Chapter 676: First Meeting with Taeyeon's Family
For lunch, Zhang Pingan accompanied Li Zhien and Liu Inna to dine at a Vietnamese restaurant in Itaewon. The taste was just like that, Vietnamese spring rolls, Vietnamese noodles, curry crab...the two of them thought it was pretty good, but Zhang Pingan didn't think it was anything amazing. After the meal, the two of them were going to go shopping, but Zhang Pingan did not follow them.
It had been a long time since Li Zhien and Liu Inna had talked about their women's private conversations together, so Zhang Ping'an said goodbye after eating, and they didn't hold back at all. Besides, this is Seoul, even if Yoo In Na is by her side, she still needs to explain herself after being photographed. So having a meal together is enough.
Zhang Ping'an came out of Itaewon and looked at the "ten thousand national flags" pulled on the streets here and the various foreigners walking on the streets. He felt like he was in Europe and the United States. Instead, the boutique shops on the street are filled with small items from various countries. It is simply an ‘international small commodity market’.
He randomly entered a Russian store because the traditional matryoshka dolls inside caught Zhang Pingan's attention. This thing... seemed to be very cheap on Taotao?
Holding the matryoshka doll and looking at the price, Zhang Pingan shook his head and put it back. This is something that sells for close to 200 yuan in Chinese coins, and it only costs a few dozen yuan on Taotao. If this thing is not done well, it will still be 'Made in China'.
Itaewon, Gyeongdan-ro, Instagram has been extremely popular in Korea recently. Foreigners from all over the world have always lived here, but in the past, Koreans also felt that there might be some problems with language communication, but later I found that most of the owners of the exotic shops living on Gyeongjeongduan Road can speak English. They are fluent in Korean, so more and more young people are coming here.
Also because people from all over the world gather here and they open various restaurants here, the food around Gongyeongtuan Road has become international. For example, French, Italian, American, Mexican, etc... restaurants from all over the world are gathered here.
Zhang Ping'an was wandering here alone with nothing to do, feeling the unique customs here. To the shopkeepers here, Zhang Ping'an is just a 'tourist'. Maybe people here know some kpop stars, but people like Zhang Pingan who appear behind the scenes don't know much about them.
Moreover, these foreigners don't care much about Korean entertainment news, so Zhang Pingan is undoubtedly a tourist in their eyes.
There were some Koreans who were wandering around here like Zhang Pingan and stared at him from time to time. Although he is not a celebrity, it is good enough to recognize Zhang Ping'an.
While walking around, Zhang Pingan saw a Turkish ice cream shop in a small store. This 'magic ice cream' attracted a lot of people. At this time, there was a group of Korean women who were stunned by the Turkish uncle's fancy performance, and there was constant laughter around them.
Zhang Pingan laughed when he saw this.
Because after some short videos came out, the ‘Turkish uncle’ was also teased by the customers who paid the bill. But now they are still playing tricks on the guests.
Zhang Pingan walked over with a smile. The group of young and beautiful girls were surprised when they saw Zhang Pingan. After one of them got the ice cream, Zhang Pingan stood at the ice cream stall and began to be teased by the Turkish uncle. The Korean girls standing next to him took out their mobile phones and filmed Zhang Pingan being teased by the Turkish uncle. The process of playing, but after Zhang Ping'an got the ice cream, he took out the Korean won and was about to pay the bill... He began to learn the Turkish uncle's techniques and play tricks on him.
.......
This video of them playing with each other was posted on YouTube by these girls. After being teased, Zhang Pingan responded with his bill payment, making countless people burst into laughter. Even Zhang Pingan didn't know that this video was actually sent back by the porter. China.
"Hahaha, An Geer, what kind of trouble are you going to make? I'm laughing so hard. Turkish ice cream. I've seen many people playing tricks on tourists at many tourist attractions. But An Geer came up with a counter-trick and teased the ice cream man when paying the bill. ,I learned."
"It's so funny. Are you going to return to the world of funny videos? Brother An, you're so awesome. It's a pity that people like you don't take the lead in up."
"As expected of a producer, he has a brilliant mind."
The video made many people laugh in China, and countless people in South Korea were also made laugh by Zhang Pingan. It turns out that such interaction is still possible?
The next afternoon, Zhang Ping'an recorded for Kim Taeyeon in the recording studio here at S.M. As soon as Zhang Pingan came in, Taeyeon laughed when she saw him: "Hahaha, I watched your video yesterday. Pani and I both laughed so much that our stomachs hurt. Why didn't we think of fighting back like this before?"
Zhang Pingan smiled and handed the coffee he brought to Taeyeon and his manager: "That's because you are all kind. In fact, at that moment, when I was buying ice cream, there were four beauties standing next to me, and I was shooting a video So this ice cream man wanted to tease me to gain admiration? He teased me for almost two minutes before he stopped. Wouldn’t it look stupid if I didn’t retaliate?”
After finishing speaking, Zhang Ping'an looked around at S.M's equipment and found that it was not a new model. He said casually: "We have moved to a new office building, but the company's hardware is not replaced with new ones?"
Taeyeon smiled: "Who knows, maybe it's because you're used to it in the recording studio, right?"
The agent then added: "P.D. Zhang, the production team of "Cai Shao" came to communicate with us and asked if we want them to accompany us when we go overseas for filming?"
Zhang Pingan raised his eyebrows and said: "Why go? To watch us filming? Or do they want to use the banner of overseas filming to get more funding from the higher-ups? Or do they want to join us in the fun? We can just shoot some behind-the-scenes footage when the time comes."
Zhang Pingan said this, and the agent could only nod to show that he knew. Then Zhang Pingan turned to Taeyeon and said: "Have you warmed up your voice?"
"It's already afternoon, and you haven't warmed up your voice yet? Do you want to take a break or start now?"
Zhang Pingan thought for a while and said: "Let's start now, let's record this song today first."
Taeyeon nodded, put down the coffee in her hand, and walked into the recording studio. The title song "i" began to be produced under Zhang Pingan's supervision, and this was also Zhang Pingan's first official recording after learning, so his requirements were relatively high. In addition, he had the draft of "i" in his mind, so the recording lasted until late at night. After six hours of recording, Taeyeon felt that her voice was going to be hoarse.
For two consecutive days, Zhang Pingan recorded the two songs he wrote for Taeyeon. When Taeyeon took the recorded music to Tiffany, she was moved to tears by Taeyeon's singing.
Tiffany said that this song is very suitable for Taeyeon, whether it is the lyrics, the song itself, or Taeyeon's voice, it really makes the song moving enough.
In mid-September, Girls' Generation ended their song promotion schedule, and the next day, Jessica went to China to film a program.
And Zhang Pingan, Taeyeon, and her family are going to New Zealand together. Zhang Pingan is not only the producer of the record, but also the general director of Taeyeon's MV this time.
Originally, Zhang Pingan said that he would charter a plane to New Zealand this time, but Taeyeon said that there was no need to pay for it herself. So he was arranged by SM in the first class cabin, but Taeyeon and her family were in business class.
And Zhang Pingan was the only one in the entire team who was treated as a first-class cabin, which made Zhang Pingan embarrassed, because even Taeyeon's mother did not take the first class cabin.
Taeyeon's mother traveled with the team this time, and all the expenses were borne by Taeyeon herself. Although their company said that they could buy air tickets for Taeyeon's family, Taeyeon finally rejected this proposal. She felt that there was no need to take advantage of this little bargain. How much is the air ticket?
In the VIP waiting room, Taeyeon brought Zhang Pingan to her mother: "O-ma, this is Zhang Pingan, the producer of my album this time, and the general director of the MV shooting."
When Taeyeon's mother and her brother came to Seoul and stayed at the hotel yesterday, Taeyeon went to accompany her family at night. So I told them in advance that the general director this time was Zhang Pingan.
Taeyeon's mother still knew the name "Zhang Pingan". He was photographed by the media with Taeyeon at the beginning.
Taeyeon's mother learned about her daughter's dynamics through the news, and later saw the news that he and Xica were in love, and now they broke up again.
Taeyeon's mother had only seen photos of Zhang Pingan in some news reports before, and today was the first time she saw Zhang Pingan in person. He is tall and good-looking. My son told me that Zhang Pingan is a program producer. Some of the variety shows she usually watches are produced by Zhang Pingan. However, the most important point is that Zhang Pingan is Chinese.
When Taeyeon's mother looked at Zhang Pingan, he performed all the etiquette and bowed to Taeyeon's mother and greeted her: "Auntie, hello, I am Zhang Pingan, and also a good friend of Taeyeon."
After Zhang Pingan bowed and greeted her, Taeyeon's mother nodded, then took the initiative to extend her hand, shook Zhang Pingan, and then took his hand and patted it: "I heard from Taeyeon that you helped to produce all the albums this time. Thank you for your hard work, thank you for your hard work."
Zhang Pingan smiled and said: "It's not hard, because I am also a fan of Taeyeon and I like to listen to her singing. So this time it can be regarded as satisfying one of my selfish desires. The singer I like will sing the songs I composed, and all the songs are produced by me. Hehe, it seems that I am a very successful fan, right?"
Taeyeon's mother listened to Zhang Pingan's words and smiled and said: "Hahaha, success, success. I troubled you this time, and thank you for taking care of our Taeyeon."
Zhang Pingan said: "This time we go to New Zealand to shoot, we estimate that it will take a week, because we have to transfer, so you can follow us to see the production behind the scenes on the first day, and then I will arrange a local tour guide to take you to visit the local beauty."
