Peninsula Asteroid

"live streaming?"

Facing the new name proposed by the manager, several members repeated in surprise.

At this time, it is not a high-level meeting, but a small meeting held by EXO and their management group themselves. It is mainly to discuss and explain the recent itinerary and the points that need attention. Among them, as the head of the main management office, Lee Seung-hwan is the status Highest.

"Um."

Lee Seung-hwan nodded, looked at a stack of documents skillfully, and introduced them: "It's NAVER...Don't say you don't know about NAVER... An app called Vlive is about to be launched. This app is said to contain many function, but the main function is star live broadcast.”

"Brother is so serious, I thought it was something. Live broadcasts are not very common. We have done it a few times, like the third anniversary of debut." Park Chanyeol seemed a little disappointed, and interrupted with a smile.

"Besides, there are quite a few differences between some of the live broadcasts we have received before. In addition to the live broadcasts that include previews, this Vlive mainly focuses on live broadcasts of raids. Compared with regular broadcasts, it is more casual and natural. The specific differences can be found here. You'll know in time."

"This app started external testing on August 1st, and our XO was the first batch to experience it. It was officially launched on September 1st. In order to promote it, the operator has invited our XO to conduct live broadcasts for several consecutive days while it is online. It can also be regarded as the greatest degree of fame and occupation of the market..."

Although Li Chenghuan's last two sentences did not brag directly, they still made everyone in the conference room feel comfortable listening to them. Some people couldn't help showing reserved and proud smiles.

This is indeed the current market situation. Among the peninsula boy groups, EXO is in full swing, and its popularity and influence are visible to the naked eye. Vlive may have invited many groups of artists in the few days when it went online, but EXO is the one that attaches the most importance to it.

"The other party attaches great importance to us and is very sincere. In the future, we will have a lot of preferential treatment and more resources in the use of Vlive. The company is very optimistic about the prospect of this APP, and it has already been followed. After the APP is officially launched, the other party will continue to cooperate with the company. Other artists under the banner will carry out more cooperation..."

"Now I just want to say it in advance. We will be the first to use it after the test starts in August. After the official launch, the content company for the live broadcast will definitely hold a meeting to discuss it. But suho, you should also think about it yourself. After all, the content of the live broadcast You still have to do it yourself, and remember to put forward your own opinions when the time comes.”

After handing out the A4 papers in his hand, Li Chenghuan finally explained.

"Understood bro."

Members of XO responded a few times, and several of them seemed very interested in this live broadcast.

However, Chi Jingyuan didn't think there was anything special about it. He didn't have much feeling for this 'surprise live broadcast', and now it was just an ordinary work schedule.

Next, after introducing and explaining the important itinerary and group activities of the EXO group in the last half month, I began to focus on the personal information and solo variety shows that each member has been busy during this time.

"Chanyeol, don't you forget tomorrow's "Law of the Jungle" press conference, remember to prepare well..."

"SUHO, the last recording of "The King of Masked Singer" needs to take a few more shots..."

"XIUMINI's Mickey Mouse Club will shoot a new issue the day after tomorrow..."

"There are also magazine shoots by Zhong Dae, Sehun, and Baekhyun..."

With EXO’s smash hit overtaking bigbang and officially becoming the top boy group of the new generation, with the increasing popularity, it’s now the harvest season, and now the entire group is very popular with various endorsement brands and advertising companies, The cost alone is significantly higher than before.

This is especially true for variety shows. Although some programs cannot be featured by EXO groups due to schedules and expenses, invitations for individual members are still very popular, because basically any XO member who appears on camera will have a significant boost to the ratings.

Recently, apart from Chi Jingyuan, other members of XO have received a lot of cooperation in variety shows, including "Law of the Jungle" with very good ratings. The third brother Lay of the group has fixed "Extreme Challenge" in the mainland, and XO now seems to have a tendency to transform into a variety show group.

At the same time, it is also the same in terms of fashion. Many members have received the shooting schedule of fashion magazines. Apart from Ji Jingyuan, among them, Kim Jong-in and Oh Se-hoon have the best resources, but currently, the other members have not received invitations. There is no shooting for first-line publications, and there is a clear gap from the shooting of the cover of the top magazine VOGUE that Chi Jingyuan received before.

It's just that the cover he shot was placed in the most important September issue of VOGUE Korea, so it hasn't been released until now.

No wonder he was asked to wear autumn clothes during the filming...

At the end, it was Chi Jingyuan's turn.

"Jing Yuan will be recording "Infinite Challenge Song Festival" tomorrow. This time it will be recorded on MBC. I will rush to the studio of the TV station in the morning. Remember to prepare... By the way, the third episode of "Gayo Festival" aired on the 18th Have you read it yourself?" Li Chenghuan said, and looked over.

"Not yet, I don't have much time these two days." Chi Jingyuan blinked, indicating that he hadn't read it yet.

"Right now, the ratings of each episode of "Gayo Festival" have increased significantly. After the broadcast of the episode the day before yesterday, it caused a lot of discussion, especially about the final style of your group's songs, and what kind of songs you and IU will come up with respectively. The two topics of song are very hotly discussed...do you have an idea of ​​the song you want to use now?"

"Uh, it's almost finished, only the adaptation and arrangement are left."

"So fast?"

Li Chenghuan didn't know the specific situation of Chi Jingyuan's variety show recently. He was obviously a little surprised by his progress. He glanced at Chi He in surprise, nodded and said, "That's fine if the song has already come out... this time "Song Festival" The attention and popularity it has attracted is much greater than the company’s previous expectations, especially the team formed by you and IU has attracted many viewers who did not watch the show before. ..."

"However, although this enthusiasm is a good thing, the expectations and interest of the audience have been raised. At the same time, your personality in the outside world, or the public's impression of you has always been an excellent genius composer, and if you show it in the end If the quality of your songs does not meet the requirements of the public, or if your song quality is obviously lower than IU's...do you understand?"

"Well, I know brother." Chi Jingyuan nodded.

He knows the meaning of the other party. The expectations and attention from the outside world are of course a good thing, but at the same time it is also a burden. If the quality of the song finally produced is too poor and fails to meet the psychological expectations of the audience, it will disappoint many people and cause negative emotions. At the same time, it will also affect Chi Jingyuan's very positive image.

And because they are in the same group as IU, both of them have "genius" or "musical girl" in their personalities. If one of them writes a song that is too watery, it will be easy to be trampled by the outside world.

Although it's just a variety show song, not to mention how good it must be, it must not be too bad, like some of the songs that were sham songs in the previous song festivals, they must not meet the requirements.

Fortunately, Chi Jingyuan feels pretty good about the song he prepared this time.

"Are you confident?"

Li Chenghuan looked at Chi Jingyuan and asked, then looked at him and nodded casually, heaved a sigh of relief, and smiled: "That's good, if you have any questions about the arrangement or production, please feel free to communicate with the company... that's right , let me listen to it when it’s finished, I’m really looking forward to it..."

"So are we."

"Hahaha, let's listen together then."

With the final laughter, the meeting was also declared over by Lee Seung-hwan's clapping. There were no big group activities in the past two days after returning to Seoul. After saying hello to each other, the members went away separately, or went to work on their own affairs.

Chi Jingyuan went to the music room after having something to eat, and planned to perfect the song for the Song Festival during the relatively free time today.

However, sitting in front of the computer, he did not start working directly, but went online first, opened the replay of the third issue of "Infinite Challenge Song Festival" on the 18th, adjusted the progress bar to see the share of their group's shooting.

But speaking of it, the entire recording of this episode was recorded for nearly ten hours that day, but in the end, the portion of their group that was broadcast was only ten minutes long. This variety show is really difficult to do.

This episode was recorded when the three members of the group met for the first time after they were grouped. The shooting location is the music room where he is now. The main content is that the three meet and discuss the theme and style of the song.

Although it was quite a long time ago, he still remembers that recording. IU really left a deep impression on him that day.

Seeing IU walking into the music room with that iconic big guitar that can crush his body again, with a timid expression on his face, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but laughed again.

This lady is really interesting.

Next is the scene of the trio talking and chatting, and then communicating about song creation.

As a spectator, it is easy to see that in the beginning, apart from Jung Hyung-don, the other Chi Kyung-won and IU were obviously not very familiar with each other. The dialogue was a bit reserved, and the words and actions were deliberately maintained. polite.

But when it was time to finally discuss the theme and style of the song, the two of you and me just now started to be tough again. Although they were laughing and expressing their opinions while discussing, one insisted on pop and the other insisted on lyricism. He refused to take half a step back, as if this matter was related to his self-esteem.

Until the end of their weight in this issue, they still did not convince anyone, leaving the rest of the suspense to the next issue.

This kind of contrast between before and after, as well as the two seemingly polite, but actually confident and persistent confrontation scenes, made the audience feel very interesting, and at the same time had a strong interest in the final result.

Moreover, the editing of the program group also specially left suspense, so it is no wonder that it aroused heated discussions after it was broadcast.

"Among these groups, this group is the most interesting. Although it was a bit embarrassing to look at at the beginning, it looks very interesting before and after... Two people disagree. One insists on fast songs being popular, and the other insists on slow songs being lyrical. Know who can convince the other party."

"I'm really looking forward to the cooperation between these two people. Well, yes, there are three people, and there is Zheng Hengdun kkkk"

"Wow, after Yuan noticed that IU was wearing a short skirt, he took the initiative to hand her a pillow. That's too considerate."

"They match each other! When I saw this scene, I wanted to give Yuan and IU a thumbs up. Wow, I suddenly feel like they are a good match..."

Chi Jingyuan, who was reading the comments below, couldn't help but laugh when he saw this offensive message.

This audience's hope may be a bit difficult to achieve. IU currently has a boyfriend. Although it has not been disclosed to the public, it is not a big secret in the industry. Ji Kyung Yuan heard Park Chanyeol mention it a long time ago and heard that he has Been dating for a long time.

After casually reading the comments for a while, Chi Jingyuan put down his phone and started to work.

The song he prepared for the "Gayo Festival" was very fast, both in terms of music and lyrics.

Originally, he did not intend to use this song as a band song, but later confirmed that he would use it. When he tried to adapt it, he found that the original song was very suitable for this style, and it was also quite suitable for being changed into a ballad.

There is nothing difficult about the lyrics. It is nothing more than extending through inspiration and imagination, telling stories or stacking words.

But this name...

At this time, Chi Jingyuan looked at the computer and stopped at the title of the song. After a pause, he couldn't help but start thinking.

When there were no lyrics, the song title that was used temporarily was "Stars", but now it seems a little inappropriate, too straightforward, and not in line with the depth and style of the lyrics.

What should I change it to...

After sitting on the stool and pondering for two minutes, Chi Jingyuan didn't know what he thought of. He chuckled, rolled back the title of "Stars", and gently entered a new name:

"Rooftop Room"

…………

"The weather is gloomy and gloomy."

Wu Shixun stood at the exit connecting the stage to the stage, looking up at the dark, gloomy sky with dark clouds, and said with some worry: "Is it going to rain later?"

Several other EXO people standing around couldn't help but glance at the sky after hearing it.

Today is the 23rd, and they are currently at the Olympic Gymnastics Arena, preparing to attend the LOTTE Lovely Young concert that will be held here in the evening.

This is another theme concert organized by LOTTE to promote itself and give back to fans. It has invited many popular artists and idol groups who have collaborated with LOTTE to perform on stage. Regardless of the number of viewers present or the guest lineup, in They are all very powerful in the platter concerts.

At this time, EXO was on the edge of the backstage exit, preparing for the stage rehearsal.

Chi Jingyuan's eyes turned from Infinite who was rehearsing to the sky, and he also looked at it.

In the past two days, in addition to almost finishing the song "Rooftop Room", he also participated in the recording of "Infinite Challenge Music Festival". The theme of this time was the "Intermission and Conflict Session" session, five During the process of making songs separately, each group had some entanglements or frictions. This link was used to unify everyone's emotions while playing some small games, and at the same time unify the different opinions of the respective groups to speed up the production. The progress of the song.

In fact, this episode is completely unnecessary for Chi Jingyuan and his group. Although he and IU had great differences in opinions before, they quickly reached a reconciliation during the subsequent recordings and the progress was astonishingly fast. While other groups were still struggling to get to the end. When it came to choosing which songs to use, they immediately unanimously determined the styles and demos of the two songs, and even Chi Jingyuan's song is almost completed now.

So he didn't have a chance to perform in this issue. He acted out a few scenes according to the script given by the writer, and played a few small games, and he was done.

"Didn't you check the weather forecast? Today's forecast was for heavy rain. When you entered the venue, didn't you notice that some of the spectators who came in advance had prepared raincoats?"

Kim Min-seok expressed some helplessness at the fuss made by this group of people.

Don’t they all read the weather forecast?

"The weather forecast is inaccurate. It often says it will rain but then it doesn't rain. I have stopped watching it for a long time." As if to save his respect, Wu Shixun, who was the first to say the weather was bad, tried to defend himself.

Sure enough, his crow's mouth is really good. After the rehearsal of a few songs of Infinite was completed and EXO just stood on the stage, it started to rain.

At first, it was just a small drop in a controlled manner, but in the afternoon, the sky started to rain, and the heavy rain swept down instantly, giving the entire city a layer of gloom. The sound of huge raindrops hitting the ground was even indoors. It was very noisy in the lounge.

This can no longer be called heavy rain, it can rise to the level of heavy rain.

Even though it will definitely affect the performance on the stage, rain will not affect the start of the performance. Although Chi Jingyuan and the others would complain a few times, they were already used to it.

After all, as a popular group, who doesn’t have a few famous rainy stages?

EXO's heavy rain "MAMA" stage at the family concert has been regarded as a classic by many fans. The related videos and members' direct shots on YouTube have received very high clicks. Even passers-by were shocked after seeing it.

Speaking of which, it seems that Tao left because of this stage...

As the scheduled time came, tens of thousands of spectators wearing raincoats came in and took their seats. This time, the LOTTE concert officially began.

Although the weather was bad, the enthusiasm of the audience did not decrease. It may be because of the heavy rain that they had some admiration for the dedication of the idols. Even though the idols on the stage were not their favorite idols, most of the audience still gave face The support was given, which made the atmosphere of the whole scene very warm.

However, the idols who performed enthusiastically on the stage were very ugly when they got off the stage. Everyone who walked into the backstage after the performance was completely soaked, looking like they were just fished out of the lake.

For example, when Red Velvet just returned to the backstage, all five of them were drowned. As soon as they entered the lounge, they were surrounded by assistants and managers who had been waiting here with dry towels.

Wipe it first, then go change clothes to avoid catching a cold.

The most embarrassing thing is that Jiang Seulqi and Pei Zhuxuan, who have very good looks today and contributed to the famous scene of 'pointing at each other' that made the fans cheer, these two people who were still on the stage just now. The friendly interaction between you and me, Now he couldn't open his eyes, his nose, brow, and chin were all wrinkled, his hair and bangs stuck to his face, and he opened his hands to ask the assistant to help wipe his body.

But also because they are all soaked, the exposed legs of the young lady wearing a pleated skirt today are covered with water stains, and then under the illumination of the incandescent lamp in the room, a crystal color flickers and lingers, which looks like a pure color The white jade is just as lovely.

Looking at the busy SM assistants, Chi Jingyuan really wanted to help.

It's a pity that there are too many people around.

In the end, it was EXO's turn to take the stage. Nine XO members wearing neat pink suits, trousers and white shirts just appeared on the stage, and immediately aroused loud cheers from the audience, pushing the always hot atmosphere of the venue to the top. highest peak.

It is said that it is a platter concert, and the fan groups and companies of each guest performer have allocated a place for admission, but in fact, among the tens of thousands of spectators who came in today, more than half of them are EXO fans Ai Li, standing on the stage At a glance, they are densely connected into one piece, and the ubiquitous silver-white Ally sticks are the best proof.

First, they performed a song "EXODUS" included in the regular second album, and soon the electronic prelude of "Roar" sounded, which directly ignited the enthusiasm of all audiences and fans, and the chorus that they loved to hear appeared again.

I don’t know how many times EXO has done the platter concert as their own solo concert. Whether it’s the artists themselves, the Allies, or even other fans, they have long been used to it.

The torrential rain poured down on his head, and Chi Jingyuan, whose clothes were already wet within two minutes of playing, kept his eyes open and worked hard to finish the dance of the song.

Although the torrential rain did have an impact, my hair was soaked as soon as it came up, my eyes were a little hard to open, my clothes and socks were sticky and uncomfortable, and the stage floor was very slippery after being wet, and I couldn’t even turn on the mic. Are worried about headset leakage.

However, the hard work of the audience and fans reduced the discomfort caused by the weather to a great extent. At least Chi Jingyuan felt very uncomfortable at the moment, but his body was still quite hot.

However, an accident happened suddenly.

When Chi Jingyuan stood at his own position on the stage, performing "Roar" with the members who had skipped countless times, and was jumping to the iconic "Bending Thomas", he had just squatted down, his hands still Touching the ground, the left foot used as a support suddenly slipped, causing the whole person to lose the center of gravity in an instant, and the right knee suddenly knelt on the floor.

"hiss……"
