Chapter XXXVIII
"I announced that EXO is the new generation of TOP group, and no one should have any dispute."
"Be modest, the TOP is still a little close, the sound source and the oil pipe have shortcomings, but there is really no opponent on the track."
"I really love the style of this return, it's a little more mature than before, everyone is so handsome with heavy makeup, super appetite for me."
"The new rice is in the pit, Yuan is really sy, and the stage of "ineedu" was instantly seconds."
"Let's briefly evaluate it, this time the title song "Overdose" condenses the essence of the previous main songs, with the high-end and atmospheric singing of "Mama", the drum rhythm and high and low singing method of "History" many times, the electric dub and structure of "Wolf", and the background sound coverage and R&D of "Roaring Filial Piety". amp; amp; b, it is considered very high-quality among the title songs of all kpop boy groups, and SM is really attentive this time. β
"I think this time the title song is still a little worse than "Roaring Filial Piety", the popularity of the melody and the toxicity of the chorus are much weaker, and it is conceivable that the sound source of "Overdose" is definitely not as strong as "Roaring Filial Piety". But this time the included songs of the mini two are really too conscientious, "ineedu" and "dope" are both songs of main quality, and even compared to the main song, I like "ineedu" a little more, but this song did not shoot the MV, which is really a pity. β
"Me too, this song is all Yuan's self-composed song, one is more appetizing to me than the other, Yuan is really my god!"
"The other songs are also great, like "Run" and "Thunde" are very distinctive."
"Same as above, compared to the main song "overdose", I also like "ineedu" a little, although this song does not have an MV, but when I listen to it, I seem to see my former self, all kinds of grievances at that time, and the confusion in my youth, the production is really well-made, not to mention the choreography, it is the dance choreographed by Yuan, and "dope" is also, SM really recruited Yuan because of the smoke from the ancestral tomb."
"Since the debut, the results of this return are so good, I am really happy to see them come to this day and are one step away from reaching the top, I am both moved and relieved that there are many things I want to say to them but I don't know how to speak, after thinking about it, I will borrow the lyrics from "ineedu" to express it:
The sky is so blue and the sun is so dazzling that my tears are so clearly visible.
Why is it you who fall in love, why does it have to be you, why can't I leave you.
ps. I'm also Yuan, I really don't have to say it, the lyrics are written in my heart. β
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β
The day after EXO's return, it became a new trend, and fans wantonly expressed their rich emotions in their hearts.
The data on the first day was enough to make everyone breathe a sigh of relief, and the success of the return of the mini second series continued the popularity of last year, not only proving that XO was not a flash in the pan, but also allowed them to take another step to the next level.
And in the face of this strong achievement, even a large number of black fans before couldn't help but die down at this time, strategic diving, looking for opportunities to fight again, and even sour words were a little sour and sour.
Because they smell it sour when they say it.
Wait a few days, and we'll jump out when your sound source is insufficient.
Just wait.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
After recording the stage of "Music Bank" on the 16th, XO didn't even take a break, the meals were bought by the assistant in advance and eaten in the nanny's car, and they hurried to the Hyundai Department Store in Xincun, where a book signing will be held at eight o'clock.
EXO's fame has been fully established, and even a private signing event that requires a place to buy a lottery will attract a large number of passers-by and fans who do not have a place to watch.
When I got out of the nanny car, I met onlookers as usual, but the fans also controlled their emotions and didn't get too excited, and took the initiative to give way for them to enter, that is, they kept shouting their idol names on both sides.
Beckoning to the side, Chi Jingyuan followed the members into the signing counter, and after a brief preparation, the time came.
EXO's signing sessions have been held I don't know how many times, and the process has already been mastered, so I simply performed a show, chatted and then entered the signing session.
When he first debuted, Ji Jingyuan hated this kind of activity very much, because there was no one at all, which caused them to be very embarrassed, and he had to keep his smile open in the face of a few fans, and he couldn't have any dissatisfaction and frustration.
But after he became popular, he enjoyed this kind of activity, mainly because he could get in touch with all kinds of fans and feel their support for him up close.
At each book signing, the company will also leave some seats in the front row for the members' fan stations and front-line station sisters to use to shoot some on-site materials, and then go back to the website for publicity.
"Prince Yuan nim ......"
A girl who didn't look very old walked in front of Chi Jingyuan, her face was full of excitement and a little nervous and timid, and her soft voice opened her mouth to calm Chi Jingyuan.
At this moment, Chi Jingyuan was wearing a light gray white hoodie, wearing Pikachu ears given to him by a fan just now, looking cute and handsome.
It's no secret that he likes neon anime like PokΓ©mon among fans, and during the book signing, he often encounters fans who bring him some small anime accessories, and Ji Jingyuan generally doesn't refuse, and will wear it for a while.
"Anihassaiyo...... Prince? Ji Jingyuan was stunned for a moment, took her album with a smile and repeated it.
"Anihassai, Ne, I feel very suitable for this title......" Nuhan nodded, and then opened her mouth to say something, but it seemed that she had forgotten what she had prepared, and suddenly cried: "That, that, ah, I forgot what I was going to say, woo woo......"
"Don't worry, what's your name?" Ji Jingyuan quickly wrote his name on the album with an oily pen, and then looked up at each other with a smile.
He can often see this kind of meal, and he thought about what he wanted to say for a long time before meeting idol, and he forgot all about it when he saw it.
It's cute.
Lee Eun-hee...... Oh yes, oppa I went to cut my bangs in the afternoon in order to look younger when I saw you. β
"Eun-hee, aren't you already a young man, how old are you?" Ji Jingyuan looked at the girl who was still a high school student, no matter how he looked at it.
"I'm seventeen."
"Mo, you're already so young, how can you be young?" Ji Jingyuan grinned toothy, and looked at Li Enxi's carefully trimmed bangs: "Do you want to be ten years younger?" β
"I just want to be younger, after all, I want to be worthy of OPPA......"
Li Enxi looked like a well-behaved student, staring at Ji Jingyuan without blinking: "oppa, I really like you, make trouble and make waves......"
"Me too."
Ji Jingyuan nodded and looked into her eyes, he would never be stingy in saying something that would make the other party happy in the face of fans.
"I've always wanted to come to the signing meeting with OPPA, and I got up in the early hours of this morning......"
Li Enxi babbled a little, and then suddenly remembered something, and looked at Ji Jingyuan tentatively: "By the way, can OPPA do that with me?" β
"What?"
"Sing a little bar of 'Some' with me?"
"But now it's the signing party of "Overdose"......" Ji Jingyuan smacked his lips, then looked at the other party's little eyes and suddenly laughed, and nodded: "Which part do you want to sing?" β
Lee Eun-hee had obviously prepared it before, and he blinked and hummed quickly, "Like a lover, but not a lover......"
"You're like a lover again, as if you're only looking at me......" Ji Jingyuan quickly picked up, and his soft voice echoed it, and he sang along with Lee Eun-hee.
The other party was excited without singing two sentences, and when she felt Chi Jingyuan's gaze, she covered her face with her hands and even said, 'Even are all and even are even'.
"I'm really nervous, my hands have been shaking just now, ahhhh......hhhh
"Prince Jingyuan nim......" She suddenly raised her head and looked at Ji Jingyuan expectantly: "Can you call me Princess Eunxi?" β
Ji Jingyuan pursed his lips and glanced at her, tilted his head and nodded: "Inside, Princess Eunxi nim." β
It was a dialogue between the second middle school and made Lee Eun-hee feel extremely satisfied, his mind seemed to float up to the clouds, and he grinned stupidly and happily, and the other fans who heard it next to him couldn't help but cast extremely envious eyes.
"Ah......h
When the time for Lee Eun-hee to sign the sale came, he looked at Ji Jingyuan when he was about to leave, raising his fist in a soft voice but his tone was extremely firm:
"OPPA, I'll always support you."
Chi Jingyuan nodded and smiled at her, and took the initiative to shake his hand and say goodbye:
"Goodbye, Kangsanmida, go back early."
β¦β¦β¦β¦
It was already past eleven o'clock when the signing ended, and then they got in the car and rushed to MBC to record a radio program, which was not completed until two or three o'clock in the morning.
"Ah, I'm tired ......"
Sitting in the nanny car, the six members were already a little exhausted at this time, and they leaned crookedly on the back of the chair and couldn't wait to close their eyes and fall asleep.
Jin Junmian also sighed quite poetically:
"This is the return......
"I'm a little hungry, do you want to have a supper?" Chi Jingyuan leaned for a while, and suddenly felt empty in his stomach, opened his eyes and turned back to ask.
"It's so late, don't you have to stay in shape?"
"I don't have a fat physique, as long as I don't eat every day, it doesn't matter." Chi Jingyuan shook off his bangs a little proudly.
Idol is actually very strict about his body management because of his photogenic fat relationship, and the agent will often supervise by the side, and will weigh it every once in a while to check whether the body has become fat during this time.
Not only artists who have debuted, but also trainees, the figure is also a kind of appearance, which is one of the core competitiveness of idols.
Chi Jingyuan himself likes food, and this physique really benefits him a lot, especially when he sees that some members can't eat well in order to manage their bodies and work hard in the gym.
It doesn't matter if he works iron, he often goes to the gym to exercise to ensure his shape, but if he can't eat, it's definitely fatal.
"I'm a little hungry too, what to eat?" Wu Shixun also touched his stomach and raised his hand to signal that he also wanted to participate.
"Grilled large intestines? Pork? Or a burger? β
"It's so late, let's be plain."
"What about kamaboko? Or fried rice cakes? β
"There is no more plain ......"
While they were discussing, they chatted with the TV station staff until Lee Seung-hwan, who was the last to arrive, sat in the co-pilot, turned around and shouted loudly:
"Kids, don't sleep yet."
The voice was loud, and several members who had closed their eyes quickly opened them and shook their heads to look at him.
"That's it for today's trip, wake up early tomorrow morning and continue to MBC...... Tomorrow...... It's past the early hours of the morning, that's today, today is the 17th, Kyungwon, you're going to Yonsei University's celebration performance, right? β
"Yes, brother."
"Then you probably won't be able to come back in time for the afternoon and evening activities, so we have to go to MBC early in the morning and record the stage of "Music Center" in advance, and we didn't prepare a five-person version of the choreography this time."
took out a notepad and turned a page, and Lee Seung-hwan continued:
"There is also a radio station tonight, Jingyuan, you remember to hurry back after the school celebration is over...... Tomorrow, in addition to the song of "Popular Ballads", there will be a recording of "Golden Fishing Ground: RadioStar" in the evening, and it is estimated that it will be very busy until late that day. β
"The Golden Fishery? Brother, are we suitable for this show, isn't it a little ......" Jin Junmian hesitated when he heard the name of this variety show, and asked out loud.
"Golden Fishery: RadioStar" is a radio-like talk show variety show on MBC, with the theme of visible raido.
Because the host's speech in the show is very sharp, and the questions asked are relatively direct, which is a bit taboo. The guests are often asked some questions that are not easy to answer positively, so the ratings are good and the topic is also very high.
It's just that for many idols, some difficult questions are a little inappropriate.
"Because the focus is about to shift to the concert, the return period is not long, and there is not much time for publicity, so you need to make up for it with some popular variety shows, "Golden Fishery" is quite suitable, and fans must be looking forward to this episode of XO on the show."
"Although some more explicit questions may be asked, but they will talk to us in advance, and the company will also communicate with the program team, and the other party is also very welcome for us XO to participate, after all, our popularity is there...... And Kyuhyun isn't being an MC, don't worry. β
Hearing the name "Golden Bath", Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but smack his lips, he is very familiar with this variety show, and he has always liked to watch it, and his favorite thing to watch is the 'Love Era Special' when he was young last month.
At that time, those sisters heard all kinds of embarrassing and direct love inquiries on the screen, and the business smiles on their faces were almost stiff and couldn't be maintained, watching Chi Jingyuan laughed happily, no, it didn't work until they XO was going to be on this show.
"There will be two signing sessions on the 18th and 19th, and then there will be ......"
Lee Seung-hwan looked at the notepad and gave a brief introduction to their itinerary in the last few days, and when he heard it, he couldn't help but sigh like Kim Jun-mian, "This is a return." β
"Okay, go back and get some rest, you have to get up early tomorrow."
Lee Seung-hwan clapped his hands, comforted him, and then turned around.
"What about the supper?" Wu Shixun, who was in the back row, poked his head over and asked in a low voice in Chi Jingyuan's ear.
Chi Jingyuan raised an eyebrow at him:
"I'll talk about it later."
β¦β¦β¦β¦
said that they got up early, but it was really early in the morning that they were picked up by the agent, and from just now when they closed their eyes to now, Chi Jingyuan and a few people have really slept for three hours.
In fact, he didn't have to be so early, but because he had something to do in the afternoon, he had to go to the recording stage in the morning, and he couldn't sleep, not to mention, and he even had to get up early with other people.
It's time for dinner again.
After arriving at MBC, cody who accompanied the team started recording as soon as he finished the styling, and today even the stage of "ineedu" was recorded in advance, and the K team of several singing shows that returned in the first week were all two-song performance time.
As for the other interview sessions, it didn't matter if Ji Jingyuan was there, after the recording was completed, he said hello to the members and quickly left in the car and went to his school.
May is a very special and exciting month for university students in the peninsula, because the universities in the peninsula have the habit of holding school celebrations, and at this time, major universities will hold grand celebrations, which are colorful and very lively.
Of course, this does not mean that all schools are founded in May, and Peninsula University generally celebrates not on founding day.
The school celebration generally lasts for three days, and the first two days are activities between students, such as various departments setting up stalls on campus to cook, drinking and singing in the evening, and then holding a small stage the next day, where various clubs recruit new performances and hold some sports competitions such as baseball and basketball.
The third day of the finale is more grand, many schools will invite a lot of popular artists and idols, singers to perform live at the school, and more professional MCs will also be invited to host, just like a platter concert.
Yonsei University's celebration this year starts on the 15th, and today is the most important time for artists to perform on the 17th.
Because college students themselves are idol fans, coupled with college-related factors, most artists are willing to come to the school to celebrate, and the performance fee is generally not very high.
And because many idols are graduates of this school, or even students, they are also willing to come to the school to perform for their juniors, and this kind of artist is generally widely welcomed.
For example, Ji Jingyuan, he was admitted to the university in 12 years, and he took a year off because of his debut, and today he is already a second-year student, and this news has been said many times in variety shows before, and his fans have also shown off I don't know how many times.
Many people in the school know that Ji Kyung-won went to school in Yonsei and is on the Sinchon campus in Seoul, but few people see him because he sees the head and the tail.
But after all, they are seniors or juniors in the same school, and when they see Chi Jingyuan standing on the stage at night, many students have a special sense of intimacy in their hearts, and instinctively distinguish Chi Jingyuan from other performing idols.
Moreover, XO is the latest trend, and its popularity and popularity are incomparable to some other idols.
Because he was alone, he couldn't perform EXO's hit hits, but just sang two songs from previous albums, and even then he received the most support and cheers since the start of the performance.
Compared with junior and senior high school students, the proportion of college students chasing stars has decreased a lot, and they are also a lot more rational.
But I couldn't see it at this time, because many of Ji Jingyuan's students and audience were agitated, and the screams came and went.
"Pool View Source! Pond view! β
"Pool View Source! Pond view! β
Unlike rice, classmates shouted his real name, not his stage name.
Especially some senior sisters and sisters, probably because they feel that Chi Jingyuan is a classmate, the relationship is so close, and some people's fanaticism is not lost to those real fans at all.
After the standard salute, Ji Jingyuan walked off the stage with applause, went backstage to say hello to the school staff, and then went to greet the teachers and professors who had always taken care of him before leaving the school in a nanny car.
Many faculty members in the department actually know Chi Jingyuan's special treatment, although his grades are not good, but they barely meet the standard, and Chi Jingyuan himself is very polite, and his own quality is easy to make people feel good, plus some hidden benefits, most of the faculty and staff have a very good impression of Chi Jingyuan, and no one says anything on the surface.
Just on the phone with Lee Seung-hwan, XO has just finished a trip and is now rushing to SBS, he asked Ji Jingyuan to go directly to the meeting, and there will be a radio program to be on later.
Five Generations of Rivers, Mountains and Moons
SM's itinerary for EXO is very interesting, several return periods, obviously very popular, and there are a lot of invitations to variety shows, but in fact, the number of popular variety shows is not much, but the radio programs are one after another.
However, this time, because of the short return period, it needs more exposure and publicity, and I don't know if there will be any changes.
Sitting in the nanny car, Chi Jingyuan swiped his mobile phone and looked at the recent news.
SBS's monthly drama "Doctor Stranger", which was broadcast in early May, entered its second week of broadcasting, and the ratings increased significantly by 12 percent, which has a big lead in the repertoire of the three major TV stations in the same time period in the same period, and the audience evaluation is also good.
Speaking of this drama, Chi Jingyuan also received the script at the end of last year, when "The Inheritors" had just ended, and during that time, the invitations received by SM Company to Chi Jingyuan's film and television were really countless, and Xia Guo sent a lot in addition to the peninsula.
Following the three consecutive explosions of SBS dramas last year, in May 2014, none of the three major TV stations had too popular dramas, but the cable TV station JTBC's "Secret Meeting" broadcast in March did very well, and there was a high degree of discussion on the Internet.
There is no other news in the music industry, except for EXO's mini-second album, which has sold nearly 80,000 copies as of now, and the total sales are approaching the million mark, it is some publicity and material distribution for infinite's regular second album "Season 2", which will return next week.
YG unveiled BIGBANG member Sun's second solo album 'RISE' to be released on June 3 with a total of 9 songs and the title song 'Eyes, Nose and Mouth'.
With the launch of the official album, it can be seen that YG is very confident in Sun's solo this time, and GD and Sun have the best results among the solo members in the previous bigbang.
However, although June 3rd is only half a month away, EXO, which has shortened the singing period, should have ended the promotion of the new song at that time and went to Xia Guo to hold a concert, and it didn't matter if he couldn't bump into each other.
Infinite maybe, the two are back to the front and back at this time, and they will definitely have to touch it when the time comes.
In addition, there has been no more exciting news recently, not long after the previous incident, the peninsula entertainment industry is still in a state of recovery, far from the excitement and momentum of the beginning of the year.
At this time, some exciting news is needed, if there is a short period of time, or if the popular members of a certain trend group reveal one or two more love, it is estimated that the popularity of the music industry will immediately return to the previous heyday, and it can be regarded as contributing to the development of the entire industry.
Words of Girlhood...... Ji Kyung-won remembers that Taeyeon shouldn't be in a relationship lately......
