Chapter III: Selection (II)

When to start following the growing shadow

Walk with her in the darkness of the night

Holding hands, no matter what time of day

will cry for being together

Just as the wind is getting colder, so is winter

Gradually, this street also ushered in

……

The soft voice reverberates softly in the room, like a poem-like sentence, and the melody in the spring drunken afternoon, under the bright but not sharp sun, slowly flowing by, a moment of true and false sound changes, the sudden rise of the tune, like an ethereal and depressed cry, revealing the sadness and heaviness hidden in the depths of the heart.

Ahn Jun-hyuk, who closed his eyes slightly, suddenly remembered the end of 2004 in his dream, when he was also in Seoul, accompanied Jisoo to the hospital in Seoul for a review, the Han River Bridge in December, dense snowflakes were all over the sky, and the river below was vast, and the slight waves rolled up with snow particles and smashed on the shore.

Later, I learned that it was the theme song of a serial drama, but because the plot was sad, he hadn't seen it, only the song was remembered very clearly.

At this time, facing the selection assessment, the first song that comes to mind is it, not only is it the most impressive, on the other hand, this love song that needs to be performed by a mature voice can also show singing skills the most.

After the song, Ahn Jun-hyuk bent down slightly to make a respectful gesture, waiting for the evaluation of the person opposite.

On the other side, Li Xiuman had long forgotten the information in his hand that he had subconsciously flipped, and looked at An Junhyuk with a distracted gaze, but the focus was not there, as if he was looking in a farther direction, and he reacted after a while, coughed dryly, threw down the information in his hand casually, and gently tapped his fingers on the table: "This tune...... It's Mika Nakajima's "Snow Blossom", and you wrote the Korean lyrics yourself?"

Ahn Joon-hyuk nodded, showing no weakness in his plagiarism behavior, and the moment he gave up the path he should take in the future and chose to realize Jisoo's dream, he put all his worries down.

Do people who can even throw away their own future care about the guilt caused by petty plagiarism?

Seeing Ahn Jun-hyuk nodding, Li Xiuman's small eyes behind the lenses opened slightly, but then they retracted and continued to comment: "Actually, with your voice, it is not suitable for singing this song, your voice is clear and clean, it is too clear, it is not possible to sing the deep and heavy performance in the lyrics, but your skills are great, Zhilu Dao uses nasal and chest resonance to accentuate the texture...... Have you ever studied bel canto?"

Ahn Joon-hyuk said, "Yes, I used to learn the basics of bel canto from the music teacher at school, and I practiced it myself from time to time. ā€

He didn't lie about this, he and his sister's music foundation was learned from the school's music teacher when he was in elementary school, the teacher was a middle-aged woman with a very deep bel canto skills, and she was quite interested in teaching her disciples, because she liked the voices of the two brothers and sisters, in addition to public classes, she had been teaching them for free in private until the two entered middle school. Ahn Ji-so's dream of becoming a singer and star was also cultivated at that time.

"Not bad......" Li Xiuman nodded without surprise, generally bel canto from a professional class is not good at singing popular songs, mainly because the two have different requirements for vocals and larynxal, especially the strict requirements for vocal cords in pop songs, many people who are used to bel canto can't sing taste, but people who are born in such a wild way, have not been branded with bel canto, and have a singing foundation, are more suitable for performing pop songs, and the vocal range is also very wide, if you practice well, you can adapt to a variety of styles.

He pondered for a while, and then said, "Don't practice bel canto in the future, starting tomorrow, I will arrange a teacher for you to learn pop singing." ā€

Ahn Jun Hyuk, who had been bowing his head respectfully, raised his head when he heard the words, blinking his eyes, "What do you mean...... Can I sign a contract?"...,

Li Xiu's jaw was full, and a smile finally appeared on his cold face, "Well, let's come over tomorrow to sign the contract!" As he spoke, he turned his head to Quan Baogen behind him and ordered, "You can show him a contract in a while, and bring him to my office tomorrow." People are brought by you, and you will be responsible for them in the future, cultivate them well, and see how you perform. ā€

After that, he stood up and walked away without a trace of stopping.

It wasn't until Li Xiuman's footsteps went farther and farther away, and he couldn't hear it anymore, and Quan Baogen, who had been suppressing the surprise, suddenly broke out, and the older people jumped up with cheers, rushed over in a few steps and hugged An Junhyuk, patted him on the shoulder and back, and shouted excitedly: "You kid, you can really surprise people, you can play musical instruments and fill in words, why don't you tell me in advance if you have these abilities? ā€

"Hehe, isn't this a choice?" Ahn Joon-hyuk is also very happy, one step closer to Jisoo's dream, as long as he can become a trainee, he will be on the side of SĀ· M This big tree, with all the resources he has mastered in his dreams, can already see the light in the future.

and the excited and somewhat uncontrollable Quan Baogen said a few more words, so that the middle-aged uncle regained his composure, and he didn't blame him for being so gaffe, President Li Xiuman's words when he left, clearly meant that he could give Quan Baogen another chance to re-enter the core, for Quan Baogen, this surprise came too suddenly, it was equivalent to the president giving him a credit for nothing, as long as he didn't make a fool of himself.

After all, he saw Ahn Jun-hyuk's performance, such a good-looking and talented seedling, even in SĀ· In Company M, it is also very rare and precious, and if it is operated well, it is not a problem to make a debut or become popular.

Originally, for Ahn Junhyuk, he was also in a hurry to gamble on the doctor, but he didn't expect that before a handful of chips was thrown down, he would be exchanged for a hen with the potential to lay golden eggs, so it was strange that he was not happy.

After regaining his composure, he got the contract from Kwon Bo-geun, Ahn Jun-hyuk did not stay at the company, and rushed back to Myeon Mudong and rented his own house non-stop.

The house is located in a rather old residential area, with undulating slopes on both sides of the streets, all kinds of shop signs hung messily, strange smells emanating from the sewers on both sides, and a busy day on the streets, piling up a lot of uncleaned garbage, making this place look extremely poor, but in Seoul, only such a house is cheaper.

Passing through an alley, I came to a small building with mottled walls and crawling tigers, went up to the second floor, opened the door gently, and the sound of soft music floated out of the house, facing the direction of the door, in the small balcony, sitting on a recliner looking into the distance, An Jixiu, who didn't know what he was thinking, heard the movement and looked back, and saw that it was him, and squeezed out a smile.

Ahn Junhyuk showed a brighter smile, looked at his sister, took out a piece of paper from behind his back, and said with a shaking, "Jisoo, guess what this is?"

"Huh?" Zhixiu looked at his brother suspiciously, and after a while, he suddenly reacted, and his voice trembled a little: "Brother, you ...... Selected?"

"yes, you can sign a contract tomorrow. With that, he stepped forward to pick up his sister, put her in the wheelchair next to her, and said with a smile: "Let's go, go out to eat today, celebrate!"

Ahn Ji-so, who was pushed forward by him, looked up at his brother who was smiling brightly in the sunset, and suddenly felt that his chest was full of swelling and warm......
