In just two days, the emotions of the entire crew were like being on a roller coaster. The changes were so fast that it was impossible to react.
One day, my mood fell to the bottom because the ratings did not rise but fell. The next day, I jumped for joy because of the sudden increase in ratings.
Although 14.9% is a very obvious increase compared to the previous three episodes, it is actually not a very high number. It has not even reached the lowest ratings of "The Lord's Sun".
However, when Chi Jingyuan was browsing online discussions, he felt keenly that the praise for "The Heirs" in the comments was gradually increasing. In particular, many people said that although the previous plots were a bit cliché, these episodes were
In addition to traditional idol dramas, it shows something different. I look forward to the subsequent development and so on, instead of blindly slandering and complaining.
Excluding those trolls who hate EXO and Ji Jingyuan for the sake of being black, passers-by spoke highly of his role as Jin Tan. Even if the subsequent plot did not develop, his interpretation in the first four episodes alone was
This role left a deep impression on people. Basically, it was the one who appeared in these few episodes and received the most praise and recognition among all the actors.
In a film and television forum, a long review with the highest number of likes read like this:
"After watching the first four episodes, I don't want to discuss the plot, it's meaningless."
"Let's talk about the actors. The one who impressed me the most was the actor Chi Jingyuan. The character Jin Tan he played was really the most similar of all the second-generation chaebols in the TV series I have watched."
"His image is not expressed by an arrogant expression, or by big-name clothes and luxurious surroundings, but by his temperament from the inside out, expressions and various small movements that fit the character's setting.
His little eyes and little habits are all there at his fingertips, giving people the impression that he is really Jin Tan, not just a performer."
"His scenes in that amazing luxurious villa in the first few episodes were so natural and so natural that it felt like he had lived here for a long time..."
"Chi Jingyuan's real family situation should be very good, right? Is there any exo fans or Yuan fans who can educate me, I didn't know about it before I was a stranger... His appearance and temperament are really unique. I can only say that
The feeling he gave people in the play, even if he was wearing a rag sack and standing in front of me in a very embarrassed manner, I would never think of him as a beggar. Instead, I would think of him as a runaway young man who ran away from home.
"
In addition to being liked by exo fans, this long comment was also recognized by quite a few passers-by and was directly pushed to the top of the forum. There were more and more clicks and comments.
However, no one could answer the questions he raised in the long comment. Chi Jingyuan has never exposed his family background since his debut. It was only revealed in some talk shows when the members chatted that he was not short of money and often invited guests to dinner.
There are attributes like this, but that's all, there are no more in-depth ones.
Therefore, even the most die-hard Yuan fans cannot tell his specific family conditions. They only know that his conditions are probably good.
The expectations and praise that started to emerge online, and the huge increase in ratings this time, gave the crew a shot in the arm, which slightly dispelled some of the oppressive haze that had been oppressive for a few days, and also cheered up the actors and creators.
Worked harder.
After all, there seemed to be hope, and the prospects suddenly seemed to brighten.
…………
In a conference room on the fourth floor of the SM company building, 11 people who had returned to the peninsula from Xia Kingdom a few days ago, plus Chi Jingyuan who specifically asked for leave from the crew to come back for the meeting, and all EXO members were present, listening to the company's speech to them
Latest arrangements.
"Due to the popularity of the regular reissue of the album, xo's popularity has completely exploded. Both popularity and sales have far exceeded our previous expectations, so the company decided to take this opportunity to let you come back again."
"After repeated discussions, the company has formulated xo's latest comeback plan. It is expected to release a new winter special album in early December. The album will be named "Miracles in December"."
"This special album will be released in the form of a mini album, containing a total of 5 songs. The overall concept is to 'let all fans and listeners feel the warmth even in the cold winter.' The title song of the same name "December"
"The Miracle" was composed by a well-known European and American composer invited by the company to cooperate. It is a lyrical song that combines a perceptual piano melody with beautiful orchestral sounds and highlights the pop trend."
The members all looked excited when they heard this. Returning is a good thing for every group and proves their popularity and value. As artists whose survival depends on exposure and popularity, no one wants to stay home for a long time.
Picking your feet.
Although EXO's schedule is very busy now, the busier it is, the more popular it is. The members can only say that they are sad and happy.
However, the next words of the company manager who was announcing the plan made many people change their minds:
"Because the style of the songs in this album is all lyrical songs, so after research, the company decided not to make a full comeback this time."
"The returning members this time are Yuan, D.O., Chen, Luhan and Baekhyun, all of whom are vocal members. The company believes that they can show the charm of this special album, which is mainly about ballads, to the greatest extent.
"The five included tracks are all divided into two versions: Korean and Chinese. The Korean version was recorded by Yuan, D.O. and Chen, and the Chinese version was recorded by Yuan, Luhan, Baekhyun, and Chen. The singing stage was also recorded by you guys.
He will appear alone, and the other members will only participate in the promotional pictorial and part of the MV shooting."
"All preliminary preparations have been completed, and planning is expected to begin the day after tomorrow."
"The specific work schedule has been sent to your agent. Are there any other questions?"
Except for the several lead singers who were named to participate, the other members' expressions were a little ugly, with Park Chanyeol and Kim Jong-in showing the most obvious expressions. After listening, they lowered their heads and frowned, as if they hadn't heard anything.
Jin Junmian opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he did not speak.
Although they are very dissatisfied and somewhat incomprehensible, the company has decided the matter, and they actually have no room for objection. Even though EXO is extremely popular now, after all, their debut time is still a little short, and their qualifications are too young.
"...Director Nim, do I need to participate in both versions of the recording? Moreover, the crew has a very heavy filming task now. I don't know about the song recording in December..."
Chi Jingyuan raised his hand at this time and expressed his problem.
"Jingyuan, because you joined the group a little late, the planning department has always been a little vague about your position. There are no definite responsibilities except for the maknae."
"After understanding your ability, the company decided to let you serve as the vocalist in the group in the future. It just so happens that Team K currently only has one official vocalist, D.O.... This return is an opportunity to show off."
"And because of your Xia Wen skills and your popularity in Xia Country, both versions of the recording require your participation."
"We also understand your situation, so if the shooting time is tight, you don't need to participate in the singing stage."
