Chapter 47

No one in the entire LOEN company could understand why Yinxian was so excited and danced around when he received the invitation from CCTV relayed by the company.

"All I want is to be on the Spring Festival Gala!" This was the only voice in Yinxian's mind at that moment.

When Yinxian, with a rather mischievous attitude, praised the CCTV Spring Festival Gala in perfect Beijing dialect in front of the chief director, the entire director team was petrified.

When Girls' Generation achieved a three-peat on Music Bank, Yinxian was sitting at a street stall in a military overcoat, eating stewed offal...

Then, on the evening of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Yinxian entered the homes of millions of Chinese people with a song "Beijing, Beijing" and a dance "Gangnam Style."

Yinxian finally successfully stood on the two largest stages in the world: the Grammy Awards in the United States and the Spring Festival Gala in China.

When Yinxian returned to Seoul after a low-key holiday in China, Girls' Generation had already achieved a six-peat on Music Bank, approaching Jewelry's record of seven consecutive wins. It seemed very likely that they would break the record. As for whether they could achieve the goal of each member winning a trophy, that would depend on luck...

Upon returning from China, Yinxian immediately threw himself into the production of IU's new album.

After looking at the songs collected by Kim Soo-yeon, Yinxian threw them all back to her and dug out five songs from a pile of papers in his bedroom.

This made Kim Soo-yeon so angry that she kicked Yinxian's butt hard.

"Why didn't you say you had songs earlier!"

However, Yinxian didn't mind Kim Soo-yeon's anger. He just didn't expect the quality of the songs she received to be so low... Well, it wasn't that he was overly confident. The high frequency of writing a song almost every day for more than half a year, some memories from his previous life, plus... a bit of talent? Now, Yinxian's songwriting skills were indeed far superior to many songwriters.

In the following two months, Yinxian returned to the routine of recording Infinite Challenge when he had nothing to do, and then recording IU's album.

Girls' Generation's "GEE" finally came to an end after a nine-peat. Yinxian, as the special MC of that episode, personally handed the ninth trophy to the only member, Kim Tae-yeon, who was still empty-handed.

The nine girls cried together on stage.

Yinxian comforted each of the girls one by one.

Just as the PD thought that an encore performance was almost impossible and was about to end the live broadcast, something that shocked the entire audience happened.

Starting with Hyeon, in order of age from youngest to oldest, the nine girls each kissed Yinxian on the cheek.

Yinxian, who was in a daze, just stood there...

And this scene was broadcast live on KBS...

That night, Yinxian instantly gained over 200,000 anti-fans... If Yinxian's café hadn't long ago stopped accepting new members, it would have been bombed to nothing by the 200,000 enraged Sone fans of Girls' Generation.

However, inside the café, which outsiders couldn't see, there was a harmonious atmosphere. The fans, who were already accustomed to Yinxian's three rules, were more hopeful than resistant about Yinxian's romantic relationship. They were now enthusiastically discussing which member of Girls' Generation was Yinxian's girlfriend, and whether the others were just covering up...

Or did Yinxian simply start a harem at S.M.?

That night, Yinxian's café was filled with various CP stories, harem stories, and heart-wrenching stories...

Yinxian? He was now enduring IU's resentful little eyes at home...

But Yinxian's mood was so high that he felt like flying!

Kissed by Girls' Generation!

And it was live on KBS!

And all nine of them at once!

Even Lee Soo-man didn't get this treatment! Now, he was the winner of life!

However, in front of IU's little eyes, Yinxian didn't dare to be too happy and could only barely suppress his laughter, explaining that he didn't know why this happened.

"OPPA must have some kind of relationship with them, which is why he delayed my album by four months." IU kept repeating this.

Yinxian's defense was very weak...

So, helplessly, he decided to prove his innocence with action.

The next day, the recording of IU's new album officially began.

"Listen to how I sing it first, then find the feeling, and then sing it according to your understanding." Yinxian calmly directed IU.

"Okay, OPPA." IU was always particularly obedient when Yinxian was working.

Then Yinxian entered the recording studio and sang the song he wrote in his own way.

"OPPA, it feels so strange." IU, after finishing her singing, came out of the recording room and sat down, expressing her thoughts.

"How strange?" Yinxian remained calm.

"Sorry, OPPA!" IU thought Yinxian was angry and quickly bowed to apologize.

"Say what you think. I'm your teacher, not your father." Yinxian waved his hand.

"It just feels completely different from when I wrote the song." IU thought for a moment and said uncertainly.

"What state did you think you would be in when you sang this song?" Yinxian thought for a moment and then started making changes to the already transcribed sheet music.

"A bit excited, a bit expectant, a bit shy, but very determined." IU thought for a moment and said seriously.

Yinxian thought for a moment, nodded, and started making changes to the sheet music. The song he wrote was a bit slow, so it needed to be a bit faster...

A short while later, the sheet music was revised, and then the changes were made in the music production software.

After about half an hour, the revisions were completed.

"Go and sing it." Yinxian stretched his neck, which was a bit tired from being too focused. "Sing it the way you want."

"Okay, OPPA." IU entered the recording room.

A while later, the entire song was finished.

"How does it feel? Is it smooth?" Yinxian smiled at the little girl coming out of the recording room.

"Very good! Thank you, OPPA, for the song!" IU was very excited.

"Okay, since you approve, I'll start working on the details. To be honest, IU, although I've been training you for almost two years, your breathing doesn't seem to have improved much. Why were you still panting when you sang just now?" Yinxian nodded and immediately switched to his producer role.

"Maybe I was a bit nervous just now." IU explained.

"Do you need a break? If not, let's do it again right away."

"No, I'll do it now."

Then IU immediately returned to the recording room.

Because Yinxian didn't respond to the kiss incident at Music Bank, and S.M. Entertainment didn't make any official statement about it, and any member of Girls' Generation refused to answer when interviewed, what was originally a simple act of gratitude turned into a mysterious rumor machine.

Because there were many pre-recorded episodes of Infinite Challenge, Yinxian didn't need to record for nearly a month, so he spent almost a month in the studio.

He completed the recording of IU's album in one go.

Just as Yinxian was about to start shooting the MV, he received a call from Liu Zaishi.

"Yinxian!"

"Zaishi-ssi!"

"What have you been up to lately?"

"Me? I'm working on an album for my student IU. What's up? Do you need to shoot some additional scenes for Infinite Challenge?"

"Hey, I need to scold you. You promised me last year before the start of Family Outing that you would come and participate, but it's almost been a year and I haven't seen you. The PD of the show said he couldn't contact you, so he asked me to call and beg you to come and participate!"

"Zaishi-ssi! Don't say that! I just forgot because I was busy! Okay, I'll come to the recording this time! What time? Where?"

"The time and place will be notified separately. I'll give your business phone number to our PD, and he will contact you. He will shoot a scene of you receiving the call before you leave. Are you free now?"

"Just have them come to the recording studio on the third floor of LOEN." Yinxian agreed straightforwardly.

"Okay, I'll remember this favor."

"Hey, Zaishi-ssi, don't say that. I'm really sorry for keeping you waiting for so long. See you at the recording!"

"See you then."

Then Yinxian started revising the script for the MV he wrote.

When the Family Outing production team arrived, Yinxian had just finalized the script for the main song's MV.

After greeting the PD and the cameraman, they quickly entered the shooting state.

Seeing the obviously higher work efficiency of this team compared to Infinite Challenge, Yinxian suddenly had a thought: private companies are indeed more efficient than state-owned enterprises...

The scene to be shot was Yinxian receiving the notification call.

"Hello, family members, this is Liu Zaishi. Please arrive at Gasong Village, Andong, Gyeongbuk, by 10 AM this Wednesday for the family activity."

"Um... Liu Zaishi-ssi, how do I get there..."

Before Yinxian could finish his sentence, the call was hung up.

So Yinxian angrily called back.

"Yinxian-ssi, is there something wrong?" Liu Zaishi was a bit stunned, not expecting Yinxian to call back.

"Nothing, just wanted to hang up on you." Then Yinxian hung up on Liu Zaishi...

The production team was completely flustered...

After confirming the specific destination, the production team left Yinxian's recording studio.

The entire recording process lasted less than half an hour.

"If Infinite Challenge could be this efficient every time, it would be great!" Yinxian thought a bit regretfully.

Then, Yinxian called the director he knew best, Lee Yoon-jeong.

"Yinxian! What's up?"

"Director Lee, I have a younger sister, who is also my student, and she's about to release her first album. She needs to shoot two MVs, and I want to ask you to help direct one of them." Yinxian explained his idea.

"MV... I haven't shot one in a while. What's the theme?" Lee Yoon-jeong asked curiously.

"I'll send you the song and lyrics. I want to shoot it in a way similar to a short film. I plan to try directing the other one myself, but I'm not very confident it will succeed, so I'm asking for your help to ensure at least one of the two MVs is successful..." Yinxian was almost on his knees begging Lee Yoon-jeong.

"Okay! Since you've asked me like this." Lee Yoon-jeong laughed, and she was also looking forward to the MV Yinxian would direct.

"Then I'll have my company send the demo and contract to your company. Thank you very much!" Yinxian said gratefully.

"By the way, I'm about to start shooting a drama. Do you want to try acting in it?" Lee Yoon-jeong asked.

"Um... I'm not really interested in acting right now. Sorry, Director." Yinxian thought for a moment and declined.

"If you don't want to, that's fine. I've already found the actors, haha." Lee Yoon-jeong laughed.

Yinxian felt a bit awkward and thanked Lee Yoon-jeong again before hanging up.

Then, he asked Kim Soo-yeon to take the demo of IU's second main song to Lee Yoon-jeong for her to listen to and write the script.

"The company seems to have only given IU a budget for one MV." Kim Soo-yeon said worriedly.

"Don't worry, I'll shoot this one and pay for it myself. It's my way of making up for not being able to write a debut song for her." Yinxian waved his hand to cut off Kim Soo-yeon's worries.

However, Yinxian's MV would have to wait until he returned from Family Outing.

Yinxian, who had already categorized Family Outing as a torture show like 2 Days & 1 Night, spent the day before the shoot lying in bed...
