Chapter 270: Album Postponement(2/2)
During the filming of the "MV" for the first song, he was the most important person." Li Changcan said with a salute.
"Has the return time been determined?"
"According to the previous progress, April 15 has been determined. We are preparing to officially announce the news on April 1, and at the same time conduct the first wave of publicity and warm-up."
"…………"
Li Xiuman took the pen and scratched it casually on the A4 paper in front of him, then looked at Jin Yingmin next to him, nodded and exchanged glances with each other, put down the pen and said in a deep voice: "Then postpone it, let Jingyuan
Let’s take a few days off and let the other members relax.”
"But director Nim, if it is postponed, EXO's return will be at the end of April or early May, and then the return period will overlap with their first Asian tour."
Li Changcan was a little anxious and said quickly: "Furthermore, the negotiations between the company departments, including the overall publicity plan and pre-sale opening time, as well as the communication with the TV station, have been completed. If it is postponed now..."
"Then why don't you go shoot the MV instead of Jingyuan?"
Li Xiuman looked at him with a smile, interrupted Li Changcan's words, his tone was playful, but everyone sat upright.
"I mean……"
"okay……"
Lee Soo Man tapped the table three times with his fingers overlapping, as if he was a little impatient. He glanced around with squinted eyes and emphasized: "EXO's return will be postponed for now. The specific return time will be determined after Jingyuan recovers from his illness and returns to the group."
The progress is confirmed.”
"The Propaganda Department will make preparations and release the news about the postponement of the return tomorrow."
"Give it to Smecta."
Li Changcan and the surrounding management immediately bowed and saluted.
…………
SM company made two announcements for two consecutive days. The first one explained the cause of Chi Kyung-won's accident and his current physical condition. At the same time, he apologized to fans and said that he would pay more attention to the health of his artists.
The second one was to announce that EXO's comeback originally scheduled for mid-April would be postponed due to the health of the members. The specific time is still uncertain, and then he apologized.
The first announcement made the flood of abuse against SM on the Internet stop a lot, and many fans also stopped. Since Chi Jingyuan is fine, that's fine. They have vented their anger and are happy with the scolding.
Moreover, this time SM actually took the initiative to apologize to artists and fans for the first time. This made many fans a little surprised and excited. They thought that their fighting was effective and led to this result. They were even more happy and even had feelings for SM.
I gained some good feelings, and at the same time I was ready for the next battle.
The announcement of the postponement of the second album also caused a lot of discussion. Many people expressed their dissatisfaction with the postponement of the album after waiting for a long time, but most of them expressed their appreciation for this behavior. After all, it was postponed voluntarily due to the health of its artists.
, can be regarded as the conscience of the industry, and they all expressed that they are very much looking forward to XO's return this time and will definitely buy their album to support them.
The most interesting thing is that through the apology and album postponement for this incident, SM has actually gained a lot of favor from fans and passers-by. The reviews have strangely improved a lot online, which is really ironic.
Chi Jingyuan returned to the dormitory after staying in the hospital for two days, and had a good rest in the dormitory for a few days.
His illness was not serious to begin with, and he recovered quickly after receiving treatment, rest, and food. The day after he returned to the dormitory, he was almost well enough to return to the team, but the company insisted on giving him two extra days of free time.
Damn it, anyway, the album has been postponed and the time is not as urgent as before. Let him make a complete recovery and stop making trouble.
Although the other members are not taking the holidays together, they are still practicing and running schedules, but thanks to him, they have felt a lot more relaxed these days. They don't have to work overtime until two or three in the morning to catch up with the progress like some time ago.
These days, members can go back to the dormitory to rest before twelve o'clock in the evening. Everyone feels more energetic after getting enough sleep.
However, some people are depressed and don't seem to be very happy.
Until March 22nd, after having rested for several days, Chi Jingyuan, who was healthy and healthy, was sitting on the sofa in the dormitory. There was a variety show on the TV with the volume turned up loudly, but he did not watch it, but listened to it.
The voice was scrolling through the phone, paying attention to the recent interesting things in the entertainment industry.
BTS ended a month of singing competitions. Although they did not win any of the singing competitions this time, their return this time has received a lot of praise for their unique style and personalized stage, and their fans have increased significantly.
After ending their singing career, the agency 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 idols have some names in the peninsula, the company will choose to explore overseas markets.
At present, there is no successful precedent for entering the United States. The common choices are Neon or Xiaguo.
Originally, Big Hit was a little hesitant about which one to choose, but because EXO was very successful in Xia Guo, and they happened to have Xia Guotong in the team, they decided to go to Xia after some discussion, and their return this time
The title song itself is a bilingual version.
Only then did Chi Jingyuan find out that BTS's comeback title song "Man" actually had a Xia version, and the lyrics were written by Fang Wenshan, a well-known lyricist in Xia. From this, it can be seen that they have long been interested in the Xia market.
I am so coveted that I am confident that I have made preparations in advance.
With a bit of expectation, Chi Jingyuan went online to watch the Xiawen version of the MV for "A Man". After two minutes, he silently closed the page with an uncontrollable crazy smile.
Wish them all the best, he remembered that BTS still has two good-looking members, and with Wu Saek as the Chinese-speaking member, the development momentum should be pretty good.
Girls' Generation breathed a sigh of relief after finishing their singing competition with Yuan&suzy's "Some". With the dark cloud hanging over their heads gone, they managed to fend off the gods this week and won the top spot in all singing competitions.
The trophy also allowed the SONES to overcome their disappointment in the previous two weeks and get back on their feet.
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 outrageous, and the popularity and national popularity of Ji Kyung Won and Bae Suzy's partnership are too high, otherwise they should change
As for opponents, Girls' Generation could have won at least several first places in the first two weeks.
After all, although the sound source of "mr.mr." is lacking in stamina, it is explosive. Their current album sales of 140,000 are indeed down by half compared to last year, but they are still clearly inferior compared to other girl groups.
However, sone's good days will not last for a few days. 2NE1, whose performance last year was very poor and was criticized a lot, has made a very strong comeback with the regular second album "Crush". Sales and music sources have all rebounded, and the double hit "come back home"
and "Gotta Be You" performed very well on the music charts and have overshadowed Girls' Generation.
Especially for the former, if "Some", which had been released for a month, was still too strong to firmly dominate the weekly charts, "Come Back Home" might have won the weekly crown in the first week of its comeback.
In addition to the battle between these two old rival girl groups, 4minute, whose fifth mini-album on the 17th contained the title song "What Are You Doing Today", also performed very well.
In addition, ACUBE also announced that Apink will return on March 31st. The title song "mr.chu" has released a trailer video, and the response has been very good.
The competition among these girl groups is really fierce. Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but sigh as he watched the comeback news coming out one by one.
By the way, Apink's title song "mr.chu" also has 'mr' in it. Maybe it will be interesting to reveal a relationship or something like Girls' Generation.
In Chi Jingyuan's view, the word 'mr' is already a curse.
"ring……"
The cell phone rang suddenly, it was Park Jae-hyun's call.
"Brother, what's wrong?" Chi Jingyuan answered the phone easily, and at the same time picked up the remote control and turned down the volume of the TV.
"Jingyuan, how is your health?"
"It's no problem. In fact, it was fine the day before yesterday... I'm really not used to having so much free time these past two days."
"I have already told the company that I will go back tomorrow."
Chi Jingyuan glanced at the TV and replied with a chuckle.
After I fully recovered, I felt like I was reborn, and I was very energetic.
"That's good, that's what I'm telling you. SM has received several invitations. The 'Seoul Fashion Week' is coming to an end. After you return tomorrow, you will go to the company first, and then the first trip will be to go see it.
show."
"Watching a show?" Chi Jingyuan was stunned for a moment, a little surprised.
"Hey, this 'Seoul Fashion Week' will be held at Seoul Design Culture Park on March 21st. You EXO will be the opening performer and catwalk guest, but you were in the hospital that day and couldn't come. The other 11 members performed..."
Park Jae-hyun began to explain: "I heard that several designers working with the organizer admire you very much. They think you have a very good temperament and figure and are suitable for the catwalk. The organizer also attaches great importance to your popularity and has sent many invitations to SM.
.”
"Come on, brother, I can't walk in the show." Chi Jingyuan smiled bitterly.
"You need to practice for catwalks in advance. You don't have this time. This time you just have to go for an interview and watch a show at the same time. It's a very relaxing schedule, which is perfect for you who have just recovered from illness."
"After you come back, EXO's album production will start again, and you will definitely be busy again." Park Jae Hyun's tone sounded quite relaxed.
"Okay, I understand."
"By the way, I have already registered the two songs "If You" and "Come on" that you gave me, Jingyuan. Do I need to put them into the music library?"
At the end of his speech, Park Jae-hyun remembered something Chi Jingyuan told him two days ago and quickly added.
"Forget it about "if you", we can sing it ourselves..."
Chi Jingyuan pondered for a moment, then said to his mobile phone: "The other song is a girl group song, just put it in the music library."
"OK."
Happy National Day, buddy
on vacation!
