Chapter 127: Music, Bank

"Bang." After closing the car door and walking out of the restaurant, Chi Jingyuan went to the parking lot and got into the nanny car.

"Where is Jingyuan going, dormitory or?" After a few seconds of silence, Cui Zhichang, the assistant in the driver's seat, turned around and asked.

Cui Zhichang estimated that he went out to smoke a cigarette just now, and there was still a surging smell of smoke on his body at this time.

"Let's go back to the company."

I had already made plans just now, just because of the afternoon recording, and now Chi Jingyuan is just on top of the band song.

After looking at the time, it's not even eleven o'clock, it's really a little too early to go back to the dormitory, and Ji Kyung-won has been really busy lately, in addition to the XO team and his own solo itinerary, he also has the task of songwriting for the song festival, and the work of Kim Tae-yeon's solo album.

Tomorrow morning, I will have a meeting with Lee so-man and other musicians who are working on the album to listen to the song to determine whether the demo that has just been completed can be used as the title song of Kim Taeyeon.

If everything goes well, then he can start arranging the music for musicians, including himself, and the production of the whole album will start to get on track.

So if you can complete one item, hurry up.

"Okay."

After answering, Cui Zhichang started the car, and seemed to smell the smoke on his body, so he casually opened the windows on both sides a little.

He opened it, but Chi Jingyuan didn't bother to open it, eating the evening breeze pouring in from the front seat, snorting, tilting his head against the window and looking at the night scene outside.

Last time, I didn't have time to make an appointment for dinner, but this time I finally met together, and in reality, I had a meal with Chi Jingyuan and communicated, and Zhou's mother should have been a lot more relieved.

This part of the meal can be regarded as a joy for the guests and hosts, Zhou's mother is indeed very enthusiastic, and Chi Jingyuan also feels it personally. However, compared with the naturalness and casualness when getting along with Zhou Ziyu, Zhou's mother obviously has a little utilitarian nature of the relationship, including some words in the middle, various compliments, and finally the special products and words of explanation that were specially given to him, all of which faintly expressed the other party's thoughts and thoughts.

But this is very normal, it is not too warm to let his daughter receive a little more care and care in a foreign country like Seoul, Ji Jingyuan also understands it, but sighs that parents are indeed doing their best for their children.

As for the contract, it is said that it is considered, but Zhou Ziyu and the others will definitely sign it in the end, after all, when the trainees have practiced hard for more than three years, and after 5 months of competition and desperate efforts in "Sixteen", they finally got the debut position, it is impossible not to sign it because the contract is strict, no matter how harsh it is.

The popularity of "Sixteen" has reached its peak now, and it will start to cool down continuously after the end, in order to take advantage of the fact that the shareholder wind has not dissipated, JYP will definitely speed up the debut time of the new girl group, according to Ji Jingyuan's estimate, this TWICE should debut in two or three months.

Next, it is estimated that Zhou Ziyu and the others will be busy, and they will have to take a lot of classes in two or three months, practicing dance, recording, preparing new albums, etc., and the time is still quite tight, much busier than "Sixteen".

But no matter what, I don't feel tired when I have hope, and I'm similar to Bae Joo-hyun before Red Velvet's debut.

Come on.

When she was eating just now, Zhou Ziyu was smiling the whole time, with a short face like winning the lottery, watching the car drive into the familiar SM building, and gave her a sincere blessing in her heart.

Saying goodbye to Cui Zhichang temporarily, Ji Jingyuan went upstairs and returned to his music, first sorted out the messy places of the previous shooting, and then sat down in front of the computer again, opened the demo of the band's songs and listened.

Although the song has not yet been completed, the general style has been determined, because it has been decided to change it to the theme of the band, and the next arrangement, Ji Jingyuan, has already had an accurate direction in mind.

Now, he wanted to try his hand at lyrics.

The style and melody of this song doesn't feel like it's suitable for the kind of words that are intoxicating in the repetition of a certain syllable, and the lyrics with some stories may be more infectious.

However, neither of them is difficult, for Chi Jingyuan, the latter's words are nothing more than some experiences and fragments that are associated with his own life according to inspiration, or have seen, and can be used directly after artistic processing.

"Hmph~~"

He nodded to the rhythm of the music, hummed the song, remembered the inspiration for the song, and quickly typed a few words on the keyboard:

"You said you were going to see the stars, take me with you."

After writing the beginning, he paused, as if remembering something, couldn't help laughing, shook his head and continued to write:

"But not a single star in the sky ......"

…………

The work went quite smoothly in the next two days, because he had communicated with Lee so-man in advance, and then with Kim Tae-yeon's support and Ji Kyung-won's own producer's right to speak, it was very smooth to position this demo that has not yet been clearly positioned as Taeyeon's title song for this solo.

In the next two days, EXO held a series of signing events in several cities on the peninsula, which also made the actual sales figure of the second series closer and closer to the 1 million mark.

It's just that there is also a news that is not very good, with the arrival of summer, the girl groups have returned, and every group seems to have shown real skills, the previous AOA and SISTAR songs are still strong for three weeks, and their performance on the music list is very eye-catching.

Girls' Generation and Girlsday, which returned at the same time on the 7th, are also very strong, so that "Boy with Luv", which has been covering these girl groups and dyeing a layer of discord to the girl group battle in July, has begun to decline significantly, and its ranking on the weekly chart has fallen, and one has been successfully replaced by SISTAR's "Shake It".

Although the stamina of "EXODUS" in the two new songs is somewhat lacking, the performance of "If You" is very eye-catching, and it competes with these girl groups at the top of the music list.

Two days passed in a flash, and it came to July 10th, which was also the day of Girls' Generation, and Girlsday, the two girl groups that returned on the same day, had their first stage in "Music Bank".

"If only the MC of our singing show at that time was like the two of you, then I would definitely find a chance to try it."

Jin Hyoyuan looked at Ji Jingyuan and Bae Joo-hyun who walked into their lounge, and after saying hello and greeting them, he looked at Bae Joo-hyun, who was standing aside and dressed beautifully, couldn't help but speak, his tone was sour, and he seemed to be a little envious.

Today, the company's seniors came to play, and they are also very familiar sisters of Girls' Generation, as MC, Ji Jingyuan and Bae Joo-hyun must have come to say hello in private, after a few people came back to rest after recording the stage in advance, the two who happened to be idle knocked on the door together and walked in.

As soon as Ji Jingyuan came in, he was pulled over by Kim Taeyeon as soon as he finished saying hello, and the other sisters were joking with Irene.

"I heard that because of Jingyuan and Irene, the positions of the MC of several TV stations have become much more sought-after."

"And the ratings of "Music Bank" have become so high now, not only the advertising costs, but also the many more artists who want to come to sing.

"That's for sure, being a singer MC is the same as "We're Married", who wouldn't want to come if it's an idol?"

"Irene, do you want me to replace you in one issue, I also want to try the feeling of hosting with Jingyuan."

"Giggle......

Being surrounded by a few wolf-like seniors and making jokes, Pei Zhuhyun couldn't help but cover her mouth and laughed, she didn't know how to reply in the face of these young seniors who were not very familiar, she just could bend her eyes and laugh non-stop.

If she was a girl, Bae Joo-hyun is now a little closer to a Kim Taeyeon, and she just exchanged contact information a few days ago, and she hasn't been familiar with it for a few days.

Don't look at her being born in 91, she is almost the same generation as when she was young, and she is even older than Xu Xian, but one debuted for eight years and one year after her debut, standing next to these sisters, as a junior, Pei Zhuhyun's aura looks obviously weaker, and she is completely a cute newcomer, very well-behaved for a while, nodding for a while, applauding for a while, and giggling for a while.

When I was really laughed at, I couldn't help it, and I would sneak a glance at Chi Jingyuan, who was pulled to the side to talk about things.

"I've been listening to the demo for two whole days, it's great, it's completely my style, and now I have a strong feeling about what to write, and I'll show it to you when it's written in two days...... Actually, I tried to write a little bit yesterday. ”

In front of the dresser next to the lounge, Kim Taeyeon and Ji Kyung-won are each holding a bottle of drink and whispering to each other.

The young who just finished recording the stage are all wearing delicate full makeup, this sister's style today is a slightly curly long hair with gold powder gradient color, which is very eye-catching, and she also wears this big sequin bow on her head, which is the most eye-catching one among the young sisters next to her, that is, Lin Yun'er, who is sitting on the sofa with a smile not far away, with a blonde hair shawl, and a delicate braid, can be compared.

As soon as you enter the door, you can smell a pungent aroma, and after sitting next to you, it smells a lot.

Ji Jingyuan sipped the straw, took a small sip of the orange juice that his young agent had just handed him, listened to Kim Taeyeon's words, and smacked his lips with interest after listening: "Have you already written a little?" Nuna sings for me to listen? ”

"Hmm......" Kim Taeyeon was a little moved, but after looking at the noisy scene of the twenty or so people in the lounge next to her, she still waved her hand: "Forget it, it's inconvenient here, wait until I write it and give it to you, soon, I have found the feeling, or it will be ...... in two days."

"Ah, Kim Taeyeon, what are you whispering there? Jingyuan was occupied by you as soon as he came, and people came to greet all of us, not to find you alone, so it's great to solo?"

Before Kim Taeyeon finished speaking, she was interrupted by the already unhappy members over there, and as soon as this remark came out, an accomplice immediately followed suit:

"It's like, and I'm not looking for you."

"People and Irene are partners, what are you doing to take them away?"

"Ahh......h

Kim Taeyeon, who was squeezed, scolded secretly, as if she was stunned, shook her head and rolled her eyes, seeing that now was not the time to speak, after making a 'phone chat' gesture with Ji Kyung-won, she walked over aggressively and began to exercise her captain's authority.

Ji Jingyuan also shook his head and followed, and after glancing at Bae Joo-hyun, who was well-behaved and pretty in the crowd, he chatted casually with Sunny next to him.

This sister doesn't know if she offended Cody, today's style is a little speechless, with bright red long hair on the head, it looks like a seaweed dyed by pigment bia on it, and I don't know how this hairstyle came up with it, it can only be described as 'hunting'.

Not to mention that Kim Tae-yeon and Lim Yoona are as good-looking, and they won't have such a side effect hairstyle......

Chi Jingyuan felt that Sunny didn't seem to like this look very much, and he had to pull his hair twice when he said a word, obviously it was the first stage eback, but he didn't look very interested, and he was a little lazy.

After chatting and playing in a lively atmosphere for twenty minutes, Ji Kyung-won and Bae Joo-hyun said goodbye to their young seniors and went back to prepare for the live broadcast that was about to start today.

At five o'clock in the evening, "Music Bank" started broadcasting on time, and after the performance of the not-so-well-known girl group Minx, the camera was given to the two MCs who had been waiting for a long time on the hosting stage.

In order to conform to today's summer cool theme, Ji Jingyuan and Bae Joo-hyun both wore short-sleeved T-shirts with bright patterns, one light and the other dark, completely looking like a summer beach-style couple.

"The center of the hot air flow!"

"The ...... that people all over the world see together"

The camera gave the opening words that Ji Jingyuan and Bae Joo-hyun skillfully said, and when it came to the last sentence, they looked at each other in a classic and tacit understanding, and shouted the slogan in unison: "Raw broadcast, musik!" ”

The two of them have black and fragmented short and medium hair, and a brown soft and long hair, with their respective faces, and their close appearance in front of the camera made many viewers shine, and many people immediately cheered up and stared at the TV, because a considerable part of the audience came specifically for these two people, and they didn't bother to watch the stage that opened before.

This pair of handsome guys and beautiful girls is so eye-catching that people want to knock it, what is the meaning of the stage in comparison?

"Anihassai, one meter."

"Anihassai, Irene a meter."

The voice of the audience was also very loud, and after introducing himself as usual, Ji Jingyuan turned his head directly to look at Pei Zhuhyun: "That's right, Irene Xi~"

"Inside?"

"What's the first word that comes to your mind when you think of July?"

"Hmm...... Parched. Pei Zhuhyun frowned, and used the tablebook as a fan to fan himself and Ji Jingyuan.

"Is it hot? Ani: Oh. Ji Jingyuan held his mouth and shook his head, signaling that she had answered incorrectly.

"That's it...... Summer vacation? Bae Joo-hyun made a thinking appearance, her eyes lit up and she thought of an answer.

"Ani." Making an unfathomable look, Chi Jingyuan shook his finger.

"What's that? You tell me. ”

is still a senior, and a sister, and when she speaks, she naturally brings a layer of coquettishness.

Chi Jingyuan turned his head sideways and talked to her for a day, and according to the setting of the script, he didn't sell it anymore: "Speaking of July, of course it's a return!" ”

"Ah~ I see...... So it seems that in addition to AOA, SISTAR, TEEOP......"

The young lady also presided over according to the script she memorized, but she was stuck again while talking.

Obviously he has been a mc for more than three months, and Bae Joo-hyun is often a little nervous when he is hosting, and he will pause twice from time to time when he speaks.

I'm very proficient in reciting it early in the morning, and I don't know where so much tension comes from.

“…… There are also 9muses and btob that are back! ”

"That's right, after last week, there are also great people coming back today! That's ...... Girls Day, and Girls' Generation! ”

"Oh! With so many girl groups coming back, today's music bank is really exciting! So before we see them appear, let's take a look at today, who are the two alternates in the second week of July! ”

"Let's take a look!"

The two of you and I have created the suspense and gimmicks have been created, and then the camera changed and entered the VCR who announced an alternate today.

"In the second week of July, a ...... on Kchart"

Ji Jingyuan looked at the screen in front of him while introducing one of today's alternates, but he had just finished reading the previous words, and when he saw the name of the alternate, he couldn't help but pause, and in the place where the camera did not shoot, he and Pei Zhuhyun glanced at each other with a smile, and then continued:

"EXO's Boy with Luv"

"And, EXO's "If You"

"Oh~~~" Two different posters of EXO flashed on the screen one after another, and the same artist name directly made the audience at the scene can't help but exclaim.

No, you two mc just introduced the popular artists who returned in half a day, and the general trend girl groups who have talked a few words have been eback one after another, why are the two candidates exo after a long time?

And the two alternates don't have a stage today, isn't this selling dog meat on the head of a sheep?

The exclamations subsided every few minutes when the next performing artist appeared, and then reappeared in the studio a few moments later.

The two MCs then introduced the 20th to 11th place in today's issue, and I couldn't believe it and saw the name of EXO again, XO actually went to work with the songs released a few months ago, "Call Me Baby", "Spring Day", and "LMR" all appeared in the ranks of this term, plus the two alternates, the top 20 positions in "Music Bank" this week XO and a group accounted for a quarter.

Not only the fans and viewers at the scene, but Ji Jingyuan was actually surprised.

Because of the release of the regular second album, all the songs of the single albums released before they fell on the music source list have been re-popularized, and the sales of the trickle of water and long-term sales have made these 'old songs' that have been released for several months reappear in the ranking of hit song programs without publicity and hitting.

In connection with the recent bombardment of the 'Summer Girl Group War' in the music industry, seeing the scene in front of them makes many viewers feel magical and funny.

If you don't leave?

"Special Return Interview!"

After several stages performed one after another, the two MCs reappeared in front of the camera, and the picture had been transferred to the waiting room used by the interview guests, Bae Joo-hyun faced the camera and introduced the two groups of guests behind him with a smile: "Girls Day and Girls' Generation come together, welcome!" ”

After speaking, Ji Jingyuan and Bae Joo-hyun each stepped aside and gave the camera to these two girl groups who returned on the same day and were on stage at the beginning of the same day.

After the two girl groups said hello, they began to introduce the title song of their return in turn, twelve members of the girl group of Yingying Yanyan, plus a pretty female MC, a group of people worked together to brighten up this standby room a lot.

Chi Jingyuan stood next to Lin Yun'er, and from time to time he picked up a presiding sentence, while observing the two girl groups.

Although Girls Day was a big hit at the beginning of last year, and Girls' Generation declined significantly in the last return, but this time it returned at the same time, judging from the momentum of the fans on the scene and the cheers, it still has an overwhelming advantage in the past.

In any case, the loyalty of the people and fans is indeed here, and it is not something that anyone can catch up with with the explosion.

However, Ji Jingyuan, the new song "Ring My Bel" on Girls' Day, listened to it and felt that it was quite OK, and the music source results were also very good, ranking at the top of the weekly list, and competing with the young "party".

What makes him find interesting is that because of the return time, the stage time completely collided, as well as the quarrels and attacks of their respective fans on the Internet, coupled with the gimmick of the 'girl group war' that has been completely hyped up, the two girl groups clearly collided very seriously, and the competition was very fierce.

In the eyes of many fans and even some insiders, the return time chosen by the economic company of Girls Day is for Girls' Generation.

However, at this time, the two groups of people in front of the camera still looked like hello and me, very harmonious, and when the camera arrived, they also enthusiastically gestured and interacted, Huang Meiying and Fang Minya also showed off their smiling eyes together, and they smiled together very brightly and looked very harmonious.

Obviously, Chi Jingyuan remembered that when the people of the two groups were waiting for the scene just now, except for the girl who was the junior who took the initiative to salute and greet each other, they didn't talk to each other much, and the scene was a little stagnant......

Ji Jingyuan, who has already taken a big step on the road of being an actor, is a little ashamed of his natural acting skills, at least when he sang on the same stage with Bigbang before, both sides were actually a little stiff.

Who dares to say that Yuna's predecessors have no acting talent?

The women's group is still exciting, and Chi Jingyuan thinks it's much more interesting than the men's group.
