Chapter 592: Persistence
"Can you get some face?"
Zheng Chengxian bounced off the ground as if he had been stepped on by someone, and pointed at Kim Jong Kook angrily: "If someone can ask for your job, you will be the only one in the whole world." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
The two have known each other for a long time, and they have intersected with each other, so Zheng Chengxian speaks more casually. And Kim Jong Kook will also be angry because of these things, sat up with a smile and shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and said a little scoundrelly:
"You said it, I'm the only one in the world. Then the only person in the whole world has begged to come to your door, are you embarrassed to refuse? ”
"I ......"
Zheng Chengxian was speechless for a while, and there was a sense of detachment from the punch that hit the air.
Kim Jong Kook patted Jung Sung-hyun on the shoulder and said generously: "Actually, I had something to tell you this time, but I forgot about it after a while." ”
Speaking of playing smoothly, he scratched his head and smiled a little embarrassedly.
"What's the matter?"
Zheng Chengxian was full of anger and asked without looking.
"Does your company still sign singers?"
"What? Do you want to come? ”
"Hmm!"
Kim Jong Kook didn't twist either, and simply nodded and admitted:
"My contract with the original company is about to expire, and I don't plan to renew it."
"Then how do you think about my PT? As you know, I've offended a lot of people lately, so it's not a good time to turn around. Zheng Chengxian was surprised, he didn't expect the Admiralty Congress to jump to his own company at this time.
"How so?"
Kim Jong Kook scratched his head in embarrassment, thought for a moment and then said:
"First, I want to express my gratitude. You've helped me a lot since we met. Whether it's "Sugar" before leaving, or variety shows after retiring from the army, it has nothing to do with you. If it weren't for you, I might have slowly disappeared from the audience's sight after I was discharged from the army, like many artists. So, I've always wanted to find an opportunity to thank you. ”
It's hard for him to remember what happened so early, and Zheng Chengxian was moved. Some people are like that, and it seems that they don't say much about helping you, in fact, they all take it to heart. When there is an opportunity, it will pour out.
Kim Jong Kook is not intended to be this kind of person.
"Brother, it's too much to say this."
He is so formal, Zheng Chengxian is not good at smiling anymore, and said with sincerity in his eyes:
"I still remember the first time we met, I expressed that I admired you as a person and wanted to make friends with you. Since they are friends, don't worry too much about the gains and losses, otherwise the friends will change their taste. ”
Kim Jong Kook was silent, his eyes looked a little stunned, as if he didn't care about anything.
But Mr. Jung knew it was a sign of his self-preservation. He is not good at expressing feelings, and when he needs to reveal his true feelings, he will become wooden. looks stupid, but in fact doesn't know how to express it, and anyone who is close to Kim Jong Kook knows this.
Of course, Zheng Chengxian also understands that he said jokingly:
"Brother, if you really want to thank me, hurry up and find me a sister-in-law. I just said that if you chase girls, I will support you unconditionally. Don't you love to sing? I promise to write love songs that you can sing until the girl vomits, and each one is not the same. ”
With the world's entertainment resources in hand, Jung Sung-hyun is confident that he can do just that.
But listening to Kim Jong Kook's ears, it was completely different, and he couldn't help but glare at Zheng Chengxian: "Is my singing so ugly, can I hear everyone vomit!" ”
"Hehe~ Of course, it's not hard for my brother to sing." Zheng Chengxian replied with a smile: "It's just that the voice is too small, and the girls have to listen attentively to hear it clearly." In the long run, the mental wear and tear is very great, so it is not surprising that you will vomit. ”
"Nonsense!"
Kim Jong Kook scolded with a smile, and the little dullness before was gone. Continuing the previous topic, he said: "Another reason why I want to go to your company has something to do with the preparation of the album I said earlier. ”
He cleared his throat and continued:
"I like to sing, you know, but at the moment my work is focused on variety shows, and I don't have much time to make albums. And the company also wanted me to concentrate on the show, and there was a vague intention that I didn't support me to continue singing, so I didn't want to stay any longer. ”
"I see~"
Zheng Chengxian nodded suddenly, and then said to him with some embarrassment: "Brother, the following words may not be very good, maybe you will be angry after hearing it, but I still have to say it." ”
"What do you say?" Jin Zhongguo looked at him strangely and urged: "What are you talking about?" What else to be embarrassed about with me. ”
After a few words brewed in his mind, Zheng Chengxian opened his mouth and said:
"I remember when we first met when you came back from the army, I said that. Since then, Korean music has gradually tended to pop culture, focusing on handsome men and beautiful women, singing and dancing, and your style is a little outdated. In the past two years, you should have also seen that the big hits are all those young boys and girls, singing fast-paced songs. In the field of lyrical slow songs, there are not no standouts, but there are very few. ”
Kim Jong Kook's eyes dimmed for a moment, he actually noticed it himself, but he didn't want to admit it. After carefully glancing at his face, Jung Sung-hyun relieved himself and continued: "
"It's not that you don't sing well, or the song is bad, but that's how the times are. Nowadays, people's lives are too stressful, and everything is fast-paced. Few people are willing to listen to a singer who is not outstanding in appearance, and listen to him sing there alone. ”
"You mean, lyrical songs will go unheard in the future?"
Kim Jong Kook's face was ugly, he could understand Zheng Sung-hyun's words, but he couldn't accept it. The lyrical songs that once made him brilliant would decline, which he could never accept.
"It won't go unnoticed, but the audience will be much smaller than it used to be." Zheng Chengxian replied categorically: "Although it seems that there is still some market now, this market will continue to decrease in the future." Like Carpenter, the Beatles......"
"They're all classics~"
Kim Jong Kook said unconvinced.
"Yes, I admit it."
Zheng Chengxian nodded in agreement:
"I have never denied that they are classics, but classics need to be experienced slowly and carefully savored, and it is really difficult for you to let these urban men and women who are busy with study, work, and family every day spend time savoring classics. Occasionally, they do take the time to sit and enjoy it, but more often than not, they prefer to listen to pop songs because of the simplicity and the good mood. ”
Kim Jong Kook fell silent and did not speak for a long time.
He knew that what Zheng Chengxian said was right, and he wanted to refute it out of his intention, but he couldn't refute it. For a while, my heart was filled with sentimentality about the good old days. Seeing him like this, Zheng Chengxian couldn't bear it, and persuaded softly:
"I'm not saying this to stop you from singing. Rather, I want you to understand one thing, and that is.." Speaking of this, he hesitated, really unwilling to say the following words, but out of a responsible attitude towards his friends, he had to say:
"The era of the Triple Crown is over, and the glory of being a singer is gone. It's okay if you want to sing, I can help you write a lot of good music, but no matter how hard you try, you can't reach the heights you used to have. It's not that you can't, it's that the times are different! ”
After saying these words, the two of them didn't say anything again for a while.
After a long while, Jung Sung-hyun asked, "Now that you know the situation you are going to face, do you still plan to sing?" ”
"Hmm!"
The nostalgia and sadness in Kim Jong Kook's eyes were swept away, replaced by perseverance.
"I still want to sing, even if it can't be brilliant, but as long as there is one person who likes my singing, I can't give up." (To be continued.) )
