Chapter 406 Are You Eliminated?

Chapter 406 Are you eliminated?

The prelude of "Spring Day" is really beautiful. Even though there are mixed reviews for this song on the Internet, most of the reviews for the prelude are very good. The melody is melodious and attractive. It is very comfortable to listen to and makes people feel like ice and snow.

The first feeling of spring.

"I miss you, and I miss you even more when I say it."

"Looking at your photos, it's hard to understand the pain of missing each other."

"…………"

"Four years are like snow, how much will it fall..."

"Will spring come again?"

After the prelude, Byun Baekhyun's voice started the song, and his steady voice attracted the audience, who were still a little distracted, into the atmosphere of the song.

Afterwards, Park Chanyeol spoke up and started a long series of raps. His rapping skills were not particularly strong and could only be said to be above average. However, his superior facial attributes combined with his natural subwoofer voice allowed him to practice specially.

It was very comfortable to listen to in live performances, at least it is considered qualified among idols, and it does not appear to be too shortcomings.

"Snowflakes are falling and going away little by little."

"I miss you."

"The company has officially decided that we will shorten the song production and promotion period for this comeback. "Spring" will not be played for a full month like "Call Me Baby". The activity period plus the previous week will be a total of two weeks. This week

"X" activities will be tentatively scheduled after the singing session is over."

The audience, who had no special reaction when they saw EXO appear before, seemed to be moved by the stage just now. Their faces showed surprise and satisfaction that "a boy band can live at this level" and they couldn't help but applaud with a smile, a kind of

A sense of surprise couldn't help brewing in my heart, and I had a special evaluation and impression different from others about the male idol group in front of me.

Jin Junmian picked up the soju bottle on the table, turned it around in his hands and looked at it. He looked at Li Zhien's idol on it and smiled, and asked curiously: "Speaking of which, her popularity is really high, and the effect is so obvious.

, how much can IU’s endorsement fee be in a year?”

"Jingyuan, just stretch out your left hand and spread your fingers as if there is a brilliant ball of light inside. The expression should be as handsome as you like. Be natural. The more handsome the better."

And to be honest, it would be unrealistic to come back four times in a row and stay active for a full month each time.

The audience below also all fell silent.

There was a soft, obviously unhappy and somewhat resentful voice. Faced with Chi Guoguo's threat, Zhou Ziyu still surrendered.

Even after most of the oil fumes on the table were exhausted by the smoker above the table, there was still a strong smell. Various meats were roasting on the charcoal grill, making a sizzling sound, accompanied by the occasional slurping and chewing.

As well as the sound of clinking wine glasses, the whole box was filled with the intoxicating smell of fireworks.

EXO left the stage directly after the show. "Yoo Hee Yeol's Sketchbook" allocates the duration of each group according to the number of guests invited each time. XO's part today is over, and it should be Park Jin Young's turn next.

.

Among them, EXO members personally participated in more than a dozen production meetings. They had extensive discussions on song selection, effects, and processes and put forward many of their own opinions. They were fully involved in the process.

Putting aside the question of whether the venue rental has already been rented and paid for, and whether it can be temporarily changed now, the 'Olympic Gymnastics Arena' alone is already one of the top venues for IDOL's concerts in the peninsula, regardless of

The facilities, location and symbolic meaning are all very good. The maximum capacity of 15,000 spectators is not high compared to those of those domes, but it is definitely not low either.

Including MC Yoo Hee-yeol, the entire audience looked at the XO members who were already sinking in on the stage in silence, nodding gently to the beat from time to time, and the surging music of Liang Chen surrounded them, it seemed that they were really

Consciousness is immersed in music,

Looking forward to dawn in the darkness, longing for salvation in the deep sea, waiting for spring in the cold winter.

"What are you doing, why are you doing this..."

After walking out of the box, Chi Jingyuan glanced around, found a shot of the corridor where no one was around, and opened the originally closed window. A gust of cold wind blew him away, dispelling the heat from his body and he became more awake.

Said hello on the phone.

The original live version is very different from the previous dance stages. The semi-open mic dance stage actually does not need to pay too much attention to the singing part. The focus is on walking, dancing and expression management.

But now this band's live performance requires 100% of the experience to be focused on singing. While paying attention to breathing and ventilation, emotional immersion is also very important.

The singing and harmonies of several vocalists, coupled with the nodding cheers of other members sitting scattered on the stools, pushed this "Spring Day" original live live to the final climax.

Kim Jun-myeon looked at IU's profile picture and suddenly thought, "Jinro's advertisements and bottles are everywhere. Why didn't Kyung-won think of competing for this soju endorsement? It feels like it can expand the national popularity very well."

"CUT!"

It can be said that many things are packed together during this period of April. Comeback promotions, singing, concerts, and preparations for the next album are all so busy that there is not enough time. I must choose some key points to focus on.

.

But to be honest, Chi Jingyuan, as the lead singer, really likes this form of performance. He can completely integrate into the world of a song and show off his singing skills and emotions, so now he is very involved and enjoys it.

.

…………

"How is it possible? The main consumers of soju are men. How can any man be interested in buying it after seeing his face printed on the bottle?"

Bian Baoxian saw Chi Jingyuan's expression a little dissatisfied, and tapped the plate with chopsticks: "One billion is already a lot, right?"

"Kangsangmida..."

"What's wrong with having a male ticket? Just because of Wuli Jingyuan..."

After filming this super-powered VCR, the members changed their clothes and prepared to move to the next photo shoot to shoot other VCRs. At this time, the manager Lee Seung-hwan walked up to them and greeted them, gathering everyone together.

Together, we quickly announced something to them:

"Then you and IU form a soju CP."

Among all the idol groups in the Peninsula music industry, only the top groups can hold tours here. Even if the remaining groups hope to tour here, they can only do so because their popularity does not support such a large venue.

You can't get your money back without selling tickets, so you can only choose small venues with a few thousand seats or even a thousand seats.

"What's that expression on your face? Why do you look so disdainful?"

At this moment, the five members of EXO are feasting in a private room of a barbecue restaurant near KBS TV station in Yeongdeungpo-gu.

In order to ensure smooth ticket booking, Seoul Station concert tickets will be booked in two batches. Tickets for the 13 and 14 shows will be pre-sold at 8 pm on April 10 on the Internet ticket purchase website YES24, and tickets for the 16 and 17 shows will be pre-sold.

Tickets will be issued at 8pm on the 11th the next day.

"Just hold it for a few seconds and then push the light ball upwards. Make the gesture a little harder."

This kind of performance really depends on the vocal skills and expressiveness of the lead singer on the spot. As a boy band, EXO rarely has this kind of live acoustic version stage, or most idols rarely have this kind of stage, because really

It is a test of strength and condition.

I really don’t know what to say about this proposal.

Because of the great success of the previous tour, and after two consecutive months of comeback, EXO's current popularity and popularity are unparalleled among all idol groups in the entire peninsula music industry. As soon as the news came out, it immediately aroused fans and

Many passers-by expressed endless expectations, leaving messages expressing excitement, "expectation", "hope to get tickets" and other excited feelings. Among them, a considerable number of fans were worried that there were too many competitors vying for tickets and there were only 4 concerts.

Less than 60,000 tickets will definitely not be enough, so many people called on SM to temporarily change the venue to a larger venue.

"Hello."

Among the more than 200 spectators present, many of them had never heard of the song "Spring Day". This was really the first time they heard it.

The recording of "Yoo Hee Yeol's Sketchbook" had just been completed yesterday, and at this time, Ji Kyung Won and all EXO members were filming the VCR video of EXO's second tour concert in a studio in Samseongdong.

At the same time, it was determined that the location of the first Seoul leg of the second tour will be the same as last year’s first tour, which will be held at the Olympic Gymnastics Arena. Four games will be held in four consecutive days on May 13, 14, 16, and 17.

When the prelude started playing just now, some people's eyes visibly lit up and they seemed to like the melody very much. But when they heard that the auditorium, which was a little restless just now, had already become silent, only Chi Jingyuan's voice and the band's were left.

The sounds of playing complemented each other and surrounded them,

The accompaniment melody played by the band seemed to be a little sad, and the embellishment of the piano made the mood even more suffocating, but they did not feel sad because the voice from the stage sounded very warm.

"Let's try it first...action!"

"In the past few days, apart from tomorrow's 3rd anniversary live broadcast, I will focus on the concert and the shooting of the MV for the two songs "O". The schedule will be sent to you when I get back in the evening."

"Well, more." Chi Jingyuan nodded perfunctorily, not bothering to provoke him.

Zhou Ziyu called.

"The cherry blossoms are about to bloom, and winter is about to go away."

It seemed that the night breeze was very comfortable. Chi Jingyuan stretched out his hand to open the window a little wider, and then deliberately made an impatient tone: "Crazy, if you don't speak, I will hang up."

Chi Jingyuan stretched out his hand as if he was holding a bunch of dazzling light balls. He muttered two transformation words in his heart, his expression was cold and sharp, and suddenly he stretched out his hand and pushed the light ball upwards, as if he himself

It also turned into light.

"No matter what darkness it is, or what season it is."

"What a beautiful thought..."

"After Jinro replaced IU as the spokesperson, I heard that the market share has increased a lot."

"cut..."

And people like this kind of warm thing. The clear voice stirs the heartstrings and goes straight into the soul. There is peace and warmth along the way, as if it is the feeling of seeing spring after spending a cold winter.

However, Chi Jingyuan raised his eyes and thought about it, and seriously considered the feasibility of this proposal: "Maybe I will help Jinro expand the market among many women? I will find a way to compete next year."

After Chi Jingyuan listened, he pondered for a while and gestured to show that he understood.

"Of course we don't know the specific figure, but the maximum should not exceed 1.5 billion won. I think it may not exceed one billion."

"Wait until spring comes."

A lot of previews have been made before, which also indicated that EXO will hold a second tour. This morning, on April 7, SM officially uploaded a preview video on the official YouTube channel and announced EXO's second tour.

The name and meaning of Xun', as well as the specific time and place, and the ticket purchase channels are explained.

Maybe after this episode of "Yoo Hee-yeol's Sketchbook" is broadcast, some fans of other XO members will understand why Ji Kyung-won, Kim Jong-dae, and Byun Baek-hyun have so many parts...

"Wait until the flowers bloom."

As the member with the most personal advertising endorsements, Chi Jingyuan swallowed the roast meat in his mouth, thought about it, gave his own evaluation, and shook his head gently.

"Jingyuan, don't be so stiff on your expression. There's nothing to be embarrassed about. Don't laugh at others... Just imagine that you are a superpower now and a member of the Avengers. You can have a more arrogant expression. Anyway,

He's so handsome." The PD stopped filming, waved his hand to stop the laughter from the onlookers, and patiently said a few more words to Chi Jingyuan.

At the end of the performance, everyone in XO stood up and saluted and thanked the live band and the audience. At this time, the audience seemed to have just woken up from a dream, and the melodious screams and chaotic applause followed, from sparse to sparse.

It became a blast, making the whole studio noisy.

A soft and clear voice came and introduced the song into the first chorus. Chi Jingyuan, who was sitting on a high stool, put one foot on the ground and one leg on the edge of the stool. He gently lowered his head and supported it with his left hand.

Holding the headset and hand mic in his right hand, he sang immersedly.

"Wait for me right there."

This kind of non-physical superpower performance is really a bit embarrassing, and I still didn't find my groove the first time.

"I know, brother."

But he fed him twice in a row, but there was still no sound from the other party. If he hadn't heard the faint sound of extremely low breathing, he would have taken out his mobile phone to confirm whether the call was connected.

Because based on EXO’s popularity, if they don’t release shit songs or have any accidents, they can basically win most of the first place trophies just by returning to singing. In this way, in a few months, they will be the same as "Call Me Baby"

"Swept across March, most of the top spots on singing shows will be occupied by EXO for four months.

"Nothing can stay the same forever."

…………

Just for the transposition just now, if you change someone else, the effect may be very different.

Wu Shixun laughed immediately after hearing this. He picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp. He glanced at Chi Jingyuan and then at the soju bottle in front of him. He seemed to think of the way Chi Jingyuan's face was printed on the bottle.

He waved his hand in disgust, and even moved the wine bottle in front of him some distance away.

EXO's second solo world tour is named "EXO PLANET #2 - The EXO'luXion". The title 'The EXO'luXion' is a combination of the words 'EXO' and 'Revolution', which stands for EXO

Start over with this tour.

"PDnim I got it."

In this case, other combinations will not be able to drink soup, and other people and other companies will have opinions.

"It's not impossible... but everyone has men, right? There were rumors a few days ago that he was photographed, are they true or false?" How could one show timidity at the wine table with such a topic? Chi Jingyuan narrowed his eyes reservedly.

He smiled noncommittally and nodded, taking away all the other people's heckles. He picked up the wine glass and took a sip of soju. He also glanced at the profile picture on the bottle and asked, remembering the news he had seen before.

"Axi..."

"That's okay."

"Wait for me there."

In the past few days, EXO has been working hard on the VCRs needed to shoot. In addition to the special effects video at the beginning, there are also several VCRs used for transitions in the middle that need to be shot, which is a lot of work.

Although EXO can be said to be a big name in the music industry, not everyone will pay attention to them. At most, they have heard or know their names. There are many people in the music industry who only like lyric singers, solo artists, and even relatively niche people.

There are quite a lot of people who are fans of music.

"I heard it's true, with Zhang Jihe." Park Chanyeol used chopsticks to poke Huo on the baking sheet. He who was relatively well-informed began to gossip: "I heard that we were in contact last year, I don't know the details.

, but it must be true.”

And this kind of power comes from the gentlest ray of determination in this song.

SM has really done their best for this concert. They hired a well-known concert design team from the United States at a high price. It took nearly five minutes to shoot just the special effects VCR for the effect. The investment is not small, and there is still more than a month left.

The monthly income is no longer very sufficient. Although it has just been a week since their comeback, EXO's focus in the past few days has actually been on preparations for the concert.

But what the PD said was right, it would indeed be easier to substitute, but Chi Jingyuan did not substitute any Avengers as he said.

As for light, of course it’s the Warrior of Light.

SM won't do that.

Spring will definitely come.

Hearing this, the members nodded one after another, and Chi Jingyuan responded along with the others.

When Chi Jingyuan opened the door and walked out of the box, he answered the phone and said "hello". After hearing the obvious Chinese words, Park Chanyeol couldn't help but turn his head and glance at him. He was a little surprised and then smiled narrowly.

"I miss you."

To be honest, XO members also pay more attention to touring than returning. After all, concerts are the most profitable.

"Okay PD, I understand."

Preparations for EXO's second world tour began at the end of last year. After the company held a meeting to discuss and decide on the location and cost of the rental venue, several production meetings were held to determine the location and time of the tour concert, as well as performances.

There were many extremely tedious matters including hairstyle, costumes, song selection, stage effects and lighting design, etc. By the end of last month, all preparations finally came to an end.

After a day of filming the concert VCR, the five XO people went to KBS to record the radio program "Kiss the radio" in the evening. After the program ended, it was almost 12 o'clock, and several of them were a little hungry, so they found a home nearby.

We had a late night snack at a barbecue restaurant, and after ordering a few bottles of soju, we chatted while eating and unknowingly got to talking about IU, the spokesperson on the bottle.

During the last chorus, Chi Kyung-won closed his eyes slightly, still covering his headset, and performed his part seriously and emotionally. Do Kyung-soo and Byun Baek-hyun, who were sitting on the other side of the stage, held their microphones and gently

Following the harmony, the voices of several people came together beautifully and harmoniously. The tacit cooperation and integration made people feel extremely comfortable. It seemed that as soon as you closed your eyes, you could see the coldness of winter fading away, and the warm spring light coming from

The moment when the thread in the clouds caressed my face was touching.

Just when Bian Baixian saw that no outsiders were shouting around, Chi Jingyuan's cell phone suddenly rang. He quickly put the meat into his mouth, put down his chopsticks, freed his hand to take out his cell phone, and looked at

After glancing at the familiar caller, he blinked, took out two pieces of toilet paper, wiped his mouth, stood up, waved and said hello: "I'm going to answer the phone, don't forget to leave some for me."

"I miss you……"

"good!"

The live performance of this song with them as the main body has reached a high level in terms of listening and emotion, and a lyrical song, whether it is 'lyric' or 'emotional', is well presented.

"Spring Day" is the most difficult part, including most of the chorus, which is covered by the four lead singers. But thanks to this, the live charm of this song can be maximized. EXO's lead singer line is popular in the entire Peninsula boy band.

It is the top of the line. The configuration of four lead singers is considered luxurious in any male or female band, and can even make many companies in the industry jealous and lament the waste.

"Eh~~"

"It sounds very interesting. Why don't you two date each other?"

"Why are you pretending to be deep and talking?"

This is actually the current situation of most Kpop groups. They say they go on tours all over the world every day to promote Kpop, and all kinds of big-character posters are filled with fans flying rainbow farts all over the place, making them hot and boasting like world superstars. In fact, most of them are small venues with thousands of people or even

Many times, the seats are not full. Fans or officials need to find good angles to take photos or cover the auditorium with black cloth. In real tours, they can easily hold large venues with more than 10,000 people, including a few groups such as EXO and Big Bang.

After listening to the PD's instructions, Chi Jingyuan nodded to show that he understood. Finally, he tidied up the gray long-sleeved suit he had just changed into, which looked like a sauna suit. He nodded and posed in front of the camera as he entered the work.

.

Her tone was slightly hoarse and sticky, as if she had just cried.

It was already very late. With the schedule of Zhou Ziyu and other trainees, they should rest immediately even if they haven't gone to bed yet. There must be something wrong with her calling so late, and her condition doesn't sound like she is in good condition.

good.

"Not sleeping so late...let me guess."

Chi Jingyuan heard that she seemed to be in a bad mood. After raising his eyes and thinking for a while, he seemed to have thought of something. His tone suddenly became louder and he asked in a surprised voice:

"The "Sixteen" you won't participate in was eliminated in the first episode, right?"
