"None of the familiar girl groups are here today, like AOA, Girlsday, etc."
"What are you doing? Who do you like again?"
"No, I just said it casually, and I didn't just say that..."
Chi Jingyuan raised his head and glanced at Jin Junmyeon, Park Chanyeol and Byun Baekhyun who were chatting next to him, then changed his posture and lowered his head to continue playing his game.
The annual dream concert will be held today, May 23, at the World Cup Stadium. At this time, the nine members of EXO are in the backstage lounge built behind the stadium, waiting for their turn to rehearse.
link.
EXO arrived at the scene relatively late. Before arriving, they went to the company for a short meeting. When they arrived backstage, the rehearsal had already begun. The manager went to greet the organizer, and they were among the staff.
We were led down to the backstage to prepare and wait.
Every year, the Dream Concert invites many groups of popular and popular artists and idol groups. With these groups as the center, plus some newcomers and groups brought in by companies, they form a guest group to perform on stage, and each guest group
The quantity will also be very large, far exceeding the ordinary platter concert.
This time is no exception. In order to cope with the four-hour long performance, this year the organizers invited nearly thirty groups of artists and groups, including the choreographers and performers.
The total number of professional dance companies is hundreds, plus the managers and assistants who follow all the artists.
With so many people, the entire backstage was packed. Except for a few slightly remote places, the not-so-wide corridor connecting the lounge and the front area was full of staff and artists coming and going, even during breaks.
It was the same inside the room, with the assistants walking back and forth and the celebrity idols chatting and waiting among acquaintances, making the environment very noisy.
"Not yet, I might choose a specific brand...what about you?"
Sister Cody glanced at Chi Jingyuan with a meaningful smile and then turned and left.
When we talk about this kind of thing, we always involve him. They are really a bunch of talkative women in Xiba.
"Are you ready for the clothes for Baeksang in two days?"
"Irene's popularity is still high. It was like this when she was a trainee."
He didn't expect to be able to compete with Chi Jingyuan at all. The gap was really big, so he could only silently lament his bad luck, and at the same time comfort himself with the thought that being able to participate was a victory.
There were no problems in the two rehearsals. After everything was settled, the nine people walked off the stage. As they went down the stairs, Chi Jingyuan said casually: "I'm going to use the bathroom."
Another group from the same company, Shinee, has not come yet.
Chi Jingyuan smiled and said hello to Jin Yelin. This girl joined red velvet and was relatively unfamiliar at first. However, after a few contacts and getting familiar with each other, she showed her lively nature. Every time they met, she started to say "Oubao" to him.
Ba' screamed.
After Chi Jingyuan arrived, he first said hello to a few people he knew, and then sat down in his seat. After putting things away, he naturally took out the game console and started to entertain himself. However,
Because several members chatting next to him talked about topics that he was more interested in, he also listened quietly and multi-mindedly at the same time.
"Bah..." As he was playing, there was a sound of a stool being pulled aside. He turned around and found that Pei Zhuxuan, who had finished putting on makeup, was already sitting in the seat next to him.
This time, the Dream Concert was held at the World Cup Arena in Mapo District, Seoul. This venue, originally used for football matches, was very large. Its full capacity of nearly 67,000 people was far larger than the gymnastics venue they used for the concert.
The arena is much larger.
It’s not just Chi Jingyuan, he is the one with the most, other EXO members have also encountered this situation.
But speaking of it, he actually met a few people through this method...
Although he did not raise his head, Chi Jingyuan could clearly feel that they glanced at him, feeling helpless in his heart.
Pei Zhuxuan frowned and looked at the ground instead of looking at the other party. She moved her mouth in the air to directly express her rejection. Her voice was calm and cold and obviously distant. After speaking, she nodded lightly.
Then he grabbed Jin Yelin, who had wide-open eyes next to her, as if she was watching the excitement, and prepared to walk around her and leave.
He smiled and nodded to Jin Yelin, then stopped and looked at the slightly stiff Pei Zhuhyun as they passed each other. They looked at each other when they crossed paths. He smiled at Pei Zhuhyun and winked lightly with his left hand.
Eyes, and without saying much, he and Do Kyung-soo quickly left without stopping.
When it comes to acting career, Do Kyung Soo is already ahead of countless idols at this start... As for Ji Kyung Won, he will not participate in this discussion.
After seeing Chi Jingyuan, Pei Zhuxuan was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect to meet him in this place by chance. She also knew that the scene just now was seen by the other party, and she felt a little awkward in her heart, and at the same time she felt a little bit panicked.
.
"Ani, I just think that the members of this new girl group are pretty good-looking. For example, Ruirin and Miju are pretty good-looking. They are very eye-catching among the recently debuted girl groups... What do you think?
?”
He doesn't have any members who have a deep impression on this girl group...
"Irene xi, maybe, can we exchange contact information?" I saw a male idol who had already put on makeup and looked at the girl in front of him with a smile and enthusiasm.
Shaped bangs.
However, he is determined to win the other two nominated awards.
Chi Jingyuan blinked when he saw the name. He was actually a member of the girl group CLC. This girl group is also here today.
"Axi... Jingyuan is right next to you, don't talk nonsense."
But speaking of the Popularity Award, he remembered that there was a very familiar name in the nomination list of the Popular Actress Award. If there were no accidents, he would definitely be there that day...
Thinking of the scene just now, Do Kyung-soo couldn't help but smacked her lips and sighed, and then looked at Chi Jingyuan next to her with some fun: "Speaking of how you and her got together? Why do I remember that you just met Irene at that time?
I had a very average impression of her at that time, and they seemed to say that she was ordinary-looking and not tall..."
"Then I'll go too." Do Kyungsoo also echoed. After walking backstage, the two of them left the group and walked towards the restroom. It might be that it was approaching lunch time, and the flow of people along the way was less than before.
Some.
EXO was waiting in the lounge. Because they had just been notified by the venue management, it would be their turn to rehearse soon, so no one came to chat, so they just sat in their seats and chatted.
After chatting for a few more minutes, a staff finally came over to notify us. Several people who had been waiting for a long time stood up and followed the staff out.
"...By the way, brother, what do you want to say tonight?"
Although many fans will call him this, to be honest, very few friends in the social circle around Chi Jingyuan call him Oppa, and he is the youngest one.
These SM artists all brought their cody with them, and started styling after lunch. After Chi Jingyuan finished, he was too lazy to move anymore. He just sat on the stool in the lounge, supporting the table in front of him with both hands.
While playing game consoles, several other members went out to chat with familiar idols.
The most interesting thing is that the female idol he asked for her contact information happened to be Bae Joo Hyun.
"Do you know any of the members of the new girl group Lovelyz?"
He has seen this scene so many times that he is no longer surprised. It is a very common way for Cody to convey good feelings and notes. He does not know how many times he has experienced it since his debut.
The one in front of me probably belongs to the latter.
Although Do Kyung-soo's voice was not loud and the noise next to him was not quiet, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but glance back and found that they had not followed before turning back, and then waved his hand with a smile, as if for the first time
Once I heard this statement, I looked at the other person curiously: "Ah? Really? When did it happen?"
Originally, he could still hope to win a trophy or something, at least the popularity award was quite promising. After all, EXO's popularity and popularity are here, and the competition is very strong with the support of a large number of fans' votes.
"Chanyeol should know their contact information. Last time I saw him chatting with a few people from Lovelyz backstage at a music festival. When Chanye comes back from the bathroom, you can ask him if he has it... But bro, you
Just ask yourself, you won't worry about being rejected."
Chi Jingyuan could tell at a glance that it was very common to ask for contact information, just like the note he got through Cody just now. The more tactful one is to ask someone to pass the note, and the more confident and direct person can find an opportunity to ask for it in person.
It wasn't time to enter the venue yet, but Chi Jingyuan stood on the stage during the rehearsal and looked towards the auditorium in front of him. The extremely wide venue was empty at the moment, and the sound accompaniment was going back and forth, making people couldn't help but feel...
A feeling of insignificance.
Just when Chi Jingyuan cleared a level, stretched out and felt a little bored, and was about to ask when the rehearsal would start, a familiar Cody suddenly stopped when he passed by and looked at him.
Then he smiled and handed over a bottle of drink in his hand.
"..."
After a brief silence, the two walked towards the lounge and started talking about other topics.
"I've heard you say this countless times. I remember you were saying it since you debuted..."
Although he was also nominated for 'Best Actor', Chi Jingyuan didn't expect much to win the award. After all, he was too young and was an idol. He performed extremely well in "Misborn" last year but did not have the right to win.
Several other candidates have an overwhelming advantage, and SM has absolutely no weight in the film and television industry, and can't even find a way to operate.
In fact, it is not a consolation. For any idol, being nominated in Baeksang is already a very good achievement. Fans can brag about it casually, and no one can envy it.
Wu Shixun, who was sitting next to him, saw it and asked in a low voice without being surprised. Although his tone was questioning, he was very sure.
Chi Jingyuan hesitated for a moment, but after seeing the other party's movements and expressions, he reacted immediately, understood in his heart, smiled at the cody sister, and then reached out to take it.
He can be so direct just two months after his debut. If he agrees to exchange contact information, the success rate of the relationship should be 100%. In this way, he has directly started a relationship two months after his debut. Is it possible that this girl is also a royal like himself?
?
"Excuse me."
Just then, the sound of footsteps attracted the attention of several people. She looked back and saw Chi Jingyuan and Do Kyungsoo walking towards her.
"Does Irene look good?"
"Axi..."
…
The white face on his face must be a lot of powder, and the slightly darker eyeliner and colored contact lenses are very eye-catching on stage, but in private it seems a bit exaggerated.
But after all, you need to pay attention to the impact of people coming and going around you. They sit closer and their voices are lowered a lot.
"Forehead."
He is worthy of being the last senior to appear today.
"Jingyuan Oppa!"
Although he was a little surprised, Chi Jingyuan still put the note away. Even though he had no intention of contacting him, he would throw it away after returning.
The goodwill between idols comes so suddenly and directly. After all, handsome men and beautiful women get along with each other every day, and it is easy to get acquainted with each other.
However, if he coincides with Chi Jingyuan in this way, his probability of winning the prize will be infinitely reduced.
"Isn't that the case last time, forget it, just pretend I didn't say it... By the way, Tara is also here today. I saw Zhiyan just now. They have been really different in the past two years... but Zhiyan really feels that she is getting more and more beautiful.
Already."
Seeing the exquisite face so close, Chi Jingyuan, who seemed to understand what the other party meant, also chuckled. The two looked at each other and raised the corners of their mouths.
"Hahaha."
Just after taking two steps, there was a sudden conversation in front of him. One of the familiar voices made Chi Jingyuan raise his head and look over.
"Are you looking for a date again?"
And today, under the company's arrangement, they don't have to turn on the mic, they just follow the lip sync...
The two of them walked out of the bathroom and talked about the "Baeksang Arts Awards" that will be held this year. This year, two members of EXO will be present at the nomination event, which can be said to make all fans excited.
How proud of it.
"XO!"
Although it is a great joy to be able to participate in the most prestigious award ceremony in the TV drama industry, it also represents a good start for his transformation into an actor last year. It is just a pity that Kyung-soo won the "Best Newcomer" and "Best Newcomer" awards.
The two nominations for "Popular Actor" all overlap with Chi Jingyuan's.
Today they have a total of two songs to perform, "Call Me Baby" and "Roar". The rehearsal is relatively simple. Both songs are songs that have been performed countless times and are already familiar to them. This time
There are no lifts or other equipment in the stage setup. I just need to communicate with the PD and VJ about the stage process and camera movement, and then rehearse the positioning.
Unless he tries it out through some connections at home, the possibility of the organizer awarding him the 'Best Actor' is very slim. After all, idol actors are still a bit dishonest in the eyes of some people.
It's just completely opposite to the confidence and enthusiasm of this male idol. At this time, Bae Zhuhyun, who was suddenly stopped and asked for his contact information, frowned, looked at the other person with alienated and unfamiliar eyes, then lowered his head and moved away.
He looked at her, and then reflexively pulled Jin Yelin next to him to take a step back. His expression and movements were as if he smelled something bad and pungent.
After a while, Park Chanyeol and others who went to the toilet came back. They were chatting boringly here, and Chi Jingyuan, who was playing games, would also chime in from time to time when he got interested.
I have some impressions of this male idol Ji Jingyuan. He seems to be a member of the boy band GHG. I remember that he debuted in 2013. During that time, under the ruthless sweep of "Roar", dozens of people who debuted at the same time
Among the boy bands, one of the very few can survive.
However, because there were so many people in the lounge, and there were many eyes and ears everywhere, she didn't say anything after sitting next to her. She just pursed her lips and blinked at Chi Jingyuan when she looked over.
In terms of popularity, it can only be said to be barely surviving. At least Chi Jingyuan only knows about this group, but can't name this person...
Of course, the organizers must have arranged different locations and spaces for different groups based on their seniority and popularity. Their SM side is obviously a bit more spacious.
Waving his hand to drive away Wu Shixun who was curious and wanted to watch it together, Chi Jingyuan opened the note and took a look. In addition to the contact information, there were indeed two sentences expressing good feelings and his name, followed by a cute handwritten emoticon.
, it can be seen that he is really serious.
SM's three artist lounges are all arranged together, but although they are connected together, they all have their own seats, and Bae Zhuhyun obviously came here specifically to sit here.
This kind of super-large venue and a venue with tens of thousands of people seem to be two completely different concepts. You can imagine how great the scene will be when the audience is full, and 50, 60,000 people will cheer for each other with the same name.
Exaggerated and shocking.
"...and Kyungsoo Oppa."
But he remembers that this girl group is not a new girl group that just debuted in March this year?
"..." After pouting and not answering, Chi Jingyuan touched it and found a note stuck at the bottom of the drink bottle. He knew without looking at it that it had the other party's contact information written on it, and maybe some other things.
if.
This time, the organizer has set up several large lounges backstage. Each lounge is shared by many groups of artists, and some backup dancers and cody are also mixed in. There are nearly ten groups of artists and artists crammed into one room.
Following their staff, there are people going in and out almost all the time.
After seeing Chi Jingyuan and the two of them, Jin Yilin grinned and waved to them quickly, looking very happy. The expression of the male idol next to her changed, and she quickly saluted and moved out of the way.
aside.
But Do Kyung-soo seemed to have suddenly remembered something, and sighed and couldn't help complaining: "I didn't expect that we can participate in Baeksang this time... Oh, it's really bad luck, all of my nominations were..."
It overlaps with you."
Chi Jingyuan didn't say anything on this topic and could only shrug innocently.
"What, do you have an idea?"
"How is it possible that I will be rejected?"
SM has three groups of performance guests present today. In addition to EXO, there are also red velvet and shinee. In addition, Leeteuk, who serves as MC, has been assigned to the resting area of these groups. However, Chi Jingyuan
When they arrived at the scene, Red Velvet had already been called away by the staff. He might have gone to rehearsals and had not returned yet.
"I've already tried it. The company prepared it."
Seeing Chi Jingyuan playing with his own, Pei Zhuxuan didn't bother him, took out the mobile phone in his hand and started browsing naturally.
The two of them were not close but not far apart. They just sat there without saying anything, but their movements were very synchronized and coordinated. They were both lying on the table doing their own things.
The entire lounge was lively and noisy. From time to time, a staff would shout, and chatter and laughter could be seen everywhere. Various complex sounds intertwined together to make it very noisy.
Just in one corner, Chi Jingyuan and Pei Zhuxuan had an unusually strange feeling of tranquility. It was as if when the noise around them flew here, they would stand on tiptoes and move as gently as they could, and quietly appreciate the surroundings together.
A kind of tacit warmth.
It’s a bit stuck, I’ll sort out the rest and speed it up until June.
Thanks to my brother for the reward and monthly ticket, I show my sincerity!
