The cheers gradually fell silent, and only sporadic shouts could be heard, and the whole venue was plunged into darkness, and the constantly waving cheering sticks were particularly dazzling.

In the darkness, the secondary stage suddenly lit up, and several pillars of light flowed and turned, and soon formed a huge nine-square projection on the screen, and in the center was EXO's iconic "Labyrinth" logo for this year's mini second album.

See this logo. The screams that had just gone down immediately floated again, accompanied by the passionate BGM, Kai's figure appeared in the nine-square grid for a fierce solo dance.

Immediately after his disappearance, the figures of the other members of the group continue to emerge in turn, and the images on the curtain are constantly changing in the accompaniment and performance, and the elaborate computer special effects are dazzling to see, making people feel as if they are in a fantasy world that is out of control and intertwined.

Countless audiences were attracted by the extremely novel stage effects, and when they didn't enjoy it, the entire stage lights suddenly turned on, and the figures of the nine members appeared in three rows at the same time in the Jiugong grid, against the light, they couldn't see their faces clearly, but each one looked so dazzling, and the huge maze logo behind appeared again, and the irrepressible screams followed.

The lights went out amid the cheers, and after a few seconds of eerie silence, a familiar prelude suddenly sounded.

「ayodiesandgentlen.」

"If you're ready, let's scream together!"

A beam of lighting shot out from the ceiling, accurately illuminating the pool Jingyuan who had unveiled the curtain and walked to the stage, he raised his eyebrows in front of the camera in the hand of VJ who was filming in front of him, and at the same time stretched out his hand to hook the gesture of invitation, and the large screen also directly gave a close-up of the ultra-close-up in real time.

Seeing Chi Jingyuan appear on the big screen, as if responding to his lyrics, the screams of the whole scene went up a notch, and the whole audience fell into boiling instantly, and even many people in front of the TV felt very happy.

The familiar but unfamiliar "DOPE" finally reappeared in front of the audience after a long time.

Familiar because this song is the precursor song of this year's EXO mini second album, once it was released, it was liked by many people, the singing section with a strong sense of rhythm, the MV is impressive, the costume and the very characteristic choreography make "dope" have a lot of fans, and the current MV on YouTube has climbed more than 80 million hits, and it only took more than half a year to surpass the "Roar" released last year, becoming EXO's current most clicked song MV, It is only one step away from breaking 100 million hits, which is still extremely difficult for the current Peninsula idol.

And many of the clicks in the middle are from overseas Europe and the United States, and many people there seem to like the style, costumes and choreography of "dopo", and many European and American audiences also take the initiative to shoot ver videos and post them on YouTube, which has increased EXO's popularity over there a lot.

At the same time, Ji Jingyuan's singing and direct shooting in the police officer costume also opened the era of direct shooting in the Peninsula song industry, with more than 30 million clicks, it is unbeatable in all Peninsula idol direct shooting, and has a high reputation among Peninsula fans.

And the strangeness is because the stage performance of this song has been pitiful since the release date, and fans like to watch it even though it is very popular, but SM has never arranged XO to perform this song, and the most well-known stage so far is only that one, so that people who like this song can't find a chance to see the stage at all, and many people are disappointed and scold SM at the same time.

Don't put that "Addiction" on hold every day, we want to watch "DOPE"!

This time, the performance of this song was initiated by the organizers because of the popularity and gimmick.

And today, on the stage of MAMA, which has such a wide range of ratings, "dope", which has been absent from the audience's field of vision for a long time, reappeared in front of them, which really made many people feel an inexplicable surprise.

"yes, unlike the other guys, I do it my way."

"With my own unique style, ayo."

Different from the police officer's uniform style that is extremely out of the circle, today's Ji Jingyuan and all the members of EXO did not repeat the most characteristic s of this song, although the clothes lined are different, but the outside is a pure black suit, which looks serious and ascetic, showing another strange and wonderful style.

After finishing the opening, Ji Jingyuan turned to the side in a flash, letting the camera go to the next members, and the stage officially began.

After the three of them quit the group, the M team had no meaning of existence, and the choreographers who were originally six people from each of the two teams had now lost their role, and after the choreographer and Ji Jingyuan worked overtime, a nine-person version of the dance was re-choreographed for performance.

But overall, the difference from the previous 6-person version is not very big.,Add one at the back when dancing in a group.,It's okay to add a dance position symmetrically on the left and right.,It's just that the part has to be redistributed.,It can't be said that the three members of the M team who came together didn't have a word.。

"Girls, scream louder, scream, scream!"

"When I was working all night, you were playing in a nightclub."

"We're different from the rest of the guys."

The top lights are bright, the colorful lights will be immersed in the atmosphere of a nightclub, nine people stand on the stage in a neat formation and dance together, standing in the C position of Chi Jingyuan At this time, the buttons of the suit were unbuttoned in the fierce dance, revealing the sweater lined inside, and his forehead was still oozing obvious sweat under the temperature in December.

The audience below reacted very violently, screaming wave after wave of almost no interruption, and every time a close-up of any member's C position appeared on the big screen, they would respond loudly and neatly, and the atmosphere of the entire award ceremony seemed to be pushed to the highest peak.

「sayhat？」

「sayoo.」

「sayhat？」

Under the final characteristic saxophone accompaniment, the stage of "DOPE" came to an end, and nine people danced to the center of the stage, and finally the lyrics did not need to be sung by themselves, and the audience had already shouted excitedly:

"Absolutely, absolutely, absolutely, absolutely!"

The cheers in unison ignited the passion in the hearts of every member on the stage, and they posed with excited smiles, and several people in the camera were sweating profusely and panting softly.

It's a great feeling of being in the audience.

When the audience below was still jubilant, the lights on the ceiling began to dim, and when they saw this signal, EXO9 people immediately hunched their waists and ran towards the backstage.

As soon as they left, a dancer dressed in gymnastic uniforms walked onto the stage with a long red satin and began to perform a graceful solo dance to buy time for EXO's transition.

As soon as Chi Jingyuan and the others entered the backstage, they were surrounded by assistants who had been staying here for a long time, and each member had one or two assistants or dys around them to help change clothes.

"Don't worry, wipe your sweat."

While walking briskly in the direction of the elevator, he took off his black suit to reveal the light-colored turtleneck sweater inside, which is also the costume for the next stage performance of "Let It Be", and Sister Tong Dy also followed him with a tissue to help him wipe the sweat off his forehead.

"Hurry up and get on the lift, Baribari! The time is coming."

The field manager over there waved to them a little anxiously, looked at his watch from time to time, and wore a headset to listen to the explanation of the chief PD inside.

In the last twenty or thirty seconds, they checked each other's makeup and clothes, and all the members were ready to continue to stand on the elevator according to the position and order of the rehearsal, Chi Jingyuan was the first one, he held the microphone in his hand, took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, and at the same time the elevator began to operate, slowly rising towards the stage.

…………

"The next one is Jingyuan's new song for their winter dan, "Let It Be Natural", right? Anyway, the title of this song is really ...... It's interesting."

I just finished watching the stage of "DOPE" and reminisced about the aftertaste

, Jiang Shiqi felt that the dance was a little boring now, so she raised her head and asked.

She and Sun Sheng, who also raised their heads, glanced at each other, and the two laughed when they saw each other, both knew what the other party was thinking, and invariably raised their hands to imitate the posture of Chi Jingyuan who had just seen and shot at each other, and exaggerated the mouth shape of "absolutely", and then laughed happily together.

They went to practice after watching EXO receive the first award just now, but several people were very interested in the special stage of EXO's new song, so they pinched the break to watch EXO's performance, and after watching the stage of "dope", they suddenly felt a little excited about their bodies, and they couldn't wait to jump up and dance with them.

Bae Joo-hyun was sitting cross-legged on the wooden floor, holding the mobile phone and looking at it seriously, the earphone cable of the earphones hung down from the side of the jaw, and he made a few circles around his waist and slipped there trembling with his breathing, and there was a bottle of half-drunk mineral water next to him.

She still has sweat stains on her forehead from the practice just now, and the slightly rapid breathing sound is a little loud before it calms down, but it seems that none of this has affected her, Pei Zhuhyun has been staring closely at the live broadcast on the screen, and is not involved in the funny two of Jiang Shiqi and Sun Shengwan next to her.

Although the stage of "dope" was wonderful, she was a little restless in her heart, and the performances of Ji Kyung-won and EXO were also very eye-catching, so people couldn't help but admire, but Bae Joo-hyun's biggest expectation was EXO's new winter song "Let It Flow", which was about to start.

She always remembered what Chi Jingyuan said at that time, "You will know when you hear it."

Originally, Bae Joo-hyun later wanted to ask carefully in advance because he was interested, but because of the other party's hateful behavior of deliberately selling Guanzi, he was angry in his heart, so he gave up this idea.

However, the curiosity that was hung up became stronger and stronger, and as I thought about it carefully, I also had a faint sense of anticipation.

Finally, it was time for today's special stage of MAMA.

She could see who the person who wrote the lyrics with Ji Jingyuan was.

……

The female dancers in the colorful silk danced off the stage, and the lights of the entire venue dimmed again, and the scene fell into a chaotic discussion.

At this time, there were suddenly silvery white points of light above the sub-stage, and more and more points of light slowly descended at the same time, forming a gorgeous and dazzling starry sky in mid-air, which continued to descend until the entire sub-dance was completely enveloped.

The silver-white light is extremely dazzling in the dark, and people's attention is focused on it at once, and it turns out that hundreds of chains with small snowflake-shaped lanterns are hanging from the ceiling, and the number of countless small lanterns flashes and blooms with a slightly cold silver-white light.

This light is not only the official cheering color of EXO, symbolizing the shining stars, but it is also like a cold snowflake, which seems to lower the temperature of the entire stage.

Being in it is like walking in the starry sky or walking in the snow, and every flicker of the lights can trigger the audience's infinite reverie.

Even though EXO has not yet appeared at this time, this dazzling dance set has already amazed countless audiences, and it is really beautiful and feeling.

At this time, countless colored lights suddenly dimmed, and a very rhythmic, melodious and soft piano sound came, and the whole venue suddenly felt a lot quieter, and everyone realized that the new song stage of EXO had officially begun.

"You'll get used to it, again."

"It's like catching a cold."

As the soft chanting appeared in their ears, all the colored lights were lit up again in an instant, and everyone was pleasantly surprised to find that the members of EXO had appeared on the side stage, shrouded in countless stars, as if they had just come out of a dream.

And Ji Jingyuan, who was standing in the middle, sang the first sentence with a microphone, and his soft but emotional singing voice made the AsiaWorld-Expo, which was still a little noisy just now, quiet.

And Ji Jingyuan's familiar voice came to his mind through the headphones, and Bae Joo-hyun was whole after hearing the first sentence

They were all a little stunned.

「…… I thought I'd get used to being scolded for so long......

「…… I've never had such a bad cold and fever before......

Involuntarily, in the early hours of the morning, by the river, on chairs, sitting together, crying bitterly...... The picture of that night before suddenly appeared in front of her, and the words that she had almost forgotten when she was crying with Ji Jingyuan under her emotional breakdown became clear again, and they were so vivid.

"A swarm of gray emotions."

"Even if you rub shoulders with me countless times, you still have to be patient."

Immediately after Chi Kyung-won, one of the lead singers yheart."

Under Ji Jingyuan's skillful switching of true and false sounds, the first main chorus officially ended, and "Let It Be", EXO's unreleased winter single, officially met with all audiences.

The fans of XO who have been paying attention to the Ellie fell into endless emotion after hearing the melody and seeing the lyrics, they are very aware of the setbacks and disadvantages that EXO has encountered after withdrawing from the three in a row, listening to this gentle but firm accompaniment, and this is extremely close to the present, as if written into the lyrics in their hearts, everyone is full of emotion, looking at the EXO nine on the screen, their hearts began to get excited inexplicably.

Although passers-by on this side of the peninsula don't have so many ideas, many of them also know what the situation of EXO is, and under the high-quality interpretation of the stage effects of the lead singers such as Chi Jingyuan, they are also unconsciously immersed in the artistic conception, and they feel that this song is quite good, and the lyrics are also well written.

Although the audience at MAMA couldn't understand the lyrics, the melody was very enjoyable for them, and many people's eyes lit up after listening to the first part, which was very pleasant. Coupled with the gorgeous and atmospheric stage set, many people have already decided that this is the most impressive stage performance they have seen tonight.

"This isn't the end, is it?"

「ua~ua~」

"There will be dark days, right?"

「ua~ua~」

After the end of the second chorus, after the two lyrics of kai and xiun, all of them added a "ua~" harmony, which made many people feel their eardrums tremble in their ears, and the ethereal harmony was very good at this time, which played a strong role in setting off.

After listening to it for a while, many people quickly swept their eyes and found that this was not recorded in advance, but Chi Jingyuan on the stage sang it with his own vocals.

At this time, he lowered his head, raised his microphone to his mouth, and his teammates sang a sentence of him and a sentence, as if he was doing a sacred thing and was very devoted.

In the third harmony, some people can't help but "u" along with it.

When the chorus was performed for the second time, the director pointed the camera at the artist seat from time to time to shoot the artist's reayheart."

"Today's test is over."

"Please shine a light on me."

At the end of the lyrics, the previous accompaniment melody suddenly stopped, leaving only the beat of the drums, and at the same time there was a shocking, goosebump-raising sound.

「u~~~~u~~~~u~~~u~~~」

"Ah~~~Ah~~~Ah~~~"

The two different voices are perfectly and harmoniously blended together, and the undulating background sound and the chanting that penetrates the eardrum are unimaginably emanating from the mouths of Ji Jingyuan and Do Junxiu, forming a cappella-style harmony like fairy music, without the blessing of accompaniment.

The amazing vocal harmony that appeared in the latter part of the song just now was vividly displayed at this time, making the audience who thought that the song had ended instantly excited, and while listening attentively, they looked at the stage and the screen with inexplicable and unbelievable eyes.

The silvery white lanterns in the sky turned into a yellow color at some point, and the whole stage seemed to have entered the intoxicating warm spring from the cold winter, although the speed of change was a little fast, but it was not under the harmony

Abrupt but natural.

And Ji Jingyuan stood in the front center of the stage at this time, surrounded by countless pale yellow starry sky, he looked like a character from a comic, and the light-colored turtleneck sweater did not have any embellishment, but it made people feel very comfortable.

He lowered his head slightly, his left hand gently covered his ear, and his right hand held a microphone to sing harmony mercilessly, and his head would tremble slightly every time he pronounced it.

「u~~~~u~~~~u~~~u~~~」

"Ah~~~Ah~~~Ah~~~"

The harmony between the two works together very well, and the ethereal sound that pierces the sky brings out all the pent-up emotions of the whole song at this moment.

The end of this paragraph can be called the finishing touch, it is the essence of the whole song of "Let It Be", Chi Jingyuan's harmony is like a heavenly sound, it sounds like the clouds are seeing the sun, the whole song is a little low, and the dazed atmosphere is swept away in an instant, as if the only ray of light is injected into the dark winter night, this is redemption.

Even on a cold winter night when it is dark on all sides and there is no hope in sight, there is still hope and light, as if it were God's will.

The sense of déjà vu that broke out of the cocoon into a butterfly in the midst of the predicament and returned with the stars and the moon came to the face, so that all those who heard it had different experiences in their hearts, but the same was indeed the same touch.

It's just that this inseparable harmony is very short, adding up to fifteen seconds, and many people have not listened to it before they have enjoyed it, and they can't wait to rewind the progress bar and listen to it again.

At the end, Chi Jingyuan held the microphone in both hands, raised his head and looked at the camera seriously, smiled at the corners of his mouth in the close-up close-up, and sang the last lyrics softly:

"Please shine a light on me."

Looking at the close-up of Ji Jingyuan on the mobile phone screen, looking at his bright eyes, Bae Joo-hyun only felt that at this time, he seemed to have penetrated time and space and made eye contact with him.

Memories and images of the past also flooded into my mind at this moment.

「…… To put it romantically, everything now is a test, just like you just said, no matter what, it will pass......" Ji Jingyuan propped up the chair with both hands, looked at her very easily and said with a smile.

「…… How can anyone run out at twelve o'clock in the morning to watch the sunrise, it's pabo......

「…… The sunrise must be beautiful and bright, it will definitely light up all of us......" Bae Joo-hyun looked at the dark sky with some longing and some anticipation.

「…… Inside, light up Bae Joo-hyun first, and then you reflect the light to illuminate me......" Although Ji Jingyuan smiled, his eyes were very focused on her eyes.

"Hahaha, pipipipi......" Although she didn't say it, she made a gesture like a gong to illuminate the other party, and smiled like a child.

The memory of the past and the scene in front of her unconsciously coincided, sitting in the practice room, she looked at her mobile phone in a daze, even though the stage was over, her ears still echoed the melody of "Let It Be Natural" just now, and the last lyrics sung by Chi Jingyuan:

"Please shine a light on me."

"Please shine a light on me."

Ji Jingyuan smiled, turned his head to look at her, and the picture became clearer and clearer in front of him.

Suddenly, an indescribable emotion that had been suppressed in her heart was a little uncontrollable, and the more she suppressed it, the more active she became, no matter how hard she tried, it still didn't achieve much.

Soon, this feeling broke out like a wild horse, flowed from the heart into the chest, poured into the limbs, surged into the mind, and surrounded every corner of the body without stopping to crumble and roar.

Her breathing became rapid, her lip biting became harder, her nostrils trembled slightly, her eyes moistened, and her hands holding her phone tightened.

I...... He......

"Hey Yigu, Jingyuan's new song is really good, I like it so much, especially the last harmony, u~u~ tsk tsk, too

I'd love to try a cappella, if only I could sing it...... The style and lyrics are very appropriate to EXO's current situation, and their fans must be very impressed, and I feel that this song is a good match for us......

Sun Shengwan recalled from the shock just now, smacking her lips with envy and longing on her face, obviously it is one of her dreams to perform such a shocking harmony stage on an occasion like MAMA.

And the lyrics are really written into her heart, which is very appropriate for the current situation of redvelvet.

Just as she was talking, she noticed that Pei Zhuhyun was a little strange not far away, looked at the other party buried in his head, and his eyes seemed to be shining, and asked with some concern, "Ernie, what's wrong with you?"

This sentence seemed to wake up Bae Joo-hyun from her complicated memories and thoughts, she trembled for a moment, but did not raise her head, but shook her head and lowered it a little, holding her mobile phone tightly in her hand as if she was hesitating something.

pinched her hands a little red, and after a few seconds, she seemed to have finally made up her mind, took the phone as quickly as possible, found the contact and quickly typed a row of words and sent it over:

"Are you going to go back to Seoul early tonight?"
