Chapter 269 Send to the hospital quickly

Somehow, looking at the somewhat relieved SNSD seniors, he suddenly and inexplicably thought of another girl group, Kara.

Kara, who debuted in the same year as SNSD, had no success and was unknown when she first debuted. The company did not support her, but she tried her best to exploit her. It can be said that it was a terrible start.

However, after personnel changes, persistence, hard work, luck and favor, they finally became one of the most popular first-line girl groups on the peninsula. At the same time, they became more successful in the neon market and overshadowed Girls' Generation, which had no rivals in the peninsula market.

.

Thanks to the neon market, Kara should have been the most profitable girl group after Girls' Generation among the second-generation girl groups in the past few years. When EXO debuted, they were still at the height of their popularity and could basically stand out in any activity.

In the front row, seat C, I have greeted Chi Jingyuan at several year-end award ceremonies.

Unfortunately, in early 2014, member Nicole quit the group because she was really dissatisfied with the company's oppression, causing an uproar among kara fans.

Although there were only 4 people in Kara when they debuted, and there were personnel changes early on, but no one cared about it at that time. Later, when they became popular, they were 5 people, and they were the 5 people who made the world famous, and fans only recognized these 5 people.

Kara's performance on Peninsula's mainland has declined somewhat in 2013. Although they became the first Peninsula girl group to perform at the Tokyo Dome, the title song "Damaged Lady" from Peninsula's comeback incredibly dropped off the Melon annual chart.

If they can hold on to the neon market, they can also stabilize the decline, at least enough to provide for their retirement.

But Nicole's withdrawal dealt a fatal blow to the entire group. Kara's recent achievements are hard to describe. The sales advantage it has always been proud of is no longer there, and the neon market is shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It is said that member Kang Ji Young has also had conflicts with the company and may leave the group soon, adding insult to injury.

Once very popular, Kara, one of the three major girl groups that debuted in 2007, was the first to fall behind in 2014, officially kicking off the collective decline of second-generation girl groups.

Kara has left the track, now it’s Girls’ Generation’s turn…

Pei Xiuzhi smiled and took a trophy and began to express her gratitude, while Chi Jingyuan quietly looked at the familiar sisters on the right, with some complicated thoughts in his heart.

Girls' Generation's national recognition in the peninsula is unparalleled. It has become a symbol of an era, and its health bar is extremely deep.

But no matter how thick the blood is, there will be a day when it will all fall away. This time, the decline has been obvious, both in terms of music source and sales.

It would be really difficult if the next album still fails to rejuvenate, or if the romance of a few more popular members is revealed.

Chi Jingyuan couldn't say that he was sad for them, but he felt a little emotional for a moment.

After the encore stage, the two returned to the lounge, packed their things, and then Chi Jingyuan took his leave and prepared to leave.

He followed Park Jae-hyun and his assistant, and was stopped by Bae Suzy as soon as he walked out of the lounge door.

Today is the last time they will perform as a temporary group, and there will be no official group activities after today.

Of course, there will definitely be advertising shoots and some product platforms that require them to work together. With the momentum and results of "Some", they will definitely attend various events together at the end of the year.

But at least in the past few days, I probably won’t see him again.

Pei Xiuzhi followed after walking out and called Chi Jingyuan, looked at him with a smile for a few seconds, then gently stroked her hair: "When are you free to go have dinner together?"

Her eating may be a little different from other people's. Of course, it doesn't just mean eating. It is also a tacit understanding between the two of them. "Eating together" has become something that only Chi Jingyuan and Pei Xiuzhi understand in their hearts.

hint.

"hehe……"

Chi Jingyuan's voice was a little hoarse and he laughed and said, "Let's wait until I get better from the cold."

After leaving a sentence, he made eye contact with the other person, turned around, and waved his hand behind him: "See you in two days."

"Tch, I can't even speak clearly anymore and I'm still pretending to be cool..."

Pei Xiuzhi watched Chi Jingyuan disappear around the corner, chuckled, curled her lips, walked back into the lounge and closed the door.

………………

On March 16, the song promotion activity of "some" officially ended, but the song's brilliant achievements continued. It has set many astonishing records since the song was released on the 21st.

Thirteen people play songs.

The Genie list has broken the chart 62 times in total, which is the first time it has broken the chart since the list was established.

It has been at the top of the Genie charts since the release of the song, which has lasted for 242 hours, and there are no strong competitors recently. It depends on the situation and it will continue to stay.

The Melon chart has broken the charts a total of 51 times, ranking first after Melon's revision. Counting the pre-revision, it ranks behind PSY's "Gentleman" in 2013. This song inherited the legacy of "Gangnam Style". Melon had not yet revamped its version and released

The diva broke her watch 89 times in a row, which is really scary.

Although the concept of "breaking the table" was only proposed in 2011, and songs before 11 years ago are not included in this data, it is terrifying enough just to rank second among all songs in the past few years.

The stamina on Melon is even more astonishing, the curve is extremely gentle, and it looks like "Some" is already heading towards the top of the annual charts.

This sound source performance is really eye-catching, and it is also the reason why "some" is so popular nowadays and is shown in every variety show in the streets and alleys.

At the same time, this is also the fundamental reason why many Girls' Generation fans are dissatisfied that this song has prevented their family from becoming an idol, but they still cannot help but be convinced.

The music performance is so good and so popular.

After Yuan & Suzy finished playing songs, all the sones couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. They have really been on pins and needles in the past two weeks. With the popularity and size of Girls' Generation, they have played zero songs in the first two weeks after returning after more than a year.

It is really unacceptable to everyone.

In the past two weeks, various anti-fans on the Internet and other fans who are watching the fun have started several rounds of conferences for Girls' Generation, saying things like 'has passed', 'love era', and 'hurry up' etc.

All kinds of weirdness, slander and slander simply make fans’ heads burn when they see it.

Now it’s good, Chi Kyung-won and the others have graduated, and with Girls’ Generation’s level, the one next week will definitely be stable.

Just when "Some" ended singing, 2NE1, one of Girls' Generation's old rivals, announced their return with their regular second album and started singing.

Further back is next week’s 4minute.

The competition in the peninsula music industry is so fierce. Any time you come back, there will be popular artists attacking you. It is really difficult to find a comeback time without strong competitors. I finally found a time to come back at a time when there seemed to be no great idols, and suddenly they came again.

He played a big banging song that came out of nowhere, pushed you to the ground and beat you.

So the most reliable thing is your own popularity, excellent songs, and persistent fans.

After that, in addition to running his own advertising schedule, Chi Jingyuan spent the rest of his time with EXO members. The scheduled time for his comeback is getting closer, and the company has already released the news. Recently, they have been working every day

They have devoted themselves wholeheartedly to the new album.

At this time, all members of EXO were filming the MV for "Overdose" in a studio on the second basement floor of an office building in Gangnam District.

The second underground floor, which was originally far away from the sun, was now illuminated by ubiquitous incandescent lights as bright as day. SM Company had already set up a scene here in advance. A huge white hexagonal cube was standing in it, with the walls of the cube

Decorated with a black mosquito-repellent incense and a maze-like frame, this is EXO’s logo for this return design.

The hexagonal cube of this set is really beautiful and a bit spectacular from the outside. It has 360 degrees of blind spots on all sides and a ceiling. Being in it is like being in a huge maze, giving people a strong sense of excitement.

Stimulation and immersion.

The reason for this design is that the concept of the music and lyrics of EXO's second mini-album title song "Overdose/Addiction" is about a boy who is addicted to the love of his favorite object and cannot extricate himself, like being trapped.

Being in a maze and having difficulty escaping.

In order to echo this concept, in addition to building this huge cube as the main shooting location, a real maze composed of foam walls dyed gray was also specially built on the third underground floor.

Just from the setting of the MV, it can be seen that SM Entertainment has really invested a lot in EXO. At least the construction of this shooting location is more thoughtful than the dark parking lot of Girls' Generation's new album.

The process alone had been rehearsed for a long time. Now the twelve members are filming in the cube. Counting this time, they have danced almost ten times now.

There are many shooting angles. In addition to the camera that is always following in front of you, there are also long automatic shooting poles placed on the slide rails, drones for overhead shots, etc., in addition to lighting.

, recording support is all available.

Surrounded by a large number of staff, in addition to those filming the MV, there are also some company staff who specialize in filming behind-the-scenes.

Last year's regular album of extras really made EXO's face shine, and it was well received by fans. It not only had a good effect of solidifying fans, but also attracted many new fans. SM, who got the benefit, naturally did this trick this time

Zhongshi arranged for multiple people to shoot the behind-the-scenes footage from several angles. During the break in the MV, the cameras were also given to the members for them to operate on their own.

In addition to this, there is also the program team of mnet. SM and ment have agreed to cooperate. For the promotion of the second album of "Mystery", EXO's second group variety "Hot Moment XOXO" will be filmed, mainly to record EXO

The results achieved along the way, as well as various behind-the-scenes during the production of "overdose", as well as some private chat interviews with the members.

However, the planning of this group show is very small, with only 4 episodes in total, and the level of intention is far less than the previous first group show "EXO Showtime", it is purely for publicity.

A shooting scene on the second underground floor gathered three waves of staff, and it was really lively.

"This is overdose."

"CUT, take a rest first, and we will summarize the problem in ten minutes."

"Kang Sangmita, thank you for your hard work."

As the accompaniment ended and the PD shouted, the members all stopped. After dancing nearly ten times in a row, everyone felt very tired. After saying thank you, some pinched their waists, and some simply said

Sitting on the ground buttocks.

As soon as Chi Jingyuan stopped, he immediately found a wall, put his hands on it and kept breathing heavily. He only felt dizzy, chest tightness, and his throat was uncomfortable because he had no appetite and had eaten less in the past two days.

They all felt weak and light.

He has had a cold for more than a week. Even after taking medicine, it keeps coming back and forth, and it is becoming more and more serious. Recently, the symptoms of fever and dizziness have become significantly worse, and he feels a little dazed after strenuous exercise.

.

"Jingyuan, drink some water quickly. Do you want to go to the hospital for a check-up after today's shooting?"

Li Chenghuan, who had been watching, quickly came up with a bottle of water, handed it to Chi Jingyuan, and kept expressing concern.

"I just went there two days ago..."
