ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β
In the practice room of EXO, the other 11 members surrounded the city in a circle, and Ji Jingyuan led five dance teachers to dance the two songs twice in a row in front of them.
At first, the members were all sitting on the floor watching, but by halfway through the meeting, everyone had already stood up and started to parrot along with excitement.
It is said that many dances can be danced at a glance, and kai can already be danced decently by the end.
"Handsome!"
"This choreographer is so handsome."
After dancing twice, everyone applauded vigorously, and it was clear that they were all satisfied with the choreography of these two songs.
Hearing the praise of the members, Ji Jingyuan smiled and waved his hand, and after temporarily turning off the accompaniment, he sent the lyrics and music scores that the company had already divided into parts and sent them to everyone.
After the choreography of the two songs is completed, the company has already divided the parts of each member with reference to the division of lyrics and the proportion of C position in the choreographed dance.
Of course, it can't be evenly distributed, and there will be a lot more shots of the main members naturally showing their faces and C positions, and some will also arrange some killing parts for a certain member.
And some members who don't pay attention to it, or want to suppress it, almost the whole song doesn't have a few frontal shots, and there are no two lines in the singing section, standing behind and dancing the whole time, it's not too much to say that it's a backup dancer.
Uneven division is an important tool for companies to control the uneven popularity of their members.
People who show a lot of faces, have handsome shapes, and have a killing part are of course more likely to attract fans.
Standing in the back row, there is no C position, and the members of the styling general are naturally not concerned.
Of course, it's not absolute, and sometimes there are some surprises.
From the emergence of "Wolf", to the soaring popularity of all members of "Roaring Filial Piety", to today, the popularity of all members of EXO so far has basically been somewhat fixed.
First of all, Chi Jingyuan is as stable as Mount Tai's first, and the second most popular member of the fault fault is at least a few grades behind him.
Originally, after "Roaring Filial Piety" came out, the other members rushed to catch up, which made Ji Jingyuan's lead drop significantly, but after the broadcast of "The Inheritors", his popularity once again jumped up like a rocket, especially in Asia, and the popularity of many members is difficult for many members to match.
Coupled with the just-launched "Some", it is another powerful popularity booster.
What's more, because of the success of Ji Jingyuan's continuous career as an actor, and the songs "Roaring Filial Piety" and "Some" that he personally produced exo, he is no longer an ordinary idol in the minds of many fans and passers-by, and his coffee position and forced style have been significantly higher.
Many big-name manufacturers and advertising companies are very fond of him, and it is a good proof that they want to ask him to shoot advertisements or be a spokesperson alone.
In addition to part of the reason for Chi Jingyuan's background, the excellent image, the recognition of the public and the excellent advertising effect are all important factors.
And after Chi Jingyuan's big top, it is the popularity of EXO, led by Luhan who is the main promoter of the M team, because he is the main promoter of the M team, the company has always given a lot of resources, and because of his excellent appearance and balanced strength, whether it is in the peninsula or in the Xia Kingdom, he is second only to Chi Jingyuan's popular members.
Although it is said to be second only to it, it is actually quite far behind.
In addition to Luhna, there are also Park Chanyeol and Oh Se-hoon of the K team in the upper circle, and the resources of these two are actually not much, purely because of their outstanding appearance to attract fans.
Especially Wu Shixun, in all of his exo songs, each song basically only has one or two words, and there are few C-position shots, but just by relying on a handsome face, his popularity remains high, and he has always been firmly in the top circle of popularity.
"Deceived Kangxi"
Then there are the people in the median circle, Baehyun, Kai, Xiumin and several other people promoted by the K team are among them.
There are a few others at the bottom that I won't mention.
It is necessary for each group to have the most popular members to attract attention and drive the whole team. But in fact, the company doesn't like a certain popularity to be too prominent, so it often uses some means to average the popularity of the group members.
Chi Jingyuan can't be controlled by them, but other members are often affected.
The members each took the score and looked at the parts that had been divided with different expressions.
As long as you are enterprising, you naturally want to sing a few words and show your face, but unfortunately this kind of thing is decided by the company, and there is little room for them to negotiate.
Leaving them a period of time to read the lyrics and scores, and by the way, to sort out their happy or unhappy moods, after a while, Ji Jingyuan clapped his hands and began to demonstrate to them the movements that had been broken down little by little with the dance teacher.
While demonstrating, he was still talking about the key points to pay attention to: "The most important thing in the dance of "DOPE" is explosiveness, which should give people a sense of strength. β
"The second is that the speed of the action must be fast, clean and neat, and the rhythm must be beat, follow the beat and lyrics ......"
"This song is a little different from our previous songs, the style will be a little stronger, and the reaction will be ...... in the dance"
The other members were divided into two teams and stood on both sides of the practice room to learn together.
The two songs "Dope" and "I Need U" do not have a combined dance, only a six-person version of the choreography, and the dances of the K and M teams are exactly the same, but the dancers are different.
According to the division of Part, the most C position on Team K's side is Chi Jingyuan, and the one who jumps to the same position as Chi Jingyuan on Team M's side is Luhan.
His cold seems to have healed, and he looks much more energetic than a few days ago, and he doesn't have a black face like he often blackened some time ago, talking and laughing while learning.
It's just that the Xia Guo line on the M team, except for Luhan, Tao and Lay's faces are a little not very good, and it is estimated that the part weight of the song does not meet the standard in their hearts.
It's the same with a couple of guys from Team K.
But no one cares.,This kind of thing has been encountered several times.,Every time there is a new song part, it will come once or twice.,I've long been used to it.γ
They are very proficient in the dance of "Overdose", the recording work has been completed, and all other preparations except for the MV shooting are almost finished.
The focus of the next few days will be on these two songs, dance practice, recording and music video shooting. According to the scheduled return date, the time is still relatively tight.
Many members also temporarily suppressed all kinds of thoughts in their hearts and entered the work state, learning new dances over and over again with Chi Jingyuan, and worked overtime until late at night.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Taeyeon, what are you listening to?"
Huang Meiying walked into the dormitory, first glanced at the shoe cabinet at the door, estimated in her heart that a few members had not come back, and then changed her shoes and walked into the living room.
At a glance, she saw Kim Taeyeon with her legs curled up on the sofa, holding a pillow and wearing headphones, walked over and sat next to her, stretched out her tired and sore feet because of wearing high heels for a day, and kept massaging them with her hands, and at the same time leaned next to Kim Taeyeon and asked curiously.
"Kyungwon's New Song ......"
Kim Taeyeon took off the earphones on one side and replied, and as soon as she finished speaking, she saw Hwang Miying's movements in the afterglow of her eyes, slanted her glance and pouted in disgust, and moved her ass twice to the side, away from this imageless woman, for fear that her hand wiping her feet would rub herself, and at the same time snorted softly and said:"
"You still know to come back, I thought you wouldn't be back in the dormitory today...... It's about to return, and it's like this every day, and I don't know if I think we're on vacation. β
Listening to Kim Taeyeon's tone, it was obvious that she was a little dissatisfied with the late return of her members.
"I'm exhausted...... Oops, Nikun finally came back from Neon, of course I'm going to meet him...... I came back in the evening. β
Huang Meiying rubbed her feet, put them on her nose and smelled them, then squinted and followed Kim Taeyeon twice, and explained with a smile, her tone didn't care very much.
"And didn't Xiuying come back either, why didn't our Jin Leader talk about her?"
"Cut, I've really grown up."
Kim Taeyeon shook her head and didn't bother to pay attention to her, so she didn't answer.
She has a very close relationship with Huang Meiying, and there is nothing wrong with expressing dissatisfaction directly, but Cui Xiuying is different, sometimes she can't be so direct when she communicates.
As Girls' Generation debuts longer and longer, the members are getting bigger and bigger, their private affairs are getting more and more, and their personalities are getting stronger and stronger, not to mention her as the captain, and even the company is not very easy to manage now.
Taeyeon pursed her lips again, not wanting to dwell on the question, put on the headphones she had just taken off, and prepared to continue listening to the beautiful songs.
"I'm going to hear it too!" Seeing this, Huang Meiying directly reached out and snatched the earphones on one side and put them in her ears, facing Kim Tae-yeon's disgusted eyes and symbolic pushing movements because her hand had just touched her feet, Huang Meiying waved her indifferently, and the two of them listened closely.
Taeyeon fought back to no avail, so she could only look at her hatefully and let it go.
After the two listened for a while, Huang Meiying took the initiative to speak: "When I came back from the car just now, I heard this song playing in the store...... I also heard them say in the afternoon, this song seems to have a particularly good sound source score? β
"Well, all the lists are empty, and the music source has been broken many times since it was released, and it has a lot of stamina to look at the trend, and it is a song with a good reputation among passers-by that is rare in our company."
Kim Taeyeon has obviously learned about it, and she talks about some of the achievements after the release of "some".
"That's a really good result, we don't seem to have such a good song as the sound source, Ji Jingyuan is really amazing......"
Huang Meiying sighed when she heard this, and then looked at Taeyeon with a wicked smile: "You pay so much attention to this song, is it because you sang the dome?" β
"Of course not, it's because we're coming back soon, and it seems that if we want this song "some" to hit the right one, as the biggest competitor, we must pay attention to it, and ......"
"Yikes!"
Kim Taeyeon didn't look at her, and said it confidently, but her face became more and more ruddy in Hwang Mi-young's narrow eyes, and finally she couldn't make it up anymore and shouted, hit her head on the pillow, and hit her head several times in a row as if venting her unhappiness, and then buried her face deeply.
"Hahaha......"
Seeing Taeyeon's appearance, Hwang Mi-young laughed out loud without any sisterly gloating, and before laughing twice, Taeyeon gritted her teeth and lifted the pillow and smashed her head a few times before surrendering.
She liked this song very much when she recorded the demo before, and now that she sees that "Some" has such a good result, it will obviously give a great boost to the career of Bae Xiuzhi, who cooperates with Ji Jingyuan, and there will naturally be some other emotions in her heart.
It's like, 'If you change me, it will definitely be much better than Bae so-ji's singing.'"
Or if I had asked for it and had been more urgent, maybe I would have sung it.
Of course, she is also so old and mature, knowing that those thoughts are meaningless, but her heart is a little complicated, and she can't help but pay attention to the song "Some".
In addition, the sound source results of this song are really a bit terrifying, and they have not seen a few songs with such explosive power in so many years since their debut.
After arguing for a while, the two sat together again, chatting about the hot new song of Ji Jingyuan and Pei Xiuzhi, and couldn't help but feel a little worried about their upcoming return.
"The results of this return are very important to us, there were no strong competitors, but I didn't expect a cooperation song to pop up suddenly, really, I don't know how the company arranged it......"
Huang Meiying leaned on the sofa, a little dissatisfied with the company's arrangement.
"Hey Yigu, you love coffees who are about to return and don't return at night will also care about our results?"
"So you know we're not in a good situation right now, right? I thought you didn't know. β
Kim Taeyeon glanced at her and said sarcastically, and then put her head on the pillow, obviously worried:
"Let's hope it goes well this time......"
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Since the official release of the sound source of "Some" on February 21, after a week of song promotion and word of mouth from all fans and passers-by who like this song, this collaboration song by Ji Kyung-won and Bae Su-ji has become a new trend in the Peninsula song industry.
Seoul is a trendy city, and if you pass by some of the most crowded and bustling business districts, listen to the music coming from the storefronts next to you, and you will know which song is the hottest in the peninsula music scene right now.
In the second half of last year, it was "Roaring Filial Piety", and now it is "Some", this ambiguous love song sung by men and women has now become the new favorite of most stores on the peninsula, especially those related to goods and couples.
While being widely acclaimed, "Some" has been extremely dazzling in terms of music source results, and has never lost the first place in the GEINE chart since it landed on the music source charts.
In the data chart of the Melon list, it is also constantly breaking the table, impacting the records of various music sources in a very short period of time.
In just one week, the song "Some" has achieved results in terms of sound source, which can be regarded as the most brilliant song among all the songs of SM company.
And judging from the curve, this song is still full of stamina, and the results and popularity have been constantly fermenting and rising.
There are already many people who have put the title of 'Divine Comedy' on the head of "Some".
JYP, who has been a little embarrassed, was naturally overjoyed, and was extremely surprised by the results of this first week, and quickly increased the investment of resources, and SM, who had been a little sluggish before, also turned back at this time and joined JYP to contribute to the publicity again.
Entering the second week, Yuan&Suzy published a report on February 27 in M! won their first place trophy.
Interestingly, before one trophy was awarded, "M! C played the teaser VCR of Girls' Generation's return next week, and it also made Ji Jingyuan, who was watching the screen on stage, smile in his heart.
still bumped into these seniors when I was young, and I don't know if Sister Taeyeon's boasting of Haikou at that time was that Ji Jingyuan couldn't get it one by one.
Looking at the current momentum of "some", it seems a little difficult.
What's even more interesting is that the two candidates competing for one place today, in addition to Ji Jingyuan, are Li Xuanmei, who recorded the first stage with them last week.
When the awards were presented, the two groups of artists stood in the middle of the MC, and when the MC announced a winner, Ji Jingyuan glanced over there and saw Li Xuanmei pursing her lips, with a helpless smile on her face, and she always felt a little familiar.
took over a trophy from the hands of the latest fixed MC in this issue, and after Ji Jingyuan observed it, it was passed to Pei Xiuzhi's hands,
It is worth mentioning that after the long-term MC Kim Woo-bin of the February 13th issue got off the bus, this issue of "M! "C" has a new fixed MC, actor Ahn Jae-hyun, and Blue's member Jung Joon-young.
The former is okay, Ji Jingyuan is not very familiar, and Zheng Junying in the back is the person who was a little unpleasant when he saw the first time he participated in the archery competition of the "Idol Games", and for some reason he always felt a little yin with the other party's smile, and he was a little unhappy when he saw it both horizontally and vertically.
However, there was no intersection Ji Jingyuan didn't care, this issue Zheng Junying came to the practice room for an interview, and took the initiative to say hello enthusiastically, and it seemed that he was very familiar with Park Chanyeol in his words, and he looked like he wanted to get closer to Ji Jingyuan.
However, Chi Jingyuan didn't respond at all, and after a few perfunctory words of business, the other party also saw it and didn't entangle, turned around and aimed at Pei Xiuzhi, and greeted him warmly, saying a few witty words Pei Xiuzhi covered his mouth and laughed, his big eyes sparkling.
It's just that after they left after the interview, as soon as the door of the lounge was closed, Pei Xiuzhi, who was laughing non-stop just now, immediately stopped, she and Chi Jingyuan glanced at each other, their faces were helpless, and they had an expression of 'people in the rivers and lakes', and Chi Jingyuan, who was watching, couldn't help but chuckle and shook his head.
"Thank you very much to the program team for giving us such an honorary award, thank you to Mr. Lee so-man, President Kim Young-min......"
Taking one is not at all as exciting for him now as it was in the Wolf era, and what he had dreamed of for a long time now feels a little bit flattened.
Taking over the microphone, Chi Jingyuan smiled and made a speech, and thanked Li Xiuman in a formulaic way.
This was originally a job that belonged to Kim Junmian, and he didn't have any sense of rustiness at this time, and after saying it, he handed the microphone to Bae Xiuzhi, who also started with Park Jinying and thanked him again.
When they arrived at the encore stage, Ji Jingyuan and Bae Xiuzhi stood at the front of the stage, and before they could open their mouths after the prelude sounded, the audience below sang in unison.
"Occasionally, I'll be irritable for no reason."
"Obviously there is no change to your new ......"
The popularity of this song is really too wide, and it has only been a little over a week, and the audience has basically all sung it.
Hearing the chorus below that was not very neat, but the voice was very loud and enthusiastic, Chi Jingyuan was stunned for a moment, laughed happily, and after taking a look at Pei Xiuzhi, he picked up the microphone and began to harmonize, singing a sentence from time to time to set off the atmosphere, and finally bowed and saluted in a warm atmosphere and loud cheers, ending this encore stage.
"Are you so busy these days?"
On the way back to the backstage lounge, Pei Xiuzhi followed behind him and asked curiously.
Recently, Chi Jingyuan will leave as soon as the itinerary of each temporary combination is over, it seems that the time is very urgent, and according to Pei Xiuzhi's observation, she feels that Ji Jingyuan's face has not looked very good in the past two days, and she looks like she has not had a good rest.
"In addition to the itinerary with you, I also have to prepare for our XO's comeback album, this time I also wrote a few songs, choreographed the choreography, and the company's schedule is very urgent......"
Hearing this, Chi Jingyuan turned his head to look at her, sighed and complained twice: "And there are more and more trips between me and you, and the new advertisements are waiting in line for shooting, I don't know when I will be busy." β
"Haven't you missa been doing anything lately?"
"What do you think?" Bae Xiuzhi tilted his head to look at Ji Jingyuan.
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β
Chi Jingyuan nodded knowingly and didn't ask more.
The situation of the combination of missa Pei Xiuzhi told her once before, and it was quite complicated.
While chatting, while returning to the lounge, Chi Jingyuan packed up his things, picked up his shoulder bag and said goodbye: "Go first, see you tomorrow." β
"Well, I'll see you tomorrow."
Pei Xiuzhi smiled and waved his hand, and watched Chi Jingyuan and his party walk out of the practice room and close the door before retracting their gaze.
"Suzy, this is an advertising offer that the company just approached for you, take a look at ......"
At this time, her agent walked to the side, handed over a bag of documents, opened it and explained......
β¦β¦β¦β¦
From the 17th's "M! From the 18th to the 18th, the 19th and 20th to the Music Center, and the Popular Ballads, yuan&suzy swept a trophy in all the singing stages this week.
Especially in this issue of "Music Bank", "some" ranked first in the winning score of all the songs in this year's "Music Silver" with a record score of 10,980.
You must know that "Some" did not sell a physical album, and won the first place this year with a sales score of zero, which shows how explosive the song's music source and other achievements are.
In addition to "Shoion", which was suspended this week, Ji Jingyuan and Bae Xiuzhi took four places in a row and directly swept all the singing programs this week
"Yuan Xi, what do you think of the song "Some"?"
At this time, Ji Jingyuan and Bae Xiuzhi were participating in an interview arranged by a company together, and a reporter asked a question that left him a little speechless.
He has answered this question many times, and these people don't change their dressings.
Chi Jingyuan sighed in his heart, still maintaining a warm smile on his face:
"The title of the song 'some' is taken from the first half of the English word 'something', which means 'some' things that happen between men and women, that is, some things."
"The title of the song can also be literally translated as "Ambiguous".
"The lyrics of this song express the feelings of a man and a woman before they actually date, conveying a pure but eager love and eagerness when a man and a woman have a crush on each other."
Pei Xiuzhi held a microphone and kept smiling next to her, she was actually a bit similar to Chi Jingyuan, she was not a person who liked to be interviewed, every time she encountered this kind of thing, she hid next to Chi Jingyuan, grinning and smiling.
"Inside." The reporter nodded, then looked at the notebook and asked again:
"There are a lot of fans who leave messages, they want to know how Yuan Xi created such a song that depicts the ambiguity of men and women, and the lyrics are so apt, is it because they have had this experience?"
