Mai.k is Mai Kuraki's nickname, and people who are usually close to her can call her by this name, but Mai Kuraki asked Choi Jun-seok, who met for the first time, to call her so, and apparently she had a very good impression of Choi Jun-seok.

"Uh, okay..."And for Mai Kuraki's kindness, Choi Jun-seok also smiled and shouted kindly, "Mai.k~"

"(*^__^*)..."Mai Kuraki narrowed her eyes happily.

But before she could finish her happiness, Cui Junxi's eyes rolled, the smile on the corner of his mouth was raised, and he deliberately asked with a curious expression, "Mai.k, I have a question for you..."

"Hmm~" Although Mai Kuraki was puzzled, she still nodded kindly.

"Are I so ugly with Mr. Nagato?" Choi Jun-seok looked at her seriously.

"Huh?" Mai Kuraki didn't react for a moment.

"Because Mai.k, when you see us, it's like you've seen a ghost......" Choi Jun-seok sighed with a 'sad' face.

"Embarrassment..."Mai Kuraki realized that he was deliberately teasing her with her 'voice' just now, so Mai Kuraki's face turned red.

"Haha..."^_^*5, although Choi Joon-seok speaks English, it is not difficult for everyone to 'understand' what he means, so everyone is happy.

Although he has the intention to further build a good relationship, after all, it is the first time they meet, and after Cui Junxi has enlivened the atmosphere a little, he has restrained his funny thoughts and praised it sincerely. "I'm sorry, I'm joking, Mai.k, but your singing voice is beautiful and very comfortable to listen to...... And the true falsetto is very powerful...... No wonder you're an Asian star and I'm just a Korean singer......" At the end, he couldn't help but make a small joke.

"Haha..."^_^*5, everyone was amused by his 'self-deprecating' humor again.

Looking at Choi Jun-seok's funny appearance of deliberately shrugging his shoulders and pouting, everyone had a good impression of him, especially Mai Kuraki, although her face was a little red from Choi Jun-seok's joke. But he looked at Choi Jun-seok with more interest.

Nagato wants to sign Choi Jun-seok, and he is very urgent. She naturally knows that although Nagato and others are the bosses of the company, NorthernMusic is just a 'small' office dedicated to Mai Kuraki, without her. There is no need for Northern Music to save zài. Therefore. If you want to sign into a 'newcomer' to develop the company's business, you will naturally not hide it from her, but on the contrary, you must tell her in advance to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.

And when he heard that he was going to sign Choi Jun-seok, one of South Korea's hottest singers at the moment. Mai Kuraki is really curious, after all, Choi Jun Seok's 'scenery' in 07 has been over for a while, and his reputation on YouTube has even been noticed by the American music industry, and he was specially invited to participate in the annual Eagle Rock Music Festival, which is a pop festival that many pop singers hate. Therefore, Mai Kuraki, who is a pop star, has naturally heard of Choi Jun-seok to some extent.

Moreover, Choi Jun-seok has released two singles and albums with sales of more than 600,000 in succession, which at least makes more than 95% of singers envious and jealous, which makes Mai Kuraki surprised. After all, it's not the era of millions of sales at every turn, even she hasn't sold more than 400,000 sales for a long time, but Cui Junxi has sold two copies in succession!

Therefore, for this Korean singer who counterattacked when the record industry was in a big decline, Mai Kuraki still admires it, this may be the so-called recognition of heroes and heavy heroes, right?

Mai Kuraki, who already had a certain affection for him, really saw Cui Junxi, only to find that he was unique charm, open-minded but aggressive, sunny and very measured, always with a warm smile on his lips, coupled with his fox-like bewitching eyes, which made Mai Kuraki can't help but look wonderful.

Just when the people on the NorthernMusic side were very curious about Choi Jun-seok, but Nagato Daiyuki, who had just seen Choi Jun-seok's calm side, looked at him in disbelief, he was really an artist......

…… ，……

After Nagato's explanation, Mai Kuraki cooperated to stop recording the album and give up the recording studio.

Wesonam handed the pre-prepared demo to the NorthernMusic sound engineer and said something to him, who nodded and put the disc into the DVD next to him. After watching him finish this, Wei Sonam gave a thumbs up like Choi Jun-seok in the recording studio, and Choi Jun-seok also cooperated with the headset.

Compared with the luxury of the outside, the recording studio in the interior pays more attention to simplicity and comfort, and the pastel tones make it easier for Choi Joon-seok to calm down, he slows down his breathing, tries to empty his mind as much as possible, and no longer thinks about other irrelevant things.

After a while, he made an OK gesture to the recording engineer, and the others such as Nagado and Mai, who had been waiting, also perked up and paid 100% attention, ready to see the strength of this Korean lyric king.

The recording engineer turned on the music, and a prelude passed to Choi Jun-seok's ears through the guò headset, and Choi Jun-seok secretly counted the beats in his heart, and then sang at the right time,

"I always ask for you but never say thank you

It wasn't until I grew up that I understood that it wasn't easy for you

Always pretend to be relaxed every time you leave......"

"Time slows down, don't let you get old again

I would like to exchange my qiē for your long stay

Grandfather, who will be strong all his life, what can I do for you

Let's take it for insignificant concern......"

For the first time, Choi Joon-seok's ethereal and pure bel canto vocals, which is different from the mainstream of the Korean music industry, sounded for the first time in Japan, a country where ethereal ballad music is the mainstream music.

Unlike dance music, which is the mainstream music in Korea, Japan is a country that has been influenced by various historical and cultural influences, and its music forms include popular music (POP), R&B, rock, dance music, hip-hop, and soul music. Among them, POP and R&B are the most popular, followed by various rock music, music in the form of bands, mixed with hip-hop and other rap music, and finally dance music.

The modern ballad music with ethereal meaning is the most special in the POP, and this ethereal music is most famous for female singers, almost every singer who can be called in J-Pop will have one or two songs of this style, whether it is Namie Amuro, Ayumi Hamasaki, Hikaru Utada, Mai Kuraki, and later Koda Kurumi, Ai Otsuka, Kana Nishino, etc. In addition, when such a song comes out, fans and critics immediately praise the singer's ability, as if Japanese people are particularly fond of this kind of music.

So when Choi Joon-seok sings this song "Grandfather" from his album with his pure and ethereal singing voice. Mai Kuraki's eyes widened in surprise. Although Mai Kuraki couldn't understand what she was singing like Choi Jun-seok just now. But she can concentrate on his or her singing voice and voice.

Choi Jun-seok's singing voice has always been known for being pure and melodious, thanks to his natural voice, which is naturally very mellow unlike the muddy voices of most people. There was not much noise. So when he 'speaks' in the way he sings. It will look very ethereal, as if the spring is flowing in a quiet and silent valley, which is very beautiful.

And although the mainstream music in Korea and Japan is different. But some basic aesthetics are still the same, Choi Jun-seok's voice is different from that of most singers in South Korea, making him the same as Kim Jong Kook, very popular in South Korea, and has won the title of the strongest bel canto, because it is naturally more attractive to be different~

So since Choi Jun-seok is so popular in South Korea, where ethereal music is not the mainstream, isn't it even more comfortable in Japan, which is particularly fond of this kind of music?

Thinking of this, Mai Kuraki seems to understand a little bit why Nagato Daiyuki wants to sign Choi Jun-seok so much, because this guy is definitely a potential big gold mine. And Nagato pinched his chin thoughtfully with such a look, obviously he already knew, so Mai Kuraki couldn't help but pout, the cunning old man of Nagato, ^_^

"Thank you for having you along the way......"

Just when Mai Kuraki was burying Changhu hard in her heart, Cui Junxi had already finished the song.

As the trills of the last clothes moth fell, Nagato Daiyuki applauded with a smile, and regardless of whether Cui Junxi heard it or not, he opened his mouth and praised it, "It's really good to sing, Mr. Cui Junxi~"

Choi Jun-seok's cappella this time has a smooth rhythm and full of emotion, so it is not too much for Nagato to praise 'good'.

Nagato's applause woke Mai Kuraki from the darkness of her belly, and she quickly patted her fleshy little hand and smiled softly at Choi Jun-seok.

Choi Jun-seok seemed to hear it, but he didn't say anything, just shrugged his shoulders with a smile.

Since he could hear it, it meant that the recording engineer had turned on the microphone outside in time. Therefore, seeing the confidence revealed by Cui Junxi in this silence, Changhe smiled slightly, and said meaningfully, "We have seen Mr. Choi Junxi's basic skills, which is very exciting...... But I wonder if Mr. Choi can come up with a Japanese song?"

Cui Junxi was stunned and looked at him a little puzzled, while Changhe looked at Cui Junxi with a smile and a calm face.

Cui Junxi's pupils shrank, as if he understood something, he glanced at Changhu deeply, but he didn't show any dissatisfaction, just smiled faintly.

However, Wei Sonam and Yin Xueyue's faces changed slightly, because NorthernMusic did not have this requirement in advance, and Cui Junxi himself did not understand Japanese, so he did not prepare a Japanese song, but a Korean "Grandfather" and an English "baby", but Changhu asked for a Japanese song at this time, which was completely unexpected by Cui Junxi's side, and he looked a little bit like he was out of the way.

However, having said that, since you are going to come to Japan to develop, it doesn't seem too much to test the Cheng dù of Japanese songs, because after all, you will be releasing Japanese albums in the future, so Nagato's 'little difficulty' is not too much, and it is even quite reasonable. It is precisely because of this that Choi Jun-seok smiled and said nothing.

The reason why Changhu made such a request was to see where Cui Junxi's bottom line was, although he valued the value that Cui Junxi might have, and even tolerated him to control his own development route, but he definitely didn't want to find a thorn in the coffin to make himself uncomfortable, what should be restricted or restricted, otherwise, what kind of cooperation would we talk about?

And Choi Jun-seok also understands this, but he understands it, but he can't be stepped on with a shy face as soon as people say it, isn't that too 'cheap'? Besides, the hot thing of shaving his head and picking his head is not cherished by others, so Cui Junxi can only be silent. And Nagato Daiyuki's position also determined that he couldn't always compromise with Choi Jun-seok, so the atmosphere in the studio plummeted.

At this time, Mai Kuraki finally noticed the vague and unambiguous depressing atmosphere between Nagato Daiyuki and Choi Jun-seok, and hurriedly smiled softly, and said in English, "Mr. Choi Jun-seok, is this song composed and lyrics by Mr. Choi Jun-seok?"

"Uh..." Cui Junxi was stunned for a moment, a little unresponsive, and Nagato Daiyuki also looked at her in amazement, while Mai Kuraki looked at Cui Junxi indifferently, her eyes were very sincere.

Looking at Mai Kuraki's sincere eyes, Nagato Daiyuki seemed to understand something, so he smiled slightly and withdrew his gaze towards Cui Junxi. And Cui Junxi also reacted, he looked at her with a complicated expression, nodded and said, "Well, yes..."

"Really, it's very good......" Mai Kuraki clapped her little hand as if she hadn't done anything, and smiled happily, "There is a sense of sadness that makes people cry, but there is a touch of relief, it really deserves to be Mr. Choi Junxi..."

Looking at Mai Kuraki's always soft smile, Choi Jun-seok touched his nose embarrassedly, "It's okay, it's far worse than Mai.k..."

It's not Choi Junxi Naqiao, although Mai Kuraki can't compose, but she is very good at writing lyrics, basically every song on the album is written by herself, and her lyrics are not only beautiful, but also very close to the composition, like a gorgeous poem, very rhythmic.

This skill is really not inferior to Cui Junxi, and it should even be said that it is slightly stronger than Cui Junxi, and the name of Mai Kuraki's talented woman is also unanimously recognized by the outside world, so it is not wrong for Cui Junxi to admit that he is inferior to her.

And his politeness not only made Mai Kuraki have a better impression of him, but even Changhu couldn't help but have a sincere smile, with Mai Kuraki's just right icebreaking, he not only saw Cui Junxi's bottom line, but also did not offend him.

"Oops, how can there be~" No matter who is the winner of the 'dark war' between Choi Jun-seok and Nagato Daiyuki, Mai Kuraki just didn't want to see them hurt their harmony, so she broke the ice, and now she was very embarrassed by Cui Junxi's polite praise, and said softly with her little hand, "Mr. Choi Jun-seok is really powerful, he can write so many good songs..."

"What am I so powerful, my teacher is amazing, he is an old man who claims to be able to make people become gods..."Now that the atmosphere is broken, Choi Jun-seok also resumed his unbounded behavior, and dug a pit for Huang Can, who is far away in South Korea, with an ambiguous face, "Although he is a sword (cheap) god~"

"Poof~"

"Haha..."^_^*5
