This question is quite interesting, as if it means something.
Glancing at the side with his peripheral vision, Chi Jingyuan found that the SM staff who had always been present were ready to get up and communicate. Economic companies generally would not allow such questions that could easily lead to misunderstandings to arise.
What this reporter said is not bad. Recently, there are indeed some people gossiping on the Internet every day, but the number is very small, and most of them are anti-fans.
"Actually, for me, when it comes to song creation, it mostly depends on one's musical talent and the occasional flash of inspiration. It doesn't mean that one must have certain experience."
"Especially when it comes to composing and arranging songs, when inspiration comes, I try to work while dreaming. Sometimes when I wake up, I feel that I have a much clearer grasp of the song."
After Chi Jingyuan thought for a few seconds, he smiled and said into the microphone: "However, the lyrics did refer to the personal experiences of some seniors and friends. In order to express the feelings between men and women more vividly in the lyrics, I asked I made some friends, watched a lot of TV dramas about this, and even asked Suzy Xi specifically."
As he said that, Chi Jingyuan turned his head and looked at Pei Xiuzhi next to him. Although there was no communication, the other party smiled calmly and gave him a bright look in return.
"Why did you ask Xiuzhixi?"
The reporter nodded with satisfaction at Chi Jingyuan's answer and asked with interest.
"I think so because she is the nation's first love."
Chi Jingyuan looked at his partner with a smile and complimented her without leaving any trace.
"Haha..." Pei Xiuzhi covered her mouth and laughed happily.
Several reporters also heard that it was a joke and clapped with laughter, and the atmosphere suddenly became much better.
"Yuan Xi, how long will the Yuan & Suzy combination last? Is it a long-term collaboration, or is it just a short-term temporary combination?"
"Will you continue to release singles forever, or will you disband after this collaboration single "some" ends?"
The reporter asked another more critical topic.
"Well, for now, we will not make a decision to disband in the near future. As for future arrangements and plans, it depends on our discussions and communication with SM and JYP."
"Personally, I still hope to continue our cooperation. You should know the reason, right?"
Chi Jingyuan looked down and asked.
"The nation's first love, haha..." The reporters burst into laughter.
"Guilty." Chi Jingyuan simply blinked his eyes, looking like he was guessing what was going on, so Pei Xiuzhi couldn't help but gouge him out.
After several exchanges, the atmosphere of the entire interview session became pleasant, and the reporters came to an end after asking a few more questions.
"Last question, how does Yuan Xi feel about reaching Suzy Xi? What is the deepest impression that Suzy Xi has left on you?"
"Um……"
Chi Jingyuan turned to look at Pei Xiuzhi, who looked a little shy, but did not change his gaze.
After pondering for a while, Chi Jingyuan shook his head and said with emotion: "It's very beautiful, jinjia pounces."
"Ha..." Pei Xiuzhi quickly covered her exposed big white teeth, squinting her eyes and looking very happy.
"What about Xiuzhi Xi? What do you think of Yuan Xi?"
"Um……"
Pei Xiuzhi fanned her face with her hands. She seemed a little embarrassed to be praised by the other party. After she raised her eyes and thought about it, she said seriously: "If I feel... During the period of working with Yuan Xi , I feel like I’m filming an idol drama every day.”
"Then are you the first girl or the second girl?" Chi Jingyuan looked at her sideways.
"Hahaha……"
…………
After the interview, the agents from both companies went to communicate with the reporter to see which questions and answers in the press release of the interview were not suitable for publication, while Chi Jingyuan and Bae Suzy sat aside, drinking drinks. While chatting casually:
"If you praise me so much, you xo fans will scold me again." Pei Xiuzhi glanced at him and said angrily. Instead of thanking Chi Jingyuan for the compliment he just gave her, she blamed him.
"Have you not been scolded badly in the past two days? Didn't I remember that you have disabled comments on your SNS?"
Chi Jingyuan glanced at him in surprise, and before the other party changed his expression, he waved and shook his head: "Miah Nei... But no matter what I say, I will be scolded. That's how some extreme fans are, whether it's me or the company." There is nothing we can do.”
"But it seems to me that Xiuzhi doesn't care very much?"
"laugh……"
Pei Xiuzhi snorted lightly and said nothing more.
Having been in the industry for so long, I have naturally become accustomed to negative comments from fans. In other words, people who cannot accept external comments are not suitable for debuting as artists. As long as they debut, they will inevitably receive various attacks.
As long as you do this business, you have to adapt slowly.
Bae Suzy really doesn't care that Chi Kyung-won's fans keep attacking her. Although she may be a little unhappy and angry, these attacks are nothing compared to the recent explosion of popularity and increased popularity.
"How's your Sprite endorsement deal going?"
Chi Jingyuan took a sip of iced orange juice, exhaled happily and asked Pei Xiuzhi.
As time enters March, the temperature gradually rises. In the past two days, Chi Jingyuan has returned to the embrace of iced drinks.
"The company is negotiating, there should be no problem."
Speaking of this, Pei Xiuzhi was obviously much happier.
She is an artist who is very popular with advertisers. Her temperament and image are very suitable for shooting advertisements, and her national popularity is also very high.
It's just that ordinary endorsements are easier to get, but for some high-end or well-known multinational brand advertisements, the identity of the spokesperson also requires the company to invest a lot of resources and contacts to compete.
This time, through the cooperation with Chi Jingyuan, her popularity has increased a lot during this period, and the communication on several large-scale advertising cases that were previously slow to progress has become much smoother.
For example, being the spokesperson for Sprite beverage in the Peninsula region is a case that many female artists are envious of. If there are no accidents, she should be able to grasp it with this cooperation.
Although the popularity of "Some" this time can be regarded as a general trend in the peninsula, this song alone cannot actually bring much revenue to SM and JYP.
They have not released physical albums, and their income from this is zero. They both have their own groups. Chi Jingyuan is also busy with EXO's comeback recently, and the company will not accept commercial performances for them, and the business on the peninsula is The performance itself is not profitable, and the performance fee is very low.
In addition to the income from music sources, what really brings huge benefits and makes the two companies willing to continuously invest resources in promotion is the continuous advertising endorsements due to their popularity. This is their single this time. The majority of revenue from cooperation.
Ji Kyung Won and Bae Suzy were originally advertising darlings among idols. Each carried a lot of advertisements and endorsements. After this collaboration became popular, in just over half a month, the two companies received a flood of advertisements. invitation.
Many manufacturers value the temporary combination of Yuan & Suzy and hope to take advantage of the popularity of "Some" in the Korean music industry and invite the two of them to shoot commercials or be endorsements together.
In the past few days, SM and JYP have accepted several high-priced advertisements for them, such as outdoor brand beadoor, fashion clothing MLB, Hana Bank and so on.
But the combined advertising can only be considered a small head, and the real big profits are single endorsements, such as Swarovski, which Suzy Bae has recently negotiated and is about to renew, and Sprite, which is currently in talks.
Although Bae Suzy has many benefits, Chi Kyung-won is actually the biggest beneficiary. In addition, because of his popularity in Asia due to "The Heirs", SM has recently been negotiating for several top-level endorsements for him.
What we are currently fighting for is the identity of the spokesperson for all LG Electronics products and the latest model of Samsung Galaxy series mobile phones. The progress is very good.
Both of these are top endorsements that countless artists on the peninsula dream of, and being able to receive them is a reflection of their status and popularity.
However, the products in these two advertisements are competitive and cannot be obtained together. In the end, it still depends on the choice of the company and Chi Jingyuan.
Of course, the most important thing that can get these endorsements is the previous accumulation of Ji Kyung-won and Bae Suzy, such as Ji Kyung-won's popular "The Heirs", and the many TV series and movies that Bae Suzy has filmed, which are enviable. The collaboration between the two has only served as a booster for the country's national recognition.
But in any case, jyp has gained a lot of benefits from the cooperation this time. It can be regarded as a good reprieve for the company whose revenue is declining. It is no wonder that they are so dedicated and serious.
After chatting for a while, the agents on both sides came back.
"I remember that I have to take a pictorial next, right?" Looking at Park Jae-hyun walking over, Chi Jingyuan put the drink cup next to him, stood up and straightened his clothes.
"Yes, there will be a pictorial shoot for the two of you soon. It will be mainly used for subsequent publicity and publication in some magazines. The photographer is a long-term photographer recommended by jyp."
"Then let's go."
Both parties packed up and took two nanny vans to drive towards the studio where the filming was taking place.
…
"Xiuzhixi, look at the lights and not the camera..."
"Yuan Xi, if your eyes are more delicate, it will be higher than the feeling of secret love. Nice, very good..."
"These outfits are great, let's change some clothes."
Under the command of the photographer, Chi Jingyuan and Pei Xiuzhi sat in various poses. Both of them are contestants who often shoot advertisements and pictorials, and they are both good at it. The progress is very fast. Photography The teacher is also very satisfied.
This female photographer's name is Zhao Shanxi. She has an ordinary face and looks to be in her thirties or forties.
I heard that Bae Suzy is a photographer who has been working with their company JYP for a long time. She is quite well-known in the industry. She has shot album covers and pictorials for Wirls, 2pm and Missa.
Chi Jingyuan felt good after taking the photo. This photographer is really good at capturing delicate expressions. He just went over and took a look at the photo he just took. It really matched the feeling of the song "some", and combined him and Pei Suzy's photos are beautiful.
Although he is good-looking to begin with.
After changing clothes, continue shooting.
This time, the clothes have some summer style. Ji Jingyuan is okay, but Bae Suzy is wearing shorts and a navel-baring top, which shows her purity and vitality very well.
"Smile less, don't be too open..."
"A little closer, a little closer, good!"
"…………"
"ok, very good."
After being busy for more than an hour, this time the pictorial shooting came to an end.
"I've often photographed Suzy Xi, but this is the first time for Yuan Xi. I've heard many in the industry say that you are a 'picture genius'. After today's collaboration, it turned out to be the case. It's really great. All expressions and poses are very comfortable." , so dazzling.”
When saying goodbye, photographer Zhao Shanxi came over and praised Chi Jingyuan sincerely. It seemed that he really liked the feeling of working with him.
Chi Jingyuan is very good at shooting advertisements and cover pictures. In addition to the advantages of appearance and figure, the important thing is that he can easily understand the feeling that the photographer wants and give good feedback.
From his debut to now, basically every advertising director and pictorial photographer who has worked with him will be full of praise after working together, and his reputation has gradually become more famous in the circle.
"Kang Sangmita, thank you very much."
Chi Jingyuan smiled and saluted, and after chatting for a few words, he said goodbye to her and returned to the backstage to change clothes.
After changing clothes and coming out, he didn't take two steps in the corridor when he met Pei Xiuzhi who had also changed clothes and came out.
The two of them smiled at each other and said nothing. Chi Jingyuan walked in front carrying a shoulder bag and walked quickly outside.
Pei Xiuzhi, who was following behind, walked a few steps and suddenly spoke, her voice a bit abrupt in the slightly silent corridor: "Jing Yuanxi."
"..." Chi Jingyuan stopped and turned around without saying a word, looking at her and asking Pei Xiuzhi something with her eyes.
"I just have time tonight..."
Pei Xiuzhi tilted her head and looked at him with a smile: "Would you like to have a meal together?"
"…………"
Chi Jingyuan opened his eyes and looked at Pei Xiuzhi who was less than two meters away. Their eyes met in mid-air and they looked into each other's eyes.
No sound was made, and deep breathing could be heard in the quiet.
"Ha..." Two seconds later, the two people who looked at each other laughed together in a tacit understanding. Their bright eyes looked at each other's faces playfully, and the originally cold corridor seemed to suddenly become heated.
They have been pushed and pulled. After being together for so long, Chi Jingyuan and Pei Xiuzhi have almost understood each other, and they basically understand each other's personality.
Chi Jingyuan smiled and winked at her, and responded simply:
"Inside."
…………
In the dark side corner of the parking lot, the lights seem to have forgotten this place, and all you can see at a glance is chaos.
Only when you get very close can you clearly see the two figures hugging each other in the corner. The dim light makes people and shadows intertwined with no obvious boundary, making it impossible to distinguish clearly.
At the same time, there were very light gasps and groping sounds lingering around, making the originally silent parking lot slightly more lively.
"Well……"
There was a muffled sound, and the lips that were originally close together let out a gentle breath. Chi Jingyuan pulled away the hand wrapped under Pei Xiuzhi's clothes, and straightened up his slightly bent waist.
Looking at Pei Xiuzhi who was leaning against the wall with a flushed face, Chi Jingyuan smiled and straightened out his messy clothes.
The close warmth went away, and Pei Xiuzhi also woke up from the distraction just now. Even in this place, her eyes were still very bright. At this time, she was leaning against the wall, and after noticing the other party's movements, she looked at Chi Jing with some dissatisfaction. Yuan, his eyes widened: "You want to go back?"
It's already here. She has already thought about where she will go later, but the other party actually wants to go back to work. Boss, do you love work so much?
"..."
Chi Jingyuan straightened his collar, lowered his head slightly and looked at Pei Xiuzhi who was close to Chi Chi for a few seconds. Suddenly he laughed, took the initiative to stretch out his right hand, and gently lifted a strand of her bangs that hung in front of her forehead. He touched her behind the ear, looked at her for two seconds, then leaned into Pei Xiuzhi's ear, and whispered at the same time:
"No hurries?"
Chi Jingyuan finally looked at Pei Xiuzhi, shrugged, turned around and walked towards the parking lot with a smile, while waving his hand casually to the back: "See you tomorrow."
"I'm in a hurry?!"
Pei Xiuzhi gasped, feeling choked by these words. She couldn't hold a breath in her heart, and her whole body felt a little depressed.
In addition to being hung up and unable to get down due to the contact just now, she suddenly found that she had unknowingly fallen into a disadvantage. The originally evenly matched situation had changed, and she had always wanted to hold it in her hands. I don’t know when the initiative disappeared.
"cut."
She gasped slightly in her chest and slowly calmed down her mood. She looked at Chi Jingyuan's leaving back and waving arms with her big eyes. She snorted softly. She also arranged her clothes, buttoned up her jeans, and finally Glancing at the position where Chi Jingyuan's figure gradually disappeared, he snorted with the corner of his mouth raised, turned around and left in the other direction.
"boom."
"Brother, go back to the company."
Chi Jingyuan got into the nanny car and closed the door with a muffled sound. He leaned back on the chair and looked out the window. At the same time, he said something to Park Jae-hyun in the driver's seat.
The sound of the engine starting was heard, and the nanny car immediately drove out of the parking lot and merged into the continuous main road.
"I thought I was about to receive a text message from Jingyuan asking me to ask for leave from the company."
Driving the car skillfully, Park Jae-hyun glanced at the rearview mirror and joked aloud.
"hehe……"
Chi Jingyuan chuckled and shook his head, saying nothing.
Park Jae-hyun didn't ask much. Instead, he talked about recent work matters, especially some invitations for Chi Jingyuan's personal advertising.
Recently, he has been quite busy as a single agent, just in terms of advertising matters, running between SM and the advertising agency without touching the ground.
I returned to SM's practice room and practiced the dance to "Dope" several times with the members. Not long after, the manager walked in and informed them that there would be a special stage in two days and asked the members to start preparing quickly.
"On March 8th, MBC's "Music Center" will launch its 400th special program. Our stage."
"We are all familiar with this dance. The dance teacher will come to rehearse the moves of the 12 people in a while. Starting tonight, we will take time to practice. We will not make any mistakes on the stage in the next few days."
"Gui, I got it, brother."
Everyone responded quickly.
"Also, Jingyuan, we need to speed up the preparation of the first song. Then you can write a document with your thoughts and suggestions on how to design and shoot the music video for the song "dope" and give it to me. The company will start preparing the preliminary scenery." Li Chenghuan looked at Chi Jingyuan again.
"Um……"
Chi Jingyuan nodded helplessly.
In order to prepare for the new album these days, EXO now has to work overtime until very late every day. It is not just Chi Jingyuan alone, but the entire team of twelve people. They have to speed up the progress...
After explaining, Li Chenghuan nodded to them, said a few words of encouragement and left the practice room.
"Why is it "Sorry Sorry" again? We have covered this song so many times. Fans are probably tired of it. The company doesn't want to replace it with a new one?"
After Li Chenghuan left, the practice room immediately became lively. Park Chanyeol looked a little impatient and complained to his teammates next to him.
"Isn't "Sorry Sorry" still good? You've danced it countless times and you've already mastered it. Once you line up the moves, you'll be fine. It's so easy."
Jin Junmian glanced at him, and said at first thankfully, and then a little helplessly: "Didn't you hear that? We need to speed up the progress. It is estimated that from now until we return, we will have to work overtime every day."
"After I return, I will have to prepare for the concert. I will probably be even more tired than now..."
"Oh, don't talk about these unhappy things..."
"Then can you say something happy?"
"We are coming back soon! Isn't it worth being happy?"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Chi Jingyuan didn't hold back, he sat next to him and clapped and laughed.
…………
As time enters March, due to the amazing music performance and overwhelming popularity among passers-by, the song "some", as well as Ji Kyung-won and Bae Suzy, have become frequent visitors in various entertainment media, and they are basically browsed on any website. You can see their news on the headlines in the entertainment section.
"Recently, "Some" sung by Yuan & Suzy has been ranked first on major music websites on the Peninsula and has swept through major music TV programs, becoming the hottest topic in the Peninsula music industry."
"'Some' realistically depicts the subtle insecurities between men and women caught in the situation of 'some', and it has won the sympathy of many fans."
"The song captures the confusing situation of being lovers but not lovers, being yours but not being you without saying 'let's date'. It appropriately expresses this ambiguous feeling in the lyrics."
"Yuan and Suzy have become a trend in the advertising industry and are favored by many big-name manufacturers. It is reported that several high-end endorsements are being negotiated."
"After a year and two months, Girls' Generation announced their comeback with their fourth mini-album ".". According to SM Entertainment, the members who return to Girls' Generation this time will show a completely different style than before."
"Girls' Generation's fourth mini-album "." has released the sound source and music video on February 24 and 28 respectively. The first stage of their comeback is set to be on the "m! TV channel" on March 6, where you can experience the unique charm of girls. "
"Facing the return of Girls' Generation, I don't know what kind of impact "some" will have on the now popular trend. The competition for the top spot has become fierce this week!"
"White heat..."
Today is March 6th, Chi Jingyuan sat in "m! In the backstage lounge of c》, I scanned my phone and saw this exaggerated press release and couldn't help but read it, without comment in my heart.
He also paid attention to the sound source of the album ".". It is indeed quite good. After it was released, it directly ranked first on the hourly charts of major music charts. It can be regarded as an achievement of clearing the charts, and because the number of listeners is very good, it also generates The situation of audio source queuing.
After all, this is Girls' Generation, and the fan base is there.
It's just that the explosive power is pretty good, but the stamina is obviously lacking. Not to mention the sound source, it's much worse than Girlsday, which returned at the beginning of the year.
Girlsday released its third mini-album at the beginning of the year, and the title song "Something" was hailed as a classic of the slutty style. This group, which had no name at all, suddenly became popular and became one of the major trends during that period.
The song "Something" also caused a cover frenzy for boy groups because of its sexy dance. It performed very well on the music charts and won the top spot for two weeks on Melon. It is the best music record among all girl group songs so far this year. one of.
Girlsday, a group that was disbanded last year, finally got back together. At that time, Jin Yarong even came out to celebrate with Chi Jingyuan several times.
As for "Some", the song itself is very pleasant to listen to, and the lyrics are touching and touching. Coupled with the powerful combination of Ji Kyung-won and Bae Suzy, "Some"'s music performance is explosive, and its stamina and trend are great. It has been ranked at the top of the entire music list in history. It is not an exaggeration to call this music source a divine song.
Since the release of the music source on the 21st, it has won two consecutive music source weekly crowns on melon. Looking at the trend chart, it will continue to be strong.
Girls' Generation's music performance has declined significantly compared to their comeback in early 2013.
Moreover, the company also made major mistakes in the operation of Girls' Generation's comeback this time. In fact, the original time for their comeback should be about a week earlier than now, and the sound source and music video should be released on February 19th.
However, after shooting the mv, I don’t know how the staff operated during the editing process, which caused the data to be damaged, making the original mv no longer usable.
What’s even more funny is that the company didn’t prepare a data backup for the MV, which resulted in all the previous shoots being scrapped. Girls’ Generation had to temporarily reshoot a new version of the MV overnight.
The settings and costumes in this remake of the MV do not have the same care as the original version, especially the costumes. I heard that each member of the original version prepared very beautiful princess-style clothes. It is a pity that due to time constraints, they are not included in the remake. Can't see it anymore.
Chi Jingyuan also watched the music video of ".", and he could tell from the lakey and shady parking lot that he was really in a hurry.
It is true that even small third-tier companies would not make this kind of mistake. If an entertainment company of SM level made such a mistake, I don’t know if it was due to bad luck or bad luck, or because they didn’t pay enough attention to Girls’ Generation’s comeback.
But this is a reminder to Chi Jingyuan that they must pay attention when exo shoots the MV in the next few days.
"Didn't SNSD's seniors return to the first stage today? Why did they directly participate in the singing competition, and were directly selected as an alternate with us? The rules of "m!c" have been changed?"
Chi Jingyuan scanned his phone and remembered that the program team had just come to inform them and Girls' Generation that they had entered a candidate. He couldn't help but asked Pei Suzy next to him in confusion.
"Today is the first stage, but in fact, we have already returned last week, but we just did not participate in singing. Today is already the second week."
Pei Xiuzhi glanced at him with contempt, curled her lips and explained.
Since the two of them had dinner together that day and had some intimate actions in the parking lot, I don't know whether it was because they put down their airs or revealed their true nature. Bae Suzy lost a lot of her deliberate charm when getting along with Ji Jingyuan. His smile, pure and demure attitude, and tone were no longer so serious. Instead, his whole expression became much more lively, and he looked much more casual with all kinds of eye rolls.
But this is good, at least Chi Jingyuan thinks she looks more natural than before.
"so……"
Chi Jingyuan ignored the roll of his eyes and nodded clearly.
He and Bae Suzy still have two weeks to play songs. If nothing unexpected happens, the next main competitors will be the sisters from Girls' Generation.
"Bang bang..."
At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door of the lounge. Before the assistant next to him could stand up and run over to open the door, the door had already been opened. A black-haired head with shawl poked in through the crack of the door, and his eyes quickly glanced around. Then he locked on Chi Jingyuan, who was sitting lazily on the sofa, staring, seeming a little angry.
It was Kim Taeyeon who said that Cao Cao Cao Cao has arrived.
