"girlfriend?"
Li Xiuman asked with a smile as he looked at Chi Jingyuan who was sitting back on his seat after taking selfies with him and playing with his mobile phone.
He is not stupid. Chi Jingyuan has been sending text messages for a while and is still smiling happily. He just ran over to take a photo with him. Judging from his experience as a big boss in the music industry, he is definitely chatting with a female singer. .
"no……"
The food has been served. After sending the last message, Chi Jingyuan put his phone away, raised his eyes and thought about it before shaking his head: "Not really."
It really doesn't count. Although Bae Zhuhyun couldn't hold back her emotions that night because of the song "Let It Be" and took the initiative to express her affection and engage in intimate actions. However, after she calmed down, she seemed to put that night out again. The turbulent emotions were calmed down and put into my heart again, but I didn't lose my mind because of the feelings.
However, in this short period of time, the contact through mobile phones has become much more frequent. From time to time, we will send some selfies. Occasionally, the tone of talking to each other will be a little ambiguous. Anyway, the feeling of friends is much better than before.
Chi Jingyuan thinks this is actually quite good. For him, the relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend does not mean that they develop an impulsive and strong liking as soon as they meet, or that they get together after enough ties and accumulation of feelings. It’s just that If a man and a woman fall in love at once, even if they are really dating, he doesn't think they can last long, and they will probably break up in a few months. After finally meeting a girl who can make him feel good, it's best not to be so hasty.
It's good like this now, with some ambiguity and expectations, but not so many constraints.
And in this relationship, he is the person who says, "I love you less than you love me." He is not anxious or panicked at all, and he is not worried about falling into the river while sitting on the fishing platform.
As for what will happen in the future...
Isn’t it all written in the song? Just let it take its course.
"It doesn't count? Is this more popular among you young people now?" Li Xiuman obviously misunderstood. He raised his glass and took a sip of wine. There was a hint of sigh in his tone that 'people's hearts are not old' nowadays.
"..." Chi Jingyuan didn't explain either. He raised his head and squinted his eyes and laughed twice.
After eating for a while, Li Xiuman seemed to have remembered something, and took the initiative to remind him: "For Jingyuan, the company will certainly not object to such things as dating, but usually you should be careful not to be photographed in private. , even if you go out, you have to disguise yourself well, even if some media companies or your home can stop it, but if you are accidentally photographed by a fan and uploaded directly, even if the company denies it, it will definitely have a very bad impact."
Chi Jingyuan himself and the TV station may not know exactly how much his revenue is this year, but the company must know it. He is currently SM's latest super thick golden thigh, both as himself and as an EXO member.
"I see."
Chi Jingyuan didn't say anything like, "For the company, the fans, and the career, I won't fall in love for the time being." He just nodded slightly to show that he had remembered it.
In fact, even if he accidentally took a picture of his date and uploaded it online, SM would definitely contact public relations and directly deny it. Some fans would not believe it even if they saw the photos that seemed to be there, but for Chi Jingyuan, it was actually okay. .
But according to his understanding of the extent of his fans' craziness, once such news is exposed, even if it is denied, the woman with whom he has an affair will definitely be attacked by Yuan's fans. If she is an idol, it may have adverse effects on her career. Small impact.
So even if you don’t cause trouble to others, it’s still better to be careful.
The two chatted for a long time because of a selfie, but after talking for a while, they quickly got to the point and continued to talk about the album:
"As for the choreography, just follow the style you wrote in the planning report you gave me last time. Come up with a sample first, and several dance teachers in the company will help you complete it together..."
…………
"55 billion a year, can a boy band really make that much money?" Kim Taeyeon looked at Chi Jingyuan sitting next to her, grinning with a questioning look, her eyes were jealous and she smacked her tongue.
On the evening of the 18th, the cosmetics brand Nature Republic held a year-end party. As spokespersons, all EXO and Kim Taeyeon were naturally present. At this time, the stage performance had ended and it was time for leadership speeches and employee awards. The seats of the spokespersons watching from the audience were also assigned close to each other. After Kim Taeyeon's wave just now, Chi Jingyuan took the initiative to sit over from the edge.
Speaking of which, he and Kim Taeyeon haven't seen each other for a while. SNSD has fallen into silence since Jessica left the group. Even at the end of the year, there are no activities. They have no plans to participate in the SBS Gayo Daejeon that is about to start. I mean, the last time Chi Jingyuan saw this sister was when he read the news about their Dongdan concert on the Internet.
Today, Taeyeon is wearing a long white dress, with slightly curly dark brown hair spread to one side. She is ladylike and fashionable. Just looking at her upper body feels very good and feels good, but overall, she is slightly short in height and slanted. Her thin figure looks a little uncoordinated, even if she wears high-heeled combat boots of more than ten centimeters, she still feels that way.
Speaking of which, how tall is Bae Zhuhyun?
The two of them looked ahead and chatted quietly about the most popular topic recently about Chi Jingyuan.
A few days ago, the program released a 'Peninsula Artist Earning Ranking' and it became a hot search the next day, and the popularity has not weakened by half in the past few days and has even become more and more intense, especially for Chi, who is ranked second. As one of the income gaps, Jingyuan is particularly eye-catching in this ranking because he debuted for only two years and is the only artist with an idol background.
One of the faults is that in the top rankings, there is a big gap in income between Kim Soo-hyun, who is number one, and Ji Kyung-won, and there is a big gap between Ji Kyung-won and Jun Ji-hyun, who is third. There is also a gap, and the income gap between the people after Jun Ji-hyun is getting wider and wider. The fourth, fifth and sixth people combined are not as much as anyone before them.
Regarding Kim Soo-hyun and Jun Ji-hyun, the public sighed and let it go. After all, they are both popular actors who have been debuting for many years. Needless to say, Jun Ji-hyun, who became famous very early with "My Sassy Girl", even Kim Soo-hyun also made his debut. It is understandable that a well-known young actor who has acted in popular TV series and movies for seven years can earn so much in the first half of the year by relying on the hit TV series that became popular in Asia.
But Chi Jingyuan has caused a lot of controversy. In addition to fans cheering and showing off everywhere, chasing the VIP who is one of the current mortal enemies: "How much does your Oppa earn per year?" "Why can't someone's name be listed on the list?" I kept asking. Some people said that the program team made it up randomly and did not believe this data. Others felt that this income was too high for an idol who had only debuted for two years. More people felt that this income was incompatible with his identity and status. There is really a mismatch in terms of seniority. It is really a bit too much for such a young idol to surpass so many senior actors and entertainers with high qualifications.
It’s also a bit enviable.
What's more, there are some people who don't know whether they are out of their minds or have serious intentions. They go to SM and Chi Jingyuan's Instagram and ask them to disclose their income data. Of course, such behavior will definitely not get any reply.
However, there were quite a few passers-by who joined in the fun and had no objections after seeing it. In addition to being amazed, they also expressed admiration and understanding. After all, Chi Jingyuan was indeed very popular at the end of last year, and EXO was also the most popular in Xia Kingdom. A popular boy band, Chi Jingyuan is naturally very popular with manufacturers and advertisements. Fans will fully support the things he endorses. Basically, most of the brands that will be advertised will have significant sales in the next period of time. growth, the combination of multiple attributes makes it so popular, and it is understandable that the revenue is so high.
They were quarreling with each other, and in just a few days, basically everyone in the entertainment industry, or at least the music industry, had heard about it.
"Is it possible that it's not the boy band that makes money..." Chi Jingyuan turned sideways, tilted his head and blinked at her: "It's just that I make more money?"
"Tch." Seeing his appearance, Kim Taeyeon curled her lips as if she was vomited.
Although she knew that the ranking data produced by this program was not true and contained many fabricated elements, and even though she knew that even if it was true, she would still need to share it with the company, but to be honest, she was really envious after seeing it. I felt sour in my heart.
It’s not just her, Kim Taeyeon doesn’t need to ask. She knows that many people are full of jealousy just from SNSD, not to mention other groups that earn less.
Including XO's dividends and royalties, that's 50 to 60 billion won a year. Even if the Peninsula girl group reaches the top of Girls' Generation, they don't know how many years of personal sharing it will take to earn this amount.
Maybe many artists started out for the stage and dreams in the early stage of their debut, but after a while, their enthusiasm faded and they returned to reality. Unless those whose families are in a good condition and are really not short of money, the most important thing for them is income.
Like Girls' Generation, and even so many idol group members, they often have conflicts and quarrels over the distribution of resources. In the end, the competition for so many resources is just to increase their popularity and convert it into income.
If she, Kim Taeyeon, can make 50 to 60 billion a year, then why not just be lazy at home for a year or two and do what she wants to do.
How to spend it specifically...
As she thought about it, her pupils were a little dilated as she looked in front of her, as if she had fallen into her own world, leaving Chi Jingyuan next to her speechless. Why did this sister suddenly become distracted while she was talking?
Chi Jingyuan didn't bother her. After a while, Kim Taeyeon came back to her senses, turned to look at him expectantly, and asked tentatively: "Okay, you are good... but actors are really good." Is that profitable?"
"Arnie."
Chi Jingyuan knew what she was thinking at a glance, and shook his head decisively to dispel the girl's unrealistic thoughts: "The salary for starring in TV series is very small. In Peninsula, even if the actors reach the end, they can't make much. The main income is still It depends on endorsements.”
Chi Jingyuan doesn't mean to be perfunctory. His salary for filming an episode of a TV series is only 20 to 30 million won, which is already very high. The main income comes from advertising endorsements after becoming popular. Any endorsement he received at the beginning of this year cost at least thirty times the salary.
However, there is no need to say specific numbers. Even if the relationship is very close, it is still easy to hear other flavors when it is stated so clearly.
At the end, Chi Jingyuan added: "You can ask Senior Yoona for details. She is so popular, so she must be very experienced in this area."
"Tch." Kim Taeyeon hummed and stopped fantasizing. She knew that Chi Jingyuan was joking, but of course she would not ask Lin Yoona these things. Topics such as personal income were rarely discussed among their teammates. It was easy to It caused resentment and avoidance by some people. If the news of "Chi Jingyuan 55 billion" hadn't been on the hot search this time and made everyone aware of it, she wouldn't have taken the initiative to bring it up.
And when it comes to making money, although it is not as good as Yuan550, Kim Taeyeon is not bad either.
After stopping to watch and listen to the speech on stage for a while, Kim Taeyeon asked quietly again: "I heard that XO's return next year has been confirmed? If XO is like this now, next year's return is really important, and the planning should be done It’s pretty awesome.”
"I will release a few single albums first..." Chi Jingyuan nodded and introduced briefly. It is impossible to hide such a thing from the same company. There are so many people involved and I just asked casually. And he felt that there was no need to hide it. Anyway, the company would officially announce it in a month or two.
"Omo, the four single albums are combined into the second album, and they can continue to come back and maintain the popularity. It sounds really awesome." Taeyeon's eyes flashed, and she seemed to like EXO's comeback plan very much.
"Nu, where are you guys from SNSD? This time next year should also be crucial."
Although Girls' Generation didn't have as many people quit the group as EXO, the situation was not much better. The only comeback in 2014 saw a significant decline. In the second half of the year, Jessica's incident happened again. All award ceremonies and gay battle stages were silent at the end of the year. This has already proven their current decline. Many left-behind ones on the Internet are now worried, fearing that they will not hear the news about Girls' Generation's next comeback.
"It is confirmed that I will return next year. This is something that the company has already agreed upon when renewing the contract. However, the specific plan is still under discussion and has not been finalized. The members attach great importance to it... I hope that the sones will be satisfied by then. ." Kim Taeyeon said a few words with disappointment and expectation, and finally sighed slightly sadly. Obviously she is also very aware of SNSD's current situation, and she is also very heartbroken and sad to see those fans who have left.
Chi Jingyuan didn't ask when the solo she had been looking forward to would be. It would definitely be launched after Girls' Generation returns at the earliest.
He shrugged his shoulders and gave a good wish:
"Come on..."
He doesn't know whether Girls' Generation will cheer or not, but EXO will definitely fight.
…………
As the end of the year approaches, there are more and more activities. In addition to some TV programs and interviews and commercial performances, there are also various celebration parties, book signings, year-end parties and other activities organized by many cooperative brands. , both Chi Jingyuan and EXO will be present to participate.
In the past few days, I have attended several parties, large and small. Ji Jingyuan also joined in the fun at LG’s dinner party as a spokesperson for the entire line. What’s even more outrageous is that Baskin-Robbins, the ice cream brand endorsed by EXO, was still there for them on the 20th. A book signing was held.
God knows what kind of signing event an ice cream brand would hold in the dead of winter in December. Not to mention eating ice cream, Chi Jingyuan felt cold just sitting there, and he wished he could hold a cup of hot drink in his hand all day long.
Unexpectedly, there were so many people at the autograph session, and the entire venue was packed. He didn't know whether to praise EXO for not losing popularity, or whether the fans were crazy enough back then, or to feel that the stomachs of Peninsular people were really strong. , it seems quite normal to eat ice cream and cold drinks in sub-zero temperatures.
After a few days of busy work, EXO and other artists gathered at the SBS Gayo Daejeon main venue in Sanxingdong, Gangnam District, and began to prepare for the Gayo Daemon that is about to start tonight.
"Anihasay..."
The EXO group, led by their staff and managers, had just entered the lounge arranged for them. The four red velvets, who had arrived much earlier than them, quickly stood up and came together to bow to them.
Li Chenghuan had told them on the way here just now that because the party was held in a temporary venue, there were not many separate lounges, which meant that a few groups or artists with high popularity or seniority could have their own There is a separate lounge, and the others are basically mixed together and use one.
As a newcomer who just debuted and is so confused, Red Velvet has already taken advantage of the company by joining the Gayo Daejeon. They definitely don't have their own separate lounge. It is inconvenient to share a room with so many other people. , why not borrow it from EXO here? Anyway, the place is relatively spacious and can accommodate so many people, so the company just arranged it like this and let them pass if needed.
It seemed that their agent might have told them something. At this time, the faces of several girls looked a little nervous.
Nodding as a greeting, several people from XO walked in and put their bags next to them. Several people crowded on the sofa together, listlessly keeping each other warm.
"Let's rest for a while and don't run around. The venue manager will notify us when it is our turn to rehearse. It will not be in the order of the evening performances. If you go out, remember to check the time. In the end, you will have to go through the entire process..."
Li Chenghuan first said hello to Red Velvet's manager, then walked over, clapped his hands and began to explain the schedule for a while. When he was preparing to finish, he suddenly saw Chi Jingyuan after hearing the word 'rest'. He skillfully took out a pair of black-rimmed glasses from his shoulder bag and put them on, then took out a game console and started playing. He immediately paused, opened his mouth and looked at Chi Jingyuan and said helplessly: "Jingyuan. Ah, can’t you do something else every time you come to the lounge?”
"ah……"
He pressed the power button on time and was about to start working after Li Chenghuan finished speaking, but suddenly Chi Jingyuan raised his head when he was cueed. In addition to hearing the laughter of several members next to him, he also felt the attention of Pei Zhuhyun and others. They were all attracted to him. His eyes under the glasses blinked. Chi Jingyuan spread his hands innocently: "Do something else? Then I'll go out and play with Brother Chanye later..."
"Ah..." Park Chanyeol looked over with dissatisfaction, feeling like he was being dragged down.
"Hahahaha..." The few people who were still laughing quietly immediately became wild, and their uncontrollable laughter directly dispelled the sleepiness that had just enveloped their heads.
When they first debuted, they wouldn't dare to say this in front of Li Chenghuan, but now it's been more than two years, and they have become familiar with the agent and the company's management has become more relaxed, so it doesn't hurt to joke.
The red velvets in the corner looked at each other a little confused, as if they didn't understand where these seniors were laughing and why they were laughing so happily.
Just seeing how relaxed the members of this senior group were when talking to their managers, I felt a little envious.
After looking at each other, Pei Zhuxuan turned his gaze back there, and his eyes flashed when he looked at Chi Jingyuan, who was wearing black-rimmed glasses.
"You... forget it..." Li Chenghuan shook his head speechlessly, and was too lazy to care about Chi Jingyuan. Instead, he glared at Park Chanyeol: "Chanyeol is talking about you, don't run around later!"
Before Park Chanyeol could refute, Li Chenghuan waved casually and pushed the door open and walked out.
"..." The sound of closing the door sounded, and the lounge suddenly fell silent. In less than two seconds, another burst of laughter came. Jin Junmian smiled especially happily, reached out his hand and patted Park Chanyeol's shoulder, speaking with sincerity. Instructions: "Have you heard Chanyeol? Don't run around later."
"Ha ha……"
"..." Feeling Park Canye's angry eyes staring at him, Chi Jingyuan raised his hand to show his unintentional: "Ani, brother, I just said it casually, but actually I'm quite envious of you..."
"Hahaha..." Wu Shixun was particularly arrogant, laughing so hard that he almost stopped breathing. Bian Baekhyun was also holding someone else's waist and shaking all over. Others may not be able to understand why they laugh, and it’s hard for them to explain. Only people within XO can understand this kind of thing that concerns members’ private styles.
"..." Park Chanyeol held it in for a few seconds and laughed angrily. He found a place to sit down and crossed his legs. He was originally planning to go out directly to visit, but now that the manager has just finished explaining, he must give him face and wait for a while. Let's go again.
Chi Jingyuan turned to look at red velvet. He smiled and nodded with a few friends, and looked at each other and blinked at Bae Zhuhyun before looking away. It didn't matter that XO members were here, mainly Lai De Beibei's agent and assistant are also there, so there are still many things to pay attention to.
Before he could find a comfortable position on the sofa and start playing the game console, there was suddenly a burst of noise outside, as if someone was arguing about something, or just having a quarrel.
I just got up in the afternoon and I feel much better today. I coded the update around 38.
There will probably be three or four chapters left in 2014.
Thanks for the encouragement, buddy, please pay attention to your health. It’s really uncomfortable when you have an erection, so I’m going to show you my heart!
(End of chapter)
