Peninsula Asteroid

The three members in front of MissA walked very fast. After seeing Chi Jingyuan and the others standing up to say hello, they smiled back at Chi Jingyuan and nodded to the three of red velvet. Just stopped and left.

After waiting for a few seconds, Pei Xiuzhi, who followed behind and obviously kept a distance, arrived late.

"Senior, Aniha Sai..."

Pei Zhuxuan's eyes lingered on Pei Xiuzhi's face for a second, his pupils were dark but his expression remained unchanged, and he saluted politely and said hello.

Pei Xiuzhi laughed when he saw Chi Jingyuan and the others, stopped and glanced at the faces of the three of Red Velvet, finally locked on Pei Zhuxuan's face and nodded in return, then just raised his hand and waved Even Chi Jingyuan, who had greeted him, seemed very interested, and asked with a smile, "It's so lively, what are we talking about?"

Although Bae Suzy was the same age as them in 1994, she is considered a senior since she debuted with MissA for 10 years. Jiang Seulqi and the others were obviously unfamiliar with her and seemed a little embarrassed. Chi Jingyuan glanced at her and waved her hand. He motioned for a few people to sit down, and then pointed to Jiang Seqi who hesitated to sit back in their seats: "Just chat with relatives, did you go to record the comeback interview just now?"

"Dear relatives?" Pei Xiuzhi nodded as a reply, and after hearing Chi Jingyuan's words, she glanced at the people, as if a little surprised, she pointed to them and asked, "This is red velvet, right?"

Her expression was as if she didn't know who these girls were just now, and only recognized Pei Zhuxuan after knowing that they were relatives of Chi Jingyuan.

But it's normal. There are so many girl groups that debut or disappear every day in the music industry. Even if they have worked together before, they may not have much impression. It's just that Chi Jingyuan felt that her expression seemed a little deliberate.

It is actually an honor to be recognized by the senior, Jiang Seulqi and the two nodded repeatedly, Pei Xiuzhi looked around with a smile, and finally his eyes stayed on Pei Zhuxuan's face, as if thinking of something, After looking at it a few times, he showed an admiring expression: "I remember you are the captain Irene xi, you are really beautiful, and you are pleasing to look at."

"Kang Sang Mita." It seemed that he didn't hear the condescending comments in the other party's tone, which was obviously senior, and he didn't care that the other party had finished the exquisite shape while he only put on light makeup. Pei Zhuxuan showed a bright smile on his face. , stood up and bowed lightly to express his thanks.

At the same time, there was a look of being happy and a little surprised after hearing the compliment. Although his tone was soft, he didn't mean to deny it. Instead, he felt that he was doing his part, and he directly accepted the other party's compliment. She blinked her eyes, shook her head while talking, and at the same time reached out to stroke the hair on the right temple, revealing her small cochlea.

A series of movements were natural and smooth. Although the etiquette was in place, it felt a little strange.

Seeing the other party's reaction and expression, Pei Xiuzhi seemed a little surprised. After a very short pause, he glanced at Chi Jingyuan and laughed. He didn't stay too long after that, and also praised Jiang Seqi and Sun Shengwan. After that, he waved his hand and shook his hair and left.

When Pei Xiuzhi's figure disappeared from his eyes, Chi Jingyuan felt a gaze looking at her from the side, and turned his head to look at it. It was Pei Zhuxuan whose smile had been restrained a lot at this time.

Pei Zhuxuan and Chi Jingyuan looked at each other, their smiles faded a lot and their lips curled slightly, then they turned their heads and looked aside.

"Jingyuan, are you familiar with senior Xiuzhi?"

I don't know if she noticed the subtle atmosphere just now, Jiang Seulqi asked curiously after Pei Xiuzhi walked away.

"Well, we worked together..."

Chi Jingyuan nodded and answered a few times perfunctorily, as if he felt some dissatisfaction from the sister sitting next to him.

Although during the last birthday, Pei Zhuxuan still smiled after knowing the vague relationship between the two, and said quite seriously that Chi Jingyuan would have a chance to introduce Pei Xiuzhi to her in the future, as if she wanted to make friends and be a good friend The look of sisters.

But Chi Jingyuan is not an idiot, even if he says yes, of course he won't do it in reality.

According to his understanding, what Pei Zhuxuan said in that mood can be reversed.

However, the two of them are not in a relationship now. Although their emotions may fluctuate a little, they don't care so much about it and dig into the horns.

After chatting for a few more words, red velvet needed to do styling, and Chi Jingyuan was also called away by his assistant. The stage background has been set up and the pre-recording of the first stage is ready.

Today "M! On the first stage of countdown, there were two performances of songs, "EL DORADO (El Dorado)" and "Spring Day", all of which were also pre-recorded.

"El Dorado" is a dance song with some exotic styles in its keynote, highlighting a strong melody. Although it is only included in the song and no MV has been shot, to be honest, from Chi Jingyuan's point of view, this is an average song. A high-quality song that is not inferior to the quality of the title songs of some boy groups.

Because there is no MV and no choreography, after the announcement of the sound source, it caused a lot of discussion among the audience. Some fans liked the style and melody after listening to the passionate music, and left messages saying that they are looking forward to the live stage of this song. It also caused heated discussions at one time.

The reason for arranging such a song as the included song of "X" is also the idea of ​​neutralizing the lyrical style of "Spring Day".

The stage set of "El Dorado" is not complicated, mainly the background display screen and lighting to enhance the atmosphere, and there is no difficulty in recording.

"Spring Day" is different, because of the emphasis on the title song, the company not only did a complete choreography for such a lyric song, but also designed a lot of camera language and atmosphere embellishments for this first stage.

A total of two sets were built for this performance, one was pre-built, a waiting station-style room very similar to that in the MV, and the other was a formal stage. Record once, and then through editing and guidance, constantly switch scenes to create a more interesting lens language.

It's a bit similar to last year's "Dope" and last month's "Call Me Baby". They used transitions and shots to make the performance more lively and vivid, making the originally rigid stage more attractive.

This kind of stage presentation is rare in the entire music industry, not to mention those small companies, even large entertainment clubs are not easy to achieve this effect, that is, EXO has always attached great importance to the language of the stage.

From "Wolf" turning off the lights to see the tree of life, to "Roar" where the two teams switched to the end, and now to "Spring Day", it can only be said that SM has really mastered this thing.

"We rehearsed a few times first to find out the status, and then we will officially record after there are no mistakes. Then we will be more serious. The number of colored paper prepared by the company is limited."

"knew."

Faced with PD's instructions, EXO members nodded and responded, and lightly pressed against the darkness below. The fans who had entered the venue before dawn and waited to watch their pre-recording waved, and the rehearsal began.

For the sake of effect, when the stage of "Spring Day" enters the chorus part, pink colored paper will continuously fall from the ceiling, covering the entire stage like scattered cherry blossoms.

In order not to waste, it is best to succeed once.

Fortunately, although EXO has relaxed a lot because of the excellent results of their comeback, they still practice very hard and dare not relax. They are already familiar with the song, dance and positioning. After rehearsing a few times, there is no problem. The official recording has started.

"How is Yuan Xi feeling?"

After the pre-recording of the stage was completed, the members thanked the staff out of breath. As soon as they stepped off the stage, they were caught by the staff sent by the company to shoot the sideshow. A VJ pointed the camera at Chi Jingyuan and asked a question. question.

"Really... quite tired." Chi Jingyuan, whose forehead and cheeks were dripping with sweat, took the toilet paper handed over by the assistant next to him, and lightly dabbed it on his face a few times. Facing the question, he looked at the camera With a wry smile, he expressed his true feelings: "In order to achieve the best stage effect, it took five or six times to record before it was considered a pass. In fact, there is no strength left after that."

"It is said that the choreography of the song "Spring Day" was proposed and done by Yuan xi on his own initiative. What was the idea behind the choreography for a ballad song? What do you think are the characteristics of this song?"

"Because it's the title song, of course we should pay more attention to it." Chi Jingyuan laughed as a joke, and then seemed to recall it, and his expression became a lot more serious: "Actually, it's because "Spring Day" is not a song. A conventional ballad, it is a song that can show a different charm from XO in the past, with some Alternative hiphop style, and combined the sensibility of Brit-rock and some electronic sounds when making arrangements."

"Because we want to show more complex attributes and emotions, and improve some live stage effects, we still did a complete choreography... and we are a boy group after all, and dancing is the main business."

Chi Jingyuan's last sentence made VJ laugh, and after finishing the question, he went to find other members, but Chi Jingyuan didn't stay here, and returned directly to the lounge, took a bottle of mineral water and began to drink.

After a while, the members came back one by one, they were all too tired to find a seat and then slumped and didn't bother to get up.

After taking a few sips of water, Chi Jingyuan put on his glasses and took out his game console to play. There will be nothing else to do next except for a comeback interview and some special recordings. They can rest until the afternoon broadcast start.

Playing songs is really a waste of time.

fine.

…………

"I had the same dream again, the end of the endless desert."

"The bright and magnificent city disappears the moment it touches it."

With the characteristic prelude like raindrops falling into an oasis, Do Kyungsoo sang the lyrics of the first verse softly, making an excellent introduction for the stage of "El Dorado".

On the TV, the nine members of EXO stood scattered in various corners of the stage, all wearing dark black jackets and light-colored singing suits, which dyed the entire stage with a deep and mysterious feeling.

The deep lighting combined with the strange melody seems to pull every audience to the exotic desert thousands of miles away. I watched the nine people in front of me embark on a journey to find the golden kingdom and their own oasis.

The melody gradually changed from soft to uplifting, and the originally loose positions on the stage gradually became closer. When it came to Chi Jingyuan's part, the volume suddenly became louder, the accompaniment suddenly became surging, and the lights on the stage suddenly changed from cold tones. Fiery as hell, the song launches into an exciting chorus.

"Show the light ahead of us, and set off towards a future that no one knows."

"Every step will become a legend."

"The El Dorado."

The neat dance is displayed on each member's body. Every time a person's part comes, they will quickly switch positions. The back and forth is continuous but not a simple repetition, which makes people feel dizzy.

The progressive lyrics and exciting melody constantly stir people's emotions.

"What are you looking at?"

Suddenly there was a noisy sound next to her, which brought Kim Taeyeon back to reality from her stage charm on TV. She frowned slightly and looked at the source of the sound next to her with some dissatisfaction. Huang Meiying, who was on the phone just now, didn't know when she was sitting down. beside.

"Look at EXO's comeback stage today."

The immersive emotion just now disappeared, Kim Taeyeon pursed her lips and explained, and her eyes returned to the TV, but the feeling that had become a little ignited by the melody and the stage was gone.

Girls' Generation is currently preparing for this year's album. It has been 8 years since their debut. Unless they come back during the promotion period, even if they prepare the album, SNSD members who have each bought properties and have their own social circles will rarely live in the dormitory. .

However, they just released the DVD of last year's Tokyo Dome concert yesterday, and will soon release the MV and sound source of their ninth Japanese single. There will also be a fan meeting to prepare for in a while, so several members have also been preparing for it in the past few days. He returned to the dormitory early, and the originally deserted room became a lot more lively.

"Oh, XO is back in a row, I almost forgot." Huang Meiying patted her head, sat next to her and looked at the huge display screen in front of her. She didn't seem to notice Taeyeon's dissatisfaction just now, and kept talking. Said: "The results of their return last month were particularly good, what about this month?"

"It's okay. I can't say it's very good at the moment. Anyway, I saw a lot of people criticizing it online." Kim Taeyeon seemed to have paid special attention to it and said without looking back.

"That's it... but this song is quite nice, and the lyrics are also pretty good." Huang Meiying couldn't help but comment as she watched the last part on the TV.

"A huge wave swept over us, and we faced it again."

"The golden land of dreams will eventually be resisted."

“Sail sail sail gotta gotta gogo…”

The sound filled the air from the speakers, and the nine members on the TV stood side by side and performed Ending poses. Amidst the cheers, the screen gradually turned black and began to play the return VCR.

"It does sound pretty good."

Kim Taeyeon nodded, then looked over with squinting eyes: "It's just you who keep talking nonsense, which makes the atmosphere less interesting."

"Hehe..." Huang Meiying was not annoyed at all when she was criticized on the spot. She narrowed her eyes and smiled and sat closer.

"What are you looking at?"

""M!C"? Oh, there's EXO's comeback stage today, I remember. Why did Taeyeon think of watching this?"

At this time, several more voices and footsteps were heard. Kwon Yuri and Kim Hyoyeon, who had just moved back to the dormitory this afternoon, walked out of the room next to them and also sat on the sofa.

The reason why I stayed to watch EXO's stage this time was because when I heard the song "Spring Day", Kim Taeyeon found that the style of this song is very suitable to her. It is a lyrical song that she likes, and it is not a simple lyric. Instead, it is mixed with many styles such as rock and roll. It sounds pleasant but also has a strong sense of novelty.

At the same time, the emotions expressed and the high-quality and beautiful MV are all things she hopes to see in her solo that she has thought about many times. As for the song "Spring Day", Chi Jingyuan participated in the production and creation. She also felt very interested. She wanted to see the stage for the first time, see the level of this scheduled producer, and see if she could borrow any elements into her future solo work.

"Please support Jingyuan's song, and I think it's pretty good."

However, Kim Taeyeon did not tell the reason, but just found a reason to explain it casually.

At present, she is the only one in Girls' Generation who has determined her personal solo schedule. Although the other members have not stated it clearly, she knows that they actually have some opinions. To be honest, it is useless and will make people have other ideas.

Huang Meiying smiled and said nothing. The two people next to her nodded. As the VCR finished playing, the stage of "Spring Day" also became quiet. They sat on the sofa and watched it seriously together.

In a background like a station waiting room, the nine members of EXO are gathered together with their backs to the camera. Warm-colored lights shine on them, making them look soft and bright.

"I miss you."

"After I said it, I missed you even more."

With a touch of sadness, the prelude sounded that lingered in your ears for a long time after listening to it. With Jin Junmyeon's opening, the stage officially started.

After the opening pose, all the people who were still clustered together dispersed in an instant, and the light changed to a slightly reddish color. Several members appeared on the screen one by one, chasing and following the camera while singing One's own part, while showing the entire waiting room.

At the end of this verse, Do Kyungsoo stood up from the chair, looked at the camera and guided the body to retreat slowly, backed up in front of a closed door, turned around and gently opened the door, some dazzling backlight And bursts of smoke immediately emerged from the other side of the door, making people's eyes flash, all sights were occupied by light and smoke.

The two disappeared in the next second, and the camera turned, and the background on the screen had changed from the waiting room just now to the formal stage.

"Snowflakes are falling, and they are leaving little by little."

"I miss you."

"I miss you."

"I miss you.

The two different backgrounds are not abrupt under the editing. The design of opening the door and the smoke makes the transition perfectly blended in. The picture flashes, and Chi Jingyuan in the C position takes over the melody and directly starts his part of the chorus, And all the members who had just dispersed gathered around him and began to dance neatly.

The headlights on the ceiling hang down from the ceiling. The headlights are surrounded by countless budding cherry blossoms and leaf curtains, emitting bursts of pink light. With the pale yellow light ball extending from the leaf curtains, the station in winter just now has disappeared. , The whole stage seems to have entered the season of blooming flowers.

EXO’s costumes for the first stage this time are exactly the same as those in the MV. Chi Jingyuan is wearing a pure white turtleneck sweater with spaced stripes and a black jacket. The original color of pure black short hair is remote and deep, and the bangs are gently changing in front of his forehead as he dances. He faced the camera with a slightly sad expression, as if he couldn't bear it, he bent down and covered his side face.

"How many more nights will we have to survive?"

"How can I meet you?"

"How can I meet you?"

When it came to the lyrics of this paragraph, Chi Jingyuan straightened up, and the nine members jumped in place at the same time, and the other eight surrounded the city with Chi Jingyuan as the center, and then the group retreated towards the left side of the stage as a whole , the whole starts to translate.

During the accompaniment and aria, they moved to the far left side of the stage. After doing a few movements, the group turned around and jumped in place, and neatly returned to the right side of the stage.

At the same time, petal-shaped confetti kept falling from the ceiling, like pink snowflakes, or cherry blossoms as pure as snow. The rain of flowers gently floated over the stage, sweeping across the faces of each member. However, it condenses as they move and melts as they dance.

"This stage design is really beautiful..."

"The choreography is also very characteristic. This big group is really comfortable to watch while moving."

"The company really cares enough..."

Huang Meiying and Kim Hyoyeon couldn't help sighing directly after seeing the stage of the chorus part, and their voices were not lacking in surprise.

I thought the stage of a lyrical song was just a few people standing on it and singing, but I didn't expect that this song "Spring Day" was played out by them. With their young eyes, they couldn't help feeling a sense of surprise.

Kim Taeyeon didn't know when she hugged a pillow in her arms, sat on the sofa and leaned forward slightly, watching the stage on TV seriously, without saying a word.

After the first chorus ended, Wu Shixun was given a super close-up close-up. Two seconds later, the camera zoomed out, and the scene naturally returned to the station at the beginning.

After repeating the main chorus, the door was opened again to lead the camera, and the smoke filled the air and returned to the stage again.

Although the background switches back and forth, it will not make the audience feel abrupt and frequent at all. On the contrary, the language of the camera will make the effect of the whole stage much more vivid. The different backgrounds of the waiting station and the stage reflect different feelings and implied meanings. Are not the same.

When it came to the last chorus, the lighting behind him changed from pure pink to rainbow-like streamers. Just now, the scattered cherry blossom confetti poured down, filling the entire stage in an instant.

If the flower rain just now was just sporadic light snow, this moment is the real heavy snow.

In such an atmosphere, they are no longer colored paper. What falls in the air is pink snow, and what falls on the ground, floating and falling with the footsteps is the real flower.

"Wait until the spring is in full bloom."

"Wait until the flowers bloom."

"Just wait there for me."

"Wait for me there.

At this moment, spring in full bloom came here.

The stage bathed in the rain of flowers is full of romantic and beautiful colors. Under the pink headlights and radiant lighting, it makes people feel a little unreal. The people surrounded by flowers seem to be in a dream .

Kim Taeyeon in front of the TV saw the last part where the entire stage effect was sublimated, and a strong sense of amazement filled her heart.

Quan Yuli and the others may not know, but as a close friend who often chats and communicates with Chi Jingyuan, she knows something about it. She knows that "Spring" is composed of music, choreography, production and stage design. Participation can be said to be ubiquitous and extremely influential.

Seeing the end of the performance and the EXO members posing in the Ending pose, Taeyeon came back from the somewhat immersed stage, inexplicably remembered what was talked about during the last dinner, and curled her lips secretly, feeling a little upset and feeling a little emotional:

"It's really speechless, to be envious of a junior..."
