Peninsula Asteroid

"Take a rest, I can't do it anymore, I'm too tired."

As soon as the song ended, Park Chanyeol couldn't help but sit down on the ground, panting heavily and shaking his hands to indicate that he couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to take a rest.

The same was true for the surrounding members. They were almost at their limit. As soon as the song stopped, several of them lay down in a helter-skelter manner without being asked.

Chi Jingyuan also stretched out his legs and sat slumped aside, leaning against the wall and panting. Sweat kept flowing down his forehead like a stream. The sportswear suit he was wearing was already soaked with sweat. .

He once again experienced the exhausting hard work he felt when he first joined the company and prepared for his debut album.

After the meeting on the 20th, EXO officially started the production of their comeback album.

This time it was much harder than the debut mini album. Just learning and recording the twelve songs for the original album was a huge workload.

Fortunately, the people who have more singing parts are basically the lead singers in the group, and they are quite good at learning new songs and recording. If the dancers and frontmen were given a few more words, I would probably record two I can’t finish recording in a month.

The lyrics and dance parts of each song are divided by the company, and the weights are different according to their different responsibilities in the team.

Of course, there will definitely be more people supporting it.

In the title song "Wolf" of the original album, Chi Jingyuan's part is considered average and not outstanding.

Speaking of "Wolf", this song is the fundamental reason why EXO is so tired recently.

The title song is a standard dance song, but if you listen to it with your ears, you may think the song is ordinary, and the melody and rhythm may even feel strange.

Only with dancing can you appreciate its charm. It is a song that will only shine on the stage.

Therefore, this song has very high requirements for dance. The company specially hired a dedicated choreographer, American dance genius Tony Testa, to be responsible for the choreography.

Tony Testa became famous at a young age, and he is not very young now, but he is indeed very talented in dancing. He has collaborated with SM Company many times. He has done the choreography for several of SHINee's title songs, including last year's hit, which made many People expressed their admiration for the choreography of "Sherlock".

The choreography he finally completed is indeed very interesting. The dance movements of "Wolf" look very memorable, especially the 'Tree of Life' shape of the twelve people in the opening scene.

This choreography not only conforms to EXO's group concept, but the styling is also very unique.

The members use their bodies and arms to form the trunk and branches of a tree. The whole tree will also sway and rhythm with the melody, which is very eye-catching. The actual dance effect is unforgettable and can be called a classic. It can be regarded as the stage effect of the main song. It adds a lot of color.

This idea is really great, and Chi Jingyuan and the members all appreciate it from the bottom of their hearts.

In addition to the opening, the other dance moves are also very good, and they reflect the style of the song "Wolf" very well.

But the biggest problem with this dance is that it is too difficult.

Not only is it difficult, the dance is also very intense, the movements require a lot of strength, and it is very tiring to dance.

Such a difficult dance naturally takes a lot of time to memorize and practice, and it is a great challenge to each member's basic skills and physical strength.

Even the main dancer Kim Jong-in, the man who claims to be able to learn a dance with just a few glances, has been extremely tired these days. He is the only corpse lying motionless on the ground.

What's even worse is that it's such a difficult and tiring dance, and they have to learn and practice more than just one version. They will dance a total of 4 versions of "Wolf".

There are two versions, the Korean version and the Xia version. Each person's dance part is completely different. It is easy to get your own movements confused. Both require a lot of practice.

In addition, there are separate versions of Team K and Team M, which are also different sets of parts.

Chi Jingyuan felt terrible just talking about it.

Chi Jingyuan has not been able to return to the dormitory after practicing these days. He has to work overtime with several choreographers to choreograph the song "Roar", and often works until late at night before going back to rest.

The choreography of "Roar" is also mainly to reflect the handsomeness and charm of the members. It is not difficult to choreograph. In order to fit the title of the song, the dance movements in the chorus directly imitate the movements of the orangutan, which is very unique.

Although it is not difficult, the dance is very memorable, and the melody is really cool. When the group dances together, the effect is very good. Chi Jingyuan's evaluation is that it is quite magical and amazing.

Under the guidance of Chi Jingyuan, the choreography is progressing very quickly. It is estimated that it will be almost completed in the next two days. He can still handle the task and can relax a little later.

It is worth mentioning that Chi Jingyuan declined the company's request for him to write the lyrics for "Roar" in a romantic way. He felt that his skills were not up to the level of writing lyrics for "Roar".

The company didn't say anything and gave the task to Xia Guo, a lyricist he had worked with before.

I haven't started practicing "Roar" yet, but the practice of "Wolf" really makes my legs tremble when I hear the name.

"Okay, let's rest for a while. Time is tight. Let's continue. Let's do it again."

After resting for a while, the dance teacher who was in charge of teaching and supervising stood up clapping his hands and beckoning the members to continue training: "Put the tree of life again, this opening is one of the biggest highlights of the song "Wolf". I always feel something weird when you dance.”

"Inside." The members responded, got up from the ground after taking a drastic drink, walked quickly to the middle of the practice room and stood in a row.

In the choreography of the tree of life, in the vertical queue of twelve people, Chi Jingyuan stands behind Wu Shixun, the second in line, and behind him is Luhan.

His movement is that his left hand and Luhan's left hand are pulling each other, relying on this force to lie on his back to the right, with his head lowered, while his right hand is bent and stretched out to form a branch.

He is the only one who shows his face in this choreography. It is said that he was asked to do this action because the choreographer thought that Chi Jingyuan was the best-looking, and showing his face can attract people...

Chi Jingyuan and Luhan looked at each other, and they stretched out their hands and pulled them together. At the same time, they leaned to the side, flexed and stretched their right hands, and soon a tree of life was born in the practice room.

"Zhong Ren, open your hand a little, and overlap with the people behind."

"Also Baekhyun stretches out his hands at different angles, so keep both sides in the same position..."

"Jing Yuan, you and Luhan should have the same height. The two of you should communicate well, and the height should be symmetrical and not too different, otherwise it will look awkward."

The teacher looked at the mirror and kept pointing out the mistakes, and the people whose names were called also corrected them.

It's just that Chi Jingyuan clearly felt that his right hand, which had been stretched out to act as a branch, had begun to tremble a little.

Because he is taller, he has to keep his head down and his legs bent.

And it was really tiring to keep stretching out his hands out of thin air, he felt a little unable to hold Luhan...
