Chapter 39: Envy a Junior
The three members in front of MissA walked very fast, and after seeing Chi Jingyuan and several people take the initiative to stand up and say hello, they smiled back with Chi Jingyuan and nodded to the three of them in redvelvet, and left directly without stopping.
After waiting for a few seconds, Bae Xiuzhi, who was following behind and obviously kept a distance, was late.
"Senior, Anihassaiyo......
Bae Joo-hyun's eyes lingered on Pei Xiuzhi's face for a second, Tong Kong's expression was a little deep but did not change, and he saluted politely and said hello.
Pei Xiuzhi laughed out loud when he saw Ji Jingyuan and the others, stopped and swept his gaze around the faces of the redvelvet three, and finally locked on Pei Zhuhyun's face and nodded in return, and then looked at Ji Jingyuan, who just raised his hand and waved it, even if he had said hello, he looked very interested, and asked with a smile, "It's so lively, what are you talking about?"
Although Pei Xiuzhi is also the same age as a few people in 94, she debuted with MissA in 10 years and is considered a senior, Jiang Shiqi and a few people are obviously not familiar with her and seem a little cramped, Chi Jingyuan glanced at her, stretched out his hand and waved to signal a few people to sit down, and then pointed to Jiang Shiqi and a few people who were hesitantly sitting back in their seats: "Chat casually with your relatives, you just went to record the return interview?"
"Death?" Pei Xiuzhi nodded in reply, and after hearing Chi Jingyuan's words, he glanced at a few people again, seemed to be a little surprised, stretched out his hand and pointed at a few people and asked, "This is redvelvet, right?"
Her expression was as if she didn't know who these girls were just now, and only recognized Bae Joo-hyun and a few people after she knew that it was Ji Jingyuan's relatives.
But it's normal, so many girl groups in the music industry debut or disappear every day, even if they have worked together, they may not have much impression, but Ji Jingyuan feels that her expression is a little deliberate.
It is actually an honor to be recognized by the seniors, Jiang Shiqi and the two nodded again and again, Pei Xiuzhi smiled and looked around again, and finally his eyes stayed on Pei Zhuhyun's face, as if he remembered something, and after looking at it a few times, he showed an expression of admiration: "I remember that you are the captain Irenexi, you are really beautiful, and you are pleasing to look at."
"Consanmida." It seems that he didn't hear that the other party's tone obviously had a condescending attitude of being a senior, and he didn't care that the other party had finished the delicate styling and he just painted makeup, Pei Zhuhyun showed a bright smile on his face, stood up and bowed lightly to express his gratitude.
At the same time, there was a look of joy and surprise after hearing the praise, although the tone was soft, it did not mean to deny, but it sounded a little unyielding, and directly claimed the other party's praise. She fluttered her eyes and shook her head as she spoke, reaching out and brushing the hair on her right sideburn, revealing her tiny cochlea.
The sequence of movements is natural and fluid, and although the etiquette is very good, there is a little bit of a strange feeling.
Seeing the other party's reaction and expression, Pei Xiuzhi seemed to be a little surprised, and after a very short pause, he glanced at Chi Jingyuan and smiled, and then did not stay too long, and also praised Jiang Shiqi and Sun Sheng After finishing it, he waved his hand and shook his hair and left.
When Pei Xiuzhi's figure disappeared from his eyes, Ji Jingyuan felt a line of sight beside him looking at her, and turned his head to take a look, it was at this time that Pei Zhuhyun, whose smile had already converged a lot.
Pei Zhuhyun and Ji Jingyuan glanced at each other, smiled a lot, and pursed their lips very lightly, and then took the initiative to turn their heads to look to the side.
"Jingyuan, are you familiar with Suzy's senior?"
I don't know if I noticed the subtle atmosphere just now, Jiang Shiqi asked curiously after waiting for Pei Xiuzhi to walk away.
"Sort of, we've worked together ......."
Chi Jingyuan nodded and replied a little perfunctorily, as if he felt the dissatisfaction of the sister sitting next to him.
Although the last time she had her birthday, after knowing the vague relationship between the two, Pei Zhuhyun smiled and said quite seriously that Ji Jingyuan would have the opportunity to introduce her to Pei Xiuzhi in the future, and she looked like she wanted to make friends and be a good sister.
But Chi Jingyuan is not an idiot, even if it is a mouth
Actually, of course, I won't do that.
Judging from his understanding, what Bae Joo-hyun said in that mood, just listen to it in reverse.
However, the two are not in a relationship now, although their emotions may fluctuate a little, but they don't care so much about drilling the horns.
After chatting a few more words, Redvelvet needed to do the styling, and Ji Jingyuan was also called away by the assistant, and the stage background had been set up, ready for the pre-recording of the first stage.
Today's M! The first stage of "Eldorado" and "Spring Day" were performed with two songs, also all of which were set up in pre-recorded mode.
"El Dorado" is a dance song with some exotic styles in the tone, highlighting strong musical melodies, although it is only a collection of songs and no MV, but to be honest, from the perspective of Ji Jingyuan, this is a high-quality song above the average level, not losing the quality of the title song of some boy groups.
Because there is no MV and no choreography, after the announcement of the music source, it also caused a lot of discussion among the audience, and some fans liked the style and melody after listening to the passionate music, and left messages saying that they were very much looking forward to the live stage of this song, and it also caused heated discussions for a while.
[In view of the general environment,
The reason why such a song was arranged to be the included song of "X" was also the idea of slightly neutralizing the lyrical style of "Spring Day".
The set of the "El Dorado" stage is not complicated, mainly in the background display and lighting to render the atmosphere, and there is no difficulty in recording.
"Spring" is different, because of the emphasis on the title song, the company not only made a complete choreography for such a lyrical song, but also designed a lot of lens language and atmosphere embellishment for the first stage this time.
There are two sets set up for this performance, one is a pre-built waiting room, which is very similar to the MV, and the other is the formal stage, where Chi Jingyuan needs to record them all in two different backgrounds, and then edit and guide them to constantly switch scenes to create a more interesting lens language.
It's a bit similar to last year's "Dope" and last month's allbaby, both of which use transitions and shots to make the effect of the performance more lively and vivid, making the originally somewhat rigid stage more charming.
This kind of stage display is rare in the entire music industry, not to mention those small companies, even if it is not easy for large entertainment companies to achieve this effect, which is why EXO has always attached great importance to the lens language of the stage.
From turning off the lights to see the tree of life in "olf", to switching between the two teams in "Roaring Filial Piety", and now to "Spring", it can only be said that SM is indeed proficient in playing this thing.
"We rehearsed a few times to find out the state, and when there were no mistakes, we officially started the recording, and then we were all serious, the amount of colored paper prepared by the company is limited."
"Got it."
In the face of PD's guidance, the members of EXO nodded in response, and gently pressed a piece of black below, presumably from the fans who had entered the venue before dawn to see their pre-recording, beckoned, and began the rehearsal.
For the sake of effect, when the stage of "Spring Day" enters the chorus, pink colored paper will continue to fall from the ceiling, enveloping the entire stage like scattered cherry blossoms.
In order not to waste, it is better to get it right the first time.
Fortunately, although EXO was a lot more relaxed because of the excellent results of his return, he still practiced very hard and did not dare to relax, and he was already familiar with the dance and movement of the song, and there were no problems after rehearsing several times, and the official recording soon began.
"How does Yuanxi feel?"
After the stage pre-recording was completed, the members panted and thanked the staff for a while, and as soon as they stepped off the stage, they were caught by the staff sent by the company to shoot the tidbits, and a VJ carried a camera and pointed it at Chi Jingyuan and asked a question.
"Really...... I'm tired." Chi Jingyuan, who was dripping with sweat on his forehead and cheeks, took the toilet paper handed over by the assistant next to him and lightly dipped it on his face
Next, in the face of the question, he looked at the camera and smiled bitterly, saying his true feelings: "In order to achieve the best stage effect, it took five or six recordings to pass, and in the back, there is actually no strength left."
"It is said that the choreography of the song "Spring Day" was initiated and done by Yuanxi, so what was the idea for a lyric song? What do you think is the characteristic of this song?"
"Since it's the title song, of course you need to pay attention to it." Ji Jingyuan laughed and made a joke, and then seemed to recall, and his expression became a lot more serious: "Actually, it's because 'Spring Day' is not a regular lyrical song, it is a song that can show a different charm from XO in the past, with some alternative hiphop style, and when arranging it, it combines the sensibility of British rock with some electronic music."
"Because I wanted to show more complex attributes and emotions and improve some live stage effects, I still did a complete choreography...... And after all, we're a boy band, and dancing is our main business."
Ji Jingyuan's last sentence made VJ laugh, and after finishing the question, he went to find the other members, but Ji Jingyuan didn't stay here, and went back to the lounge to get a bottle of mineral water and start pouring it.
After a while, the members came back one by one, all tired, unable to find a place, and as soon as they sat down, they were paralyzed and too lazy to get up.
After a few sips of water, Ji Jingyuan put on his glasses, took out the game console and played, and then there was nothing to do except for a return interview and some special recordings, and they could rest until the start of the afternoon broadcast.
Playing songs is a real waste of time.
Pretty good.
…………
"I had the same dream again, the end of the endless desert."
"The dazzling and magnificent city disappears the moment before it touches it."
With a very distinctive, raindrops falling into an oasis, the voice of Do Hyun-so gently sang the lyrics of the first paragraph, making an excellent introduction to the stage of "El Dorado".
In the TV, the nine members of EXO stood in various corners of the stage scattered, all dark black jackets with light-colored lined singing costumes, dyeing the whole stage with a layer of depth and a bit of mystery.
The deep lighting and strange melody seem to pull every audience to the exotic desert thousands of miles away, and watch the nine people in front of them embark on a journey to find the golden country and find their own oasis.
The melody slowly changed from soft to exciting, and the original loose standing on the stage slowly tightened, and when it came to the Chi Jingyuan part, the volume suddenly became larger, and the accompaniment was surging, and the lights on the stage suddenly became extremely hot from cold tones, and the song entered the exciting chorus part.
"Shine ahead of us, towards a future that no one knows."
"Every step becomes a legend."
「TheEldorado.」
The neat dance is displayed on each member's body, and each person's part will quickly switch positions, back and forth but not simply repeated, which is a little dazzling to watch.
The lyrics and agitated melodies of Endeavor continue to stir people's emotions.
"What are you looking at?"
Suddenly there was a somewhat noisy voice next to him, which made Kim Taeyeon return to reality from the stage charm on TV, frowning lightly and looking at the source of the voice next to him with some dissatisfaction, Hwang Mi-young, who had just gone to make a phone call, didn't know when she sat next to her.
"Watch EXO's return to the stage today."
The emotions that had just been a little immersed disappeared, Kim Taeyeon pursed her lips and explained, and her eyes turned back to the TV, but the feeling of being a little burning with the melody and the stage just now was gone.
Girls' Generation is preparing for this year's album, and they have been debuting for 8 years, unless they return to the active period, even if they prepare for the album, they have bought properties and have their own social circles, and the young members will rarely live in the dormitory.
But yesterday they just released last year's Tokyo Dome concert
The MV and sound source of the ninth Japanese single will be released soon, and there will be a fan meeting to prepare for a while, so several members have returned to the dormitory in advance in the past few days, and the originally deserted room has become a lot more lively.
"Oh, yes, XO is back-to-back, I almost forgot." Huang Mi-young patted her head, sat next to her and looked at the huge display screen in front of her, she didn't seem to notice a trace of dissatisfaction from Taeyeon just now, and kept saying, "Their return last month was particularly good, but what about this month?"
"Make do with it, I can't say it's very good at the moment, anyway, I see a lot of people scolding on the Internet." Kim Taeyeon seemed to have paid special attention, and said without looking back.
"That's ...... But it's a good song, and the lyrics are good." Looking at the last part of the TV, Huang Meiying couldn't help but comment.
"A huge wave swept in, and we rose to the occasion again."
"Eventually, I will resist the Golden Land of Dreams."
「Sailsailsailgottagottagogo……」
Voices spread through the speakers, and the nine members of the TV stood on one side and posed for Endingpose, the screen gradually darkening amid cheers, and the return VCR began to play.
"It's really good."
Kim Taeyeon nodded, then squinted her eyes and looked over, "It's just that you've been talking nonsense there, making no atmosphere."
"Hehe......" was criticized on the spot, but Huang Meiying was not annoyed at all, squinted her eyes and sat closer with a smile.
"What are you looking at?"
「《M! C》? Oh, there's EXO's comeback today, I remember, how did Taeyeon remember to watch this?"
At this time, several voices and footsteps came, and Kwon Yoo-ri and Kim Hyo-yeon, who had just moved back to the dormitory this afternoon, walked out of the room next to them and sat on the sofa.
The reason why I watched the stage of EXO this time is because when I heard the song "Spring Day", Kim Taeyeon found that the style of this song was very much my appetite, and the lyricism she liked was not simply lyrical, but mixed with many styles such as rock and roll, which sounded pleasant and had a strong sense of novelty.
At the same time, the emotions expressed and the high-quality and beautiful MV are all things she hopes to see in the solo that she has thought about many times, and the song "Spring Day" is still Ji Jingyuan participated in the production and creation, which also makes her feel very interested, I want to see the stage for the first time, I want to see the level of this scheduled producer, and see if I can learn what elements can be used in my future solo.
"Jingyuan's song is supportive, and I think it's pretty good."
However, Kim Taeyeon did not say the reason, but casually found a reason to explain.
At present, she is the only one who has determined her solo schedule.,Although the other members didn't say it explicitly, she knew that they actually had some opinions.,To be honest, it's useless and it will make people have other ideas.。
Huang Meiying smiled and didn't speak, the two next to her nodded, and as the VCR was played, the stage of "Spring Day" began to become quiet, and she sat on the sofa and watched it seriously.
In a backdrop that resembles a station waiting room, the nine EXO members are gathered together with their backs to the camera, and the warm lights shine on it, making it look soft and bright.
"I miss you."
"After I said it, I missed you even more."
With a surging sad atmosphere, the prelude that lingered in people's ears for a long time after listening to it sounded, and under the opening of Kim Junmian, the stage officially began.
After the opening pose, the people who were still huddled together just now all dispersed instantly, the lights changed to a slightly reddish color, and several members appeared on the screen in turn, in a one-shot manner, singing their parts while following the chase of the camera, while showing the entire waiting room.
At the end of the main song, Do Junxiu stood up from the chair and watched the camera guide the screen body to slowly retreat and retreat to a closed door
In front of the door, he turned around and gently opened the door, and some dazzling backlight and bursts of smoke immediately appeared from the other side of the door, which made people's eyes flash, and all eyes were occupied by light and smoke.
In the next second, both of them dispersed, and as soon as the camera turned, the background on the screen had changed from the waiting room just now to the official stage.
"The snowflakes are falling, and they are leaving little by little."
"I miss you."
"I miss you."
"I miss you.
The two different backgrounds are not abrupt under the editing, the design of the door opening and the smoke makes the transition very perfect, the picture flashes, and Chi Jingyuan in the C position takes over the melody and directly starts the part of his chorus, and all the members who have just dispersed are also concentrated around him, and start a neat group dance.
The headlights of the ceiling hang down from the ceiling, and the headlights are covered with countless cherry blossoms and leaf curtains to emit bursts of pink light, combined with the yellow light balls extending from the leaf curtains, the station has disappeared in winter, and the whole stage seems to have entered the season of flowers.
EXO's costume for the first stage this time is exactly the same as in the MV, Ji Jingyuan is wearing a pure white striped turtleneck sweater covered with a black jacket, the pure black short hair in the primary color is distant and deep, the bangs are slightly changing in front of his forehead with the dance, his expression is slightly sad in front of the camera, and he seems to be a little unable to bear it and bend down to cover his side face.
"How many more nights?"
"What can I do with you?"
"What can I do with you?"
When it came to the lyrics of this paragraph, Ji Jingyuan straightened up, and the nine members jumped on the spot at the same time, and the other eight people formed a circle around the city with Chi Jingyuan as the center, and then the large group retreated towards the left side of the stage as a whole, and the whole began to translate.
In the accompaniment and singing section, they moved to the far left side of the stage, and after doing a few movements, the group turned around and jumped on the spot again, and returned to the right side of the stage neatly.
At the same time, petal-shaped colored paper splattered from the ceiling, like pink snowflakes and pure cherry blossoms like snow, and the rain of flowers gently drifted over the stage, slicing over the faces of each member, condensing with their movements, and melting with their dance.
"This stage design is really beautiful......
"The choreography is also very distinctive, and the movement of this large group is really comfortable to watch."
"The company is really attentive......
Huang Miying and Kim Hyo-yeon couldn't help but sigh directly after seeing the stage of the chorus, and their voices were not lacking in surprise.
I thought that the stage of the lyric song was just a few people standing on it and singing, but I didn't expect this "Spring Day" to be played by them out of flowers, and it was a group dance and a pseudo-shot in the end and it was raining flowers, even with their young eyes, they couldn't help but experience a sense of surprise from it.
Kim Taeyeon didn't know when she put a pillow in her arms, sat on the sofa and leaned forward slightly, looking at the stage on TV seriously, without saying a word.
After the end of the first chorus, Wu Shixun was given a close-up of the super close-up, and after two seconds, the camera pulled away, and the picture naturally returned to the opening station.
After repeating the main chorus, the door opens again to guide the camera, and the smoke fills the stage again.
Although the background switches back and forth, it will not make the audience feel abrupt and frequent at all, and on top of the lens language, it will make the effect of the whole stage much more vivid, and the different backgrounds of the waiting station and the stage reflect different feelings and implied meanings.
In the last chorus, the lighting behind him changed from a simple pink to a rainbow-like streamer, and the cherry blossom colored paper that had just been floating scattered just now splashed down, filling the entire stage in an instant.
If the flower rain just now was just a sporadic light snow, this moment is a real goose feather snow.
In this atmosphere, they are no longer colored paper, and what falls in the air is pink snow, and what falls on the ground, gently floating and falling with the footsteps, is the real flower.
"Stay until the end of the year."
"Stay
By the time the flowers bloom."
"Just wait for me right there."
"Wait for me there.
At this moment, the spring day of the blooming season came here.
The stage bathed in the rain of flowers is full of romantic and beautiful colors, and the pink headlights and colorful lighting make people feel a little unreal, and several people included in the flowers seem to be in a dream.
Kim Taeyeon, who was in front of the TV, saw the last part where the entire stage effect was sublimated at the end, and a strong sense of amazement filled her heart.
Kwon Yoo-ri may not know, but as a close friend who often chats and communicates with Ji Jingyuan, she knows some things, and she knows that the arrangement, lyrics, choreography, production and stage design of "Spring Day" have Ji Jingyuan's participation in a certain extent, which can be said to be ubiquitous and influential.
Looking at the end of the performance and the EXO members who posed as Endingpose, Kim Taeyeon came back to her senses from the somewhat immersive stage, and inexplicably remembered what she talked about at the last dinner, and secretly pursed her lips, feeling a little unhappy and emotional:
"It's really speechless, I would envy a junior......
