Originally, the conference room was very quiet, with only a few room heads and representatives communicating quietly. After hearing the footsteps, everyone consciously became quiet, so they could hear clearly the movements coming from outside the door.
But the clearer they heard it, the more familiar the voice seemed to some members of Twice, such as Zhou Ziyu, Ming Jingnan, and Lin Nayeon. Needless to say, one of them was very distinctive. They knew it was Park Jinying as soon as they heard it.
And the other one...
"...You won't be angry..."
As the sound got closer and closer, the door was gently pushed open. When they saw the expected Park Zhenying and the unexpected figure next to him, Twice's eyes widened instantly, and they all looked over in great surprise.
Chi Jingyuan, who walked in, also glanced at the JYP conference room and exchanged glances with several familiar and unfamiliar people.
Not many people participated in this production meeting. In addition to the Twice group and their manager, they were Chi Kyung-won and Park Jin-young, as well as the head of the record department and a few staff members. Fortunately, the other staff members have already communicated with each other before, and some have even met. Only the nine people in twcie were the most surprised. It was obvious that they had not received any news in advance, and when they did not deliberately manage their expressions in private, the shock in the sky could not be concealed. .
Zhou Ziyu's eyes were wide open, and he slightly frowned for some reason, while Mingjing Nan's mouth was slightly open, her upper lip was obviously slightly raised, the small mole on the left side was very conspicuous, and she had long burgundy hair. Wrap your head like a pomegranate.
There was also Tuya, who looked here in surprise as if he was seeing a ghost. He immediately avoided contact with Chi Jingyuan, lowered his head and pretended to stare at the texture of the table in front of him for a second. , and then stood up together with the members next to them and saluted them.
"Aniha Saiyo...'
"Haha, if it's true, it only means that you are really good at this..." After walking in, Park Zhenying didn't say much, lightly patted Chi Jingyuan's shoulder, and then stood up and looked around. He saluted twice and the staff casually waved their hands to signal them to sit down, and then he and Chi Jingyuan pulled out the stools and sat down.
"Well……:
At this time, Park Zhenying no longer had the kind smile on his face when he was chatting with Chi Jingyuan in the corridor. After sitting down, he became much more serious. His two little eyes were filled with light as he picked up the information and documents in his hand and flipped through them casually. After a few casual exchanges with the room manager, he went directly to the topic of the day. He raised his head and glanced around, and finally looked at the two rows of nine people next to him:
"The second mini-album comeback meeting has already been held before. You should already know about the entire album-related planning, as well as the concept of this comeback album, the change in the style of the entire team, etc..."
Seeing Park Ji Hyo and the others nodding obediently in response, Park Jin Young paused and continued: "Today is the production meeting for the title song of the second mini album. This title song "Cheer Up" was carefully selected by us in order to suit your transformation. This is an extremely excellent song, you should have listened to it in the music room yesterday, right?"
"Um."
""Cheer Up" is the most important song in this album, and it is also the key to your transformation. It shows the company's high hopes for you..."
Chi Jingyuan didn't say anything after the start. He sat quietly on the side, flipping through the information in his hands and listening to Park Zhenying's words. From time to time, he raised his head and glanced at Tugas, who was sitting opposite him.
He could clearly feel that from the moment he walked in until now, even after the meeting started, the eyes of several people across from him would still glance at him furtively from time to time. Zhou Ziyu had already glanced at him several times, and it seemed that I want to make eye contact quietly.
It's like I want to say, 'Why didn't you tell me before? '
But Chi Jingyuan felt it, but he just didn't look at her. Except for occasionally glancing at the other members next to her, he seemed to be listening carefully to Park Jinying's speech.
Are you angry?
"...The producer of the title song "cheer up" this time is Jingyuan. He is also the songwriter and arranger of this song. He will be responsible for the entire production of the song "cheer up"..."
With that said, Park Zhenying finally mentioned Chi Jingyuan, a smile appeared on his face, he looked at Chi Jingyuan, and then at Twice, who was shocked again after hearing this, as if he couldn't believe it: "We should all know him. Come on, after all, it’s been a long time since I debuted... You must have heard of the hit songs that Jingyuan composed and participated in the production of. It was hard for me to invite him here this time..."
With that said, Park Zhenying raised his chin and signaled Twice to say hello.
"Please take care of me, Senior Chi." The nine people stood up again and saluted Chi Jingyuan, looking over with surprised eyes.
After hearing this, they were even more surprised than before.
Because they finally knew why they saw Chi Jingyuan here...
Even after the other party nodded to them in return, the feeling of surprise was still very strong after they sat down again. They had obviously participated in a show together some time ago, and they had met several times backstage. Unexpectedly, after seeing each other again, the other party suddenly changed and changed directly from love to love. Mame-senpai became their producer.
But after reacting and accepting this very sudden setting, many people in Twice suddenly felt something move in their hearts.
The title song was composed by Chi Jingyuan, and Chi Jingyuan came to be the producer.
Judging from his results in the past two years...
Sounds good!
People like Yu Jeongyeon and Park Jihyo blinked.
"As the main producer of the entire album, I will assist..." Park Zhenying added a few more words, introducing the production of the title song in detail, and looked at Chi Jingyuan as he spoke: "Wait a minute. After completing the final preparations in the past two days, practice will officially begin... By the way, Jingyuan, regarding the part allocation..."
"Brother, please make a rough idea first and let them start practicing first." Chi Jingyuan had already considered these aspects before, and without much hesitation, he glanced at Twice opposite and said directly: "When the time comes, I will Then change it according to the specific performance effect."
Although Park Jin Young told him before that this time the production of "Cheer Up" will give him sufficient rights in many aspects, including assigning parts and other matters. He is indeed very sincere. In addition to having friends in twcie, Chi Jingyuan It also comes because I can accumulate experience in producing girl group songs.
But having said that, JYP certainly has its own considerations and positioning for twice, and the allocation of lyrics parts is not random. In addition to looking at the matching of the members, what is more important is who will be promoted for this comeback. People who recommend it will have more parts, their makeup will be relatively good-looking, and their clothes will be more conspicuous, while those who don't recommend it will have fewer parts, and they will lag behind in other aspects.
All combinations are the same for all companies.
Chi Jingyuan didn't bother to ask JYP who was the main promoter and who was the backer in Twice's comeback this time. He simply stopped interfering from the beginning and let JYP divide it among themselves and let them start practicing first. He would then judge the effect of each person's singing. Change again.
However, if you don’t look at majors and you really want to classify them based on his preferences...
Zhou Ziyu sang two-fifths, Ming Jingnan sang one-fifth, and the others shared the remaining parts. Yu Dingyan sang a little more, and Lin Nalian danced beside him.
Perfect.
Park Zhenying probably expected Chi Jingyuan to say this, so he nodded and immediately agreed, and then asked: "What about the choreographer?"
"It's the same thing..." Chi Jingyuan said after a pause.
However, he thought about it and added: "The choreography is still very important. The song "Cheer Up" is an atmospheric song. The dance should not be too difficult and use more simple gestures to express it."
In terms of choreography, he didn't really plan to interfere too much. He was quite good at dancing for men's groups, so forget about women's groups.
Moreover, the choreographer actually had to consider a lot of things. He didn’t quite know the dancing abilities of the nine members of Twice. What if the choreography was too difficult and some people couldn’t dance...
What are you looking at? It’s you.
Feeling that Zhou Ziyu's little eyes were always glancing here, Chi Jingyuan finally looked over and looked at her. The calm and scrutinizing gaze made the girl feel timid soon after meeting her, and he lost his sight. .
However, these are all preparations in advance. Many things still need to be adjusted after the official start of practice and personal contact with people like Chi Jingyuan and Twice.
Facing their discussion, most of the members of Twice were listening attentively. At this time, many people inexplicably had a strange sense of expectation for the title song this time.
Park Zhenying then communicated and explained in detail with Twice's manager and record department, and finally looked at Chi Jingyuan: "Is there anything else Jingyuan wants to say?"
"No, let's talk about it then." Chi Jingyuan shook his head and glanced at the nine people in Twice.
They were each wrapped in cotton-padded jackets and down jackets, and their hair colors were various. Their makeup was also relatively light at this time, and you couldn't even tell what the female idol looked like when you were sitting there.
Now the parts have not been divided, the choreographer has not come out, and they can't even sing the song "Cheer Up". He doesn't even know the quality of Twice, what style, concept, etc. stuff doesn't make any sense.
But judging from his impression and understanding of Zhou Ziyu and her group during this period, the subsequent recording should be quite difficult.
"Okay, then it's settled." Park Zhenying nodded and made a final summary: "The corresponding preparations here will be completed soon, and the children will be allowed to practice first, which will probably be from late to the end of this month. It will officially start in the next few days, and we will communicate with your agent at that time to coordinate your time."
"Yes, I understand." Chi Jingyuan glanced at Twice, who was sitting upright, and responded casually.
"Signal" has already been aired in the last few days of this month, and the crew will start to enter the mode of filming and broadcasting at the same time. Needless to say, he will definitely be very busy. He will definitely have to wait until evening to work as a producer at JYP. Park What Zhen said about cooperating with his time was nothing more than making Twice often have to work overtime at the company overnight.
Just work overtime, who doesn't?
"Then let's do this for now,"
…………
Although Chi Jingyuan felt the surprise of the two people in Twice, such as Zhou Ziyu and Ming Jingnan after seeing him, as well as some strong desire to communicate and dialogue, he did not say a word to them during the whole process. , after the meeting, he was dragged out by Park Jin Young to chat for a few words and then left JYP directly.
There will be plenty of opportunities to talk later when I'm practicing singing, dancing, recording, and shooting music videos, so I'm not in a hurry.
But when he really got into serious work mode, it was probably unclear whether these girls still wanted to talk to him.
And if there are no accidents, maybe they will meet again soon...
"Omo, is it Chi Jingyuan who will be our producer for the title song this time?"
After the production meeting, the agent and the director of the company went to communicate with each other. Twice returned to the practice room first. As soon as he entered the door, Park Jihyo couldn't hold it back and started shouting. There was obvious excitement in his expression and tone: "I used to Without looking carefully, I realized that the song "cheer up" was written by him... It's really a big deal."
"Didn't you watch it during the meeting before?"
"It is indeed Dafa. I just checked. The number one song in the annual charts in the past two years, "Some" and "Boy with Luv" are both his songs, as well as "Roar" and "Spring Day". Basically all of them are hits. Songs, especially "boy with luv"..."
Sun Chaeyoung looked at her phone and then continued with a bit of nonsense: "I heard that he didn't seem to have written many songs for others except for his own group... Judging from this, the company really values our comeback this time. .”
"But I don't think the song "Cheer Up" is that good... Didn't you say it was pretty average yesterday?" Hirai Momo said weakly.
"Yesterday it was pretty average, but now I suddenly feel better."
"I remember when he was on "Zhou Ou" last time, didn't he say he just wrote an ordinary song? Why did it suddenly become the title song?"
"I don't know. I guess the company thought the song was of high quality and changed it..."
"Oh, by the way, I remembered, "I" was also produced by him..."
In addition to the familiar hits, the one that impressed them most was Kim Taeyeon's "I", which coincided with their debut album. It was obviously popular and popular, and even entered the one-at-a-time ranking. Alternate, but was suppressed by "I" throughout the whole process and couldn't hold his head up at all. The title song, which had a relatively good performance, was not available until the end of the activity period.
That feeling was really uncomfortable, but it also greatly deepened their impression of Kim Taeyeon's song "I", as well as the song and album's producer Ji Kyung-won.
"What's wrong?" After returning from the meeting, Yu Dingyan found that Lin Nalian, who was still full of energy before, punching in the air as if she wanted to fix someone, suddenly became wilted, and came back and sat on the sofa. Sitting there with her mouth pursed and a worried look on her face, she couldn't help but lean over and express concern.
"That's not what I just said..." Lin Nalian frowned when she heard this, but in the middle of her sentence, she suddenly glanced to the side very warily, especially looking in the direction of Zhou Ziyu. After discovering this maknae She was far away from her, and she was busy with her cell phone with her head down, so she breathed a sigh of relief. She lowered her voice and said to Yu Dingyan: "The most important thing in the comeback is the title song, and our title song this time is Earth Light... Chi Jingyuan comes to be the producer, he must know about me, will he cause trouble for me?"
"Will he deliberately find fault with me and scold me, or reduce my parts and scenes, or..." Lin Nalian seemed to have seen her miserable situation in the future, her face wrinkled up, her mouth He grinned as if he was about to cry, and the pair of rabbit teeth seemed to have lost their luster.
"No, why are you scaring yourself?" Yu Dingyan laughed in his heart as soon as he saw it, but he controlled his expression on his face and analyzed this elder sister seriously: "Let's not talk about Jingyuan Oppa. Do you know that you often scold...that you don't like him very much? Although Ziyu has a good relationship with him, she doesn't necessarily tell him everything..."
Saying that, Yu Dingyan also glanced at Zhou Ziyu, and continued with a trusting expression: "Even if he knew, he would not delay his serious work because of this kind of thing, and PD Park Jinying is the main producer of the album, he will definitely I'll be supervising you on the side, don't worry..."
"..." Lin Nalian listened to Yu Dingyan's advice, blinked and nodded slowly, and her wrinkled face slowly relaxed. It seemed that the persuasion worked and made her feel relieved a lot.
But before a few seconds passed, she didn't know what she remembered. Her brows and face suddenly shrank together and then returned to their original state. She kicked her legs in a row anxiously, and raised her head in grief and anger with her mouth wide open: "I I can’t let it go!”
Over there, they were discussing Chi Jingyuan's creative and production capabilities as well as the prospects of this album. The two sisters here, whose ages and performances were reversed, kept comforting and cheering the eldest sister, while the people on the other side were low-key. He was holding his head and busy with his cell phone.
Zhou Ziyu frowned slightly, seeming a little angry, and tapped the screen with both hands: "You want to come to our company for a meeting, and you want to be our producer, why don't you tell me? !”
She was a little angry. Chi Jingyuan had definitely known about such an important thing for a long time, but he had always kept it from her. She didn't find out until they met today.
God knows how surprised she was when she saw Chi Jingyuan today, and how fast her heart beat.
He must have done it on purpose! Even if you don’t tell her, it’s also true if you don’t look at her during the meeting!
Zhou Ziyu pursed his lips.
I obviously told him everything!
Chi Jingyuan was sitting in the nanny car, looking at the text messages he had expected to receive. It seemed that Zhou Ziyu was dissatisfied with tapping her phone hard. Thinking of her expression during the meeting just now, she couldn't help but laugh and replied. : "What are you telling me for? Can you and your sisters line up at the door to greet me?"
But based on his understanding of Zhou Ziyu, she would probably be really angry if he said that, and it would not be good to hold it in for a few days. So after thinking about it, I followed up with another message: "The main reason is that this matter was just confirmed not long ago, and I always thought it was just an ordinary collection of songs. Who knew that your company suddenly changed its mind... and it was not that I wanted to give you a What a surprise."
"Really?"
"Of course, I lied to you about being a puppy."
