Peninsula Asteroid

Lin Nalian's eyebrows were lowered, her eyelids were drooped, her whole face was wrinkled together like a dumpling, her mouth was extremely flat and aggrieved, her grin exposed half of her upper teeth and her iconic incisors, and her eye sockets were constantly flashing in her eyes. He was spinning around, his prominent nose trembling slightly, like a sad rabbit that had been kicked and then hung up.

However, she seemed to remember that there were many people in the room, and her head was buried while she was crying. And although she was crying, there was no obvious cry, only a few sudden breaths occasionally mixed in with the suppressed sobs. The movement of the nose, but combined with the extremely vivid and unrestrained expression, can highlight the grievance and sadness without any sound.

"Woooo..."

"suck……"

"Woooo..."

But even though she looked sad, her twisted face and reflective rabbit teeth gave people an inexplicable sense of humor.

Of course, Chi Jingyuan didn't think so. He looked at Lin Nalian who was being scolded and cried in the soundproof room. He frowned slightly and wanted to say something, but after opening his mouth, no sound came out. He listened to the monitoring equipment. He whimpered and finally just exhaled.

"Nayeon..."

The manager next to him, Jin Sangmin, looked at Lin Nayeon who suddenly started crying. He seemed to be very dissatisfied with the other party's performance and what he considered to be an excessive reaction. He shouted in a serious tone. Judging from his expression, he seemed to want to criticize and teach him a lesson. It hit her.

But before he could say the next words, he was interrupted by Chi Jingyuan as soon as he called Lin Nalian's name.

"That's it for today..." Chi Jingyuan waved his hand, looked at Jin Sangmin and said, his expression returned to normal: "The state is not very suitable for recording... It's not just Nayeonxi, other people should not be able to do it either. It’s great, and it’s indeed a little too late. Let’s take a break and record it at another time.”

Chi Jingyuan stood up from the chair and looked at Lin Nalian, who was still standing inside with a big mouth and sniffing nose. He turned around and winked at Yu Dingyan and the others behind him who were nervous and at a loss. He licked his lips in the soundproof room and motioned for them to comfort him.

After scanning Zhou Ziyu and others, Chi Jingyuan walked outside and called Twice's manager Jin Shangmin out.

"boom……"

With the sound of the door closing, after Chi Jingyuan and his manager walked out, Yu Dingyan and others quickly walked into the soundproof room, pulling Lin Nalian to comfort them: "Ouni..."

"Stop crying and wipe it quickly."

"……suck……"

Lin Nalian wiped her eyes with the tissue handed over by the member, put away her rabbit teeth and sniffed. She didn't say anything, but glanced timidly in the direction of the door.

After crying for a while, I vented my anger. After the sad mood gradually calmed down, a kind of fear and worry surged in my heart again.

Judging from her performance tonight and the fact that she burst into tears just after the producer said a few words, she is probably about to be taught a lesson by her manager.

"Xi Jingyuan, Nayeon is really... the children today... I will talk about them when I get back."

After walking out of the recording studio door and standing in the corridor, Jin Shangmin felt that Chi Jingyuan was not very happy, so he laughed sarcastically and took the initiative to speak.

"There's nothing to blame. It's normal to be in a bad state when singing. Although she cried a little..." Chi Jingyuan waved his hand: "And there are also some problems of mine. It's my first time to record a girl group and I still don't have much experience. I'm a little bit A little anxious."

"That's it for today, let's change the time, tomorrow..."

Chi Jingyuan raised his eyes and thought for a moment, then changed his mind: "Let's take another day off. Let them adjust their condition. Then I will discuss it with the crew and see if we can record in the afternoon or morning. Don't delay it. It’s midnight, so the recording still depends on the state.”

"The day after tomorrow, right? No problem, the children will cooperate with Jingyuan's time to fuck you." Jin Shangmin nodded immediately after hearing this, with no intention of objecting.

After the time was agreed upon, Chi Jingyuan did not end the conversation. Instead, he looked at Jin Sangmin and said seriously:

"Aside from other factors... Actually, I think the main problem is that they are not in good condition today. Others are not in the competition. If they were, I would probably not be as good as Lin Nalian."

"Should you be more careful about their schedules? It seems to me that they haven't had much rest. Nayeon's voice is obviously a bit hoarse. It sounds like she has been recording songs for several days in a hurry. She is refinishing them. You didn't even fix it and then you brought it to me to record it? Is that right..."

Chi Jingyuan looked at Twice's manager and asked softly, "Are you a little too anxious?"

JYP's schedule for Twice has always been a little devilish. It's normal to stay up late and work continuously. This has been seen by Ji Kyung-won since his debut. Normally, he is too lazy to take care of it, but now it has affected his normal work as a producer. Sorry, it would be inappropriate not to say a few words.

Jin Shangmin heard Chi Jingyuan's dissatisfaction and said 'uh' and wanted to explain, but Chi Jingyuan didn't give him a chance and continued: "Let's record again the day after tomorrow. The free time is used to adjust the state. Recorders, please stop engaging in all-night activities that keep you awake, and finish the recording as soon as possible..."

"If it stays like this next time, I'll have something to say about Brother Jinying."

"..."

"Okay, brother, let them go back and rest early." After the serious explanation, Chi Jingyuan smiled when he saw Jin Shangmin's serious expression, shook his hand at him, and left directly.

Jin Sangmin sent Chi Jingyuan and Park Jaehyun to the elevator. After saying goodbye, the smile on his face immediately faded. He exhaled with a heavy breath and returned to the recording studio.

Originally, twcie had already come out of the soundproof room, still chatting in small words and discussing the recording and Chi Jingyuan when the door suddenly opened. When she saw the manager's calm expression and eyes when he came back, Jiu Everyone shuddered and suddenly became quiet.

Managers need to maintain a strict and disciplined attitude towards idols, especially newcomers who have just debuted. Although Kim Sangmin does not usually get angry often, people like Twice are actually quite afraid of their managers.

Especially Lin Nalian, who felt that she had messed up. She had stopped crying now. Her nose was red, and she lowered her head and pretended to look at the ground, but her eyes gently rolled up to look at her agent secretly.

While he was praying in his heart, 'Don't call me, don't call me,' Jin Shangmin looked around and directly called her name: "The recording time has been changed. The others will go back to the practice room to pack up and prepare to go back..."

"Nayeon, come with me."

"……profound."

…

"Ha, I haven't seen you Jingyuan in a hurry for a long time..."

On the way back to the nanny's car, Park Jae-hyun, who was driving the car, smiled and talked about the situation during the recording. From his perspective, Chi Jingyuan, who became a little impatient later, and Lin Nayeon, who was said to be crying so wronged All quite interesting.

Chi Jingyuan felt a little innocent when he heard this, curled his lips and said, "I have actually controlled my emotions. If we were in this state when we played our EXO recording..."

He shook his head and didn't finish his sentence.

"Haha, she is a girl after all..."

After Park Jae-hyun said the last word with a smile, he also became quiet and said no more.

Chi Jingyuan opened the window and blew in the night breeze. At this time, his phone suddenly vibrated. He picked it up and saw that it was a text message from Zhou Ziyu.

"Are you angry?"

A few simple words, but there is a sense of sanity in the words.

"No." Chi Jingyuan tilted his head and looked at these words, smiled and turned back.

"I see that you were a little angry at the end...and you just stopped recording. It ended so early."

"That's because you guys are in such bad shape today...and wouldn't it be nice to end it early? You can go back to bed early. Aren't you going to attend the opening ceremony of Hanlin Art High School tomorrow?"

Although Zhou Ziyu is already a debut artist, she has always been a glorious junior high school student and will not officially become a high school student until tomorrow.

"..."

Zhou Ziyu, who was secretly sending text messages in the corner of the practice room, saw this message. His worry instantly subsided, and he couldn't help but feel a little happy. He smiled, blinked and tapped the screen:

"Do you remember?"

"Didn't you say that yourself before? You said you were admitted to the Hanlin Academy, and you said you were going with Sun Caiying."

"Hey hey hey."

"What are you laughing at? Is it difficult to get into this kind of art high school? What's your score in math?"

"...Why are you doing this? I won't tell you anymore."

Seeing that he had successfully attacked Zhou Ziyu's pain point, Chi Jingyuan laughed and put down his phone and looked out the window.

Although it was getting late, he didn't feel much sleepy. After coming out of JYP, he became more energetic and kept thinking about the recording just now.

This is the first time for Chi Jingyuan to do recording work as a producer for a girl group. I was not familiar with people like Twice and Lin Nayuan before. It is also the first time for Chi Jingyuan to try many things.

Although the main problem tonight is Lin Nalian's condition, Chi Jingyuan is also considering whether the effect will be better if he stays a little more patient or changes his approach.

As Park Jae Hyun said casually just now, after all, Twice and EXO are not the same thing. When recording EXO, he can point out their problems to the members casually, but when it comes to Twice, people will cry at the drop of a hat.

It was as if he was bullying someone.

You shouldn't have said those unnecessary words to Jin Sangmin just now, you should let him teach some people a harsh lesson.

Not professional at all.

"shock……"

At this time, the phone rang again. Chi Jingyuan came to his senses and picked it up to take a look. Zhou Ziyu, who had just vowed dullly, "I won't tell you anymore," came back, but this time he was talking about someone else.

"Don't be angry. Actually... the members are all quite tired today. They have been busy filming the group variety show recently. It was very troublesome to shoot the group variety show. Nayeon Unni even stretched her legs when filming the fitness scene. hurt……"

"I filmed two commercials two days ago. I haven't slept much in the past few days, so I'm in a bad state..."

"We were recording other songs the past two days, and Nayeon Unni had a lot of parts. After recording for a few days, her voice became a bit hoarse...

"Nayeonni didn't do it on purpose. She has always sang very well before...better than me."

Zhou Ziyu was obviously still worried that Chi Jingyuan would be dissatisfied with what happened just now, and didn't seem to want him to have any other thoughts about Lin Nalian, so he explained nonchalantly and carefully.

Chi Jingyuan looked at the constantly vibrating screen and the text messages that kept being sent. After reading it again, he didn't know what to say. After there was no movement on the phone, he was silent for a moment and sent one, but there was no response:

"I haven't seen you in school uniform yet... Go to bed early."

…

In the office of JYP's manager, Lin Nayeon stood in front of her manager honestly, with her head lowered, her mouth pursed, and her fingers pinched. Her eyes and nose were still red and swollen after crying, and she looked pitiful.

But Jin Sangmin, who knows her very well, will not be deceived by this trick. He has been with Twice for a long time. Many of these people are crazy in private. Whenever they make a mistake and know that they will be punished, they start to pretend to be pitiful. Lin Nayeon is one of them. one.

However, he did know that the oldest member sometimes made noises, but in fact he was really very timid, and sometimes he wasn't completely pretending.

Jin Shangmin looked her up and down, looked at her for a while, and then slowly said with a serious tone: "Today's recording was messed up, so I won't say how the singing went... I said before that although Jingyuanxi is the same as you idol, but if you treat him as a producer, don’t you take it seriously?”

Although Chi Jingyuan said not to blame Twice before leaving, as an agent he would definitely not be affected by just one sentence, and he would definitely have to criticize a few times.

"no……"

Lin Nalian shook her head very lightly and muttered softly.

After she finished crying, she knew that she would be punished by her manager. Whether it was her performance during the night recording, her willful crying at work, or even her behavior of "driving the producer away", she would all be taught a lesson by her manager.

At this time, although the tension and pressure during the recording had dissipated, the dull feeling of grievance still remained in my heart, and at the same time, I also had some fear of my manager.

"Then why are you crying? People didn't say much about you. Jingyuanxi has been encouraging you from the beginning. And even if you criticize you a few words, you can't bear it?"

"Because...because..."

She repeated hesitantly for a long time, but she didn't know how to speak.

Because from her point of view, she felt that Chi Jingyuan must have always been displeased with her because he knew about her black behavior. He must have been holding his breath and looking for an opportunity to teach her a lesson. Today's recording has not gone well, although she She knew that she was indeed a poor singer, but in her opinion, Chi Jingyuan's strictness made her feel like she was being targeted.

He finally found his chance, which I had expected.

The short-lived praise before was just a disguise.

That's what ground light is like.

"Why? Tell me?"

Seeing her pursed lips and mumbling for a long time, Jin Shangmin was a little impatient: "You don't think Jing Yuanxi is targeting you, do you?"

"..."

The thing on her mind was suddenly named, and Lin Nalian no longer had to think about what to say. She hesitated for a moment, then nodded quietly.

However, Jin Shangmin noticed her actions, was stunned for a moment, and asked in great surprise: "Is this true? Why are they targeting you?"

"Because, because during "Sixteen" before, I, I..." She didn't know what to say.

Said that she had been secretly flirting with Chi Jingyuan in private, and then the other party found out?

"Oh, you said this..."

Jin Sangmin remembered it as soon as he heard it, and he looked at Lin Nayeon, who had a dull expression on his face, and wanted to laugh: "The eye-rolling incident you mentioned, right? Isn't it because you have a problem with your expression management? ?”

"No matter what happens during the shooting, no matter how angry or wronged you are, you must manage your expressions. How many times has the company taught you this? When you roll your eyes in front of the camera during the shooting, you..." Jin Sangmin was a little angry when he mentioned this matter. From a perspective, this is entirely Lin Nalian’s problem.

Seeing Lin Nalian's look, he didn't bother to mention it. After a pause, he asked strangely: And this matter should be because you are dissatisfied with Jingyuanxi, not because Jingyuanxi is targeting you, right? I am a TOP idol, how can I have time to target you as a trainee? "

You don’t know many things at all...

Lin Nalian muttered angrily in her heart, but did not dare to express it at all. She just wrinkled her nose slightly in anger.

But just when she was about to curse something in her heart, her attention was suddenly attracted by Jin Sangmin's next words.

"When you mentioned this, I really remembered it." The keywords brought back memories. Kim Sangmin raised his eyes and thought for a moment: "That incident was quite a big fuss at the time. EXO's fans are really powerful. You It should also be clear... At that time, it had a very bad impact on the company and Twice, who had not yet debuted. After all, disrespecting seniors is indeed a big mistake in the eyes of the people..."

"Twice has been debuting for so long, so it's okay to tell you now. At that time, the company discussed your punishment for a long time..."

Hearing this, Lin Nalian raised her head and looked over with some fear, because the impact at that time was indeed very bad. She was worried every day at that time, and what she was most worried about was being kicked out of the debut group.

JYP has a precedent. They can change people even after they debut, let alone a trainee who hasn't debuted yet.

In the end, I was very lucky. I only received a severe lesson, but there was no other worse punishment.

It doesn't matter what a lesson is. Just scold him. Anyway, trainees have been scolded countless times over the years and have long been used to it.

But now it seems there is something hidden?

Lin Nalian's eyes were round.

"There were a lot of discussions at the time, but no decision was made... Later, when Jingyuan Xi found out about the incident, he called PD Park Jin Young, expressed his apology, and specifically mentioned you, saying that he didn't want this incident to affect you. What impact will Twice's debut have... Of course, we at JYP will have our own considerations and plans for twice... But PDnim must have consulted the other party's opinions to a certain extent, after all, they have a good relationship..."

"Before I left, I said it wasn't your problem. Let me...ah qingjia, this is why I'm targeting you. You are a TOP idol and you are so busy every day. Who remembers who you are..."

Jin Sangmin really thought Lin Nayeon's idea was very funny, so nonsensical that he didn't even know what to say.

After hearing his words, he looked at Lin Nalian, who first opened her eyes and opened her mouth with a look of surprise, then lowered her head and didn't know what she was thinking. His intention to teach her a lesson faded away, and he waved his hand:

"Forget it, go back and have a good rest. Don't have any problems when recording next time."

"……Inside."
