Chapter 6 Hit the Ground

"Taeyeonuna, such a coincidence?" The person who came out of the elevator was none other than Kim Taeyeon, and although she was wearing a down jacket that was obviously one size larger, her makeup was exquisite, and in addition to the heavier all-inclusive eyeliner, there was some black smoke painted around her eye sockets, as if she had just come off the stage.

At this time, she was carrying a bag on her shoulder, holding a large cup of coffee in both hands, and drinking it with a straw in her mouth.

"Jingyuan

Seeing Ji Kyung-won, Kim Taeyeon was obviously quite surprised, looking at her with round eyes, and she couldn't even drink coffee. Surprised, the two immediately laughed together.

"Hey Yigu, I haven't seen you for a few days, what are you busy with?

Kim Tae-yeon walked out of the elevator with a smile and stood on the edge of Ji Kyung-won, looked him up and down, and smacked his lips. Without waiting for Chi Jingyuan to answer, she took the initiative to hold a large cup of coffee in her hand and leaned forward, and said to him with a smile: "Do you want to drink?" Seeing the straw that had been bitten into a deflated straw, and Kim Taeyeon, who was enthusiastic but had a wicked smile, Ji Jingyuan admired it a little: "You still drink iced coffee on such a cold Tiannuna, and you still put such a big ice cube?" ”

"Any questions?" Kim Tae-yeon teased him, then took the coffee back and took a bite, blinking innocently when she heard it.

"Ani, no." Chi Jingyuan retreated in defeat and turned to the topic just now: "I've been busy with the return in the past few days, and there are some combined itineraries...... By the way, why is it just one person, Yun'er's predecessors, and the other seniors when they were young?

"We just came back from filming the mV, and they went up first, and now they must be in the practice room, I just delayed a little bit and was a little late." Kim Taeyeon explained, and then seemed to find the problem from Ji Kyung-won's words just now, and stared at him with a frown: "Ah, you just ask Sunny, why do you ask Yuna?" Why is your junior interested in Yuna's senior? Don't know if someone is dating? Taeyeon looked at him suspiciously, her makeup-on-makeup eyes sparkling and very smart.

"How so? I just want to congratulate Yuna senior's TV series on reaching the highest ratings since its launch yesterday, which is really worth celebrating.

Ji Jingyuan looked a little innocent, squinting his eyes and looking happy for Lin Yun'er. This self-made drama "zongli and me", which is a collaboration between Sm and KbS and cc, has been officially broadcast on December 9 last year, and after nearly a month of broadcasting, it finally reached the highest rating since its inception yesterday, that is, in the ninth episode on January 7. 7.3%。 A few days ago, their captain Jin Junmian went to the crew of "Zongli and Me" and made a cameo role, with a scene or two episodes. So this highest rating also has the contribution of Exo, and Ji Jingyuan can be regarded as honored.

"Yikes. You're a ...... Hahahaha...... "Kim Taeyeon's eyes widened when he saw Ji Jingyuan's appearance and seemed to want to have a seizure, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he immediately broke his skills, and he couldn't help but burst out laughing directly, so frightened that Ji Jingyuan hurriedly dodged, for fear that coffee would spill on him.

Kim Taeyeon was obviously poked at the point of laughter, and she slapped Ji Kyung-won's back hard while laughing, and the hearty laughter that did not match her petite figure immediately echoed in the corridor.

"Ah, no, no......" Kim Taeyeon laughed a little too much, and the whole person almost turned her back, and after finally patting her chest and relieving herself, she immediately glanced at Ji Jingyuan, and said with a complaining and admonishing voice: "You can't say this kind of thing in front of Yun'a, she has been very uncomfortable recently because of the problem of TV series ratings, and the recent exposure of the relationship, she has always been in a bad mood, if I hear you say this, I will definitely be angry with you."

"Ne, I only say it in front of Nuna, because I know that Taeyeon Nuna's tone is the tightest." Chi Jingyuan nodded with a smile.

"Hmm......" Kim Taeyeon was very cool, she nodded comfortably, her eyes rolled, her left hand was barely a little unstable holding the coffee, and her right hand waved arrogantly: "You're right, and I'm you Nuna, even if you say it, it's okay, Nuna will cover you!" ”

"Kangsang Mida ......" Ji Jingyuan made an exaggerated salute, and his flattered look made Kim Taeyeon laugh again, and then he remembered what the other party said just now, and asked curiously: "Nuna, you just went to shoot mV...... Are you coming back? ”

"Ah, although it hasn't been announced, many people in the company know it, don't you pay attention to Girls' Generation as our junior?" Kim Taeyeon stopped smiling and glared at him, then nodded and said, "It's a mini album, it's almost ready, and the time for its return has been determined." On February 24th, the music source was released, the album was released on the 27th, and the first to return to the stage on March 6th. ”

"Remember to come and give us support when the time comes." In the end, she also patted Chi Jingyuan and admonished.

"February 27?" Ji Jingyuan repeated the date, and then his expression suddenly became a little exciting.

"............" Kim Taeyeon is not stupid, she felt a little bad when she saw Ji Kyungwon's reaction: "You Exo won't come back too, right?" No, our agent said that the time for your xo's return should be set for April. "Even if Girls' Generation is still at its peak and there is no obvious decline, Taeyeon is quite confident in their return this time, but any idol on the entire peninsula will definitely not want to meet the Exo who is now in full swing when they return.

After the explosion of last year's regular reissue album, except for the controversial return of the non-full lyric at the end of last year, countless planetary rice are now looking forward to Exo's next return, and they have already saved their wallets and are ready to buy a big deal, and recently Girls' Generation is in a very tense period because of the continuous exposure of love, Taeyeon doesn't want to return at all and bump into Ji Kyung-won.

"The XO group did not return until April, and this time it was a collaboration single between me and Missa Bae Suzy, although the time has not been determined, but it should be in mid-February." Chi Jingyuan smiled bitterly and explained.

"You and Bae so-ji......" Taeyeon was stunned.

"It's the demo that Nuna and I recorded together at the beginning of last year." Chi Jingyuan gave a hint.

"Oh, it's the song "some"!" Kim Taeyeon's eyes lit up and she remembered that she was very impressed by this song, and she liked this melody very much when she recorded the demo at that time, even after so long, she immediately thought of it when she mentioned it.

She thinks the quality of this song is really great, she likes it very much, and this song is a collaboration between Ji Kyung-won, the popular top of Exo, and Bae Su-ji, an artist with a high degree of national popularity and popularity, this combination is really amazing.

"This, it's really unfortunate......" Thinking about it, Kim Taeyeon's mood became a little unbeautiful, this year is the seventh year of her debut, and it is also the contract year, this return is still very critical for Girls' Generation, and meeting a general opponent will definitely have a certain impact on the results.

But fortunately, I didn't meet the Exo group, just a collaborative track by Ji Jingyuan and Bae Xiuzhi.

"Hmph...... If you're alone, don't say that Nuna bullied you when the time comes.

Kim Taeyeon quickly adjusted her mentality, and then looked at Ji Jingyuan viciously, baring her teeth and threatening: "Blame you for your bad luck, you won't be able to get them one by one when the time comes!"

"Although she looks vicious, she looks harmless.

"Then Nuna remembers that he must be merciful, I finally cooperated with the female idol once, the song was still written by me, and it was too embarrassing to not be able to get one by one......" Chi Jingyuan actually has confidence in this cooperation and the song "Some", even if it is a girl's generation, he is not afraid to touch it, but he has a smile on his face and does not show it.

"Don't worry, it's easy to say......" Taeyeon looked like a senior and patted Ji Jingyuan with a self-conscious attitude. The two of them had something to do later, and after chatting casually, they said goodbye, and Kim Taeyeon smiled and sent Ji Kyung-won to the elevator, waving her hand until the door closed, and her smile gradually faded.

Looking at the closed door, she sighed softly, not as bright and happy as she had just been. The current situation of Girlhood, she is not clear enough in her heart, all kinds of things are coming, in addition to her acting career, there are many members in their personal lives, which makes her both helpless and worried.

But there is no way, after all, it has been standing at the peak of Peninsula Idol for a long time, and it has been debuting for so many years, and the children are all older.

I just hope that this return can meet expectations, take a few more places, and stop the gradual decline in the first few days.

Don't look at Kim Taeyeon's unyielding look in front of Ji Kyung-won, in fact, she knows very well in her heart that with Yuan's current popularity, even if it is a dung song, a huge number of fans will buy it.

What's more, this is still a song that she will feel of high quality after listening to it, and the cooperation with Bae Xiuzhi will definitely cause extensive discussion...... I don't know if that song "some" will affect them, and how much of an impact it will have.

………… On January 8th, Litt built a mourning hall for his father, grandfather and grandmother, and all members of SJ attended and were also responsible for carrying the coffin, and many media came to the scene to take a lot of pictures.

Chi Jingyuan sent a condolence text message on the 7th, and it didn't take long to get a thank you reply from the other party.

Although the unfortunate encounter makes many people regret it, there is no way, life still has to go on step by step.

After a few days of sparring, especially after Ji Jingyuan and Pei Xiuzhi put their faces on their faces to find a feeling, the sense of estrangement between the two of them disappeared a lot because they were not very familiar with each other.

Ji Jingyuan's work ability has always been online, but Pei Xiuzhi's expression of the feelings of the song has suddenly become a lot more transparent, and her voice already has the ambiguous and provocative feeling that Ji Jingyuan has always wanted.

Because of Pei Xiuzhi's progress, they went directly into the recording studio to start recording after practicing for two more days, except for the first run-in for a while, the overall progress was not bad.

Park Jin-young came twice in the middle, and he was also a little surprised by Bae Xiuzhi's performance, but he didn't ask anything, and while expressing satisfaction with the progress of the two, he also communicated with Ji Jingyuan about the mV shooting.

Ji Jingyuan didn't have much thought about the mV of this song, because the main charm of "some" lies in the melody, lyrics, and singing of the song itself.

After putting forward some suggestions and ideas of his own, he completely handed over the design of the mV to Park Jin-young, and at the same time modestly said that he was not good at it.

"Jingyuan, you Sm have communicated with us, because of your itinerary, the release time of this song has been postponed by a week, almost around February 20th.

However, the specific time has not yet been decided, and there may be some deviations due to the preparation progress of the song.

Park Jin-young finally talked about the release time of the single, and he didn't complain, it was a normal tone.

"Sorry for the trouble.

Pushing back the time will have a lot of impact on some plans, although it is not mainly because of him but Sm, Ji Jingyuan still apologized softly.

"Little things, don't talk about this...... Jingyuan: When will you go to Xia Kingdom? Park Jin-young waved his hand in a chic manner, with a posture of 'who is with whom'.

"About a week before the Spring Festival, the Seoul Music Awards will pass after the end." Chi Jingyuan replied after thinking about it.

"That's about ten days, with our current progress is still enough, we try to get the recording work and mV done before you leave, and the rest of the details will be talked about when you come back." Park Zhenying touched his chin, said something very experienced, and finally smiled a little embarrassedly: "I've been busy with the debut of the company's new boy group recently, and I haven't come to you much, which is a bit dereliction of duty."

"How could it be, without Brother Zhenying's guidance, how could our progress be so fast, I stole a half-air singing method with you, which really helped me a lot.

"Haha, you......" Ji Jingyuan smiled brightly, looking at Park Zhenying's eyes was very sincere, which made the other party laugh heartily twice, and patted him hard. Brother Zhenying, I'll leave first.

Ji Jingyuan saluted Park Jin-young and walked out of the music room with his bag on his back under the eyes of the other party. Bae Su-ji was picked up by his agent an hour ago because of his trip, and just now the two producers have been discussing and discussing some details about the production of the song "Some". As a trending female idol and actress, Pei Xiuzhi is also very busy, and her own ability to attract money is also very important to JYp, who is now in a dilemma, and it is normal to arrive late and leave early from time to time because of the itinerary. Ji Jingyuan also understands it, because he himself often encounters such situations. A few days ago, I made an appointment to have dinner together next time, but I never had a chance, either he didn't have time or the other party didn't have time. However, when the two get along in private, it is much more natural, it seems that the ambiguity and provocative feeling in the song have been brought to reality, and the two have become a little close in terms of language and behavior, and there is more close physical contact, not only are they not disgusted, but they enjoy it quite a lot. I don't know if it's the reason for the song or the human reason. Walking out of the music room, Chi Jingyuan turned a corner and walked to the direction of the elevator, and he was already very familiar with JYp every day during this time. As soon as I walked around a corner, when I was about to get to the elevator, four girls came in front of me, and Chi Jingyuan's eyes swept away, just what JYp's preparatory debut girl group 6mix was.

"Senior Anihassai Yo......" The four people who were chatting for a while saw Chi Jingyuan again, and immediately quieted down, and began to salute respectfully a few meters away, bowing several times in a row.

No matter which company the artist debuted with, the company would teach them one of the most important things was etiquette, and it could be seen that the girls in front of them had mastered it very well, as well as they were Exo at that time.

“……

Chi Jingyuan didn't say anything, nodded calmly at a few people, and when he staggered and walked halfway, he saw Yu Dingyan standing at the back, who had only met two days ago, she was a little nervous and half-arched, and secretly looked at Chi Jingyuan with her afterglow. Looking at this friend's sister, Chi Jingyuan squeezed out a smile and said hello: "Just finished eating?" ”

"Ah...... Ne, Nei Yuan, we just finished eating. Yu Dingyan didn't realize that Chi Jingyuan was talking to him at first, and after being stunned for a moment, he quickly replied, and at the same time saluted, looking a little flustered.

However, an indescribable sense of joy suddenly welled up in her heart.

"Come on." Ji Jingyuan smiled at her and nodded, didn't say anything, didn't look at the other three people next to him with surprised expressions, tightened the shoulder bag on his shoulders and walked directly to the elevator, opened the door and walked in.

As soon as the ladder door was closed, Chi Jingyuan faintly heard a loud scream outside.

"Ah...... Yu Dingyan! When did you meet Yuan

"That's it, I don't even look at us, I just greet you, obviously have a relationship, say, how did you meet?"

"Ah, you dare to sneak away?"

"No, listen to me...... Don't scratch me......" Listening to the cheerful noise outside, which was not very clear, Ji Jingyuan smiled.

It's good to be ready to make your debut, your hard work has paid off, and you have hope every day. I don't know when Jiang Shiqi and Sun Shengwan will come to this point.

SM has not heard about the new girl group plan recently, according to Chi Jingyuan's judgment of the company, and the current situation of Sm's girl group, if there are no accidents, it is estimated that it will be next year at the earliest.

By the way, if she debuts next year, how old is Bae Joo-hyun..................

“sorrysorrysorrysorry。”

"I, I, I come before you, you, you."

“shatyshawty”

"Mrs. is too dazzling." In the practice room of EXO in the SM company building, Team K is cramming to practice the dance of SJ's famous song "sorrysorry".

Originally, Exo was scheduled to have no special stage at the Golden Disc Awards on the 16th, just to perform his two title songs from last year.

It's just that the organizers have temporarily set up a cover special stage for 'Skewering Past Grand Prize Tracks', and other idols will perform songs that have won big awards in previous years.

Coincidentally, in the past few years, several of the Golden Records' award songs were from Sm company, from TVXQ's "Incantation", to SJ's "sorrysorry", and Girls' Generation's "theboys".

In the final assignment, Fx will cover "theboys", team m will cover "Incantation", and team K will perform "sorrysorry".

Fortunately, they are very familiar with the dances of these songs before, and they have practiced many times, so they can get started with just two dances, mainly by assigning singing sections and rehearsing positions.

Even so, this kind of surprise notice still made Exo work overtime and practice late at the company every night for the past two days.

At this time, as soon as he finished dancing again, Ji Jingyuan was called out by Lee Seung-hwan.

"Jingyuan, President Li Xiuman has already told you, about the two demos you submitted have been decided by the company to be included in your comeback album?" On the side of the corridor, Lee Seung-hwan pulled Ji Jingyuan and chatted.

"Well, brother, Mr. Li Xiuman has already told me that "INEEdU" and "dope" have been confirmed to be included, and "dope" should be used as the precursor song of this album." Ji Jingyuan nodded, indicating that he already knew about it.

Since the last time Park Jae-hyun called him, he took the time to record a demo in the company's sound engineer and then handed it over to Lee so-man.

The songs are the two songs he selected from the inventory in the previous auditory hallucinations that are more suitable for male idol groups, in terms of quality and popularity, Ji Jingyuan thinks it must be inferior to songs like "Roar", but they are also above the level, and he thinks they are not bad songs.

"Roaring" can directly promote Exo from an up-and-coming star to a big award winner, to the point of preparing a top group, and it is a boy group divine comedy that will only be released in the Peninsula song industry for a few years, even Chi Jingyuan does not have so much comparable inventory.

This time, Li Xiuman told him in advance that the title song company had been determined to be "Overdose", and it didn't make much sense for Ji Jingyuan to come up with a better song, at most it was a double title.

And although the song "Overdose" is not yet fully completed, some arrangement work is still underway.

But Ji Jingyuan has listened to the model dome of this song, and he thinks that this song is really good, it is a very qualified title song, and the melody is very toxic and popular.

If it is paired with the right choreography, it will definitely cause a great repercussion, and the results will definitely not disappoint.

To be honest, Ji Jingyuan really likes the melody of the song "Overdose". As for the two songs he came up with, "INEEdU" is a good boy group song.

Another song "dope" Ji Jingyuan likes its style very much, and he already has an overall plan in mind for the choreography and mV shooting.

The style of this song is really special, and he thinks that the mV he has already envisioned in his heart is also very interesting, and Ji Jingyuan doesn't know how popular this very characteristic song is, and whether it can be popular in the peninsula.

However, in terms of Exo's current popularity, it can casually achieve the effect of people bringing songs, so there is no need to worry about this problem.

And Ji Jingyuan also has a feeling that this style of songs and mV should gain some attention overseas, in Asia, and even in Europe and the United States.

However, the specific effect depends on the situation at the time.

"Well, Jingyuan just knows it...... I've listened to both demos, and I don't think it's as good as "Roar". ”

"And the style of this 'dope' sounds strange to me, and I've heard that the people in the record department have been discussing the choice of this song for a while." Lee Seung-hwan nodded and said his opinion with a smile.

"Brother, it's good to encounter a song like "Roar" once, how can there be so many......

Ji Jingyuan glanced at him helplessly, and then added: ""Dope" is indeed a bit different from the mainstream style of Kpop, and it can be regarded as an attempt by me." ”

"Of course I believe in your vision...... By the way, the composer Kenzie said that you should come over tomorrow and participate in the arrangement of "Overdose". Lee Seung-hwan finally advised: "This is also a kind of care for you from the company, and a reflection of believing in your ability." Ji Jingyuan knew what the company meant, and after he participated in the arrangement, Yuan's name would be added to the song in the arranging column.

In this way, he will be recognized by more people in the creative industry, improve his style and fame, and the company can also use this to carry out some publicity, which can be regarded as killing multiple birds with one stone.

However, although it is a kind of care and optimism, Ji Jingyuan will definitely play his corresponding role, and he is still quite confident in his talent in arrangement.

He himself loved the song "Overdose".

"I know, brother, I'll go over tomorrow." Ji Jingyuan pursed his lips and nodded in agreement.
