Peninsula Asteroid

"You'll know it when you hear it? What do you mean?"

Lying on the bed, curled up and wrapped in a warm quilt, Pei Zhuxuan froze for a moment when she saw the other party's news, her eyes blinked, and there was some doubt on her plain face.

Just when he was about to send a message to ask about it, Chi Jingyuan immediately sent another message: "Stop talking, I'm off to filming."

Pei Zhuxuan paused with her fingers, and retreated the two or three words that had already been typed. After staring at the screen for a few seconds, she chose a 'Come on' emoji and sent it.

After sending it, she checked the time, and then turned the phone aside, she knew that Chi Jingyuan would not reply in a short time.

She huddled her body under the quilt with her legs, and rubbed her soft back twice with her feet happily. The soft touch made her close her eyes and enjoy it for a while.

After two minutes, Pei Zhuxuan opened her eyes and looked at the ceiling, her big dark eyes blinked twice.

Originally, she was interested in the title of the song, and when Chi Jingyuan mentioned the winter special during the Jiangbian chat last time, she just asked casually. was picked up.

The MAMA this time is the same as the previous MMA. Red velvet didn’t attend because of their own achievements and lack of celebrities, and SM didn’t carry out public relations and operations. There are too many artists going there, and it's impossible for Led Beibei who is so confused after his debut.

This bloody reality made several members including Pei Zhuxuan feel a little bit aggrieved and gloomy. Originally, even if Chi Jingyuan and EXO participated, Pei Zhuxuan had no desire to watch this MAMA.

It’s just that after listening to it now, it’s suddenly a little different. She can’t help but have some expectations for the special stage of "Let It Be Natural" that will be performed on MAMA.

The same goes for Chi Jingyuan, but after arousing her curiosity, the other party just patted her butt and left to film the movie, which made her a little sleepless now, and she couldn't help but think about what Chi Jingyuan said just now. What means.

This man is really annoying!

…………

As Chi Jingyuan had expected, the progress of his scenes was delayed due to consecutive concert leave, and he worked overtime until two or three o'clock in the middle of the night before finishing work.

After get off work, he hurried to a studio in Jiangnan District to shoot the MV. The other members had already arrived at the scene and started filming their own shots. After arriving, Chi Jingyuan hurriedly put on makeup and changed clothes to join in.

Because the MV of "Let It Be Natural" has to be finished quickly if it is going to be released on December 4th with the help of MAMA. After all, the post-production also takes a few days, so EXO and the others have been very busy these two days. , especially Chi Jingyuan, because he still has the task of filming, so the MV shooting can only be done at night in many cases.

But the good thing is that the MV doesn't need to dance, and most of them are running and close-up shots of facial expressions. Compared with the MV of dance music, it is very easy to shoot. After working overtime for two or three days, it can be considered as done.

Chi Jingyuan, who finally had a good night's sleep, was not idle for long, and was called back to the company to attend the meeting the next day.

"According to the comeback model of combining four single albums into the regular second album, the title song of the first single album "E" released in March or April next year must be "spring day". After all, most people in the peninsula listen to The songs are all seasonal, in spring I just listen to 'Spring Day', so what about the included songs? "El Dorado", or "butterfly", "my answer"?"

"The quality of the song "spring day" is really good, the melody meets the public's preferences, and the lyrics are also very healing and warm. It is a bit similar to "Let It Be Natural". To some extent, it expresses some warm feelings for fans... ..."

"But this song is still a lyric song in the final analysis. Even if you can do some simple choreography, it will not break away from this category. Judging from the current situation of EXO and our observation and statistics of XO fan groups and the attitudes of passers-by, they We all have high expectations for next year's comeback, but fans have been looking forward to it for so long and the first title song is a ballad, will it disappoint them?"

"So if "spring day" is used as the title song of the first single, it is best not to include songs with a lyrical style."

At this time, in the meeting room on the fourth floor of the company, the heads and staff of several departments involved in recording, planning, and artists are discussing the plan for EXO's comeback next year.

A rectangular conference table was full of seats, and people on both sides kept expressing their opinions and opinions. Li Xiuman and several representatives sat at the top, listening carefully while writing something in the notepad in their hands.

And Chi Jingyuan sat on the side and listened quietly with a stack of materials. He felt a little hot when the heater was turned on a little. He pulled his collar from time to time. A very familiar face.

A few days ago, after he handed over his comeback planning plan to Li Xiuman, after a series of meetings and discussions in the company, it is basically confirmed that he will adopt "return once a month with a single album, and the last four singles will be combined. In the form of a regular 2nd album, EXO will make a comeback next year.

The name of the album also adopted his suggestion, and the names of the four single albums were tentatively designated as "E", "X", "O" and "L".

Most aspects have been determined, but there are still many disputes in many aspects. The contradictions focus on the choice of title song and collection, and the trade-off of the specific time of return.

As the proposer of this suggestion, as well as one of the scheduled producers, the company and Li Xiuman both asked Chi Jingyuan to join in to listen and give his opinions, and this kind of meeting is already the second that Chi Jingyuan has attended in the past two days .

Including the last time, he basically listened to the whole process without expressing any opinions.

Because his suggestion has basically been clearly written in the plan report, I believe that both Li Xiuman and many staff members are very clear.

Although he doesn't speak, but to be honest, listening to their intense discussion, Chi Jingyuan thinks it's quite rewarding. When it comes to considering the return of his group, the company, idol, and fans have completely different perspectives. Listen Make it interesting for him.

"According to our judgment and grasp of the market, among the several candidates for the title song, "call me baby" and "boy with luv" have the potential to become a major hit. I recommend these two songs as the first Play the title track of "E" and the fourth "L" so that both the opening and the ending have the biggest bang."

"And the name of the song "boy with luv" matches the name of the single album "L". One is the name of the fans and the other is the words to the fans. This combination will definitely move EXO fans. The topic gimmicks, especially the promotion of sales, are of great help."

Hearing the suggestion from the director, Chi Jingyuan glanced at him and nodded slightly. The title song of the first album was different from what he thought, but the idea of ​​the fourth album was exactly the same.

In addition to the few songs provided by Chi Jingyuan's music library, the company has prepared dozens of songs for EXO's comeback, among which only the main song There are as many as six or seven songs of the same level, and a lot of resources have been invested in various aspects. "Call me baby" is one of his favorite songs.

Speaking of which, Chi Jingyuan recorded the demo of the Korean version of the song "call me baby". This song was created by a well-known musician in Europe and America and was purchased by SM. half an hour.

Because the title of the song in the original English demo is called "call me dady", both the title and the lyrics are very explicit, pointing out that Xiasanlu is a Huang song without any cover-up.

Fortunately, the company found someone to refill the lyrics for the Korean version. It was really good. After Chi Jingyuan finished recording, he liked it quite a bit. The company also put their heart into it.

As for "boy with luv", it is the title song he provided for EXO's comeback this time, and it is also the most promising song among the songs he released.

"I think "El Dorado" is very good as a non-main song, and it can be included in "E" to balance the style of the song."

"What is the title song for the third "O"? I think "love me right", one of the title songs scheduled in the original project, is quite suitable, but the style of "MY TYPE" is also very unique. A very characteristic addition to the album."

"And EXODUS."

"The key to the collection of songs is to grasp the changes in the market. Has the latest market evaluation report come out?"

"The specific time of comeback needs to be discussed again. If it comes back once a month starting from March, then EXO will conflict with the comeback period of several idol groups under our banner, and we will be in a situation where we fight ourselves. ...

"Especially red velvet, we have arranged for them to come back with a new album around mid-March, and their current situation urgently needs to change the public's perception, so this album is extremely important to them, plus this time There are also new members joining, if it hits EXO..."

He didn't finish, but everyone present can understand that, judging from the current situation and reputation of red velvet, if EXO is going to reload next year and come back with so many company resources, it is estimated that it will be directly crushed There are not many rubs left of the scum in the past.

Hearing this sentence, the spinning pen in Chi Jingyuan's hand stopped involuntarily. This was the first time he heard about red velvet's comeback next year.

And what does SM think, there are new members joining? Li Xiuman really wants to continue the "infinite expansion" gameplay that failed on Girls' Generation and SJ before?

Did you fail twice and still not give up?

Pei Zhuxuan and the others didn't mention these things to him before. Obviously, the members of Ryder Babe haven't been notified yet. Just looking at the expressions of other people at the meeting, the decision to join Red Velvet and the comeback plan should have been confirmed down.

Chi Jingyuan was quite curious about who would become the fifth member of red velvet. Judging from the current bleak situation of this group, he didn't know whether it was good luck or bad luck for this new member.

After the meeting, which lasted for more than an hour, it was still not confirmed which songs to include, but at least the thinking was much clearer than last time, and the selection range of songs was also narrowed down a lot.

At least according to the market analysis, several songs with explosive potential have already been individually selected and reserved for the position of the title song, and the rest are mainly included songs and some other considerations.

After chatting alone with Li Xiuman and expressing his opinion, Chi Jingyuan got in the nanny car and returned to the crew to continue filming.

During the break in the middle, he suddenly remembered the news he heard during the meeting just now, and immediately took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Pei Zhuxuan.

"shock……"

Pei Zhuxuan, who was sweating profusely, was sitting in the practice room drinking water and wiping sweat with a towel when she heard the phone she was charging next to her ring.

"Your comeback plan seems to have been finalized. The time will probably be March next year. I think you will be notified soon... By the way, red velvet may add another member, but I don't know who to add."

The text message sent by Chi Jingyuan made her calm mood become agitated in an instant. After being stunned for two seconds, she put the water glass aside, and quickly asked: "It's confirmed, how do you know?"

The other party replied quickly: "I heard from the head of the company's planning and recording department during the meeting in the morning that it should have almost been decided."

For red velvet's current situation where there is no resources to invest in cold storage, the next comeback is really the most concerned and important thing at present. After seeing Chi Jingyuan say this, Pei Zhuxuan was overjoyed, and quickly tapped on the phone with both hands enter:

"March next year? Then you should inform us soon. Did they say how they will make a comeback, or is it a digital single? Who are the new members? Yerin, or Go Eun? By the way, I... "

It's just that before she finished typing, a reply from Chi Jingyuan popped up on the screen:

"Stop talking, let's go to filming."

"Ai...you shoot you..."

Seeing the news that came out, Pei Zhuxuan almost cursed directly, her eyes were on fire and she couldn't hold back her right foot and stomped hard on the wooden floor with a muffled sound, the name of 'Chi Jingyuan' was displayed on the screen with her fingers The place knocked hard, as if it could hit him directly.

Why is this person so annoying, and half of the people have disappeared, so the filming is amazing?

If you are busy filming, why are you telling me about the things I care about the most at this time, and you are like this after your strong curiosity is lifted.

If Chi Jingyuan appeared in front of her now, Pei Zhuxuan swore that she would feel like kicking him and biting him a few times to relieve her anger.

Cut, you are still playing tricks, do you think I don't know that you are hanging on to my sister on purpose? My sister just didn't ask!

Pei Zhuxuan angrily returned the message that had already been entered, glared at the sender's name, gritted her teeth, and sat down with her mobile phone in a few steps, ignoring Jiang Seqi and the others who came over suspicious look.

Just sitting there in a daze for a few seconds, Pei Zhuxuan, who pretended to be calm, became more and more itchy, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.

Damn, I really want to know.

...

"How about it, isn't our new song good?"

Chi Jingyuan was sitting on the sofa in a restaurant box in Cheongdam-dong with his legs crossed, and he and Zheng Eundi were sending text messages to each other.

Apart from him, the other 8 members of EXO were sitting in twos and threes in the box, chatting and playing with their mobile phones, and a few of them got together and chatted about the gossip in the circle, the atmosphere was very good.

Today is November 27th, which is also Park Chanyeol’s birthday. In order to celebrate his birthday and reward EXO, who has been busy for almost a month for the comeback of the winter single, the nine members came out tonight to have a meal to celebrate. Ji Jingyuan He also asked for a little leave from the production team, but it didn't take long. After dinner, he had to rush back to the production team to continue filming.

Originally, the company thought about holding a birthday party for Park Chanyeol to give back and comfort the precarious Ai Li, but considering that his birthday is not a big one this year and the current bad Internet public opinion, the birthday party was put on hold, but After dinner in the evening, I will shoot a VCR of Park Chanyeol's birthday celebration and post it on the Internet, which can be regarded as showing some heart.

Not long after he walked into the private room and sat down, he received a text message from Zheng Eundi. Coincidentally, when he walked into the restaurant just now, the main song "Luv" of Apink's comeback was playing in the lobby. Yuan also sang a few lines.

"Do you remember the time we spent together?"

"L.O.V.E. luv."

Up to now, the sound of this song can still be faintly heard outside the door, which made him hum two more times.

After Apink performed the first comeback stage on "Music Bank" on the 21st, the company also released the sound source and MV on the 24th, and officially released the fifth mini-album "pink luv".

Thanks to Zheng Eunji's previous hype, Apink's comeback sound source has received a very good response after it was released. The title song "Luv" quickly became a hit song, and it has almost become a hit in just a few days The new trend of the peninsula can be heard in major audio-visual stores, restaurants and other places.

Moreover, the sound source performance is very explosive, and the stamina seems to be strong. In terms of this trend, it is estimated that it is very likely to win this week's Melon weekly crown.

Speaking of which, Apink hasn't won the weekly melon list yet.

"It's really nice. Actor Zheng didn't talk big this time." Chi Jingyuan didn't sneer, but expressed his blessings sincerely. He really has a lot of acquaintances in Apink, except Zheng Eundi, who is a good relative. There is also an ex-girlfriend, and the other members are also familiar.

He is actually very happy for them that they can make a big show in their comeback this time.

The day before yesterday Chi Jingyuan took the time to watch the MV and stage of Apink's title song "Luv". .

Especially the style of Apink's return this time has been greatly adjusted. The previous pure style has changed a lot towards light and familiar in this album, and it has been digested very well. In the MV of "Luv", almost every member's The make-up is very good-looking, and the mature Son Na-eun looks very eye-catching, and even Zheng Eun-ji put away her big mouth and started to act like a lady.

If you compare it, their overall makeup is really much better than red velvet's comeback look.

The song and style makeup are very good, but Chi Jingyuan thinks that the choreography is one of the shortcomings. He thinks that the choreography of the song "Luv" is too simple, just like radio gymnastics, and there are a lot of repetitive movements in the middle. I don't feel very attentive.

However, the flaws do not hide their strengths. Judging from the momentum of the first two days of their comeback, Apink's results this time are even more amazing than the previous two. Just like what Zheng Endi said before, they are likely to become a big trend.

"Kkkkk look at what you said, when did I brag? By the way, isn't Na Eun's new look very beautiful this time around? (raise eyebrows)"

It can be seen that Zheng Eundi was in a good mood because of the good response to her comeback, and took the initiative to attack. After seeing her hint, Chi Jingyuan also saw the appearance of Sun Naen's comeback this time.

It's really pretty, and it feels a lot more mature.

"Let's see who to compare with. Of course she is beautiful compared to you."

"Axi, you are really %..."

Zheng Eundi can always be choked up in his throat by Chi Jingyuan's words. He obviously wanted to use Sun Naen to tease him, but he vomited himself again unexpectedly.

Did not recognize it and laughed out loud, Chi Jingyuan sent another message: "By the way, why didn't you go to MAMA this year?"

The attendance and performers of the MAMA Awards Ceremony on December 3 have been announced online, but the ensuing controversy is ubiquitous.

As for boy groups, because the number of votes for winner in the Rookie Award vote suddenly increased strangely in early November, while the number of votes for other groups such as Got7 decreased as a whole, this led to online guesses that the organizers secretly manipulated votes, even if Mnet conducted He gave a positive response, saying that there is no such thing as ticket making, but he still couldn't stop the heated discussions.

Anyway, MAMA has a bad reputation in this area, so don't worry if there are too many lice.

Girls’ Generation and 2NE1, who used to be the pillars of the girl group, were absent from the awards ceremony due to schedule issues. Apink, the most popular among the three generations of girl groups this year, was also not among the guests, which made many fans feel a little puzzled .

"Don't mention it, why didn't you win the prize? Let me tell you that the organizer of MAMA is really disgusting..."

"Our Apink's performance this year is so good, these will not get the best girl group..."

"The big prize is definitely not for us, whoever wants to go, I don't want to serve you..."

As soon as Zheng Endi mentioned this, he immediately became upset, and complained bitterly to Chi Jingyuan, his words were full of dissatisfaction with the organizer.

Of course, she was not worried about Chi Jingyuan's secrecy, and sent a long message to complain.

But what she said is also reasonable. This year, Girls’ Generation has declined significantly, 2NE1 has a big scandal, and the overall decline of the second-generation girl groups. Among the three-generation girl groups, the most eye-catching ones are sistar and APink, and the former has a better sound source. There are a lot of awards, but the latter's sales and loyalty are stronger. The women's group awards should be born in these two girl groups.

Add at most a girl's day that exploded at the beginning of the year.

Didn't expect that Apink was not selected, or did the public relations get a heavyweight award?

Since it is determined that the probability of winning the prize is not high, it is fine to simply not go.

Although EXO is highly valued by the organizers, this time MAMA is still a strong contender for the grand prize, but as a close relative, Chi Jingyuan is of course on the side of actor Zheng at this time. He followed Zheng Eundi and sprayed a few words on Mnet with righteous indignation, Zheng Endi saw the pretentious performance of yin and yang strangeness directly, and couldn't hold back and directly led him to scold him.

"Jing Yuan, come here quickly and take a photo for certification."

After chatting for a while, Chi Jingyuan shook his head with a smile, and then Jin Junmian called him over there.

He put the phone back in his bag, stood up and ran over quickly:

"coming."

For idol groups, it is much more important to take photos for members' birthday than to eat.

After the photos were taken, the dinner party started. Park Chanyeol, who celebrated his birthday today, was obviously in a good mood. In addition, he will be attending MAMA and making his official comeback soon. All the members are also in a good mood.

...

On December 2nd, EXO9 members followed the team and got on the flight towards Hong Kong Island International Airport, officially starting the itinerary for this year's MAMA Awards Ceremony.
