Chapter Ninety-Seven: Return to the Plan

In just two days, the emotions of everyone in the entire crew were like riding a roller coaster, and the change was so fast that people couldn't react at all.

The day before, I fell to the bottom because the ratings did not rise but fell, and the next day I jumped directly for the sudden increase in ratings.

Although 14.9% is a very obvious increase compared to the previous three episodes, it is actually not a very high number, and even the minimum ratings of "The Sun of the Lord" have not been reached.

However, when Ji Jingyuan was looking through the online discussions, he keenly felt that the praise for "Inheritors" in the message was gradually increasing, especially many people were saying that although the previous plot was a bit clichΓ©, these episodes showed something different in addition to the traditional idol drama, looking forward to the follow-up development and the like, instead of blindly slandering and complaining.

Excluding those trolls who are black for the sake of black because they hate EXO and Ji Jingyuan from the bottom of their hearts, passers-by have a high opinion of Jin Si played by him, even if the follow-up plot has not been carried out, but the role he interpreted in the first four episodes alone left a deep impression on people, and it is basically the most praised and recognized among all the actors in these episodes.

In a film and television forum, a long comment with the highest likes reads:

"After watching the first four episodes, I don't want to discuss the plot, it's meaningless."

"Let's talk about the actors, what impressed me the most was the actor Chi Jingyuan, and the Jin Si he played is really the most similar one among all the chaebol second generation in the TV series I have watched."

"His image is not performed by relying on an unstoppable arrogant expression, or set off by big-name clothes and the luxurious environment around him, but the kind of temperament from the inside out and the expression that conforms to the character setting, all kinds of small movements, small eyes, and small habits come easily, giving people the feeling that he is really Jin Si himself, not acted."

"In the first few episodes, his role in that amazing luxury villa was so natural, so natural that it was casual, and it felt like he had lived here for a long time......"

"Chi Jingyuan's family conditions in reality should be very good, right? Are there any fans of EXO or Yuan to popularize science, I didn't know before I was a passerby...... His appearance and temperament are really too unique. I can only say that with the feeling he gives people in the play, even if he is wearing a rag sack and standing in front of me in embarrassment, I will never think of him as a beggar, but as a runaway son. ”

In addition to being liked by EXO fans, this long comment has also been recognized by quite a few passers-by, and it was directly topped to the top of the forum. More and more clicks and comments.

But no one can answer the questions he raised in the long comment, Ji Jingyuan has never exposed his family background since his debut, but when the members chatted in some talk shows, it was revealed that he was not short of money, and he often invited guests to dinner, but that's all, nothing more in-depth.

So even the most die-hard Yuan fan can't tell his specific family conditions, only that the conditions should be good.

The expectations and praise that began to emerge on the Internet gave the crew a shot in the arm with this big increase in ratings, slightly dispelled some of the gloom that had been oppressing people for a few days, and also made the actors and creators all cheer up and work harder.

After all, there seemed to be hope, and the prospect suddenly seemed to brighten.

…………

In a conference room on the fourth floor of the SM company building, 11 people who had returned to the peninsula from Xia Guo a few days ago, plus Ji Jingyuan, who specially asked the crew for leave to come back for a meeting, all the members of EXO were present, listening to the company's latest arrangements for them.

"Because of the popularity of the regular re-release album, the popularity of XO has completely exploded, and both popularity and sales have far exceeded our previous expectations, so the company has decided to take this opportunity to bring you back again."

"After much discussion, the company has developed XO's latest comeback plan, which is expected to release a new winter special album in early December, titled "December Miracle".

"This special album will be released in the form of a mini-album, a total of 5 songs, the overall concept is 'let all fans and listeners feel warm even in the cold winter', the title song of the same name "December Miracle" is a well-known European and American composer commissioned by the company to compose, is a sensual piano melody and beautiful orchestral sound combination, while highlighting the pop line of a lyrical style of song."

The members were all excited when they heard this, and the return is a good thing for every group, proving their popularity and value, as artists who rely on exposure and popularity as the pillars of survival, no one wants to pick their feet at home for a long time.

Although EXO's schedule is very busy now, the busier it is, the more popular it is, and the members can only say that they are in pain and happy.

It's just that the next words of the company manager who is announcing the plan made many people change color a little:

"Because of the style of the songs on this album, all of them are lyrical songs, so after research, the company decided that this time it will not be all returned."

The returning members are Yuan,.,, Luhan and Baekhyun, all of whom are vocal members, and the company believes that they will be able to maximize the charm of this special album featuring lyrical songs.

The five included tracks are all divided into two versions, the Korean version is recorded by Yuan, and the Hakyun version is recorded by Yuan, Luhan, and Baekhyun. The singing stage was also performed by a few of you, and the other members were only involved in the filming of the promotional poster and part of the music video. ”

"All the preparatory work has been completed, and it is expected that the project will start in earnest the day after tomorrow."

"The specific work schedule has been sent to your agent, are there any other questions?"

Except for a few lead singers who were named to participate, the expressions of the other members were a little unsightly, and Park Chanyeol and Kim Jong-in were the most obvious, and after listening to it, they lowered their heads and frowned, as if they didn't hear it.

Kim Junmian opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't speak.

Although I am very dissatisfied and a little incomprehensible, the company has already decided on things, and they actually have no room for opposition, even if EXO is popular now, but the debut time is still a little short after all, and the qualifications are too shallow.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Head Nim, do I need to participate in both versions of the recording? And now the crew's shooting task is very heavy, and I don't know ...... about the song in December."

Chi Jingyuan raised his hand at this time and said his problem.

"Jingyuan, because you joined the group a little late, the planning department has always been a little vague about your positioning, and there is no definite responsibility except for busyness."

"And after understanding your strength, the company decided to let you position yourself as a vocal in the group in the future, and it just so happens that Team K is now the official lead singer only. A ...... alone This return is an opportunity to show. ”

"And because of your Xia Wen level and considering your popularity in Xia Kingdom, both versions of the recording require your participation."

"We also know your situation, so if the filming time is tight, you don't need to participate in the singing stage."

"Ne, I see, Consanmida."

Ji Jingyuan nodded and didn't say anything more.
