Peninsula Asteroid

"Acquaintance? Who is Oppa?"

Lin Nayeon is really a very good compliment player. She was the first to jump out at Kim Sangmin's trick. Her mouth was slightly opened with curiosity on her face. Several other people also looked over and asked in agreement.

"I said we are acquaintances... How many acquaintances do you have in SM?"

Jin Sangmin laughed at the children's questions, glanced at Hirai Momo without leaving any trace, and then pursed his lips towards the others: "It's Jingyuan xi, not EXO, it's Jingyuan xi alone. This time his The subway song needs a partner, so SM sent an invitation to the company and invited a member of Twice to collaborate..."

"Senior Yuan?"

"Jingyuan Oppa?"

Hearing this familiar name, several Twice members around him couldn't help but exclaimed. People like Kim Dahyun and Yu Jeongyeon looked surprised... At the same time, after knowing that the partner was Ji Kyungwon, many people's eyes were filled with surprise. There was a layer of enthusiasm, and they were obviously very interested in this cooperation.

Lin Nalian, who was sitting closest, hesitated for a moment after hearing the words. Her original enthusiasm suddenly cooled down, but she still had strong hope that could not be suppressed for some reason. With some luck, she looked at the agent and asked babously: "Jing Yuan ...Who did Oppa invite..."

"yes……"

Jin Sangmin looked around for a week and looked at the children's bright expectant eyes. He didn't show any concern and looked directly at Yu Jeongyeon who was sitting aside: "It's Jeongyeon. SM invited Jeongyeon."

As soon as the results came out, several eyes suddenly dimmed with some disappointment.

There was no time to take care of the disappointed others. Jin Sangmin looked at Yu Dingyan. Seeing the girl's unbelievable surprise in her eyes, he began to introduce: "The reason for this cooperation is that Jingyuan Xi was selected by Mercedes-Benz. The spokesperson, at the request of the brand, needed to release an advertising song, and it happened to be his turn for SM's subway project, so the two projects were combined into one and became the same song."

"It's a dance song. It's not just you, but also XO's Sehun and red velvet's Seulgi. There are four people in total."

"The name of the collaboration song is "really really". It is a song written and composed by Jingyuanxi himself. He is also the producer this time. The company has listened to the DEMO sound source sent by SM, and several musicians are very optimistic about this song. Song, I feel it has the potential to become a big hit..."

Kim Sang-myung smiled at Yoo Jeong-yeon who was looking at him: "Especially PD Park Jin-young liked it. His comment was, 'It's such a waste to be a commercial song or a song for a subway project. If I didn't know that Jingyuan Xi would not agree, He even wants to buy it directly and use it as the title song for GOT...'

At this point, his tone became more serious: "This opportunity is quite rare. It is likely to increase your popularity a lot. You have to work hard, Dingyan."

"I will try my best, Oppa."

Yu Dingyan nodded vigorously, with a strong gleam in his eyes, and his whole person looked full of vitality.

Twcie has been debuting for almost a year now. After two comebacks and countless schedules, the popularity queues in the group have almost been separated, and the gap in the popularity of the members has become more and more obvious.

At present, Zhou Ziyu is the only one who stands out, and his popularity has been somewhat stagnant. The next top echelons are Lin Nayuan, Minatozaki Sasha and a few others.

What is regrettable is that except for Lin Nayeon, the popularity of several local members in the team is almost all in the lower circles, such as Kim Dahyun, Park Jihyo... and Yu Jeongyeon is also one of them, whether it is the number of fans or each other. This kind of data is far behind those popular members.

Although the atmosphere in Twice's team is usually good, and minor conflicts are common, there are basically no major conflicts due to such things... But many things are actually buried in my heart. After all, I came to be a trainee and debut. Being an idol, who is not a very good kid, and who doesn’t want to be more popular and be liked by more people.

But if there is no other exposure and luck, it is difficult to improve this popularity gap with a step-by-step comeback. A 'shyshyshy' explosion like Minatozaki Saka's is completely rare, and no matter how hard you try, you will have little effect... …After all, other people work hard too, and hard work is the least valuable thing in the industry.

And JYP rarely gives Twice personal resources. It has been almost a year since their debut and they have almost no solo resources and schedules. There are no channels to increase their popularity. Yoo Jung-yeon has no choice but to let nature take its course... I didn't expect this. I actually received a cooperation invitation from SM for the first time, which was really unexpected and very exciting.

This is Chi Jingyuan...

The girls next to him also glanced at the rosy Yu Jeongyeon with envy, their eyes clearly full of envy, as if Kim Dahyun and others lowered their heads slightly and pursed their lips, trying to hide the color in their eyes.

Zhou Ziyu said nothing at the side, looking at this, looking at that, a look of wonder flashed in his eyes under the cover of dullness... Chi Jingyuan had told her about this cooperation before, although her popularity in the team The guilt is already high enough.

But Shan Dan was also a little disappointed. It had nothing to do with her popularity. She just wanted to work with Chi Jingyuan...

Mingjing Nan, who also knew about this beforehand, was also silent. Chi Jingyuan also told her about this matter when she was in Qiuxi.

Of course she also wanted to collaborate on a song with Chi Jingyuan... But Chi Jingyuan said at the time that he planned to collaborate with her on another song in the future. It would be a bit too obvious to collaborate multiple times.

What will the other song be? Thinking of this, Mingjing Nan suddenly had some divergent thoughts and started to look forward to it.

"By the way, Dingyan, did you know about this beforehand?"

After introducing the cooperation, Jin Sangmin seemed to remember something and asked again the question he had just asked Hirai Momo.

"Arnie, I just learned the news."

Yu Dingyan shook his head quickly. Chi Jingyuan had never mentioned it to her before.

"That's strange. SM directly invited you by name..."

After muttering to himself, Jin Sangmin explained again: "This collaborative song is a dance song, which requires a lot of dance practice. SM has informed us in advance that Jingyuan Xi's schedule has been very busy recently, so we have to do it." Depending on his time, you may often need to practice at night..."

"The group is still preparing for the third mini-album... so Jeongyeon may be very tired during this period, so you have to be mentally prepared."

"Don't worry Oppa, I will try my best."

Just like before, Yu Dingyan just nodded, with a firm tone and seemed not worried at all.

For an idol, especially a member like her who is not very popular in the group, it would be better to be a little tired.

"I also want to remind you that although Jingyuanxi..."

Thinking of something again, Jin Sangmin opened his mouth and prepared to say something just like he reminded Tao Hirai. But halfway through, his expression changed and he interrupted, shaking his head: "Forget it, you can decide it yourself."

"Oppa..."

Of course, Yu Dingyan heard what the manager meant, and complained a little embarrassedly: "Jingyuan Oppa is a close brother, not what you think."

"That would be best..."

Jin Shangmin nodded, glanced at Hirai Momo again, and pointed at Sang and scolded Huaijian, which was a very obvious warning.

"If you have such a network, keep it up... Follow me to the music room later to listen to the demo of this collaboration, and then go to SM tomorrow afternoon to officially start this collaboration project."

After giving the final explanation, Jin Sangmin packed up his things and left, and the brief meeting came to an end.

The agent left, but the Twice group in the conference room did not get up and leave directly. Instead, they remained silent for a while, hiding their eyes. They looked at each other for a few seconds, exchanged glances, and then stood up and resumed their previous behavior. lively and calm.

"Congratulations!"

Lin Nalian patted Yu Dingyan's shoulder and smiled, wishing her good sister to receive such resources. But just after she finished speaking, she didn't know what she was thinking of. She pursed her lips and muttered in a low voice: "But I don't think so. That’s too… maybe it’s another mediocre song like “Dancing King”…”

As soon as she finished speaking, she immediately realized that what she said was not very appropriate, and immediately apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm not..."

"Aren't the results of "Dancing King" not good enough?"

Before she could finish speaking, Park Jihyo, who was not far away, heard her words and couldn't help but turn around and asked in surprise: "This sound source and popularity have exploded. It has attracted countless fans who did not pay attention to the boy band before. It is even more than XO's official return." Not bad..."

"..."

Being rebutted in person, Lin Nalian didn't know how to defend herself. She opened and closed her mouth without knowing what to say. After going back and forth several times, she could only flatten her lips in frustration and her cheeks bulged.

"Ha ha……"

Seeing the awkward look on his good sister's face, Yu Dingyan was not angry at all for what she just said. Instead, he laughed, warmly held Lin Nalian's head, and whispered in her ear: "Wait for me to practice. Check the situation several times and come back to tell you the process..."

"...Why are you talking to me?"

Lin Nalian pursed her red lips a few times, and her eyes were obviously moved. She shook her head, but she couldn't escape Yu Dingyan's arms. She could only hold her neck and retort stubbornly:

"I don't want to know."

…………

"Seulqi, your cooperation with Jingyuanxi has been confirmed..."

Earlier in the Twice meeting, Red Velvet also learned about the news. In the middle of the schedule, the manager of SBS's program team officially informed Seulgi in front of all members.

"I know Unnie!"

Jiang Seulqi held back the excitement in her heart, glanced at the members next to her, and nodded pretending to be calm.

Chi Jingyuan mentioned it to her once when they were in Hawaii before this cooperation, but he only talked about it in general terms and specifically added that it had not been finalized.

The speaker didn't mean it, but the listener had it in mind. Jiang Seqi remembered it after that day, and she always felt a little uneasy in her heart...

The popularity of red velvet is also very different. Bae Zhuhyun is completely disconnected. In front of her, other members are back, while Kang Seulgi's popularity among back is also relatively low.

In addition, she is often attacked by anti-fans for being ugly and ugly... She really hopes to cooperate this time. For her, this is a very precious opportunity to show herself.

But even though they are close relatives of the same age, Jiang Seulqi, who has a high emotional intelligence, knows very well that this kind of serious business at work is not suitable for using friendship and feelings as bargaining chips. Even if it is really because of a good relationship, it has to be Ji. Jingyuan should just think this way.

So she didn't tell Chi Jingyuan specifically, she was just waiting for the news...

She did not deny what she was thinking. Of course she wanted to cooperate with Chi Jingyuan. Let alone her, who in the company didn't want to? The first sister BOA on the surface, Kim Taeyeon the real first sister, and even the other members of the group Among the members, except for Bae Zhuhyun who separated due to relationship issues, none of these people would want to collaborate on a song with Ji Kyungwon.

Even Joohyun Unnie might have hope in her heart...

After the manager finished speaking, he left the lounge. The five girls became a little quieter and began to do their own things without saying much.

"Onie..."

At the edge of the lounge, Sun Shengwan looked at the beautiful captain next to him, hugged her arm, lowered his head and complained softly in Pei Zhuhyun's ear: "Did you hear what manager Ernie said just now... Jing Yuan, Sehun, and Seulgi are obviously relatives of ours at 94line, and several other people were brought along, but it turned out that Jingyuan would rather find an idol from another company to work with him than me."

"It must be Jingyuan who saw that I ignored him last time because of... and he got angry. This time he excluded me and isolated me..."

Sun Shengwan's voice was a little complaining and a little sad. He looked sticky, and he seemed to have lost his previous vitality at this time.

It was nothing at first, but after knowing several of Chi Jingyuan's collaborators for this subway song, her mentality became a bit unbalanced... The other three people from 94line with whom she has the best relationship all participated in the collaboration, but she was excluded. .

"……No la."

Pei Zhuxuan looked at the sister of the group beside her who was thinking casually and was obviously a little hurt. She pursed her lips and smiled, and took the initiative to reach out and brush back the ends of her scattered hair.

Then he recalled it for a few seconds, leaned over and whispered softly: "This cooperation happened a long time ago, before he and I... were separated. He told me about it in private, and he had it in his heart at that time. We already had a candidate, and at that time I was thinking of choosing Seulgi, because Seulgi is more in line with the style of this song, and he also considered you, but..."

As he spoke, Pei Zhuxuan blinked and smiled quietly. He didn't say it clearly, but the meaning was obvious.

You are not suitable for this style and do not meet Chi Jingyuan's requirements.

"That's it..."

Hearing this explanation, Sun Shengwan seemed to feel a lot better instantly. She raised her head and thought for a while, then relaxed her brows. Then she hugged Pei Zhuxuan's waist forcefully, buried her head in her chest, and acted rogue while getting stuck: "No matter, I'm on your side, Ernie... Ernie, you have to make the decision for me!"

"..."

With his fragrant sister hugging him, Pei Zhuxuan looked at Lai Zi in his arms and smiled helplessly. But after hearing her words, he stroked Sun Shengwan's back and stared into the distance in a daze:

"How can I make the decision for you..."

…………

After the "Infinite Challenge Dance King Special" aired on the 17th, the sound source of the collaboration song "Dancing King" was also released by SM. With the cooperation of variety shows and songs, it instantly became the Kpop of today. Even the most popular topic in the variety show industry, in addition to the amazing music performance, related discussions can be seen almost everywhere on the Internet, and its influence has even exceeded the scope of the music industry.

"Actually, I didn't know much about EXO at first. After watching this program and the collaboration stage, I found it very interesting. At this time, I suddenly realized why EXO is top-notch and why Yoo Jae-seok is a top-notch program."

"Although they are all top stars, they are not arrogant at all. Are they still humble despite being in high positions as Peninsula artists, or are they able to stay in high positions for a long time because they have always been humble?

Even though this is a collaboration stage between top idols and top variety stars, it still exudes the freshness of newcomers. They seem to be as solid as a team. With mutual cooperation and hard work, they have left the best performance so far. One of the collaboration stages... I really want to see Yoo Jae Suk in front of the camera as EXO's maknae again. "

"I've never heard much about EXO, but this time the kids look really innocent, hardworking, and handsome. Please do more variety shows."

“They didn’t deliberately create exaggerated and funny effects just because of variety shows. Neither Yoo Jae Suk nor EXO had any intention of being in the limelight alone. They did everything they should do calmly, and it was a very comfortable special episode to watch together. The song "Dancing King" is also very nice, and this collaboration is really satisfying."

Chi Jingyuan, who specially adjusted the shooting time and returned to the company to start cooperating with Yu Jingyeon and others on subway songs, arrived a little early and was waiting in the practice room. When he was bored, he picked up the news on his mobile phone.

Looking at the comments on the Internet about the performance of EXO and Yoo Jae Suk's collaboration in "Infinite Challenge King of Dance Special", Chi Kyung Yuan felt warm in his heart and in a very good mood.

He didn't specifically pick out the rainbow-fart praising messages posted by EXO fans. Instead, he paid attention to the comments from older variety show fans who obviously didn't pay attention to boy groups or even Kpop. This time, SM The goal of EXO is this huge group of people.

The results are gratifying. Through this special episode, EXO has gained the love and attention of many uncles and aunties in this group, as well as young people who usually do not pay attention to boy groups, and its national popularity has increased significantly.

At EXO's current level, popularity and number of fans are actually not the most critical given the limited capacity of the local market. The importance of nationality has become increasingly important as the group develops.

He took the time to watch this special episode from beginning to end last night.

He felt that the filming was really good. It was not a comedy variety show where people were making fools of themselves, nor was it a performance show where someone stood out and looked cool.

It is like a reality show, or documentary, where a whole group works hard, cooperates, and achieves a common goal.

Although there are not many scenes of Chi Jingyuan from beginning to end, it seems that he is quite satisfied.

"According to statistics on the 18th, the ratings of MBC's 'Infinite Challenge King of Dance Special', which was relaxed on the 17th, reached the national standard of 21.8%, exceeding the 'Lucky Letter Special' at the beginning of the year of '17.4%. The rising index is the variety show broadcast on that day. One, also created the highest ratings of 'Infinite Challenge' in 2016. 》

This news should be the highest praise and praise for Yoo Jae Suk and EXO’s efforts over the past month.

Just as he was feeling moved by the news, Wu Shixun, who was in the same practice room and waiting for the arrival of his two other collaborators, walked over from the side and poked Chi Jingyuan's arm with a playful expression on his face and whispered. :

"Someone asked me for your phone number. Do you want to give it to me?"
