"hehe……"
Chi Jingyuan smiled and did not answer.
He will not belittle himself either. It can be said that he and Bae Joo-hyun are an unexpected success as a couple. It can be clearly seen from the ratings, topic popularity, CP fans, and Gallup nationality. An ordinary TV show The song program was made like this by two people. It really can't be replaced by just two good-looking people with similar looks.
To be honest, there are really not many people in the peninsula music industry who can replace the two of them... Because other singing programs have already tried it after seeing how popular Yin Yin is, and they are just imitating others.
It is indeed a big problem for the program team, and they have already anticipated that the actual yield will drop significantly after changing the MC.
Pei Zhuxuan sat quietly next to him and smiled softly without making a sound.
"Oh, okay..." Han Jinzhe didn't force it after being disappointed, and then talked about the relevant arrangements: "We will start looking for the next pair of permanent MCs... But with the influence of the two of you, Yi Jingyuan, we will get off the train. Things will definitely not be that simple. The TV station will definitely arrange some special programs with the theme of 'Yinyin CP Gets Off', and we will also record some related highlights."
"Of course there is no problem. PD, just talk to the company."
The two of them nodded together, directly indicating that there was no problem.
Yinyin CP has now become a brand, and getting off the show is of great importance. The TV station and program team will definitely not let go of these popularity and gimmicks.
"There will definitely be a farewell stage in the show on the 15th. This stage is very important to you and all fans..." At this point, Han Jingzhe looked at Chi Jingyuan: "As for the stage and songs, you have Any ideas?"
"……not yet."
Chi Jingyuan hesitated for a moment and shook his head gently.
In fact, he still attaches great importance to this stage. After all, it is the end of the eight-month cooperation between him and Bae Zhuhyun, the two MCs, and it is also the end of this memorable MC journey.
This period of time is very important and unforgettable for him, Bae Zhuhyun, and even the audience who became fans because of these two people.
But he had thought about it several times before but never had any special ideas. He just found a male and female duet song and adapted it as a special stage. There was not much inspiration, and there was a slight sense of depression.
Pei Zhuxuan next to him didn't speak, and lowered his head slightly.
Han Jinzhe didn't say much, nodded and concluded: "As for the farewell stage, let's discuss it with SM..."
There was no "Sound Silver" to be recorded today. After the meeting, Chi Jingyuan and Bae Zhuhyun said goodbye to the program team and prepared to leave the TV station.
The two of them followed the agent and walked toward the parking lot. The agent in front walked very quickly, while the two behind them were a little slower. The person in front didn't mean to wait, and slowly opened the gap.
Chi Jingyuan and Pei Zhuxuan walked side by side, but there was no communication. Pei Zhuxuan seemed a little quiet since the meeting today, and he didn't seem to be in a good mood.
Also, although I knew before that I was about to get off the bus, and I felt comforted by Chi Jingyuan's attitude, when the day actually came, I couldn't help but have a lot of complicated emotions in my heart.
Bored, frustrated, feeling lost...
She really values and cherishes this job, or being the MC with Chi Jingyuan.
Unfortunately, the day to get off the bus came.
"There are only two issues left..."
Chi Jingyuan seemed to feel her mood, and did not speak. He just walked quietly aside. When he was about to reach the parking lot, Pei Zhuxuan suddenly spoke up. Her voice was a little low, and her right foot, which was wearing sneakers, He rubbed the ground a little harder, as if he was venting something.
"Um."
Chi Jingyuan lowered his head and glanced at her feet. He couldn't help but imitate the movements a little and said something in response.
"Oh, time flies so fast..."
The young lady didn't look at him. She sighed and fell silent again. After a while, when she saw the nanny car driven by her manager, she raised her head and glanced at Chi Jingyuan, then lowered her head and looked at the ground. , couldn’t help but mutter in a low voice:
"It feels like a dream..."
Chi Jingyuan exhaled, squinting his eyes and covering his eyes with his hands to block the dazzling headlights of the nanny car approaching in the dark parking lot:
"yes."
……………………
There was no time to stay for much longer. After Chi Jingyuan returned to the dormitory to repair himself, he rushed back to the crew and started filming. With the progress getting better, today passed by in a flash.
"ooHyo and Yoo Seungwoo's "45.7CM"?"
"...Well, okay, then I'll do as you say."
Chi Jingyuan hung up the phone, frowned slightly and looked ahead and pondered for a long time. This call was from the "Music Bank" program team. After negotiation between the program team and SM Company, they chose a song to be released in 2014. A love song sung by a male and female duet was used as a special stage for the MCs of Ji Kyung Won and Bae Joo Hyun to get off the stage.
Although this song is not a hit, the program team feels that the style and lyrics are very suitable for the two of them.
Especially the lyrics, which he had heard before, probably talked about an ambiguous man and woman who like each other, but they just stick to the middle line, and both parties just try to maintain a very measured relationship.
It seems that's what happened...
But Chi Jingyuan always felt that it was a bit too light, and the meaning was not very good. It was a bit strange to use it on the get-off stage that was meaningful to him and Bae Zhuhyun... But he himself had no inspiration now, so after hesitating, he I just agreed.
"Why do you get calls from work at any time... You are really busy."
At this time, Chi Jingxu's voice came from the side. The second brother stood a few meters in front and looked back at him, with a strange sarcasm in his tone: "Why do I feel that you are busier than me?"
Today is January 5th. After intensively filming scenes for a few days, Chi Jingyuan originally had a day free to prepare to complete the arrangement task of a few songs in hand, but his second brother called him yesterday and called him We went to a friend's wedding today at noon and introduced some people to him.
Basically, Chi Jingyuan would not refuse this kind of more formal matter if his family members asked for it, so he put down his work and went over to join in the fun.
Speaking of which, he knew the protagonist who was getting married. They had dinner together before under the introduction of his second brother. He was a young representative director of CJ. It was said that the person getting married this time was his former classmate in college and his former love. However, the two of them separated due to some things.
In the years after separation, each may have had other experiences, or there may have been some ridiculous days, but many years later, the two people suddenly looked back and came together again. They looked very sweet at the wedding, which was really a bit disappointing. Envy, Chi Jingyuan was a little bit infected when he sat down and applauded watching the two people perform the ceremony.
After lunch, a party and dinner were arranged in the evening. Chi Jingyuan and his second brother stayed until six or seven o'clock before saying goodbye and leaving by car. When the car drove to Hannan Cave, it might be because they had eaten a little too much before, or maybe The two brothers hadn't seen each other and chatted for a while. Chi Jingxu suggested going for a walk. Seeing that Chi Jingyuan had no objection, he stopped the car on the side of the road.
Chi Jingxu was wearing an expensive long windbreaker, and his short hair was shiny and looked very stylish. Chi Jingyuan had already taken off the suit he wore to the wedding, and was wrapped in a warm jacket and wearing a mask. Made a simple disguise with a woolen hat.
The two brothers walked in front, and the assistant followed behind. They divided their work and did not disturb each other. They walked casually along the roadside. They have been walking for about ten minutes now. Although the weather is gloomy and the temperature is relatively low at this time, there is a cold wind on the road. It was scratched here and there, but there was a sense of leisure and freedom that I hadn't seen in a long time.
"Then you must be busier."
Chi Jingyuan took back his phone and walked up, and replied without showing any weakness.
"Ha..." The second brother chuckled contemptuously, curled his lips as if he wanted to say something, but held it back, turned around, and the two of them continued to wander forward, although there were no people on the road at this time. It's not a lot, but the two people's upright postures and clothes are still a little eye-catching.
"Is it about work again?"
"Um."
Chi Jingxu walked in front, dusted his collar, and seemed to remember something, and asked casually: "...By the way, I heard from Cui Benzheng that you recently had a cooperation with JYP?"
Cui Benzheng was the shareholding representative he sent to JYP. Chi Jingxu didn't pay much attention to a company like JYP that seemed to have no future and was not very profitable. It was just that he accidentally heard Chi Jingyuan's name two days ago. Note it down.
"Well, I sold a song to JYP, and then I helped produce it for their new girl group." I don't know if the second brother understood it, but Chi Jingyuan gave a simple explanation.
"I heard that you are doing very well in this area now. Have you become one of the most successful idols in the industry?" However, Chi Jingxu is obviously very concerned about the current situation of his younger brother, although he is 100% not following the boy band. , but he is not a noob who doesn’t understand anything.
"...So be it." Chi Jingyuan shrugged and accepted the title.
"It would be nice to have cooperation to bring this 'one of the three'..."
Looking at Chi Jingyuan with a natural expression, Chi Jingxu laughed. He was the person who knew Chi Jingyuan best. He could see the pride in his brother's heart at a glance. He nodded and said: "Success." If we do this, the shares in our hands can also rise, allowing me to make a little profit. Previously, the shares of this company were almost useless in my hands..."
"Um...just do your best."
It was difficult to explain to the second brother that he was really not good at girl group songs and had little experience. Chi Jingyuan pondered for two seconds and pretended to be confident.
"It doesn't matter whether it succeeds or not..." Chi Jingxu glanced at him, then spoke again as if he didn't care very much, and added with some disgust: "How about I transfer the shares to you directly? never mind."
"forget it……"
After chatting about work for a while, the second brother walked to an intersection and glanced at the lot. He raised his head and forgot about an exquisite commercial building not far ahead: "Anyway, I'm not in a hurry to go back now. Why don't I look for it?" A place to sit?"
"Okay, where to go?" He hadn't relaxed much for a while, and he and his second brother hadn't chatted for a long time. Although Chi Jingyuan actually had a lot of work at hand, he didn't refuse and nodded obediently.
"There's a pretty good Qing bar nearby. I know the boss, so let's go there." With that said, Chi Jingxu took the lead and walked forward.
"Is he your friend?"
"Ha..." Hearing this, the second brother laughed, with a warm smile filled with arrogance from the inside out: "That's not enough."
"Speaking of which, you'll graduate from college this year, right?"
"Yes, this is the last year."
"Ah, almost four years have passed and you have been an artist for four years."
The two of them were walking and chatting. After knowing the destination, their pace inevitably accelerated a little. Chi Jingyuan followed the second brother a little bit behind his mask. Many passers-by who passed by along the way couldn't help but look at them slightly when they saw them. .
Chi Jingxu's appearance itself is quite conspicuous, and Chi Jingyuan, who is slightly disguised, will feel familiar to some people when they see him, which makes people want to find out more.
Fortunately, this is a wealthy area, and there are no student parties around at this time.
But it doesn't matter even if he is recognized. If it is not a place where young fans are concentrated, most of the older people in other peninsulas will not have much reaction after seeing the celebrity.
Because Seoul is so big, it’s so common.
"Right here...what's wrong?"
After walking for a few minutes, the two of them stood in front of the building. After Chi Jingxu said something, he took the lead and prepared to go up. However, after taking two steps, he found that his brother had not moved. He turned around and looked at Chi Jingyuan strangely, and then Following Chi Jingyuan's line of sight, he looked towards the corner of the flower bed on the right.
They found a very petite white stray kitten sitting there looking at them with some fear.
Then he saw Chi Jingyuan hesitate for a moment, then quickly took out a piece of dried meat from the shoulder bag he was carrying, walked over gently, and fed the dried meat to the kitten with gentle movements.
Seeing his brother's action, he couldn't help but laugh: "I remember you don't like cats and dogs. I asked you several times when you were a child if you wanted to keep pets, but you refused them all."
Chi Jingyuan hunched over and stood in front of the kitten. He wanted to hand the dried meat directly to the stray cat at first, but he seemed a little afraid of the thing, so he put the food directly in front of it, and then looked at the hand holding it. The kitten started to eat the dried meat. He tilted his head unconsciously, and the smiling eyes on his mask curled up: "I don't like it very much, I think it's troublesome... But this thing is actually a bit like getting along with relatives and couples. , if you see her every day, you might find her annoying, but if you see her once in a while, you'll actually find her quite cute."
Another point is that he is in a really good mood today, very comfortable and relaxed, and everything he looks at is pleasing to the eye.
"You really know how to describe it..."
Chi Jingxu felt that this was quite reasonable, but he also felt that he was being hinted at and gave him an unhappy look.
"Haha..." Chi Jingyuan laughed and didn't stay long. After taking a look at the stray cat, he quickly stood up and followed his second brother into the building.
Chi Jingxu said that the "fairly good" Qingbao bar is on the fourth floor of the building. It is not small in size and is decorated in a British retro style. It has alternating floors and carpets, not too bright lights, melodious music and occasional music. The Scottish plaid that I saw matched each other naturally and implicitly, and there was a strong European style everywhere, and the style was very close.
There were not many people inside at this time, so the two of them found a corner and sat down. Not long after they sat down, Chi Jingyuan was still looking at a mural next to him. A man in his thirties looked quite cultured. The Qing style guy came over quickly to say hello.
"Director Chi hasn't been here for a long time. I would like to have something to drink today. We are here..."
"...Well, I just happened to pass by today, and my brother and I came up to sit and chat for a while..."
"Okay...Hey Yigu, isn't this Yuan xi from XO? If you have time later, please be sure to sign it for me. Many of my friends like you very much..."
Chi Jingyuan smiled and nodded gently without saying anything.
This person is the owner of the bar, and I don’t know how he got the news so quickly. Although he looks like a young man, he was extremely enthusiastic when he greeted Chi Jingxu, and he seemed to be a philistine to please. The literary youthful temperament on his body disappeared.
No matter how you look at this person, he doesn't look like he's following a boy band.
But he was also very discerning. After Chi Jingxu hinted that the two wanted a quiet atmosphere, he said hello and quickly left. After a while, he personally held the tray and brought several bottles of light but expensive wine. , and disappeared quickly without disturbing him.
The two brothers sat there leisurely, drinking wine and chatting.
There are not many people, it is very quiet, the light but slightly sweet wine is sipped lightly in the mouth, combined with the comfortable environment and listening to relaxing music, it makes people feel even more lazy.
Chi Jingyuan feels that the environment here is quite good. The combination of decoration, lighting and music will make people feel very relaxed. It has a quiet and leisurely feeling. If you sit here after being busy for a long time, it is actually quite pleasant. .
The two brothers hadn’t seen each other for a long time and actually had a lot to talk about, including career, family, and academic matters. As the sky outside turned completely dark, as they talked, they naturally started talking about relationships. The problem.
"Have you had a new girlfriend recently?" Chi Jingxu turned his eyes and looked over, a little playful. He was most interested in his younger brother.
"No." In other respects, Chi Jingyuan and his second brother were chatting very easily, but he was not interested in talking to him about this topic. He just looked at the front casually and gave a perfunctory reply.
This brother has no idea about the relationship between the opposite sex. In this regard, there is only one word "play". Telling him this has no meaning other than letting him have fun.
Although Chi Jingyuan also has the mentality of many players, he does not take feelings seriously at all. He feels that he is fundamentally different from Chi Jingxu.
"Isn't that Bae Suzy still here? Some time ago, you had an affair with that Taeyeon, and it was quite a big deal at the time... But this Taeyeon is a bit too old, she seems to have been born in 1989. It’s not a good fit for you.”
"You did a special investigation?" Chi Jingyuan glanced at him in surprise, and breathed out speechlessly after seeing his natural expression: "As for Suzy...Taeyeon is not, she is a senior sister who has a very good relationship. .”
"Then the rumor about your affair was so big? I thought it was true."
"The company must have added fuel to the fire, probably to promote work."
"No newcomers?"
"No."
"What about the Bae Zhuhyun from before?"
"..."
"You mean you've been around for a long time and you still have this kind of Bae Suzy? Then it seems like you haven't had a girlfriend for a long time... There should be a lot of girls chasing an idol like you. Why, you're so old Now, have you changed to a vegetarian diet?" Chi Jingxu was a little dissatisfied when he couldn't find any fun after asking for a long time, and looked over with suspicion.
"That's not true..."
Chi Jingyuan chuckled, leaned on the sofa behind him, picked up the wine glass and took a sip, with a lazy expression.
It is already difficult for him to find the kind of mentality that he had when he first fell in love in school, with his heart pounding, his whole body feeling hot, and his thoughts chaotic and desperate for a girl, and she was the only one in the world.
It may be difficult to find it in the future.
Chi Jingyuan's current state of mind in this regard is very casual, and he will not deliberately try to get close to anyone. He has no idea of actively pursuing him. If he is good-looking and likes him, he will get in touch, and he will not miss him when they are separated, so they can get together and part ways. Most of the time He just sits on the Diaoyutai and does not take the initiative, and sometimes inexplicably and naturally develops a condescending attitude, as if it doesn't matter no matter what.
However, this mentality will also be affected when facing a few individuals, resulting in some subtle changes.
When did it start...
As he was thinking about it, he inadvertently looked at a man and woman singing not far away.
Unlike some other places where there is only one resident singer, Chi Jingyuan noticed that there were two resident singers here, a male and a female. He had not paid much attention to it just now. At this time, he was a little annoyed by his second brother and looked over there. After a while, I inexplicably found that although the appearance of these two residents was not outstanding, their voices were quite good.
The key point is that the two of them work well together. Not only have the songs they sang been changed into male and female duets, but the accompaniments have also been adapted, and the changes are quite natural. The atmosphere of this bar is so good, and these two resident singers There are also many relationships.
The two of them, one playing the guitar and the other playing the piano, looked at each other and exchanged glances from time to time, then smiled naturally and tacitly, then turned around and continued singing.
No matter how you look at it, it feels very comfortable.
"They..." Seeing that his younger brother didn't want to talk more, Chi Jingxu's narrow-mindedness was somewhat evaporated and he stopped asking questions. He followed Chi Jingyuan's gaze and nodded clearly. : "I know these two resident singers. They are the signatures of this venue."
"What do you know?" Chi Jingyuan glanced at him.
Chi Jingxu pointed in the direction of the resident singer and said briefly: "When I came here last time, I thought these two people sang well. The boss specifically said that it seemed that this woman was the only one singing here at the beginning. Later, when the man came to shop, he seemed to have fallen in love with her at first sight. The next day, he took the initiative to apply for a job as a resident singer, and then the two of them got together while singing. I heard that they were getting married, but I didn't know. Is it over yet..."
"It turns out they are a couple..."
Chi Jingyuan understood. No wonder they had such a tacit understanding and seemed so comfortable...
A familiar melody and lyrics came to his ears. Chi Jingyuan became inexplicably quiet as he listened. He leaned on the sofa and watched the performance quietly.
The two of them were performing the song "some" at this time. They should have adapted it themselves, changing the original accompaniment to a form of only guitar and piano. The change happened to be quite good. Although the instruments were monotonous, it still sounded good to the listeners. In the ears, it is unexpectedly harmonious, natural and melodious, with a fresh feeling.
"You obviously understand, don't pretend it doesn't matter."
"Hurry up and tell me you like me."
Clear lyrics sung from both of their mouths.
Quiet, tacit understanding, and sweet, it makes people unnaturally envious.
This is the second time Chi Jingyuan has seen this scene today.
He listened quietly and watched the interaction between the singing couple, watching them look at each other in tacit understanding while singing. Under the quiet atmosphere around him, he suddenly felt an impulse and inspiration in his heart. , another very different melody brewed in my mind.
"Let's go."
When the song ended, Chi Jingyuan stood up.
"Go home for one night? Or go back to the dormitory?" Chi Jingxu followed him and asked while looking at him.
"I won't go back now, I'm going to the company."
"What are you going to do now? Aren't you fine today?"
Facing his second brother's question, Chi Jingyuan smiled and glanced at the sky outside:
"Suddenly I had an idea, go back and work overtime..."
…………
After saying goodbye to his second brother, Chi Jingyuan returned to the company and went straight to his music room. He closed the door and sat down in front of the computer. He put aside the slightly messy files that were originally on the table.
This is the score of "Monster" and several songs. He has been busy working on this in his free time these days.
It's just that they are no longer the protagonists at this time.
Chi Jingyuan opened a new document in the software. Looking at the blank screen in front of him, the natural and leisure scene of the two male and female singers singing at the Qing Bar just now appeared in his mind. And I witnessed the sweet and happy scene of the couple’s wedding at noon.
He thought for a few minutes, and after a while, he started tapping the keyboard quickly with his hands, occasionally pausing for a few times. Instead of getting anxious, he picked up the instrument next to him and played a few notes with his own hands. After a few minutes, he played again. Return to the computer and continue. Generally speaking, it can be said to be smooth and smooth.
He was busy until the early hours of the morning when he stopped. He scratched his itchy cheek with his fingers. After browsing the song from top to bottom, he pondered for a few seconds and then remembered something. He typed the song title at the top. "Dream"
After thinking for a while, he clicked back again and changed 'dream' to 'dream'.
Early the next morning, Chi Jingyuan called the company:
"I thought about it yesterday, and the song "45.7CM" used to bid farewell to the stage is not well-known enough, and..."
"Well, I have a new idea."
