Chapter 421 Music Bank

Listening to the straightforward and sweet lyrics, following the strong rhythm and melodious melody, Pei Zhuxuan stood alone at the entrance of the backstage, holding a notebook in her left hand and a microphone in her right hand, shaking her body gently with the music, her head following the beat She kept lighting, and the long brown hair on both sides of her cheeks was also shaking, which extremely showed her enjoyment and devotion to the stage at this time, which radiated from all over her body.

Even though she can't see the pre-recorded video on the big screen clearly from her current angle, even the EXO stage can't see the front but only the back, but it doesn't affect her good mood at the moment , and a strong sense of substitution for the lyrics and performance.

From the title of the song to every line of the lyrics, she couldn't help feeling in her ears that these were all written by herself, and every line was speaking to herself.

She watched as she withdrew from the C position and retreated to the back of the stage to dance with the formation. The back of Chi Jingyuan, who was not far away from her, tilted her head and her eyes sparkled:

You said it yourself……

Apart from Pei Zhuxuan, this is also the most real mood of many Ai Li and the audience who are watching the live broadcast of "Music Bank" at this time. Apart from the brainwashing rhythm and melody of this song, it will really make them feel very strong. empathy.

It's like my first love, telling the attachment and ignorance in my heart, telling the experience of them being together, expressing the emotions in my heart straightforwardly, I only feel the sweetness and warmth in my heart.

Everyone seems to be able to find their own position and role here, which is also an important reason why word-of-mouth and listening can overshadow the title song even though it is not a main title.

After "Orientation Sniper", followed by the stage of the title song "love me right".

After the VCR, EXO, who was dressed in casual hip-hop just now, has all changed into a completely different style of outfit. Half of the members wear blue American-style high school uniforms, and the other half don’t have jackets, but only wear pure white. The shirt is wearing a red and black tie, and it is uniformly matched with light blue jeans. Just by standing there, people can't help but feel the heart-pounding vitality and youthfulness exuding from them.

And a strong boyfriend style.

They were divided into three rows, and three people in each row stood neatly on the stage, posing for the opening pose.

"Oh yeah, come on!"

"take your time."

"An inexplicably throbbing night."

Do Kyungsoo took the lead to open the show, and the tactful introduction of the voice drew the unfocused audience into the performance. The EXO9 people standing in three rows exploded instantly like fireworks, and dispersed within a second. On the entire stage, they began to follow the sound source to start flexible rhythms and neat dances.

The accompaniment and arrangement are a combination of classical instrumental music and modern electronic music. The guitar and bass complement each other tacitly. With the help of brass instruments, the whole arrangement not only has a strong sense of rhythm, but also makes people feel a delicate and gentle elegant demeanor.

Although this song still shows the complex and frequent stage moves that EXO is famous for and has been touted by fans for a long time, every change of formation is as dazzling as a butterfly wearing flowers.

But generally speaking, the overall dance moves are not difficult. Among all EXO’s main dance songs, they are relatively simple. The dance moves are exquisite and generous, and the ups and downs of waving and kicking seem to have some classical Broadway opera style. , using the simplest and most straightforward dance to show her own charm and the surging emotions in her heart.

"Oh!"

"This road is the extended show."

"Looking at me, the eyes are as bright as stars."

"Just love me right, Uh huh, baby love right Uh huh"

"Come to me, don't hesitate, you are my enchanting world."

"Just love me right, Uh huh"

"My universe is all about you."

From the beginning of this song, there was a happy and relaxed atmosphere brewing on the whole stage, especially when it came to the chorus. From the beginning to now, everyone in EXO has a sunny and soft smile on their faces, which makes people feel I feel pleasing to the eye.

During the rehearsal of this song, the dance teacher and the producer kept repeating that everyone must smile more when performing on stage, and not be greasy and exaggerated, but must smile nicely. How family members laugh, how to laugh on the stage'.

Even though laughing is not difficult at all, they still rehearsed for a long time for the best stage effect.

At this time, the audience can appreciate the unique charm of this song.

Nine handsome boys in school uniforms or white shirts with a strong preppy look and a youthful look are smiling brightly and sincerely at you. The corners of their mouths and eyebrows seem to turn straight into your heart. Coupled with the cheerful and relaxed tune and the generous and neat dance, a kind of sincere enthusiasm from the heart rushed to the face, just like the summer breeze with a strong sense of joy, and a faint happiness surged in my heart.

After all, dance music still depends on the stage. It is really impossible to appreciate this kind of smiling charm purely by listening to songs.

The single lyrics in the chorus are repeated continuously. Although the song 'love me right' has been repeated 23 times throughout the whole song, it does not appear lengthy and redundant under the catchy melody. On the contrary, it adds brainwashing and Toxic.

"yea you love me."

"yea you love me."

"My universe is all about you."

The stage of the whole song ended under the last line of the core lyrics of the whole song. The progress of the live TV broadcast and the live stage were somewhat different. A group of artists have also appeared at this time.

When Chi Jingyuan walked backstage, he exchanged a glance with the smiling Pei Zhuxuan, and quickly returned to the lounge to change clothes. Immediately after the last stage ended, he came up to host the award presentation for the first place he was the MC.

"Great, the stages of the two songs are very nice."

Changing into a white shirt with slacks, Chi Jingyuan took the notebook and microphone from the staff and walked back to the exit of the backstage. Not long after standing still, Pei Zhuxuan next to him whispered a compliment to him with a smile.

"Hehe..." Chi Jingyuan chuckled and didn't say much, looking at JINUSEAN, who was performing on the stage at this time, the last guest of today's "Music Bank".

Today EXO is back, the reason why they are not able to be the last one due to their popularity is because JINUSEAN, a senior group, has come back to play songs during this period of time.

This group is a two-person hop-hop group launched by YG in 1997. The frequency of activities was not high, but the popularity was good at the time. After so many years, the two members of this group are no longer just artists. I don’t know how much effort they have spent. The directors of YG company have increased a lot in terms of income and status.

I just don’t know if, as a director, I have integrated into YG’s corporate culture.

Looking at the two seniors who were singing and dancing with a group of backup dancers, Chi Jingyuan was very curious.

Their comeback playing songs this time is very interesting. The studio version of the comeback single "Tell Me Again" feat is looking for Zhang Hanna from the same company, but only in the first week of playing songs is the stage with Zhang Hanna. Every time I play a song, I cooperate with different female artists to make gimmicks. Today, I collaborate with 2NE1’s Sandara Park.

As expected of a director, he has a wide network of contacts.

"Which song do you like more?" After watching for a while, Chi Jingyuan whispered to Pei Zhuxuan.

Rusty and messy human voices came from behind, Pei Zhuxuan glanced back, because the stage of the last song had already arrived, and all the idol artists who participated in the performance today came out of the lounge to the entrance of the stage studio to wait for the stage, At this time, both sides of the corridor are full of idols, who are whispering with their teammates and familiar friends. Although everyone's voice can be kept very low, it still sounds a bit noisy when so many people gather together .

She also saw her members standing not far behind, pointing in the direction of her and Chi Jingyuan together with a few people from EXO, smiling narrowly and not knowing what they were talking about.

But you don't need to hear it with your own ears, Pei Zhuxuan knows what they are talking about just by guessing.

There was a group of female idols standing behind them, and they seemed to be looking at the two of them from behind. Pei Zhuxuan couldn't speak too directly, but just pursed her lips at Chi Jingyuan who was staring at him, and opened her mouth slightly to make a gesture. He mouthed but didn't make a sound. After he finished speaking, he tilted his head and blinked his eyes sweetly.

Chi Jingyuan couldn't help laughing when he saw it. Pei Zhuxuan's mouth shape didn't mean the title of the song, but the words 'You are my sniper'.

As expected of a senior sister, she looks so good-looking to be honest.

When JINUSEAN's stage was about to end, under the notice of the PD, all the artists except MC took the lead, stood behind them and danced the last short part with JINUSEAN.

"Broadcast, "Music Bank"! The handsome stage with all the performers is over..."

After the stage officially ended and the music stopped, the two MCs Chi Jingyuan and Pei Zhuxuan re-entered the stage under the drumbeat of the BGM and the cheers of the audience below, and stood in the front center of all the artists, and began to host the next one awards.

"Music Bank, the first week of May 2015, will announce today's No. 1, EXID and EXO, who will be the No. 1? Please see the score!"

Under the guidance of Chi Jingyuan, the live broadcast camera switched to the score settlement screen.

Although EXO can still appear in the top three or one of the alternate ranks in several song-playing shows from time to time, but to be honest, the competitiveness of the newly returned popular groups is somewhat insufficient, but it is relying on the steady flow of sales scores It also has a place here in "Music Bank".

EXID, an unknown jerk that Chi Jingyuan once saw by accident on the roadside, is trying to do street performances. Since the sound source counterattack last year, it has become one of the most concerned girl groups in the entire peninsula. The song The "Up and Down" that made them popular has been out for more than half a year, and it has long passed the singing period, but this song can still often appear in the TOP20 lists of major singing shows, which shows its amazing durability and heat.

After they became famous and entered the public's field of vision, fans and passers-by were surprised to find out, 'Wow, why is the lead singer of this group so good? ’ ‘Hani’s performance on stage is absolutely amazing’, ‘This group is really good’ and so on. After all kinds of rainbow farts, they still sighed and lamented why they didn’t discover this treasured girl group earlier.

But who knew that this was a girl group that was on the verge of disbanding during the road show last year, with few people watching or applauding.

But in fact, the EXID people are still those few people, and it is impossible for their strength and expressiveness to improve by leaps and bounds in such a short period of time. All the reasons are just because of the popularity.

It's just that although their comeback title song "Ah Yeah" did well this time, Chi Jingyuan felt a little strange after hearing it.

No matter how he listened to it, he felt that this song sounded too similar to the previous song "Up and Down", both in terms of melody and song structure, only a few places were changed, and the others were almost carved out of the same mold.

Maybe this is the unique style of their group.

"Sound Source Score..."

"Audience Favorability..."

"Then the number one teacher of Glory today..."

"EXID, rough camida..."

The ribbon floated down, and Ji Jingyuan and Pei Zhuxuan announced today's winner together. What's interesting is that EXID's final award ceremony has not yet come, but it was because of the schedule that they left after recording a stage.

"We will definitely hand over the trophy to them."

If a winner is not present, KBS staff will hand it over. Chi Jingyuan raised a trophy in his hand and shook it for a while, then looked at Pei Zhuxuan next to him: "Irene xi, I will be the MC today. How did it feel to premiere?"

EXO members were standing behind Ji Jingyuan. At this time, while applauding and congratulating a winner, these people smiled and looked at Ji Jingyuan and Pei Zhuxuan standing in front of them. Park Chanyeol and Kim Jongin looked at each other with strange smiles. , when the camera's line of sight was blocked, he pointed at the backs of the two of them lightly, with a playful look in his eyes.

They really feel that seeing two people who are suspected of being ambiguous or in a relationship at this time, standing here majesticly standing side by side as MCs, looking at each other and interacting in various ways, is really comical.

They looked at it and wished they could try it out with the female ticket.

Red velvet couldn't stand in the first row because of their seniority and popularity. They also clapped their hands cheerfully behind EXO. Their faces were enthusiastic but they looked at the strongest team leader and relatives with different eyes.

"Well, I have been standing on the stage as a singer before, but today I am standing here as an MC. I am really excited and excited. It is also the first time for Yuan xi to be an MC today, and he must be very nervous. But she still guided me very well in hosting, thank you very much." Pei Zhuxuan turned around and looked at each other with Chi Jingyuan, and she expressed her gratitude after a word of sincere concern.

"Ani, thank you very much for standing here. Irene xi has given me a lot of help and relieved me a lot of tension, Kang Sang Mita." Eyes are interacting, and words of thanks are on the mouth, Chi Jingyuan and Pei Zhuxuan looked at each other for two seconds, blinked, then turned back to face the camera at the same time in tacit understanding, and said together in a synchronized and harmonious voice: "In the future, we will also wait for "Music Bank" Everyone, please love and support us a lot.”

"Guild, we will work harder for the program and the spread of Kpop!"

"See you next week then!"

When it came to the end, Chi Jingyuan and Pei Zhuxuan kept their feet still, but their upper bodies leaned together and leaned together, each posing a cute pose, and said the iconic closing words:

"When you need music, broadcast live, Music Bank!"

"Ahh..."

Seeing this scene, the audience below couldn't help screaming again, but even the ending was a little heartwarming.

After the conclusion, the camera finally took a panorama and the live broadcast officially ended. Chi Jingyuan and the two turned around and saluted each other with the guests and artists behind.

After saying goodbye to the audience, everyone returned to the backstage to wait. After the singing show ended, there was basically a part of thanking the program staff. It was very simple, it was the PDs and staff standing on both sides of the corridor and returning to the backstage. Give a salute and say hello, the process is very short and it's just a formality.

But while waiting, when standing on both sides of the corridor, chatting and meeting eyes, it is also a good opportunity for many male and female idols to meet and get to know each other, see each other or exchange contact information. Chi Jingyuan and EXO used to be in this session I don't know how many girl idols greeted and tried with their eyes.

Although he has never tried it, according to the members' knowledge, as long as they have responsive eyes and expressions, and then exchange contact information through friends' introduction, it will be easy and quick to develop a relationship.

It's just that the relationship under this situation shouldn't last too long.

"Hahaha..." When the two of them returned to the backstage and stood at the front, the XO member who was closest sat over and laughed and patted Chi Jingyuan on the shoulder. Wu Shixun even raised an eyebrow at him: "How do you feel? ?”

"You'll know when you know it." Chi Jingyuan looked at Bae Zhuhyun, who was bowing gently to EXO and then greeting Red Velvet not far away, and replied with a casual pout.

"I'm not talking about being an MC... forget it." Wu Shixun retorted. Seeing that the situation was wrong, he didn't ask any more questions. He and the other brothers stood there laughing and chatting quietly.

After a while, the staff of "Music Bank" came back. PD Han Kyung-cheol even came out to show off his face. After the artists saluted and said "Thank you for your hard work", they dispersed. Ji Kyung-won and Kim Jun-myeon After explaining in a low voice, he and Bae Zhuhyun followed Han Jingzhe and the others to a conference room of the program team.

I have told them before that the MC needs to hold a small meeting with the program team after the show to summarize whether there were any problems with today's hosting, or if there is anything that needs attention and improvement.

However, there should be nothing wrong with Han Jingzhe's expression. As soon as he came in, he changed his usual serious expression and laughed happily a few times. He glanced at the two MCs standing there who looked very good at each other and felt happy and happy. He clapped proudly:

"The real-time ratings have been calculated. At the beginning of the broadcast, it was already double the usual 1.4%. After the show ended, it even reached 2.0%, which is close to three times the previous average ratings."

"In the past, the number of viewers would drop significantly once the MC transitions and hosted. This shows that many viewers have no interest in the MC's hosting and lines, and they all come to watch the idol stage performance. But today's event This did not happen in the previous episode, and the times when the ratings increased significantly occurred when our MC appeared to host the show, which shows that Yuan xi and Irene xi did a really good job of attracting the audience."

"Bah bang bang..." As the PD set the tone, several creatives and staff members in the conference room clapped happily, obviously very satisfied with today's immediate results.

Although the surge in ratings actually has a lot to do with the recent explosive return of EXO, but according to backstage statistics and analysis, it also has a very obvious effect on MC.

"Kang Sang Mita." Chi Jingyuan and Pei Zhuxuan looked at each other, stood up with a smile and saluted.

Han Jingzhe looked at the two of them and added with satisfaction:

"Today's episode is enough to prove that our changes are correct, and it also proves that our MC selection is completely correct!"

…

"Is there any mistake?"

However, after the live broadcast of "Music Bank" ended, many XO fans started arguing on the Internet:

"Axi, what kind of idiot is Irene? Why did she partner with our Yuan? When Xiba saw the way she was holding Oppa's hand and smiling, I wanted to tear her face apart!"
