Chapter 795 Rehearsal
"I'm so sleepy."
After coming out of the elevator, Chi Jingyuan quickly walked towards the practice room, with his eyes drooping, and said to Park Jae-hyun beside him: "I almost fell asleep in the bathroom when I went back to take a shower just now."
After leaving the crew, he returned to the dormitory to take a shower and change clothes. He was wearing a simple sportswear with a cartoon logo and no makeup. He did not look as fashionable and eye-catching as he did at the fashion week. On the contrary, he did not look very good even after taking a shower because he had been filming all night.
Although he was complaining, Chi Jingyuan did not stop and walked very quickly... He knew that he was a little late now.
"Hold on a little longer, after you finish rehearsing the collaborative stage and rehearse with XO for the concert stage, you can go back and rest early." Park Jae-hyun shrugged and made a pie in the sky, which made Chi Jingyuan feel a little more energetic.
He quickly reached the door of the practice room, stopped, smoothed his hair, shook his head vigorously, and after making himself more sober, he pushed the door open and walked in.
Unlike what he imagined, it wasn't that noisy inside, but rather quite quiet...
The sound of the door being pushed open attracted a lot of attention. Chi Jingyuan was discovered as soon as he entered. As soon as he showed his head, he felt all kinds of eyes on his face. Before he could even glance around to see who was in the practice room, he heard a commotion of people getting up, followed by a noisy greeting:
"Aniha Saiyo..."
"Oppa~"
"Jingyuan is here~."
The EXO guy was sitting there and waving casually. The members of Twice and Gfirend all greeted him, with various curious and inquiring looks.
There were also several people who called him Oppa, such as Kim Da-hyun, Yu Jeong-yeon, Zheng Yilin and Ding Eun-bi. It sounded more intimate than an ordinary greeting. Ji Jingyuan even nodded and smiled at them.
He nodded and looked around to greet everyone. Finally, he looked in the direction of Twice, blinked naturally and glanced at Zhou Ziyu.
Tsk~~ Why are you opening your eyes so wide? You are here to practice dancing and you are wearing contact lenses and makeup. Who are you trying to show this to?
His eyes passed over Zhou Ziyu, and finally he looked at Ming Jingnan who was at a distance. The two of them looked at each other from a distance, paused for a moment, and then passed each other... She had braids and side bangs, and wore light makeup with pink lips. Her lips were bright and reflected the light, very beautiful.
In the eyes of others, the two people just greeted each other in a normal way. Only Ming Jingnan knew that the exchange of glances between the two people just now was somewhat exciting.
But maybe some insiders have noticed it...
Chi Jingyuan then went to greet the managers of several groups and the dance teachers who had already arrived. Since most of them were acquaintances, they were not too polite. While they were chatting with smiles, Leeteuk next to him also interrupted and said, "I haven't seen Jingyuan for a long time."
"Brother is already here."
Chi Jingyuan smiled and greeted Li Te, then looked around and said embarrassedly: "Am I the last one to arrive? I'm so sorry..."
"It's not late, I just arrived."
He smiled and waved his hand to indicate that it was nothing, and then Li Te observed: "You don't look very well? Didn't you sleep?"
"Inside."
Chi Jingyuan nodded and couldn't help yawning: "I'll go back to sleep after I'm done~"
"You still need to take a rest..."
In response to the concern of his senior, Chi Jingyuan thanked him cordially, and then walked towards EXO.
The members who were sitting together had been waving and winking at him just now, and when they saw him coming over, they moved aside pretentiously to make room for him.
The sofa is obviously very big and there is still a lot of space.
Chi Jingyuan smiled and raised an eyebrow at a few people, put his shoulder bag aside and sat down. In real time, a noisy questioning voice came to his ears:
"Hey, you're finally back."
"Why are you dressed so casually? Hahaha, do you know that you are representing Kpop fashion now?"
“Shixun was just saying bad things about you!”
Faced with the banter of the other members, Chi Jingyuan, who hadn't enjoyed himself for a long time, found it quite cordial and sat there chatting with them.
As a result, not long after he sat down, he could almost feel all kinds of gazes floating towards him. He was already accustomed to this kind of gaze, and sometimes he couldn't help but look back.
A few days ago, news about spokespersons and fashion weeks dominated the screens here at Peninsula. The most popular figure in the entire Kpop scene is Ji Kyung-won, who is no longer in Peninsula. As idols in the circle, Twice and Gfriend are of course also exposed to these news. It’s annoying just to hear their names every day.
And now is the first time I see Chi Jingyuan after he returned to Peninsula. I was already very curious about my colleague who created the ceiling of idol fashion endorsements...not to mention that many people in the two girl groups are quite familiar with him.
The two girl group members suddenly spoke less, and the voices of the men and women who were sitting together seemed to have become lower as well. The atmosphere suddenly became a little bit weird.
But if Chi Jingyuan came, then everyone would be there. The dance teacher had already walked to the computer next to him.
Chi Jingyuan, who was chatting with the members, felt a special gaze and looked back inadvertently. Sure enough, his eyes met Ming Jingnan's. The two people who had not seen each other for a long time exchanged glances secretly.
But this time, the eye contact made Chi Jingyuan feel suspicious.
When they first entered the room, they looked at each other for a moment but he didn't notice anything. Now, after a careful look, he found that the way the girl looked at him seemed a little strange.
It was completely different from what he had expected... His scandal with Bae Suzy just came out yesterday. Although the public opinion has changed with the help of a tool man today, fans are no longer obsessed with the topic of love.
But Chi Jingyuan knew that Ming Jingnan was different. She had witnessed the intimate behavior between him and Bae Suzy in the club with her own eyes, and knew that the two had a special relationship in the past. If they made associations with each other, she would definitely not be fooled so easily. And this girl was very thoughtful, so she could easily make more associations.
Chi Jingyuan had already thought about this matter before he came, and also thought about what to say. He originally thought that Ming Jingnan would not be in a good mood... But when they looked at each other at this moment, why was there no negative emotion in this girl's eyes, her eyes were moist, and there was a sense of joy in seeing him between her eyebrows.
What's happening here?
Chi Jingyuan was a little surprised.
Zhou Ziyu is the same, thinking that if she lowered her head and used Kim Dahyun as a cover, she wouldn't be noticed? Did you know that your eyes are big and they reflect light every time you secretly look up at this side?
It seemed that the reactions of both girls were a little beyond his expectations. Did something happen that he didn't know about?
And Minatozaki Sana, who was closer to him, would glance over here from time to time...
This girl is sitting together with Ding Enfei and... Hey, Kim Jong-in.
Kim Jong-in has been resting for almost two months since his last injury, and he didn't even participate in the comeback. When Ji Kyung-won left, Kai's leg hadn't healed yet, but now he has obviously returned to the team, and judging by his smiles when he and Minatozaki Sana were chatting, he should be in pretty good shape.
Chi Jingyuan could tell at a glance that this guy seemed to have some interest in Sana... This guy was usually very introverted and didn't talk much with his teammates. He acted pretentiously and coldly in front of girls he wasn't familiar with. It was obvious that he was smiling so brightly at this moment.
As if she noticed his gaze, Minatozaki Sana looked over directly and gave Chi Jingyuan her signature friendly smile.
She smiles very sweetly and indeed has her own charm.
But Chi Jingyuan felt that her gaze was a little bit strange.
People who have no relationship with each other sit together openly to chat and socialize, while those who have close and special relationships are secretive. It makes people laugh, but also makes some men and women who enjoy it have a very subtle feeling.
However, the subtle eye contact did not last too long. Soon the music over there was adjusted and the time was almost up. As the dance teacher clapped his hands, everyone quieted down, and the few people who were sitting together hurriedly returned to their seats.
"Hey, XO, Gfriend, Twcie, the lineup is really luxurious. Fans and audiences will definitely be excited to see it."
The dance teacher came to the middle and first looked at the three groups with some excitement and sighed, then got straight to the point: "Have you all practiced your dances?"
"Inside."
“I already know how to do it.”
"OK, the specific process of this collaborative stage has been arranged. Let's divide the positions first. It will be a long strip of stage, XO..."
The teacher took a few steps back and pointed to the center: "XO stands in the middle, at the center line. When you go on stage, just walk out of the LCD door. XO is the center line, Twice is on the right, and Gfriend is on the left..."
Following the command, everyone stood up and went to their own positions. EXO and Twice are both large groups, and with the addition of Gfriend, the twenty-four idols immediately filled up the originally spacious venue.
The feeling of being in the same practice room with a girl group is completely different from practicing on my own. There are a dozen beautiful and popular female idols standing next to me. As the faint fragrance fills the air, the breathing sounds coming from someone unknown in my ears seem to have a special rhythm...
Although this breathing sound could also come from someone in EXO...but I just have this feeling.
Even with Chi Jingyuan's serious attitude towards work, he would occasionally be a little distracted... But the same must be true for others, including the two girl groups. No wonder the agent had to keep an eye on them the whole time.
This time the three groups will collaborate on two songs, "Roar" and "Sorry Sorry". These two songs are very classic boy group dance songs and are must-learn dances for all company's trainees, regardless of gender. EXO is a must-learn, and the two girl groups have also practiced them before.
So this time we are not here to practice dancing, but mainly to rehearse the process and collaborative movements. Once the process is OK, we can practice together a few times and it will be almost the same.
Soon, the teacher explained the specific positions and procedures in detail, and even turned on the big screen in the room and played the MV of "Roar".
"Yoo~~Okay~"
"Sexy~"
Familiar electronic music sounded. Although the three groups present often performed and practiced, Chi Jingyuan had not watched the MV of "Roar" for a long time. Suddenly, he saw his youthful and energetic self three years ago in the MV again, and looking at the handsome silver-gray hairstyle, he suddenly felt some inexplicable emotion.
It would have been fine if he was watching it alone, but there were Chou Tzuyu and Ming Jingnan standing next to him. A bunch of people were watching him on the screen together. It was an indescribable feeling.
He suddenly had a lot of thoughts, but the girls next to him were watching with great interest. In addition to Ming Jingnan admiring her young and handsome boyfriend, Zhou Ziyu was also a little dazed when she saw Chi Jingyuan in the MV, as if she remembered the time when she first met him...
The dance teacher explained to them as he performed the movements, and occasionally brought out dancers to demonstrate in person.
This time it is said to be a collaboration stage, but there is actually not much "cooperation" in it. In order to avoid causing discomfort to the fans of each other, there are not many interspersed dances or interactive actions.
The three groups spent most of the time standing in their own places and dancing, with only one or two brief cooperative interactions from beginning to end.
"The first stage of "Roar" is almost like this. It's only about one and a half minutes in total. The first verse is followed by the second chorus, and it ends with the group dance before the bridge. Jingyuan shouts 'E!X!O!'..."
"This part Jingyuan is standing at the front of the center line..."
The MV paused in the middle, and under the command, Chi Jingyuan walked out of the crowd and stood in the arranged position. He blinked lightly, feeling a little embarrassed to be stared at by so many people.
Then the dance teacher looked around at the members of Twice and Gfirend and asked, "Who in your two groups is going to dance in the Yuan position?"
This kind of cover stage song has been performed countless times by the original singer, and the choreography and movement are all traceable, so when covering and practicing the parts, generally everyone will imitate one of the original singer's parts and learn it. The part we dance to is Chi Jingyuan's part, which is simply called the 'Yuan position'.
"I."
The tallest girl in the Gfriend crowd raised her hand, and at the signal of the dance teacher, she walked out briskly and stood on the left side of Chi Jingyuan.
Before Chi Jingyuan looked at Jin Shaoqing, a familiar voice came from the side.
"……And I!"
I saw Lin Nayeon, the member of Twice, raised her hand and responded. She stretched her hand high as if she was afraid that no one could see it.
But as if he felt the gazes of some people around him, his hand was just extended for less than a second before he suddenly retracted half of it, with his fingers parallel to his forehead. The back and forth movement combined with his rabbit teeth looked quite funny.
Then, at the signal of the dance teacher, Lin Nayeon quickly walked to the right side of Chi Jingyuan. After standing still, she looked ahead one second, and then looked at the floor the next. She had no intention of looking at Chi Jingyuan at all. At the same time, her feet could not stop, and she kept rubbing her white sneakers back and forth, rubbing them on the ground...
Chi Jingyuan frowned when he saw this.
Do you have ADHD?
