Chapter 20: The Reason for Passion
work really caught my eye. I even took a look at your age – it's amazing how good you are at dancing at such a young age...""May peace be with you."I chose the colored collar."I chose Sana."After comm..."I didn't realize it, they look so good..."
Kim Tae Yeon rounded her eyes, glanced at the sheet music in her hand, then at Ji-yeong's face beside her. She said something with a hint of surprise, then put on a seductive expression and looked at him with longing as she said:
Although it's not my style, the melody is really good. Wuli Jingyuan is really amazing.
Taeyeon probably didn't take much acting class during her trainee days. The expression she made was exaggerated and greasy, causing the surrounding sisters to complain and make disgusted faces.
"Hmph, Jingyuan is so young, not even an adult yet, how could he write a song like this, the kind that only someone your age would like"
Sunny made a timely remark, and her narrowed eyes and provocative expression were very vivid.
"Oh, here you are again. I'm still young, how many times do I have to say this And we're the same age, what are you so proud of"
Taeyeon glared back angrily.
They were giggling and having fun, Taeyeon's work level is really strong, she picked up the sheet music very quickly, after practicing a few times, the two of them went into the recording booth to start recording.
This song was a melody that Chi Jingyuan heard in a dream. However, he didn't copy it exactly, but made some modifications of his own.
In the version he heard in his dream, this duet was sung by both male and female voices, with roughly equal parts. However, compared to the male voice, the female voice stood out more. After listening, it felt a bit imbalanced, as if the male voice was just a featured guest vocalist, leaving far less of an impression than the female voice.
This has a lot to do with singing skills and the expression of emotions. Chi Jingyuan believes these two aspects are his strengths, and if he were to perform it, it would be much better.
And this time, the temporary combination was ultimately aimed at boosting their own popularity and fame. He naturally wouldn't let the other party outshine him, so he made some changes.
He doesn't really like male voices that are too soft.
"This was just a demo recording, not a formal session, and it didn't need to be perfect. After several attempts, Ji-yeong listened to the results and was fairly satisfied. He thanked Taeyeon and the others."
"It's a small thing, next time if there's something like this remember to find me! You know Nuna's singing skills." Taeyeon smiled and pulled a few people together for a photo, then waved goodbye.
"Cut…"
…………
"Oh, not bad, oh..."
"Wow, that's strange. Wuli Jingyuan actually took the time out of his busy schedule to call me proactively…" A yin-yang vibe came from the phone, but it was clear he was in a good mood.
“…………”
Silence.
"Come on, what's up" Seeing that his younger brother wasn't responding to him, Chi Jingxu stopped teasing him and asked.
"
“Well, here’s the thing…”
"
Chi Jingyuan and his second brother told him about their purpose, which was related to recent cooperation with JYP.
He felt Park Jin-yeong wasn't just looking for a simple collaboration, because he seemed too proactive. Even Ji Seong-won, who was usually enthusiastic, was taken aback by his fervor and felt a little uneasy.
"Sure, it feels like the entertainment industry is really tough. You've matured a lot since before."
After hearing what Ji Jingyuan had to say, Second Brother paused for a moment before giving him a compliment and then replied without hesitation: "That's right, I understand. JYP hasn't been doing well in the past few years..."
Through his older brother's explanation, Ji Jingyuan understood a lot. The gist was that JYP's recent situation wasn't good. Aside from not finding new growth points, its annual revenue has been declining year by year, making the financial reports look bleak. Most importantly, LOEN, the major shareholder of the company, is actively acquiring JYP's shares to achieve absolute control.
To achieve this goal, LONE has repeatedly proposed acquiring JYP's publicly listed second headquarters.
As the founder, Park Jin-young naturally wouldn't agree. The existence of the second headquarters was his means to counter the other side, and JYP headquarters also relied on it for backdoor listing, so it wouldn't hand over its own hard work to the other party.
However, the opponent was powerful and put a lot of pressure on Park Jin-yeong. He felt a great deal of stress and wanted to seek some external help, so he made many attempts.
"He's been so good to you, I think firstly he's quite optimistic about you, believing that your temporary team can bring good returns to the company. Secondly, he might be trying to curry favor with you and get in touch with us to ask for help with his plan."
Chi Jingxu gave a general overview: "It seems like they are very straightforward and have no intention of concealing anything. Besides, even if they had some ulterior motives, it wouldn't matter to us; there's no need to worry."
"Okay, I understand."
After understanding, Ji Jingyuan didn't care much. He wasn't really interested in these things. The reason he specifically asked his second brother was because every time Park Jin-young looked at him, his eyes were too enthusiastic, which made him feel a little uneasy.
"By the way, after meeting a few times, what do you think of Park Jin-young and JYP" Second brother casually asked before hanging up.
"Not bad."
Chi Jingyuan thought for a moment, and then gave his own evaluation.
"
“Got it,”
"
Erge said something exactly the same as what Chi Jingyuan had just said, and then probably seeing that it was time to hang up, he suddenly became unserious: "Come on, big star, I heard you guys are working very hard every day. When can we see you on TV You said you also..."
"Ring, ring, ring..."
"Let's go." Ji Jingyuan hung up the phone directly, then turned to Park Jae-hyun beside him and said.
They were just having dinner at a restaurant near **, because they were going to continue the meeting at JYP later. Thinking back on his previous doubts, Ji-seong called his older brother specifically to ask about it.
The ** staff had already gone ahead, the time was set for the afternoon. Ji Jingyuan didn't go with them because he had a brand to cooperate with in the promotion in the morning.
Recently, because of the comeback preparations, ** has not been giving him many outside schedules. This brand is a company that asked Park Ji-sung to shoot an ad last year, and it was already agreed upon beforehand so it couldn't be pushed back.
After tidying up, the two walked towards JYP's direction.
Because they were too close, Ji Jingyuan didn't let Park Bo-hyun drive. He could just hitch a ride with company employees on the way back later.
After finishing his run, he had already returned to the dormitory, removed his makeup and changed into casual clothes. At this time, he was wearing a light-colored hoodie, just an ordinary high school student.
Ji Jingyuan, wearing a hat and mask, was walking quickly behind Park Jaehyun.
In a few minutes, they arrived at the entrance of JYP Building. Across from the building was a popular fast-food chain, DunkDonuts. Taking advantage of JYP's fame, the restaurant had quite a lot of customers inside. At a glance, one could tell that business was booming.
At a glance, they were about to step into the building when Ji Jingyuan's attention was suddenly drawn by a figure standing in front of them at the entrance of JYP right building.
