Chapter 499 Rainstorm
"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 points that need attention. Among them, as the head of the main management office, Lee Seung-hwan is the status Highest.

"Ah."

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 [-]st, and our XO was the first batch to experience it. It was officially launched on September [-]st. 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.

"I know 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 feel much about 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, as the popularity is getting higher and higher, now it’s the harvest season. Now the whole 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. Except for 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 expected before, especially the unit 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 interests 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 character settings. If one of them writes too watery songs, it will be easy to be stepped down 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."

"A matching face! When I saw this scene, I wanted to knock Yuan and IU's CP, wow, I suddenly feel that they are a good match..."

Chi Jingyuan, who was reading the comments below, couldn't help laughing when he saw this CP message.

This viewer’s hope may be difficult to achieve. IU has a boyfriend now. Although it has not been disclosed to the public, it is not a big secret in the circle. Chi Jingyuan heard Park Chanyeol mention it a long time ago, and I heard that it has been Been dating for a long time.

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

The song he prepared for "Gayo Festival" is progressing very quickly, both in terms of tune and lyrics.

Originally, he didn't intend to use this song as a band song, but later he confirmed that he would use it. When he tried to adapt it, he found that the original song was very suitable for changing to this style, and it was also quite suitable for changing to a lyrical song.

There is no difficulty in the lyrics, it is nothing more than extending inspiration and imagination, telling stories or stacking vocabulary.

But the name...

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

When I didn't fill in the lyrics, the song title I used temporarily was "Star", but now it seems a bit inappropriate, too straightforward, and doesn't match the depth and style of the lyrics.

What should I change to...

Sitting on the stool and meditating for 2 minutes, not knowing what he remembered, Chi Jingyuan chuckled, rolled back the title of "Stars", and typed in a new name lightly:

"The Roof Room"

…………

"The weather is gloomy."

Standing at the exit connecting the stage to the stage, Wu Shixun poked his head out to look at the dark, gloomy, cloud-covered sky, and said worriedly, "Will it rain later?"

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

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

This is another themed concert hosted by LOTTE to promote themselves and give back to fans. Many popular artists and idol groups who have cooperated with themselves and popular artists and idol groups are invited to perform on stage. Regardless of the number of audience or guest lineup, in Platter concerts are all very powerful.

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

Chi Jingyuan turned his gaze from Infinite who was rehearsing to the sky, and followed suit.

In the past two days, besides finishing the song "Roof Tower", he also participated in the recording of "Infinite Challenge Song Festival". In the process of producing songs separately, each group had some entanglements or frictions. This link is to unify everyone’s emotions while playing some small games, and at the same time unify the divergent opinions among 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 a big disagreement before, they quickly reached a settlement in the subsequent recording and the progress was amazing. Other groups are still struggling to the end When it comes to what song to use, they directly and unanimously determined the style and demo of the two songs, and even now Chi Jingyuan's capital is almost completed.

So in this episode, he didn't have the opportunity to perform. According to the script given by the writer, he performed a few scenes and made a few small games, which would be considered a great success.

"Didn't you read the weather forecast? It was reported that there would be heavy rain today. Did the audience who didn't read it when they entered the venue prepared raincoats?"

For the fuss of this group of people, Jin Minxi expressed some helplessness.

Don't they read the weather forecast?
"The weather forecast is inaccurate. It often says that it rains and it doesn't rain in the end. I've stopped watching it a long time ago." As if to save his respect, Wu Shixun, who was the first to say that the weather was bad, tried to explain a few more words.

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

At the beginning, it was just a very restrained small drop, and in the afternoon, the sky began to explode, and the torrential rain swept down instantly, covering the whole city with a layer of gloom. The sound of huge raindrops dripping on the ground, 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 of the stage, the rain will not affect the start of the performance.Although Chi Jingyuan and the others would complain a few words, they were already used to it.

After all, as a popular group, who doesn't have a few famous stages in the rain?

EXO's rainstorm "MAMA" stage at the family concert has been regarded as a classic by many fans. The related videos and pen-hold shots of members have a very high number of clicks on Youtube, and even passers-by are quite shocked after seeing it.

Speaking of it, Tao seems to have left because of this stage...

As the scheduled time came, tens of thousands of spectators wearing raincoats entered and sat down, and 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 they were not their favorite idols on the stage, 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 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 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 2 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 drenched 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 microphone. 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……"
