Peninsula Asteroid

"..."

Chi Jing Yuandun, who was listening carefully to the opinions, had a slight change in his eyes after hearing Jin Eun Shu's words.

Although this sister said it tactfully and even adjusted her glasses with a smile, looking very friendly, but... her meaning was very obvious.

‘After hearing the prelude, I felt a strong sense of anticipation’

'But after the vocals came out, I felt a little inappropriate...'

He felt a lump in his throat and didn't know what to say.

All the vocals in this DEMO were sung by Chi Jingyuan himself... The intro raised the expectation, but the vocals didn't catch up with this expectation, which means I think his voice doesn't sound good.

I have to say that this is actually quite shocking to Chi Jingyuan, who is very confident in his singing skills and voice.

However, after Chi Jingyuan was speechless for a while, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and began to think.

When he wrote songs before and sang them himself, he always felt a little strange. He always felt that something was missing, but he just didn't have time to distinguish it carefully. Now when he heard Jin Enshu say this, he immediately reacted.

It seems that in many parts of this song, the low-pitched male voice does seem to lack some flavor. If it is sung by a female voice, it should be better and better show the romantic and sad feeling of winter in the song.

And it’s best to have a female voice with a more airy voice, and then a male voice with a lower pitch to create a contrast and enrich the listening experience...

I just didn't think about it before. After being awakened by Jin Enshu, Chi Jingyuan, whose professional skills were still online, immediately had several ideas in his mind.

"Actually, having said that, I also think that in some parts, especially the main song, a female voice may be more suitable."

Although he was criticized for having an "inappropriate voice," Chi Jingyuan was not dissatisfied. After thinking about it, he nodded and admitted the statement, and then praised with a smile: "Nuna's feeling in this aspect is really accurate, not inferior." To the pros.”

"Haha, I just said it casually."

Kim Eun-sook smiled: "This song is really great. In many places, you can find the feeling that it complements the TV series itself. And when you hear it, you can tell that it is a winter song... Did you find inspiration from the script, Jingyuan? ?”

"Inside, I re-read the script many times from a different perspective... I have to say that Eun Sununa's script is really well written, and some details can create a lot of sense of immersion."

Kim Eun-sook was obviously very satisfied and liked the OST, and she was very interested in discussing the source of inspiration for the creation with Chi Kyung-won. After the two chatted, they naturally talked about the topic of the singer for the OST.

"Nuna, do you have any other ideas for this song?"

"Of course it's up to you, Jingyuan, to decide on the song production..." Jin Eun-sook first asked a general question, and then asked tentatively: "Who do you think is more suitable to sing this song?"

"Nuna, what do you think?"

"If it's a male-female duet, having the male and female protagonists in the drama participate is of course the most appropriate for publicity... What do you think of Suzy Xi? Didn't you two form a limited group before..."

"Her words...well..."

Nuna, you really pay attention to Kpop. You even know that we formed a group...

Hearing Pei Xiuzhi's name, Chi Jingyuan's expression suddenly became wonderful. After pondering for a long time, he tried hard to organize his words: "She may, um, not be very suitable..."

Although Bae Suzy is a girl group idol, logically speaking, she should be quite suitable to sing with... But Ji Kyung-won, who has collaborated with her on "Some", has already experienced the strength of this woman's singing skills, and also has I have a certain understanding that this woman has a white voice and simple singing skills, and it is difficult for her to master some more complex songs.

Especially the emotional investment in singing makes people speechless. When I stand in front of the microphone, I feel stupid, and my whole person becomes a lot more dull... Chi Jingyuan feels that if this woman can be so sexy in private, If you put your energy and energy into singing, there should be a qualitative change.

The torment of recording at that time is still vivid in my mind now when I think about it.

Even "some" was so difficult for her to sing, let alone this. "stay with me", this OST was very difficult for Chi Jingyuan to sing when he was recording the demo.

Although these things can be solved through sound editing and post-production methods during recording, and even if it is live, the microphone does not need to be turned on, but... she should study the script and focus on acting, and stop involving areas that she is not good at at all. .

"Haha, I just said it casually."

Jin Enshu is also a human being, and she immediately saw Chi Jingyuan's dilemma. She waved her hand with a smile and stopped raising any opinions.

Then the sister took the initiative to have lunch together nearby, and chatted about TV series and scripts before Chi Jingyuan said goodbye to her and got into the nanny car to prepare for her next trip.

In the back seat of the car, he remembered the conversation just now and fell into thinking.

Although the production of "stay with me" will not start yet, because the TV series will be released in December, it will still be quite some time, but after Kim Eun-sook said this, and after he reacted, Chi Jingyuan has decided to make this The first OST was changed to the form of a male and female chorus, which made me start thinking about who to collaborate with.

Among the friends or female idols he is familiar with, from a professional perspective, Jung Eun Ji and Kim Taeyeon, who have the style of a lead singer, should be okay. These friends have more or less mentioned cooperation before. Things, and if it's closer, Son Seung-wan should be okay.

But from an emotional point of view, he would rather sing with Bae Zhuhyun...

Although in terms of singing skills, my father is a little worse than those big singer friends, her ability is actually quite good. Although she is not particularly outstanding in all aspects, she is above the average level, and in some cases In the Yuanqi group, you can actually compete for the position of the lead singer, and if you have some difficulties, you can rely on professional means to solve them.

Even the young lady's voice is not that ethereal, but... those lead singer friends are also not of this type, so I can't force it.

Judging from Chi Jingyuan's aesthetics, there is a good chance that this song will be a hit. Even if the quality of this song is not an OST with the potential to be a hit like "Goblin", it will be a hit if it is released as an ordinary song. potential, let alone cooperate with TV series.

So as far as cooperation partners are concerned, he still hopes to find them nearby...unless the familiar friends around him are not very suitable.

If it doesn't work, you can ask YoonA-senpai.

I can see the image of my senior scratching his head and throat in front of the microphone in the recording studio. It’s interesting to think about it.

…………

It was close to eleven o'clock in the evening when Chi Jingyuan returned to the company after a busy day. As soon as he got off the car in the parking lot, there was already a filming crew waiting for him. As soon as he got off, there was already a VJ carrying a camera. As he was shooting, there were writers and several staff standing next to him, making the parking lot that should have been a little deserted now seem extremely lively.

These are the filming crew of "Infinite Challenge". Due to his absence from the morning shooting, they are here to shoot his personal shots, and even if he is the only one, there may still be a lot of content that will be edited into the official shot. During the broadcast...the other members may have complained a little, but Chi Jingyuan's words made the program team feel that it was worth doing, and they were happy to do so.

Because he had communicated with the agent when he came back, Chi Jingyuan didn't feel nervous after seeing it. As soon as the car door opened, he was already in business mode. He first made an unexpected expression, and then walked forward. Looking at the camera following him, he asked with concern: "Are you still working at this late hour?"

"It's all because I'm waiting for you." The writer's voice-over sounded a little calm.

"Ah, is that so..."

Such a straightforward and unsubtle voiceover made Chi Jingyuan smile, and the smile became a little forced: "Haha, it's really hard work."

Why has the narration style of "Infinite Challenge" been changed? I remember it wasn't like this last year...

After a brief silence, Chi Jingyuan walked to the elevator and waited for the elevator. The voiceover sounded again: "After Yuan Xi participated in the Song Festival last year, how does it feel to participate in the "No Choice" special again this year?"

"Last year's Gayo Festival gave me a lot of wonderful memories. It was a very profound and touching experience. I am very excited to be able to participate in the special episode of "No Choice" again this time."

Standing in front of the elevator, Chi Jingyuan thought for a while and said sincerely with reminiscing eyes.

Last year's music festival really gave him good memories. The song "Rooftop Room" also achieved very good results and was liked by many people... not just fans.

"So what do you think about Yoo Jae Suk xi, the partner for this special episode... This time Yoo Jae Suk xi will join EXO in the collaboration and become the tenth member, and he will also have his own super power."

"Oh? Their progress is so fast without me?"

When the elevator came, Chi Jingyuan walked in first, and at the same time his tone became surprised: "What super powers did Brother Shi get?"

If you join EXO, you will gain superpowers... It's actually true to say that, that's how the setting is.

"What super powers does Yuan Xi think Liu Jae Suk Xi will have?"

"his words……"

Chi Jingyuan thought for a while and said tentatively: "Transformation?"

"Why do you say that?"

"Because... Bah..."

He opened his mouth and bared his lower teeth at the camera, vividly imitating Liu Jae Suk. Although his front teeth were very neat and not prominent at all: "Brother Jae Suk's appearance features are quite obvious... I think he His ability should be to transform into an orc, grasshopper or something like that."

"Haha..." VJ couldn't help laughing, and the camera shook for a while. Then he finally calmed down and said in a cold tone, "But his super power is definitely 'transparent'."

"transparent……"

He repeated this ability in his mouth, and after pondering for two seconds, Chi Jingyuan nodded seriously and said, "This ability... is also quite suitable for Brother Shi."

As he said that, he looked at the camera with a look of admiration: "Not to mention, he has quite a few features."

"Haha... Then what does Yuan Xi think of the new members of this group?"

"Oh, that's alright."

"Why don't you look very satisfied?"

"I'm not particularly dissatisfied... because I participated in the Gayo Festival last year and collaborated with "No Challenge". I was the other person who collaborated with me at the time. This year, after Shi Ge, I feel that there is a slight gap in comparison."

"There's a gap... So which MC does Yuan Xi want to work with? Zheng Hengdon Xi?"

"Why do you say that?"

When the elevator opened on the floor, Chi Jingyuan walked out and looked back at VJ in surprise, as if he didn't understand why he said the name, and then said with a matter-of-fact expression:

"Of course IU!"

…

"At the beginning, the arms are parallel to each other, about this distance, one, two..."

In EXO's practice room, Chi Jingyuan was alone learning the dance in the cooperative area with the dance teacher. The smile on his face had faded, and his expression became very serious. He watched the teacher's movements with bated breath, and his body followed his. Start making various dance moves.

He raised his arm and moved it back and forth twice parallel to his shoulder.

"Tap, have a rhythm."

The elbows tremble slightly, making a tapping gesture.

"Put your left foot on the ground and move."

Chi Jingyuan in front of the mirror raised his foot and stepped hard, then moved to the left side of the center line.

"Very well, continue."

The song I collaborated with Yoo Jae Suk this time is "dancing king", which is a samba-style dance song created by the well-known composing team that the company cooperated with.

This song has actually been finalized and written a long time ago. Chi Jingyuan had listened to it a few months ago. Overall, the song is of a very high standard. The melody is catchy and the overall rhythm is good. It's very strong and makes you want to dance. It's a very good dance song.

At the same time, in order to take care of Liu Zaishi, an older middle-aged man, the choreography of this song was also made a lot simpler. Most of them are just very basic movements, and there are no such difficult movements and moves.

...If it were a very difficult dance like "Monster" or "Fire", even if Yoo Jae Suk really dedicated himself to taking time to practice for half a month, it would be difficult for him to be on the official stage in September, and even his boss It is likely that your arms and legs will be injured during practice. Many of the steps and moves in EXO's dances are really beyond the capabilities of ordinary people.

However, although the movements are slightly simple, they are far from the level of broadcast gymnastics. Moreover, thanks to the efforts of the professional choreography team, the overall choreography is very coherent and has a lot of sense.

The night was already deep, but Chi Jingyuan didn't care at all, and was completely devoted to learning dance. He stood alone in the spacious practice room, with various paintings on the wooden floor under his feet to help confirm the movement and position. lines, but at this time there was only his figure, but it seemed a bit empty.

One move at a time, he learned bit by bit. His movements were extremely unfamiliar at the beginning, but soon they became polished at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The voiceover did not make any sound during the whole process, but used the camera to faithfully record his process from beginner to rapid mastery. The entire filming process seemed a bit serious, and the change in atmosphere was impressive, especially in the elevator just now. The humorous and relaxed chat during the interview is in sharp contrast to the seriousness and concentration at work now.

And the music of "dancing king" kept echoing:

"A-ya-ya"

“Dance all night~”
