Chapter 92: Don't Listen to Her Bragging

Although the sentencing for drunk driving will not be very serious, the people of the peninsula hate this very much, and it is not the first time, even if Qiangren will not quit the group this time, there will definitely not be much development in the future, these are all wanted.

There are too many seniors in the Peninsula entertainment industry who are constantly admonishing their juniors with their own experiences, whether it is SM's SJ or YG's Bigbang, who have set an example for them to demonstrate the importance of abiding by the law.

But it can't be helped, the environment and character are like this, and there are always many people who go forward one after another to become new negative examples.

Fortunately, the circle around Chi Jingyuan belongs to a relatively normal type, although some of the friends in it have the habit of changing a girlfriend a month, or stepping on a few boats, etc., which is despicable, but they are all relatively well-behaved in this regard.

After chatting for a while, the hottest topic within the company recently, Sun Shengwan suddenly mentioned the matter of EXO: "By the way, you XO is coming back soon, right?" It's the look of the super handsome battle-damaged makeup I saw last time in the company......"

Some time ago, Sun Shengwan saw a few people in the company who were wearing full makeup because they were going to shoot the MV of "Monster", and this strong style of styling amazed her at that time, and she was even faintly envious, and she still mentioned it from time to time until now.

She seemed to remember the scene at that time, and her expression was very vivid: "Wow, I really ate this war-damaged makeup style, especially this darker style, it's really super handsome...... When will we be able to have an album in this style again? ”

With longing in her eyes, she seemed to have imagined what she would be like when she wore similar makeup and sang handsome songs......

Jiang Shiqi let go of the straw in his mouth and added: "I also like this style." ”

Aren't you guys a sweet girl now, and you still sang non-stop at 'Ice Cream Cake' last year......

Chi Jingyuan looked at the two relatives who started YY on the other side, and didn't know what to say.

But it's not impossible, the concept of Red Velvet is divided into two different styles: 'Red' and 'Velvet', Red focuses on sweet and cute, and Velvet can try the dark style.

It's just that Ji Jingyuan couldn't imagine what Pei Joo-hyun's style should be like for a while......

It is even harder to imagine what the exaggerated expression in front of him, Sun Shengwan, and Jiang Shiqi, who puffs out his cheeks and can't open his eyes without smiling, will look like in a dark style.

Forget it......

"Well, it's almost there, it's officially released on June 9th, and it's a little more than a week away." Wu Shixun nodded and said, "We have been busy preparing for the past few days. ”

"Oh, I'm looking forward to it...... So how much do you pre-sell this album now? It should be half a million, right? Jiang Shiqi poked her head and asked curiously.

EXO has opened the pre-sale channel five days ago, and at that time, it was also on the hot search because of the hot discussion among fans, and everyone knew that it was selling very well, but the company has not disclosed specific data at present, and the outside world is guessing by the number of various channels.

Jiang Shiqi felt that his prediction should be quite accurate, although it sold very well, but it was not only five days......

Wu Shixun glanced at her, stopped talking when he heard what he was going to say, looked at Chi Jingyuan next to him, and said with some reserve: "It's almost a million." ”

After the pre-sale of EXO opened, it was actually booked more than 700,000 on the first day, and it continued to grow rapidly in the following days, and it was about to exceed 1 million yesterday.

It's been almost a year since last year's regular two, and it's been more than half a year since the winter school, which is already a very slow return frequency in the music industry. The Alice really wanted to spend money to buy albums during this time, but they couldn't find a chance, so they could only buy some concert CDs, photos, and peripherals to support idols.

It's just that there are also many fans who don't like to buy things like peripherals, they only like to move albums, so after such a long time, these fans have already been hungry and thirsty, and they can't wait, and they just opened the pre-sale and began to unabashedly release their enthusiasm.

This time, the highlight of EXO's regular three albums is that the two main themes are completely opposite styles, "Missing" is both lyrical and pop, as well as the high-pole arrangement and choreography of "monster", especially the first attempt at dark style of battle damage makeup is extremely impactful, which can be regarded as the pinnacle makeup since EXO's debut.

But if you want to talk about the planning, and the quality of the songs, it's actually not as explosive as last year's regular second album, but the quality of last year's regular second album can't be found in the entire Kpop years, even if SM and Ji Jingyuan are difficult to replicate now......

…… However, this kind of album that has seen quality for several years appeared in EXO and Bigbang last year, creating a wonderful showdown between the two boy groups, and 2015 is worthy of being called the peak year of Kpop by many people.

Although the quality of the song and the planning are not as good as last year, it is definitely well-made, and this time there is no continuous foreshadowing of the four single albums like last year, and it does not distract the energy and money of fans, but it is directly the highlight of the regular three albums, so it will not be affected too much in terms of sales.

Last year, EXO created a miracle of one million in a single specialty, and this year it is estimated that there will be another pre-sale of one million.

However, 1 million is not something to be excited about for EXO and SM, and what they are most satisfied with is the composition of sales.

At present, the composition of this million is very interesting, of which more than 300,000 are from Xia, 500,000 are from China, and the last more than 200,000 are all from overseas, Europe and the United States, and they are constantly increasing.

The first two figures are normal, and it is not surprising that the latter is a significant improvement compared to last year, which also proves that the company and EXO are very effective in developing overseas markets......

"Now it's only been five days for pre-sales, and it's already a million? This is just the original version, and when the subsequent re-release albums come out, it will add up to the same as last year? ”

"OMO, this sales figure always looks like we are not a world......" Jiang Shiqi found that she was still too conservative.

Their red velvet sold 60,000 or 70,000 last time, which is considered a very good first-line result in the Kpop girl group, and a considerable part of them were bought by Bae Joo-hyun's only fans...... Bae Joo-hyun brought a lot of exposure to red velvet through the MC of "Music Bank" and the CP of Yinyin, and also increased a lot of national popularity and attracted a lot of fans.

Sixty or seventy thousand girl groups are already counted as a first-line in Kpop, but what about EXO, the statistical units have changed, what is it, Epop?

"If only we could share one-tenth of it......" Sun Shengwan started YY again, blinking his eyes and began to fantasize, his face full of happiness: "Wow, I don't dare to think about it, hahaha......"

Obviously, they are all in a circle and a profession, but there is a combination of data that is completely disconnected, as if it is not a world, and the shock to people in the same industry is even more than fans.

Because they know best how hard it can be.

"Don't talk about this......" may have felt that this topic was indeed a bit shocking, Wu Shixun, who was more concerned about his friend's emotions, waved his hand and took the initiative to mention something else: "What is the current situation of your red velvet, do you have a plan for the new album?" ”

"Yes, the title song is almost set." It's also quite shocking to be too far away from XO, and Jiang Shiqi didn't say much more, but Wu Shixun mentioned that she was also interested in her combination, and began to sell Guan Zi with a smile: "We all listened to it, the melody is very good and brainwashing...... Guess what this song is about? ”

"What? Chocolate cake?" Chi Jingyuan casually said.

"Ani, what......" glanced at him dissatisfied, Jiang Shiqi leaned over and said mysteriously: "It's about random killing!" ”

“mo? Really? ”

"Of course, I'll tell you......"

Listening to the two people next to him who were enthusiastic about Wu Shixun's popular science, Chi Jingyuan was drinking a drink with a lack of interest, and he didn't listen very seriously.

Because he'd heard from their captain before......

After chatting for a while, everyone's drinks were already empty and they were about to leave, Wu Shixun remembered something, looked at Chi Jingyuan and asked, "By the way, you and Brother Junxiu are going to participate in Baeksang together in two days, right?" You all seem to have been selected for the popularity award? ”

As soon as he said this, the attention of several people turned.

"It's together." Chi Jingyuan nodded: "But don't sit together, and the award is not a category, he is in the film category, the crew of "Innocence", I am the TV category, and the crew of "Signal". ”

"It's cunning...... I know that if I win an award with you, I can't beat you. Oh Se-hoon has some dark speculation, his acting career suffered some setbacks in last year's "My Neighbor is EXO", and at this time he has fallen behind a lot of positions among the members of EXO.

"I really won't necessarily win the popularity award this time." Ji Jingyuan shook his head and finished his last sip of drink, and there was a crisp sound of air from the straw.

"Shuangsong CP is really powerful, but the popularity award is not important, Jingyuan, didn't you also be selected for the best actor, it seems that there is a best fashion award......" Looking at Chi Jingyuan, it seemed that he was not very interested, and Sun Shengwan hurriedly encouraged him at this time: "Do you have confidence?" ”

Chi Jingyuan looked at him a little strangely: "Do you know so well?" ”

If you know the popularity award and the best actor candidates, you can even know that I have a place for the best fashion award...... Are you a fan of me?

"We're close to each other, of course I'm concerned about your awards!" Sun Shengwan's face was taken for granted, and at the same time he looked at him with blinking eyes, looking like he was begging for praise: "I know every one of your awards, I will pay attention to it on the first day the list comes out, and I often vote for your popularity award!" ”

"Jingyuan, don't listen to her bragging." Jiang Shiqi immediately laughed and debunked her: "Actually, it was all said by Zhu Hyun Oni when she was chatting some time ago, and she said this...... We all heard it from her. ”

"Oh......"

Hearing this, Chi Jingyuan nodded knowingly, and the feeling in his heart was a little wonderful.

Then he smiled and looked at Sun Shengwan and the two people who were dissatisfied with Jiang Shiqi after being debunked in front of him, and only after Jiang Shiqi surrendered and begged for mercy that the two returned to normal, he shook his head: "I don't have much confidence, it should be difficult." ”

He didn't seem to have much energy and didn't seem very interested in the awards.

Seeing Chi Jingyuan's appearance, Jiang Shiqi and Sun Shengwan hurriedly comforted when they saw this, and you sang along with me and encouraged:

"Gee, it's really amazing to be nominated! Do you think which idol actor can nominate Shidi now? And Jingyuan, you've already done it twice. ”

"That is, if I can film and then be selected for Best Actress, I don't know how happy I will be."

"The drama is so popular, the awards don't really matter!"

"That's it......"

"You two are still comforting him, do you know how high the script sent to him can be stacked on the table?"

“……”

Listening to the sound that couldn't be stopped in his ears, Chi Jingyuan looked at the expressions of several relatives, blinked, and couldn't help laughing:

"Yes."

…………

"Can you open it now?"

Ji Jingyuan took the hand card with the name of the winner written on it from the PD at the scene, looked down at it, and then looked at the PD and made a joke.

At this time, he is backstage at the Peace Hall of Kyung Hee University, and at the same time backstage at the 52nd Baeksang Art Awards.

Today is June 3rd, and it is also the day of Baeksang to be held, and Ji Jingyuan, who has been waiting for several days, got up early in the morning to prepare for the show with Du Jun, who is also going to participate, doing styling, applying makeup, awards rehearsal, afternoon tea party, and the red carpet before the opening.

Although there is no stage, as a guest of honor, there is also a process rehearsal.

In the red carpet link, Ji Jingyuan walked with Zhao Zhenxiong and Kim Hye-so, and the appearance of the trio of "Signal" caused extremely enthusiastic screams, and many Aili who came to the scene also gave very enthusiastic support, showing a superior popularity.

But the highlight of the red carpet was not them, but Song Joong Ki and Song Hye Kyo, who appeared at the end, these two came down holding hands from the same car, of course, it brought the scene to a climax.

Even Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but sigh when he heard this cheer, the real CP of the 'Queen Mother' CP is really the general trend of the royal road.

After walking the red carpet, Ji Jingyuan did not go directly to the hall to sit down and wait for the live broadcast to start, but came to the backstage position first, because after a while, the first award presented at the beginning of the party was this year's Best Newcomer Actor and Actress, and he would serve as the award guest as last year's Best Newcomer Actor.

At this time, he was sitting on the sofa in the lounge, his crisp black suit fit perfectly, his neat and delicate short hair was taken care of in a completely different style from the stage, and the more natural, light makeup also showed a different feeling from the water and skin of most of the actors.

"Jing Yuan Xi's words, it doesn't matter if you want to see it." PD was also very interesting, and was slightly stunned when he heard his words, and then immediately smiled and directly reached out and motioned him to open it.

Chi Jingyuan also smiled, shook his head, put away the small card in his hand and clenched it: "Forget it, let's leave a suspense." ”

After the joke, PD talked to them a little about waiting for the stage, but he didn't say much about the rehearsal before, and after chatting a few words, he went to the side to explain other things to the general manager.

At this time, Gao Ixing, who was sitting next to him and was wearing a dress, looked at him and asked with a smile, "Jing Yuanxi thinks whose name will be written in it?" ”

Gao Ixing is the partner of the best newcomer actor with him, and he is also the best newcomer actress last year, a young generation actress born in 92, who has played a number of movies and TV series, belonging to the film and TV series amphibious, representative works include "Snowpiercer", and the daughter of the protagonist in the classic movie "Han River Monster" directed by Bong Joon-ho.

In the past few years, he has cooperated with the great director Bong Joon-ho many times, and the development is very good, and he also signed a contract with a Hollywood agency to take the international route.

But since then, it seems that the two years have started to be a little uncomfortable, and the big resource movies have not been acted in much, and they have not received too good TV drama roles, and it was announced two days ago that they will star in the neon TV series "Season 4 of the Late Night Canteen".

However, Gao Ixing debuted in the TV series "Sad Love Song" in 2005, and only won the best newcomer in the TV category in 2015, and Baeksang's review mechanism is really interesting.

Ji Jingyuan turned his head, glanced at her, then looked at the small card in his hand, thought about it and said with a smile: "Liu Junlie or Lu Xingcai, I guess it should be Liu Junlie." ”

"Please Answer 1988" was selected for the best newcomer actor alone, and it is really unreasonable not to award them, and Yoo Junyeol is the most outstanding one in it.

But then he always felt that Gao Ixing looked a bit like a certain female idol he had seen, but he couldn't remember who it was for a while.

"What about the actress?" Gao Ixing blinked and continued to answer.

"Then I can't guess it......" Chi Jingyuan squinted his eyes: "It just so happens that PD is not here, why don't you secretly take it apart and take a look?" ”

"Haha......" Gao Ixing laughed as he covered his mouth.

While chatting casually, Ji Jingyuan looked at the large-screen monitor in front of him, at this time the live broadcast had begun, after the two gagman Yoon Jung-so and Kim Shu came to the stage just now to make an opening and enliven the atmosphere, the real two hosts have also stepped onto the stage, the male MC is the host evergreen Shin Dongye, and his eyes are locked on the female MC next to him.

Coincidentally, tonight's female MC happens to be Bae Suzhi.
