"A few familiar girl groups didn't come today, such as aoa and girlsday."

"What? Who do you have your eye on again? ”

"No, it's just casually, and I didn't just say it, that'......"

Ji Jingyuan glanced up at Kim Jun-mian, Park Chanyeol, and Byun Bae-hyun, who were chatting next to him, and then changed his posture and lowered his head to continue playing his game.

The annual Dream Concert will be held today, May 23 at the World Cup Stadium, and the nine members of EXO are in the backstage lounge set up at the back of the stadium, waiting for their turn to rehearse.

They arrived at the scene relatively late, and before coming, they went to the company for a short meeting, and when they arrived backstage, the rehearsal in front of them had already begun, and the agent went to greet the organizers, and they went to the backstage under the leadership of the staff to prepare and wait.

Every year, the dream concert will invite many groups of popular and trending artists and idol groups, centered on these groups, plus some companies stuffed in the newcomers and lake groups to form guest groups to perform on stage, and the number of guests each time will be very large, far beyond ordinary platter concerts.

This time is no exception, in order to cope with the four-hour long performance process, this year the organizers invited nearly 30 groups of artists and groups, just the number of choreographers and professional dance companies invited to perform adds up to hundreds, plus all the artists and their agents and assistants.

So many people make the whole backstage full,Except for a few slightly remote places,The corridor connecting the lounge and the front court is not wide,The corridor is full of staff and artists coming and going,Even in the lounge,The assistants who walk back and forth and the artists who chat and wait between each other make the environment very noisy。

And EXO was waiting in the lounge, because he had just been notified of the field affairs, and it would be their turn to rehearse later, so no one went to the door to chat, so he sat in his place and chatted and farted.

After Chi Jingyuan came, he first said hello to a few people he knew, and then sat down in his place, and after putting things away, he naturally habitually took out the game console and began to entertain himself, but because a few members of the chat next to him talked about the topics he was more interested in, so at the same time, he also listened quietly with two minds.

"Do you know any of the members of the new girl group Lovelyz?"

"What, have an idea?"

"Ani, I just think that several members of this new girl group are pretty good, such as Eiren and Meizhu, who feel very good-looking, and they are very eye-catching in the girl group that debuted recently...... What do you think? ”

"Does it look good with Irene?"

"Assi...... Jingyuan is next to it, don't talk nonsense. ”

"Hahaha."

Although he didn't look up, Chi Jingyuan clearly felt that they glanced at him, but he was a little helpless in his heart.

When talking about this kind of thing, he is always talking and talking about it, and it involves him.,It's really a group of long-tongued women in Xiba.。

"If you want their contact information, you should know it, I saw him and a few people from Lovelyz chatting there last time in the backstage, wait for Chanyeol to come back from the bathroom, you can ask him if he has it...... But brother, just ask yourself, you won't worry about being rejected. ”

"How is it possible that I will be rejected?"

"Didn't it last time, forget it, when I didn't say it...... Anyway, Tara is here today, too, I just saw Ji-yeon, and they've really ...... in the past two years. But Ji-yeon really feels that she is getting better and better. ”

"I've heard you say this countless times, and I remember saying it since your debut......"

“…… By the way, brother, what do you say tonight? ”

After a while, Park Chanyeol and a few people who went to the toilet also came back, and they were talking about gossip here a little boringly, and Ji Jingyuan, who was playing games, interjected from time to time.

But after all, the people around them need to pay attention to the influence, and they sit closer to each other, and their voices are much lowered.

This time, the organizers still set up several large lounges in the background, each lounge is shared by many groups of artists, plus some backup dancers and cody are also mixed in, and nearly ten groups of artists and the staff who follow them are crowded into one room, and almost people are coming and going all the time.

Of course, the organizers must have different locations and spaces for different groups according to their seniority and popularity, and their SM side is obviously more spacious.

】

SM has three groups of performers present today, in addition to EXO there are also Red Velvet and Shinee, and you can add a Little who serves as MC, and the rest places of these groups of people have been divided together, but when Chi Jingyuan came to the scene, Red Velvet had already been called away by the staff, probably going to the rehearsal and not coming back.

Another group of the same company, SHINEE, has not yet come.

It is worthy of being the last senior to appear today.

Just when Chi Jingyuan cleared a level, stretched his waist and felt a little bored, and was about to ask when the rehearsal would start, a familiar Cody suddenly stopped when he passed by, glanced at him and handed over a bottle of drink in his hand with a smile.

"Uh."

Ji Jingyuan froze for a moment, but after seeing the other party's movements and expressions, he immediately reacted, and he smiled at this Cody sister, and then reached out to take it,

And Sister Cody glanced at Ji Jingyuan with a meaningful smile and turned to leave.

"Asking for a relationship again?"

After Wu Shixun, who was sitting next to him, saw it, he asked in a strange whisper, although it was a question, but he was very sure.

"......" Nu Nu didn't answer, Chi Jingyuan touched it, and sure enough, he found a note posted at the bottom of the bottle of the drink, and he didn't need to look at him to know that the contact information of the other party was written on it, and maybe there were some other words.

He's seen this scene many times, and it's a very common way for Cody to convey favorites and notes, and he doesn't know how many times he's experienced it since his debut.

It's not just Ji Jingyuan, he's just the one with the most, and other EXO members have also encountered this situation.

The goodwill between idols comes so suddenly and directly, after all, every day is a handsome man and a beautiful woman, and it is easy to see the right eye.

But speaking of which, he actually met a few people in this way......

Waving his hand to drive away Wu Shixun, who was curious to come over and want to watch together, Chi Jingyuan opened the note and took a look, in addition to the contact information, sure enough, there were two words and names that expressed good feelings, and there was a handwritten cute expression behind it, which could be seen to be really serious.

Ji Jingyuan blinked after seeing the name, he was actually a member of the girl group CLC, and this girl group also came today.

It's just that he remembers that this girl group is not a new girl group that just debuted in March this year?

Just two months after his debut, he can be so direct, if he agrees to exchange contact information, the success rate of the relationship should be 100%, so he fell in love directly after two months of debut, could it be that this girl is also a royal family like himself?

Although he was a little surprised in his heart, Ji Jingyuan still put the note away, even if there was no connection in his heart, but even if he wanted to throw it, he would throw it after he went back.

He doesn't have any members of this girl group who are more impressed......

“xo！”

After chatting for a few more minutes, a staff member finally came to inform, and a few people who had been waiting for a long time stood up at once, and you pushed me and followed the staff out.

Today they have a total of two song performances, "Call Me Baby" and "Roaring Filial Piety", the rehearsal is still relatively simple, both songs are songs that I don't know how many times I have performed, and I don't know how many times I have already been familiar with them, and there is no equipment such as lifts in the stage setting this time, I just need to communicate with PD and VJ about the stage process and camera movement, and then rehearse the position.

And today, under the company's arrangement, they don't need to open the microphone, just lip-synch......

This time, the dream concert was held at the World Cup Stadium in Mapo-gu, Seoul, which was originally used for football events, and the capacity of nearly 67,000 people was much larger than the gymnastics arena used for their concert.

At this time, it was not yet time to enter the venue, but when Ji Jingyuan stood on the stage and looked at the audience in front of him, the extremely wide venue was empty at the moment, and the accompaniment of the sound was circling back and forth during the period, which made people feel a sense of insignificance.

This kind of super-large stadium and the stadium of 10,000 people seem to be two completely different concepts, and you can imagine how exaggerated and shocking the scene of 50,000 or 60,000 people shouting the same name to support the tsunami after the audience is full.

There were no problems in the two rehearsals, and after the nine people walked off the stage, while going down the stairs, Chi Jingyuan said casually: "

I'll go to the bathroom. ””

"Then I'll go too." Du Junxiu also echoed a sentence, and after entering the backstage, the two of them broke away from the team and walked in the direction of the bathroom, probably close to lunchtime, and the flow of people back and forth along the way was a little less than just now.

"Are you ready for the clothes to participate in Baeksang in two days?"

"Not yet, maybe pick a specific brand...... What about you? ”

"I've already tried it, and the company has prepared it."

The two walked out of the bathroom and talked about the "Baeksang Art Awards" that will be held this year, and this year's EXO has two members who are nominated to participate, which can be regarded as an honor for all fans.

It's just that Du Junxiu seemed to suddenly remember something, sighed and couldn't help but complain: "I didn't expect that we could actually participate in this Baixiang together...... Alas, what bad luck I have, all my nominations overlap with you. ”

Although it is a very happy thing to be able to participate in this kind of award ceremony with the highest gold content in the TV drama industry, it also represents a good start for his transformation into an actor last year. It's just a pity that the two nominations of Do Hyun-so's 'Best Newcomer' and 'Best Popular Actor' all coincide with Ji Kyung-won.

Originally, he could still look forward to winning a trophy or something, at least the popularity award is quite promising, after all, the popularity and popularity of EXO are here, and the competitiveness is very strong under the large number of votes from fans.

However, if it coincides with Chi Jingyuan, his probability of winning the award will be directly and infinitely reduced.

He didn't expect to compete at all, the gap was really a bit big, so he could only silently sigh that he was unlucky, and at the same time comfort himself with being able to participate is victory.

In fact, it's not a consolation, for any idol, being nominated in Baeksang is already a very good result, and fans can release it and blow it casually, and many people can't envy it.

When it comes to the actor's career, Du Junxiu's start is already ahead of countless idols...... As for Chi Jingyuan, he will not participate in this discussion.

“……”

Chi Jingyuan didn't say anything about this topic, and could only shrug his shoulders innocently.

Although he was also nominated for 'Best Actor', Ji Jingyuan didn't expect to win too much, after all, he was too young and was born in idol, and he performed extremely well in "Unborn" last year but did not form an overwhelming advantage over several other candidates, and SM has no weight in the film and television industry at all, and he can't even find a way to operate.

Unless he tries it through some connections in his family, it is very unlikely that the organizers will award him the 'Best Actor', and idol actors are still a bit unprofessional in the eyes of some people.

However, the other two nominations are all for which he is bound to win.

However, when it comes to the 'Popularity Award', he remembers that there is a very familiar name in the list of nominees for the 'Popular Actress Award', and if there is no accident, the other party will definitely be present that day......

After a brief pause, the two walked in the direction of the lounge and resumed their conversation.

Just after taking two steps, a sound of conversation came from the front of him, and one of the familiar tones made Chi Jingyuan raise his head and look over.

"Irene Xi, maybe, can you exchange a contact information?" I saw a male idol who had finished putting on makeup looking at a girl in front of him with a smile on his face, and at the same time shook the extremely stylish bangs that were combed on his forehead.

The white face on his face is estimated to have rubbed a lot of powder, and the slightly dark eyeliner with the beautiful boy is very eye-catching on the stage, but in private, it looks a little exaggerated.

At a glance, Chi Jingyuan can see that it is very common to ask for contact information, just like the note he got through Cody just now, the more euphemistic thing is to ask someone to pass the note, and if you are confident and direct, you can find an opportunity to ask for it in person.

The one in front of me should belong to the latter.

This male idol Chi Jingyuan has some impressions, as if he is a member of the boy group boy ghg, I remember that he debuted in 13 years, and during that time, under the merciless sweep of "Roaring Filial Piety", among the dozens of boy groups that debuted in the same period, very few of them were able to survive a combination.

In terms of popularity, it can only be said that he can barely survive, at least Chi Jingyuan only knows this group roughly, but he can't name this person......

And the most interesting thing is that the female idol he asked for contact information happened to be Bae Joo-hyun.

It's just the complete opposite of the confidence and enthusiasm of this male idol, but Bae Joo-hyun, who was suddenly stopped and asked for contact information at this time, frowned directly, glanced at the other party with alienated and unfamiliar eyes, and then directly lowered his head and looked away, and then reflexively pulled Jin Yilin next to him to take a step back, and that expression and movement were as if he smelled something bad and pungent.

"I'm sorry."

Bae Joo-hyun frowned, did not look at the other party but looked in the direction of the ground, moved his mouth into the air and directly expressed his refusal, his voice was flat and cold and obviously distant, and after finishing speaking, he nodded lightly, and then pulled Jin Yilin, who was next to him and opened his eyes as if he was watching the excitement, and was ready to bypass the other party and leave.

At this moment, a sound of footsteps attracted the attention of several people, and when she looked back, she saw Ji Jingyuan and Du Junxiu who were walking this way.

After seeing Ji Jingyuan, Pei Zhuhyun was directly stunned, she didn't expect that this place could be encountered by chance, she also knew that the scene just now was seen by the other party, and she felt a little awkward in her heart, and at the same time there was a trace of panic.

"Jingyuan Oba!"

“…… And then there's the Oba Dark. ”

After seeing Chi Jingyuan and the others, Jin Yilin grinned directly, and waved quickly at them to look jubilant, while the male idol next to him changed his expression, and he hurriedly saluted and walked aside.

Ji Jingyuan smiled and said hello to Jin Yilin, this girl joined Red Velvet, and she was still relatively unfamiliar at first, but after a few contacts, she became familiar with it, and she showed her lively nature, and every time she met, she began to call him 'Oba Oba Io'.

Although many fans will call him that, to be honest, there are really few friends in Ji Jingyuan's social circle who call him Oba, and he is the youngest one.

He smiled and nodded with Jin Yilin, then stopped, looked at the slightly stiff Bae Joo-hyun staggered by, and the two glanced at each other when they staggered, he smiled at Bae Joo-hyun and blinked his left eye slightly, and then didn't say much, just left quickly without stopping with Du Junxiu.

"Irene's popularity is still high, and that's how it was when I was a trainee."

Thinking of the scene just now, Du Junxiu couldn't help but smack her lips and sighed, and then looked at Chi Jingyuan next to her with some amusement: "Speaking of how did you and her get together?" How do I remember when you first met Irene, you had a very average impression of her, as if you said that she was also ordinary and not tall......"

Although Du Junxiu's voice was not loud, and the noise next to him was not small, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but glance back, and only turned back after finding that they hadn't followed, and then waved his hand with a smile, looking at each other curiously as if he had heard this for the first time: "Huh? Is there a thing of when? ”

"Assi ......"

……

These SM artists all brought their co-workers Cody, and started styling after eating at noon, and Chi Jingyuan didn't bother to move anymore after finishing it, so he sat on a stool in the lounge, lying on the table in front of him with his hands supporting and playing game consoles, and the other members went out to chat with familiar idols.

"......" was playing while suddenly there was a sound of a stool being pulled apart, he turned his head to look and found that Bae Joo-hyun, who had finished putting on makeup, was already sitting next to him.

SM's three groups of artist lounges are all arranged together, but although they are connected together, they all have their own places, and Bae Joo-hyun obviously came to sit here.

However, because there were a lot of people in the lounge, and there were many ears and eyes everywhere, she didn't say anything after sitting next to her, but just winked at Chi Jingyuan when she pursed her lips and looked over.

Seeing Chi Chi's delicate face, Chi Jingyuan, who seemed to understand what the other party meant, also chuckled, and the two glanced at each other and hooked the corners of their mouths together.

Seeing Ji Jingyuan playing with himself, Pei Zhuhyun didn't bother, took out the mobile phone in his hand and naturally swiped it.

The two of them were not close but not far away, so they sat there and didn't speak, but their movements were very synchronized and coordinated, and they were also lying on the table and doing their own things.

The whole lounge is lively and noisy, from time to time there is a staff shouting, chatting laughter can be seen everywhere, and all kinds of complex sounds are intertwined to make it seem very noisy.

It's just in one corner, Ji Jingyuan and Bae Zhuhyun have an unusually strange sense of quietness here, as if the surrounding noise will stand on tiptoe when they fly here, and then quietly experience a tacit warmth that arises spontaneously around them.
