Hearing Chi Jingyuan's unceremonious comments about "Party", Sunny frowned and glared in displeasure, and hit him with her crossed legs: "What are you talking about."
After all, "Party" is also the title song of Girls' Generation's summer comeback preview album. Although it is not a hit song, the evaluation from the outside world and fans since its release has been pretty good. It was barely able to make it out among the crowds of several girl groups.
It was a bloody road, but now he said it was not as good as a song released by a little-known new girl group that had no response.
It's really a bit excessive, we are Girls' Generation.
And she had never even heard of the song "What's the beginning of today"?
"That's right."
Chi Jingyuan, who was lightly kicked, had no intention of restraining himself. Instead, his expression looked a little innocent. He handed the earphones over again: "Nu, why don't you listen?"
He is not a single fan of SNSD, and he has no idol filter for these girls. He thinks "Today Starts Us" is a good pure song in this style, and "Party" has just been released.
After hearing it, he thought it was quite ordinary.
P.A.R.T.Y~~P.A.R.T.Y~~
What is this word?
I can only say that it is worthy of Girls’ Generation, and the lyrics are just like that.
But Sunny is too familiar, so she can say anything without any reservations. Chi Jingyuan also knows that this sister will not be angry because of this. If it were anyone else from SNSD, "Party" would definitely be much better, and they would kill the opponent instantly
.
"Go to hell!"
Sunny had no desire to listen and ignored the headphones handed over to her. She narrowed her eyes again and sneered.
"..."
To be honest, it's easy to make people dissatisfied. Chi Jingyuan shrugged and didn't force it, but when he talked about "party", he became more interested. He took off the other earphone, changed his sitting position and looked at Sunny: "Speaking of which,
Noona, how many first places did you win with "Party" this time when you were young? I saw it on the forum the day before yesterday, was it three or four?"
"Four."
"There seems to be another one called "The Show"?"
"Why specifically mention "the show"? Not one person from "the show"?"
Sunny looked at Chi Jingyuan speechlessly. She felt that this younger brother might have some ideological problems. It is probably because EXO is too successful now. In the first half of this year, they have won dozens of first place thanks to their many comebacks. Now it seems that they are no longer there.
I put too much emphasis on one of the little singing programs on some small channels.
Have you forgotten how long it took for EXO to debut and get the first one? Have you forgotten how you cried excitedly backstage after you got it?
"Of course I count, of course, I just mentioned it casually."
Chi Jingyuan quickly gave up with a smile. Of course he didn't mean to look down on anyone, he just simply thought that the judging and waiting system of "The Show" was too funny and not very valuable.
The peak showdown between EXO and Big Bang, "Love Me Right", "Orientation Sniper" and "Loser" were fierce. In several other singing programs, the competition was extremely fierce. The two groups almost took over all the other programs.
I was an alternate, but when I got to "The Show", the first place was awarded to UNIQ. Isn't this a joke?
By the way, what kind of group is UNIQ?
But there was no need to say more. He smiled and then quickly said: "Look at Nu, with the popularity and fans of your Girls' Generation, it has only been three weeks since your return, and only one of you..."
"Speaking of which, don't you look at who your competitors are?"
Sunny knew what he wanted to say, so she interrupted Chi Jingyuan directly and looked at him angrily: "Why are you acting like an outsider? I don't know if idols will return to singing. If I can get one, it will only depend on my own performance."
In addition, who is your opponent at the same time is also very important? How many times in May did you still not play against Big Bang?"
"And this month's "Music Bank" and "Music Center" have always been your XO's 'oh my my my'. Last month's song was always a candidate. Did one of them get twenty?
Already..."
"about there."
Chi Jingyuan calculated in his mind, then showed a somewhat reserved smile and nodded to give the certification.
"Yeah, Yixi..."
Seeing Chi Jingyuan's expression, Sunny felt like she was getting angry. She couldn't help but sneered and didn't bother to pay him any attention. Then she said, "Apart from you, other girl groups in the same period worked very hard. AOA and sistar also achieved very good results."
, and Girlsday, who is at the same time as us, in order to compete with us, their fans even made three consecutive bids... By the way, have you heard of this?"
"No, those two days were quite busy."
Chi Jingyuan shook his head and waited for the other party to explain.
"Oh, it's just..." Sunny heard this and immediately started to educate the other party.
The so-called three consecutive votes were made by fans of several other girl groups during the same period in order to fight against Girls' Generation and prevent them from winning the first place. During the fan voting session of the song competition show, the originally conflicted fans of the three girl groups finally cleared up their old feud.
They joined together and voted frantically for their rival Girlsday, who returned to compete head-on with SNSD at the same time, hoping that they could defeat Girls' Generation, which was in decline, and let out a fierce sigh of relief.
"Who won in the end?"
He looked at the other person very curiously, hoping to hear the same answer as he thought.
"What do you think?"
Speaking of this, Sunny couldn't help but show a reserved smile similar to Chi Jingyuan's face just now: "Of course it's us."
"well……"
pity.
Chi Jingyuan sighed lightly, but did not say the next sentence.
Girlsday made their comeback at the same time as SNSD this time, but they didn’t beat Girls’ Generation. So far, they haven’t beat anyone. “Ring My Bell” is a pretty good song, but they haven’t beat “Party”.
What a pity.
Sunny heard Chi Jingyuan's weirdness, but now she was in a better mood and didn't bother to pay attention to him. The two of them crossed their legs together and sat on the sofa to chat.
"By the way, your voice sounds a little hoarse. Do you have a cold?"
"Yes, I may have caught a cold after getting caught in the rain a few days ago. I have a bit of a cold."
"Is it serious?"
"It's nothing, just take some medicine and you'll be fine in two days,"
"That's fine...but you're attending a platter concert and you slip and catch a cold. Should you go to the church to pray?"
"You believe this too?"
"..."
Anyway, they have finished styling and rehearsing, and now they have nothing to do but wait for the concert to start in the evening. The two of them are sitting here chatting and playing with their mobile phones. As time goes by, other artists from other groups also come.
After walking out of his room, the rest area gradually became lively.
After sitting for a while, he felt a little thirsty and had finished drinking the water in the cup next to him. He held the mobile phone in his left hand, picked up the water cup in his right hand and walked to the water dispenser next to the rest area to start filling up the hot water.
I feel a little uncomfortable after catching a cold and don't really want to drink iced drinks.
By the way, speaking of which, he remembered that this water cup was given to him by Zhou Ziyu.
"Where is this place? Haha, this is the backstage of SMTown Osaka concert."
"Yes, this is where all SM stars gather..."
As soon as he started to collect the water, Chi Jingyuan heard a shouting sound not far away. He turned around and looked over there, and saw Huang Meiying holding a selfie stick and a handheld camera, looking at
The camera was smiling and saying something, and behind her stood three members of SNSD, Lim Yoona, Kim Hyoyeon and Choi Soo-young. They were also winking at the camera and doing business, adding a few sentences from time to time to introduce the situation at the scene, while Kim Taeyeon stood behind her.
While smiling, he watched several people filming without participating. He seemed to be acting as a scene attendant or something like that.
Chi Jingyuan knew at a glance what kind of show these ladies were probably filming, because normal people don't have such rich expressions and intonations when speaking in private.
When Chi Jingyuan looked over, the ladies over there seemed to have seen him too. Those who were doing a show had no time to say hello, but Kim Taeyeon's eyes lit up, she waved and came over.
"...Family members, Tiffany is going to launch a raid today! Everyone, be prepared!"
Before Kim Taeyeon could come to the side, Huang Meiying said something to the camera and rushed over with the girls behind her. She overtook Kim Taeyeon and pointed the small camera in her hand at a trot.
Targeted Chi Jingyuan: "The first target is found! XO's Yuan Xi!"
"Um, hello seniors..."
Chi Jingyuan, who was collecting water, was suddenly caught by the camera. He was startled for a moment and quickly said hello politely.
You can usually be more casual, but you still have to maintain the courtesy of seniors in front of the camera. As seniors, these sisters don't need to care, but he still has to pay attention.
Moreover, at this time, these girls from Girls' Generation had exquisite makeup on their faces and different hair colors. They exuded a good aura. Several people looked at him with variety show smiles on their faces, and they couldn't help but
It also created a little bit of pressure.
"Wow, I met XO's Yuan xi just at the beginning..."
Huang Meiying patted Chi Jingyuan and narrated in an excited tone, unable to hold back her laughter as she spoke,
Because Kim Taeyeon suddenly ran from the side and behind Chi Jingyuan, her height of more than 1.5 meters was completely blocked by the body of more than 1.8 meters. Then she stood behind and jumped up and down. Every time she jumped, her head jumped.
Chi Jingyuan's shoulders were exposed, and then he quickly fell down, and then continued to jump up and down, his golden braid swaying, like a kid stealing the spotlight from behind, having a great time.
almost,
I don’t know why this sister was so excited and suddenly had a convulsion.
Although he felt something was wrong behind him, Chi Jingyuan didn't look back because he was being filmed by the camera, but Huang Meiying and others in front couldn't help but laugh.
"Yuan Xi, please say hello to the audience." Lin Yuner said with a smile.
"Anihasay, I'm Yuan from EXO."
"We are filming "Channel Girls' Generation", Yuan Xi, can you cheer us up?"
"What?" Chi Jingyuan was slightly stunned after hearing this. He didn't hear the other party's voice clearly.
""Channel Girls' Generation," have you heard of it?"
"Ah, of course I have."
After listening to it again, he immediately reacted. He knew from the name that it should be a member of Girls' Generation, so he immediately showed a business smile, took down the cup with water with his left hand, and made a fist with his right hand: ""Channel Girls' Generation"
",Fighting!"
"Hahaha."
"I feel like Jingyuan's reaction is so forced."
"I can't help it, it's too sudden."
It seemed that the recording scene seemed a bit stiff and awkward. Several people from SNSD couldn't help laughing. Sunny over there noticed the movement and came over. Huang Meiying temporarily turned off the camera, and several people started talking.
After greeting and chatting for a while, a few minutes later, the group of girls took the camera again and walked towards the next target.
Judging from the direction they were going, it seemed to be Red Velvet's lounge...
However, Kim Taeyeon and Sunny did not follow, they stayed and sat on the sofa.
"Are you filming a SNSD drama?" Chi Jingyuan took a sip of hot water, looked at the sound of people making a show again, and asked the two sisters next to him.
"Yes, for this comeback, "Channel Girls' Generation", a group drama that specially cooperated with the filming, aired its first episode on the 21st. On Style...haven't you heard of it?"
"Um...no."
"..."
SMTown was held at the Osaka Dome on the 26th. Although Ji Kyung-won returned to the performance stage, he was not in good condition because his leg injury was not healed and he also had a cold. He and Son Seung-wan performed on the duet stage
It was okay, but when it was EXO's turn to dance fiercely, it was a bit difficult, and they were reluctant to follow the rhythm of the song.
However, many viewers didn't care about this. Some fans who specifically bought tickets for him were satisfied as long as they could see him.
Moreover, after today's concert, he did not return to the hotel to rest for a night before going back tomorrow. Instead, he greeted the members and managers after the concert, and ran directly to the airport with his assistant, returning to Seoul overnight.
Because I had an appointment with the members of "Gayo Festival", Jung Hyung Don and IU, to practice the new song together.
This time, the "Gayo Festival" was not the only time the three of them contacted and worked during the filming. In fact, most of the work for this special was done in private, including communicating with each other, selecting songs, and writing songs.
Some time ago, when their group's song style had not yet been decided, Jung Hyung Don often called the other two to discuss ideas, and Lee Ji Eun even contacted Chi Kyung Yuan every day for several days, sending him song demos to listen to.
and discussion.
In front of the camera, the program effects are done for business, and behind the camera, the serious creation and songwriting is done.
Of course, the way of getting along with each other in front of and behind the camera is completely different, but through this cooperation, Chi Jingyuan, Zheng Hengdon, and Li Zhien have really gotten to know each other a lot. At least in this cooperation, he feels that working and getting along are quite good.
happy.
The two songs "LEON" and "Rooftop Room" that their group has decided to use have completed the final creation. It is even said that the choreography from IU has been completed, and tomorrow they will start dividing parts together and communicating about the performance.
process, and start practicing songs and dances.
Unknowingly, the filming of the "Infinite Challenge" Music Festival has begun for more than a month. Counting the parts that have been recorded before and have not been played, there are only two episodes left before the final day of the music festival, and the program team notified the final concert.
It's August 13th, so the time left for them to practice is actually quite tight. In the next period of time, Chi Jingyuan will focus on preparations for the singing festival.
At least let them, a group that has attracted much attention from the outside world, live up to the expectations of fans and audiences and stand out in the entire "Gayo Festival". At the same time, it will also allow this band song that he just finished not long ago to bloom.
of brilliance.
At the same time tomorrow, the program team of "Infinite Challenge" will also send people, but it is not a regular program recording, but just shooting some footage for editing and VCR production.
"well."
After Chi Jingyuan rushed back to Seoul in the middle of the night, he sat in the nanny car returning to the dormitory and looked out the window and sighed.
Unfortunately, my leg has not recovered yet, and I also have a cold. When I need to start working seriously, my physical condition is not very good.
What bad luck.
…
Early the next morning, Chi Jingyuan and his assistant rushed to Sanxingdong in Jiangnan District, the building of LOEN Company.
The appointment place this time was not at SM, but at IU's company LOEN.
Because the song "LEON" requires a large number of backup dancers according to the stage design they communicated privately, and this song is led by IU, the backup dancers are naturally found by LOEN, so it will be more convenient to practice here.
Moreover, the previous recordings were all in SM, which was not very suitable.
This is the first time for Chi Jingyuan to come to this company that is almost owned by IU alone. Although it is a subsidiary of SK, the largest telecommunications company in the peninsula, and also has the most famous music website Melon, a large part of their reputation is still
It comes from a popular female soloist like Li Zhien.
Although LOEN's artist management department is not well-known except for IU and Son Ga In, the company's total market value is very high, much higher than JYP and the like. Looking at the market value, LOEN is more qualified to become a leader in the music industry.
The Big Three', and JYP only deserves to touch the Porcelain Frappuccino.
Chi Jingyuan took a look at it from a distance before he came in in the car. The decoration of the building was quite good, and it looked much better than the Apgujeong building currently used by SM.
"Anihasay."
"Hey Yigu, Yuan Xi is here."
He did not walk in from the main entrance. The assistant drove the car to the parking lot according to the instructions, and then entered the building directly from the elevator in the parking lot. The IU assistant who had been waiting there greeted him warmly, and
Some internal employees around him couldn't help but fix their eyes on Chi Jingyuan.
Even though people in the industry can come into contact with artists every day, it is really not an honor for them to meet people like Chi Jingyuan in real life.
"The practice room prepared by the company is on the fourth floor. I will take you there. Xi Zheng Hengdon has just arrived."
Under the guidance of the assistant, Chi Jingyuan looked at the interior decoration of LOEN with some curiosity, then walked into the elevator and went up to the fourth floor. When he arrived at the door of the practice room, the assistant knocked gently and led Chi Jingyuan in.
Go in.
There were not many people in the practice room, including Li Zhien and Zheng Hengdon's respective managers, and a few others who were probably from Li Zhien's team.
"Coming!"
"Jingyuan, you are the last one!"
Seeing Chi Jingyuan walking in, they both stood up and said hello with a smile, and their tone was very familiar. Chi Jingyuan, who arrived last, also bowed slightly and complained with a smile:
"Brother, you came too early. I'm so sorry that I was the last one."
At the same time, he looked around and said, "This practice room is really good."
"How does it compare to XO?" After Chi Jingyuan walked in, IU looked at him with a smile and asked.
This girl is now in her own territory, and her aura seems to be much stronger than when she was in SM. Even though she is wearing a plain sportswear, tied up hair and that face, she looks very young, but she still
I can feel a calm and aura of a company lady.
"much better."
Chi Jingyuan didn't feel ashamed at all. Looking at the obviously better-decorated practice room around him, he told the truth.
The lighting and walls alone are obviously much better, and he really has had enough of the blue sky and white cloud screens and wallpaper in EXO's practice room.
Although the dormitory has been replaced with a new one, the company building and practice room still have not kept up with their progress, and I don’t know when the new SM building that they have been talking about moving will be officially put into use.
A few people exchanged brief greetings. Because they were all very busy and knew that time was very tight, they didn’t talk much. They quickly sat down together and started to get down to business.
"The lyrics of "LEON" have been sent to you before, and this is a new version divided into parts."
As IU said that, she took out a few A4 papers from the side and handed them to Chi Jingyuan and Chi Jingyuan respectively, and then blinked: "Hyung Don Oppa and Jingyuan, please take a look at it first, and we will discuss it if there are any problems."
