"Cut, why don't you die?"

Zheng Endi was touched by his tone and scolded viciously.

Just as Ji Jingyuan was about to say a reply, the elevator door opened not far ahead, and the five members of FX walked out from inside.

Ji Jingyuan, who was holding the phone after seeing them, quickly stepped aside and saluted, and several people from FX also saw that he didn't bother him after making the call, and waved his hand with a smile.

Zheng Xiujing, who was walking in the third, had been locking his gaze on Chi Jingyuan since he saw him, his eyes were happy with unkindness, but because he didn't say anything on the phone, he left quickly after glaring at him.

Cui Xueli smiled and made a 'call' gesture to Chi Jingyuan, and after getting a nod from Chi Jingyuan, she shook her hand happily and gave him a wink before following her teammates in front of her.

"What's wrong?" On the phone, Zheng Endi saw that Chi Jingyuan didn't speak for a long time and asked.

"It's nothing, I met a few seniors in the company and said hello...... What did you just say? ”

"Forget it, it's nothing."

With Zheng Endi's understanding of Chi Jingyuan, it was estimated that he didn't mean to reunite, so he didn't bother to say anything, and moved on to another topic: "Your return has been postponed?" “

"Yes, the specific time has not been determined, regardless of the occasional estimate, it will be postponed by one to two weeks."

Chi Jingyuan walked into the elevator and pressed down to the 3rd floor: "I knew that your apink was going to return soon, so we wouldn't postpone it, and when the time comes, I will directly hit you, I see that you are still arrogant." ”

"Elsie, what a ...... you are If you have the ability, come here and see who knocks who into the air, hahaha......"

Zheng Endi squirted back without showing weakness, and then after a while, her hearty laughter came from the phone, and she couldn't imagine how wide her mouth was without looking at Ji Jingyuan.

"Alright, I'll start working as soon as I get to the practice room, so let's not talk about it."

Chi Jingyuan walked out of the elevator to the door of the practice room, and finally explained to the phone: "By the way, aren't you about to join the group to shoot a TV series?" It seems to be a drama of KBS, I remember...... When the time comes, OPPA will send you a support car to make you look up. ”

"Hey, you're 94 and oppa, who's rare."

Zheng Eun said disdainfully, but his tone sounded very cheerful, obviously happy because Ji Jingyuan had paid attention to his itinerary.

"Bye-bye then."

"Goodbye."

Hanging up the phone, Ji Jingyuan shook his head with a smile, pushed open the door of the practice room and walked in.

After a few days off, EXO started working overtime again every day.

But as long as he doesn't get sick, Chi Jingyuan doesn't care, idol, it's all like this.

…………

Because there have been a lot of things going on lately, in addition to the final progress of the album, there are also various preparations for the neon fan meeting and the concert, and the whole EXO has started to work non-stop like a rewinding one.

In order to prepare them wholeheartedly, the company basically stopped accepting any team's schedules and variety shows during this time, not even commercial performances, only some members received new personal information, such as Park Chanyeol and Bian Boxian.

However, they are also very hard working and conscious, because all the practice progress delayed by their itinerary will make up for the time in the early hours of the evening, just like Chi Jingyuan in the past, they will not get off work until three o'clock in the middle of the night.

And Chi Jingyuan has no other itinerary except for some personal advertisements, and devotes himself to work and practice.

In the past few days, they have completed the MV shooting of "overdose", the re-recording of "dope" has also been completed, and the MV is also halfway filmed, and the progress is quite fast.

It's March 29th.

"Here, help me bring it to Joo Hyun Xi at night."

In the stairwell on the second and third floors of the SM company building, Chi Jingyuan handed Jiang Shiqi a packaged gift box, and then instructed.

"You really can't spare time for Jewel Oni's birthday tonight?"

Jiang Shiqi took the gift, looked at him with some regret and said.

Today is Bae Joo-hyun's birthday, and she specially called to invite Ji Jingyuan the day before yesterday, but it's a pity......

"I even took the time to let you bring gifts now, so you know how busy we have been these days."

Chi Jingyuan sighed.

I've been busy enough preparing the album myself, and now I've added a concert.

He really underestimated the intensity of the concert rehearsal, the stage positioning and rehearsal of nearly 20 songs, as well as the preparation of many personal stages, and the filming of the concert-specific VCR, which can be said to be really fatal.

"My Iceberg Beauty Wife"

Before Jiang Shiqi and Sun Shengwan's birthdays, it was because this was their 94line's adult birthday, which was more important, so Chi Jingyuan took time to go over.

Bae Joo-hyun has been an adult for a long time and doesn't know how long, and it's not a boyfriend or girlfriend or anything, so she doesn't need to pay too much attention to her birthday.

But people can't get there, he specially prepared a Pokémon figure, which is very exquisite, and he thinks Bae Joo-hyun should like it more.

"I'm done today, it's definitely already early in the morning, and by then, Joo Hyunxi's birthday should have ended, so forget it today, next time."

"Okay then."

Jiang Shiqi nodded, pouted slightly, thought for a while and said, "I was going to tell you a good news in the evening, but I guess you also know ......"

"What's the good news?" Chi Jingyuan looked at her.

“…………”

At the mention of this, Jiang Shiqi's face was filled with a burst of joy, and it became more and more obvious, the whole person seemed to be firmly surrounded by happiness, his hands waved vigorously as if he wanted to express the emotions in his heart, and he couldn't help laughing out loud for a few seconds and told him with great joy:

"The company has started a new women's group plan, and many trainees have been selected to enter the shortlist.

Jiang Shiqi's whole face smiled like a flower, her eyes were bent and crescent, her cheekbones were bulging, her mouth was grinning, her face was unparalleled and her excitement bloomed unbridledly, and the cold staircase seemed to be a little warmer than her enthusiasm.

“jinjia？”

Chi Jingyuan's eyes widened a little, and he was very surprised.

"Inside, it was made public at the meeting a few days ago, and the list of selected candidates was announced at that time."

She nodded vigorously to certify, and then asked suspiciously: "Jingyuan, don't you know?" ”

"I've been so busy these days that I've not paid attention to the news in this area."

Chi Jingyuan shook his head, and after a dull moment, he smiled knowingly, looked at Jiang Shiqi and congratulated him seriously: "Congratulations so much." ”

Debut is the most coveted thing for any trainee, and these trainees have been practicing hard for so many years in the company just for such an opportunity.

And suddenly this opportunity appeared in front of him, Chi Jingyuan could fully imagine how excited they were when they heard the news, how excited they were, it was a trembling and unbelievable feeling.

I guess it's hard to control my emotions.

"Hehe......" Facing Chi Jingyuan's blessing, Jiang Shiqi smiled happily, her simple smile was really infectious, and Chi Jingyuan couldn't help laughing.

"You didn't cry when you found out the news that day, did you?" He asked curiously.

"Of course I cried, how could I not cry for this kind of thing, I cried for a long time after Sheng, and so did Zhu Hyun Oni, crying was ugly."

After thinking about it, Jiang Shiqi looked at him and retorted.

"Then you're crying now, what if you really make your debut then?"

"I'll cry again then."

"Haha, that makes sense."

Ji Jingyuan looked at her natural appearance and shook his head with a smile, gave her a thumbs up, and then admonished: "Come on." ”

"Something called me."

"Inside!" Jiang Shiqi responded with a smile.

"Then I'll go first, don't forget to give the gift."

"Don't worry, you also pay attention to your body, the news two days ago was really scary."

"Haha, got it."

Chi Jingyuan and Jiang Shiqi waved goodbye, turned around and went up the stairs.

SM was really surprised that he had a new girl group plan, and in his judgment, he thought it should be a little later, but he didn't expect it to be brought up so soon.

For some reason, he suddenly thought of girlhood.

At the end of March, Girls' Generation ended this return to the song.

After "some" went down, it was a week after the scenery fell into the strangulation of various girl groups, and until the end, a total of 5 first-place trophies were won.

This result is already a success for other girl groups, but for Girls' Generation, it can only be said that she barely saved face.

And today, the results of this return can also be closed, the sales have been cut in half, the sound source has declined seriously, and the overall is obviously going downhill.

Most of the fire of Peninsula idols is that the sound source explodes first, and then the sales explode.

And the recession is the same, the music source also declines, and then the sales decrease.

It shouldn't have declined so quickly, but last year's "igotaboy" really hurt their reputation and popularity of passers-by, and this year's continuous exposure of love is even worse, and fans don't know how much they have run.

This album has big and small moths, and it can be seen that the company has not paid much attention, and this year is the contract year of Girls' Generation, and now it is estimated that this time is the time when the negotiations are fierce, and it is still a question mark whether all 9 people can renew their contracts.

In the case that Girls' Generation has just returned to an unfavorable situation, at this time, the new girl group plan was suddenly started, and I don't know if there is a certain relationship in the middle.

Alas, I hope these sisters are doing well.

Ji Jingyuan blessed in his heart and returned to the practice room to start his heavy work again.

…………

"Didn't you celebrate it all, why did you wait for me for so long?"

Chi Jingyuan sat opposite Cui Xueli, looking at her blushing face, looking like she had drunk a lot of wine, and leaning back in the chair a little tiredly.

It's already the early morning of the 30th, and they are in a small bar in Sinshadong, Gangnam District, the area is not large but the decoration is not bad, the lights are yellow but not dim, and the soothing music volume is just right, rendering the atmosphere of the whole store very warm.

At this time, there were not many customers around, and one or two people were sitting far away, and there were only two people in this area, Chi Jingyuan and Cui Xueli.

It's a coincidence that Cui Xueli's birthday is also March 29.

She had called Ji Jingyuan to come out to celebrate, and after knowing that it would be difficult to spare time, she asked him when he would finish the practice, and then said that she would wait for him here.

As a relative of Ji Jingyuan in the same year, he naturally didn't say anything, and it was already more than one o'clock and almost two o'clock when he got off work today, and after talking to his agent, he rushed here in Park Jae-hyun's car.

"Of course I have to celebrate my birthday, why don't you let me celebrate if you don't come?"

Cui Xueli glanced at him, a little dissatisfied with Chi Jingyuan's inability to come before, but soon laughed: "Don't worry, that little wine is only a lot, nothing at all." ”

She is obviously only an adult this year, but her tone is as hearty as a hero in wine.

"You don't have to wait for me after the celebration, my gift has already been given to you."

"Whoever called you to celebrate, I wanted to talk to you, talk."

"Couldn't those friends at the party just now? Must tell me? It's so late. Chi Jingyuan was a little helpless, he was actually quite tired after practicing all night, so he was waiting to go back to sleep.

And Cui Xueli had a birthday party with her friends before she saw it, and Ji Jingyuan didn't ask who it was, everyone has their own social circle, nothing strange.

"Of course, do you think I can't tell who is a friend who can only play together, and who is a friend who can really talk about things?"

Cui Xueli looked at Chi Jingyuan seriously: "You are my most important relative of the same age, of course I can only talk to you...... It's my birthday today, so you shouldn't lose face. ”

Feeling that although she was a little drunk, but her eyes were unusually clear, Chi Jingyuan shook his head angrily and glanced at her: "Don't make a mistake, it's two o'clock in the morning, and your birthday has passed yesterday." ”

As he spoke, he poured a glass of warm water from the kettle on the table and handed it to her.

Although the tone was not very good, this action and demeanor made Cui Xueli grin, took the water cup and took a sip.

There was a sudden silence on the table, Cui Xueli seemed to be organizing the language, and Ji Jingyuan waited quietly for her to say.

"I kind of don't want to be an idol anymore."

After a minute of silence, she suddenly spoke, holding a glass of water and whispering.

"............" Chi Jingyuan didn't show surprise, just nodded silently, signaling that he was listening.

"I'm very tired every day, I can't finish all kinds of trips, and our combination has now reached a bottleneck, I can't go up or down, and I can't see any hope for further progress."

"Although the relationship between the members is very good, there is no contradiction, but sometimes I always feel a little awkward, and I Xiujing is full of competition."

"The most important thing is that people scold me every day on the Internet, how ugly the scolding is, I feel that no matter what I do, it is wrong, do they really hate me so much?"

"And ............"

Cui Xueli began to vent the complaints in her heart, feeling as if she had been holding back a lot of resentment in her heart recently, and wanted to vent all her brains.

Waiting for her to finish, Ji Jingyuan groaned for a while, looked at her and said, "Then have you thought about what you should do if you don't idol?" ”

"I want to be an actor." Cui Xueli seems to have thought about it.

"Actors? What to play? "To the Beautiful You"? Ji Jingyuan blinked.

"Ah, why do you mention this again?"

Cui Xueli patted him dissatisfiedly and glared at him angrily.

"Hehe......"

Ji Jingyuan chuckled, and his expression returned to seriousness: "Then have you thought about it?" ”

"Not yet, in fact, I don't want to be an idol...... But I was really reluctant and entangled in my heart. ”

Cui Xueli frowned and pursed her lips, looking like she had a hard time choosing.

"Hmm...... Have you saved enough money? Chi Jingyuan asked.

"No, my expenses are not low, and I am planning to buy a property recently."

"Will SM support your exit from FX?"

“…………”

"Then do you think SM will quit the group when you quit, and will continue to give you film and television resources?"

"Probably not, probably not."

"So you're trying to change agencies? Got in touch? ”

"No ......"

"Well, do you have connections with TV stations or film and television production companies?"

“…………”

Her voice grew quieter and quieter, until it was inaudible.

"Hey, you don't have any preparations, are you just not an idol on a whim? No way back at all? Chi Jingyuan looked at Cui Xueli in disbelief.

"It's not ...... It's not like I haven't decided yet, so I'm talking to you. ”

Cui Xueli smiled at him and poured a glass of water for Chi Jingyuan flatteringly.

Glancing at her, Chi Jingyuan took the water cup and took a sip, thought for a while and said, "Look, you haven't prepared anything, unless you let it go, and it depends on luck." ”

"Although many people scold you, there are also a lot of people who like you, and the number of fans of FX should not be underestimated, right, if you quit personally, you will take the initiative to abandon the fans who support you in this regard, which is a bit more than worth the loss."

"I think you have to wait at least until there is a popular TV series, or a movie masterpiece, before you have the confidence to communicate with the company and officially change careers to the actors, otherwise even if you are not an idol, it will be very difficult to develop."

"FX debuted in 2009, and it has been 5 years since this year, and there are still two years left before the contract year, which is not long or short, enough for you to prepare slowly."

Chi Jingyuan gave his opinion.

He can understand Cui Xueli's thoughts, not everyone has a family as confidence like him, ignoring all levels in the entertainment industry, it is a normal idea for idol to want to change careers to become an actor, hasn't Yuna's predecessors also been on the road of trying.

Although it's not very smooth.

Just quitting the group is a bit of a gamble, and he is not very optimistic unless he is ready.

"Hmmm......"

After listening to the words, Cui Xueli held the water cup and thought seriously for a while, nodded slightly, looked at Chi Jingyuan, and sincerely thanked her: "Thank you." ”

She could tell who was perfunctory and who was really thinking about herself.

She hadn't thought about it so much before, and she hadn't made a decision, but she had been holding it in her heart very sullen when her thoughts got up, which not only affected her mood, but also made her daily practice and itinerary a little absent-minded.

It made her feel like she was a little clearer.

"Thank you for ...... early"

Ji Jingyuan pursed his lips and tilted his head to look at Ji Jingyuan: "And I don't look very well at your actor route." “

"Why?" Cui Xueli was still a little moved just now, but now she couldn't help but wrinkle her nose and stare at Chi Jingyuan.

"Because of your acting skills."

"What's wrong with my acting?"

"The acting skills are not good, what's wrong."

"Why?"

"To the Beautiful You"

"You...... Yikes! ”
