At present, the closest event to the major idol groups in the Peninsula music industry is the annual MAMA Awards Ceremony that will be held on December 2nd. Countdown stopped broadcasting normally, and was used to review the songs released by this year's well-known idol groups, and at the same time announced the shortlist for several awards, making a long warm-up for the upcoming MAMA.

At the same time, several awards that require fan voting have also ended the voting channel one after another, and fans who have been frantically canvassing and voting for more than half a month are also arguing on the Internet for the final result.

However, the Ellies will not participate in this kind of link, because they have never lost in voting, and EXO appears in the candidates for this kind of voting award, and the other groups can basically only compete for the second place.

On November 29, MAMA announced the list of guests who had finally been selected to attend the ceremony, which attracted the attention of fans and most of the music industry, and immediately became the focus of online discussion.

Because this year's MAMA guest lineup is really amazing.

This year, almost all the pages in the first half of the year have been occupied, and the battle for the pinnacle has begun, and there is no doubt that EXO and bigbang, the most popular idol groups this year, have already set the tone for this MAMA luxury lineup, in addition to SM SHinee, FX, Girls' Generation and red velvet, YG sent 2NE1, ikon, and JYP are Park Jin-young himself and GOT7.

Unlike in previous years, when artists were always absent from the three major companies due to contradictions or other reasons, this time all three of them sent their leading artists to attend and carefully prepared the performance stage, and such a grand scene has not appeared for many years.

In addition to the idol group, there are solo singers Kim Tae-yeon, Hyun-ah, jessi, who have recently become popular and have a strong sound source, several well-known rappers including the champion of this year's "show me the money", SanE and Ji Kyung-won's old acquaintance dynamic duo, and the final finale PSY, who will announce his character's first stage at this year's MAMA.

As soon as this guest lineup came out, many people have praised this year's MAMA as the strongest guest lineup in history, and many people also feel that with so many years of development, Kpop has also ushered in its peak moment this year, that is, in 2015.

Of course, a strong lineup of guests will make ordinary audiences happy, but as an awards ceremony, in addition to the stage, the awards are naturally the most important, especially the big awards, which are the most important, and many people immediately began to argue about the ownership of the awards.

Although some singers or groups are quite popular, they usually often appear in everyone's careers, with high exposure and good results, but if you really want to say that these people can win big awards and reach the TOP level, the vast majority of the audience still feel that they are still a little worse.

There are few combinations of this grade in the entire music industry.

After some discussion, unsurprisingly, most people still think that this time the big prize is still a head-to-head showdown between EXO and bigbang.

And at this time, Elle and. P is also arguing on the Internet, originally because of the positive results suppressed has been let . P couldn't speak loudly in front of Ellie, but because of the previous MMA, the number of bigbang awards was 2 to 1, which overshadowed EXO who was not present, and made him retreat in front of Ellie after being silent for a long time. P was shocked, and during this time, there was a resurgence again.

The strongest guest lineup, the competition for the big awards between the two boy groups, and the KPOP grand occasion that reached its peak, coupled with the heated discussions and quarrels on the Internet, directly made the popularity of MAMA soar this time, and all the audience's sense of expectation was full, and they were waiting for the arrival of the 2nd of next month.

Among them, Ji Jingyuan also looked at the list announced by MAMA, but he was a little surprised that he didn't find the name twice on it, he originally thought that Zhou Ziyu and they would also go to MAMA this time

He didn't bother to ask, maybe because he was still a newcomer who had just debuted, so he didn't invite him.

……

On the morning of December 1st, in addition to Park Chanyeol, who had a personal itinerary in the mainland magic capital, the EXO group took a plane to Hong Kong Island, and after a short stay and a thank you to the fans who picked up the airport, they took the rented nanny car back to the booked hotel first.

This time, SM came with a lot of artists, and they were all arranged in the same hotel, but because each group had different schedules and times, they didn't come together this time, at least Ji Kyung-won knew that Red Velvet wouldn't come from Seoul until the evening.

After putting things away and repairing them for a while, they went straight to AsiaWorld-Expo, the venue of this year's MAMA, under the guidance of their agents.

Since 2012, including this year, MAMA has been held at AsiaWorld-Expo for four consecutive years, and EXO has participated in MAMA since its debut in 12 years until this year, so it can be said that I am very familiar with the process of this award ceremony and this venue.

This year, Lee Seung-hwan, who led the team, did not keep talking about his face in the car as before, and did not say much after casually explaining a few precautions, but chatted about the gossip of several guests in the circle this time.

After arriving at the venue, I first went to communicate with the organizers, and then waited for about an hour, and EXO went on the stage under the arrangement of the staff to start stepping on the stage and rehearsing the stage.

Although MAMA has only started on the 2nd, it is actually very busy on the 1st, because on the 2nd, in addition to the evening party, there are press conferences and red carpet sessions during the day, and the formal rehearsal is scheduled in the morning, so the time is relatively insufficient, so most of the rehearsal work is completed the day before.

"You have been practicing on this stage for a long time, I don't need to remind you of the dance, we mainly practice the process of the stage and the use of lifts......

At this time, there was no audience in the entire venue, except for the busy staff around most of the area seemed empty, EXO was wearing private clothes, standing on the main stage, listening to the company's teachers and organizers explaining: "The first song "call me baby", we will start to play the VCR we recorded before, stand on the stage during the play, wait until the first chorus ends, Kai will officially start the performance when he walks into the formation from the waiting field and stands still, this connecting part must be done, Follow the beat of the drums to ......"

"'Call Me Baby' was followed by 'LIGHTSABER', and when the lights went out at the end of the stage, everyone hurried back to the backstage to change their clothes, Kai and Sehoon changed first, and then took the elevator to start the sword dance...... Don't laugh...... how handsome the lightsabers in "Star Wars" are, others don't have a chance to play yet, you pay attention to the sword dance lighter, don't break the props, I took a look, the quality of the lightsaber props is not particularly good......"

The stage of "LIGHTSABER" is not a complete performance, starting with Oh Se-hoon and Kim Jong-in dancing there with lightsabers in the dark, and then a special stage for six members, which is actually more meaningful than the official performance to promote "Star Wars".

"After the six-person stage of "LIGHTSABER" ended, it was "Spring Day", Jing Yuan was the first to come up from the elevator, and stood on the side stage without moving, and the others were the same, waiting for the glow sticks to fall from the sky before moving."

"Then there's "Drop That", everyone is scattered on the stage, everyone is assigned to an area to try to cover the entire stage, Sexun, Jingyuan, you go directly to the artist seat, and when the middle camera cuts over, you can interact with other people."

"The final "Boy with Luv" doesn't have a special setting, but this song is the last stage, and after four songs, it should be very tiring, so remember to adjust your breathing and don't make mistakes."

Because the performance of "LIGHTSABER" is only one and a half minutes and cannot be considered a complete song, this time EXO can be said to have four and a half songs on the stage, three of which are the title songs of this year's hit, all of which add up to nearly 20 minutes of performance time, and is one of the most important performers of MAMA this time, and the other is bigbang.

"I don't require you to remember all of them all at once, there is still a lot of time today, rehearse a few times to familiarize yourself with it, remember, the main thing is the process, and the specific dance will be said during tomorrow's rehearsal, remember?" The twenty-minute performance was a bit long, and the whole connection and transition process made the stage design teacher also babble, and finally he clapped his hands and shouted loudly.

"Inside."

Everyone answered and went into the groove.

"Let's get started......"

……

EXO is also an experienced senior, for this venue, the use of various lifts is also very familiar, after a few runs there is no problem, after stepping on the field to have dinner together, and after nightfall, everyone returned to the hotel.

"Brother Junmian shouted to play cards, are you going?"

Wu Shixun put on his shoes and looked back at Chi Jingyuan who came out of the bathroom and asked.

Although the agent did not restrict the activities at night, because there was an important trip tomorrow and they also needed to get up early, even Park Chanyeol and the others did not go out, and stayed at the hotel to play their own games.

"You guys play, I'll watch TV for a while." Ji Jingyuan waved his hand, he had never been interested in poker.

Of course Wu Shixun knew, he was just casually polite, and after Ji Jingyuan refused, he left a sentence of "leaving" and then closed the door and left.

After he was left alone in the room, he was happy to be idle, Ji Jingyuan was lying on the bed and lazily watching the program on TV, and when he was a little bored, the mobile phone next to him rang.

I stretched my waist and took a look, it was actually a text message from Zhou Ziyu.

Inside is a condescending night view of the city, from the angle guess that it should be the upper floor of a hotel, and the content, Chi Jingyuan knew at a glance that it was a night view of Hong Kong Island.

Then the meaning of this photo is obvious.

He looked at the photo twice and looked a little strange, and tapped his phone to send: "You guys are here too?" ”
