Chapter 49: Running away

"You're just done"

Ji Jingyuan was dressed in a simple white shirt with jeans, carrying a shoulder bag on the first floor of the company, leaning against the wall near the side door, and looked at the three people who walked in front of him with a smile.

Several of them were dressed in standard practice attire, with short or long sleeves paired with sweatpants and sneakers, and each wore braids because of the dancing they had just done.

Among them, Pei Zhuhyun's clothes don't know if they are one size smaller or specifically this style, whether it is a top or pants, they are a little tight, there are some traces of bras printed on the chest of the white plain round neck shirt, and under the gray sweatpants that are close to the legs are a pair of white white shoes, which looks like a small jasper.

It's just that a few people don't have much makeup at this time, so they don't look very exquisite, and their faces are a little yellow, obviously because of the hard practice recently, the whole person is very tired physically and mentally.

When they walked in, a special smell wafted over, and Chi Jingyuan subconsciously sniffed lightly with his nose.

It's a smell of body fragrance and sweat mixed together,

Of course, there is no trainee who doesn't sweat, basically dancing a song and dancing will start to sweat, not to mention a few songs in a row, EXO doesn't take a few minutes to practice every time everyone is sweating profusely, if the whole practice room is not open windows or air conditioning ventilation, there is a smell of sweat everywhere, he has long been used to it.

It's just that he inadvertently sniffed the smell and the other two didn't react, but Pei Zhuhyun seemed to notice it, as if he was startled, and gently moved back, as if he couldn't smell it if he was a little farther away.

"Of course, now we have to practice for more than ten hours a day, except for eating and sleeping every day...... Jingyuan, you see I've lost so much weight now! ”

"That..."

"Well, look."

Sun Shengwan complained with a bitter face, and also lifted his sleeves and trouser legs, showed Chi Jingyuan her forearms and calves, and used the bracelet to show how good her figure is now, and at the same time wanted him to know how hard they worked.

It's just that Chi Jingyuan glanced twice, Sun Shengwan's face was indeed a little thinner, and it was not as full as the last time they met, but there was really no change in the arms and calves.

No matter how you look at it, she is still the roundest of the three.

However, according to him, Sun Shengwan's current figure is actually about the same, this appearance is actually just right, it looks very coordinated, and his big eyes are also very smart and look very energetic.

It's just that if she wants to be on camera, she probably has to reduce it a little more.

"By the way, Jingyuan, how was your concert? I look at the news as if there is something wrong with Hong Kong Island Station? ”

Jiang Shiqi smiled and looked at Sun Shengwan for a while, and then asked with some concern about the news she saw yesterday.

"There was a little accident...... Ji Jingyuan briefly talked about the concert two days ago, and he didn't go into much detail.

"Speaking of which, when we were in EXO Seoul before, we were in the middle of member screening, and we practiced late every day, so it's a shame that we didn't have time to go to your concert......"

"If you haven't watched it, you haven't watched it, the debut thing is definitely more important, and you're not XO fans...... And it's not just this time, there will definitely be a tour in the future. ”

Chi Jingyuan waved his hand indifferently, and then looked at the three of them: "What do you want to eat?" ”

From saying hello just now, Bae Joo-hyun noticed Ji Jingyuan's action of smelling the smell as if he was a little embarrassed, and he didn't open his mouth and smiled and listened, but the other two people didn't finish talking, obviously they were very happy to see Ji Jingyuan.

It's just that after hearing it at this time, the two of them smiled a little wryly, and looked a little embarrassed at each other: "Recently, we have been carrying out body management, and the room manager is very strict in supervision, in fact, during this time, we generally don't eat anything at night, at most eat some fruit or salad for a while......"

"Then you're still calling me to eat?" Ji Jingyuan couldn't hold back his voice and stared at her.

"Hehe...... Jiang Shiqi showed his signature idiot smile at him again, puffing out his cheeks and grinning: "It's not like I haven't seen you for a long time, and it's ......"

She glanced at Bae Joo-hyun next to her and didn't continue.

Chi Jingyuan pursed his lips and glanced at the two of them.

Flying back to the peninsula in the morning, they first went to the company for a meeting, and after eating at noon and taking a few pictorials with the company's publicity, the agent announced that he would have a half-day holiday and gather in the dormitory in the evening, and the twelve members dispersed in an instant.

When Chi Jingyuan was resting at noon, he and Jiang Shiqi sent a few messages to chat with Kakao, talking about the fact that he had returned to the peninsula, and the other party's eyes lit up and said that they could eat together in the evening, Chi Jingyuan thought about it and agreed without anything else, it just happened that they hadn't seen each other much for a while, you can take a look at their recent status, and also see what the current situation of this girl group project is.

Originally, he was going to call Wu Shixun to join him, but this kid glanced at him with contempt, saying that he was going to go on a date with a female ticket, and asked Chi Jingyuan with a surprised face that he finally had a vacation, and the trip was going to be busy again, don't you have to accompany your girlfriend or something.

Chi Jingyuan slapped him angrily, waved his hand and told him to get out of here.

“………”

Noticing the tiredness on the faces and eyes of the three girls, Chi Jingyuan also remembered the devil's practice time when he first entered SM, it was really practice every day when he opened his eyes, and he could fall asleep immediately when he was tired when he went back to bed, and that feeling is still fresh in his memory.

He raised his eyes and thought for a moment before asking, "How long do you have a break for dinner?" ”

"It's more than an hour, but we usually finish eating quickly, come back early and hurry up to practice." Sun Sheng replied directly: "But today can be a little longer, the classes have been completed during the day, and the evening is the time for free practice." ”

"If you don't eat...... Let's go, take you to rest and relax. ”

Chi Jingyuan briefly thought about it for two seconds, and while walking in the direction of the side door of the front company, he beckoned them to follow.

"Relax, where are you going?"

"You'll know when you get there."

…………

It just so happened that Park Jae-hyun was in the company, and Ji Jingyuan directly called him to drive a few of them to the leisure club that Ji Jingxu had taken him to before.

This rather upscale casual club is called Rex, which seems to be taken from the word 'rex', and it has to be taken from English to show its style.

Since the second brother gave the VIP card to Chi Jingyuan, he himself has been here a few times when he feels very tired, and I have to say that the service here is really good, and he feels a lot more relaxed after every trip.

At this time, I saw that Pei Zhuxun and the others were full of tiredness, and they didn't need to eat when they had time now, so they simply took them over to relax.

Chi Jingyuan didn't sell it all the time, he got in the car and told them what he was going to do with them, and the three of them lit up when they heard it, and their faces were very excited with anticipation.

It seems that the practice life during this period of time has really exhausted them physically and mentally, that is, the goal of their debut has been hanging in front of them, otherwise it is really difficult to maintain such a high-intensity practice life for so long.

The place is also in Gangnam-gu, not very far from SM Company.

Walking into the clubhouse, the yellow chandelier lined the whole hall with warmth and magnificence, the elegant but not vulgar decoration is expensive at a glance, the highly modernist style paintings hanging on the wall, and the ninety-degree bow and respectful greeting to the waiter as soon as they enter the door show the slightly higher grade here, so that Jiang Shiqi and Sun Shengwan, who had been chattering endlessly just now, couldn't help but lower their voices a little.

Bae Joo-hyun followed closely beside him, slightly burying his head and looking at the surrounding decorations, the glint in his eyes seemed to like this style of arrangement.

She hadn't said a few words since just now, and she had been standing in the position farthest away from Chi Jingyuan, and a few times in the middle, she quietly lifted her collar and lowered her head to smell while Chi Jingyuan was not paying attention.

A simple casual action can bring so much lethality......

Ji Jingyuan didn't say much, and called the waiter to take them away to do the process first, and he also stopped Park Jae-hyun, who was about to leave and wait outside, and the two went to open a room together to rest for a while.

Several concerts in a row, plus the previous practice and preparations, really made him tired enough, and today I have time to massage it really relieved a lot, lying on the waterbed Chi Jingyuan looked at the ceiling comfortably, the whole person felt a little fluttery, warm, and even wanted to lie there and sleep and couldn't get up.

"Hmm......"

After a while, he picked up his phone and looked at it, sighed and sent a message to Jiang Shiqi, then sat up and started to change clothes.

"Jingyuan, I'll go down and wait for you first." Park Jae-hyun changed his clothes first, and walked out first, while Ji Jingyuan nodded and changed his clothes lazily, and walked out with a shoulder bag on his back.

They were all on the same floor, but the rooms were not together, Ji Jingyuan walked out and waited at the appointed place for less than two minutes, and saw Bae Joo-hyun and the three of them coming over together.

Unlike when he came here before, hiding in the back, at this time Bae Joo-hyun is at the forefront.

The black hair had been completely blown dry, a ball head was tied at the back of the head, and the air bangs hanging down from the forehead were obviously specially groomed, and they were flicked when they walked.

I don't know if the slightly dull yellow face just now is because of the heat or the mood has improved, but now the whole face is red and white and tender, and the whole person feels a lot more energetic, with that slightly tight-fitting plain light color dress, it looks like a student who has just been admitted to high school.

If you don't say it, you really can't see that she was born in 91, three years older than Chi Jingyuan.

After seeing Chi Jingyuan, she immediately laughed, waved her hand happily in the air, and the speed of walking under her feet naturally accelerated.

It's just her walking posture......

"Why do you keep twisting your hips when you walk? Twisted and twisted, the upper body didn't move much, where did you learn what habits? ”

didn't care about Pei Zhuhyun's smile, watching her come all the way Ji Jingyuan frowned and looked at the whole time, and when she walked in front of her, she couldn't help but complain.

He hadn't paid attention to it a few times before, but now he suddenly found that this sister's walking posture was different from others.

Pei Zhuhyun, who was much more relaxed and in a better mood, smiled very happily, but after getting closer, he immediately changed color after hearing Ji Jingyuan's words, and the bright smile just now disappeared immediately, frowning and looking up at him: "That's how I walk, can't I?" ”

"Of course you can, if you like to twist it......"

Chi Jingyuan blinked, then smiled at Jiang Shiqi Sun Shengwan behind him, nodded his chin and motioned for them to follow, turned around and took the lead in the direction of the elevator, but as soon as he took a step, he pouted, lowered his voice and said, "I'm not afraid of growing tall." ”

"Ah......h

"Haha"

Even if the voice was low, it was clearly transmitted into the ears of the three of them, and Pei Zhuhyun immediately stood in place, looking at Ji Jingyuan's back and shouting angrily, and the two younger sisters next to him snickered and bypassed her to follow.

Standing in place for two or three seconds, Pei Zhuhyun looked at Ji Jingyuan's back indignantly, just looking at it, the corners of his mouth curled unconsciously, he trotted up with a light snort, glared at the two Jiang Shiqi and Sun Shengwan who were laughing at her just now, sped up and crossed the bodies of the two, walked behind Ji Jingyuan and beat him hard, and then walked to the side and walked side by side.

At this time, Bae Joo-hyun looked much more natural, and he no longer looked a little awkward before.

The clothes of the two are plain white and light colors, and walking together has a bit of a couple's outfit.

But after only taking two steps, Pei Zhuhyun glanced at it, and quietly raised his head and straightened his back.

"Joo Hyun Xi." Chi Jingyuan added.

"Inside?"

"The candidate for the girl group project should be almost decided, right?"

"Well, after four rounds of screening, there are less than ten alternative trainees left, and it is estimated that it will be decided this month." Bae Joo-hyun nodded and introduced.

"I heard Shiqi say before, the three of you have great hopes?"

"It should be, but it still depends on the determination of the final quota, and I can't say for sure now." Sighing lightly, Bae Zhuhyun pursed her lips, but she was not particularly optimistic: "Who knows what it will be like in the end, if there is a 'royal family' ...... when he debuts"

She deliberately left it blank and didn't finish speaking, and glanced at Chi Jingyuan specifically, obviously retaliating for the complaint about her height just now.

"......" Chi Jingyuan was not annoyed at all, he looked at her and smiled at the scissor hands of 'yes'.

"I feel like our project may be the same as the original plan of SJ and Girls' Generation." At this time, Jiang Shiqi, who had been listening from the back, interjected.

"Huh? How so? Chi Jingyuan nodded to the waiter who opened the elevator for them, and several people walked into the elevator together.

"It's the setting at the beginning of the combination of SJ and Girls' Generation, isn't it that the personnel are not fixed, and there will be an infinite increase in members in the middle, do you know Jingyuan?"

"Inside, I heard the members talk about it."

Hearing this, he thought about it and nodded, he had indeed heard of something similar.

It seems that Lee so-man has always had a plan for the infinite expansion of idol groups in his heart, that is, there is no limit to the number of members in the group, and even after his debut, he can always add members to it.

He seems to think that this is the future of KPOP idol groups, and he has wanted to implement it since a long time.

It is said that both SJ and Girls' Generation wanted to follow this plan of infinite expansion at the beginning, but it didn't happen for various reasons.

"It seems that our girl group project will also implement this strategy, I heard that four or five people should be selected to debut first, and then new members will be added every year in the future, and the trainees in the preparatory group who are still there may join." Jiang Shiqi said with an expression that he knew the inside information.

"Really? Are you sure? Chi Jingyuan glanced at her and then turned around and couldn't help but sniff lightly.

After entering the elevator, Pei Zhuhyun stood next to him and leaned close, and under the closed space, a fragrant smell kept coming from her body and lingering around, I couldn't tell if it was body fragrance, or shower gel shampoo or something, anyway, it smelled good.

"I'm not sure......"

Jiang Shiqi sneered, and the mystery of the pretense just now immediately broke the work: "I also heard what people said." ”

"I've heard about it, too, and it could be like that." Bae Joo-hyun looked up at him and nodded in agreement.

"Come on, whether it is or not, or strive to be in the first batch of debuts."

Chi Jingyuan glanced at them and smiled and cheered, the elevator door opened and walked out first, and at the same time finally settled on the side: "Really don't eat?" ”

“……”

It seemed that someone's stomach was slightly troubled, obviously they were really hungry, but the three girls still nodded very firmly: "Don't eat!" ”

Hunger and debut ratio are simply not worth mentioning.

Chi Jingyuan shrugged his shoulders and laughed:

"Then let's go, send you back......"

…………

The final candidate for SM's girl group project is also about to settle, although it seems that Bae Joo-hyun and several people have great hopes, but it is not that there are no surprises.

As she said, what if a royal family suddenly parachuted into the air and squeezed her away before her debut, or what if the company finally felt that any of them were not suitable for the project and screened her out, no one knows what the final situation would be.

It's just that at the last moment, I tried my best to practice and fight for it.

Chi Jingyuan really wants to see what these three people look like after they debut together, after all, the two are his friends of the same year who have a good relationship, and the other is also quite fateful......

Thinking of Pei Joo-hyun's inconsistent performances just now, Ji Jingyuan couldn't help but chuckle.

After sending the three of them back, Chi Jingyuan got into the car again, dialed the phone and prepared to go to the next appointment.

It's hard to take a vacation, and you definitely have to make good use of it.

When he saw the other members of the dormitory again in the evening, he found that everyone was much more energetic, and he didn't know what they had done before.

He didn't ask, but he knew that several members should have gone to find a female ticket like Wu Shixun.

Everyone has accumulated a lot of fatigue from long-term hard activities, whether it is the company's requirements, fans' expectations, external evaluations, their own professionalism and other aspects, they continue to put pressure on artists, and they do need to take a vacation from time to time to take a break and give off their body and mind.

Otherwise, if you keep going, you may have some problems.

On June 4th, the EXO group resumed its activities.

And the hottest news on the peninsula in the past few days is nothing else, that is, Chi Jingyuan's "DOPE" direct shooting.

Since May 31, the number of hits on YouTube has approached 2 million, and it has become a topic of discussion in many forums.

The news continues to spread among fans and passers-by, and the popularity has also risen rapidly, from June 1 to yesterday, the number of hits per day has fluctuated around two or three million, of which the highest day is June 2, which day the number of hits reached the peak number of 370W.

In just three or four days, Chi Jingyuan's personal direct shot has more than 10 million hits, becoming the first personal direct shot of 10 million in the history of the peninsula.

This is already a terrible statistic, and the official MV of many less popular idol groups is far from reaching this number.

Even the clicks of the other five members of the EXO-K team have been rising, although they are not as exaggerated and terrifying as Ji Jingyuan, but in a few days, the clicks of several people have been around one million.

The explosive popularity not only makes this topic of direct shooting the focus of discussion among passers-by and fans in the entertainment section, but also makes Chi Jingyuan hang on the hot search to attract more people to watch, which has played a good publicity effect.

His direct pat is indeed very good, most of the people who watched it have given praise, and it has also made many people who were not felt by the previous team EXO or him vertically enter the Yuan pit, which has attracted a lot of new meals for him.

Just looking at it, many people found that EXO-K's "dope" stage was only a pitiful one, and they couldn't find it if they wanted to watch more stage videos or shoot directly, and they were dissatisfied and left messages on the official websites of SM and major TV stations, expressing their hope to see the stage of "dope".

And the company and the program team that were cue are also a little speechless, "DOPE" is a precursor song, it's OK to warm up all of a sudden, there are no plans to have a lot of performances, and the publicity resources are all given to the title song "Overdose", and now you are running over to see the stage of this song?

Isn't that what a strong man does?

The sound source of the song "DOPE" was officially re-topped to the first place on the music source list on June 4, and the counterattack of the sound source caused by the inexplicable personal direct shooting really surprised countless companies and artists in the industry.

Who would have thought that a straight shot after such a long time would suddenly become popular, and this song would also become popular.

Such a good demonstration is happening right in front of our eyes, and companies in the industry naturally hurry up to meet and discuss it, wanting to follow the same example as EXO's success this time.

I heard that when Infinite recorded "Popular Ballads" on June 1st, their company had already arranged for someone to shoot all the members directly under the stage, and posted it online after the show ended.

This wave of heat is really fast enough.

And in the days when EXO was holding a concert on Hong Kong Island, all the trophies of this week's singing show also had their own belongings.

Because they didn't show up at all, even if the heat was still very high, Team K didn't take all the ones like in the first week, and they only got three of the five places on the two small stations + the three major TV stations, and the two big and one small were all won by the infinite that returned last week.

The response to infinite's return this time is quite good, and it did give EX0-K, who returned a week early, a certain impact, but the data is actually far from the difference, but with the popularity of the first week, and the reason why the K team didn't play the song, they grabbed two places.

If the K-team doesn't play next week, they are expected to get more players.

It's a pity that the next concert will be on June 14th at the Natsu Kokue Castle Station, and EXO will stay on the peninsula until then.

In addition, Chi Jingyuan's direct shooting exploded, which caused great heat......

I don't know if Infinite's mood will be a little helpless.

And just when EXO started running again on June 5th, a strong news suddenly came.

Wu Saike, a member of the boy idol group BTS, officially filed a lawsuit with the Peninsula Supreme Court in Seoul on the morning of June 5 and submitted an application to rule that his contract with Bighit was invalid because he was dissatisfied with the unfair treatment of Xia Guo's artists, overworked and overwhelmed his body, uneven distribution of resources, being excluded and bullied by members, and having his income deducted and not having enough installation fees.
