Hearing Wu Shixun's worry, Chi Jingyuan also thought of this in an instant and frowned: "How can I say this song is also my... our collaboration song? I have seen the finished product of the MV, and it is very well-made.
Yes, everyone looks very handsome in the black and white color palette..."
After thinking about it, Twice's popularity in the past two days was indeed a bit unexpected. The sound source burst was a bit scary. After speaking, Chi Jingyuan hesitated, took a sip of orange juice, and continued: "And it doesn't count.
"TT's commercial is just a subway song, and we don't participate in song competitions. Whether "TT" is a hit or not has no impact on us... Even if our results are suppressed, it's normal~"
Advertising is a matter for the advertising company, and 'Subway Song' is just a project of SM Company this year. One song will be released every week, and the company will not do too much publicity. It is a type of cooperation and music source.
The attempt and feedback to fans will not be like a warm-up like an idol's return. All kinds of promotions, showcases, concepts and the like are not considered a formal return.
This project has released 30 or 40 songs since the beginning of the year. There are only a handful of really popular songs, namely "Rain" and "Dancing King", which are considered big hits, so in fact, "really really" has no achievements.
pressure.
It's just that in Chi Jingyuan's subconscious mind, whether it is Ming Jingnan, Zhou Ziyu, or the entire Twice, they are just newcomers and juniors. Although "Cheer Up" has become a big hit, it is too early to know them after all. After all, they are watching them.
For his debut, even "Cheer Up" was produced by him.
Therefore, his overall impression of TWCIE has not changed. Sometimes it still stays at the stage when they are still young and not popular. Subconsciously, he feels that Twice cannot pose a threat to EXO or even himself, and is completely disconnected from other EXO
There is no difference between the boy group and the girl group of Little Karami.
But the changes in the music industry are so fast... Although there is no performance pressure for subway songs, if "really really", which he is very optimistic about, is ruthlessly knocked out by "TT", among other things, he will definitely feel quite embarrassed.
Now, if you round it out a little bit, you can think of losing before thinking about winning!
"Who said you can't play songs?"
Unexpectedly, Wu Shixun disagreed with his statement. He raised his eyebrows and retorted directly: "At the beginning of the year, Taeyeon's subway song "Rain" won the first place, didn't she? I remember that Gfriend's "Time Passage" was completely popular, and "
"Rain" even grabbed a seat, but it seems like she didn't even show up, right?"
"Forehead……"
Chi Jingyuan was suddenly speechless.
It seems that there is such a thing!
All the excuses were blocked, Chi Jingyuan suddenly didn’t know
What should I say? I glared at him angrily: "That's Taeyeon. I'm Kim Taeyeon. I'm Girls' Generation. Who are you?"
After saying that, he directly picked up his phone and started scrolling, then ran away after finishing the conversation.
Seeing this, Wu Shixun couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Xiba, I am just a collaborator, this is not my song!
"But instead of worrying about our subway song..."
After a minute of silence, Chi Jingyuan scrolled through his phone, picked up the orange juice in front of him, bit the straw and drank the last bit.
As he was talking, he looked at a piece of news that had just been viewed on his phone and raised his eyebrows.
Today, Twice is flying to Jeju Island to record the Jeju Island special episode of "M!countdown", which is also the first stage of "TT" after his comeback. He arrived in the morning, and now in less than a few hours, he has been assigned to the media and marketing
Today's airport photo of Twice posted by No. 1.
After clicking in and scanning, I saw Nai Minami's airport photo today. She wore a burgundy jacket with a black lining, a mobile phone in her hand, a couple ring and another ring on her index finger and middle finger respectively. The one she gave her last time
The bracelet has also been worn on the right wrist...
Chi Jingyuan feels that the clothes of his girlfriend's private clothes are really good, and although she looks gentle and weak, her usual private clothes prefer a more youthful look.
And when you're with him, your style will change accordingly, becoming more sexy.
There is a slight contrast, which makes you feel fresh whenever you look at it...
However, Twice's comeback is really strong this time. The airport photos are updated so quickly, and many marketing accounts repost them. This is a treatment only given by a trendy group.
Chi Jingyuan looked at Mingjing Nan's photo for a while, feeling slightly agitated. Then he casually looked through the airport photos of other Twice members. At the same time, he continued what he just said with a strange expression and a subtle tone: "Why don't you worry about it, uncle?"
Brother Xian and the others, they are the ones who are about to collide with Twice head-on..."
Except for Ming Jing Nan, Zhou Ziyu is well-dressed. Compared with Ming Jing Nan, the airport fashion of the others is not interesting, and they still look a little green... Chi Jingyuan raised his head and glanced at Wu Shixun: "They seem to
Is there going to be a showcase today?"
After long preparations, CBX, the much-anticipated first sub-unit of EXO, is finally going to make its official debut. The previously expected debut date was the end of October. According to the current situation, after consideration by the company, it was placed on October 27th.
It's today.
The team's debut is much more formal than any of their subway songs. Teaser photos and concept photos have been released several times, including the OST of "Bu Bu Jing Xin" and the trio's concert. All kinds of preparations started very early.
Hot, the unit's debut showcase will be held today and the whole process will be broadcast live on V LIVE. It is no different from the process of EXO's return. It can be said that they really take it seriously, and the treatment does not live up to the name of 'EXO's first unit'
head.
EXO is now the undisputed top group in Kpop. CBX, as their first sub-unit, is of course attracting much attention, and in everyone's mind, it is natural that the sub-unit must have excellent results.
Many people originally thought that the EXO sub-unit had inherited the popularity of the main group and should be the gods to stop the gods and have no rivals... But everyone thought that Twice would suddenly pop up and the momentum would be scary.
In this way, the situation suddenly becomes a little difficult to say...
However, for Twice, the EXO team is actually the most stressful competitor besides IOI recently.
"Yeah, Brother Baekhyun and the others have probably rehearsed at the venue now. I just found photos of the venue in the group, didn't you see?" Wu Shixun nodded and swiped his fingers on his phone a few times.
Then he suddenly remembered something: "By the way, did you record the congratulatory video for CBX?"
"Of course I recorded it."
While talking, Chi Jingyuan stood up when he saw Wu Shixun also finished his coffee: "The day before yesterday, I received a call from Seung Yuan brother when I was on the set. I didn't even shoot the scene, so I asked Zhi Chang brother to record it for me.
A video.”
CBX is about to debut, no matter what the other EXO members think in their hearts, or whether there is any little Jiujiu, but as a member of the group, it is natural to congratulate them.
With the help of their managers, everyone in EXO specially recorded a video to congratulate CBX on their debut, which will be played as a surprise at CBX's debut showcase today for them and fans to see.
The two of them got up and left the coffee shop and took the elevator upstairs. After stepping out of the elevator, Chi Jingyuan asked curiously: "By the way, how much are the pre-sales for CBX's debut album?"
"I saw it was 350,000 the day before yesterday, and it should be almost 400,000 now." Unlike Chi Jingyuan who has been focusing on other things recently and not paying much attention to it, Wu Shixun understands it very well.
"Well……"
Upon hearing this number, Chi Jingyuan groaned noncommittally.
"What do you mean? Do you think it's more or less?"
"Is it...a little less?"
After hesitating for a moment, he told the truth.
The song will be officially released today. CBX fans should have bought everything they want, but the pre-sale price so far is less than 400,000. After the official release, if it is not the kind of hit song that is very popular, according to experience, the final
Sales volume should only be around 500,000 to 600,000.
Although this number is unimaginable for other groups, even the now popular TWICE is completely out of reach, but compared with EXO itself, as the first subunit that has attracted a lot of attention, it seems slightly
A little less.
"I think it's actually okay."
Wu Shixun thought it was pretty good.
He sighed, looking very understanding: "...Now our group has fewer and fewer fans, but more and more fans, and many fans may not necessarily buy the team's products.
You don’t even look at the configuration of the CBX team... If you were here, it would definitely not be this number..."
"And there is no Chinese version of CBX's debut album..." At the end, he added in a complicated tone.
Many of EXO's super sales in recent years have been contributed by mainland fans. Although there will still be a lot of fan support without a Chinese version, it will definitely be much less.
"Too……"
After hearing his analysis, Chi Jingyuan thought for a while and nodded in agreement.
But this hanging man really knows how to talk, and his words "If you were here..." made him feel happy.
He was about to walk to the practice room. Just when Chi Jingyuan was about to continue saying something, he suddenly felt his phone vibrate. He picked it up and saw that it was a text message from Najing Nan.
"Is Gen-chan free now (smiley face)?"
Um?
After seeing the content, Chi Jingyuan blinked. He had just seen Ming Jingnan's airport photo, and he was still thinking about her... Without hesitation, he quickly replied.
Of course I'm free.
Less than five seconds after the message was sent, the phone vibrated, and Ming Jingnan made a video call directly.
Looking at the vibrating phone, Chi Jingyuan looked around. There was an echo in the corridor and it was not suitable for video. He grabbed Wu Shixun who had just opened the door to the practice room and was about to walk in. He pointed at the phone and pursed his lips slightly:
"How about you go to the toilet?"
Wu Shixun understood what he meant instantly, walked in and pulled out his legs halfway, gave a middle finger with great disdain, and turned around to leave.
Chi Jingyuan smiled and waved goodbye to his back, walked into the empty EXO practice room, closed the door and sat directly on the sofa, connected to the video, and after a brief buffering, a pretty face appeared.
appear on the screen.
Mingjing Nan seemed to see Chi Jingyuan at the same time, with obvious joy flashing through his eyebrows.
She shook the camera slightly and said, "Can you see it?"
"Stop shaking. If you shake your eyes again, you will be blinded." Chi Jingyuan leaned on the sofa and couldn't help but smile when he looked at his little girlfriend on the screen.
"Hee~ Yuan-chan, what are you doing?" Najing Nan blinked at Chi Jingyuan and looked around him: "Your background...is it in the practice room?"
"Well, I filmed two scenes on the set in the morning. After dinner, I had a meeting with the advertising agency. I just arrived at the practice room." Chi Jingyuan explained today's itinerary in detail. He knew that Ming Jingnan
I just like hearing him say this.
"Will you return to the set later?"
"I won't go back today. I have to prepare for the Mercedes press conference the day after tomorrow...and then review my homework."
After saying that, he tilted his head, looked at Mingnan and asked curiously: "Didn't you go to Jeju Island to record "M!C" today?"
"Yes, we just finished the rehearsal, so I sneaked out while I had nothing to do... But I won't stay for long, I have to go back to film Twice TV later."
Minami smiled, and as she spoke, she zoomed out a little further to reveal the surrounding background. At this time, she seemed to be in a parking lot, her voice had a slight echo, and she was wearing a poolside dress.
The burgundy jacket that Yuan had seen on the news before had a rehearsal name tag attached to the chest.
After showing the surrounding environment, Mingjing Nan zoomed the camera a little closer, looked at Chi Jingyuan with shining eyes, and complained with a sticky mouth: "...You don't even know the temperature in Jeju Island today.
So low,”
"Then you're still wearing a skirt?" Chi Jingyuan's eyes slightly lowered. Although there was only his girlfriend's face in the video, he had seen the airport photos and knew that she was wearing a small leather skirt today, and her legs were completely exposed.
.
"Aren't we going to the airport? Our manager Ernie told us in advance that there must be a lot of media taking photos, so let's dress up and look good..."
Feeling his little girlfriend's coquettishness, Chi Jingyuan also nodded in approval: "It's indeed pretty."
"Also, the wind here is very strong. During the rehearsal, my hair was blown all over my face and I couldn't open my eyes... The same happened to Sana. Her eyes were covered by her hair and she almost fell down.
.”
"...I had seafood noodles for lunch today, but the taste was a bit too salty, not as good as the one I ate with you last time."
"...My stage outfit today is a pink suit and a small skirt. I quite like this color. Caiying and the others said it looks pretty. I originally wanted to put it on and show it to you, but it's a pity that this
Is it still possible to change it..."
Mingjing Nan seemed to have endless things to say, and talked about a lot of today's events in her grandmother's voice, as if she wanted to share all her experiences with Chi Jingyuan.
"Yuan-chan..."
As she spoke, her voice slowly slowed down and became lower. She looked at him, raised her upper lip slightly and whispered:
"I miss you so much..."
"..."
Hearing this, Chi Jingyuan paused slightly.
After having an intimate relationship some time ago, Nai Minami became extremely attached to him. She followed him wherever he went in the apartment all afternoon, wishing that he would never get off his body.
For the two of them, this is a time when they are inseparable. After not seeing each other for a few days, the little girlfriend is obviously a little worried.
Hearing Mingjing Nan's murmuring voice and feeling the sincerity and attachment in her heart, Chi Jingyuan could clearly feel that his eyes were all about him, and he suddenly felt pity in his heart.
After being quiet for about ten seconds, facing Naijing Nan's straightforward expression of emotion, he thought about it for a moment and did not say any love words such as "I miss you too". Instead, he looked at the time displayed on his phone.
After estimating the time, he said directly:
"Let's see, it's 2:20 in the afternoon. I'll put aside other things today and rush to Incheon Airport to take a plane to Jeju Island. I should be able to land before five o'clock and rush to the venue of "M!C"
Ask an acquaintance to help you sneak in, and if you wear a mask to disguise yourself, no one will notice."
"Pfft..."
Najing Nan burst into laughter, showing his teeth as usual and smiling happily, hehehe, looking at him happily.
Although what Chi Jingyuan said was serious, she knew that there was not much possibility of realizing it...and even if he could really come, she would not delay her boyfriend's business because of herself.
But she was already very happy to hear Chi Jingyuan say this without much hesitation.
In the video, the two people looked at each other and slowly became quiet, seemingly enjoying the sweet feeling of looking at each other.
However, Chi Jingyuan still remembered that Mingjing Nan had sneaked out, and after checking the time, he reminded: "It's getting late, do you want to go back first?"
But the little girlfriend was obviously reluctant to leave. She also looked at the time, pouted and shook her head: "Just stay for a while... um, three minutes."
"correct."
Just after she finished speaking, she seemed to have remembered something, raised her eyebrows, and quickly zoomed out, showing her upper body in front of the camera.
Without any prelude, she suddenly jumped on the spot, drew a strange circle on her chest with her right hand and raised it high. At the same time, her expression also changed suddenly. After posing, she tilted her head and looked at Chi Jingyuan seriously.
.
"..."
Mingjing Nan suddenly did this for no reason, and the sticky atmosphere was instantly destroyed. Chi Jingyuan was also dumbfounded after seeing such a nonsensical action.
What is this doing?
Having a convulsion?
Are the body parts funny?
"Mina, what are you..."
The air suddenly became silent. He looked at Minami, who was posing motionless in the video. After pausing for a few seconds, he hesitated and asked.
The seriousness on Najing Nan's face disappeared, and she smiled and looked at Chi Jingyuan expectantly. She still maintained this funny pose, as if she was about to transform: "Yuan-chan, who do you think I look like with this action?"
Well, it turns out I was cosplaying...
It didn't matter if he had convulsions. Chi Jingyuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Who does it look like? It should be an anime character... He looked at Minami's ridiculous pose, pursed his lips and recalled it carefully. Then he seemed to have remembered something, and asked tentatively: "It's... "Beauty"
Venus from "Shoujo Warrior"?"
"I knew you could tell!"
After hearing Chi Jingyuan's answer, Mingjing Nan immediately smiled and stopped posing. He looked at Chi Jingyuan happily close to the camera, and then explained cheerfully: "Didn't we go to record "Snl Korea" yesterday?
Jihyo, Momo-chan, and Chaeyoung and I cosplayed as Sailor Moon. My cosplayer was Venus, and we also recorded the theme song..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mingjing Nan jumped on the spot with a bang, raised his right hand high again, looked at Chi Jingyuan seriously and asked: "Do you think this action is very handsome?"
Chi Jingyuan only felt the screen shake for a while. He was really worried that Ming Jingnan's phone would be thrown to the ground. When it became clear again, he saw his little girlfriend again making this funny posture that made people speechless.
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, not knowing what to say.
Mingjing Nan's temperament and appearance are relatively soft, a bit like a lady's asceticism, but when she does such funny actions in a serious manner, she will have a very contrasting sense of comedy, which makes people dumbfounded when they look at her, but she
I also like to do this from time to time.
However, I really like this contrast.
"Yes, he's a bit handsome." After hesitating for a moment, Chi Jingyuan still agreed with her statement against his will, but when he saw Ming Jingnan grinning so happily in the video and continuing to pose happily, he followed suit.
We laughed together.
"One more minute!"
After making a fuss for a while, Nai Minami checked her phone, and took the last moment to share an interesting thing that just happened with Chi Jingyuan: "Yuan-chan, did you know that in the morning, there was a boyfriend who had just debuted backstage?
Dou asked me for my phone number in the corridor. Chaeyoung was right next to me at the time, and he came right over."
"Which group? Are they so arrogant just after they debuted?"
Chi Jingyuan blinked when he heard this and asked in surprise.
Twice is so popular now, and it's normal for Mingnan's appearance to be popular. I don't know how many people inside and outside the circle have a good impression of her. Some people take action. Chi Jingyuan doesn't think it's anything, just feels this behavior.
A little more arrogant.
"It seems it's called Pentagon, a boy band that just debuted. The member is also from Neon. That's probably why..."
"That's it...then what do you say?"
"Of course I refused. I just said that the phone was managed by the company... I hate people who go too far and have no sense of proportion."
Nai Minami's tone was obviously complaining... She liked Chi Jingyu and Yuan Gui, but she had very high standards. When Minazaki Saka complained about the trainees, she didn't like this one and she didn't like that one.
of.
Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but laugh. Even the way this little girlfriend rejected people was in line with her temperament.
He nodded and said casually: "That's good to say... You can't just say that you already have a boyfriend, right?"
I just didn't expect that Najing Nan would pause for a moment after hearing this, pursed his lips and looked at him seriously:
"If this happens again next time...that's what I'll say."
…………
At around eight o'clock in the evening, on the special stage at the east side plaza of COEX in Samseong-dong, Seoul, more than half of EXO-CBX's debut showcase was already in progress. After several stage performances, it was now time to play the surprise VCR.
The three of them, Byun Baekhyun, and the thousands of fans present were watching the VCR playing on the big screen... Most people didn't know the content of this VCR in advance.
When other members appeared on the screen and congratulated EXO-CBX on their debut, the audience burst into cheers.
Especially the moment Chi Jingyuan showed his face, the screams below escalated to another level.
"Aniha Saiyo, I am EXO's maknae Yuan."
Chi Jingyuan was wearing a black suit, standing in front of the light-colored wooden wall, looking at the camera and sincerely sending out his blessings: "Xiumin brother, Chen brother, and Baekhyun brother...congratulations to CBX on their official debut."
{The maknae’s face is really outstanding...} Kim Min-seok’s sigh came from the stage.
"I have listened to the full version of the music and watched the MV. CBX has prepared very carefully this time."
"Please look forward to and support EXO-CBX, Kang Sang Mida~"
As Chi Jingyuan bowed, the three CBX people cheered together with the fans below.
No matter what the truth is in private, all fans can feel the strong group spirit of EXO at this time, which is really touching.
The showcase was held, the members participated, and the group spirit was established. EXO's first sub-unit's debut was almost perfect, but now it's just short of a result that meets everyone's expectations.
At this time, not only the audience at the scene were paying attention, but countless EXO fans were watching the live broadcast on V APP and discussing the unit's debut in their respective chat groups.
"Congratulations to EXO-CBX for their official debut! Wow, wuli XO is really full of spirit. I almost cried when I saw other members blessing each other."
"I have been waiting for so long to finally have a small team...but I always feel that the configuration is a little bit worse, and my destiny is not there."
"I also feel that I don't know what SM thinks about CBX's configuration. If the lead singer line forms a team, why are Yuan and D.O. not there? The results of the first unit are very important, and they are responsible for planning for subsequent units.
It’s a big responsibility to have a good start, but in the end there are no popular Line members. I’ve always been a bit indifferent to romantic stars like Baekhyun. I don’t know what a 35-year-old middle-aged man wants to do if he still hangs out in EXO.”
"It would be great if Yuan was here..."
"Yuan's popularity does not require the exposure of the team. He is already too busy filming movies now."
"Yuan really shouldn't be in the sub-unit, and wasn't there news that Yuan was going to leave solo? I've heard this news a long time ago. When will there be official news?"
"I've also heard this news, and I'm already saving money. I'm totally looking forward to it!! ...But who is SM's subway song this week? Isn't it usually announced about a week in advance? What about this week's song?
There’s no news until today?”
"Don't talk about this now. Anyway, today is the debut of XO's first unit. The sound source will be released soon. Come on, Aris. The data will start to surge in a while. Twice and "TT" are really awesome recently.
, no matter what, we can’t be overwhelmed by them.”
"Indeed, this new girl group has been a bit arrogant in the past two days. I feel annoyed when I see Lin Nalian's face. She pretends to be cute and cute every day. It's disgusting. It doesn't matter if they don't have any opponents in the past few days. Let them see what they are doing this time.
