"Crash..."
"suck……"
The faucet in the sink in the restroom on the third floor of JYP was opened and spraying water, which seemed a bit noisy in the quiet surroundings.
Standing in front of the bathroom mirror, Lin Nalian looked at her reddish eyes in the mirror, made a fierce expression, sniffed hard, and said angrily with the sound of water splashing: "He is targeting me."
"I have been practicing those parts for so long before, and he divided them all as soon as he came."
"And you see, he calls everyone else by their first name or stage name, but when he calls me, he calls me by both his first name and his last name... You will know it as soon as you hear it. Who wouldn't know..."
In the end, she became too emotional and didn't know what to say, so she waved her hand vigorously. With a tearful tone, he shouted with great grievance:
"That's what it is...
After saying a few words, Lin Nalian in the mirror looked fierce just now, her stubborn expression collapsed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and her voice became choked as she spoke.
She pursed her lips and reached out to wipe her tears. She felt her hands were a little wet, so she dipped her hands in water and continued to wipe the corners of her eyes, making her face even wetter.
Yu Dingyan, who was standing on the left, looked at the mirror for a while, and then looked at the living older child next to him. He sighed, took out a few pieces of paper from the side, held them in his hand and went over to wipe Lin Nalian's face.
He didn't know whether it was directed at her or not, but Chi Jingyuan called other people's names very naturally, except that Lin Nalian was a little stiff, but it was a fact, he could hear it.
Yu Dingyan couldn't say anything. After all, she was a beneficiary of Chi Jingyuan's redistribution, and she actually felt that after the changes, she was much better than before.
She is probably not the only one who feels this way.
Lin Nalian obviously knew this. Although she felt aggrieved, she did not show it directly in front of the other members.
She is actually very smart.
And she is actually quite strong in her career. She doesn't want to cry in front of others when her part is separated and she is dissatisfied with it. She is the most promising JYP trainee and the group's eldest sister. The self-esteem brought by status is still very strong.
In the end, Yu Dingyan secretly vented his feelings in the bathroom in front of his closest relative.
The atmosphere became quiet, and only the sound of running water could be heard.
Yu Dingyan took the paper and wiped it on the eldest sister's face a few times. Lin Nalian didn't know what she felt while wiping it, but suddenly reached out and grabbed the toilet paper.
Then he turned around with his back to her, covered his nose with paper in his hand, and blew his nose hard.
With a grunting sound, she quickly wiped it a few times. She threw the paper into the trash can next to her and paused for a moment. Two seconds later, she turned around with some embarrassment, washed her face with water, and finally sucked in the red paper. nose:
"Let's go back."
The practice room was still very lively when the two came back. Although it was already very late, everyone had no intention of going back to sleep. Hirai Momo and Minatozaki Saka were studying and learning new choreography with the dance teacher. dance.
Next to them, Sun Chaeyoung and Park Jihyo gathered together, observing the dance teacher's movements while chatting quietly.
"How did Producer Chi come up with such a cute choreography? I was shocked when I saw him dance."
"These moves are quite memorable. He is really amazing, both in terms of ideas and choreography."
"PD Chi said he was not familiar with girl group dance, but he is actually very good at it. I think he dances very well..."
"Hahaha."
"By the way, Jihyo, have you decided where to go for your birthday tomorrow?"
"I don't know yet, but my mother might be coming over..."
Listening to the energetic voices of the other members, Yu Jingyan looked at Lin Nayeon who had returned to normal and had blended into the crowd to give Park Jihyo advice, and sighed again in her heart.
…………
"Shall we go back directly without going to get something to eat?"
"Forget it, it's too late... By the way, brother, when will the crew start work tomorrow?"
"Work won't start until after ten o'clock, and your scene will be close to noon, so you can sleep a little longer at night."
"Ah, that's good."
At this time, Chi Jingyuan was on his way back to his dormitory, communicating lazily with Park Jae-hyun in the front seat.
Today's work has been successfully completed. After the part assignment and choreography work are almost completed, twice can start practicing more seriously. There is no need to go to JYP in the past few days. They can wait until they are almost done practicing. One step of work.
He doesn't need to keep an eye on it all the time. Chi Jingyuan is mainly responsible for overviewing the overall situation and determining the style of the song, the recording, even the cover, the MV, etc. However, JYP's teachers are still responsible for the practice, and he and he It doesn't matter.
And Twice has a lot to do, and it's not just the song "cheer up" that they have to practice. Although the title track is definitely more important, this mini album has six other songs that need to be practiced in addition to the title title.
Chi Jingyuan was already very busy, and they still had a lot to do.
He remembered hearing Zhou Ziyu mention it some time ago that they seemed to be filming a variety show or something soon, and they had been preparing for it for a long time.
I didn't listen carefully at the time and forgot...
However, he still needs to check the performance effect after the specific practice. I don’t know if Twice and the others can master this new style of songs and characters during this transformation.
It's a bit strange to say that he just left the crew and when he went to JYP, he still felt very tired and dozed off all the time. However, after finishing working on Twice and leaving JYP, he was not sleepy now. Even though he was sitting in the I felt very energetic on the soft car seat and didn't want to sleep. I could only lean against the window and look out at the street scene of Seoul, which was already dead at night.
"Buzz..."
The mobile phone placed next to him suddenly vibrated.
He stopped looking outside and picked up his phone to look at it.
Whatever comes to mind is a text message sent by Zhou Ziyu.
"We're at the dormitory... Your girl group dances very well. The members were all praising you just now. I feel like you dance better than me, hahaha..."
Looking at the lively text message, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but curl his lips.
This little brat really deserves a beating. He first tried to test it with a greeting, then immediately got down to the topic and then others started teasing him. Finally, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
If you are snickering, just snicker, why do you have to type it out?
And I remember you were the first one to laugh just now, right?
Not serious at all when working.
Chi Jingyuan was too lazy to pay attention to her, took a breath and put the phone down halfway.
After a while, Zhou Ziyu's text message came over again, asking tentatively.
"Why don't you talk? Are you already sleeping?"
Chi Jingyuan still didn't reply.
The test was fruitless, and the little girl might have felt a little guilty, so she sent another post two minutes later:
"I'm already good at dancing..."
Feeling the obvious change in her tone, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but feel excited. He shook his head, picked up his phone, and quickly typed a few words to reply: "Didn't I tell you before I left, what's the matter? If so, should you tell the teacher directly? You have crossed the line."
It would be fine if Chi Jingyuan didn't reply, but Zhou Ziyu would feel guilty and worry about whether she had made him angry. As soon as she replied and found that nothing happened, the weak attitude immediately disappeared and she immediately became arrogant again. He got up and sent a word:
"snort!"
The meaning is obvious.
I am different from the other members!
Immediately afterwards, before Chi Jingyuan could say anything, Zhou Ziyu sent over again: "I said it's true. The new choreography is very good. We feel it very clearly. It is much more distinctive than before. The other choreography just now The members are all praising you, saying you are so awesome, hee hee..."
You are praising me, but not you. Why are you so happy? Still hehe?
And my strength needs to be verified by you new little girls?
Chi Jingyuan looked at the text on the screen, and the corners of his mouth twitched twice in disapproval.
But it brought on a smile inadvertently.
Maybe because she had just finished working with Chi Jingyuan, Zhou Ziyu felt a little excited at this time. Just when Chi Jingyuan was about to reply, she sent another text message in a sneaky tone: "By the way, I It feels like Nayeon-ni is not very happy. I just came back from the bathroom and I noticed something wasn’t right with her... Maybe after changing the allocation, her parts have become smaller."
Lin Nalian thought she was hiding well, but in fact, most of the members were very discerning, and Zhou Ziyu was the best among them, and he looked at her all over without making a move.
But maybe the eldest sister has already broken the pot. Anyway, the surrounding members already know that she has opinions about Chi Jingyuan, and they are too lazy to pretend anymore.
Sensing Zhou Ziyu's little excitement, Chi Jingyuan looked at the phone and blinked. While sighing that the little spy was really dedicated, he frowned and replied: "She already has enough parts, even if it is reduced a few, she is almost alone." It takes up a quarter of the whole song. If someone from XO had so many parts, fans would have started tearing her apart. It would have been her. If I were in EXO, I wouldn’t be so over the top... She should be satisfied enough. On the contrary, your parts are relatively small."
What he said was indeed his inner thoughts. Fans of EXO members have been torn apart countless times because of the problem of part allocation. Among them, the one who likes to cause trouble most is Wu Sehun and others. Usually SM will actually pay attention to these issues. It's rare for a member to have too many parts.
When it comes to twice, the distribution is actually very disparate. If Lin Nalian is dissatisfied with Chi Jingyuan, it is quite normal. He can understand it, but if she is unhappy because she feels that she has less part, then there is something wrong.
When it comes to having few parts, Zhou Ziyu really has few parts. With just a few words, it doesn’t look very impressive now.
After seeing Chi Jingyuan's reply, Zhou Ziyu didn't know what he thought of and became quiet. After a while, he carefully replied: "Actually, I don't care."
Seeing such self-deception, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but sneered.
Shit.
It doesn’t matter to my part in the title song, it doesn’t matter to the camera showing my face, it doesn’t matter to my popularity.
Then what kind of idol do you think you are?
Wouldn't it be bad to go back and inherit your mother's medical aesthetic business and improve your average appearance level in Tainan?
Chi Jingyuan snorted and tapped the screen to send a few words to expose Zhou Ziyu's disguise and stubbornness.
But just after typing a few times, he stopped again, looked at the screen for a few seconds, and then rolled back all the characters he entered. After thinking about it, he shook his head and typed another paragraph:
"Although you have made great progress, you are still lacking in singing, especially singing and dancing. If you are given too many parts, it will actually be bad. Not only will it not be of much help to you, but you will also be able to perform well on the stage. On the contrary, it’s easy to get hacked because of the live effect.”
"Your advantage lies in other aspects. The style of Twice's comeback this time actually suits you quite well. I will urge your company and Cody to design a stage and MV style that is more suitable for you. If you cooperate with the promotion, the effect will be sure Better than others.”
From Chi Jingyuan's point of view, if Zhou Ziyu really does a lot of parts like Lin Nalian and steals the spotlight on the stage, unless the microphone is not on during the whole process, it will expose his own shortcomings.
For now, instead of singing, I should give her a suitable make-up, sit there or stand on the stage beautifully, do not compete or compete, and occasionally show some innocent expressions or lively and natural expressions when the camera comes over. Smile, this is the most attractive and charming look for her now.
Her counterattack in popularity in the show "Sixteen" has proven this. Many people in the peninsula really dislike her appearance.
Chi Jingyuan felt a little tired after typing a message and sending it. He put down his phone and opened the window a little to let in the night breeze.
It was Zhou Ziyu, he wouldn't have said that to anyone else.
At this time, Zhou Ziyu was sitting on the wooden floor of the practice room, with one leg stretched out straight and the other leg crossed on top, leaning against the wall, head lowered, holding the phone in his hand and looking at it seriously, hanging down. Her bun and bangs covered her dark, bright, but somewhat lost eyes.
Of course she is not indifferent. She must have been unhappy to see her return to the title song with so few parts. It would be even more sad when compared with some other members.
Who doesn't want to show more face as an idol, become more popular, and be noticed and cheered by everyone?
It's just that the company and producer arranged it this way. She actually knew that her singing was not very good, so she accepted the reality and comforted herself.
Originally, she thought she was going to be severely sarcastic by Chi Jingyuan, but she didn't expect to see such a few words.
It wasn't a long sentence, but she read it back and forth several times. In between reading, she seemed to be distracted and remembered other scenes, and unconsciously raised the corners of her mouth, feeling happy there.
You saw it...
He raised his left foot up and shook it slightly a few times.
After a while, Zhou Ziyu, who didn't know what to think of, was awakened by the movements of other members next to her. She raised her head and looked around at her sisters who were starting to pack their things and prepare to return to the dormitory. Then she lowered her head again, pursed her lips, and spoke briefly. He tapped the phone screen hard:
"Um."
