After turning a few pages back, Chi Jingyuan soon saw a familiar word and face. Zhou Ziyu's name and photo appeared clearly in front of him. The iconic smile with tiger teeth at the corner of his mouth made Chi Jingyuan
He couldn't help but pause for a moment. He didn't read the introduction of 'ice members', 'brokerage company jyp' and some information at the back. He looked up at Park Jae-hyun with a strange expression.
Seeing the "I understand you" expression and eyes on this brother's face, and pouting his lips knowingly when he looked at him, Chi Jingyuan suddenly felt his heart stagnant, and he didn't know what to say.
As a personal manager who follows him every day, Park Jae-hyun certainly knows that Chi Jingyuan and Zhou Ziyu know each other and are very familiar with each other. Chi Jingyuan himself also knows... It’s just that your eyes look a bit strange. Are you wrong?
What is it?
But of course Park Jae-hyun didn't think so. He cleared his throat and began to introduce it to Chi Jingyuan in a stern manner: "Although Tzuyu Xi's ice is a new girl group that just debuted, due to its excellent image and public popularity
The good impression makes her very popular among some brands and advertising companies. Although she has not been in the industry for a long time, she has already accepted a lot of CFs. It sounds a bit like Jingyuan when you first debuted... In addition, JYP also noticed this after discovering this.
I started to recommend Tzuyu Xi very much and received a lot of CF for her during this period..."
"Is she the most popular?" Chi Jingyuan heard this and looked at Park Jae-hyun and asked curiously.
Since Ice's debut, relying on the popularity gained from the previous "Sixteen" and JYP's large resource supply, he has appeared in many programs and gained a lot of exposure. However, the specific popularity division within the team is not very clear.
According to Park Jae-hyun, in ice, he is similar to Ji Kyung-won in exo?
"I don't know much about the specific popularity segment. This is the thing that fans pay the most attention to..." Park Jae-hyun shook his head and said that he was not an ice fan, but he smiled and added: "But in terms of advertising, Tzuyu xi is indeed the most popular.
Popular, I heard that many of the CFs that Ice received were because she was spotted by the advertising agency, and then JYP pushed the entire group out. In other words, the other members actually benefited from her a lot..."
"Okay, how long has it been since her debut that she can lead a group?"
Chi Jingyuan looked back at the information in his hand, focusing on Zhou Ziyu's portrait photo of Danzhuang. He looked at the dimples on her face and the little tiger teeth showing out, curled his lips, and then burst into laughter.
"Who was originally selected by the advertising company for this v10 advertisement?" He tilted his head and glanced at Zhou Ziyu's information. Chi Jingyuan flipped through a few more pages, but he didn't see anyone who was familiar with him anymore.
Face.
No need to look, Park Jae-hyun seemed to have known that Chi Kyung-won was going to ask, and answered directly and fluently: "He is a new actor from Arborist who has just debuted. At the same time, he also recommended several new models to participate in the shooting and serve as the faces in the advertisements.
Role."
"Then let her..."
Chi Jingyuan didn't even ask who the new actor was, he closed the information and made a decision casually.
Park Jae-hyun didn’t ask who this ‘she’ was, but just smiled and nodded:
"I see."
…
"Although there have been some problems before, the contract for 'skoolooks' school uniforms has been extended to next year..."
"The CF of the online game "Elsword" has almost been discussed. At present, the most important LG u is still in discussion with us. It is sometimes very ideal, but we are working hard to achieve it..."
Listening to the representatives from the advertising department in front of him regarding ice's recent CF activities, Park Zhenying nodded, expressing satisfaction with their work.
Ice, as a girl group that JYP placed great hopes on for their debut, did not disappoint them with their performance after their debut. Neither the group nor the title song had the big hit they imagined. Although they are not at the top in terms of popularity, they are still in various categories.
The data is already a very good result among newcomers.
In addition to achieving the tone in terms of sales, what is more important is that the entire group, or the image of some of its members, is very favored by brands and advertising companies, and JYP's own resources in the CF area are pretty good. The combination of the two
Xiarangtugas has already received several CFs just after its debut, showing satisfactory market potential.
As the boss, Park Jin Young knows very well that although Ice has only debuted for more than 20 days, it has actually almost recovered the cost that the company spent on their debut.
"How about the LG V10 mobile phone?" After hearing the end, Park Zhenying remembered an endorsement he had tried so hard to win. Although he had received a not so good reply a few days ago, he still had some expectations.
"There is no hope for the advertisement of V10 mobile phone. The advertising company hinted that the person has been selected... After all, it has just debuted. Tzuyu's popularity and popularity are still a little bit behind. Other CF may be OK, but for LG
The competitiveness is not enough..."
The representative shook his head and said that the news was not very good.
"Oh..." Park Zhenying nodded. Although he was a little regretful, he didn't say much. It would be a surprise for Ice to get a top-notch CF like LG, but it's normal not to get it.
"In this way..." Just when he was about to say something, he suddenly heard a vibrating sound. The representative sitting next to him took out his mobile phone from his pocket and looked over at the same time.
Although they are in a meeting to make a report, their line of business needs to keep the phone open at all times, and many times they have to receive calls at any time.
Park Zhenying also nodded, leaned behind the boss's chair, and motioned for him to get through.
"It's okay to be young, well, I am..."
"qgjia? Are you sure? Because it is..."
"Now? Okay I get it."
After hanging up the phone, the representative opened his mouth and seemed a little unresponsive. However, the surprise was clearly shown in his expression and the tone of the call just now. Park Zhenying also straightened up and looked over curiously.
Use your eyes to ask what happened.
"The phone call from the advertising company said that they had changed their mind about the candidate for LG v10. After careful consideration, they felt that Tzuyu Xi was also quite suitable and wanted her to have an audition..."
The representative exhaled and seemed to digest the news he had just received, explaining to Park Jin Young in a still somewhat surprised tone.
"Didn't you say that it was already determined that there was no hope?" Park Zhenying was also a little surprised by this, and his small eyes widened a little.
"I don't know, but the receipt I got last time is indeed like this..." The representative shook his head and felt a little sudden. After thinking about it, he took his mobile phone and asked tentatively: "pd Can I ask someone?"
"..." Park Zhenying waved his hand, telling him to ask quickly.
"Don't stop young...is this me? I know..."
The representative made two or three calls in a row, each one communicated very quickly, and hung up the phone after a while. Facing Park Jinying's questioning look, he said with a strange expression: "I heard from my friend over there that the original advertisement
The company has already decided on the candidate, but it seems that the spokesperson made suggestions. They attach great importance to their opinions, and after thinking about it..."
"The spokesperson of LG v10 is..." This reason and twist made Park Zhenying unable to react for a moment, and he frowned and asked.
"EXO's Ji Kyung-won." The representative obviously knew about it.
"Oh~"
Hearing this name, Park Zhenying paused for a moment, and then exclaimed in sudden enlightenment. His brows relaxed, and a clear smile appeared, but his face looked even stranger.
He has a good personal relationship with Chi Jingyuan, and he is also very aware of the close connection between Chi Jingyuan and JYP Company. He also knows that he and Zhou Ziyu have known each other for a long time and are friends in private.
It's just that although Park Jinying knew that the two people knew each other before, after all, one was a top idol and the other was an ordinary foreign trainee. There was a huge identity gap. He originally thought that the two of them just knew each other. Unexpectedly, this time Chi
Jingyuan can actually take the initiative to support such an important CF. Looking at it this way, the relationship between these two people is not just simple friends...
But from his perspective, a good relationship is better.
"If Chi Jingyuan mentioned it, I know why..."
After thinking for a moment, he smiled and waved, gesturing to his subordinates: "I didn't expect him to help with talking, but I'm really lucky. You don't have to worry about this. I'll give him a call to thank him then... In this case, this
There should be great hope for v10 CF, do you want to audition now?"
"Guess, because LG is very pressed for this advertisement and wants to finalize it as quickly as possible, so they said it's best to go now." After hearing what the president said, the representative didn't ask any more questions and nodded in reply.
One sentence.
"Then you call Jin Shangmin to make arrangements as soon as possible and ask him to bring Zhou Ziyu back. There is no need to go on the rest of the trip."
"OK."
…
At the same time, in Ice's nanny car, they had just finished recording a program, and the nine energetic members were chatting together, and the chatter was quite lively.
"Look at my eyeliner..."
"pretty good."
"Ah, it was so hard to get into the first place as an alternate. It's a pity that I didn't get it. I thought I could get our first one in the singing competition."
"It would be a pity if we were only a little bit behind, but our final score was less than half of others, so what's the pity if we are so far behind..."
"well……"
Two days ago, "m!", ice, which debuted for two weeks, made a historic entry into the candidate list with the title song "like ooh-ahh".
Unfortunately, they were knocked away by Kim Taeyeon and "i" who were also on the waiting list, leaving no room for them to fight back.
They haven't even arrived yet.
This experience still makes many members feel a little regretful, but some people think it is quite normal. At least when the awards were given at the end, they made a breakthrough from the last row to the first row.
While the conversation was going on in the back, the mobile phone of manager Jin Sangmin, who was sitting in the passenger seat, suddenly rang. After he glanced at the caller, he made a 'silence' gesture to the back. The girls looked at each other very much.
After it calmed down, I answered the phone.
"Brother, are we here? We have just finished the recording of "pick talk" and are now heading to the recording site of "ice tv2"..."
"Tzuyu?"
As the ice members watched from behind, Jin Sangmin, who was answering the phone, suddenly mentioned Zhou Ziyu's name as if asking a question, and looked back, which made the people behind him even more curious. Zhou Ziyu, who was called by the wrong name
He opened his eyes wide and looked at the agent hesitantly, not knowing what was going on.
"Now? Okay, I get it."
After hanging up the phone, Jin Shangmin stared at the phone screen for two seconds, as if digesting the news he had just heard. Then he turned around amid the curious eyes of everyone behind him, and quickly locked his eyes on Zhou Ziyu: "I'll see you later.
The filming of "ice tv2" has been postponed. The others will go to the scene to put on makeup first. Tzuyu doesn't want to go and will go to a CF audition with me immediately."
"Oppa, it's...what kind of CF is it?"
Zhou Ziyu felt a little uneasy due to the sudden change and the manager's attitude. She also thought of some bad things. After hesitating for a moment, she shrank her head and asked tentatively.
"It's that LG v10 mobile phone advertisement."
"But haven't there been auditions for this commercial before, and it doesn't mean that there is already a confirmed candidate..." Yu Dingyan interjected a little strangely when he heard this. At that time, it was not just Zhou Ziyu who auditioned, but several of them went.
, it just wasn’t selected.
Moreover, LG mobile phone advertisements are very important to idols and have a high level of CF in the industry. They have discussed this in private several times.
"It was indeed confirmed before, and I thought it was quite sudden. As for the reason for the change... I don't know the specifics, but I just heard the representative casually mention it. It seemed to be a suggestion from the spokesperson... Haicheng should drive a little faster.
"The rush over there is more urgent." Agent Jin Sangmin answered casually while explaining a few words to the driver.
"Who is the spokesperson for LG..." Minatozaki Saka asked reflexively.
"Exo's Yuan." Jin Shanmin knew this very well. While communicating with people about work on his mobile phone, he replied fluently: "He has been the spokesperson for all LG electronic products since 2013. Such a top spokesperson
I have held it steadily for several years, and no one can take it away. I heard that LG chases him to renew the contract every year, which is really enviable... This time the spokesperson of the v10 mobile phone is also him, so it seems that it is his suggestion..."
"..."
Amidst the agent's nagging voice mixed with personal feelings, the back of the nanny car suddenly became quiet.
When the girls heard the news, such as Lin Nalian and Yu Dingyan, they were surrounded by various emotions such as surprise, envy, and surprise.
Is the relationship so good? Such an important CF takes the initiative to help?
He just made a suggestion and the advertising company could directly replace him?
No one said anything, they just pursed their lips, with different attitudes.
Zhou Ziyu, who probably knew the whole story, felt relieved and felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart. He couldn't help but put his hand on the phone in his pocket, and also pursed his lips, seeming to be in a daze.
…………
"Haha, I just mentioned it casually, and I'm not sure yet. It won't be too late to thank me when the time comes..."
Hearing Park Zhenying's warm and sincere thanks on the phone, Chi Jingyuan winked at Park Jaehyun in front of him, then walked to the window with his cell phone and smiled politely.
The suggestions from Park Jae-hyun and the advertising agency seemed to be effective. It was only the next day that JYP clearly received the news, and Park Jin-young also took the initiative to make a thank you call.
This guy didn't specifically mention Zhou Ziyu's name, nor did he mention the relationship between Chi Jingyuan and Zhou Ziyu. Instead, he thanked Chi Jingyuan in a warm and sincere tone for his help and the care of JYP artists, and even the specific details.
Nothing was mentioned.
But this way it won't seem too stiff or too flattering. It will sound like a complete thank you for the contact and help between friends, and the words will make people feel very comfortable.
Hearing Park Zhenying's haha, Chi Jingyuan paused and added with a smile: "And when my second brother called me last time, he specifically asked me to pay attention to JYP. He was very optimistic about JYP's stock price prospects.
…”
During the JYP stock price crisis in January last year, his brother took the initiative to acquire some of JYP's sold shares and helped stabilize the stock price. There were many shares, but not a lot, but based on JYP's market value and stock price in the past two years
Chi Jingxu was also a little disdainful, so he never interfered in the company's management since he acquired it. He only arranged for a representative to work on duty to support Park Jinying.
Chi Jingyuan only found out about it when his second brother mentioned it casually some time after the incident. He said that it was Park Jinying who took the initiative to ask for his help. It is no wonder that when JYP shares were sold off, the stock price stabilized so quickly.
However, Chi Jingxu just casually mentioned that he had never asked Chi Jingyuan to help or was optimistic about JYP's prospects. These were all made up and beautified by Chi Jingyuan on the spot.
The second brother's original words were that he felt a bit cheated. The company's financial report was so ugly that it even had a deficit last year. It has been almost two years and there has been no improvement at all. No matter how you look at it, it looks like it is about to go bankrupt. This is also
What are the 'three major entertainment companies'?
Although the second brother and his family obviously do not pay attention to the share of JYP, which is still competing with Frappuccino, it also gives an additional layer of interest between Chi Jingyuan, JYP and Park Jinyoung in addition to personal contacts.
It's a bit closer.
Park Zhenying also knew this, so he felt that Chi Jingyuan's help was understandable and not abnormal.
But to be honest, Chi Jingyuan doesn't care much about this. In fact, he mainly cares about people...
The two sides laughed and chatted for a while. As they were talking, Park Zhenying suddenly mentioned something that he had discussed with the staff in a meeting last night:
"By the way, Jingyuan, JYP is collecting songs with several familiar musicians recently. If you have time, would you consider writing a song for Ice's next comeback? Or maybe you have a song that has been written before and is ready-made?
deo is also ok.”
"ah?"
Chi Jingyuan was stunned for a moment by this suggestion.
SM company often receives requests for song invitations from him. Although Chi Jingyuan declined all of them, Chi Jingyuan was already familiar with it, but writing songs for Ming Jingnan and Zhou Ziyu still seemed a bit sudden.
He didn't refuse directly, but hesitated: "But I'm not very good at writing girl group songs..."
This is true, he feels that he is not very good at it, and he felt that some of the girl group-style songs he tried to write before were very ordinary.
"Ah, what are you talking about? Do you still need to be modest with me? I listened to Taeyeon's "i". It is considered to be an excellent level among all female solo songs, and the recent results are amazing.
Envy, is this also called not being able to write?" Regarding Chi Jingyuan's modesty, Park Zhenying said somewhat reproachfully, he felt that Chi Jingyuan was perfunctory.
"But the style of "i" is very different from that of girl groups, especially ice..."
It's really hard to imagine the scene of ice singing "i". It's not the same style at all. Chi Jingyuan doesn't believe that this guy can't hear it. It's obvious that this guy is pretending to be stupid and confusing.
He was slightly moved, and after thinking for a while, he asked tentatively: "The song for ice's next comeback? Didn't they just debut? Are they about to prepare for a comeback?"
"Arnie, not yet. I'm just preparing in advance. The plan for the next comeback is being discussed and has not been determined yet."
"What specific style does the song need? Is it the same as the sweet and cool girl style of the debut song "like ooh-ahh"? Or is it more girl crh? Or is it more cute?" Chi Jingyuan then asked.
When an idol group comes back, they usually first determine the style and concept of the album based on the performance of the previous album, as well as member positioning and market analysis, and then select the included songs and title songs based on the style, unless the song is particularly outstanding.
Only when a song has the potential to become a hit will the song be decided first, and then the style of the song will dominate the album.
"Well... it's all fine, as long as it's what you wrote, it doesn't matter, it's just a collection of songs anyway..." Park Jin Young hesitated a bit, and his answer was rather vague. Some parts were covered with laughter.
Chi Jingyuan was speechless after hearing this.
We've been discussing ice's comeback for a long time. We still don't know when it will be planned, and the theme and style haven't been determined yet. But now you come to me to invite me to sing?
Isn't that a bit too hasty?
But soon Chi Kyung-won realized that Park Jin-young’s invitation to sing this time was fake. The real purpose was to strengthen cooperation, whether it was Chi Kyung-won and JYP or him and Ice.
connections on both sides.
And not to mention some of the benefits we just enjoyed, the mere presence of the name Chi Jingyuan among songwriters represents attention and gimmicks.
Of course, for Park Jin Young, the former should be more important.
With this purpose, if Chi Jingyuan agrees, no matter how bad the song he writes then, even if it is a song that chants scriptures throughout, it will probably be included in the list of songs included in ice.
After understanding what this brother meant, Chi Jingyuan did not object much to the comparison, but felt that it was quite normal.
Since we have a good relationship with each other and she is so warm and sincere, it doesn’t matter if it’s just a song. After thinking about it, Chi Jingyuan reconfirmed and asked, “It’s just a song, and any style is fine?”
"Of course, I'm not worried about the song you wrote, Jingyuan... If you are free, I would also like to ask you to be the producer of this song..." Upon hearing this tone, Park Zhenying felt that things should work out
, immediately laughed out loud and started to vote.
"For a included song, the producer can forget about it... In this case, I have a deo I wrote last year..."
Chi Jingyuan pondered for a few seconds and then spoke slowly.
He has accumulated a lot of songs in the music library over the years, but there are really only two girl group-style songs. Last year, he was inspired to create one, but after listening to the deo that he had someone record, he felt
There are no highlights. Later, I listened to the producer of SM Company and Lee Soo Man, and the overall opinion was that it was relatively average, and this was an evaluation made for his sake.
Although the arrangement is not complete yet, this song generally has a cute style. Unfortunately, in the past two years, SM company has not found a group suitable for this song style, and red velvet is not suitable either, and their main producer
People have their own way of doing things and have their own ideas.
SM Company didn't like it, and Chi Jingyuan didn't bother to vote for other economic companies. The final result was that it was simply left in the music library to gather dust, and was treated as a semi-waste song.
It's a pity that Chi Jingyuan was still thinking about whether he could sing for Girls' Generation...
He had almost forgotten it for so long, and now Park Jin Young's invitation suddenly reminded him of it. Although he thought the song was ordinary, there should be no problem with it being a included song.
How can Tuvas, a new girl group, be so picky and picky?
"Okay, of course it's no problem. It's actually better to have the finished product. When the time comes, Jingyuan, just send me the deo." Park Zhenying didn't ask at all, just nodded and said yes.
"Okay, brother, I will send you the deo of "Come on" when the time comes. If you think it works, let me know. If it doesn't, it doesn't matter..." Chi Jingyuan also nodded, but due to politeness and quality control issues, he
I specifically added a sentence, asking Park Jin Young not to force it.
"Haha, then I'll be waiting..."
"Brother, I'll hang up first."
One thing was finalized in a short period of time. Chi Jingyuan hung up the phone and looked out the window. He remembered that Ge'er, who had been sleeping in the music library for more than a year, suddenly had a place to go. He thought to himself that it was interesting, but at the same time he shook his head helplessly.
"Yes, you helped me shoot that commercial?"
As he was in his own position, Chi Jingyuan lowered his head and suddenly saw a text message he had just received during the call on his hot phone. It was sent by Zhou Ziyu, asking about LG advertising, but there was obviously some trepidation in his tone.
.
"It wasn't me, maybe the representative from the advertising agency chose you because he saw how silly you were smiling."
Chi Jingyuan curled his lips, typed a line of words and replied, then exhaled and looked at Park Jae-hyun in front of him. Thinking of what he said on the phone just now, he couldn't help but frown again: "Brother, what did you just say? Get off the car.
