Chapter 353 Where are you(1/3)
?
"Are you going back to the peninsula early tonight?"
After Pei Zhuxuan sent the message, she was a little dazed. She sat cross-legged against the wall, holding the mobile phone in her hand and breathing heavily.
EXO is currently at the MAMA in Hong Kong Island. Even if they wait for the ceremony to end, if there is no other schedule there, according to the usual practice, they should go to a dinner party to celebrate, stay one night, and then fly back the next day. If there is a schedule,
Stay more time.
However, Bae Joo-hyun remembered that when she was messaging Ji Kyung-won a few days ago, she heard him casually mention that he might have to come back early after MAMA and would return to the set the next morning to participate in filming.
At that time, she just listened casually and made some impression, but now she thought of the news like a conditioned reflex.
She also knew that EXO was performing on stage now and would attend the award ceremony later. It was impossible to reply now, but Bae Zhuhyun still held the phone and didn't want to put it down. She looked at it from time to time with some anxiety in her heart. She didn't know why but just looked away.
, after a while I always feel the phone ringing.
While all kinds of thoughts were surging and complicated in her mind, EXO had already entered the next stage of "Addicted". Although she lowered her head and did not look at the screen on her mobile phone, the familiar and somewhat familiar sound kept coming from her earphones.
Chilling lyrics:
"Someone call the doctor and catch me and tell me so."
"Emotions are nothing more than a disease, a poisoning, an addiction."
"As time goes by, it becomes increasingly difficult to control."
"Gradually sinking deeper into the depths."
"Too much you, your love, this is poison, it's overdose..."
…………
During Kai's solo dance, the other members returned to the backstage and put on their prepared silver-white long-sleeved suits. They took the opening pose on the elevator and then slowly went up. The stage for the last song "Addicted" was also
Then it begins.
Nine choreographers after the adaptation.
The addictive stage is more conventional. It doesn't have the impressive lantern scenery of "Let It Be" just now. There are not many gimmicks except that Kai dances barefoot, and it doesn't look like the long separation of "dope".
During the reunion, "Addiction" was the title song and they performed it too many times.
Although the cheers were very enthusiastic and the fans were very excited, it seemed that many people were still immersed in the amazing stage of "Let It Be" just now, and did not come out from the shocking a cappella harmony at the end. They always felt that
The support below seems to be missing something.
Because of Tao's departure, only Chi Jingyuan was left in the middle of the face-tapping dance, and no one did the final somersault ending. This made some Allies who were used to XO stage performances feel a little complicated after seeing it.
The performance of "Addicted" was completed amidst warm cheers. As the oversized maze logo appeared again on the curtain behind the stage, the lights gradually dimmed, and EXO's stage ended.
"Thank you for your hard work!"
When I returned to the backstage, the assistants hurriedly came to greet me and handed over the prepared water and drinks, and the manager also shouted with a smile.
Chi Jingyuan let a cody sister wipe his sweat, unscrewed the bottle cap and drank a few gulps. It was really tiring to have three stages together, even if the middle song "Let It Be" didn't require dancing
, but as a lead singer, he is actually not very relaxed.
Lee Seung-hwan patted several people on the shoulders one after another, and loudly explained at the same time: "Take a break. After 2PM collects the awards, we will go to the artist booth to prepare for the final grand award."
"Inside."
With a relaxed response, EXO and the others collapsed on the sofa in the lounge and took a short rest. It didn't take long for them to collect their awards at 2PM, and returned to the artist booth after being notified by the staff.
.
When they sat down at the artist's seat, the performance had already started on the stage. It was Taeyang's solo stage for "Eyes, Nose, Mouth", and there would be a duet performance with GD later.
GD and Taeyang formed BigBang's sub-unit GD
Generally speaking, this song only has one-on-one success in singing competitions, but the popularity and evaluation of this song are very high. The YouTube data, especially the MV clicks, are very high, and the digital sales are also very good, which can be regarded as causing quite a stir.
repercussions.
The stage of "Eyes, Nose, Mouth" was nothing special, but the collaboration stage between G-Dragon and Taeyang that followed surprised many people in the artist gallery.
Quan Zhilong was wearing a plush coat. The rap before the performance of "Good Boy" did not sing the lyrics that were originally supposed to be sung, but directly came a changed rap from the organizer of diss MAMA:
"Long time no see MAMA, the battle formation is quite big."
"I'm afraid the children will fight, so divide your pork well."
"..."
In addition to dissing the organizer in person during the more than one-minute rap prelude, he also responded to the constant calls for him to participate in the rap show "show me the money". The audience did not understand the lyrics, but there were not many.
Thoughts, but the people watching the live broadcast on the peninsula were severely surprised, especially many of the idols sitting in the artist's seat at this time had shocked expressions on their faces, and some did not understand what was going on.
Even though several members of EXO wanted to discuss it, it was difficult for them to communicate when the camera was staring at them and they could only show standard smiles.
However, several people from the winners were very excited after hearing it. They stood up and started dancing to support their company seniors on the stage. They seemed very excited and cool about the diss segment on this stage.
Aside from this diss, G-Dragon and Taeyang’s performances on stage were also very contagious. The two songs “Good Boy” and “Pokémon” were very suitable for heating up the atmosphere, which instantly made the audience enthusiastic.
Very hot.
EXO is the penultimate performer of all the performances in this MAMA, while GD Taeyang is the last one to perform. The cards are full, after all, seniority and Big Bang's name are here.
After the two performed, the award presenters came on stage with the expectations of all the fans and audience.
It stands to reason that at the end of the last stage, the awarding of the remaining two grand awards will be held, but for some reason, the organizer suddenly added a temporary link and added a new award called 'the most r vocalist'.
After hearing this, Jingyuan thought for a while but still didn't understand what this award was. He had never heard of this award in the previous awards.
Translated, it should be ‘the most popular lead singer’, but shouldn’t the best solo and best group have been announced? Where did this ‘lead singer’ come from?
Just by hearing the name, I think the value of this award is very average, and it sounds like a wild award made up on the fly.
In the enthusiastic announcement of the award presenter, the award was awarded to IU.
IU also looked a little surprised, her expression obviously changed, but she quickly adjusted herself and walked up with a smile. The audience was also a little confused, so when she walked on the stage, they were a little silent, not knowing what the award was.
What kind of reaction should I use to face her who won the award?
Looking at IU standing on the stage to give a speech and saying very standard words of thanks, Chi Kyung-yuan always felt that her smile was a bit forced, giving people the feeling of forcing a smile on her face.
This speech alone took a lot of stumbling to organize, and I think IU probably didn't expect it.
Chi Jingyuan can predict that this scene may become one of the hot searches after today's MAMA, and even now many people may have started discussing it.
Later, the song of the year was given to Taeyang's "Eyes, Nose, Mouth". Actually, there was not much suspense. Although it was overshadowed by "Some" in terms of sound source, Taeyang's solo was really successful.
Last year G-Dragon's solo won the Grand Prize, and this year's Taeyang solo won the Grand Prize again. Speaking of which, Big Bang is indeed the second generation of top men's groups. Each member's solo performance is better than the last. I wish I could beat the whole group alone.
However, last year Li Shengli's solo hit EXO's "Roar". There was not much splash throughout the whole process, which greatly hindered the average performance of Big Bang members' solos.
It was obvious that Taeyang was very excited to win the Grand Prize. He said a lot of words of thanks. Although he dressed in a hip-hop and street style, his tone was very sincere and made people feel the gratitude and sincerity in his heart.
After Taeyang left the stage with the trophy, Hong Kong native Liu Tianwang, the presenter of the last grand award, Album of the Year, walked onto the stage in a handsome suit, causing many audience members to scream with emotion.
Although the three MAMA awards are of equal value, many people understand that the ones awarded later are actually more important. In addition to the fact that there is enough time for speeches in the last award, it can be seen from the level of the presenter.
Out one or two.
They talked a lot as if they were chatting, and Liu Tianwang even tried to sell a few points, but in fact, both the audience and the artists themselves knew that the 'Album of the Year' rating is the most important one in terms of sales.
If there are no big surprises, the award should be from EXO.
Because sales are really limited.
As of November, the Korean and Chinese versions of EXO's second album "Overdose" ranked first and second in the G Chart's annual sales ranking list.
Third to fifth are all senior groups from SM, SJ's Regular 7, TVXQ's Regular 7 and Girls' Generation's Mini Four.
And the third, fourth and fifth combined, the sales volume is not as much as that of EXO.
This kind of album sales that broke the ceiling of the peninsula music industry and completely broke up with the second place is an important reason why EXO had unrivaled momentum before and became the best among three generations of boy bands.
Of course, most of these sales were achieved during EXO's peak period in the first half of the year. Now that various things have happened one after another, including members falling in love and quitting the group, some die-hard fans have lost a lot of money. Can the sales of the album be released again?
Whether it will maintain this top position, whether it will rise or fall, and how much it will fall, is currently unknown. Everything depends on the regular second series next year.
"In 2014, the winner of the MAMA Album of the Year Award was..."
When Liu Tianwang was creating suspense and heating up the atmosphere, the whole place was already shouting "EXO, EXO". From sporadic and sudden, it gradually merged into a unified one, and the sound became louder and louder.
"XO!"
With the announcement, the whole place was filled with excitement.
Liu Tianwang really understands it. He has obviously done his homework beforehand and knows that ‘E’ is not pronounced.
Although it is just a small thing, it will make people feel respected.
All the idols at the artist table stood up and applauded, including seniors G-Dragon and Taeyang. The nine members of EXO also stood up and bowed continuously to the others to express their gratitude.
Nine people came out and hugged each other in front to form a circle. They pressed their arms hard to show their excitement. This action has become a signature action that EXO must do after winning a grand award. It has been retained since last year.
I have uploaded several classic photos and shots, which are talked about by fans and passers-by.
“The winner of the 2014 Ment Asian Music Awards UnionPay Best Album of the Year is EXO.”
"The album "overdose" sold 780,000 pre-sales before the album was sold, setting a record for all album sales this year."
