It took one day and one night to complete the filming of the four-person version of the MV for "really really". After the other three finished filming and left, Chi Jingyuan immediately rushed to the filming site of the solo advertising song.
The MV of the advertising song is relatively less complicated. It mainly features Chi Jingyuan's handsome shots and the exaggerated shape and excellent performance of the Mercedes-Benz AMG. The car is the protagonist.
After the MV shooting, Chi Jingyuan cooperated in shooting some promotional advertisements. Finally, on the 16th, most of the work on this advertisement/subway song "really really" was completed.
After negotiation between SM, the advertising company and the brand, it was finally confirmed that the subway song's audio source and MV will be released on October 25th, and Mercedes' advertisements and various ground promotions will also be broadcast and started on the same day. At that time, there will be many platforms and promotional activities that require Chi Jingyuan's participation.
I heard that Peninsula Mercedes will announce at the press conference that it will give him a latest AMG GT. I wonder how many colleagues will envy him at that time... Although he doesn't need a car that will be recognized as soon as he drives out.
He had just finished his work on the advertising side in the morning, and after lunch he rushed to tvN. Today was the day when the main creative staff of "Goblin" and the singer of the OST "Stay with Me" Jung Eun-ji met. As the producer of the song and Jung Eun-ji's nominee, of course he had to be present, and he also had to audition with Jung Eun-ji.
Chi Jingyuan and Zheng Enji arrived earlier. The producer of the crew had not arrived yet. The two of them were waiting in the music room. Looking at the Busan man who was holding the music score and reading silently, looking like he was cramming for an exam, the somewhat bored Chi Jingyuan lazily broke the silence: "This song is not easy. Do you know how to sing it? Can you sing it?"
"Nonsense, you don't even know how many times I've practiced during this period..."
Hearing this, Jung Eun-ji put down the music and looked over with a frown: "Of course there is no problem. You can doubt other things, but when it comes to singing, I will not question it!"
"Oh? What do you mean by other aspects, Actor Zheng?"
I was just waiting for her to say that. Chi Jingyuan immediately put on an innocent and curious look and asked in a mean way.
"Go to hell!" Zheng Endi was too lazy to pay attention to him. She lowered her head and started looking at the music score again.
Seeing that she seemed a little nervous, Chi Jingyuan stopped joking and paused for a moment before taking the initiative to speak up: "Don't worry too much. I've already talked to the producer. As long as there aren't any major problems... it's basically just a formality."
He shrugged and didn't say the rest.
You are the only candidate right now, so even if something goes wrong...it doesn't matter.
"..." Jung Eun-ji clicked her lips and gave him a look that said 'you're really awesome'.
After waiting for ten minutes, the crew arrived on time. One of the producers, Jin Zhiyan, and Jin Enshu came in with a few people. After saying hello, Jin Enshu looked at Chi Jingyuan and smiled and blamed him:
"Jingyuan, you haven't been on the set these days, so the progress has slowed down a lot. The PD has been talking about you every day these days."
Although the filming progress of "Goblin" was very encouraging, Chi Jingyuan has not stayed in the crew for a few days recently because of the fashion week and the commercial song.
"Mi-ane-no-na..."
Chi Jingyuan smiled awkwardly and said, "I will fly over the day after tomorrow to meet up with PD Li Yingfu and the others."
Next, the rivalry scenes between the male and female protagonists Kim Yoon and Ji Eun-tak need to be filmed abroad. The shooting location is arranged in Quebec, Canada. The crew flew there this morning. Director Lee Eung-bok and heroine Bae Suzy have also gone there to start shooting.
In fact, the itinerary and time arrangement had already been communicated between the company and the crew in advance. According to the advance plan to shoot six episodes of "Goblin" when it is released in December, the current progress is not much slower and there is enough time... but obviously he can't say that.
"Shoot more now, so it will be easier later." Kim Ji-yeon interjected with a smile.
"Eun-ji-xi was recommended by Jingyuan, so there is no problem with her singing... Has Eun-ji-xi heard about the drama "Goblin"?"
"Yes, the crew has given me part of the script. The plot and setting are really touching."
After a few pleasantries, we got down to business... Actually, some aspects of this were just formalities.
But if it's really not very suitable, for example, when Jung Eun-ji opens her mouth, she sings the refreshing electronic music like Momo Hirai, then even Chi Jingyuan doesn't have the face to let others pretend to be deaf and dumb and pretend not to hear it.
After all, we still have to consider the effect of the TV series.
Fortunately, Jung Eun-ji's singing level is still guaranteed.
"If this is a dream, wake up now."
"Please, are you really my destiny?"
"na~~Falling you~"
In the soundproof room, Ji Kyung-won and Jung Eun-ji stood in their respective positions, and the male and female duet version of "Stay with Me", the main OST of "Goblin", was presented to the public for the first time.
Although it was just an audition, Jung Eun-ji was very serious and cautious.
And she was obviously not bragging. You could tell from what you heard that she really had practiced many times. She even seemed to have figured out the various settings and emotions in the incomplete script she was given. She also obviously put a lot of her own emotions into the singing.
Chi Jingyuan thought she was about to cry when he heard the trembling voice.
This song "Stay with Me" was originally a male solo version, but later it was changed by Chi Jingyuan into a male and female chorus. The essence of the song basically became the female voice, and then his part became a large-scale rap.
However, his task does not stop there. His backing vocals and harmonies are needed in many parts, including the chorus. The overlapping voices of men and women increase the expressiveness a lot, greatly enrich the emotions, and add a lot of layers and dynamics to the overall listening experience.
In general, this song requires the fusion and coordination of two people's voices.
The two people who had worked together before had a good understanding of each other, and the first cooperation was obviously very effective.
Not only Kim Eun-sook and the others who listened with a critical attitude, but also Chi Jingyuan who was singing with her, his eyes lit up. Originally, he was just cooperating with Zheng Endi casually, but under her lead, he soon became serious.
"If it's fate, then it's falling on you."
With Chi Jingyuan's harmony, as the last line of the lyrics was sung with emotion, the music ended and the soundproof room fell silent, while outside, Kim Eun-sook and a few others actually started clapping as if they were at a concert.
Looking at Jung Eun-ji who was still immersed in the song next to him, Ji Jingyuan smiled and gave her a thumbs up.
……
"I'm going to fly to Canada the day after tomorrow to shoot on location. After I come back, I'll probably be busy with subway songs for a few days, and then the concert... I guess the official recording will have to wait until early next month."
The remaining contract matters were discussed between the crew and Jung Eun-ji's agency. After the audition, the two did not leave immediately. They happened to meet each other, so they found a seat in the cafe next to tvN, ordered a cup of coffee and chatted for a while.
"You are really busy..."
Jung Eun-ji smacked her lips. She was obviously in a good mood after winning this OST. "The quality of this song is really high. I felt it just by listening to the prelude. Bomi and Hayoung said they wanted to see the official broadcast of "Goblin" after hearing it."
"Nonsense, I wrote the OST specifically for Goblin. This is the first time I've written a song specifically for a drama."
“Are you confident about this play?”
"Of course. Need I tell you about my taste in choosing scripts?"
Chi Jingyuan waved his hand carelessly.
Although he said that, he actually felt a little guilty... "The K2", which he rejected at the beginning, has been performing better and better in the past two weeks. Its ratings have exceeded 6%, and it is about to break 10%. If it can break 10, it will be an excellent result among cable TV stations. Although he is very confident about "Goblin", it may not be higher than others by then.
When Chi Jingyuan saw the ratings of "The K2" these two days, he was secretly surprised...
This shouldn't be the case. The heroine is obviously...
Also, the ratings of Yoona senior's "The K2" have surpassed Baekhyun's "Scarlet Heart Ryeo" which was produced during the same period, and the cable ratings have surpassed TVB... He doesn't know whether he should be happy for Yoona senior or sad for Baekhyun.
Feeling very conflicted, Chi Jingyuan simply skipped the topic and naturally talked about the recent situation in the music industry.
"A lot of groups have made comebacks recently..." Jung Eun-ji was scrolling through her phone, and she sighed when she saw something: "It seems like your EXO sub-group is also going to debut?"
"The music industry is really active now."
Chi Jingyuan nodded and agreed: "Baekhyun and his friends will release a song at the end of this month."
Recently, there are groups announcing their comeback almost every day at the end of October. They are all very well-known and popular groups, including IOI next week, Twice and EXO-CBX the week after, and BALCKPINK VIXX and MAMAMOO later. Even Tara, who has not been seen for a long time, came out to join in the fun.
"It will be exciting to watch then~" His tone was somewhat gloating, as if he couldn't wait to see a group of popular groups fighting each other until blood flowed.
IOI's debut song just took off in the first half of the year when Twice's "Cheer Up" became a huge hit. This time, it just so happened that they happened to coincide with each other again. It really makes people suspect that this was a deliberate arrangement.
Twice was attacked by IOI and EXO. These two opponents are stronger than the other. If they fail miserably, I don’t know if some people will cry.
"Now when I see these juniors emerging one by one, it reminds me of when we first debuted... I feel like I've grown old."
Jung Eun-ji's expression suddenly looked a little bleak. She probably really felt the cruel and unpredictable changes in Kpop.
Chi Jingyuan immediately complained in his heart when he heard this.
I still remember you guys back then. Nowadays, female idols are prettier and have better figures than each other. Do you still remember how fat you were when you debuted? When I saw you at the Dream Concert, I thought you were a royal like me.
But of course he would not say such hurtful words to her face. Instead, he nodded in agreement and flattered her: "I think you, Apink, ended your promotion too early this time. You should continue to promote for a while and let these juniors see the demeanor of the seniors on stage... and their demeanor when applauding."
"Just be a bitch like that."
Zheng Endi laughed angrily and shook his head with a sneer.
There is no way this hangman didn’t know that Apink’s comeback was dismal, and they ended up ranking zero.
"……correct"
Not wanting to argue with this kind of person, Jung Eun-ji drank the last sip of coffee without wasting any of it. She wiped her mouth, remembered something, and asked, "Are you free tomorrow?"
"I have a day off tomorrow." Chi Jingyuan put down his coffee and shrugged.
"Didn't writer Kim Eun-sook say that your crew was very busy? They all went to Canada to shoot on location, and you're taking a day off?"
"You've been busy for so long, and you don't even have a day off? Do you know how late I've been working these past few days?" Chi Jingyuan asked indignantly, "And I'm going to be there the day after tomorrow."
"So what are you going to do tomorrow? We just happen to be on break, do you want to go out and play?" Jung Eun-ji looked at him with contempt, and then took the initiative to invite him: "Ha Young asked me to invite you out to sing last time."
"……Next time."
However, Chi Jingyuan shook his head without hesitation: "I have an appointment tomorrow."
"Tsk tsk..."
Zheng Enji was not dissatisfied with being rejected. Instead, she looked at Chi Jingyuan with a playful look on her face, and slurped her lips and said, "From the looks of you, are you dating a girl again?"
Without waiting for Chi Jingyuan's reply, she leaned forward, resting her chin on the back of her hand, and asked sarcastically, "Who is it this time, a girlfriend or a good friend?"
"Um……"
He raised his eyes pretentiously as if thinking, and then Chi Jingyuan squinted his eyes and smiled: "My dear friend from the demon family~"
"Oh?" Zheng Endi became interested after hearing this: "Last time you said you broke up with someone, and when did you get a girlfriend? I didn't even know..."
"Actually, I think it's a bit sudden, but, the feeling is here..." He smiled shyly, seeming a little embarrassed.
"Who is it?" Busan Han asked immediately.
Chi Jingyuan did not hide it. He stood up and sat next to Zheng Enji, and whispered Ming Jingnan's name to her: "It's Mina from Twice..."
"Twice?"
Seeing Jung Eun-ji's surprised and astonished eyes, Chi Jingyuan suddenly felt a sense of satisfaction. Then he took out his mobile phone, flipped through the album and found the photo of the two of them at the fireworks festival, and showed it to Jung Eun-ji: "Hey, that's how we met."
So many photos were taken at the fireworks festival, many of which were very sweet and full of atmosphere. Many of them were the scenes he had fantasized about in his mind when he was a middle school student. However, after returning, Chi Jingyuan couldn't find anyone to show off to. Today, he can finally show off in front of his good friends.
"Omo, Fireworks Festival?"
"You're all in Neon by chance? Do you have to be so romantic? Why do I feel like you planned this..."
"Mina xi looks really good in a yukata... Oh my god, look at this picture, she is so beautiful!"
Amid Zheng Endi's sighs and praises, Chi Jingyuan sat back in his seat with some pride. Just as he was about to say something, his phone suddenly vibrated.
I glanced down and saw that it was a text message from Ming Jingnan. I clicked it and saw that the girl had actually sent me a selfie.
In the photo, she is wearing a baseball cap with her curly brown bangs sticking out from the brim and tucked behind her ears. She is wearing the LG Twins uniform and is looking at the camera with a smile on her face. Even though she is wearing a baseball uniform and exudes the aura of a sporty girl, she still has her signature softness. The combination of the two makes people feel a little moved.
Ji Jingyuan knew that she would be the opening pitcher for LG Twins with Son Chaeyoung today... She must have arrived at the scene by now. After changing her clothes, she was bored and thought of her boyfriend.
Chi Jingyuan blinked and looked at the photo on his phone, clicked Save, then nodded, confirming what Zheng Endi said:
"It's quite beautiful."
…………
“…Eunji and I talked about you this afternoon when we were chatting on tvN. She kept praising you for being so pretty, as if she had been paid for it.
At dinner time, Ming Jingnan, who had just returned to the company after a busy day at work, was sitting on the sofa in the practice room, happily texting with her boyfriend.
She knew that Jung Eun-ji was a close friend of her boyfriend's. She was very happy to be praised like that. She immediately felt a little proud and dangled one leg over the sofa, "Eun-ji... Hehe."
"Well, I told her about us, and she said that next time we have the chance, she can call you and we can go out and play together."
"Okay~"
Seeing Chi Jingyuan say this, Ming Jingnan agreed without hesitation... Although she is a stay-at-home girl, she is very willing to get to know her boyfriend's friends, and being introduced to others as a "girlfriend" by Chi Jingyuan makes her feel excited and looking forward to it.
After she sent the message, she saw Minatozaki Sana sitting not far away playing with her phone. She suddenly remembered something and quickly tapped the screen: "By the way, Gen-chan, Sana-chan has found a place to eat, but she has to go to the all-night recording of "Hello National Talk Show" tonight, and she needs to rest when she comes back tomorrow morning, so the dinner time has been changed to the evening."
"Sure, I have time all day anyway."
Chi Jingyuan, who had already returned to the dormitory, was sitting on the sofa typing casually. Looking at Jin Zhongren who was walking past him, he suddenly paused and inexplicably thought of the brother's earnest request to him before.
He thought for a second and asked Ming Jingnan, "By the way, ask Sana if he should invite Jongin along. He asked me last time to invite him along if there's a chance..."
"Good~"
Mingjing Nan agreed, and then ran to Minatozaki Sana with her phone in hand, and asked in a low voice under the other's puzzled eyes: "Sana... Gen-chan asked me to ask you if you want to invite Kai to dinner tomorrow... It seems that he asked Gen-chan for a favor."
When she heard it was Chi Jingyuan, Minatozaki Sana quickly raised her head with bright eyes and looked expectant. However, after hearing this question, her face instantly fell and she looked as uncomfortable as if she had eaten shit.
She frowned and froze for a second. Without thinking, she started to complain in a shrill voice: "No, why is he going? I told you I don't have any feelings for him! Jingyuan Oppa is really... so annoying!"
"Ahhhhhh!!" Thinking that it was Chi Jingyuan who brought it up, she felt even more depressed. She stomped her feet hard again and shouted hysterically.
It was not until a few people nearby looked over curiously that she glared at Ming Jingnan sullenly, then pouting her lips in extreme anger and ignoring her.
"She said no!"
Mingjing Nan cautiously shrank his head back, secretly glanced at Minatozaki Sana, quickly replied, thought for a moment, and added: "I think Sana-chan doesn't seem to like Kai very much, so don't do this in the future."
"Forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything."
After seeing the reply, Chi Jingyuan glanced at Jin Zhongren in front of him and pursed his lips indifferently.
He was just asked to help out as a member of the same group.
"But if Sana doesn't come to dinner until the evening, then can we meet in the morning?"
Leaving Minatozaki Sana aside, Chi Jingyuan's eyes lit up when he thought of the change in plan: "There are a lot of things to do in the morning. If we get up a little earlier, we can even watch the sunrise together."
"Watch the sunrise? Sure, sure." Upon hearing that, Ming Jingnan immediately became excited.
As soon as the burden was gone, Chi Jingyuan's mind immediately became active: "If these places are crowded and inconvenient, we can also go to the international commercial district over in Longshan. There are many high-rise buildings with special open-air areas with good views... If necessary, I can also find a private observation deck."
"After watching the sunrise, let's go out for dinner together, and then go to my apartment. I've prepared everything, and we can play games together!"
"What game are you playing?"
The sultry girl Jiaojiao asked the question even though she knew the answer.
"You'll know when you get there~ I'll pick you up tomorrow morning."
"Hmm~"
……
The plan is good, but it can't keep up with the changes.
Chi Jingyuan looked at the heavy rain pouring down on the windshield and the wipers running so fast that he could not be careless for even a moment, and sighed deeply in helplessness.
It has been raining heavily in Seoul since midnight last night.
"Skip the previous steps and go back directly..."
