Chapter 835: As if about to cry~
"Because I already have a solo plan."
Chi Jingyuan's expression when speaking in the camera was very natural. His brief sentence seemed to be just about what he had eaten a few days ago tonight. However, the fans and viewers in the live broadcast room were suddenly shocked when they heard it, as if they had heard some shocking news.
Then the message barrage, which was already scrolling very fast, suddenly accelerated, and the frequency of scrolling was so fast that the shadows could not be seen.
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
"This is the best news I've heard this month! Subway song will be on hold for a bit!"
"I've heard a lot of rumors, but I didn't believe it. I didn't expect it to be true!!"
"Yuan crushes Kpop!"
“When will the solo be released?”
"..."
Chi Jingyuan's eyes were a little dazzled by the various messages. He carefully read through the messages and found the most meaningful question to reply: "When will the solo be released?" Well, as for the time... the solo plan was actually confirmed a long time ago, and preparations began a long time ago. The original plan was to release the song at the end of this year."
Before the fans could be happy, Chi Jingyuan pursed his lips and continued, "It's just that the preparation process later, well, the progress was not satisfactory, a little slow, mainly because of the song selection... Later, I took on the filming of "Goblin", which has occupied all my energy, plus the winter special that the team will prepare soon..."
“Can you tell me that?” Before Chi Jingyuan could finish his words, Wu Sehun interrupted him with a strange look in his eyes.
"Forehead……"
He then realized that he had leaked out another piece of news by speaking too quickly. He glanced at the barrage of comments and smiled awkwardly: "It should be okay... It happens every year at this time anyway, the fans all know it..."
"That's right~" Wu Sehun laughed, but his eyes were a little bit mean.
Glancing at him unkindly, Chi Jingyuan changed his expression and looked at the camera again: "...After all, it is my solo debut album, so I really need to treat it with all my energy and a lot of time to prepare. Now I really don't have time...So I probably won't be able to see it this year. If everything goes well, it should be able to meet you all around February of next year.
“You have to wait until next year!!”
"Although I am a little disappointed, I can understand it for the sake of filming."
"As long as Oppa's career gets better and better, it's OK!"
"Next year, Yuan will crush Kpop!"
After carefully reading the comments in the live broadcast room for a while, they were basically all full of support and surprise. Chi Jingyuan felt the fans' expectations and was very happy. He looked at the comments and began to answer: "What time in February? What's the specific time? I'm not sure about that yet. It depends on the preparation progress by then."
"What style? I can't tell you that yet."
"Will there be a Chinese version of Yuan's solo?" Chi Jingyuan keenly spotted a very eye-catching Chinese message from among the countless messages. After reading it, he suddenly laughed and nodded at the camera with smiling eyes: "Of course, there will be."
"When will Sehun go solo, um..."
"As for the songs? I wrote some of them myself, and many were provided by the company... But I will be the producer of this album myself, and I am a bit strict in choosing the songs, so the progress is a bit slow."
“It’s really strict.”
At this point, Wu Se-hun also interrupted: "I also listened to some songs in the music library, and some of them that I thought were very good were directly passed by him."
"Not really. It's mainly because it doesn't fit the style..."
Chi Jingyuan explained, and then his face fell as he looked at the group of comments that suddenly appeared because of this topic. "Hey mama!? Why are we talking about "hey mama!" again?"
“Is “Hey Mama!” one of the songs that was passed?”
"You must be strict and don't choose songs like 'Hey Mama!'"
Seeing that many people were playing CBX's hit song "Hey Mama!", Chi Jingyuan shook his head helplessly, smiled bitterly, and tried to defend the team: "To be honest, apart from other styling and style, I think "Hey Mama!" is actually pretty good."
As he said that, Chi Jingyuan started singing: "Although there is no date, how about a phone call~"
Wu Se-hun also had good rapport. He raised his eyebrows after hearing it and sang along with the background music with his electronic music: "What do you think about that~"
“What do you think about that~”
"The moonlight keeps calling us"
“What do you think about that~”
The two of them worked well together and sang the bridge before the chorus of "Hey Mama!" in a clear voice. After singing, Ji Jingyuan smacked his lips and savored it, and said seriously: "I think this part is really beautiful, and Baekhyun and his voices are also very charming."
“Why do I think it sounds really nice!”
"Yuan and Sehun's singing is really nice~"
"It turns out the wrong person was singing!"
"So what do you think of Twice's "TT"? "
Seeing that many fans of the song had just started to whip the corpse team again, Chi Jingyuan quickly changed the subject and found a barrage and read it out: "TT? Of course I like it too. It's very cute and full of energy. It's a song that makes people feel very happy after listening to it."
Speaking of "TT", Ji Jingyuan thought for a moment and added: "Actually, Jinyoung played the original demo of "TT" to me a long time ago. I remember that the demo at that time didn't sound as impressive as it does now. Twice is really suitable for this style and performed this song very well."
"Which part of "TT" do you like best?"
Chi Jingyuan was slightly stunned when he saw this question, then he raised his eyebrows and started singing directly with his throat pinched: "As if I am about to cry~"
"It doesn't seem like it, it doesn't seem like it's me~"
While singing, he clenched his fists and moved them sideways in front of his head in an artificial manner, perfectly replicating the naivety of the original singer, Momo Hirai.
“Hahaha…” Wu Sehun, who was watching, burst out laughing: “You sang really well, why don’t you join Twice!”
"Don't you think this part is magical?" Chi Jingyuan made a fist gesture again, as if he was still a little unsatisfied.
What impressed him most after listening to the whole song "TT" was not the parts of his girlfriend Minami Nagai and Chou Tzuyu, nor was it Lim Nayeon who has a very nice voice, but rather the part of Hirai Momo who has very few parts.
Her voice is so distinctive that you can tell it's her the moment you hear it.
"This part about MOMO is really interesting."
"Yuan's singing is so cute, even cuter than the original singer!"
"I suddenly want to see what kind of expression MOMO will have when she sees Yuan cover!"
While talking about "TT", Chi Jingyuan suddenly saw a long message: "Yuan, what do you think of the song "Cheer Up" you wrote for Twice, which ranked far higher than all EXO songs in the annual music chart this year? It even has a chance to win the annual championship."
"Forehead……"
As soon as Chi Jingyuan read it out, he felt that he had made a mistake. As the barrage of comments suddenly took off, Wu Sehun next to him also laughed out loud.
EXO has released two albums from the beginning of this year to now, but the original and re-released four title songs as well as the pre-release songs did not perform very well on the music charts.
Although the most popular and hottest "Monster" and "Blood Sweat and Tears" exploded with extraordinary strength, due to the inherent limitations of dance music, the follow-up was not very long-lasting and their names dropped quickly. According to the trend, it is estimated that the landing point on the annual list will be between 30 and 60... It may even be worse than "Spring Day" released last year.
The worst case is "Lotto", which was out of the charts very early, and may not even make it into the top 100 of the year list...
However, the song "Miss You" with the best sound source performed well. The performance of the sound source is excellent, and it has always maintained a high number of listeners. It has also remained in the inner circle on the annual list. According to the listening habits of people on the peninsula, this song is expected to become popular again after winter, and it is possible that it will enter the top ten or even top five of the annual list.
...For a boy band, this source of music is unimaginable, a very outstanding achievement, not only for "Miss You", but also for "Monster" and "Blood Sweat & Tears".
However, Twice's "cheer up" has an extremely powerful sound source. It has been ranked in the top two of the annual charts since the release of the song half a year ago. It has been fighting hard with Gfriend's "Time Passes" for the top spot in the annual chart. Recently, due to the popularity of their comeback "TT", the number of listeners of "cheer up" has increased again.
If nothing unexpected happens, the top two in this year's annual list will be the duos of these two girl groups, and Twice has a great chance of winning the annual championship.
Everything is afraid of comparison. EXO's pretty good audio suddenly seems a bit inferior in front of "Cheer Up"... and this song was written and produced by Chi Jingyuan, which immediately added a lot of drama and became much more conspicuous.
"Qingjia, Qingia, hahaha, Junmyeon asked this question last time we had dinner together." Wu Sehun's arrogant laughter came from the side. He patted the sofa twice, leaned over and spoke to the camera: "As an XO, the songs we wrote for others have surpassed our own. Isn't that a bit too much? Hey, seriously, why don't you really join Twice? You sing so well..."
As he said this, Wu Se-hun directly imitated Chi Jingyuan's appearance just now, raised his right hand in front of him and sang the part of Hirai Momo: "As if I am about to cry~"
"It doesn't seem like it, it doesn't seem like it's me~ Hahahahahaha..."
"This one……"
He was filled with indignation at this person for taking advantage of his misfortune, but when facing the members, Chi Jingyuan just made up an excuse to deal with it. But now facing the fans' questions, he really couldn't find a good answer.
Chi Jingyuan was actually also puzzled as to how a very ordinary song could have overshadowed EXO. Their results were unexpectedly good and they might even win the annual championship.
Since their debut, EXO has only won the annual championship once last year with the hit "Boy with Luv", and it was very thrilling, almost losing to "Bang Bang Bang"
Chi Jingyuan forced a laugh and said, "Um, congratulations to Twice. I'm really happy to see that "Cheer Up" has achieved such good results."
"Okay, we're getting ready to end the show. This is the last question." Seeing that the comments were getting out of control and time was almost up, Chi Jingyuan quickly changed the subject and prepared to say goodbye.
After looking at the comments for a while, he chose a more meaningful one and read it out: "Will there be a stage for "Really Really"? Will there be a promotion?"
"Well, there should be a stage. We'll see if there are any invitations to music shows. If there are, we can communicate with JYP and there shouldn't be any problem."
"As for promotions, I'll just go with the flow. I don't think I'll go out of my way to participate."
Having said that, Chi Jingyuan thought for a moment and added:
"But we definitely won't be able to see it this week. We have to fly to Japan the day after tomorrow to prepare for the concert in Aichi. The earliest we can see it will have to wait until we get back..."
…………
"Well……"
After the live broadcast ended and the camera was turned off, Chi Jingyuan and Wu Sehun both breathed a sigh of relief.
Although both of them were very relaxed during the live broadcast and could talk about anything, the feeling was completely different with or without a camera.
"After what I said today, the fans and the sub-team should calm down a bit."
Hearing Wu Sehun's obviously helpless voice, Chi Jingyuan also responded slowly: "It should be, some fans may be better... but there will definitely be people who continue to scold, but we have tried our best, and the rest can't be controlled."
"Hey……"
In the live broadcast just now, both Ji Jingyuan and Wu Sehun talked about CBX specifically and deliberately, and guided their fans a little bit, which can be regarded as fulfilling their duties as members of the same team.
"By the way, are you sure you don't want to go to the Halloween party tomorrow?"
As if remembering something, Wu Sehun looked over and asked.
When Chi Jingyuan heard this, he was stunned. As if by reflex, he suddenly saw Bae Joo-hyun wearing a hat and round-frame glasses, wearing overalls, and dressed up as Arale with her eyes curved and smiling... This was her outfit at the SM Halloween party last year. I remember that Chi Jingyuan was sitting with her at that time...
But he quickly came to his senses, shook his head and said casually: "No, the crew has been busy with scenes these past two days... and this year's Halloween party is not interesting."
Every year on Halloween Eve, October 31st, SM will gather the company's free artists and employees to hold a Halloween party. Ji Jingyuan has participated in it for several years. He has a lot of fun every time and can meet many company friends including senior Yoona. After the party, he can upload photos and become a trending search. It is a good change in his busy schedule.
However, this year is different. As more and more information is revealed, the "gate" incident in the political arena of the peninsula has intensified. Recently, there have been several large-scale demonstrations in Seoul alone, and the atmosphere of tension and weirdness is everywhere.
As the political arena is like this, other walks of life have also become cautious, especially the entertainment industry.
If it were previous years, many idols and actors on the peninsula would have uploaded various cosplay photos on SNS to celebrate Halloween and interact with fans, but this year it seemed particularly dull. Not only was there not a single photo to be seen, there were even few mentions.
Because most planning and management companies have issued internal SNS warnings, reminding their artists to be careful with their words and actions. SM is the same. Ji Jingyuan and his EXO group received a special reminder from their agent a few days ago... a very serious one.
It was not fun to play in this kind of atmosphere, and the crew was also quite busy, so Chi Jingyuan was too lazy to participate this year.
...I just don’t know what Bae Joo-hyun will dress up like if she participates this year.
"If you're not going, Baekhyun and the others won't go either. It seems like DO has something going on too. Tsk tsk, it feels like things are suddenly boring." Wu Sehun sighed, seeming a little bored.
"Are you sick? Who would go to such an occasion and play with the members of the team?"
Chi Jingyuan glanced at him, shook his head in disdain, and looked at the phone that had just vibrated.
Coincidentally, both Ming Jingnan and Zhou Ziyu sent a text message, both after the live broadcast ended, with less than a minute difference. I guess they might have just watched their live broadcast.
It's really interesting, Twice is busy together when they are busy, and they are idle together when they are free...
Zhou Ziyu is very funny. She actually sent two selfies directly, and they were photos of her own feet...
In the first photo, she was wearing denim shorts and sitting on a stool with her legs stretched straight out. Her big round legs were fully displayed in front of Chi Jingyuan, tightly fitted together, and on her feet she was wearing a pair of small white shoes engraved with a small fish pattern, with the GUCCI logo on it very conspicuous.
Apparently, this girl was showing off the gift she just received...
When Chi Jingyuan came back from the fashion week, he brought her a lot of gifts, but when he was about to ask his agent to give them to her, Zhou Ziyu insisted that he give them to her personally... As a result, they didn't meet at all in the meantime, and it has been delayed until now.
Thinking it would be a waste to keep it in his hands all the time, Chi Jingyuan found a free time yesterday and went to their dormitory to hand the thing to her. Without saying a word, he rushed back to the crew exhausted.
Chi Jingyuan gave her three pairs of white shoes in total. They were all the same style, but the DIY patterns on them were different. This little fish pattern was specially picked by him... It seemed that she liked this pair the best.
She was obviously very satisfied with the gift Chi Jingyuan brought her... In the second selfie, the girl's entire face was squeezed together, her eyes were squinted into a line, her big white teeth were exposed, and she was smiling like a flower.
It’s just that the angle of the selfie is a little weird, and the whole person looks a little weird.
"Super ugly……"
He replied to her casually, and then started chatting with Mingjing Nan. His girlfriend must have watched his live broadcast, and she started making fun of him for covering MOMO's "TT" part.
After chatting for a while, Chi Jingyuan suddenly remembered something: "By the way, Xiaonan, have you seen "Your Name"? "
"What about Kimi no Nawa? I heard from my friends that it's very good and broke the box office record of Japanese anime." Mingjing Nan obviously also knew about this movie: "But I haven't seen it yet... I want to go see it with Gen-chan!"
There was one thing Ming Jingnan didn't say... She deliberately didn't read it, just waiting for Chi Jingyuan to say it.
"I saw the behind-the-scenes footage and I'm quite looking forward to it, but Peninsula hasn't been released yet. I checked and they said we have to wait until January next year... When it's released, we'll go watch it together."
"Yeah, okay! (Penguin kiss)"
Just as he was planning to watch a movie with his girlfriend, Chi Jingyuan's cell phone suddenly vibrated and a call came in.
When he saw the caller, his face fell.
It was his agent An Chengyuan who called... He called not long after the live broadcast ended. Without a doubt, he came to complain about the various revelations and leaks made by Chi Jingyuan during the live broadcast.
Chi Jingyuan just broke the news about his upcoming solo and EXO's winter album. Although these are not very secretive things, the news has been circulating in the outside world for a long time...but it did disrupt the company's publicity arrangements.
He sighed and answered the phone. As expected, An Chengyuan came just for this, just as he had expected.
Fortunately, he still received some special treatment. If it were other members, they might have been severely scolded, but for him, all he could do was complain.
...Listening to the new agent, who had a good temper, trying to think of a curse for a long time on the phone but couldn't say it, and finally sighing and groaning, Chi Jingyuan felt a little embarrassed.
Since the fault was his own, he could only smile, apologize awkwardly, and promise to be more careful in the future, thus letting the matter go.
"By the way, Jingyuan, I heard from Baekhyun that you really like playing League of Legends."
After talking about the live broadcast, An Chengyuan seemed to have other important things to do, so he changed his tone and asked.
"Ah?" He was stunned when his agent asked him this question. He blinked and said, "Yeah, I like it very much... What's wrong, brother? You play it too?"
"Ani oh."
An Chengyuan denied it repeatedly, and then explained the whole story; "We recently had an event with a live broadcast platform in the mainland. We will arrange for several artists to participate in the "League of Legends" entertainment competition organized by them. From then on, we will broadcast live on the platform every week until December, which will last for two months. The project is called "SM Huya Super League"
"The mainland? Can we still go there now?" Chi Jingyuan was even more surprised when he heard this.
"It's not possible offline, but it's possible through live broadcast..."
"This is quite interesting..."
Chi Jingyuan was very interested in the content of this event. Firstly, he liked playing games, and secondly, he hadn't met with mainland fans for a long time and couldn't go offline. It would be really nice to chat with Xiaguo fans through live broadcast.
After just a moment of consideration, he frowned again: "But... if I have to broadcast my game live every week, I don't have the time."
"Of course I know you don't have time, so the company rejected it from the beginning. In fact, the live broadcast platform there strongly requested you to come at the beginning... Heechul and Baekhyun were arranged later."
An Chengyuan said calmly, "There will be one or two episodes where we will invite guests. If you are interested, we are planning to let you take over for Baekhyun for one or two episodes and play with Heechul and the guests... After all, we cannot ignore the strong request from the partner company over there."
Hearing this, Chi Jingyuan's eyes lit up, and he agreed without much thought:
"That's no problem... By the way, who is the guest?"
…………
While Chi Jingyuan and An Chengyuan were chatting about their upcoming schedule, the solo news he revealed during the live broadcast also spread out at an extremely fast speed.
EXO, Yuan, solo, these keywords connected together, not to mention other places, but it is definitely a strong earthquake for the music industry.
At this time, in the Red Velvet dormitory, Sun Shengwan saw the message and blinked and looked at Bae Joo-hyun next to him:
"Jingyuan is going to have a solo?"
