Just as countless viewers were reminiscing about the immersive stage of "butterfly" just now, the TV suddenly went black and started to play VCR, and EXO's logo appeared in the center, and the snowflakes kept rising from the bottom of the screen, as if the radio signal was jammed.

Then a screenshot of Kai's personal teaser video suddenly appeared on TV, he was walking on the streets of London in a coat, and the extremely textured image made people feel as if they had traveled back in time through decades, and at the same time, a white line appeared in the middle of the screen, London 15:00.

This represents the city where the trailer was filmed, and when it was announced.

After kai, the personal teasers of the other members also appear in turn, each screen is very short for a second, and the font in the middle is constantly changing, and the names of cities and regions appear in English, accompanied by the rhythm of the drums, making people feel as if they are watching a spy war drama.

In the end, the ten different teaser videos are all shrunk into small screens around the screen, each of which clearly indicates the English name of their respective region and city, and under the constant change of the small screen screen, the other words of the place name slowly blur and disappear, and the first letter is gradually expanded, and the last ten letters are combined to form the title song "Call Me Baby".

After seeing this VCR like a movie trailer whether it is color, light and shadow or light and shade, and seeing the setting of these ten cities connected together into the title of the title song, many viewers who saw it for the first time had an inexplicable shock in their hearts at this time, and while praising the concept of this VCR is very handsome, the members are very handsome, and they can't help but sigh that SM is worthy of being SM, and the pen and strength are not comparable to those small companies at all.

“call me baby，dudududu。”

Without waiting for their hearts to stir, the camera turned to the outside, looking at the large screen on the floor and the trees planted around it should be the outside of the first floor of the SBS building, as the camera slowly descended, kai sitting on a white convertible sports car stood up, and began to dance as the sound began to open.

This scene really shocked many audiences, they really hadn't seen the beginning of the singing stage outdoors, and they couldn't help but complain in their hearts.

EXO's return this time is not only interesting, but even the singing has begun to be unconventional.

"Hey girl's eternal version of the moment."

"Fate's version of the moment."

"It penetrated my body and mind in an instant."

As Kai leans down sharply, the four members of the roadster appear in the camera, following the voice of Bian Boxian, the four people's hands keep moving, shaking their bodies in unison, showing a strong sense of rhythm.

"It's incredible, like a sparkle."

"A moment when I looked at you, oh my."

"Feel free to sit down."

“……”

After the last lyrics, Baekhyun pointed with his hand, and the camera quickly turned to the door of the building, and Chen, who had been waiting for a long time, slowly retreated while singing his part, and the camera followed him into the building.

Under his guidance, the camera pans indoors, and when you get there, you get to the scene that appeared in the music video, and as Chen flips over the screen, Ji Kyung-won and Do Hyun-so appear sitting on the sofa with Jiro's legs crossed.

In addition to the sofa, there are clothes racks and dressing tables, and the clothes on the hangers are neatly arranged, making it look like a lounge.

After a few people used the hanger as a table and made a few movements in a row, Chi Jingyuan and Wu Shixun strode towards the camera one after the other, while they approached the camera, the camera kept retreating to the corridor, after the continuous interaction between the two, Chi Jingyuan stretched out his hand and pointed at the camera, and then waved at the camera, the picture quickly rotated and aimed at the gorgeous stage in the next second, the members who were still outside before were already ready, and the first chorus danced directly with the music.

"The world is full of strange things,"

"It's hard to distinguish between the real and the false"

“call mebaby call me baby”

“call me baby call me baby。”

The hexagonal stage with the same XO logo is equipped with bright white fluorescent lights that look very shining, and the surrounding silver-white searchlights penetrate the black beams and pillars on the stage, and the neat group dance is more crisp and chic under the very cool and dazzling lights, which is fascinating.

Many fans, including Kim Ji-hee, who were watching the live broadcast, were dazzled by the continuous transition, and it seemed that they jumped from outside the building to the shiny stage before they could react.

From the beginning to the present, all the shots are all one shot to the end, the transition between outdoor to indoor, indoor to stage seems extremely natural, several groups of members appear in front of the camera in batches, everyone has their own characteristics, the action is brisk and creative, the important thing is that the lens language design is very good, everyone dances neatly and the expression is well controlled, interesting but not frivolous, plus the pop sense of the song directly pulls everyone's concentration and high point to the full value.

Compared to some of the previous stages, EXO really doesn't look the same.

After a collective crotch thump, the three of Chi Jingyuan quickly appeared on the dance floor, and their appearance on the scene caused a scream that resounded through the studio.

Because it's a pre-record, all the audience are EXO fans.,The support is in place.,Although it's the first stage and there hasn't been an agreed word of support.,But the screams and cheers almost never stopped.,Every wink,Top crotch,Raise eyebrows,And even smiles can make fans feel a burst of heartfelt excitement.。

The camera shot back and forth from left to right and back and forth from right to left, filming everyone's face, body shape, and dance, no matter which angle you look at, the dance movements are neat and uniform, and everyone dances with great intensity.

After the two choruses, with a wave of Kai's hand, the camera then turned to the right, Bian Boxian stood on a small corridor on the right side of the stage, and kept gesturing and chanting in his hands, in his ethereal voice, Kai and Chen entered one after another from the left and right, each stretching out their hands and moving back and forth left and right, until the final harmony sounded, Ji Jingyuan appeared in front of the camera, and the four of them stood in a row against the light, under the blue lights and brilliant brilliance behind him, his face was dyed with a dreamy atmosphere.

"The music comes from the sound of you waking me up."

"You're the one who gave me a new lease of life!

In the close-up of the camera, Ji Jingyuan stepped on the drum step by step, tilted his head, and sang the most impressive part of the whole song with a slightly harder expression.

Even though I have seen the MV many times, this is the first time that the live version is a completely different and different kind of live charm in the hearts of people who watch it.

“E!“

“X！”

“O！”

“listen！”

After Oh Se-hoon reported the name of the group, Park Chanyeol nodded his head, pulled off the jacket and covered it directly on the camera, the screen suddenly turned black for half a second, and the next moment after it was revealed, the EXO nine people had already stood neatly on the stage and entered the group dance of RAP and the last section.

"Ahhh......h

Seeing the nine people on the stage under the leadership of Chi Jingyuan in the C position, they stretched out their hands and leaned back at the same time, and then moved out of the handsome crab step to the left as a whole, and an indescribable sense of impact came to their hearts, and all the voices in the audience were almost hoarse, and Aili couldn't help but scream again, and every step of the large group of movements above seemed to step on their hearts.

Finally, this big group of crab steps is really one of the highlights of the whole song, this kind of very characteristic choreography can amaze the audience as long as it is danced neatly and beautifully.

This is the result of their grinding over and over again in the practice room, and the shortcomings of the dance have also kept up with the big team under a lot of overtime and self-effort, although they can't keep improving, but at least they look a lot more harmonious, and they won't lower the overall dance effect.

“call mebaby call me baby.”

“call mebaby call me baby.”

"Thousands of times, call me girl."

The final music came to an abrupt end, and all the members put on an ending pose, and along with the shouts of the audience, Kim Ji-hee and her classmates screamed at the same time.

Completely different from the MV, the live stage of the singing scene brings them a unique, physical and mental excitement, and the real and natural charm is even better than the former.

The MV is handsome enough, but because it looks too perfect under the addition of post-production, it is a little far from reality and a little distorted.

And the performance I just watched, the brilliant lights, the tacit cooperation, the fanatical fans, the neat dance and the perfect performance, under the combination of various factors, the audience and their fans seem to have been baptized There is an indescribable sense of shock, and the strong emotions brewing in the chest urgently need to vent, and they can only shout out.

"Today's one is ......"

"4minute, rough Kamida."

After the myth performance, there was an award, and seeing 4minute get one, EXO smiled and applauded on the left side of the stage, and one student smacked his lips and waved his fist: "You must get one for next week's return, don't forget to vote for the Oba." ”

"Of course I won't forget, but there should be no problem, the sound source and sales are very good, the key is that the stage live is so handsome and good-looking, the two songs are great, I like every stage very much, I don't know how the evaluation on the Internet is now......"

……

"The first person to sing outdoors!"

Today's "Popular Ballad" has not yet ended, and a hot search for this entry has already appeared on the Internet.

Some related posts clicked in, and all kinds of messages began to swipe the screen continuously, all about the "Popular Ballads" that had just been broadcast.

"Today's EXO's first stage can be directly sealed, and the stages of the two songs have their own characteristics, and I can't calm down after watching it."

"Yes, the stage performance of "Butterfly" is full, and the sadness can really be felt across the screen, and the sweat in the white shirt Yuan is directly in my place, so when will this direct shooting come out, I really want to see it. The words of "Call Me Baby" are also very good, the knife group dance is very neat and looks particularly handsome with the lighting, but I think the most interesting thing is the opening scene outside and the transition of the whole scene to the end, and I was really stunned for a long time when I saw it. ”

"The whole ball of crabs at the end is really handsome, I don't feel like I can see enough at all."

"Didn't anyone mention that the VCR in front of the stage was filmed with a good feeling?"

"After watching today's trailer and the first stage, I can only say that SM is worthy of being SM, and EXO is EXO after all, the scenery, lighting, aura and expressiveness of this stage are obviously not the same level as other boy groups, and it is really superior to the previous VIXX."

"Praise XO, praise XO, if your brain is sick, step on one? If you don't want to watch it, you can not watch it, the resources invested by the company are different, even if they are all pre-recorded scenes and lighting, there are so many resources, there is no way to do something in terms of expressiveness, we VIXX have done a good job, can you not be the main one for yourself? ”

"Ellie is like this, otherwise so many people hate them, they have a bad brain and a cheap mouth, and they deserve to be in the end."

"I don't know if Ellie is like this, XO is not mushy and you don't have to worry about it, but can you not hide the information anonymously, why do you want to hide your head and show your tail when you say it so justifiably, the dinner should also be the idol who has recently returned, right? Hit your main name plate and touch it head-on, and see if XO hits your idol next week? ”

…………

"I'm going to starve to death, what should I eat at night?"

"What are you still thinking about eating, just now Brother Chenghuan said that he will run a propaganda later, I guess I just got some hamburgers."

"Then let's pad it first, and then buy some takeout when we go back to the dormitory in the evening."

"I don't know what time it will be after I go back today......

More than a dozen groups of idol artists walked from the stage to the backstage, and the narrow passage was a little congested, and the members of EXO waited in the middle of the crowd while chatting idly.

Hearing Park Chanyeol Kim Jong-in shouting that he was hungry, Ji Jingyuan actually had a little stomach screaming, and casually gave some opinions on what to eat for supper at night.

As he spoke, he suddenly felt that there were eyes looking at him next to him, Chi Jingyuan glanced to the side casually, and found that it was a member of the girl group Gfriend who had just debuted in the backstage before, and he was not tall but quite cute.

But I didn't pay much attention to it, and after a glance, I retracted my gaze and slowly walked into the backstage with the loose flow of people in front.

Just watch it, I'm used to it anyway.

In terms of effect, the first stage this time is really very good, after returning to the lounge, the agent also took the initiative to praise it, and the previous desperate overtime practice can be regarded as having obvious results, looking at Jin Junmian and Bian Boxian's expressions are a lot more relaxed.

After a brief explanation, I left SBS when I finished packing my things, and then ran on the next trip.

This time the stage is off to a good start, but the return is officially underway.

……

“You，you，you……”

"Just stay with me, okay?"

"Promise me, okay?"

"Will it fly away if you touch it with your hand? Will it break? ”

"Scared, scared, scared."

Minami Nai was sitting in the corner of the practice room specially prepared for trainees who were selected for the talent show survival program, and was watching the replay of today's stage of "Popular Song" EXO "butterfly" with headphones on.

She looked at the white shirt in the center of the screen, Chi Jingyuan, dancing and singing in a low voice under the light blue and somewhat dreamy lighting, her pupils were in focus, and she was a little stupid for a while.

She watched the MV and listened to the song as soon as the music source and MV were announced at 0:00 today, and just now I also watched the live broadcast of EXO's return to the first stage, but compared to the handsome and high-end title song "call me baby", Minami Nai is more favored by the non-main song "butterfly".

This is especially true after watching the stage of this song.

The beautiful and soft melody pulls her into a fantasy fairy tale, and every line of the romantic and sad lyrics seems to snipe at the heart to produce a fluttering ripple, and she seems to have turned into a butterfly in her rich inner emotional world, and she can clearly understand every note and every lyric of the song when she flies in the air.

Whether it is the lyrics, melody, emotion, and the person who sings it, this song pokes her too much.

It's just that at this time, a burst of loud music pulled her back to reality, and Nai Nan raised her head and frowned slightly, and after clicking the pause, she took off the earphones on one side and looked over.

As soon as I took off the headphones, the familiar but somewhat noisy music came into my ears:

“call me baby，call me baby。”

Hirai Tao set up his mobile phone and played the MV, and he stood in front of him and learned the dance inside very seriously, first breaking down the various movements inside, and then he was very focused on imitating.

sighed softly, this family has liked the choreography of "Call Me Baby" since watching the MV, and after class in the afternoon, he took time to study, and he was very energetic.

However, her talent is indeed quite good, she learns well, and even the part of the top crotch is very good at a glance, and she is worthy of being the one with more outstanding dancing strength among the surrounding trainees.

After dancing for a while, it seemed to notice Nan Mei's eyes, Momo Hirai smiled at her, stepped forward to turn off the music and moved her body: "The choreography of XO this song is really good, not only does it look good, but it also feels good when it dances." ”

"Hmmm......"

Nan Nai seemed to have something else in mind, nodded a little perfunctorily, and finally sighed for a few seconds, looking at her with a somewhat serious expression: "By the way, Momo-chan, do you remember the Mercedes coupe we saw near the company before?" It's the one you said was handsome. ”

"Remember, it's the one Zhou Ziyu sat on."

Hirai Momo blinked while bending down: "Remember, what's wrong?" ”

"You watched the MV of "Call me baby", at the beginning of the close-up of a row of sports cars, one of which was exactly the same, I went back and watched it several times, whether it was the color, or the brand, the model was the same."

Nan Nai frowned, his cheeks slightly tensed, and his expression looked a little serious in his analysis.

Contrary to her companions, Hirai Momo didn't care much at all, she straightened up and glanced at Nanai Nan strangely, and said casually: "So what's the matter, it's a coincidence." ”

“……”

The man had no idea what her focus was.

Seeing her indifferent look, the corners of Mingjingnan's mouth deflated slightly, and he didn't say more, lowered his head, picked up his mobile phone, clicked it a few times, studied it himself, pouted and said secretly in his heart:

"How can it be such a coincidence......"

…………

After the official return, EXO was busy with two notches at once, not only did the previous work not stop, but after the recording of the first stage, he also began to run various promotional schedules after the return, if it weren't for the fact that the time was too tight, SM Company reduced a lot of commercial performances and signing events, and it is estimated that even the preparation progress of the follow-up album would be affected to a certain extent.

However, this long-lost busyness made Chi Jingyuan feel a full sense of substance, as if he had returned to the peak of EXO in 13 and 14 years.

At the same time, under the constant publicity and the influence of the singing stage, EXO's popularity and popularity have also increased at a rate visible to the naked eye, and the debut single album "E" has obviously been liked by many passers-by and fans, as evidenced by the surging numbers on the album sales chart in just two days.

In this case, all the members are tired and happy even though they are tired every day.

To be honest, I can't envy other boy groups.

The day after the first stage, Ji Kyung-won and his agent called them up early in the morning, and after going to the beauty salon to do styling, they got into a nanny car and went to Seoul Hallym Art High School in Songpa-gu to prepare for the recording of KBS's variety show "Entertainer Agency".

"Entertainer's Agent" is a weekly variety show broadcast by KBS 2TV, focusing on the latest hot entertainment consulting content on the peninsula, and there are often some special arrangements while interviewing the current hot stars.

For example, this time, EXO will conduct a 'raid guerrilla date' at Hallym High School of Arts in Seoul, where the school that has already communicated will gather a lot of students first, and let the invited artists suddenly appear in front of the students without prior notice, and let the camera capture the most realistic reaction when they bring them a huge surprise.

This model is very common in Peninsula variety shows, such as before Girls' Generation, they often participated in this kind of event, and every appearance at the peak of their popularity will cause a great response.

However, this kind of "raid dating" is very friendly to the popular idols of the general trend, and it will be very rewarding to see that they are so popular, but those artists who are average and don't know anyone will make the scene a little embarrassing.

"By the way, I remember that you weren't from Seoul Art High School, why didn't you go to your alma mater this time?"

Ji Jingyuan retracted his gaze to look out the window, remembered something, and turned his head to look at Wu Shixun, who was sitting in the last row: "Zhong Ren seems to be from this school too." ”

"The company and the program team arranged, how do I know?"

Wu Shixun shrugged his shoulders and said that he didn't know, and then nodded his head to answer Ji Jingyuan's next question.

EXO has a very good place, that is, the remaining nine members are quite highly educated, not to mention Ji Jingyuan, who is studying at Yonsei University, most of the other members have university degrees, among which the eldest brother Kim Min-seok heard that he is also preparing to take the master's examination, and Bian Baekhyun also has such an idea.

Regardless of whether you are an art major or not, at least you have this academic qualification.

The whole group, not counting the ordinary high school graduates, is Du Junxiu, and the lowest education is Wu Shixun and Kim Jong-in, two art high school graduates.

But even the two people who lag behind the most are not bad in other idol groups, and the members of the Peninsula idol group are generally low in education, most of them graduated from junior high school or even high school, and EXO's average cultural literacy can be regarded as outstanding.

This is also a point that Elle usually likes to brag about very much, and often makes her speechless and angry at the fans of her home.

However, when it comes to this topic, Chi Jingyuan is actually quite curious about the student life of an art high school, he turned sideways and asked with great interest: "Then what do you usually teach in art high schools, is it the same as ordinary high schools?" By the way, how did you get in school? ”
