Chapter 160: Wonderful

"Counting the five minutes before the jam, XO has a total of one hour and 21 minutes of live broadcast today, more than 700,000 people participated in and watched the live broadcast, more than 1 million message interactions, and more than 20 million love likes......"

"Ah qingjia, this data is really terrible, especially the number of participating viewers, today is the first day of the APP's launch, although not everyone has watched the whole process, but according to this data, almost most of the registered users have clicked into the live broadcast room of XO......"

Kim Dong-kyun loudly announced some data of the premiere of EXO this time, a round face under the baseball cap was red, his eyes were shining, and he looked extremely excited.

Obviously, this data far exceeds the number they predicted before, and this is only the first day of the launch, many follow-up live broadcasts of cooperative artists, as well as a series of promotions arranged, have not yet been fully launched, the number of registrations for this APP is actually not Tian Duo, this time it is basically EXO's own popularity that supports this live broadcast, and the positive promotion and publicity brought by the unexpected results and feedback are naturally obvious.

However, because it was launched on the first day and was also the first live broadcast, there was no live broadcast data of other artists that could be used for comparison and reference, so in fact, Ji Jingyuan and they didn't have much feeling about the series of numbers that Kim Dongjian said, and listened to the exchange between him and Lee Seung-hwan, and discussed it by themselves with little interest

"With 700,000 viewers, how did you get the love to 20 million?"

Chi Jingyuan wiped his mouth, and the other members stood next to him, watching a few assistants start to clean up the table just now, and at the same time a little surprised by the number of hearts he heard just now: "Such an average, one person points thirty times, but it is definitely impossible for everyone to be like this, most people are estimated to be too lazy to order after clicking, will there be no fans who really point from the beginning to the tail?" ”

"There must be, it's estimated that there are quite a few of them."

When Jin Junmian heard this, he shrugged his shoulders with some pride in his tone: "Our fans are really amazing. ”

Speaking of which, the members of EXO also have a sense of honor, Ellie's support for idols in all aspects, as well as combat effectiveness and loyalty madness are indisputable, among all idol groups on the peninsula, they all belong to the category of faults, and the last one is so powerful, it should be traced back to TVXQ's fan fairy queen.

"It's really enthusiastic, I see that the messages on the screen refresh so fast that people can't react."

"yes, I can't see clearly if I don't concentrate, I was holding a selfie stick, and I was a little far away and brushed it over at once."

"Speaking of which, this live broadcast is quite interesting, and I plan to open it often in the future."

Several members discussed it babblingly, just after Chi Jingyuan, almost every member was allocated a certain amount of time to host the live broadcast and interact with the message, obviously similar to Chi Jingyuan's idea, and the communication with fans in this mode feels quite good, and everyone looks quite excited.

And Kim Dong-kyun and Lee Seung-hwan chatted excitedly for a while about the data just now, and then reconfirmed tomorrow's live broadcast itinerary before leaving, and a group of EXO's assistants and agents soon left and returned to the company.

It's already past nine o'clock at this time, and EXO's itinerary in the past two days is not very much, so I just left work early today and didn't have to go back to the company.

Not long after the outsiders left the dormitory, XO and a group of people were still sitting on the sofa in the living room and chatting casually about the live broadcast just now, when Chi Jingyuan's mobile phone vibrated continuously.

When you pick it up, at the top of the list are text messages from two people at almost the same time.

"Is it really bad for you to cook? (snickering) "This is sent by Bae Joo-hyun."

"You can cook! (wink) "This is Zhou Ziyu's."

In addition, several friends also texted over at about the same time to make fun of the live broadcast just now, apparently they should have all watched EXO's live broadcast just now.

Chi Jingyuan actually didn't expect that so many people were paying attention, and when he thought of his various expressions and peculiar angles in the live broadcast just now, as well as the process of interacting with the audience's messages, all of them were all seen in his eyes, he suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart.

Especially Bae Zhuhyun and Zhou Ziyu, these two are inexplicable, but they are very tacitly interested in his cooking level.

Are your concerns so similar?

"Maybe it's a little worse than you think."

Ji Jingyuan glanced up at the members who were chatting hotly, and then began to tap the screen quickly, first replying to Bae Joo-hyun with a past. Then I clicked on Zhou Ziyu's interface, and looking at her knowingly asked tone, I couldn't help but say: "No!"

Then he replied to the messages of other friends separately, such as Kim Taeyeon and Jung Eun-di, who seemed to be very interested in the live broadcast of the V APP, and then asked a lot of questions, and Ji Jing simply sat on the sofa and crossed Erlang's legs and chatted with them for a while.

Bae Joo-hyun's reply also came quickly, and Zhou Ziyu, who was scolded for a sentence, was not annoyed at all, but the two of them seemed to have their own things, and after a few casual words, they said goodbye to each other.

After a night of brewing, it was directly on the hot search the next day, especially Naver, which should be to promote the newly launched APP, also sent a lot of press releases for publicity, so that yesterday's V live was launched, and EXO's live broadcast directly became a hot topic of discussion that day.

Especially for the luxurious dormitory shown in the live broadcast, Chi Jingyuan and others interacted with the audience casually and casually, and the extremely lively scene of a group of people cooking and eating completely showed the idol group outside the gorgeous stage and business cameras, another charm of liveliness and nature in private, which attracted the interest of most of the audience.

"I've watched some other idol group variety shows, most of them are basements or very ordinary apartments, and then I look at EXO, it doesn't feel like a world."

"EXO's dormitory is really amazing, the decoration and area are really enviable, and in the end I can't see whether their dormitory is flat or duplex......"

"XO also had poor accommodation conditions when he first debuted, just look through the previous variety shows, and now I can live in such a good house, which is all due to the efforts of the Oba themselves!"

"This kind of live broadcast looks really interesting, I usually watch variety shows and think that Yuan doesn't like to perform and doesn't talk much, but I didn't expect it to be quite lively in the live broadcast, and whether it is the attitude, or the movements and expressions are very natural, there is no sense of performance at all, it really makes people feel good."

"Indeed, I registered as soon as I went online after the V APP was launched yesterday, and since then, many artists have started live broadcasts, and I have watched a lot, but I still think EXO is the most interesting, it is interactive, it is chatting, and it is actually eating together, easy-going, relaxed, and very interesting."

"It's really fun when they eat together, you should follow XO's official account, and I'll keep watching it in the future, it seems like there will be a live broadcast for three days in a row, right......"

Naver and SM cooperated, and it is indeed a very wise means to invite EXO to promote, and now in the eyes of many passers-by and the public, EXO is no longer a simple idol boy group, with its own popularity, it directly made the V APP that appeared in powder instantly entered the public's field of vision, especially in the Kpop fandom, which is basically unknown to everyone in less than two days.

Then on the 2nd and 3rd of the following September, EXO also carried out their 'three-day walk' live broadcast activities in many places such as the practice room, nanny car, and even outdoors, trying to do some small games, singing competitions, practice stages and other active content, Bian Boxian also promised to start live broadcasts often in the future, and also try to play games online with the members

A variety of interesting interactions and content have attracted many fans and viewers to stick to the live broadcast room, because of the relationship between the number of new registrations, the number of viewers and love likes are higher than one day, so that the other idols who wrote about the live broadcast at the same time are envious and coveted, but they have also learned a lot from EXO, and probably know what content and what way the audience is most interested in live broadcast.

This time XO's premiere, in addition to publicity, can be regarded as a model for other idols.

At the same time, on the 3rd, Kim Jun-mian and Byun Baek-hyun also went to the scene of the 42nd Peninsula Broadcasting Awards on behalf of all EXO and received the Popular Singer Award.

Although the gold content is not very high, it is naturally a happy thing to receive the award.

And as we enter September, the previous preliminary work has almost been completed, and EXO has officially started the recording of the neon debut album.

This album is a pure Japanese mini-album, containing a total of six songs, including the title song "Boy with luv", and "love me right" and "Drop that" These three main tracks, of which the first two are the title songs in this year's regular second album, after re-arrangement, mixing, and lyrics, they became the main force of this Japanese album, and "Drop that" Although it was not officially released before, However, I have already performed many times in the concerts of the second tour of EXO, and this time I also included it after rewriting the lyrics.

The other three songs included are pure musical accompaniment versions of these three songs, which means that this time EXO's debut in Neon is composed of three songs + three accompaniments, which can't help but give people a feeling of indiscriminate filling.

However, it's not that SM doesn't give resources, and it's not that the music library has no songs, mainly because the company's senior management has not determined the focus of XO's future development, and they don't want to give up because they have ambitions in several markets, so this neon debut is mainly an attempt and a test of the waters.

Even if it's just to test the waters, SM still chose "boy with luv", which can be called one of the most popular songs of the boy group this year, to serve as the main hit of the Japanese album to guarantee the bottom, because after market research, they found that the song "boy with luv" was unexpectedly popular in neon, and the popularity of foreign language songs over there, even if it is not far from the peninsula, directly makes EXO, who has not yet debuted on the official side, already has a large number of loyal fans.

So even if the album only has such a song, fans will definitely buy it.

It's not difficult to record and remake the MV, and these songs have been sung countless times in so many concerts, but the pronunciation problem of Japanese has caused some members who have studied for so long and are still not good at Japanese very headaches.

In the midst of all the work, in a blink of an eye, it was September 5th, the day of the start of the DMC super festival carefully organized by MBC, as one of today's important performers, the EXO group also came to the scene, Shangyan Cultural Square in Shangyan Cave.

In the background, Ji Jingyuan is sitting on the edge of the sofa, using his mobile phone to surf the Internet to watch the return preview of Red Velvet.

SM announced yesterday that red velvet will release their debut full-length album "The red" on September 9, with two trailers for the title song "dumb dumb".

As a relative, Chi Jingyuan naturally watched it for the first time yesterday, and their stage had been rehearsed before, so it was a little boring at this time, so I simply watched it again, and by the way, I saw how the evaluation and response on the Internet was.

"Red Velvet is coming back!"

At this time, Jin Junmian didn't know when he walked behind him, propped his hand on the back of the sofa, looked at the trailer that was playing on Chi Jingyuan's mobile phone, his eyes lit up and he watched it together for a while, and said out loud after the broadcast ended.

I don't know if it feels wrong, Ji Jingyuan feels that he heard a hint of joy from his tone?

Jin Junmian has always had a good relationship with Red Velvet, and as a senior in the company, he usually takes care of them when he meets them, especially when he performs on the same stage, if he sits below, he will be very enthusiastic when he supports, and it seems that he really likes them as a junior sister combination.

"yes, it's still a regular album, I don't know how the results are."

Chi Jingyuan nodded in response, slightly worried.

Regular albums are very important for every idol group, and the quality of the results will directly become an inflection point in the development of an idol group, affecting the future prospects. As a good relative of several of the members, of course, I really hope that Pei Zhuhyun and their return can have a good result.

In the past few days, when chatting with Bae Joo-hyun, I also felt that they have been in an emotional mood of excitement and joy and nervousness recently, both happy about the return of the group, but also worried about the quality of the results.

As seniors and predecessors, Ji Jingyuan can understand their feelings, and when EXO went through the painful period of his debut, they were actually in a similar mood when they made a desperate bet to release a regular album "XOXO".

"What do you think of the trailer?" The two chatted a few words about Ryder Beibei's junior sister group, and Jin Junmian looked at the preview of the end of the broadcast on the screen and asked.

"Uh, I think it's weird."

Ji Jingyuan hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth: "The concept is very strange, I don't understand it at all, the shape is quite strange, and the melody of the title song basically doesn't come out, so I can't see anything at all." ”

This is his true feeling after watching the two trailers, and he doesn't know what the concept of the producer of Red Velvet is for them, in the trailer, four or five identical Bae Joo-hyun are sitting there mechanically like a robot, and he not only doesn't appreciate the concept, but even feels that it is inexplicably a little scary......

There is also that look, five people wearing five colors of stockings, red dresses with pigtails, to be honest, quite strange

However, when chatting last night, under his doubts, Bae Joo-hyun specially explained to him the concept of the title song "Dumb Dumb", and there was a young lady's explanation of the main painting, and if he looked at this trailer again, he understood a lot, and even felt that it was actually quite charming.

But there is no need to talk to Jin Junmian.

"I don't understand it too much, let's watch it when the album is officially released......" Obviously, Ji Jingyuan is not the only one who can't understand the concept, and the same is true for Kim Junmian.

"XO, it's time for the final ENDING!"

While they were chatting, the venue attendant came over and loudly told them to go to the rehearsal ending, and the two immediately stood up and continued to talk in a low voice as they walked towards the stage with the other members.

The stage of the performers has been rehearsed, and now the rehearsal is the last song, the chorus of "Arirang", and the rehearsal of the distribution of the positions on the stage when all the artists appear on the stage.

At this time, although there are many artists and combinations, the standing position is not casual but very particular, who stands in the first row, who stands in the second row, who stands in the middle and who stands next to it, are all rehearsed by the on-site director according to the popularity and seniority of each group.

"Hiss......"

Standing on the stage again, Ji Jingyuan took a breath and rubbed his arms, it began to rain in Seoul and there was a very obvious cooling at the same time, although the rain stopped today, the temperature did not go up, they were all wearing performance clothes at this time, thin shirts with jeans, standing in this wind is really a little cold.

But when I looked to the right, I saw that the eight sisters of Girls' Generation were all wearing the white chiffon skirts of "Lion Heart", and the exposed shoulders, thighs, and arms were whiter than the other, and each was sexier than the other, and suddenly I felt that I was not so cold.

Among them, Kim Tae-yeon's sister seems to be relatively weak, and she has a plaid shirt on the outside of her skirt to keep warm, and she is standing there without speaking, staring at the ground and pretending to be cold.

Looking left and right, today's opening performance as DMC is still more important, in addition to them, there are many popular groups, Girls' Generation, AOA, sistar, CNBLUE, 2PM and the like, all of which are well-known senior artists.

However, Red Velvet didn't come today, probably because as a newcomer, the coffee seat is a bit insufficient.

"XO, come here." PD, wearing sunglasses, pointed to the far left of the stage and shouted loudly, signaling EXO to stand here.

"Girls' Generation, here."

"AOA, over here."

At this time, the director of the scene was preparing to adjust his position, and after Ji Jingyuan arrived at the designated position, he stood behind several members, and at the same time observed the other people on the stage at will, and caught a glimpse of Huang Meiying, who was young on the right, seemed to glance to the left at random, and after a slight pause, she quickly turned back, her hair was dashing, and she didn't look at that side at all.

Chi Jingyuan curiously followed her gaze just now, and found that she was actually looking at Nikun at 2PM, and Nikun seemed to have just glanced over there.

Wow, the reunion of the former boyfriend and girlfriend on stage, such a coincidence.

It's just that it's a little farther away.

But there is a station close.

He also noticed that when he was young, there happened to be CNBLUE next to him, and Xu Xian happened to be Zheng Ronghe next to him.

Although the two have not confirmed their relationship, because they have been on "We Are Married" together and are a very popular couple, whether it is among fans or in the circle, there are actually a lot of rumors, and many insiders think that these two people must have dating.

Although Chi Jingyuan has heard a lot of rumors, he doesn't know if it's true or not.

It's just that although Xu Xian and Zheng Ronghe are standing so close, they are all looking ahead without squinting and looking to avoid suspicion, and they don't seem to notice the appearance of the person next to them at all, Chi Jingyuan feels that it should be unlikely.

Still, it's really exciting.

If there were a few more people, it would be even more exciting.
