After changing their clothes, several members appeared on the stage, and the fast-paced drum beat that was completely different from the style of "Spring Day" sounded rapidly. Park Chanyeol, who was wearing an orange coat, jumped forward and shouted in unison with several others: "1, 2, 3, Let's Go!".
Led by the powerful drum accompaniment and the members who jumped up and down on the stage as soon as they appeared on the stage and couldn't even walk properly when they were high, Asia, who had just been immersed in the slightly touching atmosphere of "Spring Day" The expo hall suddenly became agitated. Even though many people had never heard this song, their bodies could not help but follow the melody, and those on the stage began to sway, swaying and singing a few lines in their mouths. .
Because the lyrics are so simple.
"Jump, jump, jump, jump, we are..."
"EXO!"
After EXO finished their jump, all the fans below immediately shouted in unison, 'EXO! ', the two parties cooperated very well, and the soaring enthusiasm and decibels directly covered up the acoustic accompaniment.
This song "drop that" is a song included in their upcoming winter special. It has not been officially released yet. It was only performed during the second concert tour and has not been widely publicized. It appeared on TV for the first time today. The show was on MAMA's stage. This kind of nightclub disco-style song to heat up the atmosphere seemed to have a really good effect, and the whole audience got excited.
While Park Chanyeol and Kim Jong-in were rapping at the top of their lungs, Chi Kyung-won and Oh Se-hun, who had finished their performance of "Spring Day", wandered towards the artist seats.
At this moment, except for FX, all the artist seats are juniors, including red velvet, twice, GOT7 and monster
At this time, all the idols in the artist booth had also stood up. Whether it was FX, red velvet in the front row, or twice standing in the back row, they all stood up and swayed along with the song while waving their hands, as if for The seniors enthusiastically support me.
This time they sang a different version of "drop that" than in the concert. Chi Jingyuan didn't have many parts. After he came to the artist booth, he stood in front of the right side of the first row, shaking his head from time to time. After harmonizing with each other until it reached the climax, the camera panned over and showed Chi Jingyuan and the artist's side reacting.
Chi Jingyuan, on the other hand, smiled and gave a high-five to Amber and Luna who were jumping around next to him. He walked past them without stopping, then walked back, looking at him with his eyes bent, his little body in front of them. Pei Zhuhyun, who was swaying back and forth, glanced at each other, and each could see the smile in each other's eyes. Chi Jingyuan took the opportunity to give her a high-five, and then gave each other a high-five with each of the other four members of red velvet behind, Let the audience and fans below cheer and scream wave after wave.
He raised his head and glanced at the nine members of Twice who were standing in the back row of the artist seats, wearing colored hair and also enthusiastically cheering. Saka Minatozaki, who had bright pink hair, was very conspicuous. She tilted her head and raised her right hand high to shake. Just like a primary school student trying to answer the teacher's questions.
Although Najing Minami was also shaking her hands in support, her movements looked weird and she always felt a little uncoordinated.
Chi Jingyuan smiled and glanced at it without looking at it. After all, he was not in the same company. He turned around and stood in front of red velvet and started shaking. Then the camera cut to Wu Shixun. He ran to got7 and directly He hugged Jackson very familiarly, and the two of them sang together.
"Hurry up and raise your hands over your head! Hurry up and raise your hands!"
"I say EX, You say O!"
"EX!"
"O!"
"EX!
"O!"
At this point, the nine members of EXO sang together and interacted with fans. The whole place was filled with the sound of 'EX, O', 'EX, O'. The sound was soaring through the sky, and it made my ears feel a little uncomfortable.
This scene of tens of thousands of people chanting in unison is really amazing. In many cases, you can't feel it when watching the live broadcast, because most TV stations will perform some official silence during the broadcast for stage effects and other reasons.
At this time, only at the scene can you feel the heart-breaking shock and emotion firsthand.
It was Chi Jingyuan's turn to perform the treble relay part soon. He walked forward from the artist's seat and prepared to go to the edge of the stage to interact with the audience. But before he had taken two steps, he suddenly felt a stinging pain in his ears. The same feeling made him gently shake. He frowned.
His ears suddenly leaked a little bit.
However, he has encountered this kind of small situation many times since his debut, and he didn't panic too much. He quickly calmed down, quickly dispersed his brows, blinked his eyes with a smile, tilted his head left and right without leaving any trace, and moved his sides. He took off his earphones and hung them on his shoulders, then listened carefully to the music and counted the beats silently. Soon within five seconds, his part came, and he directly picked up the microphone and started singing without any delay.
Behind Chi Jingyuan, many people in the artist seats were either looking directly at him, or pretending to look aside but looking at his back without leaving any trace. Many people also noticed the little action of picking off the earphones, and immediately Just realized something was wrong.
But the stage had no impact whatsoever.
After Do Kyung-soo's high note ended, Chi Kyung-won immediately picked up the song, lowered his head slightly, raised the key, and threw the second high note into the microphone: "We looked at each other."
"Like the sun and the moon."
"Me and you..."
The last note was very long, and he seemed to finish the part easily and naturally. The lack of hearing loss didn't seem to have any impact on him. When the camera came over, he still smiled and grinned at The camera smiled.
Screams started.
Immediately after him, it was Kim Jong Dae’s turn to sing the third high note.
Apart from the meaningless repetition of the lyrics before, this treble relay is actually the most essential and handsome part of the song "drop that".
Do Kyung-soo started, Ji Kyung-won rose to key, and at the end Kim Jong-dae's shocking long high note made the entire audience, including other idols, stare wide-eyed and frightened.
What came back immediately was the amazing enthusiasm that directly raised the temperature of the venue.
There is another version of this song. The last high-pitched part was sung by Chi Jingyuan. It was that version that was performed for the first time in the previous concert. However, this version was not performed this time, and Chi Jingyuan felt that this high-pitched part was It hurts my throat quite a bit.
The song "drop that" really made the whole audience get excited, dance and get excited, bringing the atmosphere of MAMA from the beginning to the present to a climax.
When "drop that" came to an end, all EXO members consciously moved towards the sub-stage in the middle. When the music of "drop that" ended, they were already in position. In just three seconds, the words of "boy with luv" The sound source sounded, and EXO started the last stage performance without any rest or interruption.
Needless to say, the popularity of "boy with luv" is natural. If "drop that" relies on the style and artist's enthusiasm and interaction to heat up the atmosphere, as soon as the music of "boy with luv" comes out, the audience starts to range. The sexual sing-alongs and choruses, from the beginning to the end, especially the few lines of the chorus 'oh mymymy~', even many .Ps who dislike EXO were affected by the fiery atmosphere and couldn't help but sing along. , the chorus soared into the sky, reaching almost from AsiaWorld-Expo to the airport.
"oh my my my~~"
"oh my my my~~"
"Than a boy~"
“Than a boy with luv~”
The performance of four and a half songs and more than fifteen minutes finally came to an end. Chi Jingyuan, who was sweating profusely and panting, bowed downwards with the other members to thank him, and left the stage amidst the screams. This is the end of EXO's stage that has been anticipated for many days in this MAMA.
The men and women in the artist's seat also sat down and applauded the seniors who were taking their leave. Some people even looked left and right and exchanged glances. Although they had smiles on their faces, they were sighing and praising the excellence of the stage just now. Besides, there are many other emotions.
Artists such as idol Xi, who are mostly newcomers, have truly experienced the substantive popularity that is as popular as the TOP group.
"Hey, hey, hey Yigu..."
Many EXO members who walked off the stage and came backstage were already exhausted. As soon as the performance came on, they wanted to find a place to collapse. The oncoming assistant immediately went up to help some of the members who were unsteady, and at the same time handed over the preparations. Good mineral water.
"The stage is very good, there are almost no mistakes, but what's wrong with your hearing loss, Jingyuan..." The manager's face glowed red, he smiled and praised a few words, and then immediately made another move without waiting for Chi Jingyuan's reply. He waved and added: "Forget it, let's talk about it later. Hurry back to the waiting room and take a rest..."
At the end of EXO's performance, the middle part of MAMA came to an end. After a break, the lower part started again. Shinee's hit song "View" also brought a new feeling to the audience, but at this time, Chi Jingyuan was already sitting After taking a break in the waiting room, EXO changed a few people and went to the artist booth for reaction.
Although BigBang left EXO's stage early, they are seniors after all. It would seem a little deliberate if no one from EXO went to BigBang's stage.
Apart from Airy, the most present tonight was .P, and BigBang’s stage did not disappoint. Their popularity is very high, and the excitement and screams brought by the stage were no worse than those of XO before. Even more so, YG's song style is really suitable for setting the atmosphere during live performances.
After the Big Bang stage ended, Chi Jingyuan and the others also came to the artist booth, ready to receive the 'Best Group' award.
The 'Best Group' award is one of the most valuable awards besides the last three awards. Even for many fans, the importance of this award is slightly less important than the awards. 'Song of the Year' is still a little more important.
The best girl group went to Girls' Generation. Seniors like SNSD can still sing and dance on stage to win such a heavyweight award in their eighth year of debut. It is indeed a treasure that never grows old. Obviously, the gas tank is not dry yet.
At the same time, it is also a compliment and proof for their return this year. No matter how good their stamina is, they still stand out in the summer girl group battle and defend their status as the top girl group.
Although the sales volume of the group has not exceeded that of Kim Taeyeon's solo.
Needless to say, the best boy group is EXO.
Although this award is very important, it is already approaching the awarding of the last three awards, and everyone's attention has been attracted, so they did not say too much, but Jin Junmian still thanked him in a circle. people.
The final stage is FX's "4walls" and a collaboration stage between the British group Pet Shop Boys and FX.
The latter's collaboration stage, Ji Kyung-won, didn't feel like it, and the costumes were weird, but the stage of FX's "4walls" was really amazing. The professional ability of the cody who styled Jung Soo-jung made JYP's cody fall into pieces in seconds. .
After watching the final stage, it was finally time for the highlight of the night, the three awards.
Before the presenter took the stage, a VCR was played, which edited clips of all MAMA awards from 2009 to last year in 2014, with BGM, narration, and cheers from fans.
"G-Dragon! 2NE1! 2PM!"
"2NE1! MissA!"
"Girls' Generation!" 2NE1! super junior…”
G-Dragon is worthy of being a TOP idol. In addition to winning a grand award as a Big Bang member, he also won two major awards as a solo artist.
And behind the VCR, EXO's name appeared in everyone's ears for the first time.
"XO!"
On the big screen, the classic shot of Ji Kyung-won from MAMA in 2013 when XO won the grand prize for the first time and fired lightly at the camera reappeared, causing fans to be unable to contain their excitement. Suits also evoke memories for many people.
As today's top groups take to the stage, their names appear more and more frequently.
"EXO!"
"XO!"
The screen finally freezes with the silhouette of EXO walking on stage during last year's awards ceremony, and then gives the suspense of this year's 2015 Grand Awards.
This VCR clip was very well edited. Not only the fans at the scene, but also the vast majority of idols who had never touched the Grand Award trophy at the artist's table were also excited to watch it. While their emotions were surging, they couldn't help but cast their gaze towards Those seniors sitting in the first row who had just appeared on the VCR, especially EXO whose names appeared consecutively at the end.
"The shooting scene of Jingyuan was really touching..." Sun Shengwan put it in Bae Zhuhyun's ear and praised her sincerely. Although they were close friends, she felt like she was being fired when she saw that scene just now. One shot.
In fact, she is not the only one. The classic shot that once became a hot search appeared again on the big screen, and in this very meaningful and shocking VCR, many people felt similar to Son Seung-wan.
"Um……"
Bae Zhuhyun didn't shy away and nodded in agreement. Then, seeing that the camera was not pointed at this side, she pulled Son Seungwan and whispered to each other.
For the first Grand Award, the presenter for Song of the Year, actor Kong Hyo Jin, quickly walked to the stage in the narration. After saying a few words, he began to prepare for the award.
The song of the year, which is awarded first, may have a slightly lighter weight in the Grand Awards, but it is very crucial at this time, because the album of the year is 100% EXO's. The last artist of the year is still in suspense, but Big Bang's confidence is actually not very high. It's enough, so this song of the year is the grand award that they have the best chance of winning, and its importance suddenly becomes much higher.
It stands to reason that BigBang, as seniors, has won a lot of awards. In fact, they no longer value awards as much, but this is a normal situation, and this year was their extremely ambitious comeback, but they lost in a head-on collision. After joining the junior boy band, there are many celebrities who have lost their fans, and fans have also been at a disadvantage in various competitions and quarrels with Aire. They have actually seen these situations, and many members are actually quite angry.
This time the MAMA awards ceremony is another head-to-head competition on the same stage. It would be really unreasonable if they were still so miserably beaten by their juniors and couldn't even win a big award.
Soon Kong Hyo Jin announced the winner, and as expected, the song of the year went to Big Bang's "bangbangbang"
This song is really great. It exploded when it was released. Although the reviews at the time were not very good, time has proved everything. The extremely strong stamina pushed this song directly to the top of Melon's annual chart.
In fact, "Boy with Luv" has great stamina and is also at the top of the annual list. There is no problem in winning Song of the Year. However, YG has sent so many of its artists to support MAMA this time, which has brought a lot of attention to the organizers. There must be some repayment. There is no nepotism between them and SM. It is impossible for them to take such good care of EXO and directly turn YG into a clown.
And in terms of performance, BigBang should also win an award this year. Although they have never beaten Chi Jingyuan and the others, BigBang's performance is not bad, but very good. For a whole year, the two boy groups EXO and BigBang have completely broken up, and All the idols behind have a clear distance.
Seeing Choi Seung-hyun, who seemed a little excited as he walked up to the stage to receive the award, Chi Kyung-won kept smiling and applauded gently.
It is worth mentioning that Taeyeon's "I" was also selected as a candidate for song of the year, which is a great encouragement and proof.
After Gong Hyo Jin left the stage, Lee Jung Jae and Han Hyo Joo came on stage hand in hand and began to present the 'Album of the Year' award.
There is no suspense in this award, which is mainly based on album sales. This year, "EXO-L" in the peninsula music industry has swept through the physical sales of four single albums, occupying a place in the entire market, creating countless A record, the winner did not do what he wanted at all.
Sure enough, EXO's name was soon shouted out loudly by Han Hyo-joo. EXO, who had already been mentally prepared, jumped up and walked quickly onto the stage with the blessings and congratulations of the juniors around them.
This speech said a lot. After all, XO themselves didn’t know whether they would win the last Artist of the Year award, so they treated Album of the Year as the last award. Amid the cheers of fans, many members expressed their opinions. After some speeches and a feeling of emotion, I returned to the artist's seat with the trophy.
After a period of commotion, the last and most important award, Artist of the Year, arrived, and the presenter was also a heavyweight. Fa Ge, a local from Hong Kong Island, staggered out with a smile on his face amidst the cheers of the audience.
Although he looks a little old, his aura is incredible. Even if the wrinkles on his face are etched, he still looks very charming.
After chatting with the audience in Cantonese, Fa Ge pointed to the screen and was about to start awarding awards: "Let's first take a look at the list of nominees for this year's Artist of the Year."
The VCR on the big screen also started playing.
"bigbang."
"EXO."
""
"Shinee."
"Girls' Generation."
There was no group of artists, so the people below cheered once, but it was obvious that the next three groups were running with them, and there was no hope in front of the two groups in front.
At this time, both EXO and BigBang in the artist booth were already nervous. The winner of this award would actually determine the outcome of today's competition. Many members of XO looked a little nervous looking at the stage with their lips pursed, while BigBang was holding their breath and concentrating. Choi Shenghyun He clenched his fist in his right hand and leaned forward slightly, his head thrust forward, and his posture was somewhat unmanageable.
"2015 MAMA, UnionPay, Artist of the Year, the winner is..."
Amidst the screams below, Fa Ge did not show off, he looked directly at the script and announced: "XO!"
"Ahhhh..."
The whole audience cheered, EXO laughed with relief, stood up and saluted to the side. Red Velet and FX in the back row immediately stood up, waving and applauding. Jin Yelin smiled very beautifully, standing there jumping up and down, watching I felt very happy for my senior brother.
After a brief moment of stiffness, BigBang also stood up and clapped and blessed. G-Dragon and Taeyang didn't seem to be reluctant, they looked very relieved. These two artists who have already won awards as solo artists seemed to be really excited about the awards. Relatively bearish.
However, Chi Jingyuan, who had been looking at the stage carefully, didn't notice that Cui Shengxuan's right fist was slightly white when he clenched it. He didn't know where to throw the cane he was holding in his hand when he went on stage to receive the award for the sake of a concave shape.
After the exciting BGM, the music of "Boy with Luv" and "Call Me Baby" played alternately. Chi Jingyuan followed the team, stepping on the drums of the music and the beat of all the Aili chorus, and walked lightly to the center of the stage. , found a position on the far left and stood.
EXO now looks much more excited to win Artist of the Year than it did to win Album of the Year just now. After all, one is expected and the other is unexpected.
"Thank you to Teacher Lee Soo Man and the SM family, and to the many people who helped us to shine. Thank you very much, and everyone in EXO-L, I love you..."
Jin Junmian deserves to be the captain. This is the fifth or sixth time he has given his speech at MAMA tonight. He can still speak so passionately and sincerely. Every time he speaks it is like winning the award for the first time. Same.
The other members were also very excited, and everyone expressed their feelings into the microphone.
"Thank you for the love you gave us. We are really happy now..."
"Thanks to everyone, I have had a very happy year this year..."
"EXO-Ls who love us, support us, and give us infinite strength, I will love you even if they are broken into pieces." This is what Byun Baekhyun said, and only he can say such unsparing words.
"Jingyuan, come here, let's talk..." At the end, everyone said it. Park Chanyeol and Kim Junmyeon waved to Ji Jingyuan, who had been standing next to him smiling. Over there, Oh Sehun and Do Kyungsoo tried their best to give them He pulled over.
Chi Jingyuan didn't resist. He was pushed by the two people and stood in front of the microphone in the middle of the stage. He looked up and glanced at the dark crowd of fans and the ubiquitous Ali sticks, and burst into laughter.
"Ahhhh..."
The scream came to mind immediately.
"Well..." I had already thanked him when I received the award. At this time, Chi Jingyuan thought for a moment, pursed his lips and said, "I said it when I received the award at MAMA last year, and I want to continue this year. stand right here……"
"Ahhh..." Before he could finish this sentence, many fans burst into louder cheers. Some fans who had also arrived at the scene last year couldn't help but feel a little moved when they heard Chi Jingyuan's words. Some people directly wiped Eyes opened.
After last year's ups and downs, this year's EXO has broken the shackles and reached its peak.
"I am able to do all this because of the support of the fans. Really, thank you very much..." Chi Jingyuan said very seriously, paused amidst the cheers, and smiled again: "As for next year …”
"Ahh..."
"Haha, we will work hard."
He didn't say much. After saying the last sentence and giving a gentle salute, he was about to retreat, but Park Chanyeol stopped him and pointed at the microphone: "Don't leave, Chinese, Japanese..."
Oh, yes, I am in charge of language.
"Well, thank you very much to all fans for supporting EXO..."
Chi Jingyuan immediately remembered his mission and switched to Chinese to express his gratitude to the fans. In the increasingly heated atmosphere at the scene, he also said a few words in Cantonese, which he had learned specially, and won a burst of cheers.
"じゃあ、EXOを応 aidしてくれたすべてのファンにThank youします..." Then he switched to Japanese very skillfully and thanked him in all the languages he knew.
Various languages are constantly switched between fluent and unaccented. Many people know as soon as they hear it that he did not just learn it for the award ceremony, but that he really knows how to speak this language.
"Oh, it's really amazing. Senior Yuan's foreign language is so fluent..." Kim Dahyun in the waiting room couldn't help but sigh when she saw this scene. She turned her head and looked at the people next to her who were immersed in watching the live broadcast on the monitor. A few people from Mingjing Nan smiled and asked: "Are there any of us who are responsible for this kind of language?"
"No? There are not many idols of Yuan's level." Yu Dingyan waved her hands and denied it directly, but then she smiled and touched the waist of Zhou Ziyu who was watching the live broadcast next to her: "But we have locals. , just ask them to say no instead..."
"Too……"
Our foreign language is not up to standard, but we have many people.
"But if it's not an important award like the Grand Prize, it's not appropriate to say so much..." But Park Jihyo interrupted from time to time, and his tone was not very positive.
"Grand prize..." A group of rookies who had just debuted for two months looked at the brilliant Ji Jingyuan and EXO on the monitor, and listened to the cheers that still shook their eardrums even though they were separated by several walls. They felt a little negative. , and sighed with some expectation.
On the other hand, after winning the final Artist of the Year, this year's MAMA has also come to an end. Except for a few groups, all the artists have left the stage. Psy, who appeared at the end, announced the first stage of the new song "Daddy" , sang his iconic song "Gangnam Style" again, and eventually ribbons rained down from the ceiling. In 2015, this MAMA party was hailed as the most peak in history, and also heralded Kpop reaching a new height. The show officially came to an end in the classic shot of EXO, PSY, BigBang, and Fa Ge performing a horse-riding dance in the artist's seat.
