Chapter 292 I'm His Fan

"Have we got one?"

Chi Jingyuan was lying on the small sofa next to the box, crossing his legs and playing the game console, and asked Wu Shixun who was not far away without squinting.

At this time, the twelve members of EXO who had just finished rehearsing at the concert venue were all in a large box that Kim Junmyeon had reserved in a nearby hotel.

Today is the birthday of team leader Jin Junmyeon, taking advantage of this day to have a meal together can not only celebrate, but also allow all members to get together and relax, which is the best of both worlds.

Originally, he planned to let all the members go to his home as guests, which would work best.His home happened to be in Jiangnan District, and he also had his own apartment near the company.

It's just that there is not enough time for dinner and rest at night. After dinner, they have to go back to the venue to continue rehearsing, so they simply gave up, but they also made an appointment to go directly to his house to play at the next party.

He looked really hospitable.

Chi Jingyuan remembered that Jin Junmian once mentioned that his parents are both professors and teachers at the school, and his relatives are still in business. Li often treats guests from time to time, and he doesn’t pay much attention to money. Looking at the fact that he bought his own apartment in Gangnam before his debut, his family conditions should be very good, and he ranks among the top among EXO.

This time his birthday company didn't hold any birthday party or anything like that, because it happened that the next day was the first concert, and they planned to celebrate and wish a little bit in front of all the audience at that time.

Although a day late, the atmosphere and meaning are definitely extraordinary.

Before the food was served, the members sat casually in the private room, chatting in twos and threes while playing with their mobile phones,
"You don't know how to read it yourself, so you still have to ask about this kind of thing?"

Wu Shixun glanced at him, saw Chi Jingyuan playing the game console seriously, without even looking at him, broke a few words in displeasure, swiped his index finger on the phone screen a few times, and nodded: "Take it, Today's "m!c" we are one, it's no surprise... one candidate is us and apink."

"apink? Didn't they say that they will stop playing songs at the end of last week?"

Chi Jingyuan laughed when he heard this.

I heard Zheng En said that apink should not participate in the song competition this week, but because of EXO's concert this week, basically they can't participate in all the song competition programs and cannot be present, and the final score will definitely drop.

I don't know if it's because the company of apink thinks that there is still hope to win a few places in this situation, which caused the delay of playing songs for another week.

"What's the score?" He asked curiously.

"9906 vs. 4729."

"Isn't this double killing?"

Smiling happily, Chi Jingyuan's hands that manipulated the game trembled.He suddenly felt a little regretful that he wasn't there, otherwise he could have seen Zheng Eundi's expression at that time.

After 2 minutes, Wu Shixun suddenly raised his head and said, "By the way, I'll show you a video, it's very interesting."

"Where is it?" Just as Chi Jingyuan finished fighting the boss, he saved and exited, put away the game console, took out his phone from his pocket, and looked at him curiously.

"It's posted in the group, see for yourself."

"Which group?"

"That group of our K team."

"Let me see..." Chi Jingyuan nodded, opened the chat software kakao, clicked into the group of EXO-K team, and started watching.

Before their EXO debut, the team leader Kim Jun-myeon created several chat groups, including K team, M team, and everyone's group together, etc. As for whether there are small group groups in private, I don't know.

The 12-person group was a little deserted after the team activities, but their K team’s own group was quite active. Park Chanyeol and Oh Se-hoon liked to fill it with water when they were free, and Chi Jingyuan was also willing to echo a few words from time to time. interesting.

And Jin Zhongren, who doesn't talk much in his daily life, has inexplicably become more talkative in the group, and likes to post some pictures to show his sense of existence.

In the group, instead of using their original names, they all changed their IDs to the same format, which is their surname plus the syllable after their stage name. Jin Zhongren is called Jin Kai, and Wu Shixun is called Wuhun.

Chi Jingyuan is Chi Yuan.

When he entered the group chat, he saw Wu Hun posting a video link titled BTS Kris being interviewed, Chi Jingyuan's eyes lit up and he clicked on it.

The video started to play, and Wu Saike was standing in front of billboards with many logos, which seemed to be recording some interview activities, and a reporter was asking questions with a microphone bearing the logo of Xia Guo's famous website.

It is an interview in Chinese dialogue, but it has been transferred to the Peninsula website and has been subtitled.

"BTS' activities in Xiaguo have gained a lot of popularity during this period, and there was news that fans were crowded because of the activities a few days ago. How does Kris feel about your achievements during this period?"

"Well, first of all, I really want to thank the fans for their support."

Facing the microphone stretched out in front of his mouth, Wu Saike thought for a while, and then began to reply with a sincere expression and a sunny face: "It's a great honor that they like our music, and we will definitely continue to work hard to live up to all fans' respect for us. expectations."

Very standard official answer, nothing unexpected.

Chi Jingyuan leaned there and watched the video, secretly commenting in his heart.

After the reporter asked a few more questions, the interesting thing came.

"Before BTS, EXO has targeted the mainland market since its debut and achieved great success. Now it has a very high reputation in the whole of Asia. Now it is the boy group with the best development in our side. Now, what do you think of this group of seniors who made their way into the summer?"

Although BTS has performed well in Xiaguo in the past few months, and has gained a lot of popularity and its own fan base, but compared to EXO, it is still inferior by more than one or two, whether it is popularity or fan base. very far.

They are all boy groups from the peninsula, and Xia Guo’s fans are not blind and deaf. EXO and BTS are not at the same level in the peninsula. After entering the summer, you can meet EXO everywhere, and they hang over them like a shadow.

And the ingredient content of their combination handsome guy is indeed slightly lower.

The purpose of the reporter asking this question is, of course, hoping to hear Wu say something nice to please XO fans, and create a good relationship between BTS and EXO, which will not only gain a lot of goodwill, but also attract some fans to climb the wall .

"Um……"

Wu Saike frowned slightly, and nodded lightly: "Whether EXO is in the peninsula or in the mainland, they are our predecessors. Their successful activities have also set an example for us. Their stage and songs are really great. I also try to learn from them in some ways."

After he finished speaking, he breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had relieved some burden.

"You guys should know each other in the peninsula, right?"

"Yes, yes."

"Are you familiar?"

"...It's pretty familiar."

He nodded, his smile seemed a little stiff.

"Yuan, a popular member in EXO, are you familiar?"

"... Let's be familiar."

The way he looked at the host was slightly wrong.

"Then what do you think of him? Did you communicate with him when you were on the peninsula?"

"…………"

Wu Saike glanced at the host with inexplicable eyes, then lowered his head and pondered for a long time, the corners of his mouth and brows twitched a few times as if he was struggling in his heart, and after a while he raised his head to face the camera, showing a feeling of deep emotion smile:

"EXO's Senior Yuan has always been a senior I admire very much. We had friendly exchanges when we were on the peninsula. He conveyed to me some experience in activities, which benefited me a lot."

I don't know if it's an illusion, but the reporter felt that he touched his teeth a little too much when he was speaking.

"Senior Yuan has achieved very good results as a boy group and as an actor, and pointed out a good route for us, and we have learned a lot from it..."

He paused, his face was a little stiff:

"I am his meal..."

"Hahahaha..." Chi Jingyuan couldn't hold back his laughter before he finished watching it, especially seeing Wu Saike's last stiff expression and eyes, and the words he said through gritting his teeth really hit the spot His laughing point, collapsed on the sofa and laughed non-stop.

He guessed that Wu Du wanted to put the microphone into the host's mouth.

It's really not easy being an artist.

In the end, many people could see Wu's expression. Some viewers left comments under the video and thought it was a bit strange, asking if there was something hidden.

"It seems that their activities in Xia Guo are going well, are they very popular?"

After reading the comments below, Chi Jingyuan asked with interest.

"It's not bad, I heard it's pretty good." Wu Shixun nodded, but added with a calm smile: "Of course it's still much worse than us."

After saying a few words, the door of the box was knocked, the waiter began to serve the food, and the members all went to the table to sit in their seats again, took a few authentication photos and sent them to the manager, and then the evening began Captain birthday party.

Because it was a happy day, everyone was very supportive, and the long-lost private dinner with 12 people was completed lively.

…………

On May 23, at the Seoul Olympic Gymnastics Arena, the staff in the venue that had already been erected were still busy, finalizing the specific conditions of the lighting, sound, elevators, high platforms, hanging baskets and other devices and facilities, so as to avoid Something unexpected happened in EXO's first solo concert since coming out soon.

And the members are also rehearsing their positions and procedures at the end. Although they have rehearsed countless times from beginning to end during this period, it can be said that they are familiar with every link. A little anxious, several members were a little panicked at this time, their hands trembled slightly, they couldn't help shaking their legs, and sweat couldn't stop flowing on their foreheads.

Although I have participated in many SMtown family concerts before, at that time EXO was just one of the participants, a supporting role, but now it is their real solo concert, everyone is the real protagonist here, so they can’t help being nervous .

"Jing Yuan is really a thief, because he is afraid of heights, he doesn't have to go on the hanging basket. Thinking about it, I think it's unfair." At this time, Do Kyungsoo said something to make fun of, and eased the somewhat anxious atmosphere.

There was a segment in the concert, Team M performed on the stage, and the six members of Team K would sit in a gondola and go around the venue to interact with fans, and Chi Jingyuan felt dizzy after sitting in and went up Was given the privilege of not having to sit in a gondola.

"Yeah, I also said that if you feel dizzy, can you stop sitting?"

"Is this hanging basket strong? When I was rehearsing before, I always felt like it was going to fall at any time."

Seeming to have found a point to vent, several members around complained one after another, while Chi Jingyuan smiled and let them vent their criticism.

He could tell that the members were a little impatient, and so was he himself.

"All the kids from XO come over and make a final confirmation."

At this time, the PD of the concert shouted not far away, and several staff members next to him were talking about something, and several managers of XO were also there.

"Okay here we come!"

Everyone walked over quickly, formed a circle, and listened carefully to the explanations of the director and other scene managers, and it took about ten minutes before it was considered done.

"OK, that's about it. We've been preparing for today's concert for a long, long time. Don't be too nervous, just follow the rehearsal."

After the director and staff left, Lee Seung-hwan smiled and encouraged the members: "Go back to the stage first, your family members are already here, and the people from the company are entertaining you right now. After chatting with them, we will Go get some make-up, the audience will start entering soon."

"Understood bro." After talking to Lee Seung-hwan, the XO members returned to the backstage under the leadership of their assistants, and within two steps, they saw the family members of the members gathered at the door of their lounge.

Because this concert is of great significance to XO, the company notified in advance and invited all members' families to watch the first concert on the 23rd.

The peninsula is a country with many children, and most of the people are not only children. At this moment, many parents and brothers came together, and surrounded the backstage corridor tightly. After seeing the members coming back, they were immediately excited Get up, and quickly wave and call your child's name.

Of course, not all the parents of all the members were present, except for a very few local members who couldn't come this time because their relatives couldn't spare the time, the family members of the three Xia Kingdom lines didn't come.

It is said that it is because it is inconvenient to go abroad to the peninsula, but SM has also made other preparations, inviting them to EXO's first concert in Xiaguo to witness the growth of their children.

It can be regarded as caring.

But compared to the warm reunion with other family members at this time, the few members of Xiaguo Line, as well as the one or two members whose relatives were not present for some reason, can't help but look a bit bleak now. After bowing and saluting to other people's parents I walked into the lounge and hugged to keep warm.

Chi Jingyuan also saw his second brother. He smiled and saluted the elders of the members next to him, and walked over there slowly.

Chi Jingxu stood at the edge of the crowd, at the corner of the backstage corridor, without an assistant by his side at this time, and a middle-aged man who seemed to be a senior executive of SM was standing next to him, talking about something, but the director saw Chi Jing When Yuan came over, he smiled and nodded his head to say hello, and then left in a very witty manner.

"Why, the big star is not happy to see me?" The second brother tilted his head and looked at Chi Jingyuan with a smile.

"That's not true, the mood is actually quite good."

Chi Jingyuan also laughed, and stood beside him and licked his lips.

"Then I guess you'll be disappointed. I won't be able to stay long for an important meeting. I guess I can watch the opening at most."

Chi Jingxu blinked at him, as if you don't want to be too happy.

"That's it...that's just right."

Chi Jingyuan chuckled and shrugged his shoulders, making him even happier.

He didn't know if the second brother was really busy, or if he saw that he was a bit awkward performing in front of his family, so he did it specially.

But it doesn't matter, I'm happy to be here.

The two brothers stood there and chatted, from the concert to schoolwork, and then to relationships, and Chi Jingyuan became impatient and switched to other topics.

"Why did you learn your driver's license? The car that sent you has been parked there. Don't you think it's troublesome when you call Park Jae-hyun to drive you for a date every day?" The second brother squinted at him with a disgusted expression.

"Trouble... Actually, there is a little bit. I want to learn too, so let's finish my work in the past few days."

Chi Jingyuan was a little helpless. He actually wanted to get his driver's license after he became an adult, but he didn't have time to catch up with the return period.

After a pause, he looked over and said, "What kind of car did you buy again? I can't even drive the ones I gave away before, they are too eye-catching."

"Don't worry, considering your career as an artist, this time the gifts are all more common models, absolutely no problem."

Chi Jingxu patted his younger brother on the shoulder, saying that everything is under control and he has considered everything.

After chatting for a while, an assistant shouted from over there:
"Children, it's time to touch up your makeup, get ready for the opening!"

"understood."

Chi Jingyuan responded, then turned to look at his second brother: "Then I'll go first."

Chi Jingxu nodded his chin at him with a smile:

"Go, big star."

………………

"Why are so many people sitting there wearing raincoats?"

Zhou Ziyu, Kong Xue and another friend were queuing up to enter the arena. At this time, she saw the crowd sitting around the fence and asked a question in doubt.

At this time, people in red raincoats were neatly sitting near the fence, forming several phalanxes, the number of people was too large to count, and there were a few staff members standing beside them to maintain order.

It has been raining lightly in Seoul for the past few days, stopping now and then, and the whole ground is soaked wet.

"Those are fans who haven't bought concert tickets and really want to see XO perform."

Kong Xue also took a look, and explained clearly: "This time XO tickets are too few and they are sold out too fast. Considering their number of fans, it is not enough at all. Those who don't have tickets can only experience it in this way. Take a look at the atmosphere of the concert and support your idol at the same time."

"But there are too many people outside..."

"This is XO's first concert. Do you think it's some other idol? If it wasn't for Tzuyu, we would have sat there with them... Hurry up and get in, there are more and more people."

The three friends marched slowly in the line with banners and fluorescent sticks. After waiting for a long time, they finally entered the venue. The drizzle kept them out, and the slightly noisy environment made them feel as if they had entered another world.

Walk forward slowly along the prompts until you reach an area very close to the central stage and finally find their location.

"Wow, this is the front row of the infield. This position is too good. It is indeed an internal ticket." Kong Xue saw the stage that was close at hand and could be climbed with a single hand, and the stage that was clearly visible not far away. The huge screen made her feel excited. She has come to the peninsula to watch many concerts, but she has never sat in such a good seat.

Zhou Ziyu was wearing a hat, and looked around curiously. Seeing such a good location, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed, but he was also quite happy in his heart. After a few glances, he sat upright in his seat, While chatting with friends next to me, I looked in the direction of the stage and waited for the concert to open.

A few rows behind the three of them, Nai Minami and Hirai Momo also found a place to sit down and let out a long breath. After such a long queue, it was still sticky and sticky with light rain falling outside. Can sit down and catch my breath.

"It's still not close enough to the stage..." Mingjing Nan sat down and looked at the distance between himself and the stage and the big screen, and said a little dissatisfied.

Although they are also in a very good position in the infield, belonging to the front row with a good view, they are still a few meters away from the stage.

What Mingjing Nan wanted in his heart was the closest advanced row, the feeling that he could touch the people on the stage as soon as he stretched out his hand, the feeling of being so close that he could see it when he looked up.

"It would be great to get a ticket for this match. The requirements are so high... Our seats are already very good, and we can see so clearly."

Momo Hirai opened the mineral water and took a sip, then said angrily: "It's not enough to just have money to buy a ticket, the front row seats are rare and they are robbed as soon as you come out, unless you know SM or EXO's insiders to find them." The relationship gets the vote."

"I know you!" Minami turned her head and blinked, pouted slightly, pretending to be cute.

"But I don't know you." Hirai Momo didn't like her, she glanced at her and puffed her cheeks.

If it was changed to Minozaki Saka, I would probably hug it and stick it.

"..." Hearing that Ming Jing Nan pouted softly in a bit of shock, buried her head for a few seconds, then raised her head and stretched out her hands to brush her hair to cheer herself up. She would not be hurt by such a small attack .

"It's a pity that Sana-chan can't come." She looked at the vacant seats around and gradually filled up with people, and said with some regret.

"She went to Thailand to shoot the MV for the title song of the seniors of Got7. I don't know how happy she is. Do you think that everyone likes XO as much as you do and must come to the concert... Ah, that's not right, what Mina-chan likes is ..."

Momo Hirai snorted softly and said, with a sour taste in her voice, she was obviously envious, and her tone became narrower as she spoke, and she looked at Mina Nai with some teasing, but she didn't take it seriously under the direct gaze of the other party. That's it.

"Tch, it's obviously true, but I don't like people saying it..."

Can't help complaining in his heart, Momo Hirai pursed his lips, and finally waved his hand: "And we only got two tickets, and there is no place to sit when we come."

"That's right... sana-chan was able to shoot the MV for the title song of GOT7 seniors, and was selected into the debut group of 6MIX. She should be able to debut soon..."

Mingjing Nan nodded and said softly, chewing in his heart, feeling a little astringent for some reason.

Not enough. She pursed her lips and buried it in her heart, then looked back at the side: "The seats are almost full, it should start soon."

"Come on, the time is almost up."

…………

Seeing that the time was about to reach the hour, all the [-] spectators in the venue turned on the fluorescent lights in their hands. At the same time, the ceiling lights of the venue gradually dimmed, and in the pitch-black and deep venue without lights, only countless stars could be seen. Shaking fluorescent sticks, the light spots stretched, undulating and fluctuating, converging into a moving silvery white ocean.

The red atmosphere lights on the stage turned on, and the sound in the venue immediately became much noisier. As the hour hand pointed to 12, the sound made a loud bang, realizing that the concert was about to start, and all the fans shouted loudly.

The big screen was lit up, and several drummers in classical costumes under the fluorescent light were beating the big drum vigorously. The drum surface was the labyrinth logo of EXO's second mini-album this time.

When the drum beat got faster and faster, and reached the highest point, it stopped abruptly. At the same time, the opening VCR of the concert began to play on the big screen.

Twelve members appeared one after another on the screen. They kept running in the harsh environment of special effects production, some in the ice and snow, some in the mountains that were about to collapse, and some were trapped in the huge in the maze.

Even so, everyone was still running in one direction, and no obstacle could slow them down.

Accompanied by the passionate and majestic BGM, I don't know how many planes have been crossed, how many walls blocking the road have been smashed, the twelve teenagers who control super powers finally meet together, leap into the air and penetrate The curtain of time, the big screen also made a shattering special effect at the same time.

And the elevator on the main stage has been slowly raised up, and the twelve members stood there quietly in the dim light.As if through time and space, I broke the screen and came here.

Seeing the protagonist appear on the stage, all the audience in the venue immediately began to shout excitedly. The deafening sound swept through all the corners of the vicinity like a tsunami. Even the crowd waiting outside could clearly hear the eardrum-stinging cheers.

At this time, the entire Olympic gymnastics arena has fallen into a carnival.

The lights gradually turned on, changing from dark red to hazy yellow, and the twelve members of EXO walked forward slowly. At the same time, the sacred and majestic, surging but mysterious music suddenly sounded.

"mama", this is the first song of their concert, and it is also their debut song:
“careless careless shoot anonymous anonymous.”

"heartless mindless no one who cares about me."
