"Have you been affected by anything in jyp?"
Because Chi Jingyuan is usually very busy, Zhou Ziyu usually takes the initiative to send messages to the two of them. If the other party sees it and happens to be free, he will reply. If he is working, he may see the reply after a while. Or maybe I was too tired or too late to go back.
It was quite rare for Chi Jingyuan to take the initiative to send a message. Zhou Ziyu was secretly happy when she saw the name of the sender, but what the other party said made her a little confused.
What does it mean to be unaffected even in jyp?
She hesitated for a moment, then quickly tapped the screen to reply without much thought:
"No, what's the impact?"
After sending the message, Zhou Ziyu couldn't help but stare at the phone in a daze. After being quiet for a few seconds, she suddenly remembered something.
My friend Kong Xue seemed to have told her once while eating, saying that several Xia Guo trainees she knew from other companies were not in a very good situation recently. Some of them had a decline in their salary in the company, and some were originally good. Some hoped to enter the debut group but were taken out again, and some were kicked out of the company directly. They either gave up and returned to their country or had no choice but to start over with another company.
And I heard from her that the reason why it is like this now is due to the continuous withdrawal of exo Xiaguo members. Some small companies are worried after seeing the current situation of exo and the fact that SM is also helpless, fearing that it will be difficult to cultivate them. The idol group that was released suddenly had people running away.
They are not a big company like SM. For many small entertainment companies, running an idol group already requires all their energy, connections and resources. Once someone quits, the blow to the group and the company will be unbearable.
At that time, Kong Xue swore to her that the reason why the trainees were implicated was because of the xo people, and he also complained a few words in a somewhat exaggerated and complaining tone. Zhou Ziyu was quite impressed by this, but maybe just now I was a little surprised to see the news about Chi Jingyuan, and I didn't think about that for a moment.
Was he worried about whether I would be affected by this trend?
Suddenly, Zhou Ziyu came to his senses and understood what Chi Jingyuan's text message meant.
The dissatisfaction that I had been holding in my heart because the other party always ignored me suddenly disappeared without a trace, and a warm current suddenly surged from my chest to my mind, hanging on the brows and sticking to the corners of my mouth.
He blinked blinkingly, and his slightly pursed mouth curled up involuntarily, which looked very nice.
She directly picked up her phone and wanted to send another message, saying something like, 'I know what it means' or 'It has no impact, thank you for your concern.' It didn't matter what it was, as long as she could chat with the other party for a while. .
But as soon as she picked up her phone and typed a few words, Chi Jingyuan's reply came over:
"That's enough, I'm going to film."
A very clear and concise sentence showed that the other party was specifically concerned about her current situation.
Seeing this text message, Zhou Ziyu, who was typing quickly with great interest, suddenly stopped, opened his mouth and then rolled back all the words he had just entered.
Zhou Ziyu is very familiar with this format of reply, which means that the other party has started to work. Unless there is something urgent, the other party will not pay attention to anything she sends, or it will take a long time to reply.
She was just a little touched in her heart, but she was a little unwilling to end the communication like this. After hesitating for a while, she entered a few more words and sent it.
"How is Jingyuan Xi doing lately? Are you okay?"
Even though she knew that the other party might not reply at work, she still often checked her phone to see if there was any reply when she took a break after practice in the afternoon, feeling anxious and unable to settle down.
It was not until almost ten o'clock in the evening that Chi Jingyuan's message finally came back:
"That's it."
…………
On November 7, except for Ji Jingyuan, the five members of EXO-K hurriedly got on the plane after attending the Lotte Family concert, and started the flight to Mexico with the team, preparing to go there to participate in the upcoming " Music Bank-Mexico Special".
In order to promote kpop overseas and expand its influence, both the TV station and the artists have done their best. The nearly forty-hour round trip flight alone is really not something that ordinary people can handle, especially for someone like Chi Jingyuan. It is even more torturous for people who are afraid of heights and hate flying.
The key point is that there was no other supporting itinerary when I went to Mexico. I flew for more than ten hours and went to the rehearsal immediately after landing. After recording, I immediately sat back for more than ten hours without any rest time in between.
It’s really hard work.
When they were taking off, Chi Jingyuan, who was absent from the trip because of filming, couldn't help but glance at the ceiling. His sight seemed to penetrate the entire building to the sky, and saw the flight sailing in the sea of clouds.
He sincerely wished the other five members of Team K a safe journey.
I don't know why my mood suddenly improved.
The seventh and eighth episodes of "Misaeng" will also be officially released on November 7th and 8th.
The 20-episode "Wei Sheng" is now almost halfway through, and the plot is now getting better. After a period of hard work, and with the help of the section chief or colleagues, Zhang Kelai has faded away from what he just entered. His youthfulness and confusion in the company have grown significantly, and his talent has gradually emerged when the third sales team is handling work, showing a completely different charm from the first few episodes.
Watching Zhang Kelai, who comes from a poor family, grow up step by step from being shunned and looked down upon by others and out of place in the workplace, it gives the audience an unparalleled sense of empathy, especially for many white-collar workers who have similar experiences.
The ratings figures were quickly calculated. As expected, the ratings of the seventh episode stopped the downward trend of the previous episode and rebounded to 5.6%. The eighth episode reached a new high, reaching 5.9% and starting to hit 6%. mark.
The show has already received such gratifying ratings less than halfway through the broadcast. According to this momentum, it is very likely to break through the 10% figure at the end, which is extremely difficult for cable television stations.
At this time, there is no longer a need for the crew or the leading actors like Chi Jingyuan to work hard for promotion. Netizens who like the drama "Misheng" have all begun to spontaneously get along with others. You can see this everywhere on the Internet. The discussion, popularity and praise of this drama are amazing.
Under this circumstance, the crew naturally worked hard while the iron was hot, as if they had been injected with chicken blood, and the atmosphere during filming every day was very good.
After the five members of Team K finally returned to the peninsula from Mexico after a long journey, without even a day's rest, 10 people from EXO gathered together and flew directly to Neon with the company's team, preparing to start the upcoming three consecutive days. Concert in Fukuoka.
When Chi Jingyuan saw a few people from exo-k listless and wilted on the plane, he felt really lucky. They were all like this after this trip, not to mention if he went there too. said.
The flight from Peninsula to Neon was not that far. They spent an hour or two reading textbooks easily. After getting off the plane, they got on the bus that they had been waiting for for a long time. They returned to the hotel to freshen up before going to the performance. The venues have begun to hold stomping grounds and rehearsals.
After Chi Jingyuan arrived here, he observed it and found that the fans on Neon's side did not seem to be affected by the continuous withdrawal of EXO members from the group. Everything was no different from when they opened the show case in the first half of the year. It was still the same. So enthusiastic.
Maybe it's because Luhan or Tao are not well-known and popular here, or maybe it's for other reasons. It seems to Chi Jingyuan that the fans here seem to be a little more fanatical than the local fans in the peninsula recently.
There were many people waiting to pick them up from the moment they got off the plane, and people followed their bus all the way to the hotel. Before it was time to enter the performance venue, many people had already gathered in a dark and crowded queue. There are three levels of teams inside and three levels outside.
After arriving at the hotel, some overly excited fans tried to rush to Chi Jingyuan and other members to hug them, but were quickly stopped by the assistant who reacted.
Seeing the fans who kept shouting their names at him when they were pulled away, Chi Jingyuan also gained some understanding and feelings for the fans in Neon.
It seems that because SM has officially issued an announcement, Lay, who has already made clear his future path, no longer acts like he was worried and didn't want to communicate with others like he did in the previous period. Now he looks like I have let go of all the baggage in my heart, and I look a lot more energetic, looking like I did when I first debuted.
Although there must be many members who are dissatisfied and resentful about Lay's retirement in name only, after all, they have already expected and prepared themselves mentally, and after all, everyone has been together for several years, and they also failed to debut in EXO. We have been through the bad times together.
The other party should officially return to the mainland of Xia after this month's neon tour. Even though they feel a lot of dissatisfaction, considering that this is also the last group activity of the other party, many members have taken back some of their negative emotions. At least On the surface, everyone has returned to the way they were before. Whether it's in the hotel or during rehearsals, they often joke and laugh, and the atmosphere seems to be good.
Of course, there were a few people who were just dissatisfied with him. They remained cold-faced and refused to participate in the whole conversation, which was obviously a sign of hostility. However, Lay probably understood in his heart and didn't bother to say anything, just pretending that he didn't see it.
On November 11th, the exo neon concert was held at the Fukuoka Marine Exhibition Center. Nearly 15,000 spectators attended the venue. The atmosphere in the entire venue was already very heated before it even started. The noisy and noisy voices seemed to be about to break out. The ceiling exploded.
"Are you happy today?"
After the opening, they sang a few songs and entered the chat session. The 10 EXO members stood in a row at the center of the stage. Chi Jingyuan took the microphone and smiled and greeted the audience.
"Ahhhh..."
The deafening screams made it impossible for him to hear what the audience was saying, but he did feel the enthusiasm clearly.
Just like the Xia Kingdom event, EXO has made a lot of preparations for Neon's concert, including all members learning Japanese at the company's request, and several songs have new Japanese lyrics that will be included in this concert. Performing in public performances.
We went to Xia Guo activities to learn Chinese, and came to Neon activities to learn Japanese. SM did a good job in doing as the locals do.
Although there were Japanese courses before debut, and the company also set relatively strict requirements, after all, it is not the main task and other people do not have Chi Jingyuan’s language talent. Until now, except for Chi Jingyuan, the other members have basically It's just about saying hello in Japanese. At most, you can prepare one or two sentences in advance of what you want to say, memorize the pronunciation and then say it on stage.
Although this kind of stammering and unskilled language may surprise fans and give them the feeling that "Oppas really put their heart and soul into it", it can really make all viewers feel satisfied from the bottom of their hearts and create good impressions and feelings. What gives me a sense of identity is Chi Jingyuan's spoken language that sounds extremely fluent and authentic without any stumbling.
When all the members said hello just now, the audience's reaction was enthusiastic but superficial. It wasn't until Chi Jingyuan introduced himself and EXO in a proficient local language that the audience really became excited.
Because of his highest reputation and popularity, as well as his command of the best local language, Chi Jingyuan is also the protagonist of EXO's neon tour recognized by SM Company. He spoke many words during the concert.
The company's original plan was to arrange for a staff member who was proficient in Japanese to translate the members' words during the chat session during the concert. However, after some discussion and checking Chi Jingyuan's actual Japanese level, the idea was abandoned. He directly handed over the task of translating at the concert to Chi Jingyuan.
So what is a little funny is the scenes that happened in this concert. The members were speaking in Korean, and Chi Jingyuan was holding a microphone and translating at the same time. The neon local audience below were all brightened up and felt very It's novelty.
The most interesting thing is that even though the other members are speaking, most of the fans' eyes are not on them, but always focused on the face of Chi Jingyuan, who is acting as the translator.
I already like him very much, and his authentic and fluent language makes people want to stop talking.
"Thank you very much for your support and love for us exo."
Seeing the countless silver-white cheering sticks spread throughout the venue, shaking in the hands of fans and converging into a brilliant galaxy, Chi Jingyuan was a little excited while holding the microphone, waving loudly and shouting; "
"Please enjoy now."
…………
Not counting the previous SMtown and the relatively short showcase, this is the first time EXO has held a solo concert of their group in Neon. There is a lot of excitement for both the XO members themselves and their fans. and a sense of novelty.
The first Fukuoka tour ended successfully with fans still reluctant to leave. However, Chi Jingyuan and the others did not have much time to rest. The Fukuoka station had to run for three consecutive days. Both physical strength and performance were a big test for them.
While EXO is focusing on its own neon concert, the 2014 Melon Music Awards Ceremony, mma, will also open at 7 pm on November 13 at the Olympic Park Gymnastics Arena in Seoul.
Participating in the mma awards ceremony this time are the group beast, sistar, Akdong musicians, winner, iu, taeyang and so on.
However, all artists under SM Entertainment were absent.
Girls' Generation's comeback this year has dropped significantly because their performance was not as expected. If they don't win the grand prize, they will not come to join in the fun given their qualifications. Moreover, they have just experienced Jessica's crisis and have not gotten over the various disputes about leaving the group. .
EXO couldn't get away from the Neon Tour, and the concert's date coincided with MMA's start time, so they couldn't even find time to attend.
Concerts that have been sold out will not be rescheduled unless there are force majeure factors. Besides, exo in mma has not booked the grand prize this time, let alone coming.
As for Red Velvet...even though they are from SM, their current popularity is not enough to get into MMA, unless they know in advance that they have won the Rookie Award.
It's a pity that there are some outstanding newcomers in 2014. YG's winner won the first place in four days after debuting, which is simply jaw-dropping. The title song "Empty" is also very good in terms of music performance. Red Velvet's debut performance is far away. They are really far behind.
Unless SM works, they are still a bit far away from the Rookie Awards.
Even though popular artists such as IU, Taeyang, and Beast appeared, a considerable number of fans believed that the absence of SM artists meant that this time's MMA was a bit "dark."
It was now the last part of the second half of this MMA, and it was time to award the remaining three awards. All the audience and the artists present were sitting upright, looking nervously and expectantly at the presenters on the stage.
EXO, who did not attend the event, only won one top10 award tonight. They knew in advance that they would win, so Kim Junmyeon and others recorded a vcr to thank the organizers and fans. Chi Kyungyuan did not participate because of filming.
It’s just that the gold content of the top 10 is indeed a bit low, basically it’s there as soon as it comes.
The Internet Popularity Award was given to Beast, and the Album of the Year, one of the just-announced grand awards, was given to the original boy band .d, which returned after nine years.
This senior boy band returned as a complete 5-member team in May this year. They first released a single to commemorate the 15th anniversary of their debut, and then released the comeback album "Chapter 8". At the same time, they launched a series of 15th anniversary concerts. The Seoul performance on July 12 was attended by 70,000 spectators. It became the top trending search topic on the Internet and became an instant hit. It truly demonstrated the shocking influence of a generation of boy bands.
But after all, it is no longer the era of .d. The 2 million, 1.5 million and other miracle sales they once created are also things in the past.
Times have changed. For this year, although .d's comeback has been very loud, the sales of the album "Chapter 8" can only be said to be average. The G-chart sales in one month after the return were only more than 50,000, which is the same as EXO's. There is a wall gap in between.
The measurement of the Album of the Year award is mainly based on the overall sales of the album. Logically speaking, exo has no competitors.
only……
.d was able to win MMA's Best Album of the Year. Apart from EXO not being able to attend, there are probably some other reasons as well.
And now it’s time to award the best song of the year.
Bae Suzy was wearing a long white dress, sitting alone at the edge of the artist's seat. Her slightly curly long hair was draped over her shoulders and she looked very eye-catching with just the right makeup. The cameras in the previous session were all focused on her. We have done several close-ups, each time causing a burst of exclamation from the scene.
No matter what else happens to an idol who can become an actor, his temperament will definitely be superior to that of his peers.
She didn't come with Missa today. She was the only one from the entire group present, and there was no stage performance from the beginning to now. Anyone with a discerning eye could see why she was here for the award.
This year, the song "Some", a collaboration between Ji Kyung Won and Bae Suzy, became an instant hit after it was released in March. In terms of sound source, it completely surpassed Girls' Generation and 2ne1 who returned in those two months, and achieved amazing sound source results. .
Melon has broken the watch 58 times in total, which is the second record since the establishment of Melon and the first record after the revision.
Genie has broken the watch 67 times in total, which is the first record of breaking the watch since the establishment of the Genie list.
melon has been number one for eight weeks, ranked first in the Genie rankings for 730 consecutive hours, and topped the overall ranking (number of online plays plus downloads) in the first half of 2014.
Not to mention other smaller music source lists.
Even half a year later, this song is still on the charts and is still popular. It can often be heard in many stores. It can be said that this love song is popular among the people. Now this song has become the most popular male and female duet song in the peninsula. , not even one.
On the melon comprehensive annual list, "Some" also firmly suppressed Park Hyo-shin's "Wild Flower", which ranked second, and Third Sun's "Eyes, Nose, Mouth".
The gap in the middle is not small. It can be said that "some" has already booked the number one spot on Melon's annual list this year.
As for the song of the year award, the two most competitive songs are "some" and "eyes, nose, and mouth."
At this time, the award guest and singer Yin Shang was reading the award speech on the stage:
"Now we will start awarding the Best Song of the Year Award, one of the major awards. We will select a song that has won the highest award, created a new record, and gained a high support rate."
"It's not about the singer but the name of the song. It doesn't rely on the singer's popularity and branding, nor does it rely on publicity. It's really because of the very good quality of the song that we can win the award."
“First, please see the shortlist.”
Following Yin Shang's signal, the candidate's VCR began to play on the large screen at the back.
""Friday Meet", iu, feat. Zhang Lizheng of history."
"Eye, Nose, Mouth, Sun."
""some", yuan&suzy."
""Wild Flowers", Park Hyo-shin."
"A Midsummer Night's Honey, san e, raina (afterschool)."
By coincidence, the five candidates happened to be in the top five of this year's melon list.
"2014, melon music award for best song..."
Yin Shang looked at the note in his hand and smiled at the camera.
At this time, several candidates below were already nervous. Hip-hop singers sane e and raina sat together and stared at Yin Shang and the big screen on the stage. The results of their cooperation this time were unexpectedly good. , an award like the Grand Prize is an area that these two people have never been involved in before. Naturally, they want it very much if they have the opportunity to win it this time.
Several people next to the winner gathered around the company's senior Sun Yang, holding each other's hands and cheering each other up, as if they were united and determined to win. On the contrary, Taiyang, who had white hair, was sitting there lazily like an old man, showing his demeanor as a senior.
IU and Bae Suzy didn't know whether it was intentional or accidental. The two of them were positioned very far apart, one on the other side and the other on this side. At this time, they were both sitting there in beautiful clothes and looked quite calm. They just had similar looks in their eyes. But it shows that their hearts are not as natural as they appear on the surface.
Especially Pei Xiuzhi, if Chi Jingyuan is watching the live broadcast, it is easy to see her anxiety.
Seeing that the atmosphere was extremely heated, Yin Shang did not hesitate any more this time and directly announced the winner loudly:
"The winner is...yuan&suzy, "some"."
