Chapter 19: Album Postponement

At this time, the other agents and assistants all rushed over when they saw the sudden situation, and with their help, they quickly transferred Chi Jingyuan out.

The commotion generated by EXO on the edge of the stage also aroused all the memories of the reporters in the exhibition hall, and their eyes lit up, as if they had seen a beast of fresh flesh and blood, and they quickly raised their cameras to shoot wildly, and for a while the flash swept over like a rain of arrows.

The members of EXO suddenly fainted during the event, a very good piece of hot news that is sure to cause a lot of discussion.

In particular, this member is still the hottest Yuan in the music industry recently, and "some", which has just finished playing, is still in the first place on the major music source charts, and continues to provide a lot of popularity and exposure for Chi Jingyuan every day.

Seeing the SM crowd who hurriedly left the scene, all the reporters immediately entered the working state.

Soon, a piece of news flew to the forefront of the search on search websites at an amazing speed:

"EXO member Yuan suddenly fainted during the event and was rushed to the hospital, suspected of being overtired."

There are also several pictures in the middle of the news, there are photos of SM people gathered together in a panic, and photos of Ji Jingyuan being snatched away, although they are not very clear, but you can recognize who is in it.

After this news appeared in the hot search, it immediately attracted the attention of countless people, and countless clicks immediately poured in, making its popularity ranking climb steadily, and it didn't take long to rush to the first position.

The number of various comments under the news has also skyrocketed, and many new comments are swiped out every second:

“%…… Assi bar shit SM, really%......"

"The dog company is really still this urine, and it has all kinds of oppression on its artists, Yuan has been a devil recently, right?"

"Can EXO's agent die? Can't you see that the artist is tired like this? Do you have to faint before you move? ”

"I said how did Yuan and suzy feel like they didn't open the microphone in the last week of singing, and he didn't talk much in every interview and testimonial, it turned out that there was a physical problem, and SM Company really had no humanity, so hurry up and close down."

"SM has a black life...... Hope oppa is okay. “

There are all kinds of comments, some have nothing to do with me, some are gloating, some are hilarious, and some are concerned.

But it's more of a scolding, and the scolding is naturally SM company, basically all EXO and Yuan's fans are scolding.

In fact, it is not very news that Peninsula artists faint during the event, because the pressure of the artists themselves is very great, coupled with the company's oppression, not eating much during body management, high-intensity activity schedules and other factors, the physical condition of many idols has not been very good, and basically there will be a few times every once in a while.

There are also a lot of things like SM, such as Zheng Xiujing fainted on stage more than once.

The main reason for having such a big popularity this time is that Chi Jingyuan's personal popularity and popularity are really high, and recently he is the general trend in the music industry, coupled with the identity of an actor, even people who don't pay attention to the boy group know him, and it is easy to attract the attention of passers-by as soon as the news comes out.

When this kind of news happens in other homes, you can naturally watch it happily, but of course, when it happens to your own idol, you can't bear it immediately, and the huge number of XO fans instantly smashes SM's official website and SNS.

In particular, some big fans and station sisters who are close to EXO members and can often get first-hand news also began to break the news, saying, "Recently, EXO's album preparation work is set too close because the time for the return is too close, so the time is very tight, and the members have to work overtime until two or three o'clock in the morning every day, and the members are very hard."

And Yuan's cooperation with Bae Xiuzhi was later than the other members, so there was a problem with his body, and he had a fever for a long time and he didn't get better......

After the news came out, the ancestral graves of all the managers of SM Company were raised 180 times on the Internet within half an hour, and they fluttered and danced in the sky over Seoul.

In the peninsula, as long as there is a problem with the artist, it is not wrong to scold the agency.

Just when the scolding on the Internet was boiling, Chi Jingyuan had already woken up.

…………

"It's not a big deal, it's just a fever and some other symptoms caused by a viral flu, and this time I passed out because I practiced and danced a lot in the past few days and didn't eat much."

In the special ward of Samsung Hospital in Seoul, Ji Jingyuan was sitting on the hospital bed and was receiving an infusion, while holding his mobile phone and talking about his situation with his second brother, who called immediately after knowing the news.

As he said, there is indeed no serious illness, but he has not rested well, which has caused his ordinary condition to worsen. He had woken up after being taken to the hospital by his agent, and he felt much better after the infusion.

"What you said is really easy, do you know that the eldest sister's phone call came to me just now."

Ji Jingxu was obviously relieved when he heard that there was no problem, but he was soon annoyed and began to laugh sarcastically: "And do you love your work so much, you can never leave your post despite illness and fever, is idol so addictive, why didn't you see you working so hard when you went to school?" ”

Chi Jingyuan had no way to explain to his second brother that being sick in the idol circle or something was a small problem, and he worked a lot with illness and injury.

Although they are both idols, his identity is still a little different, and the second brother will definitely not understand, or be too lazy to understand these things, so Ji Jingyuan has been listening to the other party's complaints and has not tried to explain anything.

Although the second brother's tone is not very good, and he has been spraying him and sarcastically mocking him, this kind of family care still makes him enjoy it very much.

After talking for a long time, after Chi Jingxu confirmed again that there was nothing wrong with his brother, he didn't bother to scold anymore, and said casually: "Forget it, it's okay......

"By the way, I contacted Li Xiuman before I talked to you on the phone, and the attitude and tone were not very good, which gave him some pressure."

"Forehead ......" Chi Jingyuan was a little dumbfounded.

"Although it's not a big deal, our attitude on our side still has to be put on display." Ji Jingxu said it briefly and didn't explain much, but Ji Jingyuan understood what he meant.

"yes, I see." He answered.

"Okay, you can rest for a few days, and if you don't feel comfortable living in the dormitory, go home and live."

After finishing the business, Ji Jingxu also relaxed, and finally suddenly remembered something, and his tone became weird: "By the way, the female idol who has worked with you recently seems to be very popular, do you have ......?"

"Goodbye."

Chi Jingyuan said goodbye expressionlessly, and then hung up the phone immediately.

Every time the second brother talks to him, he can't be serious for too long, and he always turns to this topic in the end, which really makes him speechless.

After the phone hung up, Chi Jingyuan's mobile phone kept ringing, all of them were friends who saw the hot search and sent messages to care about the greetings.

Not only Sunny, Taeyeon, Jung Eun-di, Jiang Shiqi and a few other relatives who are relatively close, basically as long as they exchanged contact information with Ji Jingyuan, all of them sent messages, and his mobile phone did not stop for a while.

It happened to be okay at this time, but fortunately, Chi Jingyuan took his mobile phone and replied one by one, thanking the other party for his concern.

After a while, there was a knock on the door of the room, and Lee Seung-hwan and Park Jae-hyun walked in together, and after seeing that Ji Jingyuan was in a good state, Lee Seung-hwan exhaled and said with some fear: "It's okay, it really scared me just now." ”

"The next time you encounter this situation, you can't do it, just now Director Chi called me and scolded me."

"Jingyuan, you really ...... this time Even if you don't have much time to rest, you still have to eat, just now the doctor said that vertigo is not enough rest, because you haven't eaten well. “

Park Jae-hyun said with a wry smile, walked to the side and poured a glass of water and handed it to Ji Jingyuan,

"Drink some water."

"......" Ji Jingyuan took a sip, and then asked curiously, "What about the other members?" ”

"After sending you the car, they will go back to the company first, and today's follow-up trips are all canceled, they are very panicked when they see your situation, and they are probably not in the mood to run activities."

As he spoke, Li Chenghuan took out a document from the folder he carried with him and handed it to Ji Jingyuan: "This is the notice that the company is preparing to issue to the outside world about your matter, Jingyuan, you take a look at if there are any problems, tell me if you have any opinions, and I will convey them to the company." ”

Chi Jingyuan put down the water glass, took it and looked at it carefully.

It is a relatively normal company announcement, which tells that Chi Jingyuan is not in serious trouble, and some reasons why he fainted at this event.

What's more special is that at the end of the announcement, I actually apologized to the fans.,You know, SM companies basically never apologize in the announcement for these things.,It's usually a random notice.。

"Just send it like that, there's no problem."

Ji Jingyuan nodded and returned the file.

"Then I'll communicate with the company later, after you were taken to the hospital, the fans rioted, Jingyuan, you don't know how crazy your fans are, the official website and SNS are all scolding, and now there are fans at the entrance of the building who are already demonstrating against it."

Li Chenghuan sighed when he remembered the comments he had just seen on the Internet, and after putting away the documents, he continued: "You can rest well these days, you must not be able to work these days, your album may be postponed, and the company should be in a meeting to discuss this matter now......"

…………

In the small conference room on the fourth floor of SM Company, Lee so-man and Kim Young-min, as well as the staff of the record planning department and external communication department in charge of EXO's preparation, were all on the list. The center of the discussion in this impromptu meeting was the timing of Ji Kyung-won and what to do with EXO's album.

"We have communicated with the hospital, and the doctor said that it was a viral flu, the symptoms were mild but it took too long, and the patient's body was too tired and the condition worsened, and now we need to rest for a while, five days to a week."

A room manager is explaining the news he just got from the hospital.

"Is this diagnosis reliable? Will it be ......"

"The special ward of Samsung Hospital in Seoul is usually not open to the public, so we can't even find the door when we go there. It is the most authoritative medical person in our country who treats Jingyuan xi, and there will be absolutely no problem. The head of the room glanced at the objector with dead fish eyes, and there was a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

"............", the person who doubted the diagnosis, couldn't say a word, and sat there pretending to look at the document.

"............" Li Xiuman nodded to show that he understood, and then looked at Li Changchan in the record department: "What's the situation with XO's mini second album?" ”

"EXO's mini-second series is ready for the last minute, and it can be completed within the scheduled timeframe according to the previous schedule. But if Kyung Wonxi rests, many things can't be carried out without his participation, and the progress will be completely stagnant, including the shooting of the title song and the "MV" of the lead song, he is the most important person. Li Changcan saluted and said.

"Has the time for the return been set?"

"Inside, according to the previous progress, it has been determined that it will be on April 15, and we are ready to officially disclose the news on April 1, and at the same time carry out the first wave of publicity and warm-up."

“…………”

Li Xiuman took the pen and scratched it on the A4 paper in front of him, then glanced at Jin Yingmin next to him, nodded to each other and exchanged glances, put the pen down and said in a deep voice: "Then postpone it, let Jingyuan rest for a few days, and the other members also relax." ”

"But director nim, if it is postponed, EXO's return will be at the end of April or early May, and then the return period will overlap with the time of their first Asian tour."

Li Changcan was a little anxious, and hurriedly said: "And the negotiation between the company's departments, including the overall plan of publicity and the opening time of the pre-sale, as well as the communication with the TV station, have been done, and if it is postponed now, it will ......."

"Then why don't you shoot the MV instead of Jing Yuan?"

Li Xiuman looked at him with a smile and interrupted Li Changcan's words, his tone was playful, but everyone sat up straight when he heard it.

"I mean ......"

"Okay......"

Li Xiuman knocked on the table three times with his fingers overlapped, as if he was a little impatient, squinted his eyes and glanced around and emphasized: "EXO's return will be postponed first, and the specific return time will be determined according to their progress after Jing Yuan recovers and returns to the team." ”

"The Propaganda Department is ready to release the news of the postponement of the return tomorrow."

"Inside, ah to Smecta."

Lee Chang-chan and the surrounding management immediately bowed and saluted.

…………

SM Company made two announcements for two consecutive days, the first of which explained the cause of Ji Jingyuan's accident and his current physical condition, and apologized to fans at the same time, saying that he would pay more attention to the health of its artists.

The second was to announce that due to the physical factors of the members, EXO's return scheduled for mid-April would be postponed, and the exact time was uncertain, and then apologized.

Tomato.com

The first announcement made the surging abuse of SM on the Internet stop a lot, and many fans also died down, since Chi Jingyuan is not a big problem, it is good, they have vented and vented, and the scolding is also cool.

And this time, SM actually took the initiative to apologize to the artist and fans for the first time, which made many fans seem a little surprised and excited, thinking that it was their battle that led to this result, and even had some good feelings for SM while being even happier, and at the same time prepared for a fight.

The announcement of the postponement of the second album has also caused a lot of discussion, and many people said that they have been waiting for a long time and are dissatisfied with the postponement of the album, but more is the appreciation of this behavior, after all, because of the health of its artists, it can be called the conscience of the industry, and they have expressed that they are very much looking forward to XO's return this time, and will definitely buy their albums to support them.

The most interesting thing is that through the apology of this incident and the postponement of the album, SM Company actually gained a lot of goodwill from passers-by, and the wind reviews are weirdly better on the Internet, which is really ironic.

Ji Jingyuan returned to the dormitory after two days in the hospital, and rested in the dormitory for a few days.

His illness was not serious, and he recovered quickly after treatment and rest, as well as food was guaranteed, and the second day after returning to the dormitory, he was actually well and almost ready to return to the team, but the company insisted on giving him two more days off, anyway, the album was postponed and the time was not as urgent as before, so he simply let him recover completely and stop doing anything more.

Although the other members are still practicing and running the itinerary without following the holiday together, they are a lot more relaxed these days, and they don't have to work overtime until two or three o'clock in the morning every day in order to catch up with the progress as some time ago.

These days, before twelve o'clock in the evening, the members can go back to the dormitory to rest, and after the sleep is guaranteed, everyone feels refreshed.

However, there are also people who are sullen and don't seem to be happy.

Until March 22nd, he had been resting for several days, and Chi Jingyuan, who was not sick and light, was sitting on the sofa in the dormitory, and the variety show was playing on the TV, and the sound was quite loud, but he didn't watch it, but listened to the sound and swiped his mobile phone, paying attention to the recent interesting things in the entertainment industry.

BTS has ended a month of singing activities, and although they didn't get any singing this time, their return has received a lot of praise for their unique style and personality stage, and their fans have increased significantly.

After the end of the song, the economic company BigH announced that BTS will officially enter the summer market in April.

The income of idol groups in the peninsula is really not high, so basically as long as idol has some names on the peninsula, the company will choose to explore overseas markets.

At present, there is no precedent for success in breaking into the United States, and the general choice is neon or Xia Guo.

Originally, bighit was a little hesitant to choose which one, but because EXO was in front of Xia Guoming's wind and water, and they happened to have a Xia Guotong in the team, they decided to break into Xia after some discussion, and the title song of their return this time is a bilingual version.

At this time, Chi Jingyuan knew that the original title song "Man" of BTS's return this time actually had a Xia Wen version, and the lyrics were filled in by Fang Wenshan, a well-known lyricist in Xia Guo, through which it can be seen that they have long coveted the Xia Guo market, and they are quite confident that they have prepared in advance.

With a bit of anticipation, Ji Jingyuan watched the MV of the summer version of "Man" on the Internet, and two minutes later, he silently closed the webpage with an irrepressible frantic smile.

I wish them all the best, he remembers that there are still two good-looking members in BTS, and with Wu Saike, the Chinese leader, the momentum of development should be quite good.

Girls' Generation was really relieved after Yuan&suzy's "some" ended singing, and after there was no dark cloud pressing on their heads, they blocked the gods this week and won a trophy in all singing shows, which also made the sones sweep away the loss of the previous two weeks and regain their strength.

Although Girls' Generation has returned significantly this time, it is indeed unlikely that it will return to zero one. That is, the sound source of "some" is too rebellious, and the popularity and national popularity of Ji Jingyuan and Pei Xiuzhi's partner are too high, otherwise if you change your opponent, you can at least take several in the first two weeks of Girls' Generation.

After all, ". Although the sound source is lacking in stamina, the explosion is very high, and the current album sales of 140,000 are indeed halved compared to last year, but they are still obvious compared to other girl groups.

However, sone's good days will not be a few days away, and 2NE1, which had a very bad performance last year and was questioned a lot, has a very strong return to the second album "crush" this time, with sales and music sources all rejuvenating, and the double main hits "ebae" and "gottabeyou" have performed very well on the music list, which has overshadowed the limelight of girls' generation.

Especially the former, if it weren't for the fact that "Some", which had been released for a month, was still too strong and firmly dominated the first place on the weekly chart, "EBAE" might have won the weekly crown in the first week of its return.

In addition to the fight between these two old rival girl groups, the 4minute performance of the No. 17 mini fifth album with the title song "What to Do Today" is also very good.

In addition, ACUBE also announced the news that Apink will return on March 31, and the trailer video for the title song "" has been released, and the response has been very good.

The competition among these girl groups is really fierce enough. Chi Jingyuan looked at the return news that came out one by one, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

By the way, there is also 'mr' in Apink's title song "", so it's interesting to be in love like Girls' Generation.

In Chi Jingyuan's opinion, the word 'mr' is already a curse.

"Ringtone ......"

The phone rang suddenly, Park Jae-hyun's phone.

"Brother, what's wrong." Chi Jingyuan easily picked up the phone, and at the same time picked up the remote control and turned down the volume of the TV a little.

"Jingyuan, how is your body?"

"It's no problem, it's OK the day before yesterday...... It's really unaccustomed to being idle these two days. ”

"I've already told the company that I'll be back tomorrow."

Ji Jingyuan glanced at the TV and replied with a chuckle.

After fully recovering, it is really like being reborn, and the whole person is very energetic.

"That's good, that's what I'm telling you about, SM has received several invitations, 'Seoul Fashion Week' is coming to an end, tomorrow you will go to the company after you return, and then the first trip is to go to the show."

"Watching a show?" Chi Jingyuan was stunned for a moment, a little surprised.

"Inside, this 'Seoul Fashion Week' was held on March 21 at the Seoul Design Culture Park, and you EXO were the guests of the opening show and catwalk, but you couldn't come to the hospital that day, and the other 11 members performed ......"

Park Jae-hyun began to explain: "I heard that several designers cooperated with the organizer admired you very much, and felt that your temperament and figure were very good and suitable for the catwalk, and the organizer also attached great importance to your popularity and sent a lot of invitations to SM. ”

"Don't, brother, I can't walk the catwalk." Chi Jingyuan smiled bitterly.

"The catwalk is to practice in advance, you don't have this time, this time it's just to be interviewed and watch a show at the same time, a very easy itinerary, which is perfect for you who have just recovered from your illness."

"When you come back, EXO's album production will start again, and it's definitely going to be busy again." Park Jae-hyun's tone sounded quite relaxed.

"Okay, I see."

"By the way, Jingyuan, I have already registered the two songs "ifyou" and "come on" that you gave me, do you need to put them in the music library?"

At the end, Park Jae-hyun remembered an incident that Ji Kyung-won had told him two days ago, and hurriedly added.

"Forget about "ifyou", we can sing ...... by ourselves"

Chi Jingyuan pondered for a while, and said into the phone: "The other is a girl group song, just put it in the music library." ”

"Okay."
