"Igottheveslikejagger."
"Igottheoooooveslikejagger."
"Okay, take a rest first..."
As the music in the practice room stopped, and at the instruction of the dance teacher, the group of people who finished their ending poses immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Bae Zhuhyun stood up and smoothed her hair. Before the male idols standing behind could speak, they smiled. After saying hello, he pursed his lips, looked at the floor, saluted, and walked aside. Without saying a word, he picked up the mineral water he had put there before, opened it and took a few sips.
Kang Seulgi and Park Sooyoung are from the same economic company as JA and Infinite, but SM also has a stake in it, so they can be regarded as distant relatives.
This kind of collaborative stage for artists from different companies is usually agreed upon and rehearsed in the practice room of one of the companies. Of course, managers and assistants will follow them all the time, and these two days were at SM, and the company was on the second floor. A large practice room was set aside for them to use.
Bae Zhuhyun and the others have no schedule at all during this period. They hang out in the dormitory and practice room every day. They have the opportunity to appear in the SBS Gayo Daejeon. For this cooperation stage, the members of redvelvet attach great importance to it.
The idols who have collaborated with these groups have met several times backstage. In this short period of time, they have become familiar with each other by practicing together every day. On Ledbebe's side, except for Bae Joo Hyun, who is relatively unfamiliar and rarely talks, the others The members are already relatively familiar with each other.
After all, the idols who debuted in the same year are about the same age and can be easily talked to. Maybe there is someone among them who is a classmate in school, and the network will be connected immediately.
During the break, those who went to the restroom went to the restroom, while everyone else sat in their respective seats, drank water, and chatted quietly.
Pei Zhuxuan sat cross-legged on the floor, holding a mineral water bottle and looking at the floor in front of her. She was a little dazed thinking about things. She didn't know when the name "Yuan" came to her ears, which immediately attracted her attention. She glanced to the side with her peripheral vision. After taking a quick look, I found that Jiang Seulqi and the others were chatting with some girls from Lovelyz, and their voices were not very loud.
After looking back and hesitating for a moment, Pei Zhuxuan took the water glass, looked at the floor but moved his little butt there twice, sat down not far from Sun Shengwan, and pretended to listen casually.
"...Does XO's Yuanxi really earn so much in a year?" Lovelyz's Liu Zhiyuan's voice was very surprised, and her gestures with her hands and feet seemed to be saying something unbelievable.
"What's wrong with Jingyuan? Why is it so high?" After hearing this, Jiang Seqi and Sun Shengwan looked at each other, a little confused, wondering what she was talking about.
"It was the program "List Revealed 2014" broadcast by N yesterday. It exposed the income rankings of Peninsula artists this year and listed the top income rankings. EXO's Yuanxi ranked second, second only to the first. Kim Soo Hyun xi...haven’t you watched it?”
Li Meizhu swallowed the sip of water she just drank and looked at the two people in surprise. Didn't they know about the news that was so popular on the Internet today?
What’s interesting is that there is a member of lovelyz who has the same name as SM’s trainee director.
"Yeah, it's trending today. It's super popular. Many people are talking about it today..." Liu Zhiyuan nodded vigorously and raised her eyes to think for a while: "The first is Kim Soo Hyun, the second is Yuanxi, really Many people are surprised to see how much his annual income is in the show..."
Some people had forgotten the specific number, so Liu Zhiyuan pursed her lips at the two of them: "Can you use your mobile phone? You can check it online."
They, Lovelyz, have just debuted for a month and are in the most strictly controlled period. Their managers do not allow them to use mobile phones at all during daily activities.
"Now... it should be okay..." Jiang Seulqi glanced at Quan Huiying who was standing on the side, chatting with GOT7's manager, and said with some uncertainty, and then took the phone from the bag next to her. come out.
Sun Shengwan also secretly took out her mobile phone. She noticed that she didn't know when to sit down.
Pei Zhuhyun, who came to her side, blinked and stepped aside a little, holding her phone and watching it with her.
"...In the program "List Revealed 2014" broadcast on December 14th, it was revealed that the Peninsula stars whose net worth has risen rapidly this year were revealed. Actor Kim Soo Hyun beat everyone and became the champion."
Sun Shengwan opened the webpage and found this hot search. He clicked on it and read it in a low voice while looking at it. Bae Zhuhyun next to him also squeezed over and watched carefully together.
"Kim Soo-hyun's net worth has soared after becoming famous this year. Her advertising endorsements have been merciless, and her money-making level is unmatched. According to statistics from this program, Kim Soo-hyun has held fan meetings across Asia this year and earned 6.5 billion won in just 9 shows. When I participated in the variety show "The Strongest Brain" in mainland China for six months in the summer, it was reported that the appearance fee was as high as 500 million."
"In addition, Kim Soo Hyun Kwang has shot more than 30 commercials in mainland China, and Peninsula's local advertising revenue is expected to reach more than 40 billion won in the first half of the year, and 90.9 billion won for the full year, surpassing all the star artists on the Peninsula. "
"Jinjia? 90 billion won?" Park Soo-young couldn't help shouting. This figure is a bit unimaginable for female idols like them, who are on the verge of failure when they debut and have not even received their share of the profits.
"That's not bad. After all, Kim Soo Hyun Xi is a popular actor in the first half of the year and is really popular overseas... Look at the back." Liu Zhiyuan took a sip of water and raised an eyebrow at her.
"What are you talking about?" At this time, several members of the two boy groups saw the excitement here and came over to ask with a smile, but the only reply they received was the news that Son Seungwan continued to read.
"After actor Kim Soo-hyun, to our surprise, second place is idol Yuan from SM Company, who debuted from EXO. In addition to his outstanding career in the music industry, Yuan has also been extremely successful in transforming into an actor. This year In the first half of the year, thanks to the drama "The Heirs" which became popular across Asia, and as a member of EXO, I have gained extremely high popularity in Asia, especially Xia Kingdom."
"In the first half of the year alone, he received more than 20 brand endorsements in mainland Xia, and also received high-quality endorsements such as full-line spokespersons for LG Electronics in the peninsula. According to statistics, Yuan's revenue in the first half of the year exceeded 30 billion won. Overall, On the same level as Kim Soo Hyun."
"30 billion?" Jiang Seulqi repeated, feeling a little unbelievable.
"It's not over..." Sun Shengwan was in high spirits. He glanced at her and wrinkled his nose, and then said: "It's just that Yuan reduced her schedule in Asia in the second half of the year, which caused the overall income in the second half of the year to be lost to Kim Soo Hyun. Yes, according to our program team’s inference, Yuan’s overall income for the whole year is about 50 billion to 55 billion. This does not include EXO’s share of income and his copyright income for creating hit songs such as “Roar”. Under such circumstances, it is beyond the expectations of many people to be able to reach such a level after two and a half years of debut. He is indeed a popular idol in the peninsula music industry with the title of "natural idol". "
"Furthermore, Yuan, as the male protagonist of the recently popular drama "Misaeng" who has great influence and has become very popular again, can be imagined that his endorsement income has once again reached a high point."
"Ranking third is the actress Jun Ji-hyun who is also popular in Asia and is partnered with Kim Soo-hyun..."
"Ranking fourth is Lee Seo-jin, who has soared in popularity with the reality show "Three Meals a Day" and starred in "Good Days"..."
"The fifth is the funny actress Lee Kook-joo who shined in various variety shows this year and shined in the Korean variety show "Roote"..."
"Sixth is actress Kim Hee-hee who starred in the Korean drama "Secret Meeting"..."
Later, Sun Shengwan lost interest and stopped reading. She looked back again, and her eyes stopped where Chi Jingyuan was sitting.
"55 billion, is Jingyuan... so rich?" Sun Shengwan's expression changed after he was surprised, and he clicked his tongue, as if he wanted to take advantage of the big family.
"This is too much. It ranks second among all the artists in the peninsula... Let's not talk about it. I wonder if the EXO group can have such a high revenue in a year." Jiang Se
Qi was still a little unbelievable. Before, she only knew that her relative of the same age was very popular and had many endorsements, but she had no real sense of it. Now after seeing the specific figures, she suddenly realized that it was even more amazing than she had imagined.
"The EXO group should be about the same, maybe a little higher. Wasn't there a website that made statistics and announced the income ranking of male idol groups in the first half of 2014? I remember seeing it at the time. EXO seemed to be ranked number one with an income of more than 30 billion in the first half of the year. Two..." Park Xiurong mentioned a piece of news he had seen a long time ago. He raised his eyes and thought about it before tentatively saying something. Then he sighed helplessly. He wanted to say something but did not speak.
But Li Meizhu obviously understood what she meant, and sighed: "For us, let alone tens of billions... we don't know when we will get the share..."
"By the way, Seulgi, are you familiar with Yuan?" Liu Zhiyuan asked curiously at this time.
"We are quite familiar with each other. Endy and I are close friends of the same age. We met him not long after he joined the company." When Jiang Seulqi mentioned this, she laughed and puffed up her cheeks, which made her look a bit shy, but even more so. Most of them are really silly.
"Jinjia? Then tell us about Yuan, what is his usual personality... Wow, several members of our group are his fans..."
"Normally..."
Several girls gathered together to discuss in a low voice, while the male idols who just sat over seemed a little embarrassed at this time. Even though they are seniors, they are of the same sex after all. For someone who is far behind in terms of ability, popularity and even revenue. It is really difficult to appreciate a male idol from the bottom of my heart who is far beyond myself and not of the same dimension, let alone discuss his affairs with gusto.
55 billion, it’s too far off, and some of them still haven’t received their share.
As Pei Zhuxuan listened to several girls discussing Chi Jingyuan in low voices, he was still thinking about the number he saw in the news, but he couldn't explain how he felt now.
Originally, she should be happy for the other party, but...
Thinking of my initiative in the park and the recent contact via mobile phone, my emotions suddenly became a little complicated.
But congratulations to him, Peninsula artist ranks second.
Pei Zhuhyun pursed her lips and blinked, then changed her sitting position and leaned on Sun Shengwan, feeling a little more comfortable.
After resting for a while, they started practicing again, and it didn't come to an end until dinner time. The members of the four groups and the teacher thanked them, and prepared to go have something to eat before coming back to continue practicing in the evening.
Of course it's impossible for so many of them to eat together, but it doesn't matter if they go out together.
Redvelvet walked in front, Jiang Seulqi and others were still chatting quietly with the two members of Lovelyz who were leaning aside. Bae Zhuhyun was listening and walking in front.
Faced with the topic of Chi Jingyuan's income, a group of people from inner and got7 were a little uninterested, that is, ja Aniha Saiyo...senpai Aniha Saiyo..."
Whether it was Pei Zhuhyun, Lovelyz, or even the two boy groups, they all felt a little surprised. Chi Jingyuan, who had been chatting just now, suddenly appeared in front of them.
And after looking at today’s hot searches, when they saw this senior artist, it was hard not to associate him with 55 billion won.
Although they were bowing and saluting, many people were looking at Chi Jingyuan not far away from the corner of their eyes, with joy, surprise, envy, and displeasure in their eyes.
"..."
The two people who were talking excitedly were interrupted by a voice. They couldn't help but turn around. Seeing the group of people in front of them, Li Xiuman's smile immediately faded a little. A faint smile appeared on his face and he nodded gently. No sound was made.
As soon as Chi Jingyuan turned around, he and Pei Zhuxuan secretly glanced at him in the air. They stared at each other's shining eyes for a moment, then smiled and nodded in return.
"What a coincidence?" Chi Jingyuan glanced at the people at redvelvet and asked actively.
One sentence.
"Guilty..." In front of Li Xiuman, even Son Seungwan didn't dare to say anything, and he and Jiang Seulqi squeezed out a smile and nodded.
Seeing that these groups were a little afraid to move forward after seeing him, Chi Jingyuan smiled in his heart, whispered to Li Xiuman, then turned to redvelvet and nodded, and then said with Li Xiuman walked out together.
"Hey Yigu, I feel so stressed standing in front of them. I don't even dare to say anything." Seeing these two people walking out of the side door, the somewhat solemn scene suddenly relaxed. Several people could be heard exhaling. Li Meizhu patted her chest and felt inexplicably emotional.
"Senior Yuan... are you familiar with Director Lee Soo Man?" Yoo Ji Won looked at the defense line on the side, leaned over and asked Jiang Seulqi in a low voice.
"I don't know, I guess so..." Jiang Seulqi blinked, a little unsure.
Of course she knew about Chi Jingyuan's royal treatment in the company, but she didn't know the details. Today was an eye-opener.
Pei Zhuxuan, on the other hand, looked at the place where Chi Jingyuan disappeared from sight and bit her lower lip without making a sound.
…………
"Is this true?"
Chi Jingyuan didn't go far, but chose a Western restaurant nearby. Just after ordering, his phone vibrated, and when he took it out, he saw that it was from Pei Zhuxuan.
Before he could ask what was true, the other party immediately sent another message, which was a screenshot of today's hot search "Chi Jingyuan's revenue is 55 billion, ranking second among Peninsula artists."
Seeing these two text messages, he thought of Pei Zhuhyun and others' surprised expressions when they saw the news. He laughed suddenly, shook his head and replied: "Fake."
Then he posted another message: "I haven't actually counted the specific figures myself. The exact income will only be known after the company calculates the share. I don't even know how the program team knew about it. "
"In this way..." Pei Zhuxuan, who was also sitting at the dining table waiting for the food to be served, nodded slightly. Thinking of the meeting just now, she pouted and sent another message with a somewhat inexplicable mood: "Why don't you ask how many of our groups are together? What are you doing in the company?"
Seeing this news, Chi Jingyuan blinked.
Is there any need to ask? Four idol groups from different companies gathered in SM. It looked like they were practicing for the year-end collaboration stage.
Not only redvelvet, EXO also has many such collaboration stages at the end of the year. This year, there is a solo collaboration with infinite, and there is also a collaboration stage with the three groups EXO, infinite, and beast.
It's just that there are only three people in XO, and Chi Jingyuan did not participate.
After thinking about it, she asked as she wished: "Okay, what do you guys do in the company?"
"……nothing."
Three simple words, but he could feel the obvious dissatisfaction in the other party's heart.
It's really cute.
Just when Chi Jingyuan was thinking about how to reply, Bae Zhuxuan sent another message. When she opened it, she found that it was a selfie. In the photo, she seemed to be sitting on a stool in a restaurant, with the angle of view tilted from below, half facing her nostrils. The wrinkled nose seemed to reveal her mood at this time.
Chi Jingyuan finally discovered that Pei Zhuxuan has a strange habit of taking selfies in private. She likes to take pictures of her nose from bottom to top. She doesn't know how she developed this habit.
After looking at this selfie for a while, Chi Jingyuan suddenly felt happy. He said something to Li Xiuman, stood up and walked to him, took a mobile phone and took a photo of the two of them together. The angle of view was exactly the same as Bae Zhuhyun's, diagonally from below. Up to the nose.
After sending it to her, she quickly received a reply, a speechless ellipsis:
"..."
