Peninsula Asteroid

"Deng Deng Deng Deng~"

"The drum beat of this intro is good..."

In the music room of Jiang Hyo Shin of SM Company, Chi Kyung Yuan was wearing headphones and listening to a latest work that this brother seriously recommended. When he heard the prelude, he raised his eyebrows and praised it.

Originally, Chi Jingyuan was planning to work hard on the set these past few days to finish the scenes as soon as possible. However, after promising Zhou Ziyu to go with her tonight yesterday, Chi Jingyuan simply asked for leave in the afternoon and came to the SM building to check it out. Regarding the preparation progress of my solo album, I also discussed with some musicians in the company the EXO group's selection of songs for this year's local album and for overseas markets.

Regarding song selection, Ji Kyung-won attaches great importance to PDOGG, the producer of Kang Hyo-shin. Since joining the company a few years ago, this guy has provided EXO with many high-level HIT songs. Compared with the completely industrialized Kpop Due to the situation, this brother's songs have a stronger personal style. Chi Jingyuan feels that a similar style may be more suitable for overseas markets.

Obviously, Kang Hyo Shin has also been prepared for the company's task. He has prepared more than ten songs for EXO to choose from. He is also very thoughtful and has the goal of being the main promotion.

The first song is the dance song currently playing, named "ON".

After the three-minute song ended, Chi Jingyuan faced Jiang Xiaoxin’s expectant eyes, hesitated a little and said:

"It's not a typical Kpop song. The chorus is not very memorable, and the main style doesn't feel very popular, and..."

Although it was Jiang Xiaoxin who recommended it, after listening to it for the first time, Chi Jingyuan felt that it was not very eye-catching, and asked with some doubts: "Brother, the arrangement is not finished yet, right?"

"Nai, I'm waiting to do it with you." Jiang Xiaoxin didn't care about the ordinary comments, but instead winked at him and smiled.

"Ha," Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but laugh.

This song "ON" is currently just a slightly rough DEMO, but the general style and characteristics have been fully demonstrated. In terms of listening experience, it is not a very amazing song.

Just thinking about the feeling of this song, Chi Jingyuan pondered for a while and then added: "However, the rhythm is very good and the layering of chapters is very strong. It should be especially suitable for the kind of intense and grand choreography... dance That should be the highlight of this song.”

"Yes, I heard Director Li Nim talk about EXO's main style this time and felt that this song was very suitable."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaoxin nodded quickly as if he had found a soulmate, and then talked about his thoughts enthusiastically: "The essence of this song lies in the dance, and the choreography is suitable for a difficult, fierce and handsome direction. ...I thought about the crowd-pleaser tactic, which is a bit similar to the special stages you have at the end of the year for "FIRE". With such intense music and the crowds on the stage, it will definitely look shocking."

"……Um."

Chi Jingyuan thought for a while and came up with an idea: "If possible, just find a professional dance group to cooperate directly and include everyone on the stage from the beginning of the choreography... Some musical instruments can even be used in the dance. , the drum sound at the beginning is particularly good.”

"Yes, yes, Jingyuan, you have more ideas..." Jiang Xiaoxin's eyes lit up and he started talking.

Chi Jingyuan discussed with Jiang Xiaoxin for a while, and suddenly changed his views and ideas.

Some details of EXO's attempt to enter America this time have not been polished yet, but the general framework has been thought out. Through the previous meeting, several major directions have been determined, including "This time, we will not publish English majors, but enter the United States with Korean songs." They do not try to completely integrate into the mainstream like their predecessors, but maintain the unique advantages and style of Peninsula idols. "The main purpose is to attract fans and expand the market." Neat and fierce dancing is the top priority. These are very key factors.

After discussing for a while, Chi Jingyuan also felt that if the choreography of "ON" was excellent, with its unique style and strong rhythm, it would still meet the company's song selection requirements this time.

After "ON", Chi Jingyuan listened to a few more songs, and gave his own comments and opinions on each song.

However, it may be due to preconceptions. After listening to it, Chi Jingyuan actually felt that the first song "ON", a strong dance song, was the most promising.

"That's pretty much it for now, because I don't have much experience in the American market... To be honest, it's hard to find a song that does better than the song "BWL" you wrote last year, whether it's American or Neon."

After listening to it, Jiang Xiaoxin put down his headphones and made a summary. Then he remembered something, looked at Chi Jingyuan and asked, "I thought your song "Gene" you played to me before was quite good, but I never thought of using it. ”

"I'm actually surprised that "BWL" became a hit among Ami and Neon..."

Chi Jingyuan also smiled a little reservedly and helplessly after hearing this, then shook his head and said: "That song is not finished yet... and I plan to use it in this year's local album."

"Who said that local albums can't open up the market... XO really broke into the overseas market with your regular second album "EXO-L" last year."

Jiang Xiaoxin shrugged nonchalantly: "Sometimes it may be better to concentrate on yourself than to prepare carefully."

After saying goodbye to Jiang Xiaoxin and leaving his music room, Chi Jingyuan went to the company's record department and chatted with several department heads about the situation and progress of the album in the past two days.

Finally, he also specifically asked about the acquisition of Chinese songs... Ever since he said it in the group that day, he felt more and more that adding a Chinese song to the Chinese version of the album was a very necessary thing, which could show his sincerity and surprise and satisfy mainland fans. He had not thought of this before, which was a bit inconsiderate.

...Even Yoona, a fake singer who rarely speaks in the group, can record and release Chinese songs specifically for mainland fans, let alone Chi Jingyuan who loves fans so much?

"Since you explained it, we have immediately started to collect songs in the mainland market, and several well-known producers have also initiated acquisition applications, and have already connected with the music libraries of several companies cooperating in the mainland. Jingyuanxi can go and listen to it now to see if there are any suitable ones..."

SM's work efficiency surprised Chi Jingyuan a little... If he hadn't had something to leave soon, he really wanted to listen to the songs he received.

He left the music room with some regrets, and he couldn't help but complain to Zhou Ziyu in his heart.

Alas, it really makes trouble for him. Although he is not young, he is still quite attractive.

Hurry up and get it done, come back to listen to the songs.

………………

After parking the car in an underground parking lot near JYP, Chi Jingyuan sent a text message to Zhou Ziyu after turning off the engine, and then leaned back in his chair, looking at the empty atmosphere and the slightly gloomy incandescent lights around him. Thinking of the girl who was expected to come soon, he suddenly became absent-minded.

Some time ago, because of Ming Jingnan’s matter, he had not been in contact with Zhou Ziyu, and the relationship between the two seemed to have become a little subtle.

And because of the phone call the day before yesterday, things changed again in just two days...

In the past, when Chi Jingyuan thought of Zhou Ziyu, what appeared in his mind were her short face, small tiger teeth, and various dark and earthy images and dresses in the past.

And now... Yesterday in the car, because of the association with ZICO aesthetics, a casual glance, but the image of Zhou Ziyu’s legs and amazing waist-to-hip ratio that was imprinted in his eyes, appeared in front of him reflexively.

Unconsciously, Chi Jingyuan now thought of Zhou Ziyu, and suddenly found that his impression of her seemed to have changed.

And now thinking back... Originally, the girl was just upset and called him to vent. According to his usual experience and his methods, the problem should have been solved after the call... How did it suddenly develop to the point where he had to accompany her to the club to step on people?

Why does it feel weird?

"Bang!"

Just when Chi Jingyuan was in a daze and thinking, the passenger door was suddenly opened, making Chi Jingyuan, who was caught off guard and lost in thought, suddenly alert, and his hand trembled and almost honked the horn.

Ah Xi, you walk without making any sound?

It was so quiet around him, but he didn't hear any movement at all. Chi Jingyuan frowned and prepared to say something fierce.

Just when he turned his head and saw the smiling short face staring at him, he was stunned. His frown disappeared instantly. After pausing for two seconds, he frowned again slightly deliberately, as if to save face, and looked at her unhappily and asked:

"Why are you dressed like this?"

Zhou Ziyu, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat, had changed from the pure and lovely appearance in the past and the comfortable style she was used to wearing in private. Her outfit at this time was very different from usual.

The big chestnut curly hair was all neatly tied to the right side of her cheek with a thin band, revealing the delicate ear on the left, and also letting the crystal hoop earring hanging on the earlobe be completely exposed, shaking gently, shining.

Under the baseball cap on her head was a pair of shining big eyes, delicate black eyeliner, bright red on the lips, and a blue denim jacket that was specially made old and had white edges was lined with a very tight and deliberately waist-revealing light-colored short-sleeved shirt.

The most attractive thing is the pair of legs between her denim shorts and the Martin boots on her feet... At this time, they are covered with a pair of unique, deep matte black stockings.

The surface of the stockings has special circular patterns, which wrap the pair of powerful and plump little round legs. Between the touch of flesh, the delicate and mysterious outlines of fascinating lines.

At this time, Zhou Ziyu has changed her previous pure and ignorant image, and is also very different from the black girl in Chi Jingyuan's memory... At this time, a cute, hot, sexy, and charming sweet girl appeared in front of him.

"Hehe~"

Facing Chi Jingyuan's questioning, Zhou Ziyu didn't care at all. With dimples and small tiger teeth, she looked at Chi Jingyuan with a smile, tilted her head and asked sweetly:

"Is it good-looking?"
