Chapter 92 Don’t listen to her bragging(1/2)
Although the penalty for drunk driving is not very serious, the people of the peninsula hate it very much, and this is not the first time. Even if Kangin will not quit the group this time, there will definitely not be much development in the future.
These are all imaginable.
There are too many seniors in the Peninsula entertainment industry who are constantly admonishing their juniors with their own personal experiences. Whether it is SM’s SJ or YG’s Bigbang members, they have set an example for them and personally demonstrated the importance of obeying the law.
But there is no way, the environment and personality are like this, there are always many people who become new negative examples one after another.
Fortunately, the circle around Chi Jingyuan belongs to a relatively normal type. Although some of the friends in it have disgusting habits such as changing girlfriends every month, or riding on several boats, they are still in this respect.
He is relatively well-behaved.
After chatting for a while about the hottest topic within the company recently, Son Seungwan suddenly mentioned EXO: "By the way, your XO will be making a comeback soon, right? It's the super handsome Zhan that I saw in the company last time.
The makeup-damaging look…”
Some time ago, Son Seung-wan met Ji Kyung-won and several people in the company who were wearing full makeup because they were filming the "Monster" MV. At that time, she was so stunned by this strong style that she was even slightly envious. Until now
They are all mentioned from time to time.
She seemed to have remembered the scene at that time, and her expression was very vivid: "Wow, I really like this battle-damaged makeup look, especially this darker style, it's really cool... When will we
Can we also make an album of this style?"
There was longing in her eyes, as if she had imagined what she would look like wearing similar makeup and singing a handsome song...
Jiang Seulqi let go of the straw in her mouth and added with a smile: "I like this style too."
Aren't you on the sweet girl route now? Last year you were still singing non-stop on "Ice Cream Cake"...
Chi Jingyuan looked across at the two relatives who had started having sex and didn't know what to say.
But it’s not impossible. The concept of red velvet’s group is to divide it into two different styles, ‘red’ and ‘velvet’. If red focuses on sweetness and cuteness, it’s not a bad idea for velvet to try a dark style.
It's just that it's hard for Chi Jingyuan to imagine what Pei Zhuhyun's style looks like...
It’s even harder to imagine what Son Seung-wan, who has an exaggerated expression and a smooth expression in front of him, and Kang Seul-gi, who puffs out her cheeks and smiles so innocently that she can’t even open her eyes, look like in a dark style.
forget it……
"Well, it's coming soon. It will be officially released on June 9th, which is a little more than a week away." Wu Shixun nodded and said, "We have been busy preparing these days."
"Oh, I'm really looking forward to it... So how much have you pre-sold for this album now? It should be half a million, right?" Jiang Seulgi asked curiously as she poked her head.
EXO has opened the pre-sale channel five days ago. At that time, it was also on the hot search due to the heated discussion among fans. Everyone knew that the sales were very good. However, the company has not disclosed specific data so far. The outside world relied on various
The number of channels is a guess.
Jiang Seulqi felt that her prediction should be quite accurate. Although the sales were very good, it was only five days ago...
Wu Shixun glanced at her and stopped talking after hearing the words. He looked at Chi Jingyuan next to him, pursed his lips, and said somewhat reservedly: "It's almost one million."
After EXO's pre-sale started, the number of pre-orders exceeded 700,000 on the first day, and the number continued to grow rapidly in the following days. As of yesterday, it was about to exceed one million.
It has been almost a year since last year's regular second album, and it has been more than half a year since Lidong's album, which is considered a very slow comeback in the music industry. Ariels really want to spend money to buy albums during this time
I couldn't find any opportunities, so I could only buy some concert CDs, photos, and peripherals to support my idols.
It's just that there are many fans who don't like to buy peripherals and the like. They only like to play albums. So after such a long time, these fans are already hungry and can't wait. As soon as the pre-sale is opened, they start to release it without any disguise.
own passion.
The highlights of EXO's regular third album this time are the two main songs with completely opposite styles. "Missing" is both lyrical and pop, as well as the high-level arrangement and choreography of "Monster", especially the first attempt at dark-style battle-damaged makeup.
The impact can be regarded as the pinnacle makeup look of EXO since their debut.
But if we talk about the planning and the quality of the songs, it is actually not as explosive as last year’s regular second album. It’s just that the quality of last year’s regular second album has not been found in Kpop for several years. Even if SM and Ji Jingyuan are now
It’s also difficult to copy…
...However, this kind of quality albums that have been first seen in several years appeared on EXO and Bigbang consecutively last year, creating a wonderful showdown between the two boy groups. 2015 is indeed the year that many people call the peak of Kpop.
.
Although the quality of the songs and the planning are not as good as last year, they are definitely well-produced, and this time there is no continuous foreshadowing of four single albums like last year. It does not distract fans' energy and money, but it is the highlight right from the beginning.
It’s the third regular album, so sales won’t be affected too much.
Last year EXO created a miracle with a single album worth one million, and this year it is expected to have another one million pre-sale.
However, one million is no longer something to be excited about for EXO and SM. What makes them most satisfied is the composition of sales.
The current composition of this million is very interesting. More than 300,000 of them are from Xia Kingdom, 500,000 are from the mainland, and the last more than 200,000 are all from overseas, Europe and the United States, and they are still increasing.
.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The first two data are normal and not surprising, while the latter is a significant improvement compared to last year, which also proves that the company and EXO are committed to overseas markets
The development is very effective...
"It's only been five days since pre-sales and it's already 1 million? This is just the original version. When the follow-up reissue album comes out, the total will be the same as last year?"
"Omo, this sales figure always seems like we are not from the same world..." Jiang Seulqi found that she was still too conservative.
Their Red Velvet’s last comeback sold 60,000 to 70,000 yuan, which is considered to be a first-line achievement among Kpop girl groups, and a considerable part of them were bought by Bae Joo Hyun’s only fans... Bae Joo Hyun through the MC of "Music Bank" and Music Bank
CP brought a lot of exposure to red velvet, and also increased a lot of national popularity and attracted a lot of Wei fans.
The girl group's RMB 60,000 to RMB 70,000 is already considered top-tier in Kpop, but as for EXO, the statistical unit has changed. What is it, Epop?
"If only we could share one-tenth..." Sun Shengwan started to have sex again, blinking his eyes and starting to fantasize, his face full of happiness: "Wow, I don't dare to think about it, hahaha..."
Obviously they are all in the same circle and profession, but the data of one group are completely disconnected, as if they are not in the same world. It shocks people in the same industry even more than fans.
Because they know best how difficult it is to do it.
"Let's not talk about this anymore..." Perhaps because he felt that this topic was indeed a bit offensive, Wu Shixun, who was more considerate of his friends' emotions, waved his hand and took the initiative to bring up something else: "What's your current situation with Red Velvet? Do you have any plans for a new album?"
"Yes, the title song has almost been decided." It was quite shocking to be so far away from XO. Kang Seulgi didn't say anything more, but Oh Sehun mentioned about his group, which made her interested, and she laughed.
Then he started to talk about it: "We all listened to it, the melody is very good and very brainwashing... What do you think this song is about?"
"What? Chocolate cake?" Chi Jingyuan replied casually.
"Ah Ni, what..." gave him a dissatisfied look, Jiang Seqi came over and said mysteriously: "It's about random killings!"
"mo? Real or fake?"
"Of course, I'm telling you..."
Listening to the two people next to them who were enthusiastically giving Wu Shixun science knowledge, Chi Jingyuan was sipping his drink without interest and was not listening very seriously.
Because he had heard their captain say it before...
After chatting for a long time, everyone's drinks were empty. When they were about to leave, Wu Shixun thought of something again, looked at Chi Jingyuan and asked: "By the way, you and Kyung Soo are going to attend together in two days.
Baeksang, right? You all seem to have been selected for the Popularity Award?"
As soon as he said this, several people's attention turned.
"We are participating together." Chi Jingyuan nodded: "But we are not sitting together, and the awards are not in the same category. He is in the movie category, the crew of "Innocent Love", and I am in the TV category, the crew of "Signal"."
"You're really cunning... I know I can't beat you if I get the same award as you." Wu Shixun made some dark speculations. His acting career suffered some setbacks in last year's "My Neighbor is EXO".
At that time, he was already lagging behind a lot among EXO members.
"I really may not win the popularity award this time." Chi Jingyuan shook his head, and after taking the last sip of the drink, there was a crisp sound of air in the straw.
"Shuang Song CP is indeed very powerful, but the popularity award is not important. Jingyuan, you were also selected for the best actor. There seems to be a best fashion award..." Looking at Chi Jingyuan, he seemed to be not very interested.
At this time, Sun Shengwan quickly spoke out to encourage him: "Are you confident?"
Chi Jingyuan looked at him strangely: "Do you understand him so well?"
Even if you know the candidates for the Popularity Award and Best Actor, you even know that I have a spot for the Best Fashion Award... Are you my fan?
"We are close friends, so of course I pay attention to your awards!" Sun Shengwan looked at him with a matter-of-fact expression and blinked at him, as if he was begging for praise: "I know every one of your awards and the list of nominees.
I followed it the first day it came out, and I often vote for you for the Popularity Award!"
"Jingyuan, don't listen to her bragging." Jiang Seulgi immediately exposed her with a smile: "Actually, it was all Joohyun Unnie said when we chatted some time ago. What she said...we all heard it from her.
.”
"oh……"
Hearing this, Chi Jingyuan nodded clearly, feeling a little strange in his heart.
Then he smiled and looked at the two people in front of him, Sun Shengwan, who was dissatisfied with Jiang Seulqi after being exposed. After Jiang Seulqi surrendered and begged for mercy, the two returned to normal, he shook his head: "I don't have any confidence, I guess.
It’s very difficult.”
He looked lethargic and didn't seem very interested in awards.
Seeing Chi Jingyuan's appearance, Jiang Seulqi and Son Seungwan quickly comforted each other. They encouraged each other with every word:
"Oh, being nominated is really awesome! Do you think any idol actor can be nominated for The Emperor now? And Jingyuan, you have already been nominated twice."
"That's right, if I could film a movie and be selected as the best actress, I don't know how happy I would be."
“The show is so popular, awards don’t really matter!”
"Exactly……"
"You two are still comforting him. Do you know how high the script you sent him can be stacked on the table?"
