Chapter 54: Character Design
Looking at the phone, there are many forums where there are many Chi Kyung-won himself, as well as EXO's fans who are spontaneously promoting his new play.
EXO's attention before its debut in Peninsula was very high, and there were many fans, but because Team K did not develop smoothly after its debut on Peninsula, it was wildly ridiculed by fans of many companies' predecessor groups and fans of the boy group that debuted at the same time.
Although EXO-K said that his debut was not very smooth, the main reason was because of the style of the title song and the design of the costumes, in fact, the members of the group are very charismatic, after all, it is a large boy group relaunched by SM Company for seven years, and each member can be said to be the essence of the company's trainees.
Especially among them, it is Chi Jingyuan, a fan absorber, who alone has raised the number of fans of the entire group to a higher level.
So there are actually a lot of die-hard fans of the EXO group, and many fans like them not because they have good songs, but just because they are handsome or have other personal charms.
They were ridiculed by the crowd for their debut so unfavorably, and without receiving notice, the sales of their debut mini album recently reached nearly 180,000 copies, which has proved this.
This is already a sales volume that most group groups in the peninsula have not reached, and the top boy band Bigbang's fifth mini album "ALIVE" released in March has sold 270,000 copies.
Of course, bigbang or YG's groups are mainly music sources and popularity, and they are not known for their sales.
But it can also illustrate something.
At present, among all the boy groups that have released albums on the Peninsula this year, only SJ, TVXQ, BIGbang and other top first-line boy groups can sell higher than EXO, and below them is EXO.
However, sales are only one of the indicators to evaluate whether a group is popular, not the whole story. Other indicators including music sources, national recognition, popularity, YouTube clicks, commercial performance prices, pan-popularity, etc., they are all inadequate.
However, this is also the reason why SM is still optimistic about the EXO combination, although it is temporarily refrigerated, and they can easily attract die-hard fans who are willing to spend money for them. proves that this debut is unsatisfactory only because the song is not good, not the person.
This time, Ji Jingyuan starred as the leading actor in the TV series, which made all the fans who had been diving for a long time float up.
These fans are posting everywhere on major forums, giving people Amway Chi Jingyuan and the new drama "Please Answer 1997" and the group EXO, which can be said to be very motivated.
Basically, during this time, they can be seen in major forums.
Although this did achieve some publicity effect, it was also easy to arouse the disgust of passers-by and fans of other groups, and there were fierce conflicts on many forums.
Ji Jingyuan saw a post on a forum, and the meal of another group was annoyed by these propaganda, and specially posted a post scolding him and EXO, while his fans frantically maintained him below, and several people sprayed each other at high intensity from night to early morning.
Elsewhere, too, the battle at the forum continues.
The company also didn't give a penny to the fans, and that's how these fans generate electricity for love.
In addition to your parents and family, the fan base is really unconditional and does not ask for anything in return.
"Jingyuan, what are you looking at?"
Yin Zhiyuan took a small electric fan, walked to Chi Jingyuan's side, found a stool and sat down.
"Brother Zhiyuan, I'm watching some news."
Chi Jingyuan glanced at the visitor and said hello with a smile.
Yin Zhiyuan also played a major role in "Please Answer 1997", Dao Xuecan, and had a lot of rivalry with Ji Jingyuan.
This brother is very interesting in private, and he is a little childish, and his family conditions are also very good, when he first met, he seemed to know some of Chi Jingyuan's family background, and when Chi Jingyuan bowed and greeted him, he was quite kind.
Later, after getting acquainted, I found that the hobbies of the two are also somewhat similar, they both like to play games, and they usually chat very happily, which can be regarded as relatively familiar.
This brother is already relatively old, and he has no competition with Chi Jingyuan at all, so he gets along more casually.
Another main character in the crew, Li Haoyuan's male idol group infinite, has a very obvious competitive relationship with EXO, the two are also male idols, a protagonist and a supporting role, it is difficult to get acquainted, and joining the crew together for so many days is to meet and say hello, and the smile is still very business.
Unless it is a girl who really attracts his attention, Chi Jingyuan generally does not take the initiative to have a relationship with others, and he will not refuse with a cold face when it comes to other people's overtures, which is a passive social interaction.
Unless he really likes, or hates someone.
Yin Zhiyuan's facial features are a little childish, and he looks young after covering up the wrinkles and slightly yellow skin on his face with makeup, which can be seen from the fact that he was born in 78 and can now play a high school student with Chi Jingyuan, who was born in 94.
"Hey, what's the point of watching the news, what's the interesting thing lately, that's what I say every day."
Yin Zhiyuan leaned over and said, "The Monster Hunter 3G you recommended to me last time, I bought one after I went back, it's quite interesting, it's just too difficult." ”
"Brother Zhiyuan, aren't you a game master?"
Chi Jingyuan looked at him suspiciously.
"Oops, that's all a character design, a character design, did you make your debut on the first day? The company's publicity like this will make fans feel more powerful. If you like to play games, it doesn't mean that you are a master of the game, you also like to play, is your level very high?. ”
He waved his hand and looked at Chi Jingyuan with a new look.
"Well, it's not very powerful, but it's okay." Ji Jingyuan thought about it and replied.
"You see, that's ......"
Yin Zhiyuan pointed at Chi Jingyuan with the expression of an experienced person, and asked inquiringly: "That hammer is too difficult to use, and my second boss is stuck." ”
"Then why don't you just change your weapon?"
"Which do you think is better?"
"If you want to say something that works......"
The two of them took advantage of the rest time, and they didn't memorize the lines or understand the characters, so they discussed the game unscrupulously.
"Why are you so happy to talk about?"
Zheng Endi didn't know where he came from, and his eyes were smiling.
"Why are you here again? Do you know how to play games? ”
Ji Jingyuan squinted at her.
"If you can't play, you can't listen?" Zheng Endi broke the gong in a second, and his eyes widened angrily.
"Inside, you don't know how to play and don't deserve to listen, you don't understand a word, what are you doing there?"
Chi Jingyuan looked over with disdain and nodded.
"Smack."
Zheng Eundi slapped him directly on the thigh, making a crisp sound.
"Hiss......" Chi Jingyuan took a breath and rolled his eyes.
The force control is really good, the sound is quite loud, but it doesn't hurt.
After this wild girl in the countryside of Busan got acquainted, she didn't treat herself as an outsider, and it seems that she brought the character of Cheng Shiyuan to reality.
However, Zheng Endi also knows very well in her heart, she has a good grasp of the scale, she can reflect closeness and will not make people feel disgusted, and the crew likes her very much.
This is also a reflection of Zheng Endi's cleverness, and it can only be said that there is a reason for his success.
After a while, several people talked about the upcoming TV series, which will be officially broadcast in less than two weeks, but in fact, many people in the crew are worried.
