"cheer up baby! cheer up baby!"

"Go harder!"

"Girls shouldn't express their feelings easily."

"In this way, you will like me even more."

On February 7th, in the practice room of twice in the left building of JYP, Ji Jingyuan was standing on the left side with several dance teachers and managers, watching the performance of the nine members of twice in the middle of the practice room.

At this moment, the nine girls are dancing the dance "Cheer Up" very much. Although there is an electronic accompaniment and no live singing, but under the request of the producer, everyone is treated as a real stage. Whether it is the management of expressions, Still, the strength of the movements is no different from that of a formal performance. They keep moving according to the beat, exchanging positions with skillful steps. Some members even use the eyes of the audience as a camera, and give a sweet wink from time to time.

But there are also some people who seem to be reluctant to let go in front of Chi Jingyuan, who occasionally look at each other and smile a little embarrassed, showing their teeth.

The audience was also very attentive, and the others were actually just foils. The main focus was Chi Jingyuan, who hadn't seen him for a while, reviewing the results of twice's practice.

I have been practicing the dance of the song "cheer up" for a long time. Although I have changed a lot of choreography, the foundation is still there. After practicing for another week, it is obviously much better than the previous one. Except Occasionally, the uniformity is still a little bit worse, but the expressiveness is almost close to the level of performing on stage.

Standing in the middle on the left, Chi Jingyuan took all the nine people into his eyes, carefully looked at everyone's expressions and movements, and tried to see everyone's strengths and weaknesses in his eyes.

But I have to say that although it is the same song and the same dance, different members have different digestion of this song and this style, as well as the degree of control. Some people just smile along with the dance and music, always attracting the attention of the audience involuntarily.

In addition to Zhou Ziyu and Mingjing Nan who are paying attention, Lim Nayeon is worthy of being known as the best trainee of JYP in recent years, and the honor of being the C main member from her debut album to this album. When she performed on stage There is indeed a distinctive shining point, with smooth movements and natural expressions, especially the style of the song "Cheer Up" is well mastered, so that people can notice her at a glance among the nine people.

Looking at the bright and sweet smile on Lin Nayeon's face and the pair of ponytails tied behind his head for a while, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but nodded in his heart, thinking that JYP's decision was quite correct .

The members couldn't watch the whole thing once too many times. Twice didn't stop until they danced three times in a row. They stood there exhausted and out of breath. After wiping off their sweat lightly, they all looked at Chi Jingyuan in front of them with some anticipation and nervousness.

"Although there is still a lot of room for improvement, overall it is pretty good." Facing the different gazes of the nine people, Chi Jingyuan glanced around, nodded and said directly: "The orderliness still needs to be improved." , Sometimes the difference in strength and accuracy in some parts seems obvious, and more practice is needed... But the lead dancer in the middle part of MOMO did a good job and danced very well."

Chi Jingyuan found that Park Zhenying had chosen the main dancer for Twice as well. Her dancing strength and flexibility were obviously better than the other back members. Several clips of her leading the dance look very tasteful, quite a feeling like when Kim Jong-in led the dance in EXO.

The part assigned to her was not difficult or bright in Chi Jingyuan's opinion, but with the choreography and accompaniment, it looked quite eye-catching under her performance. It is no wonder that Park Zhenying played in "sixteen" When I was cheeky, I wanted to revive Momo Hirai despite the criticism, and joined twice.

But you have already planned to let her debut, why did you eliminate her at that time...

"Kangsang Mita..." Hearing the compliment, Hirai Momo immediately saluted and thanked him, stood up and held his mouth together, as if he wanted to hold back his smile to make himself look more mature and stable, but unfortunately everyone who grinned was watching Clearly.

"Also, Zhihyo..." After the compliment, Chi Jingyuan's expression became a little more serious, and he looked at Park Zhihyo next to him: "The lead dancer's movements in the chorus part are good. Out of the style of this song..."

Before Park Zhixiao could be happy, Chi Jingyuan changed the subject: "But the problem is also obvious. Your expression management is not in place, especially don't pout less. The frequency of pouting is too much. It looks like it's very annoying. It’s okay to obviously act cute... If you like this kind of wink action, you can usually practice it in front of the mirror.”

"Under...understand." Although Pu Zhixiao honestly nodded to express his understanding, he moved his mouth slightly and looked a little unhappy, probably because Chi Jingyuan's words were a bit blunt.

However, Chi Jingyuan didn't care about the other party's psychology when he was working, so he just mentioned any shortcomings.

The gesture of pouting is very common, not to mention female idols, even many male idols like to do it, but some people do it very attractively, and some people do it a bit awkwardly, just now he saw After a long time, he decided that Park Jihyo was the latter.

"Then, Ziyu..." As he spoke, he looked at Zhou Ziyu again.

When Zhou Ziyu heard his name was suddenly called, he immediately opened his big eyes and looked at the other person nervously, and opened his mouth slightly with a disturbed expression, showing a sense of embarrassment and innocence.

"You are taller, and some parts of the group dance look rather abrupt. At this time, your movements can be a little stronger." Chi Jingyuan looked at Zhou Ziyu who looked dumb, and frowned slightly." Smile more naturally during performances, don't keep giggling like this..."

As he said that, the corners of his mouth turned up, and with a grin, he imitated Zhou Ziyu's appearance just now and smiled. Although he didn't have the essence and restoration of the pair of big dies, but the clever imitation and the familiar sense of stupidity also made the surrounding twice The other members immediately couldn't help but chuckle softly.

"Pure, I don't mean this kind of smirk, what is needed is that kind of pure smile, aren't you very good at this? Don't think about acting, be sincere."

"Oh... I see." Zhou Ziyu, who was ruthlessly imitated, responded dully, and glanced at Chi Jingyuan quietly, as if he was a little unhappy.

"And then Dingyan..."

After commenting on several members in a row, Chi Jingyuan felt that it was necessary to popularize their main styles for the nine members of twice:

"When you debuted, you were set as sweet and cool girls. This time, the style of your comeback has undergone a clear transformation, becoming pure and cute. The song and choreography of the song "Cheer Up" are the best. embody that style.”

"But there are too many pure and cute girl groups. It can be said that as long as it is a Kpop girl group, except for girl groups that are mainly sexy when they debut, and hip-hop style girl groups, basically all girl groups try Over the pure wind, a little farther away from Girls’ Generation, Apink in the past few years, and a large number of girl groups that have debuted in the past two years all have this style. To stand out from so many homogeneous cute styles is what we need to pay attention to most.”

Sensing the gazes and eyes of the nine girls in front of him, Chi Jingyuan took a quick glance at all of them, and then said: "Have you listened to Gfriend's new album last week? They are also a girl group with a pure style, but they are obviously different. The highlight of the ordinary girl group, through choreography and performance, has created a style of 'youth power', with its own characteristics, this time through "Time Passes" it has directly become a major trend."

Minazaki Saka and the others nodded. As a girl group that debuted in the same year, they and some members of Gfriend know each other. They are familiar with each other, but they are also competitors. They know how popular Gfriend is recently. Although they don't say it, many members are actually a little envious.

"Then besides being pure and cute, what other characteristics do you Twice need to have?" Chi Jingyuan paused for a moment, and drew across the faces of several members: "I discussed this topic with Brother Zhenying, JYP I also discussed it for a long time, and finally I summed it up, thinking that Twice’s transformation this time, in addition to the necessary factors such as purity, cuteness, and liveliness, can be more active in changing to the style of a vigorous girl.”

"What does vitality mean? It is to convey a kind of power and emotion to fans and audiences through songs, dances, movements, expressions and even mental states, so that people will feel happy after listening to your songs and watching your stage. , I can laugh when I am stressed, I will be encouraged when I am tired and unhappy, and after listening to "CHEER UP", I really feel like being cheered by the girl next door."

"If this vitality effect can really be achieved, then this transformation will definitely be successful."

Feeling that the eyes of the girls in front of him seemed to be warming up, Chi Jingyuan immediately poured cold water on them again: "However, there is still a lot that is lacking, and many members have not digested this style. Now It seems that the one who does the best is..."

As he spoke, his eyes swept left and right, and he saw some anticipation on the faces of several girls, and finally his eyes moved over Mingjing Nan, and stopped on Lin Nayen: "It's Lin, it's Nayeon. Lian."

Hearing her own name suddenly, Lin Nayen was taken aback, her eyes widened, she pointed at herself in disbelief, her mouth opened slightly to reveal her white front teeth, like a confused rabbit.

After confirming that Chi Jingyuan was looking at her, she blinked, as if feeling a little sudden, she quickly lowered her head.

"The wink is just right, the smile is natural, and it makes people feel good when you see it. You are very suitable for this style."

Chi Jingyuan turned his head to look at Lin Nayen, who was standing on the left side of the team, lowered his head and raised his eyes, and looked at him from a very magical angle: "Hold on, come on."

After finishing speaking, he looked away and looked at other people: "In my opinion, the expression and smile of a vitality girl are very important. Be natural and practice more."

...

"Oh, girl with vitality, I feel that I don't seem to be very suitable for this style. The company's positioning for me is handsome and charismatic. These two styles seem to be in complete conflict..."

After practicing for a while, it entered the rest time. After Chi Jingyuan explained to them and walked out of the practice room, the room became lively, drinking water, chatting, and Yu Dingyan, who had just returned from the bathroom, remembered Thinking of what the producer emphasized just now, thinking of the company's personality design for him, he scratched his head in distress.

"Chi Jingyuan looked really serious just now, and what he said was... a sentence that I almost couldn't catch my breath." Park Zhixiao, who was exposed by Chi Jingyuan not long ago, complained angrily in a low voice He said: "Let me practice in front of the mirror... I've been practicing for a long time, okay..."

The two of them discussed the comments just now and the knowledge points they heard in a low voice, and they stopped slowly after talking for a few minutes.

Yu Dingyan suddenly realized that it seemed that she hadn't heard the person next to him speak for a long time, she turned her head and listened to it.

"Huh heh heh heh~~"

First there was a soft humming sound, it was too vague to make out which song it was humming, and then I saw Lin Nayeon sitting cross-legged on the wooden floor next to her, leaning against the wall holding a mobile phone crookedly Looking at it with her head turned, her lips trembled slightly, obviously the voice came from her.

"Why are you in such a good mood? Didn't you complain in the morning that Chi Jingyuan is coming again today?" Yu Dingyan looked up and down the state of the eldest sister at this time, and asked with a dumbfounded smile.

"Mmmmm..."

Lin Nayen didn't turn her head when she heard it, she was still looking at the phone, humming lightly, at the same time she straightened her neck, shook her head from side to side, and her body shook accordingly, just like a pendulum telling the time.

"Didn't I just praise you a few words, as for being so happy?" Yu Dingyan didn't know how to evaluate himself, the member with the best relationship, and frowned at the disappointing elder sister: "Maybe Chi Jingyuan didn't Be safe."

"Huh heh heh heh~~"

Lin Nayeon hummed the same tune as before, as if she didn't hear it.

Yu Dingyan was left speechless by Lin Nayeon's pretentious actions, and with a fierce look in his eyes, he pounced on her and brushed up her ponytail.

What are you humming? Can you sing it more clearly?

...

Chi Jingyuan first went out to chat with twice's manager for a while, and returned to the company after a few text messages from his friends before re-entering the practice room. He did not communicate with twice, who was doing his own business during the break. I found a place far away and sat down, took out a stack of XO return scratch papers and oil-based pens from my bag, and began to write and draw on them while looking at them.

After looking at it for a while, Chi Jingyuan felt that something was missing. After thinking about it, he picked up the shoulder bag next to him, took out a bag of chocolate bars, tore open the package, and read while eating.

For the return of XO's regular third album, he is also one of the producers. In addition to taking care of the production of the self-composed song "Missing", he will also participate in the overall planning and production of the album. This has become a part of EXO's comeback. Normal.

Although the song "Missing" is a lyrical song, it has a beautiful style and catchy melody. Chi Jingyuan is still very optimistic about the market performance of this song, and has a lot of thoughts about this song in his heart.

Just as he was writing and drawing on the document with a chocolate bar in his mouth, there was a sound of squinting footsteps beside him, and soon a voice sounded beside him: "PD nim, do you want some water?"

Looking up, Kim Da Hyun's face was squeezed together, his eyes were small and he smiled a little cutely, and he handed over a glass of pure water just received in his hand.

"Thank you." Chi Jingyuan glanced at her, thanked her after a pause, took a sip, and inadvertently glanced at Zhou Zi who was sitting diagonally, with his big round legs stretched out and his head bowed. Yu.

See how winking people are and how attractive they are.

Chi Jingyuan put down the water glass, and then picked up the snack bag as a courtesy, squeezed out a chocolate bar from it, and shook it at Kim Duoxian: "Do you want to eat?"

"Can you?" The girl looked a little surprised.

"Try it, it's delicious." Chi Jingyuan pouted.

"Kangsang Mita." Jin Daxian's eyes lit up, he thanked him, took out a chocolate bar, and sat down beside him.

"You called me PD nim just now?" Seeing Jin Daxian took the snacks and ate them, Chi Jingyuan remembered the address just now, and suddenly felt a little awkward.

"Nai, senior is the producer."

"Then what do you call Brother Zhenying?"

"Uh, it's also PD nim."

"Do I look like him?"

"Pfft..." This question almost made Kim Da-hyun spit out, he quickly suppressed his smile and covered his mouth with his mouth, and after a while, he held back his smile and looked over tentatively: "Then, should I be called Senior, or Ouba? "

"what ever."

Chi Jingyuan shrugged, picked up the water glass and took another sip.

Not to mention, he was really thirsty.

"Ex, Oppa, what are you looking at?"

"Some comeback plans for XO."

"Huh? Are the seniors of XO coming back?"

"Yeah." Chi Jingyuan nodded without hiding it, and at the same time glanced at Kim Daoxian who opened his mouth wide and looked surprised: "Don't worry, I probably won't bump into you."

According to SM's estimated time, EXO's comeback will be much later than Twice's comeback. If there is no accident, even if it happens, Twice should have almost finished their singing period.

"Hey Yigu, that would be great."

Here Kim Da-hyun chatted with Chi Kyung-won, and the other members of Twice quickly noticed the situation here. Some people watched from a distance, and some, like Sun Caiying, also came together. .

Except for Zhou Ziyu and Mingjing Nan in Twice, although the other members have met Chi Jingyuan many times before in the show, backstage and other places, and often discuss him in private, they have actually exchanged views with each other until now. They are still not very familiar with each other. This time when Chi Jingyuan got along with them, he was mostly a producer, and he naturally felt a sense of oppression towards them.

Especially after understanding his serious attitude at work, it is unavoidable that there is a little more estrangement and fear.

However, when talking in private at this time, many people found that Chi Jingyuan was far from being as serious as in his previous work, but rather a casual person. Although there was no close feeling in his words, there was not much Senior shelf.

Senior entertainer, legend in the circle, TOP idol, talented, handsome, funny, and will share delicious snacks...

So many attributes really make people feel good, there is an urge to know and be familiar with, and after a while, Kim Da-hyun, Son Chae-young, and Minozaki Saka who sat over gradually became familiar.

"Ouba, is the final ending of "Signal" a happy ending? Are the guards Park Hae-young and police officer Lee Jae-han all right?" Sun Caiying looked at Chi Jingyuan with great curiosity and asked, her eyes were big and energetic.

Her tone of voice was very interesting, cadenced, and in the end when Chi Jingyuan looked over, her voice would subconsciously become smaller.

The fifth and sixth episodes of "Signal" were aired the day before yesterday and yesterday respectively. The third case, the "big robbery case" that made people sigh, was presented to all audiences. The explosion caused a burst of exclamation in the sixth episode. Afterwards, the audience's enthusiasm for discussing the plot on the Internet was extremely high, and it became a hot topic.

At the same time, the ratings officially reached the 10% threshold in the fifth episode, but the increase in the sixth episode was not much, but it stabilized at the threshold of 10%.

"Hmm..." Chi Jingyuan looked forward to this, and the girl who was obviously a fan of "Signal" hesitated for a moment.

Where he didn't notice, there was another fan who liked to watch TV dramas. Although he didn't come over, he couldn't help pricking up his ears.

After thinking about it for a while, Chi Jingyuan didn't give a positive reply: "You'll know it after you read it."

Because he doesn't know either.

The script is rather vague. Some concepts and contradictions of time travel make him a little dizzy until now, and he has not filmed this part now. The screenwriter will probably have to change the script according to the response. As the leading actor, he is actually a little unclear.

"But it should be good." Chi Jingyuan finally added.

"Ouba, when are we going to start recording?" Minatosaki Sasha asked while blinking at him.

She didn't sit down, but stood beside her, slightly bent over, with her hands resting on the armrests of the sofa.

Originally, an hour ago, they were always calling seniors, PD, etc., but after hearing Kim Da-hyun calling them just now, these people also changed their mouths.

But the name is different, the feeling is really different.

Chi Jingyuan recalled the next itinerary: "Actually, you can do it now, but don't you have to go on vacation... After the next year, I have a lot of things to do here, and there will be a series of overseas trips. You should start other things first. The recording of a few songs, the recording of "cheer up" should wait until I come back, and the time is estimated to wait until the middle or late of the month."

"Oh." Minozaki Saka opened her mouth slightly, and nodded like a puppy.

In fact, she didn't really care about the question of when to record.

She just wanted to come up and have a few words with Chi Jingyuan to get acquainted with him.

At this moment, Park Jae-hyun pushed the door open and walked in. He had rushed back overnight after sending off Pei Zhuxuan yesterday. The six or seven-hour drive from Seoul to Daegu was quite tiring.

When Chi Jingyuan heard the movement, he looked up and met him, and knew that this brother had something to say.

"What's wrong?" He asked, looking over

"Director Chi called just now..." Park Jae-hyun came over and said in a low voice, and Kim Da-hyun and the others beside him also quieted down with winks.

"My brother? What's wrong?"

"He told Jing Yuan to hurry back and have dinner together."

"Didn't we agree on seven o'clock in the evening?" Chi Jingyuan looked at the time with some doubts, it was only after four o'clock.

Today is New Year's Eve, EXO disbanded the day before yesterday, and the crew also gave everyone more than a day off. He had discussed with his family before that they would go back to celebrate the New Year together.

"He said that Ms. Chi Xianjing came back early." Park Jae-hyun explained briefly.

"Nuna? I see." Chi Jingyuan understood after hearing it, and nodded to show that he understood. He looked at the time again, stood up and clapped his hands after a short consideration: "That's it."

"I have something to do, let's stop here today. You guys need to practice more for "Cheer Up". Apart from dancing, expression management is also very important. Not only Jihyo, but everyone else has to practice in front of the mirror and think about it. Let’s talk about how I can show my charm in the vitality style. The next time I come over, I should start recording, and you should also prepare during this time.”

"But that's for later things, let's forget about it today, if it's for today..."

In the end, he explained a few words, and seeing the slightly serious expressions of the nine people standing up in front of them, Chi Jingyuan suddenly laughed, put on his shoulder bag, and waved at them:

"Happy Spring Festival."
