Currently, the closest event to major idol groups in the Peninsula music industry is the annual Mama Awards Ceremony, which will be held on December 2nd. In order to prepare for this Mama, m has stopped the last two episodes of "m!untdown"
Instead of the normal broadcast, they were all used to review the songs released by well-known idol groups this year, and at the same time announced the shortlists for several awards, providing a long warm-up for the upcoming Mama.
At the same time, several awards that require fans to vote have also closed their voting channels. Fans who have been canvassing for more than half a month are also arguing online about the final results. At this time of year, there are many "shady theories"
'The spread on the Internet brought a lot of attention and discussion to Mama.
However, Ariel will not participate in this kind of session, because they have never lost in voting. If EXO appears as a candidate for this kind of voting award, other groups can basically only compete for second place.
Already.
On November 29, Mama announced the final guest list for this awards ceremony. While attracting the attention of fans and most of the music industry, it also immediately became the focus of online discussion.
Because this year’s mama guest lineup is really amazing.
This year, they occupied almost all the pages in the first half of the year, launching a peak battle. There is no doubt that exo and bigbang are the most popular idol groups this year. They have already set the tone for this mama's luxurious lineup. In addition, SM is coming.
Shee, fx, Girls' Generation and Red Velvet, YG sent 2ne1, Ikon, JYP and Park Jin Young himself and got7.
Different from the situation in previous years where artists from the three major companies were often absent due to conflicts or other reasons, this time all three major companies sent their top artists to attend and carefully prepared the performance stage. Such a grand scene has already happened
It hasn't appeared in several years.
In addition to the idol group, there are also solo singers Kim Taeyeon, HyunA, and Jessi, who have recently become popular and have extremely strong sound sources, including several well-known rappers including this year's "Showthe Oney" winner, Sane, and Ji Jingyuan's old acquaintance
dynaic duo, as well as psy, who is the last to perform, will announce their character’s first stage at this year’s mama.
As soon as this guest lineup came out, many people have praised this year's Mama as the strongest guest lineup in history, and many people also feel that with the development of so many years, kpop will also this year, that is,
2015 ushered in the most peak moment.
A strong guest lineup will certainly make ordinary audiences happy, but as an awards ceremony, apart from the stage, the awards are naturally the most important, especially the Grand Award, which is the top priority. Many people immediately started to pay attention to the Grand Award.
The ownership debate.
Although some singers or groups are quite popular, they often appear in people's careers, are highly exposed, and achieve good results, but if we really say that these people can win big awards and reach the top level, they are still in the hearts of most viewers.
I still feel that they are still a little bit behind.
There are not many groups of this caliber in the entire music industry.
After some discussion, as expected, most people still feel that this time the Grand Prize is still a head-to-head showdown between EXO and BigBang.
At this time, Aili and .p were also quarreling on the Internet. Originally, because of the positive performance suppression, .p could not speak loudly in front of Aili, but because of the previous mma, the number of bigbang awards was 2 to 1, and Gai
After exo passed by, who was not present, P., who had been silent for a long time and shrank away from Ai Li, was shocked. During this period, he showed signs of resurgence.
The strongest guest lineup, the competition between the two boy groups for the grand prize, and the Kpop event reaching its peak, coupled with the heated discussions and arguments on the Internet, directly made the popularity of Mama soaring, and raised the expectations of all viewers.
It’s full, and we are all waiting for the arrival of the 2nd of next month.
Among them, Chi Jingyuan also looked at the list announced by Mama, but was a little surprised not to find ice's name on it. He originally thought that Zhou Ziyu and the others would also go to Mama this time.
He didn't bother to ask, maybe because he was still a newcomer, so he didn't invite me.
…
On the morning of December 1st, except for Park Chanyeol who had a personal itinerary in Mainland China, the EXO group took a plane to Hong Kong Island. After a short stay and thanking the fans who picked up the airport, they took the rented nanny car and booked it back.
of hotels.
Many artists came to SM this time, and they were all arranged in the same hotel. However, because each group had different schedules and times, they did not come together this time. At least Chi Jingyuan knew that red Velvet would not show up until the evening.
Come to Seoul.
After putting the things away and repairing them for a while, they went directly to the AsiaWorld-Expo, the venue for this year's mama, under the leadership of their agent.
Starting from 2012, including this year, Mama has been held at the AsiaWorld-Expo for four consecutive years, and EXO has been participating in Mama since their debut in 2012 until this year. I would like to comment on the process of this award ceremony, and
This venue can be said to be very familiar.
This year, Li Chenghuan, who led the team, did not talk non-stop in the car like before. After casually explaining a few things to note, he stopped talking. Instead, he talked about the insider gossip of the guests this time.
After arriving at the venue, I first went to have some communication with the organizer, and then waited for about an hour. Under the arrangement of the staff, EXO went on the stage and started to perform and rehearse the stage.
Although mama just started on the 2nd, it was actually very busy on the 1st, because in addition to the evening party on the 2nd, there were press conferences and red carpet sessions during the day, and the formal rehearsal was arranged in the morning, so the time was relatively limited
There was not enough time, so most of the rehearsal work was done the day before.
"You have been practicing for this stage for a long time. I don't need to remind you about the dance. We mainly practice the process of the actual stage and the use of the elevator..."
At this time, there was no audience in the entire venue. Except for the busy staff around, most of the area seemed empty. EXO were all wearing private clothes, standing on the main stage, listening to the company's teachers and organizer staff explaining:
"For the first song "Callbaby", the VCR we recorded before will be played at the beginning. During the playback, we should stand up on the stage. When the first chorus is over, the performance will officially start when Kai walks into the formation and stands.
, this connection part must be done well, and follow the rhythm of the drum..."
"'Callbaby' was followed by 'Lightsaber'. When the stage ended and the lights went out, everyone hurried backstage to change clothes. Kai and Sehun changed first. After changing, they took the elevator and started the sword dance... Don't laugh..."Star Wars"
His lightsaber is so cool. Others who want to play with it haven’t had a chance yet. Please be careful when dancing with the sword to avoid damaging the props. I took a look and found that the quality of the lightsaber props is not particularly good..."
The stage of "Lightsaber" is not a complete performance. It starts with Wu Sehun and Kim Jong-in dancing with lightsabers in the dark, and then there is a special stage for the six members. Compared with the formal performance, in fact, the promotion of "Lightsaber"
Star Wars has a stronger meaning.
"After the six-person stage of "Lightsaber" is "Spring Day", Jingyuan was the first to come up from the elevator. He stood on the sub-stage without moving. The same goes for everyone else. They waited for the light sticks to come down from the sky before moving."
"Then came "drop that". Everyone spread out on the stage. Everyone was assigned to an area and tried to cover the entire stage. Sehun, Jingyuan and you went directly to the artist's seat. When the camera cut across
, you can have some interactions with other people.”
"The last "boy with v" doesn't have a special setting, so I won't talk about it, but this song is the last stage. You should be very tired after four songs. Remember to adjust your breathing and don't make mistakes.
"
Because the performance of "Lightsaber" is only one and a half minutes and cannot be considered a complete song, this time EXO can be said to have four and a half songs on stage, three of which are the most popular title songs this year, totaling nearly 20
With a performance time of 10 minutes, he is one of the most important performers of Mama this time, the other one is Big Bang.
"I don't require you to memorize everything at once. We still have a lot of time today. Let's rehearse a few times to get familiar with it. Remember, it's mainly about the process. The specific dance will be discussed during the rehearsal tomorrow. Do you remember it?" Twenty minutes?
The performance was really a bit long, and the stage design teacher talked a lot about all the connections and conversion processes. Finally, he clapped his hands and shouted something loudly.
"Inside."
Everyone responded and entered the state.
"let's start……"
…
EXO are also experienced seniors. They are also very familiar with this venue and the use of various lifts. After running a few times, there will be no problem. After the tour, we went to have dinner together and waited until night fell.
The people returned to their hotel.
"Brother Junmian is calling for a card game, will you go?"
While Wu Shixun was putting on his shoes, he looked back at Chi Jingyuan who came out of the bathroom and asked.
Although the manager did not restrict evening activities, because they had important schedules tomorrow and needed to get up early, even Park Chanyeol and the others did not go out and stayed in the hotel to play their own things.
"You guys go ahead and play, I'll watch TV for a while." Chi Jingyuan waved his hand. He had never been interested in poker.
Of course Wu Shixun knew, he was just being polite, and after Chi Jingyuan refused, he said "Let's go" and then closed the door and left.
He was happy and relaxed when he was left alone in the room. Chi Jingyuan was lying on the bed lazily watching the program on TV. When he was getting a little bored, the cell phone beside him rang.
I stretched and took it over and saw that it was a text message from Zhou Ziyu.
Inside is a picture of a city night view taken from a high position. Judging from the angle, it should be from a high-rise building of a hotel. As for the content, Chi Jingyuan knew at a glance that it was a night view of Hong Kong Island.
The meaning of this photo is very obvious.
He looked at the photo twice and felt a little strange. He tapped his phone to send: "Are you here too?"
