Chapter 57: The Music Bank
Listening to the straightforward and sweet lyrics, following the strong rhythm and pleasant melody, Bae Joo-hyun stood alone at the entrance of the backstage, holding a script in her left hand and a microphone in her right hand, her body shook gently with the music, her head kept pointing with the beat, and the long brown hair on both sides of her cheeks was also shaking, which showed her enjoyment and devotion to the stage at this time.
Even if she can't see the pre-recorded video on the big screen clearly from her perspective at this time, even if the stage of EXO can't see the front clearly, she can only see the back, but it doesn't affect her excellent mood at this time, as well as a strong sense of substitution for the lyrics and performance.
From the title of the song to every lyric, she can't help but have a feeling in her ears that these are all written about herself, and every sentence is something she says to herself.
She looked at the back of Chi Jingyuan, who had withdrawn from the C position and retreated to the back of the stage to dance with the formation, not far from her, tilting her head and the stars in her eyes:
What did you say yourself......
In addition to Bae Joo-hyun, this is also the most real mood of many Aili and the audience who are watching the live broadcast of "Music Bank" at this time, in addition to the rhythm and melody are very brainwashing and good-sounding, it will really make them have a strong sense of substitution.
It's like my first love, who is telling about the attachment and ignorance in my heart, telling about the experience they once had together, and expressing the emotions in my heart directly, I only feel that my heart is full of sweetness and warmth.
Everyone seems to be able to find their own positioning and role here, which is also an important reason why the word-of-mouth and listening are not the main song, but the word-of-mouth and listening overshadow the main song.
After "Orientation Sniper", it was followed by the stage of the title song "LHT" this time.
Half of the members are blue American-style high school uniforms, and the other half have no coats, but only wear pure white shirts with red and black ties, and blue jeans.
and a strong boyfriend style.
They were divided into three columns, each of which three people stood neatly on the stage and posed for the opening ceremony.
“oh yeah,e on!”
“take your time.”
"An inexplicable night."
Du Junxiu opened the first sentence, and the tactful introduction of the voice pulled the audience who had not yet concentrated into the performance, and the exo9 people who were originally standing in three rows exploded like fireworks in an instant, and they dispersed to the entire stage within a second, and began to follow the sound source to start flexible rhythm and neat dance.
The accompaniment and arrangement are a blend of classical instrumental music and modern electronic music, the guitar and bass complement each other perfectly, and the brass instruments accentuate the whole arrangement, which has a strong sense of rhythm and a delicate and gentle demeanor.
Although this song still shows the complexity and frequent stage shifts that EXO has been touted by fans for a long time, every time he changes formations, it is as dazzling as a butterfly wearing flowers.
But all in all, the overall dance movements are actually not difficult, and they are relatively simple in all the main dance music of EXO, the dance movements are delicate and generous, and the ups and downs of the swings and kicks seem to have some Broadway classical opera style, with the simplest and most straightforward dance to show their own charm and surging emotions in their hearts.
“oh!”
"This path is an extended runway."
"Look at me with a galaxy in my eyes."
“just lht,uh huh,baby lht uh huh”
"Come to me, don't hesitate, you are my enchanting charm."
“just lht,uh huh”
"My universe is all you."
As soon as the song opened, there was a joyful and relaxed atmosphere brewing on the whole stage, and even more so in the chorus, from the beginning to the present, everyone has a sunny and soft smile on their faces, which is pleasing to the eye.
During the rehearsal of this song, the dance teacher and the producer kept repeating that everyone must laugh more when performing on stage, and that they must not be greasy and exaggerated, and they must smile beautifully, and the original words are 'how you laugh at your girlfriend or family, you laugh on stage'.
Even though it wasn't difficult to laugh at all, they still rehearsed for a long time for the best stage effect.
At this time, the audience appreciated the unique charm of this song.
Nine handsome big boys wearing school uniforms or white shirts, with a strong college style and a very juvenile feeling, smile brightly and sincerely at you, the corners of the mouth and the curved arc of the eyebrows seem to turn straight into your heart, with a cheerful and relaxed tone and generous and neat dance, a sincere enthusiasm from the heart comes to the face, like a summer breeze with a strong sense of joy, and the heart can't help but surge a surge of happiness.
After all, dance music still depends on the stage, and you really can't appreciate this kind of charm that makes people smile just by listening to the song.
The single lyric in the chorus part is constantly looping, and although the 'lht' of the whole song is repeated many times in the whole song, it does not seem verbose and redundant under the catchy melody, but adds to the brainwashing and toxicity.
“yea you love me.”
“yea you love me.”
"My universe is all you."
Under the core lyrics of the last song, the whole song stage ends, and the progress of the live TV and the live stage is a little different, and before the performance ends in the live broadcast, the live EXO has already left the stage first, and the next group of artists who have been waiting for a long time have also appeared at this time.
When Ji Jingyuan walked into the backstage, he glanced at the smiling Bae Joo-hyun, and quickly returned to the lounge to start changing clothes, and soon after the last stage was over, he came up to preside over the first award presentation of his MC.
"It's great, the stage for both songs is nice."
Dressed in a white shirt and slacks again, Ji Jingyuan took the script and microphone from the staff and walked back to the exit of the backstage, not long after standing still, Bae Joo-hyun next to him smiled and whispered a compliment to him.
"Hehe......" Chi Jingyuan chuckled and didn't say much, and looked at Jinusean, who was performing on the stage at this time, and was the last guest to appear in today's issue of "Music Bank".
Today, EXO is back, and the reason why they can't be the last to take the stage with their popularity is because Jinusean, a big senior group, has returned to play songs during this time.
This group is a two-person hophop group launched by YG company in 1997, the frequency of activities is not high, but the popularity was good at the time, and after so many years, the two members of this group are not only artists anymore, I don't know how much work has been spent on becoming the director of YG company, both income and status have increased a lot.
I just don't know if I have integrated into YG's corporate culture as a director.
Chi Jingyuan looked at the two seniors who sang and danced with a group of companions, and was very curious.
Their return to the song this time is very interesting, the studio version of the return single "Tell Me Again" studio version of the feat, looking for Zhang Hannah of the same company, but only in the first week of singing the stage is with Zhang Hannah, and the subsequent weekly songs are cooperating with different female artists to make gimmicks, and today's cooperation is 2NE1's Park Shan Dora.
is worthy of being a director, and his connections are quite extensive.
"Which song do you prefer?" After watching it for a while, Ji Jingyuan asked Pei Zhuhyun in a low voice.
There were stumbling and messy voices from behind, Bae Joo-hyun glanced back, because it had reached the stage of the last song, all the artists and idols who participated in the performance today came out of the lounge and waited at the entrance of the stage studio, at this time, both sides of the corridor were already standing with idols, and they were whispering with their teammates and acquaintances, although everyone's voice could be very low, but it still sounded a little noisy when so many people gathered together.
She also saw that her members were standing not far behind her, pointing in the direction of her and Ji Jingyuan with a few people on the side, smiling narrowly and not knowing what to say.
But you don't have to hear it with your own ears, Bae Joo-hyun just guesses what they're talking about.
There was a group of female idols standing behind him, and they seemed to be looking at the two of them from behind, Pei Zhuhyun was not too direct to say, just pursed his mouth at Ji Jingyuan, who was aiming at him, opened his mouth slightly to make a few lip shapes but did not make a sound, and after finishing speaking, he tilted his head and blinked specifically.
Ji Jingyuan couldn't help laughing when he saw it, Bae Joo-hyun's mouth shape was not the name of the song, but the words 'You are my orientation sniper'.
is worthy of being a sister in the year, and she looks so good-looking when she gets straightforward.
When the Jinusean stage was about to end, under the notice of PD, all the artists except MC took the lead on the stage, standing behind them and dancing the last short part with Jinusean, which can be regarded as a great face for the two directors.
"Raw broadcast, Music Bank! The handsome stage with all the performers has come to an end......"
After the stage officially ended and the music stopped, Ji Kyung-won and Bae Joo-hyun returned to the stage under the beat of BGM's drums and the cheers of the audience below, standing in the front center of all the artists, and began to preside over the next award.
"In the first week of May 2015, "Music Bank" is about to announce today's first place, EXID and EXO, who will be the first place? Look at the scores! ”
Under the guidance of Chi Jingyuan, the live broadcast camera switched to the screen of score settlement.
Although EXO can still appear in the top three or one alternate of several singing shows from time to time, to be honest, the competitiveness of the latest popular groups is already a little insufficient, but it still has a place here in "Music Bank" by virtue of its long-term sales scores.
Exid, an unknown lake group that Chi Jingyuan once saw by chance on the side of the road trying to do a street roadshow, has become one of the most concerned girl groups in the entire peninsula since last year's sound source counterattack incident, and the song "Up and Down" that made them popular has been out for more than half a year and has long passed the singing period, but this song can still often appear in the TOP20 list of major singing programs, which shows its amazing durability and popularity.
When they became famous and entered the public's field of vision, fans and passers-by were surprised to find, 'Wow, why is the lead singer of this group so powerful?' ''Hani's stage performance is simply amazing''''The strength of this group is really good' and other characteristics, in all kinds of rainbow farts as for sighing and dusting, lamenting why didn't they find this treasure girl group earlier.
But who knew that this was a girl group that was on the verge of disbanding when no one watched the roadshow last year, and there were few people who didn't even cheer.
But in fact, the exid people are still those few people, and their strength and expressiveness cannot improve by leaps and bounds in such a short period of time, all the reasons are just because of the fire.
It's just that although their comeback title song "Ah yes" this time has achieved good results, Ji Jingyuan feels a little strange after listening to it.
No matter how he listened, he felt that this song, whether it was the melody or the song structure, sounded too similar to the previous song "Up and Down", that is, a few places were changed, and the others were almost carved out of a mold.
Maybe this is the unique style of their group.
Source Score ......
"Audience favorability ......"
"Then the first division of today's glory ......"
"Exid, Crude Kamida ......"
The ribbon floated down, Ji Jingyuan and Bae Joo-hyun announced one of today's winners together, and the interesting thing is that today's EXID final award has not yet come, but after coming to record a stage before, he left first because of the schedule.
"We'll definitely pass the trophy to them."
If a winner is not present, there will be a KBS staff to hand it over, Ji Jingyuan raised a trophy in his hand and shook it, and then looked at Bae Joo-hyun next to him: "Irene Xi, how does it feel to be the premiere of MC today?" ”
Behind Ji Jingyuan happened to be standing the members of EXO, at this time, these people applauded and congratulated a winner, and looked at Ji Jingyuan and Bae Joo-hyun standing in front of them with a smile, Park Chanyeol and Kim Jong-in glanced at each other with strange smiles, and gently pointed at the backs of the two when the camera line of sight was blocked, and their eyes conveyed a playful atmosphere.
They really feel that it is really comic to see two people who are suspected of being ambiguous or in a relationship at this time, standing side by side here as MC, looking at each other and interacting with each other.
They can't wait to try it with the female ticket.
Red Velvet can't stand in the first row because of their seniority and popularity, and they are also clapping their hands happily behind the side of the EXO, looking at their own captains and deceased seniors with enthusiasm on their faces but different eyes.
"Well, I've always been on stage as a singer, but today I'm here as a mc, so I'm really excited and excited. Yuan Xi is also the first time to act as a MC today, and I should be nervous, right? But he still guided me very well in terms of hosting, and I am really grateful for it. Bae Joo-hyun turned around and Ji Jingyuan looked at each other, and she expressed her gratitude after a sentence of sincere concern.
"Ani, I'm really grateful to be standing here, Irene Xi has helped me a lot and relieved a lot of tension, Kangsanmida." Eyes interacted, saying words of thanks, Ji Jingyuan and Bae Joo-hyun looked at each other for two seconds, and after blinking, they tacitly turned back to face the camera at the same time, and said together in a synchronized and harmonious voice: "We will also wait for you in "Music Bank" in the future, please love and support each other." ”
"Inside, we will work harder for the spread of the show and kpop!"
"See you next week!"
In the end, Ji Jingyuan and Bae Joo-hyun did not move their feet again, but their upper bodies were tilted and bent together, and they each posed a cute pose, saying the iconic conclusion:
"When you need music, live broadcast, musik!"
"Ahh......hh
Seeing this scene, the audience below couldn't help but scream again, but the ending was a little heartwarming.
After the concluding remarks, the camera took a panoramic view at the end, and the live broadcast officially ended, and the two turned around and saluted each other with the guest artists behind.
After saying goodbye to the audience, everyone retreated to the backstage and waited, and after the singing show ended, there was basically a link to thank the staff of the program team, which was very simple to stand on both sides of the corridor and return to the backstage PD and staff to say hello, the process was very short, and it was a form of etiquette.
However, when waiting for each other to stand on both sides of the corridor while chatting and meeting their eyes, it is also a good time for many male and female idols to contact and get to know each other, look at each other or exchange contact information.
Although he hasn't tried it, according to the members' popular science, as long as there are responsive eyes and expressions, and then exchange contact information through a friend's introduction, it is easy and quick to develop a relationship.
It's just that the relationship in this case shouldn't be too long.
"Hahaha......" When the two of them returned to the backstage and stood at the front, the XO members who were closest to them sat over laughing and patted Ji Jingyuan's shoulder, and Wu Shixun also raised an eyebrow at him: "How do you feel?" ”
"You'll know when you do." Ji Jingyuan looked at He Exo and saluted gently, and then greeted Bae Joo-hyun, who was not far away from Red Velvet, and replied casually.
"I'm not talking about being a MC...... Never mind. Wu Shixun retorted, didn't ask much when he saw that the occasion was wrong, and stood there with a few other brothers laughing and chatting quietly.
It didn't take long for the staff at the scene of "Music Bank" to come back, and PD Han Kyung-chul also came out to leak his face, and dispersed with each other after the artists saluted and said a few words of 'hard work', and after Ji Jingyuan and Kim Junmian whispered, they followed Han Kyung-chul and them to a conference room of the program group with Bae Joo-hyun.
I have already told them before that the MC needs to have a small meeting with the program team after the end to summarize whether there is any problem with today's host, or if there is anything that needs to be paid attention to and improved.
But there shouldn't be anything wrong with looking at Han Jingzhe's expression, as soon as he came in, he changed his usual serious expression, laughed happily a few times, looked at the two mcs standing there very right, and applauded happily and self-assuredly:
"The real-time ratings have been counted, and they have reached twice the usual 1.4% at the beginning of the broadcast, and even 2.0% after the end, which is close to three times the average rating before."
"In the past, the number of viewers will decrease significantly when it comes to the MC transition and hosting, indicating that many viewers are not interested in the MC's hosting and lines at all, and they are all watching the idol stage performance. But this is not the case in today's issue, and the time period when the ratings have risen relatively large has appeared in the link hosted by our MC, which shows that Yuan Xi and Irene Xi are doing really well and attracting the audience. ”
......As the PD set the tone, several creators and staff in the conference room applauded happily, obviously very satisfied with the immediate results today.
Although the skyrocketing ratings actually has a lot to do with the recent explosion of popularity on the first stage of the exo return, according to the backstage statistics and analysis, this has also played a very obvious role in the MC.
"Consanmida." Ji Jingyuan and Bae Joo-hyun glanced at each other, and at the same time smiled and stood up and saluted.
Han Jingzhe looked at the two and added with satisfaction:
"Today's issue is enough to prove that we made the right change, and it also proves that our MC selection is completely correct!"
……
"Is there a mistake?"
However, after the live broadcast of "Music Bank" ended, many fans of XO quarreled on the Internet:
"Assi, what kind of lake coffee is Irene, why is she partnering with us, Xiba's way of seeing her holding Oba's hand and laughing, I can't wait to tear her face apart!"
