Chapter Ninety-Seven: Missing

"What are you looking at?"

Sun Naen, who had just finished going to the bathroom, walked into the practice room, but found that several other members were sitting cross-legged on the floor, holding a mobile phone and wearing headphones and not knowing what they were looking at.

“V live.”

"Live streaming."

"EXO's return show case."

No one here treats her as a goddess like a fan, and the voices of the sisters and members sound weak and unenthusiastic, and they each answer piecemeal, but the combination is enough to make people understand.

After nearly a year of changing the operating company, the plan for the regular third album was finally confirmed, and Apink, who had been on vacation and had been idle, finally regrouped and began to prepare the songs in the new album.

Just after the practice, it was like a break, and I don't know who started it, and the few people who stayed in the practice room all took out their mobile phones to watch the live broadcast of V live

“XO?” Sun Naen walked behind Zheng Endi, poked her head to look at her phone screen, looked at it for a while, and then looked left and right, and saw the serious expressions of several other bowed parties: "You are all watching?" ”

"The number one hit of V live now is this.,The number of viewers at the beginning exceeded two million.,I feel like half of the users of the entire APP are in it.,The live broadcasts of other idols are watched a lot less.。 Zheng Endi briefly introduced her.

"Who does the boy group look at if they don't watch EXO? GOT7? Wu Xiarong, who was not far away, raised his head and said as a matter of course.

Sun Naen rolled her eyes when she heard this, she knew that this person had always been a fan of her ex-boyfriend a few years ago, and this kind of biased position was really justified.

"XO is also returning after a year, and the dark style trailer and promotional photos a few days ago have also caused a lot of repercussions, and the popularity is high, and I want to see how their new songs are." Zheng Endi picked up the drink next to him and took a sip, smacking his mouth in enjoyment: "Moreover, I know that one of the double titles has a lyrical song, which was written by Jing Yuan." ”

"How do you know he wrote it?"

"I asked him." Zheng Eundi looked at her and blinked.

"......" Sun Naen glanced at her speechlessly, and also sat down next to Zheng Endi, took out her mobile phone and boarded the V APP.

She's not very interested in boy groups, even EXO is the same, but if it has anything to do with Ji Jingyuan...... She was also quite interested and wanted to take a look.

Although it has been a long time since we broke up, I have already let go. But this kind of man is really hard to forget.

"What a card."

"There are too many people, that's it."

"What are you doing now?"

"I am still introducing the concept of the album this time......"

"suho xi, what does the title of this album 'EX'ACT' mean?" Little, who is the host of this showcase, is holding a script and asking questions to Kim Jun-mian and EXO members on the right.

At this time, the members of EXO next to him stood in a row, each wearing light-colored stage costumes, and had just finished performing the opening "call me baby"

"Hmm...... FIRST OF ALL, EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW THAT 'EX'ACT' MEANS 'CORRECT' AND 'NO GAPS' IN THE DICTIONARY...... At the same time, the concept of the last album was to escape, and now it has escaped, so the name also wants to show everyone the more perfect side of EXO. ”

Even though he had prepared for a long time, Kim Jun-mian still said something upside down when he answered this question, and he tried to explain the concept of the album's title with both hands and feet: "'EX'ACT' is also an abbreviation of 'EXO' and 'ACT', and when it comes to 'ACT'. The first thing that comes to mind is 'action', yes, action, plus 'acting'...... I will work hard in the future! ”

Lit, who was next to him, was about to hold back his laughter when he heard his misty conceptual explanation, and Kim Junmian couldn't say it anymore in the end, and was stuck in the cheers of the fans, and then laughed out loud and finally added.

"Hey, it turns out that there is such a profound meaning." Little nodded with a smile, and then suddenly looked at Chi Jingyuan not far away: "But I still don't understand...... Yuan xi, can you tell us about the meaning of 'EX'ACT'? ”

"Huh?" In the audience's expectant screams, Chi Jingyuan, who was cue, glanced over here, his eyes a little confused: "I didn't understand either." ”

"Hahaha......" Litt laughed out loud, waving his hand card and looking a little messy: "It's not that I don't understand, I want you to explain, add it for Suho." ”

"I ......" Chi Jingyuan blinked: "I don't know." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Jin Junmian, who was laughing out loud: "I didn't come when the meeting was held that day...... Isn't it an abbreviation for EXO and ACT? ”

"Ani......" Jin Junmian waved his hand, he didn't know what to say.

Some of the members around him were laughing, and some were nodding in agreement, and it was obvious that he was not the only one who couldn't figure out these concepts.

Seeing that the Obas above were about to discuss on the spot, the audience below was all happy, cheers came one after another, and Litt also entered the next link directly with a very eye-catching eye:

"The fans at the scene were very lucky, and nearly four million people participated in the selection of the showcase quota this time...... And here today, there are only 2,000 people. ”

"Ahhh......h

According to the usual practice, EXO still did not sell tickets to the public this time, but signed up in the APP of the official fan club EXO-L, and then randomly selected the places, and the enthusiasm for this return of fans after a year is extremely strong, nearly 4 million people participated in the lottery alone, and after random selection, under such a low probability, there were 2,000 fans who appeared in the audience at this time waving Elli sticks.

"But don't regret the fans who couldn't participate, fans all over the world can watch it through V live, and at the same time, Xia Guo's Yinyue Station is also live broadcast at the same time...... Now it's finally time to enjoy the first song from the EX'ACT album. ”

Little shouted loudly into the camera: "EXO three albums, the title song, is now public!" ”

In the midst of the strong cheers, the lights dimmed, and the picture appeared on the big screen, and the trailer VCR of "Missing You" began to play.

In addition to the first version released at the dream concert, SM released two more versions in the following days, both of which were cut clips edited from the original MV, and the three versions were mixed together for a long time.

At this time, the venue staff also quickly moved the equipment and instruments needed to the stage.

By the time the VCR was played, some dim lights shone on the stage again, the soft piano prelude had already sounded, and all the eyes of the audience who were watching the live broadcast had converged on a white piano in the middle of the stage, and the figure sitting in front of the piano, gently tapping the keys.

"Hum ......"

The melodious and tactful sound of the piano, accompanied by the early summer evening breeze blowing in everyone's ears, as soon as this prelude came out, the scene that was still in full swing just now became quiet, as if it was baptized by this melody, began to let go of the restlessness in the heart, and enjoyed listening to the melody in the ear, and some people couldn't help but nod their heads lightly, and hummed with this graceful melody in their mouths.

"The prelude is great!" In the practice room, Kim Nam-joo couldn't help but exclaim, and was immediately stopped by the team leader's glare:

"Shh

Ji Jingyuan skillfully played the piano, starting with a light touch with one hand, and then turning into two hands, with the background sound to complete this fascinating and admirable prelude.

After a few drum beats, he entered the main song, and following the beat, he approached the microphone placed in front of the piano and sang the first line of the whole song in a soft voice: "

"Today is also a normal day."

"It's not embarrassing to be alone."

Even though it is a slightly sad lyrical song, his tone sounds very relaxed, and he does not deliberately pursue some kind of sad appeal, just sings so naturally, but everyone seems to feel a faint sense of loss and regret from the music.

He was playing the piano and singing at the same time, this was the first time that Chi Jingyuan sang solo on the stage, the dim white light reflected on the piano and his face was shrouded in moonlight, and there was a dense atmosphere brewing all around him, and the opening picture seemed to have been frozen, becoming a classic white moonlight in the minds of I don't know how many girl fans.

After Ji Jingyuan's opening part attracted everyone's hearing and vision, Kim Jong-dae's voice came immediately, in addition to him, Oh Se-hoon and Kim Jun-mian slowly walked onto the empty stage, standing in their own positions, dancing gently.

The song "Missing" is a pop lyrical song, according to SM and EXO's conventions for lyrical songs, the distribution of parts of this song is still not very even, and the four lead singers occupy most of the weight as a whole, and the other members basically only have one or two sentences to show their faces, and some people even only have half a sentence.

The company's philosophy of singing lyrics for EXO is like this, there is indeed a big gap between the singing skills and voices of the members, and some parts are completely different from Ji Kyung-won and Oh Se-hoon or Park Chanyeol to sing them, rather than forcibly sharing a little more and letting everyone sing a few more words, it is better to pursue the best stage and musical effect.

However, in order to keep the stage of the lyric song from being boring, the members who did not have a part stood there and had nothing to do, after the song was transformed into the title song, the company made a choreography specifically for "Missing", which is a bit similar to the stage of "Moonlight", the dance movements are very simple, but it has played a lot of help in setting off the atmosphere and the effect of the stage.

"It may be a little empty, maybe I'm still there."

When the part of Admiralty was about to finish, Chi Jingyuan stroked the piano in front of him with both hands, then pulled out the set up microphone, stood up and slowly walked to the middle of the stage, and at the same time skillfully connected the part of the former:

"Then hurry up and brush away all the past events that linger in your heart."

"Even if the answer is clear, it has unwittingly become a prison that has been shackled."

"How can time only go forward."

"I didn't achieve anything in those days."

This part is all rap, Chi Jingyuan is holding the microphone in his left hand while singing, and his right hand is shaking and gesturing at will,

Under the clear pronunciation and rhythmic rap, what does not match the theme style is that he sounds very leisurely, and even has a hint of playful tone, which is obviously a more sad lyrics, with the acoustic guitar sound that swept out from time to time in the background sound, under the interpretation of Chi Jingyuan, the audience feels inexplicably relaxed.

I don't know what the audience watching the live broadcast thinks, but this catchy and rhythmic rap made all the fans at the scene can't help but wave their right hands, and even the silver shining Alice stick in their hands formed a silver sea.

Fans who haven't seen him sing rap for a long time are very excited at this time, and since the surprise of "DOPE" in 14 years, it has rarely been seen that Ji Jingyuan has had a long rap part in the title song.

You finally remember that you still have a rap responsibility......

"Jingyuan Oba rap said super handsome ......"

On the other side, Wu Xiarong couldn't help but exclaim, and before she could finish expressing the longing in her heart, Park Chulong on the side immediately suppressed her seriously with her grandmother's voice: "Be quiet!" ”

“……”

Facing the long-term majesty of the eldest sister, Wu Xiarong didn't say anything, just turned his head and glanced at Jin Nanzhu, and the two pouted together in tacit understanding.

"You're still in my heart......"

With a distinctly continuous rising note, all the other members of EXO also stepped into the arena and began the chorus of the chorus.

"Thinking about it, the day has passed."

"Thinking about it, a year has passed."

"That's how I live. Missing, missing you. ”

Several members dance around their bodies, and several lead singers in the middle cooperate with each other in harmony, melodious background music with gentle vocals, supplemented by cold light lights, a sad scene under the fallen leaves in early autumn seems to appear in front of everyone's eyes, as if seeing a man walking slowly in it, alone, slightly bleak.

And everyone couldn't help but nod their heads when they heard this extremely pleasant melody, this familiar tune is the chorus part that appeared in the trailer, it was just one sentence after the trailer came out, but it directly caused a lot of discussion afterwards, some people are looking forward to what the lyric song that can be selected as the title song in the regular album is like, and some fans are worried that an ordinary lyric song can't hold up the weight of the title song, even if there is last year's "Spring Day" Zhuyu in front.

Many people listen to songs, in fact, they already have a preliminary impression after listening to one or two sentences of the song, likes and dislikes, good and bad impressions have been formed, and the most important and attractive part is naturally the chorus.

At this time, when I heard the original chorus, the first feeling in many people's hearts was:

Really, it's so good......

"The end of the day is incomplete because of you."

"I used to be unable to live without you, but I still live like this."

Many fans at the scene sat in the audience, waving glow sticks, while watching the EXOs performing on the stage, watching Chi Jingyuan, who continued to sing his part after a while, and his heart was full of satisfaction and joy:

This song is really amazing, and it deserves to be used as the title song by wuliXO.

Who said lyric music can't be popular? Who said that lyrics are not poisonous?

Don't you see that male fan uncle sitting in front of him already dangling his legs?

I can already sing the chorus once I listen to it, and I will definitely sing it along with the next paragraph.

Obviously, it's not just one or two people who have this idea, after listening to most of "Missing" with satisfaction, and when it comes to the last chorus, when Ji Jingyuan and the members are singing seriously, many people's feelings have been brewing for so long, and the same gentle voice gradually appeared under the stage that was very quiet just now.

"I want to erase your memory, and a year has passed."

"But I'm still alive like that."

At first, there were only a few people, but after a while, they slowly became more numerous, scattered voices gathered together, they didn't know the lyrics, they just hummed along with the melody, but they became more and more obvious and more pleasant.

And the Ellie are also very careful, knowing that this is the first time that the new song of the Oba has been released, although everyone can't help but hum along with it, they are all paying attention, and their voices are very small.

Countless small sounds like water droplets converged to make a trickle, and at this moment seemed to take the place of accompaniment, surrounding the stage.

Seeing this picture and hearing the sound of enjoyment in his ears, Chi Jingyuan laughed softly, looked around at the silver sea in front of him, and softly sang the last sentence in a long soft voice:

"Missing, missing you."
