Peninsula Asteroid

At present, the closest event to the major idol groups in the Peninsula music industry is the annual MAMA awards ceremony, which will be held on December 2. In order to prepare for this MAMA, Mnet's recent two issues of "M! countdown" has stopped its normal broadcast and is all used to review the songs released by well-known idol groups this year, and at the same time announce the shortlist of several awards, which has been a long warm-up for the upcoming MAMA.

At the same time, several awards that require fans to vote have also closed their voting channels. Fans who have been canvassing for more than half a month are also arguing online about the final results. At this time of year, there are many "shady theories" 'The spread on the Internet brought a lot of attention and discussion to MAMA.

However, Ariel will not participate in this kind of session, because they have never lost in voting. EXO appears as a candidate for this kind of voting award, and other groups can basically only compete for second place. .

On November 29, MAMA announced the final guest list for this awards ceremony. While attracting the attention of fans and most of the music industry, it also immediately became the focus of online discussion.

Because this year’s MAMA guest lineup is really amazing.

This year, they occupied almost all the pages in the first half of the year, launching a battle to the top. Undoubtedly the most popular idol groups this year, EXO and Bigbang are leading the way. They have already set the tone for this MAMA's luxurious lineup. In addition, SM is here. SHinee, FX, Girls' Generation and Red Velvet, YG sent 2NE1, ikon, and JYP sent Park Jin Young and GOT7.

Different from the situation in previous years where artists from the three major companies were always absent due to conflicts or other reasons, this time all three major companies sent their top artists to attend and carefully prepared the performance stage. Such a grand scene has already happened Haven't seen it in years.

In addition to idol groups, there are also solo singers Kim Taeyeon, HyunA, Jessi, the recently popular Zion. Jingyuan’s old acquaintances, the dynamic duo, and PSY, who is the last to show off, will announce the first stage of their characters at this year’s MAMA.

As soon as this guest lineup came out, many people have already hailed this year's MAMA as the strongest guest lineup in history, or even one of them. Many people also feel that with the development of so many years, Kpop will also this year, that is, 2015 ushered in the most peak moment.

A strong guest lineup will certainly make ordinary audiences happy, but as an award ceremony, apart from the stage, the awards are naturally the most important, especially the Grand Award, which is the top priority. Many people immediately start to pay attention to the Grand Award. Arguments about belonging.

Although some singers or groups are quite popular, they often appear in people's careers, are highly exposed, and achieve good results, but if we really say that these people can win big awards and reach the TOP level, they are still in the hearts of most viewers. I still feel that they are still a little bit behind.

There are few groups of this caliber in the entire music industry.

After some discussion, as expected, most people still feel that this time the Grand Prize is still a head-to-head showdown between EXO and BigBang.

At this time, Aili and V.I.P were also quarreling online. Originally, V.I.P could not speak loudly in front of Aili because of the positive performance suppression, but because of the previous MMA, the number of bigbang awards was 2 to 1, which overshadowed it. EXO was not present, which shocked V.I.P, who had been silent for a long time and shrank away from Ali, and seemed to be making a comeback during this period.

The strongest guest lineup, the competition between the two boy groups for the grand prize, and the peak of KPOP, coupled with the heated discussions and arguments on the Internet, directly increased the popularity of this MAMA and raised the expectations of all viewers. They are full and are waiting for the arrival of the 2nd of next month.

Among them, Chi Jingyuan also looked at the list announced by MAMA, but was a little surprised not to find twice's name on it. He originally thought that Zhou Ziyu and the others would also go to MAMA this time.

He didn't bother to ask, maybe because he was still a newcomer, so he wasn't invited.

…

On the morning of December 1st, except for Park Chanyeol who had a personal itinerary in Mainland China, the EXO group took a flight to Hong Kong Island. After a short stay and thanking the fans who picked up the airport, they took the rented nanny car and booked it back. hotel.

This time many SM artists came, and they were all arranged in the same hotel. However, because each group had different schedules and times, they did not come together this time. At least Chi Jingyuan knew that red velvet would not show up until the evening. Come to Seoul.

After putting the things away and repairing them for a while, they went directly to the AsiaWorld-Expo, the venue for this year's MAMA, under the leadership of their manager.

Starting from 2012, including this year, MAMA has been held at the AsiaWorld-Expo for four consecutive years, and EXO has been participating in MAMA since their debut in 2012 until this year. What is the process of this award ceremony, and This venue can be said to be very familiar.

This year, Li Chenghuan, who led the team, did not talk non-stop in the car like before. After casually explaining a few things to note, he stopped talking. Instead, he talked about the insider gossip of the guests this time.

After arriving at the venue, we first went to have some communication with the organizer, and then waited for about an hour. Under the arrangement of the staff, EXO went on the stage and started to perform and rehearse the stage.

Although MAMA just started on the 2nd, it was actually very busy on the 1st, because in addition to the evening party on the 2nd, there were press conferences and red carpet sessions during the day, and the formal rehearsal was arranged in the morning, so the time was relatively short. It was not enough, so most of the rehearsal work was completed the day before.

"You have been practicing for this stage for a long time. I don't need to remind you about the dance. We mainly practice the process of the actual stage and the use of the elevator..."

At this time, there was no audience in the entire venue. Except for the busy staff around, most of the area seemed empty. EXO were all wearing private clothes, standing on the main stage, listening to the company's teachers and organizer staff explaining: "For the first song "Call Me Baby", the VCR we recorded before will be played at the beginning. During the playback, we should stand on the stage. When the first chorus ends, Kai will step into the formation from the waiting area and stand ready. Before you start performing, you must do this connecting part well and follow the rhythm of the drums..."

""Call Me Baby" was followed by "LIGHTSABER". When the stage ended and the lights went out, everyone hurried backstage to change clothes. Kai and Sehun changed first. After changing, they took the elevator and started the sword dance... Don't laugh... "Planet" The lightsaber in "Battle" is so cool. Others who want to play it haven't had a chance yet. Please be careful when dancing with the sword to avoid damaging the props. I took a look and found that the quality of the lightsaber props is not particularly good... "

The stage of "LIGHTSABER" is not a complete performance. It starts with Wu Sehun and Kim Jong-in dancing with lightsabers in the dark, and then there is a special stage for the six members. Compared with the formal performance, in fact, the promotion of "LIGHTSABER" Star Wars has a stronger meaning.

"After the six-person stage of "LIGHTSABER" is "Spring Day", Jingyuan was the first to come up from the elevator. He stood on the sub-stage without moving. The others did the same, waiting for the light sticks to come down from the sky before moving."

"Then came "drop that". Everyone spread out on the stage. Everyone was assigned to an area and tried to cover the entire stage. Sehun, Jingyuan and you went directly to the artist's seat. When the camera cut across , you can have some interactions with other people.”

"I won't talk about the last "boy with luv" because it doesn't have a special setting, but this song is the last stage. After four songs, you should be very tired by then. Remember to adjust your breathing and don't make mistakes. "

Because the performance of "LIGHTSABER" is only one and a half minutes and cannot be considered a complete song, this time EXO can be said to have four and a half songs on stage, three of which are the most popular title songs this year, totaling nearly 20 With a performance time of 10 minutes, he is one of the most important performers of this MAMA, the other one is bigbang.

"I don't require you to memorize everything at once. We still have a lot of time today. Let's rehearse a few times to get familiar with it. Remember, it's mainly about the process. The specific dance will be discussed during the rehearsal tomorrow. Do you remember it?" Twenty minutes? The performance was indeed a bit long, and the stage design teacher talked a lot about all the connections and conversion processes. Finally, he clapped his hands and shouted loudly.

"Inside."

Everyone responded and entered the state.

"let's start……"

…

EXO are also experienced seniors. They are also very familiar with this venue and the use of various lifts. After running a few times, there will be no problem. After the tour, we went to have dinner together and waited until night fell. The people returned to their hotel.

"Brother Junmian is calling for a card game, will you go?"

While Wu Shixun was putting on his shoes, he looked back at Chi Jingyuan who came out of the bathroom and asked.

Although the manager did not restrict the activities in the evening, because he had an important trip tomorrow and needed to get up early, even Park Chanyeol and the others did not go out and stayed in the hotel to play their own things.

"You guys go ahead and play, I'll watch TV for a while." Chi Jingyuan waved his hand. He had never been interested in poker.

Of course Wu Shixun knew, and he was just polite. After Chi Jingyuan refused, he said "leave" and then closed the door and left.

He was happy and relaxed when he was left alone in the room. Chi Jingyuan was lying on the bed lazily watching the program on TV. When he was getting a little bored, the cell phone next to him rang.

Stretching and taking it over, he saw that it was a text message from Zhou Ziyu.

Inside was a picture of a city night view taken from a high position. Judging from the angle, it was probably from a high-rise building in a certain hotel. As for the content, Chi Jingyuan knew at a glance that it was a night view of Hong Kong Island.

The meaning of this photo is obvious.

He glanced at the photo twice and felt a little strange, then tapped his phone to send: "Are you here too?"
