Chapter Seventy-Two: The Concert

"This is a change of clothes? This outfit is really good, I haven't seen enough. ”

Seeing that the VCR began to play on the big screen again, Zheng Endi, who knew that it was the transition to the costume change link, was a little dissatisfied and muttered.

After making a big hit with "Luv" at the end of last year, Apink adjusted the focus of the group's work at the beginning of this year under the company's operation, and in addition to holding its first concert, most of its energy and time were focused on neon activities, and only released their second Japanese single in February, and recently prepared for the release of their third Japanese single.

Because the focus of the activity shifted and they didn't strike while the iron was hot, their popularity on the peninsula side dropped a bit, but as for the results on the neon side, it was okay......

And these two days are considered before the return of Neon, and I can take two days off to adjust my mood in my busy schedule, so I simply went to watch Exo's concert with three interested members.

Naturally, she asked Chi Jingyuan for the ticket, but she didn't want to face the position in the front row, so she specially picked a more comfortable 45-degree angle on the first floor of the stand.

"Three or four songs and a change of costumes is not the management of most concerts."

Wu Xiarong, who was sitting relatively close, looked a little excited, his face was flushed, and the bangs on his forehead became a little messy, and he looked at the VCR playing on the big screen and said: "But their outfit is really good, and the lighting effect is really amazing." ”

"I also think that this stage and lighting design is very powerful, SM really has a hand, I don't know which team designed it."

"The last time I heard Jing Yuan say that it seems to be a collaboration between their company and a well-known team in the United States, and the members of their EXO have already put forward a lot of opinions......"

Knowing some of the situation, Zheng En briefly explained, and then smacked his lips with some envy: "I don't know when our company will be able to do a better job." ”

"Don't mention these, isn't it good to look at handsome guys?"

"It's ......"

Sun Na-eun sat there without speaking, listening to the members' discussions, smiling and looking at the VCR. Although she has been in a relationship with Chi Jingyuan and has always been a little reluctant and in love, but after all, she has been separated for so long, and she happened to meet EXO the day after tomorrow last year, she also used the lyrics of "Luv" to hint at a wave of attack, and then took the initiative to send a message to ask him out, the intention is already very obvious, but unfortunately although Chi Jingyuan saw it, he either did not reply, or he politely refused.

So she also understood what the other party meant, and after the loss, she tried not to be entangled.

And in fact, it was originally a few months of dating, and the relationship was not deep enough for him to be, just because of the other party's excellence, she inevitably had a feeling that she had been in trouble.

Of course, even so, the other party still has a very special position in her heart, and she always wants to pay attention to it from time to time.

"It's out!"

"This dress ......"

Zheng Eundi whispered, VCR finished playing, as the music played, the screen door slowly opened, and EXO, who had changed into a cartoon clown overalls, re-entered the stage and continued to perform from "Peter Pan".

"X who kisses quietly is kiss, and o who hugs tightly is hug."

From "Peter Pan" to "Xoxo", they are all classic included tracks in the EXO's regular album, but the response from fans is very strong, and they will shout loudly every time they reach the rhythm point, but people in the circle of apink obviously can't get the points of these songs, and after watching it for a while, Kim Nam-joo leaned into his ear and commented: "These songs are obviously not as handsome as before." ”

"Don't you hear how good the atmosphere is? People sing these songs to fans, are you a fan? Wu Xiarong glanced at her.

"Of course yes, I'm still Yuan's girlfriend fan and variety show fan......"

"Hahaha...... Hey, what are they doing? Changing clothes directly on the spot? Without laughing twice, Wu Xiarong exclaimed twice, and saw the movements on the stage and slapped her twice with his hand.

I saw that after the end of "XOXO", I began to enter the stage of "Lucky", at this time, a huge long screen was pushed up by the staff behind the stage, and all the EXO who had sung in various positions before walked to the back of the screen, and under the special lighting, the shadow was faintly reflected on the screen, and the image of everyone changing clothes could be clearly seen.

"Ahhh......h

Obviously, it was not only them, this link directly made all the fans immediately excited, the screams seemed to be able to pierce the eardrums, round eyes open, slightly open mouth salivating at the screen on the stage, excited to jump up.

It's a pity that the light only lasted less than two seconds before disappearing, and the reflection suddenly became a lake, making many Ellie swallow their saliva unsatisfactorily.

However, when I saw the nine people standing up from behind the screen, showing their heads and shaking them constantly, happily singing the already lively song "Lucky", I couldn't help but laugh and sink into the charm of the music and the stage with them.

At the end of the song, Chi Jingyuan, who had changed into pink bib pants, tore the screen from behind at the same time, and ran to the stage amid screams, and when the music seamlessly connected to the song "3.6.5", everyone picked up the plastic basket full of small gifts that had been placed next to them before, and while singing, they ran to the area that had been divided before, and distributed the gifts in the box to the fans.

It's just the candy and snacks specially prepared by some companies, which are not very valuable, mainly to interact with fans, which represents some hearts.

And Chi Jingyuan's area just included Zhou Ziyu's side, he actually remembered the other party's position at a glance just now, when he passed by the edge of the stage, he glanced over there, and saw Zhou Ziyu waving at him with a smile Looking very expectant, he lowered his head and turned it in the basket slightly, grabbed a handful of candy and threw it in the direction next to Zhou Ziyu, just completely staggered her position.

He walked forward without hesitation, and at the same time smiled in his heart, and he could fully imagine what the girl's expression was now.

Chi Jingyuan had no restraint, and just walked a few steps before the candy in the basket was almost finished, and the half-empty basket was half a circle around the field, but the fans were not disappointed at all after seeing it, but stood up excitedly, approached the stage and stretched out his hand frantically to clapping and interacting with him, Chi Jingyuan also smiled brightly, patted all the way, and his hands were patted a little painful.

Back on the stage, the other members had already come back and stood in a row and began to enter the chat session, he took out the last specially reserved toffee, opened the package and put it in his mouth, stood next to the team and ate it comfortably in front of the audience.

The sudden camera gave him a big close-up, and in the middle of the big screen, Chi Jingyuan's left cheek was propped up by toffee, and he didn't find it when he was photographed, and he was lazy there, which immediately caused a burst of laughter and cheers.

After a short break through chat interaction, it quickly moved on to the next performance.

"First Snow", "Spring", "Miracle of December"

Each song is a classic song that is familiar to fans, and the name of the song immediately comes to their minds when the prelude of any beginning sounds.

Two of the songs represent the glory of EXO in the past, and "Spring Day", which is still at the top of the music charts, represents their return to the top.

Even ordinary passers-by who didn't know much about EXO before, just because they were curious and had fun, or who were pulled over by friends and family to watch the concert, could hum along to the pleasant tune and enjoy the gentle and timeless atmosphere.

Especially in "The Miracle of December", when all the other members changed their costumes, only Chi Jingyuan and the other four lead singers were left standing quietly on the lifting platform and slowly rising, bowing their heads and singing softly with a calm expression.

Many old fans who are too involved can hardly suppress the urge to cry, and even their eyes begin to reddened when they hear the prelude and the first sentence of the opening, and they look at the four people on the stage stupidly, and can't help but think of the happiest days when they used to like this group.

It's a pity that "The Miracle of December", which represents twelve people, can't go back, twelve people have become nine, and there is one less lead singer.

It is precisely because of this that the feeling of incompleteness and regret makes this song more profound and has become a pain point for many Ellie.

Zhou Ziyu looked at Chi Jingyuan, who was very close to her, with clear eyes, the other party stood on the lifting platform, lowered his head, held a microphone, and sang the low melody of North Korea in a clear voice, and she also opened her mouth slightly, and sang along from the whole process to the present:

"Now I wish I could have been without ......"

"This awkward superpower."

She likes the song "December Miracle" very much, she listened to it many times when it first came out in 13 years, and she remembers the lyrics of both the Chinese and Korean versions clearly, and also made a small video of singing the Chinese version of the song with her friends.

After Ji Jingyuan sang the last sentence, the stage ended, and the slightly sad atmosphere of "The Miracle of December" lingered in the venue, = many of the audience seemed to be still immersed in a somewhat low mood, and even the support became a little quieter.

However, as the lights dimmed and turned on, the four lead singers who had just performed had already left the stage, and Park Chanyeol, who had changed his clothes just now, walked back to the stage.

"Wow, everyone must go crazy from now on, let's play a game together......"

He took the microphone and reached out to the audience at the halftime and the top of the hill and waved his hand: "Friends on the second and third floors, stand up!" ”

“ye~”

Many fans were interested and responded loudly together.

"Ahem......" Park Chanyeol cleared his throat and raised the microphone: "I say ex, you say o!" ”

“ex……”

“o!”

“ex……”

He first gave a demonstration, and when he said it a second time, when Park Chanyeol said the first two syllables again, all the audience immediately gave a very enthusiastic response, shouting the "o" sound neatly and loudly.

"Louder!"

“i say ex,you say o!”

“ex……”

“o!”

“ex……”

“o!”

“ok,lets go!” With his loud command, the lights that had been quiet just now instantly became colorful, and suddenly injected an incomparably fresh mood into the atmosphere that had become somewhat quiet because of the lyrical songs.

The strong rhythm and drum beat were restless, and a diamond-shaped DJ center console in the center of the stage slowly descended from the sky in the middle of the six-pointed star elevator that had been raised, Park Chanyeol walked to the center console and stood up, while several members who had changed their clothes in advance walked to the stage from different passages, Kim Junmian took the microphone and shouted loudly: "Are you ready to play?"

"Relatives on the second and third floors, come together!"

As the EXO members agitated, the rhythm and drum beat became stronger and faster, and it finally came out when it made people's blood swell.

“ jump! jump! jump! jump! exo! ”

“ jump! jump! jump! jump! we are…… exo! ”

Several members jumped directly on the stage, each time they were extremely hard, singing straightforward and exciting lyrics into the microphone, while the other hand kept waving the gestures that only a rapper can have, and the scene that had been brewing for a long time fell into boiling in an instant, so that the audience who was mobilized by all emotions immediately got an excellent cathartic point.

After a large section of Park Chanyeol's rap, Ji Jingyuan, who had just finished performing and changed his clothes, also appeared on the stage through the elevator, and the pillar of light that was specially hit clearly saw that he jumped up from the yellow elevator to the stage, and seamlessly connected to the performance with a microphone: "Raise your hands high, raise your hands high"

"Hands up, hands high"

"Hands up, hands high"

“ohree exo drp that!”

“ jump! jump! jump! jump! exo! ”

“ jump! jump! jump! jump! we are…… exo! ”

Seeing the several lead singers of Chi Jingyuan on stage, the support and screams in the stadium, which was already like cooking oil, were raised to a higher level again.

Dressed in a plain black suit with a white shirt and no buttons or tie, he sang and jumped and ran up the stage...... Surrounded by colorful lights, blue, green, red, and brilliant laser rays dazzle the entire stadium, and the diamond-shaped center console is constantly changing colors.

Intense drumbeats, passionate rhythms, loud crowds, restless spectators, and crazy young men on stage directly transformed the entire gymnastics arena into an oversized fiery nightclub.

Chi Jingyuan, who appeared later, also wore flat shoes with a circle of LEDs wrapped around the edge of their shoes that emit white light, which were very conspicuous and trendy under the dim lighting and colorful light.

At this time, all the audience has already been fully engaged and intoxicated into this hot atmosphere that makes people enjoy and can't stop, and the fans on the second and third floors have long been unable to hold back the excitement in their hearts, and they stand up with EXO on the stage, jumping up and down in place, and every time they get to the part that needs to respond, they will shout out the syllable with all their might, this song they have not heard has made them deeply immersed in it, and it is rare to see EXO have this style of song, and the whole scene seems to be about to explode.

This "Drop That" is a single that EXO has not yet officially released, and it has not been included in the official second album "EXO-L", the company expects to add Japanese lyrics to it, and then include it in the neon album to be released in the second half of the year.

However, it did not prevent him from singing in advance at this concert.

This song changed from the usual cool and handsome style of exo and went straight to the passionate nightclub style, listening to a style similar to some of Bigbang's songs, not caring about the melody or lyrics, the only purpose is to blow up the atmosphere and make everyone jump and burn.

Looking at it at this time, the effect is really good.

In the second half, the three lead singers consciously walked back to the middle of the stage, starting with Du Junxiu, and substituting the songs that had been purely shouting into the moving melody: "Maybe I dream every day by leaning on the moon." ”

"Look at each other, think about the sun and the moon, me and you!"

Then it was Bian Baekhyun's turn, and his last elongated note had already raised the tone to a certain height, and the notes of the two parts were higher than the other.

Until the last Chi Jingyuan, he stood on the raised lifting platform, with the overflowing center console and the huge screen behind him, and the whole person sang the last treble with great enthusiasm:

"Throw it into this suffocating world and make crazy waves."

"Are you ready to change the world......

Each syllable is at the highest place, and the high pitch that seems to penetrate the clouds instantly resounded through the ceiling, three-dimensional around everyone's ears, like a flowing waterfall pure and thorough, but not idle at all harsh.

The final coda was stretched for ten seconds, and even Ji Jingyuan had exhausted all his strength, standing on the lifting platform, his feet arched in front of him and in the back, and his eyes were closed and he was extremely engaged in controlling the way he breathed and sounded.

The dazzling colored lights, the burning atmosphere, the sweat stains on the forehead, sideburns and the bridge of the nose, the unbuttoned open neckline, the somewhat dazzling figure against the light, the dazzling and hearty smile, the slightly revealing green muscles, the serious and focused expression, the radiant sci-fi style flat shoes, with the straight black suit, this look very formal and serious match makes Chi Jingyuan at this time seem to have a very contrasting charm, coupled with the shocking and impressive high-pitched singing, At this moment, Chi Jingyuan has completely become the only focus in the entire venue, whether it is an idol or a fan, he can't take his eyes off it at all.

It wasn't until the end of the long tail note that he was ten seconds later, he stood up straight as if venting, waved his left hand vigorously, the corners of his mouth were upturned, the eyes in the close-up contained excitement, fanaticism and obvious enjoyment, and the whole person's temperament changed significantly.

Seeing this scene, many fans only felt as if they had been hit by an electric current, and the whole person was directly crispy.

“hey~hey~hey~hey~,exo!”

“hey~hey~hey~hey~we are……”

“exo!”

In the last sentence of the frantic response of the audience, this song "Drop That", which made everyone jump up and step into the peak of excitement, ended here, screaming one after another, many people looked at Chi Jingyuan who walked down from the lifting platform, sweating and panting, recalling the three trebles that he and the other two lead singers had just made people tremble, and their hearts were full of lingering and reluctance for a while.

"Is this a new song? What is your name? ”

"I haven't heard it, isn't it a regular song, the style is really handsome......"

Many fans began to whisper about this song that people will not forget after hearing it.

"Hey, Jingyuan is really ...... I don't know how to say ......."

After watching this stage, Jiang Shiqi's eyes were shining, and he was a little speechless for a while.

The stage performance itself can greatly amplify the personal charm of idols, and many idols with average appearance and stature will attract people's attention very much in the right stage.

And Chi Jingyuan himself is a very good person in many ways, coupled with the extremely amazing performance just now and the high voice that still lingers in his ears, the charm of the whole person is completely amplified, so that Jiang Shiqi's relatives are a little electrified.

Her eyes looked to the side, and sure enough, Ernie Bae Joo-hyun was the same as if she hadn't heard her words, a pair of big shining eyes had been chasing a figure on the stage, her eyes followed the footsteps of the other party and moved, the curvature of the corners of her mouth was very good-looking, her expression was satisfied and surprised, and she didn't seem to have the heart to listen to her emotion.

pursed her lips clearly, Jiang Shiqi knew a lot about the relationship between these two people, and she was slightly envious for a while.

After looking at Pei Zhuhyun's side face, she turned her head to look at Sun Shengwan, and asked curiously, "Shengwan, how about Jingyuan's high voice?" ”

"Needless to say? perfect! Sun Shengwan gave a thumbs up with an appreciative face, and at the same time, he seemed to be interested in the treble performance just now, and he also opened his mouth to make an 'ah' mouth and tried to sing it.

"If it's you, how about Jingyuan's part?"

Hearing this question, Sun Shengwan hesitated, but she was still very strong in singing, and nodded after a short silence: "It should be possible......"

"I think you can ...... too"

"Hey, hey, anyway, Jingyuan's glowing shoes look good, where are they bought?"

"I don't know, let's go back and ask him, I think he's handsome too."

The two of them chatted and chatted at the same time, Jiang Shiqi suddenly felt a little strange, she had been excited about every stage before, why did Jin Yilin, who had always been like an exo fan girl, suddenly silent, such a handsome stage, such a charming person, shouldn't she be the same as just now, shaking Ernie's arm and shouting 'so handsome'?

Jiang Shiqi glanced to the left, and found that Busy Ner, who had been very lively before, was sitting in his position at this time, slightly hunched over and supporting his cheek with the back of his hand, his eyes looked at the figure on the stage seriously, and he was inexplicably quiet.

"Dorp That" directly ignited the atmosphere of all the audience at the concert, even after the end of the stage, the air seemed to be dyed with a layer of heat and passion, and the fans who had already stood up no longer had the desire to sit down.

The stage songs in this link are all in the direction of burning and heat, and many of the audience are too excited after a few songs, feeling that their voices are a little hoarse, and when the lights of the audience turn black, and the exo who sang a few songs in a row got off the stage to change clothes, he took a little rest, and at the same time talked about the performance just now.

At this point, most of the concert has passed, and it's time to enter the final link, there are still some big hits in EXO that have not been performed, and the most curious new title song has not appeared.

It's just that before they could take a little breath and rest for less than two minutes, the big screen that had just finished playing a VCR showing superpowers suddenly lit up, and most of Ji Jingyuan's face came directly to the camera for a close-up.

He was dressed in a blue suit that fitted perfectly, and he was looking at the camera with a curious gaze, as if studying how the camera was used.

"Wow......"

This close-up made many people sigh in admiration.

Immediately after that, he stood a little farther away in the picture, took out his mobile phone, opened the music interface, selected one of the songs and clicked to play.

In the next second, a prelude that had never been heard before reached the ears of the audience.

“oo~~woo~~woo~~^”

The unique style and extremely tactful melody shocked everyone, and they couldn't help but prick up their ears to listen, staring at the big screen while making all kinds of guesses in their hearts.

Is this what it is......

As the prelude gradually approached, the camera followed Ji Jingyuan's back towards a room, and when he was about to enter the house, he suddenly turned around and glanced at the camera, blinked with a smile, and turned his head and walked in before the fans screamed, and Bian Boxian, who had been waiting for a long time, quickly entered.

"Curious about everything, how are you doing today?"

“oh tell me~~oya,oya~”

An introduction immediately made everyone's eyes light up, and they felt that this tune was unexpectedly good, and it was very consistent with the prelude just now, coupled with the reversal of Bian Boxian's deliberately sultry voice and singing voice, a gentle and sweet atmosphere was created at once.

It's a pity that there are only two short sentences, and there are no vocals immediately afterward, only the rhythm of the drum beat remains, which makes many fans who have just entered it can't help but chop their feet impatiently.

At the same time, under the introduction of Bian Boxian, the camera gradually zoomed out, and all the members entered, stood in line and began to dance together.

It's just a few simple actions, after completion, the queue instantly split apart, walked towards the dark exit, walked in front of the camera again, walked in front of the camera again, pointed out with a thumb in the direction of the exit, smiled and pulled away his suit, and used the inner lining to move forward, blocking the camera, and the picture was immediately pitch black.

At this moment, the nine members of EXO walked onto the stage, seamlessly connecting with the VCR that had just been played, as if they had come out of the camera.

They already had a premonition of what kind of song this was, and the excited fans cheered excitedly, and several huge English characters appeared on the big screen in due course, showing the name of the song:

《boy with love》
