It's obvious that someone is secretly guiding the trends on the Internet in the past two days. Of course, both SM and Chi Jingyuan have noticed it.
Although Chi Jingyuan seemed to be in a good mood and not affected at all when he was on the phone with Zhou Ziyu, in fact, it was just that he didn't want his affairs to hinder her and coaxed the little girl who cared about him.
Luhan's withdrawal from the team has caused a series of unpleasant effects. Just rehearsing every day has already made Chi Jingyuan quite irritable. Although he doesn't care about these sunspots, they are as disgusting as flies. .
"Revealing the inside story of EXO, was Yuan the one who squeezed Luhan away?"
"SM insiders will tell you about the subtle relationship between EXO members."
These funny posts have been slowly emerging on the Internet since yesterday. In fact, Chi Jingyuan himself is not a character that is easily affected by outside comments. He doesn't really care about passers-by, but after reading them, he wanted to laugh. He was a little annoyed by the ridiculous revelations made out loud, and the fact that fans who originally supported him or exo but didn't know the truth were confused by these half-true and half-false so-called revelations.
Some fans who are younger and have less discerning ability, especially Luhan's fans are now in a state of excitement and out of control emotions and need a venting point. The timing of this group of candidates is really good enough.
I don't know who secretly poured muddy water on him. It might be Luhan. After all, pointing the finger at Chi Jingyuan is good for him. It can make his escape feel more forced and legitimate. sex.
It may also be other economic companies in the industry. The rise of EXO from last year to now has occupied a large share of the peninsula men's group market. I don't know how many people have been blocked. When there was no accident before, I knew that there was no real information to hide it. It's meaningless. Now if something goes wrong, he'll pop out secretly.
There might even be those simple sunspots who just see Chi Jingyuan unhappy and want to make him feel disgusted.
They all have motives and maybe even every aspect is involved.
But now that SM has found out, he has started to carry out intense criticism and public relations. In addition, his fans are also fighting back everywhere.
The loyalty and combat effectiveness of Chi Jingyuan Wei fans really dominate the entire idol circle. These days, fans are like Internet patrol officers at work, patrolling various forums almost 24 hours a day.
As soon as they see such a slanderous post, countless people will rush in with a whistle. In addition to suppressing those negative comments through extremely organized control and review, they will also scold the poster bloody, and finally Didn't forget to give a report.
Moreover, these false posts without any evidence or real evidence will not cause substantial damage to him, that is, they will lower his image in the minds of people who do not know the truth in a short period of time. However, Chi Jingyuan has been in the past two years. The good impression created by passers-by will not be damaged so easily.
Ordinary passers-by just look at it, talk and laugh, and most fans won't care about it. To some extent, it will arouse their anger and desire to protect their idols.
This trick of abusing fans has never been used or needed by EXO before, but now it is just right.
But the most important thing now is to quickly minimize the impact of Luhan's departure from the group, let the heat of this matter pass quickly, and let EXO get back on track.
When this period of time passes, exo will work harder next time they come back to try to recover some of the negative impact of Luhan's departure from the group, and it is not impossible to even go one step further.
I just hope nothing happens again during this period...
…
On July 24, the fourth day after Luhan left the group, "m! 》10th Anniversary Special, m will hold a special concert at the Goyang City Gymnasium to celebrate. Multiple groups of artists will attend and will provide several cover stages for senior groups to perform many sensations in the peninsula music industry in the past ten years. , a familiar hit.
After xo's accident, all their group activities have been suspended. However, this schedule was given to exo-k very early by the company. The theme of this special program is to reflect the development history of the peninsula's music industry. EXO as a modern The only idol group to achieve platinum sales and reopen the million-year sales era occupies a very important position in it, and it is not easy to dismiss.
After discussing with the organizer and having a meeting within SM, the company decided to let exo-k participate in this event as usual. However, Wu Sehun was busy rehearsing for the concert and the original collaboration stage with boa was not It was cancelled, and a regular backup dancer was replaced in his place.
Fortunately, it was Team K. If Team M at the center of the storm had been able to do so, they would have really been pushed away this time.
As for the time wasted in rehearsing the concert, I can only work overtime at night.
This time is also EXO's first public performance stage after Luhan left the group.
"I feel like I haven't eaten enough at noon. How long will it last until now..."
"I don't feel full either. Brother Chenghuan pushed me too fast."
Opening the nanny's car door, the members got out of the car one by one, chatting casually as they got out of the car, complaining that the lunch time was too short.
In order to seize the time, they went to the beauty salon for styling in the morning after practicing for a while at the company. After a short meal, they got into the nanny car and set off here. It took nearly forty minutes on the road to reach their destination.
"The temperature is quite high..."
It was mid-afternoon. Chi Jingyuan, who was the last to get out of the car, had just exposed his head and felt a dazzling sunlight flashing his eyes. He quickly covered his eyes with his hands and looked up at the sky, then turned around and pulled the car door hard.
They had already done their styling but were still wearing their private clothes. After sorting themselves out, they walked from the parking lot towards Goyang Gymnasium under the leadership of their manager, talking quietly as they walked.
Several days have passed since Luhan's incident, and the anger and discomfort in my heart dissipated a lot after a few sleeps. After all, everything will pass with the passage of time.
In the first two days, the team's gloomy and irritable atmosphere was reduced a lot, and it was no longer much different from before during normal times. Now those negative emotions only show up when they work overtime in the practice room at night.
"Ah, I've been delayed most of the afternoon and evening. What time will I have to work overtime tonight?"
Several people walked side by side in twos and threes, and Park Chanyeol sighed.
"It's almost there. Just stay up one day tomorrow and it should be done the day after tomorrow." Jin Junmyeon estimated the workload and progress and comforted him. At the same time, he also pulled out a positive example: "Kyung Soo came back from filming the TV series yesterday. He started practicing right after and hasn’t slept much until now, and he doesn’t even complain that he’s tired…
"Hyung, I'm actually too tired to speak..." Do Kyung-soo, who was walking in front, turned around and looked over after hearing this. The thick dark circles under his eyes were not even covered by several layers of foundation.
"Haha..." Such disrespectful behavior made several people nearby couldn't help laughing.
"You said Luhan left. We worked so hard to rehearse again. If another one leaves after a while, it won't mean we have to start all over again..."
"Don't say that... This is something for the company to consider. We have been a bit overreacted in the past two days."
"Too……"
The group of people walked out of the parking lot and soon arrived at the entrance of the stadium. Chi Jingyuan behind them followed closely while looking at the ground, interjecting a few words from time to time.
Jin Junmian, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped. Chi Jingyuan also quickly stopped the car, looked up at them in confusion, and then followed their gazes to the front.
At the entrance of the gymnasium, on the open space on the opposite right side, hundreds of EXO fans who came to support were standing in the crowd. They gathered together under the blazing sun, holding pictures of each member in their hands. And a specially customized banner with white characters on a black background and the exo logo.
There were several banners with various words of support written on them.
"Fighing! Cheer up."
"Always support exo!"
"Even if there are eleven people left, we are still one."
"we are one!"
These are all because SM did not change exo-k's official schedule. They knew that today k team would perform on stage for the first time after the crisis and they gathered here specially.
No one knew how long they had been waiting. Under the strong sunshine and slightly higher temperature, everyone had sweat on their faces and fanned themselves with their hands.
After seeing the members of the K team coming from the parking lot, they did not burst into enthusiastic screams like before. They just quickly stood on tiptoes after a period of noise and confusion, and vigorously raised the banners and posters high. He stopped and swayed slightly, trying to let Chi Jingyuan and the others see more clearly.
Even though there were no cheers, the silent support seemed even more shocking.
"..." Several members paused when they saw this scene. After a few seconds of silence, they looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
Chi Jingyuan, whose mood has improved a lot recently, also felt an inexplicable astringency in his heart. Looking at the group of fans looking at them expectantly and firmly, he didn't know whether it was moved or moved. heavy.
After several people stopped for a while, under the leadership of Jin Junmian, several people waved to them first, then put their hands together in front of their chests, and bowed gently to express their gratitude as they walked forward. When they were about to enter the stadium, After stopping, the six people turned around and saluted vigorously before walking in.
After walking in, he said hello to the waiting organizer, and walked towards the backstage under the leadership of the other person. On the way, Park Chanyeol thought of the scene just now, and couldn't help but sigh: "Ah jinjia, it's really..."
The others were a little silent. The scene just now touched him a little.
Luhan's withdrawal from the group has indeed had a great negative impact on EXO. The fan base has also been in great turmoil and many people have lost fans. However, this setback has also played a role in washing away fans to a certain extent. The outside world is looking down on it and The turmoil even aroused some fans' rebellious psychology, and they became more supportive of xo than before.
It can only be said that misfortune depends on blessings.
exo-k arrived relatively late. Not long after he sat down in the lounge, he was called to the rehearsal.
Because it is a temporary stadium, the large lounges are still used in various combinations.
After returning from the rehearsal, Li Chenghuan gave a brief explanation and left. Park Chanyeol and Kim Jong-in sat for a while and went to chat with friends. The others were doing their own things inside.
Do Kyung-soo slept on the table. The whole lounge was very noisy but he could fall asleep instantly. His posture was very straight and he didn't dare to move his hair for fear of messing up.
Too lazy to read the news, Chi Jingyuan was about to play games and relax, when his phone suddenly vibrated.
"Look outside the door." He glanced at the content of the message and then looked up at the door of the lounge. Cui Shirley stood there smiling happily and waving to him.
Chi Jingyuan smiled, put away the game console, stood up and walked out. As soon as she walked out of the lounge, she heard Cui Xueli complaining to her: "Why didn't you reply to the text I sent you the day before yesterday?"
fx officially returned on the 7th of this month. After two weeks of singing, it has won six first places. The results are considered very good.
However, this morning SM suddenly announced that this week would be the last singing event for FX's comeback, which surprised many fans.
Because according to idol’s return standard of one song month, fx should have at least two weeks of singing time.
For a while, their fans were talking a lot, and while they were confused, some conspiracy theories also came out.
The results of fx's comeback can now be seen more clearly. The overall results are pretty good. Both sales and YouTube performance are excellent. They are much better than their last album.
This time, the entire album, especially the title song "Red Light", is very popular in overseas markets including Xiaguo, Europe and the United States, and is highly rated by many professional musicians and magazines.
However, unlike the unanimous praise overseas, they have been somewhat frustrated in the peninsula. Many ordinary people on the peninsula obviously do not like their style. This situation has led to mediocre results in the sound source. Thanks to the efforts of fans, the sound source has exploded. Strong, but the stamina seems a bit lacking.
However, in this year's overall decline of second-generation girl groups, FX, also a second-generation girl, has been able to buck the trend and rise, which can be said to be very rare.
Today’s “m! c"'s 10th anniversary. As a popular girl group that has just come back, fx must have been invited.
"I received too many messages from friends in the past two days. They were all crowded together and I didn't see them. When did you send them?" Chi Jingyuan walked to the side, looked at Cui Xueli with a smile, and explained briefly.
"Remember to come back early next time. How can you mix me up with other people? We are close friends, and we are different from ordinary friends."
She bumped Chi Jingyuan lightly with her shoulder. Cui Shirley looked at him and emphasized seriously, then glanced around: "This kind of thing happened to you exo. How are you these two days?"
"Absolutely, it's been a storm these days, and it will probably get better in the future." Chi Jingyuan shrugged, but his expression didn't seem to be affected at all.
At this time, a row of girls came towards me. Chi Jingyuan glanced at the girl group AOA, and Park Cho-a was walking in the front. At this time, they had put on waist-baring stage clothes that were a bit like cheerleaders. It looked like they had just finished the rehearsal. .
When they saw Chi Jingyuan at the door of the lounge, they all smiled and saluted and said hello: "Anihasay..."
While saying hello, several of the women inadvertently glanced at Chi Jingyuan's face, with exploratory eyes clearly curious about him.
"Anihasay..." The two of them returned the favor with a smile. Chi Jingyuan didn't say anything as he watched them enter the lounge. Then he nuzzled Cui Xueli into the space next to him, indicating that it was not good to block the door. , go a little over there.
"Hey, you haven't been doing well these days, and I've been miserable lately," Cui Shirley complained as the two of them moved a few steps aside.
"What's wrong?" Chi Jingyuan was a little surprised. He had never heard of any problems with fx recently, except that it was a bit strange to suddenly announce the end of singing today.
"Previously, a photo of me and my friends playing outside was taken. When the media wanted to expose it a few days ago, the company public relations banned it. Then the director of the department called me over and gave me a hard training."
Cui Xueli looked a little unhappy, and suddenly became less energetic when she mentioned this matter.
"What picture?"
"I just came out of the club once. Who knew there were reporters squatting there so late?" Her expression was not very good, and she seemed to really hate those candid photos.
She punched the paparazzi a few times, as if she had beaten them with her own hands, and then changed her expression: "It's not my fault, and am I such an easy person to teach? When the head of the room was training me, I just said He had a few arguments and then directly expressed his desire to develop more as an actor."
"You said it directly at that time?" Chi Jingyuan was stunned for a moment and looked at her in disbelief.
"My temper is rising. I can't hold it back." Cui Xueli felt his eyes, smiled coquettishly, and lightly hit Chi Jingyuan: "This is my character, you don't know it."
"Guilty, I know."
Chi Jingyuan's mouth twitched and nodded.
He does know that Cui Xueli's personality is not very good, otherwise he wouldn't have had any particularly close friends before.
Even though she later became relatives with Chi Jingyuan, her personality did not change much and she still remained more self-centered. After all, personality and temper cannot be changed by making friends with someone.
At this moment, he also knew why SM suddenly announced that FX would end its singing competition this week.
I also understand a little bit why Bae Zhuhyun and the others debuted so long in advance.
One of the company's two popular girl groups is no longer declining in dominance, and when facing contract renewal, the company needs to give up a lot of profit sharing and provide a lot of resources. The other is even difficult to manage, and some core members have renewed their contracts. It’s hopeless, some even don’t want to be idols anymore.
In addition, because of Wu Saek's incident, SM Entertainment may have anticipated that exo or fx, groups with Xia Guo members, might have trouble, and combined various circumstances, they significantly advanced the debut date of the new girl group overnight. Maybe he wanted to push them out early to let them take over, or maybe he wanted them to block the gun at this time.
"Well, you see I'm so unlucky, am I in a better mood?" At the end of the sentence, Cui Shirley looked at Chi Jingyuan and blinked.
"..." After thinking for a while, he finally figured out the logic of her thinking. Chi Jingyuan didn't know what to say for a moment, so he blinked at her, and the two looked at each other for a few seconds and chuckled together.
At this moment, a few heavy footsteps came, and two figures dressed in weird and hip-hop styles walked over from a distance. The two chatted while walking, and their voices sounded quite familiar.
Chi Jingyuan looked over there following the sound, and couldn't help but narrowed his eyes with a smile. Sure enough, he was an acquaintance.
It was the dynamic duo with whom he had an indissoluble bond last time, Jaeho and Gaeko.
Chi Jingyuan hasn't seen them much since the last SBS incident. He can only hear from them occasionally when chatting with other members.
The dynamic duo also restarted their schedule after recovery. Although they have reduced a lot of cooperation with SBS, because Chi Jingyuan did not take the original matter to heart and simply did not cause trouble for them in the future, there is still a lot of trouble in the Peninsula hip-hop circle. Even though they were quite popular, their way of survival was not cut off.
The two hip-hop seniors who suffered a lot after being punished, especially Jae-ho, also realized that they could not afford to mess with this junior, so they went around him in many events that happened to be on the same stage.
Unexpectedly, they also came to participate in this "m!" c》Special episode, we took another photo of each other here.
The two of them also noticed Chi Jingyuan and Cui Xueli in front of them. Their eyes met in the air. Zaihao couldn't help but stop for a moment. He raised his right hand slightly as if he subconsciously wanted to touch his neck, but he quickly I remembered something and quickly controlled it. I casually scratched the itch and then took my hand back.
It was Chi Jingyuan and Cui Xueli, a man and a woman again, and Jaeho just felt like he was back to last year.
This moment is exactly like that moment.
But after all, they are seniors who have been around for many years. Even if they are very real in hiphop, they are no longer as competitive as young people. The dynamic duo were stunned for a moment, and then they both smiled and took the initiative to talk to Chi Jingyuan. The two said hello.
Jae Hao smiled sincerely, his rough face was full of enthusiasm, and he seemed to bend down slightly to salute. After Chi Jingyuan also smiled and nodded, he walked in as if nothing had happened before. In the lounge.
It's just that his steps are obviously much faster than before.
He kept looking at their backs as they entered until they were blocked by the line of sight before looking away. Chi Jingyuan raised his eyebrows slightly at Cui Xueli, and the two couldn't help but laugh together.
Jae-ho's low profile when they met this time was in huge contrast to his arrogance last year, which made them feel very funny.
If not enough, this also shows the senior's survival wisdom that is admirable in the circle.
I didn't pay attention to him, and after chatting for a while, the two returned to the lounge together. As soon as Chi Jingyuan came in, he felt many eyes looking at him from all directions.
EXO has been the center of the storm in Peninsula entertainment news these days. Today is their first appearance since their birth, so attention is inevitable.
Among them, the most familiar and direct line of sight is from the fx on the left, where Jung Soo-jing is looking.
Chi Jingyuan pursed his lips and winked at her from afar, then said goodbye to Cui Shirley and returned to the EXO team.
"m!" at 6 p.m. c" The 10th anniversary special started on time. The theme this time was to review the hottest hits in the music industry in the past ten years. Basically no one from the idol group performed in front of them performed their own new songs. They were all on cover stages.
From TVXQ's "Hug", Baek Ji Young's "Dergirls' "Tell Me" to BigBang's "Lies" and "Pokémon", kpop classic songs from many years ago are reproduced under the cover of the current idol group. In front of all the audience, the atmosphere at the entire scene was very hot.
exo-k was the second to last performer on stage, second only to boa, the senior sister of the same company who appeared last.
Before the lights came on, Chi Jingyuan and other six members walked to the stage and started to perform their opening poses. The planet fans who had been preparing for a long time started cheering and screaming loudly.
This is their first public stage since their departure from the group. However, a few people were not affected by the turmoil on the Internet. They still showed the style and aura that EXO should have on the stage. The song "overdose" was performed perfectly, and every member of the K team was holding back the fire. As a result, the dance is very energetic, and the stage style and expressiveness are even better than before.
The shouts of the fans below were also extremely loud. It was obvious that some fans were shouting at the top of their lungs and hysterically. Their voices were hoarse but they still kept cheering for them. The uninterrupted cheers seemed to be for them. We need to prove to the outside world that Luhan can leave whenever he wants, and our exo is still the same exo.
The dazzling stage and amazing support also made other audience members pay attention, and they cheered together as they were infected by the atmosphere.
After the stage ended, Team K said goodbye to the staff and followed the manager out of the venue without even watching the final stage. They hurried back to rehearse as soon as possible. They didn't know what time they would have to work overtime tonight.
