Chapter 233: Prelude
The sun on June 7 was particularly dazzling, and the sun burned all over the body, and compared to yesterday, it was like a warm spring turned into a hot summer day overnight.
Since it was a free performance, and almost all of Korea's most popular groups gathered, fans of each family lined up outside the stadium early.
At noon, the large number of sightseeing buses directly paralyzed traffic.
It wasn't until the afternoon that the stadium was open to spectators, and fans who had been enthusiastic all day flocked in, and the four major fan groups that dominated the Korean music scene in the high-rise stands each occupied their own cheering area. Compared with the fans of popular groups in the past who fought for seats, this dream concert can be said to be very mild, thanks to the initiative of Sunflower, the dispute is completely resolved through negotiation.
Sunflower got the seven cheering areas in the upper stands and became the biggest winner.
Lee Sun-ah, Choo So-yeon, and Shen Su-jin, as well as a group of senior managers of the "Sun God" fan support club, immediately poured into the venue, and according to the pre-agreed plan, each area was assigned a supervisor and two assistants, and each supervisor was equipped with a walkie-talkie to ensure that the support was uniform.
A large number of fairy queens, fairy fairies, and princesses of peas also rushed to the upper stands, hanging giant posters and pictures in preparation for support.
The fairy queens are even more enthusiastic, TVXQ left South Korea to go to Japan for development, after more than a year, has achieved unprecedented results, the fairy queen to use practical actions to express the idol will not give up, as always, enthusiastic support.
Before the fans entered the stadium, a group of artists who participated in the dream concert had already arrived at the venue. Start the formulaic red carpet process.
Because the dream concert is free to perform, the rules of those seniors in the music industry are not so important, and they walk the red carpet according to the order of arrival.
Zhao Yuanxi arrived with Girls' Generation and the newly debuted junior boy group Shinee, so they naturally walked the red carpet together.
The nine girls of Girls' Generation are all dressed in white gauze skirts, with long hair fluttering, like Limbo fairies; The five of Shinee took the fresh style of the campus, only Zhao Yuanxi was dressed in a black suit, which did not match the style of the two groups of artists in the same company, and was completely exclusive to Zhao Yuanxi's ribbon.
The backdrop is a black-and-white lattice advertising wall, with nine girls from Girls' Generation standing on the backdrop in turn. With a smile on his face, he waved to the camera and fans on the other side. Then there are the five big boys of Shinee. They have just been debuting for two weeks, and they are a little nervous and restrained in the face of long guns and short cannons.
Zhao Yuanxi tidied up his collar and walked the red carpet easily, as an "old man" who debuted for five months. He is adept at finding and grabbing the camera. Appear in front of the audience with the most perfect image.
Walk down the red carpet. The group walked to the waiting room for a short rest. Because of the large number of members present at S.M, the organizers specially arranged a connected waiting room for S.M's artists, and Cho Wonxi's waiting room is located between Girls' Generation and Shinee.
"Brother. Let's go change the stage costumes first. The five of Shinee bowed slightly to say goodbye to Zhao Yuanxi and walked into their own waiting room.
"Go ahead." Zhao Yuanxi smiled and raised his hand.
There is almost no intersection between the debut artist and the trainee, and the girls of the girls' generation are also unfamiliar with the newly debuted boy group, seeing that Zhao Yuanxi has a good relationship with the juniors of the same company, Lin Yuna said with a smile: "Oppa is very popular." ”
"Of course," Zhao Yuanxi said proudly, "Brother has always taken good care of his juniors, aren't you the best example?" ”
Sunny exclaimed, "Oppa, we're your seniors. ”
"Ugh." What Sunny said seemed to be the truth, Zhao Yuanxi was stunned when he heard this, and touched his nose speechlessly.
Seeing that Zhao Yuanxi was deflated and a group of girls were smiling, Jessica waved her hand triumphantly, shook off her figure-eight steps and walked leisurely into the waiting room of Girls' Generation.
Girls' Generation has an opening show, and they have to change their costumes and makeup as soon as possible.
The dream concert is not a formal singing stage, there is no need to pay attention to red tape, Zhao Yuanxi has always been lazy, naturally he will not visit those seniors who have not even heard the name, and walk out of the backstage alone to the side of the stage to observe the audience.
The three fans, the fairy queen, the fairy and the sunflower, became the protagonists of the high-rise stands, and the number of fans of the three houses exceeded the organizers' estimates, and the stadium, which had only prepared 35,000 seats, was obviously insufficient.
The on-site staff instructed the follow-up fans to quickly divert into the various support areas, and the large banners and photos hung before were constantly taken off to make room for the fans who entered later, and the whole scene was full of people, and Zhao Yuanxi could hear the shouts from the high-rise stands standing at this end of the stage.
The high-rise stands were densely packed with people, and the subsequent influx of fairy queens and goblins began to storm the infield area, inevitably causing small-scale conflicts with other fans, but fortunately, the on-site staff handled it properly and channeled the crowd in time to avoid a large-scale conflict.
Zhao Yuanxi took out his mobile phone and dialed Li Shanya's number, "Shanya, remind the children to pay attention to safety and don't get hurt." ”
In this concert, Sunflower got a support area from the fairy queen and the goblin, reaching an astonishing seven support areas, and Lee Sun-ah and Choo So-yeon were standing in the central "W" area of the seven areas and arranged for fans to enter the venue in an orderly manner through the walkie-talkie.
Unlike the fairy queen and the goblin, which are formed by the union of multiple fan support clubs, it seems loose and messy, while Sunflower is different in that the fan body is almost all composed of members of the largest support club, the "Sun God", and everything is well planned in advance.
"Don't worry, Oppa, we've got several plans in place." Li Shanya said confidently that it was the first time she participated in such a large-scale concert as the commander-in-chief, and she was naturally excited, and she took out a serious attitude towards the college entrance examination and tried to ensure that the whole support was flawless.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the 2008 Dream Concert officially kicked off.
The crowd was filled with screams from more than 50,000 people, and the atmosphere reached its peak in an instant.
The opening song is performed by Kyuhyun, Ye-sung and Lee Wook of SUJU, Kim Tae-yeon, lead singer of Girls' Generation, and Kim Jong-hyun, lead singer of the newly debuted boy group Shinee, and the performance track is Lee Seung Gi's "Let's Travel". Although the artists under S.M pay attention to their appearance, the lead singers of both men's and women's groups are outstanding, which is enough to be proud of the Korean music industry.
Zhao Yuanxi left the stage with TVXQ and his party, and did not retreat to the backcourt, but quietly stood at the entrance on the side of the stage to enjoy the performance. The closest to Zhao Yuanxi was Cui Siyuan, who was beating the drum hard, shirtless and intoxicated.
After the opening performance, Park so-hong, Kim Hee-cheol and Song Ji-hyo, who were the hosts of the concert, entered the arena and stood on the stage surrounded by flowers about ten meters away from the main stage.
Kim Hee-cheol and Song Ji-hyo once co-hosted the Music Bank, and they had a relationship with Zhao Yuanxi, and he was no stranger. Park so-hong is a well-known host and has been a frequent guest at major ceremonies since 2004.
After some opening remarks, Song Jihyo said loudly, "Next, I would like to ask Baechigi to bring us "Number Three". ”
Zhao Yuanxi did not continue to watch, leaving the stage and returning to the waiting room, he has been reluctant to tell the truth to the girls of Girls' Generation, because the truth is always too cruel, but now he has no choice. Rather than letting the girls stand on the stage without knowing it and face the boundless darkness, it is up to him to reveal the heart-wrenching answer.
The waiting room of girls' generation has always been very lively, and today is even more lively, Little, prodigy, Shengmin and Donghai, these people are close to the girls, and they usually have members of their own schedules, do you have a chance to meet, and come over to visit the door.
The girls smiled and called "Oppa" when they saw Zhao Yuanxi, and a group of people from SUJU were much more restrained when they saw Zhao Yuanxi, and they all knew the identity of Zhao Yuanxi's executive director, and it didn't seem appropriate to call him "Executive" on the occasion of the backstage, so they had to bow respectfully.
Except for Han Geng, Zhao Yuanxi and the members of SUJU were not familiar with each other, and said lightly: "You guys go out first, I have something to tell Girls' Generation." ”
"Yes." THE FOUR OF SUJU TURNED TO LEAVE. (To be continued......)
