The prelude of "Spring Day" is really beautiful. Even though there are mixed reviews for this song on the Internet, most of the reviews of the prelude are very good. The melody is melodious and attractive. It is very comfortable to listen to and makes people feel like ice and snow. The first melting feeling of spring.

"I miss you, and I miss you even more when I say it."

"Looking at your photos, it's hard to explain the pain of missing each other."

"…………"

"Four years are like snow, how much will it fall..."

"Will spring come only then?"

After the prelude, Byun Baekhyun's voice started the song, and his steady voice attracted the audience, who were still a little distracted, into the atmosphere of the song.

Afterwards, Park Chanyeol spoke up and started a long series of raps. His rapping skills are not particularly strong and can only be said to be above average. However, his superior facial attributes combined with his natural subwoofer voice allowed him to practice specially. It was very comfortable to listen to in live performances. At least it is considered qualified among idols and does not appear to be too weak.

"The snowflakes are falling and are disappearing little by little."

"I miss you."

"I miss you."

A soft and clear voice introduced the song into the first chorus. Chi Jingyuan, who was sitting on a high stool, put one foot on the ground and one leg on the edge of the stool. He gently lowered his head and supported it with his left hand. Holding the headset and hand mic in his right hand, he sang immersedly.

The original live version is very different from the previous dance stages. The half-mic dance stage actually does not need to pay too much attention to the singing part. The focus is on walking, dancing and expression management.

But now this band's live performance is to put 100% of the experience on singing. While paying attention to breathing and ventilation, emotional immersion is also very important.

This kind of performance really depends on the live singing skills and expressiveness of lead singer Val. As a boy band, EXO rarely has this kind of live acoustic version stage, or most idols rarely have this kind of stage, because really It is a test of strength and condition.

But to be honest, Chi Jingyuan, as the lead singer, really likes this form of performance. He can completely integrate into the world of a song and show off his singing skills and emotions, so now he is very involved and enjoying it. .

The audience below also all fell silent.

Although EXO can be said to be a big name in the music industry, not everyone will pay attention to them. At most, they have heard or know their names. There are many people in the music industry who only like lyric singers, solo artists, and even relatively niche people. There are quite a lot of people who are fans of music.

Among the more than 200 spectators present, many of them had never heard of the song "Spring Day". This was the first time they heard it.

When the prelude started just now, some people's eyes clearly lit up and they seemed to like the melody very much. However, when they heard that the auditorium, which was a little restless just now, had already become silent, only Chi Jingyuan's voice and the band's were left. The sounds of music complemented each other and surrounded them,

The accompaniment melody played by the band seemed to be a little sad, and the embellishment of the piano heightened the emotion, but they did not feel sad because the voice from the stage sounded very warm.

And people like this kind of warm thing. The clear voice stirs the heartstrings and goes straight into the soul. There is peace and warmth along the way, as if it is the feeling of seeing spring after spending a cold winter.

"No matter what darkness it is, or what season it is."

"Nothing can stay the same forever."

"The cherry blossoms are about to bloom, and winter is about to go away."

"I miss you……"

The most difficult part of "Spring", including most of the chorus, is covered by the four lead singers, but thanks to this, the live charm of this song can be maximized. EXO's lead singer line is the best in the entire peninsula boy band. The configuration of four major lead singers is considered luxurious for any boy group or girl group, and can even make many companies in the industry jealous and lament the waste.

Use them as the main body to perform this song live, no matter

Both the sense of listening and the emotion have reached a high level, and a lyric song, whether it is "lyric" or "emotional", is well displayed.

Maybe after this episode of "Yoo Hee Yeol's Sketchbook" is broadcast, some fans of other XO members will understand why Ji Kyung Won, Kim Jong Dae, and Byun Baek Hyun have so many parts...

Just for the transposition just now, if you change someone else, the effect may be very different.

During the last chorus, Chi Kyung-won closed his eyes slightly, still covering his headset, and performed his part seriously and emotionally. Do Kyung-soo and Byun Baek-hyun, who were sitting on the other side of the stage, held their microphones and gently Following the harmony, the voices of several people came together beautifully and harmoniously. The tacit cooperation and integration made people feel extremely comfortable. It seemed that as soon as you closed your eyes, you could see the coldness of winter fading away, and the warm spring light coming from The moment when the thread in the clouds caressed my face was touching.

The singing and harmonizing of several vals, coupled with the nodding cheers of other members scattered on the stools, pushed this "Spring Day" acoustic live to the final climax.

"Wait until spring comes."

"Wait until the flowers bloom."

"Wait for me right there."

"Wait for me there."

Including MC Yoo Hee-yeol, the entire audience looked at the XO members who were already sinking in on the stage in silence, nodding gently to the beat from time to time, and Liang Chen's surging music surrounded them, and it seemed that they were really Consciousness is immersed in music,

Looking forward to dawn in the darkness, longing for salvation in the deep sea, waiting for spring in the cold winter.

And this kind of power comes from the gentlest ray of determination in this song.

Spring will definitely come.

"Kangsangmita..."

At the end of the performance, everyone in XO stood up and saluted and thanked the live band and the audience. At this time, the audience seemed to have just woken up from a dream, and the melodious screams and chaotic applause followed, from sparse to sparse. It became a blast, making the entire studio noisy.

The audience, who had no special reaction when they saw EXO appear before, seemed to be moved by the performance just now. Their faces showed surprise and satisfaction that "a boy band can actually live at this level" and couldn't stop applauding with a smile, a kind of A sense of surprise could not help brewing in my heart, and I had a special evaluation and impression different from others about the male idol group in front of me.

EXO left the stage directly after the show. "Yoo Hee Yeol's Sketchbook" allocates the duration of each group according to the number of guests invited each time. XO's part today is over, and it should be Park Jin Young's turn next. .

…………

"Jingyuan, just stretch out your left hand and spread your fingers as if there is a bright ball of light inside. The expression should be as handsome as you like. Be natural. The more handsome the better."

"Just hold it for a few seconds and then push the light ball upwards violently. Make the gesture a little harder."

"Okay PD, I understand."

"Let's try it first...a!"

After listening to the PD's instructions, Chi Jingyuan nodded to show that he understood. Finally, he tidied up the gray long-sleeved suit he had just changed into, which looked like a sauna suit. He nodded and posed for the camera as he entered the work. .

They just finished recording "Yoo Hee Yeol's Sketchbook" yesterday, and at this time, Ji Kyung Won and all EXO members are filming the VCR video of EXO's second tour concert in a studio in Samseongdong.

Preparations for EXO's second world tour began at the end of last year. After the company held a meeting to discuss and decide on the location and cost of the rental venue, several production meetings were held to determine the location and time of the tour concert. Hairstyles, clothing, song selection, as well as stage effects and lighting design, etc. were extremely tedious matters. By the end of last month, all preparations finally came to an end.

Among them, EXO members personally participated in more than a dozen production meetings. They had extensive discussions on song selection, effects, and processes and put forward many of their own opinions.

He was involved in the whole process.

A lot of previews have been made before, which also indicated that EXO will hold a second tour. This morning, April 7, SM officially uploaded a trailer video on the official YouTube channel, announcing the name and meaning of EXO's "Second Tour", as well as the specific time and location, and explaining the ticket purchase channels.

EXO's second solo world tour is named "EXOPLA and EXO "luXion". The title "TheEXO"luXion" is a combination of the two words "EXO" and "Revolution", which means EXO starts anew with this tour. .

At the same time, it was determined that the location of the first Seoul leg of the second tour will be the same as last year’s first tour, which will be held at the Olympic Gymnastics Arena. Four consecutive games will be held in four days on May 13, 14, 16, and 17.

In order to ensure smooth ticket booking, tickets for the Seoul Station concert will be booked in two batches. Tickets for the March 13 and 14 concerts will be pre-sold on the Internet ticket purchase website YES24 at 8 pm on April 10. Tickets for the March 16 and 17 concerts will be pre-sold. Tickets will be issued at 8pm on the 11th the next day.

Because of the great success of the previous tour, and after two consecutive months of comeback, EXO's current popularity and popularity are unparalleled among all idol groups in the entire peninsula music industry. As soon as the news came out, it immediately aroused fans and Many passers-by expressed endless expectations and left messages expressing excitement, "excitement", "anticipation", "hope to get tickets" and other excited feelings. A considerable number of fans were worried that there were too many competitors vying for tickets and there were only 4 concerts. Less than 60,000 tickets will definitely not be enough, so many people called on SM to temporarily change the venue to a larger venue.

This proposal really makes people don’t know what to say.

Putting aside the question of whether the venue rental has already been rented and paid for, and whether it can be temporarily changed now, the "Olympic Gymnastics Arena" alone is already one of the top venues for IDOL's concerts in the peninsula, regardless of The facilities, geographical location and symbolic meaning are all very good. The maximum capacity of 15,000 spectators is not high compared to those of those domes, but it is definitely not low.

Among all the idol groups in the Peninsula music industry, only the top groups can hold tours here. Even if the remaining groups hope to tour here, they can only do so because their popularity does not support such a large venue. You can't get your money back without selling tickets, so you can only choose small venues with thousands or even a thousand seats.

This is actually the current situation of most Kpop groups. They say they go on tours all over the world every day to promote Kpop, and all kinds of big-character posters are filled with fans flying rainbow farts, making them hot and boasting like world superstars. In fact, most of them are small venues with thousands of people or even Most of the time, fans or officials have to find a good angle to take photos or cover the auditorium with black cloth. In real tours, they can easily hold large venues with more than 10,000 people, including a few groups such as EXO and Big Bang.

SM really did their best for this concert. They hired a well-known concert design team from the United States at a high price. It took nearly five minutes to shoot just the special effects VCR for the effect. The investment was not small, and there was still more than a month left. The monthly income is no longer sufficient. Although it has just been a week since their comeback, EXO's focus in the past few days has actually been on preparations for the concert.

To be honest, XO members also pay more attention to touring than returning. After all, concerts are the most profitable.

In the past few days, EXO has been working hard on the VCRs needed to shoot. In addition to the special effects video at the beginning, there are also several VCRs that need to be used for transitions in the middle. The workload is huge.

ut..."

"Jingyuan, don't be so stiff on your expression. There's nothing to be embarrassed about. Don't laugh at others... Just imagine that you are a superpower now and a member of the Avengers. You can have a more arrogant expression. Anyway, He's so handsome." The PD stopped the filming, waved his hand to stop the laughter from the onlookers, and patiently said a few more words to Chi Jingyuan.

"PDni Source Changing App allows you to view the latest chapters of this book on multiple sites at the same time. 】

SM won't do that.

"After Jinro replaced IU as the spokesperson, I heard that the market share has increased a lot."

Jin Junmian picked up the soju bottle on the table, turned it around in his hand and looked at it. He smiled at Li Zhien's idol on it and asked curiously: "She is really popular, and the effect is so obvious. , how much can IU’s endorsement fee be in a year?”

At this moment, the five members of EXO are enjoying a meal in a private room of a barbecue restaurant near KBS TV station in Yeongdeungpo-gu.

After a day of filming the concert VCR, the five XO people went to KBS to record the radio program "Kisstheradio" in the evening. After the program ended, it was almost 12 o'clock, and several of them were a little hungry, so they found a barbecue restaurant nearby. After having a late night snack and ordering a few bottles of soju, we unknowingly started talking about IU, the spokesperson on the bottle.

Even after most of the oil fumes on the table were exhausted by the smoker above the table, there was still a strong smell. Various meats were grilled on the charcoal grill, making a sizzling sound, accompanied by the occasional sip of saliva and chewing. As well as the sound of clinking wine glasses, the whole box was filled with the intoxicating smell of fireworks.

"Of course we don't know the specific figure, but the maximum should not exceed 1.5 billion won, and I think it may not exceed one billion."

As the member with the most personal advertising endorsements, Chi Jingyuan swallowed the roast meat in his mouth, thought about it, gave his own evaluation, and shook his head gently.

"What's that expression on your face? Why do you look so disdainful?"

Seeing Chi Jingyuan's expression, Bian Baixian was a little dissatisfied and tapped the plate with his tachyon: "One billion is already a lot, right?"

"Well, more." Chi Jingyuan nodded perfunctorily, not bothering to provoke him.

"Axi..."

Kim Jun-myeon looked at IU's profile picture and suddenly thought, "Jinro's advertisements and bottles are everywhere. Why didn't Kyung-won think of competing for this soju endorsement? It feels like it can expand the national popularity very well."

"How is it possible? The main consumers of soju are men. How can any man be interested in buying it after seeing his face printed on the bottle?"

Wu Shixun laughed immediately after hearing this. He picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp. He glanced at Chi Jingyuan and then at the soju bottle in front of him. He seemed to think of the way Chi Jingyuan's face was printed on the bottle. He waved his hand in disgust and even moved the wine bottle in front of him some distance away.

"That's fine."

However, Chi Jingyuan raised his eyes and thought about it, and seriously considered the feasibility of this proposal: "Maybe I will help Jinro expand the market among many women? I will find a way to compete next year."

"Eh~~"

"Then you and IU form a soju CP."

"It sounds very interesting. Why don't you two date each other?"

"It's not impossible...but everyone has men, right? There were rumors a few days ago that he was photographed, are they true or false?" How could one show timidity at the wine table with such a topic? Chi Jingyuan narrowed his eyes reservedly He smiled and nodded noncommittally, taking away all the other people's heckles. He picked up the wine glass and took a sip of soju. He also glanced at the profile picture on the bottle and asked, remembering the news he had seen before.

"I heard it's true, with Jang Kiha." Park Chanyeol used tachyon to scare Huo on the baking sheet. He who was relatively well-informed began to gossip: "I heard that we were in contact last year, I don't know the details. I know, but it must be true.”

"What's wrong with having a male ticket? Just because of Uli Jingyuan..."

Just when Bian Baixian saw that no outsiders were shouting around, Chi Jingyuan's cell phone suddenly rang. He quickly put the sandwiched meat into his mouth, put down Kuai Zi, and freed his hand to take out the cell phone. After taking a look at the familiar caller, he blinked, took out two pieces of toilet paper, wiped his mouth, stood up, waved and said hello: "I'm going to answer the phone, don't forget to leave some for me."

"What a beautiful thought..."

When Chi Jingyuan opened the door and walked out of the box, he answered the phone and said "hello". Park Chanyeol couldn't help turning his head and glanced at him after hearing the obvious Chinese. He was a little surprised and then smiled narrowly.



Hello. "

After walking out of the box, Chi Jingyuan glanced around, found a shot of the corridor where there was no one around, and opened the originally closed window. A gust of cold wind jolted him, dissipating the heat from his body and making him sober. Say hello to the phone.

Zhou Ziyu called.

But he fed her twice in a row, but there was still no sound from the other side. If he hadn't heard the faint sound of extremely low breathing, he would have taken out his mobile phone to confirm whether the call was connected.

"Why are you pretending to be serious and talking?"

It seemed that the night breeze was very comfortable. Chi Jingyuan stretched out his hand to open the window a little wider, and then deliberately made an impatient tone: "Crazy, if you don't speak, I will hang up."

"What are you doing, why are you doing this..."

There was a soft voice that was obviously unhappy and somewhat resentful. Faced with Chi Guoguo's threat, Zhou Ziyu still surrendered.

Her tone was slightly hoarse and sticky, as if she had just cried.

It was already very late. With the schedule of Zhou Ziyu and other trainees, they should go to bed immediately even if they haven't gone to bed yet. There must be something wrong with her calling so late, and her condition doesn't sound like she is in good condition. good.

"Not sleeping so late...let me take a guess."

Chi Jingyuan heard that she seemed to be in a bad mood. After raising his eyes and thinking for a while, he seemed to have thought of something. His tone suddenly became louder and he asked in a surprised voice:

"You were eliminated in the first episode of "Sixteen", which you weren't going to participate in, right?"
