"Oh oh oh..."
Following Yin Zhongxin's introduction, several members nearby began to applaud vigorously, cheering and cheering, and the camera also gave a close-up of Chi Jingyuan at the right time.
He first twitched the corners of his mouth, then smiled and nodded towards the camera.
Even if you have read the script before, these titles sound really awkward.
"Why doesn't Yuan have any personal skills? Don't all artists who are about to debut prepare several personal skills to show their abilities, increase their broadcast share and attract fans at the same time?"
Just after introducing Jin Jiura, he immediately questioned him and stared at Chi Jingyuan with a look of 'you are not dedicated'.
"Well... because I joined xo for a short time at that time, I didn't have much time to prepare for the practice of making a debut."
Chi Jingyuan briefly explained, and finally added: "And I really don't have any special personal skills. I feel like I don't have any talent in this area."
"Don't your company's teachers have requirements? This kind of thing should have been mastered during the trainee period, right?" Yin Zhongxin looked over suspiciously.
"Originally, there was a teacher in the practice room who asked Yuan to think of a skill to prepare for, but then Teacher Li Xiuman thought about it and gave up after saying something."
Park Chanyeol next to him answered.
"What are you talking about?" several MCs asked curiously.
"He said..." Park Chanyeol raised his eyes and thought for a moment, then looked at each other and smacked his lips with several other members: "Yuan doesn't need those things anymore, he is the best person wherever he goes. Skills."
As soon as the words came out, several other MCs and members looked at him speechlessly, while Chi Jingyuan covered his eyes with his hands and smiled reluctantly.
They weren't making this up, Lee Soo Man actually said that at that time.
"Hey Yigu, is that really what you said?"
"Gui, we were all present at that time." The member sighed. They all nodded in approval.
"I remember that Teacher Lee Soo Man said something similar to Heechul before, and I was also there at the time." Jo Kyuhyun also sighed, feeling the same thing.
"So, does the 'Lee Soo Man's favorite' written in Yuan's profile refer to this?" Kim Kura interjected at this time,
"It should mean that Teacher Li Xiuman really likes and likes Yuan." Jin Junmian nodded and replied.
"How much do you like it?"
Several members pondered for a few seconds and thought, and then spoke one after another as if they were counting Chi Jingyuan's crimes:
"I like that before our XO debuted, we would check on his practice progress every few days."
"I like her so much that Yuan won't be angry at all even if he smashes the door of SM."
“I like it so much that even after debuting, people still come to our practice room to chat every now and then.
"If you like it, you can go to the maknae's office anytime."
“Really or not, can Yuan go to Lee Soo Man’s office at any time?”
"Heechul doesn't even get this kind of treatment..."
Several MCs were a little stunned when they heard each other's words. Finally, Kyungsoo sighed: "I like her so much that I treat her differently, and I don't even hide it."
After hearing this, several people became interested. Yin Zhongxin pointed at him and said repeatedly: "What kind of differential treatment is it? Let's demonstrate it to us."
"Inside."
Everyone's attention was focused. Do Kyungsu nodded and stood up. He walked to the side and pointed at himself: "Now I will play the role of Teacher Li Xiuman. I happened to meet the members of XO at the company. When they met, Say hello to me.”
As he spoke, he imitated Lee Soo Man, holding his hands behind his back, holding his head high and walking slowly towards the K team with great momentum. Several other members also stood up in cooperation. Kim Jun Myeon and Kim Jun Myeon who were standing in front Park Chanyeol and the others immediately bowed their heads and saluted: "Anihasay, Teacher Lee Soo Man nim."
"Well..." Do Kyungxiu nodded lightly, and without moving his mouth, he made a muffled sound from his throat, and slowly walked past the bowing people, with a slight smile on his plain face. He glanced sideways slightly and then turned back, pretending to lift the non-existent glasses frame on the bridge of his nose with his index finger.
"..." Seeing this scene, several people around them couldn't help but smile. The XO members who were acting lowered their heads and trembled slightly, holding it in.
"Hey Yigu..."
At this time, Do Kyungsu, who had just raised his eyes, turned around and saw Chi Jingyuan who was also saluting behind him. A kind and kind smile immediately appeared on his face, his eyes narrowed to a slit and he quickly walked to the side of Chi Jingyuan and stretched out his arms. She patted his shoulder affectionately and imitated Li Xiuman's voice and tone: "Jingyuan, how are you practicing recently? XO has a lot of schedule during this period, right? You sent it to me last time I watched that demo, it was really good..."
"Hahaha..." The members finally stopped holding back and stood up laughing. Chi Kyung-won stood up with a helpless smile and slapped Do Kyung-soo's hand back.
"This is too different. Is that really the case?"
"Do you value it so much? This is no longer an ordinary superior-subordinate relationship."
"Hahaha……"
The MCs also laughed out loud, and after they finished laughing, they started questioning, as if they didn’t quite believe it.
"Oh, it is indeed true, and more than once. If you don't believe me, you asked Yuan." The members sighed at the same time, lowering their heads and looking very frustrated because of the different treatment. Jin Junmian pursed his lips at Chi Jingyuan. , signaling for him to speak for himself.
"Yuna, is it true?" Yin Zhongxin stared at him.
"..." Chi Jingyuan just kept his head down and suppressed laughter. Feeling that everyone was looking at him, he finally couldn't hold back his laughter and nodded at the same time: "Gui, that's about it."
"Ah jinjia."
I really didn’t expect it to be like this…”
"Kyuhyun, have you SJ ever encountered this kind of situation?" Kim Kura asked curiously
"Occasionally, it happens, but the difference is not so exaggerated." Jo Kyuhyun also looked at Ji Kyung Won in surprise: "I feel like Teacher Lee Soo Man went too far, it was too obvious."
"unacceptable."
"That's right." Upon hearing this, the other EXO members immediately nodded in agreement, with faces filled with hatred and hatred, and issued an angry accusation to Lee Soo Man.
"What's that boring thing about?"
Jin Jiura observed for a long time and spoke again: "You mean Yuan is usually a very boring person? I watched for a long time and found that his expression did not change much in front of the camera, and he had no personal skills or anything to show. Then what would you say?" What?"
"Actually, I know a lot of things. I usually..." Chi Jingyuan, who was cueed, smiled and was about to improve his image, but was interrupted before he finished speaking.
"He'll goof off and fish."
"Can play games."
“Good taste of food.”
"I will be angry with my brothers and say things that will make me feel burdened after hearing them."
Before Chi Jingyuan could open his mouth to defend himself, several people around him ruthlessly exposed him word by word.
"..." He glanced at the few members next to him with a worry-free expression, but their teammate Chi Jingyuan's sharp eyes paid no attention to them and talked about his habits with a playful smile.
"Yin and Yang are strange? What do you mean? What did he say?" Jin Guozhen looked curious.
"Well, let's give you an example." Jin Junmian thought for a while, organized his words and then began to tell: "Don't we often have overseas trips, so we frequently go to and from the airport, and there will be reporters and fans at the airport. We take photos, so we prepare airport fashion carefully every time.”
"Indeed." The host nodded.
"For airport fashion, many of us will prepare well before going to the airport, put on makeup and so on, but Yuan basically goes without makeup every time and puts on a hat. Fans also like his look very much. It looks good like this."
"Inside."
"Because sometimes the flight is too early and I don't have time to put on makeup in order to rest for a while, so like the maknae, I just go without makeup and put on a hat. I look in the mirror and think I look good."
"He is very good-looking. Although I have never seen him without makeup, Suho is a famous handsome man."
"That's right." MC nodded in confirmation.
"But after doing it twice, the maknae suddenly said something to me in private. He said..." Jin Jun hesitated for a moment, then began to imitate Chi Jingyuan's expression and tone, shrugged and said to He looked at the camera and blinked: "Brother, how about... I'd better get up earlier next time."
"Ah ha ha……"
"Hahaha, it's obviously suggesting that Suho should get up early to put on makeup. This is saying that you look ugly without makeup."
"Ah jinjia, is this a venomous tongue? It's a younger brother's venomous tongue towards his elder brother!"
Jin Junmian nodded with a heavy face, sighed and looked helpless and shocked, while Chi Jingyuan turned his head away, laughing hard.
"So Yuan is such a person, it doesn't sound boring." Jin Jiura stared at Chi Jingyuan in surprise, smacking his lips in disbelief.
"Nai, actually after getting to know him, the maknae has a very interesting personality in private, and it's fun to get along with him."
Park Chanyeol explained to Chi Jingyuan at this time: "He doesn't talk much when he gets along with people he doesn't know very well, and he is just very polite."
"Ah? That Yuan is very polite to me?" At this time, Jo Kyuhyun suddenly interjected, pointing at himself with a surprised expression.
"That means I'm not familiar with you. Didn't you hear what Chanye said?"
"Hahaha, Kyuhyun thought he was very familiar with me, but it turned out..."
"Is it just an ordinary senior-senior relationship?"
The other three MCs burst into laughter instantly and became angry without hesitation. The XO members opposite also lowered their heads and suppressed their laughter.
"Jingyuan, are you really not familiar with me at all?" Jo Kyuhyun opened his mouth and looked at Chi Jingyuan with both frustration and expectation.
"Ani, of course I'm familiar with him. Mainly because I really admire the achievements of SJ's seniors." Chi Jingyuan quickly waved his hand and explained with a sincere look on his face.
Even if I'm not familiar with it, I can't say it on the show in front of the camera.
"I'll just say it." Jo Kyuhyun nodded proudly as if he had been comforted.
Chi Jingyuan's share of introduction was almost enough. Then, under MC's constant questioning, several members of Team K said a lot of interesting things in private.
This variety show uses a talk show format to explore the personalities and interesting stories of the guests. Sometimes the questions asked are really difficult to answer. For example, in the episode of Girls’ Generation, several MCs’ very straightforward and sharp love questions made those Several sisters couldn't keep their smiles.
However, the publicity effect is indeed quite good, after all, the whole program is very gimmicky.
Generally speaking, XO's stories are half-truths and half-false. They are adapted from some real things that happened, so that the told plot can better display their characters and images, attracting the love of passers-by and fans.
The total duration of the program is one hour, which does not mean that it only takes one hour to record. Normally, the amount of recording required will be much longer than this time. Later, after a lot of editing by the program team, some dialogues and jokes that are not funny and have no gimmicks will be Cut it off and leave the essence of the last hour to show off.
There were two breaks during the recording. The MC and the guests all ate something to replenish energy and drank a few sips of coffee to refresh themselves. After all, it was already two or three in the middle of the night.
After sitting back in the studio and chatting for a while, we entered the final stage.
"This question is really dangerous, and it is also a question that fans are very curious about." Yoon Jongxin looked at the script and glanced at the XO members who were already a little tired: "From the 'Love Era' to EXO, now in XO Are any members in a relationship?"
"What are you talking about? Hyung, I can't tell you even if I'm in love..." Jo Kyuhyun looked at him speechlessly. How could a boy band say such a thing in a variety show?
Several members of EXO kept smiling and did not speak.
This is a fatal question. It is inappropriate to answer it or not. It is best to remain silent.
"That's right, let's change the question. Among the female idols in XO, who is the most popular? I count 321. Each member points to a person in your mind... Don't talk nonsense, Kyuhyun has inside information. ." Yin Zhongxin tapped his fingers a few times.
"Nay, yes, I have information here." Jo Kyuhyun nodded and looked around proudly.
"Ready, 3, 2, 1."
After MC's countdown, all six members of Team K immediately pointed their fingers at the person in their hearts.
Chi Jingyuan is referring to Park Chanyeol. This guy is a well-deserved female idol social butterfly in his heart. He has people he knows in almost every group.
But he didn't expect that the other five people all pointed at him in unison, which made Chi Jingyuan look surprised. He pointed at himself with the other hand and scanned his eyes to ask if they were pointing to the wrong person.
But the eyes of Jin Junmian, Wu Shixun and others responded that they were not wrong at all, they were referring to you, Chi Jingyuan.
Having many friends and being popular are two different concepts. Who among XO is the most eye-catching among the female idols has a strong balance in their hearts.
"OK, the results have been obtained internally within EXO. All five people chose Yuan, which is what everyone expected!" Yoon Jong Shin applauded and looked at Jo Kyuhyun: "Kyuhyun, is this result certified?"
"Certified!" Jo Kyuhyun nodded vigorously: "Yuan must have not escaped in this regard. Some of our SJ relatives have asked me about Yuan. Many idol artists in the industry want to know him. He is really popular. OK, but..."
"but what?"
"But many people in the circle have said that it is not easy to get Yuan's contact information, and sometimes if you are not familiar with it, even if you get the contact information and you send him a message, he will not reply. At most, he will not reply. Just saying hello.”
"Isn't this a bit rude? After all, sending a message is already a very proactive behavior." The MC next to him frowned.
"Is this true for Yuan?" Yin Zhongxin looked at Chi Jingyuan: "Why don't you reply? He is so popular."
"Well, Brother Kyuhyun is exaggerating a bit. In fact, there aren't many people left."
Chi Jingyuan smiled helplessly, and then frowned: "Mainly because I don't mean it myself. If I reply too enthusiastically, it may cause the other party to have some misunderstandings, and if I reply too coldly, it will make the other party sad, so I just …”
"So you won't reply?"
"I feel like it would be more appropriate to simply not reply." Chi Jingyuan nodded and explained in a logical manner. If Wu Shixun and the others next to him didn't hold back their smiles and try to keep their composure, they would have been very persuasive.
"We have a statistic here. MBC's "Music Center" voted anonymously among 50 female idols to select 'the male idol you most want to date.' EXO's maknae Yuan ranked first with a big advantage. The popularity is really not exaggerated.”
Yin Zhongxin took out a board and announced enthusiastically, with a ranking drawn on it. Chi Jingyuan's headshot was hung at the top position, and the lower rankings were all covered and not opened.
"Brother, where are we?" Park Chanyeol looked at the rankings and asked curiously, and the other members also looked over.
This kind of thing can easily arouse men's competitive mentality.
"We only have information about the top three here, and there are no other XO members except Yuan who is number one." Jin Jiura told the truth, shattering several people's illusions at once.
"Alas." The five people lowered their heads at the same time and sighed,
"So Yuanxi, given that you are so popular, what is your ideal type?" Several MCs all looked at Chi Jingyuan's face with bright eyes.
"It's Senior Li Yingai." Chi Jingyuan answered with a smile, calmly and calmly. He had encountered this problem countless times.
"Ah, although senior Lee Young-ae is really charming, let's not talk about the official answer of this kind of company teacher. It is really perfunctory. Yuan-ah, hyung is also from SM company and has been taught." Kyuhyun laughed angrily when he heard this, patted the table and glared at Chi Jingyuan.
"Yeah, that's the last question, please be sincere."
"That's right, let's not talk about what the company teaches you. Yuanxi, among all the female idols you have come into contact with now, is there anyone who is your ideal type? The one you really like?"
As the last question came out, all the attention in the studio was drawn to Chi Jingyuan, not only the MC who was recording, but also some of the staff outside the venue.
Chi Jingyuan pursed his lips, seeming a little embarrassed. He raised his eyes and thought for a few seconds, then slowly said, "No," amidst the curious and expectant eyes of the people around him.
His voice was calm and no longer casual, and he didn't seem to be lying.
"well……"
Before the person next to him could sigh, he continued to explain: "It's true that I have never encountered it before."
Seeing his sincerity and serious expression, others took it seriously. Jin Jiura frowned and asked: "There are so many beautiful and charming female idols, but you can't find an ideal type? So what is your ideal type?" of?"
"Um……"
After pondering for a moment, Chi Jingyuan seemed a little unsure. After thinking about it, he hesitated for a moment, and then answered in a way that seemed to resolve the confusion and look forward to:
"At least...have some of the same hobbies."
…………
You can't see darkness or dawn in the basement. After EXO-K finished recording, he said goodbye to the program staff and the four MCs and returned to the parking lot. After driving out of MBC in the nanny car, he realized that it was already dawn.
Except for those few cues that brought up his own problems, Chi Jingyuan still didn't speak much at other times. He would occasionally add a few words of support, living up to his title of 'variety show smiling specimen'.
“target="_bnk">o/html/5714/>
But tonight he does carry a lot of weight. After all, he is the most popular member and is also very topical. The writers of the program team designed a lot of plots about Chi Jingyuan when preparing the script in advance, and the MC also appeared from time to time during the recording. will take the initiative to cue him.
The whole night's hard work was not in vain. When communicating with the program team after the recording, the PD said that the effect of this program was very good. Coupled with EXO's own popularity and popularity, it should be able to achieve a considerable level after the broadcast. discussion,
This special episode of "Golden Fishing Ground" EXO-K is scheduled to be broadcast on May 28, which is almost the last week of their return to singing. It can just catch up with the promotion period and give some final push to the mini-2. Not bad.
After today, Team K has ended its first week of returning to play songs. The two songs "overdose" and "ineedu" are becoming more and more popular due to continuous publicity.
Next is a week to officially participate in the selection of singers. However, the focus of EXO's activities next week will have to shift to concerts. There are several singing shows that they are unable to attend, but there has not been any strong competition recently. Even if the opponent cannot be present, it should not have much impact on the acquisition of one player.
At 1 p.m. on May 19, with the refresh of G-chart sales, EXO's second mini-album "overdose" officially exceeded one million copies in sales. It once again became a hot topic of discussion on the Internet and became the object of sighs and envy in the industry.
Following the regular album "xoxo" in 2013, EXO has had albums with sales exceeding one million for two consecutive years. It has become the ceiling among all artist groups in the peninsula and a real sales monster.
Moreover, "Overdose" is only a mini album. According to the usual experience in the music industry, mini albums generally have lower sales than regular albums due to reasons such as fewer songs and insufficient album configuration.
But EXO still sold over one million.
Moreover, their sales volume is inconsistent, and they are far behind the second place.
As of May 19, the second best album sales list in 2014 is Girls' Generation's "", which is still at less than 180,000 copies and is still slowly moving forward.
The boy band is B1A4, who returned in January of this year. Their regular second album "Whoami" sold 120,000 copies.
120,000 copies is really a good result. However, minus 20,000 copies from their sales volume, multiplied by ten, it is exactly EXO’s sales volume.
Completely broken.
But there are also many people who have a lot of opinions on this, because SM has a lot of tricks, and every EXO album is divided into many versions, such as Korean version, Xiawen version and so on. The final statistics are the data of all versions added together. That's why it looks so exaggerated.
And some people think this is unfair. Isn't it equivalent to releasing several albums if you divide it into so many versions?
In fact, there is some truth in what they said. If calculated based on individual versions, the sales volume of EXO's current second mini album in Korean and Chinese versions is almost 6:4. Although it is enough, it still does not reach one million. degree.
The same is true for the "xoxo" album. The sum of the various versions will reach a figure of nearly 1.5 million.
It can be said that EXO has not had a single album that has sold more than one million copies so far, so many people have been unconvinced and feel that SM's album sales calculation method is simply a foul play.
Chi Jingyuan also saw this statement from time to time on the Internet, but there was no need to defend it. In fact, he thought it was quite right.
I just hope that when XO's album can sell more than one million copies of a single version, then their mouths can be shut.
After Team K had been active all night long, Team M flew back to the peninsula on the night of the 20th. The two groups of people they hadn’t seen for a long time took a picture in the dormitory. The six members of Team M who had just returned and were in the living room were The six members of Team K, who were casually chatting and watching TV, looked at each other, and a feeling of unfamiliarity arose spontaneously.
This is a drawback of team activities. The tacit understanding and affection between members will be weakened to a certain extent if they are not seen for a period of time.
However, they didn't have time to worry about this. They reduced a lot of activities the next day and focused all their energy on the upcoming concert on the 23rd and the last two days of rehearsals before the opening.
However, it may be that the atmosphere in the team is not very good, and the members are very tired from so many days of activities and training. On the night of the 22nd, captain Jin Junmyeon specially held a party to celebrate his birthday and at the same time I also want all the members to get together and have some fun, and then cheer up for EXO’s first concert that will start tomorrow.
