"Well, it's a new song, I think the popularity should be better......"

"Okay, I'll send it to you after I've recorded the demo."

After hanging up, Chi Jingyuan made another phone call with the person at the company to talk about it, and then he hung up the phone and stretched.

The communication went very smoothly, although the program team and SM were a little curious about the sudden changes, but they didn't do anything in the way, and they almost agreed very happily, and the Yinyin program team just said that they wanted to listen to the demo, and SM didn't even listen to it and said there was no problem.

In this way, the farewell to the stage was confirmed, which was also a matter in Chi Jingyuan's heart, he took a sip of water, and looked down at the score of the song again.

This song "Dream" is a sudden idea in his heart after watching two couples in a row yesterday, and the performance takes the form of the same as the pair of resident singers he saw yesterday.

Although it was done very quickly and did not take much time, the arrangement was not actually elaborate, relatively simple, and it could be played with the guitar alone. But in terms of quality, in his opinion, it is definitely a male and female duet song above the level.

And a few of the lyrics are actually written by him based on his own realistic situation and thoughts.

Like ......

"It's so beautiful, it's the same today as ...... yesterday"

Looking at some words in the score, Chi Jingyuan didn't know what to think of, pouted, and then waved some other emotions, and after looking at the time, he picked up the score and went to the recording studio, ready to record a demo simply.

………

"Joo-hyun, the company has notified you, your farewell stage for "Music Bank" has been replaced, this is the score of the song, the part has been divided, you hurry up and practice......"

In the evening, the agent walked into Red Velet's practice room, called out Bae Joo-hyun, who had just finished practicing with the members, and handed her a stack of bound documents.

"Replaced? Didn't you just announce that it was "45.7CM" in the morning? ”

Bae Joo-hyun stretched out his hand to take it, not in a hurry, but with a puzzled expression and a strange look in his eyes.

Early this morning, after the program team and the company communicated well, the agent informed her that the farewell stage was confirmed, it was the song "45.7CM", and the time for joint practice was also coordinated.

And because the song "45.7CM" is not very popular, Bae Joo-hyun has not heard it before, and he specially went to the sound source and listened to it several times......

However, she doesn't like this song very much.

The melody is actually not bad, and the duet between men and women is quite tasteful, but the men and women in the song have a good impression of each other, but they abide by their duties, and the lyrics are clear and do not cross the line in the end, no matter how good the melody is, but it sounds, I don't know why it always makes her feel a faint depression in her heart.

She didn't like it.

However, this should be the most suitable for a pair of screen CPs who are not real, exist in the dreams of fans and themselves, and are about to get off the car.

Seeing this song, I have always been a little dissatisfied with this MC cooperation before, but the crazy fans who endured it because the opposition had no effect should also be very happy.

She was a little self-deprecating in her heart, but she would not raise objections, and she took time to practice singing a few times during the day, and she was already able to sing at the end of the day.

Unexpectedly, in the evening, the agent suddenly notified the change of stage songs.

"Well, I was suddenly notified by the company, and I have already communicated with the program team." The agent nodded and explained, and then he didn't know what he remembered, so he specifically mentioned: "I heard from the people in the company that it was Chi Jingyuan's suggestion to change the stage song......

"He mentioned it?"

Bae Joo-hyun blinked his eyes with some surprise, and then immediately stopped asking anything, but quickly lowered his head and took advantage of the time to look at the music sheet in his hand.

《dream》

The title of the song is kind of interesting.

It's just that after watching it for a while, she found that this is another song she has never heard at all, and it is different from "45.7CM" that she has never heard of, but she has heard of it, from the song title, to the melody, to the lyrics, she has no impression in her mind at all.

Just as she looked down, the agent next to her followed: "This seems to be a new song, specially prepared for this stage...... I don't understand it very well, but I just chatted casually with Director Li, saying that the quality of this song is very good, and he thinks it is a bit wasteful to use it as a special stage talk...... I just don't know if there will be a sound source in the back......"

After hearing the agent's words, Bae Joo-hyun's heart moved, and his hands tightened at the same time, and his mind about watching the song suddenly changed somewhat.

Her gaze wandered from the lyrics, and finally stopped at one of the sentences, her eyelashes fluttering:

"I had a pleasant dream."

…………

After completing the selection of songs for the farewell stage and making up some arrangements for "Monster", Ji Jingyuan returned to the crew and started filming again.

Pei Zhuhyun's side should have known the news of the stage change and got a new score, but the two have not been in contact in the past two days, Ji Jingyuan did not take the initiative to speak, and Bae Zhuhyun was uncharacteristically silent.

Ji Jingyuan saw that it was a little abnormal, but he didn't dig deeper, the itinerary that Pei Zhuhyun attached great importance to was about to get off, and it was normal for her to have complicated emotions, and even Ji Jingyuan himself actually had a lot of waves in his heart because of this.

It's good to be a little quieter.

At the same time, because of the invitation from JYP, Ji Kyung-won also sorted out some thoughts about the song "cheer up" that he had sorted out these days before returning to the crew, made a production plan, sent it to Park Jin-young by email, and then got a notice to go to a production meeting in a few days.

It is said that work on TWICE's new album is about to begin.

In the past few days when he returned to the crew to film, the disturbances on the Internet have not quieted down, but have become more lively, and after entering 2016, there have been several eye-catching news, almost a week has passed, and almost all the various lists of Kpop artists last year have been released, and some media and fans have summarized the rankings of these lists and posted them on the Internet, which immediately attracted the attention of fans and passers-by in many circles.

For example, last year's Melon annual list, which attracted the most attention, was also newly released, and the final ranking position was finally announced.

The style of "boy with luv", one of the title songs of EXO's regular album last year, was very popular with local listeners on the peninsula, and it was fed back by the results overseas, especially Aramco's side, and the inside of the wall was already fragrant and blooming outside the wall, so the results can be called a big hit, and since its release, it has occupied the top spot on the daily charts and won the monthly crown for two months, and at the same time, it has also been ranked among the top few on the annual charts a month later.

At the time, some people didn't like the song very much, but it didn't give a lot of reviews on the Internet, but as word of mouth spread, the song's stamina was unexpectedly strong, and it could be heard almost at any nightclub or school party, and the unique effect of stirring up the atmosphere was sought after by many young people.

At the same time, the ranking of "Bangbangbang" also rose all the way on the annual list, and finally rushed to the top two together with "Boy with Luv", and opened an obvious data gap with the occasional reading of the later songs, and in the last two months, it was a fight for the first position on the annual list, and the fans on both sides regained their strength during this time, frantically brushing each other to listen to and brush the data, and they all put a lot of effort into making their own title song to get the first place on the annual list.

Two songs that have been released for nearly half a year have unexpectedly become the focus of attention at the end of the year, and they are unique in recent years.

At the end of 15 years, with the wide national popularity and fans of "boy with luv" as strong as ever, it finally beat "bangbangbang" to get the first place in the melon annual list in 2015, and at the same time, this is the first place in the melon annual list again after six years for the group under SM company, the last time it was back in 09 Girls' Generation "GEE", for a boy group that has always had a poor sound source, EXO and this song can be regarded as making the history of mileage version.

However, Chi Jingyuan is a little surprised, because the first 14 years before last was still him, Yuan and Suzy's "some". This first does not have much substantial benefit except for proving that this song is more popular and many people like to listen to it.

The two championship-winning songs "boy with luv" and "bangbangbang" were followed by NAUL and several other essential singers, followed by "Loser" in sixth, "Spring Day" in seventh, "baebae" in eighth, "House Tower House" in tenth, "Call Me Baby" in eighteenth and "Orientation Sniper" in twenty-fifth.

The songs released by the two groups EXO and bigbang on their respective albums are all on the list, and the two groups occupy eighteen positions in the TOP100, plus some related collaborative songs, and there are even more, basically their names will appear every few songs, especially the more you look forward, the more frequent it is, and when it comes to the most important top ten positions, the two groups directly occupy five places, which is jaw-dropping.

EXO，bigbang，XXXX，XXX，bigbang，EXO……

You can see a series of the same name at a glance on the list, and such a strong performance immediately caused a lot of shock, and the girl group with strong music sources in the past was directly squeezed down here, and there was no one in the top ten.

"That's too strong, isn't it?"

"Didn't you say that the sound source of the boy group is not good? What's going on? ”

The performance of the two groups dominating the list instantly made people sigh, could it be that the prosperity of the men's group is coming?

But after careful research, people found that it was not that the girl group performed badly, the music source of the girl group was still very powerful, and several songs of sistar, AOA, and EXID surpassed other boy groups by much.

At the same time, it is not a men's group event that is coming, because most of the other men's group music sources are still a mess, and Shinee's hit song "VIEW" is shot at the end of the list.

It's just that the two groups EXO and bigbang were too strong in the last year, and in this year of Kpop flowers, they have shown a level and results that far surpass others.

The bigbang sound source has always been excellent, and the explosion of EXO throughout the year has really refreshed people's perception of them.

In addition, there are some questionnaire lists, such as several surveys by Gallup, which is more credible, among the top 10 most popular idols, Park Chanyeol ranked seventh and was the second person to enter the list, while Ji Kyung-won ranked second and defeated the exaggerated IU Lee Ji-eun with a good national popularity by one percent, and GD Kwon Ji-ryong ranked third.

In the top 10 of this list, only two boy bands, EXO and bigbang, were selected.

In addition, this is still the case in the most popular songs, the most popular singers (groups) and other rankings, and even these two boy groups are at a comprehensive disadvantage in some idol groups, and the ranking list of essential singers can still be inserted.

I felt like they were everywhere.

It can only be said that in 2015, the year when Kpop reached its peak, EXO and bigbang both achieved extremely brilliant results, although XO had the advantage in head-on collisions and some competitions, but these two groups opened a gap with the third place, so that other boy and girl groups with good results and good songs became a foil.

It may be that the existence of other groups has made 15 years of Kpop more exciting, but the protagonists are obviously not them.

After the years, those new generation groups have replaced the current groups, and they are still enthusiastically pursued by fans, becoming the new darlings on the camera and on the stage, looking back on 2015 many years ago, several names that were once in full swing can still be instantly sounded.

Or a name.

…………………………

Until the 8th, the scenes of the past few days came to an end, and Ji Jingyuanlu followed the team to Incheon International Airport, preparing to fly to Singapore for a two-day, two-in-a-row second tour.

EXO's second tour started in March last year, and it has been almost a year since New Year's Eve, and several major countries in East Asia have almost run it all over.

However, the second tour, which made SM and EXO members very profitable, is almost over, and there are still a few countries left in Southeast Asia, and then in February, the Aramco and Canadian tours will begin.

Originally, in the first second tour plan, EXO only had three tours in Aramco, and the venues were not too large, two with a capacity of 15,000, and a venue in Chicago even had only 5,000 seats.

However, with the release of the album in the middle of the year, after the popularity of the title song "BWL", Ji Jingyuan's popularity and the number of fans here are increasing at a rate visible to the naked eye, and the company immediately changed its original plan when it saw this situation, and directly added three more to the original three, and the three venues were all 15,000 at a minimum.

Tickets sold out very well, and they sold out very quickly after they went on sale, and there was even a bit of a shortage of supply.

For the entire Kpop now, it is really rare for an artist to be able to hold a tour in Aramco, or to hold several consecutive 10,000-person shows in many places, and the tickets can be sold out, and now it is EXO.

Sitting in the quiet waiting room is a little boring, Chi Jingyuan opened the V APP after watching the news for a while, and found that there was a photo of the famous Jing Nan in the live broadcast pushed to him, and after clicking in, he found that the others were not there, and she was doing a live game broadcast there.

“…… So let's play this game together today......"

“…… Does Peninsula also have that kind of animatronic pet grade like eggs? Yes, it could be hahaha...... I have a lot of small game consoles, like Super Mario, which I have also played...... I've really played a lot of games......"

Mingjing Nan was talking to himself in front of the camera a little embarrassed, tidying up the burgundy bangs hanging on his forehead like a curtain from time to time, looking obviously a little nervous, and after squeaking and talking, he opened his laptop and started playing the game.

However, after watching it for a while, Chi Jingyuan saw that she should have taken a game endorsement, and this live broadcast was also for advertising and promotion, but she was still proficient in operating her role and jumping one by one, and I don't know if she had practiced it specifically.

But what's interesting is that I don't know if Mingjing Nan has no experience in advertising, and after watching it for a while, Chi Jingyuan doesn't know what the name of the game she endorses is, and this girl doesn't mention it once, and she is very engaged in playing there, and from time to time she makes two embarrassing cheers for business.

What does this ad do......

"Jingyuan, what are you looking at?"

I don't know how to attract the attention of the people next to me, Park Chanyeol, who was sitting relatively tight and also a little bored, leaned over here and looked at Ji Jingyuan's screen, and the sound also alarmed Oh Se-hoon and Kim Jun-mian on the left, and the two also glanced at this side.

"Oh, live broadcast......" After Park Chanyeol saw it clearly, he glanced at Ji Jingyuan strangely: "Do you still like to watch the live broadcast of the girl group?" ”

"I'm bored, I flipped it when I flipped through the push." Chi Jingyuan was a little tired, explained it honestly, and then took the opportunity to withdraw directly from Mingjingnan's live broadcast room.

However, although he withdrew, Mingjing Nan in the live broadcast just now seemed to have aroused the interest of several people next to him, and they no longer looked at Chi Jingyuan's mobile phone, but chatted by themselves:

"Isn't this the one from Twice, that neon member, what's it called......"

"It seems to be called mina......" Wu Shixun was a little unsure.

"It's called mina, in fact, several new girl groups debuted this year, twice is a group with a relatively high average appearance, such as Na Lian, and Ziyu ......"

The person who knows the most is obviously Park Chanyeol, this brother said with a familiar look, and paused when talking about Zhou Ziyu, glanced at Ji Jingyuan, patted him and said: "Several people are quite good-looking, but I feel average ...... this mina"

He looked at the mobile phone screen of Chi Jingyuan, who had exited the live broadcast room and APP, and after thinking about it, he began: "The combination is not very conspicuous, the red hair looks quite strange, and there are a lot of moles on the face that look awkward, and he is still a neon man...... Alas......"

Park Chanyeol said it, and finally shook his head with a sloppy mouth, feeling that his impression of Mingjing Nam was not very good.

He has said it a few times before, and the ones he thinks are the most eye-catching in twice, Lin Nalian and Zhou Ziyu......

After evaluating it, he felt that it was not enjoyable, and remembered that Chi Jingyuan, who had just watched Mingjingnan's live broadcast, looked at it and looked curious, "Jingyuan, what do you think of this neon member?" ”

“……”

Ji Jingyuan pursed his lips and glanced at him, then picked up his phone and looked again, as if he didn't mean to answer.

But he couldn't help but scold in his heart

It's the opposite of you, idiot.

……

After a four-hour flight, they arrived at Singapore Changi Airport, and after a night of recuperation at the hotel, the next day the EXO group arrived at the Singapore Indoor Stadium, the tour venue.

However, this time the concert was not as smooth sailing as before, but there were bad accidents.

In the second performance on the 10th, Kim Jong-in suddenly deformed his movements and sprained his ankle on the stage of "Call me baby" in the middle.

After years of practicing dance, many people at EXO have more or less a lot of injuries, Ji Kyung-won is no exception, and Kim Jong-in's right ankle is also an old problem, and he feels a little uncomfortable when he practices in the morning, but because he often makes mistakes, he didn't pay much attention to it, but he didn't expect a problem in the middle of the performance.

Fortunately, Ji Jingyuan and they usually practice the stage movement and formation of eight or even seven people, just to deal with this unexpected situation when someone can't appear on the stage, they immediately comforted the audience after Kim Jong-in's position, and then the eight people insisted on completing the performance.

Because of an unexpected situation, after the concert, the agent sent Kim Jong-in directly to the local hospital, and after a simple examination to make sure that there was no major problem, he did not do any diagnosis and treatment, and returned to Seoul with a large group overnight, and then re-examined in the hospital in Seoul in cooperation with SM, and the final result was that Kim Jong-in had problems with his ankle and Achilles tendon, and he had to rest for at least three to four weeks, which is not completely good.

But fortunately, if he is injured now, he will be able to prepare for EXO's new album just in time when he recovers, and it is a blessing in misfortune that he will not miss the return, but they are ready, and several important stages such as the Seoul Music Awards and the Golden Record Awards will need to be rehearsed in a few days, which is also quite troublesome.

On the second day after returning to Seoul, SM announced the news of the injury of member Kim Jong-in, and while fans outside were concerned, Ji Kyung-won came to the practice room prepared by the company.

He knocked lightly on the door and pushed it open, and then saw Bae Joo-hyun who was also looking over here.
