igher, attracting a lot of attention. This year, it can be said to be one of the most important award ceremonies at the end of the year in the peninsula music industry.Although its weight isn't the hi...The flying chair startled several staff members in the room, especially the assistant who had almost been hit, nervously taking a few steps back. However, seeing that it was Choi Seong-hyeon who kicked it out and noticing his somewhat hysterical expression, he could only grit his teeth and say nothing, lowering his head without speaking.
"Damn it..."
After kicking the stool away, Choi Seunghyun's anger still hadn't subsided. He wanted to kick something else, but the pain in his foot brought him back to reality. Even in his rage, he managed to control his urge to destroy and only angrily slammed his fist against the wall, letting out a hateful roar.
"Didn't you all say it was already arranged What about the scores you bought"
After cursing a couple of times and still feeling furious, he shouted at the several company assistants inside the break room.
Actually, the momentum and performance of the two groups recently have been very obvious. And in a singing competition like < !c > , groups with more fans naturally have a greater advantage. Choi Seunghyun and they themselves know that their BIGBANG probably can't beat EXO
Before today's participation in "", the company had already contacted them, saying that they had established contact and would purchase some scores through channels to ensure the first place today, so they could rest assured. They also said that they had prepared a series of publicity materials and press releases, which would be released together after the results of today's competition were announced.
He knew the news and stood confidently on the award stage, but the final result left him seething with rage.
He had already thought up what he was going to say, heaven knows how angry he was.
If he hadn't lost control of his expression last month, and his emoji had been misused by Alice and netizens in various ways, causing him to be ridiculed and furious enough to smash a lot of things, this time he would have controlled his expression strongly after learning from the past. Just now on stage, he almost couldn't help but lose control again.
None of the members around Quan Zhi Long, either, were trying to persuade him as they had before. They each sat there, some with their legs crossed watching the commotion, some playing with their nails, and others keeping silent with their heads bowed.
But the same is that they are actually quite angry.
Before I didn't know, or hadn't had any psychological expectations, it was fine. But having expectations, this is what it looks like. Everyone feels as if their face has been trampled on the ground.
When did Big Bang ever receive this kind of attention in the music industry
"Besides, Xiba's schedule didn't originally include this performance, it was a last-minute addition. He's about to have a concert..."
Thinking about this, Choi Sung-hyun found it even more unbearable: “If we could guarantee getting at least one spot, then this one spot wouldn't be guaranteed either. What's the point of all those new additions to the music show appearances later on”
Artists from BigBang and YG Entertainment have always embraced a mysterious and hunger marketing approach. Prior comebacks typically involved minimal promotion, with few appearances on music shows. However, due to their immense popularity and the quality of their songs, they've never lacked in recognition.
I never thought that something I once held so dearly, now discarded like trash, would suddenly become impossible to obtain.
Remembering how he looked on stage today, and then thinking about how he still has to continue participating in singing battles and being humiliated, he was really going insane.
Even the more easygoing Kwon Ji-long and Dong Yong-bae have had enough of this.
Although they don't have much real anger towards EXO, people need face. As seniors and former idols, they care even more about face.
"The company did indeed talk to us and bought some broadcast points and voting points. The latter were not made public, but both of these scores were full marks…"
The manager, who had been silent up to this point, saw the situation and the atmosphere. He was also annoyed by Choi Seunghyun’s overstepping. Looking at the other Big Bang members, although they didn't speak, their attitude was very clear. Even though he was in a bad mood himself, he still stood up to explain things for the company.
"So you're saying we bought our grades and still haven't beaten them" Choi Seong-hyun's expression was like that of a wild boar, frantic yet bewildered.
If it's a communication error and they didn't buy it, losing to EXO is fine, at least you can comfort yourself.
Did you really buy it
And to lose this badly...
"Not only those two things, even social media scores were bought, otherwise we wouldn't even reach 1400 points, the gap would be even bigger. You know that during this time all of EXO members' SNS fans have been increasing rapidly, the highest yuan's s followers have already reached almost sixteen million, and the daily clicks and views are incredibly high..."
The agent obviously didn't expect this either, frowning somewhat helplessly: "The sound source data is there, it's not easy to fake, the sales are too far off, it's also... The company has actually done a lot of preparation. Besides the two more public scores, we have communicated with everyone, who could have known that EXO could get full marks today Today is still the first issue after the score revision of 《!》... I guess S must have bought it."
"Having said so much, it still didn't result in anything. Having done so much preparation for what If it's useless, why add so many more singing programs"
"This is the company's decision, you should talk to the president about it..."
"Achoo..."
"Bang!"
"Rip...":
The soundproofing in the backstage room isn't very good.
The heated arguments, punctuated by frequent insults and the occasional crash of furniture, caused any passing artists or staff to instinctively avoid Big Bang's dressing room or quickly walk past.
But the tightly closed door could not stop curious eyes from wandering, nor ears from stretching out uncontrollably.
It's estimated that many people will have more to talk about during their leisure time in the next few days.
……
"Ahhhh today actually got a full score, the Oppa's are too strong!"
Today marks the first time since EXO and BIGBANG's comeback that both groups are officially competing for first place on a music show chart. Although one of the groups was absent, their presence still attracted massive attention from fans and the general public alike. After the program ended, online discussions surged instantly.
"Because I knew before that XO had an overseas trip these two days and couldn't participate in the singing competition, I was quite worried that today's spot would be taken by BIGBANG. Unexpectedly, the result turned out to be like this."
"No song promotions, no stage performances, all categories scored perfect points, crushing BigBang to take first place. After this comeback, EXO's dominance needs no further explanation from me."
"Let me give you some context. Since the premiere of 《!》, there have only been two times that a score reached a perfect 100. Today happens to be the day after the scoring rules for 《!c》 were revised, and this is the first perfect score since the revision, and also the only one with a score of 11000."
“Aw, because of last month's memes, I specifically stared at him during the awards ceremony this time. He actually controlled his expressions, which is really disappointing. But I guess he must be feeling very uncomfortable, it’s so pitiful kkkk... By the way, Bigbang's score today was also quite high. In other episodes, they would easily get a high score. But today, facing full-score EXO, it’s a bit of a pity... But how can I laugh so happily"
Besides those few who stole the team's points, I felt like the c who played baba wasn't very happy. He looked like he had been kicked and slapped... By the way, wasn't there a fan claiming that their own team could get first place today Haven't seen anyone get a perfect score without being on stage, right Speak up!
"Speak!"
"Speak!"
"said ndg west eight……%¥……”
Facing Alice's frantic mockery, the vast majority of .
people remained silent because their main supporter was losing badly. They pretended not to see anything and lay flat, accepting the mockery.
But there are still some bigbang fans with a hot temper who can't stand this humiliation and bravely fought back against the wind.
Although the wording used in these comments is rather harsh, ultimately the competition between fans still relies on an idol's popularity and achievements as a benchmark.
Words spoken out of anger and without reason will only make you look like a fool in the eyes of many.
These counterattacks, though seemingly valiant, evoke a strange sense of melancholy in many observers. Witnessing their frantic, desperate pronouncements leaves one with an undercurrent of sadness.
This might be their last stand, a desperate fight for the Big Bang.
……
"Today's
《!c》 remake"
When the live broadcast was halfway through, a few members of EXO had just finished their afternoon concert rehearsal. They went to a restaurant for dinner, including Ji-hyeon, and several of them even went to watch the last award ceremony together. Afterwards, they enthusiastically looked at the online comments.
When someone mentioned that the show's score was revised today, I curiously tilted my head and asked a question.
He didn't pay much attention to this matter.
Several other people also seemed puzzled, clearly having heard it for the first time just like him.
"Well, both the sales score and the social media score have increased by 5%, bringing the total score from 10,000 to 11,000. It just so happens that today is the first day after the revamp."
In the end, it was still Do Kyung Soo who came out to explain. It seemed like he had already done some research beforehand.
Nodding to show he understood, Chi Jingyuan, who was almost finished with his meal, continued scrolling through news and comments on his phone.
To be honest, he actually thought like many fans that they might not be able to compete with BigBang if they didn't perform today. However, the final result of winning with a perfect score really surprised him. His first reaction wasn't "We did so well"
...instead 'how much did the company buy'.
The obvious advantages of sound source and sales, as well as social media, could be understandable for a full score. However, it's truly surprising that other items also received full scores.
But no matter what, getting the first full score for the remake is still a happy thing, and fans can be excited about it.
...just looking and looking...
“Since its debut, has undergone numerous revisions but never achieved a perfect score. The first ever perfect score was awarded in 2013 to Girls' Generation for their song 《igotaboy》, achieving a record-breaking 10,000 points……”
When he saw a fan explaining this on the forum, and silently muttered it out loud, for some reason, the little thrill in Ji Jingyuan's heart dissipated all at once.
He originally thought that getting a perfect score on a singing program was a very impressive achievement, after all, very few people could achieve it. It requires an artist to have high popularity and the song's quality and performance to be excellent in order to get the top score.
The quantity should still be quite high.
After seeing this science popularization, he immediately didn't think so anymore.
No, it's the song "i got a boy" that started the trend of ** artists combining with girl groups, making this eerie musical style popular and causing Girls' Generation's music source reputation to plummet drastically. It could even get a perfect score
Besides the good looks of the outfit, what else is there about the song...
Well, after all, it's Taeyeon... After all, it's a group led by senior Yuri.
Just by looking at it, it feels like this song scoring system's credibility has been significantly lowered because some bad combination was pulled down.
The moment of excitement just now vanished, and Chi Jingyuan swiped his phone with boredom. He glanced at the members who were still discussing, shook his head listlessly, and didn't mention the "full score" thing anymore.
……
After a busy day, Exo went for a stroll around Taipei City in the evening before returning to their hotel. Park Chanyeol took a shower and then lay on his bed, texting with friends on his phone while occasionally glancing at the variety show playing on the TV. He also chatted with Oh Sehun who was on the other bed.
"How come you're having a tour in Taipei again Why not in Tainan The scenery there is so beautiful."
He was texting with Zhou Tzuyu at the moment, because this was her hometown. Every time they talked about it, she got very excited. So whenever he came to attend Tzuyu's events, he would usually chat with her for a bit and take some pictures of the scenery and selfies to send to her. He had just taken a few photos of food and street scenes and sent them to her, making the girl envious.
But seeing the slightly complaining text messages she sent, Ji Jingyuan felt speechless and quickly typed on his screen: "Ziyu xi, what misconception do you have that these two cities are of a different level"
"...and I've only heard of Taipei Arena, I haven't heard of Tainan Arena."
"Why are you saying that We're doing great, aren't we"
Apparently, Ji Jingyuan's disregard for his hometown made Zhou Tzuyu somewhat annoyed. Her words were filled with obvious dissatisfaction, and she then proceeded to give a specific explanation:
"And we have a small stadium there too, you know I started building it when I came to Seoul, and I guess it'll be finished soon!"
"Wow, that's impressive. I wonder if it will be finished by the time you debut."
Lowering his phone, Ji Jingyuan smiled and glanced at the TV, but suddenly felt someone watching him. He turned his head and sure enough, Wu Shixun was staring at him with an odd look in his eyes.
He curiously asked, "Smiling so happily, are you texting with someone Irene"
"No." Chi Jingyuan shook his head, denying it with a smile that didn't fade.
"I knew it all along." He gave me a look that said, 'I saw through you ages ago,' and scoffed disdainfully.
Pool Jingyuan, seeing this, was just about to say something in retaliation when his phone suddenly vibrated. He looked down and saw an incoming call.
It's just a number, but it's an unknown number with no record. Looking at the beginning, it seems to be from the peninsula area.
His phone number was only known to his close friends, company staff and family. After hesitating for a moment, Ji Jingyuan still answered the call.
"When you're young, don't be afraid to learn..."
He didn't really care, just casually said hello after which he suddenly heard a very heavy snorting sound, followed by a piercing scream that made him jump.
"Ahhhh, oppa! It's that voice! I recognized it, it's really yuan oppa!"
"Ahhhh..."
After a piercing scream that ruptured the eardrums came an eruption of gasps. The other party recognized him instantly after hearing just one sentence, and their ecstatic excitement was expressed in a somewhat jumbled string of words.
"..."
Startled, Ji Jingyuan hastily hung up the phone and sat bolt upright in bed, leaning against the headboard. After two seconds of stunned silence, he rubbed his ears and realized what had just happened.
This tone of voice, and hearing the beginning, I recognized his singing voice. Could it be a fan of some xo who called
Is this... his phone number leaked
He had some guesses in his mind, and the crazily ringing and vibrating phone that immediately followed proved him right.
Just now the number that Ji Jingyuan had hung up on called back, he directly hung up again here.
Next, another call came in, but this time it was from a different number.
Still hung up.
Another strange call came in.the members of EXO all had expressions of "I knew it," looking at Ji-seong, their mouths moved but they didn't make a sound.The members who have good memories all know that according to the last scrip...
