Chapter 686 The Day of Disbandment
"...We started filming two days ago, which is about the same time as your return. I have remembered everything you told me before. Today the PD even praised me for my acting talent, hahaha...
By the way, have you seen the photo I just sent to you? It’s my look in the play this time. Because of the role setting, I will wear retro round-framed glasses in the look, like It's the Harry Potter kind. After watching it, they all said it looks very good. Hmm... Do you want me to wear it next time? "
Bae Zhuhyun's tone sounded very clear. The filming of her online drama had started two days ago. It was obviously her first time to be exposed to filming, which made her feel very novel, and she could hear that she was in a good mood.
Moreover, since the "Dream Concert" at the beginning of the month, the two of them were busy with their own affairs and have not seen each other again. Now when I called my boyfriend on the phone, my tone couldn't help but have a sweet flavor.
But Chi Jingyuan didn't know whether he heard it clearly or not, so he simply responded. It seemed that due to the sleeping roommate next to him, his voice was still very low: "Okay."
"..."
She clearly felt that her father was weak and sounded like he was about to fall asleep. Pei Zhuxuan's lively tone just now dropped instantly. After a pause, she seemed to understand what was going on immediately, and her tone was quite concerned and tentative. He asked softly: "Are you very tired these days? Have you gone to bed already?"
"Um."
His mind seemed to be still working, and Chi Jingyuan responded dully.
At this time, the whole room was dark, and the sounds of long breathing and even snoring from the other two roommates could be heard nearby. After finishing the live broadcast of "Inkigayo" today to relax, they went to record an interview and a variety show, and finally made a radio station. They didn't get back from get off work until early in the morning. If it weren't for the fact that the radio station was visible, there was a lens Chi Jingyuan was probably about to fall asleep as he kept filming.
It was already very late when I came back. I had to get up early tomorrow because I had to go to Busan for a book signing. The three of them just took a shower after coming back and fell asleep without even having a daily chat. Chi Jingyuan just woke up in a hazy state. When I received the call, I didn't even bother to run to the balcony to make a call. I just lay on the bed and answered the call, half asleep and half awake.
"Then you should take a rest quickly, let's not talk anymore... we will talk after you two have some time to relax." Pei Zhuxuan felt a little distressed, and stopped pestering her father about filming, and spoke quickly and was about to hang up.
"Um……"
A response came, and after two more breaths, she seemed a little reluctant to give up, but still took the initiative to hang up the phone.
Chi Jingyuan actually didn't know when he hung up. He kept the phone next to his head for a while, then he threw it to the side, changed his position and fell asleep.
…
In the afternoon of the next day, the first floor of LOTTE Department Store in Busan’s Busan-dong was already overcrowded. As soon as I looked at it, there were all kinds of fans holding banners and supporting slogans, as well as passers-by who came to join in the fun after seeing the movement, because upstairs At this time, EXO's first autograph session in Busan after their comeback is being held. Fans who did not get a spot still gathered here to try to see if they have a chance to see their idols.
They are a TOP group, and the popularity of their comeback has exploded again. EXO's first signing event in Busan really attracted a lot of fans and passers-by. At a glance, EXO's promotional posters were hung in many places, and the whole place There are overlapping figures everywhere on the building. There are huge crowds of people, and all kinds of sounds come together to create a lot of agitation, which makes people’s ears buzz. The flow of people in the entire shopping mall suddenly doubled today, which is not a holiday. How many times.
Even because autograph sessions for various artists are often held here, the experienced security guards were a little frightened when they saw this scene to maintain order, but they couldn't help complaining in their hearts:
"Xiba, why are there so many people? Other people's autograph sessions didn't have this kind of scene before. Is that boy band so popular..."
At this time, Chi Jingyuan was sitting in a row with the members on the stage of the signing hall on the second floor. The chat and interaction session just now was over. At this time, he was keeping a gentle smile and giving it to every fan who came in front of him. Sign your name and have a few words by the way.
Although I have been very tired these past few days and I didn’t have a good rest last night. I got up early in the morning. However, I caught up on some sleep in the car and before the autograph session, so I am in good spirits now.
Chi Jingyuan, who often hangs out online and is involved in many of his fan clubs and even post bars, knows very well that he and EXO fans are very much looking forward to and excited to attend the autograph session to meet idols, and because there are not many places, every opportunity is actually for him. Their fans are very precious to them. The night before they came, they were so excited that they couldn't sleep. Therefore, every time he held a signing event, he paid great attention to the fans present and would maintain the best mental outlook.
"I came to today's autograph signing with my father-in-law."
At this time, it was Chi Jingyuan's turn to be a cute girl. She seemed to be in her mid-twenties. Her face was a little round, but she looked very delicate and had a soft temperament.
She stood in front of Chi Jingyuan and handed the album to Chi Jingyuan. She looked at her idol with a pair of eyes greedily while speaking actively in a soft voice.
"Oh? Did both of you get the autograph? Is your husband also a fan of ours?" Chi Jingyuan took the album and skillfully picked up the pen and was about to sign it. He was a little surprised and looked up.
Feeling Chi Jingyuan's eyes, the girl smiled beautifully, took out a small mirror that had been prepared for a long time from her pocket, opened it and pointed it at Chi Jingyuan: "Here, look!"
"Giggle..." Chi Jingyuan looked at himself in the mirror and was stunned for a moment. Before he could react, the fan laughed happily, sounding very happy and proud.
After she laughed, Chi Jingyuan couldn't hold it back for a moment. He stopped holding the pen, lowered his head and laughed.
After laughing for a while and looking at the fans who were dancing happily, Chi Jingyuan pretended to be worried and asked: "When you go to someone else's place to sign, don't you say the same thing?"
"An Dao! How is that possible?" The girl immediately raised her right hand to swear: "The only man in my heart is Oppa."
"Ha, then I'll be very happy." Chi Jingyuan laughed again, quickly signed the autograph and returned the album to the girl, then looked at her and blinked: "Actually, if you really can do it next time I would be happier if I brought my boyfriend with me to the autograph signing.”
"Then he might not be very happy, KKKKK..." The girl understood the meaning, covered her mouth and snickered a few times, and reluctantly shook her hand goodbye to Chi Jingyuan.
After bidding farewell to this interesting female fan, after signing a few people, he felt someone else was in front of him. Chi Jingyuan lowered his head to pack his things, and at the same time said hello: "Hello."
"Hello Oppa."
He raised his head when he heard the voice, because the fan was speaking Chinese.
"Xia Guoren?" Chi Jingyuan blinked and naturally switched to Chinese and asked.
"Yes, Oppa, I'm from Xia Guochuan Province. I came here specifically to watch XO's comeback." This mainland female fan looks like she is in her mid-twenties. She has a delicate face and beautiful makeup. She looks pretty. At this time, he was staring at Chi Jingyuan with eyes full of excitement, his eyes filled with uncontrollable excitement and excitement: "Wow, Oppa, your Chinese is really good, your Mandarin is even better than mine. !”
Chi Jingyuan noticed that her fisted hands were trembling a little, and his voice slowed down a bit, and he took the initiative to try to ease her mood: "Because I have lived there for several years... Sichuan Province? That's quite far away. Well, speaking of which, I really like Sichuan food..."
When the female fan heard this, she immediately interrupted excitedly and said, "I know, Oppa likes our hot pot very much!"
Chi Jingyuan smiled: "When did you come? By the way, what is your name?"
"My name is Liu Zilu... We came here three days ago, specifically to watch Oppa's comeback stage. Unfortunately, we didn't get a ticket for the three singing competitions, so we could only watch outside the TV station. If we hadn't gotten the autograph signing today, , it’s hard to come to the peninsula and I probably won’t see Oppa.”
"Why are you called Oppa? I feel like you are older than me, Zilu."
"Ha, that's what they are called." She looked a little embarrassed, but her mood was obviously slightly relieved.
"The probability of getting one during our autograph signing is actually very low. If you can get one, it means it's fate. You won't be disappointed when you come to the peninsula this time."
"Yes, I'm really excited. There are three of us who came here together, and I was the only one who got the autograph. The two of them are still waiting outside." Liu Zilu was so happy when she mentioned this, she clenched her fists and waved them twice. .
Obviously she is a girl with a relatively cheerful and outgoing personality, but she is a little uncomfortable in front of Chi Jingyuan.
Hearing this, Chi Jingyuan paused, and after thinking about it for a moment, he took the initiative to ask: "Then what are the names of your two friends? I'll sign a TO signature for them too. I can't let them run away from such a far away place in vain. One trip.”
"Really?" Liu Zilu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked in disbelief. Seeing Chi Jingyuan's expression, he quickly said in surprise: "One is called Li Xun, with the word "Wang" next to the word "Xun" and "Late Xun". There is one named..."
Chi Jingyuan tore two pieces of note paper from the side and signed them. As he was writing, Liu Zilu kept saying: "Wow, Oppa Jingyuan is really... They will definitely be happy after seeing it. Ahhhh, how come they are so lucky... By the way, Oppa, do you know about the Xun fans and Chan fans in the Mainland who raised funds to order 200,000 albums? "
"Yes, I heard about it."
"It's not just them, our Yuan Bar is also having activities this time, but for the sake of the album's stamina and ranking, we won't place an order together... That is to say, they made a bigger noise in the past two days. In fact, our Yuanqi statistics show that the winning and losing ratio They are much taller and will definitely give Oppa a surprise!”
Much taller than them? Wu Sehun and Park Chanyeol placed orders for more than 200,000 yuan in total. How much higher is it?
"Uh..." Chi Jingyuan's first reaction was to say that it was too expensive and not necessary... but after thinking about it, he first showed a surprised expression, and then smiled sheepishly: "Thank you very much for the support from mainland fans...but actually you don't need that much, just listen to more songs."
"Don't worry, Oppa, these are all of our own free will..." Liu Zilu patted her chest and said that Chi Jingyuan didn't have to worry, and then she didn't know whether she was talking to him or talking excitedly to herself. She muttered: "If they knew that I got the chance to sign a book signing, they would be jealous to death of chatting with Oppa Jingyuan at such a close distance... They had no idea that Oppa was so good. I must show off when I go back... …”
Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but smile when he looked at the mainland female fan who was getting excited again.
The enthusiasm of fans is like this. While it is touching, it is also a bit overwhelming...
After the two autograph sessions, although their hands were a little sore from signing, Ji Jingyuan and all the EXO members were still very excited to be able to interact with fans so closely and feel their unreserved support.
After finishing today's schedule, they did not return to Seoul directly, because they had another group schedule in Busan tomorrow morning. Under the arrangement of the company, they simply stayed in a hotel in Busan today. At the same time, there were no more schedules for the rest of the day, which was considered a small vacation.
After the autograph session, it was already evening, and they could finally take a short break. The big group would make too much noise, so the nine EXO members split into several groups to eat together, and Ji Jingyuan followed Wu Sehun and Do Kyungsoo out. The three roommates of line went to the restaurant to eat first, and then disguised themselves a little. At the suggestion of Wu Sehun, they came to Jangjiandong, Geumjeong District, a famous university town shopping street in Busan, and planned to take this time to stroll around and eat something.
Although they were disguised, their figures and temperaments were indeed somewhat conspicuous. Chi Jingyuan and his friends were also prepared to be recognized. Fortunately, in private, when not in activities, Peninsula fans were still very restrained when chasing stars. Many fans knew not to disturb the private lives of idols. As long as they were not too crazy, they would not disturb them even if they were recognized. Most of them would just look at them and take pictures.
Walking on the pedestrian street, Chi Jingyuan looked at the shops and roads on both sides with great interest. He just passed by two personalized and diverse ITEM bonded clothes and famous brand discount stores. The atmosphere of youth and youth can be seen everywhere.
They have come to Busan many times for activities, but they don’t have much time to play. There are no Busan people in EXO, so they are not particularly familiar with it.
After walking for a while in this well-known university town pedestrian street, Chi Jingyuan felt that it was actually not much different from Seoul and Hongdae. It was younger and more lively.
"There are so many things. What should I buy?"
After walking for a while, they passed a section of the road with several snack shops on both sides. Various aromas filled their noses, and Wu Se-hun stopped with some intention.
Chi Jingyuan and the other person also stopped. He looked around and seemed to have thought of something while thinking. He pointed to the store on the left: "Stir-fried rice cakes."
After that, he walked over there.
"I'm in Busan and still eat stir-fried rice cakes? Don't be so rustic." Wu Se-hun complained and followed behind with Do Kyung-soo: "I don't eat stir-fried rice cakes. I want to eat something else..."
"Also, when did you like to eat stir-fried rice cakes?"
"Now."
Without queuing, the three of them walked slowly on the road with their own food. Wu Se-hun and Do Kyung-soo bought some local Busan seafood specialties, while Chi Jingyuan took a box of stir-fried rice cakes with hot sauce, and fed it into his mouth with a skewer while walking and tasting it.
It's just average, the taste is the same. I can't make anything fancy with fried rice cakes. I don't know why some people like to eat them so much. Every time I eat them, my cheeks are round like a hamster, and people even feel jealous.
"By the way, today's news is really lively. Have you seen it?"
Do Kyungsoo asked casually while eating.
"Of course I have seen it. After all, he is a senior in our company..." Wu Sehun was still chewing something in his mouth. He didn't swallow it after hearing it. He responded directly with a playful tone.
Today, there was a very explosive news in the entertainment industry. Peninsula media reported that a woman surnamed Li claimed that she was forcibly sexually assaulted by Park Yoochun, a former member of TVXQ and current member of JYJ, and a well-known actor, on June 3. She had officially reported the case on June 10 and handed over the relevant evidence to the police.
You should know that Park Yoochun is not an 18th-tier artist. TVXQ is well-known and can be regarded as one of the most successful boy bands. The halo it brings to its members will not fade until now. After the split, JYJ is also very popular in the Japanese market. Each member has made a lot of money, and Park Yoochun himself has successfully transformed into an actor, filming many TV series and movies, and is very well-known.
So the report immediately caused an uproar and instantly attracted everyone's attention.
Although negative news about artists often appears in the Peninsula entertainment circle, most of them are drunk driving, domestic violence, gambling and other things that are not particularly serious in terms of punishment. The most serious ones are drunk driving and escaping military service. This time, there was a direct rape, which is a crime, and the nature is very bad, and it is the kind that is despised by people.
Not only Park Yoochun's fans were anxious and surprised, but also the crowd of spectators flocked to it. All passers-by and even colleagues in the circle were watching the excitement and wanted to know the authenticity of the revelations.
Although Park Yoochun's agency C-JES Entertainment immediately issued an emergency statement, saying that "this is a unilateral claim without any factual basis", the onlookers didn't care about it. In addition to his fans who firmly believed that "Yoochun" would not do such a thing, many people have directly put the name of sexual assault on him.
"I feel that it may be because some things were not discussed after the selection of concubines or one night."
Do Kyung-soo was eating, thinking for a while and then expressed his opinion; "Aren't the seniors of TVXQ famous for this kind of thing? I heard about their "selection of concubines" when I just became a trainee. Logically speaking, they have never lacked women since a long time ago, and they are public figures, so they shouldn't be sexually assaulted..."
"Who knows, it's hard to say." Wu Se-hun curled his lips: "Maybe he suddenly saw a member of the opposite sex who particularly suits his appetite, or he drank alcohol or something... He was praised too much by fans, and he was used to being arrogant before, so he thought nothing would happen, so he couldn't help it."
"You seem to be very experienced." Chi Jingyuan ate fried rice cakes, puffed his cheeks and looked at him with a meaningful look.
He glared at her directly: "Ah, don't think I don't know what you're thinking!"
Dou Kyung-soo shook his head, sighed and took the initiative to remind her: "No matter what, you guys should also be... careful."
"You guys?" Chi Jingyuan felt a little awkward when he heard this word, and looked at Do Kyung-soo speechlessly: "Brother, did you say the wrong person? I'm not the same as them."
"Hahaha..." The arrogant laughter came from the side, and Chi Jingyuan gritted his teeth.
While chatting, he continued to stroll slowly.
However, before the matter was investigated clearly, Chi Jingyuan did not have a very obvious tendency. It was not that he believed in the "uprightness" of his predecessors, but he just felt that things in the circle would not be so simple.
He was just watching the fun.
In addition, Chi Jingyuan was more concerned about another news today.
Also today, NUTE's agency CUBE Entertainment announced at noon today that its group 4MINUTE officially disbanded, and stated that "the disbandment was a decision made by the five members Nam Ji-hyun, Heo Ga-yoon, Jeon Ji-yoon, Kim Hyun-a and Kwon So-hyun after a joint discussion. '
The disbandment of 4MINUTE, a second-generation girl group that debuted in 2009, is not surprising. Their latest mini-album 7 at the beginning of the year was very average, and all the data fell a lot. This album after a year is disappointing and completely inconsistent with the past glory. The popularity distribution of the group itself is extremely unhealthy, and it is time for the second-generation girl group to end, which many fans have actually expected.
What interested Chi Jingyuan was not their disbandment, but another news reported by the media after the disbandment:
"After 4MINUTE disbanded, the other four members unfollowed Hyun-a on SNS within three hours."
After seeing this news, he felt a little ridiculous, and suddenly became more interested in the wonderful internal relationships of the girl group.
Idols need a persona when they are active in the music industry. Even if you don't like them, you should at least wait for a while until the limelight has passed before unfollowing them.
I don't know how big the conflicts were when they were in the group, and how much the other four hated Kim Hyun-A. They didn't even bother to pretend. When the disbandment announcement came out, the four of them couldn't help but unfollow the most popular member in the team for a day, as if they had discussed it.
I don't know how Kim Hyun-A felt after seeing it.
Tsk tsk.
For some reason, Chi Jingyuan suddenly had some inexplicable associations and looked forward to the day when Girls' Generation would also disband...
After walking around for a while, passers-by had already discovered the EXO trio and pointed excitedly from a distance. Although no one was too excited to rush over, the feeling of being followed and watched by many people was not very good. The three of them discussed and prepared to go back first.
"There are so many people again. Let's go somewhere with fewer people next time... What's wrong with you?" Just as he was complaining, he saw Chi Jingyuan suddenly stop and Wu Se-hun looked back at him strangely.
At this time, Chi Jingyuan looked to the left. This was a boutique that sold some girls' gadgets and clothes. His sight was attracted by a bag in the window glass of this store.
This is a large backpack. The material seems to be PU leather. The whole is black, and the interval joints are white. There is a very cute little rabbit icon on the surface of the bag. The face is round, and it matches the short and stout design of the bag. The overall look is quite pleasing.
For some reason, when Chi Jingyuan saw this backpack and the rabbit pattern on it, he suddenly thought of the girl he talked to last night. Suddenly, her petite figure carrying this big backpack appeared in front of him.
"It's okay..." Hearing Wu Sehun's voice, Chi Jingyuan shook his head to indicate that it was nothing, and followed him and continued to walk back.
Suddenly saw something he wanted to give to his daughter, but there were fans watching behind him. He couldn't buy it in front of so many people. Then Pei Zhuxuan would be exposed when she carried it... After returning, he would ask Cui Zhichang to find a time to buy it.
"By the way, I heard from Seunghwan that you have a new TV drama target?" Do Kyungsoo remembered something when he got in the car, and asked curiously while looking at Chi Jingyuan.
"Well, I will meet with the writer to have a chat when I go back tomorrow."
