Two young men and women holding hands rushed out of the girls' generation standby room backstage of the music center, if it was an ordinary artist, who was rampage in the background, he would have been scolded and blamed by the staff a long time ago, but when the staff of the TV station saw who the person who rushed out, not only did not step forward to stop it, but also got out of the way, stood in the not spacious aisle and bowed to the people.

In the Korean entertainment industry, the rights in the hands of TV station staff are generally relatively high, at least much higher than those newcomers who have just debuted, and the status of small artists who are half red and not black. Even some seniors who have debuted for many years but lack exposure will often be pointed at by the staff during the recording of the show, which is already a common thing.

South Korea is such a hierarchical country, and the hierarchy between seniors and seniors, the hierarchy between men and women, the hierarchy between superiors and subordinates, and the differences between status and status will be reflected in different classes in Korea. Especially in the entertainment industry, it may be just a small mistake that will lead to ruining an artist's future, so artists pay great attention to etiquette, pay great attention to the distinction of ranks, and never do things that are not in line with their status.

Zixi's identity is there, not to mention the superstar status of the world that has been boasted by the media, TCEngineering, ConstellationEntertainment, J.TuneEntertainment (and Rain's joint venture acquisition of STARM in 07, renamed a new entertainment economic company, in which Zixi serves as a director), S.M. The directors of Entertainment's four powerful agent companies in South Korea, as well as the chairman of SBS TV, these identities, looking at the entire Korean entertainment industry, who dares not to give him face? Even if Zixi has always threatened that he is a director who doesn't care about things and gets his salary for nothing, no one dares to take it lightly.

After running with Jessica for a while, he finally stopped in front of the stage, and just met Lee Min-woo who had returned from a rehearsal on the stage, and he was also one of the artists performing at the music center today.

"Zixi! Jessica！ You're rehearsing too? Li Minyu stopped in front of the two, looked at Zixi's little hand that had been holding Jessica, and said with a smile: "What are you doing, are you dating?" ”

"Ugh!" Li Minyu didn't say it, Zixi didn't care for a while, he didn't let go of Jessica's hand before, and now when Li Minyu said this, Zixi and Jessica looked at each other, and they couldn't help but dodge, and their hands were also released.

"Brother Minyu, are you going to come to the stage of the music center alone today?" Zixi didn't want to explain more about her relationship with Jessica, so she diverted the topic and asked, "Aren't the other brothers there?" ”

"Eric and Kim are still in the army, and everyone else has their own itineraries." Li Minyu said very calmly, without the artist's fear of military service at all, "Junjin will also enlist in the army at the end of this year, and I will also enlist in the army at the beginning of next year, I really envy you for not having to serve in the military." ”

Indeed, all the members of the Mythical Composition are in their thirties, which can no longer avoid the arrival of military service. Among them, Comet Shin was the only one, because he had been injured in the leg and was judged to be a third-degree disability, so the Military Service Department exempted him from military service. It can be said that starting this year, the remaining five members of the Mythical Group will enter the service one after another, and their development period will usher in a blank area.

Two years of military service is not too much, and it is not too much to say less, but in South Korea, a country where the replacement of artists is faster than Samsung's replacement of mobile phones, the number of fans is limited, and the popularity can easily decline rapidly as the artist's exposure and photogenic rate decrease. Many artists may be popular and smash hits before their military service. But after two years of military service, apart from some die-hard fans, how easy is it to make up for the two-year gap?

It took Kim Jong Kook more than a year to attend various variety shows to increase his exposure and photogenic rate, which saved his popularity. With the golden period of variety shows, Kim Jong Kook's approach is the best choice for the vast majority of Korean artists now. People like Zixi who don't have to serve in the military in South Korea are naturally what countless artists yearn for. But the need to change nationality is probably a problem that is more serious than avoiding military service.

"Hey, hey! Brother Minyu, you better enjoy yourself in the barracks! ”

"Yikes! Won't you comfort me a few words? "Li Minyu is extremely unhappy with Zixi's down-and-earth behavior.

"Zixi, Jessicaxi, you can go on stage to rehearse now." A director wearing a headset shouted at Zixi in the aisle.

"Brother Minyu! Before you enter the service, let's get together. When you leave the barracks on vacation, if I am in Korea, I will treat you to a barbecue dinner. Waving goodbye to Lee Min-woo, Zixi came to the back of the stage.

“OPPA！ Isn't it nervous. Jessica stood beside Zixi, keeping an eye on his every move. Seeing Zixi's eyes staring at the stage not far ahead, his hands clenched into fists, he was nervous at first glance.

"Whew" exhales vigorously and tries to calm your mood down. Zixi is really nervous, this is his first public performance stage, or performing his weakest singing, it is impossible not to be nervous. Even if he doesn't care about the identity of this singer in the ballad industry at all, but in the face of the audience and the fans who come to support him, Zixi just wants to present his best and most perfect side in front of them.

“OPPA！ You just think it's a regular practice, don't look at the audience, just sing at your own level. Jessica held Zixi's hand and comforted, "On our first stage, everyone was very nervous and worried, afraid that their mistake would affect the whole group. Two years have passed, and looking back now, we are really lucky. Because OPPA was there to support and encourage us at that time. We all know that as long as OPPA is there, it will definitely shelter us from the wind and rain. Now it's OPPA's turn, and I'll be your side to rely on, and we'll work together to bring the best performances to the audience. ”

"Xie Lu Shesika!" Zixi gently hugged Jessica into her arms, patted her back gently, and whispered, "It's also my luck to know you." ”

"Hmm!" Jessica snuggled into Zixi's arms, her cheeks flushed. Listening to Zixi's heartbeat, as well as his own heartbeat, the frequencies of the two hearts slowly merged together.

Although the music center is not like the music bank and popular songs, there are singers on the charts, as a pure performance stage, there is no fierce competition, and the mood between singers is undoubtedly a lot easier. Fans who have come to the present also have this mentality to watch the most exciting stage of their idols.

Zixi stepped on the stage, and the lights on the stage were very bright, so that the moment he stood on the stage, his eyes were cloudy, and he couldn't see the audience in the audience below. I could only vaguely guess from the shouts and the shouting of his name that there must be a lot of audience members, who were waiting for their performance below.

"It's cold, it's cold, it's cold; I feel that my teeth are cold, cold, cold, The heart is very cold, cold noodles, cold noodles, cold noodles; Look at you and look at you again; The cold body is trembling, the cold face is cold, the face is cold; Very hard and tough cold noodles cold noodles cold noodles ...... "relaxed and bright tunes, funny and interesting dances, Zixi and Jessica cooperate tacitly, and the hot flashes of the music center studio, all of a sudden it seems to be washed away by the cool and light of "cold noodles", and people become cooler.

Many singers only have one chance to rehearse, so that they can get used to the stage lighting and live positioning, so as not to make mistakes when it comes to official recording. Zixi and Jessica were given 10 minutes of rehearsal time, which is far more than many of their predecessors, so they had plenty of time to adjust the different shots they faced according to the requirements of the PD on the spot.

The music of "cold noodles" sounded again, the lyrics of this song are easy to understand, after singing it once, many viewers at the scene can already sing along, and many audience fans have learned the action of turning two fingers into chopsticks to eat ramen. Even when Zixi and Jessica were rehearsing, they received a lot of applause and cheers.

Hearing the cheers and applause from the audience, Zixi and Jessica bowed hand in hand and left the stage. Jessica looked up and saw Zixi's smiling side, and knew that he had let go of his nervousness because of the support of the audience, and couldn't help but be happy: "Didn't OPPA enjoy the moment when he stood on the stage and accepted the applause and cheers of the audience?" ”

"Hmmm! It's really nice and exciting. Zixi nodded with a smile and said, "No wonder Taeyeon has always said that she likes the stage very much, and every time she stands on the stage, she is full of tension and excitement." ”

"Humph! OPPA will only remember Taeyeon's words. Jessica got angry for no reason, shook her head and left.

"What's wrong?" Looking at Jessica in the distance, Zixi was a little confused. Caught up, grabbed Zixi's hand and asked, "What's wrong?" Where did it upset you? ”

"Nothing!" Jessica shook her head. She couldn't figure out how she always felt uncomfortable every time she heard Zixi mention other members from Zixi's mouth, or saw the overly intimate behavior between him and the members, as if she had been stabbed by something.

"It's good that there's nothing wrong with it! It should be your rehearsal in a moment, go and get ready. Zixi patted Jessica's head and said, "I'll get in touch and find some CDs as soon as possible, otherwise I'll really have to visit empty-handed." ”

When I returned to the waiting room, I saw Luo Xiuzhe and Kwon Tae-yong holding a large stack of CDs in their hands, all of which were "cold-faced" CDs. Seeing Zixi and Jessica coming back from rehearsal, Luo Xiuzhe said: "It's good for you to come back, and when Girls' Generation rehearsal is over, you will go and send the CD." I sent it to the processing plant temporarily, and it was all freshly made. ”

"Okay, finally I don't have to be empty-handed." Zixi glanced at Jessica with a smile.

When the girls' generation was gone, Luo Xiuzhe pulled Zixi to the side, let the others in the waiting room leave first, and saw that there was no one else around, before asking in a low voice: "I have already asked, most of the performing artists in the music center today are juniors, if you feel uncomfortable visiting in person, I can ask Tae Yong to take Jessica there, you don't have to go." I think that with your identity, even if you don't go, no one else will dare to say anything. ”

Luo Xiuzhe still takes care of Zixi's psychological feelings, no matter how to say that Zixi is a senior who has debuted for seven years, and he is a Hollywood superstar who enjoys international fame, and he is even more important in the Korean film and television industry. Which singers don't come to visit Zixi, their identity is a bit arrogant. If you let Zixi visit in person, I'm afraid it won't be possible.

"Is it really okay?" If you let Zixi go to Li Minyu's place, it doesn't matter, how can you say that his relationship with the mythical group has always been very good, and he is a big senior, and Zixi has a reasonable place in the past. But there are really few other artists and singers who can compare with Zixi, let him condescend to visit and deliver CDs, Luo Xiuzhe himself feels that he can't get over his face.

"Don't worry, no one dares to say anything." Luo Xiuzhe packed the ticket and said: "What's more, you are not in the debut song industry, which singers are not your direct predecessors." This time, you are purely a guest performer invited by MBC TV, and you don't care about the singers at all. ”

PS: Xie Lu, Xie Yingxiang's reward and support, with your encouragement, is the source of the code word. Thank you so much!!!
