Peninsula: It’s just a dream, are you serious?

Chapter 552 This is the difference between Nishimiya and Xiao Ba (Seeking double monthly votes!)

October 9th, morning, JYP Company.

Pushing open the office door, Chen Yan looked at his phone with a smile as he slowly walked to his desk and sat down.

On his phone, Lee Ji-eun, who has officially started her comeback, was chatting with him.

The girl got up at 3 a.m. to go to the beauty salon for makeup and is now on her way to her first event of the day.

Chen Yan had arranged to visit her on set in a few days. Looking at their chat interface, he couldn't help but think of the orange light from the night before last.

The triple surprise that night left a deep impression on him, and he couldn't control himself for a while, pulling Lee Ji-eun to experience it for a long time.

As a result, three of the six pairs of stockings the girl bought were ruined.

This was only after Lee Ji-eun couldn't take it anymore and begged for mercy, and she also had a schedule to attend the next morning.

Otherwise, it would be a certainty that all six pairs of stockings would be ruined.

Reflecting on the experience of that night, Chen Yan smiled, then put down his phone and turned on his computer.

He first checked out Melon's official website.

On both the real-time and daily charts, Lee Ji-eun's "Pink High Heels" prominently occupies the top spot.

The song's current performance is not just good, it's a huge hit.

Just hours after its release at midnight on October 8th, "Pink High Heels" effortlessly topped the real-time charts on ten major music streaming sites, including Melon, Genie, and Bugs, achieving a real-time all-kill.

On the daily charts of the top ten music streaming websites, which were updated around noon yesterday, "Pink High Heels" once again topped all the daily charts, achieving an all-kill on the daily charts.

Meanwhile, yesterday was also Monday, the day when the ichart weekly chart was updated.

ichart is a comprehensive music chart from Peninsula, which generates an overall ranking by aggregating chart data from music streaming sites such as Melon, Genie, and Bugs.

On yesterday's updated ichart weekly chart, "Pink High Heels" also took the number one spot.

This also means that "Pink High Heels" achieved a perfect all-kill in less than a day after its release.

This means that a song reached number one on the real-time and daily charts of ten major music streaming sites, including Melon, Genie, and Bugs, and also reached number one on the real-time and weekly charts of Icharts.

Getting a perfect kill is very difficult; even Girls' Generation has never had a song achieve this.

Without a doubt, IU's "Pink High Heels" has been dominating various music charts.

Seeing this impressive result, the entertainment companies that have the most to complain about are those whose artists' comeback dates coincide with Lee Ji-eun's.

With Lee Ji-eun (IU) causing such a "sound chart fog," it seems their artists' comeback is going to be a complete waste.

They were actually taking a gamble, betting that Lee Ji-eun's first self-written, self-composed, and self-arranged song would fail to meet public expectations and cause a decline in her reputation.

Then, if they work hard behind the scenes, the artists under their management who are returning can indirectly gain more attention and attract a huge wave of popularity because of this.

The entertainment industry is a sparsely populated market. If you're no longer capable, then my people will take your place.

But now the results are in front of them: "Pink High Heels" has topped the charts, the song is of excellent quality, and it is receiving continuous praise from the public.

And it's not just Lee Ji-eun; there's another point that's frustrating these companies.

So, why is it Chen Yan again?

Although the song "Pink High Heels" was not Chen Yan's own work, it was completed under his guidance.

Li Zhi'en is also Chen Yan's only known student, and he taught her personally.

Asi!

Since the end of June, nothing good has ever happened since I ran into this guy; I'll have to avoid him from now on.

At this point, some executives at entertainment companies whose artists were scheduled to return in November were already considering whether to postpone their return.

miss A will be making a comeback in early November, and the album and title track were both produced by Chen Yan herself.

Judging from the current momentum, we cannot defeat them.

Chen Yan was unaware that the executives of those entertainment companies had already begun to avoid him. After looking at the music charts for a while, he closed the Melon website and opened a document on his desktop.

This is the script for "My Love from the Star".

He has finished writing "Some" for Bae Suzy and is now preparing to start working on the OST for "My Love from the Star".

The drama "My Love from the Star" tells the story of Do Min-joon, who came from outer space to the Joseon era. After living on the peninsula for 400 years, he meets Cheon Song-yi, a top national actress. The two from different planets overcome misunderstandings and dangers to pursue true love in a romantic love story.

Chen Yan is actually quite interested in this kind of romance drama with some superpower elements.

"Adu"

A moment later, a message notification sound suddenly rang out, drawing Chen Yan's attention back from the script of the first few episodes of "My Love from the Star" that he was engrossed in reading.

I picked up my phone; it was a message from Krystal Jung, that little iceberg—no, that little volcano.

Since that day at the Western restaurant, the girl's clinginess has increased dramatically; she sends him messages almost every time she has free time.

The little iceberg is gone forever.

However, Chen Yan didn't dislike her change; on the contrary, he thought the girl was even cuter than before.

Clingy Little Iceberg: What are you doing?
Chen Yan replied to the message with a smile: I'm looking at the script and story outline of "My Love from the Star" and preparing to write the OST.

Clingy Little Iceberg: Oh, I called you to say that "The Heirs" premieres tonight, and you need to contribute to the ratings. That's all, you can continue with your work.

Chen Yan blinked: What kind of reward will I get if I contribute to the viewership ratings?

Clingy Little Iceberg: [Cleaver Dripping Blood]

Clingy Little Iceberg: This is a drama starring Yoona unnie and me. You're contributing to the ratings, and you still want a reward?
Chen Yan chuckled: So what? Contributing to the ratings is indeed what I should do, but that doesn't stop me from asking you for a reward. We're a couple, you know.

On the other end of the phone, at a high school in Gyeonggi Province, on the set of "The Heirs".

While resting in a chair and waiting for her turn, Krystal Jung looked at Chen Yan's reply on her phone screen, especially the last few words, "We're a couple."
She couldn't help but purse her lips, her eyebrows curving slightly, and she couldn't help but feel a little excited.

They're a couple.
Hmph, you bastard, you know how to talk. Since that's the case...
Krystal Jung: So what kind of reward do you want?
A few seconds later, Chen Yan's reply appeared in the chat interface: Xiujing, it's autumn now. To keep you warm, why don't you wear black stockings next time we meet? That way you'll stay warm.

A blush instantly spread across the girl's fair face, and she secretly cursed inwardly.

Pah! You bastard!

You did that to keep me warm, and with those black stockings? Dream on.

Krystal Jung couldn't help but glance at her own fair and shapely legs, which were clad in a school uniform skirt.

Last time at the Western restaurant, this bastard touched my bare legs and left red marks.

If she wore black stockings...
Then Chen Yan probably touched the balls of the black-stockinged girl right away.

"Cut! That's a good take. Minho and Yoona, take a break. Woobin and Jiwon, get ready for the next round."

Not far away, director Kang Shin-hyo's voice suddenly rang out.

Jung Soo-jung snapped out of her daze and saw the beautiful figure bowing and thanking the director. She quickly lowered her head to reply to the message.

Krystal Jung: I'm not talking to you anymore, I have to go film.

Yoona unnie is coming back, we can't talk anymore.

When she chatted with Chen Yan in front of Yoona, she always felt inexplicably guilty and scared, as if she were provoking the main heroine.

After sending the message, she immediately logged out of Kakao, put away her phone, and greeted Yoona with a smile as she watched her walk over.

"Yoona unnie~"

"Hmm~"

Yoona smiled and responded, then sat down next to Krystal Jung, picked up the water glass next to her, and took a sip of water.

He put down his water glass, then turned to look at Krystal Jung and asked casually, "Krystal, what were you doing just now?" "Oh, I was just scrolling through my phone for a bit, checking the trending charts and stuff. IU's new song is doing really well."

"Oh, I saw that this morning too. The results are indeed very good."

The two chatted for a few more minutes, and then, remembering her conversation with Chen Yan, Jung Soo-jung asked:
"Unnie, it's the drama premiere tonight. Did you get Chen Yan to contribute to the ratings?"

Yoona blinked and said casually, "It's okay, no need to say anything, he knows what he's doing."

"Oh"

Seeing the unnie's composed smile, Jung Soo-jung responded blankly.

Tsk, that's the difference between Nishimiya and Hachi.

I wonder if Yoona ever wore black stockings in front of Chen Yan.

Speaking of black stockings, I need to choose carefully when I get home tonight; there's a certain art to it.

I wonder if Sulli has any experience with this. Although it's inconvenient for her to ask Yoona unnie, Sulli could definitely ask. Maybe she should ask her when she gets home tonight.

In the office, Chen Yan smiled after seeing Jung Soo-jung's reply, but didn't reply again.

He knew that the little volcano had tacitly agreed and was probably already thinking about choosing stockings.

Wow, Krystal's legs are amazing too.

After thinking for a while, he pulled himself out of his thoughts, turned to the computer screen, and continued reading the script for "My Love from the Star".

After an unknown amount of time, a knock on the door suddenly sounded.

Chen Yan snapped out of his daze: "Go in."

The office door opened, and a smiling middle-aged man walked in, bowing to Chen Yan and saying:
"Hello Director Chen, I am Cho Hyo-jin, the main PD of Running Man. We spoke on the phone yesterday."

"Oh, hello Zhao PD."

Chen Yan immediately stood up to greet him, smiling and inviting him to sit down on the guest sofa.

The other party did call him yesterday afternoon.

He had previously accepted an invitation from the "Running Man" production team to record an episode, and Zhao Xiaozhen came today to discuss some details of the episode with him.

As is customary, regular guests certainly don't need the main PD, Cho Hyo-jin, to personally visit them.

But Chen Yan naturally couldn't follow the usual practice; after all, the other person's status and position were what they were.

His personal visit was not only a sign of respect for Chen Yan, but also to ensure a smoother recording of the program.

He needed to communicate some details with Chen Yan, and also to test the other party's bottom line on the show.

The two sat down facing each other on the guest sofa.

Zhao Xiaozhen glanced at Chen Yan, his eyes flickering.

To be honest, he was pleasantly surprised when he heard that the other party had accepted the invitation to the show.

He originally saw the popularity of IU and Chen Yan's duet at a concert, and after the program team finalized IU's casting, he had a sudden idea and tentatively extended an invitation to Chen Yan.

He didn't have much hope that Chen Yan would agree to this, because the other party had previously rejected invitations from all TV stations.

Unexpectedly, Chen Yan accepted the invitation, and did so just two days after it was sent.

He even suspected that Director Chen and IU were dating.

After thanking Chen Yan and accepting the coffee that Chen Yan's secretary had just brewed, Zhao Xiaozhen exchanged a few pleasantries with Chen Yan.

At this moment, Chen Yan said directly, "PD Zhao, there's no need to be so polite. We can get straight to the point."

Zhao Xiaozhen was slightly taken aback, then smiled and nodded: "Okay."

"Is Director Chen Yan afraid of heights?"

"I'm not afraid of heights."

"Then may I ask if Director Chen can swim?"

"Will do."

"Would Director Chen be willing to try out a loveline with a female guest on the show?"

Nearly half an hour later, after discussing some details of the program, Zhao Xiaozhen thanked Chen Yan:
"Thank you, Director Chen, for taking the time."

His smile was noticeably wider than when he first came in.

Through the conversation just now, he had a general understanding of Chen Yan's personality and knew that the recording of the show would go much more smoothly than he had expected.

Chen Yan replied with a smile, "PD Zhao, you're too kind."

"Then we'll see you again during the show's recording. The recording will take place next Monday. We'll let Director Chen know the exact time via text message in a couple of days."

Zhao Xiaozhen put away his notebook, then suddenly remembered something and looked at Chen Yan with a smile, saying, "Director Chen told us to keep your participation in this episode a secret, and we did keep that a secret from the guests."

"Thank you, PD Zhao."

Chen Yan smiled.

The reason he asked for secrecy was simply because he thought Lee Ji-eun would also be participating in this episode, and he could give that girl a little surprise.

However, speaking of this, he also remembered something.

"PD Zhao, Jin-young told me before that there are other guests on this episode. Can I know who they are?"

Zhao Xiaozhen blinked upon hearing this.

"Director Chen asked us to keep your participation a secret from the guests, so should our program also keep it a secret from you for the time being about which other guests will be participating in the recording?"

Chen Yan paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay, of course, that would be more interesting."

"Then we'll see you again during the show recording. If you have any questions, Director Chen can contact me anytime these days."

"Ok."

After exchanging contact information with Chen Yan, Zhao Xiaozhen left the office.

After walking a short distance, a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

This Director Chen is quite interesting; he's already looking forward to next Monday's recording.

To cherish the unexpected joy of Chen Yan agreeing to participate in the show, Zhao Xiaozhen held several days of meetings with the other PDs and writers on the show before finally coming up with a good plan.

This time, he invited almost all the artists who had worked with Chen Yan.

Time flew by and it was around six o'clock in the afternoon when Chen Yan got off work and returned home.

After resting on the sofa for a while, he got up and went to the kitchen.

He was alone that evening, so he planned to make some noodles for dinner.

"Didi"

Just as he started working in the kitchen, a password input sound suddenly rang out at the front door.

Two seconds later, the door was gently opened, and a tall figure tiptoed in.

After changing into slippers, I tiptoed to the entrance and listened carefully to the sounds inside the house.

Upon hearing the sounds coming from the kitchen, the figure couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

Then he bent down and stealthily crept towards the kitchen.
