Chapter 187: Coincidental
"Then on September 10th, we will work with EXO to try to make the best performance."
"Infinity, challenge!"
After all the members of EXO and Yoo Jae-seok shouted the show's standard pose slogan in front of the camera, the long practice for the first half of the show came to an end, and everyone got ready to get on the plane and head to Bangkok, Thailand, the destination of the show.
This time, the participation of the other MCs in "Infinite Challenge Dance King Special" is very low, except for everyone who came out to show up in the middle detection link, only the protagonist Yoo Jae-seok came to Bangkok this time, and Jung Jun-ha, who played a cameo role as his agent.
Coincidentally, EXO's participation in Chi Jingyuan is not very sufficient, because he is often absent from the crew when filming the special, although he made up a few single practice shots, but he was also cut a lot by PD, after all, he can't always leave the country alone.
In the early stage, except for a few practice scenes, he couldn't be found, and it wasn't until the second half of the show, when EXO came to Bangkok to prepare for a concert, that Ji Jingyuan's shots were obviously more.
Although it is a rehearsal, Ji Jingyuan is very serious, he has little practice time for the dance of this song, and his proficiency has not yet reached the level of secret muscle memory, and there is a possibility of mistakes after going on stage.
"Well done!"
Liu Jae-seok followed EXO8 people to rehearse on the stage, and after a stage, the onlooker agent Jung Jun-ha applauded vigorously and cheered him up loudly.
"Where did you do well...... but unfortunately Liu Zaishi didn't appreciate it, but frowned, looking a little headache.
He was speechless for the lack of eyes of this temporary agent, and he made several mistakes in his movements and movements during the rehearsal just now, and he himself was a little overwhelmed.
It's okay backstage, but as the concert approaches, he doesn't feel so calm after standing on the stage, and years of MC experience don't seem to have any effect at this time, and the whole person becomes apprehensive.
After that, I rehearsed several times in a row, but there were all kinds of problems, and the atmosphere at the scene became a little depressing.
And EXO is not just a stage for "dancing king", all the songs in the normal concert are somewhat rehearsed, and there is no time to keep grinding this song, and there is not much improvement after rehearsal twice, so I have no choice but to skip it temporarily and start rehearsing other processes.
And Liu Zaishi walked to the remote side and back, looking at EXO on the stage in front of him, frowning and very anxious.
It's hard for other people to help with this kind of thing.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, all the fans and spectators began to enter.
Liu Zaishi's tension on his side has not been relieved, standing still and sweating profusely, the control and funny that he was best at in the past have also begun to become deliberately unnatural, and it is really difficult for people to have confidence in him by looking at his appearance,
Although it is a variety show and is recorded, EXO's concert is a real live performance, and the Kpop market in Thailand and Southeast Asia is very large, both XO and Yoo Jae-seok have many fans, and the news of the cooperation between XO and Yoo Jae-seok has already been spread, and many viewers today are actually coming for the special stage of "dancing king".
Once there is a mistake, the consequences are really serious, and no one else can help him in this kind of dance performance, and from the state of the rehearsal just now, it seems that there is a high probability that there will be a mistake, and at this time, the members of EXO have also begun to organize their minds to prepare for the appearance, and under all kinds of tension and worry, the atmosphere of the entire backstage has begun to become a little depressing.
Finally, before going on stage, Chi Jingyuan looked at Liu Zaishi, who was restless next to him, and took the initiative to speak to relieve himself:
"It's normal to be nervous when you first go on stage, and when we first debuted at our first showcase, I was shaking nervously backstage, and my whole mind was empty when I went up to perform...... Even now I'm a little nervous. β
Liu Zaishi breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and asked curiously: "Jingyuan, you have held so many concerts, do you still feel nervous?" β
"Originally, I wasn't nervous...... Chi Jingyuan shrugged, looking a little relaxed: "But because it's with my brother." β
"Is that so...... Hahaha. β
Liu Zaishi laughed a little embarrassed, his face wrinkled like a grasshopper, it was really ugly...... But it's much more pleasing to the eye than when it was just tightened.
"Brother, let me give you a stage trick......"
"What's the trick? Say it! Liu Zaishi's eyes lit up immediately when he heard this.
"Mistakes are something that happens a lot when you're performing on stage...... If you make a mistake when you are waiting to perform, such as a problem with your positioning, or you forget your movements, you must not show timidity in your expression, and behave more seriously and be more confident. β
Ji Jingyuan glanced at the VJ who was carrying the camera next to him, leaned over and whispered his experience: "The more handsome you behave, the more the audience may feel that the stage is arranged like this." β
βqingjiaοΌ Really? β
Of course, Liu Zaishi knew that Ji Jingyuan was joking, but he still looked like he had received a life-saving straw in front of the camera, and asked with a serious expression: "How is this expression?" β
"It's a little more natural, and if you can, you can also make a wink by the way, so the effect is better, and you can't see that it's a mistake at all......"
Under the camera, Ji Jingyuan and Liu Jae-seok joked and joked, but the atmosphere around them seemed a lot more relaxed.
Seeing this, the other members next to him also came over and began to comfort Liu Zaishi, who was on stage for the first time, wanting to relieve his nervousness.
"The floor of the stage is going to be slippery, even more slippery than the practice room, so be careful."
"The cheers of the fans are very loud, and they often can't be heard, so in order to prevent this problem, I need to count the beats by myself......"
"You can basically only see glow sticks on the stage, and you can't see the faces of the audience, so you don't have to be burdened, take it easy......"
Chi Jingyuan listened to it next to him, his expression was a little strange, he was joking nonsense just now, you guys really passed on your experience.
I feel like it's okay if they don't say it, but saying so much makes the atmosphere even more dull...... Although Liu Zaishi looked like he was listening carefully and learning from experience, his face became obviously serious.
However, there was no time to say more, and soon the concert officially began, and the members of EXO and Yoo Jae-seok took the lead on the stage to start their exclusive performance. The "Infinite Challenge" program team also filmed this segment very well, the cheers were like thunder, the screams came and went, and with the full venue of the black press, the enthusiasm of Thai fans was vividly displayed.
And Liu Zaishi and the "Infinite Challenge" program team are watching in the background, waiting for this upcoming stage that must not make mistakes.
Taking advantage of this time, until finally he practiced alone in the open space of the backstage, alone under the dark nightlight, a little funny dancing that part, the movements were still a little stiff, but it seemed that people couldn't laugh at all.
At this time, the monologue in his interview was also embedded through the background sound:
"Through this month's cooperation and practice, I know that the profession of idols and the stage are really not so simple, it requires full attention, a lot of hard work, and a lot of sweat......"
"I wanted to do this show well with EXO, but I was always worried about what to do if I couldn't do it."
"I want people to see the stage and think, 'Ah, they're really trying.'"
"XO is really good, and I don't want to hold them back."
"Come on!"
No matter how nervous you are, you still have to go on stage after all, and soon it is time for "dancing king", in the screams of fans, under the silver rod of the central control that constantly flashes like a rainbow starlight, Liu Jae-seok and EXO8 people took the elevator and appeared on the stage.
After a month of hard preparation, I finally have to see how the condition is.
"Ahhh......h
Seeing EXO who appeared on the stage with a new outfit, and seeing that there was suddenly a middle-aged man wearing glasses and wearing hip-hop in the team, all the audience in the audience instantly screamed, and the sudden sound even directly covered the background sound that sounded at the same time.
As soon as the music of "Dancing King" sounded, tonight's concert immediately entered the most blood-pumping climax.
βHey hey hey hey~β
βHey hey hey hey~β
"With the fiery rhythm, the heart is pounding."
"At this moment, my heart is on fire."
The smart dance is accompanied by dynamic music, and the song "The King of the Dance" is full of its unique enthusiasm in front of Thai fans.
Staggered movements, rhythmic beats, sweat swaying, awakening instinct.
The signature shoulder shakes, powerful blows and hand shakes, quick and fragmented position changes, neat uniformity, enthusiastic group dances, every movement is so freehand, each stroke can cause a sincere cheer and scream. οΌ
Liu Zaishi, who was nervous and about to hold his breath before going on the stage, also let go at this time, with sweat and trembling limbs, forgetting the nervousness and anxiety that he didn't have, and devoting himself to the stage performance with emotion.
Many people don't even think that if they don't look closely, they really feel that there are nine idols performing on the stage at this time, and everything seems natural.
β¦β¦ It can be said that this is already the highest praise for Liu Zaishi and this stage.
Chi Jingyuan didn't get many parts in this song, but in Kai's absence, he was still the first choice to lead the dancer, and he had much less practice time than others, and he didn't mean to steal the limelight at this time, so he honestly completed his few parts, and simply became his lead dancer.
And although the choreography of this song is not difficult, it is really enjoyable to dance, and the rhythm is also very toxic, with the special atmosphere and excited audience at this time, even he is a little enthusiastic and enthusiastic.
βA-ya-ya~β
"Tonight and me.
βDance all nightβ
βHey hey~β
βHey hey~β
There were no mistakes and mistakes in the whole process, the dynamic dance infected all the audience, and even the staff of "Infinite Challenge" had already cheered together, and with the last fierce dance, the nine people on the stage each posed handsomely, and ended the final stage with the enthusiasm of fire.
Jin Zhicheng saw the last perfect stage performance, looked at the scene of nine people posing handsome ENDING POSE to accept the cheers of the audience under the gorgeous lights, and looked at the picture of them hugging each other after the performance, only to feel a sense of relief, and a sense of pleasure in his heart, all the feelings in this more than an hour of the program were released at this moment.
There's nothing more gratifying than working hard and then getting good results...... This time, Jin Zhicheng watched "The King of Dances Special", and it didn't feel like an ordinary funny variety show, the funny part was really ordinary, and the weight was not much, on the contrary, there were more inspirational links.
After the exciting interaction after the last concert, the whole special ended here, and Kim Zhicheng felt a little unfinished after watching the last clip.
He is still very satisfied with this special, and feels that a general trend of cross-border cooperation that has been hyped for so long has not disappointed, such a weighty cooperation object, the final effect should be so energetic and enough aftertaste.
And this episode of the show has also changed his prejudice against the idol profession a lot, especially for EXO, a boy group whose name he has heard before, is much better.
Jin Zhicheng thought about it, and he usually rarely comments on the Internet, and he is going to make an exception this time, go to the comment area to leave a message, and post a little praise to show his encouragement and affirmation to the program team.
Slightly clumsy on the website, he just wanted to leave a message in the comment area to praise, but his eyes swept away, but the movements in his hands were paused.
I saw that at this time, the entire comment area of "Infinite Challenge" had already been dominated by countless Ellie's speeches, and all kinds of praise, Amway, boasting, and rainbow fart messages abounded, obviously all of them were viewers and fans who had just finished watching "The King of Dances Special". Jin Zhicheng's sincerity in his heart, the degree of his speech, and the praise and affirmation of the most praise, are less than one-tenth of any of them.
Jin Zhicheng looked at these dazzling and colorful rainbow farts, but he was not dissatisfied with the past, just smiled, shook his head, found the most powerful message, and gave it a thumbs up.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Did you watch Infinite Challenge yesterday......"
In the JYP building in Jiangnan District, Lin Nalian walked into Twice's practice room early in the morning, her mouth was not closed, and she remembered something and asked Yu Dingyan behind her.
"I didn't see it, what's wrong...... Did you read it? β
Yu Dingyan's eyes were a little peculiar, she clearly remembered that this sister was an enthusiast of TV series, and she especially liked bloody romance movies...... I usually don't like to watch this kind of variety show.
"Yesterday's issue was a special feature of Yoo Jae-seok's predecessor and EXO's collaboration, and you forgot that it was very popular before?" Lin Nalian explained to her seriously, but she felt that Yu Dingyan's eyes were a little strange, and she complained a little embarrassedly: "Why are you looking at me like this?" β
"No......"
Yu Dingyan, who knew it in his heart, closed his eyes, smiled and hugged Lin Nalian's arm: "Of course I've heard of this cooperation, how can I not know this kind of general cooperation, I just didn't have time to watch it yesterday, I'll go back and make up for it today...... So, is this special good? β
"Make do with it...... Lin Nalian pouted and glanced at her, and puffed out her cheeks with a high posture: "The backstage of the concert in the back is not bad with the final stage...... Everything else I find boring. β
"Did you listen to their song? Does it sound good? β
"I think that's it...... But the results are quite good. β
"How nice?"
"After it was announced yesterday, it was directly airborne and the list was broken, and it is still hanging first......
"The sound source is so good? β¦β¦ It's just the cooperation between Liu Zaishi's predecessors and Jingyuan Oba, and it's normal for them to have good results. β
"It's pretty average...... I don't know why so many people listen to it, but I feel like it's just relying on the popularity of the singer......"
"What are you talking about......"
When the two of them were chatting about yesterday's "Dance King Special", the other members also walked into the practice room one after another, looking at the lively two, Park Zhixiao and several people immediately came up and chatted together.
Minami Nai sat next to her and didn't interject, but she didn't take her attention away, and she still had some unknown pleasure in her heart when she heard the members discuss yesterday's "Infinite Challenge Special...... She still has a photo of Ji Jingyuan after the concert in Bangkok on her phone.
Thinking of this, she glanced at Zhou Ziyu on the side without a trace, and the big one also participated in the discussion with a smile, looking nothing unusual.
Before they could be lively for a while, the agent Jin Shangmin walked in and clapped his hands: "Come to the conference room and have a meeting......
ββ¦β¦ The preparation of the album is the focus of these days, and the date of the MV shooting has been set for the 12th of next month, and the rest of the itinerary has been notified in advance, so I won't repeat it......"
Soon everyone gathered in the small conference room, Kim Sang-min held a notepad in his hand, glanced at the nine girls sitting in a circle around the table, and said quickly: "What I want to talk about today is something else...... The company received two offers to work with individual members. β
"Invitation?"
"Who?"
As soon as he said this, he immediately attracted the attention of all the members, and several people glanced at each other curiously, and then looked at Kim Sang-min.
For Twice, a girl group girl idol who debuted less than a year ago, collaborating with other artists is still a very new thing.
"First of all, it's the first one, but this is not a collaboration with a song, but a shooting MV ......"
As he spoke, Kim Sang-min looked at Momo Hirai, who was sitting on the side: "MOMO." β
"Inside." Momo Hirai looked up and replied crisply, not looking too surprised.
"SJ's Kim Hee-cheol and Min Kyung-hoon's SM 'Subway Project' song 'Sweet Dream' invites you to participate in the filming of the MV and play the heroine, along with all the MC members of 'Brother I Know'......"
Introducing this cooperation invitation, Kim Sang-min looked at Hirai Tao: "The participation of all MC members in "Knowing Brother" is a good gimmick, and the company has already ...... next"
As he was talking, he suddenly frowned when he saw Hirai Momo's expression: "Did you know before?" β
"Forehead ......"
After hesitating for a moment, Hirai Tao secretly glanced at the agent's expression and nodded: "Xiche...... Hecheopa told me before......"
ββ¦β¦β
Jin Shangmin paused when he heard this, then put down the notebook in his hand and looked at Hirai Tao with a stoning look: "It's your own business that you have your own connections, but MOMO I want to remind you that love is absolutely not allowed at this time, and no scandals are allowed to come out, I won't say much about who Kim Hee-cheol is, you have all heard of it yourself." β
"This is just an ordinary collaboration...... You take the distance yourself, get it? β
Although the tone was not intense, the agent's long-term majesty was still very oppressive, and Momo Hirai, who bore the brunt of the matter, seemed to want to explain something, but at this time he could only shrink his neck and nod in a curt.
At the same time, hearing Kim Sang-min say this, Mingjing Nan on the side pursed his lips a little unnaturally.
Zhou Ziyu looked stupid, as if he wasn't talking about himself, like a person who had nothing to do.
"And then there was another invitation, which coincided ......"
After Hirai Tao finished speaking, Kim Sang-min picked up the notepad, and his tone suddenly became relaxed: "This one is also an invitation to SM's subway song, but this time it's a serious song collaboration, and it's our acquaintances who are invited......"
