Chapter 91 Homophonic jokes, money will be deducted
Time goes back a few hours to the special stage at the International Business District of Incheon Metropolitan City, where the 2014 Incheon Hallyu Tour Concert is being held.
"Anihasay, senior nim, we are EXO Yimeda."
"Aniha Sayyo"
In the busy backstage corridor, there were sounds of greetings coming and going. As soon as Tara's six girls sent off the EXO-K team, they met four people from KARA.
There are a lot of popular girl groups at today’s concert. In addition to Tara and Kara, there are also 4minute, Secret, etc.
Tara and Kara, who are both second-generation girl groups, are no strangers to each other. Kara's captain Park Gyu Ri and Ham Eun Jung are close friends of the same age, and they have always kept in touch in private.
Park Ji-yeon and Han Seung-yeon have a good relationship, and Goo Hara was a regular guest on "Invincible Youth" back then. Naturally, she is familiar with Park Hyo-min.
It's just that Kara focuses on the Japanese market, so we don't have many opportunities to meet each other. This time, if we can meet backstage at the concert, of course we have to say a few words.
But as they chatted, Eun-jeong gradually realized that something was wrong. For some reason, Goo Hara would look at her from time to time. That look in her eyes. Wait, EXO's Oh Se-hun seemed to have a similar look just now.
Just when Eunjing was puzzled, a neat greeting suddenly came to her ears, "Nadusa, Anita, we are Red Velvet Yimeda."
Everyone stopped talking when they heard the sound and turned to look around, only to see four girls bowing to them.
This is SM's new girl group. Members Tara and Kara are really filled with emotion, because according to the classification, the juniors in front of them are already four generations of girl groups. Time flies by so fast without even realizing it.
Generally, newcomers who just debuted would greet their seniors and then go away, fearing that they would be scolded by their seniors for being rude, but that didn't seem to be the case with the four people today.
The beautiful girl in the lead walked up to Tara and bowed again, then took out an album and a signature pen and handed them to Enjing.
"Senior Eunjung, I am Irene, the leader of Red Velvet. Our manager Oppa's relative is a fan of yours, so he asked me to ask for your autograph. Is that okay? Kang Sang Hamidah."
"Ah? Of course, thank you. Our manager Oppa's relatives support us." Eunjing was surprised and did not forget to take the pen and album, and then signed her name on the cover.
Bae Zhuhyun originally thought that Eunjung would return the album to her after signing her name, but she never thought that the other party suddenly said casually,
"Irenexi, what's the name of that fan? Let me write a few words of blessing and thanks to him."
"Nei, his name is Zhou Jing."
"Um, Moragu?"
Eun Jung was holding a pen in her hand with a face full of astonishment. She didn't think it was a coincidence that he had the same name. After all, everyone in South Korea knew about that man's relationship with SM and Girls' Generation.
But right now, this name is a taboo word in the group. Normally, as long as everyone mentions it carelessly, they will be greeted by the familiar roar of a dinosaur.
So Enjing couldn't help but look at her maknae, and as expected, Long Zaizi's expression was quite ugly, which made Enjing not know whether she should write a blessing or not.
Seeing the situation take a turn for the worse, Pei Zhuxuan was confused as to why she had just mentioned Zhou Jing's name so well. Fortunately, Han Shengyan spoke up to break the awkwardness.
"Irenexi, is the Zhou Jingxi you are talking about the national hero and Snowball's Oppa?"
"Senior Seung-yeon, that's him." Bae Zhu-hyun nodded and admitted frankly.
"Dafa, it's really him. I didn't expect him to be Eunjing's fan. I often hear Hara talking about him." Han Seungyan was obviously a little excited but accidentally sold Goo Hara.
"Ani, it's Xueqiu who keeps talking about Zhou Jingxi in front of me. In fact, I only met him once." Seeing everyone turning their attention to her, Goo Hara hurriedly explained.
So that's it. Eun Jung finally understood what was going on with Goo Hara's strange behavior just now. Thinking of the relationship between Zhou Kyung and EXO, it's no wonder that Oh Sehun was the same way.
But she still didn't know how to deal with it at the moment. Did she change her words as soon as she finished speaking? But if she were to write it, Long Zaizi's narrow eyes already showed murderous intent.
Suddenly Eunjing felt a light touch in her hand. When she came to her senses, she realized that it was Li Juli who had been silent all this time. She took the album and handed it to Bae Zhuhyun.
"Irenexi, please tell Zhou Jingxi that we will have a fan signing event at Coex Mall in Samsung-dong next weekend. He is welcome to come and support us."
"Onie." Long Zaizi couldn't help it when he heard it, but Li Juli didn't give her a chance to get angry.
"Okay, kids, it's almost time for us to go on stage. Everyone, please be at peace."
After Li Juli finished speaking, she bowed slightly and turned around to leave. Pei Zhuxuan and the others also bowed hurriedly, but Long Zaizi's irritable look left them completely confused.
Could it be that she has a grudge against Zhou Kyung Oppa? It’s impossible. Pei Zhuxuan held the album in her hands and looked at Tara walking away, and everyone was filled with doubts.
"Signing session, next weekend?" Zhou Jing was stunned after hearing what Pei Zhuhyun said.
It is said that he has never participated in similar offline activities, but calculating the time, Yang Xiaoxiao and Yan Jiayi should be in Seoul by then, and they can just take them to see it together.
"Joohyun, Kumawa, I also wish you Ledebei to become a big trend soon." Zhou Jing raised his glass to toast to Bae Zhuhyun, and at the same time deliberately called out their Korean-English group name.
This time Sun Shengwan refused. She immediately wanted to correct Zhou Jing's wrong pronunciation, but...
"Oppa, it's Red Velvet."
"Okay, Ledbebe."
"Hey Yigu, it's Red Velvet."
"maza, ledebebe."
"Forget it, let's just be Ledbeibei."
Sun Shengwan rolled his eyes to express surrender, while Zhou Jing drank a small drink with a smile. Their interaction made Lin Xuanjun and Bae Zhuhyun almost laugh out loud.
At this time, Lin Xuanjun noticed that Zhou Jing put down his chopsticks and started drinking instead of eating, so he took out a few pieces of paper from his bag and handed them to Zhou Jing.
"Brother Zhou Jing, let's get back to the topic. I'm talking to you today about the program. The recording time has been set. This Sunday afternoon, the broadcast time will be next Wednesday, the 24th."
"This is the preliminary process and question outline written by the writers of the program. Please read it first. If you are not satisfied with anything, I can communicate with the other party. However, there are only three days left before the official recording, so I am in a hurry.
Looking for you."
"Thank you for your hard work, Xuanjun, come on, eat more mutton to replenish your appetite. Hey, where's the cabbage?" Zhou Jing took the pieces of paper and gave Lin Xuanjun a large piece of mutton.
"Oppa, you called me?" Pei Zhuxuan raised her head with question marks written all over her face.
Zhou Jing was a little confused now, but Sun Shengwan understood what happened instantly. His face turned red but he didn't dare to laugh out loud, just because Pei Zhuxuan was staring at her with cold eyes after reacting.
Zhou Jing thought for a while and finally understood what was going on. It turned out that the pronunciations of "baicai" and "Baizhu" in Korean were very close, which made Pei Zhuxuan inattentive and heard the mistake.
"I'm going to win, this kid's laugh point is a bit low, and the homophonic jokes will cost you money." Zhou Jing said angrily while looking at the planning plan of the program team.
"What? Why do you want to deduct money? What's the point?" Sun Shengwan asked in confusion. In her opinion, this was funny, but she didn't dare to laugh in front of the powerful captain.
"The rules of Chinese talk shows happen to be that my show is a talk show." Zhou Jingyang explained while raising the paper in his hand.
When Sun Shengwan heard this, his interest immediately increased. He quickly put down his chopsticks and leaned his head over to watch with Zhou Jing, but this move seemed too intimate.
"Stop, Shengwan, you are so close with the smell of hot pot hitting your face. Have you ever considered how my nose feels?" Before Lin Xuanjun could say anything, Zhou Jing directly handed the paper to Sun Shengwan, and at the same time moved it aside in disgust.
Give in, give in,
"You can take it and read it. I've finished reading it. Xuanjun, if there's no problem, just leave it as it is."
"No, brother, you are looking too fast. We'd better be more careful." Lin Xuanjun was shocked. Only a few minutes later, Zhou Jing was already optimistic about making a decision.
"I read it very carefully, but you still have to read these few words for a long time? Do you know how many documents I have to review every day? If I don't speed up, I don't have to sleep." Zhou Jing curled his lips and said indifferently.
Well, it's really like a mountain. Lin Xuanjun couldn't do it anyway. In fact, he didn't know that Zhou Jing had received unconscious memory training when he was in the service. Now this speed is considered a step back.
At this time, Son Seung-wan suddenly frowned, and Bae Zhu-hyun, who was also watching next to him, also changed his face. Finally, Son Seung-wan asked Zhou Jing slightly uneasily:
"Oppa, these are very serious questions. Do you want to reconsider them?"
Bae Zhuhyun also nodded in agreement. Fortunately, she was just a foil. If similar questions were asked to her, she would probably not want to record the show.
However, Zhou Jing didn't care very much. He took a sip of wine and said with a relaxed expression: "There is no need. Some things will inevitably be muttered behind your back if you don't tell them face to face. Let's just let everyone talk about it."
"Yes, but here I ask you whether you are dating someone, how do you plan to answer?" Sun Shengwan still had a trace of worry on his face.
"Haha. I'm not an idol artist, so just say yes."
"That's true, but if you ask who the person you are dating is? You won't tell Krystal, right?"
"You think I'm stupid, I can't say a word."
"Well, Oppa, but it's a bit too blunt. Why don't you ask a rhetorical question, what do they think the person you are dating will be like, maza. This will naturally lead to the ideal World Cup."
"It makes sense, let me think about it."
"Also, I feel that Ernie should take over the topic here, and even directly ask to be included in the selection of ideal candidates, so that the weight of the lens will be guaranteed."
The two of them were talking about the program, and Bae Zhuhyun couldn't get a word in, while Lin Xuankyun looked at them with interest and said nothing.
Suddenly Zhou Jing turned to Lin Xuanjun and said smoothly: "Xuanjun, this kid has a strong sense of variety show, why not let her appear on the show with us."
