Chi Jingyuan looked into Ming Jingnan's eyes, blinked and smiled, then gently knocked on the window, and finally looked at her for a second, ignoring the lost and stunned look in her eyes. He walked directly to the car.
, after telling the driver "send them back", he turned and walked towards the car parked behind.
He felt that several eyes from the car in front were following him until he opened the door and let Pei Xiuzhi get in first. Then he got in and disappeared because of the obstacles.
The car door closed with a "bang" sound. Chi Jingyuan sat in the back seat of the car and leaned against the back of the chair. He exhaled and closed his eyes slightly, feeling a little tired. A fresh and unique perfume smell lingered around. Pei Xiuzhi moved this way.
She got close to him, looked at the car in front of her that had not yet driven away, and said with a narrow smile: "Why, that little girl has a crush on you?"
"…………"
Chi Jingyuan opened his eyes, turned his head to look at the iconic face close at hand, and curved the corners of his mouth: "I don't know her very well...how about you?"
"What a coincidence?"
The two people's heads were very close to each other. Pei Xiuzhi bent her eyes and looked at his: "I'm not very sure either."
"..."
"Go to Longshan District..."
Chi Jingyuan looked at her and smiled, inhaled and smelled the somewhat sultry smell, then turned to the driver and reported the address. The driver responded quickly and started the engine, and the car quickly drove away.
.
After seeing Chi Jingyuan's car drive away, the car in which Najing Nan and the others were riding also quickly started driving towards the address of the JYP trainee dormitory reported by sana.
After the car started moving, the comfortable environment made them feel at ease. Minatozaki Saka and Hirai Momo discussed in a low voice what had just happened.
They had been too scared to speak out before, but now they could finally relax and talk. After experiencing so many things in such a short period of time, they felt like they had a lot to say.
Najing Minami was leaning on the car door on the right side, with her arms placed across the window sill to support her chin, her head resting on her arms as she looked at the lights and street scenes passing by outside, her pupils losing their proper focus, quietly
He sat there without saying a word.
She did not follow Chi Jingyuan's instructions to close the window, but instead opened it wider as if she was angry.
The night wind that kept coming under the motion of the car blew her hair away and slapped her face constantly. The temperature at night seemed to be getting lower and lower, and Mingnan's slightly thin clothes seemed to be unable to protect her.
It's just that she didn't seem to feel it. She put her head on her arms and looked outside silently. Her tightly pursed lips could be vaguely seen in the messy hair.
"Mina."
After chatting for a while, the two friends next to them felt Mingnan's loss. They also vaguely knew the reason. After looking at each other, they took the initiative to comfort each other: "Senior Yuan..."
Minazaki Saka just wanted to discuss and evaluate Chi Jingyuan, whom they met for the first time tonight, but they suddenly remembered that there was a driver sitting in front of him, and their comments behind them might reach Chi Jingyuan's ears.
, so she immediately shut her mouth, blunted it for a moment, and then talked about other topics:
"Mina, didn't we grab the tickets for EXO senior Nim's concert in a few days? Let's go together then."
The cautious Minazaki Saka used honorifics in private situations. At the same time, she smiled and touched Nai Minami's back. She slid her right hand from her back to her slightly exposed waist and started to rub it:
"Besides, EXO is so popular. They will make a comeback soon. You can see them on TV every day. If there is a chance to debut in the future..."
"Um……"
Najing Nan looked back at the two of them and smiled suddenly, revealing his neat upper teeth and a hint of gums.
She retracted her arm from the window sill, spread the five fingers of her right hand like a comb, and combed it from her forehead to the back of her head. She pushed back all the messy hair in front of her head, then shook her head and shook her hair, pursed her lips and said seriously
: "I just suddenly... really want to make a debut."
She looked at the top of the car, with some confusion and longing in her eyes.
"I really want to make a debut." Hirai Momo didn't delve into Mingnan's thoughts, but echoed.
They left home all this way to work as trainees on the peninsula. Naturally, they all had the goal of debuting and becoming idols.
"We have been arranged by the company to be candidates for the neon group's debut. We will probably have the opportunity soon." Minatozaki Saka also smoothed her hair, looking forward to it as well.
"By the way, Senior Junhao's side..." She suddenly thought of the name and said it hesitantly.
"Ah."
When Mingnan heard this, she who had been smiling couldn't help but rolled her eyes, leaned back and said nothing.
My initial impression was quite good. He is a senior who has been debuting for a long time. He has always been very enthusiastic, very cheerful and has a good appearance.
Now...I don't want to hear this name.
Seeing Nai Minami's reaction, Saka Minatozaki pursed her lips and did not continue.
………………
Nai Nanban sat on the bed in his dormitory, burying his whole head under the blanket.
Since she and the other two people were not in the same dormitory, they said goodbye to each other in the corridor after being sent to the door by the driver. They quietly came back to wash themselves, then got into the bed and covered themselves with a blanket.
She will definitely be taught a lesson by the head of the trainee room tomorrow, but she is too lazy to think about that now. Although she has not been here for a long time, Minami has already seen peninsula's strict management of trainees.
Under the blanket, Minami opened her eyes and looked at everything dark in front of her. She couldn't fall asleep no matter what. As soon as she closed her eyes, what happened just now flashed back in front of her eyes like a movie, and then replayed, finally freezing at
The scenes that impressed her most deeply were repeated over and over again.
What a mess.
Alas, she hugged the blanket and covered her head with a sigh.
Tonight, I met her idol whom she has always liked up close, and saw that he looked completely different from the one in the camera, and found out that he seemed to be dating Bae Suzy.
Especially what happened later, when Nai Minami felt that she might never forget the feeling when she stood up in despair and was pushed down by the other party to sit on the sofa again.
Coupled with the comparison between Li Shengli and Li Junhao next to him, it feels even more inexplicably complicated.
After tonight, she had some other feelings for this idol that she had been chasing. She couldn't say that she liked him, but in her heart she really wanted to get to know him, get close to him, know his contact information, chat, talk, etc.
It's just that it's really uncomfortable to be rejected when I take the initiative to ask for contact information. The image of the other party refusing with a smile and then turning around and leaving still keeps popping up in my mind. The grievance and loss in my heart have not yet eased.
Really, I really want to debut now...
She had only been practicing for a few months and didn't know when she would go.
………………
On the other side, on the high floor of a high-end apartment building on Itaewon Road, Yongsan District, Chi Jingyuan hugged Bae Suzy tightly, responding to each other's enthusiasm while opening the door of the apartment, and the two of them hugged each other and swayed
He walked in leisurely and closed the door casually with his legs.
After entering, he didn't even go inside. He just pressed against the light yellow painted wall and huddled together. The sound of clothes being ripped and the sound of suppressed breathing could be heard constantly in the dark room.
The loose bat shirt that Bae Suzy wore today is really very convenient. Chi Jingyuan felt it when he was in the club, and now he seems to be at ease with it.
The other party's only outer shirt did not provide any protection, and even had a lot of counterproductive effects. The white skin vaguely exposed in the seams looked even more attractive.
It's just that super tight jeans are quite troublesome. The frame has some big curves and some steep edges, so it's impossible to get them out of the jeans.
Chi Jingyuan relied on his memory to slowly guide her to the bedroom inside. She stumbled and knocked down many things along the way, but no one cared about it at this time. The hot atmosphere filled the whole room.
After walking into the bedroom and throwing it on the soft mattress, Chi Jingyuan turned on the light with a 'pop' sound, and immediately heard a dissatisfied groan.
"Turn off the lights!"
"It doesn't matter."
"close!"
"It doesn't matter."
"......Then...just leave it on..."
………………
In the early morning, it was just dawn, and the bedroom with the curtains blocking the light was still dark. Chi Jingyuan reached out and pressed the alarm on the cell phone that kept ringing on the bedside table, rubbed his face vigorously with his hands, and then sat up directly.
Walk towards the bathroom.
A smooth and white shoulder was revealed from the quilt that had been lifted up a lot because he left. The smooth curve of his back extended down to the depths of the quilt without any obstruction, and was finally hidden in the darkness.
After washing up a few minutes later, Chi Jingyuan returned to the bedroom. He first picked up his phone and sent a message to Park Jae-hyun, then glanced at Pei Suzy, stretched out his hand to pull up the quilt, and started to get dressed neatly.
"Why so early?"
When Chi Jingyuan was dressed and ready to go out, Pei Xiuzhi sat up, covered herself with a quilt, couldn't open her eyes, and looked at him with a frown.
"There are a lot of things going on today. I have a birthday party tonight and I have to go there early in the afternoon."
Chi Jingyuan didn't look back, straightened his clothes in the mirror and answered at the same time.
"Your family is obviously like this..."
Pei Xiuzhi rubbed her eyes, closed them hard and then opened them again. Looking at Chi Jingyuan who was about to open the door and leave, she asked with some confusion: "Why are you so tired? Why don't you relax a little and ask for leave to go later?"
It doesn’t matter.”
"Um……"
Chi Jingyuan stopped when he heard this, looked up at the ceiling of the apartment and thought for a while. After pondering for a few seconds, he turned to look at Pei Xiuzhi, with a smile on his face but a very serious tone: "I think, do
What you like and are willing to do, it’s better to be more attentive.”
"Besides, there are so many people supporting me, right?"
Smiling and raising an eyebrow at Pei Xiuzhi, Chi Jingyuan opened the door of the apartment and waved gently behind him: "The keys are on the bedside table... Let's go first, call me."
The door was closed with a crisp sound. Pei Xiuzhi stared blankly in the direction of the door, feeling dazed for a moment as the words just echoed in his ears.
………………
"Jingyuan, happy birthday."
After going downstairs, Park Jae-hyun had already been preparing for a long time. When he saw Chi Jingyuan walking over, he patted his shoulder, smiled and blessed him.
"Haha, brother, thanks."
With a cheerful smile, Chi Jingyuan nodded his thanks, opened the door and got into the car. Park Jae-hyun also got into the cab, and the car started immediately.
Chi Jingyuan, who had just received birthday wishes, received bad news not long after the car started driving.
"real?"
"Well, you will know if you take out your mobile phone and look online. Now the hot searches on naver and other websites are all about this matter."
Chi Jingyuan was stunned for a moment, took out his phone and logged in, and soon found the bad news Park Jae-hyun just said.
"The popular male idol group EXO's comeback title song sound source leaked, special stage video link xxxx"
"The sound source and dance video of EXO's comeback title song "Overdose" were leaked, which may seriously affect this comeback."
"The performance of EXO-K's "I Need U" and "Overdose" songs were leaked, or it was done by SM insiders."
"…………"
Seeing these hot search terms, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but frown.
In the second mini-album "overdose" that was originally scheduled to be released on the 15th, two songs including the title song were leaked in advance.
I clicked on a stage video link, and soon the familiar music of "i need u" came.
"When did it happen?" Chi Jingyuan turned down his voice a little, and his expression was not very good.
"At three o'clock last night, someone announced it on all major music forums at the same time."
Park Jae-hyun, who already knew what happened, replied directly.
"At the same time, is there a plan?"
"It should be so. After all, you XO are the most popular boy band right now. You have blocked the way of many people. You are not the only one who dislikes you."
Park Jae-hyun nodded, feeling that this matter was actually quite obvious.
"The sound source was leaked in advance... It's really annoying to have this kind of thing happen again when we're about to make a comeback."
Chi Jingyuan looked down at the video screen on his mobile phone and curled his lips: "Let's see how the company handles it."
Sound source leaks happen from time to time in the Peninsula music industry. It may be that the company did not pay attention to its own problems, internal staff accidentally leaked the information themselves, or it may be that some competitors deliberately looked for opportunities to cause trouble.
Of course, there will also be people who simply have bad brains and get the sound source due to certain connections, and then show off and share it and post it online in advance for everyone to listen to.
But no matter what, this kind of thing is a trouble. The most important thing is that the sound source is leaked in advance, which will have a great impact on idols who are about to return.
Because listening to songs on Peninsula’s charts requires money, and idols also need the support of fans and passers-by. If you listen to the songs in advance, your enthusiasm will be reduced a lot, and it will also affect the album to some extent.
sales volume.
Moreover, leaking audio source information itself involves illegality. This kind of thing may also be suspected by conspiracy theorists to promote their own company, which will affect the reputation.
Different brokerage companies attach different importance to this kind of thing, but the methods of handling it are basically the same, which is basically delaying the release of the return album, changing or directly removing the leaked songs.
But now there is no push for EXO's comeback. The original series of supporting promotional items have been decided, and the tickets for the showcase are gone, so it is difficult to change anything.
And if we push it any further, the concert will be postponed.
It is not very reliable to change the songs or simply remove them, because today is the 13th and 15th. It is not possible to do anything in just two days, and the album has already been poured in the factory and is ready to be shipped. How can I change it at this time?
Song……
It still depends on how SM handles it.
"Jingyuan, here we come."
Park Jae-hyun drove very fast, and soon Chi Jingyuan arrived at the company and walked into the practice room. The members of Team K gathered around and talked enthusiastically. They all nodded to him when they saw him walking in.
Everyone else felt that Chi Jingyuan had gone to celebrate his birthday yesterday. With his treatment, not coming back for one night was nothing, and they didn't even bother to ask.
After Chi Jingyuan said hello to the members, he also found a seat and sat there. After listening to it, they were indeed talking about the leak of the sound source in advance.
"Isn't this so-called special stage video the pre-recorded video we gave to the TV station a few days ago? It must have been leaked by the TV station."
Park Chanyeol's voice was full of dissatisfaction, and the volume was so loud that it echoed back and forth in the practice room. It was obvious that he was in a bad mood.
It's normal to be in a bad mood at this time. Even the six of them, including Chi Jingyuan, didn't have a good expression.
What Park Chanyeol said is right. The number of clicks on the Internet is currently extremely high. The leaked special stage posted on the hot search is actually what several members of the K team showed to the program crew to arrange the shots for the stage performance after the comeback on the 15th.
and camera dance video.
In the 7-minute video posted online, the six of them, wearing name tags with their names written on them, danced continuously to the songs "I Need U" and "Overdose" in the practice room.
Generally, in the first week of a popular idol group's comeback, in addition to the title song, there will also be an additional stage performance time for another song in all singing programs. This is a benefit for popular idol groups, as they can show off more.
Show your face to promote the other songs on the album.
In addition to "overdose", EXO will also have a special performance of "i need u" in their first week of return.
I just didn't expect that the video used by the TV program crew to identify people and familiarize themselves with the filming process would appear online.
If it's not an internal problem within SM, then it's probably the TV station staff who sent the video.
"This kind of thing is not easy to investigate, and even if it is discovered, what can be done, it has already been leaked." Jin Junmian sat there and sighed, obviously he was going to return the day after tomorrow, and he felt that his luck was really bad.
"Where's Brother Seunghwan?"
After Chi Jingyuan listened for a while, he asked aloud.
"The company started a meeting early in the morning to discuss how to handle this matter, and Brother Chenghuan also went together as our representative."
Do Kyung-soo looked at him and explained, then added: "I've been there for a while, I guess I'll be back soon."
"Um."
Chi Jingyuan nodded, and while listening to the arguments of the members, he took out his mobile phone and opened the leaked video. He did not look at the recording video of the practice room version that he had seen before, but looked at the comments below:
"Which bastard leaked the audio source and affected XO's return. We can't forgive you."
"Hajima, the oppas are coming back soon. If something like this happens, the return will not be postponed again..."
"kkkkkkkk That's great. The mini-2 will definitely be affected by the leak of the sound source. I declare that this is the turning point where EXO starts to go downhill. I'm laughing so hard. EXO should die! kkkkkk"
"Which song in the video is the title song? Is it the 'overdose' at the end? But why do I feel that the first song sounds better? I feel very good listening to it and the dance is great."
"When the title song name was announced, it was followed by "Overdose". The first song "I Need U" can't be said to be better, but it is still great. I feel it is better than the title songs of other boy groups. As a included song
It’s really outstanding.”
"However, in the video, although Yuan has a big name tag on the front, you can still recognize that there is a big Doraemon logo on the front of his gray sweatshirt... It feels like in the materials exposed before and now, his usual private server is
In this style, does this thing really look so good? Yuan likes it so much?"
"…………"
The situation is not bad. Most of the comments below are concerned by EXO fans and passers-by expressing dissatisfaction and condemnation of the leaked music. However, there are also many messages gloating about the misfortune, which Chi Jingyuan simply ignored.
As EXO's fan base expands, so does the number of anti-fans and people who are unhappy with them. This is inevitable.
What’s interesting is that in addition to some people focusing on Chi Jingyuan’s private server, many people expressed their liking for the song “I Need U” after watching the video, and even overshadowed the title song “Overdose”.
Hope to see a more formal stage performance soon.
I say this because the video is not very clear, it can only be said that people can barely be seen clearly.
After all, it was recorded for a TV station, and the members didn't dance too seriously. Except for the very accurate movements, the rest of the dance had a bit of a paddling feel. Some of the movements were just perfunctory, similar to the usual rehearsals for singing shows.
The news about the leaked EXO music source is really hot. It was posted in the middle of the night last night. It was at the top of the hot searches on various websites early this morning, and the number of clicks has been rising.
This kind of unexpected thing outside the market really attracts the attention of passers-by. It seems to be a little more popular than EXO's official released music source...
Quite ironic.
Chi Jingyuan didn't comment for long before the door to the practice room was pushed open. Li Chenghuan walked in with a folder, Lin Xuanjun and other managers in a hurry. After seeing that Chi Jingyuan was already here,
She nodded lightly to him, then walked to the middle, clapped her hands, signaled to all the members, and then began to explain:
"In response to this leak of our EXO music source, the company has just requested the relevant music source service provider to interrupt the service as the copyright owner. There has been no response from them, but there should be no problem."
"The other most important thing is that the leaked date is too close to our comeback. We only have two days left before our comeback. There is also a showcase to be held tomorrow. There is not enough time to change the album songs. It will definitely be postponed.
impossible……"
As he said that, Li Chenghuan glanced at everyone: "So the company decided that this time XO's album will not have any changes due to the early leakage of the sound source. It will just follow the songs of the previous original album... But just taking advantage of the popularity, in the last two days
The company will take this opportunity to carry out corresponding publicity measures."
"Jingyuan, for your birthday party tonight, you and Sehun have prepared a special stage, right?"
"Inside." Chi Jingyuan glanced at Wu Shixun and nodded.
"Finally, we will add a stage of "i need u" performed by the whole K team, which will be performed in advance for all the fans who are present at the birthday party. The company's VJ will follow the whole process and upload it to the Internet after the end."
"According to the investigation of the publicity department, this song has attracted the attention and love of many passerby fans. Since the sound source has been leaked, we will simply announce the official stage directly. The company will use this to carry out large-scale publicity and give tomorrow's
showcase and acquired sound source release and return stage warm-up.”
"Although I'm already very familiar with it, remember to practice it again later to avoid making mistakes at night." Li Chenghuan looked at the six members with a serious expression.
"I know, brother." Everyone nodded and responded.
"By the way, the company will issue an announcement later. All external responses will be as stated in the announcement. Just refer anyone's comments to the company. Do not express any other opinions..."
"Brother, do you know who the person who leaked the sound source is?" Park Chanyeol interjected at this time.
"The company has already started an investigation. It should be a problem with the TV station, but even if it is found out..."
"Okay, you guys should practice for a while. I'll come back later." Li Chenghuan did not continue, but gave a few final explanations and then walked out quickly with others. He looked really busy.
Looking at the backs of a group of people walking out, several members sighed and looked at each other. Jin Junmian ran over and plugged his phone into the stereo and played the accompaniment of "I Need U":
"Let's practice."
…………
After taking a lunch break, Chi Jingyuan, who received the call, disguised himself and came to the appointed place, which was under the alley sign where they met last time.
Looking at Zhou Ziyu standing in front of him with a smile on his face, Chi Jingyuan blinked and took the wrapped gift she handed over, and then looked at her grinning and looking at him with her big eyes:
"Happy birthday."
Thank you for the tip, brother, thank you very much, I show my sincerity to you!
