Chapter 1217 Didn’t I tell you
“Very bad!”
Momo Hirai raised her fist and roared as she spoke, and her confident tone made it seem as if she had brainwashed herself after just a few words.
Even Mingjing Nan, who had just finished crying and had red eyes, was amused.
And Minatozaki Sana opened her mouth, paused for a moment but did not say anything, just shook her head gently.
If it was the previous song "Summer in Osaka", she listened to it once and felt that she didn't like it very much. If Momo Hirai said that the performance of that song was not good, she would agree.
But this song "Fireworks"... although it's hard to say due to the presence of Minami Nagai, she knows it in her heart... as an Osaka girl who yearns for romance, she loves this song to death.
Although her feelings and stance may have unconsciously brought in some subjective factors, she felt that the performance of this song would not be bad.
…It’s just that these words are not suitable to be said now.
The three of them walked back. Momo Hirai was still chattering beside them. Although Minami Nagai had controlled her emotions, she still couldn't help thinking about this song that she loved deeply. Even though it evoked painful memories, she still couldn't hate it.
She was thinking about the plots in the music video and why Chi Jingyuan shot these shots in the music video to express that meaning.
If he did it on purpose... then to some extent, he was using this MV to convey to her some of his inner thoughts.
In other words, he expressed his views and understanding of the relationship between the two people from his perspective.
It is very romantic and profound, but just like fireworks, it is short-lived, leaving only smoke and embers after it blooms.
Or maybe Chi Jingyuan did it unintentionally...
But Ming Jingnan didn't believe that he did it unintentionally.
Both she and Chi Jingyuan knew very well that "Fireworks" was not an ordinary song, no matter for either of them.
"Mina, what are you thinking about?"
At this time, it seemed that she noticed that Mingjing Nan was distracted. Hirai Momo, who had been blowing for a long time, suddenly looked at her and said, "You are not still thinking about that bad man, are you?"
"Can you cheer up? You've been apart for so long, how can you cry like this when you encounter something that happens to him... I've never seen you cry like this before." As soon as Momo Hirai saw Minami Nai, she guessed what she was thinking and instantly looked angry at her for not fighting back.
We are all here to comfort you, but you are still thinking about him?
"..."
Ming Jingnan smiled faintly when he heard this. Although there were still red marks from crying on his face, his emotions were obviously inconsistent with his out-of-control appearance just now.
However, that gentle face did not seem to be as bright as the sky after the rain, but rather gloomy and calm.
It was as if the embarrassment and collapse just now had been buried deep in my heart once again.
She squinted her eyes and smiled at Momo Hirai:
"Don't worry, it's okay. Look, I didn't cry as hard as last time."
"…If I cry a few more times, I probably won't cry anymore."
…………
After returning to the lounge, Lin Nayeon and the others saw that Ming Jingnan had come back and seemed to have returned to normal. They were very considerate and did not mention what had happened just now, as if nothing had happened. Son Chaeyoung even went straight up to Ming Jingnan and whispered in her ear.
At the same time, several people took the opportunity to talk about the instigator of everything, Chi Jingyuan's new song "Fireworks", and Hirai Momo seemed to have really brainwashed herself, and began to repeat her curse as before:
“The results will definitely not be good!”
"Just like the previous song, it topped the charts in two or three days."
Hearing Hirai Momo's solemn promise, Zhou Ziyu, who had been silent, couldn't help but frown.
She has been sitting nearby since she came back, and has not commented on the sisters' discussion. She just quietly listened to the songs and watched the MVs while thinking about her own things.
Originally, Chi Jingyuan was very happy about releasing a new song today. She knew that EXO’s new song performed very poorly a few days ago, so she had been keeping an eye on the release time of the new song today.
...Although they had different thoughts, her actions coincided with those of Mingjing Nan.
She wanted to see the MV first, then call and text Chi Jingyuan, act coquettishly and cheer him up... She was also worried that Chi Jingyuan would be in a bad mood because of the performance of the song.
But when she came back, she suddenly saw Ming Jingnan with tears streaming down her face. When she quickly understood the reason for her emotional breakdown, she felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
She would not feel any excitement from seeing the 'thief unnie' in her heart, Mingjing Nan, crying because of the song, nor would she have any thoughts like 'she deserves it'. She is not that kind of person.
On the contrary, she still had a vague feeling of being blocked. She didn't know how to describe it. The rabbit died and the fox mourned? Maybe something like that.
But she didn't want to blame Chi Jing, and she didn't know what to say, so she remained silent.
But at this moment, when she heard Momo Hirai cursing Chi Jingyuan's song for its poor performance and saying things like it would not be on the charts for three days, she immediately felt uncomfortable.
Even though he knew that Momo Hirai's personality and thinking were a little slow, these words were actually meant to comfort Minami Naoi, and they were not meant with real ill intentions.
But she still felt uncomfortable.
Just like the reason why Momo Hirai thinks that "Fireworks" is nice to listen to and the MV is well shot, but still smears it, it is because of her stance.
Of course, Zhou Ziyu also has her own stance.
Although it's a bit hurtful to say it, compared to her own members...her position is on Chi Jingyuan's side.
"Ernie."
The youngest member who had been silent all this time suddenly raised his head. His big black eyes were clear and calm. The corners of his mouth drooped naturally as he spoke, with a hint of aggression:
"It may not be what you think."
………………
“The sashimi in this restaurant is really good…”
"I just don't like eating sashimi...I find it really weird."
At dinner time in a restaurant in Osaka, Park Chanyeol, Byun Baekhyun and other five members of EXO were sitting at the same table to eat. While eating the special neon food, they took a sip of spicy sake from time to time. They were enjoying themselves and the atmosphere was very good.
"...Where's Jingyuan?"
As they were talking, someone casually asked about Chi Jingyuan.
"I think he's filming. I heard from his agent this afternoon that he has a lot of filming in the next two days...to promote his song."
“Why are you all crowded into these two days?”
"It seems that he has some work to do and will go to A-mei's place to shoot. Girls' Generation still has a music video to shoot."
"I'm really busy~"
Kim Jong-in said something jokingly and suddenly started breathing out...the wine he just drank was a little spicy.
They were quite busy after the release of "Summer in Osaka" a few days ago, so this time it was Chi Jingyuan's turn.
"By the way, has his song "Fireworks" been released?"
When we were having dinner together yesterday, the members deliberately did not talk about this song, but now that Chi Jingyuan is not here, there seems to be less opportunity to talk about it during dinner, so now they are talking about it again.
"It's released. It was released at noon... Even if it has nothing to do with you, you should still pay a little attention to it."
"I misremembered the time. I thought it was evening or midnight."
"It really has nothing to do with it..."
Kim Jong-in wiped his mouth with a tissue, his tone sounding somewhat dissatisfied: "It would have been fine if it was a collaboration between him and someone else, but now it has suddenly become a promotional song like ours... The whole group sang that promotional song together, and he sang the other one alone, what is this..."
"I guess after this song is released, our fans on the peninsula will start quarreling again. The contrast in resources is just too stark..."
He clicked his tongue, as if he had anticipated something: "Maybe they will drive a truck to the company gate to demonstrate..."
“What’s the use?” Bian Baekhyun lowered his head to eat and interjected without much concern.
Obviously, the situation created by the two promotional songs this time where Ji Jingyuan was fighting alone in the big group made many other EXO members feel dissatisfied. One reason was that his resources and treatment were too good. Everyone in the big group sang one song, and he sang one alone.
The second is that the performance of the big group's "Summer in Osaka" was too bleak, which made some people feel unbalanced in comparison.
...But it's just a complaint. I've gotten used to it a long time ago.
Several people were complaining, but Park Chanyeol was just eating and drinking by himself, and didn't join in their complaints. He was feeling very comfortable... He didn't really care about the results, as he had been in the industry for so long, and such a small result wouldn't affect anything. On the contrary, Ji Kyung-won's good results could help lead the group, and as a member of EXO, he could just follow along.
As for face...haha.
"I'm fine. Jingyuan has actually been keeping a low profile. It's his song, so it's normal for him to sing it alone. It was the company's decision to make it a promotional song. He must have wanted it to be a collaboration song."
Kim Jong Dae acted very calm and said something fair, but after a pause he said helplessly: "It's just that the performance of our song "Summer in Osaka" is really bad. If his song becomes popular... it's really embarrassing."
"By the way, it's been released for so long, how is the performance of his song now?" Park Chanyeol raised his head and asked curiously.
"I took a look in the afternoon. It was just average. There seemed to be dozens of people in the queue."
Byun Baekhyun immediately responded, and it was clear that he had paid special attention to it before: "It's much better than "Summer in Osaka", but not much better... Looking at this ranking, it will probably drop off the charts in two days."
"So miserable? I think his song is very nice~"
When Kim Jong Dae heard this, his eyes widened in surprise. He didn't even eat his meal. He put down his chopsticks, took out his mobile phone and started searching.
“It sounds nice…”
Bian Boxian also nodded in agreement, but his expression soon changed. He was somewhat helpless, yet also a little secretly happy as he analyzed, “Maybe our style is not suitable for Japan. I think that Osaka Summer is pretty good. The previous Electric Kiss was not very good… Jingyuan’s song is good, but there is nothing we can do if Japanese people don’t like it.”
"Maybe only we think his song is good, but Japan may not think it is good either." Kim Jong-in interrupted.
While the two were arranging, Kim Jong Dae looked at the music charts on his phone and asked curiously, "Can't find it? I don't see "Fireworks"
"What list are you looking at?"
Byun Bo Hyun raised his head and asked in surprise.
"Oricon... Don't all Japanese people look at this list?"
"Don't look at Oricon, that's mainly based on sales. Even the Oricon Digital Singles Chart shouldn't be looked at, that only counts downloads, not streaming, and it's only updated on Monday..."
"Watch Billboard Japan or Line Music in real time. If that doesn't work, iTunes will work too."
Byun Baekhyun said very skillfully: "I checked it once at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. I checked both Billboard Japan and Line Music. One is over 40 and the other is over 30. The rankings are both average, and the reviews below are not very good either."
"The first game was like this, so you can imagine what will happen next."
As he said this, he shrugged, and it was unclear whether he was happy or regretful.
However, Kim Jong Dae did not agree and continued to search with his head down.
"...By the way, wasn't this song used by Jingyuan to pick up girls before?" After hearing that the performance was very poor, Park Chanyeol didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he started talking about gossip with great interest.
"Ha, I know. Didn't he sing this song with Twice's Mina before? Then didn't Moon Tae-il's recording get leaked, in which he talked about things between him and Mina? I remember there was a lot of noise online at the time... Later, they were worried about angering fans, so they cancelled the collaboration."
Kim Jong-in said with a smile: "It seems that the recording was finished at that time... But Mina is really good, she looks very charming, and she looks like that... I once ran into her by chance in the company."
"Mina is indeed okay, so Jingyuan and Mina are in a relationship?"
"I seem to have heard someone say yes before."
“He’s openly picking up girls under the guise of work again…” Byun Baekhyun was quite envious.
He couldn't envy Chi Jingyuan's resources and family background, but what he envied most was that he could pick up girls at work, and he had done so many times.
"If it weren't for Wen Taiyi's recording incident that implicated him, he would have been playing around again... But Wen Taiyi messed with him, and it was miserable. You know, I heard that after the recording incident, the company seemed to want to protect him. Originally, they were going to put him on ice for a while and then try to make a difference. But then they changed their mind in an instant, not only did they quit the group, they also sent him to the police to sue him. Tsk, tsk, the company has never dealt with an artist like this before... Can you guess why?"
"Why else? Who else has such great power except Jingyuan? Don't think Jingyuan is always smiling when he is not angry. You have never seen him get really angry. Ordinary people can't stand it."
Park Chanyeol sneered, "But that's normal. If I were Jingyuan, I would have dealt with him too... Wen Taiyi, that bastard, is fine with going to jail. He still cursed me behind my back. He used to greet me politely every time we met, so I had a good impression of him. Bastard~"
"But... this is a good thing."
Kim Jong-in didn't know what he remembered, and suddenly laughed in a promotional way: "Look, didn't Baekhyun just say that the performance of his song "Fireworks" was average? Now he is embarrassed. If he sang it with Mina, it would be so embarrassing for such a song for picking up girls to perform so poorly. He is a person who cares about face the most..."
"Eh?"
But before Kim Jong-in could finish, Kim Jong-dae, who had been looking up the charts on his phone, suddenly shouted in surprise and interrupted him. Before he could say anything, Kim Jong-dae looked up at Baekhyun and said, "Baekhyun, what time did you check the charts? They were Billboard Japan and Line Music."
"What was the ranking of Jingyuan's song "Fireworks" at that time?"
"One is over forty and the other is over thirty?"
Bian Baekhyun frowned and repeated, “Didn’t I tell you just now…”
Then, before he could finish, Kim Jong Dae raised his phone to him and pointed at one of the columns with a strange expression: "Take another look at the number..."
Byun Baekhyun's eyes quickly focused on the place where Kim Jong-dae was pointing, but when he saw clearly and quickly found the location of "Fireworks", his pupils suddenly shrank.
