Chapter 44: The Seniors (Part II)
"Haven't you received the second wave of title songs yet?" Ha Ji Won, whose mouth was stuffed with things, frowned when he heard this, and said vaguely: "Let Jun Hyuk write you the first one, this guy is a great talent! โ
Although the voice was vague, it could not hide the faint pride in his tone.
Several people knew that her words were mostly showing off, but they didn't take it to heart, Kim Jong Kook scratched his head and laughed: "A month ago, I listened to Junhyuk's audio, and I couldn't sing his hiphop-style songs, and the vocal limitations were too great." โ
Baek Ji-young, who gradually integrated into the atmosphere of chatting, was no longer as silent as before, and glanced at him: "How do you know that Lu Dao Junhyuk can't make lyrical songs? The singing skills and lyrics of "Snow Flower" are not inferior to his "1 minute and 1 second". โ
Seeing her maintenance, while being a little stunned, Cheng Shijing said jokingly: "He was bought by him so quickly? Junhyuk, if you can really make a lyric, give it to Ji-young, at least she won't slap your ass in vain." โ
This was originally just a joke between each other, Bai Zhiying rolled his eyes, and was about to sarcastically say two words to him, Ahn Junhyuk, who had been smiling and watching them bickering, suddenly put down the cup, nodded very simply: "Yes, I do have a song in my hand that is quite suitable for Sister Zhiying!" Saying that, he ignored the somewhat stunned looks of the other people, groaned and continued: " Wait for another half a month or so, my album is in a hurry, I have to take care of myself for the time being, and I will have time to write that song after half a month, if Sister Zhiying is not in a hurry, just wait for a while!"
Bai Zhiying looked at him in a daze, and forgot to speak for a while.
People who have not experienced her situation, it is difficult to understand her current mood, since the video incident, her singing career has fallen into a continuous trough, the gap of the three-year self-adjustment period, so that her popularity has been completely dispersed, many people no longer remember her singing, no longer remember the dance she was once proud of, mention her name, the first thing that comes to mind is a certain unbearable video.
This also indirectly led to the complete failure of her comeback plan in '03, and since that failure, she has been trying to continue to prove herself for more than a year. But now she has lost too many qualifications, the economic company no longer has confidence in her, the songwriters heard that she wanted to collect songs, and they avoided it, originally last year according to the terms of the contract, the company had to release an album for her, but in the end it was because she couldn't receive the songs.
What she can do now is probably to wait for another three years in silence like the three-year adjustment period, until people, whether positive or negative, completely forget her, and then maybe there is the possibility of starting over.
To be honest, it's negative and ironic for a singer.
She doesn't know what others will do in her situation, for her, the only thing that can support her to persist now is about the anesthesia of alcohol, although as a singer, she understands that alcohol is not good for her throat, but that is the only thing that can prevent her from feeling harmed.
Therefore, when I heard Ahn Jun Hyuk say that there was a song that suited her and was ready to be given to her, she suddenly felt a little unreal, as if her soul was completely withdrawn from her body, and she was stunned and overwhelmed.
The other three were also a little stunned, and after a while, Ha Ji Won reacted first, restrained the expression on his face, and frowned: "Jun Hyuk, you're not kidding?"
"How could I possibly joke about such a thing. Ahn Jun-hyuk spread his hands helplessly, "It's true!"
"Uh......" The three of them looked at each other, and then looked at Bai Zhiying together, at this time, she seemed to finally recover from the initial shock, and slowly raised the wine glass, but several times to her lips, but did not drink it. Although her expression was still calm and did not make many waves, the slightly trembling hand holding the wine glass and the pouring of wine completely exposed the excitement in her heart. โฆ,
Perhaps, that song is just a temporary game, perhaps, it is not as suitable for her as he said, but now Baek Ji-young doesn't want to think about it so much, she looks at Ahn Jun-hyuk with complicated eyes, and once again raises the wine glass vigorously, her lips move, and finally only says a short sentence: "Thank you, Jun-hyuk!"
Then she tilted her head and smothered, too eager movements, so that she choked, and in the violent choking cough, she quickly covered her mouth, buried her face in her knees, and for a moment, her shoulders shrugged, and a suppressed whimper flowed out dullly.
โฆโฆ
Ahn Jun Hyuk is of course not joking, he really wants to help Baek Ji Young, on the one hand, he wants to repay the favor, Ha Ji Won took the trouble to get to know the seniors in the music industry for him, and he can't repay her anything at the moment, so he can only start by helping her friends first, on the other hand, there is also pity.
Maybe Baek Ji-young himself doesn't like to be sympathized, but it is undeniable that the moment he saw her drinking in the box, Ahn Jun-hyuk felt that he seemed to need to do something about such a strong woman.
Of course, behind helping her, there is also a little utilitarian intention from him.
The company doesn't trust his ability, although he says that he will power the power to help fight for the power of the producer, but if you think about it carefully, you know that the possibility of the company agreeing is very small. As Kwon Bo-geun said, agreeing to arrange the music by him is already a big concession for the company, releasing an album is not child's play, and no matter how tolerant the senior management is, he will not be allowed to point fingers from someone who has never had relevant production experience - even if the album is his.
At the end of the day, it's a matter of experience and seniority, and since he can't get through with the company, he's looking for outside collaborations, and as long as he can make a big-selling record โ even if it's just an EP โ he'll be emboldened enough to demand more power for the next album.
Looking at the entertainment industry, the only one who has the strength and can accept his request for production power should be Baek Ji-young, who has a bad career. In addition to her, who has been ostracized and has no scruples, even if she is a second- or third-tier singer, she will not hand over her works to him, a newcomer.
Sure enough, when Baek Ji-young's mood stabilized a bit, Ahn Jun-hyuk asked to be the producer herself, she agreed without hesitation.
As a singer but with no songs to sing, she is really fed up, not to mention just being a producer, even if it is more demanding, she will not hesitate.
After the treat was completed that day, the two exchanged mobile phone numbers and made a verbal agreement that Bai Zhiying would go to Sยท Company M picks up the song. After lunch, Ahn Junhyuk, who hurried back to the company in the afternoon, put aside the matter for the time being and began to concentrate on writing his two main songs first.
"1 Minute and 1 Second" has accumulated a lot of recognition because the audio has been leaked on the Internet before, so it will be the first wave of the main hit, and will be on the debut stage with him as a debut song before the official release of the mini series. Ahn Joon-hyuk tinkered with it in three days, then spent another four days writing the second wave of the main dance track, and immediately began recording it.
"Why are you in such a hurry?"
Quan Baogen was puzzled by his urgency to start recording, and asked in wonder while contacting the company's recording studio and recording engineer at his request, and then contacting Bao'er.
Ahn Joon-hyuk didn't answer him, in fact, he suddenly had a sense of urgency on the day he met Kim Jong Kook.
The memories brought by dreams are not complete, just like normal memories, many things that are not very concerned will be very vague to recall. In the dream of 05 years, he is still in the busiest period, not much attention to the entertainment industry, before only vaguely felt, 05 years seem to have happened a lot of amazing things, especially in the song industry, there seems to be a rare grand occasion, but what it is, but there is no way to fully recall it. โฆ,
It wasn't until I met Kim Jong Kook that the vague information in my mind suddenly connected.
Although it is still fragmentary, at least Ahn Joon-hyuk knows that the grand occasion in the music industry in 05 is related to Kim Jong Kook, and when it comes to the fact that he will release an album this year, the result is clear.
Ahn Jun-hyuk doesn't know if his guess is right, he has always been cautious, and he never thinks about problems with a fluke mentality, this debut album means a lot to him, even if there is only a small possibility, he will not risk it.
Now that he has suddenly caught up with the progress, he naturally wants to take advantage of the gap between Kim Jong Kook's title song and a lot of time to greatly stagger the release date of the two to avoid the possibility of direct competition with each other.
The recording of "1 minute and 1 second" went smoothly, Ahn Jun Hyuk and Boa, who had already cooperated once, completed the recording of all the audio tracks in only 2 days, and only the shooting of the MV remained. Ahn Jun-hyuk had no opinion on this, and Boa also did not object, so when Ahn Jun-hyuk continued to record the dance song "The Sun That Never Sets", the company accelerated the pace of searching for a MV director.
Time passed quickly, and soon the date agreed with Baek Ji-young arrived, Ahn Jun-hyuk, who has been busy recording recently, took the time to write the song "No More Love" for her, and temporarily put down work that day, ready to wait for her to come to the company and talk to her about the production in detail.
However, on the morning of January 17, which was no different from the past, the weather was sunny and ordinary, Baek Ji-young did not wait, but first waited for the first storm in the Korean entertainment industry in 2005, which gradually calmed down - a storm that affected most of the first-line stars in the entertainment industry and had devastating power!
On the morning of January 17, 2005, a file with the full name of "Report on the Results of In-depth Interviews with Specialists for Advertising Models and Celebrity Prospects" appeared on the Internet, and according to the poster, the report was a speculative document compiled by the "First Planning" company to select product spokespersons and models for customers, commissioned DSR survey machines, and began to collect data and interview information in November last year, and the whole document was 113 pages thick.
Part of the poster's "extreme privacy" about popular Hallyu superstars Lee Byung-hun, Kwon Sang-woo, Bae Yong-jun and others caused netizens to download "sea and tsunami" as soon as the file download was released!
