"The concept of the song "Roar" is the roar of a boy who doesn't want the girl he loves to be taken away. When it comes to roaring, it will be associated with animals, so I watched some videos about animals and discovered the movements of the gorilla.
It’s very unique. I imitated the movements of orangutans and made this choreography. I think these movements are very interesting.”
"The overall choreography must not be too difficult. It is not conducive to communication and it is easy to have inconsistent beats when dancing together, which greatly affects the overall stage effect. You can use more simple but very magical movements, like this
…”
On the screen of the mobile phone, Chi Jingyuan, wearing plain short-sleeved shorts and sneakers, was discussing the choreography of "Roar" with several choreographers. After talking for a while, he demonstrated a left hand across his chest.
, the right hand struck hard, and the head clicked forward according to the beat.
Now this action has become one of the most memorable classic choreography in the "Roar" dance.
Bae Joo-hyun, who was watching a video on her mobile phone, had her eyes bent into a crescent moon and a soft smile.
What she was watching at the moment was a collection of behind-the-scenes footage of the production of EXO's reissued album "Roar" and the practice room version of the MV.
This collection has been officially uploaded to SM official website, YouTube and other websites by SM Company on September 5th. As soon as it was uploaded, it aroused great enthusiasm from fans and passers-by.
Fans who have always wanted to know about some of EXO’s private situations seemed to have found a treasure book, and they flocked to watch it repeatedly. The number of clicks increased sharply in just a few days, and the content in it caused widespread concern.
discuss.
In fact, Bae Zhuhyun had watched it once when it was first released on the 5th, but she liked some of the shots in the behind-the-scenes very much, so she often took a look at it when she was bored in the next few days.
At this time, she was sitting by the wall of the practice room, with her legs together in front of her, her phone on her lap, and she started reading again happily.
It was lunch time now. Instead of eating by herself, she asked her friend to bring some, so she would have more free time.
From the time EXO made "Roar", including practice, VJs were always following everything they did, and the entire collection was very long after post-editing.
The behind-the-scenes footage released by SM includes production meetings, recording footage, choreography processes, and even behind-the-scenes plots during dance practice and MV shooting, etc., allowing countless fans to get hooked while understanding the behind-the-scenes of their idols.
"Thank you for your hard work, go to bed early..."
At this time, Chi Jingyuan and the dance teachers on the mobile phone finished their work and bowed to each other to say goodbye.
He came out of the company's building carrying a shoulder bag. It was already late at night, and there was no one around. The bright crescent moon hung high in the sky and cast a pale light. The left side of the screen showed that the current time was 3 in the morning.
Half.
In the shot, Chi Jingyuan's back gradually fades away on the road, and the only things accompanying him are the dim yellow streetlights on both sides of the road and the clear but somewhat lonely sound of footsteps.
The screen on the phone went dark and entered the next page, a clip of Chi Jingyuan and the teachers teaching the members how to dance to "Roar".
"This movement must be done with strength, not softly, otherwise it won't look like that. Our choreography this time is not difficult, the feeling is very important."
It’s this right-hand tapping choreography again. Chi Jingyuan demonstrated one side, and the members followed suit.
After that, the members worked together from dawn to dusk to practice the dance of "Roar" crazily, seizing time after the activities of "Wolf", but many things went wrong during the practice.
In this section, the members made many low-level mistakes during practice. The atmosphere in the whole room was very bad, and the manager was criticizing them.
"Jingyuan, you did the choreography of the entire song, and you taught others the moves, but as a result, you always forget your own parts. Does this make sense?"
In the camera, Li Chenghuan frowned and spoke to Chi Jingyuan, with a hint of helplessness in his serious tone.
"Miah that da."
Chi Jingyuan pursed his lips and apologized. His expression looked a little bad, and the word "tired" was clearly written on his eyebrows.
Seeing this continuous scene of hurried responses and hard work, Bae Zhuhyun couldn't help but pursed her lips along with it.
He is not always as glamorous and dazzling as on TV or in rumors. He also works hard, feels tired, and sometimes feels lost and sad.
Pei Zhuxuan stared at the ugly-faced boy on the phone with bright eyes. A feeling of empathy appeared in her heart, and she felt that the boy who was far away before suddenly seemed to be much closer.
"The so-called one take is a one-shot shooting technique. The most important thing is to create the feeling that the members themselves are controlling the camera and are immersed in the scene, so as to show the charm of each member to the greatest extent, as well as our
Dance moves…”
"A lot of our choreography is not single, but interactive with the camera, and it needs to be done naturally...
"I have discussed the lens design with pdnim before. The lens will start from the left, move slowly, and stop here, and then..."
"Sehun, your behavior here is not quite right. Don't be too deliberate when interacting with the camera. Make your gestures a little stronger..."
The behind-the-scenes collection has entered the second half. When it was time to shoot the "Roar" MV, Chi Jingyuan was standing in the middle of the shooting location. He was dressed in the MV at this time, while explaining the elements and precautions of shooting to the members.
place, while making gestures to make it easier for them to understand.
The other eleven members formed a half circle, surrounding Chi Jingyuan in the center, listening intently.
Although they are all wearing light gray school uniforms, they create a feeling of stars overlapping the moon, and that moon is Chi Jingyuan who is explaining at this time.
He is dressed as in the MV. At this time, his eyes are bright, his voice is clear, and his expression is serious and formal.
Including Bae Joo Hyun, many fans and even idols who saw this scene looked at the person in the center of the screen with bright eyes. They felt that Ji Kyung Won was so handsome at this time that they couldn't take their eyes away.
This behind-the-scenes clip is the one that has been watched the most. After the popularity of EXO's "Roar", the one-shot MV shooting technique has attracted the attention of many companies in the industry. As soon as the behind-the-scenes clip came out, many people clicked in to take a look.
The "Roar" MV can be shot so well, what are the things that were done well?
Then, the behind-the-scenes collection entered the final stage, the shooting process of the "Roar" practice room version of the MV, and the MV.
Seeing this, basically all the viewers have understood that the most impressive member with personal charm in this episode is Chi Jingyuan. He is almost everywhere in the entire episode, and all of them are through the front or through
Describe and enhance his image from the side.
After all, the song "Roar" has a great relationship with him. Anyone who has watched the behind-the-scenes will admit that without Chi Jingyuan, there would be no such explosive "Roar", and exo would definitely not be so popular at this time.
The previous paragraphs were all about describing Chi Jingyuan's handsomeness and charm, but at this point, the style of painting is a bit wrong.
In the camera, the twelve members of EXO have gathered in the practice room and are ready to start recording the practice room version of the MV.
Basically none of them wore makeup, and each wore their own private clothes. Many of them even wore hats to hide their makeup-free faces.
This is also the charm of the practice room version of the MV. There is no makeup or stage clothes, and it does not go through too much exaggeration, showing the most realistic dance very naturally.
As the members took their seats and were about to start filming, the manager suddenly spoke, attracting everyone's attention:
"Wait a minute, Jingyuan, these clothes of yours..."
"Brother, what's wrong?"
In the camera, Chi Jingyuan glanced doubtfully in the direction of his manager, then looked at his clothes, and asked strangely: "Aren't my clothes good-looking?"
"Arnie, uh... you look pretty good, but I feel that the style of your clothes is not very in line with the style of "Roar"..."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
"I think so too, but he still doesn't listen when I say it."
"Jingyuan likes this style. He also thinks it's very handsome. It's really speechless..."
As soon as the manager spoke, the members also looked at Chi Jingyuan. After hearing these words, they all burst into laughter. Several members pointed at him and complained with exaggerated expressions.
The camera gave a close-up of Chi Jingyuan. At this time, he was otherwise dressed normally, with sports shorts and sneakers, but the sight of his top made all the viewers unable to hold back their laughter.
I saw that he was wearing a black short-sleeved shirt at this time. The style was ordinary and there was nothing strange about it. But on the front, there was a picture of a tilted head, with two short hands holding the head, looking stupidly at the duck in front of him.
This duck is so big that it almost takes up two-thirds of the front area of the T-shirt. It looks very conspicuous, especially under the gaze of the camera. This duck seems to be looking at everyone in front of the screen.
He looked at each other blankly, making everyone laugh and feel a sense of intellectual superiority.
Hearing the comments from the members, Chi Jingyuan curled his lips in disdain with an expression of 'you don't understand'.
"How about, Jingyuan, go change your clothes?"
The agent asked tentatively.
This duck is funny enough, but it really doesn't match the style of "Roar". Wearing this costume will make the audience laugh.
"Brother, where can I find clothes to wear now?"
Chi Jingyuan is a little helpless. He always feels that his aesthetics and preferences are sometimes not in the same dimension as the members.
He thought for a while and sighed: "Then I'll put it on inside out."
"Okay, that's it, as long as the duck doesn't show up."
The manager nodded immediately, and then, amid the wild smiles of the members, Chi Jingyuan went to a place where the camera could not see, put his clothes back on, and then stood back to his position.
After that, the filming started, but for some reason, all the audience's attention was no longer on the MV. Most of the people's eyes were fixed on Chi Jingyuan, looking at the short-sleeved shirt that he wore backwards, which was faintly exposed from the front.
Light yellow in color, smiling from ear to ear.
Pei Zhuhyun couldn't help but smile happily when she saw this scene again. She covered her mouth with her left hand, revealing a white sheen of teeth between her fingers, while her right hand carelessly touched her head, seeming to think of her recent favorite.
That baseball cap.
For some reason, when she saw Chi Jingyuan wearing Kodak clothes on the screen, her mood suddenly improved a lot and she suddenly felt energetic.
"Unnie, I brought back what you asked for...what are you looking at?"
Jiang Seulqi didn't know when she entered the practice room and walked to Bae Zhuhyun. She suddenly made a sound that startled Bae Zhuhyun, and her whole body trembled with a sound of 'ah'.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Seulqi laughed evilly, "hehe", she did it on purpose.
After finishing laughing, Jiang Seulqi leaned over and took a look at her phone, and nodded clearly: "Unnie is watching the behind-the-scenes of Jingyuan and the others again. I've watched it several times. The shots are really good and very interesting.
, now it’s getting good reviews online, and xo’s fans are very excited.”
While nodding in agreement, she sat next to her and handed the things she brought back to Bae Zhuhyun. Jiang Seulqi smacked her lips and continued:
"After reading these private inside stories, I realized that Jingyuan and the seniors of EXO have really worked hard. They have worked very hard for this comeback. Now that they are so popular, it is a blessing in disguise... And Jingyuan is too awesome,"
The song "Roar" was almost entirely written by him, I really don't know how to describe it."
"That's right, Ernie."
"mo?"
Jiang Seulqi suddenly shouted, and Bae Zhuhyun, who had been listening silently, responded quickly.
"Jingyuan's duck costume in the featurette has already aroused heated discussion. I remember you seem to have a hat with the same pattern, right? It's called... Kodak Duck?"
"Yes, yes, I... also like "Pokémon"."
"Hey Yigu, your hobbies are really interesting. I will introduce you to each other next time. I think you will be able to chat."
Hearing this, Bae Zhuhyun looked at Jiang Seulqi, blinked her eyes and smiled sweetly:
"OK."
