The number one playboy on the Peninsula!

Chapter 138 "VVS" "Pretend to be happy"

After coming out of Twice's practice room, Gong Cheng came to his own composition room.

Under Kim Dae-woo's careful arrangement, this small composing room has many photos of him placed on the table, including those when he just debuted, on the stage for music promotions, and when he won the Male Newcomer Award on MBC... Every moment was recorded by the staff arranged by the company with the camera, framed and placed in various locations in the composing room.

It seems that this composing room has become more cozy and meaningful.

Jin Dae-woo once complained that if the space in the composing studio was not too small, he would have liked to put all the trophies he had won or the Melon Awards trophies there, saying that he hoped that Gong Cheng would be more inspired and motivated by seeing these trophies.

After chuckling twice, Gong Cheng sat on the sofa, thinking about some work matters that Jin Daewoo had talked about with him last night, as well as the content of his conversations with the members.

On January 19th, at the Seoul Music Awards, Bombardment Meteor not only performed a rocking version of "Fake Love" on stage, but was also invited by the organizers of the Seoul Music Awards to perform a special stage.

Initially, the company wanted him to perform "Kai" which he had performed at the KBS Song Festival not long ago, but he rejected the idea. After discussing with the members last night, Gong Cheng decided to make a feature song and take it to the special stage.

According to Bombardment Meteor's subsequent plan, the day after the Seoul Music Awards, the members will start a live broadcast to announce whether the group will stay or go. But when thinking about their previous marketing plans, fans will probably be even more worried after the live broadcast, right?
With his thoughts wandering, Gong Cheng typed the song title "VVS" on the document in his notebook.

VVS stands for Very Very Slightly Included, a clarity grading standard for top-tier diamonds. VVS isn't the highest clarity grade on the diamond scale, with FL being the grade above it. However, Gong Cheng's idea was that the song's title, VVS, and the upcoming lyrics, "VVS," translated from the Korean phrase "veni vidi superavi," meaning "I came, I saw, I finally won," could also be a metaphor for Julius Caesar's "veni vidi vici," meaning "I came, I saw, I conquered."

'I came, I saw, and I finally won' is his most powerful response to those who looked down on him in the past year, and 'veni vidi vici' and 'I came, I saw, I conquered' are a small easter egg for fans, which can be regarded as a preview.

Because according to his expectation, this song will be sung by all members together, and the overall style and style tends to be passionate, sad, and against the current. If you don't have the heart to conquer the world, how can you shout "veni vidi vici" and "I come, I see, I conquer"?
I just don’t know if the fans will notice?
“…vvs…vvs”

“Everyone looked at me in surprise~”

"Tarot is on TV~"

"A big star came out of Yeongdeungpo~"

"Let's dance with the angry past~"

"..."

After finishing his own verse, Gong Cheng sent the roughly finished arrangement and lyrics to the members of Bombardment Meteor, asking them to fill in their own verse parts according to the composition. If there were any inappropriate parts, he would also help to modify them.

But it is probably not necessary. After all, there are two rapper stars in the group, including himself and Park Jae-bum, and Zhang Yixing's recently released solo album is also selling very well. Except for the arrangement of the pre-release song and the main song, which was done by Gong Cheng, the rest of the lyrics were written by this guy himself, and Lin Yingxiong's production level is also good.

Looking at the title of "VVS," Gong Cheng wondered if he could find a female vocalist to feature on it. The four-person verse plus the hook would make the song long, roughly four or five minutes long. A female vocalist could help balance the song's atmosphere with a verse.

Gong Cheng did what he said. He picked up his phone and took the elevator directly to Park Jin Young's office.

"Jinyoung, I want to work with Chaeyoung on the Seoul Music Festival stage."

He stated his purpose directly. After some thought, Gong Cheng concluded that whether it was a matter of keeping the wealth within the family or something else, Little Tiger's role within Twice was as the lead rapper, and she had the rapping skills. As for Tofu? Forget it. A lead rapper and her voice weren't suitable for this song.

The song "VVS" is actually more rocking in style, and can be well connected with the rocking vibe version of "Fake Love" that will be performed later.

"Chaeyoung?" Park Jinyoung looked at the lyrics and arrangement sent by Gong Sung in surprise, thought for a moment, and then replied, "If it's just a collaboration performance, no problem."

He folded his hands beneath his muscular face, looking pensive.

Son Chaeyoung is in the lower popularity circle in Twice. Although the company has no intention of promoting her, Park Jinyoung wants to take this opportunity to see how influential Bombardment Meteor is.
Besides, it's just a feat, so it won't have any impact on Twice and Chaeyoung. After all, they are seniors and juniors from the same company, so it's easy for them to collaborate on a stage. And after Gong Cheng carefully looked at the song "VVS" he wrote, he found that it matched Chaeyoung's style quite well.

"OK." Gong Cheng nodded and talked with Park Jin Young about other work.

……

"I pretended to be happy again, pretended to be very happy~"

"Pretend to be very happy~"

"..."

Gong Cheng returned to the composing room again, listening to the soothing R&B melody in his headphones and humming softly.

The last time Park Jin-young mentioned Bae Suzy's solo, he took some time to work out the arrangement and is now in the lyrics writing stage.

On the one hand, it is because I can earn some copyright fees, and on the other hand, I also want to quickly make this sister's song. After the Seoul Grand Prix, I will start making my own new album. By then, I will not have time to write songs for others.

As for the bet he told Bae Suzy about, which was to match him up with Ming Jingnan, it was just said casually and he didn't take it seriously.

"When I think of you~When I miss you~"

"..."

The style of R&B and Urben is combined with a soothing rhythm and melody. The overall arrangement gives people a lazy and slightly sad tone. Gong Cheng feels that with the voice of Bae Suzy, the recording effect should be very good.

This sister’s singing skills are pretty good, and her voice is gentle and infectious, which can render the lonely and confused atmosphere of the song.

"dudu~"

Gong Cheng picked up his phone and looked at the message sent by his sister Bae Suzy, feeling a little confused.

"Go downstairs!"

"..."

……

The cafe under the JYP building.

In the box, Bae Suzy put on the national first love face, biting the straw and saying some sweet words to Ming Jingnan.

Mingjing Nan took a sip of coffee and glanced at her, wondering if this senior was idle. How long had he been sitting here with her?
What are you hiding? Isn't it just that you like Gong Cheng?
Bae Suzy was anxious! Gong Cheng had been pushing and pulling with her for a long time over a song! Especially since the recent "Stay With Me," the OST he and his good friend Lee Ji-eun collaborated on from "Goblin," was a huge hit.

She became even more anxious!
After Bae Suzy's contact and observation with Ming Jingnan during this period, she found that this junior did not show any interest in Gong Cheng at all, and it seemed that she didn't even know that the boy liked her?

She was really at her wit's end last night, so she came up with a sinister trick.

Since I can't bring you two together, I can at least add fuel to the fire and speed up your relationship, right?

Seeing the incoming call from Gong Cheng on her phone, Bae Suzy guessed that the boy had arrived. She smiled at Ming Jingnan and said, "Mina, wait for me for a moment."

As she said that, she walked out of the box and closed the door gently, leaving a small gap.

"I see you, Xiao Cheng, go up to the second floor."

Bae Suzy continued the call and waved to Gong Cheng who was looking out from the first floor.

When Gong Cheng walked up the stairs and came to her, she glanced around and saw that there was no one around. She smiled and asked, "Do you really like Mina?"

"Do you still remember this?" Gong Cheng leaned on the railing in confusion. Won't this sister treat him to a cup of coffee?
"Of course, I'll do my best to help you with your problem!" Bae Suzy patted her chest and grinned innocently, looking unreliable.

"Don't you want to find a private room to chat?"

"Tell me first, do you like Mina?"

Gong Cheng glanced at her unhappily, then thought about the song he had already produced, "Pretend to be Happy." Since there was no rush, he teased the senior: "Hey, didn't you know this a long time ago?"

……

"Why, do you want to report the progress to me?"

Ming Jingnan, who was sitting in the box playing with his mobile phone, suddenly froze when he heard the familiar voice outside the box.

"Anyway, I just like Mina..."

Gong Cheng and Suzy seniors?
Recalling Bae Suzy's unusual behavior in looking for him during this period, Ming Jingnan suddenly figured it out. Could it be that Suzy mentioned Gong Cheng in front of him intentionally or unintentionally not because she liked him?

But is it because Gong Cheng likes me?

Then she recalled that a few months ago, in this coffee shop, she hurriedly passed by and heard the conversation between Gong Cheng and Jackson.

She said the words "I like Mingjing Nan, I like Mingjing Nan..." more than once. Mingjing Nan's face instantly turned red.

"Really?"

"Not really, do I like you, Suzy?"

"What does it have to do with me!" Bae Suzy's unpleasant words had just fallen outside the door when the door of the private room in front of Ming Jingnan was pushed open.

Ming Jingnan looked at the two figures outside the box and immediately shrank back in fear. Their fair skin and the pink flush spreading across their necks.

"You guys chat, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. I've already bought the bill." Bae Suzy picked up her shoulder bag on the sofa in the box and winked at the young man next to her: "Huai Ting~"

"..."

Gong Cheng's face twitched. Is this your way of matchmaking?
How rude and direct!
He wished he could strip the nation's first love naked, whip her severely, and educate her!
"Hehe, good afternoon, Mina." Gong Cheng adjusted his expression. He has many other advantages, but his only disadvantage is that he is thick-skinned.

So he quickly adjusted his mood, closed the box door as if nothing had happened, and sat opposite Ming Jingnan.

Explanation?

He would not explain! Seeing Ming Jingnan's shy cheek, if he told her loudly, "Mina, I was just joking, I don't like you~"

How sad would that be for the girl?
This is also one of his strengths. He would never do anything to make a girl sad.

Besides, he really liked Ming Jingnan... This little penguin was quite nice, giving him a gift. Maybe it was because of her experience in ballet that made this girl with a soft voice look very elegant.

Perhaps the cold face at this moment is like a mimosa, which turns pink when touched, revealing a charming and elegant temperament?

Gong Cheng really likes this kind of contrasting personality, just like the beautiful girls in the yellow illustrated books that he worked so hard to clear...

"Why aren't you talking?"

Gong Cheng touched his hot face and felt that his skin was still a little thin.

"..."

Mingjing Nan took a few deep breaths and calmed down a bit. She raised her eyelids and looked at the cynical bastard across from her. How could he say something about liking someone so casually and without restraint?

She didn't know what to say.

"How about we play some online games?"

Gong Cheng touched the tip of his nose awkwardly and shook his phone.

"..."

Mingjing Nan looked at him silently, his eyes fixed.

"Shall we go back to the company?"

Gong Cheng twisted his body a little unnaturally. Why did Ming Jingnan act like a little mute?

Hearing this, Ming Jingnan nodded, stood up, put on his hat and mask, and followed Gong Cheng.

Standing in the company's elevator, her petite figure stood behind Gong Cheng, looking at the back in front of her.

Perhaps, she understood him better than Gong Cheng thought.

If one has to choose a label for Gong Cheng, then Ming Jingnan thinks that he is a complete scumbag!
Ever since Gong Cheng said he loved her in the coffee shop, she had observed Gong Cheng's various behaviors in Twice. This oppa not only liked her, but also Sana-chan and Nayeon-unnie...

Najing Nan was very suspicious. Did this oppa treat Twice as a clearing guide for his games? As soon as he unlocked this beautiful girl, he would rush to the next level, and he would continue to beat the next level endlessly... So she was very suspicious. Was this person's love for her, Sana, and other members genuine?
To put it simply, she discovered that this guy had a bit of a stamp collecting and foot fetish, and more was yet to be investigated.

If she didn't know all this at the beginning, based on Gong Cheng's looks and personality, Ming Jingnan might not have thought that they would really start dating at the right time after their relationship had matured. But when she discovered the labels on this oppa and uncovered them layer by layer like a puzzle game, she suddenly felt that observing this oppa was more interesting than being with him.

Fortunately, Gong Cheng in the elevator didn't know any of this and was yawning out of boredom. Otherwise, he would have told the little penguin with a smile, "When you stare into the abyss, the abyss also stares back at you..."

Gong Cheng didn't feel anything about Ming Jingnan's silence. Girls are thin-skinned after all! It's understandable.

Anyway, there are still many days to come.

"I understand. Don't tell anyone else." The elevator door opened, and Ming Jingnan suddenly pulled Gong Cheng's wrist and said in a low voice with a red face.

"?" Gong Cheng helped her straighten the crooked hood of her sweatshirt in confusion, not quite hearing what the little penguin said.
"I mean, I know you like me." Mingjing Nan's face flushed and he raised his voice a little: "But don't tell anyone else in the future."

"Let's talk about it later. Don't you say that if you like someone, you should be bold and say it out loud? If you don't agree to me, I'll wait until I have a concert at Coachella or something and tell the world that I like Mingjing Minami, how about that?" Gong Cheng smiled and walked side by side with her, joking.

Ming Jingnan couldn't help but roll her eyes at him, then said, "Okay, we'll start dating when that day comes."

Is it possible? Such a thing?
After saying that, she trotted back to Twice's practice room.

Gong Cheng smiled. Who can predict what will happen in the future?
He then followed her into the practice room, said hello to Nayeon, Sana Minatozaki and others, and walked straight to the little tiger who was curled up on the sofa and yawning.

"Chaeyoung, do you want to do a song together?"

Gong Cheng's voice was neither loud nor soft. Everyone in Twice's practice room was playing with their phones at the moment. After hearing this, the members looked straight at Gong Cheng, who had a smile on his face.

"What are you talking about, Oppa?" Sun Chaeyoung covered her mouth and yawned, looking very sleepy and a little unresponsive.

"Collaboration? Release a single with our Bombardment MeteorFeat, and then perform a special performance together at the Seoul Music Awards in two days." Gong Cheng patted the little tiger's head with a smile.

It should be very happy, right?

Sun Caiying rubbed her eyes, then suddenly jumped up from the sofa and jumped onto Gong Cheng's back: "What did you say, Oppa? Cooperation?"

"Ahem~" Gong Cheng patted Son Chaeyoung's arm. The little tiger is very light, but it would not be a good influence with so many members around.

"We have a hip-hop single coming out after your performance at the Seoul Music Awards. Isn't your rap pretty good, Chaeyoung?"

As he said that, Gong Cheng winked at him.

"Can you show me the lyrics and music, Oppa?" Son Chaeyoung's eyes sparkled, and she smiled and gave him a subtle look.

She's decided! Tonight, they'll raid the secret base!
I was a little scared by this oppa last time, but now I love Gong Cheng oppa so much!

"Of course, I'll send it to you later. I've already told Brother Zhenying that if we need to record in the next two days, call me." Gong Cheng rubbed her head lovingly. If she were to perform on stage, how about getting a tiger-like electric guitar look? There were also electric guitar samples in the arrangement he made. It would be a good match, right?

The atmosphere in Twice's practice room was a little silent.

Kim Dahyun glanced at the intimate actions between the oppa and Son Chaeyoung. Others may not know, but doesn’t she know?

How is this different from flirting in public?
Besides, my rap is pretty good too, okay? Twice doesn't just have one rapper!

Son Chaeyoung looked at the lyrics and music sent by Gong Cheng excitedly: "What does VVS mean, Oppa?"

"Top Diamond." Gong Cheng explained with a smile: "You can also fill in a verse of your own, just fill it in casually, and I will modify it according to the situation later."

Lin Nayeon curled her lips and asked, "Why don't you ask me to work with you?"

I was obviously here first! When they first released their solo album, they asked me to record the hook!

Park Ji-hyo and Yoo Jeong-yeon, who were in the corner, were looking at Chae-young and considering something more realistic. With this oppa's current popularity and the traffic of Bombardment Meteor, if he collaborates with Chae-young, Twice's popularity may change.

Without saying too much, from what that oppa said, this song is pure hip-hop style. In addition, with the number of fans of this oppa and senior Park Jae-bum in the South Korean black bubble circle, it is estimated that this song will bring a large number of fans and popularity to the little tiger.

For a moment, many members of Twice cast envious glances. Not to mention whether the style of music is suitable for them, they still trust the songs produced by this oppa.

TT is the best example...

I'm asking for monthly votes, guys. I've been up 10,000 views a day for 23 days straight, but yesterday I was stuck and had to update 7000 views. It feels a bit of a shame, guys. I was supposed to get the homepage badge by doing 10,000 views a day for 30 days, but that's broken. There's nothing I can do about it, after all, I'm stuck. Today I'm up 10,000 views a day again, so I'm asking for some monthly votes, guys. If you have ideas, please recommend a few songs so I can listen to them.
