Peninsula Asteroid

Although Girls’ Generation’s performance and statistics have declined significantly after experiencing various turmoil last year, their fame and nationality are still there, and the golden signboard of the most successful girl group is still shining there. As the first solo member of Era, SM Company attaches great importance to Taeyeon's first solo album.

After all, not only Taeyeon, but all the remaining members have more or less added solo requirements in their contract renewals, and if Taeyeon's solo is successful, it will also be a very important start for the entire team.

In addition, because of popularity, singing skills and other reasons, SM company is most optimistic about Kim Taeyeon.

Therefore, in addition to arranging Chi Jingyuan as the producer, Li Xiuman also personally served as the album producer to coordinate. In addition, he also specially invited a British professional composition and production team that had cooperated with the company to work with them. The included songs that have been delineated for selection are also purchased from well-known European and American musicians, and the resources and budget given by various aspects can be said to be very rich.

To be honest, some of Chi Jingyuan's current professional skills, including production experience, are still inferior to those of these music producers who have been immersed in music for many years. In the past few offline and video meetings to discuss various matters of Taeyeon's solo In fact, he also learned a lot from other people.

However, compared with the standard process and seasoned experience in art creation, in many cases, the accidental burst of inspiration may appear more important.

Following the feeling welling up in his heart, Chi Jingyuan was operating the music synthesis equipment in front of him while writing and drawing on the paper from time to time. But slowly and harmoniously gathered together unconsciously.

"Well……"

Having been busy for several hours, Chi Jingyuan raised his head, looked at the half-finished piece in front of him, and let out a soft breath.

Although it was only a semi-finished first draft, he was quite satisfied with the melody he had just composed.

However, his satisfaction is only one aspect, and the master has to feel OK.

He casually flipped through the notebook that was placed next to him, the notebook that Taeyeon gave him, Chi Jingyuan thought for a while and then took out his mobile phone to look at it, it was already afternoon.

I don't know if Kim Taeyeon's sister is in the company at this time, Chi Jingyuan thought about it for a while, and then found her phone and dialed it.

...

"P,A,R,T,Y~~~~P,A,R,T,Y!"

In the practice room of Girls' Generation in the SM company building, the eight members are seriously rehearsing in front of the mirror for their upcoming comeback.

The whole practice room can only hear the music playing, footsteps on the wooden floor, and some tired and slightly panting sounds. They have been practicing since they finished eating at noon. Up to now, they have exhausted a lot of energy and everyone is tired. no.

However, they are all veterans who have debuted for seven or eight years. They are already used to this kind of work intensity, and they know what they should do now. The interludes of swaying and moving positions also show the tacit understanding accumulated over the years of cooperation and hard practice.

"...Okay, let's take a break."

When everyone was exhausted and was sweating profusely even though the air conditioner was turned on in the practice room, they finally heard the fairy sound announcing a rest. The sound was like the flood valve being opened. The young members who were dancing immediately fell down, and several of them were directly spread out on the floor without any image.

After a short break, those who get drinks get drinks, those who blow the air conditioner blow the air conditioner, and...

"Taeyeon, do you want to go to the bathroom together?"

Hwang Mi Young wiped her sweat with a tissue, and then extended an invitation to Kim Taeyeon who was opposite.

"I……"

Kim Taeyeon, who was sitting there, was just about to reply when the phone in her hand vibrated at the right time. She frowned and glanced at the caller, then immediately blinked between her brows, gestured to Huang Meiying and connected directly.

"What happened to Jing Yuan?"

She didn't even say the polite 'Yo Bu Sai Yo', she directly called out the other party's name to get to the point, both the address and the tone seemed very familiar.

After hearing this, the sisters next to her couldn't help but glance at Kim Taeyeon.

"now?"

"Okay, I see, it's in your music room... I'll go there now."

After exchanging a few words quickly, Taeyeon hung up the phone, the expression on her face became clearer, and she jumped up from the ground quickly.

"Go to the bathroom by yourself...Jing Yuan has something to do with me, I want to go there...If you don't come back later, you can practice first..."

Kim Taeyeon stood up and briefly explained to Hwang Miyoung and the members next to her, but she didn't specifically say what was going on.

They are already very familiar with the dance of the prelude song "party", and they have been practicing for so long since noon. The loss of one of her will not have much impact, because it is very common to have one or two people missing to practice occasionally in private affairs or schedules.

Like the previous two months before senior Yun'er finished the filming, seven people were always practicing dance when they were young.

"In such a hurry?" Huang Meiying pouted curiously as she watched her relative's back leaving the practice room with her short legs thumping.

The other members were silent for a few seconds after Kim Taeyeon left, and then looked at each other:

"What do you think she is in such a hurry for? Chi Jingyuan is looking for her."

Although Kim Taeyeon didn't say it clearly, the members are actually not stupid, and they can probably guess a thing or two.

"It should be about solo, isn't Jing Yuan the producer of her solo album? You can tell by her expression."

"I also think... Jin Tae-chan didn't specifically ask us to guess, it's really boring..."

"How can you attract men if you are not boring..."

"Short body can only rely on this."

"ah!"

...

"Why is Noona sweating so much?"

Seeing Taeyeon who walked in directly after knocking on the door, Chi Jingyuan looked at the glistening sweat stains on her forehead and asked in surprise.

This sister ran back from the TV station?

"I was practicing just now, aren't we coming back soon?"

Kim Taeyeon came in and waved to say hello with a smile, and then probably knew that her image was not good, looked around as soon as she came in, then went to the table next to her and took out a few tissues, while talking, while Wipe off the sweat on his face, moving gently, looking very sense: "When you called, you just finished training and were resting, and I came as soon as you said it.

Taking a look at this sister with braided hair, a white shirt, denim shorts, and white sneakers, which is very suitable for practicing ordinary private clothes, Chi Jingyuan nodded and asked casually, "It won't affect you guys. "

"It's okay." Kim Taeyeon waved her hand, looking very grand, quite the prestige of being a captain.

Then she immediately changed her expression, and looked over with blinking eyes: "You said on the phone that the song has been written?"

"Well, I just tried to write a little bit because I had a feeling. I think it's not bad."

Chi Jingyuan nodded, and motioned Taeyeon to sit beside him while operating the equipment in front of him: "But it's not finished yet, I want Nuna to listen to it first, and then give me some advice."

"Quickly, quickly!" Kim Taeyeon sat down next to Chi Jingyuan, her small body huddled in a rather large stool, her hands resting on her lap, and she cheerfully patted her own leg continuously. The voice of piapia, with a look of anticipation on his face, looks like a very hungry elementary school student waiting for the food to be served.

Does this sister know that she is in 1989?

Seeing her reaction, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help complaining in his heart, but he didn't stop the movement of his hands, and turned on the player.

"..."

The song just completed is still a bit crude, just the tune made with a synthesizer and some drum beats. As for the complicated arrangement and rendering, there is no addition of lyrics.

However, the most important melody and rhythm have already come out, and the main style and the dream world built can already be felt through the music composed of notes.

Kim Taeyeon was very absorbed in listening, she closed her eyes as she listened, and kept nodding her head following the rhythm, her fingers tapped lightly on her legs, her mouth was slightly opened, and she seemed to follow with a very low voice. humming.

"Nice, play it again." After listening for a while, Taeyeon opened her eyes and immediately made a request.

After playing it three times in a row, she was satisfied. She looked at the player in front of her with some unsatisfactory eyes, and her eyes without much makeup shone with obvious brilliance: "It's really great, it's the style I want!"

Seeing her expression, Chi Jingyuan knew that it should be OK, and he was also very happy that the song he thought was good was certified by the master, so he smiled and explained:

"Because Nuna, your solo style this time is relatively breakthrough, unique among many artists in SM, and also very different from some of the most popular styles nowadays, so I specially slowed down the overall rhythm speed , and at the same time reduce the frequency of use of electronic music..."

"There is a small part of the melody that I intercepted and adapted from a foreign language song published last year... Don't worry, this melody is copyright-free and anyone can use it."

"When I was listening, I even started to imagine some corresponding pictures in my mind, which is the style I imagined..."

After listening to Chi Jingyuan's introduction carefully, Taeyeon looked at Chi Jingyuan with a little surprise: "How do you know that this is what I want?"

"Nu, you told me yourself." Chi Jingyuan pouted to the side and gestured.

Kim Taeyeon turned her head to look, and immediately recognized the notebook she had handed over to Chi Jingyuan on the table next to her, and burst out laughing: "Ahaha."

At that time, she just wanted to have some sense of participation, and hoped that the title song of her first solo would be a song that would allow her to show her true feelings and appearance, so she wrote some messy things and gave them to Chi Jing source.

She knew very well that her writing was messy, and to be honest, she didn't report too many expectations.

But what she heard today really surprised her.

"If you think it's okay, Nuna..." Chi Jingyuan continued to talk about the main topic, but was interrupted halfway through.

"It's absolutely fine, just use this!"

"Well, that's fine. Do you have any thoughts and opinions after listening?"

"I don't know how to compose, so there is no opinion."

"I will pay attention to the music theory. You just need to tell me some of your true feelings. After all, the title song is tailor-made for you and needs to be more suitable for your style. Your suggestions and ideas are very important. of."

Although Ji Jingyuan was still smiling at work, he was much more serious than in private. After the song was approved and confirmed by Kim Taeyeon, he immediately offered an invitation.

Facing Chi Jingyuan's seriousness, she also nodded and said OK, and played the song again, and the two began to communicate while listening:

"The words here will add a little more drumbeat and add some hazy chanting when the time comes to compose the song. It will definitely make a lot of sense. Is it a male voice or a girl..."

"The rhythm of the first section is a little weaker, adding a little other sound... Well, what do you think of the electric guitar..."

"Here... do you want to let out the space of rap? It doesn't match the atmosphere of the whole song, but Kpop songs don't have rap and it feels weird..."

It is said to be an exchange, but in fact most of it is Chi Jingyuan himself expressing his opinions, and he is quickly operating on the device while talking. It seems that Kim Taeyeon, the master, is by his side, which seems to give him a lot of inspiration. The efficiency and progress are very fast.

And Kim Taeyeon, who is very interested and wants to participate, also tries to make a few suggestions from time to time:

"Can the rhythm before the chorus be slower?"

"I can't slow down here anymore, otherwise it will sound very incongruous..."

"Oh, do you think it would be better to take the pitch of the chorus part a little higher?"

"Hmm... let's raise the key, let me try... Nuna, let's hear how it feels."

"..."

Although Kim Taeyeon doesn't know much about composition, sometimes the ideas and feelings expressed are very general and not very clear, but Ji Jingyuan can understand her meaning accurately every time, which makes this sister very happy, Even though many of the suggestions were not actually adopted, there was still a sense of accomplishment and participation.

Under the burst of inspiration, Chi Jingyuan's progress was very fast, and Kim Taeyeon seemed to have already left the members of the practice room behind. The two of them were busy in the music room until nearly seven o'clock before being awakened by the uncontrollable hunger.

"Does Nuna have a plan tonight, let's have a meal together?" Looking at the time, Chi Jingyuan tidied up the things on the table and offered an invitation at the same time.

"Okay, I can just continue talking about this song... There is a restaurant opened by my friend nearby. It's pretty good. I'll call to make a reservation."

Obviously, Taeyeon was very satisfied with watching her title song take shape little by little.

Chi Jingyuan thought for a while, and added: "Call the assistant, so as not to cause any trouble."

The two of them took their assistants and drove the nanny car to a nearby restaurant opened by a friend of Kim Taeyeon in Cheongdam-dong.

It mainly deals in Korean cuisine, but there are also many Western dishes in the menu, giving people more choices.

Chi Jingyuan took a good look around when he entered. The decoration is quite good. As expected of him when he was young, after so many years of debut, he seems to have some strange connections in various industries.

At the table for four, Chi Jingyuan's assistant, Cui Zhichang, and Kim Taeyeon's female manager kept silent very tacitly, looking at the two producers and singers who were still communicating with each other before the food was served.

Chi Jingyuan took out a previous manuscript and put it on the table, and the two of them looked at it together, a little close to each other.

"The melody of this chorus part is almost like this. I should focus on using electric guitars and drums for the arrangement, but it is estimated that I will not do the work of arrangement alone..." After chatting for a while, watching The waiter brought the food to the side, and Chi Jingyuan also took advantage of the opportunity to put away the manuscript, and several people packed up and prepared to eat.

Hearing the crisp sound of the plate colliding with the table, he pondered for a while, and suddenly had an idea.

"Taeyeon Noona, why don't you write the lyrics for this song."

"I'll write the lyrics?" Taeyeon opened her eyes and looked at the other party in great surprise.

"That's right, after all, it's the first time to solo. If you come to write lyrics, it can express your own thoughts and feelings, and it's also a very good gimmick." After Chi Jingyuan started, he picked up his chopsticks and started to move.

He didn't eat at noon because of the filming of "Infinite Challenge". If he hadn't been supported by inspiration and enthusiasm, he probably wouldn't have survived this time.

The four of them ate silently under the cups and cups, the two assistants naturally didn't talk much, and the two artists didn't talk much.

This proposal was very sudden, which surprised Kim Taeyeon, but it was obvious that it made her very excited.

I have been looking forward to the solo for many years, the album that invested a lot of resources, the title song tailored for her by the brother who is close to the producer, plus the lyrics that she wrote herself to express her mood and feelings .

It sounds really perfect, it's the dream of any solo singer, I don't know if other people can't resist this temptation, but Kim Taeyeon probably can't.

Chi Jingyuan noticed that this sister was distracted while eating.

It may be that she has already started to think about how to write the lyrics, or she may be worried that her lyrics will not be good, which makes this title song, which she has high hopes for, eclipsed.

"Don't worry too much. I will make this suggestion when I finish the demo first and confirm it with Teacher Li Xiuman. There must be no problem... At that time, Nuna, you can find a quiet environment and listen to the demo while writing. "

After eating almost, Chi Jingyuan put down the chopsticks in his hand, as if he could see what was going on in Kim Taeyeon's mind, raised his eyes and thought about it, and then actively encouraged him:

"You don't have to write all the lyrics for the whole song, you can write as much as you can."

"And writing lyrics is actually quite simple. It doesn't have to be very complicated words. Kpop songs don't emphasize lyrics, and they rhyme a little... In fact, it doesn't matter whether they rhyme or not. Many songs even use it perfunctorily. The meaningless onomatopoeia keeps repeating as lyrics... By the way, speaking of this, Nuna and you Girls’ Generation have the best say.”

"Pfft..."

Kim Taeyeon, who seemed a bit majestic just now, burst out laughing, and couldn't help rolling her eyes at him: "You don't think I can't hear that you're mocking us?"

"How is it possible? I'm a fan of Senior Yoona."

Chi Jingyuan looked at her with a smile: "So it's OK to write anything, as long as you can express your true thoughts and feelings in your heart. After all, this is a song that expresses your emotions and soul. People know you better than you do.”

Hearing Chi Jingyuan say so much, I also felt the seriousness of the other party. I was already tempted by this proposal. Everyone Kim Taeyeon no longer hesitated, nodded and agreed:

"Then, let me give it a try... But what if the writing is inappropriate?"

"Don't worry, it won't be inappropriate... just stop using onomatopoeia."
