Chapter Ninety-Six: A Little Handsome
"What's wrong?"
"Why is it so loud all of a sudden?"
After the trailer of "Monter" in front of me, the screams that erupted through the wall and reached the lounge in the backstage immediately caused many idols to be surprised, and they reflexively covered their ears and looked ahead in surprise.
None of them had just looked at the monitor and didn't know what was going on in front of them.
Even if they knew that it was EXO performing, the sound outside was already loud and noisy after the previous appearance, but now the sound is suddenly a notch higher?
"So you didn't watch the live broadcast just now...... Gfriend's side, Jin Yiyuan glanced at him and sat up from the stool, looked around and didn't know what was going on, and finally looked at her in confusion Zheng Yilin, and pointed to the big screen not far away: "I just played the return trailer of EXO on the big screen." β
"Put the return trailer directly here? On stage? Zheng Yilin opened her mouth in surprise, obviously a little incredulous.
This is a platter concert, and it's not a solo concert, can you still play the comeback trailer VCR here?
"Who made the family EXO?" Captain Jin Shaoqing interjected, withdrew his gaze from the monitor, and shrugged his shoulders.
"It's just a preview, it's too much movement......" Zheng Yilin sighed, feeling that the reaction was so big, she was also a little curious, got up and walked over, standing next to the members and looking at the monitor: "How about the preview?" β
"It's transformed, dark style, super intense." Ding Enfei, who has been watching the live broadcast without stopping, immediately replied to her: "Anyway, the trailer looks very handsome." β
"Are you...... Of course the fans say so. β
"Really, I don't believe you asked Yiyuan."
"Huh?"
"It's very handsome, it's a pity that Ernie didn't see it."
ββ¦β¦β
On the other side of the lounge, Sun Shengwan, the head of Red Velvet, had already sung, she imitated the voice and singing tone of this Chi Jingyuan, and squeezed her eyebrows at Pei Zhuxun, who was smiling next to her:
βyou can call me monsterοΌοΌβ
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Ahhh......h
At this time, the stadium outside was already full of people, screams were everywhere, and the fans at the scene couldn't hold back this sudden surprise at all, and kept shouting.
Jin Junmian picked up the microphone two or three times and couldn't find a chance to say anything, or a few people next to him also screamed at the tip of the microphone "Oh oh oh" twice, so that he could cover some of them, so that the surrounding sound was a little quieter, and found some gaps.
"Let's say hi first." Under the voice of Jin Junmian who could raise himself into the microphone, the nine EXO people saluted to the audience together: "Anihassai, we are EXO ......"
"First of all, it's a great honor to be on the stage of my dream concert again after a year, and it's really great to be able to enjoy the stage with so many people today."
first habitually made an opening, and then Jin Junmian smiled and sold a pass, "And more importantly...... Inside? Do you all know? β
The screams of the audience rang out instantly, and sounds such as 'inside' and 'comeback' could be faintly heard from the middle.
"Inside, that's that we're coming back soon, the double main hits of "missing you" and "Monster", and everyone has seen the trailer just now...... I really prepared very carefully, and I met you again with music and albums after a year, and now I'm actually really nervous, and I hope that everyone can be satisfied by then, and it would be nice to make this year a year with no regrets. β
As he spoke, Jin Junmian suddenly laughed and looked at Chi Jingyuan next to him: "This time the concept is a bit strong, and I can't see it anywhere before...... Speaking of which, one of the title songs of the two songs was written by Yuan xi, guess which one? β
Chi Jingyuan glanced at him, listened to the restless voice below, smiled, did not speak, but pretended to be cute and compared to scissor hands.
"Ahhh......h
No one guessed, only the mountains screamed like a tsunami, and the scene was too hot at this time.
"Which one is it, yes, yes, yes......" In the expectation of many fans below, Jin Junmian sold it for a long time, and finally laughed and shook a shot: "Everyone will know when the time comes." β
"Ann!"
"Ahhh~"
"Hahaha, we will definitely repay everyone with a better stage, I'm really excited to be with so many seniors and juniors, and there will be another stage next, "Boy with Luv"!"
I can't say too much about the introduction and creating gimmicks, some suspense still has to be left, Jin Junmian didn't say anything after arousing the interest of fans without two sentences, and started the next stage directly.
In the sound of complaining and cheering, soon everyone stood in their positions, and the music of "Boy with Luv" sounded, and when Ji Jingyuan stood in the middle and made the iconic opening and turning back part in a warm atmosphere, his face was a little unbearable, and he laughed directly.
The other members are also in very good shape, and the smiles on their faces are almost unbroken.
It's so exciting to be surrounded by the screams and cheers of several people, and to be filled with so much enthusiasm and support.
It's just that obviously the shock and anticipation brought to the audience and fans by the trailer and makeup photos of the new album just now have not eased, even though "Boy With Luv" is a big hit, but many people's minds are still stuck in the fact that they didn't watch the stage seriously just now, but kept talking about the trailer just now.
After all, "Boy with Luv" is also an old song in the fire, and now "Missing You" and "Monster" are their favorites now.
The fiery emotions of the fans are simply uncontrollable, and there are surging flames everywhere that are ready to burst. At the end of EXO's stage, all the artists took the stage, stood on the entire main stage and side stage, and began to sing the ending song and thank the audience at the same time, in front of so many groups of artists, Ellie who was present actually began to chant the name of EXO in unison.
βXO!β XO!β
βXO!β XO!β
kept shouting for dozens of seconds, until he was a little out of breath before he stopped after a cheer, Chi Jingyuan and a few members found a place on the edge of the sub-stage and kept waving their hands downward, although they were very moved, but in fact, they were a little embarrassed,
After all, there were a lot of people around, IOI in front of them, Gfriend in the back, and a few people in red velvet stood in a row not far away and smiled and waved to the audience.
At this station, he always had the feeling that his eyes would drift over from time to time.
EXO is in the limelight today, and Aili's enthusiasm is too hot.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
This year's dream concert itself is broadcast on all platforms, and there are many participating artists, which has attracted great attention from the outside world, and the fan base and online discussions exploded not long after the preview of EXO came out, and within two minutes after the concert ended, several related entries quickly appeared on the hot search, and the red font made people can't help but click on it at a glance.
And not only the local websites of the peninsula, but even the mainland of Xia also previewed with #EXO, which caused a lot of discussion, #ζ’¦ζ³ζΌε±δΌδΉη±»ηε δΈͺθ―ζ‘η»δΈδΊε΄θηηζεε.
"Ahhhh Announced at the dream concert, I'm not dreaming, right? β
"Although the trailer is very short, it is really exciting, the previous "Missing You" can be seen as a lyrical song, and the melody of the only sentence is very good, but there is no obvious breakthrough in concept and makeup, and overall it is expected. But the trailer of "monster" in the back really amazed me, the makeup photos of the dark wind battle damage makeup are really impactful, and the electronic music that keeps repeating sounds a little weird and poignant, really advanced, especially Yuan's sentence at the end 'You can call me monster!' It's so feeling, just looking at this trailer, this EXO's transformation has been successful, and now I'm waiting for the whole album to come out, anyway, I'm really looking forward to it. β
"Famous, is there a high-definition film source? Why should the trailer be watched from the big screen of a stage...... But it's really good-looking. β
"Because the official trailer has not yet been released, this is just a preview of the concert in advance, which is completely a surprise to all fans."
"I love this style, I bought ten new ones, and I have placed an order (screenshot)"
βyou can call me monsterοΌοΌβ
When the discussion was boiling on the Internet, just past midnight, SM Company obediently released the official trailer source, and many fans burst out with unimaginable enthusiasm, and the trailer of less than ten seconds was watched by them over and over again, and the number of hits in less than a few hours has exceeded the title song MV of some groups.
The company also issued an announcement at noon the next day, announcing that the pre-sales of EXO's regular three albums "EX'ACT" had reached 1.3 million, and this record-breaking pre-sale number caused a commotion in the circle.
Even if you know that EXO's album sales figures are indeed measured in 'millions', isn't it a bit too much for you to come up and pre-sell directly.
In fact, after yesterday's dream concert, and after the first wave of teasers were released today, a large number of new orders were received in many places, obviously these two teasers made fans very satisfied, and directly raised a lot of expectations, so that the number of pre-sales has increased significantly, but for a while, SM was not fully counted and not counted.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
During the recess of Cheongdam Middle School, two girls in school uniforms were getting together, secretly looking at the comments on a mobile phone, and excitedly discussing:
"You watched it too?"
"Of course! The trailer of the three episodes exploded directly as soon as it came out, and the battle-damaged makeup was so handsome! I decided to buy ten carts of posters and go back and cover the entire wall of my bedroom! β
Choi Woo-jeong, who has bangs and bangs, is extremely excited to express her grand wishes, with a smile of great anticipation on her face, as if she has imagined the happy scene surrounded by the posters of the Oba.
"yes!" Jin Zhiyun, who was tied with a pigtail next to him, also nodded in approval, and said in a chatter: "I heard that as soon as the trailer for the dream concert came out last night, many people in the fan base exploded directly, all of them were discussing the style and makeup of the Obas this time, and everyone was very satisfied and amazing with the dark style this time, and it felt similar to the response when the trailer of "Roar" came out. β
βYou can call me monsterοΌοΌβ
As she spoke, she seemed to cover a sentence of Chi Jingyuan's singing in the trailer, and exaggerated her hand to make a circle: "This sentence is really handsome...... I've also seen a lot of Ernie have booked a lot of albums, and the pre-sales have gone up a lot in one night. β
"I'd like to buy a few more, too, but it seems that the separate cover of Yuan Oba is gone, so I can't buy it." Cui Youzhen sighed, and sorrow that did not belong to her age appeared in her eyes.
"Of course, Oba's single envelope is the best-selling, and it has long been difficult to buy." Jin Zhiyun first responded as a matter of course, then sighed as well, and began to habitually scold the company: "SM These idiots don't know how to prepare some inventory for Yuan Obado, don't you know that Oba's fan purchasing power is the strongest?" β
"But in fact, it can't all be Yuan Oba's, otherwise no one will buy the covers of other Oba's, which is not conducive to the soul of the group."
"Yes!"
The two girls looked at each other very understandingly, and they reluctantly forgave SM in this minute.
As she spoke, Cui Youzhen looked at the EXO concept photo quoted by a marketing account on her mobile phone, and licked her lips in great anticipation: "Anyway, the makeup of this return is so good-looking, Oba will definitely release a few god-level cards, right?" I don't know if I'll be able to draw it. β
"Definitely, this makeup is really handsome. I ordered five, hoping to see it. β
"Which version of the album did you buy?"
"Of course it's the dark version, but the bright version is also handsome...... But the dark style cover is the most amazing, the battle damage makeup, Kpop is the most handsome makeup, right? β
This time, EXO's regular three albums still produced the Korean and Chinese bilingual versions of the album as usual, and at the same time, in addition to the separate covers of each member, different covers and pictorials were shot according to the different styles of the two title songs, and according to the covers, they were also divided into two versions for sale, namely the dark version and the bright version.
"Of course, anyway, this time the trailer and concept found me shock and surprise, that is, 13 years of roaring, although the song of the second album last year is very good, but the concept and style feel not as handsome as this time......"
Saying that, Jin Zhiyun couldn't hold back the enthusiasm in his heart, leaned on the table, slapped the table twice, stomped his feet and howled: "Ahhhh β
"Let's see if SM will send out a little more material in the past two days, and I don't know if there will be any follow-up reprints of the three episodes this time......" Cui Youzhen was also a little anxious, but as she spoke, she seemed to remember something, and picked up her mobile phone and inquired: "By the way, the Oba Guys are back on the 9th, and I'll see which competitors have released songs recently......"
She tapped a few times on the screen, looked at the search results that appeared, and began to say to herself: "EXID for the first full-length album released by One? It's okay, EXID is already mushy, just Hani is a bit popular, and the other members are nobody cares. The two songs released last year are exactly the same tune as "Up and Down", which is purely foolish, and deserves to flop......"
"LUNA who debuted solo at the end of May? She's more musy and still nobody cares......"
"And the DIA that returned on the same day on the 9th, which regiment dares to collide with us? I've never heard of it. Cui Youzhen didn't find a few decent opponents for a long time, and raised his head: "How do you feel that there is no one who can fight." β
"You don't know." Jin Zhiyun looked at her and blinked: "There were several groups that were announced to return in early June, what sistar WG, but after SM announced the return date of EXO Oba in May, several groups that originally said that they would return in early June were all postponed, haha, they were all scared away after hearing the name of XO!" β
Her tone was extremely proud, and her face was full of pride: "Count them as acquaintances, and know who hits and who dies in the Wuli Heavenly Group." β
Saying that, she finally added: "I also heard Ernie break the news that Gfriend is also ...... I don't know if it's true or not, I think it's true! All of them anyway! β
The peninsula market is so big, and the general trend combination of itself and large companies to avoid the date of return is a secret to the survival of small company idols, especially after half a year of competition between EXO and bigbang last year, I saw the competition between the boss and the second, and all the subsequent combinations have no heat at all.
"But I really want to bump into Twice." Cui Youzhen remembered some unpleasant things last month, and her face was a little ugly: "Some time ago, they obviously lost the song, but they can still be so arrogant." β
Jin Zhiyun patted her generously: "Forget it, "Cheer Up" is still Jingyuan Oba's song, for Jingyuan Oba's sake, forgive them." β
The two looked at each other with a smile and forgave twice for a minute for the time being.
"Hurry up to the 9th!"
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Is the injury serious?"
"A little bit, the doctor said to rest for a while, about a month...... It's not particularly serious, but it just really hurts. β
"Check this injury well...... By the way, I know a professor who is very good at this, and I will introduce him to you if you need him. β
"Thank you, Oba."
In the lounge in the backstage of the Olympic Hall in Seoul Olympic Park, Ji Kyung-won leans back on the sofa.
Today is June 8th, and it is also the day before their EXO official return to hold the comeback showcase, at this time, the lounge is wide open, people are very busy, some of the other members next to him are sorting out their makeup in front of the mirror, and some are dancing there to move their bodies at this last moment, while he is a little bored waiting to appear, while texting with Yu Dingyan.
Yu Dingyan has had something happen in the past two days, a few days ago, JYP gave her the wild variety show "Jin Bingwan's Law of the Jungle", and she went to New Caledonia, Oceania, with the program team for filming.
As a result, two days before filming, when a program was recording a horseback ride, the horse ridden by the guest next to him suddenly went crazy and kicked and injured himself, and he kicked him directly on the leg several times.
I heard that the kick was quite hard.,Kicked to the bone and can't walk.,After the local inspection, I stopped the recording of this episode of the show and was sent back to Seoul overnight.,The inspection seems to be quite serious.,To be absent from the event for more than a month.γ
The injury to the legs, especially the bones, is very serious for idols, and Chi Jingyuan has been injured several times before, but he will do a complete examination every time, and his recovery is good.
However, if it is not done well, it will often recur, and Kim Jong-in in the team is one of the representatives, his ankle injury is good, and the injury is recycled back and forth...... After Ji Jingyuan heard the news, he directly sent a text message to greet him, after all, Yu Dingyan was also one of the few people he was most familiar with in TWICE.
On the other side, in the dormitory of TWICE, Yu Dingyan, who had moved back to the dormitory from the hospital, was lying on his bed, with a smile on his face, holding his mobile phone and looking in a good mood. And the good eldest sister Lin Nalian was sitting next to her at this time, stepping on a pair of slippers, with a pink hairband tied on her head, and she was peeling oranges for Yu Dingyan very righteously.
While peeling it, after seeing Yu Dingyan's movements, she poked her head and looked at her mobile phone: "What did he say to you?" β
"Jingyuan Oba asked me if my injuries were serious, and said that I could introduce a good professor to let me check it out......"
Lin Nalian pursed her lips when she heard this, and when she heard the names of some people, she habitually began to question: "It's just talking......"
"It's sent." It's just that she was interrupted as soon as she spoke, and Yu Dingyan looked at the newly sent short letter on her phone: "'Seoul Samsung Hospital...... Professor Pei Xianzhe...... I'll say hi to him, you just go straight to it.'"
"Forehead ......" Lin Nalian, who had just maliciously slandered, immediately felt a little red, she glanced at her mobile phone, and then glanced at Yu Dingyan, who looked obviously a little moved, opened and closed her mouth, and said in a very small voice: "Is it so good?" β
"Jingyuan Oba has always been very good." Yu Dingyan smiled, glanced at the eldest sister with a strange expression, lowered his head and typed, and said as a matter of course: "I met him once with Ernie before, and I didn't talk much, and then every time he saw me, he would take the initiative to say hello and say come on, I was still a trainee at that time...... I think so Ernie too. β
Seeing that her good sister seemed to have a tendency to rebel, listening to what was said in her mouth, Lin Nalian blinked, and after thinking for a while, her eyes seemed to be flashing with the brilliance of approval, but she just appeared, she didn't know what she remembered, and suddenly shook her head violently, shaking it very hard like a rattle, flicking her hair back and forth several times, and the flesh on her face was shaken.
Shaking her head twice, she seemed to convince herself to confirm her position, and there was a determined look in her eyes. Then I suddenly felt an itch on my face, and then I realized that when I shook my head vigorously just now, my hair had been shaken by myself, and at this time, it was messy and covered my facial features, looking like a female ghost.
She hurriedly put down the orange in her hand, lowered her head and quickly brushed her hair with her hand, and then looked at Yu Dingyan, who started to knock on the screen again, while brushing her bangs, her head poked over again: "What are you talking about?" β
"Isn't XO coming back tomorrow, I wish Jingyuan Oba and their return goes well, by the way, praise the trailer and concept photos of the new album...... XO's response to this trailer and promotional photos is really good, and the popularity on the Internet is too high these days, not their fans are discussing it...... But it's really handsome, and I really like this style of their transformation. β
Lin Nalian, who retracted her head and played with her bangs again, was noncommittal, and after a few seconds, she snorted twice, lowered her head again, and spoke reluctantly when she couldn't see her face clearly because of her hair:
"It's a little handsome......"
β¦β¦
On the other side, the agent walked into the lounge and clapped his hands vigorously: "Okay, check it out one last time, and it's ready to play!" β
Hearing this, Chi Jingyuan put his phone in his bag, stood up and stretched comfortably, moved his body, and after checking the mirror for the last time, he walked out behind the large army.
It's finally coming back again......
