Peninsula Asteroid

Hirai Momo came out of the bathroom, lowered her head and gently shook the bangs that were slightly soaked when she washed her hands just now. When she walked outside, she raised her head and saw Nai Nanzheng who was waiting for her standing by the wall without leaning against her. On the wall, looking at the end of the corridor with pursed eyes.

She took advantage of the situation and looked over there, but there was no one.

"What's wrong?"

Momo Hirai felt a little strange, so she took the initiative to say something.

The sudden voice didn't scare Mingjing Nan. She seemed to feel that her friend had come out just now. She retracted her gaze, got her hands out of her sleeves, then gently rolled the sleeves to her wrists, and took a last look at the pool view Yuan turned his head after leaving the direction, shook his head, stroked his hair and grinned, revealing a trace of pink gum:

"nothing."

...

In the evening, I chose a relatively high-end Korean restaurant near the Olympic Park. I heard from Park Zhenying that the vegetables used in this restaurant are all organic farmers. According to him, they are more nutritious than ordinary vegetables and taste better. He came here before After a few times, I felt very good, and took advantage of the opportunity to talk to Chi Jingyuan about organic farming.

Chi Jingyuan agreed with a smile on his face, tasted it with a chopstick and nodded specifically to express that the taste was good, but he was a little helpless in his heart and didn't take it to heart at all.

Afterwards, while eating, he also talked about the business, which was not much different from what Chi Jingyuan had expected before. Park Zhenying approached him about the talent show "sixteen", but what surprised him was that it was not an ordinary guest, but It is to invite him to be one of the judges to comment on the stage of the trainees, and at the same time to group and eliminate them according to their choices.

This is quite interesting.

Chi Jingyuan debuted for three years, and participated in many variety shows, large and small, but because of his qualifications and age, it was the first time he was invited to be a judge for such a professional role.

What Park Zhenying said was exaggerated, and Chi Jingyuan didn't take the nonsense like "you can decide whether they have a chance to debut, your opinion has very important reference value" or not.

No company will hand over the right to select their own artist's debut to outsiders.

But to be honest, he is really interested in being a judge, especially Zhou Ziyu's judge.

I don't know what Zhou Ziyu's expression was when he saw himself on the stage.

As if thinking of that frozen face, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help flashing a narrow smile in his eyes.

Park Zhenying's intention and purpose in inviting him, Chi Kyung-won, also saw a thing or two, that is, because EXO and himself are relatively popular, it is estimated that he wants to use his popularity and discussion to increase the ratings.

It's nothing, it's a normal business cooperation, no different from the variety show invitations I send to SM every day about EXO and myself.

After the successful return of "E" this time, EXO's popularity is now here. Almost any variety show they appear on can play a certain role in promoting the ratings, so they have become the favorites of many TV program groups nowadays. There are constant invitations, recently Park Chanyeol, Do Kyungsoo, Baekhyun and others have also received personal variety show schedules.

The difference is nothing more than that the program "sixteen" is not hosted by a TV station, it is produced jointly by JYP and mnet.

But for Chi Jingyuan, there is no difference, because any variety show invites him to participate because of his popularity and popularity. It is the norm in the circle to praise the high and depress the low, and Park Zhenying is also sincere.

After thinking about it for a while, Ji Jingyuan didn't agree on the spot, but said that he still respected the company's arrangement and asked JYP to contact SM. He didn't care about the company's communication about the performance fee and shooting time, but he hinted at himself. You can try talking to your agent.

Park Zhenying's attitude is more enthusiastic, and the goal can be considered to be achieved. He knows that Chi Jingyuan's personality will definitely not just boast about guarantees. It can be said that it is basically confirmed.

Under the harmonious atmosphere, Park Zhenying also specially introduced the program "sixteen" and the approximate shooting time. According to him, the solo PK battle that Chi Jingyuan participated in will not be filmed until around late April. It's still quite far.

After eating, Chi Kyung Won declined Park Jin Young's enthusiasm to send him back, got in the nanny car driven by Park Jae Hyun who had been waiting nearby, and rushed back to the company, and joined the members for the final preparations before the comeback of "X".

It's been the last two days, and although I've already practiced almost, but temporarily hugging the Buddha's feet must be effective.

On the other hand, I have to say that MissA's comeback this time is really quite impressive, and the sound source performance is completely unexpected, and it can't even be said to be good, it should be considered a hit.

When they released their full album sound source on the 30th, their title song hit No. 1 on the chart, breaking the chart six times in a row. After a day of preparation, on the last day of March, on the afternoon of the 31st, their title song "only you" achieved 'All kill'.

Not to mention that, "only you" reached the amazing achievement of "Perfect All Kill" in all music charts at night.

‘Perfect All Kill’ is referred to as ‘PAK’ for short by fans in the music industry. It is a higher level than the ordinary ‘All Kill’, and it is one of the most desirable achievements in the Kpop circle in terms of sound source performance.

Specifically, it refers to the real-time charts, daily charts, and even weekly charts of major mainstream music sites including Melon, Genie, and Bugs.

It’s okay to say that the first two are not everyone can get the first place in the weekly list, but it is even more difficult to get the three at the same time. Every song that is achieved represents extremely high popularity and listening.

The achievement of 'PAK' is really not easy. EXO has never achieved this achievement since its debut, and MissA is also the first idol group to complete 'PAK' since 2014.

Not only is the sound source extremely high, but the number of listens and related comments are also very good. At first glance, there are various praises. It has been less than two days since the song was released, and I feel that the momentum is about to rise.

And as their comeback period completely coincides, EXO fans who even had their first stage on the same day have some concerns at this time, especially some newly-introduced Allies who saw the annoying girl Bae Suzy at the moment. , EXO's biggest competitor in "X" this time, MissA's sound source performance is so good, I can't help but start to feel nervous.

I can't help worrying, this time the Obamas are still focusing on lyricism, what if they can't win?

But there are also some old fans who don’t care about it, and while the old gods are there to comfort the new fans, they are eagerly waiting for the release of the sound source of EXO’s single album "X" and the MV tonight.

Because the old fans who have been in the circle for a long time know the problem of the MissA group. They won the song of the year award in the debut year of the newcomers, and the sound source results of each comeback in these years are very good. However, the situation But still a little embarrassed, still unable to go further, the reason why they can't make too much money is because they have huge shortcomings.

It is sales.

It's the same this time, under the cover of the explosive sound source data of "only you", the sales volume of the albums so far is less than 6,000 copies. It seems too shabby, not to mention being compared with Girls' Generation, which has a large sales volume, even the ordinary first- and second-tier girl groups, such as Apink, sistar, girlsday, etc., are not comparable, and they are still far behind.

Even this sales volume has been eliminated by red velvet, who has been out of the circle for less than a year. He just got out of the predicament of being "disbanded" cursed every day by virtue of his comeback.

It's really all free whoring and passers-by listening to music fans, and there are too few diehard fans who are willing to pay real money.

But for a group that makes a lot of money, selling merchandise and touring needs the support of die-hard fans who can afford it. This has also led to the dilemma that MissA has never made money no matter how good the music source is since its debut.

Speaking of it, there are obviously many hit songs, the sound source is also very good, and the popularity is not low. At the same time, there is Pei Xiuzhi, who is extremely popular and popular in the group, but when the group returns, no one is willing to pay the bill. This phenomenon really makes people feel It's quite strange, I guess JYP can't figure it out.

With such polarized performance, it is difficult to define whether MissA's comeback performance is good or bad.

It should be considered good...

While caring about them, other fans and a large number of passers-by also turned their attention away from MissA, and shifted their attention to EXO, which is about to make a comeback with its second single album "X" early this morning.

Because of the inertia of attention brought about by the popularity of "E", coupled with the many "lyrical title songs" that have been discussed in major music forums these days, and the gimmicks such as colliding with the imposing MissA, passers-by The expectations and concerns for "X" have reached a peak.

Whether EXO will continue the popularity of "call me baby" or even take it to a higher level, or because of arrogance and cerebral palsy, choose lyrical as the main theme and directly flop at the speed of light, it depends on this time.

...

"Hey, what did you say Chi Jingyuan came to do yesterday?"

In the dormitory of the 'major group', after the filming ended, several trainees who had just got together were sitting on the sofa in the living room after taking a shower, chatting with each other, while talking, Lin Nayeon suddenly thought Woke up to yesterday's chance encounter, and became interested in the blink of an eye, and spoke quickly to Sun Caiying next to him.

The variety show "sixteen" has officially started recording. During the filming a few days ago, the groups have been divided. The major group, that is, the seven people in the professional group, and the minor group, that is, the nine people in the poor student group have been assigned to their respective dormitories. In the middle and already living in it, I have devoted myself to it for the debut these few days, except for shooting and practicing, and meeting Ji Jingyuan in the showcase venue yesterday is the most interesting thing that Lin Nayeon and the others have encountered recently up.

"I don't know, I should watch the showcases of MissA's seniors." Sun Caiying peeled an orange from the refrigerator in her hand, fed one into her mouth, blinked her big eyes and guessed.

Among the four people who went to record yesterday, she was the fourth person that Chi Jingyuan had no impression of.

"Probably not, Park Zhenying PD nim obviously went to wait for him specially, it feels like he wants to talk about something."

Lin Nayen stroked her chin and analyzed it. After thinking for a few seconds, it was not important anyway and gave up. She was too lazy to delve into it. At this moment, the image of Chi Jingyuan looking at each other after taking off the mask seemed to appear in front of her eyes. Rolling up his pupils, he smacked his lips and said thoughtfully, "Hey Yigu, Top idols are really different. I've seen Chi Jingyuan a few times, and every time I get a handsome face... Dingyan would definitely be envious if she knew."

"Who, Chi Kyung-won? Yuan from EXO? Did you meet him during the recording yesterday?" Song Minying, who was sitting next to him, was eating an orange, and became interested when he heard it, and looked at Lin Nayeon in surprise.

Park Chiwon next to him also asked, "Dingyan O'Neil? Does she know Yuan?"

Mingjing Nan was sitting on the edge of the sofa hugging a pillow. She was in a daze and turned her attention after hearing Chi Jingyuan's name, but her expression and movements didn't change, she was still sitting quietly. That looked down at the lines on the pillow and said nothing.

The time she has been in the company is still too short, and the identity of a foreign trainee and her inexperienced language are not very easy for her to get along well with the locals and those senior trainees, and those who are crooked or between girls Contradictions between right and wrong are not non-existent, so Najing Minami's circle of friends so far is still very small, limited to a few people on the neon line, it can be said that he is not familiar with other female trainees, and he rarely communicates with each other.

It's a pity that Minazaki Saka was assigned to the 'poor student group', and Hirai Momo, who was assigned to a group with her, was taking a bath at the moment, and when the two friends were not around, Nai Minami's personality was so different Usually, they would just be in a daze or listen in silently, and basically would not speak actively.

On the side, Kim Da Hyun sat there quietly and listened, but she also seemed interested.

"Dingyan and Yuan? They know each other. O'Neill and Chi Jingyuan were friends before, so she usually likes XO."

Lin Nayeon, as the eldest sister and the most valued trainee in the company, is naturally the center of attention. She explained with a somewhat joyful expression: "During the time when Yuan and Senior Suzy were working together, Yuan often came to the company. We met several times. , I feel that their personalities are actually pretty good, and they will work hard when they see us, Min Young, do you still remember that we went backstage to see them at 6MIX.”

"Remember, he also said that you were a facade."

"Really? Hey, hehehe..." Lin Nayen couldn't help being happy when she mentioned this, her pair of rabbit teeth were very conspicuous with a grin.

"By the way, isn't XO coming back again, and the sound source and MV will be announced at midnight soon, do you want to watch it?"

"It's okay anyway, let's see."

"I remember that their title song this time seems to be a ballad. I'm looking forward to it."

"Well, but I prefer dance music."

…………

Jin Zhicheng opened the webpage and saw the MV video of "spring day" uploaded on SM's official account. He clicked twice but there was no response.

As an ordinary office worker, the 26-year-old Jin Zhicheng usually has no interest in boy groups. Even if he becomes enthusiastic, he will only briefly chase after some of the more popular girl groups.

It’s just that last month EXO’s name was frequently listed in hot searches on many entertainment sections of the peninsula, and some music sources and Kpop forums were all discussing their posts. Because of the popularity of "call me baby", the previous vitality was revived. Ai Li, who has become ubiquitous, is annoyed by her own idol in various places, so Jin Zhicheng has no choice but to know.

This made him dislike EXO even more, who didn't have a good impression of the boy group, but he couldn't help but start paying attention to them occasionally.

I got off work early today, and I have been surfing the Internet after eating. He just saw on the Internet that there are idiot fans of EXO who are desperately promoting that they have released the MV of the second single album "X" at midnight. And the sound source, the MV of the title song "Spring Day" is superbly shot, it is particularly touching, and it makes people sick like rainbow farts.

After Jin Zhicheng saw it, he naturally sneered a few times in disdain, but right now he just happened to be bored and had nothing to do, so he simply clicked in to take a look.

Two days ago, he also saw the debate about the title song of EXO's comeback this time being a lyric song. Although he didn't participate, he actually likes lyrical songs.

It's just that from the bottom of his heart, he doesn't like boy groups singing lyrical songs. Even though EXO has released many lyrical songs before, there is no change. This prejudice is a little bit rooted and it is difficult to change.

After waiting for a few seconds, the page was finally refreshed. Jin Zhicheng's gaze stayed for two seconds at the place where the lyrics and composition were displayed in the song introduction. When he saw that the upper and lower names were all the same person, he obviously paused and blinked. After that, I clicked on the play to watch it carefully.

As the progress is read, the MV of "Spring Day" officially begins to play.

"suicide?"

It was just the first scene at the beginning that made him jump. He saw Baekhyun kneeling on the snow-covered railway tracks, his head stuck to the snow and motionless, which made people worry that there would be a speeding car passing by in the next second. The train crushed him. Jin Zhicheng, who saw it, was deeply taken aback and thought that the other party meant to commit suicide by lying on the rails.

However, after the scene was switched quickly, and the accompaniment gradually sounded from distant to deep and passionate, and the sound became louder and louder, he let go of the absurd feeling in his heart and began to feel it carefully.

Needless to say, this prelude is really nice.

"I miss you."

"After saying it, I miss you even more."

"Looking at your photos, it's hard to understand the pain of lovesickness."

"Time is too ruthless and hates us."

"Now even meeting once has become a luxury."

Chi Jingyuan, who was wearing a striped turtleneck sweater with fine and flowing black hair with some textures, sat by the train window silently watching the picture appear outside the window, and the lyrics were also introduced by him, and then slowly Sing out slowly.

Accompanied by the somewhat rhythmic, but obviously lost and sad vocals and lyrics, as well as the various explicit and camera displays in the MV screen, Jin Zhicheng quickly and vaguely understood the things and emotions that the MV of this song wanted to express.

In the beginning, what is the boy waiting for alone at the empty Xuexiang station?

The roaring train was advancing on the endless rails, but the only passenger on it, the person sitting by the window, was silent and just looked outside quietly.

Was he worried that the person he was waiting for was already arriving on the Snowpiercer? Will the lonely him usher in the final reunion?

Nobody knows.

The transformed images and not-so-bright colors were reflected in Jin Zhicheng's pupils, brewing some complex emotions.

Is this missing a friend, or is it telling us about that period of youth?

"Hold your hand and go to the other side of the world."

"I hope winter will end soon."

"Thinking is like snow, how long will it take to fall?"

"Will spring come?"

"Friend."

With the unfolding of the main song, various screens and shots are constantly switching, and members of EXO appear in sight one by one,

The boy put on his birthday hat, and sat forward on the train representing youth and adulthood. There seemed to be a beautiful birthday celebration scene when friends gathered in his eyes, but the frowning of his brows proved that he was just an illusion, full of confusion and helplessness.

The endless upward stairs seem to never end, and life seems to be the same. Many people slowly go away without knowing it, and they can't see it.

And when singing "Hope the end of winter", the two people in the MV screen are struggling to pass each other, as if it is a hint of fate and a playful arrangement.

"Snowflakes are falling, and they are going away little by little."

"I miss you."

"I miss you."

"I miss you."

"How long will I have to wait, and how many nights will I have to live through?"

"How can I meet you?"

"How can I meet you?"

The chorus part uses continuously repeated lyrics to continuously aggravate longing and depression. Even if the accompaniment with keyboard and bass makes the tone of the melody a bit high and surging, it does not affect the overall sad feeling. The atmosphere, on the contrary, increases the feeling of this part in the jumping screen.

It is obviously some passionate music and singing, but why does it make people feel sad when it stops in the ear?

"After all, you have changed."

"Or have I changed?"

"I hate this moment, I hate the passage of time."

"We've changed, but everyone has."

The rap that rhymes but has its own strength is constantly displayed in the dynamic accompaniment. During the rap stage, the voices of Ji Jingyuan and Park Chanyeol appeared one after another. There seemed to be a hint of complaint in the emotional voice. The fast and sharp rap Cooperating with the light that seems to be getting darker and darker in the MV, the more and more confused atmosphere makes people sink into it, getting deeper and deeper.

After a long series of rap stages ended, the last chorus was soon entered, and at this time, the picture and tone in the MV began to change unknowingly.

A young man named Chi Jingyuan constantly crosses different places and time and space in the camera. The very romantic camera cuts look a little beautiful, but there is something sad inside that shows that he can no longer tell whether he is living in the world or not. The truth is still in the false.

It wasn't until the last moment that he saw his friends who appeared beside him. They looked at each other, mustered up their courage, and ran forward.

Just the next second, Chi Jingyuan, who was sitting by the window in the train and staring at him, suddenly woke up, and a super close-up close-up of his face appeared. At this moment, everything returned to reality. It turned out that everything was just his reminiscence and reverie. , those beautiful innocences don't seem to exist, and he is still only one person.

"You know it all."

“You are my best friend.”

But his expression is not sad, or truth and falsehood are not important anymore, because he seems to have really seen the long-lost friend, and Fanghua who was left behind by time.

The train of youth and growth is moving forward in the endless ice and snow. The seemingly endless slowness makes people desperate, but as long as you believe and persist, the next stop may be the sunshine of spring!

In the picture, Chi Jingyuan on the train opened his eyes again, his eyes slowly swept across the front, the camera zoomed out, and the other eight members of EXO appeared in the camera one by one, they were wearing various clothes, some They were silent, some were taking a nap with their eyes closed, and some were looking out the window with the curtains drawn.

Even though no one spoke, the moment they appeared, the color of the whole picture seemed to brighten, and the coldness of the snowy day seemed to be inadvertently dispelled.

The previously empty and deserted carriage now looked extraordinarily warm and peaceful, making people reluctant to leave.

It turns out that the train of youth never stops, let alone waits for anyone, but the experience does not seem to make people too sad.

Because of the stumbles, when you look back, you are always there.

"Morning always comes."

"The cherry blossoms are about to bloom."

"Winter is about to go away."

When the train stopped, the nine members of EXO rushed out of the car quickly, and the specially shot reshoots were perfectly presented in front of everyone after editing and rendering.

After a long night, the warm and soft sunshine finally ushered in after the heavy snow. In the endless wilderness, nine people walked slowly in it, step by step towards the direction of the sun shining in front of them.

"wu~wooo~~"

"Wu~wooo~~

At this moment, the shocking and moving group harmony sounded at this moment, and every sound seemed to hit the trembling heart that had already started, bringing a deep and meaningful resonance.

The lens also climbed up little by little, and after being pulled up, it changed to an aerial perspective. The figures of the nine boys in the picture became smaller and smaller, just watching them step by step after the robbery. Walking towards the warm spring day, the warmth in front of me looks so beautiful when bathed in the body. All the sadness, loneliness, sadness and confusion before suddenly penetrated at this moment, and the complicated emotions that have been brewing in my heart are also unknowingly Feeling sublimated and brilliant.

At this moment, no matter whether it is sad or beautiful, you don't have to care about it anymore.

Only with you, just with you, until the moment when spring comes.

And that seems to mirror the last verse:

"Wait until the end of the twelfth lunar month of winter."

"Wait until the spring is in full bloom."

"Wait until the flowers bloom."

"Just wait there for me."

"Wait for me there."
