A man is playing the game console attentively, holding the handle with both hands and clicking the keys quickly to make a crisp sound. Every few minutes, he changes his position because his neck is tired from sitting. From time to time, he frowns and clicks due to operating errors. He smacked his lips and sighed.
The other one was holding the phone quietly, his green-white fingers sliding softly on the screen every few seconds, and from time to time he would inadvertently pout his lips to study the little beauty of his manicure.
Then every once in a while, he would pick up a few strands of hair that had fallen down because he lowered his head. At the same time, he would look to the side, his eyes shouting with smiles and satisfaction, but he would not disturb him, and after two seconds, he would continue to do his own thing. matter.
In the noisy and busy environment around them, the peace and quiet of these two people seems a little out of place, but it is also extremely rare, making people enjoy the warmth of this moment.
It's a pity that this kind of tacit understanding that makes people reluctant to let go did not last too long. When several other EXO members who went out to socialize came back, they immediately saw this scene. Several people did not feel that the atmosphere here was precious, but on the contrary As soon as he came back, he looked at Chi Jingyuan and Pei Zhuxuan who were sitting together with expressions on their faces, pointing, and then looked like they were watching the excitement, and let out disgusting laughter from their mouths.
They were like a few monkeys in a cage in a zoo, laughing at the tourists outside.
well.
The harmonious atmosphere was broken. Chi Jingyuan looked helplessly at the few bitches next to him and sighed secretly in his heart.
After a while, Shinee, who had just arrived at the venue and had gone out to rehearse, also came back. The two boy bands who were very familiar with each other sat together and naturally couldn't calm down. Several girls from Red Velvet not far away saw this. side situation.
They were actually sitting next to them just now, and had already seen Chi Jingyuan and Bae Zhuhyun. However, under the leadership of Jiang Seulqi, they had always kept a look on their faces and did not come over. Now they saw the excitement, and a few Talent wandered over and joined in, sitting there and listening, chiming in from time to time.
Feeling the change in the surrounding atmosphere and the surge in the number of people, Chi Jingyuan and Bae Zhuxuan glanced at each other, laughed softly together, and then turned around and joined in. The three groups under SM began to chat and laugh. Time has made this area very lively, causing the eyes of other artists in the lounge to glance here inadvertently.
At four or five o'clock in the afternoon, the audience began to enter the venue, and the noise outside slowly became louder until six o'clock in the evening, the scheduled start time of the performance.
There are monitors set up in the lounge, and you can see the performances and situations on the stage from the backstage. However, the screen area is not large and looks like a large TV. It is quite crowded with so many people sharing one, and they are far apart. Still can't see clearly.
However, the Dream Concert is broadcast live online, so many people don’t even look at the monitor and watch the live broadcast directly on their mobile phones.
As soon as the show started, Leeteuk, who was today's MC, led dozens of dancers for a group dance to warm up the show. At the same time, the director in the sound system used electronic sounds to play the names of all the performing guests in sequence. Fans of the popular group were excited when he read it. The whole audience cheered, and the group that no one cared about suddenly fell silent. In contrast, the difference in treatment was obvious.
Amidst the waves of support, this year's dream concert officially began.
The first one to take the stage was Red Velvet, who had been waiting for a while. The song they performed was "Ice Cream Cake". This song has now completely replaced the two digital singles they released last year that competed with each other. It became their representative song.
It's just that among the nearly thirty groups of artists, the first to appear in the four-hour performance, this ranking actually feels a little lower. After all, in this kind of platter concerts, the more popular ones appear later. , I don’t know how the organizer arranged it.
Chi Jingyuan felt that based on Lai De Beibei's current popularity, even if it was due to some seniority reasons, he should perform in the middle and early stages. After all, there are several performers today who only debuted this year.
But he didn't bother to think about these details. He was the first to perform on stage and felt much more relaxed after coming off the stage. He could spend the remaining four hours freely, which was actually quite good.
After coming to Debeibei, the second one to appear was the girl group Nine Muses. As soon as they stood on the stage, they immediately formed a sharp contrast with Red Velvet who had just left the stage.
"Hey Yigu! There are so many people in the audience today."
"I was sweating all over, and I was so nervous."
After the show, they returned to the lounge backstage. As soon as they came back, Jiang Seulgi and Son Seungwan were fanning themselves with their hands, blushing and excitedly discussing the feeling of the performance just now.
This is the first time they have participated in the Dream Concert since their debut. The shock of the 60,000 people in the venue will indeed make people excited and surging.
Just looking at the red velvet members who were wearing cake skirts and having very uniform heights, and then looking at the nine muses that were performing on the phone with their long legs swinging around, the corner of Chi Jingyuan's mouth twitched and he said nothing.
"
After watching the live broadcast for a while, he felt a little bored. After all, he had been an insider for a few years since his debut, and he was not as enthusiastic about idol's stage performances as fans, especially when some Huhu boy groups appeared on stage. He immediately lost interest in the prelude to the song.
Forget it if it is a beautiful female idol. Even if the popularity is not high, you can at least watch it with an appreciative eye and see if there are any members who can leave a deep impression on you.
Moreover, the looks of the boy bands in the opening performance felt very familiar to him at first sight. The style of their school uniforms was completely a replica of their EXO 13 "Pao Xiao" period. Since then, the style of school uniforms has become the most popular style. It has become so popular that many newly debuted boy bands will try this style of songs and appearance.
It's just that it's been two years, and there is no longer any boy group that can look as handsome and stunning in school uniforms as they did in EXO's "Pao Xiao".
Just when he was in a daze, several people next to him suddenly laughed. Wu Shixun poked him with his elbow: "You are involved in the lyrics of this song..."
"What's wrong?"
Chi Jingyuan came back to his senses and was a little confused after hearing their laughter.
"Look at the stage."
Under their guidance, Chi Jingyuan returned his attention to the live broadcast on the screen and found that the girl group Laboum, a girl group that debuted at the same time as Red Velvet, was performing.
I had met and said hello twice during singing shows, but I was not familiar with them. Apart from knowing a sol bin, Chi Jingyuan couldn't even call out the names of their members.
The group's popularity was average, not very popular, and there were no popular members. He didn't understand where Wu Shixun and the others focused their attention.
"You are not Jiang Dongyuan, Kim Soohyun, and Ji Kyungwon, but I like you so much..."
But after reading the lyrics for a while, he understood it and chuckled.
His name is mentioned in the lyrics of laboum's song, and he has become a representative of male gods and ideal boyfriends alongside the two very famous actors.
Chi Jingyuan found it interesting that his name appeared in the girl group's song, and it still existed in such a form. He smiled and watched their performance for a while, and asked at the same time: "When was this song? New one?"
"I don't know. I haven't heard it specifically and it's the first time I've heard it. Let me check... This song was released in March. Is the creator a fan of yours? How can he compare you to Jiang Dongyuan?"
"Of course I can't compare to my seniors. Anyway, I just need to be more handsome than you... Then this lyrics didn't cause any discussion?" Chi Jingyuan blinked and was a little puzzled. This was also the first time he listened to this seriously. song.
"..." Wu Shixun curled his lips first, then spread his hands and said nothing, but the meaning was clearly expressed.
Any more reasons? Of course it’s because of the lake...
Chi Jingyuan also nodded in understanding, still smiling and enjoying the performance of this girl group, but some thoughts ignited in his heart.
It sounds really interesting to write real people's names into the lyrics.
…………
The four-hour performance was indeed too long. Twenty or thirty groups of artists came up and down to perform on the stage one after another.
Chi Jingyuan took a rough look at it and found that many groups that were not very popular or well-known at all were actually quite good. Although the singing skills could not be heard because the mic was half on or not on, and the songs were not very good. But the stage effect was shown. The dances of some boy groups even looked neater than EXO's. It was obvious that they had spent a lot of effort practicing.
It's a pity that the popularity is very average, there are not many fans, and some of the group's names, Chi Jingyuan, have not even been heard of.
Of course, most of these groups are slightly inferior in appearance. Even if they wear exquisite and heavy makeup, their appearance level can only be said to be average, and the members do not have any charm that impresses people at a glance.
Just very ordinary.
Even being an idol is really not that simple. You must have at least one outstanding feature in terms of personality, appearance, and strength. Being ordinary is really a very fatal point.
Of course, it has a lot to do with the company's operations. I can only say that the competition in the island music industry is still too fierce.
As time gradually passed, the sky had already darkened. Most of the artists had already performed, and only a few of the most popular groups for the finale had not yet appeared.
Chi Jingyuan raised his hand and exhaled, stretched slightly, and looked left and right at the same time.
The lounge was overcrowded. The assistants and the idols who had finished the performance were walking around in a hurry, and the various voices gathered together to make it extremely lively.
All kinds of perfume smells come together, and the smell that should be enjoyable is now slightly pungent because it is too strong. At this time, many people are not disgusted with it, but feel nostalgic for this contradictory feeling.
At a glance, you can see all kinds of long legs walking around. If you stop for a moment, you will be able to appreciate the pleasing whiteness and slenderness. The healthy shorts and exquisite makeup make everyone feel at home in close contact. It looked full of charm. The noisy air outside and the never-ending cheers heated up the atmosphere in the room. People inside could not help but feel their body temperature rise and become more thoughtful.
It’s no wonder that idols interact with each other so much. In this kind of situation and atmosphere, it’s really easy to get to know each other.
Chi Jingyuan felt several vague eyes looking at him from time to time, and sighed secretly in his heart.
Especially after he finished his styling in the afternoon and dyed the smoky gray hair in the music video once, this feeling became even stronger.
"xo, ready!"
At this moment, a staff member came in and shouted to make an announcement. The nine exo people who were already sitting numb stood up in response and followed him out.
…
In a nearby lounge, several acquaintances of the girl group members were gathering together to chat and gossip. After a few hours, they were all tired of watching and no longer paid attention to the stage in front of them.
"Ahhhh..."
Just as they were talking, a fierce scream suddenly came. The sound was still so clear after passing through several layers of walls, directly interrupting several people's words.
Although the fans were very enthusiastic tonight and their support never stopped, the noise this time was obviously much louder than before, and it could be heard clearly even in the lounge.
"What's going on? It's so loud all of a sudden?"
"Whose turn is it to perform on stage?"
"It should be those boy bands coming on stage. This support... I guess it's xo." As they said that, they usually turned their attention to the monitor in the middle of the room. When they saw those familiar faces on the screen, they felt... It became clear immediately.
And listening to the overwhelming voice of support, I couldn't help but feel a strong sense of envy and yearning in my heart.
Today EXO did not perform this month's new song. The company chose "Call Me Baby" as the first stage. The prelude of this popular song that swept the month immediately ignited the atmosphere in the venue. The long-awaited The fans shouted wildly.
Chi Jingyuan's head was a little dazed by the sound waves. The cheers were so loud that they seemed to penetrate the clouds and rocks. Even with earphones, he could hear them clearly, and his eardrums were slightly tingling.
He stood on the stage and looked forward. The venue of nearly 70,000 people was almost full, with only a few areas left open. Silver light rods and light signs illuminated the entire night sky as if it were daytime.
Especially the stands on the third floor. This is a place specially allocated by the organizer to the fans of the artists present today. There are also name signs of each group posted on the edge of the building.
Logically speaking, the support area on the third floor should be colorful, with various combinations of support lights vying to meet, but at a glance, the entire third floor stand is filled with EXO's support color 'Cosmic Latte'. With silvery white lights, this place belonging to all groups has obviously been completely occupied by Ellie.
A rough estimate shows that seven-tenths of the entire layer are EXO's cheering colors, and two layers are Shinee's lake blue light, while fans of other groups divide the remaining part.
In other places in the stadium, silver-white support lights can be seen everywhere. Looking at the 50,000 to 60,000 people in the entire stadium, almost half of them are here for EXO. It is no wonder that the entire stadium immediately boiled after they appeared on the stage.
What are the highlights of the previous girl groups? These Ellies have really been waiting for a long time.
The sound was deafening and almost never stopped. It was obviously a platter concert, but under the sea of stars made up of countless silver lights, it was just like EXO's solo concert. At a glance, it was all about his name and support. Such shocking support also made me Chi Jingyuan and other members couldn't help but feel excited, and they couldn't help but dance much harder.
At the same time, I also felt a little flattered. After "Call Me Baby" ended, everyone bowed together to express their gratitude.
"The next song is, "Roaring Filial Piety."
With Jin Junmian's excited shout, the excitement in the field increased to a higher level again.
…
Li Zaiyong was driving a taxi on Jinshan Road. He didn't get a passenger for a while, which made him a little idle and a little anxious.
Just when he was waiting for the red light and was a little bored, suddenly an overwhelming sound came from the distance.
The sound was like thunder, reverberating through the clouds. As soon as he heard it, he knew that only countless people shouting in unison could create such a huge sound. The huge sound penetrated the air and walls, and also penetrated the car door and poured directly into his ears, making him His head was confused for a moment.
The sound waves that resounded through the night sky seemed to echo even on the empty street. The volume was so loud that even the ground seemed to be shaking faintly. Li Zaiyong's hand holding the steering wheel slipped due to surprise and shaking, and his whole body was shaken. I shuddered with fright.
"what happened?"
"What's going on? Is there a war? Is there a fight from the north?"
He trembled all over and gripped the steering wheel again. Then, while talking to himself, he looked towards the direction of the sound coming from the window with a look of panic on his face.
Some vehicles nearby were also obviously startled, and the sound of their horns sounded one after another, which seemed to reflect their uneasiness.
And a few seconds later, another roaring chorus came again, accompanied by a somewhat familiar melody:
"I eu-reu-re eu-reu-reong you."
"I eu-reu-re eu-reu-reong you."
The song "Roaring Filial Piety" sung by tens of thousands of people was particularly clear in the night sky, and it also announced the source of the huge sound just now.
After hearing this, Li Zaiyong was stunned. After a while, he suddenly slapped the steering wheel hard, and an unpleasant whistle sounded. He turned his head and looked in the direction of the World Cup Arena, and cursed fiercely:
"Axi..."
…
The annual dream concert ended with the final chorus of farewell songs by all the performers on stage. The evening stage also aroused a lot of discussion. After all, nearly 30 groups of artists participated in the performance, and so many fans were in high spirits. Discussions about one's own idol's stage and makeup are also very popular.
But early the next morning, the top search term in the entertainment section was exo cheering#
After seeing this hot search, many people couldn't help but become interested and click on it.
The audience at yesterday's performance was very enthusiastic, and the screams never stopped from beginning to end. But after EXO came on stage, all the fans burst out with the power and enthusiasm that had been brewing for a long time, and the cheers were so loud that it was unimaginable.
Many passers-by who appeared near the stadium during those ten minutes also left comments online to give their own accounts. Many people said they were startled by the huge sound at that time, and almost sat down on the ground until they heard clearly. Only later did I find out that she was actually a supporter at a concert, and she was still singing "Pao Xiao".
"The sound was really too loud. I have gone to many concerts and this one was the most shocking. I am two streets away from the World Cup stadium. When I heard it, I felt like the ground was shaking. .”
"Totally shocked! It was the first time I knew that the voice of the support could be so scary... I was quite scared at first, but then I understood after I heard it was "Pao Xiao", and I even sang a few lines along with it."
"These fans must be sick. Have they never listened to the music or seen the people before? They shouted so loudly that the steering wheel of my car shook when I was driving, and I almost had an accident."
Amid the discussion, a video uploaded to YouTube last night was also discovered. It was recorded by a resident living in a community near the World Cup stadium.
The video is very simple. He filmed the direction of the stadium from his home. The key point is that he lives two streets away from the stadium. However, in the video, the huge cheers are still clearly visible even though he is so far away. It really comes from his home. The glass seemed to be shaking slightly, which sounded very shocking.
At the same time, from the angle of his video shooting, he could also see the audience on the top floor of the stadium. The actions of countless people waving silver-white fluorescent sticks in order also left a deep impression on people.
Because of this hot search and the interest of passers-by, the video attracted a lot of clicks and views after it was posted. The mutual support made the popularity of this entry even higher. After watching it, I felt an indescribable shock. born.
"Ah jinjia, is this scene of support real? Is it so exaggerated?"
"I watched the whole live broadcast yesterday. During the stage of "Pao Xiao", the Obamas became exo-l's backup dancers throughout the whole process. The director's camera was always showing the audience, which made me laugh to death... and after the sound was silenced, I could feel the support. The sound was so loud, I didn’t expect the real situation to be so shocking.”
"I can only say that they are worthy of being exo. The goddesses Airi are so amazing."
"It's only EXO that can turn a dream concert, a super-large performance with dozens of groups of artists, into your own private concert, right?"
】
"I can only say that our bigbang should be able to do it too."
"Indeed, police cars have to be parked next to BigBang's concerts, for fear that those people will be addicted to alcohol, which will make it easier for the police to dispatch the scene."
"Girls' Generation should be the same. Their "I Got a Boy" stage also has a very famous support video."
"Girls' Generation has fallen into such decline last year, so why don't the eight obasans from Bensan stop coming out to compete with the younger generation?"
Amid different opinions, the support scene at this dream concert has become another famous scene that people talk about. Some fans and busybodies directly named this support as the top model of fan support in Peninsula. This is a landmark scene of fans cheering for the idol group.
Not to mention the many shows off and arrogance of Ari on the Internet, other artists and fans could not help but feel envy, jealousy and displeasure after seeing it. EXO participated in the Lotte family concert stage the next day. Playing two large-scale concerts in a row is really exhausting both physically and mentally.
The scene of the Lotte Family concert was not as big as yesterday's family concert. Although Jamsil Stadium has a larger capacity, which is usually close to 70,000 and can reach 100,000 when fully loaded, this time the Lotte Family concert mainly received overseas audiences. , and it was held for three consecutive days, so the attendance rate was far inferior to yesterday’s performance.
After finishing the performance, they prepared for this comeback and album. At noon on the 25th, SM officially released the first version of the promotional poster for EXO's fourth single album "L", and also revealed the title song title:
"boy with luv"
