Peninsula Asteroid

The manuscript of this well-known music critic has been highly praised in the forum. Most of Ai Li was very comfortable with the rainbow fart of this whole article, and they all left comments and likes below, and many passers-by did not pass by after seeing it. I think this review is very good, because the quality of EXO's album this time is visible to the naked eye.

After all, the quality of music and albums, as well as the amazing popularity are here. Except for a small number of people who are fighting against the public for gimmicks, most of the musicians and audiences’ music reviews are very positive. A lot of news articles are written as if the writers received SM's public relations fees uniformly, and the articles are full of praise.

In addition, many ordinary fans and listeners who simply listen to songs have also expressed their views:

"That's very good. EXO's comebacks this year are really amazing. The first "Call me baby" is already amazing. I really like this song. This song is also recognized as the most handsome makeup One of the main hits is a song that can compete with "Roar" for the best dance song. The level of an album based on "CMB" alone is already very high. I didn't expect that the quality of every song released in the next few months The height is scary, it's really a bit outrageous."

"Indeed, if you look carefully, this album is really full of titles. The arrangement of songs is really too extravagant. I listened to the latest comeback yesterday. It is also an album of three generations of boy groups. In other words, the other included songs also feel perfunctory without any bright spots.

But this is actually the normal state of many small and medium-sized boy groups nowadays. Compared with EXO's album, from music, to choreography, to style concept, to expressiveness and makeup, every aspect is really perfect. It's a dimensionality reduction blow, and it feels like it's not on the same level at all. "

"There is no doubt about the quality of XO's regular 2. I haven't heard much of the albums of the ancient boy group, but in terms of the songs I have listened to in the past ten years, this album should be the boy group. The one with the highest comprehensive level.

In addition, although bigbang has never played EXO, the quality of their songs this year is also very high. I like "loser" and "bangbangbang" very much, and "sober" that was released today. If the quality of the follow-up songs is not good , I’ll rank them second... Why do you feel that Kpop is so strange this year? I haven’t seen a few popular girl groups, but the boy groups are ridiculously strong. What about the promised girl group prosperity? "

"It's not that the boy group is too strong, but that EXO and Bigbang are too strong, don't get confused, they are a boy group, but they are not a boy group."

"I'm actually quite indifferent to the analysis of these music reviews. I basically never pay attention to the style and concept of any idol group. I only care about whether the song is good or not. I think this is the most basic, and everything else is established. In terms of the quality of the songs. And this "EXO-L" is really good, every song is very good, the newly released "if you" is simply the song of my life... This album completely refreshed my understanding of boy groups The perception and senses of EXO are really amazing."

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Seeing the last message from a fan of an unknown boy group, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help laughing.

Every time I come back to release a song, or have a stage performance, I go online to read comments about my songs, achievements, appearance, and rainbow farts. This is also a very characteristic and attractive thing about the idol profession.

If it's all attacks and slanders, it's natural to feel depressed and wish to be depressed.

But if it's all praise and boasting about your own comments, you will naturally feel very happy.

The release of the official second album this time belongs to the latter. He has been surfing the webpage for a long time just now. He glanced at some music forums and fan clubs quietly. Many passers-by and audience who didn't pay much attention and commented on it ended up saying a few good things.

Among them, in the entire EXO, he has the highest evaluation. All kinds of rainbow farts can be seen everywhere, and he himself is generally tired and crooked, smiling and looking down.

Because of this feeling, it is really sour.

Today is the 2nd. The official second album "EXO-L" has been released for two days. At the same time, both music source and sales charts dominate the charts. At the moment, Chi Jingyuan is sitting in the nanny car with the members On the way, I am going to the LOTTE Hotel in Mapo District, and I am going to participate in the first signing event of the second series.

The car was relatively quiet at this time, only Bian Baekhyun in the back row was discussing the game with Park Chanyeol in a low voice, and everyone else was playing with their mobile phones or closing their eyes for rest.

Logged in to a music forum with a relatively high number of views, glanced at it, and casually clicked on the comment post on XO's second album posted by that very popular music critic. Chi Jingyuan took a rough look.

Still, the rainbow fart didn’t have much nutrition. After all, the quality of the second series can be seen with a slightly normal aesthetic. However, the sales data he listed is very interesting. I didn’t pay much attention to it before, but now I see it. The group accounts for half of the entire sales market, which is indeed a little exaggerated.

However, it has been obvious since the reprint of the original series of the regular series reached one million sales in 2013 and broke the record.

The birth of EXO has obviously promoted the sales of the entire KPOP physical album. With these comebacks this year, it can be predicted that the sales in 2015 will be much higher than last year, and the ones who benefit the most are EXO. , as well as all companies and groups in the entire music industry.

Although they may not accept this love...

In addition, the concepts of 'TOP' and 'climbing to the top' mentioned by this music critic are actually quite interesting, and Chi Jingyuan can often see it in fan discussions in private sometimes.

This concept is actually quite vague. There is actually no specific statement in the peninsula music industry, and there is no official certification. It can even be said that there is no such thing as "climbing to the top". The top group of each era is generally called the "TOP" group, and the "top group" is mostly the communication and sayings in the fan circle.

Generally, it refers to the most powerful male and female idol group of each generation, which can fully represent the culture and spirit of this generation of Kpop groups. All data surpass the same generation. More than the previous generation of 'Top' regiment, that is to climb to the top, but also to succeed.

EXO was originally in the absolute leading position among all the three generations of boy groups, but this year in the head-to-head competition, all the statistics surpassed or crushed the previous generation of TOP group bigbang. Some fans put forward the rhetoric of 'climbing to the top'.

Although this word sounds very powerful, it is a pity that it has no real benefits. After all, regardless of whether it has this title or not, EXO is now the well-deserved number one boy group in Kpop, and its TOP status is beyond doubt.

In fact, they were already a TOP group last year, but the previous TOP data with other groups, bigbang, etc. did not pull out or were not as good, and a lot of things happened in the second half of the year, which made the momentum a lot weaker. This year, I just brought these things back again, and at the same time, it was greatly improved.

However, for those who don't know much about it, it does sound a lot higher, and when the Allies brag and battle with other people, they will also appear to be more comfortable.

"Yo no crap..."

"...Now? I see."

While watching the news, Li Chenghuan, the manager of the front co-pilot, suddenly received a call. After a short communication, he put down the phone and immediately explained to the driver: "Slow down, don't rush to the scene now."

The driver did not ask the reason, nodded and followed suit immediately.

"I just received a call from the company. The LOTTE Plaza where we are planning to hold the signing event is now flooded with too many people, causing traffic congestion and complete congestion. Now we can't stand at all."

Lee Seung-hwan turned his head, smiled wryly at the members who looked at him curiously, and began to explain: "Because there are too many people, it also increases the safety hazard. The police over there have stepped in to maintain order. According to the situation, discuss with the company whether the signing event should continue."

"Jinija? Is that an exaggeration? How many people are here?"

"If the signing meeting is not held, can we go back and rest?"

As soon as these words came out, the nanny's car, which had been quiet just now, immediately became active, and several people chattered about the exit.

"I don't know the exact number of people, but there are at least tens of thousands of people. You can look online. There should be some Reuters pictures on SNS."

Li Chenghuan ignored a few people who were eager to get off work after hearing it, waved his hand to signal them to watch online, and then turned around.

Chi Jingyuan took advantage of the trend to search, and soon saw many SNS and pictures posted by people at the scene, and some self-media also quoted and reposted at a very fast speed.

Just click on a few pictures, the entire LOTTE square in the picture has been crowded with endless crowds. There was a very empty area in front of the square for holding some activities, but at this time, the white stone floor has already been seen. There is less than a tiny gap, and at a glance, you can only see crowds of people jostling shoulder to shoulder, and densely packed heads.

Seeing this scene, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help thinking of the shots of sardines in the ocean that he had seen before, and there was a similarity between the two.

Not only Lotte Square, but also the road at the gate, and even the opposite side of the road are already full of people of all kinds, and the windows on the second and third floors of some ground-floor stores on the opposite side have been opened directly, and many people are sitting on them , looking at the excitement in front of him in amazement.

A few photos give people the feeling: crowded, crowded, and chaotic.

"Are there so many people?"

"It's too exaggerated, I feel like we won't be able to get in even if we are there..."

A few exclamations came from the side, obviously other people also saw the Reuters photos of the scene.

Looking at the blackness in the photo, Chi Jingyuan was amazed at the very oppressive crowd.

Although this scene is not the first time EXO has encountered this situation, it has also encountered this situation in several signings during the peak period of "Roar".

Since the release of the first single album in March this year, EXO has not held a signing event. Even though fans have appealed countless times under SM's account, the company has remained silent as if they hadn't seen it. SM will The hunger formed by this kind of appeal is well handled.

It lasted until the official second album was officially released, and today's event is EXO's first live signing event since its comeback this year.

The enthusiasm of the fans has long been irrepressible, and EXO's burgeoning popularity has also attracted many passers-by to watch, which directly caused the dense flow of people and traffic jams, which were even more exaggerated than in the "Roar" period.

The number of places for EXO's signing event is very limited. Only those who buy specific albums at specific audio-visual stores have a chance to win the signing tickets. The number is not many, and 99% of those present have no seats. Yes, we're just here to join in the excitement and take a look at the most popular idol.

"Wait a minute, see the news over there..." Li Chenghuan was also a little helpless when the planned things were disrupted by the exchange of things. After the nanny car found a place to stop, he sighed and confessed. .

The wait lasted for more than an hour, already exceeding the originally scheduled time for the EXO signing event. After the disappointment of EXO not showing up when the time came, and the presence of the police to maintain order and disperse the crowd, the situation at the scene improved a bit, although There are still a lot of people, but at least it is not as big of a security risk as before.

Under such circumstances, Chi Jingyuan and the others arrived at the scene after receiving the notification, instantly detonating the atmosphere of the scene and the enthusiasm of the fans. Under the desperate escort of assistants and security guards, they broke through the crowd, Arched into the building on Lotte Square.

...

"Aniha Sai..."

Chi Jingyuan sat on the signing seat, looked at a soft-looking young girl who walked in front of him, and spoke with a smile.

Although it was nearly an hour late, the fans at the signing site not only did not have any dissatisfaction, but were still enthusiastic and scary. After arriving at the scene, EXO prepared as quickly as possible and immediately started the activity.

First, I sincerely apologized to all fans for being late, ended the chat session, played a few small games, performed a few small shows, and then officially started the signing that all fans are most looking forward to.

"Hello, Oppa!"

This soft, youthful female fan's voice was a bit squeamish. When she saw Chi Jingyuan, she immediately grinned and said enthusiastically, "This time Oppa is not a light-colored concept." ?"

"En." Chi Jingyuan took her album and nodded.

She was talking about this album, Chi Jingyuan's main style and concept are light-colored.

"It really matches Ouba too well!" The girl's eyes almost overflowed with brilliance, and she stared at Chi Jingyuan without blinking.

"Thanks, um, what's your name?"

"Yunhui, Jin Yunhui."

"Okay, Yun Hui." Chi Jingyuan responded, and immediately signed the album after hearing it.

"Ah, Oppa called my name! What to do! Woooooo, Oppa called my name!"

Jin Yunhui felt like getting an electric shock when she heard it. She covered her face with her hands and shook her head: "I really like Oppa's voice. I have listened to all of Oppa's parts. I did "if you" this time. Ouba's voice is really too devoted, I like it so much, I almost cried..."

Even ordinary people can't help but look at them differently after seeing popular idols, not to mention these loyal fans who have long regarded Chi Jingyuan and the others as idols. See all kinds of fans who are excited and frenzied, or lose their composure, or even can't speak, and can feel their enthusiasm and love at close range.

Chi Jingyuan has long been used to this, and he can respond to and respond to the various feelings of these female fans very well. He listened carefully to the other party's confession of love, and after sincerely expressing his gratitude, he smiled and hit the other party With a slap, this little fan went to the next person with satisfaction and nostalgia.

"Yuan xi, I heard that you are very strong, and I am also very strong, can you compare me with your wrist?"

The next fan made a request with great anticipation. Her intention to make physical contact with the idol is known to all.

"This is not acceptable."

At this time, the assistant who had been staring at the side immediately came up to stop him. SM Company still has strict management on the contact between its idols and fans at the signing event. Compared with some other companies, they will allow idols to be open to fans during the signing. For many intimate interactions, SM is very repulsive to physical contact, and this kind of intimate handshake is not allowed.

Chi Jingyuan didn't shy away from this. Seeing the disappointed girl in front of him, he smiled and comforted him: "If you can't hold hands, use your wrists. You can also try it... You may not believe it if you tell me. , my strength is at the top of the entire XO."

"..." The female fan saw that Chi Jingyuan stopped the assistant and offered to use his wrists to compete. Hearing him laughing and talking about some interesting stories about wrestling with other members, the disappointment just now was swept away. , looked at him very moved.

Then in the competition of strength, before the temperature of the body surface at the time of wrist contact was clearly felt, he lost instantly. Chi Jingyuan didn't release any water, and knocked out the opponent in an instant.

But she was very satisfied, took the album, kept stroking her wrist and left reluctantly.

"Ouba, I brought a bouquet of flowers specially for you."

"Thank you very much, very beautiful."

Chi Jingyuan squinted and glanced at the two wrapped roses held by the next fan, and happily took them.

It's just that before he asked the other party's name just after receiving it, the female fan immediately changed her words, smiling expectantly and a little cunningly: "Ouba, I want you to return the flowers to me again."

Looking at the blinking eyes of the other party, Chi Jingyuan immediately understood the other party's thoughts, glanced at the rose in his hand, and asked with a smile: "May I know your name?"

"My name is Enxi, Song Enxi."

Chi Jingyuan nodded, and specially took out one of the two roses in his hand and put it beside him, and then passed the other one over: "Two flowers, half for each person."

"Ah, Ouba gave me flowers." Song Enxi took the roses with great joy, couldn't help herself, and then looked at Chi Jingyuan very seriously: "I will definitely keep them well."

"Me too." Chi Jingyuan gave her a high five and made a promise.

"Aniha, Saiyo..."

After signing a few more fans, the next girl who walked up to her greeted her, and Chi Jingyuan could tell that she was not a local, and her Korean was very average.

"Aren't you from the peninsula?" He blinked his eyes and slowed down his speech.

"Nai, I'm from Xia Guo." After listening to it twice, the female fan barely understood Chi Jingyuan's words, and expressed her origin in a stumbling manner.

"Are you a fan of Xia Guo, then use Chinese." After hearing this, Chi Jingyuan switched languages ​​naturally, took the album in the other party's hand with a smile, put it in front of him, but did not rush to sign it, but took the initiative Exchange a few words: "What's your name, where are you from?"

"My name is Zhang Yijuan, and I'm from Jiangcheng." Hearing the familiar language, the female fan obviously relaxed a lot. After answering reflexively, she looked at Chi Jingyuan in surprise: "Ouba speaks Chinese really well." It’s very good, and I feel that Mandarin is more standard than mine.”

"I went to school there, fans should know about it." Chi Jingyuan was a little helpless after hearing this: "And why can you pronounce 'Ouba' in Chinese, and just call him brother? "

"I couldn't believe it before, hehe..." Zhang Yijuan smiled a little embarrassedly: "I think Ouba is a little closer, it's weird to call him brother."

"Did you come to the peninsula for tourism?"

"No, it's the Obamas who wanted to come and see XO, but they got a lottery for autographs..."

"The number of signings is not easy to draw. How many tickets did you buy?"

"I bought less, I only bought 5, but luck is better..."

"Then it is really destined for us to meet here... Also, 5 photos is really a lot, thank you very much for your support..."

"I actually wanted to buy some more at the time... By the way, Jingyuan Ouba, I heard that you like Pokémon very much, so I bought a special gift for you..." She said, while pulling He took out a small gift, a small headband with Pikachu ears, which looked cute.

"Wow, thank you." It wasn't too expensive, and Chi Jingyuan took it without any burden, and put it on his head without any hesitation. After straightening the left and right sides, he looked at the other side and blinked expectantly: " How about it?"

"It's so handsome and cute!"

Seeing Chi Jingyuan put on this headband very naturally, and then looking at her smiling face, Zhang Yijuan felt her whole heart tremble. The mixed emotions of excitement and emotion were crazily used in her heart, and she was a little indescribably happy. Come on.

After seeing off the mainland female fan who came from afar, Chi Jingyuan did not take off the Pikachu headband, and continued to sign autographs and communicate with the fans who came in front of him next.

When the signing meeting was coming to an end, a female fan who looked a little older, about 20 generations, appeared in front of Chi Jingyuan.

"I'm a new fan this year, and I haven't paid much attention to Kpop idol groups before, but this year XO is so popular, I can't help falling in love with the song.

"Yuan is really good, XO is also really good, never liked a boy group like this."

"...Kang Sang Mita."

This female fan was relatively calm at first, but after chatting with Chi Jingyuan for a few words, she quickly became more talkative, and she took the initiative to tell him about her energy for falling in love with EXO, and Chi Jingyuan also While signing, while echoing.

While talking, this young lady didn't know what to think of, suddenly became a little depressed, looked at Chi Jingyuan hesitated, and said:

"But EXO has debuted for more than three years, it's too late to fall in love with you guys now... I heard that XO was very difficult when they first debuted. Baekhyun’s birthday party has less than ten people attending...every time I look at the sad material of your debut, I always feel sad because I didn’t have a meal at the beginning, and I feel very sad that I didn’t walk with XO Pity."

From the depressed tone of the other party, Chi Jingyuan clearly felt the sincere and pure feelings in this fan's heart.

Because the meal was too late, I felt sad that I didn't like them as soon as they debuted. This kind of support and love made Chi Jingyuan feel a little flattered and heavy.

He looked at the young lady in front of him, chuckled, pursed his lips and said sincerely: "You really don't have to feel sorry for not being with us all the way, even if you just paid attention to XO today, it's not too late .”

His smile is sunny, and the Pikachu ears on his head are very conspicuous and playful, but his eyes are very serious:

"Because the day you fall in love with XO is also the day we debut for you."
