Chapter 31: Welcome EXO!
"You played so many times last year, don't be nervous, it's no different from before."
In the waiting room, Li Chenghuan saw that several members were obviously a little nervous, and they had begun to sweat on their foreheads as soon as they came in, and a few people were restless back and forth, looking at him a little anxious for them.
"Don't worry, Brother Chenghuan, we have been preparing for this stage for too long, even if we close our eyes, we won't go wrong."
Jin Junmian comforted, but in fact, his expression was not very good.
Even Chi Jingyuan didn't play games in the waiting room as before, but sat there a little stunned.
The atmosphere is like this, and even he is not very comfortable.
No way, this return after many months is the one that determines the prospects of EXO, and everyone cares too much and attaches too much importance to it, so that they are afraid that this return will not go well, and they will suffer from gains and losses.
Today is May 30th, the day they return to the first stage, and at this time, all EXO will be in M! Backstage of tDown singing shows.
After the release of the concept photo of the return on the 16th, both fans and passers-by on the Internet have all aroused a lot of praise, and this time EXO's return to the campus style is really eye-catching, and it looks fresh and refined under the current popular group of heavy makeup hip-hop metal style.
In addition to the natural goodwill of many fans of the student group, the most impressive thing about this set of photos is the word 'handsome'.
This is also the simplest style of EXO's return to the pictorial this time, everything is in the service of this theme.
Subsequently, 17,19 two days successively announced the concept photos of individual members, and the new images of many members have been well received, especially Chi Jingyuan's appearance is very amazing, and the short rainbow head specially designed by Cody for him is really eye-catching.
The picture itself is already very handsome.,And the makeup photos have been specially retouched.,It looks even more heartbreaking.,I heard that many fans downloaded it directly after the picture was released and licked the screen.。
The promotional photos for the debut were unanimously well received, and this time the return of EXO, which has an overall image makeover, has received quite a bit of attention.
However, after the trailer video for the title song "Wolf" was released on May 23, some other voices emerged.
The MV costume of the title song is not the campus style of the concept photo, in order to echo the setting of the song, the costume is with some dark and wild style, although it is not ugly, it is also very handsome, but it doesn't look as eye-catching as the previous school graduation photo, which is a little different from many people's expectations.
In addition, the style of the teaser video has SM's usual secondary style, and the members of EXO are barking their teeth like wolves in it, which looks very weird.
When Ji Jingyuan filmed it, he thought this teaser video was very strange, and after it was released, he watched it once, and he directly forked it off before he finished watching it.
It's too shameful.
Although the reviews were mixed, in general, even if the gap was long, the attention was still high this time, and the first step of the return was considered a success.
"It's still the same process as before, and I'll take Junmian to visit the seniors first and send our album. There is a myth in this issue of MC, and several of Lee Hyori's seniors participated, so be sure to go and say hello. ”
"Then it's time to wait for our rehearsal, and the staff will come and shout."
"We just returned, and we don't count the MC in the first week, so we don't have to think about one person, and our music source hasn't been officially released yet, so we have to be nervous and wait until next week when we officially hit the song."
Li Chenghuan saw that the atmosphere was very solemn, so he took the initiative to speak to relieve the anxiety of the members, and after explaining a few words, he clapped his hands, and at the same time stretched out his right hand and shouted loudly:
"Alright, all cheer up, EXO, Fighing!"
“Fighing!”
The members also shouted to cheer themselves on, and even a few assistants and makeup artist sisters next to them formed a circle, stretched out their right hands together, stacked them in the middle, and slapped them hard.
This kind of cheering is quite effective, even if the tension is still there, but at least the atmosphere in the waiting room is a little better after that, so that people can wait quietly.
After sitting for a while, the members went out for a walk and visited the seniors who participated in the recording this time.
Recently, Shinhin and Lee Hyo-ri returned at the same time, which can be regarded as causing a lot of discussion, and they both participated in the recording in this issue, so it is natural for EXO to go up and say hello.
In addition, there are 4minute, hellowvenus, a few combinations they more or less know, and they have been on some variety shows together before, such as the occasional games three months ago, and Chi Jingyuan had a brief chat with them at that time.
These groups EXO were also very enthusiastic in the past, standing up and giving each other albums and cheering.
When he walked into their waiting room, Chi Jingyuan was obviously standing last, but he felt several eyes sweeping over him.
His style this time is really eye-catching, and at close range, the eyes of several female idols are a little bright.
After a round of visits, I returned to the waiting room, and after a short rest, the staff told me to go to the rehearsal.
This rehearsal really reflected the anxiety of the EXO members, a rehearsal was done like a formal stage, all the movements were done with all their strength, and the standards were accurate, and after a few minutes of dancing, basically everyone was sweating and panting after getting off the stage.
However, there were no mistakes, and the stage effect was also very good, which can be regarded as a reassuring pill.
The next step was to sit in the standby room, and after the recording officially began, they watched the stage on the in-room TV until the staff came to tell them: "EXO is ready to play!" ”
"Inside."
In response, all the members who had been prepared for a long time stood up, glanced at each other, and after a long sigh of relief, lined up and walked out, came to the place where the stage was entered, and waited.
At this time, the performance above is 4minute, and the performance is "Whatsyourname", which is the title song of their fourth mini album released in April, and the results are very good, and they have already won 7 places in major hit song programs.
“Fighting!”
Soon after their performance, they walked down after the show, smiled when they saw EXO waiting, stretched out their fists to cheer them up, and then staggered past.
At this time, the two special MCs, the mythical Li Minyu and Junjin, also began to introduce to the camera: "Inside, it's also a good mood to be active with our first-generation relatives, but when I see powerful juniors, I am also proud and in a good mood." ”
"Yes, that's what we're going to see this time, right?"
"Last year, I won many rookie awards, and EXO, who made a gorgeous debut, is back with a regular album, and EXO-K AND EXO-M are active with 12 complete players, which is too exciting."
"Inside, I watched it during the rehearsal, and the performance is really art, so handsome."
"It's going to be public right now! Welcome EXO! ”
