After announcing the group name, it returned to the normal "Roar" stage session.
When EXO performs, the director is very interesting. He often switches the camera to the artist's seat, hoping to let the audience see the reaction of the idols, especially the two sisters of Girls' Generation and Apink who are in the same company.
The two sisters from SNSD behaved relatively calmly, mainly thinking that their juniors would support them, and would actively wave to them every time the camera passed by.
Apink is not as bland as its predecessors. When the camera turned several times, there was no reaction, and the expression management was not in place. Looking at the big screen and stage, I was a little stunned.
"I eu-reu-reong eu-reu-reong eu-reu-reong you"
"I eu-reu-reong eu-reu-reong eu-reu-reong you"
"If we don't leave, there will be a crisis."
Under the chorus of the fans, all the members took the ending pose, and the other members quickly left the stage. The lights dimmed, leaving only the dim auxiliary lights shining in the center of the stage. Chi Jingyuan and Luhan started a two-person dance along with the accompaniment.
It was originally set up that there was a fight between Chi Jingyuan and Luhan, but in the plot version of the MV, it was Kai and Luhan who had a conflict over the heroine. At this time, Kai was replaced by Chi Jingyuan, and the fight between the two ended.
Some of it was not suitable, so after some discussion on the stage planning, it was changed to a dance of two people.
Chi Jingyuan's dancing level has really improved in more than a year. When he first joined the group, his dancing ability was in the middle and lower reaches of EXO. It can only be said that it is not a hindrance. But now he is with one of the lead dancers.
When the Luhans stood together and danced, they were not inferior.
In particular, his style and expressiveness are very good, and he has his own unique characteristics.
After a brief dance between the two, the two stood on both sides of the stage and bowed their heads slightly. The prelude of "Wolf" then sounded, and the silhouette of the Tree of Life appeared on the screen behind, causing a burst of cheers.
Although this song is far less popular than the roar, this classic look has now become a symbol of EXO, and it makes fans very happy every time it is shown.
The lights gradually dimmed and the stage became pitch black. During the prelude, the other ten members arranged their poses and stood on the main stage's lifting platform. It slowly rose up and appeared in front of all the audience along with the light red misty lights.
The stage of "wolf" officially begins.
Chi Jingyuan and Luhan took advantage of the lights dimming and the audience focused most of their attention on the tree of life displayed by the members. They crouched quietly and quickly ran past the side of the stage. Chi Jingyuan
As soon as Yuan ran up, it was his turn, and he jumped directly to the center of the stage to seamlessly connect.
There was no new collective choreography on the stage of "Wolf", but a special performance was added in the middle.
The twelve members were divided into three groups, with four people in each team arranged in a small tree shape, standing in a triangle. Under the stage, a projection of blood was cast at the same time. The surging blood flowed through the pulse, just like several trees exchanging with each other.
With blood.
In addition to echoing the shape and concept of the tree of life in "Wolf", this performance also has a vague feeling of 'we are one', which is exo's slogan 'we are one'.
What’s interesting is that every time EXO sings the wolf howling part ‘awuuu’, the camera will focus on the artist booth, and many idols like Jung Eunji will imitate the wolf howl and sing along.
"Yes wolf I am a wolf aawuuuu."
"Sanglang hey."
"I am a wolf and you are a beauty."
With the familiar howl of a wolf, the music of "Wolf" gradually came to an end. After the ending action, amid deafening cheers and screams, EXO's entire performance came to an end.
The excitement of the audience could not calm down for a long time. Even after EXO came off the stage, they kept shouting. The atmosphere in the entire expo was completely agitated. It was obvious that the performance just made them very fond of and emotional, reaching a high point.
After exo came off the stage, the second award for 'Artist of the Year' was presented. The award presenters were Hong Kong's Guo Tianwang and Han Caiying, but they didn't stand in harmony together.
The suspense was soon revealed, the final artist of the year was given to solo gd.
After hearing his name, gd stood up and saluted and thanked the artists and the audience. Then he walked briskly to the podium with his unique yellow sashimi hairstyle, received the trophy, and spoke his speech.
He broke away from the Big Bang group, and his solo can still win major awards. GD's popularity and style are indeed unique.
After receiving the award, it was time for a break and commercial breaks. After waiting for about ten minutes, EXO returned to the artist booth at the beginning of the second part of the awards ceremony.
This arrangement seemed to foreshadow their final starring role in the awards show.
They didn't change their clothes after coming off the stage. At this time, the members were no longer as calm and carefree as before, and everyone became a lot more nervous.
From the beginning of the awards ceremony until now, they have been spectators.
Although the stage performance that had been prepared for a long time was perfect, the response from the audience was extremely enthusiastic, and the manager said that after their performance, there was a discussion on the Peninsula Internet, and countless people were interested in their performance this time.
The stage feels very amazing and satisfying.
But their main purpose in participating in mama is to win the final grand prize, and now only the last of the three grand prizes is left.
Although the organizer had hinted in advance, otherwise they would not have made so many preparations, but the reputation of the organizer of mama has always been average, so it is not surprising that something happened. Who knows whether there will be something in the end?
What about giving them a big upset and grabbing all the eyeballs and headlines?
When things came to a close, every member, including Chi Jingyuan, became a lot more nervous and anxious.
It can be said that Ji Kyung-won is not in the mood to watch the entire lower stage performance, whether it is hip-hop senior Jae-ho's rap, or the stage of Rain who is already famous and dating Kim Tae-hee, or everyone who is doing Big Bang's solo this year, Top, Taeyang and Seungri
, gd's personal stage, and even the joint performance made Chi Jingyuan uninterested.
Only when the camera is turned towards him, and when BigBang runs to the artist booth to interact during a performance, will he react with a smile and applause showing interest in the business. After the camera turns away, he returns to his original expression.
The performance that best reflected their mood was Chi Jingyuan, Wu Shixun and other fishing experts. At this time, they no longer wanted to be lazy. They kept looking at the stage, seeming to be thinking about many things.
Finally, with the anxious waiting of all EXO members and fans, the entire Mama Awards Ceremony has reached the final stage, with the awarding of the third grand award "Album of the Year".
The award presenter was Peninsula actor Gao Xiu. Wearing a well-fitting black suit and tie, he walked to the microphone in the middle of the stage and began his chattering performance.
First, he thanked the audience and praised the scenery and people of Hong Kong Island. Then he recalled the preparation process today, how to choose clothes and how to style. At the same time, he praised the participating artists for their hard work in preparing the stage and rehearsing, and then looked forward to the future.
Mama gets better every time.
I don’t know whether it was because the broadcast was not long enough, so the organizer specifically reminded him to delay, or Gao Xiu himself is an extremely verbose person. He stood on it and talked endlessly, which made Chi Jingyuan and the members
Getting more and more impatient.
Gao Xiu talked for a long time, and when the audience booed faintly, he finally entered the awards ceremony, and under his guidance, the candidates' VCRs began to be played.
The competition for 'Album of the Year' in 2013 is really fierce. The first one to appear in VCR is EXO, followed by GD, Girls' Generation, Shinee, and Jo Yong Pil.
After the VCR broadcast, the audience thought he was going to announce the winner. Everyone started shouting loudly, and many people read the names of the idols they supported, among which EXO's voice was the loudest.
It's just that Gao Xiu was really interesting. He spoke very slowly, and even though his sentences were cadenced, he kept whetting his appetite and wasted time by talking nonsense, but he didn't look at the envelope with the name of the award recipient written on it.
However, his behavior really enhanced the atmosphere of the entire venue, and the emotions of all the audience were aroused by him. The cries of eardrum pain resounded throughout the venue one after another, and did not die down for a second.
Including Zhou Ziyu, Kong Xue, many idols, and all the fans who were watching the live broadcast felt like they were being hung up, and their hearts were filled with eagerness.
The same goes for EXO. They were already very nervous. Being treated like this by Gao Xiu made everyone's hearts aroused. At this moment when the results were finally announced, no one could remain calm.
Tao lowered his head, clasped his hands together on his chin and prayed silently. Jin Junmian's iconic business smile also became very stiff. Luhan's forehead was already sweating, and he kept sweating along both sides of his cheeks.
Flow down.
At this time, the camera suddenly focused on Chi Jingyuan from below, and a close-up of him appeared on the big screen at the right time.
I saw Chi Jingyuan sitting sideways on a stool, his arms resting on the armrests of the chair, his right hand clenched into a fist, covering his mouth and chin. His soft-lined eyes were bright and serious at this time.
She was facing the direction of the stage, with sweat faintly seeping from her silver-gray bangs.
Because the camera was shot from bottom to top, Chi Jingyuan’s profile and mandibular angle are perfectly displayed at the same time.
In this shot, anyone can see that his mood at this time is tense and urgent, mixed with uneasiness and anxiety.
Fans screamed at the right time, but Chi Jingyuan's movements and demeanor did not change. He remained the same and quietly waited for the result to be announced.
Finally, either because he felt that he was taking too long, or because the director told him through the headset that the delay had been long enough, Gao Xiu opened the envelope.
“2013, Mama Annual Awards Ceremony, Album of the Year Award’…”
"..."
He opened the envelope and pursed his lips when he saw the name on it. His smile was a little twisted. After a pause, he shouted out a name:
"exo!"
Deafening cheers suddenly broke out, and all the audience erupted at unimaginable decibels at the same time.
The camera immediately focused on EXO's position as the artist. All the members looked relieved, stood up, clapped excitedly, saluted, and celebrated.
And a camera was once again focused on Chi Jingyuan's position.
"call……"
In the picture, he exhaled softly after hearing EXO's name, stretched out his clenched right hand and wiped it on his chin, and smiled.
As if he was aware that a camera was filming him, Chi Jingyuan stood up and turned sideways to look at the camera.
I saw him smiling and raising his right hand, extending his index finger and thumb to make a pistol shape, pursed his lips and raised the corners of his mouth, and fired lightly at the camera from a very close distance:
