Peninsula Asteroid

The cafe-cum-restaurant on the first floor of the new building has a large area and is designed according to the area open to tourists, but because it is not open to the public at this time, there are not many people scattered on the entire first floor at this time, almost all of them are tourists. The staff of the company looked a little deserted.

Because it is an SM star-themed coffee shop, there are several large cabinets in the middle of the venue, inside which are various handicrafts and peripheral products of SM artists, making people think they entered some kind of gift shop. Large posters of artists were pasted on the window glass in the row. As soon as Chi Jingyuan came in, he saw EXO in the most prominent position at first sight, as well as his frontal pictorial that he didn't know when he took it.

It's pretty handsome.

"This way!"

He ordered a cup of chocolate and sat down at a random place. Within two minutes, the person who had made an appointment with him for a cup of coffee approached the coffee shop, and sat across from him after Chi Jingyuan waved his hand proactively.

The person who met him today at this time was not a friend or relative, but a musician who joined SM Company not long ago, and one of the producers of their third regular album, PDOGG, whose real name is Kang Hyo-shin.

It is said that this brother used to belong to another company. He left the original company to join SM in the second half of last year. He was not well-known in the industry before, and he didn't have the kind of masterpiece that everyone has heard of when he said his name.

But not long after he came here, he was valued by the company because of his outstanding talent. This time, besides including his song "fire" in the third regular album of EXO, he was even directly appointed as one of the producers of the album. It is also obvious that SM is optimistic about him.

You must know that EXO is now the backbone of the company. Not everyone can participate in their regular albums. It is a very important qualification for many musicians to leave a name in the recording of songs and album production. .

Chi Jingyuan heard from Kenzie before that he has been very interested in this brother since he saw his works. He thinks his songs are very distinctive and very appetizing. It just so happens that this time we will work together soon. The previous meeting This brother was also there at the time, so I took advantage of this time to sit and chat.

Jiang Xiaoxin looks to be in his early thirties, with a slightly fat body, wearing black-rimmed glasses, and a brown hooded sweater. It may be because he just had a meeting, and he looked very energetic after cleaning up very cleanly.

"What would you like to drink, brother? Chocolate?" After the other party sat down, Chi Jingyuan enthusiastically recommended it.

"That's too sweet..." But Jiang Xiaoxin didn't introduce it, so after a little consideration, he ordered the old-fashioned one: "American style."

Soon the coffee was served. Although they had seen it before, they were not very familiar with it. The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and chatted casually about SM's situation. He casually asked, "How did you come up with the idea of ​​being a musician?"

"Actually, I first learned vocal music. At the beginning, I wanted to be a singer..." Talking about the past, Kang Hyo-shin became relaxed and laughed at the same time: "After I came into contact with Kpop, I Then I changed my mind and thought about making idol music in the future, but my family was against it at the time, haha... What about you, Jingyuan?"

"I was more interested in music and dancing when I was very young, but I didn't listen to Kpop at the time... After I grew up, I wanted to become an idol. After all, it is really amazing to be able to stand on the stage and be cheered by countless people. It's pretty cool." Chi Jingyuan looked up and recalled, and laughed: "I have read all the songs written by brother, they are really amazing, and the style is very unique, I was still a little wondering why I didn't see them before. your works."

"Because some of the previous companies were a bit difficult to operate, and some songs would not be useful even if they were written. In fact..." Speaking of this, Jiang Xiaoxin hesitated and said, "I am also in SM. Because of this reason, it actually has a little relationship with XO... Forget it, it's all over..."

Seeing that Jiang Xiaoxin was reluctant to mention it, Chi Jingyuan became a little interested when he heard the words, but he didn't ask any more questions.

The two chatted from the arrangement of "fire" to the lyrics of "Blood and Sweat", and then naturally talked about song production.

Bringing up his views on idol groups and music, Kang Hyo-shin said seriously, "I think the attitude towards music is the most important for a group to be successful and to be able to continue its success. To win the public's type, no matter how successful the group is , their music quality must be good.”

"I have studied the route of XO. EXO's success today is not only related to the company's promotion and creation, but also has a lot to do with Jing Yuan's few high-quality songs written by you, especially the 13-year "" "Roar" really had the effect of bringing the dead back to life."

Jiang Xiaoxin looked at Chi Jingyuan with some admiration: "Jing Yuan, you really have your own style in songwriting."

"I think, each song has its own way of production, I usually build a general framework based on the feeling of some things, and the emotional state of modern society, and then use this framework Starting with the basics and adding more detailed content..."

Speaking of a more professional and interesting topic, Chi Jingyuan also devoted himself and said seriously: "But for me personally, the inspiration under emotional stimulation is the most important thing for an excellent work to come out."

"I feel the same way!" Hearing Chi Jingyuan's words, Jiang Xiaoxin nodded in agreement.

"Actually, SM told me before that they want me to be the exclusive producer of the upcoming new boy group." He suddenly mentioned something: "But I joined SM to a large extent. I came here for XO, so after thinking about it, I declined."

"Oh?" Chi Jingyuan paused when he heard the news, and nodded slightly.

Even if the SM family has a big business, but the song resources are not enough, the debut of the new boy group will obviously take away some of EXO's resources.

"Jing Yuan!"

While chatting with Jiang Xiaoxin, there was a pleasantly surprised voice from the side. Chi Jingyuan looked to the side, and it turned out to be Cui Xueli, an old relative of the same age whom he hadn't seen much for a while.

At this time, she was obviously very happy when she saw Chi Jingyuan, her eyes lit up and she waved her hand excitedly. There was also a young woman in her twenties standing beside her, who should be her friend. Looking at Chi Jingyuan here.

Chi Jingyuan also laughed when he saw her, and waved to say hello, but he didn't say much.

After seeing Jiang Xiaoxin opposite Chi Jingyuan, Cui Xueli obviously knew that he was busy, and after saying hello with a sweet grin, she walked aside with her friend.

Seeing Cui Xueli, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help being a little distracted.

FX’s comeback last year was good, and the enthusiasm of the fans was also very strong, but SM didn’t seem to care much about the follow-up development of this group. Since then, the five people have been running around for a while, picking their feet. , the group itinerary is almost invisible.

And FX, which debuted in 2009, is about to renew its contract.

But Ji Jingyuan remembers hearing Park Jae-hyun mention it once, saying that except for Cui Xueli, the other four members of FX have already renewed their contracts.

But Cui Xueli has been procrastinating and not signing.

A few years ago, this girl had been arguing that she didn't want to be an idol anymore. Chi Jingyuan, who originally wanted to show off, persuaded her a few words, but after she calmed down, she probably waited for the contract to expire and switch to an actress.

I don't know if I really decided to pay attention this time.

After sitting with her friend for a few minutes, Cui Xueli got up and left. Before she left, she said goodbye to Chi Jingyuan with a smile a few meters away, and made a gesture of calling to indicate that she would contact him at that time.

As for Chi Jingyuan, he chatted with Jiang Xiaoxin for a while, got to know this musician who will often collaborate in the future, and then got up to leave, and returned to the set by car.

…………

red velvet went home on vacation, EXO is similar, although the preparation of the new album has already started, but because of the approaching of the Spring Festival, there is no group schedule recently, EXO members who do not have personal resources are also put on vacation by the company, but Chi Jingyuan can’t do that Zi Zi, after finishing the company meeting, he returned directly to the crew and started his own filming.

On the afternoon of February 5th, the song "dream" by him and Pei Zhuxuan, which represented the successful conclusion of Yinyin CP's journey, was quietly released by SM. The music video for this song was not filmed because it could avoid Ji Jingyuan. The company that has a relationship with Pei Zhuxuan CP did not make any announcements or promotions. The biggest exposure of the song was that Chi Jingyuan posted an ins, uploading a screenshot of him and Pei Zhuxuan's "dream" stage at that time, and carried out a small publicity.

But in fact, based on Chi Jingyuan's own traffic, the attention brought by the popular "Signal", and more importantly, the number of tens of millions of fans who are now ranked first among Kpop artists on Instagram, the effect of this kind of exposure and publicity is actually It's already pretty good. In addition to the fans who followed him knowing about it for the first time, many marketing accounts and media also reprinted it one after another.

Even without SM's efforts, there is already enough heat.

Although fans of EXO and red velvet don't really like this ambiguous collaboration song, but because of the excellent quality of the song itself, and the excited support of Yinyin CP fans, the sound source of "dream" is very good. Although the song was not number one in the airborne, it did not take long to reach the top of the daily chart, and it also won the first place in the daily chart for two consecutive days.

Although no MV was shot, as soon as the song was released, loyal fans immediately collected many shots and shots of the previous Yinyin CP, edited them together with the BGM of "dream" and uploaded them to Youtube. It took less than a day It was topped the popular category

Chi Jingyuan went to watch it after seeing someone Amway in the fan group. The cut was really good. The scenes of all kinds of stares, complaints, tsundere and the stage instantly made people return to last year's Yinyin CP. During the period, he saw many classic interaction scenes between him and Pei Zhuxuan. When the tacit understanding and sweetness through the screen reappeared in front of his eyes, he couldn't help but have some memories and emotions.

This edited video is the best MV of this song.

It is worth mentioning that SM's key project this year, the "station subway" project, has also officially started. The first station of the subway, Kim Taeyeon's "rain" as the beginning, was also officially released on February 3. The sound source is also excellent. At the same time as the ring, it immediately won the first place in the daily list, which is a good start for this 'subway' project.

It's a pity that whether it's "dream" or "rain", although they performed very well on and above the Gua Bang music source, they just won one or two daily charts, and before they shined for a long time, they were replaced by Gfriend's "Time Passage". It was covered.

This song has been really popular recently. It airborne in the first week of the song, ranked third in the weekly chart, and firmly dominated the weekly chart in the second week. Although it was only released for two weeks, Gfriend has only debuted for a year. The girl group has clearly become the new trend.

However, Chi Jingyuan thought it was nothing. He released "dream" to commemorate Yinyin MC's career, and at the same time satisfy the expectations of CP fans. He didn't care much about the results, and the sound source of "dream" It's good enough, and the reviews online are pretty good.

It's normal to not be able to beat "Time Passage", this song is indeed of high quality and Chi Jingyuan also likes it,

It is so much better than "I got a boy" that I don't know where it went.

...

""Dream" was very touching when I watched the stage, and now I feel even sweeter after hearing the song. Yuan's voice in this song is so touching, and Irene's singing is also very good, a very excellent song Song."

"Hey, when I heard this song, I remembered that when I was watching "Music Bank" last year, every time Yuan and Irene appeared in front of the camera, I would knock up and make my aunt smile. Now the two new MCs are a What is it, it doesn't have the same taste as before and you have to imitate their style, the color is even worse, the more you look at it, the more boring it is."

"It's been a long time since I watched Music Bank."

"It's really great. The combination of the two voices is perfect. The tune is fresh and rhythmic. Coupled with the story contained in it, it is a very flavorful and intellectual song."

"Ahhh, I really shouldn't listen to this song. When I listened to it, I remembered the days when I was chasing Yinyin CP... Originally, I expected Yuan and Irene to be together after getting off the car, but after getting off the car, I directly It was completely broken, and there was no interaction at all, which was really disappointing."

Pei Zhuxuan browsed the various evaluations of "dream" on the mobile phone, and saw many fans' comments on this song, as well as her and Chi Jingyuan's compliments on CP, regrets and other various messages, and the mood inevitably became happy.

Especially when she saw the last message, she couldn't help but blinked, and secretly said 'Mi Ah Nei' to this fan.

At this time, the nanny car was driving on the highway from Seoul to Daegu. She was sitting in the back row of the nanny car, listening to music quietly with headphones on, and swiping her phone.

In the driver's seat was Park Jae-hyun, who was asked by Chi Jingyuan to take her home, driving the car very seriously.

Pei Zhuxuan was still a little nervous when she first sat on the seat. Although she had known Chi Jingyuan's personal manager for a long time and was quite familiar with it, this time he was sending her home as a male manager after all, and She also knew that Park Jae-hyun had a special relationship with Chi Kyung-won and was not an ordinary manager assigned to him by the company, so she was a little embarrassed for a while.

But after saying hello, Park Jae-hyun seemed to see that Pei Zhuxuan was a little nervous, after a few casual chats, he calmed down and started to focus on driving, and Pei Zhuxuan relaxed after getting used to it.

"This dream has been on my mind all day."

"The dream that makes people feel happy is you..."

As we got closer and closer to Daegu, the scenery beside Daegu gradually became familiar. The "Dream" that was not tiresome echoed in the earphones, and we watched the fields and roads passing by outside the nanny's car through the window, especially the seats. With the vaguely familiar smell around, Pei Zhuxuan only felt that the sky was clear and blue, and he was in a very happy mood.

She swayed her legs lightly to the beat, if it wasn't for Park Jae-hyun's embarrassment in driving, she would have hummed directly.

Especially after the car got off the expressway and entered the urban area, the joy and urgency of being close to home slowly came to my heart.

"Is it in the North District?"

At this time, Park Jae-hyun, who had been speechless all the way, suddenly asked.

"Ah..." Pei Zhuxuan, who was looking at the familiar street scene through the window, was taken aback. She trembled and gave a slight shudder. After realizing it, she quickly replied: "Nai Ouba, in the North District, on the side of Qigu ..."

She leaned up, leaned into the middle of the front seat and looked ahead, pursed her lips and thought for a while before commanding: "Well, go straight ahead of Ouba, and then see the big turntable turn right... yes, it's here... the front This road has to go to the side... turn right here..."

As the road and the shops on both sides became more and more familiar, her voice became a little eager and crisp, like a clever oriole.

"It's here, it's here!"

With a cheer, under Pei Zhuxuan's command, Park Jae-hyun parked the car in front of a small building that looked old and obviously old. Pei Zhuxuan first opened the car door and jumped down like a rabbit. Park Jae-hyun got out of the car and went to the backup. The box took all of Pei Zhuxuan's things.

"Then Irene xi, I'll go first."

After taking the things to the door of the building, Park Jae-hyun left directly. Seeing his happy expression, but still suppressing the excitement in his heart in front of him, Pei Zhuxuan, who put on a quiet look, smiled.

"Ouba, go up and rest for a while." Seeing that Park Jae-hyun was about to leave, Pei Zhuxuan quickly and enthusiastically persuaded him to stay.

"No need, Jing Yuan is still waiting for me to go back. He will be filming very late today." Park Jae-hyun waved his hand lightly, opened the door and sat in the driver's seat, then smiled at Pei Zhuxuan through the window One click: "By the way, Happy New Year, Irene xi."

"Goodbye, Ouba, drive safely." The young lady saluted lightly, and sweetly waved to Park Jae-hyun who was sitting in the driver's seat: "Kangsang Mita, Happy New Year."

After the farewell, the engine sounded, and the nanny car started and slowly drove towards the distance.

At this time, it seemed that they heard the movement here, and there was a rapid sound of going downstairs, and a middle-aged man who was not tall came out of the building.

"Oh Dad!" Pei Zhuxuan immediately recognized her family when she saw it, waved her hand happily, and jumped towards her father.

The father and daughter exchanged a few words of greeting with a smile. Father Pei quickly took the initiative to pick up a lot of items on the ground, and at the same time glanced at the direction where the nanny car was leaving. I was going to pick you up at the high-speed rail station, but I said no the day before yesterday... Is it someone from your company who brought you back?"

"That's right, it's Ouba, the manager of the company." Pei Zhuxuan followed her father with something in her hand and nodded.

"You really don't know how to be polite. When you come back from such a distance, you don't let others come in and sit down. You just let them go. You are such an adult, don't you understand..." Although I was very happy to see my daughter coming back, But Dad Pei, who has a serious personality, couldn't help but teach a lesson that he was used to, but he didn't say much, especially when he turned around and saw his daughter pouting when she heard some key words, she stopped talking immediately.

He took advantage of the situation to change the topic, feeling a little satisfied: "However, you can arrange someone to take you back when you are on vacation. Your company is very good."

"Um……"

When the little sister who was a little bit angry just now heard this sentence, she rolled her eyes, her smile blurred on her face, and she shook her head triumphantly:

"It's just good..."
