We knew that one volume wouldn’t be enough, a large collection of the behind-the-scenes of the shoot!
EXO-M - You’re seriously good looking!
Since the start, shooting is something interesting, the important
segments that are related to subject of the shoot and every minute,
every second’s inspiration that suddenly appears will become a beautiful
memory. Da Zui has welcomed countless big-shot celebrities in front of
the camera, it had always been a place that is crammed with stories. But
with guests like EXO-M, “when they come, the rain follows and when they
leave, the autumn wind picks up the leaves,” they’re rare to be seen.
Da Zui, for this particular shot, has been prepared since a month ago.
Indeed, since their debut, Da Zui has already been pondering on when
this group of people would come to shoot. In order for this group of
young men’s many sides to be honestly captured on camera, Da Zui, you
could say that he put in his outmost effort (tears). This time, the
capture of material was extremely successful, the video that Da Zui
captured and the request for an interview, they both were accomplished
and coordinated, EXO-M’s professional groupwork really gives people a
good impression. Then, according to the principle of responsibility that
Da Zui has towards the fans, the scenes off camera were equally
exciting, compared to being happy alone, why not be happy in a group of
people; Da Zui has always had the spirit of sharing, in this issue we
have compiled in detail every piece of information that happened in the
sidelines of the shoot and made it into a inside story of EXO-M’s real
personalities off camera. A! Huge! Compilation!
Making Check!!
Team
EXO-M, this team, together with the staff team that work together with
them, displayed a kind of all-rounded professional and earnest attitude.
Fashion, makeup, styling, details, every step was followed up by
professional staff and every detail was taken care of. The clothes that
were used in the shoot and the tools were all gently taken and gently
placed, the labels and packages were all neatly arranged. Everytime,
after the shoot ended, Da Zui would spend a very long time cleaning up
the makeup room. But as the day’s shoot ended, the makeup room was
already being packed up by EXO-M’s staff — the juice bottles, packing
papers, this sort of rubbish would be put into different bags, neatly
placed at the corner of the door. Even though they’re tiny details, they
show the professionalism and carefulness of the opposing team, it’s
something that deserves to be commended. Under such a team’s protection,
we are able to leave the kids in good hands.
Fans
Fans, you tell Da Zui, no matter how many times Da Zui has tried his
best to make the names (of the artists who are appearing) difficult to
be found, how are you able to get this information? How did you all
manage to find it? Earlier, we heard that the communication between EXO
fans is huge, this time, it seems like that really is the case. Even
though it was difficult to be found, in front of Da Zui’s shooting
studio, several fans turned up, but on the day of EXO-M’s shoot, it
could even be said to be a unprecedented grand occasion. Especially when
the shoot ended, the crowd of fans that came to greet them, standing
outside the studio on the three levels, it looked like all three levels
were being surrounded and in the distance, there were fans playing
<MAMA> incredibly loud — Even though Da Zui has seen the images of
many fans chasing stars, Da Zui has never seen such an occurance where
they would be outside his own shooting studio. Once we opened the doors
to send the people off, we didn’t prepare ourselves mentally and for
that moment, we were shocked. Regarding the situation that suddenly
happened, our editor was slightly worried. Even though there was a huge
number of fans, everyone kept watch of their social order, maintained
their distance and they did not have any physical contact with the
members. Everyone did well with their support.
Interview
Interviews that have been arranged after the shoot by Da Zui are always
casual and relaxing, topics are brought out at the same time as
conversing, there will always be unexpected results, and Da Zui will
always be able to dig out layers of the interviewees that are
unexpected. But regarding the six members of EXO-M, even if it’s the
always victorious Da Zui he’s also committed whispering. The management
company is strict about the maintainence of the idols, and in such
situations, won’t interviewing these people cause people to feel sleepy?
Then, when the interview first started, Da Zui realised that the worry
from before was unnecessary. The kids were extremely relaxed and they
were different from the old foxes who have been in the entertainment
industry for years, the reactions that they gave Big Mouth were all
sincere “you ask, I answer’, they were continuously unprepared whenever
Big Mouth casually asked them questions, the image of them panicking
slightly was indeed, cute. When answering questions, they would look
into your eyes seriosuly, when it came to talking about something
exciting, they’d perk up. When both parties are bickering, there was not
the slightest amount of pretending or showing mercy, they were direct.
Everyone has a little !!secretly kept talent!! It’s just life
Kris: He is tall, in order to balance his formation and frames, he
practices his gaze. No matter the background, as long as it’s for a
shoot, he would quickly make use of his most suitable pose and bend his
waist or kneel down. However, he appeared to be tired and panicky after
being photographed for hours and being unable to stand straight then.
Xiumin: Unexpectedly imposing existence, Tao and Chen are very reliant
on him and at times, even kris will lean close to him attempting dally
time, and also show no quarter of starting PIA.
Two people — Team Dance
Right, this is an era of eternal friendship, life has friendship,
allowing your muscles to relax and blood to flow smoothly, any illness
big or small is cured!
1. The process of Kris and Lay forcibly taking the microphone’s
procedure is so joyful that it’s impossible to look straight at,
throwing what over the shoulder is too high, the microphone stand’s
screw was even snatched off. Those two looked at Da Zui’s twisted
expression, and showed a “damaging stage props and such isn’t a problem
is it” expression all over their face. Da Zui in a flurry expressed that
it wasn’t a problem at all, and at the same time started looking all
over the place for the screw that rolled off somewhere they didn’t know.
At the end! Our reliable leader in a second picked up the little screw
with his sharp eye, combining his hands and feet he swiftly fixed it in 2
seconds. Lay and the admiration showing Da Zui, at the same time,
blanked out…
2. Confirmed, Kris’ body glows! The solo photoshoot’s time situation
wasn’t short. It was definitely the same lighting effect, during the
other members’ shoot there wasn’t a problem at all, but once it was
Kris’ time for the shoot, the photography studio’s flash device (T/N:
The flash on a camera) just started to continuously go on strike
(Flash-classmate could it be that you’re actually female so you cannot
function (T/N: They mean that the camera stops functioning because of
his handsome face, the way a female would) looking at the samples there
was quite a lot of over exposure, the photographers’ sweat fell like
rain. Later after not easily finishing the shoot, it was time for the
lucky fans’ Polaroids shoot, unexpectedly there was exposure on 3
consecutive photos as well. Da Zui clasped the Polaroid camera,
cushioned her toes and (lifting her head is too tiring) sighed: “Kris’s
body really does glow” leader immediately grinned a smile, then Da
Zui’s…… retina was overexposed with light.
3. Lay’s blankness anytime and anywhere name is not in vain, during the
time of the solo shoot when the lens left, he immediately took a mental
journey to outer space. Da Zui reminded him of his posture, and realised
when this man turned his head it was clear that he was listening
seriously and moreover was continuously nodding his head, but his eyes’
focal length didn’t reach Da Zui’s face at all. Da Zui was concerned
inside. But soon after realised when photo-shooting this person, he
would follow Da Zui’s previous orders and cooperate without lacking even
a millisecond, blanking out and being earnest the two aren’t incorrect,
these are special effects, gasp in amazement.
Everyone has a little !!secretly kept talent!! It’s just life
Lay: The emperor of details is always complaining about the members’
carelessness, but this person only studies half way and just blanks out.
Chattering on about how this part isn’t okay and that part isn’t right,
but at the same time he starts to look around at other places on a
mental journey, actually causing people to lose strength (facepalm)
Lu Han: An expert at exposing, using the Beijing dialect to stab at
people’s wounds (t/n: hurting their feelings). Quick! Definitely!
Fierce! From the leader to the youngest, no one is spared.Furthermore,
when exposing he has a ruminate face of smiles, honestly causing people
to have no energy to fight back.
Everyone has a little !!secretly kept talent!! It’s just life
Chen: The Dance machine is really good at making himself high and losing
himself in the music. Singing with Da Zui’s photo-taking BGM from Far
East Movement to SHINee to dancing around, he can even imitate SNSD’s
Taetiseo exactly.
Tao: His Kung Fu is good, his movements are swift. However, within small
narrow spaces, it is easy for him to cause a situation, for example,
when he’s moving his feet backwards and forwards, when Da Zui is taking
pictures using a backdrop, he neatly stepped a large hole through it.
Maknae Line’s Counter-attack
1. Wielding knives and guns, this type of skill has never fazed Tao,
however he couldn’t function the standing mic due to the many screws,
indeed, it did allow his hands to be in pain for a little while, while
Chen calmly took Tao’s tie in his hand and held it tightly, his face
showing an “What will you do now” expression. Although his height is
commanding, in terms of power he cannot be taken lightly. While on this
subject, at this time Da Zui is playing <What Is Love> on the
computer, although he was being pulled at his collar by his tie, he
still sang with a look of happiness on his face, lost in the music.
When Chen let out his high note, the photographer got chills, while
pressing the shutter, he said: “This kid, he sings really well huh.”
The main vocal’s strength has certainly been authenticated!
2. It is always when they’re together playing ball, these two have a
lot of cooperation. When they were fighting for the standing mic they
were still ve~ry~ relaxed. To the extent that they were rushing to grab
and pull the microphone using their heads and clinging with dedication,
Da Zui standing to one side, leisurely remarked, “It’s not made out of
gold, you really don’t need to fight over the mic like that, you are
idols, so act like idols ah⋯⋯” Lu Han instantly burst into laughter,
quietly translating for Xiu Min, who presently patted Lu Han’s shoulder,
seriously remarked, “Control your expressions!”
3. During Lu Han’s individual photo shoot, everybody’s liver shuddered
as they were killed by the unrivalled side-profile. The
photographer-classmate uses gentle words to try and get him to pose
right, finally resorting to the tricks a father uses to trick his child:
“Come turn around and look at me for a second~Look at me~ Good good
good~~” Additionally, the current BGM was <MAMA>, so LUHAN
instinctively began to sing along, but was stopped by the photographer
who was profusely sweating: “Child! Don’t move your mouth!” Little Lu
obediently closed his mouth, Da Zui, who was looking at the
photographers sweat-soaked shirt, laughed heartlessly.
