peninsula asteroid.

"Variety show?"

After reading the beginning, Chi Jingyuan knew what type of case this was. It was written clearly at the beginning of the document:
""Unlimited challenge"?"

"Well, MBC's "Infinite Challenge" is not an ordinary flying guest, it's a biennial 'Gayo Festival' special." Sitting across from him, Lee Seung-hwan took out an identical file and opened it.

"I remember, something went wrong with "Infinite Challenge" some time ago?" While looking at the information, Chi Jingyuan recalled the news he had read before, and asked with his head down somewhat uncertain.

"Well, the 'Native Songs' special of "Infinite Challenge" at the beginning of the year was very popular, but when the sixth person was selected in April, it was exposed that the candidate Zhang Dongmin belittled women."

"Even after Zhang Dongmin apologized and withdrew from the show, "Infinite Challenge" still received a lot of criticism, and then the show team quickly joined Huang Guangxi as the sixth MC, but the audience's acceptance of him was still not very high, and The recent programs may also lack interest, and the ratings and word-of-mouth have continued to decline recently, and even the top four in the same time period that has been stuck for a long time can no longer be guaranteed."

Lee Seung-hwan obviously did a special research, gave Chi Jingyuan a few details, and casually touched on the key points: "Maybe because of the recent bad situation, the program team thought of holding a song festival. The song festival is "" Infinite Challenge" is a very famous special series. It has been held every two years since 07. Every time, popular guests will be invited to cooperate with MC. After composing songs, they will perform in public. You should know about Jing Yuan, so I won't go into details... ..."

"Well, I've watched two episodes, which are very interesting." Chi Jingyuan nodded in agreement.

"Nowadays, the Song Festival has gained a good reputation. Apart from the steady and skyrocketing ratings, every time it is held, it will cause a lot of repercussions. Not only will the performances of the guests become hot topics, but the music born in the program will also become the dominant source of music. The guarantee of popularity in the upper circle of the market..."

"This song festival is the best way for the "Infinite Challenge" program to improve the current bad situation. According to the program team, this year's festival is the largest in history. The popularity and strength of the invited guests are also the best. Top notch."

As he said that, Li Chenghuan looked at Chi Jingyuan and smiled a bit self-confidently: "No, we are invited."

"Am I the only one invited?"

"Because the guests are required to cooperate with the MC, and the guests are required to know how to compose songs, so..."

"Brother Chanyeol... Forget it."

After hearing this sentence, Chi Jingyuan made a joke like a conditioned reflex, but he stopped halfway through the sentence, feeling that it was too much, he raised his head and looked at Li Chenghuan, and the two laughed together.

"The program team attaches great importance to us. I have also seen the lineup of guests to be invited. There are popular singers, veteran artists, and powerful singer groups. No matter in terms of popularity, popularity, and quality and strength. Very well balanced and overall looking good and promising."

Listening to the other party's explanation and looking at some lists on the information, Chi Jingyuan nodded his head to verify, then suddenly raised his head and asked, "Brother, then which faction do you think we belong to?"

"Of course we have popularity and strength." Li Chenghuan spread his hands and said as a matter of course.

"Haha."

The two laughed a few times, and Lee Seung-hwan seemed to think of something: "By the way, it wasn't written in the information, but I heard that besides you, the program team is also planning to invite bigbang, it should be GD."

"Ah?" Hearing this, Chi Jingyuan was a little surprised: "Is it so creative?"

Although the competition between EXO and bigbang for the comeback in June has faintly differentiated advantages and disadvantages, the competition and hype between each other is still very fierce, and it is still one of the hottest topics in the music industry nowadays. The "Challenge" program group actually wanted to invite all the core members of the two groups, which can be said to be really ambitious.

"Yes, but it hasn't been confirmed yet, but I think judging from the current situation of our XO and bigbang, if YG knew you would participate, they might not let you come over."

Lee Seung-hwan also laughed, thinking that this program group is really interesting: "However, if there is a conflict of principles in the participation of guests on both sides, the program group is biased towards our side. With the current popularity of EXO, you must be a guest. It will cause a lot of discussion...and GD has participated in it several times before."

"Ah."

Chi Jingyuan glanced at the materials from the beginning, and after listening to Li Chenghuan's introduction, he didn't think too much about it. He closed the materials in front of him and pouted at him: "The company can arrange it, I have no objections."

Although due to special reasons, Chi Jingyuan’s treatment in SM is higher than that of other members, and SM will discuss with him before picking up some personal itineraries and ask his opinion, but if Chi Jingyuan doesn’t particularly hate that itinerary, under normal circumstances It will not be specifically rejected.

After all, although there are privileges, it is actually a bit inappropriate to use them frequently.

And compared to Tuan Zong and those radio stations, Chi Jingyuan is quite interested in this program.

"I see."

Li Chenghuan nodded and smiled, as if he had anticipated Chi Jingyuan's opinion, he did not take back the information and handed it over to the other party: "Take this information Jingyuan back and look at it when you have time... ...This song festival is expected to have five to six episodes, and the first episode will be aired in early July, so it is estimated that the recording of the first episode will start soon after it is confirmed."

"It's still the mode of six groups of guests and six MCs working together, but I heard that Park Myung-soo, one of the MCs, may be absent due to physical reasons, so that the guests will join one more group...but it's not confirmed yet. That's it."

"OK, I understand." Chi Jingyuan made a gesture to Li Chenghuan, picked up the materials in front of him and stood up: "I will make preparations in advance, brother, come and talk about the recording time, is there anything else?"

Seeing the picture of Chi Jingyuan anxious to go back for vacation, Li Chenghuan also laughed, shook his head and waved his hands: "No, you go back first... By the way, remember to come back early tomorrow night."

"Don't worry brother, I'm not... Kang Sang Mita!"

……

Because the fact that we will have a holiday tomorrow obviously stimulated the excitement of many members, and the disbandment time is relatively early today.When Chi Jingyuan returned to the dormitory, there were not many people there at all, such as Park Chanyeol, Kim Jongin and others had long since disappeared, and even Chen, who seemed relatively honest, didn't know where to go.

I heard that he seems to be getting close to an amateur recently.

But it doesn't matter, they are all adults, as long as they don't come back too late at night or don't go home at night, the agent will not restrict too much.

Wu Shixun stayed in the dormitory uncharacteristically. After seeing him, Chi Jingyuan was a little surprised: "You didn't go out? Where's the female ticket?"

"No, I'm too lazy to go and I'm a little tired recently, and she's not in Seoul either." Wu Shixun lay on the sofa watching TV and replied lazily, then turned his head to look over: "Are you going tomorrow or not?"

What he said was that he and Jin Junmian made an appointment to go to the movies together and have a meal by the way. Jin Junmian found another good restaurant. He had called Chi Jingyuan twice before, but there was no clear answer. .

"Jing Yuan, let's go together tomorrow. That hot pot restaurant is very good. I heard that it is opened by Xia people. The taste is very authentic."

At this time, Jin Junmian, who had just taken a shower, came out as well, wiping his head, and also warmly invited.

"Wait a minute, let me think about it."

Chi Jingyuan didn't reply directly, but took out his mobile phone to look at it, and then responded perfunctorily.

It is estimated that Pei Zhuxuan is busy, and the text message he just sent to her has not been replied yet.

"cut."

Pretending not to hear Wu Shixun's dissatisfied voice, Chi Jingyuan sat on the sofa with Erlang's legs crossed, followed by watching TV.

"By the way, the B list will be updated again in the early hours of tomorrow. You won't be flying directly to the list this week, will you?"

"Probably not, I think it is possible to advance a few places."

While watching TV, while chatting casually, Chi Jingyuan interjected a few words from time to time, while talking, the phone vibrated, and Pei Zhuxuan's reply came.

EXO is on holiday tomorrow, originally Chi Jingyuan thought that he would just be free, so he could call Pei Zhuxuan to watch a movie together, which fulfilled the previous agreement, so he sent her a message just now.

It’s just that XO is on vacation, but red velvet is not free. I heard from her that red velvet is very busy preparing new album recently, and they have to go to the company for a meeting tomorrow.

pity.

But this is actually the normal state of popular idols, unless the two sticky balls can't even get a schedule with each other.

After sending a few text messages, Chi Jingyuan put down his phone, thought for a moment for two seconds, glanced at the two people next to him, and inserted in: "What movie will you watch tomorrow?"

The date I originally wanted couldn't come out, so I had no choice but to settle for the next best thing.

"Jingyuan, you're going too...Of course I'm going to watch "Jurassic World". It's only been released for two days. This is the hottest Hollywood blockbuster recently. We've been picking it for several days."

Jin Junmian's eyes lit up when he heard that, he likes a lot of people, and it would be more interesting to hang out with one more person. Hearing this, he immediately bowed half a meter to this side,

And Wu Shixun glanced at it suspiciously, but he didn't think much about it, and chatted with him.

These two teammates didn't know the twists and turns, and they didn't know that they had become a backup tire. They probably thought that their enthusiasm had impressed the maknae, and they started to talk about the recently released movie with Chi Jingyuan very enthusiastically. .

And Chi Jingyuan acted as if nothing had happened, and listened carefully, nodding his head from time to time to echo a few words, the atmosphere was very harmonious.

The next day, they slept until the sun was high and the three people who had made an appointment got up from the bed. Because there were not enough seats, Chi Jingyuan didn't drive. A few people sat in Jin Junmian's Audi and went to eat the authentic summer that he had been blowing for a long time. Chinese hot pot, after a full meal, we went to the cinema.

Not to mention that the taste is pretty good, and I didn't do too much localization. I feel like Xia Guo, Jin Junmian is really good at finding places to eat.

Three people in full camouflage, two tall and one short, wearing hats and masks appear together, usually quite eye-catching, but recently a new type of influenza is circulating in Seoul, whether it is on the street or in shopping mall cinemas Many people are wearing masks, which makes them less conspicuous.

Of course, there are also a lot of passers-by who don't care about the flu at all, and don't take any protective measures.

It's a pity that no matter how much they pretended to be Chi Jingyuan and the others, they were still too conspicuous. As soon as they walked out after watching the movie, they were blocked by a few female fans who had noticed them long ago.

Although the company stipulates that it is not allowed to take photos with fans in private, Chi Jingyuan really sighed in his heart when signing autographs for them. Fortunately, he went out to play with the members, and being squatted down is nothing to worry about.

If they were recognized together with Pei Zhuxuan, then they really don't know how to explain it.

If it is really with the young lady, it is estimated that it can only be reserved.

……

When the members of EXO spent their short vacations, their names once again appeared on the headlines of many news.

As the only peninsula boy group other than PSY that has its own voice on Ami, last week EXO's "boy with luv" hit the B chart for the first time and caused a sensation. expressed great concern.

In addition to the many fans and citizens who have become proud because of this incident, hoping that Chi Jingyuan and the others can continue to improve their performance, there are also many negative opponents, including most of the VIPs, who are all looking forward to it EXO is just a flash in the pan, flying the charts for a week.

And because of this attention, I didn’t wait until the morning. In the early hours of this morning, not long after the B list was refreshed, there were already drafts and news on the Internet. What disappointed many black fans was that EXO not only did not directly fly to the list this week, but directly It has moved forward ten places, directly climbing from 39 last week to 29, which can be said to be a great improvement.

Being able to climb up the list by such a magnitude as a foreign language song can already show that although Kpop songs such as "boy with luv" may still not be considered mainstream music, they already have a considerable number of fixed audiences .

At least on this song, they became EXO's audience.

And according to the research and observation of SM and some companies, after "boy with luv" was listed, in many Aramco forums and Google searches, the number of words such as EXO, "boy with luv" and Kpop appeared above [-]%. A magnitude visible to the naked eye rises rapidly.

Judging from these data and the current market reaction from Aramco, the Peninsula media has no problem with XO’s rainbow farts and bragging. At least they are really overseas this time, especially the US market to promote Kpop. gained a lot of popularity.

In the minds of many citizens and fans, market development is better than Wo Liheng itself. With the addition of this honor and influence, plus EXO's outstanding local achievements, in the eyes of many people, this Once the return of the two men's groups is reflected in the mirror, EXO is already one position ahead at present.

And when many VIPs began to question SM’s purchase of the troupe, questioned fans’ crazy swiping data, questioned Americans’ blindness, and even questioned the gold content of the B chart and the top [-] singles, after a day off, Chi Jingyuan felt refreshed After lunch with the members the next day, I came to the Summer Water Park, preparing to shoot this year's Baskin Robbins commercial.

Baskin Robbins is an ice cream advertising brand that EXO has cooperated with since its debut. Although the endorsement fee has increased many times with the rise of popularity and status over the years, the brand side is obviously very satisfied with the endorsement effect of EXO, even though the price has increased a lot. The cooperation has also been maintained.

At the same time, they also included SM's other three groups except EXO, SHinee, FX, and red velvet at one time, and they all acted as brand spokespersons to shoot commercials together.

Although the endorsement fee of the other three groups is much lower than that of EXO, but being able to invite so many popular groups to act as spokespersons, the brand side can also be called rich and powerful.

This time the theme of the ad is summer and ice cream. The shooting location was chosen to be in the summer water park. After EXO arrived at the scene, he first greeted the brand with his manager and the shooting group. After chatting for a few words, he went to the temporary fitting Change clothes in between, and start preparing after coming out.

"Jing Yuan!"

Not long after Chi Jingyuan came out, he heard a familiar voice calling him. He shook his head and saw that Cui Xueli, whom he hadn't seen for a while, was standing not far away, smiling and waving at each other.

And it wasn't just her, this shout also attracted the attention of the people nearby, or maybe they were actually observing this side secretly before, after Cui Xueli shouted out, like Pei Zhuxuan, like Zheng Xiujing, Although they were standing in different places, they all glanced over at the same time.

It's a bit of a text, and the number of words is a little less. Take the time today to sort out the outline
