Extra Huang Lizhi Extra I like to see you smile
JYP's recording studio.
4 p.m.
Park Jin-young and Yi Haoyan were waiting in the recording studio together.
Today it is Huang Lizhi's turn to record.
Generally speaking, Yi Haoyan doesn't need to do this kind of thing.
He himself doesn't know how to record or sing. Even when he was a producer, he left the professional work of recording to professional singers and recording engineers.
An all-round musician like Park Jin-young who can write songs, sing and produce is the protagonist of today's recording.
Itzy's development has not been smooth. They started off strong but ended up declining. They were at their peak at the beginning, but then got worse and worse. Now they have been debuting for four years, which should normally be the peak of their careers, but Itzy lacks stamina and is not as good as other girl groups that debuted later from other companies.
As one of the three major management companies , JYP certainly could not sit still in the face of this situation and had to ask Park Jin-young to personally take charge of the production of Itzy's album this time.
Hence today’s recording.
…
The recording studio's equipment is very professional, with good sound insulation and dim lighting, making it easier for singers to concentrate.
Park Jin-young looked casual in a sports T-shirt, shorts and slippers.
“Singers can only perform at their best when they are relaxed.”
The gorillas chatted casually while they prepared.
He was the one who was in charge of Itzy's debut. Huang Lizhi is JYP's secret weapon, and Park Jin Young certainly knows him well.
"It usually takes a long time for Yeji to record songs, so you have to be mentally prepared."
Yi Haoyan was about to ask why.
Yeji comes in.
Light blue wide-leg jeans, a waist-baring short T-shirt, and a white baseball cap, the girl's outfit today is as handsome as ever.
Even with light makeup, her tired look still could not be concealed but it did not affect Huang Lizhi's beauty. Her unique facial features and bone structure were truly a gift from God.
The narrow, upturned, sharp fox eyes, coupled with the facial contour with sharp lines, make Huang Lizhi's face look delicate, unique and highly recognizable.
No one who has seen it will forget it.
That was what Yi Haoyan was like at the beginning.
…
"PDnim! I'm ready. I'm in good shape today. I should be able to finish the recording in one day."
The girl seems to be in good condition.
As soon as he came in, he greeted everyone cheerfully.
"Uh... why are you here?"
Huang Lizhi was stunned when he saw Yi Haoyan.
This man and I are a little entangled.
Before my debut, he came to the company and asked for me to develop in his company.
At that time, Lizhi was scared, thinking that it was the bully chaebol's young master who came to kidnap her.
She naturally rejected the other party.
However, the young master did not give up and made the same request many times even after his debut.
Although Li Zhi later found out that Yi Haoyan was not a bad person, the girl still did not agree to this outrageous request.
After all, she is already the captain of itzy. How could she abandon the other members and defect?
And then, everyone knows what happened next.
The girl group under Yi Haoyan is developing better and better and becoming more and more famous.
Although itzy, who insisted on staying, became popular at the beginning, he soon lost momentum. Among the fifth-generation groups, he was obviously not as popular as other groups.
This put JYP, a famous girl group in the industry, at the center of public opinion.
Fortunately, the situation of their junior group who debuted after them was worse, which in turn relieved a lot of pressure for Itzy and made Huang Lizhi's life a little easier.
But not much stronger.
In short, Yi Haoyan's appearance made the girl a little embarrassed.
I rejected the other party at the beginning, but now it has developed into this situation. I feel really embarrassed.
"Yeji, it's okay. Haoyan just came to take a look at your recordings. Just pretend he doesn't exist. He doesn't know how to sing anyway."
It's a rare opportunity for Park Jin-young to laugh at Yi Haoyan.
As a musician who has been in the industry for many years and who loves music, he felt humiliated that he was beaten to the point where he couldn't fight back in the professional field of planning by a man 22 years younger than him.
Now that he finally had the chance to vent his anger, the gorilla was not polite at all.
"Yezhi, just focus on recording. I just came over to take a look today when I had some free time. Just pretend I don't exist."
Yi Haoyan has always been gentle to Huang Lizhi.
This girl possesses all the unique charms and good qualities he wants, and is almost a high-quality idol that is hard to come by in the eyes of men.
Moreover, she is the only idol that Yi Haoyan wants very much but cannot get.
So we take even better care of it.
Sure enough, what you can't get is the best .
"Inside~"
Huang Lizhi nodded, then hid in the practice room obediently.
She knows Park Jin-young's style very well.
Strict and demanding, Lizhi came here today well prepared.
Start recording.
According to the established arrangement, Li Zhi sang one sentence at a time.
After singing, she would decide whether to sing again or ask JYP for advice based on the effect of the singing. Park Jin-young would occasionally interrupt and point out problems, and then let Yeji make corrections.
Judging from the entire recording process, Park Jung-young is indeed very demanding, and his way of instruction is basically to find problems and then let the girls make changes.
If the change is not good, keep changing it.
And JYP himself is a professional singer, so he will demonstrate.
After he finished demonstrating, he would ask Lizhi to follow and learn, and sometimes he would even emphasize how a certain word should be pronounced and what emotion it should express.
The two communicated across a recording studio.
Yi Haoyan said nothing and carefully observed the conditions of the two people.
As the recording progressed, the progress became slower and slower. Often, a certain sentence or the expression of a certain lyric was re-recorded many times. Park Jin-young spoke more and more, trying to make Huang Lizhi understand his meaning in various ways. Lizhi spoke less and less.
Basically, there are a few simple responses like “I got it,” “OK,” and “I’ll try again.”
However, the progress did not become smoother, and the recording became slower and slower.
There was a part that Park Jin-young had sung several times, but Yeji still didn't meet his requirements. The gorilla paused the recording, opened the door of the next studio and walked in.
"Yeji, this song is very touching, but you didn't sing it in a way that would make people feel touched."
"Mianye."
Huang Lizhi seemed to feel very guilty and looked like he was about to cry.
Park Jin-young saw her expression but offered no comfort.
In his past experience, it is a very normal process for singers to cry while recording songs.
He doesn't think it's a big deal to shed tears because of singing badly.
But Yi Haoyuan didn't think so. He felt that Huang Lizhi was about to collapse.
So he walked in.
“PD, please go out and rest for a while. I’ll talk to Yeji.”
"What are you doing here?"
When Park Jung-young gets into working mode, he behaves like an artist. In this field which he considers to be his profession, he doesn't buy into Yi Haoyan's ideas at all.
"I said you go out first, I will take care of Yeji's problem."
Yi Haoyan stood still, staring at Park Jinyoung, and repeated his words word by word.
This time, his tone was not as polite as before.
The man told Park Jin Young in a very direct way.
The person who is talking to him now is not an ordinary young man, but a young upstart who is rich enough to rival a country on the global wealth list.
This calm but powerful attitude immediately sobered the artist up.
The gorilla was silent for a moment, then turned and walked out.
"Are you okay?"
The man handed Yeji a piece of paper and asked her to wipe her tears.
Just now when he was confronting Park Jin-young, the girl finally couldn't hold back her tears.
"I, I'm fine. I'll be there soon! It won't delay the recording!"
Li Zhi took the tissue and lowered her head to wipe her tears.
"Don't worry, it doesn't matter whether it's recorded or not."
"It doesn't matter! This is my job!"
The girl was persistent.
She is a child who works very hard. She has a simple personality and is very persistent in doing things. If she thinks she has not done a good job, she will work hard to complete it.
But Yi Haoyan didn't think much about it.
He felt that it was not the girl's problem.
But now Huang Lizhi obviously trusts Park Jinyoung more, so he thought of a way.
The man nodded, sighed, and looked at Li Zhi with red eyes lovingly.
"If, I mean if, Yeji, you nod your head and are willing to go to my place now, the one crying will probably be Park Jinyoung outside."
“Puff.”
The girl was suddenly at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Even at this time, he is still thinking about poaching people! How persistent!
So strange!
"Miyane~Thank you for your kindness. It's good here. I...I don't want to go to your place...but I don't regret it either."
After once again rejecting Yi Haoyan's poaching attempt, Huang Lizhi's mood suddenly became a little better.
But she didn't tell the truth.
In fact, Li Zhi regretted it.
Especially when seeing itzy's development is getting worse and worse, while several girl groups under Yi Haoyan are getting better and better.
She had doubted her original choice more than once.
But it's just a suspicion.
Huang Lizhi is not the kind of person who gives up halfway, and it is difficult for her to choose to change jobs for this reason. Even if Yi Haoyan expressed his willingness to pay a high penalty for her.
Huang Lizhi is the kind of woman who is a little silly but will stick to one man forever.
Even if itzy fails in the end, she will persist to the end as the captain.
She is that kind of child.
So even if he actually regretted it in his heart, Huang Lizhi remained tough on the surface.
"Yeji, no need to apologize."
Yi Haoyan smiled and didn't care about the girl's attitude.
"I know you. It's okay if you choose to stay here. I can come over."
"Inside? Come here?"
This sentence confused Huang Lizhi.
Her little brain couldn't understand.
"If you don't join my girl group, I can buy your company!"
The man smiled brightly.
"I came here today to discuss the acquisition details with JYP. From now on, we will be members of the same company. Yeji, your choice is right, don't regret it. You can just stand there and I will come over."
Huang Lizhi understood and was completely stunned.
She never expected a man to do this!
Because he refused to change jobs and because of a female idol who rejected him, he has to buy the entire company?
What on earth is this for?
"When I come, you have to change this recording habit. Don't always talk about problems and shortcomings. Why don't you mention any of our Lizhi's many advantages? How can you always talk about shortcomings? You have to encourage and educate! Children are raised by praise! In the future, you have to praise while recording!"
The man complained and muttered something that Lizhi couldn't understand.
She couldn't believe that Yi Haoyan acquired JYP for her, but the man's performance so far made her feel that this possibility was very high.
The girl has fallen into a huge and complex emotion and cannot extricate herself.
Touched? Or heart-warming? Or both?
The girl couldn't tell the difference.
She only remembered one sentence.
"Don't cry, Yezhi, you look beautiful when you smile. I like to see you smile."
"Inside~"
