Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Second
"Today's event?"
"I just had a fight, and it was quite a big fight...... But a few days ago, the company proposed to let him return to the team to practice, and I heard that his father was still communicating with the company very unpleasantly. Jingyuan: You probably didn't pay attention to the fact that you came back too late from filming a few days ago."
"Is his leg healed?"
After hearing this, Ji Jingyuan thought for a moment and asked the most critical question.
Tao was injured on the 4th of this month, and the doctor's diagnosis at that time was to rest for four to six weeks, that is, a month to a month and a half, and according to today, there are 26 days and nearly a month.
But time is just a reference, and it depends on how he responds.
"I heard that the agent took Tao to the hospital for a check-up the day before yesterday, and after filming the film, he seemed to reply very well, and the company may have proposed to let him return early for this reason."
Jin Junmian obviously knew something inside, pointed to the sofa and motioned for Ji Jingyuan to come closer and sit down, and then whispered: "But it may not be fully recovered, I heard Tao mean that his leg still hurts a little and is not very comfortable."
"It should be almost good, didn't tao go out to party with friends for dinner two days ago, and was photographed by fans and uploaded to ***b...... I don't know if the company saw the news and wanted him to return early." Park Chanyeol also broke the news in a low voice.
"And what's going on?" Chi Jingyuan was a little surprised.
"You've been busy filming lately and haven't paid much attention to it, just two days ago...... It's not big news, but it's a lot of discussion in our fan club." He pursed his lips and seemed to be smiling, his expression a little strange.
"That's ......," Chi Jingyuan nodded knowingly.
He probably understood, maybe the company felt that Tao was almost recovered, but Tao himself felt that it was not good, and the two parties had a dispute.
But Chi Jingyuan felt that this kind of thing still depends on the doctor and what he says, and sometimes even if the doctor says it's okay, if he is uncomfortable, he must pay attention to the injured person's own opinion.
He frowned and glanced at the closed door of the room, "Why force it if Tao says it's uncomfortable? Didn't they all say at that time that they didn't need him to participate in the neon concert in November? And ......"
He didn't finish, but the few members around him understood what he meant.
And tao is still the only two Xia country lines left in EXO today.
After luhan left, the two Xia Guo lines were actually a little embarrassed in the team, the two of them were not like luhan who were members of EXO's popular upper circle before leaving, and in terms of popularity and popularity, they were second only to Chi Jingyuan in both places on the Xia Country Peninsula, and he was also the captain and main promoter of the M team, so the company gave a lot of resources and exposure opportunities.
And the remaining two are even in the middle and lower ranks of the team, far less beautiful than Luhan. I didn't have a good personal itinerary before, and there were very few C-position shots and parts on the stage, and now after Luhan left, the company is even more unlikely to give them any high-quality resources.
This kind of behavior is understandable, after all, eating a trench grows a wisdom. But if you want to keep people and don't give resources, other treatment will be better, what is the situation now?
And to be honest, tao's comeback really doesn't have any impact on EXO's neon performances next month, because to put it mildly, there are really not many fans who come to see him.
If it is replaced by Chi Jingyuan, it is understandable that the company is in such a hurry.
"Who knows."
Several people also sighed softly, they were also worried about this tonight. Jin Junmian's face was not very good-looking, but he still tried to explain to the company: "Maybe the company also has its own ideas, Brother Chenghuan should have also seen the case......
He couldn't say any more, sighed again and shook his head.
Chi Jingyuan sat on the sofa and whispered to them for a while, then got up and went to the bathroom to wash up and go back to the room.
"You didn't come out
To join in the fun?"
Closing the door, seeing Du Junxiu and Wu Shixun lying on the bed steadily, far from the sighs of a few people outside, Chi Jingyuan asked while walking towards his bed, and generally felt very interesting.
"We went to see it during the quarrel, and after saying a few words, we came in." Wu Shixun stared at the phone and didn't raise his head in response, looking at his attentive appearance, he didn't know which female idol he was chatting with.
"Aren't you worried?" Chi Jingyuan sat on the bed and took off his coat, stretched his waist and lay down comfortably, picked up his mobile phone and looked at the time, and asked casually.
"Why aren't you worried, worried, who isn't worried about the situation of the members of the Xia Kingdom now?" Du Junxiu's voice came from the other side, and his tone was a little helpless: "But there is nothing we can do...... And I think even if they didn't have it, they would ......."
He didn't finish speaking, but Ji Jingyuan and Wu Shixun understood what he meant.
Because EXO, a lot of people think like that.
"Ugh."
Chi Jingyuan sighed, looked at the bed board above with his head resting on his arm and said slowly after a while:
"Let it be."
…………
The current situation and turmoil of the combination do affect the mood, but as Du Junxiu said, there is nothing they can do, and they can't change anything.
Maybe Chi Jingyuan is qualified to change something, but he feels that it is pointless to do so, and it is useless to make up for the core contradiction by other aspects if it is not resolved.
Although he was upset, he didn't have time to think so much, so in order to work, Chi Jingyuan left the dormitory early the next morning and rushed to the crew, devoting himself to filming.
Yesterday, in addition to Ji Jingyuan, the other 5 main actors also completed their own ratings conventions, and VJ was filmed throughout everyone's activities, and the clips will be recorded in the "Unborn" highlights released by the crew in the later stage.
This collection will probably be released around December, when "Unborn" is just nearing the end, and you can take advantage of the situation to do a wave of publicity to try to increase the ratings of the finale.
However, the official clip has not been released, but the rice shoot has long been posted on the Internet, and several other people have no fans and no one watchs it.
Fans are very attentive to the weather before dawn in the morning, and the dense crowd of fans who are going to line up very early, all of which reflect the amazing popularity of Chi Jingyuan.
Many fans are also one of the 100 people who participated in highfive, and they were very happy after getting the coffee and fried chicken delivered by Ji Jingyuan himself, and they were reluctant to eat it, and they kept taking pictures and then uploading it to the Internet to show off, which caused a lot of Yuan fans to blush.
"Oba is really warm, in addition to highfive, there are so many delicious foods for everyone, I really want to go to the scene, ahhhh
」
"Yuan has nothing to say about his favorite fans, he is very enthusiastic about every fan in the rice shooting, and he is also very humble and polite. I can only say that he hasn't changed since his debut, which is why I still like him so much after the age of chasing stars."
"I envy those who can high-five Oba, and the fried chicken that Oba gave him personally! I'm going crazy, crazy, crazy!"
""Unborn" is really a big hit, Ji Jingyuan's performance is fantastic, I can't help but search for some of his materials and videos on the Internet, this young man is really good...... "Unborn" is played quickly, wait to see how Ke comes to gain momentum."
If you selectively ignore the sour words of some of these black fans angrily criticizing "show", other comments are all praised at a glance, in addition to all kinds of show-offs, jealousy, or Yuan fans who blow rainbow farts, it is gratifying that many middle-aged white-collar workers have also joined the discussion, which is the best proof that Chi Jingyuan is now spreading his popularity with "Unborn".
Nowadays, as long as it is about "Unborn", or the topic of Chi Jingyuan's entry, the discussion will always be very hot, this
TV series have begun to slowly sweep the trend.
At 10 o'clock in the evening, the fifth episode of "Unborn" was broadcast on time, this episode had a big turn compared with before, and the plot that had been a little flat suddenly became violent today, and Section Chief Zheng and Wu Shangzhi had a fierce conflict, directly exposing Wu Shangzhi's scandal back then, and Wu Shangzhi did it directly in anger.
Immediately afterwards, Minister Ma also came to trouble Wu Shangzhi, and Wu Shangzhi directly fought back and exposed the scandal of sexual harassment of the other party, and the entire three business groups were in chaos.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Kelai was caught red-handed in order to find evidence of Section Chief Zheng's crime, and when he was embarrassed, Wu Shangzhi appeared in time with the evidence to relieve him, and then the two drank, Zhang Kelai couldn't help but get drunk at Wu Shangzhi's door after sending the drunk Wu Shangzhi home.
The ups and downs of the plot of this episode are wonderful, Wu Sang-sik played by Lee Sung-min has become the protagonist, and the charm of this character has also begun to bloom, and many people on the Internet have expressed their love for this role, and there is even a faint tendency to suppress the male proposition.
Sure enough, after the ratings were counted early the next morning, everyone was shocked.
「5.3%。」
The last episode just broke 4, and this episode directly rose by more than one percent, and it broke 5 directly.
This kind of increase is already jaw-dropping for the TV series of cable TV, and after the statistics came out, director Kim Won-seok was still a little skeptical and couldn't believe it, and only after confirming it again and again did he announce it with an excited face, and the whole crew fell into jubilation early in the morning.
Just like in sports like basketball and football, the better the team's results, the better the atmosphere in the team and the more motivated everyone will be.
The TV drama crew is exactly the same, the higher the ratings, the better the external evaluation, the happier everyone's mood is, and the atmosphere of filming is very warm, even if they work overtime late, no one shouts tired, everyone is willing.
Because "Unborn" is about to officially enter the threshold of the general trend TV series.
But Ji Jingyuan's happy mood because of the soaring ratings didn't last for a while, and he was ruthlessly interrupted
Ji Jingyuan was sitting on a canvas chair watching the filming in the field, and he was filming the plot of Li Xingmin and Jiang Sura at this time, and he didn't have his role, so he watched while drinking a drink, and at the same time learned their acting skills, and tried to substitute for his own role.
"Jingyuan."
At this time, Park Jae-hyun suddenly trotted to his side, and after shouting, he took the phone to Ji Jingyuan with a bad expression, and pointed to a red piece of latest news on the screen and motioned him to take a look.
Chi Jingyuan was dull as soon as he saw the title, and the smile on his face just now disappeared suddenly.
Even if you haven't clicked to see the content yet, it's enough to read the title.
"EXO's member tao announced the establishment of his own studio, and at the same time filed a lawsuit with the Seoul Central District Court through his lawyer, formally applying for the annulment of the exclusive contract with SM Entertainment, becoming the second member of EXO to file a lawsuit and leave the team within three months."
Ji Kyung-won didn't have the desire to click on this title to see the specific content, he stared at Park Jae-hyun's mobile phone in front of him for a while, then closed his eyes, pursed his lips, exhaled softly, and shook his hand to signal Park Jae-hyun to take the phone away.
"SM just called me and asked you to go back to the meeting." Park Jae-hyun watched Ji Kyung-won, who was obviously in a bad mood, take back the phone, and after a pause, he still whispered a reminder in his ear.
"Now?" Ji Jingyuan opened his eyes and turned his head to look over.
"Inside, it was said that it was a more important meeting, and Li Xiuman is also back, and I have something to tell you about the return." Park Jae-hyun nodded and gave a general explanation.
"Brother, go and ask for leave for me and the crew, and tell me why."
Ji Kyung-won stood up and packed up his things, smiled and said hello to the actor who noticed next to him, and after waiting for a while, Park Jae-hyun came back and told him that it was done.
It is relatively easy for him to ask for leave, because the recent filming has been going well and the progress is very fast, and the crew has retained a lot of weight.
and director
After Kim Won-seok said goodbye to the main creators of the crew, Ji Kyung-won got into the nanny car and began to return to SM Company.
Neither the assistant Choi Zhichang nor Park Jae-hyun spoke, one was driving silently, and the other was silently operating the mobile phone, which should be in contact with SM, and the whole car seemed a little silent.
But no matter how no one spoke, the noisy traffic outside still kept coming in and around, and from time to time a shrill brake sound made people frown, giving people a feeling that the trees wanted to be quiet and the wind did not stop.
Chi Jingyuan sat in the back seat and was reading the comments on the Internet with his mobile phone, the news was exposed for less than half an hour, but now it has become the headline of major news websites, and the search ranking has also climbed to the first place in a very short time, and several entries and headlines have been painted in eye-catching bright red to indicate its popularity.
It stands to reason that with tao's popularity, it is usually impossible to do this kind of attention on the whole network.,But the size of EXO itself is there.,And it's a thing like a member quitting the group.,The second thing that happened in just a few months.,It's still a decisive way to leave with a lawsuit.,It's impossible to pay attention to it.。
tao may not have imagined that he has always been a little marginal since his debut at EXO for so long, and for the first time he has become the first hot search, the focus of the attention of the whole network will actually be at this time when he quits the group.
I don't know if it's luck or irony.
His termination statement was not made on the SNS of the peninsula, but an announcement made on the scarf of Xia Guo, and the peninsula here is to quote the original text of the scarf.
After Chi Jingyuan knew about it, he went directly to the scarf and took a look, and in addition to the "termination" statement on Tao's personal account, he also posted a long article a few minutes later, detailing the reason why he was "forced" to withdraw from the group.
It's a bit long, but Chi Jingyuan still read it patiently.
The reasons for the withdrawal expressed in Tao's article can be summarized in three points, one is that the company's resources are unevenly distributed, and he is too biased towards Peninsula members and popular members, and he has not received a satisfactory answer in several times when he communicates with the company.
The second is that after Luhan left, the company promised to open a personal studio for him, but after the verbal speech, it was not implemented for a long time, and then he and his father communicated with the company has been perfunctory.
In the end, he was overwhelmed by his busy work, and after the injury and fractured bones, he was forced by the company to end the recovery period early and prepare for the concert without considering his physical condition.
This is the most important reason why he decided to leave.
After reading this long article, Chi Jingyuan was noncommittal about the several reasons that Tao said.
Maybe some of the situations that Tao said do exist, or he may have made it up or exaggerated it himself, but whether it is true or not, it is not so important to him.
As for those insinuations......
Ji Jingyuan also took the opportunity to see the reactions of netizens and fans on both sides,
Even though the news has only been out for more than 20 minutes, the Internet has already fallen into a boiling at this time, and all kinds of rumors and comments are flocking in, increasing rapidly every second, and you can see a whole different side with every refresh.
"I thought XO would be able to settle down after luhan left, but I didn't expect that it was only less than three months and tao was gone again, and I'm really uncomfortable now."
"SM is really a water reversal this year, and there is nothing good about it."
"I predicted at the time that the remaining two people of the Xia Kingdom Line would definitely stay for a short time after Luhan left, and it was exactly the same as I said before."
"First Luhan, then Tao, I just want to ask when Yiy is leaving? Or when EXO will disband."
Tao also said that the company is biased towards "popular members", and everyone knows who this "popular member" is, right? Yuan squeezed Luhan away and then squeezed Tao away, really, tsk......
"Squeeze you Xiba, do you believe a traitor who made up casually in order to quit the group? As far as tao's popularity is concerned, do you still need the company's bias? Can you not think too highly of yourself...... Also, do you dare not post this anonymously
Speech, make your ID and private messages public!"
"I don't want to comment on anything, I'm a traitor like Luhan!"
"I don't know why, this time I saw the news that tao sued the group to quit the group, as an EXO fan who has been following me since his debut, I am not as sad and excited as when Luhan quit before, maybe I am used to it...... I don't know why, my feelings for XO are not as hot and fanatical as before, maybe I'm a little tired."
Unlike the countless fans who were sad and sad when luhan quit the group, this time tao is far less large and loyal than luhan, and there are not too many fans who are sad and unacceptable because of his withdrawal at this time, at least it has not directly caused internal divisions among XO fans as it did at the beginning.
But this time it was more troublesome, because it was more of a kind of confusion and pessimism about the future of the EXO group.
Obviously, EXO, which returned with a mini second album in May, is extremely strong, and at the same time as hitting another million sales, several songs are all hot, knocking out all the opponents of the same period, and the momentum is incomparable, and it is only one step away from the three generations of boy groups reaching the top.
Unexpectedly, in July, I met Luhan, a popular topline member, and quit the group.
Forget about one retreat, fans comfort each other, and they can barely hold on.
After a period of silence, the turmoil was about to pass, and when XO was about to get back on track, it retreated a second one in less than a few months.
And discerning fans also have a hunch in their hearts, and the third one should not be far away.
There is no precedent for any member to quit before the summit of all the previous groups in the Peninsula song industry, and even if the members quit, it will be after they officially become the top and ascend to the top.
And now EXO has just been popular for more than a year, and some members have quit the group, and more than one has left, but one after another.
Will anyone leave next? Could that person be my favorite member?
If so, what should I do? Can we keep going?
Countless Ellies are now in this bitter mood in their hearts, a little panicked, and a little dignified, not knowing what happened to their favorite EXO and where they are headed.
In addition to the various complex emotions of fans, it is the carnival of the sunspots, and the news of tao's withdrawal from the group simply made them start a party on the Internet, and all kinds of yin and yang sour words can be seen everywhere, as if they are about to bury EXO in the ground and send it away.
The rise of EXO in the past two years has indeed blocked the way of too many people, many male idol groups have no room to survive, and the Ellie are too strong and arrogant on the Internet, which makes many fan groups a little disgusted.
It's not surprising that it's been left behind now.
After a general look at the messages on the Internet and the reactions of fans, Chi Jingyuan returned to the company in a bad mood, and directly took the elevator upstairs and walked into the conference room on the fourth floor.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw the heads and representatives of the various departments who were already present, as well as the EXO members who had gathered to sit in two rows.
There is also Li Xiuman, who is sitting at the top, who I haven't seen for a long time.
