Chapter 128 Special Stage >

o. They stood there chatting for a few moments.He didn't stay for long, and he still had to rush to the set. After looking at the time, Ji Jingyuan prepared to say goodbye.Perhaps...Seeing that Chi Ji...The plot of EXO's VCR is that twelve boys from a wolf clan are chained to their desks, and Luhan breaks free from the chains and runs away with a girl. They make it all the way to the stage and reunite with the other eleven members.

The entire VCR seemed to have a bit of over-the-top acting from the members, but that wasn't the focus. The main point was to showcase everyone's handsome looks through the camera and demonstrate their charm. The cheers erupting off-camera proved that the effect was pretty good.

The screams from the audience and fans started with EXO's VCR playback and never stopped, reaching a peak when Luhan walked onto the stage with a girl. The other eleven members woke up from their slumber at that moment.

Accompanied by a slightly eerie BGM, the members forcefully tore off the chains binding them and stood on their desks, following the rhythm with synchronized dancing. The movements of eleven people were consistent, but the choreography was somewhat strange. Coupled with the sinister BGM, the scene at this moment had a peculiar ritualistic feel.

With two powerful electronic drum beats, everyone jumped off their desks and slowly walked onto the stage. The prelude to "Roar," which echoed across Asia, also started playing.

"Ahhh...."

Hearing this prelude that seemed to resonate from the depths of their souls, all the fans below roared with cheers in support.

"Yo, OK"

"SEXY."

It's still Tao's opening, the beginning is similar to the usual "Roar" stage performance, but because of the occasion, all the expressiveness seems to be pushed to the extreme.

"Your breath is always quickened, you wish me to come."

After seeing my smile, are you also drawn to me

When it came to Ji Jingyuan's part, he walked from the back row to the C position in the front row, and winked at the camera. The VJ operating the cameras on stage gave him a close-up shot. Ji Jingyuan, wearing black-rimmed glasses, appeared on the big screen, causing an uproar from the audience.

When he first took the stage, there were no close-ups, and many people couldn't quite see his outfit and eyes. However, the close-up shots on the big screen surprised everyone at this moment.

"Oh..."

A chorus of exclamations arose from the crowd, and many fans watched him with shining eyes.

"I Eu-Reu-ReongEu-Reu-ReongEu-Reu-Reong you"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"I Eu-Reu-ReongEu-Reu-ReongEu-Reu-Reong you"

"If you don't leave soon, there will be a crisis."

After the first verse and chorus ended, the camera, guided by the members, pointed to the other side. Luhan's B-team started the second verse.

Both teams each performed a verse and chorus, but while the camera focused on one team, the other team wasn't just standing around idly. After all, this wasn't an MV shoot; they were performing on stage in front of a live audience. Even when not being filmed, they danced along with dedication and focus.

As the second chorus ended, Chi Jingyuan, who had been off-camera all along, suddenly walked over. He pulled the camera from the B team's filming crew, ignoring Luhan's resistance, and dragged the VJ over by his wrist.

Of course, all of this was pre-arranged, because the stage has a lot of movements and interactions that require coordination with cameras and VJs. So, during rehearsals, the VJ was also present, and the effect looked really good at that time.

Then we see Ji Jingyuan pull VJ's wrist and jerk it down, seeming to have brushed against the camera in the process, causing the lens to shift downwards and point at the floor and his lower half.

While on the big screen, Chi Jingyuan extended his right hand and proactively touched the camera lens, lifting it up and refocusing on himself.

At the same time, Chi Jingyuan's expression suddenly became somewhat arrogant, with a disdainful smile, he gently turned his head and took off his black-rimmed glasses, casually flinging them away. His silvery gray bangs swayed in front of his forehead, revealing his original face. Then, he cocked his mouth and pointed his chin at the camera.

"Wow!"

This continuous action and scene caused a deafening roar from the audience below. The camera briefly panned to the audience seats and the artist's seats, revealing many people covering their mouths and staring blankly at the big screen and stage. Their expressions of surprise and astonishment were impossible to conceal.

Although Chi Jingyuan's previous stage performances occasionally had good styling and memorable scenes, overall his performance style was mediocre. However, today he appeared on stage with an extremely aggressive expression and demeanor, a significant breakthrough compared to his usual self. This created a stark contrast between his current image and the audience's past perception of him.

And this contrast, coupled with his performance and appearance, revealed a surprising charm.

After the interaction with the camera, Ji Jingyuan gracefully stepped back a few steps and returned to the center C position among the A-team members who had already formed their battle formations. As soon as he stood still, a strong beat began, and the six members started moving in unison, officially entering the long-prepared battle dance stage. This was also the first public performance of the newly choreographed dance for this performance.

Every dancer's movements were crisp and sharp, following the beat of the drum like they had been meticulously carved by a master craftsman. Each step was perfectly timed to the rhythm, their practiced skill leaving the audience in awe.

And the center of the team, Ji Jingyuan, also gives people a free and easy feeling, as if he's dancing on the street with friends. His expression is nonchalant and charming, making it hard to look away.

After long and arduous practice, the team's movements were synchronized and well-rehearsed. The six members looked like a single entity as they danced in perfect unison, creating a visually stunning spectacle.

Next, a variation of the chorus melody from "Roar" began to play, and the dance rhythm suddenly became more intense. After several consecutive wave-like movements, Ji Jingyuan suddenly stretched out his hand, walked two steps forward towards the camera, and stood at the frontmost position closest to the camera. The formation of the entire team then became a triangle.

As the variations in melody echoed and repeated, their dance neared completion, Chi Jingyuan seemed to be increasingly entering a state of flow.

As he danced in the camera's eye, he suddenly broke into a smile. It wasn't a laugh caused by a mistake, but rather a kind of leisurely, knowing grin. His eyes crinkled at the corners, showing his joy, and his lips parted slightly to reveal his white upper teeth. Combined with the upward turn of his mouth, he looked very happy, as if he was enjoying this stage immensely.

This sudden burst of a smile brought the screams from the audience to their peak, and many people in front of the screen seemed to be instantly captivated as if they were under a spell.

Team A's dance battle is coming to an end, entering the last finishing touch. The whole team faced the camera and made the provocative action common in dance battles. Ji Jingyuan quickly and forcefully tapped his head left and right, with an exaggerated and contemptuous smile on his face. Liu Hai'er swayed constantly with the shaking of her head, showing the performance to the fullest extent.

After making several provocative gestures towards the camera, the focus shifted to B team's dance performance as the scene turned to a moment between Ji Jingyuan and Lu Han.

…………

"Oh… EXO's stage is so cool, and Yuan too, my god, what kind of fairy are they"

“I can’t do this anymore, I’m going to be his fan, ah ah, it seems like I know him…”

In the JYP practice room, Kong Xue, one of the two audience members, couldn't help but shout in excitement after watching Team A's dance. She even covered her eyes as if she couldn't bear to look at the screen, a perfect example of an obsessed fan.

Meanwhile, some trainees beside them seemed to be watching the livestream as well, letting out exclamations and discussing it.

While Zhou Tzuyu glanced at Kong Xue after, she pursed her lips with a smile, staring at her phone screen without blinking. For some reason, her expression seemed to carry a hint of smug delight.

Switching back to the stage, B team's dance choreography differed greatly from A team's, but after A team's impressive performance and Ji-seong's memorable parts, B team's performance felt slightly weaker compared to the previous dance.

But it's just a comparison, overall it's still very handsome.

After B team finished their performance, A team entered the stage again. All members quickly moved around on stage, Park Ji-sung and Luhan had a small interaction, waved at the camera with their fingers, then stood in the C position of the line and started the final chorus dance.

The VJ maneuvered the camera slowly on the left, circling the scene as the members performed a synchronized shoulder wave. Their arms extended upward with force as the twelve members moved backward in unison, complementing the powerful chorus variations. The entire stage was brimming with energy and impact.

After moving three times in a row, the members scattered like stars and ran across the stage. In less than a second, they formed a circle on stage. 池景源 stood at the front facing the camera, smiling and using his hands to make three gestures while powerfully saying their group name:

"E."

"X."

"O."

"EXO!"

At this point, the audience was already hyped up beyond belief. Many fans were so excited they could barely contain themselves. When this familiar part came, everyone shouted EXO's name in unison with Ji-seong, their voices echoing through the exhibition hall like a tsunami, reverberating for a long time.
