"Quick, quick!"
Chi Jingyuan ran like a 100-meter racer and ran all the way to the lounge backstage. The assistant who had already prepared was waiting for him with stage clothes. When he saw Chi Jingyuan coming, he immediately joined him. .
Several assistants assisted together. The one who took off his suit took off his suit, and the other took off his shoes. Although they looked anxious, their movements were orderly and they cooperated well.
For this occasion, Chi Jingyuan had practiced with them several times in order to change clothes as quickly as possible.
It took forty or fifty seconds to change clothes. From the black suit to the bright red stage outfit, Chi Jingyuan took a look in the mirror. The two cody girls next to him also quickly helped him tidy up. See if anything goes wrong.
A minute had passed after everything was checked, and Chi Jingyuan immediately started running towards the entrance to the stage. By the time he ran among the members, EXO's VCR was already playing on the screen outside.
Their VCR just introduces the concept of EXO’s second planet and special powers, which seems quite shameful anyway.
"Hahaha……"
Seeing Chi Jingyuan panting and quickly occupying the vacant seat, the surrounding members who were waiting anxiously and looking towards the backstage looked at each other and laughed, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that Chi Jingyuan had caught up.
"Stop laughing, let's start."
After Jin Junmian gave a reminder, everyone closed their mouths. Chi Jingyuan pursed his lips, his chest kept rising and falling because he was running too fast, and a little sweat broke out on his forehead.
The VCR ended, and EXO's stage officially started amidst the cheers of the audience.
The opening of the performance is specially designed. In EXO's concept, each member has a pattern that represents himself. This concept is used in this opening.
When it started, the lights on the entire stage went dark, and only the figures could be vaguely seen. Twelve patterns on the ground glowed brightly, neatly arranged in the shape of a clock, and the members squatted half-crouched next to their patterns, lowering their heads. Hold your head and raise your right hand to form a perfect circle, which looks very ceremonial.
"Careless, Careless"
"Shoot anonymous, anonymous."
At the same time, the prelude of "MAMA" sounded. The prelude, like a religious song, has a strong sense of mystery and echoes EXO's opening, which fully enhances the entire atmosphere.
Immediately, the lights turned on as the members slowly stood up.
Many audience members were startled when they saw Chi Jingyuan. Just a moment ago, he was wearing a black suit on the stage to receive an award and give a speech. The next second, he changed his clothes and went to perform.
Many people looked at Chi Jingyuan and whispered to his friends on the left and right, and the director also gave him a close-up at the right time, causing a burst of noise.
For the stage effect, basically all the teammates wore heavy makeup, and their hairstyles were fluffy and styled, making them exaggerated and flamboyant. Many of them wore dark eye shadow.
Only Chi Jingyuan seemed to be an alternative, looking refreshing and a little out of place.
Fortunately, he didn't have many parts on this stage. Most of the time, he stood on the side and danced together, which had minimal impact on the overall performance.
Of the twelve members, Team K all wore bright red clothes, while Team M wore deep black and were decorated with sequins.
In order to cater to the Hong Kong audience, the first half of the lyrics are all in Chinese version.
After re-choreography, the focus of the stage was on the main dancers of Team M and Team K, namely Kim Jong-in and Oh Se-hun.
The other four members of Team K basically stand on the left and right sides. There are very few C-position shots, and they are considered high-level backup dancers.
Although this song has a small audience in the mainland of the peninsula, many people in Xia Kingdom's Hong Kong Island like it, and the cheers below are also continuous.
After the stage ended for more than 3 minutes, the lights turned black, and the members once again stood in a circle in the middle of the stage. At this time, the effect of a clock appeared on the ground, accompanied by the clear sound of mechanical operation of the clock axis, "Descendants of the Warriors" 》The music started.
The intro was a little weird, which made people feel a little panicked, but it soon entered the verse with a strong rhythm, and the members of EXO started to sway neatly to the melody.
The director is very interesting. When EXO performs, he often gives close-ups of Ji Kyung-won, and then cuts the camera to Jung Endina at the artist's seat. The intention of borrowing the popularity of "Reply" CP is obvious.
Zheng Eunji is also very considerate. Regardless of whether there is a camera or not, he looks very immersed in the scene. He smiles happily and waves his hands vigorously. His body keeps swaying to the melody, and his reaction is very good.
The dance time of "Descendants of the Warriors" was very short. The stage ended quickly in less than thirty seconds, and the lights went dark again.
At this time, the six members of the first cover stage hurriedly ran to the right side of the stage when it turned dark. As soon as they took their seats and posed, a large light shone on them, and the accompaniment of "Spell" It rang.
As soon as this TVXQ classic hit song was played, many people cheered. Even some viewers who had no interest in EXO started to cheer.
"I got you..."
"Under my skin"
Because it’s a cover stage, I started directly from the second chorus, which was High Tide (gaochao).
The dance members of "Spell" have all started dancing since they were in EXO, and they have been practicing together for a long time recently. They are very familiar with the dance. The members' movements on the stage are neat and uniform, and they look very coordinated. Three reds and three The combination of black stage clothes is also very distinctive.
Soon, Chi Jingyuan’s treble part came.
"Yeah, I'll have you."
"You know you got it." After singing this part, Chi Jingyuan did not dance along, but took two steps to the left, waved gently and started singing: "Yeah~~~~~whh!"
"come on come on"
The elongated 'yeah' sounded very pleasant and surging when sung at a high pitch. Chi Jingyuan's voice sounded very bright. Although the pitch was high, it was not harsh at all. On the contrary, the transparent sound gave people a shocking feeling. Faint goosebumps appeared.
Moreover, Chi Jingyuan's expression was not ferocious when he sang the high notes, he just looked a little excited, and he didn't move much. He simply waved his arms, giving him a feeling of being at ease overall.
Not to mention the enthusiastic response from the audience, many people in the artist seats below had expressions of surprise, obviously amazed by Chi Jingyuan's singing skills.
This is not the 'flawless' treble that was created after countless recordings in the studio, using other people's pads and a sound engineer to fix it. This is the scene on the open mic stage at an award ceremony. The treble can be so stable and accurate to this extent. It's really It's very rare, at least not many can be found among idols.
Many artists were really shocked. Their eyes widened and their mouths opened slightly to make a 'wo' mouth shape. This should not be a reaction of their business nature, because the director has now cut the scene to F(x).
