Chapter 60: The First Event

In the past two days, the wind direction on the Internet has obviously been secretly guided, whether it is SM Company or Chi Jingyuan, of course, they have all noticed it.

Although Chi Jingyuan seemed to be in a good mood when he was on the phone with Zhou Ziyu and was not affected, in fact, he didn't want to let things on his side get in the way of her, and coaxed the little girl who cared about him.

Luhan's withdrawal from the team has caused a series of unpleasant effects, just rehearsing every day has already made Chi Jingyuan more irritable, and now these sunspots splashing dirty water although he doesn't care, but they are a little disgusting like flies.

"Revealing the inside story of EXO, was Yuan squeezing Luhan away?"

"SM insiders tell you about the delicate relationships between EXO members."

These funny posts have been slowly emerging on the Internet since yesterday, in fact, Chi Jingyuan himself is not a character that is easily affected by external comments, and he doesn't care much about passers-by, but looking at the ridiculous revelations that he can't wait to laugh after reading them, he was a little annoyed by the dizzy appearance of fans who originally supported him or supported exo and didn't know the truth by these half-truths and half-truths.

Some of the younger ones who have poor discernment, especially now that Luhan's fans are in a state of excitement and out of control and need a catharsis, the timing of this group of candidates is really good enough.

I don't know who secretly poured muddy water on him, it may be Luhan, after all, it is good for him to point the finger at Chi Jingyuan, and it can add a lot of compulsion and legitimacy to his runaway.

It may also be other economic companies in the industry, the rise of EXO from last year to now occupies a large share of the Peninsula boy group market, I don't know how many people are in the way, when there was no accident before, I knew that there was no real material and it was meaningless, and now I have secretly jumped out when something happened.

It may even be those simple sunspots, he just looks at Chi Jingyuan and wants to disgust him.

They all have a motive, and maybe even every aspect is involved.

But now SM has begun to carry out high-intensity criticism and public relations after finding out, and in addition to this, his fans are also fighting back everywhere.

Chi Jingyuan Weifan's loyalty and combat effectiveness are really the spearhead in the entire idol circle, and in the past few days, Yuan fans have been patrolling various forums almost 24 hours a day, just like the Internet patrol officers at work.

As long as I saw this kind of smear post, countless people poured into it as soon as the whistle sounded, and in addition to suppressing those black comments in a very organized manner, I also scolded the poster for a bloody head, and finally did not forget to give a report.

And these black posts without any evidence and real hammers will not cause him substantial losses, that is, his image will be lowered in the hearts of people who do not know the truth in a short period of time, but the good impression of passers-by that Chi Jingyuan has created in the past two years will not be so easily damaged.

Ordinary passers-by will look at it and laugh and laugh in the past, and most fans will not care about this, but to some extent, it will arouse their anger and protection of their idols.

I haven't used this trick before, and I don't need it, but now it's just right.

But the most important thing now is to minimize the impact of Luhan's withdrawal from the group, let the heat of this matter pass quickly, and get EXO back on track.

When this period of time passes, it is not impossible for EXO to work hard next time to return and try to recover some of the negative effects of Luhan's withdrawal, or even go further

I just hope nothing happens during this time......

……

On the fourth day of Luhan's withdrawal, July 24 was the day of "M! In the 10th Anniversary Special, M will hold a special concert at the Goyang City Stadium to celebrate, with a number of artists in attendance and several cover stages for the previous bands, to perform many sensational and well-known hits in the Peninsula music industry over the past decade.

After XO's accident, all their group activities have been suspended.,It's just that this trip has been given to Exo-K very early.,The theme of this special program is to reflect the development history of the Peninsula music industry.,EXO as the only idol group in modern times to achieve platinum sales.,Re-opening the era of million-year sales Idol group occupies a very important position in it.,It's not easy to push off.。

After discussing with the organizer and SM also held an internal meeting to discuss it, the company decided to let EXO-K participate in this event as usual, but Oh Se-hoon canceled the original stage of cooperation with BOA because of the reason for the rehearsal concert, and replaced him with an ordinary backup dancer.

Fortunately, it's Team K, if Team M at the center of the storm can estimate that it will really be pushed off this time.

As for the time delayed for rehearsing the concert, I can only work overtime at night.

And this time is also the first public performance stage of EXO after Luhan's withdrawal from the group.

"I feel like I haven't eaten enough at noon, so I'm going to suffer all the way this time......

"I don't feel full, Brother Chenghuan is too anxious."

The door of the nanny car was opened, and the members got out of the car one by one, chatting casually as they got out of the car, complaining that the lunch time was too short.

In order to hurry up, they also practiced for a while in the company in the morning before going to the beauty salon to do styling, and then after a short meal, they got into the nanny car and set off here, and it took nearly 40 minutes on the way to reach their destination.

"The temperature is quite high......"

At this time, it was afternoon, and Chi Jingyuan, who got out of the car last, had just emerged and felt a burst of dazzling sunlight flash his eyes, so he quickly blocked his eyes with his hand, looked up at the sky by the way, turned around and pulled the car door hard.

They had already done the styling, but they were still wearing private clothes at this time, and after a few people tidied up on the spot, they walked from the parking lot to the Gaoyang Stadium under the leadership of the agent, talking in a whisper as they walked.

Luhan's affairs have also passed for several days, and after a few sleeps, a lot of dissipation has dissipated after a few sleeps, after all, everything will still pass with the passage of time.

In the first two days, the gloom and irritability of the team were reduced a lot, and there was not much difference between the normal time and before, and now those negative emotions only show up when they work overtime in the practice room at night.

"Ah, most of the afternoon and evening have been delayed, what time will I work overtime tonight."

Several people walked side by side in twos and threes, and Park Chanyeol sighed.

"Soon, stay up for another day tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow should be done." Jin Junmian estimated the workload and progress, comforted him, and also pulled out a positive example: "Jun Xiu came back from filming the TV series yesterday and immediately practiced until now, and he didn't cry out tired......

"Brother, in fact, I'm too tired to speak......" Du Junxiu, who was walking in front, looked back after hearing this, and the thick dark circles under her eyes couldn't even cover several layers of foundation.

"Haha......" Such a faceless behavior made a few people next to him laugh.

"You said Luhan is gone, we worked so hard to rehearse, if we go again after a while, it won't be another time......

"Don't say that...... This is something that the company is considering, and we have overreacted a little bit in the past two days. ”

"It's also ......"

The group walked out of the parking lot and soon came to the door of the stadium, and Chi Jingyuan behind looked at the ground and followed closely, interjecting from time to time.

Jin Junmian, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, and Ji Jingyuan also quickly stopped the car, looked up at them suspiciously, and then looked ahead with their gaze.

I saw that at the entrance of the gymnasium, on the open space on the right side of the opposite side, hundreds of EXO fans who came to support were standing at this time, gathered together under some blazing sun, holding pictorials of each member and a specially customized banner with white letters on a black background and EXO logo.

There were several banners with various words of support written on them.

“fighing! Cheer up. ”

"Always support EXO!"

"Even if there are eleven people left, we are still one."

“we are one!”

This is all because SM did not change the official itinerary of EXO-K, and the planetary meals gathered here specifically knowing that Team K will perform on stage for the first time after the storm today.

I don't know how long they waited, but under the scorching sun and slightly higher temperatures, everyone was sweating on their faces and fanning the wind with their hands.

After seeing the members of Team K coming from the parking lot, they didn't burst into a passionate scream as before, but quickly stood on tiptoe after a period of noisy chaos, and vigorously held the banners and pictorials high, shaking them gently, trying to make Chi Jingyuan see them more clearly.

Even if there were no cheers, the wordless support seemed even more shocking.

The members of the "......" all paused when they saw this scene, and after a few seconds of silence, they looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

Chi Jingyuan, who has been in a much better mood recently, also has an inexplicable feeling of astringency in his heart, looking at this group of fans who are looking at them with anticipation and firm eyes, he doesn't know whether it is moving or heavy.

After a few people stopped for a while, under the leadership of Jin Junmian, several people first waved to them, then put their hands together in front of their chests, bowed gently as they walked forward to express their gratitude, and stopped when they were about to walk into the stadium, and the six people turned around together and saluted hard goodbye before walking in.

After walking in, I said hello to the waiting organizer and walked towards the backstage under the leadership of the other party, on the way, Park Chanyeol remembered the picture just now, and couldn't help but sigh: "Ah jinjia, it's really ......"

The others were a little silent, and the scene just now gave them some touch.

Luhan's withdrawal from the group did have a great adverse impact on EXO, and the fan base also had a lot of turmoil and lost fans, but this setback also played a role in washing fans to a certain extent, and the outside world's distraction and turmoil even aroused the rebellious psychology of some fans, and they were more supportive of XO than before.

It can only be said that misfortune and blessing depend on it.

Exo-K arrived relatively late, and was called to the dress rehearsal not long after he arrived in the lounge and sat down.

Because it was a temporary stadium, it was still a large lounge that was mixed together.

After returning from the rehearsal, Lee Seung-hwan briefly explained a few words and left, Park Chanyeol, Kim Jong-in and a few people sat for a while and chatted with friends, while the others were doing their own things inside.

Du Junxiu slept on the table, the whole lounge was noisy, but he could fall asleep instantly, his posture was very upright, and he didn't dare to move his hairstyle for fear of messing up.

Too lazy to watch the news, Chi Jingyuan was about to play a game to relax, but at this time, the mobile phone suddenly vibrate.

"Look out the door." He glanced at the content of the message and looked up at the door of the lounge, where Cui Xueli stood with a happy smile and waved to him.

Chi Jingyuan smiled, put away the game console, got up and walked out, and as soon as he walked out of the lounge, he heard Cui Xueli complain to her: "Why didn't you reply to the text message you sent the day before yesterday?" ”

FX officially returned on the 7th of this month, and after two weeks of singing, it has already won six places, and the results are very good.

However, this morning, SM suddenly announced that this week was the last singing event for FX's return, which surprised many fans.

Because according to the standard of idol return, FX should have at least two weeks of playing time.

All of a sudden, their fans were talking about it, and some conspiracy theories came out at the same time.

The results of FX's return this time can be seen more clearly now, the overall results are not bad, both sales and YouTube performance are excellent, much better than their last album,

This time, the entire album, especially the title song "Red Light", was very popular in overseas markets including Xia Guo, Europe and the United States, and was highly praised by many professional musicians and magazines.

But unlike the unanimous praise overseas, they have suffered a little frustration in the peninsula, and many ordinary passers-by on the peninsula obviously don't eat their style, which leads to the average performance in terms of sound source, and the sound source explodes very strongly with the efforts of fans, but the stamina seems to be a little insufficient.

However, in the context of the overall decline of the second-generation girl group this year, FX, which is also a second-generation girl, can rise against the trend, which can be said to be very rare.

Today's M! C" 10th anniversary, as a popular girl group that has just returned, FX must have also been invited.

"I received too many messages from my friends in those two days, and I didn't see them, when did you send them?" Chi Jingyuan walked to the side, smiled at Cui Xueli, and explained briefly.

"Remember to come back early next time, how can you mix me with the others, we are close to each other, and we are different from those ordinary friends."

Gently bumped Chi Jingyuan with his shoulder, Cui Xueli looked at him and emphasized it seriously, and then glanced around: "You exo actually happened to this kind of thing, how are you doing these two days?" ”

"Generally, these few days are the outlet, and it is estimated that it will be better in a while." Ji Jingyuan shrugged his shoulders, but his expression didn't seem to be affected.

At this time, a row of girls came over, and Chi Jingyuan glanced at the girl group AOA, and Park Cao'e, who was walking in the front, was already wearing waistless stage clothes that were a bit similar to cheerleaders, and it seemed that the rehearsal had just ended.

When they saw Chi Jingyuan at the door of the lounge, they all smiled and saluted: "Anihassai yo......"

When greeting, several of the women inadvertently glanced at Chi Jingyuan's face twice, with exploration in their eyes, obviously a little curious about him.

"Anihasai Yo ......" The two also smiled and returned the salute, and Chi Jingyuan didn't say anything and watched them enter the lounge, and then pouted at Cui Xueli to the empty space next to him, signaling that it was not good to block the door, and go over there a little.

"Alas, you've not been doing well these days, and I've been miserable lately." The two moved a few steps to the side, and Cui Xueli complained.

"What's wrong?" Ji Jingyuan was a little surprised, he hadn't heard of any problems with FX recently, except that it was a little strange to suddenly announce the end of playing songs today.

"I was photographed playing with my friends outside, and a few days ago, when the media wanted to expose it, the company publicized it, and then the head of the room called me over and trained me so badly."

Cui Xueli looked a little dazed, and when she mentioned this matter, she suddenly became unenergetic.

"What photo?"

"It's just when I came out of the club after playing, who knew that there would be reporters squatting there so late." She doesn't have a very good expression and looks like she really hates those candid shots.

After a few punches as if she had beaten those paparazzi with her own hands, she then changed her expression: "It's not my fault, and I'm such a good teacher?" When the head of the office trained me, I quarreled with him for a few words, and then directly expressed my desire to develop more as an actor. ”

"You just said it at that point?" Chi Jingyuan was stunned for a moment, looking at her in disbelief.

"My temper came up, I couldn't hold back." Cui Xueli felt his eyes, smiled wryly, and lightly slapped Chi Jingyuan: "I am this character, you don't know." ”

"Ne, I know."

The corners of Chi Jingyuan's mouth twitched and nodded.

He did know that Cui Xueli's personality was actually not very good, otherwise he wouldn't have had any special friends to be close to before.

Even if she later became close to Chi Jingyuan, her personality has not changed much, and she is still more self-conscious, after all, personality and temper are not things that can be changed by making friends with anyone.

He also knew why SM suddenly announced that FX was ending this week.

It can be regarded as understanding why Bae Joo-hyun and they debuted so long in advance.

One of the company's two trendy girl groups is no longer in a significant decline, and in the face of contract renewal, the company needs to give up a lot of profit sharing and give a lot of resources, and the other is that even management is a little difficult, and some of the core members have no hope of renewing their contracts, and some don't even want to be idols.

In addition, because of Wu Saike's matter, SM may have expected that something might happen to the combination of EXO or FX with Xia Guo members, and under various circumstances, the debut time of the new girl group was greatly advanced overnight, either because they wanted to launch it early to let them take over, or it could be for them to block the gun at this time.

"Alas, you see that I am also so unlucky, am I in a slightly better mood?" In the end, Cui Xueli looked at Chi Jingyuan and blinked.

"........." thought for a while before she figured out the logic of her thinking, Chi Jingyuan didn't know what to say for a while, and winked at her, and the two looked at each other for a few seconds and chuckled together.

At this moment, a few footsteps were heard, and two strangely dressed hip-hop figures walked over from a distance, and the two chatted as they walked, and their voices sounded quite familiar.

Chi Jingyuan followed the voice and looked over there, and couldn't help but squint his eyes, it was really an acquaintance.

It was the Dynamic Duo duo who had an indissoluble bond with him last time, Jae Ho and Gaeko.

Ji Jingyuan hasn't seen them much since the last SBS incident, and can only occasionally hear messages from them when chatting with other members.

And Dynamic Duo also started the trip again after recovery, although a lot of SBS cooperation was reduced, but because Ji Jingyuan didn't take the original thing to heart, he simply didn't follow up to find trouble for them, so they are still quite popular in the Peninsula hip-hop circle, and they have not been cut off from life.

The two hip-hop seniors who suffered a loss after being repaired, especially Jae Hao, also understood that he couldn't afford to provoke this junior at all, and he walked around him in many events that happened to be on the same stage.

Unexpectedly, this time they also came to participate in this "M! c" special, and they also took pictures of each other here.

The two also noticed Chi Jingyuan and Cui Xueli in front of them, and the eyes of several people met in the air, Zai Hao couldn't help but stop and be stunned, his right hand was raised lightly, and he seemed to subconsciously want to touch his neck, but he quickly remembered something and quickly controlled it, and took his hand back after scratching the itch casually.

It's Ji Jingyuan and Cui Xueli again, a man and a woman, and Jae Hao only feels like he has returned to last year.

This moment is just as good as that moment.

But in the end, it is a senior who has been mixed up for many years after debuting, even if he plays hiphop very real, he is not as competitive as Xiao Young, Dynamic Duo and the two of them were stunned for a moment, and they immediately squeezed out a smile, and took the initiative to say hello to Chi Jingyuan and the two.

Jae Hao smiled very sincerely, his slightly rough face was full of enthusiasm, and he seemed to bend down lightly, and after Ji Jingyuan also chuckled and nodded, he walked into the lounge as if nothing had happened before.

It's just that the pace is obviously a lot faster than just now.

Watching the backs of them entering until they were blocked by the line of sight, Chi Jingyuan raised his eyebrows lightly at Cui Xueli, and the two couldn't help laughing together.

Jae Ho's low profile when he took the photo this time was in great contrast with the arrogance of last year, which made them feel very funny.

Not enough, this also shows the admirable survival wisdom of the seniors in the circle.

didn't pay attention to him, and after chatting for a while, the two returned to the lounge together, and as soon as Chi Jingyuan came in, he felt a lot of eyes looking at him from all directions.

EXO has been the center of the storm in Peninsula Entertainment News these days, and today is their first appearance since their birth, and it is inevitable that they will be noticed.

Among them, the most familiar and straightforward line of sight is on the left side of FX, which Zheng Xiujing has seen.

Ji Jingyuan glanced at her in the air, and then said goodbye to Cui Xueli and returned to Exo's team.

At 6 p.m., M! C" 10th Anniversary Special started on time, this time the theme is to review the biggest hits in the music industry in the past ten years, and basically no one of the idol groups performed in front of them performed their new songs, all of them were cover stage.

From TVXQ's "HUG", Baek Ji-young's "Tell Me by Dergirls" to BIGBANG's "Lies" and "Pokémon", KPOP classics from many years ago reappeared in front of all audiences under the cover of the current idol group, and the atmosphere of the whole scene was very hot.

Exo-K was the penultimate performer, second only to Boa, the last to appear in the same company.

When the lights were not turned on, when Chi Jingyuan and the other six members walked to the stage and began to pose for the opening, the planetary meal that had been prepared for a long time began to cheer and scream loudly.

This is their first public stage after the withdrawal incident. But a few people were not affected by the turmoil on the Internet, and they still showed the demeanor and aura that EXO should have on the stage, and the song "Overdose" was performed perfectly, and every member of Team K was holding back the fire in their hearts, resulting in a great dance effort, and the typhoon and expressiveness were even better than before.

And the shouts of the fans below are also extremely loud, some of the rice is obviously heard and has been shouted a little hoarsely, hysterical, the voice is dumb but still keeps supporting them, the non-stop cheers seem to want to prove to the outside world that you Luhan is going to go, we are still that exo.

The dazzling stage and the amazing support also made the other audience look sideways and cheer together because of the atmosphere.

After the end of the stage, after saying goodbye to the staff, the K team didn't even look at the final stage and left the venue directly with the agent, and hurried back to rehearse, and I didn't know what time I was going to work overtime tonight.
