"Today is the first time that we and Tou Tuan have appeared on the same singing show at the same time, and the first time they have collided head-on, so today's one is very important. It is difficult to affect the other scores now, but the live SMS voting must be
Do it well, get the first one and slap the fan in the face hard!"
"That's right, the big-character poster that those idiot fans of BigBang posted on the Internet a few days ago to show off their achievements really disgusted me. It was obvious that the music source was slightly better, and the sales volume was crushed by us five or six times, and the result was that it was done every day
It’s as if they have won completely. Stealing fans is really shameless. I must slap them in the face today!”
"I also hope that XO can beat BigBang and get the first place today, but it doesn't feel very stable. I did some calculations and found that "M! countdown" has a high proportion of sound source points. We may be pulled apart a little. We are in sales points.
There must be something wrong with it, but the full sales score of "M!C" is only 1,000 points. If we can't close the gap, it will be really disadvantageous for us. The remaining preference points, social media, and broadcast points are all about half a dozen, I guess.
The competition is really fierce, so on-site voting should be quite important.”
"XO will win! Die for stealing the group!"
At this moment, Chi Jingyuan was scrolling through his mobile phone in the lounge of "M!countdown" the day after tomorrow, watching the mobilization and combat speeches of the Ellie fans in the fan club, which was obviously very active today.
Just as they said, today's Thursday's "M! Countdown" is the first time that EXO and Bigbang, two top boy groups that have been making waves for a long time, have appeared on the same singing show since their return on the same day.
The company itself, the company and the fan groups are not very good at dealing with each other, so today's "M! countdown" also has a strong sense of competition and shopping.
Seeing the tense atmosphere in the fan group, as if whoever loses today will be disbanded, Chi Jingyuan also felt a little helpless.
In fact, both EXO and BigBang no longer attach much importance to singing competition programs. For example, BigBang has so many seniority here since its debut. Due to the company and its own reasons, they have not participated in several singing competitions this time around.
program. EXO has already been a little tired because of winning too many awards. Now that they are returning to singing, the most important thing is promotion and performance. Many members actually don't care whether they can win the award.
But it's different when these two boy bands lose to each other.
Because in addition to the more experienced Kpop fans who are chasing stars every day and know how to read various charts and data, more fans are casual celebrity fans who usually don’t pay that much attention, just listen to music and read the news.
They don't want the former to be able to tell through various data and rankings which group is really popular and which group is the loudest. In fact, it is quite vague and empty. The latter are too lazy to pay attention to these. They like to see something more intuitive.
.
Seeing this data, neither Big Bang nor EXO's expressions changed at all, they clapped and cheered for each other.
Without looking, Chi Jingyuan knew that V.I.P's fan base must be as lively as Aili's.
After hearing this, the members of the two groups also looked over. No matter how harmoniously they smiled on their faces, they definitely wanted to win the other party in their hearts.
"First of all, two groups, Republic and Korea, are candidates for the first place. I would like to ask Big Bang, if they become the first place, what kind of special encore performance will they prepare?" Kim Ki-bum took the microphone and started to ask.
"Ahhh..." As soon as these words came out, Ai Li screamed immediately below, looking very expectant.
"Remember to tear up the admission ticket issued by the company and stick it on the lens of your mobile phone to cover it, otherwise you may be kicked out by the security guards. Taking pictures with your mobile phone is not allowed here."
As if he noticed that the atmosphere of today's singing competition was a little tense, the manager thought for a while and came over to clap his hands. When he saw that the members were all looking towards him, he cleared his throat and said a few words:
"No matter who wins the trophy today, we must remain polite. When the awards are presented at the end, we can just applaud and encourage and smile. Even if we win, we must manage our expressions and not let the outside world criticize us. We are all debuting
You should all understand after such a long time."
"Wow, I'm really looking forward to it... I'm also very curious about what kind of encore ceremony I will see. You must continue to watch... Then let's take a look at the real-time voting situation so far." MC
Li Zhengxin expressed his expectations in a perfunctory manner, and then the conversation turned to SMS voting.
Without even thinking about it, I probably went on a date with a girl to celebrate my birthday alone, but I don’t know when I got a new girlfriend.
…
"-bigbang 37%."
Jin Zhixiu, who was walking beside her, already knew her friend's character very well and was somewhat used to it. However, when she said 'Mommy', she couldn't help but glance at her and curled her lips secretly.
Facing the gazes of several sisters, Kim Ji-soo, who was suddenly cueed, looked to the left and then to the right, remembering the unforgettable experience of working together on advertising at the beginning of the year, and blinked: "
Although he is a complete local, even though he went to school overseas, it still sounds a bit weird to call him "Mommy" instead of "Oh Mom".
"Who knows, it should be fine."
In addition to her good appearance and her skills in photo shoots, the thing that left the deepest impression on Chi Jingyuan was her status as a YG trainee.
Chi Jingyuan looked at this brother and found that although he got up very early today, he looked really good, full of energy and rosy, and his usually small eyes seemed to be a little wider.
A 35-year-old middle-aged man.
In this case, sometimes the stage will look very monotonous and boring. In order to achieve the overall performance effect, we need to start from other aspects, including the coordination of scenery, props, lighting and costumes.
"It's really exciting, T-ara's Ham Eun-jung sunbaenim's solo debut is coming back with a new name called "ELSIE"."
In fact, there was no need to remind everyone, but they still responded together:
"knew."
Several members on one side thought for a while and then spoke one after another, but they didn't look very confident.
Jin Zhini waved her hands with experience: "We are not here to chase stars like the people outside. We are not here to watch EXO and BigBang's seniors compete for the top spot, so this time is just right."
"Of course, haven't I played songs here with GD Oppa before, and I used to come here often to watch the recordings, and I even went backstage twice... But it wasn't through the company, it was through my mommy
I was brought here to tell you that the backstage of "M! countdown" is very small. The corridors and elevators are very narrow, much smaller than those of the other three major stations...
Baekhyun walked over and took a chocolate bar from him, waving his hands with a smile, with a confident and casual look on his face, as if he had traveled back from the future and already knew the result.
Jin Zhini is highly valued by the company because of her family and her own qualities. She already has a lot of resources before she debuts. A few years ago, she also performed a feat for G-Dragon’s solo and appeared on the singing stage, causing quite a stir.
Discussions and normal interactions will naturally make you appear more 'present'.
The nine members of EXO on the left are wearing the same blue school suits, and they look handsome, natural, and full of fresh and energetic boyfriend vibes. The Big Bang on the right each wears something different, with a variety of rivets, iron chains, ripped pants, and colorful hair.
It is also full of hip-hop atmosphere, and one of the eyeballs of TOP Choi Seung-hyun is still green.
The performance of the other party's music source is indeed very good. It has been a week since the two songs "Loser" and "Baebae" still occupy the first and second places. However, EXO's "Love Me Right" has now fallen behind from the previous competition, leaving only
"Orientation Sniper" is firmly in the back, and occasionally competes with "Baebae" for the second position.
A special encore performance is a contract, which means that if you get one, you will do some special performances to thank and give back to the fans.
In the afternoon, several girls dressed in different styles but all exuding beauty and fashion walked into the CJ Center together. Under the familiar guidance of Jin Zhini, they walked towards the performance hall of "M! countdown", and they also talked along the way.
He kept chattering about the situation here, with obvious self-confidence in his tone. Especially after being praised and asked questions, the smile on his face became even better, and a feeling of being surrounded by stars could not help but appear in his heart.
, his round face turned into an oval shape when he grinned.
So someone who didn't care much in the past suddenly became important because of his opponent.
After waiting for a while and not with Big Bang, they laughed and chatted with Jin Qibum. After the time was changed, EXO also walked backstage.
Their luck was really bad. They had a fight between EXO and BigBang to steal all the space and attention. They spent a lot of time singing and dancing on the stage, but in the end there were probably not many people around until the comeback period was over.
Remember what they are called.
And "M!countdown" sometimes has two live interviews with one alternate during the midfield.
Chi Jingyuan also watched BigBang’s stage on the monitor, and to be honest, the design was really unique.
"Well, if our XO wins the first place, we will have the first relay dance." Jin Junmian nodded and looked at the camera.
"We will do a special dance..." Taiyang answered with a smile as he took the phone.
Not necessarily in private.
But speaking of it, he and EXID are quite destined. Before they became popular, he happened to see their road show on the street, which left a deep impression on him. However, after they became popular, there was not much
Just communication.
The program crew also understands very well. From the very beginning of the program, they have exaggerated the atmosphere of competition between the two boy groups, dazzling everyone with all kinds of rainbow farts.
"Hello everyone, we are bigbang."
"Bigbang and EXO, they...come back"
Aili immediately burst into laughter off the court, while V.I.P looked dissatisfied.
As for the others, it's a bit miserable. Chi Jingyuan just took a look at the list of participating guests. Today, there are four or five boy bands who are singing, either they are returning or they have just debuted.
Of course there is no problem with this kind of behavior. Let Chi Jingyuan choose. On his birthday, he will definitely choose a female friend. Who wants to have a dinner with a grown man who lives with him every day?
"Because there is no restroom in the recording studio, artists usually come here. Occasionally, you can see some idols squatting here."
When passing by the bathroom, I slowed down and looked over there a few times, as if I was expecting something. Unfortunately, no one came out for several seconds, so I could only walk over with a little disappointment.
"Onie, do you know this well?"
Although I said before that I might not be selected, we all knew it was just a joke and we came all the way. The TV station also knew very well what the audience wanted to see, so they announced at the beginning of today that one of the candidates was Big Bang and EXO.
“-EXO 63%”
"I came to see him, that's one of the purposes." She didn't mean to hide it at all. Jin Zhini smiled generously: "It was a long time ago. I just met him at the door of the club. I didn't pay much attention at the time.
Look... Ji Soo Onii has worked with Ji Kyung Won, so he should know them well."
Now it seems that YG has done a really good job in this aspect. Even though there are no dance moves at all, the overall effect of the two stages is very eye-catching, at least the atmosphere is raised.
"Bigbang will definitely be pre-recording today. Depending on their pre-recording, they will probably have to queue up early in the morning. Who can come so early? EXO should be doing a live show. If you come early, you can hope to see their rehearsal, but
Watching too many rehearsals is actually quite boring, with perfunctory movements and wearing private clothes... and the rehearsals don’t necessarily allow people to go in."
Chi Jingyuan didn't pay attention. He averted his eyes and followed the members into the backstage.
After shouting that the interview was over, and seeing the camera stop filming and the live broadcast cut away, the smiles of the two groups on the interview stage, especially the members of BigBang, immediately faded. After taking a look at EXO next to them,
He walked directly towards the backstage. Only Li Shengli looked back at Chi Jingyuan, smiled and nodded his head in greeting.
"Is it too late for us to come now?" Lisa looked at the staff walking around and asked in a low voice.
Although BigBang debuted as an idol group, except for dancing in the first few years, in recent years, they no longer have any intense dances during their performances. They only use walking and simple gestures, and sometimes even
Just stand there and sway your body casually, and it’s like dancing.
Although the other party looked very enthusiastic, Chi Jingyuan didn't express much. He quickly arrived at his part, retracted his gaze and walked to the middle position to look at the camera, focusing on the stage performance.
Words like "Like the changes in the earth's crust caused by Mars hitting the earth, the chilling popularity..." directly aroused the enthusiasm of the audience and fans.
Although the contestants on the song show cannot completely show the overall popularity of a group's recent comeback, it can also reflect their performance to a certain extent, so a large number of people like to compare with this.
"I don't know, it seems very close."
Chi Jingyuan took a look while he was not standing in the C seat. Jin Zhixiu and the others over there seemed to have been paying attention to him. When they saw his gaze and looked over, one of the round-faced girls smiled happily.
, his eyes lit up and he stood up and waved to him.
"We are one, Anihasay, we are EXO."
So, those people next to me are also YG trainees.
But the problem is that EXO's title song is "Love Me Right", not "Orientation Sniper".
EXO and Bigbang are facing each other to win the first place. If one company wins, the feedback and evaluation from the outside world and passers-by will be much higher accordingly. Many people who are chasing stars will even judge the two directly by the ownership of the first place.
The outcome of a men's team battle.
After the rehearsal, until "M!countdown" officially started broadcasting at 6 p.m., Chi Jingyuan sat in the lounge playing games and watching the live broadcast on the monitor from time to time. Today's guests did not have any friends he was familiar with, so
Too lazy to go out and visit.
Although EXO and Big Bang have taken away most of the popularity, the idols who are singing today are not all transparent. In addition to EXID who have done very well in their comeback this time, Beast's Jang Hyun Seung, Secret's Jun Hyosung, and Tara
Ham Eun Jung has also performed her own solo, and with the popularity of their team, they have gained considerable popularity and attention.
I just don’t know if my new girlfriend looks like Kim Taeyeon...
"Don't worry, it'll be absolutely fine."
"Wow, please say hello to the top candidates who are competing fiercely for the trophy, Big Bang and EXO..."
"What do you think of today? Is one of you stable?" Jin Junmyeon, who was sitting next to him, suddenly asked while looking at his cell phone. Obviously, he also felt that the atmosphere had become obviously intense today.
"Before appreciating the super stage brought by the two groups, Yuan xi!" Li Zhengxin nodded and said a word before cueing Chi Jingyuan.
Relay dance means that there is no positioning. All members stand in a row and dance their part first. After dancing, they go to the back to stand in line and complete the dance of a song in relay.
With a cheer, the live camera turned to the interview stage in the studio. The two MCs, Kim Kibum and Lee Jung Shin, faced the camera, looked at the two boy bands standing on both sides of them, and read the host words loudly with their scripts in hand.
“The superhero who completely disrupted the music industry in May is back!”
What he said makes sense. Of course you will be unhappy if you lose, but you definitely can't show it. If you win, even if you are happy, the fans will be very happy, but you have to be more modest and not be too arrogant. Bigbang is a senior after all.
, if too much realization will degrade the public’s senses, Peninsula still attaches great importance to the relationship between seniors and juniors.
Kim Junmyeon seems to be a little nervous, as if he has gone back to the time of "Wolf" when he was trying to get the first place.
The fans and audience in the audience cheered immediately, and the screams echoed through the sky.
When the broadcast was almost halfway through, Jin Junmian shouted to him to remind him that business was coming. Chi Jingyuan quickly responded, put away the game console, and walked out with the members.
"Unnie, aren't you here to see Yuan?" Park Caiying looked back at the direction of the bathroom, then turned to Jin Zhini: "I remember you said you had met him in private before? How is he in private? Is he good-looking?
?”
"Ahhhh..."
"What are you worried about? We shouldn't be able to escape."
Because the interview stage was not big, the two boy bands were already connected, looking at the camera with smiles on their faces. There seemed to be no conflicts at all, and they seemed to be getting along very harmoniously with each other.
"What about EXO? Do you have any encore conventions?"
Regarding this situation, both SM, EXO members and even Chi Jingyuan himself were a little surprised. They did not expect that a non-hit song with a light-hearted style could perform so well, and even all the data directly surpassed the title song.
Now it’s time to find out:
"Okay."
Chi Jingyuan's smile did not change, but he secretly sighed in his heart, Big Bang is really great, and the fan base is also very powerful.
Because EXO has participated in so many episodes of "M! countdown" since becoming popular in 2013, their SMS voting rarely falls below 95%.
There were several girls in the crowd who were dressed a little more conspicuously, and they were staring at him non-stop. One of them had a familiar face, but she was too far away to see clearly.
"Because there are seniors playing songs today, the company asked for a ticket, so you can come in directly if the time is not up, but there are so many people queuing at the door today, it's really scary..."
He just took a few members to visit a group of seniors, and he must have been to BigBang's lounge. Although the fans are very uncomfortable with it, and they probably don't like each other in their hearts, at least on the surface when doing the show,
Etiquette and the relationship between seniors and seniors must still be maintained.
This was agreed upon before, and EXO members will introduce the next performers.
Yesterday was Bian Baekhyun's birthday, but there was no special dinner party to celebrate in the evening. He just took a certification photo. After get off work, this guy was laughing and joking. He couldn't wait to say hello, and directly took advantage of the fact that the manager didn't come back. Walked out of the dormitory.
And it is the simplest and most intuitive thing.
This kind of interview doesn't happen every time, it didn't happen in the last two issues, but it suddenly happened in this issue.
Seeing that the atmosphere in the lounge was a little stuffy, Chi Jingyuan took a bag of chocolate bars from the shoulder bag next to him, opened the package, took one and bit it in his mouth, and said in a vague voice: "And start fighting now.
Get up, it will be a shame if we don’t get a substitute by then, and it’s not like we and Big Bang are the only two groups participating today.”
…
After walking a few steps, Chi Jingyuan seemed to feel something and inadvertently glanced at the auditorium on the left.
Chi Jingyuan responded, took the microphone and faced the camera with a smile, said the lines he had memorized before, and then everyone made a gesture together:
Waiting until EXO performed on the penultimate stage, Chi Jingyuan saw the girls again while walking on the stage. The interview stage was a bit far away and they couldn't see clearly, but these people were quite close to the stage.
Yes, after a quick glance, Chi Jingyuan immediately recognized the familiar person. It was Jin Jixiu who he had worked with for a few days on commercials at the beginning of the year.
By the time Big Bang finished their performance, all the artists and guests who had already waited at the backstage exit came on stage together. EXO stood to the left of the MC in the first row, opposite Big Bang who had just finished performing.
Fans have been fighting each other for so long, and the main characters finally collided with each other. This scene is truly a classic.
“Let’s enjoy it together!”
Because BigBang's seniors were the last to appear, and EXO was the second to last, after their stage ended, it was the V.I.P's long-awaited turn for "Baebae" and "Loser."
"Jingyuan, let's go, on-site interview."
At this time, EXO and Big Bang, the two most popular boy groups, stood on both sides of them and began to introduce themselves. Together with more than a dozen MCs, they filled the whole camera.
Although there won't be any real loss if you lose, the fans will really lose face.
However, this is only the data in the middle of the program, and the SMS voting will not end until the end.
"Okay! "M! countdown" in the first week of May, the competition between two popular boy groups Big Bang and EXO, the final result of their duel..."
Jin Qibum held the script and pointed at the camera with excitement on his face:
