Chapter 224 The Rise of EXO

Under the eyes of everyone, on December 2007th, 30, SM Entertainment officially released their rookie group. On the same day, this group called EXO held fan meetings in Seoul, the capital of South Korea, and in Kyoto, China. They officially debuted and released their first mini-album "MAMA" at the same time, selling [-] copies within a week in Asia.

This result is really nothing compared to Chaoyang Group at the beginning, but now under the impact of the Internet, the newcomer's first mini album has such a result, which is already the best-selling in recent years.

Especially in comparison, in the same year, the album sales of other groups in the first week were around 10,000, and even better, it was between 20+ and 30, and none of them could sell [-].

Therefore, the debut of the EXO group can be said to be a great success, especially this group has attracted countless fans in China, Japan, and South Korea in just one month, and their mini album is also officially released. It reached 100 million copies of platinum, although the mini album cannot be compared with the regular album, but at this time, in the whole of Asia, who would dare to say that this group is not popular?

Looking at the popularity lists of China, Japan, South Korea, and the Three Kingdoms, the number one ranking has all become EXO. Even though this list has limited effect and the speed of change is fast, there is no doubt that EXO is hot.

Therefore, under the ulterior motives of the media, it seems that EXO really has the strength to inherit the legacy of their predecessor TVXQ and then catch up with the miracle of Asian groups - Chaoyang Group. Almost all the media are predicting that EXO will be in a few days It will reach the height of Chaoyang Combination in the next year, and will break the record of Chaoyang Combination that year.

Especially the Korean media, they were so excited that they almost went crazy, and they almost put the crown of the first Asian group, the new king-level group in Asia, on the head of EXO.

All the news related to EXO is the front page headlines, and the twelve members are surrounded by fans wherever they go, looking like a superstar.

And the Huaxia media also called it a half-China music group because half of the six members in the group were from China. The six Huaxia members followed the reports and became more popular and popular in China than other members.

All this made SM's executives overjoyed, so they immediately decided to accelerate the group's development plan. EXO began to appear frequently on the stages of Asian countries, causing cheers wherever they went. In contrast, when Koreans cheered However, the music companies of China and Japan frowned.

In particular, China's record companies are even more troubled. With the fans jubilant, there are still many fans who are not satisfied with the current situation. Not to mention the hostility of fans of young domestic groups to the rise of EXO, it is just some ordinary fans. Fans are also very dissatisfied with what the media said that EXO will break Chaoyang's miracle and create a new group record in Asia.

As a miracle and monument of Chinese music, Chaoyang Group is the common glory of all Chinese musicians and fans, but at this time, there is another Korean group to replace our pride, even though half of them are Chinese, but that Isn't half of them Korean?

Such a thing is very uncomfortable for some fans who value these honors very much.Especially EXO has just debuted, all the media are talking about it, just like Chaoyang group and other Huaxia groups are definitely losers, no one can compare to this Korean group, so it makes people feel uncomfortable.

The fans are upset, so they will feed back to the record company, complaining why they can't release a more popular group than EXO?

Chaoyang group won back the honor for our music scene, are we going to hand it over like this today?
Not only the fans are dissatisfied, but the record company and some musicians in the music scene are also dissatisfied. However, after much deliberation, everyone can’t think of any good solution. It’s not that everyone doesn’t work hard, but it’s because they really don’t know how to create a song that surpasses EXO. Or a combination as successful as the Chaoyang combination.

The success of the Chaoyang group cannot be replicated, because they can't find a new Ning Sheng. What's more, the youth-style works are not as amazing as before. Fans have different preferences in different periods, and like Korean Huaxia didn't agree with the production method of the group, and couldn't do it. From the law to the social situation, to the market environment, Huaxia's record company had no motivation, no willingness, and couldn't do things like Korean music companies.

For example, a Korean music company can sign a trainee and let you practice and train in the company for several years, or even ten years, and you may be forced to quit in the end, or even if you debut, it will be a long-term slave contract to ensure that the company The recovery of investment and the capture of greater profits.

And if you do this in Huaxia, first, the law does not allow it, second, no one will obediently do it for a few years, more than ten years as a trainee, and third, domestic companies do not have the star-making ability of the Korean industrial chain.

So, under unimaginable circumstances, everyone thought of Ning Sheng, the soul who created the glory of Chaoyang Group back then.

However, at this time, Ning Sheng was still filming several winter scenes for "The Legend of Condor Heroes", and the filming was going smoothly, and outsiders could not find him at all, because when filming in these scenic spots, Ning Sheng wanted not to affect his own Thoughts, the phone was turned off directly, and there was no contact except for calling home at noon every day.

So, when Ning Sheng couldn't be found, the media went to interview the other two members of the Chaoyang Group, hoping to get some advice or opinions from them.

Ding Xuan, who recorded his English album in the United States, finally finished the recording at the beginning of December, and went to visit his good friend Britney Spears, and Britney couldn’t escape the eyes of the paparazzi wherever she went , So the domestic reporters quickly found Ding Xuan, and after Ning Sheng and Britney Spears watched a Super Bowl game in the United States, they were surrounded by reporters.

Because Britney was around, they had been surrounded by reporters many times, so Ding Xuan wanted to protect Britney away, but unexpectedly this time the reporter directly interviewed him, and not the previous ones who asked about him and Britney Instead of a question of relationship, a new question is asked.

"Ding Xuan, as a member of the Chaoyang Group, what do you think was the key to the success of the Chaoyang Group back then?"

Ding Xuan was stunned for a moment, only to realize that there were several Chinese people among the reporters who surrounded him this time. He asked back, "Are you from China?"

"Yes, we came here on purpose from China. Now the Asian and Korean group EXO is rising strongly, and the domestic groups are defeated and unable to resist. Therefore, we would like to ask the old members of the Chaoyang group, what suggestions do you have for the development of domestic groups? better, or let the record company have a better way to cultivate groups?"

Ding Xuan laughed and said, "If I knew this, I would start a company and be a singer. That's fine, I'm not convenient now. If you really want to interview, please contact my agent later, and we will find someone else." Time to talk."
