"band?"

Hearing Jung Hyung Don's suggestion, Chi Kyung Won and IU turned to look at each other and blinked at each other, both looking quite surprised.

However, after the initial surprise, after thinking about it for a while, Chi Jingyuan actually felt that this proposal was quite good.

Because their group is not two people like other groups, there are three people in their group. It sometimes seems a bit weird for three people to perform on the stage of some songs, and Zheng Hengdon is not a professional singer, regardless of his singing skills. Still, his stage performance is definitely far behind that of Chi Kyung-won and IU. Purely lyrical or similar-style songs can easily make him have no sense of existence.

The band can improve this situation to a great extent, and the band-style pop songs are also very suitable for the atmosphere of the summer music festival.

"Yes, if there is a band, the three-person stage will be more energetic. Jingyuan and Zhien, you two must know a lot of instruments, right..."

After seeing the two people nodding their heads to confirm naturally, Zheng Hengdon looked excited. The more he talked, the more he felt that this proposal was very good, and the more he talked, the more enthusiastic he became:

"Drums, bass, and guitar are the instruments that bands often use. Although I'm not proficient in them, I can at least imitate them. I'm sure you won't have any problem with the other two, either. Jingyuan and IU have never done it before. Let's go to the band, I just took advantage of this song festival to try it out. Think about that scene, you are playing the drums on the stage, and the tens of thousands of audience below are cheering for you crazily..."

"OK OK, brother, I understand, I understand."

Seeing Zheng Hengdun getting more and more excited, he had already stood up from the sofa. When he walked to the side and wanted to pick up a bass and start operating it with his own hands in advance, Chi Jingyuan quickly interrupted him and spoke kindly. He persuaded.

However, what he said was indeed very interesting, and it obviously aroused the interest of Chi Jingyuan and IU.

After Jung Hyung Don gave a suggestion and outlined a bright future by repaying the loan, the music room slowly became quiet, and both Chi Kyung Won and IU began to consider his band proposal.

Chi Jingyuan leaned on the sofa naturally, folded his hands on his chest and tilted his head slightly, while IU put her legs together, hugged the pillow with both hands, and bowed her body with her head hanging down little by little.

After a while, Chi Jingyuan felt a small movement next to him. After turning his head, he found that IU had changed his sitting position and was looking at him. The two exchanged glances. He pursed his lips and asked tentatively: "Have a play?" play?"

"Okay, it's quite interesting." IU smiled and nodded, looking very interested.

"Okay, then we will definitely start a band with the first song!" Zheng Hyungdon made the decision directly. He patted the sofa hard with excitement, and then looked at Chi Jingyuan and IU as if he was done. The man stretched out his hand to give a high-five. After the two high-fived each other, they smiled and clapped each other again.

"Speaking of...wait a minute."

Speaking of this, Chi Jingyuan suddenly remembered something. He walked to the side and operated the computer while explaining to the two people who looked over curiously:

"Speaking of the band, I have a demo here that I haven't completed before. I think it's pretty good, and the overall style is quite in line with our band theme. Listen to it. If you think it's OK, I can work directly on it. If you revise it, you don’t have to write a new piece of music.”

"Is there a finished product already? That's great!" Zheng Hengdun was a little surprised and immediately sat up straight.

Next to me, IU pursed her lips and nodded with a smile, looking very expectant.

"Music~~~"

Chi Jingyuan gestured to the two of them and then clicked play.

Although it may not be used sometimes, if he has inspiration or ideas, he will try to write some music in his free time. This is a very common habit for composers, such as IU a few days ago Within a short period of time, she sent him three or four demos. Judging from this speed, it was obvious that she had a lot of them in stock, and not all of them were written now.

Chi Jingyuan's music library contains many such songs that he created in a flash of inspiration. If he thinks they are good, he will try to perfect them and make a finished product. If not, he will save them directly in the computer and turn them over when he has nothing to do. Come out and listen.

Jung Hyung Don and IU listened carefully to this section, which had no lyrics and no perfect music. Then they looked at each other and coincidentally noticed the light and surprise in each other's eyes.

"It feels very good, just what I wanted, but it feels a little slow." Zheng Hengdun was the first to speak out. His eyes widened and he looked satisfied, but he still expressed his opinion.

"The melody is very good. I think the bridges sound very comfortable. I changed it a little and it feels like the band's style." IU obviously understood it better than Jung Hyung Don, and looked over with bright eyes.

"Well, because the style is relatively close to me, if it's possible, I'm going to add some percussion to the interlude to embellish it, and then play the tempo in the middle a little faster, reduce the EDM content, and increase the use of instruments. …”

Seeing the reactions and expressions of the two people, Chi Jingyuan knew that it was almost done. He nodded and talked about it briefly with a smile. Then he looked at IU and added:

"There is also a piano version of this song DEMO, because at first I actually thought of making it into a lyrical song... If it feels OK, I can also make the first chorus into a lyrical version, so that First, the contrast and excitement brought to the audience will be more obvious..."

"Okay, that's it, that's it..." Zheng Hengdun saw Chi Jingyuan, who was very serious, and began to communicate with IU with great interest. After listening for a long time, he finally couldn't help it, and found a gap to interrupt After leaving him, he wanted to make a decision on his behalf with a big wave of his hand, and then asked: "Jing Yuan, does this song have a name now?"

"Not yet, I haven't filled in the words yet, but the inspiration comes from looking at the stars, so let's call it "Stars" for now." Chi Jingyuan smiled and shook his head, then looked at IU and asked: "Then this ?”

"This is really good, I agree!" IU nodded quickly, and even raised her hand, looking very happy.

"OK, then this is the one for sure."

Zheng Hengdun was very excited about the rapid progress this time, after applauding vigorously, he explained to Chi Jingyuan Capital with an expression of anticipation and expectation: "Jing Yuan, then this band song will be entrusted to you. "

"Don't worry bro."

Chi Jingyuan made an OK gesture, and sat back on the sofa from the computer: "The next shooting... Let's do it next time, and try to get it when I can make it."

He didn't dare to say too much.

With the deepening of the filming of "Infinite Challenge", Chi Jingyuan has become more and more serious about this song festival. Since he has chosen to participate, he must devote his energy to it as an important thing. He didn't want to spend a long time and finally come up with a song like the songs in the previous song festivals, which felt crude and obviously a bit improvised.

He can't lower his reputation, and he doesn't want to let down the fans and audience who have great expectations for this song festival after his participation.

Then we can only treat it carefully.

The demo presented by Chi Jingyuan got all three people to vote for it, so one of the two songs was directly confirmed. Today's progress is already half completed. After a short celebration with drinks, the three The individual quickly discussed the theme of another song.

Chi Jingyuan was in charge of the band's song, and IU was naturally responsible for the other song, which was a tacit understanding.

"...Does Zhien still insist on expressing feelings in summer?"

"Not necessarily. I think what you said before is quite reasonable. Fast songs and dance music are indeed more suitable for that occasion."

"I think you should try to make a change and make a special stage. I remember that you haven't tried short hair style much before? Why don't you just imitate Matilda this time, the song festival is just for fun."

"Is "This Killer Is Not So Cold"? I am Matilda, and Jing Yuanxi is Leon? What are you, bro?"

"The perverted policeman?"

"Oh, by the way, speaking of Leon, I happen to have a piece of music here, which was co-created by me and my friends. Come and listen to it..."

"..."

Today, the trio's communication went very smoothly. After several hours of discussion, Chi Jingyuan and the others had already determined the theme style of the two songs that their group needed to create in this song festival, and even each There are already demo samples that are confirmed to be used.

The progress was so fast that the "Infinite Challenge" program team was a little unresponsive. After the program team arrived, they communicated with the writer about the content of today's filming, and directly took the topics and conversations discussed by the three of them just now as today's episode Filmed script.

"goodbye."

"Thanks for your hard work."

"Jing Yuan will come out for dinner when he is free in two days, and so will Zhi En."

Today's filming didn't come to an end until after nine o'clock in the evening. Chi Jingyuan, the program crew who packed up their things and were about to leave, and the other two crew members bid farewell politely.

Before he left, Zheng Hengdun specially sent out an invitation, Chi Jingyuan and Li Zhien didn't refuse, they both agreed with a smile.

After everyone else left, Chi Jingyuan sat back in front of the computer, opened a document and meditated.

The discussion today was very smooth and tacit, which unknowingly ignited a passion in his heart. When shooting just now, he was occasionally distracted thinking about the unfinished demo. At this time, the program team had just left him. I couldn't hold back any longer, and got ready to try to change the song in front of the computer.

Or write some lyrics.

For Ji Jingyuan, the Korean version of the lyrics is actually very easy. Kpop songs themselves don’t pay much attention to this. As long as it fits the theme and the pronunciation is in place, there is no problem.

If you want to go a little deeper, you can start with stories or feelings, and the wording is more complicated, from simple repetitive lyrics to narrative.

But just when Chi Jingyuan was about to try to write something, he suddenly remembered something.

He seems to have an appointment at night, and Zhou Ziyu's mother wants to invite him to dinner...

Thinking of this incident, he couldn't help but patted his head. He was a little confused after being busy in the morning until now. He hurriedly grabbed the mobile phone next to him. After opening it, he found that Zhou Ziyu had sent a message "shooting" 20 minutes ago. Is it over? Remember to tell me when it's over." text message, but it was still being recorded just now, so I didn't see it.

"Just finished working, do you still want to eat?" After he replied, he stood up and put on his clothes, locked the door and went out without much packing.

Let's clean it up tomorrow.

"Of course! We've all booked our seats and arrived."

Zhou Ziyu replied quickly, obviously waiting all the time.

"Well, send me the address, I'll go there now."

"76th Street, Daoshan Mainland, Jiangnan District..."

Seeing the address and the name of the restaurant behind it, Chi Jingyuan felt a little familiar, and asked tentatively: "Which Sichuan restaurant did you order?"

This is a well-known Chinese restaurant in Cheongdam-dong. Its main focus is slightly improved Sichuan cuisine. Chi Jingyuan went there once with Jin Junmian and the others.

The taste is good, and the decoration is also very tasteful. At the same time, because it is in a prosperous area, the price is naturally quite expensive.

"Yeah, my mother asked me what you like to eat, and I said that you like to eat a lot of things, but you prefer Sichuan cuisine a little bit, so she specifically chose a famous one nearby."

"OK, got it."

After Chi Jingyuan came out of the music room, he called his assistant Cui Zhichang who had been waiting in the company. After getting in the nanny car, he signaled him to start the car and go back to the dormitory first, while sending a text message to reply.

Zhou Ziyu's mother is considered an elder, and if she sees the elders, although it is already late, it is still necessary to go back and change her clothes, and at the same time remove the slightly heavier makeup that was put on because of the shooting.

"Tell me when you arrive, and I'll go out to pick you up."

"Don't, you are not an amateur anymore, you are not asking for trouble if you are recognized... Tell me the room number of the box, and I will go in directly."

"Oh well, we're..."

...

Back in the dormitory, Chi Jingyuan took off his make-up, washed his face, put on a pair of flat glasses, changed into a casual white shirt and light-colored trousers, and then took the nanny car again to the eating place that Zhou Ziyu sent him.

Wearing a disguise such as a hat and a mask, I got out of the car and walked into the restaurant. After asking the waiter about the location of the box, I walked over directly, stood in front of the closed door of the room, paused, exhaled lightly, and reached out to knock .

"Boom boom boom."

"Coming!"

The sound insulation of the room didn't seem to be very good. In addition to the crisp answering sound, Chi Jingyuan could also clearly hear the continuous muffled sound of shoes stepping on the ground getting closer and closer.

The door was opened with a bang, and the white light in the room was a little dazzling. At the same time, the person who appeared against the light appeared in front of him. With a blink of an eye, a bright smile was embedded on his face, Zhou Ziyu who couldn't be driven away.

"hey-hey."

Seeing Chi Jingyuan after opening the door, Zhou Ziyu grinned, and then quickly stepped aside to signal him to come in quickly.

As Chi Jingyuan walked in, he took off the hat and mask on his head, and at the same time looked into the box naturally.

It was different from what he had imagined before, because during the live broadcast of "sixteen" yesterday, I saw several of Zhou Ziyu's family members come. Apart from his mother, there were relatives who appeared to be brothers and sisters. Chi Jingyuan thought that they would all come today. Yes, I didn't expect that Zhou's mother was alone at this time.

Zhou's mother looks about forty generations old. Although there are obvious traces of time and medical beauty on her face due to her age, she is dressed in a fashionable dress, with long brown hair and shiny chains. The earrings looked very fashionable, and the workmanship and brand of the clothes on her body were obviously not cheap.

The noses of the mother and daughter are quite similar, but Zhou Ziyu's facial features are obviously better than blue in general, and he cleverly absorbed the advantages of both parents in terms of appearance.

Zhou's mother had already stood up from her seat when Chi Jingyuan walked in, with a bright smile on her face, and at the same time secretly scrutinized Chi Jingyuan who was approaching.

After he took off the mask, Zhou's mother's eyes shrank slightly and then flashed, she seemed a little surprised.

At this time, Zhou Ziyu, who had closed the door, bounced to his mother's side, hugged the arm of the standing mother Zhou, blinked twice with big eyes, hesitated for a while, and didn't know what to say.

Just when she was a little embarrassed but was about to come out and introduce her, Zhou's mother spoke up. She didn't have the shyness and impoliteness of her daughter at all, and looked at Chi Jingyuan with a smile and took the initiative to say hello: "Yuan is here." , sit down quickly..."

"Auntie calls me Chi Jingyuan, or Jing Yuan."

Chi Jingyuan walked to the seat two vacant seats away from Zhou's mother, and didn't take the lead to sit down. Instead, he half-smiled and shook his hands in embarrassment, and glanced at Zhou Ziyu on the side: " I know Zhou Ziyu very well, and you are also an elder, so don't be so polite."

"Ha, then I'll call you Jing Yuan. This name is really good. It sounds very artistic. Sit down and you're welcome."

After hearing Chi Jingyuan's words, Zhou's mother also felt his attitude from the other party. She nodded and smiled in response, then stretched out her hand to signal Chi Jingyuan to sit down, and smiled even brighter when the other party still didn't move. One point, so she took the opportunity to sit down first, and Chi Jingyuan then followed and sat down after reaching out her hand again to signal.

Immediately afterwards, she showed a surprised gaze, looked at Chi Jingyuan who had lifted the frame of the mirror, and praised:

"But Jingyuan, your Chinese is really good. Baby... I didn't quite believe it when Tzuyu told me about it before. Now after listening to it, I realize that your spoken English is indeed so good. I completely understand it." If you don’t come out, you are a foreigner.”

Zhou's mother was both surprised and sincerely praised Chi Jingyuan's Chinese proficiency. However, when she mentioned the word "baby" to refer to her daughter, Zhou Ziyu, who was holding her arm next to her, obviously felt a little awkward and embarrassed. She secretly kissed her mother, and Zhou's mother understood instantly and immediately changed her tune.

This mother and daughter are really close.
