Chapter 394 If you don’t want to say it, forget it

The warm touch disappeared quickly. After bowing deeply and standing up, everyone naturally let go of their holding hands. After the warmth in the hands suddenly disappeared, Pei Zhuxuan stretched out his left hand and put it in front of him to make a fist. The surroundings were obviously very...

There was a lot of excitement and screams and cheers, but there was a strange feeling of sadness in my heart.

Just looking out of the corner of his eye, he saw Chi Jingyuan showing no nostalgia, smiling and waving. Pei Zhuxuan hummed in her heart and forcefully suppressed those feelings, imitating the other person's behavior and acting as if nothing had happened.

He laughed out loud and turned to say his final goodbyes to the audience.

After the show, the performance officially ended. The artists walked off the stage and rushed to the backcourt. Dozens of people crowded together. In the crowded flow of people, Chi Jingyuan and Bae Zhuhyun happened to walk together.

"Are you guys still resting in the hotel later?" he asked casually, turning his head and looking over. The first thing that caught his eye was the thin beads of sweat under the blond hair on Pei Zhuhyun's forehead. There was some dazzling incandescence in the backcourt.

It is particularly conspicuous under lighting.

"Well, I guess we will go out to have a meal together later, and then go back to the hotel." Pei Zhuxuan nodded, raised his head, blinked, and looked at him with a smile: "What about you?"

Red Velvet has only debuted for six or seven months now. It is still relatively strict as a newcomer. If you want to be as free as other seniors in the company, you will have to wait at least two or three years.

"They might go out to play for a while, probably at a club or something." Chi Jingyuan glanced at Park Chanyeol and the others who were chatting happily not far away, boldly guessed the content of their conversation, and then took out his mobile phone.

Checking the time: "But I already went out to eat local food yesterday, and I might just rest in the hotel room tonight."

Pei Zhuxuan nodded, and the two of them followed the crowd, talking quietly.

Just as Chi Jingyuan expected, just after returning to the hotel after the concert, several members of XO talked to their manager and then went out to play together. Judging from their high spirits, they must have had fun beforehand.

I don’t know where I found out the destination.

By the way, can they understand other people's speech, just relying on Admiralty's half-baked Chinese?

This was his most intuitive feeling after watching the MV three times.

It is said to be a small reshoot, but in fact, in order to make the final effect better, they shot for several hours continuously, including close-up close-ups of the members, and shot many sets of shots in different light and time periods from various angles, among which

As for the aerial shots mentioned by Chi Jingyuan, the company also specially used drones to shoot. For the final effect, it can be said that all aspects were done quite well.

"..."

Early the next morning, all the artists who had no local activities took the bus to Taoyuan Airport and chartered a flight back to the peninsula. After landing in Seoul, they went back to the company to refresh themselves and then separated. Several other members of EXO went to run their schedules, while Chi Jingyuan was

Called into the company's small conference room.

"Is it possible that the data of our MV is also damaged?"

I say it's a complaint because many people in EXO had a lot of complaints about the filming process of the MV for the song "Spring Day", which left a very bad impression.

Unlike the almost pure dance version of the "Call Me Baby" MV, which was shot purely indoors, the MV for "Spring Day" is much more complicated. It took a lot of trouble to go to many places for filming, such as the abandoned swimming pool of Seoul National University.

, Seoul Forest Park, Dongjak Bridge, Dongha Bridge and other places.

Several snoring sounds came from the back seat. Chi Jingyuan turned around and glanced. Kim Jong-in was the loudest, and Byun Baek-hyun and Kim Jun-myeon, who were sleeping in their seats, were almost close together.

At this time, the phone finally vibrated:

"...Then what characteristics do you think I have?"

After research and consideration, finally with Lee Soo Man's approval, Ji Kyung Won's opinion was adopted as the main body, and the emotion mainly reflected in the song's MV was determined to be the theme of expressing youth, which is exactly in line with EXO's comeback this time.

style and concept.

After seeing it, Chi Jingyuan immediately cursed in his heart, casually typed "nonsense" and sent it before closing his eyes.

"snore……"

Zhou Ziyu, who may not have known that she had just been scolded, sounded innocent and anxious to explain.

"Card."

After reading the question silently twice, he thought for a while and then tapped the screen and started typing: "Is it your president's question? I think it is to show your stardom."

In the small conference room, several producers of EXO's album and staff from the company's record and publicity departments were all present. They were all looking attentively at the high-definition screen connected to their laptops, which was playing the "Spring Day" MV.

When the sun gradually rose, the PD finally announced the completion of the reshoot. Everyone on the scene breathed a sigh of relief. After thanking the staff repeatedly, the EXO members first went to change clothes, and then got into the nanny van to return to Seoul.

"After I said it, I missed you even more..."

"Wait for me right there."

So even though the MV does not include any dancing scenes, many members still felt that it was much more tiring than filming "Call Me Baby", because it was cold and tiring.

Zhou Ziyu didn't reply quickly after this time, and he didn't know whether he was thinking about what he just said or was delayed by something. Chi Jingyuan, who gradually woke up, looked out the window a few times, looking at the highway.

The fences on both sides flashed past in my eyes and kept moving backwards. The fields in the distance went back and forth, and I felt a little the same every time I looked at them.

"I have already asked for leave from school in order to participate in "Sixteen", and I have already discussed with my mother that I will take a break from school and wait for the show to end before resuming classes. She will come to Seoul in a few days to help me go through the procedures."

"If you don't want to say it, forget it! (angry)"

But speaking of Zhou Ziyu’s characteristics...

"Hey Yigu, why do you suddenly need to reshoot the MV scenes? Wasn't "Spring Day" finished a long time ago?"

"Jingyuan is the producer, so you should know."

"..."

But after watching the finished product, Chi Jingyuan discovered a problem: "The MV of our song mainly talks about the passing of youth. It reflects the growth and maturity of a person while remembering the past. But after watching it,

I feel that the final ending of this version of the MV feels a bit abrupt, the arrival of 'spring' and the hopeful flavor are not reflected, and some of the feelings held in my chest are not sublimated and cannot be expressed."

Others looked at the monitor thoughtfully and seemed to be thinking about it, some nodded in agreement, and some frowned.

Great harvest!

"OK, done!"

Chi Jingyuan briefly organized his words, glanced at the paused big screen, pursed his lips and said: "I feel that the ending was a little rushed, and its role in the important sublimation of emotions was slightly weaker.

"

"There are many things about stardom, such as good appearance, cheerful and lovable personality, being generous and not having stage fright, and even being good at singing or feeling good at dancing should all be considered."

Maybe it's because they woke up too early today and didn't get enough rest. Most of the members were closing their eyes to rest or catching up on sleep. No one was talking quietly along the way.

"If it were you, what would you perform?" Zhou Ziyu asked curiously.

Chi Jingyuan nodded, maybe because he didn't have a good rest, his voice was a little hoarse.

The MV for the song "Spring Day" required a lot of snowy scenes to serve as the background, so the shooting was completed in early February. Some of the shots were even collected and shot when the company had heavy snow in January, but the focus of the previous actions was

It has always been focused on "Call Me Baby". The main focus of the first single is naturally more important, so some related work has been pushed back. After the finished product of the MV was completed yesterday, as the chief producer

Li Xiuman immediately held a discussion meeting.

Some people think that this is a song written to an ex, a sad emotional song, which should express the reluctance and attachment to the past relationship. Some people think that it is about the departure and growth of youth, and needs to express some sadness.

emotions, but in the end they have to return to positivity, expectation and gratitude.

Because this song describes a 'spring day', although the clothing during the MV shooting included warmer clothing such as turtleneck sweaters, the clothing was generally a bit thin, and some members even wore long-sleeved shorts.

Match.

EXO shot a lot of scenes of railroad tracks and trains here, which is considered one of the most important filming locations.

He was involved in the entire process of the "Spring" MV from planning to filming, and also provided a lot of opinions.

Because of its lyrical characteristics and being somewhat vague, without specifying the suggestive lyrics, many people who hear this song will have different feelings and understandings. Therefore, the main emotional focus to be expressed and reflected in the MV was originally

It also went through a lot of discussions.

…………

"This is the title of the first episode of our program, what do you think it means?"

But when he was about to put the phone back, it vibrated twice in a row.

The other one is Yangju Ilyoung Station, which is a train station located in YZ City, Gyeonggi Province, on the outskirts of Seoul. However, its mission as a passenger station has been abandoned long ago, and now only trucks occasionally stop by.

Chi Jingyuan happily lay on the bed in his room and played games all night. He was very happy and hatched several Pokémon eggs with specific personalities.

However, as the title song of the single album "X", "Spring Day" naturally receives great attention from the company, and as a song with a mainly lyrical style, the MV is one of the important channels and means to exaggerate and condense emotions.

It requires special attention.

Fortunately, "Music Bank", as a Taiwanese singing competition program, has its own fairness and gold content. Without the company's deliberate infusion, as long as you have achievements, even if no one is present to compete for singing songs, a trophy will be given out when it is due.

, it won’t be as low-end as “The Show”.

Some people even want to express some metaphors, hints and memories of certain events in the MV.

"Cut (vomit)"

In order to reshoot this MV scene, the company also specifically canceled the recording of "Music Bank" that I was originally scheduled to participate in today.

"Wait for me there."

After hearing this, the people around them lowered their heads and whispered to each other, discussing in a low voice. Chi Jingyuan also thought for a while and exchanged opinions with the producer next to him.

"... 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."

"Nonsense?...I didn't say anything about you, this is our topic!"

Li Xiuman glanced at the assistant who was recording, nodded after thinking for a few seconds, and then looked at the member sitting next to him: "Jingyuan, what do you think?"
