SM's official website is simply a paradise for EXO fans. Analysis of various hints and metaphors kept flooding the screen. Even Kim Ji-hee, who originally thought she had lost her fandom, was a little excited. She wished that the time would jump directly to March 1st.
zero point.
The previous hatred and disgust for Byun Baekhyun's betrayal had diminished a lot at some point, and the enthusiasm for XO that I once had inexplicably emerged from the depths of my heart, welling up in my heart and not being able to go away.
Especially after watching Chi Jingyuan's personal trailer and the final maze scene, my mind suddenly became warm again, but the object of my admiration was a different one.
There was still more than an hour until the release of the sound source and MV of EXO's first single "E" at 0:00 on March 1st. Kim Ji-hee took advantage of the free time to leave the official website and went to other forums to see what other places thought about this film.
While commenting on the excellent trailer, I unexpectedly found that other places on the Internet were full of attacks and belittling. Fans of Heizi and his opponent were very active at this time:
"EXO's trailer this time is really pretentious. After watching it for a long time, I still can't figure out what the solar eclipse superpower is talking about?"
"Indeed, can't we just release a trailer for the title song? It has to be all these bells and whistles."
"The photos are so rubbish. Every one of the people in EXO is uglier than the last, and they all have angular faces. It's disgusting to see them."
"Hmm... I also hate the Di Tuan group, but you can't make a fool of yourself. When it comes to looks, let's not talk about Yuan, who is recognized as the uncontroversial representative of the boy group's appearance. The average appearance of the Di Tuan group should be now
The boy band is No. 1, so even if you are black, you still have to be black to the point. Things like hunchback, plastic surgery, short stature, triangular eyes, falling in love, etc. Don’t make random remarks and let people look down upon us as black fans.”
"Di Tuan's appearance is indeed not bad. As a man, I find Chi Jingyuan's face and temperament very comfortable. No wonder she has so many female fans and is so crazy (by the way, why is he not an official face?), but other problems are too much.
There are so many... I looked at the artists who have recently returned and found that there are no big trends. I feel that even if the earth groups are declining significantly now, there are not many groups that can be their opponents. I guess the only ones are Shinhwa and VIXX.
The two groups came back this week, which is a head-on collision with the Earth Group. 4minute’s return this time also has good momentum, and I feel like they can compete with the Earth Group.”
"4minute is an impossible girl group to beat. Considering the fan base of local groups, we still have to put our hope in Shinhwa and VIXX. Brothers, remember to vote for Shinhwa and VIXX when local groups are competing for songs. I really
I want to see what their expressions will be like when they lose the top spot in the second week of their return, it must be exciting."
"Vote +1, I'm so looking forward to it. Just think about the expressions of those idiot fans who couldn't believe it when they saw that their idol couldn't get the first place in the first week, but they had to face the fact that their idol has declined. Wow, I feel excited just thinking about it.
!”
"Not only do I want to vote, I also want to buy Shinhwa and VIXX's albums!"
Jin Zhixi saw that the forum she clicked on was full of sarcasm and insults about EXO. She felt a little sad for a moment, and at the same time, a wave of irritation rushed into her mind. She couldn't help but type on the keyboard to defend XO: "Actually, EXO
Their popularity has not declined too much, and their sales are still at a disadvantage in the music industry. Moreover, this personal trailer is very high-quality, and some of the hints and metaphors in it are really great."
Not long after it was posted, the active anti-fans became excited when they saw this statement that was obviously biased towards fans, and gathered around like sharks asking about the smell of blood:
"If you don't understand, you just don't understand. Who else is interested in his hints and metaphors except you fans? What's the use of just doing these stunts? If the songs don't sound good and the stage doesn't look good, it's all in vain."
"Still not declining? Go and see for yourself how much the pre-sales of EXO's first single album "E" are now. I checked this morning and it was more than 400,000, right? The number of pre-sales has exceeded ten geniuses. The group's sales last year
The last time "Addicted" officially returned to mini-2, the pre-sales were more than 700,000. I remember it clearly when it broke the record. Now it has taken so long to sell 400,000 this time. The sales have dropped by nearly half, and the lack of fans is so serious.
Slipping? So what does it mean to be sliding? Can earth fans open their eyes and grow some brains?"
"It's so funny. The sales volume that Di Tuan is most proud of has been cut in half this time. It will be even more exciting if we wait for the sound source and MV to come out and find out that it is a shit song."
"Due to the problem of configuration and too few songs, singles usually do not sell as well as regular albums. This time the pre-sales have been very good."
Jin Jixi was really angry when she saw these comments and retorted. Her blood was rising and her whole body was a little annoyed. Unknowingly, she naturally stood on the side of EXO fans, but when faced with the attack from the anti-fans,
After laying out the data, I also feel that my defense seems a bit weak.
Looking at the replies that were quickly posted below, "This is Aili, even if it's already like this, I still need to wash it. Forget it, let's wait until the MV comes out and then look at the data." These replies made my eyes become a little red, and I stared at the screen in disgust.
I watched with hatred for a while, used the mouse to cross out this forum where black fans were rampant, clicked on SM's official website, lay on the keyboard waiting for the MV to be released, punched the table hard, and said to myself angrily:
"Just watch and wait."
…………
"What time is it? Has it been announced?"
In red velvet's dormitory, Jiang Seulqi sat on Son Seungwan's bed with her clothes on, and pulled the quilt over slightly to cover it.
"No, there are still ten minutes." Sun Shengwan curled his feet back a little, gave up the quilt to Bae Zhuhyun, who had been sitting on the bed next to him, and Kang Seulgi, who had just arrived, and leaned over to take a look at Bae Zhuhyun, who occupied the C position in the center of the bed.
He glanced at the mobile phone in front of her, looked at the time, and answered in a clear voice.
They got off work a little early today, and after coming back, they gathered in this room after washing up, preparing to watch the MV for EXO's comeback title song, which will be released soon.
They are so interested not only because Chi Jingyuan is a good relative, but also because they are more concerned about this first comeback, which is very meaningful for EXO. Some of them also want to see how they are doing with such a grand plan and how the company has invested so many resources.
Will it have a big impact on their return of Ledbebe in half a month?
Of course, it's mainly curiosity and concern.
"Jingyuan sent gifts for my birthday a few days ago and no one came. I want to see how the MV went after they have been busy for so long." Thinking of the scene where her invitation to a birthday party a few days ago was declined, Jiang Seulgi felt
He wrinkled his nose a little dissatisfied.
Bae Zhuhyun sat happily on Sun Shengwan's bed, covering her with her quilt. At the same time, Sun Shengwan's face was still rubbing against her shoulders, enjoying the body massage. It was very comfortable for a moment.
I looked at the SM official account on the website on my phone screen, waiting to be refreshed, and I was a little lost in thought as I stared at the slowly beating time.
She actually didn't have that many thoughts, she just simply wanted to watch Chi Jingyuan's MV.
Especially after receiving the self-portrait of the smoky-haired man with a face that she often posts now, and having a video call with Chi Jingyuan during the Spring Festival, she was very interested in his appearance in the MV for the new title song.
I am curious and looking forward to it.
Originally, she planned to watch it alone in bed, but Sun Shengwan suggested that it would be more interesting to discuss it together while looking at a mobile phone, so she went with the flow and went to her bed.
Next to her, Jiang Seulgi also squeezed to the left side. The three of them felt warm and comfortable next to each other, but their hair seemed to have not been dried yet, and it was a little bit wet when it was pulled over.
"It's started, it's started."
Just when Bae Zhuhyun was in a daze, Park Soo-young, who was sitting on the bed opposite, and Jin Ye-rin, who had moved into the dormitory, shouted happily. She quickly came back to her senses, refreshed the web page, and looked at the screen with the two people who were close to her instantly.
, reached out and clicked on the song title that just refreshed:
"call me baby"
…
On the other side of JYP's trainee dormitory, Minami huddled under the covers, refreshing the page with her shiny mobile phone, waiting for the MV update.
It is indeed a little late to update the time at 0:00 in the evening. Even if she is very tired from practicing today, she has to get up early tomorrow, but for her, everything is a small matter.
Najing Nan was extremely busy during this period. Because she was selected into the company's latest survival talent show, she began to do special exercises. She had to practice and prepare a lot of things every day. It was very tiring and tiring, although she had learned a lot before.
I have also practiced KPOP dance specifically for ballet, but since my practice time is the shortest and my overall foundation is not very good, I naturally have to work harder in order to achieve my goals.
I spend most of my time practicing, and there is no room left to pursue my idol.
Mingjing Nan has never seen Chi Jingyuan in person since the last viewing contract of "Misheng", and the special emotions that have been brewing in her heart have been restrained a lot. But this feeling originated from impulse.
After returning to rationality, it did not disappear. On the contrary, after repeated thinking, it seemed to be more certain of its authenticity, and it became more and more mellow and fragrant as time passed.
It’s just that the less you see it, the more you pay attention to it.
In addition, several close friends around her often tease her and make fun of her. Sometimes when she thinks about it, her heart feels a little anxious like a cat scratching her.
The release of EXO's MV today is something she has been waiting for for a long time.
At the same time, Zhou Ziyu and others who also live in the JYP dormitory, and other girl group idols who are close to Ji Jingyuan and other EXO members, and Kim Ji Hee are already going crazy with anticipation, hoping that their Ou
Ariel, who has returned to Dafa, are curious about XO's huge comeback and whether they have returned to the top or fallen into disrepair. There are also a large number of black people who are even more concerned than Ariel, hoping that EXO will release a shit song and immediately rush to the streets.
Fans.
They were in different places and locations, but logged into SM's official account page at the same time, refreshed the page, and saw the title song MV and information that had been released.
Single album "E".
The title song "call me baby".
After briefly looking at the introduction of the album and songs, I couldn’t wait to click in.
After a short load, the black screen slowly lit up, and then there was a brisk drum beat. Along with the drum beat, Kai drove a handsome car, which was obviously modified. The tail wing wanted to be raised to the sky. It was expensive at first glance.
The blue Lamborghini RDO slowly drove in from outside the perspective.
At the same time, the camera shot a close-up to the left. On the left side of this underground parking lot-like venue, a row of luxury sports cars were neatly parked. The colors of red, white, blue and green looked extremely cool.
The appearance of each car is very exaggerated, and the familiar logos of Ferrari, Porsche, Mercedes and other big brands look very dazzling. The first moment the lens catches the eye, people can't help but think of the smell of money.
Just when the camera flashed across a white Mercedes coupe, Zhou Ziyu, who was watching the MV, couldn't help but smile knowingly. Although the license plate was specially covered up, she recognized it at a glance as this was Tian Chi.
The car that Jingyuan drove.
Thinking of the scene in the car at that time, she couldn't help but reveal a sweet dimple.
Mingjing Nan was stunned for a moment and sat up involuntarily.
The shape of this car is really eye-catching, and she can easily tell that it is the Mercedes SLS AMG model that she has seen in magazines.
The problem was that she had only seen this model of Mercedes-Benz near the company not long ago. At that time, she saw Zhou Ziyu, a trainee from the same company, sitting in it, so she was quite impressed.
This kind of coupe, which costs nearly 1 billion, shouldn't be too much in Seoul. Is it such a coincidence that an identical one appears in EXO's MV?
Doubt and suspicion flashed in her eyes, and she decided to go back and take a closer look after watching it, but the first thing now was to watch the MV first.
When the roaring engine stopped, Kai walked out of the car and sat at the front of the car. He looked to the side for a few seconds and then there was a sound of air coming in.
"call me baby."
"The streets were bustling with excitement."
"call me baby."
"There is alienation and silence between people."
After Kai danced solo for a while while the front of the car rocked, the song officially started. The opening melody and lyrics made many people's eyes light up as soon as they heard it, and they felt that their hearing and vision were all tightly grasped.
As Kai fell on his back and let the camera out, four members appeared on the original convertible Lamborghini, and then his introduction began the formal verse part.
"Another shot to the end? Why does EXO do this trick every time?"
Just after watching the beginning, some people couldn't help but complain in their hearts. Fans were naturally surprised, but those who couldn't stand it naturally swallowed the last sentence "He's handsome."
"Hey girl's eternal version of Setsuna."
"A fateful moment."
"It penetrated my body and mind in an instant."
"As fast as lightning, it cuts across the world."
While singing his part, chen walked around the venue. Under his guidance, the perspective moved into the room. As chen crossed the sofa and sat on it, Chi Jingyuan, who many people had been waiting for for a long time, finally
appeared in the lens.
He looked very smart and slim in a simple black short-sleeved trousers with white stripes. His extremely conspicuous smoky gray hair directly attracted all the eyes to him. He wore dark sunglasses and had a soft mouth.
Xiao Xiao sat on the sofa casually and followed Chen in doing the moves. Finally, Erlang raised his legs in a dashing way and leaned against the back of the sofa.
Even though he didn't have any lyrics in this shot, and Chen was singing all the songs, he already appeared and seemed to become the center of the whole picture. People couldn't help but focus all their eyes and attention on Chi Jingyuan.
, and inadvertently ignored Jin Jongdae next to him.
"Oh Mo, this look..."
"Ah ah, he's so handsome."
Jiang Seulqi couldn't help but cover her mouth and look at the screen in surprise, but before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by a scream from Jin Yelin opposite her. She looked up and saw that the new maknae looked like a fan.
He kept waving his hands and hitting the bed, and kept shaking with an extremely excited expression.
People like Bae Zhuhyun and Zhou Ziyu, who have seen this look many times, still feel a strong impact. Seeing it in reality is one feeling, and seeing it in the MV summary is a completely different one.
I feel that Chi Jingyuan, who has a good appearance, digested this dress and hair color very well.
"..."
Mingjing Nan, who saw Chi Jingyuan like this for the first time, was a little distracted. Her doubts about the coupe had long been forgotten, and a numb feeling like an electric shock surged from the bottom of her heart, making her almost faint.
Hold the phone steady in your hand.
She remembers all the looks from EXO's previous comebacks, but none of them gave her such a stunning feeling.
It was Do Kyung-soo's turn for his part. When he was singing and dancing to the lyrics, Chi Kyung-won also stood up from the sofa with him. He threw off his sunglasses as the fans exclaimed, and walked to a table with him.
He stood in front of him, resting his hands on it, and met Wu Shixun, who had been waiting here for a long time. The three people in the dormitory line were in the same frame.
"You penetrate my dry lips and wake me up."
"The time's wasting girl!"
"So don't wait, don't wait too long."
I saw the three of them leaving the table. Under someone's lead and several irregular crotch thrusts, Chi Jingyuan walked quickly towards the camera, getting closer and closer, smiling and singing his part, and
Wu Shixun followed behind, and the two of them interacted with each other in the close-up of the camera, their bodies crossing back and forth. Finally, Chi Jingyuan pointed at the camera with both hands and waved his left hand vigorously. The camera quickly turned to show the six members who had already set up their postures.
Appearing in it, the first chorus officially begins.
This pseudo-one-shot MV technique is really dizzying, and the switching of perspectives is extremely natural, making people completely immersed in the gorgeous and handsome dance under the guidance.
"The world is full of strange things."
“It’s hard to distinguish between true and false.”
"call me baby call me baby."
"call me baby call me baby."
After the six people finished singing the first verse, they all cheered together. Chi Kyung-won, Oh Se-hun, and Do Kyung-soo, who had not been in front of the camera before, quickly entered the country and stood in the C position in the first row to dance with the members.
"It was you who allowed me to find my existence."
"In my world, you are unique."
“You’re the one.”
“Girl you’re the one I want.”
"call me baby call me baby."
The dynamic and highly addictive melody keeps swirling in the ears like a chant, and the chorus sublimates the rhythm that has already made people immersed in it. The neat group dance with full rhythm looks very handsome and dexterous.
The unrestrained exchange of positions is dazzling, and one can only concentrate on the screen like a man possessed.
Whether it was the action of tapping the shoulder while moving, the continuous jumping of feet to change positions, or even the iconic hip-top transition, all of them left a very deep impression on everyone.
"I am trapped in darkness and lost."
"In that darkness."
After two consecutive transitions to the end of the second main chorus, under the guidance of several members, the camera quickly turned to the side again. Baekhyun appeared in the camera and sang his lyrics affectionately.
Then Kai and Chen entered the camera from the left and right, and the three people stood in a line in front of the camera, posing crosswise from left to right.
When it came to the third part of the game, a very familiar harmony entered the cochlea. Chi Jingyuan stretched his right hand from the right and naturally introduced it into the camera, singing in a low voice, a harmony that almost purified the soul.
The camera zoomed in to give a super close-up of Chi Jingyuan, who was standing at the front.
In the picture, Chi Jingyuan slightly raised his head and looked at the camera coldly, very forcefully. He kept retreating under the rhythm of the melody, and at the same time sang a fierce and angry voice:
"You gave me a new lease of life!"
This series of shots really shocked the audience who were watching the MV at this time. Screams came from countless rooms, the harmonies that just soaked into the soul, the continuous personal cooperation, the screaming appearance at close range and the perfect harmony.
The singing voice directly forms the killing part that instantly kills fans and passers-by.
"Ah, this shot is so beautiful."
"The harmony is really nice. Jingyuan's vocal ability..."
Kang Seulgi and Son Seungwan sang together with emotion, while Bae Joo Hyun, who was sitting in the middle, quietly watched the MV being played and was very immersed in it.
Now most of the song has been revealed. Although most of Bae Zhuhyun's attention is focused on Chi Jingyuan, overall she feels that this first title song is really excellent, both in terms of melody and melody.
, the arrangements are all very nice, especially the choreography is really cool.
On the other side, Mingjing Nan has been pursed her lips since Chi Jingyuan appeared on the scene just now, staring closely at the screen of her mobile phone. At this time, the progress bar of the MV in her mobile phone has almost reached the end. EXO9 people
During the final group dance in the open field, she suddenly couldn't help but scream in surprise, and then quickly covered her mouth for fear of disturbing her roommate.
I saw that the screen had turned into black and white tones. Chi Jingyuan walked from the right to the center C position of the entire team. After a few sharp movements, everyone in EXO leaned back at the same time and spread their hands behind them.
Several very touching waves came in succession.
Then, like crabs, the EXO group moved parallel to the left simultaneously. While moving uniformly, they were still performing a very rhythmic and feeling rhythm. The whole scene looked very exciting, both in terms of aura and stunning level.
Full value, the appearance of such a special group dance at the end seems to have brought some sublimation to the previous parts.
"call me baby call me baby."
"call me baby call me baby."
“I will never tire of calling me girl a thousand times.”
Before Nai Minami could react, the main video of the MV had ended as the nine members of EXO stood in their ending poses, and the logos of EXO and SM that appeared later were directly ignored.
She thought of the several shocking and impressive scenes she had just seen, as well as the unforgettable smoky gray hair color, and directly pulled the progress bar to the front, while looking at the screen, she murmured in a very low voice.
One sentence:
"Call me..."
"Wow, this song is really great, especially the choreography. Did you see the crab walk at the end? I..."
Before Jiang Seulqi could give her speech, she was interrupted by a loud shout. Bae Zhuhyun, who was a little immersed in watching the movie, frowned slightly and looked up to the opposite side.
I saw that the two maknae opposite me were making a fuss with excitement at this time. Park Soo Young was just dancing to the beat, while Jin Yelin, the most energetic person, got off the bed and started covering the song "Call Me" that she had just watched.
When I danced to "Baby", my legs, which were only wearing long johns, were not too cold, and I sang excitedly "call me baby, call me baby."
Seeing this girl patting her shoulders while moving, she looked a bit like EXO in the MV. Bae Zhuhyun relaxed her brows and couldn't help but chuckle, but she still interrupted Jin Yelin's solo performance: "Keep your voice down.
Huiying Oni will come over to teach you a lesson later."
"Hehe..." Jin Yelin was not afraid at all. After laughing twice, she sat back on the bed and played with Park Xiurong. She still said "call me baby..." from time to time.
After finishing the song, the repetitive lyrics combined with the addictive melody really left a very deep impression on people.
I don’t know how many people sang this sentence in their mouths, rang in their ears, and chanted in their hearts at this time.
…
Even though it was already early in the morning, several large online music forums were still very lively. When you clicked on them, the top few syllables were very conspicuous:
