"Band?"

Hearing Jung Hyung-don's proposal, Ji Jingyuan and IU turned their heads to look at each other and winked at each other, looking quite surprised.

However, after the initial accident, after thinking about it for a while, Chi Jingyuan actually felt that this proposal was quite good.

Because their group is not like the other other groups that are two people, there are three people in their group, and sometimes it seems a little weird for three people to perform on the stage of some songs, and Zheng Hengdun is not a professional singer, whether it is singing skills or stage performance, it is definitely far worse than Ji Jingyuan and IU, pure lyricism or songs with a similar style can easily make him have no sense of existence.

The band's words can go a long way in improving the situation, and the band-style pop tracks are perfect for the atmosphere of the summer festival.

"That's right, if you're in a band, the stage of the three people will be more energetic, and you two must have a lot of instruments, right......"

After seeing the two of them nodding their heads naturally to confirm, Zheng Hengdun showed excitement on his face, and the more he talked, the more he felt that this proposal was very good, and the more he talked about it, the more energetic he became:

"Drums, bass, and guitar are the instruments that are often used by bands, although I am not proficient in them, but at least there is no problem with imitating a stance, and you must have no problem with the other two, Jingyuan and IU have never been bands before, just take advantage of this song festival to try it, think about that scene, you are playing the drum kit on the stage, and the tens of thousands of spectators below are cheering wildly for you......"

"Okok, brother, I understand."

Seeing that Zheng Hengdun was getting more and more excited, he had already got up from the sofa, walked to the side and wanted to pick up a bass and start operating it himself in advance, Ji Jingyuan hurriedly interrupted him and persuaded him with kind words.

However, what he said was really interesting, and at the same time, it obviously aroused the interest of Ji Jingyuan and IU.

After Jung Hyung-don gave a suggestion and repaid the loan to outline a bright future, the music room slowly became quiet, and both Ji Jingyuan and IU began to think about his band proposal.

Chi Jingyuan naturally leaned on the sofa, holding his chest with his hands and tilting his head slightly, while IU was with his legs together, holding the pillow with both hands, hunched over and his head hanging down little by little.

After a while, Chi Jingyuan felt a small movement next to him, and after turning his head, he found that IU had changed his sitting posture and was looking at himself at the same time, the two exchanged glances, and he asked tentatively, "Have fun?" ”

"yes, that's interesting." IU smiled and nodded, looking interested.

"Okay, then the first song of our group will be decided to be a band!" Zheng Hengdun slapped the board directly, and slapped it on the sofa very excitedly, and then looked like he was done, and stretched out his hand to Chi Jingyuan and IU to high-five, and after the two of them each high-fived him, they smiled and slapped each other.

"Speaking of which...... Wait a minute. ”

Speaking of this, Chi Jingyuan suddenly remembered something, walked to the side and operated the computer, while explaining to the two people who were curious:

"Speaking of bands, I have a demo here that I haven't finished before, I think it's pretty good, and the overall style is quite in line with the theme of our band this time, you can listen to it, if you think it's OK, I can modify it directly, and I don't need to write another tune."

"Is there already a finished product? That's great! Zheng Hengdun was a little surprised, and immediately sat up straight,

And the IU next to him also pursed his lips and nodded with a smile, looking very expectant.

"Music ~~~"

Chi Jingyuan gestured to the two, and then directly clicked play.

Although it may not be used sometimes, if he has an inspiration or idea, he usually tries to write some tunes in his free time, which is a very common habit for composers, such as IU sent him three or four demos in a short period of time a few days ago, and at this speed, it is obvious that she has a lot of inventory, and not all of them are written now.

There are a lot of songs made by this kind of inspiration in the library of Chi Jingyuan, if he thinks it is good, he will try to perfect it to make a finished product, if it is general, it will be stored directly in the computer, and it will be turned out and listened to when it is okay.

Zheng Hengdun and IU listened carefully to this paragraph without lyrics and perfect music, and then glanced at each other, and coincidentally found the light and surprise in each other's eyes.

"It feels good, it's the kind I want, but it's a little slow." Zheng Hengdun was the first to speak, his eyes wide and he looked satisfied, but he still raised his own opinion.

"The melody is really good, I think a few bridges sound very comfortable, and a little change feels like the style of the band." IU obviously understood a little more than Zheng Hengdun, and his eyes brightened.

"Well, because the style is relatively close, if I am sure that I can, I am going to add some percussion to interlude to embellish, and then slow down the tempo in the middle a little faster, reduce the EDM content, and increase the use of instruments......"

Seeing the reaction and expression of the two, Chi Jingyuan knew that it was almost the same in his heart, nodded and said it with a smile, and then looked at IU and added:

"There's also a demo for a piano version of this piece, because I actually started thinking about it as a lyric in the first place...... If I think it's OK, I can also make the first main chorus a lyrical version, so that the contrast and excitement will be more obvious to the listener......"

"Okay, okay, that's it, that's it......" Zheng Hengdun saw that he was very serious, and Chi Jingyuan, who began to communicate with IU with interest, finally couldn't help it after listening to it for a while, and found a gap to interrupt him, and with a wave of his hand, he wanted to make a decision on his behalf, and then asked: "Jingyuan, does this song have a name now?" ”

"Not yet, I haven't filled in the words yet, but the inspiration came from looking at the stars, so let's call it "Stars" for the time being." Ji Jingyuan shook his head with a smile, then looked at IU and asked, "Then this?" ”

"This one is really good, I agree!" IU nodded quickly and raised his hand, looking quite happy.

"Okay, then that's it."

Zheng Hengdun was very excited about the speed of progress this time, and after clapping vigorously, he explained to Chi Jingyuan with an expression of expectation and hope: "Jingyuan, then this band song will be handed over to you." ”

"Don't worry, brother."

Ji Jingyuan made an OK gesture and sat back on the sofa from the computer: "Next shooting...... Next time, try to make it sometime. ”

He didn't dare to say too much.

With the deepening of the filming of "Infinite Challenge", Chi Jingyuan has become more and more serious about this ballad festival, since he has chosen to participate, he must be an important thing to devote energy, he doesn't want to do it for a long time and finally make a song that looks like in the previous few ballad festivals, and when he listens to it, he feels shoddy and obviously a little bit of a number.

He can't lower his reputation, and he doesn't want to disappoint the fans and viewers who have great expectations for this song festival after he participates in it.

Then you can only treat it carefully.

The demo that Ji Jingyuan took out made all three of them vote in favor, so one of the two songs was directly determined, and today's progress was halfway completed, and after a short celebration with a toast to each other, the three of them quickly discussed the theme of another song.

Ji Jingyuan is in charge of the band, and the other song is naturally done by IU, which is a tacit thing.

“…… Does Ji-eun still insist that she must use summer lyricism? ”

"Not necessarily, I think what you said before makes a lot of sense, fast songs and dance music are indeed more suitable for that occasion."

"I thought it would be better to try to make a change and make a special stage, I remember you hadn't tried much with short hair before, didn't you? Just simulate Matilda directly this time, the song festival is just to play. ”

"Isn't This Killer Too Cold? I'm Matilda, Jingyuan xi is Laiang? What are you, brother? ”

"The perverted cop?"

"Oh yes, speaking of which, I just have a piece of music here, which I wrote with my friends, so let's listen to it......"

“……”

Today, the communication of the trio was very smooth, and after a few hours of discussion, Chi Jingyuan and the others had already determined the theme styles of the two songs that their group needed to create in this song festival, and they even had demo samples that they had confirmed to use.

After the program team arrived, they communicated with the writer about the content of today's shooting, and directly regarded the topics and dialogues discussed by the three of them just now as the script for today's shooting.

"Goodbye."

"Good work."

"Jingyuan will come out to eat in two days, and so will Ji-eun."

It wasn't until more than nine o'clock in the evening that today's filming ended, and Chi Jingyuan and the program team who were packing up their things and were about to leave, as well as the other two team members said goodbye politely.

Zheng Hengdun also sent out a special invitation before leaving, and Ji Jingyuan and Li Zhien did not refuse, and agreed with a smile.

After everyone else left, Ji Jingyuan sat back down in front of the computer, opened a document and pondered.

Today's discussion was very smooth and tacit, so that he unconsciously ignited a wave of enthusiasm in his heart, just now when he was shooting, he occasionally wandered a little thinking about the unfinished demo, at this time the program team just left, he was a little uncontrollable, and he was ready to try to change the tune in front of the computer.

Or write some lyrics.

For Ji Kyung-won, the Korean version of the lyrics is actually very easy, and the kpop songs themselves don't pay much attention to this, as long as they fit the theme and the pronunciation is in place, there is no problem.

If you want to go a little deeper, you can start with stories or feelings and the like, and the wording is more complex, from simple repetitive lyrics to narrative ones.

But just when Chi Jingyuan was about to try to write a little, he suddenly remembered something.

He seems to have an appointment in the evening, and Zhou Ziyu's mother wants to invite him to dinner......

Thinking of this stubble, he couldn't help but pat his head, he was a little lost in the morning and now he has been shooting all day, so he hurriedly grabbed the mobile phone next to him, and after opening it, he found that Zhou Ziyu had sent a message twenty minutes ago, "Is the shooting finished?" When it's over, remember to tell me the next one. The text message, but it was still recording just now, and I didn't see it.

"Do you still want to eat after you've just finished your work?" After replying, he got up and put on his clothes, locked the door and walked out without packing up his things.

I'll clean it up tomorrow when I come.

"Of course! We've all set our seats, and we've arrived. ”

Zhou Ziyu replied quickly, obviously waiting all the time.

"Well, send me an address, I'll go over now."

"Gangnam-gu Doyama Continental 76-Street ......"

Seeing the address that was quickly received and the name of the store at the back, Chi Jingyuan felt a little familiar, and asked tentatively: "What did you order, which Sichuan cuisine?" ”

This is one of the more famous Chinese restaurants in Cheongdam-dong, and the main dish is slightly modified Sichuan cuisine, which Ji Jingyuan and Kim Junmian have eaten with them once before.

The taste is good, the decoration is also very tasteful, and at the same time, because it is in a prosperous area, the price is naturally quite expensive.

"Yes, my mother asked me what you like to eat, and I said that you like to eat a lot of things, but she prefers a little Sichuan food, so she chose a very famous one nearby."

"Oh, got it."

After Ji Jingyuan walked out of the music room, he called his assistant Cui Zhichang, who had been waiting in the company, and after getting into the nanny car, he signaled him to start the car and go back to the dormitory first, while sending a text message to reply.

Zhou Ziyu's mother is considered an elder, and if she sees her elders, although it is late, it is still necessary to go back and change her clothes, and at the same time remove the slightly heavier makeup from the shooting.

"Tell me when you get there, I'll go out and pick you up."

"Don't, you're not an amateur now, and it's not asking for trouble to be recognized...... Tell me the room number of the box, and I'll go straight in. ”

"Oh good, we're ......"

……

Back in the dormitory, Ji Jingyuan took off his makeup, washed his face, put on a pair of flat glasses, and then changed into a casual white shirt and light-colored trousers, and then took the nanny car again to the place where Zhou Ziyu gave him a meal.

Wearing a hat and a mask and other disguises, I got out of the car and walked into the restaurant, asked the waiter about the location of the private room, walked straight over, stood in front of the closed door of the private room, paused, exhaled softly, and reached out and knocked.

"Winter, winter, winter."

"Here we go!"

The soundproofing of the room didn't seem to be very good, in addition to the crisp answering sound, Chi Jingyuan could clearly hear the continuous muffled sound of shoes stepping on the ground getting closer and closer.

The door was opened with a bang, and the white light in the room was a little dazzling, and what appeared in front of him at the same time was Zhou Ziyu, who was against the light, blinking, and a bright smile embedded in his face and couldn't get rid of it.

"Hey, hey."

After opening the door and seeing Chi Jingyuan, Zhou Ziyu grinned, and then quickly moved out of the way to signal him to come in quickly.

As Ji Jingyuan walked inside, he took off the hat and mask on his head, and at the same time looked at the box naturally.

is different from what he thought before, because during the live broadcast of "Sixteen" yesterday, he saw several of Zhou Ziyu's family members coming, and in addition to his mother, there were also relatives who were suspected of being brothers and sisters, Chi Jingyuan thought that they would all come today, but he didn't expect that Zhou's mother was alone at this time.

Zhou's mother looks about forty years old, although her face looks obvious traces of age and medical beauty because of her age, but she looks a little fashionable with her long brown hair and shiny chain earrings, and the workmanship and brand of the clothes on her body are obviously not cheap.

The noses of the mother and daughter are quite similar, but in general, Zhou Ziyu's facial features are obviously blue and better than blue, and he is very clever and absorbs the advantages of his parents in appearance.

Mother Zhou had already stood up from her seat when Chi Jingyuan walked in, with a bright smile on her face, and at the same time secretly looked at Chi Jingyuan who was approaching with a scrutinizing eye.

And after he took off his mask, Zhou's mother's eyes shrank slightly and then flashed, and she seemed a little surprised to look at it.

At this time, Zhou Ziyu, who closed the door, jumped next to his mother, hugged the arm of Zhou's mother who stood up, blinked twice with big eyes, hesitated for a moment, and didn't know what to say.

Just when she was a little embarrassed, but was still about to stand up and introduce her, Zhou's mother spoke, she didn't have her daughter's shyness and impoliteness at all, and looked at Chi Jingyuan and took the initiative to say hello with a smile: "Yuan is here, sit down quickly, sit down quickly......"

"Auntie just call me Chi Jingyuan, or Jingyuan."

Chi Jingyuan walked to the seat separated from Zhou's mother by two empty seats, and did not take the lead in sitting down, but half-squinted and smiled, seemed to shake his hand a little embarrassed, and glanced at Zhou Ziyu on the side: "I am very familiar with Zhou Ziyu, you are also an elder, don't be so polite." ”

"Ha, then I'll call you Jingyuan, the name is really good, it sounds very meaningful, sit down, you're welcome."

Mother Zhou heard Chi Jingyuan's words, and also felt his attitude from the other party, nodded and responded with a smile, and then stretched out her hand to signal Chi Jingyuan to sit, and smiled a little brighter when the other party still didn't move, so she took the lead and sat down, and after reaching out again, Chi Jingyuan followed and sat down.

Then she showed a surprised gaze, looked at Chi Jingyuan, who had lifted down the frame, and praised:

"But Jingyuan, what your Chinese said is really good, before the baby ...... I didn't believe it when Ziyu told me, but now after listening to it, I realize that your spoken language is really so good, and I can't tell that you are a foreigner at all. ”

Mother Zhou was both surprised and sincerely praised Chi Jingyuan's Chinese level, but when the word 'baby' referred to her daughter, Zhou Ziyu, who was holding her arm next to her, obviously felt a little awkward and embarrassed, and secretly arched her mother, and Mother Zhou also instantly understood and immediately changed her words.

This mother and daughter are really intimate enough.
