Chapter 270 The Album Postponed

Chapter 270 The Album Postponed
At this time, the other managers and assistants all rushed over seeing the sudden situation, and with their help, they quickly transferred Chi Jingyuan out.

The turmoil caused by EXO at the edge of the stage also attracted all the attention of the reporters in the exhibition hall. Their eyes lit up, as if they saw a fresh-blooded beast, and they quickly raised their cameras to shoot wildly. For a while, the flash was like a rain of arrows. Swept over.

Members of EXO fainted suddenly during the event, a very good and hot news that will definitely cause widespread discussion.

In particular, this member is still the hottest member of Yuan in the music industry recently. The song "some" that has just finished playing is still at the top of the music charts, and it continues to provide Chi Jingyuan with a lot of heat and enthusiasm every day. exposure.

Seeing the SM crowd leaving the scene in a hurry, all the reporters immediately went to work.

Soon, a piece of news flew to the forefront of the search site's hot searches at an astonishing speed:

"EXO member Yuan suddenly fainted during the event and was rushed to the hospital, suspected of being exhausted."

There are several pictures in the middle of the news, there are pictures of SM people gathered together in panic, and pictures of Chi Jingyuan being taken away, although they are not very clear, but you can recognize who is who in it.

After this news appeared on the hot search, it immediately attracted the attention of countless people. In an instant, countless clicks poured in, making its popularity ranking rise steadily, and it didn't take long to rush to the first position.

The number of various comments and messages under the news also increased sharply, and many new comments were posted every second:

"%...Axiba shit SM, really%..."

"Sure enough, the dog company is still pissed, oppressing its artists in various ways, Yuan recently is the devil's schedule, right?"

"Can EXO's manager die? Can the artist be so tired that he can't see? You have to pass out during the event to find out?"

"I said that Yuan and Suzy didn't turn on the mic when they played songs in the last week, and he didn't say much in every interview and testimonial. It turned out that there was something wrong with his body. SM company is really inhumane, so hurry up and close down."

"SM is black all his life...hope oppa is okay."

There are all kinds of comments, some have nothing to do with me, some gloat, some watch the fun, and some care.

But most of them are swearing, of course it is SM company, basically all fans of EXO and Yuan are swearing.

In fact, it is not a big news that an artist from Peninsula fainted during the event, because the pressure on the artist itself is very high, plus the oppression of the company, not eating much when managing the body, high-intensity event schedule and other factors add up. Idol's physical condition has not been very good, basically every once in a while this happens several times.

There are many things like this in SM, for example, Oh Soo Jung fainted on stage more than once.

This time there is such a big popularity mainly because Chi Jingyuan's personal popularity and popularity are really high. Recently, he has become a trend in the music industry. Coupled with his status as an actor, even people who don't pay attention to boy groups know it. He, as soon as the news came out, it was easy to attract the attention of passers-by.

When this kind of news happens in other houses, you can watch it happily, but when it happens to your own idol, of course you can't bear it immediately, the huge number of XO fans smashed SM's official website and SNS in an instant.

In particular, some big fans and sisters who are close to EXO members and can often get first-hand news also began to break the news, saying, "Recently, EXO's album preparation work is set too close to the comeback period, so the time has been delayed. I was very nervous and had to work overtime every day until two or three o'clock in the morning. The members worked very hard.

And because of Yuan's cooperation with Bae Suzy, he practiced later than the other members, that's why he had a problem with his body. He had a fever for a long time and it didn't get better...'

After this news came out, the ancestral graves of all managers of SM Company were lifted up a hundred and eighty times on the Internet within half an hour, flying gracefully and dancing in the sky above Seoul.

In Peninsula, as long as an artist has a problem, it is right to scold the brokerage company.

Just when there was a lot of scolding on the Internet, Chi Jingyuan also woke up.

…………

"It's nothing serious, it's just the whole body fever and some other symptoms caused by viral influenza. This fainting is because I have practiced and danced a lot in the past few days and I haven't eaten much."

In the special ward of Samsung Hospital in Seoul, Chi Jingyuan was sitting on the hospital bed and was infusing fluid, while holding a mobile phone and talking about his situation with his second brother who called immediately after learning the news.

As he said, there is indeed no serious illness, but the general condition has been aggravated due to lack of rest.He woke up after being sent to the hospital by his agent, and he felt much better after the infusion.

"It's really easy for you to say, do you know that all the calls from the eldest sister just now came to me?"

Chi Jingxu was obviously relieved when he heard that there was no problem, but soon he became annoyed and mocking again: "And do you love your work so much that you can't stop having a fever even though you are sick?" Leaving the post, when idols are so addictive, why didn’t you see you working so hard when you were in school?”

Chi Jingyuan had no way to explain to his second brother that getting sick in the idol circle was a minor problem, and many people went to work with illness and injury.

Although they are both idols, their identities are somewhat different after all, and the second brother certainly doesn't understand, or is too lazy to understand these things, so Chi Jingyuan just listened to the other party's complaints and didn't try to explain anything.

Although the tone of the second brother is not very good, and he has been spraying him and mocking him, but this kind of family care is still very enjoyable for him.

After talking for a long time, after Chi Jingxu reconfirmed that there was nothing wrong with his brother, he didn't bother to scold him anymore, and said casually: "Forget it, it's fine..."

"By the way, I contacted Li Xiuman before I called you. His attitude and tone were not very good, which put some pressure on him."

"Eh..." Chi Jingyuan was a little dumbfounded.

"Although it's nothing serious, we still have to show our attitude." Chi Jingxu said briefly without explaining much, but Chi Jingyuan understood what he meant.

"Well, I see." He responded.

"Okay, you can take a good rest for a few days, if you feel uncomfortable in the dormitory, go home and live there."

After finishing talking about the business, Chi Jingxu also relaxed, and finally remembered something, and his tone became weird: "By the way, the female idol who worked with you recently seems to be pretty good-looking and very popular, have you... "

"Goodbye."

Chi Jingyuan said goodbye expressionlessly and immediately hung up the phone.

The second brother and him can't talk seriously for too long every time, and they always turn to this topic in the end, which really makes him quite speechless.

After the call was hung up, Chi Jingyuan's cell phone kept ringing, and all of them were friends who saw the trending search and sent messages to care about him.

Not only Sunny, Taeyeon, Zheng Eundi, Jiang Seulqi and other close relatives, basically anyone who exchanged contact information with Chi Jingyuan sent messages, and his mobile phone didn't stop for a while. Pass.

It happened to be fine at the moment, so fortunately Chi Jingyuan took his mobile phone and replied one by one, expressing his gratitude to the other party for their concern.

After a while, the door of the room was knocked, and Li Chenghuan and Park Jae-hyun walked in together. After seeing that Chi Jingyuan was in good condition, Li Chenghuan exhaled a sigh of relief, and said with some fear: "It's fine, I was really scared just now. .”

"The next time you encounter this kind of situation, it will definitely not be like this. Just now Director Chi called and scolded me."

"Jingyuan, this time, you are really... even if you don't have much time to rest, you still have to eat. Just now the doctor said that besides lack of rest, the dizziness is due to not eating well."

Park Jae-hyun said with a wry smile, went to the side and poured a glass of water for Chi Jingyuan,

"Drink of water."

"..." Chi Jingyuan took a sip and asked curiously, "Where are the other members?"

"After sending you the car, they went back to the company first. Today's follow-up trips are all cancelled. They are quite flustered seeing your situation, and they probably don't have the mood to run activities."

While speaking, Li Chenghuan took out a document from the folder he carried with him and handed it to Chi Jingyuan: "This is an announcement that the company is going to release to the outside world regarding your matter. Jingyuan, please check to see if there is any problem. Do you have any comments?" Tell me what you want, and I will pass it on to the company."

Chi Jingyuan put down the water glass, took it over and looked at it carefully.

It was a relatively normal company announcement, telling that Chi Jingyuan was fine and some reasons why he fainted during this event.

What's more special is that at the end of the announcement, there is an apology to the fans. You must know that SM companies basically never express any apology in the announcement because of these things, and usually just make a random announcement.

"Just send it like this, no problem."

Chi Jingyuan nodded and returned the file.

"Then I will communicate with the company later. After you were sent to the hospital, the fans rioted. Jingyuan, you don't even know how crazy your fans are. The official website and SNS are full of curses. Now there are fans at the gate of the building. There was a demonstration against it."

Lee Seung-hwan recalled the messages he saw on the Internet just now and sighed. After putting away the files, he continued: "You should take a good rest these few days. You will definitely not be able to work these few days with your appearance. Your album may It will be postponed, the company should be holding a meeting to discuss this matter now..."

…………

In the small meeting room on the [-]th floor of SM Company, Lee Soo Man and Kim Young Min, as well as the record planning department responsible for EXO preparations and the publicity department personnel for external communication were all present.The center of discussion in this impromptu meeting was Chi Jingyuan's time this time and what to do with EXO's album.

"We communicated with the hospital. The doctor said it was a viral cold. The symptoms were mild but dragged on for too long, and the patient's body was too tired to make the condition worse. Now he needs to rest for a while, maybe five days to a week. "

A room chief was explaining to everyone the news he had just received from the hospital.

"Is this diagnosis reliable? Will it..."

"The special ward of Samsung Hospital in Seoul is usually not open to the public. If we go there, we can't even find the door. The person who sees Jing Yuanxi is the most authoritative medical person in our country, and there will be absolutely no problem." Fisheye glanced at the person who raised the objection, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

"..." The person who doubted the diagnosis was so stunned that he couldn't say a word, and sat there pretendingly looking at the document.

"..." Li Xiuman nodded to show that he understood, and then looked at Li Changcan from the record department: "What about XO's second mini-album?"

"EXO's second mini-album preparations have reached the last juncture. According to the previous progress, it can be completed within the scheduled time. But if Jing Yuanxi rests, without his participation, many things cannot be carried out and the progress will be completely stagnant, including the title song and He is the most important person in the filming of the "MV" of the prelude song." Li Changchan said with a salute.

"Has the return date been set?"

"Nai, according to the previous progress, it has been determined on April 4th, and we are going to officially announce this news on April 15st, and at the same time carry out the first wave of publicity warm-up."

"........."

Li Xiuman took a pen and scratched casually on the A4 paper in front of him, then glanced at Jin Yingmin next to him, exchanged glances with each other, put down the pen and said in a deep voice: "Then delay, let Jing Yuan Take a few days off and let the other members relax."

"But Director Nim, if it is postponed, EXO's comeback will be at the end of April or early May, and the comeback period will overlap with their first Asian tour."

Li Changcan was a little anxious, and hurriedly said: "And the negotiation between the company's departments, including the overall plan of the publicity and the opening time of the pre-sale, as well as the communication with the TV station, have been completed. If it is postponed now..."

"Then why don't you shoot the MV instead of Jing Yuan?"

Li Xiuman looked at him with a smile, interrupted Li Changcan's words, his tone was playful but everyone sat up straight.

"I mean……"

"okay……"

Li Xiuman knocked on the table three times with his fingers overlapped, seemed a little impatient, squinted his eyes and glanced around and emphasized again: "EXO's return will be postponed first, and the specific return time will be determined after Jing Yuan recovers from his illness and returns to the team. Progress is confirmed."

"The Propaganda Department prepares and releases the news of the postponement of the comeback tomorrow."

"Nai, ah, for Smecta."

Li Changcan and the surrounding management immediately bowed and saluted.

…………

SM has made two announcements for two consecutive days, the first one is to explain the cause of Ji Jingyuan's accident and his current physical condition, and at the same time apologize to fans, expressing that they will pay more attention to the health of their artists.

The second is to announce that due to the physical factors of the members, EXO's comeback originally scheduled for mid-April will be postponed, and the specific time is still uncertain, and then apologized.

The first announcement made the flood of insults against SM on the Internet calm down a lot, and many fans also died down. Since Chi Jingyuan didn't have any serious problems, that's fine.

And this time SM actually took the initiative to apologize to artists and fans for the first time, which made many fans look a little surprised and excited, thinking that their battle had an effect that led to this result, and even felt more happy about SM At the same time, he also made preparations for the next battle.

The announcement of the postponement of the second album also caused a lot of discussion. Many people said that they were dissatisfied with the postponement of the album after waiting for a long time, but most of them appreciated this behavior. , can be called the conscience of the industry, and they all expressed their great anticipation for XO's comeback this time, and they will definitely buy their album to support them.

The most interesting thing is that through the apology for this incident and the postponement of the album, SM has actually gained a lot of goodwill from fans and passers-by.

After staying in the hospital for two days, Chi Jingyuan returned to the dormitory, and happily rested in the dormitory for a few days.

His illness was not serious at all, and he recovered quickly after receiving treatment, rest, and food guarantees. He was already well enough to return to the team the next day after returning to the dormitory, but the company insisted on giving him two extra days. It's a day off, anyway, the album has been postponed and the time is not as urgent as before, so let him recover completely and don't make any more fools.

Although the other members did not follow the holiday together and were still practicing and running the schedule, thanks to him, the past few days have been a lot easier, and they don't have to work overtime until two or three in the morning to catch up with the progress as before.

In the past few days, the members can go back to the dormitory to rest before twelve o'clock in the evening. After the sleep is guaranteed, everyone feels refreshed.

However, there are also some people who are bored and don't seem to be very happy.

Until March 3nd, he had rested for several days. Chi Jingyuan, who was healthy and light, was sitting on the sofa in the dormitory. There was a variety show on the TV and the sound was quite loud, but he didn’t watch it, but listened to it. The voice swiped his phone and paid attention to the recent interesting things in the entertainment industry.

The BTS ended their one-month song making activities. Although they didn't win any top song playing this time, their comeback has received a lot of praise for their unique style and individual stage, and their fans have increased significantly.

After the end of playing songs, the management company Big Hit announced that BTS will officially enter the Xiaguo market in April.

The income of idol groups in the peninsula is really not high, so basically as long as the idol has some names in the peninsula, the company will choose to open up overseas markets.

At present, there is no successful precedent for breaking into the United States. The general choice is Neon or Xiaguo.

Originally, bighit was hesitant about which one to choose, but because EXO had a great reputation in Xia Guo, and they happened to have Xia Guotong in the team, after some discussion, they decided to go to Xia, and they came back this time The title song itself is a bilingual version.

At this time, Chi Jingyuan knew that the title song "Man" of BTS' comeback this time actually had a Xia Wen version, and Fang Wenshan, a well-known lyricist in Xia Guo, wrote the lyrics. From this, it can be seen that they have long been interested in the Xia Guo market. I am very salivating, and I am quite confident that I have made preparations in advance.

With a bit of anticipation, Chi Jingyuan went online to watch the MV of the Xia Wen version of "Man" and silently closed the webpage 2 minutes later with an uncontrollable frantic smile.

I wish them all the best, he remembered that there are still two good-looking members in the BTS, and with Wu Sai Ke in charge of Chinese, the momentum of development should be quite good.

Girls' Generation breathed a sigh of relief after Yuan&suzy's "some" finished playing songs. After the dark cloud over their heads was gone, they fought against God this week and won the first place in all playing shows. The trophy also allowed the sones to sweep away the loss of the previous two weeks and regain their strength.

Although Girls' Generation's comeback has declined significantly this time, it is indeed impossible to return to zero.That is to say, the sound source of "some" is too heaven-defying, and the popularity and popularity of Chi Jingyuan and Bae Suzy's partner are too high. Otherwise, if they change their opponents, Girls' Generation can at least win several places in the first two weeks.

After all, although the sound source of "mr.mr." lacks stamina, it exploded very high. Compared with their current album sales of 14 last year, they have indeed declined by half, but compared with other girl groups, it is still very obvious.

However, sone's good days will not last for a few days. 2NE1, which had a poor performance last year and received a lot of doubts, is very strong in the comeback of the regular second album "crush". The sales and music sources are all back to spring, and the double title "come back home" and "gotta be you" performed very well on the music source list, which has already overshadowed the limelight of Girls' Generation.

Especially the former, if "some" hadn't been released for a month and was still too strong to firmly occupy the first place in the weekly chart, "come back home" might have won the weekly crown in the first week of its comeback.

In addition to the fight between these two old rival girl groups, 17minute's fifth mini-album on the 4th with the title song "What Do You Do Today" also performed very well.

In addition, ACUBE also announced that Apink will come back on March 3st, and the teaser video for the title song "mr.chu" has been released, and the response has been very good.

The competition between these girl groups is really fierce.Chi Jingyuan couldn't help sighing in his heart watching the comeback news that came out one by one.

By the way, Apink's title song "mr.chu" also has 'mr', maybe it will be like Girls' Generation, and it will be interesting to reveal a relationship or something.

In Chi Jingyuan's view, the word 'mr' is already a curse.

"ring……"

The phone rang suddenly, it was Park Jae-hyun's call.

"Brother, what's the matter." Chi Jingyuan answered the phone easily, and at the same time picked up the remote control to turn down the volume of the TV a little.

"Jing Yuan, how is your body?"

"No problem. In fact, it was OK the day before yesterday... I'm not used to being suddenly idle these two days."

"I've already told the company and I'll be going back tomorrow."

Chi Jingyuan glanced at the TV and replied with a chuckle.

After fully recovering, it is really like being reborn, and the whole person is very energetic.

"That's good. I'm just telling you about this. SM has received several invitations. The 'Seoul Fashion Week' is coming to an end. After you come back tomorrow, go to the company first, and then the first itinerary is to see show."

"Watching the show?" Chi Jingyuan froze for a moment, a little surprised.

"Inside, the 'Seoul Fashion Week' will be held in Seoul Design Culture Park on March 3st. You EXO are the opening performers and catwalk guests, but you can't come at the hospital that day. The other 21 members performed..."

Park Jae-hyun began to explain: "I heard that the several designers that the organizer cooperates with appreciate you very much. They think that your temperament and figure are very good and suitable for catwalks. The organizer also attaches great importance to your popularity and sent many invitations to SM. .”

"Come on, brother, I can't come to the show." Chi Jingyuan smiled wryly.

"The show needs to be practiced in advance. You don't have the time. This time, you just need to accept an interview and watch a show. It's a very easy itinerary. It's perfect for you who just recovered from illness."

"After you come back, EXO's album production will start again, and it must be busy again." Park Jae-hyun's tone sounded quite relaxed.

"That's fine, I see."

"By the way, I have already registered the two songs "if you" and "Come on" that you gave me, Jing Yuan, do I need to put them in the music library?"

In the end, Park Jae-hyun remembered something that Chi Jingyuan told him two days ago, and quickly added something.

"Forget about "if you", we can sing it by ourselves..."

Chi Jingyuan pondered for a while, and said to the phone: "The other song is a girl group song, let's put it in the music library."

"Ok."

 Happy National Day, old man

  on vacation!
