While the EXO members are taking time off to work on their own personal information, and the "Goblin" matter on Chi Jingyuan's side is about to be settled, the EXO group's activities are still continuing without any delay.
Except for the pre-recorded "Running Man", SM did not participate in other large-scale outdoor variety shows. Originally, at the invitation of the program team, SM considered letting EXO participate in an episode of the indoor variety show "Knowing Brothers" which has become increasingly popular recently.
", but due to too many things going on recently, I didn't go. After discussing with the program team, I moved it to August or September, before the follow-up album is released.
However, each of the nine members also participated in the recording of several indoor variety shows. In addition, according to EXO's practice, they only need to return to the radio station to manage, plus autograph sessions and some commercial performances, as well as V LIVE broadcasts from time to time, the first comeback period
Week's time is considered to be fully utilized.
As some people joked, with the size of EXO's fans now, even if they post a children's song, they can easily get a place in the song competition show. The quality of the title song of this third album is very good, coupled with the extreme
Attractive and impactful, the style and appearance that make fans ecstatic, the response caused is not as simple as 1 in 1.
The form of the return in the first week can only be described as sweeping in the music source charts such as Gua Bang, the sales list of G Chart, and even spread to the entire music industry. In terms of popularity, except for "Give" which has a fixed audience,
"My Money" can occupy a certain position when releasing music sources, and there is almost no competitor that can compete with it.
In addition to the charts, its influence also exists in all aspects. Less than a week after the song "Miss You" was released, it has already appeared in most restaurants, cafes, schools, and even clubs in Seoul and even the peninsula. This song is so catchy.
The pop ballads from the mouth have gained a lot of love. The melodious and fresh melody is easy to immerse people in, and the tune that can be hummed after listening to it is very helpful in creating an atmosphere.
Many people think that this is the same as EXO's "Spring Day" last year. It is an excellent seasonal song, with warmth and a sense of regret, which is very suitable for single rotation in winter.
Even though it’s summer now…
The dance music attribute of "Monster" is not as outstanding as "Miss" in terms of national popularity, but the style and choreography are even more loved by fans, especially it is loved by many overseas fans. In a short period of time, it has already been posted on YouTube
There were many cover dance videos. Chi Jingyuan's phrase 'You can call me monster!' and the lead dancer's chorus dance were constantly imitated, and the popularity remained high for a while.
In this case, it was soon time to play songs in the second week.
"You can call me monster!"
"Ahh..."
Seeing Chi Jingyuan on the stage striding to the C position and singing the killing part that has become a famous scene, the fans in the audience couldn't help but cheered and shook the cheering sticks in their hands wildly.
Although she has watched all the stage performances last week, and has watched various videos and direct shots on the Internet countless times, every time she comes to this part, looking at Chi Jingyuan in the center of the stage, Ai Li can still be excited.
I felt a strong impact.
Although the song "Monster" has many classic dances and scenes, the part that left the deepest impression is definitely the part of Chi Jingyuan.
After admiring this part with nostalgia, several acquaintances in the audience gathered together and whispered:
"...Have you seen the direct shot of Yuan in the "Music Bank" scene last week? It's super beautiful."
"Of course I've watched it. I've watched it countless times. Yuan's candid shot has been very popular in the past two days. I feel like another candid shot is about to explode."
"Indeed, the black and red costumes and battle-damaged makeup for the singing competition were really to my liking. The direct shot looked like a visual miracle... It seems that this week's singing competition will not use this makeup, which is a pity."
“Everything looks good when it comes to Oppa!”
EXO ended its stage after the fans' enthusiastic support. Recently, there have been no big seniors returning. Their stage is usually arranged at the end, and immediately after the performance, they will enter the award ceremony for the last person.
"Wow, Baek Yayan versus EXO, who is the winner of today's "M! countdown" trophy? Now let's see the final result!"
Jin Qifan took the microphone and quickly announced the final score statistics:
"The music source sales results... the record sales results... the most popular scores... and the final results after calculating the live text voting scores, the one who is honored today is..."
"Baek Yayan's "SO SO" 5300 VS EXO's "monster" 9988."
"Congratulations XO!"
…
"One of the candidates for "Music Bank" today is Twice and EXO. Let's take a look at the trophy."
“Music source sales score: 3583 VS 2878.”
"Audience favorability..."
"Release points..."
“Album Sales Score 45 VS 9987.”
"The final result is..."
"Twice "cheer up" 5005 VS EXO "monster" 13185."
“EXO won today’s winner, Rough Camida!”
…
"In the third week of June, on "Inkigayo", those competing for today's trophy are EXO's "Miss You" and EXO's "Monster."
"..."
"The winner of the first place is "monster", congratulations XO!"
The ribbons floated down from the sky, watching Kim Jun-myeon receive a trophy, and Ji Kyung-won smiling and applauding gently on the stage of "Inkigayo". This week, they were like Mount Tai, winning all the trophies they participated in without any suspense.
I won the first place in the singing program, but the scores for each award were extremely disparate, and I didn’t feel any challenge or competition.
Colleagues in the industry seem to have a tacit understanding. There has been no major return artist in the past two weeks. Those competing with them are even Bai Yayan and Twice, who have released songs very early.
The two JYP artists, Baek Yayan and Twice, seemed to have noticed that the limelight was not right, and the enemy was too powerful to compete with them. They very wisely ended their singing schedule last week. This week, the two groups did not come to sing at all.
Chi Jingyuan and the others who were candidates for the two song competitions this week did not show up at all, but today's "Inkigayo" even featured EXO playing its own two title songs, without even an opponent.
After winning three first-place trophies in a row, Chi Jingyuan felt a little bored for no reason.
Thinking about it this way, the thrilling victory scene in "Fire" seems to be more interesting...
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard the member next to him calling him. Chi Kyung-won came to his senses and quickly took the microphone. After hearing the reminder from Do Kyung-soo next to him, he switched to Chinese and said thank you to the fans: "
Thank you very much to our fans in the Mainland for supporting us..."
And seeing EXO unsurprisingly sweeping the three major channels for a week, fans online were naturally extremely excited:
"Congratulations to XO for winning three first prizes in the first week of singing and taking all the trophies on all three major channels!"
"Look at this comparison of scores. They are all double kills. They are not on the same level at all. This is the top group."
"The comparison between the sales scores of Music Bank and Twice the day before yesterday made me laugh to death. 45 vs. 9987. This should be the most disparate sales score, right?"
"Twice's album sales are very high, but it has been almost two months since the song was released. It is normal that the album cannot be sold now... But EXO's sales are really terrible. Fans have been raising funds every week since the song was released.
I placed a big order this week. It seems that I am a fan of Chi Jingyuan. I placed an order of more than 400,000 yuan at once... Comparing with them, I feel that it was obviously very good in the past. Only the front line can sell hundreds of thousands.
It seems like the sales volume of 200,000 has turned into a very poor performance.”
"Why do I feel like I don't have any strong opponents? Why is it that after so long, one of the candidates is still an artist like Twice who released a song more than a month ago? Why don't I feel that no one is returning recently? After watching it for a long time, there is only one from next week.
SISTAR is still an old girl group that has gone out of fashion. Isn’t summer always the season for comebacks? I remember this time last year, many popular groups came back. There were girl group battles and the like. The music industry was so lively. Why did it become like this this year?
Is it gone? Is Kpop no longer good?"
"Then you have to ask why EXO chose June 9th to come back..."
"Our group is really guilty of heinous crimes!"
…
After finishing the last singing session of the week, Chi Jingyuan had a meal with the group and then returned directly to the company building. After taking a breath and resting, he started a new job.
The reason why this comeback is so busy that I can't even participate in a large-scale variety show. Even the members of EXO and even Chi Kyung-won have no time to meet and get intimate with their father recently. It's because there are many things that are packed in during this period.
Together.
In addition to EXO's busy schedule for the third album comeback, each member also has a lot of personal schedules. Ji Kyung Won, Baek Hyun, Kyung Soo, and Chanyeol are all involved in TV dramas and movies, and they have to spare a lot of time.
Practice seriously for the three concert tours that will be held next month. This is the top priority. The workload is very heavy and cannot be ignored.
In addition, there is also a reissue of the regular third album that is expected to be released in August.
Although fans are eagerly anticipating it, the company has still not announced it to the outside world. However, internally, it has already been confirmed that the third album will be reissued, and the songs have even been prepared a long time ago.
Reprinting is a classic leek-cutting act of picking the title song plus two included songs and putting them into the original album, changing the cover and then changing the style. You can sell it for the price of a regular album without any trouble or too many resources. Ballads
Among the major agencies in the industry, SM is the most accustomed to this trick.
However, EXO's only re-release of the regular album "XOXO" is of really high quality. The re-release of the title song "Roar" alone is worth the price. Almost all the songs in the entire album are very good.
They are all carefully crafted and excellent works, so it is not considered a complete act of cutting leeks.
With EXO's current popularity, this money will not be earned in vain...and it's not that they came up with it on their own initiative, but fans are calling for it every day and looking forward to it.
After many planning meetings, it has been determined that the reissue of EXO's third regular album will be released in mid-to-late August. This reissue is the same as before. The company also did not hesitate and put a lot of effort into it.
This reissue will definitely use the same double-hit format as the original version, one of which will be "LOTTO" composed by LDN Noise, a top production team that has happily cooperated with the company.
The other song was composed by PDOGG Kang Hyo Shin and Ji Kyung Won, with EXO members participating in the lyrics, and was finally named "Blood, Sweat, Tears"
In addition to the double hits, "She's Dreaming", "Can't Bring Me Down" written by Kim Jong Dae, and the LDN Noise rearranged and remixed version of "monster" will also be added to the reissued album.
in.
Although the last three songs are actually a bit filling, the quality of the double hits is really high.
Ji Kyung-won likes both "LOTTO" and "Blood, Sweat and Tears". The song style and melody are of high quality, especially the latter, the choreography is very distinctive... Although Park Chanyeol, Kim Junmyeon and others
The words he wrote looked a little awkward.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! But Kpop songs do not emphasize lyrics. Good lyrics are a bonus, but bad lyrics are not really critical... He gritted his teeth and accepted it.
At this time, they were seizing the time to practice the title song.
"My blood, sweat and tears, my cold breath~"
"Take them all away ahahahah~~~"
…
"call……"
In the stairwell on the fifth floor of the SM building, Chi Jingyuan picked up his petite daughter and pressed her against the wall, with her body and lip lines all pressed together.
Pei Zhuxuan also had her legs wrapped around her father's waist and her arms tightly around his neck. She didn't care about the cold feeling when her skin was in contact with the wall after the clothes were lifted up. She just closed her eyes.
Kiss me selflessly.
Today, EXO finished their schedule in the morning and returned to the company in the afternoon to practice for the concert stage. However, Bae Zhuhyun did not go to filming today, but practiced the dance for their new album with the members of red velvet at the company.
After contacting each other on mobile phones, they knew that the other person happened to be in the company and hit it off immediately. They found a time to go out together with a tacit understanding. When they arrived at the already inexplicably deserted stairwell, they hugged each other naturally.
Ji Jingyuan and Bae Zhuhyun haven't seen each other for more than half a month due to their busy work, and the frequency of texting is not as frequent as before. They have gradually become a habit. After such a long time, their emotional enthusiasm seems to have declined a little, but as soon as they meet, they
It's like being on fire, I'm a little impulsive...and a little greedy...
In the secluded stairwell, there was a vague sound of rustling clothes and the sound of lip lines and water splashing, and occasionally dull humming.
After a while, the movement stopped.
Sensing that Chi Jingyuan lifted up the hem of his clothes again and explored inside, there was something unfinished and he was already a little emotional. Pei Zhuxuan, who was breathing lightly, quickly came back to his senses and patted him angrily: "Let's go."
, Shengwan is still waiting..."
They came out to meet secretly during the break and found an excuse to take Son Seung-wan with them to the coffee shop on the first floor for a drink. At this moment, Son Seung-wan should be waiting for them in the corridor of the red velvet practice room.
both.
But apart from this reason, Bae Zhuhyun was not very used to it after she sobered up, and she didn't really like kissing her boyfriend on such occasions...
It would really not be good if someone suddenly showed up... She is someone who has experienced this, although she was not the protagonist at the time.
"Let's talk about it later in the evening..."
Chi Jingyuan exhaled a little heavily, gently put his father down, then took a step back and quietly admired the young lady adjusting her clothes.
Pei Zhuxuan felt her father's gaze. Although she had experienced it many times before, she was still not used to it. Feeling a little shy, she held her hands behind her back for a long time, but she could not button the tube top, and she was a little anxious.
When I saw Chi Jingyuan not moving at all, still staring at him, I couldn't help but raise my leg and kicked him, and cursed squeamishly:
"Help!"
…………
"Onie, why is your face so red?"
First, he washed his face, tidied his hair and clothes, and then picked up Sun Shengwan, who was waiting without any anxiety. The three of them took the elevator downstairs. In the elevator, Sun Shengwan looked at Bae Zhuhyun, whose lingering lingering charm was still lingering, and she was wearing some dye.
With a red face, he asked casually.
At the same time, she came over specially and felt it was fun. She stretched out her index finger and gently poked Bae Zhuhyun's right cheek. She felt the bounce of the tender face and couldn't help but praise with a smile: "kiyo~"
It seemed that the hand felt very good, and she looked like she was addicted and wanted to poke it twice more. However, Pei Zhuhyun took a step back without leaving any trace, gently smoothed her hair, and replied calmly: "I feel a little hot after practice."
, the air conditioner is not turned on very loudly...don't you think so?"
She seemed very natural, and she immediately asked the question back as if she was the guest.
"It seems...a little bit." Sun Shengwan didn't think much, and nodded when he heard the words, and nodded in agreement, and even fanned himself twice with his hand.
"When I was in the practice room just now, I felt that the air conditioner was turned on too low, but Seulgi has been feeling a little uncomfortable these past two days..." Bae Zhuhyun changed the topic freely and started talking about the trivial matters just now.
Chi Jingyuan stood behind and watched the conversation between the two people, especially Pei Zhuxuan's unchanging expression as he fooled people, and his actions that took the initiative in a flash, and he couldn't help but praise him in his heart.
I always feel that when the little sister is in the red velvet team, and when she is with him in private, there are two different flavors. When the eldest sister is the captain, she has a different kind of charm...
The three people walked out of the elevator and came to the coffee shop. Before it was made public, the coffee shop on the first floor had become a place where many artists and employees of the company would visit. Chi Jingyuan had already been here countless times.
.
There was no one around at this time. The three of them walked to the bar. Pei Zhuxuan took the initiative to stand first and take the order. At the same time, she looked back at Chi Jingyuan: "Or chocolate? Or orange juice?"
"Orange juice." Chi Jingyuan pursed his lips.
There is no need to ask about this hobby of eating and drinking what you like.
"Unnie, what about me?" Sun Shengwan interjected with envy as he looked at the tacit understanding between the two.
"Then what are you drinking?"
"...don't you know?"
"How do I know? What are you drinking?"
"(unhappy)"
"Haha, I know..."
Just when the two of them were flirting and having fun, Chi Jingyuan's cell phone suddenly rang. He took it out and saw that it was Li Chenghuan calling:
"Jingyuan, come back quickly, there are a few urgent temporary meetings that you need to attend."
"Okay, I'll go back now."
Chi Jingyuan immediately responded when he heard the words. At this time, the two people in front, Pei Zhuxuan, also looked back after hearing this. The young lady asked tentatively: "Is there something urgent?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Well, I said there was a meeting." Chi Jingyuan nodded and was ready to leave without waiting for the orange juice to be ready.
"Then go ahead." Pei Zhuxuan was not surprised and waved her hand to urge him, but immediately added: "We will deliver the drinks to your practice room in a while. You can drink it after the meeting."
"good."
…
Chi Jingyuan walked into the conference room and immediately found that the atmosphere was not right. Several familiar brokers, department heads, and even representatives and operating directors did not look very good. Even many senior executives who were present did not keep quiet.
Instead, they gathered together and whispered about something. The combined buzz and the surrounding atmosphere brought a lot of pressure to people.
It suddenly reminded him of the scene when the company called them back for an emergency meeting after Luhan left the team.
Chi Jingyuan didn't say anything after feeling the atmosphere. He and Li Xiuman and the other senior executives bowed lightly and then found a seat and settled down.
Not all EXO members came, only Kim Junmyeon was there. It seems that they were chosen as representatives to attend this meeting.
He and Jin Jun winked and exchanged a few words in a low voice. Not long after Chi Jingyuan came in, everyone arrived. Soon the door was closed with a bang, and the temperature of the entire room seemed to change.
He got serious.
After a few seconds of silence, at Li Xiuman's signal, a room manager stood up. He did not make an opening speech, but directly stated the key points in a deep voice:
"We previously submitted that EXO's concert in China in September...was not approved."
The room manager paused and added in a serious tone:
"In other words, not only EXO, but also all the artists of the company have applied for performances in the mainland after August and September, but none of them have been approved."
