The number one playboy on the Peninsula!
Chapter 184 Are you and Mina together?
Chapter 184 Are you and Mina together?
On April 26, the sun in Seoul was glaringly bright.
Gong Cheng and the members of Bombardment Meteor came to the JYP cafeteria. Since the conversation they had on the night of the 24th, most of them have become more stable.
The focus of the past two days was on joint dance practice. Among the seven people, except Gong Cheng and Lin Yingxiong, most of them had good dancing skills, but it was a brand new group after all, and their tacit understanding was average, so naturally they all stayed in the practice room.
After practicing for a whole morning, the seven people were too lazy to drive out to eat, so they just had a few bites in the cafeteria.
"Huang Lizhi, Private~" Gong Cheng was listening to Park Chanyeol and the others chatting, and when he saw the dazed Huang Lizhi not far away, he called out.
Huang Lizhi, who had her back to her, was obviously startled by his shout. When she saw Gong Cheng's half-smile, she stomped her feet in annoyance.
"You guys eat, brother. I'll go eat over there." Gong Cheng picked up the plate and walked away quietly under the surprised gazes of several people.
"Are they the trainees from your company?" Wu Sehun poked Wang Jiaer's shoulder curiously. Why are they targeting the trainees now?
"Yes, ace trainee." Wang Jiaer peeled a banana and nodded.
"The girl in the music video?"
"How's your practice lately?" Gong Cheng sat opposite Huang Lizhi, thinking of chatting with her and showing some concern for this little brother he was protecting, but it was indeed very boring.
When I sit down to eat with Park Jae-bum and the others, there is always nothing to talk about. After a few words, the conversation will start with some female artist or that club in Gangnam with nice decoration.
Of course there are work-related matters, but who the hell likes to talk about work while eating!
"Hehe~ All A's on this month's evaluations." Huang Lizhi lowered his head somewhat complacently and drank the same cafeteria orange juice as Gong Cheng. "Seniors, are you guys preparing for a comeback?"
Gong Cheng nodded. He was familiar with the company's trainee assessment system. He had heard Twice members reminisce about their sad trainee days when they were drunk more than once.
According to Bunny Girl's father, every day when they opened their eyes, they were working hard for their debut. Every time they went through the debut group selection, they were nervous and afraid. After working hard for so many years, they would have to pack up and leave like other trainees.
Speaking of which, JYP does not have that many trainees among the three major groups. SM, which has the largest number of trainees, has several departments, including dance department, vocal department, etc. In each selection, the debut team will select trainees with outstanding performance in various positions from each department, and then eliminate them to confirm the final debut personnel.
Long and painful.
"Senior, please don't be angry when I say something to you." Huang Lizhi narrowed his eyes in a servile manner.
"What are the rumors?"
"Ani, I suddenly feel that there is nothing good about debuting. Look at those bird babies who are boycotting Jackson senior downstairs of the company. It's really so hurtful." Huang Lizhi glanced at Wang Jiaer and the others, covered his mouth with his slender hands, and lowered his voice.
It’s okay. He knows to be careful when talking about people, unlike a certain fanatical fan - Gong Cheng couldn’t help but think of the "Dragon of the Executive Department".
"So you don't want to debut anymore?"
"Of course I do. I don't know how to date." Huang Lizhi refuted firmly, but then he became depressed and stir the white rice on the plate. "But I can't say for sure. I'd better debut first..."
As she spoke, she glanced at Gong Cheng's nonchalant face.
"We should talk, we should be in love. Why think so much? You're just wasting your time worrying about nothing." Gong Cheng muttered speechlessly, then realized that this was wrong. "Don't tell anyone that I said this, or Brother Zhenying will ask me out for coffee again."
"But as for you, you'd better practice hard. Not everyone can be like..." As he said this, he raised his eyebrows a little proudly, and the meaning was self-evident. Under Huang Lizhi's speechless gaze.
Gong Cheng changed the subject, "I'm not trying to discourage you, but actually, debuting is just the beginning. Do you know Red Velvet?"
"Of course I know, a popular girl group? I like Joohyun senior very much, she is very beautiful." Huang Lizhi's eyes lit up with gossip. When he was with this senior, he could always hear some gossip and secrets in the circle.
"A popular girl group? It seems that you really like Irene! But your fan filter is too heavy. Shouldn't the popular local girl group now be your seniors? Twice!" Gong Cheng looked at this "little traitor" with displeasure and couldn't help but speak for the members.
"Of course the senior sisters are very powerful..."
"So, after debuting, the competition will be even more intense than when you were a trainee. The K-pop generational cycle is faster than that of any other country. You never know, you might debut and become a monster rookie, only to be replaced and become obscure."
Gong Cheng shrugged and stated the truth. Last year, many popular groups and artists who hadn't debuted before him, where are they now, a year later?
"So, seniors, are you guys at Bombardment Meteor also going to iterate? The recent situation doesn't look very good..." Huang Lizhi scooped a mouthful of white rice and put it into his mouth, nodding in approval.
She listened to the teachings of her predecessors.
"..." Gong Cheng drank a sip of orange juice in annoyance. Why did he rub salt into someone's wounds?
"Alas, but I see that the company has no plans to start a new girl group in the next two years. Even if I want to be forgotten, I can't." Huang Lizhi shook her head in annoyance, but she is still young and can afford to wait.
"What are you afraid of? Don't forget who is protecting you. If you fail after your debut, big brother will throw you into the pot and make you twice-cooked pork." Gong Cheng joked with a smile. According to Huang Lizhi's strength, as long as the group configuration can keep up, he should not fail if he debuts, right?
What weird newcomer? He was just talking nonsense about a mediocre group! He had seen Huang Lizhi practice, and wow, he was really strong! He had great stamina! He was like a special forces soldier!
"Maknae, let's go back to the practice room first." Wu Sehun and others who were not far away stood up and greeted Gong Cheng.
Gong Cheng glanced at the time and was almost half full, so he put down his plate and said, "Let's go, Lizhi, practice well."
"Senior, hold on! Go to the top!" Huang Lizhi put down her chopsticks and encouraged Gong Cheng. Although the outside public opinion was unfavorable to this senior's combination, she believed that this brother could break everyone's doubts again.
"Ok, Private!"
Gong Cheng smiled and waved his hand, and then under his gaze, Huang Lizhi sat up straight and made their standard "dinner partner" posture, saluting!
……
"Hero, move slowly and keep an eye on the other guys."
"Sehun, you, Xiaocheng, and Chanyeol, show off your advantages of having long arms and legs..."
“Lay, not bad!”
"Jackson, you and Jaebeom, your duo needs to work together well, ok?"
"..."
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Gong Cheng left the practice room sweating profusely. Before leaving, he glanced at Twice's practice room next door. Tomorrow, this place will be as noisy as a vegetable market again.
Twice's flight today will land in Seoul in the evening.
Gong Cheng is a homebody. Wherever his idol Rabbit, Little Tiger, and Zhao Meiyan are, that is his home. He misses them very much.
Coming to the composition room, Gong Cheng listened to the arrangement he had made before. The style of funk dance music, also known as soul music, is a type of dance music, and for large boy bands -
In fact, Gong Cheng sees that most K-pop songs, regardless of size, are dance music. Funk music, on the other hand, blends soul, soul jazz, and rhythm and blues into a new danceable musical style and is considered a precursor to disco.
When Gong Cheng came up with the arrangement, he had the idea of collaborating with musicians from Europe and the United States, but he hasn't decided who to look for yet.
After clearing his mind, Gong Cheng looked at the unfinished lyrics and typed out the song title "Boy With Luv".
"Curious about everything~ How was your day~"
“oh tell me~”
"What makes you feel so happy~"
"..."
……
"Ah! I'm a world-famous superstar, but I've become Twice's exclusive chef? This is hilarious!"
At nine o'clock that evening, Gong Cheng was in the dormitory kitchen, wearing a blue apron, one hand in his pocket, the other holding a spatula, stirring the food in the pot. Several bags of ingredients lay at his feet, and it was obvious that this was going to be a strenuous job.
He took a sip of beer on the chopping board and glanced at the message from Lin Nayeon. "Dear, we landed safely. Thank you for your hard work."
Gong Cheng's spatula was practically smoking from shoveling, his hands so sore he really didn't want to reply. Before Twice boarded the plane, he received messages from the members and announced the menu in the group chat...
He originally wanted to pretend to be dead, but the members kept calling him, so he had no choice but to "pretend to be dead"!
Being a cook would be fine, but Gong Cheng rushed to the supermarket after work and bought a lot of ingredients. The problem was that Kim Da Hyun and Yu Jeong Yeon insisted on eating kimchi and ramen...
Not enough to eat?
"Oppa, I'm back." Park Ji-hyo walked into the kitchen and placed the vinegar Gong Cheng had asked her to on the chopping board. "Is there anything I can help you with, Oppa?"
"You should get some rest, Jihyo. When they come back, tell them to keep their voices down. Ah Xi, I really am..." Gong Cheng muttered, stirring the food in the pot, "Ramen, ramen, I told you to make ramen!"
Park Ji Hyo's injury wasn't serious. After recuperating in the hospital for a while, she said she's almost recovered. So after knowing the members were returning to Seoul today, she decided to come over and lend a hand to Gong Cheng.
"dududu~"
Gong Cheng glanced at the video call that popped up on his phone. It was from Chou Tzuyu. He freed his hands and just as he answered the call, he heard a burst of noise and chatter on the screen.
"Oh my~ Oppa, you've worked so hard~ You should have a nice drink tonight." Yu Jeongyeon joked with a smile, and Zhou Tzuyu, who was holding her mobile phone in a daze next to her, also smiled.
"So you're video chatting here to supervise me working?" Gong Cheng glanced around and saw several heads on the screen, including Sun Caiying and her dog, Yu Jeongyeon and Zhou Tzuyu. It seemed that they were riding in the same nanny car.
"Ani, I'm just worried that you'll be tired, so I want to accompany you mentally." Minatozaki Sana hugged Zhou Tzuyu's neck and smiled happily.
Gong Cheng propped his phone on the windowsill in a bad mood, still busy throwing the chopped green onions on the chopping board into the pot. "Ah, I'm really impressed by Yu Jeongyeon and Kim Dahyun!"
"You guys can make the ramen when you get back! Forget about having a drink, I have things to do tonight."
In the video, Gong Cheng was frantically flipping the spatula, muttering to himself, and busy controlling the fire. Then he freed his hands to take a sip of beer, and then rolled up the sushi that the "Japanese line" wanted to eat on the chopping board.
"What are you busy with? Are you going to Gangnam, Oppa?" Zhou Ziyu asked softly. This Oppa always said he was busy when he went out at night, but wasn't he going to a nightclub or a bar?
"Drink less alcohol, Oppa, it's not good for your health."
"That's right, Oppa. Everyone will be busy again soon, let's have a drink together to cheer ourselves up." Yu Jeongyeon.
"Ani, we're going to Gangnam, but not to drink. There's been a lot of trouble with the group lately..." Gong Cheng explained after taking a sip of beer. He seemed to have opened up and said sarcastically, "Hey, you guys, this is really funny!"
"Chanyeol and his team received death threats a few days ago, and this afternoon the company received a letter also containing death threats."
"Isn't that you're threatening me, Oppa?" Yu Jeongyeon sounded a little surprised.
They knew that Bombardment Meteor had recently caused a lot of public outcry in China, but they hadn't heard about the death threats, after all, they had just got off the plane.
Several heads on the screen were watching his busy figure with some concern.
"Yes, but it's not a big deal. I heard from Brother Dayu that it was actually more like a warning letter. It's outrageous. That person seemed to be a fan of Irene, warning me to stay away from Irene! Damn bastard!" Gong Cheng cursed as he put the sushi on the chopping board and arranged it on the plate.
"Ah Xi! When did the scandal between her and me start? It's hilarious! Do you think I could fall in love with that short Daegu?"
"Cough cough~" On the screen, Sun Caiying coughed twice.
"You can't say that, Oppa. What do you mean by short? Irene sunbaenim is very beautiful. Besides, with your height, which girl standing next to you wouldn't be short?"
"Forget it. How long will it take you to get here?" Gong Cheng opened another can of beer and took a sip.
"It'll take about 20 minutes if there's no traffic. We brought gifts for you and Jihyo." Minatozaki Sana said.
"OK, let's meet and talk."
After hanging up the video call, Gong Cheng glanced at the group chat of the ten-member Twice group. He wondered when Zhou Ziyu had taken a screenshot of the video and sent it to the group chat with a sly expression.
"(Picture) (Grinning)"
In the screenshot, Gong Cheng stood in the kitchen with one hand in his pocket, wearing a blue apron with a little penguin pattern. The spatula was a bit doubled in the picture...
Nayeon: "A serious man is the most handsome!"
Mingjing Nan: "Certification!"
Kim Da-hyun: “So handsome!”
Hirai Momo: "It smells so good~"
"..."
"Hehe..." Gong Cheng clicked on the voice bar and said unhappily, "Handsome? The people who say I'm handsome can line up from Seoul to France!" What a bunch of flatterers!
After putting down his phone, Gong Cheng drank a sip of beer in a daze, and thought for a moment, "Forget it, let's add another dish for the members!"
……
On April 27, as public opinion about Bombardment Meteor grew increasingly intense in the local area, the nominations for the 24th Billboard Music Awards in the United States were announced.
Adele, Beyonce, Justin Bieber, Drake... and a series of European and American artists were nominated for Best Artist, while most of the nominees for Best Male Singer and Best Female Singer were from the Best Artist nominee list.
Bombardment Meteor is nominated for Best Social Artist along with Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez, Ariana Grande and Shawn Mendes.
The Best Social Artist Award is based on the Social 50 chart. The award integrates the data flow of the Billboard Social 50 chart for one year. By collecting data such as the number of fans and followers added each week, and the number of weekly song plays, the artist's popularity is judged to select the shortlist.
This includes discussion on all social platforms like YouTube, Twitter, and Instagram, as well as music video views and Spotify song streaming... The weekly charts feature popular singers like Gaga, Ariana Grande, Bieber, Nicki Minaj, and Queen Bee...
The winners are then selected from the five shortlisted singers each year based on voting and rankings.
"Oh, why did it turn out like this, Oppa?" In Twice's practice room, Son Chaeyoung sighed and shook her head. The Best Social Artist Award was enough to prove Bombardment Meteor's achievements last year.
Even now, there are still many enthusiastic fans in Europe and the United States who are paying attention to their upcoming return, but the local public opinion and the outside public opinion are simply two different worlds. No one realizes that being nominated for this award is already a great achievement.
But in the eyes of those black fans and antis, it will only be a nomination anyway. After all, since the Billboard Music Awards were reintroduced in 2011, the Best Social Artist Award has been monopolized by Justin Bieber for the past six years.
The people actually don’t have much hope…
If the nominee was the oppa next to her, Son Chaeyoung thought Gong Cheng could win the award, but this awards ceremony selected last year's awards, and Gong Cheng's achievements in the US only started this year, so the timing doesn't match.
The reason why Bombardment Meteor was able to achieve such great success last year was not only because of Gong Cheng's production ability, but also because of the story behind him, which attracted a large number of European and American listeners. It was a combination of various coincidences.
Therefore, many members of Twice are also worried about this oppa.
"May 21st?" Gong Cheng glanced at the final announced award ceremony date of the nominations. The award ceremony will be held at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, USA.
In the hot search comment section, "Is the artillery group going on a trip?"
"If you don't win the prize, just swim back."
"Why would I go? Justin Bieber will win in the end anyway."
"Let's show the Las Vegas chicks what the Artillery Corps cannons are capable of!"
"Didn't you say you were coming back? Are you scared? There's not even a date or a teaser photo! If it weren't for my Dabang..."
"No what? Didn't your big stick kill someone? How dare you say that? Do you want to eat your oppa's poison stick? You lick it so servilely, kneel down!"
"..."
"Ah! This is really infuriating..." Gong Cheng turned off the screen of his mobile phone, picked up the orange juice and took a sip. Why did his mouth feel a little sticky? His mouth was very fresh. He looked down and found a lipstick mark on it.
Quite heavy.
"You drank my drink..." Ming Jingnan's fair face froze. She usually spoke in a low voice, but for some reason her voice became several decibels louder at this moment, making the members look at her strangely.
Gong Cheng glanced at the two glasses of the same orange juice on the floor, his expression unchanged as he automatically blocked out those embarrassing looks. "Mina-chan, why are you drinking the same drink as me?"
"Aren't you drinking coffee? Forget it, I'll give it back to you. I only took a sip, not a lot. You have to distinguish them next time, otherwise it's easy to get confused."
Mingjing Nan took the orange juice at a loss, pointed at himself, and his face trembled, "Do I need to ask you for permission to drink orange juice?"
How come it's like I drank your orange juice?
"You can if you want..." Gong Cheng sat on the sofa and quickly picked up his mobile phone to cover up his guilt. However, he held the phone upside down, and his expression became even more embarrassed.
"Here you go. I won't drink this one." Mingjing Nan was a little annoyed, but she looked at the orange juice in her hand after seeing the other members' gazes. Facing this shameless guy, she had no other choice but to say, "Here you go. I'll buy another one later."
"I don't want to drink from other people's mouths." Gong Cheng turned his head away and refused.
Mingjing Nan glanced at him, "..." Twice everyone, "..."
Haji Cheng, you bastard!
Gong Cheng, “…”
"Ahem~ So, are you guys coming back on the 15th of next month?" Gong Cheng quickly changed the subject. He felt like Ming Jingnan was cursing him to death in her heart! Look at her eyes and expression, how did she learn to control her facial expressions?
"Yeah, what's wrong, Oppa." Kim Da Hyun looked around and quickly came out to smooth things over and took over the conversation.
"It's okay, I feel like we're going to collide." Gong Cheng looked at the members with a smile. It felt really difficult to choose. One was a member of Twice, and the other was a member of Bombardment Meteor.
"Is it decided? Are you going to return in the middle of next month?" This topic immediately attracted the attention of all the members. Some of them, such as Lim Nayeon, Park Ji-hyo and Son Chaeyoung, who were belligerent and ambitious, looked eager to try and seemed to be looking forward to it.
There were also some who looked a little worried, such as Chou Tzuyu and Kim Dahyun... But Chou Tzuyu was a little worried. How would she comfort this oppa if she had hurt him?
"I just decided. I'm going to discuss it with Brother Zhenying later. But it won't be that close. It should be at the end of the month, on the day of the Billboard Awards!" Gong Cheng smiled. Those bullshit comments really made him angry.
"Are you in such a hurry? Didn't you say it was a regular album? Can you finish it? There won't be enough time just for the dancing." Lin Nayeon was a little worried that her boyfriend would be overworked, but that wouldn't do. Health is the most important thing.
"Release a series of albums." Gong Cheng said with a faint smile. This month's K-pop, in addition to the official release of their first regular album, can be called a battle of female solos, IU, Kim Taeyeon, Apink's Jung Eun-ji, Jessica Jung, Lee Haeri...
"A series?" Yu Jeongyeon and the others asked in shock. "If it's a series, won't it be too long? There are already several groups that have announced their comebacks recently."
"SEVENTEEN seems to be making a comeback on the 22nd of next month, right? Also, the company's Day6 is releasing their first full-length album in early June. GD is also releasing their second mini album. NCT127 and T-ara are making a comeback as a four-member group. And BLACKPINK, Apink's seniors, Red Velvet, and EXO are all coming back in the summer."
"These are just the groups that have announced their comebacks. The rest haven't been announced yet..."
"The popular and former popular artists will probably have to make a comeback in the summer. Otherwise, there won't be much to do in October or November. After all, they're all preparing for the year-end music festivals and award ceremonies on the three major TV stations." Lin Nayeon hesitantly reminded her boyfriend.
"And with the current buzz surrounding Bombardment Meteor, I feel like a lot of groups' comebacks are probably aimed at knocking you guys off your lap..."
Before Lim Nayeon finished her words, Gong Cheng smiled. He was of course aware of some of the comments made by fans of other groups, such as "As long as you can step on the bomb, you can reach the top."
"That's great. I really hope they come back together. It would be a shame if any one of them were missing." In the eyes of Twice, Gong Cheng shrugged provocatively. "One first release, three series albums, each with three songs, starting on the 21st of next month..."
"Then what?" Zhou Ziyu asked curiously.
“…” Gong Cheng smiled but said nothing.
This made everyone anxious, "Just tell me!"
"Honestly, don't be angry!" Gong Cheng said with a grin, "Starting from May 21st, Bombardment Meteor will crush all the groups!"
"Ah! You're talking nonsense again!" Minatozaki Sana patted his shoulder unhappily. Although she believed in the production ability of the man next to her, it was impossible for every song to be a hit.
This is too arrogant. Besides, does this mean you don't take us Twice seriously?
"Just treat it as nonsense I'm talking. Anyway, the recent practice has been really hard. It will always be uncomfortable if I don't get anything in return after giving so much." Gong Cheng stood up, thinking that the relaxation time was over and he had to go back to practice again.
In the past two days, he also listened to the title song produced by Park Jin Young for Twice. To be honest, it was very average, not just average.
……
At 5 pm, Gong Cheng walked out of Park Jin Young's office and returned to the practice room.
The series of albums has officially begun. Park Jin-young and Lee Soo-man both aim to secure the top spot for Bombardment Meteor this summer, solidifying their Asian fanbase.
Gong Cheng also didn't want to worry about whether the local group could reach the top. In short, the results would speak for themselves.
To be honest, the recent events of Park Chanyeol and Wang Jiaer are really unbelievable, but then again, the songs speak for themselves.
He told the members about the group's first full-length album plan. Looking at their expressions, Gong Cheng thought, "It's okay. Everyone is full of energy!" The two less enthusiastic members also seemed eager to prove themselves.
It is worth mentioning that the previously decided album title "Gemini&Gemini" was abandoned!
After all, times have changed. People feel that an album title that is domineering and expresses ambition is still needed, even if it is a little childish.
……
On June 4th, the weather was fine.
"Move harder, Xiao Cheng!"
"Jaebeom, hurry up and enter!"
"Ashi! The floor is so slippery!"
……
December 4th...
"Ashi, I'm so tired!"
"Hero, great progress!"
"..."
……
On May 1, Gong Cheng's small practice room was packed with people, including three dance teachers from the company, Park Jin Young, and Lee Soo Man who came from SM for sightseeing.
It's not often you see these two standing side by side. Outside the door stood a group of curious Twice members, all watching the seven members of Bombardment Meteor practicing their dance moves in the center of the floor.
"..."
Gong Cheng followed the powerful drum beats and looked at the mirror in the practice room with other members. The seven people's movements were becoming more and more coordinated. There were still many flaws, but it was a great improvement compared to the previous chaotic dance.
The sword dance formation was an inverted triangle. The tallest Gong Cheng stood alone at the end of the practice room with an open space in front of him. Park Chanyeol, Oh Sehun and other members on the left and right were arranged in a diagonal formation extending forward according to their height.
The choreography incorporates elements of locking and popping, surging powerfully to the beat of the drums.
Even in the mirror, Lin Yingxiong, who had the worst dancing talent, was dancing better and better - after Gong Cheng lowered the brim of his black hat, he came to the front of the line as the members shuffled around.
The other six members formed a group-type queue while moving around, with three people in a group, standing on both sides of Gong Cheng, and Gong Cheng started the Harlem Shake in his hip-hop dance again, stepping on Lee Soo Man's heart.
"Does he really have no dance foundation?" Lee Soo-man asked Park Jin-young beside him in a low voice.
"He has a foundation in boxing." Park Jin Young didn't bother to pay attention to the old guy. If it weren't for the Bombardment Meteor incident, he would not have been willing to stand with this blind guy.
"As expected, beautiful children should stand in the middle..."
"..."
The practice ended briefly, and the seven people walked out of the formation, picked up the water cups on the ground and took a sip.
Gong Cheng rolled up his short-sleeved shirt and wiped the sweat from his forehead. His eyes were a little stingy. He always felt that practicing dance was much more intense than going to the gym. But it was still quite interesting to dance and look at himself in the mirror.
He also discovered that Jackson Wang was quite good at dancing, especially group dancing, which had a strong sense of rhythm.
"Clap clap~"
The two presidents applauded. They thought it was pretty good, though the adjustment period was a bit short. Especially with the current seven-person staff: a top-notch vocalist, several lead dancers, and several rappers!
Popularity! Yes! Even with Park Chanyeol and Jackson Wang having gone through the relationship scandal, their fan base is still quite strong compared to other artists.
Facade? That's not necessary.
There are all kinds of things! Even Lee Soo Man’s usual black-and-red marketing has some negative information.
They believe that if this kind of group becomes a big hit, it will definitely not be Asian-level like Big Bang's Queen, but will definitely be world-class! So they pay special attention to it, there is no reason why this kind of group won't become a big hit!
President Park's chicken soup time...
"..."
At noon, Zhang Yixing treated us to a takeout meal and we ate in the practice room.
"Are you going to attend the Baeksang Arts Awards tomorrow? Maknae, are you sure you can win the Best Actor award?" Zhang Yixing asked while sitting on the floor, holding a lunch box.
"It's hard to say." Gong Cheng picked up a can of Coke from the floor and took a sip, then said truthfully that the competition was a bit fierce.
"Tsk tsk, if he really wins the Best Actor award, he'll be the first K-pop singer to win it, right?"
"Who knows? Aren't there people who win the Newcomer Award every year..." Gong Cheng wasn't too sure if he could win the Best Actor Award at the Baeksang Arts Awards. Anyway, he would be quite busy tomorrow at the Baeksang Arts Awards.
The organizer also invited him to perform a song called "Any Song" on stage. He had no idea what was so popular about this song and why it was still so popular after a month.
After dinner, several people from Bombardment Meteor changed their clothes and got into two minivans in batches. They had a group commercial to shoot in the afternoon.
Gong Cheng, Wang Jiaer and Zhang Yixing were in one car, and the remaining four members were in one car. In addition to the two driving agents, there was another car of agents.
The nanny car drove out of the basement and circled in front of the company, ready to merge into the traffic on the main road. Wang Jiaer glanced at the world reflected by the black anti-peep film outside the car window. In front of the JYP building, there were still many GOT7 fans who insisted on holding banners, wanting him to get out of GOT7 without any hesitation.
Zhang Yixing patted his shoulder and said nothing.
"Brother Lay, let me ask you something." Gong Cheng suddenly interrupted, "What has Irene been busy with recently?"
Hearing this, Zhang Yixing's eyebrows jumped, "Are you starting to be interested in Irene?"
"No, he's coming back soon, so I wanted to ask her for a favor. I wrote a song, and I want her to appear in it later." Gong Cheng scratched his head truthfully. He wrote a pretty good song these two days, and he was thinking of finding a female artist to collaborate with him on the MV.
Although Daegu's short stature doesn't quite match his height, the title of "Goddess of Face" does fit, which is a bit of a gimmick. Originally, he wanted to find that senior from Girls' Generation, Lim Yoona.
But as for this sister, the two of them have never even met each other, not to mention that this sister is now fully focused on the big screen.
Wang Jiaer put away his depressed mood and became curious, "Don't you have no feelings for her?"
"..."
……
Arriving at the commercial shooting location, the seven members of Bombardment Meteor got out of the car together. Park Chanyeol and Wang Jiaer looked a little unnatural facing the camera.
"Tarot, who are you dating now?"
"Park Chanyeol, will you quit EXO and apologize?"
"Lin Yingxiong, I heard that you have secretly married. Is that true?"
"Can Bombardment Meteor still be summited?"
Under the overwhelming flashes of death lights, the seven members of Bombardment Meteor walked into the elevator to the floor with expressionless faces. Gong Cheng was the last one to enter. After he turned around and pressed the number for the 7th floor.
At the moment when the elevator door was about to close, the cold expressions of the seven people were captured by the media outside.
As the elevator went up, Park Chanyeol cursed in a low voice, "Ah Xi..."
Gong Cheng smiled and pointed to the top of his head, "There's a probe, brother hh~ Don't make such a low-level mistake again, Chanyeol brother."
In the elevator, the members burst into laughter, and Park Chanyeol sighed in silence.
Gong Cheng sometimes feels that the members, no! All the artists, are like wanted criminals on the run, afraid of revealing any flaws and being caught by the police.
Park Chanyeol and Wang Jiaer had their veils torn off - and then those people began to judge them.
……
That afternoon, a piece of news about Bombardment Meteor became a hot topic.
【Everyone in Bombardment Meteor has a cold face! 】
The members who are at the center of the controversy have once again appeared in public, and the only hot search content is a photo of an elevator about to close.
[Photos]
In the photo, Bombardment Meteor, led by Gong Cheng, stood in the half-open elevator door. Seven pairs of frowned brows looked frighteningly cold, with none of the businesslike smiles they had shown in front of the camera before.
[It is reported that this is the first public appearance of all seven members of Bombardment Meteor following the scandals of Park Chanyeol and Jackson Wang. According to a newspaper reporter, the seven members refused to answer any questions throughout the event, becoming embroiled in a public outcry...]
"I'm going to answer you with a fucking slap! You're just spreading rumors and maliciously slandering my pigeons."
"It would be best if it all collapsed. Disband immediately! A boy band cobbled together from nowhere still wants to reach the top?"
"..."
"Don't read those comments, Chaeyoung." Gong Cheng sat on the sofa at night, embracing the little tiger who was holding his phone and browsing the trending comments. "Do you like the guitar?"
"I like it~" Sun Caiying threw down her phone, excitedly got out of his arms, and pulled Gong Cheng to the balcony.
The balcony under the night sky was caressed by the moonlight. There were many potted plants sent by the Twice members on the ground, including cacti, morning glories, and some strange varieties that Gong Cheng could hardly recognize.
It was originally said that they were used to purify the air for him and were also more ornamental, but later Gong Cheng quit smoking and took care of these flowers and plants when he had nothing to do.
The morning glory lying on the white railing grew quite tall under his careful care, and in front of the sliding glass door next to the balcony, Gong Cheng specially ordered a swing-like chair online, which was just big enough for two people to sit on.
He has sat here with Nayeon, Chaeyoung, and Sana Minatozaki.
But the one who liked to sit here and daydream the most was Little Tiger. Sun Caiying picked up the guitar that Gong Cheng had given her, leaned against him, and said with a smile, "Oppa~ I wrote a song a while ago~ I want you, the future Grammy producer, to listen to it for me?"
"Grammy?" Gong Cheng looked at the sweet-mouthed little tiger, "Are you trying to flatter me?"
"Oh, oppa! You are so proud! Let me hear it." Sun Caiying rubbed her little face in Gong Cheng's arms, then tuned the strings and sang aloud.
"A cup of coffee~"
“This is the place we happily visited every day~”
"..."
"I am alone, standing there~"
"..."
Gong Cheng was lying on the moon chair, which was shaking. Sun Caiying was holding a guitar that was almost as tall as her and singing. It sounded quite nice.
……
May 3rd, afternoon, JYP.
"Hey Suzy." Gong Cheng greeted Bae Suzy while standing in the company's lobby. This year's Baeksang Arts Awards was held today, and there were more than 100 people attending, including actors, broadcasters, directors, screenwriters, etc. Bae Suzy was one of the hosts of this year's awards, and the other was Park Joong-hoon.
"Nice tie." Bae Suzy, wearing a white high-slit long skirt and almost 10cm stiletto heels, came to Gong Cheng and touched the bow tie at the collar of his suit. "Is this Armani's new season product?"
"Ani, stop touching it." Gong Cheng quickly stopped her and said with a chuckle, "It was given to me by someone else."
"Daughter?" Bae Suzy smiled, wondering if this young man had won over the younger Japanese guy?
"Your friend gave it to me, IU." Gong Cheng said casually. Can you just tell a stranger about the girl you're dating? This girl has no sense of boundaries at all. Why is she still wearing a door curtain on her forehead?
"Do you want to go together? Take my car. It's on our way anyway." He checked the time and it was almost time to leave. On Kakao, Lin Nayeon was still asking him to take a picture to see if he was wearing the bow tie she brought back from Switzerland.
"Hey, it's Mina, right? Did you get her?" Bae Suzy nodded and then asked with a gossipy look on her face.
"..."
Gong Cheng felt a little regretful. He should have let this sister go to the ceremony by herself in the nanny car. Really.
"Where's Ji Eun-nu? She's been really popular lately. Is she coming back this month?"
"You can ask yourself when we meet later... First, tell me whether you and Mina are together or not."
Please give me monthly votes. Thank you Xizhuair for the 500-point reward. Thank you Xiangaizhenli for the 500-point reward.
