Chapter 551 The Strongest

At present, the closest major event to the major idol groups in the peninsula music industry is the annual MAMA Awards Ceremony to be held on December 12nd. In order to prepare for this MAMA, Mnet's latest two issues of "M! "countdown" has stopped normal broadcasting, all of which are used to review the songs released by well-known idol groups this year, and at the same time announce the shortlists for several awards, doing a long warm-up for the upcoming MAMA.

At the same time, several awards that require fans to vote have also closed the voting channels one after another. Fans who have been frantically canvassing votes for more than half a month are also arguing on the Internet for the final result. 'Distributed on the Internet, it has brought a lot of attention and discussion to MAMA.

But Aili will not participate in this kind of link, because they have never lost in voting. EXO appears in the candidates for this kind of voting awards, and other combinations basically can only compete for the second place. up.

On November 11th, MAMA announced the final list of guests who will attend this awards ceremony. While attracting the attention of various fans and most of the music industry, it immediately became the focus of online discussions.

Because the guest lineup of MAMA this year is really amazing.

This year almost occupied all the pages in the first half of the year, and launched the peak battle. There is no doubt that EXO and bigbang, the most popular idol group this year, led the way, which has already established the tone of this MAMA luxury lineup. Besides, SM is here. SHinee, FX, Girls' Generation and red velvet, YG sent 2NE1, ikon, JYP is Park Jinyoung himself and GOT7.
Different from the situation in the past few years when artists from the three major companies were always absent due to conflicts or other reasons, this time all the three major companies have sent their leading artists to attend and carefully prepared the stage for performances. It hasn't been seen for many years.

In addition to the idol group, there are also solo singers Kim Taeyeon, Hyuna, Jessi, Zion.T who has recently become popular and has a strong source of music, several well-known rappers including this year's "show me the money" champion, SanE and Chi Jingyuan's old acquaintance dynamic duo, and PSY, who is the last to press the stage, will announce their character's first stage at this year's MAMA.

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

A strong lineup of guests will certainly make ordinary audiences happy, but as an awards ceremony, besides the stage, the awards are naturally the most important, especially the grand prize among them is the most important, many people immediately start thinking about the grand prize The attribution debate.

Although some singers or groups are very popular, they often appear in everyone's careers with high exposure and good results, but if we really want to say that these people can win big awards and reach the TOP level, most of the audience think I still think they are a little bit worse.

There are not many combinations of this level in the entire music industry.

After some discussions, as expected, most people still think that this time the grand prize is still a head-to-head confrontation between EXO and bigbang.

At this time, Ai Li and VIP were also arguing on the Internet. Originally, due to the suppression of positive results, VIP could not speak loudly in front of Ai Li. EXO, who was not present, shocked the VIP who had been silent for a long time and shunned in front of Ai Li.

The strongest guest lineup, the competition between the two male groups for the grand prize, and the KPOP event that reached its peak, coupled with the heated discussions and quarrels on the Internet, directly increased the popularity of MAMA this time, and raised the expectations of all audiences. They are all waiting for the arrival of the 2nd of next month.

Among them, Chi Jingyuan also read the list announced by MAMA, but was a little surprised that he did not find the name of twice on it. He 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 rookie who just debuted, so he didn't invite him.

……

On the morning of December 12st, apart from Park Chanyeol, who has a personal itinerary in mainland China, the EXO group took a plane to Hong Kong Island. After a short stay and the fans who picked up the plane expressed their gratitude, they took the rented nanny car and booked it first. hotel.

This time SM came to a lot of artists, and all of them were arranged in the same hotel, but because the schedule and time of each group are different, they didn't come together this time, at least Chi Jingyuan knew that red velvet would not leave until the evening Come here from Seoul.

After putting the things away and finishing for a while, they headed directly to the AsiaWorld-Expo, the venue for this year's MAMA, under the leadership of their agent.

Since 2012, counting this year, MAMA has been held in AsiaWorld-Expo for four consecutive years, and EXO has just started participating in MAMA since its debut in 12 until this year. The process of this awards ceremony, and This venue can be said to be very familiar.

This year, Lee Seung-hwan, who led the team, didn't talk non-stop in the car like before. After casually explaining a few precautions, he stopped talking. Instead, he chatted about the gossip of several guests this time.

After arriving at the venue, I first went to communicate with the organizer, and then waited for about an hour. Under the arrangement of the staff, EXO went on the stage and began to step on the stage and rehearse the stage.

Although MAMA has just started on 2nd, it was actually very busy on the 1st, because in addition to the evening party on the 2nd, there will be press conferences and red carpet sessions during the day, and the official rehearsal is scheduled for the morning, so the time is relatively short That's not enough, so most of the rehearsal work was done the day before.

"You guys 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 lift..."

At this time, there were no audiences in the entire venue, and most of the area was empty except for the busy staff around. EXO was wearing private clothes, standing on the main stage, listening to the company's teachers and the organizer's personnel explaining: "The first song "call me baby" will start to play the VCR we recorded before. During the playback, we will stand on the stage. When the first chorus is over, Kai walks into the formation from the waiting area and stands still. Let’s start the performance, this linking part must be done well, follow the rhythm of the drums..."

""Call me baby" was followed by "LIGHTSABER". When the lights went out at the end of the stage, everyone hurried backstage to change their clothes. Kai and Sehun changed first, and after the change, they took the elevator to start the sword dance... Don't laugh... "Planet How handsome is the lightsaber in "War Wars". Others haven't had a chance to play it yet. Be careful when you dance the sword, don't damage the props. I checked and the quality of the lightsaber props is not particularly good... "

The stage of "LIGHTSABER" is not a complete performance. At the beginning, Oh Se-hoon and Kim Jong-in dance there with lightsabers in the dark, and then there is a special stage for six members. Compared with the formal performance, it is actually promoting " Star Wars means more.

"After the six-person stage of "LIGHTSABER" is "Spring Day", Jing Yuan was the first to get up from the elevator, and stood on the sub-stage without moving. The others did the same, waiting for the light sticks to descend from the sky before moving."

"Then "drop that", everyone spread out their positions on the stage, and everyone was assigned to an area to try to cover the entire stage, Shixun, Jing Yuan, you guys went directly to the artist booth, when the middle camera cut to , you can have a few interactions with other people."

"I won't talk about the last "boy with luv" without special settings, but this song is the last stage. After four songs, I should be very tired. Remember to adjust your breathing and don't make mistakes. "

Because the performance of "LIGHTSABER" is only one and a half minutes long, it cannot be regarded as a complete song. This time EXO can be said to have four and a half songs on the stage, and three of them are the popular title songs this year. All of them add up to nearly 10 Minutes of performance time, is one of the most important performers of this MAMA, the other is bigbang.
"I don't ask you to memorize all of them at once. I still have a lot of time today. First rehearse a few times to get familiar with it. Remember, the main thing is the process. I will talk about the specific dances in the rehearsal tomorrow. Remember?" 10 minutes The performance was a bit long, and the teacher of the stage design also babbled on all the connection and transition process, and finally he clapped his hands and yelled loudly.

"Inside."

After everyone responded, they entered the state.

"let's start……"

……

EXO is also an experienced senior. For this venue, the use of various elevators is also very familiar. The people returned to the hotel where they stayed.

"Brother Junmian called to play cards, will you go?"

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

Although the manager didn't limit the activities at night, but because he had an important schedule tomorrow and needed to get up early, even Park Chanyeol and the others didn't go out, and stayed in the hotel to play their own games.

"You guys play, I'll watch TV for a while." Chi Jingyuan waved his hand, he has never been interested in poker.

Of course Wu Shixun knew, he was just being polite casually, Chi Jingyuan refused and left a sentence of "Let's go" before closing the door and leaving.

After he was left alone in the room, he was also happy and leisurely. Chi Jingyuan was lying on the bed lazily watching the programs on TV. When he was a little bored, the mobile phone next to him rang.

Stretching and taking it over, it turned out to be a text message from Zhou Ziyu.

Inside is a picture of a night view of the city taken from a condescending height. From the perspective, it should be a high-rise of a hotel. As far as the content is concerned, Chi Jingyuan can tell at a glance that it is a night view of Hong Kong Island.

Then the meaning of this photo is obvious.

After looking at the photo twice, he felt a little strange, and tapped his phone to send: "Are you here too?"
