"Then on September 10th, we will work with EXO to give the best performance."
"Unlimited challenge!"
After all EXO members and Yoo Jae Suk posed in front of the camera and shouted slogans, the long practice session in the first half of the show ended. Everyone got ready and boarded a plane to Bangkok, Thailand, the destination of the performance.
This time, the participation of other MCs in "Infinite Challenge Lord of the Dance Special" was very low. Except for everyone's appearance in the middle testing session, the only people who came to Bangkok this time were the protagonist Yoo Jae Suk and Jung Jun Ha, who guest-starred as his manager.
Coincidentally, Ji Jingyuan's participation in EXO was not very high, because he was often absent during the filming of the special because of the crew's affairs. Although a few single practice scenes were shot again, a lot of them were edited by the PD.
, after all, he can’t always go abroad alone.
Except for a few practice scenes in the early stage, I couldn't find him. It wasn't until the second half of the show, when EXO came to Bangkok to prepare for a concert, that there were obviously more shots of Chi Jingyuan.
Although it was a rehearsal, Chi Jingyuan did it very seriously. He had a little time to practice the dance of this song, and his proficiency has not reached the level of secret muscle memory. There is a possibility of making mistakes after going on stage.
"well done!"
Yoo Jae Suk was rehearsing on stage with the EXO 8 members. After the stage ended, the manager Jung Jun Ha who was watching applauded vigorously and cheered him loudly.
"What's so good..." Unfortunately, Liu Zaishi didn't appreciate it. Instead, he frowned and looked like he had a headache.
He was speechless at the temporary manager's lack of expression. During the rehearsal just now, he made several mistakes in his movements and positioning, and he himself couldn't stand it.
It was fine when he was backstage, but as the concert gradually approached, he felt less calm after standing on the stage. His years of MC experience seemed to have no effect at this time, and he became anxious.
After that, we rehearsed several times in succession, but various problems arose and the atmosphere at the scene became a bit depressing.
And EXO is not just a stage for "dancing king". All the songs in a normal concert are rehearsed, and there is no time to grind on this song all the time. After rehearsing twice, there is not much improvement, so in desperation, I just
You can skip it temporarily and start rehearsing other processes.
Liu Jae Suk, on the other hand, walked to a remote side and looked at EXO on the stage in front of him, frowning anxiously.
It is difficult for others to help with matters like mentality.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, all fans and spectators began to enter.
The tension on Yoo Jae Suk's side still hadn't eased. He was sweating profusely even as he stood motionless. His control and comedy, which he was best at in the past, began to look unnatural. It was really hard to look at him.
have faith in him,
Although it is a variety show and recorded, EXO's concert is a real live performance, and the Kpop market in Thailand and Southeast Asia is huge. Both XO and Yoo Jae Suk have many fans. XO and Yoo Jae Suk's cooperation news
It has been circulated for a long time, and many of the audience today actually came for the special stage of "Dancing King".
Once a mistake is made, the consequences will be really serious. No one else can help him in this kind of dance performance. And judging from the state of the rehearsal just now, it seems that making a mistake is still a high probability event. At this time, the members of EXO also began to organize their thoughts and prepare to appear.
Under all kinds of tension and worry, the atmosphere backstage began to become a little depressing.
Before finally going on stage, Chi Jingyuan looked at Liu Zaishi, who was restless next to him, and took the initiative to calm down:
"It's normal to be a little nervous when you step on stage for the first time. When we debuted and had our first showcase, I was shaking nervously backstage. When I went up to perform, my whole mind was empty... Even now I'm a little nervous."
Liu Zaishi breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and asked curiously: "Jingyuan, you have held so many concerts, do you still feel nervous?"
"I wasn't nervous at first..." Chi Jingyuan shrugged, looking a little relaxed: "But because I am with my brother."
"Is this so...hahaha."
Liu Zaishi laughed awkwardly. His face wrinkled up like a grasshopper, which was really ugly...but it was much more pleasing to the eye than when he was tense just now.
"Brother, let me tell you a stage trick..."
"What's the trick? Tell me quickly!" Liu Zaishi's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this.
"Mistakes like this often happen during stage performances... If you make a mistake during a performance, for example, there is a problem with your positioning, or you forget your movements, your expression must not show timidity, act more seriously, and be more confident.
"
Chi Jingyuan glanced at the VJ holding a camera next to him, leaned over and whispered his own experience: "The more handsome you are, the more the audience may think that the stage is originally arranged this way."
"qingjia? Is it really possible?"
Of course Yoo Jae Suk knew that Chi Kyung Won was joking, but he still looked like he had received a life-saving straw in front of the camera, and even asked with a serious expression: "How do you like this expression?"
"Be a little more natural, and if possible, do a wink. This will have a better effect, and it won't be seen as a mistake at all..."
Under the camera, Chi Kyung-won and Yoo Jae-seok were making jokes and joking, but the surrounding atmosphere seemed a lot more relaxed.
Seeing this, the other members nearby also came over and began to comfort Liu Zaishi, who was on stage for the first time. In order to relieve his nervousness, they began to impart their experience one by one:
"The floor of the stage will be slippery, even slipperier than the practice room, so be careful."
"The cheers of the fans are so loud that you often can't hear them, so in order to prevent this problem, I need to count the beats myself..."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "You can basically only see the fluorescent sticks on the stage, but you can't see the faces of the audience, so don't be burdened, just relax..."
Chi Jingyuan was listening next to him with a strange expression. He was just making nonsense and joking, but you guys are actually imparting experience.
It felt like it was a good thing they didn't say anything, but talking so much made the atmosphere even more boring... Although Yoo Jae Suk looked like he was listening attentively and learning from his experience, his face became obviously serious.
But there was no time to say more. Soon the concert officially started. EXO members and Yoo Jae Suk said goodbye and took the lead on the stage to start their own performance. The "Infinite Challenge" program team also shot this part very well.
, the cheers were like muffled thunder, and the screams came one after another. Combined with the dark and crowded venue, the enthusiasm of Thai fans was vividly displayed.
And Yoo Jae Suk and the "Infinite Challenge" program crew were watching from the backstage, grandly waiting for this upcoming stage that must not go wrong.
Taking advantage of this little time, he practiced alone in the open space backstage until the end. He was alone under the dark luminous lamps, dancing that part of the dance in a funny way. His movements were still a little stiff, but it looked amazing.
I can't even laugh.
At this time, his monologue during the interview was also embedded in the background sound:
"Through this month of cooperation and practice, I learned that the profession of idol and the stage are really not that simple. They require full concentration, a lot of effort, and a lot of sweat..."
"I want to complete this performance with EXO, but I have always been worried about 'what if I can't do it'."
"I want people to see the stage and think, 'Oh, they really worked hard.'"
"XO is really good, I don't want to hold them back."
"come on!"
No matter how nervous you are, you still have to go on stage. Soon it's time for "Dancing King". Amid the screams of fans all over the sky, the central control keeps flashing like rainbow stars. Under the silver light stick, Yoo Jae Suk and the eight members of EXO
Take the elevator and appear on the stage.
After a month of hard preparation, I finally wanted to see how it turned out.
"Ahhhh..."
Seeing EXO changing their clothes and appearing on the stage, and seeing a middle-aged man wearing glasses and wearing hip-hop suddenly added to the team, all the audience in the audience immediately screamed, and they suddenly burst into laughter.
The sound even directly covered up the background sounds that were ringing at the same time.
This cross-border collaboration has long been talked about by fans here. As soon as the music of "dancing king" sounded, tonight's concert immediately entered the most blood-swelling climax.
"Hey hey hey hey~"
"Hey hey hey hey~"
"With the fiery rhythm, my heart is beating fast."
"At this moment, my heart is on fire."
The smart dance is accompanied by dynamic music, and the very charming "Lord of the Dance" overflows with its unique enthusiasm in front of Thai fans.
Staggered movements, beating rhythm, sweating, and awakening instincts.
The iconic shoulder shaking and moving, powerful blows and hand shakes, quick and fragmented position changes, uniform and passionate group dance, every movement is so freehand, and every move can arouse a sincere feeling.
Cheering and screaming.,
Yoo Jae-seok, who was so nervous that he almost breathed his last before going on stage, was brave enough at this time. Despite the sweat on his head and trembling limbs, he forgot all the tension and anxiety and devoted himself to the performance on stage.
Many people even think that if they don't look carefully, they really feel that there are nine professional idols performing on the stage at this time, and everything seems very natural.
...It can be said that this is the highest praise for Yoo Jae Suk and this stage.
Chi Jingyuan didn't get many parts in this song, but he was still the first choice to lead the dance in Kai's absence. He had much less practice time than others, and he didn't steal the limelight at this time.
It means that he should finish his few parts honestly and simply act as his lead dancer.
And although this song is not difficult to choreograph, it is really enjoyable to dance, and the rhythm is very addictive. Coupled with the special atmosphere at this time and the excited audience, even he is a little excited.
Invested in it.
"A-ya-ya~"
"Tonight with me.
“Dance all night”
"Hey hey~"
"Hey hey~"
There were no errors or mistakes in the whole process. The dynamic dance infected all the audience. Even the staff of "Infinite Challenge" cheered along. With the fierce dance in the last section, the nine people on the stage
Each performed a handsome pose, and the final stage ended with a fiery enthusiasm.
Jin Zhicheng saw this perfect stage performance at the end, saw the nine people posing in handsome ENDING POSE under the gorgeous lights and received cheers from the audience, and watched them hug each other heartlessly after the performance. He just felt...
I felt a sense of relief and elation welling up in my heart. All the emotions in this hour-long program were released in this moment.
There is nothing more gratifying than working hard and getting good results... This time when Kim Jicheng watched "The King of Dance Special", it didn't feel like an ordinary comedy variety show. The funny parts were really average, and
The portion is not large, on the contrary, there are more inspirational parts.
After the last part of the exciting interaction after the concert, the whole special ended here. After watching the last part, Jin Zhicheng felt agitated in his heart, and he always felt that there was something unfinished.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! He is still very satisfied with this special issue. He feels that a major cross-border collaboration that has been hyped for such a long time does not disappoint. It is such a weighty collaboration.
Object, the final effect should be so energetic and memorable.
Moreover, this program has also changed his prejudice against the profession of idol. Especially his impression of EXO, a boy group whose name he has heard before, is much better.
Jin Zhicheng thought about it and decided to make an exception this time as he rarely posts comments online. He would leave a message in the comment area and send some positive comments to show his encouragement and affirmation to the program team.
He logged on to the website a little awkwardly. He just wanted to leave a message of praise in the comment area, but when he glanced at it, his hand movements stopped.
At this time, I saw that the entire comment area of "Infinite Challenge" had already been dominated by countless Ai Li's speeches. All kinds of praise, Amway, bragging, and rainbow fart messages abounded. Apparently, they had just finished watching "Infinite Challenge"
The audience and fans of "The King of Dance Special". Jin Zhicheng is the most sincere in his heart, speaks to the greatest extent, and the praise and affirmation of the most favorable comments are not even one-tenth of any of them.
Jin Zhicheng looked at these dazzling array of colorful rainbow farts, but he did not feel dissatisfied as before. He just smiled suddenly, shook his head, found the most awesome comment, and gave it a like.
…………
"Did you watch "Infinite Challenge" yesterday..."
In the JYP Building in Gangnam District, Lin Nayeon walked into Twice's practice room early in the morning, breathing heavily. She hadn't even closed her mouth yet. She remembered something and asked Yu Jeongyeon behind her.
"I didn't watch it, what's wrong...you watched it?"
Yu Dingyan's eyes were a bit strange. She clearly remembered that this sister was a fan of TV dramas, and especially liked bloody romance movies... She usually didn't like to watch such variety shows.
"Yesterday's episode was a special episode of the collaboration between Yoo Jae Suk and EXO. Did you forget that they were so quarreling before?" Lin Nayeon explained to her seriously, but she felt that Yu Jeongyeon's eyes were a little strange, so she complained awkwardly: "
Why are you looking at me like that?"
"No……"
Yu Dingyan, who understood instantly, withdrew his eyes, smiled and hugged Lin Nalian's arm: "Of course I have heard of this cooperation. How could I not know about this kind of cooperation? I just didn't have time to watch it yesterday. I will go back and make up for it today...
So, is this special episode good to watch?"
"It's okay..." Lin Nalian glanced at her with a pout, and puffed her cheeks in a high manner: "The backstage of the concert and the final stage are not bad... I think the rest are quite boring."
"Have you listened to their collaboration? Does it sound good?"
"I think that's it...but the results are quite good."
"How nice?"
"After it was announced yesterday, it immediately broke the charts and is still ranked first..."
"The sound source is so good?... It's just the collaboration between Yoo Jae Suk and Oppa Kyung Won, so it's normal for the results to be good."
"Obviously it's pretty average... I don't know why so many people are listening to it. I feel like it's just because of the singer's popularity..."
"what are you guys saying……"
When these two people were chatting about yesterday's "Lord of the Dance Special", other members also walked into the practice room one after another. Seeing the lively two people, Park Jihyo and others immediately came together and started chatting together.
Najing Minami sat nearby and did not interrupt, but her attention did not move away. When she heard the members discussing yesterday's "Infinite Challenge Special", she felt some unknown pleasure... She still had Chi Jing on her phone.
Here are the photos Yuan sent after his concert in Bangkok.
Thinking of this, she glanced at Zhou Ziyu aside without revealing any trace. The big maknae also participated in the discussion with a smile, and looked nothing strange.
Before they could lively for a while, their manager Jin Shangmin walked in and clapped his hands: "Come to the conference room, the meeting is about to begin..."
"...the preparations for the album are the focus these days. The date for the MV shooting has been determined on the 12th of next month. The other schedules have been notified before and I won't go into details..."
Soon everyone gathered in the small conference room. Jin Shangmin held a notepad in his hand, glanced at the nine girls sitting in a circle around the table, and said quickly: "What I want to talk about today is
Other things... the company has received two invitations to invite individual members to cooperate."
"Invitation?"
"Who?"
As soon as he said this, he immediately attracted the attention of all the members. Several people looked at each other curiously, and then looked at Jin Sangmin.
For Twice, a female idol of a girl group who debuted less than a year ago, collaborating with other artists on songs is still a very new thing.
"First of all, the first one, but this is not a song collaboration, but a MV shooting..."
With that said, Jin Shangmin looked at Tao Hirai who was sitting beside him: "MOMO."
"Indeed." Hirai Momo raised her head and responded in a crisp voice, not looking too surprised.
"SJ's Kim Heechul and Min Kyung-hoon collaborated on SM's "Subway Project" song "Sweet Dream", inviting you to participate in the shooting of the MV and serve as the heroine. Also participating in the shooting are all the MC members of "Knowing Brothers"..."
After introducing the cooperation invitation, Jin Sangmin looked at Hirai Momo: "It is a good gimmick that all the MC members of "Knowing Brothers" will participate in it. The company has already accepted it..."
Just as he was talking, he saw Hirai Momo's expression and suddenly frowned: "Did you know this before?"
"Forehead……"
After hesitating for a moment, Hirai Momo secretly glanced at her manager's expression and nodded: "Heechul... Oppa Heechul mentioned it to me before..."
"..."
Jin Shangmin paused after hearing this, then put down the notebook in his hand, and looked at Hirai Momo with a seductive look: "It's your own business to have your own connections, but MOMO, I want to remind you, love is absolutely not allowed at this time.
Yes, no scandals are allowed to spread, I won’t say more about who Kim Heechul is, you have all heard of it yourself."
"This time it's just an ordinary cooperation...you have to keep your distance, do you understand?"
Although the tone was not intense, the manager's long-term majesty was still very oppressive. Hirai Momo, who was the first to bear the brunt, seemed to want to explain something, but at this time, she could only shrink her neck and nodded.
At the same time, after hearing what Jin Sangmin said, Mingjing Nan on the side pursed his lips unnaturally.
Zhou Ziyu, on the other hand, looked dull, as if he was not talking about himself, just like a person who had nothing to do.
"Then there was another invitation. By coincidence..."
After Hirai Momo finished speaking, Jin Sangmin picked up the notepad and his tone suddenly became more relaxed: "This one is also a subway song invitation from SM, but this time it is a serious song collaboration, and the inviter is an acquaintance of ours...
