On the 16th, all members of Twice got up early in the morning and made various preparations for today's AAA.
Although AAA is held for the first time this year, and the value of the awards has not yet been recognized, the publicity stunts and guest lineup are not inferior to those of the usual year-end awards ceremonies. It is really like that, and this is what Twice
This is the first large-scale awards ceremony that I have participated in since the popularity of this year. My manager has previously hinted that I will win one or two relatively important awards, so everyone is looking forward to it and is full of energy.
Moreover, today is the first time everyone has met EXO and Chi Jingyuan after the Ming Jingnan love affair. After learning that Chi Jingyuan and Ming Jingnan are dating, many people's perceptions of him suddenly changed.
At the same time, this was also the first time they watched one of their members share the stage with the love interests of other boy groups. Thinking of that scene, many people had a strange feeling.
I just finished styling in the basement of my dormitory. After a lot of careful preparation and arriving at the scene, I spent a long time looking backstage. EXO saw it, but they didn't see Chi Jingyuan.
"Onie..."
Back in the lounge, Sun Caiying came to Mingjingnan in confusion and asked: "Why don't you see Jingyuan Oppa?"
Several people nearby were also very curious and looked over after hearing this.
Especially Zhou Ziyu, she has been sulking and has lost contact with Chi Jingyuan these days, so she doesn’t know...
"Yuan-chan...he has something to do and has to go to school today."
Although Minami was embarrassed to be under the gaze of so many teammates, it felt good to not have to be secretive anymore after her love affair was made public within the team.
And my girlfriend is worthy of being a girlfriend. She is indeed very clear about Chi Jingyuan's movements. After hesitating for a while, she said in a small voice that could hardly be heard unless she got closer: "So I have to come later, maybe I have to wait until the ceremony.
I took a break in between.”
"Going to school?"
Minazaki Saka blinked.
"Well, he has been busy with graduation matters in the past few months. He often goes to school recently and has planned a lot of schedules for this purpose."
"Oh, I remembered, Jingyuan Oppa seems to be in his graduation year..."
Sun Caiying nodded clearly, and then smacked her lips with envy: "Tsk tsk, Yonsei University, tsk tsk, Kyungwon Oppa is really awesome, I don't know how he got into it..."
In the industry, the academic qualifications of idol artists are generally low. Although some people have academic qualifications, they are seriously lacking in gold content. Ji Kyung-won, a real non-entertainment major Yonsei University graduate, is already very admirable.
.
"Is his school very good?" Momo Hirai, who had never known it before, asked, tilting her head.
Hearing this, Sun Chaeyoung's eyes widened, and she explained righteously: "Of course it's great. Yonsei University is one of the best schools in our country. Just like your neon... uh, what's going on..."
…………
"Are you still stuck?"
In the nanny's car, Chi Jingyuan raised his head and looked at the heavy traffic in front of him.
Cui Zhichang, the assistant driving the car, nodded and felt the steering wheel to estimate: "Well, I guess we will be stuck in traffic for a while."
After finishing his work at school, Chi Jingyuan rushed to the AAA venue by car without any delay. According to the estimated distance, he should be able to arrive during the intermission after the first half of the award ceremony.
But halfway through, he realized that he was a little naive. The bustling roads in Seoul were still so congested at night. They had been stuck at this intersection for almost ten minutes.
"Fine……"
The corners of Chi Jingyuan's mouth twitched, and he shook his head. He was not in a hurry, and took his mobile phone to reply to a text message that Ming Jingnan had just sent.
There is no point in being anxious at this time. Anyway, I have been vaccinated with my manager before, and in order to cope with this situation, including him, he is very skilled at performing all EXO songs on the eight-person stage.
If the organizer and the company hadn't wanted him to show his face, he actually wouldn't have wanted to go...
After sending the text message, he casually browsed the news on the Internet. When he logged in to the homepage and took a quick look, he saw many drafts about "The Legend of the Blue Sea".
In the past two days, SBS's new drama "The Legend of the Blue Sea" has been promoted a lot. Various stills and interviews with actors can be seen everywhere. It can be seen that the organizer and the TV station have invested considerable resources in pre-heating.
However, this drama is indeed very strong. The main actors Jun Ji-hyun and Lee Min-ho are very strong, especially the editor Park Ji-eun. This is her first script after the hit drama "My Love from the Star" became popular in Asia in 2014, and it has been highly praised.
The expectations are predictable.
This drama is one of the TV dramas that has been aired in recent times, and it has the best promotion, writer's status, and cast.
The first episode of this drama will be officially aired today, and Chi Jingyuan's "Ghost" is scheduled to be released on the 2nd of next month. The two dramas are only half a month apart, and they can be said to be complete direct competitors.
Interestingly, the last work of "Goblin" writer Kim Eun-sook, "Descendants of the Sun", was also popular in Asia. Even if the person involved did not mean that, interested people and audiences would naturally compare the two together.
Therefore, in the past two days, the crew of "Goblin" did not give in and released a lot of stills. The beautiful background in the photos, as well as Ji Jingyuan's windbreaker style and Bae Suzy's pure beauty became a hot topic as soon as they were exposed.
The topic remains highly discussed.
Even before the official broadcast, the two dramas have already begun to compete openly or covertly in various places.
After browsing the news for a while, the traffic jam finally started to move. At the same time, Chi Jingyuan checked the time and saw that it was already the time for AAA's live broadcast tonight, so he entered the V APP and watched the live broadcast...
After just watching for a while, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but frown, shook his head and sighed.
Right up front was the stage for this year's monster newcomer Blackpink, who performed the hit song "Playing with Fire", but regardless of whether the microphone was turned on or not, the sound equipment sounded very average, and I don't know if it was arranged by the organizer.
The problem is that the performance has started on the stage, but the guests below have not yet taken their seats. There are people walking around all the time. It looks extremely chaotic, and few people are paying attention to the performance above.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It's... quite disrespectful.
As the car gradually accelerated and the award ceremony gradually progressed, Chi Jingyuan became more and more speechless as he watched.
The venue for the first AAA was also very ordinary. Kyung Hee University’s Peace Hall was chosen... Although the Peace Hall is not a small venue, it is also the regular venue for the Baeksang Arts Awards every year.
However, this kind of auditorium-like venue is really not very suitable for holding this kind of Kpop-related awards, because the stage is very small and cannot be used, and the seats under the stage are set up like listening to reports at a conference, which seems a bit too serious.
, there is no lively atmosphere of cheering at all.
The Kpop stage requires cooperation with the support of fans to show its greatest charm. The two complement each other.
Especially the awards ceremony is also very stupid. The organizer set up a turntable in the middle of the stage. All the winners stood on the turntable at first. After the winners were announced, they slowly turned from the back to the front. This was the part where they were unveiled.
It's really tacky and embarrassing, and the ten seconds it took to turn around were like a public execution.
Chi Jingyuan couldn't imagine if he were up there. When he slowly turned around, it was really hard to decide whether he should smile or make a sullen face.
Seeing Wu Shixun and his group swinging around on the turntable, with their usually handsome poses now looking particularly funny, Chi Jingyuan was really glad that he didn't arrive on time.
In addition to this, there is another point that is very unpleasant...or rather helpless.
AAA is not only a Kpop awards ceremony, but also has many awards for actors, so many actors were also invited to the scene, and these actors were arranged at the front and middle area of the auditorium, probably to highlight the
The guest lineup is so strong that the director often gives them close-up shots of their reaciton.
But in the general concept of the peninsula, compared to idols or comedians, the social status of actors is higher... Even many amateur actors have received a lot of glory, so in many close-ups, some actors react
There was no expression at all, and some didn't even bother to applaud. They kept a straight face the whole time, as if they were already giving face just by sitting there... Even some idols turned actors were like this.
Although the combined ratings of the dramas performed by these idiots may not be as good as Chi Jingyuan's, and their earnings are even less than his, they still have such an inexplicable sense of superiority.
Although they may not dare to look down on Chi Jingyuan... but from the perspective of an idol, Chi Jingyuan actually felt quite unhappy when he saw this scene.
Of course, there are also many actors who are very respectable, especially people like Yoona sunbae. Whenever the camera cuts to it, they are all smiles and applauding non-stop!
After watching for half an hour, Chi Jingyuan was really desperate for this first-ever AAA. Whether it was the lighting, equipment, atmosphere, stage arrangement, or overall effect, it was nothing compared to large award ceremonies such as MMA and MAMA.
Derby.
And the most important award presentation is even more interesting. There are two to three winners for each award. It’s like wholesale for free, just come and get it!
However, the energy and reputation of the organizer are really great, and the guests invited are all very important. The most popular boy and girl groups EXO and Twice on the idol side are here, and the actors are even more impressive. This year
Starring actors from several popular dramas such as "Signal", "Doctors", "Descendants of the Sun", "Moonlight Drawn by Clouds", etc. were present. Several acquaintances of Ji Kyung-won were also present, such as Park Shin-hye, Kim Ji-won... and Bae
Show wisdom.
It's just that although the number of guests is not small, it cannot change the fact that the entire ceremony is a grass-roots team.
If an award ceremony is held like this, the awards will naturally have little value.
Forget it, let’s join in the fun...
…………
AAA had already reached the 40-minute mark of the second half. Twice, who had been preparing for a long time, walked out of the lounge at the greeting of the stewards. It would be their performance time soon, and now they had to go to the front desk to prepare for the performance.
Just a few steps out of the lounge, they met a group of Seventeen people who had just come off the stage with their faces full of clothes and sweat on their faces.
"nang~plop!"
As a boy and girl group that debuted in the same year, they often met on TV stations when they returned at the same time. The two groups are quite familiar with each other. Lin Nayeon and Yoo Jung-yeon made lively gestures and covered the performance they just performed on the Seventeen stage.
song, the sociable Saka Minatozaki smiled and said hello, and Twice and others stopped and chatted briefly.
However, Nai Minami didn't come forward. She said hello with a smile and stood aside. Then she pursed her lips and looked around in the direction of the EXO lounge next to them... The EXO lounge next to where they are now happens to be.
, she had already figured it out clearly when she came to rehearsal in the morning.
In the text message just now, my boyfriend said that the traffic jam is very serious, and I don’t know if it is coming now.
Zhou Ziyu was in no mood even more. She leaned against the wall and looked at her white shoes, not knowing what she was thinking.
At this moment, there was a sudden movement not far away.
"ah!"
"What are you guys doing here?"
"I just went to the bathroom...you still knew to come?"
"You don't even know what the traffic jam is like. It's great that you can come... Speaking of which, when you received the award just now, Wu Shixun's expression made me laugh to death. I took a screenshot and will show it to you later."
"Hahaha...post it directly in the group!"
After hearing this, Najing Nan's eyes lit up. She immediately recognized her boyfriend's voice, raised her head and looked over there.
Zhou Ziyu next to her also raised her head suddenly, her purple curly hair trembled, and made exactly the same movements as Ming Jingnan. The movements and amplitudes of the two people were exactly the same, and they were astonishingly synchronized.
Soon, as the sound gradually approached, several figures walked around the corner and walked into their sight. The three EXO members Wu Sehun, Kim Junmyeon and Park Chanyeol were already very familiar with each other, and several of them had already changed.
Chi Jingyuan, who was walking in the middle, looked much plainer in comparison. He was wearing a dark gray hooded sweater and sweatpants. The hat of the sweater was round on his head, and his bangs and hair were exposed in pieces.
He is tall, with a pair of black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and combined with his plain face, he looks exactly like a college student who has just walked out of campus.
However, such an ordinary outfit highlighted a very special temperament at this time, which was particularly eye-catching. When a few people came over, the originally lively chat here suddenly became quiet.
Chi Jingyuan, who had just arrived backstage, happened to meet a few members who had returned from the bathroom. They were laughing and chatting. Unexpectedly, after walking two steps and not reaching the lounge, he walked around the corner and looked up and saw them.
Ming Jingnan...and Zhou Ziyu.
His eyes lit up slightly. Today, his little girlfriend’s makeup is very beautiful. The pure white high-neck sweater with exposed waist emphasizes innocence, while the rosy red lips and well-placed eyeliner emphasizes sexiness. The combination is quite seductive.
Man, I like him very much.
After briefly exchanging glances with Ming Jingnan, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but look at Zhou Ziyu not far away, and their eyes met in the air.
Mingjing Nan is okay, she has been very attached to him every day these days...I always find time to send text messages or video chats...but Zhou Ziyu has really not contacted him since the phone call three days ago.
This girl also wore exquisite makeup and her purple curly hair looked very nice. However, after noticing Chi Jingyuan's gaze, her originally natural expression became deflated involuntarily. With her short face, it looked like
He looks like a complete doormat.
Zhou Ziyu glanced at him secretly, then straightened his mouth and looked elsewhere, as if he didn't want to pay attention to him.
However, Chi Jingyuan smiled in his heart after seeing it.
... He knew this little girl so well that he could tell at a glance whether she was really angry or not.
Although the two groups of people had not yet communicated after they met, the atmosphere suddenly became interesting.
If it were before, the other members of Twice might not be aware of these little eye movements.
But after learning about the love relationship between Chi Jingyuan and Mingjing Nan, most people immediately felt the subtlety of it. Lin Nalian, Yu Dingyan and others had strange expressions, while standing next to Mingjing Nan
Sun Caiying was still grinning mischievously, looking back and forth at the man and woman with relish.
She caught all the eye contact between Chi Jingyuan and Mingjing Nan, and she was really shocked.
"Anihasay..." Of course, the Seventeen people didn't know what was going on. They just bowed politely after seeing the EXO people, and even Twice next to them also followed suit.
Chi Jingyuan and the others nodded to them. Just when they were about to say something, they seemed to hear the noise outside. Manager An Chengyuan opened the door and walked out. He saw Chi Jingyuan in an instant, and immediately
He looked relieved: "Hey Yigu, Jingyuan, you are finally here."
"Brother, didn't you just send a text message about the traffic jam?" Chi Jingyuan felt that the agent's attitude was a bit exaggerated.
"Who knew you were stuck in traffic for an hour..." An Chengyuan smiled bitterly, and then suddenly noticed Chi Jingyuan's face: "Jingyuan, you don't have any makeup? And your clothes..."
"What makeup should I wear when I go to school?"
Chi Jingyuan innocently held the frame and looked down at his sweatshirt: "What's wrong with this clothes?"
"He rarely wears makeup in private." Wu Shixun next to him interjected, then curled his lips and murmured a few words in a low voice with Jin Junmian next to him. He vaguely heard something about "it's better to rely on your skin".
Sounds like "arrogant".
An Chengyuan looked helplessly at Chi Jingyuan, sighed, and called them to the lounge:
"Time is running out and I don't have time to choose clothes...Forget it, then you can wear this on stage, but you must wear a hat..."
While they were talking, Twice behind them did not stop any longer, passing by Seventeen and heading towards the front desk.
Chi Jingyuan, on the other hand, followed the manager towards the lounge. When he was about to walk in, he seemed to feel something. He stopped and turned around to take a look.
He happened to see Najing Nan, who was following Twice at the end of the team, looking back at him. When he saw Chi Jingyuan also looking over, his eyebrows and the corners of his mouth raised at the same time, revealing a full smile.
After looking at each other for a second, Chi Jingyuan blinked. He didn't know why he was convulsed. His expression was extremely serious, but he suddenly jumped slightly on the spot, lightly drew a circle with his right hand, and then directly
He raised it in front of him and made a funny and funny move.
"Pfft..."
After Mingnan saw it, he couldn't help but burst into laughter. His eyes turned into crescents, and he covered his mouth with joy.
Even though Chi Jingyuan's movements were small and not very standard, she immediately saw that he was covering her favorite Sailor Moon pose recently.
Finally, she gave her boyfriend a charming look. Mingjing Nan turned around and followed Twice's troops. Sun Chaeyoung, who was next to her, seemed to have noticed this. She looked back at Chi Jingyuan in surprise, and then hurried to her side.
Next to Mingjing Nan, someone smiled and muttered jokingly.
