"I thought Oppa didn't see it."
Chi Jingyuan's reply seemed to make the text message owner a little excited, or surprised. The reply was very fast. Chi Jingyuan had just sent it and before he had time to switch back to listen to the song, the new message had already been sent.
"See it now."
As he thought, Chi Jingyuan glanced at it without any desire to say anything more. He replied casually, with blunt words and a hint of ending the call.
I just didn't expect that Lin Nalian didn't seem to notice it, and she sent it again a minute later:
"I really appreciate Oppa's help yesterday. We will have a holiday next week. I would like to treat Oppa to dinner to express my gratitude."
Chi Jingyuan looked at the invitation message and frowned slightly as he read it.
He knew that Lin Nalian hated him very much because of the incident in "Sixteen" last year.
He has a spy in Twice, so he is very aware of how unscrupulous Lin Nalian, who looks like a cute rabbit on the outside, behaves in private. She usually opens her mouth and just shuts up, and has all kinds of bad names. The dirty information comes at random. In addition to slandering his reputation in front of some people in Twice, he also utters wild words about beating him up from time to time...
He even suspected that several of the posts he had seen on the Internet that were criticizing him were all posted by Lin Nalian... Even if they weren't, she would definitely have liked them.
Chi Jingyuan knew that there was a reason for everything. Tuya was just a little black guy and had not done any real harm to him. He would not hate her or anything.
But the impression in his heart was already too deep. Chi Jingyuan was really not used to the tone in which this black man talked to him now, thanking him and speaking to him... Chi Jingyuan could even imagine the rabbit teeth. The way he frowned hard and felt uncomfortable when he heard the word 'Oppa'.
She screamed uncomfortable, and Chi Jingyuan actually felt quite uncomfortable hearing it.
Although he did help her yesterday, it was only by the way...and he didn't believe that just because there was no help in dialogue and communication, a person's attitude could change so much.
Either he was being picked up and had no choice but to say this, or he had some other purpose.
How could Heizi have any good intentions? ...Don’t Chi Jingyuan understand it yet?
He read the text message twice, curled his lips, and asked straightforwardly: "Why do you call me Oppa? Didn't you always call me senior before?"
"..."
This question seemed to have reached Lin Nalian. She did not reply as quickly as she had just replied. It took a while for the new text message to be sent: "Because Jingyuan Xi is a senior who we are very familiar with. He has also written songs for us and worked as a producer. Yesterday, he helped us out, so of course he had to call Oppa..."
Chi Jingyuan glanced at a long string of words with a smooth tone and pretended to be cute. He hummed and sent the text message he had already typed: "New year? Aren't we in the same year?"
Of course he knew that Lin Nalian was not born in 1994. He just said this deliberately because he couldn't see Xiao Heizi pretending to be friendly.
No, I can't block you.
…
At this time, Lin Nayeon, who was in a studio in Seocho District, had finished taking today's photos, and was sitting on a stool waiting for other members to get off work. When she saw the invitation text message she had organized for a long time to send out, she got this Reply, eyes fixed on the few simple words on the phone, and the question mark that represents the tone of the rhetorical question.
The little question mark seemed to contain endless ridicule, which suddenly sparked an evil fire in her heart. Her eyebrows and eyes trembled slightly, her expression tightened, and then she couldn't hold it back after all. She tilted her head back, rolled her eyes, and He looked like his self-esteem was frustrated and made a very vivid grimace.
Then soon she sat back again, picked up her phone and thought about what to reply next.
Guicai is the same age as you. I...forget it, seeing how handsome you were yesterday, I forgive you.
…………
Anticipating Lin Nalian's expression as if she had eaten leftovers after reading the text message, Chi Jingyuan suddenly felt in a good mood. He plugged in his headphones and listened to Blackpink's popular new song... At the same time, just as he expected, Xiao Heizi stopped and did not reply. .
But halfway through, Park Jae-hyun called. Chi Jingyuan could only pause the music and walked out of the practice room to answer the call.
Chi Jingyuan finished venting yesterday and left, leaving the rest of the matter to Park Jae-hyun. This brother is here to report to him on the situation.
Fortunately, Ren Seyong was just a middleman who introduced the relationship. He didn't seem to expect that Jin Changzheng and the two were so impatient, and Lin Nalian from Twice also said good things, so it didn't matter afterwards and just let him do it. gone back.
However, yesterday's encounter should have taught him a lesson, at least for a short period of time, he would not dare to introduce any more random connections. ,
As for Zheng Junying, Chi Jingyuan actually knows him. He met him many times during TV station activities and chatted with him several times. However, yesterday his attention was all on Jin Changzheng, and he just exchanged a glance with Zheng Junying. Just didn't pay too much attention.
At this time, after listening to Park Jae-hyun's words, I realized that this person is really interesting. He was sued by his ex-girlfriend for sexual intercourse the day before yesterday. I don't know where he got the confidence. He didn't take this matter to heart at all, and he was still carrying a As for the case, he immediately followed Jin Changzheng out to play, and he clearly targeted Zhou Ziyu.
Simply teach him a lesson and start working on his case, at least to prevent him from appearing in front of everyone for a while.
As for Jin Changzheng... I guess it will be difficult to see this brother in the future.
After knowing the result, Chi Jingyuan said nothing. He hung up the phone and returned to the practice room. As he was walking on the road, he found another text message sent by Lin Nalian. However, he did not click on it, but briefly After thinking for a while, he directly wrote a text message, entered a small face pattern showing scissor hands, and sent it to the Twice members who sent him a thank you text message yesterday, indicating that he had seen it.
Except Lin Nalian.
Lin Nalian just reminded him that his habit of often being busy or too lazy to reply to messages was fine for acquaintances like Zhou Ziyu who knew him well, but for other people, they would think that he didn't read. If you arrive, or you deliberately don’t reply when you see someone, it seems a bit difficult to contact.
Even if you are not interested in chatting, it is still good to reply a little out of politeness.
After sending out the group message, Mingjing Nan seemed to be okay at the moment and immediately sent him a message, seemingly wanting to talk about what happened last night.
But before they could even talk, there was a knock on the door of EXO's practice room. Yoo Jae Suk and his people walked in. Seeing this, Chi Kyung Yuan quickly spoke to Ming Jingnan and stood up with the other members. Went up to say hello, and soon started the formal work and practice.
"Nayeon...who are you texting with?"
In the studio on the other side, Yu Dingyan, who had finished shooting, walked to the side with his mobile phone and a bottle of yogurt. He looked at Lin Nalian, who was grinning and staring at the mobile phone very seriously, and asked casually.
But before the other party could reply, her phone suddenly vibrated. She picked it up and looked at it, and she immediately laughed: "Ah, Oppa Jingyuan replied to me. He saw the message I sent him yesterday."
Lin Nalian, who had lowered her head, changed her expression when she heard this. She stretched her neck and poked her head over to take a look at the text message on the screen of Yu Dingyan's phone. Then she looked back at her phone, which had been silent since she just sent the message, with a look on her face. He remained calm, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch twice.
After writing a text message in reply, Yu Dingyan looked up and remembered the question again. He asked again with a smile: "Who were you texting with just now? I met you at the last event. It seems that I want to chase you. That male idol?"
When Lin Nalian heard this, she held her mouth and bulged her teeth and moved her cheeks. Then she didn't know what she thought of. Suddenly her teeth were exposed, she laughed, and nodded broadly:
"That's right...that's him."
…………
When news about the Rio Olympics dominated every page, a few days flew by and August 13th soon arrived.
"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"
The audio and video section of Myeongdong Gyoba Bookstore is full of people. The shelves filled with records and CDs are not busy, but they are not deserted either. The speakers next to them are playing the new song "WHISTLE" by Blackpink, the hottest new girl group these days. ”, the iconic whistle echoed around, making people seem to walk a little faster.
The first row of shelves in the audio-visual area is usually filled with records from artist groups that have recently returned to the mainstream. In addition, the best-selling albums with the highest sales during this period will also be placed in the most conspicuous position, with a label next to them. Their reply poster, if you want to know the recent situation and trend of the Kpop music industry, you can know it by just standing here and taking a look at it.
At this time, among the scattered customers, two women dressed like college students in their twenties were standing in front of the shelves and looking back and forth. Their eyes swept over the unique album covers and price tags one by one, but they seemed to There was some hesitation and the target was not found.
"There really aren't any singers that stand out recently..."
One of the girls with long hair and a pretty face looked at the shelves for a long time and shook her head in disgust: "XO's second album is still in the most conspicuous position. It has been sold for more than two months, right?"
"I saw it the day before yesterday. The album "EX'ACT" was still ranked in the top ten in weekly sales on the G list. Although the market has improved now, in terms of sales, EXO's current gap is too severe..."
A short-haired girl next to her put back the Gfirend regular album "LOL" that she had been looking at for a while, and replied: "These two days are the Olympics, and most artists have delayed releasing songs... It's not like there are no good ones. , I think Blackpink’s debut song is pretty good, shush~~”
These two girls are both college students who like Kpop. They are very philanthropic in following any group. However, because they don’t have a job yet and their living expenses are limited, they usually only buy the albums of the most popular group... Some time ago, because of EXO’s second The editor emptied his wallet. After saving for two months, he had a little more money. This time he thought about buying some more and going back to take them apart.
"Oh, don't mention it. I don't like the style of this new girl group. The song "WHISTLE" is not bad but the people are too ugly... YG's fourth ugly group just disbanded because of a scandal. After several years of hype, a new fourth group has been launched. Ugly, the entire company is full of ugliness fetishists, which really affects the aesthetic culture of today’s young people.”
Hearing this, the long-haired girl waved her hands with great disdain and spoke in a very bitter and sarcastic tone. She obviously knew the secret of getting fans to criticize each other.
After saying that, she looked around and said, "Don't talk about girl groups, are there any good male idols who have released songs recently, or are about to make a comeback?"
As she said this, she thought of something and couldn't help complaining: "I don't know if there will be any follow-up reissues of XO's third album this year. It's been two months, and everyone on the fan base and the Internet has been asking about it. There is no news at all. SM’s operation is really SHIT. Taking advantage of XO’s high popularity to do this, any other group would have been scolded..."
The companion next to him nodded in agreement, and then said as if he knew it before: "2PM's Jun. K just released his solo album two days ago. All the songs in the entire album were composed by him alone. Didn't you say 2PM before? Not bad?"
"My favorite is Nichkhun. In the whole 2PM, there is only one Nichkhun who is handsome enough. The others are all male publicists who only sell their muscles. Jun. K is not even the top one in 2PM."
The long-haired girl looked at her companion strangely, as if she had been misunderstood, and then shook her head: "I listened to Jun. …Who can’t write bad songs? I know them all.”
The companion was obviously used to the aggression of his classmates and did not refute anything. He just thought about it and then shrugged: "Then the more popular boy band recently is gone... but VIXX has already predicted that it will be released this week. It’s back, the concept photos and promotional videos have been released, I think they’re pretty good, you can take a look…”
"Oh? Then let me see..."
When the girl heard this, she picked up her phone and started searching. Although VIXX was not a trend, it was still considered a popular boy band. She quite liked last year's "Chained Up".
"This promotional photo...is not bad...has the pre-sale started? Otherwise, I will buy VIXX this time..."
Looking at the VIXX return news, as well as the released album covers and concept photos found on her phone, the girl nodded with satisfaction. Just when she was about to confirm it, she suddenly paused and said quickly: "Wait a minute. …”
Her eyes suddenly saw the hot search column on the right side of the search page. At this time, there were several popular and familiar terms occupying several positions in the front.
Click on it and relevant news will appear immediately:
"SM announced that EXO will officially release the regular third reissue album "Blood & Sweat & Tears" on August 18. The album will add five new songs and two title songs. The pre-sale channel will be opened at 8pm today. It has been made public. The first promotional concept photos of the two title songs..."
A series of news headlines are similar, all reporting the same news that has just been announced.
"Concept photo..."
Seeing this news, the girl's eyes lit up. She opened the link below silently, and a photo that appeared immediately made her pupils shrink.
Exquisite oil paintings hang on the walls, gray stone pillars and pure white human sculptures complement each other. The mahogany floor is covered with polished pure wool carpets, and gorgeous chandeliers, one large and five small, hang from the high ceiling. , the light-colored curtains were half-covered, and the moonlight outside filled the third of the room through the gaps. The background of the hall, which was very medieval and magnificent, but also dyed with a mysterious religious atmosphere, came into view.
In this gorgeous, majestic and mysterious background hall, there are three luxurious velvet sofas, one large, two small, and three small. Each of the nine members of EXO is wearing a gorgeous and exquisite suit, standing or leaning, leaning or standing. The ring is on the sofa.
Among so many members, Chi Jingyuan is in the middle left position of the sofa, dotted with light gray lines, surrounded by silver chain decorations, a suit made of soft suede material, and fine tailoring techniques. His body looks extremely close-fitting, and with the aristocratic knot tied at the collar of his lining shirt, a luxurious, calm, and mysterious style is instantly born.
He was half leaning on the armrest of the sofa next to him, crossing his legs and looking at the camera quietly with a calm expression. The slightly casual movements did not damage the noble temperament in the composition. On the contrary, it gave the whole person a layer of comfort and elegance.
The solemn and elegant background, the gorgeous and elegant clothes, the mysterious and seductive temperament, and an exquisite and exquisite composition appear on the screen, making people seem to be deeply attracted and impacted, like a piece of art. The EXO logo and the song title of "Blood, Sweat and Tears" at the bottom of the picture, as well as the small words of the 8.18 comeback date, are a bit redundant.
"Ahhhh..."
The long-haired girl stared blankly at this newly released promotional photo. She couldn't help but scream in surprise. However, she immediately realized that she was in a public place and quickly covered her mouth, excitedly pulling As the companion next to him kept shaking, he lowered his voice and kept saying excitedly: "This concept photo... is so handsome... this style is really..."
"What?" When the companion next to her saw her appearance, he leaned over and asked strangely.
After a while, a burst of excited discussion came from a small corner of the audio-visual section of the bookstore. Even if it was suppressed, it was difficult to conceal the excitement:
"Dafa! This style is so provocative... Everyone is so handsome, and Yuan's outfit is so sexy... But Baekhyun is okay too."
"I knew that there would be a reprint of SM's Urinary Sex...but this concept photo really shocked me,"
"Double lead? The configuration is very good. Which song is this concept photo for..."Blood, Sweat and Tears"? The name sounds so scary... Let's take a look at the promotional photo of another song."
"The other one is called "LOTTO"? Let me take a look... It feels good, but it doesn't have as much of an impact as the previous one. Yuan's body is too bad... ah, I really want to kiss him!"
"Is it just a kiss? I want to..."
As the happy voices gradually faded away, there was a tacit understanding of the VIXX that had just been discussed. Suddenly no one talked about it...
…………
On the 13th, SM officially announced the return of EXO's re-released album five days in advance and opened the pre-sale channel. The news that fans had been waiting for for so long aroused the attention of fans as soon as it was released. Excitement and tremors in the singing world.
In particular, the very high-quality concept promotional photo released by "Blood, Sweat and Tears", one of the double hits, has become the focus of countless discussions on Ellie. It has become a hot search in a very short period of time, and the popularity is so high. Marvel.
The style and concept of an idol's comeback are extremely important. To be considered successful, fans and audiences must be given a fresh feeling every time. Idols that fail to create a sense of freshness will only seriously wear down the market's patience and enthusiasm.
This time, EXO's comeback style has drastically changed from the darkness and intensity of the third album "Monster" to the luxurious and elegant sexy style of "Blood, Sweat and Tears". The aristocratic dress is paired with a slightly scary song title, which has just been released. All fans felt a strong impact.
In terms of discussion and enthusiasm, Chi Jingyuan and the others changed dozens of clothes and took promotional photos for one night, which can be said to have been a success.
The result of success is that in the past two days, apart from Blackpink, there is another EXO who has been competing head-on with the Olympics.
It's just that SM only released one piece of news and two concept photos of the title song today. There are no other materials or supporting promotions. The title song is just teased and ran away, whetting the appetite of all fans.
No one from EXO even held a live broadcast to show their faces and chat... Because at this time, all the members got on the plane and flew to Neon. Before their official comeback, they had to attend SM Town in Osaka this time.
