Peninsula Asteroid

Chi Jingyuan took the ci score and began to browse carefully from the beginning.

Li Zhien sent the lyrics of the song "Leon" to them a few days ago when the song was finished. He has already read it and basically memorized it, but he has not yet assigned a part.

Chi Jingyuan thinks that this song by IU is really good. The theme and lyrics are based on the classic movie "This Killer Is Not So Cold" as a reference, and the overall style of the song has changed from the small and fresh style that IU most often showed in the past. The jazzy tone has an unnatural allure.

Chi Jingyuan looked at the title of the song at the top of the score and paused for two seconds, feeling a little emotional in his heart.

She is indeed very powerful, and she is worthy of being called the strongest female solo artist by many fans. Although there are many fans' rainbow farts and idol filters, at least they have ideas and strength in song creation. It's no wonder that they can get out of the unfavorable situation in the past two years, and they are developing better and better. up.

Then look down, each line of the lyrics is marked with who sang it. At a glance, most of the parts are basically IU's. The chorus part is estimated to be less than two-fifths of all the lyrics.

In other words, in this song, he almost played the roles of Oh Sehun and Yoona seniors.

But Chi Jingyuan has no opinion on this.

Because they had actually communicated with each other in private before, the two songs of their group were written and led by Chi Jingyuan and Li Zhien respectively, and the performance of the two songs naturally focused on these two people respectively. "Ryan" takes Li Zhien as the core, and "Roof House" takes Chi Jingyuan as the core.

And they all know that, relying on the extremely high popularity of "Infinite Challenge Song Festival", as long as the songs performed on the song festival will definitely attract widespread attention and even sweep the entire music source rankings. In this way, this time the lineup is stronger and more popular, and it will only be more successful, so these two songs have basically been booked as 'hot songs', with great potential.

Although we are talking about a group collaboration song to sing together, the copyright of the song has nothing to do with the group at all, but is in the hands of Li Zhien and Chi Jingyuan respectively. It's over, after the show ends and the group disbands, they will definitely perform this song frequently in commercial performances and even concerts, so the degree of care for each other is different.

So in "Ryan", it is only natural that Li Zhien takes most of the paries.

The same is true for Chi Jingyuan in "The Roof House".

As for Zheng Hengdon, as an MC himself, he is to complete this show. He has no special pursuit of music, nor has he participated in the creation, so naturally he has no opinion.

"fine."

"Let's divide it up like this."

Chi Jingyuan and Zheng Hengdon didn't hesitate after reading it. They both nodded to express that they had no opinion, while IU smiled a bit, and the smile seemed a little embarrassed.

"...In addition to the singing, this song focuses on the dance moves and the interaction between us. We have already done the choreography and designed a general performance flow. I will show it to you later, Oppa And Jingyuan, do you have any suggestions for the stage effect?" When it came to work, although Li Zhien looked a little childish and kept smiling, his style suddenly became confident and decisive.

"I think you, IU xi, will be the first to appear on the stage, and then take the elevator to Brother Hengdun to quickly enter the stage..." Chi Jingyuan thought for a while, and made a suggestion casually, but he hesitated after he finished speaking: "However, the public performance There should be a lift in the field over there, right?"

"Yes, right?" Li Zhien was also a little uncertain, blinking at Zheng Hengdun.

"Yes, I specifically asked the program team, there must be something about it." Zheng Hengdun quickly waved his hand to reassure them: "Isn't there going to be a recording tomorrow? The content of that day is to decide the order of performances and the right to use the stage effects."

"That's fine...we will make a quick appearance of the elevator at that time, which can highlight the key points and bring some surprises to the audience..." Chi Jingyuan nodded, and then suggested: "Then since we are based on "This Killer Doesn't "Too Cold" as the theme, so it's natural to play the characters, right? To imitate the makeup and clothes to a certain extent..."

Several people seriously discussed the content of the performance of "Leon" for a while, and then began to talk about "Roof House".

The part of "Roof Tower Room" had already been divided by Chi Jingyuan before, and a notification email was sent to them, and they confirmed that there were no problems or opinions.

Similar to "Leon", in "Roof Tower", it is Chi Jingyuan's turn to occupy most of the part

"The band naturally has to divide responsibilities, but if there are three people, it's a little less..." Chi Jingyuan looked around at the two people in front of him, and then looked at IU: "Then there is a lead singer, a drummer, and a ..."

"Guitar!" IU smiled and raised her hand: "Or an electric guitar."

"OK, then the guitar."

The music girl is naturally a guitar, Chi Jingyuan made an OK gesture, and then looked at Zheng Hengdun: "Brother, can you play drums?"

"Well, I can do a little bit, but..." Zheng Hengdun showed embarrassment.

"You don't need to be too specialized. Remember to play with the rhythm. As long as you want that sense of devotion, that kind of feeling that makes others think you're good at playing, brother, you understand?" Seeing his expression, Chi Jingyuan said, He waved his hands to indicate that he didn't need to be too professional, and then gestured with his hands continuously, trying to describe that feeling.

Zheng Hengdun knew what it meant at a glance, and couldn't help laughing: "That's no problem, I know this best."

"OK, that's the decision. I'm the lead singer, IU Xi is the guitarist, and Heng Dun is the drummer... Actually, I really want to be a drummer..."

Chi Jingyuan glanced at Zheng Hengdun with a little envy. He is also good at playing drums but not proficient, but he has always thought that playing drums is very handsome, but he has never had the opportunity to perform on stage. It was the first time for him to perform in a band.

"For the band, there are no positioning and stage effects, mainly the performance process. My idea is the main chorus of the first lyrical version, the voice of the accompaniment is a little softer, first sit on a stool and sing, and then enter the second verse Raise the key suddenly, stand up again when the tempo picks up, and set off some fireworks at that time, brother, there should be fireworks, right?"

"Well, there should be."

"OK, let's set off the fireworks to set off the atmosphere, and after this period, we all behave a little more enthusiastically and brightly... I have two ideas about the costumes, one is to wear casual hip-hop ones, and the overall performance reflects a certain One is the style of a campus band, the other is a casual suit, and a more formal outfit is used to contrast the brightness of the song..."

When Chi Jingyuan came here, he became more talkative. After he finished this song, he also conceived a relatively complete stage performance process, which has been generally thought of, but there are still some details that have not been determined.

Li Zhien and Zheng Hengdon also put forward a lot of opinions, which can be regarded as some beneficial supplements.

Chi Jingyuan felt that the quality of the two songs of their group "Leon" and "Roof Tower Room" was really high, because he hadn't heard the songs of other groups, and he didn't know which group wrote better songs. , but compared with the songs in the past few music circles, he really thinks that he is a lot ahead.

And if you compare these two songs...

He still prefers Roof House.

After the discussion, the formal practice began. Following LOEN's dance teacher who had already prepared, the three of them began to learn the choreography of the song "Leon".

Chi Jingyuan was born in an idol, and he usually dances the most complicated and intense boy group dances. This level of choreography is not difficult for him. He probably has watched it twice and followed it a few times before he has almost mastered it.

It was busy until noon, and the three of them who had just finished the process with the backup dancers wiped the sweat from their foreheads, sat next to the small coffee table on the far left side of the practice room and entered lunch time, and began to eat the takeaway that IU's manager had just bought. .

And the VJ filmed by the "Infinite Challenge" program group has been carrying the camera, faithfully recording by the side.

To be honest, although there is a VJ filming today, Chi Jingyuan felt that after practicing all morning, the three of them did not have the sense of business as a dedicated program.

"Well, Jing Yuan's words should be fine, right?" IU took a spoon and stirred the bibimbap in front of her, swallowed what was in her mouth and talked about the practice just now: "For Hengdun Oppa, this dance is very important to you. It shouldn't be too slow...I also participated in the choreography of this song, and I didn't make some complicated movements and positions."

"Well, it's okay...I will try my best."

Zheng Hengdon didn't say it was difficult, nor did he say it wasn't difficult, he just expressed his attitude.

"Pfft..." Chi Jingyuan, who was eating, couldn't help but laugh when he saw his indomitable expression.

"...By the way, when I got the lyrics a few days ago, I wanted to say that the lyrics of Jing Yuan's "Roof Tower" are really well written." Playing with a spoon, she didn't eat much, when she suddenly remembered something, her eyes lit up, and she looked at Chi Jingyuan, who was eating next to her.

"Well, I also think that the writing is indeed very good and very poetic. You can think of the picture when you see it." Hearing this, Zheng Hengdun also stopped his chopsticks, nodded in agreement, and gave a thumbs up with his right hand: "Jing Yuan's strength in writing lyrics is really Zzang!"

"Especially the line 'You said you want to see the stars and hold my hand, the moonlight shines in my eyes all of a sudden, but there is no star in the sky'." Li Zhien seems to really like these lines of lyrics, a little curious Looking at Chi Jingyuan: "Reading it gives people a poignant and romantic feeling. The picture is really beautiful. Is the word Jing Yuanxi from a TV series? I'll go and see."

"Yes." Chi Jingyuan nodded with a smile, "It's in "The Producer"."

"Ahahaha..." Li Zhien burst out laughing upon hearing this.

"The Producer" is a KBS gilt-soil drama starring Li Zhien this year, with Kim Soo Hyun, Cha Tae Hyun and Kong Hyo Jin as partners. Once broadcast, it was widely welcomed by young people, and the response was very good.

This is also the first time that Li Zhien has appeared in a TV series after "Pretty Man" in 2013. He did not expect to be successful all of a sudden, and to a large extent wiped away the black history of the previous failure.

As soon as she heard it, she knew that Chi Jingyuan was joking and teasing her, and she also held it secretly in front of the camera, put down her chopsticks and wiped her mouth, Li Zhien glanced at Chi Jingyuan with a smile in her eyes: "I'm asking the truth." !"

"Really..."

Chi Jingyuan's chewing speed couldn't help slowing down a bit, as if he thought of this line of lyrics, or the source of inspiration for this song.

I can't help but see the image of the two driving outside because of Zhou Ziyu's stress and bad mood that night, and the conversation when I finally stopped to look at the stars.

"Why are there no stars tonight?"

"It's hard to see the stars in urban areas."

"Have you watched too many TV shows? Do you want to find a roof tower room where you can sit and watch the moon?"

"Go and go!"

The song "Roof Tower Room" was inspired by this experience, or the dialogue. Li Zhien's favorite two lines of lyrics almost directly describe the situation at that time.

Looking back now, the picture at that time is still quite clear.

However, although the inspiration for the whole song comes from this, and this sentence is indeed their conversation at that time, most of the other lyrics of the song, some relatively straightforward words and sentences, are all artistically processed by Chi Jingyuan himself What was created has nothing to do with Zhou Ziyu.

It's just that this girl won't misunderstand anything after seeing it...

Suddenly, Chi Jingyuan's thoughts diverged, and he was stunned for two seconds before he came back to his senses. Facing Li Zhien who was still looking at him, he shook his head: "Ani, it's not a TV series, it's..."

Speaking of this, Chi Jingyuan paused for a moment, and then burst out laughing: "I just thought of it casually."

"So it's not a TV show...but it's really romantic."

"Hehe, maybe it is."

...

In the past two days, except for the team schedule that EXO cannot be absent from, Chi Jingyuan has put all his energy on the two songs of the Song Festival. In addition to practicing singing and dancing in private, he also goes to LOEN every day I practiced with Lee Ji Eun, Jung Hyung Don and backup dancers, and tried recording at the same time.

Recording is very important. After the final performance of "Gayo Festival" is broadcast on TV, all the songs performed by each group will also be released. According to previous experience, there is a high probability that these songs will be broadcast directly if there are no accidents. Sweeping the entire music rankings, no matter how watery or perfunctory the songs are, the effect of the nationality of "Infinite Challenge Song Festival" and the itinerary of popular guests is so terrifying.

And this sound source is the recording they are making now, so it must be taken seriously.

Not only Chi Jingyuan is very attentive and hardworking, but also the other two people in the group. Zheng Hengdun also has a lot of announcements every day, and he can imagine how busy Li Zhien is. Even so, the three of them still took a lot of time to conduct Practicing and recording, sometimes I will be busy until late at night before leaving work. Everyone is very serious and focused on doing it. I didn’t regard this cooperation and these two songs as a casual play. It's just a variety show.

This feeling of working together for a goal is actually quite good.

And speaking of it, Chi Jingyuan gained two more good friends through this cooperation.

...

On July 29th, when Chi Jingyuan was still practicing with the other two on the stage, there was also a big news in the music industry, that is, EXO's title song "boy with luv" was officially released from the billboard single in June Top 100 is off the list.

From its record-setting debut on the 10th of last month to its dismounting on the 29th of this month, "boy with luv" was on the list for seven weeks, reaching the 19th place in the TOP100.

After reaching the highest ranking, it fell all the way until the list was updated this week and officially dropped off the list.

Although "boy with luv" obviously lacked stamina in Ami, and fell down the charts very quickly in the next two weeks, the achievements of this song have still created countless records in the KPOP circle.

An idol group debuted on the list.

Idol group highest ranking.

The idol group has the highest number of weeks on the list.

Idol group...

The records listed one by one by fans and the media incomparably demonstrate EXO’s historic feats, each of which is an achievement that none of the men’s and women’s groups in the peninsula music industry has achieved.

Although because of the existence of PSY and "Gangnam Style", all these records have the qualifier "idol group" in front of them, but even if these things are removed, the results of "boy with luv" this time are still enough to make many people daunting up.

Whether it's SM, EXO itself, fans Ari, or even the citizens of the peninsula, they are all satisfied and surprised by this beyond expectations.

The original 'EXO song hit the B list', the big news last month, has gone through so many days, but there is actually no heat. After all, everyone has their own life. Recently, many groups have returned every day. Everyone's attention All are limited.

However, as "Boy with Luv" dropped from the chart, media reports once again drew the attention of many people. Only then did many fans and listeners react, and they couldn't help but have various mysteries in their hearts. It turned out that EXO had just dropped from the chart. ? I thought they were off early. They have been on the list for such a long time, they are really awesome...' and other thoughts, and at the same time, I naturally looked at this different boy group in a different light.

As a news item on Naver’s homepage today said:

"In Ami, the birthplace of mass entertainment culture, audiences don't actually like movies with subtitles or foreign language music. But despite this, the Korean song "Boy with Luv" has overcome this barrier through its own charm and characteristics. Created by EXO The new history is in the present continuous tense.”

…

With Chi Jingyuan's hard work and activities, as well as the disturbances from the outside world, time turned and it was at the end of July.
