Chapter 266 Grass Terrace(1/2)
On the 16th, all members of Twice got up early in the morning and made various preparations for today's AAA.
Although AAA is held for the first time this year, and the value of the awards has not yet been recognized, the publicity stunts and guest lineup are not inferior to those of the usual year-end awards ceremonies. It is really like that, and this is what Twice
This is the first large-scale awards ceremony that I have participated in since the popularity of this year. My manager has previously hinted that I will win one or two relatively important awards, so everyone is looking forward to it and is full of energy.
Moreover, today is the first time everyone has met EXO and Chi Jingyuan after the Ming Jingnan love affair. After learning that Chi Jingyuan and Ming Jingnan are dating, many people's perceptions of him suddenly changed.
At the same time, this was also the first time they watched one of their members share the stage with the love interests of other boy groups. Thinking of that scene, many people had a strange feeling.
I just finished styling in the basement of my dormitory. After a lot of careful preparation and arriving at the scene, I spent a long time looking backstage. EXO saw it, but they didn't see Chi Jingyuan.
"Onie..."
Back in the lounge, Sun Caiying came to Mingjingnan in confusion and asked: "Why don't you see Jingyuan Oppa?"
Several people nearby were also very curious and looked over after hearing this.
Especially Zhou Ziyu, she has been sulking and has lost contact with Chi Jingyuan these days, so she doesn’t know...
"Yuan-chan...he has something to do and has to go to school today."
Although Minami was embarrassed to be under the gaze of so many teammates, it felt good to not have to be secretive anymore after her love affair was made public within the team.
And my girlfriend is worthy of being a girlfriend. She is indeed very clear about Chi Jingyuan's movements. After hesitating for a while, she said in a small voice that could hardly be heard unless she got closer: "So I have to come later, maybe I have to wait until the ceremony.
I took a break in between.”
"Going to school?"
Minazaki Saka blinked.
"Well, he has been busy with graduation matters in the past few months. He often goes to school recently and has planned a lot of schedules for this purpose."
"Oh, I remembered, Jingyuan Oppa seems to be in his graduation year..."
Sun Caiying nodded clearly, and then smacked her lips with envy: "Tsk tsk, Yonsei University, tsk tsk, Kyungwon Oppa is really awesome, I don't know how he got into it..."
In the industry, the academic qualifications of idol artists are generally low. Although some people have academic qualifications, they are seriously lacking in gold content. Ji Kyung-won, a real non-entertainment major Yonsei University graduate, is already very admirable.
.
"Is his school very good?" Momo Hirai, who had never known it before, asked, tilting her head.
Hearing this, Sun Chaeyoung's eyes widened, and she explained righteously: "Of course it's great. Yonsei University is one of the best schools in our country. Just like your neon... uh, what's going on..."
…………
"Are you still stuck?"
In the nanny's car, Chi Jingyuan raised his head and looked at the heavy traffic in front of him.
Cui Zhichang, the assistant driving the car, nodded and felt the steering wheel to estimate: "Well, I guess we will be stuck in traffic for a while."
After finishing his work at school, Chi Jingyuan rushed to the AAA venue by car without any delay. According to the estimated distance, he should be able to arrive during the intermission after the first half of the award ceremony.
But halfway through, he realized that he was a little naive. The bustling roads in Seoul were still so congested at night. They had been stuck at this intersection for almost ten minutes.
"Fine……"
The corners of Chi Jingyuan's mouth twitched, and he shook his head. He was not in a hurry, and took his mobile phone to reply to a text message that Ming Jingnan had just sent.
There is no point in being anxious at this time. Anyway, I have been vaccinated with my manager before, and in order to cope with this situation, including him, he is very skilled at performing all EXO songs on the eight-person stage.
If the organizer and the company hadn't wanted him to show his face, he actually wouldn't have wanted to go...
After sending the text message, he casually browsed the news on the Internet. When he logged in to the homepage and took a quick look, he saw many drafts about "The Legend of the Blue Sea".
In the past two days, SBS's new drama "The Legend of the Blue Sea" has been promoted a lot. Various stills and interviews with actors can be seen everywhere. It can be seen that the organizer and the TV station have invested considerable resources in pre-heating.
However, this drama is indeed very strong. The main actors Jun Ji-hyun and Lee Min-ho are very strong, especially the editor Park Ji-eun. This is her first script after the hit drama "My Love from the Star" became popular in Asia in 2014, and it has been highly praised.
The expectations are predictable.
This drama is one of the TV dramas that has been aired in recent times, and it has the best promotion, writer's status, and cast.
The first episode of this drama will be officially aired today, and Chi Jingyuan's "Ghost" is scheduled to be released on the 2nd of next month. The two dramas are only half a month apart, and they can be said to be complete direct competitors.
Interestingly, the last work of "Goblin" writer Kim Eun-sook, "Descendants of the Sun", was also popular in Asia. Even if the person involved did not mean that, interested people and audiences would naturally compare the two together.
Therefore, in the past two days, the crew of "Goblin" did not give in and released a lot of stills. The beautiful background in the photos, as well as Ji Jingyuan's windbreaker style and Bae Suzy's pure beauty became a hot topic as soon as they were exposed.
The topic remains highly discussed.
Even before the official broadcast, the two dramas have already begun to compete openly or covertly in various places.
After browsing the news for a while, the traffic jam finally started to move. At the same time, Chi Jingyuan checked the time and saw that it was already the time for AAA's live broadcast tonight, so he entered the V APP and watched the live broadcast...
After just watching for a while, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but frown, shook his head and sighed.
Right up front was the stage for this year's monster newcomer Blackpink, who performed the hit song "Playing with Fire", but regardless of whether the microphone was turned on or not, the sound equipment sounded very average, and I don't know if it was arranged by the organizer.
The problem is that the performance has started on the stage, but the guests below have not yet taken their seats. There are people walking around all the time. It looks extremely chaotic, and few people are paying attention to the performance above.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It's... quite disrespectful.
As the car gradually accelerated and the award ceremony gradually progressed, Chi Jingyuan became more and more speechless as he watched.
The venue for the first AAA was also very ordinary. Kyung Hee University’s Peace Hall was chosen... Although the Peace Hall is not a small venue, it is also the regular venue for the Baeksang Arts Awards every year.
However, this kind of auditorium-like venue is really not very suitable for holding this kind of Kpop-related awards, because the stage is very small and cannot be used, and the seats under the stage are set up like listening to reports at a conference, which seems a bit too serious.
, there is no lively atmosphere of cheering at all.
The Kpop stage requires cooperation with the support of fans to show its greatest charm. The two complement each other.
Especially the awards ceremony is also very stupid. The organizer set up a turntable in the middle of the stage. All the winners stood on the turntable at first. After the winners were announced, they slowly turned from the back to the front. This was the part where they were unveiled.
It's really tacky and embarrassing, and the ten seconds it took to turn around were like a public execution.
Chi Jingyuan couldn't imagine if he were up there. When he slowly turned around, it was really hard to decide whether he should smile or make a sullen face.
Seeing Wu Shixun and his group swinging around on the turntable, with their usually handsome poses now looking particularly funny, Chi Jingyuan was really glad that he didn't arrive on time.
In addition to this, there is another point that is very unpleasant...or rather helpless.
AAA is not only a Kpop awards ceremony, but also has many awards for actors, so many actors were also invited to the scene, and these actors were arranged at the front and middle area of the auditorium, probably to highlight the
The guest lineup is so strong that the director often gives them close-up shots of their reaciton.
But in the general concept of the peninsula, compared to idols or comedians, the social status of actors is higher... Even many amateur actors have received a lot of glory, so in many close-ups, some actors react
There was no expression at all, and some didn't even bother to applaud. They kept a straight face the whole time, as if they were already giving face just by sitting there... Even some idols turned actors were like this.
Although the combined ratings of the dramas performed by these idiots may not be as good as Chi Jingyuan's, and their earnings are even less than his, they still have such an inexplicable sense of superiority.
Although they may not dare to look down on Chi Jingyuan... but from the perspective of an idol, Chi Jingyuan actually felt quite unhappy when he saw this scene.
Of course, there are also many actors who are very respectable, especially people like Yoona sunbae. Whenever the camera cuts to it, they are all smiles and applauding non-stop!
After watching for half an hour, Chi Jingyuan was really desperate for this first-ever AAA. Whether it was the lighting, equipment, atmosphere, stage arrangement, or overall effect, it was nothing compared to large award ceremonies such as MMA and MAMA.
Derby.
And the most important award presentation is even more interesting. There are two to three winners for each award. It’s like wholesale for free, just come and get it!
However, the energy and reputation of the organizer are really great, and the guests invited are all very important. The most popular boy and girl groups EXO and Twice on the idol side are here, and the actors are even more impressive. This year
Starring actors from several popular dramas such as "Signal", "Doctors", "Descendants of the Sun", "Moonlight Drawn by Clouds", etc. were present. Several acquaintances of Ji Kyung-won were also present, such as Park Shin-hye, Kim Ji-won... and Bae
Show wisdom.
It's just that although the number of guests is not small, it cannot change the fact that the entire ceremony is a grass-roots team.
If an award ceremony is held like this, the awards will naturally have little value.
Forget it, let’s join in the fun...
…………
AAA had already reached the 40-minute mark of the second half. Twice, who had been preparing for a long time, walked out of the lounge at the greeting of the stewards. It would be their performance time soon, and now they had to go to the front desk to prepare for the performance.
Just a few steps out of the lounge, they met a group of Seventeen people who had just come off the stage with their faces full of clothes and sweat on their faces.
"nang~plop!"
As a boy and girl group that debuted in the same year, they often met on TV stations when they returned at the same time. The two groups are quite familiar with each other. Lin Nayeon and Yoo Jung-yeon made lively gestures and covered the performance they just performed on the Seventeen stage.
song, the sociable Saka Minatozaki smiled and said hello, and Twice and others stopped and chatted briefly.
However, Nai Minami didn't come forward. She said hello with a smile and stood aside. Then she pursed her lips and looked around in the direction of the EXO lounge next to them... The EXO lounge next to where they are now happens to be.
, she had already figured it out clearly when she came to rehearsal in the morning.
In the text message just now, my boyfriend said that the traffic jam is very serious, and I don’t know if it is coming now.
Zhou Ziyu was in no mood even more. She leaned against the wall and looked at her white shoes, not knowing what she was thinking.
At this moment, there was a sudden movement not far away.
"ah!"
"What are you guys doing here?"
"I just went to the bathroom...you still knew to come?"
To be continued...
