Chapter 124: Cheering Stick

…………

"This is our new baton?"

In a studio in Jiangnan District, Chi Jingyuan was looking at a snow-white cheering stick in his hand, fiddling with it in his hand with novelty, and asked Wu Shixun, who was sitting not far away playing with his mobile phone, while playing.

After the dinner last night, he followed the other members of EXO back to the company to practice together, and he didn't dance for nearly half a month, which was really a little rusty...... Fortunately, I practiced more before to form muscle memory, and after jumping a few times and slowly getting acquainted with it, I got my feeling back.

And today everyone got up early in the morning, came to the preset venue to continue filming the MV of the title song of the unfinished reprint album, at this time everyone was doing modeling in the beauty room that came with the studio, and Chi Jingyuan, who had already done it, was sitting on the sofa behind him and was bored, and suddenly found a brand-new support stick in the assistant's hand, and took it directly with great interest.

If the hottest thing that EXO fan Ellie has discussed recently, in addition to Ji Jingyuan's sudden absence from team activities and the end of the three albums, it is the official release of this new generation of fan support sticks.

On July 4th, SM officially released the second generation of EXO fan support sticks, referred to as the second generation of 'Elite sticks', compared to the first generation of Elite sticks launched in 13 years, this time the second generation has made a new upgrade and improvement, in addition to still using the original EXO logo, the overall model has become more refined, and the color scheme has changed from the original black to a silver-white color that matches the support color.

And the most important thing is to add a new central control color-changing technology in this generation of Aili sticks, which can be connected to the central console through Bluetooth, and the chip in the support stick receives the signal, so as to realize the unified color change of all the support sticks in the whole field, and achieve a very shocking on-site effect.

This kind of support stick for the central control unified color change technology is still a very new thing for the entire Kpop fan group, at the beginning of Shinee used the central control bracelet for the first time in his solo concert, which caused a sensation in the fandom at that time and aroused a lot of interest.

It's just that SM didn't continue to make this thing for Shinee, but instead launched the second-generation support stick for EXO after making product improvements with its partner companies.

They also applied for a patent specifically for this, so at the moment there is only SM in the entire Kpop, or only EXO.

You must know that not all groups have official support sticks, and this kind of official support sticks are expensive, and the price of each genuine support stick is around 30,000 to 40,000 won, which is several times more expensive than ordinary regular albums, and even fans can't buy it casually.

And even if someone buys it, it's useless if the number of people buy isn't much, and it's useless if there are not enough fans.

A combination that is not popular enough and has insufficient purchasing power of fans to launch this kind of thing can only be self-inflicted.

Men's groups and women's groups are also different, men's group fans have strong purchasing power, and generally men's groups will consider launching exclusive official support sticks after they have debuted for a period of time, and the company will only consider launching an exclusive official support stick after the group has a good popularity

And the girl group ...... None of SM's girl groups currently have their own official support sticks, and even Girls' Generation, which has been debuting for nine years.

EXO launched the first generation of Aice Stick in the second year of its debutSM, and in 16 years, it was updated and launched the second generation.

During this time, the launch of the second-generation Aili stick has caused quite a heated discussion in the fan group, and Alie is naturally full of enthusiasm, and it is widely praised for the new generation of support sticks, and fans of other families are also hard to hide their envy.

It is foreseeable that in the future, the performances that EXO attends, whether it is a solo concert or a platter concert, or even a variety of award ceremonies, as long as there is a place where Ellie haunts on a large scale, the shock and novelty of the unified discoloration of the whole audience, just the momentum and effect of the support will instantly open up the grade with other idols, and the big TOP will come out at once.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Wu Shixun next to him glanced at him after hearing the voice, but he didn't bother to reply.

"How do you connect this to the central control?"

Ji Jingyuan didn't care, and after fiddling with the Ali stick in his hand for a while, he asked again.

"Hoo ......"

Wu Shixun exhaled, put down the mobile phone in his hand, and looked at it a little impatiently, but after taking a look, he still said: "Download a "wyth" APP on your mobile phone first, or "EXO-L" can also be ......"

"I have EXO-L, and then what?"

"Then turn on Bluetooth."

"Uh-huh~" Chi Jingyuan took out his mobile phone and followed the operation with great interest.

"Then find the entrance to the support stick in the APP, and the homepage is there, obviously...... Got it? Click in, click on the binding to bind your Aili stick through the Bluetooth link, and then select the performance date and your seat information, and then the Aili stick can match the selected concert session, and you can achieve central control......"

Wu Shixun explained to Chi Jingyuan in a rambling manner, and just when Chi Jingyuan followed his fingers, completed all the operations, and was about to bind, he added at the end: "We don't have a performance now, so you can't connect." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Chi Jingyuan, who was full of anticipation, heard this just when he was about to play, and couldn't help but raise his head and glance at him with a frown.

Asi, didn't you say it earlier?

Sensing the triumphant smile in this person's eyes, Ji Jingyuan shook his head and didn't care, put down his phone and didn't bind it, and continued to play with this Aeri stick, which was still very novel to him.

Keep pressing the on/off button,EXO's logo also keeps flashing dazzling cosmic latte silver white,The color like a star is extremely eye-catching in the dressing room,Several members who are doing modeling in front can't help but glance at the pool Jingyuan behind through the mirror,The expression is a little strange。。

After playing for a while, Chi Jingyuan looked up again and asked, "Didn't you say that there are many colors?" Why is mine only silvery-white, how can I brighten up the other colors? ”

"If you don't connect to the central control software, there is only one color, silver and white, and only after connecting can it become a variety of colors, and the frequency will be automatically adjusted."

"And how can there be words in the lining of the tube under this LED? Let me see...... LED43 D-whatever, how come there is a tiger-like pattern? What is this? ”

"This is an anti-counterfeiting mark, which proves that you are holding a genuine ......"

Chi Jingyuan asked and he replied, and after explaining a few times, Wu Shixun became a little impatient, and couldn't help but look at him with great contempt: "Have you had enough?" What's so fun about that? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Chi Jingyuan was stunned in his heart and glanced at him playfully.

It's not fun, why are you so skilled?

When you first came out a few days ago, you all studied it thoroughly, right?

Forget it, I'm too lazy to debunk it.

Pouting, when Chi Jingyuan was about to continue playing, the field attendant walked in from outside and called him out...... PD has something to explain to him about the MV shooting.

This time, the re-release album of the three albums has added a total of five new songs compared to the original version, and it is still a double main song, and the MV will also be filmed for the two title songs, which is more conscientious in terms of configuration.

But...... The reprint of this thing may have nothing to do with the word conscience.

The two title songs of the reissued album are "Blood, Sweat and Tears" and "LOTTO", which are actually not too good compared to the overall quality of the original "Monster" and "Missing".

"LOTTO" is a hip-hop song, which is usually YG's specialty, and SM and EXO, in particular, rarely try this genre, and this style is a new challenge for each member.

In addition, the choreography of this song is very distinctive, with a windmill-like cross-shaped rotation and choreography of the group at the end of the group looks really sensible.

And "Blood, Sweat and Tears", a song written by EXO's collective lyrics, has been given more expectations, and EXO, which has been debuting for four years in this song, will transform and try the style of 'sexy' for the first time in the return to the title song, and it has gone far all at once.

If "Monster" is an unprecedented strong impact, then "Lotto" is very good at finding a corner of this "strong", while "Blood, Sweat and Tears" directly transforms and intensifies this intensity after a short pause.

Chi Jingyuan likes the song "Blood, Sweat and Tears", whether it is the arrangement or choreography, he thinks it is good, but he is not very accustomed to this kind of lazy and sexy style.

The two MVs were not filmed in the same location, but the MV for "LOTTO" was filmed first in the morning, and a prison-like fence had already been built in the studio outside for filming.

"Let's get started"

………………

"Jingyuan Oba is back? I saw someone say that they saw him at a barbecue restaurant in Seoul, and it looked like he was having dinner with the members of XO...... It's already on the hot search. ”

At the beginning of the moonlight, in the practice room of the red velvet building of the SM building, Jin Yilin, who was looking at her mobile phone, suddenly raised her head: "What did he do, he walked for almost half a month during the activity period?" ”

There was no itinerary today, and the five of them gathered together to prepare for the new album, and they had been practicing for a long time from noon to now, excluding dinner time, and the title song "Russian Roulette" was danced over and over again.

At this time, it was not early, and everyone's physical strength was almost exhausted, so they just finished the last dance and finished the practice and rested in the practice room.

"I also have to sign it, and then blow that Jingyuan is good-looking, saying that it is not plastic surgery at all, and there is no change at all, right? I also saw the INS on that hot search. ”

Sun Shengwan sat there with his legs wide open, and said while wiping the sweat on his forehead with a wet towel:

"You came back yesterday...... I remember he said that he was going to shoot some commercial, but I don't know the specifics...... I'm still quite curious, the company clearly wants to keep it secret, and it's not easy to ask him. ”

"But ......"

But Irene Ernie knows for sure.

Sun Shengwan thought in his heart, and looked at Pei Zhuyun not far away with smart eyes, but seeing her current appearance, he thought about it and still didn't finish speaking.

"What kind of advertisement should be so secret, I asked Junmian Oba a few days ago, and he said that the company doesn't let them talk outside......"

Jin Yilin seemed to be a little dissatisfied, and hummed and complained: "If I hadn't known that it was impossible, I would have guessed like those people on the Internet...... What else is it to have a baby......"

As she spoke, she also glanced at the eldest sister opposite, muttering in her heart.

The figure is getting slimmer and slimmer, and it doesn't look like I'm going to have a baby......

And Bae Joo-hyun sat on the side, not far or close to the others, after taking a few sips of ice water, he put the bottle aside, sat cross-legged and looked at the mobile phone with his head down, but his mind was not on the mobile phone, but after hearing the name of the male parent, he paid more attention to the discussion of the members.

She's been tired lately.

After a failed comeback in March, Red Velvet's good momentum last year came to an abrupt halt, and there have been no major events in recent months, in fact, everyone including her is still a little apprehensive about it.

But fortunately, as a new generation of girl groups, SM will not give up on them because of a failed return, and the preparation for the new album has finally officially begun some time ago, and the excellent title song has also rekindled the hope and enthusiasm of the members who have suffered a lot of frustration and pressure in that return.

And in order to have better results in this return, they have been practicing very crazy and tired recently, and in addition, the filming of her first online drama also occupied a lot of energy.

Originally, no matter how tired she was, she was willing to do all this, and it was already very good to be able to film and prepare a new album.

But in the past few days, her mood has suddenly become worse, and physical fatigue is secondary, after all, she has been used to it for so long since her debut.

Mainly there is a lot of pressure on the results of this return, and for Red Velvet, who has already turned over once, it is a return that cannot be defeated.

And beyond that, it's because ......

"Bae so-ji appeared on tvN, suspected of participating in the ghost crew audition"

The voice of Park so-young next to him came from the ear.

It seemed that he was aroused by a news item floating on his mobile phone, and Park so-young couldn't help but chat after reading the news headline with relish:

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Speaking of the official announcement of the participation of Kyungwon Oba Club, there has been a lot of recent news about the drama "Ghost", there are all kinds of gossip, especially the news that several actresses went to tvN auditions have been exposed, Park Shin Hye, Bae so Ji, Yoo In-na, it seems that there is also IU, there are real and fake news......"

"And there are many places on the Internet discussing this new work, I still remember seeing two days ago that there were also a lot of votes, what "Chi Jingyuan's best actress", "Who do you want to play the ghost" and the like, there are still a lot of people involved, I'll take a look......"

Saying that, she became interested, clicked on the web page on the screen, and after a while, she found the vote she had seen, and when she went in, she couldn't help but smack her lips: "Hey, Yigu, several votes Pei Xiuzhi are the first, and several of them are far ahead, obviously the results of the first week of "Arbitrary Attachment" two days ago are average......

"If she can really work with writer Kim Eun-sook and Kyungwon-Oba, tsk......"

"Ahh......hh

Just when Park Xiurong became more and more energetic and a little envious, Sun Shengwan didn't know what nerves he was going to suddenly let out a scream, stood up and trotted over directly, as if he had discovered some earth-shattering secret:

"Xiurong, where did you buy this hairpin? Look good! ”

"Huh? Are you talking about this, it's okay, I'm ......"

Listening to the voice in her ears, Bae Joo-hyun lowered her head, and the air bangs were like a curtain blocking her forehead, so that people couldn't see her expression.

It's just that Bae Joo-hyun, whose cheeks were covered by the shadow of bangs, couldn't help but grit her teeth, and her heart became more and more irritable.

How can I see this name everywhere lately?

It's really annoying.

It also makes people feel a little panicked.
