Chapter V: Opinions Report
only participated in the recording for about half an hour before leaving.After that, when the next two episodes were filmed, Ji Jingyuan was still in Jeju Island. He had been delayed in his filming...Maintaining relationships and communication networks is also important this time of year, especially for families like theirs.
Although Chi Jingyuan doesn't really like socializing proactively and finds trouble rather annoying, he keeps his private personality to himself. As for important matters, he never shies away from them.
It is worth mentioning that at the end, the second brother specially took Chi Jingyuan to visit Li Xiuman.
Seeing the two brothers arrive at her door, Lee Xiu-man looked very surprised. She clearly hadn't expected them to visit her proactively. However, after her surprise, came joy, and she hurriedly ushered them into her home, greeting them with great warmth.
He also hurriedly let his two sons come out to meet Ji Jingyuan, happily introducing them and letting them get acquainted.
I heard that her two sons are studying in LA, USA and came back to visit him these days.
After that, they chatted in the living room for a while. Second brother and Lee Xiu-man talked about business matters, but they only skimmed the surface before changing the topic. They mentioned Chik Kyong-won's life at ** company and his performance as an entertainer.
Speaking of Li Xiuman, he was full of praise. In front of Ji Kyeong-seok, he kept boasting about Ji Kyeong-won's performance at the company and his talent as an artist.
"Jingyuan is truly a natural performer. Besides his good looks and excellent qualities, he has an innate charm that draws people's attention. He can maintain his popularity without the company actively investing resources in promoting him."
"And the creative talent is really amazing, this time EXO's comeback, the company decided to choose a song created by Jingyuan as the title track."
"Jǐngyuán, have you already heard the news that your return to the planning department has been decided"
"I've heard from my manager, Cheng Huan, about it, but I don't know the specifics."
Speaking of this, Lee Soo-man went on to talk about this project.
Lee Hyo-min probably also realized that Ji Kyeong-seok wasn't very satisfied with his younger brother's debut combination, which was going poorly. It seemed a bit inconsistent with his previous promise.
Taking this opportunity, he went on to explain the comeback plan, emphasizing how much the company values EXO and the substantial investment made for this comeback. He expressed confidence that it would enable EXO to overcome last year's difficulties.
At this point, he smiled and said to Ji Jingyuan, "I forgot to mention before, Jingyuan, although 'growl' was chosen as the title track, there are still some things about its style design, production, including clothing choices, MV filming and so on that the company is still discussing."
"EXO's comeback project is just missing the main song plan. As the creator of this song, your company attaches great importance to your opinion. I also promised you before that you will be involved in the production of this song."
The company will officially hold a meeting on the 20th. When you have free time these days, write me a report with your opinions and thoughts on this song. I will consider them carefully.
"Including choreography, I specifically hired a renowned foreign dance teacher to create the choreography plan for “Growl,” ready to be passed on to the company's choreographer to work on together with you."
It's unknown whether it was due to Pool Jingyuan's background, genuine admiration for him, or a desire to value his opinion as a lyricist and composer, but Lee Soo Man gave away a considerable portion of the production rights to this song.
Of course, this is just a suggestion at the moment. Whether to accept or reject it is ultimately up to him.
However, this attitude has already been shown. Judging by his appearance, it seems that he truly values Qi Jingyuan's opinion.
"Inside, I will try my best, Teacher Lee Hwa-man."
Chi Jingyuan performed a light bow and smiled in greeting.
This visit went very harmoniously. After sitting for a while, the brother left Lee Soo Man's house and returned to his own villa.
"Teacher Li Xiuman seems very enthusiastic."
On the way back in the car, Ji Jingyuan casually mentioned.
"Well, of course. After you joined **, we started collaborating with them in several other areas..."
"Never mind."
Chi Jingxu let out a chuckle. He was about to give a reasonable response, but stopped halfway through. He figured his younger brother probably wasn't very interested.
"Looking at Lee Soo-man's expression, the song you wrote really has potential, doesn't it" Ji Kyeong-seok finally showed some interest in Ji Kyeong-won's work.
"It should be fine, I think it's pretty good."
Then isn't your combination going to make a comeback this year
Perhaps it's more than just a turning point...
………………
On these two days of Chinese New Year, many people also came to Ji Jingyuan's house to visit, but this had little to do with him anymore. After lunch, he sat in Park Bo Gum's car and first went to the dormitory. After putting some things he brought from home, he returned to the company's practice room.
When he arrived, several members had already gotten there. They greeted each other with smiles and began chatting.
It didn't take long for all the members to gather. They all looked great, like they had a good rest during their well-deserved break.
I estimate their mood is so good, and the news of their return is also a pretty important reason.
After all, things are different when there's hope.
After the appointed time, the manager also arrived at the practice room. After Lee Seung-hwan gave a few congratulatory remarks, he didn't say much and let everyone start practicing for the stage the day after tomorrow. They might be a bit loose after several days without dancing, so they should avoid making mistakes when they get on stage.
The 15th is the day of the Golden Disc Awards, one of the two most prestigious awards in the peninsula music industry. This year it will be held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The company has already booked tomorrow's flight, and they will fly directly to Malaysia after waking up early.
If nothing unexpected happens, this time the Daesang for the Golden Disk Awards in the record category will likely go to their K team.
Well... the award belongs solely to Team K, and if we're going to receive it, it would be Team K up on stage. However, the performance stage is for all 12 of us, so Team M needs to go too.
After a few simple greetings, the members began practicing. They had practiced for quite some time for the stage on the 15th, so this time they mainly reviewed it.
After returning from their break, several members seemed a bit out of sync. Their positioning and cues were off, and some even forgot their moves. It took them a while to get back into the groove.
After practicing for a while, it was time for a break. Wu Shih-hsuan grabbed a bottle of water, took a swig, and plopped down next to Ji Jingyuan.
He watched Chi Jingyuan holding a white piece of paper and writing and drawing on it. He glanced at it curiously and casually muttered, "
"It is suggested that the MV adopts Oake, which is a one-take filming technique without editing and post-production, so as to express..."
"What are you writing"
"Want to read a novel, Wu Shih-Hsun's Adventures in the Forbidden City"
Chi Jingyuan glanced at him before looking away, continuing to write while casually saying something.
This novel is first published on the Traditional Chinese Novel Network., other black fan gathering places seemed somewhat deserted at this time. There was no such exciting screen-sweeping feeling, and it took a while for a few familiar faces to post messages."This is a p...
