Chapter 1227 Where to go
"Yeah, what do you think, brother?"
Chi Jingyuan was very pleased with his agent's surprise and shining eyes. He was full of energy and showed off to his agent: "I designed all three..."
The cartoon character 'Jikawa' designed according to his inspiration and personal characteristics really ignited Chi Jingyuan's work enthusiasm. After sending Zhou Ziyu back to the apartment last night, Chi Jingyuan didn't go anywhere and rushed back to continue designing and drawing for an entire night. Not only did he finish drawing two of the Chikawas, he also used his imagination to perfect some settings and background stories for this 'Jikawa'.
"This is the original version, called... Xiaochi. It was designed based on some of my characteristics, um... and imagination. It is the initial form of all Jikawa. Oh, I plan to make this image into a series, and I will name all the ones in the series 'Jikawa'...
"Xiaochi is a white hamster. He is highly intelligent, has strong fighting ability, and is mentally strong, but a little lazy... He has a range of skills, including singing, dancing, weeding, hunting, cooking, fishing, etc. He is a genius!"
Chi Jingyuan enthusiastically introduced the image and setting he designed to his agent, and the agent seemed to be very engaged in listening. He naturally and easily immersed himself in the setting, and exclaimed in admiration from time to time.
"So Jingyuan-kun..."
After listening for a while, the agent roughly understood all the contents. He looked at them carefully and asked curiously, "So these three are designed by you?"
"Well, no, Koike is me, Koike is the original version, and the swordsman is also me. Well, it can be understood as Koike's fighting form, or the grown-up version after the battle."
Chi Jingyuan waved his hands quickly and introduced it to his agent very seriously. Then he pointed to the last one, a cute creature with big ears and a short face that he couldn't tell whether it was a rabbit or an otter. After hesitating for a while, he said, "This is not it. This is something I designed... based on my friend's characteristics. But it's not finished yet. I plan to let her design it herself."
According to Chi Jingyuan's idea, he might as well just paint Zhou Ziyu's Jikawa black, which would be the most vivid... But Zhou Ziyu was obviously not happy about it. After returning home yesterday, Chi Jingyuan thought about it and sent the draft to Zhou Ziyu, asking her to design it for herself according to his previous settings.
This black girl was obviously very interested in the job of designing a Jikawa for herself. She worked hard for a long time and sent him a lot of ideas and thoughts.
"Is that so?"
After listening to it, the agent looked at the three Jikawas again and nodded seriously: "It feels really interesting..."
At first, when he heard Chi Jingyuan say that he designed an anime character for himself, he didn't take it seriously. After all, he knew about the fan's question yesterday. He thought Chi Jingyuan was just playing around. After all, he was just interested for a while and had no experience.
But seeing that Chi Jingyuan actually came up with the finished design and settings in just one night, especially these things called Jikawa that looked like otters, hamsters or rabbits, even from his perspective, they were really interesting and cute.
It makes people feel that it is very cute and fun.
And this is already a remarkable thing.
"Jingyuan, please prepare the relevant drawings and materials. I'll give this Ji... Ji Ka Wow, this name is also very interesting. It combines your last name with 'cute'. It's very thoughtful and vivid..."
"I will apply for copyright for Jikawa's image, and then let the company study it to see how to publish and promote it, as well as its subsequent use."
After a few professional remarks, the agent seemed to get excited. Looking at the image on the paper, he repeated, "I really think the Jikawa you designed is very cute... If the fans' response is good after it is released, we can take the opportunity to launch peripheral products and even release an animation..."
"If developed properly, it will be a great help to your image in Japan. Japan has a strong ACG atmosphere and many people like it. If it is liked by many people, it may even become a big label for you..."
The people in Japan are more familiar with this. The agent said a lot, and Chi Jingyuan also discussed the development of Jikawa with him very seriously. The two of them sat there and talked for half an hour.
It may sound a bit unprofessional to say it, but according to Chi Jingyuan's enthusiasm, this Jikawa is the job he is most passionate about and interested in since he came to Neon, except for "Fireworks".
After Chi Jingyuan handed the information to the agent, the matter of Ji Kawa came to an end temporarily. The agent finally started talking about work: "...The popularity of "Fireworks" has not decreased at all. It is still maintained at a very high level. It is expected to slowly decline after the fireworks festivals in major cities and the summer tourism boom are over. So now is the best opportunity to strike while the iron is hot and consolidate your popularity and national recognition. Next, you and EXO will have a lot of work to do in Japan."
"So we can only run to two...three sides?" Chi Jingyuan smiled bitterly when he heard this.
According to the original plan, EXO's activities in Japan would end around August and they would begin preparing to enter the American market. The album was already ready and the company had already booked a number of shoots for American TV programs.
The phenomenal success of "Fireworks on Fire" was something no one had expected, but since they were so lucky to have it become a hit, they certainly couldn't waste such a good opportunity, so they could only modify their previous plans and continue to add a lot of work in Neon.
In addition to some things happening in the mainland of the peninsula, Chi Jingyuan may have to fly back and forth three times with EXO in the next two months, which sounds very tiring.
But I feel... it's still not as good as Twice.
"It can only be the."
The agent shrugged helplessly, but immediately smiled and said, "But there is good news. Jingyuan-kun, you are really popular now. More importantly, the acceptance of the public, the market, and even the industry has increased... This way, many jobs that had no hope before can continue. For example, the OP of Boruto has changed their mind and warmly invited us to continue the discussion."
"Oh?"
This job also interested him very much. When Chi Jingyuan heard this, his eyebrows raised, and he asked again, "Can we talk about the OP of "Pokemon"?"
"The agency can try to contact you, but I think it should be okay... You are the most popular artist now... I even think you can perform at the Red and White Festival this year!"
Looking at this male idol from the Peninsula, even as his manager, I feel a little like I am in a dream... Who would have thought that EXO and Ji Jingyuan, who had encountered obvious bottlenecks in their development before, would have a huge change in less than a month, and even become the most popular artists as foreign idols?
"...So you still want to go back to Seoul?" At the end, the agent couldn't help but ask another question. It was obvious that he had some objections to Chi Jingyuan's return to the peninsula at this critical juncture.
"Yeah...it won't interfere with my work."
Chi Jingyuan also noticed it, but didn't say anything, just laughed.
It is already August today, and Girls' Generation's album will be officially released in a few days. Although his work as a producer on the music has been completed, the subsequent promotion and release have nothing to do with him anymore...
But after all the hard work for so long, he was still a little worried and wanted to go back to take a look... and there was also some work on the peninsula.
"when are we leaving?"
"I'm going to have dinner with my friends tonight and then go back home."
…………
"Hey, look at me~how am I?"
"I think it's prettier if you blow it up a bit... It's just a meal, but if you dress up so pretty, people will wonder what you're going to do~"
"Just say one or two?"
"Plop, plop!"
“Hehe… shhh, maybe~ how about competing with Tzuyu?”
"...Well, let me check the time. Jingyuan Oppa sent a text message. Hurry up."
In Twice's apartment, amid the hum of hair dryers, two little sisters, Yu Jeongyeon and Lim Nayeon, were whispering.
Facing Nayeon who was so proud of herself when she was given a little color, Yu Jeongyeon couldn't bear to undermine her self-confidence. She pretended that her cell phone rang and quickly looked down, ignoring Nayeon's angrily clapping hand, and walked out with a look of "it's too late".
However, when she was about to leave, she looked back and saw Lin Nayeon, who was using a hair dryer to blow her slightly curly long hair, while she tilted her head and pouted in front of the mirror, with her nose slightly wrinkled, as if she was still dissatisfied with her perfunctory attitude just now.
After taking a look, Yu Jeongyeon felt that her little sister was actually quite pretty, very cute and lively, and had a completely different style from Chou Tzuyu. Although she might not be as bright and beautiful as Chou Tzuyu, whom she wanted to compare herself to, she was really likable.
At least, that's how she sees it... But from a man's perspective it should be about the same. At least Yu Jeongyeon knows that many people in the circle have had a crush on Lim Nayeon and have pursued her. There are several of them within JYP alone.
After waiting at the door for a while, Lim Nayeon came out smelling fragrant after blow-drying her hair. She followed Yu Jeongyeon into the room and just happened to meet Chou Tzuyu who was coming back from the bathroom.
“Tzuyu…”
Lin Nayeon saw it and immediately called out, then moved closer and paused before asking in a low voice, "Aren't you going?"
Zhou Ziyu came back so late yesterday. Although she used "going out to eat" as an excuse, how could Lin Nayeon not know where she went?
After Chi Jingyuan and Ming Jingnan broke up, although Zhou Ziyu rarely discussed Chi Jingyuan in the team, everyone knew that the two had a close relationship from many years ago to now.
She had originally planned to have dinner with Chi Jingyuan and the others, and she thought Zhou Ziyu would also join them, but she didn't seem to be interested.
"Unnie, I'm not going."
Zhou Ziyu, who had just washed her face, smiled faintly when she heard this: "You guys go eat... I have something to do."
She knew that Lim Nayeon and the others were going out to dinner with Ji Jingyuan and the others today...but she was not really used to showing her close relationship with Ji Jingyuan in front of her teammates.
With Lim Nayeon and the others around, we can’t even kiss!
And yesterday, Chi Jingyuan gave her the design rights of her Jikawa and let her design it herself. This really touched Zhou Ziyu's enthusiasm and excitement. Now she draws non-stop whenever she has free time.
It is really interesting to design my own cartoon character, and the prototype and background set by Chi Jingyuan.
In the future, it is possible that we will see Chi Jingyuan wearing Jikawa's clothes based on her, and holding the series' peripheral products. That kind of subtle excitement is really exciting and exciting.
After hearing what Zhou Ziyu said, Lim Nayeon and Yu Jeongyeon didn't ask any more questions. They changed their shoes and left together.
"Where did they go?"
Minatozaki Sana came out of the kitchen and was eating a mango. When she heard the noise, she just happened to see the backs of the two people leaving.
"Who?" Momo Hirai was walking behind and didn't see anything, so she asked stupidly.
"Nayeon unnie, she and Jeongyeon unnie just went out."
"Oh, the two of them~"
Hirai Momo understood immediately after hearing this, and then rolled her eyes a little: "They went out to have dinner with Hanabi Man."
This 'Fireworks Man' is the new nickname that Momo Hirai gave to Chi Jingyuan. Because of the relationship with Ming Jingnan, she can't call him by his name every day. Also, because of the prejudice in her heart, she doesn't want to use honorifics like 'Oppa' or 'Kun' in private. But it's not easy to call him 'scumbag scumbag' every day.
And because "Fireworks" has been so popular recently, it can be heard everywhere. Momo Hirai, who listens to it every day, suddenly had an idea and gave Chi Jingyuan the nickname "Fireworks Man".
...No matter how you listen to it, it feels a bit derogatory.
"..."
Seeing that Minatozaki Sana looked a little surprised, Momo Hirai bit off the mango in her hand and chewed it happily: "I worked with him before on "Really Really" Fireworks Man. Jeongyeon and he are very good friends. They even have a Kakao group and often chat in it. They are very close. It's not normal for him to come to Tokyo and have dinner together... Didn't I tell you~"
Although her voice was a little unclear due to eating, Momo Hirai's tone was a little subtle, and it was hard to tell whether it was envy or resentment.
"I know~"
Minatozaki Sana had heard about it from Momo Hirai, and also knew that the four-member group of "really reaaly" had a group and they had a very good relationship in private.
But, she looked at the door and blinked, pointing at the empty door, and it was even more strange: "I know Jeongyeon...but why did Nayeon go there? She didn't participate in "Really Really"~"
"She's just joining in the fun."
Hirai Momo glanced over there, but didn't pay much attention. She ate her mango and said casually, "You know her, the king of support. She's always there wherever there's excitement."
"Yeah~"
Upon hearing this, Minatozaki Sana nodded without comment and did not ask any more questions.
However, she still felt something was strange in her heart... She remembered that Lin Nayeon used to be the leader of Chi Jingyuan's anti-fans. She had no idea how many times she had heard her say bad things about Chi Jingyuan in private in the dormitory. Why was she going to join in the fun?
Go lurk around and act like a wolf, then play the villain?
Minatozaki Sana couldn't help but guess in her heart with a smile.
But... Sana Minatozaki was inexplicably stunned. She suddenly remembered that it seemed like she hadn't heard Lin Nayeon slandering Chi Jingyuan in the dormitory for a long time. She even forgot when was the last time she heard her say something bad about him.
When did the unknown changes happen?
Minatozaki Sana seemed to have noticed something, but she didn't take it too seriously. Looking at the empty living room and listening to the unmannered mumbling of Hirai Momo next to her, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
Ugh.
To be honest, when she saw Yu Jeongyeon and the others going out to eat...she actually wanted to go too.
If only Mina-chan hadn't broken up with him, then she might have gone with Mina-chan today.
Although she had only been a wingman with Mingjing Nan to meet Chi Jingyuan every time before, and although Minatozaki Sana had a lot on her mind, she actually quite liked this feeling. At least they could talk and laugh, and everyone's relationship was still so good.
How did it become like this?
Minatozaki Sana followed Hirai Momo and walked leisurely towards the room, but her thoughts were silently churning.
but.
If we hadn't broken up...
