Since April, two popular boy groups, EXO and Big Bang, have attracted great attention because their comeback dates coincided with each other, causing fans to fiercely fight each other in various places.
The popularity and popularity of the two groups are among the best. Coupled with various reasons, the competition with each other in the battle has greatly boosted a lot of popularity and attracted a large number of people who originally did not care about the two groups.
The passer-by audience captured most of the page during that period.
The four songs of the two groups in May did not disappoint the fans and passers-by. The two groups almost dominated the top four of all music charts for a whole week. In the next week or two, even though EXO’s main song
The song "Love Me Right" fell behind, but "Orientation Sniper", an amazing hit song, suddenly emerged and was firmly locked in the top three of the music source. It was not until two or three weeks later that the ranking began to slowly fall down.
At the same time, due to the large amount of attention and the enthusiastic disagreement between the fans of the two groups, many interesting memes and some very classic pictures and animations were produced. During the two-week comeback period, some very interesting pictures appeared almost every day.
It's an interesting topic that makes people interested when they see it, and it's so lively that people can't take their eyes away.
It was the first time that two boy groups collided on a show. After EXO won the first place, Choi Seunghyun's expression has already become popular and has become a classic expression that can be seen everywhere in many forums. Even though it has been seen countless times, every time I see it,
The subtle changes in his expression, the stiff twitching of the corners of his mouth twice before forcing out a smile, still make people laugh.
It is really a lively scene that has not been seen in the music industry for a long time.
Even though EXO and BigBang's comeback period in May was very short. They only returned for two weeks and were busy with concerts. There were only a few songs in total, but they still brought joy to the audience.
There have been several popular stages, as well as exciting fights and fights.
"Every day, those mushy groups are the most boring. They have to be torn apart like this to look good. Especially the top-level groups tearing each other apart are the most interesting..."
This is the truest feeling in the hearts of many viewers who experienced those two weeks.
After experiencing a short golden period in the music industry in May, most people have raised their expectations for the two boy bands to collide again in June.
And more importantly, there was actually no winner between the two boy groups in May. The popularity and discussion were about the same. EXO's sales were overwhelming, and there were slightly more people singing. Although the music source was not popular,
But I have followed closely.
In the other half, BigBang has one less number, but it is ahead in terms of MV clicks on YouTube. It has a huge popularity among the public and has a very obvious advantage in music sources. "Loser" did not fall down from the first place on the melon chart from the time it was announced until the end.
After that, he directly won the Melon championship for two weeks.
Generally speaking, both men's groups have advantages in their respective fields. Except for the extremely obvious gap in sales, there are winners and losers in several other categories. Overall, they are evenly matched.
Although the fans on both sides made statistics, made rankings, controlled reviews, and even discredited the other side, the game between them was very exciting, but the lack of a real winner made many people feel that something was missing, even the fans themselves.
I feel that my full enthusiasm has not been fully vented.
That's why people are even more looking forward to this June debut, because they all know that this is the last of EXO's four single albums, and there will be no chance for them to continue playing in the future.
So no matter what, this time the success or failure must be determined.
So at noon on the 25th, when SM Entertainment released EXO’s first promotional poster and the title song, the news immediately became one of the hot searches, and the entry for EXO’s support # ranked high in the top two.
bit, which caused a lot of discussion.
In fact, the song title "Boy with Luv" is no longer a secret, because Chi Jingyuan and the others performed a preview stage at the first concert. After the song ended, the song title has been circulated on the Internet, and even the "
The lyrics and melody of "oh mymymy'" have also been posted online, and many fans can already sing it.
But the part that was just exposed was already very catchy, and this seemingly unrevealed look made many fans and passers-by feel itchy in their hearts.
In the publicity poster, the nine members of EXO are wearing light-colored suits and sitting on a sofa. Four are sitting in front and five are standing behind. There are no exaggerated expressions or movements, and the hair color is relatively ordinary.
Revealing too much information. Even if you sit neatly or stand there, looking at the camera with a sunny smile, but combined with the movements and expressions, the entire pictorial is rendered in a warmer tone, but it looks...
People feel very comfortable.
At the bottom of the pictorial is printed EXO's LOGO, the song title "boy with Luv", and the date 6.1.
"Still totally handsome! XO will definitely make a big comeback this time, I really can't wait."
"After watching the concert, I was very optimistic about "Boy with Luv". The chorus part is really nice. This time the results will definitely be better than last time. The main thing is to see if I can suppress the band stealing."
"Is the Obamas' comeback this time with a brand new style completely different from the last "Love Me Right"? I'm so looking forward to it!! I won't talk about the handsome promotional pictures, and it looks really great. Pre-order
When will the window open? I wonder if there will be single seals.”
"SM has stated at the back that pre-orders for "L" will be open at midnight on the 26th. I also wanted to buy Yuan's single cover, but it seems to be out of stock this time. I guess I have to wait until the official release in July. I cursed like this
The autograph session that Kuya has never held is probably going to have to wait until then. Although I like XO very much, it’s really disgusting that I still scold SM for the sake of better sales figures for the official album.”
"SM has already released EXO's trailer, but what about BigBang's? YG should come out quickly! The popularity has been taken away!"
The comments under the official account are constantly refreshing. From the jumping numbers and active comments, we can clearly feel people's enthusiasm for EXO's comeback.
It can only be said that the foundation laid by the previous consecutive comebacks is indeed very good. In addition to sweeping away last year's decline, it also reversed many people's impressions of EXO and improved some of their sound source reputation in the eyes of the public. Many people who don't care much about it have also
In the eyes of Kpop, or ordinary listeners who don't like boy bands, they are now just like Big Bang, no longer like most other ordinary boy bands, they have become a new special existence.
After experiencing several recent comebacks this year, regardless of whether they are anti-fans or not, the general public will basically no longer compare the boy groups that debuted at the same time with EXO. Although they are all third-generation boy groups, due to various aspects
The data are completely different from each other, and the popularity and momentum are also very different, so they subconsciously think that these third-generation groups and EXO are no longer on the same track.
Nowadays, people are comparing them to the previous generation’s summit or TOP group.
While fans were enthusiastically discussing who is the most handsome in this comeback pictorial, discussing how to raise funds, and discussing how good the new songs are, and other passers-by were also calling on YG to release the BigBang trailer quickly, Chi Kyung-won was also there on the afternoon of the 26th.
We arrived at the venue arranged by the organizer of the "Baeksang Arts Awards" and prepared before the opening.
…
"I feel that work is not ordered by your head, but should be guided by your heart. The original intention of variety shows should not be to pursue success, but to pursue a heart-pounding feeling."
“The initial and ultimate purpose should be to ‘bring people happiness’…
Listening to Luo Yingshi, who was sitting in front of him and talking about his variety show concept, Chi Jingyuan, although he didn't understand what he heard, still nodded in agreement.
It is the afternoon of May 26th, and Chi Kyung-won is in the banquet hall of a hotel near Kyung Hee University in order to participate in the "Baeksang Arts Awards" to be held tonight.
Awards ceremonies such as "Baeksang" will have a red carpet. Before the red carpet starts, the organizer will often arrange a place nearby and gather many guests in advance, mainly to arrange the order and unify it later.
Arrange a vehicle to show up at the ceremony to start the red carpet session.
In addition to this purpose, this place and time is also a convenient place for many people in the industry to socialize. After all, all the people present are guests who are eligible to participate in "Baeksang" tonight, as well as some from the organizer and JTBC
The staff, many of whom are senior executives.
After Chi Jingyuan arrived, he habitually greeted a few acquaintances and seniors in the industry. As soon as he found a seat to sit down, he found Luo Yingshi, a well-known variety show director in the entertainment industry, sitting there.
After seeing him at the side, I took the initiative to wave and call Chi Jingyuan over. The other party seemed to be very chatty or interested in him. After saying hello and chatting for a few words, he asked about his current situation and then started to transfer.
On top of the topic of variety shows.
Na Young-seok is considered to be the most popular variety show director in the entertainment industry in the past two years. He was already very famous as the producer of the national program "Two Days and One Night" when he was at KBS. In 2013, he resigned and switched to CJ EM. After joining tvN, he has repeatedly
It has reached a new high, and the "Fantasy Series" it has launched successively has been very successful. In terms of variety show PD, it can be regarded as the top one on the peninsula.
Not even one.
He seems to be a bit arrogant, but when he talks about his job, he knows exactly what he is doing.
"But even though I say that, the thing that helps me the most is 'luck'." After speaking, Luo Yingshi laughed at himself and sighed with some reserve: "I am still relatively casual when I work."
"PDnim is too self-effacing. Being able to get lucky many times is of course based on personal strength..."
Chi Jingyuan also smiled and praised, but there was some slander in his heart:
If I hadn't known that you were a candidate for the Grand Prize in the TV category of "Baeksang" today, I would have believed it.
He was a little surprised at the other party's enthusiasm at first, because although he had met the other party before, he didn't have much communication with him and was not very familiar with him. However, after chatting for a while, he found out that Na Yingshi also graduated from Yonsei University.
His senior, and it seems that for some special reasons, he usually pays close attention to him and is very optimistic about him.
Although I don't know why, given that the other party can be so enthusiastic and talkative, Chi Jingyuan will certainly not refuse.
"Have Jing Yuan watched the "Flowers" series?" Luo Yingshi ended the topic of his variety show concept with some hesitation, but then he changed the subject and asked again.
"Have seen a little bit."
Chi Jingyuan nodded.
The other party said that the series "Grandpas Over Flowers", "Sisters Over Flowers" and "Youth Over Flowers" he has launched in the past two years have achieved good ratings and popularity, and they are one of the more prominent variety shows in the past two years.
What he said is correct, he has indeed only seen a little bit.
"At the time of "Youth Over Flowers", we actually wanted to invite you to be one of the guests, but the invitation sent to SM was rejected by your company..."
Luo Yingshi seemed a little regretful when talking about this, and then looked at Chi Jingyuan and said seriously: "I have watched some variety shows you participated in. Although there are not many scenes, it is still easy for you to just sit there and do business.
Become the center of conversation and jokes..."
"And from the perspective of the audience, every time after you briefly appear on the scene, when the scene shifts to other EXO members or MCs, they will actually have some wonderful expectations for your next appearance or speech. I just want to see it.
The feeling when you appear in the camera... you don't speak much during the whole process but you have a strong sense of presence. This quality is really rare in variety shows."
After saying that, he smiled: "And I found that Jingyuan, you don't perform very well every time you go on variety shows. Although you are very good in succession, you don't say much overall. Is it arranged by your company, or are you just not good at it?
I like these so much... I guess it's the latter, right?"
"It's a little bit." Chi Jingyuan didn't deny it. After thinking for a while, he nodded: "It's okay for people who are close to me. If you are not very familiar with me, you will be a little uncomfortable communicating, especially in front of the camera."
"Indeed, you can see it." Hearing this, Luo Yingshi showed a clear expression: "But this trait of yours is so precious. I have actually been paying attention to you for a long time, and I have always wanted to find an opportunity to cooperate with you. More than
The kind that comes as a guest on a flight..."
The other party's enthusiasm and sincere praise made Chi Jingyuan feel a little embarrassed. He quickly bowed lightly to express his gratitude, and then showed a kind smile, looking very expectant: "Kang Sangmida,
I'm really honored that PDnim can say this. If you have the chance, you must remember me."
"Haha, of course, there will be." Luo Yingshi also laughed.
I don’t know if it was just a scene or if I was really serious, but overall the atmosphere was very good, and Chi Jingyuan and Luo Yingshi got to know each other a lot.
Chi Jingyuan chatted with Na Yingshi for a long time before he bowed and left. After walking a few steps, he saw Park Shin Hye not far away who had also just finished chatting with an actor. After seeing him, she smiled and said
He waved, and Chi Jingyuan smiled when he saw this and walked over.
"Why do I feel like I haven't seen you for a while? Nuna has matured a lot. Did you take on any challenging roles recently?"
"Yeah, isn't it a bit too much for you to say that? Are you saying I'm old?"
Although they didn't meet much in private after "The Heirs", the contact has never been broken. Especially with Park Shin Hye's dedicated closeness, the relationship between Ji Kyung Won and her has always been quite good.
He is one of the few familiar friends in the film and television industry.
Not long ago, in order to support him, the other party was very generous and just went to see their first concert of EXO. He also took a certified photo and posted it on his SNS. At that time, Chi Jingyuan also expressed his gratitude.
Chatted for a while.
"How do you feel, Nuna? Are you very hopeful today?" After a few pleasantries with a smile, Chi Jingyuan asked casually.
Today Park Shin Hye is here as a nominee for "Best Popular Actress" in the film category.
In addition to her success last year in "Pinocchio," which was about the same period as "Misaeng," she also starred in the period film "Shang Hospital," which was released at the end of the year.
It's a pity that this movie failed at the box office and had a mediocre reputation. By the time it was released, the number of box office attendances had not exceeded 1 million. It was considered a tragic failure for her to enter the film industry.
However, this does not affect her popularity. The foundation laid by "The Heirs" still exists. Last year's "Pinocchio" was also very popular, so Park Shin Hye is still one of the most famous actresses of the younger generation.
"I'm wearing this dress today, what do you think?" As if sensing the malice in Chi Jingyuan's heart, Park Shin Hye glanced at him angrily, lowered her head and gestured to her exquisite long skirt, with a casual expression but full of confidence on her face.
.
She has won the Female Actor Popularity Award several times in a row, and few people can compete with her.
It just feels a bit weird to receive the Popularity Award for a movie project when the movie is a huge hit at the box office...
After laughing and chatting for a while, we parted ways. After all, we are already acquaintances and just saying hello is enough. For actresses like Park Shin Hye, normal social interactions are still very important.
After saying hello to several senior actors, Chi Kyung-won met another idol who was an acquaintance, Kim Seol-hyun of AOA.
Kim Seol-hyun's resources are quite good, and she is the best among the entire AOA group. Last year, she starred in the movie "Gangnam 1970" with Lee Min-ho and was nominated for the best new actor.
It seems that because they are both idols who have switched careers as actors, or because they have known each other before, or for some other reason, Kim Seol Hyun seemed a little happy when she saw Chi Kyung Won, and took the initiative to come over and talk for a while.
Idol actors themselves are not favored in the film and television industry, and are also disliked and disliked by many actors who come in to grab resources, so the situation has not been very good, and companies like FNC do not have many resources in film and television, so she
You can imagine some of the treatment you encounter.
Kim Seol-hyun wore very beautiful makeup today, and she was wearing a light pink patterned long skirt that showed off her figure very well. When she sat there with her legs stacked diagonally, the lines of her waist, hips and chest were immediately outlined, adding to her figure.
Her face still looks a bit innocent under the delicate makeup, which is really pleasing to the eye.
She obviously knows her advantages very well.
After glancing at her with appreciative eyes, Chi Jingyuan also sat there and started chatting with her. Kim Seol-hyun, who had just entered the film and television industry, was obviously looking forward to today's award. Maybe she wanted to win the Newcomer Award.
My career as an actor is easier, and I guess dressing up so beautifully is because I want to show my face on the big stage of "Baeksang", which is a normal thought.
It's just that Chi Kyung-won took the time to look at some of the award nominations given to him by the company for this year's "Baeksang". The competition for the female newcomer award in the film category is very fierce, and Kim Seol-hyun didn't perform much in "Gangnam 1970"
Excellent, especially since he is an idol.
Forget it, it doesn’t matter whether you get the prize or not, as long as it looks beautiful.
After talking for a while, she rubbed her right leg together and sat up from the sofa with her chest raised and her buttocks raised. After covering her chest and waving her hands to say goodbye, she held up her skirt with some lingering thoughts and swung it in a charming way.
Say goodbye and leave.
Not long after Jin Xuexuan left, Chi Jingyuan turned his attention back to himself. He was a little tired from social chatting with several colleagues. When he was about to take out his mobile phone to check the time, a black figure stepped from the side.
He took a step closer and walked over slowly.
Judging from the timing of her arrival, she had obviously been observing for a while.
Hearing the noise, Chi Jingyuan raised his head and moved his eyes from bottom to top. The first thing that caught his eye was a pair of blue round-toe stiletto thick-soled high heels. The dark red nail polish looked very conspicuous, and it was just above the curve of the calf.
The black patterned hollow long skirt, the pure black background and the looming white skin complement each other. With an excellent waist-to-hip ratio, I feel a subtle sense of sultry in my heart before I even see the face.
Above, a head of long black hair, the right end of the hair is pushed behind the ear, completely revealing the outline of the ear. Jung Soo-jing, who has natural makeup but is careful and careful, is blinking and smiling, talking to Chi Jing
After meeting Yuan's eyes, she gently pursed her lower lips and spoke calmly:
