[Korean Entertainment] The years between me and Mr. G

The inexplicable cooperation started like this. It was more than May at that time. Xilin was wearing a light-colored shirt and sitting at the table in the crooked chicken cafeteria, covering his mouth and sneezing several times. It was too easy to catch a cold in such weather. Vivi caught a cold and infected more than half of the people in the studio, as fast as onychomycosis.

And because the head office cooperated with them, in order to speed up the work process, she and several seniors in the studio were transferred to their company and directly stationed in the YG design department.Wait until this order is successfully concluded before leaving.If she wants to take another step towards the person in charge, then she must obey the arrangement.

In fact, it is much more free here than in the studio, but every day when you leave, you have to say hello to this place before leaving. The relaxed feeling of being in the studio is completely gone, and the imagination will be lost immediately when the feeling is gone. The work efficiency is naturally low.In the end, they chose to communicate with YG, only Xilin and CC were left, they were responsible for conveying the company's opinions and their own ideas, and the others returned to the studio to be responsible for the work here.

"During the period of signing the contract with our company, and collaborating with artists from other companies, is this considered a breach of contract?" Someone took a seat in the dining room and put an album on the table.She glanced at it, and it was exo who posted a video some time ago.The album cover was designed by Cillin when she gave it as a personal gift of congratulations.Look at someone who just came back from China, "I gave it to him personally."

"The relationship between our two companies is a little sensitive..." Liquidated damages are not a small amount. The leader of the design team told him about it as soon as he came back today. He was obviously suspicious, but seeing her and Shengli's If the friendship is good, it is hard to say it clearly, and Shengli is not in the company, so I have to find him.Zhilong sighed, "Wouldn't it be better to report before doing it?"

"The album is out, what's the point of saying this?" After taking a sip of miso soup, she put down her chopsticks, "Privately, I don't represent our studio, and we are a cooperation, YG and you are just our partners , not the contractor.”

After speaking, she got up and left.

"Xilin." Quan Zhilong followed her without taking care of the things on the table, "I have no other intentions, just..."

"I'm not curious about what you mean, but I have the right to keep... ah sneeze..." Before finishing speaking, she covered her mouth and sneezed twice Naturally, he didn't want to talk to him anymore when he lost his momentum, so Xilin sniffed and continued to move forward.

When he looked up, he saw Li Shengxian walking towards him in formal attire with unremoved makeup on his face, "Xilin, I have something to say."

"what?"

"I'm about to release a new album, so please help me by the way?"

"What?" Before she could speak, Zhilong behind her was full of doubts.I have been preparing for my second official album since the end, but when Seungri heard the call from the president, he went to the office and released the album as soon as he came back. It's just...

"I'm also going to release a second album, Xilin, help me design it together?"

"I just draw comics... How many things do you think I can design... Your company's design department is used for..." Li Shengxian saw her sneeze, took out a pack of tissues from her bag, opened it and handed it to She said, "A lot of people catch colds during this period, and you will be infected if you don't pay attention."

"It's as if if you pay attention to the ghosts and ghosts, they will go away." Seeing that the time is approaching when the studio goes to work, "I'm going back to the studio in the afternoon, please help me talk to the design department. Your album Let me know if you need me, and I will help.”

Ignoring the person who was still standing behind, she threw the tissue that she had blown her nose into the trash can. When she left the company, it was drizzling, and she quickly got into a taxi and left.

"YG's idea is to design three types of covers for one album, black, white and red." There are only a few in the studio who have access to these relatively confidential events, Xilin is a little tired with his palms on his forehead, "because considering yg and this album The overall style, so it is required to make a more concise style."

"Our studio has been providing ideas all the time, so no one has passed?"

"Yeah, aren't we satisfied with some of the accessories we helped design before? Why are you so sad this time?"

"Accessories are not worn every day, and the album cannot be changed once it is printed. Of course, we must be cautious."

"But if we keep putting our time and energy on yg, we will lose more money and manpower. The time l wasted in it is enough for us to make a few orders."

Xilin cleared her throat, the voice of the discussion subsided, she blinked, "We must do a good job in the cooperation with yg, if we do well, we will not only have this one in the future, if yg does well, I believe that the cooperation with Korean companies will become more and more A lot. Don’t you want our studio to grow bigger and bigger?”

She couldn't refute what she said, and several people didn't answer. They took out the designs of the past few days for comparison, and Xilin was not satisfied just by looking at them, let alone YG's.

"Let's all go back and think about something more creative, and leave it to me tomorrow night." After the dissolution, she sat in the office alone, scribbling and correcting the draft, and didn't leave until nearly ten o'clock in the evening.

Now she really wants to do this well, the best cover can shock everyone.Not for anything else, she just wanted to prove to him that she was no longer the same Cao Xilin who just endured silently during the time he didn't see her.But the more she thinks like this, the more pressure she has. Paintings with utilitarianism are easy to be seen, so even her drafts were killed by yg.

I left the office with an umbrella, thinking that I would be the last one to leave the studio, but when I opened the door, I saw Vivi lying in front of the work, because of a cold, the table was covered with snot paper... I don’t know how to clean it up. Shaking her head in distaste, she remembered that she was working so late some time ago, the girl was young but she worked really hard.

Looking at her, she remembered the days when she was an intern in the United States and Japan. When she first arrived there, someone took her there. After less than a week, that person was transferred to other places, and no one took her again.

So she fumbled for everything, asked when she didn't understand, taught others when they had time, and was ashamed to disturb others when she didn't have time, and it lasted for two years like this.Those two years were the time when she learned the most and also the time when she grew the fastest.What Americans pay attention to in work is efficiency, no one cares about your age and no one cares about your experience.So she has to grow up to keep up with those people.

So at that time, she often stayed in the studio like this until late.

It is often dark and late at night when I come home from work. Every time there is a holiday, she always stays late at the company, the kind that finishes all the homework assigned by the school, and then goes home on the last bus with a relaxed body, stomping her feet. Turn on the voice-activated lights in the corridor and take out the key to open the door.Rent a house together. The American girl either stays at her boyfriend's house overnight or brings him back. She never wants to bother.

Turning on the light in the bedroom in the dark, collapsed on the bed and fell asleep.I woke up thirsty in the middle of the night, found that the kettle beside the bed was empty, and fell into a deep sleep, half asleep and half awake, thinking that there was always a glass of water by my bed, thinking about it, and fell asleep again.I didn't get up until I couldn't bear the hunger. I walked barefoot to the living room and opened the refrigerator, but there was nothing in it. Finally, I found a pack of instant noodles from the box and chest. I couldn't wait to open it and soak it in warm water.

When she drank the last sip of instant noodle soup, it was the first time in her life that she really understood what loneliness is.

...

Walking up to her, I saw a pile of waste paper in the trash can and asked, "Any good ideas?"

"Senior?!" Seeing that it was her, Vivi was a little nervous, "You haven't left yet...ah, I've thought about it a lot, but I'm not satisfied with what I drew..."

Xilin smiled and turned to look at the rainy night outside the window, "It has been raining intermittently since the afternoon, so pack up your things and let's go."

"It's okay, I'll wait a little longer."

"Let's go. I'll wait for you." Urging her to pack up her things, the two walked out of the office together to wait for the elevator.

Looking at her profile, I thought of meeting her and Li Shengxian at the barbecue restaurant some time ago, and thought of Senior CC saying that she drew the cartoon, and thought of this collaboration with YG.Although he didn’t say it, he definitely has an inseparable relationship with his senior. He bit his lips and couldn’t help but ask out of curiosity, “Is senior dating Big Bang’s Lee Seung Hyun?”

"...Why do you think so?"

"Because..." Originally lacking in confidence, I wanted to rely on this to get closer, but was caught off guard by asking back, cc closed his eyes nervously and sneezed, "Just... the last time I met you, just... ..”

"No, I'm not dating him." Stepped into the elevator one after the other, reached out to close the elevator door, "I don't have that kind of relationship with him."

"I'm sorry... I misunderstood, I thought... So senior is still single now?"

"What? Look down on single dogs?"

"No, no! I definitely didn't think so! I..." After looking around, I scratched my hair in embarrassment. When I saw her holding an umbrella in her hand, I suddenly remembered that my umbrella was still neatly placed on the table, "Oh, I forgot my umbrella." Take it."

"Do you want to accompany you back to get it?"

"...Forget it, my boyfriend is here to pick me up, he should bring it, right?"

After getting out of the elevator, I didn't walk a few steps and saw the boy who was in the barbecue shop last time standing there playing with his mobile phone waiting for her, his hair was slightly wet by the rain, and when he saw his girlfriend, he walked towards them.After exchanging a few greetings, the three of them walked towards the door together.

"I forgot to take my umbrella, have you brought it?"

"...I didn't bring...I don't even have an umbrella, you forgot?!"

"What should I do?"

"Let's go straight! Anyway, it's only a short distance..."

"I have a cold! You don't even feel sorry for me..."

Xilin held an umbrella and watched them arguing in front of the rain curtain. During the conversation, Vivi sneezed. The boy was already prepared to take out a wet tissue from his pocket and open it to help her blow her nose naturally.

She looked at the umbrella in her hand and suddenly felt that it was so redundant.
