Chapter 352 Light up me

The cheers gradually died down and only sporadic shouts could be heard. The entire venue fell into darkness, and the cheering sticks that were constantly waving were particularly dazzling.

In the darkness, the sub-stage suddenly lit up, and several beams of light flowed and turned, quickly forming a huge nine-square grid projection on the curtain, with EXO's iconic 'maze' logo for this year's second mini-album in the center.

Seeing this logo, the screams that had just gone down immediately resurfaced. Along with the exciting BGM, Kai's figure appeared in the nine-square grid and performed a fierce solo dance.

Immediately after his figure disappeared, the figures of other members also appeared one after another, and the images on the curtain also kept changing during the accompaniment and performance. The elaborate computer special effects were dazzling at this time, making people feel as if

Immerse yourself in a fantasy world that is out of control.

Countless audiences were dazzled by the extremely novel stage effect. Before they could get enough of it, the entire stage lights suddenly turned on. The figures of the nine members appeared in three rows at the same time in the nine palaces. Against the light, they could not see.

The faces were clear, but each one looked so dazzling. The huge maze logo at the back appeared again, and an uncontrollable scream sounded.

The lights went out amid the cheers, and after a few seconds of eerie silence, a familiar prelude suddenly sounded.

"dies and gentlemen."

"If you're ready, let's scream together!"

A beam of lighting shot out from the ceiling, accurately illuminating Chi Jingyuan who had opened the curtain and walked to the stage. He raised an eyebrow at the camera in the hands of the VJ who was filming in front of him and at the same time stretched out his hand to hook up.

He made an inviting gesture, and the big screen directly showed a close-up of the scene in real time.

Seeing Chi Jingyuan appearing on the big screen, as if he was responding to his lyrics, the screams in the entire scene went up to a new level, and the whole place was instantly boiling. Even many people in front of the TV

They all felt very happy.

The familiar but unfamiliar "dope" finally reappeared in front of the audience after a long time.

I am familiar with it because this song is the prelude to EXO’s second mini-album this year. It has been loved by many people since it was released. The strong rhythmic verse, the impressive cosplay costumes in the MV and the unique choreography make me

"Dope" has a lot of fans. The number of MV views on YouTube has climbed to more than 80 million. It only took more than half a year to surpass "Roar" released last year and become EXO's most clicked song at the moment.

The song MV with the highest sales volume is only one step away from breaking 100 million views, which is extremely difficult for idols in the current Peninsula.

And many of the clicks came from overseas, Europe and the United States. Many people there seemed to like the style, costumes and choreography of "dopo". Many European and American viewers also took the initiative to shoot cover videos and post them on YouTube, allowing EXO to

The popularity there has increased a lot.

At the same time, Chi Jingyuan's candid shooting of singing songs in a police officer costume also opened the era of candid shooting in the peninsula music industry. With more than 30 million clicks, it ranks first among all candid shots of peninsula idols and is popular among peninsula fans.

He is extremely well-known. Basically, when it comes to direct shooting, he is the one. Even among fans of all groups, there are very few people who have not seen his direct shooting. Even the non-main song "Dope" is constantly being watched.

was widely disseminated.

The unfamiliarity is because there have been very few stage performances of this song since the day it was released. It is obviously very popular and fans like to watch it, but SM has never arranged for XO to perform this song. Until now, the most famous

There was only one stage on the stage, so people who liked this song had no chance to see the stage. Many fans were disappointed and cursed SM at the same time.

Don't put "Addiction" off every day, we want to watch "Dope"!

The performance of this song this time was proactively proposed by the organizer because of its popularity and gimmicks.

Today, on MAMA, a stage with such a wide audience, "dope", which has been away from the audience for a long time, reappears in front of the audience, which really makes many people feel an inexplicable surprise.

"Yeah, unlike the other guys, I do it my way."

"In my own unique style, ayo."

Different from the extremely popular police uniforms, today's Chi Kyung-won and all members of EXO did not repeat the most distinctive cosplay of this song. Although the inner linings are different, the outer ones are all pure black suits. They look both

Serious and ascetic, it shows another strange and wonderful style.

After finishing the opening scene, Chi Jingyuan turned aside and let the camera focus on the next member, and the stage officially began.

After the three people quit the group, Team M no longer had any meaning to exist. The original choreography of two teams of six people each had now lost its effect. After the choreographer and Chi Jingyuan worked overtime, they re-choreographed a set of nine

A human version of the dance is used to perform.

But overall, the difference from the previous 6-person version is not very big. When dancing in a group, add one at the end, and add one dance position symmetrically on the left and right sides. However, the parts need to be redistributed, and it cannot be said that the M team can be combined.

The three members who came over didn't say a word.

"Girls, scream louder, scream, it will be awesome!"

"While I was working all night, you were playing in the nightclub."

"We're different from those other guys."

The ceiling lights were bright, and the colorful lights imbued the stage with the atmosphere of a nightclub. Nine people stood on the stage in a neat formation and danced together. Chi Jingyuan, who was standing in the C position, was dancing fiercely with the buttons of his suit.

The sweater was unbuttoned to reveal the inner lining, and there was still obvious sweat on his forehead despite the December temperature.

The reaction of the audience below was also extremely intense. The screams were continuous and almost never stopped. Whenever a close-up of any member appeared on the big screen, they would cheer loudly and in unison. The atmosphere of the entire award ceremony seemed to be pushed down.

Toward the highest peak.

"say what?"

"say wo wo."

"say what?"

Accompanied by the distinctive saxophone accompaniment, the stage of "dope" came to an end. Nine people jumped and gathered in the center of the stage. They didn't even need to sing the last lyrics themselves. The whole audience had already shouted out excitedly:

"Absolutely, absolutely, absolutely, absolutely!"

The cheers in unison ignited the passion in the hearts of every member on the stage. They posed in Ending poses with excited smiles. Several people in the camera were sweating profusely and breathing lightly.

This feeling of full support is really great.

While the audience below was still jubilant, the lights on the ceiling began to dim. Upon seeing this signal, the nine EXO members immediately hunched over and ran towards the backstage.

As soon as they left, a dancer in gymnastics-like clothes walked onto the stage with a long red satin and began to perform a graceful solo dance to buy time for EXO's transition.

As soon as Chi Jingyuan and the others entered the backstage, they were surrounded by assistants who had been staying here for a long time. Each member had one or two assistants or cody beside them to help change clothes.

"Don't worry, just wipe off the sweat."

While walking quickly in the direction of the elevator, he took off his black suit to reveal the light-colored turtleneck sweater underneath. This is also the costume for the next "Let It Be" stage performance. At the same time, Cody's sister followed closely with a tissue.

Beside him, he helped wipe the sweat from his forehead.

"Hurry up and get on the elevator, Bari Bari! It's almost time."

The field attendant there waved to them anxiously, looking at his watch from time to time, and wearing a headset to listen to the Chief PD's explanation inside.

In the last twenty or thirty seconds, they checked each other's makeup and clothes. After all the members were ready to continue, they stood on the elevator in the same position and order as in the rehearsal. Chi Jingyuan was the first one, and he held the hand tightly.

Microphone, took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. At the same time, the elevator started to operate and slowly ascended towards the stage.

…………

"The next one is Jingyuan's new song for their winter single, "Let It Be", right? Speaking of which, the title of the song is really... quite interesting."

After just watching the "dope" stage and savoring the aftertaste, Jiang Seulgi felt that the current dance performance was a bit boring, so she raised her head and asked.

She and Sun Shengwan, who also raised their heads, looked at each other. The two of them laughed as soon as they looked at each other. They both knew what the other was thinking. They raised their hands in unison to imitate the shooting posture of Chi Jingyuan that they had just seen.

He fired a shot at the other party, making an exaggerated mouth gesture of "absolutely amazing", and then laughed happily together.

They just went to practice after watching EXO receive the first award. However, several people were very interested in the special stage of EXO's new song, so they went into the break to watch EXO's performance. After watching

After the "dope" stage, I immediately felt my body getting hot and excited, and I wished I could jump up and dance with them.

Bae Zhuhyun was sitting cross-legged on the wooden floor, holding her phone and looking at it carefully. The headphone cable of the earphones hung down from the side of her chin, and was wrapped around her waist several times. It was trembling with her breathing, and there was also a

Holding a half-drank bottle of mineral water.

There were still sweat stains on her forehead from the practice just now, and her breathing was a bit loud before it calmed down, but it didn't seem to affect her. Pei Zhuhyun kept staring at the live broadcast on the screen, not participating at all with Jiang next to her.

Seulgi and Son Seungwan’s antics.

Although the stage of "Dope" was so exciting that she felt a little restless, and the performances of Ji Kyung-won and EXO were also so dazzling that people couldn't help but admire them. However, Bae Joo-hyun's biggest expectation is EXO's new winter song, "

Let nature take its course.

But she always remembered what Chi Jingyuan said at that time, 'You will know it after you hear it.'

Originally, Bae Zhuhyun wanted to ask carefully in advance because she was interested, but because of the other party's abhorrent behavior of deliberately showing off, she gave up the idea.

However, the curiosity that was aroused became stronger and stronger, and as I thought about it carefully, I also had some inexplicable sense of expectation.

Finally, the special stage of MAMA arrived today.

She can take a look at who the person who wrote lyrics with Chi Jingyuan is.

…

The female dancer dancing with colored silk left the stage, the lights in the entire venue dimmed again, and the scene fell into a chaotic discussion.

At this time, dots of silver-white light points suddenly appeared in the sky above the sub-stage. More and more light points slowly fell down at the same time, forming a gorgeous and dazzling starry sky in mid-air, which continued to fall until the entire sky was covered.

The sub-stage is completely enclosed.

The silvery-white light was extremely dazzling in the darkness, and people's attention was immediately focused on it. After looking at it for a long time, I realized that it turned out to be hundreds of chains hanging small snowflake-shaped lanterns hanging from the ceiling.

, there are so many small colored lights that it is impossible to count, shining with a cold silvery white light.

This light is EXO's official support color, symbolizing the shining stars, but it is also like cold snowflakes, seeming to lower the temperature of the entire stage.

Being in it feels like flying in the starry sky or walking in the snow. Every time the lights flash, it can trigger the audience's endless reverie.
