Chapter 657 You Are so Childish
Soon it was the encore stage and all the artists started to salute each other and prepare to leave. Ji Jingyuan followed the EXO members next to him and saluted the idols around him, then walked slowly in line towards the stage stairs. Just after walking two steps, several Twice members who were saluting other idols saw EXO and Ji Jingyuan. After poking each other to notify the members, they all turned towards him and bowed to him several times in a row, with a sincere expression of gratitude.
They got a place again and several people looked very happy. Kim Da Hyun and Minato Saki Sana grinned brightly. Ming Jingnan smiled and raised her eyebrows slightly at Ji Jingyuan after their eyes met. Zhou Ziyu, who seemed to be in a bad mood before, also smiled at him, and Lin Nayeon held a trophy and bowed in a standard way.
Seeing them do this, Chi Jingyuan, who was originally lazily preparing to line up and walk off the stage under the gaze of the camera and the audience, also stopped to return the greeting. Many audiences in the audience also saw that Twice was interacting and thanking the producer of their title song. The screams of fans and the satisfied laughter of Aili were one after another, which was even more lively than when the first place was awarded just now.
Chi Jingyuan returned the greetings to several people in a row, and then he walked off the stage faster after waving his hands to the smiling people.
These people just wanted to see him bow...
Originally, when facing the bows of juniors, they just nodded in private, but on the stage, they must be more formal... He saw through the scheming of some people at a glance.
However, it feels good to have a group of pretty girls bow to you sincerely and kindly in front of so many people...
"Twice is really popular, I.O.I is no match for them."
After waiting for a while at the studio entrance and thanking the staff, all EXO members returned to the lounge and began to pack up and leave, still discussing Twice who had just won a very glorious position.
The members who had supported I.O.I's debut and knocked over Tuwasi because they liked watching "101" changed their positions after finding out that it was impossible. For example, Bian Baekhyun, who had previously clamored that I.O.I would be popular after its debut, was so skilled in being "shyshyshy" when he saw the real person.
"Cheer Up" is still very popular. If nothing unexpected happens, they will take all the first place in several major TV stations this week... Jingyuan is so pessimistic, but the girl group song he wrote casually is so good?"
"...Next week it will be our turn to promote the song. We won't be knocked out by them, right..." Jin Junmyeon said with a smile.
"It's possible..."
"Will we lose face then?"
"Haha...I really want to see Jingyuan's expression when that happens."
Several people around him immediately started to make a fuss, but although they said so, everyone actually had a smile on their faces, and they didn't seem to be worried at all.
"If we really can't beat them, we'll leave Di Guang on the stage and let him dance to the encore 'shyshyshy' with them..." Wu Sehun came up with a sinister idea.
"Hahaha, don't say it, the dance 'shyshyshy' seems to be choreographed by Jingyuan. It's quite suitable to say that. It will definitely be on the hot search..." The people around him laughed immediately.
Hearing Wu Se-hun's expectant tone, Chi Jingyuan really felt that the idea of 'kick him out and replace him' that he had talked to Zhou Ziyu about before was not wrong.
However... Chi Jingyuan thought about the scene of himself singing an encore with Twice on the stage. Let's not talk about the fans' reaction, the scene should be quite interesting.
Unfortunately, this scene is destined to be seen. Even though Twice has suddenly become popular with "Cheer Up" recently and has attracted many fans to become the new darling of the music industry, there is still a fundamental gap between their popularity, popularity, fan base, and national popularity and EXO, which became the top group of this generation last year.
In addition, the boy group is inherently in a strong position. Even if it is just a pre-release song with little publicity and no sales, it is impossible for them to lose to them in the first week of the song promotion. Instead, the ones from Tuwas should be worried about whether they can still win their three consecutive championships after EXO joins the song promotion.
Although they are very popular recently, Twice is still in the rookie stage. According to the general rules, they need to go through at least several very successful comebacks and a period of fan accumulation, plus the company's hard work and cooperation to get close to EXO's current level.
But that said, it's not certain that the next comeback will be a mess.
Chi Jingyuan made a malicious guess in his heart, put on his bag and followed the big group out.
"Let's go, let's go eat first, there are still programs to record in the evening..."
...
With so many comebacks and solo artists debuting, today's issue of "M! Countdown" has attracted a lot of attention. Not to mention anything else, Huang Miying alone has attracted strong attention from fans of both Girls' Generation and Jessica Jung. The two families, who are already mortal enemies, are extremely concerned about the situation of the other family and desperately want to step on each other's heads in this head-on collision.
However, the most discussed is naturally the first stage of EXO's "Fire". Many charms and details of this electronic dance music with high choreography difficulty cannot be seen in the MV.
"Aaaaah, great! It really didn't surprise me. The live stage was much more impressive than the MV. Every member was so handsome. Chanyeol and Sehun's raps were so impressive! The captain's solo in the middle was also great! Xiumin's look was so good! What kind of god is Kai? The strength of his dance. The harder the choreography, the better he performs... And Yuan, I, ahhhh..."
"Indeed, he was already very handsome before. The dance position really made my scalp numb. After the dancers came on stage, the momentum suddenly rose several levels. I can only say that EXO is worthy of being EXO. A pre-release song has completely defeated other boy bands' title songs."
"The background built is really amazing. It fits the style of the song "Fire" very well... Are they not worried about the flames next to them burning them when they perform?
"Did you see the scene where Twice saluted and thanked Yuan before the encore? I used to hate them, but when I saw this scene, I suddenly changed my mind about them...
"It's what they deserve! Now that they are so popular, they should give some praise to our Jingyuan Oppa! Especially the bucktoothed Lim Nayeon!"
"Ah, it seems that Oppas only have this one stage to promote their songs this week, right? Such a handsome stage is not enough, it's uncomfortable..."
"..."
"How is the evaluation?"
"Not bad..."
Chi Jingyuan, who was eating with the members in a Korean restaurant next to SBS, put down his phone and replied to Kim Junmyeon who asked him.
This time, "Fire" is a new attempt for EXO in terms of style and difficulty of choreography. Especially for EXO, whose members have uneven dancing skills, this kind of difficult choreography is really challenging.
But now it seems that the effect is really good. Not only are the fans satisfied, but even many passers-by gave good comments after watching the stage. Sure enough, the boy group's dance music still puts effort in the stage and choreography.
Even though the subsequent sound sources of this kind of song may not be very good, as a pre-release song, they have actually achieved the warm-up goal in the Peninsula. Now it depends on whether they can continue to expand EXO's popularity and influence in the overseas market through this style of dance music as SM wants.
However, compared with the audience's evaluation of EXO's stage, Chi Jingyuan found something more interesting on the Internet. He saw a lot of comments and posts about Huang Meiying's solo debut stage, and the titles alone were very exciting.
"Perfect stage, so cool" "Awesome European and American style, really suitable for Tiffany" "The second girl's generation member who successfully debuted solo after Taeyeon!" "It's really the passionate California girl Stephanie"
"Hahaha what the hell" "Laughing to death, that's it? 》《It's so ugly, I didn't even remember the song after watching the performance》《Does SM not think highly of her? I feel that her solo song is more than one level lower than Kim Taeyeon》《It turns out that she is a scheming girl with a big voice who clings to Kim Taeyeon's thighs and gets crazy popularity and then leaves the team and shows her true colors》
Just seeing the title made Chi Jingyuan laugh. The completely polarized title and evaluation made Chi Jingyuan think that these were not evaluations of the same person and the same stage.
Alas, the former sone is now split like this, which makes Chi Jingyuan feel a little heartbroken.
"Jingyuan..."
Just when he was a little sad, he suddenly heard Kim Junmyeon sitting opposite him calling him.
"Huh?" Suppressing the melancholy in his heart, Chi Jingyuan put down his phone and looked up at the captain: "What's wrong, brother?"
"You have been a producer for Twice for so long, you should have exchanged contact information with them?" Kim Junmyeon asked tentatively, and several members next to him also looked over. Obviously, he was not the only one who wanted to ask this question.
"Yes."
"Please help introduce them and exchange contact information?"
"Contact information? Whose contact information do you want... I'll ask for you."
Chi Jingyuan glanced at Kim Junmyeon, and then glanced at Kim Jong-in and others who seemed to be expecting something. He didn't refuse, but nodded and asked.
If the seniors asked the juniors for their phone numbers, most of the Twice members would definitely not refuse, let alone EXO, even other ordinary boy and girl groups would be similar, after all, it's just a contact information.
However, Chi Jingyuan didn't think it was a good idea to give the phone number directly, so he still had to ask the girl's opinion.
"Sana, MOMO, Jeongyeon, and Nayeon, yes, especially Nayeon." Kim Junmyeon said several names in a row.
Seeing this brother talking for a long time, Chi Jingyuan looked up speechlessly: "Brother, what are you doing?"
Feeling that Chi Jingyuan's eyes were a little wrong, Jin Junmyeon immediately reacted and waved his hand: "Just getting to know each other, what are you thinking... Do you think I am the same as you?"
"We?"
Hearing this word, Chi Jingyuan paused for a moment, followed Jin Junmyeon's eyes, and immediately saw Wu Sehun and Park Chanyeol who happened to be sitting on the same side of the table with him, and instantly understood what he meant.
"Ani..."
Chi Jingyuan immediately waved his hand quickly, and at the same time, he moved his chair to the side and made a harsh noise, and very firmly drew a line between them: "I am not with them."
"Hahaha..." A burst of laughter made the box lively all of a sudden, but Park Chanyeol and Wu Sehun were very calm. They glanced at Ji Jingyuan in sync, and then smiled disdainfully.
"Wait..." Ji Jingyuan didn't bother to pay attention to this group of people who had no taste. He picked up his phone and operated it while casually saying: "Do you all think Lin Nayeon is pretty?"
"Very cute, don't you think? She is the most recognizable one in Twice, and her personality is also said to be very likable."
"I think Tzuyu is the most beautiful, help me ask for her number."
"I also think Tzuyu, and Mina..."
Hearing the sudden appearance of several names, Ji Jingyuan paused, frowned and glanced at the people who were making trouble, put his phone on the table, picked up the spoon and started eating:
"Don't ask, ask for it yourself. ”
…………
“During the program recorded this afternoon, I always thought the camera was right in front of us, and I was looking at it the whole time. But it turned out to be on the side. When I was asked to greet the audience at the end, I just walked past it. Everyone was laughing, which made me very, very embarrassed.”
Chi Jingyuan was sitting on the bed in the dormitory, chatting with Zhou Ziyu via text messages.
EXO separated after having dinner and filming two programs. One group of people went to SBS to record a radio program, and another group returned to the dormitory first. He went to the company's music room to organize the songs and just came back from the company.
After releasing the song, it is considered to be the comeback period. However, as a pre-release song, SM did not arrange many promotional schedules for "Fire", which were mostly interviews and other activities. However, the first few days were still very busy, and the daily schedule was quite full, but it was not so busy that I had to record the program all night.
But more of the big things, such as variety show autograph sessions, were all left on the regular album.
Not long after returning, I received a text message from Zhou Ziyu, talking about today's "M! Countdown" recording program.
The girl's tone seemed normal, and she didn't look as bad as Chi Jingyuan felt in the afternoon.
"I always thought you were pretending to be stupid, but you are really stupid?" Although I didn't watch the broadcast of that program, I felt a little embarrassed just imagining that scene. Facing Zhou Ziyu who was somewhat willing to seek comfort, Chi Jingyuan curled his lips and replied mercilessly.
"I'm not stupid! You are stupid! Who knew that the camera lens would be placed there? We can't shoot all nine of us from that place, and can only shoot half of the people. Normally, the camera would not be placed there, okay?"
Not only did she not get comfort, but she was also ridiculed, which made Zhou Ziyu obviously a little angry, and tried to refute herself in a fierce tone.
"You are just stupid."
"You are stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid!!"
Feeling that the little girl was already a little hysterical, Chi Jingyuan laughed and lowered his head to continue to vent his anger: "You were so sincere when you were on stage in the afternoon, but you became like this after you got off the stage. You don't respect your seniors at all. I think I see through you, Ziyuxi, you are really a two-faced person."
"I'm not! Why do you say that?" The feeling of grievance was almost revealed in the text.
"You are you are you are you are you are you are you!!!" Chi Jingyuan smiled happily and quickly typed on the screen in the tone of the other party.
Just now, Zhou Ziyu, who seemed to be about to break down, suddenly changed her tone and said something with extreme disgust.
"Tsk, you are so childish."
Seeing this reply made Chi Jingyuan stunned for a moment. He was actually fooled by a little kid?
Just when he was thinking about what to say to make up for the loss, Zhou Ziyu suddenly sent another message after ten seconds, "Are you and, Zhou... Pinky, close?"
Chi Jingyuan paused for a moment when he looked at the message, and suddenly realized that he probably understood how Zhou Ziyu's emotions in the afternoon came from.
She probably asked this question after a long journey. She is really young but thoughtful.
He thought about it, and when he was about to reply, his phone suddenly vibrated. A call came in. He looked down and found that it was Wu Shixun who called.
At this time, there were not many members in the EXO dormitory. There were only three or four people including him, and he was the only one in their dormitory. Do Kyungsoo had a promotion to run, and Wu Sexun went to record the SBS radio station with Park Chanyeol and others, and he has not returned yet.
"What's wrong?" Chi Jingyuan asked casually after answering the phone.
"Are you in the dormitory?" Wu Sexun asked in a normal voice and very naturally.
"Yes."
"Okay, that's fine. We're going to do a V live broadcast in a while and connect with you. Get ready. Don't be naked."
"Connect, what's the theme?" Of course, he couldn't refuse the members' live broadcast. Chi Jingyuan adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose and agreed directly.
"Just talk about the album and do some promotion."
"What time?"
"Let me see, around 11:50."
Chi Jingyuan looked at the time. It was already past 11:40, and there were less than ten minutes left.
"Alaso, I know." He nodded, lowered his head and took a look at his clothes. The short-sleeved shorts were very homely, so he didn't need to change them specially.
"We'll be back soon. Do you want us to bring some midnight snacks?" There was a very low rustling sound from the other end of the phone, as if someone next to him reminded him, and then Wu Se-hun asked very righteously.
"Midnight snacks? Just bring something."
"OK, waiting."
After hanging up the phone, Chi Jingyuan exhaled, stood up and straightened his wrinkled collar a little, glanced at the text message from Zhou Ziyu that was still on the screen, thought about it and didn't reply directly.
Although he was very familiar with the album promotion, he could say it easily, but since he was going to connect to the live broadcast, it would be better to prepare a little.
Just when Chi Jingyuan was planning what to say later, the agreed time came soon. He put his phone next to him and prepared to answer the call. However, after waiting for half a day, the time had passed, and when it was about to reach midnight, there was no movement from the phone or Wu Se-hun.
"What's going on..."
Just when Chi Jingyuan felt something was wrong and a light bulb went off in his head, the door of the dormitory was suddenly pushed open with a bang, and the sudden loud noise startled him.
The next second, several EXO members rushed in from outside, and the leader was holding a cake in his hand. Several people looked at Chi Jingyuan with a mean smile like robbers, and shouted loudly while making a noise:
"Oh oh oh oh oh oh..."
"Birthday card!"
