Chapter 1041 VCR
…………
After performing several songs in a row, Chi Jingyuan temporarily left the stage, the lights dimmed, and a VCR began playing on the big screen.
After a flash of light, a familiar face appeared on the big screen.
Many fans and audiences who were still immersed in the atmosphere of the stage and had not yet come out of it were stunned when they saw this face. Then some of them smiled knowingly, while others fell into memories.
"Aniha Saiyo, EXO, Yuan Yimi Da~"
The face of the boy who is introducing himself on the screen can be recognized as Chi Jingyuan at a glance. Although his face remains the same, his messy hair and rustic outfit are very different from his current style. His slightly shy smile is a little stiff. He stands there straight, and it seems that he doesn't know where to put his hands. His every move shows his immaturity.
This is a video shot during EXO's debut showcase in 2012. This is the part where all the members introduced themselves... If we don't count the previous debut trailer and take this showcase as the starting point of their debut, this can be said to be the first time Ji Kyung-won appeared in public, and also the first time the name Yuan appeared in the history of the Kpop music industry.
There are really not many old fans who have witnessed this scene with their own eyes, but seeing this scene still makes the fans at the scene recall their past memories.
"My hobbies are sports and games..."
"thanks for your support……"
Seeing him on the screen accepting the interview with a trembling voice and answering several questions with pre-set answers in a serious manner, many viewers burst out laughing.
Then, the camera switches.
"...Aniha Saiyo, EXO, Yuan Yimi~"
This is the press conference for EXO's first album "Wolf and Beauty". This is a picture of Ji Jingyuan being interviewed. His rainbow hairstyle is particularly eye-catching.
"...Aniha Saiyo..."
The next second, the picture changed again. A light-colored school suit with a gray hairstyle exuded a strong youthful aura even through the screen... This was the look in "Roar", the follow-up album to the first album in 13, which made EXO soar to the sky. Chi Jingyuan on the screen seemed to be giving a speech to accept the award.
"Hello everyone, I'm Yuan from XO."
"Anihasay..."
Next, the scenes kept flowing, and the scenes that Chi Jingyuan had appeared in at different times when he returned appeared in front of everyone one by one.
In 14, she wore mature outfits and had red hair color under the lights in "DOPE" and "Addicted".
During the "Call Me Baby" period in 15, all Yuan fans still talk about the fashionable outfit and smoky gray color, which is praised as Yuan's peak makeup. Even today, when this clip appears, it still causes screams from the audience.
"Omo, this is so handsome..." The best friend couldn't help but scream when she saw this, and kept shaking Bae Joo-hyun's arm.
"..." Bae Joo-hyun didn't say anything, but just looked at the big screen quietly, with a gentle smile on the corner of her mouth that seemed to have quietly appeared at some point.
Next, the blue hair in "Boy with LUV" and the black hair and damaged makeup in 16.
Each time she returns, her look and style are completely different, but what remains the same is her unforgettable face and her increasingly confident and free-spirited self-introduction voice:
"Aniha Saiyo...EXO.Yuan Yimi~"
As time gets closer, his temperament becomes closer and closer to who he is today, until the last scene, when he appears in front of the camera, looks at the camera and introduces himself with a smile, then thanks everyone for supporting his solo, and introduces the ticket sales date for the concert... This is the 'Personal Concert Promotion Video' that Chi Jingyuan released through the SM official account some time ago.
All the pictures and images overlap at this moment. The once green and immature teenage idol has now become the handsome, confident and generous absolute TOP... All the accumulated emotions are released at this moment. Looking at the face on the big screen that seems to have changed a lot, but seems to have not changed at all, many fans can't help but have blurred vision and their eyes are filled with tears.
The short two or three minute VCR seemed to bring back Chi Jingyuan's entire idol career. When memories, feelings and time are connected together, it makes people more empathetic.
The atmosphere of the entire scene became warm, with only countless bright silver lights flashing continuously.
The content of this VCR talks about Ji Jingyuan's experience since his debut, which is a huge sentimental bomb for all fans... I just vaguely remember that half a month ago, Ji Jingyuan expressed his contempt for Twice's behavior of playing sentimental VCRs at the concert because there were too few songs and insufficient duration.
...So some things really can’t be said casually, because you never know when the boomerang will come back to you.
Fortunately, this VCR is only more than three minutes long, and it will be over when it is played. It can be sentimental for a while, but it is impossible for Chi Jingyuan to stand on the stage and wipe away tears for forty minutes.
Moreover, for him, the purpose of this VCR is not to be sentimental, but to delay time...
"Huh, huh..."
In the waiting corridor backstage, Chi Jingyuan, who had just changed his clothes, drank water greedily. After taking a few sips of water, he suddenly let it go, gasping for breath with his chest heaving. Several assistants and Cody surrounded him, some helped him to tidy up his clothes and hairstyle, some helped him wipe the sweat off his face, and some helped him to tidy up the wires of his earphones. It was busy but orderly in chaos.
During EXO's group concerts, they could still play the music on the VCR and take a break to catch their breath during other members' individual performances. But it was different for their solo concerts. In addition, Ji Jingyuan did not invite any guests to sing with him this time, so he danced almost all by himself from beginning to end. It was really too tiring, and even his physical strength could not sustain it.
I was already a little out of breath during the last stage, so I took the opportunity to catch my breath and rest during the VCR transition.
Next to him, Oh Se-hun, Kang Seul-gi and Yu Jeong-yeon were also checking their costumes and ear monitors. The stage after the VCR was the collaboration of the four of them, "Really Really"
“Jeongyeon, did you sleep well?”
Chi Jingyuan, who was surrounded by the crowd, glanced around and looked at Yu Jeongyeon next to him, and joked: "Even if you are too sleepy when you go on stage, don't doze off. I will let you have a good sleep after the performance."
Twice finished recording the show last night and didn't return to the dormitory until three in the morning. Yu Jeongyeon didn't go to bed until four, and then got up again at six to rush to the scene for rehearsal. After the rehearsal, she kept catching up on sleep backstage. Although she has full makeup on her face now, she looks obviously tired mentally, as if she is forcing herself to hold on.
Not to mention that she often took time out to practice with them some time ago, and then went back to work overtime with Twice... This kid is really hard-working.
"Oppa~"
Yu Jeongyeon was a little dissatisfied when she heard this, and patted her head from a distance: "I'm a professional! Don't worry, there will be no problem."
"Ha ha……"
Chi Jingyuan, who was just joking, laughed. Then he thought about it, looked at her and asked, "After the concert, will you stay for dinner or go home directly?"
Yu Jeongyeon thought about it and shook her head with a bitter face: "I probably won't be able to eat. I have to go back to the company tonight to practice with the members. There will be a special stage in a few days."
"Is that so..." Chi Jingyuan nodded helplessly after hearing that.
We go back at night to practice until midnight, and then rush over early the next morning to help with rehearsal. Ji Jingyuan's solo concert is on for three consecutive days... This makes Ji Jingyuan feel a little embarrassed. JYP's killer schedule really treats idols like machines.
"Look at you two. You're both in the comeback period, but why do I feel like you sleep so well every day?" Wu Sehun, who was standing next to them, heard their conversation and whispered to Kang Seulgi in a sarcastic tone.
Just as Jiang Seulgi's eyes glared, ready to release murderous intent and verbal attacks, the on-site staff nearby heard the PD's prompt in the headset and quickly clapped their hands and urged:
"Alright, alright, hurry up and get on the platform and get ready to go on stage."
I wrote one more chapter...but it will be over soon
