Ji Kyung-won held three autograph sessions in Seoul today. He was in Mapo-gu in the morning, and ran to Gangnam in the afternoon. After that, he ran non-stop to Yeongdeungpo. He had three autograph sessions in a row, except for the one in the morning.
I didn't have time to eat any other meals, so I just ate a hamburger in the car as a quick snack.
Moreover, he signed hundreds of fans for three shows a day, and for each signing, he prepared a lot of small gifts for the fans present. Some of the gifts were specially signed, plus some specific TO signatures. Now
He was almost losing feeling in his hands.
However, this was something he brought upon himself. Originally, there were only very few autograph sessions scheduled by SM. There were only one or two autograph sessions per day. A total of only five or six sessions passed easily. It was because he saw the voice of fans online that he decided to
I also wanted to meet more fans, so I proposed to hold a few more autograph sessions. I have many arrangements for the following days, so I can only squeeze them together.
However, although his schedule was very full and he was exhausted, it was really heart-warming to be in close contact with so many fans who supported him, even though his hands were sore and numb at the moment because of too many signatures.
No, Chi Jingyuan is still in a good mood.
What's more important is that he thinks this is what an idol should do.
This time, his solo debut has achieved unexpected results in all aspects, especially the sales data of the album, which has shattered the entire Kpop. The pre-sale of 3 million copies is placed in the history of the entire music industry.
The above are all beyond the reach of people.
On the first day of sales, he became "the solo male singer with the highest pre-sales/first release/first day/first week and even the entire album sales in the history of Kpop." He only had one day to achieve what countless other solo artists dream of.
It even happened within the first minute of release.
Facing these fans who supported him unconditionally, Chi Jingyuan was truly moved and grateful, but he couldn't express much in person. He thought it was natural to hold more autograph sessions and give more back to the fans.
His album was released on February 10th, with pre-sales of 3 million and 500,000 in the first day. However, after more than 20 days of release, the total sales have only reached over 3.8 million, which is still far from the 4 million mark.
Far from it.
If you are a fan of Yuan, you have already bought all the pre-sales. The pre-sales have actually emptied the wallets of all fans. The follow-up "Love" became a big hit and attracted a lot of casual fans, and the popularity of "Light Chaser" in the mainland made the first two weeks
Bucking the trend, nearly 800,000 copies were sold, but this was almost the limit.
Looking at recent trends, the peak period of sales has long passed, and weekly shipments have dropped significantly. There are dozens or hundreds of orders every day. Occasionally, there may be a wave of large orders of tens of thousands of orders raised by the website, but now
Less and less.
There is no way, the Kpop physical market is almost this big now, CBX’s number is considered normal, this volume has reached its limit.
However, Chi Jingyuan's achievements have deeply shocked all the practitioners in the industry. They began to study his album. From the song quality to the style setting, from the album cover to the album configuration, almost all companies in the industry have devoted
We had a meeting to discuss his album.
Moreover, Chi Jingyuan has actually transcended the scope of Kpop this time. A lot of his sales come from the mainland, neon and overseas Europe and the United States. Otherwise, even he would not be able to sell on the peninsula alone.
so much.
This number has actually exceeded the limit, surpassing the EXO group. It can be regarded as breaking the ceiling of male idol solos and even Peninsula artists. He has not reached the top, he has already reached the top.
"Well..."
The car door closed with a 'bang', and Chi Jingyuan, who had finished his last book signing, sat in the back seat of the nanny car a little tired, rubbing his right hand that had no strength at all with his left hand.
I was really tired. I almost couldn't even open the car door with my right hand just now.
"I have nothing to do today... Do you want to go get something to eat?" Cui Zhichang, who was driving, turned around and asked.
"Um."
Chi Jingyuan responded, and as the car started to move, he leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to relax, listening to the quiet exchange between the agent and assistant in front of him.
Just after walking for a while, he suddenly thought of something. He opened his eyes and looked at the roof of the car and thought for a while, and then said aloud: "By the way, brother..."
"Huh?" Park Jae-hyun, the co-pilot, stopped communicating and turned back.
"During lunch today, didn't I mention to you the one who did the first autograph signing, Li Zhizhuixi..." Chi Jingyuan thought about the event and person that impressed him most today, and said softly: "That person in the company
Bian should be able to find the fan information that was registered when the autograph quota was drawn. Go look for it and contact her if you find it... Well, or contact her fiancé. I'll see if I can give her a wedding gift...
…”
While talking, Chi Jingyuan's mind couldn't help but picture the face of that female fan.
Although he had close contact with hundreds of fans in the three autograph sessions today, to be honest, the one that left the deepest impression on him and moved him the most was Li Zhihui in the first one. That person was so precious that after chasing him for several years, he had to leave.
The birth powder to return to life.
I chose to be an idol because I loved this job, the scenery and sense of accomplishment of standing on stage surrounded by fans. After so many years, I have experienced everything, and some feelings that I thought were fresh before have gradually become ordinary.
And the biggest reason why he still maintains his passion for work, besides his original intention, is these all kinds of fans who support him unconditionally, which is really heartwarming and touching.
This is also a characteristic of the idol industry, and he thinks it is one of the best aspects of this profession... Actors may have a higher status and be more prestigious in the eyes of outsiders, but the contact and relationship between actors and fans is not as direct as that of idols.
White and warm.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It's just that...his best fan is about to get married. Although Chi Jingyuan is very happy for her, he can't help but feel a little sad in his heart.
There is no such thing as a banquet in the world, and it is impossible to chase stars for a lifetime. He lost an extremely precious meal today, and he may lose more in the future...
What was once a passionate emotion may eventually become nothing more than a passer-by and a memory.
And after his emotions surged, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional when he recalled what Li Zhizhi said.
It has been five years since his debut, which is a long time for anyone, and the fans who have been following him since his debut are about to enter the next stage of their lives.
So, what about him?
There is also the story told by Li Zhihui, about her and her on-again, off-again boyfriend, the opportunity and medium for the two to separate and get back together, and even get married, and...the song "Loved Before".
Chi Jingyuan listened, but why did he always feel like he had seen each other before...
Recalling her experiences and stories, a familiar face involuntarily appeared in his mind.
At this moment, the mobile phone next to him vibrated suddenly, which woke Chi Jingyuan up. When he picked it up with his left hand and looked at it, his expression suddenly became a little strange.
It's like having telepathy.
Come whatever you want.
Bae Zhuhyun’s text message:
"How's the autograph signing going? Do you have any plans later?"
"I just finished my work and now I'm going to eat. What's wrong?"
"I've written a few new lyrics about what I told you last time... Will you return to the company later when you're done?"
"Well... I'll text you when I get to the music room. You can come directly."
In fact, Chi Jingyuan originally didn't plan to go back to the company. His hands were so sore that he planned to go back to rest after dinner.
However, when he thought of Li Zhihui's story, he suddenly felt a little touched in his heart.
Moreover, work is the most important thing...
…………
After Chi Jingyuan returned to the company's music room, he sent a text message to Pei Zhuhyun. He felt very tired after a busy day, so he lay on the sofa and lazily waited for her. About ten minutes later, Pei Zhuhyun came.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw a pretty young lady standing in front of me.
Red Velvlet has also been very busy recently. Judging from her appearance, she must have finished her trip not long ago. There is a trace of fatigue between her eyebrows, but she seems to have washed her face and removed her makeup after get off work. At this time, the familiar face has Her makeup is not thick at all, but very light, and the small mole on the inner corner of her eye can be faintly seen.
Her black hair was tied into a ponytail behind her head with a cream-yellow hair tie, and swayed slightly to the left side of her face. She wore a light yellow coat with white flowers, which matched her delicate face.
It's delicate on stage, but it looks particularly vivid.
"So soon? I thought it would be very late."
Pei Zhuxuan and Chi Jingyuan looked at each other, with smiles on their faces, and walked in naturally. They looked around at this familiar and unfamiliar music room, and looked at the unchanged decorations on the wall and table, feeling very happy.
good.
It seems like it’s been a long time since I last came~
"Aren't you afraid that you'll wait too long?" Chi Jingyuan watched Pei Zhuxuan walk in, closed the door with a smile, and followed her without holding back a yawn.
"Thank you so much~"
When Bae Zhuhyun heard this, she turned her head and pretended to be cute and winked at him. Her movements were natural and friendly. She didn't look like an ex-girlfriend, but she looked a bit like the ambiguous period of the "Yin Yin" CP.
Then she seemed to smell something. She took a step closer, poked her head, stopped less than five centimeters from Chi Jingyuan's chest and sniffed gently: "Did you eat fried noodles at night?"
"Zhajiang noodles for dinner?"
"How do you know?"
"You smell like this all over your body."
Sensing the man's surprise, Pei Zhuxuan wrinkled her nose at him, then turned around and walked two steps, Shi Shiran sat on the sofa, and said casually: "It's the same family in Yongdeng Putang Cave, then
I have the most chili peppers at home...you even took me to eat them before~"
"Do you still remember this?"
Chi Jingyuan picked up his collar and smelled it, but he didn't know if it was because he was a fan of the authorities, but he couldn't smell the smell that Pei Zhuxuan was talking about...
When they were working together as MCs, the two of them often ate together backstage. From time to time, Chi Jingyuan asked his assistant to go to the store and buy some takeaways, including his favorite mixed sauce noodles.
Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but feel warm in his heart when he recalled the scene of the two of them eating together in the lounge, occasionally chewing reservedly and sometimes devouring, discussing the taste, and picking up each other's dishes.
There are some memories that I usually can't think of at all, but when I mention them accidentally, I suddenly find that I actually miss them quite a bit.
"I remember a lot of things...it's just that you forgot."
Although the tone was light and airy, the complaint contained in it was still instantly captured by Chi Jingyuan. Of course he understood what the young lady meant, but it was just not easy to pick up such words... Mainly because he was too familiar with some technical skills.
There is no need...
Pei Zhuxuan did not pursue him. After she glanced at Chi Jingyuan with her clear but deep eyes, she took the initiative to look away, then looked left and right, sizing up the music room.
Chi Jingyuan glanced at her and noticed a notebook she placed beside her. He knew that this was the notebook she used to compose her own lyrics. Just when he was about to say something to change the topic to business, Pei Zhuxuan suddenly stood up again.
:
She looked around the music room and complained in a somewhat annoyed tone: "Why is your place so messy? Look, it's all dusty... How long has it been since it was tidied up?"
After saying that, she didn't wait for Chi Jingyuan's reply, looked around, walked to the side, picked up a towel hanging there, and started cleaning it.
This SM music room is exclusively for him, because there are a lot of unpublished files and sound sources, and Chi Jingyuan doesn’t like the cleaning staff to come and go frequently, so he usually cleans it himself, and he himself is also a fan of
Neat and tidy people will tidy up before work every time.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But I came back temporarily today, and I was really a little tired, and my hands had no strength at all, so I just sat on the sofa as soon as I came in, too lazy to move.
In addition, I have been very busy recently and haven't been to the music room for more than half a month. There may be some dust and it doesn't look very clean.
But... Chi Jingyuan hadn't even felt it yet, but Pei Zhuxuan noticed it at a glance.
"..."
He was originally here for business, but he suddenly started cleaning. Chi Jingyuan originally wanted to stop him, but just when he opened his mouth, he saw the young lady tidying up the room with great enthusiasm, looking generous and natural.
But he suddenly swallowed back the words that came to his lips.
"Why is this guitar placed here? It's out of place. I remember, shouldn't it be hung on the shelf over there?" Pei Zhuxuan put the broom aside, picked up a guitar leaning against the wall, and carried it to the one next to it.
Hang it on the shelf.
"Get up, pounce, pounce~"
She walked to the back, patted the sofa hard and said an imperative sentence directly like a command. After Chi Jingyuan stood up obediently and silently, she took a towel and patted the place where he sat twice.
"Hey Yigu, look at the dust here, it's all accumulated, blow~...cough, cough, cough, Chi Jingyuan, why are you like this now?"
In front of a cabinet, Pei Zhuxuan frowned when she looked at the dust on it. In order to prove how unclean it was, she pouted and blew lightly, and the dust that suddenly spread made her cough continuously.
She frowned and fanned herself vigorously in front of her face. She turned around and glanced at Chi Jingyuan with disgust. Then, without waiting for his reply, she turned around and wiped the cabinet skillfully clean. She took a towel and went to the bathroom next to her to change.
.
Chi Jingyuan just watched a petite body walking around the room, with a wiggling little butt and a swaying ponytail swaying in front of him, and felt a special atmosphere.
Surrounded by a dense atmosphere.
Bae Zhuhyun has this kind of character. She is more careful. After getting to know her, she will habitually take care of others. I remember that she was like this when the two of them were together. She always liked to take care of and clean others, and every time she did it, she would make a pout.
She was mumbling non-stop, and the skillful way she rolled up her sleeves while she was thinking casually gave her a sense of familiarity with an aunt from the countryside in Daegu, which was very different from her status as an idol and her beautiful face.
One time, he was a little impatient and joked, "Are you Daegu people like this when you get older?"
What she responded to was an unwashed towel that was thrown directly at her, and a flying rocket headbutt.
At this time, looking at the slight sweat on the young lady's forehead, looking at her back as she walked into the bathroom, and looking at her writhing little butt under her tight jeans, Chi Jingyuan never made a sound, but just watched.
He was smiling, but he laughed unconsciously.
Under Pei Zhuhyun's skillful and efficient cleaning, the entire music room became much cleaner in about ten minutes. After the work was completed, Pei Zhuhyun clapped her hands and put things away, but did not sit back on the sofa.
She glanced here and saw that there was nothing on the small coffee table in front of the sofa. She twisted her butt and walked directly to the small refrigerator and water dispenser next to it. She took a disposable cup from it, then turned around and asked
: "How is heating done?"
"There is always hot water inside, just press the red button."
"In this way..." Pei Zhuxuan heard this, picked up the cup and started to collect water. While receiving it, he said in a novel way: "Seungwan has always wanted to get a water dispenser like yours to put in the practice room, but I just said
The agent refused to approve it several times, and she will be jealous to death when she sees you."
"She? She has so many things to envy, enough to make her die hundreds of times."
"Ha, you are really... By the way, her position as the variety show MC has been confirmed again. She said she would finish recording the first season and see how it goes... She asked me to say thank you."
"You have to borrow someone else's mouth to say thank you? It's getting more and more rude."
"Other people's mouths may not work, but what about mine?"
"Well, it's yours..."
Chi Jingyuan was just pretending, when Pei Zhuxuan came back after receiving the water, sat down next to him, handed the cup in his hand to his hand, and muttered: "Tangshan Cave"
The noodles in this restaurant are very salty and spicy. I remember that you always drink a lot of water before eating...but don’t drink coffee so late, I added a lemon for you~"
After hearing her words and thinking of her actions just now, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but feel a sudden wave of emotion in his heart.
Because of the living habits he developed when he was a child, he is different from other peninsula people. Except in summer and when the temperature is too high, he does not like to drink cold water, nor does he like to drink water that is too hot. He always prefers to drink warm water.
Only those who are most familiar with it will notice this small detail and remember it in their hearts.
"Thanks."
Looking at the small hand and cup handed over, Chi Jingyuan said thank you and was about to take it. But just as he stretched out his right hand, he suddenly remembered that his right hand had no strength now, so he retracted it halfway and replaced it with his left hand.
I held the cup in my hand and felt it... it was warm, just right.
Not to mention, the taste of the mixed noodles is indeed a bit strong. Chi Jingyuan actually wanted to drink water after coming to the company, but he just lay down on the sofa and forgot about it... When Pei Zhuxuan said this, he really felt thirsty.
, took the cup and took a big sip.
Pursing the water on his lips, Chi Jingyuan looked to the side. Just when he was about to say something, the young lady sitting next to him seemed to have noticed something. She suddenly reached out and took his right hand.
Pulled it over.
Placed it on her lap, two fleshy little hands directly squeezed his right hand gently...
