Chapter 699 Let’s Come Together

"well……"

Park Zhenying sighed, his tone containing deep emotion and frustration.

In his opinion, if Chi Jingyuan followed his brother to JYP first, the one with the highest stock price among the three major stock prices might be JYP. How could he persist in a desperate struggle for a few years and then put his trust in a new person? Above the girl group

"Haha..." Chi Jingyuan was amused by his slightly exaggerated expression. He looked around at the eight members of Twice, shook his head and comforted perfunctorily: "Maybe if I come to JYP, I will take another path. Well...and isn’t my company Twice now?”

Although JYP's stock has not yet risen significantly, it is obviously much better than the last two and a half years. No one has mentioned the nickname "Frappuccino" for some time.

Especially with the explosion of Twice this time, it has injected new energy into the entire company of JYP. If Twice can continue to develop smoothly, it is foreseeable that JYP will come back to life and improve the predicament of previous years.

Although, even if it rebounds, it may still be far away from SM having EXO...

"Ha ha……"

Park Zhenying laughed and looked around at the girls around her. Her expressions were kind and kind, and she was obviously very satisfied with Twice.

Although this incident about Chi Jingyuan had always stuck in his throat at first, now that it was over, he just took the opportunity to recall that it was actually mostly a performance, and he soon recovered, and turned to look at Chi with a smile. Jingyuan: "At that time, you were almost a member of our family, and with the subsequent cooperation and shareholding matters, I actually always regarded you, Jingyuan, as one of my own..."

His small eyes narrowed into a straight line, and his smile was a little cunning: "Maybe after your contract with SM expires, you will transfer to us..."

"My contract? Brother, are you thinking too far ahead? It's still early for my contract to expire..."

Chi Jingyuan shook his head and did not answer his words.

His contract was signed separately. Compared with the contracts of other EXO members, the restrictions in it are much looser. It is a contract specially prepared by SM for him and can be called a preferential treatment.

However, relatively speaking, the length of his contract is the same as others' agreed seven years. It has only been more than four years since it was signed in 2012, and it will not be considered for renewal until 1819.

...Although to be honest, the contract does not restrict him very much.

After a two-second pause, Chi Jingyuan picked up the wine glass and shook it. Feeling the looming sights around him, he looked at Park Zhenying jokingly and continued: "Besides, even if the contract expires, I really don't dare to come..."

Seeing Park Zhenying's confused look, Chi Jingyuan pursed his lips to the side: "Because... brother, do your artists have too many schedules? As far as I've come into contact, not to mention others, it's just Twice's." The number of activities planned during the non-return period is scary. When I was making "Cheer Up", I saw that they didn't even have time to sleep, let alone during the return period. I felt horrible when I saw the schedule... …”

"I feel like EXO is not as busy as Twice right now..."

Hearing that their own affairs were suddenly discussed, the girls next to them also slowed down their movements. While listening to Chi Jingyuan's words, they carefully looked at Park Zhenying.

This brother's smile became a little embarrassed.

Chi Jingyuan shrugged, raised his eyes and recalled: "I remember that the busiest period since EXO's debut was probably... it should have been the "Roar" period in 2013.

Because my previous debut was not a success, and during that time, the song’s activities suddenly gained a lot of popularity, so the company arranged a lot of schedules, and there was very little time for rest. At that time, I remember that I could only I caught up on some sleep in the lounge and in the nanny's car...but now that I think about it, it was just like Twice before. "

JYP doesn’t know whether it’s because of the psychological shadow of being on the streets in the past few years or because it finally found a way to escape the quagmire. Twice’s workload has been exaggerated since they debuted well. From the time they debuted in October last year until now, except for a month at the beginning of the year, It's a bit leisurely, and at other times, even if it's not the return period, the schedule is full.

Needless to say, when it comes to the "cheer up" activity period, Chi Jingyuan feels scary and a little confused after watching it...

How popular are you? Why are you busier than us?

Other artists under JYP are quite normal. For example, the schedules of boy groups such as Day6 and GOT7 are quite normal, but they just fucked a new girl group, maybe because Twice can make money... Chi Jingyuan didn't dare to think, With his ability to attract money, if he joins JYP, will his stage name be changed to thrice?

SM is okay here, because it has more foundation. Even though EXO has become the biggest cash cow, it has not arranged any death schedule. Even because of the celebrity and the company's image setting of EXO, many low-end variety shows and activities have been I stopped answering them at all, and sometimes even seemed more leisurely.

Except for special times when all kinds of schedules and preparation activities are crowded together, other schedules are relatively normal. Even during the return period, he can even find time to play games and fall in love - this is what makes Chi Jing The source is quite satisfied.

Ji Jingyuan looked at Park Jinying, smiling innocently:

"I'm actually quite lazy, and I may not be able to sustain such a heavy workload."

"Uh hehe..." Facing Ji Jingyuan's joking questioning, Park Jinying covered it up with a slightly embarrassed smile.

Park Jinying certainly knew that sometimes the schedule arrangement for his group seemed a bit too much.

Although he himself was a singer, he would appear to be more approachable when communicating and getting along with his artists, but no matter how kind he was, when operating the company and the group, his position was definitely on the side of the company, and in fact, there was no essential difference from managers like Lee Soo-man and Yang Hyun-suk.

It was not easy for Park Jinying to directly tell Ji Jingyuan in front of others, "You are different from Twice. If you came, we would not dare to arrange so much work for you."

However, with his thick skin, he certainly wouldn't be stumped by such things. He glanced at Sun Caiying and Zhou Ziyu next to him and said, "They all worked hard in their rookie period. Every group is like this. Now is the best time for Twice to accumulate popularity..."

"That's right..." Chi Jingyuan nodded with a smile, without saying much. He just mentioned it casually, as an excuse to decline Park Jinying's hint of invitation just now.

He saw that although there might be a lot of schedules, the girls of Twice felt that they were happy to do it.

Tiredness is not the key. After all, compared to tiredness, in their hearts, popularity is the most important thing... It is exactly the same as the mentality of EXO at the beginning, and even the mentality of all rookies in the circle.

Some people don't even have the chance to be tired...

At this time, although Zhou Ziyu, Minatozaki Sana, Mingjing Minami and other girls were wearing private clothes, some of them still had fatigue in their eyebrows, but everyone's mental state looked very good.

Everyone is dressed up beautifully, Zhou Ziyu's waist-baring short top with jeans, Minato Saki's pleated skirt, Mingjing Minami's one-shoulder bat shirt...

Compared to when they just debuted and when they were preparing for the album a few months ago, everyone looks mature and more confident. At first glance, their eyebrows and eyes are shining, and their eyes are full of charm. Under this kind of spirit and temperament, they have a charm that makes people admire.

Even a little kid like Zhou Ziyu looks a little eye-catching.

Chi Jingyuan sees it clearly and feels it clearly.

Popularity is really nourishing. Popularity is the best cosmetic.

"And their comeback period is about to end. After these two days of work, there will be a holiday for everyone to have a good rest..."

As if he didn't want to leave a bad impression on Ji Jingyuan, Park Jinying added another sentence and took the initiative to change the topic: "Then they will start preparing for their new album."

When he said this, Ji Jingyuan also aroused his interest. He blinked and looked at him: "Oh? Coming back again? Have you decided on the song?"

All industry insiders and even fans can see that this year 2016 is a very obvious year of girl group replacement. Because of age and various reasons such as man-made disasters, the old generation of girl groups such as Girls' Generation, Apink, and AOA have obviously failed. The new generation of girl groups have all blossomed this year, one more conspicuous than the other.

Red Velvet, which was originally in the leading position, fell behind because of the return of "July 7th", while Gfriend and Twice soared to the sky with a hit song respectively. At present, these two girl groups have shown their potential to compete for the first girl group of the new generation.

Twice's next comeback is very important to them. Will they be able to continue the popularity of "Cheer Up" and establish their own position while the iron is hot, or will they fail and fall behind in the competition with the same generation of girl groups and return to their original form? This time it depends on them.

But it seems that... Red Vevet is also in this situation, or even more serious.

"The included songs are still being selected, but the title song has been almost confirmed."

"Is it the song you wrote this time?" Chi Jingyuan asked curiously.

He was quite curious, but he didn't have much interest in participating this time. He also had to prepare his solo, the group's re-released album, concerts, subway songs and even TV dramas. He was already busy with his work.

The Twice members next to them also smiled and looked at the two people, not too surprised, obviously they had known before.

"Yes, it is a song written in the style of 'energetic and cute' designed by you, Jingyuan. If you are interested, I will send you the demo and give you some advice."

"Well, I am a famous girl group singer. You don't need my advice on your level..."

"Haha, you just like to be modest, don't you know? After Taeyeonxi's "I" and "Cheer Up", you are the famous girl group singer in the industry recently. I don't know how many companies and groups want to cooperate with you..."

"Qingjia? Why haven't I heard of it...Does the new title song have a name?"

"Yes, I will send it to you when I get back. It's called "very very very""

…………

We had a good chat, the food tasted good, and the beautiful neighbor made the meal quite enjoyable.

Except for Zhou Ziyu, this was the first time for Chi Jingyuan to have a private meal with the rest of Twice. Although he did not have the perfect filter that Twice fans had for their idols, it felt quite novel to have dinner and chat with a group of teenage idols. of.

Although most of the girls couldn't let go because of Park Zhenying's presence, Chi Jingyuan still noticed a lot of interesting things, especially the eating habits of certain people.

Sun Chaeyoung was the most interesting. She was sitting next to Park Jinying but she kept eating and didn't pay much attention to the leader's speech. Her mouth kept moving and her eating posture was very contagious... Chi Jingyuan even noticed that Park Jinying looked at her in the middle. After several glances, the little girl didn't notice it.

Zhou Ziyu is still the same, sitting in a very upright posture. Every time he eats, he has to lower his head and tuck his hair behind his ears. Sometimes he has to put his left hand under his mouth to catch it, as if he is worried about the food falling. While eating, he noticed Chi Jingyuan's gaze, and then his face turned red, and he was embarrassed to hold back a smile.

Mingjing Nan eats in small sips and speaks softly. Her movements are very skillful and even a little graceful. She feels as if she has received special training. The way she chews with her mouth lightly covered is very elegant and inexplicably attractive.

Next to her, Lin Nalian kept stuttering, but Chi Jingyuan always felt that she seemed uncomfortable.

As for Minatozaki Sashachi Keigen, I don’t know why. She seems to be a little inexplicably excited. She keeps looking at him while eating, and she smiles weirdly from time to time, as if she is possessed by something...

Thinking of this, Chi Jingyuan looked back at Minazaki Saka. She was holding Nai Minami's arm and whispering something. She still had a greasy smile and pouted, almost kissing her name. Jing Nan's ears went up.

At this time, the dinner party has ended. A group of people came out of the box and walked in the aisle. Chi Jingyuan and Park Jinying took the lead in chatting in the front. Twice and JYP staff followed behind, not following closely. There were four or five meters distance.

"That's right." Just as he was talking, Park Jinying next to him suddenly mentioned something: "JYP Nation will be held in a while, Jingyuan, do you know?"

"Ah? I know, I've heard of it."

Hearing him mention this, Chi Jingyuan paused, nodded, and said with a smile: "It will be held in August, right? I have seen some of your live broadcasts on VAPP..."

JYP Nation is actually JYP's family concert, a joint performance in which all its artists will participate...it is actually the same nature as SM Company's SM TOWN.

However, because JYP has not been developing smoothly in recent years and does not have top-level mainstay artists to attract box office, it is far inferior to SM Town in terms of scale and influence. SM Town holds world tour performances every year, and there are still several It's hard to get a ticket for the huge stadium with 10,000 people, and the last time JYP Nation held it was in 2014, and it only happens once every two years.

SM TOWN has lineups like EXO, TVXQ, Girls' Generation, SJ, JYP Nation has lineups like 2PM, WG, GOT7, day6, etc...

How can this compare?

By the way, there will be another Twice this year...

Some time ago, JYP announced that it would re-organize JYP Nation this year. Park Jin Young personally composed the theme song for the concert, and also created a gimmick of dividing the theme song into parts, allowing many artists to team up and broadcast live on V APP for promotion. Ji Kyung Won Occasionally, I clicked in and watched it twice...

how to say.

The live broadcast content is boring and embarrassing. It is difficult to understand that there are so many movements and gimmicks to divide the parts, but in the end the "rock paper scissors" method is used to decide which genius came up with the idea of ​​the part.

"Oh, you said that, haha..."

Hearing Ji Kyung-won mention the live broadcast, Park Jin-young couldn't help but laugh twice: "This is a family concert after two years. This year is the year when the company is back on track. Everyone in the company is very excited about this JYP Nation." We attach great importance to it, hoping to expand our influence and increase some stock prices. We have made a lot of preparations for this, including publicity, hardware, stage design, and many cooperation stages...

Then, in addition to the usual practice of inviting many parents and relatives of artists to come to support the children, many company executives will also come to watch. Jingyuan and your family have a lot of shares in the company, so they are all our own. In addition to replacing Director Cui who holds shares, I also sent an invitation to your brother Jingxu Xi a few days ago. If you are interested, you can watch the children's performance together. "

"he?"

Chi Jingyuan was not surprised when Park Zhenying invited him. He had already expected it when he heard the brother mention it just now...but he was a little surprised by his brother Chi Jingxu's invitation.

He remembered that during EXO's first concert, SM had invited all the parents of the members, including the second brother. The second brother was also very considerate, but he only said a few words to him backstage. I just left without watching the official performance at all.

Although his brother was noisy, funny, and easy to talk to when we got along with him, his arrogance was deep-rooted when he came into contact with other people. It was just not obvious because of his good tutoring.

Even though he was very gentle and polite when he met the parents of other EXO members, he was actually doing it for his brother's sake.

If it weren't for Chi Jingyuan, he probably wouldn't pay attention to Kpop at all... He might be more interested in his brother's dating girls than the stage.

Chi Jingyuan couldn't help laughing, looking at Park Jinying, and shook his head: "He should... not be interested in this kind of thing, right?"

"Huh? No!"

Hearing Chi Jingyuan's words, Park Jinying also seemed a little surprised, blinking his eyes and looking at him: "When I talked to Jingxuxi on the phone some time ago..."

"It seems that he is quite interested."
