Chapter 46: Be My Producer

aching me proactively, acting very familiar and trying to get closer.Some artists will also on the show say things about having a close relationship with Ji-won, to attract attention. From time to tim...,Peninsula asteroid

Okay, see you then.

Chi Jingyuan hung up the phone and tossed it onto the seat beside him.

Taeyeon called, and as soon as the call connected, she excitedly told Ji-won to go out for drinks. She didn't even wait for his response before giving him a location and urging him to come quickly, not to waste time.

Girls' Generation began their third tour in Japan at the end of April. Besides Hwang Miyoung, who went back to see her boyfriend during their break, the other members have not seen each other for a month since Seohyun.

This evening, it just so happened that he didn't have anything else to do. It wasn't too late either, so Chi Jingyuan readily agreed.

It just so happens that this sister knows that EXO doesn't have anything going on today. She wouldn't be able to get them away during concert season a few days ago.

"Bro, go to Samcheongdong…" Ji Jingyuan reported an address that Kim Taeyeon had just given him. As soon as he finished speaking, the phone next to him rang again.

It turned out to be a call from Suzy Bae.

"Young not block young..." Just as Chi Jingyuan sat up, he leaned back and breathed out to answer the phone.

It's also an invitation to meet him in person.

Since the last time they woke up together, Bae Suzy had disappeared for a few days. It could have been to calm down or perhaps she was weighing her options. However, after a few days, she took the initiative to call back.

The tone and manner of interaction are still the same as before, but Chi Jingyuan feels that her attitude has changed slightly.

Before, the two of them were pretty much a handsome guy and a beautiful girl who fell for each other at first sight. There was some spark between them, and their interactions of pulling and probing were quite interesting. Whether they ended up together or not didn't matter; it was all very carefree.

But this time, Bae Suzy seemed to have become more serious. Even if he didn't make plans with her, she would call him every now and then just to chat for a bit.

A few days ago, Chi Jingyuan was busy with her comeback and concert. She knew she was very busy and considerate enough not to bother, today she probably saw the performance end and called directly.

It's a pity that it was a bit late.

"Well, gotta go."

Pei Suzy knew he had an appointment after that and didn't hesitate or get upset at all. She smiled and smoothly shifted the conversation to something else, chatting casually for a while, then said goodbye, saying she would call him next time they had free time, and then hung up.

Placing his black-screened phone down, Ji Jingyuan looked up at the ceiling of the carriage and chuckled suddenly.

That's quite interesting...

"Isn't it about drinking"

The address that Kim Taeyeon gave was a small bar on the back of the road, but it was decorated with a very good atmosphere. There weren't many guests. When Ji Chang-wook arrived, he immediately found Taeyeon sitting in the corner. He walked over and saw her holding a large cup of coffee and playing with her phone. He twitched the corner of his mouth and sat opposite her, asking helplessly.

She had black hair today, with a straight fringe and a small ponytail at the back of her head, somewhat similar to [character's name]'s style in [movie/show]. But without much makeup on, she looked much younger. She was wearing a white hoodie that seemed a size too big for her, and her overall outfit was quite casual.

"Here we go..."

Seeing Ji Chang-wook sitting down, Kim Tae-yeon's eyes lit up. She put down her phone and waved at him with a smile. Then she picked up the wine that had already been ordered on the table, poured a glass and handed it to him. She met Ji Chang-wook's gaze, blinked her eyes, and said matter-of-factly: "Here... I'm asking you for a drink. I didn't say I wanted one too. You know your drinking capacity better than anyone..."

Saying that, Kim Taeyeon playfully tousled her hair and sent a slightly greasy wink towards Seong-gyun: “But if you have other thoughts, Noona wouldn’t mind either.”

As expected, they're getting older. The way these older sisters from Girls' Generation flirt is just… not shy at all. Sunny was like this even when we first met, and after becoming closer, Taeyeon is the same way too.

"Miane, it seems Nuna has already finished her drink."

Chi Jingyuan took the glass and sipped, placing it back down beside him with an expression as if he had misunderstood something.

“Oh, what do you mean” Kim Taeyeon exclaimed, her voice sharp as she glared at him fiercely. But within two seconds, she broke character and burst into laughter.

"Aren't you guys having a concert in Japan How did you suddenly come back today." Ki-won looked around, "And it's just Taeyeon unnie here I thought there would be some other seniors too, where's Sunny unnie"

"Do you need several people to chat I'm good with just myself..."

Kim Tae-yeon glanced at him and took a sip of coffee, explaining:

"We just finished our performance in Kobe yesterday on the 25th, and the next one starts on June 5th. There's less than a week of vacation in between. Pani, yuri and I flew back directly... Sunny said she was too lazy to fly back and forth so she stayed in Japan."

"Oh, right, Yuri is here because she's attending the Baeksang Arts Awards tomorrow. She released a movie called 'HG' this year, didn't she She said she might win something like a popularity award. Jingyuan, you'll definitely be there tomorrow too, right 'The Heirs' was so popular last year." At this point, Kim Taeyeon looked at him curiously as if remembering something and asked.

"Well, the organizer has invited me to attend tomorrow, and there should be awards as well."

Chi Jingyuan nodded and then pursed his lips: “As far as I know, it should be the Best Popular Actor in Television Drama.”

The Baeksang Arts Awards is the most prestigious and recognized awards ceremony in the television drama industry. Tomorrow, it will hold its 50th anniversary ceremony, and Ji Chang Wook received an invitation a few days ago. In addition, his EXO-K members will also have a stage performance.

He isn't very familiar with this year's film category, but the competition in Baeksang's TV drama department is extremely fierce this year. Last year's SBS dramas exploded from mid-year to the end of the year, and even into early 2014. Each drama was highly competitive and, in a normal year, could have vied for the grand prize.

They are very popular, no doubt, but there are others who are even more popular. Ji-seong did some digging the other day, and it turns out this heartthrob's awards are hard to come by.

"What about the grand prize Do you think there's any chance you could win" Kim Taeyeon's eyes widened, a touch of disbelief in them.

"It's highly unlikely. Eighty percent chance the Grand Prize will go to senior actress Jeon Ji-hyun." Ji Kyeong-won smiled and took a sip of his drink.

"It's alright if we don't win the grand prize."

Kim Tae-yeon nodded as if she understood, and said to him in a tone that was both comforting and praising: "The Best Popularity Award from Baekhyeon is also a very good award, and Jingyuan, you are already very good. Two consecutive dramas have been so popular, you must be the most successful actor among idols now, right"

Kim Taeyeon is right, they've already done incredibly well. This year's competition was so fierce, being able to win an award with such high prestige, ranking among the top best popularity awards, is truly remarkable.

"How is that possible…" However, Ji Jingyuan quickly shook his head and humbly said, "There's still Yuri noona..."

"Hahaha..."

Ji-seong didn't finish his sentence before Jin Tae-yeon burst into laughter. She threw back her head and laughed heartily for a few moments, then quickly ducked her head and covered her mouth to prevent her expression from being too unrestrained. After laughing for a while, she glared at him fiercely and said in an annoyed tone, “You only know how to tease Yuri. Even if she doesn't say anything, I'm sure she'll be angry inside.”

"Here it's just the two of us, how could Yoona sunbae hear this"

"Then perhaps I'll go back and report you" Kim Taeyeon crossed her arms and looked at Ji Kyeongwon with a smug grin.

…"

Ji Jingyuan smiled and quickly got up to pour a glass of wine, respectfully offering it to Kim Taeyeon. Taeyeon couldn't help but laugh again at this flattering gesture, then picked up the cup with an air of 'you're very considerate' and took a sip.

Kim Taeyeon and Ji Kyungwon seem to get along very well. Even though they hadn't seen each other in over a month, they didn't seem awkward at all. They laughed and joked, saying whatever came to mind. The atmosphere of their conversation was excellent, with Taeyeon's hearty laughter occasionally breaking out.

"Your Seoul concert just finished, right How did it feel"

After a while, and having only drunk two sips of wine, Taeyeon's face began to flush slightly. Her spirits were high as she continued,

“Oh, it feels really good, especially the first performance. It's probably one of the most memorable things since my debut.”

Chi Jingyuan pursed his lips, looked up and thought for a moment, then sighed with some reminiscence.

Even after several days had passed, the scene and image from that day still frequently appeared in his mind. The impression was truly very deep.

Although the next two days were the same performances, they didn't feel as moving as the first day of the concert.

"Yeah, the first concert was definitely memorable. I remember our first concert was in 2009... it feels like just yesterday!"

Jin Tae Yeon also looked out the window with reminiscence, as if she had been reminded of the present, and couldn't help but sigh: "The children have all grown up. They are already at the age of renewal."

"By the way, Taeyeon unnie, how's the contract renewal progress going Will all of少女時代 renew their contracts" After thinking for a moment, Ji Kyeong-won decided to ask.

He has always been paying attention and quite curious.

“As for the progress, I only know my own. I don't know the specific progress of others, and we rarely talk about it... After all, the members all have their own careers. The second contract definitely involves a lot of things to consider... Besides Girls' Generation as a group, the main thing is to reach an agreement with the company on the planning for individual development. It's not that simple...”

She didn't think it was too direct of a question from Ji-seong, Kim Taeyeon raised her glass and took another sip. As soon as she sipped it, she couldn't help but burp, shook her head, pinched the glass with her finger, and looked down seriously, her smile somewhat complex: "There are acting projects, solo projects, and brand launches... But everyone probably still leans towards renewing their contracts, after all, it is Girls' Generation."

Pool-Geon lightly nodded, he could vaguely understand some of Taeyeon's feelings.

"By the way, do you know what my requirements are for renewing my contract with the company" Kim Taeyeon suddenly looked up at him.

"..."

Chi Jingyuan squinted his eyes and shook his head.

Besides the team's return, my personal requirement is to go solo.

A car just drove by, its headlights momentarily sweeping across Taeyeon's face. She turned her head to look out the window, a mix of memories and anticipation in her eyes: "In my first two years after debuting, when I wasn't very popular yet, the company already had a solo project for me. But because of various things getting in the way, it never actually came to fruition until today."

"This time when I renewed the contract, I put this request in, and I was very firm about it." As she said this, she also raised her hand and clenched her fist, wanting to prove her inner determination.

"What do you think about the company I think it's fine," Ki-seong said, looking at her.

Taeyeon has been one of the most popular members of Girls' Generation since her debut, and her singing abilities have been widely recognized. When it comes to solo work, few members in Girls' Generation would be more suitable than her.

"The company already had plans in this area, so there shouldn't be any problems. If the renewal is successful, we could potentially start the project as early as next year."

Speaking of this, Kim Taeyeon turned her head to look over, a pair of eyes fixed on Ji Kyeong-won, smiling happily: "If my solo project starts, would you want to be the producer for me"

"Me"

Pool Kyung and Taeyeon's eyes met, with a hint of surprise. Pool Kyung pointed at himself with a questioning look and said, "Although I've participated in the production of quite a few of our XO albums, I've never actually been the main producer before. Is NuNa trusting me this much"

"In, just trust me!"

Kim Tae-yeon looked at him seriously and nodded. “I’ve heard all of your XO songs, and I really like your original compositions, especially ‘so’. That song’s sound source is really awesome… And I also heard that you have a lot of weight and contribution in the production of your album, many great ideas came from you.”

“Originally, this time we planned for our TTS to return in the second half of the year. During the meeting before, I suggested to the company that you participate in the production, but after some consideration, the company rejected it, saying something like EXO is on their first tour, you are very busy and don't have time, and your experience is not enough and so on.”

With a dismissive snort, Kim Taeyeon clearly wasn't pleased with the company's response. However, she quickly regained her composure and continued, "But if it were my own solo album, I'd still have quite a bit of creative control. If you expressed your intentions to the company as well, Jingyuan, I think it should be fine."

"Well, you really believe me"

Chi Jingyuan shrugged, making an album was also a pretty good try for him. After participating in and accumulating experience from two albums, he already had some experience.

Besides, it's heartwarming to see Kim Taeyeon so optimistic about him.

"If nothing else came up, I wouldn't have a problem either." Ji Jingyuan nodded and didn't say much. Anyway, it was still early, and the situation might be unclear at that time.

"Then it's settled!" Kim Taeyeon waved her hand, looking as if she had just finalized a contract. She took two sips of wine with a satisfied expression, her demeanor as if she was starting her solo career tomorrow.

Seeing her like this, Ji Jingyuan sighed:

"Well, maybe you should renew your contract first and then we can talk…"

"

Maybe this time next year, you won't be in s anymore.

…………

Ignoring Kim Taeyeon's shouts about driving her Mercedes back to his dorm, Ji Kyeong-won called Park Jae-hyun to drive Kim Taeyeon back. Then the car headed towards the EXO dorm.

"Jingyuan, you and Taeyeon xi have a really good relationship." Park Jaehyun casually chatted while driving with a smile.

"Ah... It's really quite good, we seem to get along well."

Chi Jingyuan, sitting in the back row, yawned slightly and nodded in response.

Looking out the window, Ji Jingyuan felt his stomach rumble. He realized they were almost at their destination and hadn't eaten much all night.

After some thought, Chi Jingyuan leaned forward and said, "Brother, let's find a place near the dormitory to buy something to eat."

"What do you want to eat"

"Hmm... how about that grilled sausage place next door It tastes pretty good."

Okay.

After a while, Park Ji-hyun drove the car to a small alley near the EXO dormitory and parked. After getting out of the car, she walked towards a barbecue restaurant across the street that was still open for business.

The white streetlights were a little dim, there weren't many people around at this hour, and most of the storefronts were already closed. Only two or three shops were still open along the entire street.

Chi Jingyuan sat in the car listlessly scrolling through his phone. There hadn't been any particularly exciting news lately.

After a while, two figures walked past their car slowly, sticking together. Chi Jingyuan glanced at them out of the corner of his eye and suddenly froze. He quickly shifted his butt to the side of the car window and looked over.

It's clearly a couple, a man and a woman. Even though the guy is wearing a baseball cap, you can tell it's Bian Baekhyun just by looking at him. After living together in the dorm for over two years, they are simply too familiar with each other.

But the woman was the reason for his surprise. Just now, when Chi Jingyuan casually glanced over, that profile flashed by and he thought it was Kim Tae-yeon. She had just been sent back home, how could she suddenly appear here and end up with Bo Hyun

But after looking seriously for a while, he discovered that it wasn't one person, but member Kim Jisook from the female idol group rabow.

This combination pool source is quite familiar to me. When I just debuted in 2012, Jin-gyeong from Rabow reached out to him and actively pursued a relationship for a while. However, because of the age difference, Ji-seong responded more coolly. After several attempts, the other party understood his meaning and gave up after some time.

At this moment, Bo-hyun and Kim Ji-sook were obviously dating. They had just finished their date and were taking a leisurely stroll, probably about to say goodbye and part ways soon.

They couldn't have split up just outside the apartment complex. Exo's dorm building is constantly guarded by fans, even late at night. Byun Baekhyun definitely knows this very well.

Ji Jingyuan remembered that the last time he talked to Wu Shixun, he had mentioned dating a member once, but at the time he hadn't paid much attention... Now that he happened to meet her, he found that the girl looked quite a lot like Taeyeon. No wonder he just mistook her.

From the mirror, he watched the two backs gradually disappear, and he blinked, finding it rather interesting.

Bo-hyun, this is because he tried hard to chase after Taeyeon but failed...

Shaking his head, Chi Jingyuan returned to the middle of the back seat and picked up his phone again.
