Peninsula Asteroid

EXO's winter special comeback showcase today is arranged at Lotte World's Garden Stage theater. SM has already screened out the places for the show through various channels. Thousands of fans have already been waiting under the stage, and it is gradually darkening. Under the sky, thousands of Eili sticks shining with silver light are extremely eye-catching.

Due to the venue problem, the number of spectators who can come to the scene is not very large, less than 2,000 people are of course a drop in the bucket compared to EXO's huge fan base, but today's showcase is not only to show the comeback, but also to be with V With the live cooperation, the entire showcase will be broadcast live on V APP, attracting more fans and users for EXO and V APP.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, amidst the screams of the fans, EXO officially appeared on the stage. The song "boy with luv" ignited the atmosphere of the audience. After the stage ended, the field manager quickly moved ten stools up. The people immediately sat in a row and entered the chat session.

There are not many stages today, and most of them are actually interacting and chatting.

"Every time I say a word, I feel very intense here. The voices of fans are really great." The host of today's showcase is Wu Jingyan, who is an announcer. In the winter, she shows off her figure in a hip skirt. Sitting next to him, he enthusiastically said his lines: "It really deserves to be the world's most popular boy group EXO. Its popularity has conquered all the fans. It's been a very fulfilling year..."

"We reviewed and sorted out all the very meaningful itineraries of EXO in 2015 this year, and sorted out the relevant keywords. Let's talk while watching...Please look at the big screen!"

Following Wu Jingyan's hosting, Chi Jingyuan looked back at the big screen behind him, and there were many white entries on the black screen, each of which could represent a glorious history of EXO this year.

# call me baby, # boy with luv, # EXO-L, # one million, # billboard, # second tour, etc., and in the middle # sing for you.

Although the rehearsal has already been done in the background, Chi Jingyuan still feels a little emotional when he sees each entry that can reflect a certain event again.

I have done so many things this year...

"...Then Yuan xi, how do you feel about today?"

After the first few members finished speaking, it was Chi Jingyuan's turn. Wu Jingyan looked at him with a smile and asked after listening to the pleasant cheers from below.

"If you think about it..."

Chi Jingyuan held the microphone and pondered for a while.

This year is an extremely brilliant year for EXO's career. After experiencing members falling in love, many people quit the group, and the prospects were bleak. After 2015, everyone looked down on them. The adverse effect of changing two into nine has officially become the TOP boy group of this generation.

Chi Jingyuan's own popularity has also risen accordingly, and he still firmly maintains the TOP position in the team. He is said to be the most popular male idol in the peninsula. In fact, not many people have objections. Even if there are some recent black fans, It's just a reluctant rebuttal, at most, add "one of" to this title.

However, this kind of celebratory speech has been made many times this year. Immediately, some members in front of them also expressed their feelings about this year's success. When Chi Jingyuan came here, he was no longer excited about it. a different feeling.

"My feeling right now is..." He glanced back at the entry on the big screen, then looked at the fans below and said seriously: "I feel that time flies really fast, in the blink of an eye I'm about to debut It’s been four years. Now that I think about it when I first joined the company and the group, many memories are still very clear. I also remember very clearly some of the itinerary after my debut... Now I am almost 23 years old, and I just joined the school some time ago The end-of-year exams, and next year I will be graduating soon... I feel like I have not been admitted to university for long."

"Hahaha..." Hearing the last line of ridicule, the fans below laughed.

"Ah, it really went by so fast..." Finally, Chi Jingyuan looked at the dim sky and sighed sincerely.

This is not a prepared line, it is indeed his real thought at this time.

Looking back, the day I joined SM seems like yesterday, but looking at everything in front of me, four years have passed in a flash. He has also changed from a boy who likes to sing and dance, and finally got permission from his family to come out and hope to go on stage. The most popular TOP idol, no matter how you evaluate it, the experience and things you have encountered in the past few years are wonderful.

I met a lot of friends, met a lot of things, developed a good impression of some people, and was liked by many people.

But speaking of it, there is actually a bit of a fly in the ointment, he has not had a serious dating partner until now.

It's actually quite a pity...

Chi Jingyuan's emotions seemed to have affected several other members. After hearing his words, many people felt a little bit of sympathy. The next few people also lamented the passing of time, especially the eldest brother Jin Minxi , already twenty-six or seven years old, he will go to military service in a few years.

But after all, it was a showcase and not a wine table. The scene and atmosphere were not suitable for them to lament the time here. Soon, several people cheered up and began to focus on their work.

More than an hour later, amidst the cheerful music and singing of "Eccentricity", today's showcase officially ended. Feeling the enthusiastic atmosphere of the audience and the fans' swaying bodies and smiling faces, Chi Jingyuan also smiled happily. nod.

The song "Eccentricity" is really cheerful. It is a song that makes people happy after listening to it. Compared with "Sing for You" in this winter special, he actually prefers this song.

"Brother, how are you doing?"

After saying goodbye to the audience and returning backstage, Park Chanyeol asked directly to his manager.

What he asked was the data of the live broadcast of the showcase. This brother has always been very concerned about the live broadcast.

"Don't be so anxious, drink some water first." The manager smiled and beckoned, took a few bottles of drinks and handed them over. After feeling that the other members looked over, he smiled and clapped his hands. He was very satisfied and said loudly: "Nearly two million viewers watched the whole process, and the number of likes exceeded 90 million, which is the highest live broadcast data of V APP so far."

"Wow!"

"Nice!"

Several members screamed excitedly when they heard it.

This data is really scary. Today’s V APP still has many problems. The UI is stupid and inconvenient. law continuation point.

There are anti-human settings everywhere.

But still pretty hot.

V LIVE, a live streaming app, has developed rapidly since its launch in September. Most of the idol groups in the peninsula have opened accounts on it to broadcast live. It has become another place for artists to expose and attract fans besides TV stations.

To be honest, EXO's contribution in publicity is still very large.

Today's successful showcase gave a good start to this comeback, and made the entire EXO team very excited. The brothers and Chi Jingyuan have already started discussing where to eat:

"Would you like to find a place to celebrate?"

"I have to go to SBS to record a program later, how can I have time?"

"Go back to order supper at night. The barbecue you ordered last time was quite delicious. By the way, I can play computer or board games..." Chi Jingyuan took a sip of his drink and made a comment, but added later One sentence: "But I can't sleep too late, I have to get up early tomorrow to record "Yin Yin""

"Yi~ Are you showing off?"

…………

"...Today's recording is about so many things. The focus of the next work is to prepare for the Christmas special. Christmas on the 25th happens to be Golden Day, and it is also the time for our "Yinyin" to be broadcast."

"So this year's last special is also very important, and we have already confirmed artist contracts with several brokerage companies..."

On December 11th, a group of staff members and two MCs in the program office of KBS "Music Bank" were having a meeting. PD Han Jingzhe was introducing in detail today and the work of recording the last two episodes in 2015.

Christmas is one of the most important festivals for the peninsula. Basically, at that time, all the programs broadcast on the two days before and after Christmas will have a special episode.

Chi Jingyuan listened carefully to the PD's introduction, and looked at the long list of artists scheduled to appear in the "Christmas Special" displayed on the information in his hand, such as EXO, CNBLUE, infinite, Apink, red velvet, twice, Gfrien, etc., there are The veteran first-line group also has many newcomers with good results. It is really luxurious, not inferior to many platter concerts. It can be seen that the program group still attaches great importance to this last program of this year.

At the end, he looked at the two MCs Ji Jingyuan and Pei Zhuxuan sitting next to him, and said: "When the time comes, Jingyuan, you and Irene, the two MCs, will also have a joint stage. For the specific stage planning, we will cooperate with your company. We have already communicated, you two take advantage of the recent opportunity to hurry up and practice, so that you can communicate by yourself."

The two MCs are the magic weapon for the ratings of "Music Bank" today. Of course, the program group cannot waste it.

"..."

Hearing this, Chi Jingyuan and Pei Zhuxuan who were sitting next to each other raised their heads, turned to look at each other at the same time, then quickly looked at PD Han Jingzhe together, and nodded:

"I see."

"OK."

After the meeting, Chi Jingyuan and Pei Zhuxuan left the meeting room and went to work, reviewing scripts, rehearsing in advance, communicating with guests and so on.

Compared to the previous issue where one person was doing these things alone, Chi Jingyuan still clearly felt that today's work was much more relaxed and comfortable than before, and the time passed quickly, and soon it was time for lunch. Jing Yuan and Pei Zhuxuan sat together on the sofa in the waiting room and ate at the table in front of them, while their manager sat in the corner and ate together silently.

Lunch is provided by the program group, bibimbap, ramen, and Chinese set menu are optional, which is quite rich.

The manager ate relatively quickly. After two quick bites, he was almost done eating. He said hello and went out. He either went to the bathroom or smoked.

After the manager went out, the lounge seemed a little quiet, only the slight sound of chewing could be heard continuously. Chi Jingyuan watched the news on his mobile phone while eating. After he picked up the last piece of meat on the plate and fed it into his mouth, , suddenly stretched out a pair of chopsticks from the side, picked up several pieces of pot meat in succession, and Pei Zhuxuan's voice came at the same time:

"This is for you to eat..."

Attracted by Chi Jingyuan, he propped his cheeks and turned his head to look at her. Pei Zhuxuan noticed that he didn't turn his head. He stared at the bowl in front of him and said casually: "These things are too hot. I'm doing body work recently. Management, can't eat."

"You still need body management?" Chi Jingyuan chewed what was in his mouth, and scanned her figure wrapped in a coat up and down, and finally stopped at the tied golden braid and the clear side face.

Pei Zhuxuan ate in small bites, and said very naturally: "Yeah, I still don't look slender enough for the camera."

"..."

Glancing at the young lady's puffed cheeks and her glossy lips, Chi Jingyuan nodded without persuading him, and directly fed the meat that the other party had just picked up into his mouth.

The two of them sat together and ate their meal quietly, they would hold their chopsticks from time to time, and then they chatted in a low voice, the atmosphere was warm.

Although Chi Jingyuan initiated the invitation two days ago, the two of them didn't have a chance to have dinner together these days because of their busy schedule. Today they got together because of "Music Bank".

Although the location may be a bit wrong, but the people are right.

"The online reviews of Joy and Lu Xingcai's "We Got Married" are quite good. After hearing what you said last time, I went to watch two episodes. Both of them performed very well."

After eating for a while, Chi Jingyuan seemed to remember something, put down his phone and casually said, "What's your situation now?"

"It should be dating, right..."

Speaking of this, Pei Zhuxuan's chopsticks couldn't help but paused, lightly licked the corners of her mouth and then pressed together, then said in a slightly hesitant tone: "I want to find a time to talk to her."

"About what?"

"..."

The young lady gave Chi Jingyuan a blank look, she couldn't believe that this man didn't know what he was going to talk about.

Chi Jingyuan glanced aside at Pei Zhuxuan, feeling a little amused.

You don’t think Park Sooyoung is the only one in your group, do you think you are not dating in the eyes of your members?

And group members are in love with something like this, other members gossip about it, listen to the story and give it as a reference, but it's really not suitable to intervene, as it will cause resentment.

When EXO debuted in 2012, as far as Ji Jingyuan knew, several members had found female tickets and fell in love. The leader Kim Junmyeon also knew it well, but he never said anything. Take the initiative to help cover.

Although there may be reasons why he himself fell in love with this, but it is more because he understands some of them very well.

However, Pei Zhuxuan is the captain herself, and I heard that she still has some actual power. She has her own responsibilities and style of doing things. Naturally, Chi Jingyuan won't persuade her, it's not a big deal anyway.

This topic did not affect the atmosphere at the dinner table. After eating and chatting, when the plate bottomed out after a few minutes, Pei Zhuxuan asked suddenly: "By the way, didn't you come back? Why didn't the first stage be held in today's "" "Sound Silver", but tomorrow's "Music Center"?"

"Who knows, the company arranged it."

Chi Jingyuan shrugged and said it didn't matter: "Anyway, I won't play a few songs in this Winter Contest, and I won't be able to participate in the later ones..."

"That's right, you are going to join the filming group... Well, I have listened to your winter special this time, and I have listened to the two main songs "Sing for you" and "Eccentricity" several times..."

"Huh?" He raised an eyebrow.

The young lady had finished eating by now, so she took out a wet tissue from the side and handed it over to Chi Jingyuan first, then took one and wiped her mouth gently, holding a pure white tissue with her little hand and dabbing a few on the corner of her mouth Next, the movements are gentle and elegant, and she looks a little provocative. At the same time, she doesn't look this way, but said with some meaning:

"But I feel...it's not as good as last year's."

Chi Jingyuan took the tissue to wipe his mouth, looked at her airy appearance, and burst out laughing:

"Of course."

...

The first stage of EXO's comeback winter special is on MBC's "Music Center" on the 12th. Although the resources and treatment of the winter special are not as good as the regular album, they still attach great importance to the songs on the first stage. Early in the morning Get up and go to the TV station.

"Music Center" was once the most valuable, one of the "Singing Song Programs of the Three Major TV Stations", but now it feels that it is not as good as it used to be.

I don't know what the program team thinks, "Music Center" underwent a major revision in November this year, directly canceling the "one ranking system". awarded one.

That is to say, "In the Sound" has changed from a singing show to a pure stage performance.

This is not the first time that "Music Center" has done this. They canceled the ranking in 2006, and only resumed it in 2013. Now they canceled it again, highlighting a swing and inconsistency.

The statement of the MBC Variety Headquarters this time is roughly like this: "Because the major charts already have rankings, it is meaningless for us to make any rankings and one place. If we cancel the rankings, we and the guests can pay more attention to stage performances. , increasing content enrichment and program value.”

It is said so, but it is not the case. The continuous decline in ratings is the most obvious proof.

The stage of idol guests will not be more exciting and effective because you don't engage in rankings, and it may even be less serious because you don't engage in rankings and the ratings become lower.

Chi Jingyuan thinks that this "Music Center" will be changed sooner or later. Originally, this kind of song playing program is aimed at Kpop fans. Fans of different groups like the whole second and second the most. Watching and playing songs is to see the ranking of idols and the last one, and then they should blow and blow, and then show off and scold each other, and so on.

And people in the peninsula love all kinds of rankings. When they have nothing to do, they like to do all kinds of "Most Popular Female Idol", "Male Idol I Want to Date Most", "When you arrive at the end of the subway, the idol you most want to be there Waiting for you' and other inexplicable lists.

If you don’t make rankings or charts for a song-playing show, is that still called “playing songs”? There will definitely be fewer people watching.

But in this way, it casts the last legendary title in the history of IU Li Zhien's "Music Center".

At the same time, for the revision, the program team made a lot of changes. First of all, all three regular MCs got off the car. Among them were Shinee Minho and Kim Yerin who Ji Jingyuan knew very well. These two served as regular MCs in May and only worked for six It took me a month to get out of the car, it was good that Choi Minho didn't lack for announcements, but Kim Yerin was a little unlucky.

After the EXO group came to MBC, they immediately started working. Because of their status and popularity, there must be many supporting links such as interviews. After a while, two new MCs came to their lounge Start communicating about work today.

Chi Jingyuan noticed keenly that the two MCs often looked at him after they came in, with some indescribable meaning in their eyes.

After the previous three MCs got off the bus, the program team also changed their normal routine. Instead of using idols as MCs, they found two young actors, actress Kim Sae-ron and rookie actor Kim Min-jae.

And I don't know if it is the request of the program group, since I took office. The styles of these two actor MC hosts, and some interactions are visible to the naked eye. They are imitating the CP of "Yinyin". With ambiguous lines and sweet interactions as the main focus, they seem to want to replicate the current ratings miracle of "Music Bank". .

It's a pity that the appearance is a little bit worse. Compared with Chi Jingyuan and Pei Zhuxuan, these two people have a bit of a monkey version, and the two of them don't have that kind of tacit understanding, so every interaction seems to be It was deliberate and embarrassing, and couldn't give the audience that sweet feeling of wanting to knock. Not only did it not help the ratings much after a month, but it was also ridiculed by many Yinyin CP fans on the Internet.

When seeing these comments on the Internet, Chi Jingyuan was actually quite happy.

Do you really think that 'boy group face' is just a random title? The effect of just finding a newcomer actor and thinking of me?

joke……

By the way, so is Pei Zhuxuan.

After today's "Music Center" ended, the EXO troupe returned to the company for a short rest before rushing to Incheon International Airport. They took a flight overnight to Xiaguo Jinling to prepare for the next day's concert.

The scheduled concert schedule for EXO's second tour in the mainland is coming to an end, and there are only a few shows left.

After finishing the performance itinerary, Chi Kyung-won returned to Seoul in a hurry. After running several brand promotional itineraries, he brought his manager to MBC in the evening, preparing to record him as the MC of "Zhou Ou" The last issue of Christmas girl group special.
