Chi Kyung-yuan and Kim Jong-hyun stood together, making scissor-hand gestures towards the cell phone lens raised in front of them, laughing and taking two selfies.
I happened to meet some of Shinee's brothers at the company when I went to have lunch today. After chatting for a while, I found out that Kim Jonghyun was going to be solo soon. When Jonghyun saw Ji Kyungwon, he enthusiastically called him to come to the practice room.
Let's have some fun together and give him some advice on his stage.
Originally, Chi Jingyuan had just been waiting for Park Jae-hyun to pick him up in the practice room for a commercial production meeting. After thinking about it, he ran to Kim Jong-hyun's practice room to watch the excitement for a while. He and this brother had a good relationship.
Okay, if the other party wants to do a solo, it would be nice for him to take a photo with him and help with publicity.
"Brother, when will you officially return?" After taking two selfies, Chi Jingyuan took the orange juice just given to him, took a sip and asked.
"From the 7th to the 8th, we will release the sound source of one of the included songs for warm-up promotion. The official comeback will be on the 12th." Kim Jonghyun, who had just finished dancing, had sweat on his forehead and gestured with his hands, said with a smile.
Kim Jonghyun is really talented. There are a total of seven songs in his solo album this time, four of which were written by him. Moreover, he also contributed a lot of self-composed songs to the company's music library. Ji Kyung-won remembers EXO last year
When selecting songs for the new album, he saw two songs that Jonghyun participated in writing lyrics and composing, and they were almost chosen.
"The 12th? Isn't that next week?" Chi Jingyuan spread his hands when he heard this day: "Brother, are you going to collide with EXID? They have been trending recently."
The two most popular girl groups in the music industry recently are Apink and EXID.
Apink was domineering with "LUV" at the end of last year. Since their return on November 21st, throughout the entire month of December, they have won almost all the top spots on all singing programs.
The reason why I say almost is because EXO snatched a "Music Bank" trophy from them with "Let It Be", which made Apink's results in December seem a little less than perfect. If it weren't for EXO's arrogance,
If you step in, Apink will definitely achieve a very remarkable achievement: completely taking over all the top songs in a natural month.
This achievement is truly amazing. No group in the music industry has ever achieved this.
Because of this flaw, Zheng Eunji called Chi Jingyuan two days ago to complain fiercely. As a result, Chi Jingyuan's gloating made him even more uncomfortable.
Although XO snatched one place away from this epic achievement, it only gave fans less capital to brag about, and it was completely harmless to the overall results. Relying on the strong monopoly behind it, Apink this time
With their comeback, "LUV" won a total of 17 No. 1 hits, setting a record for a girl group to win No. 1 hits.
Even Chi Jingyuan did not expect that their comeback would be so strong this time. EXO's highest record so far is also 17 No. 1 songs. They only achieved this level with last year's hit "Roar".
In addition to Apink, EXID has been called back to play songs thanks to Hani's direct-recording sound source. Their sound source finally hit the top of the major charts at the end of last year, and in 2015 it became more and more popular.
I came too high, I just got a substitute on the 3rd, and I am about to become the next big trend. I don’t know if Kim Jonghyun can beat them when he meets them as a solo player.
"Hey, the peninsula music industry is so big and there are so many artists. No matter when you come back, there will be strong opponents. The most important thing is to be yourself and improve the quality of your music." Jonghyun waved his hand.
, he looked like a senior and said something very touchingly.
"Brother, your consciousness is so high." Chi Jingyuan seemed to be blinded by the holy light behind his head.
"Hahaha, that's it, it's fine if the company wants me to bump into EXID, but if it wants me to bump into EXO, then I definitely don't want to, haha..."
After chatting with a smile for a while, Chi Jingyuan checked the time, stood up from the floor and patted his pants: "Brother, I'll leave first... I will send you an INS message to support you when you return."
"Thanks in advance!"
After waving goodbye, Chi Jingyuan said goodbye to Kim Jonghyun, left his practice room and took the elevator to the first floor, preparing to return to XO's practice room to rest for a while.
There was no one in the practice room at the moment. Today, except for Chi Kyung-won who had to shoot a personal commercial that he had just received, Byun Baekhyun and Kim Jongdae also went to run their own personal schedules, and all the other members were there.
Doing a live broadcast on Line TV.
Line TV is a new group advertisement for XO. In addition to shooting related pictorials, there is also a group live broadcast to promote line TV. The specific content is that five or six members go out to set up tents and camp together.
Let’s play small games and chat, and promote line TV by the way.
Although Chi Jingyuan didn't go, he still wanted to take part in it. Judging from the countless variety show talents of EXO members, this thing must be very boring to shoot.
As soon as he got out of the elevator and hadn't taken two steps out, another elevator next to him also stopped on the third floor. The elevator door opened with a "ding" and several familiar figures walked out one after another. Chi Jingyuan turned his head.
I took a casual look and found that they happened to be a few people from red velvet.
But this time there are not four of them, but five.
"What a coincidence?" After the elevator door opened, Ledbeibei and the others looked up and saw Chi Jingyuan not far ahead. Their eyes lit up. After Pei Zhuxuan got off the elevator, he quickly took two steps forward.
She had a nice smile on her face, blinking her eyes and looking up at him.
"Jingyuan? Why are you here alone?" Jiang Seulqi and Son Seungwan also smiled and waved their hands, and walked over happily. It seemed that they were in a good mood.
"I just went to Jonghyun brother's practice room for a walk." Chi Jingyuan nodded and smiled at them and said hello, and then his eyes were simply locked on the man standing in the crowd. It seemed that he had met him twice but had always been there.
The face of the girl who didn’t even have much impression.
Her long black hair was tied into a braid on the back of her head. Although she didn't wear much makeup, her face was very fair, her skin was very good, and she looked pure.
At this time, Chi Jingyuan looked at her. Her big eyes were flashing and she stood there looking at Chi Jingyuan, and she wasn't looking at her secretly, as if she had the feeling of 'even if you know, I still want to look at you'
, but not as cautious and shy as many newcomers.
After looking at it twice, he lowered his head, leaned next to Pei Zhuhyun and asked in a low voice: "Is this the new member you told me about the day before yesterday, who joined your group?"
Although Chi Jingyuan and Pei Zhuhyun have not met recently, the two often communicate with each other on mobile phones at night. Pei Zhuhyun just told him two very important things two nights ago. One is that the company has announced to them the next comeback.
The thing is, red velvet has held several album production meetings with the producer and team in the past two days.
Chi Jingyuan had known for a long time that there was nothing unexpected about their return, but when he saw how happy and excited Pei Zhuhyun was when he said on his phone that they were coming back, he was actually quite happy for her.
But it is indeed a good thing to be able to return. It means that the company has not given up the hope that their group will still become popular. However, after two consecutive losses, this return is really crucial for Ledbebe.
, even more important than EXO's return this time, because EXO's return only determines whether they can wash away the haze of last year and go further, and the performance of Ledbebe's return this time will largely depend on it.
It may decide whether this combination needs to continue.
If this time is like last year's two, not only there is no splash but also a lot of criticism, then it may be really difficult for red velvet in the future. Even if they don't disband, I guess they will at least be in hiding for a long time.
However, there is no need for Chi Jingyuan to talk about this kind of thing. Pei Zhuxuan and the others must be more or less aware of it in their own hearts. We will talk about the failure after the failure. At least now, we should devote ourselves to it with a better mood.
Prepare with all your heart.
The second thing is that red velvet has added a new member, the girl that Chi Jingyuan was looking at just now.
"Nai, this is our new maknae, Yelin..." The sound and heat coming from an extremely close distance made Pei Zhuhyun's ears feel a little itchy, and she felt a little commotion in her heart before she quickly moved a step aside.
He walked a little further away, then waved behind him and shouted in a friendly tone.
Upon hearing this, Jin Yelin rushed over and stood aside, looking at Chi Jingyuan curiously and expectantly, smiling brightly: "Senior Yuan, Aniha Sai, I am Jin Yelin yeri,
I...hehehe..."
She looked at Chi Jingyuan and didn't know what she was happy about. As she introduced herself, she laughed.
"Anihasay..." Chi Jingyuan nodded and said hello with a squinted smile, and took a look at the new maknae of red velvet.
Originally, the memory of the girl named Jin Yelin was not very deep in Ji Jingyuan's mind, but after Bae Zhuhyun's reminder, he remembered that he had met her twice at family concerts, and she had performed on stage as a member of SM Rookies.
Unexpectedly, within a few months, Jin Yelin would transform from a trainee to a new member of Red Velvet.
Chi Jingyuan didn't pay much attention to Chi Jingyuan the first two times they met, but this time he took a closer look and found that this little girl was quite special. She was not as low-key and cramped as the maknae of many groups. Instead, she seemed a little bit stronger and very...
He is cheerful and likes to laugh. Just saying hello has already left a good impression on him.
Pei Zhuhyun said that this girl seems to have been born in 1999. Although there is a big age difference, they were very familiar with each other when they were trainees. I heard from her that they took good care of this little girl in the past...
But 1999, isn’t that the same age as Zhou Ziyu?
When Chi Jingyuan thinks of this year of birth, he always equates it with a little kid, but Jin Yilin looks a little more mature than Zhou Ziyu.
Although the impression was good, Chi Jingyuan didn't say much. After all, she was not very familiar with her before and she was just a newcomer. After nodding to Jin Yilin, Chi Jingyuan opened his legs and walked towards the practice room, and
Pei Zhuxuan also sped up and walked side by side next to him. The two of them were very close to each other, talking quietly as they walked.
"..." Jin Yelin blinked and saw that her captain and XO's senior Yuan walked together naturally, walking side by side and whispering to each other as if they were very intimate. She opened her mouth and looked a little enlightened, pointing at
Their backs turned to Jiang Seqi next to them and they asked tentatively: "Unnie, could they..."
"Ani...it's not that bad." Seeing that the new maknae had some misunderstandings, Jiang Seulgi quickly waved her hands to deny it. However, remembering what she had peeked at recently, she hesitated and then added: "Not yet.
As for, I can’t say for sure in the future…”
I used to feel that there was a very special feeling between Bae Joo Hyun, Unnie, and Ji Kyung Won, a close relative. They seemed to be very close and had a tacit understanding.
In the past two days, Bae Zhuhyun often suddenly went crazy in the dormitory at night. She rolled around on the bed and laughed non-stop. At first, Jiang Seulgi didn't know what joke she saw that made her so happy. Later, she secretly observed and discovered that this
Ernie is messaging and chatting with someone.
Although she didn't ask who it was, and the other party probably wouldn't tell her, she was so smart that she guessed it right away, and there was a high probability that it was Chi Jingyuan.
Jiang Seulqi felt that her guess was correct. If she guessed wrong... then she would really have to take a high look at this Unnie...
"Hahaha..." Sun Shengwan laughed as soon as he heard this, and stretched out his hand to hug Jiang Seulqi.
"..." Jin Yilin seemed to understand something, nodded clearly, looked at their backs brightly, followed the other sisters and followed in the direction of the practice room.
"Is the production meeting over?" Chi Jingyuan asked Pei Zhuhyun softly.
"It has been launched several times in the past few days, and it should be open for a few more days, but the general style and framework of this comeback have been determined, and our producer is quite powerful." Speaking of the comeback, Bae Zhuhyun's eyes widened.
After a moment, he licked his lips and said briskly.
"What style?"
"Yes... I won't tell you!" Pei Zhuxuan glanced at him proudly and chuckled.
Seeing her so happy, Chi Jingyuan also shook his head and smiled.
"By the way..." He seemed to have remembered something, and asked closer, "Your new maknae was born in 1999, right?"
"Yes." Pei Zhuxuan smoothed her hair and nodded naturally.
Chi Jingyuan hesitated for a moment, then asked: "Then she... still calls you Ernie?"
"What do you mean? You..." Pei Zhuxuan was stunned for a moment, opened his mouth slightly and asked stupidly, and then suddenly reacted in the middle of the sentence. A murderous aura instantly appeared in his eyes, and he glared at Chi Jingyuan and shouted angrily.
One sentence: "Ah, Chi Jingyuan, you..."
As she said that, she clapped her hand over, but Chi Jingyuan had already expected it and accelerated his pace. He jumped forward two meters and just arrived at the door of EXO's practice room. He turned back to her with a smile and pursed his lips, and then
He opened the door, rushed in, closed the door, patted his butt and disappeared.
Pei Zhuxuan looked at the closed EXO practice room door angrily. She hesitated for a moment, fearing that there were other people inside, but she didn't open it in the end. After taking a few breaths, she remembered Chi Jingyuan's mean look just now, and after thinking about it, she
Laughed angrily.
"Unnie, what's wrong? Where's Jingyuan?" At this time, Jiang Seulqi and the others came up from behind and looked at Bae Zhuhyun, whose chest was heaving a little strangely. They didn't hear what the two people were saying clearly from behind, they only saw
Chi Jingyuan trotted open the door and left.
"Huh...it's okay, he went in first." Pei Zhuhyun still seemed a little concerned about her image in front of her members. She glanced at it and smoothed her hair. She was too lazy to care about the annoying person anymore. After laughing, she talked to the members.
Talking about other things, he walked towards the practice room.
Chi Jingyuan happened to meet Pei Zhuhyun and the others, which made Chi Jingyuan feel good at the moment. After sitting in the practice room for a while, he received a call from Park Jae-hyun. He packed his things and went downstairs to the parking lot, got into the nanny car and headed towards the advertisement.
Driving to the place appointed by the company.
They will first go to the advertising company for a production meeting, confirm the plan and process of shooting the advertisement, and then go directly to the studio to start the official shooting.
As soon as they started driving, a nanny car had already stopped in the parking lot of the advertising agency. The agent sitting in the car was giving Jin Jixiu some final instructions:
"Jisoo, when you meet the PD later, remember to be polite, especially to the partner, Chi Jingyuan. This case company spent a lot of resources to get it for you. You
I also participated in the audition, knowing that the competition is very fierce."
The agent paused for a moment, and after observing Jin Zhixiu's expression through the rearview mirror, he went on to tell a relatively secret news: "I heard a senior at the advertising agency tell me that Yuan's agent started to
When I heard that this advertisement was for a collaboration with a trainee, I wasn’t very happy about it, and the relationship between SM and our company was relatively modest. At that time, my senior said that looking at his expression, he looked like he wanted to reject this advertisement.
The core is Yuan. As long as the other party opens his mouth, both the brand and the advertising agency will definitely agree... But I don’t know why they didn’t continue to struggle with this issue later. "
"Chi Jingyuan is really popular recently. As you know EXO, he has a lot of fans and is very popular with brands. The influence of "Misborn" is still there. The opportunity to work with him in advertising is really great.
It’s rare. If this commercial is shot well, it will gain more exposure than your previous ones combined, which will be very helpful for your future debut.”
"Take good care of it."
Kim Ji Soo was sitting in the back row, listening carefully to her manager's instructions, her lips pursed slightly unconsciously, looking a little dazed.
After hearing this, she blinked and laughed, and patted the back seat very familiarly:
"I understand, don't worry Oppa."
Kavinka's hair was so strong that a layer of it was scratched off
