Chapter Eighty-Nine: Guess

"How is Suyeon-senpai doing?"

On the side of the road in a laneway in Qingdamdong, Chi Jingyuan, who was sitting in the nanny car, felt that his mouth was slightly dry, picked up the mineral water placed next to him and took a sip, and after putting it down, he exhaled, and asked Zheng Xiujing, who was sitting in the back of the car with him, while twisting the lid on.

I had made an appointment to find a time to meet and chat in the evening, and it was already more than ten o'clock after the live broadcast of "Baeksang Art Awards", and then they participated in the dinner held by the organizer, and after the end, Ji Jingyuan chatted with his friends and director Kim Won-seok of the "Unborn" crew who had not been seen for a long time, and it was already close to zero o'clock after the whole itinerary was completed.

After saying goodbye to those seniors and explaining to the agent, Zheng Xiujing went home first to change her clothes, and Ji Jingyuan also went back to repair it first, and then asked Park Jae-hyun to drive her out, and after chatting and casually going around, he found a place close to the dormitory of the two and stopped, Park Jae-hyun opened the door and disappeared automatically, and the two of them were left in the nanny car, which was very similar to the appearance of meeting last year.

After saying a word, he reached out and gently rubbed his temples, he drank a lot of wine when he was eating with those seniors just now, especially after the dinner party, he was a little bit up now, and the slightly drunk wine also aggravated the fatigue of a busy day of work, and after stopping the car, there was a surge of sleepiness surging up when he sat down.

In fact, after getting a driver's license, this kind of private dating between men and women, Ji Kyung-won has rarely let Park Jae-hyun follow, after all, he is used to driving by himself, and he will feel a little unaccustomed to following him, but there is no way to drink today.

"Generally, the situation is not very good, although she withdrew from the young time and unilaterally announced the contract contact, but in fact, Ernie's contract is still signed in SM, so she can't get the itinerary at all on the peninsula now, and she can't appear on the show."

Hearing that she was talking about her own Ernie, Zheng Xiujing put away her fingers that she had been playing for a long time, and sighed in a low tone after glancing out the window, obviously worried about the current situation of her own Ernie.

But after a few seconds, as if she had thought of something again, she glanced at it and said, "But...... She has some development in her own fashion career, and because she can't be photogenic on the peninsula, she has now decided to shift the focus of her activities to Xia Guo and Southeast Asia. ”

"Hmmm......"

Chi Jingyuan opened his eyes and exhaled, and nodded after listening:

"Xiuyan's predecessor's fashion career is complementary to her own fame and exposure, in this case, it would be good to have a development route, when she was young, there were still a lot of popular and die-hard fans in Xia and Southeast Asia, and there were many fans of her predecessors, so it was also a good choice for her to develop there."

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Zheng Xiujing who was sitting next to him, the small sexy black dress that he had worn at the awards ceremony had been changed into casual clothes at this time, a very ordinary combination of denim shorts and a white shirt, thin white legs together, and a pair of light-colored board shoes, the slightly simple outfit looked very suitable and natural on her body.

Although the combination of denim and shirt is ordinary and simple, it is actually very provocative, Zheng Xiujing is one of the few girls that Chi Jingyuan has ever seen who can wear this kind of combination with great taste.

If Zhou Ziyu's skin is a little whiter, it is estimated that it will be okay......

When I made an appointment to meet this afternoon, Chi Jingyuan was still a little itchy in his heart, thinking about whether to revisit the former high-rise apartment or something in the evening, but after thinking about it, forget it.

Although the two were indeed in this relationship before, they had no contact or communication for so long, and when they finally met, they pulled people to do it, he felt that it was really a little inappropriate, and it was the same as if he had never seen a woman.

At the same time, since it has been broken for so long, the enthusiasm has already worn off a lot, and the two of them now have a new situation and ideas, he doesn't know what Zheng Xiujing thinks, but Chi Jingyuan has always had no intention of continuing the front edge.

Otherwise, Sun Naen had expressed her desire to reconnect so many times in the past two years, and the two might have reunited.

If it's broken, it's broken, and it's really a very valuable thing to get together and disperse.

Unless it's because the feelings and bonds between each other are really deep, and they have a lot of unforgettable experiences and shared memories, it's another matter if they keep talking......

And Zheng Xiujing's performance and reaction also proved that his approach was quite appropriate, although Zheng Xiujing didn't talk much when she just got in the car, she seemed to feel a little awkward in her heart, and the whole person also felt a little restrained and uncomfortable.

Maybe she had other thoughts in mind, but she really just wanted to talk about it today.

"Hmm......" Hearing Chi Jingyuan's analysis, Zheng Xiujing also nodded.

"What about you?" As he spoke, he asked casually again.

Zheng Xiujing didn't answer directly, but glanced at him with a strange smile: "Are you asking me, or FX?" “

"......" Chi Jingyuan didn't make a sound, just shrugged his shoulders.

He and Cui Shirley will send text messages every once in a while, but the other party doesn't like to discuss the combination of things now, every time in addition to greeting and joking, it is just to casually talk about the recent life economy, and almost never talk about FX, obviously the mind has long been not on the idol career.

Zheng Xiujing's words, at the beginning, Park Jae-hyun would occasionally talk to Ji Jingyuan, but then gradually saw the situation and stopped mentioning it.

It's just that Chi Jingyuan has heard that Zheng Xiujing is now relatively withdrawn in the company, and several people from Girls' Generation, who used to have a good relationship with her, as well as some friends in the company, don't have much contact, especially the former, there is a feeling of turning against each other and drawing a clear line.

But it's quite normal, after all, these ordinary friends and pro-Ernie can't be compared.

"My words are very good, although the trip is not as much as before, but I feel a lot more relaxed." After experiencing more than half a year of turmoil and changes, Zheng Xiujing looks much more mature than before: "It's okay if you combine, just like that, I'm preparing a special album of Neon these days, and then it's the return of this version of Peninsula...... By the way, I would like to thank you for this return, I heard that the company was not going to invest any resources in FX at the beginning. ”

"What does it have to do with me?" Chi Jingyuan's eyes opened slightly, looking innocent, as if he didn't understand what the other party was suffering.

"......" and Zheng Xiujing glanced at him, chuckled and did not speak.

"Shake ......"

At this time, Ji Jingyuan's mobile phone next to him suddenly shook, he stretched out his hand and scanned his eyes, and found that it was sent by Pei Zhuhyun.

Sent it again?

He was a little strange to see the sender's name, he had received a lot of congratulatory text messages from friends after the end of "Baekxiang" before, but he was busy attending the dinner party and couldn't keep holding his mobile phone, so he just picked a few people who were not close to him and had a higher rank to reply.

And he didn't reply to Bae Joo-hyun's congratulatory text message.

Not only her, but Zhou Ziyu's news was also crossed out directly after a glance.

Usually, because they are already familiar with each other, because the idol line is like this, if you don't reply to a message, you must have something at work, and if you don't have something special, you won't send it endlessly.

'Still busy?' ’

Seeing these words, he faintly felt a certain emotion contained in them, Chi Jingyuan pondered for a long time, recalled the award ceremony tonight, and seemed to understand something.

"Hehe......" He blinked and leaned back against the back of the driver's seat, chuckling softly, his fingers tapping on the screen in reply, "Guess." ”

From the moment the phone vibrated just now, Zheng Xiujing began to look sideways to observe Chi Jingyuan's movements, and after seeing the other party's expression and smile, she paused for a moment, then brushed her hair and asked casually, "What's the matter, girlfriend Chagang?" ”

The tone was calm, as if he was just asking casually.

"Ani ......"

Ji Jingyuan lowered his head and tapped on his phone without looking at her, his smile still remained and he shook his head and denied this statement, while Zheng Xiujing also nodded and brushed her hair.

However, before she could say anything, Chi Jingyuan, who had finished sending a text message a few seconds later, raised his head, looked at the lights on the roof of the car, raised his eyes and pursed his lips to think about it, and then spoke again: "But...... Sort of. ”

"......" Hearing this, Zheng Xiujing, who was ruffling her hair, paused for a moment, but she also recovered quickly, and after a 'oh' sound, she asked casually: "New handover?" Who's it, idol? ”

"Huh."

Faced with this question, Ji Jingyuan just smiled and did not answer.

And Zheng Xiujing knew that he wouldn't say when she looked at him, and after changing her expression a few times, she looked out the window:

"It's not too early, send me back."

Ji Jingyuan looked at the message that he had just received from Pei Zhuhyun on his mobile phone, "Cut, I don't guess, sleep, good night." , chuckled and put the lock screen of the phone away, then turned his head to look at Zheng Xiujing, and nodded after a pause:

"Okay."

…………

On the 27th of the next day, most of the news and hot searches on the entertainment page early in the morning were naturally occupied by the "Baeksang Art Awards" held yesterday.

"At the 51st Baeksang Art Awards, Choi Min-sik and Na Young-seok won the film and television awards respectively, and "Flower Burial" was born to win the best picture."

""The Battle of Mingliang" lost to "Flower Burial"!"

"The terrifying influence of "Unborn" still exists, winning four awards, and Chi Jingyuan accounts for two."

"Luo Yingshi won the big prize......"

Every time this kind of large-scale awards ceremony, whether it is in the film and television industry or in the song industry, it will cause a lot of discussion after it is held, whether it is fans or fans boasting about the awards and achievements of their brothers and sisters, the biggest thing is to discuss the ownership of the awards, what organizers are unfair, share pork, who deserves the award the most, who does not deserve to win the award, who shamelessly steals the award and other topics will always endure.

For example, in the movie category, it was released last year, and the number of viewers reached 17 million, surpassing "Avatar" to become the largest number of moviegoers on the peninsula in the past years, but it lost to the little-known romance film "Flower Burial", which was released for just one month and had more than 100,000 viewers, which surprised many passers-by and fans, and felt completely incredible.

The vast majority of them have never even heard of the name of the drama "Flower Burial", even if it stars Ahn Sung-ki.

This has caused dissatisfaction among many fans, even if Choi Min-sik won the final award with "The Battle of Mingliang", many people began to question the fairness of the award and condemned the judges of this year's "Baeksang".

In the TV drama department, "Unborn" became the biggest winner, and the entire crew won four awards, including Best Director, Best Actor, Best Newcomer and Popular Actor.

Excluding those awards that are specifically awarded to people in the variety show industry, the crew of "Unborn" occupies a third and nearly half of the awards in the entire TV department, and its dominance and influence are undoubtedly demonstrated.

However, even though there are many awards, no one questions them, and the vast majority of viewers feel that "Unborn" deserves to win the award, and at the same time, the Internet has recalled the time when "Unborn" was broadcast last year, lamenting that after so long, no next eye-catching workplace drama was born.

As for Chi Jingyuan, who won two awards alone and won the best newcomer, it also made all the fans carnival for a while, and discussed it with the passers-by who flocked to see the news.

"Ji Jingyuan has debuted for so many years, and he is still a newcomer? I remember watching his "Please Answer 1997" a few years ago, haven't you seen that drama so popular? ”

"Of course I did, but the rules of "Baeksang" are like this......"

"Ji Jingyuan has already acted in several films, "Please Answer", "The Inheritors", "Unborn", ...... My God, these dramas are all popular dramas, and one is more popular than the other, the company really knows how to choose dramas, but why are other people under SM acting in TV series that are not good? What "Zongli and Me" and what "Love Rain", look at what bad script they chose for Wuli Yun'er? ”

"Why do I think it's a bit unfair to use Chi Jingyuan's current coffee position to compete with those nominated candidates for newcomers? The gap between development is too great. ”

"Indeed, the role of Zhang Kelai, the actor of "Unborn", can compete for the emperor, and he ran to grab the newcomer award, which is really shameless......"

"There's no way, our Yuan Oba is so popular, being an idol is the top, and being an actor is so successful!"

It can be seen from some messages that many passers-by's views on Chi Jingyuan have long been different from other rookie actors, and they are all regarded as one of the representatives of the young generation, and they feel a little weird to see him win the rookie award.

At the same time, I also feel a little sorry for the few people who nominated with him this year, from the beginning of the nomination, I knew that there was no possibility for me to win, and it was really not a pleasant thing.

It's not that I don't work hard, but the enemy is too laid.

And because of the existence of actual performance, it also makes the rainbow farts of the Ellie extraordinarily confident, and now the two members of EXO have successfully transformed into actors, Ji Jingyuan Needless to say, Do Junxiu has also made a good start, which has also become a topic that many EXO-L often show off.

As for the members who played the starring roles in the extremely average word-of-mouth "My Neighbor is EXO", they naturally wisely skipped it.

Don't talk about it!

While the entertainment industry has become boiling because of the convening of "Baeksang", the music industry has also begun to become lively.

A day later, that is, yesterday, at noon on the 26th of the 26th held by Baeksang, at the same time as SM, the poster and related information of BIGBANG's second single album "A" were also released The title of the song has also caused a lot of discussion.

The two companies also opened the pre-sale channel for the new albums "L" and "A" of the two groups at the same time, and SM released two versions of the trailer of the title song "Boy With Luv" in the early morning of the 27th and 28th.

The first version continued the background and action of the previous promotional poster, which was made by the nine exo people to pose on the sofa in a scattered manner, and at the same time the background sound of the prelude sounded.

The second version gives a quick close-up of each member, while also showing a brief dance on the backdrop of the stage, with the accompaniment still only in the background and no singing, this time with a chorus.

The duration of both trailers is very short, one in twenty seconds and one in thirty seconds, which adds up to less than a minute, and the melody of the song is also specially transposed, so you can't see too much.

But in this return, the MV's style is shown, a water of pink suits shows a very different style from the previous one, and the colorful hair colors of the nine people make many people overwhelmed, and they came to the SM garden, one of them, Chi Jingyuan's blue hair attracted everyone's first sight.

The trailer of the first version is okay, he just sits on the sofa with the members, but the second version is different, in addition to giving Ji Jingyuan a backlit close-up shot under the sun, at the end of the trailer, he also used the big close-up of the photo that he shot many times at the beginning of the MV, and turned around and looked back.

From the moment he stood in his position, until he half-turned to look at the camera, the biggest highlight of this segment was that he stuck out his tongue lightly but did not cut it in, it is estimated that the company put this picture that is destined to be a killing part in the official MV.

But even so, the pictures and shots in these trailers still make fans talk, in addition to the other members' looks are widely acclaimed, Ji Jingyuan's hair color, and those shots are the most concerned.

Chi Jingyuan himself thinks it's very ordinary, and the blue hair style with a bit exaggerated color makes many people and passers-by exclaim, just a turning picture of a trailer, that is, all kinds of rainbow farts such as 'I have lost my ability to speak', 'I'm dead', 'I'm too handsome', etc., and it seems that he really thinks that his hair color is very handsome.

At the same time, they also expressed strong expectations for the final title song of this EXO.

"Hurry up, hurry up and hurry up to June, I really can't wait after seeing the trailer." This message, which was booked the highest, also shows the mood of fans now.

SM and EXO took the lead, and YG was naturally not far behind, and they also released various materials for follow-up promotion, and also announced the detailed plan for the return and the time of the first stage.

With the efforts of the two companies, the previous competitive atmosphere cooled down a little, and the song industry, which had become a lot milder, seemed to rekindle the war in an instant, various announcements and reports could be seen everywhere, and the names of the two boy groups had also become a topic on the lips of Kpop fans.

The actions of the two companies are continuous, and their respective meanings are also very obvious, obviously they are very confident in the return of their own groups this time, and they are all similar to the attitude of 'playing and seeing' and 'walking and seeing', and the competition and battle that were not completed in May are placed in June.

Compared with May, which made the fight a bit anticlimactic because of the concert schedule, and there was no winner or loser, this time both sides are very confident and have invested a lot of resources in June, which is really the final decisive battle.
