"Entertainment: According to the list, the physical sales of the second EXO regular album "EXO-L" released on the 1st of this month reached one on the evening of the 11th, and officially exceeded one million on the 11th of sale, ranking on the million sales list!

So far, in 2013, EXO broke the 12-year record with the regular album "XOXO", and after reaching the million sales list for the first time, this is the third time they have achieved this amazing achievement.

It is reported that "EXO-L" is a collection of four single albums released in the previous four months, "E", "X", "O", "L", and two new songs were added to the integration, and on the first day of release, it occupied a place in nearly 70 countries and regions around the world on the ITUOP album chart, and one of the title songs, "Boywithluv", successfully landed on Billboard in the second week of June, with the highest ranking of 25, and has been on the list for four weeks. It shows the undisputed global popularity of the new generation of KPOP kings.

The pre-sale of the second official album "Exo-L" exceeded 800,000 copies, surpassing the highest pre-sale record set by their previous mini-second album "Overdose", and at the same time refreshing themselves, they also created a new Kpop album pre-sale record.

"Daum: EXO Regular II Album once again reached one million sales, while setting a number of amazing records.

"Google Korea: The effect of the tidbits collection is obvious, and the sales of EXO have increased sharply against the trend, successfully selling one million copies", "When the physical album is declining, EXO was born, and it continues to blow up the national eyeballs to create sales myths, bringing KPOP to the world and driving the entire market to rise, making outstanding contributions to the peninsula song industry", "Market breaker!

EXO sales are too exaggerated and squeeze out the living space of other Kpop idol groups! On whether the existence of EXO is good or bad for the development of Kpop.

"When will the fan economy go? From the crazy large number of exo fans who have repeatedly bought albums, looking at today's increasingly sick idol market...... "For the circle, this kind of heavyweight news is of course impossible not to report, and even because now Chi Jingyuan's influence is no longer limited to the music industry, many current political news have even issued a press release on this matter, and at the same time, there are many marketing accounts fanning the flames, not praising with the mainstream, but trying to do it from a lot of dark angles, but seeing these overwhelming news, Including some fans of Aili, many people didn't have much reaction after seeing it, and when they saw these reports, their first reaction was: "Millions of sales? EXO again? Can you stop reporting this, it's also news? ”

"When I pre-sold 800,000, I knew that it would be 100% million, and I was not surprised at all after seeing it today." Many people were indifferent to the news, and even felt a little bored.

Because of this unimaginable number for other groups, XO has been the norm since '13, and as long as they return, they can see it almost every year.

However, once again completing this achievement, although it was a little boring, the Ellies naturally obtained a sharp weapon and launched a fierce attack on .p, who still had a lot of stubborn resistance to this day: "See? Another mediocre million sales, plus the previous four singles, this year's XO cumulative is about to reach three million, better than you is better than you, what else is there to say? ”

"The gap between various data is already so obvious, and the outside world has already recognized that the two regiments have won and lost this time, why are there still so many brainless fans who like to be hard-mouthed? Don't you feel ashamed to be there like a clown, and follow your brother to suck the powder? ”

"XO has a million singles, but what is the sales of BIGBANG's single "D" released this month? I'll help you take a look...... More than 80,000 and almost 90,000, I didn't expect it to sell quite well, almost catching up with our tenths. ”

"Why doesn't .p show his head? What about people? "Because of the amazing performance of their own owner,Let Ellie also win a big victory in the battle with .p.,Two months ago, the scene of the two fan groups on the Internet is no longer visible.,Now .p all have a tacit understanding of diving and pretending to die.,Let the other party be arrogant and taunt and don't show up.,Because they know,Silence is the best way to deal with it.,Really angry to quarrel will only lose more ugly.。

Who can't beat their idols? Moreover, after BIGBANG lost in the head-to-head competition, there has also begun to be a serious phenomenon of running fans, and the celebrity fans who have gathered because of their fame and popularity have been losing very quickly recently, and quite a few of them have jumped directly to the EXO.

Even though BIGBANG's results are not bad, or even very good, the competition in the Peninsula music industry is so fierce, and the market is so small that only one TOP group can be accommodated on the top of the mountain.

It used to be them, but now it's a different person. Not to mention the disputes in the fan circle, to be honest, the shock caused by the 'million sales' news this time is indeed not as big as imagined compared to before, but fans and passers-by may have been used to it, but this time the million is different from the past, and it is a great shock to insiders.

Because it's not like before, it's the million sales of the original reprint of the two versions of the album combined. In 13 years, when EXO broke the record and sold 1 million, in fact, there are many people inside and outside the circle who don't admit it, because SM engaged in this original reprint, and it's okay to say that it sold two albums, but this time it's really a million with one album, and the gold content is indeed better than before.

In addition to the quality of the album's songs, this time, just like the documentary, the promotion effect played by the extremely well-made collection of tidbits was also seen by many people, and seeing that the effect and response were so good, some people naturally wanted to imitate it.

"Do you want to shoot this kind of tidbits for Twice, too? Let's record their journey from the end of "Sixteen" to their official debut, including their private lives and preparing for albums......" In JYP's office, in front of Park Jin-young, who was present at this time, and several company representatives and office managers, one of whom tried to make a suggestion.

As a person in the entertainment industry, he is still the middle level of the three major brokerage companies JYP, and he can clearly feel how strong the popularity of EXO is more clearly than those fans and passers-by who only know how lively it is outside the circle.

You can sell millions of products alone, but we may not be able to simulate the high music quality of EXO II, and there are few companies in the entire song industry that can have such luxury, but isn't it easy to shoot tidbits?

Isn't it just a tidbit, it's like no one has ever filmed, as long as it's a debut idol group, I've definitely filmed it, and I've filmed a lot of it myself.

It's just that SM didn't shoot it so well and so interestingly. I didn't shoot well before, but this time the finished products are out, can't I copy it?

Park Jin-young, who is very hot for XO, soon thought of the new girl group TWICE, which is under his own company, which is in full swing preparing for its debut and placing hopes on the whole company.

"I thought I could give it a try."

"Agree, through this time, it is obvious that many viewers and fans are now more and more interested in what idols look like in private, and there are some aspects of album production, how to say, story?" This suggestion was immediately echoed by many people.

"I don't think it's that simple......" Park Jinying was also very excited at first, but he glanced at the market analysis report he just got, and frowned after thinking about it: "This collection of tidbits launched by SM for EXO this time is more of a documentary than a tidbit, although resources may not need to be invested too much, but it can be seen that it is very attentive and treated according to the specifications of the official plan." And this time, it's obvious that SM is out of the way, and even the image of the company's senior management holding a production meeting can be released, even if the face is masked, but this is absolutely impossible before, at least our company is not expected to do this now......"

"That is, there were so many things last year, SM put most of the weight on EXO in order to save the stock price, so they will be so serious, don't look at this success, they will definitely not do such a careful plan next year."

"And, it's not so much that these viewers like to watch this tidbit, I think it......" Park Jin-young didn't know what he remembered, smiled a little helplessly, shook his head and continued: "I think it's better to say that the audience likes to watch exo." ”

"The most important thing about causing such a big reversal is that they have achieved unprecedented success in their music career this year, so they can attract the attention of many passers-by in addition to fans, which is the key to the success of SM's tidbit project.

“

"TWICE hasn't debuted yet, although there was some popularity because of "Sixteen" before, but it's completely different from EXO, and I can't find anything like it in it...... Members like Yuan who bring their own traffic and public preference. "Maybe it's because I missed Ji Jingyuan at the beginning, every time I mention EXO and Ji Jingyuan, Park Zhenying can't help but have some greed and regret in my heart, as well as some unrealistic fantasies.

He occasionally thought that if Chi Jingyuan had come to JYP and asked him to join GOT7, would the current summit group not be EXO, but GOT7?

Then JYP can also take advantage of the popular men's group to improve the dangerous situation at once, and there is no need to pin all its hopes on a girl group that has not yet debuted.

Alas, the more I think about it, the more angry I get. Coming back to his senses from his YY, Park Jinying found that many people in the office were knocked quiet by his words, and couldn't help laughing: "But it doesn't mean that you won't shoot, you still have to shoot, but don't think about benchmarking EXO...... A dedicated VJ will record some of their lives and the experience of preparing the album, and will release them after their debut...... You should be careful when you come up with a plan for the specific process and plan.

“

"Okay." …… Originally, because in the summer, the major groups returned one after another to make the extremely interesting song world, and they were made lively by exo, and I don't know how many companies will shoot a careful and exquisite work tidbit for their groups when they return after this time.

At the same time, on the night when EXO reached a million sales, MBC aired the second episode of "Infinite Challenge Song Festival".

After the announcement of the guest lineup in the last episode, it has aroused the audience's infinite expectations for the final grouping, resulting in the fact that this episode has just started broadcasting, and the ratings have exceeded the highest ratings of the first episode, and at the same time, it is still rising with the broadcast of the show.

At the end of the second phase, Zheng Hengdon, IU, and Ji Jingyuan were decided; haha and; Yoo Jae-seok and Park Jin-young; Jung Jun-ha and Yoon Sang; Huang Guangxi and Hyukoh are the five groups.

The results of this grouping also caused a wide range of discussions among the audience, except for the group of Yoo Jae-seok and Park Jin-young, which was said by many to be very interesting, it belonged to Jung Hyung-don, Ji Kyung-won and IU, which were the most discussed, and many viewers expressed their infinite expectations for the final work of this group in the song festival.

"As a fan of IU, I've always wanted to see her and Yuan work together, but I didn't expect to achieve my wish in the song festival."

"The most powerful male idol, and the cooperation with the most successful female solo, is really exciting, as for Jung Hyung-don, it's good that he doesn't interfere with these two......"

"The most powerful male idol has no opinion, the most successful female solo? Can the fans of the letter get a little face, forget what it was like to be scolded in the first two years...... "The ballad festival has only been broadcast for two episodes, and the ratings are already about to surpass the 'Tutu Song' special at the peak of the ratings at the beginning of the year, and the popularity and various discussions are also increasing day by day.

I have to say that it is really wise for the program team to invite people with their own topics, such as IU and Chi Jingyuan, to be guests.

Time flies by in the midst of the excitement, and on the morning of the 14th, EXO, who is still the object of heated discussion in the outside world, is gathering together to take Japanese classes with a sad face.

"How do you pronounce it? Baekhyun, you say. The Japanese teacher specially hired by the company is a slightly chubby middle-aged woman in her forties, her eyes are not big and slightly slender but she is very smart, and she is more strict in lecturing at the company's requirements.

The small classroom used to give lectures is not large, it is a small office vacated on the fifth floor of the company, and the exo nine people sit in it full.

"Uh, su? fu？ Bian Boxian opened his mouth, tentatively read two notes but was completely inaccurate, and glanced lightly at Chi Jingyuan on the side as he spoke, intending to get an answer from him.

It's a pity that Chi Jingyuan, who came to class today, was stared at by the teacher very closely, and he didn't have a chance to help at all, just lowered his head and looked at the books on the table, with a soft smile in his mouth.

With Chi Jingyuan's Japanese skills, I don't need to come to class with others.,I haven't been here a few times since I started learning Japanese a month ago.,But if you happen to be fine.,Sometimes I'll come to have a fun and review by the way.,

"Sit down!" The teacher looked a little helpless, and after letting Bian Boxian sit down in an accentuated tone, he instructed in a somewhat stern tone: "I know that you are very busy as idols, but this is the task assigned by the company, and when the Japanese level does not meet the requirements, it is you who will be taught a lesson, so be careful." ”

"Mia, thata." Bian Boxian hurriedly apologized, and the other members who had been snickering also nodded immediately.

"Today we are talking about the voiced and long sounds of Japanese, and now we are turning to the book...... "In the case of such a big fire, SM can also take time to let all members take classes to learn Japanese together, SM is really ambitious and serious about opening up new markets."

At the end of the two-hour class, after saying goodbye to the teacher, the nine exo members generally let out a long breath and walked in the direction of the practice room.

"Why is Japanese so hard to learn?" Bian Boxian roared in the corridor, looking at him like that, he felt that he was about to hit his head against the wall in a while.

"Jingyuan, you are so good at Japanese, how did you learn it before?" Jin Junmian looked at him with the others, wanting to learn from him.

Chi Jingyuan was asked, he recalled, and blinked very naturally: "I haven't learned much, I think it's quite simple." ”

"Forget it, when I didn't ask." Jin Junmian was bored with himself, and he wanted to slap himself. He pretended to be there again.

At this time, Kim Min-seok looked at him, and as soon as the conversation changed, he got down to business: "By the way, Jing Yuan, has our debut album in Neon been decided in the second half of the year?" "The market potential of the peninsula is so big, this year, the local market of the peninsula, especially the purse of the fans has been almost harvested by SM, as the top of the boy group, EXO to open up overseas markets, the second half of the year in the neon debut is a foregone conclusion, the venue of the debut concert Tokyo Dome has been rented in advance, of course, all the members are also clear, and now take the time to learn Japanese for this.

"How so...... I'm not entirely sure. Hearing this question, Chi Jingyuan hesitated for a moment and replied simply.

As far as he knows, in fact, SM has a big difference in the next development focus of EXO, in addition to continuing to maintain the market and position on the peninsula side of the idea is relatively consistent, the next main market to explore this kind of big plan, including Li Xiuman, several high-level people with the right to speak are not too unanimous.

Some people want to follow the old path of TVXQ according to the original plan, put all their energy on the neon market, and pay more attention to the neon debut of EXO this time, and invest more resources.

There are also those who saw the unexpected popularity of "boywithluv" in Ami this time, and wanted to directly adjust the direction and let the group try to break into the United States.

There are still many people who still want to continue to implement the status of the Chinese and Korean boy group that EXO has been upholding since its debut, although the M team has almost disbanded, but according to the amazing sales of this regular second album, as well as the business communication in the mainland, the market and audience of EXO over there are still very large, and it is a pity to give up like this.

Several waves of people's opinions have not been unified so far, which has affected the original neon debut strategy a lot, at least Chi Jingyuan feels that this time exo's neon debut special, the company's preparation does not seem to be so attentive.

It's far less than the regular second series this time.

"Are there any new songs for Neon's debut special?" Kim Jong-ta on the side was more curious about this.

"As it stands, as far as I know, no." Ji Jingyuan shook his head: "I didn't participate in the neon album too much, but I said before that this debut album will pick a few songs from the songs we released this year, reset them, and rewrite the lyrics into Japanese, and nothing else." ”

"That's right...... Which will be the title song? ”

"Do you still need to ask? "boywithluv". ”

"Oh ......" Hearing the news, the members behaved differently, some were happy, and some were slightly disappointed.

"By the way, it should be early to get off work today, and after getting off work in the evening, do you want to go out to eat together?" Thinking of today's schedule, the hospitality master Jin Junmian's eyes lit up and he took the initiative to make a suggestion.

"Whatever."

"Where to eat?"

"No, I told the female ticket to meet ...... in the evening" After soliciting a round of opinions, Jin Junmian looked at Chi Jingyuan again: "What about you, Jingyuan?" ”

"Ah, brother, I don't think I can go today." Chi Jingyuan spread his hands: "I made an appointment with a friend yesterday to ...... it...... After getting off work early at seven o'clock in the evening, Chi Jingyuan took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Zheng Endi while walking to the dormitory in the nanny car to change clothes: "I'm off work, where are you?" ”
