Peninsula Asteroid

The cheers gradually fell silent and only sporadic shouts could be heard. The whole venue was plunged into darkness, and the cheering sticks that kept waving were extraordinarily dazzling.

In the darkness, the secondary stage suddenly lit up, several beams of light flowed and turned, and soon formed a huge nine-square grid projection on the curtain, and in the middle was the iconic 'maze' logo of EXO's second mini-album this year.

See this logo. The screams that had just descended immediately rose again, and with the passionate BGM, Kai's figure appeared in the Jiugongge 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 screen were constantly changing during the accompaniment and performance. Into a fantasy world that is out of control and intertwined.

Countless audiences were dazzled by the extremely novel stage effects. Before they had watched it, the lights of the entire stage suddenly turned on, and the figures of the nine members appeared in the Jiugong grid in three rows at the same time. They couldn't see it against the light. Clear faces, but each of them looked so dazzling, and the huge maze logo appeared again at the rear, followed by uncontrollable screams.

The lights were turned off amid the cheers, and after a few seconds of eerie silence, a familiar prelude suddenly sounded.

"Ayo, ladies and gentlemen."

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

A beam of illuminating light shot out from the ceiling, accurately photographing Chi Jingyuan who had already lifted the curtain and walked onto the stage. Facing the camera in front of the VJ who was filming, he raised his eyebrows and stretched out his hand to tick Make an inviting gesture, and the big screen directly gives a super close-up close-up in real time.

Seeing Chi Jingyuan appearing on the big screen, as if responding to his lyrics, the screaming of the whole scene went up to a new level, and the whole audience fell into a boil in an instant, even many people in front of the TV I feel very happy.

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

I am familiar with this song because this song is the prelude song of EXO's second mini-album this year. It was loved by many people once it was released. "dope" has a lot of fans. Currently, the MV hits on Youtube have climbed to more than 80 million. It only took more than half a year to surpass "Roar" released last year and become EXO's current hit. The song MV with the highest volume is only one step away from breaking 100 million hits, which is still extremely difficult for Peninsula idols.

And many of the clicks in the middle are from overseas European and American regions. Many people there seem to like the style, costumes and choreography of "dopo". The popularity there has increased a lot.

At the same time, Chi Jingyuan's pen-hold shooting in the police officer's costume also opened up the era of pen-hold shooting in the peninsula music industry. With more than 30 million hits, he was the best among all pen-hold pen-hold shoots of peninsula idols. He is very well-known, and he is basically the one who mentions pen-hold shots. Even among the fans of all groups, there are very few people who have not seen his pen-hold shots. was widely disseminated.

The unfamiliarity is because the stage performance of this song has been pitiful since the release date. It is obviously very popular and fans like to watch it, but SM has never arranged for XO to perform this song. So far the most famous There was only one stage on the stage, so people who like this song couldn't find a chance to watch the stage. Many fans cursed at SM at the same time while they were disappointed.

Don't put "Addicted" every day, we want to watch "dope"!

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

Today, on the stage of MAMA, which has such a wide viewing range, "dope", which has been away from the audience for a long time, reappeared in front of them, which really made 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 out-of-the-box police uniforms, Chi Jingyuan and all members of EXO today did not repeat the most characteristic cosplay outfits of this song. Although the inner clothes are different, the outside is all pure black suits, which look both Serious and ascetic, showing another strange and wonderful style.

After finishing the opening scene, Chi Jingyuan turned aside and let the camera show the next members, and the stage officially began.

After the three members left the group, the M team has no meaning to exist. The original choreography of the two teams separated by six members has lost its effect. After the choreographer and Chi Jingyuan worked overtime, they re-arranged a nine The human version of the dance is used for performance.

But generally speaking, the difference from the previous 6-person version is not very big. When group dancing, add one at the end, and add a dance position symmetrically on the left and right sides. It’s just that the parts need to be redistributed, and it can’t be said that the M team fits together. The three members who came over didn't say a word.

"Girls, scream louder, scream, never!"

"While I'm working all night, you're hanging out in a nightclub."

"We're not like those other guys."

The overhead lights were brightly lit, and the colorful and gorgeous lights gave the stage an atmosphere of a nightclub. Nine people stood in neat formation on the stage and danced together. Chi Jingyuan, who was standing in the C position, was buttoning up his suit in a fierce dance. He unbuttoned the sweater with the lining inside, and his forehead was still sweating visibly under the December temperature.

The reaction of the audience below was also extremely intense. The screams were almost uninterrupted. Whenever there was a close-up of any member's C position on the big screen, they would cheer loudly and neatly. The atmosphere of the entire award ceremony seemed to be pushed. to the highest peak.

"say what?"

"say wo wo."

"say what?"

Accompanied by the characteristic saxophone at the end, the stage of "dope" came to an end. Nine people danced and gathered in the center of the stage. In the end, they didn't have to sing the lyrics themselves. The audience shouted out excitedly:

"Never, never, never, never!"

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

The feeling of being supported by the whole audience is really great.

When the audience below was still jubilant, the lights on the ceiling began to dim. Seeing this signal, EXO9 immediately bowed their waists and ran towards the backstage.

As soon as they left, a dancer wearing a gym suit came onto the stage with a long red satin and began to perform a graceful solo dance, buying time for EXO's transition.

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

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

While walking quickly in the direction of the elevator, she took off her black suit to reveal the light-colored turtleneck sweater inside. This is also the costume for the next "Let It Be" stage performance. At the same time, sister Cody followed step by step with a tissue Beside him, helping him wipe the sweat off his forehead.

"Get on the lift, Barry Barry! Time is coming."

The field manager over there waved at them anxiously, looked at his watch from time to time, and listened to the explanation of the chief PD inside with a headset.

In the last 20 to 30 seconds, we checked each other's makeup and clothes. After getting ready, all the members stood on the elevator according to the position and order during the rehearsal. Chi Jingyuan was the first one. The microphone took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled. At the same time, the elevator started to operate and slowly rose towards the stage.

…………

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

Just finished watching the stage of "dope" and savored the aftertaste. Jiang Seulqi felt that the dance in the show was a bit boring, so she raised her head and asked a question.

She and Sun Shengwan, who also raised their heads, met each other's eyes. The two of them laughed when they saw each other. They both knew what the other was thinking, and they raised their hands to imitate Chi Jingyuan's shooting posture just now. They fired a shot at the other party, making an exaggerated mouth shape of 'absolutely', and then laughed happily together.

Just now after watching EXO receive the first award, they went to practice, but several people were very interested in the special stage of EXO's new song, so they entered the break time to watch EXO's performance, and finished watching Immediately after the stage of "dope", I felt my body was hot and excited, and I wished I could jump up and dance with them.

Pei Zhuxuan was sitting cross-legged on the wooden floor, holding a mobile phone and watching seriously. The earphone cable of the earphone was hanging from the side of the chin, looped around a few times in front of the waist, and there trembled with breathing. Holding a bottle of mineral water half drunk.

There are still sweat stains on her forehead from the practice just now, and her shortness of breath is a bit loud, but it seems that none of this has affected her. Pei Zhuxuan has been staring at the live broadcast on the screen, not participating at all. Seul Gi and Son Seung Wan are funny.

Although the stage of "dope" was exciting, she felt a little restless, and the performances of Ji Jingyuan and EXO were also very eye-catching and people couldn't help admiring, but Pei Zhuxuan's biggest expectation is EXO's new winter song, which will start soon, " Let it be."

She always remembered the sentence that Chi Jingyuan said at that time, 'You will know when you hear it. '

Originally, Pei Zhuxuan wanted to ask carefully in advance because she was interested, but because of the hateful behavior of the other party's deliberate trickery, she gave up this idea.

However, the curiosity that was hoisted became more and more intense, and as I thought about it in my heart, I also had some inexplicable sense of expectation.

Finally, the special stage of today's MAMA came.

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

...

The female dancer dancing the colorful silk left the stage, the lights of the whole venue dimmed again, and the scene fell into a mess of discussions.

At this time, dots of silver-white light spots suddenly appeared in the sky above the sub-stage, and more and more of the light spots slowly landed, forming a gorgeous and eye-catching starry sky in the midair, continuously descending until the entire The secondary stage is completely covered.

The silver-white light is extremely dazzling in the dark, and people's attention is immediately focused on it. After looking at it for a long time, I realized that there are hundreds of chains with small snowflake-shaped lanterns hanging from the ceiling. , an extremely large number of small colored lights that are innumerable, flashing a slightly cold silvery white light.

This light is not only EXO's official support color, which symbolizes the shining stars, but it is also like a cold snowflake, which seems to lower the temperature of the entire stage.

Being in it is like traveling in the starry sky or walking in the heavy snow. Every flicker of the light can arouse the infinite reverie of the audience.

Even though EXO has not yet appeared on stage, this dazzling dance set has already amazed countless audiences, it is really beautiful and touching.

At this time, the countless lights dimmed suddenly, and there was a rhythmic, melodious and soft piano sound, and the sound of the whole venue suddenly became much quieter, and everyone realized that EXO, the new song stage, had officially started.

"You'll get used to it, again."

"Like catching a cold."

As Qingyin's singing voice appeared in the ears, all the colored lights were lit up again in an instant. At this time, everyone was pleasantly surprised to find that the members of EXO had appeared on the sub-stage, shrouded in countless stars. Inside, as if just walked out of a dream.

And Chi Jingyuan, who was standing in the middle, sang the first sentence with a hand microphone. His soft but emotional singing made the AsiaWorld-Expo, which was still a little noisy just now, suddenly quiet down.

And Chi Jingyuan's extremely familiar voice came into his mind through the earphones, and Pei Zhuxuan was a little stunned after hearing the first sentence.

"...I thought I would get used to being scolded for so long..."

"...I've never been so sick with a cold or fever before..."

Involuntarily, in the early morning, by the river, on a chair, sitting together, crying...The picture of the previous night suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, and she cried to Chi Jingyuan in the emotional breakdown that she almost forgot The words became clear again, it was so vivid.

"Grey emotions swarming in."

"Even if you rub shoulders with me countless times, you still have to be patient."

Immediately after Chi Jingyuan, Chen, one of the lead singers, picked up the microphone and started singing with all his heart.

"It will pass, will it pass?"

"Just a little while."

"It will pass, will it pass?"

"Maybe it's over?"

The repeated lines are full of sad and lost emotions, mixed with obvious doubts, expectations and longings. Even ordinary viewers who don't understand EXO's current situation can feel the emotions contained in it, and it sounds very good. It is a sweet and gentle melody.

"...I thought that as long as I persisted and endured, everything would pass..."

Pei Zhuxuan was crying, looked at Chi Jingyuan with a strong complaining tone and asked, "Will it pass?"

Chi Jingyuan looked at her for a while, then suddenly smiled and tilted his head: "Yes."

Hearing this unusually familiar lyrics, Pei Zhuxuan's mind instantly had this engraved picture in his mind. Her own questioning and the other party's smile were clear and unforgettable, and it also made her lips feel a little dry suddenly, and she pursed it lightly Then he bit his lower lip with his teeth, biting a little hard.

There was no need to explain anything, she already understood that the second lyricist Chi Jingyuan said was herself.

On the stage, the nine members of EXO stood in a row among the colored lights, without any dance moves, just stood there quietly, and whoever’s part was it’s turn would sing their own line, some with serious expressions, some with serious expressions. With smiles on their faces, some greeted the audience with a gentle wave, while others stared blankly at the stage floor and the colorful lights in front of them.

The silvery-white star dots kept hovering up and down. Even though EXO was not dancing, it still added a dynamic sense to the whole stage that would not make you feel bored. It was full of sadness and confusion, but it did not lose the atmosphere of persistence and hope. Many viewers have been pulled into the world of this song.

"In the gray sky."

"There must be a brighter light."

"After the dark clouds cleared."

"Shine a bright light."

“You shine like the stars.”

"You light up my heart."

Under Chi Jingyuan's skillful switching between true and false voices, the first main chorus officially ended, and "Let It Be Natural", a winter single that EXO has been including but not yet released, also officially met with all audiences.

The fans of XO who have been paying attention to Ai Li immediately fell into endless emotion after hearing the melody and seeing the lyrics. They are very aware of the setbacks and disadvantages that EXO has encountered after quitting the three in a row. Listening to this soft but firm accompaniment, which is very close to the present, as if the lyrics were written in their hearts, everyone was filled with emotions. Looking at the nine EXO members on the screen, they became inexplicably excited.

Although the passers-by on the peninsula don’t have so many thoughts, many of them are aware of EXO’s situation. Under the high-quality performance of lead singers such as Chi Jingyuan, they unconsciously immersed themselves in the artistic conception. , I feel that this song is quite nice, and the lyrics are also well written.

Although the audience at MAMA couldn't understand the lyrics, they appreciated the melody very much. After listening to the first part, many people's eyes lit up and they felt very pleasant. Coupled with the gorgeous and atmospheric stage setting this time, many people have already decided that this is the most impressive stage performance they have seen tonight.

"Isn't this the end?"

"wua~wua~"

"There will still be dark days?"

"wua~wua~"

After the second chorus, after the two lyrics of kai and xiumin, they all added a harmony of 'wua~', which made many people feel their eardrums tremble, and the ethereal harmony was in the air At this time, the effect is very good, and it plays a strong foil effect.

After listening to it for a while, many people quickly glanced around and found that it was not recorded in advance, but Chi Jingyuan on the stage sang with his own voice.

At this time, he lowered his head and raised his microphone to his mouth. His teammates sang a sentence and he followed it, as if he was doing a sacred thing and was very devoted.

In the third line of harmony, some people couldn't help but 'wu' together.

During the second refrain, the director pointed the camera at the artist booth to shoot the reaction of the artists from time to time, among which IU and Jin Yarong gave the most shots.

On the screen, IU bent her waist slightly, staring at the stage intently without blinking her eyes, her mouth was obviously still singing along with the XO members on the stage, judging from her mouth shape, she should be singing Chi Jingyuan's part What's amazing is that she just listened to the chorus once and she has already memorized the key and lyrics.

And Jin Yarong looked at the stage in front of him in a daze, with his mouth slightly open as if he had been infected, and sank into it.

With the end of the rap stage of Park Chanyeol and Oh Sehun, "Let It Be Natural" also entered the chorus part of the last verse.

“You shine like the stars.”

"You light up my heart."

"At the end of today's test."

"Please illuminate me brilliantly."

After the end of this line of lyrics, the previous accompaniment melody suddenly stopped, leaving only the beat of drum beats, and at the same time, there was a shocking sound that made goosebumps rise.

"wu~~~~wu~~~~wu~~~wu~~~"

"Ah~~~ah~~~ah~~~"

Two different voices blended together perfectly and harmoniously. The undulating background sound and the singing that pierced the eardrums came out from the mouths of Chi Jingyuan and Do Kyungsoo unimaginably, forming a fairy music. A cappella-style harmony with accompaniment.

The amazing human voice harmony that appeared in the middle and back of the song just now is vividly displayed at this time, making the audience who thought the song was over trembled instantly. Confident eyes looked towards the stage and into the screen.

The silver-white colored lights in the sky turned into a hazy yellow color at some point, and the whole stage seemed to have entered from the cold winter to the intoxicating warm spring. Although the speed of the change was a bit fast, it was not abrupt but under the harmony Naturally.

And Chi Jingyuan was standing in the front center of the stage at this time, surrounded by countless pale yellow starry sky, he looked like a character who came out of a cartoon, the turtleneck sweater with light pigment surface did not have any embellishments, but It makes people feel very comfortable.

He lowered his head slightly, gently covered his ears with his left hand, and sang harmony with the microphone in his right hand. Every time he made a pronunciation, his head would tremble slightly. His mouth shape in the close-up shot was not exaggerated, but Every sound seems to be transmitted to the depths of people's hearts.

"wu~~~~wu~~~~wu~~~wu~~~"

"Ah~~~ah~~~ah~~~"

The harmony of the two is very good, and the ethereal voice that cuts through the sky blooms all the backlogged emotions of the whole song at this moment.

The ending of this passage can be called the finishing touch, and it is the essence of the whole song "Let It Be Natural". Sweeping away, as if injecting the only ray of light into the dark winter night, this is salvation.

Even in the cold winter night where there is darkness everywhere and no hope is visible, there is still hope and light, as if it is the will of God.

The sense of sight of breaking out of a cocoon and becoming a butterfly in adversity, and returning with stars and moons, makes everyone who hears it have different experiences in their hearts, but the same thing is indeed the same touch.

It's just that the chords that are hard to let go are very short, and the total time is only fifteen seconds. Many people have not listened to it and it is over. They can't wait to turn the progress bar back and listen to it again.

At the end, Chi Jingyuan held the hand mic in both hands, raised his head and looked at the camera seriously, and smiled at the corner of his mouth in the close-up close-up, and sang the last line of lyrics softly:

"Please illuminate me brilliantly."

Looking at the close-up of Chi Jingyuan on the screen of the phone, looking at his bright eyes, Pei Zhuxuan only felt that he seemed to have penetrated time and space, and met his gaze.

Memories and pictures from the past flooded into my mind at this moment.

"...In a more romantic way, everything now is a test, just like what you said just now, no matter what, it will pass..." Chi Jingyuan supported the chair with both hands, looking at her very relaxedly said with a smile.

"...Who would come out to watch the sunrise at twelve o'clock in the morning? It's pabo..."

"...The sunrise must be very beautiful and bright, it will definitely illuminate us all..." Pei Zhuxuan looked forward to the dark sky with some anticipation.

"...Inside, first illuminate Pei Zhuxuan's xi, and then you reflect the light to illuminate me..." Although Chi Jingyuan smiled, his eyes met hers intently.

"Hahaha, pipipipi..." Although she didn't say it, she made a movement like teaching the exercises to illuminate the other party, and smiled happily like a child.

The memories of the past and the scene in front of her now unconsciously merged together. Sitting in the practice room, she stared at her phone in a daze. The last line sung by Jing Yuan:

"Please illuminate me brilliantly."

"Please illuminate me brilliantly."

Chi Jingyuan smiled and turned his head to look at her, and the image became clearer and clearer in front of his eyes.

Suddenly, the unspeakable emotion that had been suppressed in her heart became uncontrollable. The more suppressed, the more active she became. No matter how hard she tried, there was still little result.

Soon, this feeling broke out like a wild horse running wild, flowing from the heart into the chest, pouring into the limbs, rushing to the mind, and circling around every corner of the body, clamoring and roaring non-stop.

It made her breathe faster, bit her lips harder, her nostrils quivered slightly, her eye sockets became moist, and her hands holding the phone became tighter and tighter.

He and I……

"Hey Yigu, Jing Yuan's new song is really good, I like it very much, especially the harmony at the end, wu~wu~ tsk tsk tsk, I really want to try a cappella, It would be great if I sang it... This style and lyrics are very suitable for EXO's current situation, and their fans must be very moved. Speaking of it, I think this song is quite suitable for us..."

Sun Shengwan recollected the shock just now, and smacked her lips with envy and longing. It is obvious that it is one of her dreams to perform such a shocking harmony stage on an occasion like MAMA.

And the lyrics are really written into her heart, which is very suitable for the current situation of red velvet.

Just talking, she noticed Pei Zhuxuan's strange appearance not far away. Seeing that the other person buried his head and his eyes seemed to be shining, she asked with some concern: "Oni, what's wrong with you?"

These words seemed to awaken Pei Zhuxuan from her complicated memories and thoughts. She trembled, but she didn't raise her head, but shook her head and lowered it a little bit, holding the phone tightly in her hand He seemed to be hesitating about something.

She squeezed her hands a little red. After a few seconds, she seemed to have finally made up her mind. She took the phone over as fast as she could, found a contact, quickly typed a line of words and sent it:

"Are you going back to Seoul early tonight?"
