Chapter 733 Listening Carefully

“…”

Chi Jingyuan, who was listening to the opinions carefully, suddenly had a slight change in his eyes after hearing what Jin Enshu said.

Although this sister said it very tactfully, and she smiled and adjusted her glasses with a very friendly look, but... her meaning was very clear.

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

‘But after the vocals came out, I felt a little inappropriate…’

He just felt a blockage in his throat and didn’t know what to say.

All the vocals in this DEMO were sung by Chi Jingyuan himself… The prelude raised the sense of anticipation, and the vocals did not catch up with this expectation. Isn’t it just that you think his voice is not good.

It must be said that this is actually quite a blow to Chi Jingyuan, who is very confident in his singing skills and voice.

However, after a period of silence, Chi Jingyuan suddenly had a flash of inspiration and began to think.

When he wrote the song before and sang it himself, he always felt a little strange, always felt that something was missing, but he didn’t have time to distinguish it carefully. Now when he heard Jin Enshu say this, he reacted all of a sudden.

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

And it would be better if the female voice is more ethereal, and the male voice is lower in pitch, which can form a contrast and enrich the listening experience...

I just didn't think about this before. After being reminded of this by Kim Eun-sook, Chi Jingyuan, whose professional skills are still online, immediately came up with several ideas in his mind.

"Actually, now that you mention it, I also think that in some places, especially the main song, a female voice might be more suitable."

Although he was criticized for his "unsuitable voice", Ji Jingyuan was not dissatisfied. After thinking about it, he nodded and admitted this statement, and then smiled and praised: "Noona's feeling in this aspect is really accurate, not inferior to professionals."

"Haha, I just said it casually."

Kim Eun-sook smiled: "This song is really great. There are many places that can find the feeling of complementing the TV series itself, and you can tell it is a winter song as soon as you listen to it... Jingyuan, did you find inspiration from the script?"

"Yes, I changed a different perspective and reread the script many times... I have to say that Eun-sook Noona's script is really well written, and some details can create a lot of sense of substitution."

Kim Eun-sook was obviously very satisfied and liked this OST, and discussed the source of inspiration for the creation with Ji Jingyuan with great interest. After the two chatted for a while, they naturally talked about the topic of OST singer selection.

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

"Of course, Jingyuan will decide on the song production..." Kim Eun-sook first talked about a general issue, and then asked tentatively: "Who do you think is more suitable to sing this song?"

"Noona, what do you think?"

"If it is a duet, it is of course most appropriate to let the male and female protagonists in the drama participate in terms of publicity... What do you think of Suzy xi? Didn't you two form a limited group before..."

"As for her... um..."

Noona, you really pay attention to Kpop, you even know that we have formed a group...

Hearing Bae Suzy's name made Chi Jingyuan's expression suddenly become a little exciting. After a long pause, he tried to organize his words: "She may, um, not very suitable..."

Although Bae Suzy is a girl group idol, it is reasonable that she should be quite suitable to sing together... But Chi Jingyuan, who has worked with her on "Some", has experienced this woman's singing ability and has a certain understanding. This woman has a white voice and simple singing skills, and it is difficult for her to control some more complex songs.

Especially when it comes to singing, she is speechless. When she stands in front of the microphone, she feels dumb for a while, and the whole person becomes a lot more rigid... Chi Jingyuan thinks that if this woman can put the spirit of flirting in private into singing, there should be a qualitative change.

The torment during the recording at that time is still vivid in my mind.

She even had difficulty singing "some", let alone this. "Stay with me", this OST Chi Jingyuan found it difficult to sing when recording the demo.

Although these things can be solved by sound adjustment and post-production methods during recording, even if it is a live, you can not open the microphone, but... she should study the script carefully and focus on acting, and stop involving areas that she is not good at.

"Haha, I just said it casually."

Jin Enshu is also a smart person. She saw Chi Jingyuan's embarrassment in an instant. She smiled and waved her hand and stopped making suggestions.

Afterwards, the sister took the initiative to suggest that they have lunch together nearby, and after chatting about the TV series and the script, Chi Jingyuan said goodbye to her and got in the nanny car to go to the next destination.

In the back seat of the car, he thought about the conversation just now and fell into thought.

Although the production of "Stay with Me" will not start now, because the TV series will not be released until December, there is still a long time, but after Kim Eun-sook said this, and after he realized that Chi Jingyuan had decided to change this OST into a male and female duet, he couldn't help but start to consider the issue of cooperation.

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 of my friends who are big singers, but her ability is actually quite good. Although she is not particularly outstanding in all aspects, she is above the average level, and for some 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 shoot, 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. 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, I changed to Brother Shi. In comparison, I feel there is a slight gap."

"What about the gap... Which MC does Yuan xi want to work with? Zheng Hengdun xi?"

"Why do you say that?"

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

"Of course it's IU!"

...

"At the beginning, the arms were parallel upwards, about this distance, one, two..."

In EXO's practice room, Chi Jingyuan was learning the dance of the cooperation zone with the dance teacher alone. 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 him to make various dance moves.

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

"Tap, be rhythmic."

His elbow trembled slightly, making a tapping gesture.

"Step on the ground with your left foot, move."

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

"Very good, continue."

The song they collaborated with Yoo Jae-seok this time was "Dancing King", a samba-style dance song created by a well-known composer team that the company cooperated with.

This song was actually decided and written a long time ago. Chi Jingyuan had already heard it a few months ago. In general, the song is of a very high standard, the melody is catchy, and the overall rhythm is very strong. It makes people want to dance when they hear it. It is a very good dance song.

At the same time, in order to take care of Yoo Jae-seok, an older middle-aged man, the choreography of this song was specially made much simpler. Most of them are just very basic movements, without the kind of difficult movements and positions.

…If it was a very difficult dance like "Monster" or "Fire", even if Yoo Jae-seok was really focused and took time to practice for half a month, it would probably be difficult for him to be on the official stage in September. Even his old arms and legs might be injured during practice. Many of the steps and positions in EXO's dances are really not something that ordinary people can do.

Although the movements are a little simple, they are far from the level of radio gymnastics. Moreover, with the efforts of the professional choreography team, the overall choreography is very coherent and has a lot of sense.

It was late at night, but Chi Jingyuan didn't care at all. He was completely immersed in learning dance. He stood alone in the spacious practice room. The wooden floor under his feet was painted with various lines to help confirm the position and position, but at this time, he was the only one standing there, which seemed a little bit empty.

One by one, learning little by little, his movements went from being extremely unfamiliar at the beginning to becoming more and more familiar at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The voice-over did not make any sound throughout the whole process, but only used the camera to faithfully record his process from a beginner to a rapid mastery. The whole shooting process seemed a little serious, and the change of atmosphere was impressive, especially the humorous and relaxed chat in the elevator just now, and the seriousness and concentration at work now formed a sharp contrast.

The music of "dancing king" kept echoing in it:

"A-ya-ya"

"Dance all night~"
