Chapter Ninety-Six: Next Time
“We like2 party~~ YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH~”
"We like2 party~~ until the sun rises in the west~"
The melody of "We Like 2 Party", one of BIGBANG's new songs, resounded in the lounge of "Popular Songs", and the dozen or so people in the room nodded their heads rhythmically to the music, twisting their bodies, and several people waving their hands in the air, closing their eyes and looking very engaged.
This time, the sales of the return increased significantly compared to the previous two months, and the MV clicks on YouTube set a record, making one of the shortcomings of the previous group directly become an insurmountable peak for other teams, and more importantly, the music source that had been suppressed by BIGBANG has made a big turnaround, and the title song still firmly occupies the first position on most of the charts in the first week of its release.
The heat and attention have reached a dazzling peak, which is more than the previous "Roar" period, and at the same time, the substantial benefits are felt by everyone.
Because of the unexpectedly explosive results, all the members of EXO have been in a very good mood recently, even after returning to Seoul, they are constantly busy running promotions and schedules.
I don't know who turned on the mobile phone in the lounge just now, and it was still a new song from BIGBANG, and I wanted to turn it off, but as soon as the song came out, I found that almost everyone could sing it, and after a few words, it quickly ignited everyone's enthusiasm and started playing
Even Chi Jingyuan, who was playing the game, was infected by the atmosphere, and when he reached the chorus, he raised his hand and waved it together, followed by humming two sentences "We like2 party~~", and gave the most engaged people two sounds, and the whole lounge was suddenly high as if it wasn't lit, as if the room was really holding a party.
If an outsider knocks on the door at this time, they will probably think that they are in the wrong place.
Not to mention, although bigbang is their biggest rival for EXO now, and their private relationship is very average, their music is really good, including last month's "loser", and there are several songs that Ji Jingyuan likes a lot.
There is a reason why people can be so popular, and the other members of EXO are obviously also very concerned about this opponent, otherwise they wouldn't have sung the song as soon as it is played, just listening to Wu Shixun's singing, that devotion and enjoyment make people feel more than when he sang his own part in XO's song.
I just don't know if the seniors of the stick will feel very relieved when they see the scene in front of them, and when they see the junior men's group as the biggest opponent singing their songs so happily to celebrate at this time, they will feel very relieved, or will they feel an inexplicable irony.
“We like2 party……”
"Stop singing, it's ready over there, start pre-recording right away, let's go over there."
"Barry, Barry!"
But before they could be happy for a while, Lee Seung-hwan walked in without knocking on the door, and directly slapped the table to interrupt the party in the house.
Today is the last hit song of the first week of the return, starting with Thursday's "M! "C" is now the fourth show, unlike bigbang's predecessors and mysterious demeanor who still don't play much when they return even if they don't have a concert, as long as there is no important itinerary delay, or some specific reasons, as long as it is a return, the three major stations and "M! C" is full of four programs, and even "the show" or "show champion" will take the time to go to the last time if the program team is warmly invited.
Although I am a little tired, the publicity effect is also there, and fans are very happy to watch it, and they can look forward to it every day, and it feels really good to be able to see their own idol on TV.
During the pre-recording, for the sake of atmosphere and giving back to the fans, the audience usually had a meal of their own combination screened in advance, but after communicating with the PD and VJ on the scene, the nine EXO people stood on the stage, and the audience had been waiting for a long time, and the fans who came to wait in front of SBS in the middle of the night immediately broke out into excited cheers.
Ji Jingyuan stood in the middle and posed with his back to the stage waiting for the opening, feeling that the headset on the left was a little uncomfortable, so he reached out and adjusted it gently.
"Ahhh......h
It's just that I didn't expect a very simple little action, but it caused Ellie to scream loudly in the audience.
Before the music started, after hearing the screams, Ji Jingyuan adjusted the headset, turned to look at the dinner in the audience, seemed to feel a little strange, and blinked.
Then it immediately caused a cheer that was even more excited than before, and it seemed that it could not be held back before the recording began.
Maybe these Ellies are really happy to see them.
It may also be because they look good today, and the last song of the week, Cody did not let them continue to restore the outfits and hair colors in the MV, all the members on the stage are dressed in straight suits, and Ji Jingyuan has seemingly ordinary black hair in primary colors in addition to the dark fitted suit.
The color doesn't seem to be outstanding, but after careful care, it looks very comfortable with a tall figure and a suit of the same tone, and there is a faint ascetic atmosphere when he is not smiling, but when he laughs, it looks contrasting and close, so that many fans in the audience are eyes light up after seeing it, and some fans lock on him after sweeping around, and it is really difficult to look away.
Ji Jingyuan glanced back briefly, and the fans in the audience were all holding EXO's cheering banners and looking very neat, and at the bottom of the front row of the stage, he also noticed that several assistants arranged by the company were preparing to shoot their official direct shoot with equipment.
Hearing the successive cheers, he couldn't help but laugh directly, and then quickly turned around in the coming screams, but his mood was brightened with the enthusiasm of Ellie.
“woo~~woo~~woo~~woo~~woo~~”
After the director's prompt, the prelude sounded, putting aside some complicated thoughts, Chi Jingyuan immediately entered the state, and began to do movements with all the other members reflexively, facing away from the camera and the audience, shaking his shoulders from side to side with a very feel.
“woo~~woo~~woo~~woo~~woo~~”
Soon it was time for him to turn his eyes back skillfully, looking at the audience below and the close-up shots that were being given close-ups, pursing his lips slightly, but the corners of his mouth were tilted at the right angle, looking up to make a curious expression, with an obvious smile in his eyes.
He didn't lick his tongue with a provocative sense like in the MV.,Just do it in the MV of this kind of action.,If it's really performed on stage in reality, it will really make people feel a little ashamed.,And every time you do a song.,If you watch too much, you will lose your original sense of amazement.,Except for the first stage, Ji Jingyuan doesn't do this kind of wink anymore.。
However, today's casual expression seems to have a good effect, and several fans in Chi Jingyuan's afterglow have already stood up excitedly.
"I'm curious about how you're doing today."
“oh tell me~”
After turning around, he Chi Jingyuan quickly retreated and rushed to the next formation position, and at the same time, Bian Boxian's soft opening voice sounded, and the angry tone echoed and smashed for a while, and he couldn't help laughing immediately after hearing it.
Every time he hears this voice, he wants to laugh very much, just listening to the voice, he can imagine this brother pinching an orchid finger and writhing back and forth, and as the initiator, Chi Jingyuan will spontaneously have a sense of funny, and he thinks it is very interesting.
Who would have thought that Bian Boxian, the brother, could have such talent.
Because his attention was attracted, he almost bumped into Jin Junmian who was moving when he stepped back, and the two of them tacitly agreed to the side and let go, and then looked at each other and laughed together, and quickly staggered by.
Today's fans responded with unexpected enthusiasm and energy, coupled with the fact that they were in a good mood because of the results, so that the EXO members on the stage were obviously very happy and devoted, even if it was not very convenient to dance with a microphone, but the dance movements were still very relaxed and freehand, obviously enjoying the atmosphere of this performance very much, and there were many more smiles and interactions than the usual stage.
The effect of the stage under concentration and relaxation is extraordinarily smooth, and the chorus part is soon reached in the continuous cheering.
“oh~my my my~~oh~my my my~~””
All the fans present opened their voices and began to sing in unison very skillfully, and the sound of the resounding sound in an instant obviously covered the accompaniment in the stereo.
Because this part is done by Sun Shengwan, and it is also a female voice, she will not be present when she is singing, so it is not very convenient for EXO to perform if she opens the microphone on stage, so from the second time she sings, all Alie has quickly become a tacit understanding, as long as it is the chorus of this prat in the chorus.
All the "oh~my my~~" Chi Jingyuan in the whole song doesn't have to sing a word, just be honest and harmonious, and be a backup dancer.
“oh~my my my~~”
“EXO!”
“oh~my my my~~”
“EXO!”
After a chorus, the next EXO part will be followed by a reactive word, each sentence is shouted at the maximum volume, but the ellies are still comfortable and seamlessly switching, whether it is the uniformity or the frequency of ventilation have reached a professional level as if they have been specially trained, and the resounding sound makes the staff next to them secretly smack their tongues.
The choreography of "Boy with Luv" is really distinctive, including tap-dancing-like fast stomping on the ground, continuous wave slapping of oneself, group jumping and raising legs, as well as the neat small steps of everyone and the captain coming out to roll call in turn, etc., not simply to show the handsomeness of the members, but every movement is eye-catching to highlight a lively and playful look and feel to the audience.
With the appropriate wink expression and music melody, the effect of the whole stage is very good, and it makes people feel very relaxed when they look at it, and the mood is easy to become cheerful.
Soon came to the second half of the song, the stage of continuous rap, all the members stood or squatted or stood in a horizontal row on the stage, and Ji Jingyuan, who had no part in this section, squatted in his position on the left, dancing too intensely and panting slightly, and at the same time looking up at the C position, Park Chanyeol, who was being close to the camera by VJ, nodded his head gently with the rap rhythm he put into the loud and devoted.
It sounds like this brother's rap has improved.
Then Chi Jingyuan's body twisted back, and his eyes swept around the stage casually, just glancing at Wu Shixun who was standing next to him, obviously today's hot atmosphere made this kid also very jubilant and had a good temperament, squeezing his eyebrows at Chi Jingyuan, and glanced at the audience below, as if he was hinting at something.
Looking in his direction, the excited fans formed a crowd and cheered loudly, and you can clearly see that several girls who are closer are dancing in place with red faces.
Moving his gaze back, Ji Jingyuan shrugged his shoulders towards Wu Shixun, and then suddenly smiled brightly.
This kind of atmosphere is really great, and even Wu Shixun, who is wearing a white suit, looks a little more handsome.
After hearing the change in rhythm, he knew that it was time for his part, and Ji Jingyuan, who had been lazy for a while, immediately stood up, followed Wu Shixun and began to move to the middle of the stage, dancing in general, while holding a microphone and starting to make the final touch to the whole song.
“Love is nothing stronger.”
“EXO! EXO! ”
“Than a boy with~~~Than a boy with luv.”
“EXO! EXO! ”
With the support of all the audience, EXO put on an Ending pose to end the first stage pre-recording.
It may be that today's state is really good, there are no obvious mistakes, whether it is the stage effect or the cooperation of fans, it highlights a hearty, pre-recording that needs to be filmed several times in the past, the program team actually passed it once after seeing the effect of the shooting, and it is not even necessary to shoot again to ensure one for the sake of insurance, and EXO's work today is over.
After saying goodbye to the reluctant fans, everyone walked backstage in a happy mood, and the sound of 'we like 2 party' was faintly heard from the crowd.
“yeah~yeah~yeah~yeah……”
…………
"Do you want to really have a party in two days, and go to the club to have a fun together? There are several good ones in Itaewon......"
"Or go to KTV and sing or something......"
"Just a few of us?"
"How is it possible, what do we mean, why don't we have supper in the dormitory...... I'm sure I'm going to make an appointment with some female idols. ”
EXO, who had just finished the live broadcast of "Popular Songs", was eating at a restaurant next to SBS at this time, and Ji Jingyuan quickly dug into bibimbap with a spoon while listening to several interested members next to him chatting about leisure and relaxation.
Although I have been talking and chatting, the action of several people eating has not stopped for a moment, and the itinerary for a few days is still quite rushed, and there are still two programs and radio stations to record in SBS, and I have to rush over immediately after eating.
Regarding Park Chanyeol's proposal, Ji Jingyuan was noncommittal, he didn't care, if there were many people in the team activities, he would follow.
Although a few people sitting next to him had already chatted with great interest about which familiar female idols to come out to play with, but although Chi Jingyuan listened very carefully, he didn't interject so he ate the fastest, and after eating the last bite, he drank saliva, took out a tissue to wipe his mouth, and after giving everyone another one, he took out his mobile phone and prepared to swipe it, to see how Aili felt about the stage of "Popular Ballads" just broadcast, and he was not satisfied.
I just unlocked my phone, and I received a message at the same time.
"'Boy With Luv' is really good, and the stage is very good."
It was sent by Zhou Ziyu, and it was just a nonsense.
"Something to talk about."
Seeing the news he received, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but purse his lips, and after seeing through it at a glance, he unceremoniously exposed this girl's almost thoughts.
Why hasn't anyone grown?
"Hehe, it's already good...... Do you have time on the 14th, or 13th? ”
There was a hint of timidity in her words, as if something was not easy to talk about.
After just glancing at it, Chi Jingyuan was a little speechless, and after looking up at the progress of the members' meals, he quickly tapped the screen with both hands: "What are you doing?" Hinting that your birthday is coming again? Don't it be so obvious! Can Zhou Ziyu stop pretending to be stupid and cute...... I remember it. ”
"What the hell, no!"
Obviously, being misunderstood made Zhou Ziyu a little annoyed, and the dissatisfaction in her tone could be felt across the screen, and she sent two messages in a row in order to explain:
"It was my mom who came to see me for the other two days, she said...... He said he wanted to treat you to dinner...... Well...... Thanks for that...... By the way, she said she had brought some of our specialties and wanted to give you some. ”
The intermittent words clearly showed the master's tangled psychological state, and Chi Jingyuan was also stunned after seeing it.
He was not surprised that Zhou's mother knew about herself, because after being in contact for so long, he had long felt that Zhou Ziyu was a character who cared about the family very much, and he liked to tell some interesting things about the family when chatting and talking in private.
It can be seen between the lines that she has a very good relationship with her relatives, especially with her mother, who is particularly close, every time she talks about her mother, she feels that her age has suddenly become smaller, and she has faded away from the maturity and observation brought by her trainee career, and has become a little girl who misses her family and likes to be spoiled.
It's just that I didn't expect Zhou's mother to suddenly want to see him, and it was really quite sudden.
"Your mother? Coming for your birthday? ”
"yes, she told me two days ago...... Do you have time...... Are you coming? ”
"I'll take a look at ......" Chi Jingyuan slid the screen, ready to look at the itinerary on the notepad, but just clicked on it and didn't look at it, he immediately remembered the important activities in the past two days.
"We left Seoul on the 11th, and there were two concerts in Taipei on the 12th and 13th, and there should be some related activities after the end, and it is estimated that it will be the 15th or 6th when we come back."
Of course, it's not made up but the exact itinerary, EXO has been practicing for this for a long time, but he didn't react for a while.
Chi Jingyuan didn't have any resistance to Zhou's mother's initiative to make an appointment, he felt that if the other party knew that he was a person and his daughter had such a friend, it would be normal to have this kind of behavior, and he didn't feel anything awkward about having a meal together.
It's not a girlfriend or a mother-in-law, just have a meal with your friend's parents and accept each other's thanks.
It's just a pity that the time of the trip was just missed.
"Oh, I see, I'll tell her."
Zhou Ziyu replied after reading the reply, but he was a little blocked in his heart.
Obviously, I didn't want to talk to Chi Jingyuan before, but after the other party really said that he didn't have time, he took a breath lightly, but he quickly developed a faint sense of loss and inexplicable complicated emotions.
"I've been too busy these two days, wait for the next chance, I'll invite you to dinner when Auntie comes back...... By the way, when are you free these two days? I'll give you the gift in advance before I go. ”
Seeing the message sent by Chi Jingyuan immediately after, as if he felt the meaning contained in it, Zhou Ziyu blinked, and his mood quickly improved again.
She pursed her lips and typed: "After practicing in the afternoon, there is usually time for dinner...... What kind of gift? ”
"Guess!"
Zhou Ziyu raised his eyes and looked at the ceiling and thought about several possible things, and when he thought about it, his mouth showed his little tiger teeth, and he smiled expectantly.
"I can't guess!"
"It's what you need most right now."
Seeing this prompt, Zhou Ziyu immediately happily thought in that direction, his dark eyes turned a few times, but soon he seemed to think of something, his brows furrowed, and the expectant smile that was still on his face just now collapsed instantly, and even the fingers that tapped the screen were obviously much harder:
"I want to say I'm black again...... Why are you so annoying? ”
