Looking at the mobile phone, there are many fans of Ji Jingyuan himself and EXO on many forums who are spontaneously promoting his new drama.
EXO itself had a lot of attention before debuting on Peninsula, and there were many fans. However, because Team K did not develop smoothly after debuting on Peninsula, it was attracted by fans of senior groups from many companies, as well as boy groups that debuted at the same time. Fans ridiculed him wildly, as the opponent was outnumbered, so EXO fans could only lurk online and silently support their idol.
Although EXO-K's debut was not smooth, the main reasons were due to the style of the title song and the design of the costumes. In fact, the members of the group are very charming. After all, they are a large boy group relaunched by SM after seven years. , every member can be said to be the essence of the company's trainees.
Especially among them is Chi Jingyuan, who is a fan magnet. He alone has raised the number of fans of the entire group to a higher level.
So EXO actually has a lot of die-hard fans. Many fans like them not because of their good songs, but because of their good looks or other personal charms.
This has been proven by the fact that the sales of their first mini-album recently reached nearly 180,000 copies despite their unfavorable debut and being ridiculed by the crowd and receiving no announcements.
This is already a sales volume that most group groups in the peninsula cannot achieve. The current sales volume of the fifth mini album "ALIVE" released by the top boy group Bigbang in March is only 270,000 copies.
Of course, Big Bang or YG's groups are mainly focused on sound source and popularity, not sales.
But it can also explain some problems.
Currently, of all the boy groups that have released albums this year on Peninsula, the only ones with higher sales than EXO are SJ, TVXQ, BIGbang and other top first-line boy groups, and below them is EXO.
However, sales volume is only one of the indicators to evaluate the popularity of a group, not all. Other indicators include music source, national recognition, popularity, YouTube clicks, commercial performance prices, general popularity and other indicators, but they are all incompetent.
But this is also the reason why SM Entertainment is still optimistic about the group EXO even though it is temporarily in cold storage. They can easily attract die-hard fans who are willing to spend money for them. It proves that the unsatisfactory debut was only because of the poor singing, not the poor people.
This time Chi Jingyuan appeared as the leading actor in a TV series, which made fans who had been diving for a long time come up to the surface.
These fans are posting everywhere on major forums, and they are spreading news about Amway Chi Jingyuan, the new drama "Reply 1997" and the group EXO. It can be said that they are very motivated.
Basically during this period, they can be seen in all major forums.
Although this has indeed achieved some publicity effects, it can also easily arouse the resentment of passers-by and fans of other groups. There have been fierce conflicts on many forums.
Chi Jingyuan saw a post on a forum. A member of another group was angered by the propaganda. He made a special post to scold him and EXO, while his fans were frantically defending him below. Several people exchanged words with each other in high intensity. The laning session lasts from night to early morning.
Elsewhere too, the forum wars continue.
The company didn't give any money to the fans, and these fans just generated electricity for their love.
Apart from your parents and family, the fan base is truly a group of people who treat you well without asking for anything in return.
"Jingyuan, what are you looking at?"
Yin Zhiyuan took a small electric fan and walked to Chi Jingyuan to find a stool and sit down.
"Brother Zhiyuan, I'm watching some news."
Chi Jingyuan glanced at the visitor, smiled and said hello.
Yin Zhiyuan also played a major role in "Reply 1997", Daoxuecan, and had many scenes opposite Chi Jingyuan.
This guy is quite interesting in private, a bit childish, and his family situation is very good. When we first met, he seemed to know something about Chi Jingyuan's family background. When Chi Jingyuan bowed and said hello, he was quite kind.
Later, after getting to know each other, I found that their hobbies were somewhat similar. They both liked playing games, and they usually had a lot of fun chatting with each other, so they were relatively familiar with each other.
This brother is already older and has no competitive relationship with Chi Jingyuan, so they get along more casually.
Another main character in the crew, Lee Ho-won's male idol group Infinite has a very obvious competitive relationship with EXO. The two are also male idols, one is the protagonist and the other is the supporting role. It is difficult for them to get acquainted with each other after being on the set together for so many days. That is to say, when we meet and say hello, the smile is still very businesslike.
Unless it's a girl who really attracts his attention, Chi Jingyuan usually won't take the initiative to build relationships with others, nor will he coldly refuse other people's advances. He is a passive socializer.
Unless he really likes or hates someone.
Yin Zhiyuan's facial features are somewhat childish. After using makeup to cover up the wrinkles and slightly yellow skin on his face, he looks very young. This can be seen from the fact that he was born in 1978 and can now play a high school student together with Chi Jingyuan, who was born in 1994.
"Hey Yigu, what's the point of watching the news? There's nothing interesting happening recently. That's what I talk about every day."
Yin Zhiyuan came over and said: "The Monster Hunter 3G you recommended to me last time, I bought one after I went back. It was quite interesting, but it was too difficult."
"Brother Zhiyuan, aren't you a game master?"
Chi Jingyuan looked at him doubtfully.
"Oh, those are all character designs. Is this your first day of debut? The company's promotion will make fans think it's more powerful. Just because you like playing games doesn't mean you're a game master. You also like to play. Are your levels very high? ?."
He waved his hand and looked at Chi Jingyuan with a cute look.
"Well, it's not very good, but it's okay." Chi Jingyuan thought for a while and replied.
"Look, that's it..."
Yin Zhiyuan looked like an experienced person, pointed at Chi Jingyuan, and asked inquiringly: "That hammer is really difficult to use. I got stuck on the second boss."
"Then why don't you just change your weapon?"
"Which one do you think is more useful?"
"If it's useful..."
The two of them took advantage of their rest time to discuss the game unscrupulously without memorizing the lines or understanding the characters.
"What are you so happy talking about?"
Zheng Endi came over from nowhere, his eyes slitted with laughter.
"Why are you here again? Do you know how to play games?"
Chi Jingyuan squinted at her.
"Can't you listen if you don't know how to play?" Zheng Endi broke through in one second and his eyes widened in anger.
"Nai, you don't know how to play and don't deserve to listen. You don't understand a word. Why are you joining in the fun?"
Chi Jingyuan looked over with contempt and nodded.
"Snapped."
Zheng Enchi slapped his thigh directly, making a crisp sound.
"Hiss..." Chi Jingyuan took a breath and rolled his eyes.
The force was controlled really well, the sound was quite loud, but it didn't hurt.
After getting to know this wild girl from the countryside of Busan, she no longer regarded herself as an outsider. She seemed to have brought the character of Cheng Shiyuan she played into reality.
However, Zheng Eunji is also very aware of the situation. She has a good grasp of the scale and can show intimacy without making people feel offended. Everyone in the crew likes her.
This also reflects Zheng Eunji's intelligence. It can only be said that there are reasons for his success.
After a while of fussing, a few people talked about the upcoming TV series, which will be officially broadcast in less than two weeks. In fact, many people on the crew are on tenterhooks.
