「XOXOXOXO!「

"Ahhh

"I love you, Chanyeol, I love you......"

The continuous withdrawal of the members did not seem to affect EXO's popularity on the island side of Hong Kong, and when they walked out of Hong Kong Island International Airport, they were still warmly greeted by fans, and Elie who stood in a phalanx each held posters and banners and immediately erupted in earth-shattering cheers after seeing EXO come out, rendering the already noisy airport even more noisy.

There were also a few reporter-looking people next to him holding cameras and shooting at EXO and the fans who picked them up next to them, feeling that they had found good news materials.

Ji Jingyuan followed the back of the team and looked at the many posters of himself next to him that were held up by the local Aly, he folded his hands under the sanitation of his assistant, and slowly squeezed out as he slowly squeezed forward, generally bowing gently to the fans on both sides to show his gratitude, and the screams of each place they looked at would immediately become better.

Such a warm reception made many members happy but a little puzzled in their hearts, and it seemed that the welcome received by EXO this year was much warmer than when they came last year.

Isn't the meal here affected by the withdrawal?

After getting on the bus that had been prepared, the group went directly to the hotel, and on the car, the agent Lee Seung-hwan said some things that need to be paid attention to as in the past, XO has been a combination of two and a half years since its debut, and it is no longer as ignorant as a rookie, MAMA is also the third time to participate, and has already had a lot of experience, Lee Seung-hwan simply explained two sentences of the itinerary for today and tomorrow, and did not say more.

Interestingly, this year he did not prohibit EXO members from leaving the hotel as before, he didn't mention this point, but said that he should not run around during the break, and remember to report to him where he goes.

Several members of the team were overjoyed when they heard this, and the company's management of EXO was significantly more relaxed than when it was a rookie

Coincidentally, because this year's venue is the same as last year's 2013 MAMA, which was held at the AsiaWorld-Expo, the hotel booked by the company for EXO is exactly the same as last year's.

After putting their luggage at the hotel and trimming it a little, they went directly to the car to the venue and the AsiaWorld-Expo for the realization.

I have practiced many times in the practice room before, and the stage of several songs has long been familiar in terms of dance and positioning, but there are many things that need to be paid attention to in the formal performance, including the production of scenery and some special effects in cooperation with the company, the use of lifts, the timing and route of changing clothes, etc., which need to be rehearsed on site.

"I've already told you about the specific process before, but there will still be some differences when we get to the scene, and I won't talk about it many times before we practiced many times before standing in the nine-square grid and cooperating with some special effects at the beginning of the EXO......

After arriving at the venue and waiting for a while, all the members of EXO and the team took the stage to start rehearsals, and the 9 members gathered in a circle and listened carefully to the detailed process explained by several stage instructors of SM Company.

"Needless to say, the lights will go out after the opening nine-square grid performance, and at this time everyone will open the curtain and enter the first stage "dope", which goes without saying...... After the performance of "dope", there will be dancers pulling the colorful silk to perform, about 40 seconds, plus the lanterns fall for about a minute, at this time, you get off the stage as fast as possible and go directly to the position of the lift, and the assistant will help you take off the stage costume jacket of "dope" on the way, and then Jing Yuan will be the first to go up and start the special stage of "Let It Be", and the other members will go up one by one in order."

"Remember that when the stage is full of colorful lanterns falling from the ceiling, it is best not to touch it with your hands, whether it is a bad quality leakage, or it is not tightly tied and dragged down, it will cause a stage accident, understand?"

"Got it."

The nine men bowed their heads in understanding.

This time, the effect of the special stage for the winter single "Let It Be" be impressive,

SM has made a lot of preparations.

In addition to the specially matched lighting, dozens or hundreds of other lantern chains will hang down from the ceiling, directly enveloping most of the stage, and at the same time, it will change color as the song progresses, creating a dreamlike stage effect while setting off the atmosphere.

The organizers don't care about these things, they are all prepared by SM itself.

""Let It Be" was followed by Kai's solo dance, and the others took advantage of this time to transition, and this time the transition time was more sufficient, getting off the stage to change clothes and then going directly to the lift, and finally the stage of "Addiction", which is nothing special......

"The process is that there is nothing complicated about this process, let's go through it first, and let's talk about it while practicing."

The instructor gestured to the stage with both hands for a long time and said a lot, and several people from Chi Jingyuan, who had memorized it in their hearts while listening, also hurriedly responded:

"Got it."

"Let's get started."

……

Because there are a lot of performers who need to rehearse, I didn't give you too much time, but fortunately, I was mainly familiar with the process, and after practicing a few times, there was basically no problem.

Chi Jingyuan felt that the difficulty was that they had to run faster when they were transitioning, it would take one or twenty seconds for the elevator to rise, and there was not much time left for them to transition, and it would be interesting if they accidentally fell down when they got off the stage to change their clothes.

In the afternoon, after finding time to queue again, EXO left the venue and went to have a meal together, and then returned to the hotel and started free time.

"Do you want to go out for a stroll at night?"

"Do you want to come over at night?"

In the hotel room, Ji Jingyuan, who was leaning on the bedside and playing a game, suddenly rang continuously, and he paused to pick it up and find that he had received two invitation text messages, which were sent by Pei Xiuzhi and Jin Yarong.

Although MissA did not return this year, because of the popularity of "so", she will basically perform on stage with Ji Jingyuan on several important stages at the end of the year, and this MAMA is naturally no exception, in addition to the performance stage, this year's "Best Collaboration Song Award" has almost been booked by them.

After Pei Xiuzhi arrived on Hong Kong Island in the afternoon, she sent a text message to Chi Jingyuan and said that the hotel that JYP had booked for her was quite close to EXO, and it was near AsiaWorld-Expo.

And girslday, as one of the popular girl groups this year, also attended this MAMA, but her special relationship with Chi Jingyuan has a feeling of being separated, and she hasn't had much contact for a while, but she doesn't care much about it just by looking at her appearance and tone.

Anyway, it's just looking at the right eye, and it's not a formal relationship.

The two of them invited him together as if they had discussed, and Chi Jingyuan was also stunned for two seconds after seeing it, and felt very funny in his heart.

Bae Xiuzhi and Kim Yarong have such a tacit understanding? He really didn't see it.

The company's management of EXO has loosened a lot and has not restricted them from going out, not long after returning to the hotel just now, Park Chanyeol and Kim Jong-in happily went out to play, and now it is estimated that they will go to which scenic spot to team up for an expedition.

"I'm a little tired today, so let's do it next time."

"I'll talk about it when I go back, I'm too lazy to go out."

After thinking about it for a while, Chi Jingyuan sent a message to the two of them separately, and he didn't bother to read the reply, threw the phone aside, and continued to operate the game console.

For the invitation of the two, Chi Jingyuan is not very interested, going out for a walk is really just going out for a walk without much meaning, this kind of overseas itinerary must not be able to return to the hotel at night, these two days are still MAMA's holding day reporters and fans are all over the street, Hong Kong Island reporters are notoriously powerful, and one of them will easily be photographed when they go out, and it will be a little difficult to say at that time.

Speaking of which, in the past few years, Girls' Generation seems to have been taken ugly photos by paparazzi reporters on Hong Kong Island, and the two suspected members of Girls' Generation in the report clubbed with the rich.

After that, he fell down on the road like he was drunk and fell next to the garbage heap, which is known as the "Lan Kwai Fong Incident", because he only took pictures of his back, so until now, he has not determined who is in the photo, even if SM and the young members have issued statements to clarify that it is not themselves, there are still many people on the Internet who are speculating about it.

Although Chi Jingyuan didn't ask if the sisters who knew each other when he was young were them, he naturally saw the photo, and from his point of view, if he had to choose one person in his youth......

That person must be Yuna's senior, because the leg shape of one of the people in the photo looks awkward from behind.

I don't know when the members who went out to play at night came back, anyway, when Chi Jingyuan saw them after getting up the next day, he thought their complexion was quite good, and the water and soil on Hong Kong Island were really quite nurturing.

Today is the day of MAMA, and everyone at EXO gets up early in the morning to continue to run to the venue for rehearsals, including "so" with Bae so-ji.

This rehearsal is a complete walk through the process of the evening, and all the guests are basically present, which is much more formal than yesterday's stepping on the stage.

After walking in the morning, EXO they didn't even eat and hurried to the beauty room to start styling, and at three o'clock in the afternoon, they were picked up by a special car and began to walk the red carpet, sign autographs, and accept interviews.

I don't know how those female artists insisted on dieting and body management a week or even half a month in advance in order to look better in custom dresses at large-scale ceremonies.

He couldn't do it anyway.

snatched a few cookies from Wu Shixun's hand and took a cushion, and Ji Jingyuan didn't go out to contact people like Kim Junmian and Park Chanyeol, so he sat in the lounge that was separated from the backstage and squinted his eyes to recuperate, waiting for the ceremony to begin.

"Come on! (smiley)"

When it was close to six o'clock, Chi Jingyuan received a text message from Zhou Ziyu, looking at the silly smiling expression in the middle of the screen, Chi Jingyuan seemed to see Zhou Ziyu smirking in front of him.

He exhaled and chuckled, and returned a "smile".

At this time, Li Chenghuan quickly walked out of the outside with a notebook and called him directly: "Ready to start immediately, the others will watch in the background first and wait for the staff to notify, Jingyuan, you will go directly to the artist booth now to listen to the venue arrangement, and you will have your award at the opening."

"Alathor." didn't see if Zhou Ziyu had sent a message, Chi Jingyuan directly put away his mobile phone, stood up and gestured, first ran to the mirror to check whether there was any problem with the modeling, and then walked out quickly with the field staff waiting outside the door.

Because there are a lot of guests at this kind of large-scale awards ceremony, and there are several large boy groups with a large number of people like EXO, the artist seats set up outside generally can't sit so many people. The organizer will arrange the seats of the artist seat according to the time of receiving the award and the performance, and the guests will be staggered, and the artist who is about to perform on the stage will come down in advance to prepare.

followed the field staff to the artist's seat and found his place, and Pei Xiuzhi, who was arranged next to him, glanced at him and didn't speak, Ji Jingyuan smiled and nodded to the few artists who were close to him.

Compared with last year's MAMA, Ji Jingyuan saw a lot of familiar faces, such as GD, INFINITE, sistar and several other trending artists.

In addition to their EXO, CrayonPop, which was very popular last year and the second half of the year, has long since disappeared.

The audience had all entered the venue, and the lights on the ceiling gradually dimmed amid the chaotic noise, and the audience erupted into a loud scream knowing that it was about to officially begin, and it was not until the music began to fade down.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, the 2014 MAMA Awards Ceremony officially began, and under the gaze of countless audiences, the first program was a group of rappers who Ji Jingyuan couldn't name the passionate rap

Performance.

Several rappers have tattoos on their exposed arms, wear large gold chains around their necks, and make hip-hop and real-world gestures, singing rhythmic lyrics on stage.

Although he couldn't name it, Ji Kyung-won barely recognized that it seemed to be a contestant on this year's well-known rap show "shotheney" on the peninsula, and one of them seemed to be a trainee of YG, and he remembered hearing a member of XO mention it in his dormitory.

The opening rap performance did not heat up the atmosphere, and the local audience on Hong Kong Island basically couldn't understand what they were singing, but they still waved the cheering stick in their hands and screamed twice with great enthusiasm.

After broadcasting the list of all the guests present at MAMA, this year's host Song Seung-hun stepped onto the stage.

Song Seung-hun is one of the well-known actors on the peninsula who became popular all over Asia at the beginning of the millennium, and starred in "Blue Life and Death Love" was a smash hit. It's just that the momentum in recent years has weakened a lot of works that are not too out of the circle, but with the extra-large-scale performances of the heroes and heroines in the romance film "Human Poisoning" released in the middle of this year, it has also caused a lot of discussion.

This year's venue stage is in a straight line, extending from the main stage to the secondary stage, and then connecting the artist seats in a straight line, and the three places can be seen very clearly.

"Hello everyone, I'm Song Seung-heon."

Standing on the main stage, he first greeted the local audience in Chinese and caused a cheer, but he also said this sentence, obviously he did not understand Chinese, and only prepared this sentence in advance.

He naturally switched to English: "Welcome to Asia's largest music festival, MAMA 2014, and the honor of coming to beautiful Hong Kong."

"There will be a lot of great performances tonight, are you ready to enjoy?"

"Yay!" Song Chengxian's name is still quite big, and the audience has always been enthusiastic since he appeared on the stage.

Soon after the host made an opening, the first award was presented, Best Newcomer.

This year, the girl group redvelvet that debuted SM couldn't even enter the list of candidates, and Ji Jingyuan had to admit after reading the candidate VCR that the results of every newcomer were much better than redvelvet's, and even got7, which made a small splash in his debut, was not something that Ryder Beibei could catch up with.

Sure enough, the Best Newcomer went to YG's new boy group, "Monster Newcomer" inner.

Their debut results are really amazing, the title song "Emptiness" won the first place in five days after its debut, and it was released in August, and now in December, there are only four months of accumulation, but they have entered the top 40 on the Melon annual list, and the momentum is good and can continue to move forward, as far as a boy group is concerned, this debut sound source is simply amazing.

Ji Jingyuan feels that under the premise that there is no other company to operate, inner is likely to sweep all the newcomer awards this year.

It seems that inner is also quite excited, and he said a lot of testimonials on the stage to thank a vote of people, and at the same time, the camera was given to the audience below, many of whom held their hand banners and supports, and they already had so many fans and popularity in just a few months after their debut, and the prospects of this new boy group are really good, and I don't know where the success has been when EXO debuted.

The SOLO Award for Best Dance Performance immediately followed went to Lee Seon-mi.

Such a long name sounds like a consolation prize......

Speaking of Li Xuanmei, she is also an old acquaintance, she came out of ondergirls in 2013 and solo twice, the first time she hit EXO's "Roar", and the second time she bumped into Ji Jingyuan and Bae Xiuzhi's "so", this fate is about to overflow.

The two positive hits caused her solo response to be less than expected, both the popularity and the discussion were covered a lot, and she didn't even get a single song. But in fact, her two solo songs are quite good, whether it is last year's "24 Hours is Not Enough" or this year's "Full Moon", the music source results are very good, and she has also gained a group of her own fans.

Li Xuanmei was obviously prepared, and when she received the award, she looked eye-catching in a red dress.

After she got off the stage, the lights dimmed and it was her turn to perform.

At this time, the other members of EXO also quietly came to the artist booth from the aisle and sat down, and their awards would be available later.

At this time, the performance was a song that Girlsday turned over this year, "Sothing", which is known as the pinnacle of resentment and resentment.

I have to say that the spirit looks different after the people are on fire, Ji Jingyuan hasn't seen Jin Yarong and several members of Girlsday for a while, and at this time, they all feel a lot better than before when they look on the stage, not only in terms of makeup and clothing, but also in a kind of self-confidence.

Speaking of which, Jin Yarong is really good-looking today, with black hair and red lips, a black dress with a high slit and a stark contrast with the exposed white long legs.

Yu Guang noticed a VJ carrying a camera and filming reae at himself."

Hearing their names called, Ji Jingyuan and Pei Xiuzhi who were sitting next to him stood up together, looked at each other and smiled, and then bowed a few times to the artists who congratulated them next to them.

The members of EXO felt much more excited than Ji Jingyuan himself when they saw Ji Jingyuan winning the award, and several people who were close to him rushed up directly and hugged him on the back and patted him twice, very excited and quickly clapped their hands, and Park Chanyeol also leaned to the side and gave two thumbs up.

It's not a big reward for them to work so hard, but it's nothing to be lively, at least they can blow the soul of the group on the fans......

Ji Jingyuan and the members clapped their hands with a smile, and then walked to the side stage with Bae Xiuzhi.

He is wearing a black suit and trousers, while Pei Xiuzhi is wearing a white long skirt, wearing high heels, he doesn't look much shorter than Ji Jingyuan, the two of them are tall and long-legged people who are very superior in idol, standing together and appearing on the big screen really made many viewers' eyes light up, and they felt that they were really good together standing together.

But Ellie definitely wouldn't think so, and some people who were paying attention to Chi Jingyuan at this time wouldn't think so.
