As the last nine members of EXO stood up from the high stools, raised their thumbs in front of the camera and made iconic gestures, and then all bowed, the next second the signal cut off the entire live broadcast and ended.
The entire third anniversary live broadcast lasted nearly two hours, which was already a long time ago, but many people in front of the computer couldn't help but smacked their lips when they saw the dark screen, and there were some unfinished feelings in their hearts.
Although the members and Chi Jingyuan shared many interesting private secrets later on, they still felt that they were not enough.
"'we are one' hee hee..." After watching the live broadcast, Lin Nalian also imitated the way she did at the end of XO just now, and gave a thumbs up to Yu Dingyan next to her. Her original expression was serious and the imitation was decent, but just now Just shouting and playing slogans will be a waste of time, and you will smile as soon as your front teeth are exposed.
"The live broadcast of EXO's third anniversary event this time was quite creative, and the content was quite interesting. It was much more interesting than the boy group's anniversary event we watched some time ago."
"That time, I just performed a few shows and then kept sensationalizing. It was boring."
Yu Dingyan also smiled and gave a thumbs up gesture and imitated it. After the two friends made trouble with each other for a while, they couldn't help but comment when they remembered what they just saw: "I didn't see it in the middle, so I don't know what was said, but the scene of the pool at the beginning The behind-the-scenes of the album production and the last part about XO’s debut are really fascinating.”
"That's right, eh~~~~, EXO's most popular member actually just joined the group when they started filming the MV."
After stretching with satisfaction, Lin Nalian couldn't help but bring up the topic again, "The things we filmed before, as well as the choreography and positioning, don't we need to re-practice, and the parts also need to be re-divided? Alas, after joining the company for two It’s really enviable to have debuted in just a few months.”
"To be able to directly contact the company for an interview, and to be airborne into EXO, his family must be extraordinary. I've heard some of this mentioned by Ernie before."
"Didn't I tell you last time that there was competition for actors behind the scenes before the filming of "The Heirs" started..."
Yu Dingyan also nodded in recognition, and then suddenly remembered something. He looked up at Zhou Ziyu who was still sitting there with his legs bent and looking at his phone and didn't know what he was looking at. He took the initiative to ask: "Tzuyu, I heard that you Aren’t you acquainted with Yuan? Do you know anything about this?”
"Ah, guilty?"
Zhou Ziyu was stunned when she heard that she was being cueed. She looked up at the two of them blankly and asked with a blank expression, as if she didn't understand what she was saying.
"I heard that you and Yuan know each other. Do you know what his family does?"
Yu Dingyan then repeated it again. Hearing this question, Lin Nalian, Mingjing Nan and others couldn't help but look over curiously.
Being able to get to know an artist who debuted while a trainee is actually something worth showing off, especially when this artist is still the most popular idol in the peninsula music industry. Although Zhou Ziyu herself has hardly mentioned it, However, several other friends who had met Chi Jingyuan before were mentioned excitedly in chats from time to time, so the news that Zhou Ziyu and Chi Jingyuan knew each other was not a big deal to many people. secret.
But basically most of the trainees think that the relationship between the two is not that good, and they just met by chance. Those bragging about giving away tickets can easily be regarded as showing off between girls. There are not many people who take it seriously.
"……I don't know either."
Zhou Ziyu didn't really want to mention how she met Chi Jingyuan in front of others. She pretended not to understand and didn't want to answer, but the other party repeated it again and saw that she couldn't escape, so she could only look a little confused. He shook his head and answered word by word in slightly broken Korean.
The big round eyes that were propped up were full of confusion. If the head was tilted again, it would look like a duck.
"never mind."
Seeing her like this, Yu Dingyan waved her hand and stopped asking. Lin Nalian pulled her up to prepare to go to dinner together. She stood there and stretched, and said: "I kept scrolling through the comments when I was watching the live broadcast. The screen refreshes very quickly. It seems that there are many people watching this live broadcast, and it is likely to become a hot spot."
"I feel so too."
The two of them are right. There are still a lot of people paying attention to EXO's third anniversary live broadcast this time. In addition to the fans who have been looking forward to it, many passers-by also watched it. Before the live broadcast started, SM's official account released the live broadcast on the 6th. Following the notice, the number of comments below exceeded 100,000 in less than 2 days. Such popularity and popularity really made countless other peers in the industry look at them and marvel.
In fact, it is very common for idol groups in the Peninsula to hold such anniversary events. After all, there are so many groups that have debuted. Fans like to watch this kind of event and it can play a role in solidifying fans, so they can’t wait to see a group every few days. News such as how many years since debut, how many years since debut.
It's just that this kind of activity is basically only attended by its own fans. It's all about entertaining oneself in one's own circle behind closed doors. Fans from other families and passers-by are not interested at all, and EXO's live broadcast this time Their attention beyond the fan circle is also due to their popularity in the past two years and their super popularity in the past two months.
Some of the topics revealed quickly became the focus of discussions among fans after the show ended, and also became a hot search topic for a period of time in the evening.
"Did Yuan come up with the monthly comeback model? How old is he that he can have such a big say in the group's comeback? Does SM think so highly of him? It's really surprising."
"Ah ah, Oppa is so awesome. He can be the producer of his own group just three years after his debut. It's a TOP-level team like EXO, let alone popularity. This level and strength are stable among three generations of male idols. Ranked first, there should be no other male idol that can compete with him, right?"
"It's really funny. This model has been around for a long time in the American music scene. It sounds like Chi Jingyuan came up with it himself, and Big Bang has already announced it before them. There's nothing embarrassing about plagiarism. As for plagiarism, At the back, can the ground flour be softened? GD really laughed to death when he heard it."
"Stealing fans are out again. I'm really speechless. Can you guys stop talking about XO every time? They say they are a third-generation boy band. How old is your G-Dragon this year? Is he 40? And Ma Long and Stealing What kind of group is there? How many times do they have to kowtow to Teddy to be able to do what they are doing today?"
Even though they haven't really met each other yet, Aili and VIP have already become bitter rivals. Now as long as a topic related to one party appears on the Internet, no matter it is good or bad, the other party will rush there quickly and do whatever they want. Because of a quarrel caused by a spark, this scene has become a permanent sight in the entertainment forum of the music industry recently.
The focus of this live broadcast discussion, in addition to the inside story related to the production of the debut album, was revealed at the end. The most important thing was Chi Jingyuan's revelations about his own experience at the end.
In particular, it is the first time that his joining SM and EXO has been made known to the public. This kind of information told by himself has a high degree of authenticity, which makes fans even more surprised and excited.
At the same time, it also further proved a speculation and joke about Chi Jingyuan that had been circulated for a while.
"No one has the nerve to deny the title of 'royal family' now, right? He joined SM and made his debut two months ago. Judging from the time, EXO's debut group was almost confirmed in 2011. Chi Jingyuan entered the company directly. He was immediately parachuted into the debut group, and strictly speaking, he can be said to have never been a trainee for a day."
"There is no doubt that the royal family, you heard what he said easily, 'contacted SM, JYP and YG for interviews', is this something that ordinary families can do? The normal process for these three companies to recruit trainees is through holding selection meetings. , selecting trainees at a ratio of hundreds or even thousands to one, Chi Jingyuan can interview alone at will, and he has directly contacted all three major music industry majors. This is no longer something that ordinary connections can do. …
And that photo, I also checked the blue suit uniform Chi Jingyuan was wearing in the photo and the school emblem on the clothes. It is a well-known high-end private school in LA. I won’t mention the tuition and admission standards. Those who can go to that school are either rich or noble. Think about it for yourself when it comes to Li Xiuman's attitude towards him. "
"Some information has been exposed before, and members have occasionally mentioned it on the show. Didn't they already know that Yuan's family situation is very good? How come it is the same as what I just heard? And although it sounds surprising to make an airborne debut, it is In fact, it is quite common. He is not the only one among EXO, such as Baekhyun and Jongdae who debuted in less than a year of practice and Yuan who debuted in two months. There is also SJ's Ryeowook. Apink's Jung Eunji and girlsday's yura are all like this, and some even practice for less time than Yuan.
What surprised me the most after watching it was the fact that EXO was asked to join in when they had already started filming their debut MV. I can only say that it is really amazing that Lee Soo Man and SM were able to make such a decision at this time, EXO all the way You can see everything as you walk by, but I can only say that without Yuan, XO would never be where it is today. "
"Indeed, the wisest and correct decision Lee Soo Man made in recent years was to add Yuan to EXO as the twelfth member at the last minute."
There are a lot of discussions about Chi Jingyuan’s royal family and background. Both fans and passers-by are discussing this topic with great interest. There are also many commentators who have opened posts one after another. Through some dialogues in previous EXO programs, as well as Chi Jingyuan’s several In recent years, details such as clothes have been photographed to explore his true family background, which has attracted a lot of people's attention and attention.
The peninsula itself is a country that both hates and worships wealth. After some news about Chi Jingyuan came out, not only did the overall reputation not be affected, but the style was slightly improved a lot, and even the fans also because of it I feel proud of this,
And in fact, 'royal' is not a derogatory word in many people's minds. On the contrary, it is an adjective that many fans of other idols are jealous of, because this word means having a background and having many resources.
In the perception of fans, if you have a background, you will not be bullied and will not be subject to some unspoken rules that cannot be brought to the table. Therefore, in the bottom of their hearts, fans of every family wish that their main owner is also a royal family.
Only those who have a lot of resources, and even occupy or rob other members of the team's schedule and resources to some extent, but whose popularity has never increased, will the royal family become a person used to ridicule derogatory term.
It's not too late for them to be envious of someone like Chi Jingyuan who is the most popular member of the team.
However, what is unexpected is that after the live broadcast, Lee Soo Man's reputation among fans inexplicably increased a lot. Many people expressed their admiration for his decision to let Ji Jingyuan join EXO online.
I don’t know what his expression will be like when he arrives.
…………
"Today's final results, first of all, are the music source sales scores: "Spring Day" 4082 vs. "Only You" 5000."
"Album sales score, EXO 1000 vs. MissA 9."
"Likeability score, "Haruhi" EXO 763 vs. "only you" MissA 980."
“Social media score, EXO 1000 vs. MissA 575.”
"Mnet live score EXO 1000 vs. MissA 640."
"The total score after adding the live text message voting is 8745 vs. 7251. The winner today is EXO, "Spring Day", and Camida!"
As Kim Ki-bum, one of the MCs of "M! countdown" announced loudly, and at the same time handed the trophy to Kim Jun-myeon under the ribbon, this issue of "M! countdown" 》One of the winners also already has a home.
Members of EXO such as Park Chanyeol and Kim Jongdae quickly made some funny moves to celebrate this member under the cheers of fans. Ji Kyungwon did not have so many scenes and just stood aside and applauded with a smile on his face. , but my heart is relatively calm.
After all, it was something I had thought of before.
Although MissA's comeback is very loud, the music data of the title song is explosive. Because of Bae Suzy's presence, the group's popularity is also relatively high, and the data in all aspects are very good.
However, the super shortcomings in sales make it difficult for them to compete with EXO in singing programs, especially when the sound source of EXO's title song "Spring Day" did not hit the street, but was only slightly weaker than them. .
"M! The scoring rules of "Countdown" are very simple. The score pool is divided according to different categories. The strongest person in each event directly gets full points, and the remaining candidates get corresponding points based on the proportion of their scores to the strongest person.
The full score of the music source is 5000, and MissA, the strongest one, gets a perfect score, but "Spring Day" also got more than 4000, which is not much weaker.
The sales score is extremely eye-catching. EXO has a perfect score of 1,000, while MissA only has 9 points.
The comparison between sales of more than 500,000 and sales of more than 5,000 is too dazzling to resist.
Such a tragic data comparison will really leave people speechless, and even fans will feel a little frustrated.
To be honest, it would be better to just give it a zero score and let the uninformed audience think that you have not released a physical album, which can save a little face.
The members of EXO were celebrating happily, while Chi Jingyuan glanced over there from the corner of his eye. Although the four members of MissA also smiled and applauded for them, he felt that their smiles were actually a little stiff. In fact, I am not happy in my heart.
Knowing that this comeback coincided with EXO, everyone including missA and JYP had already expected that the popularity this time might be overshadowed a lot, and they were probably suppressed throughout the singing program.
However, because the sound source of the title song unexpectedly became a hit, the extremely high reviews and popularity made their members naturally have some other expectations. They thought that relying on the excellent sound source data to get a few number one would be proof of this comeback. success.
Today is actually the best chance, because the full sales score of "M! Countdown" is only 1,000, which prevents EXO from giving full play to its greatest advantage.
But I still haven’t played today.
Not to mention "Music Bank" tomorrow. The nickname "Sales Bank" is really not given casually. The sales share of this show is extremely high. Boy groups like XO often have a candidate with the same sales share. It is impossible for them to beat EXO when their opponent's total points are still higher.
And now, as the sound source of "Haruhi" is growing against the trend with a momentum visible to the naked eye, the further it goes, the less promising it becomes.
After more than a year, they had carefully prepared their comeback, but when the music source was so popular, they might not be able to get a single song in the whole process, which really left them a little confused about what to say.
All I can say is that the timing of this return was indeed not very suitable.
In other words, it was originally very suitable, but when EXO also chose this time to come back, it became inappropriate.
Chi Jingyuan turned around and thanked the other idols. The five red velvets standing behind them smiled and looked at Jin Yelin who was jumping and dancing on the spot. It felt like he had won a Ryder Cup. Jin Yelin was very happy. After nodding his head in amusement, the encore stage began immediately.
This week, EXO and missa started playing songs, so naturally, Ledbebe withdrew from the list of candidates.
They failed to beat their rival FTisland in the last "Inkigayo" last week, which resulted in the number of singles returning this time stopping at 6.
But for them, this is already a very good result.
The next step is also expected. Following the two-day song competition on the 10th and 11th, EXO relied on their obvious advantages in strong sales and fan voting to defeat MissA and get the first trophy, but it was only in the music chart. Although the singles have been growing against the trend, the rate of growth has slowed down a lot. The number one spot on the daily and even weekly charts is still occupied by "only you".
This situation did not begin to change significantly until the evening of the 11th, when this issue of "Yoo Hee-yeol's Sketchbook" was officially released.
…………
At twelve o'clock in the morning, Yoon Seok-gyu switched the TV channel to KBS 2TV, preparing to watch "Yoo Hee-yeol's Sketchbook" that was about to be broadcast.
He is considered an old viewer of this program. He has basically been watching it on time since the year before last. Even if it is delayed due to unexpected events, he will replay or upload the video to the Internet later.
Although Yin Seokkyu is not very old and is less than thirty years old, he is not very interested in more intense POP dance music. Instead, he likes more passionate and easy-to-touch lyrical songs. I never follow boy or girl groups, I just like a few solo artists and niche singers with outstanding singing skills.
What he likes most about this show is its excellent acoustics and the often high-quality stage.
Occasionally he sees a great live stage, and he will go to YouTube to repeatedly watch excerpts from the stage. While downloading the sound source, he will also recommend it to his friends. He can be called a very loyal audience.
It’s just that I’m not very interested today because I saw the preview and found out that the guest on this episode is EXO, a boy group that has been very popular in the past two years.
Even though Yoon Seok-gyu doesn't pay attention to Kpop idols, he still often hears their names, especially the one named Ji Kyung-won. Every time he goes shopping with his girlfriend in a nearby mall, he can see several photos hanging inside. Super large promotional posters, and many counters also have his vertical advertisements for clothing brands, food brands, and even any LG store. You really don’t know if you don’t recognize him.
We just know each other, but there's nothing interesting about them at all, and I've never heard their songs.
After knowing that EXO was the guest today, Yoon Seok-gyu was too lazy to watch it. But when the time came today, he habitually turned on the TV and changed the channel. After thinking about it, he simply stopped and decided to watch this man with such a big name. What is the level of the group?
After the commercial, the show officially started. Yoo Hee Yeol said a few words casually, explained today's guest EXO, and then started the first stage of the day, "Roar".
Of course Yoon Seok-kyu has heard of this song. It was played in the streets and alleys the year before last in 2013. He also admitted that the melody was indeed addictive and very nice. He didn't pay attention at the time but only realized it after seeing it now. He didn't expect it to be an EXO song.
By the way, this group is quite stable in singing and dancing live?
It turns out that "Wei Sheng" was also played by Chi Jingyuan?
After patiently reading the rest of the interview, Yoon Seok-kyu unknowingly became interested and felt that this boy band was actually quite interesting.
After the short chat session, the next stage started. Yoon Seok-gyu sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, watching the nine members of EXO sitting quietly on the high stools on the stage.
After brewing for a long time, the sounds of the high piano and the bass were intertwined, and the prelude of "Spring Day" suddenly sounded.
As the melody entered his ears, Yin Shigui was immediately startled. Erlang's legs, which were swinging casually, suddenly stopped moving as if they were electrocuted.
