"Qian Yuxi, you didn't come to record the show last week. The fans are very unhappy with you!"
"Currently, Qianyu OPPA ranks first in the program skipping list with two absences. I wonder if you have anything to explain?"
One of the two sentences was said by Bai Enyun, and the other was said by Meng Jia. The somewhat tricky questions that came up were not specifically to embarrass Xie Qianyu. After all, this was the routine at the man's signal.
"Ahem..." Tuo appeared, and Xie Qianyu also cleared his throat and began to explain, "First of all, I want to sincerely apologize to everyone who listened to the show. I really didn't have time to miss the recording of the show."
It was he who vowed that this would be the first resident variety show, and that was how he attracted the initial wave of fans.
It's only been a month and a half since the show started, and the main cast has been unreasonably absent several times. If fans really call and ask questions, then it won't be the smiling tone of the two girls, but they will probably be harassed intentionally or unintentionally. Anti greets his personality.
"I was making music in the United States. I worked for three days without stopping. I couldn't even leave the house, let alone get on a plane to go back to Korea."
Xie Qianyu almost believed it after all the excuses, so he stepped up his game and said, "Fortunately, the production of the new song has been completed. You will not be disappointed by then. I also hope for your support! I will also insist on recording "Idol" in the future. "True Colors"!"
Occasionally absent from the program recording is understandable, and Xie Qianyu was not the only one among the five people present to skip work, but breaking trust with fans is tantamount to giving someone a thumbs up, and Xie Qianyu would definitely not do such a thing that would increase risks for nothing.
With a few words, he solved the problem of his previous disappearance and promoted his new song. Killing two birds with one stone, this potential turmoil was resolved.

............................
Until noon, Li Zhien did not seriously participate in the schedule assigned by her president. She just followed Quan Baolan and the others under the leadership of the QS family's filming team and shot some free MV materials.
It was almost dinner time, and the two groups happened to meet at the corner of the third floor. A smell of strange fragrance was inhaled by several people with the appearance of Pu Suyan.
"Oh, IUxi, are you done with your work?" Park So-yeon was a little frightened by Li Zhi-en's frightening gaze, but she still said hello calmly due to her psychological quality.
Suckling hard through his flat little nose, Li Zhien looked at the small bottle in the other person's hand: "Soyan Oni, what did you drop just now? Is that the one that smells so good?"
"What about this? This is what our...President Xie sent us, saying it is some kind of skin care product to protect the throat...? We are told to put two drops into our mouths after every vocal practice."
"Is it called Qinan Oil or something?"
Pu Suyan frowned: "It seems so, what's wrong?"
"No...nothing...Is your morning trip over?"
"Yes, the main task before returning is to practice, practice and practice in the company. I still have a big can of Qinan oil. Do you want to try it? The president has given it to everyone, and I will give you some to take away. Right~" Park So-yeon is able to kill both men and women not only because of her looks, but also because of her high emotional intelligence and somewhat bold personality.
"No, no, no, let's continue shooting~"
Li Zhien nodded and smiled on the surface and refused very calmly, but inside he started to roar hysterically:
[That’s Qinan Oil! She actually has a big jar that she uses every day! ? 】
----------------------------------
Naturally, the chinan oil that Xie Qianyu prepared for Pu Suyan and the others could not be the kind of essential oil product mixed with the so-called agarwood powder sold by some small merchants. It was the essence squeezed out from a large amount of old chinan wood. The pure woody aroma can be seen.
This kind of thing has a price but no market outside. Even Li Zhien once studied at the home of a vocal teacher arranged by the company and saw a precious small bottle before recognizing that this top quality was actually used by them for daily use.
With an extremely difficult mood, Li Zhien walked into Li Haoyang's recording studio. As long as she completed the final recording, she could leave this inhumane company inside and out.
"Oh, IUxi? It's you."
As soon as IU and Lee Ji-eun entered the door, they bumped into Lee Ho-yang, who was slurping instant noodles from a bucket. The two had met at an official cultural exchange meeting, and the other party even composed the songs for her in the "Real" album, which is not bad. The above is familiarity.
It was rare to meet an acquaintance. Seeing that no one from the QS company behind him came in, Li Zhien finally couldn't restrain his curiosity: "Senior Tiger, are the employees at QS well treated? That Qinan that Soyeon Ouni drinks every day. Is the oil real?”
"Of course it's true." Li Haoyang said matter-of-factly, "Look over there."
Li Zhien followed the gesture of his chin and looked at the other party's workbench: "They are all Sennheiser equipment?!"
"What's more, this room is a complete set of Sennheiser, and the other room is a complete set of Beyerdynamic. The 'brave brothers' next door and I have two rooms, so we can use whichever one we like."
"This guy Xie Qianyu is so rich, how could the things he used for T-ara not be good? But even so, he still managed to install a set of Goethe for CCM before, which really made me laugh... .” I don’t know if it’s rare for a girl to come here, so Haoyang started to educate IU about it.
[Note: Goethe is "known as" one of the four major headphone brands that only Chinese netizens know about, but as an American product it is still highly valued in the United States. 】
“If you don’t like it, you can use your Ke Lixin back to me! (South Korea’s local brands, quite a few are manufactured in our country)”
Li Haoyang turned his head tremblingly, only to find that Xie Qianyu was standing at the door at some point, with "half a T-ara" following behind him.
"Boss...when did you arrive...?"
Looking at Li Haoyang who was laughing, Xie Qianyu's face was full of teasing: "You just arrived when you said I was stingy."
"Hello, IUxi, welcome to QS. I'm sorry, my subordinates are ignorant and made you laugh."
Li Zhien looked at the handsome guy who smiled and extended his hand to her, smiled slightly and stretched out his hand to hold it: "It's okay, President Xie. We have met before, and Haoyang Xi and I also know each other."
His slender fingers held half of the girl's small hand, and the two of them parted with a polite touch, and then looked at a certain loser in unison.
"Li Haoyang, xi, from now on, today, tomorrow... you will not come to work."
Upon hearing this, Li Haoyang, who had been smiling just now, suddenly burst into tears: "Why, President... I was wrong!"
Xie Qianyu motioned to the few people watching the excitement outside to come in. Feeling that they were almost amused, he patted the other person's shoulder: "Because I plan to produce this song myself, why don't I give you two days off?"
It is true that the rhythm of the song "Lonely" is also great, but after all, it is more lyrical. When the original Teddy couldn't be hired, Xie Qianyu decided to do it himself.
"That's good, that's good, boss, you scared me to death." Li Haoyang, who had experienced ups and downs in mood, finally relaxed, put away the unfinished instant noodles, and diligently opened all the equipment to Xie Qianyu, and handed him a Sennheiser's professional monitoring headphones.
"I don't need the ones you used~" waved his hand, and Xie Qianyu found an Audio-Technica monitoring headset from the drawer with ease, plugged it in and prepared it. Since the last time he listened to the demo at Li Haoyang's "outside playback", he has prepared his own equipment in several recording studios.
On the other side, Quan Baolan dragged Li Zhien and others into the recording studio and began to make the final preparations before recording.
Li Zhien was absently fiddling with the microphone in front of him, but his thoughts were actually focused on Xie Qianyu on the other side. Watching him take out an unfamiliar brand of headphones, he thought indifferently:
He is actually a very frugal man. He equips his subordinates with such good equipment and only uses a "second-tier" brand of headphones.
If Li Haoyang heard IU's inner thoughts, he would probably vomit three liters of blood and be unable to complain:
【My eldest lady! Did you know that he also has Audio-Technica’s million-dollar flagship product ATH-W2002 in his home? For someone who plays with luxury goods, you say he is diligent and thrifty! ? 】
----------------------------------
Audio-Technica, a headphone brand from Japan, is known as the "Stranger's Wife". Because of its unique high-frequency processing and tail rendering, the voices of female singers are particularly sweet, clear, delicate and moist, and have been dubbed "female poison" by countless headphone enthusiasts.
Xie Qianyu doesn't have a good impression of the country he grew up in, but he also believes that art has no borders, and he is very comfortable using this brand of headphones.
"Are you ready?"
Xie Qianyu asked inside through the microphone, and several girls nodded. They have been preparing for this song for a long time, just waiting for the "mysterious" guest to arrive.
"Then let's start~"
Li Haoyang still didn't dare to rest. Instead, he wore his own headphones and sat next to Xie Qianyu to monitor together. At this time, QS's wealth was once again reflected - the top-notch microphones in the recording studio are enough for ten people, and now Lee Ji-en and T-ara can record songs in a row at the same time, which greatly improves efficiency.
"지금내가하는얘기널아프게할지몰라Now I don’t know if what I say will hurt you..."
"아마날죽도록미워하게될꺼야 may make you hate me forever..."
Among the few people, there is indeed no Queen with full aura like CL Li Cailin, but there is no shortage of people for the opening task. Xie Qianyu handed it over to... Li Juli!
[Oh, madam, are you kidding me with the opening song? 】
It's a little less domineering than the original version, but the extra sweetness also fits the length of the song. The beginning is well done!
"내가예전같지않다던네말모두틀린말은아니야You are not wrong when you say that I am different from before..."
"The changed me 나도변해버린내가낯설기만해 is also unfamiliar to me..."
In the next part, Ham Eun-jung replaced Kong Min-ji, and the high-pitched part was quite satisfactory.
"Medium" here is not a derogatory term, but a recognition of Xian Eunjing. Her performance is always stable no matter what the situation.
Next, Quan Baolan appears!
This girl with the same pigtails as Dara took on the role of Sandara Park this time and even accomplished more and was more brilliant.
The slightly hoarse voice appropriately expresses the feeling of sadness and loneliness, and the cooperation with Xian Eunjing is a perfect harmony. After this section is completed, we will enter the first climax of the song. Unsurprisingly, the important part such as the first line "I'm sorry" is directly handed over to IU.
She is worthy of being the number one female soloist in the future, her solid singing skills are impeccable, she is energetic, accurate and bright!
"Baby I'm so lonely lonely lonely lonely~"
"Baby I'm so lonely lonely lonely lonely~"
Caught it! Jeon Bo Ram and Ham Eun Jung’s harmony caught up to IU’s performance!
Although it was not the result of one person, Xie Qianyu's eyes lit up when he could catch up with IU's level of singing skills so easily.
No, Quan Baolan’s solo part just now was enough to make his eyes light up, and now he’s getting excited!
The song "Lonely" is not very difficult to sing. After practicing it, it is basically various variations of the phrase "Baby I'm so lonely lonely lonely lonely~". You just need to perform it step by step.
Xie Qianyu's heart was basically focused on Quan Baolan's performance. The song she accidentally selected seemed to be tailor-made for her, and her performance on the first play was perfect.
High notes, emotion, harmony, that kind of miserable sensibility...
As IU finished, the last note fell, and the door of the recording studio opened.
"You sang so well Bao Lan!"
Xie Qianyu, who was overly excited, rushed forward. The girl holding the little one lifted her up and spun her around like a doll.
In fact, the recording just now is not perfect, at least not up to the level of "one take", but Quan Baolan and Li Zhien's vocal channels can be completely separated and used.
Quan Baolan is not a "beast idol" who is famous for her physical fitness. Even if her body is specially adjusted, she is still a delicate and soft girl. She almost rolled her eyes when she was treated like this. When Xie Qianyu saw it, he had no choice but to put the girl down angrily. If the soundproof ceiling in the house hadn't been high enough, he might have thrown her into the air to celebrate.
"What a fuss, this is just a routine operation." Quan Baolan, who stepped on the ground again, coughed twice and pretended to be calm in front of Xie Qianyu.
Xie Qianyu also knew that he had lost his composure. This could only be attributed to his strong preference for Quan Baolan. He couldn't help himself when he saw the girl's unprecedented outstanding performance.
"IUxi's singing skills are really good. Thank you. It would be even better if you could join QS."
Xie Qianyu looked at Li Zhien with a smile, but his words made the originally cheerful atmosphere a bit cold, and no one spoke for a moment.
[Hey, we two are still standing here watching, are you poaching us like this? 】
Not far away, IU's manager and the bodyguard sent by LOEN were sitting there watching and listening, and were suddenly speechless at the impulsive young president.
After a brief panic, Li Zhien gave a very emotional response: "President Xie, do you want to buy LOEN? In that case, I will become a QS artist."
The two looked at each other and smiled, and everyone around them also laughed gregariously: Are you kidding? QS is at best a small-scale private firm. How can He Dehe take LOEN, a giant in the entertainment industry with the investment of a giant like SK? Buy it? Totally impossible.
Li Zhien's words not only showed his loyalty to the company, but also did not refute Xie Qianyu's face in public, and he responded beautifully.
"That's something that can't be said. What if it happens?"
Xie Qianyu smiled mysteriously. If he could have intercepted IU earlier in 2006, when she was running into obstacles, he might be able to take her under his wing. It's a pity that during that time, he had been working hard abroad and had no time to intervene in the affairs of the peninsula. He really missed a lot of opportunities:
DSP and Kara, the old president Lee Ho-yeon suddenly fell seriously ill and became in danger, the golden age of establishing StarShip, the precarious Jixi in the sky...
These and other things may be good opportunities to enter the Korean entertainment industry in the eyes of others, but he has missed them one by one, and now he has to make up for it with even more crazy efforts.
"Let's go. It's almost time for dinner. You've worked really hard today. How many people should I treat to dinner?"
Xie Qianyu looked at the two people from LOEN and joked: "IU hasn't been preparing for a comeback or any pictorial schedule recently, right? Does she need body control?"
"Bao Lan, do you want to go together?"
"Me...? Forget it, the company provides nutritious meals. If you eat more, you will have to work harder to lose weight..."
The recordings of others were far from usable, so Li Haoyang, who was left behind, naturally had to worry about these things. Xie Qianyu smiled and rubbed Quan Baolan's pigtails, followed the LOEN trio and walked out arm in arm, heading straight to the elevator entrance.
Xian Enjing looked at the man's leaving figure from a distance, with a slightly strange look on her face.
[I am currently using Audio-Technica’s m50x. Listening to the girl group is really... cool...! My wife and Mercedes-Benz won’t give me any money? ? ! 】
