Chapter 69: Kim Tae-hyun's First Song
Kim Tae-hyun returned to the crew the day after getting together with Kim Jong-kook, although Kim Tae-hyun returned to the crew, but there was still no role for him that day, this scene at Kyung Hee University was mainly to shoot the scenes of Cho In-sung and Son Ye-jin, it can be said that the filming in the second half of the movie is not much of a big deal for Kim Tae-hyun, which is also the benefit of the two male leads, like when filming in Busan, Cho In-sung is also as idle as Kim Tae-hyun. The only thing that suffers the most is Son Ye-jin, although she is also a double heroine, but Son Ye-jin plays two roles by herself, and she has to film with Cho In-sung after filming with Kim Tae-hyun.
After Kim Tae-hyun came to the crew, the crew had not started filming yet, but Kwak Jae-yong, as the director, arrived at the crew early as usual, and Kim Tae-hyun found Kwok Jae-yong who was directing the set as soon as he arrived at the crew because he had told Brother Xu good things before.
"In Brother Rong, I'm back." Kim Tae-hyun came to Kwak Jae-yong and said.
"Inside, just come back, you don't have to report to me every time you come back, as long as you don't have your role, I don't care where you want to go, don't make me look like a dictator." Guo Zairong said with a smile.
"Ne, in Brother Rong, I have something I want to discuss with you." Kim Tae-hyun also said with a smile.
"Okay, then you go to the rest area and wait for a while, I'll come to you after I'm done here." After Guo Zairong finished speaking, he continued to direct the set.
Kim Tae-hyun answered and went to the rest area to wait for Guo Zairong, to be honest, Kim Tae-hyun himself felt that his voice in this life was good, although he was a little hoarse, but it didn't sound like he couldn't hear clearly, Kim Tae-hyun felt that his voice was the same as Bruno, who was called 'Brother Mars' in his previous life. Mars's voice is similar. Therefore, although Kim Tae-hyun has not studied systematically in terms of singing, Kim Tae-hyun believes that he can break through with this voice and the divine comedies he knows in his previous life.
"Tell me, what do you want to discuss with me?" Kim Tae-hyun didn't wait long, and Guo Jae-yong came to sit opposite Kim Tae-hyun and said.
"Didn't Brother Rong mention to me before that the soundtrack of the movie is ready? I wanted to combine these soundtracks with the movie promo for the company to release first, and now the company has nothing to do except for the filming of this movie, and Brother Xu has complained to me. Kim Tae-hyun said with a smile.
"I've chosen the soundtrack for the movie, these soundtracks are basically pure music, not suitable for distribution, and it also involves copyright issues, the only thing that has distribution value is an interlude, the whole production group feels that this song is good, the name is a bit long called "Me for You, You for Me", if you think it's okay, I'll give you the score." Guo Zairong thought for a while and said.
"Inside, in Brother Rong, let's do this, you give me the score and lyrics first, I'll take it back to the company first to see how the quality of the song is, if you can, we'll use this song as a promotional song." ・Kim Tae-hyun said directly.
"Okay, you can go to my assistant to get it, when you go to get it, take a copy of the shooting plan for this period of time by the way, you will be free to move around during this time, just remember your shooting time and come back to shoot, if there is any change in the shooting plan, I will let you call to inform you." Kwak Jae-yong said to Kim Tae-hyun.
"Inside, then I'll go first." After Kim Tae-hyun finished speaking, he said goodbye to Kwak Jae-yong, came to Kwak Jae-yong's assistant and left the crew with the information of the episode.
After leaving the crew, Kim Tae-hyun came to the company, and when he came to the company, Kim Tae-hyun learned that the uncle had returned at the front desk, so Kim Tae-hyun did not go to Brother Xu first, but came to the uncle's office first.
"Taehyun is here, aren't you filming?" When the uncle saw that it was Kim Tae-hyun coming, he asked.
"Inside, after returning to Seoul, I didn't have much of a role, so Brother Rong gave me a long vacation, just to shoot on the day of my role." Kim Tae-hyun explained.
"So that's the case, but it's okay, I haven't been in the company during this time because I have to prepare for recruiting trainees, and you just came to the company to help during this vacation." After listening to Kim Taehyun's explanation, the uncle said.
"Inside? Is the company going to recruit trainees? What's going on? Kim Tae-hyun asked suspiciously.
"As far as you look like a shopkeeper, you haven't called to ask about the company's situation for more than a month since filming, I think you won't come to the company if there is nothing going on this time, right?" Uncle said in a helpless tone.
"Hehe, no, I don't believe in uncle! This time I will help in the company, uncle, you say that I will do whatever I want, no complaints! Kim Tae-hyun also felt a little embarrassed when he heard his uncle say this.
"Okay, I've already released the news that the company is going to recruit trainees, and I've done a good job of publicizing everything, and how many people can come in the end depends on the appeal of a few of you. The trainee selection starts next week, and today is already Saturday, so you just need to come forward and preside over the scene. It can also be regarded as company publicity. "Uncle doesn't have much hope for Kim Tae-hyun anymore.
"Inside, I'll be here then. By the way, are we holding a draft in the company? Kim Tae-hyun asked after agreeing to his uncle's request.
"I set the venue in front of the company." Uncle said.
"Why do you want to set the draft venue in front of the company, and what if there are too many people coming and there is a mess?" Kim Tae-hyun was puzzled by the uncle's decision to set the venue in an open-air place like the entrance of the company.
"You don't have to worry about security, I've already arranged it. The reason why we recruit trainees is because we want them to make their debut as artists after practice, as an artist, the stage table xiàn force is very important, although the stage table xiàn force can be slowly cultivated through guò the day after tomorrow, but for some people who are born with the stage table xiàn force will be easier to cultivate, of course, this is not our judging standard, our judging standard is still face, dance, voice. It can only be said that if you have more stage monetization, you will get a higher rating and have a higher status among the company's trainees. Uncle explained.
"Uncle, although what you said is also important, this shouldn't be the reason why the draft stage is set in an open place, right?" Kim Tae-hyun thought for a moment and said.
"Of course, this is certainly not the main reason, we as an emerging economic company, want to compete with **, JYP is unrealistic in a few years, the reason why these two companies can succeed is to continue to launch popular idols, these artists basically come from trainees, so trainees are very important, many children's first choice will be these companies, I set the stage outside this time also to let those children know that there are not only **, JYP these companies, but also our G2K! Announcing that we are coming to G2K! Uncle said with some excitement.
"Ne, I know, I will fully support you, uncle." Kim Tae-hyun was also infected by his uncle and said excitedly.
"That's it, you must be on time next week, you can go and get busy if you have anything!" After the uncle finished speaking, he didn't care about Kim Taehyun, but continued to deal with the text on the table.
Kim Tae-hyun didn't bother the uncle anymore, but left quietly, and after leaving the uncle's office, Kim Tae-hyun came to the opposite side and found Brother Xu who was preparing for next week's stage.
"Brother Xu, you have something to do in the studio now." Kim Tae-hyun said as he walked towards Brother Xu.
"It's Taehyun, Kim Taehyun, aren't you back in the crew? Why are you still in the company? After Brother Xu saw that it was Kim Taehyun, he asked with some confusion.
"Inside, I haven't had much drama since I returned to Seoul, and Brother Rong gave me a long vacation. Without further ado, you can go to the studio with me first. Kim Tae-hyun said impatiently.
"Okay, Xiao Li, you keep an eye on it first, I'll leave for something." After Brother Xu finished speaking, he took Kim Tae-hyun to the recording studio.
"Taehyun, is the promotional song of the movie coming out?" Brother Seo asked Kim Tae-hyun on the way to the recording studio.
"Inside, I've got the score and lyrics, and we'll go to the studio to hear how it goes." Kim Tae-hyun said with some excitement, after all, this time Kim Tae-hyun was going to sing by himself, just thinking about singing in the studio was enough for Kim Tae-hyun to be excited.
Brother Xu took Kim Tae-hyun to the recording studio quickly, and there were two staff members in the recording studio, after all, the recording equipment also often needed maintenance.
"You put this score up, let's hear how the song goes." After Brother Xu, Kim Tae-hyun and the two staff members greeted each other, Brother Xu took out the score and said to the staff.
"Inside, it'll be fine right away." The staff member said after taking the score.
"Brother Xu, it's been burned, the next step is to use the computer synthesized sound to audition or let people audition." The staff quickly burned the score and asked Brother Xu.
"Brother Xu, I want to try. I'd like to audition. Kim Tae-hyun said suddenly.
"Huh? Taehyun, can you read the score now? Can you grasp the tone? Brother Xu frowned and asked.
"I can understand the score, I've only been learning to read the music for a few days, and although I don't know much about the tone of the instrument, there's no problem with letting me sing the tone I should have." Kim Tae-hyun said affirmatively.
"Alright then, you'll try it first." Brother Xu agreed after hearing Kim Tae-hyun say this.
Kim Tae-hyun walked into the recording studio with the score, put on headphones, looked at the beginning of the score and wrote "I am for you, you are for me", took a deep breath, calmed down the excitement in his heart, and made an 'OK' gesture to the outside.
The guitar prelude sounded in the recording studio, and Kim Tae-hyun counted the beats and sang with his heart:
You are a beautiful memory for me
Reminiscing about our precious youthful days
Treasure this picture without regrets
You are to me the shining sunshine that illuminates my lonely days
In the palm of your little white hand
Make a promise that is as eternal as a gemstone
Kim Tae-hyun waited for Brother Xu outside to make a gesture before taking off the headphones, and Kim Tae-hyun came to the recording studio to see Brother Xu and the two staff members discussing something.
"Brother Xu, how is the effect?" Kim Tae-hyun asked a little nervously.
"How so? Why didn't I find it so good to sing in your boy's slightly hoarse voice before! From your boy's singing, it reminds me of the feeling of first love back then. Guo Zairong said with a smile.
"Ahh Isn't there anything bad about it? Kim Tae-hyun asked embarrassedly as he was praised.
"Of course I have, but it's not a big problem, maybe because of your nervous relationship, some places don't seem to be smooth, and a few places are also wrong beats, but overall it's still very good, let's record a few more times now." Brother Xu also pointed out Kim Tae-hyun's shortcomings.
"Inside, then try a few more times." Kim Tae-hyun came to the recording studio again after he got off.
Then Kim Tae-hyun felt more and more, and he didn't have the tension he had at the beginning, and finally finished recording before dark.
