Peninsula Asteroid

"Okay, tomorrow's concert should be fine, everyone has worked hard."

After another day of busy work, when the practice ended on the morning of the 26th, the director and the dance teacher announced together that the rehearsal of the repertoire for the EXO concert had almost been completed.

As for the rest of the songs, don't worry too much. After the performance comes back, I will take it slowly. After all, I don't need it for the time being. Re-partitioning, re-recording and other tasks are not very urgent now.

"Ah, it's finally done."

"This kind of work feels more tiring than releasing a new album."

"Nonsense, we have practiced this countless times before, it must be tiring to do it again..."

After hearing the words, all the members breathed a sigh of relief, and sighed a few words in a low voice as if venting.

Tao and Lay were also relaxed for a while. They have seldom talked in the past few days, and they have been gritted their teeth and practiced with the members with something in their hearts.

The practice in the past few days has also made all the members a little overwhelmed. Now that it is finally completed, we can take a little rest.

"Thanks for your hard work." Everyone bowed to the dance teachers to express their gratitude, and then disbanded after chatting for a few words, planning to go out for dinner together.

At this moment, Chi Jingyuan's cell phone rang. He looked down and found that it was Pei Xiuzhi's phone. After thinking for a while, he walked to the window and connected it.

"Jingyuan, let's go to that store first, come quickly." Jin Junmian looked back at Chi Jingyuan's movements and then shouted at him.

Chi Jingyuan turned around and made an 'ok' gesture, watched the members go out and continued talking on the phone, talked for a while, and hung up after making an appointment.

A few days ago, Pei Xiuzhi called to ask him out, but Chi Jingyuan was so busy that he couldn't spare time.

But I'm free today.

After tidying up, Chi Jingyuan put on his hat and bag, walked out of the practice room, closed the door, and walked towards the elevator.

Just before he took two steps, five people came in front of him.

Chi Jingyuan glanced over and found that they happened to be Pei Zhuxuan, the four members of the new girl group project, followed by a short, chubby woman in her thirties who wore glasses.

"Jing Yuan." As soon as they saw him, Jiang Seulqi and Sun Shengwan ran over while happily waving their hands several meters away.

Pei Zhuxuan, who was walking behind with his head slightly lowered, also looked over, blinked his eyes and smiled and quickened his pace.

"Just finished eating?" Chi Jingyuan asked as he punched Sun Shengwan, who was the fastest runner, and she wrinkled her face and couldn't help shaking her arms and legs and screaming for pain.

"Nai, I just came back from having dinner with Huiying Oni." Jiang Seulqi nodded and turned to look at the last woman.

Chi Jingyuan had met this middle-aged woman several times in the company. Her name was Quan Huiying. I remembered that she should be in the SM artist management department. It seemed that she was now one of the managers of the new girl group.

"Jingyuan..." Quan Huiying came over and greeted Chi Jingyuan with a smile. Her attitude was the same as before. Park Xiurong was a little dazed. She felt that this manager who had been managing them very strictly since the contact People seem to suddenly become different people.

"Director Quan Huiying." Chi Jingyuan also smiled and gently returned the greeting, and at the same time exchanged glances with Pei Zhuxuan who was looking at him next to him.

"Oh, last time I said it's Nu that's fine." Jeon Hye-young pretended to complain and waved her hand, then glanced away and nodded with a smile: "I heard before that Seul-gi and the others have a very close relationship with you." Good old friends, let's just chat for a while when we met by chance today, I'll wait for you in the practice room."

As she spoke, she didn't stop, and after nodding to Chi Jingyuan, she left and walked towards the practice room.

A very good broker. Chi Jingyuan looked at her figure and gave an impression.

"Hey Yigu, as expected of you."

Sun Shengwan's hands didn't hurt anymore, he frowned and opened his mouth to look at Quan Huiying's leaving back, and after he disappeared completely, he looked at Chi Jingyuan again and smacked his lips: "Huiying Oni usually treats us But it's strict, you have to control everything, that is, you should be a little more relaxed when talking to Zhuxuan Oni... I didn't expect you to look like this when I met you, tsk tsk."

"It's the same as the first time you saw it. Did you forget where Li Meizhu was from before?" Chi Jingyuan glanced at her, and Sun Shengwan's rich expression always made him feel very interesting, very straightforward and unaffected.

"Oh, I remembered, indeed, hahaha." Sun Shengwan laughed when he remembered the incident at the time, and sighed: "As expected of the company's famous royal family..."

"Mi Ah Nei." In the middle of speaking, she suddenly stopped and covered her mouth with her hands, as if she wanted to seal her mouth, and then looked at Chi Jingyuan with an apologetic expression.

In the past two days, a lot of black fans on the Internet have been spraying Chi Jingyuan is the royal family, and the various comments and speeches are also ugly. Sun Shengwan, who has read these comments, feels that he has said the wrong thing.

"It's okay, other aspects may be made up randomly, but they are not wrong on this point, right." Chi Jingyuan laughed and shrugged at her, as if he was not affected by the outside world at all. .

Seeing Chi Jingyuan like this, Sun Shengwan felt relieved, blinked and made a strange face.

Chi Jingyuan looked at Jiang Seulqi and Pei Zhuxuan: "Has the time been set?"

"Inside, the debut song is a digital single. It will officially debut on "Music Bank" on August 1st and perform the first stage. The MV and sound source will be announced two days later. The news will be released on the 27th of this month, and a teaser video will be released."

Jiang Seulqi nodded, and replied with a smile. When it came to this, whether it was her, Pei Zhuxuan, Son Seungwan or even Park Sooyoung, they were all full of joy, and the look of anticipation in their eyes could not be concealed at all.

Hearing that the digital single will be released, Chi Jingyuan knows it well, and as expected, there is no time to prepare the album at all.

He then asked: "What about the debut showcase, when?"

"Well, we didn't have a debut showcase..." Jiang Seulqi smiled embarrassingly.

"Because we made our debut a lot earlier and the company didn't prepare, and we didn't promote much before and we don't have much fan base. Even if we do a showcase, we don't think many people will come." Pei Zhuxuan took the words and explained, as if comforting themselves .

Chi Jingyuan who didn't debut in a showcase was really unexpected, and immediately felt that the company didn't pay much attention to them.

But what Pei Zhuxuan said is also reasonable.

"By the way, we have moved into the new dormitory, which is in the JB area."

"That's pretty close to our XO dormitory."

"And we won't be able to use our mobile phones soon." Pei Zhuxuan thought of something, his expression was not very good-looking, and he added: "Hui Ying Oni said that after the official debut, we will put our mobile phones away during the running schedule. Give it back to us when we go back tonight."

"I don't know if I will pay it back." Park Xiurong followed, with an expression of disbelief.

Chi Jingyuan nodded, quite understanding in his heart.

Before debut and after debut, there are two completely different situations for many girls. During the trainee period, they only need to practice hard to win the debut. After becoming an idol, they face more things all of a sudden. This kind of pressure or temptation will come from all directions. People with poor tolerance or self-control ability will easily go astray or have problems. At this time, the company's stricter control is actually quite correct.

Hearing that Pei Zhuxuan's voice was dissatisfied with receiving the phone, Chi Jingyuan looked at her with a smile, and met her eyes for a few seconds, then she took the initiative to look away from her line of sight, her face flushed and shriveled Mouth.

Chi Jingyuan laughed, looked at Jiang Seulqi and asked, "What's the name of your group, have you figured it out?"

"The company has confirmed it before, it's called red velvet, 'R''e''d''v''e'...Red velvet." Jiang Seulqi laughed again, with a feeling of showing off After saying the name of their new girl group, they also read each letter individually, for fear that Chi Jingyuan wouldn't understand.

"red velvet?" Hearing Jiang Seulqi's final pronunciation, Chi Jingyuan paused for a moment, and then repeated it in very standard American English.

The pronunciation of American English and Korean English is very different in the pronunciation of some words. It is obvious that red velvet has several syllables, but Jiang Seulqi pronounced it directly as "Lede Babe", which made Chi Jingyuan think he was Misheard.

"Hey, Ryder Babe." Seulgi nodded, as if she didn't feel that there was anything wrong.

"red velvet?" He tried to correct it again.

"Baby Ryder."

Chi Jingyuan pursed his lips, and after a short consideration for a second, he decided to do as the Romans do, and gestured: "OK, Ryder Beibei."

Sun Shengwan, who was next to him, burst out laughing watching the conversation between the two, covered his mouth and looked at the helpless Chi Jingyuan, then she blinked and pointed at him, expressing that I understand your feelings.

Sun Shengwan studied in Canada before, and he speaks English fluently. He must have made a lot of efforts and sacrifices to integrate into the team's local pronunciation.

No longer struggling with the pronunciation, Chi Jingyuan chewed on the name of the group and asked curiously, "What does Led Beibei mean, red velvet?"

"Ahem..." Pei Zhuxuan cleared her throat at this time, stood up and looked at Chi Jingyuan, and introduced it solemnly: "red velvet is a red 'red' full of strong and charming colors. A soft, feminine object velvet 'velvet' combined with the name, is the expectation...”

"Where are you reciting? Can you be a little emotional, Irene xi, you are still the captain?" Seeing Pei Zhuxuan pause for a second from time to time, raising his eyes to think about it, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help interrupting her recitation , Speechlessly threw her a look.

"Hahaha..." The people next to him immediately laughed loudly, and Pei Zhuxuan, who was halfway through the recitation, was choked up suddenly, and wrinkled his nose angrily and gouged him out.

"That's enough, I won't talk to you guys anymore, they are still waiting for me to eat." After saying a few words, Chi Jingyuan looked at the time, smiled and waved goodbye, ready to be serious.

"Bye bye..." The four of them also bid farewell to him, and the atmosphere of smiling was very good.

"Yuan xi." Chi Jingyuan was stopped by Pei Zhuxuan just two steps away. He looked back suspiciously, only to see Pei Zhuxuan looking at him with twinkling eyes, stretched out a finger, and emphasized it again: "8 Are you free on the 1st of the month?."

"Hee hee, it's August 1st." Jiang Seqi and the others also understood what the captain meant, and danced and gestured accordingly.

But Chi Jingyuan turned around and spread his hands together: "We will have a concert in Xiaguo on August 2nd..."

Several people were a little disappointed when they heard that, but Pei Zhuxuan quickly smoothed his hair and smiled sweetly at him: "Of course the concert is more important."

At the same time, she raised her fist in support: "fightng!"

Chi Jingyuan also made a fist with a smile: "You too, fighthitng! Ryder Babe!"

After saying goodbye, Chi Jingyuan got on the elevator and rushed towards the restaurant that he had agreed with the members. While walking, he couldn't help thinking about the new girl group Red Velvet.

Although it has not been officially announced yet, there have been rumors that 'SM is about to launch a new girl group' on the Internet during this period of time. There are even a few members, and probably anyone in it is quite accurate. I guess it should be SM. The company itself released the rumors and wanted to test the water.

However, in the past two days, the comments on 'SM's new girl group' on the Internet have been very negative. There are not many people who expressed their expectations and love. Passers-by, especially the fans of SM's own senior groups are the most fierce and opposed,

Chi Jingyuan also knew in his heart that the company made Hong Beibei's debut so long in advance, but he didn't say much when he saw that Pei Zhuxuan and the others were so happy and looking forward to it, he just cheered for them as friends.

They are not blind and deaf, and they must be more or less aware of it in their hearts, and they can see the trend on the Internet in the past two days.

But no matter how bad it is, it doesn't matter compared to debuting.

Although it has not been officially announced yet, the outside public opinion has begun to be very unfavorable to them, and I don't know what will happen when the company officially announces red velvet's debut.

Maybe because the quality of the debut song is so high, it may not be a turnaround against the wind?

…………

"Why don't you look sad at all? I remember hearing you say that you and Luhan have a good relationship last time, don't you?"

Pei Xiuzhi sat next to the dining table, took a piece of pizza with her hands and ate two bites, looked at Chi Jingyuan who was so hungry and happily eating pizza, and asked curiously.

After eating at noon, EXO returned to the company and put an end to the last arrangement. After everything was ready for the concert, the qualified members went to travel with their managers and assistants, and those who didn't have it temporarily disbanded.

After Chi Jingyuan went to participate in a brand promotion event, he had nothing else to do today. When it was the appointed time with Pei Xiuzhi, he went directly to the agreed place, which was the high-end apartment in Longshan District where the two met last time inside.

Pei Xiuzhi arrived in a while, and she is probably quite anxious after not seeing her for a while. The one-shoulder bat shirt and shorts look very hot, and the carefully painted makeup on the face is quite seductive overall. .

After she came in, the door was closed, she didn't even change her shoes, she exchanged a glance with Chi Jingyuan, then took the initiative to hug him, hugged each other, stumbled into the bedroom and rolled together.

It wasn't until it was about to turn dark that the two of them took a shower and put on their clothes again and walked out. Chi Jingyuan, who was already very hungry, called and ordered a takeaway, and ate it quickly after it was delivered.

Hearing this, he raised his head and glanced at Pei Xiuzhi. At this time, she was wearing a pure white T-shirt that was one size larger. The collarbone and the bottom were not buttoned, and the cuffs were rolled up to the elbows. The slightly longer hem covered the thighs. , with two unadorned long legs stretched out to the side and stacked together, the whole person looks lazy and charming.

"It's not bad. Luhan has a good personality, and he has a good relationship with all the members." Chi Jingyuan nodded and swallowed a piece of shawl: "He was in a complicated mood when he first left. After all, we have been together for two years. It has been more than a year, from the trough to the peak...but so many days have passed, and now I don’t feel much about it.”

"On the contrary, we still have to clean up a bunch of messes left by him. Even though I really understand him, I feel a little uncomfortable when I mention him now."

Not hiding much, Chi Jingyuan casually talked about his state of mind in the past few days.

Some time ago, Pei Xiuzhi seemed to have a peep into Chi Jingyuan's extraordinary family background, and his original thoughts were deflected a little. In those days, he often sent messages and felt that he wanted to have a serious relationship.

However, after Chi Jingyuan gave a brief hint, she also quickly understood, and took the initiative to restore the previous way of getting along with the two of them.

Chi Jingyuan feels pretty good about getting along with Pei Xiuzhi, a way of getting along with each other when they meet each other. Although he can't get emotional satisfaction and feedback, it's pretty easy and doesn't need to think too much about it.

And he felt that Pei Xiuzhi was the most attractive when they were pushing and pulling each other before, and he was able to attract his own eyes.

As he said that, he looked at Pei Xiuzhi: "Don't you also have Xia Guo members in your group? Don't worry about them running away?"

"Oh." Pei Xiuzhi smiled strangely, curled her lips and said nonchalantly: "They can run if they want... Even if they don't run, our combination probably won't last long. The company has been very troubled in the past two years , we have no plans to come back this year, and we don't know..."

Chi Jingyuan felt that the atmosphere in Missa's team might really be a bit ordinary, and she was obviously a little uncomfortable talking about this topic with Pei Xiuzhi a few times.

Pei Xiuzhi is not very old, so she debuted at such a young age and was cultivated by the company to become a cash cow for the company. I feel that she is not the kind of character who can measure teammates well and understand how to get along with others, plus her own popularity. It's easy to be envied and jealous, and the little jiujiuchijingyuan between girls is probably understandable.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this..." Pei Xiuzhi took the initiative to change the subject, took a piece of sprinkles with his hand, and sent it to Chi Jingyuan's mouth, and smiled as if remembering something: "I still remember the last time I met in the club." Those neon trainees who arrived? I met them at the company a few days ago..."

"Then what?"

"I stopped specifically at that time, stared at them with a stern face on purpose to surprise them, stood by the side and saluted tremblingly, not daring to say a word, panicked to death, as if I was going to trouble them. " Pei Xiuzhi said casually as if telling a joke, and at the same time seemed to remember the scene at that time and couldn't help laughing.

He frowned and glanced at Pei Xiuzhi: "Why are you bullying other neon trainees?"

"Why, do you feel distressed? With your personality, it shouldn't be so, I just met..." Pei Xiuzhi glanced at Chi Jingyuan, raised his eyes and thought for a while: "By the way, I asked you for your contact information before we parted last time." Is that female trainee the one with several moles on her face?"

Chewing the pizza, Chi Jingyuan's cheeks were bulging, and he glanced at her and replied without thinking: "I forgot, what's wrong?"

In fact, he remembered it, and he was quite impressed, but after hearing Pei Xiuzhi's bad taste just now, he didn't want to tell her anymore.

Pei Xiuzhi squinted at him with the corner of her mouth turned up, she chuckled and didn't care, and continued: "That girl was secretly observing me when she was saluting, and she felt that she regarded me as your girlfriend."

The tone is playful, as if pointing.

"..." Chi Jingyuan blinked and did not answer, clapped his hands after eating the last piece, and changed the subject as if he was interested: "I remember that your company has a girl group that is preparing to debut Is it? It’s called 6mix, it seems to be debuting in April, and they came to our lounge to meet, why can’t I hear anything now?”

"It was postponed because of that incident at the time. Later, when I wanted to restart the debut project, some members quit and it was postponed again. After that, I didn't pay attention to it."

After explaining casually, Pei Xiuzhi felt a little impatient, raised one foot and rubbed it on Chi Jingyuan's leg: "Why do you keep talking about this?"

"Didn't you mention it?" Chi Jingyuan frowned and looked over, his legs closed to pinch her feet.

After trying for a while and finding that her feet couldn't be pulled back, Pei Xiuzhi simply got up and sat leaning on Chi Jingyuan's lap, hugging his neck, lowering her head and sniffing against each other: "Really? I forgot."

"When are you going back tonight?"

"It's not now anyway..."

…………

After completing all the preparatory work, on the evening of July 26, EXO 11 members went to Seoul Incheon Airport with the team. Tomorrow they will continue to carry out a tour of performances at the HL Sports Center in Star City.

This is also EXO's first concert after Luhan's resignation incident, and it is still held in mainland China, where there is still a lot of quarrels on the Internet, and Lu fans and XO fans are arguing endlessly. Both the members and SM themselves are actually under a lot of pressure .

Because the members of EXO have not spoken out to the outside world for a long time, after a week passed, the heat of Luhan’s resignation from the team on Peninsula Online still hasn’t dissipated.

This time at the airport, all members of EXO wore hats and masks, so as not to be photographed in misleading photos. Chi Jingyuan's "sad photo at the airport" has been reposted on many forums these days, which really made him The fans feel distressed.

With the help of the assistant, he managed to squeeze the reporter away and entered the waiting hall. After a short rest, he finally boarded the plane.

Chi Jingyuan habitually sat in the seat near the aisle at the back. He leaned his head and looked at the three or four assistants sitting next to Lay and Tao in front of him, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

After Luhan ran away, the plummeting stock price and the group ridicule on the Internet really caused SM company to fall hard, and they learned a lot from a fall. They immediately strengthened their control over the remaining two members of Xia Guo in the EXO team. and management.

The company is also very clear that there are many economic companies in Xia Kingdom who want to poach jobs. During this trip to the mainland, Tao and Lay each have at least three assistants to serve them.

It is said to be an assistant, but everyone knows what it is actually doing.

Chi Jingyuan couldn't see the expressions on Tao and Lay's faces from behind, and he didn't know what they were doing now, but they must not be in a good mood.

After several hours of flight, the plane landed at Xingcheng Airport. After a series of checks, the XO group walked out of the airport. As usual, there were still many fans waiting there to pick them up.

It's just that this time the fans' cheers were mixed with the voices of several female fans shouting 'luhan' and 'luhan' heartbreakingly, which was very ear-piercing amidst the welcoming voices.

In this situation, it is also impossible for EXO to stay and give fan benefits. They thanked the fans who picked them up at the airport, and then quickly boarded the bus and drove to the hotel.

This time, the company didn't dare to let them disband and run around. After arriving at the hotel, they went back to the room to rest and recharge their batteries for the next day's concert.

While lying on the bed, Chi Jingyuan was still thinking, where should those assistants following Lay and Tao sleep at night?

Do you sleep in your own room, or sleep with them, or squat at the door all the time?

well……

The night passed quickly, and when EXO went to the gymnasium for rehearsal on the 27th, SM also announced on the official accounts of Peninsula and Xiaguo that the new girl group red velvet will officially debut on August 1 , and released the teaser video for their debut song "Happiness".

During the rehearsal break, Chi Jingyuan took out his mobile phone to watch the teaser video when he returned home.

Although the trailer video is very short, it can be heard from the tune and melody that it is a relatively cheerful song, and the title of the song "Happiness/Happiness" also shows this.

The two parts that may be the chorus part sound pretty good, at least the feeling of joy and joy is coming out.

But there are also many strange places.

The preview is only 27 seconds long, but it took nearly ten seconds to get a close-up of a red-haired parrot from the beginning of the title, which made Chi Jingyuan baffled.

After the music accompaniment started, a big multicolored mouth suddenly appeared, and Chi Jingyuan stared at it for another second.

He didn't understand what it meant, maybe it was a certain concept set by the company for red velvet?

And from the perspective of Chi Jingyuan's onlookers, the overall makeup of the several members shown in it is quite ordinary. The four people are too similar in terms of hairstyle and makeup. The only hair tail dyed is the same. Color is not the same.

At the end of the video, the four people stood together and posed together. Chi Jingyuan, who was so familiar with them, took a second or two to recognize who was who.

If you are not familiar with it for the first time, it is estimated that you can only distinguish it by the color of the hair tail.

He thinks this teaser video is not very good, but it’s just a teaser. It’s enough to attract attention and increase popularity. The specific situation depends on the initial stage and MV, after the sound source is officially announced.

After watching the video, he went to read the official comments of SM in the comments section of the two countries' accounts.

He just frowned slightly after not looking at it a few times.

a mess.
