"The music video looks great and the stage is great. EXO is really going to make a big splash this time."
"Yeah, their albums haven't been released yet, and their music sources haven't been released yet. They're already so popular on the Internet that it makes people jealous."
"But having said that, this song is really nice, and the stage is really cool. I heard that Yuan is the one who wrote the song and choreographed it. He is so talented. He is so good-looking. He is a completely high-quality male."
Ah, I really want to try dating him."
"You? Think about it and forget it... Everyone in the industry knows that he was very popular with female idols before. Many people tried to get his contact information but failed. This time after "Roar" came out
He doesn't know how popular it will be, and he doesn't know who Yuan will associate with..."
"EXO has just debuted for more than a year, and there is still a ban on dating. SM probably won't let them fall in love."
"Hey Yigu, are you new here? Do you still believe this?"
When EXO was recording the stage, the female idols watching from the side were whispering, pointing in the direction of Chi Jingyuan from time to time and whispering, and occasionally interesting smiles appeared on their faces.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, the program officially started. When Chi Jingyuan and Cui Xueli appeared in front of the camera, it caused quite a discussion.
exo has been one of the hottest topics in the music industry since yesterday, and fx's popularity is also very good. The two of them are handsome and beautiful, and their heights are quite close. They seem to be quite compatible.
Of course, only passers-by would say this bluntly. As for the fans on both sides, they picked her up separately without making an appointment.
As time went by, artists came on stage one after another to perform, and this time EXO was third from the bottom.
Their current momentum can be seen from the performance time. In the two previous returns, EXO usually took the stage in the first half of the singing program, but this time the first stage was only in front of two alternates.
The program team really understands that many people are looking forward to the first stage of EXO's "Roar", so they are specially placed at the end to attract the audience to watch and increase the ratings.
When it was exo's turn to perform, their previously recorded stage video was played on the TV, and exo members went on stage to watch it together and interact with fans at the same time.
This time the stage is also a one-shot effect, and the costumes are also very different from those in the MV. The clarity and integrity are definitely not as perfect as in the MV, but the characteristics of the live stage are naturally incomparable to the MV.
Twelve handsome boys in school uniforms danced a neat group dance on the stage to the intoxicating melody of "Roar". Every part and win made people addicted and unable to extricate themselves.
"e."
"x."
"o."
In the close-up, when Chi Jingyuan made gestures and announced the group name, the fans below responded loudly, covering the music with the sound of the three letters 'exo', which echoed throughout the recording studio.
The pre-recorded initial stage was very successful, as can be seen from the deafening cheers from the audience and the surge in discussion online.
"One of the candidates is beast and ailee, so who is the glorious first place today..."
When the awards were finally presented, Chi Jingyuan stood in the middle of the first row, holding a microphone and presiding over the ceremony.
EXO is a warm-up stage this week and will not participate in the selection process, so there is no pressure on him.
He and Cui Xueli looked at each other, smiled, and announced: "Congratulations beast! Chuka Hamida!"
"Please tell me your acceptance speech." Chi Jingyuan handed the microphone in his hand to Long Junheng next to him, who took it with a smile and a salute.
This is the third week that Beast has returned to play songs, and it is also their first number one return. This result is not very good for a first-line boy group like them.
After the speech, it was time for Beast's encore stage. After Chi Jingyuan finished his speech, everyone began to leave.
After Chi Jingyuan and Cui Xueli handed over their scripts and microphones to the staff next to them, they slowly walked backstage with the exiting idols.
The passages leading up and down the stage and backstage were very narrow. With so many people leaving the stage together, it would be crowded for about a minute. Chi Jingyuan followed the crowd and slowly moved forward.
Suddenly, he felt someone gently poke his back with a finger.
The feeling was obvious and itchy, but he had no reaction.
Within two seconds, he was poked again, but he still didn't look back, as if he didn't feel it.
After two seconds passed, he suddenly reached out and grabbed the hand that was about to poke him again.
The skin is delicate and smooth, and it feels good to hold.
Looking back, he guessed correctly, it was Jin Yarong.
After being caught by Chi Jingyuan, Jin Yarong was not embarrassed at all. Instead, he blinked at him with a provocative look in his eyes.
Chi Jingyuan chuckled, scratched the other person's palm with his fingers twice, then patted the back of the other person's hand, took back his right hand and turned around, without saying a word the whole time.
Cui Xueli, who had been standing by the side, took in everything, covered her mouth and snickered, and glanced at Chi Jingyuan playfully.
"You look very skilled, player?"
After walking backstage and the crowd gradually dispersed, Cui Shirley came to the side and said softly in a greasy voice.
"Arnie, you're not a player, you're just a novice. You can't compare to the seniors."
"Ah, what are you talking about? I'm not as skilled as you...and I told you, don't call me senior."
"I will definitely do it next time."
"You are really annoying."
