"We like2 party~~until the sun rises from the west~"
"Inkigayo" EXO's lounge was filled with the melody of "We Like 2 Party", one of Big Bang's new songs this time. The dozen or so people in the room nodded their heads and twisted their bodies rhythmically to the music.
There were several people raising their hands high and waving, with their eyes closed, looking very involved. If matched with suitable and gorgeous nightclub lights, the entire lounge would look like a small club.
The sales volume of this comeback has increased significantly compared to the previous two months, and the MV clicks on YouTube have set a record. One of the shortcomings of the previous group has directly become an insurmountable peak for other teams. More importantly, they have always been beaten by Big Bang.
The suppressed music source has undergone a big turnaround, and the title song still firmly occupies the first position on most charts a week after its release.
The popularity and attention have reached an enviable peak stage, which is even worse than the "Roar" period. At the same time, the substantial benefits brought by it can be felt by everyone.
Because of their unexpectedly explosive results, all members of EXO have been in a very good mood recently. Even after returning to Seoul and busy with promotions and schedules, they are still enjoying it.
I don’t know who turned on the public playback on their mobile phone in the lounge just now, and the new song played was Big Bang’s new song. I originally wanted to turn it off, but when the song came out, I found that almost everyone could sing it. After a few words, it quickly lit up the song.
He caught everyone's enthusiasm and started playing along.
Even Chi Jingyuan, who was playing the game, was infected by the atmosphere. When it came to the chorus, he also raised his hands and waved, humming a few words "We like2 party~~", and even gave it to the most immersed people.
After two clicks, the whole lounge suddenly became excited as if it was on fire. It was as if the hostel was really holding a party.
If there were any outsiders knocking on the door and coming in at this time, they would probably think that they were in the wrong place.
Not to mention, even though Big Bang is EXO’s biggest rival now, and their private relationship is very average, their music is really good, including last month’s “Loser”, several of Ji Jingyuan’s songs are very good
like.
There is a reason why he is so popular. The other members of EXO are obviously very concerned about this opponent. Otherwise, everyone would not be able to sing when the song is played. Just listening to Wu Shixun's singing, the investment and enjoyment make people feel that he is better than him in XO
I have more feeling when I sing my own part in the song.
I just don’t know if Da Bang’s seniors will feel very relieved when they see this scene in front of them and see their biggest rival, the junior boy band, singing their own songs so happily to celebrate, or will they feel a sense of joy?
Inexplicable irony.
“We like2 party…”
"Stop singing. It's ready over there. Pre-recording will start soon. Come on over."
"Barry barry!"
But before they could be happy for a while, Li Chenghuan walked in without knocking on the door, and interrupted the party in the room by patting the table. At his urging, everyone sighed with some unfinished thoughts and checked their appearance in the mirror.
Then he walked out.
Today is the last song performance in the first week of comeback. It is already the fourth performance since Thursday's "M!C". Unlike Big Bang, even if there is no concert, the seniors and mysterious people still don't play songs much when they come back.
Style, EXO, as long as there are no important schedule delays, or some specific reasons, as long as they come back, they will usually play four programs on the three major channels and "M!C" every week, even "The Show" or "Show Champion"
If the program team invites me kindly, I will take the time to go there.
Although it is indeed a bit tiring, the promotional effect is there, and the fans are very happy to watch it. They can look forward to it every day. It feels really good to see your own idol on TV.
During the pre-recording, in order to create a good atmosphere and give back to the fans, usually the audience is composed of fans of their own group who have been screened in advance. However, after communicating with the PD and VJ at the scene, the nine members of EXO stood on the stage, and the audience
Fans who had been waiting for a long time and were waiting in front of SBS in the middle of the night immediately burst into excited cheers.
Chi Jingyuan stood in the middle position, posing with his back to the stage, waiting for the opening. He felt that the headset on the left was a little uncomfortable, so he reached out and adjusted it slightly.
"Ahhhh..."
I just didn't expect that a very simple little action would cause Alli to scream loudly in the audience.
The music hadn't started yet. After hearing the screams, Chi Jingyuan adjusted the headset and turned around to look at the fans in the audience. He seemed to feel a little strange and blinked.
Then immediately there were cheers that were even more exciting than before, and it seemed that they couldn't hold it back even before they started recording.
Maybe these Ellie were really happy to see them.
It may also be because they looked pretty good today. Cody did not let them continue to restore the outfits and hair colors in the MV for the last song this week. All the members on the stage were wearing crisp suits, and Chi Jingyuan
Beneath a dark fitted suit is a mane of seemingly ordinary black hair.
The color does not seem to be outstanding, but after being carefully taken care of, it looks very comfortable when paired with a straight figure and a suit of the same color. When not smiling, there is a faint aura of abstinence, but when smiling, it looks contrasting and intimate.
The eyes of many fans in the audience lit up when they saw it. Some Wei fans locked on him after scanning around, and it was really difficult to look away.
Chi Jingyuan briefly looked back. The fans in the audience were all holding EXO support banners and looked very neatly. In the front row under the stage, he also noticed several assistants arranged by the company holding equipment and preparing
Take their official candid shots.
Hearing the cheers one after another, he couldn't help but burst out laughing, and then quickly turned away from the incoming screams, but his mood became brighter along with the enthusiasm of Ellie.
"woo~~woo~~woo~~woo~~woo~~"
After the director's prompt, the prelude sounded. Putting aside some complicated thoughts, Chi Jingyuan immediately got into the state, followed by all the other members and started to move like a conditioned reflex. With his back to the camera and the audience, he shook his shoulders left and right in a very feeling way.
"woo~~woo~~woo~~woo~~woo~~"
The rhythm point was soon reached. He skillfully turned around and looked at the audience seat below and the close-up camera close at hand. He pursed his lips slightly, but the corners of his mouth were raised appropriately. He looked up and made a
A curious expression, with an obvious smile in his eyes.
He didn't lick his tongue provocatively like in the MV. It was enough to do this kind of action in the MV. If it were performed on the stage in real life, it would indeed make people feel a little ashamed, and every time he played a song, he would feel a little ashamed.
If you do it, the original sense of surprise will be lost if you watch it too much. Except for the first stage, Chi Jingyuan doesn't do this kind of wink very much anymore.
But today's casual expression seems to have a pretty good effect. In Chi Jingyuan's peripheral vision, several fans have already stood up excitedly.
"I'm curious as to how your day was."
"oh tell me~"
After turning around, Chi Jingyuan quickly retreated to rush to the next formation position. At the same time, Baekhyun's soft opening voice sounded, and his sultry tone echoed around him. He couldn't help laughing immediately after hearing it.
come out.
Every time he heard this sound, he wanted to laugh. Just by hearing the sound, he could imagine him pinching his orchid fingers and twisting them back and forth coquettishly. As the instigator, Chi Jingyuan, he would have a sense of humor.
I find it very interesting.
Who would have thought that Byun Baekhyun could have such a talent.
Because his attention was attracted, he almost collided with Jin Junmyeon who was walking back. The two of them turned to the side in tacit agreement, then looked at each other and laughed together, and quickly turned around and left.
Pass.
Today's fan support was unexpectedly enthusiastic and powerful. In addition, they were in a good mood because of their results. The EXO members on the stage were obviously very happy and engaged. Even though it was not very convenient to dance with a microphone, the dance movements
It was still very relaxed and freehand. It was obvious that I really enjoyed the atmosphere of this performance. There were many more smiles and interactions than on the usual stage.
With concentration and relaxation, the stage effect seemed particularly smooth, and the chorus soon reached the chorus amid the continuous cheers.
"oh~my my my~~oh~my my my~~"
All the fans present opened their voices and began to sing in unison very skillfully. In an instant, the loud voices obviously drowned out the accompaniment in the speakers.
Because this part is a feat performed by Son Seungwan, and she is a female vocalist, and she will not be present during the singing session. Therefore, it would not be very convenient for EXO to perform with the mic on on stage, so from the second singing session
From the beginning, everyone in Aili quickly became a tacit understanding, and when it came to the prat part of the chorus, the whole audience was singing along.
Chi Jingyuan and the others didn't have to sing a word of "oh~my my my~~" in the whole song, they just harmonized and acted as backup dancers.
"oh~my my my~~"
"EXO!"
"oh~my my my~~"
"EXO!"
After a chorus line, the next line of EXO's part will be followed by words of support. Each line is shouted out at the highest volume, but the Ariels still switch seamlessly with ease, both in terms of uniformity and frequency of ventilation.
It was as if they had received special training and reached a professional level. The resounding sound made the staff nearby secretly smack their lips.
The choreography of "Boy with Luv" is really unique, including tapping the ground quickly like a tap dance, slapping oneself in continuous waves, high-leg raising in a group dance, and everyone's neat little steps moving sideways and the captain coming out and calling their names one by one.
The choreography is not just to show the handsomeness of the members, but every movement is eye-catching and gives the audience a lively and playful look.
Paired with appropriate wink expressions and music melody, the whole stage effect is very good. It makes people feel very relaxed and happy easily.
Soon it came to the second half of the song, the stage of continuous rap. All the members stood or squatted or stood in a horizontal row on the stage. However, Chi Jingyuan, who did not have a part in this section, was squatting in his position on the left, dancing just now.
It was too intense and he was panting slightly. At the same time, he looked up and looked sideways at the C position, where the VJ was getting close to Park Chanyeol for a hot close-up of the camera. He nodded his head gently in accordance with the rhythm of his loud and engaging rap.
It sounds like this guy's rap has improved.
Then Chi Jingyuan turned back and glanced around the stage casually. He happened to glance at Wu Shixun who was standing next to him. Obviously, the hot atmosphere today made this boy very happy and had a good temperament.
Chi Jingyuan winked and winked at the auditorium below, as if to hint at something.
Looking in his direction, excited fans formed a wave and cheered loudly. You could clearly see the girls who were closer to him, their faces turned red and they were jumping on the spot.
Looking away, Chi Jingyuan shrugged towards Wu Shixun, and then suddenly smiled brightly.
This atmosphere is really great, even Wu Shixun, who is wearing a white suit, looks more handsome.
After hearing the change in rhythm, he knew it was time for his part. Chi Jingyuan, who had been lazy for a while, immediately stood up, followed Wu Shixun and started walking to the middle of the stage, dancing normally, while holding a hand microphone and started singing the whole song.
Make the final finishing touches.
"Love is nothing stronger."
"EXO! EXO!"
“Than a boy with~~~Than a boy with luv.”
"EXO! EXO!"
With the support of all the audience, EXO put on the ending pose and ended the first stage pre-recording.
Maybe it’s because I was in really good condition today, and there were no obvious mistakes. Both the stage effect and the cooperation of the fans were outstanding. In the past, pre-recordings that needed to be shot several times, the program team actually did it once after seeing the results of the shooting.
It passed, and there was no need to take another shot just to be on the safe side. EXO, who had just stepped onto the stage not long ago, was done with their work today.
After saying goodbye to the reluctant fans, everyone walked backstage in a happy mood, and the voice of "we like 2 party" came faintly from the crowd.
"yeah~yeah~yeah~yeah..."
…………
"How about we really have a party in two days and go to a club together? There are several good ones in Itaewon..."
"Or go to KTV to sing or something..."
"Just a few of us?"
"How is that possible? What's the point of us? Why don't we have late night snacks in the dormitory... We must have an appointment with some female idols."
EXO, who had just finished the live broadcast of "Inkigayo", was eating at a restaurant next to SBS. Ji Kyung-won quickly dug into the bibimbap with a spoon while listening to several interested members chatting about leisure and relaxation.
.
Although they kept talking and chatting, the few of them did not stop eating for a moment. They had a very busy schedule for a few days. There were still two programs and radio stations to be recorded at SBS, so they had to rush there immediately after dinner.
Chi Jingyuan didn't comment on Park Chanyeol's proposal. He didn't care. If there were a lot of people in group activities, he would just go with him.
Although several people sitting next to him were already chatting enthusiastically about which familiar female idols they wanted to hang out with, Chi Jingyuan listened attentively but never interrupted, so he ate the fastest and finished the meal.
After taking the last sip, he took a sip of water, took out a tissue, wiped his mouth, and gave one to everyone. Then he took out his phone and prepared to check it out to see how Ellie felt about the stage of "Inkigayo" that had just been broadcast, and whether she was satisfied or not.
satisfy.
I just unlocked my phone and received a message at the same time by coincidence.
""Boy with luv" is really good to listen to, and the stage is also very beautiful."
It was sent by Zhou Ziyu, and it was just nonsense.
"You have something to say."
Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but curl his lips when he saw the message he received. After seeing through it at a glance, he unceremoniously exposed the girl's hidden thoughts.
Why isn't there any progress?
"Hehe, it sounds really good... Are you free on the 14th or 13th?"
There was a faint hint of timidity in her words, as if there was something difficult to say.
After just glancing at it, Chi Jingyuan was a little speechless. He looked up at the progress of the members' eating and quickly tapped the screen with both hands: "What are you doing? Are you hinting that your birthday is coming again? Why don't you make it so obvious! Zhou Ziyu xi
Can you please stop pretending to be stupid and cute...I'll remember it."
"What are you doing? No!"
Obviously being misunderstood made Zhou Ziyu a little annoyed, and the dissatisfaction in her tone could be felt across the screen. She sent two messages in succession to explain:
"It's my mother who is coming to see me in those two days. She said... she wanted to treat you to a meal... um... thank you... by the way, she said she also brought some specialties from our place.
I want to give you some."
The intermittent words clearly showed the owner's tangled mental state, and Chi Jingyuan was stunned after seeing it.
He was not surprised that Zhou's mother knew about him, because after being in contact with her for so long, he had long felt that Zhou Ziyu was a character who cared very much about his family, and he liked to tell some interesting things about his family in private chats.
It can be seen between the lines that she has a very good relationship with her relatives, especially her mother. Every time she talks about her mother, she feels that she suddenly becomes younger and loses the maturity brought by her trainee career.
He Zhiyanguanju turned into a little girl who misses her family and likes to act coquettishly.
I just didn't expect that Zhou's mother would suddenly want to see him. It was really sudden.
"Your mother? Come here to celebrate your birthday?"
"Yes, she told me two days ago...do you have time...do you want to come?"
"Let me take a look..." Chi Jingyuan swiped the screen, preparing to look at the itinerary on the notepad, but just before he clicked it, he immediately remembered the important activities in the next two days.
"We left Seoul on the 11th. We have two concerts in Taipei on the 12th and 13th. There should be some related activities after that. It will probably be the 15th or 6th when we come back."
Of course, it was not made up but it was an exact schedule. EXO had been practicing for this for a long time, but they just didn’t react at the moment.
Chi Jingyuan didn't have any objection to Zhou's mother's initiative to meet up. He felt that if the other party knew who he was and his daughter had such a friend, it would be quite normal for him to behave like this, and he didn't feel anything awkward about having a meal together.
The place,
It’s not just a girlfriend or a meeting with the mother-in-law, having a meal with a friend’s parents and accepting their thanks.
It's a pity that I just missed the schedule of the trip.
"Oh, I know, I will tell her."
Zhou Ziyu replied after reading the reply, but she felt a little stuck in her heart.
He obviously didn't want to tell Chi Jingyuan before, but after the other party really said that he didn't have time, he took a breath and quickly felt a sense of loss and inexplicable complex emotions.
"I've been too busy these two days. Let's wait until the next opportunity. I'll treat you to dinner when Auntie comes again... By the way, when will you be free these two days? I'll give you a gift in advance before I leave."
Seeing the message that Chi Jingyuan sent immediately after, Zhou Ziyu seemed to feel the meaning contained in it. Zhou Ziyu blinked and his mood quickly improved again.
She pursed her lips and typed: "After practice in the afternoon, I usually have time during dinner... What kind of gift is it?"
"you guess!"
Zhou Ziyu looked up at the ceiling and thought about several possible things. As he thought about it, he grinned with his little fangs exposed and smiled expectantly.
"I can not guess it!"
"It's what you need most right now."
Seeing this prompt, Zhou Ziyu immediately thought about it in that direction happily. His dark eyes rolled a few times, but soon he seemed to think of something. His brows suddenly wrinkled, and the expectant smile that was still on his face just now was instantly revealed.
It collapsed, and even the fingers tapping the screen were obviously a lot harder:
"You want to say I'm evil again...why are you so annoying?"
