Although there were many mistakes that seemed a bit unprofessional, the organizer obviously understood the psychology of the audience very well, including Girls' Generation TTS, who was the most senior among the idols present and was the last to appear, and most of the performers at this Golden Disc Awards party There was only one song on the stage, and only EXO performed for the longest time. Except for the collaboration stage where Kim Jong Dae and Son Seung Wan had a duet song, EXO performed "Let Out The Beast" and "Addicted" consecutively in the second half of the ceremony. Then there was a special stage for "Roar", with three consecutive performances lasting more than ten minutes, making that moment just like EXO's solo concert.
The three songs performed on the stage were all in Chinese versions, which directly pushed the atmosphere of the entire party to the highest peak. Especially when the familiar accompaniment of "Roar" played, the audience screamed in surprise for a long time.
The choreography of the 9-person version of "Roar" may be quite different from the two-team dance mode of the 12-person version, but the familiar intro and melody still make all fans feel like they have returned to the most popular XO the year before. At that time, the whole person was on fire.
Obviously the organizers have done some research, and they also know in their hearts that EXO is beyond ordinary people's popularity in Xia Kingdom, so they specially arranged it this way, and got the desired response and effect.
The atmosphere that had just been ignited did not last long. After EXO and Girls' Generation's TTS performance, it went directly to the on-site advertising session, and the big screen began to play the trailer of Jkie's upcoming movie "The Lion".
The two-minute long movie trailer immediately silenced the entire venue, and even made some viewers at the scene and in front of the TV think that they were in the wrong place or on the wrong channel. I don’t know why it was an awards ceremony to start promoting the movie. , many people were surprised for a while.
Immediately afterwards, Jkie Cheng took the stage and sang the movie's promotional song with the actress. Although this song is not famous, Big Brother Cheng's card is still there, and the audience gave a lot of cheers and support.
After that, he chatted with several MCs on stage for a long time, made a few jokes and promoted the movie again. After chatting for a few minutes, the final award presenter finally came on stage. Jkie Cheng and Hong Zhengdao, the president of JTBC Central Daily News, announced Tonight's grand prize winner in the recording department.
There is no surprise, the Record Award went to EXO, who have topped the list in terms of album sales.
But to be honest, the final movie promotion session was a bit abrupt, making the entire awards ceremony a bit weird. Chi Jingyuan discovered when he followed the members on stage to receive the award and gave a speech. Most of the members, including himself, had won the award. There was actually not much excitement during this grand award, and it seemed a bit bland.
It is obviously the most valuable award in the peninsula music industry. Except for the Seoul Music Awards, which is closer, other MAMAs and MMAs are far inferior in credibility to the Golden Disk Awards. EXO felt that they were not there when they won it today. MAMA was so excited not long ago, but I don’t know why.
I can only say that atmosphere and foreshadowing are really important.
Coupled with the previous deserted and embarrassing red carpet session, the MC's poor Chinese translation and the final speechless movie promotion session, the Golden Record Awards Ceremony held here this time generally does not feel very successful, or even overall. It was quite a failure.
Of course, I must be very happy after winning the grand award. After the encore stage, I bowed and said goodbye to the audience, and the EXO group returned to the backstage. At this time, after the ceremony, all the idol groups and award guests were packing their things. , some familiar people were laughing and chatting together, looking very lively.
As soon as Chi Jingyuan came in, he saw the four members of redvelvet standing together in the corner of the lounge. Bae Zhuhyun stood in the middle holding the Newcomer Award trophy. Several of them smiled happily and looked at the camera lens held by the manager, who was taking award-winning certification photos. .
Seeing how happy they are, it must be their first time taking such certification photos...
EXO first took off the earphones and exchanged them with the staff. Members Kim Junmyun and Park Chanyeol saw their acquaintances walking by and chatted for a while. Ji Kyungwon returned to his position and started to clean up.
After a while, Pei Zhuhyun and others finished taking the certification photos, and then went to the table next to them and started picking up things.
"What are your plans later? Just go back to the hotel and rest?"
After putting some things on the table back into his shoulder bag, Chi Jingyuan didn't even raise his head and naturally asked Pei Zhuxuan who was walking next to him.
Newcomers like redvelvet are currently under the strictest management of the company. Under normal circumstances, such overseas itinerary companies prohibit free activities.
"We will go back to the hotel to change our clothes later. Our manager said he would take us to have something to eat later to celebrate winning the Newcomer Award."
Although the heating was on in the backstage room, it was still a bit cold in a single dress and short skirt. Pei Zhuxuan quickly picked up the down jacket placed on the table and wrapped it around her body. Then she turned to look at her, pursed her lower lips and hesitated for two seconds, whispering He asked, "Do you want to go?"
"..." Chi Jingyuan paused after hearing this, turned around and glanced at Pei Zhuhyun with a strange look, as if looking at Wu Shixun, and said in surprise: "You won't be so happy that you won the Newcomer Award. Are you done? Why are you, Ledebei, celebrating me? Paying the bills for you?"
At the end, Chi Jingyuan put his eyes on Pei Zhuxuan's shiny forehead, watching her smack her lips, and seemed a little worried about her: "It shouldn't be..."
"Yeah!" Pei Zhuxuan clearly felt a sense of humiliation from his sight. She reached out and bumped him dissatisfiedly. While doing so, she looked around with her peripheral vision. Then she probably felt that her question just now was stupid. Soon he lowered his head and covered his mouth in embarrassment and giggled.
Chi Jingyuan shook his head helplessly, but he also laughed and checked the contents of his shoulder bag to see if there was anything missing.
At this moment, he felt someone suddenly hit him on his left shoulder. When he turned around, he saw Kim Taeyeon and Huang Meiying looking at him with smiles. The hand that just hit was obviously Taeyeon's hand.
The two sisters were wrapped in thick coats. One had black hair shawled down one side, and the other had long brown hair slightly curled. They both wore exquisite makeup and looked eye-catching.
"Senior, Aniha Saiyo..." Pei Zhuxuan's greeting voice came from behind. Her voice sounded a little nervous. Unlike Chi Jingyuan, she was very familiar with these two sisters and didn't pay attention to etiquette at all when meeting in private. Even though Having already debuted, Ledbebe is actually not very familiar with many seniors in the company.
"Yeah..." Kim Taeyeon smiled and nodded at her as a greeting, then turned to look at Chi Jingyuan and raised an eyebrow at him, issuing an invitation: "Jingyuan, are you free later in the evening? Let’s go out and play together!”
"Tonight?" Chi Jingyuan blinked.
"Yeah, it's hard to come here once. Anyway, I won't go back to Seoul tomorrow. I just have time to go out and have fun together in the evening."
Taeyeon nodded and waved her hand, looking very interested. Huang Meiying was behind her, with her hands around Taeyeon's waist. She also looked at Chi Jingyuan excitedly: "And I heard Taeyeon say that Jingyuan, you are not interested in the capital. It’s quite familiar, and it just happens to be able to lead the way and tell us which place is more interesting.”
Seeing how enthusiastic these two sisters were, Chi Jingyuan pondered for a moment.
This is not the first invitation for him to go out for the night. It seems that he is also familiar with Xia Kingdom. When they came off the stage and were in the corridor just now, several members of Kim Jong-in called Chi Jingyuan tonight. Go out for a walk, but he had declined just now.
Although he didn't look back at this time, Chi Jingyuanyi vaguely felt that there was a look behind him looking at him casually since Taeyeon and the two asked questions.
"Hmm..." Chi Jingyuan thought for a while, but still refused: "I plan to go back to the hotel and rest early. I have an event to rehearse early tomorrow morning, maybe next time."
In order to participate in the Golden Record, SM artists have all booked into the same hotel, but EXO will not return to Seoul with others tomorrow because they have a party to perform on stage tomorrow night.
"Oh, by the way, you guys seem to have a performance tomorrow, right?" When Chi Jingyuan mentioned it, Kim Taeyeon also remembered that the other party seemed to have said something to her when they were chatting before. She and Huang Meiying looked at each other, which was fine.
He didn't mean to be disappointed. Although he was a little regretful, he still smiled and said, "Then we can make an appointment when we get a chance after we go back. But you have to give us some advice on any fun places nearby."
Chi Jingyuan also smiled and made an "OK" gesture: "I will send it to you later on my mobile phone."
all! "Kim Taeyeon also made a gesture, pulled Huang Meiying and prepared to leave.
Just as she took a step, she suddenly turned back and glanced here. Her eyes glanced twice at Chi Jingyuan and Pei Zhuxuan next to her. She didn't know what she felt. Her eyes were a little weird, but after two glances, I didn't find anything special. After raising an eyebrow at Chi Jingyuan, the two of them left in confusion.
However, these two people don’t take Seohyun with them when they go out, which shows that Girls’ Generation’s internal affairs are not consistent.
Chi Jingyuan watched the two sisters leave, then turned around again and zipped up the packed bag. He glanced at Pei Zhuxuan next to him from the corner of his eye. The girl no longer looked at his back and was pretending to be arranging the table in front of him. The makeup box on the toilet seemed to have not heard their conversation at all. At this time, it seemed to be suppressing a smile with its lips pursed, and it was studying where the black lines on the makeup box would extend.
"Jingyuan, come here to take certification photos!" Chi Jingyuan felt happy and was about to say something when Baekhyun suddenly called him loudly not far away. Chi Jingyuan looked up and saw EXO members Ying was there with Lee Seung-hwan holding a camera, ready to take pictures.
"Here we come." He responded quickly. Finally, Chi Jingyuan tilted his head at Pei Zhuxuan who turned to look over, turned around, and walked quickly towards the members under the gaze of the other party.
After taking the photo, redvelvet had already left. Chi Jingyuan chatted with the Apink people he met. From Zheng Endi's tone, they seemed to be planning to go out for a walk at night, and they also asked him for his opinion.
This group of people are really like runaway rabbits when they attend an event in Xia Kingdom and start having fun whenever they have time.
In fact, to be honest, Chi Jingyuan is not that familiar with the capital. He once went to school in Xia State but was not in this city. He only occasionally came here to live for a while during holidays.
Among EXO, the one who is most familiar with this place is probably Luhan, who has left the group. He remembers that this brother is a native of Beijing. He must be Menqing who knows where there are places to play here. When XO came here for activities in the past, he even led the team along. I have eaten local time-honored delicacies several times.
It's a pity, I don't know if he is here now.
After chatting for a while, EXO took the bus back to the hotel. After changing clothes, Park Chanyeol and the others went out together to have fun. Chi Jingyuan stayed in the room and turned on the TV but did not watch it. He just listened to the sound of the variety show inside. Lying in bed playing game console.
Wu Shixun, who was in the same room, also went out with the group. He was happy to be alone.
In the middle, Li Chenghuan knocked on the door once to see if the members were back. When he came in and saw Chi Jingyuan alone, he laughed twice in surprise and helplessness, and left without saying anything.
It was past midnight and no one else came back. Judging from the situation, they probably went to the club to drink. In this case, they probably wouldn't be able to come back before two or three in the middle of the night.
Although EXO's management has relaxed a lot now, they should have reported to their managers when they went out, but if they play so selflessly and come back so late when they have a schedule tomorrow, these people will definitely be scolded. .
After Chi Jingyuan took a shower, he was ready to rest. As soon as he went to bed, the cell phone next to him suddenly rang.
"Are you sleeping?"
I picked it up and saw that it was a message from Pei Zhuhyun.
Leaning on the bed, Chi Jingyuan thought for a while and then responded with an expression: "(smiley face)"
After replying, the phone went silent. Pei Zhuhyun on the other side seemed a little hesitant and waited for two or three minutes before sending again: "There is an outdoor park on the fourth floor of the hotel. Do you want to go for a walk?"
Chi Jingyuan blinked after seeing the content, then looked at the time and it was already half past twelve.
It’s already very late for ordinary office workers
I have already gone to bed to rest, but for artists, this is actually quite early. Many idols are usually the most energetic at this time.
After raising his eyes and thinking about it, Chi Jingyuan replied "Okay" and then started to get dressed again. He didn't dress up much. He put on a knitted hat with a Gengar pattern and a thick coat. He took the room card and He opened the door and walked out.
The elevator opened with a "ding" sound. After reaching the fourth floor, I walked a few steps. Just after passing through the automatic glass door, a burst of cold air hit my face instantly. Chi Jingyuan, who had been in the heating just now, felt a little cold and couldn't help but tighten. He tightened his cuffs and put his hands in his coat pockets.
He glanced around and saw a figure not far away waving at him with a mobile phone. The screen of the mobile phone was very conspicuous. Chi Jingyuan smiled and walked over quickly. He saw it at a glance. We arrived at Bae Zhuhyun, who was sitting on a wooden chair.
She was wearing a thick sweater jacket, with a baby bear pattern printed on the white plain surface, which looked a bit childish. The close-fitting casual pants were a bit tight. Obviously, she also wore a lot of warm clothes on her lower body. On her feet, she wore a pair of white soles. Pink pattern cotton slippers, small shoes look a bit delicate.
With only a light layer of makeup on her plain face, and the cute little bear wearing a sweater, she seemed to be much younger. Sitting there, she seemed no different from a high school student. .
Judging from the look of her, she must have been sitting here for a while. She probably didn't go out after he replied to the message. She might have come down early. When she saw Chi Jingyuan walk in, she stood up and looked at him with a smile. Arrive in front of me.
"Are you done celebrating?" After taking a look at Pei Zhuxuan, Chi Jingyuan casually glanced around and looked at the outdoor park.
This hotel park is not very large, and you can see the edge at a glance. However, the environment is quite good. The not-so-wide area is well planned. Trees and street lights are used to separate several stone paths. There is a wooden chair every ten meters along the path, and there are plantings around it. The green trees are well maintained and look lush even in winter.
A small wooden pavilion in the middle looks antique under the light of the street lights. Together, it makes the whole park look quiet and elegant, as if it is a remote paradise in a busy city. Occasionally, a few car engines can be heard from the road downstairs. The roars and whistles add a touch of vitality to the place, and at the same time bring the tourists back to reality.
It was getting late at this time, and at first glance, there seemed to be no other residents in the entire park except for them, which made Chi Jingyuan look more relaxed.
"I came back a long time ago. I just found a restaurant nearby to celebrate. I ordered stir-fry. It tasted pretty good, but it was a little spicy..."
Pei Zhuxuan looked at him with a smile and said a few words. When his eyes saw Chi Jingyuan's collar, he frowned slightly. As he spoke, he took two steps closer, stood up slightly on tiptoes and pulled the collar off the right back of Chi Jingyuan's collar. Turned it over.
Chi Jingyuan stood still and didn't let her move. He probably didn't pay attention when he was getting dressed, and the collar on one side was not neatly arranged.
After tidying up, Pei Zhuxuan patted her gently, took two steps back and stood back to where she was before. After standing for two seconds, she smiled at him and sat down on the chair again.
Chi Jingyuan looked at her, pursed his lips and sat next to her.
It was so late at night and the temperature was so low that the two of them stayed up early in the morning and ran to the hotel park to watch the night view. Although it sounded a bit strange, the atmosphere at this time was very good, with a quiet warmth and a little romance.
"How did you XO feel when you won the Newcomer Award?" Bae Zhuhyun looked up at the sky for a while, and then spoke in a soft voice after being quiet for two minutes.
"Newcomer award?" Chi Jingyuan pondered for a while, memories flashing in his eyes.
So, it was already 12 years ago. Two years have passed by. Suddenly, when I think back, I realize that time has passed so fast, and I feel a lot of emotion in my heart.
"Well... I'm very happy. I'm really happy. Although I may not be able to catch up with you, XO was also very unhappy when they debuted. It didn't take long for the entire group to be announced.
Si Banxue is in hiding. Except for me who has some personal schedules, the other members have taken a long break. "
The past situation came to mind, and Chi Jingyuan pursed his lips: "Although I know that it has a certain relationship with the company, I still feel a sense of recognition after receiving the award. The most important thing is to make the members feel that the team has I have a lot of hopes... I remember that many people in the background cried with excitement, including Brother Baekhyun and Brother Junmyeon who cried quite miserably."
As he spoke, Chi Jingyuan sniffed lightly, and a faint smell of shampoo came to him. He turned his head and glanced twice, and when he got closer, he realized that Pei Zhuxuan might have just taken a shower, and his hair had not yet dried with Completely dry and still slightly moist.
He looked at her for a few times, stretched out his hand from his pocket, and took the initiative to cover her sweater and hat.
Originally, Pei Zhuxuan was still listening attentively, her long black hair was fluffy and smooth, but suddenly she felt her eyes darken, and her sweater hat was pressed on her head.
The hat was pressed softly, and the brim of the hat hung in front of her eyes and covered her entire cheek, making her look a little silly and cute.
Feeling a lot warmer all of a sudden, Pei Zhuxuan blinked and did not resist. Instead, she took the initiative to tighten her hat string, looked over with a smile and asked:
"What about you? Are you crying?"
