Chapter 169: The Story Begins

"Radiant Sky~~~"

Along with the ethereal introduction, the first close-up close-up also appears, with fair faces, delicate makeup, golden-gray curly hair, standing on the blooming fields, and the smile outlined in the warm sunshine, which only makes people feel that all the splendor and beauty are overflowing in it.

β€œomo!”

"It's beautiful!"

And the emotions that were originally scrutinized, and even 'cursed', became a little restless in the moment when they watched the MV, and several girls were shocked by the beauty on the screen, and they exclaimed directly.

At the same time, many of the countless viewers who clicked on this MV for the first time were also the same, either widening their eyes or sighing

The first appearance at the beginning, the first singing, is full of amazement and intoxication.

And this also sets the style and tone of the whole song that follows.

"It's like I've heard a story several times somewhere."

"The ugly duckling and the white swan, and the butterflies that are about to take off......"

Followed by a clear male rap and a rhythmic drum beat, although it is not as amazing as the opening paragraph, but the crisp singing and evocative lyrics make a good connection to the structure of this song.

And many people heard the rap and immediately heard Chi Jingyuan's voice, and nodded secretly.

This rap feels very good, there is no noise, and the sound is also very nice and just right.

In the MV, Ji Jingyuan did not appear in the rap stage, but followed his rap and began to go deep into the scenery and plot of the entire MV.

Later, under the embellishment of different outfits and backgrounds, Kim Taeyeon in imagination and reality began to show her charm and handsomeness from various angles and clothes in different colors.

She ran through the flowery fields, wandered through the breezy stone paths, sat wearily on the stairs of the bar's attic, and enthusiastically shuttled through the customers with wine glasses in her tray.

Every hairstyle, every set of clothes, every makeup, every landscape, every shot is using the most concise language, feeling the meaning of 'beauty' in the shortest time, and almost any random pause to take a screenshot can get a satisfactory pictorial.

At that time, Ji Kyung-won's most important request for this MV with a simple plot was finally achieved with the beautiful scenery of Auckland, Kim Tae-yeon's excellent hardware, and SM's strong post-production.

"This is Chi Jingyuan?"

Seeing the bar where he works in the MV, Kim Taeyeon, who is busy, and the boy dressed as a waiter next to him smile and lightly clapped their hands, although the camera flashed, but there were still many people who immediately recognized that the guest bar waiter was Ji Jingyuan, and called out his name in surprise.

This kind of little easter egg-like appearance made many viewers and fans feel a sense of surprise.

Soon, in the intoxicating melody and music, Kim Taeyeon, who was busy and tired in order to survive in reality, received another message from her through a butterfly, and at that moment she suddenly understood what she really wanted, she resolutely quit her job, fired the boss, took off the waiter costume, and in the envious eyes of Ji Jingyuan, who was also a waiter, she took away the car keys placed at the bar, and left freely.

She walked on the sidewalk in a long black leather coat, her light steps seemed to shake off the heavy burden, and the ponytail at the back of her head flicked to show her joy.

The camera zoomed in, only to see her tear off the headband, let her hair flutter wantonly in the air, in slow motion, the golden-gray slightly curly long hair danced in the air with the left and right shaking of the head, at that moment she seemed to be truly untied, looking at the free smile looking at the sky, under the accompaniment of dynamic freedom, the chic and handsome that permeated the whole body, whether it was the audience, fans, and even girls, they were heartbroken, and many members of TWICE were also shocked by this scene.

"You're so handsome......"

"It's really beautiful."

Whether it is Yu Dingyan, Lin Nalian, or Park Zhixiao, they are all like this, looking at the seniors who wantonly show their charm on the screen, and their pupils can't help but be dyed with a touch of envy and reverence.

Many of them think that Kim Taeyeon's "I" is very good, whether it is the melody, lyrics, the beauty of the camera, and even the idea is very advanced, it is no longer limited to the category of idol.

At this time, Kim Taeyeon is a real and excellent solo singer.

Although it is a little inappropriate, to be honest at this time, they really feel that their debut song, which they have always thought was very good, has been completely compared, and the idea and touching core alone are a little out of reach.

And as Kim Tae-yeon drives a convertible sports car through Auckland's wide mountain lanes, the crystal clear waters of Black Beach crash against the rocks, and the hair is blown back by the wind, the progressive interludes and sublimated chants only make people want to be in the middle of it and be a part of this beautiful scenery.

And here, it's also the climax of the whole song.

"I used to be in pain, but I followed the faint light."

"The days are faint, gradually gone, and the brilliant flies away~"

"Radiant sky~~"

"Fly into the distance, fly fly high fly high~"

Kim Taeyeon's singing has a unique sense of lightness, which makes people listen as if they are floating in the air, and there is no limit to the wide range of voices, and when you think that her voice has reached a peak, it is like a bird, spreading its wings and rushing to higher and farther space.

The electric guitar and the drum beat are just right, the rhythm is warm and vivid, and the layers are constantly sublimated, as if people can see the sun shining on the green land, and everything is persistently draped with touching anticipation and persistence, and at that moment, I found myself again.

As the two Kim Taeyeon finally meet on the black sand beach at sunset, smiling at each other and looking at each other with their better alter selves, "I" and "TAEYEON" resurface, and the MV ends.

"This ......"

Excellent songs and excellent MVs, it only makes people feel as if they have been baptized after watching a beautiful picture, until the iconic logo of SM appears in the back, Lin Nalian and several people are a little quiet, and no one makes a sound.

Is this the competitor they will face when they just debuted this time?

It's really ......

After being silent for a while, Park Ji-hyo took the initiative to break the silence: "Is this the title song written by Ji Jingyuan?" ”

"Well, that's how SM promoted it, and the lyrics were written by him and Taeyeon's seniors together."

"I really like the lyrics and concept of this song, qingjia, it's really amazing."

"I heard that the pre-sale has exceeded 100,000, tsk......" Yu Dingyan was extremely envious, and then looked at Lin Nalian next to him: "Nalian, what do you think of this song?" ”

"Taeyeon-senpai is really beautiful."

Lin Nalian didn't mention Ji Kyung-won at all, and all her attention was on the protagonist, looking at the blackened screen, her eyes were still shining, and she seemed to be looking forward to Kim Tae-yeon's senior: "I seem to be going to become her fan." ”

"Don't you like IU?"

"Who told you that if you like IU, you can't like Taeyeon? I don't like both......"

Although the pressure brought by the predecessors is very high, the excitement of their upcoming debut will not be hidden, while they watched the MV slapstick comments, this time Kim Taeyeon's solo album "I" has also been on the list of major music source lists, and the title song of the same name "I" has landed on the first list, even in the early hours of the morning, the number of listeners has continued to rise, becoming the focus of discussion among fans.

And as the sun rises, when it comes to daytime, the heat and word of mouth completely spread,

"What a surprise, favorite solo song! I can only say that Yuan is worthy of Yuan, and he has lived up to our expectations, and I am really satisfied as a Taeyeon fan, and I feel grateful for making up two XO albums......"

"Dafa, Dafa, Dafa! Solo singer Taeyeon debuts in a big hair! Yuan really has a hand as a producer, and the quality of the whole album is unexpectedly good, especially the title song "I", the MV is so beautiful to me, and "U R" is also great, it's really amazing. ”

"There is no brainwashing melody, it just makes the listener feel comfortable, and at the same time seems to give some kind of peculiar power."

"I met Taeyeon through this song, this song "I" makes people feel like they are young, enjoying the world, chasing their dreams, I love this song very much, Taeyeon fighting!"

"From today onwards, the golden singer will officially debut, Ernie, sa lang hehe! I also really thank Yuan for his help to wuli Taeyeon Ernie, to be honest, I was quite indifferent to him before, and after listening to this album, I can only sigh that there is really a reason why he is so popular......"

The various comments and comments showed the surprise of the listeners and fans, and the popularity of the previous well-known publicity led to a huge increase, and the satisfaction and even surprise of the expectations at this time was really happy.

Although there are some people who feel that it is not good, and think that it is average, and put forward a lot of comments such as "the rap is too abrupt, it is better to delete it", "the MV ended too quickly in the end, and it came to an abrupt end", but compared to the people who like it, the number of these people is significantly smaller.

In addition to fans and ordinary passers-by, professionals in the circle also have high evaluations of this album, and many people even directly crowned it with the title of "the best solo debut song".

In addition to the praise for Kim Taeyeon, there is actually quite a lot of praise on Ji Kyung-won, and thanks to the previous SM publicity, most people know the importance of Ji Kyung-won to this solo album.

He was the main producer, and the title song was also created by him, and the amazing quality shown after the release of the album really surprised many insiders, the audience watched the singers, and the industry looked behind the scenes, so many companies immediately started the idea of Chi Jingyuan.

In fact, there were a lot of requests from the outside world to SM before, but neither the company nor him had any ideas. Although Ji Jingyuan is very interested in music production, he is not a producer for anyone, and he actually pays more attention to personal communication than those formal invitations.

The love and praise of passers-by and fans reflects the explosion of music sources and sales, and the music source has also achieved one place on the daily list of several major lists after winning the real-time empty one, and the sales volume on the first day reached 14,300 copies, which is extremely powerful data for girl groups and even female solo singers.

In fact, if you don't look at the initial move, just look at the pre-sale, this "I" is already the best-selling solo album from 2015 to the present.

Anyway, even if there is a lack of stamina in the future and the sound source dies violently, but depending on the popularity, sales, and the results of the music source on the first day, this time Ji Kyung-won has been busy for so long, and Kim Taeyeon's sister's solo debut can already be said to be extremely successful and perfect.

Also on the 14th, while the song "I" swept the list, JYP also responded to the recent controversy over twice's school uniform advertisement.

Although twice has not yet debuted, it has been supported by the company some time ago, and Park Jin-young cooperated to receive a school uniform advertisement CF, this kind of school uniform advertisement is also the standard for the debut of newcomer groups in large companies, and there is nothing special about it.

But the problem is that the final commercial that aired caused controversy, in which Park Jin-young wore sunglasses and looked at TWICE's greasy expression as if admiring their figures, while the TWICE members posed in school uniforms emphasized the curves of their hips and chests, and in addition, there were advertising slogans such as "Cut into a short skirt, Shedding Skirt" and "Clamp with a jacket, corset jacket".

After the advertisement was broadcast, many health teachers from the local childcare department expressed their dissatisfaction, saying that children who are growing up should not bear the anxiety of this figure, why should the school uniform skirt be cut into a Shedding Skirt, why should the school uniform inherit the style of tunic and chest corset, and is this style of school uniform worn by students? Only bar waiters wear this kind of clothing.

At the same time, he also said some big hats such as "Because of body anxiety, many students follow the example of the girl group and lose weight excessively, so that the children also have a lot of health problems".

There are a lot of people who agree, which makes TWICE, especially JYP, who has not yet debuted, controversial for a while.

And JYP and twice actually feel quite innocent, because the style of the school uniform and the content of the advertisement are decided by the advertising company, and the advertising company can shoot whatever they say, and the words are all come up with by the other party.

However, after seeing that it caused a lot of turmoil, JYP and the advertiser still decisively admitted it, and directly said that they would recycle the existing advertisements and comprehensively repair them, and also guaranteed that the advertisements of its artists would be more thoroughly confirmed, and such a thing would not happen again.

Obviously he has become the protagonist of the news before his debut, although it is a controversial event, but in any case, it is not a big deal, and twice can be regarded as a big show of face after this matter, at least a considerable number of people went to see this advertisement after seeing the news, and at the same time, many of them specifically searched for twice, which is a warm-up to another extent.

I can only say that the good and the bad are half right.

……

It has been discussed before, Kim Taeyeon solo did not participate in the first week of the song pool Kyungwon, he has also been busy with his own affairs recently, in addition to the preparation of various albums, there are many personal itineraries, and several brands that have been working with also have some new advertisements to shoot.

Two days passed in one fell swoop.

On the 17th, EXO had a two-day concert schedule in Xia Guoguang City, and the group was supposed to fly to the mainland on the afternoon of the 16th to start preparations, but Chi Jingyuan had an MC job that could not be pushed off on the night of the 16th.

"Music Bank" Incheon Hallyu concert special.

This issue of "Sound Silver" is one of the more important issues among all the special episodes, and in order to promote Kpop, the stage was directly moved to Incheon International Airport, and a large venue was temporarily built, and the singing program was broadcast live in the form of a platter concert.

And now Ji Jingyuan and Bae Joo-hyun, the MC CP, have already become the signboard of "Music Bank", and it is also the key to this show surpassing all other singing programs and maintaining about 10% ultra-high ratings for a long time.

Bae Joo-hyun herself is not happy.

However, the impact is not big, after the show is finished, just make a later plane to fly to Xia Guo and join the members, and the location is just at the airport, Chi Jingyuan directly brought all the salutes over, and got on the plane directly after the live broadcast, which is convenient and trouble-free.

"The songs that match the deepening autumn night, and the stage of Yoo Cheng Eunxi, who has returned with a more mature attitude, have already been enjoyed."

On the stage set up at Incheon International Airport, a performance had just ended, and two MCs, Ji Kyung-won and Bae Joo-hyun, walked onto the stage and began to host, in order to echo the atmosphere of the venue, one of them wore a pilot's uniform and the other wore a flight attendant's uniform.

Especially Bae Joo-hyun, although she is not tall enough in uniform, she is also quite pretty.

"Inside, Jing Yuan xi."

Bae Joo-hyun nodded and glanced at the script, and the two turned to look at each other: "Do you know what Incheon Airport and "Music Bank" have in common? ”

"Well, what is this? I don't know very much. ”

"That is, they're all connecting Kpop-loving audiences all over the world." Bae Joo-hyun, who wears a flight attendant hat, smiles very well, and seems to be waiting for praise.

"Ah, that's true."

When Chi Jingyuan heard this, he made a look of sudden realization, and gave her a thumbs up with admiration: "Wow, what Irene xi said is so good, give you a thumbs up!" How did you come up with that? ”

"Of course, this is the most basic quality as a music bank MC."

The young lady pinched her waist, looking like she should be, and she looked a little stinky fart.

"Is that so?" Ji Jingyuan nodded with a smile, then reached out and gently patted the back of Bae Joo-hyun's head: "Sure enough, it's our Irene, Charajia!" ”

"Ahhh......h

"Wow, I was praised by Jing Yuanxi!" Bae Joo-hyun shook his body very happily, then turned around and looked at each other with bright eyes: "It seems that we have gone one step further!" ”

"Really?" Ji Jingyuan blinked, and then immediately said the introduction: "Then these people said that they want to go further with all the audience, oh my girl's stage, hurry up and come and see." ”

β€œγ€Šcloser》”

At this point, the two of them turned around at the same time, looked each other into the eyes, and read out the name of the next stage song together.

Ji Jingyuan also moved forward slightly, pretending to get closer, while Bae Joo-hyun smiled a little shyly, fell back slightly, and scratched all the audience screaming between advancing and retreating.

"Ahh......hh

Many of the men and women present were extremely excited.

That's what "Music Bank" watched, it's not much more exciting than the stage just now, and what "closer"!

Don't go, we're going to see MC......

Ji Jingyuan and Bae Joo-hyun, who had just finished interacting, walked to the audience with a smile, and after finishing the script of the next host, they stood next to them and watched it together.

Today is Kim Tae-yeon's first stage in "Music Bank", SJ Kyuhyun, who returned at the same time, and BTOB are the same, these singers are mainly lyrical, and they are competitors in terms of the corresponding audience type.

Because Taeyeon was in the first week, he didn't make it to a candidate, and today's selection was contested between the senior Im Changding and the rookie boy group ikon, and the two groups of singers were not present, and the last place was awarded to Ren Changding.

"Wait for the plane?"

All the artists appeared together, the two MCs said goodbye, the show was recorded, and everything was over, when Ji Kyung-won said goodbye to Kim Taeyeon and Bae Joo-hyun, this sister asked casually.

"Well, there's less than an hour left." Ji Jingyuan looked at his watch and nodded.

"That's really convenient." This sister pouted and seemed to be a little envious.

Bae Joo-hyun has always stood by with a smile, and usually when other people are present in private, she doesn't communicate much with Ji Jingyuan, only occasionally interjecting.

But every time I smile, it's beautiful.

"Haha, then I'll go first."

After saying a few words casually, Chi Jingyuan waved his hand at the two of them and left with his assistant first.

He rushed to Xia Guoguang City overnight, and after a short rest, he got up the next day with the troupe and went to the performance venue, the International Sports and Art Center, to step on the stage and rehearse.

17,18 The concert for two consecutive days did not make any mistakes, a total of 30,000 spectators arrived to set off the atmosphere very warmly, after the success of the performance, that night, he and Kim Jun-myon, Oh Se-hoon and Kim Jong-in rushed back to Seoul by flight overnight.

As members of the group, who are interested in developing in the fashion circle and the company, the four of them will go to Dongdaemun Design Plaza tomorrow, that is, on the 19th, to watch this year's Seoul Spring and Summer Fashion Week.

…………

"Isn't it boring?"

"No, I think it's interesting, Yilin said it's also very interesting, a lot of clothes are very good-looking."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Seeing this reply, he seemed to feel Bae Joo-hyun's excitement and satisfaction with watching the show today, and Ji Kyung-won didn't know what to do for a while.

Red Velvet was invited by the brand, captain Bae Joo-hyun and Busy Kim Ye-rim also participated in today's Seoul Fashion Week, and it happened that Ji Kyung-won and they also met in the same show, although they did not sit together, but they also made eye contact a few times, and when they returned to the dormitory at night, they talked about today's show when they chatted with their mobile phones.

Bae Joo-hyun and Kim Ye-rin, the two rookies who participated in the fashion week for the first time, are obviously not as lazy as the old fritters like Ji Jingyuan, who is not short of resources, and they are very interested in this kind of fashion event, and they also think that today's show itinerary is very interesting.

"Do you think the clothes you see today don't look good?" Seeing that Ji Jingyuan didn't reply, Bae Joo-hyun took the initiative to send another one.

"No, the one you wore today looks good."

Seeing this person's question, Chi Jingyuan chuckled and pursed his lips and turned back.

Today, Bae Joo-hyun wore a hairball knit sweater with a cartoon pattern, which made the whole person look very lively, anyway, Ji Jingyuan thought it was very good-looking.

"Huh? Really? ”

The young lady seemed a little surprised by Chi Jingyuan's statement, and there was a joy that could not be suppressed.

"yes, I think it's much better than the model."

"Giggles, I don't believe it!"

After chatting for a while, it came to an end after it was Ji Jingyuan's turn to take a bath, he put down his mobile phone to rinse it, and when he changed his clothes and returned to the bedroom, he found that their room had become a lot more lively, Jin Junmian and Bian Boxian both came in and sat on Wu Shixun's bed, and several people played poker there.

He looked at the time and found that it was half past eleven, and he didn't participate in the game, so he sat directly on his bed, picked up his mobile phone, and clicked on the V APP

"Kyungwon, is Seoul Fashion Week much worse than Milan Fashion Week?"

Playing cards over there and chatting, he talked about today's itinerary, Wu Shixun glanced over here and asked casually.

But without waiting for Ji Jingyuan to speak, Jin Junmian threw out a card vigorously, pursed his lips and said as he should: "Aren't you talking nonsense?" It's not a level at all, what brand is everyone, what kind of people are going, what are they here......"

Hearing such arrogant words, Chi Jingyuan raised his head and glanced at the captain in surprise: "Brother, if your words get out, I think you can consider how to write the ins." ”

He thought for a moment and added, "Handwriting, be sincere." ”

"Hahaha......"

A few people next to him couldn't help laughing, and Jin Junmian also cooperated and covered his mouth to seal it, and then laughed helplessly.

Seeing that after Chi Jingyuan finished speaking, he immediately lowered his head, and took out his headphones to put them on, Wu Shixun asked curiously, "What are you looking at so seriously?" ”

"Nothing, play your cards."

waved his hand casually and said perfunctory, Chi Jingyuan put on the headphones and stopped them from communicating, looking at the phone screen intently.

At this time, he was watching Zhou Ziyu's live broadcast twice, they will officially debut tomorrow, that is, on October 20th, and all the music sources and MVs will be released at 0:00 in a while.

At this time, in the last bit of time, the entire TWICE is doing a collective live broadcast before their debut, which is a kind of warm-up and preview, and it can be regarded as spending the last half hour of their trainee status with fans.

The nine members on the screen sit in two rows around the sofa in their dormitory, each holding a pillow or doll, covered with blankets, wearing cartoon hats, and three people wearing Chopper hats alone, anyway, trying to show their lively and cute side to their few fans and viewers.

Chi Jingyuan saw Zhou Ziyu at a glance, this girl was sitting on the far right of the first row, I don't know if it was because she didn't wear makeup and was wearing black-framed glasses to pretend to be mature there, but the dog doll that Chi Jingyuan gave her last time in her arms betrayed her instantly.

The heads of a person and a dog are attached to each other, and they are all wearing black-framed glasses, which looks like a strange sense of synchronization, especially sometimes Zhou Ziyu grins innocently, and the dog grinning and sticking out his tongue looks very similar, completely carved out of the same mold.

This dog really sent you right.

Ji Jingyuan laughed.

And Mingjing Nan tied a love head, hugged a penguin and bear doll in his arms, and sat there not much to say, but his smile was very sweet.

These nine girls are obviously very excited about their upcoming debut, and it may also be for the live broadcast effect, they are shouting noisily throughout the whole process.

Looking at Chi Jingyuan, he looked at Zhou Ziyu helplessly, this girl seemed to like this dog doll very much, and she either hugged it very tightly throughout the whole process, or gently stroked the doll's ears and neck, and when she got to the back, she took off her black-framed glasses and put them on the dog's forehead, and then stared at her seriously, and then she was stupid.

When the members around her were working hard to make the live broadcast effect, she sat alone in the corner and interacted with the dog.

Do you know you're going to make your debut......

Although he tried his best to make the effect, the live broadcast that was not funny made Ji Jingyuan see the end, and under the countdown of the last cheers of the nine people twice, the time officially reached zero o'clock on the 20th.

They looked at the mobile phones in front of them a little nervously, kept refreshing the page, and finally swiped out the title song of their debut and clicked play.

The prelude sounded familiar to them, but the melody that they had listened to so many times ago gave them a completely different feeling when it reappeared in their ears.

"Everybody's chasing me."

"Don't let me go every day."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

It was the first time for Ji Jingyuan to hear the title song of Twice's debut this time, and he nodded gently along with the melody and thought it was pretty good, but just listening to it, he noticed that several people had cried out in the live broadcast.

It's easy to understand, the bitterness and joy of the dream are interpreted with sincere tears, which is really suitable.

And this emotion quickly spread to everyone.

Zhou Ziyu, who was playing with the dog like Hanhan just now, seemed to have some emotions at this time, gently buried his head and lowered his head, holding the dog's two round paws with both hands, blocking his face, covering himself with extremely childish movements, not letting others see his expression and eyes.

Or tears.

Seeing her like this at this time, Chi Jingyuan suddenly inexplicably remembered the scene when he and Zhou Ziyu met for the first time.

The little boy who stood alone in front of the JYP building shivering, unaccompanied, and looking extremely pitiful.

And in the past few years, some pictures of getting along with each other have also come to mind.

"Hehe, today the teacher praised me again, saying that my singing skills have improved a lot......"

"It's just a big progress!"

"What are you doing, why are you doing this~"

"Sixteen has already started to choose people...... But I don't feel like the company is looking very well on me......"

"I'm going to shoot the MV in two days, because I will use one shot to the end, and I'm really tired of preparing for it in the past few days...... However, it's getting closer and closer to debut! ”

Some memories flashed in his mind, and when he recalled it, he could only sigh that so much time had passed unconsciously, and Chi Jingyuan, who also had a somewhat complicated mind, exhaled lightly, with a smile in his eyes, and said silently: "Indeed, I am finally going to make my debut." ”

At this time, the song played in the live broadcast has also entered the chorus part, and the cheerful and lively melody makes people can't help but shake their legs together.

"Even Duyi, why can't I stop wanting to do this?"

"Let me ooh ahh ooh ahh be elegant~"

Twice's debut song "Like OOH-AHH" was still ringing in his ears, and Ji Jingyuan was listening to this brainwashing song while looking at Zhou Ziyu with his head down on the screen, but he laughed out loud.

He quit the live broadcast and sent a congratulatory text message to Zhou Ziyu and Mingjing Nan.

Whether they can see it now or not, Ji Jingyuan is really happy for them.

Twice, who has been preparing for so long and has had a lot of contact with him, has finally made his debut, faded away from the once penniless trainee status, and officially entered the Kpop stage as an idol.

Just like the name of their debut album.

The Story Begins.
