Chapter 803 Excessive
When Ji Jingyuan went to eat, Park Jae-hyun also ate beside him, but this guy ate very quickly and finished early and was waiting in the car. He watched through the window as Ji Jingyuan and Zheng Endi high-fived and said goodbye and got into the nanny car. He smelled a strong smell of alcohol before the car door was closed. He looked at Ji Jingyuan, who was flushed and seemed a little drunk, and asked curiously while starting the car, "Why did you drink so much?"
"Is it obvious?"
Chi Jingyuan slapped his face, making a slapping sound, and smiled, looking in a good mood: "We were just chatting, and I drank too much... But compared to Eun-ji, I drank less. Brother, you don't know how much she can drink without blushing or getting nervous... Do people in Busan have such a good alcohol tolerance?"
Anyway, there are no public events in the evening, so it doesn’t matter if it’s a little obvious.
"Hehe..." Park Jae-hyun smiled and didn't reply. He just observed Chi Jingyuan's expression through the rearview mirror... It has been a long time since I saw Chi Jingyuan drinking privately with his friends. It can be seen that the kid is in a good mood.
As the nanny car drove out of the parking lot, Chi Jingyuan leaned back in his chair and opened the window slightly.
The wind was a little chilly. The temperature had dropped significantly since autumn. As the cold wind blew in, Chi Jingyuan felt his mind suddenly become much clearer. However, the excitement he had just had when drinking with friends in the box suddenly subsided, and a feeling of fatigue came over him.
"That's right, brother."
Remembering the agreement just now, Ji Jingyuan told Park Jae-hyun: "You contact the crew of "Goblin" later and tell them that I have decided on the collaborator for the OST of "Stay with me". It's Jung Eun-ji from Apink. I will sing with her... You communicate with them and ask the production company to send an invitation to her agency. Let's find a time to do a sound test together and then put the production plan on the agenda."
It had already been discussed before, and the crew had handed over the work related to the song "Stay with me" to Chi Jingyuan. If he made the right choice, there should be no problem. However, since it is the main OST, some steps still need to be taken.
"Okay, I got it. I'll contact the crew later."
Park Jae-hyun nodded directly without asking why he suddenly chose Jung Eun-ji. He was well aware of Ji Kyung-won's character of taking care of his friends and helping his relatives instead of others.
After agreeing, he remembered something and casually mentioned with a smile: "Just the day before yesterday, Zhu Jinghexi, the producer of "Goblin", called me and asked about this matter. I was just about to tell you, but I didn't expect that you had already thought about it."
Hearing this, Chi Jingyuan nodded slightly: "What a coincidence... But it's almost time, it's good."
He looked at the street outside and took in the breeze for a while: "Where to go now?"
"Didn't I just tell you... go and see the dress GUCCI prepared for you to attend the TVN 10th Anniversary Awards Ceremony the day after tomorrow... they have already delivered it to the company."
……
This TVN 10th Anniversary Awards Ceremony is the most grand awards ceremony since the founding of TVN. The crews of most of the popular TV dramas and variety shows in recent years were invited to participate, attracting a lot of attention from all walks of life. A grand red carpet segment was also specially set up, so special attention still needs to be paid to the costumes.
Most of the dresses that artists from the Peninsula wear to attend such evening parties are rented from related fashion brands, but there are not many brands on the Peninsula that are of sufficient weight. There are too many wolves and too little meat, and many artists' ability to bring products and promote products is generally not taken seriously by brands. Coupled with the limited budget, quite a number of artists wear very simple clothes on such occasions.
Even Chi Jingyuan occasionally faced these situations a few years ago. Sometimes it is better to buy it himself than to find a brand to cooperate with.
However, Chi Jingyuan no longer has this problem. In such public occasions, GUCCI will be fully responsible for all his clothing. This is all written in the contract, which has solved many difficulties for him.
However, the designers at GUCCI seemed to be not very familiar with the situation and rules of the red carpet for evening parties on the peninsula.
"These pieces...are too fashionable."
When Chi Jingyuan saw several suits prepared by GUCCI in the company, he was stunned for a moment. He looked at the suits on the hangers in silence and spoke slowly.
The cooperating designer adhered to GUCCI's consistent design style in the past two years. Even the suits were added with colorful logos and various contrasting patterns. One of them even used the embroidery style of Xiaguo. The colorful lines and stripes on the brown suit made Chi Jingyuan feel that this suit was not for walking on the red carpet or attending award ceremonies, but was more suitable for going to nightclubs.
"This set is the latest design from the headquarters, and the concept is..."
Hearing what he said, the designer who came with him brightened up his eyes and introduced it to him enthusiastically.
Chi Jingyuan listened politely, but he was speechless.
For formal occasions like red carpets and evening parties, you can't just wear whatever you want... Unlike those evening parties in neighboring Xia Country where female stars compete with each other in colorful haute couture, at award ceremonies and red carpets on the Peninsula, the vast majority of artists' dresses are black and white, or similar colors, and sometimes many female artists don't even have jewelry.
In addition to the fact that it is difficult to borrow a suitable dress, and the price of haute couture dresses ranges from tens of millions to hundreds of millions, which makes it unaffordable for female artists with low incomes to buy them, it is also an unspoken rule that has been accepted for many years.
Others wear plain colors because they cannot borrow, cannot afford, are not mature enough or for various historical reasons, so overly bright colors will be considered to attract attention and be impolite.
Ji Jingyuan has collaborated a lot with TVN over the years, including "Reply 1997", "Misaeng" and "Signal". The crews of these dramas were all invited to participate in this awards ceremony, and he has been notified by the organizer. Although he is the male lead of the three dramas, he mainly appeared at the party as a member of the crew of the most recent "Signal", and walked the red carpet with several other leading actors of "Signal".
If Ji Jingyuan were to walk the red carpet with two seniors, Cho Jin-woong and Kim Hye-soo, wearing those colorful clothes... it would really be a bit inappropriate.
He has long passed the stage of relying on this kind of thing to show off.
The designer next to him was talking fluently, and Chi Jingyuan was too embarrassed to interrupt him.
To be honest, the clothes prepared by GUCCI are very stylishly designed. I heard that GUCCI sent the designer from the headquarters specifically for him... Very creative, but really not suitable for Peninsula.
"That's it."
After walking around, he simply chose a dark suit placed next to it.
Compared with the other suits next to it, this suit looks much simpler, but the GUCCI-style print on the chest adds a touch of liveliness to the originally serious dark color. Chi Jingyuan quite likes it.
And this is the only set I can wear.
This is the first time that she has worn a dress prepared by GUCCI since becoming the spokesperson. Before coming here, Chi Jingyuan was very excited to see the heritage and fashion of the top luxury brand, but after all the effort, she found that this was the only dress she could wear.
The first collaboration was not very ideal, which made him feel a little disappointed... But time makes perfect, and Chi Jingyuan planned to find an opportunity to have a good exchange with GUCCI about Peninsula fashion. The next time he encounters such an occasion, he should have some experience.
In fact, the designer was a little puzzled about Chi Jingyuan's choice of this suit. In his opinion, the suit seemed "too simple", but his tactful persuasion was blocked by Chi Jingyuan in just a few words.
While casually communicating with the designer, Chi Jingyuan suddenly had an idea in his mind for some reason. He stopped and asked curiously, "By the way, if my friend needs to rent a suitable dress for the next red carpet or award ceremony, can GUCCI help?"
"Normally we only provide similar services to artists with whom we have a cooperative relationship. Currently, other artists from Peninsula are not qualified to do so..."
The designer expressed his opinion righteously at first, but soon changed his tone: "However, if it is a request made by you, Yuan, who has a deep cooperation with our brand, we can provide you with the most seasonal dresses and jewelry trial and rental services, but it cannot be called cooperation... It is just because of your request."
"Thank you. It's my pleasure."
Chi Jingyuan blinked and nodded slightly.
This designer may not look good but he is really good at talking. With just a few words, Chi Jingyuan felt that GUCCI really valued him and it was a great honor for him... I guess the sales figures in the past half month made the headquarters very happy again.
The designer paused and asked, "Can I ask if it's a male or female friend? We can prepare in advance."
"I don't know yet, I'm just asking..."
Chi Jingyuan shrugged and gestured to his assistant: "I'm going to change my clothes."
He really didn't know...he just suddenly remembered it.
These clothes were tailor-made according to his measurements, so there were certainly no problems with the trying them on, and then he started matching them with shoes and accessories.
After becoming the spokesperson for a fashion brand, this kind of thing has become more complicated. In the past, Chi Jingyuan would either ask the company to prepare something for him or just pick something he liked from his own wardrobe. It wasn't that troublesome.
...However, the high-end luxury brand has tailored everything for him. His treatment is unique in the entire Peninsula entertainment industry. If other artists, especially female artists, knew about it, I wonder how jealous they would be.
After a long day of hard work, Chi Jingyuan finally prepared the dress for the award ceremony. After catching his breath, he received a message from Park Jae-hyun:
"We have already communicated with Goblin. They will send an invitation to Eun-ji-xi's agency the day after tomorrow. When you are done with your work these two days, go for an audition together. If you pass, they will officially send you an invitation... But it's just a formality. We have already said that as long as there are no major problems, it will definitely be approved."
After briefly talking about it, Park Jae-hyun suddenly mentioned another thing: "But in addition to this, the crew told me that they have another OST that they want you to sing..."
This time, "Goblin" is a real big production. In addition to the powerful hardware such as the main creative team, actors, costumes, and scenery, a lot of effort has also been put into the music. The crew has reached cooperation with many well-known and powerful musicians, composers and singers, and prepared various interludes + OSTs for the whole drama, as many as a dozen songs, and also specially prepared a large-scale enterprise to release the audio source in batches for publicity.
The most important theme song is "Stay with Me" by Ji Jingyuan, which will be released simultaneously with the TV series as the first OST.
I originally thought that was all the work he had to do on the OST, but I didn't expect the crew to have new ideas.
"As long as I'm not asked to write again, it's fine. I haven't had any inspiration lately... But the OST is easy to sing, so it doesn't matter."
Chi Jingyuan didn't hesitate when he heard this. He thought about it and agreed: "Let's listen to the demo then. As long as it's not too bad, it'll be OK... But judging by the crew's vision, the quality of the song should be fine."
Park Jae-hyun looked down at his phone and said:
"The demo has been sent over, it's called... "Beautiful""
…………
Because of the emergency, Chi Jingyuan worked overtime at the company and went to the music room to listen to the demo sent by the crew.
This song "Beautiful" is a gentle lyric song sung by a male solo, but the melody and some of the lyrics match well with certain scenes and pictures in the play. Chi Jingyuan, who is very familiar with the script, was reminded of some classic scenes and felt some empathy when he listened to it.
When it is broadcast in the future, if the ratings are good, it may become a small hit along with the drama... Especially since this song is about love, it is very suitable as a wedding song.
However, the arrangement still seems a bit simple, and the overall level is just that of a normal TV drama OST. He feels that it is still quite different from "Stay with Me".
I listened to it several times and discussed it with the musicians in the company, and finally responded directly to the crew, which counted as another job.
He got up early the next day and followed the team to the MBC building in Mapo District. The DMC Super Festival they were going to attend today was held in the Sangam-dong Cultural Plaza in front of MBC.
The area near Sangam-dong is originally an area with a large flow of people in Seoul. Recently, the super festival has attracted a large number of spectators, many of whom are tourists from other countries and some fans who come to see their idols, making this place extremely lively recently. Not long after dawn, when Ji Jingyuan came here with the members in the nanny car, he actually saw spectators and fans waiting at the venue... and there were unexpectedly quite a few people.
After asking a member, he found out that DMC's stage is open to the public and there is no limit on the entry time. You can watch the rehearsal and take pictures directly from below... No wonder so many people came so early.
This DMC Super Festival has been going on for eight days since October 1st. There have been super long performances and various activities every day before. Today's "Voice of Korea Concert" is the most important day. Unlike the previous few days, the invited guests are all popular groups and artists in Kpop.
EXO didn't come at all in the past few days, and we could only see something from their performance today.
The TV station also prepared a large lounge for the artists present. EXO had participated once last year and was familiar with the place. They walked through the backstage prepared by MBC to the lounge. Ji Jingyuan and his friends arrived relatively late, and saw many familiar faces as soon as they entered the door.
Shinee, Girls' Generation, Red Velvet, 2PM, Infinite, Apink, Gfriend, Twice...
Oh, there are so many people coming today.
“EXO is here!”
