Chapter 25: Debut
The little girl is Jessica's sister Zheng Xiujing, who has not yet debuted in the practice room, unlike her sister who is a full-time idol, she also needs to take care of her studies, and usually only comes to the company to practice after finishing her school classes.
Zheng Xiujing was very unhappy when she heard someone call her "embarrassed", and when she turned her head and saw Zhao Yuanxi, she immediately flattened her mouth and protested: "Ah, I said that my name is Zheng Xiujing, not embarrassed." ”
Zhao Yuanxi shouted wrong in a hurry, of course he would not admit that he had made a mistake, so he had to explain: "You know that I just came to South Korea, and the Korean pronunciation is not standard, so it is inevitable to pronounce it wrong." ”
Zheng Xiujing looked at Zhao Yuanxi, like an experienced detective trying to find clues to the crime from the emotions on the face of the cunning suspect, seeing that Zhao Yuanxi's expression was normal, he believed his words and said: "You speak Korean very well, at least much better than the Chinese sister I know." ”
"Oh, Chinese sister? Who is it? Zhao Yuanxi asked curiously, in S.M, he knew Han Geng and Song Qian, could there be other fellow countrymen.
"My Chinese sister's name is Song Qian, and she takes good care of me." Zheng Xiujing nodded and said, with a gentle smile on her face.
"Song Qian? I also know her, and she is still my hometown. Zhao Yuanxi said with a smile.
Zheng Xiujing looked at Zhao Yuanxi with a pair of black and white eyes, "It turns out that you are also Chinese." ”
"Of course," Zhao Yuanxi glanced at the backpack behind Zheng Xiujing and asked, "Are you going back to the dormitory?" ”
Zheng Xiujing shook her head and said, "I don't live in the dormitory and live at home." ”
Jung so-jing's home is in Cheongdam-dong, not far from S.M, and she goes home every day after her training sessions, but today she is a little later than usual.
"Just finished training?"
Zheng Xiujing nodded, "What about you?" ”
"Me too, just finished practicing."
"I heard that you will make your debut tomorrow? Is it? Zheng Xiujing raised her head and asked, the height gap between her and Zhao Yuanxi was a little big, and it was inevitable to raise her neck when speaking at close range.
Zhao Yuanxi nodded and said, "KBS Music Bank debuted." ”
Zheng Xiujing lowered her head, looking envious, and at the same time secretly cheered in her heart, I am still young now, and I will definitely be able to make my debut when I am older, just like my sister often encourages me to say, I am very good and have unlimited growth potential.
As soon as she thought of this, Zheng Xiujing raised her head again, waved her fists and said, "One day I will also make my debut." ”
Zhao Yuanxi applauded: "Fighting." I'm optimistic about you. ”
Zheng Xiujing smiled, and a sweet smile rippled from her fair pretty face.
Music Bank is actually a homonym for the English MusicBank. Music Bank is a live music program broadcast by KBS TV in South Korea, and singers will strive to participate in this program during the promotion period of albums and singles. The show is well-known in South Korea, and its awards are a kind of affirmation and support for singers, and due to the authoritative music comprehensive consideration, the music bank has become one of the wind indicators of Korean music. Many artists are happy that they have been nominated for the Music Bank. The songs are all new songs from people who have just released a record, because the songs are new songs that everyone is willing to listen to, and the popularity is naturally high.
The Music Bank recording stage was located in the public hall of the new KBS 2nd building in Yeouido, and Cho Won-hee arrived at the venue 40 minutes early by departure from Apgujeong S.M Company in a nanny car. S.M attaches great importance to Zhao Yuanxi's debut stage, all the processes are arranged in an orderly manner, and Zhao Yuanxi is equipped with a full-time makeup artist and a senior stylist.
S.M company's strategy has achieved good results, KBS venue deliberately preset a separate standby room for Zhao Yuanxi, as a newcomer Zhao Yuanxi naturally does not have such a big face, all S.M is operating behind the scenes, only slightly revealed a little bit of the relationship between Zhao Yuanxi and Li Mingxian, KBS from the director to the head of the sub-department is extremely nervous. You must know that the storm of the bribery case of Li Yuanjun, deputy director of KBS, has just passed, and the aftershocks have not yet subsided, and Li Mingxian's thunderous methods have shocked people's hearts, and the management of KBS TV station is panicked, lest they be bitten out by Li Yuanjun.
The PD in charge of various departments and the chief PD have found excuses to come to the standby room to show favor to Zhao Yuanxi, and Song Jifan's value as a senior agent has been vividly reflected. After sending a group of executives, Song Jifan walked into the waiting room, and Zhao Yuanxi was putting on makeup at this time.
"Zhao Yuanxi XI, your skin is very good, you only need to put on a layer of No. 5 foundation, but the lights on the stage are dazzling, in order to protect your skin, I suggest you still do a care makeup, it may be a little heavy, and it doesn't feel very comfortable." The middle-aged makeup artist dutifully explained his work to Zhao Yuanxi.
As a man, and as a Chinese man, Zhao Yuanxi's previous understanding of skin care stayed at the stage of facial cleanser and body lotion, where did he understand the mystery, and said to the makeup artist: "You are a professional, do what you think." ”
After putting on makeup, Song Ki-beom said: "While there is still time, I will take you to visit some seniors in the music industry." ”
South Korea is a country that pays extreme attention to etiquette and ethics, and attaches great importance to the relationship between seniors and seniors, especially in the entertainment industry, Zhao Yuanxi has a deep background, and S.M Company is a giant in the entertainment industry, but rules are rules and need to be followed most of the time. In view of Zhao Yuanxi's identity, some inconsequential figures and artists under companies with weak strength do not need to be ignored, just focus on meeting heavyweights in the music industry.
Song Jifan is mature and sophisticated, and he has already sorted out the list of people who need to be visited, and the first thing he led Zhao Yuanxi to visit was the first sister in the song industry, Li Xiaoli, who is known as the "national goblin".
Lee Hyo-ri is also a separate waiting room, Song Ki-beom and Cho Won-hee knocked on the door and went in, Lee Hyo-ri was sitting in front of the make-up mirror leisurely flipping through magazines, her performance stage was relatively back, as a senior, she didn't need to visit around, just stay in the standby room and wait quietly.
"Hello senior, I'm newcomer Zhao Yuanxi." Zhao Yuanxi followed Song Jifan into Li Xiaoli's waiting room, and greeted him with a twelve-point spirit according to Song Jifan's instructions, fortunately it was a lady, and she was a beautiful and moving woman, Zhao Yuanxi did not have much resistance to the respectful salute, and was a gentleman.
Li Xiaoli raised his head when he heard this, looked at him intently, stood up and took two steps closer, and said with a hearty smile: "I know you, you are Zhao Yuanxi, the singer of "In My Song", right." ”
Li Xiaoli approached him, and Zhao Yuanxi carefully examined the beautiful predecessor in the music world known as the "national goblin" in front of him, with a straight nose bridge, a moon smile like autumn water, plump and small lips, a warm smile, and delicate facial features showing a wonderful meaning that is both sexy and cordial.
Zhao Yuanxi said: "Yes, this is my first album, please accept it from my seniors." ”
Li Xiaoli took the album handed by Zhao Yuanxi and looked at it, the album was very beautifully produced, and S.M Company spent a lot of time on Zhao Yuanxi's first album, and said with a smile: "Will you sing a mixture of nine languages on stage today?" ”
Li Xiaoli loves music and appreciates people with musical talents, Zhao Yuanxi is undoubtedly the object of her admiration, proficient in nine Chinese dialects and can interpret a song fluently, in her opinion, it is indeed novel and amazing.
KBS TV arranged for Zhao Yuanxi's debut stage does have the opening Korean version of the debut and the final nine Chinese mixed singing, which is a unique exception on the stage of the music bank, a Zhao Yuanxi's nine Chinese dialect is indeed very novel, arranging stage performances can inevitably increase ratings, this is just a sufficient but unnecessary reason, if only because of this reason is of course not enough to impress KBS TV executives, such an arrangement is obviously a show of favor to Zhao Yuanxi, to the background behind Zhao Yuanxi.
Zhao Yuanxi nodded and said, "I will perform on stage." ”
"Great," Li Xiaoli clapped his palm, "I can hear the live version, and I didn't come in vain." ”
Zhao Yuanxi scratched his head, listening to the tone of this beautiful and sexy national goblin, it seemed that he was not here to play a song, but to listen to a concert. Such a bland and leisurely mentality really makes Zhao Yuanxi a little envious, seniors are seniors, and they are really extraordinary.
When will he, Zhao Yuanxi, be able to sway so freely, that is the kung fu home.
