One of the highlights of the song "Spring Day" is the melody and artistic conception of the intro. When the source of the song was just released and the reputation was mixed, it was liked by many people. Even some fans or passersby who didn't like the latter part of the song liked it.
This intro has received good reviews.
The electronically synthesized music in the original version disappeared at this time, and it had a different flavor when played by the band using a few limited instruments.
There are less fireworks, but there is more coolness.
This prelude immediately cheered up Yin Shigui, who was a little casual just now. He put his legs down and changed into a more comfortable sitting position. He leaned forward slightly and looked at the TV screen carefully and listened.
'This song is quite nice. It is completely different from the previous song "Roar". This EXO style is quite changeable.'
‘There were no mistakes on the live stage, and the listening experience was quite good. Is it true that a boy band sings ballads so well?’
'And these lead singers are pretty strong, especially this one...Chi Jingyuan...'
The naturally slightly surging melody, the melodious and clear singing voice, and the tacit and gentle harmonies were blended and intertwined at this time, gently emanating from the speakers, slowly wandering in the living room where Yin Shigui was, until it formed
A warm piece of music fills every corner.
It was already late at night at 12:30 in the morning. The surroundings were very quiet and no noise could be heard. The TV living room with the lights turned off could only hear pleasant music playing continuously. The contrast between silence and noisy made this moment in the cold midnight.
It seemed particularly atmospheric at the moment.
Everything is silent, only the spring is blooming.
Silently listening to the iconic harmonies of the EXO lead singers in the last part, and looking at Ji Jingyuan who was completely immersed in the screen with his earphones in his hands, his head lowered and his eyes closed, Yoon Seokkyu's heart was filled with the melody and artistic conception of "Spring Day"
While suddenly enlightened, I also had a lot of interest in this boy band that had been famous for a long time.
Even though he doesn’t know much about boy bands and even has a little innate bias in his heart, Yin Shikyu still admitted that the live effect of this episode was very good and he liked this stage.
He also changed a lot about the members who sang seriously, even though their faces didn't look like capable people at all.
'This boy band...is not bad, very good.'
'This song is also very nice...'
Watching the nine members of EXO come off the stage and take their final call, Yoon Seok-gyu nodded secretly in his heart and couldn't help but praise them.
He suddenly lost some interest in the next guest, Park Jin Young. He glanced at it twice and then withdrew his gaze. He crossed his legs, took out his phone and started searching for EXO. After roughly reading the information, he specifically added "Spring Day" to the list.
Your own playlist.
I originally wanted to recommend it to my friends, but I had no choice but to give it up when I saw how late it was.
Let's talk about it tomorrow.
…………
Although the average ratings of "Yoo Hee Yeol's Sketchbook" are good, because the recent episodes have not had any hot spots or high-quality stages, the ratings have been a bit unsatisfactory during this period. The last episode was in April.
The ratings for the episode broadcast on the 3rd were only 0.7%, which was lower than the program average.
The ratings for this episode, calculated on the morning of the 12th, took a big step forward, jumping directly to 2.2%, which was more than three times the previous episode.
Such a huge increase even surprised the program team while being excited. Although it cannot be said that all the credit is due to EXO. After all, they are not the only guests in this episode. People such as Park Jin Young also have high nationality.
Many people like his music.
But the role that XO played in it should be beyond doubt.
After this episode of "Yoo Hee-yeol's Sketchbook" was broadcast, the entry EXO's "Yoo Hee-yeol"# was on the hot search list at noon the next day, and it immediately attracted many people who had not watched the live show to be interested.
I clicked in to check it out. After watching it, I went to watch the video of this program on YouTube. After seeing EXO’s live stage with excellent effects and quality, I couldn’t help but leave a comment below. At the same time, most people couldn’t bear it.
I would listen to "Spring Day" at the club, and some would recommend it to friends, thus forming a healthy chain.
As the popularity slowly spreads, at 11 o'clock today, EXO's "Spring Day" finally surpassed "Only You" on the list, which had been on top for ten days. It was the first time since the sound source was released.
Melon is No. 1 on the daily rankings, and has started to catch up with it on the weekly rankings. According to this progress, it should take less than a day or two to knock down MissA.
Ten days after the song was released, there was an astonishing growth that bucked the trend. The popularity and number of listeners were even higher than in the days just after the song was released, which had to surprise many listeners and even industry practitioners.
Of course, this situation cannot be entirely attributed to the program "Yoo Hee-yeol's Sketchbook". The main reason is that the songs are good and of high quality, and more and more people are listening to them. The word-of-mouth continues to spread and ferment. This program mainly serves as a
The introduction played a boosting role.
It can be regarded as mutual success.
And if you look at the online comments for the song "Spring Day" today, you will find that the reputation of this song has changed and improved unknowingly. The comment area was once flooded with comments of all kinds.
The evaluations of 'average', 'unpleasant', 'disappointing', and 'after listening to it once, you will never listen to it again' have subsided at some point. Even if you can still see it, the number of people who agree with it has obviously decreased a lot.
Nowadays, the most praised ones are the relatively objective comments from several passerby listeners:
""Spring Day" is a song that I want to listen to again after listening to it."
"The MV for "Spring Day" is art, the lyrics are very touching, and the overall melody is nice and meaningful..."
"Through this song, I discovered that boy groups are not completely incapable of singing lyrically... I don't know about other boy groups, but at least EXO feels pretty good."
Not only did "Spring Day" counterattack in word-of-mouth and reach No. 1 on the daily charts, but it also made EXO's impression in the minds of many passers-by and listeners much better, which is an extremely surprising thing.
Some of the goals and hopes that Lee Soo Man, Ji Kyung Won and SM Entertainment had before choosing this ballad as the title song of "X" have been somewhat achieved.
Although I cannot say that it has been completely achieved, at least it has made a good start.
Also on the 12th, JYP's president Park Jin Young announced his return to the music scene with the digital album "24/34" after a year and seven months, and also participated in the fourth season of the talent show "K-POP STAR" where he serves as a judge.
performed the new song for the first time on stage.
The title song of his comeback this time, "Who's Your Mother?", although the lyrics are a bit sketchy, and it's suspected of being a little yellow song, it's not a serious song, but it's really popular, and it immediately appeared on the rankings of major music sources as soon as it was released.
At the top of the list, MissA's "Only You" climbed to the second position, directly surpassing the number one spot it had just pushed out, and started a competition with No. 1 EXO's "Spring Day" for the top spot.
But when it comes to competition, the data between the two is actually quite different.
This created a very interesting situation. "Spring Day" fell back and surpassed "Only You" to reach the top of the list. Park Jin Young returned to avenge his disciples but stopped at the second place. The top three on the music source list were completely occupied by SM and JYP, with JYP in the two groups.
The scene where all the returning artists were pinned down by EXO caused a lot of discussion, and some media even made special press releases to report on it.
"Originally, it was supposed to be a family war in which JYP artists were ranked first and second, but the scene was usurped by the sudden outbreak of "Haruhi". Looking at the popularity and direction of "Haruhi", it is estimated that it will be difficult to be ranked first in the future.
I might be able to get the weekly crown this week. I won the crown against two JYPs. I really don’t know what JYP’s company’s expression should be.”
"Park Jin Young released a song two weeks after MissA's comeback and directly pushed out his own artist's songs. Doesn't this count as blocking his own artist's path? Isn't there something wrong with him as the president?"
"EXO is really awesome this time. It's incredible that a boy group can overpower MissA and Park Jin Young."
"kkk laughed. JYP's company has really declined too much. The president personally took action. Both groups of artists can't beat any SM boy group. There is really a reason for the low stock price."
“…”
"How come the music results of "Spring Day" are getting better and better... Alas, MissA's seniors were overtaken, and PD Nim's new song only reached second place."
Yu Dingyan looked at the list and comments on his phone, surprised and a little disappointed and said to Lin Nalian sitting next to him.
At this time, the two groups of "Sixteen" were preparing to go to the photographer's place to record the second episode of the program. The nine people in their "bad student group" were crowded in a nanny car, resting and chatting.
.
After hearing her words, several people sitting next to her couldn't help but cast their eyes over.
"...Both groups of artists can't beat any SM boy group..."
Deliberately using a broadcasting voice to read out a press release she saw on her mobile phone, Lin Nalian blinked her eyes and said with a worried look: "Now that I say that, I really feel that our company may be over.
"
"Hahaha, if the room chief hears you, you will be dead."
Yu Dingyan couldn't help but patted her and burst out laughing, and there was a burst of laughter from the side.
You can tell that she is joking, after all, the results of the second and third audio source are actually very good.
However, they all know that JYP is in a bad situation now, but this kind of thing has nothing to do with them as young trainees, and it is not their turn to care.
The car drove for dozens of minutes and soon arrived at the recording location, Zhao Shanxi's studio in JB District.
Under the leadership of the head of the room, more than a dozen girls walked into this photography studio, which was several floors high and covered a large area. After entering, they first met with photographer Zhao Shanxi and the shooting equipment that had been set up on the site.
The staff greeted me respectfully, and then took a brief tour of the photography studio under the leadership of Zhao Shanxi.
"Wow, the seniors from Wonder Girls and 2PM all took great photos."
Before they had taken two steps, their attention was attracted by the pictorials of idol artists hanging in glass frames on the left and right sides of the corridor. They quickly walked over and started talking while pointing at the pictorials.
"There are also seniors from MissA and PD nim. It seems that the seniors from the company have all filmed here."
"And looking at the pictorials from the recent comeback, it turns out they were all taken here."
"This was taken last month..." Zhao Shanxi nodded and responded simply, then she tilted her head and looked at the pictorial of Park Jin Young in front of her and frowned slightly: "This one looks like it now.
There’s something wrong with the lighting…”
Zhao Shanxi is about thirty years old. She wears black-rimmed glasses and has blond hair that sticks to her scalp like dry grass. She looks like an art practitioner. She is a well-known photographer in the industry and is very good at shooting album covers and pictorials.
She has a long-term cooperative relationship with JYP. Most of JYP’s artists’ album covers were photographed by her, including MissA and Park Jin Young who have just returned.
This time, the title of the second issue of "Sixteen" is to test the ability of these female trainees to shoot pictorials. After some communication, JYP simply placed the shooting location directly in her studio, and she was the photographer herself.
.
“Oh Mo, there’s also a pictorial of EXO’s Yuan?”
At this moment, a surprised voice came, and several girls gathered in front of some pictorials not far away and looked at them in surprise. Under the glass frame in front of them was Chi Jingyuan, who had a plain expression and smiled very lightly.
A pictorial shot by Zhang against the light.
Hearing this familiar name, Zhou Ziyu and Ming Jingnan, who were originally following the tour, were stunned for a moment. They quickened their pace and walked over, standing there and looking curiously.
"Oh, that was last year, when Yuan and Suzy were collaborating on "Some", they came to my place to film under the introduction of JYP."
Zhao Shanxi smiled after seeing it, and walked over and glanced at Chi Jingyuan's face, seeming to recall the shooting scene at that time. When introducing it, he couldn't help but praise: "Chi Jingyuan is very good at taking photos.
Many of the photos were taken with great feeling, and we were very comfortable working together. Among so many artists we collaborated with, he left a deep impression on me."
"I like this one very much. Although the appearance is superior, it doesn't stand out too much. It doesn't make people linger on the facial features, but mainly highlights a sense of atmosphere..."
Sensing that these trainees seemed to be very interested, she tilted her head and looked at the pictorial in front of her and gave a brief introduction, but she didn't talk much. After staying for a while, she took the lead to visit some other places.
It didn't take long for the official filming to begin.
Today's session is for two groups to shoot group pictorials of different styles. The major group will shoot first, followed by the poor student group.
"Tzuyu looks like a model."
After taking dozens of photos, the 'poor students' group gathered around the monitor to watch the shooting results. Zhao Shanxi sat on a chair and watched for a while. He couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Zhou Ziyu who was standing behind him, and asked curiously: "
Have you ever been a model?"
Zhou Ziyu was wearing a red fur-brimmed peaked cap, and her dyed brown hair was tied into a side ponytail on the right side of her head. The ponytail was also specially textured to add some fashion sense. The stick was used as a shooting prop before.
She didn't know when the candy was unpacked and she was sucking it happily with her cheeks puffed out. Suddenly she was cueed, which made her stunned for a moment, and then she quickly took the lollipop out of her mouth.
"hey-hey……"
As if sensing the other person's compliment, Zhou Ziyu opened her mouth and revealed two rows of teeth. A pair of lying silkworms were entangled together and trembled. She laughed a little happily, but also a little embarrassed, and her voice was very soft.
He shook his head nervously: "Ani..."
"Haven't you done it?"
Zhao Shanxi glanced at her in surprise, and then pointed to the photo on the monitor: "The expression is well managed, very natural when taking pictures, and when showing his own advantages, he does not stand out from the whole."
"The expressions, eyes, and especially the posture all seem to exude a great feeling from the body. I have grasped the center of gravity. Look at this one, and this one. The effects in many photos are very good. I feel like I have a great shooting experience.
The way..."
After switching several photos and pointing at the monitor, Zhao Shanxi couldn't help but look back. She looked at Zhou Tzuyu with a shy and happy smile because she was praised, and asked repeatedly: "Really?"
Haven’t you ever taken a photo?”
"No……"
After getting the exact same answer, Zhao Shanxi looked Zhou Ziyu up and down and nodded: "That's really good."
A pair of big eyes sparkled with joy, and the unabashed compliment made Zhou Ziyu smile sweetly. After a few seconds, it seemed that something else had occurred to her mind, and the corners of her mouth raised higher.
The other female trainees around were surprised and kept casting their gazes and gazes on Zhou Ziyu. Some were smiling and seemed to be happy for her, and some even though there were cameras operating next to them,
They couldn't hide the surprise on their faces.
Some people even had a bad expression and seemed a little dissatisfied.
Since commenting on the photos just now, Zhao Shanxi has hardly said anything good about anyone. Faced with the female trainee mentioned before, he either gave very ordinary comments, or directly criticized him without politeness, which was very professional.
Strong but not showing any affection.
Unexpectedly, when Zhou Ziyu came here, she looked very appreciative and said things like, "Have you ever been a model?" and "It's really good." Apparently Zhao Shanxi thought the pictorial she took was very good.
Looking at it this way, isn't she steadily promoted to the major group this time and won't she be eliminated?
Not caring about the various glances from around her, Zhou Ziyu put the lollipop into her mouth again and started eating it happily.
happy!
…
"I feel great today! When I was checking the pictorial, the photographer teacher kept praising me. Hehe, I won't be eliminated this time, and maybe I can be promoted to the major group! (laughing)"
After being busy all afternoon and not until the evening, the shooting was completed. After returning to the company, Zhou Ziyu just finished eating. After finding a seat, Zhou Ziyu couldn't help but couldn't wait to take out her mobile phone and sent a message to Chi Jingyuan, sharing her feelings.
Thrilling feelings of joy.
"so good?"
The reply was very quick, I guess Chi Jingyuan was free at this moment.
"Well, what you taught me before was really helpful. The things that the photographer teacher praised me for are all what you said before, thank you." I thought of the recording I listened to many times in the past two days, and what I got when I tested the results today.
Zhou Ziyu's eyes couldn't help but curl up again.
She was really happy today, and her situation and mood were completely different from the previous episode when she was ruthlessly criticized by Park Jin Young and the teacher, looked at with strange eyes by others, and was on the verge of elimination.
I was so happy that I ate too much for dinner just now.
After waiting for a while, the other party responded with two messages in a row:
"Okay, just those few words, if they were so useful, I would have opened a training class to make money a long time ago."
"...The main reason is that you are talented in this area."
'I'm very talented...'
What talents are needed to shoot pictorials?
Body, appearance, temperament, skills and experience.
Zhou Ziyu silently savored this sentence, blinked after understanding it, and after holding it in for a few seconds, he still couldn't hold it back. He burst out laughing, but then he remembered something, his smile faded and he pursed his lips, his expression seemed a little regretful.
Holding the phone in both hands, his fingers tapped quickly on the screen:
"Unfortunately, the room manager said in the afternoon that the company was worried that the footage would be leaked in advance, so we were not allowed to take selfies. Otherwise, I can show you the photos. My look looks great today. Although all the clothes I chose before have been changed, there are still some
I mixed some of them myself, which is a pity. (wink)"
"Well, it's a pity."
Although the reply was very fast, Zhou Ziyu was a little dissatisfied with the apparently perfunctory text and the tone that seemed completely uninterested. She wrinkled her nose and hesitated for a few seconds. After thinking about it, she sent it: "What are you doing?"
?”
After waiting for about a minute this time, she was a little anxious before Chi Jingyuan replied. After clicking on the message, the text above was "shooting the MV", and the following photo instantly came into view.
I saw that Chi Jingyuan was wearing a standard rugby jersey at this time. The number 5 on the jersey, as well as the shoulders and chest held up by the protective gear, looked very conspicuous. The jersey was obviously old and had a lot of dust and
The stains look like they just finished a tough game.
In the photo, he is sitting in a place that looks like a team locker room, looking at the camera with his lips pursed, as if he is a little impatient, but looking at the bloody scar makeup painted on Chi Jingyuan's left face, it matches his forehead and bangs.
With clear sweat stains on his face and a very distressed jersey, Zhou Ziyu was stunned when he looked at it. He felt a sense of impact rushing over his face, and his heartbeat accelerated slightly.
Chi Jingyuan sent a selfie and went over to take a breath, picked up a bottle of mineral water next to him, opened it and took a few sips.
They had been filming the MV and had just entered a short break. Before they had sat down for a while, a text message from Zhou Ziyu came over.
"Can you send unreleased MV makeup photos to outsiders in advance? If you do this, you will be punished by the company..."
Zhou Ziyu's reply was a little slow. She didn't comment on the selfie she just took, but instead expressed some concern.
After seeing it, Chi Jingyuan curled his lips speechlessly, typed a few words and sent:
"You think I'm you?"
After sending it, he hesitated for two seconds. He looked up and saw that the members in front of him who had just gone to the bathroom were walking this way. After thinking about it, he followed another one:
