Chapter 665 Good Looking

"What's going on?"

The sudden sound was deafening. When the noisy cheers came together, they could no longer be heard clearly. Only a muffled sound like thunder could be heard. Chi Jingyuan, the EXO members in the lounge, and even the other staff were all stunned for a moment. Several people frowned because of the eardrums vibrating due to the noise.

"Who is performing? Isn't this support a bit exaggerated?"

The EXO people have heard this kind of noise countless times and are very accustomed to it. They reacted quickly and looked at the direction of the stage where the sound came from. Kim Jong Dae raised his voice and asked in surprise.

The enthusiasm of the students during the university anniversary celebration was very high. Basically, no matter how popular the invited singers were, they would cheer for them as long as they were on stage. Some recent popular artists would arouse the audience's higher enthusiasm and get louder cheers. In addition, the backstage itself was not very soundproof, so it was normal to hear the noise in front of them. They had heard it many times when they were resting and preparing here in the afternoon, one round after another without interruption.

It was normal to have cheers, but it was a bit abnormal to have such loud cheers... and the sound was very sudden. It was obvious that something had happened and what scene had made the audience so excited.

"Whose stage is it now?"

Several people quieted down and tried to hear the music being played clearly, but unfortunately the cheers of the audience were so loud that they completely covered the music and the singer's voice. After listening for a while without any results and being shaken by the noise, Bian Baekhyun rubbed his ears and asked.

"According to the time on the program, it seems that Twice is performing now." An assistant next to him said uncertainly.

"Twice? They have so many fans in Yonsei?"

"No way, this support feels like a boy band."

Several members discussed with each other without believing it.

"..."Ji Jingyuan closed his eyes and listened carefully for a while, and finally distinguished some familiar melodies from the boiling sound, then opened his eyes and nodded: "It's Twice's performance, "Precious Love", a cover song included in the new album."

Although Twice has been very popular recently, most of the other members of EXO have probably only heard the title song, and they don't know a few of the included songs, but Ji Jingyuan is different. He listened to the entire album very carefully.

Although the final evaluation was average...

"Really?" Bian Baekhyun blinked.

"Not really, it feels like we may not encounter this kind of support when we go up. If it's "Cheer Up", it's fine, but what is "Precious... Love"? "

"I haven't heard it."

Several members of EXO are still very curious about this. Looking at them like this, it seems that if there is no stage to be performed later, they will probably rush out to see what is going on.

Because according to the volume and momentum, it felt like everyone in the audience was shouting, and it wasn't just the usual cheering, it was shouting very hard and passionately. Generally, only a very popular and powerful group, and singing a hit song, would have such shocking cheering and reaction.

Twice and "Cheer Up"... are part of this group, but "Precious Love" is a bit abrupt.

Chi Jingyuan shook his head and leaned back in his chair, becoming a little lazy.

Originally, I thought it was a group that contributed a wonderful or bizarre performance, or a bombshell scene like Kim Hyun-A kissing on the stage at MAMA.

After knowing that the cheering momentum was because of Twice's stage, for some reason he suddenly wasn't as curious as before, and sat there without continuing to participate in the discussion of other members, picking up his phone and casually browsing.

It was obvious that the audience's enthusiasm was not just that one. The subsequent cheers came in waves, but they were not as loud as the previous one. However, after a while, the sound of "cheer up" came, and the emotions of all the audience were brought up again. They actually started to sing together, especially when they were "shyshyshy", the sound was almost the same as the deafening sound at the beginning.

Hearing the continuous cheers, Chi Jingyuan in the lounge sighed softly, and even felt a sense of hatred for his juniors and seniors in Yonsei University.

As for shouting so loudly...

Have you never seen female idols?

Seeing a little girl like Tuwa can make you shout like this, if the seniors of Girls' Generation came, wouldn't you go crazy directly?

"Get ready to go on stage, check your earphones and clothes...

Half an hour later, it was finally EXO's turn to go on stage.

XO's popularity as a TOP group is unquestionable. Even if the tens of thousands of audience members are not their fans, they must have heard of their name and hit songs. Moreover, during the school anniversary celebration, students would privately compare the guest lineups invited by different schools. Inviting EXO to the school anniversary really made many Yonsei students feel proud.

More importantly, the innate good impression of their senior Chi Jingyuan made EXO receive the host treatment here. As soon as they appeared, all the student audiences cheered.

Chi Jingyuan stood on the stage, smiling and waving to the tens of thousands of spectators in the open-air auditorium, which was packed with people. In an instant, he received explosive screams in response, some shouting for Oppa, and some Some people call him Yuan, and some call him senior. As a current student here, his limelight directly overshadows the entire EXO group.

It’s a different feeling to stand on the stage of your school’s anniversary, perform in front of the juniors and girls from the same school, and enjoy their support and cheers, especially when you see everyone in the audience wearing blue school uniforms. Chi Jingyuan, who also wears the same school uniform, can't help but feel a sense of belonging and returning home in fine clothes.

Soon the prelude of "Fire" sounded, and with the drum beats building momentum, the EXO members who were squatting on the stage to take the opening pose stood up one by one. The last one, Chi Jingyuan, took a step forward and pointed in front of him. He started with a smile: "It's burning..."

The next second, along with the passionate electronic music, the entire audience shouted in unison:

"Fire..."

The new song "Fire" has an unexpectedly good effect in heating up the atmosphere at the venue. As EXO's prelude song this time, it directly ignited the temperature of the entire auditorium as the first stage.

"Burn everything!" EXO jumped up hard on the stage and used skilled jump steps to change positions. Chi Jingyuan stood firmly in the middle with his hands on both sides of his head. Just when he was about to shout out the next lyrics, the stage The students below have already loudly helped them sing the next line:

"Bow wow wow!"

While singing, most people also directly covered the part's iconic head-shaking dance, and it actually looked very neat. The order of head-shaking first left and then right was correct. When looking down from the stage, The scene of tens of thousands of people performing this action together is truly shocking.

Chi Jingyuan, who was sweating, was full of motivation under this enthusiastic support. He jumped and suddenly became distracted...

I don’t know how the people backstage feel when they hear this support...

This time EXO is still on stage with four songs, starting with the new song "Fire", followed by "Orientation Sniper" which is widely loved by college students and young people and must be sung on school anniversary, as well as the hit song "Boy with Love" and the finale of EXO The ultimate masterpiece "Roar".

EXO is still a little different. Even if there are many songs to perform, they can guarantee that each song is a hit song in the past or now. The melody of each song is familiar to everyone. As long as the melody comes out, it can almost cause the whole audience to sing. , don’t think about some groups also need to make some songs that no one has heard of, such as "Precious Love" and the like to fill up the time... I don’t know where the huge support just now came from.

"Huh, uh..."

The nearly 20-minute performance ended successfully. After EXO came off the stage, they walked towards the backstage. Chi Jingyuan was the first one, panting and dancing to four songs in a row. It was really a very special performance. It was a torturous job, especially the dance music that consumed a lot of physical energy. If it weren't for "Orientation Sniper", a song with no choreography that could restore his physical strength by paddling, he would still be a little more persistent on the last stage. Not coming down.

"Thanks for your hard work……"

When he walked into the lounge, he was immediately greeted by the staff. He took a bottle of water handed over by the assistant and took two sips. After sitting on the chair for a few minutes, he finally took a breath. Chi Jingyuan drank the water and put it down. Aquarius glanced left and right, and when he was about to say something, he saw two assistants next to him looking at something on a mobile phone.

"Brother, what are you looking at?" Chi Jingyuan asked curiously, feeling that the eyes of the two assistants were a little wide open and their expressions seemed a little strange.

"Look at Tzuyu xi's direct shot. It's the reason for the exaggerated support just now. It has been uploaded to YouTube." The assistant immediately looked up and explained after hearing this.

"That sound just now was the audience cheering for Zhou Ziyu?" Chi Jingyuan opened his mouth slightly and asked in surprise.

"Yes, we just went out to ask about it. It's an impressive killing part."

"haha."

After finding out the whole story, Chi Jingyuan shook his head, paused and chuckled. He took out his mobile phone and logged into YouTube. He searched for it and found the video he had uploaded not long ago and clicked on it.

It's just that although he wanted to see what kind of "impressive killing part" Zhou Ziyu was and got such enthusiastic support, he still couldn't help but pick a thorn in his heart out of habit.

What's there to see about a black girl from Tainan? If you've ever seen her looking so cheesy before...

‘…’

Just as he was thinking about it, the video started to play. After his scrutinizing eyes swept up, his eyes paused for a moment.

Looking at the screen as the camera advances, a close-up of Zhou Ziyu standing in the center of the stage amid the loud cheers of tens of thousands of people, with flowing black hair, a bright smile, and a pair of big eyes that are constantly shining like black gems. .

Chi Jingyuan blinked, and the complaints in his heart suddenly stopped.

It seems a bit pretty...

It seems like it's really a little different from before...

…………

Twice is a popular girl group nowadays. After the Yonsei University anniversary video was uploaded to YouTube, the number of views increased very quickly. In the video, their amazing popularity and exaggerated support during the anniversary were hotly discussed by many people, especially the close-up shot of Zhou Ziyu that caused cheers from the audience. It was directly searched in the entertainment section the next day along with # EXO anniversary, # EXO support and other terms.

Interestingly, Zhou Ziyu only has this part in the song "Precious Love", but it was this part that made the whole audience agitated.

Zhou Ziyu has been the most popular member of Twice since her debut. Even though she returned with "Cheer Up" this time, people like Minato Saki Sana have caught up a lot, but her popularity has not been affected. On the contrary, it has a trend of rising.

People in the Peninsula seem to be very fond of Zhou Ziyu's looks. They like her very much. All kinds of praises are hung on her. Whenever Twice appears on variety shows, they will almost give her a special close-up shot. It has almost become a trend.

On the afternoon of the 22nd, Chi Jingyuan received a text message from Zhou Ziyu. She habitually talked about topics like "good weather", "very tired", "didn't sleep well", and finally exposed her true intention: "By the way, did you watch YouTube today?"

In fact, Chi Jingyuan roughly saw her purpose when she sent the first text message. Sure enough, after a while, she made a somewhat arrogant hint. He replied very coldly in silence: "No, I don't have time."

I watched it, it's pretty good, but I just don't want to praise you.

For Chi Jingyuan, compared with this straight shot, he thinks Zhou Ziyu wrinkled her nose, turned her face and looked angry but a little cowardly is the most interesting.

Just like how she looks now after seeing this text message...

After the last first place trophy of "Inkigayo" on the 22nd was awarded to EXO, the first places of the three music programs this week were all decided. Although the win of "Music Bank" on Friday was a little thrilling, EXO still ruthlessly interrupted Twice's domination of the first place of the three major channels for more than half a month in the second week of the pre-release song return and won three first places of its own.

The previous three major music programs refer to KBS, MBC, SBS's "Music Bank", "Music Core" and "Inkigayo". These three music programs are the most convincing and valuable. However, since the second half of last year, MBC's "Music Core" has cancelled the first place system and turned into a pure stage show. Mnet's "M! Countdown" has filled the position and become the new three first places.

At present, they have won six first places, and their popularity is still very good. They are about to win the championship and get their first three crowns. As a result, they were directly cut off by EXO.

So for fans, although the score is not much, they can still show such strength in the face of such a big hit song "Cheer Up". The gold content of the three first places of EXO and "Fire" is still very sufficient.

Twice did not win three consecutive championships, which made many fans sigh. However, SM has announced that EXO will only participate in this week's promotion for the upcoming regular album, and will not come next week. This news also ignited hope for the onces. Other competitors in the same period are very average. As long as a monster like EXO finishes the promotion, their "Cheer Up" is still very likely to continue to be strong and get more first places.

The most interesting thing is that Twcie has been too dominant in the promotion during this period, and coupled with the very strong EXO who came from behind, there is almost no suspense about the first place of the three major channels after entering May. At the same time, because these two groups do not go to small channels to promote songs, it is very interesting that the competitiveness of the two small channels "The Show" and "Show Champion" has suddenly become much stronger.

Artists like Seventeen, Hwang Miyoung, VIXX, and Lovelyz who returned at the same time were forced to go to small channels to compete for a spot, and now AOA has also joined in...

The promotion period of EXO's "Fire" ends this week. After two weeks of releasing the song, there were only three stages for the song. Although it seems a bit perfunctory, the results are very good, not inferior to the main songs of most other boy groups. There is even a trend of explosion on YouTube, which can be regarded as a perfect completion of its mission as a pre-release song.

SM also released the first wave of concept photos of the regular third album "EX'ACT" on the same day that the promotion of "Fire" ended, and announced that the pre-sale channel would be opened in three days.

…………

"Did Sulli also call you for dinner?"

In a private room of an Italian restaurant in Mapo District, Zheng Xiujing stirred the thick soup in front of her with a spoon but didn't drink it. At the same time, she glanced at Ji Jingyuan across from her and asked casually.

FX's three-day concert ended successfully. Chi Jingyuan, who had previously agreed to have dinner and chat with him backstage, also took time to come tonight.

Actually, he just said it casually at the time, but Zheng Xiujing called him in the afternoon, so since he had said it, he would not break the appointment.

Their three shows attracted more than 12,000 spectators in total, and the fans and audiences gave them very good reviews. The number of spectators may be a little less than that of a boy band like XO, but the venue prepared by SM is indeed a bit conservative, and it is actually quite good for a girl band.

I heard that the next show in Neon will directly attract tens of thousands of people.

"Tomorrow..." Chi Jingyuan nodded in reply.

He skillfully cut twice with a knife, skewered a piece of steak with a fork and fed it to his mouth. Zheng Xiujing didn't eat much, but he ate very naturally.

As he said, he added a sentence while looking up at the opposite side: "It was originally today, but you were in a hurry to film, so I told her to change it to tomorrow. It just so happened that we finished the activities of the pre-release song, and there are not many schedules in the next few days..."

Today, Zheng Xiujing was dressed very tastefully, with a pure white shirt, the collar buttons were not fastened, and the white skin attracted people's attention to extend downwards, matched with black casual pants with flared legs, and a pair of high heels, she looked quite mature.

She is one of the women who can wear the simplest and most selective clothes, such as white shirts, with the most sense in Chi Jingyuan's impression.

"So she is not angry?" Zheng Xiujing paused while stirring the thick soup, looked over and asked with certainty.

Hearing her say this, Chi Jingyuan waved his hand with an expression of speaking for a close friend: "How could it be, Sulli is very considerate and rarely gets angry."

"Heh..." With an undisguised sneer, Zheng Xiujing rolled her eyes at him with contempt, curled her lips and didn't say anything else, but the meaning was already expressed very clearly through her eyes.

The relationship between you youngest line is really good...

Seeing her expression, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Knowing Choi Sulli's personality, he certainly knew that he was talking nonsense, but his close friend of the same age did show a lot of consideration in front of him... After swallowing the steak, he smiled at Zheng Xiujing: "By the way, you..."

Just before he finished speaking, the phone in his pocket vibrated.

Putting down his knife and fork, Chi Jingyuan took out his cell phone and saw a new text message...from Bae Joo Hyun.
