"What's the use of you?"

Zhou Ziyu, who was sitting on the bed in the bedroom wearing a mask and not missing any opportunity to work hard to whiten, saw the words displayed on the screen and froze for a moment, and then wrinkled his nose in the next second, and the originally flat blue mask had some folds, stared at the mobile phone angrily, and quickly tapped the screen with both hands and entered a line of words: "Why are you so ......"

It's just halfway through typing, but her hand stopped, paused for a moment, and then quickly clicked back, erasing all the words just typed, thinking for a few seconds, she pursed her lips softly, and replied to the other one: "Then do you want me to help you ask?" ”

Although she didn't know very well, Zhou Ziyu felt that her mother should know, and after knowing that Chi Jingyuan ran to the bend to find a place to eat supper, as half of the host, she suddenly had a warm sense of mission in her heart, and felt that she should play a positive role in guiding Chi Jingyuan's bend trip.

It's a pity that two pieces of news came a few seconds later, which made her a little excited:

"Forget it, the members checked on the Internet and have found the place,"

"Let's not talk about it yet."

"Cut."

Some cold words instantly dispelled the enthusiasm in his heart, even if he was wearing a mask, Zhou Ziyu couldn't help but pout, snorted lightly, threw the phone on the quilt on the side, picked up a fat doll placed at the head of the bed and fiddled with it.

It's just that in less than two minutes, she glanced at the mobile phone not far away from time to time, and there was always an urge to pick up the mobile phone and send a message to ask what Ji Jingyuan was eating now.

Twenty minutes later, Zhou Ziyu took her mobile phone to the bathroom and took off the mask and gently washed her face, just when she wiped her face with a towel, the mobile phone next to her suddenly rang twice, she hurriedly picked up the phone, and unsurprisingly, found that it was a message from Chi Jingyuan.

Click on it to see a lot of pictures of late-night snacks.

Braised pork rice, meatballs, and fried oysters, each of which is a well-known local delicacy, and it is something that Zhou Ziyu often eats before he came to the peninsula.

Looking at a warm smile on her face, the little dimple jumped out mischievously, but there was a slight distraction in her eyes as if she had fallen into a memory.

A few seconds later, I received another one, a selfie.

In the photo, Chi Jingyuan looked at the camera, smiling and eating a round dumpling, enjoying the appearance that looked very fragrant, which made people can't help but salivate.

Zhou Ziyu knew at a glance that he was eating roasted mochi, a very common street food in the crooked area.

The smile returned to her face, and she picked up her phone and typed quickly: "It looks so delicious, I want to eat it too (drooling)." ”

"I won't give it to you."

"Cut."

Chi Jingyuan's reply was very fast, still not as she expected, Zhou Ziyu snorted lightly after seeing it, but it was obviously much happier than the one just now.

…………

Early the next morning, SM Company's team rushed to Hsinchu County Stadium for early rehearsals and rehearsals.

This is the first SM family concert held in 2015, but it is still one of the fourth SM town world tours held since last year.

Ji Jingyuan still has a duet with Sun Shengwan's "All for You", as well as a collaboration stage with Sun Shengwan, Luna, and Henrry.

As one of the main players, EXO's stage performance is no different from last year, except for the members who have a lot of collaborative performances, the XO group has a stage with six songs, the only difference is that this year's "Addiction" has been replaced by "call me baby".

I have participated in four shows last year, and the specific stage and process are very similar, everyone is actually very familiar with it, the morning rehearsal is quickly completed, and all the idols of the rest event get together in twos and threes, waiting for a while for lunch and a second rehearsal in the afternoon.

Chi Jingyuan and a few members of the group sat down casually in the stands on the left side of the stage, looking condescendingly at the busy staff on the other side of the stage and the scenery in the venue, while fiddling with their mobile phones and texting Zhou Ziyu.

It seems that Chi Jingyuan came to the bend, Zhou Ziyu became a little active and enthusiastic after knowing it, after she was angry and greedy with food last night, she took the initiative to send a message this morning, but EXO has been rehearsing just now and has no chance to reply, so it is not easy to be idle at this time.

Ji Jingyuan looked at the text message she sent before, and replied casually: "Started recording?" ”

Just now, Zhou Ziyu took the initiative to mention their survival talent show, and after preparing for so long, they finally started to officially record.

"Yes, after selecting a good person for a period of time, the company started special training, and then I have been practicing the opening dance, and the day before yesterday I finally started to shoot makeup photos and record the opening dance, and after the opening, we will start to officially record the program and grouping."

"I heard from the head of the room that it should be officially broadcast in May, and one or two episodes may be recorded before the broadcast."

Feeling that Zhou Ziyu seemed to be under a lot of pressure, there was obviously some desire to talk at this time, Ji Jingyuan happened to be happy, and looked up at the side who seemed to be arguing over who played "League of Legends" last time. ”

"Well, the rules of the show are out......"

"It's this survival talent show that will divide all the trainees into two groups, namely the major group, and the minor group, and then there will be a task for us to complete in each issue, and Park Jin-young PD will be regrouped according to everyone's results, and those who perform well will go to major, and those who perform badly will go to minor."

"And every issue will eliminate one person from minor, only the few who survive to the last can make their debut, super cruel!"

'major, professional'

'Minor, a few minor? ’

Chi Jingyuan silently recited the names of these two groups, tasted the elimination rules of this survival program, and couldn't help but nod his head to confirm Zhou Ziyu's statement, every issue has to divide people to the 'poor student group', and one person has to be eliminated, which is indeed quite cruel.

Especially the participants are all teenage trainees, like Zhou Ziyu in 99 is sixteen or seventeen years old this year, I heard that there are post-00s who are several years younger than her, so these little children were suddenly selected to compete with each other and then cruelly eliminated one by one.

Almost every performance of this show is related to the hard work and sweat of several years of practice, and once the opportunity to make his debut will disappear in an instant, just thinking about it makes me feel quite torturous.

But then again, the song industry on the peninsula is so cruel, ordinary people can enter a large company as a trainee is a few, and there are only a handful of people who can stick to a few years of trainee career and successfully debut, and even if they make a successful debut, it is completely rare to be able to have a name and popularity, and become a first-line group or even a top ToP group, and it has a lot to do with the company's operation and luck.

The competition is really fierce.

EXO was selected from among the many young male trainees of SM Company, and although Ji Jingyuan did not experience the hardships and hardships at that time, he could hear from time to time that some members reminisced and complained about the time when the selection competition was in the first place, and from their tones, he could imagine how cruel it must have been.

This is also the reason why Chi Jingyuan has just joined the company, because the identity of the 'Airborne Troops' is very unpopular with some people, and the more he has that experience, the more he hates this kind of relationship.

To be honest, it's actually good to let these female trainees get in touch with the truth of the circle as soon as possible, and if they are eliminated, or understand that they are not suitable for this industry, they should change companies earlier to seek other opportunities to make their debut, or simply leave the circle to change careers or go to school, which can be regarded as a stop loss in advance.

But if it's Zhou Ziyu......

Thinking of his 'little' friend, Chi Jingyuan's previous freedom in his heart became a little dry, and he looked at the mobile phone screen for a few seconds and fell into silence.

“…… There is absolutely no problem with Assi's handing my Amumu, your Ezreal will hide behind and watch, and there is no one at all, blame me? ”

Park Chanyeol's somewhat excited voice came into his ears, which brought Ji Jingyuan back to his senses, he turned his head and glanced at the two people who seemed to be about to fight more and more, Wu Shixun, who was standing next to him and kept arching the fire, and Do Junxiu, who was smiling and watching the excitement.

After watching them quietly for a few seconds, Chi Jingyuan lowered his head and typed: "How many people are there in your show?" How many people can make their debut at the end? ”

"Sixteen, didn't I tell you?"

Hearing this question, Zhou Ziyu seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly followed another message: "There are sixteen people in total, the name of our show is called "Sixteen", and it seems to be 7 people when I make my debut in the end, I remember what the head of the room said." ”

"Wow, the others are really good, there are a few girls who are obviously valued by the company and the teachers, and some have been practicing for 10 years! Ten years...... However, there are people who have only been practicing for a year, so I think I should be considered average......"

"By the way, my makeup photos have been taken, do you want to see them?"

When Chi Jingyuan read the first two text messages, he was still thinking that the name "Sixteen" was really random enough to be named directly after the number of people, and at the same time, he was also thinking about the mechanism of choosing seven out of sixteen, when the chance was relatively high, Zhou Ziyu's last message was sent.

He smiled when he saw it, and without thinking about it, he directly sent a "don't look" to the past, but he didn't expect to send it just one second ago, and the other party sent the photo the next second.

If you want to send it, why do you have to ask, it's really too much.

Sure enough, Zhou Ziyu was a little dissatisfied after seeing 'not looking', and sent an expression:

(glaring).

Ji Jingyuan ignored her and looked at the makeup photo selfie she sent.

The light during the shooting was a little distorted, and he couldn't tell whether Zhou Ziyu's obviously dyed hair was red or brown, wearing a cropped black vest and two metal chains around his neck, and he didn't know what style and intention it was.

In the photo, after putting on makeup, she opened her eyes vigorously at the camera, slightly sideways her face and smiled, as if she was trying to make herself shoot beautifully, and at the same time concave an idol style, but I don't know why Chi Jingyuan can always feel a silly feeling on her face.

"This is the look that cody from JYP gave you?"

"yes, what do you think (smiley)?"

"How do you feel so earthy, is JYP originally this aesthetic?"

“……”

"(Angry)."

Chi Jingyuan's true senses did not satisfy Zhou Ziyu, but may have annoyed her a little, and she couldn't say a word for a long time after returning her expression.

"Hey Yigu, why are you sitting here, we went around for a long time before we came up......"

Just when he complained that this little fart couldn't hear the truth, several familiar but slightly panting voices, as well as some heavy footsteps came from a distance at the same time, interrupting Park Chanyeol and Bian Baekxian, who were arguing endlessly with facts and reasoning, and also attracted Ji Jingyuan's attention.

When I looked up, it was a few people from the senior group SJ, Donghae, Eunhyuk, Prodigy and Lit, and several other EXO members such as Kim Junmian were also following, and the group walked towards this side with a smile.

Among them, the prodigy also carried a video camera, dressed as a VJ.

"This scenery is good, and it is very comfortable to blow the wind." Chi Jingyuan stood up and greeted these brothers with a smile, then glanced at the fully armed prodigy, and said curiously: "Brother, are you shooting here?" ”

"The location doesn't matter, you can go anywhere, as long as people come."

The prodigy waved his hand to indicate that this was all secondary, and then looked at a few people from EXO with some exaggeration, "wuli XO is really hot now, and I couldn't find time at all before, that is, today's SM town can be a little empty." ”

"Indeed, it's really the general trend." Li Donghai also praised it a little, and complained a little: "So we haven't had one of them until now." ”

"Hahaha......"

"Ani, Ani, that's too exaggerated." EXO laughed when he heard this, and quickly shook his hand to deny it, and Jin Junmian was a little overwhelmed and lifted the prodigy's arm on his shoulder, and hurriedly explained.

A few people from SJ came to EXO to help shoot the MV.

D&E, a team composed of SJ Donghae and Eunhyuk, released their first mini album on March 9 and returned at the same time as EXO, but the response can only be described as mediocre, and it is basically completely covered up by EXO's "call me baby".

These two brothers may be because they like it, or they may be to give back to their fans, and they want to shoot a MV for some of the songs included in the album and put them on the Internet to cooperate with the re-release album released on the 24th for some promotion.

It's a pity that SM Company is obviously not very optimistic about their team, and the investment in various resources is not much, and even the application for reshooting the MV has not been agreed.

However, SJ is a senior who has debuted for so many years, and he is no longer a newcomer who does what the company says, and they do it themselves without giving them resources, and they mobilize many friends they know in the company to be actors.

They asked EXO to shoot a song called "can you feel it", which they had already told Ji Jingyuan a few days ago, but EXO was very busy at the time and couldn't make a mistake.

I heard that they are not only looking for EXO, but almost all the combinations of the entire company have been searched by them, even BOA, which is very senior, and red velvet, who has just debuted, is no exception.

No one will refuse this kind of trivial matter that the seniors of the company will help casually, anyway, it's just one or two shots.

"It's very simple, it's chen, Chanyeol, the four of you are standing here and dancing, it's the same ...... that I demonstrated to you before" A few people just found an open space next to the stands and started filming, PD prodigy talked about the process, and at the same time put two hands on his head, stretched out his index finger and kept shaking, and his body jumped twice to give them a demonstration.

He himself was fat, jumped up on the spot, the fat on his body and face swayed, and when his index finger was swinging like rabbit ears on his head, his expression was very serious and serious, no matter how he looked at it, it was very awkward.

"Brother who knows, we have practiced it in private." The prodigy's appearance was really funny, and several people laughed.

“OK！” The prodigy didn't care about the two gestures, looked at Chi Jingyuan and said: "Then Jingyuan, you will appear in front of the camera from the left and cross over, no need to jump, just make a gesture with two hands on your head." ”

"I see." Ji Jingyuan smiled and gestured to two times.

It's really simple, just one shot, there is no difficulty standard and it is very low, the only requirement is to look like you are playing crazy, the crazier the better.

It only took a minute or two to shoot each time, and the prodigy PD shouted after shooting two or three times, and after looking at the shot with Donghai Yinhe, he smiled with satisfaction, and began to pat Ji Jingyuan and several people on the shoulder with gratitude, and praised their acting skills with greasy mouths.

"Don't just talk about it, brother, invite us to have a meal together when you have time." Jin Junmian didn't eat this set, and made a request with a smile.

"No problem, pick a good place for what you want to eat, just call Yinhe to pay for it after eating." Li Donghai gestured, and lightly helped Yinhe, who didn't say a word, to take care of it.

Several people laughed and chatted in the stands for a while, and a few minutes later, there was a crisp sound of footsteps, and Chi Jingyuan looked sideways, only to see the five people of Red Velvet walking in a row, five dazzling blonde hair seemed to be shining in the sun.

Just walked two steps, Bae Joo-hyun, who was originally in second place, seemed to notice something, obviously slowed down a little and soon fell to the last.

She followed Park Xiurong in front of her and was blocked tightly, lowered her head and quickly pulled her hands in front of her head twice, brushing the golden bangs that were originally gathered in front of her forehead to the sides of her cheeks, holding her forehead and shaking it vigorously before she raised her head and walked over quickly.

Today's Red Velvet performance costume is just the one in "Ice Cream Cake", Bae Joo-hyun, who has changed her clothes, wears a golden ponytail and flicks it when she walks, the plain blue sweater has yellow and blue striped sleeves, and under the white shorts is a pair of smooth legs, and a pair of small white shoes under the blue and white striped waist socks, which looks refreshing and has a youthful and lively feeling.

To be honest, in the MV of "Ice Cream Cake", Ji Kyung-won thinks that Bae Joo-hyun looks best in this dress.

"You're also called to shoot the music video?"

After Red Velvet and the seniors said hello and chatted with a smile, Bae Joo-hyun took the initiative to take two steps and sat down next to Ji Jingyuan, Ji Jingyuan glanced at her forehead that was only a few scratches of hair because of her bangs, and asked casually.

"Yes, seniors, please help, they will definitely come." Bae Zhuhyun nodded, then looked at Jiang Shiqi who had already jumped up next to him, and also stretched out his index finger and gestured twice on his head, giggling twice: "The choreography of this song is really interesting." ”

"Indeed." Seeing this, Chi Jingyuan also made two gestures to integrate into the environment, put his hands on his head and looked at the two of them who looked at each other like rabbits, and smiled.

In 2015, an SM family concert officially started at 4 o'clock in the afternoon at Hsinchu County Stadium.

As the company's most popular group today, EXO performed "Lucky", "I need you", "MAMA", "Roar", "Wolf and Beauty" and "call me baby", which is the largest number of stages of any group today, not counting the other solo collaboration stages.

To be honest, EXO's solo showcase is almost so many stages, and after the normal performance, whether it is Ji Jingyuan or the other members, they are tired enough, and after the end of "call me baby", it seems that they are relieved to drink water and gasp backstage.

The more than one-hour concert came to an end, and after the performance of TVXQ's "Catch Me" at the end, it entered the end of the concert, and the last song was "Hope" with all the members on stage.

This one. T.'s classic song has become an 'unforgettable tonight' for the SM family concert, and every time SM town is finished, all the idols will appear together, singing the song together, and interacting with the audience on the stage, which is both goodbye and thanks.

At this time, everyone also changed into the same style of family short sleeves, the white mirrored short sleeves printed with a pink bear pattern, and the words '2015 SMtown live' written on the bear's belly.

This is also the uniform that is changed at the end of each time, and Ji Jingyuan remembers the last time he wore this outfit with '2014' written on it.

In the sound of music, EXO divided into several groups of people and walked off the main stage, and when they reached the middle of the walk, they sang while waving and interacting with the audience, and the screams of Ji Jingyuan did not stop everywhere he went, and the hands of countless fans stretched out long stretches out across the fence and keep shaking and wanting to high-five.

And Ji Jingyuan did not disappoint the fans, he squinted his eyes and stretched out his hand to quickly run over the fence in front of him, and touched most of the rice's hands to high-five, and the fans were satisfied in an instant, and even broke out into deafening cheers.

"Being around all the time, I didn't realize how important it was."

"Always by my side, those precious people."

“……”

The song came to an end in the music, and the idols returned to the stage to prepare for the curtain call, and all the idols were divided into several directions to stand in a row, holding hands with each other and bowing to the audience.

EXO's people weren't completely together, Ji Kyung-won and the four members stood at the front of the left side of the main stage with their front and back feet, waving their hands below while waiting for the other idols to come over and prepare for the final curtain call, at this moment, Park Chanyeol, who was originally standing to his right, seemed to see something, took the initiative to give up his position, and kept waving to the place next to him with a smile, as if asking someone next to him to stand over.

Ji Jingyuan had been interacting with the audience and didn't pay attention at first, and after a few seconds, a faint aroma hit him, only to find that he didn't know when a person had changed on his right, and Bae Joo-hyun with a golden ponytail stood next to him prettyly, as if he didn't see him and was waving to the audience below.

Ji Jingyuan's eyes swept over, and found that the three people of Red Velvet walked over from other positions under Park Chanyeol's greeting and stood beside him in turn, and Park Canyeol noticed Ji Jingyeol's eyes and raised an eyebrow at him with a 'don't thank me' expression, with a clear hint of urgency in his sunny smile, and after a glance, he took the initiative to stand on the edge of the queue, and Park Xiurong's right side also began to wave.

Ji Jingyuan knew what he meant, and smiled secretly in his heart.

When the final music ended, countless silver sequins began to drift from the ceiling of the venue, like a combination of snowflakes and moonlight to render the shining stage a touch of beauty, and at the same time, all the idols of the SM family on the stage and the people next to them held hands with each other and bowed deeply to the audience to express their gratitude.

Ji Jingyuan and Bae Zhuhyun's hands were also naturally clasped together, just looking at the folds of the fingerprints and the amplitude of the fit, it seemed that they were holding a little tighter than others.

Bae Joo-hyun, who bent down and bowed, was silent on his face, but his heart was beating faster, not only why, but some embarrassing comments and thoughts that made people's cheeks redden suddenly appeared in his heart inexplicably:

"Warm ...... Still sweating a little ......."
