Peninsula Asteroid

"You guys are really slack!"

"Do you just want to rest after suffering a small injury? Do you want to rest after such a slight injury? Did you take your debut to heart?"

In the evening, on the left floor of JYP, just moved in for a month, in the practice room that has been marked as 'TWICE', the head manager and the dance teacher in charge of teaching are angrily reprimanding the nine girls in front of them, In this brightly lit room, only continuous and severe criticism could be heard at this time, and the faint sounds of breathing and sniffling made the surrounding atmosphere even more dignified.

Nine people from Twice stood in a row with their heads bowed and were being criticized, and the instigator of today's incident was standing in the middle at this time, and he was also the manager's office chief who targeted the most fierce member, Lim Nayeon.

The reason is that she knocked her leg during dance practice these two days, resulting in a little bruise, and it hurt a little while dancing, and then she secretly complained a few words when she was chatting with Yu Dingyan just now, but unexpectedly, she was caught by the manager who just walked in I heard it, and the progress of their study and preparation of the album has been a little unsatisfactory in the past few days, which makes people a little dissatisfied, so after hearing such 'rebellious' and unprofessional small words, the manager has a backlog His anger immediately took off and he broke out.

In fact, Lin Nayeon is quite innocent. It is very common to complain about the company and other people in private with good friends. Basically, everyone will do it. She actually said it as a joke. I didn't even think about taking a few days off, and no one would be stupid enough to say that in front of an agent or manager.

It's a pity that I was really a bit confused, and just happened to be heard by the manager.

In fact, it’s just a few complaints, and it’s fine if the manager almost stares at her when they hear it, but unfortunately, the progress of their album preparation has been a bit unsatisfactory in the past two days, so they took advantage of the situation to teach them a few lessons. A girl who got 'a little bit of a drift' after she got a chance to debut.

"I found that you guys are really slack."

The head of the room looked very angry, and stared at the nine people standing in a row, scanning from left to right, and repeated what he said just now, emphasizing: "I worked so hard in "sixteen" before, and the practice room rushed to use it. , I didn’t go back to rest in the middle of the night, even though I was still practicing dance in the dormitory, I never complained of being tired after working so hard..."

His gaze finally stayed on Lin Nayeon's face: "What about now?"

The nine members of Twice all hung their heads, not daring to say a word of rebuttal.

Some pursed their lips as if they were reflecting, and some pouted their mouths in aggrieved feeling that this unwarranted disaster came a bit suddenly.

Some were sniffling, with their hands behind their backs, as if they were in a daze; others had sparkling eyes, their hands were entangled in front of them, and their rabbit teeth were not daring to show, their mouths were puckered into a ball, and they looked trapped It was very sad to scold.

Low air pressure surrounds the surroundings, and it is obvious that the manager's words are indeed a bit hurtful.

But it’s slack, but it’s not that much. They have really worked hard recently. In order to make their debut, all kinds of studies, courses, dance practice, and song practice are all full. Some members still need to go to school every day, and Learning Korean can be said to be very busy and exhausting every day.

During "sixteen", of course, I had to work harder, after all, it was related to whether I could debut or not, which determined my personal destiny. At that time, everyone could no longer use hard work to describe it, it could already be said to be desperate.

Now that I have got my debut spot, although I am still working hard, it is not as crazy as before. After all, human inertia exists, and of course it is impossible to maintain that desperate state.

"The problem with the recording these days is too big, you know how the progress is..." After a few curses, the anger in the manager's heart subsided a lot, and his tone slowed down a bit, and he began to reason: "The company specializes in The production of the program "sixteen" and the selection of nine of you are of course not just for your debut, the company has invested so much resources, and has great ambitions for you on many levels."

"Besides, you have experienced so many things and put in so much effort. Is it just for the sake of debuting casually and becoming an unpopular girl group in the second and third tiers? Are you satisfied, Nayeon?"

He specifically named Lin Nayeon.

"…no."

Eyes and nose were red, and Lin Nayen, who seemed aggrieved, sniffed her nose and muttered in a weak voice.

The braids were tied, the bangs drooped messily on both sides of the forehead, and the pores under the fair skin were clearly visible, but it was a pity that the vitality of the past had long since disappeared, and she looked like a kicked rabbit.

She really felt aggrieved, she had just casually chatted with Dingyan during the break just now, who would have thought that the agent would come in the next second.

And it wasn't for no reason that she joked that she wanted to take a few days off, because she didn't know who just mentioned it at the time...

"No? Don't you have to show your attitude! And even if you become a big trend after your debut, you definitely can't be so slack."

The manager glanced at Lin Nayeon, and couldn't say anything about her, but turned to look at other people: "You've seen the news a few days ago, even if it's Huo Cheng EXO Huo Cheng Chi Jingyuan, in the There were accidents and mistakes on the stage, and I was injured, but I still managed to finish the dance."

Speaking of this, a few children in front of him raised their heads slightly, but he paused for a moment, and then said: "We are all insiders, and I have relatives in SM, so I know some inside information, and I will Chi Jingyuan’s current status and influence in SM and XO, he can stop the performance directly after an accident and know that he is injured, but he didn’t do that after he found out the problem, he insisted on completing the stage, and was supported by the members in the end It ended up being sent directly to the hospital."

When it comes to this topic, several people are very interested, among them Zhou Ziyu and Mingjing Nan are also one of them. When the news came out late last month, Zhou Ziyu's heart skipped a beat when he saw it, and he was very anxious Concerned, he specially sent a text message to ask if Chi Jingyuan was okay, but the other party said 'no big deal', and after chatting casually for a few words, there was no reply.

The same is true of Mingjing Nan. Now she is busy preparing for her debut, and she and Chi Jingyuan only occasionally send text messages. This time, they are also very concerned, but the replies they get are similar to those of Zhou Ziyu.

And the manager seemed to praise Chi Jingyuan's behavior some time ago, and used him to teach these young girls who hadn't debuted in an appreciative tone: "This is called idol! What combination is XO? Chi Jing What kind of popularity is Yuan Yuan? After dancing five songs in a row with injuries, this is the only person who can persevere. When it comes to you, it’s just a bit of a skinny. He didn’t even make his debut. Now he’s so delicate, can he still have it in the future?”

"Nayeon?" As he spoke, he couldn't help but click Lin Nayeon's name again.

"Mi a na da."

Lin Nayen pursed her lips and apologized pitifully.

But I don't know what's on my mind.

"never mind……"

The manager scolded and scolded, and got angry. Based on his understanding of this group of children, it must be effective, and he will definitely work harder in preparation for his debut.

And seeing these girls like this, he didn't bother to say any more. He restrained his facial expressions, slowed down his voice, and gave a sweet date:

"I also know that you are all working very hard now, and you are very busy every day... let's talk about something happy, because Park Zhenying PD nim participated in this year's "Infinite Challenge Song Festival". When the official performance is held in a few days, he decided to bring You go to watch the performance live, PD nim has already communicated with the program team, and when he performs that day, the program team will specially show you some shots in the auditorium, which will not be removed during post-editing, so that It's like using "Gayo Festival" to show your face before your debut, to cause a little topic to keep the heat..."

"!" Hearing the agent's tone slow down, all the girls breathed a sigh of relief, and then heard the news again, several of them couldn't help raising their heads, their eyes lit up.

"Have you seen "Gayo Festival"? You should know how popular it is, right?" Speaking of good things, the manager also showed a little smile.

"I know, it's really hot on the Internet, and many people are discussing it."

"I haven't seen it, I don't have much time recently..."

Seeing that the storm had passed, except for Lin Nayeon who was still in a gloomy mood, the others tentatively answered.

"This is the most popular variety show right now... If you haven't watched it, remember to go back and make up for it. It doesn't matter to others, but at least watch the clips of PD nim."

"At that time, you can feel the atmosphere of the scene. It can be regarded as making some preparations for your future debut. After the end, you may have the opportunity to visit the senior guests who participated... But you may not go, after all, everyone is very busy. I haven't debuted yet, let's see how PDnim arranges it."

Controlling the atmosphere with ease, at the end, the manager clapped his hands: "Okay, although the progress is a bit slow and we need to hurry up, but the last few days are really tiring, and watching the performance at that time can be regarded as a vacation. Take a break."

"Go ahead and practice."

"Neither, Kang Sang Mita.

…………

After a day of practice and recording, Zhou Ziyu returned to the dormitory with the eight O'Neills he composed.

"Why are you throwing your clothes all over again, can you clean them up? Also, you threw all your socks on my pillow, it stinks!"

She had finished washing before, and now she took off the mask, washed her face again, and walked out of the bathroom. Just as she walked into the living room, she heard Yu Dingyan's helpless and somewhat angry roar from the room next to the opened door , and at the same time, it was mixed with the sound of clothes being smashed and the cabinet being opened. It sounds like this sister is the same as before, and although she is complaining, her hands are also helping to clean up.

As for the object of her complaint, Zhou Ziyu knew without guessing.

"Ahhhhhh..."

Sure enough, Lin Nayen's voice sounded right after her. She seemed to be stretched out on the bed, shouted hysterically twice, and then murmured to Yu Dingyan coquettishly and angrily: "Don't talk about me again. Well, today I'm almost pissed off! Also, my socks don't stink at all!"

"Do you smell the smell yourself?"

"Anyway! Don't take it here... It's really unlucky today, and what the manager Oppa said is too much. Although that one did insist on completing the stage, he didn't rest because of the bruise. A few days ago, I didn't say anything wrong before, it was just a joke..."

"Then why didn't you tell Oppa that?"

"You! Ahhhhh..."

"Ha ha."

Zhou Ziyu was unmoved by the noise coming from over there. Because of the presence of Lin Nalian and Yu Dingyan, and occasionally Saka Minatozaki, the four-person dormitory was basically the three separate dormitories between them. A lively one.

"Where's Mina Unnie?"

Walking to the living room, Sun Chaeyoung, who was sitting on the sofa watching TV, looked away from Lin Nayeon and the others, and asked Saka Minatozaki who was sitting next to her.

"I'm making up for "Kayo Matsuri" in my own bed." Minatozaki Saka looked at the TV seriously and casually replied: "Isn't she like that? When nothing happens, she likes to stay in her bed and not get off. Everything is up there.”

"profound."

Zhou Ziyu listened to the lazy conversation of the sofa duo, walked behind them and took a look, and found that the two members were watching the replay of "Infinite Challenge", which was the latest episode aired today.

After taking a look at the back and casually chatting with the two members, Zhou Ziyu returned to her room, closed the door, tidied up, and sat on the bed.

Although their dormitory is not very large and the decoration is relatively old, the clothes and beds are arranged very neatly, especially the clothes are not scattered outside, but are all stored in the closet, even the cups on the table. Small things like these are specially placed in their respective places, and a light fragrance lingers around. Everything looks very clean and comfortable, and it is obvious that someone often cleans it up.

In the same room, I felt movement. Kim Dahyun, who was lying quietly on the bed looking at his phone, took off his headphones, looked at Zhou Tzuyu and proactively said: "PDnim's cut clip of "Gayo Festival", Tzuyu wants to watch it together?"

It seems that the activities that the manager told them today made these members very interested, and they were also very obedient. After returning to the dormitory, several people were making up for Park Jin Young's part in "Galaxy Festival".

"Thank you, I'll look at it later."

Zhou Ziyu smiled and declined.

Because she not only wanted to see Park Jin Young's cut, but also wanted to see another person's cut.

Kim Da Hyun nodded without saying much, put on the headphones again, and the whole room suddenly became quiet, which was in sharp contrast to Lin Nayeon's dormitory on the other side.

Taking a cushion and putting it behind her back, Zhou Ziyu was half-lying on the bed, holding her phone and putting on her headphones. When she was about to start reading, she suddenly felt that something was missing. She looked left and right, rolled her eyes, and placed the phone next to her. A dog doll wearing glasses and lolling out its tongue came over and hugged it tightly in his arms. At first, he pressed his face against the doll's figure happily, and then jumped up and down. I patted the dog's head and smoothed its fur, and finally turned on my phone, searched for it, and found a edited personal cut video of "Gayo Festival" to watch.

She is one of the members who doesn't have time to watch this show. Although "No Choice Gayo Festival" is really popular and discussed on the Internet every day, and Chi Jingyuan also participated in this show, Zhou Ziyu is very interested, but she is really There is no chance to take a good look at it from the beginning.

She is one of the busiest members in Twice and has the most things to do. In addition to preparing for the album and debut like everyone else, she also has to go to school in the morning because of her age, take Korean classes because of her nationality, and because of her strength. I have to make extra classes, and my time is very tight every day. I am tired but fulfilled and working hard for my debut.

She took the time to watch one or two episodes of "Gayo Festival" at the beginning. After that, because she was too busy, she only watched a few clips or news intermittently on the Internet, but not much else.

Now since the agent mentioned it, I just want to make up for it.

Although the agent asked me to make up for Park Jin Young’s clip...

"Is this your dedicated music room in SM?"

In the video, Jung Hyung Don and IU looked at their surroundings curiously.

"Well, it used to be shared with a few teachers. Later, maybe because I used it more, the company gave it to me to use."

"The equipment is really professional, and the decoration, haha, is really unique."

As Zheng Hengdun and the two sighed, Zhou Ziyu looked at the camera and looked around. Several decorations in the music room clearly had animation elements, such as armrests, pillows, and even a figure specially placed on the desk. He couldn't help but A chuckle broke out.

She immediately remembered that when she went to EXO's dormitory, Chi Jingyuan's room was decorated in the same style, especially the bedside table filled with models and figurines. She still remembers it clearly to this day.

But I heard from him that XO has changed dormitories, and I don’t know if those things are still there.

The video Zhou Ziyu watched was a cut version of Chi Jingyuan's clip, and all the shots of him showing his face in each issue were in it.

Except for the two episodes of "Masked Dance" and team divisions at the beginning, as well as the mid-term communication episode, "Gayo Festival" was basically recorded separately by each group. One episode of five groups lasted one hour and twenty minutes. Each group has a share of about ten minutes, and because there are three people in the group, Chi Jingyuan and his group may have a little more than two minutes, but not much.

This is also what makes Chi Jingyuan feel helpless. Every recording and preparation takes more than ten hours, but the final editing only takes ten minutes, which makes people feel that a lot of time is wasted.

"Sing a slow song with some lyricism."

"Sing fast songs and make them popular."

"Be lyrical!"

“Pop it!”

Although Chi Jingyuan has a shy smile in the picture, during the communication process with his senior IU, he went back and forth without giving in. Persistence and confidence can be clearly seen in his smile and dark eyes.

"Band? Speaking of bands, I just have a demo here. Listen to it..."

"Name? There's no song title yet, and the lyrics haven't been filled in yet, but because of the inspiration for this song, let's call it "Stars" for the time being."

Chi Jingyuan seemed to have remembered something, turned around and operated the equipment a few times, and then the half-completed song appeared in Zhou Ziyu's ears.

It sounds really nice, but what does "Star" mean?

"I won't let you be alone, so that the moon will not be lonely... Sorry, start over."

A new clip has arrived. At this time, Jung Hyung Don and IU were watching with interest from behind the sound engineer outside. Chi Kyung Yuan was trying to record the song in the studio, but before the part was finished, he felt Don't stop yourself and vetoed it.

"I won't let you...do it again."

"No... sorry, try again."

The smile that he had been wearing before naturally disappeared during the recording. He was very serious and his expression was a little serious. He was obviously very demanding. Even he kept repeating it and tried it five or six times. That’s considered passing.

Zhou Ziyu pursed her lips and kept watching silently. She had never seen Chi Jingyuan look serious at work.

She first met them in the music room of the trio and watched them until today, which is the last episode before the performance of the "Gayo Festival" which was just broadcast on August 8.

This is the chapter from yesterday. I finished it in the middle of the night. I’m sorry.
