Chapter 864 Xika's Thoughts
That night, Zhang Pingan talked about his speculations about Girls' Generation's ten years. After all, as "idols", singing and dancing on the stage at this time is already very strenuous for them. Five years ago, they were relatively relaxed after a concert, not to the extent of being exhausted like now. But in the past two years, let alone concerts, they are out of breath even after a stage performance. Age is a fatal flaw for idols!
Especially as the group grows older, Girls' Generation is no longer a girl, and the songs they sing will naturally not be the sweet style songs they used to sing. Now their songs have to show the "dominance" of Girls' Generation, so the power of dance moves has been strengthened. Those easy dances with lollipops in the past are now impossible.
Obviously, the older they get, the less they dance. But the recent group songs are getting stronger and stronger, and even the dance of the last summer theme song will make people feel sore all over.
Yes, Girls' Generation is getting less and less able to dance. Powerful dance may be suitable for idols who have been exercising for a long time, such as Hyoyeon and Yuri, who are slightly better. But people like Jessica and Taeyeon who don't exercise much on weekdays, they take a break for a year or two, and they don't dance much during the break. It would be strange if their muscles don't ache when they suddenly return with high intensity.
Moreover, the profession of "idol" is not a long-term solution, so those who have learned acting have recently begun to frequently participate in interviews for roles in some TV dramas. It seems that they are continuing to work, but in fact they are all considering finding a suitable way out for themselves. When actors are older, they can still play the roles of mothers and grandmothers. As for idols, you can't be called a female idol in your thirties or forties and still sing and dance on the stage, right?
So now those who are suitable for acting have begun to develop towards the actor side. Of course, those who are suitable for singing, like Taeyeon, are moving towards the direction of singers. As for Jessica, she is of course willing to invest more time in her personal brand.
It was late at night in Seoul. The two of them were sleeping on the comfortable big bed in the bedroom. Jessica rested her head on Zhang Ping'an's arm and looked at the ceiling. At this time, because it was still a little hot, the quilt was only placed on the chest, and her naked upper body revealed her beautiful collarbone. In the quilt, Xika got one foot out of the quilt, and the other foot was placed on Zhang Pingan's leg.
After the fight was over, the two of them rested in a daze facing the ceiling. Until Xika's breathing became smooth, she retracted her legs outside the quilt, and then turned around and sandwiched one of Zhang Pingan's feet like a sandwich. She supported her head with one hand so that she could see Zhang Pingan's appearance better. The other hand was placed on his abdominal muscles, constantly stroking his "chocolate" abdominal muscles.
Zhang Pingan slightly turned sideways and looked at Xika's delicate features. He reached out and touched her face, then propped up his head and pecked her mouth: "Why are you propping up like this? Aren't you tired?"
Xika smiled sweetly and responded: "Well, I'm not tired. We haven't been together like this for a long time!"
When Zhang Pingan heard Xika's words, he whispered: "I'm sorry!"
Yes, they haven't been together for a long time. Obviously, Zhang Pingan can take time to take the initiative to find Xika as long as he misses her, but he didn't do that.
Listening to Zhang Ping'an's apology, Xika shook his head and said, "If you want to say sorry, it should be me. I'm too busy with work, and I have less time to spend with you, so I'm sorry! Now thinking back, I really don't know whether it's good or bad for me to create this brand?"
Zhang Ping'an completely turned sideways, and then he took the initiative to clamp Xika's straight legs between his legs, and then he put his arm around her waist: "There's nothing good or bad, you do it because you like it. No one forced you to develop a brand as your sideline,
Since you like it, then do it. And I also support you in developing this sideline brand."
Xika shook his head and said, "If I don't develop a brand, but stay with you seriously, what do you think we will be like now?"
Zhang Ping'an smiled lightly and said, "I don't know, I never imagine this. After all, we got in touch because of the brand. I still remember that your dream for the brand was infinite at that time. Why do I feel that you don't seem to have the same enthusiasm for your brand recently?"
In fact, after the dream is realized, the original "heat" will gradually fade away. This is just like when they were starting out as idols. At that time, all they wanted was to win the first place. But now, the first place trophy doesn’t move them too much.
And now Jessica’s brand has developed quite well. With the members of Girls’ Generation joining, they occasionally hand-paint some patterns on T-shirts and start selling them. With the addition of S.M., Jessica’s brand has also entered the company’s “peripheral” store for sale.
Cartoon portraits of Girls’ Generation members, T-shirts printed with Girls’ Generation’s logo, etc. have become a sales channel for Jessica’s brand.
Now Jessica’s brand is developing both online and offline, and it is developing smoothly at present. So as long as she doesn’t participate in promotions and stand-ups, she still has a certain amount of free time on weekdays.
It's just that her free time has always been different from Zhang Ping'an's. After all, besides being intimate with other women, Zhang Pingan also has his own career that he needs to be busy with. Especially from the end of last year to the beginning of this year... he was really busy at the TV station, so the two of them couldn't keep up with each other.
When he was busy, Sika rarely had some occasional rest. She couldn't let Zhang Pingan stay at home with her just because she was resting, right? And when he was resting, she went to work again, so the two of them seemed to be incompatible with each other in terms of time. So Sika had some ideas. If he didn't develop a brand, would he have more time with him?
Of course, all this is based on the idea that her brand has developed. Looking back, Sika spent countless efforts to realize its brand dream, and even almost got fooled!
At this time, Sika laughed when she listened to Zhang Ping'an talking about how she seemed to have lost her enthusiasm for the brand, because after thinking about it carefully, it was really like this. So she responded with a smile: "The brand was the biggest dream in my heart at the beginning, but the dream has come true, and the development is not bad. What I can do, it seems that I have returned to my original work status as an artist, so..."
Zhang Pingan understood what Sika wanted to express, and he said: "If you want to become an excellent designer, this path requires a certain amount of time to be certified. Most of the people who consume your brand now are fans. You have to start from Among personal fans, slowly cultivate brand fans. Maybe wait a few years until your brand design is recognized by more people, and then everyone will think of you as a fashion designer? Now, you still think of yourself as a fashion designer. 'Girls' Generation' is more common."
I have to admit that when people talk about 'Sika', the first thing that comes to mind is her aura of girlhood, not her personal brand. So Zhang Pingan's words are correct, but too direct!
Sika does not deny that it will take some time to cultivate consumers of its own brand. She pouted and said, "I know that too, so I'm thinking about quitting Girls' Generation next year?"
Zhang Pingan was silent for two seconds and then said: "I can't make a decision for you. I think it's better to wait and see. The time for contract renewal is getting closer, so that your members can make real choices. Now let's talk about this It’s a little too early, and this matter needs to be discussed by all of you. I definitely respect your choice, and I will support you unconditionally no matter what you choose!”
No matter what she chooses, Zhang Ping'an will support her behind her. Hasn't it always been like this for the past two years?
When Sika heard this, a sweet smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and then she took the initiative to kiss the corner of Zhang Pingan's mouth. The hand holding her head with one hand was also lowered at this time, and Sika lay gently in Zhang Pingan's arms. inside. And Zhang Pingan's hand passed through Sika's neck, stroking the smooth back of Sika who was sleeping on her side...
...
The night passed quietly. The next day, Zhang Pingan slowly opened his eyes according to his biological clock, while Sika was still sleeping comfortably next to him. The two actually lived together for a long time, especially in the early days of their public relationship. Sika spent every break at Zhang Pingan's house. After living together for a long time, Zhang Pingan also knew that Sika's sleep was very light, and the slightest movement would wake her up.
Zhang Ping'an wanted to withdraw his numb arm from under Sika's neck. Although the force he used was very light, Sika still opened his eyes.
Breakfast coffee, sausage, bacon, omelette, and a fruit salad. These are simple dishes. At this time, after washing up, Sika sat opposite Zhang Pingan with a happy smile on her lips: "I haven't had breakfast at home for a long time."
