"Evolved Kpop! The center of the Korean Wave!"

"Fans all over the world watch it together, live broadcast, Music Bank!"

"Aniha Sai, I am Yuan from EXO."

"Hi everyone, I'm Irene from red velvet."

In front of the camera, Chi Jingyuan with light blue short-sleeved sleeves and Pei Zhuxuan in a red striped white dress are smiling beautifully. They are talking about the opening speech of today's "Music Bank" facing the camera. Both of them are wearing a The small garland-like decorations woven with flowers and plants not only highlight the summer style, but also seem to have an inexplicable sense of rightness.

As soon as the audience below saw the appearance of the two MCs, the screams immediately followed with enthusiasm, making the atmosphere in the field, which had been a little bit cold because of the performance of the unknown group just now, become restless in an instant.

"Yuan xi, the weather is so hot recently!"

Entering the host state, Pei Zhuxuan frowned, fanned herself with the script, pouted her mouth as if complaining, and looked sideways at Chi Jingyuan.

"Yeah, it's really hot."

Chi Jingyuan also imitated fanning the wind with his hands, nodded his head to confirm, and then took the initiative to care with his eyes: "But the more this time, the worse the appetite, Irene xi, you have to remember to eat, Do you understand?"

"In!" Pei Zhuxuan replied sweetly.

"Promise me!"

Chi Jingyuan looked at him with blinking eyes, and at the same time stretched out his little finger of his right hand, as if he wanted to tick.

"..." Pei Zhuxuan had crooked eyes, pursed her lips and immediately stretched out her little finger to hook him up.

"Ahhh..."

Now their hosting style has been gradually finalized. Except that their crazy wife fans and husband fans can’t accept it at all, they have won the love and love of a lot of neutral audiences, and even some fans of the two have gradually changed their positions. I think the two look really good together, and this style also makes people look sweet.

At this time, many people screamed when they saw the two sprinkling sugar.

This is sweeter than "We Got Married", isn't it? Besides, "Wo Knot" has such a good-looking CP, so there is such a tacit understanding?

"But Yuanxi."

After ticking, Pei Zhuxuan retracted her hand, staring at Chi Jingyuan with a twinkle in her eyes, with a curious look: "Why did you become so gentle today?"

"Is it gentle?"

Chi Jingyuan blinked: "Then I'm so gentle, Irene xi, is your heart moved?"

"Ahh..."

Is it really okay for you guys to be so straightforward?

"Music Bank" is so beautiful!

"No."

Seemingly hearing the screams from the audience below, Pei Zhuxuan couldn't help laughing, but she smiled smugly after a while, shook her head and directly denied: "Maybe I'm a little bit moved, but the person who makes my heart move is not you, It's someone else!"

"Who is it?" The voice was low and questioning.

Cheeks puffed up a little, Pei Zhuxuan tried her best to suppress a smile, and said the introductory words on the script: "That is Liu Chengyu, who is cute when he smiles, and six handsome men, Beast! They will make a comeback in "Music Bank" today I really want to see them!"

While she was talking, she weighed her feet on the platform twice, as if she was really eager to try and was very anxious.

"Then I'll go first."

Chi Jingyuan replied angrily, and turned his head directly as if he wanted to step off the stage, but before he turned around and took a step, Pei Zhuxuan directly reached out and grabbed his wrist and pulled it back, and Chi Jingyuan did the same. Taking advantage of the trend, he stopped and turned around again, the dissatisfied expression disappeared immediately, and he smiled brightly, turned around and met her, and then looked at the camera together: "Haha, let's take a look at the July 1st Five weeks, who is one of Kchart's alternates..."

Although it has entered the stage of VCR announcing the candidates, there are not many people who care about it. Many viewers are still reminiscing about the natural and boring interaction between the two MCs just now.

Even though many people in the audience knew that it was a script, they always felt that the performance of these two people was really real, especially when Pei Zhuxuan pulled it at the end, it was simply a conditioned reflex.

"Music Bank" is so beautiful!

After the opening host, Chi Jingyuan and Pei Zhuxuan walked off the host stage, leaving the camera to the girl group who will perform on the stage next.

By the end of July, those girl groups who were playing so hard at the beginning of July have gradually ended their song playing period. For example, AOA and sistar have stopped playing songs a long time ago, and Girls' Generation has won three or four. Each of them seems to be satisfied after that, and it is estimated that they have put their experience on the upcoming regular album, and the activity period of the previous album has also ended.

Among the girl groups competing this week, Chi Jingyuan is more familiar with Gfriend, who thinks the new song is good, and Apink, who has finally entered a candidate.

Many viewers have also noticed that today "Music Bank" broke into a candidate, and the one who confronted EXO, who is still here, is Apink who finally entered the candidate.

Speaking of Apink's comeback with a regular album after more than half a year, after nearly half a month of activities, the approximate results can already be seen.

In terms of sales, nearly 100,000 copies were sold, setting a new record for Apink since their debut. This proves that their fan base is really strong among girl groups. There are really not many girl groups that can sell this number nowadays. Obviously, the previous three consecutive hits have brought a large number of viewers and a solid fan base to Zheng Eunji and the others.

However, the sound source has dropped significantly compared to before. Although the title song "remember" was good and broke the charts once, its stamina is obviously lacking, and it immediately pales in comparison to the songs from the previous mini comebacks.

The important thing is that in the singing competition program, Apink has only won two first places so far, which is completely different from their unstoppable momentum that "luv" swept through January at the end of last year.

Although Apink's performance is actually very good, and overall it is one of the best among the girl groups that have come back in recent times, it may be because their last comeback was so successful, people always feel that their regular album this time seems to be Something is missing.

Chi Jingyuan and several members of Apink are familiar with each other, especially since Zheng Eunji is still there. Before the show started, he naturally went backstage to chat with them for a while.

It feels pretty good. The members of Apink don't seem to have so many thoughts and are quite satisfied. Not to mention Son Na-eun, who gets along more and more naturally, Jung Eun-ji is very lively and crazy, grinning non-stop at one moment, and irritable and serious at the other. He looked like he wanted to hit someone, fully displaying his barbaric aura in the Busan countryside.

Apart from Apink, Chi Jingyuan paid a little attention to Gfriend. When it was their turn to take the stage, he took a closer look at the performance of this girl group at the backstage entrance.

It's the song "Let's Start Today"

There are not many fans, and the support is almost unheard.

However, the strength of this group is really great. The stage effect is good, and the pure and campus song style shows a sense of power. In addition to the loud voice of the lead singer, the one who left a deep impression on him was this woman. The group dance was really neat.

Looking at it, he even felt that it seemed to be more tidy than EXO, who always had people holding them back.

After the stage ended, there were not too loud but sparse applause and cheers. Chi Jingyuan leaned against the wall and blinked.

Pity.

Artists performed on the stage one by one, and he and Bae Zhuhyun also stepped in to host a few words from time to time. Soon, today's broadcast came to an end, and all the artists came on stage to award trophies.

One candidate, EXO "boy with luv" and Apink "remember"

"..."

"So today's protagonist is..."

"Apink, thick Camida!"

As the picture of the last winner was displayed on the screen, Chi Jingyuan took the microphone and loudly announced today's winner. At the same time, the BGM remembered and ribbons floated down from the ceiling.

"congratulations!"

Chi Jingyuan turned sideways, holding the trophy in both hands and handed it to Sun Naeun who was standing next to him. Sun Naeun smiled, took the trophy, glanced at him, and then handed it to the captain Park Chulong next to him.

At this time, several members of Apink looked very surprised, because they really did not expect to be able to defeat EXO, who has become the guardian BOSS this time. In "Music Bank", a program with no one limit, "boy with "luv" swept through two months, and it still had some power from June to July. Last week, it once again killed Girls' Generation without mercy.

By the way, maybe this is why SNSD stopped singing...

Jin Nanzhu and Wu Xiarong didn't have much hope before. Unexpectedly, a surprise suddenly came. Wu Xiarong looked like he was about to cry.

"Please give your acceptance speech."

Pei Zhuxuan smiled and reminded a few people who were a little stunned. Park Chulong immediately reacted, took the microphone and started talking.

"Thank you so much……"

Chi Jingyuan laughed and clapped softly beside him. There was no surprise or disappointment on his face, and he looked like he was happy and blessing Apink.

He is indeed not disappointed. When he won first place on "Music Bank" last week, he had already felt it through the increasingly lower total score. Even with EXO's popularity and the results of "Boy with Luv", after two Months have passed and it is already at the end of the day. Last week's "Music Center" was not on the waiting list. It is normal that it cannot be obtained this week.

And they have indeed been relying on it for too long. Every time several girl groups in the front are fighting each other, the funny scene where the last one is EXO who doesn't come at all can't help but be tainted by the so-called 'summer girl group war' A layer of funny colors and elements, now it’s time to return the stage to them.

If what is expected is true, "BWL" should not have a chance to win another trophy in the future. However, this song has completely dominated the scene for nearly two months without playing songs for such a long time. This is Such achievements and experiences are legendary enough.

By the way, how many first-place winners did "BWL" win this time?

Chi Jingyuan looked at the Apink members who were delivering their speeches, and suddenly began to make calculations in his mind, but he couldn't remember clearly.

But he knew it after a while.

"EXO "boy with luv" won "show champion", "M! countdown", "Inkigayo" all three consecutive championships, "Music Center" six consecutive championships, "Music Bank" seven consecutive championships, a total of 22 songs One, making idol group one history, becoming the idol group and Kpop song with the most one in history."

After get off work, Chi Jingyuan was on his way back to the company in a nanny car, and saw some drafts and posts from fans on his mobile phone, and quickly found the battle report post recording EXO's first-place results this time. It is clear at a glance.

Ai Li remembers things like this kind of honor and self-esteem much better than the members of XO.

"It's really amazing. I remember that many years ago, taking one No. 1 could be called a popular group. Although it is simpler now, but EXO is a bit too exaggerated. I feel that it is very popular for many groups. For the most difficult trophy, they just take it casually like wholesale."

"This is the result obtained when EXO didn't play songs at all. If they keep playing songs, I feel that the popularity can continue to be maintained. Maybe I can get two more. By the way, EXO has never participated in "the show" during the whole process. If we go, there may be three more."

"So many words are meaningless, is it number one now? I don't know if you have noticed the expression on Yuan's face when he announced that Apink won the first place today. He was smiling and very happy. I feel that he has already taken it. Take it again."

In the post, the comments below are basically all admiration and praise. Even if you are not a fan of EXO, but as long as you are in the Kpop circle, no matter which combination you are a fan of, you will be amazed by this terrifying single number.

The owner of many fans is still working hard for the first song hit since his debut, but some people don't know where to put the trophy...

With a little pride and a strong sense of honor, Chi Jingyuan smiled and clicked on another post.

"In the history of Kpop artists and songs, the number of all ones ranks in the top five."

"No. 1 EXO "boy with luv" 22."

"Second place PSY "Gangnam Style" with 19."

"The third place is EXO's "call me baby" with 17."

"The fourth place is EXO's "Roar" with 17."

"Fifth place Apink "LUV" 17."

Among the top five songs with the number of singles, three are the names of the same group, so it is very intuitive to look at it, and the shock it brings is beyond words.

The poster also added a sentence later: "This is the ranking list of Kpop songs. If it rises to the category of all Korean songs, the first place is "I Know" released by Xu Taizhi and the children in 1992, which won a total of 25. one, and the others in the top five move forward by one."

Even if it is shifted one place backward, there are still 3 EXOs in the top five, so the bottom of this post is full of praise and rainbow farts.

However, Chi Jingyuan didn't get too flustered after being happy for a short time, especially after seeing the exaggerated number of Xu Taizhi and the children, he felt the need to be humble.

It is indeed easier to get a trophy now than before. After all, there are more singing shows, and "the show", a maverick place for reunion and fulfillment of dreams. No matter how you look at it, the number of trophies is more valuable than It used to be lower.

After all, many years ago, there were not many singing shows that those senior artists could participate in, even if they were all taken together, it would not be many. For example, Girls' Generation's "gee" won a total of 14 places, but with their overwhelming popularity at that time, if there were two more song playing shows at that time, maybe they would be the number one now.

So after he read it, he felt that the number of people was the same, and he passed away happily.

Don't be too flustered, don't make it like some seniors in the future, if it is difficult to get three or four in the past, it will be a bit embarrassing.

...

After Chi Jingyuan returned to the company, he met up with the members and the manager. After a while, they took the salutes they had brought before, took a chartered car to the airport, and flew to Xiaguochuan City.

Tomorrow, August 1st, there will be a concert at the Chuancheng Sports Center.

The concert is nothing special. The place where Chi Jingyuan holds the concert when he is happy. Among the Chinese food, Sichuan cuisine is his favorite. Although there are a few good ones in Seoul, but if you don’t eat it locally, you always feel that it’s not good. That energy.

When he arrived on the 31st, he took Jin Junmian and others out for supper. After the concert on the 1st, he went out to eat hot pot together. He left on the plane with some reluctance the next day. Class, back to Seoul.

"As far as I'm concerned, the theme and style of the song "I" don't match rap very well, and adding it will look a bit abrupt."

In the meeting room of SM company, as a producer, Ji Jingyuan was talking about his opinions with others: "But I tried to remove that rap again, but I always felt that something was missing."

Today is August 3rd. At this time, some important matters regarding the final aspects of Kim Taeyeon's solo album are being discussed in the conference room on the fourth floor of SM Company. Except for the producer Ji Kyung-won, several other related musicians are all listed. , the main control Lee Soo Man and the main lead Kim Taeyeon also attended.

What they are discussing at this time is about whether to add rap to the song "I". This song has basically been completed, and the arrangement has been given to different composers to make several versions, but about this The problem is that Chi Jingyuan, as the main creator, has not yet fully decided to pay attention.

"Hmm..." Li Xiuman nodded calmly, glanced at Kim Taeyeon who said "I'm thinking seriously too", and then looked at Chi Jingyuan: "Still not sure about paying attention?"

"A little hesitant." Chi Jingyuan pursed his lips and told the truth.

He did have some hesitation and had been thinking about this for several days.

"Then tell me what you think."

Li Xiuman nodded and looked at the producers and musicians working on it: "What do you think of the effect of the rap in "I"?"

"I also feel a little bit about what Yuan Xi said..."

"I think this rap is quite good. It reflects the theme of the song in different ways and adds to the diversity of the song."

"Furthermore, after removing it, the connection between the main song and the following will be very stiff. I will definitely have to compose a new song in the middle to replace it. In that case, the arrangement may have to be redone..."

Several musicians present expressed their own opinions. Both Chi Jingyuan and Li Xiuman listened carefully and nodded from time to time.

Kim Taeyeon also listened very carefully.

"..."

After discussing for a while and collecting all the opinions, Li Xiuman pondered for a long time and finally expressed his thoughts and decisions: "I think it's better to add it. Jingyuan, the problem you mentioned is indeed a bit, but what about Kpop songs? How can it be without rap? You can slightly reduce the amount of rap, but it can’t be eliminated.”

"Um."

Chi Jingyuan nodded slowly and agreed with Li Xiuman's statement.

Although I don’t know the specific reason, it is true that Kpop songs must contain rap, regardless of whether it is suitable or not.

It’s not appropriate anyway, just try to be appropriate.

"Also, the most important thing about this rap is that it allows you to do this feat." Lee Soo Man added as he spoke.

"Me?" After hearing this, Chi Jingyuan was stunned for a second and pointed at himself with his eyes open.

"Unless the artist requests it, we are accustomed to finding it from within. Jingyuan, we all know your rap ability. If we find it from within the company, there won't be many people who are better than you. And with your popularity, Whether she is a producer or a singer, Taeyeon's title song will be full of gimmicks, which can be of great help in promotion."

Lee Soo Man smiled and explained: "Whether it is the song itself or other aspects, I think you are the most suitable one."

"so……"

Chi Jingyuan nodded lightly, but he had no objection. Li Xiuman analyzed that there was indeed nothing wrong with it, and singing feats was just a trivial matter for him. There was nothing difficult about it except that it would take up some time.

He glanced at Kim Taeyeon who kept nodding at him and smiled: "Then let me try."

"It's definitely no problem."

Ignoring Kim Taeyeon who was blinking and flattering him, Chi Jingyuan sorted out the information and documents in front of him and his expression became serious: "Some things about the title song "I" have almost come to an end. I’m sure I won’t delete the rap, I will sing the feat…”

"Now, the songs have been finalized. Taeyeon Xi's solo mini-album tentatively named "I" has been confirmed to include the title song of the same name, "I", "UR", "Gemini", "Pressure", "Tell Me First" and the instrumental version of "I" are six songs in total."

"There is still a little bit of preliminary preparation left, and it should be completed in the next two days. Then the song recording will start simultaneously, and some other work can also start."
