“It shouldn’t be…”

Hearing Wu Se-hun’s concerns, Chi Jingyuan also thought of this layer instantly, frowning: “This song is my…our collaboration song. I have seen the finished MV. It is well made. Everyone looks very handsome in black and white…”

Thinking about it, Twice’s popularity in the past two days is indeed unexpected. The burst of that sound source is really scary. After saying that, Chi Jingyuan hesitated again, took a sip of orange juice, and then said: “And not counting the advertisement to be played, we are just a subway song, and we are not participating in the song promotion. Whether “TT” is popular or not has no effect on us… Even if the performance is suppressed, it is normal~”

Advertising is the business of the advertising company, and ‘Subway Song’ is just a project of SM Company this year. One song will be released every week, and the company will not do too much publicity. It is an attempt at cooperation and sound source type, as well as feedback to fans. It will not be like the return of idols, and there will be no preheating, various publicity, showcase, concepts and other things. It is not a formal return.

This project has released 30 or 40 songs since the beginning of the year. There are only a few songs that really made a splash, namely "Rain" and "Dancing King". So there is actually no performance pressure for "Really Really".

It's just that in Chi Jingyuan's subconscious mind, whether it is Ming Jingnan, Zhou Ziyu, or the entire Twice, they are just newcomers. Although "Cheer Up" has been a big hit, he knew them too early after all. After all, he watched them debut, and even "Cheer Up" was produced by him.

So his overall impression of TWCIE has not changed. Sometimes he still stays at the stage where they are still very immature and unpopular. Subconsciously, he feels that Twice can't pose a threat to EXO or even himself, and is no different from other small-time boy and girl groups that are completely broken by EXO.

But the music industry changes so fast... Although there is no performance pressure for subway songs, if "Really Really", which he is very optimistic about, is ruthlessly knocked away by "TT", if nothing else, he must feel very embarrassed.

Now to smooth things over, it can be considered as considering defeat before considering victory!

"Who said that we can't promote songs?"

Unexpectedly, Wu Se-hun disagreed with him, raised his eyebrows and directly refuted: "Didn't Taeyeon's subway song "Rain" win the first place at the beginning of the year? I remember that Gfriend's "Time Passes" was a big hit at that time, and "Rain" also grabbed the first place. She didn't seem to be there?"

"Uh..."

Chi Jingyuan was speechless.

It seems that this is the case!

All the excuses were blocked, and Chi Jingyuan suddenly didn't know

what to say, and stared at him in anger: "That's Taeyeon's strength, she is Kim Taeyeon, Girls' Generation, what are you?"

After saying that, he picked up his phone and started browsing, and then ran away after the argument.

Seeing this, Wu Se-hun couldn't help rolling his eyes.

Shi Ba, I'm just a collaborator, this is not my song!

"But, instead of worrying about our subway song..."

After a short silence of one minute, Chi Jingyuan swiped his phone, picked up the orange juice in front of him, bit the straw and slurped the last bit.

While he was talking, he looked at a piece of news he had just seen on his phone and raised his eyebrows.

Today, Twice will fly to Jeju Island to record the Jeju Island special of "M! Countdown" live, which is also the first stage of "TT" after the comeback. They arrived in the morning, and now in less than a few hours, he has seen the airport photos of Twice today released by the media and marketing accounts.

Clicking in and scanning, he saw Mingjing Nan's airport photo today. She was wearing a burgundy jacket with a black lining, holding a mobile phone in her hand, and the couple ring and another ring were worn on the index finger and middle finger respectively, and the bracelet he gave her last time was already worn on the wrist of her right hand...

Chi Jingyuan felt that his girlfriend's private clothes were really good, and although her appearance was gentle and weak, his usual private clothes were more boyish.

When she is with him, her style will also change accordingly, becoming more sexy.

There is a slight contrast, and it will be fresh no matter when you look at it...

However, Twice's comeback this time is really strong. The airport photos are updated so quickly, and many marketing accounts have reposted them. This is the treatment that only popular groups can get.

Chi Jingyuan looked at Ming Jingnan's photos for a while, and his heart was slightly agitated. Then he casually flipped through the airport photos of other Twice people. At the same time, he continued with his previous words, with a strange expression and a subtle tone, saying: "Why not worry about Baekhyun and the others, they are the ones who are going to collide with Twice head-on..."

In addition to Ming Jingnan, only Zhou Ziyu has a good outfit. Compared with Ming Jingnan, the airport fashion of others is not interesting, and they still look a little immature... Chi Jingyuan raised his head and glanced at Wu Sehun: "It seems that they will hold a showcase today?"

After a long period of preparation, the first EXO sub-group CBX, which has attracted much attention, is finally going to make its official debut. The previously expected debut time was the end of October. According to the current situation, after consideration by the company, it was put on October 27th, which is today.

The team's debut is much more formal than their subway songs. Teasers and concept photos have been released several times, including the OST of "Bu Bu Jing Xin" and the trio's concert. Various preparations started very early. Hot, the unit's debut showcase will be held today and the whole process will be broadcast live on V LIVE. It is no different from the process of EXO's return. It can be said that they really take it seriously, and the treatment does not live up to the name of 'EXO's first unit' head.

EXO is now the undisputed top group in Kpop. CBX, as their first sub-unit, is of course attracting much attention, and in everyone's mind, it is natural that the sub-unit must have excellent results.

Originally, many people thought that the EXO sub-unit had inherited the popularity of the main group and should be the best in blocking and killing the gods, with no rivals... But everyone expected that Twice would suddenly pop up and the momentum would be frightening.

In this way, the situation suddenly becomes a little difficult to say...

However, for Twice, the EXO team is actually the most stressful competitor besides IOI recently.

"Yeah, brother Baekhyun and the others have probably rehearsed at the venue now. I just found photos of the venue in the group, didn't you see?" Wu Shixun nodded and swiped his fingers on his phone a few times.

Then he suddenly remembered something: "By the way, did you record the congratulatory video for CBX?"

"Of course I recorded it."

While talking, Chi Jingyuan stood up after seeing Wu Shixun also finish drinking coffee: "The day before yesterday, I received a call from Brother Chengyuan when I was on the set. I didn't even film the scene yet so I asked Brother Zhichang to record it for me. video.”

CBX is about to debut, no matter what the other members of EXO think in their hearts, or whether there is any little Jiujiu, but as a member of the group, it is natural to congratulate them.

With the help of their managers, everyone in EXO specially recorded a video to congratulate CBX on their debut, which will be played as a surprise at CBX's debut showcase today for them and fans to watch.

The two of them got up and left the cafe and took the elevator upstairs. After stepping out of the elevator, Chi Jingyuan asked curiously: "By the way, how many pre-sales are there for CBX's debut album?"

"I saw it was 350,000 the day before yesterday, and it should be almost 400,000 now." Unlike Chi Jingyuan who has been focusing on other things recently and not paying much attention to it, Wu Shixun understands it very well.

"Well……"

Hearing this number, Chi Jingyuan groaned noncommittally.

"What do you mean? Do you think it's too much or too little?"

"Is it...a little less?"

After hesitating for a moment, he told the truth.

The song will be officially released today. CBX fans should have bought everything they want, but the pre-sale price so far is less than 400,000. After the official release, if it is not the kind of hit song that is very popular, according to experience, the final Sales volume should only be around 500,000 to 600,000.

Although this number is unimaginable for other groups, even the now explosive TWICE is completely out of reach, but compared with EXO itself, as the first subunit that has attracted a lot of attention, it seems a little bit A little less.

"I think it's actually okay."

Wu Shixun thought it was pretty good.

He sighed and looked very understanding: "...Now our group has fewer and fewer group fans, but more and more Wei fans, and many group fans may not necessarily buy the team's products. You don’t even look at the configuration of the CBX team... If you were here, it would definitely not be this number..."

"And there is no Chinese version of CBX's debut album..." At the end, he added in a complicated tone.

Many of EXO's super sales in recent years have been contributed by mainland fans. Although there will still be a lot of fan support without a Chinese version, it will definitely be much less.

"Too……"

After hearing his analysis, Chi Jingyuan thought for a while and nodded in agreement.

But this hanging man really knows how to talk, and his words, 'If you were here...' made him feel happy.

He was about to walk to the practice room. Just when Chi Jingyuan was about to continue saying something, he suddenly felt his phone vibrate. He picked it up and saw a text message from Najing Nan.

"Is Gen-chan free now (smiley face)?"

Um?

Chi Jingyuan blinked after seeing the content. He had just seen Ming Jingnan's airport photo, and he was still thinking about her... Without hesitation, he quickly replied.

Of course I'm free.

Less than five seconds after the message was sent, the phone vibrated, and Mingjing Nan directly made a video call.

Looking at the vibrating phone, Chi Jingyuan looked around. There was an echo in the corridor that was not suitable for video. He grabbed Wu Shixun who had just opened the door to the practice room and was about to walk in. He pointed at the phone and pursed his lips slightly: "How about you go to the toilet?"

Wu Shixun understood what he meant instantly, walked in and pulled out his legs halfway, gave a middle finger with great disdain, and turned around to leave.

Chi Jingyuan smiled and waved goodbye to his back. He walked into the empty EXO practice room. After closing the door, he sat directly on the sofa and connected the video. After a brief buffering, a pretty face appeared on his face. appear on the screen.

Mingjing Nan seemed to see Chi Jingyuan at the same time, with obvious joy in his eyes.

She shook the camera slightly and said, "Can you see it?"

"Stop shaking. If you shake your eyes again, your eyes will be blinded." Chi Jingyuan leaned on the sofa and couldn't help but smile when he looked at his little girlfriend on the screen.

"Hee~ Yuan-chan, what are you doing?" Najing Nan blinked at Chi Jingyuan and looked around him: "Your background...is it in the practice room?"

"Well, I filmed two scenes on the set in the morning. After dinner, I had a meeting with the advertising agency. I just arrived at the practice room." Chi Jingyuan explained today's itinerary in detail. He knew that Ming Jingnan Just like hearing him say this.

"Will you return to the set later?"

"I won't go back today. I have to prepare for the Mercedes press conference the day after tomorrow...and then review my homework."

After saying that, he tilted his head, looked at Mingnan and asked curiously: "Didn't you go to Jeju Island to record "M!C" today?"

"Yes, we just finished the rehearsal, so I sneaked out while I had nothing to do... But I won't stay for long, I have to go back to film Twice TV later."

Minami chuckled, and as she spoke, she zoomed out a little further to reveal the surrounding background. At this time, she seemed to be in a parking lot, her voice had a slight echo, and she was wearing a poolside dress. The burgundy jacket that Yuan had seen on the news before had a rehearsal name tag attached to the chest.

After showing the surrounding environment, Mingjing Nan zoomed the camera a little closer, looked at Chi Jingyuan with shining eyes, and complained with a sticky mouth: "...You don't even know the temperature in Jeju Island today. So low,”

"Then you're still wearing a skirt?" Chi Jingyuan's eyes slightly lowered. Although there was only his girlfriend's face in the video, he had seen the airport photos and knew that she was wearing a small leather skirt today, and her legs were completely exposed. .

"Aren't we going to the airport? Our manager Ernie said in advance that there must be a lot of media taking photos, so let's dress up and look good..."

Feeling his little girlfriend's coquettishness, Chi Jingyuan also nodded in approval: "It's indeed pretty."

"Also, the wind here is very strong. During the rehearsal, my hair was blown all over my face and I couldn't open my eyes... The same happened to Sana. Her eyes were covered by her hair and she almost fell down. "

"...I had seafood noodles for lunch today, but the taste was a bit too salty, not as good as the one I ate with you last time."

"...My stage outfit today is a pink suit and a small skirt. I quite like this color. Caiying and the others said it looks pretty. I originally wanted to wear it to show you, but it's a pity that this Is it still possible to change it..."

Mingjing Nan seemed to have endless words to say. He talked about a lot of today's things in his grandma's voice, as if he wanted to share all his experiences with Chi Jingyuan.

"Yuan-chan..."

As she spoke, her voice slowly slowed down and became lower. She looked at him, raised her upper lip slightly and whispered:

"I miss you so much..."

"..."

Hearing this, Chi Jingyuan paused slightly.

After having an intimate relationship some time ago, Naijing Nan became extremely attached to him. She followed him wherever he went in the apartment all afternoon, wishing that he could not get off her body.

For the two of them, this was a time when they were inseparable. After not seeing each other for a few days, it was obvious that the little girlfriend was a little anxious.

Hearing Mingjing Nan's murmuring voice and feeling the sincerity and attachment in her heart, Chi Jingyuan could clearly feel that his eyes were all about him, and he felt pity in his heart.

After being quiet for about ten seconds, facing Nai Minami's straightforward expression of emotion, he thought about it for a moment, and did not say any love words such as "I miss you too". Instead, he looked at the time displayed on his phone. After estimating the time, he said directly:

"Let's see, it's 2:20 in the afternoon. I'll put aside other things today and rush to Incheon Airport to take a flight to Jeju Island. I should be able to land before five o'clock and rush to the venue of "M!C" Ask an acquaintance to help you sneak in, and if you wear a mask to disguise yourself, no one will notice."

"Pfft..."

Najing Nan burst into laughter, showing his teeth as usual and smiling happily, hehehe, looking at him happily.

Although what Chi Jingyuan said was serious, she knew that there was not much possibility of it being realized...and even if he could really come, she was not willing to delay her boyfriend's business because of herself.

But she was already happy to hear Chi Jingyuan say this without much hesitation.

In the video, the two people looked at each other and slowly became quiet, seemingly enjoying the sweet feeling of looking at each other.

However, Chi Jingyuan still remembered that Mingjing Nan sneaked out. After checking the time, he reminded: "It's getting late. Do you want to go back first?"

But the little girlfriend was obviously reluctant to leave. She also looked at the time, pouted and shook her head: "Just stay for a while... um, three minutes."

"correct."

Just after she finished speaking, she seemed to have remembered something. She raised her eyebrows and quickly zoomed out, showing her upper body in front of the camera.

Without any prelude, she suddenly jumped on the spot, drew a strange circle on her chest with her right hand and raised it high. At the same time, her expression also changed suddenly. After posing, she tilted her head and looked at Chi Jingyuan seriously. .

"..."

Mina did this for no reason, and the sticky atmosphere was instantly destroyed. Chi Jingyuan was also stunned when he saw such a nonsensical action.

What is he doing?

Is he having a seizure?

Is his body language funny?

"Mina, what are you doing..."

The air suddenly became silent. He looked at Ming Jingnan who was posing motionlessly in the video. After a few seconds, he hesitated and asked.

The seriousness on Ming Jingnan's face disappeared, and he looked at Chi Jingyuan with a smile and expectation, still maintaining this funny pose as if he was about to transform: "Yuanjiang, who do you think I look like in this action?"

Well, it turns out that I am cosplaying...

It's okay if I don't have a seizure. Chi Jingyuan was relieved immediately.

If it looks like someone, it should be an anime character... He looked at Mingjing Nan's ridiculous pose, pursed his lips and recalled carefully, and then seemed to remember something, and asked tentatively: "Is it... Venus in "Sailor Moon"? "

"I knew you could tell!"

Hearing Chi Jingyuan's answer, Mingjing Nan immediately smiled and stopped posing. She looked at Chi Jingyuan happily close to the camera, and then explained happily: "Didn't we go to record "SNL Korea" yesterday? Jihyo, MOMO, and Chaeyoung and I played Sailor Moon together. I COSed Venus. We also recorded the theme song..."

Just after he finished speaking, Mingjing Nan jumped up again, raised his right hand high again, looked at Chi Jingyuan seriously and asked: "Do you think this action is handsome?"

Chi Jingyuan only felt the screen shaking, and he was really worried that Mingjing Nan's phone would be thrown to the ground. When it became clear again, he saw his girlfriend posing this speechless and funny pose again.

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he didn't know what to say.

Ming Jingnan's temperament and appearance are relatively gentle, with a bit of a socialite-like abstinence. When she makes such funny movements seriously, there will be a very contrasting sense of funnyness, which makes people laugh and cry. But she likes to do this from time to time.

However, this contrast is really loved.

"Yes, a little handsome." After hesitating for a while, Chi Jingyuan still agreed with her statement against his will, but seeing Ming Jingnan grinning so happily in the video and continuing to pose happily, he also laughed along.

"One minute left!"

After a while, Ming Jingnan looked at her mobile phone, grasping the last time to share with Chi Jingyuan an interesting thing that just happened: "Yuanjiang, do you know, in the backstage this morning, a male idol who just debuted asked me for my phone number in the corridor. Chaeyoung was next to me at the time, and he actually came directly."

"Which group? So arrogant just after debut?"

Chi Jingyuan blinked and asked in surprise.

Twice is so popular now, and it is normal for Mingjing Nan to be sought after for her appearance. There are countless people in and outside the circle who like her. Chi Jingyuan doesn't think it's a big deal if someone takes action. He just feels that this behavior is a little arrogant.

"It seems to be called Pentagon, a boy group that just debuted. That member is also from Japan. I guess it's because of this..."

"Is that so... Then what do you say?"

"Of course I refused, saying that my phone was managed by the company... I hate people who go beyond their limits and have no sense of propriety the most."

Mingjing Nan's tone was obviously complaining... She liked Chi Jingyuan, but her standards were very high. Minato Saki Sana complained about the trainees and she looked down on this and that.

Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but laugh. Even the way this girlfriend rejected people was very consistent with her temperament.

He nodded and said casually: "It's good to say that... You can't just say you already have a boyfriend, right?"

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Mingjing Nan paused for a moment, pursed her lips and looked at him seriously:

"If this happens again next time... I'll say this."

…………

At about 8 o'clock in the evening, EXO-CBX's debut showcase had been carried out for the most part on the special stage on the east side of COEX in Samseong-dong, Seoul. After several stage performances, it was time to play the surprise VCR.

Bian Baekhyun and the other three, as well as thousands of fans present, were watching the VCR played on the big screen... Most people didn't know the content of this VCR in advance.

When other members appeared on the screen and sent their blessings to EXO-CBX's debut one by one, cheers broke out from the audience.

Especially when Chi Jingyuan showed his face, the screams below were raised to a higher level.

"Aniha Saiyo, I'm EXO's youngest Yuan."

Ji Jingyuan, wearing a black formal suit, stood in front of a light-colored wooden wall, looking at the camera and sincerely sending his blessings: "Xiumin, Chen, and Baekhyun... Congratulations on CBX's official debut."

{The youngest's face is so outstanding...} Kim Minseok exclaimed on the stage.

"I've listened to the full version of the music and watched the MV. CBX really prepared very seriously this time."

"Please look forward to and support EXO-CBX, Kang Sang Mi Da~"

As Chi Jingyuan bowed, the three members of CBX cheered with the fans below.

No matter what the truth is in private, all the fans can feel the strong team spirit of EXO at this time, which is really touching.

The showcase was held, the members participated, the team spirit was there, and the debut of EXO's first sub-group was almost perfect. Now all that is missing is a result that meets everyone's expectations.

At this time, not only the audience at the scene was paying attention, but countless EXO fans were watching the live broadcast of V APP while discussing the debut of this sub-group in their respective chat groups.

"Congratulations to EXO-CBX for their official debut! Wow, our XO is really full of team spirit. I almost cried when I saw other members congratulating one by one. "

"After waiting for so long, a sub-group is finally formed...but I always feel that this configuration is a little bit worse, without my favorite."

"I also think that I don’t know what SM is thinking about this configuration of CBX. If it is a team formed by the main vocal line, why are Yuan and D.O. not there? The performance of the first sub-group is very important. It shoulders the important task of making a good start for the subsequent sub-group planning. As a result, there is no member of the popular line. I have always been a little indifferent to dating celebrities like Baekhyun. I don’t know what a 35-year-old middle-aged man still wants to do in EXO. "

"If Yuan is there, it will be great..."

"Yuan’s popularity does not need the exposure of the sub-group. He is too busy filming now."

"Yuan really shouldn’t join the sub-group, and it’s not rumored that Yuan is going to leave Solo? I've heard about this rumor a long time ago. When will there be official news? "

"I've heard about this rumor too. I'm saving money and looking forward to it! ! ... But who is the subway song for SM this week? Usually it's announced about a week in advance. Why is there no news about this week's song until today?"

"Let's not talk about this for now. Today is the first sub-group of XO to debut anyway. The audio source will be released soon. Come on, A.R.Y., the data will go up soon. Twice and "TT" are really powerful recently. We can't be suppressed by them no matter what."

"Indeed, this new girl group has been a bit arrogant these days. I feel annoyed when I see Lim Nayeon's face. She's so disgusting to act cute every day. It's okay that they didn't have opponents a few days ago, but this time let them see what a TOP boy group is."

"Knock Twice away! Bully Lim Nayeon!"
