"Today is the first time that we and Tou Tuan have appeared on the same singing show at the same time, and the first time they have collided head-on, so today's one is very important. It is difficult to affect the other scores now, but the live SMS voting must be Do it well, get the first one and slap the fan in the face hard!"
"That's right, the big-character poster that those idiot fans of BigBang posted online a few days ago to show off their achievements really disgusted me. It was obvious that the music source was slightly better, and the sales were crushed by us five or six times, but the result is that they are doing it every day It’s as if they have won completely. Stealing fans is really shameless. I must slap them in the face today!”
"I also hope that xo can beat bigbang and get the first place today, but it doesn't feel very stable. I did the calculations and found that "m!" has a high proportion of sound source points. We may have to be pulled apart a little. In terms of sales points, we There must be something wrong, but the full sales score of "m!c" is only 1,000. If we can't close the gap, it will be really disadvantageous for us. I estimate that the remaining preference points, social media, and broadcast points are only half a dozen, and competition It’s really impressive, so on-site voting should be quite important.”
"Xo will win! Die for stealing the group!"
At this moment, Chi Jingyuan is in "m!" "The day after tomorrow, I was scrolling through my mobile phone in the lounge, watching the mobilization and combat speeches of Ellie in the fan club, which was obviously much more active today.
Just like they said, today’s Thursday’s episode of “m! "This is the first time that exo and bigbang, two top boy groups that have been building momentum for a long time, have appeared on the same singing show since their return on the same day. These two groups are not very good at dealing with each other from themselves, to the company, to the fan base. , so today’s “m! 》 also brings a strong sense of competition and shopping.
Seeing the tense atmosphere in the fan group, as if whoever loses today will be disbanded on the spot, Chi Jingyuan looked a little helpless.
In fact, both EXO and BigBang no longer attach much importance to singing competition programs. For example, BigBang has so many years of seniority here since its debut. Due to the company and its own reasons, they have not participated in several singing competitions this time around. programme. As for EXO, they have already become a little tired because they have won too many titles. Now that they are returning to singing, the most important thing is promotion and stage performance. Many members actually don't care whether they can win one.
But it’s different when these two boy bands lose to each other.
Because in addition to the more experienced kpop fans who are chasing stars every day and know how to read various charts and data, more fans are just passerby celebrity fans who usually don’t pay that much attention, just listen to music and read the news. They don't want the former to be able to tell through various data and rankings which group is really popular, and which group is really popular, but it's just an empty show. The latter are too lazy to pay attention to these, and they like to look at something more intuitive. .
Although the contestants on the singing show cannot completely show the overall popularity of a group's recent comeback, it can also reflect their performance to a certain extent, so a large number of people like to compare with this.
And it is the simplest and most intuitive thing.
EXO and BigBang are facing each other to win. If one company wins, the feedback and evaluation from the outside world and passers-by will be much higher. Many people who are chasing stars will even judge the two directly by the ownership of the first one. The outcome of a men's team battle.
Although there won't be any substantial losses if they lose, the fans will really lose face.
So someone who didn't care much before suddenly became important today because of his opponent.
Without looking, Chi Jingyuan knew that .p's fan base must be as lively as Aili's.
"What do you think of today? Is one of you stable?" Jin Junmian, who was sitting next to him, suddenly asked while looking at his cell phone. Apparently, he also felt that the atmosphere was obviously becoming more intense today.
He just took a few members to visit a group of seniors, and he must have been to BigBang's lounge. Although the fans are very difficult to deal with, and they probably don't like each other in their hearts, at least on the surface when doing the show, Etiquette and the relationship between seniors and seniors must still be maintained.
Not necessarily in private.
Kim Junmyeon seems to be a little nervous, as if he has returned to the "Wolf" period when he was trying to get the first place.
"I don't know, it seems very close."
"Who knows, it should be fine."
Several members on one side thought for a while and then spoke one after another, but they didn't look very confident.
The performance of the other party's music source is indeed very good. It has been a week since the two songs "Loser" and "Baebae" still occupied the first and second place. However, exo's "lht" has now fallen behind from the previous competition, leaving only "Loser" and "Baebae". "Oriented Sniper" is firmly at the back, occasionally competing with "Baebae" for the second position.
But the problem is that exo's title song is "lht", not "Orientation Sniper".
Regarding this situation, both SM and EXO members and even Chi Jingyuan himself were a little surprised. They did not expect that a non-hit song with a light-hearted style could perform so well, and even all the data directly surpassed the title song.
"What are you worried about? We shouldn't be able to escape."
Seeing that the atmosphere in the lounge was a little stuffy, Chi Jingyuan took a bag of chocolate bars from the shoulder bag next to him, opened the package, took one and bit it in his mouth, and said with a hint of embarrassment: "And we'll start now. The fight has started. It will be a shame if we don’t get a substitute by then. It’s not like we and Big Bang are the only two groups participating today.”
Although exo and bigbang have taken away most of the popularity, the idols who are singing today are not all transparent. In addition to exid, who has done very well in this comeback, beast's Jang Hyun-seung, secret's Jun Hyosung, and Tara Xian Eunjing has also performed her own solo, and with the popularity of their team, they have gained considerable popularity and attention.
As for the others, it's a bit miserable. Chi Jingyuan just took a look at the list of participating guests. Today, there are four or five boy groups singing, either the lake group has returned or just debuted.
They were really unlucky. They had a fight between EXO and BigBang that took away all the space and attention. They spent a lot of time singing and dancing on the stage, but in the end there were probably not many people around until the comeback period was over. Remember what they are called.
"Don't worry, it'll be absolutely fine."
Baekhyun walked over and took a chocolate bar from him, waving his hands with a smile, with a confident and casual look on his face, as if he had traveled back from the future and already knew the outcome.
Yesterday was Byun Baekhyun's birthday, but there was no special dinner party to celebrate in the evening. I just took a certification photo. After get off work, this guy was so happy that he couldn't wait to say hello, and directly went to the manager before he came back. Walked out of the dormitory.
Without even thinking about it, I probably went on a date with a girl to celebrate my birthday alone, but I don’t know when I got a new girlfriend.
Of course there is no problem with this kind of behavior. Let Chi Jingyuan choose. On his birthday, he will definitely choose a female friend. Who wants to have dinner with a grown man who lives with him every day?
I just don’t know if my new girlfriend looks like Kim Taeyeon...
Chi Jingyuan looked at this brother and found that although he got up very early today, he looked really good. He was full of energy and rosy, and his usually small eyes seemed to be a little wider. He didn't look like he was already there at all. A 35-year-old middle-aged man.
As if he noticed that the atmosphere of today's singing competition was a little tense, the manager thought for a while and came over to clap his hands. When he saw that the members were all looking towards him, he cleared his throat and said a few words:
"No matter who wins the trophy today, we must remain polite. When the awards are given at the end, if we are familiar with it, we can just applaud and encourage and smile. Even if we win, we must manage our expressions and don't let the outside world criticize us. We are all debuting You should all understand after such a long time.”
What he said makes sense. Of course you will be unhappy if you lose, but you definitely can't show it. If you win, even if you are happy in your heart, the fans will be very happy, but you have to be more humble and not be too arrogant. Bigbang is a senior after all. , if too much realization will degrade the public’s senses, Peninsula still attaches great importance to the relationship between seniors and juniors.
In fact, there was no need to remind everyone, but they still responded together:
"knew."
…
"Because there are seniors playing songs today, the company asked for a ticket, so you can come in directly if the time is not up, but there are so many people queuing at the door today, it's really scary..."
"Remember to tear off the admission ticket issued by the company and stick it on the lens of your mobile phone to cover it, otherwise you may be kicked out by the security guards. Taking pictures with mobile phones is not allowed here."
"Unnie, do you know this well?"
"Of course, didn't I come here to sing with gd Oppa before, and I often came to watch the recording live before, and I even went backstage twice... But it wasn't through the company, it was through my mommy I was brought here to tell you that the backstage of "m!" is very small. The corridors and elevators are very narrow, much smaller than those of the other three major stations...
In the afternoon, several girls dressed in different styles but all looking beautiful and fashionable walked into the cj center together. Under the guidance of Jin Zhini, they walked toward "m!" "Walking to the performance hall, he kept chirping and introducing the situation here, with obvious self-confidence in his tone. Especially after being praised and asked questions, the smile on his face became even better. The feeling of being surrounded by stars holding the moon couldn't help but appear in my heart, and my round face turned into an oval shape when I grinned.
Jin Jixiu, who was walking beside her, already knew her friend's character very well and was somewhat used to it. However, when she said 'Mommy', she couldn't help but glance at her and curl her lips secretly.
Although he is a complete local, even though he went to school overseas, it still sounds a bit weird to call him "Mommy" instead of "Oh Mom".
Jin Zhini is highly valued by the company because of her family and her own qualities. She already has a lot of resources before she debuts. A few years ago, she also performed a feat for G-Dragon’s solo and appeared on the singing stage, causing quite a stir. Discussions and normal interactions will naturally make you appear more 'present'.
"Is it too late for us to come now?" Lisa looked at the staff walking around and asked in a low voice.
"Bigbang will definitely be pre-recording today. Depending on their pre-recording, they will probably have to queue up early in the morning. Who can come so early? If it's EXO, it should be live. If you come early, you can hope to see their rehearsal, but Watching too many rehearsals is actually quite boring, with perfunctory movements and wearing private clothes... and the rehearsals don’t necessarily allow people to go in.”
Jin Zhini waved her hands with experience: "We are not here to chase stars like the people outside. We are not here to watch EXO and BigBang's seniors compete for the top spot, so this time is just right."
"Because there is no restroom in the recording studio, artists usually come here. Occasionally, you can see some idols squatting here."
When passing by the bathroom, I slowed down and looked over there a few times, as if expecting something. Unfortunately, no one came out of it for several seconds, so I could only walk over with a slight disappointment.
"Unnie, aren't you here to see Yuan?" Park Caiying looked back at the direction of the bathroom, then turned to Jin Zhini: "I remember you said you had met him in private before? How is he in private? Does he look good? ?”
"I came to see him. It was one of the purposes." There was no intention of hiding anything. Jin Zhini smiled generously: "It was a long time ago. I just met him at the door of the club. I didn't pay much attention at the time. Look... Ji Soo Oni has worked with Ji Kyung Won, so he should know them well."
Facing the eyes of several sisters, Jin Jixiu, who was suddenly cueed, looked to the left and then to the right, remembering the unforgettable experience of working together on advertising at the beginning of the year, and blinked: "
"Okay."
…
After the rehearsal until 6 p.m. "m! "Officially started broadcasting. Chi Jingyuan has been sitting in the lounge playing games, watching the live broadcast on the monitor from time to time. Today's guest has no friends he is familiar with, and he is too lazy to go out to visit.
But speaking of it, he and exid are quite destined. Before they became popular, he accidentally saw their road show on the street, which left a deep impression on him. However, after they became popular, there was not much Just communication.
"Jingyuan, let's go, on-site interview."
When the show was almost halfway through, Jin Junmian shouted to him to remind him that business was coming. Chi Jingyuan quickly responded, put away the game console, and walked out with the members.
Although I said before that I might not be selected, everyone knew it was just a joke and they came. The TV station also knew very well what the audience wanted to see, so they announced the candidates as Big Bang and EXO at the beginning of today.
The program crew also understands very well. From the very beginning of the program, they have exaggerated the atmosphere of competition between the two boy groups, dazzling everyone with all kinds of rainbow farts.
"The superhero who completely disrupted the music industry in May is back!"
"Bigbang and EXO, they...e back"
Words like "Like the changes in the earth's crust caused by Mars hitting the earth, the chilling popularity..." directly aroused the enthusiasm of the audience and fans.
And "m! 》There are sometimes two live interviews with one alternate during the midfield.
This kind of interview doesn't happen every time. It didn't happen in the last two issues, but it suddenly happened in this issue.
"Wow, the fierce competition for the first place trophy, Big Bang and EXO, please say hello..."
With a cheer, the live broadcast camera turned to the interview stage in the studio. The two MCs, Kim Kibum and Lee Jung Shin, faced the camera, looked at the two boy bands standing on both sides of them, and read the host words loudly with their scripts in hand.
"Hello everyone, we are bigbang."
"We are one, Anihasay, we are exo."
"Ahhhh..."
At this time, EXO and Big Bang, the two most popular boy groups, stood on both sides of them and began to introduce themselves. Together with the MC, more than a dozen people filled the entire camera.
The nine members of EXO on the left are wearing the same blue campus suit. They look handsome, natural and full of fresh and energetic boyfriend style. Everyone of Big Bang on the right is dressed differently. All kinds of rivets, iron chains and ripped pants show the trend and free and easy, and the colorful hair It is also full of hip-hop atmosphere, and one of top Choi Seung-hyun's eyeballs is still green.
Because the interview stage was not big, the two boy bands were already connected, looking at the camera with smiles on their faces. There seemed to be no conflicts at all, and they seemed to be getting along very harmoniously with each other.
The fans and audience in the audience cheered immediately, and the screams echoed through the sky.
Fans have been at odds with each other for so long, and the right and wrong characters finally collided with each other. This scene is truly a classic.
"First of all, two groups, Republic and Korea, are candidates for the first place. Please tell me, if Big Bang becomes the first place, what kind of special encore performance will they prepare?" Kim Ki-bum started to ask with the microphone.
A special encore performance is a promise, which means that if you get one, you will do some special performances to thank and give back to the fans.
"We will do a special dance..." Taiyang answered with a smile as he took the phone.
"What about exo? Do you have any encore conventions?"
"Well, if we xo win the first place, we will have the first relay dance." Jin Junmian nodded and looked at the camera.
"Ahhh..." As soon as these words came out, Ai Li screamed immediately below, looking very much looking forward to it.
Relay dance means that there is no positioning. All members stand in a row and dance their part first. After dancing, they go to the back to stand in line and complete the dance of a song in relay.
"Wow, I'm really looking forward to it... I'm also very curious about what kind of encore ceremony I will see. You must continue to watch... Then let's take a look at the real-time voting situation so far." mc Li Zhengxin expressed his expectations in a perfunctory manner, and then the conversation turned to SMS voting.
After hearing this, the members of the two groups also looked over. No matter how harmoniously they smiled on their faces, they definitely wanted to win the other party in their hearts.
"-bigbang 37%."
"-exo 63%"
Seeing this data, neither BigBang nor EXO's expressions changed at all, they clapped and cheered for each other.
Chi Jingyuan's smile did not change, but he secretly sighed in his heart, Big Bang is really great, and the fan base is also very powerful.
Because exo participated in "m!" after becoming popular in 2013. 》So many issues, the SMS voting rarely falls below 95%.
Ai Li immediately burst into laughter off the court, while .p looked dissatisfied.
However, this is only the data in the middle of the program, and the SMS voting will not be closed until the end.
"Before appreciating the super stage brought by the two combinations, Yuan Xi!" Li Zhengxin nodded and said a cue to Chi Jingyuan.
This was agreed upon before, and exo members will introduce the next performers.
"It's really exciting, T-ara's Ham Eun-jung sunbaenim's solo debut is coming back with a new name called "Elsie"."
Chi Jingyuan responded, took the microphone and faced the camera with a smile, said the lines he had memorized before, and then everyone made a gesture together:
“Let’s enjoy it together!”
After shouting that the interview was over, and seeing the camera stop filming and the live broadcast cut away, the smiles of the two groups on the interview stage, especially the members of Big Bang, immediately dropped. After taking a look at EXO next to them, He walked directly towards the backstage. Only Li Shengli looked back at Chi Jingyuan, smiled and nodded his head in greeting.
After waiting for a while and not with Big Bang, they laughed and chatted with Jin Qibum. After the time was staggered, EXO also walked to the backstage.
After just a few steps, Chi Jingyuan seemed to feel something and inadvertently glanced at the auditorium on the left.
There were several girls in the crowd who were dressed a little more conspicuously, and they were staring at him non-stop. One of them had a familiar face, but she was too far away to see clearly.
Chi Jingyuan didn't pay attention. He averted his eyes and followed the members into the backstage.
Waiting until EXO performed on the penultimate stage, Chi Jingyuan saw the girls again when they were walking on the stage. The interview stage was a bit far away and they couldn't see clearly, but these people were quite close to the stage. Yes, after a quick glance, Chi Jingyuan immediately recognized the familiar person. It was Jin Jixiu who he had worked with for a few days on commercials at the beginning of the year.
In addition to having a good appearance and being good at taking pictorials, the thing that left the deepest impression on Chi Jingyuan was her status as a YG trainee.
So, those next to me are also YG trainees.
Chi Jingyuan took a look while he was not standing in the C position, and Jin Jixiu and the others over there seemed to have been paying attention to him. When they saw his gaze and looked over, one of the girls with a round face smiled happily. , his eyes lit up and he stood up and waved to him.
Although the other party looked very enthusiastic, Chi Jingyuan didn't express much. He quickly arrived at his part, retracted his gaze and walked to the middle position to look at the camera, focusing on the stage performance.
Because BigBang's seniors were the last to appear, and EXO was the second to last, after their stage ended, it was their turn to play "Baebae" and "Loser" that the fans had been waiting for.
Chi Jingyuan also watched BigBang's stage on the monitor. To be honest, the design was really unique.
Although BigBang debuted as an idol group, except for dancing in the first few years, in recent years, they no longer have any intense dances during their performances. They are just walking and simple gestures, and sometimes even Just stand there and shake your body casually and think of it as dancing.
In this case, sometimes the stage will look very monotonous and boring. In order to achieve the overall performance effect, we have to start from other aspects, including the coordination of scenery, props, lighting and costumes.
Now it seems that yg has done a really good job in this aspect. Even though there are no dance moves at all, the overall effect of the two stages is very eye-catching, at least the atmosphere is brought up.
By the time Big Bang finished their performance, all the artists and guests who had already waited at the exit of the backstage boarded the stage together. EXO stood to the left of the MC in the first row, opposite Big Bang who had just finished performing.
Now it’s time to find out:
"Okay! "M!" in the first week of May, the competition between two popular boy groups Big Bang and EXO, the final result of their duel..."
Jin Qibum held the script and pointed at the camera with excitement on his face:
"Now please make it public!"
