Chapter 72 Backstage(1/2)
"Fire~~ohh~~"
"Fire~~Ohh eii ohh~"
The intense song echoed in Twice's lounge backstage at "M!countdown". The chorus of the song filled with electronic music seems to be very suitable as an alarm clock ringtone to wake people up. Twice members who got up early in the morning had some songs on the road before.
I was bleary-eyed. When I arrived in the lounge, I didn't know who started to play the song. After hearing the booming "fire", I suddenly became energetic. Several people were shaking their heads gently along with the melody.
Although Twice's beauty salon is located in the basement of their dormitory, due to time constraints, the nine people have almost finished their makeup, but many members have not yet finished their hair styles. At this time, they are queuing up to wait for sister Cody to give them makeup
They finally made the perfect look for today's event.
"You guys are listening to the song that was just released yesterday?"
With her hair in her hand, she was quickly braiding Lin Nalian's braid, who was sitting in front of the mirror. A cody sister heard the music in her ears, smiled and casually mentioned the topic.
"Of course you have to pay attention to XO's songs."
Lin Nalian looked at herself in the mirror and blinked without saying anything. Yu Dingyan, who was having her hair pulled by another makeup artist with a hairpin next to her, smiled and replied. She glanced sideways and remembered something and said:
"By the way, Ernie, I remember that you are not a fan of XO? You must have listened to the new songs of the seniors this time, how do you feel?"
They all know that this Cody sister is half a fan of EXO. She often talks about some gossip about EXO when she is doing modeling or when she is bored. Just about some of the members' scandals, they have heard more than a dozen different versions from this sister.
.Especially when they met Ji Kyung Won by chance at JYP last time, they all clearly remembered his fan-like expression.
"Of course I did."
In her hand, she skillfully braided a yellow ribbon with Lin Nalian's braid. Sister Cody nodded naturally. Her expression seemed obviously interested when she heard this topic: "It feels great, the style is a bit...
Similar to "DOPE" in 2014, "DOPE" was not very popular in the peninsula at that time, but it was particularly popular overseas, so this time it should also be aimed at the European and American markets. Anyway, I really like this style..."
"And the choreography is great. I heard that the choreography of "Fire" was also choreographed by Yuan.
Although the song was released less than 12 hours ago, Cody already looked like he knew everything he knew, and talked about the song "fire" with great enthusiasm.
"I think this style is quite interesting..." Yu Dingyan nodded in agreement: "But as far as choreography is concerned, I think the most beautiful parts are the two parts of Jingyuan Oppa at the end of the MV..."
Although they didn't watch it together after the sound source of "Fire" was released at midnight today, it goes without saying that everyone must have learned about it. As far as she knew, the silent and mute Lin Nayeon O'Neal next to her immediately
Finished watching the MV.
As the most popular TOP group in the peninsula music industry, they are naturally curious about what EXO's prelude song will look like now. After all, they are considered competitors. Of course, the main reason is to support the return of producer Chi.
"Nai! She's really handsome." When she mentioned this, the stylist's eyes lit up, obviously a mature woman in her twenties: "These two parts have already become a hot topic two hours after the MV was released.
"Unnie can see the first stage today."
"Ha ha……"
While they were chatting here, the other side was not idle either. Momo Hirai, who was not far away, might have been a little excited when she heard the music. She found an open space next to her, made fists with both hands and raised them in front of her, and immediately started covering "fire"
The part that became the topic of conversation.
As a dancer, I have always been very fond of the choreographer Momo Hirai who is able to show off her strength in such difficult situations and also looks very handsome. Last year, the songs of "Call Me Baby" were imitated countless times in public and privately in various places.
When she saw the "fire" MV in the early morning, she danced a bit excitedly, but now she couldn't help it anymore.
However, I have to say that as a dancer, Hirai Momo's dancing ability and strength are still very good. She looks really handsome as she continuously steps on the ground with her two feet.
On the sofa next to them, Zhou Ziyu and Sun Chaeyoung were sitting together with Sasha Minatozaki. They were smiling and clapping to support Momo Hirai. Seeing her cheering twice after finishing the dance, Sasha Minatozaki didn't know where she got it from.
A cheering stick was constantly waving in his hand, and the atmosphere team did a very good job.
After a while, the door of the lounge was pushed open, and manager Kim Sang-min walked in. After looking around at the members, he looked at them. Especially the leader Park Ji-hyo started to give instructions: "There are many seniors returning today, wait until the styling is finished."
After that, remember to bring someone with you and take the album and take the initiative to visit them. You must visit everyone, especially Jingyuan Xi and XO."
"Alasou." Park Jihyo made an OK gesture. As a newcomer who debuted for half a year, Twice has done this whenever she participates in singing competitions. She has done this job countless times and has become very proficient in it.
Then Kim Sangmin looked at the others: "There is also 'dan2 dan2' of "M! countdown" to be recorded this afternoon. Don't be idle after finishing the styling. Remember to prepare. Dahyun will be the MC today. I will take care of it later.
The script will be sent to you."
"knew!"
…
Today's episode of "M!countdown" returns, and there are quite a few artists who have made their solo debuts, including EXO, Girls' Generation's Hwang Mi-young, Infinite's Nam Woohyun, Akdong Musicians, Crush,
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In addition, there are twice, I.O.I, seventeen, lovelyz, and the junior group NCT U of the same company. They are coming back with a song after such a long time. EXO needs to take the initiative to visit
, and there were really a lot of people visiting. After we finished styling backstage, the EXO lounge became lively, and the door was almost never closed.
The first one to come was NCT U. It seemed that they were waiting for them. They almost rushed over from EXO not long after they arrived.
"To the world, this is NCT."
"Senior Aniha Saiyo."
Although there are only three people from NCT U singing today, the momentum of shouting slogans is still very strong, and the voice is loud and full of the vitality of newcomers... It is similar to EXO who just debuted and shouted slogans at the highest volume.
Looking at the three juniors from the same company who bowed at 90 degrees as they walked in, Chi Jingyuan and other EXO members in the practice room also smiled and nodded.
We have met them many times and are quite familiar with them, but facing EXO, the seniors and the current pillars of the company, the three NCT newcomers still seemed a little too respectful. They stood upright with their hands in front of them, as if they were trainees being reviewed.
Same.
Kim Junmyeon and Park Chanyeol took the initiative to walk up and pat them on the shoulders, and then started chatting casually.
"We listened to it as soon as it was released at zero o'clock."
"It's really cool. We learned some lessons in the dormitory yesterday..."
Naturally, the juniors wanted to flatter their seniors, and soon several people started chatting about the song "Fire". While talking, under Park Chanyeol's heckles, Kim Doyoung even took the lead in dancing a section, winning a burst of cheers and applause.
I was embarrassed and said, "Taeyong didn't come, he dances the best."
After all, they are all SM artists, so NCT didn’t leave directly after their visit. After being persuaded by Kim Junmyeon, he looked very happy and found a seat next to him to sit down, and started chatting with the EXO seniors in the lounge.
Chi Jingyuan sat on the sofa and looked at the three of them sitting upright, obviously nervous and uncomfortable in front of a group of senior leaders. He couldn't help but smile. He guessed that these three juniors didn't really want to stay here...
He thought for a moment, took out two bags of potato chips from the shoulder bag next to him, and handed them to them on his own initiative.
"Aniha Saiyo...Senior..."
A few minutes later, the door that was not closed was gently knocked again. Chi Jingyuan, who heard the noise, looked over and found Twice's Park Jihyo at the door, knocking on the door, followed by a grinning man.
Lin Nalian and Yu Dingyan.
"Hey Yi Gu, twice~"
As soon as they saw Lin Nayeon, the most popular two people in recent times, and Lin Nayeon, who has always been considered the most beautiful in the team, Park Chanyeol and others looked very excited and immediately stood up to greet them. Facing the female
The idol's attitude seems to be much more enthusiastic than when he faced his junior NCT just now.
Baekhyun came to the side, put his hands on both sides of his head, and immediately covered it with a wink: "shyshyshy~"
"Hahaha..." Faced with the enthusiasm of their seniors, Lin Nalian and the three of them immediately covered their mouths and laughed, looking a little embarrassed. Seeing that the other party was giving face like this, they immediately twisted their fists and said, "shy"
stand up.
In fact, when Twice first debuted, except for Chi Jingyuan, the other eight members of EXO could only have a general impression of the girl group. Excluding "Chi Jingyuan was a judge", they had no other memories.
Well, every time we discuss it in private, I feel that Twice's overall appearance is not good. Only Lin Nalian is pretty good-looking. Several times when we met backstage, when facing each other's salute, nodding was regarded as a return gift.
After saying hello, I didn’t even have the desire to actively exchange contact information.
And as Twice has become popular recently, the attitude has also changed. When we were chatting two days ago, someone was saying nonsense that besides Lin Nayuan, the other members like Zhou Ziyu and Minami are actually very good-looking. How often did they mention it?
Many times more than before, people suddenly became more enthusiastic when they came to visit this time.
If it were a male artist, it would definitely not be like this, but when faced with the beautiful and cute female idols of the younger generation, EXO and others will not be stingy with their smiles and enthusiasm.
It can only be said that it is indeed a big rule in the industry to praise the high and suppress the low. When you are very popular, the popularity and treatment you receive will naturally become much better... The same is true for EXO in the past.
"Senior, this is our album this time..."
After noisily saying hello, Park Jihyo of course remembered the business and quickly saluted and handed their album "Page Two" to Kim Junmyeon with both hands.
"Okay, we will definitely listen carefully when we go back... In fact, we have already listened to it. After all, it is the hit song of Jingyuan as the producer." Jin Junmian first took it and nodded seriously, and then immediately laughed out again.
'shy' moment.
When Park Jihyo was delivering the album, Lin Nayeon and Yu Jeongyeon, who were next to them, glanced into the practice room and naturally looked at those who were sitting on the sofa eating potato chips. They had no special reaction to their arrival.
On Chi Jingyuan.
Feeling the gaze of the two girls, Chi Jingyuan chewed the potato chips in his mouth, smiled at them and waved to say hello.
Yu Dingyan still has short hair, but Lin Nayeon's style is quite interesting, with two double ponytails wrapped with yellow ribbons, which makes it much easier to look cute.
Seeing this, Yu Dingyan also smiled happily and waved to Chi Jingyuan, while Lin Nalian hesitated for a moment, then grinned slightly after a beat, and waved her hand in this direction, but the range of her movements was obviously too large.
Smaller.
"...Our album hasn't been released yet. I'll definitely send it to you when it's released."
After hearing what Jin Junmian said, the three of them chatted casually for a few words before leaving. Park Jihyo thought of something before leaving, and even leaned in to look at Chi Jingyuan and waved his hand, as if he had picked up money.
He smiled happily, then said goodbye and left.
Park Chanyeol and the others sat back leisurely, and took a few potato chips from Chi Jingyuan's hand:
"Tsk, tsk, it's Jingyuan as expected. Even if he doesn't move, he will take the initiative to say hello. The way of greeting is different from us, and his smile is obviously more intimate."
