Chapter 258: You Will Be Scolded When You Go Back(1/2)
Chapter 258 I will be scolded when I go back
The next day, Chi Jingyuan made an appointment in the morning and went to the composer Kenzie to participate in the arrangement work of the title song "overdose" for this comeback.
Kenzie is nearly forty years old this year. She is a well-known composer in SM Entertainment who was discovered by Lee Soo Man. She has produced many excellent works since her career and has also created many hit songs. She has been a member of several popular groups including TVXQ, SJ, Girls' Generation, etc.
He has written songs and has a high status in the company.
And she is no longer just a composer, it is said that she is also serving as a director of SM Corporation. Although she may not have much power over operations, at least her status is here.
However, she was very enthusiastic about Chi Jingyuan. She was full of praise for his song "Roar" and praised Chi Jingyuan's creative skills.
When we get along with each other, Kenzie does not look like a middle-aged woman. She looks quite cheerful and laughs all the time. After work, she will curiously ask some private things about Chi Jingyuan.
It was only after Chi Jingyuan officially took over the arrangement that they discovered that the song "Overdose" should have been completed a long time ago. It was just that they left a few blanks in the arrangement and deliberately left no one to fill it in. At a glance, it was clear that the company had specially given it to Chi Jingyuan.
What was left was so that he could participate in the creation process of the title song, and also allow him to write his name on the song signature.
It can be seen that SM really values Chi Jingyuan very much. This kind of initiative to promote artists and sign their names is extremely rare in SM, especially for semi-new groups like EXO, who have been debuting for many years.
Basically none of our seniors receive this kind of treatment.
Feeling this kind of attention and optimism, Chi Jingyuan was actually quite happy and enjoyed it. In addition, he liked the song "overdose" very much, so he naturally used all his strength to start working hard.
In this way, his schedule became Kenzie's music room, JYP, and EXO's practice room, running back and forth in a non-stop cycle. From time to time, he would go out for a run with the team. His life was extremely fulfilling for a while.
.
Fortunately, the work on several lines went smoothly. The arrangement of the title song itself was actually too difficult, but Chi Jingyuan also put in a lot of effort in order to shine.
Needless to say, practicing on stage in the practice room is their specialty.
JYP's collaborative single is also progressing very quickly. Bae Suzy really got the idea. Although her voice still doesn't have the full emotion, it already has the sense of ambiguity they have been pursuing, so the recording
The progress is also very fast. At this rate, the recording work will be completed in a few days and the MV can be shot.
A week passed in a blink of an eye, and January 16th came.
After several days of warm-up and debut preview videos, and yesterday's title song MV released, on the 16th, JYP announced that its boy group GOT7 would officially debut, and held a showcase to show off their debut stage, which attracted many fans and audiences.
Go watch.
However, not long after this news was released, when JYP's publicity department wanted to see the reaction from the Internet, another even more exciting news stole their attention.
Loen Entertainment, JYP's major shareholder, announced today that it was selling off all its JYP shares after seeking to take control of JYP, but was unsuccessful due to Park Jin Young's manipulation of the company's backdoor listing.
The major shareholder's withdrawal and statement caused investors who didn't know the truth to follow suit, causing JYP's stock price to plummet wildly, and the entire company fell into panic.
The attention of the outside world was also attracted by this news, and the news about the debut with GOT7 was completely covered up in it, which meant that no one cared about it.
Although several unknown companies later quietly absorbed all the shares they sold after Loen's exit, pulling JYP's stock price back a lot, they still failed to restore the confidence of investors and the recognition of them by the industry market.
, JYP felt a little precarious for a while.
At this time, Chi Kyung-won was sitting on a small sofa against the wall in the temporary backstage lounge of the Peace Hall of Kyung Hee University in Seoul, where the Golden Disk Awards will be held today. He had finished styling and leaned back comfortably with his legs crossed.
There, he was holding his mobile phone and looking at the screen.
"What are you looking at?"
Next to him, Wu Shixun came over and sat on the armrest of the sofa. He turned his head and glanced at Chi Jingyuan's mobile phone and asked.
"Watch the MV for the title song of JYP's new boy group that debuted today."
Chi Jingyuan looked at the screen without turning his head and replied.
"JYP's new boy group? They debuted today? Why didn't I know about it?"
Wu Shixun sounded a little puzzled, as if he had never heard the news at all.
This is also the downfall of GOT7. Both the preview news and the official debut announcement were not suppressed by the more exciting news. The former encountered the exposure of Lin Yoona's relationship, and the latter encountered the plummeting stock price of JYP.
Only fans who have been paying attention to them and passers-by who are interested in this news will know this news. It is really tragic.
"How is this new group?" Wu Shixun glanced at them.
"The song is just average...the MV is also average." Chi Jingyuan shook his head slightly and gave his own evaluation.
After listening to got7's title song "Girls Girls Girls", Chi Jingyuan felt that the song was quite bland. It repeated several beats endlessly to emphasize the toxicity. You can't tell which is the verse and which is the chorus unless you distinguish carefully.
, there were not many ups and downs throughout the whole process.
He felt that this song was not as good as EXO's debut song "MAMA". Although "MAMA" was scolded at that time, which caused EXO to be confused after their debut, it also has its own highlights, at least the sense of religion and ritual left a strong impression on people.
Quite profound.
Moreover, the appearance of "MAMA" is so ugly that people can't help but scold it non-stop. This is also a skill.
"Girls Girls Girls" is no good. The style is not outstanding but not ugly, just mediocre. After listening to it, there is almost no impression except a few beats that are repeated endlessly.
It seems that this song was composed, composed and arranged by Park Jin Young himself, but the quality does not seem to be as good as Chi Kyung Won imagined.
Obviously, the songs Park Jin Young wrote for Missa are all very good, especially Missa's debut song which won the Grand Prize in less than 5 months, which shows that the quality is extraordinary.
I didn't expect the men's team to be at such a level, which is a bit disappointing.
After watching the entire MV, Chi Jingyuan had no impression of the Got7 members except for the one who kept flipping somersaults.
However, he did find a few familiar faces in the MV. Several of the people participating in it were members of JYP's new girl group 6mix. For example, Yu Jeongyeon and Rabbit Yaji Kyungwon were all seen in the MV. Rabbit
Ya is also the heroine of this MV.
Although not very beautiful, she looks quite recognizable.
"Jingyuan, come here and tell you about the awards ceremony tonight..."
Li Chenghuan waved at the door. Chi Jingyuan glanced at the words, put down his mobile phone and followed Jin Junmian and others out.
…………
In 2014, the 28th Golden Disc Awards officially started at four o'clock in the afternoon.
Every year, the Golden Disc Awards are held in two parts. In the first half, various awards and grand prizes are awarded in the music department, and in the second half, awards and grand prizes in the recording department are awarded.
And the first half of this year's awards ceremony will not start consecutively. The first half of this year's awards ceremony will start at four o'clock in the afternoon, while the second half will start at eight o'clock in the evening.
Several awards were presented in the first half, and in the middle of the show, EXO and FX, who had already prepared, came up to perform a special cover stage of "A Song Collection of Past Awards".
Team M performed "Spell" first, then came down to wait, FX went up to perform "The Boys", and then Team K performed "Sorry Sorry". Finally, all the two groups took the stage together for the curtain call.
Ji Jingyuan and EXO members are all wearing formal black suits and leather shoes on stage. They look handsome and serious, and they feel very good.
It's just a pity that Shuai is handsome enough, but his performance just now had some flaws.
Team K didn't have any problems. On M's side, Baekhyun and Tao both made obvious mistakes during their stage performances. More than one part danced wrongly. I don't know if they were nervous or something else. The stage was obviously very busy.
I'm familiar with it, I've been practicing it for a long time recently.
After getting off the stage, he returned to the lounge. As soon as he entered the door, Chi Jingyuan felt a sense of low pressure. When he looked up, he saw that Lee Seung Hwan and Team M's manager Lin Hyun Kyun were standing inside with unkind expressions, staring at the returning EXO members with sharp eyes.
After everyone came in, their eyes were fixed on Baekhyun and Tao who had just made a mistake.
These two people also knew that they had made a serious mistake and would definitely be scolded, so they both hung their heads and did not dare to speak. The other members also stood there silently, fearing that they would become the victims.
After watching them for a while, Li Chenghuan did not curse, but said: "You will go on stage later. There will be performances and awards in the second half. Get ready quickly. We will talk about the rest later."
He was obviously worried that EXO would have a very important stage next, and it would be even worse if he scolded the members and made a mistake. Lee Seung Hwan glared at Baekhyun and Tao fiercely, and at the same time glanced at the other members standing next to him:
"Such stage mistakes can happen. You guys have really been slacking off recently."
"..."
The members remained silent and did not speak.
"Forget it, let's go change clothes first."
Li Chenghuan waved his hand and walked out with Lin Xuanjun.
After they went out, several people took a long breath. Tao's sweat had dripped from his forehead to the tip of his nose, while Baekhyun exaggeratedly patted his chest with a scared expression.
"What's going on? I didn't make any mistakes during the rehearsal, but it was like this during the official performance..."
"Remember to treat us to dinner, because you two will definitely be scolded when we go back."
Park Chanyeol stood aside and curled his lips, reminding him unkindly.
"I don't know what happened, I suddenly forgot my movements."
Baekhyun frowned, looking helpless and innocent.
"Forget it, we'll talk about it when we go back. Don't affect your mood. We have a performance later. Let's change clothes first."
Seeing that the atmosphere was not very good, Jin Junmyeon clapped his hands, stood up and said a few words. The members did not complain anymore and quickly made preparations.
…………
EXO only had this cover stage in the entire first half, and their main stage and awards were all concentrated in the second half.
In the first half, the grand prize in the music department was finally awarded to PSY.
psy released a new single "Gentleman" in April 2013, but its influence and popularity are far inferior to his "Gangnam Style" that became a global hit in 2012.
However, "Gangnam Style" successfully spread his reputation and became a well-known artist in the peninsula. This year's "Gentleman" took advantage of this residual power. Although his results were far behind last year's,
The objective evaluation is pretty good.
To be continued...
