"You cry like this every time, Zhuhyunxi, are you really a female idol?"
The words of questioning and interrogation came out of Chi Jingyuan's mouth without mercy. Although the other person still buried his head in his legs and couldn't see his expression, he could clearly see that Pei Zhuxuan's left hand holding the wet wipes was obviously tightened. a little.
Pei Zhuxuan, who was obviously angry, held a wet wipe in her left hand and stretched it out to hit him, but she didn't find the right position and hit him in the air. As if she didn't understand her hatred, she even hit him hard in the air several times before angrily giving up. go back.
Immediately afterwards, Pei Zhuxuan reached out and put on the loose sweater and hat that covered his head a little tighter. He opened the package of wet wipes, took out two sheets, turned his head to the right, turned his back to Chi Jingyuan, and quickly wiped his face lightly. I wiped it gently. After wiping it for a few times, I felt that two sheets were not enough, so I took out several more sheets and wiped my face.
Every time he made a move, he was cautious, fearing that Chi Jingyuan would see his face that might be filled with tears, snot, chocolate chips, etc.
At this time, her legs were still placed together on the chair, but her upper body was turned around like a puppet. Such an awkward movement made her look like a gymnast.
At this moment, Bae Joo Hyun was far less domineering and straightforward than before, holding her neck and raising her head to ask the other party, "Is it ugly?" She suddenly became less pretentious.
Maybe she herself knew that Chi Jingyuan didn't lie, it was really ugly.
Looking at Pei Zhuhyun with her back turned to her, and the obvious bulge sticking out of her sweater and hat from the braid, she couldn't help but smile in her heart, especially when she saw the other person wiped it carefully for a while and then took it out of her pocket with her back to him. I took out my phone and took a few photos with the black screen carefully before I felt at ease.
He couldn't help but complain in his heart.
is that useful? What were you doing just now?
That is to say, he didn't react just now, otherwise he would have taken a picture of Bae Zhuhyun's crying face as a screen saver.
Then take a screenshot and send it to her.
After wiping her face clean, Pei Zhuhyun turned around. However, maybe because she felt a little cold or wanted to cover it up a little, she did not take off her sweater and hat. Instead, she took the initiative to lengthen and tighten the sweater cord at the collar. The head is tightly wrapped in a small hat, the cheeks are tightly wrapped by the brim of the hat, and a big bulge bulges out from behind the hat, which looks very funny.
However, the low pressure in her body just now seemed to have been vented a lot in her crying. At least she looked a lot more lively now. Her face, which was not wearing makeup, was red because she had just cried or because she wiped it too hard. , the wings of his nose and eyelashes were still trembling slightly, showing the turbulent emotions in his heart.
He glanced at Chi Jingyuan and withdrew his gaze. He relaxed a little and looked at the lights in the distance. Pei Zhuxuan no longer lowered his head, glanced at him and raised his head, and looked into the distance together.
The two of them sat quietly and looked at the striking night view of Seoul without saying a word. The night breeze that never stopped suddenly found that it could no longer blow away the temperature that was gradually rising here.
It was obviously the same as when I first arrived, with no one talking, but the atmosphere had obviously changed a lot.
After a while, Pei Zhuxun reached out and seemed to want to rub his head, but when he touched it, he found that his hair was already wrapped in a hat. He took back his hand as if nothing happened, glanced at Chi Jingyuan, then turned back and looked at Yuanfang took the initiative and said, "When my mother called me a few days ago, she mentioned some messages my family had seen on the Internet that were criticizing me."
Her voice was a little hoarse, but it was pleasant to listen to.
"I know they are very angry and sad, but they still took the initiative to care about me on the phone... Although I am really grateful to them, I feel more embarrassed and really don't want my family to see these things. …I don’t know what to say, and I’m not very good at expressing this kind of emotion.”
Nodding slightly, Chi Jingyuan said nothing.
After a while, she turned her head and looked at Chi Jingyuan and asked: "Xo was also attacked badly when he first debuted. Has your family seen those comments?"
"You must have seen it. After all, my family all care about me."
When xo debuted, Chi Jingyuan was in the best situation and the most popular in the team, but he certainly couldn't survive the bad online environment. Although he may not be criticized as much as others, there are actually quite a lot of them.
There were not many people who criticized her appearance. Most of them said that the makeup was ugly and then made up some baseless rumors.
Chi Jingyuan glanced at her, raised his eyes and thought for a moment, then pursed his lips and said, "It's just that they didn't mention it. My parents are in the United States all year round, and Noona and my second brother are usually very busy..."
"But they all know that this is my own choice, and they should believe me."
He looked at Pei Zhuxuan's eyes and added: "But I think the same as you and don't want this kind of thing to be known to my family. I can understand this feeling."
"..." Blinking, Pei Zhuxuan pursed her lips and nodded silently. After a few seconds, she suddenly asked with interest: "Do you have Noona and brother? Are you the youngest child in the family?"
Her eyes were shining, and she looked quite interested.
"Indeed, and they are much older than me. I am a child born to middle-aged parents, so I have always been favored." Chi Jingyuan said it casually without hiding anything, then looked at her and asked: "And you?"
"I also have a sister who is 5 years younger than me."
"Isn't that two years younger than me?"
"..." Pei Zhuxuan glanced at him angrily, and curled her lips in displeasure.
He knows that he doesn't like to talk about age, but this person always knowingly does it. It's really annoying.
Chi Jingyuan secretly laughed in his heart, but he still took the initiative to change the topic: "Has Red Velvet been inactive recently?"
"Who said that? And more!"
Upon hearing this, Pei Zhuxuan frowned and looked at him, and retorted like a conditioned reflex due to her pride, but in the end, her voice became obviously softer and she continued: "A little bit."
"..."
Feeling the half-smiling eyes of the other party, Pei Zhuxuan blushed a little. When she couldn't bear the look, she turned away as if she was giving up on herself: "...it's almost gone."
"Don't worry too much. After all, Lai De Beibei is the first girl group launched by SM after such a long time. The company will definitely operate it with care."
Although Bae Zhuhyun's strong-willed look is quite cute, Ji Kyungwon did not mean to laugh at it, but naturally talked about his views on Red Velvet: "And I have seen all the stages of the four of you, regardless of your strength. It doesn’t matter whether it’s personal charm or not. The current situation is not mainly due to you, but more to the influence of other aspects. It’s really bad to advance the debut time so early.”
"I guess the company's plan for you should be similar to that of our EXO back then. It would be quiet for a period of time, and then at the end of the year, a new artist award would be held in a large award ceremony such as Mama or the Seoul Music Awards, and then come back next year to change the style and create Some gimmicks while investing more resources.”
"Many passers-by who don't hate you from the bottom of their hearts won't really stay dark for that long. By then, this year's limelight will have almost passed, and your situation may be much better by then."
Speaking of this, Pei Zhuxuan listened to Chi Jingyuan's opinions carefully, nodded in agreement from time to time, and his expression looked better.
Although this is only Chi Jingyuan's personal opinion and does not represent the opinion of SM Company, out of her trust in the other party and her understanding of Chi Jingyuan's position within the company, she feels that what the other party said is quite reliable. At least she wanted to believe it.
Bae Zhuhyun has always had a strong sense of professionalism and self-esteem. After practicing for so long, she ended up like this when she debuted. In addition to being sad and aggrieved, she felt deeply unwilling. As long as there was hope, she would definitely try her best to change her current situation.
After thinking for a while, she suddenly remembered what Chi Jingyuan had just said when she was crying, and looked over with concern: "How is xo doing now? So many people have left..."
Members quitting the group is a big problem for any idol group in the peninsula. Look at Kara's current situation after someone left the group. After Girls' Generation's Jessica left, Sone split directly and is still in great disputes. knew.
As for EXO, one person is not leaving, but one is leaving every two days, and people are leaving one after another.
The harm this situation brings to Tuan fans is very great, and the more loyal they are and the more they like xo, the greater the harm will be.
"Lay estimates that the results will come out in the next two days. Either he will run away like the first two people, or he will open a personal studio. From now on, he will focus on his schedule in mainland China. There should be no other choice."
Chi Jingyuan looked at Jiang Mian and exhaled. After being silent for a few seconds, he answered: "The harm to our fans is indeed great. Even some of my only fans have been affected a lot by those rumors, not to mention the group. ...It's a bit similar to your Red Velvet. What our future situation will be depends on our comeback next year. The company is currently planning, and I should be involved."
After thinking about it, he added: "But there should be another single released in December."
"EXO's winter special?" Bae Zhuhyun asked at the right time.
"you know?"
"..." Pei Zhuxuan curled her lips as she glanced at him sideways.
nonsense.
"Although it is also a winter special, I may not release a mini-album this year like last year. I should just release a single. The previous plan was very perfunctory. I tried to get it from the company and it should be better, but the song has not been selected yet. , I don’t have a clue yet.”
Seeing that Chi Jingyuan, who had always been calm and confident, also looked a little waning, Pei Zhuxuan suddenly burst out into a bright smile, stretched out her fist and gestured at him: "Fighting!"
Just like when Chi Jingyuan cheered him up every time they met before.
Seeing her like this, Chi Jingyuan burst into laughter and gestured: "Fighting!"
"Let's work hard together, it depends on next year."
"Inside."
After cheering each other up, the two seemed to be in much better spirits and relaxed, as if the return of the two groups next year was already certain to be successful.
Unknowingly, we sat a little closer and looked into the distance together, seeing the brilliant night view from the sparkling river, and finally raised our heads to look at the foggy night sky.
A cold wind blew by. Chi Jingyuan noticed the situation between the two of them out of the corner of his eye. Thinking of something, he couldn't help but laugh. Feeling Pei Zhuxuan's confused eyes, he pursed his lips at the sky: "We are now Does it look like you’re watching the sunrise?”
"Pfft..."
Pei Zhuxuan laughed out loud, revealing her small white teeth that reflected the moonlight. A disgusted smile appeared on Susu's face, and she said angrily: "Who would come out to watch the sunrise at twelve o'clock in the morning? It's Pabo... …”
As she said that, she also raised her head and looked at the silvery but lonely moon with Chi Jingyuan. As she watched, the laughter in her mouth gradually weakened, and her whole person became quiet.
Pei Zhuxuan seemed to feel something in this quiet night sky, and suddenly became a little crazy.
The two of them really looked up at the dark sky as if they were watching the sunrise. It seemed that the miserable moon would be replaced by a big fireball in the next second and the sky would become brighter.
One is half leaning on the back of a wooden chair, and the other is holding his feet on the chair with his hands. The postures are completely different but look very harmonious.
"The current situation of our combination is just like what you just said, and it is somewhat similar to the scene in front of you. The sky is gray and there is no light... but it will be better after the sun comes out."
Chi Jingyuan began to tell the story seriously, but his words seemed a little childish.
"Why are you trying to comfort a child?" Glancing at him, Pei Zhuhyun pursed her lips.
"Be more romantic. Why don't you talk about this? What about the pimple on the corner of your mouth?"
"Yeah..." She punched him angrily and glared at him threateningly. Pei Zhuxuan looked at the sky and seemed to be getting into the fun: "The sunrise must be very beautiful and bright. It will definitely cover us all." Give light."
"Nai, first illuminate Pei Zhuxuanxi, and then you reflect the light and illuminate me."
"pipipipi...hahaha..." Hearing this, Pei Zhuxuan pushed Chi Jingyuan continuously with his hand. He muttered onomatopoeia and seemed to be reflecting the light, but he couldn't help laughing after doing it twice. He got up, laughed a little and quickly covered his mouth, but the laughter lingered around him.
Finally, she stared at the sky blankly and asked expectantly, "When will the sun rise?"
"It's a little after twelve o'clock now, and there are still about six hours before sunrise." Chi Jingyuan took out his mobile phone to check the time, then pursed his lips and replied solemnly: "If you convert it, it's almost six hours in reality. Months."
"Is that so?" Pei Zhuxuan nodded in agreement, looking completely convinced and without any doubt.
The two of them looked at each other, and both felt that they and the other were really childish at the moment. They looked at each other and laughed together, "Haha..."
"By the way, are there any more?" Chi Jingyuan smiled and nodded at the packaging of the chocolate bar in her hand.
This pack was the only pack of snacks he had with him. After unpacking it just now, he didn't even take a bite before it was snatched away by Pei Zhuxuan.
"There should be more..." Only then did she notice the tight packaging bag in her hand. She said something uncertain and quickly opened it and looked at it.
Unfortunately, probably because I used too much force when I took it, most of it was broken and crushed.
"What a waste, Senior Pei Zhuxuan." Chi Jingyuan looked at the scraps in the bag, smacked his lips and complained.
"There's one more!" After rummaging for a while, Pei Zhuxuan finally found the last complete chocolate bar. He took it out as if offering a treasure, and looked at Chi Jingyuan with a twinkling look: "Do you want to eat it?"
After looking at the chocolate bar and then at Pei Zhuhyun in front of him, Chi Jingyuan blinked and seemed to think about it for a second:
"Half for each person."
"Hey, then it's half for each person."
…
"Bye-Bye."
He waved to Pei Zhuxuan who got out of the car and said goodbye with a smile. After watching him walk towards the community where the dormitory is located, Chi Jingyuan raised the window and lay lazily on the back of the back seat, looking a little tired.
Of course, it was impossible to let the other party come back alone at such a late hour. It happened that Chi Jingyuan had prepared in advance for Park Jae-hyun to drive and park nearby. After finally dividing the last chocolate bar, he got in the car and sent her back.
The dormitory of red velvet is quite close to the exo dormitory. They are both in the ** district and relatively close to Jiangnan. Not only is it not far from the company, the house price and rent are much cheaper than in Jiangnan District. SM has really considered everything comprehensively. .
"Go back and rest?" Park Jae-hyun asked from the driver's seat.
"Well, let's go back."
Chi Jingyuan stretched and replied with half-squinted eyes.
Today was really tiring. I got up early in the morning and filmed all morning. In the afternoon, I received the news that Tao was leaving the team and rushed back for a meeting. I also talked a lot with Lee Soo Man about his return. I received several tasks and then returned to the crew to film. In the evening, I went back to the company to write a planning report. When I was about to leave the company and go home to sleep, I met Bae Zhuhyun, and we went out for a walk and chatted until now.
Today's day is really fulfilling enough.
But there are a lot of gains. At least senior Bae Zhuhyun, who was holding back a lot of negative emotions, has become much more normal, which can be regarded as a slight relief.
Just after the nanny car started driving, Chi Jingyuan's phone vibrated. He blew a breath and opened his eyes to take a look. Pei Zhuxuan sent a selfie.
She must have returned to the dormitory. In the photo, she must have just washed her face. There are still water stains on her eyebrows and hair. She was standing in front of the bathroom mirror with her mobile phone, and her face was taken from bottom to top. Although her fair face looked... It looks pretty good, but the two nostrils are really conspicuous.
She probably wanted to tell Chi Jingyuan that she had arrived in the dormitory.
Chi Jingyuan chuckled and said nothing more, replying with a 'disgusted' expression.
When we met just now, her face looked a little dull and she was obviously in a bad mood, but now in the photo her face was fair and translucent, rosy and shiny.
Does washing your face have such a big effect?
Yep, they even opened a special mode for beauty. It’s really scheming.
As a new girl group, returning to the dormitory so late will definitely be criticized by the manager. However, as the leader and the oldest member, Bae Zhuhyun will not be scolded too harshly, and it is estimated that she will find some excuse to deceive the manager. people.
But having said that, Bae Joo-hyun has a pretty face, so I don’t know how good the lie is.
He should be quite skilled...
After returning to the dormitory to wash up, Chi Jingyuan fell asleep and got up early the next morning to rush to the set to continue filming.
As expected by Chi Jingyuan, there were many EXO fans squatting at the entrance of Seoul Plaza, wanting to hear what he had to say about Tao's withdrawal from the group yesterday, including some reporters from the media.
After starting filming "Misborn", this place has become the most accurate place to find Ji Jingyuan, better than SM company and EXO dormitory. As long as you squat here, you can basically find him.
It's a pity that Chi Jingyuan can't respond to this kind of thing.
And to be honest, he really didn't have much to say.
Under the protection of his assistant and manager, after greeting the fans, Chi Jingyuan quickly walked in without stopping for a step.
After arriving on the set, both the actors and staff were very discerning. After reading the news, they all knew that something happened to EXO again yesterday, but this time it was not like the time when Girls' Generation's Jessica quit the group. Many people came to Ji Kyung Won to ask questions. The gossip and the inside story were all over the place, but everyone deliberately avoided the topic when greeting each other, and no one took the initiative to bring it up.
It can be considered considerate.
And yesterday when he was preparing a plan in the music room of SM Company, the sixth episode of "Misheng" was also broadcast on time.
But when I came to the set in the morning and learned the statistics of the ratings, I was a little unhappy.
Following the astonishing 5.3% in the fifth episode, the sixth episode not only failed to maintain the previous encouraging increase, but dropped a bit, even falling below the five percent mark, with only 4.9%.
However, this kind of decrease is also within the normal range, and the increase in the fifth episode is indeed a bit high, which is not normal. It is understandable that it was not retained due to various reasons. As long as the overall attitude of growth is shown, it will be satisfactory. ,
However, the ratings have dropped after all. Although no one paid too much attention to it, the atmosphere of the crew today became a little more tense compared to the previous two days.
In fact, the increase in ratings may be due to a relatively normal range, but the reviews on the Internet are obviously getting better day by day, whether it is for the filming of the entire drama "Misborn", the camera and other techniques. , the overall setting of the plot, or the acting skills and performance of the actors have all received a lot of praise and praise.
Many white-collar workers in the peninsula have become loyal viewers of this drama, and "Misheng" has become a hot topic in their daily chats.
The ratings are not yet obvious due to the inherent limitations of cable TV stations, but the popularity and discussion have clearly surpassed the TV series of other wireless TV stations in the same period. The momentum is very obvious, and the influence is gradually spreading.
Today is November 2nd. The Asian Music Festival held at the Busan Asian Games Main Arena in the evening has a stage for three songs by EXO-K. However, Chi Kyung-won was allowed to miss the stage due to filming schedule issues. The stage was performed by the other five members of the K team. Personal performance.
Chi Jingyuan himself originally didn't want to be absent, but this kind of large-scale party performance required practicing together beforehand. He had to go to the venue for rehearsal a day in advance or on the same day, and stayed for most of the day, but this period of time was exactly what "The Future" When "Life" was getting better and the shooting tasks gradually became heavier, it was difficult for him to spare so many days to practice or rehearse.
SM also didn't want to delay the TV series that was obviously going to be a big hit because of the performance. After a brief consideration, he just told Chi Jingyuan not to come and let him focus on filming.
Fortunately, exo-k has practiced five-person formations for many songs before, so there is no need to work overtime overnight to rehearse the choreography.
Moreover, Ji Kyung-won has one of the most parts in Team K. If he is absent, the weight and scenes of the other members will increase a lot. However, the ones who have the most additions and the heaviest tasks are Do Kyung-soo and Kim Jun-myeon.
And even if Chi Jingyuan's part was smoothed out, Wu Shixun didn't even get a few lines.
Because to be honest, even if some of the lead singer's parts were given to him, he wouldn't be able to sing them.
In addition to today's Asian Music Festival, SM also directly made Chi Jingyuan absent from several recent EXO-K stage performances, including the "Lotte Family Concert" on the 9th and "Music Bank - Mexico Special" on the 11th. etc.
This salary is really good, but SM has always paid attention to the career development of its idols as actors. Previously, Choi Sulli, Choi Minho, Kwon Yuri and even Lin Yoona had the experience of missing important stages or family concerts due to filming. Ji Kyungwon did not It's too special.
However, not having to attend this 'Mexico Special' really made Chi Jingyuan thank him in his heart. I heard that it would take nearly forty hours just to fly and transfer. It would cost him half his life if he did this. .
After finishing the day's shooting, Chi Jingyuan returned to the company's music room again. Li Xiuman's task was quite heavy. He would work overtime here unless there was no accident in the evening.
After he came today, he didn't start thinking about the planning report directly. Instead, he put on his headphones, turned on the computer and mixer, and tried to input a melody.
After listening quietly for a while, he clicked on a document, closed his eyes and remembered the scene where he and Pei Zhuhyun were together by the river last night, and recalled in his mind some of the words the two said at that time.
Some of the words the other party said left a deep impression on him, and they were still vivid in his mind, echoing gently in his ears.
He couldn't help but think of the current situation of the two groups EXO and Red Velvet. Although the situations were different, the prospects were the same bleak at this time.
After sorting out his memories for a moment, he took a breath and started typing with his fingers on the keyboard:
"You'll get used to it, again."
"..."
"It will pass, it will pass."
"..."
