Chapter 261 Another Spring Festival

Chi Jingyuan read the fan's long comment from beginning to end.

Obviously, the full text does not use any rhetorical techniques, and the narration is as straightforward as a diary and a bit messy, but it made him deeply feel the deep and meaningful feelings this fan has for EXO and himself.

Mingming Chi Jingyuan and the others were only doing their part, just completing a job as their idol, but they were able to get so many fans who never gave up and chased and followed without asking for anything in return.

Idol, or entertainer is really a magical profession, although this profession is very tiring, very hard, and the competition is fierce, most of them are not popular and can't make much money, but because of the existence of fans, they are full of people. Intoxicating charm.

Chi Jingyuan liked this post, silently backed out, put the lock screen of the phone into the bag and sat on the sofa for a while.

He didn't bother to read about the reaction after they won the grand prize yesterday, that post had already told him.

It didn't take long for them to get on the waiting flight and fly directly towards Xia Guo.

After several hours of flying, Chi Jingyuan's flight landed at Hangxiao International Airport. Surrounded by a team, he got off the plane with Park Jae-hyun and his assistant behind him.

"The partner company in the mainland has already made preparations for the reception at the airport, and has also booked a hotel. Let's go there to fix it first. After more than an hour, there will be three interviews, followed by a brand endorsement."

Park Jae-hyun briefly told Chi Jingyuan about the itinerary for a while, but Chi Jingyuan didn't make a sound, just nodded to show that he knew.

SM and the cooperation company in the mainland have already made a complete plan. After Chi Jingyuan landed, he will go back to the hotel to rest for a while, and then start working immediately. During his time in Xia Guo, he will basically not waste every minute.

"Do you want to go through the VIP channel?"

Park Jae-hyun asked.

"Is there a fan coming to pick you up?" Chi Jingyuan thought for a while, then looked up at him.

"There must be. Your itinerary has been announced by the company a week ago. With your popularity and enthusiasm here, there must be fans picking you up, and there must be a lot of people coming."

"Since there are a lot of fans here, they are probably just to have a look at me, so let's not go through the VIP channel. I don't really want to disappoint them."

Chi Jingyuan thought about it and made a decision.

"Okay, let me talk to you over there."

Park Jae-hyun nodded, and after communicating with the reception staff, he led Chi Jingyuan and the team towards the outside of the airport.

…………

"No way..."

After more than a month, I came to the mainland again. I wanted to leave a good impression on the fans, so I didn’t go through the VIP channel, but when Chi Jingyuan walked out of the airport with a smile on his face, he was shocked by the scene in front of him. Jumping, the calmness in my heart suddenly turned into a cloud.

At this time, it was completely dark in front of his eyes, and he couldn't count how many people had come. At a glance, the densely packed airport reception crowd had already occupied every corner outside the airport entrance, and they were completely surrounded.

Having already been working for a long time, dozens of hundreds of security personnel at the airport are tremblingly maintaining order, forming a human wall arm in arm, waiting nervously, with sweat dripping from their foreheads.

When they saw Chi Jingyuan coming out from the inside, the whole crowd suddenly fell into madness, and all kinds of voices suddenly sounded like thunder.

Those whose names are called in Xiawen, and those who are called Ouba in Korean.Some shouted Yuan, some shouted Jin Tan, and some screamed unconsciously without expressing it clearly. All kinds of voices gathered together to form a huge sound wave that immediately shocked Chi Jingyuan's eardrums and made him a little deaf.

Chi Jingyuan was really a little frightened. He knew that he was very popular here. He had seen it when he came to the mainland for activities last time, but this time he didn't have such an exaggerated pick-up scene.

Seeing Chi Jingyuan's appearance, the fans who picked him up seemed a little out of control, and the crowd began to keep crowding towards him, making the security guards look a little crumbling.

At this time, the staff in charge of the reception from the mainland partner hurried up to welcome them. After a brief exchange with Park Jae-hyun, the group formed an encirclement circle, tightly guarding Chi Jingyuan inside, and moved outward step by step. .

Chi Jingyuan didn't even dare to do simple interactions like smiling and saying hello to his fans, for fear of stimulating their uncontrollable excitement and causing something bad.

He regretted not taking the VIP passage, but it was too late at this time, he could only squeeze out step by step under the close protection of his manager, assistants and pick-up personnel, and staggered into the car to grow up. He breathed a sigh of relief, feeling like he was reborn.

This level of fan gathering is rare even for Chi Jingyuan, that is to say, there were a few times when EXO held unticketed signings on the peninsula before so many people were present. At that time, it directly blocked the traffic and caused Great response.

"Brother, why are there so many people?"

Chi Jingyuan looked at Park Jae-hyun who squeezed into the car, feeling a little scared but flattered at the same time.

"What do you think?"

Park Jae-hyun glanced at him unhappily, took a breath and tidied up the messy clothes made by the fans, and explained: "You are very popular here because of EXO and "The Heirs". Your previous activities here have also increased a lot of heat."

"In addition, during this period of time, the company has been investing resources in publicity, especially after the news that you had the opportunity to perform at several TV stations' year-end parties spread, it caused a sensation, and then a few more formal media ended up doing something to you. With some positive publicity, it drove the wind direction, and the heat naturally exploded."

"so……"

Chi Jingyuan nodded, leaned back on the chair with a little panting, thought for a while and added: "Although it may not be useful, I should tell the fans through the company so that they don't have to pick up the plane and pay attention to safety at the same time. .”

"It may not be useful, but I will let SM make an announcement."

Park Jae-hyun smiled, nodded in response, and soon the nanny car started, and slowly drove towards the hotel among the congested vehicles.

This airport pick-up lasted less than 10 minutes from Chi Jingyuan's appearance to his departure. In order to meet him, the fans and the airport paid a price.

Afterwards, I learned from the news that many flower pots and decorations at the airport were knocked over and trampled, the glass doors were almost smashed, and some fans were hit on the head when they were crowded and suffered some injuries.

The fans in the mainland are really fanatical, even more than the fans in the peninsula, and the popularity of Chi Jingyuan can also be seen.

After connecting with the partner company in the mainland, Chi Jingyuan started his trip in Xia Guo, various interviews, stands, fan meetings, endorsements, and variety shows one after another, non-stop in the huge area of ​​​​Xia Guo Flying around, there is almost no time to stop.

Almost every event he attends will be surrounded by fans who have heard the news, and the enthusiasm is really enviable.

Having learned the lessons of the previous airport pick-up, the partner companies that are connected to the mainland and the brand side of each event have prepared a large number of security personnel, which can be regarded as eliminating the signs of bad incidents to a certain extent.

Although there are many schedules and basically never stopped, Chi Jingyuan didn't feel tired at all, because he found that the activities here are quite comfortable, there is no stage, and there is no need for special practice. Most of them are interviews, filming and platforms. Activity.

Some brand platforms only need to be present for 15 minutes and smile at the camera, and they can get paid much higher than that of the peninsula.

Compared with the itinerary on the peninsula, it is already considered very easy, and the income is not at the same level.

In addition to these activities, some popular variety shows also continuously sent out invitations to him. After screening by the company, several popular and influential programs were selected to participate in the recording.

"Jing Yuan is our old friend. He was on our show with his members as EXO before, and his popularity was already very hot at that time."

"Yes, that's right. I was really shocked when I saw him. He is so handsome, and his figure and temperament are very good. Really, I really didn't lie. Jing Yuan was still a newcomer at that time. I saw him He knew from the first meeting that he would be popular in the future."

Chi Jingyuan was standing on the stage of a very popular variety show on Shonan TV Station at this time, and was recording the program. The audience below was already full of people who had heard the news, because he was the guest of this episode. There were so many people that at a glance, even the aisles were already filled with Gasai's stools.

And several hosts were changing ways to praise Chi Jingyuan next to them, and their tones were very familiar, as if they had known each other for a long time.

They were right. EXO, who debuted not long ago last year, participated in the recording of this show, but the protagonist of that episode was the EXO-M team, and Chi Jingyuan came to join in the fun. People are just a relationship of saying hello.

Hearing all kinds of flattery coming, Chi Jingyuan showed a shy smile, looking a little embarrassed, this expression caused another scream from below.

"I heard that Xia Wen from Jingyuan is very good. I wonder if it's true?"

The male host blinked his eyes at this moment, and asked some doubts.

Completely knowing the truth, Chi Jingyuan used Xia Wen to communicate with them for a long time in the background just now, and the script was correct for a long time.

But this bridge is very necessary. Being active in the mainland, knowing Xia Wen is really a great advantage, which will make many people have a natural sense of closeness. Chi Jingyuan lived in the mainland for a long time when he was a child, so he It will give the audience a sense of identity.

In fact, the news that he can speak Chinese and lived in the Mainland is not a secret, it has already been exposed, but the news was not widely spread before, that is to say, fans only knew about it, and many passers-by who followed him later were simply Not sure.

But now due to various reasons, the popularity and attention has risen again. In order to let the new fans know him better, now it is just a matter of using this program to carry out a wave of publicity.

"It should be true."

Under the camera's follow-up, Chi Jingyuan blinked, and said something clearly into the microphone, very standard Mandarin, and many people below who heard the news for the first time exclaimed.

"Oh, that's great, it's really a standard Xia Wen."

"I feel like what I said is better than what we said. When we speak Xia Wen, we still bring a little dialect, but Jing Yuan's pronunciation doesn't have these at all. It feels like a local."

The two hosts next to each other exclaimed at the right time, covering their mouths with surprise, looking a little exaggerated.

To be honest, Chi Jingyuan is not very used to the way they do the show, but if he goes to the country to do as the Romans does, of course he will be very cooperative and participate in it.

"Is it only listening and talking?"

The male host asked again.

"Reading and writing are no problem."

Chi Jingyuan shook his head, explained while popularizing science: "I lived in Xia Guo for many years when I was a child, and I only left when I was in junior high school."

"Really? Wow, it turns out that Jing Yuan studied here? This is the first time I know!"

The exaggerated tone of the hostess made Chi Jingyuan almost feel that she just found out.

"Did the audience know the news at the scene?" She also raised the microphone and asked the audience loudly.

"Yes!" The audience gave a tidy response and gave them face.

"Then Jing Yuan has lived in the mainland for so long, what is the most impressive thing about us?" The host asked a question that many viewers are very interested in.

"Um……"

Chi Jingyuan pondered for a while, as if he was organizing his words, and then said with a serious expression: "When it comes to impressive, I think it should be food and culture."

Hearing the delicious food, there was a burst of laughter from below.

"I really don't have much to say about the food. There are too many delicious foods here in Xiaguo. After I transferred to another school, I was not used to eating for a long time. Later, every time I went to a new place, I would go there to be more famous. Try a Chinese restaurant, hoping to eat authentic Xia Guo cuisine, and find the feeling of childhood."

Holding the microphone, Chi Jingyuan smiled and talked about his thoughts. A clear look of reminiscence flashed in his eyes, and many people watching couldn't help showing kind and somewhat complacent smiles.

"What about the cultural aspect?" The host cheered at the right time.

"This aspect is a bit difficult to express..."

Chi Jingyuan pursed his lips, as if he was a little stumped, and after thinking about it for two seconds, he continued: "I think this is an inexplicable feeling, everything here, including basic necessities of life, reflects a It is a unique and long-standing culture, and when you are in this land, you will clearly feel that you are very small, and you will feel that you still have a lot to learn.”

"applaud…………"

After Chi Jingyuan's voice fell, there was a neat and enthusiastic applause from below.

Chi Jingyuan didn't flatter him directly, but instead expressed his seemingly real experience, but many people really liked this. Under his words, a sense of pride arose spontaneously, and he felt relieved at the same time. There is another layer of recognition for the person in front of him.

"Since Jing Yuan knows Xia Guo culture so well, and Xia Wen speaks so well, do you know the ancient poems of our country?"

Several hosts also applauded, and then moved on to the next topic.

"Of course I understand, I can recite a lot of ancient poems." Chi Jingyuan smiled and said something confidently.

"Really? Then which one is your favorite?" Several hosts showed expressions of disbelief, but the audience was also aroused interest in this topic.

"I like it so much, I really can't tell." Chi Jingyuan held the microphone for a long time, and then gave a wry smile.

"This answer is too cunning! No, let's limit it and just talk about ancient poems about scenery. Which line does Jing Yuan like the most?"

"Um……"

He raised his eyes and thought for a while, then smiled at the camera: "In terms of scenery... I like two sentences more. At that time, the bright moon was there, and it once returned under the colorful clouds."

"There is also the "Preface to the Pavilion of the King of Teng" 'The sunset and the lonely bird fly together, and the autumn water is the same color as the sky.' These two sentences."

"Oh……"

When Chi Jingyuan recited two lines of ancient poems in a straight voice, there was a burst of admiration from below.

Originally, there were still some audience members who didn't believe what he just said, but when they heard Chi Jingyuan read the two poems in Xia Wen without any hindrance, they couldn't help nodding.

This kid really wasn't bragging.

"Jing Yuan actually knows the "Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng"? This article is very difficult to memorize, and it is really difficult to understand. For example, A Tao, I know he will not memorize it."

The host exclaimed, then pointed to another male host next to him, and gave him an example.

The host who was called immediately put on a bitter face and nodded embarrassingly.

"Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng is okay, it's not too difficult."

Chi Jingyuan blinked, as if he didn't understand the surprise of the host, and his tone was a bit puzzled: "It's in the high school Chinese textbook, I learned it by myself at the time."

"Self-taught..."

Several hosts looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a while, and after a long silence, they couldn't help laughing with the audience.

…………

"Jing Yuan, I saw your performance just now. The typhoon is amazing. You don't show any timidity on such a big stage. You are indeed my brother."

"Did Noona watch it too?"

"Of course, but I only watched the part where you appeared."

Hearing what the elder sister said, Chi Jingyuan smiled a little embarrassedly. He would not feel any nervousness when performing in front of the audience and fans, but he unconsciously felt a little awkward on stage in front of his family.

Today is January 1, in the early morning, the traditional Lunar Thirty in the cultural circle of Xia Kingdom.

That’s not right, it’s the first day of junior high school after midnight.
Chi Jingyuan's performance has been completed, and he just came out of the venue of the New Year's Eve party to return to the hotel to rest. At this time, he was using his mobile phone in the nanny's car to make a video with his elder sister Chi Xianjing.

Originally, he was on the phone, but he and his eldest sister hadn't seen each other for a while, so he turned on the video at his sister's request. Chi Jingyuan was very happy to see his eldest sister whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

This year's New Year's Eve, he didn't go home but was on a schedule. To be honest, he was really not used to it. When he told his second brother that he would not go back today for the New Year, he was complained and complained by the other party.

Chi Xianjing obviously misses her favorite younger brother very much. A strong woman who is usually unsmiling in front of outsiders pulls him to talk and chatters for a long time.

"By the way, your second brother told me that your university's final exam results were very poor. What's going on?"

While chatting, the elder sister brought up a topic that Chi Jingyuan didn't want to bring up at all.

"I……"

Facing the second brother's talkativeness, Chi Jingyuan rolled his eyes speechlessly, and he began to explain somewhat awkwardly:
"Nuna, my final final exam scores were not bad, and I have already met the standard. But the overall evaluation of the school assessment also needs to consider the usual total grades throughout the year, what kind of class participation, group activities and other things are all calculated and counted. Inside, you know, how can I usually have time to do those things..."

Chi Jingyuan's tone was very innocent, with an expression of 'I really tried my best, but there is a problem with the school's grading standards'.

"Oh? You have time to hang out with girls, you have time to spend the night at our property, and you don't have time to go to school?"

The eldest sister on the phone looked at Chi Jingyuan with a smile, but what he said made him speechless.

He used his ass to figure out how the elder sister knew about his relationship, and he was really speechless.

No, you, Chi Jingxu, who is an older brother, have such a broken mouth.

"Hahaha……"

Seeing the expression on her brother's face when he touched something dirty, Chi Xianjing smiled happily. The way his brother was deflated looked really funny.

After laughing, Chi Xianjing waved her hand: "It's okay, the nature of your profession is like this, your second brother at the school will communicate, there is no problem...By the way, when can you go home?"

"After the party is over, I remember that I don't have any plans. It should be just these two days." Chi Jingyuan thought for a while and replied.

"Okay, let's talk about it when you come back."

"Well, goodbye Nuna, by the way, happy new year."

"Guild, Wuli Jingyuan is really sensible, happy new year."

Smiling and waving goodbye to the elder sister, after turning off the video, Chi Jingyuan saw a few congratulatory text messages sent by his friends, he clicked on them for a while, and then replied one by one.

This year's Spring Festival EXO did not have a holiday like last year, but continued to run the schedule.

The peninsula itself does not pay as much attention to the Spring Festival as Xia Guo. It is just one of the more important festivals, and it is normal not to have a holiday. In addition, EXO is very popular now, and the invitations will be more and more around this time.

At this time, the other members of EXO should be bending over. They are going to participate in TTV's Superstar Red and White Arts Awards today. This is a New Year's Eve party over there.

A few days ago, when communicating with manager Lee Seung-hwan, according to him, TTV invited the entire EXO to perform and gave a very good reward.

However, as the number one in the team's popularity gap, and because "The Heirs" has become popular in Asia, Chi Jingyuan couldn't come due to schedule conflicts, which made the organizer very dissatisfied. He communicated with SM several times and hoped that Chi Jingyuan Yuan was able to spare time to attend this gala, even if he could increase the performance fee, he could discuss it, but he was rejected by SM after considering it, which made the other party very unhappy.

There is also "Idol Games", which is scheduled to be played yesterday and today, that is, on January 1th and 30st, for the Chinese New Year special. Chi Jingyuan and EXO were also invited to participate.

Chi Jingyuan himself is one of the highlights of "Occasionally Games". Many people are very interested in his archery project. Every time he appears on the stage, the ratings of this variety show are the highest in recent episodes. With the blessing of Shang Jintan's popularity, the "Occasionally Games" program team has long hoped that Chi Jingyuan in this episode can help them reach another peak in ratings.

It's a pity that the recording time of this Chinese New Year special happened to be the day when Chi Jingyuan flew from the peninsula to Xiaguo. SM company attaches great importance to Xiaguo's itinerary. They were all rejected by the company.

Other members of EXO participated in the recording, but I heard from Jin Junmian two days ago that without Ji Jingyuan, their men's team archery competition did not even pass the first round of the preliminaries. It's really a pity that I won three consecutive archery championships in the "Games".

However, this is also the true level of archery of other XO members. In the previous two episodes, Chi Jingyuan brought them to a height that they did not belong to.

Before I knew it, it was the Spring Festival of another year. Chi Jingyuan sat in the back row of the nanny's car by the window, rolled down the window halfway, looked at the lively street scene outside, and felt the cold wind blowing past. The wind, Liu Hai'er was blown up messily in front of her forehead, and she felt a little emotional for a while.

He remembered that it snowed during the Spring Festival last year. At this time, he seemed to be taking a walk in the garden at home, and chatting with his sister from Girls’ Generation.

Time flies really fast enough...

…………

Chi Jingyuan is still a little optimistic. The promise he made to his elder sister to go home in these two days may have to be postponed.

After New Year's Eve, the events he participated in some time ago, the influence of the variety show broadcast, and the effect of the party made his enthusiasm skyrocket. Various itinerary invitations were flying all over the sky, and the asking prices were exaggerated one by one, almost knocking SM out. passed.

In the face of huge benefits, after discussing with this side, SM temporarily changed the plan, delayed Chi Jingyuan's return time, and took a lot of itineraries, each of which was carefully selected, and the cost was extremely high. A generous invitation.

Although Chi Jingyuan was a little dissatisfied, he didn't say anything.

His income in Xia Country does not need to be shared with XO members, and the share with the company is much higher than that in the peninsula. Although he is not short of money, he does not feel that he has too much money.

And the fans here are really too enthusiastic, which made him a little bit unbearable. He was flattered, and he would feel a little guilty if he didn't show his face in return.

After a delay of one week, he officially ended his half-month trip in Xia Country.

Originally, SM was a bit reluctant, but one reason was that JYP pressed him very hard, and the cooperation between him and Suzy Bae was about to begin.

The second reason is that Chi Jingyuan has really enjoyed a good time here these days, which has caused some people's dissatisfaction. After all, he is a foreigner who grabs food, so he just accepts it when he sees it.

Also, EXO's comeback project has been started for a while, the preparation of the new album really cannot do without Ji Jingyuan, he needs to participate in many things.

After the decision was made, Chi Jingyuan got on the plane on the morning of February 2 and returned to the peninsula with the team.
