Chapter 659: Who Said Retro Doesn't Work?
Yoon Jong-shin is still worried.
"Are you sure you can combine music and music video well? Let me tell you, your idea has not been tried before. But it's not good. ”
Shi Zhenqiu smiled, not frightened at all.
With the help of sound, he couldn't have been intimidated either.
"Brother, that's someone else, not me. ”
He repeatedly emphasized this, which made Yin Zhongxin interested.
"Do you have an idea? Tell me, let me see how the story goes. ”
They are all their own people, and there is no need for Shi Zhenqiu to hide them. He dragged a pen and paper and told the story as he told.
"The 80s and 90s of the last century were the golden age of our country, and now many people are full of nostalgia for that time. So I'm going to unfold the story from the perspective of a middle-aged woman's memories. ”
Kim Hyung-seok suddenly realized.
"Ah, isn't this retro style? I still play retro style, how much repercussions can I have?"
Shi Zhenqiu is still full of confidence.
"Teacher, it may be useless for others to play retro style, but I am different. Don't forget, the last retro trend was led by me. ”
As soon as he said this, everyone had to agree.
The last time Onder Girls became the No. 1 girl group in South Korea with the popularity of the retro trilogy, it was Shi Zhenqiu's credit.
It seems that he has a deep understanding of this.
Yoon Jong-shin pushes his glasses.
"Look at what you mean, it's time for retro style to catch fire again?"
People who have been in the music industry all year round actually know that the so-called pop trends are constantly cyclical.
Whether we can grasp it or not depends on whether we can accurately seize the opportunity.
Shi Zhenqiu nodded, not denying it.
"It's an opportunity for all kinds of music in the music industry, but there's no place for retro. This time we have a good operation, and they can go up too. ”
Yin Zhongxin cares more about the music industry and understands it more deeply than Shi Zhenqiu.
After listening to his words, I pondered for a while, and I had to admit that what Shi Zhenqiu said was right.
"Let's tell me the story you want first. ”
Since Shi Zhenqiu plans to make a dramatic music video, in addition to good music, the story must also attract talents.
Seeing that everyone is willing to listen, Shi Zhenqiu said in detail.
"As I said earlier, the story is from the perspective of a middle-aged housewife's memories. You think, when a woman reaches middle age, she only has to do housework all day long, taking care of her husband and children, which is very hard. But weren't they young? When they were young, they were also beautiful flowers, and they also had beautiful youth. Therefore, these middle-aged women will definitely recall their best years from time to time. This is the sense of resonance, and starting from this perspective, it will definitely make many middle-aged people empathize. ”
This is absolutely true, and Yoon Jong-shin and Kim Hyung-seok are all busy nodding.
They also came from a young age, and now they often lament the passing of youth.
Even people like them who are still successful are like this, what about ordinary people?
Only Su Yan and the others didn't feel so strongly, they were still young after all, they were enjoying a good time, and they didn't know what their age of flowers meant.
Shi Zhenqiu didn't care either, and continued his train of thought.
"In this case, there is a need for a middle-aged woman to play the MV. ”
With that, he looked at Sapphire Blue.
"Fifteen years old, does your mother Li Meiying's predecessors have a schedule? I think she is the most suitable to play this role. ”
Shi Zhenqiu watched the MV of "Roly Poly" through the information. He didn't know any of the actresses, so he probably found them randomly.
But Baolan's mother Li Meiying is a very famous actor and an acquaintance, wouldn't it be more convenient if she could be invited?
Baolan doesn't know if her mother is busy or not, but she also wants to star in the work with her mother.
"I called and asked. ”
Shi Zhenqiu waved his hand and stopped her.
"Don't worry, just contact you later. ”
This character is the soul, but not very important. Even if Lee Mi-young can't act, it's nothing to change people, so Shi Zhenqiu is not in a hurry.
Next, Shi Zhenqiu slowly told the plot of the MV.
The story of the MV of "Roly Poly" is very strong, and even if you listen to it, you can form a substantial picture in your mind.
"As for this MV, not only the songs are retro, but also the scenes, shapes, dances, etc., all of which have a retro flavor. To put it bluntly, it's completely retro. ”
This song, not only is the melody retro, but the dance is the culmination of various dances in the 90s. The matching of the costumes is also very thoughtful, almost a reproduction of the scene of the 90s.
These are all classic parts, and Shi Zhenqiu doesn't need to change them without authorization.
The overall idea came out, and everyone in mystic89 was very satisfied with it, and there were no superfluous ideas.
"That's it, the return now officially begins. Everyone was nervous, and the preparation period for this time was only one and a half months, and it had to be completed by October. ”
Originally, it was said that it would be good to return in August, but because of Ji-yeon's injury, it was delayed for so long.
Now it seems that it is already very hard to be able to return in October.
But if you think about it, it's actually not bad to return in October.
Because if you return in October, the cycle will be at least more than a month, and if the effect is good, two months is also possible.
In this way, it will be directly at the end of the year.
At that time, "Roly Poly" was on the cusp, and the results were there, and no one could ignore them.
In addition, Shi Zhenqiu is still a little selfish.
Because if you return in October, it just happened to collide with Girls' Generation.
He has been informed that Girls' Generation is working on a mini-album that will also return in October.
Although I don't know what kind of work it is, but just rushing to the kind of thing like "oh!" at the beginning of this year, Shi Zhenqiu really doesn't believe that "Roly Poly" will lose.
In other words, it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
If T-Ara defeats Girls' Generation in a head-to-head showdown, who would dare not give it to the year-end Music Awards?
Although he had his own relatives Yun'er in Girls' Generation, as the director of mystci89, Shi Zhenqiu still has to think about his artists.
Let's make this head-to-head showdown a ladder for T-ARA to take off.
"In this MV, there is also a DJ character. Originally, I was going to star in person, but maybe time doesn't allow. Baolan, ask your father, if the seniors of Quanying Road would like to make a cameo. ”
Sapphire blue turned one.
"Director, even if it's my family, I'll pay the performance fee, right?"
No matter how she looked at it, she felt that Shi Zhenqiu seemed to be using her family affection to summon free labor.
If it was normal, she didn't care.
But the question is, her father and mother are divorced, is it really suitable to appear in a MV?
How embarrassing it would have been if I had seen it on the set.
Knowing her thoughts, Shi Zhenqiu explained.
"Don't worry, they can't see it, the venue is different, and the shooting is not on the same day. And the company will also give the acting fee. ”
Anyway, Lee Mi-young and Jeon Young Lu are both artists. Invite others to act, and it can't be said if you don't pay for the performance.
Yin Zhongxin asked with concern: "When will you be able to make a demo?" With the song, Mr. Pei is good at choreographing. ”
Pei Yunjing doesn't understand music, and she can't read music very well. Without melody, it's hard for her to choreograph a proper dance.
Shi Zhenqiu had other ideas.
"As for the demo, I'll stay up late tonight and try to make it before noon tomorrow. When it comes to dancing, I'll demonstrate it again. ”
Pei Yunjing is very good at choreographing sexy and domineering dances, but this kind of retro dance, Shi Zhenqiu is really afraid that she will get out of shape.
The dance moves in "Roly Poly" are actually not unusual, and if you look closely, you can find a shadow in the dance of the 90s.
The challenge is how to program these familiar movements together and turn them into a smooth set of movements.
This can only be done by Shi Zhenqiu, who has cheated and watched the MV, and he will demonstrate the key actions, and then Pei Yunjing will be responsible for the final synthesis.
But hearing his thoughts, Li Dakui was startled.
"Are you going to stay up late? Is your body able to take it? Isn't it about to compete over there for the Infinite Challenge? ”
Although he is no longer Shi Zhenqiu's agent, Li Dakui has always paid attention to Shi Zhenqiu's activities.
He knew that the wrestling special of "Infinite Challenge" had already set a date for the show. And he also bought a ticket, planning to go to the scene to support a wave.
In the past two days, Shi Zhenqiu has to stay up late, and Li Dakui is really afraid that his body will not be able to bear it.
Although he doesn't understand e, he also knows that that kind of exercise is very physically demanding. If you don't have enough strength and get hurt, you'll be in trouble.
Shi Zhenqiu shook his head, obviously thinking about it too.
"It's okay, just this night, I'll adjust after that. ”
There are still three days left before the day of the performance, and there is still time for it.
He had to make the song "Roly Poly" before the performance. As for the dance, that's just after the Pro Wrestling special.
In the past year, Shi Zhenqiu has suffered a lot for this wrestling special, and everyone has seen it.
Yin Zhongxin was concerned: "No matter what, remember not to get hurt." On the day of the game, we will go to the scene to cheer. ”
Hearing everyone's concern, Shi Zhenqiu's heart was also warm.
"Don't worry, we've been practicing for so long, and we won't let everyone down. ”
Then he thought of something and said to T-ara, "By the way, on the day of the competition, you have to go to the scene too." In addition to the assistant acting, I also want to foil me. ”
Because he has a lot of relationships with many female artists in the entertainment industry, these guys called him when they decided on the nickname: the ugly chair king.
It means a man who is ugly but attractive and popular with women.
For this nickname, Shi Zhenqiu was very satisfied except for the ugly word.
It's much better than Park Myung-so's "One Head and Two Flavors", Jung Jun-ha's "Mother-in-law Strongly Opposes", and Yoo Jae-seok's "There's Below".
But because of this nickname, when he appears, he must conform to his image.
That is to be surrounded by beautiful women and enjoy the glory of being surrounded by beautiful women.
Come to think of it, it's clear that T-Ara is the best way to do this.
And there will be a performance in that day's competition. As a popular girl group nowadays, their appearance will paint a layer of rosy color on sweat and tears.
When I heard that I could make an appearance in "Infinite Challenge", So-yeon and the others were also happy.
