodded.

"Will you be able to catch up with this song?"

Kim Jong-in smiled bitterly: "I don't know yet, let's see the recovery situation...... No, I will participate in the whole process, and strive to stand on the stage with my brother. ”

"Be sure to take a break...... Oh yes, 1,2,3,4......"

Liu Zaishi looked up and circled as if he was counting, and after counting a circle, he found that there were only eight EXO people present, and after thinking for a long time, he found that someone did not come: "Why didn't Yuan xi come?"

He looked at it for a long time, but he didn't see the most familiar Chi Jingyuan.

"Oh, Yuan, he has something to do today, and he went to the crew for a meeting." When he asked, Jin Junmian hurriedly smiled and explained the reason.

As soon as he heard this, Liu Zaishi immediately understood, and sighed with envy: "Hey, I'm already a successful actor." ”

"Hehehe......" The group of EXO people echoed and laughed, looking like the atmosphere was excellent.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Zaishi asked worriedly: "But aren't we going to learn dance later?" If Yuan Xi doesn't follow us, doesn't it matter if the progress is made? ”

"Don't worry, brother." Jin Junmian smiled and waved his hand:

"He'll work overtime on his own at night."

……

At this time, in the large conference room belonging to the crew of "Ghost" in the tvN building, several main actors and agents of the crew were all seated, and the main creative staff were also present.

Today, the crew of "Ghost" held a meeting, so that the actors who have signed contracts and confirmed to appear come here to meet and get to know each other, and then began to announce the formation progress and shooting plan of the crew in the future.

And Ji Jingyuan sat at the top of the left side of the conference table, and Pei Xiuzhi, who was sitting next to him, exchanged glances.

This woman looks exceptionally innocent in a plain dress, and the director was also very serious when he spoke just now.

From Chi Jingyuan's point of view, you can see that the script in her hand is full of traces of writing and drawing, and all kinds of annotations she made herself have covered the entire page, and the original hard paper script has been turned a little soft by her.

It can be seen that she really attaches great importance to her role this time, and her attitude is extremely correct.

As far as Chi Jingyuan knows, after Pei Xiuzhi was officially confirmed to star, he has indeed been studying his script very seriously recently and has put a lot of effort into it.

The ratings of the tenth episode of "Arbitrary Attachment", which aired at the same time, have dropped to 8 percent, and all kinds of bad reviews and dissatisfaction have filled all the places where the discussion about this TV series has been filled, and this previously highly anticipated TV series released simultaneously in China and South Korea can already be declared a failure.

The resources of the Peninsula film and television circle are very tight and sought-after, and the failure of any work as the main coffee will have a great impact on the actors, directors, and writers.

Of course, there are some exceptions.

The loss of "Arbitrary Attachment" this time has a really big impact on Pei Xiuzhi, and even if he hadn't won the role at the right time, if he came back according to the current situation, it would be difficult to have Chi Jingyuan's help......

So this opportunity is extremely important for her...... I wonder if there is a reason why I didn't even attend a family concert like JYP Nation...... She also seems to know that her acting skills are still a little weak, and during this time, she can be said to be studying the script wholeheartedly, and even the frequency of finding Ji Jingyuan to flirt has become a lot lower.

It was only when she turned her head and handed over a very amorous sultry look just now when no one was paying attention that a trace of her hidden nature was revealed.

Ji Jingyuan ignored her and turned his head to look at the other side, where several other leading actors of the crew were sitting.

Li Yingfu has just announced that preparations for "Ghost" have begun and will be officially completed at the end of the month, and the time for everyone to join the group for filming is also placed in the days from the end of August to the beginning of September.

And now, most of the roles have been determined, the second male lead, Wang Li, who has many rival scenes with Ji Jingyuan in the play, is played by Li Dongxu.

This brother has deep qualifications as an actor, he debuted as an actor in 99, and once became one of the K-pop stars with the drama "My Girl", and he was still very popular at the beginning.

It's just that there have been no too popular works in the follow-up, and in recent years, there has been a significant downward trend in his career, and he even does not hesitate to be a mysterious actor, and has participated in many fixed variety shows, and the most recent TV series was "Bubble Gum" with tvN last year, with an average rating of almost 1%, which can only be said to be unpopular.

It seems that a lot of effort has been put into the competition for the role of "Ghost" this time, Ji Jingyuan heard that his agency and he have been active for a long time some time ago, and finally he was selected because he was more suitable for the role, and he seemed to be very serious about the tasks of the crew just now, and obviously regarded this drama as an important reliance on becoming popular.

This brother was born in 81 and debuted in 99, when he debuted as an actor, Chi Jingyuan was still in elementary school, and the two of them were not from the same era, plus he didn't seem to like talking very much, although he greeted politely, but Chi Jingyuan didn't communicate much with him.

However, there is one thing that is very interesting, after the two leading actors were confirmed, the crew found that the character image of Wang Li played by Lee Dong Wook was somewhat similar to Ji Jingyuan's Jin Yu...... Li Dongxu's brother has done a really good job of maintenance, although he is more than one round older than Ji Jingyuan, and he is the same post-80s generation as Girls' Generation, but he looks about thirty years old after makeup, and he is somewhat similar when he stands with Ji Jingyuan in the play, and he can't show the image characteristics of the character.

After discussion, it was decided to arrange the 'uncle' setting of the original protagonist on Wang Li's body, and increase the appearance design of the character in the play by five to ten years, so that he can play in his true colors, so that the uncle can really play the uncle.

The second female is Liu Renna, who is also a very famous actress, and she is also older than Chi Jingyuan for more than one round...... However, one 81 and one 82 are quite compatible with Li Dongxu.

Ji Jingyuan and this sister have never cooperated, so they are not very familiar...... However, I heard that this sister has a good relationship with Li Zhien, and Li Zhien likes to introduce friends.

Among the actors, Lu Xingcai, the actor of the male supporting actor Liu Dehua, is the most familiar with Chi Jingyuan among all people, the two are both from the boy group idols, and they debuted at about the same time, they have met many times in various venues and activities over the years, and have had a lot of exchanges.

He also participated in "We Are Married" with Park so-young before, and Bae Joo-hyun talked to Ji Kyung-won many times......

"The actors will be gradually announced tomorrow." Saying that, Li Yingfu looked at Pei Xiuzhi: "The heroine Xiuzhi Xi will be the first to be revealed." ”

In addition to the meeting today, there is also an important thing to discuss with the actor's economic company about the casting of the role, and cooperate with the publicity and warm-up.

In addition to Chi Jingyuan, he was the first to make it public.

Today was just a meeting, and the formal script reading meeting would be held before joining the group, so it didn't take too much time, and by the time it was close to noon, it was almost done, and the actors got up to say goodbye.

Pei Xiuzhi gave Ji Jingyuan a look, and then left with his agent first, but after everyone else left, Ji Jingyuan stayed.

"Jingyuan, we've already heard the demo you sent me."

Kim Eun-sook lowered her eyes, looked at the man in front of her with an appreciative expression, and couldn't help but nod her head when she listened to the song before it sounded: "It's really good, this prelude is really great, I already liked this song as soon as it sounded, and Director Lee Yingfu They also think it is very good, which is very in line with the atmosphere of the script." ”

Such a straightforward compliment made Ji Jingyuan laugh, and there was a faint sense of pride in his heart, the prelude to this OST was a highlight in the whole song, and it was also a place where he was very confident.

As for the demo, he recorded it himself after he went back yesterday, and it was his voice the whole time.

"It's just that I have a strong sense of anticipation after hearing the prelude, but after the follow-up voice comes out, I feel ......"

Kim Eun-sook said, but suddenly changed her tone, and after a little hesitation, said tentatively: "I just think it's a little, well, not very suitable...... Jingyuan: Do you think it would be better if you changed to a female voice? ”
