"Taeyeon, what a coincidence?" The person who walked out of the elevator was none other than Kim Taeyeon. Although she was wearing a down jacket that was obviously one size larger, her makeup was very delicate, except for the thick all-inclusive eyeliner. In addition, there is some black smoke painted around the eye sockets, as if he had just come off the stage.
At this time, she was carrying a bag on her shoulders, holding a large cup of coffee in both hands, and biting the straw in her mouth while drinking.
"Jingyuan
"Seeing Chi Jingyuan, Kim Taeyeon was obviously quite surprised. She looked at her with wide eyes and didn't even bother to drink her coffee. After the surprise, the two of them immediately laughed together.
"Hey Yigu, I haven't seen you for several days, what are you busy with?
"Kim Taeyeon walked out of the elevator with a smile on her face and stood next to Chi Jingyuan. She looked him up and down and smacked her lips. Before Chi Jingyuan could answer, she took the initiative to hold a large cup of coffee in her hand and moved it forward. She smiled at him and said, "Want to drink? "Seeing the straw that had been bitten into a shriveled state, and Kim Taeyeon who was enthusiastic but with a smirk on her face, Chi Jingyuan was a little impressed: "It's so cold, Tiannu, why do you still drink iced coffee, and you still put it so big? ice cubes? "
"Is there any problem?" Kim Taeyeon teased him, then happily took the coffee back and took a sip. She blinked innocently after hearing this.
"Ani, no." Chi Jingyuan retreated and turned to the previous topic: "I've been busy with comeback these days, and there are also some group schedules... By the way, why is there only Nu, Yoona-senpai? What about the other seniors from SNSD?
"
"We just came back from shooting the music video. They went up first and must be in the practice room now. I was delayed a little bit by something, so I was a little late." Kim Taeyeon explained, and then seemed to find out from what Chi Jingyuan just said Knowing the problem, she frowned and stared at him: "Yeah, forget about asking Sunny, why are you asking Yoona? Why are you, a junior, interested in Yoona senior? Don't you know she is in a relationship?" Taeyeon raised her head in doubt. Looking at him, his makeup-covered eyes were sparkling and very lively.
"How could it be? I just want to congratulate Yoona sunbae's TV series for reaching the highest ratings since its launch yesterday. It is really something worth celebrating.
"Ji Kyung-won looks a little innocent, squinting his eyes and looking happy for Lim Yoon-ah. This self-made drama "Zongli and Me", which Sm Company has cooperated with KbS and CC, has high hopes, was officially broadcast on December 9 last year. , after nearly a month of broadcasting, it finally reached the highest ratings since its launch yesterday, January 7, in the ninth episode. 7.3%. A few days ago, their captain Kim Junmyeon went to "Zongli and Me" The crew made a guest appearance and had a role in one or two episodes. Therefore, the highest ratings are also due to Exo's contribution, and Chi Jingyuan can be regarded as being honored.
"Yeah. You are such a... hahahaha..." Kim Taeyeon opened her eyes wide when she saw Chi Jingyuan's appearance, as if she was about to have a seizure, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she immediately broke the skill and couldn't hold back her laughter. She was so frightened. Chi Jingyuan quickly ducked out of the way, fearing that coffee would spill on him.
Kim Taeyeon was obviously made to laugh. She laughed and patted Chi Jingyuan on the back hard. Her hearty laughter, which was completely inconsistent with her petite figure, immediately echoed in the corridor.
"Ah, it can't be done, it can't be done..." Kim Taeyeon smiled a little too much and almost carried her back. After finally regaining her composure, she patted her chest and immediately glanced at Chi Jingyuan, complaining and admonishing: "You can't say this in front of Yoona. She's been in a very bad mood recently because of the ratings issue of the TV series, and her recent love affair has been exposed. If she heard you say that, she would definitely be in a bad mood. I'll be angry with you.
"
"Nay, I only said it in front of Noona, because I know that Taeyeon and Nouna have the tightest words." Chi Jingyuan nodded with a smile.
"Well..." Kim Taeyeon was very happy with this flattery. She nodded comfortably, rolled her eyes, held the coffee with her left hand slightly unsteadily, and waved her right hand boldly: "You What I said is correct, and I am you Nuna, it’s okay even if I say it, Nuna will protect you!”
"Kang Sangmita..." Chi Jingyuan gave an exaggerated salute, and his flattered look made Kim Taeyeon laugh again. Then he remembered what the other party said just now, and asked curiously: "Nun, what did you just say? Going to shoot the mV...are you going to make a comeback?"
"Yeah, even though it hasn't been announced, many people in the company know about it. As our junior, why don't you pay attention to Girls' Generation?" Kim Taeyeon stopped laughing and glared at him, then nodded and said, "It's a mini album. The preparations are almost complete, and the return time has been determined. The sound source will be released on February 24th, the album will be released on the 27th, and the first return stage will be on March 6th."
"Remember to come and support us when the time comes." She finally patted Chi Jingyuan and warned him.
"February 27?" Chi Jingyuan repeated the date, and then his expression suddenly became a little exciting.
"..." Kim Taeyeon is not stupid. When she saw Chi Jingyuan's reaction, she felt something was wrong: "You Exo will also come back, right? No, our manager said that the time for your xo's return will be It should be set in April." Even if Girls' Generation is still at its peak and has not declined significantly, Taeyeon is quite confident about their comeback, but she will definitely not want to encounter any idol in the entire peninsula when they come back. Exo is now in full swing.
After last year's regular reissue of the album was a hit, except for the controversial return of a non-member ballad at the end of last year, countless planet fans are now extremely looking forward to Exo's next comeback, and have already saved their wallets and are ready. I bought a lot and Girls' Generation has been in a very tense period due to the recent exposure of their relationship. Taeyeon doesn't want to come back and bump into Ji Kyung-won and the others.
"The XO group did come back in April. This time it is a collaborative single with Missa Bae Suzy and I. Although the time has not been determined, it should be mid-February." Chi Jingyuan explained with a wry smile. One sentence.
"You and Bae Suzy..." Taeyeon was stunned.
"It's the demo that Noona and I recorded together at the beginning of last year." Chi Jingyuan gave a hint.
"Oh, it's the song "Some"!" Kim Taeyeon's eyes lit up as she remembered it. She was deeply impressed by this song. She liked the melody very much when she was recording the demo. Even after so long, she still remembers it. It came to mind immediately.
She thinks the quality of this song is really great and she likes it very much. Moreover, this song is a collaboration between Ji Kyung-won, a popular top member of Exo, and Bae Suzy, an artist with high nationality and popularity. This combination is really good. It's very powerful.
"This is really unfortunate..." After thinking about it, Kim Taeyeon's mood became a little unhappy. This year is the seventh year of her debut, and it is also a contract year. This comeback is still very crucial for Girls' Generation. The opponent will definitely have a certain impact on the results.
Fortunately, I didn’t meet the big group Exo, it was just a collaboration song between Ji Kyung Won and Bae Suzy.
"Hmph... If you are alone, don't say Nuna bullies you when the time comes.
"Kim Taeyeon quickly adjusted her mentality, and then looked at Chi Jingyuan fiercely, baring her teeth and threatening: "It's your bad luck, you won't be able to get any of them by then!
“Although she looks ferocious, there is no lethality in her appearance.
"Then when the time comes, Nuna, remember to be merciful. I finally collaborated with a female idol once, and I wrote the songs. It would be too embarrassing to not get every single one..." Chi Jingyuan actually felt about this in his heart. This collaboration, as well as the song "some", how confident he was, even in Girls' Generation, he was not afraid to touch it, but he had a smile on his face and didn't show it.
"Don't worry, it's easy to talk..." Taeyeon looked like a senior and patted Chi Jingyuan proudly. The two of them had something to do later, so they said goodbye after a casual chat. Kim Taeyeon smiled and sent Chi Jingyuan to the elevator, waving her hands until the elevator door closed, and then her smile gradually faded.
Looking at the closed elevator door, she sighed softly, not as bright and happy as before. As the leader, she couldn't be clearer about the current situation of Girls' Generation. Various things were happening one after another, not only related to their acting careers, but also to the personal lives of many members, which made her both helpless and worried.
But there is nothing I can do about it. After all, I have been at the top of the peninsula idols for a long time, I have been debuting for so many years, and my children are all grown up.
I just hope that this comeback can meet expectations, win a few more titles, and stop SNSD's gradual downward trend.
Despite Kim Taeyeon's reluctance to admit defeat in front of Chi Kyung-won, she actually knew very well that with Yuan's current popularity, even a shit song would be bought by a huge number of fans.
What's more, this is a song that she will feel is of high quality after listening to it. In addition, collaborating with Bae Suzy will definitely arouse widespread discussion... I don't know if the song "some" will have an impact on them. What an impact it has.
.........On January 8th, Lee Teuk built a funeral hall for his father, grandparents and grandmother. All members of SJ attended and were also responsible for carrying the coffin. Many media came to the scene and took many pictures.
Chi Jingyuan sent a condolence text message on the 7th. Not long after sending it, he received a thank you reply from the other party.
Although the unfortunate experience makes many people feel sorry for it, there is no other way. Life still has to go on step by step.
After these few days of sparring, especially after Chi Jingyuan and Pei Xiuzhi kissed each other that day, the estrangement between the two that they were not very familiar with before disappeared a lot.
Chi Jingyuan's work ability has always been online, but Bae Suzy's expression of emotions in songs suddenly became much clearer. Her voice already has the kind of ambiguity and provocation that Chi Jingyuan always wanted. Feel.
Because of Bae Suzy's progress, they went directly into the studio to start recording after practicing for two more days. Except for the initial break-in, the overall progress was pretty good.
Park Jin Young came twice in the middle. He was also a little surprised by Bae Suzy's performance, but he didn't ask any more questions. While expressing satisfaction with the progress of the two, he also communicated with Chi Jingyuan about the MV shooting.
Chi Jingyuan doesn’t have much thought about the MV for this song, because the main charm of “Some” lies in the melody, lyrics, and vocals of the song itself. This is a song that can shine a lot just by itself. For a first collaboration, the mV can at best be the icing on the cake.
After he put forward some suggestions and ideas of his own, he completely handed over the design of mV to Park Jin Young, while modestly stating that he was not good at this aspect.
"Jingyuan, you Sm have communicated with us that due to your schedule, the release date of this song has been pushed back a week, which will be around February 20th.
"
“However, the specific time has not been determined yet, and there may be some deviations due to the preparation progress of the song.
"Park Jin Young finally talked about the time for the single release, and he didn't mean to complain, it was a normal tone.
"Sorry for causing trouble.
"Pushing the time back will have a lot of impact on some plans. Although it is not mainly because of him but Sm, Chi Jingyuan still apologized softly.
"It's a small matter, let's not talk about it... Jingyuan, when will you go to Xia Kingdom?" Park Zhenying waved his hands casually, with an attitude of 'who among us is following whom'.
"About a week before the Spring Festival, it will be over after the Seoul Music Awards." Chi Jingyuan thought for a while and answered.
"There are still about ten days. With our current schedule, the time is still enough. We will try to finish the recording and MV before you leave. We can discuss the remaining details when you come back." Park Jinying touched it. Touching his chin, he spoke with experience, and finally smiled a little sheepishly: "I've been busy with the company's new boy group's debut recently, and I haven't come to your place much. I'm a bit derelict in my duties." .
"
"How could it be? Without Brother Zhenying's guidance, how could we have progressed so fast? I learned the half-air singing technique from you, and it really helped me a lot.
"
"Haha, you..." Chi Jingyuan had a sunny smile on his face and looked at Park Zhenying with sincere eyes, which made him laugh heartily and pat him hard. "Brother Zhenying, I'll take my leave first.
"Chi Kyung-won saluted and said goodbye to Park Jin-young, put on his bag and walked out of the music room as the other party watched. Bae Suzy was picked up by her manager an hour ago due to her schedule, and the two producers had just been discussing and discussing the matter. Some details about the production of the song "some". As a popular idol and actress, Bae Suzy is also very busy. Her own ability to attract money is also very important to JYp, who is currently in a dilemma. From time to time, she is late and leaves early due to schedule. It has become normal. Chi Jingyuan also understands it very well, because he himself often encounters such situations. He made an appointment to have dinner together a few days ago, but there has never been a chance. Either he does not have time or the other party does not have time. However, the two of them get along privately But it became a lot more natural at the time. It seemed that the ambiguity and provocation in the song had been brought into reality. The two of them became a little closer in both language and behavior. With more close physical contact, not only did they not I'm disgusted, but on the contrary, I enjoy it. I don't know if it's Ge'er's fault or the person's fault. After walking out of the music room, Chi Jingyuan turned a corner and walked towards the elevator. He'd been coming to JYp every day during this period, and he was very interested in this place. They were already very familiar. As soon as they walked around a corner and were about to reach the elevator, four girls walked towards them. Chi Jingyuan glanced at them and saw that they were 6mix, a girl group from JYp preparing to debut.
"Senior Aniha Saiyo..." The four people who were still chatting suddenly saw Chi Jingyuan and immediately became quiet. They started to salute respectfully and bowed several times in a row from a few meters away.
No matter which company the artist is from before they debut, one of the most important things the company will teach them is etiquette. It can be seen that the girls in front of them have mastered it very well, and they are as good as Exo at the time.
"...
"Chi Jingyuan didn't say anything. He nodded calmly to a few people and walked past. Halfway through, he saw Yu Dingyan standing at the back, whom she had just met by chance two days ago. She was a little nervous at this time. Half-bent, Chi Jingyuan secretly looked at Chi Jingyuan with his peripheral vision. Looking at his friend's sister, Chi Jingyuan forced out a smile and said hello: "Just finished eating? "
"Ah... Nei, Senior Neiyuan, we just finished eating." Yu Dingyan didn't realize that Chi Jingyuan was talking to him at first. He was stunned for a moment and then quickly replied and saluted again, looking a little panicked.
However, an indescribable feeling of joy suddenly welled up in her heart.
"Come on." Chi Jingyuan smiled and nodded at her. He didn't say anything, and didn't look at the other three people who looked a little surprised. He tightened his shoulder bag and walked directly to the elevator, opened the door and left. Go in.
As soon as the elevator door closed, Chi Jingyuan vaguely heard a loud scream coming from outside.
"Ah... Yu Dingyan! When did you meet Yuan?
"That's right, you didn't even look at us and just said hello to you. We are obviously related. How did we meet?"
"Ah, how dare you run away?"
"No, listen to my explanation...don't scratch me..." Chi Jingyuan smiled as he listened to the unclear cheerful noise outside.
It’s good to prepare for your debut. Your hard work will pay off, and you’ll have something to look forward to every day. I don’t know when Jiang Seulqi, Son Seungwan and the others will reach this point.
Sm has not heard about the planning of a new girl group recently. Based on Chi Jingyuan's judgment of the company and the current status of Sm's girl group, if there are no surprises, it will probably not happen until next year at the earliest.
By the way, how old will Bae Joo Hyun be when she debuts next year...
"sorrysorrysorrysorry."
"I I I first you you you."
"shatyshawty"
"My wife is so dazzling." In the Sm company building, in Exo's practice room, Team K is seizing the time to practice the dance of SJ's famous song "sorrysorry".
Originally, Exo was scheduled to have no special stage at the Golden Disc Awards on the 16th, and they were just going to perform their two hit songs from last year.
It's just that the organizers temporarily set up a special cover stage of 'Multiple Songs from Previous Grand Awards', where other idols will perform songs that won the Grand Awards in previous years.
Coincidentally, in the past few years, many of the songs that won the Golden Disc Awards were produced by Sm, from TVXQ's "Spell" to SJ's "Sorry Sorry" and Girls' Generation's "TheBoys".
The last assignment was for Fx to cover "theboys", team m to cover "spell", and team k to perform "sorrysorry".
Fortunately, they were all familiar with the dances of these songs before and had practiced them many times. They could get started with just a few dances. The main thing was to assign the arias and rehearse the moves.
Even so, this unexpected announcement still made Exo work overtime and practice late at the company every night for the past two days.
Just after finishing the dance, Chi Jingyuan was called out by Li Chenghuan.
"Jingyuan, President Li Xiuman has told you, right, that the two demos you submitted have been decided by the company to be included in your comeback album?" In the corridor, Li Chenghuan pulled Chi Jingyuan to chat. got up.
"Well, brother, Teacher Li Xiuman has already told me that "INEEdU" and "dope" have been confirmed to be included, and "dope" should be used as the prelude song of this album." Chi Jingyuan nodded and said He already knew about it.
Since the last time Park Jae-hyun called him, he had taken the time to record the demo with the company's sound engineer, and then handed it over to Lee Soo-man.
The songs are two that he selected from the inventory of previous auditory hallucinations that are more suitable for male idol groups. In terms of quality and popularity, Chi Jingyuan feels that they are definitely not comparable to songs like "Roar" , but they are all above the standard and he thinks they are pretty good songs.
"Roar" can directly elevate Exo from a rising star to a grand award winner and prepare to be a top group. It is a male group's divine song that only comes out in a few years in the peninsula music industry. Even Ji Kyung-won does not have so many that can compare with it. of inventory.
This time, Li Xiuman told him in advance that the company had decided that the title song would be "overdose". It wouldn't make much sense for Chi Jingyuan to come up with a better song. It would only be a double hit song at most.
And although the song "overdose" has not been completely completed, some arrangement work is still in progress.
But Chi Jingyuan has heard the sample dome of this song, and he thinks this song is really good. It is a very qualified title song, with a very addictive and popular melody.
If coupled with suitable choreography, it will definitely create a great response, and the results will definitely not disappoint.
To be honest, Chi Jingyuan really likes the melody of the song "overdose". As for the two songs he produced, "INEEdU" is considered a good boy band song.
As for the other song "dope", Chi Jingyuan liked its style very much, and he already had an overall plan in mind regarding the choreography and MV shooting.
The style of this song is really unique, and he thinks the MV that he has already envisioned in his mind is also very interesting. Chi Jingyuan doesn't know how popular this unique song is and whether it will be popular on the peninsula.
However, given Exo's current popularity, they can easily achieve the effect of someone leading a song, so there is no need to worry about this problem.
And Chi Jingyuan also has a feeling that songs and MVs of this style should attract some people's attention in overseas, Asian and even European and American markets.
However, the specific effects will depend on the circumstances.
"Well, Jingyuan, you just need to know... I've listened to these two demos, and they don't sound as good as "Roar"."
"And the style of this song "Dope" sounds strange to me. I heard that people in the record department have been discussing the choice of this song for a while." Li Chenghuan nodded and expressed his opinion with a smile.
"Brother, it's good to hear a song like "Roar" once, there are not so many...
"Chi Jingyuan glanced at him helplessly, and then added: ""Dope" is indeed a bit unlike the mainstream style of Kpop, so it can be regarded as my attempt. "
"Of course I believe in your vision, Jingyuan... By the way, the composer Kenzie asked you to come over tomorrow and participate in the arrangement work of "Overdose"." Li Chenghuan gave a final warning: "This is also what the company wants for you. A kind of care and a reflection of belief in your ability." Chi Jingyuan knows what the company means, and after he participates in the arrangement, Yuan's name will be added to the song in the arrangement column.
In this way, he will be recognized by more people in the creative field, improve his quality and reputation, and the company can also use this to carry out some publicity, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.
However, although it is a kind of care and optimism, Chi Jingyuan will definitely play his corresponding role. He is quite confident in his talent in arranging.
He also likes the song "overdose" very much.
"I know, brother, I'll go there tomorrow." Chi Jingyuan pursed his lips and nodded in agreement.
