Chapter 653 Noise!

"13th?"

After chatting for a long time, Chi Jingyuan suddenly heard Ming Jingnan ask this question. He paused for a moment, but was not too surprised.

Of course, he knew what Ming Jingnan meant by asking this. The 13th was his birthday. It was obvious that he wanted to meet him and give him a gift.

Another person asked this question. This was the first time he had asked this question in the past few days. In addition to Bae Joo-hyun, there were several friends, girls who knew him and even Bae Suzy who asked similar questions.

Although I have known Ming Jingnan for quite a while, we basically didn't wish each other a happy birthday before this year. But after Twice debuted, especially this year, the two of us became much more familiar with each other. In addition, Chi Jingyuan also participated in Twice's birthday surprise for this girl some time ago. At that time, I felt that Ming Jingnan was very touched. It was reasonable for him to keep it in mind and want to thank him.

However, it could be for some other reasons...

"Why, do you want to give me a gift?" Chi Jingyuan asked happily with a smile.

"Yes, I want to thank you."

"Is it really a thank you, not revenge? Do you want to organize a birthday surprise for me? Find someone to scold me or something."

"Puchi... Ha, why do you think so."

Hearing the laughter coming from the phone, Chi Jingyuan also laughed.

Because he had recalled it many times, he no longer needed to think about his schedule on the 13th, but he still paused for a moment before saying in a thoughtful tone:

"We will return on the 12th. Although there should be a lot of things to do on the 13th, if everything is done, it should be at least in the evening... Twice has been so busy recently, will you have time to come out by then?"

"Well... Although it's very busy, it's not that I can't spare any time."

Hearing the persistence in Mingjingnan's soft voice, Chi Jingyuan didn't say anything else and agreed: "If you get off work early, I'll tell you, if it's too late, forget it, the gift can be given at any time, so don't let your agent scold you."

"Okay."

"Well, then hang up first."

"Bye..."

After hanging up the phone, Chi Jingyuan put the phone aside, leaned against the head of the bed and looked at the ceiling quietly, thinking about the slightly sudden call just now.

Of course, he could see that Ming Jingnan was interested in him. It was so late, and a girl, and an idol took the initiative to call him. Especially with Ming Jingnan's personality, it was actually very obvious, not to mention that it was already very obvious when he asked for contact information last year.

He was not a pure novice. An experienced person like him could feel it from the words he said when the phone was connected.

Chi Jingyuan was not surprised at all that there were girls who liked him, because there were indeed too many girls. Not counting the fans, there were many female idols and female artists who expressed their affection for him after his debut, and even took the initiative to pursue him. He had already been used to it.

However, his desire to communicate with most people was not very high. At this time, Chi Jingyuan did not have any idea of ​​refusing. On the contrary, when he heard that Ming Jingnan wanted to meet and give gifts, he actually had some expectations.

Chi Jingyuan actually had no special feelings before, but now after tasting this idea, he suddenly felt interesting.

Why? Because she smiled beautifully?

Just as he was thinking about how to spend the few days he had on his birthday, a voice suddenly came from the side: "Who is it? Why are you calling for so long?"

Looking to the right, Wu Se-hun, who shared the same room with him, was leaning against the bed and looking at him curiously.

Except for the intimate whispers he had with his girlfriend, they rarely avoided talking to each other on normal occasions. The conversation with Ming Jingnan just now was heard by this guy who specially turned down the TV volume.

He didn't even need to ask if it was a man or a woman.

After asking, he thought about what he had just heard and muttered to himself: "Today you won the first place? That's Twice, who are you flirting with again... I said you have nothing to do to be a producer for Twice."

Chi Jingyuan was also a little helpless about this person's imagination. His being a producer for Twice had nothing to do with Ming Jingnan. It was purely because Park Jin-young strongly invited him, and he also wanted to try the feeling of being a producer for a girl group and accumulate some experience.

There are so many dirty fantasies about good things. How did his reputation become like this?

"A friend." Chi Jingyuan glanced at him and said perfunctorily.

"Ah..."

Hearing such a perfunctory answer, Wu Sehun frowned and looked at him speechlessly: "Do you believe it yourself? When I sent text messages to Irene before, I said we were friends. Everyone said we were friends..."

"It developed later. How can there be an unchanging relationship between people?"

Shaking his head, Chi Jingyuan was very natural and didn't seem to be embarrassed at all.

"If the mother is called Sachiko, it should be a member from Japan, Sana?... Forget it, it doesn't matter who it is, and I guess this is even just one of them, there are more than one person."

He didn't deny Chi Jingyuan's words. After some self-righteous guesses, Wu Shixun's expression suddenly turned strange. He looked at Chi Jingyuan and smiled playfully: "Why, you have been pretending to be a good boyfriend for several months now. Finally can’t pretend anymore? When you meet a girl you’re interested in, you finally reveal your true nature?”

"How did you see that I was interested?" Chi Jingyuan turned to look at him.

"ayi~ With your character, if you are not interested, your tone should be unfamiliar and polite. A 'good senior' may not have time to say 'thank you very much', and you should have called me a long time ago." You won’t chat for so long after hanging up. When that female model called you last time, didn’t you just hang up after just a few words?”

After being roommates for more than four years, Wu Shixun already knows Chi Jingyuan very well without being shy about many things. To some extent, from the perspective of a bystander, he may even know Chi Jingyuan better than Chi Jingyuan himself. See him more clearly.

"..." Chi Jingyuan raised his eyes and thought for two seconds, but did not deny it. He pursed his lips and nodded: "Yes."

But after agreeing, he quickly looked back unhappily: "Who told you that I was playing the role of a 'good father'? I am a good man myself..."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Before Chi Jingyuan could finish speaking, Wu Shixun laughed exaggeratedly as if he had heard some funny joke. He didn't know if it was to prove how ridiculous he was. He also used a lot of body language. After rolling around on the bed , tilted his body and slapped the bed with his hands wildly, and the muffled sound came like applause from the audience.

Chi Jingyuan looked a little unhappy for no reason.

Can you act in a movie with your exaggerated acting skills? Or play half-man, half-cat?

The entire filming was completed in less than two months, with a performance like yours. Needless to say, it's a bad movie.

After a crazy argument, Wu Shixun pretended to pat his chest, looking tired from laughing: "Miah, I suddenly want to laugh... Mainly because the word 'good boyfriend' appeared in our Everyone, especially you, seems to have a sense of comedy. You can’t tell if you don’t talk when you are on a variety show, but you have such a sense of variety show in private..."

Suddenly he felt that Chi Jingyuan's eyes were a little unkind, but he waved his hand indifferently: "How could a good man talk to a female idol alone at such a late hour... I'm interested in you as soon as I see you. As long as there is something right at the beginning If you are interested, the rest will be a matter of course. Don’t say that with your ability, you can’t handle any female idol? "

“Isn’t the word get it a little disrespectful?”

Chi Jingyuan frowned slightly and glanced at him.

"Qingjia, in addition to being good at pushing and pulling, you also attach great importance to this aspect... You are really good at it. No wonder the previous girlfriends were able to get together and get away easily." Wu Shixun's focus was obviously far away. His eyes lit up after hearing this, and he glanced at Chi Jingyuan with admiration. After he finished speaking, he raised his eyes and moved his mouth a few times, as if he was learning the way Chi Jingyuan spoke just now.

Pouring his lips, Chi Jingyuan couldn't say much to refute for the moment. He actually understood his character and behavior very well. It was true that he couldn't be called a good and dedicated father.

But on the other hand, it doesn't matter if Bae Zhuhyun thinks he is a good father.

He felt that after dating, he actually did pretty well most of the time.

"Okay, actually it's good to calm down and have a good relationship for a while. Irene is indeed pretty good..." After giving Chi Jingyuan a meal, Wu Shixun felt refreshed and became free and easy, smiling. Hehehe looked at Chi Jingyuan: "But Brother Chanyeol can have two girlfriends at the same time and balance it very well. I believe that at your level, you are definitely better than him."

"He hasn't broken up with those two people yet?"

Hearing this, Chi Jingyuan looked over curiously.

According to the news he heard some time ago, Park Chanyeol was originally dating a beautician from outside the industry. At the end of last year, he fell in love with the idol of a senior girl group and started dating the two at the same time. They talked about falling in love...and this wasn't the first time this happened.

This guy's preference is for seniors. He likes those of the opposite sex who are older than him and more plump.

"No, wasn't he still talking about being able to do things with ease two days ago?" Wu Shixun thought about it and shook his head first, then waved his hand with a very understanding look: "But you know, this brother prefers to brag. , I can’t completely believe what I said...but it must have been done well.”

After saying that, he looked at Chi Jingyuan as if he was waiting for a good show: "What about you?"

"Haha..." Chi Jingyuan looked away, reached out and took the mobile phone next to him, with a sincere and sacred expression: "I am a good father."

"Hahaha……"

Another burst of laughter came that made people want to kick him, but Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but laugh as he listened.

While he was smiling, his phone suddenly vibrated. He looked down and found that it was Zhou Ziyu who had sent a text message.

I clicked on it and found a photo. In the photo, the girl was wearing today's singing uniform, holding a trophy in her left hand, and making an old-fashioned scissor hand gesture with her right hand. She was grinning very happily.

You can tell at a glance that it’s today’s “M! A commemorative photo taken backstage after "Countdown" ended. I sent it here because I guess I wanted to chat with Chi Jingyuan and share the joy of winning the first place.

Unfortunately, Chi Jingyuan is not in a good mood now after being laughed at.

After a while, Zhou Ziyu happily sent another message: "Didn't you see that we won one today... By the way, are you free on the 13th?"

At this time in the Twice dormitory, Zhou Ziyu, who had just washed her face, was wearing a facial mask and pink pajamas, holding her dog and sitting on the edge of the bed with her back straight and girlishly.

At this time, the phone in her hand vibrated, and she quickly looked over:

"No."

It's a pity that there are only two words: cold.

Although she was wearing a facial mask, she could see that her expression suddenly changed a lot. Based on her understanding of Chi Jingyuan, this person must not be in a good mood at the moment. As a result, she happened to bump into him and took it. She vented her anger.

What are you doing!

Pouting in dissatisfaction, Zhou Ziyu put down the phone angrily and looked around. Finally, he looked down at Xi Lu in his arms, wearing eyes and sticking out his tongue. He snorted and slapped the dog on the head.

…

The event was held in Neon for three consecutive days. Although the local fans were really enthusiastic and their support and craziness were no worse than those held in the local area, holding six consecutive meetings was really tiring. After finishing the Neon tour with pain and joy, the EXO group rushed back to Seoul overnight to start making final preparations for the upcoming return of the lead song "fire".

On the 10th, SM released the second version of the concept photo for the prelude song "Fire". Unlike the first version, where the members and the flames had a left-right composition, the second version just showed nine people standing in a row, walking forward. In the two-dimensional composition, there is a blazing flame behind them. Together with the black night sky illuminated by the fire, it looks like a handsome and unrestrained man who never looks back at the explosion.

At the same time, a MV trailer of about 30 seconds was released. The chorus clip and group dance scenes exposed in the middle showed a very different style from last year, which made many fans and even passers-by express strong expectations. It was just the first time. Marching Song has achieved the level of becoming a hot search almost every time SM releases some material.

However, apart from EXO, what has attracted the most attention is actually the return of the other two people...

"Jingyuan, what are you looking at?"

At about 10 o'clock in the evening on May 10th, the nine members of EXO were resting in the practice room. They saw that Ji Jingyuan was not even participating in the chat of the members next to him. He was holding this mobile phone and looking at it with relish. Byun Baekhyun was holding it curiously. Two bottles of water came over and he handed one to him, glancing this way and asking.

Today, EXO has pre-recorded the 12th "M!" The initial stage for the comeback of "Countdown" was not built in Mnet because the required background was relatively complicated. Moreover, two or three days in advance, a venue was chosen to build the stage background in SM COEX, and then several venues were selected through a lottery. Hundreds of fans have arrived to watch the pre-recording.

On the day of the broadcast on the 12th, the live broadcast will cut directly to the recorded stage video, and EXO will only have to perform to the live audience at the scene.

This kind of initial stage pre-recorded by the company itself is actually the best, but the cost will be much higher in comparison.

"Live broadcast, Pani-senpai's return V LIVE."

Chi Jingyuan took the drink and thanked him, then replied with a slightly excited tone.

"Return to the live broadcast? Is it good to watch?" Bian Baekhyun asked doubtfully: "Isn't it just introducing the songs? I remember it was quite boring."

Chi Jingyuan smiled when he heard this, moved to the side enthusiastically to make room, and clicked his tongue in a friendly tone: "That's normal, you don't even know how exciting today is!"

In the past two days, the Kpop music industry has been the hottest, and the people receiving the most attention are actually not the popular Twice, or EXO who is about to make a comeback.

Of course, these two are very popular. It can be said that Twice has become a trend now. You can see them in various programs, interviews, and advertisements every day. Needless to say, the popularity of EXO, everyone knows the importance of the contemporary top.

Many people are curious about how high Twice can fly and how many top songs they can win. There are also many people who are looking forward to the new song Orange, which EXO, which was so brilliant last year, will come back this year. They hope to see them directly overtake the recent bad dancers. Rabbit gas, tell them what TOP is.

However, compared to the two, it is still a little less topical, or it does not bring enough fun to passers-by.

The biggest rhythm, highlights, and fun these days belong to two members and former members of Girls’ Generation, Hwang Mi Young and Jung Soo Yeon.

At the end of April, their management companies coincidentally announced that they would be making a solo comeback in May, and then a few days ago, they coincidentally announced the official release date.

Both of these people are about to return in the near future. One is the second member of Girls’ Generation to debut solo, and the other is also releasing his first solo album after leaving the group. One of them will be released on May 11th, and the other on May 17th. No., it was only one week wrong before and after, it was considered to be exactly the same time. It felt like it was calculated accurately and waiting for the other party.

Recalling the 930 incident when Jessica Jung left the group, both sides had their own opinions and quarreled. One said "Girls' Generation originally debuted as eight members" and the other said "8 others didn't notify me". This not only divided the fans but also made passers-by watch the excitement. With Jessica Jung being semi-banned by SM in the local market of the peninsula in the past two years, she has not been in the music industry for a long time.

This time, both sides suddenly announced the release of solo songs, which immediately reminded people of the wonderful things in the past. This kind of head-on collision between the current and former members, which obviously tore their faces apart and embarrassed the loser, ignited everyone's enthusiasm. While the fans of Girls' Generation were quarreling, the interest and attention of passers-by directly climbed to the highest level.

As a loyal fan of the seniors of Girls' Generation, Chi Jingyuan naturally did so. In recent days, he has been paying close attention to the development of the situation and various materials of the seniors on both sides.

This is even more true today. Jessica Jung just held her comeback live broadcast at 10pm on V LIVE, and Hwang Miyoung started at 11pm, also on V LIVE.

Someone asked: "Penny, you and Jessica released albums at the same time, how do you feel?"

Hwang Miyoung narrowed her signature smile and answered: "It would be best if everyone can succeed. Recently, many idol groups have returned as solos, and they have shed countless sweat. There are also people who have prepared longer than me."

Seeing this scene, Ji Jingyuan couldn't help but applaud in his heart.

She is really worthy of being a senior from Girls' Generation. Not only did she answer very appropriately and there was nothing wrong with it, but she also directly classified the former members into the category of "many", which really makes people admire her.

Even if it was senior Lin Yoona, it would not be more than this.

Sure enough, the success of Girls' Generation is not accidental. Ji Jingyuan and EXO still have a lot to learn.

In addition to the excellent performances of the main characters on both sides, the tearing between fans is also a feast for the eyes:

"When Jessica was in the group, she should have beaten that one, right? Huang Miying looks like a man and has a strong voice, but she likes to act coquettishly and create a sweet persona. Our Jessica is born with a sweet look and a good voice, but she doesn't care about the persona of a cute little girl. The two are not in the same league at all."

"That's right, I only say two things, 1. It doesn't matter, there is no need to compare. 2. Even if you want to compare, you can't compare."

"Summon the soul! Summon the soul... But even if she returns, can you see Jessica's stage?"

"Since she is going to release a song, why doesn't Jessica form a mixed-gender group with her soulmate? It feels much more interesting than her own solo!"

"Isn't there a Kim Taeyeon who supports Girls' Generation, which has been disbanded for a long time, don't mention me anymore, okay? I am now the president and a designer, and I am a careerist. I have already been in Next level."

"Indeed, I haven't seen him for several years. There is no such person in the music industry as last level."

"Grubbish Girls' Generation, go to hell!"

"Disgusting Jessica, get out of here!"

"What are you arguing about? Who cares about the backs of two outdated girl groups? No matter how much hype, they will still be crushed by our Xiaotian?"

It's so exciting...

Chi Jingyuan was browsing the quarreling sones on the Internet, and for a moment he didn't know which one to like.

He hasn't encountered such an interesting thing in the music industry for a long time. It feels much more interesting than their EXO's comeback.

It's just that now we can't see who will win or lose on both sides, which makes people a little anxious.

After a while, at midnight on the 11th, the audio source of Tiffany's first solo album was released. With the remaining influence of Girls' Generation and the extremely high popularity today, the title song "I Just Wanna Dance" directly landed on Melon No. 2. The outstanding airborne performance also allowed the sones to take the lead and began to cheer online.

Soon a day passed, and at midnight on the 12th, EXO's pre-release song "Fire" was officially released.
