Hirai Momo walked out of the bathroom, lowered her head and gently shook her bangs that were slightly soaked when she washed her hands just now, and as soon as she raised her head outside, she saw that Nai Nan, who was waiting for her, was standing by the wall and did not lean against the wall, pursing her lips and looking at the end of the corridor.

She followed the trend and glanced over there, but there was not even a figure.

"What's wrong?"

Hirai Momo felt a little strange and took the initiative to say something.

The sudden sound did not scare Mingjing Nan, she seemed to have sensed that her friend had come out just now, she retracted her gaze, her hands came out of her sleeves and gently pulled her sleeves to her wrists, and after one last glance at the direction that Chi Jingyuan left, she turned her head, shook her head and brushed her hair and grinned, revealing a trace of pink teeth:

"Nothing."

……

In the evening, I chose a relatively high-end Korean restaurant near the Olympic Park, and I heard Park Zhenying say that the vegetables used in this store are all organic farmers, according to him, they are more nutritious than ordinary vegetables and taste better.

Chi Jingyuan agreed with a smile on his face, tasted it for a while, and nodded specifically to say that it tasted good, but he was a little helpless in his heart and didn't take it to heart at all.

After that, while eating, he also talked about business, which was not much different from what Ji Jingyuan expected before, Park Jinying asked him about the talent show "Sixteen", but to his surprise, he was not an ordinary guest, but invited him to be the judge of one of the episodes to comment on the stage of the trainees, and at the same time group and eliminate them according to their choice.

It's kind of interesting.

Ji Jingyuan has been debuting for three years, and he has participated in a lot of variety shows of all sizes, but because of his qualifications and age, it is really the first time that he has been invited to be a judge for such a professional role.

Park Jin-young exaggerated, and what he said was nonsense such as 'it can determine whether they have a chance to debut, and your opinion has a very important reference value' Ji Kyung-won didn't take it seriously at all.

No company will hand over the right to select its own artists for their debuts to outsiders.

But to be honest, he is really interested in being a judge, especially Zhou Ziyu's judge.

I don't know what Zhou Ziyu's expression was when he saw him appear on stage.

As if thinking of that stunned face, Chi Jingyuan's eyes couldn't help but flash a narrow smile.

Park Jin-young's intention and purpose of inviting him Ji Jingyuan also saw one or two, that is, because EXO and himself are relatively popular, it is estimated that he wants to use his popularity and discussion to increase the ratings.

It's nothing.,It's a normal kind of business cooperation.,It's no different from the variety show invitations that are now sent to SM companies every day about EXO and themselves.。

After the successful return of "E", the popularity of EXO is now here, and their appearance on any variety show can almost play a certain role in promoting the ratings, so it has become a sweet spot in the hearts of many TV station program groups nowadays and invitations are continuous, and recently Park Chanyeol, Do Hyun so, Bian Boxian, and others have also received personal variety show trips.

The difference is nothing more than that the program "Sixteen" is not organized by a TV station, but is co-produced by JYP and M.

However, it makes no difference to Ji Jingyuan, because any variety show invites him to participate in his popularity and popularity, and it is the norm in the circle to praise high and low, and Park Zhenying can be regarded as sincere.

After thinking about it, Ji Jingyuan didn't agree on the spot, but said that he still respected the company's arrangement, let JYP and SM contact, and he didn't care about the company's communication about the performance fee and shooting time, but it was a hint that he could try to talk to his agent.

Park Zhenying is more enthusiastic, and the goal has been achieved, Ji Jingyuan's character he understands that he will definitely not boast about what kind of package ticket he can say like this, it is almost certain to say this.

Under the harmonious atmosphere, Park Jin-young also introduced the program "Sixteen" and the approximate filming time, according to him, it should not be until around late April that the SoloPK battle in which Ji Kyung-won participated will be filmed, which is quite far from now.

After eating, Ji Kyung-won politely rejected Park Jin-young's enthusiasm to send him back, and rushed back to the company in the nanny car driven by Park Jae-hyun, who had been waiting nearby, to meet with the members for the final preparations before the return of "X".

In the last two days, although I have already practiced almost, it is definitely effective to hold Buddha's feet temporarily.

On the other hand, I have to say that the momentum of missa's return this time is really quite sufficient, and the results of the sound source are completely unexpectedly good, and it can't even be said to be good, it should be regarded as a blast.

When they released the all-album music source on the 30th, the title song landed on the first chart, breaking the list six times in a row, and after a day of brewing, on the last day of March, on the afternoon of the 31st, their title song "ONLYYOU" reached 'allkill'.

That's not all, "OnlyYou" even achieved the amazing achievement of 'perfectallkill' on all the music charts in the evening.

'PerfectAllkill' is simply called 'Pak' by fans in the music industry, which is a notch higher than the ordinary 'Allkill', and is one of the most desirable achievements in the Kpop circle in terms of music results.

Specifically, it refers to the real-time list, daily list, and even weekly list of major mainstream music source websites including melon, genie, bugs, etc.

The first two are good to say, the first place on the weekly chart is really not for anyone to get, and it is even more difficult to get the three at the same time, and each song that does it represents extremely high popularity and listening.

'Pak' is really not easy, EXO has never achieved this achievement since his debut, and Missa is also the first idol group to complete 'Pak' since 2014.

Not only is the music source extremely high, but the number of listens and related comments are also very good, and all kinds of praise are continuous at a glance, and it has not been more than two days since the song was released, and it feels like the momentum is about to rise.

As fans of EXO who completely coincided with their return period, and even the first stage was on the same day, they were a little worried at this time, especially some new Aili who saw the group of the annoying woman Bae Xiuzhi at this time, and EXO's biggest competitor in "X" this time, Missa, couldn't help but start to get apprehensive.

I can't help but worry in my heart, this time the Oba are still lyrical, what if they can't beat?

But there are also some old fans who say they don't care, and the old gods are comforting the new fans, while eagerly waiting for the announcement of the music source and MV of Exo's single album "X" tonight.

Because the old fans who have been in the circle for a long time know the problem of the group missa, they won the song of the year award in the debut year of the newcomer, and the music source results of each return over the years have been very good, but the situation is still a little embarrassing, and the reason why they can't go further and can't make too much money is because they have great shortcomings.

It's sales.

It's the same this time.,Under the cover of the explosive sound source data of "OnlyYou",It's the album sales that have sold less than 6,000 copies so far.,This data is too shabby even in a girl group that doesn't pay too much attention to sales.,Not to mention being on a par with the big sales of Girls' Generation.,Even ordinary first- and second-tier girl groups.,Like APINK,Sistar,Girlsday These can't be compared.,And it's far from it.。

Even this sales volume has been debuted for less than a year, and just now relying on the return can be regarded as getting out of the dilemma of being cursed every day to be 'disbanded', and it is not easy to get out of the circle with redvelvet eight times explosive.

It's really all white prostitutes and passers-by listening to song fans, and there are too few die-hard fans who are willing to pay real money.

But it's just that a group makes a lot of money, what sells peripherals, and opening a tour is the most in need of the support of die-hard fans who can pay for it, which has also led to the dilemma that no matter how good the music source is, no matter how good the music source is, since the debut of the group, it has never been considered profitable.

Speaking of which, there are a lot of popular songs, the music source is also very good, and the popularity is not low, and at the same time, there is also Bae Xiuzhi who has a very high popularity and national degree in the group, but no one wants to pay for the return of the group, this phenomenon is really strange, and it is estimated that JYP himself is a little confused.

Under this polarization of results, it is also difficult to define whether Missa's return results this time are good or bad.

I guess it's okay......

In addition to caring about them, other fans and a large number of passers-by also withdrew their attention from Missa and shifted their attention to Exo, who was going to rely on his second single album "X" to make a comeback in the early hours of this morning.

Because of the attention inertia brought about by the popularity of "E", coupled with the many 'lyrical title songs' that have been discussed in major music forums in the past few days, as well as gimmicks such as colliding with the imposing Missa, passers-by's expectations and attention to "X" have reached a peak.

Whether EXO continues the popularity of "Callemebaby" or even goes to the next level, or whether it chooses lyricism as the main theme because of arrogance and cerebral palsy, it depends on this time.

……

"Eh, what did you say Chi Jingyuan came here yesterday?"

In the dormitory of the 'major group', after the end of filming, a few trainees who had just gotten together sat on the sofa in the living room after taking a shower, chatting with each other, and Lin Nalian suddenly remembered yesterday's chance encounter, her eyes flashed with interest, and she said quickly to Sun Caiying next to her.

The variety show "Sixteen" has begun to be officially recorded, and the shooting a few days ago has been divided into groups, the major group, that is, the seven people in the professional group, and the minor, that is, the nine people in the poor student group have been assigned to their respective dormitories and have lived in, and they have devoted themselves to it for their debut in the past few days, in addition to filming is practice, and yesterday I met Chi Jingyuan in the venue of the showcase, which is the most interesting thing Lin Nalian and they have encountered recently.

"I don't know, I guess it's the showcase of the Missa seniors." Sun Caiying peeled the orange taken out of the refrigerator in her hand and fed one into her mouth, blinking her big eyes and guessing.

Among the four people who went to record yesterday, she was the fourth person who had no impression of Chi Jingyuan.

"It shouldn't be, Park Zhenying PDNIM obviously went to wait for him, and it felt as if he was going to talk about something."

Lin Nalian touched her chin and analyzed it, thought for a few seconds and gave up anyway, too lazy to delve into it, at this time she seemed to have a picture of Chi Jingyuan looking at each other after taking off his mask yesterday...... Dingyan would be envious if she knew. ”

"Who, Chi Jingyuan? EXO's YUAN? Did you meet him yesterday while recording? Song Minying, who was sitting next to her, was eating oranges, and when she heard it, she was also interested, and looked at Lin Nalian with some surprise.

Park Chi Yuan next to him also asked: "Dingyan Oni?" Does she know Yuan? ”

Mingjing Nan sat at the very edge of the sofa and hugged a pillow, she was in a daze and turned her attention after hearing Chi Jingyuan's name, but her expression and movements did not change, she still sat there quietly and looked down at the lines on the pillow without saying a word.

The time she has been in the company is still too short, and the identity of the foreign trainee and the language that she is not proficient in are not very easy for her to get along with the local and those senior trainees, and those crooks or the contradictions between the girls are not non-existent, so so far the circle of friends in Mingjing Nan is still very small, limited to a few people in the neon line, it can be said that they are not familiar with other female trainees, and they usually communicate very little.

It's a pity that Sasha Minato was assigned to the 'poor student group', and Hirai Momo, who was assigned to a group with her, was taking a bath at this time, and when the two friends were not around, Nai Minami's personality dictated that she would generally only listen in a daze or silently, and basically wouldn't take the initiative to speak.

And Kim Dahyun on the side also sat there a little quietly listening, but she also seemed quite interested.

"Dingyan and Yuan? It's an acquaintance, she Ernie and Chi Jingyuan were friends before, so she usually likes XO. ”

Lin Nalian, as the eldest sister and the most important trainee in the company, is naturally the center of everyone, and she explained with a somewhat cheerful expression: "During the time when Yuan and Xiuzhi's predecessors cooperated before, we often came to the company several times, and I feel that the personality is actually very good, and I will cheer when I see us, Minying, do you remember, we went to the backstage to see them at 6mix." ”

"Remember, he said you're the façade."

"Really? Eh, hey, hey, hey, ......" Lin Nalian couldn't help but be happy when she mentioned this, grinning and a pair of rabbit teeth were very conspicuous.

"By the way, XO isn't coming back again, and the music source and MV will be announced at 0:00 soon, do you want to see it?"

"It's okay anyway, let's see."

"I remember that their title song this time seemed to be a lyric, and I was looking forward to it."

"Well, but I like dance music more."

…………

Jin Zhicheng opened the webpage and saw the MV video of "Springday" that had been uploaded on the SM official account, clicked twice but did not respond, and suddenly became a little stuck on the webpage made him frown.

As an ordinary office worker, 26-year-old Jin Zhicheng usually has no interest in men's groups, even if he is enthusiastic, he will only briefly chase some of the more popular women's groups.

It's just that last month, the name of EXO was often hung on the hot search of many entertainment sections of the peninsula, and some music sources and kpop forums were also full of posts discussing them, because of the popularity of "callmebaby", the former vitality was resurrected, and the ubiquitous Ellie was annoyed by people everywhere and annoyed with her own idols, so that Kim Zhicheng couldn't help it.

This made him, who didn't have a good impression of the boy group, hate the EXO group even more, but in addition to hating it, he couldn't help but start paying attention to them occasionally.

I got off work early today.,I've been surfing the Internet since dinner.,He just saw on the Internet that there are idiot fans of exo on the Internet who have released the MV and sound source of the second single album "X" when they desperately advertised that it was zero.,The MV of the title song "Spring" is great.,It's especially touching and disgusting rainbow fart,。

Jin Zhicheng naturally sneered disdainfully after seeing it, but at this time, he was just a little bored and had nothing to do, so he simply clicked in to take a look.

Two days ago, he also saw an argument about the lyric song of this exo return, and although he didn't participate, he actually liked the lyrical song.

It's just that he doesn't like the boy group singing lyricism from the bottom of his heart, even if EXO has released a lot of lyrical songs before, there is no change, this prejudice is a little rooted and difficult to change.

After waiting for a few seconds, the page was finally refreshed, and Jin Zhicheng's gaze stayed for two seconds in the place where the lyrics and composition were displayed in the song introduction, and when he looked at the names of the upper and lower names were the same person, he paused obviously, and after blinking, he clicked on the play to look at it with a scrutinizing eye.

As the progress was read, the MV of "Spring Day" officially began to play.

"Suicide?"

Just the first shot at the beginning startled him, only to see Bian Boxian kneeling on the snowflake-covered tracks, his head sticking to the snow and motionless, making people worry that a speeding train would crush him in the next second. Jin Zhicheng, who watched it, was deeply taken aback, and thought that the other party was going to commit suicide by lying on the rails.

However, after the camera quickly switched, and the accompaniment that gradually sounded, from distant to deep and passionate, and the sound became louder and louder, it made him let go of the absurdity in his heart and feel it carefully.

Not to mention, this prelude is really good.

"I miss you."

"After I said it, I missed you even more."

"Looking at your photos, it's hard to understand the pain of lovesickness."

"Time is too unforgiving, and I hate the word us."

"Nowadays, even seeing each other has become a luxury."

With a thin and flowing black hair with some textures, Chi Jingyuan, who was wearing a striped turtleneck, sat by the window of the train and watched the picture outside the window silently, and the lyrics were slowly sung under his introduction.

Accompanied by some rhythmic but obviously contained lost and sad singing and lyrics, as well as various explicit and camera displays in the MV picture, Kim Zhicheng quickly vaguely understood what the MV of this song wanted to express.

The young man at the beginning is waiting for something lonely in the empty Snow Country Station?

The roaring train moved along the endless tracks, but the only passenger on it, the man sitting by the window, was silent, just looking out quietly.

Is he worried that the other person he is waiting for is also coming on the Snowpiercer? Will he be lonely and usher in a final reunion?

Nobody knows.

The transformed images and the not-so-brilliant colors are reflected in Kim Zhicheng's childlike holes, brewing some complex emotions.

Is this a nostalgia for a friend, or is it telling us about that youth?

"Hold your hand and walk to the other side of the globe."

"I hope the winter will end soon."

"My thoughts are like snow, how long will it fall?"

"Will spring come?"

“friend.”

As the main song unfolds, various pictures and shots are constantly switching, and the members of EXO appear in sight one by one.

The boy put on his birthday hat and rode forward on the train representing youth and adulthood, and his eyes seemed to show a beautiful birthday celebration picture of friends getting together, but the frowning eyebrows proved that he was just an illusion, full of dazed and helpless.

The endless stairs up the way up seem to never end, and life seems to be the same, many people slowly drift away without realizing it, and they can't see it.

And when singing 'I hope winter is over', the two people in the MV screen pass by, as if it is a hint of fate and a playful arrangement.

"The snowflakes are falling, and they are going away little by little."

"I miss you."

"I miss you."

"I miss you."

"How long will we have to wait, how many nights will we have to survive."

"What about meeting you?"

"What about meeting you?"

The chorus uses continuous repetition of lyrics to constantly increase the longing and low mood, even if the accompaniment with the participation of the keyboard and bass makes the tone of the melody a little high and surging, but it does not affect the overall sad atmosphere, but instead increases the feeling of this part in the jumping picture.

It's obviously some passionate music and singing, but why does it make people feel sad when they stop in their ears?

"It's you who have changed."

"Or have I changed?"

"I hate this moment, I hate the passage of time."

"We've changed, but so have were."

The rhyming but powerful rap is constantly displayed in the dynamic accompaniment, and the voices of Ji Kyung-won and Park Chanyeol appear one after another in the rap stage, and there seems to be a hint of complaint in the emotional voice, and the fast and sharp rap with the light that seems to be getting darker and darker in the MV, and the more and more confused atmosphere makes people can't help but sink into it, getting deeper and deeper.

After a long rap phase, it quickly entered the final chorus, and at this time, the image and tone in the music video began to change imperceptibly.

The young man named Ji Jingyuan constantly crosses different places and time and space in the camera, and the extremely romantic camera switching looks a little beautiful, but there is some sadness inside, which shows that he can no longer distinguish whether he is living in reality or falsehood.

It wasn't until the last moment that he saw his friends who appeared beside him, and several of them looked at each other, mustered up their courage, and ran forward.

It's just that in the next second, Chi Jingyuan, who was sitting by the window and staring at the train, suddenly woke up, and a close-up of a super close-up of his face appeared, at this time everything returned to reality, it turned out that everything was just his memories and reverie, and those beautiful innocences didn't seem to exist, and he was still only one person.

“youknowitall.”

“youaremybestfriend.”

But there was no sadness in his expression, or it didn't matter whether it was true or false, because he seemed to really see the friend he had missed for a long time, and the fragrance that had been left behind by time.

The train of youth and growth moves forward in the endless ice and snow, which seems to be slow and endless, but as long as you believe and persevere, the next stop may be the spring sunshine!

In the picture, Chi Jingyuan on the train opened his eyes again, his gaze slowly swept ahead, and as the camera zoomed out, the other eight members of EXO appeared in the camera one by one, they were wearing various colored clothes, some were silent, some were closing their eyes and taking a nap, and some were pulling the curtains and looking out the window.

Even though no one spoke, the moment they appeared, the colors of the whole picture seemed to become brighter, and the coldness of the snowy day seemed to be inadvertently dispelled.

The empty and deserted carriage before is particularly warm and peaceful at this time, making people reluctant to leave.

It turns out that the train of youth never stops, let alone waits for anyone, but it doesn't seem to make people too sad after experiencing it.

Because of the stumbling, when you look back, you have always been there.

"Morning will always come."

"The cherry blossoms are about to bloom."

"Winter is also about to go away."

When the train stopped, the exo nine people quickly rushed off the train, and the footage that was specially reshot at that time was perfectly presented in front of everyone after editing and rendering.

After a long night, the warm and soft sunlight finally ushered in after the vast snow, and nine people slowly paced in the endless wilderness, step by step towards the direction of the sun in front of them.

“wu~wooo~~”

“wu~wooo~~

At this moment, the shocking and touching group harmony sounded at this moment, and each voice seemed to hit the trembling heart that had already begun, bringing a deep and timeless resonance.

The lens also climbed little by little, and after being pulled up, it turned into an aerial perspective, and the figures of the nine boys in the picture became smaller and smaller, just watching them walk towards the warm spring sun step by step after the robbery, the warmth in front of them looked so beautiful when bathed in the body, all the previous sadness, loneliness, sadness and confusion suddenly penetrated at this moment, and the complex emotions that had been brewing in the heart were also sublimated and brilliant unconsciously.

At this moment, whether it is sad or beautiful, you don't have to care anymore.

Just with you, just with you, together to the moment of spring.

And this seems to mirror the last lyric:

"Stay until the end of the cold winter."

"Wait until it's spring."

"Wait until the flowers are in full bloom."

"Just wait for me right there."

"Wait for me there."
