Peninsula Asteroid

During this time, Ji Jingyuan and SM were busy filming the MV in LA. Through phone calls and video conferences, almost all the details of this solo album have been discussed, including the album name, cover, and version. , publicity plans, etc.

After returning to Seoul from LA in the morning, he made some adjustments and went directly to the company for a meeting. The final pre-sale opening and specific song release time were also determined.

"As for February 10th, we were wrong for more than half a month, so it shouldn't have any impact..."

Originally, I was a little worried that everyone would meet him in February, but Kim Taeyeon is very aware of the explosive popularity of Ji Kyung Won's solo debut, and as someone from the same company, she also heard that the company invested in this album. How many resources, although her regular one was carefully made with most of the resources and efforts... But if she met Chi Jingyuan head-on, she really didn't think she would be too competitive.

But when she heard that it was wrong for more than half a month, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief and patted her flat chest: "Although you don't have to think about it, your solo will definitely be very popular, but it's impossible to do it after almost twenty days." Let’s dominate the list…”

"..." Chi Jingyuan smiled and said nothing. The first day or even the first week when an idol releases a song is usually the most popular. Most of the sales of the entire album are also concentrated on these two days, although there may be more sales later due to the release of the song. It has led to a revival, but no one can say for sure the effect. Phenomenal songs like last year's "Cheer Up" are too rare.

But, who can say for sure...

After relaxing a lot, Kim Taeyeon rolled her eyes and immediately became interested again: "By the way, you just listened to my song. I haven't listened to the songs on your album yet. I heard Producer Li say about the quality of your songs before. They are all very high, especially the title song, which is an instant hit. Is it true? Let me see, there are still cameras set up over there. It will probably be a while. You must have a sound source on your phone, right? "

"Okay."

It just happened that it was okay at this moment. Chi Jingyuan responded directly without refusing. He took out his phone and adjusted it twice. He didn't bother to dig through his bag to find the earphones. He just unplugged Kim Taeyeon's earphones and plugged them in without waiting for him to hand them over. In the past, this sister grabbed an earphone and put it into her ear, and then looked at him with great anticipation, urging him to "hurry up, hurry up", just like a kindergarten child who is anxious for the teacher to make lunch.

Chi Jingyuan glanced at her speechlessly, pressed the screen, and the studio version of the title song "Love Scenario" began to play, with almost no prelude. His clear voice was accompanied by a brisk piano accompaniment, with a very pleasant and relaxing melody. Just like that it rang.

"We once loved each other, when we met~"

As soon as she heard the beginning, Kim Taeyeon's expression suddenly changed. She raised her eyebrows as if she was quite surprised by the beginning and the sweetness of the introduction. Her slightly artificial expression immediately disappeared.

Her legs started to sway as she listened, and she even started humming along during the second chorus...

"Your title song...Producer Li is really right. It's really a song that becomes popular as soon as you hear it."

After listening to it for the first time, she did not ask her to change the song. Instead, she took off her earphones with a surprised expression. Even with her discerning ability, she felt that this song was special after listening to it for the first time.

I didn’t look at the makeup photos, I didn’t watch the MV, I didn’t have any choreography, and I didn’t know the concept. It is a very rare thing in Kpop, the kind of ‘good’ song that has no other bells and whistles and feels very intuitive as soon as you listen to it.

She looked at Chi Jingyuan with extremely strange eyes.

No wonder she heard several producers she knew say from time to time that Chi Jingyuan's album was of high quality and would definitely become a hit. She thought it was a bit exaggerated before, but now after listening to it, she even vaguely felt that the two of them had made half a mistake in releasing the song. Is the month a little less?

Is there any mistake? For such a good song, even if it is from a royal company, it is too biased.

Oh, he wrote it himself...that's okay.

but……

"And your lyrics...do you have lyrics?" She clicked her tongue.

After hearing this, Chi Jingyuan jumped out of the lyrics and handed the phone to Kim Taeyeon. After getting the lyrics, the girl read it carefully from top to bottom, and then her expression became wonderful.

"'Ever loved'?... Is this song about your ex-girlfriend?" The surprise just now gradually faded away, and Kim Taeyeon's expression became even weirder: "Could this song... be about Irene?"

It felt a little weird when she listened to it just now, but the style of this song was really relaxed. She didn't think about it in that direction. Now after reading the lyrics, she realized that the lyrics actually described past relationships and were about her ex-girlfriend.

And the lyrics are really brilliant. With her understanding of Chi Jingyuan,

"Nuna, you said it was written about your ex-girlfriend. It definitely does not belong to Irene alone. Moreover, the lyrics do not represent real emotions. They must be artistically processed."

Chi Jingyuan leaned on the sofa and replied lazily, with an unconcerned look on his face.

But just after he finished speaking, he seemed to think of something again. The memories of the night they broke up last year suddenly came to his mind for some reason. He paused for a moment and added in a slightly changed tone: "However, the inspiration for this song... is indeed From her."

After finishing her words, Kim Taeyeon's eyes changed slightly as she looked at Chi Jingyuan.

Although Chi Jingyuan said it easily, Kim Taeyeon felt the complexity hidden in it... In addition, after listening to this song and hearing Chi Jingyuan say this, her most intuitive thought at this time But it is:

This younger brother's charm in both men and women is really great.

My own personal conditions have improved to an insurmountable level, but it can still bring extremely strong emotional value to the girl, and even some memorable experiences and memories can be written into the song... Which girl has watched this? Not confused.

As far as she knew, the song "Let It Be" was the song that made Pei Zhuhyun and Chi Jingyuan fall in love, and now there is this song "Loved"...

When she saw the lyrics of this song, she could not help but recall the sweet scene where Chi Kyung-won and Bae Joo-hyun showed off their affection in front of her.

Then listen to this song "Loved" again...

She once read a sentence describing a scumbag in a magazine: "Even if he won't hang out with one person, even if he will give love to many people... I am still willing to be one of them."

Looking at her at the time, I thought it was quite funny, but now I suddenly thought of this sentence with great joy.

Maybe...Chi Jingyuan is such a person.

After a few seconds, she waved her hand, which seemed to dispel the subtle feeling in her heart. Then she looked contemptuous and frightened, and said with a grin: "You are such a terrible person. You are still embarrassed after breaking up." Ansheng, I still make people think about you every day.”

"Is it that exaggerated?" Chi Jingyuan tilted his head, not quite believing it.

"Do you know how Irene would feel if she heard this song, saw these lyrics, and knew that these were all written because of her?"

Kim Taeyeon gritted her teeth and stared at Chi Jingyuan. She already knew Bae Zhuhyun very well. She could probably guess the sister's feelings and mood after hearing it without thinking. At this time, seeing Chi Jingyuan's appearance, she felt angry. .

"Anyway, if it were me... forget it, I have nothing to say to a player like you."

She tried to take it in, but as soon as she fantasized about it, she felt like her mood was going to explode. The entanglement, happiness, grievance, anger... she quickly shook her head, not daring to take it in.

"If no one specifically reminds me, who will listen to the song and look at the lyrics? Can you tell what you wrote in "GEE" and what the lyricist wanted to express?"

After a few experienced retorts, Chi Jingyuan waved his hand: "How could she know this? I will definitely not tell her..."

"Hmph, let's see when the time comes. You're still dating that kid from Twice, right? Be careful to burn the fire on yourself..." Kim Taeyeon cursed viciously, and then temporarily turned over the song, Then I listened to other songs.

This sister seems to really like the songs on Chi Jingyuan's album. She praises them while listening to them. Judging from her expression, she wants to snatch some of Chi Jingyuan's songs away and put them in her own album.

Twenty minutes passed in the blink of an eye, and just as the two were chatting with interest, the PD next to them came over to remind them that they were ready to start shooting, and they quickly cleaned up.

The filming of a personal variety show is actually very simple. It is just two people drinking coffee and chatting, telling some stories about how they got along, some interesting things from the past and private life, or small gossip about other close friends. They don’t even have a specific script purely based on them. Use it yourself... However, the audience for personal variety shows is generally Chi Jingyuan's only fans, and fans like to watch these things.

Chi Jingyuan's variety show skills are actually very average. When he first debuted and frequently appeared on variety shows, he was always on the sidelines in EXO. If the MC hadn't known that he was very popular and often CUE'ed him, he would have been nothing.

But Kim Taeyeon is different. She used to be famous for her strong sense of variety shows. She is very good at pretending to be crazy, silly, cute and cute. She also created a "tickling character" and "aunt's smile", which are highly praised by fans. Ledao is a lifelong label that has been with her to this day. Although she has gradually matured because she has been out for a long time, and she no longer has to deliberately sell out like she did in the first few years of her debut, her variety show literacy is still there...

And although her character is quiet, she actually has a bit of a convulsive streak, which is not a personality... So she acted very relaxed and proactive during the shooting, even more natural than Chi Jingyuan.

After filming the main part, there was an interview part. The PD handed over a small bucket full of questions, and Kim Taeyeon picked a few answers from the middle... and answered them in front of Ji Jingyuan.

‘Taeyeon xi, what kind of person do you think Jingyuan xi is? ’

"This question..."

Seeing the question in her hand, Kim Taeyeon rolled her eyes very smartly, then suppressed a smile and stared at Chi Jingyuan solemnly. Chi Jingyuan felt a little embarrassed when she looked at her, so she forced herself to keep smiling. Make eye contact with her.

"I won't talk about what everyone knows... In my opinion, Jingyuan is a very lazy person."

His dark eyes stared at Chi Jingyuan's face for a long time before Kim Taeyeon coughed lightly and began to evaluate very strictly: "He's really lazy. Usually, if you ask him to come out to a friend's party or drink coffee, he won't do anything like that. Ignore you, I would rather sleep at home and play games alone. Sometimes I am even more of a homebody than me. I can’t even call him out..."

"But..." Of course an experienced person like Kim Taeyeon knew this, so she took the opportunity to complain for a long time. After a long time, she suddenly changed the subject, glanced at Chi Jingyuan, and said seriously: "If we really meet Whatever the matter, you call him and he is faster than anyone else... He is really a very loyal and kind family friend..."

"Once upon a time..."

…………

After the official work was over, the crew of the filming crew packed up and prepared to leave, but Chi Kyung-won and Kim Taeyeon hadn't left yet. The two people who hadn't seen each other for a while were quite chatting. They bought a drink and sat there for a while. .

"I just remembered that for your title song's MV, you found a female trainee from the company to be the heroine, right?"

Kim Taeyeon suddenly remembered something while taking a sip of coffee. She got interested and moved closer: "I heard that that kid has become a star among the trainees now... How about it? Does it look good?"

"Didn't you see it after the MV came out, Nuna... Well, it's okay."

Chi Jingyuan originally wanted to say a few perfunctory words, but in a flash, Liu Zhimin's appearance that day appeared in front of his eyes. After a short pause, he still praised him without any intention.

"It's okay? It's just okay, can you like it? I don't believe it... there must be something special~" Kim Taeyeon sneered and curled her lips knowing Chi Jingyuan very well.

It must be a little bit... special than you.

I uttered a few words of conditioned reflex in my heart...

"Even if there is something special about me, if I'm not still a trainee, I might not be able to debut by then..."

Thinking of the declaration that the girl shouted in front of him two days ago, Chi Jingyuan thought about it, laughed twice, changed his words, and asked tentatively: "That kid really hopes to make a debut... But now the company should No chance?"

Should I say it or not... After just a few days of getting along, especially the close contact on the last day and the unforgettable declaration under the moon at the end, Liu Zhimin, who was originally just a passer-by in Chi Jingyuan's heart, should be forgotten after the cooperation. The little girl has successfully left her own mark.

The last trainee who Chi Jingyuan cared about about his debut... was Zhou Ziyu.

"Red Velvet has only been out for three years now, and its momentum is pretty good. In recent years, the company probably has no plans for a girl group. A new girl group will have to wait at least a few years. How do we know now?"

Kim Taeyeon glanced at him lightly, as if she felt something, but she didn't ask any more questions. She knew that Chi Jingyuan had only been preparing for his debut for more than a month and had never been a serious trainee. She probably didn't know very well. So I introduced it very understandingly:

"But that's not necessarily the case. Although it's still early to officially debut, if there is a new girl group planned, the selection of members will start very early. Our Girls' Generation selection of members started several years in advance, and the debut song also started very early. Practiced.”

"What's that trainee's name?"

"Well, Jimin...Ryu Jimin"

"It's such a popular name, it sounds ordinary..."

As if she was a little dissatisfied, Kim Taeyeon casually complained: "Then if the child shoots your MV, it is a very good opportunity. If the company is not optimistic about it, it will not let her participate in the audition. Being able to participate means that she has The idea of ​​letting her debut... If the response and exposure of the MV are good, and the personal conditions are good, she should be able to book a debut spot. "

"Yes..." Chi Jingyuan nodded after hearing this. He was still very confident about the exposure of his MV.

"But it's not necessarily true. Our company is not like other small companies. In fact, SM doesn't really like trainees to have a lot of exposure before their debut. In order to facilitate management, they specifically prohibit trainees from using SNS. Except for children of rookies, everyone else It is planned to be exposed before debut...

So I can't say for sure... is it a good thing or a bad thing that Jiminxi filmed a MV? It's hard to say whether she can debut, but she will definitely be jealous of a lot of people among the trainees, and she might even be ostracized. "

After another serious explanation, the girl seemed to have remembered something, and she twitched her lips and became angry: "And even if you have reserved a debut spot, after working hard for several years, you will be able to debut soon, who knows? Suddenly, a royal family flew in to take her place."

"Things like 'the company is optimistic about it' and 'conceptual core' are of no use when faced with a royal background... Jingyuan, you should know it very clearly, right?"

Faced with such straightforward ridicule, Chi Jingyuan blinked innocently: "How do I know? Nu, what are you talking about?"

"Cut~"

She despised his shamelessness in her heart. She took a sip of coffee and looked at Chi Jingyuan and raised an eyebrow: "What do you think of this script... Then the kid worked hard for so long to prepare for his debut and then suddenly he was replaced. When he was desperate, you, a senior who he had worked with before, took action and helped him regain his position. His heart was immediately filled with shock, and he has been devoted to you since then. Gee, it feels so romantic to think about it. "

She took a sip of coffee, looked at Chi Jingyuan and winked, and talked enthusiastically,

"What a coincidence..."

Chi Jingyuan couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "And such a vulgar script... Yoona will not accept it."

"Now you Hei Yun'er is not pretending at all. I don't know how the relationship between you two is getting better and better..."

Shaking her head in disbelief, Kim Taeyeon shrugged: "But if it's you... if you want to promote a trainee, it's just a matter of calling Teacher Lee Soo Man...

As she said that, she shot her contemptuous eyes over again: "Why, you have another idea?"

Chi Jingyuan bit the straw and laughed:

"Who knows~"

…………

As the New Year was approaching, the two of them had a lot of things to do. After sitting in the cafe for half an hour, they were ready to leave. However, after getting up and walking a few steps, Kim Taeyeon suddenly thought of something and said:

"By the way, there is another important matter that we haven't reached an agreement with the company yet... But when the time comes, we may need Jingyuan to help with some ideas."

"Oh? What's the matter?"

Chi Jingyuan looked over curiously.

"It's about our Girls' Generation's tenth anniversary album. "
