Chapter 853 Haha
Chapter 853 Haha
Almost an hour after the award ceremony started, under the guidance of the venue staff, Chi Jingyuan followed the members out of the backstage and came to the front row of the Peace Hall to prepare to take a seat. It was just at this time that Twice's performance was about to begin. At this time, the big screen was playing a VCR. Chi Jingyuan saw the nine girls who had posed for the opening on the dark stage...
The arrival of EXO, especially the appearance of Ji Jingyuan, immediately attracted a lot of people's attention. As he walked along, several familiar people greeted him.
EXO was arranged in the second row of seats on the right. As soon as Ji Jingyuan sat down, several familiar faces in front of him on the left, such as Zhao Zhenxiong, Yoona senior, and Park Shin Hye, turned their heads and waved at him with a smile, looking very familiar with him.
Especially in the first row, Park Shin Hye, who was closest to her, turned around and waved while smiling brightly. She also made an unclear lip shape in the air. Such enthusiastic treatment and contrast made Chi Jingyuan feel quite emotional for a moment.
...Because in the first half of the live broadcast that he watched, this sister was one of the actors and guests in the audience who had no reaction to the idols' performances. Basically, she had no expression on any of the idols' performances, especially the Blackpink stage at the beginning, where the director gave her a close-up. However, this sister was too lazy to react at all. She looked a little impatient, with a dark face, and she maintained the high profile of a popular actress very well.
But now that I see it…I can only say that people are indeed different.
After a polite greeting, Chi Jingyuan finally sat firmly in his seat. At this time, Twice's performance on the stage had already begun. The music of "Cheer Up" resounded throughout the venue, and the eight energetic girls and a captain also began their performances.
I have to say that Twice's makeup today was really outstanding. It feels like JYP's Cody has made great progress since their comeback with "TT". It may also be that they are really suitable for this style of styling... and from Ji Kyung-won's perspective, the best-looking ones today happen to be Nami and Chou Tzu-yu... and at most Lim Nayeon.
This black person is quite annoying, but he is really good at acting cute and adorable.
The second row was very close to the stage, and Chi Jingyuan could see the situation on the stage very clearly. He felt that after the performance began, several girls would occasionally glance in his direction, and he didn't know what they were looking at.
There was also Ming Jingnan. After she finished singing her part and walked from the C position to the edge of the team, she looked in the direction of her boyfriend while doing her movements. Then she was caught by Chi Jingyuan's sight on the spot. When their eyes met, Chi Jingyuan clearly saw that her expression tightened and she seemed to be trying to hold back a smile. Then she instantly controlled her expression, showed a bright smile and continued to move around.
Chi Jingyuan's expression remained unchanged, but he felt a little itchy in his heart... This kind of little romance between boyfriends and girlfriends on and off the stage is really addictive.
After watching the stage for a while, Ji Jingyuan seemed to remember something and turned his head to secretly glance in the direction of Park Shin Hye in front of him on the left.
Sure enough, this sister's face darkened again, and she crossed her arms and looked at the passionate Twice with a blank expression throughout the whole process... Seeing this, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but have a strange thought - if this sister knew that his girlfriend was on the stage, would she give him a smile and cheer for him or something...
Probably so...
After Ji Jingyuan came on stage and sat down, a VJ with a camera immediately ran over and filmed him. After a while, his close-up appeared on the big screen. With the screams of fans in the audience, there were obviously more shots of EXO.
However, Chi Jingyuan did not make any special expressions. He just sat there, cheering when necessary and applauding when necessary. Anyway, he gave a full reaction.
After watching for a while, it was their turn to go on stage to receive the award.
"2016AAA, Best Artist...XO, and Twice!"
Following the host's loud announcement, Ji Jingyuan quickly stood up with the other members, clapping with a smile on his face, waited for a few seconds, and then followed Twice onto the stage, but he couldn't help but complain in his heart.
…It’s really a makeshift troupe; the Best Artist award can only be given to two people.
Fortunately, they walked up directly from the audience seats. If they had stood on the turntable and slowly turned around like in the first half, or turned around with Mingjing Nan and the others, he would have been really embarrassed.
The two groups EXO and Twice stood in a row on the stage. The two winners didn't know who would speak first and who would speak later. After two seconds, Twice took a few steps forward under the guidance of the host, walked to the microphone and began to give their acceptance speeches.
Chi Jingyuan was watching from behind, and with a quick glance he saw nine hip skirts and nine pairs of white legs, some thick and some thin. Well, the thickest one was Chou Tzuyu's, and the thinnest should be Yu Jeongyeon.
Don’t say the most beautiful thing... Tsk, it’s really hard to choose.
Chi Jingyuan kept a smile on his face, but his thoughts were unconsciously wandering.
Come to think of it, this seemed to be the first time that he and Ming Jingnan and the others received an award on the same stage. Thinking of the past, he suddenly felt the change of time deeply.
When EXO first debuted, they were surrounded by Girls' Generation, 2NE1, Kara, and FX, and in between they went through Apink, AOA, and Girlsday.
And now, it has become Twice.
It feels like girl groups come and go, but they are the only ones standing.
...However, with Twice's current momentum, they will probably be the ones receiving awards next to EXO in the next few years.
"Ariado..."
Soon he came back to his senses when he heard Japanese. Mingjing Nan was standing in front of the microphone and speaking his acceptance speech fluently in Japanese.
The International Brigade is troublesome. People have to be replaced several times just to give a speech.
Ming Jingnan may not give thank-you speeches very often, and she looks a little shy. As she speaks, she habitually puts her hands together and shakes them left and right in front of her body... This is her signature move when she is nervous and shy.
After Ming Jingnan, Zhou Ziyu stood over and began to speak in her sweet, slanted accent and Chinese:
"I am really grateful to all the fans who like us... Thank you for your support and encouragement, which enabled us to receive such a great award. We will continue to work hard to thank everyone for their efforts for us."
The girl did not look depressed like she did when they met backstage before. She expressed her gratitude very solemnly with delicate makeup on. Others might not be able to hear it, but Chi Jingyuan could hear the sincerity and caution in her slightly nervous tone.
In the last second, she was still the little brat in his stereotype, but now, she has become a qualified idol.
It can be seen that the members of Twice are very happy at this moment. Lin Nayeon has been swaying up and down for a while... If you don’t count the value, the Best Artist award presented by AAA at this time seems to be the first heavyweight award that Twcie has won since its popularity this year. It is understandable that these young idols who have just started out and have never won an award are so excited.
Unfortunately, this award really has no gold content, and it is completely incomparable to the grand prizes of the other four major award ceremonies at the end of the year...
Just look at EXO's side. After Twice finished speaking, it was their turn. Unlike Twice who spoke a lot of things solemnly and nervously, all EXO members gave up the middle seats to the captain Kim Junmyeon, who stood loosely to the side without any intention of giving any speech.
As the language expert, Chi Jingyuan took the initiative to stand in the back row of the team, feeling the gazes from behind him and listening to Kim Junmyeon's dull speech with boredom.
This is the difference!
To be honest, Chi Jingyuan really wanted to look back...
……
The Best Artist award was the second to last award. After EXO and Twice received it, it was the final grand prize. The film and television award was given to one of the male protagonists of "Signal", Jo Jin-woong, while the singer award went to EXO again. Less than ten minutes after he stepped off the stage, Ji Kyung-won stood up again with his members.
After all the awards were presented, it was EXO's turn to perform on stage, which was also the final segment of AAA today.
"You can call me monster!"
The explosive music of "Monster" resounded throughout the stage. Chi Jingyuan, dressed in casual clothes, a baseball cap and black-framed glasses, was extremely conspicuous on the stage. Although the members around him were all wearing exquisite makeup and black stage costumes with reflective sequins, both the audience and the artist guests could not help but lock their eyes on him.
...Is this how you perform on stage?
Many people couldn't help but ask themselves questions when they saw his out-of-place outfit.
However, compared to the previous idols' performances, the atmosphere in EXO's stage became noticeably more lively at the end. It was not because of the fans' noticeably louder screams, but because many of the previously extremely aloof actors in the audience suddenly let go of their pride and started cheering.
Not to mention the already extremely enthusiastic Lim Yoona, Park Bo Gum, Kim Yoo Jung and others, Park Shin Hye, who had a sullen face almost the entire time before, also broke with her usual habit and kept clapping and cheering, nodding her head along with the melody, looking like she really liked the song and the stage. When the director gave a close-up, she even waved at the camera with a smile on her face, giving a full reaction.
If Jennie Kim or those people from Blackpink saw this, they would probably think she had a different personality.
Even Zhao Zhenxiong, who had the biggest status, smiled and clapped along with the rhythm. His eyes and expression were completely different from before.
Chi Jingyuan certainly knew why these people changed their minds. These friends and acquaintances were clearly giving him face.
Seeing this scene, to be honest, he was actually quite moved.
Although there are still many actors who remain aloof and annoying, at least the overall performance is a world apart from before.
…………
Although the award ceremony is over, it does not mean that everyone will leave immediately. Many artists who came in formal wear have to change clothes, some people have to go to the bathroom, and some award-winning idols will take pictures and post them on Instagram, or take photos with people they are familiar with. In a hurry, the entire backstage seems very chaotic.
At this time, in the corridor backstage near the bathroom, Ji Jingyuan and Bae Suzy were standing opposite each other.
Bae Suzy also came to AAA today and sat with Yoona and the others, but Ji Kyung-won came later, and other than an occasional eye contact, he had no chance to communicate with her the entire time.
...She also won the 'Best Star Award' today for the crappy drama 'Uncontrollably Fond'...This shows how ridiculous the awards at this ceremony are. I don't know how she had the nerve to accept the award together with Park Bo Gum from 'Moonlight Drawn by Clouds'.
But even though the award was funny, the person was still beautiful. Although the low-cut dress she wore before was a little mismatched, Bae Suzy was really suitable for this light-faced and scheming look with short hair. She even slightly outshined senior Yoona at that night.
But Chi Jingyuan really didn't communicate with her in advance. They just happened to meet backstage and chatted with each other.
"Dancing practice? By the way, how are your solo preparations going?"
He glanced at Bae Suzy, who had changed from a light-colored long dress to a beige turtleneck sweater, and asked curiously after hearing her words.
Bae Suzy had already established a solo plan to release a personal album a long time ago, and had mentioned it to Ji Jingyuan... But Ji Jingyuan felt that since she had successfully transformed into an actress, she was most likely just doing it for fun, and he didn't have much expectations for her singing skills, so he didn't take it too seriously before.
However, seeing her recently insisting on practicing dancing despite being so tired from filming, it seems that she is not just playing around, but is taking it very seriously.
"I've almost prepared everything. I'll go to Hong Kong Island in a few days to shoot the cover and MV." Bae Suzy didn't even look at him. She stroked her hair and her tone sounded calm, which was a little different from her usual seductive look.
After thinking about it, Chi Jingyuan complained first, but after realizing that he had made a mistake, he still tried to make amends by saying, "Speaking of which, I haven't heard your solo song yet. You didn't even let me listen to the demo before. Maybe I can give you some advice..."
"Didn't I tell you?"
Pei Xiuzhi interrupted him directly, and at the same time glanced at Chi Jingyuan sarcastically, and then seemed to remember something, curled her lips, her eyes were playful, but her tone was obviously a bit aggressive: "And you still have time to care about these things of mine? Didn't you get a new girlfriend recently? Why didn't you inform me in advance so that I could give you a red envelope or something."
"Forehead……"
Chi Jingyuan was stunned when he heard this, but he understood it instantly.
He said that he felt that the woman's attitude was a little strange and her words were a little harsh. It turned out that she also knew about Ming Jingnan's affairs...
It goes without saying that she knew it through the channels at JYP. As the top female star in the company for so many years, her connections are no joke. Maybe Park Jin Young told her in person... No, why is this guy so talkative?
However, Chi Jingyuan was somewhat surprised by her attitude, and he couldn't understand why she was unhappy...it was obvious that she had always been like this before.
"You mean Xiaonan? ... You wouldn't do such a thing... would you?"
The corner of Chi Jingyuan's mouth twitched, and he asked in a strange low voice.
Bae Suzy looked at Chi Jingyuan with some resentment.
Although she had always been in a very special and detached attitude before, she seemed to be indifferent whether Chi Jingyuan had a girlfriend or not.
But she has been by his side for several years after all, and she has expressed her feelings several times, both explicitly and covertly. If Ji Jingyuan and Bae Zhuxuan were in a relationship before, it would be fine, and she certainly wouldn't interfere and make Ji Jingyuan angry. But you broke up with her, and you didn't even consider her at all, and turned around and got together with that Sakura girl.
Why, I can't compare to that flat-chested, buck-toothed Sakura girl? Do you have good taste? Or have you experienced so much that you like to eat vegetarian food now?
Bae Suzy was really a little angry after knowing about Ji Jingyuan and Ming Jingnan. First, she felt that she was ignored, and second, she felt that she was outdone by Ming Jingnan.
That's why she didn't treat Chi Jingyuan well today... She also has a temper!
...But she might not be as angry as she appears to be, and she might not be that angry about Chi Jingyuan having a girlfriend, but a smart woman will always find every opportunity to express her position and emphasize her existence in a legitimate way.
"Konan? Calling her so affectionately? That Sakura girl is really resourceful~"
Bae Suzy savored the nickname and couldn't help but laugh: "I could tell at the time that she was young but thoughtful. She asked for my phone number when we first met, and she specially chose a sexy song for "Sixteen". That look made me sick... The relationship has really succeeded now. Tsk tsk, the younger generation nowadays really can't be underestimated."
Women understand women best. Some of the charms in the eyes of men are disgusting and scheming in the eyes of competitors. Bae Suzy had a bad impression of Ming Jingnan since the first time they met, and she even found fault with Ming Jingnan before...
She really didn't expect that she would lose to this Japanese girl who she didn't take seriously at all and didn't even look at at the time.
Originally, she was just unhappy and not that angry...but when she thought about this, she couldn't help but get angrier and angrier.
"Don't worry about my solo for now..."
As she was speaking, Bae Suzy looked forward and her voice suddenly became playful: "You should take care of your own affairs first..."
At this time, four or five people from Twcie just turned in from the corner in front, and Ming Jingnan happened to be in the crowd.
Maybe because they had just won an award, they seemed to be in a good mood and were chatting about something in a heated atmosphere. However, as soon as they turned around, they saw Bae Suzy not far in front of them, and Ji Kyung-won next to her.
The others were fine and didn't have any other associations, but Naito Minami and Minatozaki Sana paused for a moment. The former looked over here in surprise, and the latter looked at the former.
Seeing his girlfriend appear, Chi Jingyuan's mouth twitched secretly. Just as he was about to say hello, he saw Bae Suzy next to him walking over without even waiting.
"Suzy, Anihasayo..."
Yu Jeongyeon and a few others obviously knew Bae Suzy, and seemed to be quite familiar with her. They greeted her with a smile.
Pei Xiuzhi smiled very stylishly, nodded to them intimately, exchanged a few words casually, and then looked at Ming Jingnan who pursed her lips and said nothing, her eyes lit up hypocritically: "Ai Yigu, Mina xi qingjia a puda..."
She praised Ming Jingnan's beauty in a very sincere tone, and the people around her seemed a little envious.
But she followed up with another sentence as if nothing had happened: "Jingyuan praised you to me several times just now..."
After saying that, she patted Ming Jingnan's shoulder affectionately, then said goodbye to Twice and the others, and turned and left without even looking at Chi Jingyuan.
If it was the first compliment, the other members wouldn't notice it, and instead thought that Suzy was a really nice person.
But after hearing the latter sentence, especially seeing that Ming Jingnan's face seemed a little strange, even Yu Jeongyeon and the others who didn't know the whole story realized that something seemed wrong, and even their smiles faded a little.
Apart from Minatozaki Sana, only Naito Minami, who had experienced it personally, knew best how deep the malice held by that dead woman was.
Just as she disliked Bae Suzy the first time she met her, she also disliked Bae Suzy the first time she met her...
It’s just that she and Yuan-chan…
Thinking of what Bae Suzy had just said, and the involuntarily recollected relationship between the two, Ming Jingnan's face darkened and he felt a little confused, feeling that he was indeed disgusted.
Maybe they had something else to do, so the Twice members did not stay. Yu Jeongyeon and the others said hello to Ji Kyung-won and left quickly. Ming Jingnan, who followed behind, was obviously worried. She pursed her lips and looked at her boyfriend. After hesitating for a moment, she forced a gentle smile and passed by without saying anything.
Minatozaki Sana pouted and glanced at Chi Jingyuan, gave him a small wink, and hurriedly followed.
Chi Jingyuan looked at his girlfriend whose expression obviously changed, and opened his mouth to say something, but it was obviously not the right occasion, so he could only frown, looking as if he wanted to say something but stopped, and watched them leave.
Just as he was watching the backs of Twice members disappearing in front of him, Chi Jingyuan suddenly shuddered. He inexplicably felt that someone was watching him, and quickly turned around and glanced left and right.
Then he saw a figure standing in the direction of the bathroom, who seemed to have just come out of it. He was looking at him while quietly moving to the side.
The women's restroom is very close to here but there is a corner between them so the view is blocked. He hadn't noticed it just now, but now a figure suddenly appeared.
And he knew this person...it was Kim Ji-won, with whom he had worked before.
I don't know how long she stood at the other side of the corner. It would have been okay if she had seen the awkward atmosphere between him and Twice, but it would have been a bit overwhelming if she had heard his conversation with Bae Suzy.
Chi Jingyuan was not worried that she would leak it, but even he felt a little embarrassed that such a private matter was seen by others on the spot.
This sister seemed to realize that she seemed to have pried into other people's privacy, and she felt a little flustered. Judging from her light footsteps, she was about to sneak away, but she didn't expect that halfway through the walk, Chi Jingyuan suddenly turned around and looked at her.
The two people's eyes met and their movements froze at the same time, making the situation temporarily quite awkward.
They looked at each other, and in less than a second, Jin Zhiyuan's eyes wandered away. Perhaps she was caught on the spot, and her embarrassed cheeks and ears began to turn slightly red at a speed visible to the naked eye. She smiled awkwardly at Chi Jingyuan in extreme embarrassment:
"Hehehe..."
"Jingyuanxi...haha, you seem...haha, you seem to be in some trouble."
