Chapter 33: Leakage of Sound Sources
"Miane."
Ji Jingyuan looked at Mingjing Nan's eyes, blinked and smiled, then knocked lightly on the window, and finally looked at her for a second, ignoring the other party's stunned eyes. I walked directly to the car, and after explaining to the driver, "Send them back", I turned around and walked to the car parked behind.
He felt that several lines of sight from the car in front of him followed him, until he opened the car door to let Pei Xiuzhi go in first, and then sat in it himself, and then disappeared due to the obstacle.
"Bang" The car door closed, Chi Jingyuan sat on the back seat of the car, leaning on the back of the seat, exhaled, his eyes closed slightly, feeling a little tired, a fresh and unique smell of perfume lingered, Pei Xiuzhi moved this side and got closer to him, looked at the car in front of him that had not yet driven away, and said with a smile: "What, that little girl has taken a fancy to you?" ”
“…………”
Chi Jingyuan opened his eyes, turned his head sideways to look at the face of the sign that was close to Chi Qi, and the corners of his mouth arced: "I don't know her very well...... But what about you? ”
"So coincidentally?"
The heads of the two were very close, and Pei Xiuzhi bent his eyes and aimed at him: "I don't know very well." ”
“…………“
"Go to Yongsan-gu ......"
Chi Jingyuan looked at her and smiled, inhaled and sniffed some sultry smell, then turned his head to the driver and reported the address, the driver quickly responded and then started the engine, and the car quickly drove away.
After seeing Chi Jingyuan's car drive away, the car that Nai Nan and the others were in also quickly started and drove quickly towards the address of the JYP trainee dormitory reported by sana.
After the car started, the comfortable environment made them feel a lot more at ease, and Sasha Minato and Momo Hirai discussed in a whisper what had just happened.
I had been trembling and didn't dare to speak out before, but now I can finally relax and speak, I have experienced so many things in such a short period of time just now, and they feel that they have a stomach full of words to say.
And Najing Minami was leaning against the door on the right, his arm lying horizontally on the window edge to support his chin, his head resting on his arm and looking at the lights and street scenery that kept passing outside, Tong Kong lost his due focus, and sat there quietly without saying a word.
She didn't listen to Chi Jingyuan's instructions to close the window, but opened it a little more angrily.
The constant night breeze under the movement of the car blew her hair up and kept slapping on her face, and the temperature at night seemed to be getting lower and lower, and Minami Nai's slightly thin clothes seemed to be a little unable to protect her.
It's just that she didn't seem to feel it, her head pressed against her arm and looked out silently, and her tightly pursed lips could be faintly seen between the messy hair.
"Mina."
After chatting for a while, the two friends next to them felt the loss of Mingjing Nan, and they vaguely knew why, so they took the initiative to comfort after glancing at each other: "Yuan, senior, he ......"
Saxia Minato wanted to discuss and evaluate Chi Jingyuan who met for the first time tonight, but they suddenly remembered that there was a driver driving in front of them, and their evaluation behind them might reach Chi Jingyuan's ears, so she immediately closed her mouth, blunted for a while, and then talked about other topics:
"Mina, didn't we grab tickets for the concert of EXO predecessor nim in a few days, let's go together then."
The cautious Sasha Minato also used honorifics in private, and at the same time smiled and touched Nai Nan's back, and his right hand slid from his back to his waist that was a little exposed, and began to rub it:
"And EXO is so popular, they are coming back soon, they can see it on TV every day, and if they have the opportunity to debut in the future......"
"Hmmm......"
Minami Nai looked back at the two of them and laughed out loud, revealing her neat upper teeth and a touch of gums.
She withdrew her arm on the edge of the window, opened the five fingers of her right hand and combed it from the front of her forehead to the back of her head like a comb, and pulled all the messy hair in front of her head to the back, then shook her head lightly and shook off her hair, pursed her lips and said seriously: "I just ...... suddenly I especially want to make my debut. ”
She looked at the top of the carriage with some complexity and longing in her eyes.
"I really want to make my debut." Hirai Momo didn't delve into Najing Nan's thoughts, but echoed a sentence.
They left home so far away alone and came to the Peninsula as trainees, naturally all for the goal of debuting as idols.
"We have been arranged by the company to be a debut candidate in the neon group, and it is estimated that there will be a chance soon." Sasha Minato Sayaki also brushed her hair, and she was also looking forward to it.
"By the way, Jun-ho's senior......" She suddenly thought of the name and said it with some hesitation.
"Huh."
When Mingjing Nan heard this, she couldn't help but roll her eyes when she had been smiling, and leaned back without speaking.
I had a pretty good impression.,It's a debut senior.,It's been a long time since I've debuted.,It's always been very enthusiastic.,It's very cheerful and the appearance is OK.。
Right now...... Didn't want to hear the name.
Seeing Minato Minami's reaction, Sasha Minato pursed her lips and didn't continue.
………………
Minami Nai sat on his dorm bed and buried his whole head in the blanket.
Because she and the other two were not from the same dormitory, they were sent to the door by the driver and said goodbye to each other in the corridor, crept back to wash up, and then got on the bed and covered themselves with blankets.
Tomorrow will definitely be taught a lesson by the trainee headmaster, but she doesn't bother to think about that now, although she hasn't been here for a long time, but the peninsula's strict management of trainees Nan has already seen it.
Under the blanket, Minami Nai opened her eyes and looked at everything that was dark in front of her, she couldn't sleep, and as soon as she closed her eyes, what happened just now kept flashing back in front of her like a movie, and then replayed, and finally froze on the few scenes that she was most impressed by, and then it was repeated repeatedly.
Mess.
Alas, she hugged the blanket over her head and sighed in her heart.
Tonight, I saw the idol she has always liked up close, saw that he was completely different from the camera, and knew that he seemed to be dating Bae Xiuzhi.
Especially what happened later, when he stood up in despair, the red lotus was pressed down by the other party and sat on the sofa again, and Najing Nan felt that he might not be able to forget it.
Coupled with the comparison between Li Shengli and Li Junhao next to him, he felt a little inexplicably complicated.
After tonight, she has some other feelings about this idol who has been chasing, and she doesn't like it, but she just wants to know, wants to get close, wants to know the contact information of the other party, wants to chat, talk or something.
It's just that it's really uncomfortable to take the initiative to ask for contact information and be rejected, the other party smiled and refused and then turned around and left, and the grievances and losses in my heart have not yet eased.
Really, I really want to make my debut now......
It's only been a few months since she practiced, and she doesn't know when she's going to go.
………………
On the other side, on the upper floor of a high-end apartment building on Itaewon Road, Yongsan-gu, Ji Jingyuan hugged Pei Xiuzhi who was sticking up, and while responding to the other party's enthusiasm, he opened the door of the apartment, and the two hugged each other and walked in leisurely, closing the door with their legs casually.
After entering, he didn't go inside, he just pressed against the whitewashed wall next to him and huddled together, and the sound of tearing clothes and muffled wheezing kept coming from the dark room.
The loose bat shirt Pei Xiuzhi wore today was really convenient, and Chi Jingyuan felt it when he was in the club, and he looked like a fish in water at this time.
The other party's only coat did not play any protective role, and even played a lot of counterproductive roles, and the white skin faintly exposed in the seams looked even more attractive.
It's just that the super skinny jeans are quite troublesome, the skeleton is a little big and the curve is a little steep, and it can't get down at all if you get stuck there.
Chi Jingyuan relied on her memory to slowly guide her to the bedroom inside, stumbling along the way and not knowing how many things she knocked down, but at this time no one cared about these, and the hot atmosphere had filled the entire room
Walking into the bedroom and throwing it on the soft mattress, Chi Jingyuan turned on the light with a 'pop', and immediately came a dissatisfied moan.
"Turn off the lights!"
"No."
"Shut it up!"
"No."
“……… That...... Just open it......"
………………
In the early morning, the sky was just bright, and the bedroom was still dark when the light was blocked by the curtains, Chi Jingyuan stretched out his hand and pressed the non-stop mobile phone alarm on the bedside table, rubbed it vigorously on his face with his hand, and then sat up and walked directly to the bathroom.
Because he left, he lifted a lot of quilts to reveal a smooth and white shoulder, and the smooth back curve extended down to the depths of the quilt without any hindrance, and finally disappeared into the darkness.
After washing up a few minutes later, Ji Jingyuan returned to the bedroom, first picked up his mobile phone and sent a message to Park Jae-hyun, then glanced at Bae Xiuzhi, stretched out his hand and pulled the quilt up, and began to dress neatly.
"Why so early?"
When Ji Jingyuan was dressed and ready to go out, Pei Xiuzhi sat up, covered himself with a quilt in front of him, his eyes were a little unopen, and he looked at him with a frown.
"There's a lot going on today, and there's a birthday party in the evening, and it's going to be early in the afternoon."
Ji Jingyuan didn't look back, straightened his clothes in the mirror, and replied at the same time.
"Your family is so ......"
Pei Xiuzhi rubbed his eyes, closed them vigorously and then opened them, looked at Chi Jingyuan, who was about to open the door and leave, and asked a little puzzled: "Why are you so tired, why don't you make yourself relaxed, it's okay to take a leave and go later." ”
"Hmmm......"
Hearing this, Chi Jingyuan stopped, raised his eyes and looked at the ceiling of the apartment and thought about it, and after a few seconds of silence, he turned his head to look at Pei Xiuzhi, with a smile on his face, but his tone was very serious: "I think it's better to do what you like and are willing to do." “
"What's more, there are so many people who support me, you say."
Smiling and raising an eyebrow at Pei Xiuzhi, Ji Jingyuan opened the door of the apartment and waved his hand lightly behind his back: "The key is on the bedside table...... Go first, call me. ”
With a crisp sound, the door was closed, Pei Xiuzhi looked at the direction of the door blankly, and the words just now echoed in his ears, and he was a little stunned for a while.
………………
"Happy birthday, Jingyuan."
After going downstairs, Park Jae-hyun had been preparing for a long time, and when he saw Ji Jingyuan coming over, he patted him on the shoulder, smiled and blessed him.
"Haha, brother, thank you."
With a cheerful smile, Ji Jingyuan nodded in thanks, opened the door and got into the car, Park Jae-hyun also sat in the cab, and the car started immediately.
It's just that Chi Jingyuan, who just received his birthday wishes, received a bad news soon after the car started.
"Really?"
"Inside, you take out your mobile phone and take a look at it, and now the hot searches of Naver's websites are all about this thing."
Ji Jingyuan was stunned for a moment, took out his mobile phone and logged in, and soon found the bad news that Park Jae-hyun had just said.
"The popular boy idol group EXO returns to the main song source leaked, and the special stage video link xxxx"
"The sound source and dance video of EXO's return title song "overdose" have been leaked, which may seriously affect this return."
"The stage of EXO-K's "ineedu" and "overdose" songs was leaked, or it was done by SM insiders."
“…………”
Seeing these hot search entries, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help frowning.
In the mini second album "Overdose", which was originally scheduled to be released on the 15th, two songs, including the title song, were exposed in advance.
clicked on a stage video link, and soon the familiar music of "ineedu" came,
"When is it" turned off the voice a little, and Chi Jingyuan's face was not very good.
"At three o'clock last night, someone announced it on major music forums at the same time."
Park Jae-hyun, who had already learned what had happened, replied directly.
"At the same time, is that planned?"
"It should be, after all, you XO are the hottest boy group right now, blocking the way of many people, and it's not one or two that don't like you."
Park Jae-hyun nodded, feeling that this matter was actually quite obvious.
"The source of the sound was leaked in advance...... It's annoying to have this kind of thing back soon. ”
Chi Jingyuan squinted his gaze down at the video screen in his mobile phone and pouted: "Let's see how the company handles it." ”
This kind of thing about the leakage of audio sources will occur from time to time in the Peninsula song industry, it may be that the company's own problems are not paying attention, the insiders themselves accidentally leak it, or some competitors are deliberately looking for opportunities to do things.
Of course, there will be some people who are purely because of their bad brains, because after some relationships get the music source, they show off and share it, and post it on the Internet in advance to listen to it with everyone.
But this kind of thing is a kind of trouble anyway, and the most important thing is that the audio source is leaked in advance, which will have a great impact on the upcoming idol.
Because it costs money to hit the charts and listen to songs on the peninsula, and idol also needs the support of fans and passers-by, if you have listened to the songs in advance, it will reduce a lot of enthusiasm, and it will also affect the sales of the album to a certain extent.
Moreover, leaking audio source information itself involves violating the law, and this kind of thing may also be suspected by conspiracy theorists of hyping up their company, which will affect its reputation.
Different agencies attach different importance to this kind of thing, but the handling methods are basically the same, almost the same as returning to the album release delay, changing the leaked song or simply removing it.
But now that the return time of EXO is beyond push, the original series of supporting promotional items should be set, and the tickets for the showcase are gone, and it is difficult to change anything.
And if you push it again, you will overturn the time of the concert.
It's not very reliable to change the song and simply remove it, because today on the 13th and 15th, it will return, and nothing can be done in just two days, and the album has already been poured in the factory and is ready to be shipped, how to change the song at this time......
It still depends on how the SM is handled.
"Jingyuan, it's here."
Park Jae-hyun's car drove very fast, and it didn't take long for Ji Kyung-won to arrive at the company and walked into the practice room, where the members of Team K were talking enthusiastically about something, and they all nodded to him after seeing him walk in.
Everyone else thinks that Chi Jingyuan went to celebrate his birthday yesterday, and it is nothing if he doesn't come back overnight with his treatment, so he doesn't even bother to ask.
After saying hello to the members, Ji Jingyuan also found a place to sit down, and after listening to it for a while, they were really discussing the leakage of the sound source in advance.
"Isn't this so-called special stage video the same pre-recorded video we gave to the TV station a few days ago? It must have been leaked by the TV station. ”
Park Chanyeol's voice was full of dissatisfaction, and the volume was also very loud, and it echoed back and forth in the practice room a few times, and it could be seen that he was in a bad mood.
It's normal to be in a bad mood at this time, and the six people, including Chi Jingyuan, don't have any good expressions.
Park Chanyeol is right, the current number of hits on the Internet is extremely high, and the leaked special stage hanging on the hot search is actually a dance video used to arrange shots and camera positions for several people from Team K to show the program team for the stage performance after the return on the 15th.
In the seven-minute video online, the six of them dance to the songs "Ineedu" and "Overdose" in the practice room with their names on their names.
In the first week of the return of the more popular groups, in addition to the title song in all the song shows, there will be an additional stage performance time for other songs in front of them, which is a benefit for the popular idol group, and you can show your face more to promote the other songs included in the album.
In addition to "overdose", EXO will also have a special performance of "ineedu" in the first week.
It's just that I didn't expect the video used by the TV station program team to recognize people and familiarize themselves with the filming process appeared on the Internet.
If it weren't for SM's own internal problems, it would probably be the work of the TV station staff who sent the video.
"This kind of thing is not easy to investigate, and even if it is found, what can it do, it has already leaked out." Jin Junmian sat there and sighed, obviously he was going to return the day after tomorrow, and he felt that his luck was really bad.
"Where's Brother Chenghuan?"
After listening for a while, Chi Jingyuan asked out loud.
"The company started a meeting early in the morning to discuss how to deal with this matter, and Brother Chenghuan also went with us as our representative."
id=wzsy>
Du Junxiu looked at him and explained, and added: "I've been there for a while, I guess I'll be back soon." ”
"Hmm."
Ji Jingyuan nodded, and while listening to the arguments of the members, he took out his mobile phone and opened the leaked video, not looking at the recorded video of the practice room version he had seen before, but looking at the comments below:
"Which West Eight Dog Cub leaked the sound source, which affected the return of XO, we can't spare you."
"Hajima, the oppas are about to return, this kind of thing happened, and the return won't be postponed again......"
"kkkkkkkk is great, the sound source is leaked, this time the mini two will definitely be affected, I declare that this is the turning point when EXO starts to go downhill, laugh at me, EXO hurry up and die! kkkkkk”
"Which song in the video is the title song, is the 'overdose' in the back? But how do I feel that the first song is better, I feel that the dance is also great. ”
"The title song name was announced at the time when the later "Overdose", the first song "Ineedu" is not better, but it is also great, I feel that it is better than the title songs of other boy groups, and it is really excellent as a included song."
But in the video, although Yuan has a big name tag in front of him, he still recognizes that the front of his gray sweatshirt is a big Doraemon logo...... I feel that his usual private clothes are all in this style in the materials exposed from before to now, is this thing really so good-looking, Yuan likes it so much? “
“…………”
The situation is not bad, most of the comments below are EXO fans who are worried, as well as passers-by's dissatisfaction and condemnation of the music leak, but there are also a lot of gloating messages, and Ji Jingyuan has directly skipped them.
As EXO's fan base grows, so does the number of black fans and people who don't like them, which is inevitable.
Interestingly, in addition to some people's attention to Ji Jingyuan's private clothes, many people said that they liked the song "Ineedu" very much after watching the video, and even overshadowed the title song "Overdose", hoping to see a more formal stage performance as soon as possible.
I say this because this video is not very clear, and it can only be said that I can barely see people clearly.
After all, it was recorded for the TV station.,The members didn't jump too seriously.,Except for the very accurate positioning, the others all have a little paddling feeling.,Some of the actions are perfunctory.,It's almost the same as the usual rehearsal of a singing show.。
The news of the leak of the EXO sound source is really hot, it was posted in the middle of the night last night, and it was hung in the forefront of the hot search on various websites early this morning, and the number of hits has been rising.
This kind of surprise of off-the-plate tricks really attracts the attention of passers-by, and it feels a little more popular than EXO's official public sound......
It's ironic.
Ji Jingyuan didn't comment for long, the door of the practice room was pushed open, Li Chenghuan took a folder and walked in with Lin Xuanjun and several other agents, and when he saw that Ji Jingyuan had come, he nodded lightly at him, then walked to the middle and clapped his hands, signaled to all the members and began to explain:
"In response to this leakage of our EXO audio source, the company has just asked the relevant audio source service provider as the copyright owner to interrupt the service, and there has not been a response yet, but there should be no problem."
"The other thing is the main thing, because the leaked date is too close to the return, we only have two days left to return, there is still a show to be held tomorrow, there is not enough time to change the album songs, and it is certainly impossible to postpone it......"
Saying that, Lee Seung-hwan glanced at everyone: "So the company decided that this time XO's album will not be changed due to the early leakage of the sound source, and it will follow the songs of the previous original album...... However, just taking advantage of this popularity, the company will take this opportunity to carry out corresponding publicity measures in the last two days. “
"Kyungwon, for your birthday party in the evening, you and Sehoon prepared a special stage, right?"
"Inside." Ji Jingyuan glanced at Wu Shixun and nodded.
"Finally, there will be a stage of "ineedu" by the whole K team, and the performance will be performed in advance to all the fans of the birthday party, and the company's VJ will follow the whole process, and it will be uploaded to the Internet after the end."
"According to the investigation of the publicity department, this song has received the attention and love of many passers-by and fans, and since the sound source has been leaked, we will simply announce the official stage directly, and the company will take this opportunity to carry out a wide range of publicity, and warm up for tomorrow's showcase and the day after tomorrow's music source to be released and return to the stage."
"Although I am already familiar with it, I will remember to practice it again later, so as not to make mistakes at night." Lee Seung-hwan looked at the six members with a somewhat serious expression.
"Got it, brother." Everyone nodded in response
"By the way, the company will issue an announcement in a while, and all external responses will be in accordance with what the announcement says, just push someone's words to the company, don't express other opinions......"
"Brother, do you know who the leaked source is?" Park Chanyeol interjected at this time.
"The company has already started an investigation, it should be a problem on the TV station's side, but even if it is found, it will ......."
"Okay, you guys practice first, I'll come back later" Li Chenghuan didn't continue, but finally explained a few sentences and then walked out quickly with someone, looking really busy.
Looking at the backs of a group of people who walked out, several members sighed and glanced at each other, Jin Junmian ran over and plugged in the stereo on his mobile phone and played the accompaniment of "ineedu":
"Let's practice."
…………
After lunch break, Chi Jingyuan, who received the call, came to the appointed place in disguise, or under the street sign of the alley where we met last time.
Looking at Zhou Ziyu who was standing in front of him with a smile on his face, Chi Jingyuan blinked and took the packaged gift she handed over, and then looked at her with a grin and a big smile on his face:
"Happy birthday."
