Chapter Seventy-One: Fire

Approaching midnight on the 12th, Kei Kaneshi waited in front of the computer to watch the music source and music video of EXO's comeback prelude song "fire", which SM was about to release on time.

He's an EXO man who has been a fan for more than two years, and compared to most of the twentieth generation men who only like girl groups and frown with disdain when they mention boy groups, Kimshi Kei is an outlier.

Of course, the girl group also watches, after all, everyone likes such a beautiful girl, but compared to the cuteness and sexiness of the girl group, he actually pays more attention to appreciating the stage, he likes the kind of fierce and handsome, blood-pounding dance, Kpop has been chasing for several years and has watched so many stages, he really feels that compared to the vast majority of women's groups, the stage performance of the men's group is not to mention the movement and cooperation, and the choreography alone is difficult to go up several grades, and the intensity and excitement are also covered a lot, There are some stages and parts that still feel very handsome even if you look at it with his same-sex identity and some prejudiced eyes

Male fans like him don't account for much of EXO's overall fans, but in terms of EXO's fan base that has been disconnected in the Kpop music industry, because the base is too large, in fact, there are still quite a lot of male fans who like EXO, and he knows several, some like dancing like him, and some who like popular celebrity fans.

In addition to him, I don't know how many similar men's meals there are, as well as far more women's meals than they occupy the vast majority, and even more interested onlookers are waiting.

It's been almost ten months since last year's official second album "EXO-L", and for such a long time after the huge success of the second album and the completion of the summit, there has been no big move on the team side except for a winter special, and all the members have been focusing on overseas tours and individual activities, which is really unacceptable for a new generation TOP group with many fans in the music industry and belonging to the fault level.

During such a long gap, many Ellie are already looking forward to the return of their idols and waiting for their hunger, during this time, they don't know what to buy even if they spend money to support idols, and many people can only go back to buy some of XO's previous albums, which has led to the peculiar phenomenon of many of EXO's old album sales rising during this time.

If EXO's combination of popularity and volume is placed in other companies such as JYP, if they don't return five or six times a year, and harvest all the fans' wallets, they already know that it will be a long stream.

But SM doesn't think so, first of all, as long as a boy group of EXO's size releases songs, it will definitely be the general trend, and the peninsula market is not big, and it will be annoying to return so many times...... And the TOP has to have the TOP compulsion, whose TOP keeps returning all year round as if it hasn't made money? If you look at bigbang and EXO, if you want to make money, you can go on tour.

As soon as midnight arrived, countless fans and passers-by immediately refreshed the webpage several times in a row, and the consistently punctual SM did not disappoint, and the music source and music video of "fire" immediately appeared on the relevant website.

Kim Seok-kyu took a special look at the songwriter shown in the song information, and originally he thought that the creator Yuan's name was only in the second or even third place, and all of them were musicians named PDOGG.

Haven't heard of ......

Countless similar thoughts flashed away and didn't pay much attention to it, and everyone clicked directly on the music source or MV in the next second.

"Wow, wow, wow......"

The prelude with the fragmentary drum beat and the background electronic music is very rhythmic, and as soon as the music sounds, people can't help but nod their heads slightly, in the MV, Chi Jingyuan looked curiously at the man in black who suddenly appeared in front of him, and walked in tentatively step by step, and after glancing at each other, the two people shook hands very kindly.

"Wow" The flames on the black-clothed man rose instantly, and the swirling flames made many people in front of the screen vaguely feel a blazing heat, according to inertial thinking, many people felt that Chi Jingyuan should immediately stay away from running away or something, but he didn't expect that in the screen, he was holding the other party's hand, tilting his head and looking at the black-clothed man in front of him in surprise, as if watching a performance, he watched for a second,

"It's burning~"

Oh!

Seeing this scene and this sentence, many people immediately smiled and raised their eyebrows.

The same is true for Kim Seok-kyu, he thinks that the shot and this sentence of Ji Kyung-won are really handsome.

β€œFrie~~Fire~~β€œ

β€œFire~~Fire~~”

Before anyone could sigh a sentence, the strong syllables and the climax of the chorus immediately attracted all the attention of the audience.

The arrangement of "FIre" is different from EXO's previous style, with strong hip-hop elements, it belongs to EDM electronic dance music, whether it is the temperament of the song itself, and the extensive use of electronic music in the chorus part is XO rarely involved in the area before, but this very novel attempt still gives fans a very good experience,

And the essence of this song is still dance music, and the dance of this song can satisfy all the audiences who like the stage, the danger is very high, the jumping position, the extremely complex and fragmented but very handsome hand and body movements, plus several very distinctive and iconic shots, the overall difficult choreography makes people feel like a feast for the eyes, although there are not many shots of the group dance in the middle of the official version of the MV, but the dance shots that appear in the gap still bring countless audiences great enjoyment.

"Fire~~ Raise your fists, All night long."

"Fire~~ Firm pace and move forward bravely."

Soon came to the second half of the song for more than three minutes, and entered the excessive brigde part, the first part of a fierce chorus was still unfinished, I originally thought that this relatively slow rhythm brigde could make people a little soothing, but I didn't expect that after a melody, I didn't miss a few faces in front, and there weren't many parts, but Chi Jingyuan, who had been dancing along, suddenly walked from the side to the middle C position and began to lead the dance, while doing the overall action, while pointing to the camera:

"FIre~ Jump up."

"Crazy!"

β€œahwwooo!”

With a wanton chant, the nine EXO people who had already stood in formation began a jaw-dropping group dance, each with their hands flat in front of them and clenched their fists tightly, bowed slightly, and their feet were extremely the floor at a very fast continuous step, as if they were performing a passionate tap dance, the movements were so fast that people could not see their footsteps clearly, with the extremely triangular formation and extremely neat movements, a strong sense of impact came to the face.

The camera zoomed in, Chi Jingyuan standing in the middle was the most conspicuous, under the intense dance, he gently pursed his lips with a faint smile, his eyes looked at the camera with bright eyes, his eyes seemed to penetrate the screen and were looking at the audience, because the strength of the action was too great, so that the hair and bangs that were not too long kept shaking with the stampede, and every stroke seemed to shake into the heart of the female fan.

"Oh touch~"

Many people exclaimed when they saw the MV scene, they were all born in surprise, completely killing part, although the scene of a group dance was very short, it immediately became the most memorable scene of countless fans and passers-by in an instant, and at the same time, the blood of the body was also awakened by this section, and some people couldn't wait to stand up directly, and their feet were continuously stepped on the ground to imitate it.

After the end of this extremely amazing part, everyone jumped on the spot, and after falling to the ground, someone put their hands on their sides and shook quickly.

This is one of the most memorable iconic choreography of "Fire", because it is like touching something very hot, so they named it 'Hot Hand Dance'.

After Chi Jingyuan smiled and burned his hands twice, the originally tight triangle formation quickly dispersed, and Chi Jingyuan, who was standing in the middle, stood on the far left directly from the middle with a few large-distance strides, and followed the team to a neat and clean group dance.

At this time, the camera of the MV suddenly pulled up, aiming at Chi Jingyuan next to him and approaching the past, and Chi Jingyuan also slowly took a few steps forward, and soon looked at the camera of him alone from a half-overhead angle, while singing his own lyrics, he stretched out his index finger and shook it gently, and came to a personal show time.

"Burn everything, Bow wow wow~"

Immediately after that, he suddenly squatted down and slowly fell backwards, and the camera followed his footsteps while slowly zooming out, and in a trance, it quickly pulled from the original close-up to a panorama, and at a glance, I don't know when dozens of people had squatted around, and Chi Jingyuan stood up with the other members who were also squatting on the ground and the forty backup dancers who appeared to follow the shout of 'fire'.

Nine members plus forty dancers, so many people dancing together gives people a stronger feeling, even if the camera is pulled very high, it is still fully propped up, Chi Jingyuan, who had not performed much in the whole song before, stood firmly in the C position, shook his shoulders, and quickly stepped back after a short stride, all kinds of fragmentary movements were naturally displayed on him, even if the impact brought by the uniform movements of the close to the fifty people was overflowing, but the person in the middle was still extremely eye-catching.

"Burn everything, Bow wow wow~" With the lyrics, he nodded his head and waved his hands upward, as if he was really going to burn.

The shadows reflected on the graffiti-covered wall behind him also danced, and with the flame-waving dancers in front of them, a strong sense of shock erupted from the chests of countless spectators.

With the end of the last hot dance where everyone shakes their hands together, and with a monologue of 'I've forgiven you', the music video for the whole song ends here.

Not to mention the female fans who have been flushed because of the last two group dances, Kanesok Kei, who is a male fan, is also starting to get excited, this "fire" is really too much for his appetite, he just likes this kind of passionate and exciting, choreographing super difficult songs and dances.

"Handsome!"

Thinking of the group dance he saw just now, the part that trampled on the ground, even if he was of the same sex, he couldn't help but flick his tongue and admire.

In fact, he thought it was okay in the front, but he felt that the last two paragraphs were too feeling, so he went back and watched it several times, and then snapped and tapped the space to pause, looking at Chi Jingyuan, who was standing in the C position and playing handsome, he couldn't help but sigh:

"Tsk, I think you're too handsome, if you get it after being seen by those female idols, you can't pick your eyes."

"Hey......

As a male fan, he doesn't hate idols like those female fans, and even hopes that Chi Jingyuan can fall in love or something.

After watching the MV, EXO's major fan bases also began to fall into a heated discussion at the same time, wantonly commenting and discussing this novel precursor song in the face of the return of their idols after such a long time, all Ellie has long been:

"The style of this song is quite different from before, and it feels like it's back to DOPE, and I can't even tell it's an EXO song when I first listen to it...... But the quality is still as high as ever, the MV is really a lot of investment, it's an explosion and a burning car, I heard that it's all live-action shooting, and there are so many accompanying dancers, tsk, worthy of XO, I'm still quite satisfied. ”

"The MV of the whole song is super handsome, the flame is burning so much, especially in the last two paragraphs, the part of the group tap dance on the floor is really handsome, and then there is the scene where Yuan's face transition choreography appears, it's really too imposing, I don't know how many times I have watched these two paragraphs, and they are still repeated, XO Saigao! I'm really looking forward to today's first stage! I heard that it was recorded a few days ago, but unfortunately I didn't get a place that day, cry~"

"Indeed, these two places are the most impressive, and the last dozens of choreographers are really big, and whether you notice the shadow of the reflection on the wall behind that scene is super feeling."

"It feels good, the dance is really difficult, but it's so exciting...... Is Yuan's part a little less? There are not a few sentences after watching the whole process.,Except for the opening sentence, I've been dancing in front of me.,It's the last two paragraphs that have C-position shots.。 ”

"Yuan fans are really enough, how few parts of Yuan can have less than Shixun's? And although Yuan's part is not much, but at a glance it is all particularly impressive killing parts, and the last two paragraphs of so handsome C are given to him, what else are you dissatisfied with? β€œ

"Is it possible that it's because these parts are sung by Yuan, so it's killing parts?

"There's a sick upstairs, did we mess with you? Poison is really annoying. ”

"Sisters, after listening to the song, you must not forget to brush the listening of the music source and the playback of the YouTube, although the popularity of the Oba is undoubted, this first line is also very good, but the electronic music part is a little too much, the song style is not the same as before, it is an electronic dance music, it is estimated that it may be a little worse in terms of popularity, so the local music source results may be a little dangerous, so the data must not stop, even if it is just a precursor song, you must also get a score that meets the identity of EXO!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

During the heated discussion on the Internet, Ji Jingyuan and other EXO members, who had already returned to the dormitory early because of the next day's work, were also paying attention to the comments and reactions on the Internet.

But to be honest, after last year's success, the EXO members who now occupy a faulty position, and even Ji Jingyuan, are no longer as full of expectations and apprehension as before at this time, at least they don't make it like twice, and they are excited to hug each other and cry for a while.

They are very confident in their current popularity and fans, even if they post a big bad song, the results of the song will not be much worse, not to mention that "Fire" is a dance song recognized by the team as of excellent quality, and the choreography is super difficult for them to practice, I don't know how much effort it takes.

However, I will be happier to be able to get a better reputation.

After Ji Jingyuan brushed around at this time, he felt very good about the evaluation of himself by fans on the Internet at this time.

There are actually very few parts of the song "fire", although there are a lot of harmonies, but in addition to a beginning, the part that plays the C position is the part of the group dance at the end.

The company is divided like this, and he doesn't care about it, he has already passed the time when he relied on part to compete for fans, and sometimes a little less is conducive to team unity, and he is happy to be idle.

In fact, the C position of the part of the group stepping on the floor a little earlier was not his before, and the C position of this part of the dance strength is usually the big dance Kim Jong-in, but unfortunately his foot was a little sprained and rested for two days when he practiced part, and he didn't catch up.

And as some fans said, the same action feels completely different for different people to dance, similar to this part of stepping on the floor, some people dance very feel, such as Kim Jong-in, Ji Jingyuan, and some people dance very strangely, like Park Chanyeol, always hunched his waist and shrunk his head, jumping up and looking very awkward, the dance teacher corrected it twice to no effect, so he changed his position to the back of the crowd.

The C that led to the final action was given to the best-looking pool view source who jumped.

And the only two parts now seem to have become one of the most eye-catching parts of the song, and they were constantly praised by fans as soon as they were released, which also made Chi Jingyuan feel dark for a while.

It's still the same sentence, it doesn't matter how many parts there are, after all, it depends on who sings it and what the effect is.

Soon an hour passed, and although it was an electronic dance song that was not very popular, "fire" was still unsurprisingly empty due to EXO's popularity and fan base.

After knowing the airborne ranking, the other members of the dormitory didn't say much.,After chatting with each other, they dispersed.,Today there are a lot of activities in the day.,In addition to the first stage, there are several interview activities.,I have to get up very early in the morning.。

"fire~~~ oh oh oh, haha."

Just two minutes after lying on the bed, Chi Jingyuan received a text message from Zhou Ziyu, this Hanhan has obviously been paying attention to Chi Jingyuan's dynamics, and it is estimated that he has just listened to "Fire" and is now a little excited, and the messages sent are a little incoherent.

"So excited that you can already sing? You can just send a voice message. Chi Jingyuan laughed and replied casually.

"No, there are other members around."

Zhou Ziyu said so, but within two minutes of receiving the text message, Chi Jingyuan received another voice message from her.

"fire~~ahoo~~haha"

I don't know if she was hiding in that corner to record, her voice sounds very small and a little clipped, she sings the chorus of "Fire", her voice wants to restore the momentum of the original song but can't help but mix it with laughter, in order to imitate the electronic music and specially 'whoop' a voice, after singing two sentences, she immediately broke the gong and giggled.

In line with her usual level of singing.

Chi Jingyuan listened very happily, and did not sarcastically mock her, but encouraged her sincerely: "Sing well, why don't we kick Wu Shixun and let you join?" ”

"Hahaha...... No! ”

She actually refused a little arrogantly.

Zhou Ziyu also seemed very happy, so excited at such a late hour, I don't know if it was because I had just finished watching the MV of "Fire", or because I was chatting with some people.

"Did you also make up the dance for this song?"

"I made it up with my company's dance teacher."

"It looks so hard, especially the part that steps on the floor together, but it's beautiful! Just now, Momo Oni tried to dance after watching it, but I couldn't imitate it, and I felt that it was much more difficult than "Cheer Up". ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ If it's the same as your dance, we don't have to mess around. ”

"Why do you say that you choreographed the dance...... Zhou Ziyu still has a sense of team honor, and he is obviously a little dissatisfied with what Chi Jingyuan said.

"I won't tell you, I'm sleeping, and I have to get up early tomorrow!"

"Don't sleep! fire~~~oh~~Bow wow wow~~~"

The girl seemed to be a little overexcited, and wanted to imitate the powerful music of "Fire" to dispel Chi Jingyuan's sleepiness.

Chi Jingyuan glanced at the childish text message, shook his head and put the phone aside, he didn't bother to reply, and he was ready to sleep.

Two minutes later, the mobile phone screen lit up again, he reached out and fumbled for a look, and it was sent by Zhou Ziyu:

"Good night."
