Even though the personal trailer was shot very quickly, the time was still a little rushed. By the time I took the plane to Seoul in the early morning of the 21st, the amount of filming that needed to be done in Europe was still not completed. After attending the awards ceremony, I guess

Will come again.

However, Ji Kyung-won, Kim Min-seok and other members who have finished shooting their own trailers will no longer need to follow them. They will only have to wait until they go to Xia Yunnan to shoot the final 9-member team-up video.

While EXO was busy preparing to shoot the album trailer video, another piece of exciting news came from the peninsula in the past two days. The peninsula government officially launched the "Comprehensive Countermeasures for Irregular Workers" a few days ago.

This 'countermeasure' is to improve the employment conditions of contract workers similar to the protagonist Zhang Keli in "Misheng", which was aired just a while ago but has caused great repercussions on the peninsula.

The 'countermeasures' include that employees who have been employed for more than three months can receive severance pay, the contract of informal employees over 35 years old has been extended from two years to four years, and employees who cannot be regularized can receive a certain amount of severance pay.

The number of appointments is limited to three times in two years; unemployment benefits are extended to four months and other provisions that are closely related to the vital interests of working people.

"Misheng" aired its final episode on December 20 last year. The ratings for the final episode exceeded the peak of 12%. The average ratings for the entire series were close to 8%. On the cable TV channel

The ratings are extremely outstanding, and the ratings are surprising. Even if it is placed on a wireless TV station, it can be said to be satisfactory.

And the most important thing is that "Misei" has caused huge social repercussions during the broadcast period until now, which is far beyond the comparison of ordinary TV series. This special project for the eighth anniversary of tvN can be said to have achieved great success.

Originally, because the broadcast was over, the popularity had dissipated a lot, but as soon as the news came out, "Misheng", which had been completed, was once again on the hot search list along with the new regulations, and it came back into the eyes of many people.

This is another example of a film and television work that exposed real social problems and attracted the attention of the government after excellent works such as "The Crucible" and "The Defender" and then changed laws or regulations and finally brought actual benefits to disadvantaged groups.

Excited fans of the drama called it the "Misheng" effect, which suddenly aroused netizens' enthusiasm for discussing the drama again, and the discussion on the Internet was in full swing.

Among the drama reviews of "Misei" on the largest film and television website, the highest-rated comment quoted the news of the launch of the "Comprehensive Countermeasures for Non-regular Workers", with the following text: "This is the biggest drama of "Misei"

Its value is better than all drama reviews, and it has been endorsed by countless netizens.

This TV series was the first of its kind on Peninsula Film and Television’s workplace dramas and had a huge impact, bringing great honor and considerable benefits to the main creative staff and many leading actors. Although it has been completed, its influence is still spreading.

For Chi Jingyuan, in addition to the visible benefits of participating in this drama, the biggest gain is that it has greatly improved his reputation among the peninsula's 20th and 30th generation white-collar office workers.

Popularity. This group itself basically does not pay attention to idol groups at all. It is very difficult for ordinary idols or actors to gain popularity among them, but this time Chi Jingyuan relied on "Misheng"

"The leading actor Zhang Clay did it.

Although these casual drama fans may not pay much attention to EXO or buy any albums, Chi Jingyuan's influence is truly engraved on him, in improving his overall image, as well as accepting commercials and endorsements.

It has been of great help. The many cases that I received during the broadcast and after the completion of the TV series are the best proof.

This time, they are obviously in Europe, but they have been talked about for a few days by the TV series that has already been completed. It is considered good luck. It is a good sign for them who are closely preparing for their return.

After returning to Seoul, we rested for a night, and the next morning all EXO went to the conference room of the SM Building for a meeting. The company announced the news and overall plan for EXO’s second world tour this year.

Originally, EXO's second tour had been within the company's discussion for a long time, and I heard that it was actually very early in the beginning. It was wanted to be finalized at the end of last year, but after the company officially confirmed XO's official second album

After returning to the mode, the concert plan was postponed for a while. After all, EXO's new songs will be released in four months. If the concert time is set too early, there will be no performance stage for the new songs.

There was no essential difference from last year’s tour.

The company said in the meeting that the second tour this time is expected to be in April or May. The overall performance process of the concert has not yet been fully determined, and multiple production meetings will be held with the stage effects planning company to discuss these.

All EXO members need to participate and put forward their own opinions.

Concerts are the favorite itinerary for idol groups in the Peninsula, because to some extent, the bulk of the share is based on overseas concerts. Every member of EXO is very happy and excited to be able to start the second tour.

Bobo participated in many discussions.

However, they did not wait long for their happiness. After the meeting, they went back to the practice room to practice dancing in the afternoon. Not long after, they were severely punished by the teacher again.

"Yuan, and D.O., why don't you put your hands in the right position when doing the crotch thrusting movement? You always make a fist and put it on the leg next to you. Do you feel embarrassed to do this kind of movement? What about doing more mature and sexy dances in the future?

"

In the practice room, a group of EXO people had just finished dancing to the title song and were sitting on the floor next to the wall, panting slightly. The dance teacher and manager stood in the middle, frowning and getting angry.

After Chi Jingyuan was called, he didn't look down at the floor. He just pursed his lips slightly and said nothing.

The choreography of the song "Call Me Baby" is very unique and handsome. There are no problems in other aspects, but the choreography of hip thrusting is a bit too much. Every time the rhythm or formation changes, the hip thrust must be done.

.

Chi Jingyuan was a little indifferent to this movement. It was fine once or twice, but it felt a bit awkward if he did it too much. Later, when he danced, he simply made fists beside him without moving his hands.

Do Kyung-soo, who had always felt uncomfortable, immediately followed suit. Every time these two people moved, their movements were a little different from others.

But to be honest, Chi Jingyuan feels that after a slight modification, this action is quite handsome, no worse than the previous crotch thrust.

The dance teacher saw that the two of them were not talking, so he didn't criticize him too much. The hip movement was a small problem. Even if it was not standard, it didn't look out of place. He quickly locked his eyes on the two members sitting in the middle, their expressions

And his tone suddenly became stern:

"Suho, and Baekhyun, are you not good at the crab walk choreography? Ai Xi, I've told you how many times you can't change it? The MV is about to be shot and it's still like this, okay?

You start practicing the dance of a new song and you’re going to get through it like this?”

"It's been like this for so long. Did you do this on purpose? Have you practiced seriously?"

The dance teacher and manager both seemed quite angry. During this period, EXO had not only practiced "Call Me Baby", but also "Spring Day", "Love Me Right" and several non-featured songs with choreography.

Everyone has already started practicing.

The preparations for "Call Me Baby" are actually at the end. Immediately after the personal trailer, I will shoot the MV, makeup photos and pictorials, and then I will start making final preparations for my comeback while practicing other songs.

But up until now, "Call Me Baby" is still an old problem. The other parts have already been very proficient and are very good. However, the crab dance at the end is still unsatisfactory, especially for Kim Junmyeon and Byun Baekhyun.

, it’s as if they are deliberately going against the teacher. I have taught them several lessons from the beginning to now, but they still go their own way and can’t change.

"The MV will be filmed next week, what on earth do you want to do?" Lee Seung-hwan also rarely got angry and severely criticized the usually reliable captain.

The entire practice room was very quiet. The slight gasps just now could no longer be heard. Only the stern reprimands lingered around, and the atmosphere in the whole room was a bit solemn.

As for Kim Junmyeon and Byun Baekhyun, one was staring at the texture of the floor and the other was playing with his fingers. They didn't reply but looked very unhappy.

After scolding for a while, the two left two harsh words and walked out first, leaving EXO to practice in the practice room.

"Is this move so difficult?" After the dance teacher and manager left, it took a while before Park Chanyeol took the initiative to break the stiff atmosphere, but his tone was slightly complaining, which made everyone's emotions a little complicated.

.

Chi Jingyuan glanced at this brother out of the corner of his eye and thought it was quite interesting.

Park Chanyeol's dance at the end of the crab dance was actually very average, with rigid movements. It was just that Kim Junmyeon and Byun Baekhyun were too conspicuous, covering up this guy.

In fact, Chi Jingyuan thinks this dance move is not too difficult, but it requires a little more balance and rhythm on the body. He doesn't know why these guys have never been able to dance well.

"...Let's continue practicing." Everyone was silent for a while. Jin Junmian stood up and said something. After seeing other members also getting up, he walked to the sound box to play the accompaniment. The nine people got into formation and started dancing again.

.

The muffled sound of the soles of the shoes on the floor, the gasps from the violent beating, and the dynamic music accompaniment mixed together, making the air in the entire practice room a little dull.

EXO has been really busy recently. Not only are they busy with various tasks such as dance practice, recording, and filming previews for the new album, they also have to run some commercial promotions and filming. Even Park Chanyeol, Kyung Soo, and Baekhyun are all

The lead actor also has to take care of the filming of the web drama "My Neighbor is EXO". He is very tired every day and has to rest very late.

It's just that as the date of comeback is getting closer, there are always some unfavorable things happening now, which makes EXO, who is somewhat unbalanced because of this extremely important comeback for the group, even more anxious.

.

They didn’t stop practicing until dinner time. Everyone wiped their sweat and drank some water before getting ready to eat. When Chi Jingyuan and others were preparing to go out together, Do Kyungsoo turned around and saw Kim Junmyeon and Byun Baekhyun drinking.

After finishing the water, he stood in the middle of the practice room, looking like he was ready to continue practicing dance, and asked curiously: "Brother, aren't you going to eat?"

"...You guys go ahead and let's practice for a while." Bian Baekhyun kept his head calm and said nothing, while Jin Junmian squeezed out a smile and waved to them.

They all knew that these two brothers were in a bad mood. Firstly, it was really humiliating to be scolded in public, and secondly, this return was too important and they actually didn't want to hold them back.

Chi Jingyuan glanced at the two of them and didn't try to persuade them. He just nodded and said, "Then we will bring some back to you later."

After gesturing to Jin Junmian and the others, Chi Jingyuan and the others closed the door and left to eat. Only Jin Junmian and Bian Baekhyun were left in the practice room, walking sideways in the room, over and over again.

Repeat the crab walk from left to right endlessly.

Because there was something else to do in the evening, Chi Jingyuan and the three of them went to a nearby restaurant to deal with it. After a while, they came back from eating. Wu Shixun took the lead carrying the fried noodles, bibimbap and miso soup that he had brought for them.

He opened the door and walked in. However, seeing that the two brothers were still practicing and had no intention of eating, he pursed his lips and placed the rice on the floor next to him. Chi Jingyuan, who was following behind, glanced at Chi Jingyuan.

He didn't say anything after that. He walked in and sat on the floor, took out his phone and answered the message. When he just came back, he received a text message from Zhou Ziyu:

"It seems our company is going to launch a new girl group!"

Ji Jingyuan was not surprised when he saw this news. JYP is currently in such a desperate situation. Last year's girl group plan was shelved due to various reasons. The debut of GOT7 is far from a success. If it doesn't happen again this year,

Action Na will probably fall out of the "top three" ranks in the music industry soon.

Zhou Ziyu's face seemed to appear in front of him. After thinking for a while, he tapped the screen and replied, laughing as he said: "What does it have to do with you?"

Chi Jingyuan could imagine that Zhou Ziyu would feel a little unhappy after seeing this reply, and maybe she was just looking at the screen with her nose wrinkled.

Sure enough, she responded quickly:

"(angry!)"

"Why are you like this? Why doesn't it matter! I've been practicing for so long!"

"I heard from a friend that our company seems to be hosting a survival talent show for female trainees. Several seniors who were in the girl group's debut planning team at 6mix seem to have gotten the news and have been practicing hard recently...

…It’s just that the rest of us haven’t been officially notified yet.”

‘Survival talent show’

Chi Jingyuan looked at this and recited it silently, understanding in his heart.
