Chapter 400 Kasuga

Chapter 400 Spring

Hirai Momo walked out of the bathroom, lowered her head and gently shook her bangs that were slightly soaked when she washed her hands. When she walked outside and raised her head, she saw Nai Minami waiting for her standing by the wall without leaning against it.

On the wall, looking at the end of the corridor with pursed lips and eyes.

She took the opportunity to look over there, but there was no one there.

"What's wrong?"

Hirai Momo felt a little strange and took the initiative to say something out loud.

The sudden sound did not scare Najing Nan. She seemed to have felt that her friend had come out just now. She withdrew her gaze, got her hands out of her sleeves, then gently pushed the sleeves to her wrists, and took one last look at Chi Jing.

Yuan turned his head in the direction of leaving, shook his head and smoothed his hair and grinned, revealing a trace of pink teeth:

"nothing."



In the evening, I chose a relatively high-end Korean restaurant near the Olympic Park. I heard Park Jinying introduce that the vegetables used in this restaurant are all organic farmers. According to him, they have more nutritional value and taste better than ordinary vegetables. He has been here before.

After a few times, I felt that it was very good, and I also took advantage of the opportunity to do some organic farming with Chi Jingyuan.

Chi Jingyuan agreed with a smile on his face, took a chopstick and tasted it, and nodded to express that it tasted good, but he felt helpless in his heart and didn't take it to heart at all.

Afterwards, they talked about business while eating. It was not much different from what Chi Jingyuan had expected. Park Jinying came to him about the talent show "Sixteen", but what surprised him was that he was not an ordinary guest, but

He was invited to serve as a judge for one of the episodes to comment on the trainees' performances, and at the same time, they were grouped and eliminated based on their choices.

It’s just that last month, EXO’s name was often posted on the hot searches in many entertainment sections of Peninsula. Some music sources and Kpop forums were also full of posts discussing them. Because of the popularity of “Call Me Baby”, their former vitality was revived.

Ai Li has become ubiquitous and is annoying everyone in various places by coddling her idol, leaving Jin Zhicheng unable to do anything about it.

As the progress is read, the MV for "Spring Day" officially begins to play.

"I miss you."

Needless to say, this intro is really nice.

But there was no sadness in his expression, or in other words, truth and falsehood were no longer important, because he seemed to really see the friend he had missed for a long time, and the youth that had been left behind by time.

"We have indeed changed, but so has everyone."

But a group's biggest source of money, selling peripherals and touring, is most in need of the support of die-hard fans who can afford to spend money. This has also led to the dilemma that the MissA group has never been able to make money no matter how good their sound source is since their debut.

The rhyming but powerful rap is constantly displayed in the dynamic accompaniment. During the rap stage, the voices of Chi Jingyuan and Park Chanyeol appear one after another. There seems to be a hint of complaint in the emotional voice, and the fast and sharp rap

Coupled with the increasingly darker light in the MV, the increasingly confusing atmosphere makes people sink deeper and deeper into it.

Specifically, it refers to reaching the first place in the real-time charts, daily charts, and even weekly charts of major mainstream music websites including Melon, Genie, Bugs, etc.

The previously empty and deserted carriage now seemed particularly warm and peaceful, making people reluctant to leave.

"It's okay anyway, just take a look."

"suicide?"

"Dingyan and Yuan? We know each other, maybe. She, Ernie, and Chi Jingyuan were friends before, so she usually likes XO."

"After I said it, I missed you even more."

"I hope winter will end soon."

And this seems to reflect the last lyrics:

"Wait until the twelfth lunar month of winter is over."

Lin Nalian touched her chin and analyzed it. She thought for a few seconds that it was not important anyway and gave up. She was too lazy to delve into it. At this moment, the scene of Chi Jingyuan taking off his mask and looking at each other seemed to appear in front of her eyes. She raised her head and

His pupils rolled up, he smacked his lips and said in a reverie: "Hey Yigu, Top idol is really different. I have seen Chi Jingyuan several times, and every time I am so handsome...

Jeongyeon would be envious if she knew."

Two days ago, he also saw the controversy over whether the title song of EXO's comeback is a ballad. Although he did not participate, he actually likes ballads.

Even though no one spoke, the moment they appeared, the color of the entire picture seemed to become brighter, and the coldness of the snowy sky seemed to be inadvertently dispelled.

But it doesn't make any difference to Chi Jingyuan, because any variety show that invites him to participate is based on his popularity and popularity. It is the norm in the industry to praise the high and suppress the low, and Park Jinying can be considered sincere.

It seems that there are many hit songs, the music source is also very good, and the popularity is not low. At the same time, the group also has Bae Suzy, who is extremely popular and popular among the people. However, when the group comes back, no one is willing to pay for it. This phenomenon really makes people feel

It’s quite strange, I guess JYP themselves can’t figure it out.

It wasn't until the last moment that he saw his friends appearing beside him. They looked at each other, mustered up their courage, and ran forward.

Just be with you, just be with you, and walk together to the moment when spring comes.

Park Zhenying's attitude is more enthusiastic, and the goal has been achieved. He knows that Chi Jingyuan's character will definitely not just boast about it, and it is almost certain that he can say this.

The variety show "Sixteen" has officially started recording. During the filming a few days ago, the groups have been divided. The major group, which is the seven people in the professional group, and the minor, which is the nine people in the poor student group, have been assigned to their respective dormitories.

In the past few days, I have devoted myself wholeheartedly to my debut. In addition to shooting, I also practiced. Yesterday, I met Chi Jingyuan in the showcase venue. It was the most interesting thing that Lin Nayeon and the others have encountered recently.

.

While caring about them, other fans and a large number of passers-by also turned their attention away from MissA and shifted their attention to EXO, who will make a comeback with their second single album "X" early this morning.

"Probably not. PD Nim Park Jin Young obviously went to wait for him. It feels like he wants to talk about something."

As if thinking of that stunned face, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but flash a narrow smile in his eyes.

After the long series of rap stages ended, the last chorus soon entered, and at this time, the image and tone of the MV began to change unconsciously.

This made him hate EXO even more, as he didn't have a good impression of boy bands. However, despite hating them, he couldn't help but start paying attention to them occasionally.

It’s just that from the bottom of his heart, he doesn’t like boy bands singing ballads. Even though EXO has released many ballads before, nothing has changed. This prejudice is deeply rooted and difficult to change.

Among the four people who went to record yesterday, she was the fourth person whom Chi Jingyuan had no impression of.

"Remember, he also said you were a facade."

Not only the music score is very high, but the number of listens and related comments are also very good. At a glance, there are all kinds of good reviews. It has only been less than two days since the song was released, and I feel that the momentum is about to pick up.

Just the next second, Chi Jingyuan, who was sitting by the window in the train and staring, suddenly woke up, and a super close-up of his angry face appeared. At this time, everything returned to reality. It turned out that everything was just his memories and reveries.

, those beautiful innocence seem to not exist, but he is still only one person.

The roaring train was advancing on the endless railway track, but the only passenger on it, the man sitting by the window, remained silent and just looked outside quietly.

The camera also climbed up bit by bit, and after zooming up, it changed to an aerial perspective. The figures of the nine boys in the picture also became smaller and smaller. I just watched them move step by step after the robbery.

Walking towards the warm spring day, the warmth in front of me looks so beautiful when it bathes my body. All the sadness, loneliness, sadness and confusion before are suddenly understood at this moment, and the complex emotions that have been brewing in my heart are also unknown.

In my sleep, it is sublimated and brilliant.

Whether EXO will continue the popularity of "Call Me Baby" or even increase it, or whether it will just flop at the speed of light because of its arrogance and cerebral palsy and choose lyricism as the main focus, it all depends on this time.

"You know it all."

As the eldest sister and the most valued trainee in the company, Lin Nayeon was naturally the center of attention. She explained with a cheerful expression: "When Yuan and Suzy were working together, they often came to the company and we met several times.

, I feel that my personality is actually quite good, and she will cheer for us when she sees us. Do you still remember Minying? We went to 6MIX backstage to see them at that time."

Next to him, Park Chi-won also asked, "Jung-yeon Unnie? Does she know Yuan?"

As Chi Jingyuan, who has thin and flowing black hair with some texture and wears a striped turtleneck sweater, sits by the train window and silently looks out the window, the lyrics are also slowly introduced by him.

Singing it slowly.

There is obviously some exciting music and singing, but why does it make people feel sad when it stops listening to it?

"Winter is about to go away."

It turns out that the train of youth never stops, let alone waits for anyone, but the experience does not seem to make people too sad.

I don’t know what Zhou Ziyu’s expression was when she saw herself on the stage.

It's sales.

The endless upward stairs seem to never end, and the same seems to be true in life. Many people slowly go away without knowing it, and can no longer be seen.

After waiting for a few seconds, the page was finally refreshed. Jin Zhicheng's eyes stayed for two seconds at the part where the lyrics and composition were displayed in the song introduction. He visibly paused and blinked when he saw that the names above and below were all the same person.

Then I clicked on play and watched it with a critical eye.

"I hate this moment and the passage of time."

Chi Jingyuan has been in the industry for three years and has participated in many variety shows. However, because of his seniority and age, this is the first time he has been invited to play a more professional role as a judge.

When they released their full album on the 30th, the title song debuted at number one on the charts, breaking the chart six times in a row. After a day of deliberation, on the last day of March, on the afternoon of the 31st, their title song "only

you》achieved 'All kill'.

No company would hand over the right to choose the debut of its own artists to outsiders.

After eating, Chi Kyung-won declined Park Jin-young's enthusiasm to take him back. He got into the nanny car driven by Park Jae-hyun who had been waiting nearby and rushed back to the company to join the members for the final preparations before the return of "X".

When singing "Hope the winter will end", the two people in the MV passed by each other, as if it was a hint and a playful arrangement of fate.

"Missing is like snow, how long will it take to fall?"

After this successful return of "E", EXO's popularity is now here. Their appearance on almost any variety show can play a certain role in promoting the ratings, so they have become the favorites of many TV station program crews nowadays.

Invitations keep coming. Recently, people like Park Chanyeol, Do Kyungsoo, and Byun Baekhyun have also received personal variety show schedules.

"I miss you."

However, the camera quickly switched, and the accompaniment that gradually sounded, from distant to deep and passionate, with louder and louder sounds, made him let go of the absurd feeling in his heart and start to feel it carefully.

"Nowadays, even meeting one person has become a luxury."

"How can I meet you?"

At this moment, no matter whether it is sad or beautiful, you no longer need to care.

"wu~wooo~~"

The changing images and less brilliant colors were reflected in Jin Zhicheng's pupils, brewing some complex emotions.

He got off work early today and has been surfing the Internet after eating. He just saw on the Internet that another idiot fan of EXO was desperately promoting that the MV for the second single album "X" had been released at midnight.

And the sound source, the MV of the title song "Spring Day" was shot superbly, it was particularly touching and disgusting with rainbow farts.

'Perfect All Kill' is referred to as 'PAK' by fans in the music industry. It is a higher level than the ordinary 'All Kill' and is one of the most desirable achievements in music performance in the Kpop circle.

"Looking at your photos, it's hard to understand the pain of missing each other."

The young man at the beginning is waiting alone at the deserted Xuexiang station. What is he waiting for?

"wu~wooo~~

The shocking and touching group harmony sounded at this moment, and every sound seemed to hit the heart that had already started to tremble, bringing about a deep and lasting resonance.

"I miss you."

But to be honest, he is really interested in being a judge, especially Zhou Ziyu's judge.

It’s been the last two days, and although I’ve already practiced almost as well, it will definitely be effective to hold the Buddha’s feet temporarily.

The train of youth and growth moves forward in the endless ice and snow. It seems endless and frustrating, but as long as you believe and persist, the next stop may be the sunshine of spring!

"The cherry blossoms are about to bloom."

Her time in the company was still too short, and her status as a foreign trainee and her lack of proficiency in the language did not make it easy for her to get along harmoniously with the local and senior trainees, and there were also twists and turns or problems between girls.

Conflicts are not non-existent, so up to now, Mingjing Nan's circle of friends is still very small, limited to a few people in Neon Line. It can be said that he is not very familiar with other female trainees, and he rarely communicates with her.

Not only that, "Only You" also achieved the amazing achievement of "Perfect All Kill" on all music charts that night.

Kim Dahyun on the side was also sitting there quietly and listening, but she also seemed quite interested.

"I remember that their title song this time seems to be a ballad, so I'm looking forward to it."

Along with the singing and lyrics that were somewhat rhythmic but obviously contained feelings of loss and sadness, as well as various explicit instructions and camera shots in the MV, Jin Zhicheng quickly understood the things and emotions that the MV of this song was trying to express.

On the other hand, I have to say that MissA's comeback this time is really quite impressive, and the sound source performance is completely unexpectedly good. It can't even just be said to be good, it should be considered a hit.

When the train stopped, the nine members of EXO quickly rushed out of the train. The specially shot footage at that time was perfectly presented in front of everyone after editing and rendering.

Is he worried that the person he is waiting for has also arrived on the Snowpiercer train? Will he, who is lonely, have the final reunion?

Nobody knows.

Because old fans who have been in the industry for a long time all know the problems of the MissA group. They won the song of the year award in their debut year, and their music performance has been very good every time they come back in these years. However, they are in a situation

But they are still a little embarrassed, and the reason why they can't go any further and can't make much money is because they have huge shortcomings.

Is this missing a friend, or is it telling us about that period of youth?

"Hold your hand and walk to the other side of the earth."

"I miss you."

"Morning will come."

It's a pity that Saka Minatozaki was assigned to the "poor student group" after not living up to her expectations, and Momo Hirai, who was assigned to the same group as her, was taking a shower at the moment, and Minami's personality dictated this when her two friends were not around.

Next time, I usually just stay in a daze or listen silently, and basically I won’t take the initiative to speak.

The only difference is that the program "Sixteen" is not organized by a TV station, but is jointly produced by JYP and mnet.

"I don't know, I should watch the MissA seniors' showcase." Sun Chaeyoung peeled an orange she took out from the refrigerator in her hand, put one into her mouth, and blinked her big eyes as she guessed.

Even this sales volume is less than a year after their debut. They just got out of the dilemma of being "disbanded" by Tiantian's curse with their comeback. Red Velvet, who finally got out of the circle slightly, has eight times the sales.

I can't help but worry in my heart, this time the Oppas are still focusing on lyricism, what if they can't beat them?

However, there are also some old fans who say they don't care, and while comforting the new fans, they are eagerly waiting for the release of the sound source and MV of EXO's single album "X" tonight.

…………

It was just the first shot at the beginning that shocked him. He saw Byun Baekhyun kneeling on the snow-covered railway track, his head on the snow and motionless. It made people worry that a speeding car would pass by in the next second.

The train crushed him. Jin Zhicheng was deeply shocked when he saw it and thought that the other person meant to commit suicide by lying on the track.

Under the harmonious atmosphere, Park Jin Young also introduced the program "Sixteen" and the approximate shooting time. According to him, it should not be until late April that the solo PK battle that Ji Kyung Won participated in was filmed. From now on

It's quite far.

Mingnan sat on the edge of the sofa and hugged a pillow. She was in a daze and turned her attention after hearing Chi Jingyuan's name. However, her expression and movements did not change, and she still sat quietly.

Na looked down at the lines on the pillow and said nothing.



Ji Jingyuan also understood Park Jinying's intention and purpose of inviting him. It was because EXO and himself were relatively popular, and he probably wanted to use his popularity and discussion to increase the ratings.

After passing through a long night and heavy snow, the warm and soft sunshine finally came. In the endless wilderness, nine people walked slowly in it, walking step by step towards the direction of the sun in front of them.

"Or have I changed?"

As an ordinary office worker, 26-year-old Jin Zhicheng usually has no interest in boy bands. Even if he becomes enthusiastic, he will only briefly chase some of the more popular girl groups.

What Park Jin Young said was exaggerated, and he also said nonsense like, 'It can determine whether they have a chance to debut, and your opinion has very important reference value.' Chi Jingyuan, on the other hand, did not take it seriously at all.

The chorus uses continuously repeated lyrics to continuously aggravate the longing and low mood. Even though the accompaniment with the participation of keyboard and bass makes the tone of the melody a bit high and surging, it does not affect the overall sad feeling.

The atmosphere, on the contrary, increases the feeling of this part in the jumping pictures.

Jin Zhicheng opened the webpage and saw the MV video of "spring day" that had been uploaded on SM's official account. He clicked twice but there was no response. The webpage suddenly became lagging, which made him frown.

"Hey, what did you think Chi Jingyuan came to do yesterday?"

"Really? Hey, hehehe..." Lin Nalian couldn't help but be happy when she mentioned this, grinning with a pair of rabbit teeth that were very conspicuous.

It should be considered good...

As the main song unfolds, various pictures and shots are constantly switched, and EXO members appear in sight one by one.

The boy put on his birthday hat and sat forward on the train that represented youth and adulthood. The beautiful scene of a birthday celebration when friends gathered seemed to appear in his eyes. However, the wrinkled brows proved that he was just imagining it, full of confusion and helplessness.

Because when I stumble, when I look back, you are always there.

"Time is too ruthless and hates us."

In the picture, Chi Jingyuan on the train opened his eyes again, and his eyes slowly swept forward. As the camera zoomed out, the other eight members of EXO appeared in the camera one by one. They were wearing various colors of clothes, some

They were silent, some were taking a nap with their eyes closed, and some were looking out the window with the curtains drawn.

This is quite interesting.

Because of the inertia of attention brought about by the success of "E", coupled with the "lyrical title song" that has been discussed a lot in major music forums these days, as well as the head-to-head collision with the powerful MissA and other gimmicks, passers-by

The expectations and attention for "X" have reached a peak.

The young man named Chi Jingyuan constantly crosses different places and time and space in the camera. The highly romantic camera switching looks a bit beautiful, but inside it is somewhat sad, showing that he can no longer tell whether he is living in another.

The truth is still in the falsehood.

"It's you who has changed."

"Oh, but I prefer dance music."

The achievement of 'PAK' is really not simple. EXO has never achieved this achievement since their debut, and MissA is also the first idol group to complete 'PAK' since 2014.

"You are my best friend."

With such polarized results, it is somewhat difficult to define whether MissA's comeback performance this time is good or bad.

After thinking about it, Chi Jingyuan did not agree on the spot, but said that he still respected the company's arrangement and asked JYP to contact SM. He did not let the company communicate about performance fees and filming time, but he hinted that he

You can try talking to your agent.

"Friend."

It's the same this time. Under the cover of the explosive sound source data of "Only You", the sales volume of the album sold so far is less than 6,000. This data is even among girl groups that don't pay too much attention to sales.

It seems too shabby, not to mention being compared with the big-selling Girls' Generation, even ordinary first- and second-tier girl groups such as Apink, sistar, and girlsday can't compare, and they are still far behind.

"How long do I have to wait, how many nights do I have to spend."

It's really just free prostitutes and passers-by who listen to the music, and there are really too few die-hard fans who are willing to pay real money.

"How can I meet you?"

"Snowflakes are falling and going away little by little."

This is nothing, it is a normal business cooperation, and it is no different from the various variety show invitations sent to SM Company about EXO and myself every day.

The first two are easy to say, but not everyone can get the number one spot on the weekly chart, but it is even more difficult to get the three at the same time. Every song that achieves this represents extremely high popularity and listening.

After Jin Zhicheng saw it, he naturally sneered a few times with disdain, but at the moment he happened to be a little bored and had nothing to do, so he simply clicked in to take a look.

"By the way, isn't XO coming back again? The music source and MV will be released at midnight. Do you want to watch it?"

"Who, Chi Jingyuan? Yuan from EXO? Did you meet him during the recording yesterday?" Song Minying, who was sitting next to her while eating an orange, became interested when she heard it, and looked at Lin Nayuan in surprise.

"Will spring come again?"

In the dormitory of the 'major group', several trainees who had just gotten together after the filming were sitting on the sofa in the living room chatting about each other. As they were talking, Lin Nalian suddenly thought

Recalling yesterday's chance encounter, his eyes flashed and he became interested, and he spoke quickly to Sun Chaeyoung next to him.

Fans of EXO, who completely coincided with their comeback and even performed on the same day as their first stage, were a little worried at this time, especially the newbies who saw that the annoying woman Bae Suzy was in the group.

, EXO’s biggest competitor for this time’s “X”, MissA’s music performance is so great that I can’t help but feel anxious.

"Wait until spring comes."

"Wait until the flowers bloom."

"Wait for me right there."

"Wait for me there."
