"Everyone already knew the process and practiced it when we stepped onto the stage yesterday. The vcr was played first. During the playing of the vcr, everyone went up to the rockery and lay on the table. When Luhan led people on stage and the music started, it officially started. Follow the instructions
The well-rehearsed routine begins to perform."
Before exo started the formal rehearsal, they first got familiar with the set, and the stage effects instructor who followed the company introduced it to them.
This time, in addition to a special dance dance session, mama also has a specially designed opening. Before EXO comes on stage, they will arrange two rockery-like scenery on the stage, with 6 desks placed on each of them.
This appearance design also refers to the concept of the wolf boy in "Wolf" and the overall campus style of the regular album. It is a fusion of the two.
The process of the performance is that Luhan escaped with the MV heroine under the camera, and escaped all the way to the stage. Then the members who were sleeping on the rockery desk were awakened. The 11 people except Luhan would wake up after they woke up.
They stood on the table and danced together, then jumped off the table and walked to the stage, where 12 people gathered together and the performance officially began.
Overall, it conforms to SM's overall chubby style for EXO.
"Everyone should be familiar with it, so I won't say more. I'll walk through it first."
Following the prompts from the staff, EXO began its first formal rehearsal.
Because tonight's stage is very important and it is a live broadcast, so EXO's rehearsal was as formal as a live broadcast stage. There was no casual dancing like usual during rehearsals for recording singing shows. Every member worked hard.
At this time, when they were rehearsing, there were already many people standing around the stage. In addition to most of the staff, there were also several groups of artists surrounding them. For example, Apink, who had just finished rehearsing not long ago, did not directly
He went back and stood there looking at EXO rehearsing on the stage with great interest.
Chi Jingyuan, who had already started rehearsing, glanced around with his peripheral vision and saw many familiar faces, such as Apink, Crayon Group, and some people from 2ne1.
Oh, by the way, Jaeho's group is also here. They have met at two award ceremonies in a row. It seems that their hiphop group is quite popular.
It's just that Chi Jingyuan has never heard their songs and has no desire to understand them.
There was nothing to say in the previous appearance, and some of the idols who were watching even laughed lightly. The first song "Roar" has always been a normal process, and everyone has seen it countless times, so there is nothing strange about it.
Until the end of the second chorus of "Roar", the accompaniment drum beat changed and entered this carefully prepared dance dance session. Although there are no cameras filming on the stage, Chi Jingyuan still imitates the formal performance with cameras
At that time, I controlled the camera as if guiding, and then started to dance this new special choreography to the accompaniment.
"Wow……"
As the two teams danced wildly on the stage, the onlookers nearby couldn't help but exclaimed. It was obvious that even if it was just a rehearsal, EXO's stage this time was enough to amaze them.
For example, the two maknae Apink, who are half fans of EXO, their eyes were a bit straight, staring at the stage without blinking.
After more than ten minutes of rehearsal, the EXO members came down panting.
Just like the previous practice, there were no problems throughout the whole process, which made me feel relieved.
"Aniha sai yo, anihas sai yo."
When I walked off the stage, I met some of the idol seniors who were watching. Except for the Crayon Group, EXO was the youngest. They lined up and gave slight greetings, and walked towards the side of the stage.
The artists all smiled and returned the favor. Except for Jaeho, who had a weird expression and smiled softly, and nodded his head twice, several members including Sistar and 2ne1, who were not familiar with him, were quite enthusiastic.
"You are so handsome on stage this time, and the dance battle is great. How long have you been preparing for it?"
When passing by apink, Zheng Eunji asked in surprise.
"It didn't take long, less than a month..."
When Chi Jingyuan saw Li Chenghuan waving to them at the stage entrance, he didn't stop. After saying a simple word, he waved to them and quickly followed the members backstage.
Li Chenghuan looked at the approaching EXO and clapped with satisfaction:
"The effect is very good and there are no mistakes. It seems that everyone is well prepared. We will continue after a while. The staff will come back to inform us to rest for a while..."
………………
While EXO was rehearsing hard for Mama's stage, at the same time in Neon, at a school called Urizip in Nishinomiya City, Hyogo Prefecture, Minami Nai was in front of the mirror in a practice room, watching her classmates behind her
Next, I practiced the dance I just learned some time ago with my teacher.
Urizip is a professional kpop school. Most of the teachers are from Peninsula. Many of them were originally dance teachers from Peninsula Entertainment Artist Company.
It is said that the teacher who teaches Nai Minami and the others has worked in SM before, and seems to have been a dance teacher for Girls' Generation.
This school is quite famous nearby, and it has channels to send trainees to Peninsula. Sometimes when Peninsula artists come to perform neon performances, some of their students can also go to the scene to participate in some backup dancer work to gain experience and at the same time meet
artist.
And because she likes kpop, Mingnan has been practicing in this school for a long time.
The melodious and rhythmic accompaniment resounded throughout the practice room. Anyone who has recently learned about the kpop trend can instantly tell that they are dancing to "Roar" at this time.
Because the heating in the room is fully turned on, the students and teachers are not wearing too thick clothes. Nai Minami wears blue short-sleeved shirts and black trousers. The short-sleeved shirt has a cartoon face printed on the chest, which is unclear whether it is a duck or a penguin.
, looks quite funny.
Najing Nan danced with a very serious expression, her long black hair swaying with the fierce dance, and from time to time it floated in front of her, covering her face.
But overall, her movements look very rigid, not as natural and casual as those of kpop dance masters. They are just imitating movements and lack some spirituality.
When the song ended, Mingnan panted slightly and waited for the teacher's evaluation.
The students sitting behind him also focused their attention.
She has been learning the dance of this song for a long time. She likes this song and dance very much. She has also watched the MV of "Roar" many times, but she can't find the feeling when dancing.
"Mina, the overall feeling is still a little stiff. This dance is not difficult. Sometimes you don't care about the accuracy of the movements. You should look natural and casual. The main thing is to show your charm and handsomeness."
After the teacher pondered for a few seconds, he expressed some of his opinions to Mingnan.
His accent was obviously not local, with the strange feeling unique to some peninsula people speaking foreign languages, and it sounded a bit awkward.
The teacher then added: "Look at the MV of this song, EXO's dance in unison is indeed very neat. In fact, there are some places where the dance movements of several members are not exactly the same, but they give people a very different feeling when they dance."
Okay, I feel like I can do it with ease."
"I have seen the behind-the-scenes footage of "Roar", and you should have seen it too... Yes, Yuan, who was in charge of choreography, also said in the footage that when he was choreographing, he specifically did not choreograph some difficult moves to steal the show.
, but designed several movements that can express personal charm and are very magical. The focus of this kind of part is to dance with feeling, rather than just imitating the postures..."
Speaking of this, the teacher recalled his surprise when he saw the tidbits and couldn't help but sigh:
"The choreography of "Roar" is really amazing. This part takes a lot of credit for this song to be so successful. I really don't know how Yuan came up with it..."
"Okay, let's rest for a while and drink some water. We will continue later."
After listening to the teacher's instructions, Mingjing Nan nodded, sat back next to his classmates, took a bottle of water and sipped it while thinking carefully about what the teacher just said, hoping to draw some nutrients from it to improve himself.
She is very interested in kpop, and her goal is to become an artist. Although she looks a little weak on the outside, she is quite strong on the inside and has been working hard for this goal.
"Saisai, didn't you work in SM before? You must know EXO. Can you tell us what it was like when they were trainees?"
During the break, a lively student suddenly asked the teacher a question. This topic immediately received a strong response from the surrounding students, who all agreed and hoped that the teacher would talk about it.
They are all neon students who are interested in kpop, otherwise they would not come here to study. Naturally, they are very interested in exo, the most popular in the peninsula today. Several of them are simply fans of exo and even wear them.
The same style of clothes.
"Yes Saisai, tell us about EXO, we all want to hear it."
A girl who was very close to Mingjing Nan shouted cheerfully:
"Tell me about Yuan, Mina is also very interested."
