Chapter 350 MAMA
"XOXOXOXO!"

"Ahhh Yuan, look this way, look at me!"

"I love you Chanyeol I love you..."

The continuous withdrawal of members did not seem to have affected EXO's popularity in Hong Kong Island. When they walked out of Hong Kong Island International Airport, they were still warmly received by fans. Standing in a phalanx, Ai Li held posters and Immediately after seeing EXO walking out, Hand Width erupted in applause, making the already noisy airport even more noisy.

There were a few journalist-like people next to them with their cameras shooting at EXO and the fans who picked them up next to them. It felt like they had found good news materials.

Chi Jingyuan followed the team and looked at the many posters of himself held by the local Ai Li. He folded his hands under the guard of his assistant, and slowly squeezed forward, generally towards the sides. The fans bowed slightly to express their gratitude, and the screams of every place they looked at were immediately better.

Such a warm reception made many members happy on the face but somewhat puzzled in their hearts. It seems that the welcome received by EXO this year is much warmer than when they came last year.

Has the food here not been affected by the resignation?
After getting on the bus that had been prepared, the group went directly to the hotel. On the bus, manager Lee Seung-hwan said some things to pay attention to like the previous ones. XO has already debuted for two and a half years. I don't understand, this is the third time to participate in MAMA and I have already gained a lot of experience. Lee Seung-hwan briefly explained the itinerary for today and tomorrow and didn't say anything more.

What's interesting is that this year he didn't prohibit EXO members from leaving the hotel as before. He didn't even mention this. He just said that they should not run around during breaks and remember to report to him wherever they go.

After hearing this, several members showed joy. The company's management of EXO is obviously much looser than when it was a rookie.
Coincidentally, this year’s venue is the same as last year’s 2013 MAMA in AsiaWorld-Expo, so the hotel reserved by the company for EXO is exactly the same as last year’s. There is also a sense of familiarity.

After going to the hotel to put their luggage away, after a little trimming, they got in the car and went directly to the venue, the AsiaWorld-Expo for the stage and rehearsal of the realization.

I have practiced many times in the practice room before, and I am already familiar with the dance and movement of the stage of several songs, but the official performance still needs to pay attention to many things, including cooperating with the company's setting and the production of some special effects , the use of elevators, the timing and route of changing clothes, etc., all of which need to be rehearsed on site.

"The specific process has been told to you before, but there will still be some differences when we arrive at the scene. At the beginning of EXO, we stood in the Jiugongge and practiced some moves with special effects many times before I won't talk about it..."

After arriving at the venue and waiting for a while, all members of EXO and the team went on stage and started rehearsing. The 9 members gathered in a circle and listened carefully to the detailed process explained by several stage instructors from SM Company.

"After the opening Jiugongge performance, the lights will be turned off. At this time, everyone pulls the curtain and walks out, and enters the first stage "dope". Needless to say... After the performance of "dope", there will be dancers pulling It takes about 40 seconds for the colorful silk to come up to perform, and it takes about 1 minute for the string of lights to fall. At this time, you step off the stage as quickly as possible and go directly to the elevator. The assistant will help you put the stage costumes of "dope" on the way. After taking off the coat, Jing Yuan was the first to go up, and the special stage of "Let It Be Natural" began, and the other members went up one by one in order."

"Remember that the stage will be full of strings of colored lights that have fallen from the ceiling. It's best not to touch them with your hands. Whether it's poor quality, electric leakage, or not tied tightly enough to pull them down, it will cause stage accidents. Do you understand? "

"understood."

The nine people nodded together to express their understanding.

This time, SM made a lot of preparations for the special stage of the winter single "Let It Be" to impress people.

During the stage performance of this song, in addition to the specially matched lights, dozens or hundreds of chains of colored lights will hang from the ceiling, directly covering most of the stage, and at the same time will follow the song The color is changed according to the progress of the stage, which not only sets off the atmosphere, but also creates a dreamlike stage effect.

The organizers don't care about these things, these things are prepared by SM itself.

"After "Let It Be Natural" there was Kai's solo dance, and the others took advantage of this time to make a transition. This time there was more time for the transition. They got off the stage to change their clothes and then went directly to the elevator. Finally, it was the stage of "Addiction". This is not a big deal special……"

"The process is that there is nothing complicated about this process. Let's go through it first, and we will talk while practicing."

The instructor gestured to the stage with both hands for a long time and said a lot, and while listening to it, Chi Jingyuan and the others in their hearts also responded quickly:
"understood."

"let's start."

……

Because there are a lot of performers who need rehearsals, EXO was not given too much time, but fortunately, the main thing is to get familiar with the process. After a few times of practice, there are basically no problems.

Chi Jingyuan felt that the difficulty was that he had to run faster during the transition. The elevator took 20 seconds to go up, and the time left for them to transition was not too much. If they accidentally fell down while changing clothes That's interesting.

In the afternoon, after finding time to make another arrangement, EXO left the venue to have a meal together, and then returned to the hotel to start free activities.

"Are you going out for a walk tonight?"

"Do you want to come over tonight?"

In the hotel room, Chi Jingyuan's cell phone, who was leaning against the bed and playing games, suddenly rang continuously. He paused and picked it up to see that he had received two invitation text messages, which were sent by Pei Xiuzhi and Jin Yarong of.

Although MissA did not come back this year, because of the popularity of "some", she will basically perform with Chi Jingyuan on several important stages at the end of the year. This time MAMA is no exception, except that she can perform on stage This year's 'Best Collaboration Song Award' has almost been booked by them.

After Pei Xiuzhi arrived on Hong Kong Island in the afternoon, she sent a text message to Chi Jingyuan, saying that the hotel JYP booked for her was quite close to EXO, and they were all near the AsiaWorld-Expo.

And girlslday, as one of the popular girl groups this year, also attended this MAMA, but the special relationship between her and Chi Jingyuan has a feeling of estrangement. It has been a while since she has not been in touch. I just look at her appearance and tone. I didn't pay much attention to these.

Anyway, it's just a match, and it's not a formal relationship.

The two of them invited him together as if they had discussed it. Chi Jingyuan was stunned for two seconds when he saw it, and felt a little funny in his heart.

Do Pei Xiuzhi and Jin Yarong have such a tacit understanding?He really didn't see it.

The company’s management of EXO has been relaxed a lot and there is no restriction on their going out. Not long after returning to the hotel, Park Chanyeol and Kim Jongin happily went out to play together. Looking at the time now, it is estimated that they went to some famous places and historical sites to form a team expedition. went.

"I'm a little tired today, next time."

"I'll talk about it when I go back, I'm too lazy to go out."

After thinking about it, Chi Jingyuan sent a message to the two of them respectively, and didn't bother to read the reply, he threw the phone aside, and continued to operate with the game console.

For the invitation of the two, Chi Jingyuan is not very interested. Going out for a stroll really means that there is not much meaning in going out for a stroll. This kind of overseas trip must not stay out at night and return to the hotel. Today is the day of MAMA. Reporters and fans are all over the street. Hong Kong Island reporters are famous for their strength. If you go out with one of them, you will be photographed easily. It will be a bit difficult to say.

Speaking of which, in the past few years, Girls’ Generation seemed to have been photographed by paparazzi reporters on Hong Kong Island. In the report, two suspected members of Girls’ Generation clubbed with a rich man, and then fell down on the road as if they were drunk. Falling next to the garbage dump and losing all manners, it is known as the "Lan Kwai Fong Incident" in history, because only the back was photographed, so until now it has not been confirmed who is in the photo, even though SM and SNS members have issued a statement to clarify that it is not themselves, There are still many people on the Internet who are eager to speculate about who it is.

Although Chi Jingyuan didn't ask whether the familiar sisters in Shaoshi were them, he had naturally seen the photo. From his point of view, if he had to choose one of them...

That person must be Senior YoonA, because the shape of one of the legs in the photo looks awkward from behind.

I don't know when the members who went out to play at night came back. Anyway, when Chi Jingyuan saw them when he got up the next day, he thought they looked pretty good. The water and soil of Hong Kong Island are really nourishing.

Today is the day of MAMA, everyone in EXO got up early in the morning and continued to go to the venue for rehearsal, including "some" with Bae Suzy.

This rehearsal is a complete rehearsal of the evening process. All the guests are basically present, which is much more formal than yesterday's stepping on the stage.

After walking around in the morning, EXO and the others rushed to the beauty salon to start styling without even eating. They were picked up by a special car at three o'clock in the afternoon and started to walk the red carpet, sign autographs, and accept interviews. When they finally arrived at the venue and waited At the beginning of the show, Chi Jingyuan felt a little exhausted. In order to be able to be on camera for the evening ceremony, they hadn't eaten much since last night, and they were already starving.

I don’t know how those female artists persisted in dieting and body management a week or even half a month in advance in order to look better in custom-made dresses for large-scale ceremonies.

He couldn't do it anyway.

Snatching a few biscuits from Wu Shixun was regarded as a cushion, and Chi Jingyuan did not go out to make contact with Jin Junmian and Park Chanyeol. With the beginning of the ceremony.

"Come on! (smiley face)"

When the show was about to start at six o'clock, Chi Jingyuan received a text message from Zhou Ziyu, looking at the silly smiling face in the middle of the screen, Chi Jingyuan seemed to see Zhou Ziyu smirking in front of his eyes.

He took a breath and chuckled, and returned a 'smile'.

At this time, Li Chenghuan came out quickly from the outside with a notebook in hand, and stopped him directly: "The preparations will start soon, everyone else will watch in the backstage and wait for the staff to notify you, Jing Yuan, you can go directly to the artist booth to listen to the arrangement of the venue." , there will be your prize at the beginning."

"Alathor." Without checking whether Zhou Ziyu had sent a message, Chi Jingyuan put away the phone directly, stood up and gestured, first ran to the mirror and asked Cody to check if there was any problem with the shape, Then he walked out quickly with the field manager waiting outside the door.

Because there are a lot of guests in this kind of large-scale award ceremony, and there are several large boy groups like EXO, so the artist seats set up outside generally cannot seat so many people.The organizer will arrange the seats in the entertainer's seat according to the time of receiving the award and performance to stagger the guests. Before receiving the award, they must sit in the artist's seat, and the artists who are about to perform on stage will come down in advance to prepare.

Followed the stage manager to the artist booth and found his seat. He exchanged a glance with Pei Xiuzhi who was arranged next to him but didn't say a word. Chi Jingyuan smiled and nodded with the artists who were closer to him. call.

Compared with last year's MAMA, Chi Jingyuan saw a lot of familiar faces, such as GD, INFINITE, sistar and several popular artists.

Except for their EXO, Crayon Pop, which was extremely popular last year and the second half of the year, has long since disappeared.

The audience had all entered the arena, and the lights on the ceiling gradually dimmed amidst the chaotic noise. Knowing that the official start was about to begin, there was a burst of loud screams from the audience, which gradually weakened after the music started.

At 2014:[-] p.m., the [-] MAMA Awards Ceremony officially began. Under the watchful eyes of countless audiences, the first program was a passionate rap performance by a group of rappers whose names Chi Jingyuan could not name.

The exposed arms of several rappers were covered with tattoos, and they wore big gold chains around their necks. They gestured hip-hop and real, and sang rhythmic lyrics on stage.

Although he couldn't make out his name, Chi Jingyuan managed to recognize him. This seems to be a contestant on the well-known rap show "show me the money" on the peninsula this year. One of them seems to be a trainee of YG. He remembers listening to it in the dormitory. Which member of XO mentioned it.

The opening rap performance did not heat up the atmosphere. The local audience on Hong Kong Island basically couldn't understand what they were singing, but they still waved the cheering sticks in their hands enthusiastically and screamed twice.

After playing the VCR list of all the guests present at this MAMA, this year's host, Song Seung Heon, stepped onto the stage.

Song Seung Heon is one of the well-known male actors on the peninsula who became popular in Asia at the beginning of the millennium. He starred in "Blue Life and Death" which was very popular.It's just that the momentum in recent years has weakened many works that are not too out of the circle, but the super-large-scale performances of the male and female protagonists in the romance film "Human Poisoning" released in the middle of this year also caused a lot of discussion.

The stage of this year's venue is in the shape of a line. A long aisle extends from the main stage to the auxiliary stage, and then connects the artist seats in a straight line. The three points and one line of the three places are very clear.

"Hi everyone, I'm Song Seung Heon."

Standing on the main stage, he first greeted the local audience in Chinese, which aroused cheers, but he only said this sentence. Obviously, he does not speak Chinese well, so he only prepared this sentence in advance.

He naturally switched to English: "Welcome to Asia's largest music festival, 2014MAMA, and it's an honor to come to beautiful Hong Kong."

"A lot of fantastic performances tonight, are you ready to enjoy?"

"Yeah!" Song Seung Heon's name is still quite big, and the audience's reaction has been relatively enthusiastic since his debut.

Soon after the host made the opening, the first award, the best newcomer, was presented.

This year SM's girl group red velvet, which debuted this year, couldn't even get into the list of candidates. After watching the candidate VCR, Chi Jingyuan had to admit that the results of every newcomer among them were much better than red velvet's. Even their debut was splashy. The small got7 is not something Ryder Beibei can catch up with.

Sure enough, the Best Newcomer went to YG's new boy group, 'Monster Newcomer' Winner.

Their debut performance is really amazing. The title song "Empty" won the first place in five days after its debut, and it was released in August. Now in December, it has only accumulated for four months, but it has already reached the Melon annual list. Entered the top [-], and the momentum is good and can continue to move forward. For a boy group, this debut sound source is simply amazing.

Chi Jingyuan felt that without the operation of other companies, Winner was likely to sweep all the newcomer awards this year.

It seems that the winner is also very excited. He said a lot of speeches on the stage to thank everyone. At the same time, the camera showed the audience below, many of whom were holding their banners and cheering objects. Yue already has so many fans and popularity, the prospect of this new boy group is really good, compared to when EXO debuted, I don't know where it will be successful.

The next Best Dance Performance SOLO Award went to Lee Sunmi.

Such a long name sounds like a consolation prize...

Speaking of Li Sunmi is also an old acquaintance. She came out of Wondergirls solo twice in 2013. The first time she hit EXO's "Roar", and the second time she bumped into Ji Jingyuan and Bae Suzy's "Some". Almost overflowing.

Her solo response was not as good as expected due to her two big hit songs. Both heat and discussion were covered a lot, and she didn't even get a single song.But in fact, her two solo songs are quite good. Whether it is last year's "24 Hours Are Not Enough" or this year's "Full Moon", the sound source results are very good, and she has gained a group of her own fans.

Li Xuanmei was clearly prepared, and she looked very eye-catching in a long red dress when receiving the award.

After she left, the lights dimmed and it was time for the stage performance.

At this time, other members of EXO also quietly came to the artist booth from the passage and sat down, and there will be their awards in a while.

At this time, girlsday is performing a song that turned around this year, "something", which is known as the pinnacle of resentful women.

I have to say that after getting popular, the energy and spirit look different. Chi Jingyuan hasn't seen Jin Yarong and the members of Girlsday for a while, and now they look on the stage and feel that they look much better than before. Not only the makeup and clothing, but also a lot of self-confidence that is exuded from within.

Speaking of which, Jin Yarong really looks good today, with black hair and red lips, a black dress with high slits and long white legs that are exposed, forming a stark contrast.

Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a VJ carrying a camera and filming a reaction at him. Chi Jingyuan relaxed, looked at the stage and smiled softly, as if he liked the performance on it.

At this time, the big screen switched to Chi Jingyuan's close-up reaction. On the screen, his black hair was combed up, and his pure black suit made his whole figure stand out. The fans and audience screamed excitedly, and the voices of 'EXO' and 'Yuan' could be heard sporadically.

Immediately afterwards, he gave close-ups of several members of XO not far away, each of which could arouse cheers, obviously the director knew how to best arouse the excitement of the audience.

Girlsday went down to Aliee's performance. Afterwards, two award presenters Gao Ziqi and Cai Lin came on stage, chatted and laughed with each other in Chinese for a while, and finally announced the award: "2014 MAMA, the winner of the Best Collaborative Song Award is..."

"Yuan, Suzy, "Some"."

Hearing their names being called, Chi Jingyuan and Pei Xiuzhi, who was seated next to him, stood up together, looked at each other and smiled, and then bowed a few times to the artists next to them who congratulated them.

The members of EXO felt much more excited when they saw Chi Kyung-won winning the award than Chi Kyung-won himself. The few people who were close rushed up and hugged him on the back and clapped his hands twice. They were very excited and quickly clapped their hands. There are two thumbs up next to it.

It's not that they are rewarded for their hard work, but it's okay to be a little lively, at least they can get fans to blow the soul of the group...

Chi Jingyuan and the members grinningly clapped their hands, and then walked to the side stage with Pei Suzy.

He is wearing a black suit and trousers, while Pei Xiuzhi is wearing a white long skirt, wearing high heels, he looks not much shorter than Chi Jingyuan, the two tall and long legs are very superior in idols standing together Appearing on the big screen really brightened the eyes of many viewers, and felt that they really fit together standing together.

But Ai Li definitely doesn't think so, and some people who are paying attention to Chi Jingyuan don't think so either.

　It is impossible to jump directly to the release of the song and come back with the time and so many things in the middle. I think the slow-paced old buddies should take care of it for a few days. They are all written according to the outline. It is estimated that there will be more than a dozen chapters in 14.

　　When I am on vacation, I should add a little more size and update
