“Why isn’t Jeongyeon back yet at this late hour?”
Sitting on the sofa in the dormitory with nothing to do, Lin Nayeon always felt that something was missing. She looked at the time and it was almost midnight. She glanced at the direction of the door and said, "She didn't sleep all night last night, and she's up so late today. Does it take so long to practice the collaboration song?..."
She kept muttering while swinging her legs, and was very worried about her closest sister.
As she was talking, Nayeon glanced at Momo Hirai who was sitting not far away: "By the way, Momo, didn't you also go to SM today to work on the collaboration song with Heechul oppa? How was the collaboration? Did you see Jeongyeon?"
Recently, Twice and SM have not only Yu Jeongyeon but also Momo Hirai who have collaborative projects.
"what?"
Momo, who was staring at her phone and texting, looked at Nayeon in a daze. After she came to her senses, she turned back to her phone with her lower lip pouted outwards: "How can mine be called a collaboration song? It's just a MV. Jeongyeon's is a collaboration song. She can even give suggestions and ideas about her part and choreography..."
Last time, Yu Jeongyeon came back and talked about the process of working on the song with Ji Kyung-won, which immediately made the other members feel a little envious.
It is also SM's subway song, but Yu Jeongyeon's is a real collaboration, while she just filmed a MV without a single word.
After saying that, Momo raised her head and added, "I didn't see Jeongyeon... I was in a meeting in the conference room, and she was in the special practice room prepared by SM, which is not on the first floor."
“Oh…” Lin Nayeon showed her rabbit teeth twice, pretending that she knew.
"Momo." At this time, sitting on the side of the sofa, Minatozaki Sana, who was concentrating on painting her nails with bare feet, stared at her feet seriously and asked curiously, "By the way, how do you feel about working with Heechul oppa this time?"
The company didn't know, but close members like Minatozaki Sana knew privately that it was Kim Heechul who took the initiative to name Momo Hirai to shoot the subway song MV, and they also knew that the senior SJ seemed to have some interest in Momo. Momo Hirai didn't explicitly refuse, and from time to time she would talk to her sisters about some details of their relationship and ask for their opinions... It was obvious that the two of them had some ulterior motives.
"It's fine. Heechul oppa takes good care of me."
Momo Hirai didn't shy away from it. She blinked and nodded quickly. Then she remembered something and frowned and complained, "My manager is too strict with me. Don't you know that apart from work, she has to stand next to me when I talk to her? It's so annoying."
"Of course the agent is very strict about this kind of thing now. I heard that Sangmin Oppa said that the company didn't want to take you at first..."
Minatozaki Sana finished painting her thumb, her eyelashes fluttering as she stared at it carefully, then she put down her hand movements with satisfaction, raised her head, and looked at her little sister with a pouty mouth: "Everyone can see that Heechul Oppa must be interested in you, what do you think?"
"Hmm... it feels like it's still too early, let's wait a little longer..."
Momo thought about it and said it hesitantly, but just after she finished, she tilted her head and looked at Minatozaki Sana: "Don't talk about me, it's the same for you, isn't Kai from XO pursuing you? The last time we were practicing for the collaboration stage, he was so obvious. I remember he asked you out, didn't he?"
"Ah, why are you talking about this..."
Sana Minatozaki, who had been pouting and painting her nails like a puppy, immediately fell silent upon hearing this. She frowned and began to complain in dissatisfaction: "Didn't I tell you last time that I didn't have any feelings for him, and didn't I already politely reject him?"
"Who knows if you're pulling?"
Momo Hirai curled her lips and shrugged, looking unconvinced: "That's XO's center position!"
When she was a trainee, she was a member of Neon Line. Because of her beautiful looks and cheerful personality, Sana Minatozaki was one of the most popular female trainees among all the male trainees at the time. Many people liked her. She had seen Sana-chan wavering in the face of various pursuits but still being at ease.
"Then I'll say it again..."
Minatozaki Sana was obviously a little angry at what Hirai Momo said. She pursed her lips and spoke with a serious expression and tone, but she was interrupted by Lim Nayeon before she finished speaking:
"Hey, it's not a bad thing to be chased by someone."
Lin Nayeon interrupted Minatozaki Sana who was about to emphasize seriously, while waving her hand with her rabbit teeth showing.
The timing of her speaking was just right, causing Minatozaki Sana's momentum to immediately deflate. She wrinkled her nose and continued to paint her nails with her head down.
But I didn't expect Lin Nayeon to smack her lips, touch her chin and comment:
"I haven't met Kai Xi from XO much, but I feel that he is not an easy-going oppa. I heard from the unnies I know in the circle that he doesn't seem to be a quiet person. And in terms of appearance...his facial features are a little too hard. I think he is much worse than those EXO members in terms of appearance. However, he dances really handsomely and has a lot of feeling...but he can't dance 24 hours a day."
"As for Heechul oppa, he was really handsome when he was young, and now... he's okay too! But his reputation in the circle is really a bit too... It's good to be friends with him, but if we want to date... And isn't he a little too old? He's already 35 years old this year..."
"Unnie!"
"ah!"
Minatozaki Sana and Hirai Momo next to them shouted out together, and their dissatisfied glances shot towards Lim Nayeon like sharp arrows without mercy.
I told you it has nothing to do with me!
You really commented?
Feeling that she seemed to have incurred the wrath of the crowd, even as the eldest sister, Lin Nayeon still pouted awkwardly, turned her head and said nothing... The moment she turned her back to the two of them, she couldn't help but rolled her eyes very smartly.
"boom……"
Just at this moment, the door of the dormitory was opened, and the dusty Yu Jeongyeon finally came back.
“Jeongyeon, you’re back!”
Seeing Yu Jeongyeon squatting at the door changing her shoes, Lim Nayeon's eyes lit up and she immediately greeted her.
"Hmm~"
Yu Jeongyeon responded weakly, changed into slippers, staggered in, and slumped down on the sofa.
"Are you so tired... Why did you come back so late? Do you need to practice for that long?" Seeing this, Lin Nayeon ran barefoot behind the sofa, and rubbed Yu Jeongyeon's shoulders with a flattering and caring look.
"It's a collaboration song, so it's okay to practice a little more. Seulgi and the others didn't complain of being tired... Kyungwon hasn't left yet, he's working overtime in the practice room." Yu Jeongyeon closed her eyes and comfortably enjoyed the massage from her sisters. "Besides, we're going to shoot the MV tomorrow, so we rehearsed the MV process tonight."
"He hasn't left yet?" Lin Nayeon asked curiously while pressing the button.
"Jingyuan Oppa didn't have time to practice some time ago, so he will probably have to work overtime until late today."
"So... I remember you were already very skilled before?"
"Practicing together is different from practicing alone... In the afternoon, I changed the choreography and movement of several parts, and I added two more parts."
"Oh……"
A little envious!
"If you're shooting the MV tomorrow, won't you have to get up early again?"
"No need, Jingyuan Oppa specially postponed the time, so we can just arrive at noon... Who is taking a shower now?"
"Mina just went in, I guess she'll be there soon."
"By the way..."
At this time, Momo Hirai interrupted. She stared at her phone, and it was unclear whether she had seen any news or comments: "Why are there so many people online saying that Jingyuan Oppa slacked off during DMCEXO's performance a few days ago? It's not because of Sana..."
She glanced at Minatozaki Sana and asked curiously, "Can't SM just clarify it? This is considered a heroic act. As long as it is said, the public opinion will definitely turn around. Look at how badly some people say it online..."
Hearing this topic, Minatozaki Sana, who was painting her little finger, suddenly paused and slowed down her movements.
"This..."
Hearing this, Yu Jeongyeon opened her eyes and arched her head a little: "We just happened to talk about this matter during the break today, and I even asked him about it specifically."
"what did he say?"
"Jingyuan said SM asked him whether he wanted to clarify or suppress the news, and he said no."
"Why?"
"Kyung Won-oppa said that if the person he saved was a male artist, it wouldn't matter, but if it was Sana, if the matter was made public, he might be praised, but it would definitely have a bad impact on Sana... He said he didn't want those compliments, so he didn't bother to say anything."
Yu Jeongyeon thought about the afternoon conversation and simply repeated it.
The people nearby were silent for a moment after hearing this. They certainly understood what Chi Jingyuan meant by "not very good".
Twice has a completely cute girlfriend personality. If fans were to know that such a heroic rescue happened, Twice's fans might be glad that someone helped their idol at first, but after a while, the fans would soon have a lot of bad associations, become suspicious, be suspicious, and make all kinds of unfounded accusations, which would do a lot of damage to Minatozaki Sana's image.
And EXO fans will definitely attack Minatozaki Sana because their oppa is injured. I don’t care who you are. If you hurt our oppa, we will cyberbully you and make you pay!
Nayeon and Momo Hirai looked at each other, while Sana Minatozaki lowered her head and never looked up. It was unknown whether she was listening or not. It was just that her pupils seemed a little absent-minded at this moment, and the nail brush in her hand stopped just above her toes, hanging in the air motionlessly. A drop of transparent liquid slowly condensed on the tip of the brush, as if it was about to drip down at any time.
Momo Hirai blinked, pointed at her phone and clicked her tongue: "Isn't he afraid of being scolded by those people online? I think some of these fans are saying really nasty things."
"Jingyuan Oppa doesn't care about this..."
Speaking of this, Yu Jeongyeon laughed: "At that time, he was very happy and read us a few negative comments. I even saw that he liked some of the comments that criticized him."
"I'll go see if Mina has finished washing..." After saying that, Yu Jeongyeon shook her head, stood up and walked towards the bathroom.
Lin Nayeon looked at her back, and thinking of what she just said, she snorted in dissatisfaction: "Tsk, why are you trying to be cool?
At this time, Momo noticed Sana Minatozaki, her eyes widened, and electronic music came: "Sana, your nail polish is almost dripping onto your feet, what are you doing?"
"Ah~" Minatozaki Sana screamed, quickly moved the nail brush away, wiped it with a tissue, then grinned and laughed foolishly: "Hehe, I fell asleep a little."
"I think you didn't eat dinner again and you're hungry..." Momo Hirai glanced at her and curled her lips knowingly.
At this time, Yu Jeongyeon came back leisurely and leaned on the sofa. Lin Nayeon glanced at her as she started to look at her phone: "Mina takes a long time to take a shower."
As she spoke, she looked at a piece of news on her phone and suddenly sighed, "Oh, Yilin is so unlucky. I was just chatting with her on the phone the day before yesterday."
Yu Jeongyeon knew what she was talking about as soon as she heard it... The news about Red Velvet's traffic accident today has become a hot search, and Lim Nayeon and Kim Yerin have always had a good personal relationship since they met, so it is natural to worry about her friend now
"Is she seriously injured?" Yu Jeongyeon paused for a few seconds and asked with concern.
"I don't know either. She didn't answer the phone, but just sent a text message back without saying anything in detail." Lin Nayeon shook her head and then looked over: "Haven't you been practicing the whole time? Do you know about this?"
"Yes, I knew it first. I was right next to her when Seulgi received a call from her agent." When Yu Jeongyeon mentioned what she had experienced in the afternoon, she raised her chin.
"Oh... I heard you guys seem to be very relaxed, chatting and talking on the phone..." Lin Nayeon nodded first, then frowned, thinking of what Hirai Momo just said, and asked curiously: "Is the manager who went with you strict? Doesn't he take care of you?"
"Not strictly. During breaks, I sat with Jingyuan Oppa and the others and chatted and laughed. He even gave us snacks. The manager Oppa didn't care at all. He even went out to smoke once..."
As if she didn't understand the question, Yu Jeongyeon blinked strangely and didn't notice the subtle or speechless expressions on the faces of Lim Nayeon, Minatozaki Sana, and especially Hirai Momo.
Then she suddenly remembered something important, her expression changed, she lowered her voice, and looked at Lin Nayeon with a wink:
"And I also know a piece of news that will definitely surprise you."
"What?" Not only Lin Nayeon looked curious, but the two people next to her also looked over.
Yu Jeongyeon was a little excited, lowering her voice to gossip with a few people: "Jingyuan oppa was smiling and drinking water at first, but when he heard the news that Red Velvet's Irene senior was in a traffic accident, his expression immediately changed, and he became anxious all of a sudden. That expression scared me a little... Later, he was relieved when he heard that Irene senior was fine, but he was probably still a little worried, so he went out to make a phone call."
"I was curious at the time, so I asked, guess what Seulgi and Sehun said?"
Without waiting for Nayeon and the others to ask back, Jeongyeon excitedly answered her own question: "The CP of Music Bank is real! Jingyuan Oppa and Irene senior are dating. I heard that this is not a secret. Many people in SM know about it."
"qingjia?"
"Are they really dating?"
"Jingyuan Oppa and Irene Senior?"
This gossip was so shocking that it instantly made the three people in front of him explode.
"..."
At this moment, a figure not far behind Yu Dingyan suddenly stiffened.
Ming Jingnan, who was walking out of the bathroom with a limp step and drying his hair with his head lowered, suddenly stopped moving and his forward steps stopped there. He stood there motionless as if frozen, with only his little head constantly lowered.
"…But I heard from Sehun oppa that this happened a long time ago and they broke up a long time ago."
Yu Jeongyeon then changed the subject and sighed as if she was a little regretful: "Seulgi and Sehun seem to be very close friends of the same age and feel sorry about this. Sigh... But after the breakup, the two seem to still have a good relationship. Jingyuan still cares about Irene senior."
"Oh my god, Yinyin CP is actually real!"
Lin Nayeon opened her eyes wide and sighed in an inexplicable tone: "I also supported these two people at that time... I said that I felt that they were very natural when they hosted "Music Bank". After all this time, they are really dating?"
"Red Velvet had only been debuted for a short time at that time... And I remember seeing someone say on the Internet that Yuan's status did not require him to be a regular MC of Music Bank, and many fans were quite confused... Could it be that the two of them were dating at the time, and he went just for this?"
After hearing this bold analysis, Minatozaki Sana was about to say something, but when she looked up, she saw Mingjing Minami walking over with her hair dried. Her expression changed: "Mina, are you done washing?"
But she knew who Chi Jingyuan was dating now... No girl would be in a good mood hearing about the glorious deeds of her boyfriend and ex-girlfriend.
Fortunately, Jeongyeon unni said that they had broken up for a long time. If she hadn’t said this, I would have exploded... Since they broke up, it’s much better. Who can control what happened in the past?
"Um……"
Mingjing Nan looked normal. She tilted her head and gently wiped her hair. Her movements were gentle and soft. She smiled and nodded slightly. Then she looked at Yu Jeongyeon and said, "Ouni, go wash it. Be careful, the floor is a bit slippery."
After saying that, she didn't stop, just nodded at a few people, and walked towards the room in her slippers.
"Got it... Then I'm going to take a shower first. I'm so sleepy."
Yu Jeongyeon stood up immediately upon hearing this and began to pack her toiletries. Before leaving, she suddenly turned around, squinted her eyes and smiled at Lin Nayeon and said:
"By the way, Nayeon, after we take a bath, I'll show you something nice."
"what?"
"I'll tell you later!"
"Hum~"
.........
"I told you guys, you really suit this style..."
Ji Jingyuan's eyes lit up instantly when he saw Kang Seulgi and Yoo Jeongyeon finishing their looks and changing into slim black suits. He immediately praised them as if he was very far-sighted.
In addition to the built-in indoor sets, the MV of "Really Really" also requires a lot of outdoor scenes and lighting. At this time, they are shooting at an outdoor location... in a makeup car in an open-air square of a private university.
The two girls who had finished their styling were surprised when they looked at their new images in the mirror. They kept fiddling with their collars and hair ends, and were obviously very satisfied with their current appearance.
Whether it is Red Velvet or TWICE, due to the time of debut and the style of the group, most of them are currently taking a more pure and cute route. This kind of hip-hop-oriented song style with a restrained and handsome suit style is rarely tried in the group.
"You really have good taste..." Wu Sehun also came over to take a look and nodded in praise for the first time.
Because his suit looks good at this time... It can be said that the four people who collaborated this time are very suitable for this style and similar looks. Chi Jingyuan really has good taste.
“Jeongyeon.”
Chi Jingyuan came to Yu Jeongyeon, glanced at her with some surprise, and said in amazement: "I watched the personal trailer video of "TT" that you released a few days ago. I feel that your appearance in it is not as eye-catching as it is now."
He really felt that Yu Jeongyeon was not suitable for the style of acting cute. With this style, when she stood next to people like Lim Nayeon and Minatozaki Sana, she was completely using her own weaknesses to attack others' strengths. If she was a little more handsome and cool, she would be more attractive.
In the MV of "really really", the four people will use two different styles of clothes. One is the current suit style, and the other is a more casual and hip-hop street style. She has tried both types of clothes and they both suit her very well...and the same goes for the other people.
"Oppa, our styles are different and cannot be compared."
Yu Jeongyeon looked at herself in the mirror with bright eyes. Although she liked her current look very much, as a member of Twice, she still smiled bitterly and refuted with her stance.
“Jeongyeon is indeed very handsome now.”
Jiang Seulgi also came over and praised her with a smile: "It feels like she doesn't even need to release a song. This look alone can attract a lot of fans."
“Ouni is pretty too.” Yu Jeongyeon reciprocated the greeting, and the two of them immediately stuck together and complimented each other.
After chatting for a few minutes and fixing my makeup, the MV director came over and explained the key points of today's MV shooting.
The MV director for the four-person version was invited by SM. His name is Reik, who has worked with the company before and is a very capable and thoughtful MV director in the industry in Amei.
As for the advertising version of the MV, it is different. The director was invited by the Mercedes brand and the advertising company. Unlike the former which showcases songs and dances, the latter focuses more on brand promotion.
“…In general, the concept of this MV will be more visual and graphic, with more special angles, shadow lighting, black and white images, and then combined with dance.”
“The dance and atmosphere of this song are the key points. My idea is to achieve such an effect: make this MV more like a short musical than a story or MV.”
The director carefully expounded his ideas and concepts.
Chi Jingyuan provided a lot of inspiration for the MV of the subway song. The two of them even discussed it specifically. The style, concept and atmosphere of the theme were all thought of by Chi Jingyuan, but Reik also had some ideas. He was good at lenses and color grading, and proposed using a lot of black and white tones and shadow lighting to render the song and the lazy feeling of everyone.
Although he hasn’t seen the finished product yet, Chi Jingyuan feels that the final effect will be quite impressive.
The official shooting started soon. Although they had rehearsed the specific process yesterday, they encountered problems soon after starting.
"CUT!"
At the beginning, they needed to shoot close-up shots of four people facing the light, but Yu Jeongyeon didn't seem to be very used to this feeling and was stopped many times at the beginning.
"CUT! Eyes, watch your eyes!"
"CUT! Relax a little..."
Obviously, Yu Jeongyeon was very nervous as it was her first time to officially collaborate with several seniors and to shoot a MV with other artists. After seeing her expression becoming more and more stiff because of her mistakes, Ji Jingyuan took the initiative to signal a pause and walked around her twice.
"I'm sorry...Oppa." The girl felt very guilty and apologized in a low voice.
"It's a small matter. There's no need to do this."
Chi Jingyuan waved his hand and looked completely unconcerned. He helped her find the problem with experience: "Maybe it's your first time trying this style. Jeongyeon's emotions and body are a little too tense."
"It needs to be a little more relaxed. The expression, dance and atmosphere of this song should all have a sense of relaxation, a hip-hop feel."
"How should I put it..." Chi Jingyuan raised his eyes and thought for a while, gesticulating and trying to find words to describe it: "It's a bit like when you are flirting with a girl, pushing and pulling, and flirting with her until her face turns red. That feeling of confidence and ease... I don't know if this is the right way to put it..."
Yu Jeongyeon was speechless when she heard Chi Jingyuan's abstract description, but for some reason, when she thought about what this oppa said, the image of a rabbit-toothed girl suddenly emerged in her mind.
"Uh..." She thought about it, then hesitated and tried to speak: "Oppa, let me get a feel for it."
"Don't worry, there's plenty of time today..."
"Ready, start shooting!"
"CUT..."
"Good, continue!"
"Transitions……"
"continue……"
“OK, done!”
