cordingly.I waited for so long, and the moment to see EXO's stage performance was finally coming. Finally, it was time for the 'Best OST' award!Both the male and female award presenters were actors f....

"Are you saying that the suggestion is for EXO's comeback next year to not use the original and re-release double album format used in their regular albums"

With one hand holding the newly printed stack of business proposals, Li Xiuman occasionally looked up from her seat and met the gaze of Ji Jingyuan across from her. She adjusted her glasses and asked with great interest:

After finishing the winter single project, after several nights of overtime, Ji-yeong finally completed the task Li Xiu-man had given him. He had compiled all his suggestions and plans for EXO's regular second album comeback next year, including specific ways to return and song selection in several aspects.

Also thanks to the fact that he started preparing several months ago, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to finish this in such a short time by himself.

However, Chi Jingyuan didn't write much about many details, including promotion, concept, specific style and implementation. In fact, he wasn't very knowledgeable about some details either; he just expressed his general ideas.

However, Lee Suman's requirements were just these, and the company wouldn't let him participate too much in those various processes and details.

"Yes."

Ji Jingyuan took two sips of hot coffee and felt his body warm up a lot. Li Xiuman was really good at knowing that in such a cold winter, it should be hot drinks. Of course, it might also be because he was older and his body couldn't bear it. If he changed to Kim Taeyeon or other young people, they would probably just serve two iced Americanos.

I don't know how she can stand to drink that.

He noticed that Lee Soo Man was looking at the data and nodded, starting to explain seriously: "The way of comeback with both original and re-released albums increases the overall sales because the two versions accumulate. It looks good on paper and increases the frequency and exposure of comebacks. In a sense, it's like two comebacks, but the cost is much lower. This is one of the common ways for groups under the company to make a comeback."

"However, because re-issued albums basically only change the main songs and one or two included tracks, overall they are not much different from the original albums previously released. This also leads to re-issued albums having a significantly lower sales volume compared to the originals, unless the re-issued main song is a megahit, otherwise this trend is very difficult to change."

To be honest, in Chi Jingyuan's view, the so-called "Repaethg", this song was reportedly originally intended for Sistar. Who knows what unknown circumstances or conflicts happened in between, and ultimately it was given to Girls' Day, allowing this girl group that had been mediocre for an unknown number of years to become incredibly popular this year.

But each company's song resources are limited. You can tell that they're great, with a few songs that have the potential to be huge hits. Even if some idols might not be able to tell, most experienced agencies can basically predict which ones will do well. There are very few chances of stumbling upon hidden gems.

Songs of this quality are already scarce, and some are specifically prepared by the company for a particular group. Therefore, song selection is the most important issue for anyone during each comeback.

And EXO's plan this time includes four title tracks in total, each requiring a level of excellence that is immediately catchy and has the potential to become a hit. This requirement is not low.

But fortunately, ** Entertainment and Ji-won could provide some help, so for XO the most difficult issue of choosing a song wasn't too hard.

Taking a glance at the business proposal in her hand, Lee Xiu-man looked at Ji Kyeong-won with a pleased smile. "I think it's very good. I'll immediately give it to the planning department to convene a meeting and also focus on your suggestions... You might have to come to the company for overtime these days, Kyeong-won."

Chi Jingyuan also narrowed his eyes and nodded with a smile:

"I understand, but Teacher Lee Hwa-man... is there overtime pay"

"Hahaha…" Lee Xiu-man pointed at him with two taps, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Of course, you can have some coffee from my office...

………………

"Are you here to give me a trophy, or are you here to give me something else"

As soon as he stepped into the apartment, he saw Suzy in a red low-cut nightgown, exactly the same as the photo she had sent him yesterday. Pool Jingyuan glanced

She glanced at him, hung the bag she was carrying on her back to the side while changing shoes, and with a smirk, casually asked a question.

It's already past midnight. After finishing work at the film set, Chi Jingyuan went back to the company first to record for "Let Things Flow Naturally". He only arrived at his apartment after he finished his shift.

I mean, he had already expressed his feelings through the photos before. Earlier, when he just returned to the peninsula from Neon, Suzy called him, but for the past two days, Ji-young has been very busy and tired, and only now did he have time to rush over.

But for many artists, this time is just when they are most energetic.

What do you think

The indoor heater was blasting, and Bae Suzy wasn't cold at all. She didn't even bother turning off the TV she had just been watching. Wearing slippers, she got up from the sofa and walked over with her two white, long legs. "Whatever you want me to get you, I'll get it," she said.

The idle talk, about the championship trophy belonging to Park Ji-seong's big win this is something that was already transferred by JYP to ** on the day it was awarded in MMA. Both of them are very clear about this.

But when she called in the afternoon, Suzy used the excuse of giving him the trophy as a reason.

Turning around to catch Park Seo-joon who jumped over, the warmth surrounding them made him feel a little hot even though he was still wearing his coat. There was no need for Kim Kyung-won to say anything; the atmosphere and temperature spoke volumes. He simply embraced her and walked into the bedroom…

This wine-colored nightgown is really pretty alluring.

After taking a shower, Chi Jingyuan lazily sat on the sofa in the living room, watching TV. He found the late-night shows quite interesting.

"Do you have to go to the set early tomorrow morning again You really shouldn't push yourself so hard." Bae Suzy, wearing a nightgown with no buttons fastened, opened a bottle of red wine that had been left on the table earlier and poured herself a glass. She took a sip, tasted it, then sat down beside him, holding the glass up to his lips.

"Were you always this late on set before" He didn't reach out, Ji Jingyuan just took a sip of red wine.

"

Well, that's not necessarily true.

"

Seeing that Ji Changwook didn't seem to enjoy drinking very much, Bae Suzy glanced at him and then withdrew her cup, crossing her legs and sitting beside him, happily sipping her drink. The two of them chatted casually.

"How come another EXO member left What's going on"

"Working on the peninsula is tiring and the company is biased. The pay isn't great either. After going back, it's relaxed and comfortable. Attending events, taking flights, with dozens of security personnel clearing the way, you earn ten or even dozens of times more than here. Wouldn't you do it"

He glanced at Pei Xiuzhi's leg that was extended towards him, his gaze lingering for a second on her toes painted with red nail polish. He shot her a glance and said in a bad temper.

The nail polish is pretty, but honestly, because I often wear high heels, my feet aren't very attractive.

And most female idols' feet are similar, they will be somewhat deformed, especially those who are shorter and often wear high heels.

"Can we make dozens of times the profit That much But our Chinese members in this group haven't left yet, either," she heard with some confusion.

He turned his head and met her gaze, then shifted his eyes to the television. "Because they aren't EXO."

Delivered in a plain and natural tone, the words were somehow striking. Bae Suzy couldn't help but nudge her foot against Ji Kyung-won's calf.

“‘The Untamed’ has really become a hit now, you have quite an eye for scripts…” Seeing that Park Ji-hyeon was focused on the TV and didn't look at her, she didn't mind. She took a sip of red wine and asked, “With your group looking like this now, have you ever considered just becoming actors directly”

On November 14th and 15th, episodes nine and ten of "The Untamed" aired. The previously delightful upward trend returned in these two episodes, and after the broadcast, the viewership officially broke through the 6% mark. By episode ten, it had even reached 6.5%.

More eye-catching than the viewership ratings is the positive reception and discussion surrounding .

As a cable television station, its viewership is naturally limited. However, the intense online discussions about this show are far beyond what the ratings can reflect. On any film and television forum, you can see the passionate discussions about < /p>

Discussions and analyses of the plot and character evaluations of "" can be found everywhere, even in places completely unrelated to it, where people casually mention it.

Especially among white-collar workers, some of the classic lines in the drama have become catchphrases they frequently use, becoming part of their lives.

This drama can be said to have officially become the hottest trend in the film and television industry recently.

This also led to some hardcore fans of Chi Jingyuan starting to cause trouble online, calling for him to directly leave the group and become a solo actor.

It's not just some fans who think this way, from Bae Suzy's perspective, she also feels that being an actress has more potential than being an idol, let alone Park Seo-joon is doing so well.

"Absolutely not."

Chi Jingyuan watched the incessantly chattering MC on the TV screen, contorting his body in various amusing ways. He chuckled politely twice and said without turning around, "Actually, I'm not very interested in acting. Acting is just a hobby for me."

"At that time, I chose to enter this industry as an idol because of my interest in singing and dancing. Now, it's also because of my love for the stage, and my gratitude and thanks to all the fans who support me unconditionally, especially the last reason... This is what keeps me motivated and happy even though I'm working so hard every day."

"If these things were to disappear in the future, then I might have to quit the entertainment industry."

"Such a fan-serviceing oppa! You think everyone is like you, a rich young master" Although Park Kyung-seon was speaking truthfully and sincerely, Bae Suzy just pursed her lips: "If I were you, I'd definitely quit the group to become an actor... Even if I didn't quit, I wouldn't participate in any group activities anymore."

"Is that how much you dislike this combination of yours"

"It's not that bad... But after being in the industry for this long, I've seen a lot. Idol groups aren't really meant to last forever. Even those at the top who become super popular only have about seven or eight years before they fade away. And let's face it, we're doing pretty poorly right now, so I guess the entertainment industry needs to be realistic."

And I'm not the only one like this, other people are also looking for a way out.

With absolutely no guilt, Bae Suzy tilted her high-ball glass naturally and glanced at the red wine swirling inside, sneering: "The company already has a new plan for our group. We'll be returning in the first half of next year. If the results are good, that's one thing... but if the results are average, I guess the members won't renew their contracts anymore."

Hearing the words "will not renew," Ji Jingyuan couldn't help but turn his head to look at Pei Suzy, but his mind drifted to a close friend of the same age, Choi Soo-ri.

A few days ago, when a member left the group, Ji-Seong only talked to him on the phone twice. Choi Soo-rye also checked in on him and shared some things about her situation during their chat.

FX disbanded immediately after finishing their promotions, the leader returned to activities in China, Jung Soo-jeong joined a drama production, aer went on a trip to America, na stayed in the dorm and relaxed, while Choi Se-ri also had her own things to do. She starred in two films consecutively these past two months, so she wasn't exactly inactive.

> Last year's second half of the shooting, this August released "Pirates" box office is very good, until November has over 8 million people, for Cui Xueli's first foray into the big screen is a good start, but this film she is not the leading role, just a fifth or sixth role, the real benefit down to her head is not much.

On June 6th of this month, her movie "Fashion King" was released. This is also the first big-screen film where Choi Soo-ri takes the lead role.

It's a shame that this drama coincided with the release of Hollywood blockbuster science fiction film *Interstellar*, becoming one of the casualties of *Interstellar*'s dominant period.

After two weeks of release, the box office just reached 500,000 viewers yesterday. Amongst the many flops released at the same time, this is considered decent, but it still hasn't broken even.

However, continuously starring in films also gave her a lot of encouragement and confidence. Before making the phone call, Choi Se-ri had complained to Park Ki-woong and said she "wouldn't renew her contract."

It's interesting that now Suzy also said something similar.

Remembering his time with Choi Sulli, recalling her unique personality, Ji-sung couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion.

.

If it's "no renewal," then just "no renewal." It's no big deal to leave the group when the contract expires.

It's good to part ways amicably. That's great.
