Chapter 49: Isn't It Him?
"The next one on the stage is EXO, and this time the rehearsal will be pre-recorded, so please pay attention. "The Hwajeong Gymnasium of Korea University, as the venue for SBS TV's 2012 year-end song war, set up a gorgeous stage early - when Wang Nanqian, who poured three cans of coffee and struggled desperately with the Sandman, wore a white performance costume tailored for him by the stylist of S.M. and hung a headset to stand in the passage leading to the performance stage backstage, the thick voice of the stage manager came from the sound of the scene.www.biquge.info
Wang Nanqian, who has been filming in the crew of the TV series "School 2013" for the past three or four days, turned around and returned to the company's practice room to practice without resting, but after hearing the voice of the stage manager who was not very loud, he pinched his arm hard, and then suddenly sobered up.
As long as you stand on the stage, you must have the determination to die.
This is the last rehearsal before the official start of the live broadcast, and it also includes the pre-recording, which is very important for the live stage - for the group of EXO, who has only debuted for a year, and has stood on the important year-end stage of SBS Song Wars with the relationship of S.M., this rehearsal is just as important as the official stage.
As the prelude to MAMA, the title song of the same name as their debut mini-album, sounded in the venue, the six members of EXO-K took the lead on the stage: Originally, when MAMA's song was participated by Team M, it was performed by two teams half Korean and half Chinese, but in this year-end stage performance for the Korean audience, Team M basically became Team K's backup dance- The six members of Team M only need to rush from the back of the stage to the stage in the second half of the stage and dance the final part together behind the formation of Team K.
This also gave the members of Team M the opportunity to watch Team K perform in the back.
At this moment, Wang Nanqian is doing this: since he became an actor and starred in a TV series, he has not watched his teammates concentrate on stage performances at such a close distance for a long time - even in the past few days, he has participated in several joint exercises, but in the joint practice, he only cares about remembering his own moves, and has not been able to distract other members.
Compared with when they first debuted and performed on the singing stage, the dance moves of the members of Team K have become more rhythmic and powerful - and in the more intense dance moves, their breath when singing is much more stable than when they first debuted: especially Do Junxiu, a guy who usually doesn't say anything, and I haven't seen him express himself in particular, but his progress speed is staggering.
In the past few months, they have never stopped practicing, and they have worked harder than the trainees in the company who have not debuted, and the members of EXO who are holding their breath in their hearts because all their trips have been canceled are desperately improving their strength - this is probably the intention of Lee so-man, the general producer of S.M. Company, who single-handedly created the EXO group, right? Use this kind of stimulation to force the children who he chose as members of EXO to challenge themselves, and then show those who have criticized EXO now after a few months how good this group can be?
Just when Wang Nanqian was standing behind Wu Yifan, looking at the members of the K team who were struggling to perform on the stage from the exact opposite position from the audience, the treble part of Bian Boxian, who was the other lead singer of the K team, pulled him back to reality- The stability of the breath of the guy who has been a trainee in the group for the shortest time has also become much better, and Bian Boxian, who has almost never sung this high note in its entirety on the half-open microphone singing stage in the past, actually digested this part of his part perfectly.
Everyone is working hard to improve, only because of the busy TV series shooting schedule and neglected to practice, he seems to be still in the same place: if this continues, when the official start of formal album production next year, will he become the person in the team who is dragging his feet?ββ just thinking of this very likely thing, Wang Nanqian felt that his heart couldn't help but tighten.
Seeing that it was about to come to the part where the M team needed to play, because now everyone was wearing headsets and couldn't speak casually, Jin Zhongda could only reach forward with his hand and pat the back of Wang Nanqian, who was standing in front of him-The captain of the M team who was standing in front of him was so busy that he hadn't even returned to the dormitory a few times during this period of time, and after a previous rehearsal, this brother actually fell asleep sitting on the floor of the waiting room, which made him a little worried about Wang Nanqian's state.
Even without any verbal communication, Wang Nanqian could feel the concern of Kim Jong-dae, the Korean brother who had always had a good relationship with himβhe was probably cheering himself up, right? Wang Nanqian, who was about to turn around and give Kim Jong-dae a smile to reassure him, had already heard the interlude that was crucial for this performance before he could make a move.
So he sorted out his facial expressions in an instant, and rushed to the stage behind Wu Yifan: Even if there is no singing segment, even if it is just a rehearsal, even if the audience is empty, as long as you stand on the stage, you must do it with the determination to die.
However, Wang Nanqian, who had already run onto the stage and danced to the music of the song Mama, didn't know that from the moment he appeared on the stage, in the corner of the audience where some other artists and staff who came to participate in the performance were sparsely seated, there was a person's eyes already on him.
"The artists from the S.M. company are really good at knife group dance, do they have to practice every dance of the title song for three or four months?"
"If you don't have this kind of strength, you probably won't be able to debut from that place, right? Although this newcomer group called EXO looks good, there seems to be a little gap in level compared to their predecessors in the same company?
"Maybe it's because there are too many members, and the two people you said are very good-looking, so they probably got chosen because of their faces, right?"
"You see the one who has now moved to the front, right? The popularity king of this group is actually a Chinese member, which is also quite interesting. β
"You mean that guy who looks like a girl? I thought you were talking about that President Nan, isn't he the most popular in this group right now?"
Just beside the person who had been focusing on Wang Nanqian, two SBS TV staff members were talking unscrupulously about the group that was performing on stage: because they didn't lower their voices, everything they said was heard by that person.
"The most popular person...... Nanqian, you can actually do this step......" (To be continued.) )
