Chapter 108 The Tree of Life
"Take a rest, it's too bad, I'm too tired."

Just after the song ended, Park Chanyeol couldn't hold back and sat down on the ground, panting continuously, while shaking his hand to signal that he couldn't take it anymore and wanted to take a break.

The same was true for the surrounding members, who were almost at their limit. As soon as the song stopped, several of them lay down in disorder without anyone telling them.

Chi Jingyuan also stretched his legs and sat paralyzed by the side, panting non-stop against the wall, sweat dripping down his forehead like a stream, and the sportswear he was wearing was already drenched in sweat .

He once again experienced the exhausting feeling of hard work when he first joined the company and was preparing to make his debut album.

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

This time, it was much harder than the debut mini-album. Just learning and recording the [-] songs of the original album is a huge workload.

Fortunately, the people with a lot of singing parts are basically the lead singers in the group. They are pretty good at things like learning new songs and recording. I can't finish the month.

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

Of course, there will definitely be more advocates.

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

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

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

You can only feel the charm of it when it is accompanied by dancing. It is a song that will only shine on the stage.

Therefore, this song has very high requirements for dance. The company specially invited an exclusive choreographer, American dance genius Tony Testa, to take charge of the choreography.

Tony Testa became famous when he was young, and he is not very old now, but he is indeed very talented in dancing. He has cooperated with SM company many times. He has completed the choreography of several title songs of SHINee, including last year's big hit, which made many The choreography of "Sherlock" has been admired by many.

The choreography he finally completed was indeed very interesting, and the dance moves of "Wolf" looked very memorable, especially the "tree of life" pose of the 12 people in the opening scene.

This choreography is not only in line with EXO's group concept, but also has a very distinctive style.

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

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

In addition to the opening, the other dance moves are also very good, which is very good for the style of the song "wolf".

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

Not only is it difficult, but the dance is also very intense. The movements require sufficient 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 the basic skills and physical strength of each member.

Even the main dancer, Jin Zhongren, the man who claims to be able to learn a dance with just a few glances, has been exhausted these past few days, and now he is the only one lying motionless on the ground.

What's more terrible is that they have to learn and practice more than one version of such a difficult and tiring dance.They have to dance 4 versions of "Wolf" in total.

There are 12 people in Korean and Xiawen. Everyone's dance part is completely different. It is easy to confuse your own movements, and both require a lot of practice.

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

Chi Jingyuan felt terrible just talking about it.

Chi Jingyuan couldn't go back to the dormitory after the practice these days. He had to work overtime with several choreographers to choreograph the song "Roar". He often worked 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 arrange. In order to match the title of the song, the dance movements of the chorus part directly imitate the movements of orangutans, which is very characteristic.

Although it is not difficult, the dance is very memorable. It is really handsome with the melody. The effect of group dancing is very good. Chi Jingyuan's evaluation is quite magical and amazing.

Under the guidance of Chi Jingyuan, the progress of the choreography is very fast. It is estimated that it can be done in two days, and he can be regarded as able to handle tasks, so he can relax later.

It is worth mentioning that Chi Jingyuan declined the company's request to write Xiawen lyrics for "Roar", because he felt that his skills were not up to the level of writing Xiawen lyrics.

The company didn't say anything, and handed over the task to the lyricist Xia Guo who had worked with him before.

"Roar" hasn't been practiced yet, but the practice of "Wolf" really makes people's legs tremble when they hear the name.

"Okay, take a break, time is running out, let's continue, 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 of water, 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, and relying on this force, his body is lying on his back to the right, his head is lowered, and at the same time, 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...

…………

"So who will be the newcomer who has captured everyone's attention in the past year?"

"No.20 [-]nd Seoul Music Awards Rookie Award... EXO-K, congratulations."
