“1，2，3……”

"Kimchi!"

Ji Kyung-won and Kim Jong-hyun stood together, compared to a scissor hand to the mobile phone lens held up in front of them, and took two selfies with a smile.

When I went to eat at noon today, I happened to meet a few brothers of SHINE in the company, and after chatting for a few words, I realized that Kim Jong-hyun was about to solo, and Zhong Hyun was also very enthusiastic after seeing Ji Jingyuan and called him to take the time to come to the practice room to play together, and by the way, give him some advice on the stage or something.

Originally, Ji Jingyuan was waiting in the practice room for a while Park Jae-hyun picked him up to open an advertising production meeting, but after thinking about it, he ran to Kim Jong-hyun's practice room to watch the excitement for a while, and he had a good relationship with this brother himself, and the other party wanted to solo him and take a photo with the other party, and it was good to help make a publicity by the way.

"Brother, when will you officially return?" After taking two selfies, Ji Jingyuan took the orange juice he had just given him, took a sip and asked.

"From the 7th to the 8th, the source of a recorded song will be released for warm-up promotion, and the official return is the 12th." Kim Jong-hyun, who had just finished dancing, had sweat on his forehead, and he gestured with his hand and said with a smile.

Kim Jong-hyun is really talented, this time he has a total of seven songs on his solo album, four of which are written by himself, and he also contributed a lot of self-composed songs to the company's music library, Ji Kyung-won remembers that when EXO selected songs for the new album last year, he saw two songs written and composed by Jong-hyun, and he was almost selected at that time.

"Number 12? Isn't that next week? Chi Jingyuan spread his hands when he heard this day: "Brother, you're not going to collide with Exid, they've been in a big trend lately." ”

Recently, the two hottest girl groups in the music industry, one is Atouchk, and the other is Exid.

Apink relied on "Luv" at the end of last year, and since their return on November 21, they have almost taken over all the singing shows for the whole month of December.

The reason for saying almost is that EXO snatched a trophy from them for "Music Bank" with "Let It Be", which made Apink's December results a little less than perfect. If it weren't for EXO's intervention, Apink would have achieved a very remarkable achievement: completely capturing all the hits in a calendar month.

Both Android and Apple are available. 】

This achievement is really amazing, and no group in the music industry has ever done this.

Because of this flaw, Zheng Endi called over two days ago and complained to Chi Jingyuan fiercely, but he was even more uncomfortable by Chi Jingyuan's schadenfreude.

Although I couldn't get this epic achievement by being robbed by XO, it just gave fans one less capital to brag about, but it was completely harmless for the results in general, relying on the strong monopoly in the back, Apink won a total of 17 songs with "LUV" this time, creating a record of one girl group playing songs.

Even Ji Jingyuan didn't expect their return momentum to be so strong this time, and the highest record of EXO so far is also 17 hits, which is still achieved by relying on last year's explosive "Roaring Filial Piety".

In addition to APINK, it was by relying on Hani's direct shooting sound source all the way retrograde, and was recalled to play the song Exid, their music source finally counterattacked to the top of the major charts at the end of last year, and in 15 years, it was also getting more and more popular, and on the 3rd, it just became an alternate, and it looks like it's about to become the next big trend, and I don't know if Kim Jong-hyun solo can beat them when he meets them.

"Hey, the Peninsula music industry is so big, but there are so many artists, no matter when they return, there are strong opponents, or do your best and make your music quality a little higher is the most important thing." Zhong Xuan waved his hand, looking like a senior who had come over, and said with great feeling.

"Brother, your consciousness is really high." Ji Jingyuan seemed to be dazzled by the holy light behind his head.

"Hahaha, that's so, it's nothing if the company wants me to hit EXID, but if you want me to hit your EXO, then I definitely don't want to, haha......"

After chatting with a smile for a while, Chi Jingyuan looked at the time, got up from the floor and patted his pants: "Brother, I'll go first...... When you return, I'll send ins to help you support. ”

"Thank you in advance!"

Waving goodbye, Ji Kyung-won said goodbye to Kim Jong-hyun, left his practice room and took the elevator up to the first floor, ready to go back to XO's practice room to rest for a while.

There is no one in the practice room at this time, except for Ji Jingyuan who wants to shoot the personal advertisement he just received, Bian Boxian and Kim Jong Dae have also gone to run their own personal schedules, and all the other members have gone to do LIV's live broadcast activities.

LIV This is a new group advertisement for their XO, in addition to the need to shoot related pictorials, in order to promote LIV, there is also a group live broadcast activity to do, the specific content is that five or six members go out to camp in tents together, do small games and chat, and promote LIV by the way.

Although Ji Jingyuan didn't go, he wanted to get the countless variety show cells of EXO members, and this thing must be boring to shoot.

Just out of the elevator and not walking two steps out, another elevator next to it also stopped on the third floor, the door opened with a 'ding' sound, and several familiar figures walked out of it in turn, Chi Jingyuan glanced at it casually, and found that it happened to be a few people from Red Velvet.

But this time they weren't four, they were five.

"So coincidentally?" After the elevator door opened, a few people who came to Debeibei looked up and saw Chi Jingyuan not far in front, and their eyes lit up, and Bae Zhuhyun quickly took two steps forward after getting off the elevator, with a good smile on his face, blinking his eyes and looking up at him.

"Jingyuan? Why are you alone here? Jiang Shiqi and Sun Shengwan also shook their hands with a smile, and walked over happily, it seemed that several people were in a good mood.

"I just went to Brother Zhong Xuan's practice room for a spin." Ji Jingyuan nodded and smiled at them, and then his eyes simply locked on the face of the girl who stood in the crowd and seemed to have seen two sides but had never been too impressed.

The long black hair is braided at the back of the head, and although he doesn't wear much makeup, his face is very white, and his skin is very good, and he looks pure and pure.

At this time, Chi Jingyuan looked at her, her big eyes also flashed and stood there looking at Chi Jingyuan, and it was not sneaky, as if it was 'even if you know, I have to look at you', but there is no such caution and embarrassment as many newcomers.

After looking at it twice, he lowered his head, leaned over to Bae Joo-hyun and whispered, "This is what you told me the day before yesterday, the new member of your group?" ”

Although Ji Jingyuan and Bae Joo-hyun have not met recently, but the two often use mobile phones to contact each other at night, two nights before Bae Joo-hyun told him two very important things, one is that the company has announced the next return with them, and Red Velvet has held several album production meetings with the producer and team in the past two days.

Ji Jingyuan had long known that there was nothing surprising about their return, but seeing that Pei Zhuhyun was so happy and excited when he said that he was returning on his mobile phone, he was actually quite happy for the other party.

However, it is indeed a good thing to be able to return, which means that the company has not given up the hope that their group is still on fire, but after two consecutive defeats, this return is really a crucial one for Laide Beibei, and even more important than the return of EXO this time, because the return of EXO this time only determines whether they can wash away the haze of last year and go further, and the return of Debeibei this time may largely determine whether the combination needs to continue to go.

If this time is the same as last year's two times, not only does there not have any splashes but also there is still a lot of scolding, then Red Velvet may really be more difficult in the future, even if it will not be disbanded, it is estimated that it will at least be hidden for a long time.

However, this kind of thing doesn't need Ji Jingyuan to remind him more, Pei Zhuyun and the others must be more or less clear in their hearts, and if they fail, they will talk about failures, at least for now, they should devote themselves to preparing with a better mood.

And the second thing is that Red Velvet has added a new member, which is the girl that Ji Jingyuan looked at just now.

"Inside, this is our new busy, Yilin, ah......" The sound and heat from very close range made Pei Zhuhyun's ears feel a little itchy, and after a small commotion in his heart, he quickly moved to the side to close the distance, and then beckoned to the back, and shouted in a cordial tone.

Jin Yilin heard that she took three steps and made two steps and rushed over to the side, looking at Chi Jingyuan curiously and expectantly, and smiled a little brightly: "Yuan senior Anihasai, I'm Jin Yilin yeri, I'm ...... Hee-hee-hee-hee......"

She looked at Chi Jingyuan and didn't know what she was happy about, she introduced herself and laughed as she spoke.

"Anihasai Yo ......" Ji Jingyuan squinted his eyes and nodded in greeting, looking at this red velvet's new busy.

Originally, Ji Jingyuan, a girl named Kim Ye-rim, didn't have a deep memory in his mind, but under Bae Joo-hyun's reminder, he remembered that he had met twice at the family concert, and the other party had a stage performance as a member of SM Rookies.

Unexpectedly, a few months later, Jin Yilin changed from a trainee to a new member of Red Velvet.

The first two times he met, Chi Jingyuan didn't care much, but this time he took a closer look, and found that this little girl was quite special, not as low-key and cramped as many combinations, but a little stronger, very cheerful and like to laugh, just saying hello has left a good impression on him.

I heard Pei Zhuhyun say that this girl seems to be 99 years old, although the age difference is a little big, but they were very familiar with each other when they were trainees before, and I heard her say that they used to take care of this little girl......

But 99 years, isn't that the same age as Zhou Ziyu?

When Ji Jingyuan thinks of this birth date, he always habitually equates it with a little kid, but Jin Yilin looks a little more mature than Zhou Ziyu.

Although the impression was good, Ji Jingyuan didn't say much, after all, she wasn't very familiar with her before, and she was just a newcomer, after nodding to Jin Yilin, Ji Jingyuan opened his legs and walked in the direction of the practice room, and Pei Zhuhyun also sped up, walking side by side next to him, the two were quite close, talking quietly as they walked.

"......" Jin Yilin blinked, watching her captain and XO's predecessor Yuan naturally walk together, walking side by side with a very intimate look, she opened her mouth and looked a little suddenly realized, pointing to their backs and asking tentatively at Jiang Shiqi next to her: "Ernie, they, should they ......?"

"Ani...... Not yet. Jiang Shiqi saw that there was some misunderstanding in Xinxin, and hurriedly waved his hand to deny it. However, remembering the situation he had peeked at recently, he hesitated for a moment and then added: "Not yet, but I can't say for sure in the future......"

I used to think that Bae Joo-hyun, Ernie and Ji Jingyuan, had a very special feeling when they got along, and they seemed to be very close and tacit.

And in the past two days, Bae Joo-hyun often suddenly went crazy in the dormitory at night, rolling around in bed and laughing non-stop, the first few times Jiang Shiqi didn't know what jokes she saw and made her so happy, and then secretly observed that this Ernie was messaging and chatting with people.

Although she didn't ask who it was, the other party probably wouldn't say it, but she was so smart that she guessed it, and it was very likely that it was Chi Jingyuan.

Jiang Shiqi felt that she guessed correctly, if she guessed wrong...... Then she really wants to look down on this Ernie......

"Hahaha......" Sun Sheng laughed when he heard it, and stretched out his hand to arch Jiang Shiqi.

"......" Jin Yilin seemed to understand something, nodded clearly, looked at their backs, followed the other sisters and followed in the direction of the practice room.

"Is the production meeting over?" Ji Jingyuan asked Bae Joo-hyun softly.

"It's been opened several times in the past few days, and it should be open for a few more days, but the general style and framework of this return have been decided, and our producers are quite good." Speaking of returning, Bae Joo-hyun's eyes bent, licked his lips and said briskly.

"What style?"

"Yes...... Don't tell you! Glancing at him proudly, Bae Joo-hyun giggled.

Seeing her so happy, Chi Jingyuan also shook his head and smiled.

"By the way......" he seemed to remember something, and asked closely, "You guys are in 99 years, right?" ”

"That's right." Brushing her hair, Bae Joo-hyun nodded naturally.

Chi Jingyuan hesitated, but still asked: "Then ...... Do you want to call you Ernie again? ”

"What do you mean? You ......" Pei Zhuyun was stunned for a moment, opened his mouth slightly and asked stupidly, and then reacted reluctantly halfway through speaking, a murderous aura instantly appeared in his eyes, glared at Ji Jingyuan and shouted angrily: "Ah, Ji Jingyuan, you ......"

As she spoke, she slapped her hand, but Chi Jingyuan had expected it and sped up directly, and walked forward two meters just to the door of EXO's practice room, turned around and smiled at her, then opened the door and rushed in to close the door, patted his butt and disappeared.

Bae Joo-hyun looked at the closed door of the exo practice room angrily, hesitated for a moment for fear that there were other people inside and didn't push it open in the end, she exhaled a few breaths and remembered Ji Jingyuan's sloppy appearance just now, and laughed angrily when she thought about it.

"Ernie, what's wrong? What about Jingyuan? At this time, Jiang Shiqi and the others in the back walked up, looking strangely at Pei Zhuhyun, whose chest was a little undulating, they didn't hear what the two were talking about in the back, only to see Ji Jingyuan trotting open the door and leaving.

"Whew...... It's okay, he went in first. In front of her own members, Bae Joo-hyun still seemed to pay a little attention to her image, she glanced at it and brushed her hair, too lazy to care about the annoying person, laughed and talked to the members about something else, while walking towards the practice room.

I happened to meet Bae Joo-hyun and a few people made Ji Kyung-won feel good at this time, and after sitting in the practice room for a while, he received a call from Park Jae-hyun, he packed up his things and went downstairs to the parking lot, got into the nanny car and drove towards the place agreed by the advertising agency.

They will first go to the advertising agency for a production meeting, determine the plan and process of shooting the commercial, and then go directly to the studio to start the official shooting.

As soon as they started the car, a nanny car had stopped in the parking lot of the advertising agency, and the agent sitting in the car was telling Kim Jisoo some things at the end:

"Jisoo, when I go to see the PD, they remember to be polite, especially the partner, that is, Chi Jingyuan's side, this case company spent a lot of resources to get it for you, and you also participated in the audition, knowing that the competition is very fierce."

The agent paused, observed Kim Jisoo's expression through the rearview mirror, and then said a more secret news: "I heard a senior from the advertising company tell me before, saying that Yuan's agent was not very happy after hearing that this advertisement was cooperating with trainees, and the relationship between SM and our company itself is relatively general, at that time, my senior said that looking at his expression, it looks like he wants to raise an opinion to veto you, the core of this advertisement is Yuan, as long as the other party speaks, Whether it is a brand or an advertising agency, it must be agreed...... It's just that I don't know why I didn't continue to dwell on this issue later. “

"Recently, Chi Jingyuan has really become popular, EXO you know, he has a lot of fans and is also favored by the brand, the influence of "Unborn" is still there, and the opportunity to cooperate with him to shoot advertisements is really rare, if the advertisement is filmed well this time, it will gain more exposure than your previous ones combined, which will be very helpful for your future debut."

"Take care of it."

Kim Jisoo sat in the back row, listening carefully to the agent's advice, his lips unconsciously raised slightly, looking a little dumbfounded.

After listening to this, she blinked and laughed, and patted the back seat very familiarly:

"I see, don't worry, Oba."
