Chapter 1065 Call
Chi Jingyuan just finished listening to the song called "All Night" and couldn't help but take off his headphones and looked at Jin Taeyeon in surprise: "What the hell is this?"

His surprise was beyond words, and his expression looked as if he had heard it wrongly.

"Are you sure it's this song?" Chi Jingyuan blinked and asked again to confirm.

When Chi Jingyuan heard Kim Taeyeon say that the title song for Girls' Generation's 10th anniversary album had been selected, he instantly became interested. With great anticipation, he immediately opened the music library to search.

It was just that the song he just heard really disappointed him...

It’s not that this song called "All Night" is so terrible, and SM would not come up with a song that is completely substandard. It’s just that it is a bit too mediocre. Whether it is the structure, style, arrangement, or lyrics, basically all the elements do not have any highlights after listening to them. It is just a very ordinary Kpop song. It is up to standard, but nothing special.

Chi Jingyuan had raised his expectations too high, but ended up hearing such an ordinary song, which made him a little disappointed.

“Yes, that’s the one.”

Kim Taeyeon saw Chi Jingyuan and said, "You think it's just average too?..."

"More than just normal, wait...let me listen to another one."

Chi Jingyuan nodded, but did not comment too much. Instead, he quickly found another song and started listening to it.

Holiday

It’s just that...the other song “Holiday” is a little better, but not much better.

Taking off his headphones and looking at Kim Taeyeon, who had a calm expression and didn't speak, Chi Jingyuan suddenly fell silent.

Although Girls' Generation has seriously declined and is about to end, most of their fans have already thrown themselves into the arms of new girl groups with young and pretty girls, but they are still a TOP girl group of the previous generation and still occupy a very special position in the hearts of the people of the Peninsula. Even if you are not their fans, you must know the name of Girls' Generation. Their popularity is gone, but their style and level are still there.

No matter what, if they are going to make a comeback, they have to maintain their integrity. The album configuration, costumes, and MV investment must all be above standard. For example, the 15 comeback was very expensive, as you can tell from every aspect.

Moreover, this is not an ordinary comeback album, but a commemorative album for the tenth anniversary of Girls' Generation's debut in 07. In addition, it has been confirmed that the three members will not renew their contracts, so this can also be regarded as Girls' Generation's disbandment album. If there are no accidents in the future, this should be the last album of the eight-member Girls' Generation.

Therefore, this is an album of great significance to both the idols of Girls' Generation and the fans who still like them. It is an extremely weighty album that carries the ups and downs of ten years, the companionship of each other, and finally comes to a perfect end.

I believe that fans of Girls' Generation sisters like Kim Taeyeon and Yoona all think this way, and even friends like Ji Kyung-won and bystanders also expect this.

It’s just… after these two hit songs were released, all the meaning, emphasis, and tenth anniversary stuff instantly became wishful thinking. Good meanings need to be supported by excellent songs and plans, and these two ordinary and even mediocre dance songs cannot bear this responsibility.

After listening to these two songs, Ji Jingyuan knew that SM was definitely not serious about Girls' Generation's comeback. If these two songs were the main songs, it would not only disappoint the fans, but it would also probably just be a self-congratulation among the fans at most.

But it's no wonder. Chi Jingyuan, who knows the inside story, knows very well that the three members of Girls' Generation will not renew their contracts. Moreover, as a girl group whose life cycle should come to an end, according to the company's mentality, it is indeed impossible to invest too many resources in a group that is destined to disband. They also have no need to pay for a group that can't make money and the feelings of their fans.

It’s just… Although Ji Jingyuan can’t be considered a fan of Girls’ Generation, Girls’ Generation was indeed the name he heard most often when he first came into contact with Kpop before joining SM. In addition, he has a good relationship with several sisters in Girls’ Generation. After hearing these two songs and understanding the inside story, he couldn’t help feeling a little regretful and sad.

After listening to it, Chi Jingyuan pondered for a while, looked at Jin Taeyeon and frowned and asked: "The company gave these two songs to you as the main songs?"

“Don’t make that expression. The lyrics for Holiday were written by the youngest member, but… it’s a little ordinary…”

Kim Taeyeon chuckled a few times, then her face slowly darkened. She sighed and said, "We invested a lot of resources in the 15 comeback but it wasn't satisfactory. Last year, there was the incident with Tiffany and a few others, and Sooyoung and the others didn't renew their contracts, so the company didn't actually plan to release this album. We fought for the th anniversary album ourselves."

"But even though the company agreed to produce a specialist, their attitude is really..."

“You can’t be so perfunctory, right?” Chi Jingyuan tilted his head, looking at the two songs on the screen, his tone somewhat indignant.

"Alas, Girls' Generation is now..." At this point, Kim Taeyeon paused, as if it was difficult to say the words in her mouth, but after a few seconds of silence, she could only sigh helplessly: "...Indeed, it's no use."

Girls' Generation once redefined the TOP girl group and was extremely popular both in the Peninsula music scene and within SM. During their peak period, they received strong support every time they returned to SM, and they collaborated with well-known composers and producers, and they never lacked resources.

But now it has come to this point, even the disbandment album is so perfunctory. Kim Taeyeon, who debuted and has been through the glory of Girls' Generation, feels it the most deeply...

"..." Chi Jingyuan also felt the same way for some reason. After a few seconds of silence, he asked, "What do you mean now? Is it confirmed?"

"Not yet. You can tell that the songs are average, and we can tell that too. So we haven't agreed to use these two songs as the main songs yet. We are working with the company to negotiate..."

Kim Taeyeon shook her head and talked about the latest situation.

She is actually a little conflicted in her heart, because now it is just Girls' Generation that is not doing well, but Kim Taeyeon personally is doing very well. SM just doesn't give Girls' Generation resources, but gives her enough resources.

And although other members have expressed their desire to work hard on this tenth anniversary album, they don't actually have the courage to go all out. Besides, Hwang Mi-young and Choi Soo-young are leaving the company, and to be honest, they don't have much say now. In fact, it's up to her, Lim Yoona, and Lee Sunkyu to talk and fight for it with the company.

Fortunately, the attitudes of these members who have considerable status and voice in the company are very clear. Although the relationships between them are rather subtle, whether out of interests or feelings, everyone at least sincerely wants to make this last album a good one.

"...but the company's intention is actually very clear. They are unwilling to provide too many resources...The investment in the album is okay, but they really won't put too much effort into the songs."

Kim Taeyeon continued, "So we plan to talk about it again, and then try to see if we can find some song resources ourselves. Anyway, the album will be released in August, which is still four or five months away. If it doesn't work by then, we can talk about it..."

"so……"

Chi Jingyuan nodded slightly as he listened, but after hearing this, he also understood the purpose of Kim Taeyeon talking about this matter.

The next second, Jin Taiyan looked over and said, "Jingyuan, do you still remember what I asked you to do? Is there any progress?"

As expected, the sister asked about this matter.

However, Chi Jingyuan paused for a moment after hearing this. His face turned bitter and he said hesitantly, "Uh..."

Kim Taeyeon had told him about this a long time ago, and asked him to look through the company's music library to see if there were any songs suitable for Girls' Generation. If he had any inspiration, he could try to create a song to see if he could write one for Girls' Generation's tenth anniversary album.

This sister had said it more than once, they were already so familiar with each other and it was not a big deal, and Chi Jingyuan just happened to be a professional match, so she agreed right away.

But... although he agreed, to be honest, he didn't take it too seriously. Moreover, he was busy with work during that time and had never put it on the agenda. Now such a long time has passed and there has been no progress. Today, he was suddenly asked about it by the real owner. Even with Chi Jingyuan's thick skin, he couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

However, the guilty expression only lasted for a second. Chi Jingyuan immediately said seriously, "I have listened to some songs in the music library recently, but I haven't found any that are suitable for Girls' Generation..."

Of course he wouldn't say something hurtful like 'I don't take it to heart at all'.

And Chi Jingyuan didn't lie, he had indeed heard it... just not for too long.

"As for creation, I haven't had any inspiration recently..."

Seeing Kim Taeyeon's somewhat disappointed look, Chi Jingyuan changed the subject: "But Noona, you can tell me your opinion. What do you think about the style and songs of this comeback? I'll see if you can give me some inspiration..."

He didn't take it seriously before because he was busy and it was still early, but now after hearing Kim Taeyeon talk about Girls' Generation's current situation, Ji Jingyuan actually felt some empathy. In addition, he has a good relationship with Kim Taeyeon and Lee Sunkyu, so if it is appropriate, he would not hesitate to help them.

When he debuted, Girls' Generation was at its peak. He witnessed the rise of this all-time girl group and also experienced its decline. If he can personally participate in their disbanding and ending this time, it can be said that he has a beginning and an end.

And no matter what, he is still a fan of Yoona.

"As for the idea of ​​the song..."

Kim Taeyeon was a little disappointed at first, but her eyes lit up immediately after hearing what Chi Jingyuan said. After thinking for a while, she immediately said, "... I think that the songs this time don't need to be too explosive, nor do they need to have some relatively novel concepts. It's best to be gentle and nostalgic, that is, on a small stage with gentle lights, we sing for them on the stage, and our fans listen quietly below, and everyone enjoys and is attached to each other..."

“…I hope this album is a thank you and a farewell to all the fans who have supported us for so long. Although it is a farewell, I don’t really like a too sad style. I hope it feels like a fresh start.”

This sister had obviously thought about it carefully a long time ago. She talked for a long time without thinking much. She was very serious and expressed her thoughts on this album with some emotion. After she finished speaking, she looked at Chi Jingyuan's eyes and seemed to feel that she had too many ideas. She waved her hand quickly: "But this is my own idea, but the title song can't be too lyrical. Jingyuan, if you have any ideas, just follow yours..."

"Ah."

To Kim Taeyeon's surprise, Chi Jingyuan nodded in agreement after hearing her idea: "Actually, I think so too."

What Kim Taeyeon said was exactly what Ji Jingyuan wanted. In fact, in Ji Jingyuan's eyes, the songs in Girls' Generation's tenth anniversary album were indeed more suitable for the sentimental and nostalgic style.

There is no need for difficult songs to show one’s ability, because after so many years, Shaoshi no longer needs to prove anything.

There is no need for overly explosive dance music, or addictive hits... Let alone whether or not they can get such rare song resources, if they use such songs, Girls' Generation's tenth anniversary album will lose its special meaning and become ordinary and vulgar.

No matter how good the results are this time, it will not change the reality that the three members of Girls' Generation will not renew their contracts, all members have already focused on personal resources, and the entire group is about to disband.

Therefore, Ji Jingyuan's unexpected idea was consistent with Kim Taeyeon's. He also felt that this album and songs were suitable as a farewell and statement to fans. It was a tribute and mutual gratitude for the ten-year support and companionship between Girls' Generation and SONE. It also put a perfect end to the group. Regardless of whether there is a possibility of a return in the future, at least this time, both the idols and the fans have no regrets.

Even the results don’t need to be great… as long as the idols and fans can understand it, that’s enough.

"Companionship, warmth, farewell, promise..."

Chi Jingyuan wrote down these keywords on the computer, and seemed to have some ideas in his mind. After a moment of silence, he tapped on the keyboard, looked at Jin Taeyeon and said, "I have some feeling. I have been trying to find some inspiration recently... If I have time in the next two days, I will look through the music library to see if there is any suitable for you guys."

Although the words were the same, unlike his previous perfunctory response, this time he really took it to heart.

"Of course you're fine!"

Seeing his serious look, Kim Taeyeon immediately smiled happily, and stood over like a dog with her fists clenched to cheer for Chi Jingyuan: "Our Jingyuan is ZZzang!! The most ZZzang!"

Although Chi Jingyuan laughed, he couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied when he saw Kim Taeyeon standing up and being a child of almost the same height as Chi Jingyuan when he was sitting.

This kind of support is not interesting at all. It would be better if it was Yoona senior.

Kim Taeyeon was relieved to have this done and she was looking forward to it. After chatting with Chi Jingyuan about the album, she looked at the time and got up to say goodbye because she had other plans. But just as she was about to leave, she suddenly remembered something:
"By the way, I heard that the cooperation with GUCCI is about to come to fruition. Jingyuan, have you heard anything about it?"

"Ah?" Hearing her suddenly ask this, Chi Jingyuan was stunned: "A little bit."

"I was saying, how could you not know about the company's relationship with GUCCI~" Kim Taeyeon looked like she had expected this, and then leaned over and asked curiously, "...Does Yoona have a good chance?"

"Forehead……"

This question made Chi Jingyuan completely stunned.

What could he say about this? That he had ruined it himself?
A burst of wild thoughts flew through his mind, but he remained calm on the surface, just nodded stiffly: "Big, very big."

"Ah? Really? How big is it?"

"Um……"

Chi Jingyuan pursed his lips, thought for a moment, and said solemnly: "It's a hundred times more than yours, Nuna."

"Ai Xi, go to hell! If you don't want to say it, just say it directly..."

As soon as Kim Taeyeon heard it, she knew he was joking. She waved her hand in annoyance and turned around to leave without asking any more questions. However, after taking two steps, she turned back and took the initiative to ask, "Also, when you are better in a few days, let's call a few friends to go out for dinner and have fun together? It's considered a welcome for you."

"Okay." Chi Jingyuan agreed immediately after hearing this: "I met Jonghyun this morning, and he also asked me out."

"That's what he told me at noon. Otherwise, how would I know you were coming to the company... Of course, I had this idea in mind. What time do you think is suitable?"

"I'm going to have my stitches removed on the 21st. How about the 22nd?"

"It's okay, it's up to you."

Kim Taeyeon made an agreed gesture, then rolled her eyes and asked with a strange expression: "Do you want to call her Mina xi? If you want to call her that, I won't call her Irene anymore."

"Ah."

Seeing Kim Taeyeon winking and making eyes, with an expression that said 'I'm thinking about you', Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but smile. After thinking for a while, he said, "Go ahead and call her. I'll ask her later. If she has time, I'll ask her to come along."

"As soon as Irene heard that you were injured, she went to the hospital to see you overnight. That's really... OK, call~"

…………

Kim Taeyeon left with a smirk of disdain. Chi Jingyuan laughed helplessly and turned around to pack up and leave when he suddenly received a call from Park Jae-hyun.

"Jingyuan, are you still in the company?"

"In the music room, what happened, brother?"

"I'm coming to see you now... GUCCI has already decided on the artists to work with, so let us know first."
