"Let's not talk about it for now. I'm going to work soon."
Seeing this message, Pei Zhuxuan stopped typing with her hands on the screen. The corners of her eyes twitched slightly. She paused for two seconds, then bit her lower lip and quickly retracted the typed text, looking at what she had typed.
The words disappeared one by one, and the mood couldn't help but become a little less beautiful.
In the end, she didn't know what she was thinking. She was somewhat dissatisfied and tapped Chi Jingyuan's name on the screen twice, as if she could hit him to vent her anger.
They Red Velvet are currently doing styling in the dressing room of a studio in Mapo District. There will be a pictorial case to be shot later. As their return is approaching, various supporting schedules have also begun. These days they have basically
They are busy with various promotions and warm-ups every day. Although they are very tired, because this time the results are very important, they must keep their spirits up every day.
Bae Joo Hyun's first appearance has been finished and she is now waiting for her members on the sofa in the makeup artist's room.
The smile on her face faded slightly. She raised her head and glanced at her teammates who were doing styling. Then she continued to look at her phone and crossed out the interface for sending text messages, and began to check online for reviews of the just-released "ice cream cake" MV.
Since Chi Jingyuan said that just now, the bad situation before the combination should be improved this time, right?
Among the comments posted below, there are indeed a lot fewer people making mindless insults like last year. Instead, most of them are praising the MV for being well shot, the song is nice, and the styling is very good, which makes Bae Zhuhyun look at it.
Unable to hold back, I pursed my lips and laughed again, feeling very happy in my heart and full of expectations for my upcoming return.
I read it intently for a while, and while I was distracted by turning the pages, I suddenly heard the sound of a conversation in my ears.
"XO is really trending recently. You can hear "Call Me Baby" wherever you go. It feels a bit like going back to "Roar" from the year before...
"That's right, anyone can see how much the company invested in XO this time. Just to shoot a MV, so many luxury cars were used in just a few shots. I was still wondering where the company borrowed them from.
...Remember that day when the PD came in to thank Yuan specifically? I was really stunned for a while."
"Who isn't?"
Hearing a familiar name who was talking to her just now, Pei Zhuxuan couldn't help but look up and found that the two cody sisters who were styling the members were communicating in a low voice. She also knew these two unnies, both of whom were with the company.
The stylist I work with frequently has styled their red velvet many times.
At this time, she was not the only one who heard the two chatting. Jiang Seulqi, who was sitting on the makeup chair, kept her body still after hearing this, but curiously asked: "Unnie, are you talking about Jingyuan?"
?”
"Yes." Cody Kim Youna, who was curling Jiang Seulqi's hair, looked at each other and the stylist next to her. Instead of showing off, she nodded in a lively manner: "Let's talk about Jingyuanxi's car."
"I know this, I know this." Sun Shengwan, who had been sitting in a daze for a long time and could hardly sit still, quickly joined in: "It was exposed on the Internet before that Jingyuan seems to be driving a Mercedes now.
Des’s coupe is said to be very expensive and costs nearly one billion won. He was spotted by a fan when he attended Taeyeon sunbae’s birthday party two days ago.”
"I also saw this news. It is indeed quite expensive. But with a top idol like Jingyuan earning so much, it is normal to buy a car like this. Last year, it ranked second among artists in terms of income."
Jiang Seulqi wanted to nod out of habit, but as soon as she made the move, she remembered that she was doing modeling and couldn't move. Her body suddenly stiffened, and she glanced at Cody behind her through the mirror, pretending that nothing had happened, and slowly started again.
He raised his head and returned to the original position, then squinted his eyes and smiled, seemingly satisfied that he had done it without anyone noticing.
Bae Zhuhyun, who was sitting on the sofa a few meters behind her, couldn't help but nodded in agreement. She also thought it was quite normal.
She saw the news as soon as it came out, and went to the Internet to check the information and photos of the SLS AMG for a while. From her perspective, she felt that this car was really good-looking and more suitable for her.
aesthetics.
At the same time, I also looked forward to other things...
"I saw it too, the model is really handsome."
"As expected of Senior Yuan!"
This topic seemed to arouse the interest of several people in Ledebei. Park Soo-young and Jin Ye-rin, who had nothing to do next to them, also joined in and started chatting with each other.
"Ah Ni, we are not talking about this Mercedes-Benz." Seeing that they seemed to have misunderstood what she meant, Jin Youna laughed, shook her free left hand, and said after feeling the surrounding eyes focused on herself:
"We are talking about the other ones...Have you seen EXO's "Call Me Baby" MV?"
"Inside."
"I've seen it."
"Of course I've seen it. I still watched it during public hours."
"When the MV started, wasn't there a row of luxury cars parked on the left side of the screen, and a close-up was specially given." Kim Yoona picked up the hair dryer and started blowing Kang Seulgi's hair a little fluffier, because the sound of the blower could not help but increase.
Some volume: "The Mercedes-Benz that Jingyuan Xi exposed before is also in it, but I'm not talking about that one...but the other cars that appeared in the MV, all of which are his."
"jinjia?"
"Dafa."
Thinking of a burst of exclamation, Son Seungwan almost couldn't help turning his head and looked over. Several people next to him were also very surprised when they heard it. Including Bae Zhuhyun, they all looked at Jin Youna, and they were a little unresponsive for a moment.
Of course they have all seen the MV for "Call Me Baby". The car shot at the beginning is not the focus, and they didn't pay much attention to it when they watched it for the first time. But because it was specially given a close-up shot, they still had a pretty good impression when they watched it again later.
Deeply, one look at the styling and rear spoilers shows that these cars shine with the aura of money.
"Of course it's true. I was one of the cody's who styled EXO that day. I was the one who styled Jingyuan Xi's smoky gray hair color."
In order to prove her credibility, Kim Yoona also specifically mentioned Ji Kyung Won's hair color, which has caused a lot of discussion in this return, and then said a little exaggeratedly: "When I was doing the styling, the PD who shot the MV even came in to follow me.
He expressed his gratitude and seemed to say that there was something wrong with the sponsored vehicle that he had negotiated before. Jingyuan Xi temporarily helped to get the car... It was only then that I found out that these cars were his. If the PD hadn't taken the initiative to speak up, he wouldn't have been there.
The members of EXO probably don’t know... Speaking of it, Jingyuan Xi is really low-key, and he has never mentioned it before..."
"I checked the prices of those cars later, and one was really more expensive than the other. The Mercedes he exposed was the cheapest... But I remember Jingyuan Xi seemed to be the same.
I said these cars are not his, they belong to his brother or the family, I forgot..."
Cody next to him couldn't help but interjected: "I have often heard rumors in the circle that his family situation is very good, but I didn't expect it to be true. Those cars add up to tens of billions, right?"
"The key is that it's not easy to buy. I looked at many of them as limited editions, and some have obviously been modified."
"But speaking of it, some family factors can actually be seen from Chi Jingyuan's temperament, which is really outstanding. However, because he is so polite, people often ignore this matter. Even with such a good background,
To be able to do this, the tutoring and quality are really great.”
The people around seemed really surprised and were digesting the news. Several members of Red Velvet blinked and listened to the gossip stories attentively, while the remaining Cody, who was very talkative and loved gossip, chatted enthusiastically.
"Not to mention looks and body, he is top-notch in popularity, and his family is also very good... He must be among the best in the entire industry. Anyway, I have been in the industry for so long that I have never seen anyone who can compare with him...
Speaking of which, I don’t know any girl who can date such an outstanding kid. Jingyuan Xi has been in the industry for several years. I don’t think I have heard any news about his relationship in the industry. I just know that he is very popular. There are several
Female idols have all asked me to..."
"Why not? Have you forgotten what those unnies mentioned to us last year? Suzy, do you still remember? That unnie said that the look in the eyes of these two people was very obvious in private. She could tell at a glance that they were in private.
There must be something wrong..."
"Jinjia? I really don't remember, Chi Jingyuan and Pei Xiuzhi? The time of "some"..."
While listening carefully to what was happening about Chi Jingyuan, Pei Zhuhyun was talking about some information she had just learned. She thought of the two Cody Ernies mentioning Pei Suzy's name, and she was also murmuring in her heart.
As I thought about it, I couldn't help but feel an inexplicable feeling of dissatisfaction in my heart. I don't know if it was because of the name Bae Suzy or some other reason.
"Damn it, I think I already know it very well..."
…………
"I heard that Riot Games is holding a mid-season invitational tournament this year, but I don't know which team will participate."
"It must be SKT, look at their performance in the spring split."
"The spring split hasn't even ended yet, but I also think it's them... SKT should be the champions as long as they go there."
In the backstage lounge of "M!countdown", the members were each doing their own thing. Chi Jingyuan was half lying on the sofa wearing black-rimmed glasses and playing a game console. Sitting on the same sofa with him, next to him
Byun Baekhyun and Park Chanyeol are discussing a game called "League of Legends".
It seems to be a very popular computer game in the past two years. Chi Jingyuan remembers that the two brothers often talked about this game in the dormitory last year, but he mainly plays console games and loves "Pokémon" very much.
and "Monster Hunter", not very interested in this topic.
"Jingyuan, don't hold the game console and play there every day. I think you've been playing those games for several years and you're still not tired of it? Come and play LOL with us when you have time next time, I promise.
Let me help you improve your score." After chatting for a while, Baekhyun looked at Chi Jingyuan who was silent on the right, sat a little aside and patted his shoulder and said generously.
These two brothers have become more and more interested in this game recently, and are no longer satisfied with playing by themselves. They have begun to develop a fandom within the EXO group. Except for Wu Shixun, who has basically been persuaded,
They started to talk about targeting Chi Jingyuan who already likes to play games. They had mentioned it several times during this time.
Chi Jingyuan raised his head and glanced at Bian Baekhyun who had a sincere smile on his face. He nodded and then lowered his head to look at the game console screen with a perfunctory tone:
"Nai, there may be a chance."
As for what a high score is, Baekhyun Bian already explained it once during the last Amway promotion.
"Hahaha..." Wu Shixun next to him couldn't help laughing. He had seen similar conversations and scenes many times recently.
"Alas..." Baekhyun sighed in disappointment as he felt that his enthusiasm had encountered a wall that would not change.
Park Chanyeol laughed twice and then suddenly remembered and said, "By the way, talking about red velvet today..."
Before he could finish speaking, there was a knock on the door. Jin Junmyeon, who was playing with his cell phone, quickly responded. The door was pushed open, and the people from Red Velvet who were mentioned just a second ago were at the right moment.
walked in.
"Senior, Anihasay..."
As soon as the five people came in, they quickly glanced at each other, then stood in a row and began to salute under the leadership of Pei Zhuxuan.
The five fair-haired and kind-hearted girls were dressed in already changed singing outfits. Although they were of average height, they still looked pretty and eye-catching when they stood there, full of youthful and shining charm.
"Oh oh oh~ Ledbebe!"
At first glance, it was obvious that it was a visit from the returning newcomers and juniors. However, as seniors from the same company, the members of EXO showed extraordinary enthusiasm. It was not known who had taken the lead. Kim Junmyun and the others immediately said "Red Velvet" after seeing it.
They started to cheer, applauding vigorously, and shouting Ledbebe's name excitedly, looking like a fanatical fan who had met his idol.
Byun Baekhyun, who was playing Amway's "League of Legends" just now, stood up from the sofa, walked to the door and twisted a few times with Kim Junmyeon, who had already started to pretend to dance "Ice Cream Cake", watching the surrounding members and
The assistant burst into laughter.
Chi Jingyuan also looked at these two brothers in surprise. Not to mention, although the movements were not standard, they were decent.
No, the MV for this song came out only three days ago. When did they learn it?
Did you learn the dance of your own group so quickly?
Because the fan base is young and easily impulsive, EXO members rarely interact or communicate with the female idols they participate in events with in front of the camera. During the award ceremony, it doesn’t matter how beautiful the person sitting next to them is.
They were all looking intently, as if they didn't see anything at all.
But in fact, many members like to socialize with the opposite sex in private. Some people like Byun Baekhyun are actually very lively and like to be funny. At this time, when facing the junior girl groups in the same company, they seem to be particularly partial and friendly.
enthusiasm.
But this is because the other party is in a girl group and they have known each other well beforehand. In addition, the members also know that Ji Kyung Won and Bae Zhu Hyun have a somewhat different relationship. Otherwise, even if they are in the same company, switching to a boy group would probably be completely different.
A scene.
But speaking of it, this seems to be the first time that Red Velvet and EXO have participated in a singing show at the same time since their debut. It is also the first time that Chi Jingyuan accepted their visit as a senior backstage. Looking at the few acquaintances at the door, I felt quite
interesting.
Seeing XO's seniors giving face like this, Red Velvet and the others became a lot more relaxed. They smiled happily and kept saluting. Bae Zhuhyun smiled and talked to Kim Junmyeon, and at the same time quickly glanced around.
, and immediately locked on Chi Jingyuan, who was lying lazily on the sofa, holding a game console and looking over here.
Her eyes stayed on Chi Jingyuan for two seconds and then she looked away without missing a trace. She smiled and took out an album and handed it to Jin Junmian: "Senior, this is our new album. I hope..."
"Arazo, why are you so polite?" Kim Junmyeon waved his hand and directly interrupted Bae Zhuhyun's standard greeting. He first took the album from Bae Zhuhyun's hand with a smile, and then took an EXO single from the assistant next to him.
The album "E" was also handed over to the other party: "You don't need to tell me, we have already listened to it, it's really great."
"Fighting!"
"Kangsangmita." The five of them smiled and saluted again. However, Red Velvet, who had just returned to record their first stage, had many things to do. After chatting for a few words, they didn't stay much longer and left after a while.
Seeing the door of the lounge being closed again, Chi Jingyuan blinked. He keenly felt that although the five members of Ledbeibei seemed to be talking to Jin Junmian and others, their eyes seemed to have been there all the time.
Look towards yourself.
Except for Pei Zhuxuan, who glanced at it and quickly turned back, the others didn't know what was going on. They glanced at it every once in a while, as if they were looking at precious animals.
After a short text message on the 16th, both EXO and red velvet have been very busy in the past two days, and he and Bae Zhuhyun didn't communicate much. This made Chi Jingyuan feel a little bit confused. He didn't know what was going on.
.
But it must be nothing special. After reminiscing about it, Chi Jingyuan didn't bother to think about it. He changed his position and continued to play his game with his head down.
By the 19th, it was already close to the end of March. Because EXO was on Sunday the 1st, the timing of their return on the last day of the week was quite coincidental, so this week was already their third week of singing.
Except for not winning the first place in the first two days of the first week, starting from "Music Bank" on the 6th until today, excluding "The Show" where no awards will be given if you are not present, EXO has swept all the singing programs.
of a trophy.
Not counting "M! Countdown", which they are still determined to win today, they have already won the first place in 8 music programs. If they win all the places this week, "Call Me Baby" is likely to break their previous success with "Roar"
》The crazy record of seventeen one-digit numbers created.
Nowadays, when the top spot in singing shows is still very valuable, it is really a great achievement to be able to achieve this result many times. The number of top spots alone has completely surpassed other groups.
If SM or EXO were more shameless and participated in "The Show", a program that newcomers and amateurs use to realize their dreams of becoming a star, and competed with them with a completely crushing attitude and then graduated three consecutive times, then
The results look likely to be even more terrifying.
