After talking about the live broadcast plan for the next few days, Li Chenghuan took a sip of water, looked at the memo in front of him, and finally said something very important: "Jingyuan, the company has received the brand invitation letter from GUCCI, inviting you
Participate in Milan Fashion Week, which will be held on the 23rd of next month, and GUCCI’s 2016 spring and summer series ready-to-wear show."
The tone of his voice rose, and there was obvious excitement in it.
"Ah qingjia?"
"omo!"
As soon as the news came out, Chi Jingyuan had no reaction. Several members and assistants nearby couldn't help shouting in surprise. They all looked at Li Chenghuan with surprised eyes, and finally focused on Chi Jingyuan.
Perhaps due to many reasons, it may be because the market of Peninsula itself is not large, or it may be because Peninsula stars are not well-known internationally. The fashion resources of most celebrities in the entire Peninsula entertainment circle can be said to be pitifully poor.
The resources available are very cruel. It can be seen from the red carpets of award ceremonies in recent years that most female artists are dressed in black and white, and the dresses are almost all out of season. They are not used at all for in-season and super-season.
Think about it, some even come directly wearing HM.
However, fashion is naturally linked to celebrities and entertainers. Many people actually want it very much, but there is no way to get it. Let alone several top fashion luxury brands and the four major fashion weeks, it is only held in Seoul.
The fashion brands and fashion weeks are extremely popular.
In the small circle of Peninsula stars, only a few actors standing at the top of the tower can obtain excellent fashion resources.
Although the staff and members had previously known that GUCCI, one of the top luxury brands, had been in contact with the company and seemed to be somewhat interested in their own maknae, in fact most people did not care too much and felt that there was no hope of winning the title.
But now the brand actually sent an invitation to Chi Jingyuan to watch the show, and the intention to further deepen the cooperation is already obvious.
Among them, a few people who have always been interested in the fashion industry and focused on development in this area, such as Kim Jong-in and Wu Shixun, looked at Chi Jingyuan in a strange way.
It was not easy for us to be on the cover of Peninsula Fashion Magazine, and we were very happy to be endorsed by Seoul fashion brands. Now you have directly participated in GUCCI and Milan Fashion Week?
I'm really crazy...
I want to go too.
Although they didn't speak, Chi Jingyuan probably felt this meaning from his eyes.
He blinked without much reaction, just nodded and replied: "Brother, I understand."
"Well, let's go here today. You guys go back and prepare for the special stage that will be practiced in a few days... Jingyuan will stay here for a while. I have something to tell you."
Li Chenghuan nodded. After telling the news, he didn't say much in front of others. He very wisely announced the breakup of the meeting and left Chi Jingyuan alone.
He knows that GUCCI's resources are very coveted and can easily arouse the envy of other members of the team, so it is not suitable to discuss this matter in front of everyone.
Originally, SM's plan for EXO included Kim Jong-in as the main fashion promoter, and Oh Se-hun to a lesser extent. If it were normal fashion resources, the company would probably give them directly to these two people. But this time, SM has no room to choose at all.
Chi Jingyuan, whom GUCCI took the initiative to identify, could only be grateful and surprised to be hit by a title of this caliber.
When everyone in the conference room was almost gone, Li Chenghuan waved to Chi Jingyuan to sit closer, then took out a stack of documents and handed them to him, saying: "Milan Fashion Week starts on September 23rd, GUCCI
It’s the first one this time, so our plan is to form a team for you two days in advance and take a flight on the 21st to prepare there, and then see if there are any opportunities for other brands besides GUCCI..."
Chi Jingyuan took the information and looked at it, and at the same time, "This is the women's wear show, right? I remember that the 2016 spring and summer men's wear show has already been held on Saturday."
"That's right, but it's actually the same for us. Remember to prepare during this time."
"good."
Chi Jingyuan glanced at it briefly, then shrugged and smiled bitterly: "Brother, you know, actually I don't know much about fashion. I usually don't pay much attention to fashion weeks..."
"Haha." Thinking of Chi Jingyuan's personal clothes matching in his daily life, and the various labels with anime and co-branded elements on his clothes, Li Chenghuan couldn't help laughing twice, and patted his shoulder hard: "Actually,
I don’t know much about it, but I can’t help it. This is the process of getting the title, and the brand just values you and has chosen your name.”
"By the way, I heard through some channels that the person GUCCI is most optimistic about you this time is their new creative director who was appointed at the beginning of this year. This designer hopes to make the GUCCI brand younger, and it is said that he also does the same
I like to add some animation elements to my works, but I don’t know if there is any reason why he values you.”
"According to what I know, this creative director has now secured his position and is very valued and liked by shareholders. Moreover, GUCCI has been paying attention to us for a year or two before him. Looking at it this way, we will get the title next.
The possibility is very high, and it must be of a large regional scale..."
He said he didn't understand, but Li Chenghuan really talked about it non-stop. He had obviously done a lot of work specifically for this. Looking at his excitement, it seemed that Chi Jingyuan would be attracted by him in the next second.
It seems that the official announcement has become the spokesperson.
"I understand, brother, I will find out more after I go back."
Without refusing, Chi Jingyuan nodded and said with a smile.
Although he is not very interested in fashion, he sometimes cannot understand the fashion expressed by many designers on their clothes. In the past few fashion weeks he attended on the peninsula, he basically spent his time watching shows in a daze.
And I feel that the female idol sitting opposite me looks much better than those clothes.
But no matter what, work and interests still need to be separated, and the GUCCI title is actually a rare resource for him. Seeing how envious Kim Jong-in and others are, he still has to work hard to grasp it.
…………
While EXO is practicing intensively to prepare for the next few special stages, the variety shows recorded by other members during this period have also been broadcast one after another, such as Park Chanyeol's "Law of the Jungle", Kim Jong Dae's "Masked"
"The King of Singers" and musicals, etc., all caused a very good reaction after the broadcast and became one of the hot spots in a short period of time.
Being famous is like this, everything goes smoothly. Although some members have a big gap in popularity and popularity compared to the top member of the group, Ji Jingyuan, but no matter how you say it, they are still members of the top boy group. Take it out.
Participating in the show is still very important. Even if there is only one person, the role he plays will bring much more popularity than those second- and third-tier combinations.
Some media have already declared that "the peninsula music industry in 2015 belongs to EXO" to show their current status.
It has been a week since Chi Jingyuan's "Rooftop Room" was released. So far, it has firmly occupied the top spot on several music charts. As expected, it has occupied the top spot on this week's music charts. It is this year's number one.
This is the song with the best sound quality in the music festival.
In addition, Lee Ji-eun's "LEON" follows closely on the music chart. The performance is also very dazzling. The charming song has changed her past style and makes people listen to it again and again. The songs of ZION.T and hyukoh are again included. In addition to
In addition, several other collaborative songs have fallen behind on the charts after the popularity of the song festival gradually passed.
Because of the unexpected success of "Rooftop Room", both the melody and lyrics were loved by many people. As a result, many viewers were dissatisfied with the fact that there was only one live stage after the song was released, and they left messages online to appeal.
SM let Chi Jingyuan come out to perform a few more live shows to make them enjoy themselves.
It's a pity that this request may not be met. SM is not a fool and of course knows that the audience wants to see it, but they only plan to let Chi Jingyuan perform in the concert.
Want to see it? No problem, just buy a ticket and enter.
Apart from this, Da Ge will probably not participate, but there is hope that this song will appear on special stages such as the year-end music competition.
On the other hand, after Girls' Generation returned for a week and the busy schedule eased a little, Kim Taeyeon immediately returned to the recording work of her album non-stop.
…
"What are you doing?"
On the night of the 29th, it was still in SM's recording studio, but at this time the staff were still making preparations and had not officially started work. Kim Taeyeon, who had just finished her day's schedule, was sitting on the sofa and slurping something her manager bought.
She was eating takeaway food to fill her belly when she saw Chi Jingyuan next to her taking a selfie with her mobile phone, and she couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Take a photo and post it on Instagram to preview the live broadcast in the next two days."
Chi Jingyuan took a selfie, checked it a little, added some random copywriting, checked that there were no sensitive words, and uploaded it directly to his Instagram.
There are still two days before the live broadcast on the 1st, and the company asked them to promote it on their SNS. They said it a few days ago, and Chi Jingyuan just remembered it.
"ha?"
Kim Taeyeon puffed up her cheeks and looked up at the dim lights of the recording studio and the obvious shadow covering Chi Jingyuan's body. Her voice was vague and she looked at him speechlessly: "Is this how you take selfies? This
Is it possible to take photos with lights?”
"Take random photos, it's so natural. It's boring to have all the photos with special angles and lighting."
Chi Jingyuan didn't care about this. After clicking send, he smiled and pursed his lips: "And I think my rice quite likes this style."
"That's because they like you, so they will agree to whatever you post..."
Turning her head to eat with disdain, the girl also hummed to clarify the essence of the matter.
Kim Taeyeon likes to play on SNS very much, likes to express herself and likes to communicate with fans. Her ins is very early. It was opened and operated in 2013. She often uploads some photos of her daily life. She runs it very carefully and is far from the average person.
Chi Jingyuan, a paddler who spends three days fishing and two days drying nets, is incomparable.
To this day, this sister still has the largest number of SNS fans among all female artists in the entire KPOP circle. She ranks first among female artists with 5.5 million INS fans, behind BigBang’s GD. And due to the popularity this year, the number of fans has increased rapidly.
EXO Chanyeol, and Ji Kyungwon who are far ahead and have already passed the 10 million mark for a long time.
She and Chi Jingyuan had been inseparable for a long time, and they had always been very jealous and envious of this lazy person who clearly didn't pay attention to management, but still had a rapid increase in fans.
While eating, she suddenly remembered the key point that Chi Jingyuan just said: "By the way, you are talking about the live broadcast of the V live app... We also received work in this field when we were young, and I am quite interested.
I’ve already had a lot of ideas in the past two days before it went online, and I feel like a lot of things can be communicated through live broadcasts through interaction with fans, which feels good when I think about it.”
Her eyes were moving, and she seemed to be thinking about how to broadcast live.
"Okay, I'll give you some attention when the time comes, and I'll make your live broadcast fans angry."
Chi Jingyuan logged on to Instagram and looked at the messages that had just been sent and were already flooding the screen. Then he walked to the side and took a bottle of drink. After opening it, he took two sips and asked casually: "Nana, you guys got one from "Music Center" today."
Is it in place?"
"Of course."
"So you have taken all of them this week? Already five?"
"Yeah, awesome, right?"
"Hmm...awesome."
Chi Jingyuan paused for a second, then followed her and praised her with a smile.
After Girls' Generation defeated the girl groups of the same period in "Party", this time they are returning with a regular album. Although the sound source performance of "You Think" is somewhat unsatisfactory, "Lion Heart" is quite good and has been on the charts for the past two days.
Single Retrograde, this week plus today, has won 5 No. 1 songs. At the same time, with their current sales of 60,000, and regular sales of 130,000, they can be regarded as standing out in this girl group war and defending the number one girl group.
of dignity.
Although, some statistics have been completely cut in half compared to their peak.
But after all, it has been eight years since their debut, and after such a long time, they can still maintain a top-notch standard and popularity. Among the Peninsula girl groups, which generally have a short flowering period, they are actually very powerful.
She usually doesn't have much appetite, so after taking two quick bites of food, Kim Taeyeon wiped her mouth and prepared to start working. However, at this moment, Chi Jingyuan sat next to her with her mobile phone: "Nuna, about
The process, general plot, and storyboards of the MV for the title song "I" are almost complete..."
The preparations for the album MV have already started when the arrangement is completed. After the recording and mixing stages are completed, the shooting will officially begin.
This time for Kim Taeyeon's solo album, only the title song "I" will be shot in the MV. However, although there is only one song, the company has given a lot of resources, just in terms of clothing and styling, including the cooperating designers and cody.
We carried out special design and matching, and even directly allocated a budget to go overseas for filming and filming.
As soon as she heard about her MV, Kim Taeyeon immediately cheered up. Her back, which was still slouched because she had just eaten dinner, instantly sat upright and listened carefully.
"You have heard the plot during the previous meeting. You play a waiter who is often made things difficult by his boss. He is powerless and directionless and engages in various busy and repetitive actions every day. After being unable to tolerate it, he decides to resign and run to
In the distance, through the unremitting yearning and pursuit of freedom, happiness and a better life, I finally encountered a more ideal and beautiful self..."
As the main operator, Chi Jingyuan is very familiar with everything about this solo album. The same is true for the MV content that has been confirmed through meetings:
"The plot is actually very simple. In addition to setting the atmosphere through accompaniment and melody, the main thing is to use beautiful natural scenery to show your personal beauty and charm, as well as the theme of the song... Regarding the shooting location, we based on the company
The photos and effects of the staff who were sent out in advance for filming have been determined..."
"Where!"
Kim Taeyeon sat upright, eyes wide open, looking expectant.
"The restaurant where the plot was filmed is in Auckland, New Zealand, and the main scenery filming location is Bethels Beach on Muriwai Island, a 40-minute drive from the city center."
While talking, Chi Jingyuan pulled out several photos and videos from his mobile phone and showed them to Kim Taeyeon next to him. The girl's head immediately came over and she wanted to put her eyes on the screen.
“This is a very famous place in Auckland for photography.”
While showing her photos and videos, Chi Jingyuan gave her a brief introduction: "Bessels Beach is a black sand beach with a very wide viewing angle. Walking barefoot on it will produce clear footprints, between sunrise and sunset.
At this time, the entire world will be dyed warm golden, and the water vapor produced by the extended water surface and the crashing waves will have a dense brilliance..."
This was not taken by Ji Jingyuan, but was sent over by SM staff after the photo was taken. The person who took the photo was obviously very skilled, and the entire beach and sea were captured in a very dazzling and beautiful way.
"Oh Yigu, it's really beautiful."
After two glances, I fell in love with this girl. My fingers were swiping left and right on Chi Jingyuan's phone. I was so happy watching it that I wished I could fly there tomorrow.
Chi Jingyuan saw Kim Taeyeon's movements and quickly took the phone back after explaining it. He was afraid that she might accidentally slip too much and dig out some of the more private photos.
Next time I’ll use my work phone to store these things.
"I also checked it on the Internet. It is indeed very beautiful. You can also take a look online when you have time when you go back."
Seeing her like this, Chi Jingyuan also smiled and nodded. Although the filming location had already been decided, she couldn't change anything unless she strongly objected, but it would be more perfect if she was liked and recognized by the protagonist.
He paused and then asked: "Taeyeon Noona, what other thoughts and suggestions do you have for filming the MV?"
"Um……"
Hearing this, Kim Taeyeon hesitated for a second, blinked at him twice, and said tentatively: "This MV is the first MV I shot during my solo debut. It has a really special meaning and is of great commemorative value. I
I was wondering if my family could be included in the filming."
"Family? Who?"
"I'm Oppa, Jin Zhiyong, you met me once last time I came to the company."
"Just showing up?"
"Yes, just show up."
"It's easy if you just show up on camera, no problem."
Chi Jingyuan agreed to the idea put forward by this sister without much thought.
It doesn't matter whether she thinks it's very meaningful and wants her family to participate as a witness, or she wants to take advantage of this opportunity to show her face to the oppa. Anyway, it's just a small thing to make a cameo.
"Hehe." Seeing Chi Jingyuan agreeing so decisively, Kim Taeyeon also patted him and laughed.
"As for the shooting time...Nuna, are you going to participate in DMC Festiva's performance on September 12th?" Chi Jingyuan looked at the memo on his phone and asked after thinking for a while.
DMC Festival, referred to as DMC Super Festival, is a large-scale celebration event that MBC will hold in the Sangam Cultural Plaza area in Seoul. The event will last for 8 days from September 5th to September 13th. In addition to street celebrations and exchange summits every day,
, there will be well-known artists, idol groups, and even new singers to participate and perform on stage, and this year is the first one.
EXO had a stage performance at the opening on the 5th, while Girls' Generation, in addition to the 5th, also had a closing performance on the 12th.
"Well, there is a special stage on the 12th." Kim Taeyeon nodded, then looked at her and added specifically: "I remember there is also Red Velvet."
"The filming team will fly over on the 11th to prepare. We will depart for Auckland on the morning of the 13th. The shooting is expected to take two to three days."
Ignoring the sister's teasing hints, Chi Jingyuan made a decision directly:
"Your solo debut company is currently tentatively scheduled for early October. There is not enough time, so the schedule may be a little rushed by then... By the way, don't forget to tell your Oppa."
