Chapter 711 Nothing
"Did you overturn your car too?"
Chi Jingyuan was lying on the bed with his eyes blocked, feeling a little tired. When he was thinking about what to do next, Wu Shixun's voice came to his ears.
It was obviously a tone of curiosity and surprise, but for some reason he always felt that there was a hint of hidden joy in this voice.
Maybe it's a psychological effect, but it still makes people a little upset...
Chi Jingyuan remained motionless when faced with his roommate's doubts, as if he hadn't heard them.
"What? Really?"
Originally, Wu Shixun just tested Chi Jingyuan when he saw that he came back so early and his face was not very good. But now he calmed down after seeing his reaction. At the same time, he immediately became excited and stopped playing with his mobile phone. As soon as he swung it aside, he started chirping:
"I just saw something wrong with your face. You went on a date with Irene but came back so early... I thought you would not come back until after midnight today. If you hadn't been filming the MV tomorrow, you would have stayed up all night. …”
"You actually overturned? We were discussing it before. With your level and background, you will definitely not make the same mistake as Brother Chanyeol. It's only been a few days..."
"Has an affair been discovered?"
Wu Shixun didn't mean to comfort him at all. Instead, he talked about it with great interest, speculating on the reasons for the previous conflicts between Chi Jingyuan and Bae Zhuhyun, as if what happened to Chi Jingyuan was an idol that was boring to them recently. The best supplement in life.
You, Chi Jingyuan, are like today too... making you so arrogant!
"Where did you see it?" Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but turn his head and glance at him.
Listening to Wu Shixun talking for a long time next to him, he was a little upset at first, but as he listened, his attention was inexplicably distracted. The irritability he felt because of the awkward situation with Bae Zhuhyun suddenly became very intense. The magic dissipated a lot.
It turned into an urge to throw him off the stairs...
"Of course, coming back so early from a date that we haven't seen for so long, I can tell by your expression that it's definitely not a small problem... and Irene has such a good personality, she will definitely not take the initiative to seek trouble, even if something happens to her. Because of that factor.
"You know the decision is yours. I often send text messages to more than one person besides my girlfriend at night. I asked you before and you didn't tell me who you were... But I think there is definitely a relationship between you and you in Twice. Unusual..."
Wu Shixun felt that he had seen through Chi Jingyuan by showing off his high-level vision and judgment in front of Chi Jingyuan.
After all, Chi Jingyuan is near him every night when he sends text messages, and it’s impossible not to see him...
"But based on your personality and frequency of preferences, it's indeed time. The hot period of dating idols is only two months. I've never seen you maintain it for a longer period of time before. You and Irene have been able to date for such a long time. This already surprised me, I thought you had changed your gender..."
At the end of the sentence, he couldn't help but sigh. "Sure enough, he is still the same person I know."
"There's no one in a relationship without quarreling, and how could you tell that I've fallen out of favor?"
Chi Jingyuan could hardly bear the noise next to him. He sat up from the bed and looked at him with squinted eyes: "How do you know so well?"
"Of course that's because..."
Before Wu Shixun could boast, Do Kyungsoo, who had been listening before, suddenly intervened: "Because he had done something wrong before when he was a trainee... He was in love at school and had an affair with someone in the company."
Do Kyung-soo's voice was deep and sounded very convincing.
In the end, he seemed to feel that what he said was not complete enough, so he added: "More than once."
"Ouch..."
When Chi Jingyuan heard this, he immediately made an expression of sudden realization and looked at Wu Shixun with strange eyes: "It turns out that he has become a good doctor after a long illness?"
"Axi, how long has it been since this happened? Brother, you still remember it."
Instantly hearing the naked sarcasm in Chi Jingyuan's tone, Wu Shixun raised his head dissatisfiedly and glared at Do Kyung-soo on the upper bunk next to him. Then he didn't feel embarrassed and shrugged at Chi Jingyuan and raised an eyebrow: " He is handsome and very popular in school...you should understand."
"..."
If he said that... Chi Jingyuan could only nod in approval.
He really does understand.
Immediately afterwards, extremely curious gossips came from the side: "What on earth is going on? Is it a quarrel or a breakup? Isn't it because she found out that you were treading water in two different places? Or did you dump her when the enthusiasm faded? "
Chi Jingyuan took a long breath, leaned against the bed again, picked up the phone, and waved his hand perfunctorily: "It's nothing."
These roommates are all good people, and they are very good at observing words and expressions. It is difficult to completely disguise in front of them... and Chi Jingyuan has no intention of hiding it.
But even though it was seen, he still didn't want to talk about these things in detail. He didn't care about it, but it would not be very good for Bae Zhuhyun if word spread.
"..."
Sensing that Chi Jingyuan didn't want to talk much, the two roommates Oh Se-hun and Do Kyung-soo exchanged glances. It didn't matter if they usually joked and laughed, but at this time, it was such a personal matter that Chi Jingyuan didn't want to talk about. He was very measured and didn't ask any more questions, and the room suddenly became quiet.
Chi Jingyuan was browsing his phone. Bae Joo Hyun did not send him a text message like "I've arrived at the dormitory" with a pouting selfie as usual. The name that used to appear on the top of the phone with vibration almost every night did not appear.
Obviously, there are indeed some problems in this relationship. After some things are made clear, Bae Joo Hyun needs some time to think and decide.
However... Zhou Ziyu just sent a message, and found a signature boring topic to obviously start a chat... But Chi Jingyuan is too lazy to pay attention to her now. After reading it, he did not reply and directly browsed the news.
Ten minutes passed peacefully, and Wu Sehun, who thought he had stopped talking, suddenly spoke again:
"Actually, Irene is pretty good."
"..."
This sudden voice almost scared Chi Jingyuan. He frowned and looked over, but found that Wu Sehun was looking at his phone, sliding up and down continuously, as if he was browsing some news, and he did not look over here, as if he was just talking casually.
But his voice was a little serious.
Seeing him like this, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but laugh. He said, "You just talked for a long time, and now you are like this... So are you trying to persuade them to break up or to reconcile?"
Just now, he was talking for a long time with an attitude of "I expected it" and "You are worthy of it", as if he was cheering for Chi Jingyuan's breakup and returning to his original nature.
And now he is suddenly like this.
"If the target is someone we don't know or are not familiar with, we would generally advise them to break up, otherwise there would be no gossip to read... You see how happy other people were after the news of Chanyeol's breakup, and everyone thought he deserved to be in trouble."
Wu Se-hun pursed his lips, with his own theory, and then slowed down his voice, as if he was a little hesitant: "But as for Irene... We are all so familiar with each other, and we are in the same company, we see each other every day, and the Red Velvet practice room is on the same floor as us. If you dump her like this, how can we meet again in the future? I think..."
He paused slightly, as if organizing his words: "And Irene is also beautiful, and she is..."
"Okay."
Chi Jingyuan interrupted Wu Se-hun's nagging. He heard what this kid meant, and he actually started to speak well of Bae Joo-hyun in an abnormal way.
One of them, him, and the other, Park Chanyeol, these two sea kings have always been very free and easy in this regard, and now they are actually advising people.
It's really rare...
"What's wrong with being in the same company? Aren't SJ and Girls' Generation also in the same company? They see each other every day, and their practice rooms are on the same floor. Didn't those people break up anyway..."
Chi Jingyuan, who felt betrayed for some reason, quickly refuted his previous remarks, and then waved his hand impatiently:
"And who dumped her? I won't flip out when you get married and have children ready to quit the group. Play with your phone, and you're still worrying..."
…………
The date that lasted nearly half a month ended in an unhappy ending, and after making those things that had been stuffed in Bae Joo Hyun's heart clear, the couple who had been dating for half a year entered a cold war period and a turning point.
This change did make Chi Jingyuan feel a little irritable, but in fact he had expected this result. After all, he took the initiative to force Bae Joo Hyun to make it clear, and he also knew that no woman would want her boyfriend to have a close relationship with other opposite sex, or even have other girlfriends. Even if the girl likes him, she will be shaken, so it is natural for such a development to happen.
Although... he actually didn't consider Bae Suzy as his girlfriend.
The reason why Chi Jingyuan took that opportunity to force Bae Joo Hyun to make things clear yesterday was, firstly, because he felt that such things would have to be said sooner or later.
Secondly, he felt a little distressed and sympathetic towards Bae Joo Hyun. Usually, he would be very cautious when he took the initiative to help her. And there were some things that he knew everything in his heart, and he was obviously very upset in his heart, but he still pretended to know nothing like an ostrich, and was upset in private...
If they were just close friends, he actually didn't care, and he wouldn't care about these things. Anyway, they just took what they needed and pleased each other for a while, but if they were in a serious relationship...
... In a relationship, one of them doesn't need to be so humble.
In fact, the young lady can also be very handsome. She rolled her eyes like before, had a fierce quarrel with him, and scolded him in Daegu dialect that Ji Jingyuan could not understand, and he could not answer her...
Thinking of this scene, Ji Jingyuan suddenly became subtly interested...
It's a pity that none of them...
And they can't put all their energy in this aspect. As idols, they also have their own main jobs. The next comeback of Red Velvet will determine the life and death of the group. Whether they can become popular again and enter the competition for the top girl group, or completely flop and fall into the second line depends on this time. So for the sake of idol career and development, Bae Joo-hyun took this opportunity to calm down and focus on work and this comeback.
It's not bad to calm down a little now. Whether they continue to date in the future, he can accept it calmly.
That's his personality.
But at least now, Ji Jingyuan feels that many things are still under his control...
…………
Bae Joo-hyun was busy, and Ji Jingyuan also had his work. Although his relationship was not going well at night, he still got up early the next morning and went to the studio to shoot the remaining MVs.
The MVs of the two title songs were also focused.
Compared with the background of "LOTTO" with glitz and decadence, the MV of "Blood, Sweat and Tears" is more grand. The studio was built into a place similar to a church, and many sculptures and murals with religious atmosphere were specially set up.
The purpose is to use this serious and holy atmosphere and background to form a contrast with the overall style of the song, so as to maximize the texture and shock of the entire MV.
In fact, at the beginning, the company thought about continuing EXO's consistent concept in this song, and adding some superpower settings, concepts and metaphors such as saving the world.
But after discussion, this idea was finally rejected. In this song, the company and Ji Jingyuan did not set overly complicated concepts and metaphors. The most important thing is to show the style of the song and the charm of the members.
How handsome and sexy you can do it.
The whole song uses the contrast of angels and demons, sacredness and depravity against a background with some religious atmosphere to show the theme of the boys growing up in endless temptations and distress, and finally breaking out of the cocoon and becoming a butterfly for sublimation.
And it also just echoes the gimmick of "EXO members writing lyrics".
Chi Jingyuan is quite satisfied with the setting.
Although both songs are the main hits, there is no difference between the main and the secondary, but in fact, compared with "LOTTO", Chi Jingyuan is more optimistic about "Blood Sweat Tears".
And he thinks that the choreography of this song led by him is really sence while maintaining high difficulty.
"Yuan, when you cover your eyes, you can use a little more force on your expression..."
"Okay."
After NG once, facing the request of PD, Chi Jingyuan nodded and agreed, and practiced several times before the next shooting.
He crossed his hands to cover his eyes, opened his mouth slightly and bit his teeth, and the melody of "Blood Sweat Tears" echoed in his ears, trying his best to find that feeling.
He suddenly looked forward to the return of this song...
All the other members' individual shots had been taken before, leaving only some group dances and Chi Jingyuan's individual shots, so there was not much work to do, and one and a half days was basically enough to complete all the tasks.
After the group shots were taken, Wu Se-hun, Park Chan-yeol and Kim Jong-in left the scene first.
Today, Dior held a party for the launch of the new brand and invited some artists to participate. The three people who were invited went to the stage happily.
Fashion has always been one of the development routes that idols attach great importance to. Several people in EXO are trying to go this way. In the past, they were in contact with some local fashion brands and magazines. Some well-known big brands rarely choose idols for formal cooperation. Generally, they just stand on the stage and promote.
Before, I felt that these top European luxury brands were very far away from me, but after Chi Jingyuan became the Asia-Pacific spokesperson for GUCCI, many members suddenly felt that the distance between the two became much closer, and their ambitions grew accordingly.
If you want to cooperate with these top luxury brands, you must participate in various activities and have in-depth contact.
To put it bluntly, it is to show goodwill, go to the brand more often, wear more brand clothes, post more photos of wearing brand clothes on INS... Do this a few times, and if you are noticed, there will be a possibility of cooperation.
Even if the title of spokesperson is difficult to get, there are still some opportunities for ambassadors and close friends... After all, there are ready-made examples in the team. Ji Jingyuan was noticed by GUCCI for no reason.
Park Chanyeol and Kim Jong-in are holding this idea now. Ji Jingyuan heard from Park Jae-hyun that when he was still in Italy, several members asked the company through their agents and some channels to have more schedules in this regard.
Ji Jingyuan had no opinion on this and sincerely wished him well.
It would be great if it was that simple...
But it is also good that someone is willing to explore the way first.
…
The black nanny car drove quickly on the highway, and Ji Jingyuan and the members of EXO sat on it for a rest.
The new round of 2016, the fifth SM Town Family Concert, will be held in Neon on the 16th. All the artists did not go together but in batches. At this time, EXO was on the way to the airport.
...So what Wu Se-hun said before makes sense. It is said that a cold war has begun. There has been no contact or meeting in the past two days, but it will not be long before EXO and Red Velvet meet again because of schedules. At that time, it is estimated that the hotel will be booked on the first floor, and there may be interaction on the stage...
"It will be here soon. Check yourselves. Baekhyun and Junmyeon, both of you put on your hats. I asked you to get up early, but you didn't get up. You didn't put on makeup. Look in the mirror and see your current state... Don't let anyone take pictures."
The nanny car is about to arrive at Incheon International Airport. Lee Seung-hwan sits in the co-pilot and instructs the EXO members behind.
Ji Jingyuan glanced at the two people named beside him when he heard the words... There are members like him in EXO who look good with or without makeup, and are also extremely superior without makeup.
But there are also contestants with a huge contrast between makeup and without makeup. The two named are representatives of them. When showing airport fashion, if they don’t have makeup done, they have to wear a hat or other disguise to cover it...
"Take your things, there must be reporters squatting at the airport."
As he said, Li Chenghuan looked at Ji Jingyuan: "Especially Jingyuan, there must be a lot of people coming specifically for you, you should pay attention yourself, and don’t say too much if there is an interview."
Since the end of June, Ji Jingyuan has been absent from EXO's music activities, and then disappeared from the camera and fans' field of vision. In nearly half a month, he has almost never shown up, causing heated speculation from the outside world.
After returning to Seoul two days ago, he was shooting MVs and practicing stages. He did not participate in formal activities and has never made a public appearance. Although he once met a fan in a restaurant and was posted on Instagram and became a hot search, many people still doubt the authenticity of the matter.
Today's flight to Tokyo was the first time he appeared in front of the media after such a long time. Every time EXO entered or left the country, there would be many fans and reporters waiting for interviews or support. This time, the schedule of SM TOWN was public. Everyone knew that EXO would fly to Tokyo today. It is conceivable that many reporters and fans would come after hearing the news.
"Don't worry, brother."
Chi Jingyuan nodded, looking a little casual.
This kind of thing is not difficult for him. After being an idol for a few years, he has experienced too many things. Now he can even face the flash without blinking.
And he didn't want to be interviewed at all.
Soon after arriving at the destination, the nanny car stopped. Looking through the window, it was not surprising that there were a lot of people waiting at the airport today. Many of them were reporters with long guns and short guns, and more of them were holding banners, a very young group of Aili.
Before the car was stable, many people rushed in from all around, standing behind the fence, looking at the car expectantly and eagerly. Soon, the door opened and the members of EXO walked down one by one. When Chi Jingyuan in the car just lowered his head and was about to step on the ground, a piercing scream flew into his eardrum:
"Ah, here they come!"
"Yuan is here too!"
