Chapter 587: Bursting Single
Since Shi Zhenqiu chose Park Sung-hoon, there is nothing to do with Cho Hyo-jin.
However, Zhao Xiaozhen was also very sad that he didn't take Shi Zhenqiu, and forced Shi Zhenqiu to agree to a series of conditions before leaving.
His condition is that every year in the future, Shi Zhenqiu must appear in his show once a year, until this show can't be done.
Originally, Zhao Xiaozhen asked to appear once a month, but looking at the eyes of other people looking at him like SB, he also knew that it was unrealistic.
Shi Zhenqiu and Zhao Xiaozhen have a good relationship, if it weren't for haha this time, he would definitely have acted.
So for this request, even for many artists, it is a great thing, and Shi Zhenqiu has no reason to refuse.
sent away Zhao Xiaozhen and his party, and only the production team of Shi Zhenqiu and Park Sung-hoon was left.
Now, Shi Zhenqiu can finally say his own conditions.
"PD Park, it's okay for me to appear in this show, but I need to add someone in. ”
Hearing that it was a canon, Park Sung-hoon breathed a sigh of relief instead.
He originally thought that Shi Zhenqiu would ask for the production aspect, after all, in the previous "Birth of the Family", Jin Xiulu participated as a producer and made a lot of money.
If Shi Zhenqiu also asked for this, he would be very embarrassed.
As the PD of the show, what I hate the most is that there are too many mothers-in-law above my head.
The directors and CPs of TV stations are already very annoying, and if one more producer comes out, it will be equivalent to having their hands and feet tied.
Now I heard that Shi Zhenqiu had no plans in this regard, but just added someone in, which was not a condition at all.
"No problem. It's just that the focus of our show is female artists, so the candidates that Shi Zhenqiu Xi intends to join must also be female artists. ”
Park Sung-hoon said the restrictions, afraid that Shi Zhenqiu would propose candidates indiscriminately.
This show is a show where female artists get together, and if you nominate a male artist, you don't know how to arrange it.
As everyone knows, his restrictions are actually in line with Shi Zhenqiu's intentions.
"Hehe, don't worry, I'm also nominating a female artist. Girlhood Yoona, what do you think?"
"Who?"
What Shi Zhenqiu didn't expect was that when he proposed a candidate, Park Sung-hoon's face instantly turned red.
That's not dissatisfaction, it's excitement.
"Can you really bring in Yoona from Girls' Generation?"
Park Sung-hoon was really excited, rubbing his hands, not knowing how to express it.
When the show was creative, he once thought about inviting members of Girls' Generation to star. Anyway, this is the No. 1 girl group in Korea.
In a show dominated by female artists, but there are no members of the first girl group, how can it be justified?
The company sent out an invitation, but it turned out to be a waste of water, and there was no wave.
Park Sung-hoon thought that the company didn't look down on him.
Unexpectedly, here in Shi Zhenqiu, he actually gave him such a big surprise.
is not only a member of Girls' Generation, but also the popular ACE Lin Yuna.
"Shi Zhenqiuxi, can you really invite Miss Lin Yun'er? The company sent an invitation, but they refused. ”
Shi Zhenqiu smiled confidently.
"Hehe, that's because they don't know I'm also starring. And this is my invitation, so there will be no problem. I said hello when I turned around, and the company was fine. ”
Yes, with Shi Zhenqiu's guarantee, Park Sung-hoon also went beautifully.
According to Park Sung-hoon's idea, there will be twelve female artists in this show.
And the MC is Shi Zhenqiu and another man.
As for who the other MC is, their production team is still discussing it and has not yet decided.
The female artists finalized a few, but Park Sung-hoon did not tell Shi Zhenqiu.
In his words, it's to keep it a secret, and when the show starts recording, as a surprise.
Shi Zhenqiu didn't care about this, and he didn't feel embarrassed.
After getting used to "Infinite Challenge", I am most comfortable with unprepared situations. Even if you suddenly face female artists at that time, I believe that I can control it well.
At the end of April, the T-ara side finally finished preparing and began the final sprint before returning.
Shi Zhenqiu attaches great importance to their return this time, and has participated in the planning of many aspects such as singing and dancing, modeling, and MVs.
Especially the MV and styling, which he cares about the most.
The MV of the original "BO PEEP BO PEEP" is slightly sexy and glamorous, and the costumes are not satisfactory.
This time, after Shi Zhenqiu took the lead, he formulated a strategy.
The look of the girls with heavy makeup has been changed, and the charm of the clothing has been reduced, and the cuteness has been increased.
On the day of the MV shooting, he went to the scene to see it. The effect was very good, basically to the extent he expected.
At this time, Andorra Woodsquez called from the United States.
"Hi Stone, Bruno Mars' song is finally down. Now it's your turn, how's it, are you ready?"
Hearing that "Upton Funk" finally came down from the top of the weekly list, Shi Zhenqiu hurriedly checked it.
But no, when he checked it, this song was finally not the first on the weekly chart, but slipped to the fifth place.
Although it is still in the top ten on the list, it also shows that the influence has really passed.
Even so, when it comes to the song "Upton Funk", people can only worship.
Since the beginning of January, it has dominated the weekly Billboard list for fifteen weeks, how long has it been since I saw such a monster?
Anyway, this time Bruno Mars is famous, and in one fell swoop he has gone from a penniless kid to a Martian brother admired by everyone in the European and American pop music scene.
It is said that in four months, this guy earned more than 600 million just by attending commercial performances.
Mind you, it's the US dollar.
Similarly, Shi Zhenqiu has also gained a lot.
Relying on the copyright of this song alone, he earned more than two million dollars, not counting the previous production costs.
After deducting taxes or something, you can end up with more than 1.5 billion.
Obediently, the income of making a song for singers in Europe and the United States is more than ten times higher than that in South Korea.
But now that Bruno Mars's limelight has passed, and the Atlantic Records, which has earned more, thinks of Shi Zhenqiu, who is still in South Korea.
As the producer of "Upton Funk", he is now well-known in Europe and the United States.
Especially when the song was at its most popular, Bruno Mars's studio also promoted Shi Zhenqiu.
They found the original small radio station and bought the picture of Shi Zhenqiu singing "Upton Funk" for the first time there.
After editing, the image appeared on YouTube and quickly became a trending topic with more than two million views.
It is also the first time that many people know that the person who made "Upton Funk" is actually an East Asian.
And the place where this song first came out was actually in a small radio station.
Everything is so magical, and naturally it also attracts people's curiosity and promotes Shi Zhenqiu's publicity.
Now that Bruno Mars's limelight has passed, Shi Zhenqiu also has a small foundation, and Atlantic Records knows that it is time for him to play.
If it is delayed any longer, after this momentum, Shi Zhenqiu's debut in Europe and the United States will be far away.
Knowing the situation, Shi Zhenqiu was also much more serious.
"Well, I'll start working on the song now, and in about a week, you'll be able to see the finished product. ”
Woodsquez was nervous, after all, this was the first time Atlantic Records had operated an Asian singer to Europe and the United States.
Whether it will succeed or not, they are not sure.
"Hey man, you reveal it to me. The songs you make can't be in Korean, right?"
Shi Zhenqiu's head is full of black lines.
"Damn, what do you think? This song is going to be published in Europe and the United States, in English, of course. Rest assured, this song is no worse than Upton Funk, and it's very pop-friendly. ”
Woodsquez was still not reassured.
"In that case, I'll book a plane ticket for tomorrow. You know, I had to see it in person to be reassured. ”
Shi Zhenqiu doesn't care about him, love doesn't come.
Anyway, he knows that if this song is not popular, it will be unreasonable.
The only thing that bothered him was that the song he chose was sung by a woman.
If he sings it now, there is no problem in terms of singing skills, but he can't sing with the tactfulness of a woman.
Since this is the case, Shi Zhenqiu decided that it would be better to simply make the style of this song more explosive.
When a woman faces a breakup, she will be filled with emotions of anger, revenge, heartbreak, and self-reflection. And as a man, it's a complete outbreak.
The original singer's vocal range can cross from B3 to D5, so it is up to him to push it to a more extreme point.
In addition to songs, the MV is also what Shi Zhenqiu considers more.
No way, in the original MV, the floor is full of water glasses.
When the drum downstairs beats, the picture of the water in the water cup fluctuating is really classic.
When Shi Zhenqiu saw this MV in the voice for the first time, he was completely shocked.
However, the original MV is one thing bad, that is, there is no plot, and it seems to be fragmented.
Any picture in it seems a bit headless and brainless, and it ends up dragging down the song a bit.
Shi Zhenqiu decided to upgrade the plot of the MV and decided to challenge for more shocking graphics.
First of all, the picture of a full glass of water is to be kept. Not only did he want to keep it, but he decided to make it even more exaggerated.
In the original, it was the shock wave caused by the beating of the drum kit that made the water shake.
This Shi Zhenqiu will keep it, but in order to make the picture more explosive, he will add the picture of the sky drenched in rain.
In this way, the rain line falling from the air and the stimulation of the drum kit will make the water shake more violently.
In addition to this, there is the blessing of a third method.
That's dance.
Originally, I promised Yu Li, and if I released a new song, I would let her be the protagonist of the MV.
This time, Yuli's own dancing strength is good, and she happens to be competent.
However, after Shi Zhenqiu and the MV director carefully discussed, they found that if there was only Yu Li alone, it would look thin. So after thinking about it for a long time, he finally came up with a good solution.
"That's it, this MV, the five of you are dancing together. ”
Shi Zhenqiu looked at the girls in front of him, full of confidence.
And the girls sitting in front of him are Yoo-ri, Yoon-a, Seo-hyun, Eun-jeong, and Hyo-min.
Among them, Yuli is the lead dancer and will stand at the front.
There's no way.,I originally promised her to be the hero of the MV.。
Now that there are four more people, if you don't give her a more prominent shot, wouldn't it be a broken promise?
However, I heard that Shi Zhenqiu's single this time was to be released in Europe and the United States, and Yu Li was excited, but she didn't care about it.
And there is only one reason why Shi Zhenqiu decided to use the five of them to dance in a group.
That's the height of the five of them, all of them are 168.
The five girls stood together, brushing a line together, which was perfect. And these five girls are very good at dancing, and they can dance that kind of dance with great strength.
Yes, in order to conform to the rhythm of the music, Shi Zhenqiu asked Pei Yunjing to choreograph the dance for them, which is the kind of poping dance with a sense of power but simple movements.
Every movement of them needs to be able to keep up with the beat of the drum and not make the slightest mistake.
Only in this way can their dance steps resonate with the drum kit and not make the water in the cup sway.
In order to make them adapt, Shi Zhenqiu played a prelude for them.
As a result, the faces of the five girls turned green.
"Oba, this is too strong, isn't it?"
