"You want to change clothes now? This outfit is really good. I haven't seen enough."
Seeing the VCR playing again on the big screen, Zheng Endi, knowing that it was time to change clothes for a scene, muttered something dissatisfied.
After apink became popular through "luv" at the end of last year, it adjusted the focus of the group's work under the company's operation at the beginning of this year. In addition to holding its first concert, apink focused most of its energy and time on In addition to Neon's activities, they released their second Japanese single in February and are currently preparing for the release of their third Japanese single.
Because the focus of activities has shifted and they did not strike while the iron was hot, their popularity on the peninsula has dropped a bit. As for their results on the neon side, they are okay...
These two days were before Neon's return. I could take a few days off from my busy schedule to adjust my mood, so I went to watch EXO's concert with three interested members.
Naturally, she got the tickets from Chi Jingyuan, but she didn't ask for a seat in the front row. She specifically chose a first-floor stand with a 45-degree angle that was more comfortable.
"Isn't it the management of most concerts to change one outfit after three or four songs?"
Wu Xiarong, who was sitting closer, looked a little excited. His face was flushed and his bangs on his forehead were a little messy. He looked at the VCR playing on the big screen and said, "But their clothes are really good, and the lighting effects are really great." Bravo."
"I also think the stage and lighting design are amazing. SM is really good at it. I don't know which team designed it."
"Last time I heard Jingyuan say that their company seems to be cooperating with a well-known team in the United States. Their exo members have already put forward a lot of opinions..."
Knowing some of the situation, Zheng Endi briefly explained it, and then smacked his lips with envy: "I don't know when our company will be able to achieve better results."
"Don't mention this, isn't it good to look at the handsome guy?"
"that is……"
Son Na-eun sat there silently, listening to the members' discussions and looking at VCR with a smile. Although she once dated Chi Jingyuan and they have always been a bit reluctant and lingering, they have been separated for so long after all, and she happened to meet exo the day after tomorrow last year. She even hinted at her offense through the lyrics of "luv" After a while, he even took the initiative to send a message to ask him out. His intention was very obvious. Unfortunately, although Chi Jingyuan saw it, he either didn't reply or declined.
So she also understood what the other party meant, and after the loss, she tried her best not to be entangled.
And in fact, they had only been dating for a few months, and the relationship was not so deep that she had to be with him. It was just because of the excellence of the other party that she could not help but feel that it was difficult to make water in the sea.
Of course, even so, the other party still has a very special status in her heart, and she always wants to pay attention to him from time to time.
"Out!"
"This dress..."
Zheng Eunji shouted in a low voice, and the VCR finished playing. As the music played, the screen door slowly opened, and EXO, who had changed into a cartoon clown overalls, walked onto the stage again and continued the performance from "Peter Pan".
"The x that kisses quietly is kiss, and the o that hugs tightly is hug."
From " Peter Pan " to " Obviously, I couldn't get enough of these songs. After watching it for a while, Jin Nanzhu leaned into his ear and commented: "These songs are obviously not as handsome as before."
"Didn't you hear how good the atmosphere was? These songs are sung for fans. Are you a fan?" Wu Xiarong glanced at her sideways.
"Of course, I am a fan of Yuan's girlfriend and variety shows..."
"Hahaha... Hey Yigu, what are they doing? Just change clothes on the spot?" Wu Xiarong screamed twice without laughing twice, and quickly slapped her with his hand twice while watching the action on the stage.
After "xoxo" ended, the stage for "lucky" began. At this time, a huge long screen was pushed up by the staff at the back of the stage. EXO who had previously performed in various positions all walked behind the screen and performed in a special Under the light, Chuo Chuo's shadows were vaguely reflected on the screen, and you could clearly see the images of everyone changing their clothes.
"Ahhhh..."
Obviously they were not the only ones, this session immediately made all the fans excited. The screams seemed to be able to pierce the eardrums. They stared at the screen on the stage with their eyes wide open and their mouths slightly open. They were excited. I can't wait to jump up.
It's a pity that this light only lasted for less than two seconds before disappearing, and the reflection suddenly became blurry, making many Ali swallow their saliva with unfulfilled satisfaction.
However, when I saw the nine members of EXO standing up from behind the screen, Lu kept shaking his head and happily sang the already lively song "Lucky", I couldn't help but laugh and followed them, sinking into the music and stage. In the charm.
At the last part of the song, Chi Jingyuan, who had changed into a pair of pink overalls, and a group of people tore open the screen from behind at the same time. Amid screams, they ran to the stage, and the music seamlessly connected to " While singing "3.6.5", everyone picked up the plastic basket filled with small gifts that had been placed nearby. While singing, they ran to the area that had been divided before and put the things in the box. Gifts are distributed to fans.
They are candies and snacks specially prepared by some companies. They are not very expensive things. They are mainly used to interact with fans and represent some feelings.
Chi Jingyuan's area happened to include Zhou Ziyu's side. He actually remembered the opponent's position after just taking a look at him. When he passed by the edge of the stage, he glanced over there and saw Zhou Ziyu smiling. He waved to him with a look of anticipation. He lowered his head and rummaged through the basket, grabbed a handful of candies and threw them in the direction next to Zhou Ziyu, just missing her position completely.
He walked forward without any hesitation, and at the same time smiled secretly in his heart. You can fully imagine the expression on this girl's face now.
Chi Jingyuan showed no restraint and handed out all the candies in the basket after just a few steps. He carried the half-empty basket around the field for half a circle. However, the fans were not disappointed at all after seeing it. Instead, they stood up excitedly and came closer. Stage frantically stretched out his hand to clap and interact with him, but Chi Jingyuan simply smiled brightly and patted him all the way, which made his hand hurt a little.
Returning to the stage, the other members had also come back and stood in a row to start chatting. He took out a toffee that he had reserved for the last time, opened the package and put it in his mouth, standing next to the team in front of the audience. I ate the noodles happily.
Suddenly the camera gave him a close-up. On the big screen, Chi Jingyuan's left cheek was bulging with toffee. He hadn't noticed it when he was photographed. He was lazing there happily, and he immediately There was a burst of laughter and cheers.
There was a short break through chat interaction, and soon it was time to enter the next performance.
"First Snow", "Spring" and "The Miracle of December"
Every song is a classic song with energy that is familiar to fans. Whenever the intro sounds at the beginning, the name of the song will immediately appear in their minds.
Two of the songs represent exo's past glory, and "Spring", which is still at the top of the music charts, represents their return to the top.
Even ordinary passers-by who didn’t know much about EXO before, just out of curiosity and to join in the fun, or who were pulled over to watch the concert by friends or family, can hum along to the sweet tune and enjoy this gentle and timeless music. Atmosphere.
Especially for "Miracle in December", when all the other members came off the stage and changed their costumes, only Chi Jingyuan and the other four lead singers were left standing quietly on the lifting platform and slowly rising up, with their heads lowered and their expressions calm and relaxed. Sing lightly,
Many old fans who were overly devoted could not suppress the urge to cry. Their eyes even started to turn red when they heard the intro and the first line of the opening. They looked at the four people on the stage infatuatedly and couldn't help but remember that they once liked this group. The happiest days.
It's a pity that "December Miracle", which represents twelve people, can't go back. The twelve people have become nine, and the lead singer is also missing.
It is precisely because of this that the feeling of incompleteness and regret makes this song more profound and has become a pain point for many Ellie.
Zhou Ziyu looked at Chi Jingyuan who was very close to her with clear eyes. He was standing on the lift platform, with his head lowered, holding a microphone, and singing the deep melody of North Korea in a clear voice, while she was also slightly opening her mouth. Mouth, singing along from the whole process until now:
"Now I wish I didn't have..."
"This embarrassing super power."
She really likes the song "Miracle in December". She listened to it many times when it first came out in 2013. She clearly remembers the lyrics in both Chinese and Korean versions. She even filmed a video singing this song with her friends. A short video of the Chinese version of the song.
After Chi Jingyuan sang the last line, the stage ended, and the slightly sad atmosphere of "December Miracle" lingered in the venue. = Many viewers seemed to be still immersed in a somewhat depressed mood, and even the cheers changed. Gotta be a little smaller.
However, as the lights dimmed and lit, the four lead singers who had just performed had left the stage, and Park Chanyeol, who had changed clothes after leaving the stage, came back to the stage.
"Wow, everyone must be crazy from now on. Let's play a game together..."
He held the microphone and waved to the midfield and the auditorium on the top of the mountain: "Friends on the second and third floors, stand up!"
"ye~"
Many fans were intrigued and responded loudly.
"Ahem..." Park Chanyeol cleared his throat and raised the microphone: "I say ex, you say o!"
"ex..."
"o!"
"ex..."
He first gave a demonstration, and when he said it for the second time, when Park Chanyeol said the first two syllables again, all the audience immediately gave a very enthusiastic response and shouted the "o" sound loudly and uniformly.
"Louder!"
"i say ex, you say o!"
"ex..."
"o!"
"ex..."
"o!"
"Okay, let's go!" With his loud command, the lights that had been dull just now suddenly became colorful, injecting an incomparable freshness into the atmosphere that had become a little calm due to the lyrical songs. Living emotions.
The strong rhythm and drumbeats began to stir, and a diamond-shaped DJ center console in the center of the stage slowly descended from the sky in the middle of the already raised six-pointed star elevator. Park Chanyeol walked to the center console and stood up. At the same time, Several members who had changed clothes in advance walked to the stage from different passages. Jin Junmyeon took the microphone and shouted loudly: "Are you ready to have fun?"
"My relatives and friends on the second and third floors, come together!"
With the encouragement of EXO members, the rhythm and drumbeats became stronger and faster, and finally vented when the blood swelled.
"Jump! jump! jump! jump! exo!"
"Jump! jump! jump! jump! we are...exo!"
Several members jumped on the spot on the stage, each time they moved extremely hard, singing straightforward and exciting lyrics loudly into the microphone, and at the same time, they kept waving their other hand to the rapper sitting there. With this unique gesture, the scene that had been brewing for a long time suddenly came to a boil, allowing the audience whose emotions were aroused to immediately get an excellent venting point.
After Park Chanyeol rapped for a long time, the lead singers of Ji Jingyuan, who had just changed clothes after performing the show, also appeared on the stage through the elevator. The light beam that was specially directed towards him could clearly see him rising and falling from the spring-like elevator. He jumped up and jumped onto the stage, holding the microphone and seamlessly connected to the performance: "Raise your hands high, raise your hands high"
"Raise your hands high, raise your hands high"
"Raise your hands high, raise your hands high"
"ohree exo drp that!"
"Jump! jump! jump! jump! exo!"
"Jump! jump! jump! jump! we are...exo!"
Seeing the lead singers Chi Jingyuan on stage, the cheers and screams in the venue, which was already like a blazing fire, once again rose to a new level.
He was wearing a pure black suit lined with a white shirt, without buttons or ties. He was singing and jumping and running on the stage... It was more like shouting than singing. He was surrounded by colorful lights, blue and green. , red, brilliant laser light dazzling the entire venue, and the diamond-shaped center console is constantly changing colors.
The strong drum beat, passionate rhythm, noisy crowd, restless audience and crazy young men on the stage directly turned the entire gymnastics arena into a super-sized hot nightclub.
Chi Jingyuan, the last person to appear, also wore flat shoes with LEDs wrapped around the edges that could emit white light. They were very conspicuous and trendy under the dim lighting and colorful lights.
At this time, all the audience had already been completely immersed in this exciting and addictive atmosphere. The fans on the second and third floors could not contain their excitement and stood up together with EXO on the stage. , jumping up and down on the spot, shouting out the syllables with all their strength every time they got to a part that required a response. This song they had never heard of had already made them deeply involved. It is rare to see exo like this. Style music, the whole scene seemed to be on fire and about to explode.
This song "drop that" is a single that has not been officially released by exo, and it has not been included in the regular second album "exo-l". The company plans to add Japanese lyrics to it and then include it in Among the neon albums to be released in the second half of the year.
But it does not prevent me from singing it in advance at this concert.
This song changes from EXO's usual cool style and goes directly to the passionate nightclub style. It sounds a bit similar to the style of some Big Bang songs. It doesn't care about the melody or the lyrics. The only purpose is to stir up the atmosphere. , let everyone jump up and light up.
Looking at it now, the effect is really good.
In the second half, the three lead singers consciously walked back to the center of the stage, starting with Do Kyung-soo, and substituting the song that had been purely shouting into a moving melody: "Maybe every day, I rely on the moon to dream. Bar."
"Looking at each other, I think of the sun and the moon, me and you!"
Then it was Byun Baekhyun's turn. His last elongated note had already raised the tune to a certain height, and the notes in the two parts were each higher than the last.
Until Chi Jingyuan arrived at the end, he stood on the raised lift platform, with the center console and huge screen behind him. He sang the last high note with great enthusiasm:
"Throw yourself into this suffocating world and let's go crazy."
"Are you ready to change the world..."
Every syllable was at the highest point, and the high-pitched sound that seemed to penetrate the clouds and mist instantly resounded through the ceiling, surrounding everyone's ears three-dimensionally, like a flowing waterfall, pure and thorough, but not harsh at all.
The last note lasted for ten seconds. Even Chi Jingyuan had exhausted all his strength. He stood on the lifting platform, his feet forward and backward, his body arched, his eyes closed and he controlled his breathing and breathing with great concentration. way of speaking.
Dazzling colored lights, burning atmosphere, sweat stains on forehead, temples and bridge of nose, unbuttoned and open collar, dazzling figure against the light, dazzling and hearty smile, slightly exposed veins, serious and focused expression , radiant flat shoes with a sci-fi style, paired with a straight black suit. This extremely formal and serious look makes Chi Jingyuan look very contrasting in charm at this time, coupled with the shock and The admiring high-pitched singing made Chi Jingyuan become the only focus in the entire venue at this moment. No matter idols or fans, they couldn't take their eyes away at all.
Until the protracted ending ended after ten seconds, he stood up straight as if to vent, waved his left hand vigorously, raised the corners of his mouth, and his eyes in the close-up were full of excitement, enthusiasm and obvious enjoyment. The whole thing People's temperaments have undergone obvious changes.
Seeing this scene, many fans felt as if they were hit by an electric current, and their whole bodies went numb.
"hey~hey~hey~hey~, exo!"
"hey~hey~hey~hey~we are..."
"exo!"
In the last line of the audience's crazy response, the song "drop that" that made everyone jump up and reach the peak of excitement ended here. Screams came and went, and many people watched with unfulfilled interest. After coming off the stage, Chi Jingyuan was sweating and panting, recalling the three treble notes that he and the other two lead singers had just performed that made people tremble. His heart was full of lingering and reluctance.
"Is this a new song? What's its name?"
"I've never heard of it. Is it a regular song? The style is really cool..."
Many fans started whispering about this song that you will never forget once you hear it.
"Hey Yigu, Jingyuan is really... I don't know how to put it..."
After watching this stage, Jiang Seulqi's eyes shone brightly and she was speechless for a moment.
Stage performance itself can greatly amplify the personal charm of idols. Many idols with average appearance and figure will attract people's attention on the right stage.
And Ji Jingyuan himself is an excellent person in many aspects. Coupled with the extremely amazing performance just now and the high notes that still linger in the ears, the charm of the whole person is completely amplified, making Jiang Seulgi, a close friend, They were all a bit shocked.
She looked to the side, and sure enough, it was as if Oni and Pei Zhuhyun had not heard her words. A pair of big shining eyes had been tracking a figure on the stage. His eyes followed the other person's footsteps, and the corners of his mouth were pursed. It's very beautiful, with a satisfied expression and a hint of surprise. He's so focused that he doesn't seem to have the heart to listen to her emotions.
She curled her lips in understanding. Jiang Seqi understood the relationship between these two people relatively well, and she was slightly envious for a moment.
After looking at Pei Zhuxuan's profile, she turned her head and pointed it at Sun Shengwan, and asked curiously: "Shengwan, what do you think of Jingyuan's high voice?"
"Does that need to be said? Perfect!" Sun Shengwan gave a thumbs up with an appreciative look on his face. At the same time, he seemed to be interested in the high-pitched performance just now. He also opened his mouth and made an "ah" mouth shape and tried to sing. one time.
"What if Jingyuan's part is yours?"
Hearing this question, Sun Shengwan hesitated for a moment, but she was still very good at singing. She pondered for a moment and then nodded: "It should be okay..."
"I also think you can..."
"Hey hey hey, by the way, those light-emitting shoes from Jingyuan and others look good, where can I buy them?"
"I don't know. Let's ask him later. I think he's very handsome too."
As the two friends who were close friends in the same year chatted, Jiang Seulqi suddenly felt a little strange. Before, she had always been excited about every stage. Kim Yelin, who had always looked like an EXO fan girl, suddenly became silent. Such a handsome stage, so powerful. As a charming person, shouldn't she be shaking Ernie's arm and shouting "so handsome" just like before?
Jiang Seulqi glanced to the left and found that the maknae, who had always been very lively before, was sitting in her seat, slightly hunched over and supporting her cheek with the back of her hand, looking at the figure on the stage seriously, but she was inexplicably quiet. down.
"dorp that" directly ignited the atmosphere of all the audience at the concert. Even after the stage ended, the air seemed to be filled with heat and passion. The fans who had already stood up had no desire to sit down and were jumping around. After watching it with a full sense of participation, I wrote down the stages of "let out the beast", "dope" and "i need u".
The stage songs in this section were all in the direction of excitement. After a few songs, many audience members were overly excited and felt their voices were a little hoarse. When the lights turned dark, they sang several songs in a row. When exo came off the stage to change clothes, they took a short rest and talked a lot about the performance just now.
At this point, more than half of the concert has passed, and it’s time to enter the final session. EXO still has some big hits that they haven’t performed yet, and the most curious new title song hasn’t appeared either.
But before they could take a breath and rested for less than two minutes, the big screen that had just finished playing a vcr showing super powers suddenly lit up, and most of Chi Jingyuan's face was directly facing the camera. A close-up.
He was wearing a blue suit that fit him perfectly. He was looking at the camera curiously, as if he was studying how to use the camera.
"Wow……"
This close-up made many people gasp in admiration.
Then in the picture, he stood a little further away, took out his mobile phone and opened the music interface, selected one of the songs and clicked to play.
The next second, a prelude that had never been heard before reached the ears of the audience.
"oo~~woo~~woo~~^"
The unique style and extremely melodious melody shocked everyone. They couldn't help but prick up their ears and listen. They stared closely at the big screen while making various guesses in their minds.
Could this be...
As the prelude gradually progressed, the camera followed Chi Jingyuan's back as he walked towards a room. When he was about to enter the room, he suddenly turned around and glanced at the camera, smiled brightly and blinked, and said The fans turned around and walked in without waiting for them to scream. Byun Baekhyun, who had been waiting for a long time, quickly entered the gate.
"Curious about everything, how was your day?"
"oh tell me~~oya, oya~"
The introduction immediately made everyone's eyes light up. They felt that this tune was unexpectedly good and it fit very well with the intro just now. In addition, Bian Baekhyun's deliberately inverted and sultry voice and singing made it a gentle and sweet song. The atmosphere was created immediately.
It's a pity that there are only two short sentences, and there are no vocals immediately after, leaving only the rhythm of drum beats, which makes many fans who have just joined in can't help but kick their feet impatiently.
At the same time, under Baekhyun's introduction, the camera gradually zoomed out, and all the members entered the country, stood in line and started dancing together.
It was also just a few simple actions. After the completion, the queue instantly dispersed and walked towards the dark exit. Chi Jingyuan, who was walking at the end, came to the camera again and pointed with his thumb in the direction of the exit. After a moment, he opened his suit with a smile and pushed the lining forward to block the camera, and the screen immediately went dark.
At this moment, the nine members of EXO walked onto the stage, seamlessly connecting with the VCR that was played just now, as if they walked out of the camera.
They stood in position under the excited cheers of the fans who had already had a premonition of what song this was. Several huge English characters appeared on the big screen in time, showing the name of the song:
"boy with love"
