Chapter Ninety-Four: A Reluctant Invitation

By the time I met Krystal, the lyrics were already about 70% complete, so Lee didn't go to s.m. anymore after working at MBC, but just rushed back and forth between home and the studio for two days to finalize the final draft.

Of course, during the period, I also contacted Krystal, as if after Li Zhixian recognized her achievements in person from the last time I met, her desire to create was ignited, and she even took the initiative to call Li Zhixian when she was free or inspired, but every time the two of them hung up after saying what they should say, there was no extra chat.

Finally, on Wednesday, Lee and Huang Productions made an appointment to submit the first draft of the full lyrics this morning, while Lee Ji-hyun was sending a message on the subway to S.M.

"Busy?"

"No, what's wrong?" The other party replied quickly, and it could be seen that he was not working.

"I haven't seen you in a long time, I'm going to S.M. this morning and have dinner together?"

This time, the other side hesitated for a while before replying, "Today, our head of office is back to the company, and we are just going to have a travel meeting, and Taeyeon and I are also at the company in the morning." What time does your end there? ”

Li Zhixian thought about it, but it was just the acceptance of the lyrics, and it wouldn't take too much time, so he typed and replied: "It's about 11 o'clock." ”

"It may be late for us here, send me a message when you are done, wait for us later!"

"Good!"

β€œ^_^”

Li Zhixian put away his mobile phone, and his head was already thinking about the noon menu.

Thirty minutes later, Mr. Lee arrived at Mr. Wong's office.

As soon as they met, Huang was happy: "It seems that I haven't seen any other clothes on you except sportswear." You even have to wear a cardigan sweatshirt with short sleeves. ”

Li Zhixian smiled: "It's more comfortable to wear like this." ”

After revealing this topic, Huang Chuan said: "But you're quite fast!" ”

It's really fast, the first title song is still no news, although there is still a layer of sophisticated production considerations, but in comparison, Li Zhixian's speed is much faster.

"Okay, Krystalxi has done a lot of work."

Speaking of this, Huang Productions is interested, even if you are a producer, the gossip curiosity is no different from ordinary people: "I heard that you basically approved the lyrics she wrote, but made simple changes?" ”

Li Zhixian is not surprised, after half a year's work, he has become accustomed to the gossip nature of people in the entertainment industry, and he is still preparing relevant materials, while saying: "Well, there was such a plan, and Krystalxi's idea is indeed very distinctive. ”

"Then I'm going to have to take a good look at the level of the finished work." Huang Productions took the A4 paper handed by Li Zhixian and read it from the beginning, not playing the sound source like Krystal last time, he is a professional, and I don't know how many times I have listened to it these days, and all the melodies have long been memorized.

It's only two hundred words, and I'm done reading it quickly, as a famous music producer, my eyes naturally don't need to be suspicious, but after reading it once, I understand that this is another good work, and after putting down the page, I sighed: "It's really good, although the word formation and terminology are a little naΓ―ve, but this is undoubtedly the closest way to the theme." I didn't expect her to have this talent. ”

"Tuk Tuk!"

Li Zhixian was about to speak, when he was suddenly interrupted by a knock on the door.

"Please come in!"

"Oh? Zhixian Xi is also there! ”

It was Representative Huang, who he hadn't seen for a long time, who greeted him, and Krystal followed behind him, and after seeing Li Zhixian, the corners of his mouth pulled out a slight arc and bowed to greet him, no longer the cold appearance when they first met.

"Inside, Huang represents a long time no see!"

Lee Ji-hyun politely returned the salute, I haven't seen each other for a long time, and the people I have been in contact with recently are Lee Joo-young, and I almost forgot about him, the head of the f(x) responsible office.

"I heard you've been busy lately, huh? I do three shows and go back and forth between MBC and s.m. every day. Representative Huang greeted Li Zhixian as if no one was around, and talked about the gossip he heard from nowhere.

Three shows? Not two anymore?

Huang Productions and Krystal were shocked at the same time when they heard this, and he was reused by the TV station.

No matter what industry you are in, it is an eternal truth that a capable person can work harder, although he is more tired, but this is a signal from the TV station that he values his value. also strengthened his belief in befriending him.

Li Zhixian didn't care about his news, as long as he had a heart, it was easy to notice, but Li Zhixian didn't want his professional life to be too mixed with music work, so he just said indifferently while changing the topic: "It's just a mess." Why is Representative Huang free today? Isn't this usually the responsibility of Director Lee Joo-young? ”

Representative Huang was immediately brought into the topic by him, walked up to Li Zhixian and replied: "I heard that Zhuying said that Krystal personally participated in the production of the lyrics this time, and I happened to be in the company, so I wanted to come over to verify it." ”

Huang Sho suddenly interjected: "Zhixian and I were still talking about this topic just now. ”

"How?" Representative Huang asked the question he was most concerned about, and the purpose of the trip, Krystal also looked at Huang with expectant eyes, eager to receive the same recognition from him.

"Very nice. And most importantly, the lyrics are perfect for that! Huang's answer was like a reassuring pill for Krystal, exhaling that the same recognition is a different concept, and only by being recognized by the company's senior decision-makers can he truly experience the sense of substance, as if he was given a certificate. At this time, he did not forget the hero of the award and cast a grateful look at Li Zhixian, but the other party obviously did not pay attention to her, but only focused on the conversation.

"That's good, I was startled when I first heard Zhu Ying say it, I thought she was going to come nonsense again, you haven't seen the words she wrote before, it's really ......"

After receiving confirmation from Huang Production, Representative Huang did not plan to check the lyrics anymore and diverted the topic to the side.

It's not that I don't trust Li Zhixian, otherwise I wouldn't have begged him to make it, but when people have doubts, they will always subconsciously look for some authority to verify, just like the attending physician in the doctor system is also the attending physician to appear secure, and the scholar will only look knowledgeable when he becomes a gray-haired professor, which is the stereotyped thinking of the prejudice of the whole society, and it is impossible to reverse it because of one person.

"Hehe~" Huang Productions also smiled, he knew the allusion that Krystal had been reprimanded for trying to compose lyrics before, "But this time it's really different, I've just read the revised finished version, and it can basically be used as an official lyrics." Zhixian's efficiency is still very reassuring. ”

Representative Huang was completely relieved and said with peace of mind: "That's good." ”

When the company was busy, he also didn't rest, related to the activities of the return period, coordinated the production of other songs on the album, especially the production of the first title song, and after the preliminary work was prepared, he had to contact the distribution, design the character concept modeling, MV shooting and other busy work, and it seemed a certain relief to him to be able to end part of it as soon as possible.

Just as everyone was discussing the lyrics and when to prepare for the trial recording, a discordant voice came out.

"That...... I have a reluctant request, I don't know whether to say it or not. ”
