Chapter 682 It Will End Sooner or Later

“You can call me monster!”

He didn’t have the smile and warmth that he usually had on stage. His expression was dull, his eyes were cold and a little provocative.

He was like a high god, casually inviting everyone to “call me a monster”, but he didn’t care about other people’s opinions at all.

Dark makeup and clothes, dim and hazy lighting, against the backdrop of intense music and rising-pitched singing, coupled with Chi Jingyuan’s facial expressions and movements, at this moment, this close-up before the chorus brought fans and audiences a very strong sense of impact.

“Ahhh…”

The screams suddenly sounded in tacit understanding, and the fans who were originally seriously appreciating the stage were shocked by this killing part and couldn’t hold back their excitement.

And it was obviously not just ordinary fans, Jin Zhini, who was watching the live broadcast in the practice room, was also A for a while. The live broadcast had a close-up shot, which seemed to bring a stronger feeling than the scene. She felt that Chi Jingyuan’s close-up part was too impactful.

Just as she was about to say something, she heard another exclamation from the side:

"Wow, this movement..."

She quickly calmed down and looked over:

After singing his part, Chi Jingyuan stood in the C position. "Monster" directly entered the climax of the chorus, and the "human" formation lined up in a row, and began an amazing group dance under the lead of the C position.

"I'm creeping in your heart babe"

Cross your arms, shake your fingers, cross your legs, and lift one foot to continuously stomp on the ground.

Various sharp choreography was displayed very smoothly. At a glance, everyone's movements were at the same frequency. Just looking at it, it felt very difficult. The unique choreography directly pushed the atmosphere of the stage to a climax under the uniform interpretation of the group dance.

Among the entire stage, Chi Jingyuan, who was standing in the center and leading the dance, was the most eye-catching. His figure was tall and smooth, and his makeup and clothes were dark. Especially his face, which showed a completely different feeling after he lost his signature smile and became aloof. In the indifference, he was even more aggressive, which made fans excited.

At this time, although there were nine people on the stage, the one in the C position was too eye-catching. His face alone was so handsome that people admired him. Some actions were better when performed by him, which made many people stare at him and couldn't move away.

It was a pity that because today was a showcase, he couldn't put on makeup in advance, and he didn't have time to change clothes, so Chi Jingyuan and others didn't put on the most distinctive battle-damaged makeup for this comeback on this first stage.

Otherwise, with Chi Jingyuan's part, I don't know how many fans would have increased in the circle just for his appearance.

After a series of wonderful group dances, the team on the left side of the "human" shape suddenly took the lead of Chi Jingyuan, and a row of people stepped out neatly.

The team on the right did not follow, but went straight through the middle from the opposite direction. The "human" formation that was very neat just now seemed chaotic but simple and neat. Many people didn't see what was going on, and it instantly turned into an "X" position.

And X happened to be the character of EXO's team name.

"Oh my!"

The audience who saw it clearly couldn't help but exclaim immediately. The stage of "Monster" has been full of surprises since the beginning. It always feels like you can't see enough. At this time, this "X"-shaped choreography is even more amazing. It was completed so smoothly, it was really cool.

Then look down, with the music and singing, as the whole choreography is presented, more and more audiences are excited and more satisfied with the stage of this song.

Unlike the choreography, stage and even music of most other boy groups, people can roughly know what is going on after taking a look. This time, EXO showed many very novel and avant-garde movements and positions in the stage of "Monster", which is very imaginative.

This is something that is hard to see in some boy band performances. Even for fans and audiences in the Kpop music industry who are familiar with dance music, it is a performance that can surprise them.

The choreography of "Monster" this time was done in cooperation with a very powerful choreography team from SM and Ami. It was completed by working together around the theme style of this song and the characteristics of EXO. Many movements and positions are very exciting and have a strong style, which is also the soul of this dance music.

Standing in a herringbone shape, cross your legs and keep your upper body still, and stomp the ground four times continuously.

The whole team moves in an X shape.

Kim Junmyeon rushed forward alone, and the eight people swayed with their backs to the crowd.

Backwards around the center line and around the stage, changing positions very smoothly like translation.

Sitting on the ground, turning on the spot with the palm of your hand as the fulcrum.

Even Park Chanyeol played acrobatics, jumping directly from the human ladder formed by Wu Sehun and several members, and jumped to the front of the stage like a flying fish to start rap.

Almost every wonderful movement can cause a burst of unbridled cheers and screams. Although it is the first time to see this song performed, the standard cheering frequency and unified cheering vocabulary among fans have not yet been developed, but there is no need for these. The atmosphere of this first stage is already explosive, and the reaction in the live broadcast room is not much different.

At the end of Park Chanyeol and Oh Sehun's rap duet, the drumbeat and rhythm became faster and faster, and they were about to reach a peak and seemed about to explode, but all the music suddenly stopped and stopped. .

At this moment, Chi Jingyuan's shouting voice sounded again, ethereal and eye-catching in the quiet accompaniment, with a hint of madness, and appeared in everyone's hearts in an instant:

"You can call me monster!"

The next second, the intense music sounded again, seamlessly, as if it had never stopped. There was also the brilliant brilliance of the explosion of fireworks, and with a high-five from Chi Jingyuan and Kim Jong-in in the center of the stage, the last nine people started the group dance of the last chorus, and the whole song was on stage. The performance was at its peak.

After the passionate chorus, the melody suddenly became deeper at the end.

"Creeping creeping creeping."

"Creeping creeping creeping."

In the dim light, they sang the lyrics softly, and the melodious tones kept repeating, and their voices became lower and lower, as if they were telling something.

Cold-blooded monsters, after hunting in the emotional hunting ground, have to return to their nests to rest.

At the end of the stage, everyone walked around and performed the ending action. Kim Junmyeon and Kim Minseok squatted in front, and the other seven people stood behind. Chi Kyungwon stood in the middle to the right, against the light, and raised the final stage with the others. He lowered his chin and breathed lightly.

A second later, the stage ends and the lights come on.

Accompanied by this was the waving Ali stick that was about to fly out, and the deafening cheers of the two thousand spectators at the scene.

"Ahhhhh..."

"Ahhhh..."

"Do you like this song?"

"Inside!"

"Are you satisfied?"

"satisfy!"

Feeling the shocking cheers, Chi Jingyuan stood in a row with other members on the stage, sweat dripping from his forehead, and water droplets streaked along his cheeks and dripped on the ground.

The temperature has been getting higher and higher since June. After performing such an intense dance while wearing two layers of stage clothes, his whole body felt extremely hot, and it felt like his long sleeves were soaked with sweat.

But even though it was very hot and a little tired now, he couldn't help but chuckle when he saw the reaction from the audience.

To be honest, although I am very confident in myself and the group, I still feel a little nervous every time I release a new album or new work in front of the audience. It is a kind of work being checked and evaluated by teachers or reviewers. The unique anxiety at the time.

But at this time, the enthusiasm of the audience gave him great encouragement, which made him feel relieved.

The stages for the two title songs were all completed, and the other tracks included in this album were also introduced. The main task of this showcase has been completed. We chatted for a while and even shared a piece of the third album together. After the memorial cake, the live broadcast came to an end, and Kim Junmyeon took the lead in saying goodbye.

"Then this showcase is almost over."

"Today is June 8, 2016, and it's ten o'clock now..." Jin Junxian looked at his watch: "Two hours later, at zero o'clock tomorrow, the MV and sound source of the third album will be released at the same time. Please Please pay attention.”

Kim Jong Dae also said, "Starting from tomorrow, we will hold formal activities with everyone. I hope everyone will support me."

"We will definitely work harder and hope to satisfy everyone."

Several other members also interacted with fans and gave speeches to promote their upcoming third album comeback.

No matter whether the group is popular, it still needs to be promoted.

"Then let's say goodbye one last time." Jin Junmian nodded and was about to say the final farewell. At this time, Byun Baekhyun next to him suddenly suggested: "Then we are just like newcomers who have just debuted, and we are very polite when greeting each other. It’s courageous, but it’s not very neat.”

"Ahhhh...'

Although the fans were very excited, his statement was obviously questioned by other members: "Not neat? Wasn't the greeting when we first debuted very neat?"

"It's obviously very neat."

"Arnie, it's not tidy at all."

Park Chanyeol recalled with a smile at this time: "I remember when we were newcomers, we didn't even need a microphone to say 'we are one', we just shouted it out, especially the 'one', which was very loud. "

When he spoke, he also deliberately increased the volume of one, as if he was shouting.

"Then let's take off the microphone and do it once, and it must be louder."

"I think it's good."

With one sentence from each person, it was quickly confirmed. Kim Junmyeon looked around and began to say his final farewell: "Then please support this regular third album "EX'ACT". Let's stop here today."

"This is EXO..."

At this point, Chi Jingyuan, together with all the other members, smiled and moved the headset away from their mouths. Without the use of microphones and speakers, they shouted out purely with their voices: "We are one, Kang Sang Mida."

The fans in the audience suddenly felt a little sensational, especially some who had been fans for many years, and they all cheered forgetfully.

Chi Jingyuan laughed happily and shouted very hard. Inexplicably, he seemed to have returned to the rookie period four years ago.

It's true that at that time, there was no need for a microphone when introducing.

…

The live broadcast of the showcase ended. In the excited statistics of the V LIVE staff, this live broadcast once again set the highest record since the launch of V LIVE with more than 5 million viewers and nearly 1 billion love likes.

However, except for some fans who wrote down the data and posted big-character posters to slap people in the face, this record was not paid much attention at this time. Everyone was enthusiastically discussing the new album songs performed by EXO in the showcase just now on the Internet and in the fan club, especially the two title songs "Miss" and "Monster".

"I watched the live broadcast in its entirety and was really happy. In addition to the satisfying songs, the interactions between the members were so cute."

"Monster is simply my god! The arrangement is amazing, and the top song of the group in my mind has appeared!"

"It's not even the top one. "Monster" is obviously a dance song with a strong style. This kind of song is not easy to become a hit song, but this comeback is definitely the peak makeup since EXO debuted. There is no doubt that every member is too handsome."

"The choreography and arrangement of "Monster" can be regarded as gods. This stage alone directly opened up a level from other boy groups. This time the dark style is really too feeling."

" I'm a passerby, I don't have any feelings for EXO, I just watched it for fun, but "Missing" is really nice, I listened to it once, I can basically sing the chorus, Chi Jingyuan's rap is also very good, I just placed an order for the album, and I will play the single for at least one week after the audio is released. "

"I'm a new fan, I just watched the showcase, although the oppas and the stage are really handsome, but will a lyric song and a dance song affect the results?"

"I can only say that new fans are still inexperienced. If you are a fan of EXO, the last thing you have to worry about is the results."

The popularity is getting higher and higher. Before the album was released and the MV was not released, it had already occupied several entries on the hot search. Among them, the most eye-catching ones are # EXO's third album, # EXO's "monster", and there are related hot searches such as # Yuan is too handsome, # Yuan said to call him monster.

It's just that Chi Jingyuan didn't have time to see it at the moment, otherwise his face would definitely be red for a while.

Two hours later, when the discussion online was the most enthusiastic and the fans were the most eager, SM released all the audio and MV of EXO's third album "EX'ACT" on time. Fans who had been anxiously waiting for who knows how long clicked in as soon as possible after refreshing the web page countless times.

This time, the MV of "Missing" is relatively independent, shot in the style of a lyrical song, without more concepts and metaphors, while the concept of the MV of "Monster" continues last year's second album, showing EXO's story after losing superpowers through various photography techniques and obscure hints.

In the MV, the struggle and powerlessness of all members when they lost their superpowers and were captured are shown through flashbacks. The scenes of being injured one by one in the battle, being caught and locked up also make people despair, and the final rescue also sublimates the theme of shouldering each other's destiny. In the end, everyone escaped, walked side by side against the light, and walked into the deep darkness where the future could not be seen. Many people were moved and immediately became the new favorite of many fans.

The plot and concept are in the same vein. Fans who like it like it very much. Every time they explore it, they feel like they are searching for treasure. When they get to that point, they are very excited and feel that their idol's concept is superior to others.

However, there are actually quite a few people who don't care. Many people only know the superpower joke of EXO. After all, it is too famous and is the symbol of the entire group. They don't understand the specific concepts of other albums at all, and they are not interested. Every time they just listen to the songs and watch the MV with pure appreciation.

And this time, the MV of "Monster" has achieved a balance to some extent. Whether it is the concept, the dance, or even the whole MV picture, it is very good. The first feeling after watching the MV is that this MV is really shot very carefully, full of avant-garde concepts and camera switching. Various costumes, props, shapes and backgrounds can be seen at a glance that a lot of resources have been invested. The overall lens is full of texture, without any perfunctory or cheap feeling. At a glance, it is obviously a level higher than other boy group MVs in all aspects.

After appreciating it, whether you are a fan or not, you can only sigh in your heart:

This is the level that a top-level boy group MV should have.

"So cool, lip ring, face chain, battle-damaged makeup... ahhhh."

"The back view at the end is really awesome, SM is really good."

"I don't know how the results are, this popularity should explode, right? Why hasn't the audio been released yet?"

As fans frantically watched YouTube and replayed it, the major audio charts of Peninsula were refreshed in an hour. "Monster" was all killed in real time on the eight major audio charts, and "Miss You" ranked second. All ten songs were listed in the top ten of seven charts.

With the release of the album, the ranking of the pre-release song "Fire", which has been released for three weeks, also began to soar, directly re-entering the inner circle, and occupying the top throne with other album songs. Looking from top to bottom on the Melon real-time chart, all of them have the same "EX'ACT" three-album logo, and the singers' names are also in a row of EXO.

No matter how popular the songs were a day ago, or how many people listened to them, they were all suppressed by an album at this time. Although the ranking may fluctuate after the popularity, it will rise or change, but at this moment, the picture of the top ten of the entire list is all the names of a group still brings a lot of shock to people, and unconsciously produces a feeling of the king's return.

As long as we return, in the world of Kpop, you will be suppressed by me.

However, when many people see the singer's name, they still think it is normal and there is nothing unexpected. Even black fans can only secretly complain with jealousy:

'The rubbish rules of the Guabang are not fair at all. More fans mean more advantages. When will the version be revised? ’

‘The group relies on fans to brush up, don’t a bunch of female data workers have their own things to do every day? Does SM pay you? The official doesn’t care, is there any justice? Kpop will be finished sooner or later! ! ’

‘It’s finished! It’s been finished since last year! ’

‘It means that our big stick has not returned, otherwise you will be in trouble. ’ and other sour words and YY.

When the music sources of SM artists are getting worse and worse, EXO, a boy group, has stood up to save the company’s poor reputation in terms of music sources through its own super high popularity. In the case of the overall disadvantage of boy groups in the music industry, it has unknowingly presented a picture that makes people laugh and secretly admire.
