Listening to the straightforward and sweet lyrics, following the strong rhythm and pleasant melody, Bae Zhuhyun stood alone at the entrance of the backstage, holding the script in her left hand and the microphone in her right hand. Her body swayed gently with the music, and her head followed the beat. She kept lighting, and the long brown hair on both sides of her cheeks was swaying, which showed her enjoyment and devotion to the stage at this moment that radiated from her whole body.
Even though she couldn't see clearly the pre-recorded video being played on the big screen from her current angle, and even the front of EXO's stage could only be seen clearly from the back, it did not affect her excellent mood at this time at all. , and a strong sense of empathy for the lyrics and performance.
From the song title to every lyric, she couldn't help but feel in her ears that these were written by herself, and every sentence was spoken to herself.
She looked at the back of Chi Jingyuan who had withdrawn from the C position and retreated to the back of the stage to dance with the formation. He was not far away from her, tilting his head with stars in his eyes:
You said it yourself……
In addition to Bae Zhuhyun, this is also the truest mood of many Aili and the audience who are watching the live broadcast of "Music Bank" at this time. In addition to the rhythm and melody of this song, which is very brainwashing and pleasant to listen to, it will really make them have a strong feeling. empathy.
It's like my first love was telling the attachment and ignorance in my heart, telling about their experiences together, expressing the emotions in my heart directly, I just feel that my heart is overflowing with sweetness and warmth.
Everyone seems to be able to find their own position and role here, which is also an important reason why although it is not a hit song, its reputation and listening ratings outweigh the title song.
After "Orientation Sniper", the stage for the title song "lht" will follow.
After VCR, EXO, who were still wearing casual hip-hop attire just now, have all changed into a completely different style of clothing. Half of the members are wearing blue American-style high school uniforms, and the other half have no jackets, but only wear pure white ones. The shirts are worn with red and black ties, and are paired with light blue jeans. Just by standing there, one can't help but feel that they exude a heart-warming energy and youthful feeling.
And a strong boyfriend style.
They were divided into three columns, with three people in each column standing neatly on the stage, taking the opening pose.
"Oh yeah, e on!"
"take your time."
"A night of inexplicable turmoil."
Do Kyungsoo took the lead and started the show. His gentle voice introduction drew the audience who had not yet concentrated their attention into the performance. The exo9 figures who were originally standing in three rows exploded like fireworks and dispersed within a second. Go to the entire stage and start to follow the sound source to start flexible rhythm and neat dance.
The accompaniment and arrangement combine classical instrumental music and modern electronic music. The guitar and bass complement each other tacitly. Coupled with the background of brass instruments, the entire arrangement has a strong rhythm and at the same time makes people feel delicate and gentle. style.
Although this song still shows the complex and frequent stage moves that EXO has become famous for and has been praised by fans for a long time. Every time the formation is switched, it is as dazzling as a butterfly walking through a flower.
But in general, the overall dance movements are not difficult. Among all EXO's dance songs, they are relatively simple. The dance movements are exquisite and generous, and the ups and downs of waving hands and kicks seem to have some Broadway classical opera style. , using the simplest and most straightforward dance to show its own charm and the turbulent emotions in her heart.
"Oh!"
"The road is an extended show."
"The eyes that look at me are as bright as the stars."
"just lht, uh huh, baby lht uh huh"
"Come to me, don't hesitate, you are my intoxicating and charming world."
"just lht, uh huh"
"My universe is all about you."
As soon as the song started, the entire stage was filled with a joyful and relaxed atmosphere, and it was even more so when it came to the chorus. From the beginning to now, everyone in EXO had a sunny and gentle smile on their face, which made people laugh just by looking at it. I find it pleasing to the eye.
When rehearsing this song, the dance teacher and producer repeatedly asked them to smile more when performing on stage, and not to be greasy or exaggerated, but to smile beautifully. The original words were, 'What do you mean to your girlfriend or girlfriend? How your family laughs is how you laugh on stage'.
Even though it is not difficult to laugh at all, they still rehearsed for a long time for the best stage effect.
At this time, the audience could appreciate the unique charm of this song.
Nine handsome boys in school uniforms or white shirts, with a strong academic style and a boyish look, smile brightly and sincerely at you, and the curves of their mouths and eyebrows seem to go straight into your heart. Coupled with the cheerful and relaxed tune and the elegant and neat dance, a kind of sincere enthusiasm from the heart comes to the face, just like the summer breeze with a strong sense of joy, and a wave of happiness can't help but surge up in the heart.
After all, dance music still depends on the stage. You really can’t appreciate the charm of making people smile by listening to the music alone.
The single lyrics in the chorus are constantly looped. Although 'lht' is repeated 23 times in the whole song, it does not seem lengthy and redundant under the catchy melody. On the contrary, it adds to the brainwashing and intoxication. .
"yea you love me."
"yea you love me."
"My universe is all about you."
The whole song ends with the last core lyrics of the song. The progress of the live TV broadcast and the live stage are somewhat different. Before the performance in the live broadcast ended, the live exo had already left the stage, and the next one who had been waiting for a long time A group of artists had also appeared at this time.
When Chi Kyung-won walked into the backstage, he looked at the smiling Bae Zhu-hyun and quickly returned to the lounge to start changing clothes. Immediately after the last stage ended, he came up to host the award for his first MC.
“It’s great, the staging of both songs is very nice.”
After changing into a white shirt and casual pants, Chi Jingyuan took the script and microphone from the staff and walked back to the exit of the backstage. Not long after he stood still, Bae Zhuhyun next to him smiled and praised him in a low voice.
"Haha..." Chi Jingyuan chuckled and said nothing more. He looked at Jinusean, the last guest to appear on today's episode of "Music Bank" who was performing on the stage.
Today EXO is back. Given their popularity, the reason why they can't be the last one to take the stage is because Jinusean, a senior group, has returned to sing during this time.
This group is a two-person hop-hop group launched by YG Company in 1997. The frequency of activities was not high, but it was very popular at the time. And after so many years, the two members of this group are no longer just artists. I don’t know how much effort it took to become a group. The director of yg company has increased a lot in both income and status.
I just don’t know if as a director, I have integrated into yg’s corporate culture.
Chi Jingyuan was very curious as he looked at the two seniors who were singing and dancing with a group of backup dancers.
The song they came back to this time is very interesting. The studio version of their comeback single "Tell Me Again" featured Zhang Han Na from the same company. However, only in the first week of the song song, the stage was with Zhang Han Na. The following weeks Whenever I play songs, I collaborate with different female artists to create gimmicks. Today I am collaborating with 2ne1’s Sandara Park.
As expected of a director, he has quite a wide network of contacts.
"Which song do you like better?" After watching for a while, Chi Jingyuan asked Pei Zhuxuan in a low voice.
There was a rustling and messy voice coming from behind, and Bae Zhuhyun glanced back, because it was already the stage for the last song. All idol artists who participated in today's performance came out of the lounge and went to the entrance of the stage studio to wait for the stage. At this time, idols were already standing on both sides of the corridor, chatting quietly with their teammates and acquaintances. Although everyone could keep their voices low, it still sounded a bit noisy with so many people gathered together. .
She also saw one of her members standing not far behind her, pointing in the direction of her and Chi Jingyuan along with a few people from EXO, smiling so narrowly that she didn't know what they were talking about.
But without hearing it with his own ears, Bae Zhuhyun knew what they were talking about just by guessing.
There was a group of female idols standing behind him, and they seemed to be looking at the two of them from behind. Pei Zhuxuan was not too straightforward, so he just pursed his lips at Chi Jingyuan, who was looking at him, and opened his mouth slightly to make a few words. He mouthed the words but made no sound. After he finished speaking, he tilted his head and blinked sweetly.
Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but laugh when he saw it. Pei Zhuhyun's lip sync was not the title of the song, but the words "You are my orientation sniper".
As expected of a young sister, she looks so good-looking even when she is straightforward.
When Jinusean's stage was about to end, under the notice of PD, all the artists except MC took the lead and stood behind them and danced the last short part with Jinusean, which was a great honor to the two senior directors.
"Live broadcast, "Music Bank"! The handsome stage performance with all the performers is over..."
After the stage officially ended and the music stopped, the two MCs, Chi Jingyuan and Bae Zhuhyun, came back to the stage with the drumbeats of BGM and the cheers of the audience below. They stood at the front and center of all the artists and began to host the next session. Awards were given.
"Music Bank, the first week of May 2015, is about to announce today's number one, exid and exo. Who will be number one? Please look at the scores!"
Under the guidance of Chi Jingyuan, the live broadcast camera switched to the score settlement screen.
Although EXO can still appear in the top three or one of the candidates on several singing shows from time to time, to be honest, it is not competitive enough in the face of the latest popular groups that have returned, but it is just relying on the steady sales score. It still has a place in "Music Bank".
exid, an unknown group that Chi Jingyuan once saw by chance on the roadside and was doing street performances, has become one of the most popular girl groups in the entire peninsula since the music counterattack last year. That song "Shang Xia", which made them popular, has been released for more than half a year and has long passed its singing period, but this song still often appears in the top 20 lists of major singing programs, which shows its amazing persistence and heat.
After they became famous and entered the public eye, fans and passers-by were surprised to find out, "Wow, why is the lead singer of this group so good?" ''Hani's stage performance is simply amazing,'' ''This group is really good,'' and other characteristics, all kinds of rainbow farts still sigh that their pearls are in the dust, lamenting why they didn't discover this treasure girl group earlier.
But who would have known that this was a girl group that was on the verge of disbanding when no one watched the road show last year and not even a few people cheered.
But in fact, the exid people are still the same people, and their strength and expressiveness cannot make rapid progress in such a short period of time. The whole reason is just because they became popular.
It's just that although their comeback title song "ah yeah" did well, Chi Jingyuan felt a little strange after listening to it.
No matter how he listened to it, he felt that this song sounded very similar to the previous song "Shang Xia" in terms of melody and song structure. It just changed a few places and the rest was almost carved from the same mold.
Maybe this is the unique style of their group.
"Sound source score..."
"Audience favorability..."
"Then today's glorious first master..."
"exid, thick Camida..."
As the ribbons floated down, Chi Jingyuan and Bae Zhuhyun announced today's winner. What's interesting is that the final awards ceremony for exid has not come yet. They just came to record a stage and then left due to schedule.
"We will definitely pass the trophy to them."
If a winner is not present, KBS staff will hand it over. Chi Jingyuan raised the trophy in his hand and shook it to indicate, and then looked at Bae Zhuhyun next to him: "Irene Xi, I am the MC today. How does it feel to premiere?”
Behind Ji Jingyuan stood EXO members. At this time, these people applauded and congratulated a winner, while looking at Ji Jingyuan and Bae Zhuhyun standing in front of them with smiles. Park Chanyeol and Kim Jong-in looked at each other with strange smiles. , even though the view of the camera was blocked, he gently pointed at the backs of the two of them, conveying an aura of playfulness in his eyes.
They really felt that it was very comical to see two people who were suspected of being ambiguous or in a relationship, standing side by side and acting as MCs, looking at each other and interacting in various ways.
They looked at it and wished they could try it out with a female prostitute.
Red Velvet couldn't stand in the front row because of their seniority and popularity. They were clapping their hands happily behind EXO, looking at their strongest team leader and their seniors with enthusiasm but different eyes.
"Well, I have been standing on the stage as a singer before, and today I am standing here as an MC. I am really excited and excited. Yuan Xi is also the first time to be an MC today, so he must be very nervous. ? But you still guided me very well in hosting, thank you very much." Pei Zhuxuan turned around and looked at each other with Chi Jingyuan. She expressed her gratitude after expressing sincere concern.
"Ani, thank you very much for being here. Irene Xi has given me a lot of help and relieved me of a lot of tension, Kang Sangmida." They looked at each other and said words of thanks. Chi Kyung-won and Bae Joo-hyun looked at each other for two seconds, blinked, and then turned back to face the camera at the same time in tacit understanding. Their voices were synchronized and harmonious and they said together: "We will also be waiting in "Music Bank" in the future. Everyone, please give me some love and support.”
"Indeed, we will work harder for the spread of the program and kpop!"
"See you next week then!"
At the end of the sentence, Chi Kyung-won and Bae Zhu-hyun did not move their feet, but their upper bodies were tilted and bent together. They each struck a cute pose and said their iconic closing words:
"When you need music, give it to me, musik!"
"Ahh..."
Seeing this scene, the audience below couldn't help but scream again. Even the ending was a little heart-warming.
After the concluding remarks, the camera took a final panoramic shot and the live broadcast officially ended. Chi Jingyuan and the two turned around and saluted each other with the guest artists behind them.
After thanking the audience, everyone returned to the backstage to wait. After the song show, there was basically a section to thank the program staff. It was very simple, just standing on both sides of the corridor and the PD and staff returning to the backstage. Say hello and say hello. The process is very short and is just a formality.
However, while waiting, standing on both sides of the corridor while chatting and making eye contact, it is also a good opportunity for many male and female idols to get in touch with each other, look at each other or exchange contact information. Chi Jingyuan and EXO once had a great time in this link. I don’t know how many female idols greeted me and tested me with my eyes.
Although he has never tried it, according to the popular knowledge of the members, as long as there are responsive eyes and expressions, and then through introductions and exchange of contact information through friends, it is easy and quick to develop a relationship.
It's just that the relationship under this situation shouldn't last too long.
"Hahaha..." When the two of them returned to the backstage and stood at the front, the XO member who was closest sat over and laughed and patted Chi Jingyuan on the shoulder. Wu Shixun even raised an eyebrow at him: "How do you feel? ?”
"You'll know when you know it." Chi Jingyuan looked at Bae Zhuhyun, who was bowing gently to EXO and then greeting Red Velvet not far away, and replied with a casual pout.
"I'm not talking about being an MC...forget it." Wu Shixun retorted. Seeing that the occasion was wrong, he didn't ask any more questions. He and the other brothers stood there laughing and chatting quietly.
After a while, the staff of "Music Bank" came back. PD Han Kyung-cheol even came out to show off his face. After the artists saluted and said "Thank you for your hard work", they dispersed. Ji Kyung-won and Kim Jun-myeon After explaining in a low voice, he and Bae Zhuhyun followed Han Jingzhe and the others to a conference room of the program team.
I have told them before that the MC needs to hold a small meeting with the program team after the show to summarize whether there were any problems with today's hosting, or if there is anything that needs attention and improvement.
However, there should be nothing wrong with Han Jingzhe's expression. As soon as he came in, he changed his usual serious expression and laughed happily a few times. He glanced at the two MCs standing there who looked very good at each other and felt happy and happy. He clapped proudly:
"The real-time ratings have been calculated. At the beginning of the broadcast, it was already double the usual 1.4%. After the show ended, it even reached 2.0%, which is close to three times the previous average ratings."
"According to the past, the number of viewers will drop significantly once MC transitions and hosts. This shows that many viewers are not interested in MC's hosting and lines at all, and they all come to watch idol stage performances. But today's event This did not happen in the previous episode. The biggest increase in ratings occurred during the MC's appearance, which shows that Yuan Xi and Irene Xi have done a really good job and attracted the audience."
"Bah bang bang..." As PD set the tone, several creatives and staff members in the conference room clapped happily, obviously very satisfied with today's immediate results.
Although the surge in ratings actually has a lot to do with the recent explosive return of EXO, but according to backstage statistics and analysis, it also has a very obvious effect on MC.
"Kang Sang Mita." Chi Jingyuan and Pei Zhuxuan looked at each other, stood up with a smile and saluted.
Han Jingzhe looked at the two of them and added with satisfaction:
"Today's issue is enough to prove that our changes are correct, and it also proves that our MC selection is completely correct!"
…
"Is there any mistake?"
However, after the live broadcast of "Music Bank" ended, many fans of xo started arguing on the Internet:
"Axi, what kind of Hugai is Irene? Why should she partner with our Yuan? When Xiba saw the way she was holding Oppa's hand and smiling, I wanted to tear her face apart!"
