The night sky was pitch black without stars, and the moon was not very bright, so there was really nothing interesting to see.
But Chi Jingyuan stood by the window for a while, and was finally awakened by the footsteps of the waiter serving food. He finally looked up, sighed, closed the window, rubbed his cheeks and returned to the box.
This time he participated in the music festival special, and his gains were quite good. Although his popularity base is already very large, he did not have a rapid and visible increase in popularity like Zione.T or Wu Hyuk, but thanks to his
With the recent skyrocketing ratings of Wu Chao, as well as the continuous enthusiasm and attention from the audience and the Internet for more than a month, his popularity has also increased significantly, and he has gained a group of variety show fans who originally did not pay attention to boy bands.
And when the last episode airs in a week, and at the same time the sound sources of the songs "Rooftop Room" are released, it is expected that with the momentum of the show and the quality of the songs themselves, they will become popular for a while.
Coupled with the fact that I have met two good friends, Jung Hyung Don and Lee Ji Eun, I have gained quite a lot from the music industry this time.
The main reason is that Chi Jingyuan feels that the past two months of the program have been quite interesting and fulfilling.
In the evening, I had dinner with the "Infinite Challenge" program crew and guests until after one in the morning. After that, I took the nanny car back to the dormitory in Seoul overnight. Because it was dark and drove slowly, it was almost four o'clock when I returned to the dormitory.
At the same time, I was drunk, so I washed myself casually, lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
The next morning, when Chi Jingyuan was still a little dazed, he was called by his manager and followed the gathered XO members into the nanny car and headed to the event venue in a daze.
Yesterday he was the last to rest. The other members were quite energetic. They started chatting away as soon as they got in the car. Chi Jingyuan couldn't listen to a word and sat there for a while in a daze before turning the car off.
He opened the window and waited for the cool morning breeze to blow onto his face, which made him feel a little more awake.
"shock……"
After blowing the wind for a while, he felt much better. Just when Chi Jingyuan took a breath, he suddenly felt his cell phone vibrate in his pocket.
I took it out and saw that it was a text message from Zhou Ziyu. When I opened it, there was a selfie inside.
In the photo, she is wearing a dark blue school uniform, with a 45-degree lens angle, long brown hair shawl, a pair of eyes on a short and round face that are trying to open wide, and her mouth is slightly open, although she is smiling.
, but it always looks dull.
Chi Jingyuan looked at the photo carefully and discovered a problem with this girl. She was really bad at taking selfies. Although like other girls, she often likes to take beautiful selfies, but she occasionally sends them to him.
The photos I looked at all felt weird. Either there was something wrong with the angle, or there was something wrong with the expression. No matter how you looked at it, it looked a lot worse than the real person.
Next to the photo was written the words ‘Go to school!’. It was obvious that the girl was on her way to school and took a selfie and sent it to him. She seemed to want to strike up a conversation.
Looking at this slightly sudden photo, Chi Jingyuan chuckled after a few seconds.
He somewhat understood what Zhou Ziyu meant.
The girl seems a little worried that last night's exchange may affect the relationship between the two in the future. She may not want the relationship between the two to change. She may also be afraid that Chi Jingyuan will change his attitude towards her because of last night's phone call.
attitude or opinion.
Anyway, they are all kinds of sentimental worries of little girls.,
But it's not clear.
So early this morning, I pretended that nothing happened. I even chose such an early time to send a silly selfie, probably just to test his tone.
Because although we often chatted and occasionally posted two selfie photos, Zhou Ziyu would not have posted anything so early unless there was something special.
No matter how you look at it, it feels a bit deliberate.
but……
Chi Jingyuan smiled and shook his head.
However, it's really cute.
He looked at Zhou Ziyu's dumb look in the photo, tapped the screen with both hands, and replied unceremoniously:
"It's so ugly!"
After replying, he closed his eyes and blew in the morning breeze from the window for a while. After feeling much refreshed, he joined the group in the back row who were joking and joking.
On the other side, Zhou Ziyu, who was sitting in the nanny car and being sent to school by her manager along with the other two members, after seeing Chi Jingyuan's reply, her nervous thoughts calmed down and she smiled.
The corners of his mouth slightly curled up, as if his mood suddenly became brighter.
But after studying the content of the reply for a while, after reading the three words "It's really ugly", I couldn't help but wrinkle my nose and snorted softly.
"You are ugly!"
…
The reason why I got up so early today is because there is a relatively important platter concert today, hosted by the government and MBC, the DMZ Peace Concert for the 70th Anniversary of Liberation. Since it is a relatively important commemorative performance, the company still pays more attention to it, okay
EXO, who had no group schedule for several days, reunited and came to the venue early in the morning to prepare and rehearse at the World Cup Arena.
And it's not just today. There is also a "National Cantata" performance on the 15th that still requires EXO's participation. For two consecutive days, it is a concert with such ZZ meaning that I can't even put it down.
In addition to attending concerts during the day, Chi Kyung-won has to return to the company to work overtime in the evening and seize the time to record Kim Taeyeon's solo album.
"Cause you are."
"Like the light under the rain..."
"stop!"
At this time, they are in the process of recording one of the included songs, "U R". This song is Ji Kyung Won's favorite among all the songs in Kim Taeyeon's solo album, except for the title song "I".
But again, this song is very difficult to sing. Even with Kim Taeyeon's level, the recording was not as smooth as previously imagined.
Although Kim Taeyeon was singing with great concentration into the microphone in the recording studio, Chi Jingyuan outside the soundproof room still shouted stop, and the sound engineer who was operating the software equipment also pressed pause.
Chi Jingyuan bent down and talked into the microphone and said what was wrong with the recording just now: "The emotion was a bit lacking, and the appeal was a bit lacking. Let's try it again."
"..."
Kim Taeyeon, who was singing enthusiastically, didn't feel any dissatisfaction after being interrupted. After listening to Chi Kyung-won's suggestion, she nodded, held on to her headphones, and started singing again.
"Like the light under the rain..."
"Stop, it's still the same problem, come again."
"Like the light under the rain..."
"Stop, this time is not as good as the last time. Taeyeon, your voice is gentle and thick. Emotion and appeal are your strengths. We have analyzed the song "U R" before. This
You must grasp the feeling of a period..."
"Come again..."
"OK, this time is good, continue."
Through this period of cooperation, Kim Taeyeon has seen Ji Kyung-won's work style and serious attitude when entering work many times, and the entire album production team has also been working together for a long time.
A good relationship is a good relationship, but Chi Jingyuan will never relax when it comes to work.
And to be honest, Kim Taeyeon thinks it's better to be stricter. It can be said that she spared no effort on this album.
At this moment, the two of them had just finished their platter concert and rushed back to the company to record. Apart from a few drinks of water, they hardly took any rest.
We have already worked so hard, and in order to improve the final quality, it doesn’t matter how strict we are.
"Stop, the high-pitched sound in this section is a bit messy."
"stop……"
After recording for a while, there was another continuous mistake. Chi Jingyuan felt that Kim Taeyeon's condition was not very good, so he asked tentatively: "Do you want to take a rest?"
"No, no, no, I'll just wait for a minute to find my state." Kim Taeyeon waved her hand to indicate no, took a deep breath and closed her eyes, nodding her head as if she was adjusting her load. After about a minute or two, she opened her eyes.
He opened his eyes and gestured to the outside: "Come on."
Her blond slightly curly hair was tied up and tilted to one side of her shoulders. Her hair looked a bit dim under the lights of the recording studio, not as shiny and shiny as in front of the camera. She was wearing the outfit she had just changed into after the performance.
Casual clothes, big headphones on the head, half of the head is covered.
Looking at it from Chi Jingyuan's point of view, it may be because she has been very tired recently, or it may be because it is already late. At this time, this girl looks obviously a little tired, and she does not have the dazzling brilliance of a TOP idol in front of outsiders. Looking at
Surprisingly a bit ordinary.
But her petite body seemed to contain a lot of energy. Especially when she closed her eyes slightly, held her headphones, and sang into the microphone again, a sense of confidence and concentration suddenly disappeared from her body.
It comes out and surrounds you, making people unable to take their eyes away.
"Full of the entire night sky"
"You are my star"
"Yeah U R~"
…
"OK, that's almost it. Let's get here first today."
I was busy until midnight. After seeing that the progress was almost enough, Chi Jingyuan stopped today's recording and announced that he was off work.
Obviously everyone was a little tired at this time. When they heard what he said, Kim Taeyeon, who had sang with a loud voice just now, was full of energy and was very devoted, suddenly withered like a withered wild flower, and patted her.
He breathed a deep sigh of relief into his chest.
No matter how much you like singing or how much you make albums, people will still get tired.
"Kangsangmita."
"Thanks for your hard work."
While packing their things and greeting each other, Chi Kyung-won and Kim Taeyeon took the drinks handed by their respective assistants, opened them, took a few sips, and then began to discuss the next recording schedule.
"Nuna, are you guys coming back on the 18th?" Chi Jingyuan took two sips and put the drink next to him, opened his notepad and looked at the schedule for the next few days, then raised his head and asked.
"The MV for the title song and the album will be released on the 18th and 19th. The first stage will be on the 21st at "Music Bank" hosted by you and Irene, but the promotional activities should start on the 18th."
Kim Taeyeon bit her straw, reluctant to put down her drink, and blurted out the next arrangement without even thinking about it.
"Then starting from the 18th, the recording work here will be suspended for a week. There will be a lot of things during the return period, and it will definitely not work if you are too tired. People can't stand it." Chi Jingyuan nodded and began to arrange the pick-up.
Next task: "We will start over after the busiest first week of Girls' Generation is over."
"okay."
Even an iron man couldn't handle the fact that he had to stay up and work overtime every night in the early stages of his comeback. Kim Taeyeon nodded and agreed, but she rolled her eyes, raised her hand and made another suggestion: "Then let's record more in these two days.
Yes, I have to work overtime like today. I won’t be back until the 18th anyway, so I’m relatively relaxed these two days before my return.”
"But I can't..."
Spreading his hands, Chi Jingyuan looked at her speechlessly: "After the performance tomorrow, I will fly to Hong Kong overnight with the members, and then there will be two days of concerts. It will be the 18th when I get back."
"Oh, yes, XO has a performance, I remembered." She blinked and smiled.
"Don't worry, we have made rapid progress before. We are on schedule and even beyond... That's it. I'll ask Brother Zaixian to send the specific work schedule to Director Jin Shu when the time comes."
Jin Shu is Kim Taeyeon's personal manager. She usually stays with her when she is doing solo activities. She is now relatively familiar with Ji Kyung-won.
After confirming the next recording arrangements and saying goodbye to all the staff, Chi Kyung-won and Kim Taeyeon took the elevator downstairs with their managers or assistants, and walked together towards the parking lot.
"By the way, Jingyuan, have you seen the trailer for our comeback?"
The manager followed silently, while Chi Jingyuan and the two of them drank drinks and stood in front chatting quietly. As they talked, Kim Taeyeon mentioned this incident.
Girls' Generation has been quiet for more than half a month after the activities of "Party". It is finally time to release this regular album after more than a year. This regular fifth album with double hits has released one of the hit songs today.
The trailer of the song "Lion Heart" became a hot topic.
The results of "Party" can only be said to be OK, but not particularly good. However, after all, it is just a preview album, and it is mainly a warm-up effect. Can SNSD be able to survive the big twists and turns of the "Love Era" and the member's withdrawal from the group?
To defend one's position as the number one girl group, one still has to look at this formal specialization.
If it succeeds, then it will be "worthy of being a girl's generation" and "if you are young, you will not be able to usurp the throne".
If I fail...then everything will go downhill beautifully.
"Of course I watched it."
After stepping out of the elevator, Chi Jingyuan replied matter-of-factly.
He went online specifically to watch it today.
"What do you think of the trailer? Which part impressed you the most?"
"Which song? "Lion heart"?"
"Um."
"Um, what's the most impressive place?" Chi Jingyuan seemed to remember his feelings at that time, and was a little hesitant whether he should say it or not.
"Yes, tell me quickly!" Kim Taeyeon stared at him curiously while holding a drink.
Although this sister has short legs, her steps are not slow and she does not lag behind others when walking side by side.
Chi Jingyuan paused for a moment, his expression was a little exciting, but he still said it: "The deepest impression I have on your trailer... is that Yuli-senpai is really dark and glowing in the trailer, and her skin color looks completely different from other people's.
She didn’t have the same painting style, and she was standing in the C position. It was impossible not to see her. I just stared at her the whole time. I was a little confused at the time. How could she steal the camera like this..."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
"Stealing the scene...ah ha ha ha ha..."
After hearing Chi Jingyuan's somewhat nonsensical words, Kim Taeyeon was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help raising her head and laughing loudly. The hohoho logo smile instantly echoed through the empty and silent parking lot.
Those who didn’t know better thought it was haunted.
"Ah, oh Mo, you are so venomous...I asked you how your song was, who asked you this?" She blanked angrily for the whole day, still unable to hold back the smile on her face: "But you said
That's right, Yuli is a little darker this time, I don't know how she got it, she doesn't really want to steal the spotlight... But don't say it in front of her, hahahaha..."
"As for the song, "Lion Heart" is pretty good, but I think it's a bit too sweet. I heard that "You Think" has a more mature style? When will the trailer be released?"
"Too sweet? That's not good! ...The day after tomorrow."
"Let's see then, Nana, SNSD returns to Dafa?" He had already walked to his nanny car to say goodbye. After Chi Jingyuan stood still, he stretched out his hand and waved to her.
Kim Taeyeon looked a little tired, but her expression was very happy, and she gave a high-five with a smile:
"Dafa!"
…
"By the way, Jingyuan, I don't have time to talk at night."
On the way back to the dormitory, Park Jae-hyun, who was driving, seemed to remember something, and suddenly spoke, making Chi Jingyuan, who was a little drowsy in the back seat, open his eyes: "You asked me to do it last time, Pei Suzy.
The matter of the role in the TV series "Wandering Attachment" has almost come to an end."
Thank you bro for your great rewards, monthly tickets, and recommendations. Thank you very much.
The eight months and nine months should go by relatively quickly, but I won’t just jump to it with just one sentence. After all, there are some things that still need to be explained.
