"...We really didn't expect to win the grand prize. Just now, so did I..."
"Congratulations, Mina-chan, a member of the girl group Twice, who won the Grand Prize~"
"Haha... seeing that we won the prize... are you a little bit disappointed, Yuan-chan?"
"Yeah, I'm so angry. You don't even know how other people complained about me."
"Hehe~"
"...By the way, I called you when the seniors of the Crystal Boys were performing. Did you hear it...I saw that you were the only ones who didn't stand up. I felt something was wrong and it made me anxious."
The empty and narrow stairwell was a little quieter than the bustling backstage. Najing Nan clung to her boyfriend's body, holding his hand, and whispered with some concern, remembering the situation at the party just now.
At this time, it had been almost half an hour since the MMA ended. I accepted the interview and completed the finishing work. After changing into private clothes, nothing happened, because I felt some urgent emotions from my little girlfriend in the text message, and it was also because of her tears on the stage.
The startling glimpse made her heart feel a little itchy. Before leaving, Chi Jingyuan found a chance to go to the bathroom and made an appointment with Mingnan to secretly meet in the stairwell.
Minami Minami's fair face was flushed, and her eyes with black eyeliner were also red. There was still some aftertaste of tears after she had just won an award, but her eyes were shining brightly. She was wearing a delicate sweater.
The whole person looks extremely watery.
"Well, I didn't hear it...but I felt it then."
While organizing a verbal reply, he admired his little girlfriend in front of him.
Looking at Mingjing Nan's delicate appearance, Chi Jingyuan's fingers gently scratched her cheeks. As the fingertips passed by, the white and tender skin under a layer of thin transparent fuzz was visible to the naked eye.
A trace of redness appeared, and wherever Chi Jingyuan touched it, it began to change color. After two or three touches, even the untouched earlobes began to turn slightly red.
"It's itchy~ Stop it, I'm going back soon."
Najing Nan gently moved his face away and resisted a little, then glanced at him with a watery look in his eyes, still concerned about what just happened: "What's going on?"
"I guess someone is causing trouble. The company is already dealing with it... Don't worry, it'll be fine."
"That's good."
Hearing what her boyfriend said, Mingjing Nan didn't ask any more questions, slightly pouted her upper lip, raised her head and looked at Chi Jingyuan without blinking.
I had just won a grand prize in MMA, and later I saw EXO’s shocking stage. I already had a lot of things to say to him. Although the time was short at this time, it was not enough to express all my feelings, but we were able to be together at such a close distance.
Just looking at him makes me happy.
Immediately afterwards, Mingnan remembered something that had been on his mind these past few days... that was, there were less than four days left for the anniversary.
Although she actually felt relieved after knowing that Chi Jingyuan had forgotten, she still had a small expectation in her heart as the time approached.
Pursing her red lips, Xiaonan carefully asked tentatively: "By the way, in a few days..."
Just as he opened his mouth, a coughing sound suddenly came from outside.
Her voice stopped suddenly, and the two of them paused, looked at each other, and shrugged helplessly.
It was the watchman who gave the signal, and it was probably almost time.
Halfway through what he said, his mouth was blocked, and the things he really wanted to ask were not asked. Mingjing Nan felt a little bored and pouted unconsciously.
Looking at the cute little girlfriend in front of him, Chi Jingyuan, who had been feeling itchy before, raised his eyebrows, hugged Mingjing Nan in his arms, lowered his head and pressed directly towards her pouted upper lip, with the tip of his mouth
The little mole on his face was kept in his mouth.
It's fragrant and soft, and the lipstick has a slightly sticky feel to it. Together with the small bumps you feel when your tongue tip sweeps over the mole, it gives you a different kind of stimulating feeling.
However, because the location was wrong and a warning had been given outside, Chi Jingyuan just took a quick look and kissed her for two seconds before he took the initiative to let go of her. Looking at his little girlfriend, whose face was red and whose body was obviously softening, Chi Jingyuan squinted.
With a smile on her face, she took the initiative to help her straighten her hanging bangs.
"Disgusting~"
While Chi Jingyuan was stroking his hair, Mingjing Nan pouted and patted him lightly with some dissatisfaction. He didn't know whether he was complaining about kissing her suddenly...or complaining about the short kiss.
"Okay, let's go back first and talk about it in the evening."
"I still need to go to the bathroom... My makeup is a bit messed up~"
"It's on my mouth...do you want me to patch it up for you?"
"Hmph~"
Communicating in a low voice, the two walked out of the stairwell one after another. As soon as they opened the door and came out, Chi Jingyuan saw him standing against the wall with his arms crossed, communicating with Sun Caiying beside him, and looking over at him with a speechless expression.
Wu Shixun.
That cough just now was his voice.
Chi Jingyuan pursed his lips at him, and then looked at Sun Caiying next to him.
The two of them went on secret dates with their wingmen. Ji Jingyuan was naturally Oh Se-hun, while Nai Minami did not bring Minozaki Saka with him this time, but instead brought Sun Chaeyoung out for the first time... But it is not surprising, Chi Jingyuan
Yuan knew that she and this little girl were very close in the team.
Sun Caiying is very interesting. It seems that this is the first time that she was brought out by her own brother to help with sentry. She feels a special sense of mission in her heart. She stands upright like a tall and tall pine tree, with twinkling eyebrows and eyes like a real sentry special soldier.
His alert look looked very funny.
And when Chi Jingyuan looked over, the little girl smiled again, grinning and showing her small gap teeth in a very close manner to him. She looked really cute, and Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but laugh.
I couldn't help but feel a sense of intimacy in my heart.
He nodded and smiled at Sun Caiying, exchanged a look with Mingjing Nan, and then the two groups said goodbye. Together with Wu Shixun, who also waved goodbye, the two returned to the lounge.
When I returned to the lounge, some members like Park Chanyeol and Kim Jong-in did not come back, but everyone else had packed up their things and was almost ready to leave. When they saw Chi Jingyuan and Wu Sehun coming back, they didn’t ask any more questions and were chatting with them.
Jin Junmyeon, who was chatting with Baekhyun and others, waved:
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Oh, I'm back... We were just talking about the artist banquet. Baekhyun was still asking, saying that we didn't feel anything was wrong at the time. Jingyuan, are you?
Why do you see all the idols behind you standing up?"
"Forehead……"
Unexpectedly, this question was asked suddenly. Feeling the curious eyes of several brothers, Chi Jingyuan chuckled: "I just heard some movement behind me, so I looked back."
...Of course he wouldn't say that Lin Nalian deliberately reminded him later, and that he was just asking for trouble.
"Tsk, aren't you usually distracted at times like this, but you actually feel it this time?" Bian Baoxian glanced at him in surprise: "You are so lucky, if it weren't for you, we would definitely be scolded later...
…This is Lady Luck taking care of us.”
"Haha... I hope so."
"...By the way, we have just discussed that we are going to have a dinner together to celebrate. Jingyuan, are you going?" Jin Junmian thought of something and then asked;
"..." Chi Jingyuan and Wu Shixun looked at each other and nodded without thinking much: "If everyone goes... of course, it's just a treat?"
He actually planned to go back to bed early...but if everyone went there, he wouldn't be out of place.
"Of course~" Jin Junmian patted his chest, the captain's posture was very stable.
After a while, everyone else came back. Everyone packed up their things and prepared to leave. Coincidentally, after walking out of the lounge, they met Red Velvet who was also preparing to leave. The familiar seniors from the same company simply went together.
Underground Parking Lot.
Chi Jingyuan immediately saw Bae Zhuhyun who was following Son Seungwan. The cute pink sailor outfit on the stage had been replaced by a large down jacket that was stretched to her knees. She was already a little afraid of the cold and her whole body was buried in the high ceiling.
Only half of her face was exposed from her collar.
Speaking of which... Chi Jingyuan remembered that Mingjing Nan seemed to be afraid of the cold too.
The young lady saw him at a glance, but Chi Jingyuan didn't say anything. He just smiled and nodded and said hello, and then walked directly behind Jiang Seulqi side by side, chatting about other things.
And Pei Zhuhyun didn't know if she knew that she would cooperate with Chi Jingyuan at the end of the year, so she just smiled and tilted her head.
"Are you going to have a dinner later? Where are you going to eat?"
"I don't know. At times like this, Brother Junmian usually chooses the place and just follows him."
"I'm envious... We have to go back to the company to practice on stage later."
"What do female idols eat? Ice cubes are enough."
"Go to hell!...Bye."
"See you."
The two groups of people arrived at the underground parking lot together. Chi Jingyuan and Jiang Seulqi said a few final words before waving goodbye to each other. Just as Chi Jingyuan was about to step into XO's nanny car, another group of people suddenly walked over in front of them. Okay.
Coincidentally, it is Twice.
Everyone there also saw EXO who was about to get in the car, and their eyes turned towards them, but they were far away and did not say hello.
Chi Jingyuan glanced at Zhou Ziyu and Ming Jingnan, then waved to Twice and others and prepared to get in the car. However, when he turned his head, he suddenly noticed Lin Nalian's gaze again, and the two of them looked at each other.
together.
Thinking of the anxious 'ah' from before, Chi Jingyuan hesitated for a moment, then pursed his lips, and nodded slightly to her under the gaze of Tu Ya'er with his big eyes blinking.
…………
If EXO is having a meal with three or four people, they may find a more upscale place to taste the food. But if the whole team is out, they will usually choose a hot pot restaurant or a barbecue restaurant with a better atmosphere and a more casual atmosphere.
It's lively and relaxing, and the place is big.
Obviously, everyone has been tired recently, and they are very happy to have won the grand prize today. The smoke of charcoal fire and cigarettes was lingering in the private room of the barbecue restaurant. A group of people were eating and chatting with shiny faces. Park Chanyeol and Kim Jong-in drank some wine and were excited.
Talking about gossip in various circles.
"...Are you still chasing Sana, Kai? I don't see much communication with you at night, not even eye contact."
"Uh, still, still..."
"Brother, when did you hear this news? Sana looked at Easy and was surprised by the iron wall as soon as he got into it. He didn't get any benefits from others... Now he is having a fierce fight with EXID's Huilin.
"
"Tsk tsk, Huilin xi... But didn't Hani just break up? That sister looks tsk tsk, really charming... Why doesn't Jongin give it a try?"
"Do you think he is Jingyuan? Who do you want to date?"
"Then you are wrong. Jingyuan doesn't want to pick up anyone. He is the opposite of Chanyeol. He only picks up people with small breasts."
"Didn't I tell you everything...forget it, go to hell!!"
"Hahahaha... But Jingyuan's vision is really good. I couldn't tell it last year. This year... especially this time when "TT" returned to Mina xi, it was really eye-catching. When Twice performed on stage tonight, I
I heard the seventeen kids behind me discussing her appearance."
"...So Seolhyun is really being disrespectful? Chanyeol, how do you know?"
"ZICO said it himself when we had dinner together last time. They have actually been together since the beginning of the year. Originally, ZICO just wanted to have an affair. He likes people with rounder legs and a little plump figure. Seolhyun's figure, tsk tsk,
So I started to want to be a one night friend...but it seems that Seolhyun took it seriously later."
"I said that their company issued that kind of statement... but it's a bit... to show off such a thing..."
"Rappers are like this. They get together in private and talk about everything when they get high. This kind of thing is the last way to show off... I heard that he seems to have fallen in love with a new female idol in the past two days...
…”
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Chi Jingyuan was browsing the phone while listening to the gossip with relish. Many things in the circle are really exciting... He is actually a little curious about other things.
How people discuss him when they get together in private.
At this moment, Wu Shixun next to him reached out and patted him. When Chi Jingyuan looked at him curiously, he looked at his phone and said, "Blackpink's Chaeyoung xi asked me for your contact information and said yes
Jennie xi, do you want...give it to her?"
"Well……"
Chi Jingyuan thought for a while and shook his head: "Give it to her."
Although Jin Zhini is obviously interested in him and came with a purpose...it's just a contact method, it doesn't matter.
"Hmm..." Wu Shixun nodded and quickly tapped the screen of his phone to communicate with Park Caiying.
They were really efficient. Chi Jingyuan received a text message from Jin Zhini in less than two minutes.
"Oppa, I'm Jennie~"
The text is short, and a picture of a very cute cat saying hello is attached at the end. When you think of her face, it’s actually hard to feel bad.
"(Penguin waving)." Chi Jingyuan happened to be in a hurry and was in the middle of the intermission, so he directly replied to her: "Very cute expression~"
"Hey... Oppa, can you add kakaoTalk?"
"Okay, my account number is..."
After casually sending a few text messages to Jin Zhini, Chi Jingyuan said he was eating and ended the conversation temporarily. However, he did not put down his phone and continued to browse the news as if he was waiting for something.
He was actually waiting for Zhou Ziyu's text message... He could clearly feel the girl's happiness from the way they looked at each other when Twice went on stage to receive the award tonight. Based on his understanding of this little brat, he would most likely take the initiative to send her a text message tonight.
.
But... he seemed to have predicted it wrong again.
"What are you looking at?" Wu Shixun, who was standing next to him, came over and asked curiously, as if he noticed that he had been looking at his mobile phone.
"Look at the evaluation of MMA tonight."
"Does it look good?"
"Of course, they are all noisy."
…
At this time, the live broadcast of MMA has ended for nearly three hours. As the first large-scale Kpop award ceremony at the end of this year, it has naturally attracted the attention of all Kpop enthusiasts and fans. At this time, various comments and messages on the Internet have been
Can't get past it.
The highlight of tonight's MMA is that the stages are all exciting, including Ikon, GFriend, seventeen, Twice, red velvet and even Crystal Boy and EXO. All the idols' stages are carefully prepared. They are not ordinary standard stages, with many special additions.
The choreography and segments gave the audience a big surprise.
Crystal Boy's comeback was touching, and EXO's final hit song medley also received great praise.
In addition, there are quite a few wonderful shots among the numerous reaciton shots in the audience, especially several close-ups of Chi Jingyuan, reaciton’s playful little blisters on the 10CM stage, and the person who tilted his head and adjusted his headset when receiving the award.
The two shots instantly became classics in the hearts of countless people. Even passers-by were amazed by the famous scene after seeing it. It is foreseeable that these two shots will appear in large numbers in various edited videos in a very short period of time.
But this is the only advantage left. What MMA gained the most tonight was actually controversy.
Very controversial.
First of all, the song of the year was given to Twice, which made many radical fans of EXO feel dissatisfied and felt that their award was stolen. They angrily complained that the organizers shared the pork and JYP was operating behind closed doors.
The photos of Ai Li's live black-lit meal were also posted online. Once they saw it, they immediately felt that their T-boys were being bullied. Because the number of teams has increased significantly recently, and their confidence increased, they started to quarrel with Ai Li directly on the Internet.
Although they were completely defeated within a few rounds... but compared to before, they were at least beginning to resist.
However, most passers-by, and even a lot of sensible Ellie, actually think that there is nothing wrong with Twice winning the grand award, so the controversy only stayed with fans venting their anger and fighting each other, and the influence did not spread.
Compared with this, the real negative impact began to spread, and the biggest controversy was actually the Newcomer Award.
The MMA Newcomer Award has two major components, one is voting, and the other is the accumulation of music sources in the debut year.
In these two public data, I.O.I is obviously higher than Blakcpink, especially in terms of voting. In the final list before the deadline, I.O.I got 49% of the votes, while Blackpink got 14%. The former got nearly half of the votes.
Data crushed the latter in several areas.
MMA's Newcomer Award voting is all real-name voting that requires a Peninsula mobile phone number and ID card. It is difficult for overseas people to participate, so it is very valuable and is very convincing in reflecting local popularity and nationality.
As for the second data source, it is as ironic as a black and white comedy. When MMA first announced the rules, the score of the sound source was selected as 'accumulation of sound sources in the debut year'.
But if you calculate it this way, I.O.I still beats Blackpink...the two most important data are completely defeated. There is no reason why I.O.I can't win the Newcomer Award, which leads to more and more controversy.
So here's the fun part. Seeing that there was such a big debate online, the organizers of MMA quickly issued an announcement in the evening, slapped themselves in the face, and changed the selection rules overnight, changing the 'accumulation of sound sources in the debut year' to 'accumulation of debut song sources'
.
However, even if the rules are changed, according to the new rules, the Rookie Award should not be given to Blackpink, but to the blushing Adolescence...
But at this point, I.O.I finally couldn't beat Blackpink. Their debut song hit Twice's "Cheer Up", and its popularity and various data were severely suppressed. It was not as good as Blackpink's monster rookie debut song.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!...So after a roundabout way, to put it bluntly, it is all thanks to Rabbit Gas.
Then various secret news broke out, such as I.O.I's rehearsal being scheduled at two o'clock in the morning, the organizer did not prepare a waiting room, did not arrange a red carpet, and did not arrange artist seats in the entire venue. In the opening introduction video, I.O.I's
The photo was taken in black and white, and among all the participating singers tonight, he was the only artist who did not receive any awards.
The targeting and exclusion are already written on his face.
This made I.O.I fans very angry. They were also cursing the organizers of MMA and quarreling with fans of Blackpink.
"Compared to MMA, which is about sharing pork, Blackpink fans are more hateful. They act like they are superior to others because they come from a big company like YG. They pretend to be very professional and know how to say that their own music is more advanced. Where are those nightclub-style songs that are more advanced?
I can’t explain clearly, and then I look down on other idols and say that others are just talking about others. It’s really the most arrogant and shameless thing ever.”
"Some Blackpink fans are really invincible. They only see what they want to see. After arguing for a long time, everyone finally showed the real data and started talking about musicality. Then the musicality couldn't be said, so they just talked about trophies.
With it in hand, what can you do..."
In addition to the quarrels between fans, some people have even posted posts saying that they are collecting evidence and preparing to formally sue MMA for voting fraud.
Although it is probably of no use... but as a fan, this is also a powerful channel to complain and resist to those behind the scenes.
Chi Jingyuan has been browsing these online controversies and quarrels since just now. While he finds them exciting, in addition to sighing about I.O.I's situation, he also feels a little uncomfortable with the behavior of the MMA organizer.
There is actually nothing wrong with MMA dividing pork. Most of the awards at Peninsula Awards Ceremony are divided into pork. MAMA is even more famous for dividing pork. Company activities and operations do play a big role. Idol groups who come from big companies are inherently good at awards.
There is a huge advantage. As a vested interest, EXO is actually not easy to say anything.
But the most unpleasant thing about MMA this time is not the division of prizes, but the conflicts between the companies behind them. Because behind the I.O.I members, they are small companies unable to resist, and because they are about to be disbanded, they are so naked.
to bully a girl group.
The food looks so ugly, it is indeed a bit disdainful.
In addition to these, there are also many other hot topics, such as 'Blackpink's only stage pre-recording', 'Jennie wearing GUCCI stage clothes was dubbed the world's Gucci by fans', 'Park Jihyo's broken voice, Twice's car accident scene', 'Crystal Boy and fans for sixteen years'
'Reunion' is also a catchy hit with these popular tags.
An MMA event caused a storm in the music industry.
…………
Early the next morning, Chi Jingyuan followed several members to the wild areas in the southern suburbs of Seoul... which was also the filming location for their winter album's title song "for life".
Not all members of EXO will participate in the filming of this MV, because every member of EXO has a very busy schedule and cannot get together. Even Wu Sehun has been busy recently, so after asking about the time slot, only Ji Jing was confirmed at the beginning.
Yuan and Kim Junmyeon shot this MV.
Chi Jingyuan actually didn't have time, but he was specially designated by the company to come, and Jin Junmian happened to be able to spare his schedule in these two days.
...It can also be seen from this that the company really doesn't pay much attention to this winter specialization. It is far less serious than last year when it was both a concept and a double title. It is almost completely treated as a gift zone.
It's interesting. When the first version of the two-person version of the MV was planned, and after meeting with the co-photographer Nanami Sakuraba in the company, Park Chanyeol suddenly said that he also wanted to shoot, and he could also squeeze in time.
... He said he was free, but Chi Jingyuan always felt that this brother had an idea after meeting Nanami Sakuraba, and he came here for the heroine.
But he said so, OK, add him, and the planning department came up with a three-person version of the shooting plan.
Then Kai said he also wanted to shoot...
(*~︿~)
Okay, add more, but some big-headed planning departments specifically asked all EXO people again, and after confirming that no one was added, they finally came up with the final version of the four-person shooting.
This is also the version that Chi Jingyuan and the others are filming at this time.
"so cold……"
Chi Jingyuan was wearing a coat, holding a warm baby in his hand, and was still shivering.
The temperature has been extremely low recently, and the location where the MV was filmed was in the suburbs. The sun hadn't come out yet, so he felt a thorough chill when he walked to this station.
Fortunately, there are thermal equipment prepared by the assistant, and there are also beautiful girls who are more eye-catching.
"Ariado~"
Chi Jingyuan smiled and said hello to Nanami Sakuraba who came over, and the other party nodded with a smile.
The company is really good at selecting people. When Chi Jingyuan looked at the photos before, he actually thought Nanami Sakuraba was pretty average, but he changed his mind as soon as he met her in person. She is much prettier in person than in the photos, especially after going through SM.
CODY dressed up carefully and her temperament came up. She looked really good.
... Chi Jingyuan felt that his temperament was a bit similar to that of Nai Minami. After seeing Nanami's makeup photos, he suddenly felt that this MV protagonist would be quite suitable if Xiaonan was to shoot it, and she would definitely do well in the photo.
nice.
But after thinking about it, I decided to forget it. He and Xiao Nan will collaborate on other songs in the future. If they collaborate too much, it will make fans suspicious.
As the most proficient Japanese member in the group, he has been communicating with each other from the first time they met, and this time was no exception. Chi Jingyuan held Nuan Baobao and chatted with the MV heroine standing next to the camera, but most of them
It was a polite exchange and nothing else was said.
However, just after Chi Jingyuan said a few words, he was called away by the MV director. After listening to the PD to talk about a few key points of today's shooting, he was about to return to his previous position. After walking a few steps, he looked up and found Park Chanyeol.
I don't know when my brother took his place, standing next to Sakuraba Nanami, talking and laughing, and kept making gestures, making people laugh non-stop.
No, why is this guy so fluent in Japanese?
Chi Jingyuan was surprised, and at the same time curled his lips with great disdain. He didn't go any further and just found a stool nearby and sat down.
Forget it, he already has a girlfriend.
...It seems that this brother is also here.
…
The MV for "for life" was shot for two days in total. Chi Jingyuan, who had been freezing in the suburbs for two days, finally returned to Seoul. However, he was not idle after coming back. He came to the company at noon on the 23rd. First, he
I packed up the materials in the music room and then went straight to the conference room.
After the winter album is completed, the planning of his solo album will officially begin, and this time it will be an extremely important production meeting.
