"Wait a minute, when it comes to the scheduled link, Jingyuan, you just go up directly......" It was Kim Taeyeon's agent Kim Cheol, who was in charge of preparing for this preview live broadcast, and not long after Ji Jingyuan arrived, she came over to say hello, and then explained the matters of the live broadcast: "The process is like that, just chat casually, and say some interesting things about the preparation of the album, it depends on the performance of the two of you......"

This time, Kim Taeyeon did not raid the live broadcast on the V APP, but to promote the solo album, and there was already a preview of the live broadcast a few days ago, which is not as casual as the former, and the specific process is set by the company.

"I see, don't worry." Ji Jingyuan made an OK gesture, this kind of live broadcast activity is not difficult for him.

Kim Che was also very relieved, and after saying a few more words casually, he said goodbye and went to communicate with the on-site staff to prepare, this studio has been built into a live broadcast venue, the main stage is a rectangular table, with flowers on it, this album, and some props, and the background behind is the promotional poster of Kim Taeyeon's "I", in order to echo the theme, the specially prepared pale lights will shine on the small live broadcast station The warm dream.

It can be seen that SM is still very Kim Taeyeon's solo, and he didn't let her just find a practice room and squat there to start the live broadcast.

At this time, it was not yet time for the live broadcast to start, and the staff on the scene were still preparing, and after a while, Kim Taeyeon's side was busy, and after seeing Ji Jingyuan, his eyes lit up and he came over.

After the platter concert, the two of them were busy with their own things in the past few days, but they hadn't seen each other much, at this time, this sister had golden-gray hair tied with two braids, and the costume was the one in the MV of "I", which was very New Zealand style, similar to the shepherdess's set, with exquisite makeup, and even the eyelashes were specially retouched.

And Ji Jingyuan is a more casual hooded sweatshirt covered with a denim jacket, the weather has been getting colder and colder recently, and he wears it warmer.

After saying hello, one person moved a stool and began to chat, and Chi Jingyuan asked with concern, "How much is the pre-sale now?" I watched it a few days ago and it was already more than 80,000. ”

He's been busy with EXO and his own affairs lately, and he hasn't been paying attention to Kim Taeyeon's side from time to time.

"Well......" Hearing this question, this sister's expression suddenly became subtle, she pursed her lips reservedly, and replied in a very calm voice: "Not much, it's almost 100,000." ”

"......" Chi Jingyuan saw that this sister was pretending to be B, obviously happy because of this pre-sale data, and still pretending to be there, a pair of smiling eyes drooped down and pretended to be dead fish eyes and looked at her speechlessly.

And after being stared at for two seconds, this sister couldn't help but break the gong, the reserve and modesty just now were immediately thrown out of the clouds, and she laughed loudly, and Chi Jingyuan, who did not shy away from the signature laughter, couldn't help but laugh along.

"So much? The pre-sale alone is almost the highest sales of solo singers this year......" Chi Jingyuan was also a little surprised when he heard this number, not to mention solo singers with sales of 100,000 yuan, it is definitely a first-line achievement in idol groups, and even this is already the top sales in the girl group.

Chi Jingyuan thought for a while, and looked at each other with an inexplicable color: "If you sell a little more in the first week, I feel that it can even surpass the Girls' Generation group." ”

Today, the results of Girls' Generation's summer return can already have an intuitive judgment, although the momentum is not small, and at the same time, it also fought its way out of the encirclement and defense of its own style in the encirclement and suppression of the women's group, and one also took a dozen or so, but in fact, the decline is actually very obvious.

The stamina of the two main songs is very average, and the listening and ranking are falling quickly, and the sales that I am best at when I am young, under the first + double main songs, and the luxury configuration of different covers, the total sales are still only 150,000, and the decline is uncomfortable.

However, the decline is only compared with the previous youth, after all, it has been eight years since its debut, and the cycle of the girl group has come to an end.

At this time, the sales of rookie singer Kim Taeyeon, who is about to make his solo debut, are about to catch up with the Girls' Generation group.

"That's not all...... Actually, thanks to you, I heard from the marketing department that a considerable part of them were bought by XO fans Ellie, and they all bought the album because of it......" She smiled and patted Chi Jingyuan's shoulder with gratitude, looking like she looked like she was silly: "Nuna will remember you!" ”

"That'...... Remember to invite me to dinner. "Ji Kyung-won originally wanted to joke and say, 'Remember to introduce me to a girlfriend,' but then remembered that Kim Taeyeon should have always thought that he and Bae Joo-hyun were a couple, so he paused and changed his tune.

The atmosphere at the scene is very good, no matter what the follow-up development of the album released at 0:00 in the evening, now that the pre-sale has reached 100,000, this solo can already be said to be half of the success.

And including Ji Jingyuan, the whole team is very confident in the quality of this album, especially the title song.

"The release of the album has been delayed for a week, and there are still a lot of people who have released songs in the past few days, and Kyuhyun Oba has also returned, and BTOB, and FX in two days, ah, it's so stressful! ……”

"Nuna, can you not smile when you are worried? It's like a little ...... And you're Kim Taeyeon, or I'm the producer, so they're supposed to be worried anyway, right? ”

"Hmm...... Hahaha, hohoho...... Oh yes, there's a JYP rookie girl group going to debut next week, what's it called, I'll see, Twice, they've had a lot of news these days, and it seems to be quite powerful. ”

"Taeyeon Xi, if you can't beat a rookie girl group, why don't you consider becoming a gagman?"

"Ah, that's what I said last time you mentioned that you knew the members of this girl group...... By the way, Jingyuan, are you sure you don't want to sing with me? You're feat! Surely a lot of fans want to see you. ”

"It's feat, but in fact, it's just those two raps, and I can't sing it for more than ten seconds before I come down, and I have to stay in the TV station for a day......" Chi Jingyuan waved his hand when he heard this, but he didn't say it to death: "It's too busy this week, forget it, there will be a concert to fly to Xia Kingdom in two days...... When I get back, I'll find a day, next week, next week's M! Countdown" Nuna, I'm going to record a stage with you. ”

Although I don't want to go a little, Ji Jingyuan is also feat anyway, and there is no stage that will make fans have regrets, and next week's "M! countdown," he remembers......

"OK, it's no problem to have a stage." Kim Taeyeon also nodded with satisfaction and gestured.

The staff over there was almost ready, and the conversation came to an end after a while, and the time was about to come to an end, Kim Taeyeon walked to the small live broadcast stage and began to prepare, and after a while, at seven o'clock in the evening, the live broadcast officially began, and Ji Kyung-won sat opposite the live broadcast station, watching Kim Taeyeon enter the state and start communicating with the audience, waiting for his appearance.

This kind of live broadcast in front of a group of people actually makes people feel a little embarrassed, but this sister doesn't seem to care at all, and she seems to be very good at live broadcasting.

"Today's preview live broadcast, I also specially invited a guest, guess who it is......" After about half an hour, it was finally Ji Kyungwon's turn to play, and Kim Taeyeon began to sell Guan Zi mysteriously to the camera.

"Wow, a lot of people have guessed right, that's right, today's guest is my very good descendant, the producer of this album, and the creator of the title song "I", XI's Yuan Xi woo woo!!"

At the same time, Ji Jingyuan walked quickly to the live broadcast stage, smiled at the camera and said hello before sitting next to him.

As soon as Ji Kyung-won entered, the messages in the live broadcast room began to surge rapidly, and both passers-by and viewers and Kim Taeyeon's own fans felt a little surprised after seeing him.

Even though there were love rumors before, after clarifying and announcing that Ji Kyung-won was the producer of Kim Taeyeon's solo album, co-wrote the title song and sang feat, he was already one of the favorite male idols among Kim Taeyeon's fans.

The task of this preview live broadcast Ji Jingyuan is to show his face and talk casually about the production of the album, so as to stir up the popularity of "I", which will be released tonight.

After saying hello, Ji Kyung-won chatted with Kim Taeyeon, said a lot of interesting things about the preparation of this album, and he also praised Kim Tae-yeon's level of lyrics.

The two sang and worked well together,

……

At the same time, on the other side, in a mid-to-high-end restaurant in Cheongdam-dong, Park Jin-young, who was sitting in the middle of the table, was eating with nine people from TWICE.

This is a habit of JYP or Park Jin-young, whenever there are artists in the company who are about to debut, he will have a meal with each other in private, understand the mood of these artists before their debut, and then tell their stories and their own experiences, which can be regarded as some guidance and encouragement to them as the president and seniors.

Although as the company's top management and operator, Park Jin-young must be profit-oriented most of the time, but as an older generation of artists and the creators of these groups, he is still somewhat humane to these artists under his umbrella.

At this time, it is the turn of the company's new girl group TWICE, which will debut in a week, and the long table is full of various dishes, and the goblets and delicate knives and forks complement each other perfectly.

Although it is said to be a chat, in fact, Park Jin-young himself has been telling that the other nine girls are obviously a little cramped at the same table with him, and they all eat a little unfavorably.

"When you are on a variety show, the most important thing is not to deliberately think about being funny, from the moment you think, 'I'm going to be funny', the audience will feel very tired...... So be natural and be funny from places you didn't realize. Even if no one laughs at that time, or isn't funny at all, that's okay. We are singers, we can't sing, we can't dance is the problem, it's not a problem at all if the variety show is not brilliant, we must figure out our own positioning......"

"After debuting, whether it is very successful or a little lacking, whether you have not been able to get one, you must maintain your original mentality, that is, your original intention."

"Of course, it is fun to succeed in gaining popularity, but this is the time to be humble and calm in your mind."

Needless to say, JYP's emphasis on twice is still more concerned about the mentality of these girls, because many times artists are extremely excited and excited before their debut, but after their debut, they will find that the reality is different from their dreams.

Before the debut, I fantasized that my debut would be a big hit, fans were everywhere, shining on the stage, and one got a soft hand, and was sought after everywhere he went.

But in fact, the reality after the debut of most artists is that there is no splash after the song, and there are few fans at all who work hard, one is far away, and he can't sleep well after running day and night, and he is not qualified to be on the stage of his dreams, so he can only run some small performances such as remote commercial performances and roadshows and campus assaults, and he often encounters people who attack and abuse him on the Internet, and his speech is more difficult than the other.

In fact, many artists have always been under a lot of psychological pressure, and newcomers are prone to problems when they first debut, after the excitement and the difference between reality and dreams.

So Park Jin-young seems to have anticipated something, focusing on things about this:"

"But if your debut doesn't go well, you have to keep a good attitude, you may run a lot of unknown trips for the sake of fans and popularity, and you may not be able to get a ...... for a long time."

"Actually, I think that compared to the popularity of debut, the kind of singers and groups that go up step by step will last longer...... Take one as an example, although one is a proof that a singer is popular and has good results, in fact, some of the more trending groups nowadays have few debuts that have gone very well, and they are all late in getting one......"

Park Jin-young looked around at the nine members of TWCIE, who were listening carefully, and asked with a smile, "Which group do you think is the hottest now?" ”

"GOT7's seniors?"

Lin Nalian blinked and replied very quickly.

"Hahaha, you......"

Park Zhenying was stunned for a moment, and then immediately burst out laughing, and looked at the grinning rabbit tooth sneer, his most optimistic member of the entire group: "Not only the company, but the entire music industry." ”

Lin Nalian's thoughts on the ass are well known, and after the other members next to her also laughed twice, Park Zhixiao asked tentatively: "If you want to be in the boy group, XO?" ”

In fact, the answer to this question is very clear to everyone, but it is not easy to say.

"Yes, it's XO."

Park Zhenying nodded, and did not shy away from talking about the combination of other companies, and said naturally: "You can also see the popularity of XO, this year's data in all aspects of their data in the men's group has obviously been broken, although GOT7 has recently returned to the good results, but in fact, it is not comparable to XO...... It's the first time I've seen this kind of idol group that accounts for nearly half of Kpop's annual physical album sales, and it has indeed made history. ”

This achievement was truly astonishing, and some of the girls who heard it for the first time widened their eyes and were visibly shocked.

"But don't look at them so hot now, you may not have paid much attention to them, do you know what EXO was like when he first debuted?" Park Jin-young took a sip of water, felt the curious eyes around him, and sold it with a smile.

I know.

Zhou Ziyu, who was sitting on the very edge, blinked, silently in his heart.

"Wasn't it going well for your debut?" Park Zhixiao praised it very well.

"Very poor." Park Jin-young nodded: "The evaluation and response of the debut song are very poor, there are a lot of people attacking on the Internet, and they were semi-refrigerated by SM not long after their debut, and it was difficult for them to even receive commercial performances at that time, all relying on Ji Jingyuan to shoot CF, and then happened to shoot "Please Answer" to maintain a certain exposure, and finally released the next album after more than a year, and it was also more than a year after his debut to get the first hit song. ”

Seeing that the TWICE members next to him were either real or cooperative, Park Zhenying nodded with satisfaction, he thought this example was very good: "I'm looking at their current situation...... Therefore, the quality of your debut is not the most important thing, keep your original intention and work hard to improve yourself, so that even if your debut is not very smooth, but with the help of the company, you will definitely succeed. ”

"In my opinion, as long as you keep going with the mood of debut, you will definitely succeed, and if you keep going with your original intention, I have never seen someone who has not succeeded like this, unless the mentality is not good when you debut......"

"Got it?" Park Jin-young had a smile on his face, but his tone was somewhat formal, and he gave the nine girls a vaccination.

In fact, when it comes to his original intention, what impresses him the most is Chi Jingyuan, this rich boy is really because he loves to be an idol for so long, and he has become a top so successfully, no matter how you look at it, he is a good example.

But after thinking about it, he still didn't say too much to these girls.

Even from Park Jin-young's point of view, Ji Jingyuan's charm is really quite big, and it is not good to say too much about the curiosity of these girls who have high hopes for him.

"Got it." The nine people of TWICE responded in unison, although their expressions were serious, and they seemed to have been taught well by Park Jinying, but under careful observation, most of them still had the excitement and anticipation of their upcoming debut, and they didn't know how much they heard just now.

“…… By the way, you don't have to take the controversy about school uniform advertising on the Internet to heart these days, the company will deal with it, and an announcement will be made tomorrow. ”

"Okay, let's eat, I'm about to make my debut, fighting!!"

……

"What is your original intention to be an idol?"

It's about to be zero o'clock, and Ji Kyung-won, who was waiting in front of the computer to see the results of Kim Taeyeon's album, suddenly received a text message from Zhou Ziyu, read it a little strangely, and put his phone aside after replying with a sentence of "make money" and refreshed the page.

The webpage is a bit stuttering, and obviously the traffic is a bit heavy at this time.

Among the artists who have recently returned to the music industry, there is no such thing as EXO and bigbang in the first half of the year, and if there is one that has attracted the most attention, it is Kim Tae-yeon's solo.

"Taeyeon's solo, or the cooperation with Yuan, is too exciting."

Similar messages can be seen everywhere, and they also represent the thoughts of the vast majority of fans and passers-by.

"Really!"

Zhou Ziyu's reply came over, obviously not very convinced.

"Fake."

Chi Jingyuan picked up the phone again, sighed and went back, but then he thought about it and felt a little strange, frowning and adding: "Are you neurotic, what do you say about your original intention so late?" Did you drink too much? And you're about to make your debut, why can you still use your mobile phone? Is the company not managed? ”

red velvet's debut mobile phone was managed.,Usually the mobile phone will be taken away in activities.,It's only been a little looser recently.,But it's only in private that it will be returned to them.,I heard that the rookie girl group Gfriend and even six people share a 2G mobile phone.,You can't do anything but call your relatives.。

"I said it was going to be managed, but I don't know how strict it was, if it was too strict and didn't allow it to be used at all, it was estimated that it would take a long time to send a text message......

I just sent it and received a reply quickly, and seeing these slightly gloomy words, Chi Jingyuan's previous complaints couldn't help but dissipate a lot.

The early days of the debut of the newcomer group were the busiest times, especially for a large company with good resources like JYP, all kinds of trips could not be completed non-stop, and mobile phones were also managed, so it is estimated that in addition to meeting in common activities, it is difficult for him and this girl to contact as casually as before during this time.

Just when he was about to say something, comfort and encourage Zhou Ziyu, who was about to debut, the other party seemed to have come to his senses and was not so decadent, but followed up with another message: "Are you waiting to see Kim Taeyeon's predecessor album released?" ”

Also, compared to not being able to use a mobile phone, the temptation and excitement of debut are a little greater.

Chi Jingyuan paused, glanced at the time below the computer, and clicked on the MV that had been uploaded, while refreshing, he replied, "Yes, how do you know?" ”

"Because we're waiting to see."

In TWICE's dormitory, after returning from dinner and washing, many members gathered to watch the MV for Kim Taeyeon's solo title song "I", which will be released soon.

After all, they are still newcomers, although they don't say it, in fact, many members have been thinking about making their debut, and they can quickly get one and directly become a first-line group.

After knowing that their debut collided with this senior, many members of TWICE already regarded Kim Taeyeon as the biggest obstacle, especially the title song created by Ji Kyung-won and the producer, and hearing these two names made them feel a heavy pressure.

Although reason tells them that it is difficult to play the songs that these two top idols have collaborated on, who hasn't had some childish fantasies.

At that time, EXO was still thinking about becoming a trend with "MAMA".

At this time, if you look at the MV, it can be regarded as reconnaissance of the enemy.

"Here we go!"

"I don't know how the shooting went, but I'm actually looking forward to Taeyeon's senior solo, I like her so much."

"The song written by Chi Jingyuan should be very good, after all, there are so many precedents for popular songs......"

"But I hope I can miss this time."

After sending the text message, Zhou Ziyu held the mobile phone in his hand with a smile, listened to the communication of the sisters next to him, and did not interject, just hugged Xilu, curled up on the sofa, and together with several other members, looked seriously at the TV connected to the Internet in front of him.

As the song title "I" and singer "taeyeon" appear on the screen, the first thing that catches the eye is the longing black beach in the morning light, and the lively little bar in Auckland's Kingsland, where Kim Taeyeon is busy walking around.

After a fascinating prelude, a close-up of Kim Taeyeon in the wilderness emerges, her blonde hair is eye-catching, and along with it, she is accompanied by a stunning ethereal singing:

"Radiant Sky~~~"
