Chapter 4: Like a Star
“cry,cry,can’tyouseethemusic……”
Jin Haoyu pressed his thumb on the steering wheel and connected the phone: "Hey? ”
"Why?" A trembling voice came from the other end of the phone.
"What, why?"
"That painting... Why do you want to draw it like that...? Are you sarcastic about me? Or are you laughing at me? A faint hint of anger echoed in the car.
"Why do you think I'm laughing at you?" He asked rhetorically, frowning.
"Now I'm asking you! Why am I answering your question!! You say! What the hell do you mean!! The voice on the other side of the phone was getting louder and louder, mixed with the sound of violent gasps.
"Alas..."Kim Ho-woo sighed: "Kim Taeyeon, Kim Taeyeon, haven't you woken up from the wine you drank yesterday?" Should I say that you have low self-esteem or should I say that you are stupid, why am I sarcastic about you, can you do it? I'm full, I have nothing to do, stay up all night, toss all night, just to ridicule you? You have persecution paranoia, right? ”
The voice on the other side paused for a moment, as if accepting the answer, and asked in a slightly flat tone, "Then what do you mean?" ”
Jin Haoyu said: "Do you remember what you said to me on the Han River Bridge in 2005? ”
There was silence on the other end of the line.
"You said you love singing and you don't want to give up this dream, so you have to work hard to make your debut and let everyone hear your singing."
"Look at yourself now!" There was hatred in his voice: "Singing in a small bar all day, you're out of breath, Kim Taeyeon, if I hadn't taken the initiative to ask you to sing a few OSTs, would you still be a singer?!" You are wasting the talent that God has given you, you know. ”
Suddenly there was an argument on the other side of the phone: "I didn't force you to sing to me OST..."
"Ashie, if I can't find someone else more suitable, I won't look for you, the Internet says that you are the OST queen, you think you are the number one in the world, Bai Zhiying is not old enough! Believe it or not, I'll turn around and clean you up now. ”
An inaudible murmur came from the other side.
"I'm too lazy to quarrel with you, I've said enough things in the past two years, so let's get down to business with you." Jin Haoyu pondered for a moment and said: "I will buy S.M's shares from Neowizbugs immediately, about 15% more, and then I will be the second largest shareholder besides Li Xiuman." I will convince the Council to accept the plan to restart Girls' Generation. When the time comes, I will personally take care of your operations and album production. But! If you Kim Tae-yeon can't overcome the phobia of the camera and perform on stage, then I will give up Girls' Generation, and FX is also an option, isn't it? ”
Jin Haoyu sighed, "If you haven't given up on your stage dream, this is your last chance." If you choose to give up, then I won't say it's nothing, but I won't ask you to cooperate with OST in the future. Because you're no longer the Kim Taeyeon I know, if you lose even your passion for singing, I think the emotion in your voice will disappear too. ”
The person on the other side of the phone seemed to be shocked by the content of this paragraph, and he didn't react for a long time, until a long time later, he said: "Aren't all the contracts of the members of Girls' Generation terminated, how do you reorganize Girls' Generation?" ”
"It's worthy of being the captain, when do you worry about the team first, don't worry about not worrying about yourself not having an OST to sing?" Jin Haoyu said in a slightly mocking tone: "It's not your turn to worry about this kind of problem, I will solve it." Now it's up to you whether Girls' Generation can resume the activity or not, and you don't have to rush to give me an answer, I'll give you time to think about it slowly, and call me when you're ready. I still have something to do, so I won't talk about it yet. ”
After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone without saying anything and continued to drive towards Cheongdam-dong.
Kim Taeyeon sat on the couch with her phone in her hand, she never dreamed that things would be like this. Looking back at the painting in the corner, I couldn't come back to my senses for a long time
I saw that the face of the painting has long been renewed, under the spotlight with smart brushwork to depict the image of nine lively and jumping girls, the gorgeous colors of the stage make people feel psychedelic, and the original black tone of the audience is now faintly flashing countless pink points of light, at first glance it looks like the night sky is full of flying fireflies, and like a starry midsummer night, exuding a little pink light, making people full of yearning and hope...
Mr. Kim's car slowly parked in the parking lot of a tall office building in Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam.
V.M, is the abbreviation of Variety.Music, which means diverse music. This is a record company that focuses on the production of OST zuò, and there are no artists under it, only a small number of composers, lyricists and arrangers, and there is only one producer, Kim Ho-woo, who also serves as the chairman of this company.
Without a huge organization, there would be no need for huge workspaces, and V.M only rented a few offices on the top floor of the building.
After smiling and greeting the front desk lady, Jin Haoyu walked into his studio. A wide variety of musical instruments and composition instruments fill the space, and behind a large glass is a recording studio with an area of more than 10 square meters.
He began to sit in front of the computer and carefully polish the song "Like a Star" that he had written before. The lyrics and music are all over, and only the work of arranging the music remains. Generally speaking, the person in charge of composition and arrangement is not the same person, Kim Ho-woo is good at composing but not very proficient in arranging. But he wanted to finish the song himself, because it represented Kim Taeyeon's reappearance on stage and her rebirth
Not long after he started working, Kim Haoyu was interrupted by a knock on the door.
"Chairman Kim." Pushing the door in was Lee Jung-woo, who was in charge of the marketing department, and although he was in his 30s, his clean and tidy face made him look full of energy and passion.
"I'm sorry to interrupt the president's work, but there are some things that need to be reported to you."
Jin Haoyu nodded and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"We have been contacted by HB zuò and hope that we can produce a zuò OST album for their Mizuki drama on SBS early next year."
"Oh, SBS's Mizuki drama, who is the PD and the writer?"
"Cho Rongguang PD and Su Hyunjing writers."
"Su Xianjing's works have always been expected, and she had a very happy collaboration with "Splendid Legacy" before, so make an appointment with them to meet and talk." Jin Haoyu replied with satisfaction.
"Okay." Li Zhengyu answered and exited the room
Today seems to be Kim Ho-woo's Good Friday, and the work that has just been carried out for a while was interrupted by the sound of the door opening.
Kim Ho-woo stared in annoyance at a head full of mischievous expressions that emerged from behind the door. Long black hair and appropriate black eye makeup make her face look much more mature and charming than the actual age of 18 years old, and her appearance similar to South Korea's first beauty Kim Tae-hee made her attract attention as soon as she debuted, and she was called Little Kim Tae-hee, but she herself was extremely distressed by this.
Kim Ho-woo looked at Park Ji-yeon speechlessly and asked, "What are you doing here?" Don't have an itinerary today? ”
Park Ji-yeon shook her head and said, "I'm on leave." As soon as he finished speaking, as if he remembered something, he asked him with an unhappy face: "Why did OPPA ignore me, didn't answer the phone, and replied to the text message short and slow?" ”
Jin Haoyu grinned and said: "Aren't I busy recording an album for Zhien, it's a rule that you can't bring a mobile phone when you enter the studio, and you don't understand." ”
"OPPA, don't lie to me." Park Ji-yeon snorted and said with a face full of disbelief: "I will contact Ji-eun before I look for you every time, OPPA must have had time at that time." ”
"Didn't I still have the OST recording of Athena: Goddess of War at that time?" Kim Haoyu quibbled.
"I don't believe it. And..."Park Ji-yeon suddenly looked at him angrily: "Which wild woman did you go to drink with yesterday?" Zhien has sued me, you confess honestly, otherwise be careful I will sue Master sù that you go to nightclubs every day to fool around with women. ”
"Hey." Jin Haoyu raised his hand in surrender: "I don't go to nightclubs every day, if you talk nonsense to Abba and go home, I will be beaten to death." ”
Seeing that this tried and tested trick was still working, Park Ji-yeon sat on the sofa with her hands on her chest and said, "Then oppa is not quick to say." ”
"It's a friend who got drunk, and I went to help send it back, and I didn't drink." Kim Ho-woo had to answer.
"Okay, it's Kim Taeyeon again, isn't it? She is not your wife, she writes songs for her and takes care of other people's lives, oppa, are you plotting against her. Park Ji-yeon glared at him angrily.
"Be careful when you speak, Taeyeon is 5 years older than you, why don't you use honorifics? If you treat your seniors like this and are found out and spread out, don't want to mix in the circle. Kim Ho-woo glared back at Park Ji-yeon and said.
"Hmph~" She glanced at Jin Haoyu and muttered in a low voice: "Be a thief." ”
Kim Ho-woo didn't bother to pay attention to him, so he decided to skip the topic and asked, "How is the TV series filmed?" Tired or not? ”
"Now that the filming is over, OPPA is more concerned, and I haven't seen you visit the class at the beginning." Park Ji-yeon said dissatisfied.
"Yikes! You're here to find fault today, can you talk well? ”
Park Ji-yeon pouted with a stalk around her neck and said, "I'm here to find fault!" What do you think? ”
Jin Haoyu scratched his hair with a headache and got up, unscrewed a bottle of her favorite vitamin water drink and handed it to her, saying, "I've really been too busy lately to be like this, I promise it won't be okay in the future." ”
Seeing that his attitude of admitting his mistake was not bad, Park Ji-yeon drank a drink and responded: "The ghost only believes you, forget it this time, but you have to compensate for the damage to my young heart." ”
Seeing this, Jin Haoyu hurriedly agreed: "I'll invite you to eat barbecue." For this little girl who has been learning taekwondo with him since she was a child, he really can't get angry with a straight face, but he knows her biggest weakness, which is... She's a foodie!
"It must be Han Niu, with a good heart!" Park Ji-yeon shouted.
Jin Haoyu nodded helplessly and agreed: "But it's just past noon now, have you had lunch?" ”
Park Ji-yeon lowered her head and rubbed her stomach when she heard this, and said, "In order to pretend to be sick and ask for leave, I only ate a little bit... So hungry."
Jin Haoyu couldn't help rolling her eyes when she heard this, thinking that she was really cruel to herself, and she was willing to go hungry.
He opened his mouth and said to Park Ji-yeon: "You play with your mobile phone for a while first, and I'll go to eat barbecue after I'm done with this arrangement." ”
Park Ji-yeon said curiously when she heard this: "What song?" Put the demo and listen to it? ”
Kim Ho-woo agreed: "I sang the guidesong, called "Likeastar". ”
As he operated, a low, slightly magnetic male voice sounded, as if containing infinite affection...
"No matter where you are hiding in the world, I can find you."
"Without you, without you, my heart would stop beating because of this."
……
"As long as I have you, as long as I have you, I don't want anything."
“youaremyeverythingtome,youaremyeverythingtome。”
"Shining brightly like the stars in the sky."
……
"It's a good song, is OPPA going to be included on T-Ara's next album?" Park Ji-yeon asked happily.
Kim Ho-woo shook his head: "This song is a collaboration between men and women, and I am going to release it as a digital single." ”
"Cooperation? With whom? How about Oppa sing with me? Park Ji-yeon exclaimed excitedly, as if thinking of the scene where she and Kim Ho-woo sang affectionately on stage.
"You?" Jin Haoyu glanced at her and said, "Your singing skills are not enough, you can't control it, it's almost the same if you change Su Yan." You'd better dance and act honestly. "Park So-yeon, as the lead singer of T-ara, is unmatched in the group, and Park Ji-yeon is the lead dancer and popularity, and her singing skills belong to the average Cheng dù.
Park Ji-yeon pouted unhappily and said, "Then who is OPPA going to work with?" She thought for a moment, then suddenly jumped up and asked incredulously, "Is it Kim Taeyeon again?!" ”
"I've told you to use honorifics!" Jin Haoyu squinted at her and said, "You are more than eight streets behind Taeyeon's singing skills, what is there to be unwilling." ”
Park Ji-yeon twisted her head unhappily and ignored him, thinking that as long as she sings, she will be Kim Tae-yeon, and you will be all I have... It's annoying to just forget it together.
However, she thought about it for a while, and suddenly remembered Kim Tae-yeon's phobia of the camera, so she put her mind at ease.
Since the scene he was most worried about would not appear, Park Ji-yeon's expression turned cloudy and clear, and she walked to the sofa on the side and played with her mobile phone in an unknown tone, no longer disturbing Kim Ho-woo's work.
Jin Haoyu looked at her strangely, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that he really didn't understand the girl's world, so he concentrated on making up the tune.
