Chapter 116: Come Together

"Alas......"

Park Jin-young sighed, and her tone contained deep emotion and chagrin.

In his opinion, if Chi Jingyuan followed his brother to JYP first, now the first of the three major stock prices may be JYP, which is desperate to fight to the death for a few years, and then put all the sustenance on a rookie girl group

"Hehe......" Ji Jingyuan was amused by his slightly exaggerated expression, he looked around at the eight members of Twice, shook his head and comforted perfunctorily: "Maybe if I come to JYP, I will take a different path...... And now my brother's company isn't Twice? ”

Although JYP's stock has not climbed significantly now, it is obviously much better than the half-dead in the previous two years, and the nickname 'Frappuccino' has not been mentioned for a while.

Especially with the explosion of Twice, which has injected new energy into the entire JYP company, if Twice can continue to develop smoothly, it is expected that JYP will come back to life and improve the dilemma of previous years.

Although, even if it recovers, it may still be far from SM with EXO......

"Haha......"

Park Jin-young laughed, and then looked at the surrounding girls, with a kind and kind face, obviously very satisfied with Twice.

Although this matter of Chi Jingyuan has always made him feel like a fish in his throat, but the matter has come to this point, he just took the opportunity to recall, in fact, it was still the majority of the performance, and he soon recovered, and turned to look at Chi Jingyuan with a smile: "At that time, it was really almost that you were from our side, plus the cooperation and shares in the back, so in fact, I have always regarded Jingyuan as my own family......"

His already small eyes narrowed into a line, and his smile was a little treacherous: "Maybe after your contract with SM expires, you will be transferred to our side......"

"My contract? Brother, are you thinking a little too far, my contract expires early......"

Ji Jingyuan shook his head and didn't answer his words.

His contract is signed separately, and compared to the contracts of other EXO members, the restrictions in it are much more relaxed, and it is a preferential contract specially prepared by SM for him.

However, his contract was a seven-year contract, as was the usual one for the others, from 12 years to now, and it was not until 1819 that it was renewed.

…… Although, to be honest, the contract is not very restrictive for him.

After a pause of two seconds, Ji Jingyuan picked up the wine glass and shook it, feeling the looming gaze around him, and jokingly looked at Park Jinying and continued: "Moreover, even if the contract expires, I really don't dare to come......"

Seeing Park Zhenying's puzzled eyes, Ji Jingyuan pouted beside him: "Because...... Brother, isn't there too much itinerary for artists on your side, as far as I've come into contact with, not to mention others, Twice's activity schedule in the non-return period alone is a lot of scary, and when I made "cheer up", I saw that they didn't even have time to sleep, let alone during the return period, I felt terrible when I saw that itinerary......

"I don't feel like EXO is as busy as Twice right now......"

Hearing that they suddenly talked about their own affairs, several girls next to them also slowed down the movements in their hands, and while listening to Ji Jingyuan's words, they looked at Park Zhenying cautiously.

The brother's smile became slightly awkward.

Ji Jingyuan shrugged his shoulders and raised his eyes to recall: "I remember that since EXO's debut, the busiest period of time should be...... It should be the "Roar" period of 13 years.

Because my previous debut was not a success, and during that time, because of the event, the song suddenly gained a lot of popularity, so the company arranged a lot of itineraries, and even had very little time to rest, and at that time I remember only catching up on sleep in the lounge and the nanny car...... But now that I think about it, it's just like the previous Twice. ”

JYP doesn't know if it's because of the psychological shadow of the miserable street a few years ago, or if he finally found a way to escape the quagmire, Twice's work is exaggerated after his debut, and since his debut in October last year, except for a little bit of leisure at the beginning of the year, other times are full of various schedules even if it is not the return period.

Needless to say, when it came to the "cheer up" event period, Ji Jingyuan felt scary and a little puzzled when he saw it......

What are you popular? Why are you busier than us?

Other artists under JYP are quite normal, such as Day6 GOT7, the schedules of these boy groups are quite normal, and they are slamming at a rookie girl group, probably because Twice is enough to make money...... Ji Jingyuan didn't dare to think that with his ability to attract money, if he went to JYP, would his stage name be changed to thrice.

SM is okay here, but also because it is more substantial, even if EXO has become the biggest cash cow, there is no death itinerary arranged, and even because of the coffee position and the company's image setting of EXO, many low-end variety shows and activities have been completely stopped for them, and sometimes they even seem more leisurely.

Except for the special time when all kinds of itineraries and preparation activities are crowded together, the other itineraries are relatively normal, and even during the return period, he can even find time to play games and talk about love - this is what makes Ji Jingyuan more satisfied.

Ji Jingyuan looked at Park Zhenying and smiled innocently:

"I'm actually quite a lazy person, and I probably can't sustain such a large workload."

"Uh-he-he-he-he......" In the face of Ji Kyung-won's joking questioning, Park Jin-young covered up the past with a slightly embarrassed smile.

Park Jin-young, of course, knows that sometimes the itinerary of his group is a little too much.

Although he is also a singer, he will be more approachable when communicating and getting along with his artists, but no matter how kind he is, after all, when running the company and the group, his position must still be on the side of the company, in fact, there is no essential difference with Li Xiuman and Yang Xianshuo.

Park Jin-young is also not very good, and directly said to Ji Kyung-won in front of other people, 'You are different from Twice, if you come, how dare we arrange so many jobs for you' and something like that.

But of course, with his cheek, he would not be stumped by this kind of thing, he glanced at Sun Caiying and Zhou Ziyu next to him: "The rookie period is like this, every group is like this, and now is the best time for Twice to accumulate popularity......"

"It's also ......" Ji Jingyuan smiled and didn't say much, he just mentioned it casually, which was an excuse to decline Park Zhenying's hinted invitation just now.

He could see that although there may be a lot of trips, the girls like Twice have a feeling of being happy.

It's not really important whether they're tired or not, after all, relative to tiredness, in their current hearts, popularity is the most important thing...... It's exactly the same as the mentality of EXO at the beginning, and even the mentality of all the newcomers in the circle.

Some people don't have a chance to get tired......

At this time, although Zhou Ziyu, Minato Saxia, and Mingjing Nan are wearing private clothes, some of them still have tiredness in their eyebrows and eyes that can't be covered, but everyone's mental state looks very good.

Everyone is dressed beautifully, Zhou Ziyu's waistless short shirt with jeans, Sasaka Minato Sasha's pleated little skirt, and Minami Mingjing's one-shoulder bat shirt......

Compared with when they first debuted, and when they were preparing the album a few months ago, everyone seems mature and confident, and their eyebrows are shining at a glance, and their eyes are full of grace, and there is a charm that people can appreciate under this spiritual temperament.

Even a little kid like Zhou Ziyu looks a little eye-catching.

Chi Jingyuan saw it very clearly and felt it very clearly.

Red is really nourishing, and popularity is the best cosmetic.

"And their return period is coming to an end, and after these two busy days, there will be a vacation for everyone to have a good rest......"

As if he didn't want to leave a bad impression on Ji Kyung-won, Park Jin-young added another sentence, and then took the initiative to move on to another topic: "Then we have to start preparing for their new album." ”

When he said this, it also aroused Chi Jingyuan's interest, and he looked at him with a wink: "Oh? Coming back again? Already have the song decided? ”

All industry insiders, and even fans can see that this year's 2016 is a very obvious year for the replacement of girl groups, because of age, but also because of various reasons such as man-made disasters, Girls' Generation, Apink, AOA, these older generation of girl groups have obviously failed to catch up, and the new generation of girl groups have all bloomed their brilliance this year, one is more conspicuous than the other.

Red velvet, who was originally in the lead, had no choice but to fall behind due to the return of "July 7th", while Gfriend and Twice soared to the sky with a big hit song respectively, and so far the two girl groups have shown the potential to compete for the new generation of No. 1 girl groups.

Twice's next return is very crucial for themselves, whether they can continue the popularity of "cheer up" and establish their position while the iron is hot, or fail to hit the street and fall into the disadvantage under the competition with the girl group of the same generation.

But it seems to be ...... This is also the case with Red Vevet, and even a little more serious.

"The included songs are still being selected, but the title song is almost decided."

"This time it's a song you wrote, brother?" Chi Jingyuan asked curiously.

He's curious, but this time he's not interested in participating, he still has to prepare his solo, the group's reissued albums, concerts, subway songs and even TV series, and his work is already busy.

The Twice people next to him also looked at these two people with a smile, and they were not too surprised, obviously they already knew before.

"That's right, it's a song written in the style of Jingyuan's 'Genki cute' that you designed before, if you're interested, I'll send you the demo to listen to when the time comes, and give me suggestions by the way."

"Well, brother is a famous girl group, where do you need me to advise you on your level......"

"Haha, you just like to be humble, don't you know? After Taeyeon Xi's "I" and "cheer up", you have been a famous girl group in the industry recently, and I don't know how many companies and groups I want to work with you ......"

β€œqingjia? Why haven't I heard of it...... Does the new title song have a name? ”

"Yes, I'll send it to you when I get back, it's called "Very Very Very"

…………

The chat was happy, the food tasted good, and the beautiful and delicious neighbors sat down, and the meal was quite enjoyable.

In addition to Zhou Ziyu, it is the first time for Ji Jingyuan to have a private meal with the rest of Twice, although he does not have the perfect filter that Twice fans have for their idols, but it feels quite novel to have dinner and chat with a group of girl idols.

Although most of the girls couldn't let go because of Park Jinying's presence, Ji Jingyuan still noticed a lot of interesting things, especially the eating habits of individual people.

Sun Caiying is the most interesting, sitting next to Park Jinying but eating all the time, and he didn't listen to the leader's speech very carefully, her mouth kept moving, and her eating was very infectious...... Ji Jingyuan even noticed that Park Zhenying looked at her several times in the middle, and the little girl didn't notice it.

Zhou Ziyu is still like that, he can't sit properly, every time he eats, he has to lower his head and poke his head behind his ears, and sometimes he has to put his left hand under his mouth and continue, as if he is worried about the food falling. Eating and eating, he found Chi Jingyuan's sight, and then his little face turned red, and he was embarrassed to laugh there.

Mingjing Nan eats in small sips and whispers, the movements are very skillful and even a little elegant, I feel as if I have received special training, and the appearance of gently covering my mouth and chewing is very temperamental, and it is inexplicably a little attractive.

And Lin Nalian next to her has been taking small bites, but Chi Jingyuan always feels that she doesn't seem to be very comfortable.

As for Sasaki Minato, I don't know why, it seems to be a little inexplicably excited, and I have been looking at him between eating, and I smile weirdly from time to time, as if I am possessed by something......

Thinking of this, Chi Jingyuan glanced back at Minato Sasha, who was holding Minai's arm and whispering something, still with a greasy smile, pouting, and about to kiss Mingjingnan's ear.

At this time, the dinner party was over, and the group came out of the box and walked in the passage, Ji Jingyuan and Park Zhenying took the lead in chatting in front, and the staff of Twice and JYP followed behind, not very closely, four or five meters away.

"That's right." As he was talking, Park Jin-young, who was next to him, suddenly mentioned something: "JYP Nation will be held in a while, you know Jingyuan, right?"

"Huh? I know, I've heard of it. ”

Hearing him mention this, Chi Jingyuan paused, nodded, and said with a smile: "It's held in August, right?" I've seen some of your live streams on VAPP......"

JYP nation is actually a joint performance of JYP's family concert, in which all its artists participate...... SM TOWN is actually the same nature as SM Corporation.

However, because JYP has not developed well in recent years, and there are no top-level artists to attract the box office, it is far inferior to SM Town in terms of scale and influence, SM Town holds a world tour every year, and it is still a super stadium with tens of thousands of people It is difficult to find a ticket, while JYP Nation last held it in 2014, and it is only held once every two years.

SM TOWN is all EXO, TVXQ, Girls' Generation, SJ lineup, JYP Nation is 2PM, WG, GOT7, day6 these ......

How can this be compared?

By the way, I'm going to add a Twice this year......

Some time ago, JYP announced that it would re-hold JYP Nation this year, and Park Jin-young also personally created the theme song of the concert for this purpose, and also made a gimmick of sub-theme song part, so that many artists teamed up to broadcast live on the V APP for promotion, and Ji Jingyuan occasionally clicked in and watched it twice......

How to say it.

The content of the live broadcast highlights a boredom and embarrassment, and it is difficult to understand that so many movements and gimmicks were made to divide the part, but in the end, the method of 'rock-paper-scissors' was chosen to decide which genius came up with the idea of the part.

"Oh, you said that, hehe......"

Hearing Ji Jingyuan mention the live broadcast, Park Jin-young couldn't help laughing twice: "This is the first family concert in two years, this year is the year when the company is back on track, and the company attaches great importance to this JYP Nation, hoping to expand its influence and raise some stock prices, for which a lot of preparations have been made, including publicity, hardware, stage art, and many cooperation stages......

Then, in addition to the usual practice, the parents and relatives of many artists will be invited to support the children, and many company executives will also come to the scene to watch, Jingyuan Your family has a lot of shares in the company, so they are all their own people, including Cui Council, who replaces the shares, I also sent an invitation to your brother Jing Xu Xi a few days ago, and if you are interested, you can come and see the children's performances together. ”

"Him?"

Hearing Park Jinying invite him, Ji Jingyuan was not surprised, he had expected it when he heard this brother mention it just now,...... It's just that he was a little surprised by his brother Chi Jingxu's invitation.

He remembered that when EXO was in the first concert, SM invited all the members' parents, including the second brother, and the second brother also came to save face, but then he said a few words to him backstage, and left after a while, and he didn't watch the official performance at all.

Don't look at his brother when he gets along with him, he is noisy, has a funny personality, and is very easy to talk to, but the arrogance in his bones when he comes into contact with other people is deep-rooted, and it is just that it is not obvious because of the good performance of the tutor.

Even when he met the parents of other members of EXO, he behaved very gently, and greeted him politely, but in fact, it was all for the sake of his younger brother's face.

If it weren't for Ji Jingyuan, it is estimated that he would not have paid attention to Kpop at all...... Presumably on stage, he may be more interested in his brother's soaking in a few girls.

Ji Jingyuan couldn't help laughing, looked at Park Zhenying, and shook his head: "He should... You're not interested in this kind of thing, are you? ”

"Huh? No, it won't! ”

Hearing Ji Jingyuan's statement, Park Zhenying also looked a little surprised, and looked at him with small eyes: "When I talked to Jing Xuxi on the phone some time ago, ......"

"I think he's interested."
