On August 16, the filming of "The Heirs" began.
4:30 AM KBS TV
Walking down the dark corridor, EXO members dragged their tired feet towards the waiting room.
"It's the third time of pre-recording, and the director is still not satisfied?" Byun Baekhyun rubbed his temples, his voice hoarse.
Ouyangguang leaned against the wall, eyes closed, resting. He had been dragged out of the dormitory by his manager at two in the morning, and now he felt like he was walking on cotton, with a buzzing sound in his ears.
"Last take! Go on stage in 10 minutes!" the manager clapped his hands and shouted, "After the pre-recording, you can take a two-hour break!"
Ouyangguang closed his eyes and forced himself to be alert. Today was the day filming for "The Heirs" began, and he had to rush to the set immediately after the pre-recording.
The music started, the melody of "Growl" echoing through the studio. Ouyangguang danced flawlessly, his muscle memory registering before his brain could react. He turned, raised his hands, and clicked into place, each movement precise and accurate.
"OK! Call it a day!"
Inside the waiting room, the members collapsed on the floor, but Ouyangguang had already grabbed his backpack and said, "Brother, I'm leaving first."
Zhang Yixing looked up at him and said tiredly, "Over there on the set..."
"I don't have any scenes today, it's just the opening ceremony." Ouyangguang rubbed his temples. "See you at Music Bank this afternoon."
5:30, there are still three hours until the opening ceremony of "The Heirs".
Ouyangguang changed into three sets of clothes in the nanny car, finally settling on a dark blue shirt. The stylist hurriedly combed his hair and sprayed it with styling spray.
"You don't have any scenes today. It's mainly the opening ceremony and the on-site photo shoot." The agent flipped through the schedule. "You have to get back to KBS before 3 pm for the Music Bank live broadcast."
The set of "The Heirs" was packed. Director Kang Shin-hyo was discussing something with screenwriter Kim Eun-sook, while Min-ho and Park Shin-hye stood nearby rehearsing their lines. As soon as Ouyang Yang walked in, a staff member thrust a bouquet of flowers into her hand.
"Ouyang Guangxi! Come over here for a photo!"
Flashes of light flashed one after another, and he stood at the edge of the first row, next to him was Soo-jung, who played Bo-na.
"Are you nervous?" Krystal asked in a low voice.
Ouyang Guang shook his head, a proper smile on his face: "Yes, today is just the opening ceremony."
But his fingers unconsciously stroked the cuffs of his shirt.
After the opening ceremony, screenwriter Kim Eun-sook explained the plot to the leading actors.
"Today we're mainly filming Kim Tan and Cha Eun Sang's scenes." Director Kang Shin Hyo flipped through the schedule. "Guangxi can observe and learn first."
Ouyang Guang nodded and found a corner to sit down.
12:30 noon, lounge on set
Ouyangguang held his lunch box, his eyes fixed on the play. Choi Young-woo's lines were highlighted with a yellow highlighter, and the margins were filled with notes.
"Don't you have any scenes today? Why are you so serious?" Kim Ji-won suddenly appeared at the door with two glasses of iced American coffee in her hands.
"Nuna." Ouyangguang put down the play and took the coffee. "Why are you here?"
"My scene is in the afternoon." Jin Zhiyuan sat down next to him, her eyes fixed on his tired eyes. "Didn't you sleep last night?"
"Rehearsals and pre-recordings last until dawn." Ouyangguang took a sip of coffee, the bitter taste sobering him up a bit. "I have to go back to KBS to promote my music later."
Jin Zhiyuan frowned and gently touched his dark circles with her fingers: "If you keep working like this, your body will collapse."
Ouyangguang smiled and suddenly lowered his voice: "Compared to this, I'm more worried about next week's scene."
"Which one?"
"The one with my dear stepsister, of course."
Kim Ji-won's ears instantly turned red, and she stood up suddenly: "I, I'll go see if the director has any arrangements!"
Ouyangguang looked at her fleeing back and couldn't help but chuckle.
2:45 PM KBS TV
"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Change into your stage clothes!"
The waiting room was in chaos. As soon as Ouyangguang burst in, she was pinned down in a chair by a stylist for makeup. f(x)'s waiting room was next door, and Krystal peeked in:
"Guang! Come along! Our interview will start soon."
During the Music Bank live show, EXO and f(x) stood on opposite sides of the stage. The host announced, "The next candidate for week 1 is EXO's "Growl" versus f(x)'s "First Wisdom Tooth!"
Ouyangguang stood among the members, sweat sliding down his forehead.
The big screen switches to real-time data.
"Congratulations to EXO for winning first place this week!"
Amidst cheers, the members hugged each other and gave their acceptance speeches.
After Junmian finished his acceptance speech, Ouyang Guang was pushed out:
"Thank you so much to our fans who have always supported and accompanied us, as well as our members' parents!"
"One person's agreement! Throw Suho up!" Park Chanyeol announced loudly.
Amid the fans' screams, SUHO was thrown high into the air by the members.
