Minazaki Saka sat very close to him, with her legs turned outward on the wooden floor. She looked like a neon girl in her sitting posture. She was holding a piece of music in both hands, lowering her head and muttering. lyrics.
What attracted Chi Jingyuan's attention to her was her pronunciation of the lyrics.
Listen, that's a little weird.
Minatozaki Saka seemed to be very sensitive to people's gaze. A few seconds after Chi Jingyuan looked at her, she seemed to notice something while keeping her head down. She raised her head and looked over in confusion, with her upper lip curled up. The mouth is still slightly open.
Don't tell me, the eyes are really big.
Minazaki Saka noticed that Chi Jingyuan was looking at her. She blinked in confusion at first, and then seemed to understand something. She quickly lowered her head to avoid the other person's eyes, and looked around at herself as if the other person couldn't see her. He quickly reached out to dust off the non-existent dust on his collar, and then straightened the corners of his clothes that were a little messy due to his sitting posture.
She thought there was something wrong with her clothes and Chi Jingyuan noticed it, and she felt a little embarrassed.
The girl's reaction and actions made Chi Jingyuan's heart tremble. He didn't let her continue to arrange her clothes, and asked proactively: "Are you from Osaka?"
He knew that Minazaki Saka was a neon person, but he didn't know where she was from. Maybe the other party had told her about it, but he had forgotten it.
"ah?"
Hearing Chi Jingyuan's sudden question, Minatozaki Sasha was stunned for a moment. The hand that was dusting her collar stopped and she looked up again. After she came to her senses, she quickly responded: "Yes, I'm from Neon Osaka." .”
After he finished speaking, he looked at the other person curiously and blinked.
At this time, she seemed to notice something. She inadvertently put away the sitting posture of the beautiful girl with her legs turned out just now, and folded herself in front of her like everyone else.
When the right leg was crossed back, it was pinned by the left leg. I don't know if it touched somewhere, but the mouth that was slightly opened just closed immediately.
"so……"
Chi Jingyuan nodded clearly.
He remembered that when he was learning neon language, he heard the teacher say that many locals in Osaka seemed to be unable to pronounce the sound 'sh', so the originally normal 'shyshyshy' was pronounced 'xiaxiaxia' by Minatozaki Saka. '.
This part was so direct that he didn't pay much attention to it before. He always thought it was just a very ordinary aria, inconspicuous at all, and had nothing to do with the killing part.
But when she pronounced it like this, Chi Jingyuan suddenly felt that it became a little more interesting.
"Sing the lyrics you just said again." He looked at Minazaki Saka's music score and gestured with his lips.
"Which sentence?"
Minazaki Saka asked with wide eyes.
She didn't understand the situation, but she would do whatever Chi Jingyuan said.
"That's it..." Chi Jingyuan moved a little closer and pointed at her music score.
"Um……"
It was indeed a line of lyrics she had just finished reading... but singing it directly made her a little shy. Minatozaki Saka thought for a moment, glanced at Yan Jingyuan, and then cleared her throat specifically, looking at the music score and the sound. The little one sang once: "My hometown...shyshyshy~"
She seemed to know that there was something wrong with her pronunciation, and her voice became obviously quieter after this sentence.
The movement of the two people had already attracted the attention of other people nearby. They seemed to be getting familiar with the newly separated part seriously. In fact, as soon as Chi Jingyuan came in, they turned their attention to Twice who was sitting next to them. Several other people had already stopped what they were doing, and they all listened curiously to the conversation between the two.
After listening to it, Chi Jingyuan nodded and said nothing more. Instead, he looked at the music score and pointed out the member who originally sang this part: "Jihyo, you also sing this part again."
"Oh, okay." Park Jihyo nodded when his name was called, looked at the music score and quickly sang: "My dear hometown...shyshyshy~"
Well……
He still didn't comment, and looked around again, then focused on Lin Nalian.
This Tuya was looking here curiously just now, as if she liked watching the fun, but as soon as Chi Jingyuan's eyes passed, she immediately lowered her head and pretended to read the music score.
"Lin Nalian, you sing it again."
After her name was called, Lin Nalian could no longer pretend. The corner of her mouth twitched slightly, she raised her head and glanced here, and then sang obediently: "Well... dear hometown... shyshyshy~"
really.
Chi Jingyuan made some judgments in his mind.
Whether it was Park Jihyo who originally sang this line or Lin Nayeon who was the main singer, they only sang it in a mediocre way, with no characteristics as before.
After all, this is a very ordinary lyric, and no one else can sing it like a flower.
But what Minazaki Saka said was a little different.
"Then change it now and let sana sing this line."
Under the gaze of the surrounding people, Chi Jingyuan thought for a moment, then picked up a pen and drew on his score, and said at the same time: "These lines in the two verses are all yours."
It's not that she sings well, but that the pronunciation sounds a little interesting. Let her sing this part. Although Chi Jingyuan doesn't think it's a killing part, it can turn an originally very ordinary sentence into something... There have to be some highlights, which are pretty good.
The effect may be better with specialized choreography, and she had too few parts before, almost finishing last.
"oh oh……"
The change was a bit sudden. Minatozaki Saka quickly responded after she realized it. She responded twice in a row. She pursed her lips and glanced at Park Jihyo, then picked up a pen and wrote it down on her score.
Park Ji Hyo seems to have a natural expression and doesn't have any objections. She has had enough parts, second only to Lin Nayeon.
Chi Jingyuan's movement just now made Twice a little confused. The part that had just been decided was changed again, which also made a few people confused.
But they will do whatever Producer Chi says.
After solving this temporary problem, Chi Jingyuan quickly resumed his previous actions and started talking about the choreography of "Cheer Up" with several JYP dance teachers.
"This version is generally very good. It just needs to reflect this simple and cute style. For example, the 'come on dance' in the chorus is very interesting. There are no moves that are too difficult, show off skills, or don't match the style. Appear."
"...However, I think there are some parts in the middle that need to be refined. Although some parts are simple, they are a little too simple, and the rendering power is not enough, which does not help the stage effect."
"It is necessary to use more memorable actions. It is best to make people understand it at a glance and leave an impression."
Chi Jingyuan seriously exchanged his thoughts with the teachers of the first version of the choreography. After speaking, he stood up directly and started to demonstrate by example: "For example, at the beginning, I feel that the highlights of the first version of the choreography are not enough. I thought about it a few days ago and thought..."
Ever since he decided to be the producer of the song "cheer up", he would often think about songs when he had free time. He also came up with a lot of inspirations, and he recorded all the ones he thought were good. At this time, I got in touch with Twice, and after learning more about it, many of my ideas became clearer.
But when he got up and pulled a few dance teachers to stand in the middle of the twice, and was about to demonstrate the choreography he had thought of, he suddenly got stuck.
When doing choreography for EXO, Chi Jingyuan would be able to dance naturally in front of everyone and show it to the other members after he got inspiration for his movements. He never felt there was anything wrong with it.
But at this time, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but feel a little awkward when he was dancing these cute girl group choreographies in front of a group of people like Twice, as well as familiar girls like Zhou Ziyu and Ming Jingnan.
I have the idea, but I can’t jump out of it...
However, after hesitating for a while, Chi Jingyuan still endured it. He skipped it in front of so many fans the year before. It didn't really matter now. After all, it was all for work.
He exhaled, squatted down, put his hands on his chin into a flowering posture, and demonstrated seriously to the teacher and twice next to him: "This flowering posture is very cute and memorable. At the beginning, I thought You can use this 'garden dance'. The C position stands in the middle, and the others squat in pairs. Whoever the C position points to will slowly stand up and perform this movement, just like blooming..."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Although Chi Jingyuan said it very seriously and did not mean to be funny, Twice next to him looked at him with a solemn expression, but he still couldn't help but laugh when he gestured with flowers, pretending to be cute in a very contrasting way. Zhou Ziyu laughed so hard The whole face was wrinkled together in an extremely arrogant manner. Minami Nai and Saka Minatozaki covered their mouths and trembled all over. Son Chaeyoung even widened her eyes and said with admiration: "kiyo~"
Chi Jingyuan heard clearly that Zhou Ziyu was the first to laugh.
Several dance teachers nearby also couldn't help laughing, but they were not as presumptuous as Twice. They just showed a slight smile and quickly waved to stop the little girl next to them, and then quickly got into the mood and started learning from Chi Jingyuan.
"Very cute action and very interactive, I like it."
The movements are very simple and can be understood by professionals at a glance. After following along for a few times, a teacher nodded and praised.
"Because it's my first time to choreograph a girl group, so I'm not very experienced yet."
Chi Jingyuan inadvertently glanced at Zhou Ziyu, who was still grinning silly, then looked at the choreographers next to him and said, "They are all sudden inspirations. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. If it’s okay, Jiminxi, Eunjingxi, and other teachers nim remember to give me some opinions.”
We had just introduced ourselves to each other, and Chi Jingyuan also knew the names of these JYP teachers.
"Arnie, that's really cool."
The female teacher named Enjing waved her hand, and said to Chi Jingyuan with some compliments and some sincerity: "Jingyuan Xi's choreographer is actually very famous here, and many of his movements and ideas are really amazing... ...Many of the classic moves in "Roar" and "Boy with Luv" have almost become textbooks, and we all like them."
As she said this, she smiled and danced the iconic gorilla dance and hammering movements in "Roar". When Twice next to her saw it, they also imitated it. At the same time, some people looked at Chi Jingyuan and also looked at her. Some changes.
"Roar" and "Boy with Luv" are all famous names. These hit songs are like medals hanging on the body of the producer Chi in front of him. It doesn't matter if he doesn't mention them. After mentioning them, people will look up to him.
"Girl groups and men's groups are still different... In fact, what I like most are some of the moves in "Dope"." Chi Jingyuan smiled and waved his hands, and then quickly entered the whole again: "This is the beginning. Then there’s the choreography for the bridge part, which I think is a little bit ordinary and lacks the expressiveness of the members.”
"Come, stand like this..."
"Everyone, stand up!"
Under the command of the dance teacher, all nine members of Twice stood up, followed the dance teacher and formed a formation according to Chi Jingyuan's instructions, and began to learn and try new choreography.
"During the interlude after the second chorus, I walked quickly and stood in three rows. The people in front blocked the people behind... Mina stood here with me."
After hearing his name, Mingjing Nan quickly walked over and stood next to Chi Jingyuan, slightly pursed his lips and raised his head to watch his movements intently.
"It's your part, come out of here, slow down..." Chi Jingyuan also entered the state, and spoke to Ming Jingnan seriously, and hummed the part immersedly: "I like you too , afraid that you will be hurt..."
Najing Nan followed him step by step, keeping his eyes on the other person's body.
While singing, Chi Jingyuan walked out slowly and demonstrated several hand movements that he had thought of before: "This bridge section is one of the highlights of the song. You have to master the expressions yourself. When you have time, I have to practice it in front of the mirror. If I coordinate with the styling well, if I give a close-up on the stage, the effect will be very good, and it will be easy to stand out..."
Looking at Chi Jingyuan's focused expression, Mingnan, who had just followed him to the end, pursed his lips and nodded vigorously.
Um!
"Then when it came to this shot, the first row turned around and Lin Nalian took over..." Chi Jingyuan smiled and continued to start the next paragraph.
Lin Nalian glanced at him and followed him.
"The middle part remains unchanged. When it comes to the part before the last chorus, that is, 'be a man a real man...' the choreography of this part also needs to be changed. The previous memory points are not enough... I still stand. In three rows, this action..."
“This pose is fun for girls to do, and it fits the lyrics better.
Chi Jingyuan squatted down and stretched out his right hand in a 'Popeye' gesture: "Then the three rows of people slowly staggered and finally formed a 'herringbone' shape. Who is the main dancer? Oh, MOMO, come and stand in the middle …”
"... Next, we can imitate the hour hand dance from SNSD's "Lion Heart", but we don't copy theirs, we make our own changes..."
"...The final ending echoes back and forth, and also uses garden dance movements..."
After the initial awkwardness disappeared, many Chi Jingyuan got into the mood and showed them the choreography they came up with bit by bit.
In the middle, JYP’s dance teacher also gave some opinions while studying. These teachers are also very professional for the choreography of the girl group. After Chi Jingyuan discussed with them, he also added some good moves smoothly. The choreography of the song "cheer up" was constantly improved by Chi Jingyuan. It has become completely new under the change.
For Kpop groups, many song choreography does not have only one version. When most groups practice new songs and dances, either themselves or the dance teacher will feel that some moves are inappropriate, and some new moves are good, and then they Additions and deletions will be made after discussion, and the choreography of the initial version and the released version will basically undergo considerable changes.
The same is true for EXO. Last year, "Call Me Baby" temporarily changed some moves in the last week before it was released.
"Well……"
After sorting out the dance of this song from the beginning, Chi Jingyuan felt a little tired and exhaled after all the dance teachers said that they had memorized the new choreography.
The part allocation is over, the choreography is almost done, and today’s work can be said to be all completed. Chi Jingyuan looked back at Park Jae-hyun, who had been standing in the corner silently. When he saw the brother nodded slightly to him, he turned around and clapped his hands, stopping. At this time, he still felt that it was novel and trying a new choreography. twcie: "That's it for the part and choreography. Starting tomorrow, we will practice according to today's assignment."
"Guilty!" Twice and several others responded together.
I don’t know whether it was the new choreography that aroused their interest, or whether they were used to staying up late, but everyone’s voices were still so powerful even in the middle of the night.
"Then that's it for today. I'll come back in a few days and we'll talk about the rest then." Chi Jingyuan nodded without any nostalgia. After smiling and nodding at a few teachers, he picked up the paper beside him. Shoulder bag, saying goodbye to twice directly.
"Kangsangmita."
The nine people were very polite and stood in a row and saluted Chi Jingyuan together.
Listening to the voice, it feels like it's not just business, it seems that they are really grateful to Chi Jingyuan.
"Well..." Chi Jingyuan smiled and nodded in return, then walked towards the door, but stopped after two steps, turned to them and explained again: "By the way, something about "cheer up" You can also participate in the work of this song, such as choreography, etc. If you have any moves or ideas that you find interesting, please remember to tell me..."
After saying that, he paused and changed his words: "Remember to talk to the teachers."
After saying that, he didn't wait for the nine people from Twice to salute again, waved his hands and left the last words before walking out with Park Jae-hyun:
"rest early……"
