Chapter 202 I heard it was a new company called Dispatch
On the day when "Strong Heart" was broadcast, Bigbang was holding the first concert of the Alive Galaxy World Tour in Seoul, and Ye Eun also officially met with the program staff mentioned by Teacher Kim Joo Won before in the past few days.
This program is the first self-made dance variety show in South Korea, "Dancing 9", planned by the program. After advancing from the auditions, contestants from various countries are divided into two teams to compete in modern dance, jazz, traditional dance, street dance, and K-POP.
The PD smiled and looked at Ye-eun. They were naturally very satisfied with Ye-eun who had performed well in "Dancing with the Stars" last year. "The other mentors have been confirmed. As long as Ye-eun can come, each team will have five mentors."
However, Ye-eun looked at the mentor lineup, audition lineup and competition system for a long time, and finally took a deep breath, raised her head and shook it seriously.
"Is there a problem?" The PD was stunned for a moment, and even the agent Xiaopang was stunned.
Are you really afraid that you will be scolded if you become a mentor to these professional dancers? Xiaopang winked at Yien anxiously, you are not the only artist in there, what are you afraid of!
Ye-eun ignored her agent's look and expressed the idea that she had been thinking about for a long time: "PD-nim, maybe, I can participate as a contestant?"
She looked at the PD. She was a little nervous about her request, but she suddenly felt relieved after she said it. "I see that the dancers on the audition list of the program team are all top dancers in various dance styles, but there seems to be almost no choreographers, right?"
In addition to the auditions, this competition has eight more matches. The seven matches before the finals are all in the form of a team showdown followed by a single battle for extra points. The role of the choreographer in the competition is self-evident.
Everyone was stunned for a moment. The PD looked at the currently popular artist in front of him and asked tentatively: "Contestant? But with your current popularity, Yeenxi..."
Ye-eun's eyes were determined. This program, which had been in preparation since last year, had indeed invited all the top dancers available in Korea. Compared with the mentors, the contestants actually had more contact with these dancers.
She thought that as long as she passed the audition, at least she would be able to choreograph a dance with the professional dancers, which would be more rewarding than just making choices every week as a mentor and team leader.
As for the question that the production team is also struggling with, Ye-eun smiled and said, "PD-nim, are you worried that I will be embarrassed if I fail the audition? Don't worry, I am mentally prepared."
Since she has such a good opportunity to learn from so many top dancers, she naturally has to seize it.
Seeing her serious expression, the PD finally nodded, thought for a moment and whispered, "Okay, do you want to hold an audition..."
The other staff members looked at him, and even Xiaopang started nodding. Damn it, if he fails the audition, the image of ACE of YeeEn Dance will be ruined.
Seeing their expressions, Ye-eun quickly waved her hands, "No, no, if I don't make it through the audition, it means I'm really not that good. If I make it through the post-audition, I'll be exposed as weak."
Ye-eun and Kwon Ji-yong found it funny when they talked about how they used backdoors to guarantee passing the auditions.
After Kwon Ji-Dragon and other members of Bigbang held three concerts in Seoul Olympic Sports Center over three consecutive days, they only have promotional performances left this month. The next concert will be held in Japan in May, but Kwon Ji-Dragon is still very busy.
He lowered his head and used the mouse to modify the lyrics of "Crayon". He scratched his red sea squirt hair in confusion. The action matched the hairstyle and he looked very badass. "What? It's not strange for them to do this."
As he said this, he sighed again, stared at the lyrics on the screen and fell into thought again.
Since May, Bigbang has had a world tour almost every other day, and his solo comeback plan can only be pushed forward by squeezing time into his busy schedule.
Ye-eun also knew that he had spent almost all of his free time recently on his second solo comeback. She glanced at the folder on his computer screen and saw that after Kwon Ji-yong saved it, this song had a new version of the lyrics.
[Crayon initial version], [Modified version], [Modified version 1], [Modified version 2], [Final version], [Final version 1], [Final version].
Ye-eun has long been accustomed to his hesitation. In fact, given Kwon Ji-yong's perfectionism towards his songs, she seriously suspects that this person will have several versions, and it is not impossible that he will hesitate for several days and finally use the first version.
"By the way, I'm going to England the day after tomorrow for training." Ye Eun sat on the sofa and looked at Kwon Ji Yong. Sure enough, Kwon Ji Yong, who was still struggling with the lyrics, immediately raised his head.
"Going to the UK for training? How long will it take?" Artists' work is scheduled on an annual basis, and both of them are busy with work. Sometimes they are so busy that they don't even know their schedule for the next day. There are also times when they have to fly the next day but only find out from their agent on the same day.
"One week, go to Urbandancecamp and learn from those teachers." Ye Eun supported her chin. After coming back, she started auditioning. The first world tour of 2NE1 will be at the end of July. This program will start in mid-March and end in mid-May. The next year will be almost full.
Quan Zhilong let go of the hand holding the mouse, calculated the time in his mind, and sighed. This year is really too busy...
He thought for a moment, then lowered his head to ask his agent Kim Nam-guk for his schedule. He still had three days of free time. Kwon Ji-yong silently looked up at Ye-eun.
"..." Ye-eun sighed, feeling helpless but also a little amused, "It was OK when we went to Japan last time, but this time it will take a whole day to go back and forth to England, so stop making trouble."
Just as Kwon Ji-yong was about to speak, Ye-eun immediately interrupted him.
"Besides, I don't have time to stay with you because I'm going to training," she pushed away Quan Zhilong's face that was trying to get closer, "Just stay in Korea this time."
Kwon Ji-yong felt aggrieved and didn't speak to Yi-eun for half an hour.
Half an hour later, he couldn't help it anymore and sent a message to Yien on his phone, "You can stay for a day."
Ye-eun laughed at the fact that he was sending a message even though he was right beside her. After being glared at by Quan Zhilong, she lowered her head and typed while saying word by word: "Start to adapt now..."
Start getting used to cell phone connections now.
Quan Zhilong knew what the remaining few words were without Yien having to finish typing. He hummed twice before he agreed to her wish and spoke: "It just so happens that it's your period, so there's no one to make hot water for you."
"My assistant will help me prepare it." Ye Eun glanced at him with a smile in her eyes.
Quan Zhilong glared at her and continued to think, "No one will hold you to sleep at night for the next week."
"Ah, that's so comfortable! I can finally stretch out and sleep for a week!" Ye-eun pretended to be happy, "I don't have to feel like I'm tied up every morning when I wake up."
"..." Quan Zhilong looked at her and curled his lips, "Then there's no one to help you get things when you always forget to bring them into the bathroom!"
Ye-eun raised an eyebrow, “I was staying in a hotel alone and I came out naked by myself.”
Seeing Quan Zhilong still racking his brains to come up with an excuse, she burst out laughing, sat directly on his knees, hugged his neck and said, "Hey, who is the most clingy puppy in the family?"
"...Jia Hu." Quan Zhilong put his forehead against hers, pursed his lips and blinked, "I don't want to be separated from you."
We didn't have much time to be together this year, and suddenly we had to go to the UK for training...
He muttered quietly, "You do the math yourself. I'll be promoting my songs and you'll be competing in March. I'll start rehearsing in Japan at the end of April. You'll finish the competition in May and I'll start holding concerts again..."
And when his busy World Tour schedule in May and June ended, Ye-eun started rehearsals for the World Tour again.
Where do we find time to spend together this year?
Yien curled her eyes, hugged his neck and slowly put her head on his neck, "Maybe I will be eliminated halfway through the competition..."
"What are you talking about!" Quan Zhilong glanced at her sideways, his face full of seriousness, "Our Ye Eun will definitely make it to the end."
Ye Eun laughed so hard that her shoulders were shaking as she buried herself in his arms, "I know. I will play well in the competition."
Quan Zhilong hugged her and sighed, then whispered, "I really need to get used to cell phone calls in the next few months..."
On the first day after arriving in the UK, Yien went to the training center almost immediately. This training center recruits ordinary students externally, but has special training for artistes internally. The only difference is that the teachers inside are better, so the price is naturally more expensive.
Accompanying her was Lee Jae-wook, the head of YG's dance troupe. The two had become very familiar with each other over the years. Usually, Lee Jae-wook, as a staff member, spoke more, but his English was not very good. This time, it was almost always Ye-eun who contacted the teachers in the UK directly.
The choreography teacher from Madonna’s team, the choreography group that has worked with Michael Jackson many times… Even Ye-en, who considered herself to be talented, learned more within a few days.
When Kwon Ji-yong received the video call from Ye-eun, he had just finished work. The two of them calculated the time difference in advance and started laughing almost as soon as the call was connected.
Quan Zhilong looked at Yien's excitement, propped up his face and squinted his eyes: "Did you meet another great teacher today?"
"Yeah!" Yeen nodded and quickly recounted her day's schedule like a small machine gun.
Kwon Ji-yong listened carefully and would sigh from time to time when he heard a great dancer. Just like he would feel happy when working with world-famous producers, he was also excited to learn from Ye-eun and these seniors.
"What about you? Did you get another first place?" Ye-eun held her chin with both hands, her eyes curved, "Oh my god, it turns out to be Bigbang that everyone avoids when releasing songs."
Quan Zhilong raised his eyebrows and showed a proud look in front of his girlfriend, "Well, of course every time I release a song, I'm aiming for the number one spot."
He suddenly pointed his phone at the computer and said, "By the way, I'm still a little confused between the original and this version of the song Crayon. I recorded a demo for both. You can listen to it..."
As he spoke, he directly clicked the play button. Ye-eun's assistant raised his eyes, pushed open the door very carefully and left the room first.
Ye-eun curled her lips and muttered quietly, "You let it go too fast. Unnie didn't even have time to leave."
Quan Zhilong was stunned for a moment before he realized who she was talking about. His eyes curved and he said, "I forgot."
The two demos differ in melody by only a few words and beats, and Ye-Eun almost feels like she’s playing spot the difference every time she listens to him letting her choose.
The demo, which was very musical in style with Kwon Ji-yong, made Ye-eun tap the beat gently. Even though Ye-eun thought both songs were good, when she saw the slightly different expressions on Kwon Ji-yong's faces when he played the songs for her, she knew which version Kwon Ji-yong liked better.
She smiled and said, "Original version, right?"
"Ah, after all, the original version is better!" Quan Zhilong breathed a sigh of relief and stopped struggling. He sent the original version directly to the president, "Then let's temporarily decide on this version."
After finishing all the work, Quan Zhilong turned off the computer, took his phone and lay on the bed, muttering softly: "I miss you..."
"Yeah, I miss you too." Ye-eun squinted her eyes and smiled at Quan Zhilong on the phone, "I'll be back soon."
Quan Zhilong changed his posture, lying on the bed, with his chin on the phone, and muttered a few words: "Recently, someone has been following me and taking secret photos. Come on, why are they taking photos when you are not in Korea..."
Ye Eun smiled instantly, ever since "Strong Heart" was aired, it seemed like the media had secretly started a competition, whoever got to take a private intimate photo of the two first would be able to prove their strength, and the two were almost always followed by the media.
"A few days ago, I found someone following me..." Ye-eun squinted her eyes. It was still daylight on her side. She turned her head and looked out the window. The reporter who was downstairs yesterday had disappeared. "I asked and they said they were from Dispatch? It's a media company that was established just over a year ago."
After returning to the hotel, Ye Eun checked this media company that could actually track down the British. It turned out that it was a company founded by a group of sports reporters at the end of the previous year. As soon as their company was established, they broke the news about Liu Haizhen and Kim Hye Soo's relationship. Although they didn't reveal any big news afterwards, there were still a lot of small news.
Ye-eun sighed, "They've even followed us all the way to England. I think this company might have a few reporters who are really good at following us."
"...You still went to ask?" Quan Zhilong laughed. Chebai, how can you get along well with reporters?
Ye-eun nodded and said seriously, "Reporters are the people who can manipulate public opinion the most. Even if you can't make friends with them, don't offend them."
The usually smooth-talking Kwon Ji-yong curled his lips. He was really annoyed by the reporters who followed him around and took pictures of his private life every day. Even an artist wouldn't want to be followed every day.
Ye-eun noticed his displeasure and smiled, "Oh my god, I'm good at making friends! Don't worry, if we meet reporters from this company next time, I'll ask them to take better photos of us."
The slightest bit of annoyance in Quan Zhilong's heart was amused by Yi En's words, "Wow, they are using us as material for the competition, but you are thinking about whether the filming is good or not? I'm still playing a cat and mouse game with them."
Thinking of this, he also laughed, propped up his chin and said proudly: "I am the best at playing games. I don't believe they can take pictures."
