After a brief conversation, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but murmured and repeated a sentence after hearing the words. Although he used a sentence, his tone was surprised and emotional.
If you don't tell me, you don't know. When Kim Taeyeon said this, Chi Kyung-won suddenly remembered... Also, it was debuted in 2007, and it is now 2017. It turns out that Girls' Generation has debuted for ten years.
Ten years is an extremely long journey for anyone, and for the idol profession, it represents the entire career, all the excitement and youth.
But after he reacted, the way he looked at Kim Taeyeon became slightly strange.
If it's been ten years since she debuted... isn't the girl in front of me almost thirty?... She's about to enter middle age.
Kim Taeyeon seemed to feel something, but Chi Jingyuan's expression was very vague, so she just looked at it strangely, then nodded and continued: "Yes, this year is the tenth anniversary of our Girls' Generation, so no matter what
The fans’ expectations and our ideas are all to come up with a 10th anniversary commemorative album.”
"This is what it should be. There are very few idol groups, especially girl groups, that can reach this level of ten years. SNSD is the first one. Nuna, your fans should also be looking forward to such an album.
Fans, plus SNSD didn’t come back for the entire last year, so it’s really time to release a solo album this year, so the company shouldn’t have any objections... eh~"
Chi Jingyuan nodded in agreement after hearing this. He thought there was nothing wrong with this idea, and it was time for Girls' Generation to release a song.
He just suddenly paused at the end. He seemed to have remembered something. Thinking of the tone in which Kim Taeyeon had just come to him to tell him that she had something serious to say, he raised his eyebrows as if he understood something. He looked at Kim Taeyeon and asked in a low voice: "By the way, Noona."
I remember this is the contract year of SNSD, you guys..."
The financial benefits of commemorating the 10th anniversary may not be obvious, but it is very meaningful to any idol group and their fans who have followed them for many years. In addition, they did not come back last year, so it is logical for SNSD to release a song this year.
That's right.
But Kim Taeyeon still came to talk to him, and her expression was a little ugly... After Chi Kyung-won thought about it for a moment, he guessed that there was a problem with the contract renewal.
"……well."
Sensing what he meant, Kim Taeyeon didn't hide it anymore. She sighed and nodded: "There is a little problem with the contract renewal. There are a few children... and we have not reached an agreement. I guess the contract will not be renewed."
Hearing her words, Chi Jingyuan was still a little surprised even though he expected it. After a few seconds of silence, he curiously asked: "Who are the seniors?"
"Xiuying has confirmed that she will not renew her contract, and Zhuxian is still negotiating, but it is probably difficult to reach an agreement. Both of them want to go in the direction of actors, and you know the situation at the company very well, so~
"
Although it was news that would make headlines as soon as it was revealed, Kim Taeyeon had no intention of hiding it and directly revealed the secrets and progress of the group's contract renewal to Ji Kyung-won.
When Chi Jingyuan heard the names of these two sisters, he nodded slightly and understood.
After a girl group develops to a certain level, they will start to focus on individual activities. At this time, the best route is either solo or filming... As for fashion, the fashion route of Peninsula Idol has not been opened yet, and currently only Chi Jing
The source is that one person has the title and resources of a top luxury brand.
There are several people in Girls' Generation who want to be actors, including Choi Soo-young, Seo Joo-hyun, and Kwon Yuri. These seniors have more or less participated in film and television shootings in recent years. Their ambitions are obvious... but it's a pity that they are all in vain.
Not very big.
All the film and television resources, acting skills, talents, etc. of the entire Girls' Generation are all concentrated on Jung Ling Yuxiu's YoonA senior. Even if they fail in the street, they still have resurrection coins, and the other members can only pick up some scraps. Once the reaction is
If it's not good, I won't get any roles for a few years. It's impossible not to have some opinions in my heart after so many years. Maybe I'm smiling on the surface, but I can't say what I hate in my heart.
Now is the time to seriously consider my own development, and it is natural for me to leave.
Chi Kyung-won originally thought that Kwon Yoo-ri would not renew her contract.
After a second's pause, Kim Taeyeon added another sentence, but this time her tone was slightly lower: "And Pani~ She means to go to the United States to develop, and she probably won't renew her contract."
"Senior Pani?"
Ji Kyung Won was a little surprised when he heard this name. Huang Mi Young has always been very popular within SNSD and has always been the number one person under the TOP. Although her solo performance last year was outperformed by Jung Soo Yeon in a vindictive way, to be honest, the statistics in all aspects are
She is already pretty good among female solo artists. Logically speaking, she can renew her contract and continue her solo career.
But he reacted in the next second... The impact of last year's military flag incident was indeed too great, causing Huang Meiying to dive for four or five months. After her tentative appearance at the Variety Show Awards at the end of the year, she was criticized again.
It will be difficult to recover after a few years.
That scandal had a huge impact on her reputation and image. It can be said that it directly cut off her future development in the peninsula. It also affected Girls' Generation. The fact that SNSD did not have any activities in the second half of last year is partly related to this.
Unlike the other two people who pursued the development of actors, Huang Meiying's departure was somewhat helpless.
"well……"
Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but sigh.
In fact, Chi Jingyuan saw clearly that although Choi Soo-young and others left the group for their own reasons for their development, the most important thing was that they all knew in their hearts that the group Girls' Generation no longer had much vitality.
In 2014, Love Era and Jessica Jung's departure from the group were devastating blows to SNSD. The entire group's popularity, fans, and various statistics were all cut in half.
The comeback in 2015 was actually SM's best effort to save SNSD's golden brand. SM invested a lot of resources, including the first five regular albums + double main albums with different covers, super luxurious configuration, and all kinds of promotions were free of charge.
.
The result was unsatisfactory. "Stand out and show off the queen's style despite being sniped in the summer girl group battle", and a dozen or so singers were selected. This announcement sounds impressive, but the sales volume of 150,000 was cut in half again.
The fact that die-hard fans have lost fans and the number of passers-by has decreased significantly has actually declared SM's powerlessness against SNSD.
Moreover, Girls' Generation's comeback costs far more resources than other groups, and the investment and return are not proportional. With this money, it is better to invest in a new group.
Therefore, SM has significantly reduced its resource investment in Girls' Generation since 2015. The group has been inactive for the entire 16 years. Everyone can see that this once glorious girl group has come to an end, and as a member of it
You know it better than anyone else.
...If SNSD was still at its peak, even if it had little resources and could only sideline the industry, those sisters would probably not leave.
"Then what will happen to Girls' Generation in the future? Will they just disband?"
After a few seconds of silence, Chi Jingyuan asked next.
"The current intention of the company is that it will not dissolve and continue to maintain the activities of the five people, but..."
Kim Taeyeon shrugged, and Chi Jingyuan also understood instantly.
Brokerage companies rarely announce the disbandment of their groups. Even if all members are gone, they must say they will not disband with a sign.
But now there are only 5 people left in the original nine-member group, and there will be no activities in the future. What is the difference between disbanding and disbanding?
FX also said it would not disband, but it looks like there is still movement.
Thinking of this, Chi Jingyuan, who has been in the music industry for so many years and is used to seeing the ups and downs in the music industry, couldn't help but let out a deep sigh of disappointment.
Thinking back to 2012, when he debuted, Girls' Generation was still at its peak. At that time, the entire music industry was full of SNSD's voices, and SNSD's advertisements and shots could be seen everywhere. The company also specially arranged for SNSD's sisters to come.
Collaborate with them, Junior Brother.
At that time, even Girls' Generation was a big star for Ji Kyung-won, and he couldn't help but have some filters for these sisters from SNSD.
Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, this once-famous group would come to an end and disband.
The profession of idol is really almost dazzling when it is glorious. Standing under the stage lights and exuding charm, surrounded by countless fans, it feels like being the center of the world.
But life is also terrifyingly short. It is always bound to youth and will disappear from everyone's sight inadvertently...and it is not only short, but also very fragile.
"..."
The ending of Girls' Generation made Chi Jingyuan feel a little bit the same, but after being a little disappointed for a while, he quickly adjusted his state, exhaled and looked at Kim Taeyeon: "What do you want from me?"
"Now is the time for us to come up with the 10th anniversary album, because this may be the last album released by all of us. Fans are also looking forward to it very much. They have been waiting for a long time, and we also want to hold a tour this year... but because we can't
The company is not very willing to renew the contracts of all employees."
When the conversation returned to business, Kim Taeyeon also got serious and talked about the current situation: "But we are still discussing this. The company's attitude is not bad and there is room for concessions, so I don't need Jingyuan's help for the time being.
And I actually think it’s not good for you to interfere in this kind of thing..."
"Well, Nana, you can talk about it yourself first."
Chi Jingyuan knew what Kim Taeyeon meant and nodded lightly. It was really not easy for him to get involved in Girls' Generation's own affairs and the company's affairs.
But then he warned me: "If you really can't reach an agreement, you can tell me again."
"I got it." Kim Taeyeon made a scissor hand gesture, seemingly relieved, and then continued: "The reason I'm looking for you is... If we can reach an agreement with the company by then, and the tenth anniversary album will be released this year, I want you to
Help me choose a song..."
"Song?" After hearing this, Chi Jingyuan, who had just said, "Come to me if you have any questions," immediately had a bitter look on his face: "But Noona, I don't know how to write a girl group song."
"yue~" Kim Taeyeon immediately looked over with disdain after hearing this: "Twice's "cheer up" won this year's New Year's song because she can't write a song? Do you want to pretend like this?"
This topic seemed to arouse the dissatisfaction that had been buried in her heart for a long time, and then she whispered vaguely and babbled: "I feel that without Twice and this song, we would not have ended so quickly...
"
Chi Jingyuan almost laughed out loud when he heard this sister murmuring to herself, and glanced up and down at this self-deceiving senior.
Twice is 18 or 19 years old this year. Sister, you are almost 30. Whether or not you have this song, you are not on the same track.
"I'm not asking you to write your own songs. Of course, Jingyuan, you have to be inspired. It would be best if it's a song of the level of "Loved Before"..."
Kim Taeyeon was drooling while daydreaming, and then she immediately straightened up, showing the demeanor that a mature woman should have: "Based on my understanding of the company and the current situation where we cannot renew all contracts, even if we release an album,
We will definitely not provide a lot of resources, and the music library will probably not all be open... So if you don't have any inspiration and can't write it, I mainly want you to pay attention to whether there are any songs that are suitable for us in the music library. Are you currently in the company?
The authority is much greater than ours."
"Just looking for songs?"
After hearing this, Chi Jingyuan seemed to be relieved as if a heavy burden had been lifted: "I thought you were asking me to be your producer."
"What's that expression on your face? Why is it so embarrassing to be our producer?" Kim Taeyeon immediately got angry when she saw his expression.
"The main reason is that the seniors of SNSD are so senior that I'm afraid I won't be able to protect them."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Chi Jingyuan waved his hands with a smile. He had heard about the exciting situations in this former top female team.
If he works as a producer for them and the two of them get into an argument or even get into a fight, is he just watching the fun or trying to stop the fight?
Before Kim Taeyeon could frown and explain, he immediately spoke again and made an OK gesture: "Okay, I understand. I'll try to see if I have any inspiration first... and then I'll look through it in a few days to see if I have any inspiration."
A good song for you.”
"Then I'll leave it to you..."
Kim Taeyeon also relaxed a lot. She is very aware of Chi Kyung-won's musical aesthetic and reliability.
Although we were very familiar with each other, I felt a little embarrassed when he agreed so readily, so I asked tentatively: "Do you want me to treat you to dinner tonight?"
Chi Jingyuan shook his head: "I'm going to go back to bed after I finish my work. I just landed in the morning, so I'm not jet lag yet."
"What about tomorrow? The day after tomorrow is the Spring Festival. You haven't had any activities recently. You must be on vacation, right?"
"Not tomorrow. I have an appointment with my girlfriend to go to the movies tomorrow."
Chi Jingyuan said with a smile... Yes, he is the Twice member who accelerated the end of your Girls' Generation.
"Ha~"
I don’t know whether she was unhappy with Twice or the word ‘girlfriend’ in Chi Jingyuan’s mouth. Kim Taeyeon snorted softly and immediately became confused: “You are so popular... and Twice has also been doing it recently.
It’s very popular. How dare you, a popular idol couple, to go to the cinema to watch a movie? Are you desperate? Do you really think that the company’s public relations are omnipotent? Chanyeol Xi has just been exposed, do you want to be the next one?”
"Who said we were going to the cinema? Let's go watch it at my house."
"Tch...the chaebols are amazing...what are you watching? Do you have any good movie recommendations recently? I just plan to go see a movie in the next two days."
"Nu, are you watching a movie alone?"
"Izukurei? Don't ask about Nuna's private life. I don't know how many people are chasing me... I want to ask you which one you recommend. Don't interrupt."
Chi Jingyuan looked at Kim Taeyeon, who was holding her head back, holding back her laughter, and said righteously:
"Of course it's Yoona sunbae's "Kyoto" which just came out. I'm a big fan of hers!"
…………
"What are we going to see?"
In the speeding Mercedes, Minami Nai, who was in the passenger seat, tilted her head and looked at her long-lost boyfriend who was driving. His delicate eyes were shining and he asked expectantly.
Chi Jingyuan looked at the road ahead without turning his head, but he said as he should:
"Of course it's "Your Name". Didn't we agree on it before?"
