After Li Chenghuan brought Chi Jingyuan back to the company, he was called away. Chi Jingyuan didn't have anything to do today, so he returned to EXO's practice room.
At this time, the other four people from EXO-K except Park Chanyeol were in the practice room. Someone’s phone was playing a song on the floor and they were dancing to "History". Everyone danced very hard, every time
Every time I stepped on the floor, I made a muffled sound, as if I was venting my anger, but overall it was not very neat. Although they were dancing to the same song, they looked very messy, and the dance postures of each beat were inconsistent.
Sweat dripped on the ground and was trampled to pieces in the blink of an eye. The practice room was filled with the sound of "history" music and the sound of dancing, but it didn't make people feel lively. Instead, it felt like a silence welling up from the bottom of my heart.
Chi Jingyuan was discovered as soon as he walked into the practice room. He keenly felt the atmosphere in the room. He pursed his lips and walked to the corner to sit down. He looked at the few people who were practicing with his peripheral vision and flipped through his phone unintentionally.
With.
"Congratulations on your debut! You're so jealous of Hamida!"
"I saw your stage and I thought it was pretty good. It wasn't as fighting as it was said on the Internet!"
"Exo-K's several stages are quite good, and many trainees in the company like them very much."
"fighting..."
These are the few messages Jiang Seulgi has sent to him in the past few days. She was still very happy when congratulating her on her debut, but as the trend on the Internet became more and more wrong, although she still sent her messages every few days
I contacted him via text message, but the content and wording of the text messages became increasingly cautious and careful.
Several text messages revealed that Jiang Seulgi wanted to keep in touch but was afraid of saying the wrong thing and making Chi Jingyuan angry, who was not doing well recently. These text messages reflected her care and shrewdness, which made Chi Jingyuan laugh in her heart.
.
He has a pretty good impression of Kang Seulgi. She was born in the same year. She looks silly when she smiles but is actually very smart. Although they haven't had dinner together since they met that day, they often run into each other in the company, every few days.
We'll also talk about it someday.
Chi Jingyuan responded directly to her messages, as if she was not affected by the negative comments at all.
To be honest, Chi Jingyuan really doesn't care about bad reviews, and in fact, he has not been affected at all. Even though the songs are mediocre and the group has poor reviews, he has not received too many bad reviews, but his teammates are different.
This is the case during this period. As long as there is no announcement, the members of Team K will practice crazily in the practice room. They will not stop until they are exhausted. Every movement is like venting. After returning to the dormitory, the atmosphere is also
Not very good, full of anger, pessimism, and anxiety.
And Chi Jingyuan can only be a bystander at this time. He knows very well that in his current situation, he cannot say anything to comfort him. No matter how sincere comfort is said from him, it will make people feel uncomfortable and give people a feeling of comfort.
It’s a feeling of getting something cheap but still being good.
All Chi Jingyuan can do is to remain silent and not add fuel to the fire. After a while, they will be able to adapt to it and correct their mentality.
To be honest, Chi Jingyuan feels that he can understand the mentality of his teammates and actively keep a low profile, which is already a sign of self-cultivation and rationality. If someone with no eyes and a quarrel comes to sit in his seat, he will no longer know that there is a fight.
How many times has it happened?
If you can't adapt, the company will have to ask them to adapt, otherwise they will be slowly eliminated.
Not long after, one hand finished dancing to "History", and everyone was so tired that they lay directly on the ground, breathing heavily, but still no one spoke, and what was reflected in the huge floor-to-ceiling mirror looked like four dead bodies.
Chi Jingyuan sighed, got up and walked to the side, took a few bottles of ice water and handed them to everyone, and then continued to sit in the corner absentmindedly playing with his mobile phone.
………………
At the same time, in a conference room on the fourth floor of SM Company, several managers and senior executives were having a meeting, and they were talking about matters with EXO.
Lee Soo Man and Kim Young Min were all present. In addition, representatives from several departments within SM Corporation were also present, including the record production department that grasps market trends and reflects the singer's style, the marketing department that conducts publicity and sales, and the media
Contact the publicity department and other important departments that promote artists,
Lee Seung-hwan, the manager of EXO's agency who had just returned to the company, was also pulled away to observe. When he entered, there had been a quarrel inside for quite some time.
"exo-k received a lot of negative publicity when it debuted, including the deliberate guidance of trolls sent by other companies, but the publicity department did not respond effectively and allowed those negative comments to spread, k
The team is currently in this state, and publicity must bear an unshirkable responsibility..."
"Before the release of the title song "Mama" and the debut stage, the publicity plan we set for exo was very successful. According to data, compared to the publicity resources invested by the company, the attention the entire team received was much higher than expected.
And some negative comments about exo have also increased their popularity..."
"You should know very well in your own hearts that the reason why you are paying more attention than expected is because Yuan is a member with very good qualities and amazing ability to attract fans, so he can increase the popularity without investing extra resources, and this should be attributed to
Director Lee Soo Man and President Kim Young Min, who originally proposed Yuan to join EXO's planning, have nothing to do with your publicity department. And I also heard that Yuan's debut trailer video, which brought amazing popularity and click-through rate, is from you.
Adopting his own opinions..."
"But no matter how the popularity comes, the attention will not be fake, it is real. As long as the title song of the first album can play a certain positive role in promoting, exo-k will definitely not be able to do so based on the popularity they had before their debut.
This is the current situation, and excluding all the malicious comments contained in the comments, we found that most viewers do not like to listen to the title song, and are also very dissatisfied with the appearance of this debut, even if it is exo-k
The same goes for my fans, so..."
It was noisy inside after Lee Seung Hwan entered. The entire meeting was a blame-shifting meeting. All departments expressed their irresponsibility for the cold reception exo-k received after their debut, saying that their departments had done enough.
In fact, the people in these departments are all experienced people who have worked in the entertainment industry for many years. They are actually very clear about the various reasons for exo-k's situation in the peninsula. However, they do not seek merit but seek no fault.
Ideas are applicable everywhere.
"Dong dong dong." After they quarreled for a while, Li Xiuman, who had been listening for a long time, knocked on the table with the back of his hand, and a few muffled sounds made the conference room quiet.
