"Brother Zaixian told me yesterday that the company wants to produce a sound source for this song, and also wants to make a special project... What do you think?"
After finishing the recording of the program, Chi Jingyuan and Bae Zhuhyun said goodbye to the program crew. After packing their things, they followed their manager and walked towards the parking lot. The manager accelerated the pace and frequency, and the two of them Deliberately slowing down the speed, the two groups of people in front and behind quickly distanced themselves a little.
For a man and a woman who have just established a relationship within two days, they really want to be together every day. Any time they spend together is precious. However, both of them are idol celebrities, so they can only talk for a while after work when no one is around.
While walking and chatting, when they entered the elevator and there was no one around, Chi Jingyuan remembered the news he heard yesterday and mentioned it to Pei Zhuxuan.
"I heard Hui Ying and Oni also talk about this matter. As for the planning, it's up to you and the company to consider it." Pei Zhuxuan nodded slightly to express that he had heard it, and then glanced at Chi Jingyuan lightly: "As for the sound source...actually I I quite like this song.”
As she spoke, she looked at the closed elevator door in front of her, and the corners of her mouth curled up, obviously meaning something.
"Then do you like this song "Dream" or "Let It Be" better?" Chi Jingyuan glanced at her and asked with a chuckle.
"Um……"
The young lady looked back at him and suppressed a smile: "Then I prefer "Let It Be"."
There is no song in her heart that can compare with the meaning of this song.
As she spoke, she naturally hummed one of the refrains, raised her head, and shook her body as if she was a little proud.
"Haha..." Chi Jingyuan smiled when he saw her look, thought for a moment, pursed his lips and said: "I also think there should be a sound source. The quality of this song is quite good, and it can be considered a good choice for us MCs. A commemoration of my career... But it’s just a project, there’s no need to release an album or anything like that. Our fans don’t like to see so many contacts after we get off the bus.”
"Yes." Pei Zhuxuan nodded in agreement: "But if the sound source is going to be released, should it be released soon, or after we return."
"It should be in the recent period. Now is the time when the attention is the highest. When the decisive time comes, the popularity will be much lower." Chi Jingyuan thought for a while and replied. After speaking, he took the opportunity to express concern: "You are coming back this time. Have you decided on the time? How are you preparing?"
"Everything went well, probably around mid-March." As she said that, she bit her lower lip and looked a little hesitant: "But the song I came back to this time gave me the feeling... I chose ballads as the main theme at this time, or... It always feels a little bad to have a song that alludes to that.”
"I also think this choice is average."
Chi Jingyuan said in agreement,
He had heard Bae Zhuhyun say this before. Last year's development was very good. Red Velvet, which was in a booming period, had been preparing for its return at the end of last year. However, this time the company changed its previous style and gave them a choice. A ballad is used as the title song for the comeback, and although Chi Kyung-won has never heard it, Pei Zhuhyun said that this song is still a very heavy style song.
Ballads are really not something that any idol group can sing in Peninsula, let alone being the lead singer. EXO dares to do this and shows off its skills by releasing winter albums every year, and this time "Sing for You" is also in a heavy style. In addition to improving the team's positioning and opening up more fan markets, the most important thing is Because they have a great foundation and confidence, and are not afraid to pounce.
For this reason, they specially chose "Eccentric" as the double hit song to offset the heaviness of "Sing for You". Given the size of EXO's fans, the sales volume of the winter album will be significantly lower than that of the regular album, and the popularity and related data will also be lower. They are all far behind, not to mention Ledbebe, who has only become popular for half a year and has little background.
I don’t know if Red Velvet’s song selection this time is showing ambition or trying out a concept. I always feel that SM has positioned Bae Zhuhyun and the others as more than just an ordinary singing and dancing girl group.
But after all, the song has been selected and practiced for such a long time, so it is not appropriate to be too pessimistic. After discussing a few words about Red Velvet's new album, the elevator arrived. The two of them walked out of the elevator and changed the topic tacitly.
"Why are you waiting for a while? Are the other XO people back?" Pei Zhuxuan secretly glanced at Chi Jingyuan's hand, which seemed to be moving, but he still felt the movement of vehicles and voices coming from around him. little thoughts.
"Their flight in the morning has already arrived. They have been crazy in the group for a long time." Chi Jingyuan smiled and did not hide it: "I am going to JYP for a production meeting in the afternoon."
"Production meeting?" Upon hearing this word, the young lady looked over strangely.
She had never heard Chi Jingyuan say this before.
"Well, Jinying hyung invited me several times some time ago, so I sold a song to JYP, saying it would be included in Twice's new album. I don't know what they thought, so they changed it to the title song,"
"Are Tzuyu and Xi together?" Pei Zhuxuan looked at the ground in front of her and asked knowingly. At the same time, the white shoes on her feet lightly rubbed against the ground.
"Well..." Chi Jingyuan keenly sensed the young lady's thoughts. After thinking about it, he added a few words: "This song has been in my music library for a year or two. I gave it to The company saw it and said it didn’t fit your style... Teacher Li Xiuman and several producers thought it was average and didn’t like it, and guess what he said at that time?”
Chi Jingyuan's expression changed, his eyes narrowed, his voice was deliberately lowered and he began to cosplay with Li Xiuman: "Jingyuan, I'd better spend more time on the boy band's songs in the future..."
"Pfft... Hahaha." Pei Zhuxuan couldn't help but laugh when he saw the vivid appearance of his cosplay. He glanced at Chi Jingyuan with his eyes, his white teeth flashed, and he suddenly looked brighter. Quite a few.
It was not because the song was not favored, but because she felt Chi Jingyuan's thoughts.
"And you?"
“I have been preparing for the album recently, and I don’t have any other schedules during my comeback period... But I should go to MBC’s “Odd Games” these two days to practice the events I participated in. Seungwan and I did archery, and Seulgi and the others yesterday Went to wrestling practice and came back very late.”
The young lady raised her eyes and thought for a while before saying, then she looked at Chi Jingyuan: "You should also go, we are not in the same team..."
"Um, "Odd Games"..."
Hearing her suddenly mention this, Chi Jingyuan paused for a moment and blinked speechlessly: "I would have forgotten it even if you didn't tell me."
It was only when Bae Zhuhyun mentioned this that he remembered this. Because of the popularity of the group and the unique popularity and attention brought by the archery project, EXO would be warmly invited every time MBC's "Idol Games" is held.
Although they haven't been there in over a year.
This 2016 Spring Festival special is the largest planned, largest audience, and grandest special since the "Odds Games" was held. In addition to many previous projects, for the first time, pure archery was changed to mixed male and female archery. Team battles were added, and many events such as wrestling were added, and the gimmicks were greatly increased. At the same time, the program team once again invited SM, and also proposed that EXO and red velvet should partner up, and the seniors would take the juniors to participate in the first men's and women's archery after the revision. A lot of benefits were promised.
EXO also did not have much schedule during their comeback period. The company thought about it and communicated with Park Jae-hyun about Ji Kyung-won's filming schedule for the past few days. Knowing that he would not have to go to the set these days and would be free, he agreed and then participated. members signed up for several projects.
But even so, not all of the EXO group will go, and only five people including Chi Jingyuan will participate.
Park Jae-hyun mentioned it to him at the time, but Chi Kyung-won was busy on the set at that time and didn't pay much attention to it. When Bae Zhu-hyun said it, he suddenly remembered that they were in the same team as Red Velvet. …
"You and Shengwan went to MBC to practice archery?" Chi Jingyuan looked at her curiously: "Have you ever practiced archery before?"
Because many of the events in "Odd Games" are of a certain professional nature, such as archery, height tuning, wrestling and other events, some of the idols who signed up have generally never had any experience with them, so the program team will do it every time before they start recording. The venue and coaches are specially prepared, and the participating idols can come and practice overnight for several days, so that they will not make a fool of themselves in front of so many people.
"I haven't played much before, this is my first time..."
Pei Zhuxuan pursed her lips and looked a little nervous, then looked up at him: "Are you going?"
"I have never been there since the first time I participated." Chi Jingyuan curled his lips. Do you still need to practice on a target less than ten meters? Those archery coaches may not be as accurate as him.
When he saw Pei Zhuhyun's appearance, he thought about it and suddenly murmured: "Let's find a place to practice in private. Sehun and I will be here, and you and Seungwan... Anyway, there's nothing going on these two days. I heard Junmyeon hyung and others say that the preparation environment at MBC is average, with many people sharing the same coach, and you can’t learn anything.”
"You know how to teach people?" The young lady raised her head and blinked at him with a soft tone.
"Of course, I practiced a lot when I was a child." Chi Jingyuan shrugged, his tone was confident, and it was natural.
"Then where should we practice?"
"Actually, my house can...well, forget it." Chi Jingyuan directly denied his suggestion and said casually: "There are many archery places, I just ask Brother Zaixian to contact them."
As members or friends, it was okay for Chi Jingyuan to take them to his home to play together, but he felt it was not very appropriate to let Pei Zhuxuan see what his home looked like just after confirming the relationship between men and women.
"Well, let me ask." Pei Zhuxuan looked obviously moved. She seemed to have not heard what Chi Jingyuan said at the beginning. She pondered for a few seconds and nodded slowly.
After the agreement was made, Chi Jingyuan seemed to have remembered something. He turned to look at Pei Zhuxuan and said with a smile, "Also, Zhuxuan Xi, remember to prepare a reward."
"What reward?" Pei Zhuxuan did not respond.
"When I was recording the show just now, I answered all the questions related to you correctly. Shouldn't you give me some rewards?" Chi Jingyuan looked at her and winked lightly.
"qi~~"
After hearing this, the young lady thought of the scene just now, and a feeling of joy suddenly came up, but she suppressed it, suppressed a smile and rolled her eyes at him, walked towards the nanny car over there, quickened her pace, and left first. In the past, all that was left was a coquettish word and a squirming back view:
"It's a beautiful thought."
…
"boom."
Chi Jingyuan got into the nanny car and leaned back on the back seat a little tiredly. He had gotten up early in the morning and had been recording the show all morning. He was already a little tired now.
But I was in a good mood. After all, I was recording with my father. It was completely different from the usual feeling of following the team or running my own personal schedule.
Especially the occasional secret glances in front of the camera, the flirtatious excitement is really memorable and addictive.
No wonder the idol couples of Peninsula always like to be in various places after confirming their relationship, including on Instagram, wearing rings and bracelets and other decorations, and even in front of the camera, even with the risk of being discovered by fans. A sneaky show of affection, this heartbeat feeling is really enjoyable.
Seeing Pei Zhuhyun's nanny car start driving away through the car window, Chi Jingyuan let out a long breath.
Speaking of which, Bae Zhuhyun is the second father he has officially dated since joining SM and becoming an idol.
In the past four or five years, only Son Na-eun had the identity of a father-in-law. The other heterosexual love beans who had close contact could not be considered a formal relationship. In Jung Soo-jung's case, it was half. Although there was no formal relationship during that period, Confession and confirmation of relationship, but the mode of getting along has actually moved closer to that of a couple.
For Chi Jingyuan, getting in close contact with someone because they are beautiful or having some good feelings, and having a formal relationship are two completely different things.
It's a pity that Son Na-eun had only been dating for a few months at that time. Because the relationship had no foundation and the two people couldn't see each other for a long time due to their schedules, they broke up after the initial enthusiasm and freshness dissipated.
It's actually a bit embarrassing to say that Son Na-eun actually didn't want to break up. It was Chi Jingyuan who proposed it first and insisted on it.
Now that a few years have passed, Bae Zhuhyun will definitely be different in comparison. After all, she has accumulated and been ambiguous for so long, experienced a lot of things, and dated idols who fell in love with each other when they saw each other and broke up with each other when the enthusiasm faded. Couples are still a little different.
And to be honest, after being together for so long, Chi Jingyuan actually has a feeling of heartbeat. Although it doesn't rise to the level of deep love, he has actually not experienced this kind of emotion for a long time, so he is still relatively concerned about it. precious.
It's just that no one can explain things like love clearly, and the idol couple often don't see each other for long periods of time due to professional issues.
What happens next depends on the development of each other and the management of the two people.
Chi Jingyuan sat in the car silently for a while, flipping through his phone, replying to the text messages he had received from Zhou Ziyu and Mingjing Nan, as well as the message he had just received from Pei Zhuxuan, and then faced the manager in front of him. The person said:
"Brother, let's go eat first and then go to JYP."
…………
"Is it possible that a regular MC on a singing show is so popular after getting off the show?"
"It's not an ordinary singing show. No one pays much attention to the MCs in other singing shows. This is Yin Yin CP. Yin Yin CP is already very popular. Don't even look at who the man is..."
In the practice room of Twice in the JYP building, the nine members were not practicing at this time. Instead, they were divided into several groups and sat on the sofa playing with their mobile phones and chatting. It seemed that they had entered the rest time and were waiting for something.
The focus of the chat included the return of his own group, the embarrassments of his seniors, the gossip in the industry, which male idol is more handsome, and the latest hot searches. Naturally, the departure of the most popular Yin Yin CP in the past two days was also included in the discussion.
"But don't tell me, the two MCs of "Music Bank" are really attractive. Not to mention Yan, Chi Kyung-won and Bae Joo-hyun also look a little too sweet in the show. They have a perfect tacit understanding. Are they really dating?"
"It's possible. Many people in the circle are spreading the news."
"Dafa! It would be interesting if it were true! I quite like this couple."
"I think it's fake to be so sweet in front of the camera. Real couples can't even hide in time..."
Zhou Ziyu, who was sitting aside, listened to the gossips of the sisters next to her. Not only did she have no intention of joining in the discussion, but she also turned her back to them while listening, and couldn't help but lightly curl her lips. He closed his mouth.
She really hates the term 'Yinyin CP', and she doesn't have much fondness for Bae Zhuhyun.
When they met each other several times before and after their debut, although Bae Zhuhyun always smiled and looked very friendly and close, and even took the initiative to say hello when they met after their debut, Zhou Ziyu could vaguely feel that this sister looked at her There is always something else in his eyes.
I didn't feel this way before, but it has become more and more obvious recently.
Don't ask how Bae Joo-hyun noticed that she was so good at managing her expressions. Of course it's a woman's intuition!
And although she looked weak and sweet every time she was in person, smiling sweetly, she was the only one who knew best what she was thinking.
Got off the car?
Good to get off the car!
Hearing the voices next to him, Zhou Ziyu couldn't help but silently applaud in his heart.
On the left side of the sofa, Yu Dingyan looked at Lin Nalian who was fiddling with her mobile phone. She leaned over and asked, "Why, are Yuan and XO fans still leaving messages to scold you?"
"It never stopped."
Lin Nalian's face wrinkled up, her eyes full of speechlessness and displeasure. She pointed at the comment area under twice's official SNS on the screen and said angrily: "It's been so long, and they still come to scold me every day. , it’s just like clocking in at work, it’s still awful to speak, don’t they have their own business?”
Whether it was the previous "Sixteen" incident or the controversy in last year's "Weekly Idol", some time has passed, but Lin Nayeon is still one of the most hated female idols of Ai Li. As long as there is relevant content on the Internet, You can see all kinds of attacks on her, especially the official SNS of Twice started by JYP, which has become a place for many Aili to spit and vent, and it is very lively every day.
In addition to their strong fighting power and crazy loyalty, Ai Li's fan group also has a great characteristic of being extremely perseverant and having a clear distinction between love and hate. If you hate someone, you really hate it. The anti behavior has been maintained for a long time, and it has lasted for a long time. In 2016, many people hate Jung Eun Ji because she had many kissing scenes with Ji Kyung Won in "Reply 1997" and often go against her.
At the end of the sentence, Lin Nalian secretly took a look at the surrounding activities, and couldn't help but lean into Yu Dingyan's ear. As soon as her teeth flashed, she began to curse viciously: "Really, there are just as many idols as there are fans. They are all so mean and annoying."
"Hahaha." Yu Dingyan couldn't help laughing when he looked at her, and glanced at this sister strangely: "Then you still keep the pillow you received in the show?"
"Save it for venting. If it's okay, just punch it twice, bang! Bang!" Lin Nalian shook her head and said something matter-of-factly. She also made a vicious expression and punched the air twice hard, mouth Li was still simulating a fierce voice, and she didn't know whether she wanted to hit Chi Jingyuan or Aili.
Maybe one punch at a time.
On the side, Mingnan sat quietly on the edge of the sofa, listening to the chatter next to him, secretly observing the movements of other members, and groping for his mobile phone that had not been lit for a long time.
She and Chi Jingyuan exchanged text messages for a while, but suddenly there was no movement.
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps. The manager pushed open the door of the practice room, waved to them, and said loudly: "Okay, let's go to the meeting."
I just informed them that there will be a production meeting related to the new album later, and a few people are waiting here specifically.
"Here comes Oppa."
Several people stood up in response, followed the agent and quickly walked out, took the elevator upstairs, and soon arrived in the prepared conference room.
As idols, they were the first to arrive, and after entering, they sat in their seats.
When they first came in, Twice and a few people were still chatting quietly, but soon staff from other departments came one after another. Although there were not many people, only four or five, the atmosphere in the room changed obviously. They all became serious, and they all consciously closed their mouths and began to wait silently for the meeting to start.
After all, as newcomers who have just debuted, they are still quite nervous about such a formal and important matter regarding their return.
And they have no say. They do whatever the company says.
I hope this comeback plan will be better.
It was approaching three o'clock, and almost everyone had arrived, and the small conference room was almost full. The nine people in Twice saw the empty seats at the main table and began to pray silently.
At this moment, there was a burst of footsteps approaching from far away, and the sound of two people talking and laughing.
"...Are you sure it's this version of the arrangement?"
Zhou Ziyu and others were inexplicably moved in their hearts. They always felt that the voices of the two people were very familiar.
"Okay, the last version of the arrangement is very good. The use of those instruments and the interludes are really great. You must have been working on it for a long time."
"Uh, haha, if I say that I spent a whole night working on it...Brother, you won't be angry, right?"
As a laugh came, two figures pushed the door open and walked into the conference room, looking directly at the people inside.
