Minazaki Saka stared blankly at Nai Minami who was clenching her fists next to her.
Although the volume was not loud and her voice was a bit cheesy... she could still clearly feel Mingjing Nan's attachment, infatuation, determination and perseverance from her eyes, tone of voice, and even her momentum.
These words were all traits that were rarely seen in the life of this gentle girl she was familiar with, but at this time, they all appeared in her body slightly unexpectedly.
She knows that Mingjing Nan is not actually that tough character. She is reserved, lazy, gentle, homely, smart, and occasionally scheming. She is actually not good at it, and she doesn't like those related to struggle.
matter.
But at this time, he was so calm and determined...
For some reason, Minazaki Saka suddenly felt that her little sister seemed to be glowing, which stung her eyes slightly and made her feel a little bit ashamed.
She knows some of the little thoughts she has buried deep in her heart... If it were her, would she be as persistent as she is?
Minatozaki Saka didn't know the answer, but the confidence she had always had in herself dimmed a little.
But she quickly came back to her senses, rolled her eyes, and made a fist gesture with a smile: "Mina-chan! Huaiting! Just got it!"
"Hehe~"
After fighting for a while, Minazaki Saka noticed that Nai Minami seemed to have remembered something. She picked up her phone and took a beautiful selfie of herself. After selecting it for a long time, she sent it after a while.
Without asking, she knew it must have been sent to Chi Jingyuan.
Then she saw the little sister think about it again, then lowered her head and started tapping the screen... Minazaki Saka came closer, and Nai Minami didn't mean to hide it. She easily saw what she typed:
"When you are free in a few days, Yuan-chan, let's go watch a movie!"
After Nai Minami sent it, Minazaki Saka couldn't help but asked in a low voice: "Isn't it just backstage... why are you taking the initiative to send a message now?"
"And the only one that seems to be good to watch recently is "Doctor Strange", but Mina, didn't you say before that you only like Iron Man and have no interest in "Doctor Strange"?"
"It's just because I didn't look good just now, that's why I sent the message. I can't let that woman succeed!"
Mingjing Nan rubbed the corner of his mouth with his little tongue, smiled softly, and said in a soft voice:
"I'm really not interested, but it still depends on who I go with..."
"Besides, I'm not here to watch a movie."
…………
Although today's AAA is full of the fun and sloppiness of a grass-roots team, after all, the guest lineup is very strong, and a lot of publicity and warm-up have been done before. The dual awards for actors and singers are indeed innovative, so the ratings and popularity are still
Very amazing.
Of course, the ambiguity between male and female idols, the secrets and subtleties behind the scenes cannot be seen by the audience, but just what they see on stage and live is enough to arouse widespread discussion.
The most interesting thing is that after the AAA live broadcast, what everyone was talking about was not the awarding of awards, who won and who did not win, and whether there was any shady sharing of pork, which is a topic that usually comes up after most award ceremonies. Instead,
It was a heated discussion about the actor wearing blackface during the idol stage performance tonight.
I don’t know if it’s because it’s the first time this year, but the director of AAA seems to have little experience. The few reaciton shots given to the actors at the beginning of Blackpink’s stage were already ugly, but they kept giving various close-ups of the actors afterwards.
The reaction shots, each idol's stage, let the audience see the noble reactions of the actors. I don't know whether they are showing off today's guest lineup, or simply trying to make the audience and fans uncomfortable.
As a result, it naturally aroused strong dissatisfaction among many fans of the group, and even many passers-by made accusations that they couldn't stand:
"I was really disgusted. Why did I feel that the actors were attending a funeral instead of watching a performance?"
"The lights are so gorgeous, the music is so loud, and the fans behind you are still screaming for support, but you still have no expression at all, as if you are afraid that if you smile, it will affect your status... Your expression management is really better than that of idols
It’s really difficult for you to be outstanding.”
"Do you have to show your nobility by maintaining a arrogant attitude and belittling other people, or even belittling an industry? The problem is that you are not very noble. There are many actors whose names I have never heard of.
There are even new actors who have just debuted, but these people have the ugliest expressions. I really can’t understand it. The combined ratings of the scenes you filmed are more than half of Yuan’s. Your combined income is one-fifth of EXO’s.
Is it much?"
"Indeed, although Yuan has achieved high achievements in his career as an actor through his acting skills, in the public's first impression, he is still an idol... but he seemed quite satisfied when he talked about it on the show.
"
"Axi, Xiba, I%￥... I'm so angry. We, Blackpink, are doing the opening performance. What kind of expression does Park Shin Hye have? She tilts her head and black face, as if she's looking at a dead person. Wuli Si Niu must have seen it very clearly, right?
It must be very sad, I feel bad when I think about it."
"Why are you just talking about Park Shin Hye? The whole row of people were obviously expressionless. Did they hear that Blackpink didn't turn on the mic...and it's not just Blackpink, including Twice, Cosmic Girls, AOA, Seventeen, and all the idols.
All the groups’ performances are like watching the dead, except for EXO.”
"Yeah, why are the actors below the only ones giving so much face when EXO is performing? Even Zhao Zhenxiong is supporting them?"
"I can answer you this. First of all, EXO's status has obviously surpassed that of ordinary idols. They have made outstanding contributions in promoting Kpop and Korean culture. Even actors must maintain the most basic respect, and
It’s Yuan. He is very well-connected in the film and television industry. Zhao Zhenxiong has collaborated with him in "Signal". Park Shin Hye is also a well-known friend of his in the industry. She is still filming with Suzy, so he must give face when he goes on stage."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Park Shin Hye is really a two-faced person who depends on what others eat. Her face was as dark as before. Wuli Bunny's expression was expressionless throughout the performance, and she didn't even bother to applaud. Here we are.
Later, as soon as EXO and Yuan came on stage, they immediately smiled like flowers, it was really disgusting!"
"Today was actually not bad. Although some people did have stiff expressions throughout the whole process, there were also outstanding actors like Yoona, Suzy, Park Bo Gum, Kim Yoo Jung, and Kim Ji Won who were cheerful throughout the process, always working hard to support, and respecting others, so
In fact, the atmosphere is not particularly cold... The stage of the Apink Grand Bell Awards in 2014 and the Girls' Generation Grand Bell Awards in 2011 were the most indifferent in history. It was really like watching a dead person... Hey, no matter what
Big Bell Award?”
"Actually, it's okay if the other actors are more aloof. After all, these people have always had such high self-esteem... What I'm most angry about are Li Zhengxin and NANA. One of them is from the band CNBLUE, and the other is also a former idol.
They used to be singers, but after transforming into actors, today AAA is actually even more indifferent than other actors who are at their best. They are afraid that others will not know that they are also actors. They are really just villains!"
"..."
After a trip, most idols would go online to read the comments about themselves afterwards, and Chi Jingyuan was no exception... But when he casually logged into the forum, he saw such a lively scene.
He is actually quite grateful for the anger of fans and the indignation of passers-by, because he is from the perspective of an idol. In fact, he is very unhappy with many actors who have high self-esteem and disrespect for others.
Just like what was said in a message I just saw, you are no better than those who have nothing. In terms of career, your combined ratings are less than half of mine. In terms of money, you don’t make as much as me. You don’t know how to be arrogant in front of me.
What...
Chi Jingyuan actually doesn't have much idea about the status in these circles. In his eyes, they are all pretty much the same, but some people just have that inexplicable sense of superiority and insist on trying to show their superiority and inferiority.
In fact, it's settled now.
This situation was the most serious in the past. When Girls' Generation participated in the Daejong Awards in 2011, they were completely ignored. At that time, SNSD was at its peak and was in the limelight. As soon as the live broadcast came out, fans became angry immediately after seeing it.
, along with passers-by who were also upset because they were disrespectful, they directly attacked the organizer and the actors. At that time, several big-name actors were scolded to pieces, and their reputation and reputation plummeted.
As a result, the next year, Girls' Generation once again appeared on the Daejong Awards stage. They still sang the same old songs as last year provocatively, but when the camera turned to the bottom, all the actors' faces were no longer stiff, and they all laughed.
, and some even sang along.
But in fact, these actors don’t really care about idols. They are just afraid that their image will decline. After all, this is an unspoken rule and social phenomenon in the peninsula. The high status of actors is due to their hard work many years ago.
, as well as the spread of Korean Wave in recent years, even if Chi Kyung-won has nothing to say about it, there is nothing he can do about it.
...Fortunately, through these years of activities, he still has some face. At least if he is forced to perform at some venues such as the Grand Bell Awards, he will not be completely ignored. He still has this confidence.
Moreover, in recent years, especially since last year, streaming media has begun to develop rapidly. At the same time, thanks to the efforts of EXO and other groups, Kpop has gradually begun to develop overseas markets, and has also attracted the attention of many brands including Europe's top luxury brands.
, the income of the leading idol in the Peninsula men's and women's group began to increase significantly.
EXO has the most say. Their share last year was more than one or two levels higher than the previous two years, and this year it will still go up to a higher level.
... The building that Wu Shixun valued the year before last and was planning to save money to buy has been abandoned, because judging from his current income, it is a little small... However, this kind of singing has no words, the stage is bordered, and he usually picks his feet.
Members who still get to share the group's income equally are really share thieves.
If this momentum continues, after EXO opens the overseas market, as the market expands deeper and deeper, the income of the top idols who follow them will also see a significant increase, and it will increase year by year.
Maybe in a few years, when the income of popular idols is much higher than that of actors of the same level, their status will naturally gradually increase.
After all, no matter how stubborn and veteran you are, your ability to attract money is more important after all.
Idou Chi Jingyuan sincerely hopes that this situation can be improved.
...At first glance, the relevant comment area is full of comments complaining about the actor's bad face, and there are also some mixed with some "Who is on the mic, who is not on the mic," Twice's style is good, "Why is Yuan wearing private clothes on stage?" and so on.
There are posts, but there are fragmentary topics, but no one really cares about the awards.
There is no real job in an award ceremony, but the popularity and various controversies are frighteningly high.
I don’t know whether the organizer should cry or laugh.
…………
"Are there any good movies to watch recently?"
Chi Jingyuan scrolled through his phone, remembering the text message Ming Jingnan sent yesterday, and asked Wu Shixun next to him.
Today is already the second day after AAA. Chi Jingyuan did not go to the set after getting up today. He went directly to the company after lunch to prepare for the final practice of the MMA stage process on the 19th.
"'Doctor Strange', I read on the news that it has been the champion for three consecutive weeks, and the box office attendance will soon exceed 5 million."
Wu Shixun didn't even check it, and responded directly with a very understanding answer.
"Does it look good?"
"It's okay, the special effects are good, not all Marvel movies are like that..."
"You and Jun Mian brother and the others went to see it?"
"Ani, I went to see it with the female ticket... What, you want to go see it with Mina?"
After answering a few words, Wu Shixun understood something and looked over: "We found a late-night venue... But don't imitate me. You and Mina will be recognized anytime you go there."
"..."
Chi Jingyuan nodded when he heard this. His nationality is indeed much higher. In addition, his girlfriend is also a popular idol, so he is definitely more conspicuous than Wu Shixun and his girlfriend outside the industry.
But Minami Ming should know this.
So what she means is...
Wu Shixun seemed to have remembered something, and added: "By the way, "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" which was just released yesterday should also be good. I think the reviews are also pretty good."
After thinking for a while, he understood. Thinking of his little girlfriend Chi Jingyuan, he smiled and said nothing more. He joked casually: "The recent releases are all Hollywood blockbusters. Kyung Soo has to compete with these movies. There must be a lot of pressure."
Bar?"
The movie "Brother" starring Do Kyung-soo will be released next week. This is his second movie as a starring role. Recently, it has a preview and a live broadcast, and he attaches great importance to various promotions.
However, several opponents at the same time seemed to be a little too powerful...
"It's quite stressful."
Wu Shixun nodded, clicked his tongue, and was not worried. Instead, he said in a strange tone: "But I can only support him with one, ah no, two movie tickets."
"Hahaha."
Chi Jingyuan couldn't help laughing.
Do Kyung-soo has appeared in several movies, and the various resources are surprisingly good. If it is still a box office hit, it would be strange that Oh Se-hun would not feel sad.
Although the dormitory line relationship is actually very good...but the relationship between people is really complicated.
"By the way, I forgot to ask before, has Chanyeol's TV series been selected..." Chi Jingyuan remembered something and just asked, but before he finished speaking, the door to the practice room was pushed open.
Agent An Chengyuan walked in. When he saw Chi Jingyuan, he waved directly: "Jingyuan, come here."
When Chi Jingyuan heard this, he immediately stood up and followed him out.
This guy had already sent him a text message just now to confirm the location, so he knew in advance that the agent was coming.
We chatted casually all the way to the office, took the coffee that An Chengyuan offered, thanked him and sat on the stool, and then heard the agent talk about business:
"...The company and the crew have already communicated the time. After the MMA, the filming of the winter special's title song "for life" will begin, the company"
An Chengyuan didn't know where he learned this habit. He took a cup of hot tea in his hand and sipped it happily for a few times before saying... If Kim Taeyeon sees this kind of behavior that is not Korean at all, he will be severely punished.
He despises him: "In order to expand the neon market next year, the MV company also invited a neon female artist to be the heroine of the MV this time."
"Who is the neon artist?" Chi Jingyuan asked curiously.
"Nanami Sakuraba is not very young but she debuted very early. She has appeared in many dramas but is not very famous... I don't know if you recognize her, but she should be in line with your aesthetics, Jingyuan. She is very beautiful.
I'll meet a female artist in two days."
An Chengyuan's expression had a hint of the greasiness of a middle-aged man... which made Chi Jingyuan feel that this female artist was not in line with his own aesthetics, but in line with this brother's.
But before he could say anything, his manager quickly changed the subject: "But this is not the point. The point is that after all the preparations for the winter album are completed, Jingyuan, your solo album will be officially started...
The preparations have actually been completed a long time ago and are just waiting for you."
"Um... But "Goblin" will be released next month. It will be filmed and broadcast at the same time. I guess I will be on the set most of the time."
Chi Jingyuan was not surprised after hearing this, but his face still looked bitter.
"There's no way, that's how the schedule is arranged. If you don't start making the album next month, the originally scheduled release date may be postponed to February next year... But there are many plans to support your solo, and follow-up
There are also arrangements for other members, and even other artists in the company, and they have to stagger their schedules with you, so we really can’t delay it any longer.”
Although An Chengyuan understood, he could only pat him on the shoulder and sighed: "I can only help you a little bit... "Goblin" should be finished in January next year, right? You can put the more time-consuming work on the album later.
, it should be easier to focus on it after the TV series is over."
"……I see."
Chi Jingyuan did not hesitate when he heard this, but nodded directly.
Just be a little bit tired if you feel tired. Of course, you can't say it's impossible for your solo.
"Have you decided on the song selection?"
"Well, I've already thought about it. I'll talk about it at the formal production meeting."
"Okay..." An Chengyuan nodded, and then took out a book of information from the folder next to him: "Then this is the invitation from KBS, asking you to be the person to hold the event on December 26 this year.
The presenter of the 'Excellence Award in the Comedy Department' of the Performing Arts Awards... The company has already taken over."
"Oh, with whom?"
It's just a trivial matter to present awards to guests. Chi Jingyuan responded and asked casually... This kind of awards are given to men and women together.
"This is Irene from red velvet. Although she has been out for a long time, Yinyin CP still has many fans. It is very popular. It would be very gimmick to appear on the same stage, so the organizer specially invited the two of you to come together.
Go and give awards..."
An Chengyuan didn't seem to understand the inside story very well, and said very naturally: "It just so happened that Irene was a regular star in a variety show on KBS this year and was a candidate for an award. She was supposed to be there... but I heard their agent said it was impossible.
Just get the prize."
"……oh"
Suddenly hearing Pei Zhuhyun's name, Chi Jingyuan was stunned for a moment, and then took a sip of coffee to make himself look more natural. He nodded lightly and said nothing more: "I understand."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "In addition to awarding awards, there is also this..."
He didn't pay much attention to the awarding guests. Then An Chengyuan talked about another invitation: "This is the key point. It's the invitation from KBS. They invite you, Jingyuan, to be the MC for the Music Festival on December 29.
But this is different from the award-winning guest. The work is relatively heavy and requires several rehearsals, so the company did not directly agree to it and wants to ask for your opinion."
After speaking, he added: "...but KBS is very willing. Last year's cooperation with "Music Bank" made them very impressed with you, and your own popularity and nationality are also a very good publicity topic.
If you become an MC, the popularity can overwhelm SBS by a lot... This year is the 20th anniversary of the launch of SBS. I heard that the end of the year song competition is very big, and these stations have to compete for it every year at this time.
of."
"MC?"
Chi Jingyuan blinked and repeated.
The 'Gayo Daeju Festival' is a song battle, just called by different names for the sake of distinction. It is an important party that the three major TV stations must hold at the end of every year. It is somewhat similar to the Spring Festival Gala of Xiaguo. The ratings and discussion are very high.
, only the most popular idol artists of the year can perform on stage, and those who can serve as MC must be popular artists with both popularity and nationality.
...For example, Yoona sunbaenim has been the MC of MBC Gayo Daejeon for many years... Although Ji Kyung-won has always felt that MBC's year-end party is the worst among the three major TV stations.
But this has nothing to do with Yoona sunbaenim.
Serving as the MC at the end of the year is a good exposure for any idol. Although Chi Jingyuan doesn't really need it, it is KBS's sincere recognition of him, and after thinking about it, he is quite interested...
...It has been so long since his debut, but he has never served as an MC at such an important party or ceremony.
Although, MC probably had to rehearse several times in advance... But at that time, he was extremely busy, and he was busy with everything, so it didn't matter.
"This is quite interesting, I have no problem with it."
Chi Jingyuan agreed without thinking for long. He took a sip of coffee and asked with a smile: "Who is my partner?"
He paused for a moment, and for some reason, asked with a little expectancy:
