?

Calling so late and with a choked tone, all Chi Jingyuan could think of was that this girl was eliminated from JYP's survival talent show "Sixteen", which determines whether she can debut. After all, she had just supported her some time ago.

The recording of the first episode has already started.

It's just that although Chi Jingyuan knew that Zhou Ziyu had told him about her 'strength improvement' before, and the 'teacher's praise' was due to vanity and wanted to show off her strength, her strength was far from being as strong as she had boasted, but this time

It would be too fast to be eliminated in the first round.

"No, I haven't been eliminated."

Hearing Chi Jingyuan's guess, Zhou Ziyu's self-esteem suddenly flared up, as if she had been guessed and had her tail stepped on, and she immediately said something in an excited tone. However, after she said it with a pinched neck, her confidence suddenly dropped a lot,

The voice also dropped visibly: "It's just a little bit worse."

Then, before Chi Jingyuan asked, she sniffed and took the initiative to tell what happened today in a sticky voice. It probably meant that her stage performance was very poor during today's recording. Not only Park Jinying commented on it

They were very average, and after they came down, they were criticized by the dance teacher in charge of their training.

She was originally in the minor group, but this time not only did she not stand still, she even seemed to have stepped back a lot.

When the girl saw the expressions on her teacher's and Park Jin-young's faces, she felt deeply that there was no hope of her debut. Although she didn't show it in front of others, she was actually feeling sad and lost, and she felt very uncomfortable all night.

"You mean, if PD Park Zhenying hadn't said that because it was the first round, he would give him a chance and not select the eliminated ones, otherwise you would have been eliminated?" After listening, Chi Jingyuan pondered for two seconds and sorted it out.

After reviewing the information I just heard, I asked tentatively.

"Um!"

"Hahaha..." The XO members next to him immediately clapped and booed.

"Hey Yigu, are you already the producer of your own group at such a young age?" Kyuhyun stood up with a shocked expression and walked up to him. He put his hands on Ji Jingyuan's shoulders and pretended to beg: "Next time Yuan xi can

You can’t give our SJ the chance to be a producer for once, you don’t know how envious the members are when they see XO being so popular now!”

Ji Jingyuan laughed twice to express surrender. Kyuhyun sat back after making a joke. Seeing the audience's interest, he asked: "So Yuan Xi, what do you think of being a producer this time?"

Something that impressed you deeply?"

"...show your characteristics to the greatest extent, and be more generous in your words..."

"For team pictorials, it is more important to match the theme and atmosphere. You cannot be too abrupt and stand out in the entire picture. This will actually be a demerit..."

It’s not clear what was said before, but at this time, the EXO members on the screen were all wearing black suits and sitting on high stools above the stage. Chi Jingyuan was speaking with a microphone and seemed to be answering the host’s questions.

Zhou Ziyu just explained it softly without saying much. He sat on the bed and lay down, connected the earphones to his mobile phone, and began to listen to the voice of Chi Jingyuan explaining to him the filming of the pictorial that he had just secretly recorded.

The other members looked at each other one after another, and finally looked at Chi Jingyuan.

Kyuhyun took advantage of the situation and asked, "How did you come up with that?"

"7 years."

"It's been more than ten minutes since it started, and I haven't even seen the opening yet."

And Ming Jingnan, who had just moved in, also cast his gaze over, his dark pupils somewhat profound.

"It's out. The task for the second period is to shoot a pictorial. It should be to see who looks better in the pictorial." Zhou Ziyu seemed to feel from the phone that Chi Jingyuan's mentality was affected by her choice to perform "Beauty Trap",

For a moment, his tone became a little cowardly.

"It must be very cumbersome. Many aspects need to be discussed in meetings, including the concept of the group, the overall style, the time of return, styling, promotion, etc., as well as song selection..."

"This kind of thing must be discussed later..."

After a deep response, Zhou Ziyu said that Chi Jingyuan seemed to hear a nodding sound on the phone, and he didn't know if it was an illusion.

"Well, I understand...thank you."

"Okay, nothing happened. I'm here to scare myself. I was right when I said you were crazy."

"When you were recording today, what stage did you perform on?" Chi Jingyuan completely ignored her emphasis and asked casually after thinking about it.

The footage of the stage during the live broadcast began to shrink to one side on the screen, and a video clip of EXO's showcase held at the Olympic Hall before their debut three years ago began to play.

Maybe these teenagers on the screen at that time, as well as the fans who have followed since their debut, could not have imagined their situation today.

"Does it mean joining the XO debut group, or the time of official debut?" Bian Baekhyun hesitated and asked.

""Beauty Trap"? Whose song? Is it an OST?"

There were such big changes in just one episode of recording, and it was such an important matter related to whether they could debut. These young female trainees, most of whom were only 17 or 18 years old, found it difficult to accept it, and felt sad and lost.

It's inevitable.

But he stopped mid-sentence, and a curious question came to his ears:

"What could you possibly be?"

"Who stole it..." Zhou Ziyu first denied his wording, and then asked with some surprise: "How did you know?"

"Talked a few more words to Mom."

"Hehe..." The corners of her mouth turned up as she listened. After a while, her head was buried in the quilt, and there was a dull but cheerful laughter.

"4 years."

Chi Jingyuan briefly explained, and the Allies below waved their light sticks and screamed in time. He smiled and continued: "Then I wrote a planning report and gave it to Teacher Li Xiuman. We discussed it in several meetings later.

After this, I barely passed."

After the break, Zhou Ziyu went out alone to go to the bathroom. When she came back, she found that there were several dialers in the practice room, holding mobile phones and looking at something together, such as Lin Nalian and Yu Dingyan, a few good friends.

, and the two neon people Najing Minami and Hirai Momo were watching. She got a little closer with some curiosity and heard the discussion in their mouths:

"...It belongs to Cai Yilin."

"More than a hundred songs? It's still a candidate for the title song. Is it that exaggerated?"

"Consider it an official debut."

"5 years."

""Beauty Trap"."

You are such a weirdo, if you don’t eliminate who will you eliminate?

"Ahh..."

Hearing this idiotic question, Chi Jingyuan shook his head helplessly. Seeing that the window in front of him had been opened to the maximum, he stretched out his left hand to blow the air. At the same time, he rested his body on the window edge and looked through the height of the third floor.

Looking at the deserted street outside, he said angrily: "I saw it, I was watching you while you were on the phone."

After the video was played, the live broadcast returned to its original appearance. Kyuhyun felt some complicated emotions in the venue and took the initiative to break the calm: "Unknowingly, XO has grown to this point."

…………

The call was hung up by the other party, and Chi Jingyuan's unhappy thoughts before the call were still echoing in his ears. Zhou Ziyu stood quietly on the balcony looking at the black screen of the phone for a while, and suddenly burst into laughter. Just now

The balcony, which had become quiet and cold because of the choking, seemed to have entered spring, and Shuer became warmer.

Chi Jingyuan thought about it for a while, showing a hint of fear: "The song selection process really gave me a headache. This time XO comes back, there are more than a hundred candidates for the title song alone. We want every song."

Listen carefully many times, and then discuss and judge the marketability and popularity of the song, as well as other related matters such as whether it fits the members' image and album style..."

In the past, EXO was besieged by groups and surrounded by all kinds of ridicule and insults when they debuted, but now EXO has really stood at the top of Kpop after being bullied. Many fans who witnessed this comparison couldn't help but feel a wave of emotion in their hearts.

The epic feeling and sense of achievement of 'the boy who once became a king', and even some sense of the vicissitudes of life.

Three years ago, the faces that looked a little green and ignorant reappeared in everyone's sight, wearing the flashy singing clothes from the "MAMA" era, with their hair combed as exaggeratedly as a broomstick, looking slightly funny.

, but it made countless fans enthusiastic, and a surge of emotions rolled in their chests.

"Then before the comeback with "E" last month, the trailer that aroused widespread discussion among fans and became a trending topic was Yuan's idea?"

"...Show your characteristics to the greatest extent. Just be more generous in your words and show your advantages readily."

What’s interesting is that the three people in Neon Line switched positions. Minami Nai and Momo Hirai, who were originally in the ‘Excellent Group’, went to the ‘Bad Student Group’, while Saka Minatozaki, who originally stayed here, went up.

These edited member clips also form a sharp contrast with the EXO members in suits and leather shoes in the lower left corner of the screen. It is obvious that they are still the same people and have the same faces, but their circumstances and temperaments are very different.

"..." After listening to his words, Zhou Ziyu seemed to be choked, and he heard some rapid breathing. After several seconds, he replied in a dull voice: "Why do you say that?"

The protagonists of the promotion of the web drama became Park Chanyeol and the others. The leading actors talked in front of the audience and tried their best to promote this SM masterpiece that is completely oriented to fans.

"Chinese song?"

And she seemed to be a little worried that Zhou Ziyu would be eliminated before the episode where he could be a guest, so she unknowingly got involved and talked a little too much.

When the call was connected just now, she didn't speak. She was obviously not in a good mood and her tone was a little choked. However, after talking on the phone for a while and being rudely retorted by Chi Jingyuan, Zhou Ziyu seemed to be in a good mood at the moment.

A little louder, the nasal sound that was a little sticky just now also faded away.

Zhou Ziyu pursed her lips and looked attentively.

Following Kyuhyun's question, the fans below also looked over curiously.

"Hehe, lie."

Unexpectedly, after hanging up the phone, I suddenly became much more relaxed. The previous low and uncomfortable mood inexplicably disappeared in my heart, leaving only a small tail.

Chi Jingyuan sneered and suddenly felt a little tired: "So in fact, it's nothing that happened. Maybe there are people who are worse than you on stage. It's just you who scared yourself and held yourself back all night.
