Chapter 55: The Forbidden Drug Gate
"What company are you?"
Ji Jingyuan looked at the man and interrupted him before he could finish speaking.
“…… I'm XXX Entertainment. ”
The man hesitated for a moment, and soon continued to smile brightly, and at the same time took out a business card and handed it to Chi Jingyuan: "I'm Liu Fan, this is my business card, Mr. Chi should have heard of our company, right?" We are very powerful in the mainland, especially in the film and television industry, we have a wide network of contacts, in order to show our sincerity, Mr. Li specially said that he would take out the main coffee of A-level film production as a meeting gift, and ensure that there will be no less than two TV series every year, and the artists we cooperate with are also ......"
Chi Jingyuan did not stop but kept moving forward, and Liu Fan also followed him step by step, and expressed his sincerity very enthusiastically when he introduced his company.
"Do you have any information?"
Chi Jingyuan glanced at him, and at the same time lifted the take-out bag in his hand and shook it, "You can also see that I am in a hurry to go back, but if you keep following, it will be easy for people in our company to see it...... If you have any information, just give it to me, I'll take a good look at it when I go back, and if I'm interested, I'll call you, how about it? ”
"Okay, okay, this is the information we specially prepared, including some of our company's works and commitments are on it, Mr. Chi must remember to call me if he is interested."
Liu Fan nodded again and again when he heard this, and then took out a stack of bound A4 paper from the document bag he was carrying and handed it to Chi Jingyuan.
"Then I'll go first."
Ji Jingyuan accepted it and put it in his shoulder bag, nodded at him and quickened his pace.
"Mr. Chi walks slowly......"
Bidding farewell to Liu Fan, Chi Jingyuan walked into the hotel and entered the elevator, sighed and shook his head gently after pressing the floor.
This is not the first time he has been poached by Xia Guo's brokerage company, since the explosion of "The Inheritors" last year, someone secretly approached him from time to time when Xia Guo was active, and some even went directly to the peninsula to squat at him to show sincerity.
Chi Jingyuan is very popular in the mainland because of the TV series and EXO, and he studied and lived in Xia Guo for several years when he was a child, and his fluency in Chinese makes the mainland rice and passers-by very close, and he is not from the peninsula, although these mainland economic companies do not know his family situation, but it is rumored that he also has some Chinese ancestry, so because Chi Jingyuan is simply a pure gold mine for these companies.
Until this year, as EXO became more and more popular, these entertainment economy companies came a lot more frequently, and the promises and sincerity given were more exaggerated than the other.
If it weren't for Chi Jingyuan, who had seen the world, he would have been knocked out by them a long time ago.
Walked out of the elevator to the door of the room, he didn't bother to take the card, he knocked on the door directly, and soon Wu Shixun came over to open the door, looked at him and asked casually:
"Why is it so slow?"
"You're done calling? I thought you'd have to fight for hours. When he walked into the room, he put the bag on the table, didn't answer the other party's question, and went to wash his hands first.
"Where does it take so long, in fact, I have long wanted to hang up......"
Wu Shixun replied, walked to the table and looked at the contents of the bag curiously, then suddenly thought of something, turned around and looked at the direction of the toilet suspiciously: "By the way, why have I never seen you call a female ticket, this is one of the homework that couples in a relationship must do, could it be that you are really single now?" ”
"I said it before, you still don't believe ......"
After drying his hands, Chi Jingyuan walked out, glanced at him, opened the bag, took out the bag that had been packed separately, and handed it to Wu Shixun: "I brought it to you, you take it to Brother Xiu and they will divide it." ”
"It's very authentic spicy hot, you can't eat it in Seoul at all, if it weren't for my good-hearted heart and poor you, you wouldn't have this kind of luck in your life."
"Ma ~ Spicy ~ Hot ~" Wu Shixun said again in broken Chinese, raised an eyebrow at him with some joy, opened the door with the bag and walked out: "Thank you." ”
Chi Jingyuan pulled over a stool and sat at the table, and while starting to eat his share, he took out the document that Liu Fan gave him just now and looked through it casually.
The sincerity is really enough, there are all kinds of names, and the sky is blowing, just the number of assistants and security guards guaranteed in the plan surprised him, and the back is to plan a road to the sky for Chi Jingyuan to become an actor.
If what is written above is true.
It's a pity that he has no interest.
After flipping through it a few times, he put the file away, and it was better not to show this kind of thing in front of the members, even if the relationship was good.
Anyway, he often receives this kind of poaching invitation, so I don't know if the other members have encountered it, especially the ones in Xia Guoline, which should be very sought-after objects logically, because EXO is really popular in the mainland, and the BTS where Wu Saike stayed is far from being a grade.
Wu can get favor and so many resources, not to mention XO people.
However, this kind of thing is considered by the company and is not something he should care about, and Chi Jingyuan can only make his own decisions and can't control other people's thoughts.
It's just that it's better to have fewer people like Wu.
Anyway, this spicy tang is really delicious.
Chi Jingyuan took the fast son to eat hotly, because the spicy taste was a little rushing, smacking his mouth, his head also began to sweat, he looked left and right, a big stride to the side of the Xiaoice box took a cold beer over, opened it and poured two sips, and sighed pleasantly.
"Cool!"
It's a pity that it will be difficult to eat after leaving tomorrow, and I don't know if the owner of this restaurant has any thoughts of opening a branch in the peninsula......
…………
Early the next morning, EXO left the mountain city and flew to Shonan, and went to Shonan TV to record "Quick Book" in advance.
The recording was mainly a stage performance, with a total of two songs, "Addicted" and "Moonlight", one of the mini-two songs.
This "Moonlight" is also a non-title song that Chi Jingyuan likes very much, and like last year's "Butterfly Girl", I felt that the song was very good when I learned it.
If you take a closer look, you will find that the quality of the non-main songs in their EXO albums is quite high, especially this mini-second album, except for the two songs with the main song level, the other lyrical songs included are all excellent works, such as "Thunder", "Moonlight", these songs are very good.
It's no wonder that in many music forums, especially in fan discussion groups, most people have praised XO for this mini two, thinking that the quality is very high, and that many songs can be looped in a single song.
In comparison, the title song "Overdose" is a little general, and it seems that it can't cover the other included songs.
This time, the stage of "Quick Book" is all dominated by Team M, and Team K plays as an assistant, and the whole process is the Xia Wen version sung.
After the recording was completed, EXO split into two teams on June 30th, Team M returned to the peninsula with the team, and Team K flew directly to Hong Kong Island, where there will be a 'Hong Kong Dome Music Festival' tomorrow with Team K's stage performance.
Not long after they took off, another powerful news broke on the Al Jazeera network.
According to media reports, Park Chun, a member of the girl group 2NE1, was suspected of smuggling banned drugs from the United States back to the peninsula, which immediately caused an uproar among the people, and the topic of Park Chun's taking banned drugs fermented for a while.
2NE1 is a well-known first-line girl group in the Peninsula, in terms of popularity or sales in all girl groups on the Peninsula can be said to be only under the Girls' Generation, the songs and typhoons with great characteristics and strong styles make them have a large number of very loyal fan groups, since their debut in 09, they have existed as a strong competitor of Girls' Generation for several years, and they are one of the most popular groups in the second generation of girl groups on the Peninsula.
In 13 years, 2NE1 was widely questioned because of poor results, but the strong return of the regular second album "crush" not long ago 14 years ago made their sales, and all the music sources rejuvenated.
However, 2NE1's results this time are already very good, and they are the same as Girls' Generation. "Returning one after another, it can't be said that they crashed into them in the return period, but the results in many aspects, including the sound source, have suppressed the old opponent of the young time to some extent.
And now that 2NE1 is on its second world tour, I didn't expect such an unexpected news to break out.
This news fermented very quickly, and I don't know where to start, and the spread of 'smuggling of banned drugs' evolved into Park Chun being a reader.
At present, the news is still spreading rapidly, and when Chi Jingyuan went online, he found that most of the forums on the peninsula were discussing this matter, and the popularity of Bian Boxian's love before suddenly dropped a lot.
Now it's actually just a report, there is no solid evidence, the police are not involved, and the parties have not replied, but the wind of public opinion has begun to shift a little, and many netizens have begun to question and blame Pu Chun.
By the time they landed, the situation on the Internet had already looked a little bad, but YG and Park Chun still did not give a positive response or reply.
I don't know what I'm doing.
On July 1st, the 'Hong Kong Island Dome Music Festival' was held at the Runway Park of Kai Tak Airport, and EXO-K participated as an invited guest, with a large stage with a total of five songs.
"wolf", "roaring", "Thunder", "ineedu" and "Addicted" add up to nearly twenty minutes of performance time.
In addition to EXO-K, the guests of this performance include the local band 'MR.' and the boy group infinite, while everyone else is SM artists, including SJ-M, shinee, fx, henry, and BOA.
If you don't know this lineup, you thought it was an SMtown family concert.
EXO-K met the company's seniors at the back of the festival stage, and it was the first time that they didn't bother to run out because they checked into the hotel late yesterday.
After chatting with the members of boa and shinee for a while, I saw several people from FX coming over, starting with Choi Xueli, followed by luna and Zheng Xiujing, and then two others.
"Aren't you hot wearing this kind of hat now?"
Chi Jingyuan glanced at them, his eyes stayed on Cui Xueli and Zheng Xiujing's heads, and smacked his lips: "It looks a bit like an old man's hat ......"
Both of them wore thick knitted hats on their heads, one black and the other dark red, and they looked very warm at first glance, but it was already July.
"Ah, Jingyuan, you also think it's ugly, don't you! I don't think it's good-looking, either! But this was arranged by Cody Ernie...... It's really hot indoors, I'm almost sweating, but it's okay outside, it's not cooling down these days. ”
Cui Xueli smiled and said to Chi Jingyuan with a smile and then frowned and nodded vigorously, shaking her head as if she wanted to shake off the knitted hat, but unfortunately she wore it very tightly and didn't move.
Zheng Xiujing didn't squeak, she also pouted and raised her eyes to look at the hat, which looked quite awkward.
"That's right, the temperature has dropped a lot here."
Chi Jingyuan remembered that there have been typhoons in Southeast Asia recently, and many places, including Hong Kong Island, have been raining and cooling down recently.
Today's weather was a bit overcast, and although it didn't rain when he came, he saw a lot of people watching the festival wearing raincoats from the windows of the bus.
After smiling and greeting Cui Xueli, he looked at Zheng Xiujing next to him: "Didn't you say that the style of this return is very special?" The seventh is back, how can it still be like this. ”
"Do you still know that our No. 7 is back......" Zheng Xiujing glanced at him: "The company didn't let me announce the style in advance, so Cody Ernie dyed it back for me." ”
At the end, she also added: "The seventh is the official return of the released album, but the first stage is on the third day." ”
Although there are occasional phone calls, Ji Jingyuan and Zheng Xiujing haven't seen each other for a long time, but they are not very unfamiliar.
The relationship between the two is quite strange, but it seems natural in the strange.
After chatting for a while, it was soon two o'clock in the afternoon, when the festival was about to officially open.
However, in the previous half hour, the observatory had already issued the No. 3 strong wind signal, indicating that there was a possibility of heavy rain in the future, which would have a great impact on the open-air music festival.
Most of the nearly 20,000 spectators in attendance had no intention of leaving, and a considerable number of them had already put on their raincoats and were ready to enjoy the show in the rain.
The enthusiasm really didn't say, and the organizers dispelled the idea of temporarily postponing or canceling it, and held it as scheduled.
Hong Kong Island's local band "Mr." took the lead in making a good start, but unfortunately not long after they started singing, the sky changed color and began to rain, and the rain became heavier and heavier, obscuring their vision a little.
However, the fans below don't seem to be affected much, and the atmosphere is still very strong and cheering.
The heavy rain came quickly, and after a while, it went quickly, and it didn't take long for it to get much lighter, and by the time EXO came out, there were no raindrops at all.
Team K's appearance on the scene really caused a burst of enthusiastic screams, but these five songs danced in a row and really made six people tired to death.
Even if the concert is at most two or three songs sung continuously, and then you have to enter the solo or special stage to let people take a break, everyone's physical strength is limited, and it is very long to support such a long period of high-intensity singing and dancing.
But this time, except for a ten-second greeting session in the middle, today's stage is completely five songs without interruption.
Ji Jingyuan and Do Junxiu, as the lead singers of Team K, are still the two with the most parts, not only dancing but also singing, and by the time of the fourth song "ineedu", Ji Jingyuan actually had no strength.
He didn't know how he survived the last song "Addiction", gritted his teeth and tried to complete the whole stage without deforming his movements, and just after the curtain call, a few of the members couldn't stand still and collapsed, while Chi Jingyuan pinched his waist and stood with his head down, panting heavily.
It's so tiring.
The agent and assistant who had been waiting for a long time hurriedly arrived and put them all on the chairs, and after waiting for two minutes, they took a few bottles of mineral water and twisted them open and handed them over.
The short twenty-minute performance felt much more tiring than their more than one-hour concert.
The festival starts at 2 o'clock and ends at 6 o'clock, a total of four hours to keep the audience entertained.
After that, everyone returned to the hotel, and EXO-K flew back to the peninsula the next day to join Team M.
The EXO group was invited to be one of the ambassadors for FashionKODE 2014, the other being the well-known Peninsula actress Bae Doona.
According to the organizers of FashionKODE, "In order to expand the awareness of FashionKODE as a fashion culture festival and increase the participation of customers and visitors, Bae Doona and EXO, who are at the center of the Korean Wave, have been specially appointed as ambassadors. Next, EXO and Bae Doona will meet everyone in FashionKODE's promotional video and various events. ”
Since 2013, FashionKODE has been hosted annually by the Peninsula's official Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, and is a fashion festival that integrates new concepts such as the presentation of well-known designs and brands from inside and outside the peninsula, fashion ordering, and fashion shows.
This year's FashionKODE will be held on July 16th.
All activities related to fashion are considered sweet and sweet for Peninsula artists, both men and women, and after mixing up or making a name for themselves, getting some big-name cooperation can bring great benefits to themselves.
Many members of XO are very interested in this aspect, such as Kim Jong-in, Oh Se-hoon, these are all like this, and they like to do some distinctive outfits in private, and they are usually happy to take on the fashion trip.
Ji Jingyuan is okay, although he is quite popular with the peninsula fashion industry, but he feels that his private fashion is a little different from those designers.
At the root, the philosophy is a little different.
In the next few days, they have been busy shooting FashionKODE's VCR and promotional videos, as well as carrying out some kinds of promotional activities.
On the other hand, FX released the preview sound sources of the two songs included in the album on June 30 and July 1, but soon news spread on the Internet, KBS refused to let it appear on the stage of this week's "Music Bank" because it contained sensitive words in the title song "RedLight" of FX's return.
This news has caused a lot of discussion among people, thinking that there are any margins or hints in the lyrics of this song.
However, SM soon issued an announcement, and the lyrics of "RedLight" mentioned a specific product of Caterpillar, a heavy equipment manufacturer, which KBS considered to have advertising intentions, so it was judged to be unqualified.
KBS, as a state-run television station, has the strictest censorship, and "Music Bank" is also the most noteworthy of all singing programs, and it does not allow lyrics such as advertisements, alcohol names, and so on in the songs participating in the program.
In order not to affect FX's return to the stage of "Music Bank" this week, it was seized to resubmit the suspected lyric changes for review, and it was quickly approved.
The Peninsula media dug up the specific process of this incident, saying that Park Chun received a package from the United States in October 2010, which was seized with banned drugs on the Peninsula, and the police launched an investigation into Park Chun at that time, but the investigation was terminated at the end of November of the same year, and the news was not released at that time.
I guess it was pressed by YG.
Later, the economic company YG responded: "Although those drugs are prohibited drugs in the Peninsula, they are normal prescription drugs in the United States, and Park Chun was traumatized because he witnessed his friend's accident on the sports field, and he has been taking prescription drugs prescribed by doctors in the United States for a long time, and because he did not know that the drug was listed as a prohibited drug in the Peninsula, he sent them back to his family in ignorance." ”
Park Chun also came forward to explain what happened, but unfortunately the effect was minimal and did not stop the continued expansion of public opinion, and the wind of public opinion has been unconsciously deviated, many people have been affected by the previous report and began to blame and abuse her with indignation, and Park Chun began to be boycotted.
Although YG has not yet officially announced it, it is difficult for Park Chun to continue his activities due to this trend and direction, at least during this period of time when the popularity has not yet stopped.
Because of this incident, 2NE1, which has just rejuvenated this year, has been greatly affected, and the star journey that has just expanded has suddenly darkened a lot.
In their fan club, there is a message of worry:
"This year's return won't be the last time 2NE1 returns, right?"
It may seem magical, but it's also very likely to be a prophecy.
…………
"Anihassai, I'm the ambassador for FashionKODE 2014, Yuan from EXO."
"It's a great honor to choose EXO as our ambassador for FashionKODE."
Today is July 3rd, and Chi Jingyuan is smiling at the camera while he is smiling and speaking in the studio where the promotional video is being filmed.
At this time, he was surrounded by a staff member, and he was the third of the twelve people to be interviewed and recorded, and the other members stood opposite Ji Jingyuan and watched his interview with a smile.
Although it was an interview, there was no host, but the field attendant on the opposite side held up a sign with a good question, and Chi Jingyuan made his own answer after seeing it.
"What style does Yuanxi like?"
"The more casual style, on the basis of comfort and naturalness, to show the characteristics of different others, is my favorite fashion."
"What's the main place to shop?"
Seeing this question, he couldn't help but pause.
A large part of his private clothes are co-branded models of neon animation, and many of them are obtained from special channels through family relationships over there, and many of them are not sold in the market.
Ji Jingyuan also doesn't go to the mall often to shop, and every season the new clothes brand will be delivered to their home on time for them to choose from, and if necessary, just a phone call.
But he is already an experienced artist, and this kind of problem is not difficult for him.
"Well, everywhere, the brand has nothing to do with the price...... As long as you like it, you will want to buy it. ”
It's the same as not saying it.
"What's your favorite color?"
"Black and white."
Facing the camera, Chi Jingyuan chuckled.
Have you ever seen my shoulder bag, black and white dragon, handsome.
