Lay didn't run away like the first two but stayed in the exo.,It's just that I haven't often returned to the dormitory lately.,I've been meeting and negotiating with the company every day.,Obviously, the mind is no longer here.。

But just like this single that EXO is practicing at this time, let it be.

"The key of the main song part of this song is not very high, and the sound must not be too deep when singing, because the tone itself is low, and if it is too heavy, the listener will easily sound a sense of 'mourning' and 'decadence'."

"But the meaning of the song "Let It Be" is completely opposite, it is to express a feeling of breaking out of the cocoon into a butterfly, breaking the darkness and returning again in the cold and dark winter night."

With the cooperation of the music teacher, Ji Jingyuan is talking to the members about the singing points of the song "Let It Be", as well as his thoughts and settings on the theme of this song.

After SM formalized the plan for the winter single, at the suggestion of Lee so-man, he directly handed over a lot of the work in the guidance exercises and recordings to Ji Kyung-won, and at the same time, after seeing the ideas and ideas of the MV shooting he handed over, he also said that it was very good, and the company could almost follow this plan after revising and adjusting it.

I don't know if I really value and believe in Ji Jingyuan's ability, or if I don't pay much attention to this winter single, anyway, before he becomes one of the producers of the second regular album next year, he will also participate in a lot of production work in this winter song.

While Chi Jingyuan was talking, the music teacher next to him also echoed and added a few words from time to time, the two cooperated very well, and the members were also listening carefully, and some of them directly looked at the score and lowered their voices and tried to hum a few sentences.

Maybe it's been suppressed for a long time because of the recent XO encounters, even if it's just a winter single, but each member is very serious and focused.

And many people really like the melody, lyrics and even meaning of this song, and some of the feelings expressed in the song just echo what they think.

After Chi Jingyuan finished talking in detail, they began to practice together, and the enthusiastic working atmosphere in the whole room continued to rise.

"Let It Be" is a relatively pure lyrical song, without any dance movements is pure singing, but the requirements for the voice and the expression of feelings are still quite large, and the requirements for the lead singer are also very high, and the overall sound needs to be used to create an ethereal feeling when singing, especially the last double A cappella harmony is the essence of sublimating the whole song, and how the harmony sings is very important for the quality of the whole song.

The word 'acapella' is a transliteration from the Italian word that is generally used on the peninsula to refer to a cappella singing without the use of instruments or accompaniment.

The end of "Let It Be" is in this format, and it is also the highlight of the song.

At present, under the company's arrangement, the last harmony is sung by Chi Jingyuan and Du Junxiu, but I haven't entered the studio yet, and I can't hear how the effect is, and if the performance is not good, it is estimated that I will have to be replaced.

However, as one of the members with the best singing skills in XO, if they can't do both, I guess the others will be choked enough.

According to the part, most of the singing sections of the song "Let It Be Natural" are all completed by the four lead singers, including some pads and harmonies, and the other five people have a little more parts of Jin Junmian, and most of the other four people only have one or two sentences.

Because some members with average singing skills can also rely on the tuner to repair their voices to alleviate the embarrassment of singing skills when recording, but if the live stage is open, they will easily expose their original form and cause a car accident scene, so it is better to be more restrained, and it is more appropriate to hand over this task of comparing singing skills to a few lead singers.

However, in this kind of lyrical song with high requirements, one or two lines is very good, which is much better than Yun'er's predecessors not being able to get a word.

…………

For the next two days, the members of EXO focused on this winter single, and the lead singers will consciously start practicing after running their personal trips.

And Ji Jingyuan will rush back to the company to practice overtime with the members after finishing the filming work of the crew every day, and will stay in the company to work overtime to sort out the return plan of the regular second series after the end.

I have to say that the strength of several lead singers of EXO is quite outstanding, this difficult lyric is very fast under their efforts, and there is no problem with singing together in just two days, and if you are a little familiar with it, you can almost enter the studio and start recording.

And lay, who has been lingering around, but is becoming more and more out of place, finally has the final result.

At noon on November 8th, a week after TAO left the team, SM officially issued a statement, announcing that Lay, a member of EXO Xia nationality, will set up a personal studio with the assistance of the company, and will officially focus on the activities of Xia Guo after the neon tour in November, and will participate less in group activities.

Although he focuses on his career in the mainland, SM also said that Lay is still one of the members of EXO and has not quit the group.

The result of waiting for several days has finally arrived, and this time there is no surprise or surprise for Ji Jingyuan and other members, and even their mood has hardly been affected.

The thoughts that should have been surging over me when I was preparing for the winter single two days ago and saw that he didn't participate, and after a few days, I had already calmed down, and I didn't bother to think about these issues anymore, and everyone focused on the return next month.

Although the members of EXO didn't have much emotion about the result this time, it caused a lot of turmoil for the black fans who had been looking forward to it, even the passers-by who watched the excitement, and the fans who have been caring about XO.

"It's said 'I'm still a member of EXO', but what kind of XO member is if I don't participate in group activities? Isn't it interesting, who to fool? ”

"Hahaha, I expected it a long time ago (look at the post I made when Luhan ran a few months ago), Luhan must have stayed for a short time after walking the other two Xia Guo lines, sure enough."

"Can you run cleanly? What does it mean to 'focus on the summer country'? Does it mean that you won't be involved in the trip and return on this side of the peninsula? Then why don't you just learn from your two seniors to sue for the invalidity of the contract? Why do you have to hang the EXO brand? But you really think that doing this will make some fans feel good about you, right? ”

"Actually, Lay is already out of the group, but SM saw that the other Xia Guo members who ran back were mixing very well over there, and he was reluctant to benefit from Lai's activities in Xia Guo, so he made such a ridiculous statement of inconsistencies."

"It's really good to look at FX's Victoria, who hasn't run for so many years in SM, and suddenly has a good impression of her in such a comparison...... Unlike these XO ones, have they all gone for two years. ”

"It's disgusting that this kind of retreat is really disgusting, anyway, in my heart, there are only 9 people left from now on, I hope that the nine Oba will set sail again, come on, I will always support you!"

"Although I have expected it for a long time, I still feel empty after seeing Lay also leave, from 12, to 11, to 10, today it will become 9, and tomorrow will it become 8......"

"Xia Guo's line is all gone, and there are only three people left in the EXO-M team, so that the M team has no meaning to exist, it is completely in name only, and the concept and setting of EXO's debut is that the two KM teams will carry out activities separately, and now only the K team is directly lame, and the framework of the entire group has collapsed."

"It's true that Team M can be disbanded directly, and EXO is completely finished."

"Yuan Oba is still there, exo can't be finished!

”

“…………”

In the crew of "Unborn" in Seoul Plaza, Ji Jingyuan, who had rested for a while after eating, sat up on the stool at this time, looking at the flood of comments on the Internet on his mobile phone, and his heart was complicated and a little noncommittal.

SM's statement seems a bit ridiculous, and Lay is indeed almost out of the group.

It's true that he won't go himself.

As for whether EXO will be finished, he doesn't know, but Team M, as some people say, is indeed in name only.

The impact of the three Xia Kingdom lines leaving all of the EXO is really very large, the first is the direct collapse of the EXO-M detachment, no one will expect the three Peninsula members to continue XO's activities in the mainland, and the Chinese spoken a little better among them, and the others just stayed at the level of saying hello.

And without the participation of members of their own nationality, the enthusiasm and sense of substitution of fans will be greatly reduced, and it is actually meaningless to continue to support Team M's activities in Xia Guo.

And the reason why EXO has completely broken the fire in the newly debuted boy group in the past two years, and the sales have broken the ceiling and pulled the overall market, many of them are because they are very popular in the summer and China, and each time they return to the album, they account for more than one-third of the loss, and fans in the mainland have made a decisive contribution to the overall performance of EXO.

The current situation of Team M has directly impacted the detachment activities that EXO has been maintaining, and the domestic market in Xia can be said to have collapsed directly.

This also seriously affected SM company's plan for EXO, from the beginning of XO's debut, the setting is the boy group of the two countries of the Xia Peninsula, their albums every time they return are basically all Chinese and Korean bilingual dual versions, and the M team is simply and directly debuted in the Xia Kingdom, which can not be said to be unimportant, and now after the three leave the team, the company also needs to make significant adjustments to the future development direction of XO.

Should Team M be disbanded or not? After losing the members of the Xia Country Line, should EXO pay so much attention to the market of the Xia Kingdom? Is it necessary to change the direction of development and focus future activities on neon, or Europe and the United States, in addition to the peninsula?

This is something that companies need to think about urgently.

The second is the problem of dance, and the choreography of all the dances of the title song of EXO is almost all K and M teams in the two main choruses, and the last one is in the form of everyone on the stage dancing together, from "Mama" to "Roaring Filial Piety" to "Addiction".

If you run one, you can still find Chi Jingyuan to make a cameo in the past to fill the number of people, and you can barely run two, but now that all 3 are gone, there are only three people left in the M team, and of course this kind of choreography can't go on.

I don't know what the future will be, and the most important thing now is that EXO needs to change all the choreography of all the previous songs from 12 to 9 people, otherwise they won't even be able to go on stage now.

From the form of two teams performing separately and then combining to a nine-member group, although the specific choreography may not change, whether it is the part distribution or the change of position, the workload of so many songs can be imagined.

It's no wonder that the company's statement said that Lay would not officially focus on mainland activities until the completion of this month's neon tour, giving the remaining nine members a certain amount of buffer time, otherwise unless a backup dancer wears a mask to stand on the stage, the upcoming Fukuoka concert will not know how to proceed.

Finally, it's the impact and impact on fans, and it's unbearable for any fan who likes exo to quit the group in a row......

Forget it, watching too much really affects the mood.

Chi Jingyuan shook his head and swiped away the webpage on his phone.

He belongs to the kind of character who laughs at his black comments when he sees them on the Internet, and sometimes he even takes the initiative to share them with the members.

The black comments didn't have much impact on him, but seeing their fans Aili all kinds of disappointments and sadness because of these things made Chi Jingyuan feel very uncomfortable, especially after seeing a lot of familiar fan IDs that he had seen before, or taking off their fans, or climbing the wall, it was even more uncomfortable.

Fans are the lifeblood of idol, and they are also one of the important reasons why he loves this profession and works hard for it.

However, although some people have withdrawn from the group continuously, it will cause a big blow to the fans and even the overall soul of the group, but they have not caused a real scandal after all, at most it is some innocuous rumors such as 'royal family grabbing resources', and there is no real hammer that really collapses the image.

For example, Tara, BTS's bullying news, and YG's various revelations about reading and drinking, these are the real blows that make it difficult for the idol group to turn over.

Although the serious impact of quitting the group is very bad, it does not involve the law and does not affect morality.

It's gratifying that neither Luhan nor Tao got involved in this kind of thing when they left, at most it means that it clearly or insinuated the unfair distribution of the company's resources, 'the popular members are too emperor' and the like, and there is no such thing as 'bullying' at all.

Although it is true that this is not the case within the XO team itself.

But if you dig a little deeper, after Luhan left, many members did have a crowding out behavior for the remaining two Xia Guo lines, saying that it is not small, and it is not big to say that it is big.

Thinking about it on a good note, compared to them, it's not irretrievable that the members of EXO have withdrawn from the group continuously.

At the end of the day, the idol group still depends on the works, the quality of the songs, and the charm on stage, and it doesn't really work to say anything when fans are panicking now, and they need to use a successful comeback to redeem the current somewhat stormy exo.

As long as they can continue to explode next year, maybe these fans who have taken off their meals will come back, and all those who look down on them will also change their opinions, and the black fans who jump up and down like the New Year and the fans of other boy groups will immediately shut up and dive and disappear quietly, and even exo has the possibility of making progress.

It's like "Roaring Filial Piety" in the past.

"Brother, Lay's personal studio over there should be a cooperation between SM and an economic company in the mainland, right?"

"I didn't pay attention to this, but I think it should be, he must have participated in it himself."

Putting down the phone, I heard the voice of the assistant Choi Ji-chang and Park Jae-hyun chatting next to me, and they hadn't finished eating at this time, and they talked about exo while eating.

"A few of them are running fast, and after they go back, they develop better than the other, and I don't know how much impact it has on the trainees of other Xia nationalities, it's really ......"

Cui Zhichang was obviously a little dissatisfied with a few people, and his tone was obviously unhappy with the criticism of several members who left the team.

"What's wrong?"

After hearing this, Chi Jingyuan became interested, turned his head and asked.

"Jingyuan, you have been too busy these days to pay attention, because of the reasons of the few members who have withdrawn from the group, the company has cleared most of the trainees of Xia nationality in the past two days, leaving only a few who have some connections and are really optimistic, and the others will directly let them leave without any leeway."

"In the past two days, I can often see people crying and leaving with things, and some parents of dismissed trainees have also made trouble in the company in the past two days."

Hurriedly swallowing what was in his mouth, Cui Zhichang hurriedly replied as if reporting news, shaking his head as he spoke, and he didn't know whether it was dissatisfaction with SM's decision or disgust with those people.

"And that kind of thing?"

Chi Jingyuan was a little surprised at first, but he soon understood and knew it in his heart.

Wu Saike, and the matter of EXO in front of him is a good example, the members of Xia Guo, who have been cultivated for many years and concentrated a lot of resources, have been sued and run away one after another, but SM has nothing to do, except for incompetent and furious smearing the other party, and then responding to the lawsuit, there are not many measures to do.

Even if you win the lawsuit in the future, you can get a share of the other party's income, but it still seems to be a bit more than worth the loss for the company's overall planning and strong combination.

It's really because the Xia country has a good economy and the market is too big, and there is a lot more money made over there than here, and the idols of the Xia nationality have their own way out after becoming famous, and SM has no room for countermeasures, so they simply emptied most of the Xia country trainees and didn't cultivate them.

As for whether it will be accepted in the future, it depends on the situation at that time.

This resolute approach also shows that SM has indeed been greatly affected in this exo matter, and even the company's overall strategy has begun to adjust in the future.

Although I feel that the company's approach is indeed a bit biased, it is understandable if Chi Jingyuan looks at it objectively.

However, these people will not be unemployed if they can't stay in SM, and they can go to other companies to try again, because the trainees who go out from large companies have always been of relatively high quality and are very sought-after in the industry.

"And it's not just our company, I heard that many other companies in the industry have also fired a lot of summer trainees because of XO things, and some groups that are close to their debut have been affected."

Park Jae-hyun also interjected at this time: "After all, SM can't do anything about this kind of thing, let alone a small company, and it is definitely an unacceptable loss for them to finally come up with a popular member who suddenly quits the group and runs away." ”

"......" Chi Jingyuan nodded silently, what he said made sense.

Suddenly, he froze for a moment, as if he remembered something, quickly picked up the mobile phone on the table, swiped it, and sent a message out after tapping it continuously.

…………

"What the hell is the situation with EXO, why are there only 9 people left all of a sudden?"

"Obviously, when I came back a few months ago, it was still so trendy, I really liked the stage of Yuan's "Dope" and the direct shooting, and I watched it several times."

"I also like this, Yuan's police uniform is really handsome!"

"It's a pity."

JYP company building, Zhou Ziyu, who returned to the practice room after eating, just sat here, and heard several female trainees not far away getting together and discussing passionately, the voice was not small and very clear, she knew that she was talking about exo after listening to two sentences.

After laying in name only, the exo of only 9 people suddenly became the focus of discussion on the Internet, and in reality, especially in the music industry, many people in the industry are also talking about it, such as many trainees who have often talked about this matter in the past two days in private.

Her progress in Korean is neither fast nor slow, and she can't be said to be proficient until now, but as long as she doesn't speak too fast and doesn't have rare words, there is no problem in daily communication or listening to a corner.

Of course, she also heard about the matter over there, and took the initiative to send a message to Chi Jingyuan to care about it, but the other party's reply was intermittent, either it would be a long time before it was returned, or it was simply not seen directly, especially a text message sent the day before yesterday that there was no sound to this day, as if she completely ignored her.

However, she also knows that Ji Jingyuan has been very busy recently, and the last time she heard him say that in addition to filming TV series, he has to return to the company to work overtime every day, as if he is preparing for his return, and it is understandable that he is not free or too lazy to reply to these news that he has nothing to do.

And she is actually used to it, but even so, Zhou Ziyu is a little dissatisfied with the other party's behavior of always ignoring her text messages.

It's just that he can't meet each other, and Zhou Ziyu's way of expressing dissatisfaction is to hold it in his heart and vomit himself.

"EXO so I don't know who the next men's group to reach the top is, and there's no hope for XO to come out of this kind of thing."

The voices of their discussions about Chi Jingyuan kept coming from their ears, and they were all downcast:

"Even so, the number of their fans is still a fault line in the boy group, especially the number and fanaticism of Aili and Yuan Wei fans, you don't know it, this is all famous in the circle."

"The impact of withdrawing from the group is big enough, and no matter how many fans there are, they can't resist the withdrawal of the group one after another."

"I also think that EXO has no drama, there is no summit group before the summit has members quit the group, I estimate that EXO will be a little more stable next time he returns, and then it will be almost the same to maintain a first-line men's group, and it is unlikely to go further...... It's a pity, how good the momentum was before. ”

"Isn't this very good, exo is down, and the seniors of our company got7 can't catch up, and there is hope to become the top."

After the last sentence came out, the scene immediately quieted down strangely, and several trainees who participated in the discussion looked at the girl who said this sentence, and looked at each other with strange eyes.

Just when Zhou Ziyu also felt a little laughing, there was a sudden shock in her pocket, she hurriedly took it out and looked at it, her eyes flashed, and she found that it was sent by Chi Jingyuan:

"Have you been affected in any way at JYP?"
