As soon as the news of BigBang's comeback came out, the Internet immediately became lively. Whether it was YG's official account or various music forums, everything was in an uproar. Everywhere you looked, you could see Aili and VIP quarreling with each other and even taunting and yelling at each other. The insulting posts, coupled with fans from other families fanning the flames, made various entertainment sections become very exciting for a while.
It's been a long time since I've seen such an intense and large-scale fan feud.
Fans of EXO and BigBang have feuded with each other for a long time because of G-Dragon's dissing "pork sharing" incident at the Mama Awards ceremony at the end of last year, which involved XO.
Hatred in the fandom has always been easy to form and difficult to resolve. Many conflicts and dissatisfactions often arise from trivial matters, but they can last for several years or even more than ten years and last forever.
This time, BigBang suddenly revealed the news of their comeback. What is most surprising and dissatisfying to fans is that the comeback mode of the two groups is exactly the same, and the two return periods overlap for three months. During this period, a situation of tit-for-tat against wheat awn was formed in an instant. This time it was like a powder keg being ignited. Needless to say, the two sides naturally became enemies of life and death at that moment.
They were already very hostile and very angry with each other, but now that this situation has arisen, it is difficult to get off the ground. In the end, if one of the two groups loses, both the group and the fans will really be unable to hold their heads high.
At least that's the case online.
However, seeing how busy the Internet is, SM and YG are somewhat happy to see the success. Whether it is SM or YG, the two companies are very confident about the return of their exo and bigbang. This kind of popularity comes out of nowhere. Not for nothing, it even seems to be adding fuel to the flames.
EXO's comeback last month was already a big hit, and all the data have improved a lot. The subsequent albums have also been carefully produced and a lot of resources have been invested, especially the last "L". All very optimistic.
YG, on the other hand, is very confident about the quality of the mainstay Big Bang's third regular album. They are confident that the results and influence this time will definitely meet expectations.
It can only be said that both sides are very confident, but when the time comes, one party will inevitably become a clown.
I just don’t know who it is.
…………
Because we have to get up early tomorrow to go to M to pre-record the comeback stage, EXO got off work very early today, and they all returned to the dormitory before eleven o'clock.
But it was impossible to sleep so early. A group of people were sitting on the sofa in the living room with the TV on, talking about some online reviews of "Spring Day".
Being ranked number one on the real-time rankings was expected, and the members themselves know how powerful xo’s fans are.
Reviews were mixed, with many expressing disappointment and dissatisfaction that they had expected before.
Sound source performance depends on two aspects, explosiveness and stamina.
Under the rules of existing music source websites, boy groups with huge fans and fans who are keen on charting and doing statistics are very advantageous. When they first release a song, their sound source bursts out very loudly, and they can often land in the top spot. Or clear the list for the entire specialty.
However, it is limited to the audience and passers-by's favorability. Most of the boy band's songs will fall into the dilemma of insufficient stamina after a short two-day burst. The ranking of the songs will drop very quickly, even within a day. The situation of flying off the list can be seen everywhere.
For example, since EXO became popular in 2013, basically as long as they release songs, they will wash up the charts. However, this kind of explosion of popularity can only last a few days at most. After all, fans are not robots who will be there every day. The lack of popularity among the public and the emphasis on dance-oriented songs meant that the rankings of subsequent songs would fall very quickly. Neither "Mama" nor "Wolf" were included in the annual charts. "Addicted" had a frightening explosion when it was first released. The ranking on the list is only over thirty.
As for the ballads in the two winter specials, "December Miracle" and "Let It Be" were released at the end of December, they were not included in the annual charts because the accumulation time was too short. The popularity dropped rapidly in the second year, resulting in an unsatisfactory ranking.
So far, excluding "Some", it is the best song in EXO's music source. It has excellent explosiveness and stamina. The only title song that ranks at the top of the inner circle in the annual charts is "Pao Xiao".
It can only be said that the public in Peninsula still has a lot of bad opinions about boy bands. Many people will not click on the songs released by the boy groups at all, just like some viewers who see idol actors. After starring in it, I will feel that this drama is terrible and has no acting skills, and I will not watch it at all. This is all from the bottom of my heart.
The reason why the title song of "X" was chosen as the lyrical song "Spring Day" this time is because SM Company, including Lee Soo Man, Ji Kyung Won, and several other producers and department heads, were very interested in this song. The songs are relatively promising, and some people want to use this song to improve the general audience's prejudice against boy bands or exo's music, increase their music reputation, and make up for exo's shortcomings in sound sources.
It can be regarded as an expectation or an experiment.
It’s just not clear whether it can be done. Judging from the current situation on the first day of releasing songs, it may indeed be difficult.
The TV was on but no one was watching it. Park Chanyeol and Oh Sehun walked out while chatting and found a seat to sit down.
"What took you so long?" Bian Baoxian glanced at the two of them and asked casually out of curiosity.
The two of them had just gone to the balcony to answer the phone together, and they didn't know what they said before they came out for a long time.
As the time since their debut gets longer and longer, EXO members have become more and more mature, and each of them has made great progress in their relationship. Even if they are not as ambiguous as some members or have female lovers one after another, they have not been separated. Yes, but at least they already have a crush or someone they want to date, and they often make some relatively private phone calls at night, and at this time, the balcony of the dormitory is the best place.
The new dormitory has two balconies, one large and one small. The large one is connected to the master bedroom of Chi Jingyuan and the others, and the small one is outside Park Chanyeol's dormitory. Many times, these two places are very popular at night.
If you can't get it, you have to go to the toilet and make a phone call.
"Nothing, just introduce me to a friend." Park Chanyeol replied with a smile and raised an eyebrow to several people, without saying anything.
Chi Jingyuan and others understood instantly that either there was another female artist who liked Wu Shixun and asked him to introduce her, or Wu Shixun liked someone else and asked him to get her contact information.
Too common.
Chi Jingyuan smacked his lips and glanced at the two people. Just when he was about to say something, his phone suddenly vibrated. When he took it out and looked at it, he was stunned for a moment and his eyes were a little straight.
"I love you, Saranghei."
Sender: Zheng Eunji.
After receiving such a message inexplicably, a strong sense of absurdity immediately emerged in his mind. Chi Jingyuan couldn't tell whether Zheng Endi was insane or showing his true feelings.
Just when he was a little surprised, Zheng Endi's phone call suddenly came over. Chi Jingyuan blinked, stood up and walked towards the balcony. Ignoring a few smiling glances from behind, he went to the balcony and closed the door. The call was answered.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
"Hahaha……"
As soon as it was connected, a hearty and bold laughter came instantly. Even if it was not turned on, Chi Jingyuan felt that it might be heard in the living room if the door was not closed.
"Haha, have you been deceived? Are you shocked?" Zheng Endi spoke in a loud voice, and her crow-like laughter could be heard throughout the balcony. Her tone was as cheerful as if she was mocking her face to face: " Hahaha... not talking? You must have been fooled! Hahaha, do you know what day today is? Today is April Fool's Day. It turns out that you, Chi Jingyuan, will also have such a day!"
The laughter was all mixed with wanton pride, joy, refreshing and other emotions. This arrogant attitude made Chi Jingyuan feel a little angry in his heart. He just couldn't see Zheng Endi looking so proud.
Because he was indeed a little deceived just now.
Moreover, it was not only her voice on the phone, but also the laughter of other women. It seemed that she was calling herself in front of her own members.
Apink returned to the popularity last year and held its first solo tour at the beginning of this year. After that, it released a Japanese single and has been active in Neon since then. Chi Jingyuan had never met this relative, but they called each other from time to time to keep in touch. But he didn't expect that he would suddenly come to him like this today.
Zheng Enji was a little annoyed by his arrogant arrogance, "April Fool's Day?" ' Hearing this word, Chi Jingyuan forcibly suppressed his thoughts of scolding her, secretly took a deep breath, and then made a look of emotion and aftertaste, his tone was very sincere, with a hint of relief. Replied: "So it's April Fool's Day... I thought you finally said what was in your heart... It seems I misunderstood."
"jinjia?"
"Onie turned out to be making excuses and speaking from his heart."
Hearing Chi Jingyuan's words, the other girls who were laughing just now immediately changed their tone and asked Zheng Endi in surprise.
"Ani, this bitch Chi Jingyuan is talking nonsense." Zheng Endi was a little anxious when he heard it, and quickly waved his hands to explain: "He was obviously upset by us just now, so he made up lies to deceive us. …”
"But why is your face red, Ernie?" came a confused and innocent voice, just like a child.
The voice sounded like Wu Xiarong.
"I...Axi, Chi Jingyuan, ah!"
The arrogance and pride just now disappeared in an instant. Zheng Endi's voice sounded a little anxious.
"Hahaha……"
As if thinking of the way she danced, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help laughing happily. Even the intonation and pauses of his voice were exactly the same as Zheng Endi's smile just now.
"Axi..."
"Ha ha."
After a while of making noise on April Fool's Day, Zheng Eunji returned to his lively state and began to chant:
"Hey Yigu, I feel like your comeback "Spring Day" is going to be a big hit. We all watched the time at Neon. The song is very nice and totally my style, and the MV is really cool. , and the scene of your turtleneck sweater sitting by the window is so pretentious, it made me sick to death... But our two maknae both screamed when we watched it today, and even joked that it was your meal. Woolen cloth……"
"not kidding!"
Before Zheng Eunji finished speaking, a voice next to her interrupted her immediately. Chi Jingyuan couldn't tell whether it belonged to Wu Xiarong or Jin Nanzhu.
Speaking of which, the two youngest members of Apink were introduced by Jung Eunji last year. Ji Kyungwon had dinner with them twice and exchanged contact information. However, they may have met because they were not familiar with each other or for some other reason. Sometimes I'm not very open-minded, but I don't want to be private but I'm quite lively.
"Uh, thank you..." Chi Jingyuan first said thank you because he was said to be his fan.
Artists often talk about who they are as fans of so and so when they appear on shows, but basically everyone knows that they are either giving each other face, or just to rub off on each other or make a fuss about the popularity, and they really don't treat other artists as fans.
And even less so in private. After all, we are all colleagues in the industry and everyone cares about face. As far as Chi Jingyuan knows, from the past few years to now, he has been said to be his fan on many occasions. Apart from Apink's maknae, the only one he knows is Wu Saike.
Speaking of which, I don’t know how Wu is doing lately...
Then he smacked his lips, but his tone was not very exciting: "The results on the first day can only be said to be just okay. I don't know if it's a big success or not. Anyway, there are quite a lot of people scolding me."
"I feel it's definitely possible. "Spring Day" is a really good song. It's not an ordinary lyrical song..." Zheng Endi seriously discussed the merits and style of "Spring Day" with Chi Jingyuan and encouraged him. After talking about it for a while, he changed his subject and his tone became narrow again: "By the way, the song "Spring Day" is quite touching, but the feelings expressed in the lyrics sound a bit vague."
"Na Eun and Nam Joo think it's about love, a song written for their exes. Oh Ha Young and I think it's about friendship and youth. We've been fighting about it for a long time. Aren't you the creator and producer? Come on. Tell me what its theme is about?”
"Love, as soon as you hear it, you will know that "Spring Day" is a song written for the ex-girlfriend."
"Why didn't I catch it? The MV made it clear in the end that it was about youth..."
Before Zheng Endi finished speaking, two voices began to argue without showing any signs of weakness. However, they were quickly stopped by a serious voice, "Stop arguing!" and they quickly became quiet.
"Um……"
Chi Jingyuan hesitated for two seconds, lying on the balcony railing, looking at the dots of light in the distance: "It should be... it should be both, maybe a little more towards the back."
"Tch, it's ambiguous who are you taking care of there..."
Zheng Endi's tone was a little disdainful, as if he had seen through Chi Jingyuan's thoughts. He said a few words impatiently and then said goodbye: "I wish you all the best to return to Dafa. Okay, let's not talk anymore. I want to take advantage of April Fool's Day." Go play with the others, come back to find you for dinner, hang up."
After hanging up the phone, Chi Jingyuan laughed twice and opened the balcony door and returned to the living room. When Jin Zhongren saw that the seat was vacant, he immediately got up from the sofa and passed by Chi Jingyuan. He patted his back to signal and left. When we got to the balcony and closed the door, it seemed that we were a little anxious waiting.
Sitting on the sofa again, after listening to a few words, I found that the topic of the members had changed from worrying about whether the sound source of "Spring Day" could be a counterattack, to which of the female guests Park Chanyeol met when recording "I'm In Love Alone" was more beautiful, and then It also extends to the topic of who is more attractive, high-quality amateurs or some female idols.
It's really because the last comeback of "e" was so successful. Now that EXO has arrived, I feel a little relaxed. Not many people are worried about the results and tomorrow's first stage.
It's so lax...
Chi Jingyuan complained a few words in his heart. After listening for a while, he couldn't help but add a few words to express his opinions.
Let’s talk about what happens next.
…………
"Did you go to see the Missa seniors' showcase a few days ago?"
"I went on the 31st and you only found out on the 2nd? It was already last month."
"I just heard what other people said yesterday when they were chatting... What are you going to do?"
"Nothing, I went to discuss some schedule matters with your PD, and I also met a few of your JYP trainees. Lin Nalian, whom I mentioned last time, was also there... Oh, by the way, why didn't you tell me about "Sixteen" The groups have been divided, are you in the 'minor group'?"
"...The teacher has asked us to go to class, so I won't tell you anymore..."
Seeing Zhou Ziyu's self-deceiving reply, Chi Jingyuan burst into laughter.
Zhou Ziyu had just enthusiastically sent a message to ask, but he ran away in a hurry within a few words. It seemed that he had touched the other party's pain point.
"What are you laughing at? You are so happy?"
Son Seungwan, who was sitting opposite, blinked and stared at his cell phone speechlessly, looking at Chi Kyungwon who suddenly burst into laughter. Kang Seulgi and Bae Zhuhyun next to him couldn't help but glance over.
At this time, several people were backstage at "mdown". After exiting the door of the exo lounge, turn left and walk a few steps to find a rest area with a small coffee table and several small sofa stools. Just now, Chi Kyung-won and Do Kyung-soo When we went to buy a drink together, we met Kang Seulgi and Son Seungwan, who had just come to work and had come out for a sneak peek. They took a photo and Kyungsoo said hello and went back first with the drinks. The other three have nothing to do now, so they just sit here and chat for a while.
After chatting for a while, Pei Zhuxuan got the news somehow and walked out of the lounge. He pulled up a sofa next to a few people and sat there with a smile.
"It's nothing. A friend said that our "Spring Day" music video was pretty good."
Chi Jingyuan laughed, and took one last look at the words Zhou Ziyu sent on the text message interface. He crossed out the interface with a swipe of his hand, locked the screen and put the phone away, and looked up at the relatives in front of him.
Redvelvet didn't do any styling work in the beauty room in advance today. It was still early and they had just arrived at work not long ago. They were all wearing private clothes and light makeup. They didn't look so beautiful, but they were naturally much closer to each other.
Pei Zhuhyun had her long golden shawl hair tied into a small braid, holding a glass of mineral water and sipping it.
The drinks I handed to these three girls just now were all rejected. They said that the company was very strict and had a lot of things like calorie and figure management.
Chi Jingyuan didn't quite understand.
"The MV for "Spring Day" is really great. I think the picture is very beautiful, and the xo seniors who shot it are also very handsome."
Sun Shengwan nodded in approval, wrinkled his nose as he thought about something, and said with a somewhat exaggerated expression: "I thought our filming of "Ice Creamcake" was already very good, and we even went to shoot the scene, but I didn't expect that I felt outclassed as soon as I saw it. , Jingyuan’s scenes and those shots were really..."
Bae Zhuhyun was a little dissatisfied when it came to this. She raised her head and glanced at Son Seungwan: "I still like our "icecreamcake"."
"Of course." Sun Shengwan quickly gave the captain a heart sign and raised an eyebrow greasyly.
"..." Pei Zhuxuan was amused and laughed, and glanced at Chi Jingyuan next to him out of the corner of his eye.
"Have you all watched it?" Chi Jingyuan listened to them and began to discuss the shooting techniques of "Spring Day" and several impressive shots.
"Yeah, we watched it together after it was released. Even though it's a ballad... but it feels pretty good." Jiang Seulqi nodded, and her tone was a little unnatural when she mentioned 'lyrical'. It seemed like she was sure I also saw a lot of bad reviews online.
Then he narrowed his eyes and smiled, and changed his tone: "The lyrics of "Spring Day" were written by you, Jingyuan. It feels very artistic and well written. How did you come up with it?"
"The feelings expressed in this song are somewhat similar to "Let It Be". They are all inspired by feelings." Chi Jingyuan thought for a while and explained in a calm manner.
"Wow, I remembered this song when you mentioned it. When I listened to "Let It Be", I almost cried. I always felt that the lyrics were very relevant to my mood, and they also fit in with our group... So "Let It Be" How did you come up with the lyrics for "Natural"?
"Forehead……"
Facing these two curious relatives who chatted non-stop, Chi Jingyuan blinked and didn't know what to say for a moment. After two seconds of pause, he spread his hands with an innocent but serious expression: "Say it. You may not believe it, but I also heard it from others..."
"Pfft..."
A crisp laugh came, and Pei Zhuxuan couldn't help but grinned. Her eyes were bent into a pair of crescents, and her fleshy Yahuazi looked like she was in a good mood. When she realized that she had become the center of her sight, Shi quickly covered his mouth, still smiling and waving his hands to a few people, indicating that they don't need to care about themselves, and you can continue.
"..." Chi Jingyuan naturally knew what she was happy about, but the other two glanced at Ernie strangely, feeling that she was a little strange.
However, I didn’t go into details. I chatted a few words about the music video design and camera language of “Spring Day”. Just when I was getting excited, suddenly there was a sound of slightly low footsteps, and the sound of contact with the ground sounded like thick-soled high heels. The sound of the sound caused several people's eyes to glance over there. Several members of Missa passed through the corridor and came over from a short distance away.
The other three members walked in front, and Pei Xiuzhi fell behind alone. They all looked over at this time.
