EXO's rehearsal went very smoothly without any problems.
However, even if they made some mistakes or fell asleep like Twice and Minatozaki Saka just now, they would not be caught by the show PD like them.
Regardless of company or personal reasons, the gap in treatment between the top group and the rookie group is quite obvious.
After ten minutes of rehearsal, when Chi Jingyuan came back with the team, Twice had already disappeared. When they returned to the lounge, they met a few people from AOA backstage. Several people from EXO were familiar with them. Stopped and chatted for a few more words.
"Seolhyunxi didn't come today?" Park Chanyeol glanced twice and saw no one.
"No, hehe..."
AOA only had 6 people come today, and Kim Seolhyun didn't come again. She has become more and more popular recently, which is a bit abnormal. She has a lot of personal resources and schedules, and she has been absent from many group activities of the group. .
With Kim Seol Hyun's recent exposure, it feels like her schedule and income alone are more than the entire group combined. It feels like she already looks a bit like Bae Suzy's standout figure in MissA.
Speaking of which, a few days ago, Kim Seol Hyun had some controversy, related to EXO.
In the Xman special episode of "Running Man" at the beginning of the month, I don't know what the program team thought about it. When introducing the guest Kim Seol-hyun, the MC and the narrator had a line in the rainbow fart in order to highlight how popular she is now. It was 'Kpop in 2015 was the year of Kim Seol-hyun', and this sentence became controversial immediately after it was broadcast, causing dissatisfaction among many people.
The Kpop music industry is very lively this year, with almost all major groups returning, which can be regarded as the pinnacle of Kpop in recent years. But if you have to say something from some representative figures that is worthy of the phrase '2015 is theirs', as long as they are more active fans and viewers in the industry, they will definitely only say it is EXO. If you want to go down the list It’s actually okay to say it’s Big Bang.
But it will definitely not be AOA and Kim Seol Hyun’s turn.
Needless to say, the fans were unhappy as soon as these words came out. What’s interesting is that the most dissatisfied people were actually many passers-by. Many people were already a little dissatisfied with seeing Kim Seol-hyun everywhere and the words that praised her every day. I got impatient and commented on the show one after another:
"Not to mention Kim Seol-hyun, even AOA can't be compared with EXO and Big Bang."
"How much did you charge to flatter her like this? Does it matter?"
"She's really the national hype girl."
Although she is indeed very popular recently, it is obvious that the public's favorable impression of Kim Seol-hyun is not worthy of her popularity. Some people even angrily slapped the title of 'National Hype Girl' on her head. .
Being angry and scolding at the same time is really strange.
…………
In the busy preparations where shouting and cursing could still be heard from time to time backstage and in the studio, it soon came time for the evening show, and the live broadcast of the last Christmas special of "Music Bank" in 2015 officially began.
The audience was excited as soon as the show started. The two MCs, Ji Kyung Won and Bae Zhu Hyun, held hands and turned their backs to the camera. When the cheers and music played, the two of them saluted each other, and then turned around to start. This is a special stage.
"Jingle bell~Jingle bell..."
Both of them are dressed in red and white Christmas clothes. Ji Jingyuan is wearing a bright red and white low-neck sweater with a swaying deer antler on his head, while Bae Zhuhyun is wearing a pure white sweater and a plaid hip skirt. , with a bright red hat on his head, which made him look petite. The two of them matched very harmoniously, looking very festive and Christmassy.
Seeing this combination, many viewers' eyes lit up.
The song is a modified version of "Jingle Bell" that everyone is familiar with, and anyone can hum along with it. The choreography is also very simple, just a few simple movements of the hands and feet, without any difficulty, and it looks like gymnastics in advertisements.
But the focus of the stage is of course not the choreography, but the two people performing and their natural understanding and eye-catching interaction.
"Jingle bell~Jingle bell..."
Chi Jingyuan and Pei Zhuxuan moved synchronously, twisting left and right, even pinching the waist and bending the legs. Chi Jingyuan gently put his hand on her shoulder, and the two of them leaned in the middle at the same time. Together, they closed their eyes and shook their heads gently while singing the chorus with a beautiful smile.
"Ahhhh..."
Then they took a step back in tacit understanding, and both turned to face each other and looked into each other's eyes at the same time, raised the other hand that was not shaking hands, bent slightly and shook it slightly, and gestured to each other with scissors in their eyes. The hand strokes back and forth.
Seeing Bae Zhuhyun making scissor hand gestures and blinking her eyes, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but burst into laughter. His mouth that was originally smiling on a business stage suddenly suppressed it and tried hard not to laugh out, and his eyes became light. Narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Ahh..."
Someone in the audience noticed this scene and screamed with great excitement.
At the end, the two people naturally held their hands together and walked a few steps back and forth like performing a Yangko dance. Then they held hands and raised their hands. Bae Zhuhyun used the held hands as a fulcrum to spin a few circles in place like a ballet. Then the two of them consciously got closer, and at the end of the accompaniment, they came together and waved to the camera to make the Ending.
"Ahh..."
For this simple stage and dance, the audience was extremely enthusiastic, and the cheers never stopped. Within a few seconds of the two-minute stage, screams could erupt that could drown out the audio accompaniment. The sound brought the entire show's atmosphere to a climax right at the beginning.
After such a long time, Yinyin CP has become deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Any interaction in front of the camera will make the audience laugh and knock non-stop.
Even fans of Ellie and Ledbebe, after more than half a year of blows and torture, found that all kinds of attacks and insults had no effect other than venting, some fans could only change their stance and join in the fight. This pair of MC.
Many people actually find it quite sweet even though they kowtow...
Ji Kyung Won and Bae Joo Hyun are the real reasons for the ridiculously high ratings of "Music Bank".
"The evolved Kpop, the center of the Korean wave, everyone watches it together, live broadcast, Music Bank!"
"Because today is Christmas, Irene xi and I have prepared a happy special stage and opened the door to "Music Bank" today." After the stage ended, the two MCs stood side by side in front of the interview stage in red and white Christmas costumes. Started to host the opening with a smile.
The fans at the scene had not yet calmed down from the excitement on stage, and were still shouting and screaming excitedly, covering up his voice.
"Including Irene xi, the singers are really amazing. As expected, Zzang!" Chi Jingyuan smiled and extended his thumb.
"After watching today's stage, I feel that Yuan Xi is really excellent!" Pei Zhuxuan looked at it, raised her hands and clasped her fingers, bent her eyes and smiled beautifully, and praised: "Good singing, good acting. , Yuan Xi is the weak one, Zzang!"
Chi Jingyuan was not embarrassed at all after being so blown away. After taking the order, he turned around and stared into Pei Zhuxuan's eyes, pretending to be extremely serious and expectant and asked: "Is this the Christmas gift Irene xi gave me today? "
Pei Zhuxuan seemed a little embarrassed to be looked at. She avoided her eyes and turned away, but she was holding back a smile: "Ani, no!"
"Ahh..." came the scream.
"...Then let's officially introduce the singers who shined in "Music Bank" today!" Chi Jingyuan pretended to be a little disappointed, and the two of them soon laughed. Facing the camera, they began to speak the host words: "Looking for Gray" The girl’s pretty boy band CNBLUE!”
"2015, the highest idol, EXO!"
"When it comes to charm, it's infinite! When it comes to purity, it's Apink! When it comes to refreshing, red velvet is unrivaled!"
"VIXX, EXID, GOT7 and other hot newcomers in 2015 are all coming back with upgraded charms...and twice, lovelyz, Gfriend...please look forward to it!"
"Then let's introduce the first stage first..."
Chi Jingyuan took over the conversation and looked at the camera to announce: "Lovely naughty guys, UP10Tion's stage..."
""Come closer"!"
The two of them said the title of the song at the same time, then suppressed their laughter and deliberately swayed their bodies closer to the middle. Their heads tilted and touched each other lightly and then quickly separated, causing another pleasant scream.
It feels like Chi Kyung-won and Bae Zhu-hyun are already very good at controlling the audience's excitement, and they also have a tacit understanding.
What is frustrating is that the voice was extremely loud when the singer was not on stage. After the singer UP10Tion officially came on stage to perform, the voice dropped a lot, forming a clear contrast with the previous one.
Others can’t see UP10Tion’s psychology, but it’s easy to guess what the audience is thinking:
"Can you guys go down? Let MC come up and keep chatting..."
Of course it's impossible. This kind of intimate and ambiguous interaction is the most exciting when it happens only once in a while.
Because we are celebrating the holiday, most of the artists performed today in Christmas-style costumes, and the lights were extremely festive.
After a while, Chi Jingyuan, who was waiting at the stage entrance again after changing his clothes, saw Twice who had come to prepare for the stage. At this time, the nine people no longer looked like they were when they were scolded just now, and they were crying very pitifully. Minazaki Saka had also reapplied her makeup and eyeliner, and there was nothing unusual about her.
It's just that the foundation around her eyes is a bit thick.
After they arrived, they bowed lightly to Chi Jingyuan and Pei Zhuxuan, and greeted each other quietly without saying much.
However, some people on Twice obviously glanced at Chi Jingyuan a few times, and Pei Zhuxuan seemed to glance at Zhou Ziyu inadvertently, but quickly withdrew his gaze, lowered his voice and told Chi Jingyuan to wait a moment. of hosting.
Twice soon came on stage. Their "Elegant" stage has been pre-recorded. At this time, the live broadcast will directly cut to the recorded video, and they will just dance along on the stage.
They re-choreographed the dance for today's stage, and there were a few sections in the middle that were very interesting to dance to the drum beats. Chi Jingyuan looked at it from behind and felt that it was a little more exciting than their original dance.
Twice is followed by Gfirend's "Today we start". The performances of these two relatively outstanding newcomers this year, whether it is the current performance or the special stage waiting for a while, are put together. The contrast between the two consecutive performances is still very good. obviously.
The styles of the songs and makeup are very different. One is sweet and cool, while the other is completely pure.
In terms of style alone, Chi Jingyuan prefers the former one.
In his mind, Qingchunfeng has no difficulty or threshold at all, because even Zheng Endi can walk...
After several stages, the two of them went up to host and reported behind the scenes. Bae Zhuhyun went to change clothes, and then Red Velvet arrived at the stage entrance to prepare.
Today red velvet performed a song "Three Wishes" specially planned for winter. It is a purely lyrical song without any choreography. The five people just started singing and stayed motionless throughout the whole process.
The song is average, the chorus is pretty good.
Chi Jingyuan has always felt that even if it is a ballad, it is best to add some simple movements or moves to make the stage more lively and agile. Pure stand-up stage performances will look a bit weird and weird under the Kpop style. Awkward.
However, several people’s makeup looks pretty good today, especially Jin Yelin’s.
…
"Good songs are always good to listen to. .T., Crystal Boy, they are all seniors in the music industry that I respect very much..." After about ten stages, in the second half of the show, a couple dressed in white Chi Jingyuan and Bae Zhuhyun pretended to be in front of the host table again and began to introduce the special stages of the next few groups.
"Yes, I like it very much too." Chi Jingyuan nodded and said seriously: "The weather has been really cold recently. It's easy to freeze if you don't pay attention when walking outside. I really need to listen to some good music. Songs or sounds to relax…”
As he spoke, he raised his hand and shook it slightly: "Later, the stage for the representative girl group of the 1990s is also ready. Please lock the channel..."
Before he finished speaking, Chi Jingyuan suddenly stopped there, and even his expression froze, as if he was frozen.
"Just hearing the name is enough to make people excited, ha..." Pei Zhuxuan looked down at the script and just said a sentence according to the correct line flow. Before he finished speaking, he noticed something unusual about Chi Jingyuan next to him.
She glanced at it, grinned and couldn't help laughing. After saying this with a trembling smile, she stretched out her finger and tapped Chi Jingyuan's shoulder: "Ding! Thaw!"
After she finished speaking, she covered her mouth and smiled, and Chi Jingyuan also responded at the same time, as if he had really been thawed, and took over Bae Zhuhyun's words very naturally and smoothly: "In 2015, I received a lot of attention. AOA's stage is already waiting!
"That's right, I'm always very excited~~" After Bae Zhuhyun finished laughing, she sang a line of AOA's "Heartbeat" in a very cooperative manner. She sang it very well, and even reached out to do a simple cosplay.
But Chi Jingyuan did not follow the procedure. Instead, he even pointed at himself and looked at Pei Zhuhyun's lyrics expectantly: "Me?"
"Ahhhh..."
The audience below reacted immediately and screamed loudly with excitement.
"Well..." Pei Zhuxuan paused for a moment, then reacted immediately, raised his eyes as if thinking, hesitated for a second amid the cheers, and then gently shook his finger: "Ani, no!"
"it's me!"
"no!"
"Ahhhh..."
After pushing and pulling twice, the two laughed together amidst the cheers, looked at each other, and bowed to the audience before exiting.
"Yeah, why didn't you tell me in advance?"
After walking down the stage and entering the backstage corridor, Pei Zhuhyun couldn't help but pat Chi Jingyuan lightly and complained with a smile.
There were several interactive dialogues just now that were not in the script, and Chi Jingyuan suddenly said them off the cuff. If she hadn't had a clear mind and quick reaction, there might have been broadcast errors.
"The PD himself said there would be more impromptu interactions."
Chi Jingyuan looked like he didn't care at all. He chuckled and glanced at her face: "Besides, you picked up the conversation very well. Anyone who saw it must have thought that we had discussed it in advance and had a tacit understanding."
"snort……"
Pei Zhuxuan snorted, not knowing whether it was dissatisfaction or pride, and rolled her eyes at him.
of course.
