Chapter 4: Two Songs
"I knew you would come back. ”
In the office, the fragrance of tea is wafting, and the two sit opposite each other.
Yu Yongzhen looked at the young man opposite, the past was vivid, one by one, and he said with some relief: "When you called me yesterday, you don't know how happy I am. Although many people said that you would not come back, I believe that you will definitely come back. ”
As he spoke, he looked at Li Zheng with a smile on his face, nodded and said, "The complexion is good, and the temperament looks much calmer than before, not as arrogant, cold, and aggressive as when I was a child." Yes, I have been out for a few years, and I have indeed grown a lot. ”
Li Zheng touched his nose and laughed self-deprecatingly: "When I was young, I was ignorant, and I really offended many people. ”
"Huh. You!"
Yu Yongzhen shook his head and smiled: "In the past, in the company, you put on an expressionless face all day long, and no one was close to you, except for Yun Xi, who was close to you and ignored you...... Oh, by the way, does Yun Xi know that you are back, that girl used to stick to you every day, and when you left, she was the saddest person who cried. ”
A warm color flashed in his eyes, and Li Zheng shook his head: "I saw on the news that she was filming a TV series, I must have been very busy recently, I want to wait until she is busy with this paragraph, and then contact her." And I just returned to South Korea, and I haven't found an apartment to stay in yet, so I'll contact her when everything settles down. ”
Yu Yongzhen said: "You have a lot of ideas since you were a child, how to arrange it for yourself." By the way, do you want me to ask a friend to help you about the apartment?"
Li Zheng smiled: "Then it's troublesome Brother Yongzhen." ”
"What's the trouble, this is what I should do as an older brother. ”
Yu Yongzhen smiled and asked again: "What are your plans for coming back this time? Have you thought about what aspect of development? If there is anything I can help with, you can just ask." ”
"Huh. I really want to ask Brother Yongzhen for help today......"
Li Zheng paused, took out two sheet music and an MP3 and handed them to Yu Yongzhen, "Brother Yongzhen, these are two songs that I have recently composed by combining American electronic music and K-pop pop trends, and please help me appreciate them." ”
After Yu Yongzhen took it, Li Zheng smiled again: "I have been away from South Korea for a few years, although I have listened to a lot of recent popular songs before coming back, but I am still a little unsure about the current fashion trend in South Korea. ”
Yu Yongzhen first looked at the two music scores, the lyrics and songs on the music scores are complete, and the song titles are "sorry, sorry" and "Ring, Ding, Dong".
After reading the score, Yu Yongzhen put on the headphones, started the MP3, and a burst of melody repetition but strong rhythm rushed into his ears, after a while, he looked stunned, suddenly ripped off the headphones, and looked at Li Zheng, "You sing?" Seeing Li Zheng nodding, Yu Yongzhen's eyes suddenly widened, "So, your voice ?......"
Li Zheng smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Although it has improved after treatment in the United States, it is easy to become tired and hoarse after singing for a little longer." I can barely record a song in the studio, but it's impossible to make my debut as a solo singer. ”
Yu Yongzhen couldn't help but sigh a little disappointed when he heard this, looked up at Li Zheng, opened and closed his lips a few times, but he was speechless, sighed lightly in his heart, put on the headphones again, pressed the MP3 playback button, and auditioned the song from the beginning.
After ten minutes, after listening to it twice, Yu Yongzhen took off the headphones, put the MP3 on the table, and tapped his fingers lightly on the score a few times, he said: "The melody is simple and repetitive, but the sense of rhythm is very good, although the first time I heard it was a little saliva, but after listening to it twice, it has a strong toxic ......"
Speaking of this, Yu Yongzhen paused, and looked down at the score again, "To be honest, I like the melodies of these two songs very much, but now let me judge whether they are popular or not, I can't be sure." After all, what a song is, whether it is popular or obliterated, will eventually have to withstand the test of the market and fans. ”
Li Zheng nodded in understanding and said with a smile: "I am already very satisfied to get such an evaluation from Brother Yongzhen." ”
In the following time, the two exchanged their composition experience, the popular trend of K-POP music, and Li Zheng talked about his life in the United States in the past few years, leaving the hotel address and contact information, because Li Zheng still had a date in the afternoon, the two agreed on the time of the next dinner, and Yu Yongzhen sent Li Zheng out of the company.
…………
After sending Li Zheng away, Mr. Yu walked into an office and greeted a bespectacled middle-aged man behind his desk.
"President. ”
The middle-aged man nodded, motioned for him to sit down on the side, and then asked, "Gone?"
"Gone. ”
"What did he come for?"
"Said they were coming to see me. Then he brought two samples of his newly created and recorded songs, and wanted me to help him appreciate and perfect them. ”
"Oh, did he record it? Did he recover his throat?"
"I heard him say that he has improved, but after singing for a long time, he is easy to get tired and hoarse. It will be troublesome to make your debut as a solo singer. ”
The middle-aged man groaned slightly, and then asked, "What do you think of the song?"
"Very nice. Although the melody and rhythm are simple, they are highly toxic. ”
"Yes. ”
The middle-aged man nodded, his fingers tapped on the table, deep in thought, and after a long time, he raised his head, "That kid has been very purposeful since he was a child, and he won't be untargeted." Do you think he has any other purpose than to let you enjoy the songs?"
Yu Yongzhen shook his head: "There may or may not be." He didn't say, and I didn't want to ask much. ”
"Well, you've seen him. Do you think the company is worth signing him on his current terms?"
Yu Yongzhen pondered for a long time, nodded and shook his head, "In terms of appearance, according to the company's 100-point scoring standard, he is at least above 97 points." Height, body shape, and temperament are more eye-catching and attractive than before. Needless to say, in terms of talent, he has been excellent since he was a child. But being a singer is not suitable. Let him enter the group, firstly, the company has no men's group plan recently, and secondly, with his character, nine times out of ten, he will refuse. But when he debuted as a solo singer, his voice was another problem. If the company signs him, it can only let him develop as an actor, but ......"
Speaking of this, Yu Yongzhen paused, looked at the middle-aged man, the middle-aged man seemed to understand what he wanted to express, shook his head and smiled, "Yes......! With his character, if he develops as an actor, our company is the most unlikely for him to sign a contract. ”
"Why don't I try?"
"It's fine to try it if you want to, but it's better not to have any expectations. That kid is too smart and too purposeful. Being smart is a good thing, being too smart is a nuisance. ”
"He's just too strong. ”
"yes. It's too strong. Be the best at everything. Sometimes, it makes people feel pitiful to be strong. Sometimes, the strong one makes people feel hateful. ”
The middle-aged man sighed, shook his head again, and said lightly: "However, don't take it too seriously." For the company, one more of him is not more, and one less of him is not a lot. He just has potential and value. But just like a gambling stone, no one knows whether it is jade or waste until it is opened.
It doesn't matter if you can sign it or not.
However, in the end, we watch the children grow up, and if we can help them, we will try to help them. His two songs, since you think they are good, the price can be appropriately increased. He has just returned to South Korea, and there must be a need for money. By the way, SJ hasn't been collecting songs lately, and since the songs are good, they can choose one and put it on their new album. ”
