Yesterday, "baby.steps" finally made its debut on the "Music Center" singing stage after "Duck Fly Fly" and "Like a Shot".

Living up to everyone's expectations, Nie Zirun and Cai Yan's amazing jazz pas de deux stage won full applause.

Despite being a title song that was released in advance, "Music Center" had an 18.3% rating that surpassed the previous "M!countdown" and "Music Bank", and even broke the record for the highest instant ratings since the launch of MBC's "Music Center".

MBC officially announced at the first time: "According to statistics, the viewership of "baby.steps" on that day broke through the 10 million mark in one fell swoop! ”

"An insurmountable record!"

That night, a number of media outlets rushed to report on the ratings of "Music Center" and gave such praise.

Not only that, the so-called good things come in pairs, in the early morning of the next day, the homepage of the official S.M official website suddenly repeatedly brushed up colorful celebration subtitles - "Congratulations to the album "True Confession" for breaking the 200,000 sales mark! ”

At the same moment, the number of fans who have skyrocketed to 100,000 raindrops quickly spread the good news frantically on major forums on the Internet, constantly refreshing, and all the ways they can use are used by them to share the great joy in their hearts.

And the sales of the album, which had slowed down slightly, have skyrocketed at this moment, and many fans and fans are celebrating Nie Zirun in this way.

For a while, the entire Korean Internet was filled with all kinds of topics about Nie Zirun, and he stayed up all night

"Zirun. Congratulations! ”

"I'm in for a treat!"

"200,000 please, 300,000. 400,000 again, it's better to keep please"

Just approached the backstage of SBS's "Popular Ballads". Many acquaintances and staff members came forward in an endless stream to congratulate Nie Zirun, with a strong envy and enthusiasm in the joke.

Nie Zirun circled for a while, and took Liu Chengmin and the three of them to the stage area together, and when they came to the territory of "Popular Songs", they always had to say hello to their New Year's friends

"I've got something to get out of here!"

As soon as the group of four approached the stage, Park Zhengheng, the chief PD of "Popular Ballads", had already discovered Nie Zirun's figure, but he just gave an order, and he didn't even care about the work at hand, and then left quickly with a smile on his face.

"What is this?"

A new staff member looked at Park Jung-heng's active and hurried back in confusion. It is said that the total PD of "Popular Ballads" is a bit snobbish, but is this too exaggerated, I'm afraid those high-level executives in Taiwan are just like that, right?

"Mr. Park and Nie Zirun are New Year's friends!"

The seniors on the side casually admonished disapprovingly: "There's nothing strange about it, do your thing, Mr. Park's temper is not as good as you see!" ”

The newcomer glanced around and found that many staff members continued their work in an orderly manner except for the first time when they raised their heads, and they didn't dare to ask any more questions, so they had to hold back their curiosity and follow the busy.

“haha。 You're here! ”

As soon as Park Zhengheng approached, he took the initiative to give a bear hug, patted Nie Zirun's shoulder hard, and said excitedly: "The ratings of "Popular Ballad" today depend on you!" ”

said. He eagerly pulled Nie Zirun closer to the stage, raised his hand and constantly pointed to all directions of the stage, and explained in a frothing voice: "The stage is ready according to the plan." I prepared three portions of foam and dry ice, and rehearsed twice. Officially, the piano is the latest top-level grand piano ordered in Taiwan. Brother, I borrowed it after wearing out my mouth, and there will be three more cameras at that time, which angle do you think is appropriate, I also helped prepare a bouquet of red roses for you, and then put it on the white piano, tsk, by the way, I will rehearse it first, what else do you ask to say as soon as possible, I will prepare immediately! ”

Nie Zirun looked at Park Zhengheng, who was almost dancing, and wanted to interrupt several times, but it was not easy to dismiss his heart, and finally waited for him to finish explaining, so he had time to hand him a bottle of water and said, "Brother Zhengheng, are you making it too grand?" ”

"Grand?"

Park Zhengheng's head shook like a rattle, and he said dissatisfiedly: "I'm still too simple, I can tell you, you must help me fight for this face today, my brother's future depends on you!" ”

"It's not that serious, is it?" Nie Zirun said with a smile: "It's just a stage for a song!" ”

Park Zhengheng's face suddenly turned pale, and he pulled Nie Zirun to a secluded place and walked a few steps, glanced around a few times, and then said mysteriously: "Zirun, there may be personnel changes in the station recently, if there is a breakthrough in "Popular Ballads" at this time, brother and I maybe"

He didn't continue, but just pointed his finger up a few times, already indicating the meaning of the words. As a year-old friend, they already know each other's personalities very well, so in front of Nie Zirun, he has never shied away from his dedication, let alone talked about similar topics.

"You're leaving Popular Ballads?" Nie Zirun was a little surprised, and said with concern: "Is there much hope?" ”

He knows that Park Zhengheng has a son who is studying abroad, and a young daughter is about to enter college, his wife is not in good health, she has been at home, and the financial pressure is definitely not small.

"I can't bear to "Popular Ballads", and besides, I want to prepare a few more stages for you!"

Park Zhengheng didn't mean to please, but he also had some extra thoughts in his heart, listening to Nie Zirun's intention to help him, his heart was suddenly ecstatic, and after a little slap on the back, he introduced with a serious expression: "There is a deputy director in charge of the broadcast of ballads who is retiring, you know that I have come to an end in "Popular Songs", and the ratings of the show have been good, as long as I work hard, it is still very promising!" ”

After speaking. looked at Nie Zirun expectantly, looking very nervous.

Nie Zirun smiled disappreciatively. Although the relationship between the two is already good, Park Zhengheng is still difficult to change at a critical moment. However, he believed that Park Zhengheng would not lie to him about this kind of thing, so he pointed out: "Brother Zhengheng, the Jin Council will come to my waiting room in a while, and I will have time to sit down!" ”

Some words are good to stop at!

"Zirun will go to my house tonight to have two drinks, and let your sister-in-law cook a few good dishes for you!"

Park Zhengheng's body trembled a little with excitement, he thought that Nie Zirun would hesitate, after all, how many people would be staring at the position of a deputy director, and he knew it by thinking about it with his toes, but he didn't expect it to be so simple. This time, he was really grateful to Nie Zirun from the bottom of his heart.

With this sentence, the promotion is almost a certainty.

Nie Zirun smiled and declined: "Brother Zhengheng, thank you for not needing to be my sister-in-law, she has always been worried about you, and besides, I am back now, and it is not convenient to go to your house!" ”

"Yes, yes, you look at me confused, it's really troublesome to take a picture of the reporter!"

Park Zhengheng nodded again and again, he understood that Nie Zirun didn't want to be associated with something in the future, so he calmed down his excitement a little. Then he looked cramped again, rubbed his hands and said embarrassedly: "Then you have to give me a chance, otherwise my brother and I really don't want to go!" ”

Nie Zirun, it can be seen that Park Zhengheng is not hypocritical. But I really want to be grateful, which is also what makes him lovely, he is straightforward and straightforward. Especially in front of friends.

"Brother Zhengheng, you really want to thank me. Keep it simple when it comes to rehearsals! Nie Zirun glanced at the busy staff around the stage, and said, "It's too exaggerated!" ”

See Nie Zirun insisted. Park Zhengheng no longer insisted: "Okay, but you still have to eat food, go to the cafeteria at noon!" ”

"Okay, it's just that you can't drink the wine, hehe!"

Just as he was talking and laughing, the phone rang, Nie Zirun glanced at the caller ID, signaled to Park Zhengheng, and then walked to the corner to answer: "Oh, what's wrong?" With a hint of sweetness in his eyes, it was Zheng Xiuyan.

"It's nothing, I just woke up, I miss you!" The soft voice is only available when she just woke up, maybe she felt that she had ignored Nie Zirun some time ago, Zheng Xiuyan has always been sticking to him recently, except for the fixed phone calls or text messages every day, she always tries to accompany him whenever she has time.

Nie Zirun pursed the corners of his mouth that had become wider, and said with concern: "Why do you get up so late, don't you have an itinerary today?" What about them? ”

"I'm on leave, they've already started their journey!" Zheng Xiuyan paused, seemed to be gathering courage, and continued: "I don't want to miss our "Red Bean"! ”

"Can newcomers take leave, why don't I know?" Nie Zirun laughed and teased, and the lingering affection on the phone made his heart fly.

Zheng Xiuyan puffed up her bun face, a little embarrassed, and said with a hint of mischievousness: "I told Zhu Yong oppa, you asked me to ask for leave!" ”

"Yikes!" Nie Zirun held back a smile and deliberately said in a thick voice: "Little guy, why don't I remember saying that?" ”

"What's small?" Zheng Xiuyan said to him left and right.

Nie Zirun also deliberately distorted, and playfully counterattacked: "Well, C is not small~~"

Zheng Xiuyan was stunned, and immediately reacted, a blush quickly spread on her pink cheeks, and the empty hand subconsciously covered her towering peak, and her whole body suddenly became numb like electricity, and she said shyly and anxiously: "Pervert!" ”

Nie Zirun touched the bridge of his nose speechlessly, feeling very wronged, how could he be a girlfriend, he hadn't even touched it, just a visual inspection, is it also called obscene?

The phone was quiet, the two didn't speak for a while, just listened to each other's breathing, and after waiting for a while, Nie Zirun finally couldn't help but say, "Are you really angry?" ”

“”

The other end of the phone was still very quiet, Nie Zirun didn't expect that Zheng Xiuyan was actually empty in an instant, her delicate face was bright red at the moment, her white teeth bit her lower lip, and there was even a hint of charm in her watery eyes, no one knew what she was thinking

"Xiuyan, are you still listening? Xiuyan? ”

Nie Zirun shouted into the phone again, and found that there was still no response, so he said to himself, "Are you asleep again?" Drowsiness was her greatest characteristic, he had to guess.

"Uh, ah, no!"

Zheng Xiuyan's somewhat messy voice suddenly rang on the phone, and then she confessed in a panic: "Oppa, let Sister Ina come out to pick me up later!" ”

"Toot toot!"

Nie Zirun looked at the phone that had been hung up, scratched his head in surprise, and said to himself again: "What's the situation?" (To be continued......)
