Peninsula Asteroid

"Absolutely! Absolutely! Absolutely! Absolutely!"

The next day, I was eating outside with the members of Team K. Just after ordering and waiting for the food to be served, Chi Jingyuan took out his vibrating phone and took a look.

It was a message from Pei Zhuxuan, and when I opened it, there were four 'absolutes'.

Looking back, the following is a photo sent at the same time. On it, Bae Joohyun, Kang Seulgi, and Son Seungwan are all wearing loose sportswear, each posing some of Ji Kyungwon in the "dope" MV. part action.

Bae Joo-hyun tilted her head with crooked smiling eyes, Jiang Seul-ki compared her hands to shooting a gun, and Son Seung-wan was the funniest, with an exaggerated expression and her face wrinkled into a lump, with her hands crossed in front of her chest in a rapper-specific pose. I knew he was imitating Chi Jingyuan's way of rapping.

I don't know how many times they watched the MV and stage of "dope", but does Son Seungwan know that her expression is ugly...

The expressions of the three of them looking at the camera are very funny, but it feels like they are all smiling happily. I just don't know who took the pictures of them.

"Hehe..." Chi Jingyuan couldn't help laughing after seeing it.

Thinking of what Jiang Seulqi told him about their recent situation, Ji Jingyuan raised his eyes and pondered for two seconds, stood up and said to the members, "Make a call, I'll be right back" and then walked out of the box, dialing Pei Zhuxuan's number .

The phone beeped and connected quickly.

"You're not stuck..." Pei Zhuxuan's voice came from the phone, a little hoarse, it didn't sound very energetic, but there was a hint of surprise.

"Zhu Xuanxi." Chi Jingyuan called out.

"Inside." Pei Zhuxuan turned two corners for the pronunciation of a word, and seemed to be in a good mood.

"I saw the photo you sent me just now, thank you for your support..."

After Chi Jingyuan came out of the box, he looked around, found an empty window, and said to the phone at the same time: "It's just that you have a little idol burden, why can you take such weird photos like this?" nice?"

"puff……"

A crisp laugh came, and after a blunt moment, she could not help laughing in her tone: "Nai, there is a little bit, hahaha..."

Before she finished speaking, she laughed by herself, and she didn't know whether she was really burdened or happy to be praised.

Listening to the other party's smile, Chi Jingyuan also smiled and held the phone without speaking. After her laughter subsided a little, she asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

"Well, I just returned to the company after eating, and I'm going to start the afternoon practice after taking a break." Pei Zhuxuan replied briskly with a smile on his tone.

After exchanging a few simple greetings, looking at the street outside through the window, Chi Jingyuan thought for a while and said softly:

"I heard Seul Gi say that the preparatory team for the girl group project is working hard every day, and the pressure is also very high... How is senior?"

Hearing his question, Pei Zhuxuan seemed to be choked by something, and there was a few seconds of obvious silence on the phone, as if he was hesitating for something.

"Inner... a little..." After a few seconds, she spoke slowly, and the relaxed tone just now had a touch of sourness unknowingly.

"En." Chi Jingyuan responded. .

"..." After a few seconds of silence, she seemed to feel Chi Jingyuan's concern, and seemed to really want to talk to someone, she pursed her lips and finally sighed, and began to ramble up:

"Last month's end-of-the-month assessment, my ranking has regressed. I have been practicing very hard. I have to stay in the practice room for fifteen or six hours every day..."

"I'm the biggest among all the trainees in the preparatory group, and some of them are actually from 1999... I don't know how the company arranges this age difference. Can they really debut together when they are so old? Sometimes When practicing with them, I feel quite awkward..."

"Every day is tiring and stressful. Sometimes I wonder if it would be better to just relax..."

"..."

As soon as Pei Zhuxuan opened her mouth, she couldn't hold back anymore. She obviously had a very hard and depressing time, and she had been pent up in her heart for a long time, and she kept holding her breath in her chest.

At this time, facing Chi Jingyuan's active inquiry, he finally had a way to vent, and he chattered a lot.

She obviously didn't organize her language, and the expression of meaning and word order were a bit messy, and she seemed to say whatever came to her mind.

From her tone and a little restless mood, I can feel the pressure is really great.

After all, this time is almost her last chance in SM company. If she can't be selected for this girl group project, she can either go to another path, go back to school or become a backup dancer, manager or something, or leave SM to go. Try another company.

Chi Jingyuan didn't intervene too much, and responded from time to time to indicate that he was listening carefully, acting as a qualified observer.

After talking for a while, Pei Zhuxuan's mood seemed to gradually stabilize, and suddenly he felt a lot more relaxed after venting the boredom in his heart.

At the same time, she realized that she had thrown so much rubbish at the other party just now, and suddenly felt a little shy, and hesitated: "I... Did I talk a little too much?"

"There are indeed quite a lot. I didn't expect that seniors can really pretend to be things in their hearts."

Chi Jingyuan chuckled and glanced at a flashy sports car speeding by on the road below. Without waiting for the other party to respond, he added in a relaxed tone: "But actually, I can say more next time..."

"Anyway, I happen to be free."

Hearing the smile in the other party's words, Pei Zhuhyun felt at ease, feeling that some emotions were constantly surging in her heart. She held her phone and didn't know how to reply.

She pursed her lips and said softly: "Guilty."

"Okay, senior, let's talk to you next time. I won't tell you. They should have already started. If we don't go back, the food will be eaten up..."

"We XOs don't have the habit of waiting for others to eat. I have suffered losses several times..."

Chi Jingyuan chuckled, closed the window and walked back, talking casually. When he was approaching the door, he gave the other party a final cheer:

"Joohyunxi, fightitng!"

After he turned the doorknob, a soft but firm voice came from the phone:

"Nay, I can do it...and so can you."

hang up.

Opening the door, Chi Jingyuan saw at a glance the members rushing to eat the dishes that had not been served for a long time. Everyone moved so quickly.

"I told you I'd be back soon, just wait for me." Chi Jingyuan looked bitter and couldn't help but complain.

"Your 'immediately' is really fast..."

Wu Shixun puffed out his cheeks and hadn't swallowed the food yet. He looked up at Chi Jingyuan and waved: "Come and eat quickly. Don't waste time. We have something to do later."

"I'll hold you to death." Chi Jingyuan quickly ran back to his seat and grabbed it with chopsticks.

…………

"The ranking of "dope" has started to fall."

In the nanny's car, Do Kyung-soo, who was looking at the music charts on his mobile phone, frowned.

Today is May 10th, two days have passed since the release of the sound source and the first stage broadcast. After two days of fermentation, "dope"'s performance on the sound source list was a bit unsatisfactory, and its ranking began to slowly decline.

"The prelude is a dance song, so it's normal."

Park Chanyeol glanced at him: "You don't expect us to win the championship first?"

"That's not true... I just feel..." Do Kyung-soo shook his head, not knowing what to say.

The sound source performance of a song basically depends on two aspects, explosion and stamina.

The sound source of "dope" has exploded very fiercely, and the best proof is that it topped the real-time charts just after it was released.

But given EXO's current popularity and huge fan base, this is a very normal result and an expected situation.

After all, with their current popularity, even if they post a variation of the nursery rhyme "The Three Little Bears", they will probably be able to get away with it casually.

It is abnormal for EXO to not be able to leave one song alone when releasing a song.

It's just that it's somewhat similar to the previous "Wolf", but the sound source power of the lead song "Dope" began to show its shortcomings. On the third day, it had already fallen to fourth place, and looking at its daily listening and download trends , if there are no accidents, it will continue to fall.

It is impossible to win the weekly top spot on the melon list with this trend.

Judging from its stamina, "dope", which has been released for three days, cannot compare to "some", which has been released for more than two months.

"Some" just dropped from the number one spot on the weekly charts a few days ago. Before that, this song had already topped Melon for eight weeks, which is an astonishing music performance.

Melon has remained at the top of the list for 51 consecutive days.

The genie ranking has been ranked first for 720 consecutive hours. Among all songs in the first half of the year, it is firmly ranked first in the comprehensive ranking that adds up the number of online plays and downloads.

The second place after "some" is the theme song of the Hollywood cartoon "let it go", and the third place is "Friday Meet" released by IU at the end of last year.

In addition to this data, "some" also has an interesting achievement.

It is the song that ranked first...second and third among all songs in "Music Bank" in the first half of this year.

It's all about it.

The sound source of "some" is so excellent that even Chi Jingyuan himself did not expect it, which can be regarded as an unexpected surprise.

But there is nothing Chi Jingyuan can do about the current decline of "dope".

This is also a common feature of kpop dance music. Taking into account the rhythm and explosive power of the stage, it is difficult to ensure the popularity and popularity of the song. At the same time, it occasionally adds some new concepts or tries some unique styles.

Therefore, the music performance of the boy band has always been somewhat unsatisfactory. If it can take care of both, it can be called a divine song.

However, he did not expect the sound source of "dope" to be very good, and the song itself did not win with the sound source.

"Everyone expected that there would be nothing to say about the music source. It was a normal decline... But the YouTube views of our song MV were surprisingly high. It had already exceeded 10 million views in less than three days... jinjia's growth Speed, is this a record?"

Kim Junmyeon was also browsing YouTube on his mobile phone. When he saw the number of clicks on the "dope" MV, he looked up in surprise and asked.

"Is it so fast? I remember that the MV for "Wolf" I watched last month had more than 30 million views, and the most popular "Roar" only had more than 50 million views. This is already the highest number of views among all our MVs. One more.”

Park Chanyeol was very surprised when he heard the words, quickly took out his phone, and said while checking, "And "Roar" has been released for 8 months, and "Dope" has reached 10 million in less than three days?"

I haven't paid much attention to these other data before, and I have been staring at the music list. Hearing this, Chi Jingyuan also pulled out his phone and browsed on YouTube.

Most of Kpop idol MV videos will be uploaded to youtube, that is, YouTube, and the MV on YouTube, or the number of clicks on the stage video, is not as important and critical as the two indicators of sales and music source, but it is also a measure of an idol combination A relatively intuitive data of pan popularity.

At present, among all the idol groups in the peninsula, the single MV has the highest number of clicks on YouTube, which is the level of over 100 million. There are very few idols of this level, basically only Girls' Generation's "gee" and bigbang's "Pokemon".

And let's not talk about those who are confused, most of the MV views of other popular idols are still at the level of tens of millions.

EXO currently has the most hits on Roar, reaching 56 million as of yesterday, followed by "wolf" with 35 million.

Their YouTube stats are not ambiguous, but they can’t be said to be very good, at least compared to EXO’s popularity and other stats, it can be said that they have some shortcomings, and they are still a bit behind the top groups.

Among idols, the MV that ever created the fastest 10 million hits was Girls' Generation's "The Boys" in 2011, which took 110 hours.

This record has been maintained for two years. Two years later, Girls' Generation broke their own record with "i got a boy" reaching 10 million hits in 55 hours.

This speed has not been surpassed by idols so far, but Chi Jingyuan feels that judging from the current situation, the speed of "dope" does not seem to be much weaker than the former, but we still need to count the time in detail.

"It really broke the record for the fastest 10 million hits."

At this time, Lee Seung-hwan, who was sitting in the front co-pilot, heard the discussion and joined in: "The company counted it in the morning, and it took 51 hours for the MV of "dope" to reach 10 million hits on YouTube, breaking broke Girls’ Generation’s record of 55 hours.”

"Currently, the number of views of this song's MV is still growing very fast, which proves that we shot the MV of "dope" really well."

"Jinjia?"

Although it is not a very important record, it still made the members feel much better.

"Inside……"

Li Chenghuan nodded, and at the same time added with some doubts:

"Furthermore, according to the data on Youtube and the company's statistics, a considerable part of the hits on the MV of the song "dope" on Youtube were not contributed by the mainland of the peninsula, nor by Xiaguo Southeast Asia, which we often engage in. Many of the audiences in the Asian region are from overseas, and the audiences in Europe and the United States accounted for at least one-third of the ten million hits."

"Brother, isn't our EXO famous in Europe and the United States? Haha, why don't we consider holding two rounds in LA?" Park Chanyeol laughed cheerfully after hearing this, and made a joke.

"Hahaha..." The members all laughed, and Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but shook his head.

None of them took it seriously, nor did they take the message too seriously.

The number of views on YouTube is not important, but it’s actually okay. It is a place to show yourself to fans and audiences in many other countries overseas, reflecting the popularity and popularity of an idol. Since 2013, it has been There are song playing programs that use YouTube data as a reference indicator for ratings.

But let’s talk about the importance. In fact, few idols, including economic companies, really value this data too much. After all, unlike sales and music sources, it can directly bring a lot of income, and it can intuitively reflect a combination. Good grades and bad grades.

However, it is obvious that the weight of YouTube data has become higher and higher in recent years, especially with the popularity of smartphones, it will definitely be more important at that time.

"Ha...it's possible." Li Chenghuan looked back with a smile: "Maybe because of the popularity of "dope" overseas, the company will send you to the United States next year."

"And then go on a road show in a caravan?"

"Hahaha……"

Jin Zhongren answered a sentence that caused everyone to laugh, and everyone could hear who he was connoting.

So far, among all the kpop idols, there is really no success in breaking into the United States, so they just joked about it and didn't care.

"That's right bro."

After laughing for a while, Jin Junmian looked at Lee Seung-hwan.

"What's wrong?"

"The speed of "dope" breaking tens of millions of clicks is considered a record among idols, so where does it rank among all the artists on the peninsula? Is it still the first?" He asked curiously.

"hehe……"

Lee Seung-hwan smiled helplessly, and looked at Jin Junmian with weird eyes: "I won't mention the hits of "Gangnam Style", suho, go and see for yourself."

"Psy's "gentleman" hits over 10 million in 16 hours, and over 100 million in 80 hours."

He sighed and sighed:

"The reason why the data competition is limited to idols is because this brother is too outrageous."
