Before Chi Jingyuan got out of the car, he felt the restless atmosphere coming from the front, and the enthusiastic shouts of fans had already reached his eardrums.
After coming down, he waved to the fans squatting on both sides with a smile, then followed the members with his bag on his back and prepared to enter the airport. At the same time, the flash of the camera next to him began to flash non-stop, taking a picture of his entire body.
Bright and bright.
I still underestimated the number of people... Chi Jingyuan was so stunned that he couldn't hold on any longer and couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
Chi Jingyuan rarely prepares any airport fashion... because he thinks he looks good in anything he wears... Today he is wearing a relatively relaxed white shirt with GUCCI jeans. His whole person looks sunny and refreshing, which he has not seen for a long time.
His fans kept shouting excitedly.
The fans were very excited and satisfied to see him return to the team, but the reporters obviously would not stop there. After taking the photos, they gathered around and started asking questions:
"Jingyuan Xi, can you tell us why you were absent from the event some time ago?"
"Do you have any response to some speculation on the Internet?"
"What do you think of the heroine of "Goblin"?"
"..."
Even though there were multiple security guards and assistants hired by SM Company forming a human wall to block the surrounding area, various recorders and microphones still found their way through the cracks and cleverly passed through. The scene became a bit chaotic for a while.
Chi Jingyuan used his hands to gently and continuously ward off the microphone and recorder that were about to poke him. With a business smile on his face, he did not respond to any questions.
It's hard to answer questions like asking him where he went before. The brand requested confidentiality so he can't say it now, and he can't make it up casually. If he made it up casually, it would be counterproductive if it turns out he was deceiving.
It's better not to say anything and keep it mysterious, and the popularity will be even higher... Anyway, it will be made public in September, and fans will know by then.
Although there were many people around, EXO's formation was not chaotic. Chi Jingyuan followed closely, moving step by step. After walking a short distance for several minutes, he finally entered the interior of the airport. The order around him suddenly changed.
It got a lot better, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
But no one complained. Everyone in EXO is used to it... The more popular artists are, the more popular they are in Kpop iconic occasions such as airport fashion. Being surrounded by people and unable to walk is better than not wearing a disguise.
It's much better to come here and no one recognizes you.
Seeing EXO walking into the waiting room, although they didn't get any good news from Chi Jingyuan, these reporters didn't feel disappointed. The mere presence of EXO was already good news. Chi Jingyuan returned and participated in the Tokyo concert
The news will definitely attract a lot of attention...
As the plane took off into the blue sky, today's EXO airport photos were soon uploaded to the Internet by various Kpop media. What is a bit surprising is that in addition to Ji Kyung-won's rejoining the group, the most discussed one was Ji's reappearance today.
Jingyuan's outfit at the airport, from when he was getting out of the car in the nanny car, to smiling and waving to his fans, to lowering his head and following the members in front, almost every frame had extremely high-definition photos posted.
Feast the eyes of many fans.
At least some people just saved a few particularly good photos.
Soon some relevant discussions moved from 'What did Yuan do when he left the team' to 'Yuan's visual miracle', then started to 'Selection of boy group's looks', and then moved to 'Boy group's looks are back'.
Topics like "I don't deserve to debut as an idol".
The building became more and more crooked, and soon fans of each group joined in and began to cheer and stamp on each other, making it a lively mess.
………………
This trip to Tokyo lasts for three days. There will be two concerts starting tomorrow and lasting for two days, and today I have to go to rehearsals and attend a press conference.
After landing, we went to the hotel we had booked to rest and put away our belongings. By chance, we met a group of Girls' Generation people who had just returned from outside.
SM directly reserved two floors of the hotel for all the artists to stay. It is easy to meet them all living together. Chi Kyung-won, Kim Taeyeon, and Yoona sunbaenim chatted for a while, and then walked around again.
I didn't see any familiar faces, so I casually asked my manager and found out that Red Velvet hadn't arrived yet. They had plans today, and the entire group would fly from Seoul to Tokyo tomorrow.
Maybe it's because Neon's popularity is relatively average and they don't have to attend the press conference... Well, let's keep working hard.
After the press conference, everyone returned to the hotel. Many people took a short rest and then dispersed to start their own activities.
Although the managers of the respective groups have told them not to run around, to be honest, some of the restrictions and regulations of many companies can scare red velvet and the newly debuted NCT, and they have no control over veteran groups like SJ and Girls' Generation.
.
In fact, there are not many restrictions on EXO... But in comparison, except for a few individuals, most of the members of EXO are relatively responsible to some extent. Although they may have started to have fun, but
At least it won't be on legal news.
Although they had their own plans for the evening, EXO and the others decided to have a meal together after they met back at the hotel.
Park Chanyeol found the restaurant. It is a high-end local restaurant. I heard that the reviews are very good and the chef is very famous online.
...They don't have many activities in Neon, and Chi Jingyuan doesn't know how this brother is so familiar with this place.
A group of people were sitting in the box eating and chatting. Chi Jingyuan took a bunch of freshly roasted roasted birds and tasted them.
All I can say is...it's okay, not as good as the reviews say.
The decoration is quite good, and the overall design with a sense of age reflects the local characteristics... He thinks that most of the good reviews may come from here.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Why do you feel that Tokyo is so lively this time? There are people everywhere at night... Aren't they hot? I'm sweating after standing outside for a while."
While Wu Shixun was chewing the chicken, his mouth was so hot that he kept breathing, and at the same time he was facing
Even though the air conditioner in the private room was turned on quite well, everyone, including him, was still sweating.
When Chi Jingyuan came to Tokyo this time, the biggest feeling he felt was the heat. The temperature was really high these days.
"Because it's summer now. It's the Summer Festival here. Didn't you see a lot of people in yukata on the streets when you came just now?"
Jin Jongdae didn’t know why but he seemed to know him very well. While eating, he introduced: “This period is the busiest time in neon summer. Some folk activities will be held every two days. We are coming to Tokyo this time.
Fortunately, the Edo Festival is more famous. If you go to Osaka and Kyoto, there will definitely be more people there.
"And it's just the beginning now. There will be a fireworks display next month. I heard that it will be very lively and interesting."
After hearing this, Wu Shixun first nodded to express his understanding, and then immediately reacted and looked over with a wicked smile: "Brother, you understand so well? You don't want to bring your girlfriend to see you then, right?"
"I have this idea." Kim Jongdae did not deny it: "But we are not going back next month. We should be very busy. She also has to go to school and I guess she won't have time."
"What's so good about fireworks?"
Park Chanyeol seemed to have no interest in this. He picked his teeth and said with some boredom: "It's not like there is nothing in Seoul. Isn't it held every New Year? It is also treated as a festival here, and it has become so famous and hyped... Jongdae
I will recommend a nightclub to you, it is opened by someone in the industry that I know here. When you are free, you can take her to play, it will definitely satisfy you."
"Brother Zhong, this is a serious relationship. How can you take your girlfriend to that kind of nightclub?"
Chi Jingyuan, who was eating the food happily and listening, couldn't help but laugh. He knew without thinking what type of place Park Chanyeol recommended. He frowned and interrupted: "Brother, please don't come up with such an idea... and the fireworks
Of course it’s not fun to watch an event like this by yourself. The focus of this event is not the fireworks, but the atmosphere! It’s not meant for you to watch alone..."
After finishing speaking, he thought of similar scenes in several anime he had watched before, and added with interest: "Actually, I'm quite interested."
Summer festivals and fireworks displays often appear in various Neon animations. Chi Jingyuan, who had watched a lot of them, knew about them at the time, and was actually quite interested in some of the scenes while watching them.
It's a pity that although he understands Japanese, he has never lived here, and he doesn't know much about neon. He has never participated in such activities.
"..."
Wu Shixun, who was sitting next to him, discovered the point. He covered his mouth with his hands in an exaggerated manner, leaned over and asked softly: "Oh? You really have a new goal? Who do you want to take with you?"
"It's not you anyway."
Chi Jingyuan was too lazy to pay attention to him and ate his own food.
He was not very satisfied with the taste of the food in this restaurant. After eating half full quickly, he stopped moving. He sat next to him and listened to Park Chanyeol introduce the famous nightlife spots here, while playing with his mobile phone.
Just in time, not long after he picked up his phone, he received a text message from Zhou Ziyu with a vibration.
"Why didn't you reply to me when I sent you a text message last time?"
After sending a text message to Chi Jingyuan before but not replying, Twice seemed to be very busy in the past two days and did not contact her again. At this time, this girl may be free and was questioning Chi Jingyuan's excessive neglect in the past two days.
"Busy." Chi Jingyuan replied casually.
"oh……."
Zhou Ziyu didn't seem to expect that Chi Jingyuan actually replied in seconds. He was stunned for a moment and the speed of replying was a little slower, and the trace of resentment revealed in the text also disappeared at the same time.
One word settled it for her.
"Are you in Neon now? I saw the news about you at the airport on the Internet today."
"Well, I just finished the family concert, and I'm eating now... but I'm almost finished."
"What are you eating? (blinks curiously)"
“Neon cuisine…”
This girl seemed quite free at the moment, and the lack of contact for a few days made her very eager to chat. Chi Jingyuan, who was fine at the moment, also took the opportunity to chat with her for a few words. As he said that, he suddenly remembered
What: "I remember last time, didn't I hear Brother Zhenying said that you were going to have a holiday? It's already over?"
"No."
The simple two-word reply had an air of complaint. Chi Jingyuan could not help but imagine Zhou Ziyu's displeased look with his mouth pursed.
"Temporarily postponed."
"Can this also be postponed?"
"...Well, because the title song of our new album was temporarily changed, a lot of work suddenly increased...by the way, do you know about this?"
"I don't know. Didn't I say last time that it was confirmed to be "very very very"?"
Chi Jingyuan was a little surprised when he saw the news from Zhou Ziyu.
He and Park Jin Young talked about this topic when they had dinner together last time. He said that the title song of Twice's next album has been decided. This guy didn't hesitate. He seemed to really want to hear his opinion. The next day
I sent the demo of the song to Chi Jingyuan through the email "very very very" and gave it to Chi Jingyuan to listen to.
Chi Jingyuan also listened. The style is refreshing, lively and cute. The quality is pretty good, but not very high.
How should I put it? He thinks this is a slobbery song that is not very outstanding. The only highlight is that the chorus is catchy and addictive.
But Chi Jingyuan has always had a general feeling about this practice of using one word or pronunciation to repeat endlessly in the chorus to deepen the audience's impression in order to pursue the so-called popularity and toxicity.
... This bad habit is all blamed on Girls' Generation. "GEE" really set a bad start for future generations and distorted the atmosphere of KPOP.
Chi Jingyuan still doesn’t know what the word ‘gee’ means...
Going back to "very very very", in his opinion, the quality and level of this song are not as good as "cheer up". It is basically difficult to replicate the former's big hit, but it is indeed quite in line with Twice's style after the transformation.
If the choreography and makeup are good, it should be popular.
Unexpectedly, the song suddenly changed in just a few days.
“At first, I was sure it was this song, the parts had been divided, and the choreographer was about to start practicing, but suddenly he said he wanted to change the song... It seems that the PD thought this song was more suitable for IOI, so he temporarily gave it to
We changed the title song and gave this song to them..."
"IOI? What does it have to do with him?" Chi Jingyuan didn't react for a moment.
"Somi is in that group..."
"Oh, that's it." He understood immediately, and also understood why Zhou Ziyu's tone sounded obviously complaining and dissatisfied. This kind of song that had already been divided into parts and started to be practiced was replaced by someone else. No one can be sure.
I feel uncomfortable in my heart.
And if the song that was swapped out performed well after being sung by someone else, then she and the members of Twice would probably be even more miserable.
"I listened to the song "very very very", and I think the quality is actually average. It's quite ordinary and has no highlights. Maybe it would be a good thing if I changed it..."
"Really?... But I remember you commented on "Cheer Up" like this before." Zhou Ziyu seemed to not believe him.
Chi Jingyuan paused for a moment after seeing the reply.
I finally tried my best to comfort you, but you exposed my shortcomings?
Originally he wanted to criticize her, but thinking that the girl might not be in a good mood these two days, Chi Jingyuan tolerated her generously and then asked: "Which song did you change it to?"
"It's called "TT", and it's a song with a similar style...but I think it's a bit too cute."
"Isn't this your current style... What does the title "TT" mean?" Chi Jingyuan was a little curious when he saw the title of Twice's new song.
"It's a gesture when crying, with the thumb and index finger stretched out, oops..."
Zhou Ziyu first sent a text message to try to explain, but found it difficult to describe it vividly. After a while, he directly sent a photo.
In the photo, Zhou Ziyu has slightly curly black hair and looks very innocent without much makeup. She is holding a mobile phone in one hand and making a 'T' gesture with the other hand next to her face. At the same time, she purses her lips and winks in an aggrieved manner.
expression……
The light was a bit dark, but the big eyes and short face were still clearly visible. They actually looked a little cute.
So this is what ‘TT’ means…
Although the photo was actually quite nice, seeing her explanation still made Chi Jingyuan open his mouth speechlessly, not knowing what to say.
Because he feels that this method of using gestural pictograms as titles and choruses is as low as "GEE"...
Then she started to complain again, as if the aggrieved look in the photo was not staged: "That's what it means... So the vacation we agreed on before has been postponed. In addition to practicing the stage for the family concert these days, we
I have been learning new songs. Originally, my manager said that I could take nearly a week off during the previous holiday. I was also planning to go back to Tainan. I told my mother... but it was postponed to next month.
I don’t know if I’ll have a holiday by then, but even if I do, I’ll probably only have two or three days.”
It’s great that a popular idol can take a vacation, but there are still so many demands...
Seeing this girl's thoughts, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but complain.
However, because she was obviously aggrieved, Chi Jingyuan still didn't say it directly. He looked at the long series of text messages, hesitated for a moment, suddenly remembered something, and quickly clicked into one of his fan groups,
After browsing for a while, I found a picture of "Park Jin Young Beaten into Panda Eyes" and sent it to Zhou Ziyu.
Attachment: I have already taught him a lesson for you.
"Hahaha."
Zhou Ziyu was happy all of a sudden. He grinned and giggled. His big round eyes narrowed into slits. He didn't know whether it was because the picture looked funny or because he was so attracted by Chi Jingyuan.
The euphemistic safety feels very happy.
"Why did you beat him so hard... Well, since you have already taught him a lesson, I will forgive him!" The little girl was enjoying herself in the text message, and then suddenly mentioned something else: "
By the way, have you watched the news? The new movie "Train to Busan" will be released in a few days on the 20th. Don't you really like watching it? Do you want to watch it together?"
Zhou Ziyu was initiating the invitation with some caution.
"How did you know I like to watch this type of movie?"
"I just know...you said it before."
"Yes...I won't go with you if I don't go..."
"What are you doing? Why are you doing this?"
Sensing the girl's shame and anger from the text, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help laughing and stopped teasing her: "I guess there won't be much time by then. We will have five concerts in a row on the 22nd, and I will be exhausted."
All."
"Oh...okay then."
Zhou Ziyu responded obediently without forcing anything.
However, he still couldn't help but reveal his unconcealed disappointment.
Chi Jingyuan looked at the awkward traditional Chinese characters on his phone, thought about it, and finally added:
"Let's watch it again. It definitely won't work in the first few days after it's released, and we won't have time... We can wait until a few days after the release, if we are all free by then."
"good!"
The chat ended with Zhou Ziyu's crisp response. At this time, the others had almost finished eating and were making final arrangements. Chi Jingyuan, who had returned to his senses, heard what Park Chanyeol was saying again:
"...I know a very powerful person in the industry here. He can introduce many female artists here..."
With that said, he also cueed Chi Jingyuan: "Jingyuan, are you interested? You are very popular here and many people want to get to know you."
"ah?"
Chi Jingyuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and waved his hand:
