Chapter 48 signal

Mingjing Nan was the second wave of people who came to the recording studio, and was also the last recording member of this wave. When she came in, Chi Jingyuan felt that she looked a little nervous, and she didn't speak the whole time while waiting for the two people in front of her to record.

, it was fine when I sat there quietly.

After the other two members finished recording and left, only Chi Jingyuan and the sound engineer were left in the room. When it was Mingnan's turn to walk into the soundproof room, she looked even more uncomfortable.

"Why are you so nervous?"

Chi Jingyuan looked at Ming Jingnan standing in front of the microphone, with his hands in his sleeves, his head lowered and his mouth pursed, looking uneasy. He did not start recording directly, but smiled and said

One sentence.

"Hey……"

She smiled suddenly when she heard the words, lightly raised her upper lip with her little tongue, raised her eyes and glanced at Chi Jingyuan quietly, then lowered her head slightly and looked a little embarrassed: "I'm afraid that I can't sing well.

"

Chi Jingyuan discovered that Mingjing Nan has a lot of little expressions and movements. Although he is relatively quiet in private, he will use some movements to express his psychology. For example, when he is shy and nervous, he will be used to shrinking his hands more.

Inside the sleeves, just a few fingers peek out from the cuffs.

And she would often glance, pouted, lick her lower lip with her tongue and other habitual little movements. At the same time, it was different from Lin Nalian's childish and winking expression like a brat. Her expression was different.

The movements are very natural, but there is an inexplicable charm that is inconsistent with her age.

When you are face to face, sometimes you will feel like she is teasing you.

"..."

Chi Jingyuan took in her demeanor and expression. He didn't ask Mingjing Nan carefully whether he was 'afraid of not singing well' or 'afraid of not singing well in front of him'. He just smiled and said casually.

He said: "Don't worry, no matter how bad it is, it will still be better than normal..."

After the recording just now, some members of Twice left a very deep impression on him, which filled his heart with the desire to complain. But halfway through, he felt a little inappropriate and stopped, so he paused and changed his words: "

Come on, take your time, Mina, you can sing very well."

Mingjing Nan's part is the third most important in "Cheer Up", second only to Lin Nayeon and Park Jihyo, and it also includes the introduction at the beginning and the connecting brige, which are very important passages. If you sing them well,

It can make the whole song more outstanding. In addition, he thinks Mingjing Nan's singing is okay, so Chi Jingyuan's requirements for her are higher than those of Zhou Ziyu and Hirai Momo.

A little bit.

After some contact, Chi Jingyuan has no more requirements for these two people, especially the latter, except that they are seriously out of tune.

If he demands more, he will even feel that he is going too far for some reason, as if he is demanding the other party and deliberately targeting them.

"okay."

Najing Nan responded softly, took a deep breath, seemed to cheer herself up, and started her recording.

"A little louder."

"Inside."

"Well, a little bigger."

"good."

"Well, almost... you need to have some rhythm when pronouncing the phrase 'I can't help but look at the phone.'"

"Um."

"Very good, do it again..."

"..."

Mingjing Nan's recording was not very smooth, and it was not entirely because she sang poorly, but there were always various minor problems. Chi Jingyuan's encouragement and optimism did not seem to have a very positive effect.

, On the contrary, it seems to have brought some extra pressure to Mingjing Nan.

Every time he encouraged her, Mingjing Nan would work harder and more seriously, eager to sing well. But she also felt more pressure than before.

Chi Jingyuan found that this girl seemed to care about him, or the opinions of those close to her, and would carry these people's expectations and hopes on her to spur her own character. In addition, she was actually relatively strong in her heart. In this way, she had

Sometimes it's easy to get into trouble.

Moreover, she seemed to have been affected by Lin Nalian's recording last time. She was worried that she would also be criticized rudely by Chi Jingyuan. Every time she didn't sing well and was stopped, although she habitually lowered her head,

But at the same time, he would nervously look up at Chi Jingyuan outside, for fear of hearing something uncomfortable from his mouth.

"The last note is a bit off, but the first one is good. Let's try it again."

"Very good, do it again."

"..."

"It's pretty good. There's a little more air, but Brige really sings with great feeling."

After recording for a while, Mingjing Nan was out of breath while singing. Then Chi Jingyuan looked at the time and stopped today's recording: "Let's stop here today and continue tomorrow."

The recording work was not completed in one day. It was planned to take two to three days, but less than half was completed today.

According to previous thoughts, Mingjing Nan's recording should be completed today. Unfortunately, due to various problems, the progress was a little slow, so we can only wait until next time.

"Um……"

In the soundproof room, Mingnan stood in front of the microphone and responded softly. He lowered his head and bit his lip hard, looking a little unwilling, but more disappointed.

Her long red hair covered her head, looking like a depressed flower bud that had closed due to the backlight.

Chi Jingyuan looked at her like this and didn't know what to say. She didn't say a harsh word, but the girl seemed to have been hit hard.

Obviously when we played games together before, every time Mingjing Nan praised her for playing well, she would laugh twice in a reserved and proud manner, and her voice, which was not loud at first, would get slightly louder because of her excitement.

Today it was the other way around...could it be that I had to scold her a few times to make her feel better?

But what if, like some people, you burst into tears after saying a few words...

Without saying anything more, Chi Jingyuan and Twice's manager made a final appointment for tomorrow's recording session and left directly, returning to the crew to continue filming.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Mingjingnan came out of the soundproof room, looked at Chi Jingyuan's leaving back and slightly pursed his lips, helped the sound engineer pack up his things, and then slowly

Leave.



"Is it because of me?"

After filming, I returned to the dormitory at night. Chi Jingyuan was lying on the bed chatting with his two roommates who were still awake when his cell phone suddenly received a text message from Ming Jingnan.

It was a meaningless statement, but Chi Jingyuan understood her meaning at a glance. She was asking, 'Is it because of her that the recording ended today?'

Obviously, the shadow caused by Lin Nalian's incident two days ago still existed, and she didn't seem to let go until early in the morning when she was getting ready to go to bed.

Chi Jingyuan squinted at the phone and was speechless. He leaned on the pillow and bluntly denied her high self-esteem: "The designated recording time is so long. What does it have to do with you? I will be filming later."

, do you think I sold myself to JYP like you?"

On the other side of Twice's dormitory, Nai Minami, who was lying on the bed and huddled under the quilt, was not unhappy when he saw such a rude tone. His face, illuminated by the concern on the screen, actually looked better, and he showed a little smile, green and green.

His fingers typed quickly: "...I didn't sell myself to the company (disdain)."

Chi Jingyuan glanced at Oh Se-hun and Do Kyung-soo who were arguing about acting skills next to him, curled his lips, looked at his phone and replied: "Mina Xi, you haven't been struggling with this matter since this afternoon, right?

"

"...it's a little bit."

"As for that, it's just a recording. Why are you so nervous? I feel like you feel uncomfortable standing in the soundproof room. Do you have any objections to me?"

"No, because... I have the character of 'if I have to do it, I want to do it well', and you have been encouraging me... If I don't sing well and don't meet the requirements, I will feel a little uncomfortable."

In fact, it's more than that. Chi Jingyuan has some feelings. He probably also has some reasons why Mingjing Nan hopes to be more perfect in front of him.

But there was no need to say this kind of thing. He thought about it and comforted her somewhat against his will: "Actually, she sings quite well."

"(pout)"

"...Okay, there is a little problem...but can you blame me for encouraging you?"

"No, actually I'm very grateful to Producer Chi."

"Then I'll accept it...but I think you were a little afraid of me during the recording?"

"Because... when Nayeon was recording the day before yesterday, some of the words you said later... well, it was a bit hurtful. I was worried and heard these words, so I have been a little worried... especially because I felt that I didn't sing.

When it’s good, I feel stuffy and nervous.”

Seeing the large text sent by Mingjing Nan, Chi Jingyuan blinked, and it was indeed what he thought.

It's all Lin Nalian's fault for throwing a shadow over her own members.

"Today's recording actually went much smoother. Mina Xi usually recorded because her mentality was affected. I think you still need to think of ways to adjust."

Chi Jingyuan thought for a while and finally gave his suggestion. He felt that there was something wrong with Mingjing Nan's mentality.

But it may also be because he is the producer.

"Singal!"

"What do you mean?" Chi Jingyuan didn't react when he saw the word Mingjing Nan sent.

"It's the TV series "Signal". Isn't it a setting that spans time and space... I just suddenly thought of a way. If I feel that my performance is very bad and I might be scolded, I can whisper "singal"

', can you just pretend that you didn't hear what you just sang? It's like going back in time in a TV series."

Naijingnan tapped the screen quickly with both hands, his eyes bright, and there was a bright smile in the pupils that reflected the screen of the phone.

She was actually joking. With such a wink, it was obvious that Chi Jingyuan was very serious when working... Just agreeing with the other party on such a small secret code with a specific meaning made her feel a little bit inexplicably.

Little became excited.

"Forehead……"

Chi Jingyuan was a little speechless. He only knew that the drama title "signal" could be used in this way.

He hesitated and asked:

"Have you watched "signal" too?"

"We all watched it"

Although it felt like a bit of a joke, seeing that Mingjing Nan was so interested, he casually agreed: "It's up to you, give it a try."

"Then it's agreed... Well, can I use it when playing games?"

"I don't curse when I play games."

"Let me test it, Singal!"

"...Goodbye, go to sleep."



After filming the next day, Chi Jingyuan continued to go to JYP. Although the recording was still not smooth, he managed to get through it after a while. This so-called little secret code 'signal' was of no use.

No matter how bad Jing Nan's singing was, he never said it at work.

But its existence made Chi Jingyuan and Najing Nan, who met today, smile knowingly when they saw each other. They always felt that there was something more comfortable.

It took nearly three days to finally finish the recording work of "cheer up". With a sense of relief, Chi Jingyuan also boarded the plane with EXO's group on the 5th and flew to

A series of activities began in the mainland.
