After reporting the group name, it returned to the normal "Roar" stage session.
When EXO performs, the director is very interesting. He often switches the camera to the artist's seat, hoping to let the audience see the reactions of the idols, especially the two sisters of Girls' Generation and Apink who are in the same company.
The two sisters from SNSD behaved relatively calmly, mainly thinking that their juniors would support them, and they would actively wave to each other every time the camera passed by.
Apink is not as bland as its predecessors. There was no reaction when the camera turned several times, and the expression management was not in place. Looking at the big screen and stage was a bit stunned.
"I Eu-Reu-Reong Eu-Reu-Reong Eu-Reu-Reong you"
"I Eu-Reu-Reong Eu-Reu-Reong Eu-Reu-Reong you"
"There will be a crisis if we don't leave."
Under the chorus of the fans, all the members put on the ending pose, and the other members quickly left the stage. The lights dimmed, leaving only the dim auxiliary lights shining in the center of the stage. Chi Jingyuan and Luhan started a two-person dance along with the accompaniment.
The setting here is that Chi Jingyuan and Luhan have a fight scene, but in the plot version of the MV, it is Kai and Luhan who are in conflict over the heroine. At this time, after Kai is replaced by Chi Jingyuan, the two fight. Some things were not suitable. After discussion, the stage planning was changed to a dance of two people.
Chi Jingyuan's dancing level has really improved a lot in more than a year. When he first joined the group, his dancing ability was in the middle and lower reaches of EXO. Luhan was no less impressive when they stood dancing together.
In particular, his style and expressiveness are very good and have unique characteristics of his own.
After a brief dance together, the two stood on both sides of the stage and bowed their heads slightly. The prelude of "Wolf" sounded, and the silhouette of the Tree of Life appeared on the screen behind, causing a burst of cheers.
Although this song is far less popular than the roar, this classic look has now become a symbol of EXO, and it makes fans very happy every time it is posed.
The lights gradually dimmed and the stage became pitch black. During the prelude, the other ten members arranged their poses and stood on the main stage's lifting platform. It slowly rose up and appeared in front of all the audience along with the light red misty lights. The stage of "Wolf" officially begins.
Chi Jingyuan and Luhan took advantage of the lights dimming and the audience focused most of their attention on the tree of life displayed by the members. They crouched quietly and quickly ran past the side of the stage. Chi Jingyuan As soon as Yuan ran up, it was his turn, and he jumped directly to the center of the stage to seamlessly connect.
There is no new collective choreography on the stage of "Wolf", but a special performance is added in the middle.
The twelve members were divided into three groups, with four people in each team arranged in a small tree shape, standing in a triangle. A projection of blood was cast below the stage at the same time. The surging blood flowed through the pulse, just like several trees exchanging with each other. with blood.
In addition to echoing the shape and concept of the tree of life in "Wolf", this performance also has a vague feeling of 'we are one', which is EXO's slogan 'we are one'.
What's interesting is that every time EXO sings the wolf howling part of 'awuuu', the camera will focus on the artist booth, and many idols like Jung Eunji will imitate the wolf howl and sing along.
"Yes wolf I am a wolf aawuuuu."
"Sang Lang hey."
"I am a wolf and you are a beauty."
With the familiar howl of a wolf, the music of "Wolf" gradually came to an end. After the ending movement, amidst deafening cheers and screams, EXO's entire performance was announced to be over.
The excitement of the audience could not calm down for a long time. Even after EXO came off the stage, they kept shouting. The atmosphere in the entire expo was completely agitated. It was obvious that the performance just now made them very fond and emotional, reaching a high point.
After EXO left the stage, the second 'Artist of the Year' award was presented. The award presenters were Hong Kong's Guo Tianwang and Han Caiying, but they didn't stand in harmony together.
The suspense was soon revealed, the final artist of the year went to solo GD.
After hearing his name, GD stood up and saluted to the artist's seat and the audience to thank him. Then he walked briskly to the podium with his unique yellow sashimi hairstyle, received the trophy, and spoke of his speech.
He broke away from the Big Bang group, and his solo can still win major awards. GD's popularity and style are indeed unique.
After receiving the award, it was time for a break and commercial breaks. After waiting for about ten minutes, EXO returned to the artist booth at the beginning of the second part of the award ceremony.
This arrangement seems to foreshadow the protagonist of their most award-winning final film.
They didn't change their clothes after coming off the stage. At this time, the members were no longer as calm and carefree as before, and everyone became a lot more nervous.
From the beginning of the awards ceremony until now, they have been spectators so far.
Although the stage performance that had been prepared for a long time was perfect, the response from the audience was extremely enthusiastic, and the manager said that after their performance, there was a discussion on the Peninsula Internet, and countless people were interested in their performance this time. The stage felt very amazing and satisfying.
But their main purpose in participating in MAMA is to win the final grand prize, and now only the last of the three grand prizes is left.
Although the organizers had hinted in advance, otherwise they would not have made so many preparations, but the reputation of the MAMA organizers has always been average, so it is not surprising that something will happen. Who knows whether there will be one in the end? What about giving them a big upset and grabbing all the eyeballs and headlines?
When things came to a close, every member, including Chi Jingyuan, became a lot more nervous and anxious.
It can be said that Ji Kyung-won is not in the mood to watch the entire lower stage performance, whether it is the rap of hip-hop senior Jae-ho, or the stage of Rain who is already famous and dating Kim Tae-hee, or everyone who is doing the solo of Big Bang this year, TOP, Taeyang and Seungri , GD's solo stage, and even the joint performance made Chi Jingyuan uninterested.
Only when the camera is turned towards him, and when Big Bang runs to the artist booth to interact during a performance, will he react with a smile and applause showing interest in the business. After the camera turns away, he returns to his original expression.
The performance that best reflected their mood was Chi Jingyuan, Wu Shixun and other fishing experts. At this time, they no longer wanted to be lazy. They kept looking at the stage, seeming to be thinking about many things.
Finally, with the anxious waiting of all EXO members and fans, the entire mama awards ceremony has reached the final stage, with the awarding of the third grand award 'Album of the Year'.
The presenter of the award was Peninsula actor Gao Xiu. Wearing a fitted black suit and tie, he walked to the microphone in the middle of the stage and began his chattering performance.
First, he thanked the audience and praised the scenery and people of Hong Kong Island. Then he recalled the preparation process today, how to choose clothes and how to style. At the same time, he praised the participating artists for their hard work in preparing the stage and rehearsing, and then looked forward to the future. Mama gets better every time.
I don’t know whether it was because the broadcast was not long enough, so the organizer specifically reminded him to delay, or whether Gao Xiu himself is an extremely verbose person. He stood on it and talked endlessly, which made Chi Jingyuan and the members Increasingly impatient.
Gao Xiu talked for a long time, and when the audience booed faintly, he finally entered the awards ceremony, and under his guidance, the candidate VCR began to play.
The competition for 'Album of the Year' in 2013 is really fierce. The first one to appear on the VCR is EXO, followed by GD, Girls' Generation, SHINee, and Jo Yong Pil.
After the VCR broadcast, the audience thought he was going to announce the winner. Everyone started shouting loudly. Many people read the names of the idols they supported, among which EXO's voice was the loudest.
It's just that Gao Xiu was really interesting. He spoke very slowly, and even though his sentences were cadenced, he kept whetting his appetite and wasted time by talking nonsense, but he didn't look at the envelope with the name of the award recipient on it.
However, his behavior really enhanced the atmosphere of the entire venue, and the emotions of all the audience were aroused by him. The cries of eardrum pain resounded throughout the venue one after another, and did not stop for a second.
Including Zhou Ziyu, Kong Xue, many idols, and all the fans who were watching the live broadcast felt like they were being hung up, and their hearts were full of eagerness.
The same goes for EXO, who were already very nervous. Being treated like this by Gao Xiu made everyone's hearts aroused. At this moment when the results were finally announced, no one could remain calm.
Tao lowered his head, clasped his hands together and placed them on his chin, praying silently. Jin Junmian's iconic business smile also became very stiff. Luhan's forehead was already sweating, and sweat continued along both sides of his cheeks. trickle down.
At this time, the camera suddenly focused on Chi Jingyuan from below, and a close-up of him appeared on the big screen at the right time.
I saw Chi Jingyuan sitting sideways on the stool, his arms resting on the armrests of the chair, his right hand clenched into a fist, covering his mouth and chin. His soft-lined eyes were bright and serious at this time. Looking towards the stage, there was a hint of sweat in her silver-gray bangs.
Because the camera was shot from bottom to top, Chi Jingyuan’s profile and mandibular angle were perfectly displayed at the same time.
In this shot, anyone can see that his mood at this time is tense and urgent, mixed with uneasiness and anxiety.
Fans screamed at the right time, but Chi Jingyuan's movements and demeanor did not change. He remained the same and quietly waited for the result to be announced.
Finally, either because he felt that he was taking too long, or because the director told him through the headset that he had delayed long enough, Gao Xiu opened the envelope.
"2013, MAMA Annual Awards Ceremony, Album of the Year Award'..."
"..."
He opened the envelope and pursed his lips when he saw the name on it. His smile was a little twisted. After a pause, he shouted a name loudly:
"EXO!"
Deafening cheers suddenly broke out, and all the audience erupted at unimaginable decibels at the same time.
The camera immediately focused on EXO's artist seat. All the members looked relieved, stood up, clapped excitedly, saluted, and celebrated.
And a camera was once again focused on Chi Jingyuan's position.
"call……"
In the picture, he exhaled softly after hearing EXO's name, stretched out his clenched right hand and wiped it on his chin, and smiled.
As if aware that a camera was filming him, Chi Jingyuan stood up and turned sideways to look at the camera.
I saw him smiling and raising his right hand, extending his index finger and thumb to make a pistol shape, pursed his lips and raised the corners of his mouth, and fired lightly at the camera from a very close distance:
"Snapped."
