Chapter 260 we are one
"Xone?"

"Yeah, it just so happens that our group is called XO, and the slogan is we are one. When the two are combined, the letter O will overlap. It looks great."

This suggestion was made by Chen, the more he thought about it, the more he felt it was appropriate, his eyes lit up and he kept looking at the member next to him, Amway.

"Why don't we just call it sone? Then fans of Girls' Generation seniors will be considered our fans."

Bian Boxian gave him a disgusted look, and waved his hands as if you were unreliable: "The fan names are too similar, not only the other party's fans will tear up, but our own meals will not be satisfied."

"How about calling XOs?"

"What do you mean? XO brandies in the plural?"

"Shouldn't it be called a star? Isn't the concept of our combination a planet outside the Milky Way?"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

"It's not what you guys are laughing at? I just know that I'm laughing there, and I can give some advice on my own."

A fan name arouses the interest and enthusiasm of the members. A group of people are talking to each other, but most of the names they choose are not very reliable, and some of them are completely unbearable.

"Jing Yuan, do you have any good ideas about what you proposed?"

Do Kyungsoo, who was sitting next to him, nudged Chi Jingyuan with his elbow, looked at him and asked a question.

"I just brought it up. I haven't thought much about it yet. Let me talk about it after I think about it."

Chi Jingyuan shook his head innocently.

He looked at the lively discussion members with great interest, occasionally interjected a few words, and from time to time laughed and mocked those members who came up with nonsensical fan names.

Suddenly the phone in his pocket vibrated, Chi Jingyuan took out the phone to check, it was from Zheng Xiujing, asking if he was in the company now.

"I'm going out for a while, and I'll be back right away. If the agent comes back and asks, he will say that I went to the bathroom."

Chi Jingyuan explained to Do Kyungsoo who was next to him, and without waiting for the other party's response, he walked out quietly with his mobile phone.

…………

"You asked me to come out and you didn't say anything. You didn't sleep well last night and your mind was not clear?"

In the stairwell on the third floor of the SM company, Chi Jingyuan looked at Zheng Xiujing who was standing there without saying a word, full of depression, sighed and spoke helplessly.

He came out after receiving the text message just now, and made an appointment in the stairway between the third and fourth floors where no one usually walks, but after the meeting, Oh Soo-jin had a very gloomy expression and stood there without saying a word.

"I should have known that I just told you that I'm not in the company anymore."

Seeing Zheng Xiujing like this, Chi Jingyuan leaned against the wall, pursed his lips and sounded a little regretful, which made Zheng Xiujing couldn't help but glance at him sideways.

Then neither of them spoke, and the stairwell fell into silence for more than two minutes, before Chi Jingyuan looked at her and asked again: "Tell me, why are you in a bad mood, who messed with you again?" Is it? Your sister, or your member? It must be people from these two aspects."

"How do you know if it's me, Ernie, or my member?" Oh Soo-jin stared at him.

"Guess."

Chi Jingyuan pursed his lips, and looked at each other with Zheng Xiujing: "I'll go back if you don't tell me."

"cut……"

Oh Soo-jin wrinkled her nose, lowered her head and looked at the ground, and at the same time exerted her right foot and kept rubbing her toes against the floor. Finally, she said, "I had a fight with O'Neill, and I had a few words with Sulli just now." mouth."

"........."

Chi Jingyuan didn't speak, but nodded slightly, looking at her to signal that he was listening carefully.

Seeing the other party's appearance just now, he guessed where he was angry, felt aggrieved and wanted to find someone to vent to.

After asking him out, he felt a little embarrassed, so he stood there pretending to be cold, and waited for Chi Jingyuan to ask.

Tsundere or something is really not cute at all.

"I'm such an old man, and I, O'Neill, still take care of that every day. She has to ask where I go to play, and who I'm close to. I'm getting bored to death. I called again yesterday and told me not to Who are you playing with..."

"There is also Sulli, who is often not serious in practice recently, always perfunctory, and her voice is still loud. If you say she doesn't care, she will start arguing if you say a few more words..."

Under Chi Kyung-won's guidance, Oh Soo-jin opened up the chatter box, and kept talking about the annoying things that happened in the past few days, most of them were about her O'Neil, and a small part was about Cui Xueli.

She was obviously very dissatisfied with these two people, complaining about these two sisters and companions who were with her day and night.

In the past two days, it seems that they have been holding a lot of anger in their hearts, and today they finally couldn't help but want to confide, so they sent a message to meet Chi Jingyuan.

When Zheng Xiujing said a few words, she would look at Chi Jingyuan, as if she wanted to get approval from him to have the motivation to continue talking, and Chi Jingyuan also gave her the look she wanted at the right time, so that Zheng Xiujing could use up her psychological accumulation. All the complaints came out in one brain.

After talking for a while, she finally felt good about complaining, took a breath, raised her head and looked at Chi Jingyuan, wanting to see his reaction.

"What are you looking at me for?"

Sensing the other party's sight, Chi Jingyuan glanced at her, leaned against the wall with a lazy look, and asked in a lowly tone: "You don't think I will say some warm words to comfort you, do you?"

Before Zheng Xiujing's little eyes became sharper, Chi Jingyuan looked at her and added: "It would be nice to lend you a shoulder."

As he spoke, he shrugged his shoulders and gestured to Zheng Xiujing.

"Humph."

In the meantime, Zheng Xiujing snorted softly as if dissatisfied, but took the initiative to take two steps towards Chi Jingyuan, her back pressed against the wall like him, and her head rested on Chi Jingyuan's shoulder.

The mood of being depressed and aggrieved before has subconsciously improved a lot.

No one spoke in the empty and silent corridor, only the faint breathing of the two could be heard.

At this moment, the sound of extremely light footsteps faintly spread into Chi Jingyuan's ears. He judged the direction and looked over, but it was too late. A figure slowly walked down the stairs on the fourth floor, and he was already standing I saw them on the top of the stairs, and met Chi Jingyuan's gaze.

Seeing this familiar figure, it was a coincidence that Chi Jingyuan sighed.

Pei Zhuxuan stood awkwardly on the top of the stairs, looking at the familiar Chi Jingyuan below, and the senior Zheng Xiujing who debuted in the company, her heart was surging for a while, and all kinds of emotions made her feel a little down, and then there was a burst of grandeur.

"ah!"

At this time, Oh Soo-jin also saw Pei Zhuxuan standing on the side of the stairs, and quickly raised her head leaning on Chi Jingyuan's shoulder. After recognizing that she was a trainee, she felt a little relieved, and then looked at Pei Zhuxuan with a little annoyance. Hold back and drink: "Is there no sound when walking?"

She was a little angry. Apart from the panic and embarrassment caused by being bumped into when she was relatively close with Chi Jingyuan, many of them were also because the atmosphere of getting along with her that she enjoyed just now was suddenly broken by someone. She couldn't help but get a little angry while feeling lost.

Chi Jingyuan gently pulled Zheng Xiujing, then looked at Pei Zhuxuan with a smile, waved and said hello: "It's such a coincidence, Zhuxuanxi, we can meet you here too, we are so destined."

His expression looked quite relaxed, he was just saying hello to an old friend, and he didn't have the emotions that should be felt when someone breaks out and acts intimately with a girl.

"Nai...Nai, what a coincidence, Jing Yuanxi."

Pei Zhuxuan was woken up by Chi Jingyuan's voice, she quickly squeezed out a smile, waved to him, and at the same time saluted to Zheng Xiujing, in the end she seemed to be worried about something, and she specifically explained: "Just now the room manager called I'm going to talk about something, the elevator was a bit slow when I went downstairs, so I just took the stairs..."

Zheng Xiujing was pulled for a while, and after listening to a few sentences, she could see that Chi Jingyuan and this trainee knew each other, and she didn't get angry again, she stood by and watched their conversation.

Chi Jingyuan smiled and chatted with Pei Zhuxuan casually. They haven't seen each other for almost a month since the last showcase, and they are very ordinary friends.

However, the other party was obviously absent-minded, and after a few words, he took the initiative to salute and leave.

"Then I'll go first, I still have practice when I go back."

"Nai, next time you are free, ask Seul Qi and the others to have dinner together."

After saying goodbye, in Chi Jingyuan's sight, Pei Zhuxuan ran down the stairs as quickly as if he was running away, and disappeared from his sight after a few steps.

"Your friend?" Zheng Xiujing asked in a flat tone.

"Can't you see it?" Chi Jingyuan turned to look at her and asked in doubt.

"You still have a friend who is a trainee... so free, is it because that trainee grows up nicely?" Her tone sounded a bit sarcastic.

As if he didn't hear it, Chi Jingyuan smiled and blinked, and still replied the same way:
"Can't you see it?"

"laugh……"

Zheng Xiujing glared at him angrily, patted Chi Jingyuan hard, then tightened her neckline and said "I'll go first", then patted her buttocks and walked away quickly.

Judging by her appearance, she seems to have returned to normal.

Chi Jingyuan looked at the place where she left, pouted his lips and turned around and hurried back to EXO's practice room.

…………

"Ernie, what's wrong with you?"

Jiang Seulqi looked at Pei Zhuxuan who was sitting on the floor with a displeased face after she came back, and leaned over to ask a question with concern.

"It's okay, just a little tired."

Pei Zhuxuan looked at her and smiled, and after pondering for a second, she suddenly said, "Seul Qi, Jing Yuan Xi him..."

It's just that Pei Zhuxuan stopped before she finished speaking. She pursed her lips and thought for a while, but didn't continue.

"What's wrong with Jingyuan?" Jiang Seqi asked curiously when she heard the half-cut.

"It's okay..."

Pei Zhuxuan stroked her hair, and a sunny smile bloomed on her face again, looking gentle and bright, as if the person who had a bad complexion just now was not her at all.

She stroked her hair lightly, and pursed her lips naturally: "Isn't it the Seoul Music Awards soon? I wonder if Jing Yuanxi and the others can win the awards this time."

"It must be no problem, EXO is so popular now, they have already won three awards, and the last one is definitely not a problem." Jiang Seulqi is full of confidence in this combination of her relatives.

"That's right." Pei Zhuxuan nodded, then stood up actively, and grinned at her: "Let's go, let's continue practicing."

"Inside."

…………

"Then it's finally time to hand out the honorable grand prize trophy."

"I'm really proud, Wuli Yazhongxi will publish it herself."

On January 1, the three-hour live broadcast of the No.23 20rd Seoul Music Awards was coming to an end, entering the final stage and awarding the awards.

The organizer selects a grand prize winner from among the twelve previous winners of this award.

Because there is only one award for the entire award ceremony, its gold content and difficulty of obtaining it are among the best among the four major award ceremonies.

At this time, two award presenters, Kim Kwang Rae, representative director of "Seoul Sports" and actor Kim Ah Joong, were speaking in front of the microphone.

"The award of honor will be announced in the 12 teams of this award."

As the fans below kept shouting the name of his idol group, Jin Yazhong opened the envelope and announced the final winner to the camera:

"Seoul Sports No.20 1rd high[-] Seoul Music Awards..."

"The grand prize of honor is... EXO, congratulations!"

Hearing this name, all the fans in the venue burst into deafening shouts, and all the artists in the artist booth stood up and applauded to congratulate, and the passionate BGM also sounded.

The EXO members who were sitting at the artist seat round table stood up at the same time, and after taking a long breath, they showed bright smiles. Twelve of them hugged each other around the round table.

Everyone can hear the breathing and heartbeat of the members next to them, and feel the excitement, joy and excitement of each other.

Immediately afterwards, they hurriedly saluted and thanked the senior artistes around them. When Chi Jingyuan passed by the Girls' Generation table next to him, Taeyeon and Sunny took the initiative to lean forward and slapped him hard one after another. He also smiled happily, and seemed quite happy for Chi Jingyuan.

And Chi Jingyuan smiled and waved to them, and then followed the members step by step from the artist seat to the awards platform.

What's interesting is that Jung Eun Ji is one of the MCs in today's awards ceremony. She is very conspicuous standing on the stage in a slim red dress.

Originally, she had been standing by the side, smiling at the EXO members who walked towards him and kept returning salutes, but when it was Chi Jingyuan's turn at the end, she squinted her crescent eyes and grinned, showing her big white teeth.Taking the initiative to take a step forward, he stretched out his right hand and shook it.

"congratulations!"

Chi Jingyuan gave her a high five happily, and then heard Zheng Endi say something sincerely to him.

To be honest, Zheng Eunji's outfit today is really pretty. The long red dress and curly hair make her look like a lady, and at the same time, she has a friendly smile that makes people feel good. It adds a lot of color to the whole person.

And when did she get so skinny?

Chi Jingyuan felt that his relatives might gain fans after the awards ceremony.

The two nodded and exchanged glances. Chi Jingyuan didn't stop there, and stepped up a few steps to stand at the side of the members who had already lined up.

The testimonials are still the same. EXO, who is already the fourth grand prize, is already familiar with the road.

Jin Junmian first gave a lengthy speech of thanks and emotion, and then the microphone passed a sentence to everyone in turn, and finally went to Chi Jingyuan and said it in Korean first, and then said it again in English.

The Seoul Music Awards may seem to have a slightly higher gold content than the Golden Disc Awards, but in fact they are similar, but today EXO seems to be much more excited than the Golden Disc Awards a few days ago.

Because winning this big award means that they beat all the four major award ceremonies in the peninsula music industry in 2013, and every award ceremony has an astonishing achievement of getting a big award.

It's been more than a year since their debut, and they have won 1 awards in their hands as a rookie. It can't help but make people sigh that EXO's momentum of popularity soaring to the sky last year is really unstoppable.

After the testimonials were finished, it was the final encore stage. Chi Jingyuan didn't paddle this time, and stood at the front of the stage with a microphone in his hand, happily singing along with the excited fans below.

In the artist seat below, Shinee and Girls' Generation, as seniors from the same company, stood up to support EXO throughout the process, waving and dancing along, showing the family relationship very well.

When it was Chi Kyung Won's turn to part, the camera showed the Girls' Generation table in the entertainer's seat, Kim Taeyeon looked very happy, and stretched out both hands to the camera with a funny expression.

In the final chorus part, the idols in the entertainer’s seat under the camera were all very high, and Apink’s table also performed the signature beating movement of the choreography of "Roar". I don't know what to be happy about.

The award ceremony finally came to an end in the "Roar", which has been listened to countless times, but still has a sense of rhythm.

Afterwards, according to the tradition of the Seoul Music Awards, under the arrangement of the organizer, all the artists present took a photo together, and then saluted and said goodbye to each other, not to mention it for the time being.

…………

Last night, I had a meal with the members to celebrate. Chi Jingyuan, who hadn’t been happy for a while, packed up his things the next day, and came here with Park Jae-hyun, his assistant, and the team specially assigned by the company for his activities in Xiaguo At the airport, sitting in the waiting room waiting for the flight.

He will soon start his activities in Xiaguo again, and SM and the mainland partner companies have been looking forward to it for an unknown period of time.

I heard that they have wasted a lot of effort this time, and put Chi Jingyuan into a few more important evening parties near the Spring Festival. This time the itinerary should be more difficult.

At this time, Chi Jingyuan was sitting in the middle of a row of sofas in the waiting room, leaning lazily on the back of the chair, crossing his legs, and brushing his phone.

He was planning to go online to see the comments and reactions on the Internet about EXO's winning song award yesterday.

But when he turned on his phone, he immediately found a fan post that was on the top of their EXO fanclub, and this post was also listed in the hot searches of some entertainment forums.

Chi Jingyuan couldn't help clicking in curiously, and looked at it seriously.

"I watched the live broadcast of the Seoul Music Awards yesterday. When I saw the encore stage of the final awards, the ribbons were floating above, the fans below were shouting, and the [-] members of XO stood on the top in high spirits. I was very emotional for a while. I couldn't help I went to fanclub and wrote this long review.

Feeling it out of nowhere, I recalled XO's experience from debut to now, what came to mind, sorry for the confusion.

I am a very ordinary fan of EXO (E is not pronounced), and my family background is not very good. I can only buy two or three albums when I am frugal when it comes to selling albums. There is no problem with rankings. , but every time the fan group fundraises, it feels powerless.

But my fan age is very old, I started to follow them before their debut.At that time, I also saw Yuan’s debut teaser video by chance, and I was immediately caught by Yuan’s smile at the end of the teaser video, and I fell in love with it immediately, and gradually learned about the whole EXO through him.

I am the only fan of Yuan, and I also like the whole team very much. I don’t know what kind of fan this is, a combination of Weifan and Tuanfan?

Before their debut, XO really attracted a lot of attention. SM itself is a big company. The brand-new large-scale boy group they launched after several years has its own popularity. Before its debut, there were already a lot of fans. It's lively, and newcomers are still coming in continuously. It seems that everything is in good shape.

It's just that such a good situation collapsed immediately after the release of the MV and sound source of the debut song "MAMA".

Because the title song is really disappointing, no matter the song style, melody, or clothing style are the same, even if I am a fan, I think this song is very ordinary.

I still remember that the Internet was full of black comments about XO at that time. Apart from the ugly title song and ugly appearance, the most popular ones were the fans of the seniors of the same company, because XO's debut may occupy the resources of the seniors, resulting in a short period of time. It's like EXO has become the target of public criticism, as if they can't keep up with the trend without scolding a few words.

It is already polite to speak out and ridicule. It is really difficult for them to make up so many novel-like plots to black us.

At that time, the company didn't have any intention of controlling and criticizing, and let fans from all over the world criticize XO wantonly on the Internet. This is also SM's consistent style, and everyone is used to it.

I remember at that time, apart from the fans of the same company group, the most scolded on the Internet was the fan of the boy group BAP and NU'EST that debuted at the same time.

The development of these two idol debuts is much smoother than that of XO, and because they debuted at the same time, they naturally became competitors. The fans of these two companies are spraying us on the Internet every day, and at the same time Amway their idols, so proud The tone really pissed me off.

But there is no way, the competition between fans will ultimately depend on the strength and achievements of idols. At that time, XO was indeed unpopular, and we recognized it.

Because of various things, the popularity was cut in half. During that time, fanclub basically had no newcomers, and people quit every day. It was really sad that the names that were blacked out one by one.

Many new fans may not know that XO was really difficult in the few months after debut. The scenes of XO's activities at that time look really uncomfortable, sad and distressed.

When Baekhyun held his birthday party in May, there were a total of more than a dozen people. The fans combined were not as many as XO’s members and staff (pictured), but the members were still very happy, enthusiastic and fans who came to the scene Interacting without any embarrassment or dissatisfaction.

Sometimes because of the rush of time and no income, the members just sit on the side of the road and eat.

EXO-M team’s first signing event, two or three big cats and kittens, cover the name of the scene photo, now you can’t believe that this is EXO’s signing event.

The K team performed in thin clothes on a very cold day, and the breath was obvious when they opened their mouths.

Because of being ridiculed by the online group and not being popular enough, I have not received any announcements. I finally received a commercial performance, but in the end I couldn’t get the performance fee. The organizer gave each member a bag of rice as a reward, but The EXO members still seemed very happy, at least it was an announcement that they could show up.

There were really too many such scenes at that time, and many of them are still fresh in my memory.

And that's not bad, because at least there is an itinerary to see them.

However, after the first few months of XO’s debut, the schedule and exposure have dropped sharply. It has become a luxury for us to see them on TV. Various magazines and tabloids say that EXO is SM’s failure.

No variety shows, no popularity, no new songs, no appearances, just gossip, this was the situation of EXO at that time.

If it wasn't for Yuan still receiving commercials and showing his face on TV at that time, we were really worried that XO would disband.

Fortunately, at the most difficult time, when the fans were about to give up, Yuan received the male lead of "Reply 1997".

I remember it was really exciting when I heard the news. The friends in the fan group happily discussed it for a long time, and agreed with each other to stick to the broadcast.

This drama was really not favored by anyone at the time, but it was already a very good itinerary for XO.

Fortunately, our prayers seem to have been fulfilled. "Answer" became popular and set a cable TV ratings record. Yuan, who played the leading role, was widely recognized and his popularity soared. At the same time, he brought the group EXO back to the public's attention. within.

From then on, the situation seems to be getting better gradually, although apart from Yuan who often shows up because of the TV drama fire, other people’s schedules are still not much, but from time to time you can see the members appearing on TV, no longer It was a state that could be disbanded at any time.

At the end of the year, I was able to go on the stage. In the end, because of the excellent sales, I also won several newcomer awards. While being recognized by many people, those black fans finally got enough spray and stopped a lot, and I finally got through that period. hardest time.

This change really makes us old fans breathe a sigh of relief.

Then came 13. Ever since SM announced EXO’s comeback in May, we have been looking forward to it. The new song after 5 year and 1 months is really so rare that we almost thought we would never see it again.

The regular album "XOXO" really did not disappoint. "Wolf" is refreshing, the handsome and fierce choreography, the amazing tree of life, etc. It seems that everything is getting better, and EXO is on the road to success Keep going.

Sure enough, June 6th, my memory of this day is really deep, EXO is in today's M! In Countdown, he won the first place in the singing stage, and the first trophy in the first year and three months of his debut.

In the video that was released at that time, the members were unable to restrain their excitement and cried together in the background. Kai and Lay were crying like a child. Yuan, who has always been very calm, obviously couldn't control his emotions, and his eyes flickered. Tears.

That scene really made a deep impression on me.

From this first place, everything is going well. "Wolf" achieved a very good four first place, which was an unimaginably good result in last year's "MAMA".

The momentum has continued.

Until the release of "Roar", EXO finally soared into the sky.

The sound source of "Roar" was released immediately and has a strong stamina. It seems to be the song with the longest time on the list among all the songs of the boy group. (I didn't check the information carefully, I remember it should be)

[-] winner in [-] song-playing programs, creating a record of one more award-winning male idol group in the peninsula music industry.

'Eu-Reu-Reong Eu-Reu-Reong' is everywhere in the streets and alleys of the whole peninsula. You can definitely hear it in any shopping malls, restaurants, video stores, and even schools. The whole peninsula was the only music scene at that time. .

Here I would like to say that Yuan is really talented. EXO can have the popularity and momentum it is today. Apart from their own hard work and accumulation, the contribution of "Roar" really cannot be ignored.

I won't say what EXO would be like without Yuan, because he is one of XO's members, no one can deny that.

XO dominated most of the primary and middle school student camps, squeezing the living space of other newly debuted boy groups to a minimum.

Every signing event is full of crowds, which is in stark contrast to last year's.

There were also too many people present, which seriously affected the nearby traffic. The organizers worried that too many people would cause dangerous incidents and canceled the signing event. For many artists, it is a strange story.

All kinds of variety shows compete to be invited, as long as EXO shows up, the ratings and topicality can be significantly improved.

At the end of the year, the stages of major TV stations are also necessary, even if you can't make it to the stage, you must record the stage video in advance.

All of this means that EXO has really soared like a rocket, and it has begun to shine like a star in the sky of the peninsula music industry.

Then came the four major award ceremonies at the end of the year.

On November 11, MMA Song of the Year.

On November 11, MAMA's annual album.

On January 1th, the Golden Record, the record department award.

On January 1, Seoul Music Awards, Grand Prize.

Four award ceremonies, four grand prizes, four scenes of members embracing each other.

I don't need to repeat anything, these few pictures are enough to prove everything.

When you can call yourself a top group and first-tier group if you can win one big award, how should you define EXO who has won four awards in a row?

XO’s current glory actually doesn’t need me to say anything, I just want to tell you that it’s really not easy for them to come all the way to where they are today, and every member has put in their own efforts.

Looking back now, last year we never imagined that XO would become like this this year, and even the most optimistic fans would never have expected XO's current glory.

Having said so much, it's almost the same, let's finally put a group photo of all the artists after the Seoul Music Awards.

Has it been more than a year since debuted? EXO, who has not yet passed the rookie period, can stand firmly in the C position among so many seniors present. I was happy and excited when I saw this photo, but I don’t know why tears suddenly fell Come down, it's weird.

XO, please keep standing in the C position, we will always be with you.

we are one! "
