In the second week of singing competition, except for "Music Center", which did not have a trophy because it held 400 special episodes, Yuan & suzy once again won the first place in all four singing competition programs with "some".
Among them, "Show Champion" has a relatively low gold content and is not comparable to the three major channels. It is a song competition program for idols who are relatively obscure and have little popularity and have not won their first No. 1 trophy. Some
Popular artists are too lazy to attend.
However, no matter how small the mosquitoes are, they are still meat, and it does not take much effort to harvest them and add them to your book of honor.
Since the "Inkigayo" award ceremony on March 9, the negative comments and negative comments about Girls' Generation on the Internet have become somewhat uncontrollable.
In the first week of their return, all the singing competition programs had a candidate, but they were all overwhelmed by "some". The nine members clapped their hands four times in a row during the program awards.
After missing one place for the first two times, they would come over enthusiastically and high-five Ji Jingyuan under the leadership of Taeyeon and Sunny to express their congratulations, but later on, even Taeyeon's mentality after not getting one place
It was a bit up and down. Although he still smiled and congratulated Chi Jingyuan, Chi Jingyuan could also see that this sister was in a bad mood.
Although the other members also kept polite smiles and applauded at this time, of course they would not congratulate as before.
They are not blind, of course they can see the comments on the Internet, and they are all seniors who have been debuting for so many years. If they have no results in the first week of their return, they will feel a little bad.
And to be honest, Girls’ Generation has dominated the Peninsula girl group for so long, and it’s been a long time since I’ve been a tap member.
This feeling is really bad, but there is nothing I can do about it.
…………
Just after attending an EXO interview event, Chi Kyung-won said goodbye to the members and got into Park Jae-hyun's car to go to a studio in Samsung-dong for a commercial shooting trip.
In the past few days, his advertising has really received a lot of attention. Several top brands are still negotiating, but small and medium-sized endorsements do not need to be negotiated for too long. In a short time, just the shooting of the advertisement and the promotion on the website are almost killing him during the day.
My schedule is full.
He has to go back to the company every night to prepare the album and work overtime until early in the morning. On the singing day, he has to go to the TV station to work. At this time, he seems to have returned to the most popular period last year.
Yesterday, SM announced on the official website and SNS at the same time that 'EXO will officially return to the peninsula music industry with a second mini album in the near future. The return is expected to be in mid-April. The company will announce the title of the album and title song on April 1.
And the news of the new concept photo ".
As soon as this news came out, it immediately ignited many pages in the music industry and became the focus of discussion among fans for a while.
Last year, EXO's regular album "xoxo"'s astonishing achievement of breaking the million limit has still not dissipated. The boy group's divine song "Roar", which has been recognized as a coffin, is still on the melon list even in 2014.
The ranking is pretty good, higher than the rankings of some boy bands’ new title songs.
Coupled with the explosive popularity and the blessing of four major awards at the end of the year, EXO has already become a super first-line boy group recognized by everyone. Although its qualifications may be a little lower, no one will deny that it is a top boy group. It is far from the real
Top is not far away either.
Due to the combination of various factors, both fans and passers-by have great expectations for XO's next return. As soon as the news came out, major forums immediately fell into heated discussions.
SM also took advantage of the situation and arranged several interview and promotional activities for EXO to warm up the new album, and promoted the preparation progress of the album more and more frequently. Lee Seung Hwan basically lives in the practice room when he has nothing to do recently.
Supervise members' practice.
In fact, according to this progress and the intensity of overtime work, there is no problem for XO to complete all album preparations within the deadline given by the company.
The pictorial and promotional photos have been taken, and the MV shooting for "overdose" has begun. The recording of the lead song "dope" and other included songs should also be completed, and the MV shooting will be done soon.
Although every member is very tired, returning as an idol is one of the most important things. They may have some complaints and dissatisfaction with the company, but they will not be passive and slow down. On the contrary, everyone is working hard and persisting in the hope of returning this time.
You can live up to expectations.
After all, compared to the low-level boy band idols who don't even have names in the music industry, are unknown and have no popularity, they are already too lucky.
After closing the door and getting into the nanny car, the assistant drove the car towards the destination. Park Jae-hyun sat in the passenger seat and read the documents, while Chi Kyung-yuan sat in the back seat by the window, closing his eyes and covering his forehead.
"What's wrong with Jingyuan?"
Park Jae-hyun glanced at the rearview mirror and noticed that Chi Jingyuan's face looked a little ugly, so he asked with concern.
"My head is a little dizzy..."
Chi Jingyuan closed his eyes and shook his head slightly. Feeling the obvious dizziness feedback, he sighed softly: "Maybe he has a cold."
"Cold? When did it start?"
Park Jae-hyun put down the document in his hand, stopped looking in the rearview mirror, turned around and leaned over the seat, frowned and looked at Chi Jingyuan's face with concern, and asked repeatedly.
"Yesterday, maybe the day before yesterday..." Chi Jingyuan recalled: "But I didn't have any symptoms before today, I just felt a little uncomfortable. I started to feel dizzy after I woke up today."
"It's not very hot..." Park Jae-hyun put his palm on Chi Jingyuan's forehead and murmured, feeling it while he looked at his face carefully.
"After the trip is over, let's go to the hospital for a checkup." Chi Jingyuan breathed out.
"Don't wait for a while, go now. You can't be careless about your health. I remember Jingyuan, you have always been in good health and rarely get sick."
"Jichang, transfer to Samsung Seoul Hospital, Iwon-ro, Gangnam-gu.:"
Park Jae-hyun made a decision directly this time. While explaining to Cui Zhichang, the driving assistant, he took out his mobile phone and started dialing. At the same time, he said: "I'll just tell the advertising agency to postpone it.
The directors are all acquaintances, so there will be no problem."
"..."
Chi Jingyuan didn't speak, but leaned over and nodded.
The nanny van quickly arrived at the hospital. After making a few phone calls, Park Jae-hyun did not wait in line or anything, and walked directly in with Chi Jingyuan through the special passage. As soon as he entered, there were already people waiting to greet him.
It seemed that the man was not dressed as a technical person, but rather as a hospital manager. As soon as he saw Chi Jingyuan, he came up to say hello enthusiastically, led the way with greetings, and patted his chest while promising that Chi Jingyuan would get it.
The best treatment, while taking them around for a while, walked into a luxurious courtyard that was not open to the public.
…………
"It's not a big problem, it's the cold, fever and some accompanying symptoms caused by the virus."
The manager drove them to the parking lot. After seeing the nanny car driving away, Park Jae-hyun was still smiling brightly from behind. Park Jae-hyun, who was relieved, looked away from the rearview mirror, smiled softly, and then turned around.
He spoke to Chi Jingyuan.
"I also think it's just that I'm a little uncomfortable and my head is a little dizzy." Chi Jingyuan was still a little tired, so he leaned on it and closed his eyes to rest.
"In addition to taking medicine on time and taking good care of your body, the doctor said that the main thing is to pay attention to rest. Jing Yuanqi's body has been under a serious load recently."
"Pay attention to rest...hehe..."
When Chi Jingyuan heard this word, he couldn't help but repeated it and smiled helplessly.
EXO's comeback is just around the corner, and the preparation for the album is also in a very fast pace. In addition to his cooperation with Bae Suzy and his personal schedule during this period, it would be a ghost if he could really take a good rest.
In fact, even though he works overtime every day, Chi Jingyuan actually doesn't feel tired at all. He is in good health and in good spirits. Apart from the lack of sleep and the grinding time he gets up every day, he doesn't feel much.
As for sleeping, he has also learned how to sleep on his head in the nanny car and backstage, which is a powerful supplement to his rest time.
Chi Jingyuan is in the best health and has not been sick for a long time. Others in EXO have been sick frequently recently. Apart from colds, they have basically recovered from all kinds of injuries.
Once it was discontinued, everyone got used to it.
Shaking his head, he looked at Park Jae-hyun and asked, "Brother, where is the medicine?"
"Put it in your bag. Remember to eat it on time. I will remind you then."
"knew."
…………
On the 14th, backstage at KBS's "Music Bank", the vibration of his cell phone made Chi Kyung-won, who was closing his eyes to rest, open his eyes, shook his head, and took out his cell phone to take a look.
Zhou Ziyu sent it, and the two have never lost contact.
The other party also knows that Chi Jingyuan is very busy, so the frequency of contact is not high. Every few days, she will send some messages to chat during her break, talking about some things she has encountered in her life recently, and occasionally she will do so.
I couldn't help but complain a few words, just to vent my emotions a little bit.
But Zhou Ziyu has a problem. The messages he sends are often long and not segmented into one piece. Looking at the series of traditional Chinese characters makes Chi Jingyuan feel dizzy.
This kid likes this every time he sends a text message, but Chi Jingyuan also has a way to deal with it. He glanced at the text message he sent and casually replied with one word without reading the content carefully:
"Um."
But the perfunctory tone did not stop the other party's enthusiasm, and soon another message came over:
"My mother recommended a facial mask to me last month and it was really effective. I kept using it after I returned to the dormitory after practice every day. Several friends said that I have become a lot whiter recently and asked me to use the brand.
Recommend it to them, hehe. By the way, a Chinese restaurant opened near our company a few days ago. My friends and I went to try it. The food was average, but the stinky tofu they made was very authentic and delicious. No.
I know if you like to eat it... By the way, you know stinky tofu, right?"
"Um."
"During the Chinese New Year, my mother came to see me and brought a lot of specialties from our area. I specially saved some for you to try next time. They are really delicious and cannot be bought here on the peninsula. Last one
I made some progress in the end-of-month assessment, and the teacher also said that I worked hard, but I heard that the company will have a girl group debut soon, so there won't be any more girl group projects within a few years, alas... that's right
, During this period, several local male trainees often came to our practice room, and would also bring some drinks and snacks to me and a few friends. They spoke loudly on purpose, which was really childish..."
"Um."
"...Are you watching..."
"Can you please stop replying with 'um' all the time?"
Zhou Ziyu finally discovered Chi Jingyuan's unabashed perfunctory attitude, and couldn't help but send two consecutive messages to question him.
When Chi Jingyuan saw it, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up. He could imagine the other person sitting on the floor of the practice room, holding a mobile phone and texting angrily with his nose wrinkled.
"Okay, but Tzuyuxi, you have to learn to segment it first."
Chi Jingyuan typed out a few words quickly and sent it. Zhou Ziyu probably suppressed this message and became sulky. He didn't reply for a while.
Chi Jingyuan also regained some energy at this time. He glanced at Bae Suzy, who was sitting on the dressing table next to her with her hair style unfinished. She turned her head and leaned on the sofa, holding her phone and starting to watch a variety show.
This is MBC's talk show variety show "Golden Fishing Ground: Radio Star". The special episode of Girls' Generation aired on March 12th. It is one of the many variety shows to promote Girls' Generation's return.
This issue is quite exciting. Chi Jingyuan watched it for a while yesterday but didn’t finish it due to time constraints. Now I have time to catch up on it.
As for why it's exciting...because this issue is called "Golden Fishing Ground: Love Era Special".
Just call them by this name. These sisters really went all out for publicity. They seemed to have completely let go and started joking about their relationship.
But fans will probably feel quite uncomfortable when they see it.
Currently Girls' Generation has exposed and confirmed the relationship between Lim Yoon Ah and Choi Soo Young.
Two days ago, the media broke the news that Jessica was dating a foreign male friend. As soon as the news came out, there was another commotion among fans.
However, soon SM and Jessica themselves spoke to clarify the news, which relieved the already fragile Sone.
But in fact, as an insider, Chi Jingyuan knew that the news was actually true. Sunny had mentioned it to him before, and Zheng Xiujing had mentioned it more than once.
But since they have denied it, of course the fans will believe the idol. They will not read the various revelations and rumors on the Internet. As long as the official does not admit it, it must be false.
Lin Yoon-ah and Choi Soo-young, who were exposed in this episode, did not come. It is said that they were afraid of being asked too many questions and would not be able to answer.
Chi Jingyuan didn't know what Cui Xiuying said, but he felt that Lin Yoona probably didn't like others making fun of such things.
"Ha ha……"
Chi Jingyuan looked at it and suddenly couldn't help laughing. He was amused by MC's words.
"Does Girls' Generation's comeback title song "Mr. Mr." mean two men, namely Lee Seung Gi and Jung Kyung Ho?"
"Cough...cough..."
It was really adding salt to the bloody wound. Chi Jingyuan smiled a little too hard and coughed. He quickly covered his mouth with a mask, arched his waist and coughed hard several times.
"It's been several days, and your illness still hasn't healed?"
At this time, Pei Xiuzhi, who had finished styling, came over, sat on the sofa next to Chi Jingyuan, patted his back gently with her hand, and then slid it up and down to make Chi Jingyuan feel better.
"Who knows, I feel like the medicine is not very effective."
Chi Jingyuan took a breath and nodded to Pei Xiuzhi to express his gratitude.
It has been several days since he caught a cold. Although he went to the hospital for a checkup and there was no major problem and was prescribed medicine, it has not healed for so long and has been getting worse.
In addition to having a low fever, Chi Jingyuan also has some discomfort in his throat, which makes him wear a mask even in the lounge.
At this time, Park Jae-hyun pushed open the door of the lounge and walked in. He took a glass of water from the water dispenser, then took out the medicine, walked over and handed it to Chi Jingyuan together. At the same time, he explained: "I have contacted you just now.
We don’t know how to open the mic for any of the singing shows in the world, but you should pay attention to your mouth shape when you go on stage."
"In addition, the staff just informed me that an interview with a candidate will be recorded immediately. It's us and Girls' Generation, Jingyuan, you guys, please prepare."
When performing on stage, Peninsula idols will choose full mic, half mic or no mic depending on the situation and stage type.
Full open mic is the test of basic skills. Pure accompaniment parts are all sung by oneself. At the same time, the sound facilities on site are also very important. There are often obvious gasping sounds. If the performance is not good enough or the condition is not good, it can easily become the scene of a car accident.
However, it is also an opportunity for some singers to show off their abilities. Many fans of idol groups like to use sound-absorbing videos of the full-mic stage to compete with their opponents.
Of course, the silenced video of the scene of the stage car accident is also strong evidence that many black fans attack idols for their poor abilities. EXO, who just debuted, was badly criticized by the silenced video.
The half-open mic accompaniment will include backing singers and pad sounds. The singer can perform with the least effort and the effect is very good.
If you don't turn on the mic, you just play the CD and lip-sync. Basically, you don't turn on the mic during commercial performances.
Whether to open the mic or not is the company's arrangement. The company will choose based on the strength of its artists and various factors. Artists generally do not have much say. Until now, the combination of Chi Jingyuan and Bae Suzy has generally been singing.
They all choose semi-open wheat.
Chi Jingyuan has no problem with his singing skills and live performance. Whether the mic is on or not does not have much impact. The main reason is that Pei Suzy is a little bit worse. If the mic is on, it may have some bad effects.
"I know, brother."
After Chi Jingyuan took a medicine, he took a sip of water, then handed the water glass to Park Jae-hyun, while looking at Pei Suzy: "Then it's the same as yesterday, the interview and one of the testimonials are all yours, Suzy xi!"
…………
"So if Girls' Generation wins one, what special performance will they use to thank the audience and fans for their support?"
In the waiting room, the two MCs of "Music Bank", young actor Park Seo-joon, and Sistar's Bora were holding microphones and recording interviews.
Behind them are two of today's candidates. On the left, there are nine people from Girls' Generation wearing singing uniforms. On the right, Ji Kyung-won and Bae Suzy appear to be quite empty.
Different from "m!countdown", each issue of "Music Bank" will specially bring together a candidate for an interview. In addition to saying some words of mutual praise to promote each other, they will also be asked to say "a promise"
, that is, if you get one, how you will give back to the fans.
The recording has been going on for a while now, and the MC has already introduced two candidates. Just now Girls' Generation and Yuan & Suzy sang each other's song parts. One said "some" is really good and they listen to it every day, and the other
While saying that Girls' Generation is the legend of Peninsula girl groups and their idols all along, the entire interview was in a harmonious atmosphere.
"What if we, Girls' Generation, win the first prize? We will do a very cute dance on the encore stage."
Maknae Seohyun has recently become the spokesperson of Girls' Generation. She took the microphone and gestured to the camera, and then all the members waved happily.
"What about Yuan&suzy?"
"Well...if we win one, we will exchange parts during the encore."
Bae Suzy pretended to think for a moment, then tilted her head cutely towards the camera.
"OK, then our two first-place candidates have announced their 'One Commitment'. Who will win the first place trophy on this week's "Music Bank"? Stay tuned!"
After the two MCs exaggeratedly said a line, the interview recording was over. The artists and staff said to each other, "Thank you for your hard work" and said goodbye.
"Are you okay yet?" Sunny and Taeyeon came over and looked at Chi Jingyuan, who didn't speak much during the interview, and asked with some concern.
"..." Chi Jingyuan pursed his lips and shrugged, with a look of helplessness on his face.
"Jingyuan, this is the last week for you guys to play songs. Hurry up and finish the song. Take a good rest and recover from your illness. Let us Nunas take the first place. We have been back for so many days... You are a music source
The results are also very good.”
Jin Xiaoyuan, who was following behind, walked in and gently patted Chi Jingyuan on the shoulder.
This sister is quite interesting. I don’t know if she is concerned about Chi Jingyuan’s health or worried about her singing performance when she was a teenager.
From Girls' Generation's first stage on the 6th to now, basically every singing stage can get a candidate, but all of them will be knocked down by Ji Kyung Won and Bae Suzy's "some". So far, none of them have won.
arrive.
One person is not the main data to measure a group's comeback performance, sound source and sales volume are.
But the number of digits also shows the popularity of an idol group. Whether it is popular or not is the most intuitive thing about the general trend. It is also an evaluation based on the combination of music source and sales. At least in recent years,
Being a singer, especially being a singer in the singing programs of the three major TV stations, is very valuable.
There have been zero members since the return, which is definitely something that is difficult for Girls' Generation to accept. Now every member is already under a lot of pressure, even some members who are not interested in the team anymore.
If this return really ends with zero, losing face would be the lightest consequence.
Seeing that Chi Jingyuan's throat was not feeling well, they didn't talk much and returned to each other's lounge.
And today's result is actually as expected, "some" once again won the first trophy with a score of over 10,000 points.
In the next two days of "Music Center" and "Inkigayo", the candidates will all be from the two groups, and the winner of the first prize will not change either.
During the award ceremony of "Inkigayo", the last singing stage of "some", when the MC announced a winner, Ji Kyung-won could clearly see the smiles of many members of Girls' Generation, in addition to business congratulations.
After unconsciously feeling a touch of joy and obvious relief, for some reason, the thoughts in my heart suddenly became confused.
