Chapter Ninety-Nine: Sooner or Later, It's Over
“You can call me monster!”
He didn't have the smile and warmth that usually appeared on stage, his expression was flat, and his eyes were cold and a little provocative.
It's like a god on high who casually invites everyone to 'you can call me a monster', but doesn't care what other people think.
The dark makeup and clothing, the dim and hazy lighting, the intense music and rising singing, and the facial expressions of Ji Jingyuan, in this moment, this close-up in front of the chorus brought a very strong sense of impact to the fans and audiences.
"Ahhh......h
The screams were very tacit, and I suddenly remembered that the fans who were originally seriously appreciating the stage were shocked by this killing part, and they couldn't hold back the excitement in their hearts.
And obviously it's not just ordinary fans, Kim Ji-ni, who was watching the live broadcast in the practice room, was also stunned by A, and there was a close-up of the live broadcast, which brought a little stronger than the scene, and she felt that the close-up part of Ji Jingyuan was too impactful.
She was just about to say something, when there was another exclamation next to her:
"Wow, this move ......"
She quickly calmed down, lowered her head and looked over:
In between, Chi Jingyuan stood in the C position after singing his part, and "monster" directly entered the climax of the chorus, and the formation of the 'human' shape was lined up, and an amazing group dance began under the lead dancer of the C position.
“I’m creeping in your heart babe”
Cross your arms, shake your fingers, cross your legs, and step on the ground continuously with one foot in the air.
All kinds of sharp choreography are extremely smooth and constantly displayed, at a glance everyone's movements are a frequency, just looking at it feels very difficult, quite distinctive choreography in the neat and uniform knife group dance interpretation directly pushed the atmosphere of the stage to a climax.
In the whole stage, Ji Jingyuan, who is standing in the center and leading the dance, is the most eye-catching, with a tall and smooth body, dark makeup and costumes, especially that face, which has no of the signature smile of the past and has become cold, but it reflects a completely different feeling, and in the indifference, it is infected with the aggression that makes fans excited.
At this time, although there were nine people on the stage, the one in the C position was too eye-catching, and his face alone was amazing, and some movements were made from him to look better, so that many people's eyes could not be taken away from him at all.
It's a pity that because today is a showcase, I can't put on makeup in advance, and it's too late to change clothes, so this early stage Chi Jingyuan and others didn't paint the most distinctive battle damage makeup of this return.
Otherwise, with the part of Chi Jingyuan, I don't know how many more Yan Fan will increase in the circle.
After a series of wonderful group dances, the team on the left side of the 'human' shape suddenly walked out in a row of neat strides under the leadership of Chi Jingyuan.
The team on the right did not follow, but from the opposite direction directly interspersed from the middle, just now the extremely neat 'human' formation seems chaotic but concise and crisp under the position, many people have not seen what is going on, it instantly became an 'X' position.
And X happens to be the EXO's team name character.
"Oh Mo!"
The audience who saw it clearly couldn't help but immediately exclaim, after the stage of "monster" started, people were constantly surprised, and they always felt that they couldn't get enough of it, and at this time, this 'X' shaped choreography was even more amazing, and it was so smooth to finish, it was really handsome.
Looking down, with music and singing, with the presentation of the entire choreography, more and more audiences are excited and more satisfied with the stage of this song.
Unlike most other boy bands' choreography, stage and even music, people can roughly understand what is going on at a glance, but this time EXO showed a lot of very novel and avant-garde movements and moves on the stage of "monster", which is very imaginative.
It's something that is hard to see in some boy group performances, and even for fans of the Kpop music scene, it's a performance that can surprise them.
The choreography of "monster" this time is a collaboration with a very powerful choreographer team from SM and Ami, and it is a joint effort to complete the theme style of the song and the characteristics of EXO.
Stand in a herringbone position, cross your legs and keep your upper body moving, and step on the ground four times in a row.
The whole team moves in an X-shape.
Jin Junmian rushed forward alone, and eight people shook their backs to the waves.
The regression wraps around the stage around the midline, and the transition is very smooth like a translation.
Sit on the ground and turn in place with the palm of your hand as the fulcrum.
Even Park Chanyeol played acrobatics, jumping directly from the ladder posed by several members of Oh Se-hoon, jumping to the front of the stage like a flying fish and starting rap movements.
Almost every wonderful movement can cause a burst of wanton cheers and screams, although it is only the first time to watch the performance of this song, the standard support frequency and unified support vocabulary that fans should have have not been made, but there is no need for these, the atmosphere of this first stage is about to explode, and the reaction in the live broadcast room is not too much.
At the end of Park Chanyeol and Oh Se-hoon's two-person rap, the drum beat and rhythm are getting faster and faster, faster and faster, and they are about to reach a peak and seem to be about to explode, but all the music suddenly stops abruptly and stops.
At this moment, Chi Jingyuan's shout-like voice sounded again, ethereal and eye-catching in the accompaniment that became quiet, with a hint of madness, and in an instant, it appeared in everyone's hearts:
“You can call me monster!”
In the next second, the intense music sounded again, seamlessly connected, as if it had never stopped. The explosion of fireworks also appeared in its own brilliant brilliance, and with a strong high-five of Ji Kyung-won and Kim Jong-in in the center of the stage, the last nine people began the group dance of the last chorus, and the stage performance of the whole song reached its peak.
And after the passionate chorus, the melody suddenly becomes deep at the end.
“Creeping creeping creeping.”
“Creeping creeping creeping.”
In the dim light, they chanted the lyrics softly, the melodious tones repeating themselves, their voices getting lower and lower, as if to say something.
The cold-blooded monster, after hunting in the emotional hunting ground, will also return to the nest to rest.
At the end of the stage, everyone moved and posed for the ending move, Kim Jun-mian and Kim Min-seok squatted in front, the other seven people stood behind, and Ji Kyung-won stood in the middle to the right, against the light, and together with the others, he finally raised his chin and gasped softly.
A second later, the stage ended and the lights came on.
And along with it was the Alice stick that was already waving and about to fly out, and the deafening cheers of the entire 2,000 spectators.
"Ahhh......hh
"Ahhh......h
"Do you like this song?"
"Inside!"
"Are you satisfied?"
"Satisfied!"
Feeling the shocking cheers, Ji Jingyuan stood in a row with the other members on the stage, sweat constantly breaking on his forehead, and water droplets ran down his cheeks and dripped on the ground.
After June, the temperature is getting higher and higher, and after dancing such a fierce dance in two layers of stage costumes, the whole person feels hot, and he feels that the long sleeves of the inner lining have been soaked with sweat.
But even though it's very hot and a little tired, he can't help but chuckle when he looks at the reaction from the audience.
To be honest, although I am very confident in myself and the group, I am still a little nervous every time I show a new album hairstyle and new work in front of the audience, which is a kind of anxiety that is unique to when my homework is checked and evaluated by teachers or judges.
But at this time, the enthusiasm of the audience gave him a lot of encouragement, and he was a lot more relieved.
The stage of the two title songs was completed, and the other included tracks in this album were also introduced, and the main tasks of this showcase have been completed, and they chatted for a while, and they also shared a piece of 'three commemorative cakes' together, and this live broadcast also came to an end, and Kim Junmian took the lead and began to say goodbye.
"Then the showcase is coming to an end."
"Today is June 8, 2016, and it's ten o'clock now...... Kim Junmian looked at his watch: "Two hours later, at 0:00 tomorrow, the MV and music source of the three episodes will be released at the same time, please pay more attention." ”
Kim Jong-dae also said, "I will be holding official events with you from tomorrow, and I hope you will support us." ”
"We will definitely work harder and hope to be able to satisfy everyone."
Several other members also interacted with fans and gave some testimonials, promoting the upcoming return of the three episodes.
No matter whether the combination is on fire, it is also to be promoted.
"Let's say goodbye one last time, then." Jin Junmian nodded and was about to say his final goodbye, when Bian Boxian next to him suddenly proposed: "Then we are like newcomers who have just debuted, we are very bold when greeting, but we are not very neat." ”
"Ahhh......h
While fans were excited, apparently his statement was questioned by the other members: "Untidy? Wasn't our greeting when we first debuted neat? ”
"It's very neat."
"Ani, it's not neat at all."
Park Chanyeol also recalled with a smile at this time: "I remember when we were newcomers, we didn't need a microphone to say 'we are one', they all shouted it, especially the 'one', which was very loud." ”
When he said it, he deliberately increased the volume of one, like a roar.
"Then let's take off the microphone once, and be sure to be louder."
"I think it's good."
One sentence by one, it was quickly decided, Jin Junmian glanced left and right and began to say his final goodbye: "Then please support the regular third album "EX'ACT" this time, let's go here today." ”
"This is EXO ......"
Speaking of this, Chi Jingyuan, together with all the other members, removed the headset from his mouth with a smile, and shouted out purely by his voice without microphone and stereo: "We are one, Kangsang Mida." ”
The fans in the audience suddenly felt a little sensational, especially some old fans who had been around for many years, and they all cheered unpassionately at this time.
Chi Jingyuan smiled happily and shouted very hard, inexplicably he seemed to have returned to the rookie period four years ago.
Not to mention, at that time, the introduction did not use a microphone.
……
At the end of the live broadcast of the showcase, according to the excitement of the V LIVE staff, this live broadcast once again set the highest record since the release of V LIVE with more than 5 million viewers and close to one billion love likes.
However, except for some interested fans who wrote down the data and sent big-character posters to slap people in the face, this kind of record did not pay much attention at this time, and everyone enthusiastically discussed the new album songs performed by EXO in the showcase just now, especially the two title songs "Missing" and "monster".
"I watched the live broadcast throughout the whole process, and in addition to the satisfying songs, the interaction between the members was really cute."
"Monster is my god! That arrangement is really amazing, and the TOP1 of the local group songs in my mind has appeared! ”
"TOP1 is not enough, "monster" is obviously a dance music with a strong style, this kind of song is not easy to become a hit song, but this return is definitely the pinnacle of EXO's debut, and every member is a little too handsome."
"The choreography and arrangement of "Monster" can be superb, this stage alone has directly opened up a notch for other boy groups, and the dark style this time is really too feeling."
"Pure passerby, I don't feel like EXO, I just watched it, but "Missing" is really good, so I listened to it again, I can basically sing the chorus, and Chi Jingyuan's rap is also very good, I have just placed an order to pre-order the album, and after the sound source comes out, I will have to cycle the single for at least a week."
"I'm a new fan, I just finished watching the showcase, although the Oba and the stage are really handsome, but a lyrical song, a dance music, will it affect the results."
"I can only say that new fans are still inexperienced, fan EXO, the last thing you have to worry about is grades."
The popularity is getting higher and higher, and before the release of the album and the MV has not been released, it has already occupied several entries on the hot search, the most eye-catching of which is that in addition to the #EXO three series, #EXO "monster", there is actually #Yuan Shuai's excess, #Yuan说叫他monster之类的相关热搜.
That is, Chi Jingyuan didn't have time to see it at this time, otherwise his face would definitely be red for a while.
Two hours later, when the discussion on the Internet was the most enthusiastic and the fans were the most urgent, SM released all the music sources and MVs of EXO's regular third album "EX'ACT" on time, and the fans who had been anxiously waiting for an unknown amount of time clicked in as soon as possible after refreshing the website countless times.
This time, the MV of "Missing" is more independent, shot in the style of lyrical songs, without mixing more concepts and metaphors, while the MV concept of "monster" is a continuation of last year's second album, showing EXO's story about what happened after losing his superpowers through various camera techniques and subtle hints.
In the MV, through flashbacks, all the members are shown to be struggling and powerless when they lose their superpowers and are captured, one by one they are injured in the battle, and the picture of being caught and locked up is also desperate, and the final rescue also sublimates the theme of each other's fate, and in the end, everyone escapes, and against the light together, the back of walking side by side towards the darkness of the deep and invisible future also moved many people, and immediately became a new favorite of many fans.
The plot and the concept are in the same vein.,Fans who like it like it very much.,Every time you explore, there's a feeling of treasure hunting.,I'm very excited when I get to that point.,There's a feeling that the concept of your idol is superior.。
But there are actually a lot of people who don't care.,Many people only know an EXO superpower stalk.,After all, being too famous is the hallmark of the whole group.,And the specific concept of the other albums doesn't understand at all.,I'm not interested.,Every time it's purely with an appreciative eye to listen to the song.,Look at the MV.
And this time, the MV of "monster" has achieved a balance to a certain extent, whether it is the concept, or the dance, and even the picture of the entire MV is very good, the first feeling after watching the MV is that this MV is really shot very carefully, full of avant-garde concepts and camera switching, all kinds of costumes and backgrounds can be seen at a glance that a lot of resources have been invested, the overall lens texture is full, without any perfunctory and cheap feeling, and at first glance, it is obviously a notch from all aspects of the MV of other boy groups.
After appreciating it, whether it is a fan or not, it can only make people sigh in their hearts:
This is the level that a TOP-level men's group MV should have.
"It's really handsome, lip rings, face chains, war-damaged makeup...... Ahhhh ”
"The back at the end is really amazing, SM is really good."
"I don't know how the results are, this hot real-time listening should explode, right? Why hasn't the sound come out yet? ”
When fans were frantically brushing up on YouTube and constantly replaying, the list of major music sources on the peninsula was refreshed in an hour, the eight major music source lists "monster" were all killed in real time, "Missing" ranked second, and the top ten of the ten songs in the whole biography were airborne into the top ten of seven lists.
With the release of the album, the ranking of the precursor song "Fire", which has been released for three weeks, has also begun to soar, and it has directly re-entered the inner ring, occupying the top position along with other album songs. Looking at the Melon real-time list from top to bottom, the three logos of "EX'ACT" are all the same, and the singer names are also EXO in a unified row.
No matter how popular the song was a day ago, how high the number of listeners was, at this time, they were all pressed behind by an album, although the ranking may fluctuate after the popularity, and it will rise or change, but at this moment, the picture of the top ten of the entire list is all the name of a group still brings a lot of shock, and unconsciously produces a feeling of the return of the king.
As long as we return, in the realm of Kpop, you will be crushed by me.
However, when many people see the singer's name, they still think that it is very normal and there is no accident, even if it is a black fan, they can only secretly envy and slander:
'The garbage rules of the melon list are not fair at all, the more fans there are, the advantage is the advantage, when will the version be revised? ’
'The local group relies on fans, and a group of data female workers don't have their own things every day? Does SM pay your salary? Does the official care that there is still any heavenly reason? Kpop will be over sooner or later!! ’
'It's over! It's been over since last year! ’
That is, our stick has not returned, otherwise it will make you look good. 'Something like that, and YY.
At a time when the sound source of SM artists is becoming more and more bleak, EXO, a boy group, through its own super popularity, has stood up to save the poor reputation of the entire company's music source.
