Chapter 62: Mainland Raiders II
At this time, Liu Haoxuan sat back in his office chair, and his brows couldn't help frowning: "I learned something about your situation from President Li, so naturally I admire President Li's decision. However, only two of the six of you are currently good at Chinese, and one of them is injured and temporarily unable to move, so it is very difficult to break out of the Celestial Empire. What's more, with your arrival, what you have done in Korea will be passed on accordingly. Therefore, you must have a certain amount of strength before the information is transmitted. In layman's terms, it is the grades. At present, your primary goal is to release records, but four of your members have not reached the ability to sing Chinese songs fluently. Therefore, my decision is to have Han Geng be the Chinese teacher for the four of you, and the healthy Ma Xiangyi is ready to produce a solo song. ”
The members all nodded, Liu Haoxuan had already analyzed the current situation quite clearly, naturally knew his own ability, and the four members who did not know Chinese naturally did not say much, but Han Geng was a little lost. Because if he hadn't been injured, he would have been the main player in the squad.
Seeing that the members did not object, Liu Haoxuan smiled lightly: "Let me ask you, are you familiar with the mainland market?" Do you have an understanding of the mainland market? ”
Ma Xiangyi and the others shook their heads, they didn't know much about the mainland at all. Liu Haoxuan glanced at Liu Yichen disapprehantly: "Yichen, come and talk to them, after all, you are familiar with South Korea."
Liu Yichen nodded, cleared his throat and said: "The Korean entertainment market is dominated by K-pop, focusing on visual effects, in which dance occupies the mainstream, and other music factors such as hiphop, jazz, lyrical, R&B, and rock genres complement each other, it can be said that the Korean entertainment market is almost mature." At present, the mainstream of the Celestial Empire market is only lyrical and rock, and compared with other major music genres, it is much behind. Therefore, if you want to gain a firm foothold in the Great Celestial Empire, you must conform to the mainland music market. It's not that you can't do K-pop music style, it's that you lack the right soil for K-pop survival, that is, fans. So, my suggestion is that at this stage your music style is better to stay lyrical or rock. I would venture to ask, have you ever been exposed to rock and roll? How about guitar, bass, and drum kits? ”
"Ahem, cough" Ma Xiangyi glanced blankly at the five brothers around him who kept coughing, then scratched his head and said: "I know the piano, I have won the championship of the Korean Youth Piano Competition, he also plays the guitar often, and I feel pretty good."
"Cough, cough, cough" When the five brothers heard Ma Xiangyi's words, they couldn't help coughing violently again.
Liu Yichen nodded and chuckled, looking at the five coughing members: "What about you?"
"I've studied piano." Choi Si Won.
"A little bit of a guitar." Art Voice.
"Ahem, you can only dance." Eunhyuk.
"I'm going to lose bass, I'm in the enlightenment stage." Han.
"I love the drum kit. It's just that I'll just ring it. "Shengmin.
Liu Yichen lightly covered his forehead, shook his head for a while and glanced at Liu Haoxuan, both of whom saw a trace of helplessness and burden in the other party's eyes. Then he shook his head and said, "Since that's the case, let's take the lyrical route." Ma Xiangyi, you get ready, the other four members who are not Chinese are temporarily assisted by Han Geng Chinese. ”
As soon as the members nodded, Liu Haoxuan frowned, and said worriedly: "If you want to become an instant hit, natural songs are the key." And for an unfamous group like you, the odds of getting a good song are not great. And S.M's influence in the Celestial Empire is not comparable to that of other large entertainment companies, so it is even more difficult to think of getting good songs. Speaking of this, Liu Haoxuan paused before saying: "It's better to be like this, if any of you have the ability to create, it is better to compose the lyrics and music yourself, no matter how good the quality of the song is, at least we have one more publicity gimmick." ”
"How many songs does that take?" Ma Xiangyi said lightly.
"If it's a single, it's better to have 2-3 songs. If you have the ability to create, find your own feel first, and we'll go to a well-known producer to create it for you. This two-pronged approach should make progress a little faster. Liu Yichen thought for a while.
"Okay, I'll try it. It's just that it's better to have me a piano, because it's the only one that inspires me. Ma Xiangyi nodded, and he agreed.
Company practice room
Ma Xiangyi has been sitting in front of the piano for a long time, he is not without a clue, on the contrary, he has a lot of inspiration in his mind, but these inspirations are too many and too messy, and he needs to pull them out little by little, and then follow the feeling.
Gently put his hands on the black and white keys, and pressed a few times at random, and the crisp sound of the piano came into his ears. Ma Xiangyi stopped, frowned slightly, and the bits and pieces with Zheng Xiuyan were staged in front of him. It's just that looking at the past scenes, it's hard to sort out the story with her. Suddenly, Nana's figure appeared in Ma Xiangyi's mind.
"oppa wolf hey" Looking at Nana who was gradually closing her eyes under her, Ma Xiangyi's heart turned a monstrous wave, it was he who didn't protect her, and it was he who made her suffer so badly.
In an instant, Ma Xiangyi's eyes were rosy, and the picture in front of him turned into a picture of Nana lying on the hospital bed. A fifteen-year-old girl is just like that and she is in a vegetative state and may never wake up again. The momentary emotional imbalance finally made Ma Xiangyi cry.
"Ding Ding Ting" fingers unconsciously pressed on the piano keys, suddenly waking up Ma Xiangyi, who was in self-blame. I moved my fingers on the piano a few more times, and I found that the sound of the piano was exceptionally beautiful. In an instant, Ma Xiangyi grasped this inspiration, closed his eyes and began to play with his consciousness.
One stay is three days, Ma Xiangyi has not been out of the practice room once in the past three days, and even forgot to eat. During this period, Liu Yichen came a few times with food, but found that he was engrossed in playing the piano. Liu Yichen knew that this was the moment when his emotions were gushing, so he didn't dare to disturb him. It's just that Liu Yichen is also a knowledgeable insider, just with the intermittent sound of the piano, he has a kind of intoxicated mood, and he feels that the little guy in front of him, who is still very strange, may really be a genius.
"How? Hasn't it come out yet? Liu Haoxuan said to Liu Yichen with a sad brow.
Liu Yichen was the same, shook his head and sighed helplessly: "Hey, no, it's been three days." If he doesn't come out, maybe he won't be able to hold on to himself and will be tired. ”
"I really didn't expect him to have such a talent to be able to play such a good piano. I really don't know how to do it, such a genius has been buried until now. Perhaps, they simply don't care? Liu Haoxuan couldn't help but say with pity.
"No, it's not." Liu Yichen shook his head and denied: "There are several producers in the headquarters, among which Yu Yongzhen is the most producer. Therefore, the headquarters does not care much about whether its trainees have creative ability. Therefore, it has created such a wrong aspect. What's more, I think Ma Xiangyi should belong to an emotional producer, such a producer may not have a work in his life, but as long as he is inspired, he may give us a big miracle. ”
"Is it really that exaggerated?" After hearing this, Liu Haoxuan couldn't help but say in surprise, he was quite optimistic about the ability of Liu Yichen, the agent who was exiled by the headquarters, and now that he heard his words, he couldn't help but have some expectations for Ma Xiangyi.
"It's just high, not low." Liu Yichen nodded, and then asked, "How is the progress on your side?"
"Hey" Wang Dawei sighed with a wry smile, got up from his seat, and said with a wry smile: "Do you think those great gods will sell the face of foreign companies?"
"Why don't you ask the headquarters for help? Let those producers in the main department make some songs? Liu Yichen said unrelentingly.
"Yichen, this is our chance, if we rely on the headquarters, then how can you and I get out of the current situation? Finally, there is a group of artists for us, if we can't make some achievements, how can we go back to the headquarters? I've had enough of exile like this. Liu Haoxuan looked at the night scene outside the window blankly, with a melancholy expression.
"Yikes. Why hasn't the busy come out yet? Cui Siyuan touched Yisheng's shoulder, and his tone was full of worry.
"Brother, let's go in and get him out, right? It's been three days, and if you don't come out, you'll die. Yisheng is also worried, but he is the second angry bag in the group besides Ma Xiangyi, so he will naturally be a little hesitant to do anything.
"Listen, how sad and heartbreaking this piece is, how helpless and sad it is. It's going to be a famous song, so let's not bother him to write it, I don't think he'll come out until it's done. Shengmin's face was in a trance, the sound of the qin was like an invisible knife, inserted into his heart, the more he listened attentively, the more he was driven by the sound of the qin to think about the story that the sound of the qin wanted to express.
"Just the sound of the piano makes people feel so uncomfortable, if it is accompanied by sad and tactful lyrics, wouldn't it hook people's tears out of their eyes all at once?" Cui Siyuan gradually got involved, and the more he listened, the more he felt an irresistible idea.
The tone of the "Dididi" piano slowed down until it stopped ringing. Cui Shiyuan and the others, look at me, I see that you don't know what happened, but suddenly the door was pushed open, and I saw Ma Xiangyi breaking out in embarrassment. Cui Siyuan couldn't help but be shocked when he looked over, only to see that Ma Xiangyi was soaked, and his eyes were even more red and scary, not to mention, what really frightened him was that Ma Xiangyi was weak like a reptile.
The hoarse and emotionless voice of the "bed" came from Ma Xiangyi's mouth.
Several people were shocked, and hurriedly helped Ma Xiangyi to walk towards the dormitory. But when he was halfway through, he found that he had no strength in his body, and his body was even softer like a puddle of mud! Several people were startled, but fortunately, Cui Siyuan touched Ma Xiangyi's snort, and only after feeling a slight pant of breath did he breathe a heavy sigh of relief. Several people hurriedly put him on the bed, and Yisheng also hurriedly reported to Liu Yichen.
