Chapter 502(1/2)
Just think about it
Author: Chicken and rabbit in the same cage
Chi Jingyuan took the word score and read it carefully from the beginning.
Li Zhien had already sent the lyrics of this song "Leon" to them a few days ago when the song was being written. He had already read it and basically memorized it, but he hadn't assigned the part yet.
Chi Jingyuan thinks this song by IU is really good. The theme and lyrics are based on the classic movie "This Killer Is Not Too Cold" as a reference, and the overall style of the song has changed from the fresh style that IU has most often shown in the past.
The jazzy tone has an unusual sense of charm.
Chi Jingyuan paused for two seconds while looking at the song title at the top of the score sheet, feeling a little emotional in his heart.
It is indeed quite powerful, and she is worthy of being called the strongest female solo artist by many fans. Although it is mixed with many fans’ rainbow farts and idol filters, at least she has great ideas and strength in song creation.
It’s no wonder that we have been able to get out of the unfavorable situation of the past two years and are getting better and better.
Then looking down, each lyric is marked with who sang it. At a glance, basically most of the parts are from IU. As members of the group, Ji Kyung-won and Jung Hyung-don were assigned some rap and rap parts.
The chorus part adds up to less than two-fifths of all the lyrics.
In other words, in this song, he almost plays the role of Oh Sehun and Yoona's sunbaenim.
However, Chi Jingyuan has no objection to this.
Because they had actually communicated with each other in private before, the two songs of their group were composed and directed by Chi Jingyuan and Li Zhien respectively. The performance of the two songs naturally focused on these two people.
"Ryan" has Li Ji-eun as the core, and "Rooftop House" has Chi Jingyuan as the core.
And they all know that with the extremely high popularity of the "Infinite Challenge Music Festival", any song performed at the music festival will definitely attract widespread attention and even sweep the entire music charts. After all, the previous music festivals have basically been
In this way, this time the lineup is stronger and more popular, which will only make it more successful, so these two songs have basically reserved the position of 'hot song', and the potential is very great.
Although it is about a group singing songs together, the copyright of the songs has nothing to do with the group, but is in the hands of Li Zhien and Chi Jingyuan respectively. These two songs are not just performed once at the "Gayo Festival"
That's it, after the show ends and the group disbands, they will definitely perform this song frequently in commercial performances and even concerts, so the level of dedication is different from each other.
Therefore, in "Ryan", it is natural that Li Zhien takes over most of the parries.
The same is true for Chi Jingyuan in "Rooftop Room".
As for Jung Hyung Don, he is the MC to complete this program. He has no special pursuits in music and has not participated in the creation, so naturally he has no objections.
"fine."
"That's how we divide it."
After reading it, Chi Kyung-won and Jung Hyung-don didn't hesitate much. They both nodded to express that they had no objections, while IU smiled and looked a little embarrassed.
"...In addition to singing, this song focuses on the dance movements and the interaction between us. We have already figured out the choreography and designed a general performance process. I will demonstrate it to you later, Oppa
Hey Jingyuan, do you have any suggestions for stage effects?" When it came to work, although Li Zhien's face looked a little childish and he kept smiling, his style suddenly became confident and decisive.
"I think you, IU xi, will be the first to appear, and then take the elevator to quickly appear in Hengdong..." Chi Jingyuan thought for a while and made a suggestion casually, but he hesitated after finishing speaking: "However, the performance
There should be a lift in the venue over there, right?"
"Yes, right?" Li Zhien was also a little unsure, blinking and looking at Zheng Hengdon.
"Yes, I have specifically asked the program team, and this must be true." Zheng Hengdon quickly waved his hand to reassure them: "Isn't it going to be recorded tomorrow? The content of that day is to determine the order of performances and the right to use stage effects."
"That's fine... We will make a lift to make a quick debut, which can highlight the key points and bring some surprises to the audience..." Chi Jingyuan nodded, and then suggested: "Then since it is based on "This Killer Is Not Possible"
"Too Cold" is the theme, so naturally you have to play a character in it, right? I imitate it to a certain extent in makeup and clothes..."
Several people discussed the performance content of "Leon" seriously for a while, and then started talking about "Rooftop Room".
Chi Jingyuan had already divided the parts of "Rooftop Room" before and sent them an email notification. They also confirmed that there were no problems or comments from each other.
Similar to "Leon", in "Rooftop House" it is Ji Kyung-won's turn to occupy most of the part
"The band naturally has to divide the responsibilities, but with three people, it's a little less..." Chi Jingyuan looked around the two people in front of him, and then looked at IU: "Then there will be a lead singer, a drummer, and a
…”
"Guitar!" IU smiled and raised her hand: "Or electric guitar."
"OK, then guitar."
Naturally, the musical girl plays the guitar. Chi Jingyuan made an OK gesture, then looked at Zheng Hengdon: "Brother, can you play the drums?"
"Well, it will be a bit better, but..." Zheng Hengdun looked confused.
"You don't have to be too specialized. Just remember the beat and follow the rhythm. As long as you want that sense of involvement, that kind of feeling that makes others think you are good at playing, that kind of feeling, brother, do you understand?" Chi Jingyuan saw his expression,
He waved his hands to show that he didn't need to be too professional, and then made continuous gestures with his hands, trying to describe the feeling.
Zheng Hengdun knew what it meant as soon as he saw it, and couldn't help laughing: "That's no problem, I'm the best at this."
"OK, then it's decided. I'm the lead singer, IU Xi is the guitarist, Hyung Don is the drummer... Actually, I really want to be the drummer..."
Chi Jingyuan glanced at Zheng Hengdon with a little envy. He could also play drums but was not proficient in it. However, he always thought playing drums was very cool, but he never had the chance to perform on the stage. He was serious on the stage.
This was his first time performing in a band.
"With a band, there are no moves or stage effects. It's mainly about the flow of the performance. My idea is to take the first lyric version of the main chorus, with the accompaniment a little lower, and sit on a stool and sing it first, and then go into the second verse.
Suddenly the key is raised, and when the rhythm speeds up, stand up again and set off some fireworks at that time, brother, there should be fireworks, right?"
"Well, there should be."
"OK, let's set off fireworks to enhance the atmosphere, and then after this period we all act a little more relaxed, enthusiastic and bright... As for the costumes, I have two ideas now. One is to wear something more casual and hip-hop, which will reflect the overall look.
One is the style of a campus band, and the other is a casual suit, using a more formal outfit to contrast the brightness of the song..."
At this point, Chi Jingyuan started to talk a lot. After finishing the song, he also conceived a relatively complete stage performance process. In general, he had already thought of it, but there were still some details that he had not yet determined.
Li Zhien and Zheng Hengdon also put forward a lot of opinions, which can be considered as some useful supplements.
Chi Jingyuan feels that the quality of his group's songs "Leon" and "Rooftop Room" are really high. Because he hasn't heard the songs of other groups, he doesn't know which group writes better songs.
, but compared with the previous songs in the music industry, he really thinks he is a lot ahead.
And comparing these two songs...
He still prefers "Rooftop Room".
After the discussion, the formal practice began. Following the dance teacher of LOEN who had already prepared, the three of them began to learn the choreography of the song "Leon".
Chi Jingyuan is an idol, and he usually dances the most complex and intense boy group dances. This level of choreography is not difficult for him. He has almost mastered it after watching it twice and dancing along a few times.
They were busy until noon. The three people who had just finished the process with the backup dancers wiped the sweat from their foreheads, sat down at the small coffee table on the far left side of the practice room, entered the lunch time, and began to eat the takeout that IU's manager had just bought.
.
The VJ filmed by the "Infinite Challenge" program team was always carrying a camera and faithfully recording from the side.
To be honest, even though there was a VJ filming today, Chi Jingyuan felt after practicing all morning that the three of them did not have the professional sense of doing a program, and their behavior was quite natural. It was no different from getting along in private.
"Well, there should be no problem with Jingyuan, right?" IU took a spoon and stirred the bibimbap in front of her, swallowed the food in her mouth and talked about the practice just now: "As for Oppa Hyungdon, this dance is good for you
It shouldn't be too slow... I also participated in the choreography of this song, and I didn't do any complicated movements or positions."
"Well, it's okay...I'll try my best."
Zheng Hengdun didn't say it was difficult, nor did he say it wasn't difficult, he just expressed his attitude.
"Pfft..." Seeing the indomitable expression on his face, Chi Jingyuan, who was eating, couldn't help laughing.
"...By the way, I just wanted to say it when I got the lyrics a few days ago. The lyrics of Jingyuan's "Rooftop Room" are really great." After chatting for a while, Li Zhien might have eaten enough, but he kept
While playing with the spoon and not eating much, she suddenly remembered something and her eyes lit up, and she looked at Chi Jingyuan who was eating happily next to her.
"Well, I also think it is really well written and very poetic. You can think of the picture when you see it." Hearing this, Zheng Hengdun also stopped his chopsticks, nodded in agreement, and gave a thumbs up with his right hand:
“Jing Yuan’s ability in writing lyrics is truly Zzang!”
"Especially this line, 'You said you wanted to see the stars and held my hand, and the moonlight suddenly shone in my eyes, but there was not a single star in the sky.'" Li Zhien seemed to really like these lyrics, and was a little curious.
Looking at Chi Jingyuan: "Reading it gives people a sad and romantic feeling. The picture is really beautiful. Is this sentence from Jingyuanxi the plot of any TV series? I'll go check it out."
"Yes." Chi Jingyuan nodded with a smile: "In "The Producer"."
"Ahahaha..." Li Zhien laughed out loud when he heard this.
"The Producer" is a KBS drama starring Lee Ji-eun this year, with Kim Soo-hyun, Cha Tae-hyun and Kong Hyo-jin. It was widely welcomed by young people as soon as it was aired, and the response was very good.
This is also Lee Ji-eun's first appearance in a TV series after the "Beautiful Man" hit in 2013. Unexpectedly, he became a success all of a sudden, which to a large extent wiped away the dark history of his previous failure.
As soon as she heard it, she knew that Chi Jingyuan was joking and teasing her. She also secretly praised her in front of the camera, put down her chopsticks and wiped her mouth. Li Zhien glanced at Chi Jingyuan with a smile: "I'm serious.
!”
"If it's true..."
Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but slow down his chewing speed, as if he had thought of this lyric, or the source of inspiration for this song.
In front of my eyes, I couldn't help but picture the two of them driving outside that night because Zhou Ziyu was under great pressure and was in a bad mood, and the conversation they had when they finally stopped to look at the stars.
"Why are there no stars tonight?"
"It's hard to see stars in urban areas."
"Have you watched too many TV series? Do you want to find a rooftop room so that you can sit on it and admire the moon?"
