Chapter 234: I'm Going to Play Too!
Taeyeon is not lying, Song Qian and Seo Hyun are not in the company now.
In fact, if you strictly follow the statement of the fan circle, the current Taeyeon is in a state of "picking feet".
At this point in time, there are a total of four brands of cosmetics endorsed by this group when I was young.
Taeyeon is the Asolution series of South Korea's Ayeung Corporation, Yoona has previously endorsed Amorepacific Group's Innisfree and released a commercial "single", and Seo Hyun is widely known for his position as an honor student, and was selected by Johnson & Johnson as the spokesperson for Johnson & Johnson's Clean & Clear (i.e., smart) program along with Krystal.
Then, just a few days ago, the world's top fashion company, France's Christian_Dior (Christian Dior) announced that Girls' Generation Jessica, Sunny, Tiffany, Hyoyeon, Yori, and Xiuying will join forces to endorse Dior - that is, the remaining six members who currently have no cosmetics endorsement contracts will be included in one fell swoop.
Early this morning, the six daughters who endorse Dior and Yuna who endorse Innisfree went to the famous Korean fashion magazine "Ceci" to shoot promotional posters for the two brands.
Since it is the production meeting of "We Are Married", Song Qian, who is a Pooh couple, naturally can't run away.
And the Chinese translator on duty also naturally followed Song Qian.
So at the moment, the only young member who remained in the company was Taeyeon, and there was no one who could help her practice spoken Chinese.
After staring at the wall in the empty practice room for a while, Taeyeon remembered that Naxon's Duan planner seemed to be staying in the company for the past few days, but there weren't many things going on, so why not go to him for a favor?
To tell the truth, she came here yesterday to find Duan Shanshan because Jin Yanping, the head of the agent's office, told her that Duan Planning would complete the composition and arrangement work in our company in the next few days, and suggested that she would personally express her gratitude to Duan Planning for recommending her.
It's not that Kim Yeon-pyeong is lazy or lazy that pushes Taeyeon to come forward. There are a lot of schedules in the short time, and they often do several points at the same time, and Jin Yanping, as the head of the broker's office, is already lacking in skills.
It could even be said that he was busier than any member of the team when he was younger. So there's no way to let Taeyeon run by herself, and it's not too much trouble to be in the company anyway.
Inviting Duan Shanshan to that meal was Taeyeon's own idea. Because she attaches great importance to singing, she is indeed grateful to Duan San-san, who strongly recommended her to cover the song. In addition, yesterday, Duan Shanshan saw that she was wheezing and bought a can of coffee for her, so she asked to invite the other party to a meal on a whim.
In Korea, having a drink is a big deal. Although the threesome group knows this, they have developed the habit of treating each other casually when they get along with each other in China, and they can't change it when they get to South Korea.
But for Taeyeon, both of the love of being recommended by others and the cup of coffee, she feels that she owes a lot to the other party. As a Korean who has always paid great attention to etiquette, it is only natural that I should be invited back.
What I didn't expect was that at that meal later yesterday, the three of them were very happy. After returning to the company, Jin Xiche also privately told her that she felt that Duan Planning's first impression was not bad, and she could consider getting along with her relatives as relatives, rather than just cooperating in official affairs.
So today, when I was bored in the practice room alone and couldn't find anyone to tutor in spoken Chinese, Taeyeon thought of Duan Shanshan.
Originally, she wanted to come over first to see what this Duan planner was doing, and if he was busy, forget it...... It turned out that he was actually playing a game with headphones on, so what else is there to be polite!
Taeyeon, who was smiling, took out a piece of paper from his coat pocket and handed it to Duan Shanshan with both hands very carefully, who took it and glanced at it, and stuffed it back into Taeyeon's hand with a smile.
The paper was printed with the lyrics of the song "Burn Yourself with Fire", and the lines were widely spaced. Underneath each line of lyrics is a handwritten Hangul alphabet.
For example, it is like the people of the Celestial Empire who used the phonetic alphabet or the Roman phonetic alphabet to spell the pronunciation of foreign words.
I'm a native of the Celestial Empire, and I need to use the Korean alphabet to annotate a few lines of Chinese characters?
"I don't need this thing, Taeyeon can read it yourself, I'll just listen to it with my ears." ”
So Taeyeon held the piece of paper and sat opposite Duan Shanshan, struggling to spell word by word, and then Duan Shanshan corrected her pronunciation one by one.
Most foreign languages are toneless, and modern Korean is no exception. Therefore, it is particularly difficult to learn the Chinese that is suppressed and frustrated, and a word needs to be corrected for half a day before it can be pronounced accurately, and then after a while, it may not be noticed and wrong.
If you don't believe me, try to pronounce every sentence in one tone, and you will immediately find yourself becoming a "crooked nut" of Chinese colloquial warfare.
Ten minutes later, Duan Shanshan gradually felt impatient, he always felt that something was wrong but couldn't say it, he frowned and thought for a while, and suddenly sang a lyric casually, and then suddenly realized.
"Taeyeon, I found out we took a detour. ”
Taeyeon looked over suspiciously, not understanding the meaning of Duan Shanshan's words.
"Forget the damn four-tone tone! What you need now is to sing Chinese songs, not to talk to people in Chinese, the two are actually different. Duan Shanshan patiently explained, "In most cases, all the words in Chinese songs are pronounced first. Only those words that have a drastic rise and fall in tone will have other tones. ”
From the bewildered expression, it can be seen that Taeyeon is now completely a duck listening to thunder.
Duan Shanshan didn't explain, and sang directly.
"That's the Qinghai-Tibet high Ao jacket concave...... Original. ”
The pitch of this lyric is too high, Duan Shanshan is a little difficult to sing, and when he drags the tone, it is still a little out of tune. However, the meaning is here.
Taeyeon's expression was still the same, apparently not hearing any changes.
Duan Shanshan patiently explained: "Did you hear it? Except for the obvious change in the tone of the word 'high', the others are all the first yinping. Forget it, in fact, you don't need to understand why, as long as you understand that when you sing, you basically pronounce it according to Yinping, so you can pronounce all the lyrics with the first tone now. ”
No wonder I always felt that foreign singers on TV often sang Chinese better than spoken Chinese, it turned out that this is the reason! Duan Shanshan secretly muttered in his heart.
"Will this work?" Taeyeon asked timidly.
"How do you know if you don't try it? I think if you just sing this song, it should be fine. Of course, the words of spoken conversation are another matter. Duan Shanshan said confidently.
After stepping over the four tones, which is the biggest obstacle, the next thing is much simpler. The lyrics of the song are not complicated, and there are many repetitions, and it will soon be able to speak in a similar way - if you don't take into account the tone.
"Okay, Taeyeon at your current level, there shouldn't be much of a problem with the pronunciation of this song, so you can practice it yourself, lest you forget the pronunciation after a long time, it depends on your own efforts." ”
Duan Shanshan snapped his fingers heavily, and although Taeyeon was still a little skeptical, she had no choice but to nod her head.
Taking a paper cup from the water dispenser next to the wall, Duan Shanshan poured a glass of water and placed it in front of Taeyeon.
"You practice, I'm here to listen, and I'll help you correct any problems at any time. ”
He then returned to his seat and played 1866 again, this time without headphones.
Ah, I'm Taeyeon from Girls' Generation! Don't you call yourself my Yinhan? Leave your idol alone and run to play games by yourself?
There is no such thing in the world!
Taeyeon's eyes widened in disbelief, and she opened her mouth and gasped a few times, looking angry and funny.
That game is more attractive to you than me, the idol you eat?
Taeyeon secretly sneered, stood on tiptoe and walked behind Duan Shanshan, looking around with a probe.
On the screen, a guy wearing the uniform of the Northern Army of the American Civil War is galloping on a horse, and only his back can be seen.
He looked like he was going around in a big circle.
From time to time, there are some people with Indian camouflage painted on the upper body of **, wearing feather headdresses, and wearing a pair of grass-green trousers, holding bows and arrows or spears, some also riding horses, and some on foot.
Because the mounts were running at full speed, these men did not stay in view for long, either fleetingly, or rapidly expanding from a small point to being left behind.
The guy in the uniform of the Confederate Army was holding a carbine, moving the muzzle of the gun at the Indians, aiming for a second or two, then firing a shot, then reloading, ready for the next attack, and so on.
The hit rate does not seem to be very high, about three or four out of ten shots hit the target, some of the Indians who were shot fell to the ground and looked like they were dead, while others would burst into a mist of blood and appear to be wounded.
Although she can't ride a horse, Taeyeon's driving skills are the best among all the members of Girls' Generation, and she is also a veteran driver.
She enjoyed the wonderful feeling of chasing the wind and turning on the electricity when she was flying.
If someone else were to watch a 3D action game like Mount & Blade, some people might feel dizzy and vomit, but Taeyeon is clearly not that kind of person.
She watched it with relish.
It's exciting! It's so funny......
Feeling that his shoulder was being tapped again, Duan Shanshan reluctantly paused the game again, turned around and asked, "Is there anything else, Taeyeon?"
"Can you ...... Let me play for a while?"
Taeyeon smiled innocently, and her eager eyes flashed with irrepressible excitement.
