"(smile)"

Starting each text message with an emoji is also a tacit understanding between Mingjing Nan and Chi Jingyuan.

After Chi Jingyuan sent a (smiling face) emoji, the two chatted casually.

After the encounter in the movie theater before, the relationship between the two people has become a lot closer. In fact, the two people who have the same hobbies actually have a lot of topics, especially after Najing Nan officially debuted, he has experienced various novels or embarrassments. , and even after a tiring and tiring journey, it brought her a lot of complex emotions such as stress, disappointment, excitement, etc., which made her desire to confide a lot more than before.

After rambling for a while, Chi Jingyuan saw that the girl seemed to have something on her mind and was a little embarrassed to say so, so she took the initiative to ask, "What's the problem?"

After waiting for a while, I received a somewhat belated reply from Mingjing Nan: "Well...have you watched our show recently?"

"No."

"...(blinks)." She was obviously choked: "We recorded a lot of variety shows after we debuted, but, after the broadcast, most of my shots were cut... In fact, sometimes I feel that my performance It’s pretty good, but it didn’t work. My manager and teacher criticized me last time, but it’s still the same when I’m recording the show today..."

"But I've really, really tried hard enough to do it."

"You...in the case of variety shows, is there anything I need to pay attention to sometimes?"

Chi Jingyuan looked at the phone and exhaled.

Judging from the several intermittent text messages sent in a row, the girl must have been hit.

Because some circumstances after her debut were not as good as she imagined before, she was not popular enough, not conspicuous enough in the team, and she did not get any positive feedback for her hard work. All kinds of negative movement speed made her accumulate a lot of pressure. It depends on the situation. There was even some self-doubt.

Ji Jingyuan has not specifically studied the popularity of Twice, but it is easy to see from the news and exposure that Zhou Ziyu is now a thriving player in the team. In addition, JYP is also promoting Lim Nayeon in addition to following the popularity of Twice. This local C position.

As for Mingjing Nan, he is somewhat inconspicuous in the team.

After this period of contact, he also knew a little about Mingjing Nan. He felt that although this girl had a gentle personality, she was actually quite confident in herself in her heart. It turned out that she was like this after her debut, and she might have received a lot of attention. hit.

Unfortunately, Chi Jingyuan is not good at this either.

"You ask me this... Well, actually when I was on variety shows, the MC didn't cue me, I usually seldom talk... And every time I would take the initiative to find a place far away from the MC or the camera, and sit quietly if nothing happened Get off work there."

Minami Nai, who was sitting on a chair waiting for makeup in the backstage of the TV station, looked at the reply on the phone, blinked and pursed her lips.

There is some brilliance in her eyes, because she actually has the same personality and habits, and she doesn't really like stealing the spotlight on the show, showing off, etc. It would be really nice if she could sit quietly by the side and wait for get off work every time.

But despite this, she still has a strong heart, and she doesn't want to be an idol to increase her popularity. Who can look at the other members of the group so dazzlingly, while she is unknown and still maintain a calm mood.

People who can have this state of mind are not very suitable to be idols.

She looked at the message again, tapped the screen to reply, "Actually, I like this too, it's just..."

"Then do it according to your own ideas... Although if the cue comes to me, I can do very well, but I'm not very good at variety shows. If there are members who like this, let them do it well. And I personally feel...don't tell others...I don't think variety shows will increase the popularity of idols very much, and trying to express too much will have some counterproductive effects."

"It's enough for idols to focus on the essence. The important thing is that you need to figure out what your strengths are."

Seeing the majesty in Mingjing Nan's heart, this soft girl seemed to be a little confused. Chi Jingyuan didn't comfort him, but just seriously passed on his own experience.

He doesn't know if it's good or not, but he thinks it suits him and Mingjing Nan's.

Because the two are really alike.

"Then what do you think are my strengths?" Minami bit her lip and asked expectantly.

After sending it, she held onto her phone and waited for a reply. Soon there was a vibration. She picked it up and saw that there were only a few words in the text message: "You can find a mirror and look at it yourself and you will know."

"Pfft..."

At first she bit her lip and held back, but after reading these words several times, she couldn't hold back a chuckle. A strange feeling surged from her heart, which made the frown she had been frowning just now also follow suit. Soothing, the bright black eyes looked a little more vivid.

"twice has just debuted and only released one album. The style of your group has not yet been determined, so there is no need to be so anxious because of the popularity issue. If it is a variety show, just follow your own heart. It is not good to force performance. , idols of our genre don’t need to work so hard in variety shows, sitting there quietly is already expressing... Finally, I gave mina xi a famous quote from a senior I admire the most, 'popularity has seasons ', look, how well said..."

"I have something to talk about next time. By the way, the kid did a good job, and "Call Me Baby" also danced very well."

Mingjing Nan looked at the long list of replies seriously, and his smile became brighter and clearer, until he saw the last sentence, when he rolled his eyes, his little white teeth showed.

Of course she knew what Chi Jingyuan was talking about. In their V LIVE live broadcast two days ago, they played kindergarten children, wearing children's clothing and beanie hats, and came to a cute live broadcast, followed by a random stage game. She danced EXO's "call me baby" with momo, and she happened to dance Yuan's part.

Unexpectedly, Chi Jingyuan also watched it.

Didn't you say you didn't watch our show...

Mingjing Nan blinked his eyes with a smile, and looked back at the few messages sent by Chi Jingyuan just now, looking at it and getting a little lost.

………………

"EXID who returned today, and an alternate VIXX need to record an interview,

"Then you and Irene will go to compare the script of this issue. It's still the same as before. You don't need to follow the above completely, with a few impromptu interactions interspersed in the middle."

After a few days of busy work, it came to the 20th, and it was the recording day of "Music Bank". As usual, as soon as the two MCs came in the morning, they first went to the conference room to have a meeting with the program group, got the script and learned about today's guests and process.

"Understood." Chi Jingyuan nodded, and took a stack of notebook materials from the PD, and Pei Zhuxuan next to him responded and stretched out his hand to do the same.

It's just that Chi Jingyuan glanced at his partner casually from the corner of his eye. After meeting KBS backstage, he felt that although this sister had a smile on her face today, she seemed to have something on her mind. She was clearly dressed It's a very festive bright red solid-color sweater, with a black collar around the neck, which is a bit sexy, but the whole person always looks unspirited.

Speaking of which, since he was absent from the concert in the last episode, he hasn't seen Pei Zhuxuan for half a month, except for sending and sending text messages from time to time.

This is the case with popular idols, especially at the end of the year, when the number of schedules increases sharply, even if they are artists from the same company, it is not easy to meet if they do not have joint activities.

After the morning meeting, the two MCs returned to the lounge. After carefully reviewing today's script and procedures, they entered the break time. The two of them did not communicate much. Pei Zhuxuan was called out by her manager, and Chi Jingyuan sat on the sofa in the lounge and began to study the LG V10 CF shooting plan received yesterday from the advertising company, which clearly marked the shooting process and plot of this CF.

After Chi Jingyuan and the others gave advice, and with JYP’s activities later on, the so-called audition was just a cutscene. Within two days, it was confirmed that his partner for the V10 mobile phone advertisement was Zhou Ziyu. The time is set for tomorrow morning.

About ten minutes later, Pei Zhuxuan, who had just left, opened the door again and came in. After looking at it, she walked over and sat on the same sofa as Chi Jingyuan as usual, but there was a slight distance of half a meter between them.

Although noisy sounds came from the backstage corridor outside the door from time to time, the lounge was a bit quiet, except for the occasional entrance of managers and staff, only the sound of pages turning.

She may also have noticed that Chi Jingyuan, who was reading the materials, was very serious, so she didn't speak, and took a stack of materials from somewhere to read.

It's just that I haven't turned a page for a long time, and the pair of eyes are either in a daze, or they just glance aside quietly, and they don't know what they are looking at.

There was a heavy walking sound next to it, which was a little loud. Chi Jingyuan raised his head and glanced at the last staff member who walked out of the lounge. Just as he was about to look down at the materials again, Pei Zhuxuan's voice suddenly came from the side: "I heard Hui Inoni said, because the filming of the TV series is about to join the group, so you, you may get off the car soon?"

"..." He turned his head and looked to the side. Although he was obviously talking to him, Pei Zhuxuan still kept looking down at the file.

Although the voice sounded quite calm and without any fluctuations, the young lady's abnormal state after meeting today, as well as her pretentious and calm actions at this time, directly betrayed herself.

Chi Jingyuan immediately understood. He took a glance and then looked away. Like the other party, he also lowered his head and continued to look at the information in his hand. He leaned on the back of the sofa, flipped the page with his right hand, and nodded slightly. : "Well, almost."

"..."

Quiet.

Before asking out loud, Pei Zhuxuan seemed to be holding a little tentative intention, but after getting the confirmation of the answer, she suddenly calmed down, pursed her lips and stopped talking.

The bright red sweater was bright and eye-catching, and it was very eye-catching on her body. It matched the black collar and leather skirt just right, but the lively clothes and her low air pressure at this moment seemed a bit out of place.

After hearing this news from her agent two days ago, she has been in a bad mood. Although she knows that getting off the car because of filming a TV series is actually quite normal, but such words can only comfort herself , but the mood is not getting better.

Since May, the weekly regular MC work of "Music Bank" has become her most important, favorite and most enjoyable itinerary. Every time she is recording, she is very relaxed and happy, and she even goes to other places. During the trip, when I think about the recording silver in two days, I will feel clear,

In the past two days, she had actually wanted to send a text message to ask Chi Jingyuan, but she hesitated again and again and still didn't ask. At this time, taking advantage of no one, she finally asked aloud after a long time of deliberation, but found that Chi Jingyuan seemed very relaxed. She didn't seem to take it too seriously, which made her a little irritable and uncomfortable all of a sudden.

"Oh, that's alright……"

After two minutes of silence, Pei Zhuxuan finally spoke out with some difficulty. The sound she spoke was a little heavy, she paused, and then she cleared her throat lightly before continuing.

"Indeed, if you have to take time out every week to film a TV series, it will be really tiring. You are already so busy."

"If you don't have enough rest time, it will really affect your state."

"You haven't filmed for a long time. I see that many of your fans are looking forward to it. You should really take it seriously. Your hair was cut for this drama..."

"It's just...our average ratings are just a little bit short...it's a pity."

She seemed to be encouraging Chi Jingyuan, and she also seemed to be encouraging herself. She didn't give Chi Jingyuan time to respond, and she was talking non-stop by herself.

"And...the company has recently picked up some itineraries for me. In fact, I'm actually quite busy..."

In the end, probably because of her self-esteem, she said something intermittently in a somewhat jerky voice, as if to comfort herself and to prove something.

Hearing this, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but put down the advertising materials in his hand, and turned his head to look over.

Miss sister, since when did you have the attribute of Suan Sui Nian?

And you don't think I'm a newcomer, do I know that although you are very popular in red velvet, you have no personal resources? I don't know if this fixed MC is already your most important itinerary?

It's just that after he turned around, Pei Zhuxuan was still looking down at the information, trying to maintain his self-esteem. The stiffness of her body could be felt just by looking at it, which made Chi Jingyuan's teasing mood go down immediately. few.

He sighed secretly in his heart, and interrupted the other party aloud: "Not for now."

"ah……"

Hearing this, Pei Zhuxuan, who was about to say something, froze for a moment, let out a surprised exclamation, and at the same time raised her head reflexively and looked over.

Chi Jingyuan exchanged glances with her, lowered his head again, flipped up a page of information and swayed casually: "Originally, the company said that they got off the car as soon as they joined the team, probably in early December, but... and just entered There is still enough time for the group, so I postponed it for a few days, and waited until the TV series was officially broadcast, filming and broadcasting, and the filming task resumed before downloading."

"..."

After listening with her lips pursed, Pei Zhuxuan blinked her eyes and looked at Chi Jingyuan for a while, then she calmed down again. She sat there quietly, no longer talking to herself as before, but she seemed a little lost in thought.

It's just that she didn't know when it started, her legs that were originally side by side changed positions, and then swayed slightly, and at the same time, the low air pressure that had been surrounding the two of them just now clearly dissipated gradually.

As for Chi Jingyuan, he glanced at the young lady who was silent, and then continued to look through the documents in his hand.

After a while, there was some small movement next to him, and then he felt an elbow poke him lightly. When he looked up, he saw Pei Zhuxuan's tentative expression and sparkling eyes. She was holding an earphone Handed it over, and asked in a soft voice: "Do you want to listen to the song?"

Chi Jingyuan noticed that the document she had been reading for a long time just now had disappeared, and it had been thrown somewhere.

"Why have you changed so much? You've been showing your face since the morning..."

Chi Jingyuan tilted his head, looked at Pei Zhuxuan's sparkling eyes that had become energetic, and laughed dumbfoundedly.

Sit up and take the earphones, and look into the other person's eyes at the same time: "And it's been postponed for a month or two, and it's like recording an extra six or seven episodes, it's not like I won't get out of the car, why is my mood suddenly so good ?”

"Ah……"

Pei Zhuxuan, who was low and at a loss just now, has disappeared, and the young lady who has become clearer just chuckled, gave him a pretty white look, and without explaining, directly operated the mobile phone and started singing.

In fact, she knew very well that they would get off the car sooner or later, but she always felt that they were still far away from her. When she suddenly received the news, she felt that it was too sudden and she was very unwilling.

Especially Chi Jingyuan's attitude just now seemed a little perfunctory and casual, which made Pei Zhuxuan, who had a tacit understanding that Chi Jingyuan didn't want to get off the car, feel as if he had been poured with cold water, making him feel uncomfortable.

She found that what she cared most about was not getting out of the car, but the attitude of the other party.

And after knowing that Chi Jingyuan took the initiative to communicate with the company and postponed the time to get off the bus, the irritability of being stuck just now was instantly swept away.

Especially the young lady understood the meaning of what Chi Jingyuan didn't say after the "but" just now.

But... but what?

As if being blown by the refreshing night wind, she suddenly became much more relaxed.

Although it was a pity, whether or not to get out of the car suddenly became not so important.

And there's still a month or two left anyway...

The music started, a very familiar song, Chi Jingyuan knew it was EXO's "First Snow" after listening to the prelude

"It's been a year in the blink of an eye."

"My heart is still full of nostalgia."

The low-pressure atmosphere just now disappeared. Two people sat on the sofa, one re-read the advertising materials, and the other fiddled with the mobile phone in his hand. A headphone cable in the middle was gently shaking, connecting two people who listened quietly. Singing men and women.

...

About half an hour later, after listening to "4 wall", Chi Jingyuan took off his earphones and stood up, and started today's work with Pei Zhuxuan.

It’s a pity to say that, originally he thought that today’s issue of “Music Bank” could see FX, but it turned out that after FX returned with the regular fourth album on the 27th of last month, it ended only half a month later. The activities of the album, and then the five members started their respective schedules.

The activity time is too short, and there is not much related publicity. Chi Jingyuan also knows that the preparation of this album has encountered many difficulties, because of the lack of resources and support from the company, the MV for the title song seems to be found by FX. To help with the filming, he actually made a special phone call to help out a little.

SM is really not enough to pay attention to.

But I can understand a little bit, among the five members of fx, the three most popular ones are doing more and more activities in the mainland. Although they didn’t run directly like EXO’s Xia Guo line, on the contrary, victoria has a very good attitude towards the group. He is also very caring, but because of the lessons learned from the past, of course SM can't rest assured, and the resources will naturally not be given out.

The other two, one Cui Xueli wanted to be an actress and waited to leave the group, and the other Zheng Xiujing pro-Oni had a violent conflict with the company, which led to a bad situation in the company. If it wasn't for the contract restrictions, she would have left long ago.

Under such circumstances, it is true that FX can return because of its good performance in the past, and there are also a group of diehard fans of its own. If it is replaced by other combinations, it may be hidden directly.

FX's title song "4 walls" this time really suits Chi Jingyuan's appetite. Although the MV is a bit cheap, the song is really good and sounds very comfortable.

It's a pity.
