"Why is it on fire?"

Li Xiuman looked at a few hot search entries with burning signs on the computer screen in front of him, as well as the reports made by some marketing department employees in front of him, frowning, his expression was surprised, and there was some calmness and wisdom in his small eyes under the rimless glasses, and the whole person felt a little bad.

TWICE suddenly jumped up, and in the week when "cheer up" saw a big explosion trend, he had thought and analyzed it several times, but he always felt that his rich experience and judgment in the past had lost its effect.

He is very clear about the past and present life of the song "cheer up", and how he ran to JYP to be the title song of twice, and he still remembers very clearly the comments and words he made in front of Ji Jingyuan after listening to this song.

"Jing Yuan, you also thought of it at the beginning, this song?"

As he spoke, he looked at Chi Jingyuan, who was taking a sip of coffee in front of him, and his eyes flashed as if he was seeking recognition.

"Hmmm......"

Chi Jingyuan pondered for a little for two seconds before he said very honestly: "Actually, I didn't have much experience with girl group songs before, and I didn't do a market and style analysis, which would make me just think that this song is more ordinary, but it is not to the extent of a waste song...... It was only later that Mr. Li Xiuman and several musicians from the company said that......"

This is the truth, after he wrote this song, his evaluation was just relatively average, no highlights, but it should still work, so I was looking for Li Xiuman later, and wanted to ask him if this song was suitable for the company's girl group, and then I was affected a lot after hearing the other party's evaluation.

As he spoke, he glanced at the director nim in front of him, who was smiling but his face was faintly darkened, and interrupted the topic with a light cough, not continuing to dwell on this, but trying to explain it for the other party:

"But what Mr. Li Xiuman said is also right, I also think that the company's girl group is not suitable for the style of this song...... And when Brother Zhenying asked me to invite me to sing, I handed it to him very casually...... Later, he suddenly said that he wanted to use this song as the main song, which was actually quite surprising. ”

"Hmm......"

Picked up the teacup and drank it, Li Xiuman swallowed the tea and took a deep breath and exhaled a long breath, as if he wanted to expel all the doubts and embarrassments in his heart, and then he put the cup down, and then turned over the market reports in front of him that had just been obtained not long ago, and couldn't help but shake his head: "Looking at the data and market reaction in the past few days, the girl group JYP has risen, the popularity is unusually high, it is rare to see the people so interested in a girl group, the song "cheer up" is really ......"

"There is a certain reason for the song, but I think it is more about people."

"People? You mean the members of TWICE? Li Xiuman lowered his eyes and looked over.

"Well, the outbreak of the song "cheer up" is indeed a bit unexpected, not to mention us, JYP actually didn't expect it at all, Brother Zhenying looked obviously surprised when he called me to thank me the day before yesterday......"

Chi Jingyuan picked up the oil-based pen placed next to him and tried to turn it, but he didn't control it and threw it out and slammed it on the right side of the table, he ignored Li Xiuman's glance at the past, shrugged his shoulders very naturally and continued: "I think it should have a lot to do with the members of the group, many members of TWICE are very suitable for the style of this song, and they digest the cute vitality of transformation very well, and the quality of the members themselves is very high, so it can be regarded as a mutual achievement between people and songs...... If you change the girl group to sing, change a few people or choreographers, it is estimated that there will be no such explosive effect. ”

"And they've accumulated a lot of popularity before...... It can also be seen through the pre-sale...... Coupled with the accidental outing of 'shyshyshy' and the crazy itinerary every day, it is understandable that it can become popular. ”

"Hmmm......"

After listening carefully, Li Xiuman thought for a few seconds and then slowly nodded and agreed: "Also, I have studied the girl group twice, and it is indeed the essence of JYP's trainees in recent years." Jingyuan, what you said is good, some songs and singers achieve each other, just like "Roar", and it feels different to sing it by another person.

"Hmmm......"

Chi Jingyuan nodded his head first, then suddenly blinked, squinted his eyes and smiled a little shyly: "But teacher, I think "Roar" and "Cheer Up" are still different, "Roar" ...... Whoever sings it can be popular. ”

"Cheer Up" didn't think it was a very good song even now, but he blamed twice himself for such a good result.

But "Roar" is one of the most satisfying men's group songs made by Chi Jingyuan, the impactful concept of campus + suit and school uniform, the choreography and formation with full style, the groundbreaking one-shot MV and stage, everything has achieved the extreme of handsomeness and youth, and in the case of the song itself is very brainwashing, it has also brought all fans a visual experience that can be called the past generations, and it is still outdated when looking back now, even if this song is released today, change to a men's group to perform, He thinks it will still be a big hit.

It's just that EXO maximizes the charm of this song because of its own configuration and appearance.

"Hehe......"

Hearing Chi Jingyuan's somewhat self-contained tone, Li Xiuman shook his head with a smile, and did not refute his point of view, he casually flipped through the documents in front of him, and his face became a little serious: "The market is really hot recently...... Fortunately, you're coming back soon, and the decision to change the plan and add a precursor was really the right one, otherwise ......"

Li Xiuman didn't finish speaking, but of course Ji Jingyuan understood what he meant.

Ji Jingyuan frowned slightly, looking a little worried: "Ani, "cheer up" is so popular now, we really can't beat them......"

Before Chi Jingyuan finished speaking, as soon as he looked up, he found that Li Xiuman was looking at him with a smile, and the eyes that came from his shining smile looked at him a little hard, and the two of them looked at each other and laughed together.

"The return announcement will be issued the day after tomorrow, so be sure to say goodbye when you go back......" Li Xiuman waved his big hand and scolded Fang Xuan a little, he, and even the entire SM now have absolute confidence in EXO.

Then he remembered something, and then asked, "By the way, Jingyuan, have you thought of the song in the 'subway' project?" According to the coming in, you should also prepare a month in advance at the latest, do you want to solo yourself or find someone to work with? “

"Not yet...... Ji Jingyuan raised his eyes and thought about it, and shook his head: "There are no suitable songs in the music library, as for ...... I guess I'm looking for someone to work with. ”

"If you don't have a clue, there are a lot of songs in the company's stock that you can listen to when you have time, and you can also collect songs from musicians, if you have composers who you like and appreciate, remember to say them, many composers want to work with you......" Li Xiuman stacked the documents in front of him and picked them up on the table, and neatly put them in order: at the same time, he said, "And the same is true for your solo debut song, and now you have to start preparing in advance." ”

"So early? Isn't it planned for the end of the year? Ji Jingyuan blinked, it was only May, and he felt a little early.

"Prepare early." Li Xiuman looked over and smiled, his small eyes squinted and looked kind: "You are a member of XO's first solo, of course you are going to make a good start." ”

"yes, I see."

……

On May 1, SM Entertainment officially announced that its group EXO will release its third official album in June this year.

At the same time, before the official return, the first song "Fire" will be released on May 12, and the pre-order opening time of the official album is yet to be determined.

In addition to the official announcement of the return trailer, SM also released the first teaser photo of "fire", the background of the photo is barren and dark, in the light composition, the nine EXO people are wearing different costumes standing in a row on the right side, and the fire is burning on the opposite side of the left, the light of the flame is reflected in everyone's eyes, the flames and members on both sides of the photo form an inexplicable sense of pairing, and the new logo of 'EXO' composed of flames in the middle and below dyes the whole photo with a layer of mystery and fiery atmosphere.

Although a lot of news has been leaked out before, including Chi Jingyuan's own 'recording' ins, but after the SM official announcement was issued, it instantly became the headline of today's hot search in the entertainment section.

"Ahh

"This is the best news I've heard today! I've been waiting for more than half a year, and although it's only a precursor, I feel that the texture and grade of this teaser photo are obviously far away from other combinations. ”

"This teaser photo is really handsome, super sense, Yuan and Chanyeol are just seconds for me."

"Was the precursor still written by Yuan Oba? Is the concept of flame this time? Ahh ”

"Come back quickly, I really don't want to see Lin Nalian, an ugly girl, and the group of twice so arrogant. Recently, their fans are really dancing, and I really want those people to see what the real TOP is! ”

"Oba is coming back! shyshyshy~”

Just announcing the return time and releasing a teaser photo of the precursor song caused a huge reaction, and many people felt the popularity of EXO again.

In the original plan, some idol groups that released songs at the same time as EXO immediately turned dark, looking at the heated discussions on the Internet, they only felt a breath blocked in their chests, and they didn't know what to say.

……

In the midst of the winding, as the time enters May, TWICE, which has returned into the second week, has a general trend, fans and popularity are increasing rapidly, many program teams have sent them program invitations, and the nine members are also working hard to run the itinerary crazily.

"cheer up" is getting better and better on the music list, and at the same time, especially the stalk about the "shyshyshyshy" part is becoming more and more popular, after Ji Jingyuan, there have been several popular artists and idols in the public on the show, and even imitated this sentence on their own SNS, such as Park Shin Hye, Park Chanyeol, Kim So-hyun, etc., and even Quan Zhilong of Bigbang, also uploaded a photo of shoes on his ins, with the text: " Got new shoes, shyshyshy~"

Kwon Zhilong is different from Ji Jingyuan, he has nothing to do with twice, he just likes this stalk and thinks it is interesting, which also proves that this sentence 'shyshyshy', which does not seem to have any bright spots, does have a unique charm under Sasha Minatosaki's interpretation.

On the day of May 3rd, a hot search suddenly rushed to the forefront of the entertainment pages of many websites, instantly attracting the attention of most passers-by, and stealing a lot of attention about twice and other groups for the second time in a short period of time.

The protagonist of this hot search is from another popular girl group, AOA.

In preparation for AOA's upcoming comeback in May, the brokerage company FNC and On Style have teamed up to produce a group variety show for AOA, similar to last year's Girls' Generation's "Channel Girls' Generation" called "Channel AOA"

This variety show officially began to be broadcast on April 12th, once a week, although it is not very popular, but in addition to the fans talking, it has also attracted a lot of passers-by to watch, which is considered to have attracted a wave of fans, and there has been no problem before, but when the fourth episode was broadcast on the 3rd today, it suddenly made a huge scene.

In this episode of the group comprehensive, when the captains Shin Jimin and Kim Seo-hyun participated in a small game of guessing historical figures by looking at photos, neither of them could recognize the patriotic martyr Ahn Chong-geun of the peninsula, and it didn't matter if they didn't recognize it, Shin Ji-min also recognized this martyr figure as a member of a well-known violent organization underworld, and also said his name in Japanese.

Ahn Shige-gen was a well-known martyr on the peninsula, who had been engaged in anti-invasion activities at that time, and finally risked his life to assassinate the neon prime minister Hirobumi Ito, and was widely known as an anti-invasion hero on both the north and south peninsulas.

And after this episode of the group was broadcast, it didn't take long for someone to see that it was inappropriate and it was discussed on the Internet.

Of course, when it comes to discussion, in fact, most of them are passers-by scolding or expressing dissatisfaction, thinking that the two members of AOA are insulting and disrespectful to the national martyrs, while fans are some agreeing and some are opposing, and they are in a mess.

Many of these events began to spread rapidly, intensified, and caused great repercussions on the hot search.

Chi Jingyuan naturally knew about this, and even the limelight of "cheer up" was stolen, and he couldn't even think about it if he was so noisy.

"AOA is really unlucky...... Eh, do you know Ahn Shigeun? ”

Sitting in the café on the first floor of SM Company, several EXO members were drinking drinks while also discussing this hottest topic at the moment, and Wu Shixun next to him suddenly turned his head to look at Ji Jingyuan and asked with some ill will.

He knew that Chi Jingyuan had never lived on the peninsula before, and naturally he didn't know much about some of the historical figures on the peninsula.

Hearing this, Chi Jingyuan put down his mobile phone, turned his head and glanced at this provocative high school student with disdain, and then his expression was calm, and he said very naturally: "Nonsense, of course I know it...... I'm a student at Yonsei University, and I've learned all of these things. ”

After speaking, he took a sip of his drink, made a look of remembering something, and turned his head to look at it again: "Eh, by the way, do you know?"

"I'm sure I know that, too."

Wu Shixun nodded as he should, and then seemed to want to add an explanation in order to increase his persuasiveness: "My grades are not bad, okay, I ......"

"Do you have a perfect score in math?" Chi Jingyuan directly interrupted him: "But a full score in the math test doesn't mean that you are good at history." ”

"Assi, I said don't mention this thing anymore with a perfect score, I haven't taken a full score, it's a fan blow." Just like Bian Boxian's '35' years old, Wu Shixun's 'math perfect score' stalk has become the object of frequent ridicule by EXO members in the past few years after being told as a joke by Ji Jingyuan, and every time he says it, he will break his defense a little.

Fans blow a lot of rainbow farts of idols, Chi Jingyuan and they can actually see it on the Internet, and some of the things that are already there are blown out make idols feel very happy after seeing them, like praising them for being handsome or something.

But there are some things that he doesn't have at all, or if they are far away, fans have been embarrassed, in fact, even the main owner will feel a little ashamed after seeing it, such as Wu Shixun's achievements.

In fact, the same is true of Chi Jingyuan's results......

"I went to watch this controversial episode, but in fact, I don't feel anything, Jimin and Xue Hyun are just doing normal shows, but they just don't know Ahn Chonggen's photos."

Park Chanyeol, who was very familiar with AOA, stood up and tied them up and explained: "Ahn Chong-geun is so famous, they must know it immediately when they say it, but there are not many people who can directly recognize it just by looking at the photo, and the photo is still so small and the pixel is not high, alas......"

He sighed, and finally pouted and shook his head: "And I don't know what kind of mentality the program team put out this clip, isn't it even edited that is so controversial?" ”

"It's also ......"

Chi Jingyuan nodded in agreement, mentally agreeing with him.

In such a controversial scene in a non-live show, he feels that in addition to the idol itself, the responsibility of the program team responsible for shooting, editing and reviewing will be relatively greater.

This was the case with Lin Nalian at the beginning, and it was not an important shot, and there was nothing to do if I didn't give that shot, so the program team had to broadcast that shot, and deliberately gave a big close-up.

With the addition of AOA this time, these program groups are really stupid and bad.

"Alas, when it comes to this kind of thing, Jimin and the others are probably a little uncomfortable."

Sighing, Jin Junmian made a summary.

No matter whose problem it is, idols will definitely be greatly affected by this kind of thing, and this impact is likely to be negative.

“……”

"Alright, I'll go first."

After discussing for a while, Chi Jingyuan looked at the time, then bit the straw and inhaled sharply, drank the last drink, got up and carried his bag and prepared to leave.

"So early?" Jin Junmian next to him looked over.

Approaching the return of the prelude, everything that should be done is done, and there is nothing to do today from the afternoon, otherwise they would not be here to discuss others. It's just that he originally wanted to wait a while and call Chi Jingyuan to go to dinner together, but he didn't expect him to leave so early.

"Well, something will happen later."

Chi Jingyuan turned his head and smiled and waved his hand, and after a simple explanation, he pushed the door and left.

In the evening he had a date with his daughter-in-law.
