At the same time, both the forum and the fan base began to quickly swipe the screen:
"Ah ah ah, the oppas are here!"
"It's finally coming out! I've been waiting for an hour."
"I've been waiting from the beginning until now... but to be honest, the stage for singing today was pretty good, and several of the songs were good. If EXO hadn't come back, the competition for the top spot would have been fierce during this period."
"I hope the costumes for today's "Blood, Sweat and Tears" song are the ones in the MV, then I'm really going to die!"
It is clear that this reissue of the album's return MV has exploded. Discussion posts can be seen everywhere on the website. The title song is very popular. "Blood, Sweat, and Tears" has occupied the first place on the daily chart for three consecutive days. The response among fans and student groups is also
It's very good, and it looks like it will become a hit song for the new generation.
However, EXO has not held a formal live stage for three days since their return, which has already made all the fans thirsty. Their expectations have been extremely high, and they have been waiting for today's "Inkigayo" broadcast...
However, in today's Kpop, as long as XO returns to play songs, except for special occasions where super seniors participate, they will definitely be the last to appear. It is pitiful that so many fans have waited from the beginning until now.
But the wait was finally over. Alli and the audience cheered up as they looked at the eight EXO members on the screen who were wearing the same outfits as in the MV and had already posed on the stage for the opening scene.
"yeah~~"
“Oh yeah yeah yeah~~”
From the beginning, with the brisk melody, Do Kyungsu's lazy introduction, and the slightly naughty expressions of all the members, a relaxed and playful style was immediately created on the stage.
"Pretend to be indifferent."
"Avoid sight."
The song "LOTTO" uses a lot of banknotes, chips, and even money-counting scenes in the MV. The overall atmosphere highlights a drunken and wealthy person. Coupled with the plot of a gang-like competition, it is very enjoyable to watch.
But when it comes to live performances, the stage style of this song has a lazy elegance.
This style of hiphop song is EXO's first attempt, giving fans a very novel experience.
“The color of Lipstick chateau is burgundy~La la la la~”
“White champagne, bubble bath~La la la la~”
When the main song was about to end, Chi Jingyuan, who had been silent all this time, finally sang his part. He walked from the back of the group to the front, stood in front of the camera and sang the part, swaying gently to the music.
His temperament is lazy and his voice sounds very magnetic.
In the song "LOTTO", Ji Kyung-won doesn't have many parts. Even after Kim Jong-in was injured, he didn't get much from him. In this title song, there are relatively more parts where the other members show their faces, like
Kim Min-seok and Oh Se-hun both have more parts in this song than usual.
However, during the chorus group dance, Chi Jingyuan always stood at the front and led the dance, especially after the main dancer Kai left, basically most of the group dance formations were him and Wu Shixun exchanging C positions.
EXO's long line, which is over 1.8 meters tall, consists of four people. Three of them have long arms and legs and are very good at dancing. If they stand in the front, the overall impression of the group dance will be greatly improved.
The first time I saw the stage of "Lotto", every audience member watched it very seriously.
Compared with the songs released by EXO this year, such as "Fire", "Monster" and other songs, the choreography of "LOTTO" seems to be simpler, there are not so many jumping moves and steps, body waves and
There are a lot more fragmentary movements in the hands, and there are also a lot of high-five interactions between the members, as well as the choreography of the iconic lottery bell.
Although it was interesting and the various gestures and movements were dazzling, there was not much other feeling besides being handsome. It was not until the end of the second chorus that a burst of exclamations suddenly broke out in the audience: "Hey Yigu!"
"Oh oh' oh oh lotto~~"
"Oh oh' oh oh lotto~~"
I saw eight members of EXO standing in a 'cross' formation on the stage. In the dynamic melody of the chorus, they began to jump continuously with the vacant position in the middle as the center of the circle, and started to rotate around the stage very neatly.
A huge windmill was formed on the top, flapping bit by bit to the rhythm of the music. The large-scale movements and uniform movements aroused the audience and fans to marvel.
After rotating 180 degrees, all the members instantly dispersed and moved around while making gestures. After a second, they each stood in their own positions. If you look directly from above, a neat 'EXO' has been formed in the center of the stage.
The formation of the logo.
The fast and sharp moves made everyone's eyes brighten. Many viewers found that the song's stage had more highlights as it went to the back...
Sure enough, the atmosphere at the scene became lively again after a while.
I only saw the end of the song, with the eight members standing scattered on the stage. Amidst the lazy music and singing, everyone lightly shrugged their shoulders, spread their hands, and slowly turned their bodies to follow the melody.
The camera zooms out and slowly rotates around Chi Jingyuan and Wu Shixun in the front row. Their expressions are playful and lazy, and their movements are full of cynical indifference. The overall look is particularly sence.
"This action is so cool..." Cosmic Girls, who were watching the live broadcast in the backstage lounge, couldn't help but exclaimed in admiration.
This action is indeed quite cool, and many viewers who watched the show were impressed.
"LA la la la~"
It's a pity that such a sensible action lasted only two seconds, and the formation soon dispersed. With the last movement of the lottery bell, the stage of "LOTTO" ended, and the audience immediately shouted out enthusiastic screams
Voice.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! As the sound erupted and spread, the monitor also began to play the VCR at the same time, which made the loud sound pause. After seeing the VCR clearly
After the picture appeared, the sound started ringing more violently.
Portraits of the eight members of EXO appeared in the VCR one after another. They were all wearing various well-fitting suits, with the iconic makeup of "Blood, Sweat, and Tears" on their faces. Some of them were wearing rather sexy neck rings, which attracted attention.
The fans' hearts jumped.
Accompanied by the exciting drum beats and music, the last picture of Chi Jingyuan, who was wearing black clothes and black hair, and with a calm expression, staring at the camera appeared. After a pause, the screen turned, and the picture was fixed on the photo that caused a sensation in the first place. Everyone
In the promotional photo of "Blood, Sweat, and Tears" sitting on the sofa.
"Ahhhh..."
Screams of excitement and excitement were heard everywhere.
As the VCR played on the screen, EXO in the studio had already re-formed on the stage, but the live TV broadcast had cut to the stage video they had recorded a few days ago.
The background of the stage was carefully built by SM staff, completely replicating the luxurious hall in the MV that was full of religious mystery and full of oil paintings and sculptures.
In this magnificent, palace-like background, the newly blurred shot gradually became clearer. Eight EXO members in gorgeous suits were already standing together and posing.
The opening pose of "Blood, Sweat and Tears" is somewhat similar to that of "Monster". All the members are gathered together, bowing their heads, and no one can see their faces clearly.
Chi Jingyuan stood in the center of the team, squatting half-crouched behind Baekhyun. Most of his body was blocked, and he could only see his lowered forehead, but he stretched his right hand in front of him, and his arm poked out from the cuffs of his suit.
He came out and was caught by Byun Baekhyun who was standing in the C position in front, blocking the upper half of Byun Baekhyun's own face.
Covering your eyes is an important factor and concept in the choreography of "Blood, Sweat and Tears".
A simple opening pose creates a solemn and mysterious atmosphere.
But there are also people who don’t focus on this...
"The hands are so beautiful." Sun Chaeyoung ate her snacks, looked at the hand blocking Baekhyun's face on the screen, and praised her.
Mingjing Nan next to her heard this and glanced at her, twitching the corners of her mouth without leaving any trace, and whispered in her heart.
It's still warm...
However, when she looked at Chi Jingyuan's empty right hand without any decorations, she couldn't help but pursed her lips and thought about something in her mind.
"My blood, tears and sweat, my last dance."
"Take them all away."
After a brief period of silence, the intro that fans had played countless times over the past few days started playing. Along with the progressive background sound, Byun Baekhyun, who was in charge of the introduction, suddenly opened his voice, and everyone who had just squatted down followed suit.
Qiao Duan stood up slowly and raised his eyes to the sky.
Fans have seen this opening in MVs many times, but it is the first time to see the complete action on a formal stage. Compared with the more elaborate MVs, the impression given in LIVE will be more profound.
"My blood, sweat and tears, my cold breath."
"Take them all away."
After Baekhyun, Chi Kyung-won came out again and appeared in the center C position, wearing a black suit similar to the MV, but the style is slightly different. The lines and decorations used to show luxury in the MV are all
It disappeared, leaving only a pure black suit.
Although there are no decorative embellishments, the sense of elegance and luxury has not diminished at all. The pure black suit is more pure and serious, and the contrast seems to be a little stronger when worn on the body.
And the model seems to be a little smaller. Although the suit on the upper body is unbuttoned, it still looks a little tight. The lines of the shoulders are outlined like a right angle. With the lined white shirt, as soon as it appears in the camera, the TV
Fans who had been waiting for a long time were surprised to hear it.
After the opening of Chi Jingyuan and Byun Baekhyun, the whole atmosphere has been completely heated up. The background, voice, appearance, clothing, all factors are showing their own elegance and sexiness.
Immediately afterwards, the eight members covered their eyes and dispersed, starting their first live stage.
"My body and soul."
"I know it's all yours."
In the stage choreography of "Blood, Sweat, and Tears", the movements and moves look very fragmented, and many parts seem to be a little different, but overall they are traceable and do not appear disorganized. Instead, each member moves differently.
Bits and specific actions will make the entire stage look more vivid.
And it's not just a simple group dance and wave movements. The verse part before the chorus is very interesting through everyone's different positions and some specific choreography, such as toasting, silencing, falling to the ground, etc.
Characteristic movements are used to demonstrate concepts, as if they are showing a small drama.
Just when all the audience were looking at the stage intently, feeling the excitement and enjoyment, for some reason, it was obviously Park Chanyeol's rap stage, and this section was all his part, but the director suddenly gave the standing position
On the far right, a close-up of the face of Chi Jingyuan, who is accompanying the dancer.
Chi Jingyuan never thought that he would be photographed at this time. At this time, he was pouting slightly and breathing slowly. His black bangs were hanging on one side of his forehead. It may be because the ends of his hair were swaying slightly and it was itchy.
He felt a little uncomfortable, frowned slightly, and looked ahead intently.
"Ahhhh..."
It's a pity that this feature disappeared just as quickly as it came. It passed by in less than a second, and the fans' fanatical screams were cut away before they could bloom.
The camera returned to Park Chanyeol who was making expressions and singing rap. Although he looked very handsome...but some people suddenly felt that something was missing.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But fortunately, it’s Chi Jingyuan’s part again soon...
The entire choreography was high-energy and the back-and-forth moves and intersperses dazzled everyone watching on the stage. After the seven people slowed down and fell to the ground, causing a burst of exclamation like a movie in slow motion, amid the expectations of all the audience and fans
, just like the MV that I have seen before, Chi Jingyuan on the side stepped to the C position in the middle.
"I'm coming!"
"Cover your eyes, cover your eyes!"
"Gonna laugh! Gonna laugh!"
Before Chi Jingyuan could make any move, countless fans were already excited. Some female fans had even covered their mouths and eyes in advance, greedily looking at the screen through their fingers.
In less than three days, Chi Jingyuan's eye-covering part in the MV has become a new super killing scene. Fans have watched it over and over again. Today, the live version is finally available.
And just as they expected, Chi Jingyuan, who had reached the C position in one step, skillfully raised his hands and moved them around the sides of his cheeks to cover his eyes. The playfulness in his eyebrows and the smile with clenched teeth were more delicate than in the MV.
and just right, adding a vivid and real sexy charm.
"Ahhhhh!"
Amidst the uncontrollable cheers and the whole atmosphere getting high, the stage entered the most intense chorus part.
The chorus is marked by a wide range of jumping moves.
Amidst the fierce and exciting electronic music, the eight members of EXO in the camera exploded like fireworks one second and scattered around the stage. The next second everyone jumped into the air at the same time, performing a difficult back-to-back jump, and then
With a few small jumps, people didn't realize how they moved, and they all gathered together in an instant.
The connection and transformation between the breakup and the breakup are jaw-dropping. Although each member is of different heights and the height of their bodies is very different, there seems to be only one sound of the collision between the soles and the ground between jumping and landing, and the uniform movements are like
It is a sophisticated machine, and every jump and turning movement seems to have been strictly calculated. The changes in the formation are extremely enjoyable to watch.
Different from "LOTTO", in "Blood, Sweat and Tears" EXO has returned to their usual ultra-difficult choreography this year. The dance in the chorus is even better than that of "FIRE" and "Monster", just for
Make sure the landing time is consistent without looking messy, and they won't know how long they have been practicing.
Although we couldn't see the reaction of the fans in front of the TV at this time, it was obvious that the audience had been shocked by them. From the corner of Chi Jingyuan's peripheral vision, he could clearly see several people holding VIXX and HyunA's support signs in front of the stage.
The audience had their mouths wide open at this moment, looking at them in surprise, and their eyes shone with surprise and admiration.
It seems to be saying: Can he still be so handsome?
And, this is the stage...
In a dance music, whether the melody is catchy and whether the song is popular and addictive enough are of course very critical indicators, but the intention of the choreographer and the excitement of the stage are also crucial.
Whether the song is good or not can reflect the popularity of the song to a certain extent. A good enough song can spread widely, be heard by more people, and attract more people to follow you and know your name.
But these people like your songs, but they may not necessarily like you, and they may not necessarily spend money for you. They may just be passing fans after listening to it. The stage is the most important place to amplify the charm of idols. It is wonderful.
The stage is sometimes unreasonable. You can attract fans in an instant. Whether you can retain fans or even make them have a filter for you depends on this.
What EXO is doing so far is very successful. At least Chi Jingyuan, who is responsible for the main choreography, feels that the stage of the song "Blood, Sweat and Tears" can catch the passers-by who come here because of it.
Not only ordinary fans will be shocked by the choreography of this song, but even some idols in the industry will be surprised after seeing it, and then imagine what it would be like if they were to cover it.
For example, I used to like the choreography of several EXO songs, such as "Call Me Baby" and "Addicted". Hirai Momo, who often imitated and practiced at book signings and privately, was almost dancing to it at this time.
And if Blackpink has not debuted yet, it is estimated that Ji Kyung Won will be able to find Kim Ji Ni and Kim Ji Soo's "Blood, Sweat and Tears" cover video on YouTube in less than two days.
pity……
Amidst bursts of cheers and screams, after the second chorus ended, the stage of the song finally came to the end. In the neat formation, Chi Jingyuan, standing in the middle C position, led the team.
While slowly turning his body, he lifted up the hem of his suit and kept fanning it. His movements and the wantonness in his eyebrows made people forget to leave.
While arousing the enthusiasm of the fans, he shook his shoulders and took two consecutive steps back. His figure was instantly blocked by the member next to him and disappeared from sight.
In an instant, the eight members stood in an irregular row. The first few members performed their parts wonderfully in turn, clasping their necks and slowly descending from the camera and disappearing, revealing Chi Jingyuan and others behind them.
Chi Kyung-yuan reappeared in front of the camera. In the close-up, his eyes were covered by the hands of Oh Se-hun and Kim Jun-myeon behind him. The exposed half of his face had clear cheek lines and a very sharp jawline.
distinct.
He slowly stretched out his hand, his falsetto voice was like chanting, and seemed to be calling something:
"Please kill me gently."
"Cover my eyes with your hands."
Before the visual shock could be vented through the sound channel, the camera zoomed out quickly, and the members who had just disappeared reappeared in front of the camera one after another with drum beats.
"omo..."
This drama-like performance directly ignited the enthusiasm accumulated in the chests of fans and audiences. The screams one after another were uncontrollable. And it was not only EXO fans who were shouting, but other fans also forgot about their own fans.
Membership, joined in the cheers.
At the end of the stage was an intense group dance that repeated the chorus, with various jumps and moves interspersed. In the echelon formation, two members with long arms and legs, Ji Jingyuan and Wu Shixun, stood in the first row, plus
Baekhyun, who is very tasteful, led by three people, used this hearty group dance to give a wonderful conclusion to the first stage of "Blood, Sweat and Tears".
When the last note fell, everyone stopped the previous wave sharply, their thumbs brushed their lips or chin, the music was temporarily paused, and the picture was frozen.
