Peninsula Asteroid

"I think we can adopt this model when we come back this time..."

This scene appeared as soon as the sideshow video of the first section started. Chi Jingyuan on the screen had a serious expression, and he was explaining and introducing something to other people around him in a serious tone.

It is estimated that the month of this clip was shot relatively late. Even though the heating may be turned on in the meeting room, everyone in the scene is wearing warm clothes in autumn and winter. Among them, Chi Jingyuan is wearing a black casual jacket and only a part is exposed. The dark jeans looked a little awkward among a group of company elites who mostly wore business attire.

Especially, a little too young.

At the same time, it may be in order not to disclose the situation in the room and the identities of the surrounding staff. Many places in the picture have been mosaiced and blurred. The staff in the room, that is, the faces of Chi Jingyuan and Li Xiuman can be compared. Clear.

"What is this doing?"

Many viewers who watched the beginning didn't react, and didn't understand what it meant.

"Could it be..."

However, many people saw this posture and scene, and after hearing the first sentence, they immediately had some guesses in their hearts.

The following pictures quickly answered their doubts.

"The way we used to release original and re-released albums may work well in normal times, but if it is used for XO's comeback next year, it still feels a little weak...so many things have happened this year, and now the combination We are well aware of the situation, so next year's official album is particularly important. I think we need a comeback plan that is more novel or more grand in terms of form and momentum...

"Everyone please take a look..."

In the video, Chi Jingyuan picked up the remote control and turned on the projector. The PPT that he had made in advance appeared on the screen in the conference room. He walked to the stage, and while operating the PPT, he introduced in detail, Many things become immediately apparent.

"...I think the proposal of returning to their respective double main titles twice in the previous plan is great, but my suggestion is not to adopt the 'original re-release' model, but to split these four main title songs, and then make four as the core. A single album, each single contains two high-quality non-title songs besides the title song..."

"Then publish it in four months, such as 3, 4, 5, June, or 5, 6, 7, and 8 months, release on the same day every month and carry out song making activities..."

"...I also have an idea for the album name, and I named it after the official fan name of our XO, so "EXO-L" is the last official second album, and the four letters are exactly four single albums, "E ", "X", "O", "L", this can be regarded as a kind of gratitude to fans for supporting us, idols and fans are one, I believe many fans will be very happy after seeing it..."

Speaking of this, Chi Jingyuan standing in front of the meeting room paused for a moment, then glanced back at the large projection screen at the back, his eyes stayed on the words "EXO-L" clearly written in black font on it, and sipped He pursed his lips, and there was a smile in his godly eyes, which seemed to contain some expectations.

"We're... really happy."

Seeing this place, countless Ailis immediately replied silently in their hearts. They looked at Chi Jingyuan who was dressed in dark casual clothes on the screen, and Chi Jingyuan was slightly blurred in the slightly dim light, but they only felt that the idol at this time The whole body is glowing, making every part of their bodies warm while bathing in it.

It turns out that this album title, which is regarded as a masterpiece by all fans, who think SM finally has a conscience, was proposed by him...

There were even some fanatical fans who were more sensitive in heart and couldn't hold back their tears directly.

And some passers-by, and even people in the circle who are watching this sideshow video, focused on what Chi Jingyuan said, and watched him in amazement as he was lecturing on it, introducing it to a group of SM company elites. Thinking about my own thoughts, I always felt that this scene looked a little funny: "After a long time, the comeback mode of EXO this year was really proposed by Yuan? That's right, every member of him can decide the comeback of his own group Planning?"

"Could it be for hype and posing for a photo? It feels a bit exaggerated..."

"EXO is so popular and hot now, do you still need to hype it? And SM will pose for you, and let Li Xiuman and several directors and representatives of these company executives gather together to pose for you? Can you speak with a little brain? Is it so difficult to admit that Yuan is amazing?"

"Is this the one who came up with the plan and made the PPT himself? Is he an idol or a producer? He's really amazing."

"Didn't you check the list? Yuan Ouba is one of the producers of XO's official second album this time, and he is responsible for several songs in it."

Because of the popularity of XO and the great success of this album, the popularity of the album today is not the same as last year. After uploading these behind-the-scenes videos to the official Youtube account in the morning, besides fans, it also attracted a large number of ordinary viewers. Come and watch.

"...I think "call me baby" is more suitable as the first title song than "EXODUS", regardless of style or popularity."

"...The planning proposal of the previous promotional video is quite good. Choose ten cities or regions in the world, and the initials will just connect to the name of the song..."

In the first few scenes of the album planning meeting, many people saw it for the first time, including the return mode, discussing themes, and even the discussion of song selection and promotional videos. Some scenes involving Chi Jingyuan and other members were edited into it. , although not many, just a few sporadic shots, but it made many viewers feel very novel.

Because it is the first time for many people to see this kind of idol album and the behind-the-scenes production of the comeback, most companies will not make these things public. Even SM still added a lot of mosaics this time, and at the same time There are a lot of clips, and some key things are not included.

But it still makes most people watch with gusto.

Some passers-by who have only heard the name of EXO, but did not pay much attention and understanding, watched the beginning of this tidbit, and they couldn’t help but feel a sense of admiration in their hearts. They always feel that this boy group and this member look real. very special.

This time EXO’s sideshow album is very long, from the project’s return to the preparation of the four single albums, and then to the release of the official second album, from the company’s high-level meeting where Chi Jingyuan gave a speech, to the choreography and practice of the songs, and then I went to the scene to shoot, and many of the scenes and shots that EXO didn't care about were all faithfully recorded by the VJ who followed the shoot.

And it's not all positive, it also includes some negative and frustrating fragments.

"Call me baby call me baby."

"Call me baby call me baby..."

At this time, the video entered the next P, and one could tell from the screen that it was in EXO's practice room. The accompaniment of "call me baby" was turned off by the manager before it officially ended, and the lingering music was harsh and abrupt end.

"... Are you unable to dance the last crab step well? The most important Ending action and kill part in the whole choreography is still not neatly danced until now..."

"I really..."

"Suho, and Baekhyun, see for yourself how you dance, the MV is about to be filmed and it's still at this level, I..."

The members who had just finished a dance practice stood on the spot panting, some lowered their heads, some pinched their waists, silently listening to the angry criticism from their managers and dance teachers. Although there are many people in the practice room in the picture, But it seemed extraordinarily quiet, only the sound of stern and hateful lectures could be heard, and the dignified atmosphere could be felt through the screen.

In order to be able to play these clips, among the words of the manager and the teacher, some words with dirty words, words that were too harsh and inappropriate for fans to hear were all silenced.

Otherwise, it will be controversial after many fans see it.

But even if these are played out, people can still feel a heavy sense of pressure.

"Do you know the current situation of the group...Forget it, let's go to eat first." The manager calmed down after getting angry, and walked out of the practice room with the teacher after a little helpless and anxious last sentence.

The lower left corner of the screen also gave the date in real time, January 1, 2015.

When many fans saw this date, they couldn't help but feel a little nervous. They all knew that this was the time and what was going on with EXO.

This is the time when the entire group changed from 12 members to 9 members and announced a new start. It was in a precarious situation, the future was bleak, and the outside world was looking down on it.

Everyone knows how important this official second album is to them, including EXO of course.

The practice room in the video fell into silence, but the frozen atmosphere didn't last long. After a while, the others left to eat. After all, they were too hungry and exhausted after practicing for so long.

It's just that Jin Junmian and Bian Boxian, whose names were called just now, didn't go together. They stayed alone in the practice room. After a few minutes of silence, they stood up and started to practice again.

Then the video began to be double-speed processed, and what happened afterwards was displayed in front of the audience at dozens of times the speed.

In the practice room, the two repeated the crab steps in the last part of "call me baby" over and over again, walking from left to right in the practice room, facing the floor-to-ceiling mirror and constantly correcting their movements.

Half an hour later, Chi Jingyuan and Wu Shixun came back with food for them. After a short bite, the few of them continued to practice together without resting.

After the other members came back, they saw the brightly lit practice room and the repeated "Call me baby" music and didn't say anything else. They just took a look and joined in silently.

In the video, the practice team changed from two people to four people, then to seven people, and then changed back to nine people after a while.

Under the acceleration of dozens of times, everyone can only see the picture of EXO in the video endlessly repeating this dance and practicing the last part of the crab step.

At the same time, the time marked in the upper right corner is constantly changing, from 18:00, to 20:00, to 22:00, 0:00, 2:00...

The continuous and repeated practice looks like a replay, but the time displayed in the upper right corner reminds everyone that this is not the case.

This episode really shocked the audience, as well as a lot of inexplicable emotions.

Not only were the fans moved and distressed when they saw this kind of scene of abusing fans, some passers-by couldn't help but sigh in their hearts after seeing it. No one's success is achieved overnight. Idols look very beautiful in front of the camera, but behind the scenes they put in a lot of effort. The sweat is indeed real.

However, in the peninsula music industry, hard work is the least worth mentioning. If you want to succeed, this is just the most basic quality.

"...Anihasaya, this is Chanyeol. We are currently filming the MV for "Call Me Baby". I have just finished styling, and now I will take you around the location where we shot today. We need to use several A luxury chartered car, look over there, wow, he’s really handsome... Sitting on the sofa over there is Jingyuan, he was the first to finish styling, let’s go say hello... Shh, he looks like Already asleep, let’s keep it down a little… Well, the members are really tired during this period and haven’t had much rest…”

In the picture, Park Chanyeol, who was yelling and filming the behind-the-scenes, lowered his voice at the right time. After approaching, he took a camera and took a small picture of Chi Jingyuan. He was sitting on the sofa with his legs natural. He spread out, clasped his hands in front of him, lowered his head and closed his eyes, already falling asleep.

The tightly closed eyes, the smooth contours of the cheeks and bridge of the nose, the long and soft breathing, combined with the freshly made smoky gray hairstyle, formed an elegant and beautiful leisurely picture, which is eye-catching.

"Ah, he's so handsome!"

"Looking at his expression, he looked very tired. He fell asleep as soon as he sat down at the filming location. I really feel for Oppa."

When a certain young lady saw this scene, she felt a little distressed but at the same time reflexively clicked on the screenshot, carefully took a few pictures, and after watching the highlights, she started to P.P.

There are a lot of behind-the-scenes footage of the first single album "E", starting from dance practice, to shooting pictorials and MVs, and then to traveling to countries all over the world to shoot the 'movie-level' trailer that fans have shown off and others lamented SM's wealth. , the most important one, and the preparation for the album that kicks off EXO’s ascent to the top this year, is unfolding in front of all the audience.

Through these intensive preparations, professional album production, and the efforts and cooperation of all members, many people seem to understand why EXO’s regular second album this year will be so strong and dazzling without even realizing it. of light.

"Wait for me right there."

"Wait for me there."

Entering the next page, the screen appeared in a room similar to a music room. A group of people were holding a monitor and watching carefully. Through the BGM accompaniment, many people knew it was "Spring Day" when they heard it.

"...Jingyuan, what do you think?" After asking the opinions of the surrounding people, Li Xiuman, the only two people who showed their faces, looked at Chi Jingyuan and asked.

"I think……"

Chi Jingyuan frowned slightly, looked at the monitor that had just played the MV several times, pondered for a few seconds and then said:

"...The ending at the station was a bit abrupt. It should be the last part when everyone should get off the train. The nine members were in the early spring day, in an empty and desolate place, but were warmly warmed by the rising sun. Walking in the bright wilderness that envelopes you, strolling wantonly, and then the camera gradually zooms up to aerial photography, and finally freezes. While suggesting a summary of past youth, it can also express some hopes and longings for the future. …”

"... Such a scene should be shot later and edited into it. This is my first reaction and most true thought after watching this version of the MV."

Although Chi Jingyuan, who was being watched by everyone, looked very young, at this time he had a serious face and did not have the usual smile. His serious and serious expression seemed to make people ignore his appearance and age. It sounds very convincing.

This kind of occasion and this kind of performance formed a great contrast with the idol's appearance in front of the camera in the past, but it made people feel the charm of another side of him.

The scene ended with Lee Soo Man nodding slowly as if thinking. The camera turned and the scene appeared on the nanny car that was driving. At this moment, Baekhyun was holding a small video camera, asking and answering questions about the photographer.

"Ah, Anihasay, good morning everyone... We are sitting in the nanny car now, what are we going to do next?"

"That's right, we're going to reshoot the MV later...ah!" At this point, he couldn't help shouting and complained to the camera: "Because we need to use snow scenes, so originally The MV was actually shot a long time ago, but at midnight last night, the manager suddenly informed us that we would have to reshoot today, and we got up before three o'clock..."

"Why did it happen so suddenly..." Bian Baekhyun became a little hysterical as he spoke, and roared twice in a low voice to vent his anger.

At the edge of the screen, Chi Jingyuan, who was sitting against the window, seemed to have a twitching corner of his mouth and turned to look out the window.

"Do you think Yuan is suppressing a smile?"

His little move did not evade the astonishingly observant viewers and fans, and soon the comment area below began to have a lively discussion:

"I was just holding back my laughter, Yuan almost couldn't hold it back... The other members of the relationship didn't know that the re-shooting of the MV was proposed by Yuan? Being complained in front of others, I laughed so hard."

"But it turns out that the MV of "Spring Day" didn't have the last part at the beginning? Although many people are saying that the MV of "Spring Day" is very well shot, but I feel that in the last part, all the members get out of the car and walk in the wilderness. The most classic part is the part where we bask in the sun and walk away together with a smile, all the emotions before have been released, which completely sublimated the whole MV’s feelings, and every time I watch it, I feel particularly healed.”

"Indeed, although the previous shots were beautiful, the emotional expression was not enough. The last few shots really released the previous emotions. I have watched the MV of "Spring Day" dozens of times. It will still be very moving to watch...I really didn't expect Chi Jingyuan to suggest adding it?"

"I can only say that without the last paragraph, the reputation of "Spring Day", especially the evaluation of the MV, would definitely not be as good as it is now."

For this section, both fans and passers-by are very enthusiastic about the discussion. The episodes and processes behind the production of these albums make everyone feel extremely interesting.

It turns out that the MV of "Spring Day" didn't have the last scene at the beginning?

It turns out that Chi Jingyuan proposed to make up the last amazing shot of the last MV, and even the shooting process was designed by him?

While satisfying the audience's thirst for knowledge and prying eyes, these little secrets can't help feeling that there is really no other male idol who can do his job.
