Chapter 1 Exposure

"The focus of this month is the cooperation with Pei Xiuzhi on JYP's side, the specific matters and process arrangements were arranged yesterday when Jingyuan was in the meeting, you also heard it, the release time of your song is tentatively scheduled for February, and the time is still relatively tight, and the production of the song is best done within half a month."

Today is the afternoon of January 2, 2014, and Ji Kyung-won and Park Jae-hyun are walking in the direction of the JYP building.

They had just finished eating next to them, and they didn't bother to drive because the distance was so close, so they just walked over.

Park Jae-hyun walked while talking to Ji Kyung-won about the main itinerary for the first month of the new year.

"Half a month...... It depends on whether the other party cooperates. Chi Jingyuan silently recited this time and pursed his lips.

Practicing and recording a song and shooting a music video, if you spend all the time every day, it's still a lot of time, but if you have to run a trip in the middle, you can only find time to prepare together, then it's very urgent.

"JYP is still very sincere, they have already vacated Pei Xiuzhi's recent schedule, and I can feel that they still have great expectations for this time." Park Jae-hyun said a word for JYP,

"It's not about the itinerary...... It's about strength, there shouldn't be any problem with MV shooting, and I can't help it if I can't pass the recording all the time. ”

"Idol is mainly popularity, although strength is important, but it is not the key, popularity is hot enough, naturally some people tout your strength, Xiuzhi Xi's popularity has always been very high, and isn't there still Jingyuan you?"

"Yes."

Ji Jingyuan nodded when he heard this, and he agreed with Park Jae-hyun's statement.

Yesterday on the 1st, SM and JYP held a meeting on the cooperation project, and explained the specific matters of the project to them in detail, including the songs, modes, and return time of this collaboration.

When the meeting was held at the beginning of the year, Pei Xiuzhi, who had never shown up, finally appeared yesterday, and she didn't talk much about Ji Jingyuan, she just smiled and said hello, and said some words on the scene and sat there silently to listen, looking very quiet.

After some time ago, the two companies finally made a final decision, Ji Jingyuan and Bae Xiuzhi will not form a temporary group, this time they will collaborate on a song together as individuals, and if the response is good, there may be the next stage of cooperation in the future.

The song has been selected as the song "Some" that Ji Jingyuan handed in at the beginning of the year.

Originally, Park Jin-young attached great importance to cooperation, and thought that he would write the lyrics and compose the music himself to serve as the cooperation song this time, but after trying it a few times, he found that it was much worse than Ji Jingyuan's demo, and he gave up after writing a few songs to no avail.

SM and JYP were very satisfied with the song, and after market analysis, they believed that it had the potential to become a fire, so both sides increased their investment in resources after discussion.

Park Jin-young himself served as the producer of this single, but SM also won a considerable part of the rights to participate in the production of Ji Kyung-won, and the other party had no intention of objecting, so he readily agreed.

Originally, it was planned to release a single album, but after accumulating arguments, it was rejected and it was finally decided to release a digital single instead of an album.

In fact, JYP really wants to release a physical album, after all, although the cost of a single album is not high, but it can raise the price of the album by making the album configuration of signed cards, postcards and pictorials a little better, and make a lot of money.

In particular, EXO's current sales myth has made countless companies in the industry greedy, and Ji Jingyuan, who is EXO's popular TOP album, knows that the form of sales will be very good just by thinking about it, and the huge number of die-hard and terrible Yuan fans make JYP salivate.

And although Pei Xiuzhi's popularity and national popularity are also very good, she is from a girl group after all, and she is at a natural disadvantage in terms of sales.

missa has never been good at sales, and the sales of their group are less than a fraction of EXO's, so in comparison, it seems that SM has suffered a lot, so it must be a little unhappy.

The astonishing gap in sales between the two people made it impossible to reach an agreement on the distribution of interests between the two sides, and after a long time of pulling the skin, it was decided not to release a physical album.

To be honest, SM is not as serious about the cooperation between the two companies as it was at the beginning.

At the beginning of last year, when I was just preparing for the cooperation project, EXO was still a lake group with low popularity, only Chi Jingyuan was a little hot, and at that time they were preparing for the return of the regular series, and the company could not determine the prospect of this return, so it was natural to attach great importance to the cooperation with JYP, after all, the cooperation object was a female artist with a high national degree like Pei Xiuzhi.

But now EXO has become popular all over the peninsula because of "Roaring Filial Piety", and has been directly promoted from a newcomer to a big award winner, preparing for the TOP group, and while Ji Jingyuan's popularity continues to rise, he also serves as the male protagonist of "The Inheritors", which has great influence in Asia.

It can be said that the situation is completely different from the situation at that time, and Chi Jingyuan no longer needs to rely on cooperation to increase his attention, if it is not already discussed, and the participant is a special member of Chi Jingyuan, plus JYP named Chi Jingyuan to participate in these factors, it is estimated that SM wants to change a member to participate in this cooperation.

Of course, even if it is not very necessary, but after all, it is a very good cooperation, and it is also a good exposure opportunity for Chi Jingyuan, and the cooperation song "some" written by him this time is really good, and Chi Jingyuan himself is very optimistic about this song.

JYP, on the other hand, has been doing the opposite, and in order to maintain the company's revenue, they have also sold the profits from the neon tours of several of their groups, including 2PM, to CJ to make the figures look better.

Although they went public in November last year and announced a series of actions, including the launch of new boy groups and new girl groups, the stock price has continued to fall, and a recent financial report shows that the entire JYP has basically no net profit in the year, which makes many investors very bearish.

Of course, the direct deficit is still a little stronger than the previous year's financial report.

At this critical juncture, JYP will of course seize every revenue growth point, and with the bullish market of Chi Jingyuan, it is natural to attach great importance to this cooperation.

Park Jin-young also offered to set the recording location of the song in JYP, so that he could participate at any time and make the single even more refined.

Thanks to Park Jin-young, Ji Kyung-won has to work hard every day to JYP.

"By the way, I just took a look, the entrance of your company is really lively, everyone is almost full, are they all fans of Girls' Generation?"

When he was about to arrive, Park Jae-hyun suddenly remembered the scene he had just seen in front of the SM building, and said something playfully.

"There are also fans of other groups, like our EXO...... But most of them must have been girls' generation, after all, the impact of yesterday's news on SONE was too great. ”

Chi Jingyuan's eyes also appeared in the crowded scene he had seen before, and he sighed a little: "It's really scary, it is worthy of the popularity of the popular TOP of the national girl group that has been exposed to love, this influence and popularity are really convincing." β€œ

Yesterday, January 1, the day of entering 2014, a sensational news broke out in the peninsula entertainment circle, and the celebrity media reporting website Dispatch was the first to break the news that Girls' Generation member Lim Yoona and multi-habitat artist Lee Seung-gi were in a secret relationship.

The picture posted with the news is very clear, so clear that many people believe it directly after reading it, and it doesn't matter whether SM's response and clarification is or not.

In fact, SM does not mean to deny and clarify.

After the news was confirmed, it immediately topped the headlines and hot searches of entertainment news, and various forums were full of people discussing the matter.

And the Girls' Generation fans who had just celebrated the New Year were slapped on the head before they were happy for a long time, and they were instantly stunned by the news.

Since the news was sent out yesterday, there have been a lot of young fans at the door of SM company to question the company, and today there are quite a lot of people, densely packed at the door, many people hold banners to ask the company to give an explanation.

As an insider, and has a good relationship with several members of Girls' Generation, Chi Jingyuan naturally knows that more than half of the members of Girls' Generation are in love, and he saw two of them with his own eyes last time in the club, and the sisters have no intention of avoiding it.

And those who are not in love are just not meeting the right eye now, and they are in the window period.

In fact, Chi Jingyuan knew that several people in it had changed their boyfriends many times.

After all, it has been so many years since she debuted, and the girlhood that debuted in 07 is now in its seventh year, and a girl's age in the flower season, what she looks forward to most about love is just a few years.

And it's too normal for idols to have a relationship, Ji Jingyuan has dated more than once since his debut more than a year ago, and as far as he knows, there are already several members of EXO who have started to fall in love secretly.

He's just a little strange, this kind of news would have been stopped by SM before, but the popularity of Lin Yun'er's combination was actually exposed on the first day of the new year, which was obviously prepared a long time ago, which makes people think about the deep meaning.

Chi Jingyuan saw this scene when he came out of the company in the morning, and a considerable number of them were male fans, and these people who usually don't participate in this kind of activity at all couldn't help but come out at this time.

At first, Chi Jingyuan thought it was quite interesting, but after looking at their expressions and feeling the atmosphere of the scene for a while, he couldn't help but put away his smile, and his emotions became a little complicated.

In fact, the picture on this news can't be clearer anymore, it can be regarded as a hammer, and SM is also out of a default posture, basically the outside world no longer questions the authenticity of the news.

Only these fans are still stupid and want an explanation from the company.

In fact, they also know in their hearts that the news is true, but there are still unrealistic illusions, and they expect SM to deny the news.

How they would like to hear SM's announcement: "The two are just ordinary seniors. ”

Even if it's to lie to them, at least you can feel better and comfort yourself.

It's just a pity that humble aspirations are so insignificant in the face of cruel displays.

Recalling the scene just now, Ji Jingyuan, who was originally a casual bystander, couldn't help but think of himself, if one day his relationship was exposed, how would his huge number of loyal and crazy fans react.

And most of the men's groups are female fans, especially girlfriend fans, which are easier to accept in idol romance than girl groups.

Chi Jingyuan felt a little scary when he thought about it.
