In the girl group battles in the past two weeks, every time Ji Kyung-yuan won first place in front of sistar, AOA, and SNSD on "Music Bank", I actually felt a little funny in my heart. I wanted to laugh. Such people are so passionate about competition.

, it feels really interesting that the last one is myself.

Unfortunately, I don’t know how long the popularity of “Boy with Luv” can last.

"In other words, you are busy every day?"

Chi Jingyuan sent a text message back to Zhou Ziyu.

He had nothing to do at the moment but was waiting for the autograph signing to begin. He had been listening to music, shaking his legs, and sending text messages for a while.

As he expected, Zhou Ziyu had signed a contract with JYP a few days ago. According to her, all nine Twice people selected for "Sixteen" had signed the contract without exception.

It's normal. After all, everyone has been working hard for so long, and they have even won the debut spot through competition. They are one step away from realizing their dreams. No one will not sign a contract at this time and waste all their efforts, even if it does seem a bit harsh.

.

Now, including Zhou Ziyu, the nine members of Twice have begun preparations for their debut. They are working hard and studying every day for the final debut.

"Yes, I have to go to school every morning. When I come back, I have to practice the songs from my debut album and learn a lot of things that artists need to know. Because I am a foreigner, I have to take Korean classes, and I have to do more

, I still want it every day!”

She replied quickly, and the long string of text showed a slightly irritable mood and small complaints, but Chi Jingyuan also felt a strong sense of fulfillment and strong expectations for the official debut of the flavor.

The same was true before EXO's debut. Compared to Zhou Ziyu, Chi Jingyuan had a period of devilish attack because of her poor dance foundation. She was even more exhausted every day. But even so, she was still very energetic every day. After all, she only had one more day left before her debut.

The last step is both painful and happy.

Now, it's Zhou Ziyu's turn to enjoy this process.

"We also moved into a new dormitory. What kind of dormitory do you think it is?"

She seemed to have nothing to do at the moment and replied quickly. Before Chi Jingyuan could speak, she sent another one.

"What kind? The one used by the "Sixteen" major group?"

Chi Jingyuan made a reasonable guess. The two groups of "Sixteen" have their own dormitories. It is normal for the debut group's house to be directly extended to Twice.

"It would be great if it was the one used by the major group! We thought the same way before, and we were looking forward to it for several days. It turned out that our dormitory was the same one on the first floor that the 'poor student group' used to use. It was old and old. I heard

It was used by a senior in the past. After sorting it out, we moved in. It is much smaller than the dormitory of the major group in terms of area and decoration, but it just has an extra basement..."

"So stingy?"

Ji Jingyuan also didn’t expect JYP to be so prudent.

But when I just debuted, I really shouldn’t use a good dormitory as a house. It’s not conducive to hard work. Bae Zhuhyun said that the dormitory in red velvetJB district was very average. XO also lived in Jiangbei at the beginning. The dormitory was small and old, and nine people lived there.

It’s so chaotic. It was only after DaBao became a top group that they moved into the big house this year. Now XO’s dormitory is one of the top among the entire Peninsula idol groups in terms of area, decoration and supporting facilities.

.

Moreover, JYP has not had much money in the past two years, and it is normal to save as much as possible.

"Yeah, a lot of people privately say that the company is stingy, hehe... But after living here for a few days, it's fine once you get used to it. By the way, we've reassigned the dormitory, guess who I share a room with now?

Ha, I share a room with Dahyun and Chaeyoung now, the three of us need to go to school, and we are the youngest maknae line!"

"Both of them have very good personalities, and luckily the three people in our room love cleanliness and will take the initiative to clean, unlike others..."

After signing the contract, I entered a state of preparation for debut, practiced new songs, moved into a new dormitory, had new roommates, and formed a new group with eight people who were familiar, unfamiliar, or even unfamiliar to each other. All the experiences during this period

Zhou Ziyu is obviously very excited and has a great desire to talk. Compared with the "Sixteen" competition in the past few months, she is obviously much more lively.

"When will you guys debut?" Chi Jingyuan asked curiously.

"It's not confirmed yet. The company said it will depend on the progress of our preparations. It seems that it should be around October... I heard them say that the company will find a time period where the competition is less competitive and there are no major artists coming back.

Arrange for our debut."

This should indeed be the case. Even though the group Twice has its own popularity due to the draft, they are still newcomers with a small and not very loyal fan base. If they find a time period with less competition, they will indeed have a higher chance of success.

But in October...

"That……"

Chi Jingyuan felt inexplicably familiar when he saw this time. He paused and was about to say something more when Li Chenghuan came over and stopped him. He handed over a stack of documents and said generally: "This is for today's autograph session.

Jingyuan, you, as the translator and host, will go through the general process and script again."

"Oh, okay brother."

Chi Jingyuan immediately took the file and responded. Since he came to work, he had no time to chat. He put his phone aside and read it seriously.

…

"We are one, hello everyone, we are EXO."

"Hello everyone, I'm Yuan from XO... I heard it, I heard it, ah, it's so enthusiastic, thank you, thank you... Thank you very much for taking time out of your busy schedule to come to our book signing. In today's session, just

I will be the host and translator, so everyone should know that I speak Chinese very well...haha."

Chi Jingyuan held the microphone and smiled brightly, and spoke the opening remarks of this autograph session in extremely fluent Mandarin. Almost every sentence was followed by a burst of cheers.

"We have actually always wanted to have more activities such as book signings here in the Mainland, so that we can meet more fans... I am really, really happy today... I just knew backstage that so many people came today.

, the members are quite nervous..."

"..."

In addition to the highlight of the autograph session at the end of the autograph session, there is also an interactive session between the idols and the fans present, including chatting, playing small games, and sometimes singing and dancing to liven up the atmosphere.

, fans will be happy as long as they are happy.

Compared with the final autograph signing, the previous part is actually very important. Many fans who came to the scene came just to interact with their idols up close.

Because of his popularity in the mainland and his proficiency in Chinese, SM directly asked Chi Jingyuan to be the host and translator for the two autograph sessions held here.

This decision is obviously very wise, as you can see from the excitement and fiery atmosphere of the fans below.

In addition to hosting, he also has to translate some of the words spoken by the members.

"Brother Jun Mian said that Xia Guo's fans are so enthusiastic that he doesn't even know how to thank him... How about letting him act like a spoiled brat? Do you want to see it?"

After listening to what Jin Junmian said, Chi Jingyuan modified it a little and translated it. Then he added some words of jealousy behind him, and then followed the fans in the audience, laughing at Jin Junmian who was acting awkwardly and cutely.

.

"Um?"

“…the food here is really great, I really like eating here…um…um,”

At this time, Bian Baekhyun next to him said a few words in Korean. Chi Jingyuan immediately came over and listened, but he got stuck in the middle of speaking. He couldn't hold back the next word, and Chi Jingyuan based on the context

and breakfast, and immediately followed the trend: "Doupi?"

"Yes, Doupi, I like eating this very much..."

After he said it again, Chi Jingyuan laughed, turned around and faced downwards and understood the word "doupi". The curious fans translated:

"Brother Baekhyun said he likes it very much. There are so many delicious foods here in Jiangcheng, and he especially likes to eat three fresh bean curds... This is what we ate this morning."

After finishing the translation, Chi Jingyuan put his hand to his mouth, with a mysterious look, deliberately lowered his voice and asked for credit: "I recommended it to them."

"Ahhhh..."

This statement was obviously very endearing, and all the fans in the audience screamed with excitement.

After chatting, we played a few small games. Finally, Chi Jingyuan sang two lines of a Chinese song under the cheers of some fans. Finally, the book signing officially started in an excellent atmosphere.

After the two book signings, there were two concerts. On the 18th and 19th, at Tianjing Mastercard Center, nearly 20,000 people attended the venue for two consecutive days.

Whether it’s the disgusting scalping tickets that have been sold at sky-high prices, or the widespread discussion and attention caused in the mainland Kpop circle, as well as the many online complaints about SM’s choice of venues that are too small, all of them show that among idol groups nowadays, EXO

It is still uniquely popular and well-known in the mainland.

Although there are so many groups and fans in the music industry who brag about their overseas popularity every day, they can really hold a tour with 20,000 people in Xia Country without worrying about not being able to sell out the tickets and the venues are sold out. Now that is

EXO and BigBang, other groups are weaker than these two.

After finishing the concert, EXO returned to Seoul the next day. Before getting off the plane, they were pulled into the company's conference room for a meeting.

Facing the important itinerary that their manager introduced to them just now, Chi Jingyuan and several members were a little surprised and repeated it

"live streaming?"
