The starless night sky is pitch black, and the moon is not very bright, so there is really nothing to see.

But Chi Jingyuan stood by the window for a long time, and finally was awakened by the footsteps of the waiter serving the food, and finally looked up, sighed, closed the window, rubbed his cheeks, and returned to the box.

This time to participate in the special edition of the Song Festival, his harvest is still quite good, although because his own popularity is already very large, and there is no rapid rise in popularity like or Wu He, but relying on the recent skyrocketing ratings, as well as the continuous heat and attention of the program audience and the Internet for more than a month, his national popularity has also risen significantly, and he has gained a group of variety show fans who originally did not pay attention to the boy group.

And when the last episode is broadcast a week later, and at the same time, the sound source of these songs of "House Tower House" is released, and it is not expected that it will take advantage of the momentum of the show and the quality of the song itself to become popular for a while.

Coupled with the fact that I met Zheng Hyungdun and Lee Ji-eun, two good friends, this time the harvest in the music industry is quite impressive.

The main reason is that Chi Jingyuan feels that the program process of the past two months is quite interesting and fulfilling.

In the evening, I had dinner with the "Infinite Challenge" program team and guests until more than one o'clock in the morning, and after the end, I returned to the Seoul dormitory in a nanny car overnight, because it was dark and slow, and it was almost four o'clock when I returned to the dormitory.

The next morning, when Ji Jingyuan's mind was still a little foggy, he was called up by the agent and followed the gathered XO members into the nanny car, and went to the venue of the event in a groggy state.

Yesterday he rested the latest, the other members were quite energetic, as soon as they got in the car, they chatted nonsense, Chi Jingyuan couldn't listen to a word, sat dizzily for a while and then opened the car window, waiting for the cool breeze in the early morning to blow on his face, so that he felt a little sober.

"Earthquake ......"

After blowing for a while, the wind felt a lot better, and when Chi Jingyuan just breathed a sigh of relief, he suddenly felt the mobile phone in his pocket vibrate.

When I took it out, it was a text message from Zhou Ziyu, and there was a selfie inside after opening it.

In the photo, she is wearing a dark blue school uniform, a 45-degree oblique lens, long brown hair shawl, a short and round face, a pair of eyes are trying to open wide, and her mouth is slightly open, although she is smiling, she always looks stupid.

Chi Jingyuan took a closer look at this photo and found a problem with this girl, that is, she really can't take selfies, although like other girls, she often likes to take a few beautiful selfies, but the photos that are sent to him occasionally feel weird, either there is a problem with the angle, or there is a problem with the expression, no matter how you look at it, it is much worse than the real person.

Next to the photo is the words 'Go to school!' Three words, apparently this girl is now on her way to school, and she took a selfie and sent it to him, apparently wanting to talk.

Looking at this slightly abrupt photo, Ji Jingyuan chuckled out a few seconds later.

He somewhat understood what Zhou Ziyu meant.

The girl seemed to be a little worried that last night's communication might affect the relationship between the two in the future, or she didn't want the two to change their way of getting along, and she was probably afraid that Chi Jingyuan would change his attitude or opinion on her because of last night's phone call.

Anyway, it's all kinds of little girl sentimental worries. 、

But it is not clear.

So early this morning, I pretended that nothing had happened, and I specially picked such an early time and sent a few selfies, probably just to test his tone.

Because although I used to chat a lot, I occasionally sent two selfie photos, but if it wasn't for something special, Zhou Ziyu wouldn't have sent any messages so early.

No matter how you look at it, it feels a bit deliberate.

But......

Ji Jingyuan smiled and shook his head.

It's cute, though.

He looked at Zhou Ziyu's stunned appearance in the photo, he tapped the screen with both hands, and replied unceremoniously:

"It's ugly!"

After replying, he closed his eyes and blew the morning breeze blowing outside the window for a while, and after feeling a lot of cheer up, he joined the back row to laugh and play.

On the other side, Zhou Ziyu, who was sitting in the nanny car and was sent to school by the agent with the other two members, after seeing Chi Jingyuan's reply, the nervous mind just now suddenly settled down, smiling and the corners of his mouth curled slightly, as if his mood suddenly became clear.

It's just that after studying the content of the reply for a while, after the three words 'really ugly', I couldn't help but wrinkle my nose and snort softly.

"You're ugly!"

……

The reason why I got up so early today is because there is a more important platter concert today, sponsored by the government and MBC, the 70th anniversary of the liberation of the DMZ Peace concert, because it is a more important commemorative performance, so the company still attaches more importance to it, and EXO, who has not had a group itinerary for several days, regathered, and came to the venue early in the morning to prepare and rehearse for the World Cup Arena.

And not only today, there is also a "national chorus" performance on the 15th that still needs the participation of EXO, and it is a concert with very strong ZZ significance for two consecutive days, and it can't be pushed off.

In addition to participating in concerts during the day, Ji Kyung-won had to return to the company to work overtime at night, and seize the time to record Kim Taeyeon's solo album.

“Cause you are.”

"Like a light under the rain......"

"Stop!"

At this time, they are recording one of the included songs, "U R", which is Ji Kyung-won's favorite song of all the songs on Kim Tae-yeon's solo album, except for the title song "I".

But again, the difficulty of singing this song is also very high, and even at the level of Kim Taeyeon, the recording is not as smooth as previously thought.

Although Kim Taeyeon sang into the microphone very devotedly in the studio, Ji Kyung-won outside the soundproof room still shouted to stop, and the recording engineer who was operating the software equipment also pressed the pause.

Chi Jingyuan bent down into the microphone and said what the recording was not good just now: "The feelings are a little insufficient, and the appeal is a little lacking, do it again." ”

“……”

Kim Taeyeon, who had been singing vigorously, didn't have any dissatisfaction after being interrupted, and after listening to Ji Kyungwon's suggestion, he nodded, held the headphones and began to sing again.

"Like a light under the rain......"

"Stop, it's the same problem, come again."

"Like a light under the rain......"

"Stop, this time it's not as good as the last time, Taeyeon Nuna, your voice belongs to the gentle and thick type, emotion and appeal are your strengths, we have analyzed the song "U R" before, and the feeling of this paragraph must be grasped well......"

"Come ...... again"

"OK, this time is good, go ahead."

Through this period of cooperation, Kim Taeyeon has seen Ji Kyung-won's work style and serious attitude towards work many times, and the entire album production team has also been running in for a long time.

The relationship is good, but Chi Jingyuan will never relax the scale of work.

And to be honest, Kim Taeyeon thinks it's better to be strict, and she can be said to have spared no effort on this album.

At this moment, the two of them rushed back to the company to record directly after the platter concert, and they hardly rested except for a few sips of water in between.

It's all been so hard to be able to improve the final quality, no matter how strict it is.

"Stop, this section of the soprano Nunaling's breath is a little messed up."

"Stop ......"

After recording for a while, it was another continuous mistake, Ji Kyung-won felt that Kim Taeyeon's state didn't seem to be very good, and asked tentatively: "Do you want to take a break?" ”

"No, no, I'll just wait a minute to find my state." Kim Taeyeon waved her hand to indicate no, took a deep breath and closed her eyes, tapped her head as if adjusting her loadout, and after about a minute or two, she opened her eyes and gestured outside: "Come on." ”

Her slightly curly blond hair was tied up and crooked at the side of her shoulders, but her hair looked a little dull in the studio light, and it didn't have the shine and shine in front of the camera. Wearing a casual outfit that he had just changed into after the performance, he wore big headphones on his head and wanted to cover half of his head.

Looking at the past from Chi Jingyuan's point of view, it may be because she has been very tired recently, or it may be because the time is not early, at this time, this sister looks obviously tired, and she does not have the dazzling brilliance of TOP idol in front of outsiders, and she looks unexpectedly a little ordinary.

But her petite body seems to contain great energy, especially when she closes her eyes slightly, holds the headphones, and sings again into the microphone, a sense of confidence and concentration suddenly collapses out of her body, surrounds her, and makes people unable to take their eyes off.

"Fill the night sky"

“You are my star”

“Yeah U R~”

……

"Okay, almost, let's get here today."

was busy until midnight, and seeing that the progress was almost enough, Chi Jingyuan stopped today's recording and announced that he would get off work.

Obviously, everyone was already a little tired at this time, and when he said this, Kim Taeyeon, who was singing in a loud voice just now, and was full of energy and devotion, wilted like a withered wildflower, patting his chest and breathing a deep sigh of relief.

No matter how much you like singing, no matter how much you make albums, people will be tired.

"Consanmida."

"Good work."

While packing up their things and greeting each other, Ji Kyung-won and Kim Tae-yeon took the drink handed over by their respective assistants, took a few sips after tying it open, and then began to discuss the schedule of the next recording.

"Nuna, you're the 18th, aren't you?" Ji Jingyuan took two sips and put the drink next to him, opened his notepad and looked at the itinerary for the next few days, and looked up and asked.

"On the 18th and 19th, the MV for the title song and the album were released, and the first stage was on the 21st, and you and Irene hosted the "Music Bank", but the promotional activities should start on the 18th."

Kim Taeyeon was biting the straw, reluctant to put down the drink and drink, while blurting out the next arrangement without thinking about it.

"Then from the 18th, let's suspend the recording work here for a week, there are a lot of things to do during the return period, and it will definitely not work if you are too tired, and people can't hold it." Ji Jingyuan nodded and began to arrange the next work: "After the busiest first week over there of Girls' Generation has passed, we will start again." ”

"yes, okay."

Even if it is an iron man, he can't bear to work overtime without sleeping every night in the early stage of his return, Kim Taeyeon nodded and agreed, but she rolled her eyes, raised her hand and made another suggestion: "Then let's record a little more in the past two days, work overtime like today and return on the 18th anyway, I was relatively relaxed in the two days before the return." ”

"But I can't......"

Spreading his hands, Chi Jingyuan looked at her a little speechlessly: "I will fly to Hong Kong Island with the members overnight after the performance tomorrow, and then there will be a two-day concert, and it is estimated that it will be the 18th when I come back." ”

"Oh yes, XO still has a performance, I remember." She blinked, smirking.

"Rest assured, our progress was fast, the progress was completely in time, and there was even a ...... Then it's decided, and I'll let Brother Jae-hyun send it to Director Kim Shu when the specific work schedule is due. ”

Kim Sook is Kim Tae-yeon's personal agent, and she usually follows her when she is alone, and she is now more familiar with Ji Kyung-won.

After deciding on the next recording arrangement and saying goodbye to all the staff, Ji Kyung-won and Kim Tae-yeon each took their agents or assistants to the elevator and walked downstairs in the direction of the parking lot together.

"By the way, Jingyuan, have you seen the trailer of our return?"

The agent followed silently, while Ji Kyung-won and the two were drinking drinks, standing in front and chatting quietly, and Kim Taeyeon mentioned this stubble as he spoke.

Girls' Generation has been silent for more than half a month after the end of the "Party" event, and it is finally time to release this official album for the first time in more than a year, and this regular fifth album with a double title song has released a trailer for one of the title songs "Lion Heart" today, and it has become a topic.

The results of "party" can only be said to be OK, but it is not particularly good, but after all, it is only a precursor album, and it is mainly a warm-up effect. Whether he can defend his position as the number one girl group in the big twists and turns of the 'love era' and the withdrawal of members from the group when he is young still depends on the regular specialization this time.

If it succeeds, it will naturally be 'worthy of girlhood', 'don't fall down when you're young, don't think about usurping the throne'.

If you pounce...... Then you can only go downhill beautifully.

"Of course."

Stepping out of the elevator, Chi Jingyuan replied as a matter of course.

He went to the Internet to read it today.

"What do you think of the trailer, which part of the impression is more impressive?"

"Which song? 《Lion heart》？ ”

"Hmm."

"Uh, what's the most impressive part?" Chi Jingyuan seemed to remember how he felt at the time, and he was a little hesitant and didn't know whether to say it or not.

"yes, say it!" Kim Taeyeon was holding a drink and staring at him curiously.

Although this sister has short legs, her steps are not slow, and she walks side by side without falling behind.

Chi Jingyuan paused, his expression was a little exciting, but he still said: "I have the deepest impression of your trailer...... It's the trailer in which Yuli's predecessor is really black and glowing, her skin tone doesn't look like the same style as others at all, and she's still standing in the C position, I can't see it if I want to, I stared at her the whole time, and I was a little puzzled at the time, grabbing the camera and grabbing such a ......"

"Hahahaha......"

"Grab the camera...... Ahahaha......"

After hearing Ji Kyung-won's nonsensical words, Kim Tae-yeon first paused, and then couldn't help but raise her head and laugh loudly, and Hohoho's signature smile instantly resounded through the empty and silent parking station.

Those who don't know think it's haunted.

"Ah, oh Mo, you're so poisonous...... I'm asking you how the song is, who asked you about this. She was angry for a day, and she still couldn't hold back a smile on her face: "But what you said is right, Yu Li is a little dark this time, and I don't know how she got the sun, so she doesn't really want to steal the camera, right......?" But don't say it to her, ahahaha......"

"As for the song, "Lion heart" is not bad, but I think it's a little too sweet, I heard that "you think" is a more mature style? When will the trailer come out? ”

"Too sweet? That's not good! …… Day after tomorrow. ”

"Then let's see then, Nan Nuna, return to Dafa when you are young?" had already walked to his nanny car to say goodbye, and after Chi Jingyuan stood still, he stretched out his hand to her and waved it.

Kim Taeyeon's face was a little tired, but her expression was very happy, and she slapped her hands hard with a smile:

"Daihatsu!"

……

"By the way, Jingyuan, I don't have time to talk at night."

On the way back to the dormitory, Park Jae-hyun, who was driving, seemed to remember something, and suddenly made a voice, which made Ji Jingyuan, who was a little drowsy in the back row, open his eyes: "What you asked me to do last time, Bae Xiuzhi's role in the TV series "Arbitrary Attachment" has almost come to fruition. ”

Thank you buddies for the big prize, monthly pass, and recommendation, thank you very much.

Eight or nine months should pass relatively quickly, but it won't skip directly in a word, after all, there are some things that still have to be explained
