Chapter 542 Became Popular

"Halloween party?"

Chi Jingyuan looked over and found that the people sitting on the sofa were all looking at him, obviously these people were talking about this topic just now.

Since last year, SM company will hold a Halloween party on the eve of Halloween every year. Artists under the company will make up and cosplay as well-known characters from movies or anime to gather for dinner and fun. There will also be idol guest hosts. Some employees of the company, especially Li Xiuman, will usually be there for activities and small games.

It can be regarded as giving the artist a vacation and at the same time can enhance the relationship. Afterwards, SM's official SNS will also upload the photos taken, which can be regarded as publicity.

This year's Halloween party is held on the day after tomorrow on the 29th, except for Park Chanyeol and Do Kyungsoo who can't come due to their personal schedules, everyone else will be there.

"I haven't figured it out yet, let's cosplay any anime character, Luffy, Xiaozhi, Xiaojiro and so on, I happened to have their clothes before." Chi Jingyuan responded casually while changing his shoes: "The faceless man is actually It’s not bad, just put the clothes on the outside, it’s convenient and easy.”

At that time, he mainly wanted to join in the fun of this party, but he didn't think of coming up with a shocking cosplay to attract everyone's attention. He still has a little bit of idol baggage, and he still can't do some too funny things.

"Then it's better to cosplay Ace directly, and pass by with your upper body naked. It's definitely more exciting than Luffy. All the female idols in the audience are staring at you."

It seems that Chi Jingyuan's thoughts are very common, Park Chanyeol frowned when he heard it, and enthusiastically gave his own opinion.

"I feel good!"

"Hahaha, Jing Yuan won't do this kind of thing, he doesn't even want to lift the hem of his clothes at the concert."

"Besides, it's cold even wearing a sweater in this weather recently. Isn't it fatal to be naked?"

As soon as this idea came up, several members nearby laughed out loud, a little bit agreeing and some objecting, but it seemed that they were quite looking forward to the party the day after tomorrow.

Seeing that Chi Jingyuan didn't say anything, Park Chanyeol was a little disappointed: "Oh, you people's cosplay is not creative at all, what a waste of opportunity, unfortunately I have a schedule and can't go, if I can..."

"Brother, who do you want to cosplay as?"

Chi Jingyuan, who walked in, turned to look at him and asked while walking towards the bathroom to wash his face.

This brother was in high spirits, proudly talking about his plan: "I've already thought it all out. When I hold a Halloween party next year, I'll cosplay as Iron Man, and I'll definitely get the No.1 reward."

Every year at the party, one cos most interesting and brightest idol will be selected and given a 'Asia Travel Coupon' as a reward.

Chi Jingyuan looked at the excited and expectant expression on Park Chanyeol's face, and found it very interesting.

It turns out that apart from having private meetings with all kinds of female idols, makeup artists and other heterosexuals, you also have this hobby?
He applauded perfunctorily: "This idea is great, I'll wait until next year to see it."

……

After washing his face, Chi Jingyuan returned to his room.

As the end of the year awards season approaches, all the idols in the music industry are also busy, and EXO is no exception. The concert starting at the end of the month and their Japanese debut next month will continue until the end of the year. Their schedules are basically not broken.

As for Chi Jingyuan, in addition to team activities, the next audition for "Signal" needs to be carefully prepared, and what is even more troublesome is that the school has to start various assessments at the decisive time of schoolwork, so he won't be able to watch it for a few months. The level of the textbook several times is really a bit difficult to deal with.

But there is no way, after all, a university degree is still very important, and I can only take some time to come out and cram for a while.

Sighing, he took out the textbook from the side, forced his attention to concentrate, and began to review.

……

Two days passed in a flash, and the Halloween party that many people were looking forward to was soon poured down.

SM organized this party with great care. In addition to various preparations, various Halloween-style decorations were made in the lobby of the hotel, creating a very strong atmosphere.

And because I am very busy at work, it is hard to hold such an interesting party, and the other people who participated are also familiar peers and seniors of the company, so most of the idols present are also very attentive, all kinds of strange costumes cos made Chi Jingyuan, who was sitting at EXO's table looking around after arriving at the scene, dazzled.

Pirate Captain Minho is really well dressed, the big braids and eyeliner really look like Johnny Depp.

Kim Ki-beom and Onew dressed as Uncle McDonald's and Grandpa KFC respectively, Kim Jong-hyun's Sassaengwan, Seohyun's witch, and Kai's clown all looked interesting.

Girls' Generation is a bit disappointing, they are all seniors who are already a few years old, and they even put on a Disney costume together, especially Senior YoonA, who wears Mickey Mouse ears and a red bow on his head, and is dressed in gorgeous clothes. Dressed up as a princess in a red dress, although she is low-cut, she can't actually see anything, and her cute ambition is very obvious.

Not interesting.

In the end, I don’t know if it’s a prophecy. Someone really cosplayed as Ace at this Halloween party. TVXQ’s Changmin directly made a few tattoo stickers, and came in with his upper body naked, which immediately aroused the cheers of the audience. , Chi Jingyuan also felt that this cosplay was very powerful, so he applauded and booed.

Today, he cosplays as Xiaozhi in Pokémon, and he chose a pair from that day in "Pokémon XY", a vest with a blue background and white border, red and black gloves and shoes, and the logo The sexy hat actually looks pretty good on him, especially when he turned the brim of the hat backwards on his head.

"quite handsome."

Pei Zhuxuan, who was sitting right behind Chi Jingyuan, looked him up and down, with shining eyes, and praised with a smile.

Each group basically sat at a table, and the table of red velvet happened to be next to EXO.EXO was the first to arrive at night. When Led Beibei came, the young lady glanced at it, she was very natural, she pulled away the stool closest to Chi Jingyuan and sat down, and Chi Jingyuan followed suit Tilting the stool over, directly formed a scene of sitting side by side.

"..."

Facing others' compliments, Chi Jingyuan slightly raised his eyebrows, as if it should be taken for granted, and when the young lady covered her mouth and giggled, she took advantage of the opportunity to look back.

Pei Zhuxuan is wearing short-sleeved white bottom and red sleeves today, paired with denim shorts to create a look where the bottom is missing. A big red baseball cap with wings on both sides is covered on her head, making her face look much smaller. The final finishing touch The highlight is a pair of round-rimmed black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of the nose, which suddenly makes the whole person look cute.

"Arale?"

Chi Jingyuan instantly recognized the target of this sister's cosplay tonight. Not to mention, although her hair was not dyed purple, Pei Zhuxuan, who was wearing a big hat and big black-rimmed glasses, looked pretty good. It's really cute.

Another very different style from usual.

"Kiyo~" Chi Jingyuan nodded and praised.

Facing Chi Jingyuan's compliment, Pei Zhuxuan also accepted it as it was ordered. Although he didn't say anything, he shook his head with some enjoyment, and the two little wings on his head also swayed left and right.

The two sat in this episode and looked around. After chatting in a low voice, she asked out of curiosity, "Who do you think cosplays the best today?"

"You."

"Haha." Pei Zhuxuan couldn't help laughing, and gave him a blank look: "I'm serious...except me."

"That……"

Chi Jingyuan looked around, and finally his eyes stopped on Jin Yilin who was a few meters away: "Then I think it's Yilin, her dress really suits her."

This will make Jin Yelin wearing the iconic Hogwarts school uniform and wizard robe in Harry Potter, with long curly brown hair, it looks like a lot of movie characters.

At this time, she was holding a small broom in her left hand and a magic staff in her right hand. She was casting unknown spells on Luna, Chen and the others biu back and forth in front of her, grinning happily.

"I also think Yerin looks good in this outfit, kiyo~"

Pei Zhuxuan looked over and nodded to confirm. After thinking about it for a while, she suddenly pulled out her phone and poked Chi Jingyuan with her elbow: "It's hard to cosplay once, take a picture."

"Oh."

Chi Jingyuan leaned over and bumped his shoulders against her, but he still warned: "Don't send out this kind of group photo."

"You don't need to say that? I saw it myself..."

……

After the party, SM's official account sent most of the photos taken tonight, including the cosplay close-ups of the artists, to the Internet, which immediately attracted the eager attention of many fans.

Although Chi Jingyuan's Xiaozhi's outfit is good, it is not too conspicuous in other various and gaudy cosplays, so he has won fans some "so handsome" and "like coming out of an anime". class evaluation.

But this kind of rainbow fart has been heard too much, in fact, I don't feel much about it anymore.

After the Halloween party on the 29th, EXO took a flight with the team to Neon Kyushu Island in the morning of the next day. From tomorrow, they will start to focus all their energy on the next period of activities on the Neon side up.

Starting from October 10st, in less than half a month, EXO will hold 31 concerts, and [-] of them will be in the arena.

As far as Neon’s debut is concerned, compared to releasing albums and recording some variety shows, whether it’s the company or EXO itself, they actually pay more attention to the upcoming concert, which is the most important thing for them next. Activity.

After the two-day concert in Fukuoka, Kyushu on October 10st and November 31st ended perfectly, the EXO group flew to Tokyo to start making final preparations for their debut and dome tour.

On November 11, among the major end-of-year award ceremonies in the music industry this year, the "MelOn Music Awards", which is MMA, was the first to announce the guest list for the gala on the 2th. It caused quite a bit of controversy.

Because this year's MMA show is headed by bigbang, EXO, whose popularity and popularity are at their peak, unexpectedly missed this awards ceremony.

Although both the MMA official and SM explained through SNS that EXO was unable to participate in this year's MMA due to time conflicts due to the confirmed overseas itinerary, and expressed sincere apologies to the fans, but it still made many viewers and fans a little dissatisfied. Some people instantly feel that this year's MMA is a bit dim.

Apart from EXO, Girls' Generation didn't have a stage, and there were no artists in SM except red velvet, which made many SM fans extremely disappointed.

The online discussions and many negative comments also made the organizers of the end-of-year parties clearly understand who this year's general trend is, and MMA directly distributed the TOP10 trophy to Yuan Zai Ni a few days in advance. Rainbow Tokyo's EXO, incidentally let them record an award-winning VCR.
"1, 2, 3, we are one, Aniha Sai, we are EXO."

Facing the camera, the five members waved and greeted, Chi Jingyuan stood beside him and smiled, and Jin Junmian stood in the middle holding the trophy. Several people began to record their acceptance speeches in advance.

"We are very happy that EXO has selected the TOP2015 of the 10 MelOn Music Awards, really honored, oh oh oh..."

Several people applauded and cheered together.

"Because of the overseas schedule, I'm really sorry that I couldn't be with everyone. Not only us, but Melon also has many outstanding artists from the younger generation. Please look forward to it..."

An award-winning video is not difficult. After the recording, several people watched it together with MMA. After confirming that there is no problem, the organizer's working group said goodbye.

"Ah, I can't go to this year's MMA, so I don't know if the grand prize will be given to us."

As soon as the MMA people left, several members of EXO sat down with a sigh of relief. Jin Zhongda took the TOP10 trophy from the captain, looked it over carefully, and asked a little worried.

They recorded the TOP10 awards. I don’t know if they can win the last three awards.

The organizers of these end-of-year award ceremonies usually communicate with the artists who have won other awards in advance and notify each other, and then the agency and the artist will decide whether to allow the artist to attend based on whether they can win the award.

For example, EXO's TOP 10 this time, including Chi Jingyuan, also knows that red velvet has already booked the best dance award.

But the suspense of the three awards will be kept until the end, and it will be spread if it cannot be realized.

EXO has always been the winner of award ceremonies since the second year of their debut, such awards like TOP 10 have long been indifferent to them, and it is a ghost if they can't get it.

This year, because of EXO's astonishing results, after becoming the top boy group, many members are actually full of ambitions for the awards ceremony at the end of the year, and some people even thought about winning three major awards directly in the chat.

For those male and female groups in the music industry who can't even get a big award, this ambition is unreasonable, but many members think it is not impossible.

"You don't have to think about it all."

Chi Jingyuan also looked at the transparent trophy in Jin Zhongda's hand, and said directly: "Even if our results are a little better than bigbang, it is impossible for the organizer to give awards consecutively to a group that did not show up. This kind of award-winning VCR records a It’s almost the same, and it’s not appropriate to have more. In this way, every time the award is presented, the award presenter will stand on it stupidly, but the award winner will not be there. The scene is so embarrassing, it will become a laughing stock.”

"And our grades are good, bigbang is not bad, and the sound source of "bangbangbang" is so good, it is either the first or the second in the annual list."

"For this year's MMA, we probably will have a big award. If there is no accident, it should be 'Album of the Year'. Even if we don't show up, this award cannot be given to Bigbang. No one is our opponent in terms of sales. The gap too big."

In this year’s peninsula music industry, apart from the women’s group battle in summer, the most attention-grabbing point is naturally the peak battle between EXO and bigbang. The two top boy groups can be said to directly attract most of the audience’s attention in the first half of the year. They are all attracted to them, and the boy group itself will overwhelm the girl group to a certain extent, and you can meet them. If EXO is absent, this year's MMA should be dominated by bigbang.

"Oh, what a pity."

Several people also understood this truth, but they still sighed with regret. Although they have won many awards since 13, who would dislike too many awards.

Moreover, in 2015, EXO left the group last year due to a big love affair, and was looked down upon by everyone, but this year it will be an important year to reach the peak again, and many members want to feel proud at the year-end awards ceremony.

It's still a problem with the MMA organizers, they insist on opening MMA on the 7th, at that time EXO is holding a dome concert in Tokyo, how could they make it back.

Looking at the disappointed members, Chi Jingyuan felt amused in his heart, stood up and stretched:

"Anyway, if you can't go, don't even think about it, let's wait for MAMA next month..."

……

After busy preparations, EXO officially released their neon debut album "boy with luv~~~romantic universe~" on November 11th

The front of the album name refers to the title song "boy with luv", and the latter refers to the concept of the album and the song "Love Me Right"

The prefixes and suffixes add up to a very long and very strange album title.

This is the name given by Ai Hui's suggestion.

EXO’s Neon debut was naturally signed by a local company. Many years ago, SM had a close relationship with Japan’s Aihui, and all the activities of its artists in Neon were handed over to Aihui’s company. But it is said that when TVXQ split, the two This company had a conflict because of some things, and subsequently EXO's seniors from the same company, including Girls' Generation, SHinee, and FX, did not sign Ai Hui for the Neon activities, and all signed Universal.

Recently, I heard that it was Ai Hui who took the initiative to show his favor or what happened. This time EXO debuted and re-signed Ai Hui, and their debut album and a series of activities in Neon are also Ai Hui. Arranged.

Several songs included in this debut album, such as "boy with luv" and "Love Me Right", have all rewritten lyrics, redistributed parts, and re-shot MVs, especially the re-shot MVs. The difference between the two is very big, it is almost completely overthrown and restarted, and a lot of scenes and settings such as being handsome, cute, and even pretending to be cold have been added in the middle that Chi Jingyuan can't understand and can't figure out the meaning.

Even some shapes look exactly the same as the original ones.

These are also designed by Ai Hui, and according to their swearing, this style is popular in Neon.

OK, you are a local snake, listen to you.

Anyway, he is not a producer, and Chi Jingyuan doesn't have much idea.

Although it feels a little strange, but with the reputation and popularity of EXO for many years, and the blessing of the song "boy with luv" which was already popular in Neon, this debut album "boy with luv~ ~~romantic universe~" immediately topped the Oricon chart after it was released, and sold 12 copies in just one day, breaking the record set in 2011 and maintained by Jang Keun Suk for the debut single album of a peninsula artist. sales record.

This style has really become aggressively popular.
