Chan-nyeol, this is..." Ji Kyeong-won pointed towards Park Chan-nyeol's departing direction."Oh, you said this."As soon as he heard this, Wu Shixun's eyes lit up, and he smirked, leaning closer and w...>> 。After becoming a popular girl group thanks to the viral success of their song last year, EXID has remained one of the hottest groups this year. The sudden rise in popularity for the group might have felt like striking gold for their agency, who had been struggling with them for years. Riding this wave of momentum, they've kept releasing music and promoting continuously throughout the year. If we count "Up & Down," which was released late last year and promoted early this year, as a comeback, then EXID has already made three comebacks this year. 。...only that Ji Jingyuan watched EXID's comeback title song stage rehearsal and subsequent live performance throughout the entire time on the sidelines. After listening to the song and watching the performance, there was always a very strange feeling in his heart... 。He always felt that EXID's comeback title track "hotpink", their mid-year comeback title track "ahyeah", and the unexpectedly popular "Up & Down" were particularly imaginative. They all sounded like they had a familiar feel to them. 。The flow and rhythm of the three songs are very similar, with almost identical transitions and overtures in the chorus sections. The level of homogeneity is extremely high, making it feel like they were all written using the same song template. 。
I heard that the producer and main song creator of EXID are famous music producers, New Sandong Tiger. He is still very skilled in the music industry, I wonder if there's any special idea or concept behind this.
Anyway, Chi Jingyuan felt that there was no problem with the similar style of returning several times in a row, but the songs being so similar was quite draining on his own potential and the enthusiasm of his fans. 。
All the girls know that they change their clothes after every shot, … The next day, Ji-sung woke up very early because he had to film a commercial. He left before dawn and first went to a beauty salon where his stylist applied some foundation for him. Then he got in the nanny car and headed to the filming location for the commercial.
This time, the LG V10's ads were made in several versions. The flat ads are simpler, while the TV commercials involve indoor set designs and outdoor on-location shoots. The location shooting wasn't confined to just one place in Seoul. Although each version is short, they were quite elaborate to film. 。LG has always been generous with its resources, and this time's advertisement is no exception. The studio chosen for the shoot is a large venue under CJEM in the Hongdae area of Mapo-gu, known for its professionalism and comprehensive facilities. It’s considered one of the best in the industry. Previously, Ji Chang Wook has filmed several programs here. 。After arriving, I first went to greet the ad director and staff. The director of this version of the advertisement is the same as the director of the first version, a well-known powerful PD in the industry. He has worked with Ji Jingyuan before, so he is quite familiar. 。After a few pleasantries, he excused himself temporarily. The filming crew was still preparing, and the advertising actors needed to do their makeup and change clothes. He walked into the large lounge next to the studio with his manager. 。The break room door was left open, and perhaps the sound of their footsteps caught the attention of those inside. When they walked in, the person who had arrived first was already standing up to greet them. 。“Annyeonghaseyo...” The overall female voice was hard not to focus attention on, Ji-yeong's gaze swept, and three TWICE members came into view. 。
Chou Tzu-yu, with her long brown wavy hair falling over her shoulders, was closest to him. Her face, perfectly made up, looked pure and lively. She lowered her head slightly, a pair of large, watery eyes gazing up at him. Perhaps it was the reflection of the dressing room lights, but her eyes seemed to sparkle.
But her clothes were more plain, a dark coat paired with jeans. Besides the lines of the pants being puffed out by her muscular thighs, there wasn't much to note about them. With legs that thick, how can she be an idol 。
Beside her were also acquaintances, the other two members of Twice, Lim Nayeon and Yoo Jeongyeon. Both of them were also wearing makeup and casual clothes, smiling as they greeted each other.
"Aniu, hello to you all
“Chi Jingyuan didn’t put on airs. He glanced around, his gaze met Zhou Tzuyu's, and then he slightly bowed his head in greeting.” 。
At this time, a man in his thirties with a grin came up to them. It was Twice's manager Kim Sang-min, whom Ji-yeong had met before on a music show, so they were acquaintances. "Ji-yeong xi is here…" Kim Sang-min said as he pointed to the two people behind him. "Besides Tzuyu, this is Nayeon and Jeongyeon, they also participated in this CF shoot…”
“I know,”
"Chi Jingyuan nodded as he walked inside." 。This time's CF besides the spokesperson and female partner, there are also several roles with exposed faces, and the shots aren't few. Because of Zhou Tzuyu's relationship, a cooperation was achieved, and JYP took advantage of Zhou Tzuyu to push the other two members of the group into the advertising shoot as well.池景源 already knew about it when he looked at the materials yesterday >>> 。
It's no problem, this kind of taking the opportunity to push people is very common.
Besides the two artists' managers and assistants, there were also a few crew members from the set and Cody in the lounge. After brief greetings, Park Jae-hyun, Ji-young's manager, proactively went up to chat with Kim Sang-min. Meanwhile, Ji-young sat down on a single-person sofa separated by one meter from the three TWICE members, took out a stack of documents that he had already looked at yesterday from his bag, flipped through a few pages without really paying attention, and felt like there was always someone's gaze sweeping over him. 。Chi Jingyuan looked up and met Yu Dingyan's gaze. Seeing the smile that immediately appeared on the other's face, he also smiled back: "You look like you haven't slept well." Although she was wearing makeup, up close it was clear that Zhou Tzuyu and the other two were looking tired, with dark circles under their eyes. 。"Inside, we got up really early this morning to get ready. Yesterday, we didn't sleep until very late..." Because she had known Park Ji-sung for a while already, plus her unnie and the other party were also friends, and she always had a good impression of Park Ji-sung, so Yu Ding-yeon seemed more natural and even a bit closer. She secretly glanced at her own manager who was talking to Park Jae-hyun at the door, nodded slightly, and then whispered... 。"How long does it usually take you to get ready with makeup" Since he had nothing better to do at the moment, Chi Jingyuan casually closed the file in his hand and asked. 。Yu Dingyan is one of the members he gets along with best in TWICE, besides Tzuyu and Mina. They knew each other a long time ago and are quite close. 。Since there was a mole, he knew quite a bit about Twice and where their dorm was located on the first floor. He even remodeled the basement into a makeup room so they could all come down and get ready together every day. It was very convenient and saved them a lot of time compared to going to a beauty salon. 。While saving time, it also allows the company to give them more schedules…“What kind of schedule is it Today, I only drew foundation, keeping it simple. For variety shows, everyone needs at least an hour minimum, so we often get up and line up for makeup by two or three in the afternoon…” Ji Eon-seok also asked softly, “So are you guys not getting enough sleep lately”“……” After secretly glancing at his manager again, Yuri looked up with a disgusted expression, nodding reluctantly. However, he quickly joined in the laughter, waving his hand: “But it’s not like this every day…” The two chatted quietly, while sitting next to them, Lim Na-yeon kept her head down looking at her data and didn't interject, her presence was very low. Meanwhile, Zhou Tzuyu kept blinking her big eyes towards them, making little expressions as they chatted, but she remained silent throughout. 。She was still a little uncomfortable, interacting with Chi Jingyuan so familiarly in front of the other members, always seeming a bit unnatural. 。“What are you doing…” When Zhou Tzuyu’s eyes caught his again, Ji Jingyuan turned his head and their gazes met. He frowned and complained, “You haven’t said a word the whole time, are you still asleep or just pretending to be aloof” Zhou Tzuyu, who was being scolded in front of the team members, didn't dare to retort. She buried her head down and glared at Ji Jingyuan secretly with narrowed eyes, then puckered her lips and stayed silent. 。But after a few seconds, she didn't know what she was thinking about. Her expression relaxed, and she lowered her head, secretly smiling to herself. She didn't know what she was laughing at. 。"Hee hee..." Yu Dingyan also followed with a few laughs. Lin Naien beside him also casually glanced this way several times. The two of them apparently could feel that the way Chi Jingyuan and Zhou Tzuyu spoke was extremely familiar and natural. 。After a while, the staff on site came in, greeted Ji Jingyuan and his companions, and then started arranging work: " ... Because we need natural light, we'll shoot exteriors first today. After the exteriors are finished, we'll come back to shoot interiors. By the way, Jingyuan xi, pd just said that there's a lot to do today, and it might be possible to work overtime until late at night..." "I know, no problem." 。Faced with the other party's politeness, Chi Jingyuan also hurriedly smiled and nodded. 。"Then let's get started with makeup, it's getting late..." Even though the sky wasn't completely bright yet, the staff member took a look at the time and urged them to begin. 。
…Because they had just debuted, they were very careful about their interactions with seniors and staff. Plus, their manager was always around. Although they shared a resting room, the three members of TWICE seemed rather reserved throughout. Apart from the beginning, there weren't many opportunities for conversation, and after just a few words, everyone went into work mode.
This was the first time Ji Kyung-won worked with Twice after their debut. Watching Tzuyu sitting at the makeup table, being seriously messed around by Cody on her head, she sat still and didn't dare to move or speak. Her big eyes always pretended to be unintentional, looking around from time to time through the mirror reflection. She wanted to see the situation behind her and Ji Kyung-won's expression through the reflection. That probing little look made Ji Kyung-won's heart chuckle. 。
This girl obviously seemed a little out of her comfort zone because he was there.
After they finished their makeup and changed their clothes, they set off with the filming crew. They started shooting today's v10 advertisement as soon as it was getting light. 。This second version of the phone advertisement doesn't have much plot. It mainly relies on dialogue interactions between characters and some background elements to highlight and showcase the phone's main selling points. 。
This phone, lgv10, was tried out privately by Chi Jingyuan, and he actually thought it was pretty good. Although it may not be as popular as Apple right now, as a flagship model in the lgv series, it has its own unique features.
"Cut, what's going on" The director yelled to halt the filming. 。Once they arrived at the outdoor set and were ready to film, they officially began shooting. At this moment, they were filming a scene of two people interacting. Ji Jingyuan, wearing a light-colored jacket, and Zhou Tzuyu, in casual attire, each used their phones separately. They looked at each other through the railing, but as soon as their eyes met, Zhou Tzuyu seemed to freeze like a stuck record player, failing to follow the script. This immediately caused the director to angrily shout out. 。This isn't the first time, just after the shoot started for a while, Zhou Tzuyu has appeared with several problems already, even her manager was criticized just now. 。Before the director could finish his words, Zhou Ziyu hurriedly started apologizing: "Mi ah na da, mi ah na da..." She kept bowing, her movements at a perfect 90 degrees. With every bow, she uttered an apology, her brown hair swaying back and forth in front of Chi Jingyuan's eyes. Her voice sounded both pitiful and grand. 。"pd Let's do it again. " 。"At that moment, before the director could say anything else, Ji Jingyuan raised his hand and interrupted Zhou Tzuyu's apology, letting out a wry smile: “Actually, I wasn't prepared either. I was also a bit stunned just now. Tzuyu xi really came out of nowhere…”
"Er" 。The director opened his mouth as if to say something more, but seeing Ji Jingyuan take the initiative to apologize, he nodded and didn't say anything more. He waved his hand: "Cameras back in position, let's start again." 。After being interrupted, Zhou Tzuyu apologized. Listening to the exchange between Ji Kyeongwon and PD, she pursed her lips and looked over with a somewhat embarrassed expression. While Ji Kyeongwon met her gaze, he didn't speak. 。Because they were very close, Ji Jingyuan clearly saw Zhou Tzuyu's ears, and even her cheeks were slightly red. After glancing at each other, she turned away, not daring to look at him. 。This child is too nervous... Camera reset, starting again. 。It's not just Zhou Tzuyu who is nervous, actually, Chi Jingyuan, who is working with her for the first time, also feels a little awkward. Seeing that familiar face in front of him putting on a proud, cold, and pretentious expression, he can't help but feel very strange, sometimes even laughing out loud. 。"...haha..." or maybe some other weird reason, but it was definitely really funny. 。
"Cut!"
"Jingyuan..."
Facing a partner he had worked with before, and someone that LG and the advertising companies valued most—Ji Jingyuan, the director's attitude and patience clearly improved. Unlike his unrestrained shouting towards TWICE, he just helplessly looked at him and called out.
"pdnim, mi a ne mi a ne" 。"Chi Jingyuan immediately apologized proactively, although the smile hadn't faded from his face, his attitude was very sincere." 。"Sigh, let's do it again..." "Action!""Cut, let's try again!" The start of this advertisement wasn't going too smoothly. At first, Zhou Tzuyu kept making mistakes, and after the director's patience wore thin, he shouted a few times. But later on, when even Ji Jingyuan started laughing and messing up, he didn't know what to say. 。Advertising, especially when first collaborating, often encounters such issues. This is particularly true when one party involved, an actor, lacks extensive experience in CF shooting. 。After a few takes and some initial adjustments, everyone quickly got into the groove. The director's mood also calmed down, and the progress sped up considerably. 。As one shot wrapped, and she was about to change clothes and head to the next set location, Tzuyu looked back. 。Looking at Park Kyung-won, who was walking toward the nearby parking lot with his manager, chatting and smiling naturally, she couldn't help but bite her lip, as if she understood something. Complex ripples began to churn in her heart. 。his personality like... Wow, several members in our group are his fans...""As usual..."A few girls huddled together, whispering amongst themselves. Meanwhile, the male idols who had just joined them...
