Chapter 343 Winter Single
Both hands tapped on the keyboard quickly, the speed of the lyrics appearing in the document hardly stopped, appearing one after another like mercury pouring down the ground.

After finishing writing, Chi Jingyuan read it from the beginning to the end, and smiled suddenly when he watched it.

He finds it very interesting: Most of the lyrics in the whole text are what he and Pei Zhuxuan said yesterday when they were chatting by the river, and the rest are some associations and romantic embellishments he added.

I don't know what expression the other party will have when they hear the sound source of this song.

In the end, when the cursor was on the top, Chi Jingyuan was a little hesitant, and the whole person calmed down, silently thinking about himself, Pei Zhuxuan, and the various setbacks and unfavorable situations that EXO and even red velvet encountered recently, and pondered. After a while, he chuckled, sat up straight and typed the title of the song:
"Let's go with the flow"

This title should be the best explanation of their mood and current situation at this time. Some of the words and feelings they want to say to fans or other people are all placed in the title and lyrics of this song. I believe Aili listen to it You should be able to feel the meaning after that.

Chi Jingyuan thinks this song is quite suitable for their winter single this year, both in meaning and melody. It should be more suitable than "December, 2014", which was originally planned to be used as a game promotional song.

Thinking of this, Chi Jingyuan suddenly remembered that he hadn't heard the demo of this song yet, and just now he was free, so he took advantage of the opportunity to open the file, clicked on the audio that the staff had sent to him yesterday, put on the earphones and listened.

"Let down snow like you."

"Pile up softer."

"Then the winter melted away and the snow melted, and you shone like you fell into the world."

After listening to it a few times, Chi Jingyuan opened his eyes and nodded secretly. In his opinion, this song is pretty good, at least not as perfunctory as the company's planned public method. It is a soothing song with a quality above the level The lyrics are OK, and the meaning is also something to say to fans, explaining some promises with fans and expressing some feelings of love.

And I don't know who the company asked to sing the demo. The singer's voice was a little hard and hoarse, which didn't match the melody. Chi Jingyuan felt that if he sang with a softer voice, the effect might be better.

However, comparing the two, Chi Jingyuan thinks "Let It Be Natural" is more suitable for EXO's current situation, and he also thinks the former is better in terms of melody.

He is going to complete this song as soon as possible and record a demo and hand it over to Li Xiuman as one of the candidates for this winter single.

If the winter single is selected as "Let It Be Natural", then this song "December, 2014" had better not be wasted, as a game promotional song is actually barely acceptable.

Chi Jingyuan thought about it for a while, and after making up his mind, he took out his mobile phone and checked the time, it was only past eleven o'clock.

I stood up and made a cup of hot coffee. I guess I have to work overtime here today.

If the winter special is to be released in December, there is not much time left for planning and song selection. After the demo is handed in, the company will definitely have a meeting to discuss it. The earlier the song is completed, the more time it will have to prepare.

……

Espresso has many benefits for overtime work. It can reduce sleepiness and cheer people up, but it does not help with rest and sleep.

Yesterday, in order to improve various arrangements, Chi Jingyuan was busy until [-] o'clock before going back to rest. This morning, he rushed to the crew to start filming. He seemed sleepy and seemed not in good spirits.

However, he has been used to this kind of day and night rotation countless times. Although he is really not energetic, it will not affect his work. As long as he stands in front of the camera, he will wake up immediately and use [-]% of his energy to deal with it.

This is also one of the skills that idols and actors must master, especially for popular artists who often stay up late.

It was the break time for lunch, and Chi Jingyuan, who had just finished filming, was sitting at a desk, eating the sweet and sour pork and rice prepared by the crew.

The meals of the crew of "Misaeng" are really different from the crews he stayed in before, because the live-action filming was done in Seoul Plaza, when eating here, you either go to the cafeteria, or directly eat the meals prepared by the crew, and there is no separate Instead, just find a desk and use it directly. It really looks like a white-collar worker who is busy with work and has no time to go out to eat.

While eating, he was replying to the message that Zheng Endi just sent with his mobile phone.

"I feel like the second half of your EXO is really not going well. Is there something wrong with your company's feng shui?"

Zheng Eundi sent a message when he was just starting to eat, probably because he saw the news about Tao leaving the team yesterday and wanted to ask him what was going on and if there was anything wrong with him. After a while, he found that Chi Jingyuan looked normal and natural So I felt relieved and didn't say any more. After chatting for a few words, my true colors were soon revealed, with obvious teasing in my tone.

From her words, I feel that she is in a pretty good mood.

Seeing the news from the other party, Chi Jingyuan sneered, Zheng Endi is not good at venomous tongue-in-cheek, but he is addicted to food, I don't know how many times he has jumped his feet and still doesn't improve his memory, and he likes to take the initiative to provoke.

After taking a big mouthful of rice, he put down his chopsticks and quickly tapped on the phone with both hands:
"Maybe, I also think there is one thing, your ACUBE's feng shui is good, and you have such an outstanding young actress representative as Zheng Eundixi, I envy (thumbs up)."

"The people who filmed the new trending TV series are so arrogant, cut, let you be arrogant for a few days. (Put out tongue)"

The strange thing is that this time the other party was not in a hurry, but instead acted generously.

It seems that I am in a really good mood.

"Are you guys coming back?" Chi Jingyuan didn't continue to complain about her ratings poison, but asked another matter.

Recently, apink has not been active in the local peninsula. They held their first performance in Neon Tokyo in August. Because the response was very good, they urgently added a performance in Osaka. After that, they released the Japanese version of several popular songs and performed in October. Officially debuted in Neon in May.

Chi Jingyuan didn't know the specific situation, but judging from the various drafts issued by the company and the various rainbow farts posted by fans on the Internet, their development in Neon should be pretty good.

This morning, apink's management company announced that the group plans to come back with a new album on November 11th. Because apink's previous comebacks have been successful, the title song has gained a lot of popularity and has become one of the three generations of girl groups. One of the most eye-catching idol combinations, so it immediately attracted a lot of attention when the news came out.

"Kkkkkkkkkkk haha ​​yes..." A bunch of onomatopoeic words were sent, showing actor Zheng and his happy mood.

Chi Jingyuan turned back while eating: "So happy? So you are coming back very well this time?"

"kkk Anyway, I think this time is very good, both the makeup and style are great, and the title song is also very good."

"How good is it?"

"Hmm... It feels like even if I touch your EXO, I can knock you into the air hahahaha (show muscles)."

After seeing it, Chi Jingyuan was stunned for a moment, chewing the sweet and sour meat in his mouth and swallowing it.

He thought he was wrong, when Zheng Eunji was afraid of being hit by EXO during the period of "Addiction" in May, why did he become so arrogant now?

Hit and fly EXO?Is it a little crazy?
Did she forget that the previous candidate's score was doubled by them?

For many years, the women’s groups in the peninsula music industry are inherently disadvantaged when fighting against the men’s groups. The main fans of the women’s groups are men, while the men’s groups are women.And the vast majority of male fans are not opponents of female fans when it comes to making rankings, swiping tickets, buying albums, supporting idols, etc., and they are far less fanatical and willing to spend money than girls fans of the [-]th and [-]th generations
If a girl group of the same level returns to meet a popular boy group head-on, in addition to the stamina of the sound source may be better than the opponent, in many cases he will have obvious disadvantages in various aspects.

So far, Girls' Generation has been able to beat the trendy boy group head-on in the same period.

Even now that EXO has left two people in a row, it is in a precarious time, but even if it has declined a lot, it is only compared with their previous self. With a huge fan base here, Apink is still far behind.

"Endixi is a little too arrogant, isn't she?"

"Hmph, the era of your EXO has passed, now it's our Apink's turn to appear hahahaha..."

The more she talked about Zheng Endi, the more embarrassing she became, and Chi Jingyuan could imagine her grinning wildly while sending messages while holding her mobile phone with her mouth wide open.

But it seems that she is really confident about their return this time.

"Then... fighting? Let me see what Apink's era looked like?"

Chi Jingyuan refueled against his will, curled his lips and cursed in his heart.

With so much to say, if Apink's grades hit the street and he returns invalid, Zheng Eundi probably won't have the face to appear in front of him again for at least half a year.

Putting down the phone, Chi Jingyuan speeded up and finished the rest of the meal, then seized the time to close his eyes and rest for a while, then started working again.

Because the producer and director have done a good job of coordinating, and all the actors have performed well, especially Chi Jingyuan and Li Xingmin, who are very familiar with their roles after entering the role. The filming progress of "Weisheng" has always been very fast.

From the start of the broadcast to the present, apart from the two episodes that are broadcast every week, several levels have been edited. Chi Jingyuan has already narrated the episodes that will not be broadcast until the end of November. Even if the crew is suspended for some reason Can last a week or two.

However, with such a good progress, Chi Jingyuan’s daily workload is still quite heavy. His scenes have now begun to be intensively filmed in the past few days, because in a few days he will arrive at the neon field of EXO’s tour. In November, there will be two This time, there will be a total of six concerts for three days in a row, and he will be away from the set for nearly a week, so now he must work hard in advance to capture his full share.

EXO's tour in Neon is not like some platter concerts these days. Whether Chi Jingyuan goes or not will have a big impact, whether it is for SM, EXO or even Chi Jingyuan himself. It is very important for EXO.

Although EXO has not officially debuted in Neon, but thanks to their high popularity in Asia, the channel SM has cultivated for many years and the high popularity of SMtown there, EXO has already harvested a large number of people before their debut. neon fans, many people like them very much or keep following them.

And because of the TV series, Chi Jingyuan's popularity in Neon is also extraordinary, especially last year's "The Heirs" seems to be not only popular in Peninsula and Xia Kingdom, but also caused a lot of repercussions in Neon .

When SBS sold the broadcasting copyright contract last year, Neon was one of the highest bidders, and this year's "Heirs" DVD-BOX II, which was released on October 2 this year, also performed very well. It was on the first day of release. The DVD ranks No. [-] during the day. As the leading actor, Chi Jingyuan has gained a large number of fans through this shareholder style. His influence and popularity are not limited to those who follow Kpop.

According to SM's internal statistics, EXO's most popular member in Neon is Ji Jingyuan, and this time Fukuoka, Tokyo tour has a total of six concerts with nearly 8 tickets sold, many fans who bought tickets are all for Yuan Yes, if he doesn't go, he doesn't know what kind of moths will appear among the fans who bought tickets.

At the same time, because the members of the Xiaguo line left the group one after another, EXO’s activities and development in the mainland of Xiaguo were hit hard. SM will definitely start to consider adjusting the future development focus of EXO according to the current situation, and pay more attention to the neon market. a lot,

So Chi Jingyuan will definitely be there, and this will also have a lot of benefits for his development and popularity in Neon.

This is also what SM and the "Misheng" crew had communicated in advance, and the crew had already prepared for his leave. It is also part of the plan to focus on filming his scenes so early in advance.

…………

“You shine like the stars.”

"You light up my heart."

"When today's trial is over, please shine a bright light on me."

In the music room, Jin Junmian couldn't help singing along with the accompaniment. He closed his eyes and covered his ears with his hands, looking very devoted, as if he was performing on stage.

Look at his appearance, I really like this song "Let It Be Natural".

And should I say it or not, the falsetto sung by Jin Junmian is very emotional and full of emotion, and it sounds very good.

His vocal strength is actually quite strong, and he is not much weaker than the four major lead singers in EXO. It should not be a problem for him to be the lead singer of other boy groups that are not as good.

Several other members also stood by and listened carefully and silently sang along, nodding their heads from time to time, looking very devoted.

Today is already November 11th, and the nine members of EXO are gathering in the music room to audition and practice the song "Let It Be Natural".

After several days of staying up all night and working overtime, Chi Jingyuan finally completed the arrangement of "Let It Be Natural". After recording a demo, he handed it over to Li Xiuman. At the same time, he explained to him his thoughts on EXO's winter single Some suggestions, even including the shooting of the MV, he already has some ideas.

After listening to the demo, especially the lyrics, Li Xiuman also understood what Chi Jingyuan wanted to express in this song. After listening to it a few times, he also felt that the release of this song was very appropriate in the current situation of EXO.

Whether it's the melody or the lyrics, after listening to it, it's as if a ray of sunshine shines into the dark sky. It's beautiful, gentle, and the visual sense of the narration is like praying and telling.

It just corresponds to the time when several members of EXO have left the group one after another, the outside world is looking down, the fan base is in turmoil, and they urgently need stability and comfort to give them some hope.

It may not be easy for passers-by and listeners to say, but fans and allies will definitely like the emotion and meaning expressed in this song.

Seeing Chi Jingyuan's serious look, Li Xiuman also nodded seriously, expressing that he would consider it carefully.

After that, I don't know how he held a meeting with the planning department. Anyway, after two days, he finally decided on EXO's December winter single.

And the project was officially announced to EXO members last night, and it was confirmed that "Been Through (Let it be)" will be selected as the comeback song of XO's winter single, and the MV will be shot and publicized song, but due to the tight schedule and some other considerations, this comeback will not release a physical album but only a digital single.

Also due to time constraints, this song will only be released in Korean, and the version with Chinese lyrics will be released later.

At the same time, the song playing activity should be shortened as much as possible, and the company will arrange the playing time of this song according to the reaction on the Internet and the itinerary.However, it may only last for about a week at most. At that time, EXO will spend the rest of its time and energy on preparing for the official second album next year, except for the stage at the end of the year.

To put it bluntly, this winter single is mainly to give fans some feedback and comfort, as well as to do some warm-up. The real highlight, resources and energy will be put on next year's comeback.

The plan for coming back next year hasn't been made yet, but it won't be long before I think about it, and the official preparations must have started by then.

A release date for "Let It Be" hasn't been officially confirmed, but it's expected to be released in early December.

It's just a lyrical single, without the most difficult choreography and dance practice, mainly recording and filming MV and makeup photos, etc. There is no problem with the time.

And the original single "December, 2014" was not wasted. Now that "Let It Be" has been selected as the return of the winter song, Chi Jingyuan doesn't care whether to promote the game or not. Under the company's arrangement, this song It will still be released according to the original plan, and will be released through the mobile game "Super Star SMTOWN".

And in order to make up for the fact that "Let It Be Natural" does not have a version written by Xia Wen due to time constraints, "December, 2014", which has already completed the lyrics, will produce two versions in Korean and Xia Wen, which can be regarded as a comfort to Xia Guo fans.

Not all members of EXO participated in this song, but just like last year's "December Miracle", the company still only arranged a few lead singers to record this song, and the others were responsible for making soy sauce and watching.

But the official winter song "Let It Be Natural" is all together, and the other members of this "game promotional song" don't pay much attention to it, so it doesn't matter.

After listening to the demo of "Let It Be Natural" yesterday, several members, such as Kim Junmyeon and Do Kyungsoo, liked this song very much, and they kept humming it after going back to the dormitory at night.

The practice officially started today. At this time, all 9 people gathered in the music room and were auditioning with the repertoire that had already been assigned a part. The company's music teacher was there to assist and give pointers.

"In the gray sky, there must be a brighter light."

After singing a chorus, Jin Junmian was still a little unsatisfied. He read a line he liked very much, and then looked at Chi Jingyuan next to him and smacked his lips: "I feel that the lyrics of this song are really suitable for our current situation. , The writing is really good...Jing Yuan, how did you write these words?"

"The quiet air and gentle warm wind always accompany me regardless of the weather, yeah."

Wu Shixun recited his part softly, repeating it back and forth several times as if reciting.

It is worth mentioning that in this winter single, Sehun Oh still only has this pitiful line of lyrics throughout the whole song, and it is not sung, but rapped.

When Chi Jingyuan got the scores of the parts, he almost couldn't help laughing when he saw it. In the end, he was concerned about Wu Shixun's face and mood, so he didn't show any emotion on his face, but he forcibly suppressed the sense of humor in his heart. .

Even if Geer was created by Chi Jingyuan, the part is not assigned to him but arranged by the company. However, he can give some suggestions and the company will definitely focus on reference, but it is not necessary.

Chi Jingyuan didn't know how he would feel if he saw the whole comeback song with only one line, but if it was Wu Shixun...

He should be used to it.

"I didn't come up with it."

Hearing Jin Junmian's question, Chi Jingyuan, who was reading the score, smiled, and didn't hide it: "I also heard it from others."

"Hey, you're all your own, why are you pretending?"

Jin Junmian curled his lips to express his disbelief at all, and Wu Shixun also glanced at him unhappily, expressing mercilessly that Chi Jingyuan was really putting on an act.

Wu Shixun, this...was venting anger, right?

Seeing that he told the truth and the members didn't believe it at all, Chi Jingyuan squinted his eyes and smiled without explaining again.

Anyway, those who understand will understand as soon as they hear it.

After finishing speaking, he casually glanced around, but secretly sighed in his heart.

There are only nine members of EXO in this music room, and Lay didn't come.

After Luhan left, Lay and Tao renegotiated with the company and put forward a lot of demands, and when Tao also left, and only Lay was left with Xia Guo's only seedling, he naturally received more attention from the company, Chi Jing Yuan knew that he had been communicating and negotiating with the company with his family and team since a few days ago.

I don't know how they talked about it specifically, and I don't know what decision the company has made, but it is obvious that EXO has undergone formal changes. For example, this time "Let It Be Natural" only nine people participated, and Lay was not present.

The most ironic thing is that after entering the music room, everyone immediately noticed that Lay hadn't come, but few people were surprised.

Except for the captain Jin Junmian who took the initiative to communicate with the agent after finding out that there were few people, everyone including Chi Jingyuan did not express any objection or doubt about this.

Indeed, they had expected it a long time ago.
