Of course, Ji Yan could overlook Ji Ruan's attempt to promote himself by associating with him, but the internet remembers, and netizens returned to him verbatim the words that Ji Ruan used to mock Ji Yan during his past marketing campaigns.
Ji Ruan, however, seemed not to care at all.
He seems determined to use the opportunity of "Super Flying Man" to make a comeback in the entertainment industry. However, he originally followed the route of a rich young master idol, but now he has changed to the route of a young actor favored by the fashion circle. Ji Ruan's appearance is not particularly outstanding, but his temperament and fashion taste cultivated by the Ji family over the years are quite good. This month, he attended many luxury brand shows and fashion dinners, and also established close relationships with fashion bloggers.
From this perspective, Ji Ruan is actually a very capable person, and he is far superior to Ji Yan in terms of interpersonal skills.
However, Ji Yan felt that Ji Ruan's situation was none of his business. As long as she stopped bothering him, that was fine. If her PR team could only come up with stupid arguments like "Super Flying Man" outperforming "Young Love Poems" to prove that Ji Ruan was better than Ji Yan, then she should just get out of the entertainment industry as soon as possible.
...
Ji Yan continued to work on the album.
The advantage of inviting big-name producers is that Wings' vision has indeed been broadened, because these producers have rich experience and can list several different album styles. Wings can judge the style of an album on their own, but the producers can give them advice on how to create this type of style.
The album production process is also a process of absorption.
The song "Dawn" was also revised by Ji Yan again and again during this process. By the time the final version was finalized, it was very different from the original version created by Ji Yan.
The same applies to the works of Lu Wei and Fang Yu.
The song with the fewest revisions is probably Xie Mingxuan's. In terms of songwriting, Xie Mingxuan is much more mature than them, and the song is very well completed.
However, Xie Mingxuan is always very strict with himself. Even if Ji Yan and the others think a song is good enough, Xie Mingxuan is still not satisfied. He writes it again and again, and then revises it again and again, until he writes something that satisfies him.
This is the quietest time of day in the entire apartment.
Everyone was engrossed in their own creations, their brows furrowed, their pencils constantly scribbling on the paper. Despite the still hot weather, they didn't even turn on the air conditioning, letting the wind from outside blow into the room.
In this new album, the members all reduced the amount of writing about "me".
The album "Mist" contains "Is It Black or White", and "At 23" contains "Future". Both of them are written from the perspective of "wings". In this album, the members consciously detached themselves and created from the perspective of an observer.
Ji Yan wrote a song called "Dawn," but he hasn't even started working on a second song yet.
Lu Wei wrote a song about the starry sky, which was said to be inspired by his reading of "Young Love Poems". Xie Mingxuan focuses on life. Compared with his previous two albums, he takes a more simple route in this new album. Fang Yu, on the other hand, is glamorous, and fashion and celebrities are his focus this time.
The only thing everyone is certain of right now is that the new album will likely be a blend of various elements, encompassing all styles and genres.
Ji Yan and his friends initially considered setting a unified theme, but after some deliberation, they gave up. They weren't very good at writing assigned essays; their free-flowing ideas suited them better.
Whether their style is consistent or not is not important; what is important is that they write works that truly touch people's hearts.
...
"Yi" has had a constant stream of work lately. Ye Ying turned down a large portion of it, while the rest, which was relatively easy, was posted in the group chat. "Yi" said she was going into seclusion, but it was impossible to completely detach herself from the work environment.
When writing songs, doing other work can be a way to relax.
"Yi" hadn't participated in many variety shows before, but the variety shows the members participated in often left a deep impression on the audience. As a result, in the past year or so, most of the work invitations they received were for variety shows, including competitive shows, idol talent shows, lifestyle shows, and even emotional shows.
The fees for variety shows are arguably the highest among all types of jobs, much higher than the members' participation in New Year's Eve concerts. However, Ye Ying has always strictly controlled the frequency of the members' appearances on variety shows. On the one hand, she doesn't want to leave the audience with the impression of variety show personalities, and on the other hand, she wants to maintain the mystery of "Wings" as an idol group.
If she always participates in variety shows, viewers can easily forget what "Wing's" primary role is.
Besides that, there were also offers to star in idol dramas.
Yes, idol dramas.
After Ji Yan gained fame as an actor through He Tang, the scripts handed to him were all things like "The Young Master of the Republic of China Falls in Love with Me," "Spy Shadow," and "XX Young Master." However, even though these dramas used gimmicks like spy shadow and decryption, they were essentially idol dramas with the theme of romance, or depicting the luxurious life and love of noble young men in the Republic of China. If "I, Nameless" had told a similar story, Ji Yan probably wouldn't have participated at all.
But he was handed quite a few notebooks.
After the release of "Young Love Poems", various production teams became more enthusiastic in inviting him, and the scripts they offered were more diverse, including campus heartthrobs who had sweet romances with the female lead in school dramas, and domineering CEOs who were powerful in the business world but remained chaste for the female lead.
Ji Yan thus concluded: "My mistake was being too handsome."
Xie Mingxuan, Lu Wei, and Fang Yu: "..."
After Ji Yan described the content of the script, Lu Wei asked him, "Teacher Ji, are you talking about the script 'Blooming'?"
Ji Yan nodded, but then asked with some doubt, "How did you know?"
“Because they cast a wide net.” Lu Wei pointed to her email: “The production team of ‘Blooming’ also invited me to play the role of Li Junyuan.”
"I received it too," Fang Yu said with a smile. "Unfortunately, I can't act it. I might consider it if you ask me to play a thug next time."
Although Xie Mingxuan didn't say anything, judging from his expression, the production team of "Blooming" had also sent him an invitation.
Ji Yan said that this was not as simple as casting a wide net; this was simply a playboy who hurt his innocent young heart.
Ji Yan isn't completely against acting in TV dramas, but the filming cycle for TV dramas is often too long, and the scripts for actors his age are usually idol dramas, or even more campus dramas, because Ji Yan looks very young, and workplace dramas and family dramas are not suitable for him.
Aside from that, there are endorsements and fashion-related matters. From this perspective, the work of celebrities is actually quite monotonous.
During this period, "Wing" shot several magazine covers, while Ji Yan accepted an exclusive interview with "Film in the City" magazine. "Film in the City" has always admired "Young Love Poems". After the movie was released, the magazine would mention "Young Love Poems" whenever it reviewed art films.
As we move into the second half of the year, the Huayi Awards and Xingying Awards will gradually announce their nomination lists. Since "Young Love Poems" was released this year, it will not participate in the competition for this year's Huayi Awards and Xingying Awards. However, the Changkong Awards will open its application channel at the end of the year. According to the opinion of "Huayang Film" magazine, Ji Yan's performance in "Young Love Poems" is fully worthy of a Changkong Award Best Actor nomination.
Of course, this is just the hope of "Film and Television" magazine. After all, the threshold for the Long Sky Award has always been very high, and there are very few history of actors under the age of 30 being nominated for Best Actor.
Strict standards are the reason why the Chang Kong Awards are widely recognized as the top of the three major film awards.
Ji Yan was writing songs and his head was spinning. The interview with "Fancy Movies" was a good opportunity for him to relax.
At the end of the interview, the reporter asked him, "Ji Yan, what kind of works would you like to try in the future?"
“I’m willing to try any genre except horror movies,” Ji Yan said with a smile. “As a new actor, filming movies has given me a lot of novel experiences. I suddenly entered this field, and for me, new themes mean new growth. I can also learn a lot from the directors and actors I work with.”
The magazine "Huayang Film" summarized: "As a young actor, Ji Yan has few works, but every role he plays is impressive. Despite not having received formal training, Ji Yan is a powerful idol actor and an idol actor among powerful actors. He may be very talented, but in this interview, we can see his diligence and hard work."
"Ji Yan is on the right path, and the best path, for an actor."
...
As the temperature gradually dropped, the creation of the third album finally went smoothly. Ji Yan wrote a song he saw called "Dawn" and another song he imagined called "Fighting Maniac". The other people's compositions also slowly filled the album.
"After we finish the album, can we go on a trip?" Fang Yu rubbed his messy hair. "I feel like my brain has gone back to the time when Pangu created the world."
"The fact that you still remember the creation of the world means you're not out of your mind."
"I want to go out and play!"
It's not that they can't go out and have fun, but if they go out and have fun before the new album is released, no matter where they are photographed, fans will probably urge them to release the album first.
The key point is!
"Releasing an album isn't the end of the story. We still have to do promotions, shoot music videos, and so on..." Fang Yu felt even more overwhelmed. "I'm deeply worried about this year's Spring Festival holiday."
"It's not like they won't even give us a holiday for the Spring Festival." Xie Mingxuan patted him on the shoulder. "At worst, we can rest for a while after the New Year."
“Then the fans will say, ‘It’s time to release a fourth album.’” Fang Yu turned his head and pointed at Ji Yan, “Look at Teacher Ji’s hair, how pitiful!”
Ji Yan: "..."
very good.
One minute later, Fang Yu was brutally beaten by Ji Yan for stepping into the toilet with his left foot first.
Fang Yu's dream of traveling ultimately didn't come true. He only complained a little, but while everyone else was busy preparing for the new album, he wouldn't allow himself to fall behind.
However, none of them completely relaxed.
When the weather is nice on weekends, they would drive to the nearby mountains for a hike or go to the zoo to see the pandas. Ji Yan not only went to see the pandas, but also bought panda-themed merchandise. He sent a set to the "Blue" studio because Ning Wei was sending him more and more gifts, and Ji Yan had to prepare a fairly spacious corner to store them.
Ji Yan was extremely disliked by his teammates for taking too many photos with pandas. The main reason was that not only was Ji Yan's photography skill bad, but he also complained about how bad the photos looked when others took them for him.
Fang Yu couldn't help but kick his butt: "If you say one more word, I won't let you take any more pictures!"
"No peace signs allowed."
This is also something Fang Yu really wants to complain about. Is there no other pose for taking photos besides the peace sign? Ji Yan's peace sign is so frequent that Fang Yu suspects he's a crab reincarnated.
Even more outrageous, Ji Yan not only took photos with pandas, but he also had to take two photos of any furry animal. However, he was terrible at taking pictures and in the end, Fang Yu and the others had to help him.
Fang Yu, unable to bear it any longer, posted Ji Yan's misdeeds on Weibo.
"Hahahaha! Has the person who can cure heavy rain finally appeared?"
"The Wings Group is amazing because they have Teacher Ji!"
"Teacher Ji's smile is like that of the neighbor's idiot. Is he really that happy to see a panda?"
"A panda-themed photo taken with Teacher Ji. I feel sorry for the members of the Wings Group who can only act as photographers, hahahahaha."
