"Hey, have you seen it? There is a new white Mercedes SLS AMG parked in the parking lot downstairs. It is the latest top-of-the-range 2014 Black Series. I like this model so much that I went to learn about it. It is in the peninsula.
It’s hard to buy and the price is a bit too high.”
"I also like this model quite a lot, mainly because the gull-wing doors are really cool."
"Why did there suddenly appear to be such a luxury car in our community? Is it a new one?"
In the evening, the door of EXO's dormitory was opened, and several members who were going to shoot a Line TV commercial and run a promotional schedule today came in. They were changing their shoes and chatting excitedly, especially Park Chanyeol and Kim Jong-in, who chatted happily about
The topic of cars was so loud that it even drowned out the sound in TV programs.
"After I get the share this year, I plan to switch to a coupe. The sports car does look a little different."
"Want to buy the Mercedes model too?"
"I guess it's too much. The car downstairs probably costs 700-800 million or almost 1 billion. If I spend all the money to buy the car, I won't be able to invest in other things. I'm also planning to buy an apartment in Seoul..."
Park Chanyeol and the others walked in after changing their shoes and chatting. They went to the living room and waved hello to the members who were sitting on the sofa watching TV. Do Kyungsoo on the sofa was attracted by the topic of their conversation and looked at the few people.
, asked with an incomprehensible expression: "What are you talking about, what car?"
"Didn't you see a new white Mercedes-Benz sports car parked downstairs?" Several people were also stunned. Wu Shixun pointed in the direction of the window, which happened to face the parking lot of the community.
"I saw it..."
"It's that car, the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG series. We saw this model in a magazine last year. It's really handsome. I guess it's some of the new neighbors who moved in..." Wu Shixun sat down on the armrest of the sofa, beaming.
Talked about it.
Do Kyung Soo and Jin Jong looked at each other on the sofa, their expressions became a little strange. Looking at the members who had just returned and chatting excitedly, Do Kyung Soo blinked and interrupted him directly.
: "That car belongs to Jingyuan."
"..."
The few people who were chatting happily suddenly became quiet. The heated atmosphere in the living room that had just been restored came to an abrupt end as if a valve had been removed. Several people were stunned for a moment and opened their mouths not knowing what to say, as if they heard wrongly.
Same.
"Jingyuan's?" Wu Shixun paused and asked in disbelief.
"Nay, didn't he get his driver's license in the past two days? He asked for leave at noon and drove a car back. In the afternoon, I even sat in it and took a ride for a while."
Do Kyung-soo nodded, took out a chocolate bar from the package in his hand, put it in his mouth, chewed it, and explained it naturally.
When we were filming the commercial, no one in the entire group except Chi Jingyuan liked to eat this food. Chi Jingyuan tasted it himself and thought it tasted good, so he bought a few boxes. From then on, most people in the dormitory started to feel fine.
I just went to him and picked up a pack. This chocolate bar has become one of EXO’s favorite snacks in private.
Maybe he thinks other people’s food is delicious, and other people buy Chi Jingyuan’s every day instead of buying it themselves. Chi Jingyuan doesn’t care, he has repurchased several boxes in a row now.
"...That's it..."
Park Chanyeol and Kim Jong-in looked at me and I looked at you. They felt that they were no longer interested in talking about cars, and no one mentioned the 'gull-wing doors'. After a while, they squeezed out a smile and left a bit perfunctory.
The next sentence was instantly scattered.
"..." Do Kyung-soo glanced at the backs of them as they left, looked at each other and pursed their lips, saying nothing.
The media broke the news that Chi Jingyuan earned 55 billion yuan last year. Of course fellow EXO members have known about it for a long time. After all, they are all teammates in the same group. The huge disparity in the income of a single member will indeed make some other people dissatisfied.
Although everyone has actually already understood and got used to Chi Jingyuan's uniqueness, but the income figures are clearly displayed, it still makes you feel uncomfortable when you see him surpassing him by so much, so usually EXO rarely talks in private.
They will discuss this topic, and this time the matter is brought out from the side through the new car, which naturally makes them a little less interested.
55 billion. The EXO group’s annual revenue last year was estimated to be slightly higher than this figure.
At this time, Chi Jingyuan was sitting on the bed playing with his mobile phone. He had just uploaded a few photos and selfies with Kim Jonghyun on his INS, and captioned them with 'BASE, Fighting!' to prepare for the start of the fight tomorrow.
We did some publicity for our SOLO activities.
"BASE" is the title of Kim Jonghyun's solo album this time.
After seeing Wu Shixun walking in, he raised his head and nodded his chin as a greeting. After thinking about it, Chi Jingyuan raised his head and asked, "How was the shooting of your commercial?"
"The filming has been completed. Thank you for not going. It was really boring. I said it was camping. In fact, I found an open space in Jiangbei, set up a tent, and played some childish games on it. It was so embarrassing to play. It was obviously very boring.
You have to shout for the effect..."
When Wu Shixun heard this, his face instantly became extremely exciting. He waved his hand and briefly explained the process, his tone full of disgust.
At the end of his speech, he sat on the bed. After holding it in for a while, he finally couldn't hold it back and asked out of curiosity: "By the way, how much did you pay for that Mercedes-Benz?"
"You mean that SLS downstairs?" Chi Jingyuan raised his head after hearing this, thought briefly for two seconds, and answered hesitantly: "I don't know... I didn't ask..."
He really didn't know. After making the selection, the second brother just threw the key over without even discussing the price.
"go to hell."
But when I heard Wu Shixun's ears, I immediately felt that this bitch was really not good at pretending. He was so out of his mind that he took the initiative to ask questions, giving him a chance to pretend. Wu Shixun directly pointed his middle finger and said angrily, and turned around on the bed.
He pointed his butt towards Chi Jingyuan and started texting with his girlfriend.
"..."
Chi Jingyuan shrugged his shoulders innocently, feeling that he had been deeply misunderstood.
The prejudice was still so deep that he didn't bother to explain it and continued to look down at the messages on his Instagram.
Even though Chi Jingyuan is not doing much business, his number of INS fans has reached nearly 9 million and is approaching the 10 million mark. Not only is he unrivaled among EXO members, he is also among the stars of the entire Peninsula.
At the top of the list, Park Chanyeol and Oh Sehun, who have the most fans among other XO members, only have about three million fans now. Among male idols, the closest one is Big Bang's GD.
The highest among female idols is Kim Taeyeon, with more than three million Instagram followers, which is more than double the lead of the second place.
Although Chi Jingyuan does not frequently do business on INS, his fans are very active. He can often chat with himself on the message board. Various chats and jokes make it very lively and so sticky.
And the loyal fan base also makes other idols really envious after seeing it.
Even though the main character is so lazy, the fandom is still so high, that is, only Chi Jingyuan.
With a quick glance, the most liked post came to my attention: "Yuan, you finally remembered that you still have an Instagram. You haven't updated your Instagram for 203 hours. I don't know what you are doing, but he
If you're so lazy and don't operate, why don't SM companies just ignore it?"
"God knows how complicated my mood was when my phone prompted me that Yuan had updated his Instagram. I was happy because I could see the hot new selfies, but sad because this lazy idiot could fish again."
"Yuan and Jonghyun seem to be very close. It's rare to see him help promote someone's comeback. Since Oppa has helped promote it, we, Aili, must support you. Girls, come on!"
"!! It turns out that Yuan and wuli Jonghyun have such a good relationship. On behalf of the Shan family, I would like to thank everyone for your support. The second brother's solo is of absolute quality. Please pay more attention to Jonghyun's solo tomorrow!"
"Borrow! Dear Aris, at the Seoul Music Awards, please remember to vote for the Korean Wave Special Award for the Obamas. Don't vote for the Popularity Award! Don't vote for the Popularity Award! Don't waste your votes! In addition, remember to vote for the Golden Disk Award and the Record Award."
Please vote for audio sources, because Cha Dan will not attend the audio source awards! Don’t vote for the wrong one!”
Shinee's fans were very surprised, and many glitter fans left messages expressing their gratitude to Chi Jingyuan.
Except for the fact that when each group first debuts, they are likely to be wildly attacked by their senior fan groups, SM groups are usually quite harmonious despite the company's efforts to create "family love."
Although EXO was scolded miserably by fans like SJ, Shinee, and Girls' Generation when they first debuted, many old fans who have been following them until today feel angry when they mention this, but after all, it happened before, and times have changed.
I don’t care much about those things anymore.
And now they have a new common enemy, Red Velvet.
Today is approaching the last two major award ceremonies, the Golden Disc Awards and the Seoul Music Awards. Major fan groups are also working hard to vote crazily for their idols. Even if it does not affect the awards, it will have the opportunity to make their idols more popular.
They are willing to work hard for one or two awards.
However, when it comes to voting, EXO has not faced any opponents since the second half of 2013. Although the group has lost a lot of fans now, they still have a big advantage in voting because of the crazy fans.
Thanks to the hard work of Ariel, in the early morning of January 15th, before dawn, the EXO group boarded a plane with the company's personnel and flew to the capital of Xia Kingdom, preparing to participate in the event held at the MasterCard Center tonight
Golden Disc Awards Recording Division Awards Ceremony.
In order to promote Kpop and expand Kpop's influence, this year's Golden Disc Awards specifically held the party in mainland China. At the same time, the award ceremony was also divided into two types: the music department and the record department, which were held on the 14th and 15th respectively.
Held every day.
Yesterday, on the 14th, the awards ceremony for the music department was held. The music award was taken away by Taeyang. He knew in advance that he would not win the award, so Ji Kyung-won did not go. However, Bae Suzy attended alone and took away the award with "some".
Annual Trend Award.
This award is only half as valuable, and is better than nothing.
Chi Jingyuan watched the live broadcast on TV for a while last night and found that the venue was not actually full. There were many empty seats. Moreover, the enthusiasm of the audience throughout the night was not very high, and there was no support or cheering.
The local fans in the peninsula are so enthusiastic.
Although several previous organizers have been working there for a long time and done a lot of publicity, in fact, Kpop in mainland China is still a niche category, and there are not many idol artists with high reputation and popularity.
It’s hard to say that in the mainland of the peninsula, but in Xia Kingdom, EXO is the hottest and most popular group with the craziest fans.
In the absence of the most popular EXO, the music department party could not help but seem a little deserted.
In fact, except for a few groups such as XO that have a large number of fans and are very popular in the mainland, other groups are prone to encounter a cold start here. For example, during the red carpet segment, most groups are walking on the red carpet.
I encountered a cold spot every time.
When several groups of idols were on the red carpet, taking photos, and signing autographs, the fans present did not react much, which made the idols walking on the red carpet in front of them feel more or less embarrassed, as if they were too young to be there.
Red Velvet and Bestie, who were the first to appear, these girl groups have little fans or popularity in the mainland. They don't even know many people who have walked on the red carpet, let alone cheering.
Although they are not famous, the makeup of the girls in Ledebei is quite good. They wear black and white skirts. In the winter, when the temperature is almost sub-zero, they reveal four pairs of white legs. Chi Jingyuan is stunned just by looking at them.
I feel a little cold for them.
He felt that Bae Joo Hyun's long black hair that stuck to her scalp was a little ordinary and was supported by her face. In comparison, Kang Seulgi was the most outstanding among the four people on the red carpet. She wore a ponytail and looked gentle and quiet, which was more lovable.
Moreover, the local organizer seemed a bit unprofessional.
Chi Jingyuan was waiting in the room with the members to prepare to walk on the red carpet. Looking at the live red carpet footage on TV in front of him, he sighed in his heart.
It was VIXX's photo session just now, but the BGM given by the organizer was their EXO's "Roar". As soon as the music started, fans thought it was XO coming out and screamed. When they saw the person, they realized it was not EXO and they quickly became quiet.
, the situation suddenly became extremely embarrassing, and even the host was speechless and didn't know what to say.
VIXX signed their name on the billboard and left quickly, as if something was chasing them from behind, and they didn't know what their mood was at the moment.
The fan support culture in the mainland is still in its infancy compared to the peninsula. Except for Girls' Generation TTS and CNBLUE, which had a little more support, the red carpet of the first dozen groups of artists was a bit deserted, and they stayed silent for most of the day.
Many of the Aili present below were already a little impatient. Under the enthusiastic speech of the host, EXO finally boarded the red carpet. All nine of them were dressed in straight suits and trousers. The first one, Park Chanyeol, caused a stir as soon as he appeared.
Far beyond the screams just now, it reached a peak when Chi Jingyuan came on stage at the end of the team.
Even though they are all wearing the same clothes, the difference in body shape and temperament is still very obvious.
"Chanyeol, Chanyeol!!"
"KAI!KAI!"
"Ah ah ah, Yuan, look at me, look at me, look over here!"
"Chi Jingyuan! Ahhhh..."
Among so many artists appearing on the red carpet, EXO’s specialness was immediately apparent. They have been working in the mainland for more than two years, and Chi Jingyuan and the EXO-M team’s activities here have made the entire group more famous than
The cheers made the red carpet of the Golden Record Product Department feel like their home stadium. Alli who was present spared no effort in shouting loudly, which immediately heated up the atmosphere.
.
"We are one, Aniha Saiyo, EXO Yimeda."
"We are one, hello everyone, we are EXO."
What was different was that after standing in a row, EXO saluted twice in Korean and Chinese to say hello. When they heard the familiar local accent, the screams below increased by another decibel.
The previous artists all took photos and signed autographs before leaving. Even EXO had a special conversation and greeting session. Park Chanyeol and the others took the microphone from the host and said a few particles in broken Chinese, '
Hello, thank you, I love you, etc. Although it sounded a bit awkward, it still made the fans very happy, and they cheered one after another.
Chi Jingyuan kept smiling and stood on the right side watching their performance. After signing his autographs, he waved to the girls behind the fence who kept screaming at him crazily and then walked off the stage with the team. EXO
This is the last group of artists on the red carpet. After them are today's MCs Jeon Hyun Moo and SJ Lee Teuk.
To be honest, from Chi Jingyuan's point of view, although EXO has received a lot of welcome and there is no silence at all, today's red carpet session is still quite a failure. Not to mention various mistakes and episodes, except for a few artists, the overall scene is
Deserted.
It can only be said that the main fame and popularity of Kpop are concentrated on those top idol groups. No one knows the second- and third-tier groups and some silly groups at all. The overall publicity still has a long way to go.
Golden Record did not have an artist booth in the front. All the idols stayed in several large separated lounges backstage. Because their managers were watching nearby, they did not have much communication, except for a few people who were familiar with the company.
The group of artists whispered together.
Among the artists who came today, the largest number were from SM. SHinee’s Taemin was the only one here because of his solo, Girls’ Generation TTS, EXO and Red Vevlet.
A group of artists from the SM family were sitting together chatting. Taemin and Kim Jong-in had been laughing together mysteriously every time they met since they were young. Huang Miying became an MC, while Taeyeon and Seohyun sat together.
Next to EXO, the younger sister Red Velvet, who had just debuted, was sitting on the side in a polite manner. They didn't dare to interrupt in front of the seniors, so they could only listen and give a few cheering smiles.
"Hey Yigu, your popularity in Xia Kingdom is really high."
Xu Xian was talking to Kim Junmyun and others, while Kim Taeyeon sat directly next to Ji Jingyuan, took off the more than ten centimeters of red Hentiangao from her feet, flexed her toes, and said to him with some emotion.
One sentence.
"No, compared to Taeyeon, your girlhood must be worse..." Chi Jingyuan glanced at Taeyeon's toes with red nail polish and said modestly with a smile.
In fact, it’s not modest. Girls’ Generation has been popular for so many years and its popularity in the mainland should still be higher than EXO. However, the support and support from fans are not comparable. The ten generations of female student fans here are not those uncles at all.
Powder can touch porcelain.
"Tch, that's what you can say..." Kim Taeyeon glanced at Chi Jingyuan, then changed her feet and took off her shoes to rest.
These female idols who are not tall enough are really tired for such occasions. The high heels of more than ten centimeters look a bit seeping, let alone having to wear them all the time to dance on stage.
Chi Jingyuan was leaning on the table, chatting and laughing with Taeyeon. His eyes casually glanced at Bae Zhuhyun, who was sitting next to him, looking over at her. Their eyes collided in the air.
Bae Zhuhyun has changed her look and put on the stage clothes she will be waiting for. She is wearing a red close-fitting long-sleeved and pleated skirt. She has a high ponytail tied behind her head and a red headband. She also wears a pair of white high-waisted socks.
Up to the knees, the whole person looks exuding a youthful and energetic atmosphere, which is quite eye-catching.
It's just that the black pair of Hentiangao on her feet are similar to Kim Taeyeon's.
Pei Zhuxuan smiled lightly and couldn't tell what was in her heart. She looked at Chi Jingyuan and blinked her eyes, but there was no reaction and she turned her gaze to the side.
"..." Chi Jingyuan seemed to understand something in his heart and laughed secretly, without paying too much attention, but continued to chat casually with Kim Taeyeon.
He has now mastered a lot of Bae Zhuhyun's expressions and movements. Usually when he accidentally looks at each other, he is usually not shy, but smiles happily and blinks. Now, although he is smiling, he is looking directly at
Actions in other places indicate that you may not be very happy.
In contrast, Chi Jingyuan thinks it looks quite cute.
After resting for a while backstage, the staff came to notify them to prepare. Not long after, the Golden Disc Awards Record Division Award Ceremony officially started at the MasterCard Center. In addition to the two MCs on the red carpet, there were also three MCs from SNSD
Huang Meiying also joined in.
MC Quan Hyun Moo plays the role of Chinese translator. He can really speak Chinese, but unfortunately his very strange accent and many unclear pronunciations make this translator a bit nondescript. Even Chi Kyung Won has
I couldn't understand what he was saying at all times, let alone the audience at the scene and in front of the TV.
So the organizer's problem came up again. Instead of finding a local host or an artist who is proficient in Chinese to be the MC for the party held in Xiaguo, they hired Quan Xuanmao. To be honest, there was no translation.
Not much difference.
It is said that the organizer once invited Chi Jingyuan to serve as MC and translator, but it seems that SM company rejected it due to album preparation.
This choice is really good. In terms of proficiency in Chinese, Chi Jingyuan is definitely the best among all the artists.
After awarding several main awards, the Newcomer Award was given to red velvet as expected, which is also the main reason why they came here to participate this time.
Among the newcomers who debuted in 2014, Winner and GOT7, the most successful and popular, have already won the Newcomer Award in the music department yesterday. Although Red Velvet's results are somewhat mediocre in comparison, SM is a big company after all. With a little work, they can win it.
It’s no surprise that he won the Newcomer Award in the recording department today.
"Happiness, Aniha Saiyo, hello everyone, we are red velvet."
He made several gestures with his hands under his head, and the four people made iconic greeting movements. Ledbebe and the others looked really excited on the stage, and the newcomers also looked very awkward and nervous, and their hands were a little uncomfortable.
Knowing where to put it, Jiang Seulqi and Son Seungwan stood up and started laughing. The smiles on their faces were so bright that they didn't know what they were laughing at.
Bae Zhuhyun must have recited a long list of speeches after winning the award beforehand, and now she said them fluently. I don’t know how long she had been reciting such a long speech in private.
No matter how much credit the company deserves, at least they finally got the Golden Record Newcomer Award, which can be regarded as a big encouragement to Red Velvet, which had a very rough start.
Chi Jingyuan was backstage with his legs crossed and watching the live broadcast on the big TV screen. His eyes swept over the expressions of several familiar girls. He couldn't help but smile and clapped softly. He was a little happy for them in his heart.
