Chapter 292 Countless small cakes were born because of you
Because she was working, Ye-eun just glanced at Kwon Ji-yong and then turned her gaze away.
"Because it's a live rehearsal, we won't say too much to you all. You can just watch the rehearsal stage." CL's ability to control the stage has become stronger and stronger in recent years, and her words have become more and more crisp and clear. After she finished speaking, she turned around and led the members to stand in the designated position for the first song "If I were you".
The camera zoomed out again, and the music that was just heard on the online platform today was transmitted to the live broadcast.
[? ? ? ]
[Mo Ya, perform a new song! ! ! ]
[You haven’t even returned to the stage yet, but you’re performing live for everyone? ]
[Ahhhhhhhhh, new song premiere! ]
Five people sat in a circle with their backs to each other. There were only staff and Quan Zhilong in the audience, while countless Blackjacks were watching online. Ye Eun lowered her head slightly, and the ends of her raspberry purple hair only reached her shoulders. Because of her short haircut, she looked a little more casual. However, when she spoke into the microphone, she was full of tenderness: "Today is another day that has passed like this. I live this day only for you..."
The soft voice coupled with the sad lyrics draws everyone into the story of the song as soon as the song opens.
As the five people sang one after another, the circular revolving stage they were on began to rotate. Minzy's voice was loud and powerful after Ye-eun, Dara was soft but cute, and CL's rap was full of swag and domineering, not to mention Bom's iconic voice. Everyone's part showed their timbre and singing style very well.
Although they were singing while sitting, all five of them had very stable voices. Apart from the occasional radio problem and differences in the sound source, their live performance was almost identical to that on the CD.
Quan Zhilong, who was watching in the audience seats far away, propped up his chin and looked at the five people on the stage, and couldn't help but smile.
This is CL's first attempt at producing her own album. She wrote the lyrics and composed the music for five of the ten songs. In addition to studying with Teddy, she also came to him from time to time to ask him about creative issues since last year.
What Kwon Ji-yong mentioned the most was writing songs for his team, and he made sure that each member's part could show their own charm.
He has been doing this for many years, and CL did it this time too.
From "If I were you" to "Scream", "Fire" and finally to "Crush", which is also a new song, the rehearsal of the four songs is over and the fans watching the live broadcast are already excited behind the screen.
The rehearsal live broadcast actually performed two songs! Even though it's not the main song, it's a ballad, a song to sing and dance, and it's completely satisfying.
2NE1 maintained their usual style, and after rehearsing these five songs, they waved directly to the camera. The live broadcast ended so abruptly that the fans didn't even have time to react before the footage was cut off.
The live broadcast ended, but the rehearsal had just begun, because it was the first rehearsal for 2NE1's second world tour, and they had to rehearse the entire concert completely.
Quan Zhilong, who is always very strict about the stage, watched the entire rehearsal and occasionally offered his own opinions. He was so meticulous that he even corrected a lighting angle or the coordination of the dancers.
As the group closest to Bigbang, 2NE1 has not only seen the "worried" Kwon Ji-yong adjusting the performance details at the YG Family concert, but has also worked with him many times and naturally knows his ultimate pursuit of the stage.
In response to his suggestions, even Ye-eun, who usually plays and jokes with Kwon Ji-yong, adjusted the small details with the other members again and again with a serious look on her face after listening to his ideas.
The rehearsal for the two-and-a-half-hour concert finally ended at 11 o'clock in the evening.
There is only one hour left until Ye-eun's birthday.
"Do you want to celebrate your birthday together?" Kwon Ji-yong hugged Ye-eun from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder, and asked CL.
CL, whose birthday is only one day apart from Ye-eun's, shook her head and said that she would never celebrate her birthday with a couple.
The other members also shook their heads, especially Dara, who could not be contacted after midnight unless he had work. He raised his hand and yawned, "I'm going to sleep."
Because they worked together yesterday, they had already celebrated Cailin and Yien's birthdays in advance and the gifts had already been given out, so there was no need for them to celebrate with them now.
Quan Zhilong was just asking politely, but when he heard their refusal, he smiled and said, "That's great, we're leaving."
"..." CL glanced at him and resisted the urge to roll her eyes. She didn't know how they ended up with this group of seniors where every member liked to tease them.
Looking at the backs of the two people leaving, Bom yawned and reacted a long time later, "They didn't want to invite us today..."
Because Ye-eun still has work tomorrow afternoon, Kwon Ji-yong originally prepared a small celebration ceremony for Ye-eun. However, because Ye-eun said that she saw fans on IG saying that there was a big-screen birthday support in Seongdong District, she wanted to check in, and she only had a little time left today to go, Kwon Ji-yong naturally chose to accompany her.
Over the years, they have celebrated countless birthdays together. In the past two years, due to work reasons, they sometimes cannot spend time and energy on celebrations like this. The sense of ceremony does not seem to be as strong as before, but the gifts are getting more and more expensive.
Ye-eun had just gotten into the car and hadn't even greeted Jiahu and Julie in the car when she received a gift from Quan Zhilong, "Happy birthday, Babe."
A key.
"Moya, did you really buy a house near Dongmyo?" Ye-eun smiled as she looked at the key in her hand, "Just so I can go to Dongmyo?"
Quan Zhilong nodded, with a matter-of-fact look on his face, "When you get tired of strolling around Dongmyo, you can just go home and lie down. Aren't you happy?"
happy! Ye-eun clapped her hands, her eyes curved, and she spoke in a deliberately hoarse voice: "Thank you, Zhilong Oppa!"
Quan Zhilong's mouth corners raised because of her pretentious look, while Lao Hu, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat, couldn't help but pursed his lips.
I still don’t know how much money my two employers have!
Thinking about the New Year's Eve when Ye Eun asked her assistant to bring a painting home as a New Year's gift for Kwon Ji-yong, he casually said that he seemed to have seen a similar one at home.
I didn't expect to get it because Quan Zhilong has been particularly fond of Richard Prince's nurse series of oil paintings in the past two years, and Yien is working hard to collect the twelve paintings in this series that have not been sold yet...
It is said that the cheapest painting in the series was once auctioned for 2.3 million US dollars.
Tiger took a look at the two people who had a house and a painting worth a fortune behind them, and took a deep breath.
Rich people do have a lot of fun celebrating their birthdays and various festivals.
As soon as they arrived at the check-in point closest to the big screen, the two of them just carried Jiahu and Julie out of the car. They couldn't contain their excitement when they saw the familiar environment near their home.
The two dogs, who are over five years old, are actually in their prime for Shar-Pei dogs, and even being tied with a leash cannot stop their enthusiasm for playing.
The leash around her wrist was stretched tight by their running. Ye-eun moved her wrist and Julie immediately slowed down.
The little tiger that Quan Zhilong brought with him was even more full of energy, and he couldn't stop being excited as he was having fun along the Han River.
The Han River that runs through Seoul is not crowded in the Seongdong District, but the two people were walking towards the big screen prepared by fans along the Han River, leading their Shar-Pei dog that had appeared in the camera many times and their bodyguard who had also been photographed many times and even had a lot of IG followers. Someone had already recognized them.
However, most people politely did not approach, and the occasional one who came close to request a photo or autograph was politely rejected by the two men today.
Tiger and the other bodyguards usually only guard against private fans and anti-fans, not fans and passers-by. The two of them were a little nervous as they tried to check in like this for the first time.
The evening breeze was blowing gently. Jiahu and Julie, who had just rushed forward, circled around the two people comfortably. Their black eyes were bright and transparent under the night light. The two dogs were not afraid of passers-by who occasionally took pictures of them with their mobile phones. Instead, they immediately captured the camera's attention like their owners.
"It seems like there's no problem?" Ye-eun took Kwon Ji-yong's arm, glanced at the surrounding scene with her peripheral vision, and bowed slightly to thank a stranger who whispered happy birthday to her nearby.
Quan Zhilong nodded and glanced at the people around him with that casual look. The boys who met his gaze suddenly stood up straight and looked a little respectful. Quan Zhilong turned his eyes back and his mouth hidden under the mask suddenly curled up.
Mo Ya, although Cha In Pyo said on the show before that many teenagers who are about the same age as his child respect him very much, it is a bit funny to treat him like a teacher now.
Yien also noticed the reserved look of the boy who looked only seventeen or eighteen years old, and smiled with her lips pursed.
It seems that I can be bolder and go out for a walk occasionally in the future? Trying to do what ordinary couples do most, walking down the street, seems to be quite happy.
Thinking about how several celebrity couples who were photographed and then made public seem to go out on dates from time to time, after people get used to it, they are not so excited about it out of curiosity. Both of them are seriously considering the possibility of wearing masks on the streets in Korea in the future.
Because it was close to March, the temperature in Seoul was just right. On the section of Han River closest to Galleria Foret, the two of them sat in a rest area with scattered people, using the same posture with one hand supporting their chin, watching the big screen in the distance where fans were celebrating Ye-eun's birthday.
There are fans checking in in front, and going up now would disturb them. Ye-eun smiled as she looked at those fans who stole glances at her and Kwon Ji-yong, and pretended not to notice anything even though they clearly recognized them. Her heart softened by their "doting" behavior.
How can fans be so cute, loving a stranger without asking for anything in return? She couldn't help but sigh: "That's why fans are the only group that can love others."
Quan Zhilong also nodded, put his arm around her, and said with a smile: "Come to think of it, the first woman who wanted to give me a car was not you, Ye Eun."
Yien also thought of what happened that year and burst out laughing.
There are many fans of 2NE1 and Bigbang who have a solid financial foundation. In recent years, fans have given them generous support on their birthdays.
In 2011, Kwon Ji-yong was scared when a fan wanted to give him a luxury car.
She actually ran to the company and showed him a valuable luxury car, and then asked him what color he liked. At that time, Quan Zhilong was really shocked by the other party's sincere eyes.
Kwon Ji-yong, who had never thought of accepting expensive gifts from fans, posted a handwritten letter on SNS at that time, once again emphasizing that he would not accept any gifts from fans except letters and handmade gifts. As a result, fans made their support more and more grand on his birthday.
Ye-eun looked at the big screen in the distance, where the video of dozens of seconds was played repeatedly. She didn't know how much money the fans had spent. She held her chin with her eyes full of happiness but couldn't help muttering: "It would be better to spend money to buy them something delicious."
This "stingy" character is deeply rooted in her bones. Seeing her arrogant expression, Quan Zhilong couldn't help but curl his lips. Meeting the gaze of Ye Eun's fans who secretly looked at him again, he nodded at them, "Because making you happy is happier than them eating delicious food themselves."
Seeing the other party covering his mouth in disbelief and whispering something excitedly to his friends, he curled his lips and turned to look at Ye-eun seriously, "Don't you think the fans' support is sacred? On an ordinary day, so many children who would have had no intersection with each other gathered together just to support us."
——We are extremely fortunate because of your birth. Thinking of this sentence that fans often say, Kwon Ji-yong and Ye-eun looked at each other and laughed.
Ye-eun looked at the fans who could barely hide their excitement. Seeing that they were actually taking photos with their small cakes in front of the big screen, she burst out laughing and took a photo of them with her phone. "Well, it can be considered as buying food for themselves."
Quan Zhilong lowered his chin with his hand, held her hand, and said with a gentle look: "Happy birthday, countless small cakes were born because of you this year."
“Mo,” Ye-eun was amused by his words. Her eyes were curved as she posted her certified “fan check-in” photos on various social media platforms. “Then wish me and countless little cakes a happy birthday.”
