"xone?"
"Yeah, our group just happens to be called xo, and the slogan is weareone. The two letters "one" and "o" overlap, and it looks great at first glance.
"This suggestion was made. The more he thought about it, the more appropriate it became. His eyes were bright and he kept looking towards the member next to him.
"Why don't you just call me "Sone"? This way fans of Girls' Generation's seniors can be considered our fans in the future." Baekhyun glanced at him with disgust and waved his hand as if you were not reliable at all: "The fan name is too Like, not only will the other party’s fans be upset, but our own food won’t be satisfied either.”
"How about calling me xos?"
"What do you mean? Plural form of xo brandy?"
"How about calling it Star? Isn't the concept of our combination about planets outside the Milky Way?"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
"Why are you laughing? You just know how to laugh there. I can think of a few to give you some advice." A fan name aroused the interest and enthusiasm of the members. A group of people were talking to each other, but Most of the names are not very reliable, and some are completely laughable.
"Jingyuan, do you have any good ideas about what you proposed?" Do Kyungsoo, who was sitting next to him, bumped Chi Jingyuan with his elbow and looked at him and asked.
"I just brought it up. I haven't thought about it much yet. Let me think about it before I talk about it." Chi Jingyuan shook his head innocently.
He watched the members' lively discussions with great interest, occasionally interjecting a few words, and from time to time he laughed and mocked those members who came up with nonsensical fan names.
Suddenly the phone in his pocket vibrated. Chi Jingyuan took it out and saw that it was from Zheng Xiujing, asking if he was in the company now.
"I'm going out for a while and will be back soon. If the manager comes back and asks, just tell him that I went to the bathroom." Chi Kyung-won told Do Kyung-soo next to him. Without waiting for the other party to respond, he whispered with his cell phone. Went around from the side.
…………
"You didn't say anything when you called me out. You didn't sleep well last night and you're not clear-headed?" In the stairwell on the third floor of Sm Company, Chi Jingyuan looked at Zheng Xiujing, who was standing there silently and full of low pressure. , sighed and spoke helplessly.
Just now he came out after receiving the text message and made an appointment in the stairway between the third and fourth floors where no one usually walked. However, after meeting, Zheng Xiujing had a very low expression and stood there without saying anything.
"I knew I just told you that I was no longer in the company." When Chi Jingyuan saw Zheng Xiujing like this, he leaned against the wall, curled his lips and sounded a little regretful, causing Zheng Xiujing to cast a sidelong glance at him.
Then neither of them spoke, and the stairwell fell into silence for more than two minutes. Only then did Chi Jingyuan look at her and ask again: "Tell me, why are you in a bad mood? Who bothered you again?" Your sister, or your member? It must be these two people."
"How do you know if I, Ernie, am one of my members?" Zheng Xiujing stared at him.
"Guess." Chi Jingyuan pursed his lips and looked at Zheng Xiujing: "I'll go back if you don't tell me."
"Tch..." Zheng Xiujing wrinkled her nose, lowered her head and looked at the ground. At the same time, she used her right foot to rub the floor with her toes, and finally said: "I had a fight with Ernie, and I just had a fight with Sulli. We quarreled a few more words."
"..." Chi Jingyuan said nothing, but nodded slightly and looked at her to indicate that he was listening carefully.
When he saw the other party's appearance just now, he figured out where he was angry. He felt aggrieved and wanted to find someone to vent to.
After asking him out, I couldn't help but stand there and pretend to be cold, waiting for Chi Jingyuan to take the initiative to ask.
Being tsundere is really not cute at all.
"I'm such a grown-up person, and Ernie is still taking care of things every day. She has to ask about where I go to play, and who I'm related to. I'm almost annoyed to death. Yesterday, she called me again and asked me not to do it. Who to play with..."
"And sulli, she often doesn't take herself seriously when practicing recently. She always talks perfunctorily and speaks loudly. She doesn't care what you say about her. If you say more than a few words, you'll get into a fight..." Zheng Xiujing was guided by Chi Jingyuan. She started talking, and kept talking about the annoying things that happened in the past few days. Most of them were about her, Ernie, and a small part was about Cui Xueli.
She was obviously dissatisfied with these two people, and she complained word by word about these two sisters and companions who she spent time with day and night.
It seems that I have been holding back a lot of anger from them in the past two days. Today I finally couldn't help but want to talk about it, so I sent a message wanting to meet Chi Jingyuan.
Zheng Xiujing would look at Chi Jingyuan after saying a few words, as if she wanted to get recognition from him before she would be motivated to continue speaking. Chi Jingyuan also gave her the look she wanted at the right time, allowing Zheng Xiujing to put all the accumulated mental energy into her eyes. All the complaints were expressed at once.
After talking for a while, she finally felt satisfied with her complaint. She took a breath and raised her head to look at Chi Jingyuan, wanting to see his reaction. "What are you looking at me for?
"Feeling the other party's gaze, Chi Jingyuan glanced at her, leaned against the wall with a lazy look, and asked with a bit of a mean tone: "You don't think I will say some warm words to comfort you, do you? " Before Zheng Xiujing's eyes became sharp, Chi Jingyuan looked at her and added: "It would be nice to lend you a shoulder. "As he spoke, he shrugged his shoulders and gestured to Zheng Xiujing.
"Hmph." Zheng Xiujing snorted as if she was dissatisfied, but took the initiative to take two steps towards Chi Jingyuan, her back pressed against the wall like his, and her head leaned against Chi Jingyuan on the shoulders.
The depressed and aggrieved mood before had improved a lot without realizing it. No one spoke in the empty and silent corridor, only the faint breathing of two people could be heard.
At this moment, a burst of very light footsteps faintly reached Chi Jingyuan's ears. He judged the direction and looked over before it was too late. A figure slowly walked down the stairs on the fourth floor and was already standing. I saw them on the stairs, and met Chi Jingyuan's gaze.
Seeing this familiar figure, Chi Jingyuan sighed, what a coincidence. Pei Zhuxuan stood awkwardly on the stairs, looking at the very familiar Chi Jingyuan below and the senior Zheng Xiujing who debuted in the company. Her heart was filled with turmoil. The various mixed emotions made her feel a little down, and then she felt grand for a while.
"Yeah!" At this time, Zheng Xiujing also saw Bae Zhuhyun standing on the upper side of the stairs. She quickly raised her head that was leaning on Chi Jingyuan's shoulder. After recognizing that he was a trainee, she felt relieved a little, and then looked at it with some annoyance. Looking at Pei Zhuxuan, she couldn't help but asked: "Is there no sound when you walk?" She was a little angry. In addition to the panic and embarrassment caused by being caught when she was relatively close to Chi Jingyuan, there were also many It was because the atmosphere of getting along with her that she had enjoyed so much was suddenly broken, which made her feel a little disappointed and angry.
Chi Jingyuan gently pulled Zheng Xiujing, then looked at Pei Zhuxuan with a smile, waved and said hello: "What a coincidence, Zhuxuanxi, I can meet you here, we are so destined." His expression It seemed quite relaxed, just saying hello to an old friend. There was no emotion at all that one should feel when being caught being intimate with a girl.
"Nei... Nei, what a coincidence, Jingyuanxi." Pei Zhuxuan was awakened by Chi Jingyuan's voice. She quickly squeezed out a smile and waved to him. At the same time, she also saluted Zheng Xiujing. Finally, it seemed that What was she worried about? She even explained: "Just now the room manager called me to say something. When I went downstairs, the elevator was a little slow, so I just took the stairs..." Zheng Xiujing was pulled for a moment, and after listening to a few words It was also obvious that Chi Jingyuan knew this trainee, and he did not have another attack, standing aside and watching their conversation.
Chi Jingyuan smiled and chatted casually with Pei Zhuxuan. They hadn't seen each other for almost a month since the last showcase. It was just a normal friendship between friends.
However, the other party was obviously a little distracted, and after a few words, he took the initiative to bow and leave.
"Then I'll leave first. I'll have some practice when I get back."
"Hey, next time you are free, invite Seulgi and the others to have dinner together." After saying goodbye, in Chi Jingyuan's sight, Bae Zhuhyun ran down the stairs as quickly as if she was running away, and disappeared from his sight in a few steps. middle.
"Your friend?" Zheng Xiujing asked calmly.
"Can't you see?" Chi Jingyuan turned to look at her and asked in confusion.
"You still have a friend who is a trainee... you are so free. Is it because that trainee is so good-looking?" Her tone sounded a bit sarcastic.
Chi Jingyuan seemed not to hear it, smiled and blinked, still giving the same reply: "Can't you tell?"
"Tsk..." Zheng Xiujing glared at him angrily, slapped Chi Jingyuan hard, then tightened her collar and said, "I'm leaving first."
"Then she patted her butt and left quickly. Judging from her appearance, she seemed to have returned to normal. Chi Jingyuan looked at the place where she left, pouted, turned around and hurried back to Exo's practice room.......
"Unnie, what's wrong with you?" Jiang Seulqi looked at Bae Zhuhyun, who had a bad look on her face after she came back and was sitting on the floor in a daze, and asked with concern as she leaned over.
"It's okay, I'm just a little tired." Pei Zhuhyun smiled at her, and after pondering for a second, he suddenly said: "Seulqi, Jingyuan wants to fuck him..." But before he finished speaking, Pei Zhuhyun stopped on his own, She pursed her lips and thought for a while, but did not continue.
"What's wrong with Jingyuan?" Jiang Seqi interrupted mid-hearing and asked curiously.
"It's okay...
"Pei Zhuhyun smoothed her hair, and the sunny smile bloomed on her face again. She looked gentle and bright, as if the person with a bad expression just now was not her at all. She gently smoothed her hair, and it was very natural. Nuzui: "It's the Seoul Music Awards soon. I'm wondering if Jingyuanxi and the others can win the award this time. "
"It's definitely no problem, Exo is so popular now, they have already won three major awards, and the last one is definitely not a problem.
"Kang Seulgi is very confident in this combination of her relatives." That's true.
Pei Zhuxuan nodded, then took the initiative to stand up and gave her a toothy smile: "Let's go, let's continue practicing."
"
"Inside."…………
"Then it's finally time to hand out the honorary Grand Prize trophy."
"I'm really proud, Wuli Yazhong Xi will announce it personally." On January 23, the nearly three-hour live broadcast of the 23rd Seoul Music Awards came to an end and entered the final stage, awarding the Grand Award trophy. .
The organizer selects a Grand Prize winner from among the twelve previous award-winning artists. Because there is only one Grand Prize slot in the entire award ceremony, its gold content and difficulty in obtaining it are among the best among the four major award ceremonies.
At this time, two award-presenting guests, Kim Kwang-rae, the representative director of "Seoul Sports", and actor Kim Ah-joong were speaking in front of the microphone to deliver the award.
"The grand prize of honor will be announced among the 12 teams in this award." As the fans below kept shouting the name of his idol group, Jin Yazhong opened the envelope and announced the final winner to the camera: "Seoul Sports The 23rd high1 Seoul Music Awards...
"
"The grand prize of honor is... Exo, congratulations!" Upon hearing this name, all the fans in the venue suddenly burst into deafening cheers. All the artists in the artist stand stood up and applauded in congratulations, and the excited bmG also sounded.
The Exo members sitting at the artist's round table stood up at the same time, took a long breath and showed bright smiles. The twelve people gathered around the round table and hugged each other.
Everyone can hear the breathing and heartbeat of the members next to them, and feel the excitement, joy and excitement between each other.
Then they quickly saluted and thanked the senior artists around them. When Chi Kyung-won passed by the Girls' Generation table next to him, Taeyeon and Sunny took the initiative to lean forward and slapped him hard on the face one after another. Shang also smiled happily and seemed quite happy for Chi Jingyuan.
Chi Jingyuan smiled and waved to them, and then followed the members, bowing step by step, from the artist's seat to the award podium.
What's interesting is that Jung Eun Ji is one of the MCs at today's award ceremony. She was standing on the stage wearing a slim red dress and was very conspicuous.
Originally, she had been standing on the edge, smiling and returning salutes to the Exo members who were saluting him, but when it was Chi Jingyuan's turn at the end, she squinted her crescent-shaped smile and grinned, showing her big white teeth.
He took the initiative to take a step forward, stretched out his right hand and shook it.
"Congratulations!" Chi Jingyuan gave her a hearty high-five, and then heard Zheng Endi say something sincere to him.
To be honest, Jung Eun Ji is really pretty in her outfit today. The red dress and slightly curly long hair make her look like a lady, and at the same time, she has a friendly smile that makes people feel good. It adds a lot of color to the whole person.
And when did she become so thin? Chi Jingyuan felt that his relative might gain more fans after this award ceremony.
The two nodded and exchanged glances. Chi Jingyuan didn't stop, and took a few steps faster to stand next to the members who were already lined up.
The speech was still the same. Exo, who had won the fourth Grand Prize, was already familiar with it. Jin Junmian first gave a long speech of thanks and emotion, and then passed the microphone to everyone in turn to say something, and finally went to Chi Jingyuan to show I said it once in Korean, then converted it to English and said it again.
The Seoul Music Awards may have a slightly higher gold content than the Golden Disc Awards, but it's actually about the same, but today Exo looks a lot more excited than the Golden Disc Awards a few days ago.
Because winning this grand award means that they have won the four major award ceremonies in the peninsula music industry in 2013. Each award ceremony has the amazing achievement of winning the grand award.
It’s been more than a year since their debut, and they have won four major awards even when they were still relatively new. It’s hard not to sigh that Exo’s popularity has soared to the sky last year, and it’s really unstoppable.
After the speech, it was the final encore stage. Chi Jingyuan did not paddle this time and stood at the front of the stage with a microphone, happily singing along to the excited fans below.
In the artist booth below, Shinee and Girls' Generation, as seniors of the same company, stood up to support Exo throughout the whole process, waving and dancing along, showing their family bond very well.
When it was Ji Kyung Won's turn to part, the camera showed the Girls' Generation table in the artist booth. Kim Taeyeon looked very happy and stretched out her hands to make a funny expression towards the camera.
By the last chorus, the idols in the artist's seat were all very high under the camera. Apink's table also followed suit and performed the signature beating action of the "Roar" choreographer. After doing it, several people burst into laughter. I don’t know what I’m feeling happy about.
The awards ceremony finally came to an end with "Roar", which I have listened to countless times but still has a very rhythmic feel.
Afterwards, in accordance with the tradition of the Seoul Music Awards, under the arrangement of the organizer, all the artists present took a photo together, and then bowed to each other and said goodbye.
.........Having a dinner with the members to celebrate last night, Chi Jingyuan, who had not been happy for a while, packed up his things the next day and followed Park Jae-hyun, his assistant, and the people specially assigned to him by the company for activities in Xia Kingdom. The team came to the airport together and sat in the waiting room waiting for the flight.
He is about to start his activities in Xia Kingdom again. Sm and the mainland cooperative companies have been looking forward to it for who knows how long.
I heard that they wasted a lot of effort this time and organized Chi Jingyuan to attend several important parties near the Spring Festival. This trip should be more difficult.
At this time, Chi Jingyuan was sitting in the middle of a row of sofas in the waiting room, lazily leaning on the back of the chair, crossing his legs, and scrolling on his mobile phone.
He was going to go online to see the comments and reactions on the Internet about Exo winning the Song Awards yesterday.
But when he turned on his phone, he immediately found a fan post that was ranked at the top of their Exofanclub. This post was also listed as a hot search on some entertainment forums.
Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but clicked in curiously and looked at it carefully.
"I watched the Seoul Music Awards live broadcast yesterday. When I saw the final awards encore stage, ribbons were flying above, fans were shouting below, and the twelve members of I went to fanclub and wrote this long review. I wrote it out of emotion. I thought about xo’s experience from debut to now. I’m sorry for the confusion. I’m a very ordinary fan of Exo. My family background is not that good either. Even when I was trying to save money for album sales, I could only buy two or three copies. There was nothing wrong with the activity of making charts and rankings, but every time my fan base raised funds, they were a little helpless. But my I’m a pretty old fan, and I’ve been a fan since before they debuted. At that time, I accidentally saw Yuan’s debut trailer video, and I was immediately struck by Yuan’s smile at the end of the trailer video, and I became a fan immediately. Then I gradually got to know the whole Exo through him. I am Yuan's only fan, and I also like the whole team. I don't know what kind of fan is this, a combination of Wei fan and group fan? Before XO debuted, a lot of people paid attention to it. Sm itself is a big company. The new large-scale boy group they launched after several years has its own popularity. There was already a large fan base before they debuted. The group is very lively every day, and new people are constantly coming in. , everything seems to be in good shape. It’s just that such a good situation collapsed immediately after the MV and sound source of the debut song “mAmA” were released. What was originally a good situation has experienced a sad reaction in a short period of time. Repost. Because the title song is really disappointing, whether it is the song style, melody, or costumes, it is the same. Even though I am a fan, I think this song is very average. I still remember that at that time, the Internet was full of negative comments about xo Comments, in addition to criticizing the title song for being unpleasant and the appearance being ugly, the fans who complained the most were the seniors of the same company, because xo’s debut might have squeezed the resources of the seniors, resulting in Exo and the like becoming the target of public criticism for a while, as if they were not scolded A few words just don't keep up with the trend. It's polite to make sarcastic remarks. If it's too much, there are conspiracy theories, son-in-law theories, and hidden rules. It's really hard for them to make up so many similar plots. Black us. At that time, the company did not have any intention to criticize xo, and allowed all the fans to scold xo on the Internet. This is also the consistent style of the Sm family, and everyone is used to it. I remember that at that time, in addition to the group members of the same company Apart from fans, the most criticized boy groups online are .p and Defan, which debuted at the same time. The idols of these two debuted much more smoothly than XO, and because they debuted at the same time, they naturally became competitors. , the fans of these two families trolled us online every day, while promoting their idols, and their triumphant tone really pissed me off at the time. But there is no way, the competition between fans ultimately depends on the strength of the idols Speaking of results, xo was really not popular at that time, and we accepted it. Due to various things, the popularity was cut in half. During that time, there were basically no new people coming into the fanclub, and people quit every day. That one A blacklisted name is really sad. Maybe many new fans don't know that the few months after XO's debut were really difficult. Some of the scenes of XO's activities at that time now look really uncomfortable, sad and distressing. When Baekhyun held his birthday party in May, a total of more than a dozen people came. The total number of fans was not as many as the members and staff of XO. However, the members were still very happy and interacted enthusiastically with the fans at the scene. No embarrassment or dissatisfaction at all. Sometimes, because they are pressed for time and have little income, the members just sit on the roadside to eat. Exo-m team's first autograph session, there were two or three big cats and kittens, covering up the names in the photos. Now you don't believe that this is Exo's autograph session. Team K performed in thin clothes on a very cold day, and you could see obvious breathing when you opened your mouth. Because I was ridiculed by online groups and not popular enough, I never received any announcements. I finally got a commercial performance, but in the end I couldn't get the performance fee. The organizer gave the members a bag of rice as compensation, but The Exo members still seemed quite happy, at least it was an announcement that they could show up. There were really too many scenes like this at that time, and many of them are still fresh in my memory. And it’s not so bad because at least there’s an itinerary to see them. However, except for the first few months after XO's debut, their schedule and exposure dropped sharply. Seeing them on TV became a luxury. Various magazines and tabloids said that Exo was a failure of SM company. There were no variety shows, no popularity, no new songs, no appearances, just being unfavorable. This was the situation of Exo at that time. If Yuan hadn't been able to receive advertisements and appear on TV frequently, we would have been really worried that xo would be disbanded. Fortunately, at the most difficult time, when fans were almost unable to hold on, Yuan got the leading role in "Reply 1997". I remember that I was really excited when I heard the news. Friends in the fan group happily discussed it for a long time and agreed to stick to it. No one really liked this show at the time, but it was already a very good schedule for xo. Fortunately, our prayers seem to have come true. "Reply" became a hit and set a ratings record for cable television. Yuan, who played the leading role, gained widespread recognition and his popularity soared. At the same time, the group Exo returned to the public eye. within. Since then, the situation seems to have gradually improved. Although except for Yuan, who often appears due to the popularity of the TV series, the other members still have a limited schedule, but from time to time, you can see the members appearing on TV. It was in a state where it could be disbanded at any time. At the end of the year, I was able to go on stage, and finally won several newcomer awards due to excellent sales. While being recognized by many people, those anti-fans finally had enough and stopped, and finally got through that period. The hardest time. This change really makes us old fans breathe a sigh of relief. Then came 2013. Ever since Sm announced Exo’s comeback in May, we have been looking forward to it. A new song after one year and two months is really rare, and we almost thought we would never see it again. The regular album "xoxo" really did not disappoint. "Wolf" is refreshing, with handsome and intense choreography, the amazing tree of life, etc. It seems to show that everything is getting better and Exo is on the road to success. Keep moving forward. Sure enough, June 13th, this day is so vivid in my memory, Exo is on today’s m! In tdown, he won the first No. 1 spot on the singing stage and the first No. 1 trophy one year and three months after his debut. In the video released at that time, the members couldn't restrain their excitement and burst into tears backstage. Kai and Y both burst into tears like children. Yuan, who had always been very calm, was obviously unable to control his emotions, with twinkling eyes. Tears. That scene really impressed me deeply. Starting from this one, everything is developing for the better. "Wolf"'s four-digit results are very good, which is unimaginable for last year's "mAmA". The momentum has continued. It wasn't until "Roar" came out that Exo finally took off. "Roar" cleared the charts as soon as the sound source was released and has great stamina. It seems to be the song that has been on the charts for the longest time among all the boy band's songs. One winner in seventeen singing competitions, setting a record for one more award-winning male idol group in the Peninsula music industry. 'Eu-Reu-ReongEu-Reu-Reong' was everywhere in the streets and alleys of the peninsula. You could definitely hear it in any shopping mall, restaurant, video store, or even school. This was the only sound in the music scene on the entire peninsula at that time. I want to say here that Yuan is really talented. For Exo to have the popularity and momentum it has today, in addition to their own efforts and accumulation, the contribution of "Roar" really cannot be ignored. I won't say what Exo would be like without Yuan, because he is one of the members of xo, no one can deny that. xo dominates most of the primary and secondary school student camps, squeezing the living space of other newly debuted boy groups to the lowest level. Every autograph session was packed with people, which was in stark contrast to last year. There was also a time when there were too many people present, which seriously affected nearby traffic. The organizers were worried that too many people would cause dangerous incidents and canceled the autograph session. This is a strange story for many artists. Various variety shows are vying for invitations. As long as Exo appears, the ratings and topicality will be significantly improved. At the end of the year, the stages of major TV stations are also a must. Even if you can't be there, you must record the stage video in advance. All of this means that Exo has truly soared like a rocket and is beginning to shine like stars in the sky of the Peninsula music industry. Then there are the four major awards ceremonies at the end of the year. November 14th, mmA Song of the Year. November 22nd, mAmA Album of the Year. On January 16th, Golden Disc, Grand Award in the Recording Department. On January 23rd, Seoul Music Awards, Daesang. Four award ceremonies, four awards, four shots of the members hugging each other. I don’t need to go into details, these pictures are enough to prove everything. When you can call yourself a top group or a first-tier group if you can win one major award, how should you define Exo, which has won four major awards in a row? I don’t need to say anything more about xo’s current glory. I just want to tell everyone that it’s not easy for them to get to where they are today. Every member has put in their own efforts. Looking back now, last year we had no idea that xo would become this popular this year. Even the most optimistic fans would not have expected xo's current glory. Having said that, let’s finally show a group photo of all the artists after the Seoul Music Awards. It has been more than a year since their debut. Exo, who has not yet passed the rookie stage, can firmly stand in the C position among so many seniors present. I was happy and excited when I saw this photo, but I don’t know why I suddenly shed tears. Coming down, it’s quite strange. xo, please keep standing in position C, we will always be with you. wearone!
