…………

The itinerary of the more popular idol groups in the Peninsula music industry is basically the same in the last few days of the year, that is, to attend the New Year's Eve parties held by several major TV stations.

And being able to appear in these New Year's Eve song wars, how many times it can appear, and how long the stage is, are also a positive manifestation of the group's achievements and popularity throughout this year, except for those senior groups that have debuted for many years and are no longer on the show, all other groups, especially newcomer groups, are still proud to be able to appear on the stage at the end of the year.

After finishing the recording of the SBS Song War, EXO began to record the stage of the MBC Song Festival to be held on the night of the 31st in advance the next morning - just like last year, they will still go to the summer domestic show for New Year's Eve on the last day of the year, due to the company's trade-off. ，

In SM's operation concept for EXO, local EXO has no rivals, and it is a broken existence in the boy group, so it is more important to expand overseas markets in comparison.

I couldn't attend the MBC party, but EXO occupied a pivotal position in this year's Kpop, even if I didn't show up at the MBC party, the organizers were still very eager to give the stage time, and even if it was the recorded stage, the time period of their performance was very low and close to the finale, which can be said to be very face-saving and very important, a bit similar to the level of yesterday's song battle PSY.

Even EXO didn't go to the MBC Dream Center in Gyeonggi Province to pre-record the party, but directly found a place to record at SM COEX in Seoul.

In addition to this year's hit song "Boy with Luv", which is bound to be performed on any stage at the end of the year, Ji Jingyuan also has a special stage to perform the popular song "House Tower" in the second half of this year

The song "House Tower" was enthusiastically loved by the audience and passers-by after it appeared in the Song Festival and released the sound source, and it was the most popular song among the special songs released by Wujiao.

The popularity of this song is very high, because the melody is catchy, especially the lyrics are very well written, sweet and moving, resulting in a very popular among young people, in recent months, many campus bands are keen to cover the stage of the song, young girls also like it, and this familiar melody can basically be heard wherever there are young bands performing, and it has entered the top 20 on the Melon annual list in less than three months after its release, and the momentum of the hit song is fully revealed.

It's a pity that there are very few live performances of this song, and after it was released, there was only the stage of the last performance of the Song Festival, and Ji Jingyuan has not performed in public since then, which makes many people feel a little regretful.

As the TV station where "Infinite Challenge" broadcasts, it is logical that MBC wants such a popular song to appear on the stage at the end of the year, and I heard that in addition to Ji Kyung-won, Park Jin-young also has a special stage for "So Sexy".

However, the three people in the original version of the show couldn't get together, IU Lee Ji-eun didn't come to MBC's New Year's Eve party, and Jung Hyung-don stopped all his work because of anxiety

But there is no problem with Chi Jingyuan as the core, as long as Chi Jingyuan is in MBC, it doesn't matter if the other two people come or not. So after discussing with Ji Kyung-won before SM, he chose Park Chanyeol and Kang Seok-ki to follow him to the special stage where he performed "House Tower House".

Originally, SM actually wanted to let a member of the new boy group NCT U, which is expected to be launched this year, but Ji Jingyuan politely refused to replace it with Park Chanyeol, and Jiang Shiqi was proposed by Ji Jingyuan himself, and he was quite happy to give a little exposure to his relatives in the same year.

Knowing the news a few days ago, Jiang Shiqi looked quite surprised when the three of them practiced together, I don't know why Chi Jingyuan felt a feeling of flattery from her expression, and when he was resting, he also felt that Shiqi would occasionally look at him with some strange eyes.

Ji Jingyuan didn't ask directly, but tried to interpret her eyes, analyzed it, and it seemed to be, 'Why don't you let Zhu Hyun Oni come?' 'Something like that.

She was a little speechless about this.

I'm going to tell you a little bit out of place, isn't it?

I won't take you next time......

After recording the stage of the MBC Song Festival, Ji Kyung-won returned to the crew to shoot a scene for a day, and then returned to the group the next day, and performed on the stage of the MBC Entertainment Awards with EXO Group in the next few days, and then the KBS Song Festival on the 30th.

It is worth mentioning that this year's KBS song festival is the most grand one of the three TV stations at the end of the year, the organizers changed the small family spirit of previous years, and very proudly chose the Seoul Gaoche Sky Dome, which was only completed and put into use this year, as the venue, and adopted the form of full live broadcast, and held the hottest year-end party this year under the witness of more than 20,000 viewers, which directly covered SBS, which was very beautiful in previous years.

The most interesting thing is that among the more than 20,000 spectators at the scene, I don't know how to let Alie all get in, and when giving the aerial perspective, you can clearly see that nearly half of the people in the audience are holding silver Alice sticks and waving constantly, especially the closer to the main stage, the more Alie is, so that some boy groups will inevitably be a little embarrassed when performing, and when EXO takes the stage, because the cheers are too loud, they directly completely overshadow the singing and sound, resulting in the organizer also urgently canceling the live broadcast during the live broadcast, It sounds a little weird to have the sound of the stage on TV.

After the KBS Song Festival on the 30th, before dawn the next day, the EXO group took a flight to Beiping, the capital of the Xia Kingdom, and after a short rest, they went to Zhuang'er TV to prepare for the official performance of the "Set Sail 2016" New Year's Eve party held tonight.

Speaking of which, EXO has been in Xia Guo's year for two consecutive years, last year was Shonan Satellite TV's party, and this year it went further, directly to the national TV, Chi Jingyuan and their Peninsula boy group can appear on this kind of formal stage, after all the members of Xia Guo left, it can be regarded as an upper limit of a Kpop group in the mainland market.

At the same time, it is also a recognition and praise for the positioning of the EXO Sino-Korean combination and the brilliant results of this year.

It's glorious, but in fact, it's really abrasive to participate in this kind of party, when the TV station is preparing for the stage, and when waiting backstage, the people who pass by from time to time, and the people who stand next to them and chat casually are not ordinary people, not upper-level personnel, or the older generation of artists and singers, etc., all of them are senior bosses.

Coupled with the tense atmosphere and the pressure coming from all around, everyone in the entire group, including Chi Jingyuan, was a little trembling, and they didn't have a good day.

This stage EXO performance is "boy with luv", this song is not only popular in the Peninsula and Europe and the United States, but also in the mainland, the catchy melody is crazy by many fans and Amway, even passers-by who don't know EXO should have heard it in the streets and alleys and shopping malls, and together with several songs released by bigbang, it has become the most widely circulated Kpop song in the mainland this year.

Several popular songs appeared and broke out together in Xia Guodu, which also confirmed that this year is indeed the peak year of Kpop.

There is only one song on stage, and SM originally considered performing "call me baby", but after Ji Jingyuan knew about it, he directly raised a different opinion and rejected it.

Do these people know the situation in the mainland, this kind of important New Year's Eve occasion of Zhuang'er TV, some choreography of "Call Me Baby" cannot be broadcast at all......

In the evening, when Ji Jingyuan followed the members on the stage in a dark red, extremely formal suit without any bells and whistles, the pressure was even more intense than before.

Unlike the young people who waved the cheering stick on the peninsula during the New Year's Eve, Xia Guo's side is full of elderly mature people, everyone seems to have a certain status, and the atmosphere is very different, and his movements are a little stiff under their gaze.

Fortunately, the dance of this song has been practiced countless times to form muscle memory, there were no mistakes throughout the performance, and the audience below was also very face-saving, and the applause in the middle and at the end of the stage was very warm, whether it was the loudness of the applause or the duration of the time, I couldn't find any problems, just right.

It's just a stage for a song, and when he walked backstage after the performance, Ji Jingyuan felt that his underwear was a little sweaty......

…………

On the other side, twice, who had finished his trip and left work early, was gathering on the sofa in the living room, chatting casually while watching MBC's party.

Although they may not be able to appear on the stage of the other two year-end parties except for the SBS song war, they still used a little spare time to get together for New Year's Eve and celebrate the last day of the year in their own way.

"Why did you keep giving shots to a few girls in the audience during the first half of the broadcast just now, and gave it several times...... Although it looks pretty pretty though. At this time, the first half of the live broadcast had ended, and the advertisement was being broadcast, Sun Caiying remembered a few shots just now and asked curiously.

"I guess it's a trainee of which company, give some exposure before debut."

"I know, there is a person in it that I know, who is a trainee of Starship, and they are already planning to make their debut, what do they seem to be called...... Cosmic Girl ......"

The "Started ......" commercial has been broadcast and entered the live broadcast, and Park Ji-hyo gave a slight hint of it, which also focused the attention of several people on TV.

At this time, the second half of the MBC Song Festival has just begun, and the opening VCR is being played, this VCR is a review of several major events and milestones of this year's Kpop by the MBC organizers, and a few key words are summarized for the audience to show and introduce.

"2015 Ballad Festival, Ballad Encyclopedia! What happened in the music industry in 2015? Let's take a look at a few important keywords......"

"1. The strength of the new combination - in 2015, the powerful newcomers made a domineering debut, and the super rapid growth made people look forward to the active performance of the super newcomers in the future."

"2. Retrograde on the music source list - after last year's EXID, the rookie girl group Gfirend once again became the retrograde protagonist of the music list with its Knock Dang Dang video......"

"3. The Return of the Legend - The return of the legendary singers of the 90s made everyone take a trip of memories together......"

"38% and 1 million - the trend boy group EXO released four single albums "E", "X", "O", "L" in 2015, the official album "EXO-L" and the special album "sing for you", igniting the buying enthusiasm of Kpop fans around the world, and the total number of physical albums sold throughout the year reached a staggering 3.7 million copies, which significantly increased the overall sales market and accounted for 38% of the annual physical sales of the peninsula. has created a jaw-dropping sales myth, among which the official second album "EXO-L" has exceeded one million ......"

"So powerful?"

The first few keywords didn't cause any discussion, but when it came to the last EXO, seeing the several data listed in the VCR, many people in front of the TV sighed in surprise and disbelief, Park Zhixiao, Lin Nalian and several people stared at the few numbers that flashed on the screen.

As an idol who also released a physical album, TWICE understands better what these numbers mean.

Usually, it's not much to say that EXO is popular, sales, how much the album sells better, and I don't have much to listen to, but when I really put the exact data in front of me, I know what kind of achievements they have made in 2015.

"That's too much, 38% of the market, what kind of concept is really unimaginable......"

After the VCR ended, Yu Dingyan watched the TV that had entered the stage performance, but he was still immersed in the VCR just now, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, which immediately caused heated discussions among others.

"How did you do it, I feel like it's not in the same world as other groups at all, and how many ...... have been sold in the second best?"

"I heard that their fans are crazy, and they all buy dozens of copies."

"Fans of boy groups are like this, and other boy groups haven't seen such a high, look at GOT7 ......"

"XO also has a lot of overseas fans, especially Xia Guo, they are very popular over there."

"When will we be able to ......"

"Stop dreaming!" didn't wait for Hirai Tao to finish speaking, the sisters sitting in front of her turned around and interrupted her with tacit understanding, and the eyes that looked at her were a little strange.

How much did we sell in our debut, do you really dare to say......

Their own data, if you look at it together with XO, really feel like a failure in comparison, and feel like an amateur.

Looking at it, Ji Jingyuan, Park Chanyeol, and Jiang Shiqi's figures appeared on TV, and the stage of "House Tower" began.

"You said you wanted to look at the stars, take me along."

"The moon shone in my eyes at once, but there was not a single star in the sky."

Hearing this rather familiar music, many people seem to remember the scene of the day they went to see the concert before their debut, and the memories of the past came to mind, and the chatting gradually stopped, looking at the stage performance on TV with different expressions.

It seems that Zhou Ziyu, who was originally playing with Xilu while watching, also stopped his movements at this time, hugged the stupid dog doll, and looked at the figure on the TV in front of him very seriously.

Today's stage Chi Jingyuan is not wearing a suit and school uniform like the Song Festival, but a buttoned denim jacket, a combination of white lining and ripped jeans, which is a bit casual and casual, it doesn't look like it's New Year's Eve, but it looks like a simple singing for people.

Looking at her, I was a little distracted.

"This song is so popular, many people in our school have organized bands to cover this song." After the stage ended, Kim Dahyun stopped his body that was shaking just now and said something casually.

"EXO didn't go to the scene, did he? The backgrounds are all different, and they look like they were pre-recorded. A question was raised.

"Ah......h

Feeling a few inquiring glances around him, Zhou Ziyu blinked and opened his mouth: "I don't know." ”

"Forget it...... It's time to get ready for New Year's Eve, and it's time to start counting down. ”

“5.”

“4.”

“3.”

…………

“2.”

“1.”

With the countdown, the glorious and brilliant year 2015 has officially become history, and the calendar of time has turned a page forward, to January 1, 2016.

On the other side, in the backstage of Zhuang'er TV, in the lounge of EXO, the nine people who ended the stage listened to the loud countdown from the front of the field outside, but there was no special reaction, one is that some members who do not understand Chinese do not understand very well, and the second is that the time difference between Beiping and Seoul is different, and the peninsula has been New Year's Eve an hour ago, and it feels a lot weaker.

However, listening to the shouts of the host and the audience in the front court, the cheers rising to the sky outside and the colorful lights illuminating the night sky, Chi Jingyuan still had a lot of special feelings in his heart.

After staying for more than an hour, waiting for the official end of this New Year's Eve party, EXO left the TV station after saying goodbye to the staff.

Today is a special day, although in fact, many members are quite tired after a busy day, but no one wants to go back to the hotel at this time, a few people discussed, and after talking to the agent, they found a Haidilao near the hotel, sat down in the box, and prepared to have a supper and chat.

While talking to the members, Chi Jingyuan kept replying to the various New Year's Eve greeting text messages sent just now with his mobile phone.

There's Kim Taeyeon's sister, Sunny's.

There are also Yuna's predecessors! Happy!

Zheng Endi, and Sun Naen.

Jiang Shiqi, Sun Shengwan, and even Jin Yilin also sent messages.

Pei Xiuzhi directly said that her crew had a holiday these days, and asked him if he was free in the next few days, which meant obviously.

Bae Joo-hyun posted a selfie photo backstage at the ballad festival, wearing a pink cake dress, blonde hair shawl, and a smile like a flower.

Minami Nakai posted a cartoon smiley face.

Zhou Ziyu was nervous and asked if their stage tonight was pre-recorded......

There are so many people, it's really lively enough, Ji Jingyuan's fingers haven't stopped on his phone.

Although it was already past midnight in the early hours of the morning, it was still noisy outside, and the members of EXO seemed to be in good spirits, even if the food had not yet been served, the atmosphere in the whole box was lively.

"Do you want to start a live stream?" Park Chanyeol made a suggestion with a move of his little head at this time, and as soon as he said it, he was scolded back by others.

At such a special time, including Chi Jingyuan, the members just want to relax, chat casually, eat some supper regardless of the appearance, want to lie there with their legs crossed, want to take off their shoes and even pick their feet, want to chat about the female relatives scolding the company, anything, anyway, they just don't want to be open.

It's really tiring to stay open all the time.

"Oh, last year in Shonan, this year is Beiping, and we are here in Xia for New Year's Eve, I don't know if it will be ......here next year."

"Possibly, if nothing else, it should still be here."

"Suddenly it feels like time flies so fast, as if last year's New Year's Eve has only passed for a long time......

As he spoke, some people became a little emotional.

"By the way, you guys ...... next year Any ideas for 2016 of the year? We have such good results this year, and there will definitely be a lot of shares...... How about a person who says a wish? Seeing this atmosphere, Bian Boxian's eyes rolled and he proposed.

"Okay, then you can say it first." Several people were interested when they heard it, Ji Jingyuan also put down his phone, Jin Junmian looked at him and said with a smile.

"I'll find another girl." Bian Boxian thought about it and spoke generously.

"Didn't you fall in love until you were 35...... And what about the one before? Park Chanyeol immediately began to dismantle the stage, and the others also laughed instantly.

It's impossible to forget this meme inside EXO.

"Ah, don't mention that...... It's already divided. Glaring at Park Chanyeol unhappily, Bian Boxian didn't bother to pay attention to him, and looked at the others: "Don't pay attention to this idiot, let's talk about it." ”

"I'm going to get into graduate school, it's going to be difficult."

"Let's change the car, I want to buy a slightly better car."

"I want to buy an apartment, or save up to buy a building......" Wu Shixun thought about it for a while, and said with some expectation.

"Buying a house so soon? The least is billions, right, you have saved so much money? Next to him, Chi Jingyuan glanced at him in surprise.

Wu Shixun seemed to have a plan, and counted on his fingers: "It's not enough now, it's a little worse, but after this year's share is obtained, if there is an overseas tour next year, it should be about the same......"

"......" Chi Jingyuan raised his eyes and nodded: "Almost." ”

EXO's income was very low in the first two years of his debut, and a member could only share a few million a year, and Luhan left the team because of this.

However, with the start of the first and second patrols in the past two years, with the large proportion of the offshore itinerary divided, each member of EXO has earned a lot more money than before, and it is not so difficult to buy a building if you save up.

"Jingyuan, what about you?" The others said for a while, and it was Chi Jingyuan's turn.

"My words ......" He hesitated, touched his chin and smacked his lips, and said with a smile: "Also looking for a female relative?" ”

Bian Boxian must have immediately waved his hand and shouted: "Ah, don't imitate me, say your own ......"

"And don't you have a daughter? What to look for? Looking for another one? Park Chanyeol also looked at him strangely, with a playful expression.

Chi Jingyuan was as good as a stream, nodded and thought about it again: "Do you want to change it?" Then ...... solo bar. ”

As soon as he said this, there was a little silence around him, and nearly four years after his debut, many people began to think about their personal development and resources.

"It's been four years, and it's really time for someone to come out with a solo." Jin Junmian paused for two seconds, nodded and broke the silence: "If you want to turn on the solo of the members, Jingyuan is indeed the most suitable one." ”

"Ah, why do I always feel like you're showing off, showing off that you're most likely to solo? We're going to rebel! Bian Boxian was a little angry, and his voice was a little sour: "Don't talk about this kind of hurtful desire...... Another one! ”

"Still changing?"

Chi Jingyuan blinked, saw the eyes of the brothers next to him, raised his eyes and thought about it a little helplessly, and then shrugged his shoulders and smiled beautifully:

"Then let's find a female kiss."
