Chapter Forty-Six: Didn't Communicate with Outsiders
One of the highlights of the song "Spring Day" is the melody and artistic conception of the prelude, which was liked by many people when the music source was just released and the word of mouth was mixed.
The electronically synthesized music of the original is now gone, and the band playing it with a limited number of instruments has a different flavor.
There are fewer fireworks, but more coldness.
This prelude directly made Yin Shigui, who was still a little casual just now, immediately cheer up, put his legs down and changed to a more comfortable sitting position, leaned forward slightly, and looked at the TV screen seriously and listened.
This song is pretty good, and the previous "Roar" is a completely two-flavor song, and this EXO style is quite changeable. β
'There are no mistakes on the live stage, but the listening feeling is also very good, and the boy group sings lyrical songs so much? β
And these lead singers are quite strong, especially this one...... Pond View Source ......'
The natural slightly surging melody, the tactful and clear singing, the tacit and gentle harmony blended and intertwined at this time, gently emanating from the sound, slowly wandering in the living room where Yin Shigui was, until a warm movement filled every corner.
It's late at half past twelve in the morning, the surroundings are very quiet and there is no noise, the TV living room with the lights off can only hear the pleasant music constantly sounding, the contrast between silence and noise, in the cold midnight, it makes this moment seem extraordinarily atmospheric.
All sounds are silent, only spring blooms.
Silently listening to the iconic harmonies of several lead singers of EXO in the last paragraph, looking at Ji Jingyuan, who was covering the headset on the screen, hanging his head and closing his eyes, and had fully invested in it, Yin Shigui's heart suddenly opened up with the melody and artistic conception of "Spring Day", and at the same time, he also had a lot of interest in this boy group that had been famous for a long time.
Even if he doesn't know much about the boy group, and even has a little congenital prejudice in his heart, Yoon Seok-gyu still admits that the live effect of this issue is very good, and he likes this stage.
He also changed a lot of his opinion of these members who were serious about singing, even if their faces didn't look like any powerful people at all.
'This boy band...... Yes, it's amazing. β
'This song is also very good......
Watching EXO's nine people end the curtain call, Yin Shigui nodded secretly in his heart and couldn't help but praise.
He suddenly lost some interest in the next guest, Park Jinying, and after glancing at it twice, he withdrew his gaze, cocked Erlang's legs, took out his mobile phone and began to search for EXO, and after reading the information, he specially added "Spring Day" to his song list.
I wanted to recommend it to my friends, but when I saw that it was so late, I had to give up.
Let's talk about it tomorrow.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Although the average ratings of "Yoo Hee-yeol's Sketchbook" are good, because the recent episodes of the program have no explosive points and high-quality stages, the ratings have been a little unsatisfactory during this time, and the ratings of the last episode, that is, the episode broadcast on April 3, were only 0.7%, which was lower than the average of the program.
The ratings of this episode on the morning of the 12th have taken a big leap, jumping directly to 2.2%, more than tripling from the previous episode.
Such a big increase even surprised the program team when they were excited, although it can't be said that all of it is due to EXO, after all, they are not the only guests in this issue, such as Park Jin-young, who also has a high national degree, and many people like his music.
However, presumably, the role of XO in this should be unquestionable.
After this issue of "Yoo Hee-yeol's Sketchbook" was broadcast, it was #ηθ―ζ‘η»δΈδΊηζ at noon the next day with EXO "Yoo Hee-yeol", which immediately attracted a lot of people who had not watched the live broadcast of the show and were interested in clicking on it to check it out, and after watching it, I went to YouTube to watch the video of this episode of the show, and after seeing the live stage with excellent quality of EXO's current issue, I couldn't help but leave a comment below, and most people couldn't help but listen to "Spring Day", and some would recommend it to friends, In this way, a benign chain is formed.
As the popularity slowly spreads, at 11 o'clock at noon today, EXO's "Spring Day" finally surpassed "only you" on the list that has been pressed on the head for more than ten days, and topped Melon's daily chart for the first time since the sound source was released, and began to catch up with each other on the weekly list, according to this progress, MissA should be able to be dragged down in a day or two.
After more than ten days of releasing the song, there was an amazing contrarian increase, and the popularity and number of listeners were even higher than those of the first few days of the song, which had to surprise many listeners and even practitioners in the circle.
Of course, this situation cannot be fully attributed to the program "Yoo Hee-yeol's Sketchbook", the main reason is that the song is good and the quality is hard enough, and more and more people listen to it, and the word of mouth continues to spread and ferment, and this show mainly acts as an introduction and plays a role in boosting.
It can be regarded as a mutual achievement.
And today, if you look at the online comments of the song "Spring Day", you will find that the reputation of this song has been greatly reversed and improved unconsciously, and the comments that were once filled with all kinds of 'ordinary', 'ugly', 'disappointed', and 'I won't listen to it again after listening to it once' have sunk down when I don't know when it will sink, and even if you can still see it, the number of people who echo it has decreased significantly.
Nowadays, the highest likes, several passers-by and listeners have relatively objective evaluations:
"'Spring Day' is a song that I want to listen to again."
"The MV for "Spring Day" is art, the lyrics are also very touching, and the overall melody is very nice and meaningful......"
"Through this song, I found that the boy group is not completely unable to sing lyrically...... The other boy bands don't know, but at least EXO feels pretty good. β
Not only did the word-of-mouth counterattack of "Spring Day" topped the daily list, but at the same time, the impression of EXO in the hearts of many passers-by and listeners was much better, which is also a very surprising thing.
Some of the purposes and hopes of Lee Xiuman, Ji Jingyuan and SM Company who chose this lyric song as the title song of "X" have also achieved a little.
Although it cannot be said that it has been completely done, at least it has made a good start.
On the same day on the 12th, JYP president Park Jin-young announced his return to the music scene with the digital album "24/34" for the first time in one year and seven months, and performed a new song for the first time in the fourth season of the talent show "K-POP STAR", of which he was a judge.
The title song of his comeback this time, "Who Is Your Mother?" Although the lyrics are a bit rubbing, there is a suspicion that the little yellow song is not a serious song, but the popularity is really high, and as soon as it was released, it immediately climbed to the top of the major music source charts, directly surpassing the first place that had just been squeezed out, MissA's "only you" climbed to the second position, and the first EXO's "Spring Day" started a competition for the top spot.
But when it comes to competition, in fact, the data between the two is still a lot worse.
In this way, a very interesting situation has been formed, "Spring" reversed and surpassed "only you" to top the list, Park Jin-young returned to avenge his disciple but stopped second, the top three on the music list were completely occupied by SM and JYP, and the scene where the two groups of returning artists of JYP were firmly pressed by EXO caused a lot of discussion, and some media even made special press releases to report.
"Originally, it was supposed to be a family war in which JYP artists ranked first and second, but it was robbed of the scene by the sudden outbreak of "Spring Day", looking at the popularity and trend of "Spring Day", it is estimated that it will be difficult to get down from one next, this week's Zhou Guan may be able to get it, pressing two JYP to get Zhou Guan, I really don't know what kind of expression JYP company should be."
Park Jin-young released a song two weeks after MissA's return, and directly squeezed down the songs of his own artists, isn't this standing in the way of his own artists? Is there something wrong with being the president? β
"EXO is really good this time, it's unbelievable that a boy group can beat MissA and Park Jin-young."
"kkk smiled, JYP is really the company's decline is too great, the president personally went into battle, and the two groups of artists can't beat SM any boy group, and there is really a reason why the stock price is low."
ββ¦β¦β¦β
"Why is the sound source of "Spring Day" getting better and better...... Alas, MissA's predecessors were overtaken, and PD nim's new song was only in second place. β
Yu Dingyan looked at the list and comments on his phone, surprised and a little disappointed and said to Lin Nalian who was sitting next to him.
At this time, the two groups of "Sixteen" were preparing to go to the photographer's place to record the second episode of the program, and the nine members of their "errand group" were huddled in a nanny car, resting and chatting.
After hearing her words, several people sitting next to them couldn't help but cast their eyes over.
ββ¦β¦ Neither of the two groups of artists can beat SM any boy group......"
deliberately read out a draft seen on the mobile phone in a subdued tone with a broadcast voice, and after reading it, Lin Nalian blinked her eyes, put on a worried look and said: "I really feel that our company may be finished." β
"Hahaha, let the head of the room hear you and you'll die."
Yu Dingyan couldn't help but pat her and laughed, and there was also a burst of laughter next to her.
I could tell that she was joking, after all, the second and third results of the sound source were actually very good.
However, JYP is in a bad situation now, in fact, they all know it in their hearts, but this kind of thing has nothing to do with them as little trainees, and it is not their turn to care.
The car drove for dozens of minutes, and soon arrived at the location of this recording, which was located in Zhao Shanxi's studio in JB District.
Under the leadership of the room manager, more than a dozen girls walked into this photography studio, which is several stories high and covers a large area, and after entering, they first greeted the photographer Zhao Shanxi and the staff who had set up the shooting equipment in the venue, and then visited the photography studio a little under the leadership of Zhao Shanxi.
"Wow, the Wonder Girls seniors, and the 2PM seniors, they all shot so well."
Within two steps, they were attracted by the pictorial of the idol artist in the glass frames hanging on the left and right sides of the corridor, and they quickly walked over and pointed to the pictorial and began to discuss.
"There are also MissA's seniors and PD nim, and the company's seniors seem to have filmed here."
"And it looks like it's all pictorials that have just returned this time, so it turns out that they were all filmed here."
"This was taken last month...... Cho Sun-hee nodded and responded simply, then she tilted her head and looked at the pictorial of Park Jin-young in front of her and frowned slightly: "This one looks like it feels a little bit wrong with the light now......"
Zhao Shanxin looks like she is about 30 years old, with black-framed glasses, a haircut like withered grass and a cape and blonde hair that is very good at art practitioners, she is a well-known photographer in the industry, she is very good at album covers and pictorial shooting, and has a long-term cooperative relationship with JYP company, most of JYP's album covers are shot by her, including MissA and Park Jinying, who have just returned.
This time, the title of the second issue of "sixteen" was to test the level of this group of female trainees in shooting pictorials, and after some communication, JYP simply put the shooting venue directly in her studio, and the photographer was also personally on the battlefield.
"Oh Mo, and EXO's Yuan's pictorial?"
At this moment, a surprised voice came, and several girls gathered in front of a few pictorials not far in front of them and looked at them in surprise.
Hearing this familiar name, Zhou Ziyu, who was originally following the visit, and Mingjing Nan were stunned, sped up their pace, leaned over, and stood there curiously looking.
"Oh, it was last year, when Yuan and Suzy were working together on "some", and they were introduced to me by JYP."
Zhao Shanxii smiled when he saw it, walked over and swept his gaze over Ji Jingyuan's face, as if he recalled the scene he shot at that time, and couldn't help but praise when he introduced: "Ji Jingyuan is very good at taking photos, many photos are very feeling, and it is very comfortable when working together, among so many artists who have cooperated, he left a deep impression on me." β
"For example, I like this one very much, although the appearance is superior, but it doesn't jump out too much, and it doesn't make people nostalgic for the facial features, but mainly highlights a sense of atmosphere......"
Sensing that these trainees seemed to be very interested, she tilted her head and looked at the pictorial in front of her and briefly introduced a few words, but she didn't talk much, and after staying for a while, she took the lead to visit some other places, and it didn't take long for the official shooting to begin.
Today's session is that two groups shoot group pictorials in different styles, the major group shoots first, and then the poor student group.
"Ziyu looks like a model."
After taking dozens of photos, the 'poor student group' gathered next to the monitor to watch the shooting effect, Zhao Shanxi sat on the chair and watched for a while, couldn't help but turn his head to glance at Zhou Ziyu standing behind him, and asked curiously: "Have you ever been a model?" β
Zhou Ziyu was wearing a red fur-edged cap at this time, her hair was dyed brown and tied with a side ponytail on the right side of her head, and the ponytail was specially textured to add some fashion sense.
"Hey......
As if sensing the other party's praise, Zhou Ziyu grinned and showed two rows of teeth, a pair of lying silkworms trembled together, a little happy, and a little embarrassed to laugh, his voice was very soft, and he shook his head twisted: "Ani, oh ......"
"Haven't you done it?"
Zhao Shanxi glanced at her in surprise, and then pointed to the photo on the monitor: "The expression is well managed, it is very natural when taking pictures, and it is not too prominent when showing your advantages." β
"The expressions, the eyes, and especially the posture seem to emanate from the body, and it is a great feeling to grasp the center of gravity, and look at this one, and this one, many of them have a good effect, and it feels like a very experienced shooting experience......"
Switching several photos, pointing with his hand on the monitor, Zhao Shanxi-hee couldn't help but look back again, and asked again with a shy and happy smile on his face because of last week's praise: "Have you really not taken it before?" β
"No ......"
got exactly the same answer, Zhao Shanxi looked Zhou Ziyu up and down, and nodded: "That's really good." β
A pair of big eyes sparkled with happy light, and the undisguised praise made Zhou Ziyu laugh sweetly, and after a few seconds, he seemed to think of something in his heart, and the corners of his mouth curled higher.
The other female trainees around were a little surprised and kept looking at Zhou Ziyu, some were smiling, as if they were happy for her, and some couldn't hide the surprise on their faces even if there was a camera next to them that was shooting.
There are even a few people who have a bad expression and seem to be a little dissatisfied.
From the beginning of the comment photo just now, Zhao Shanxi-hee almost didn't say much good things about anyone, and in the face of the female trainee who talked about before, she gave either a very ordinary comment, or she criticized directly and unceremoniously, and she was very professional but didn't give any affection.
I didn't expect to look very appreciative when I came to Zhou Ziyu, and what kind of things like 'have you ever been a model' and 'really good', obviously Zhao Shanxi-hee thinks that her pictorial is very good.
Looking at it this way, isn't she steadily promoted to the major group this time and won't be eliminated?
didn't care about the various sights that came from time to time around him, Zhou Ziyu put the lollipop into his mouth again and ate it happily.
Happy!
β¦β¦
"It felt super good today! When I checked the pictorial, the photographer teacher kept complimenting me, hehe, this time I shouldn't be eliminated, maybe I can be promoted to the major group! (Laughter)"
After being busy all afternoon and not until the evening, the shooting was completed, and just after returning to the company, Zhou Ziyu couldn't help but take out his mobile phone and send a message to Chi Jingyuan after finding a position, sharing the excitement in his heart.
"So good?"
The reply was very fast, and it is estimated that Chi Jingyuan is just free at this time.
"Well, what you taught me before is really helpful, and the photographer teacher praised me for what you said before, thank you." Thinking of the recording he had listened to many times two days ago, and the praise he received when he tested the results today, Zhou Ziyu's eyes couldn't help but bend again.
She is really happy today, and the situation and mood of being ruthlessly criticized by Park Jinying and the teacher in the last issue, being watched by others with strange eyes, and on the verge of elimination.
I'm happy that I have eaten too much dinner just now.
After waiting for a while, the other party replied with two messages in a row:
"Okay, just those few words, if it were really that useful, I would have been able to open a training class to make money."
ββ¦β¦ The main thing is that you yourself are talented in this area. β
'I'm so talented......
What talent does it take to shoot pictorials?
Stature, appearance, temperament, skill and experience.
Zhou Ziyu silently tasted this sentence, blinked after understanding, held it for a few seconds and still didn't hold back, and laughed out loud all of a sudden, but then remembered something, the smile converged and Nu's mouth expression seemed to be a little regretful, holding the mobile phone in both hands, and his fingers quickly tapped on the screen:
"It's a pity that in the afternoon, the director said that the company was worried that the picture would be leaked in advance, so we didn't let us take a selfie, otherwise I can show you the photos, my look good today, although the clothes I chose before have been replaced, but there are still some that I match myself, it's a pity. (wink)"
"Well, alas."
Although the reply was fast, the obviously perfunctory text and the tone that seemed to be completely uninterested made Zhou Ziyu a little dissatisfied after seeing it, wrinkled his nose and hesitated for a few seconds, thought about it and sent it over: "What are you doing?" β
This time I waited for about a minute, and when she was a little anxious, Chi Jingyuan replied, and after clicking on the message, the text on it was 'shooting MV', and the next photo instantly came into view.
I saw that Chi Jingyuan was wearing a standard football jersey at this time, the number 5 on the jersey, as well as the shoulders and chest supported by the protective gear, looked very conspicuous, and the jersey was obviously worn, with a lot of dust and stains on it, and it looked like he had just finished a fierce game.
In the photo, he was sitting in a place like the team's locker room, pursing his lips and looking at the camera, as if he was a little impatient, but looking at the bloodstain and scar makeup painted on the left side of Chi Jingyuan's face, with the clear sweat stains on his forehead and bangs, plus the distressed jersey with a very feeling, Zhou Ziyu was a little stunned when he saw it, and he felt a sense of impact coming to his face, and his heartbeat accelerated slightly.
After Chi Jingyuan took a selfie, he sighed, picked up a bottle of mineral water next to him, opened it and poured a few sips.
They had been filming the MV before, and they had just entered a short break, and Zhou Ziyu's text message came over before they sat down for a while.
"Can you send unreleased MV makeup photos to outsiders in advance? You'll be taught a lesson by the company......"
Zhou Ziyu's reply was a little slow, and he didn't comment on the selfie just now, but was a little worried.
After seeing it, Chi Jingyuan pursed his lips speechlessly, and casually typed a few words and sent:
"You think I'm you?"
After sending it, he hesitated for two seconds, looked up at the members in front of him who had just gone to the bathroom, and then followed:
"And I didn't send it to outsiders."
