Chapter 30 Meeting
Lee Seung-hwan was called away after returning to the company with Ji Kyung-won, and Ji Kyung-won didn't have any activities to leave today, so he returned to EXO's practice room.
At this time, EXO-K in the practice room except for Park Chanyeol, the other four people were there, I don't know whose mobile phone was playing on the floor, and they were dancing "History", everyone was dancing very hard, and every time they stepped on the floor, there was a muffled sound as if they were venting, but overall it was not very neat, although it was the same song, it looked very messy, and the dance posture of each beat was not aligned.
Sweat drips on the ground and is torn apart in the blink of an eye, and the practice room is filled with the sound of "History" music and dancing, but it doesn't feel lively, but rather a silence that comes up from the bottom of my heart.
Chi Jingyuan was discovered as soon as he walked into the practice room, he keenly felt the atmosphere in the room, pursed his lips and walked to the corner and sat down, looking at a few people who were practicing, holding his mobile phone and flipping it unintentionally.
"Congratulations on your debut! Rough Kahamida, envy me to death......"
"I watched your stage, and I feel very good, it's not as it says on the Internet, Fighting!"
"Several stages of the EXO-K team are very good, and many trainees in the company like them very much."
“Fighting……”
This is a few messages that Jiang Shiqi has sent him in the past few days, and he was still very happy when he made his debut to congratulate, but as the wind on the Internet became more and more wrong, although she still sent text messages every few days to contact, the content and wording of the text messages were becoming more and more cautious and cautious.
Several text messages revealed Jiang Shiqi's desire to keep in touch but was afraid of saying the wrong thing, which made Chi Jingyuan, who had not been in a good situation recently, angry. These text messages reflected her concern and little shrewdness, and Chi Jingyuan laughed in his heart.
His impression of Jiang Shiqi is still quite good, born in the same year, he laughs very silly but is actually very smart, although he has not eaten together since that day, but he often meets in the company, and he will chat every few days.
Regarding her news, Chi Jingyuan replied directly to the past, looking like he had not received the influence of the black comments at all.
To be honest, Ji Jingyuan really doesn't care about black reviews, and in fact, he hasn't been affected by anything, even if the songs are average and the group evaluation is very poor, but he hasn't received too many bad reviews, but his teammates are different.
This is the case during this time, as long as there is no announcement, the members of Team K will practice frantically in the practice room, and they will never stop until they are exhausted, every action is like venting, and the atmosphere after returning to the dormitory is not very good, full of anger, pessimism, and anxiety.
And Chi Jingyuan can only be a bystander at this time, he understands very well that he can't say anything comforting with his current situation, no matter how sincere the comfort comes from him, it will make people feel uncomfortable, and it will give people a feeling of being cheap and good.
What Chi Jingyuan can do is to remain silent, not to add fuel to the fire, and after a while, they can slowly adapt to themselves and correct their mentality.
To be honest, Ji Jingyuan feels that he can understand the mentality of his teammates and take the initiative to keep a low profile, which can be regarded as a rational manifestation of self-cultivation. Change to a person who has no eyes and likes to sit in his place, and I don't know how many times I have quarreled and fought.
If they can't adapt to it, then the company can only let them adapt, otherwise they can only be slowly eliminated.
It didn't take long for everyone to lie down on the ground with a single hand of "History", gasping for breath, but still no one spoke, and the huge floor-to-ceiling mirror reflected like four dead bodies.
Chi Jingyuan sighed, got up and walked to the side, took a few bottles of ice water and handed them to everyone, and then continued to sit in the corner and play with his mobile phone absentmindedly.
………………
At the same time, in a conference room on the fourth floor of SM Corporation, several executives and executives happened to be in a meeting to talk about the relationship with EXO.
Lee so-man and Kim Young-min were all present, and in addition to that, several departments in charge of SM were also represented. Including the record production department that grasps the market trend and reflects the singer's style, the marketing department that carries out publicity and sales, and the publicity department that contacts the media and promotes the artist.
And Lee Seung-hwan, the head of the EXO agent office who had just returned to the company, was also pulled over to observe, and when he entered, there had been a lot of noise inside.
"EXO-K was subjected to a lot of negative public opinion when it debuted, including the deliberate guidance of many sailors sent by other companies, but the publicity department did not make a strong response, allowing those black reviews to spread, and Team K is currently in this form, and the publicity aspect has to bear unshirkable responsibility......
"Before the release of the title song "MAMA" and the debut stage, the publicity plan we set up for EXO was very successful, according to the data, compared to the company's investment in promotional resources, the whole team received much more attention than expected, and some black reviews for EXO also increased their popularity......
"You should know very well in your own hearts that the reason why the attention is higher than expected is because Yuan is a member with excellent quality and amazing ability to attract fans, so he can make the popularity rise without extra resources, and this should be attributed to Director Lee so-man and President Kim Young-min, who proposed to let Yuan join the EXO project in the first place, and have nothing to do with your publicity department at all. And I've also heard that the teaser video of Yuan's debut, which brought amazing popularity and click-through rates, was based on your own opinion......"
"But no matter how the popularity comes from, the attention will not be fake, it will be real. As long as the title song of the debut album can play a certain positive role, EXO-K will definitely not be the current situation with the popularity before their debut, and excluding all comments that contain hot and malicious comments, we found that most viewers don't like to listen to the title song, and they are also very dissatisfied with the appearance of this debut, even if it is EXO-K's own fans, so ......"
Since Lee Seung-hwan entered, there was a lot of noise inside, and the whole meeting was a pot throwing conference, and each department said that it was irresponsible for the cold reception encountered by EXO-K after its debut, and said that their departments had done well enough.
In fact, the people in these departments are also experienced people who have worked in the entertainment industry for many years, and they are actually very clear about the various reasons for the situation of EXO-K in the peninsula, but the idea of seeking no merit is feasible anywhere.
"Knock knock." After they quarreled for a while, Li Xiuman, who had been listening for a long time, knocked on the table with the back of his hand, and a few muffled noises quieted the conference room.
