"Absolutely! Absolutely! Absolutely! Absolutely! ”

The next day, I was eating out with the members of Team K, and when I was just waiting for the food to be served, Ji Jingyuan took out his vibrating mobile phone and took a look.

It was a message sent by Bae Joo-hyun, and after opening it, there were four 'absolutes' at the head.

Looking back, below is a photo sent at the same time, on which Pei Zhuhyun, Jiang Shiqi, and Sun Shengwan are all wearing loose sportswear, and they each pose some part actions of Ji Jingyuan in the MV of "dope".

Bae Joo-hyun bent his smiling eyes and tilted his head, Jiang Shiqi's hands were compared to shooting guns, Sun Shengwan was the most funny, his face was wrinkled into a lump with a pompous expression, and his two hands were crossed in front of his chest in a special pose for rapper, and at a glance, he knew that he was simulating Ji Jingyuan saying rap.

I don't know how many times they have watched the MV and stage of "dope", but Sun Shengwan does she know that her expression is ugly......

The expressions of the three of them looking at the camera are very funny, but they all smile happily when they feel it. I just don't know who took the pictures of them.

"Hehe......" After seeing it, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help laughing.

Thinking of what Jiang Shiqi had told him about their recent situation, Ji Jingyuan raised his eyes and muttered for two seconds, stood up and said to the members, 'Make a call, come back soon' and then walked out of the box and dialed Bae Joo-hyun's number.

The phone ticked and was quickly connected.

"Young don't stuff young ......" Bae Joo-hyun's voice came out of the phone, a little hoarse, and his voice didn't sound very energetic, but there was a faint hint of surprise.

"Joo Hyun Xi." Chi Jingyuan shouted.

"Inside." The pronunciation of a word, Bae Joo-hyun turned two corners, and seemed to be in a good mood.

"I saw the photo you sent me just now, thank you for your support......"

After Ji Jingyuan came out of the box, he looked around, found a window where no one was there, and said into the phone at the same time: "It's just that you have a little idol baggage, why can this kind of funny photo be taken so well?" ”

"Poof......

A crisp laugh came, and after a dull moment, her tone couldn't help but laugh a little: "Inside, it's a little, hahaha......"

She laughed to herself before she finished speaking, and she didn't know if she really had a burden, or if she was very happy to be praised.

Listening to the other party's smile, Chi Jingyuan also smiled and held the mobile phone without speaking, and waited for her laughter to go down a little before asking, "Have you eaten?" ”

"Well, I've just returned to the office after eating, and I'm ready to start practicing in the afternoon after taking a break." Bae Joo-hyun's tone was summarized and smiled, and he replied briskly.

After a few simple greetings, looking at the street outside through the window, Chi Jingyuan thought about it and said softly:

"I heard Shiki say that the preparatory team for the girl group project is very hard and stressful every day...... Senior: How are you doing? ”

Hearing his question, Bae Joo-hyun seemed to be choked by something, and there was a few seconds of obvious silence on the phone, as if he was hesitating about something.

"Inside...... It's a little ......" After a few seconds, she slowly spoke, and her relaxed tone just now unconsciously carried a touch of sourness.

"Hmm." Chi Jingyuan responded.

"............" was quiet for a few seconds, as if she felt Chi Jingyuan's concern, and as if she really wanted to find someone to talk to, she pursed her lips and finally sighed, and began to babble:

"Last month's month-end assessment, my ranking regressed, obviously I have been practicing very hard, and I have to spend fifteen or sixteen hours in the practice room every day......

"I was the oldest of all the trainees in the preparatory group, and a few of them were actually 99 years old...... I don't even know how the company arranges this age difference, can we really debut together when we are so old? Sometimes when I practice with them, I feel awkward......"

"Every day is very tiring and stressful, and sometimes I wonder if it would be better to make it easier for myself......

“……”

As soon as Bae Joo-hyun spoke, she couldn't hold back, she obviously had a very hard and depressed time during this time, and she had been depressed in her heart for a long time, and her sullenness had been held in her chest.

At this time, in the face of Chi Jingyuan's active inquiry, he finally had a way to vent, and chattered a lot.

She obviously didn't organize her language, and her meaning and word order were a little messy, as if she would say whatever came to her mind.

From her tone and somewhat restless mood, it felt really stressful.

After all, this is almost her last chance in SM company, if this girl group project can't be chosen, either go back to school or be a backup dancer, agent or something, or leave SM to try again in another company.

Chi Jingyuan didn't intervene much, and from time to time he signaled that he was listening carefully, acting as a qualified observer.

After talking for a while, Bae Joo-hyun's mood seemed to slowly stabilize, and the boredom in her heart suddenly felt a lot more relaxed after venting.

At the same time, she realized that she had just thrown so much garbage at the other party, and suddenly felt a little shy and hesitated: "I...... Am I talking a little too much? ”

"It's really a lot, I didn't expect my predecessors to be able to pretend to be things in their hearts."

Chi Jingyuan laughed, his eyes swept over a swaggering sports car speeding on the road below, and without waiting for the other party to respond, he added in a relaxed tone: "But in fact, I can say a little more next time......

id=wzsy>

"I just happen to be free anyway."

Hearing the smile in the other party's words, Bae Joo-hyun's heart settled down, and he felt that some emotions were constantly surging in his heart, and he didn't know how to reply for a while holding the mobile phone.

She pursed her lips and whispered, "Inside." “

"Okay, seniors, let's talk about it next time, I won't tell you, they should have already started, and if they don't go back, they will be eaten up......"

"We XO don't have the habit of eating and waiting for people, and I've lost several times ......"

Chi Jingyuan smiled, closed the window and walked back, while talking casually, and finally cheered the other party when he was about to reach the door:

"Joo Hyun Xi, fighitng!"

After he twisted the doorknob, a soft but firm voice came from the phone:

"Inside, I will...... You too. “

Hang up.

Pushing open the door, Chi Jingyuan saw at a glance that the members were scrambling to eat the dishes that had not been up for a long time, and everyone's movements were so fast.

"I've said I'll be back soon, wait for me." Chi Jingyuan's face was bitter, and he couldn't help but complain.

"You're really fast enough 'right away'......"

Wu Shixun puffed out his cheeks and didn't swallow the rice yet, looked up at Chi Jingyuan and beckoned: "Hurry up and eat, don't waste time and wait for something to happen later." ”

"I'm going to kill you." Chi Jingyuan hurriedly ran back to his position and grabbed it with a quick shot.

…………

"DOPE's rankings have started to drop."

In the nanny car, Du Junxiu, who was looking at the music list with her mobile phone, frowned.

Today is May 10th, two days have passed since the release of the sound source and the first stage broadcast, and after two days of fermentation, the performance of "dope" on the music source list is a bit unsatisfactory, and the ranking has begun to slowly decline.

"The prelude, or the first dance song, is normal."

Park Chanyeol glanced at him: "You won't expect us to win a Zhou crown in the first song, right?" “

"Not really...... I just think it......" Du Junxiu shook his head, not knowing what to say.

The sound source performance of a song basically depends on two aspects, outbreak and stamina.

The explosion of the sound source of "DOPE" is very strong, and the airborne landing on the first real-time chart just after its release is the best proof of this.

But for EXO's soaring popularity and huge fan base, this is a very normal result and an expected situation.

After all, with their current popularity, even if they post a variation of the nursery rhyme "Three Little Bears", it is estimated that they can casually empty one.

It's not normal for EXO to send songs without an empty one.

It's just a bit similar to the previous "Wolf", and the sound source of the precursor song "Dope" began to reveal its shortcomings, and it had already slipped to fourth place on the third day, and looking at its daily listening and downloading trend, it will continue to fall if there is no accident.

It is impossible to get the weekly crown of the melon list with this trend.

Looking at the stamina, "Dope", which has been singing for 3 days, is not as good as "Some", which has been singing for more than two months.

"Some" only came down from the No. 1 position on the weekly chart a few days ago, and before that, the song had already won Melon's eight-week crown, a terrifying sound source result.

Melon has remained at the top of the list for 51 consecutive days.

The Genie chart ranked first for 720 consecutive hours, and it firmly ranked first in the comprehensive ranking of all songs in the first half of the year, including the number of online plays and downloads.

The second after "some" is the theme song of the Hollywood cartoon "letitgo", and the third is "Meet on Friday" released by IU at the end of last year.

In addition to this statistic, "Some" has another interesting achievement.

In the first half of this year, "Music Bank" ranked first in the score of all songs...... Second, third songs.

It's all about it.

The sound source of "Some" is so good, even Ji Jingyuan himself did not expect it, which can be regarded as an unexpected joy.

But in the current decline of "DOPE", Chi Jingyuan has no choice.

This is also the common denominator of kpop dance music, taking into account the rhythm and explosiveness of the stage, it is difficult to ensure the popularity and popularity of the song, and occasionally add some new concepts, or try some unique styles.

Therefore, the men's group's music source results have always been a little out of reach, and if you can take care of both, it can be called a divine comedy.

However, he didn't expect the sound source of "Dope" to be very good, and the song itself was not a source winner.

"Everyone expected that there was nothing to say, and it was a normal decline...... But the YouTube hits of our song MV are surprisingly high, and it has already exceeded 10 million hits in less than three days...... Jinjia's growth rate, is this a record-breaking? ”

Jin Junmian was also using his mobile phone on YouTube, and when he saw the number of hits on the MV of "dope", he looked up and asked in surprise.

"Is it so fast? I remember that I watched the MV of "wolf" last month with more than 30 million views, and the most popular "Roaring Filial Piety" had only more than 50 million views, which is already the highest click among all our MVs. ”

Park Chanyeol was very surprised when he heard this, and quickly took out his mobile phone, and said while checking: "And "Roaring Filial Piety" has been singing for 8 months, and "Dope" has been 10 million in less than three days? “

I haven't paid much attention to these other data before, and I've been staring at the music source list. Hearing this, Chi Jingyuan also flipped out his mobile phone and browsed it on YouTube.

Most of Kpop's idol MV videos will be uploaded to youtube, that is, on YouTube, and the number of clicks on YouTube's MV or stage video is not as important and critical as the two indicators of sales and audio source, but it is also a more intuitive data to measure the pan-popularity of an idol group.

At present, among all idol groups on the peninsula, the MV alone has the highest number of hits on YouTube, which is the degree of breaking 100 million, and there are very few idols of this grade, basically only "Gee" of Girls' Generation and "Pokémon" of Bigbang.

And not to mention those lakes, most of the other popular idols' MV hits stay at the level of tens of millions.

EXO's current most viewed is Roar, which reached 56 million as of yesterday, followed by Wolf's 35 million.

Their YouTube data is not a lake, but it can't be said to be very good, at least compared with EXO's popularity and other data, it can be said that there are some shortcomings, and it is still a little worse than the top groups.

In idol, the MV that has created the fastest 10 million hits is Girls' Generation's "Theboys" in 2011, which took 110 hours.

The record stood for two years, and two years later, it was Girls' Generation, and "Igotaboy" broke their own record with 55 hours and 10 million hits.

This speed has not been surpassed by idol so far, but Ji Jingyuan feels that with the current situation, the speed of "DOPE" does not seem to be much weaker than the former, but it is still necessary to count the time specifically.

"It's really breaking the record for the fastest 10 million clicks."

At this time, Lee Seung-hwan, who was sitting in the front seat of the co-pilot, heard the discussion, and turned around and participated: "The company counted it in the morning, and the MV of "dope" reached 10 million hits on YouTube for a total of 51 hours, breaking the record of 55 hours held by Girls' Generation. ”

"At present, the number of hits of the MV of this song is still growing very fast, which proves that we have really done a great job shooting the MV of "dope"."

“jinjia？”

Although it is not a very important record, it still makes the members feel a lot better.

"Inner ......"

Li Chenghuan nodded, and at the same time added with some doubts:

"And according to the data on YouTube and the company's statistics, a considerable part of the clicks on the MV hits of the song "dope" on YouTube are not contributed by the peninsula, nor are they provided by the audiences of the Asian regions where we often move, many of them are from overseas, Europe and the United States, accounting for at least one-third of the 10 million hits."

"Brother, didn't our EXO also make a name for itself in Europe and the United States? Ha, don't you consider holding two rounds in LA? Park Chanyeol laughed cheerfully twice after hearing this, and made a joke,

"Hahaha......" The members laughed one after another, and Ji Jingyuan couldn't help but shake his head.

They didn't take it seriously and didn't take the message too seriously.

The data of YouTube clicks is not important, in fact, it is a place to show itself to fans and viewers in many other countries overseas, reflecting the popularity and pan-popularity of an idol, and since 2013, there have been singing programs that use YouTube data as a reference index when ratings.

But let's say it's important, in fact, the current idol, including economic companies, really doesn't pay much attention to this data, after all, it is not like sales and music sources that can directly bring a lot of revenue, and it can intuitively reflect the performance of a combination.

However, it is clear that YouTube data has been significantly weighted more and more in recent years, especially with the popularity of smartphones.

"Hah...... Possibly. Li Chenghuan glanced back with a smile: "Maybe because "DOPE" is popular overseas, the company will send you to the United States next year." ”

"And then take a caravan all the way to the roadshow?"

"Hahaha......"

Kim Jong-in picked up a sentence that caused a lot of laughter, and everyone could hear who he was talking about.

So far, none of the KPOP idols have been very successful, so they just joked casually and didn't care.

"That's right, brother."

After laughing for a while, Kim Junmian looked at Lee Seung-hwan.

"What's wrong?"

"The speed of "DOPE" breaking 10 million hits is a record in idol, so what is the ranking among all artists on the peninsula? Or number one? He asked, curiously.

"Hehe......"

Li Chenghuan smiled helplessly, looking at Jin Junmian's eyes a little weird: "I won't mention the number of hits of "Gangnam Style", suho, go and see for yourself." ”

"PSY's "Gentleman" exceeded 10 million hits in 16 hours, and exceeded 100 million in 80 hours."

He sighed and sighed:

"The reason why the data competition is limited to idol is because this brother is too outrageous."
