we are not friends anymore

After returning to City D, Qiao Mingxi stayed at home for a few more days. After c.air disbanded, he was depressed, and Luna put all her focus on leading the newcomer Wan Yi, wanting to make him the next generation's king of music.Now that Qiao Mingxi is willing to run the notice again, Luna needs some time to slowly think about the way forward for him, so Qiao Mingxi is free again for a while.

This day, he was browsing his forum boredly. His popularity has declined severely in the past two years, but there are still many diehard fans. Although the forum is not large in number, it is still lively.

While watching the small video edited by fans, I received a call from Luna.

"The specific procedure for this year's media night is out, and it's still the old rules. I didn't talk about the sponsorship of the dress, you can just wear your own." Luna cut to the point, "I'll send you a copy in a while, and you can repost it on Weibo .”

Qiao Mingxi is not used to wearing clothes sponsored by brands, and has been wearing her own dress since her debut. Luna let him do it, regardless of whether it affects brand cooperation, it has become a habit for several years.It's just the latter sentence that Qiao Mingxi can't quite understand.

"send what?"

Luna explained: "This year, there is an additional award for popular artists. Although it has no gold content, it is actually voted by fans. Go to the official blog, and fans will vote for you after seeing it."

Qiao Mingxi frowned: "I don't think I need it."

"Why don't you need it?" Luna said, "You still think you are a member of the original Tiantuan? It was a waste of time before, and it is better to have this award. After all, everyone in the circle knows that the award of Media Night is not for sale. of."

If the award is not sold, it means that there is no official behind-the-scenes operation, and it depends on real popularity.

"I will do some operations here. You just need to mobilize the enthusiasm of fans and make your topic lively." Luna instructed, "In short, I wrote it for you, and you can just copy and send it."

"Oh." Qiao Mingxi agreed, and after listening to Luna's instructions, she hung up the phone.

After a while, Luna sent a forwarded text, only a short sentence, imitating Qiao Mingxi's style perfectly.By sending him another document, Qiao Mingxi clicked to open it. It was the process of the evening party of the media night.

The media night is a small party in the media circle. Unlike other media parties that gather almost at the end of the year, it is held in the summer and is a party that attracts a lot of attention in the first half of the year.

There will also be some awards at the party, most of which are pork in nature, and those who are ridiculed by everyone will get awards.But because of the power behind it, almost every invited artist will attend, so it is recognized by fans as the media evening where the most stars can be seen; and for female artists, it is another feast of beauty and temperament , Which actress wears the right clothes and which one becomes a red carpet disaster will be discussed, so it is also the party that fans like to watch most.

Qiao Mingxi reposted the official Weibo of Media Night according to Luna's instructions. Almost immediately after posting, there was a reminder to reply and repost. His support club should have discussed it a long time ago, and he automatically brought the topic of.

He opened the private message section that was about to blow up, picked some private messages from real fans and replied, then closed Weibo and threw the phone aside.

Media night ah...

The last time he participated in the media night, together with the entire c.air, he won the "Most Popular Music Team" and "Most Commercially Valuable Artist". Gaining some fans, the popularity simply isn't as high as it was when I first went to media night a few years ago.

But this time, he was no longer a member of c.air, he was Qiao Mingxi, only himself.

When it came to the media night, Xiao Yan brought a familiar makeup artist to do styling for Qiao Mingxi in the afternoon.Qiao Mingxi greeted Qiao Mingyue's assistant in advance and bought a new dress.He is not tall, and a little thin. In fact, wearing a suit will lose to those male stars who are tall and hormonal, so he simply wears a casual dress, which is low-key but not simple. He is still the clean and reserved one in the hearts of fans. the little prince.

He took Xiao Yan and the bodyguards assigned to him by Qiao Mingyue to the venue. As usual, he was going to walk on the red carpet. As soon as he got out of the car, there was a burst of screaming and dazzling flashing lights.

Qiao Mingxi hadn't walked the red carpet for a long time, so he was caught off guard for a while, but the order and time of the red carpet were arranged by the organizer, he couldn't stay here for too long and delay the time of the artists behind.He closed his eyes for a few seconds, then opened them, and walked towards the registration desk calmly.

His fans like his naturally melancholy—in fact, he is in a daze most of the time—demeanor, so he is happy and relaxed, and there is no need to make a special appearance of being happy.There is no need to bring the companions who walked the red carpet together, but being alone seems to be more in line with the fans' impression of him-of course, except for the former group fans.

The host of the red carpet part was the well-known sweetheart princess in the circle. When he saw him walking over, he jokingly squeezed his face lightly, saying that he was helping the fans to verify whether the little highness woke up today.Qiao Mingxi got goosebumps when she stretched out her hand, but she didn't show any strange expression on her face, and smiled friendly when she withdrew her hand.

After signing, they entered the venue. Apart from the artists and the media, there were only a small group of strictly screened fans.After Qiao Mingxi entered, two girls with very complete shooting equipment ran over, happily calling "Your Highness".

Qiao Mingxi recognized one of the girls and often came to take pictures of her, but she was actually a so-called "fan head".

"Your Highness is super handsome today!" The girl smiled, and raised the camera without saying a word, "Don't move, I'll take some pictures for you."

Qiao Mingxi walked a few steps to the side corner with them, obediently let them take a lot of pictures, the artist had arranged seats, he asked Xiao Yan to bring two bottles of water for the two girls, and said goodbye to them Go to your place.And he knew that the two girls would take pictures of him not far away.

He was not used to staying under the camera like this before, so why did he get used to it later?

Qiao Mingxi has a little nearsightedness, but he doesn't have the habit of wearing glasses. He searched for his name with vain eyes, and was about to find a seat to sit down. The person in the seat next to him suddenly turned his head and smiled when he saw him.

"Yo, it's you."

Qiao Mingxi was stunned for a while, looking at the somewhat familiar face and pair of long legs after thinking for a few seconds, then remembered the other party's full name: "Ye Qiyuan?"

"Long time no see." Ye Qiyuan stretched out his hand to him, the two shook hands and quickly let go, Qiao Mingxi slowly sat down in his seat.

The last time he saw Ye Qiyuan was two years ago. Back then, Ye Qiyuan gave up his debut and returned to the United States, and he didn't appear again for a long time.After a long time, he heard that the other party was a music producer in the United States, and he was quite famous.Four years ago, he returned to China and participated in a music program as a tutor, and it was only then that people discovered that he had profound knowledge in music.In the past two years, he has been working behind the scenes like Yi Huan, but he has always been a mentor, and his status is much higher than Yi Huan who was born as an idol.

Thinking about how he was in the same group of trainees as Yi Huan before, his fate is really so unpredictable.

Ye Qiyuan exchanged pleasantries with Qiao Mingxi for a while, and Qiao Mingxi answered whatever he asked. The two sat for a while, and suddenly there was a small commotion at the entrance, presumably another popular artist came in.

Qiao Mingxi was bored waiting, so she followed Ye Qiyuan's gaze and looked back, and at a glance, Ji Yan and Huang Yao's artist came in together.

Qiao Mingxi turned her head quietly.

As soon as Ji Yan entered the venue, he saw Qiao Mingxi, and saw that the other party turned his head away immediately after seeing him, so he pretended not to see him, and took pictures with fans and the media before taking a seat.

There were several rows of chairs and an entire corridor between them, but at this time people had not yet arrived, and through the empty chairs, he could see a small part of Qiao Mingxi's profile from a distance.

Still like that, quiet and lonely.

Shen Jiaen, Lin Zining, and Yi Huan also came soon. Their agents were still in Dongxing, and their seats were not far from Qiao Mingxi.

After Lin Zining took his seat, he looked around and saw that there was no camera looking at him for a while, so he took out a small bag of biscuits from the inside pocket of his suit like a thief.

Shen Jiaen in the front row turned her head inadvertently, and rolled her eyes when she saw him stealing biscuits from the side: "You didn't eat?"

"Don't roll your eyes, you will be photographed." Lin Zining spoke inarticulately, and handed the biscuit to Shen Jiaen, "Do you want to eat?"

"... Forget it, I can't bear to share yours." Shen Jiaen adjusted his expression, and made a dignified smile, but his mouth was not polite, "Alian hasn't given you a few meals?"

Lin Zining immediately complained: "Don't talk about it, I just ran an interview, and it was more than an hour later than the expected time, so I didn't have time to eat at all. And it's not like you don't know the process of these parties, you will be hungry for hours. "

Before Shen Jiaen spoke, Qiao Mingxi, who was not far away, heard the conversation between the two, and subconsciously glanced back.Lin Zining stared blankly at Qiao Mingxi's calm gaze, and remembered what happened in the south a few days ago.

He hesitated, but finally leaned forward and passed the biscuit in his hand: "Axi, do you want to eat?"

In fact, Qiao Mingxi also remembered the matter of shutting Lin Zining out that day. He seldom loses his temper with others. Seeing Lin Zining now, he actually felt a little guilty.After staring at the other party's slender fingers for a while, he still stretched out his hand.

"Thank you."

The surrounding flashes flickered a few times, and the picture was taken.

The content of the media night is very rich. The host is the little sweetheart princess on the red carpet just now and the respected variety show host brother in the circle. In addition to the long series of awards, there are also guest performances between each session .

The representative of this year's group performance is u-boy, which debuted a year ago. It is a youth group with an average age of only 16 years old. personal.

They also won the "Most Potential Team" award tonight, but in fact, in today's entertainment industry, there are as many idol teams as there are crucian carp in the river, and there are very few who can really become popular.In a short period of time, almost no idol team can replicate the glory of c.air.

The awards for the entire gala didn't have much surprises. The "Most Popular Actress" was nothing more than Diva Yin Yi and the new generation Xiaohua Duan Qianqian; the "Most Popular Actor" was given to Xue Qiao, who has been gaining momentum recently.

Ji Yan unexpectedly won three awards. He was dressed very simply today, but when he stepped up the stage with long legs, he was still so handsome that the fans couldn't stop screaming.

The host was joking as usual, Qiao Mingxi looked at Ji Yan on the stage, knowing that the live camera would definitely be aimed at him, he didn't know what to do to make a good expression.

In the past, the five members of c.air received awards together. He always stood beside Ji Yan. Looking at him offstage, it was different from now, at least his eyes were bright back then, as if they would glow.

Hearing Ji Yan's decent speech, he felt that the camera left him, so he closed his eyes and slowly lowered his head.
