Celebrity Neighbor: My girlfriend is a big star?-Chapter 1272 - 549: Singing Skills Slightly Improved (Part 3)
Of course, he wasn’t foolish enough to expose his uncle’s new song in advance, so what he’s humming now are some songs familiar to the locals.
The one he’s humming right now, for example, is "Love Confession".
In the past, he used to hum this too, but back then, his version was jokingly called "Farewell Balloon" by the viewers, who kept teasing him that Jay Chou would sue him...
But now, he’s like a new man with better skills.
After working with his uncle for a few days, Liu Xin’an finally understood why Park Jinyoung had remained a hot superstar in Korea for so many years.
His uncle is simply a jack of all trades.
He can sing, dance, write songs, choreograph, understand entertainment, and even use words to enchant people.
Indeed, the heavens are fair; they took away Park Jinyoung’s looks and compensated him with talent.
And it’s the kind of compensation that pays back double.
His talent is practically overflowing. After these few days, Liu Xin’an is extremely impressed with his uncle.
[Where is Sister Bae! We want to see Sister Bae!!]
[Wow, it does sound a bit better, was it because the previous impression was too bad?]
[Relax, maybe the initial expectation wasn’t that high to begin with]
[Makes sense]
[Xin’an, my Xin’an, soft kisses]
Among the strange comments were some mocking his singing skills.
Liu Xin’an took in those comments one by one, sneered, but didn’t respond.
Someday, he’ll use his perfect singing skills to slap these naysayers in the face.
For now, he still needs to endure.
"The streaming hours for this month are almost enough, planning to take a little leave at the end of the month."
Moving the mouse with one hand and resting his chin on the other, Liu Xin’an naturally declared his intention to skip some streams.
This statement left the viewers baffled.
At first, everyone sent question marks simultaneously, then turned to chiding Liu Xin’an.
After so many years, Liu Xin’an has long grown thick-skinned.
He didn’t care at all about the criticism and just smiled broadly: "Everyone needs a break, right? Besides, ever since I returned from England, I’ve been working daily with dedication. Anyway, the required hours aren’t much now. I’m definitely taking a break to have some fun."
[Going by yourself?]
[Not taking Sister Bae? I’m going to tattle to Sister Bae.]
"Whether I take her or not, telling you all won’t make a difference, right? Are you going to come block us?"
[Come to the mainland, don’t make me beg you]
[Travel vlog!!]
[Agreed]
"There’s nothing like that, entertainers need some degree of mystery. Like me, you see me every day, and if I suddenly appear on TV, you might not feel much about it?"
Liu Xin’an’s words, though crude, made sense.
Entertainers need mystery, it’s one of the basic operations to keep an entertainer’s popularity alive.
Unless it’s a comedian who particularly needs fame, generally talented entertainers don’t need to appear on camera every day to maintain their heat.
Take Bae Juhyun right now... or rather, Red Velvet. Though they still do a lot of advertising every comeback, compared to 2016 and 2017, their exposure channels are almost non-existent now.
If Bae Juhyun hadn’t snagged a well-connected boyfriend, this year Red Velvet would likely be in a situation where they’re trying hard, but can’t compete with the younger generation.
Not to mention, back in March, (G)I-dle’s comeback had already caught them off guard.
Moreover, there is more than one girl group in a similar situation to (G)I-dle this year...
However, even if that situation arises, Liu Xin’an is certain that Bae Juhyun and her group’s comeback performance wouldn’t be bad.
That’s the advantage of being with a big company.
A higher starting point, a better outcome, and... an infinitely high ceiling.
This was Liu Xin’an’s final answer regarding Bae Juhyun today. After this, as everyone watched him putting more focus on the game, they tacitly stopped bringing up those trivial matters and focused on the live stream themselves.
After all, Liu Xin’an’s streaming skills are decent, and the locals’ knack for talking non-stop could be fully showcased in this job.
...
Now, a few days later, Park Jinyoung’s instruction of Liu Xin’an’s singing skills could be considered concluded for now.
Though Liu Xin’an has not yet reached Park Jinyoung’s level of requirement, he is now able to keep up with the rhythm and shooting, managing to sing along to a couple of lines in front of the camera.
Hmm... just two lines.
Once it comes to the third line, Liu Xin’an’s tongue starts to twirl, and his pitch goes all over the place...
Weird, right? Park Jinyoung was dumbfounded when he first knew about it.
Thankfully, this is a shortcoming that can be overcome, and now Liu Xin’an is trying hard to fix this issue.
Today is the official shooting day of the MV. Liu Xin’an arrived at the shoot early in the morning and greeted all the staff who were helping today before finally reaching his uncle.
Today, Park Jinyoung was dressed flashy and youthful, with sunglasses on, his charming man vibe spread throughout the set instantly.
"Uncle."
"Ah, Xin’an, have you greeted the directors?"
"Yes, I did. Uncle, you look very stylish today."
"Hahaha, by the way, is Juhyun back?"
The sudden mention of Bae Juhyun by Park Jinyoung confused Liu Xin’an a bit.
Bae Juhyun came back yesterday, and now... she might be lazing around at his place?
Anyway, she’s definitely not out. That girl can be a homebody for a year or two unless occasionally pulled out of her nest by work.
"She’s back. Why, uncle, do you need her for something?"
Park Jinyoung glanced at the handsome, tall, and outstanding man in front of him and rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
"I feel... having Irene join the shooting might create a more aesthetically pleasing scene?"
"In that case, no one will see uncle in the footage."
"Tch, good point." Park Jinyoung nodded seriously, then couldn’t help but laugh.
Liu Xin’an laughed along with his uncle’s gesture.
Everyone knows that joking solemnly always manages to bring out laughter.
Just like right now.
