Chapter 260 We Are One(2/3)
"It's okay, I'm just a little tired."
Pei Zhuhyun smiled at her, pondered for a second and then suddenly said: "Seulqi, Jingyuan wants to fuck him..."
But before she was halfway through her words, Pei Zhuxuan stopped on her own. She pursed her lips and thought for a while, but did not continue.
"What's wrong with Jingyuan?" Jiang Seqi interrupted mid-hearing and asked curiously.
"It's okay..."
Pei Zhuxuan smoothed her hair, and the sunny smile bloomed on her face again, looking gentle and bright, as if the person who looked so bad just now was not her at all.
She gently smoothed her hair and pursed her lips naturally: "It's the Seoul Music Awards soon. I'm wondering if Jingyuanxi and the others can win the award this time."
"It's definitely no problem. EXO is so popular right now. They have already won three major awards, and the last one is definitely not a problem." Kang Seulgi is very confident about this group that she is close to.
"That's right." Pei Zhuxuan nodded, then stood up on his own initiative and gave her a toothy smile: "Let's go, let's continue practicing."
"Inside."

"Then it's finally time to hand out the honorary Grand Prize trophy."
"I'm really proud. Wuli Yazhongxi will announce it personally."
On January 23, the nearly three-hour live broadcast of the 23rd Seoul Music Awards came to an end and entered the final stage of awarding the Grand Award trophies.
The organizer selects a Grand Prize winner from among the twelve previous award-winning artists.
Because there is only one Grand Prize slot in the entire award ceremony, its gold content and difficulty in obtaining it are among the best among the four major award ceremonies.
At this time, two award-presenting guests, Kim Kwang-rae, the representative director of "Seoul Sports", and actor Kim Ah-joong were speaking in front of the microphone to deliver the award.
"The grand prize of honor will be announced among the 12 teams in this award."
As the fans below kept shouting the name of their idol group, Jin Yazhong opened the envelope and announced the final winner to the camera:
"Seoul Sports 23rd high1 Seoul Music Awards..."
"The grand prize of honor is... EXO, congratulations!"
Hearing this name, all the fans in the venue suddenly burst into deafening shouts. All the artists in the artist booth stood up and applauded in congratulations, and the exciting BGM also played.
The EXO members sitting at the artist's round table stood up at the same time, took a long breath and showed bright smiles. The twelve people gathered around the round table and hugged each other.
Everyone can hear the breathing and heartbeat of the members next to them, and feel each other's excitement, joy and excitement.
Immediately afterwards, they quickly saluted and thanked the senior artists around them. When Chi Kyung-won passed by the Girls' Generation table next to him, Taeyeon and Sunny took the initiative to lean forward and slapped him hard on the face one after another.
He also smiled happily and seemed very happy for Chi Jingyuan.
Chi Jingyuan smiled and waved to them, and then followed the members, bowing one by one, from the artist's seat to the award podium.
What's interesting is that Jung Eun Ji is one of the MCs at today's awards ceremony. She was standing on the stage wearing a slim red dress and was very conspicuous.
Originally, she had been standing on the edge, smiling at the EXO members who were walking towards him and returning the salutes, but when it was Chi Jingyuan's turn at the end, she narrowed her crescent-shaped smile and grinned, showing her big white teeth.
He took the initiative to take a step forward, stretched out his right hand and shook it.
"congratulations!"
Chi Jingyuan gave her a hearty high-five, and then heard Zheng Endi say something sincere to him.
To be honest, Jung Eun-ji looks really good-looking in her outfit today. The long red skirt and slightly 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 become so thin?
Chi Jingyuan felt that his relative might gain more fans after this award ceremony.
The two nodded and exchanged glances. Chi Jingyuan didn't stop, and took a few steps faster to stand next to the members who had already lined up in a row.
The speech is still the same. EXO, who has won the fourth Grand Prize, is already well versed in it.
Jin Junmyeon first gave a long speech of thanks and emotion, and then the microphone was passed to each person in turn to say something. Finally, when it came to Chi Kyung-won, he first said it in Korean, and then converted it to English and said it again.
The Seoul Music Awards may have a slightly higher gold content than the Golden Disc Awards, but it's actually about the same, but today EXO seems a lot more excited than the Golden Disc Awards a few days ago.
Because winning this grand award means that they have defeated the four major awards ceremonies in the peninsula music industry in 2013. Each award ceremony has the amazing achievement of winning the grand award.
It’s been more than a year since their debut, and they are still a newcomer and they have won 4 major awards. People can’t help but sigh that EXO’s popularity has soared to the sky last year. It is really unstoppable.
After the speech, it was the final encore stage. Chi Jingyuan did not paddle this time and stood at the front of the stage with a microphone, happily singing along to the excited fans below.
In the artist booth below, Shinee and Girls' Generation, as seniors of the same company, stood up to support EXO throughout the whole process, waving and dancing along, showing their family bond very well.
When it was Ji Kyung Won's turn to part, the camera was shown to the Girls' Generation table in the artist booth. Kim Taeyeon looked very happy, and she even stretched out her hands to make a funny expression towards the camera.
By the last chorus, the idols in the artist's seat were all very high under the camera. Apink's table also followed suit and did the signature beating action of the "Roar" choreographer. After doing it, several people burst into laughter.
I don’t know what I’m feeling happy about.
The awards ceremony finally came to an end with "Roar", which I have listened to countless times but still has a very rhythmic feel.
Afterwards, in accordance with the tradition of the Seoul Music Awards, under the arrangement of the organizer, all the artists present took a photo together, and then bowed to each other and said goodbye.
…………
Last night, he had a dinner with the members to celebrate. Chi Jingyuan, who had not been happy for a while, packed up his things the next day and followed Park Jae-hyun, his assistant, and the team specially assigned to him by the company for activities in Xia Kingdom.
At the airport, sitting in the waiting room waiting for the flight.
He is about to start his activities in Xia Kingdom again. SM and mainland cooperative companies have been eagerly looking forward to it for who knows how long.
I heard that they wasted a lot of effort this time and organized Chi Jingyuan to attend several important parties near the Spring Festival. This trip should be more difficult.
At this time, Chi Jingyuan was sitting in the middle of a row of sofas in the waiting room, lazily leaning on the back of the chair, crossing his legs, and scrolling with his mobile phone.
He was originally going to go online to see the comments and reactions on the Internet about EXO winning the Song Awards yesterday.
But when he turned on his phone, he immediately found a fan post that was ranked at the top of their EXO fanclub. This post was also listed in the hot searches of some entertainment forums.
Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but clicked in curiously and looked at it carefully.
"I watched the entire Seoul Music Awards live broadcast yesterday. When I saw the final awards encore stage, with ribbons flying above, fans shouting below, and the twelve members of XO standing on top looking high-spirited, I felt very emotional for a while. I couldn't help but
I went to fanclub and wrote this long review.
I came up with a sentiment at the moment. I thought of XO’s experience from debut to now. I’m sorry for the confusion of whatever comes to mind.
I am a very ordinary fan of EXO (the E is not pronounced), and my family background is not that good. Even when I was frugally trying to boost album sales, I could only buy two or three copies. There is no problem with the activity of competing for rankings.
, but every time the fan base raises funds, they feel a little helpless.
But I’m a pretty old fan, I’ve been a fan since before they debuted. I happened to see Yuan’s debut trailer at that time, and I was immediately struck by Yuan’s smile at the end of the trailer, and I became a fan immediately.
I met him and gradually got to know the whole EXO through him.
Since I am a fan of Yuan, I also like the whole team very much, but I don’t know what kind of rice is this, a combination of Weifan and Tuanfan?
XO really attracted a lot of attention before their debut. SM itself is a big company. The new large-scale boy group they launched after several years has its own popularity. Even before they debuted, they already had a large fan base. There are many people in the group every day.
It’s lively, and new people are coming in continuously, so everything seems to be in good shape.
It's just that such a good situation collapsed immediately after the MV and sound source of the debut song "MAMA" were released. The originally good situation took a sad turn in a short period of time.
Because the title song is really disappointing, whether it's the song style, melody, or costumes, it's the same. Even though I'm a fan, I think this song is average.
I still remember that at that time, the Internet was full of negative comments about XO. In addition to complaining about the unsightly title song and ugly appearance, the fans who complained the most were the seniors of the same company, because XO's debut might occupy the resources of the seniors, causing a sudden
EXO has become the target of public criticism, as if they can't keep up with the trend without scolding them.
It's polite to speak sarcastically, but if you go too far, there are conspiracy theories, father-son theories, and hidden rules. It's really hard for them to come up with so many novel-like plots to blackmail us.
At that time, the company had no intention of criticizing XO and allowed fans to scold XO on the Internet. This is also SM's consistent style and everyone is used to it.
I remember that at that time, apart from fans of groups from the same company, the most criticized people on the Internet were the fans of boy groups B.A.P and NU'EST who debuted at the same time.
The development of idols from these two companies was 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 trolling us online every day, and at the same time, they are benefiting from their idols. They are so proud.
The tone really pissed me off at the time.
But there is no way, the competition between fans will ultimately depend on the strength and performance of idols. At that time, XO was indeed not popular, and we accepted it.
Due to various things, the popularity of the fanclub was cut in half. During that time, there were basically no new people joining the fanclub. People quit every day. It was really sad that the names were blacked out one by one.
Maybe many new fans don't know that XO was really difficult in the few months after their debut. Some of the scenes of XO's activities at that time look really uncomfortable, sad and distressing now.
When Baekhyun held his birthday party in May, a total of more than a dozen people came. The total number of fans was not as many as the members and staff of XO (pictured), but the members were still very happy and enthusiastic with the fans who came to the scene.
There was no embarrassment or dissatisfaction during the interaction.
Sometimes, because they are pressed for time and have little income, the members just sit on the roadside to eat.
EXO-M team's first autograph session, there were two or three big cats and kittens covering the photos with their names, and now you wouldn't believe it was EXO's autograph session.
Team K performed in thin clothes on a very cold day, and you could see obvious breathing when you opened your mouth.
Because I was ridiculed by online groups and not popular enough, I never received any announcements. I finally got a commercial performance, but in the end I couldn't get the performance fee. The organizer gave the members a bag of rice as compensation, but
The EXO members still seemed quite happy, at least it was an announcement that they could show up.
There were really too many scenes like this at that time, and many of them are still fresh in my memory.
To be continued...
