Chapter Twenty-Six: Absolute!
"Absolutely!"
Zheng Endi saw Ji Jingyuan directly imitate the appearance in his MV and shot him, the action was really a little similar, and he obviously watched the MV of "dope" more than once.
"Hahaha......" Sun Naen and Wu Xiarong, who were standing next to them, covered their mouths and laughed non-stop, while their eyes kept staring at Chi Jingyuan who walked in.
Seeing this, Chi Jingyuan also smiled, stretched out his hand to his mouth and compared the 'hook', imitating the dance moves in apink", and made the girls on the other side laugh.
"Hey Yigu, in your MV for this precursor song, you are really handsome enough."
Zheng Endi grinned and took a step closer, patted Chi Jingyuan's shoulder with his feet, and sighed very much: "How did you come up with the shape of this police uniform?" “
"Inside, Jing Yuanxi's police officer appearance in the MV of "dope" is really great, and we were quite surprised when we watched the MV in the afternoon." Wu Xiarong followed the certification.
Sun Nan didn't speak, but her eyes kept nodding with a smile.
"It's a whim, because this song was supposed to be a crowd of people with different professions at the time."
Chi Jingyuan first explained briefly, and then raised his eyebrows at Zheng Endi: "Handsome, I told you at the time, if it weren't for the postponement of our return, we would have knocked you away directly, making you so arrogant on the phone......"
"Cut, you have the ability to collide, your popularity is amazing?"
Zheng Endi looked at Chi Jingyuan without showing weakness, and then stretched out his hand and shook it: "It's a pity that you will officially return next week, and we will end the song when we finish next week, haha, you can't bump into it!" ”
She squinted her eyes and smiled toothily, while twisting her shoulders and ass defiantly, and Chi Jingyuan, who looked so embarrassed, couldn't wait to throw the sole of her shoe in her face.
The two younger sisters next to them couldn't help but cover their faces and laugh when they looked at them like this.
They actually envy Ernie and Chi Jingyuan for being so familiar and can make any joke.
"Don't be rampant now, there will always be a day ...... bump into him" Ji Jingyuan looked at him and gritted his teeth.
"Hahaha......" Zheng Endi not only wasn't worried, but also laughed arrogantly, and Chi Jingyuan, who was watching, shook his head with a smile speechlessly.
I haven't seen each other for a few months, and after the joke, Ji Jingyuan chatted with a few people here for a while.
Sun Naen is not as old and resentful as before, and now she is a lot clearer when she faces Chi Jingyuan, always squinting and smiling and looking at him all the time, and then listening to them chatting and applauding from time to time.
After a short chat, Apink was called out of the rehearsal, waved goodbye to each other, and then returned to the lounge.
There were no other friends in this issue, so there was no need to go to the door, and after playing the game console for more than an hour, Team K began to pre-record the stage in the set that had already been built.
Although they had rehearsed countless times before, they still recorded five times without major mistakes for the best results, and then selected the best version for tonight's live broadcast.
During the pre-recording, Ji Jingyuan noticed that there were several people sitting under the stage who were holding their mobile phones and shooting at them, looking at the dress and age, they were obviously not fans, and it was estimated that Park Jae-hyun and SM had communicated, and the company sent them to shoot straight.
When it was done, the tired and out of breath 6 people returned to the lounge and waited for the evening program to begin.
…………
"What is Mina-chan looking at?"
In the practice room of the JYP building, Momo Hirai looked at Sasha Minatozaki who was eating snacks, swallowed and spat and held back a strong sense of hunger with self-discipline, turned his head to look at Minami Nai, who was staring at his mobile phone and wearing headphones, and took the initiative to change the topic.
She was recently reprimanded by a teacher because of her body and is undergoing strict body management.
"Definitely watching M! >> EXO's return tonight...... Didn't they reveal the music source and music video at noon? Sasha Minato didn't need to look at it to know that she sucked in a small piece of chocolate and puffed out her face to eat it comfortably.
"It's all in Korean, can Mina understand it?" Momo Hirai blinked.
"Mina learned Korean much faster than you did back then, and the language talent is really good, and now I can communicate." Sasha Minato said a little unkindly.
"It's not a return, it's a special stage for the prelude."
Nakai Nan suddenly turned his head to correct it, and then turned around again to look at it seriously.
"Oh, yes, "dope", I also watched this MV at noon, the song is average, it doesn't feel like my style, but the choreography is really super handsome."
As Hirai Tao spoke, he couldn't help but twist a few times.
"I haven't seen it yet...... Is it really handsome? Sasha Minato swallowed the chocolate and licked her lips.
She doesn't feel very good about exo, and she has the impression that it is a very popular boy group on the peninsula.
"Hmm!"
Najing Nan turned to her again and nodded vigorously, then turned back to look at his phone.
"Still mina-chan is the most beautiful......"
Minato Sasha felt that Minai Minami looked cute, and sat down directly with a smile and hugged his hands to make a sticker.
Mingjing Nan pushed it but didn't push it, and the VCR was already playing on the screen, so he didn't bother to care about her, and moved the phone over there:
"Started ......"
…………
In the VCR, the bust and name of each member of Team EXO-K flashed in turn, and the last six people appeared on the screen together, which was the cover promotional photo that was praised by fans for "dope".
The scene switches to the stage, after the SM staff carefully set up, surrounded by barbed wire, next to the messy water pipes, road signs, documents, signs and other unrelated things from all walks of life, the whole stage looks like a somewhat messy utility room, but it clearly reveals a sense of freedom and casualness and strong hip-hop.
On the left side of the screen, a song message appears:
The title of the song is "Dope".
Singer EXO-K.
Lyrics: Yuan.
Composer Yuan.
At this time, Kim Junmian squatted in front of the camera and said the opening lyrics to the camera: "Come on, listen to EXO's song for the first time, right?" “
The camera gradually rises under his tuition, and at the same time, the accompanying music also plays, and the volume slowly climbs from low to high, as if it is gathering momentum, as if waiting for something.
Jin Junmian listened with his ears, and when the beat of the accompaniment became more and more urgent, he snapped his fingers hard and quickly at the camera, and then the camera turned, and a small jump Chi Jingyuan reluctantly appeared in front of the camera.
“ayodiesalemen。”
"If you're ready, scream."
Under the close shooting of the camera, Ji Jingyuan pointed to the camera with a drag smile on his face, and slowly approached while singing the lyrics.
The dyed hair looks pure black at first glance, but it has a very deep burgundy color under the light, and the bangs are neatly combed to the left, revealing most of the smooth forehead.
The crooked smiling eyes make people involuntarily have a good impression, and the soft face that was originally very affinity has a ruffian look at this time, and the corners of the mouth seem to show the natural casualness of the owner.
The black police officer's uniform, which is neatly marked, stands out on the tall body, and the superior figure is clear at a glance.
The picture is frozen, at this time, Chi Jingyuan is handsome and ruffian, but under the background of serious and mature clothes, he exudes a strong sense of youth, and this conflicting contradictory perception is perfectly mixed with his body, bringing people a huge impact.
This appearance immediately gave the audience a strong blow, and the moment of this appearance made countless people experience an indescribable sense of amazement, I don't know how many viewers looked at the screen with their mouths half open and couldn't say a word.
Especially when Ji Jingyuan was getting closer and closer to the camera, squinting his eyes, tilting his head, and gently raising his eyebrows at the camera, they only had one feeling...... Ten thousand years at a glance.
"It's different from the other guys."
"Use my style."
"My, my, my, my most unique style, yes OH!"
He walked in front of the camera, made some hip-hop gestures and sang his part, and finally slapped his chest, snapped his fingers vigorously and then leaned to the side, giving the camera to Do Hyun-so, who appeared next.
"This ...... It's really handsome, he tilted his head and smiled and took it to me......"
Sasha Minato felt as if she was a little taken away by the scene of Ji Kyung-won's appearance, and she shook her head and communicated with the two friends next to her to seek some recognition.
But the two people next to her ignored her, Hirai Momo glanced at her, put his hand on his lips and 'shh
Obviously, I could hear them all the time when they were chatting just now......
"Hmph......" It didn't feel good to be ignored, so she took the initiative to post it again, put her head on someone else's shoulder and looked down.
"Every day when I'm working all night"
"You're playing in a nightclub, yes."
"Don't be surprised, it's good, every day!"
“igotafelligotafell。”
As the part ends, the camera zooms out, and the six members of EXO-K run out from the left and right sides to take their positions in the center of the stage.
"I'm amazing!"
The whole chorus begins to enter the first chorus and group dance.
The unique saxophone accompaniment is very rare, and the very characteristic melody, combined with the deliberately funny and pretending to fall movements of the six people in the group dance, seems to transform the serious stage into a casual and comfortable hip-hop playground.
The audience focused on the stage, as if they were not infected by this relaxed atmosphere, and their bodies began to shake gently with the saxophone involuntarily.
“target=“_bnk“>://>
This was followed by two large raps, and after Park Chanyeol, who was dressed as a racer, Ji Kyung-won performed his first stage rap performance.
"OK, we're all amazing from head to toe."
"There's a whole shift of work in a day, absolutely not."
“…………”
"We dedicate our youth to our work, and we are moving towards success step by step......"
"Girls, scream louder, scream!"
"We're amazing!"
He dragged himself to stand alone in front of the camera, pointing at himself for a while, pointing at the camera for a while and doing the posture that rap should have, frowning with rich expressions from time to time, and his smart but not exaggerated body language showed a mature typhoon with his characteristics, making people completely unthinkable that he was driven to the rapper by the duck on the shelf.
With a strong sense of rhythm, clear vocalization, and just the right amount of rhyme, coupled with very funny and satirical lyrics, Ji Jingyuan focused everyone's attention on himself like a black hole.
After singing this rap, he flashed to the side of the camera, leaving the stage for the other members, followed by a separate part of Kim Jun-mian and Oh Se-hoon.
Ji Jingyuan half-squatted on the left side of the stage, one hand propped up on the floor and the other on his knee. Because of the fierce dance, he gasped a little, and his mouth opened slightly and gasped gently.
The light came down from the top of the head, blocked by the bangs and hair, imprinting a slightly messy shadow on the cheeks, and the eyes in the shadows appeared more deep, while the sweat beads on the forehead were visibly floating, slowly swaying down the ends of the hair, gently dripping on the stage.
Because he recorded several times in a row, his physical exertion was very great, and at this time, his neck and side face were already soaked in sweat and somewhat reflective.
At this time, Ji Jingyuan raised his head slightly and looked at the right side of the stage, and Park Chanyeol, who was also half-squatting there, also looked up tacitly, the two glanced at each other, and when they saw each other's appearance, they both felt very interesting and smiled, and then lowered their heads again.
At this time, Oh Se-hoon is performing a solo part on the TV screen, and he can't see Ji Kyung-won and Park Chanyeol squatting next to him, and the official camera will only build the lens according to the image sent in advance, and at this time, he will only stare at the C position, and he will not shoot the other members squatting next to him.
However, the SM staff who were holding DV and mobile phones below and shooting with them all the time took pictures of the appearance that these official lenses would not show at all.
After a period of unison dancing, the second main song is followed by the members changing positions in turn, and everyone performs a part in the C position.
Each dressed in the uniform of a different profession, a police officer, a doctor, a white-collar worker, a car driver, a detective, a security guard, six completely different styles of clothing come together, making people feel strange but inexplicably harmonious.
There are several members who are particularly suitable for their own clothing, the first of which is Ji Jingyuan's police officer suit, even if he does not stand in the C position, but as long as he appears in front of the camera, people can't help but stare at him all the time.
"That's the XO style."
"It's not like the weirdos who lie."
"I'm working hard every day."
“IgottamakeitIgottamakeit。”
"I'm amazing!"
It's time for Chi Jingyuan again, he turned around from the right side and came to the camera, jumped a few steps and hooked his hand at the camera, and the other members approached him, he stood in the C position and sang a high note watching the camera zoom away, entering the end of the song, and the last one danced in unison.
The perfect combination of saxophone and drums, coupled with the handsome, neat but a little absurd and funny choreography, pushed the atmosphere of the whole stage to the final high point.
“saywhat。”
“saywowo。”
“saywhat。”
"Absolutely, absolutely, absolutely, absolutely!"
With the last accompaniment, the six members of Team K shook their shoulders and heads left and right, turned their backs to the camera at the same time as the music ended, stretched out their right hand and put it on the right side of their head to give a thumbs up, and posed for Endingpose.
The stage officially ends, and the screen switches to the MC's side.
So the official camera didn't shoot it, and Ji Jingyuan, who was facing away from the stage, made an impromptu movement with his right hand with his thumb after Emding ended. He tapped his head twice with his index finger, then shook his hand with ease.
Then the members turned around, looked at each other a few times, and chuckled together.
It's just that because the pre-recorded video has ended, this kind of small action will not be broadcast in the live broadcast.
At this time, Team K was standing in "m! c", looking at the pre-recorded video on the big screen, I also put out the ending.
Piercing screams and cheers followed, and the audience seemed to be affected by the pre-recorded stage just now, and the atmosphere of the whole venue was enthusiastic and wanton, they looked at EXO who was bowing on the stage, waving the name tag and streamer in their hands vigorously, wanting to express their excitement and joy at this time.
Even if the name tag may not be the name of EXO, no one cares about it at this time.
"Consanmida."
At this time, the idol of the next performance was already waiting next to him, and the six people of the K team waved their hands after saluting, and then left the stage, and they did not participate in the selection for a while, the most important work of the day has been completed, and everyone took a breath of relief.
When they returned backstage, they met Apink who was walking towards him and was ready to go to the waiting stage for the performance, and the other party was one of the alternates of the day, and the performance stage was at the end of the show.
The two groups of idols lined up in two rows and staggered by, saluting each other, Ji Jingyuan and Zheng Endi glanced at each other by mistake, and at the same time made a 'absolute' vocal mouth shape with their mouths, looked at each other and smiled, nodded and passed without speaking.
It feels like this word has the potential to become a buzzword these days.
After returning to the lounge for a while, he was called onto the stage by the staff to prepare for an award.
Although Exo-K does not participate in the selection, the final award still has to be presented to face for a while, after all, people also attach so much importance to their return this time.
Today's issue of M! c" Because of the impact of the previous incident, there were not a few groups of artists in total, and there were many solo artists, and everyone went to the stage at the final award ceremony, and there were only about 20 people including the K team, you must know that there were 12 people in the K team and apink combined.
The sparse look of the whole stage seems to indicate that the entertainment industry on the peninsula has not fully recovered.
The last one was unsurprisingly given to Apink, and they defeated the senior Lee Seon-hee to get a trophy this time.
Li Xianji is in her fifties this year, and she has high connections and status in the circle, and she is still the teacher of today's popular artist Lee Seung-gi. This year is the 30th anniversary of her debut, and she released a commemorative album to show it, but it's just to commemorate, and it's too lazy to play on the singing stage.
"I'm sorry and guilty for sharing the joy of one......"
Because the matter has not completely passed, Park Chulong was very cautious when he issued the acceptance speech, and the other members were not overly excited, but just smiled lightly.
After the testimonials were finished, the others saluted each other and said goodbye, Ji Jingyuan just turned around and was about to leave, and Sun Naen, who was standing not far away, holding the trophy, turned his head inadvertently, and his eyes were on the right all of a sudden.
"Congratulations."
Ji Jingyuan smiled and nodded.
"............" Sun Naen pursed her lips and smiled sweetly, her eyes staring at him.
Without further ado, Ji Kyung-won said hello to Jung Eun-di again and left the stage after the members, and soon after, the music of APINK encore came.
"I don't know what's going on with Team M, so I guess the stage is done."
Back in the break room, the members chatted casually as they packed their things and prepared to leave.
"The stage over there is also recorded in advance, so it should have been broadcast at this time...... Team M must have no problem, they were originally popular in Xia Country, and the competition over there was not too fierce, didn't you see BTS going to activities for a few months? ”
Park Chanyeol straightened his hairstyle in the mirror, and at the same time expressed his opinion in a casual tone.
"When we were pre-recording just now, a few brothers who kept staring at us under the stage were arranged by the company, right?" Du Junxiu remembered at this time and asked.
"Yes, I asked Brother Chenghuan just now, it was the staff who the company arranged for us to shoot straight." Kim Junmian nodded.
"Hey, it's useless to shoot this thing directly, and no one will watch it when it is sent to YouTube, and even fans won't necessarily watch it...... It's better to prepare a few more stages and promote more. Kai complained slightly.
When they were chatting hotly, the door of the lounge was pushed open, and Lee Seung-hwan walked in and clapped his hands and began to explain:
"The kids quickly cleaned up, and after a while there was an interview and a pictorial shoot, and then we went to dinner."
"After eating, go back to the company for a meeting."
"Stop playing, hurry up and ......"
"Arasaw............"
…………
The music video and soundtrack for exo's prelude song were already controversial after they were released at noon, and after the only stage broadcast of "Dope" in the evening, it caused a considerable amount of discussion among fans and passers-by.
"I've been looking forward to it for a long time but I'm a little disappointed after listening to it, I really don't think this song is good, it's far worse than "Roaring Filial Piety"."
"Sisters, take a look at the MV, the dance music must be watched with the MV or the stage, this MV is very good, really distinctive, several oppas are very handsome. Link to DM you. ”
"I don't feel like DOPE is in the style of EXO, but it's a bit of a big change from the last return."
"What was the last regression? "The Miracle of December"? Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to compare a dance music with a lyric song......"
"XO has just debuted for two years, so I'm definitely going to try a variety of different styles."
"Except for those sexy girl groups, how can there be idols who have always been in the same style? And what do you think of EXO's style? Do they have a set style since their debut? “
“emmm…… It should be handsome. ”
"Aren't the music videos for "dope" and the stage handsome enough?"
“…………”
All kinds of messages began to swipe the screen on the website forum and fanclub.,There are likes and dislikes.,It can't be said to be a mixed bag.,After all, in terms of quantity, I still like most of them.。
The last time "December Miracle" was an incomplete return, and it was mainly lyrical, many fans did not regard the winter special as a normal return, so they all compared EXO's return this time to their regular album.
But in terms of audience and praise, it is obviously worse than "Roaring Filial Piety".
But then again, in recent years, the boy group has not talked about the first song, even if all the title songs are brought out, there are few songs that can be compared with "Roaring Filial Piety".
But whether you like it or not, anyway, the heat is already rising, and SM likes to see it. And today is only the first day of the release, and the specific results of the precursor song "Dope" will depend on the development of the next few days.
